Commercial flights are routinely facing&nbsp;"jamming" or "spoofing" in the airspace around the Baltic Sea, as indicated by a recent report by Newsweek. Over the last couple of days, around 1,614 flights encountered consistent interference with national GPS signals.

The report is based on open-source analysis from an X account that keeps track of GPS interference.&nbsp;A map provided by this source indicated widespread disruptions over Poland and southern Sweden, although a subsequent update suggested that the interference became primarily concentrated in northern Poland.

Interfering with both GPS and broader Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signals could potentially lead to confusion for both manned and unmanned aircraft, as their navigation systems might perceive inaccurate locations.

The increase in disruptions was attributed to jamming activities originating from Russia's Kaliningrad region, positioned between Poland and Lithuania and serving as a strategic location for one of Russia's major naval fleets.

According to an unnamed Lithuanian defence official interviewed by Newsweek, Russia is implicated in the matter. The official stated, "The Russian armed forces possess a diverse range of military equipment specifically designed for interfering with GNSS, encompassing jamming and spoofing, with varying distances, durations, and intensities."

<h2>A recurrent problem</h2>

Earlier this month, a pilot informed The Telegraph that the problem has become "more widespread" in airspace and areas where military operations or border tensions are on the rise.

"Every flight I operate across northern Turkey and into Iraq - essentially along the Russian and Iranian borders - now has GPS interference. Aircraft systems alert us when something isn't working. We often get numerous alerts in the space of a couple of hours. It's been like that for around a year now," the unnamed pilot said.

"The GPS interference spoofs the aircraft into not knowing its location. Thankfully, we have other systems to mitigate this issue," he added.

The pilot also noted that this issue could diminish some of the pilot's visual situational awareness.

"It's crucial to be aware of what's beneath us in the event of a rapid depressurization, which although rare, is a possible occurrence," stated the pilot, noting that airlines have adapted to this changing environment.

Furthermore, The Telegraph report indicated that certain commercial airlines have circulated memos to their staff, acknowledging that the problem was "particularly prevalent" over Ankara in Turkey and Baghdad in Iraq. Additionally, it was described as becoming "more widespread" over the eastern Mediterranean, as well as across Cairo in Egypt and Amman in Jordan.

US President Joe Biden urged world leaders to take action to reduce supply-chain problems and prevent them from happening in the future. While speaking to fellow leaders gathered for the G20 summit in Rome, Biden also laid out new steps his administration is taking to address the issue at home.

US President Joe Biden urged world leaders to take action to reduce supply-chain problems and prevent them from happening in the future. While speaking to fellow leaders gathered for the G20 summit in Rome, Biden also laid out new steps his administration is taking to address the issue at home. As the coronavirus pandemic took over the world at the beginning of 2019, all kinds of transportation came to a halt. This has negatively impacted the industry and companies have had to bear massive losses, thus affecting the global supply chain. Earlier in September, the transport industry urged global leaders and the United Nations (UN) to pay attention to their worsening situation. IRU, the world road transport organisation, IATA, the International Air Transport Association, ICS, the International Chamber of Shipping, and ITF, the International Transport Workers' Federation came together to draft a letter and make an urgent plea on behalf of the whole transport industry. Also read | UK's Johnson warns on COP26: 'If Glasgow fails, the whole thing fails' "Our collective industries account for more than $20 trillion of world trade annually, and represent 65 million global transport workers, and over 3.5 million road freight and airline companies, as well as more than 80% of the world merchant shipping fleet," the chiefs said in a joint letter. The joint open letter by the global transport chiefs blamed world leaders for not offering them enough support in these difficult times. "Transport workers keep the world running and are vital for the free movement of products, including vaccines and PPE, but have been continually failed by governments and taken for granted by their officials," the letter reads.

Israel's Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Sunday declared the fight against climate change a "national security" priority and pledged to "facilitate" investments in green energy.

Days before the COP26 global climate summit in the British city of Glasgow -- which Bennett is due to attend -- the Israeli government announced the creation of "working groups" on climate change.

"The climate crisis is one of the major issues on the world agenda," Bennett said, calling it a "new National Security Interest" of Israel.

"It concerns the lives of all of us, and also the lives of our children and grandchildren," he added. "We are obligated to deal with it in Israel; it is at the core of our being."

The Jewish state is one of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) member states that invests the least in public transport.

But Bennett said the government has approved decisions "promoting clean and low-carbon transportation, energy efficiency, reducing emissions, encouraging technological innovation and accelerating infrastructure."

In June, the new coalition government led by Bennett set Israel the objective of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 27 per cent by 2030, and by 85 per cent by 2050, compared to the 2015 level.

Israel is proud of its high-tech sector, with companies in the cyber-security field, defence and financial technologies enjoying international success, and employing a tenth of the workforce.

The government sees similar innovation being deployed in the green sector.

"For many years, Israeli start-ups have been at the global forefront in taking action in various areas," Energy Minister Karine Elharrar said.

"This decision is intended to remove barriers, promote pioneering projects and facilitate green energy entrepreneurs."

Environment Minister Tamar Zandberg said that after "too many years of foot-dragging", the Israeli government was at last showing "real commitment" on the issue.

"The government is preparing for climate change," Zandberg said.

The United States is working to expand normalisation agreements between Israel and Arab nations, known as the Abraham Accords, and hopes restoring such ties can be leveraged to advance progress on the Israeli and Palestinian conflict, senior State Department officials said on Tuesday.

In a briefing with reporters previewing US&nbsp;Secretary of State Antony Blinken's meetings on Wednesday with his Israeli and Emirati counterparts, officials repeated that the Abraham Accords were not a substitute for the two-state solution between Israelis and Palestinians.

"We continue to welcome the economic cooperation between Israel and all countries in the region. We hope that normalisation can be leveraged to advance progress on the Israeli-Palestinian tracks," a senior State Department official, speaking on the condition of anonymity said.

Blinken will first meet with Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid and United Arab Emirates Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan separately at the State Department on Wednesday. He will then host a trilateral meeting with both of them, the first of its kind.

The leaders of Israel, the UAE and Bahrain signed the Abraham Accords at the White House last September. The following month, Israel and Sudan announced they would normalize relations, and Morocco established diplomatic ties with Israel in December, after US&nbsp;President Joe Biden defeated his predecessor Donald Trump in the election.

Palestinian officials said they felt betrayed by their Arab brethren for reaching deals with Israel without first demanding progress toward the creation of a Palestinian state. Until last year, only two Arab states - Egypt and Jordan - had forged full ties with Israel.

The US&nbsp;officials did not say precisely how Washington aimed to use the normalisation agreements as a tool to make progress on the Israeli-Palestinian issue.

Washington's attempt to politicize the China-U.S. trade issue by interfering in China's domestic affairs is not helping to resolve the dispute, as Beijing has said time and again that it won't budge on an issue of principle, according to a China Media Group (CMG) commentary published on Tuesday.

Apple Inc plans to issue bonds in Taiwan for the first time with the aim of raising $1 billion, sources familiar with the matter said. It will be joining a queue of big global names that have sold billions of dollars on the island`s busy debt market.&nbsp; 
The U.S. dollar bonds will have a tenor of 30 years, the sources told Reuters on Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity. Apple declined to comment when asked about the plan.&nbsp; 
Liquidity in the Taiwanese bond market is flush, with long-term buyers of debt, primarily life insurance firms, seeking creditworthy names and chasing higher yields. Blue-chip multinationals regularly issue dollar bonds of such size on the island, home to Apple`s supply chain. 
In December, U.S. chipmaker Intel Corp sold $915 million of 30-year bonds with yields of 4.7 percent. A month later, Global brewer Anheuser Busch InBev SA issued a $1.47 billion bond of the same maturity at 4.915 percent, according to Taiwan Over-The-Counter Exchange data.&nbsp; 
So far this year, upwards of $16 billion in new U.S. dollar bonds have been issued, already more than half of the $29 billion in U.S. dollar bonds sold for all of 2015, OTC exchange data shows.&nbsp; 
Taiwan`s over-the-counter exchange, where corporate bonds can trade in the secondary market, said it was not aware of any plan by Apple to issue bonds. In Taiwan, bond issuers only need three days or less to notify the exchange before being listed.&nbsp; 
Market participants have been looking at initial yields of around 4.2 percent to 4.3 percent on the planned Apple bonds, two of the sources said.&nbsp; 
The island`s 30-year government bond, which is less liquid in the secondary market, was last quoted around 1.6475 percent. 
The planned Apple bonds will not be redeemable for the first two years, two of the sources said, citing market participants that had made enquiries.
