FTX bankruptcy filing claims 'severe liquidity crisis', more than 100,000 creditors

A veteran&nbsp;female executive who complained&nbsp;about a hostile work environment for women in the most senior positions of Goldman Sachs was supposedly compensated more than $12 million, as reported by Bloomberg.

David Solomon, CEO of the storied Wall Street investment firm, was charged in the court case, which Bloomberg has seen, with boasting about having oral sex.&nbsp;

A settlement with the former business partner was reached two years ago, and the finance company allegedly fought to conceal the specifics of the dispute from becoming public knowledge.&nbsp;

According to her, senior executives at Goldman Sachs allegedly spoke crude and derogatory things about women.

The charges that Solomon made his purported boast shortly after he assumed control of the business in 2018 are included in the lawsuit.&nbsp;

At least three executives are said to have overheard Solomon's alleged statement at the time, according to the report, which alleges that the investment bank promoted a sexist culture.&nbsp;

As per Bloomberg, the fact that Solomon, 60, made such an uncharacteristic comment is what made it stand out. The allegations have been vigorously refuted by the bank.

The corporation allegedly allowed senior personnel to make obscene and vulgar remarks, according to the report, and Goldman agreed to pay the female employee "well over" $12 million.&nbsp;

It's possible that the claimed secret settlement, which was delivered two years ago, is the biggest payment of its kind to date.&nbsp;

According to Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs was keen to reach a settlement since the bank is working to increase diversity among the top ranks.

As reported by WION extensively, the Artemis programme, named after the sister of Apollo in Greek mythology, is NASA's successor to the Apollo lunar missions from 50 years ago and will pave way for future manned missions to the Moon and beyond.

The only spaceflights to date to land humans on the moon's surface involved six Apollo missions between 1969 and 1972, during which 12 men made moonwalks.

The Ukrainian Environment Minister Ruslan Strilets on Monday (November 14) said at UN climate talks that Russia must accept responsibility for the environmental damage brought on by its invasion of Ukraine.

Earlier, he had told European Union that the conflict has destroyed forests, fouled water, damaged mines and more.

A Malaysian court on Monday (November 14) rejected the government's bid to forfeit luxury goods worth millions of dollars seized from the imprisoned former premier Najib Razak saying there's no proof that the assets are connected to any criminal activity.&nbsp;

Is Taliban 2.0 any different? Taliban forces full implementation of Sharia

The U.S. has been Israel's most consistent and important ally, but it has now opened an investigation into the killing of Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. The move has irked Israel. Can Biden afford to anger its ally?

WION Fineprint | US to probe Shireen Abu Akleh's killing?

A new research has shown that&nbsp;Chimpanzees show each other objects just for the sake of it, akin to humans, to garner attention.&nbsp;

The study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences cites the example of a&nbsp;wild adult chimpanzee named 'Fiona' in the Kibale national park of Uganda.

In a video that has been captured during the study, Fiona can be seen picking a leaf, examining it and later shoving it under her mother Sutherland's nose momentarily, before snatching it back.&nbsp;

“She’s not offering it for food. She doesn’t want her mum to do anything," said Prof Katie Slocombe, a co-author of the study.

"She just wants them to look at it together, and be like ‘Oh, cool, nice!’," added Slocombe.&nbsp;

The behaviour, previously thought to be unique to humans has intrigued scientists who believe that Chimpanzees might be much closer to humans than we had earlier predicted.

Scientists ruled out alternative explanations for the behaviours such as food sharing and&nbsp;playing or initiating grooming. They said if the motive was to share food, Fiona would have relinquished the possession of the lone leaf but in this case, she did not.&nbsp;

The team of researchers have only recorded one instance of such behaviour but they are optimistic that similar examples can be found in future or previously collected footage.
