<p>US Vice President Kamala Harris has dismissed all questions and concerns about President Joe Biden's age, but said she is prepared to take charge in case of the absence of the commander-in-chief.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Asked if she is ready to take over the presidency, she told CBS News, "Yes, I am, if necessary. But Joe Biden is going to be fine."</p>

<p>She said&nbsp;although she is prepared to be the commander-in-chief, it won't be that necessary.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Let me tell you something: I work with Joe Biden every day. The work that under Joe Biden’s leadership our administration has accomplished is transformative. I think the American people most of all, want a leader who actually gets things done."</p>

<p>The president will be turning 81 this year in November. He would be 82 at the start of a prospective second-year term in January 2025.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Republican presidential candidates like Nikki Haley said that voting for Biden would end up as voting for Harris, who has some 40 per cent approval rating in polls compiled by politics website FiveThirtyEight.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Canadian federal government on Thursday (Sept 07) named an appellate judge who will lead a public inquiry into foreign interference in the country's elections.</p>

<p>The governing Liberals announced Marie-Josee Hogue, a Quebec appeals court judge as the lead, tasked with providing a series of recommendations ahead of the federal vote in 2025, the Guardian reported.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Calling foreign interference a "global challenge," Dominic LeBlanc, who serves as the public safety and democratic institutions ministers said, "Justice Hogue will be tasked with examining and assessing foreign interference by China, Russia and other foreign states and non-state actors." He added Hogue will have full access to all key documents needed for the inquiry.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This announcement comes after months of pressure on Justin Trudeau's Liberals to launch a full inquiry amid claims of meddling by China, including concerns over illegal "police stations" operating in the country.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Back in May, Canada expelled a Chinese diplomat after an intelligence report accused him of trying to intimidate a Canadian lawmaker crucial to Beijing's treatment of its Muslim minority.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hogue will now look into the inquiry and is expected to submit her initial report by the end of February 2024, examining the interfering efforts from China and other countries.

<p><strong>What is foetal surgery?</strong></p>

<p>The post reads, "As someone who has had three really easy pregnancies in the past, I wasn’t prepared for the fear of rushing into urgent foetal surgery."</p>

<p>A foetal surgery is a medical procedure on a foetus (unborn baby) while it's still developing in a mother's uterus. It's usually done to treat life-threatening birth defects.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/travis-barker-spotted-leaving-hospital-with-pregnant-wife-kourtney-kardashian-post-cancelling-shows-632191"><strong>Also read |&nbsp;Travis Barker spotted leaving hospital with pregnant wife Kourtney Kardashian post cancelling shows</strong></a></p>

<p>There are several conditions for which foetal surgery can be performed such as Monochorionic twin complications, Spina bifida, Congenital (present at birth) lung malformations, Lower urinary tract obstruction and Sacrococcygeal teratoma etc.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The most important consideration in all foetal interventions is the safety of the mother -&nbsp;her current health and her future reproductive potential.</p>

<p>Kourtney also opened up about the fear she experienced during the medical procedure. She said she had newfound respect for all&nbsp;mothers who have faced similar situations. At the end of the post, the eldest Kardashian sister expressed her gratitude. She wrote, "Praise be to God. Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing."</p>

Kourtney also opened up about the fear she experienced during the medical procedure. She said she had newfound respect for all mothers who have faced similar situations. At the end of the post, the eldest Kardashian sister expressed her gratitude. She wrote, "Praise be to God. Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing."

<p>The US National Hurricane Centre in its public advisory on Wednesday said Tropical Storm Lee had strengthened into a Category-1 hurricane, primarily due to the warm Atlantic, while sustaining wind speeds up to 75 mph. The forecaster said Lee is likely to intensify into an extremely dangerous major hurricane&nbsp;by early Saturday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the centre of Hurricane Lee was located near latitude 14.9 North, longitude 46.4 West. Lee is moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h), and this motion is expected to continue for the next few days with a slight reduction in forward speed over the weekend," the forecast said.</p>

<p>Lee transformed into a tropical storm on Tuesday (September 5) after forming in the morning, whilst moving through extremely warm waters of the Atlantic. According to scientists, rapid intensification takes place when a storm's winds increase quickly over a short period of time. The phenomenon is usually aided by warm ocean waters.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Moving ahead, the storm has nearly all the ingredients required to become menacing in nature: Plenty of moisture, low wind shear and abnormally warm water along the entire stretch of the cyclone's projected path. Experts said if Lee tops wind speeds of 150 mph, it will be the most powerful hurricane to roam the region this year and will remain just 7 mph shy of Category 5.</p>

<p>According to a CNN report, anyone in the eastern Caribbean – including the Leeward Islands such as Puerto Rico and Hispaniola – as well as the Bahamas will need to keep a close eye on the forecast.</p>

<p>A Japanese man has admitted to starting a fire at the popular Kyoto Animation studio in 2019 that killed 36 people. While prosecutors seek the death penalty for the man, saying it was a 'revenge crime', the defence's lawyers are seeking an acquittal, citing mental incompetence. The blaze that ripped through the building was dubbed one of Japan's worst-ever murder cases.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The accused, identified as Shinji Aoba,&nbsp;reportedly broke into the studio, sprayed petrol around the ground floor and alighted it before shouting "Drop dead".&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I felt I had no other option but to do what I did. I didn't think so many people would die and now I think I went too far," said Aoba.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While Aoba admitted to the crime, his defence team entered a not-guilty plea in the trial that started on Tuesday (September 5). Aoba's team argued that even if he were convicted, he should be given a reduced sentence on account of his "state of diminished capacity", adding that he was delusional at the time of the attack.</p>
