U.S. issued several warnings to India against the import of Russian oil, saying it was not in India's interest. India continued its energy imports from Russia and now U.S. has started taking a softer stance towards India. U.S. has now taken several opportunities to exclaim how it wishes to be India's 'best defence partner'. But why? Is Russia getting something from India that U.S. wants? Here’s a report by Shivan Chanana.

The White House issued a&nbsp;statement on Saturday&nbsp;saying&nbsp;the United States President Joe Biden has accepted the resignation of the country’s Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner, Christopher Magnus. This comes a day after Magnus had spoken to the media about an official from the president’s administration allegedly asking him to resign or be fired.

Magnus claimed&nbsp;that he had been asked to step down or be fired from the role, by Homeland Security Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, who is also a Biden administration cabinet member who oversees the CBP, said a report by Reuters citing media reports. However, Magnus was adamant about not resigning, due to his commitment to the agency, the report added.

International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva in a recent interview said the US-China trade rivalry, which started during the Donald Trump reign posed a high risk to the global economy.

International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva in a recent interview said the US-China trade rivalry, which started during the Donald Trump reign posed a high risk to the global economy. “We may be sleepwalking into a world that is poorer and less secure as a result,” said Georgieva. Citing her example of living through the cold war, Georgieva said, “I lived through the first Cold War on the other side of the Iron Curtain. And, yeah, it is quite cold out there. And to go in a second cold war for another generation is...very irresponsible.” While the US-China trade is still sizeable, hovering around the $600 billion mark, the two countries have been at loggerheads for a long time. Read more: US enforces export controls to restrict China's chip supply for hi-tech military applications What started with Trump as a 'trade war' has continued in one way or another with President Joe Biden in the White House. The last few months have been dominated by the 'semincoductor wars' between the two nations. Washington has imposed an export ban to restrict China's chip supply for hi-tech military applications. Georgieva said it was impossible to see a complete rupture in the relationship but added, “It is important to think through actions and what they may generate as counter actions carefully, because once you let the genie out of the bottle, it’s hard to put it back in.” WATCH | US-China battle over semiconductors × As reported by WION, in the aftermath of the export curbs, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi had accused the US of harming its rights. “The US side introduced new export controls against China, restricting investments in China, seriously violating free-trade principles and seriously harming China’s legitimate rights and interests, which must be corrected.” Read more: Chinese foreign minister lashes out at Blinken during a phone call “The US side should stop its containment and suppression of China and not create new obstacles to bilateral relations,” it added.

U.S. Midterm Elections: Republicans and Democrats are neck and neck in Senate race

As the results of Tuesday's midterm elections votes are still being counted, Democrats are just one seat away from claiming a majority in the US Senate next year.&nbsp;

With both Democrats and Republicans fighting for the victory, the competition gets tough as the campaigning for Georgia's run-off on December 6 is underway.&nbsp;

If Democratic Senator Catherina Cortez Masto defeats Republican opposition, Adam Laxalt, her party would then hold 50 of the Senate's seats. However, Laxalt was in the lead by nearly 800 votes in Nevada, and uncounted votes of &nbsp;Catherine might change the decision, Reuters reported.&nbsp;

If Democrats win in Georgina it would then be able to take control of the 51-49 Senates. But if they fail to win in Georgia but claim victory in Nevada, it would still hold control over 50-50 Senate seats as the US VP Kamala Harris can tie votes.

In order to connect its biggest plant to its biggest market in North America, Tesla has thought of exporting electric vehicles built in China to the US and Canada, as reported by Reuters.

According to the individuals, who wished to remain anonymous because the discussion was private, Tesla has been examining whether electric cars produced in Shanghai's Gigafactory could be offered for sale in North America as early as next year.&nbsp;

According to them, Tesla has taken into account whether parts produced by its Chinese suppliers would be consistent with laws in the US and Canada while making its review.

The Shanghai facility has been working on a preliminary plan for a small-batch test run of vehicle manufacturing in the first quarter of 2023 that would be in compliance with North American norms for prospective export.&nbsp;

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, simply wrote "False" on Twitter on Friday without further explanation. When contacted by Reuters, Tesla's Austin, Texas-based representatives declined to comment or elaborate on Musk's statement. A screenshot of Musk's denial was provided in response by a Tesla representative in China.

Tesla considering export of made-in-China electric vehicles to US and Canada: Report

Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said in COP27 summit on Saturday that Mexico will strengthen its emissions-cutting efforts as part of a $48 billion renewable energy investment scheme with the United States.

The minister said that Mexico will cut greenhouse gas emissions by 35 per cent by 2030. This is up from previous commitment of 22 per cent. &nbsp;

The plan would require funding from both the public and private sectors this decade to double clean energy generation in Mexico.

It will "accelerate the energy transition in North America", Ebrard told a press conference at the UN climate summit in Egypt alongside US climate envoy John Kerry.

Kerry said Mexico had indicated a "significant step forward", noting the announcement was part of a three-way negotiation including Canada.

Neither official specified the amount of US financial support for the scheme.

Ebrard said it would require "double the clean energy efforts and investment efforts in the next eight years" compared to the original plan presented in 2020.

Mexico pledges greater emission cuts with joint US plan

US President Joe Biden on Saturday (November 12) held talks with Southeast Asian leaders during Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit in Cambodia. Biden hailed the new US-ASEAN pact as a critical which will help tackling "the biggest issue of our time."

This was Biden's first visit to Southeast Asia as a president. The US president said that the region was at the heart of his administration's Indo-Pacific strategy and Washington was committing resources, not just rhetoric, under a new Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

"Together we will tackle the biggest issues of our time, from climate, to health security, to defend against the significant threat to the rule-based order," he said, opening a meeting in Cambodia with leaders of the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

"We will build an Indo Pacific that's free and open, stable and prosperous, and resilient and secure," he added.

ASEAN is engaging a host of leaders, including Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol.

Biden's presence comes as the United States seeks to reassert itself after a period of regional uncertainty about its commitment under US predecessor Donald Trump, and concerted efforts by rival China to boost its influence and fill the void.

US President Joe Biden on Saturday (November 12) held talks with Southeast Asian leaders during Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit in Cambodia.

US President Joe Biden on Saturday (November 12) held talks with Southeast Asian leaders during Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit in Cambodia. Biden hailed the new US-ASEAN pact as a critical which will help tackling "the biggest issue of our time." This was Biden's first visit to Southeast Asia as a president. The US president said that the region was at the heart of his administration's Indo-Pacific strategy and Washington was committing resources, not just rhetoric, under a new Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. "Together we will tackle the biggest issues of our time, from climate, to health security, to defend against the significant threat to the rule-based order," he said, opening a meeting in Cambodia with leaders of the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations. "We will build an Indo Pacific that's free and open, stable and prosperous, and resilient and secure," he added. ASEAN is engaging a host of leaders, including Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol. Biden's presence comes as the United States seeks to reassert itself after a period of regional uncertainty about its commitment under US predecessor Donald Trump, and concerted efforts by rival China to boost its influence and fill the void.

US-ASEAN pact to tackle 'biggest issues of our time,' says Biden in Cambodia

A 29-year-old woman in Texas has been sentenced to death for killing a pregnant acquaintance in October 2020 so that the foetus inside her womb could be removed and stolen.

Taylor Parker on Wednesday was sentenced in Texas after a lengthy trial that began in September this year.&nbsp;

The drama began when Parker announced her pregnancy to her boyfriend and family over a period of time. She purchased a fake silicone tummy and shared this news on social media. However, everything was a lie. The actual truth was that because of the Hysterectomy, she was unable to get pregnant.

The horrific scene of the murder happened on October 09, 2020, when Readab Simmons-Hancock, a 21-year-old pregnant acquaintance in her last stages of pregnancy was stabbed over 100 times in her home by Parker. Parker then sliced her stomach to take her unborn child. Her three-year-old daughter was also present at the time of the instance but was sleeping in another room, AFP reported.

After escaping from the house, Parker was taken into custody shortly while driving her car around nine miles from the crime scene.&nbsp;

The police said that Parker had the infant on her lap. The police department added that Parker claimed that she gave birth to the child. However, the child also passed away despite being admitted to the hospital.

According to the police testimony during the trial, Parker had been looking for pregnant women across stores and maternity wards a few weeks prior to the murder.&nbsp;

The group of children were found suffering from violent vomiting, abdominal pain and muscle spasms.&nbsp;

Jose Pablo Toloza Rondón, Hato's mayor said, “The children were passed out, at the time they were found they were short of breath and thick drool was coming out of their mouths.

“It is not ruled out that it was the Ouija board, that is part of the investigation. Others say that they consumed water from a container, others that they came from a pool and had been given something to eat," the Mayor added.&nbsp;

Most of the children were treated at a health centre nearby while five of them were taken to the Manuela Beltrán Hospital. 
Doctors after running the diagnosis and giving the children treatment said in medical reports that the teenagers suffered from food poisoning.&nbsp;

What is Ouija board game?&nbsp;

Ouija board is a board game that has letters, numbers, the words yes, no, hello and goodbye, as well as other symbols on it.&nbsp;

The boards can allegedly be used to contact the dead, whose “spirits” will move the planchette – a heart-shaped piece of wood or plastic – around the board to spell out answers to the questions players ask. Users place their hands on the planchette and ask any present spirits to answer their questions by moving the planchette around the board to spell out their response.
