The crisis in West Asia continues to intensify. On Saturday (Nov 23), Israeli strikes reportedly killed 19 people in the Gaza Strip and 11 people in Beirut, Lebanon.

The crisis in West Asia continues to intensify. On Saturday (Nov 23), Israeli strikes reportedly killed 19 people in the Gaza Strip and 11 people in Beirut, Lebanon. A Gaza's civil defence agency spokesperson told the news agency AFP that 40 others were injured in Saturday's strikes in the Palestinian territory. "Nineteen people were killed and more than 40 others wounded in three massacres caused by Israeli air strikes in the Gaza Strip between midnight and this morning as well as by tank fire in Rafah in the territory's south," the spokesperson of Gaza's civil defence said.

No evacuation warning from Israel for Beirut "The Israeli enemy strike on Basta al-Fawqa in Beirut killed 11 people, including a large amount of body parts that are being identified. The final death toll will be determined after DNA tests are carried out," the Lebanese health ministry said in a statement. Citing state media, AFP reported that rescuers were seen removing rubble in Al-Mamoun Street in the Basta (neighbourhood), where Israeli enemy aircraft targeted an eight-story building at dawn, destroying it, and leaving a large number of people dead and wounded. State media also said that Saturday's strikes were the second time the Basta district had been targeted since the Israel-Hezbollah conflict in Lebanon began. Israel and Iran-aligned Lebanese militant group Hezbollah have exchanged fire for over a year in parallel with the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip, which began on October 7, 2023. Following a year of cross-border exchanges, Israel dramatically escalated its air campaign in Lebanon in September and later sent ground troops into southern Lebanon to fight Hezbollah. 'Hospitals in Gaza only have two days of fuel left' On Friday, the Palestinian health ministry said that hospitals in Gaza had only two days of fuel left before they must restrict services. Marwan al-Hams, director of Gaza's field hospitals, told reporters all hospitals in the Palestinian territory "will stop working or reduce their services within 48 hours due to the occupation's (Israel's) obstruction of fuel entry."

South Korea Metro was recently slammed for being racist after an employee responded to an online complaint about Chinese-language announcements in subway stations. On Oct 26, someone complained online about “excessive Chinese announcements” in subways and palaces. To this, a staff member called groups of Chinese people "villains" on the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s website, writing that some of their groups can become noisy and disruptive.

“When two or more Chinese gather together, they can get noisy and make a ruckus, turning into villains,” it said.

It went on to add that announcements asking them to be orderly and conduct themselves well are also needed. “It is necessary we broadcast Chinese announcements encouraging order and good conduct on trains, putting out an enlightening reminder against disorder.”

It further stated that Seoul Metro would look into the "possibility of broadcasting announcements only in Korean and English in the future".

The comments were widely criticised, with Seoul Metro being labelled culturally biased.&nbsp;

<h2>Seoul Metro vows to improve things</h2>

It quickly responded to mitigate the consequences, issuing a statement and publicly apologising for “the inappropriate language and content regarding Chinese tourists in the response to the complaint”.

Seoul Metro also said that it would hold training for all its employees to avoid such incidents in the future. Those responsible for responding to complaints would receive "special training". Other areas would also be improved upon, including implementing stricter content review processes before public release.

“We will also ensure that the head of the department replies to such complaints, or at least check the content of the responses,” the company said.

It added that it would work to create a "more convenient subway environment" for foreign tourists.&nbsp;

The geopolitical situation between China and South Korea has reportedly led to anti-China sentiments among Koreans. South Korea, under President Yoon Suk-yeol, has strengthened ties with the US and Japan while distancing itself from China.

China has discovered a "massive" new goldfield in Hunan province, containing gold reserves valued at tens of billions of dollars. Geologists have found more than 40 gold veins at the Wangu gold mine in Pingjiang County, located less than 2,000 metres underground.

China has discovered a "massive" new goldfield in Hunan province, containing gold reserves valued at tens of billions of dollars. Geologists have found more than 40 gold veins at the Wangu gold mine in Pingjiang County, located less than 2,000 metres underground. The Hunan Provincial Geological Institute reported that the total gold resources in the mine's core area now amount to 300.2 tonnes. The newly identified deposits, classified as a "massive" reserve, contain over 1,000 tonnes of gold, estimated to be worth around 600 billion yuan (approximately $82.8 billion) based on current market prices. “This discovery is a major achievement for China’s mineral exploration strategy,” Liu Yongjun, vice president of the Hunan Provincial Geological Institute told the South China Morning Post (SCMP). The Wangu goldfield has long been one of China’s most vital gold-mining hubs. Since 2020, over 100 million yuan has been invested by provincial authorities in mineral exploration in the area. Also read: Why does the weight return? Because your body doesn't want to let go of it In recent years, gold demand in China has surged as consumers and investors sought a haven amidst economic uncertainties. However, this demand has eased recently after the central bank halted gold purchases in May and the yuan weakened against the dollar. Gold prices in China have also dropped, hitting a near-two-month low. Retail gold jewellery prices have seen a decline, with items from chains like Chow Tai Fook and Chow Sang Sang selling for 720 yuan ($99) per gram, down from 820 yuan earlier in the month. China has been intensifying its investments in mineral exploration as part of its 2021-2025 development plan, which aims to expand domestic reserves of strategic resources. Exploration investment in 2022 rose by 8 per cent year-on-year, reaching 110.5 billion yuan. This has boosted reserves of essential resources, including oil, natural gas, rare earths, and gold. China has made several significant discoveries recently. In September, 4.96 million tonnes of rare earths were identified in Sichuan’s Liangshan Yi autonomous prefecture. (With inputs from agencies)

NATO chief Mark Rutte held talks with US President-elect Donald Trump in Florida on the "global security issues facing the alliance", a spokeswoman said Saturday.

The meeting took place on Friday in Palm Beach, NATO's Farah Dakhlallah said in a statement.&nbsp;

In his first term, Trump aggressively pushed Europe to step up defence spending and questioned the fairness of the NATO transatlantic alliance.

The former Dutch prime minister had said he wanted to meet Trump two days after Trump was elected on November 5, and discuss the threat of increasingly warming ties between North Korea and Russia.

Trump's thumping victory to return to the US presidency has set nerves jangling in Europe that he could pull the plug on vital Washington military aid for Ukraine.

The Donald Trump 2.0 cabinet continues to expand as the United States (US) President-elect has named two more Republicans who will be a part of his administration.

The Donald Trump 2.0 cabinet continues to expand as the United States (US) President-elect has named two more Republicans who will be a part of his administration. On Friday (Nov 22), Trump named billionaire Scott Bessent as his treasury secretary, choosing the hedge fund manager to help execute an agenda promising tax cuts and tariffs. Meanwhile, Trump also chose former Congressman and medical doctor Dave Weldon as the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Who is Scott Bessent? Bessent, 62, is the chief executive officer (CEO) of Key Square Group. Originally from the US state of South Carolina, Bessent attended Yale University and served as chief investment officer of Soros Fund Management, the macroeconomic investment firm of billionaire George Soros. In 2015, he raised capital, including $2 billion from Soros, to start his own hedge fund, according to a report by the news agency AFP. "Scott is widely respected as one of the world's foremost international investors and geopolitical and economic strategists," Trump said in a statement on Friday. "He will help me usher in a new Golden Age for the United States, as we fortify our position as the world's leading economy," Trump said, adding that Bessent would also help "reinvigorate the private sector, and help curb the unsustainable path of federal debt." The hedge fund manager has known the Trump family for 30 years. He had recently served as an advisor to Trump. Bessent has called for tax reform and deregulation to spur growth. Who is Dave Weldon? Dave Weldon, 71, had served in the US House of Representatives representing Florida's 15th district from 1995-2009. He did not seek reelection in 2008. Weldon earned his MD degree at the University of Buffalo School of Medicine in 1981. He had served in the US Army. In a statement, Trump said on Friday that Weldon would "proudly restore the CDC to its true purpose, and will work to end the Chronic Disease Epidemic." Weldon would replace Dr Mandy Cohen, an internal medicine physician and former chief of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, where she led the state's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a Congressman, Weldon introduced a bill that would give responsibility for the nation's vaccine safety to an independent agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, removing most vaccine safety research from the CDC, as per a report by USA Today.

Methanol poisoning has killed at least six tourists in Laos – a British woman, two Australian teenagers, a 56-year-old American citizen and two Danish women in their 20s. A New Zealand citizen has also fallen ill. Several countries are now warning tourists about the fatal consequences of drinking tainted alcohol in the Southeast Asian country, even a small amount of which can prove lethal.

<h2>What is Methanol?</h2>

Methanol is similar to ethanol, the pure form of alcohol, and even looks and tastes like alcohol. It is also odourless, tasteless, and highly flammable, just like ethanol. It is also known as wood alcohol and has the same first effects as ethanol. However, methanol has a very different chemical structure which makes it unfit for human consumption.&nbsp;

However, it is an industrial chemical found in antifreeze and windshield washer fluid. It is also used to make solvents, pesticides, paint thinners, and alternative fuels.

Drinking methanol can make one feel sick and dizzy, just like regular alcohol. So people won't suspect that something is wrong with their body. However, the problem begins hours later when the liver tries to break it down to clear it from the body.&nbsp;

Enzymes in the body metabolise methanol into formaldehyde. It is used to make industrial glue and embalming substances and then breaks it down into formic acid.

<h2>How does methanol enter alcoholic drinks?</h2>

In some parts of the world, methanol can find its way into alcoholic drinks for various reasons. Since it is cheaper than ethanol, sometimes it is mixed in to prepare counterfeit alcohol. It is bottled and sold at bars and shops.&nbsp;

It can occur in homemade alcohol as well, a practice prevalent across Southeast Asia. Methanol is triggered in the alcohol in large quantities when it is fermented and distilled without due measures.&nbsp;

<h2>How is methanol poisoning treated?</h2>

Countering the effects of methanol is not easy since it is hard to know that bootleg alcohol has been consumed. Experts say that the effects of methanol poisoning can be countered by using ethanol. However, this can only be done within the first 10 to 30 hours after consumption. It should be treated at a hospital and dialysis can be done to clean the blood.

<h2>Symptoms of methanol poisoning</h2>

Symptoms of methanol poisoning might appear similar to alcohol poisoning. One can feel nauseous and vomit, suffer from blurred vision, and loss of sight, and have problems looking at bright lights. It also causes abdominal and muscle pain,&nbsp;dizziness and confusion, besides fatigue.

A mysterious orb-like object was seen flying over the Hudson River in footage aired by a local news helicopter on Monday. The light can be seen zooming in the clear skies of New York and later goes over lower Manhattan, the New York Post reported. The video was seen in a Fox 5 news report that accidentally caught the object.

The chopper was in the south of Battery Park and the light arches towards it in the video. The orb is moving extremely fast and looks white and blue in the video as it moves towards the camera.&nbsp;

While Americans are no strangers to UFOs, with several reports being made about strange objects or lights in the skies, this incident seems to be one of those where even experts on extraterrestrial issues seem to think that this is not it. They say that it mostly likely looks like an optical illusion created by the helicopter glass in front of the camera.

“This is most likely an optical artefact from the helicopter glass in front of the camera, namely a bright spot from the reflection of sunlight as the camera gradually changes its orientation relative to the sun and the ground,” Loeb told The Post.

Others also say that it just looks like an artefact, not a real object. Some also theorize that it might simply be a drone that only appears to move fast because the helicopter is also moving.

How fast the object is can be gauged from the fact it first crosses in front of a building in New Jersey near Hoboken. A shadow can also be spotted on a building. The object then picks up the trace of the shadow. The image soon enters the airspace of the Hudson River, moving away from New Jersey. It crosses towards the Lower Manhattan shoreline and down toward the mouth of the bay.

Starting from Hoboken, proceeding all the way down the river while passing the tip of Manhattan shows just how fast the object was travelling. The Post reported that going by its movement, the object covered three miles in just four seconds.&nbsp;

<h2>Pentagon's UFO department on aliens</h2>

UFOs have been making headlines for the past few days in the US. Jon T. Kosloski, the director of the Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) testified in front of the United States Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities earlier this week. He said the office has "not discovered any verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial beings, activity or technology".

Before this, it released a report saying more than 20 unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) incidents reported in the past year have no explanation.

There was another hearing where former officials said that the US government has hidden evidence of extraterrestrial visitors and other-worldly objects for years.&nbsp;

Others also say that it just looks like an artefact, not a real object. Some also theorize that it might simply be a drone that only appears to move fast because the helicopter is also moving.

A shadow can also be spotted on a building. The object then picks up the trace of the shadow. The image soon enters the airspace of the Hudson River, moving away from New Jersey. It crosses towards the Lower Manhattan shoreline and down toward the mouth of the bay. Starting from Hoboken, proceeding all the way down the river while passing the tip of Manhattan shows just how fast the object was travelling. The Post reported that going by its movement, the object covered three miles in just four seconds. Pentagon's UFO department on aliens UFOs have been making headlines for the past few days in the US. Jon T. Kosloski, the director of the Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) testified in front of the United States Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities earlier this week. He said the office has "not discovered any verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial beings, activity or technology". Before this, it released a report saying more than 20 unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) incidents reported in the past year have no explanation. There was another hearing where former officials said that the US government has hidden evidence of extraterrestrial visitors and other-worldly objects for years.
