US halts all asylum decisions after DC National Guard shooting
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has halted all asylum decisions in the United States following the shooting of two National Guard soldiers near the White House, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Joseph Edlow announced on Friday. Edlow said the nationwide pause will remain in effect “until we can ensure that every alien is vetted and screened to the maximum degree possible.” The move came hours after U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to “permanently pause migration” from what he called “third world countries.” The rapid series of decisions follows Wednesday’s attack, which left one National Guard member dead and another in critical condition. Officials have accused an Afghan national of carrying out the shooting. While the initial measures...

Albanese becomes first Australian PM to marry in office
CANBERRA — Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has married his partner Jodie Haydon, becoming the first sitting leader in the country’s history to wed while in office. The couple exchanged vows on Saturday afternoon in Canberra, a day after the final parliamentary session of the year. “We are absolutely delighted to share our love and commitment to spending our future lives together, in front of our family and closest friends,” Albanese said in a statement following the ceremony. The pair became engaged on Valentine’s Day last year. Both the proposal and the wedding reception were held at The Lodge, the prime minister’s official residence.

Nigeria disputes claims jihadist groups behind recent mass kidnappings
ABUJA — The Nigerian government says Boko Haram and Islamic State in West Africa Province (Iswap) are responsible for a recent surge in mass abductions across north-western and central Nigeria, but analysts dispute the claim, arguing that the attacks were carried out by local criminal gangs known as “bandits.” This marks the first time the government has publicly attributed the kidnappings to jihadist groups, though it offered no evidence to support the assessment. Kidnapping for ransom has become widespread in recent years, involving a mix of armed gangs, jihadist factions, and separatist groups. While ransoms remain illegal, officials have long been accused of covertly paying them. Three mass abductions have taken place in the past two weeks:• 17 November — Kebbi state: 25...

Russian strikes leave more than 600,000 without power in Kyiv region
KYIV — More than 600,000 people in the Kyiv region are without power after overnight Russian strikes on energy infrastructure, Ukrainian officials said on Saturday. Ukraine’s energy ministry reported that more than 500,000 of those affected were in the capital itself, with the remainder in surrounding districts. The ministry said the outages were caused by waves of missile and drone attacks targeting energy facilities in Kyiv and several other regions. Ukrainian authorities said Russia launched around 36 missiles and nearly 600 drones in the overnight assault, killing three people and injuring dozens. The strikes are part of a renewed campaign against Ukraine’s civilian and energy infrastructure as the country heads into winter, despite continued US-led efforts to broker a peace...

Airbus says most grounded A320-family jets return to service after global radiation warning
PARIS — Thousands of Airbus aircraft have returned to normal service after being grounded worldwide for hours following a warning that solar radiation could interfere with their flight-control computers, officials and airlines said on Saturday. Airbus said the issue affected around 6,000 jets from its A320 family, with most requiring only a quick software update. About 900 older aircraft, however, must replace a specific onboard computer before resuming full operations. French Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot said updates “went very smoothly” for more than 5,000 aircraft, adding that “fewer than 100 planes” still required the patch, according to local media. “Software updates were already rolled out overnight on virtually all devices,” he said. The grounding created...

UN committee says Israel operating ‘de facto policy of organised and widespread torture’
GAZA — A UN committee has said there is credible evidence that Israel is operating a “de facto state policy of organised and widespread torture” against Palestinians held in its custody, warning that alleged abuses amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity. The findings were issued by the United Nations Committee Against Torture, which reviews the records of all states that are party to the Convention Against Torture. During Israel’s review, the committee heard testimony from Israeli and Palestinian human rights groups, who detailed severe mistreatment in detention centres and reported thousands of arrests since Oct. 7, 2023. Under Israel’s administrative detention laws and the Unlawful Combatants Law, Palestinians can be held for extended periods without access to lawyers...

Zelensky announces resignation of chief of staff Yermak after anti-corruption raid
KYIV — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced the resignation of his chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, after anti-corruption investigators searched his Kyiv apartment in a widening scandal shaking the government at a critical moment in the Russia-Ukraine war. Yermak — widely seen as the most influential figure in Zelensky’s inner circle and the architect of Ukraine’s diplomatic strategy — has not been accused of wrongdoing but has faced growing pressure as public anger over corruption allegations mounts. The scandal threatens to weaken Kyiv’s negotiating position as the United States pushes a new plan to end the nearly four-year conflict. In a somber address delivered outside the presidential office, Zelensky warned that internal division could jeopardize the...
