Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty
Egypt says recovering hostage remains will take time because of conditions in Gaza
CAIRO — Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said the recovery of all Israeli hostage remains will be a challenge that takes time because of the compromised conditions on the ground in Gaza.“Collecting the remains will take some time because they are under rubble and you have a lot of explosive materials, devices under the rubble. So reaching them will be a bit difficult. But we are doing our utmost,” he told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.The difficulty in accessing the remains has been clear since ceasefire negotiations began in Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh, said Abdelatty. Egypt is a key mediator in Gaza ceasefire talks.He said Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi “spoke very openly that there are some impediments on the ground and we need to do extra efforts to find, discover...

France's beleaguered PM Lecornu survives two no-confidence votes
PARIS — French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu survived two no-confidence votes in parliament on Thursday, clinging to his fragile minority government.MPs of the National Assembly, the lower house of parliament, voted on two motions filed by the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI) and the far-right National Rally (RN), led by Marine Le Pen.The first motion filed by the hard left was narrowly rejected, garnering only 271 of the 289 votes needed to topple the government.The second motion filed by the far right also failed (144 votes) as the left refused to support it.Both groups were hoping to bring down Lecornu’s fragile government, less than a week after Macron controversially reappointed the prime minister after he had resigned.The RN, which already holds the largest number of seats in...

Flights halted at Kenyan airport as thousands turn out to receive Odinga's body
NAIROBI — Operations have been suspended at Kenya's main airport after thousands of mourners turned out to receive the body of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, a day after he died in India.Large crowds of mourners carrying twigs and palm branches breached security at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) immediately after the body of the former leader arrived on Thursday morning.Authorities said mourners gained access to restricted areas, prompting a "precautionary closure" to allow security teams to restore order and ensure safety."Members of the public and travellers are advised to remain calm and avoid the airport area until further notice," the aviation agency said.Because of the unexpectedly huge crowds, the public viewing ceremony for his body has been moved to...

Trump says Modi has agreed to stop buying Russian oil
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has said Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has agreed to stop buying Russian oil, as the US seeks to put economic pressure on the Kremlin as part of efforts to end the war in Ukraine.Trump told reporters he had received assurances from Modi that India would halt its purchases "within a short period of time", which he called "a big stop".The US president has sought to leverage India's purchases of Russian oil in his trade war, but Delhi has so far resisted.Reacting to the Trump remarks, an Indian government spokesman said discussions were "ongoing" with the US administration which had "shown interest in deepening energy co-operation with India"."Our consistent priority to safeguard the interests of the Indian consumer in a volatile energy...

Titan submersible imploded due to poor engineering, say US officials
WASHINTON — OceanGate's Titan submersible imploded on its journey to the wreck of the Titantic because of poor engineering and multiple failures to test the vessel, according to an official report.Titan imploded in June 2023, killing all five passengers on board including OceanGate's chief executive.The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found the engineering process behind the vehicle was "inadequate", resulting in faults which meant it failed to meet strength and durability requirements.The NTSB said because the firm did not adequately test Titan it did not know its actual strength. It was also unaware it was damaged and should have been removed from service before its last voyage.Titan disappeared in the North Atlantic as it attempted to dive to the wreck of...

Australia's rainforests are releasing more carbon than they absorb, warn scientists
SYDNEY — Australia's tropical rainforests have become the first in the world to release more carbon than they absorb, in a trend linked to climate change, a study has found.Rainforests are usually regarded as so-called "carbon sinks" as they absorb more emissions than they emit with new trees offsetting the carbon released by dead ones.But a study looking at data from Queensland forests found that extreme temperatures have caused more tree deaths than growths.The lead author of the study, which was published in science journal Nature, said the findings have significant implications for global emissions reduction targets which are partly based on how ecosystems — such as rainforests — can absorb carbon."Current models may overestimate the capacity of tropical forests to help...

India's exports to US plunge as Trump's 50% tariffs kick in
GUWAHATI — India's goods exports to the US, its largest foreign market, dropped sharply by 20% in September and nearly 40% in the last four months, as Trump's steep tariffs took effect, data shows.September was the first full month of Washington's 50% tariffs on Indian goods, which kicked in on 27 August.

Renewables drive putting pressure on Dutch power grid
ROTTERDAM — In a Dutch government TV campaign called "Flip the Switch" an actress warns viewers about their electricity usage."When we all use electricity at the same time, our power grid gets overloaded," she says. "This can cause malfunctions. So, use as little electricity as possible between four and nine."It is the sign that, in one of the most-advanced economies in the world, something has gone wrong with the country's power supply.The Netherlands has been an enthusiastic adopter of electric cars. It has the highest number of charging points per capita in Europe.As for electricity production, the Netherlands has replaced gas from its large North Sea reserves with wind and solar.So much so that it leads the way in Europe for the number of solar panels per person. In fact, more...
