32 tonnes of humanitarian aid are flown by Garuda Indonesia to Pakistan.

On September 26, the national carrier Garuda Indonesia sent an Airbus A330-300 to Pakistan. The Indonesian government sent more than 32 tonnes of assistance to Pakistan’s flood victims on board the wide-body aircraft.

President Joko Widodo, often known as Jokowi, saw and signalled the departure of the aircraft with flight number GA-7500.

Irfan Setiaputra, president director of Garuda Indonesia, stated that the government’s National Disaster Mitigation Agency had organised two humanitarian flights, with Monday’s delivery being the first of them (BNPB). 61 tonnes of assistance were transported in total.

These two unique flights travelled through Banda Aceh from Jakarta’s Halim Perdanakusuma Airport to Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport.

At 2:00 this morning, September 27, the second cargo departed from Jakarta and was due in Karachi at 10:00 local time.

Irfan added in a written statement that was cited on Tuesday, September 27, “It is an honour for us to carry out a mandate of the state and be at the vanguard in actualizing the Indonesian people’s concern for the people of Pakistan.”

Irfan thinks that the humanitarian mission would not only lessen the pain of Karachi’s natural catastrophe victims, but also strengthen ties between Indonesia and Pakistan by exemplifying the great ideals of the Indonesian people.

A rights group in Ethiopia claims that security personnel killed several innocent citizens.

Following an assault on the southern city of Gambella in June, the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission said on Wednesday that security forces had killed hundreds of civilians who were believed to be working with the rebels.

The Gambella Liberation Front (GLF) and the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), two rebel groups that the Ethiopian government has designated as terrorist organisations, together launched an attack on June 14 that resulted in a multi-hour fire battle.

The EHRC said in a 13-page study based on interviews with 58 persons, including victims, their relatives, and witnesses, that after troops successfully repulsed the onslaught, local forces executed everyone suspected of taking part in or cooperating in the assault.

In a statement issued days after the incident, the state-affiliated independent rights group claimed that security personnel had previously executed civilians “door to door.”

According to the EHRC’s statement on Wednesday, “at least 50 people have been executed individually and in bulk extrajudicial killings by the region’s security forces from June 14 to June 16 with (victims) suspected of sheltering OLA members and carrying guns.”

According to the rights group, “the bodies of people who were slain by security personnel were gathered by the region’s special forces and regular police… and buried en masse,” denying access to the remains to the victims’ relatives.

There were victims who had mental illnesses, at least 25 others were hurt, and some of the inhabitants had been assaulted and tormented.

According to the rights group, OLA and GLF combatants murdered seven civilians, while six more perished in the gun battle between the rebels and military.

According to the EHRC, the local police commission informed the rights organisation that the remains that were lying on the streets had been gathered and interred.

The remains that the municipal government had buried were unclaimed, according to the regional police, who claimed that rebels had slain the people.

The Gambella area, which borders South Sudan, has previously been the target of invasions by armed militants from that nation.

The Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which has been at war with federal forces in northern Ethiopia since November 2020, and the OLA struck an alliance last year.

In Baghdad, Iraq, protesters and riot police fight.

On Wednesday, as the parliament met to discuss the resignation of its speaker, Iraqi demonstrators and riot police clashed in Baghdad.

Before some protestors and riot police began hurling stones at one another, security authorities had attempted to disperse the throng.
An unprecedented 11-month political crisis has been plaguing Iraq.

Despite winning the majority of votes in the legislative elections in October, influential Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has been unable to create a majority government.

In order to prevent their competitors from Iranian-backed Shia factions from establishing the government, his supporters stormed the parliament in late July.

The process of forming a government has stopped as a result of the protests that followed, skirmishes with security personnel, counter-rallies, and a sit-in outside of parliament.

Arab leaders welcome the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia on his appointment as prime minister.

Following King Salman’s appointment of Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as the country’s prime minister on Tuesday, Arab leaders praised him.

In a cable, the UAE Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, as well as the UAE President, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, congratulated the Crown Prince on his new position.

According to the Saudi Press Agency, Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa wished the Crown Prince ongoing success in his new position and emphasised his initiatives that benefit the Kingdom and its citizens (SPA).

The connection between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia was emphasised by King Hamad, who described it as a historic one that “binds the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and their leaderships and peoples in terms of brotherhood, intimate relationships, kinship and affection.”

The Crown Prince received a cable from Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani congratulating him on his new position as prime minister.

In the message, Sheikh Tamim congratulated the Crown Prince “more success” and expressed optimism for further growth and development in their bilateral ties.

The Crown Prince was also congratulated by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), which is led by Hissein Brahim Taha. Taha also commended Saudi Arabia for its support of the OIC in a statement posted on the group’s website.

According to a royal decree issued on Tuesday, King Salman appointed Prince Khalid bin Salman as the Kingdom’s defence minister and the Crown Prince as its prime minister.

Due to financial difficulties, India extends its free food programme by three months.

India has extended its free food programme for the needy by three months, adding $5.46 billion to government expenses and increasing the difficulty of attempts to reduce the budget deficit.

The majority of experts predict that India will fall short of its 6.4 percent of GDP fiscal deficit target for the year ending in March 2023 due to government initiatives to combat inflation that might cost more than $20 billion.

The initiative to provide people with 5 kg (11 lb) of foodgrains per month in India has cost over $43 billion since April 2020.

Anurag Thakur, the information minister, announced at a press conference that it will now be prolonged till December.

Along with restrictions on wheat and sugar exports, the government has limited the export of rice due to mounting concerns over grain supplies.

As government purchases from farmers more than half this year, wheat inventories at state-run institutions plummeted to 24.82 million tonnes by September 1 from 51.78 million a year earlier.

At the start of this month, there were 35.36 million tonnes of rice in stock, down from 38.73 million at the same time last year.

12.2 million tonnes of foodgrains are anticipated to be expended for the free food programme, according to the government.

Iran Revolutionary Guards target dissident locations in Iraq, with nine deaths confirmed.

The Revolutionary Guards of Iran claimed on Wednesday to have killed nine militants in the Kurdish area of neighbouring northern Iraq by firing missiles and drones at their targets.

After Iranian authorities accused armed Iranian Kurdish dissidents of participating in the turmoil now roiling Iran, particularly in the northwest where the majority of the nation’s roughly 10 million Kurds reside, the strikes were reported.

The strikes in Iraqi Kurdistan’s vicinity of Erbil and Sulaimaniya left 32 people injured and 9 dead, according to a statement from the region’s health minister, Saman Barazanchi.

According to a statement from Barazanchi, “several of the wounded are in serious condition, and the death toll might grow.”

Without going into detail regarding potential deaths, Iraqi Kurdish officials reported that drone attacks on Iranian Kurdish outposts on Wednesday morning in Iraqi Kurdistan hit at least 10 bases close to Sulaimaniya.

Several of their offices were also hit, a senior member of the opposition Komala party, which is made up of exiled Iranian Kurds, said Reuters.

According to Tariq Haidari, mayor of the Iraqi Kurdish city of Koye, 12 people were injured in addition to the two fatalities, one of which was a pregnant lady. According to him, some of the injured were sent in serious condition to a hospital in Erbil.

After the attacks, Iran’s top military and security organisation, the Revolutionary Guards, declared that they will keep going after what they referred to as terrorists in the area.

The Guards issued a statement that was read on state television that said, “This operation will continue with our full determination until the threat is effectively repelled, terrorist group bases are dismantled, and the authorities of the Kurdish region assume their obligations and responsibilities.”

Mahsa Amini’s death protests will be resisted by Iranian police with “all their effort,” they claim.

The protests that broke out over two weeks ago over the murder of a young lady in detention prompted the police command in Iran to issue a warning on Wednesday that the force would crack down severely.

Since nightly protests started when Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, died after being detained in Tehran for allegedly violating the Islamic Republic’s stringent laws about hijab headscarves and modest attire, dozens of people have been slain.

The police leadership issued a statement in which it stated that “today, the enemies of the Islamic Republic of Iran and certain rioters aim to disturb the order, security and comfort of the people under any excuse.”

According to the statement, which was reported by the Fars news agency, “Police officers will resist with all their might the schemes of counter-revolutionaries and unfriendly groups, and deal decisively with those who disrupt public order and security wherever in the country.”

Since Amini’s passing on September 16, “around 60” individuals have died, according to Fars News Agency, an increase from the official death toll of 41 officials recorded on Saturday.

Authorities said on Monday that they had detained more than 1,200 people, including journalists, attorneys, and activists.

Ishaq Dar

Ishaq Dar, Pakistan’s new finance minister, stated that he will attempt to control inflation while lowering interest rates on Wednesday. He also claimed that the currency was overvalued and promised a robust reaction to the country’s greatest economic crisis.
The chartered accountant is in his fourth year of employment and is dealing with a balance of payments crisis, foreign reserves that are barely enough to cover one month’s worth of imports, historic lows in the rupee, inflation that is over 27%, and the fallout from severe floods.

After being sworn in, Dar informed reporters in televised remarks, “We will manage inflation.”
He declared, “We will lower interest rates.” He made no mention of how he would lower rates while also calming price pressures.
The Pakistani rupee was undervalued, according to Dar, who also issued a caution to currency market speculators. Compared to the US dollar so far this year, it has lost more than 30% of its value.

Due to waning demand, Apple abandons plans to increase iPhone production.

After an anticipated jump in demand did not occur, Apple Inc. has decided against increasing manufacturing of its new iPhones this year, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the situation.
According to Bloomberg, the company instructed suppliers to scale back plans to raise production of its flagship iPhone 14 product line by as many as 6 million devices in the second half of this year.

Instead, the business with its headquarters in Cupertino, California, plans to make 90 million devices for the time period, which is roughly the same as a year ago and in accordance with Apple’s first prediction this summer, according to the source.
A request for comment from Reuters was not immediately answered by Apple.
According to Bloomberg, there is a greater demand for the more expensive iPhone 14 Pro models than for the entry-level devices, and at least one Apple supplier is switching production capacity from less expensive iPhones to premium models.

As the tech giant shifts some of its production away from China, Apple had announced this week that it would begin producing the iPhone 14, which was introduced earlier this month, in India.

Oil prices remain constant due to a rising currency and US production disruptions.

Oil prices remained largely unchanged on Wednesday as US production restrictions brought on by Hurricane Ian overcame pressure from a strengthening currency and increases in oil storage.
By 0937 GMT, US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were down 9 cents, or 0.1%, at $78.41 per barrel, while Bent crude prices were up 5 cents, or 0.6%, at $86.32 per barrel. Both contracts reversed prior losses after increasing by more than 2% the previous session.
According to offshore regulator the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, Hurricane Ian caused the shut-in of 11% of the Gulf of Mexico’s total oil production, or around 190,000 barrels per day (BSEE).

But on Wednesday, the dollar reached a new two-decade high versus a basket of currencies as rising global interest rates fueled worries of a recession. By making oil more expensive for customers using other currencies, a strong dollar lowers demand for it.

According to the sources, distillate stocks increased by roughly 438,000 barrels. The report is released before the official Energy Information Administration data release scheduled for 14:30 GMT.
Due to anticipated weaker demand and a higher US dollar, Goldman Sachs lowered its oil price projection for 2023 on Tuesday. However, it added that global supply shortfalls only strengthened its long-term bullish outlook.
The producer group OPEC+ meeting on October 5 will act as a price catalyst, at which Russia is likely to propose a production cut of about 1 million barrels per day, according to a person familiar with the Russian perspective on Tuesday.

An upcoming to market sources on Tuesday, who cited data from trade association the American Petroleum Institute, US crude oil stocks increased by roughly 4.2 million barrels for the week ending September 23, while gasoline inventories decreased by about 1 million barrels.

As unrest grows, Iran’s president will address the nation

image 183

In the midst of a wave of anti-government unrest in Iran following the death of a young woman in police custody, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi planned to make a television address to the nation on Wednesday.Social media videos showed Iranians continuing with protests, frequently calling for the over four decades of rule by the clerical establishment, despite an increasing death toll and crackdown by security forces.

A senior Iranian official told Reuters that a collapse of the Islamic Republic still seems unlikely in the near future because its leaders are determined not to display weakness because they believe doing so would have sealed the demise of the US-backed Shah in 1979.

Pak versus Eng: Wood shines as Pakistan is dismissed for 145 in the fifth T20I

LAHORE: Mark Wood, an English fast bowler, helped the visitors bowl out Pakistan for a disappointing 145 in the fifth T20 international on Wednesday.At Gaddafi Stadium, Wood, who had only played in two international matches since having elbow surgery, took 3-20 after the host team was given the chance to bat.

As Pakistan was dismissed in 19 overs, Wood’s fellow pacers Sam Curran (2-23) and David Willey (2-23) also bowled aggressively.As Pakistan lost six wickets off 48 balls for just 58 runs during a middle-order collapse from 42-1, opener Mohammad Rizwan clung on with a resolute 46-ball 63.

Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, was removed by Wood in the third over for nine runs, and David Willey then removed Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed to put an end to Pakistan.Pakistan is in peril at 100-7 after Mohammad Nawaz, for a duck, and Shadab Khan were eliminated by careless runouts.

Watch as a NASA spacecraft crashes into an asteroid during the first test of planetary defence

image 182

Ten months after DART’s launch, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) webcast from the mission operations centre outside of Washington, DC, depicted humanity’s first attempt to change the motion of an asteroid or any celestial body.

In the first test of a planetary defence system meant to stop an apocalyptic meteorite collision with Earth, NASA’s DART spacecraft successfully slammed into a faraway asteroid at supersonic speed on Monday.

The asteroid Dimorphos is about the size of a football stadium. It was 6.8 million miles (11 million km) from Earth when the cube-shaped “impactor” vehicle, barely bigger than a vending machine with two rectangular solar arrays, streaked into it at 7:14 pm EDT (2314 GMT).

INDIA STOCKS On worries of a worldwide recession, Indian stocks close at a two-month low.

1584003177

BENGALURU, Sept 28 (Reuters) equities ended around two-month lows with losses reported by banks, energy, and metal industries as concerns about a global recession dampened risk sentiment.
The S&P BSE Sensex (.BSESN) closed down 0.9% at 56,598.28, while the NSE Nifty 50 index (.NSEI) down 0.9% to 16,858.60. Both indices have seen their longest losing streak since mid-June after falling for a sixth straight session.
Worries that the world would enter a recession were heightened by rising borrowing prices and a deteriorating energy crisis, which sent global markets down to two-year lows on Wednesday.

According to Siddhartha Khemka, head of retail research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services, the investment barrier for stocks has increased due to rising interest rates and bond yields.
Meanwhile, he claimed, pressure was being increased by the threat of a recession brought on by “extremely high” interest rates.
According to preliminary statistics made public by the National Stock Exchange, foreign institutional investors sold a net 28.24 billion Indian rupees ($345.63 million) worth of Indian stocks on Tuesday, while local investors bought 35.05 billion rupees worth of shares.

According to Joseph Thomas, head of research at Emkay Wealth Management, “Overseas investors would not be interested in coming back to the markets at this point in time unless the currency stabilises.”
“Over the next 2-3 quarters, we need to see the trajectory of U.S. interest rates from the current aggressive approach reduce. We also need to know the direction of the Indian monetary policy and some degree of currency stability.”

finance stock market exchange india 260nw 1526696969

So far this year, the Nifty and Sensex are down approximately 3%.
Investors are waiting for the Reserve Bank of India’s monetary policy announcement on Friday.
Markets will take defensive positions before the result of the RBI policy, Khemka continued.
The bank index (.NSEBANK) fell 1.6%, the energy index (.NIFTYENR) dropped 1.6%, and the metals index (.NIFTYMET) fell 1.9%.
The Nifty 50 index’s top gainer was Asian Paints (ASPN.NS), up 2.9%, while the top loser was Hindalco (HALC.NS), down 3.4%.

King Charles feared leaving the Queen alone with Meghan Markle, who was “sweet-talking.”

King Charles III did not want Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to use their affectionate displays to sway Queen Elizabeth II.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were asked to meet with Charles before Her Majesty when they paid a surprise visit to Windsor Castle earlier this April, two years after leaving their roles as senior royals.

In her book The New Royals, author Katie Nicholl writes: “Charles insisted on meeting Harry and Meghan prior to their session with the Queen.

One insider said that he wanted to ensure that Harry would be able to charm her in the same manner that [Prince] Andrew did and persuade her to agree to anything without Charles’s approval.

Harry claimed he wanted to clear the air and entered with hugs and the best of intentions, according to a family acquaintance. He even proposed that they try to resolve their differences through mediation, which left Camilla coughing into her tea and Charles perplexed. The author said, “She told Harry it was ludicrous and they were a family and would figure it out between themselves.

Due to claims of cheating, the Duchess of Sussex allegedly forbade Prince Harry from attending polo tournaments by himself, the International Business Times claimed earlier this month, citing a source. After pictures of Prince Harry and a blonde mystery female during a polo event went viral on social media, Meghan is said to have been concerned.

On the other hand, Meghan Markle’s husband returned to the saddle on Thursday, participating in a charity polo tournament in Carbondale, Colorado.

The Duke of Sussex, wearing the team colours of light blue and white, galloped over the polo field in front of the distinctive Rockies backdrop.

In the past, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been charged with “playing with Netflix’s future” as their “desperation appears to be creeping in.”

The devaluation of the British pound and its effects on cryptocurrencies

Gains of 5% in Bitcoin to regain $20K and look toward first “green” September since 2016.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) price targets higher in a traditional sideways trading action snap, but fears about what comes next persist. BTC/USD gained almost 7% following the close on September 26 according to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView. On Bitstamp, local highs of $20,344 were seen before the pair started consolidating at about $20,200. Will the bulls be able to defeat “Septembear” and will Bitcoin be able to conclude the month in the green?

Is now the time for Bitcoin to shine? British pound hits a record low versus the dollar.

Following the announcement of tax cuts and additional debt hikes to lessen the effects of a potential economic recession, the British pound hit a record low versus the US dollar. But may the falling value of the pound sterling be good for Bitcoin? Can the general public switch to cryptocurrencies if they notice that their savings and assets are being aggressively devalued?

Co-founder of Ethereum and Cardano Charles Hoskinson engaged in a verbal brawl with Ethereum developers over the Ethereum Merge’s implementation of the proof-of-stake consensus. The animosity between the two communities is nothing new, and Hoskinson is renowned for his sharp criticism of his old enterprise. But given that both blockchains are currently undergoing significant network improvements, the recent communication between the two parties emphasises the division between blockchain communities.

According to Page Six, a palace insider told Low, “There were a lot of broken people.” “Young women’s actions broke them.” In one instance, as detailed by Low, Markle attacked a young employee in front of her coworkers.

Don’t worry, the duchess allegedly said to the woman. I would ask someone else to complete this task in place of you if there was actually anyone else I could ask. Markle frequently verbally insulted royal staff members, and it seems that she became so enraged that she made them afraid. Another employee admitted to Low that their time spent working with Markle and Harry “absolutely wrecked” them. One Friday night while out to dinner, the royal assistant said the couple called repeatedly only to yell at them. “She and Harry would yell at me to go outdoors every ten minutes.

The former palace employee claimed that the calls went on “for days” and that “you could not avoid them.” I can’t believe you did this, he said. I feel let down by you. They asked, “What were you thinking? ” “It continued for a few hours.”
The former palace employee claimed that the calls went on “for days” and that “you could not avoid them.”

The Duchess of Sussex was described as a “narcissistic sociopath” by palace personnel:
No one was safe from Harry and Meghan’s harassment, according to The New York Post, and the staff began referring to her as a “narcissistic sociopath.”
“Everyone understood that her satisfaction would be used to evaluate the institution. They erred by assuming she want happiness, a former employee writes in the Courtiers also tells the tale of Jason Knauf, the palace press secretary, who supposedly complained in an email to Simon Case, Prince William’s personal secretary, in 2018 about “quite severe difficulties” with Meghan Markle’s conduct. book. She wanted to be rejected because she had been fixated on that story since the beginning.

The fact that the duchess was able to force two PAs out of the family in the previous year worries me a lot. The email purportedly stated, “The duchess appears determined to always have someone in her sights.
Then, Meghan allegedly said, “It’s not my job to coddle people,” in response to Harry and Markle being urged to treat staff members with more respect.

Working for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is comparable to working for two teenagers:
During their travel to Australia for their South Pacific tour in 2018, Harry and Meghan yelled at their personal assistant Samantha Cohen both before and during the flight. Cohen was allegedly “constantly fighting on Harry and Meghan’s behalf while receiving all this abuse from them,” according to the book.
Sam was quite clear about the fact that it was similar to working for a couple of teens. They strained her to the breaking point and were impossible. According to a friend of Cohen’s, she was miserable.

Meghan was also dissatisfied with the fact that she was not compensated for attending royal excursions. The duchess “failed to comprehend the point” of going on walkabouts and shaking hands with numerous strangers, despite the fact that she “enjoyed the attention” and did so.
According to Low, Meghan continued to treat palace staff poorly before she and Harry left the royal family, notably their PR and communications team.

Numerous weddings, parties, fashion displays, festivals, etc. have taken place there. The task of transforming this gorgeously kitschy location choice of Richa and Ali into a lively wedding party location has now been taken on by the couple’s wedding planners. According to the couples’ requests, the area will be transformed into a pretty opulent immersive place with design that reflects their off-screen personas.

The cast of the spy thriller series Tehran is also on the guest list, along with other notable Hollywood production figures whom Ali has invited. Regarding the occasion, the stars have made the decision to disregard the “no phone policy” at their wedding events. They do this because they want the events to have a joyful atmosphere and they want their attendees to feel as comfortable as possible. Additionally, the invitation read, “Leave your phones at home and have fun. Don’t stress about getting a photo of this occasion. capture it instantly.” The performers really believe that when there are no constraints placed on them, people can feel more at ease.They want attendees to use their phones while still having fun.
