Russia hopes US poll shake-up won't shift Trump's negotiations on Ukraine  
The Republicans' defeat in the US midterm elections was watched closely in Russia, where some observers are predicting it could herald more support for Ukraine when the Democrats take over Congress in January. But if the Kremlin is hearing the ticking of a clock on its nearly 5-year-old full-scale invasion of its neighbour, it seemingly remains unperturbed. Asked if the election's outcome could stymie US attempts to help negotiate a settlement between Moscow and Kyiv, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov voiced hope that US President Donald Trump will continue to pursue his peace efforts. "There is groundwork already in place, and another round of trilateral negotiations is set to take place very soon," Peskov said of talks planned for Tuesday and Wednesday involving Russian, Ukrainian and US representatives in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. He also praised the "successful humanitarian peace-building efforts" by first lady Melania Trump, adding that "we hope that all of this will .

IOC to buy crude, LPG ships as West Asia crisis exposes shipping risks  
State-owned Indian Oil Corporation plans to acquire crude oil and liquefied petroleum gas carriers of its own as disruptions to shipping around the Strait of Hormuz and soaring freight costs prompt India's largest oil refiner to strengthen control over its energy supply chain. The company's board has already approved the purchase of a few vessels, and tenders were issued several months ago, Director of Finance Anuj Jain said during its second-quarter earnings call. "The country needs oil sector companies to focus more on the shipping area now," Jain said, adding that IOC was also exploring the possibility of building ships in India under the government's Make in India initiative. The move marks a potential shift in the company's shipping strategy, which has traditionally relied on a mix of time-charter and voyage-chartered vessels.

Strong earthquake with magnitude of 5.7 strikes central Japan, 22 injured  
A strong earthquake shook central Japan early Sunday, shattering store windows, causing people to flee buildings and leaving at least 22 people injured, according to local media. Japan's Meteorological Agency put the quake's magnitude at 5.7, while the US Geological Survey reported it at magnitude 5.5. Smaller aftershocks were reported. A wide area near Aichi Prefecture was affected, including the city of Hamamatsu, the ancient capitals of Kyoto and Nara and nearby prefectures of Yamanashi, where Mount Fuji is located, as well as Gifu.

"Those who had neglected and insulted (Ayodhya), who opened fire on Ram devotees and subjected saints to lathicharge, should certainly come to Ayodhya, but only after apologising.

Airstrikes kill more than 2 dozen people near Yemen's capital, Houthis say  
Airstrikes hit homes in a village near Yemen's capital, Sanaa, on Saturday, killing at least 27 people and wounding 36 others, mostly women and children, a spokesman for Yemen's Houthi-run Health Ministry said. Speaking to The Associated Press, Anees al-Asbahi said the death toll is expected to rise as search and rescue efforts continue and accused Saudi Arabia of carrying out the strikes on al-Shariya. Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree, the Houthi military spokesperson, claimed in a statement later Saturday that the group had carried out attacks against Saudi Arabia in response to the strikes on the village as well as another deadly attack Friday on a market in southwestern Yemen. The AP could not independently verify the Houthis' claims, and Saudi Arabia's Information Ministry did not immediately reply to AP requests for comment. Saturday's toll reflected the rapid worsening of Yemen's civil war, where a yearslong truce fell apart over the summer. Fighting has escalated between the ...

A massive rush of people heading home for Diwali led to severe overcrowding at Gurugram's railway and metro stations on Saturday, with packed trains, long queues at bus terminals and many passengers turning to informal transport to reach their destinations. Trains bound for Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Bengal were so overcrowded that there was no standing room available, according to an official. Passengers faced significant challenges boarding the general compartments, with many even squeezing into sleeper coaches. In their desperation to get home, some passengers resorted to travelling while hanging onto the carriage doors.

D2C brands see 27% more orders ahead of Diwali; sales value up 45%: Report  
Direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands in India shipped 27 per cent more orders a day in the run-up to Diwali this year than in the same period last year, while the value of goods sold jumped about 45 per cent, according to a report. ClickPost, an AI logistics automation and post-purchase platform for D2C and retail, analysed more than 8 crore orders placed on the websites of nearly 400 D2C brands. It compared the festive shopping windows of September 20 to November 5 this year and September 1 to October 17 last year. According to ClickPost's report, gross merchandise value (GMV), the total value of goods sold, grew about 1.7 times faster than the number of orders. The report said this was because shoppers bought higher-priced products despite rising retail prices, rather than looking for cheaper alternatives. Spending was concentrated in high-value categories such as luxury fashion, skincare, wellness and jewellery, it said. Despite the higher volumes, deliveries became more reliable. .

Penguin was 'uneasy' with criticism of govt in my memoir: Sonia Gandhi  
Breaking her silence on the censorship row involving her upcoming memoir, Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi has said that publisher Penguin Random House India was "uneasy" with criticism of the government. While she was disappointed that the publisher did not go ahead with the book, she was not surprised. Penguin Random House India (PRHI) was initially keen to publish the memoir, "Belonging: A Journey of Love", but subsequently said it would not be the Indian publisher. In an interview with The Guardian ahead of the release of the book on November 10, Gandhi said Penguin was "uneasy in general with the criticism of the government". Gandhi admitted she was disappointed, though not altogether surprised, by Penguin India's decision not to publish the book. She saw it as an attempt to censor her book, The Guardian reported.

From strategic eastern airbase, Rajnath urges highest military readiness  
India's armed forces must maintain the highest level of operational readiness to effectively counter any threats to national security, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Saturday, delivering his message from a key airbase near the frontier with China in the Eastern sector. Addressing air warriors at the Bagdogra Air Force station, Singh, without naming any country, said the adversary avoids direct confrontation but seeks to exploit certain "vulnerabilities", emphasising that the security landscape has become increasingly complex. "Often, the adversary avoids direct confrontation and instead seeks to exploit our vulnerabilities. Through social media, the adversary may attempt to sow doubt in the minds of the local population and our soldiers by spreading misleading information," he said. "In such a scenario, your role extends beyond that of an ordinary soldier," he said. Singh called upon the military to "maintain the highest level of operational readiness", with special focus o

Emergency a mistake, Indira later regretted decision: Sonia Gandhi  
Weighing in on the Emergency, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi has called the decision to impose it a mistake and said that she believes that her mother-in-law and then prime minister Indira Gandhi also came to feel the same. The Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson in her upcoming book "Belonging: A Journey of Love" also writes that keeping Sanjay Gandhi "in check" could have prevented much of the damage that followed the imposition of the Emergency, according to The Guardian. In an interview with the British daily ahead of the launch of her memoir, Sonia Gandhi said, "I always feel that Mrs (Indira) Gandhi was a democrat at heart." "I know that many would laugh at this, but I believe she was never comfortable in the course of the emergency. I think it was sitting heavy on her," she added. Sonia Gandhi, who also holds the distinction of being the longest serving president of the Congress, was quoted by the British daily as saying that it was a mistake for Indira Gandhi to call the

Rahul questions E20 petrol ethanol levels, cites Karnataka test results  
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday attacked the Modi government over the rollout of E20 petrol, citing test results of samples collected by the Karnataka government, and asked the Centre to come clean on the actual ethanol content in fuel being sold across the country.

"The Karnataka government collected petrol samples from 7 districts and had them tested at an accredited lab.

Polling places closed on Saturday after the final day of voting in New Zealand's election following a tense campaign that left the main contenders neck and neck with no clear route to victory for either. An incumbent conservative government led by the National party is seeking a second term against a leftwing bloc led by Labour.

Voting began on October 26 and ended on Saturday at 7 pm. New Zealand's Electoral Commission aimed to release a count of 5 per cent of the vote within 30 minutes of polls closing.

Compulsory retirement is not punitive, does not imply misconduct: SC  
The Supreme Court has held that an order of compulsory retirement is neither punitive nor stigmatic in character and does not cast any aspersion on the conduct of an employee, nor does it imply any finding of misconduct. A bench of Justices Manmohan and Shree Chandrashekhar, which upheld the Chhattisgarh government's order of compulsory retirement to five of its 14 employees, said it was based on subjective satisfaction of the competent authority that the employee's continued retention in service is no longer conducive to public interest. "...an order of compulsory retirement is neither punitive nor stigmatic in character. Such an order does not cast any aspersion upon the conduct of the employee nor does it imply any finding of misconduct," it said.

Freedom of expression cannot justify demeaning women on OTT: NCW chief  
Taking strong objection to sexist content aired through streaming services, NCW chief Vijaya Rahatkar has said that the freedom of expression cannot be an excuse to demean women and their dignity and respect must be upheld at all costs on OTT and other entertainment platforms.

"Anyone who wants to express an opinion or communicate something must always keep women's dignity and respect in mind. If that does not happen, it is wrong. Such behaviour should not be allowed on any platform," she said.

South Africa mourns Indian-origin TV pioneer Ramprakash Gopidayal  
Tributes poured in for South African Indian-origin media personality Ramprakash Gopidayal, who pioneered television programmes and radio recordings for the local Indian community, as he was cremated on Friday after succumbing to illness a day before. Popularly known as Ramu, Gopidayal, despite being an introverted, camera-shy man, started the first television programme for the Indian community, 'Impressions', on national state broadcaster South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), in the apartheid era. He first joined the SABC as its first Indian-origin technician in 1980. With apartheid waning, the SABC started 'Impressions', a weekly magazine programme on TV for the Indian community, in 1986. It fell upon Gopidayal to take on the task of starting an unprecedented programme from scratch. As executive producer of the programme, Gopidayal made it hugely successful, providing opportunities for young Indian-origin women to become TV stars and household names for the first time in

Man with gun arrested near White House over alleged plot to kill Trump  
The US Secret Service said a suspect has been taken into custody and charged after officers found him in a vehicle near the White House with multiple guns, claiming he heard voices in his head telling him to kill President Donald Trump. The arrest Thursday night happened after Secret Service officers approached a man "acting suspicious" in a parked car, according to a Homeland Security statement. US officials say the suspect, Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos, then went on to describe voices in his head that were telling him to come to the nation's capital and kill the Republican president. Shortly after, officers discovered the suspect's vehicle had been reported stolen and he had three different firearms and dozens of rounds of ammunition. This is the latest in a series of arrests the Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies have made against individuals who have threatened Trump or his family members' lives since he returned to office last year. The statement described Chr

Trump, Qatar's emir discuss West Asia de-escalation; 30 killed in Yemen  
US President Donald Trump has discussed efforts to de-escalate tensions in West Asia in a telephone call with Qatar's emir, the latter's office said Friday, as the region remained on edge over possibility of renewed US military action against Iran. In another development, airstrikes at a popular market in a city in neighbouring Yemen killed at least 30 people Friday, the health ministry run by the country's Houthi rebels said. Trump discusses de-escalation efforts with Qatar's emir ----------------------------------------------------------------- The telephone call between Trump and Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani centred on international efforts to end tensions, according to a statement from the Qatari ruler's media office. The two, in particular, discussed Qatar's mediation efforts aimed at reaching "a comprehensive agreement that ends the crisis and achieves security and stability in the region."

China says discussions underway on Xi, Trump and Putin trilateral meeting  
Beijing has confirmed for the first time that it is discussing a meeting between Chinese leader Xi Jinping, US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Mao Ning, a spokesperson for the Chinese foreign ministry, said at a press briefing this week in Beijing that China "is in communication with relevant parties regarding a meeting between the three heads of state." Nothing is set, but the three-leader gathering would take place this month on the sidelines of a regional summit in Shenzhen. If it happens, it would be historic. Experts, however, say the three leaders are unlikely to discuss anything substantive because their interests are at odds, but they would gather for a photo, with China carefully choreographing the meeting. "I think it will happen. The question is the format and the content," said Sun Yun, director of the China programme at the Stimson Center. "China wants the image but not the costs." Beijing is the host of this year's leaders summit of the ..

Iran reviewing Qatar's proposals on nuclear deal with US amid war  
Iran is reviewing proposals presented by chief mediator Qatar aimed at addressing differences with the United States about Tehran's nuclear programme, government officials from both West Asian countries said Friday. The development is raising hopes that the two sides could be inching toward indirect talks on one of the thorniest issues that US President Donald Trump says must be resolved as part of any deal meant to end the more than eight-month-old war. But one of the officials stressed that Iran, at least at the moment, is unwilling to engage in negotiations with the Trump administration over its atomic activities until the US agrees to several core conditions that Iran has been demanding be part of any ceasefire agreement. Both officials were not authorised to comment publicly on the delicate negotiations and spoke on the condition of anonymity. Iran and Qatari officials' stepped-up engagement -- and Tehran showing a glint of openness to the possibility of negotiating on its ...

US carries out fresh targeted strikes on Iran's air defences: Trump  
President Donald Trump said the US military on Friday carried out fresh limited strikes on Iran, targeting its air defense systems. Iranian state media reported the sound of two explosions in the Suza area of Qeshm Island, which is in the crucial waterway for oil shipments. Trump in an exchange with reporters described the military action as "minor". "They knocked out -- they built a little bit of an anti-aircraft device and we knocked it out in about 15 minutes, maybe five," Trump told reporters shortly after arriving in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday evening. The US military also reported carrying out what it described as defensive strikes on Monday. Explosions were heard on the islands of Qeshm and Hengam in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, and in the nearby mainland area of Bandar Abbas. Friday's strikes are the first since Trump's Republican Party was dealt a stunning repudiation in Tuesday's midterm elections in the US. The electoral setback was stoked in part by voter

Govt working on telecom PLI with focus on higher local value addition  
The Ministry of Communications is working on a proposal to roll out a second edition of the telecom production-linked incentive scheme, focusing on design-led higher value addition, an official source said on Friday. According to the source, the proposal will be sent for inter-ministerial consultation before being submitted for Union Cabinet approval. "Telecom PLI is a work in progress. It has to go for inter-ministerial consultation," the source said. The government had rolled out the first edition of the telecom PLI scheme with an outlay of Rs 12,195 crore. The scheme ended in March 2026. As many as 42 companies, including 28 MSMEs, received approvals under the PLI scheme for telecom and networking products. Of the total, 17 companies have applied for an additional incentive of 1 per cent under design-led manufacturing criteria. The first edition of telecom PLI scheme had attracted investment of Rs 6,073 crore against the target of Rs 4,115 crore. The source said that the telec
