The climate crisis is outrunning the world’s response. At COP31 in Antalya, UN chief António Guterres warned that global emissions must fall by about 6% a year—yet current national plans deliver barely a third of what is needed.
The US has stayed away for a second consecutive year. China and India have sent representatives below head-of-government level, while the fossil-fuel phase-out remains off the agenda. Developing countries are also demanding far more money to adapt to climate impacts.

DR Congo Sentences 66 Soldiers to Death for Cowardice Amid Rebel Conflict.
The Democratic Republic of Congo has sentenced 66 soldiers to death for cowardice, mutiny and abandoning their positions during clashes with rebel groups in the country's east.
The verdicts come amid ongoing fighting involving the M23-led rebel alliance, which Kinshasa accuses Rwanda of backing. The soldiers' death sentences have also raised concerns over military justice and fair-trial standards, with Amnesty International questioning the use of capital punishment.
Who are the rebels, what is driving the conflict, and why are Congolese soldiers facing the death penalty?

Israel's Gadi Eisenkot Pushes for October 7 Inquiry, Challenges Netanyahu's Policies.
Israel's newly sworn-in parliament faces a major political test as opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot pushes for an independent investigation into the October 7 Hamas attacks and seeks to reverse Benjamin Netanyahu's controversial judicial reforms.
With growing demands for accountability over the October 7 security failures and a divided 120-member Knesset, Eisenkot faces a tough battle to form a governing coalition.
President Isaac Herzog has given him until December 6 to secure enough support. Can Eisenkot build a government and deliver the political changes he is promising?

COP31 is underway in Antalya, Türkiye, as world leaders gather for crucial UN climate talks at a time when global emissions remain high and the world risks exceeding the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C warming limit.
From climate finance and adaptation to electrification and the transition away from fossil fuels, negotiators face growing pressure to turn years of climate promises into concrete action. The United States is absent for the second consecutive year.
The question facing COP31 is clear: can the world move faster from commitments to implementation before climate impacts become even harder to manage?

Peace talks have returned to Abu Dhabi, but the battlefield has not gone quiet. Russia launched 162 drones and a ballistic missile at Ukraine overnight as US, Russian and Ukrainian officials began two days of negotiations.
Territory, security guarantees and Europe’s role remain major obstacles. No breakthrough is expected.

Iran War Unexpectedly Set to Drive Down Global Emissions in 2026.
A war-driven oil shock is producing an unexpected consequence: global fossil-fuel and cement emissions are projected to fall by 0.4 per cent in 2026, reversing a decade-long upward trend.
The Global Carbon Budget report, launched at COP31, links much of the decline to disrupted oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, soaring fuel prices and reduced consumption. But the trend is uneven: emissions are projected to fall in China, the US and EU, while India’s are expected to rise by 4.4 per cent.
Despite the decline, total global CO2 emissions could hit a record 43.3 billion tonnes. Scientists warn that an emissions drop driven by war and energy shortages is no climate victory.

Air India’s new leadership faces a major challenge: turning one of India’s biggest airlines into a profitable global carrier.
The airline is betting on international expansion, new wide-body aircraft and stronger aviation hubs as it seeks to compete on the global stage.
But heavy losses, rising costs, aircraft delays and fierce competition mean the turnaround will be far from easy. Singapore Airlines, which holds a 25.1% stake, is also watching closely.

Nvidia Faces $190 Billion Fallout as Jensen Huang Faces Shareholder Lawsuit
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is facing a proposed shareholder class-action lawsuit after admitting to infidelity amid affair allegations linking him to a woman suspected by US authorities of spying for China.
The lawsuit accuses Huang and Nvidia of misleading investors by concealing potential national security risks. Nvidia’s board has launched an independent investigation, while three Republican congressional committee chairmen have requested a closed-door briefing with Huang on 18 November.
With Nvidia shares falling 4.3 per cent and around $190 billion wiped from its market value, the controversy is raising wider questions about AI chip security, US-China tensions and the global technology race.

What if a cyberattack could turn supermarket refrigerators into ovens? France has accused Iran of orchestrating cyberattacks targeting refrigeration systems across Europe.
The alleged attacks disrupted hundreds of food distribution sites in France, causing food losses, equipment damage and fires. French authorities have linked the operation to an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps-linked cyber unit.
The accusations come amid growing concerns over cyberwarfare and the vulnerability of everyday infrastructure, from supermarkets to critical medical facilities.

Republican Moves to Impeach Pete Hegseth Over Iran War
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth is facing eight articles of impeachment introduced by Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, accusing him of abusing his powers and conducting military operations without congressional authorisation.
The allegations extend beyond the Iran war to civilian casualties, US strikes on suspected drug traffickers and operations in Yemen and Venezuela. With Democrats backing the move, the House faces a crucial decision by 11 November.
Even if the articles pass, removing Hegseth would require a two-thirds majority in the Senate.

Trump says the Iran war is “effectively over” — but there is no ceasefire, no peace deal and no end to the US naval blockade.
After the midterm rout, he signals a pause in major attacks while keeping US forces ready. Tehran calls his account “fake news” and insists Washington accept its seven conditions.

Donald Trump says the Iran war is “militarily effectively over” following a meeting with Qatar’s prime minister, signalling a possible shift towards de-escalation.
The remarks come amid speculation about renewed US strikes on Iran and growing pressure over whether Washington should escalate militarily or pursue a diplomatic settlement.
But with the US blockade still in place and tensions continuing across the region, a lasting end to the conflict remains uncertain.

200,000 Protesters Demand Stronger European Action on Gaza.
More than 200,000 people took to Amsterdam’s streets on 8 November for the fourth Red Line demonstration, demanding tougher European action against Israel over Gaza. Organised with the backing of 13 groups, the protest called for trade sanctions, an end to arms sales and military cooperation, and recognition of genocide in Gaza.
While several European countries have recognised Palestine and the EU has sanctioned extremist settlers, demonstrators say these measures fall short. They want European governments to turn political condemnation into concrete action.

Six dead, 16 wounded. A gunman turned Kraków’s historic Main Market Square into a killing ground. Police later found his parents and sister dead at the family home.
PM Donald Tusk called it terrorism. Was far-right radicalisation involved? Investigators are still probing the motive as Poland confronts a wider crisis of extremism.
