*) PM Truss resigns as UK political turmoil deepens amid new election demand

British Prime Minister Liz Truss has dramatically announced her resignation just
six weeks after taking office.

Truss bowed to the inevitable after her right-wing platform of tax cuts
disintegrated and many MPs among the ruling Conservatives revolted.

Speaking in Downing Street, Truss said she would stay on as prime minister until
a successor is chosen to serve as Tory leader.

*) Israeli troops kill Palestinian youth, wound three in West Bank

Israeli troops have killed a Palestinian youth and wounded three others in the
occupied West Bank, Palestine's Health Ministry said.

The ministry said the 19-year-old suffered a mortal wound in the neck, while
three others were wounded by live gunshots to their limbs.

The violence happened as Israeli forces staged an arrest raid in Jenin refugee
camp in the northern West Bank that has been a flash point in recent fighting.


*) Bloodbath as Chad forces kill scores in protests

Security forces in Chad opened fire on anti-government demonstrators in the
country's two largest cities killing at least 60 people and wounding some 300,
government spokesperson said.

Prime Minister Saleh Kebzabo said the government was still compiling casualties
from what he described as an armed insurrection.

Authorities imposed a curfew after the violence, which came amid demonstrations
in the central African nation against interim leader Mahamat Idriss Deby's
extension of his power.


*) Türkiye's Erdogan, Azerbaijan's Aliyev inaugurate Zangilan airport

Türkiye's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham
Aliyev jointly inaugurated a new airport in an area liberated from the Armenian
occupation.

Erdogan is the first foreign leader to land at the Zangilan International
Airport, Azerbaijan’s second airport in territories reclaimed from Armenia
during the 2020 Karabakh War.

In October 2021, Erdogan joined Aliyev in the official opening of the Fuzuli
International Airport.

And finally…

*) Yusuf Islam electrifies fans in his first Türkiye concert

British musician Yusuf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens, performed before a

The concert was part of the Beyoglu Cultural Road Festival organised by the

The artist, who left his mark on the 1960s and 1970s with his albums and chose
to become a Muslim in 1977, met with music lovers.

    over six weeks after she entered Downing Street.

    instability.
    
    The polls come earlier than the September 2023 deadline and during the

    The new tranche of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve will be

    Islamabad expresses solidarity with the leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi
    Arabia.

    foreign ministers of the Council of Turkic States.
    
    *) UK's Truss apologises for economic mistakes, will 'stick around'

    Truss told the BBC she accepts responsibility and that she is sorry for the
    mistakes that have been made.
    
    She added that she wanted to act to help people with their energy bills to
    deal with the issue of high taxes, but her administration “went too far and
    too fast.”
    
    *) Australia walks back recognition of West Jerusalem as Israeli capital —
    FM

    solution in which Israel and a future Palestinian state coexist in peace and
    security.

    straight year following another standout season with Barcelona.

    several explosions were heard in the central Shevchenko district of the
    capital.
    
    Ukrainian president's chief of staff Andriy Yermak said the Russians think
    it will help them, but it shows their desperation.
    
    The explosions come exactly a week after Russian missile strikes on the
    Ukrainian capital.
    
    *) Rebels in Ethiopia's Tigray announces they will abide ceasefire
    
    Insurgents in Ethiopia's rebel-held Tigray region have announced that they

    International concern is growing around the fate of Shire, a city of 100,000
    people in northwest Tigray, where Ethiopian and Eritrean troops have
    launched a joint offensive.
    
    The UN chief joined the United States and other Western powers in voicing
    alarm over the worsening violence and called for a peaceful settlement to
    the conflict.
    
    *) UK parliamentarians readying to force Liz Truss to resign — report
    
    British lawmakers will try to oust Prime Minister Liz Truss this week
    despite Downing Street's warning that it could trigger a general election,

    More than 100 members of parliament belonging to the governing Conservative
    Party are ready to submit letters of no confidence in Truss to the head of
    the Conservative Party's committee.
    
    Britain has lost three prime ministers since it voted to leave the European
    Union in 2016.
    
    *) Floods in Nigeria claim over 600 lives — government
    
    More than 600 people are now known to have perished in the worst floods in a
    decade in Nigeria.
    
    Nigeria's ministry of humanitarian affairs said that the disaster has also
    forced more than 1.3 million from their homes.
    
    The flooding also completely destroyed more than 82,000 houses and nearly
    110,000 hectares of farmland.
    
    *) Mbappe rules out reports suggesting 'asked to leave' PSG
    
    Kylian Mbappe has insisted that he "never asked to leave" Paris
    Saint-Germain despite widespread reports that he would seek a move away from
    the club as soon as possible.
    
    The 23-year-old France superstar was speaking in the wake of PSG's 1-0 win
    over Marseille, in which he set up Neymar for the only goal as his side
    moved three points clear at the top of Ligue 1.
    
    Mbappe said, "I am very happy. I have never asked to leave in January,"
    insisting that he was not "implicated directly or indirectly" in the rumours
    about his future.

    Palestinian factions have signed an agreement in Algiers aimed at resolving
    15 years of discord by holding elections within a year after months of talks
    mediated by Algeria.
    
    The deal aims to end a rift between President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement
    and Hamas that has split Palestinian governance in besieged Gaza from the
    occupied West Bank.
    
    It also stipulates elections for the Palestinian National Council, a
    parliament for Palestinians including the millions-strong diaspora.
    
    *) Lebanon endorses maritime border deal with Israel
    
    Lebanon has approved a US-brokered maritime border deal with Israel,
    unlocking significant offshore gas production for the eastern Mediterranean
    neighbours.
    
    Announcing the approval of the deal, Lebanese President Michel Aoun
    described it as a "historic achievement".
    
    He said Lebanon was able to recover a disputed area of 860 square kilometres
    under the agreement.

    two-round vote in parliament on Thursday, winning more than 160 votes
    against 99 for Saleh.
    After the vote, Iraq's newly elected president named Mohammed Shia al Sudani
    as prime minister-designate.
    
    *) Residents in 'annexed' Kherson begin fleeing to Russia
    
    Evacuees from Ukraine's southern Kherson region are expected to begin
    arriving in Russia after a Moscow-installed official suggested residents
    should leave for safety.
    
    The development is seen as a sign of Moscow's weakening hold on territory it
    claims to have annexed.
    
    The first civilians fleeing from Kherson were due to arrive in Russia's
    Rostov region on Friday, according to the TASS news agency.

    It demanded that Moscow immediately reverse its actions.
    
    The vote in the 193-member world body was 143-5 with 35 abstentions, the
    strongest support from the General Assembly for Ukraine and against Russia.
