*) US will not discipline troops for strike that killed Afghan civilians

No US troops involved in the August drone strike that killed innocent Kabul
civilians and children will face disciplinary action.

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin approved recommendations for improvements in
strike operations which did not include disciplinary action, Pentagon
spokesperson John Kirby said.

A Pentagon review in November found flaws in communication and identification of
the target of the bombing, which killed 10 civilians, including seven children.

*) Iran accuses Western parties to 2015 nuclear deal of ‘blame game’

Iran has accused Western parties to its 2015 nuclear deal of "blame games" after
European diplomats warned the accord was at risk of losing any real meaning.

Iran's top negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani defended Tehran, saying it "proposed
ideas early and worked constructively".

On Monday, British, French and German diplomats said major powers and Iran had
yet to get down to business at talks on rescuing the nuclear deal, which will
very soon become "an empty shell" without progress.

*) Canada apologises to victims of military sex misconduct

Canadian political and military leaders have officially apologised to victims of
military sexual misconduct.

The apology followed the government’s 468 million dollar settlement with tens of
thousands of current and ex-Armed Forces members who experienced abuse.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is also facing questions over a failure to
investigate criminal sexual misconduct among some of the military’s top leaders.

*)Tunisia president vows to call referendum, elections next year

Tunisia's President Kais Saied has prolonged the suspension of parliament and
announced a constitutional referendum, almost five months after dismissing his
government and granting himself sweeping powers.

The referendum on political reform will take place on July 25, 2022, both
Tunisia’s Republic Day and when Saied took on executive powers this summer.

Saied also extended the suspension of parliament until elections in December
2022.

Critics have called Saied’s measures a “coup d’etat”.

And finally …

*) Larry Nassar victims reach $380M settlement

The victims of sexual abuse by former US gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar
have reached a 380-million-dollar settlement with USA Gymnastics.

A court in Indianapolis on Monday approved the agreement between USA Gymnastics
and the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee and the more than 500 victims.

More than 300 victims were abused by Nassar, with the remaining victims abused
by individuals affiliated with USA Gymnastics in some capacity.

    *) Race to find survivors as US tornadoes kill dozens
    
    Search and rescue operations continue across six US states after a string of
    powerful tornadoes and storms left a trail of destruction.
    
    Kentucky's governor says the storms were the worst in state history and the
    death toll is likely to exceed 100.
    
    From Arkansas to Illinois, around 30 fierce fierce tornadoes obliterated
    homes, businesses and in some cases, entire towns.
    
    *) G7 issues warning to Russia over Ukraine
    
    G7 countries are warning Russia it will face massive consequences if it
    launches a military invasion of Ukraine.
    
    US intelligence says Moscow could be planning a multi-front offensive
    involving up to 175,000 troops.
    
    The Kremlin rejected these claims, but says the possible inclusion of
    Ukraine in NATO threatens its borders and contravenes assurances given to
    Moscow when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.
    
    *) WHO: Over 500M pushed into poverty
    
    The World Health Organization says over 500 million people around the world
    were pushed into poverty last year during the pandemic.
    
    WHO says it's due to people having to pay their own healthcare costs as the
    pandemic has not only disrupted the global economy, but also health systems.
    
    WHO is urging countries to focus on revamping their healthcare systems and
    to make it more affordable to all.
    
    *) State of emergency declared after heavy flooding hits Brazil
    
    Brazil declared a state of emergency in almost 50 cities, after torrential
    rains swept through the country's north and southeast states, killing at
    least three people.
    
    Last week dozens of cities were cut off by floods, causing houses and
    bridges to collapse.
    
    Government will provide financial assistance to those who’ve lost their
    homes.
    
    And finally…
    
    *) Verstappen crowned F1 world champion
    
    Red Bull’s Max Verstappen is the new Formula One world champion after
    winning the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi.
    
    The Dutchman started on pole, but title rival Lewis Hamilton took the lead
    after a faster start, with the Brit chasing a historic 8th title.
    
    A late safety car ensured Red Bull a free pit stop to get fresher tires and
    storm past Hamilton on restart in the last lap.

    wall and overturned in southern Mexico.

    According to survivors, a majority of those in the truck were from
    Guatemala, and were trying to reach the US.
    
    *) Biden gives Ukraine reassurances over tension with Russia
    
    US President Joe Biden has told Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy that
    Washington will impose severe economic sanctions against Moscow if Russia
    attacks Ukraine.
    
    Biden assured Zelenskyy that Washington will provide military resources in
    the form of training and funds, as well as full political support in the
    face of a potential Russian invasion.
    
    Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the conflict in
    eastern Ukraine between Kiev's army and pro-Russian separatists, "looks like
    genocide".
    
    *) Pakistani Taliban refuses to extend ceasefire with government
    
    The Tehreek-e-Taliban in Pakistan has declared an end to a month-long
    ceasefire agreement it had with the government.
    
    They accuse Islamabad of breaching terms including a prisoner release
    agreement and the formation of negotiating committees.
    
    It also said security forces had carried out raids while the ceasefire was
    in force.
    
    *) Nicaragua cuts ties with Taiwan
    
    Nicaragua has broken diplomatic ties with Taiwan and recognised "only one
    China.”
    
    The statement leaves the island nation with just 14 formal diplomatic
    allies, but its president says it will not dent determination to defend its
    freedom.
    
    Beijing has welcomed the move, with officials from both countries due to
    meet in China soon.
    
    And finally…
    
    *) US actor found guilty in staged racist hate crime case
    
    A Chicago jury has found actor Jussie Smollett guilty of staging a fake hate
    crime.
    
    Prosecutors said Smollett, who is Black and gay, lied to police when he told
    them that he was assaulted by two masked strangers in January 2019.
    
    The actor faces a maximum sentence of three years in prison for each count
    when he is sentenced, although he could be given probation.

    A Hong Kong court has convicted media tycoon Jimmy Lai and two other

    *) Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine protects against Omicron
    
    Pfizer-BioNTech says its vaccine booster shot will play a vital role in
    protecting against Omicron.

    The discovery comes as the World Health Organization says Omicron has now
    been reported in 57 countries around the world.
    
    *) Meta bans all military-linked Myanmar companies
    
    Facebook’s parent company Meta will ban all pages and accounts belonging to
    Myanmar military-backed businesses, expanding restraints on the country's
    armed forces.
    
    The tech giant had in February announced a ban on all entities linked to the
    military from advertising on its platforms.
    
    The popular and influential site has for years been criticised for its
    ineffective response to malicious posts, particularly against Rohingya
    Muslims.
    
    And finally…
    
    *) CEO apologises for firing 900 workers over Zoom
    
    The chief executive officer of Better.com has apologised after a video of
    him firing 900 staff via Zoom went viral.

    *) Malaysian court upholds Najib Razak's conviction
    
    A Malaysian appeals court upheld former PM Najib Razak's guilty verdict in a
    case linked to a corruption scandal at state fund 1MDB.
    
    Najib was sentenced to 12 years in prison and fined $50 million last year.
    
    He was found guilty of criminal breach of trust, abuse of power and money
    laundering for illegally receiving about $10 million from a former unit of
    the now-defunct 1MDB.
    
    *) Saudi say France arrested wrong suspect
    
    Saudi Arabia is refuting French police assertions that they caught a Saudi
    man suspected of being involved in the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal
    Khashoggi.
    
    Riyadh says it's a case of mistaken identity.
    
    French officials say they are now preparing to extradite the man to Turkey.
    
    *) Australia impose diplomatic boycott of Beijing Olympics
    
    Australia has followed US and New Zealand by imposing a diplomatic boycott
    of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
    
    PM Scott Morrison says Canberra is struggling to reopen diplomatic channels
    with Beijing, to discuss China's suspected human rights abuses.
    
    China has condemned the move.
    
    *) Rohingya refugees sue Facebook
    
    Rohingya refugees are suing Facebook for $150 billion for not doing enough
    to stop hate speech against them.
    
    Lawyers filing the class-action suit say the way Facebook is designed,
    contributes to real-world violence against the Rohingya.
    
    UN's human rights investigators said Facebook played a significant role in
    fanning hate speech that fuelled the violence in 2018.
    
    And finally…
    
    *) US returns stolen artifacts to Mali
    
    The US has returned over 900 stolen artefacts to Mali. Some of the artefacts
    date back at least 6,000 years.
    
    Many were discovered in 2009, and had been trafficked in the US, labeled as
    replicas.
    
    They were later certified as genuine by anthropologists and will soon be on
    display in Mali's museums

    *) Biden, Putin to hold video call on Russia-Ukraine tensions
    
    US and Russian presidents will hold a video conference amid reports that
    Moscow is planning an incursion into Ukraine.
    
    The White House says it will offer diplomatic alternatives to military
    conflict, but the Kremlin is warning against any interference in regional
    affairs.
    
    This will be the first time Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin have spoken since
    July, and the call is set to tackle key national security concerns.
    
    *) Court to consider appeal in Israeli war crimes case
    
    A Dutch court will today rule on war crimes accusations against Israeli
    Defence Minister Benny Gantz.
    
    Dutch-Palestinian Ismail Ziada filed the civil case against Gantz and
    another official, after six of his relatives were killed in an Israeli air
    strike on Gaza in 2014.
    
    Last year, a lower court dismissed the case, saying Gantz had immunity in
    civil cases, but Ziada appealed on the grounds that immunity does give cover
    war crime accusations
    
    *) Turkey, Qatar to improve relations
    
    Turkey's President Erdogan is in Qatar for a two-day state visit aimed at
    expanding cooperation between the two countries.
    
    He'll preside over the 7th strategic cooperation meeting between Ankara and
    Doha along with Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani.
    
    The visit comes as Turkey works to improve ties with Gulf countries.
    
    *) US boycotts Beijing Olympics on diplomatic level
    
    The US says all of its diplomats will boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics in
    Beijing, over China's human rights record.
    
    New Zealand also joined the boycott saying none of its ministers will
    attend.
    
    Athletes, however, will attend and have the full backing of their countries.
    
    And finally…
    
    *) NYC mayor extends vaccine mandate to private sector
    
    New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a blanket Covid-19 vaccine
    mandate for private sector workers.
    
    In a first for the US, De Blasio cited the emergence of the Omicron variant,
    cold winter weather and holiday gatherings as additional challenges to
    tackling the pandemic.
    
    Additionally, children aged five to 11 must show proof of at least one dose
    of vaccine for restaurants and other activities while those aged 12 and over
    must prove they've had two shots.

    *) Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi gets 4 year sentence
    
    Myanmar's ousted leaders Aung San Suu Kyi and Win Myint were each sentenced
    to four-years each on charges of incitement and violations of a law on
    natural disasters.
    
    The ruling is the first in a series of cases brought against the former
    leaders since a military coup on February 1.
    
    The coup came after the army, whose allied party lost many seats, claimed
    massive voting fraud, but independent election observers did not detect any
    major irregularities.
    
    *) Anti-Covid restriction protests turn violent in Brussels
    
    Tensions flared in Brussels as anti-lockdown protesters clashed with riot
    police.
    
    Police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse demonstrators, who
    gathered to oppose compulsory health measures against the pandemic.
    
    Belgium also imposed the use of Covid-19 passes for people to access bars
    and restaurants, as the country struggles to stem the rising number of
    cases.
    
    *) Casualties in northern Iraq as Daesh, Peshmerga fight
    
    In northern Iraq, Daesh militants killed four Peshmerga soldiers and a
