*) Security tightens grip in coup-hit Sudan as global pressure bites

Sudan’s security forces have made sweeping arrests of critics and protesters as
they seek to stamp out opposition to this week's military coup.

Security personnel were seen firing tear gas and rubber bullets at dozens of
protesters in Khartoum.

The international community has ramped up punitive measures. The World Bank
blocked aid and the African Union suspended Sudan over Monday's power grab by
the army.

*) Israel advances plans for over 3,000 settler homes in occupied West Bank

Israel has advanced plans to build more than 3,000 settler homes in the occupied
West Bank.

That’s according to a military spokesperson who made the comments a day after
the US forcefully criticised such construction.

Israel gave the final green light to build 1,800 settler homes in the occupied
West Bank and initial approval for another 1,344.

*) Several Pakistani police killed by gunfire at rally of banned group

Three Pakistani police officers have been killed and 70 people wounded during a
rally of the banned group Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan.

Officials said that eight of those wounded were in critical condition and
paramilitary troops in Punjab province had been called on to help manage the
situation for the next 60 days.

The clash broke out at a rally of the banned TLP on a highway just outside the
eastern city of Lahore, a Punjab police spokesman said.

*) Taiwan president confirms US troops training soldiers on island

A small number of US forces are training Taiwan's soldiers to increase the
island’s defence capability.

President Tsai Ing-wen's comments to CNN confirm the presence of US troops on
the self-governing island that China considers its own.

Tensions between Taiwan and China have escalated in recent weeks as Beijing
raises military and political pressure.

*) Gun not thoroughly checked before Alec Baldwin fired fatal shot

Investigators in the US say a .45-caliber Colt revolver used on the set of the
film "Rust" was not thoroughly checked before being given to actor Alec Baldwin.

Last week, Baldwin fired a live lead bullet in an accidental shooting that
killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during a rehearsal in New Mexico.

Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said there was a complacent attitude toward
safety on the set before the shooting.

    Sudan’s security forces have made sweeping arrests of critics and protesters
    as they seek to stamp out opposition to this week's military coup.

    *) Brazil Senate report backs criminal charges against Bolsonaro
    
    A Senate committee has recommended Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro face a
    series of criminal charges over his government's Covid-19 response.
    
    The committee suggested prosecutors put Bolsonaro on trial for charges
    ranging from inciting crime, to misuse of public funds and crimes against
    humanity.
    
    Brazil has the world's second-highest death toll from the virus.
    
    *) Protests grow larger in Sudan
    
    Demonstrations against the military takeover of Sudan have brought much of
    the capital Khartoum to a halt with protesters calling for a return to
    civilian rule.
    The ousted prime minister Abdalla Hamdok and his wife are back at home,
    after being detained at the military chief's residence on Monday.
    Soldiers detained Hamdok, his ministers and members of Sudan's ruling
    council, who have been heading a transition to civilian rule after the 2019
    overthrow of leader Omar al Bashir.
    
    *) Turkish parliament approves cross border operations in northern Iraq,
    Syria
    
    Turkey’s parliament has approved a motion that will extend Ankara's
    authority to launch cross-border military operations in northern Iraq and
    Syria for two more years.
    
    The ruling allows Turkey to deploy troops and expand its missions in Iraq
    and Syria.
    
    Turkey has long decried the threat from terrorists east of the Euphrates
    River in northern Syria, pledging military action to prevent the formation
    of a "terrorist corridor".
    
    *) Colombia says 42,600 hectares deforested in Amazon in first half of 2021
    
    Some 42,600 hectares of rainforest were destroyed in Colombia's Amazon
    across three of the Andean country's provinces in the first half of 2021.
    
    That’s according to the government who says the figure represents a 34
    percent decrease in deforestation across the provinces of Caqueta, Meta and
    Guaviare.
    
    Deforestation in Colombia rose 8 percent to 171,685 hectares in 2020, driven
    mainly by cattle ranching and agricultural expansion.
    
    And finally…
    
    *) Pakistan sink New Zealand in World Cup 'grudge match'
    
    Pakistan has beat New Zealand by five wickets in Sharjah to secure a second
    straight victory in the cricket T20 World Cup tournament.
    
    The win came over a month after New Zealand's shock abandonment of their
    Pakistan tour due to an unspecified "security alert".
    
    New Zealand in September ended its tour minutes before the start of the
    first one-day international in Rawalpindi.

    *) Several killed during violent military coup in Sudan
    
    Several people were killed during a violent military coup in Sudan while
    demanding the release of civilian leaders, including the prime minister.
    
    Hundreds were also injured as soldiers opened fire on citizens who took to
    the streets to try and stop the takeover.
    
    Sudan's top general declared a state of emergency and also dissolved the
    government. A move that sparked swift local outrage and international
    condemnation.
    
    *) ASEAN summit gets under way without Myanmar
    
    A summit of Southeast Asian leaders got underway without a Myanmar
    representative, after its junta leader was excluded for failure to follow a
    regional peace deal.
    Neither ASEAN’s chair Brunei, nor the bloc's secretary-general made a
    mention of the no-show in opening remarks at the virtual meeting.
    The ASEAN summit on October 15 excluded the junta chief who ousted a
    civilian government in February this year.
    *) Joint statement by 10 Western countries avert crisis with Turkey
    
    A diplomatic crisis has been averted after the US and nine other Western
    countries, including France and Germany, backed down from their joint
    statement a week ago, demanding the release of a Turkish prisoner.
    
    Turkey’s President Erdogan cautiously welcomed the move when the US Embassy
    in Ankara said "it maintains compliance with Article 41 of the Vienna
    Convention.”
    
    Erdogan warned that those who do not respect Turkey’s sensitivities and its
    independence, cannot live in the country.
    
    *) Over a dozen worshippers shot dead in Nigeria mosque
    
    At least 18 worshippers have been killed by gunmen who attacked a mosque in
    northern Nigeria during early morning prayers.
    
    The attackers, believed to be ethnic Fulani nomadic herders, were able to
    escape.
    
    Nigerian police said the attack was linked to a conflict between villagers
    and Fulani herders.
    
    And finally…
    
    *) Japan's Princess gives up her royal title
    
    Japanese Princess Mako has given up her royal title by marrying her
    university sweetheart.
    
    The couple wed in a low-key ceremony in Tokyo, following years of
    controversy over their relationship.
    
    The couple are expected to move to the US in the coming weeks to start their
    new life.

 4. October 25, 2021
    
    *) Sudan's military arrests civilian government members
    
    Sudan’s Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok has been placed under house arrest by
    the military.
    
    According to the information ministry, several members of the civilian
    government have also been arrested.
    
    The coup attempt comes days after protests in support of civilian rule
    replacing a council that took over Sudan after the ouster of Omar al Bashir
    in 2019.
    
    *) Colombia's most-wanted drug trafficker to be extradited to US
    
    After more than a decade on the run, Colombia's most-wanted drug trafficker,
    Dairo Antonio Usuga, has been caught by authorities.
    
    The deadly drug lord, also known as "Otoniel", evaded capture by bribing
    officials and making allies on competing sides.
    
    While Otoniel's capture is a win for the world's top cocaine exporting
    country, the kingpin's absence may fuel more violence through power plays.
    
    *) Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's husband goes on a hunger strike
    
    The husband of detained British-Iranian aid worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe
    has gone on a hunger strike to demand her release.
    
    Zaghari-Ratcliffe has been held in Iran since 2016 on spying charges. She
    recently lost an appeal to her sentence and faces a return to prison.
    
    British authorities say they are "doing all they can" to help Nazanin get
    home.
    Richard Ratcliffe claims his wife has been imprisoned as leverage for the
    550 million dollar debt the UK owes Iran.
    
    *) Children are going to die' in Afghanistan, UN agency warns
    
    Millions of Afghans, including children, risk death by starvation unless
    urgent action is taken.
    
    World Food Programme's Executive Director David Beasley says 22.8 million
    Afghans face acute food insecurity and "marching to starvation" compared to
    14 million just two months ago.
    
    Beasley called for Afghanistan’s oversea's assets, frozen after the Taliban
    takeover in August, to be freed for humanitarian efforts.
    
    And finally…
    
    *) Vigil for cinematographer accidentally killed on set
    
    A vigil has been held for the late cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, who was
    accidentally shot dead on a film set of "Rust'' last week.
    
    US actor Alec Baldwin shot and killed Hutchins with a prop gun which he was
    told was not loaded. The prop gun also wounded the film’s director Joel
    Souza.
    
    An investigation is ongoing and no charges have been filed.

    *) Pakistan to keep the border open with Afghanistan to support bilateral
    trade
    
    Pakistan will keep its border with Afghanistan open for longer hours to
    support bilateral trade and the new Taliban-led administration.
    The country's Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi made the announcement
    after his visit to Kabul where he met several Taliban leaders.
    Qureshi said Pakistan will provide humanitarian aid worth at least $280
    million to Afghanistan.
    
    *) Russia reports record 1,064 Covid-19 deaths in the past 24 hours.
    
    President Vladimir Putin this week approved a nationwide workplace shutdown
    in the first week of November, and the capital Moscow will reimpose a
    partial lockdown from October.
    
    *) Turkey could expel 10 Western envoys over remarks on Osman Kavala case
    
    Ankara is likely to expel ambassadors from the United States, Germany and
    eight other Western countries.
    This group of ambassadors recently made a joint statement and called for the
    release of jailed Turkish businessman Osman Kavala, which did not go down
    well with Ankara.
    The 10 envoys were summoned to the Turkish Foreign Ministry on Tuesday.
    
    *) Late monsoon floods kill more than 150 in India and Nepal
    
    More than 180 people have died in flooding across India and Nepal as heavy
    late monsoon rains triggered flash floods, destroyed crops and
    infrastructure and left thousands stranded.
    The north Indian state of Uttarakhand has been especially badly hit, with 88
    confirmed deaths, officials say, while at least 99 have died in neighbouring
    Nepal.
    Police in Nepal said rescuers were looking for at least 40 people who have
    been reported as missing, sparking fears that the death toll could rise.
    
    *) US Households Trump ally Bannon in contempt, seeks prosecution
    
    US lawmakers have voted 229 to 202 to hold ex-president Donald Trump ally
    Steve Bannon in criminal contempt of Congress.
    
    Bannon is accused of refusing to cooperate with a probe into the deadly
    January 6 attack on the US Capitol.
    
    The House referral will now move to the Justice Department, which will
    consider an investigation and charges.
    
    *) Actor Alec Baldwin fires prop gun killing woman on film set
    
    Actor Alec Baldwin has fired a prop gun on a movie set in New Mexico,
    killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.
    The incident occurred on the set of the independent feature film "Rust'',
    the Santa Fe County Sheriff's office said in a statement.
    An investigation is ongoing and no charges have been filed yet.

    *) Drone attack targets US military base in Syria
    
    A drone attack has targeted a US military base near Syria's border with
    Iraq, US officials and a war monitor said.
    
    A US official confirmed the attack on Al Tanf military base in Syria's
    southwestern Rif Dimashq governorate where US forces are deployed.
    
    There were no casualties among American forces, the official told Anadolu
    Agency.
    
    *) Russia, China, Iran agree to work with Taliban for 'regional stability'
    
    Russia and Central Asia power brokers have agreed to work with the Taliban
    to promote security in the region.
    
    They called on Afghanistan's new leaders to implement "moderate" policies
    and Moscow said official recognition would only come when the Taliban meets
    expectations on human rights and inclusive governance.
    
    Russia hosted the Taliban for talks in Moscow, seeking to assert its
    influence in the region and push for action against Daesh fighters in
    Afghanistan.
    
    *) Turkey signs energy, defence deals with Nigeria
    
    Turkey and Nigeria have signed multiple bilateral agreements, extending from
    energy to defence.
    
    Nigeria's President Buhari and Turkey's President Erdogan announced the
    signing of seven deals after a ceremony at the Presidential Palace in the
    capital Abuja.
    
    The two sides signed agreements on defence, energy, mining and hydrocarbon
    as well as youth and foreign affairs cooperation.
    
    *) Ethiopia govt claims strikes hit 'weapons site' in Tigray region
    
    At least 9 people have been badly wounded in air strikes that hit Ethiopia's
    Tigray region.
    
    Ethiopia's government said it targeted facilities to make and repair
    weapons, which a spokesman for the rival Tigray forces denied.
    
    Ethiopian authorities said air force jets conducted air strikes on a Tigray
    rebel military training centre 80 kilometres outside Tigrayan capital
    Mekele.
    
    And finally…
    
    *) Trump to launch new social media network 'TRUTH Social'
    
    Former US president Donald Trump has announced plans to launch his own
    social network platform called "TRUTH Social".
    
    The platform is expected to beta launch for "invited guests" next month.
    
    The platform will be owned by Trump Media & Technology Group, which also
    intends to launch a video-on-demand service that will feature "non-woke"
    entertainment programming.

    *) Brazil's president accused of homicide in Covid response probe
    
    The senator leading a probe into Brazil's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic
    has recommended that President Jair Bolsonaro be charged with homicide over
    government errors that led to the deaths of thousands.
    
    Bolsonaro has dismissed the probe as politically motivated.
    
    The document accuses Bolsonaro of turning down early offers to purchase
    vaccines, delaying Brazil's inoculation drive and costing an estimated
    95,000 lives.
    
    *) US says Taliban won't get access to Afghan central bank reserves
    
    The Taliban will not be allowed to access Afghanistan's central bank
    reserves, which are largely held in the US.
    
    US Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo told Senate it was "essential to
