FIDE World Cup 2025: Arjun Erigaisi draws quarter-final game 1; Yakubboev scores sole win

Panaji (Goa) [India], November 17 (ANI): Grandmaster Arjun Erigaisi (2773) kept India's flag flying high as he held Chinese Grandmaster Wei Yi (2754) to a solid draw in 31 moves in the first classical quarter-final game of the $2 million FIDE World Cup at Hotel Resort Rio, Goa, on Monday, as per a release from FIDE. A place in the newly christened Viswanathan Anand Cup final and a coveted spot in the Candidates 2026, scheduled for March in Cyprus, await the winner of this prestigious event. It goes to the credit of the Andhra boy from Warangal that he drew his game against the dangerous Chinese GM Wei Yi without breaking a sweat. The TATA Steel 2024 champion took the opening battle into a Ruy Lopez Closed system, a position that held no demons for the Indian. Showing excellent preparation, GM Arjun Erigaisi maintained a time advantage throughout. By move 27, the game had simplified into a drawn rook-and-pawn ending, and the players agreed to a draw by threefold repetition after crossing the 30-move threshold. A notable highlight was Arjun's exceptional speed of play--he finished the game with more time on his clock than he started with, reflecting both confidence and preparation. The second classical game now becomes a crucial encounter, with Arjun having the advantage of the white pieces. In the other quarter-final matches, former US Champion GM Sam Shankland (2654) drew with GM Andrey Esipenko (2693) in 38 moves, while GM Sindarov Javokhir (2721) and GM Jose Eduardo Martinez Alcantara (2644) split the point after 39 moves. The only decisive result of the day came from Uzbek Grandmaster Nodirbek Yakubboev (2689), who defeated Germany's GM Alexander Donchenko (2641).

Behind "overcapacity" claim: How China's clean-tech footprint powers global green transition

Behind "overcapacity" claim: How China's clean-tech footprint powers global green transition

by Xinhua writer Han Xiao BEIJING, Nov. 17 (Xinhua) -- Under the blazing sun of northeastern Kenya, food stall owner Elizabeth Wanjiku recalled the days when power outages disrupted daily life and spoiled the food in her refrigerator. Notably, despite Africa's immense renewable energy potential, around 600 million people on that continent still live without electricity. "We are experiencing fewer power blackouts and enjoying the benefits of a more reliable electricity supply," she said, while pointing to the Garissa solar power plant built by a Chinese company. Wanjiku has managed to extend her stall's opening hours for four more hours in the evening. "We earn more with longer business time," she said. Such solar power plants have brightened villages once shrouded in darkness across Africa -- symbolizing a broader shift as affordable, Chinese-made green technologies transform lives far beyond China's borders, turning natural resources into real opportunities and allowing developing countries to share in the global green transition. Although some Western critics have focused on so-called green "overcapacity" emanating from China -- the misconception that its massive production of solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles is flooding global markets, experts in this field argue that the real challenge of global green transition is not an excess of green capacity, but a shortage of affordable clean energy. The main obstacle to decarbonization, especially for developing economies, has long been the high cost of green technologies. As recently noted by The Economist, clean technology generally requires more upfront investment than fossil-fuel tech, though it has lower lifetime costs. In regions where financing is expensive, renewables are thus harder to scale. Chinese innovation and large-scale manufacturing, however, have helped break this barrier. With its clean energy footprint now extending across almost the entire globe, China is helping reshape the carbon trajectory of multiple regions -- and supporting their transition toward carbon neutrality. ACCESSIBLE TO ALL Backed by the world's most comprehensive supply chains and a massive market, China has taken a leading position in solar power, wind power, electric vehicles and energy storage, making it a key driver of global green transition. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, the sharp decrease in global average costs of electricity from solar and wind was largely attributed to China's contribution -- making clean energy more affordable and accessible worldwide. One example is the "Africa Solar Belt" initiative, a South-South cooperation project aimed at combating climate change, launched in 2023. Under this program, China has signed cooperation agreements with countries such as Burundi and Chad, combining its industry advantages and Africa's abundant sunlight resources to help African households gain access to reliable electricity. Thanks to cooperation between Chinese and African companies, the cumulative installed capacity of photovoltaic power plants has exceeded 1.5 gigawatts. China's efforts in promoting clean energy are increasingly helping curb global carbon emissions in many countries. An analysis from the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air in Helsinki showed that Chinese exports of clean-energy technologies in 2024 alone had shaved 1 percent off global emissions outside of China. EVOLVING GREEN INVESTMENT Beyond exports of green products, Chinese green technology firms are also ramping up overseas investment to better integrate into regional green industrial ecosystems. "China's green trade is evolving from single-product exports toward full supply-chain greening and the delivery of integrated green solutions," said Zhang Wei, deputy secretary general at the Center for China and Globalization (CCG). A report by the Net Zero Industrial Policy Lab found that since 2022, Chinese green tech firms have pledged over 210 billion U.S. dollars in foreign investment to expand their supply chains abroad and capture new markets. Chinese clean-tech giants, including Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (CATL), BYD and Trina Solar have announced investments of billions in overseas factories -- in more than 50 countries, according to the report. In Thuringia, Germany, CATL's 1.8-billion-euro battery plant boasts an annual design capacity of up to 30 million cells, enough to power roughly 200,000 electric vehicles. The plant, powered by renewable energy and smart energy management systems, has become the firm's first overseas plant to operate with net-zero carbon emissions. In Uzbekistan, Chinese photovoltaic giant LONGi coupled with global partners this year to develop Central Asia's first large-scale green hydrogen project -- which is expected to cut about 30,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year compared with traditional hydrogen production models. "Our cooperation model connects China's technology with local energy strategies," said Zhang Wenyin, head of strategy and marketing at LONGi Hydrogen. "It also helps partner countries cultivate local talent and industrial capacity." NOT AN ISOLATED ENDEAVOR Despite strong momentum in global green transition and a shift by industries toward low-carbon development, the rise of green trade has been accompanied by growing protectionism. Such barriers, experts have warned, could slow the spread of green technologies and limit access for developing countries -- especially as sustainable development goals are facing severe headwinds and require more effective collective action. Data from the World Meteorological Organization revealed that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels had hit a record high in 2024, registering the biggest increase since measurements began. Trade data, meanwhile, showed that tariff peaks on environmental goods still reach as high as 35 percent -- significantly higher than the average tariff level on industrial products, according to Zhang from the CCG. "Adding to the complexity, some environmental trade measures have evolved into new types of green trade barriers," he noted, citing that overly-strict environmental standards in some regions may amount to trade protectionism, and create major hurdles for firms in developing economies. "Global governance of green trade is not an isolated endeavor," said Long Yongtu, China's former chief negotiator for entry into the WTO. "It is closely linked to the broader goals of achieving sustainable development and addressing global climate change." "We need to expand international and multilateral engagement in the green sector," Long stressed -- calling for deeper technical exchanges and standards coordination, as well as active promotion of third-party market cooperation, thereby leveraging China's clean-energy technologies to better support global green transition, so that all countries can benefit.

Why Washington and BRICS tell the same story about de-dollarization

Why Washington and BRICS tell the same story about de-dollarization

The odd convergence of a focus on sanctions risk as opposed to the fraying economic foundation of dollar hegemony serves the interests of both sides of the geopolitical divide There is a strange paradox at the heart of the whole de-dollarization trend. Both the BRICS upstarts seeking alternatives to the dollar and the aging hegemon trying to forestall this process have, at least officially, coalesced around a similar but not entirely accurate narrative: that the gradual pivot away from the dollar is primarily driven by Washington's weaponization of its currency. The sanctions on Russia in 2022 certainly did mark the definitive moment when Washington gave up on any notion of being the benevolent custodians of the global dollar system and decided to use it instead as a bludgeon against geopolitical adversaries. Geopolitically, this was a watershed moment, and historians of the future will almost certainly see it as such. But is it really the singular reason countries are scurrying to find alternatives to the dollar? The claim that de-dollarization is ultimately a response to US coercion sounds like something akin to a BRICS version of a Niemöller-style warning about indifference in the face of persecution: "First they came for Russia; next they might come for us." The implication is that any country could be the next victim of Washington's capricious wrath. But hardly anyone stops to ask how realistic this actually is. Is China - a systemically central economy - really at risk of Russia-style sanctions? Would the US really dare to impose hardcore sanctions on India, Brazil, or BRICS-adjacent Türkiye? If the US can't even get away with Trump's Liberation Day tariffs without nearly blowing up the Treasury market, does anybody really believe it could freeze China's reserves without five minutes later ushering in a financial crisis that would dwarf 2008? Frankly, even sanctioning Russia, which by 2022 was already considerably decoupled from the US market, hasn't gone all that well. The quiet expropriation of wealth that nobody is supposed to notice The real underlying driver of de-dollarization is economic in nature: the US will need structurally negative real rates in light of its high and rising debt load. For reserve holders, that implies a systematic erosion of purchasing power. In that sense, de-dollarization is not a political statement so much as an investment decision. This is a process that began well before the Russia sanctions and would have continued even in their absence. Since 2014, foreign central banks have stopped buying US Treasuries on a net basis, while US deficits have continued to grow. This little-known pivot point will surely have a place of honor when the final account of the transition to a new system is someday written. In other words, even by 2014, the handwriting was clearly on the wall. The long-term trajectory of US fiscal and monetary policy was signaling trouble. US deficits were no longer episodic and induced by recession, but had become a permanent feature of the landscape. Let's fast-forward to 2022 - the year casually cited as the launching-off point for de-dollarization. Certainly, this was an important year and a number of statistics bear that out: central bank buying of gold - essentially a de-dollarization of reserves - spiked that year. But was it all because of the sanctions on Russia? It turns out there was something else going on around that time that may well have spooked a lot of players - especially China. Over 2020-2022, US federal debt jumped from $23 trillion to over $30 trillion, an unprecedented rise outside of wartime, while the Fed's balance sheet more than doubled from $4 trillion to $8.9 trillion. Meanwhile, the ostensibly exotic and temporary policy tool of quantitative easing introduced in the wake of the 2008 crisis turned out to be quite permanent. In other words, the troubling signals of 2014 now sounded as if blared through a megaphone. By 2022, it had probably dawned on most of the world that the US has no credible path to fiscal sustainability and isn't lifting a finger to find one, so it will almost certainly have to run negative real rates in order to erode the burden of the debt over time. To understand how negative real rates help manage debt levels, think of an extreme example: if you owed a sum of money in Weimar Germany, you would have found it a lot easier to pay it back once the deutschmark hyperinflated - just sell a pair of shoes and you can cover what was before a huge debt. In fact, during this period of 2020-2022, real US yields were deeply negative: inflation was running around 7-8% (officially), all while the US 10y paid around 1.5%. Such a state of affairs decreases the purchasing power of the dollar. This is not a great option if you're holding a whole bunch of Treasuries. Analyst Luke Gromen called this an "expropriation" of a nation's wealth by the Americans. If you have to buy commodities in a currency that is being debauched - and commodities aren't getting any cheaper - you have a serious problem. You don't have to have a PhD in economics to understand that debasement of the dollar and massive inflation is the eventual end-game. The only other option for the US is to let interest rates remain high and then suffocate under the burden of servicing its debt at higher rates - thus also inviting a massive credit crisis. When choosing between a quick death and a slow death, governments tend to choose the latter. So, in 2022, holders of US debt the world over were staring at a significant loss in real terms. For a private investor, that's unpleasant. For a central bank holding hundreds of billions in reserves, it's existentially unsustainable. Deep within the bowls of economic policymaking circles in certain countries, I dare say this state of affairs focused minds no less than the repercussions of the Ukraine crisis. Even though in 2023 real rates did return to positive territory (barely), the US hasn't shown the slightest inclination of moderating its fiscal recklessness. It will continue to issue Treasuries at a high rate to cover ever wider deficits and pressure will remain on the Fed to monetize more debt in the next downturn. The problem is now structural and permanent. Washington and BRICS agree: 'Let's not go there' So, in light of all of this, why all the emphasis on geopolitics? Part of what is going on is the entirely natural mechanism of narrative creation in a world of short news cycles, shorter attention spans, and media-hyped geopolitical drama. Negative real yields and reserve composition don't make good television, as they used to say. Dramatic geopolitical confrontations certainly do. However, there is also deliberate obfuscation at play - and it comes from both sides of the geopolitical divide. It hardly needs to be said that Washington makes every possible effort to downplay or deny the de-dollarization process. Most American and other Western institutions prefer to modestly divert their eyes from the palettes of gold being shoved into the central bank vaults of other countries. They go out of their way to quote statistics that show dollar use holding steady (such statistics can certainly be found). But insofar as the theme of de-dollarization has to be addressed, Washington prefers what it sees as the lesser of two evils: acknowledging some collateral damage associated with the weaponization of the dollar rather than admitting the entire economic foundation of the dollar system is eroding before our eyes. In April 2023, Janet Yellen conceded that "there is a risk when we use financial sanctions that are linked to the role of the dollar, that over time it could undermine the hegemony of the dollar." For her, it is merely a question of calibrating a geopolitical tool to minimize the extent to which the rest of the world gets wild ideas about preserving the returns on their investments. At a House of Representatives hearing from July 2023 called 'Dollar Dominance: Preserving the US Dollar's Status as the Global Reserve Currency', Dr. Daniel McDowell, an international affairs professor at Syracuse University, gave a typical reading of this notion in his testimony: "The more that the United States has reached for financial sanctions, the more it has made adversaries and foreign capitals aware of the strategic vulnerability that stems from dependence on the dollar. Some governments have responded by implementing anti-dollar policies, measures that are designed to reduce an economy's reliance on the US currency for investment in cross-border transactions. Although these measures sometimes fail to achieve their goals, others have produced modest levels of de-dollarization." There you have it. The cost of pursuing America's foreign policy agenda has to be acknowledged - but it mostly amounts to "modest levels of de-dollarization." Clearly, the US has a tremendous vested interest in keeping its teetering dollar hegemony going and doesn't want to probe its weaknesses too deeply. Saying "we admit the Russia sanctions made some people uncomfortable" works a lot better than saying "we hope nobody notices that holding dollars in your coffers is a good way of eventually going broke." But that raises the question: what exactly does BRICS have to gain by emphasizing geopolitics over the economic angle? Think about it like this. Let's suppose you hold a whole bunch of bonds of a certain entity, but you don't have much confidence in that entity. One thing you would definitely not do is go around broadcasting your doubts about that entity's solvency. Doing so would be a good way to make the bonds you still hold a lot less valuable. Now suppose you are actually selling some of those bonds - not fire-selling them, but gradually lightening up your holding on the margins. Because you're a big holder, people notice. One thing that would be nice to have is some cover for what you're doing so that you didn't have to admit publicly that you don't believe in the solvency of the issuer of your bonds. The moment you did so, the bonds you are still holding would lose a lot of value - not to mention you might provoke a panic that you yourself are unprepared for. The bond issuer here is, of course, the US government and the bonds are US Treasuries and other related US debt securities. You better be a bit careful what you say unless you want to punch a big hole in your own portfolio, not to mention probably opening yourself up to some sort of unpleasant retaliation. China still holds an awful lot of dollar assets. Other BRICS countries (excluding Russia) also have sizable holdings. What BRICS actually does is the following: they load up on gold as quietly as possible (gold is now the fastest-rising international reserve asset); they seek to boost non-dollar bilateral settlement; they secure local-currency swap lines; they buy shorter-duration Treasuries; they work on new financial infrastructure. But what they say at the official level tends to be very bland and mostly standard fare about diversification or managing risk. China's State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) is a hugely important institution - the real manager of the country's reserves. It puts out annual reports that are, to put it gently, a bit dry to read. Importantly, it does not publicly frame its reserve shifts as a repudiation of US debt. Anyone looking for spicy rhetoric in a SAFE report tends to be sorely disappointed. When the BRICS world does step up the rhetoric a bit, they tend to lean into the geopolitical angle: the US is abusing the privilege that comes with presiding over the system; the US applies double standards; the US is interfering in the sovereignty of other countries. These allegations are absolutely true and certainly factor in the calculations of BRICS governments. But this is also a way of underemphasizing what's really exerting a magnetic pull on the de-dollarization process. What we end up with, somewhat bizarrely, is two competing geopolitical blocs both dancing very gingerly around the elephant in the room. This odd convergence of narratives found a perfect articulation in a Carnegie Endowment analysis from October 2024 titled 'China's Dollar Dilemma'. Carnegie is firmly situated within the Washington policy mainstream, so its framing is a reliable measure of establishment thinking. The piece opens with a familiar claim: "Increasingly intensifying US economic sanctions targeting Russia's financial system have deepened concerns in China over its extensive dollar asset holdings and the Chinese financial system's reliance on dollars." From there, it selectively highlights only the motives that Chinese officials and scholars are comfortable stating in public: fear of sanctions, fear of asset freezes, and fear of US overreach. It cites an influential Chinese economist calling for reduced Treasury exposure due to sanctions risk, and quotes a prominent state-backed journal warning that China's reserves are "increasingly becoming 'hostages'" - a direct reference to the freezing of Russia's central bank assets. All of these points do appear in Chinese discourse, but precisely because this is what Chinese officials can safely say. US behavior can be criticized, but less so the dollar's viability. China's diversification is attributed to external threats, not to internal assessments about long-term returns, negative real yields, or the trajectory of US fiscal policy. These arguments sit comfortably within China's public-facing narrative. Carnegie should know full well that China's actual analysis of the matter extends far beyond what is presented publicly, but it made no attempt to probe that. But these arguments also sit comfortably within the boundaries of Western establishment discourse. A sanctions-centric explanation allows American analysts to acknowledge discomfort among Global South countries without interrogating the deeper issue of whether US debt has become structurally unattractive. It preserves the image of the US as a rational, stable hegemon rather than a debtor whose fiscal trajectory and monetary regime impose losses on foreign reserve holders. There is no examination of how US fiscal expansion directly increases China's exposure to interest-rate losses - hardly a trivial issue! The result is telling: in a piece of nearly 5,000 words, the discussion of US debt sustainability is confined to a single sentence - one that merely projects debt levels out to 2050 without analyzing what those levels mean for the reserve asset status of Treasuries. A reader could easily conclude that China's diversification is driven almost entirely by sanctions fears. But here's the kicker: if that reader had been perusing the offering of BRICS publications, that conclusion would only have been reinforced. The core irony is thus that a long, meticulously argued analysis produced at the heart of the Western policy establishment ends up mirroring the dominant narrative inside the BRICS world itself. Both sides emphasize geopolitics and sanctions risk, and both underplay the basic financial logic that makes US assets less attractive. They arrive at the same explanation for entirely different reasons - but the convergence is unmistakable. A convergence indeed, but there is ultimately a difference. As far as I can tell, the Washington DC establishment actually believes its own propaganda, whereas the BRICS crowd knows exactly what the real score is and is carefully working to keep the system stable while it is slowly replaced.

Trump administration expands crackdown against four Antifa groups

Trump administration expands crackdown against four Antifa groups

WASHINGTON, D.C.: The United States on November 13 designated four groups in Germany, Italy, and Greece as global terrorists, accusing them of being "violent Antifa groups" as President Donald Trump steps up efforts against left-wing organizations. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he had labeled the Germany-based Antifa Ost as a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist," along with three other groups in Greece and Italy, as part of Trump's push to confront what he calls Antifa's "campaign of political violence." Rubio said he also plans to list the groups as "Foreign Terrorist Organizations" from November 20 and warned that Washington would take action against other groups abroad. According to Rubio, these groups embrace revolutionary anarchist or Marxist ideologies — including anti-American, anti-capitalist, and anti-Christian views — to justify violent attacks in the United States and overseas. He said the U.S. would continue using all available tools to deny resources to terrorists and pursue other Antifa-linked groups around the world. Trump and his Republican allies have accused antifa supporters of fueling political violence following the September killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and amid protests against federal immigration authorities in cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and Portland, Oregon. Trump had threatened to target antifa during his first term and formally labeled it a terrorist organization in a September executive order. Antifa, short for "anti-fascist," is a loose, decentralized movement with no formal leadership, according to a 2020 Congressional Research Service report. The State Department said Antifa Ost was responsible for multiple attacks on people it "perceives as fascists or part of the right-wing scene" in Germany between 2018 and 2023, and accused it of carrying out several attacks in Budapest in February 2023. Germany's foreign and interior ministries had no immediate comment. Germany's domestic intelligence agency identified Antifa Ost as a violent network in a 2024 report. Four people linked to the group were arrested between December 2023 and November 2024 for alleged attacks on people they viewed as right-wing extremists. While the arrests likely weakened the group, the report warned that its members continued to target the far-right AfD party, which has sought closer ties with the Trump administration. Along with Antifa Ost, the U.S. also designated the Informal Anarchist Federation/International Revolutionary Front in Italy, and Armed Proletarian Justice and Revolutionary Class Self-Defense in Greece as terrorist groups. The Italian prime minister's office declined immediate comment. A Greek official, speaking anonymously, said the government opposes all terrorism: "We are against any terrorist act and terrorist organization." The Revolutionary Class Self-Defense group has said it carried out an April explosion at railway operator Hellenic Train, which caused minor damage and no injuries. The group also claimed responsibility for a 2024 attack on the labour ministry in Athens, which caused no injuries after police evacuated the area. The State Department said Armed Proletarian Justice claimed responsibility for planting a bomb near the Greek riot police headquarters in Goudi in 2023.

Trump changes track, lifts food import tariffs as price concerns rise

Trump changes track, lifts food import tariffs as price concerns rise

WASHINGTON, D.C.: President Donald Trump announced on November 14 that he is eliminating U.S. tariffs on beef, coffee, tropical fruits, and a wide range of other commodities — a significant shift as his administration faces growing pressure to tackle high consumer prices. Trump has centered his second term on steep tariffs meant to boost domestic production and strengthen the U.S. economy. Rolling back duties on so many staples marks a significant reversal, coming after voters in recent off-year elections cited economic concerns as their top issue, contributing to decisive Democratic wins in Virginia, New Jersey, and other states. "We just did a little bit of a rollback on some foods like coffee," Trump said aboard Air Force One as he headed to Florida hours after the announcement. Pressed on whether tariffs had contributed to rising prices, he conceded they "may, in some cases," have done so, though he insisted most of the cost "has been borne by other countries." Inflation, despite Trump's repeated claims that it has faded since he took office in January, remains elevated and continues to squeeze American households. The administration has argued that tariff revenue has helped the government and that the levies were not a major driver of grocery price increases, but Democrats seized the move as an acknowledgment that the policies were hurting consumers. "President Trump is finally admitting what we always knew: his tariffs are raising prices for the American people," said Rep. Don Beyer of Virginia, noting that Democrats' recent electoral wins were fueled by voter frustration with the economy. Trump imposed broad tariffs on most countries worldwide last April. Beef prices, which have reached record highs, have become a particular political liability, with tariffs on Brazil — a major supplier — contributing to the surge. The new executive order removes tariffs on tea, fruit juice, cocoa, spices, bananas, oranges, tomatoes, and several fertilizers. Many of these items aren't produced domestically, meaning the original tariffs did little to spur U.S. production. Cutting them is still expected to help lower consumer prices. The Food Industry Association welcomed the "swift tariff relief," calling it an essential step in keeping food supplies stable and affordable amid ongoing supply chain challenges. The White House said some of the tariffs Trump had touted months ago were no longer necessary because of new trade agreements with Ecuador, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Argentina — deals meant to expand opportunities for U.S. exporters and reduce barriers for imported agricultural products. Trump had already hinted at possible cuts in an earlier interview with Fox News' Laura Ingraham. "Coffee — we're going to lower some tariffs," he said. "We're going to have some coffee come in." Despite retreating on many tariffs, Trump reiterated on Air Force One that he still wants to use revenue from import duties to fund US$2,000 checks for many Americans. He suggested the payments could come in 2026 but offered no firm timeline. He also floated using tariff revenue to pay down the national debt, raising questions about how both ideas could be funded simultaneously. Trump dismissed concerns that such direct payments could worsen inflation, even though he argued that similar pandemic-era checks had contributed to rising prices under previous administrations. "This is money earned as opposed to money that was made up," he said. "Everybody but the rich will get this. That's not made up. That's real money. That comes from other countries."

Qassem says Hezbollah does not accept 'surrendering country to Israel

Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem on Monday warned against what he called “surrendering” the country to Israel. “Those saying the resistance is a problem because it's not surrendering accept that the country be surrendered to Israel, whereas we do not accept that,” said Qassem in a televised speech marking the first anniversary of the assassination of Hezbollah spokesman and senior official Mohammad Afif. “Today there are a lot of pressures, but they will not succeed in the face of our resilience. We will withstand the pressures in this period and we do not accept to become slaves to anyone,” Qassem stressed. “The level of strength of our people and society is unprecedented and this strength cannot be defeated. We want our land, captives, stability, economy, politics and rights and it is our right to get these rights,” he added. Warning that “we are before a dangerous aggression that has its extensions,” Qassem said the Lebanese “must confront it with all diplomatic and political forms.” “What's happening today is aimed at seizing control of Lebanon and stripping it of all forms of strength,” he cautioned. “Let the Israelis get out of our land, let the aggression stop and let the captives be freed, and we will be able to agree with each other inside the country,” Qassem added. “We are partners in the country and we have our say and we are supported by a large number of the Lebanese people and the allied forces,” he said. Noting that the Lebanese government and state have “a responsibility to devise a program for confrontation,” Qassem emphasized that “the aggression is the problem, not the resistance.” Addressing the Lebanese government, Qassem added: “I advise you to say 'No' based on Lebanon's rights. Let's be together and we will succeed if we stand together, and together we will liberate our land and regain the independence steps.” Pointing out that “the Lebanese Army deployment that is taking place south of the Litani River despite the continuous aggression is a concession,” Qassem decried that “Israel has not implemented any step related to the ceasefire agreement and the U.S. side has not given any guarantee.” He lamented that “days ago, a delegation from the U.S. Treasury was sent to tighten the noose financially on Hezbollah and on all Lebanese.” “If you want to know the biggest problem in Lebanon, search for America,” Qassem said. “I advise the government, the central bank governor and the relevant officials to halt the measures that are putting pressure on all Lebanese,” Hezbollah’s leader added, in response to the new restrictions announced by the central bank. Addressing political rivals, Qassem added: “Stop paralyzing parliament, because this obstruction is unjustified, and the attack on Speaker Nabih Berri is a sinful attack.”

XILINGOL LEAGUE, Nov. 17 (Xinhua) -- On the grasslands of Sonid Right Banner in Xilingol League, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the sound of the morin khuur (a traditional Mongolian bowed stringed instrument also known as the horse-headed-fiddle) echoed through the morning mist. Oyunjargal, a morin khuur player and a Khoomei (a traditional Mongolian singing art) performer with the Ulan Muqir art troupe of Sonid Right Banner, has made full preparations for a day's performance. He has worked with the troupe for thirteen years and traveled across the banner's seven Sumu (town) and fifty-eight Gacha (village). "Our performance goes to every place where herders live," Oyunjargal said. He and troupe members loaded their instruments and sound equipment onto a flow stage bus and drove to a border guard station in Jihuulengt Gacha of Erenuur Sumu, bringing a cultural performance to border patrolmen and herders there. Ulan Muqir (Red Bud Troupe) is the Mongolian name for a traveling troupe that goes from one grazing site to another, performing for the herdsmen in some of China's most remote areas. The first Ulan Muqir art troupe was formed in Sonid Right Banner, Inner Mongolia, in 1957. Since then, generations of artists have performed for the herdsmen and taken root in the prairie. Among the dancers of the troupe, Esnil is the youngest. After graduation from college, she chose to return to the grasslands instead of settling down in a big city. "I was born in a herdsman family, and that is why I wished to dance for the herdsman," said Esnil. Nowadays, she not only performs in rural areas with the troupe, but also goes to primary schools to teach children to dance and tell stories about the Ulan Muqir. From generation to generation, the members of the Ulan Muqir art troupe have taken roots in the grassland, sowing the seeds of art in the hearts of herdsmen and children.

Guinea-Bissau’s presidential poll has already failed the credibility test
Politics

Guinea-Bissau’s presidential poll has already failed the credibility test

In Cameroon, 92-year-old Paul Biya claimed an eighth consecutive term after officially winning 53.7% of a vote widely denounced as fraudulent and met with protests. In Tanzania, President Samia Suluhu Hassan was declared the victor with an implausible 98% of ballots cast in her favour following a poll marred by numerous irregularities and followed by protests and a crackdown unprecedented in the country’s history. And in Côte d’Ivoire, President Alassane Ouattara comfortably secured a fourth term with nearly 90% of the vote, extending his hold on power despite the constitution’s two-term limit. Across the continent, including west Africa, these outcomes have fuelled public cynicism and highlighted a worrying erosion of democratic norms, as leaders manipulate constitutions, neutralise opponents, and hollow out institutions meant to safeguard accountability. It is within this climate of regional disillusionment that Bissau-Guineans will head to the polls on 23 November. The west African country’s upcoming election once offered the potential to demonstrate a growing electoral resilience, a deepening of institutional strength that would help the country break from past legacies of instability. Instead, the process has been repeatedly undermined by President Umar Sissoco Embaló. As social scientists who have written extensively on political instability in Africa, we believe that such dynamics all but guarantee another entry to the roster of failed elections across the region. At stake is more than Guinea-Bissau’s democratic credibility. Its unravelling speaks to a wider regional crisis in which incumbents erode legitimacy not by abolishing elections, but by emptying them of real competition. A legacy of instability In contrast to long-tenured leaders like Biya or Ouattara, or enduring parties such as Tanzania’s Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), Guinea-Bissau’s voters navigate an electoral system defined by unpredictability and instability, especially during election season. The country’s modern electoral turbulence can be traced back decades. João Bernardo “Nino” Vieira returned to power in 2005 for a second stint, nearly a quarter-century after first seizing control via a 1980 coup. His rule was marred by conflict, including an 11-month civil war triggered by a rebellion from former army chief of staff Ansumane Mané. Vieira’s long first tenure ended in a second coup in May 1999, and his second term was cut short in 2009 when he was murdered by members of the armed forces. Malam Bacai Sanhá emerged as Vieira’s elected successor but passed away in January 2012, leaving Raimundo Pereira as interim president. Within months, Pereira would be removed in yet another military coup. The 2012 upheaval halted a runoff election between Carlos Domingos Gomes Júnior and Kumba Ialá. The 2014 election brought José Mário Vaz to the presidency, defeating a candidate with close ties to the military. When Vaz completed his term in 2020, he became Guinea-Bissau’s first president to finish a constitutionally defined tenure. Undermining the process Questions arose even before Vaz’s exit. After Umar Sissoco Embaló was declared the winner over Pereira in the 29 December runoff, Pereira challenged the results. Ignoring the ongoing legal process, Embaló arranged an inauguration ceremony for himself in February 2020. The African Party for Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) accused Embaló of orchestrating a coup and appointed Cipriano Cassamá as an interim president. Embaló then ordered the deployment of the military to state institutions, including the National Assembly. Cassamá stepped down on his second day, citing death threats. The supreme court ultimately declined to rule on the dispute after its chief judge fled the country, also citing death threats. The crisis was effectively resolved by the Economic Community of West African States’ (Ecowas) recognition of the Embaló government. Uncertainty, however, would continue to plague the new government. In May 2022, three months after an attempted coup, Embaló dissolved and suspended parliament. The main opposition party, the PAIGC, formally regained parliamentary control in the June 2023 elections, setting the stage for continued confrontation between the presidency and the legislative majority. Embaló again pursued the dissolution of parliament in December 2023. Although Embaló’s term officially expired in February 2025, the supreme court later ruled he could remain in office until 4 September. Even after that date, Embaló remained in office. These manoeuvres have heightened concerns about the erosion of constitutional norms. Concerns over the broader electoral environment have also come to the fore. Legislative elections initially scheduled for late November 2024 were indefinitely postponed due to alleged funding and logistical challenges. Earlier, Embaló had declared he would not seek reelection, only to reverse course in March 2025. A mediation team deployed by the Economic Community of West African States, tasked with helping the sides agree to and honour an election timeline, abruptly withdrew following threats of expulsion from the Embaló government. More recently, the PAIGC’s chosen presidential candidate, Domingos Simões Pereira, was barred from contesting the November election after the supreme court rejected his candidacy over the late submission of documents. For the first time in Guinea-Bissau’s history, the country’s oldest and most influential party will be excluded from the presidential race. The country has fallen in the Electoral Democracy Index, provided by the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem). As shown in the graph below, the decline even outpaces the drop witnessed after military coups in 2003, 2012, and the assassination of Vieira in 2009. The V-Dem data end in 2024, and thus do not yet capture the 2025 election cycle. Performative elections, entrenched power What is unfolding in Guinea-Bissau is not an isolated crisis. It is part of a wider regional pattern in which leaders recognise that elections can be held, even celebrated, while hollowing out nearly everything that once made them meaningful. Critically, the recent coups in the region have been linked, in part, to popular frustration with flawed electoral processes. Embaló has not entrenched himself with the personal longevity of Cameroon’s Biya or the institutional dominance of Tanzania’s CCM, but the mechanisms he has used to tilt the field look strikingly similar. The removal of viable opponents, the manipulation of constitutional timelines, the coercive use of the security sector, and the corrosion of judicial independence all signal a shift away from accountability. Guinea-Bissau was for the first time in decades poised to demonstrate that democratic resilience could be strengthened. Instead, the 2025 election cycle risks becoming another example of how fragile gains can be reversed with impunity.

Africa Central Banks set to usher in wave of rate cuts as year ends

A wave of African central banks is set to cut interest rates at their final policy meetings of the year as inflation eases, a move that could reinvigorate economic growth. Major central banks in Egypt, Ghana, Angola, South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria will announce policy decisions in the coming weeks, along with smaller economies such as Lesotho, Namibia and Botswana. “We expect the year to end with further loosening across the board,” said Jacques Nel, head of Africa Macro at Oxford Economics, adding that rate cuts are likely to extend into 2026, particularly in Kenya, Ghana and Nigeria. For a calendar of forthcoming interest-rate rate decisions in Africa, click here. Emerging-market assets have been among the biggest winners this year, lifted by dollar weakness fuelled by US President Donald Trump’s tariffs, a doveish shift from the Federal Reserve and retreating oil prices that’s helped to ease inflation. Across Africa, the surge in consumer prices that forced high interest rates is finally abating, allowing central banks to shift their focus toward reviving economic growth The improving backdrop has emboldened several countries, including Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, to cut interest rates for the first time in years — and is likely to allow others to extend their easing cycles. In Ghana, where annual inflation has cooled to a more than four-year low, policymakers are expected to cut borrowing costs for a third straight meeting — by 325 basis points to 18.25% — after a surprise 350-point reduction in September. A windfall from cocoa and gold exports has strengthened the government’s balance sheet and powered a 34% rally in the cedi against the dollar, making it one of the world’s best-performing currencies this year among those tracked by Bloomberg. Kenya’s monetary policy committee is also poised to lower interest rates by 25 basis points to 9% - extending its longest uninterrupted easing cycle on record. “Ghana and Kenya have enjoyed favourable macroeconomic releases of late, including benign inflation,” Nel said. “The Ghanaian central bank will be eager to support the country’s economic recovery, while an easing in cost of living pressures will be welcomed in Kenya.” Major African oil producers Nigeria and Angola, which cut key interest rates in September for the first time in years, may do so again. “The Nigerian central bank has been pretty prudent, but easing inflation and a stronger naira have given it room to let loose,” Nel said. Angola’s annual inflation slowed sharply to 17.4% in October from 18.2% a month earlier. “This reinforces our outlook for more aggressive rate cuts by the Banco Nacional de Angola over the next 12 months,” Rand Merchant Bank analysts Precious Dube and Sam Singh-Jami said. Another 50-basis-point reduction is expected at Tuesday’s meeting, bringing the policy rate to 18.5%, they said. Investors’ main focus will be on Africa’s two largest economies — South Africa and Egypt — whose rate decisions are due Thursday. South Africa’s National Treasury last week formally adopted the Reserve Bank’s new 3% inflation target in its medium-term budget, while Egypt saw an unexpected pickup in rent-driven inflation. Most economists in a Bloomberg survey forecast South Africa’s MPC to resume its easing cycle with a 25-basis-point cut to 6.75%. The Treasury’s endorsement gives “strength to the signal” that the country is moving toward a lower inflation norm, Keabetswe Mojapelo, macroeconomist at RMB, said. “That alignment should help guide expectations down over time and increase the likelihood of a 25-basis-point cut.” Economists are less certain about Egypt’s next move after the inflation surprise. Four of seven surveyed by Bloomberg expect a 100-basis-point reduction to 20%, while the rest anticipate a hold.

Steelers' Jalen Ramsey says Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase spit on him before ejection

(Photo credit: Sam Greene/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images) Pittsburgh defensive back Jalen Ramsey said Cincinnati's Ja'Marr Chase spit on him, leading the Steelers player to take a swing at the Bengals star wide receiver during their game Sunday. Ramsey was ejected for throwing the punch, which came with about 13 minutes remaining in the host Steelers' 34-12 victory. 'He spit on me,' Ramsey, 31, said after the game, noting he was OK with trash talk between the two, but Chase crossed the line. 'I actually enjoy that part (talking) of the game. I think that people know that,' Ramsey said. 'I'm sure the NFL, they'll do their due diligence. They've got 100 cameras out there. They can investigate. They can see everything. ... They should be able to pull it up and see that he spit and it's whatever after that, to be honest. I was still a little too nice, if I'm keeping it honest with you.' Chase, 25, denied Ramsey's version of the incident. 'I ain't ever opened my mouth to that guy,' Chase said after the game. 'I didn't spit on nobody.' As for what led to Ramsey trying to punch him, Chase said, 'Well, he don't like some of the words I told him. We've been going back and forth the whole time. So I'm sure something got under his skin.' The veteran players had been going at each other verbally over the course of the game and both were penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct one play earlier when Ramsey said Chase attempted to crackback block him. Ramsey called the first incident 'just a little scuffle' when Chase grabbed his mouthpiece off his face mask and he pushed Chase's face mask. The pair were warned by officials that a similar penalty would lead to ejection. 'We had just talked to the refs,' Ramsey said afterward. 'I ain't going to do something again to get myself kicked out of the game. The refs had just told us a play before. If you just use your common sense, you'll know, hey he wasn't just doing it again for no reason. You know what I mean?' But then, during a timeout before the next play, the situation escalated with the alleged spitting incident. Ramsey swung at Chase's helmet and grabbed his face mask. They were separated by players from both teams and assessed offsetting unsportsmanlike penalties, with Ramsey automatically disqualified for the punch. Referee Bill Vinovich told a pool reporter that officials did not see Chase spit at Ramsey. 'Obviously, we did not,' Vinovich said. 'We did not see anything that rose to that level at all.' Ramsey, primarily a cornerback in his 10-year career, is a seven-time Pro Bowl selection and three-time first-team All-Pro. Chase is a four-time Pro Bowl pick in his fifth season. He was a first-team All-Pro in 2024. --Field Level Media

News24 | ‘Nothing to hide’: US House speaker says Epstein files will clear Trump

Mike Johnson said releasing Justice Department files on Jeffrey Epstein should dispel claims linking President Trump to Epstein’s crimes.Johnson and Marjorie Taylor Greene clashed over Republicans’ handling of the Epstein files, leading Trump to withdraw support for her.Greene said she doesn’t expect the files to implicate Trump but pushed for full transparency. US House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson said on Sunday he believed the approaching vote on releasing Justice Department files related to Jeffrey Epstein should help put to rest allegations that President Donald Trump had any connection to the late sex offender’s abuse and trafficking of underage girls. “They’re doing this to go after President Trump on this theory that he has something to do with it. He does not,” Johnson, the Republican leader in the House, said on the “Fox News Sunday” programme. “Epstein is their entire game plan, so we’re going to take that weapon out of their hands,” Johnson said of Democrats. “Let’s just get this done and move on. There’s nothing to hide.” Though Trump and Epstein were photographed together decades ago, the president has said the two men fell out prior to Epstein’s convictions. Emails released last week by a House committee showed Epstein believed Trump “knew about the girls,” though it was not clear what that phrase meant. Trump has since instructed the Department of Justice to investigate prominent Democrats’ ties to Epstein. The battle over disclosure of more Epstein-related documents, a subject Trump himself campaigned on, has opened a rift with some of his allies in Congress. READ | Trump demands probe into Epstein links to Bill Clinton Trump, late on Friday, withdrew his support for US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, long one of his staunchest supporters in Congress, following her criticism of Republicans on certain issues, including the handling of the Epstein files. In an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” programme on Sunday, Greene said she did not believe as-yet-unreleased files would implicate the president, but she renewed her call for further transparency. “I don’t believe that rich, powerful people should be protected if they have done anything wrong,” she said.

News24 | At least 32 killed as bridge collapses at DRC mine, soldiers accused of panicking workers

At least 32 people have been killed when a DRC mining bridge collapsed.Miners crowded the bridge as they forced their way into the quarry, said a government official.Gunfire from soldiers at the site had sparked panic among the miners, said a report. At least 32 people have been killed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), according to officials, after a bridge at a copper and cobalt mine collapsed due to overcrowding. The incident occurred at the Kalando mine in southeastern Lualaba province on Saturday, the province’s interior minister, Roy Kaumbe Mayonde, said on Sunday. “Despite a formal ban on access to the site because of the heavy rain and the risk of a landslide, wildcat miners forced their way into the quarry,” said Mayonde. The miners rushing across the makeshift bridge, built to get across a flooded trench, made it collapse, he added. A report by the DRC’s Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining Support and Guidance Service, or SAEMAPE, said the gunfire from soldiers at the site had sparked panic among the miners. READ | At least 30 people dead after boat capsizes in DRC’s Lake Tumba The miners then rushed to the bridge, resulting in the fall that left them “piled on top of each other, causing the deaths and injuries”, it said. While Mayonde put the death toll at least 32, the report said at least 40 people had lost their lives. The report said the mine had been at the heart of a longstanding dispute between the wildcat miners, a cooperative that was meant to organise digging there, and the site’s legal operators, who were said to have Chinese involvement. Arthur Kabulo, the provincial coordinator for the National Human Rights Commission, told the AFP news agency that more than 10 000 wildcat miners operated at Kalando. Provincial authorities suspended operations at the site on Sunday. The Initiative for the Protection of Human Rights, meanwhile, called for an independent investigation into the military’s role in the deaths, citing reports of clashes between miners and soldiers. There was no immediate comment from the military. The DRC is the world’s largest producer of cobalt, a mineral used to make lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and other products, with Chinese companies controlling 80 percent of the production in the central African country. Accusations of child labour, unsafe conditions, and corruption have long plagued the country’s cobalt mining industry. The DRC’s mineral wealth has also been at the heart of a conflict that has ravaged the country’s east for more than three decades.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett Sets NFL Record for Completions, Whose Record Did He Break?

The Arizona Cardinals quarterback, who is filling in for the injured Kyler Murray, completed 47 of his 57 pass attempts, setting a new record for completions in a single game. Drew Bledsoe had 45 completions in 1994, and Jared Goff had the same mark in 2019.

Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs Lose to Bo Nix, Broncos as NFL Fans Question AFC West Hopes

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs saw their AFC West hopes take a hit after an 22-19 road loss to the first-place Denver Broncos, decided by a game-winning field goal. The defeat dropped the Chiefs to 5-5 overall and 2-4 in the AFC West, extending their losing streak to two games. Meanwhile, Bo Nix and the Broncos remain red-hot, winning eight straight to improve to 9-2 overall and 6-2 in conference play. Mahomes threw for 276 yards with one touchdown and one interception, completing 29-of-45 passes and connecting with Travis Kelce for a 91-yard touchdown, while Kareem Hunt added a rushing score with 59 yards on the ground. Nix finished with 295 yards, completing 24-of-37 passes, and Will Lutz delivered the game-winning field goal. Fans reacted to the Chiefs' struggles as their AFC West hopes continued to fade, leaving them in third place. In a sluggish, low-scoring first half, both teams went into the break tied at six, each with two field goals after a string of uninspiring offensive drives and punts. Mahomes opened the second half with an interception that set up a Broncos touchdown, giving Nix and Denver a 13-6 lead. Kansas City responded before the quarter ended, sending the game into the fourth tied at 13. A field goal to start the fourth put the Broncos ahead by three, but a quick 2:53 drive set up a Chiefs touchdown as the teams traded scores. Denver tied it again with a field goal with just over four minutes remaining. After holding the Chiefs to a three-and-out, Nix and the Broncos regained possession and sealed the win with a 35-yard field goal. The Chiefs will host the Indianapolis Colts next Sunday as the Broncos head into a bye week.

Report: Argonauts expected to request permission to speak to Tiger-Cats’ Steinhauer for head coaching position

The Toronto Argonauts’ head coaching search continues as the team is expected to request permission to speak to Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ president of football operations, Orlondo Steinauer, for the team’s vacant head coaching position. According to TSN’s Dave Naylor, other candidates of interest for Toronto include former CFL head coach and current Auburn offensive assistant Kent Austin, Montreal Alouettes’ defensive coordinator Noel Thorpe, as well as an internal candidate in quarterbacks coach Mike Miller. Steinauer began coaching in the CFL in 2011, eventually becoming the Tiger-Cats’ head coach in 2019 before fully moving into the front office in 2023. His debut head coaching season in 2019 was one of the most successful in Hamilton franchise history as he claimed the coach of the year award. Steinauer led Hamilton to a CFL-best 15-3 record, tying a league mark for wins by a first-year head coach and setting a new franchise record. The Tiger-Cats also went undefeated at home (9-0) for the first time ever and finished first overall in the CFL standings for the first time since 1998. This comes after Toronto was granted permission to speak with longtime Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ head coach Mike O’Shea, who was ultimately retained by the team.
