👉India's Defense Chief Bipin Rawat, his wife and 11 other people were killed after a military helicopter they were traveling in crashed in southern India on Wednesday, the Indian Air Force said.

Rawat, 63, was appointed as India's first Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government in late 2019.

The accident took place around noon near the town of Coonoor, and the dead include four crew members of the Mi-17V5 helicopter, the Air Force said in a tweet.

Rawat was traveling from an Indian Air Force base in Sulur to the Defense Services Staff College in Wellington in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu to deliver a lecture. Hill station Coonoor is along the flight path.

The Air Force said that Rawat, who had previously served as India's Chief of Army Staff, was traveling in an Mi-17V5 helicopter. India has dozens of the Russian military chopper that are widely used by the military as well as top government ministers visiting defence locations.

📷: Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson greets world leaders as they arrive to attend the COP26 U.N. Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland, Monday, November 1.

👉 COP26, running from October 31 to November 12 in Glasgow will be the biggest climate conference since the 2015 Paris summit and is seen as crucial in setting worldwide emission targets to slow global warming, as well as firming up other key commitments.

At the opening ceremony Monday of the critical climate-change talks, Johnson warned fellow leaders from nearly 200 countries that humanity has “long since run down the clock on climate change” and he cautioned that if we don't get serious today, “it will be too late for our children to do so tomorrow.”

Under the Paris Agreement on climate change made at COP21, nations agreed on the need to limit warming to two degrees and ideally 1.5 above pre-industrial levels. It left them to develop their own action plans and to review them every five years.

Eighty-six countries along with the European Union’s 27 member states have submitted new action plans.

📷: U.S. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden arrive at the White House in Washington, Monday, October 4, after spending the weekend in Wilmington, Delaware.

👉Biden on Monday delivered remarks on the debt ceiling at the White House where he assailed opposition Republican lawmakers for obstructing Democrats from increasing the country's borrowing authority to avert a potentially catastrophic default on October 18, when the U.S. government expects to run out of cash to pay its bills.

Biden said he could not guarantee the United States would not default for the first time, contending it is up to Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell to allow Senate Democrats on their own to increase the debt limit past its current $28.4 trillion level without the threat of a Republican filibuster to block quick action.

McConnell sent a letter Monday to the White House reiterating that Republicans would not help Democrats to resolve the debt ceiling impasse.

Senate Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says Democrats, with 50 seats in the 100-member Senate and the tie-breaking vote of Vice President Kamala Harris, are willing to lift the debt ceiling on their own without Republican support on a simple majority vote.

👉UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Sunday promised that this year's Christmas would be "considerably better" than the holidays in 2020, even as the country continues to face a shortage of fuel and goods.

Speaking to reporters during a visit to the HideOut Youth Zone centre in Manchester, Johnson said the UK had robust supply chains and was a world leader in logistics.

"We are going to see a period in which the global economy, particularly the UK economy, because of the speed of our recovery, is sucking in demand very fast," he said.

But he did not rule out the possibility of further supply disruptions in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

"Where there are issues that we can help with, we'll do everything we can to help," he said.

Opposition parties have urged Johnson to recall parliament next week to address the wider situation of labor shortages and disruptions to supply chains.

📷: Flooded streets and strong waves are seen as Cyclone Shaheen makes landfall in Muscat Oman, Sunday, October 3.

👉 Tropical Cyclone Shaheen bore down on Oman on Sunday, killing at least three people, and authorities urged residents to evacuate coastal areas and delayed flights to and from the capital, Muscat.

A child who had been swept away by water was found dead, the state news agency said, and another person was missing. Two Asian workers were killed when a hill collapsed on their housing area in an industrial zone as a result of the cyclone, the state news agency reported.

The eye of the storm was about 60 km (40 miles) from Muscat and it was carrying top winds of 120 kph (75 mph) or more, a joint statement by the country's hazard, weather and civil aviation agencies said.

The storm's center was expected to hit land during the late afternoon and evening, bringing very high winds and heavy rainfall, but the outer bands of the system were already being felt.

The national emergency committee said the power supply would be cut in al-Qurm, east of the capital, to avoid accidents. More than 2,700 people were put up in emergency shelters.

Most of the oil-exporting country's five million people live in and around Muscat. Roads in the capital would be open only to vehicles on emergency and humanitarian journeys until the storm dies down, authorities said.

In the United Arab Emirates, authorities said precautionary measures were being taken. Police officials were moving to ensure safety by conducting security patrols near beaches and valleys where torrential rains were expected. (Reuters)
