US Aid Chief Announces New Help For War-Torn Gaza On Visit To Egypt

The US aid chief on Tuesday announced new support for the war-battered Gaza Strip on a visit to Egypt, as a renewed Israeli offensive again puts Palestinians at risk.

Samantha Power, the administrator of the US Agency for International Development, travelled to the Egyptian town of El-Arish, the gateway to Rafah, the border crossing that has been reopened but at limited capacity since the war started.

Power announced $21 million in new US assistance that will include hygiene and shelter supplies and food for people in Gaza, where water and other basics have been in short supply.

USAID said the assistance was in addition to $100 million announced by President Joe Biden on October 18.

Power accompanied the delivery by the US military of another 16.3 metric tonnes (36,000 pounds) of previously announced assistance that includes medical supplies, winter clothing and emergency food.

"The United States continues to work around the clock to overcome diplomatic and operational hurdles for humanitarian access, present solutions to emerging humanitarian assistance challenges and significantly scale up this response to where it needs to be," USAID said in a statement.

But the United States has also faced strong criticism in the Arab world for its military and diplomatic support of Israel, which has carried out a major offensive in response to an October 7 attack by Hamas, the Islamist militants who control the Gaza Strip.

The United States says it has pleaded with Israel to do more to protect civilians and to allow humanitarian assistance into the Gaza Strip.

The State Department said Monday that Israel, after US appeals, began to let badly needed fuel into the Gaza Strip.

Hamas militants launched an unprecedented attack on southern Israel on October 7, killing about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking around 240 hostages, according to Israeli officials.

In response, Israel vowed to destroy Hamas and has carried out air strikes and a ground offensive that have killed around 15,900 people, mostly women and children, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

77 People Who Went Missing In Sikkim Flood Presumed Dead

The 77 people who went missing in the flash flood in Sikkim have been presumed dead as they could not be found even after two months of the disaster, Chief Secretary VB Pathak said on Saturday.

To help their families get various kinds of benefits, including compensation, it has been decided to follow the procedure adopted during natural disasters in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, and settle the matter, he told reporters.

A total of 77 people went missing in the flash flood that struck the state on October 4. Two bodies were later found, but their identities could not be ascertained, he said.

The state government is providing compensation assistance of Rs 4 lakh, while Rs 2 lakh is being provided from the Prime Minister's Relief Fund.

"We have decided to adopt the procedures followed in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh to settle the matter of missing persons," VB Pathak said.

The families will be able to avail of the benefits only after the issuance of the death certificates, he said.

"We expect to settle all missing persons' cases by January," he added.

The families will first need to file a missing complaint at the police station, and then it will be thoroughly examined at different levels before being published in newspapers, social media and government gazette as per process, VB Pathak said.

In case, a person from outside Sikkim went missing, the family has to lodge a complaint with the police in their state, which will then be transferred here for examination, he said.

The flash flood in the Teesta river basin created chaos in the state on October 4, killing at least 46 people, besides the 77 missing persons.

UN Chief, COP28 President Clash Over Future Of Fossil Fuels

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres urged world leaders at the COP28 climate summit to plan for a future without fossil fuels, saying there was no other way to curb global warming.

Speaking a day after COP28 president Sultan Ahmed al-Jaber proposed embracing the continued use of fossil fuels, Guterres said: "We cannot save a burning planet with a fire hose of fossil fuels."

"The 1.5-degree limit is only possible if we ultimately stop burning all fossil fuels. Not reduce. Not abate," he said, referring to nascent technologies to capture and store carbon emissions.

The competing visions summed up the most divisive issue facing world leaders at this year's UN climate summit in the oil-producing United Arab Emirates.

King Charles III of Britain pleaded with world leaders to make progress in the global climate agenda.

"Scientists have been warning for so long, we are seeing alarming tipping points being reached," he said.

"Unless we rapidly repair and restore nature's economy, based on harmony and balance, which is our ultimate sustainer, our own economy and survivability will be imperilled," said the king, who has spent most of his adult life campaigning on the environment.

The comments from Charles, whose role as Britain's head of state is largely ceremonial, appeared to be at odds with his government.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who was expected at COP28 on Friday to announce 1.6 billion pounds ($2.02 billion) in climate finance, has rolled back several domestic measures set by previous governments to help the country meet its 2050 net-zero targets.

Later on Friday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi appeared to admonish wealthy countries for their role in releasing the most climate-warming emissions since the Industrial Revolution.

"We do not have much time to correct the mistakes of the last century," Modi said. "Over the past century, a small section of humanity has indiscriminately exploited nature. However, entire humanity is paying the price for this, especially people living in the global south."

A former Marshall Islands president, whose country faces inundation from climate-driven sea level rise, resigned from the main COP28 advisory board on Friday in objection to the UAE's support of continued use of fossil fuels.

Hilda Heine said in her resignation letter that she was "deeply disappointed" that the UAE had reportedly used its COP28 role to broker oil and gas deals. The UAE has strongly denied the accusations.

"These actions undermine the integrity of the COP presidency and the process as a whole," she wrote, adding that restoring trust meant delivering "an outcome that demonstrates that you are committed to phasing out fossil fuels."

The UAE's COP28 presidency said it was "extremely disappointed" by Heine's resignation.

"We have been completely clear, open, and honest throughout this process, and it is a shame to see unverified reporting affect our team and undermine the world's best chance to keep 1.5 within reach," the statement said.

Options For COP28 Deal

Away from the main stage, delegations and technical committees set to work on Friday on the mammoth task of assessing their progress in meeting global climate targets, specifically the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to within 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), above pre-industrial temperatures.

Scientists say that a global temperature rise beyond this threshold will unleash catastrophic and irreversible impacts worldwide.

The United Nations on Friday published its first draft for what could serve as a template for a final agreement from the COP28 summit, which ends Dec. 12.

The draft offers "building blocks" for a political outcome and includes several options to address the central problem of whether, and to what extent, fossil fuels should play a role in the future.

One of the options involves including commitments to phase down or phase out the use of fossil fuels, to quit coal energy and to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030.

Also on the table for discussion is whether to phase out fossil fuel subsidies, which totaled some $7 trillion last year, and whether to include provisions for carbon capture and removal technology.

On Thursday, the UAE's Jaber urged countries to work together with oil companies to reach common ground.

The summit also clinched an early victory by adopting a new fund to help poor nations cope with climate disasters.

Defence Deal Worth Rs 2.3 Lakh Crore Cleared. Here's What India Will Get

1. The DAC, headed by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, has given its go-ahead for the procurement of 97 more Tejas MK-1A fighter jets for the Indian Air Force and 156 more Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) Prachand, that were inducted last year.
2. Both aircraft are indigenously developed and the value of these deals is around Rs 1.1 lakh crore. The LCH Prachand and Tejas fighter have been developed by the state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). The induction of Tejas will help indigenize the fighter fleet of the IAF which is mostly comprised of Russian, and French fighters. 
3. The AON is not just for the Air Force, but also for the Army and the Navy, making it the biggest defence order in Indian history. The AoN is not the last step before the final procurement. 
4. After the AoN, contracts will be negotiated with the manufacturers and after that, they will be sent to the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) which is headed by the Prime Minister. It would still take several years for the procurement to take place.
5. Apart from the order for Prachand and Tejas, the AoN has been accorded for the upgrade of the Su-30MKI fighter jets. The upgrade focuses on procuring equipment from domestic manufacturers and increasing the indigenous content in weapons and platforms. The aim is to reduce dependence on Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), like Sukhoi for Su-30MKI. 
6. The T-90 Bhishma tanks, which form the pillar of the army's tank fleet along with the T-72 and MBT Arjun, will be upgraded with Automatic Target Tracking System (ATSS) and Digital Basaltic Computer under the Buy (India) Category of the Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP), a guide for all capital procurement in India. The T-90 Bhishma were deployed in Ladakh during the India-China border conflict. 
7. AoN has been given for two types of Anti-tank Munitions - Area Denial Munition (ADM) Type-2 and Type-3, which are capable of neutralising Tanks and Armoured personnel carriers and enemy personnel. ADM is a weapon used against an advancing enemy. They are used as land mines against Tanks and APCs. 
8. The field guns, which the army has been using for many years and have completed their service life, will be replaced by the Towed Artillery Gun System (ATGS). The AoN seeks to make towed artillery the mainstay of the Army's artillery regiment with 155 mm calibre munition as the standard. The Dhanush Howitzer, DRDO's Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System (ATAGS), and M777 Howitzer are some towed artillery guns that the army operates.
9. The AoN has given for procurement of Medium Range Anti-Ship Missiles (MRAShM) for a surface platform of the Indian Navy under the Buy (Indian-IDDM) category in DAP. IDDM refers to Indigenous Designed and Manufactured.
10. The MRAShM is envisaged as a lightweight Surface-to-Surface Missile which will be a primary offensive weapon onboard Indian Naval Ships.

Miracle Drug That Could Extend Dogs' Lives Inches Closer to Approval

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted key approval for a drug that could extend the lives of large and giant-breed dogs. The drug, LOY-001, is being developed by Loyal, a biotechnology company based in San Francisco. The FDA has approved the Reasonable Expectation of Effectiveness section of Loyal's application for conditional approval. This means that the FDA believes that LOY-001 is likely to be effective in extending the lifespan of large and giant-breed dogs.

According to a letter disclosed by Loyal to the New York Times, a representative from the US Food and Drug Administration stated, "The data you provided are sufficient to show that there is a reasonable expectation of effectiveness."

On average, larger dogs generally have a lifespan of approximately 8 to 12 years, according to information from the American Kennel Club. Specifically, Bernese Mountain Dogs have a life expectancy of 7-10 years, while Great Danes typically live around 8-10 years.

Loyal has outlined that the veterinarian-administered medication is crafted to be a sustained-release product administered to large- and giant-breed dogs at intervals of three to six months.

According to Newsweek, while Loyal did not specify in the statement how long the drug could extend the lives of large canine companions, the company says on its website that the drug will be a "long-acting injectable" administered by a veterinarian every three to six months. At the time of publication, the estimated cost of the drug had not been released.

The FDA's expanded conditional approval is an "accelerated pathway" for the drug, which Loyal estimates will be available in 2026, Loyal spokesman Tim Smith said in a statement.

20 Blocks Of Critical Minerals, Worth Rs 45,000 Crore, Put Up For Auction

In a bid to address potential supply chain vulnerabilities for materials like lithium, cobalt and titanium, the Centre launched the first tranche of the Critical and Strategic Minerals Auction on Wednesday. A total of 20 blocks have been put up for auction and their combined value is estimated to be Rs 45,000 crore, Union Minister of Mines Pralhad Joshi said. 

The 20 blocks are located in Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Chattisgarh and Jammu and Kashmir, and composite licences will be issued for 16 of them, while mining licences will be given for the remaining four. Exploration is allowed under composite licences.

The bidder will be selected based on the highest percentage of royalty rates quoted by them. Sale of tender documents will begin on Wednesday itself, and Mr Joshi encouraged prospective bidders to apply.

The Mines And Minerals (Development And Regulation) Act was amended in August and 24 minerals were notified as Critical and Strategic minerals. 

The auction is important because the minerals are essential for the country's economic development and national security. Lithium is a core component in lithium-ion batteries that form the backbone of not just mobile communication but also electric vehicles, which are touted as the future of transportation. Batteries will also play a role in the wide adoption of solar power to store the electricity produced for use when the sun isn't shining. 

India has committed to achieving 50% of cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil sources by 2030 and lithium and other such minerals will have a key role to play in making that a reality. 

Cobalt also has application in storage, and titanium is widely used in the defence industry. 

Officials said the the lack of availability of these minerals or concentration of their extraction or processing in a few countries may lead to supply chain vulnerabilities. Future technologies will also depend on lithium, graphite, cobalt, titanium and other rare earth elements. 

The other key industries that depend on these minerals include agriculture and pharmaceutical production.

"We have identified a total of 100 blocks for auction. Of these, 20 are being offered in the first tranche and the auction for the others will take place in due course," said Mr Joshi.
