      Shanghai district orders mass Covid-19 testing and lockdown

      China’s largest city, Shanghai, is ordering mass testing on all 1.3 million residents of its Yangpu district and confining them to their homes at least until results are known. The demand is an echo of measures ordered over the summer that led to a two-month lockdown of the entire city of 25 million that devastated the local economy, prompting food shortages and rare confrontations between residents and the authorities. At the start of the lockdown, authorities said it would last just days, but the deadline was then repeatedly extended. China has shown no sign of backing away from its hardline “zero-Covid” policy since a major congress of the ruling Communist Party that concluded this week by awarding authoritarian leader Xi…

      Climate crisis study finds heatwaves have cost global economy $16tn

      Heatwaves brought on by human-caused climate breakdown have cost the global economy about $16tn since the 1990s, according to a study. The research calculates the financial impact of extreme heat on infrastructure, agriculture, productivity, human health and other areas. “We have been underestimating the true economic costs we’ve suffered because of global warming so far, and we are likely underestimating the costs going out into the future,” said Justin Mankin, an assistant professor of geography at Dartmouth College and senior author of the study published in the journal Science Advances. Despite having the lowest carbon emissions, it is the tropics and the global south that bear almost the entirety of the economic brunt of extreme heat. This is because they are warmer and therefore…

      Russia ‘running out of ballistic missiles’ and no longer targeting Ukrainian bases

      Russia has exhausted its “core stocks” of Iskander ballistic missiles and is no longer attacking Ukrainian military bases, Ukraine’s air force has said. Shortages of the devastating weapons mean Russia has had to change tactics and is now exclusively targeting critical infrastructure. “The enemy is facing severe shortages of the Iskander missiles. They’ve already used up their core stocks of them,” said air force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat. “We see that the enemy is no longer interested in military targets, in troops or other strategic sites,” he said. To replenish its ballistic missiles stocks, Russia is turning to Iran and North Korea, he added. More than seven metres long and capable of carrying nuclear warheads as well as a conventional explosive…

      Is Pakistan a ‘safer’ country than India?

      ‘Do you feel safe walking alone at night?’ This is one of the many questions posed by a survey conducted by a global analytics firm called Gallup. The survey, called Law and Order Index, has positioned Taliban-occupied Afghanistan as the least secured country for the third year.

      UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Friday defended his heavily criticised decision not to attend next month’s COP27 climate change summit, saying he had to focus on “pressing” economic problems. In an interview with Sky News a day after Downing Street announced he was skipping the summit, the prime minister stressed he was “very personally committed” to environmental issues. “I just think at the moment it’s right that I’m also focusing on the pressing domestic challenges we have with the economy, and I think that’s what people watching would reasonably expect me to be doing as well,” Sunak said. The COP27 UN climate change conference takes place in Egypt on November 7-8, two weeks after Sunak became prime minister. Opposition…

      Fired by Elon Musk, Parag Agrawal and Vijaya Gadde are said to exit with big payouts

      Twitter’s new boss Elon Musk wasted no time on Thursday firing CEO Parag Agarwal, legal head Vijaya Gadde, and three other top executives of the company moments after he took charge, tweeting “the bird is freed” to indicate the social media platform would now be more open to unfettered and uninhibited speech. As reported yesterday, dismissal of the two Indian-American principals was inevitable as soon as Musk completed his acquisition. Agrawal and Gadde, who clashed with Musk in the days leading to the takeover over purported fake accounts and censorship, were literally shown the door, reportedly escorted out of the Twitter headquarters. But there was a good reason they did not walk out before Musk took charge; Agrawal’s contract with…
