Heavy rains caused by Mediterranean storm Daniel caused deadly flooding across eastern Libya last weekend. He said prosecutors would investigate local authorities in the city, as well as previous governments. But there was no warning about the dams, which collapsed early Monday as most residents were asleep in their homes. The storm hit other areas in eastern Libya, including the towns of Bayda, Susa, Marj and Shahatt. Others had come to Libya to work or were traveling through in hopes of migrating to Europe.

Meadow is a fintech-meets-edtech startup that lets students calculate what they'd pay for college. On Meadow, students can see what their full cost for school would be after financial aid. The startup has landed partnerships with big universities and just raised $3.5 million in funding. It was especially hard for first generation or immigrant students, Brillembourg said, because of the hoops they needed to jump through to secure funds from multiple sources. "You're 18, not financially literate, and being thrown into this large complex financial payments journey with little or no support to navigate it," he said.

☆ VIDEO // Nagorno-Karabah: Premierul Armeniei anunţă că a semnat un acord „dureros” de încetare a luptelor, mijlocit de Putin: Rusia trimite soldați în zonă, iar armenii PTOTESTEAZĂ violent

Într-o postare pe reţele de socializare, premierul Armeniei, Nikol Pashinyan, a spus că acordul este „incredibil de dureros atât pentru mine, cât şi pentru poporul nostru”. Liderul armenilor din Nagorno-Karabah, Arayik Hartyunyan, a spus că îşi dă acordul pentru „încheierea războiului cât mai repede cu putinţă”. Unele surse media scriu că au fost devastate cele mai importante clădiri din capitala Armeniei, spicherul armean a fost bătut, iar premierul s-ar ascunde. În dimineaţa zilei de 27 septembrie, Armenia a anunţat declararea legii marţiale şi mobilizarea întregii armate. Regiunea Nagorno-Karabah a fost o sursă de dispute între azeri şi armeni încă dinainte de formarea Uniunii Sovietice.

Premierul armean a anunţat pe Facebook că semnarea acordului a fost ”incredibil de dureroasă”, dar că decizia s-a impus din cauza înaintării azere. Aliev a proclamat la televiziune ”capitularea” inamicului, în pofida faptului că Azerbaidjanul nu a recucerit întregul Nagorno Karabah. Turcia, care a susţinut Baku, a salutat ”câştigurile importante” ale Azerbaidjanului împotriva Armeniei în Nagorno Karabah. O înfrângere militară în Nagorno Karabah ameninţă viitorul premierului Nikol Paşinian, ajuns la putere în urma unei revolte populare, în 2018. Războiul din Nagorno Karabah s-a soldat cu cel puţin 1.300 de morţi de la 27 septembrie, potrivit unor bilanţuri foarte parţiale.

Moldova și al doilea consecutiv după decizia Curții Constituționale din martie 2016 prin care s-a decis revenirea la alegerea președintelui prin vot direct de către cetățeni.

Kremlinul a anunțat, luni, 09 noiembrie, că liderii Armeniei, Azerbaidjanului și Rusiei au semnat o declarație comună privind încetarea focului.
