KYIV, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Russia launched dozens of "kamikaze" drones on Ukraine on Monday, hitting energy infrastructure and killing five people in the capital of Kyiv. Ukraine says they are Iranian-made Shahed-136 attack drones - loitering munitions that cruise towards their target before plummeting at velocity and detonating on impact. On the radar, it is one mark, and in that mark there are actually five (drones)," Ihnat said. Ukraine shot down 51 Shahed-136 drones on Oct. 17-18, Ihnat said on Tuesday. A day earlier he put the tally of downed drones at 100 since Russia began using them.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman receives U.S. President Joe Biden at Al Salman Palace upon his arrival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, July 15, 2022.

Russia's President Vladimir Putin and Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan meet on the sidelines of the 6th summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-building Measures in Asia (CICA), in Astana, Kazakhstan October 13, 2022. At a meeting in Kazakhstan, Putin said Turkey offered the most reliable route to deliver gas to the European Union, and the proposed platform would allow prices to be set without politics. Turkey has, however, rejected Russia's move to annex four Ukrainian regions as a "grave violation" of international law. Erdogan told Putin: "We are determined to strengthen and continue the grain exports ... and the transfer of Russian grain and fertiliser to less developed countries via Turkey." Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov this week signalled increasing receptiveness to talks after Moscow suffered a series of military defeats.

☆ America's 'once unthinkable' chip export restrictions will hobble China's semiconductor ambitions

America argues that such advanced semiconductors can be used by China for advanced military capabilities. U.S. companies will be heavily restricted in exporting machinery to Chinese companies that are manufacturing chips of a certain sophistication. "The latest chip rules are a sign that Washington is not trying to rebuild relations with Beijing. For example, it's unlikely that advanced chips manufactured by TSMC won't have used American tools somewhere along the way. Under those rules, Huawei was cut off from the most advanced chips that TSMC was manufacturing and that were designed for its smartphones.

"The White House has few good options despite Biden's warning of 'consequences' after the cut," he said, noting U.S. lawmakers' threats of anti-trust legislation and removal of U.S. military assets from Saudi Arabia. While both courses of action would send a clear message, this could backfire for both the U.S. and for crude prices.

☆ Explainer: Why Russia's missiles on Ukraine have limited impact
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-11 | by ( Peter Graff | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +6 min

Ukraine says Russia fired 83 cruise missiles on Monday and that it shot down at least 43 of them. Both sides say the attack was on a huge scale, unseen at least since Russia's initial wave of air strikes on the first night of the war in February. Western military analysts have no firm figures for how many missiles Russia has left, but for months have pointed to indicators suggesting the supply is limited. Ben Hodges, another former commander of U.S. ground forces in Europe, said that despite Monday's attacks, Ukraine still appeared to have "irreversible momentum" on the battlefield. "Russia's logistics system is exhausted and no Russian wants to fight in Putin's war in Ukraine," he tweeted.

The debt ceiling is going to be an important tool," Carter told Reuters. "I try not to think about it," he said referring to a possible debt limit battle. 'EXTENDED DEBATE'Debate about the debt ceiling could flare again early next year, after the new Congress is sworn in. "There is likely to be an extended debate" on the debt limit next year no matter who wins the midterms, said Akabas, who has seen several such battles waged. McConnell avoided answering a question about the 2023 debt limit debate, saying: "We haven't even finished 2022 yet."

Among state flagship universities, UGA has one of the country’s largest disparities between its proportion of Black students and that of Black high school graduates from the state — second only to the University of Mississippi. “Black students admitted to UGA — they have a lot of options,” said Alton Standifer, deputy chief of staff to the university president, referring to the competition among colleges to enroll Georgia’s Black students. Still, many Black students in Georgia choose to attend more diverse institutions or opt for a historically Black college or university. A reliance on SAT scores can disadvantage Black students, whose average SAT score in 2019 was 933, more than 180 points below that of white students. Selective public universities like UGA that used the Common App have seen an increase in applicants, including traditionally underrepresented students, such as Black students.

SOLOMON ISLANDS TIES TO CHINAIn a statement on the first day of the talks, Henry Puna, secretary general of the Pacific Islands Forum, said he was confident the islands and the United States "can, and ... will secure and build a partnership." Sogavare has repeatedly appeared to snub the United States, heightening Washington's concerns. Wednesday's talks included a session hosted by U.S. special presidential envoy for climate John Kerry, who praised Pacific island leaders for a more ambitious global climate target than agreed at the 2015 Paris climate summit.

U.S. home prices cooled in July at the fastest rate in the history of the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index, according to a new report out Tuesday. Home prices in July were still higher than they were a year ago, but cooled significantly from June gains. Prices nationally rose 15.8% over July 2021, well below the 18.1% gain in the previous month, according to the report. "The -2.3% difference between those two monthly rates of gain is the largest deceleration in the history of the index." Home prices are dropping because affordability has weakened dramatically due to fast-rising mortgage rates.

Apropierea Moldovei de Uniunea Europeană este încetinită de influența Federației Ruse, realizată prin scheme economice și crearea premiselor de șantaj. Fiecare minut de energie electrică consumată crește datoria Republicii Moldova față de Gazprom. Potrivit lui, banii pentru gazele naturale livrate în regiunea transnistreană în scopul producerii energiei electrice nu ajung la Moldovagaz, ci rămân într-un cont special al bugetului separatist. ”În cadrul interviului citat anterior, Tofilat a declarat că nu putem vorbi despre o piață liberă a energiei electrice atât timp cât nu există o varietate de oferte.

Republica Moldova se dorește a fi mai aproape de Uniunea Europeană, implementând standarde și politici în acest sens. Bani.md a atras atenția de repetate ori asupra faptului că un monopol rusesc se instituie pe piața energetică din Republica Moldova. Mai mult, monopolul rusesc pe piața energetică pare să fie susținut de autorități. Crearea unei piețe de eliberare presupune, de fapt, crearea a patru piețe: piața contractelor bilaterale, piața de a doua zi, piața intrazilnică și piața de balansare. Chiar și așa, soluționarea și eliberarea teoretică a pieței energiei electrice din Republica Moldova, ar putea fi insuficientă.

The U.S. government on Friday said it would increase tariffs on aircraft imported from the European Union to 15% from 10%, ratcheting up pressure on Brussels in a nearly 16-year transatlantic dispute over aircraft subsidies. EU officials have said they want to negotiate with Washington but will not be bullied into submission. EU officials had no immediate comment on Friday's news. The WTO in October had awarded Washington the right to impose tariffs on $7.5 billion of annual EU imports in its case against Airbus. "The EU and Airbus could end these tariffs by finally complying with their legal obligations, ending these illegal subsidies, and addressing their ongoing harm.
