Saudi's Aramco Hit: Houthi Missiles Reach Riyadhs Financial Heart And The Worrying China Link
Riyadh had barely begun returning to normal when the missiles came again. Saudi air defences intercepted the barrage, but falling debris smashed into an Aramco building near the King Abdullah Financial District, blowing out windows across several floors. No deaths were reported, yet the location was the message: the Houthis can still reach the Kingdoms financial nerve centre. Even more worrying, investigators say Houthi networks are sourcing Chinese-made components to build a longer-range ballistic missile modelled on Irans Kheibar Shekan. Intercepted shipments carried rocket-motor parts, fins, igniters and heat-shield material, while US sanctions have already named China-linked firms. Iran supplies the know-how, China the parts and the Houthis the launch sites. Is Beijing doing enough to police its dual-use exports? And can Saudi Arabia convince investors and residents that Riyadh is safe? This is no longer just a Saudi-Houthi war. The next strike may be worse. Watch the full story.

Kerala CPI-M's Kannur lobby suffers setback as K.K. Jayachandran gets key CITU post
Digital Desk | Kottayam (Kerala), Nov 9 (IANS) In a setback to the Kannur lobby in the CPI-M's Kerala unit, state Secretariat member K.K. Jayachandran was elected the new CITU state General Secretary on Monday, defeating expectations that Kannur strongman and close aide of Pinarayi Vijayan, M.V. Jayarajan, would get the key post. Senior party leader and former minister V. Sivankutty was elected Treasurer, while T.P. Ramakrishnan will continue as CITU state President. The outcome is being seen as another indication of the declining influence of Vijayan and the Kannur lobby in the party following the Left Democratic Front's severe defeat in the April Assembly elections. Jayarajan had been widely tipped for the post, but the CITU leadership was reportedly against allowing Kannur to consolidate its hold over both the party and the trade union. The CPI-M had also insisted that the CITU General Secretary should be a member of its state secretariat. Outgoing Secretary Elamaram Kareem proposed Jayachandran's name at the CPI-M-CITU faction meeting, paving the way for his election. The leadership change comes amid unusually sharp criticism of the previous Pinarayi Vijayan government's performance at the three-day CITU state conference in Kottayam. Several speakers questioned the way the second Vijayan government (2021-26) handled labour issues and failed to address the concerns of workers. Former Industries Minister P. Rajeeve also came under criticism during the discussions. The report presented by Kareem was particularly critical of the previous government. It said workers had not received the attention they deserved and that the government had failed to ensure their rightful benefits. Even welfare fund benefits due to workers were delayed or denied, the report pointed out. The working class had not received what it expected from a Left government, it said. The report also linked the government's failure to address workers' grievances to the Left's electoral setback in April. CITU All-India Vice President Tapan Sen was also present for the conference.

The couple parted ways as they took divorce in 2018. The actress revealed she took the former couple's kids out of school and moved to London for 6 weeks while Ben was shooting a superhero movie in the UK and they used the time to explore Europe with trips to France and Italy. She recently appeared on the Happy Hour podcast, and said, When my kids were really little, I went to Paris. Ben was shooting some Batman-ish movie in London and we went for 6 weeks. I took them out of school. It was the last time I really took kids out of school, but it was wonderful. It was incredible. It was so fun. And part of that is that we bopped around. We went to Venice, we went to Paris. Jennifer revealed the podcast's host Ina Garten was the one who suggested the actress should explore Paris by boat.

Gujarat families avoid medical debt as 'Ayushman Bharat' covers costs
Digital Desk | Rajkot, Nov 9 (IANS) Two families in Gujarat have been able to avoid substantial medical expenses through the 'Ayushman Bharat' scheme, which covered the cost of surgeries and treatment that they said would otherwise have forced them to borrow money at interest. Jayantibhai Vadakia, a resident of Dharampur village in Chotila taluka, was suffering from kidney stones in both kidneys. His family's financial condition did not allow him to bear the cost of the operations. He subsequently underwent surgeries on both kidneys free of cost at Doshi Hospital in Rajkot district using his Ayushman Bharat card. The hospital also provided him with travel assistance of Rs 300 on two occasions. Recalling his experience, Vadakia said that without the health insurance card, he would have been forced to borrow money at interest to pay for the operations and could have fallen into debt. If we did not have the Ayushman card, we would have had to borrow money at interest for the operations. However, because of this scheme launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, our treatment was completely free. The facilities here are very good. This scheme is very helpful for poor and middle-class families, he said. In another case, the scheme helped a family meet the medical expenses of treating a tumour near the urinary bladder of Laxmanbhai. His son, Kanabhai, said doctors had estimated the cost of the operation and treatment at around Rs 50,000 to Rs 60,000, which was covered through the Ayushman card. Kanabhai said his family would otherwise have had to borrow the money or take a loan at interest to meet the expenses. My father underwent a urinary bladder surgery. The cost of the operation and treatment was around Rs 50,000 to Rs 60,000, which was covered through the Ayushman card. Without the card, we would have had to arrange the money either by borrowing or taking a loan at interest. This scheme is very helpful for small and poor families. The government has done good work for people from weaker sections, he said. Both beneficiaries said the scheme had helped their families access medical treatment without having to bear expenses that were beyond their financial means. Under the Ayushman BharatPradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana-Mukhyamantri Amrutam (PMJAY-MA) scheme in Gujarat, eligible families are entitled to cashless medical treatment worth up to Rs 10 lakh annually. The state government doubled the coverage from Rs five lakh to Rs 10 lakh in July 2023. The scheme covers secondary and tertiary hospitalisation at empanelled government and private hospitals. It also provides coverage for pre-existing conditions from the first day, without restrictions on family size or age.

Ayodhya To Decide UP 2027? Akhilesh Yadav's Visit Plan Sparks Political War
With the Uttar Pradesh elections approaching, Ayodhya has once again emerged as the epicentre of a high-stakes political battle. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav's planned visit to the Ram Janmabhoomi temple has triggered a sharp BJP response, reviving memories of the 1990 firing on karsevaks under the Mulayam Singh Yadav government. Adding another layer to the debate, Sonia Gandhi's reflections on the Babri Masjid demolition in her upcoming autobiography have brought the temple town back into national political discourse. As BJP's Hindutva narrative faces the INDIA bloc's PDA strategy, the big question remains: Will Ayodhya once again shape the political direction of Uttar Pradesh in 2027?

LeBron James says his family are 'safe' after man arrested for stalking at his L.A. home
Philadelphia 76ers star LeBron James said he was still looking into everything after a man was arrested at James' Los Angeles property on Friday. Speaking with reporters Sunday, James said his family was safe and called that the most important thing. He did not go into too much detail on the situation otherwise. Reports emerged Friday that a man was arrested for felony stalking after appearing at James' home in Brentwood, California. The LAPD was initially called out to investigate a report of a possible burglary at the residence, according to ESPN. Officers found a man on the property and arrested him for stalking , per ABCNews. The arrest was made without incident and no one was at James' home at the time of the arrest. The man reportedly did not go inside the house and was not armed, per police. Felony stalking can result in up to three years in state prison , a fine of up to $10,000 or both in California, according to Kann California Law Group. At the time of the incident, James was on a road trip with the 76ers. He returned to his old home, Cleveland, Friday evening, where he took on the Cavaliers.

'Friendship should rise above politics': BJP leader Gopalakrishnan defends Mammootty over home visit
Digital Desk | Thrissur (Kerala), Nov 9 (IANS) BJP's Kerala state Vice President B. Gopalakrishnan on Monday came out in defence of Malayalam superstar Mammootty, who has faced criticism on social media over his visit to his house to bless his daughter and son-in-law. Gopalakrishnan said there was no reason to view the visit through a political lens. He said he was extremely happy that Mammootty had taken the trouble to visit his house after missing the wedding. Love and friendship are much bigger than politics. That is why Mammootty came. Several senior political leaders also attended my daughter's wedding. Some divisive forces do not want Kerala to remain united and are trying to destroy such friendships. This should be taken as an example, he said. Mammootty visited Gopalakrishnan's house at Cheroor in Thrissur on Sunday. He had promised to attend the wedding of Gopalakrishnan's daughter Anagha and Anjith at Guruvayur on November 1 but could not make it. The actor had set out from Ernakulam for the wedding but had to turn back after getting caught in heavy traffic on the Aluva bridge. He later decided to visit the newlyweds personally. Mammootty reached the house at 5.25 p.m. and spent nearly an hour there before leaving at 6.20 p.m. Film producer Anto Joseph accompanied him. The actor had coffee and sweet potato and interacted with members of the family. Gopalakrishnan later shared photographs and videos of the visit on social media. Gopalakrishnan said former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan and Congress leader and Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala had attended the wedding after being personally invited by him. Former minister R. Bindu, who could not attend the function, had also visited his house later. I am a BJP worker, but politics is different from personal relationships. They are all my friends. There are no boundaries to love and friendship, he said. He criticised those attacking Mammootty on social media and said such attacks reflected their pettiness. He claimed that those behind the campaign were not genuine CPI-M workers. He also questioned why Mammootty's visit alone was being made controversial when several political leaders had attended the wedding. He said the visit was not a secret one and urged people to stop politicising a family occasion. Gopalakrishnan said Kerala needed more such friendships across political lines and that personal relationships should not be sacrificed to political differences.

Trump Shocks Israel With Iran War Repayment Demand After Republicans' Midterm Defeat
U.S. President Donald Trump has demanded that Israel and other American allies reimburse Washington for the costs of the ongoing war with Iran. Speaking in a CBS News 60 Minutes interview, Trump insisted that countries protected by the United States would repay the full cost of American military operations. Claiming that Israel would not exist without U.S. intervention, Trump defended strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and asserted that Washington had destroyed Tehran's nuclear capabilities. The demand comes as the reported Pentagon estimate for the conflict reaches forty-seven billion dollars, with billions spent on missile defence systems and military operations. Trump's remarks follow Republican losses in the midterm elections, amid mounting concerns over the war's financial burden, rising fuel prices and its political consequences.
'Stop Funding Munir's Army': Why Muslim US Senator Al-Sayed Is Flagging Trump's Military Aid To Pak
Why should American taxpayers fund foreign militaries accused of violating international law? Newly elected Muslim Senator Abdul Al-Sayed is challenging Washingtons military-aid model - and questioning US support for Pakistans military under Army chief Asim Munir. El-Sayed extends the argument demanding scrutiny of American aid to Israel and Egypt too, including billions of dollars in military financing and assistance. Can one senator stop US aid to Pakistan? Not by himself. But he can demand hearings, push for conditions, question arms transfers and force the administration to explain why American money continues to support foreign militaries. For Pakistan, this could be an early warning: the next debate over US support may be fought not in the Pentagon, but in congressional hearing rooms.

Magnus Carlsen to play London Chess Classic; India's Nihal Sarin too in the field
Digital Desk | London, Nov 9 (IANS) World No.1 and multiple-time World Champion, Magnus Carlsen will be competing in the Super Rapid tournament at this year's London Chess Classic, which will be played on December 5 and 6, 2026, at Novotel London West. Carlsen, the five-time World Champion in classical chess, has won the LCC Masters title a record four times. He'll be competing in London in preparation for the defence of his World Rapid and Blitz titles in Istanbul after Christmas. Carlsen will be facing a star-studded field which includes French star Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and Dutch number-one Anish Giri and India's Nihal Sarin. These three will be joined by the nine Grandmasters of the LCC Masters, headed by World No. 5, Nodirbek Abdusattorov, the players of the LCC Challengers, and many of the top seeds from the LCC Swiss. Also competing will be English chess sensation Bodhana Sivanandan, who recently became the youngest Woman Grandmaster in the history of the game. The Super Rapid tournament offers amateur chess players of all standards a unique chance not only to play in the same event as a true chess legend, but also to possibly play against Carlsen in one of the early rounds. The Swiss format for the draw means that in the first couple of games Carlsen is likely to be playing a much lower-rated opponent, the organisers of LCC informed on Monday. The Super Rapid is an Open tournament, meaning that anyone can take part and have a chance of playing against Magnus Carlsen. The Super Rapid will be the final competitive event in this year's XTX Markets London Chess Classic. The tournament will begin with an opening ceremony and drawing of lots at the iconic Tower of London, with the majority of games taking place alongside the LCC Festival at Novotel London West in Hammersmith. The London Chess Classic includes many tournaments -- regular and weekend events for part-timers. The LCC Masters is an elite invitation-only all-play-all tournament featuring ten of the world's top grandmasters, including reigning champion Nodirbek Abdusattorov, American grandmaster Levon Aronian, and Indian speed chess specialist Nihal Sarin. The LCC Challengers is an invitation-only all-play-all tournament giving some of the best up-and-coming talents the chance to qualify for next year's LCC Masters. The LCC Swiss is a 9-round classical tournament suitable for those seeking IM and GM norms.
