autotldr Bot , in Drivers in Argentina wait in long lines to fill up the tanks as presidential election looms

đŸ€– I’m a bot that provides automatic summaries for articles:

Click here to see the summaryEconomy Minister Sergio Massa, one of the two remaining presidential candidates, blamed oil companies for a lack of supply in the South American country and threatened to prohibit their exports if the situation failed to normalize immediately. The country’s oil companies, meanwhile, blamed the shortfall on a serious of unrelated events in recent days, but sought to head off any continued hoarding or panic buying by reassuring the public that their capacity to produce was “robust.” There was an uptick in demand even before the country’s first round of the presidential election on Oct. 22, when Massa received 37% of the vote, but not enough to avoid a Nov. 19 runoff against Milei, who won 30%. Argentines are enduring an annual inflation rate of almost 140% and the prospect of additional uncertainty and price rises as a result of the election prompted many residents to rush to stock up on goods ahead of the first round of the vote. The local price of gas at the pump is tightly controlled by the government and is lower than what companies can receive in the international market. “Shortages and inflation are the direct consequences of the model defended by this government of criminals, with Minister Massa at the helm,” Milei wrote on social media. — Saved 62% of original text.

autotldr Bot , in Nearly 100 dead or missing in Mexico from hurricane, food and water worries persist

Click here to see the summaryACAPULCO, Mexico, Oct 30 (Reuters) - The number of people dead and missing due to Hurricane Otis, a Category 5 storm which hammered the Mexican Pacific resort city of Acapulco last week, has risen to close to 100, authorities in the state of Guerrero said on Monday. On Sunday afternoon, Mexico’s federal civil protection authorities said there were 48 dead, consisting of 43 in Acapulco and five in nearby Coyuca de Benitez. Salgado provided the figures on the phone with President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who during a regular government press conference urged local authorities to ensure that basic goods were being delivered to Acapulco’s population. The cost of damage from the hurricane could climb as high as $15 billion according to estimates, and Mexico has sent some 17,000 members of the armed forces to keep order and help distribute tonnes of food and supplies in Acapulco. The disaster struck Acapulco barely seven months before Mexico’s next presidential election, and Lopez Obrador on Monday reiterated his claim that critics were attacking his response to Otis and inflating its impact for electoral reasons. His fiery political broadsides triggered criticism that Lopez Obrador was downplaying the gravity of the disaster. — Saved 53% of original text.

Click here to see the summaryDespite a greyish brown smog settling, some 30,000 marathoners set off at 7:30 a.m. (2330 GMT) from Tiananmen Square on the route through four districts of the Chinese capital over 42.195 km (26.2 miles). In the Haidian district on Beijing’s outskirts, the sky looked dreary, but hikers and visitors showed up at the Fragrant Hills Park where many go to enjoy autumn foliage, according to a Reuters witness. China’s national forecaster advised the public to wear masks, warning on Sunday morning that air quality was reaching moderate or severe pollution. Smog and fog will blanket parts of China for the next few days, reducing visibility and affecting travel in northeastern, northern, central and some eastern provinces, the National Meteorological Center said on Sunday. Steel production hubs in Tangshan, Handan and other cities in the northern province of Hebei launched emergency responses on Friday after heavy air pollution forecasts. Parts of China, including in the north and northeast, have been experiencing temperatures 2 to 4 degrees Celsius (4-7 Fahrenheit) higher than normal the past 10 days. — Saved 62% of original text.

This is humanity. Don’t think you’re better than them because you live in America and pay others to do the work for you via tax.

t3rmit3 , (edited )

Nah, don’t try to “both sides” this; they’re actively pushing this into a genocide as we speak, and most of the world is sitting back and watching in horror while people like you try to minimize it.

“Sitting at home, looking on in horror and unable to do anything, you’re just as bad as the people literally murdering thousands.”

Fuck the Israeli government, and all who support them.

at least 27 now dead according to the Washington Post. i’d assume this will go up substantially since Acapulco is not exactly hurricane resilient and there is catastrophic damage to most of the city

autotldr Bot , in China, Philippines trade accusations over South China Sea clash

đŸ€– I’m a bot that provides automatic summaries for articles:

Click here to see the summaryThe two countries have had numerous run-ins in the South China Sea in recent months, especially near the disputed Second Thomas Shoal, part of the Spratly Islands. The Philippines has sent supplies to troops stationed on a rusted World War Two-era transport ship used as an outpost on the shoal, prompting China’s coastguard to repeatedly deploy vessels to block the resupply missions. Beijing claims sovereignty over almost the entire South China Sea, including parts of the exclusive economic zones of Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam. Manila’s relations with Beijing have soured under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who has strengthened military engagement with Washington since taking office last year. China’s coastguard said in a statement the Philippine vessel had ignored repeated warnings, crossed the bow of the Chinese ship and “deliberately provoked trouble”, causing the collision. Manila grounded the BRP Sierra Madre warship in 1999 as part of its sovereignty claim to the Second Thomas Shoal, which lies within its 200-mile exclusive economic zone. — Saved 72% of original text.

autotldr Bot , in SAS had ‘gone too far’ in Afghanistan, inquiry into claims of unlawful killings told

đŸ€– I’m a bot that provides automatic summaries for articles:

Click here to see the summarySenior figures in Downing Street were calling in 2016 for the SAS to have its “wings clipped” as it emerged that a growing number of suspected murders of Afghan civilians were being investigated by military police. Critics of the elite unit’s behaviour were led by Jeremy Heywood, who at the time was cabinet secretary to the then prime minister, Theresa May, according to a memo cited last week during a public inquiry into allegations of unlawful SAS killings in Afghanistan. The note, written by the head of Britain’s military police, David Neal, in September 2016, records there were “no shortage of detractors” in Whitehall of SAS conduct, amid direct criticism from other senior officials. The previous day, Neal had met Stephen Lovegrove, the most senior civil servant at the Ministry of Defence (MoD), who warned he was “troubled” by a culture within Britain’s special forces. The barrister went on to argue that the inquiry, chaired by Lord Justice Haddon-Cave, needed to establish whether military police investigations “may have been tainted by political pressure and improper interference”. However, two legal challenges on behalf of victims’ families and investigative journalism by the BBC and others led to the release of internal MoD material that persuaded the former defence secretary Ben Wallace to commission a public inquiry, which is continuing. — Saved 64% of original text.

autotldr Bot , in China's Xi offers to help Sri Lanka; buy more of its exports

Click here to see the summaryBEIJING, Oct 20 (Reuters) - China is willing to offer assistance to Sri Lanka without political conditions and buy more of its exports, President Xi Jinping told his Sri Lankan counterpart on Friday in Beijing, state media said. “The two sides should make every effort to promote Colombo port city and Hambantota,” Xi told Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe, a summary of their meeting showed, referring to major projects China has backed in its ‘Belt and Road’ effort. Wickremesinghe was in the Chinese capital for the Belt and Road Forum that ended on Wednesday as well as talks on restructuring debt. “China is willing to continue to provide assistance to Sri Lanka without attaching political conditions, to help it cope with the difficulties it faces,” Xi added. Last May Sri Lanka defaulted on its foreign debt as dollar reserves fell to a point where it was unable to pay for essential imports such as fuel and medicine. “China is willing to expand the import of Sri Lanka’s 
 products and will encourage Chinese enterprises to invest,” Xi said. — Saved 19% of original text.

She added: “What concerns us deeply is that this isn’t the first instance where the facts are being justified by wrongly placing blame on the victim, in this case, a 10-year-old girl who is unjustly accused of seducing and provoking the adult man.” BĂĄrbara JimĂ©nez-Santiago, Equality Now’s regional representative for Latin America and the Caribbean, said: “The Bolivian state must safeguard her privacy and wellbeing and ensure her protection from further victimisation.” In January, Brisa De Angulo, a rape survivor and campaigner for child victims of sexual abuse, won a groundbreaking case against the state of Bolivia. — Saved 59% of original text.

Click here to see the summaryA US Navy warship operating in the Middle East intercepted multiple projectiles near the coast of Yemen on Thursday, two US officials told CNN. Gen. Pat Ryder confirmed that the USS Carney shot down three land attack missiles as well as several drones that were launched by Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen. “This action was a demonstration of the integrated air and missile defense architecture that we built in the Middle East and that we are prepared to utilize whenever necessary to protect our partners and our interest in this important region,” he said at a news briefing. US Fleet Forces command said in a social media post that it would “help ensure maritime security and stability in the Middle East.” The incident was one of a series in recent days with US bases being targeted by drones in Syria and Iraq amid increasing tensions in the region as the war between Israel and Hamas continues. No attack occurred, but personnel sheltered in place and an American civilian contractor suffered a cardiac episode and died shortly thereafter, Ryder said. — Saved 66% of original text.
