The president-elect of the Maldives said he will stick to his campaign promise to remove Indian military personnel stationed in the archipelago state, promising he would initiate the process. Mohamed Muiz told his supporters gathered Monday night at a celebration of his election victory that he wouldn't stand for a foreign military staying in the Maldives against the will of its citizens. It’s a serious blow to India in its geopolitical rivalry with China in the India Ocean region, where the Maldives' presidential runoff election Saturday was seen as a virtual referendum on which of the regional powers would have the biggest influence on the archipelago.

STORY: Twelve infants died in one day at a hospital in the Indian state of Maharashtra on Sunday (October 1), sparking a political storm in the days that followed.The fatalities were among 24 deaths at the Shankarrao Chavan Government Hospital in the Nanded district, according to hospital officials and local media.Opposition politicians accused the regional government and hospital authorities of gross negligence on Tuesday (October 3).Ramesh Chokovasadavarti's child died at the hospital. “We were told that our child had gangrene and surgery was required to remove the infection. They asked for our consent and we got scared and signed on the consent form and later, his dead body came out."Another man whose nephew died said the neo-natal unit of the hospital was very crowded on Sunday. He said there were four to five babies in one incubator, which was otherwise designed to hold just one infant.The dean of the hospital did not respond to a Reuters request for comment on this allegation or opposition accusations of negligence. But speaking to ANI news agency earlier on Tuesday, he said the adult patients died of various ailments including diabetes, liver failure and kidney failure.The Maharashtra government, run by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party and an ally, has launched an inquiry into the deaths.Here's the state's chief minister, Eknath Shinde."The tragedy of Nanded government hospital has been taken with utmost sincerity by the government and in the morning I had called both the secretaries and obtained preliminary information from them. There was no shortage of medicine in the hospital and doctor and staff were present there."At the Shankarrao Chavan hospital on Tuesday, patients crowded the corridors and pigs roamed the premises outside. The chaos outlines wider disarray at most government-run hospitals in the world's most populous country.India's public healthcare system is woefully ill-equipped - plagued by a lack of staff and equipment. Sunday's deaths were the second such episode in Maharashtra in as many months. In August, local media reported that 18 people admitted to a state-run hospital in the Thane region died over a 24-hour period.

Russian air defenses shot down 31 Ukrainian drones in a nighttime attack on border regions, the Russian Defense Ministry said Wednesday, in what appeared to be Kyiv’s largest single cross-border drone assault reported by Moscow since it launched its invasion 20 months ago. The Defense Ministry didn’t provide any evidence for its claims nor any details about whether there were any damage or casualties. Moscow’s claims could not be independently verified, and Ukrainian officials made no immediate comment.
Former US president Donald Trump was in court Monday for what he slammed as a "sham" civil fraud trial against him and two of his sons, with the case threatening the Republican's business empire as he campaigns to retake the White House.

Tunisia on Monday announced it would reject an installment of funds sent by Europe to help the debt-ridden country patrol the Mediterranean Sea as migrant boat crossings spike to levels not seen in several years. President Kais Saied on Monday accused the European Union of not following through on agreements made earlier this year to help Tunisia patrol its borders, curb smuggling and balance its federal budget. “The treasures of the world are not equal to a single grain of our sovereignty in the eyes of our people,” Saied said in a statement published on TAP, the country's official news agency.
MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) -Chief executives, business organisations and lawmakers from northern England were scratching their heads on Monday over when Prime Minister Rishi Sunak would announce a decision to scrap or delay the northern leg of Britain's HS2 high-speed rail project. While most agreed Sunak had most probably decided to delay the stretch running from the central English city of Birmingham to Manchester, the northern English host of the governing Conservative Party's conference, they said they were puzzled, and frustrated over why it had not yet been announced. A source from Sunak's Number 10 office said on Monday no final decision had been taken on HS2, a message government ministers have been repeating for weeks.

A combative Donald Trump lashed out at the judge and attorney general on Monday on the first day of a trial for civil fraud that could see the former president barred from doing business in New York state.The 77-year-old Trump, who is facing legal battles on several fronts, denounced the business fraud case as a "sham" intended to torpedo his bid to recapture the White House next year."This has to do with election interference, plain and simple," Trump said as he arrived for the opening day of what could be a three-month trial. "What we have here is an attempt to hurt me in an election."New York Judge Arthur Engoron has already ruled that Trump and his sons Eric and Don Jr committed fraud by inflating the value of the real estate and financial assets of the Trump Organization for years.New York Attorney General Letitia James is now seeking $250 million in penalties and the removal of Trump and his sons from management of the family empire."Justice will prevail," James told reporters. "No matter how powerful you are, no matter how much money you think you may have, no one is above the law."Trump was not required to attend the opening day of the trial but chose to do so, taking a seat at the defense table flanked by his lawyers."It's a scam. It's a sham," he told reporters before entering the Manhattan courtroom. "My financial statements are phenomenal."During a lunch break, a visibly angry Trump condemned what he called a "disgraceful trial put forward by an attorney general who is corrupt." There is no jury in the trial, meaning Trump's fate is entirely in Engoron's hands -- which did not dissuade the former president from branding him a "rogue" Democratic judge who should be "disbarred."The New York case is the first of a number of upcoming trials for the former president.Trump is scheduled to appear before a federal judge in Washington on March 4, 2024 on charges of trying to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election won by Democrat Joe Biden.Trump will then be back in New York state court, this time on charges of paying hush money to a porn star, and later in a federal court in Florida, where he is accused of mishandling classified documents after leaving office.Finally, he will also have to answer to state charges in Georgia, where prosecutors say Trump illegally tried to get the southern state's 2020 election results changed in his favor.- Trump expected to testify -In the New York case, Engoron ruled that Trump, his two eldest sons and other Trump Organization executives lied to tax collectors, lenders and insurers for years in a scheme that exaggerated the value of their properties by $812 million to $2.2 billion between 2014 and 2021.The judge revoked the business licenses that allowed the Trump Organization to operate some of its New York properties, a move known as the "corporate death penalty."Trump -- who made his reputation and fortune as a real estate mogul in the 1980s -- could lose control over many of his company's flagship properties, such as his 5th Avenue Trump Tower in Manhattan.According to James, a Democrat, Trump's own apartment in that building is among the spaces that were fraudulently overvalued -- it was listed as three times bigger than its true size.Another Manhattan building, at 40 Wall Street, was overvalued between $200-$300 million in financial disclosures, James alleges.Trump's luxury Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida -- the site of the classified documents drama -- and several other Trump Organization golf clubs also appear in James's complaint.There are likely to be dozens of witnesses called to testify at the trial, including Trump himself and three of his children, Eric, Don Jr and his oldest daughter Ivanka.Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen -- now an outspoken critic of the former president -- and officials from Trump-linked financial institutions are also expected to appear.bur/cl/st
