Dozens of individuals have been accused of participating in the assassination of Jovenel Moïse, the former president of Haiti.
However, the two ongoing trials related to his killing are struggling to make progress and appear to be flailing.
The complexity of the case and various challenges have contributed to the delays and setbacks in delivering justice.

Former India coach Ravi Shastri defended Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s underwhelming performances during their international return in the first ODI against Australia at Optus Stadium on Sunday, October 19.
The veteran duo failed to reach double figures, getting dismissed early as India suffered a rain-curtailed seven-wicket loss against Mitchell Marsh and his team.
Rohit Sharma showed some promise by striking an early boundary after India opted to bat first in Shubman Gill’s debut match as ODI captain. However, the explosive opener was soon caught in the slip cordon, dismissed by a rising delivery from Josh Hazlewood in the fourth over.
Virat Kohli, on the other hand, appeared boxed in by the Australian seamers and strategic field placements inside the circle. He struggled to get off the mark and was eventually dismissed for an eight-ball duck, caught at point by Cooper Connolly off Mitchell Starc’s bowling.
Reflecting on their challenging return, Ravi Shastri explained that the experienced pair faced tough conditions and circumstances in their very first game after a long hiatus.
“I mean, they came back, they got caught on a dodgy pitch. It was a good toss to win for Australia and then the weather was such that it was not easy. When you come back from a long layoff, you are obviously going to be rusty,” Shastri said on ICC Review ahead of the second ODI.
He added, “It’s not easy for any overseas team to land in Australia, say, two days prior to a game in Perth and adjust to those conditions straight away—especially when you have that extra bounce and are playing against quality fast bowlers. But I think only time will tell. They’ll go to Adelaide, have some time off to get into the nets, get their minds sorted, and get back into action.”
Shastri also highlighted hunger and passion as critical factors for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the latter stages of their careers. He stressed that it would be unwise to rush into judgment based on just one game since their return.
“So I’m in no hurry to judge, but it’s when you come back at that age, after some time, it’s about how much you’re enjoying the sport and how much hunger is there and passion is left in you to play the game. So if you tick the boxes in two out of those three, especially the enjoyment part of it, then you can give them both time because they’ve got class, they’ve got experience, and a little bit of time will sort things out. But I’d rather wait than jump and judge immediately,” he elaborated.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are expected to feature in the upcoming second ODI against Australia at Adelaide Oval on Thursday, October 23. The hosts currently hold a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
### “He’s brutal on himself at times” — Ravi Shastri on workload and high expectations driving Virat Kohli into early Test retirement
With Virat Kohli having retired from T20 internationals and Test cricket, ODI cricket remains his sole focus. He stepped away from T20Is right after the 2024 T20 World Cup, while his surprising decision to retire from red-ball cricket came midway through the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL), ahead of the England tour.
Ravi Shastri reflected on Kohli’s self-demanding nature amid a hectic workload, which ultimately influenced his early retirement from Tests.
“Virat Kohli does not leave any stone unturned when it comes to preparation. He’s brutal on himself at times, and that might have taken its toll over a span of time that stretches back to 14-16 years of cricket. Then that enjoyment factor, that hunger factor, the same focus doesn’t exist. He does not have the appetite to put in the same amount of work day in day out and hence, that might have prompted him the decision (to retire), right or wrong, only time will tell,” Shastri said.
Virat Kohli concluded his illustrious Test career with 9,230 runs in 123 matches at an average of 46.85. His last Test appearance came during the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series finale at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).

Sanae Takaichi has just been confirmed as Japan’s first female prime minister. This historic milestone marks a significant moment in the country’s political landscape.
However, beyond her gender, what might be even more noteworthy is her unique taste for head-banging — both in music and politics. This distinctive trait sets her apart and may influence her leadership style in unexpected ways.
In the 1960s, conservative intellectual James Burnham wrote a book arguing that the decline of Western civilization was a self-imposed choice. His volume, famously titled *The Suicide of the West*, desperately needs an update—one that includes an epilogue about the United States’ growing dependence on China for the mining and processing of rare earth elements. This vulnerability ranks as one of the most fantastically self-damaging strategic missteps of our time.
China is exploiting its advantage in trade negotiations with the United States by restricting the supply of rare earths to gain leverage. A key focus of President Donald Trump’s recent meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was forging an agreement to jointly invest in critical-minerals projects. There has to be more where that came from. The United States must push on all fronts to address this truly dangerous strategic vulnerability.
Rare earth materials are crucial for manufacturing cars, smartphones, drones, medical devices, and, most importantly, high-tech weapons. For example, approximately 800 pounds of rare earths go into making a single F-35 fighter jet. Between 2019 and 2022, the Government Accountability Office reports, the United States imported more than 95% of the rare earths it consumed—and overwhelmingly from China.
It would be one thing if we relied on Norway or Canada—both allied nations with whom we have no prospect of military conflict (despite the occasional presidential joking about annexation). Instead, China, an adversary bent on surpassing the United States as a global power, is the country we are most likely to confront in a potentially ruinous war.
This scenario echoes the 1930s, when Imperial Japan imported 80% of its oil from the United States, even as it hurtled toward collision with American forces. Today, we are repeating that dynamic, except without a good reason, and playing the role of resource-starved Japan.
It’s a little like King Harold needing Norman goodwill to supply his men with shields in 1066 or Lord Nelson requiring French materials to build his ships of the line in 1798.
Not so long ago—in 1991—the United States was the biggest supplier of rare earths. Then, China undertook a concerted and highly successful effort to wrest the mining and processing of rare earths out from under us. It handed out tax rebates to boost production, bought a key U.S. rare-earths business, and shipped its equipment to China. Over time, it squeezed out the U.S. rare-earths industry and has maneuvered to maintain its dominance ever since.
This is industrial policy as highly consequential geopolitics.
There is no alternative but to respond in kind, which the Trump administration, to its credit, is now undertaking. According to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the administration will establish a price floor for the domestic rare-earths industry. The Defense Department has taken an equity stake in our largest rare-earths miner, with more such moves anticipated.
Public-private cooperation, akin to what characterized Trump’s Operation Warp Speed, is necessary, along with the relaxation of permitting and environmental restrictions. It will take years to make up lost ground, but with enough resources and staying power, this problem is solvable.
Friendly countries have ample supplies of rare earths. The bigger challenge is processing—the sector where China holds an almost complete monopoly. Processing requires specialized know-how and considerable time to build facilities. Still, this is not a technical or logistical challenge on the scale of, say, the Manhattan Project.
Of all the elements of our post–Cold War vacation from history—when defense spending, geography, and supply chains were no longer considered paramount—the outsourcing of the rare-earths industry to China was the most improvident.
If nothing else, China’s recent use of rare earths as a weapon in trade disputes is a cautionary signal of what could come during a more momentous conflict. We can’t say we weren’t warned.

**Israel Identifies Remains of Two More Hostages Returned from Gaza**
Israel’s National Institute of Forensic Medicine on Thursday identified the remains of two hostages returned from Gaza, as officials and families urged Hamas to hand over the bodies of those still held. The identified remains belong to Nova music festivalgoer Inbar Hayman and Sergeant Muhammad al-Atresh, both killed in the fighting on October 7, 2023, when Hamas-led militants attacked Israel, igniting the war.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office stated that Israel remains “determined, committed, and working tirelessly to bring back all our fallen hostages for proper burial in their homeland.”
Since Monday’s exchange, Hamas has returned 10 bodies, nine of which Israel’s military has confirmed as hostages. Israel reported there were 28 hostages in Gaza before the exchange. In return for the release of the hostages, Israel freed around 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees on Monday.

**Challenges in Recovering Remains Amid Gaza’s Destruction**
Hamas and the Red Cross have highlighted that recovering the remains has been challenging due to the extensive destruction in Gaza. Hamas has also informed mediators that some bodies are located in areas controlled by Israeli troops, complicating recovery efforts.

**UN Humanitarian Chief Visits Key Crossing to Boost Aid Deliveries**
On Thursday, the United Nations’ humanitarian chief visited a vital Israel-controlled crossing from Egypt into the Gaza Strip. The route serves as a critical lifeline for transporting food, medicine, tents, and other essential aid to ease hunger, disease, and collapsing sanitation systems in Gaza.
“This route is a vital lifeline for food, medicine, tents, and other lifesaving aid. We want to see it full of trucks, as part of a massive surge of aid following the peace deal,” said U.N. humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher via X.
However, Fletcher also cautioned that hopes raised by last week’s ceasefire could fade amid setbacks to aid delivery. The World Food Program described the situation as unpredictable. Fletcher urged Hamas to return the bodies of deceased hostages and called on Israel to honor the agreement by allowing the promised surge of humanitarian aid.

**Turkey Appoints Special Envoy to Coordinate Gaza Aid**
Turkey has appointed Ambassador Mehmet Gulluoglu as Coordinator for Humanitarian Aid to Palestine, tasked with coordinating humanitarian efforts and ensuring rapid aid delivery to Gaza. Already on the ground, Gulluoglu and his team will assess urgent needs, coordinate with U.N. agencies, support their operations, and liaise with authorities in Egypt and Jordan to manage logistics.
The envoy will also focus on enhancing medical support and oversee the evacuation of patients requiring urgent care.
In addition, Turkey’s emergency response authority, AFAD, has prepared to deploy an 81-person search and rescue team to assist in recovering missing bodies and removing debris, according to Turkish media reports. Turkish officials, however, declined to confirm these reports.
Since the conflict began in October 2023, Turkey has delivered 102,000 tons of aid to Gaza by sea and air. Following the ceasefire, an additional 865-ton shipment was dispatched by sea on October 14.

**Red Cross Facilitates Transfer of Remains**
Israel received the remains of two more hostages on Wednesday, transferred by the Red Cross from Hamas. Following the arrival of the two coffins in Israel, the military cautioned that formal identification was still pending.
“The parties must endeavor to facilitate the return of the remains of the deceased to their families. The ICRC can fulfill its functions as a neutral intermediary only through the cooperation of all actors, and within the framework of the current agreement,” the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) stated.
Israeli health and forensic authorities are currently responsible for confirming the identities of the deceased.

The first images of the new MG S6 EV have surfaced online, and somewhat amusingly, the source isn’t the automaker itself but Euro NCAP. The safety testing authority has unwittingly given us our first proper glimpse of the upcoming SUV.
### A Surprise First Look
MG has yet to release official photographs of the model, but its inclusion in Euro NCAP’s latest batch of crash-tested vehicles means we now have a reasonably clear look at its design—even if most of the images show it in a rather battered state.
Designing an SUV that looks good isn’t easy, but MG has certainly made a decent attempt with the S6. The front end is very similar to the smaller S5 and includes the same small, split front grille positioned at the very base of the bumper. The vehicle also features LED daytime running lights and separate headlamps housed within distinctive triangular-shaped elements.
At the rear, the S6 EV presents a sleek finish. The shape of the taillights and the continuous light bar are reminiscent of the Mercedes-Benz EQA, albeit with more complex lighting signatures. Additionally, the blacked-out bumper and sharp diffuser add to its sporty and modern look.
### What About the Interior?
While official images of the MG S6’s interior have yet to be released, the Euro NCAP crash test photos provide a few revealing glimpses. Between shots capturing airbags deploying into crash dummies, you can spot a squared-off steering wheel, a sizable central infotainment screen, and a head-up display positioned above the dashboard—all pointing toward a tech-forward cabin design.
### Safety and Specifications
On the safety front, the MG S6 EV scored a full five stars from Euro NCAP. It earned impressive ratings, including:
– 92% for adult protection
– 85% for child protection
– 84% for vulnerable road users
– 78% for driver-assist technologies
Although the report doesn’t detail drivetrain specifics, it confirms that both two-wheel and four-wheel-drive variants are planned. It is likely that the S6 will share the same single-motor rear-wheel-drive setup as the S5, which produces 228 hp and 258 lb-ft (350 Nm) of torque.
The all-wheel-drive version is expected to add a secondary motor up front, creating a dual-motor configuration with balanced output and broader appeal to prospective buyers.
### When to Expect the Reveal?
MG officials have confirmed that the full reveal of the S6 EV is scheduled for the end of November. Until then, these unexpected Euro NCAP images offer the best look at MG’s latest electric SUV, which promises to shake up the market with its design, safety, and performance credentials.
Stay tuned for more updates as the launch approaches!

Eric Trump, co-founder of World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and son of U.S. President Donald Trump, has revealed plans to bring blockchain innovation into real estate by tokenizing a new building project currently under development. This initiative marks one of the first major steps in merging the Trump family’s property ventures with decentralized finance (DeFi).
## Trump’s Vision for Blockchain-Backed Real Estate
In an interview set to air next week, Eric Trump explained that the project aims to allow public ownership of individual properties by issuing digital tokens through WLFI’s blockchain network. This model will let investors purchase fractional stakes in real estate, lowering barriers to entry and expanding access to global participants.
“We’re currently implementing this model for a specific building I’m developing, and I think the results will be incredible,” Trump said.
He added that tokenization not only democratizes property ownership but also replaces the need for traditional financing from institutions like Deutsche Bank, enabling direct engagement with the public.
Trump noted that the concept would resonate strongly with his family’s global supporter base: “If I decide to build a hotel in Washington, Dubai, or New York, why not let the people who believe in our vision invest directly?”
## A Shift in the Trump Real Estate Model
The announcement comes shortly after WLFI co-founder Zach Witkoff hinted at broader plans to migrate parts of the Trump Organization’s real estate portfolio onto blockchain during the Token2049 conference in Singapore earlier this month.
This strategy aligns with a growing movement among financial institutions and asset managers embracing tokenization—the process of converting traditional assets such as real estate, bonds, or equity into blockchain-based tokens.
Proponents argue that tokenization can unlock liquidity, streamline transactions, and attract new classes of investors through digital markets.
## How the Project Will Work
Under Trump’s proposed structure, investors will be able to purchase fractional ownership in the new property starting from $1,000. Investors will gain access to both financial returns and real-world perks such as hotel privileges and exclusive access benefits.
The system will operate within the World Liberty Financial ecosystem, using its USD1 stablecoin for transactions and settlements.
Founded in 2024, WLFI aims to blend traditional finance with decentralized infrastructure, offering blockchain-based savings, loans, and tokenized investment products.
While full technical details are still under wraps, Trump said the building tokenization initiative is intended to serve as a proof of concept for larger real estate ventures within the WLFI network.
## A Step Toward Decentralized Property Investment
If successful, the project could signal a major transformation in real estate investment, demonstrating how blockchain can make high-value assets accessible to retail investors worldwide.
Tokenized property markets have gained momentum globally, with several European and Middle Eastern developers already experimenting with blockchain-backed real estate sales.
However, the Trump-backed model would be among the first large-scale U.S. implementations directly tied to a DeFi ecosystem.
As Trump summarized, “This isn’t just about technology—it’s about freedom. Real estate shouldn’t be limited to billionaires and banks. It should be something anyone can participate in.”

**Nasdaq Unveils Advanced AI Enhancements to Market Surveillance Platform**
Nasdaq, Inc. has announced a series of significant enhancements to its market surveillance platform following the successful completion of a pilot that embedded advanced AI functionality throughout every stage of market abuse investigation.
The platform, already trusted by financial institutions worldwide—including 50 exchanges and 20 international regulators—offers cutting-edge capabilities that cover the entire investigation spectrum, from anomaly detection to regulatory enforcement.
**Addressing Sophisticated Market Manipulation**
“Manipulative actors are increasingly coordinating sophisticated schemes through indirect relationships that evade traditional detection methods, demanding equally sophisticated tools that can unmask hidden connections and advance at a faster rate than the threats we face,” said Edward Probst, Head of Regulatory Technology at Nasdaq.
With growing adoption of these enhanced functionalities, Nasdaq is uniquely positioned to leverage the collective strength of its client community in upholding the integrity of global capital markets.
**Challenges with Traditional Detection Methods**
As market manipulation schemes become more sophisticated across jurisdictions, reliance on manual detection processes has proven increasingly ineffective and labor-intensive.
Nasdaq’s new AI-driven detection capabilities utilize extensive industry and internal data sets to deliver comprehensive activity assessments and predictive analytics, dramatically improving detection accuracy while reducing false positives. This empowers market operators and participants to more precisely identify high-risk activities and instruments.
These added AI features build upon existing platform functionalities that streamline the triage and examination processes for suspected abuse cases, enabling global regulators to accelerate enforcement actions against market misconduct.
Nasdaq plans to roll out these enhancements to all market surveillance platform customers starting in Q4 2025.
**Transforming Market Abuse Detection, Analysis, and Regulatory Review**
During a strategic partnership with the Capital Markets Authority of Saudi Arabia, the pilot AI-powered anomaly detection tools were employed to identify unusual activity linked to predefined behavioral patterns.
The pilot achieved an 80% identification rate of pump-and-dump schemes using historical data—significantly outperforming traditional detection methods.
“We welcome the opportunity to partner with Nasdaq and demonstrate our relentless commitment to maintaining the trust and integrity of Saudi Arabia’s capital market,” said Saeed Ali Juraybi, Director of Market Surveillance and Analysis at the Capital Markets Authority of Saudi Arabia.
“The dramatic improvement in detection accuracy experienced during the pilot validates the transformative potential of these AI capabilities. Global capital markets face increasingly sophisticated, cross-border threats, and this technology represents a quantum leap in our ability to identify and combat market manipulation.
By working collectively to develop and enhance innovative new tools, we can stay ahead of emerging threats.”
**Tailored Surveillance Across Global Markets**
Nasdaq’s surveillance technology supports the world’s most comprehensive range of asset classes and market structures, connecting to vast data sets throughout the lifecycle of trades and subsequent review processes.
“Each market segment benefits from tailored multi-agent behaviors adapted to specific trading patterns and regulatory requirements,” explained Tony Sio, Head of Regulatory Strategy and Innovation at Nasdaq.
“The platform’s machine learning models continuously learn and adapt to new market conditions and manipulation tactics. This dynamic defense system equips market operators and regulators to stay one step ahead of sophisticated market abuse schemes.”
**Broad Commitment to Fighting Financial Crime**
As part of Nasdaq’s broader mission to combat financial crime, Nasdaq Verafin recently introduced the Agentic AI Workforce—a suite of digital workers designed to revolutionize the efficiency and effectiveness of financial institutions’ anti-money laundering (AML) programs.
Globally, Nasdaq’s technology serves 97% of systematically important banks, half of the world’s top 25 stock exchanges, 35 central banks and regulatory authorities, and over 3,800 clients across the financial services industry.
Leveraging deep industry experience, technological expertise, and cloud-managed services, Nasdaq continues to help financial services firms solve complex operational challenges while driving modernization across the industry.
