Ramzan Kadyrov, head of Russia's Chechnya region and close ally of President Vladimir Putin, proposed on Saturday that a presidential election due next March should either be postponed due to the war in Ukraine or limited to one candidate - Putin. The Kremlin leader, who turned 71 on Saturday, has said he will not announce if he will run before parliament calls the election, which by law it is due to do in December. Putin has dominated Russia for more than two decades and, having suppressed all significant political opposition, would be all but certain to win an election and, as widely expected, extend his stay in the Kremlin to 2030.

The global cryptocurrency market remains badly scarred following the tumultuous collapse of crypto exchange FTX and other big players last year, with crypto prices, volumes and venture capital investment well below their 2021 peaks. Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX, stands trial in New York on Tuesday, charged with seven counts of fraud and conspiracy stemming from the exchange's abrupt collapse in November 2022. He has pleaded not guilty. FTX was one in a series of industry meltdowns that sent bitcoin crashing to its lowest price since 2020.

BEIJING/TAIPEI China on Monday extended an investigation into what it calls Taiwan's trade barriers against it by three months to the eve of the island's presidential election, prompting Taipei to accuse Beijing of attempting to interfere in the vote. Taiwan, which China claims as its own territory, frequently accuses Beijing of seeking to exert pressure, whether military or economic, to sway the outcome of its elections to ensure an outcome favourable to the Chinese government. China's Commerce Ministry originally announced the probe into what it says are Taiwan's trade barriers in April, but has now extended the investigation period to Jan 12, one day before Taiwan's presidential and parliamentary elections.

GSK plc clinched a partnership with Chinese vaccine maker Chongqing Zhifei Biological Products Co to boost sales of its blockbuster shingles immunisation locally.   Under the agreement, GSK will sell £2.5 billion worth of its Shingrix shot to Zhifei over a three-year period. The Chinese company, which already distributes Merck & Co's Gardasil, will promote the shot across 30,000 vaccination points to spur its uptake, GSK said in a statement on Monday. Tapping growing demand among China's swelling ranks of senior citizens could help GSK reach its goal of doubling Shingrix's revenue to more than £4 billion by 2026 - especially as demand cools in other markets.

The surprise assault by Hamas against Israel was a meticulously planned offensive that the Palestinian militant group is capable of keeping up, with a risk of even greater escalation, analysts say. Hamas can count on a deep arsenal of rockets to use against Israel but key questions include how much support it has received from Iran, which has expressed its backing for the offensive, and whether the Tehran-backed Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah will enter the fray. More than 700 Israelis have been killed in the country's worst losses since the 1973 Yom Kippur war -- when it was also caught flat-footed by a combined Egyptian and Syrian attack -- and over 400 Palestinians slain as Israel presses a relentless bombardment of Hamas' Gaza stronghold.

Beneath the shimmering cliffs of Mount Alburno a herd of the royal breed of Persano, manes streaming in the morning sun, galloped into the scrubby fields of their ancestors. Riding with them was Prince Alduino Ventimiglia di Monteforte, 68, a former champion showjumper, who rescued the breed and negotiated their return to this military base and former royal hunting lodge.

PARIS, France  -Despite mounting efforts to limit climate change, the OPEC oil cartel said Monday it expects demand for crude to continue to grow for the next two decades.

What are the directions for Ireland? How might I answer this question? It all depends on your location of origin when traveling to Ireland. I might say: From North America, Ireland is just east of Gander, Newfoundland, Canada, as an airplane flies, just under 2,000 miles . Gander International Airport was a crucial international refueling station for the Great Circle Route and during World War II. My late father Martin J. Walsh Jr. stopped there on his 1953 trip to Ireland, sending and writing postcards home to his folks in rural Murdock, Minnesota.
