Developing African economies were only beginning to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic when Russia's invasion of Ukraine provoked capital market turmoil and an inflation acceleration that sent food prices soaring. The continent, meanwhile, was already struggling with extreme weather events, including drought, flooding, and cyclones, aggravated by climate change.

Singapore's government issued a warning to the bureau chief of  The Economist  for allegedly meddling in domestic politics.  The Ministry of Communications and Information said bureau chief Dominic Ziegler last month endorsed a local digital magazine called  Jom , and asked Singaporeans to embrace an alternative vision to what was being offered by the government and local media. 'Ziegler's action clearly crossed the line from reporting on Singapore to participating in Singapore's domestic affairs,' the ministry said in a statement.

Jocel Lyn Ninobla gained prominence as poomsae queen in the region after a third consecutive gold medal in the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games last month in Cambodia. Tapping her for the lone women's individual gold medal that will be staked in the 19th Asian Games (Asiad) in Hangzhou, China, in September is a no-brainer. 'It's a different level, but I'll be up for the challenge,'' said the 26-year-old Ninobla, whose hat trick in the SEA Games came in the women's team with rookies Aidaine Laxa and Nicole Labayne.

Japanese scientist Kikunae Ikeda first proposed umami as a basic taste — in addition to sweet, sour, salty and bitter — in the early 1900s. About eight decades later, the scientific community officially agreed with him. Now, scientists led by researchers at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences have evidence of a sixth basic taste. In research published Oct. 10 in Nature Communications, USC Dornsife neuroscientist Emily Liman and her team found that the tongue responds to ammonium chloride through the same protein receptor that signals sour taste.
