A European humanitarian group says its migrant rescue ship is heading toward the French island of Corsica in hopes that France will offer its 234 passengers a safe port. France has not publicly offered to take the Ocean Viking, but spokesman Francesco Creazzo of the SOS Mediterranee group said the Norwegian-flagged ship was hoping France would eventually do so. The developments indicate Italy’s latest migration standoff is heading toward resolution after Italy backed down and allowed migrants from three other rescue ships to disembark on Italian soil.

Struggling to claw back power, Republicans are pushing state by state to break the Democrats’ one-party hold on Washington. The dragged-out fight is aimed at upending President Joe Biden’s once-lofty agenda. After all the polls closed, the Democrats’ fragile grasp on power remained at risk early Wednesday. Anxiety set in among Republicans. With the narrowly held House and an evenly split Senate, the Democrats faced a new generation of Republican candidates — among them political newcomers including 2020 election deniers and some extremists inspired by Donald Trump handily winning some seats.
Southeast Asian leaders are convening in Cambodia, faced with the challenge of trying to curtail escalating violence in Myanmar while the country’s military-led government shows no signs of complying with the group’s peace plan. U.S. President Joe Biden will attend the summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations just as Washington and Beijing are increasingly jockeying for influence in the region. It sets the stage for the Group of 20 meetings in Bali that immediately follow and are expected to include Chinese President Xi Jinping and possibly Russian President Vladimir Putin, then the APEC economic forum in Bangkok. By attending the ASEAN summit in person, Biden will be able to push American interests and demonstrate Washington’s commitment to the region.
The European Union’s asylum agency says the number of people applying for international protection in Europe has reached highs not seen since well over 1 million people sought refuge in 2015. The agency says the numbers could place strain on national asylum systems. It said Wednesday that about 84,500 people applied for asylum in August in the 27 EU member countries plus Norway and Switzerland. Around 255,000 others, most from Ukraine, sought some form of temporary protection. It’s a 16% increase over the month of July. Almost one third of applicants were from Afghanistan and Syria. The monthly numbers amount to about half of those recorded in late 2015. Many who apply are entering through the western Balkans.

A surge in COVID-19 cases has spurred lockdowns in the southern Chinese manufacturing hub of Guangzhou, adding to financial pressure that has disrupted global supply chains and sharply slowed growth in the world’s second-largest economy. Residents in districts encompassing almost 5 million people have been ordered to stay home at least through Sunday, with one member of each family allowed out once per day to purchase necessities. The order came Wednesday after the city of 13 million reported more than 2,500 cases over the previous 24 hours. China has retained its strict “zero-COVID” policy despite relatively low case numbers and no new deaths. The country’s borders remain largely closed and internal travel and trade is fraught with ever-changing quarantine regulations.

Israeli archeologists say they have found an ancient comb dating back to Canaanite times and bearing what is likely the oldest known full sentence in an alphabetical script. The 3,700-year-old inscription encourages people to comb their hair and beards to rid themselves of lice. Experts say the discovery shines new light on some of humanity’s earliest use of the alphabet. The sentence contains 17 letters that read: “May this tusk root out the lice of the hair and the beard.” The mundane topic indicates people had trouble with lice in everyday life during the time — archaeologists say they have even found microscopic evidence of head lice on the comb.
Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly led his Republican rival, venture capitalist Blake Masters, but the race that could determine which party controls the U.S. Senate was too early to call. Kelly has distanced himself from Democratic President Joe Biden and plays down his party affiliation. Masters has tried to penetrate Kelly’s independent image, calling him a rubber stamp for Biden. The Arizona race is one of a handful of contests that Republicans targeted in their bid to take control of what is now a 50-50 Senate.
Fish, rice, the river, mangrove trees and the sea. It’s not luxury. But for the farmers and fishermen who live by the world’s largest mangrove forest, it’s more than enough. Now, the environment is at risk. A power plant will start burning coal near the Sundarbans this year as part of Bangladesh’s plan to meet its energy needs and improve living standards, officials say. The developing world needs its people to live better. But economic growth can create environmental problems and make their lives worse. Bangladesh is already hit by tropical cyclones and rising seas and millions are at risk of being displaced by flooding and other extreme weather.
The race for governor of Arizona is putting the appeal of Donald Trump’s movement to the test in a crucial battleground state. It’s too early to call the contest between Republican Kari Lake, a former television news anchor, and Democrat Katie Hobbs, the secretary of state. Lake’s television-ready demeanor, confrontations with journalists and combative message for Democrats made the first-time candidate a rising star on the right. Lake faces Democrat Katie Hobbs, the secretary of state who rose to prominence defending the integrity of the 2020 election. President Joe Biden’s margin of victory was lower in Arizona than any other state.
A nationwide strike over the cost of living increases caused by runaway inflation and the war in Ukraine has snarled traffic through much of Belgium and hit companies. The main trade unions are insistent that workers have to be shielded from the impact of the price hikes that has driven up energy and food prices and left many on the edge of poverty while some companies continue to rake in huge profits. Most trains and public urban traffic were reduced to a minimum, increasing rush hour traffic jams and keeping many people from reaching their place of work. At airports, several planes had to be canceled and others suffered major delays.

Nissan’s profit declined 68% in the last quarter as a computer chips shortage hindered the Japanese automaker’s ability to deliver on orders. Nissan Motor Co. said Wednesday that its profit in the July-September quarter was 17.4 billion yen, or $119 million, down from 54 billion yen the year before. Quarterly sales jumped to 2.5 trillion yen, or $17 billion. Chief Executive Makoto Uchida said the company faces various headwinds, including shortages of semiconductors that have hit all automakers due to lockdowns and other restrictions related to the pandemic. A weak yen helped Nissan’s bottom line. But Uchida said he feels a stable currency is desirable.

A Hong Kong court has upheld the decision to let a veteran British lawyer defend pro-democracy newspaper publisher Jimmy Lai at his upcoming national security trial. Lai, the founder of the now-defunct Apple Daily, was arrested after Beijing imposed a sweeping national security law to crack down on dissent following widespread protests in 2019. He faces three charges of conspiracies to collude with a foreign country and a separate sedition charge. His trial is expected to begin on Dec. 1. Timothy Owen KC, a London-based legal veteran who specializes in criminal and human rights law, was granted court approval last month to represent Lai despite objections from the city’s secretary of justice and the Hong Kong Bar Association.

China’s government has appealed to Germany to maintain access to its markets after a company said Berlin may block the sale of a computer chip factory to a Chinese-owned buyer. Elmos said it was informed by Germany’s Economy Ministry that the sale to Silex Microsystems AB of Sweden “will most likely be prohibited.” German media say Silex is owned by Sai Microelectronics of China. Western governments are increasingly wary about China’s technology ambitions and assertive foreign policy. The United States and other governments have tightened controls on access to processor chip and other technology. A Chinese foreign ministry spokesman urged Germany to avoid “using national security as a pretext for protectionism.”
