Afghan School Bombing; 19 students died

A bomb blast at a religious school in northern Afghanistan killed at least 19 students on Wednesday, a Taliban official said.

Interior Ministry spokesman Abdul Nafi Tagore said more people were injured in the blast in Aybak, the capital of northern Samangan province. No organization immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.

Reporter’s controversial question about the New Zealand-Finland Prime Minister’s meeting

It was the first time a Finnish prime minister had met a New Zealand prime minister, and the most viral moment of the visit was their response to a question at a press conference about their ages.

Jacinda Ardern, who has led New Zealand since 2017, hosted Finland’s leader since 2019, Sanna Marin, in Auckland on Wednesday. In a joint statement, the prime ministers said they discussed Ukrainian sovereignty, the climate crisis and their concerns for women and girls in Iran. They were shocked when a reporter told them at a joint press conference that they met because they were both young women.

“We, of course, have a high proportion of men in politics, that is true. “Just because two women meet, it’s not because of their gender,” Ardern said.

A reporter from New Zealand talk-radio station Newstalk ZB asked the two leaders, “A lot of people will wonder if you two are dating because you are the same age and have a lot in common. Can we expect to see more deals between the political or our two countries? he asked. A representative for Newstalk ZB did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

IS leader dies; A new leader takes over

IS has announced that its leader has been killed in battle, less than nine months after the jihadists claimed responsibility for the Islamic State group.

A US military spokesman overseeing US troops in Syria confirmed the IS leader’s death, saying the IS leader was killed by anti-government rebels in southern Syria in mid-October.

IS has chosen its new leader, but has not released any information about him.

The leadership change, announced in a voice message on Telegram, comes at a particularly vulnerable time for the group, which has struggled to maintain its relevance in just a few years from the world’s most feared terror network to a low-level insurgency.

Germany decides to relax visa rules for skilled workers

The German government said on Wednesday it plans to ease entry rules for migrants from outside the European Union to meet Germany’s demand for skilled workers.

Experts say Europe’s largest economy needs about 400,000 skilled immigrants each year as the country’s aging workforce declines, particularly to fill vacancies in the health care, information technology and construction sectors.

A labor shortage is putting Germany’s ambitious plans to develop renewable energy at risk, Economy Minister Robert Habeck said.
