US CALLS CHINA TRADE DEAL A 'MASSIVE VICTORY'
The White House says a new trade agreement with China is a massive victory that will safeguard the US economy and national security.
US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping struck the deal on Thursday in South Korea.
The US side released the details on Saturday.
The White House says China has agreed to suspend the export controls on rare earths announced in October.
It says the restrictions imposed by China in April this year and October 2022 will effectively be removed.
It says China will also suspend the retaliatory tariffs on US agricultural products that took effect in March.
The US side says an additional tariff on Chinese imports will be lowered to 10 percent from November 10.
This was imposed to curb the flow of the drug fentanyl.
But some experts say many of the agreed measures on tariffs are temporary and trade tensions could escalate again.

TURKEY TO HOST GAZA TALKS AS DEATH TOLL RISES
Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip have reportedly left more Palestinian people dead.

Israel claims Hamas violated the truce. More than 200 people in the territory have lost their lives since the ceasefire took effect in October.
The Turkish foreign minister said on Friday Istanbul will host a meeting of his counterparts from Middle Eastern and other countries.
Hakan Fidan noted the conference could take place as early as Monday.
Fidan indicated the participants will discuss ways to keep the ceasefire in place and ensure humanitarian aid can flow into Gaza. He said the attendees will talk about the creation of an international stabilization force as well.
UN ADOPTS RESOLUTION TO KEEP HUMAN CONTROL OF NUCLEAR ARMS
A UN General Assembly Committee on Disarmament has adopted a resolution to keep nuclear weapon systems under human control.
The aim is to prevent the weapons from being used in an unintended way by artificial intelligence.
Mexico and other members of the assembly's first committee proposed the resolution.
With the use of AI by the military in mind, the resolution expresses concern that technical issues could lead to serious consequences.
The resolution was adopted with 115 countries in favor and opposed by eight countries, including the United States and other nuclear powers.
Japan abstained, saying it took into consideration the balance between opportunity and risk brought by artificial intelligence.
Daniel Holtz is a professor at the University of Chicago and chair of the US Science magazine behind the Doomsday Clock that symbolizes how close the world is to destruction.
He commented on the integration of A.I. technology in the military field.

This is already happening the question of whether that continues all the way into nuclear.

REPORT: PIRATED MANGA CAUSES $55 BIL. IN LOSSES
A Japanese publishing watchdog says websites carrying pirated manga comics and other materials cause losses of about $55 billion per year.
The organization, ABJ, investigates unauthorized e-books.
In June, it monitored the number of visitors to over 900 websites and the time they spend on them.
The researchers estimate that visitors can read a manga that would otherwise cost 500 yen, or about 3 dollars, in 30 minutes.
They used that benchmark to estimate annual losses of about 55 billion dollars.

I think it is a very good measure to expose as many criminal cases as possible.
Also, it's necessary to make efforts to expand distribution of authorized versions.

They say the websites were accessed from all over the world, including Indonesia, Japan and the United States.
