Dhaka, November 12 (Thursday)

Two major developments have come to the forefront on the international stage today. On one side, Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a major prisoner exchange. On the other side, world leaders at the ongoing United Nations Climate Summit in Antalya, Turkey have raised the demand for climate justice.

International media reported that in a meeting held in Abu Dhabi with the mediation of the United States, Russia and Ukraine agreed to a large prisoner exchange. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is currently on a visit to Dublin, Ireland. From there, he described this exchange as a humanitarian progress. However, the United States said that there is still a lack of trust in the peace talks.

Meanwhile, news of a Russian missile attack on Kyiv last night has also been received. A shopping center and an industrial area were damaged in it. In this situation, the news of the prisoner exchange has brought some relief to war-torn families.

On the other hand, at the climate summit, the UN Secretary-General said that the polluters must pay compensation. He said that although rich countries have made promises, they are not properly providing the climate fund money. As a result, affected countries like Bangladesh are suffering the most. The Iranian President also blamed the US and Israel at the summit, saying that the war has caused 1.5 million tons of carbon emissions.

Another discussed news of today is that one person was killed and more than 10 injured, including children, when a three-story building collapsed in Brooklyn, New York.

International analysts say that next week at the APEC Summit in China, a meeting between Trump, Xi Jinping and Putin may take place. There, major decisions on trade, AI and security may come.
