1. COP31 climate summit opens in Antalya, with leaders urging faster action
The UN's COP31 climate conference opened Monday in Antalya, Turkey, running 9–20 November with nearly 200 countries under growing pressure to turn pledges into concrete cuts and climate finance for vulnerable nations. Turkey holds the presidency in a new "dual-chair" model; opening-day talks focus on food, agriculture and health, and the U.S. is sending no senior representative.
2. Trump signals no Iran escalation as Gulf incidents continue; oil slips below $100 In a CBS 60 Minutes interview, President Trump said he was "not looking to" escalate the Iran conflict and that fresh strikes were "highly unlikely" if talks progress. Yet incidents continued: a U.S. strike hit Qeshm Island (Iran said no vital infrastructure was damaged), another tanker caught fire east of Hormuz, three projectiles were launched from Sirik, and a Houthi-claimed strike damaged an Aramco building in Riyadh — even as Brent crude fell back below $100.
3. Global markets rebound after last week's AI rout; Asia leads recovery
Asian shares and U.S. futures steadied Monday after a wild week: MSCI's Asia-Pacific index ex-Japan rose 0.8% after sliding 4.6% last week, Japan's Nikkei jumped about 2.5%, and European futures were flat-to-positive as AI-regulation fears and Middle East jitters eased. Key tests this week include AI earnings from CoreWeave, Applied Materials and Cisco, plus U.S. inflation data.
4. Trump–Xi tariff deal details emerge ahead of APEC summit in Shenzhen
Details of the Busan breakthrough showed the U.S. halving the 20% fentanyl-linked tariff on Chinese goods to 10%, cutting the overall U.S. tariff rate on Chinese imports from about 57% to 47%, while Beijing paused new rare-earth export controls for a year.
Trump and Xi are set to meet 18–19 November on the sidelines of the APEC leaders' summit in Shenzhen, and again at the G20 in Miami in mid-December.
5. Egypt train collision near Cairo kills 7 and injures 112
Two passenger trains collided Sunday in Giza governorate — one traveling from Giza to Fayoum rear-ended another heading south to Aswan — derailing carriages in the Al-Ayyat district. The death toll rose to seven with 112 injured; 72 ambulances evacuated victims to three hospitals, and President Sisi ordered an urgent investigation to hold anyone negligent to account.
6. France sees fourth straight weekend of cost-of-living protests, with clashes in Paris and Lyon
An estimated 146,000 people (police figure; unions said 250,000) marched across France on Saturday — 46,000 in Paris — against rising living costs, wages and public-service funding, with police firing tear gas at Place de la Nation and in central Lyon. Turnout fell from previous weeks, but some 70,000 security personnel were deployed five months before a presidential election in which the far right sees its best chance yet, and President Macron is reportedly weighing concessions after cutting the 2026 growth forecast to 0.5%.
7. Single-dose CIDEB siRNA cuts liver fat by up to 80% in MASLD patients, data at AASLD show
Trial results highlighted at the AASLD liver meeting showed a single administration of a CIDEB-targeting siRNA produced rapid, deep and durable reductions in liver fat of up to 80%, sustained through 36 weeks, with improved liver-injury markers in patients with MASLD (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease). Separately, MIT researchers reported nanoparticles that reprogram immune cells inside the body to attack tumours, eliminating cancers and reversing liver damage in mouse experiments.
8. Pope León XIV begins visit to Argentina on Latin American tour
Pope León XIV arrived in Argentina for a 8–11 November visit with masses in Buenos Aires, Luján and Córdoba — the second stop of a Latin American tour that also includes Peru — prompting truck-traffic restrictions on Buenos Aires province routes and heavy
