IAEA anti-Iran draft resolution

The head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization has rejected a draft resolution set forth by the United States, Britain, Germany and France to the International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA. Mohamad Eslami says the four countries have presented the documents that they themselves know are not true. Eslami says the allegations that there had been no progress in the IAEA’s long-standing probe in Iran are aimed at slandering the country. Eslami underlined that Iran has been working within the the UN nuclear agency’s legal framework. He said that adopting a policy of maximum pressure campaign is born out of the West’s addiction to sanctions. The draft resolution comes against the backdrop of stalled talks on reviving the 2015 Iran deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. 

Poland missile strike

The NATO secretary general says there is no indication of a deliberate attack on Poland, after a projectile landing in one of its villages near the border with Ukraine left two people dead. After a meeting with the military alliance's ambassadors, Stoltenberg said the preliminary analysis suggests it was likely caused by Ukrainian missiles launched to intercept a Russian attack. The Ukrainian president, however, was quick to put the blame on the Kremlin, saying the blast was an attempt by Moscow to spread terror. The Polish president, who earlier echoed with the view of Kiev, ruled out an attack by Moscow in a fresh address to the National Security Council.

UK economic slowdown

Britons are paying a lot more to heat up their homes and put food on the table this winter. The annual inflation is up to its highest level in more than 40 years, amid a worsening cost-of-living crisis. According to the Office for National Statistics, the inflation rate reached 11.1 percent in October. Up from 10.1 percent the previous month. Gas, electricity and food prices made the largest contrition to the inflation rate. The increase is more than Britain's Central Bank had expected. The bank will now have to further raise interest rates to control soaring prices.
