6. US and Taliban make progress on Afghan reserves, but big gaps remain
• US and Taliban officials have exchanged proposals for the release of billions of dollars from Afghan central bank reserves held abroad into a trust fund, three sources familiar with the talks said, offering a hint of progress in efforts to ease Afghanistan`s economic crisis.
• Significant differences between the sides remain, however, according to two of the sources, including the Taliban`s refusal to replace the bank`s top political appointees, one of whom is under US sanctions as are several of the movement`s leaders.
• Some experts said such a move would help restore confidence in the institution by insulating it from interference by the Islamist militant group that seized power a year ago but which foreign governments do not recognise
7. Morocco, Israel sign judicial accord to expand cooperation
• Morocco and Israel added legal links to a growing list of cooperation accords since they normalised relations in 2020, during a visit July 26, 2022 by Israeli Justice Minister Gideon Saar.
• He signed a judicial accord in Rabat with his Moroccan counterpart Abdellatif Ouahbi.
• A joint statement said the two countries would share expertise and modernise their judicial systems through digitalisation, while cooperating in the fight against organised crime, terrorism and human trafficking
8. Three peacekeepers killed amid anti-UN protests in DR Congo
• Three United Nations peacekeepers and at least 12 demonstrators have been killed in escalating anti-UN protests in eastern DR Congo, officials said on July 26, 2022.
• Anger has been fuelled by perceptions that MONUSCO, the UN mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is failing to do enough to stop attacks by armed groups.
• Crowds on Monday stormed a MONUSCO headquarters and supply base in Goma, the chief city in North Kivu province, and the protests spread on Tuesday to Beni and Butembo to the north
9. Pakistani students win laurels in international competition
• The success of Pakistani students who study in schools without walls in the global Huawei competition shows that there is no alternative to dedication and hard work, deputy chief executive officer of Huawei Pakistan Ahmed Bilal Masud said on July 26, 2022.
• He was speaking at a ceremony to honour Sateesh Kumar, Bhagchand Meghwar and Iqra Fatima, winners of the Sixth Huawei ICT Competition 2021-2022.
• They were able to beat competitors from different parts of the world at the Global Final of the event held in Shenzhen, China
10. US says China`s `provocations` threaten major incident
• The United States on July 26, 2022 accused China of increased `provocations` against rival claimants in the South China Sea and said its `aggressive and irresponsible behavior` meant it was only a matter of time before a major incident or accident.
• Jung Pak, deputy assistant secretary for East Asia at the State Department, told a US think tank there was `a clear and upward trend of PRC provocations against South China Sea claimants and other states lawfully operating in the region, referring to the People`s Republic of China.
• She told the Centre for Strategic and International Studies Chinese aircraft had increasingly engaged in unsafe intercepts of Australian aircraft in international airspace above the South China Sea and in three separate incidents in the last few months had challenged marine research and energy exploration activities within the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines
