6. Meloni set to lead Italy after far right triumphs at polls

• Giorgia Meloni looks set to become Italy`s first woman prime minister at the head of its most rightwing government since World War Two after leading a conservative alliance to triumph at Sunday`s election.
• Near final results showed the rightist bloc should have a solid majority in both houses of parliament, potentially giving Italy a rare chance of political stability after years of upheaval and fragile coalitions.
• `We must remember that we are not at the end point, we are at the starting point. It is from tomorrow that we must prove our worth,` the 45-year-old Meloni told cheering supporters of her nationalist Brothers of Italy party early Monday morning

7. Home to US troops, S. Korea unlikely to escape fallout from Taiwan conflict

• Tensions over Taiwan have raised the thorny issue of whether US troops based in South Korea would be involved in any conflict, with American and South Korean officials acknowledging that the peninsula could easily be dragged into a crisis.
• South Korean President Yoon Sukyeol told CNN in an interview aired on Sunday that his country was keen to work with the United States to expand freedom, but that in a conflict over Taiwan, North Korea would be more likely to stage a provocation and that the alliance should focus on that first.
• North Korea has a mutual defence treaty with China and military analysts suggest it could coordinate with Beijing or take advantage of a crisis to pursue its own military goals

9. Nasa tests Armageddon-inspired planetary defence

• NASA will attempt a feat humanity has never before accomplished: deliberately smacking a spacecraft into an asteroid to slightly deflect its orbit, in a key test of our ability to stop cosmic objects from devastating life on Earth.
• The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spaceship launched from California last November and is fast approaching its target, which it will strike at roughly 14,000 miles (22,500 kilometers) per hour.
• To be sure, neither the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos, nor the big brother it orbits, called Didymos, pose any threat as the pair loop the Sun, passing about seven millionmiles from Earth at nearest approach.
• But Nasa has deemed the experiment important to carry out before an actual need is discovered

10. Sheikh Qaradawi, Islamist champion of Arab revolts, dies at 96

• Sheikh Youssef al Qaradawi, a spiritual guide to the Muslim Brotherhood who championed the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings and unsettled rulers in Egypt and the Gulf with his Islamist preaching, died on September 26, 2022. He was 96.
• Born in Egypt, Qaradawi spent much of his life in Qatar, where he became one of the most recognisable and influential Sunni Muslim clerics in the Arab world thanks to regular appearances on Qatar`s Al Jazeera network.
• Broadcast into millions of homes, his sermons fuelled tensions that led Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies to impose a blockade on Qatar in 2017 and declare Qaradawi a terrorist. His death was announced on his official Twitter account
