6. Prince Salman named Saudi PM
• Saudi Arabia`s Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman was named the country`s prime minister on September 27, 2022.
• King Salman also ordered a cabinet reshuffle, naming his son Khalid Bin Salman, the former deputy defence minister, as the new defence minister.
• Prince Abdulaziz Bin Salman stays as energy minister under a new cabinet, to be headed by the crown prince, according to a royal decree.
• Foreign Minister Prince Faisal Bin Farhan Al Saud, Finance Minister Mohammed al Jadaanand and Investment Minister Khalid al Falih kept their positions in the new cabinet.
• Prince Mohammed, who turned 37 last month, has been first in line to succeed his father as king since 2017.
7. Meloni gets to work picking right-wing govt for Italy
• Italian far-right leader Giorgia Meloni and her allies began on September 27, 2022 what is likely to be a weeks-long process of forming a new government, with crises looming on several fronts.
• Meloni`s post-fascist Brothers of Italy party, which triumphed in Sunday`s elections, has no experience of power but must assemble a cross-party team to tackle sky-high inflation and energy prices, and relations with a wary Europe.
• The 45-year-old is hoping to be the first woman to lead Italy as prime minister, but needs her allies, Matteo Salvini`s far-right League party and former Silvio Berlusconi`s Forza Italia, for a majority in parliament
8. Blasts, leaks in Russian pipelines alarm Europe; foul play feared
• Explosions were recorded before mysterious leaks in two Baltic Sea gas pipelines linking Russia and Europe, seismologists said on September 27, 2022, raising suspicions of sabotage amid tensions over Moscow`s war in Ukraine.
• Photos taken by the Danish military showed large masses of bubbles on the surface of the water emanating from the three leaks in Sweden and Denmark`s economic zones north of Poland, from 200 to 1,000 metres (656 feet to 0.62 miles) in diameter.
• Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that while the details of what happened were not yet known, `we see clearly that it`s an act of sabotage, one that probably marks the next step of escalation of the situation in Ukraine`
9. Catalonia seeks new independence referendum
• Catalonia will push the Spanish government for a new agreement on holding a binding referendum on the region`s potential independence that would be recognised both by Spain and the international community, its separatist leader said on September 27, 2022.
• The Spanish government, however, rejected the proposal. `They have those maximalist aspirations, which are absolutely not shared by the government,` spokesperson Isabel Rodriguez told reporters. But both governments would keep talking to `normalise` their relationship, she said.
• The so-called `clarity agreement` proposal comes shortly before the fifth anniversary of Catalonia`s unauthorised independence referendum and at a critical time for its separatist movement, which is marred by divisions between moderates and radicals that have threatened to fracture the coalition government
10. Spacecraft successfully `crashes` into asteroid
• Nasa`s DART spacecraft successfully slammed into a distant asteroid at hypersonic speed in the world`s first test of a planetary defense system, designed to prevent a potential doomsday meteorite collision with Earth.
• Humanity`s first attempt to alter the motion of an asteroid or any celestial body played out in a Nasa webcast from the mission operations center outside Washington, DC, 10 months after DART was launched.
• The livestream showed images taken by DART`s camera as the cube-shaped `impactor` vehicle, no bigger than a vending machine with two rectangular solar arrays, streaked into the asteroid Dimorphos, about the size of a football stadium, some 11 million kilometres from Earth
