🇵🇱 Poland chooses US to build its first nuclear power plant
Poland has chosen the US government and Westinghouse to build the central European country’s first nuclear power plant, part of an effort to burn less coal and gain greater energy independence.
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Twitter that Poland would use the “reliable, safe technology” of the Westinghouse Electric Company for the plant in Pomerania province near the Baltic Sea coast. The exact location remains to be identified.
Poland is planning to spend $40 billion to build two nuclear power plants with three reactors each, the last one to be launched in 2043. The deal with the US and Westinghouse is for the first three reactors of the Pomerania plant, which officials say should start producing electricity in 2033.

🇺🇸 Biden to head to Cambodia, Egypt, Indonesia for summits
President Joe Biden will make a weeklong, three country trip next month for a quartet of summits—including one that could potentially put him in the same room as China’s Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced that Biden will first travel to Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, on Nov. 11 for the COP 27 climate conference before heading to Phnom Penh, Cambodia, to participate in the US-ASEAN Summit of Southeast Asian leaders and the East Asia Summit. He’ll then head to Bali, Indonesia, for the Group of 20 summit, a gathering of leaders from most of the world’s largest economies.
The president’s overseas travel begins just days after the pivotal US midterm elections, which will determine which party controls the House and Senate.

🇵🇰 Pakistan: Oldest prisoner freed from Guantanamo, back home
A 75-year-old from Pakistan who was the oldest prisoner at the Guantanamo Bay detention center was released and returned to Pakistan on Saturday, the foreign ministry in Islamabad and the US Defense Department said.
Saifullah Paracha was reunited with his family after more than 17 years in custody in the US base in Cuba, the ministry added. Paracha had been held on suspicion of ties to al-Qaeda since 2003, but was never charged with a crime. Last year in May, he was notified that he had been been approved for release.
Paracha, who lived in the United States and owned property in New York City, was a wealthy businessman in Pakistan. Authorities alleged he was an al-Qaeda “facilitator” who helped two of the conspirators in the Sept. 11 plot with a financial transaction.

🇸🇴 Two explosions rock Somalia’s capital, killing at least 30
Two car bombs exploded Saturday at a busy junction in Somalia’s capital near key government offices, causing “scores of civilian casualties” including children, national police said. One hospital worker counted at least 30 bodies amid fears of possibly many more.
The attack in Mogadishu occurred on a day when the president, prime minister and other senior officials were meeting to discuss expanded efforts to combat violent extremism, especially by the al Qaeda-affiliated al-Shabab* group that often targets the capital. It also came five years after another massive blast in the exact same location killed over 500 people.

🇺🇸 California revenues decline amid economic worries
The nation’s most populous state has had so much cash lately that lawmakers have spent freely — handing out free health care to low-income immigrants, paying for every 4-year-old to attend kindergarten and sending more than $21 billion in stimulus checks to taxpayers over the past two years.
That seemingly endless flow of money has started to dry up as state tax collections have fallen below expectations for four months in a row. There’s now an 80% chance California will be about $8 billion short when its fiscal year ends next summer, according to the latest estimate from the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office.
Last year, 206 California-based companies went public, creating a huge windfall of tax revenue for the state. This year, less than 50 California-based companies will go public, according to an estimate from the California Department of Finance.

🇭🇹 Cholera overwhelms Haiti as cases, deaths spike amid crisis
Sweat gathered on the foreheads of staff at a Doctors Without Borders treatment center in the capital of Port-au-Prince where some 100 patients arrive every day and at least 20 have died. Across Haiti, many patients are dying because they’re unable to reach a hospital in time, health officials say.
Dozens of patients sat on white buckets or lay on stretchers as IV lines ran up to bags of rehydrating fluids that gleamed in the sun. So far this month, Doctors Without Borders has treated some 1,800 patients at their four centers in Port-au-Prince.
Cholera is a bacteria that sickens people who swallow contaminated food or water, in some cases leading to death. Haiti’s first major brush with cholera occurred more than a decade ago when UN peacekeepers introduced the bacteria into the country’s biggest river via sewage runoff at their base. Nearly 10,000 people died and thousands of others were sickened.
