Australia

MH370 search shifts zone

Investigators confirmed on Wednesday that the priority search area for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has moved farther south as end-of-flight scenarios indicated it may have spiraled into the Indian Ocean. Seven months after the jet disappeared with 239 people onboard, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, leading the hunt for the jet, said ongoing analysis had helped refine the zone where an underwater search began this week.

Kenya

President to appear at ICC

Kenya's Uhuru Kenyatta became the first sitting president on Wednesday to appear before the International Criminal Court, with his lawyer seeking an acquittal on charges of crimes against humanity. Kenyatta, who handed power to his deputy before flying to The Hague, was summoned to answer questions at his trial for allegedly masterminding deadly post-election violence in 2007-08.

Iran

Gaps remain in nuclear talks

Iran's president said on Wednesday that disagreements remain between his country and world powers on the details of a final deal aimed at preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons. President Hassan Rouhani's remarks came ahead of a Nov 24 deadline in talks aimed at preventing Iran from making an atomic weapon in exchange for easing economic sanctions. Failure to conclude the deal could mean that the whole negotiating process, years in the making, has failed.

Ukraine

Hundreds killed since truce

More than 330 people have been killed in Ukraine since a fragile truce took effect a month ago, the United Nations said on Wednesday, warning that 5 million people were affected by ongoing violence.
