Musk irks Zelenskiy after polling a 'peace plan'
STORY: The world’s richest person, Elon Musk, has enraged Ukrainian officials by asking Twitter users to weigh in on a plan to end Russia's war in Ukraine. Musk created a poll via Twitter… after which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy responded with his own poll, Tweeting: "Which @elonmusk do you like more?” The options being: ‘One who supports Ukraine’ and ‘One who supports Russia.’ Musk – in a Tweet - proposed U.N.-supervised elections in four occupied regions that Moscow last week moved to annex after what it called referendums. The votes were denounced by Kyiv and Western governments as illegal and coercive. The proposed plan by Musk included Russia leaving (quote) ‘if that is will of the people.’ And he suggested that Crimea, which Moscow seized in 2014, be formally recognized as Russia, that water supply to Crimea be assured and that Ukraine remain neutral. Musk asked Twitter users to vote 'yes' or 'no' on the plan. But Musk didn’t stop there. He followed up with another poll, Tweeting: "Let's try this then: the will of the people who live in the Donbas & Crimea should decide whether they're part of Russia or Ukraine." Supporters of Ukraine fired back— Lithuania's President tweeted in response."Dear @elonmusk, when someone tries to steal the wheels of your Tesla, it doesn't make them legal owner of the car or of the wheels."But Musk said he didn't care if his proposal was unpopular, arguing that he did care "that millions of people may die needlessly for an essentially identical outcome." The Twitter storm was met by at least one expletive from a Ukrainian official - Ukraine's outspoken outgoing ambassador to Germany, Andriy Melnyk - who Tweeted: "Fuck off is my very diplomatic reply to you @elonmusk."

Meet the coal miner risking it all in Mexico
STORY: In his twenty-one years of mining coal in Mexico’s northern state of Coahuila, Juan Briones knows each time he descends the narrow shaft, he’s risking death to make a living.“When you’re winched down, rocks can fall over and some down it at brutal speed. They can topple onto your head and hurt you. The helmet is your only protection, but if big stones fall over, you can be knocked over. The second danger is gas, as there can be explosions.” Briones, a father of four, could encounter falling rocks, explosions, floods and cave-ins to haul coal for roughly $150 a week. He keeps digging even after disaster struck a nearby coal mine. His brother-in-law was among 10 trapped at the El Pinabete mine in August when water broke through a shaft wall and flooded it. Two months later, their bodies have yet to be recovered.The failed rescue efforts at El Pinabete turned attention to the dangers miners face every day at dozens of small, unregulated sites in Mexico’s coal heartland.Miners such as Briones get hired without contracts, and sent underground with little protection. Reuters reported in September that El Pinabete, one of the many Coahuila mines that provided coal to Mexico’s state-owned power utility, was not visited by labor inspectors. Critics say these unregulated mines are a public health hazard ignored for too long. Aleida Azamar is a mining analyst at Madrid’s Universidad Complutense.“For one thing, these mines should be banned. Second, if you are to allow them, then you have to put in security conditions and train personnel to take these workers out in case of an accident. Third, very important: they shouldn’t be so deep because depth is riskier for accidents and disaster, plus, it affects how miners work as deep mines don’t allow for rescues.”Briones has been working in these mines since he was 14. He said he keeps hauling coal, because that keeps his family fed.“Sometimes you have the need to survive, to take care of your family as your children demand and they don’t know if there is money or there isn't. For this reason, you get in the mine.”

Sharp gains on Wall Street after dismal September
STORY: A strong rally for U.S. stocks on Monday in an optimistic start to the fourth quarter, as investors snapped up shares after a brutal month of September.The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 indices both rose more than two-and-a-half percent.The Nasdaq climbed almost two-and-a-quarter percent.Among the day's winners, oil majors such as Exxon Mobil and Chevron, both up more than five percent on a nearly $4-jump in the price of crude oil, fueled by reports that OPEC+ is considering tightening global crude output by more than one million barrels per day ahead of a Wednesday meeting.But the rally was about more than just energy. Tech giants such as Apple and Microsoft climbed more than three-and-a-half percent, and bank stocks rose more than three percent.Monday's buying comes after heavy losses in the third quarter for equities, against a backdrop of rising interest rates, alarming inflation and slowing economic growth.Sam Stovall is the chief investment strategist for CFRA Research:"September is the worst month of the year, and the third quarter is the worst quarter of the year, in many ways because of the window dressing that mutual funds have to go through. In a sense they want to get rid of the stocks that they really wish they had not owned, but let's do so before we have to report them to our shareholders. But then investors like to get back into equities early in the fourth quarter, and possibly that's what we're seeing right now is money being put back to work, especially after such a weak month and quarter."One notable loser on Monday: Tesla.The luxury electric car-maker saw shares slide 7.5% after it sold fewer-than-expected vehicles in the third quarter due to logistic hurdles.

Ukraine pensioner defies Russian occupation
STORY: More than 50 years after gangrene left Hryhoriy Yanchenko without legs and fingers. He’s showing his fighting spirit remains intact by joining the Ukrainian resistance in occupied Kherson. These videos shared on social media in June show the 75 year old driving his mobility cart through the city, playing the Ukrainian anthem and collecting donations for soldiers. He wears a blue-striped jersey and sky-blue beret from the Soviet paratroop unit in which he served. Reuters was able to verify the location of the videos, but not the date they were filmed. "Every day at 9 am I left on my wheelchair and every day I felt as if I was on a minefield. You go somewhere and may never come back home. But I just felt like a Ukrainian, felt like a patriot of sorts." Yanchenko served in the Soviet airborne forces in the 1960s and has been trying to support Ukrainian soldiers since 2014, first organizing a benefit concert and then collecting food and other supplies. In the last six months, Yanchenko said he’s raised more than $16,000. The money has been used by a Ukrainian group to buy sniper scopes, rifle accessories and clothing. Some of the money was even donated by Russian soldiers, Yanchenko says with a laugh. But after being confronted by a member of Russia’s internal security service, Yanchenko knew it was time to leave Kherson, his home for 57 years. He hid for three days with a friend before making a pre-dawn crossing of the Dnipro River. "You understand, I am 75 years old. I was scared that if they found my phone, or laptop, or saw something of the sort, I wouldn’t be able to take these challenges at this age. This is all… very, very frightening." Yanchenko is now in Ukrainian-held Zaporizhzhia where he continues to collect donations.

Investors eyeing Q3 earnings as hopeful forecasts dim -strategist
STORY: "On June 30, it was expected that the S&P 500 would show a ten-and-a-half percent increase in earnings for the third quarter on a year-over-year basis. Now that estimate is below three percent," Stovall said.Wall Street's three major indexes rallied over 2.5% on Monday to start the final quarter of a tumultuous year in which investors fretted about aggressive interest rate hikes amid historically hot inflation and fears of slowing economic growth.All three major indexes ended a volatile third quarter lower on Friday on growing fears that the Federal Reserve's aggressive monetary policy will tip the economy into recession.

Chaotic call-up reports add to Russian set-backs
STORY: There've been further reports of chaos in Russia's mobilization for Ukraine, less than two weeks after President Vladimir Putin announced it.According to the governor of the Khabarovsk region in Russia's Far East on Monday (October 3), about half the men called up there were found unfit for duty and sent home. Mikhail Degtyarev also fired the region's military commissar."In 10 days, several thousand of our countrymen received summons and arrived at the military registration and enlistment offices. About half of them we returned home as they did not meet the criteria for entering the military service. The work to achieve the goals set by the president continues."Tens of thousands of Russian men were suddenly called up into the military and tens of thousands of others have fled abroad.The governor's comments followed a major Ukrainian breakthrough at the weekend, when its forces retook Lyman, the main Russian bastion in the north of Donetsk province.In another setback for Moscow, a Russian-installed official confirmed more Ukrainian advances along the west bank of the Dnipro River in Kherson on Monday. By Monday afternoon, Ukraine's defense ministry had confirmed only the recapture of one village close to the previous front line. Reuters was not able to independently verify the authenticity of the video, the date it was filmed and the location of the footage.Kherson is among four occupied Ukrainian regions whose annexation Russia declared following hastily organized votes that Ukraine and the West denounced as coercive and illegitimate.The lower house of Russia's parliament approved laws on the annexation on Monday. No opposition had been expected. More than seven months into a war that has killed tens of thousands, even Moscow's basic aims are far from achieved.Lyman especially touched a nerve - prompting a Putin ally to publicly ridicule the military top brass, which is rare in modern Russia.Ramzan Kadyrov, leader of the Russian republic of Chechnya, who has sent many of his own units to fight in Ukraine, called for the region's commander to be stripped of his medals and sent to the frontline - to wash away his shame with blood. He also condemned what he called nepotism in the army, saying talentless mediocrities were letting the country down.
