Taiwan clears up as remnant of Typhoon Kong-rey brushes Chinese coast
Taiwan cleared up and offices and financial markets re-opened on Friday after the powerful Typhoon Kong-rey swept through the island causing two deaths and snarling transport, as the remnant of the storm brushed the Chinese coast. Kong-rey slammed into Taiwan's mountainous and sparsely populated east coast on Thursday afternoon, the largest storm by size to hit the island in nearly 30 years, then worked its way across central Taiwan before entering the Taiwan Strait and moving north. The fire department put the death toll at two - one whose truck was hit by a falling tree in central Taiwan, and another in Taipei who was hit by an electricity pole.

US urges Israel to extend waiver on co-operation with Palestinian banks
Israel's decision for a month's waiver extension on co-operation between Israeli and Palestinian banks covered a "very short term" and would create "another looming crisis" by Nov. 30, the United States warned on Thursday. The remarks came after a spokesman for Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said he would sign the waiver to extend banks' co-operation for another month after the cabinet agreed. "The very short-term duration of this extension creates another looming crisis by Nov. 30, exacerbating uncertainty for international banks, Israeli companies operating in the West Bank, and, most importantly, for ordinary Palestinians," U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a joint statement.
