NEWSWEEK: Asia’s economies are expanding at their fastest rates in a decade, yet you have warned of a looming jobs crisis. Explain that. Ifzal Ali: At the end of 2005, of the 1.7 billion people in Asia’s workforce, 500 million of them were either unemployed or underemployed. In the next 10 years another 250 million people will join the workforce as new entrants.

Ribal al-Assad, Rifaat’s son, told Newsweek he believes a long-running embezzlement case against his father was facilitated by questionable witnesses. His father’s ability to leave France despite the guilty verdict, Ribal also claimed, suggests Paris wanted him to return to Syria. “He didn’t have a choice,” Ribal said four months after his father returned. “I genuinely believe that they wanted him to go back.” The French Foreign Ministry and a key figure in the case have both dismissed Ribal’s allegation, the latter rejecting the assertion as a conspiracy theory....

The space rock, which is tracked by NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), is estimated to be between 360 and 820 feet in diameter. To put that into context, each tower of the Golden Gate Bridge sits around 746 feet above San Francisco Bay. The asteroid, called 2021 GM4, is expected to be traveling at over 6 kilometers per second (13421.6 miles per hour) when it passes our planet on Thursday—more than six times faster than a rifle bullet....

2021 SM3 will zip past the planet on October 15. The asteroid, which was only discovered this year, has an estimated diameter of up to 160 meters, one and one-fifth the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Cairo, Egypt. At its closest, the asteroid will come within about 3 million miles of Earth. That’s much closer than either of Earth’s closest planetary neighbors, Venus at around 77 million miles, and Mars, which is about 244 million miles from our planet....

The first of these space rocks, known as 2015 HM10, has already made its closest approach when it came within about 2.9 million miles of our planet at 2:00 a.m. EDT this morning. The asteroid—which is estimated to measure up to 360 feet in diameter—whizzed past at speeds of around 21,000 miles per hour relative to the Earth. The second of the asteroids—2019 OD—is estimated to be about the same size as 2015 HM10, according to NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS....

The exoplanet, located 855 million light-years from Earth, is an example of a class of worlds called “hot Jupiters”—massive balls of gas comparable in size to the solar system’s own gas giant, but which race around their parent stars, often completing an orbit in as short a period as under 10 days. Much more rapidly than the 12 Earth years that Jupiter takes to orbit the sun. But this exoplanet, designated TOI-2109b, is extreme even for a hot Jupiter....

You call your shot, that’s how. “Before (Correa) went up there, he said, ‘Walk off,’” Astros manager Dusty Baker said following the game. “And I said go ahead on man.” MORE: Sporting News 2020 MLB awards Said Correa, who had gone 1-for-3 in Thursday’s game before his last at-bat: “I wanted to drive the ball, and I felt I could do it.

Giles recorded a career-best 34 saves with a 2.39 ERA during the 2017 regular season, but allowed at least one earned run in six of his seven games during the postseason. His shaky performances didn’t affect the Astros, who defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in seven games to clinch the World Series. The legitimacy of the title has been thrown into question over the last four months, since a report published by The Athletic revealed the Astros had illegally used technology to decipher their opponents’ signs during the 2017 season and during part of the following campaign....

Asymptomatic STIs are more common than not. There is a very high prevalence of symptom-free sexually transmitted infections. People can be, and often are, living with an STI for many years without knowing it....
