BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

    Households are experiencing inflation at 40-year highs of 11%.

The people in Britain who have been hardest hit by the cost-of-living issue also suffer from depression the most, as per Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Households are experiencing inflation at 40-year highs of 11%, driving up food prices as energy costs are also on the rise as a result of the war in Ukraine.

"Moderate to severe depressed symptoms" were reported by 24% of those who had problems paying their energy bills in the four weeks leading up to October 23.

According to the ONS, who based their findings on responses from almost 4,300 people aged 16 and over, that was nearly three times more than the nine percent of people who claimed it was easy to pay.

Adults who said they had trouble making their rent or mortgage payments made up around one-fourth (27%) of those who had moderate to severe depression symptoms.

The percentage was 15% for people who had no trouble making payments, it was added.

The overall prevalence of moderate-to-severe depression symptoms among British people was one in sixteen (16%), which is similar to 2021 but higher than pre-pandemic levels (10 percent).

The study discovered that persons who were unable to work due to a long-term illness had the highest levels of depression (59 percent). Adults in England's most impoverished regions (35 percent) and unpaid carers (37 percent) were the next worst affected groups (25 percent).

The percentage for young adults (16 to 29) was 28%.

The UK's economy contracted in the third quarter of this year and is currently in a recession, as per a number of analyses.

According to the Bank of England, the contraction will endure for most of next year.
