AMNA NAWAZ: The day's other# headlines start in Ukraine,## where Russian attacks have killed at# least 21 people in two regions.

They## come a day after PBS News confirmed# it's the Biden administration's## plan to let Ukraine use U.S.-supplied# weapons to strike deeper into Russia.

In the southern port city of Odesa, a# Russian missile barrage on a residential## area killed at least 10 people, while,# in the north, a strike hit a nine-story## apartment building in the city of Sumy,# killing 11 people, including two children.

In the meantime, Ukraine's# president visited troops in## a front-line town in the Donetsk region,# where Russia has stepped up its efforts.

VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY, Ukrainian President# (through translator): The Pokrovsk section## is a very tense one.

I know that only thanks to# your resilience, the e.. in its entirety by the Russian Federation.

The# enemy gets our responses every day from you and## from your brothers in arms.

I want you to know# that the Ukrainian people are very thankful.

AMNA NAWAZ: Zelenskyy's front-line# visit comes a day before Ukraine## marks 1,000 days since Russia's full-scale# invasion.

It's now Europe's biggest armed## conflict since World War II, with tens# of thousands of lives lost on both sides.

In the Middle East, Israeli airstrikes# pounded Lebanon's capital city for a## second straight day.

The strikes hit# just blocks from Lebanon's Parliament## and other government landmarks.

Israel# says it's targeting Hezbollah militants.## Health officials say at least five# people were killed and 24 others hurt.

Hours earlier, rockets fired from Lebanon# flew over Northern Israel, where Israel said## a building was struck and one woman was killed.# Most of the rockets were intercepted.

Meanwhile,## in Gaza, Palestinian officials say eight# people were killed, including children,## in Israeli strikes today.

Israel has repeatedly# blamed Hamas' hiding among civilians for the## death toll in Gaza, which is now nearly# 44,000 people, mostly women and children.

The ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Middle# East are casting a shadow over the G20 summit,## which got under way in Rio de Janeiro# today.

Leaders from the world's top## economies are looking unlikely to# issue a strongly worded statement## on the conflicts amid uncertainty# over the incoming Trump presidency.

Instead, Brazil's president kicked things# off with a focus on food insecurity,## announcing the launch of a global alliance# to fight hunger and poverty.

For his part,## President Biden said the U.S. will contribute a# record $4 billion to the World Bank's fund for## the poorest countries.

He also urged member# nations to support Ukraine's sovereignty.

President Biden is urging Congress to# pass nearly $100 billion in emergency## aid following Hurricanes Helene and Milton,## as well as other natural disasters.

In# a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson today,## Biden said he heard from those affected by the# storms that additional federal help is critical.

The largest share, about $40 billion, would# go to the main disaster relief fund at FEMA,## $24 billion would help farmers whose crops or# livestock were impacted, and $12 billion would## be set aside for community grants set up by the# Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Toxic smog is blanketing parts of northern India,# where pollution levels are 50 times what's deemed## safe by the World Health Organization.

Authorities# in the capital of New Delhi shut schools and## halted construction.

The smog is partly due# to smoke from farmers in rural areas burning## crop waste each year.

Cold temperatures trap# the smoke and then wind blows it into cities.

Car emissions only add to the pollution.# Residents say that officials need to take action.

SANJAY GOEL, India Resident (through translator):# Everyone has a sore throat, fever because of this## pollution, and the government should ban# crop residue burning.

All this is smoke.## It's not fog.

It's just smoke everywhere.# The government should stop crop burning.

AMNA NAWAZ: Studies have# estimated that, across India,## more than one million people die each# year from diseases connected to pollution.

The CDC and public health officials# in several states are investigating## an outbreak of E. coli linked to carrots.# Officials say 39 cases have been reported## so far across 18 states.

At least one# person has died.

The infections are linked## to organic bagged whole carrots and baby# carrots from Grimmway Farms in California.

They have since been recalled, but had been# sold at major retailers like Kroger, Target,## Trader Joe's and Walmart, among others.

The# CDC advises customers who have the affected## carrots to throw them out and to disinfect# surfaces that the products may have touched.

Spirit Airlines has filed for Chapter# 11 bankruptcy protection.

The nation's## largest budget airline is still struggling to# recover from a COVID era dip in travel and has## lost more than $2.5 billion since 2020.

The# carrier is also facing tough competition from## larger rivals.

And earlier this year, a federal# judge blocked its proposed merger with JetBlue.## Spirit plans to continue normal operations# as it works through the bankruptcy process.

On Wall Street today, the major markets# started the week mixed.

The Dow Jones## industrial average slipped more than 50# points on the day.

The Nasdaq added more## than 100 points after steep losses last week.# The S&P 500 also ended in positive territory.

Still to come on the "News Hour": how political# divisions could threaten press freedoms here in## the U.S.; Tamara Keith and Amy Walter break# down the latest in the Trump transition;## and we report from Ghana, a country that's# become a global dumping ground for used clothes.
