The Republican candidate for president, Donald Trump, was near a shooting close to his golf course in Florida. The worst flood situation is still in Jeseník, where the first houses collapsed. Rescuers urge early evacuation. In China, the retirement age will rise. The Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski declared that able-bodied Ukrainians should not receive social benefits in Western countries.

Shooting occurred at Trump's golf course

According to sources from Reuters agency, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is safe following a Sunday shooting near his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. The shots came from beyond the boundary of the fenced course. Trump's campaign had previously stated that he was safe following the shooting near him, but did not provide any details. The Secret Service said that the incident, which occurred shortly before 2:00 pm (6:00 pm CET), is under investigation.

Trump was injured in an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania on July 13, raising questions about the protection of candidates just a few months before the elections, which will be very balanced on November 5 and in which he will face the Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. The White House said in a statement that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were informed about the incident and were relieved to find that Trump is safe.

Floods have destroyed several homes in Jesenicko

The flood situation is still the most serious in the north of Moravia. Firefighters are now prioritizing saving human lives over protecting property. Three people are currently missing in the region. The ERS is appealing for evacuation calls to be obeyed, which is not happening in all cases. At least 4 houses have collapsed in Jeseník.

"Damage will be greatest where the river is wildest, which is currently Bělá, where bridges have fallen. There will also be washed away bridges in the Vidnávka valley. I saw the destroyed new state road from last year in Česká Ves with my own eyes. So Jeseník and then further - Písečná, Mikulovice, there will be the greatest damage,"

Olomoucký governor Josef Suchánek (STAN) told ČTK.

Chinese people will retire at an older age

China will raise the retirement age from next year, which is currently one of the youngest among the world's largest economies, in an attempt to address the problem of declining population and aging workforce. The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the country's legislative body, approved the new policy on Friday after suddenly announcing earlier in the week that it was reviewing this measure, state television CCTV announced.

The policy change will be implemented over 15 years, during which the retirement age for men will increase to 63 and for women to 55 or 58 years, depending on their employment. The current retirement age is 60 for men and 50 for women in labor professions, and 55 for women not in labor professions, wrote the AP agency.

Sikorski would ban the payment of social benefits to able-bodied Ukrainians abroad

European governments should stop providing social benefits to Ukrainian men of military age living in their countries, said the Polish foreign minister, which he believes would help Ukraine draft more soldiers into the fight against Russian forces. After meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart in Kiev, Polish Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said that ending social benefits for Ukrainian men would also benefit state finances in host countries in Western Europe.

According to data from the EU statistical office Eurostat, more than 4.1 million Ukrainians had temporary protection status in the countries of the European Union in July of this year, of which about 22% were adult men, according to Reuters agency.
