Napoli were made to work hard but they maintained their perfect start to the Serie A season with a 3-2 home win over Pisa on Monday, which took the holders clear atop the standings, Reuters reported.

Billy Gilmour netted his first goal at senior club level to give Napoli a first-half lead but M'Bala Nzola's penalty on the hour drew Pisa level.

Leonardo Spinazzola and Lorenzo Lucca's goals looked to have wrapped up the win before Lorran's late goal for the visitors made for a nervy ending, according to Reuters.

Ligue 1 champions Paris St Germain suffered a 1-0 defeat at Olympique de Marseille in Monday's rearranged 'Le Classique', with Nayef Aguerd’s early header proving decisive in his side's first home league win over their bitter rivals since 2011, Reuters reported.

After Sunday's weather-enforced postponement of the match amid heavy rain and storms, PSG fell to their first league defeat of the season after five matches, remaining on 12 points and yielding first place to AS Monaco on goals scored.

"We are not used to losing games," said PSG coach Luis Enrique, who was named coach of the season at the Ballon d'Or awards held at the same time in Paris, according to Reuters.

According to the Authority, 18 insurance companies including the micro insurance companies have received a total of 2,478 applications for the claims.  

The Authority stated that the insurance claims were made for the losses caused in the public and private companies from vandalism and arson. 

However, the officials said that the volume of claims for insurance could further rise given the intensity of the damage to physical properties during the protests.

Dozens of world leaders gathered at the United Nations on Monday to embrace a Palestinian state, a landmark diplomatic shift nearly two years into the Gaza warthat faces fierce resistance from Israel and its close ally the United States, Reuters reported.

President Emmanuel Macron announced that France would recognize Palestine statehood at a meeting he convened with Saudi Arabia - a milestone that could boost Palestinian morale but appeared unlikely to change much on the ground.

The most far-right government in Israel's history has declared there will be no Palestinian state as it pushes on with its fight against militant group Hamas in Gaza following the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel that killed some 1,200 people, according to Reuters.

TikTok's algorithm - the technology that determines what users see in their feed - will be copied and retrained using US user data as part of a deal to secure the app's future in the country, BBC reported.

A White House official said on Monday that TikTok's recommendation system will be audited by tech giant Oracle, and operated by a new joint venture involving US investors in order to meet requirements for the app's sale.

It comes after President Donald Trump said a deal to prevent the app's ban in the US, unless sold by its Chinese parent company ByteDance, had been reached with China's approval.

The BBC has approached ByteDance and TikTok for comment, according to BBC.

The highest court in India has strongly criticised the country's aviation authorities for their handling of the aftermath of the Air India plane crash that killed 261 people in June, BBC reported.

Leaving only one survivor, the flight bound for Gatwick airport from Ahmedabad crashed shortly after taking off, killing 242 passengers on board and 19 others on the ground.

The court said it was "irresponsible" for the aviation authority to suggest, through leaks to the media, that pilot error had caused the disaster.

It called on Indian prime minister Narendra Modi for the government's response before it rules on a case filed by activists demanding an independent investigation, according to BBC.
