🇷🇴 Cristela Georgescu says one of the strongest pieces of “evidence” used against their campaign was a €1 payment. Literally one euro. The transfer came after the campaign had already ended, with a message mocking Georgescu by referring to “Russian money.” Yet she says it still appeared in the case as proof that money had entered the campaign. The second part is even stranger. Cristela says ordinary TikTok users, many of them pensioners, were questioned about promoting Georgescu’s videos. Most denied being paid or even knowing him. And many were then fined €2,000 anyway. Her point is simple: If unpaid supporters sharing videos can be treated as undeclared campaign spending, then the definition of “campaign financing” becomes very elastic indeed. @CG_Romania

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Saudi-backed forces are now OPENLY talking about PUSHING all the way into Yemen's capital The Saudi-led coalition has entered a new phase of its campaign, with simultaneous strikes targeting Houthi military positions, supply lines, energy sources and fortified sites in mountains and caves. The key objective is al-Bayda, whose highlands overlook Sanaa and could provide a strategic route toward the Houthi-held capital. The stated goal is no longer simply weakening the Houthis, the campaign is being described as one that will continue until forces reach the heart of Sanaa. Source: Al Jazeera / Writer: Samuel

🇷🇴 Cristela Georgescu says Romania feels more oppressive to her today than it did before communism fell. Not because the old system was freer. Because back then, she says, nobody pretended it was. “You knew you were not allowed to talk against it.” What disturbs her now is the contradiction: people are told they are free to speak and challenge the system, while she believes political dissent is punished underneath that democratic surface. “Today we are told, ‘You’re free.’” For someone who actually remembers Romania before 1989, that distinction is what frightens her most. Not open dictatorship. A system that still calls itself free while, in her view, behaving increasingly like one. @CG_Romania

🇩🇪🇮🇱🇵🇸 Thousands took the streets of Berlin last weekend, demanding an end to arms exports to Israel... Larger demonstrations earlier in the autumn drew TENS of thousands of participants. Ceasefire or not, these protests aren't stopping. Writer: Michael t.co/eSj4HbsYom

🇮🇩 Indonesia's Rupiah is COLLAPSING The country's stock market has just suffered its worst single-day crash since the 1998 Asian financial crisis. Nearly 12% wiped out in one trading session. The trigger? MSCI is threatening to strip Indonesia of its emerging-market status over serious concerns about stock market governance and transparency. That could force billions of dollars in foreign investment out of the country. Indonesia's stocks have already lost nearly 40% this year. And the real danger is what's about to come. A falling currency, collapsing equities and foreign investors heading for the exits can become a vicious cycle. This is how a stock market crisis risks becoming something much bigger.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran is finding ways to SNEAK fuel exports right through the U.S. naval blockade... LPG has escaped through the Gulf of Oman, totaling an estimated 4.1 MILLION barrels. Tehran has reportedly concealed cargoes among the growing number of ship-to-ship transfers conducted by other Gulf producers off Oman. Most Iranian petroleum exports are still being stopped or redirected, and U.S. Central Command insists its blockade remains “ironclad.” But that might be too strong a word for it...

🇮🇷 Tanker on fire near Oman after getting hit. Iran claims the ship had its AIS turned off and was trying to pass through a restricted zone. More than 100 war-related incidents involving ships have now been recorded since the war began.

🇮🇹🇪🇺 This is in Turin, Italy. Like the rest of the EU, the kids are wilding out!! These student protests across Europe are starting to look more and more like a coordinated operation. Let’s go down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole, shall we? Could an outside actor be instigating these protests and pushing students to destabilize their governments? Adults are quick to spot when they’re being fed propaganda, but are parents paying attention to what their kids are being exposed to in school and online? Something to think about… 🤔 Writer: Jamie t.co/pJxWWWN4Pr

🇮🇱🇺🇸 A Washington Post photographer was beaten in the West Bank. Now Netanyahu's office is challenging the story being told. Heidi Levine ended up in hospital after masked Israeli settlers allegedly attacked her while she was covering the Palestinian olive harvest. But Netanyahu's office says there's more to what happened. It claims around 200 Arabs and activists confronted 40 Israeli youths, with masked people on both sides throwing objects. The government wants investigators to establish who started the violence and warns against blaming an entire Jewish community for the actions of individuals. There's footage of Levine being beaten, and her injuries are real. But the wider circumstances of the confrontation are now being disputed. Netanyahu's office is insisting on one principle: “The facts must determine the conclusions. Not the headlines.” Headlines backed by video, one might add. Writer: Oliver t.co/psDnDFyCPJ

🇷🇺🇺🇦 A Ukrainian drone STRUCK a Gazprom plant in Russia and set it ON FIRE Ukrainian channels identified the site as the Surgut Condensate Stabilization Plant, which can process 12M tonnes of oil and gas condensate a year into gasoline, DIESEL, and jet fuel.

🇵🇸🇺🇸🇮🇱 Hamas is accusing Trump's Board of Peace of SIDING with ISRAEL in a new dispute over aid and commercial goods entering Gaza.

Now the two sides are openly blaming each other for obstructing the flow of goods into the territory.... Source: Al Jazeera / Writer: Samuel

🇩🇪🇺🇸🇺🇦 German FM Wadephul chalks up Trump's evolving position on Ukraine/Russia to the midterms: "We certainly have to view the current remarks of the American president in the context of the final phase of the election campaign in the United States. That's why I believe we have to look at the substance of what the United States continues to do. And that is supporting Ukraine together with us and advancing a negotiation process." A much more charitable view than Zelensky gave... Writer: Michael t.co/Kao38JRHHf
