🇧🇬 A Bulgarian journalist ended up in hospital after a run-in with the parliament speaker's security. TV host Sonya Koltuklieva opened Speaker Mihaela Dotsova's car door to ask her a question, a state security guard shoved her away and she fell straight onto the pavement, and the convoy drove off as she lay there. She says she has a fractured shoulder, and the guard has since been detained. Was the guard just doing his job, or did he go way too far? Writer: Daniyal t.co/F7zOalcwZZ

🇬🇷 Greece is trying to wake the next generation up from a social media trance 😵‍💫 The government passed legislation forcing tech platforms to BAN social media for anyone under 15 by 2027. Athens skipped EU consensus to stop endless scrolling from turning kids into sleep-deprived zombies. Lawmakers argue algorithms have hollowed out attention spans, destroyed sleep, and killed real world childhoods. Source: DW / Writer: Bri

🚨🇸🇦 Saudi is EXPANDING its MISSILE PLANT to build bigger, longer-range rockets. Satellite images show new casting pits at the al-Duwadimi complex, designed for solid-fuel motors capable of carrying heavier warheads or reaching farther. Researchers say work began last year, with production potentially starting by late 2026. This could let Riyadh strike Iranian targets without relying solely on fighter jets, as similar expansions unfold in UAE and Turkey. It also complicates U.S.-Saudi nuclear talks, longer-range missiles plus enrichment talks make Congress more nervous. Source: Reuters / Writer: Lucas

🇺🇦 Ukraine pushes for November trilateral talks with U.S. and Russia Zelensky confirmed talks with U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner following negotiations in Oslo and St. Petersburg. While Ukraine states it's ready to meet immediately, progress hinges on Moscow after previous October talks fell through. And Zelensky admits that the U.S is ESSENTIAL for this succeeding.

🚨🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukrainian forces have reportedly advanced west of Hrekivka in eastern Ukraine. The push along the Svatove front shifts tactical ground, though exact territorial gains remain unconfirmed.

🇫🇷 I think the punishment for the folks doing the rioting and looting should match what they did... So, line them all up… throw full bottles at them, then throw them through a few plate-glass windows before trying, and failing, to set them on fire 4 or 5 times before it actually works. It’ll never happen because it’s too cruel. That’s a shame, because what these people are doing is equally cruel. Writer: Jamie t.co/hObMb2O0Bj

🇺🇸 Trump BLASTS the judge in the Charlie Kirk case for dragging it out He says the trial should happen in a month, not years, and that the slow pace dishonors Charlie’s memory. Defense wants 2029, prosecutors suggest 2028, and Erika is pushing for next year. Death-penalty cases drag, but a public assassination with the defendant already in custody shouldn’t need until 2029 to reach a verdict. Source: Trump Truth Social / Writer: Lucas

🇺🇸🇲🇽 New York Mayor Mamdani is now speaking directly to immigrants IN SPANISH, telling them how to deal with ICE agents And he's getting VERY specific. Don't open your door without a judicial warrant. You have the right to remain silent. Don't sign anything before speaking with a lawyer. He even explains how to check whether a warrant is actually signed by a judge, rather than simply issued by immigration authorities. Mamdani also reminds residents that NYPD officers do not participate in routine federal civil immigration enforcement and points them toward the city's free immigration legal hotline. He's promising to protect the RIGHT TO PROTEST, too. This goes beyond criticizing Trump's immigration crackdown. Mamdani is personally walking New Yorkers through how to exercise their rights when federal agents show up at their doors. And he's doing it in the language many of the people he's trying to reach speak at home. Writer: Oliver t.co/KmMzImvjGc

Separate rumors are circulating about possible moves of Russian staff from the Bushehr nuclear site, but that part has no confirmation from Moscow or Tehran.

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇶 The U.S. has reportedly warned Iraq it could strike Iran within days. Washington informed Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi, who then warned armed groups to stay out of any fighting or face legal action. But powerful Iran-backed groups like Kata'ib Hezbollah and Nujaba are still refusing to give up their weapons, despite earlier agreements. And Baghdad isn't taking chances. It's closed a border crossing with Iran over security concerns and reportedly ordered the Houthi office in Iraq shut down, with its members deported. The government wants to keep Iraq out of another war, but getting these armed groups to cooperate is another story. Source: Channel8 / Writer: Daniyal

🇺🇸🇮🇷 TRUMP’S SPECIAL ENVOY: TRUMP COULD STRIKE IRAN THIS WEEKEND I sat down with Ambassador Tom Barrack for an extraordinary conversation about the high likelihood of renewed war with Iran, what that would look like for the region, and what happens the day after With U.S forces rapidly repositioning, embassy staff evacuating, Israeli jets approaching Iranian airspace almost daily, and fears of another major escalation, I asked Amb. Barrack directly whether American strikes could begin this weekend. “Absolutely.” I also asked him to clarify his comments regarding the end of the U.S. as the ultimate guarantor of the region, and he doubled down: "I keep on saying we're not the ultimate guarantor, but we are an insurer." We also discussed the escalating Saudi-Houthi conflict, the possibility of Turkey, Egypt and even Syria joining, and whether we could see American strikes in Yemen But Amb. Barrack's final warning was perhaps the most important. With the region approaching another potential confrontation, he urged all sides to avoid the miscalculations that can turn a crisis into a full-blown regional war. Trump could order another strike on Iran tonight, but Amb. Barrack says diplomacy is still possible. And the decisions made now could determine whether the Middle East moves towards a new regional settlement or another devastating escalation. @USAMBTurkiye

About 100 troops head to Port-au-Prince to search for aviation technicians ambushed by gangs, including elements linked to 400 Mawozo.

🇺🇸 2 federal agents reported seeing a mysterious BLACK TRIANGLE flying near a U.S. national security site... The agents described a dark, nonreflective triangular object roughly 9-15 feet wide that appeared hotter than the surrounding air but showed no visible exhaust. They said it climbed vertically roughly 200 feet above a ridgeline before transitioning into horizontal flight at “very significant velocity” and disappearing from view. The encounter reportedly lasted about 3 seconds, with no audible sound detected. 👽 Source: U.S. Department of War / Writer: Samuel

🇸🇻🇺🇸 TRUMP and BUKELE are building a MUCH BIGGER security partnership And it's moving beyond immigration and deportations. The two leaders have already worked together to send suspected gang members from the U.S. to El Salvador's notorious CECOT mega-prison. Now their cooperation is expanding into REGIONAL SECURITY, economic ties and even Washington's efforts to counter Chinese influence in Central America. Just last week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with Bukele about protecting Salvadoran ports from foreign influence, coordinating at the UN and confronting Cuba. And there's another development. Bukele is now deploying Salvadoran forces against gangs in HAITI, where four of his country's military personnel were recently taken hostage. El Salvador is becoming more than a deportation partner for Trump. It's taking on a larger role in Washington's security strategy across the region.

🇺🇸 Trump: "I'm the only one that can get 25,000 people to show up, whether it's Democrat or Republican” He might pack arenas, but he cannot get his own poll numbers to climb. His economic approval rating crashed with 65% of Americans disapproving of his performance. With midterms looming, voters now favor Democratic control of Congress 52% to 45%, leaving the administration facing a brutal public backlash over the economy. Writer: Bri t.co/35Qqy7PO2z

🇮🇱🇮🇷 “Strategically, it’s an implosion.” That’s how Trump’s Special Envoy, Amb. Tom Barrack, describes Israel’s CURRENT approach to Iran. He says Israel is tactically brilliant, but the math just does not work. By 2040, there will be 3 billion Muslims and 3 billion Christians. There will be 16 million Jews. Ultimately, alignment is the only option they have. "We have to put it together, which means not regime change in Iran, but a policy change of the regime in Iran. And that take both sides. We need to calm both sides." @USAMBTurkiye

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇮🇷 Trump and Britain's PM just spoke as London grows increasingly worried about ANOTHER U.S. ATTACK ON IRAN Trump says he and Andy Burnham discussed the wars only “very lightly,” spending more time talking about Britain's plans to expand North Sea gas production. That's a big contrast to what's happening behind the scenes. Britain is pushing for diplomacy with Tehran, fearing another American strike could trigger a MUCH WIDER conflict. Trump, meanwhile, refuses to take military action off the table. And RUSSIA is becoming another headache. Trump has eased restrictions on Russian diesel exports, a move that could give Moscow more breathing room, while Britain is trying to keep Washington committed to pressuring Russia over Ukraine. One ally is worried about preventing another war, and the other is keeping its options open to fight one. Source: Bloomberg / Writer: Oliver
