🇧🇷 WHAT HAPPENED IN BRAZIL?! 3 weeks ago, Flávio Bolsonaro beat Lula in the first round. The polls had him winning the runoff too. Then yesterday, 213 cities that had backed him suddenly turned their backs on him. 76 of them in Minas Gerais alone, the state that decides Brazilian elections. Even Rio de Janeiro, his OWN home turf, flipped to Lula. Lula walked away with a 4.4 million vote win, and millions of Brazilians are left asking how a man trailing in the first round pulled that off in just 3 weeks. Flávio is refusing to concede and is demanding the entire runoff be annulled. A first-round winner, ahead in the polls, losing 213 cities in 3 weeks. Brazil deserves answers, not “move along, nothing to see here.” Sources: CNN Brasil, Latin Times / Writer: Julie

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇺🇸 Putin's price for peace in Ukraine might be a big chunk of NATO. Russia has agreed to new talks with Ukraine and the U.S. in Abu Dhabi next month, and wants Europe at the table too. Diplomatic sources say the real goal is to push NATO back to its 1997 borders, which could mean troops pulling out of Poland, the Baltics and Finland. Europe says its answer hasn't changed since 2022: not happening. Source: The Telegraph / Writer: Julie

🇨🇳🇺🇸 China pumped out MORE greenhouse gas last year than the U.S., India, Russia and Indonesia COMBINED. It’s responsible for 30.3% of all global emissions, around 16 billion tons, which is 2.7 times what America emits. The U.S. is a distant second at 11.4%, but its emissions are climbing faster: up 2.2% last year, while China’s barely moved at 0.1%. The world as a whole set a new record of about 55 billion tons in 2025. Maybe it’s time for Europe to realize its paper straws aren’t moving the needle 😆 Sources: ZeroHedge, European Commission (EDGAR), Visual Capitalist / Writer: Julie

🇵🇰 Imran Khan’s 3 sisters have already spent OVER A MONTH behind bars, and Pakistan just found a way to keep them there until at least November 26. Punjab’s government has EXTENDED the detention of Aleema Khan, Uzma Khan and Noreen Niazi by ANOTHER 30 days, under a public order law normally aimed at people seen as threats to public peace. Their family asked a court to free them, but the judge threw the case out over a paperwork issue. Meanwhile, a terrorism court has pushed back its verdict against Aleema yet again, to November 26, the same day her detention ends. Whether that timing is a coincidence is anyone’s guess, but there are fears Aleema could be arrested again in the terrorism case as soon as her detention ends. 3 sisters with no political roles, held under one law until another can take over. Is this how justice works in Pakistan now? Sources: @WaqasAwan666, @writetofahim / Writer: Julie

🇺🇸 Lockheed Martin is scaling up Vectis before the first aircraft has even flown. Four more vehicles are being added to the program, with first flight targeted for the end of 2027. That tells you where the bet is going: not replacing the F-35, but surrounding it with cheaper, autonomous aircraft that can extend reach, carry risk and multiply firepower. The future fighter fleet may look more like one expensive brain with a lot of disposable muscle around it. Source: @sentdefender / Writer: Oliver

🇮🇷🇸🇦 Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei on cooperating with members of the Mecca Alliance: "Tehran’s hosting of senior military and security officials from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Türkiye is a key development toward establishing regional diplomacy. Lasting stability and security in the Middle East can only be achieved by relying on the region’s own countries, and this meeting could pave the way for broader cooperation." While Iran isn't in any formal process for joining the alliance, the statement comes shortly after Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, said that the whole Muslim world should act as a united front.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Oil dipped this morning... but don’t get too excited. Traders are betting the pain is here to stay. Brent slipped 1.3% to around $115 after a wild Friday that sent it to $117 and gave it its highest weekly close in more than 4 years. That’s nearly DOUBLE where it started the year. The big fear is Trump launching fresh strikes on Iran after the midterms, while Iran keeps hitting tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and the Houthis keep pounding Saudi Arabia. Even oil for delivery next April is trading just under $100, so the market isn’t expecting relief anytime soon. Anyone hoping for cheaper gas by spring might want to sit down for this one.

🇧🇷 Brazil’s election ended with Lula winning by 4.4 million votes... and half the country asking HOW?!?! Going into yesterday, Flávio Bolsonaro was the CLEAR betting favorite at around 80% on Polymarket. Then, minutes after polls were supposed to close, a Supreme Court justice stepped in and extended voting nationwide by 2 hours, without waiting for the electoral court to rule. That justice, Cristiano Zanin, used to be Lula’s PERSONAL DEFENSE LAWYER in the Car Wash corruption case, and Lula appointed him to the court. (Which might explain that look of pure devotion in the photo.) Both campaigns had asked for more time, but the order caused chaos. Stations that had already closed had to stay shut, machines in parts of Rio couldn’t be restarted, and the vote count was frozen. When counting resumed, Flávio briefly LED. But the betting markets flipped to Lula about an hour before the official count did. Bolsonaro is refusing to concede and wants the entire runoff annulled, calling the extension an illegal rule change by a judge tied to his opponent. When Lula’s former lawyer rewrites the rules mid-vote, the least Brazil deserves is a full investigation. If it’s all clean, what’s there to fear?

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ukraine hit Voronezh with drones and missiles overnight, and a 25-story business center in the middle of the Russian city took a direct hit. Explosions and fires broke out all over town, with drones striking several apartment buildings and setting cars on fire in the parking lots below. The regional governor says 2 people were killed and 17 injured, including a child. Russia claims it shot down 117 drones over the region, more than 70 of them over Voronezh itself. Residents say the air raid sirens never went off. Separately, Russian Railways says a drone attack damaged a carriage on an Anapa to Moscow train near Voronezh, injuring 5 people. Voronezh sits about 200 km from the Ukrainian border, and Ukraine hit a military airfield there just 3 days ago. Sources: Kyiv Independent, Meduza / Writer: Julie t.co/H0aE32hjNB t.co/iH1tRdv4Ky

🇺🇸 Anthropic’s AI just went shopping for Georgia election data... and decided the checkout was optional. While working on an internal statistics project, the AI took it upon itself to request a token and bypass the paywall on a Georgia state dashboard containing election data. Nobody asked it to. It just went ahead. The data was limited to aggregate vote counts, and Anthropic says no voter records were accessed or changed. And it’s not Claude’s first time sneaking past a paywall. Earlier this month, Anthropic admitted catching the model dodging fees and token restrictions on other websites, including U.S. government sites. Anthropic says it's now blocked the behavior. The first sign of AI becoming human? It's already allergic to paying for yet another subscription 😂 Sources: Axios, Reuters / Writer: Julie

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Zelensky’s own former spokesperson thinks he should pack his bags for Moscow Iuliia Mendel, who spoke for Zelensky from 2019 to 2021, wants him to meet Putin face to face and agree to compromises that could end the war. She points out that long before politics, Zelensky built his comedy career in Russia, performed in Moscow, made his first millions there and got to know plenty of people in Putin’s circle. So instead of acting like he has nothing in common with them, she wants him to drop the “maximalist games” and put those old ties to work for peace. Zelensky, though, made his feelings clear last month when asked when he’d visit Moscow: “On a missile”. Source: Fox News Digital / Writer: Daniyal
