🇺🇸🇬🇧 Chris Brown faces sentencing in London today over a nightclub brawl in which he attacked a music producer with a bottle. He pleaded guilty to affray in July following the February 2023 incident at Tape nightclub in the city's exclusive Mayfair district. Prosecutors said the confrontation, involving music producer Abraham Diaw, was captured on surveillance footage in front of clubgoers. In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors dropped more serious charges, including attempted grievous bodily harm. Chris was arrested at a Manchester hotel in May 2025 after returning to Britain for a concert, but was later released on £5 million ($6.7 million) bail, allowing him to continue touring. He now faces a maximum of three years in prison, adding to a troubled legal history that includes his 2009 conviction for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna. His friend and vocal coach, Omololu Akinlolu, will also be sentenced after pleading guilty to affray. Source: ABC / Writer: Mhedi t.co/f0zqL2S5Ng

🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷 Netanyahu reportedly wanted to hit Iran before Israel’s election. Trump said not yet, and Israel had little choice but to listen. Its missile defense stocks have been stretched thin by the war, and with Iran and the Houthis expected to retaliate right away, Israel needs U.S. help to absorb the response. So Israel has agreed to wait and is now gearing up for joint operations with the U.S. The plans are allegedly ready and just waiting for Trump’s sign-off, which could come right after the midterms. Defense Minister Israel Katz denies the election part, insisting Israel never intended to attack Iran before the vote and calling the reports complete lies. Source: CNN / Writer: Julie

🇧🇷 Flávio Bolsonaro on one of the reasons he objects to losing yesterday's election: "What happened today was not something normal. In fact, it was something unacceptable.

🇺🇸 Apple's first foldable iPhone is folding... just not in the way anyone hoped. iPhone Duo owners are posting pictures of cracked screens all over Reddit, some just HOURS after unboxing. And the damage keeps showing up in the exact same spot. Now a YouTuber thinks he's found out why. He cracked his own Duo during a durability test, ripped it apart, and found a tiny link in the hinge had snapped right at its weakest point. That little piece of metal may be behind a very expensive headache for Apple's newest gadget. Source: The Verge / Writer: Julie t.co/n9tPoydhDz

🇧🇷 Flávio Bolsonaro is understandably pissed at the way Lula manipulated yesterday's elections in Brazil: "I will not accept that the rules of the game were changed at the last minute, once again, by Lula's friends in the Federal Supreme Court. It is inexplicable that this happened. There is a lot to be clarified before Brazil simply recognizes this dirty trick that took place in these elections. I will not give up on my Brazil."

🇧🇷 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?
