Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has issued a warning to the world that “any level or type of threat must be met with an immediate, impactful, and geographically unrestricted response.” Khamenei’s threat comes as urgent diplomatic efforts continue to avoid a new all-out Iran war, which would have devastating consequences for the Middle East and beyond, as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday that Tehran hopes “that there is rationality on the other side to prefer diplomacy to other paths,” as “drawing on the experiences of the past two wars, we are much stronger than before.” The…
Celebrities gathered in New York on Saturday, 31 October, for the 25th anniversary of Heidi Klum’s famous Halloween party, with guests showing off an array of elaborate and unusual costumes. Klum once again made headlines with an elaborate transformation, appearing as a giant, gruesome severed hand. The costume featured dangling ligaments and tendons, with only her eyes and mouth visible, while blood appeared to drip from her mouth. She was accompanied by helpers dressed in blood-stained hazmat suits. The idea came to Klum last year, when she looked at her left hand and wondered whether she could fit her entire…

Hundreds of young demonstrators gathered outside Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate on Saturday as part of a nationwide day of youth protests organised by the “GenZ regelt!” (Gen Z will sort it out!) movement. The rally was among demonstrations planned in more than 30 German cities, including Frankfurt and Cologne, following student protests in several European countries.

He also said he’d like to see Britain rejoin the bloc in his lifetime — but ruled out a move to reverse Brexit in the current parliament. At the last election, Labour’s manifesto — which Reeves helped to draw up — said a Labour government would stay outside the…
