Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and right-wing senator Flavio Bolsonaro rally their supporters one last time on Saturday, converging on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro and closing a fraught election campaign one day after a combative final live television debate.

But in the intervening 3 weeks of intense and acrimonious campaigning the left-wing incumbent seems to have made up some ground. 80-year-old Lula aims for historic 4th non-consecutive term Lula, who got his start as a union worker and became the country’s first working class…

Published on 24/10/2026 – 16:31 GMT+2 Israeli forces pushed into the West Bank city of Hebron on Saturday and displaced up to 250 families, some in the middle of the night, vowing a heavy price over a deadly attack on two soldiers. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was planning an operation on a scale not seen since Israel first occupied the West Bank in 1967. The lockdown comes after Palestinian militants killed two Israeli soldiers on Friday at a checkpoint near Hebron, a flashpoint city in which hardline Israeli settlers live surrounded by local Palestinians. The operation is taking…
A fire engulfed the Eagle’s Nest, Adolf Hitler’s former retreat in the Bavarian Alps, on Saturday, 24 October. The historic site, known in German as the Kehlsteinhaus, sits atop the Obersalzberg mountain near Berchtesgaden and is difficult to access. Around 200 firefighters were deployed to tackle the blaze, while German police said they had detained a suspect. Webcam footage shows flames and smoke rising from the site. The cause of the fire has not been confirmed.
After a scheduled January videoconference with his counterpart Wang Wentao, Šefčovič said he hopes the two can deliver results in March 2027 at their next round of in-person talks in Brussels. “I would like to see that we both have an understanding of what sectors we are going to focus on next,” he said. The intense engagement with China comes as the bloc seeks to rebalance mutual economic ties, which EU officials say have been distorted by Chinese subsidies, market barriers and a surge in imports. Šefčovič stressed the urgency of the task, given that the EU’s trade deficit with…
Smoke plumes rose over the Russian city of Oryol after a reported Ukrainian attack on a factory, footage published on social media on 23 October shows. The local governor said three people were killed in the strike, while emergency services reported that five others were seriously wounded and receiving intensive care. The location of the video was verified using satellite imagery, but the date and circumstances in which the footage was filmed remain unknown.
Nuñez was heavily criticized for his handling of last Saturday’s protests, and has been accused of underestimating both the number of protesters and the potential for violent incidents. He announced on Friday that 70,000 police officers would be deployed, 10,000 more than last weekend. The government has since imposed local curfews and banned public demonstrations in several cities including Lyon and the city centers of Nice or Lille. Macron also instructed local authorities to ban protests on Saturday except those organized by unions. The move drew backlash from unions, left-wing parties and human rights groups such as Amnesty International, which…
Italian soldiers and police are patrolling Milan as the city prepares for fresh protests on Saturday, a week after clashes and looting hit the fashion and finance capital. Authorities have deployed an additional 500 soldiers to support existing security forces, while shops, including luxury boutiques and major retailers, have boarded up their windows amid fears of further violence. Security measures include surveillance drones, checks at railway stations and rapid-response units. Officials are concerned that protesters could move into other neighbourhoods to avoid heavily policed areas.
SpaceX’s Starlink and Starshield satellite communications services have been restored in Ukraine, allowing the country’s forces to operate drones at high speed, Defense Minister Yevhenii Khmara said on Saturday. “The Ministry of Defense’s monitoring systems indicate that Starlink/Starshield speeds have been restored,” Khmara told reporters in WhatsApp messages. “We are recording speeds exceeding 400 km/h, and the connection is stable.” Since last week, Kyiv had been reporting speed limits on Starshield, Starlink’s military-grade service, affecting Ukraine’s ability to use drones and carry out defensive strikes. The throttling came amid growing tensions between Washington and Kyiv, with Trump blaming President Volodymyr…
