Friedrich Merz steht vor einer heiklen Mission:Der CDU-Chef trifft auf die Kreisvorsitzenden und damit auf die teils kritischsten offiziellen Stimmen seiner Partei. Nach schmerzhaften Wahlniederlagen prallen Hauptstadt-Blase und Parteibasis aufeinander. Rasmus Buchsteiner analysiert, wie viel Druck hinter verschlossenen Türen auf dem Kanzler lastet und ob er das Vertrauen der eigenen Leute zurückgewinnen kann. Im 200-Sekunden-Interview macht Serap Güler, Kölner CDU-Kreisvorsitzende und Staatsministerin im Auswärtigen Amt, klare Ansagen an die Parteispitze. Sie fordert eine bessere Kommunikation und eine unmissverständliche Haltung zur AfD. Ob die Basis wirklich noch bedingungslos hinter Merz und diesen Forderungen steht? Auf dem diplomatischen Parkett rücken Berlin und…
US President Donald Trump round up his midterm campaign efforts on Sunday, holding rallies in Iowa and Kansas, while divisions emerged among Democrats in Michigan, threatening to undermine their effort to retake the Senate. The president was in Salina, Kansas, and Dubuque, Iowa, where Republicans are facing strong competition from Democratic candidates in both states. However in Iowa, Trump insisted Republicans are on the verge of sweeping victories. “We’re going to elect ‘America first’ Republicans up and down the line,” he said near the start of a speech that lasted two hours. Trump later travelled to Kansas, where Air Force…
The jet lag has barely worn off, but Brussels is already grappling with what its new relationship with Canada could actually look like. After the 48-hour whirlwind EU-Canada summit in Montreal, Prime Minister Mark Carney has given the EU six months to hash out what “associate membership” actually means. On the show, Zoya Sheftalovich and Nick Vinocur unpack the deals struck at the summit and what lies ahead for the relations between the two powers. Next, after last month’s unwieldy European Council summit drew criticism of its president, Antonio Costa, he’s doubling down on his push to secure a budget…

That unpopularity has led to speculation that Hegseth could be out after an electoral blowout for Trump, partially because a Democrat-led Congress would slap Hegseth with probes into his firing of dozens of generals and admirals with no cause, and the faltering war with Iran. Those hearings and investigations would hamstring Hegseth and his team, and could prove embarrassing for the administration. If Hegseth does move on, there would be a transition period in the Pentagon which could push any decisions about moving U.S. troops out of Europe back by weeks or months. In theory, a Democrat majority in the…

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…
Zelenskyy’s comments came as Russian authorities reported a “massive” Ukrainian drone strike overnight on an industrial facility in the Nizhny Novgorod region. “A massive drone attack occurred overnight and this morning in the Nizhny Novgorod region: more than a hundred drones were destroyed,” Gleb Nikitin, the region’s governor, wrote on Telegram on Sunday. “According to preliminary reports, there were no casualties,” he said, adding that an industrial facility in the Kstovsky district sustained “significant damage.” “During the restoration process, temporary power outages and reduced hot water and heating services are possible in certain sections of the utility networks supplying residential…
