Marco Rubio on Trump posting maps showing Iceland as part of the U.S.:

We’re not talking about social media posts. I’m here, we’re here meeting with a country we work very closely together on.

We do a lot of things together, and everything’s very positive in our relationship.

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa arrives in Riyadh for an official visit, during which he will meet Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Marco Rubio on Russia’s suspected plague case:

We already have measures in place to be able to address it if it’s something more serious than what so far has been acknowledged.

We encourage Russia to be transparent and share more information with the world so that all of us could react accordingly and appropriately.

UKMTO said an oil tanker transiting outbound through the Strait of Hormuz was struck by an unknown projectile on Oct. 5.

Trump:

My Rally crowds and enthusiasm are unbelievable! Nobody has ever seen anything like it. We are flipping races all over the place.

The Fake News knows it, but they don’t want to be truthful with their viewers. It’s all happening! The Dumocrats never counted on this.

Thanks you to the great Networks that are covering the Rallies in full. They are being rewarded with BIG RATINGS. Watch for the “Midterm Surprise!”

Trump:

Chicago is suffering an unprecedented and particularly violent crime wave that is getting worse by the day.

The Federal Government can extinguish it quickly and completely, but the Mayor of Chicago, or the Governor of Illinois, must ask for our help. What is wrong with them? Why aren’t they asking? TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa meets Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh.

Trump:

FoxNews spends more time covering the Jihadist and Dumocrat candidates than they do the good old fashioned Republicans, the people that have saved America, and are making it great again.

All they talk about is Dumocrat Jihadists like El-Sayed, with his softball interview by Martha MacCallum, and the like. She never interviews me like that.

They don’t show my record breaking Rallies the morning after, but others do, and that’s what MAGA is watching.

Fox is promoting the Dumocrats, not the Republicans and MAGA. They have totally lost their way!

Trump:

MY RALLIES ARE SAVING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, AGAIN!!!

Syrian Airlines unveiled a new visual identity at Damascus Airport, alongside upgraded booking and payment systems and a mobile app launching in November.

UK prosecutors say Andrew Tate created or shared indecent material involving a 17-year-old girl who worked for his webcam business, appeared in a sexualised video with her, shared footage of her on WhatsApp and knew she was underage.

Court filings say police found 168 indecent images and videos on Tate’s devices, including 66 Category A images — the UK’s most serious classification, involving acts such as penetrative sexual activity or sadistic abuse.

UK authorities are now seeking to extradite Tate and his brother Tristan from the U.S. to face 59 charges in total, including rape and sex trafficking.

Trump:

What’s happening in France is nothing less than out of control mass migration. This isn’t about schools, this is about Islam wanting to take over a once great Country!

The U.S. approved potential arms sales worth $2.27 billion to the UAE, Egypt and Kuwait.

The UAE could receive $1.04 billion in precision-guidance systems, Egypt $832 million in Javelin missiles, and Kuwait $400 million in Patriot missile repair and support services.

Sweden will deploy a Patriot air defense system and about 100 troops to Poland from Dec. 1 to protect a NATO logistics hub supplying Ukraine.

The Rzeszow hub handles around 18,000 tons of equipment each month and is considered a potential target for Russian drone or missile attacks.

NEW: Pakistan successfully tested an extended-range version of its Fatah-4 cruise missile, a terrain-hugging weapon that flies at about 50 meters altitude to evade air defenses.

The baseline version has a 750 km range with ~5 meter accuracy.

The military confirmed the new variant flies farther but didn't say how far.

It's a conventional weapon under Pakistan's Army Rocket Force Command, separate from its nuclear arsenal.

Mali's Tuareg forces announced a "controlled withdrawal" from the strategic town of Kidal after airstrikes by the Malian military backed by Russia's Africa Corps.

The Tuareg forces and al-Qaeda-linked JNIM had seized Kidal in April.

Malian forces previously retook it in late 2023 with Wagner support.

Kidal is the gateway to northern Mali — whoever holds it controls the route between Gao (the north's largest city, held by the government) and the vast Saharan interior where separatists and jihadists operate.
