Polish police received information about a possible attack on Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz.

The government ordered security services to investigate, with an emergency counterterrorism meeting scheduled amid heightened security following a series of school attacks.

At least 109 migrants, including 15 children, died and over 116 remain missing after a boat carrying 350 capsized off Djibouti on October 8–9, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

The boat was heading from Djibouti to Yemen when it capsized near Obock.

More than 80 Ethiopian migrants survived, while search and rescue operations continue.

The route is used by tens of thousands of migrants from the Horn of Africa seeking work and better living conditions in Gulf countries, despite the dangers of the crossing and ongoing violence in Yemen.

Türkiye Bans Foreign EVs From Major Defense Facilities over Security Risks

Four major Turkish defense companies have barred foreign electric vehicles from entering their facilities over concerns that onboard cameras, sensors and software could pose surveillance and cybersecurity risks.

Iran's IRGC Navy says a supertanker carrying more than 2 million barrels of crude oil struck a naval mine in the Strait of Hormuz, causing a massive explosion and fire.

JD Vance:

Some reporter will come and say, "Well, Donald Trump said this terrible thing. Do you disavow it?"

And then I'll go and look at what he said. I'll be like, "Actually, not only do I not disavow it, you're lying about what he said. And what he actually said is totally correct. It's 100% right."

Hillary Clinton:

People ask me all the time, are we going to be able to rebuild and repair the damage? I hope so, but it's going to take time because a lot of people feel that they've been let down, maybe even lied to from time to time.

And that's not just a problem of our government. That's really a national problem.

We have to restore our trustworthiness in order to restore our leadership.

Canada's Carney:

We trade more with the U.S. than elsewhere. A number of our other relationships, some of our defense relationships, technology relationships, have a high degree of integration with the United States.

That creates real leverage over Canada. And in some cases, the United States administration has either used that leverage or threatened to use that leverage.

Canada's Carney:

We've got to take care of ourselves, and we always take care of each other. That's what we are as Canadians. We stand up for ourselves.

Where else in the world can I trade? Instead of going north-south, why don't I go east and why don't I go west and build more independence, more options for myself as a business?

Zelensky says Starlink terminals shut down at speeds above 161 km/h in Ukraine, while tests show they continue working above 180 km/h in the EU.

He calls the restrictions a “planned operation,” saying they prevent Ukraine from using some interceptor drones against jet-powered Shaheds and delivering supplies to isolated frontline positions.

Zelensky:

The lifting of sanctions against Russia will continue. The diesel deal is only the first step.

Iran is reportedly providing the Houthis with intelligence, weapons, training and direct assistance in targeting drone and missile strikes against Saudi Arabia.

Iranian Revolutionary Guard officers are reportedly helping direct attacks on the ground, contributing to Houthi territorial gains and their seizure of Yemen’s coastline along the strategic Bab al-Mandeb Strait.

WATCH: German Chancellor Merz faced a call to resign from a delegate of his own CDU youth wing at a party conference in Bonn today.

The delegate accused Merz of betraying younger generations through pension policies and government debt, arguing that public trust in him had collapsed.

“If you care so much about your country and your party, get into your official car, drive to the federal president and ask to be dismissed,” he said.

Merz did not address the resignation demand.

Germany's Chancellor Merz:

They want to transform this republic toward the far right, and we must oppose that as well.

Anyone from our ranks who believes that such people should be elected to public office has absolutely no place in the CDU of Germany.

Absolutely none.
