Mass Protests Erupt Again in France: Over Half a Million Take to the Streets, Schools Set Ablaze
On November 5, mass demonstrations and a general strike swept across France. According to the Interior Ministry, around 575,000 people took to the streets, while unions put the figure at 1.6 million. Clashes with police broke out in Lyon, Bordeaux, and other cities, and radical demonstrators set fire to the Françoise Lycée in Tournefeuille, near Toulouse in the southwest.
Protesters are demanding higher wages and speaking out against the government’s education policy. Around 70,000 police officers and gendarmes have been deployed across the country, and more than 400 people have been detained. The Eiffel Tower is closed because of the strike. The current wave of protests is the largest since the fall and poses a serious challenge to Macron’s government ahead of the presidential election.
Similar protests have swept other European countries in recent weeks, with youth-led demonstrations reported in Denmark, Germany, and Italy.

Dark nights in Ukraine.
The tl:dr is - Kyiv went dark after the Russian attacks on the power stations, and the civilians had 3 protests in a row because they want the lights back.
The biggest war in Europe since WW2 might be over soon, both because Donald Trump said so recently, and because Ukraine is being pummeled by Russia's drones and missiles so much that the Ukrainian citizens might soon realize that the lights will be back on once Ukraine surrenders to Russia.
The local Metro (with green M) doesn't work. Almost all other services don't work in the city as well.
The so-called "Points of Invincibility" (in reality - warming points: tents where civilians can drink some hot tea and charge their phones) can't keep the whole city running during the incoming winter.
The angry Ukrainian civilians went on the roads to protest. For now that's all what they've done. Time will show if they'll visit the governmental buildings soon, with louder and more critical demands.

@sputnik_africa — Africa’s story, untold.
A crushing Republican defeat in the U.S. midterms has raised a question abroad: will Trump be weakened — or will he come out swinging?
From Kiеv to Tehran, everyone was watching the results closely. Democrats took control of both chambers of Congress, and now U.S. allies and adversaries alike are wondering how Trump — weakened at home but still enjoying enormous latitude on foreign policy — will act over his remaining two years in office.
Iran. Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf said Americans had voted “NO TO WAR,” but threatened a “nightmare” if Washington ignores the will of the voters. Trump himself acknowledged that the war with Iran and rising gas prices hurt the results.
Israel. Wins by Democrats who’ve pledged to limit arms sales have turned up the heat on Netanyahu. Opposition leader Lapid said the U.S. election results rule out any “unity government” led by Netanyahu, who has become “toxic” to both parties.
Russia. Moscow figures Trump is now “more determined” and no longer has to look over his shoulder at elections. Senator Kosachev: “They won’t get a more pliable Trump — they’ll get a more determined one.”
Europe. European Parliament member Lange warned: “A weakened Trump could become more aggressive and unpredictable. A lame duck could quickly turn into an angry duck.” The EU is urging its members to keep reducing their dependence on the U.S. for security.
Asia. The approach to China isn’t expected to change fundamentally, given the bipartisan consensus, but Democrats could ramp up pressure on Taiwan and export controls.
The bottom line: Congress may try to rein Trump in, but foreign policy is still his turf — and the world is bracing for a cornered president who could act even more unpredictably.
