The UK and other European nations must draw closer together as the US becomes a less-reliable partner, Keir Starmer has said in his first significant political intervention since leaving No 10.
The former prime minister warned European leaders of the threat posed by Russia, among others, and said the shift in relations with Washington during Donald Trump’s presidency was not likely to reset once he leaves the Oval Office. He accused them of being caught out by these new realities twice already.
“A stronger Europe is vital and the UK must be at the heart of it,” Starmer told an audience at the British Irish Chamber of Commerce on Friday. “Europe has twice been caught asleep, failing to anticipate and prepare for predictable events. » | Kevin Rawlinson | Saturday, October 31, 2026

Carney Commits Canada to Becoming European Union’s First ‘Associate Member’
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The move is part of the Canadian prime minister’s effort to reduce American influence over Canada and expand trade to other parts of the world.

In the few months since Prime Minister Mark Carney made closer ties between Canada and Europe a priority as an alternative to the United States, the continent could be considered a less appealing partner.
In France, demonstrations have left thousands of buildings burned or looted and at least 1,000 police officers injured. A far-right political party that wants to rethink France’s relationship with the European Union is leading in the polls. Investors are shunning French debt as credit rating agencies sound warnings about its high level.
In Germany this month, a far-right party began overseeing a state’s legislature, a first since the Nazi era. Across much of Europe, centrist parties are losing ground to populist movements on the far right or the far left.
Despite all that, Mr. Carney appeared undeterred with his plans on Friday after hosting what was billed as a summit meeting in Montreal with Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, and António Costa, president of the European Council.
Mr. Carney announced that the parties would conclude talks on making Canada an “associate member” of the European Union by June 2027. More important, those negotiations will also define that affiliation, which does not currently exist within the group.
Until Friday, Mr. Carney had shied away from using “associate member” or any other name to describe closer relations with Europe.
“We are working towards the deepest possible partnership — short of accession because of our geography — with Canada becoming the European Union’s first associate member,” Mr. Carney said at a news conference after the meetings. “We’re leveraging and complementing each other’s strengths and building our resilience. Creating more choice, ensuring that we are not beholden to others. In fact, we are building a trans-Atlantic age between Canada and the European Union.” » | Ian Austen | Reporting from Montreal | Friday, October 30, 2026

Can the World Still Trust America? | Martin Wolf on the US Midterms | FT | Reupload
Oct 24, 2026 | As Americans prepare to vote in the November 3 midterm elections, FT chief economics commentator Martin Wolf asks what the result will mean for Donald Trump, the future of US democracy and America's place in the world.
In the second of a six-part series of interviews with leading historians and political analysts, Martin speaks to Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and author Anne Applebaum about the global stakes of November’s elections. They discuss the parallels between Trump’s America and other authoritarian regimes and what the US’s changing role means for Europe and Ukraine. Even if Trump suffers a political setback, can the US ever regain the trust of its allies?

Flavio Bolsonaro affirme avoir quitté le Brésil pour fuir une «persécution»
LE FIGARO : L’ex-candidat de droite à la présidentielle au Brésil, qui a quitté le pays après sa défaite, a justifié vendredi sa fuite aux États-Unis par une « persécution » dont il se dit victime.
L’ex-candidat de droite à la présidentielle au Brésil Flavio Bolsonaro, qui a quitté le pays après sa défaite, a justifié vendredi sa fuite par une « persécution » dont il se dit victime. « La persécution a commencé même plus tôt que je ne l’imaginais », a déclaré le sénateur lors d’un direct sur Instagram, où il est revenu sur sa décision de fuir le Brésil pour les États-Unis via l’Argentine et l’Équateur.
Dans cette vidéo, Flavio Bolsonaro racontait que lundi, en sortant de rendre visite à son père assigné à résidence, l’ancien président Jair Bolsonaro, la police l’avait informé qu’on lui retirait ses passeports dans le cadre d’une enquête sur des soupçons de blanchiment d’argent. « Les yeux pleins de larmes, il m’a dit : “Tu sais déjà où ils veulent en venir avec ça, non ?” », a-t-il confié. « Je lui ai dit : “Papa, je sais déjà (...). Maintenant je sais ce que je dois faire” », a-t-il ajouté.
Flavio Bolsonaro a assuré avoir pris sa décision de fuir avec son épouse « sans que personne ne le sache », et a demandé de ne « pointer du doigt personne ». L’ex-candidat est arrivé en Floride (sud-est des États-Unis) à bord d’un jet privé mercredi, au terme d’un périple rocambolesque passant par l’Argentine et l’Équateur.

Die Hinrichtung von Edmund Heines - schwuler SA-Führer und Mörder- Nacht der langen Messer
Feb 21, 2024 | Edmund Heines war eine der gefürchtetsten und gewalttätigsten Figuren innerhalb der frühen nationalsozialistischen Bewegung, ein hoher Führer der Sturmabteilung (SA), dessen Brutalität Adolf Hitler an die Macht brachte – bevor sie ihn schließlich selbst zu einer Belastung für das Regime machte.
Als enger Verbündeter von Ernst Röhm, dem Führer der SA, verkörperte Heines die radikale Straßen¬gewalt, die die nationalsozialistische Politik in den Jahren vor 1933 prägte. Als ausgezeichneter Veteran des Ersten Weltkriegs schloss sich Heines nach Deutschlands Niederlage den Freikorps an und erwarb sich rasch den Ruf äußerster Grausamkeit. Er beteiligte sich persönlich an Misshandlungen und Morden an politischen Gegnern und wurde während der Weimarer Republik wiederholt mit schweren Gewalttaten in Verbindung gebracht.
Trotz all dessen, oder vielleicht gerade deshalb, stieg er schnell innerhalb der NSDAP auf und wurde zu einem der engsten Vertrauten Röhms. Heines war zudem offen homosexuell, ebenso wie Röhm, eine Tatsache, die geduldet wurde, solange die SA Hitlers Aufstieg diente, später jedoch gezielt gegen sie eingesetzt wurde.
Bis 1934 war die SA zu einer Massenorganisation mit Millionen Mitgliedern angewachsen, was Deutschlands militärische Führung und konservative Eliten alarmierte. Hitler, der einen Kontrollverlust fürchtete, entschied sich, seine früheren Verbündeten auszuschalten.
Während der Nacht der langen Messer im Juni 1934 wurde Heines von der SS in Bad Wiessee verhaftet. Nach mehreren Berichten wurde er im Bett mit einem jungen männlichen Begleiter angetroffen.
Als er sich weigerte, den Anweisungen Folge zu leisten, ordnete Hitler persönlich seine Erschießung an. Heines wurde noch am selben Tag erschossen und wurde zu einem der prominentesten Opfer der Säuberung, die die Führung der SA zerstörte.
Der Tod Edmund Heines’ veranschaulicht die rücksichtslose Logik des nationalsozialistischen Systems: Loyalität bot keinen Schutz, Gewalt gebar nur neue Gewalt, und diejenigen, die halfen, das Regime aufzubauen, wurden oft als Erste von ihm vernichtet. Seine Geschichte legt die inneren Widersprüche der nationalsozialistischen Ideologie offen, die Machtkämpfe innerhalb des Dritten Reiches und die tödlichen Folgen uneingeschränkter Herrschaft.

Will Trump Accept the 2026 Midterm Results? Here's What He Said...
Oct 30, 2026 | As the 2026 midterm elections approach, Donald Trump has reignited a strategy of pre-emptively casting doubt on the legitimacy of upcoming votes in key states. Through public statements, executive actions, legal filings by the Department of Justice, and campaign trail rhetoric, the administration has laid the groundwork to challenge potential election outcomes.
In recent comments to reporters, President Trump stated he would only accept the 2026 midterm results if he deems them "honest," repeating claims regarding potential fraud while conditioning his acceptance on his own assessment of fairness. In this video, we break down the latest statements from the White House, ongoing legal actions involving federal challenges in states like California, Washington, and Alaska, and how political analysts and legal experts view the broader strategy leading up to Election Day.

„Macht keinen Lärm“: Pentagon bittet Europäer offenbar, weniger stark vor Putins Russland zu warnen
Im September warnten die Geheimdienstchefs von Tschechien, Lettland und Schweden vor möglicherweise bevorstehenden, weiteren russischen Aggressionen gegen Europa. Es ging vor allem um eine Ausweitung des bereits laufenden „Schattenkriegs“. Warnungen dieser Art, die mitunter auch einen russischen Einmarsch innerhalb der nächsten Jahre einschließen, haben sich jüngst gemehrt. Was dem US-Verteidigungsministerium offenbar nicht gefällt.
Bitte richtet sich offenbar insbesondere ans Baltikum
Die Nachrichtenagentur Reuters berichtet, dass Pentagon-Mitarbeiter in den vergangenen Wochen mehrere Nato-Länder darum gebeten haben, ihre Rhetorik hinsichtlich der von Russland ausgehenden Bedrohung zu mäßigen. Einige Äußerungen europäischer Politiker hätten die Sicherheit auf dem Kontinent untergraben, berichteten vier mit der Angelegenheit vertraute Beamte aus Europa und den USA. » | Tagesspiegel | Freitag, 30.

How Trump Is Dismantling America’s Scientific Research Machine
THE NEW YORKK TIMES: The system that has driven life-altering discoveries and helped make the United States a superpower is now under intense strain.
The warning, buried in an obscure government report this summer, was unflinching.
The Defense Department’s vaunted network of research laboratories — whose scientists helped develop satellite communication, radar technology, and even the computer mouse — was in trouble.
The labs lost a significant share of their staff last year, largely in response to the Trump administration’s efforts to thin the federal work force, the report found. Refilling critical positions was proving difficult due in part to President Trump’s demand that new hires be screened for their loyalty to his goals. The report, issued by the Pentagon, pointed to “potentially grave consequences for the future of national defense.”
The turmoil inside scientific research has extended beyond the Pentagon. The Energy Department, a key hub of nuclear and quantum research, has lost more than 1,000 scientists and technical staff. The National Science Foundation, for decades a primary backer of long-term, foundational research, has withheld more than $1 billion in funding. And at the National Institutes of Health, the biggest funder of medical research, officials delayed or canceled more than 2,000 grants to biomedical researchers focused on topics such as Alzheimer’s, cancer and other diseases.
Under Mr. Trump, the federal government is still spending roughly as much on research — about $200 billion this year — as the administrations that came before. Scientists across the country are still receiving grants; universities are still being funded. But beneath the surface, the system of federally funded science that helped make the United States a global superpower is under intense strain from Trump policies, jeopardizing the nation’s advantages in defense, medicine and technology, a New York Times examination has found. » | Christopher Flavelle, Irena Hwang, Adam Sella, Alan Blinder, Sheryl Gay Stolberg, Benjamin Mueller and Michael C.

US Cancels G20 ‘Family Photo’ after Australia, UK and Others Refuse to Appear with Russia
THE GUARDIAN: Marco Rubio pulls plug on traditional photo op at meeting of foreign ministers after about one-third of countries threaten boycott

The traditional “family photo” to open the G20 foreign ministers’ meeting has been abruptly cancelled in the US after a host of nations – including Australia and the UK – refused to appear beside the Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov.
The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, pulled the plug after several European officials, the UK and Australia made it known they would boycott or walk out of the snapshot that often kicks off such international gatherings.
Rubio still opened the talks in Atlanta with an appeal for unity on the issues that threaten international security and trade.
“We are in a critical moment,” Rubio told his colleagues. “We are facing a series of interconnected economic and geopolitical crises.”
About one-third of countries at the talks made it known they would not appear beside any Russian representatives.
European Union nations had made clear they would boycott any photo with the Russians. “In no case will there be a family photo with European partners and Mr Lavrov together because … there is no normality with Russia,” Germany’s foreign affairs minister, Johann Wadephul, warned ahead of Friday’s session.
The UK foreign secretary, Ed Miliband, promised similar. “We do not engage in that way with the Russians and have not for a number of years,” he said. » | Ben Doherty and Associated Press | Saturday, October 31, 2026

Amateur Morons’: Flávio Bolsonaro’s Short-lived ‘President-elect’ Claim Met with Mockery
THE GUARDIAN: Brazilian media ridicule defeated candidate over ‘shameful’ absconsion to US and bizarre letter with wrong coat of arms

Flávio Bolsonaro had hoped that by Sunday night people would be calling him the next president of Brazil.
Instead, the far-right politician’s decision to flee to the US after losing the election and – for 58 minutes – to declare himself “Brazil’s true president-elect”, has made him a laughing stock, with Brazilian newspapers and commentators raining a barrage of scornful adjectives down on the conquered candidate.
“If it served any purpose at all, Flávio’s foolishness liberated the democratic right from a family of coup-mongers, which for far too long held it hostage to their reckless folly and irremediable disdain for Brazil,” the conservative Estado de São Paulo newspaper thundered on Friday.
Bolsonaro fled to Miami on Tuesday night, 48 hours after being beaten by his leftwing adversary, the incumbent president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, by 4.4m votes. Lula’s victory has been recognised by rightwing leaders from around the world, including El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele and Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, not to mention Bolsonaro’s own party and many key allies. » | Tom Phillips in Rio de Janeiro | Friday, October 30, 2026

Bolsonaro fled to Miami on Tuesday night, 48 hours after being beaten by his leftwing adversary, the incumbent president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, by 4.4m votes. Lula’s victory has been recognised by rightwing leaders from around the world, including El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele and Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, not to mention Bolsonaro’s own party and many key allies. » | Tom Phillips in Rio de Janeiro | Friday, October 30, 2026
1930s Britain in Colour: Depression, Fascism and the Road to War | Full Documentary
Oct 28, 2026 | Britain in the 1930s was a decade of social change, economic hardship, and growing political tensions. As the Great Depression affected millions, the country faced the rise of fascism at home and the increasing threat of Nazi Germany.

But unemployment and poverty also sparked protests, including the Jarrow March led by Ellen Wilkinson and the strike by the herring girls of Great Yarmouth.
As Adolf Hitler consolidated power in Germany, Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists gained support in Britain. The Battle of Cable Street in 1936 brought thousands into the streets of London to oppose the Blackshirts, while the Kinder Scout Mass Trespass challenged restrictions on access to the countryside.
The controversial 1935 football match between England and Nazi Germany reveals further tensions as Britain sought to avoid another war.

Police 'Have Received information' about Epstein's Visit to Balmoral Castle
Oct 30, 2026 | Detectives are investigating the time Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell spent at the King’s private estate in Scotland.
Police Scotland said it had received “information” and a probe is at a “very early stage” into the time the disgraced royal spent with the late paedophile financier at Balmoral.
The Daily Express reported the inquiries relate to claims that women were trafficked to the estate. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied any wrongdoing regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Michael Lambert: The World at the Mercy of the Villain in the White House
Oct 30, 2026 | With the Trump midterms just days away, I look at why Donald Trump is unlikely to ever accept defeat — and why that matters for America and the whole world.
In this video I argue that Trump behaves like an uncontrollable supervillain figure whose decisions affect us all, from the midterm elections 2026 to war in Iran, the pardons for January 6th figures, the role of ICE, cuts to science, education and healthcare, and tax cuts for the rich.
I also cover his obsession with legacy and wealth, from White House projects to gold statues, and his threats and posturing over Greenland, Panama, Canada, Cuba, Venezuela and the red-carpet meeting with Putin in Alaska.
My central prediction: with Republicans expected to lose the House and possibly the Senate, Trump will never concede and will claim the vote was rigged or stolen, triggering long disputes.
Is the world now at the mercy of one man in the White House?

Canada and Europe have announced a new alliance of like-minded nations to serve as both a “protective canopy under which our citizens can thrive” and a powerful hedge against the unpredictable nature of geopolitics, while welcoming other countries to join.
Speaking to reporters on Friday from Montreal, the prime minister, Mark Carney, and the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, called the new partnership the Alliance for the Future and said the “deepest possible partnership between Canada and the 27-member bloc had the potential to offer unprecedented stability and opportunity”.
“Our societies have been shaken by new storms,” Carney told reporters, referring to the damaging effects of the climate emergency but also the “erosion of democratic norms” and “the weaponization of trade”.
As they concluded their two-day summit, Canada agreed to contribute to a €90bn support loan for Ukraine. Leaders also said future discussions would lead to a more integrated market worth tens of billions of dollars, reduced trade and travel restrictions, and new educational opportunities for both sides. » | Leyland Cecco in Toronto | Friday, October 20, 2026

Why Is Netanyahu Accusing Palestinian Israeli Parties of Fraud? | Inside Story
Oct 30, 2026 | The votes are counted in Israel's general elections. But Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Palestinian Israeli parties of ‘stealing' the polls and accepting funding from Qatar to do it. But those parties have denied wrongdoing.

Will Trump Attack Iran Again? | The Economist
Oct 30, 2026 | Will Donald Trump re-escalate the Iran war if he loses the midterms? American history is full of lame-duck presidents who, powerless at home, turn to foreign policy to exercise authority. Mr Trump could soon join the flock.
Congress is up for grabs at the midterms on November 3rd. The Economist’s election model predicts that Democrats are very likely to take control of the House, and could win the Senate, too. If Republicans take a thumping at the polls, how could an embattled Mr Trump react abroad?
Zanny Minton Beddoes, The Economist’s editor-in-chief, and Edward Carr, deputy editor, are joined by Shashank Joshi, our Washington bureau chief, and David Rennie, our geopolitics editor on this week’s episode of The Insider. They’ll discuss the likelihood of Mr Trump escalating the war in Iran after next week’s elections and whether Congress has any chance of stopping the president.

Qu’est-ce que le «vortex polaire» dont la perturbation pourrait provoquer un épisode de froid en novembre ?
LE FIGARO : Si le phénomène n’est pas rare, son « apparition dès le début du mois de novembre serait exceptionnelle », indique la Chaîne météo.
Va-t-on devoir sortir bonnets, gants et autres accessoires d’hiver plus tôt que prévu ? En tout cas, un « réchauffement stratosphérique soudain », entraînant une perturbation du « vortex polaire » est envisagé autour du 6 novembre, indique La Chaîne Météo *. Le « vortex polaire » est une masse d’air froid situé au-dessus de l’Arctique. Sa perturbation par un « réchauffement stratosphérique soudain » peut modifier la circulation atmosphérique, favoriser les descentes d’air froid et ainsi faire baisser les températures. » | Par Valentin Hermier | vendredi 30 octobre 2026

Binance Suspends Withdrawals After Crypto Hackers Steal $6.3 Billion
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The crypto exchange said it was compromised in what could be the biggest crypto heist ever. One research lab attributed the theft to “North Korea’s elite hacking unit.”

Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, said on Thursday that it had halted withdrawals after it was attacked by hackers who made off with more than $6 billion in digital coins, in what appears to be the biggest crypto heist in history.
The exact nature of the attack was not immediately clear. Binance’s founder, the crypto billionaire Changpeng Zhao, said it “does look like a hack.” The company said it had temporarily suspended all deposits and withdrawals and that its customers would be made whole.
Binance said that it would cover all losses, estimated at about $6.3 billion. The company said that it had coordinated with other crypto firms to freeze about $3 billion in assets that were swept up in the hack.
The attack appeared to be the work of “North Korea’s elite hacking unit,” according to TRM Labs, a crypto research firm. The firm had “high confidence” in its assessment, it said, based on features of the hack that resembled previous thefts. TRM Labs estimated that the hackers had shifted about $2.4 billion in crypto coins “beyond any issuer’s reach.” » | David Yaffe-Bellany and Ryan Mac | David Yaffe-Bellany covers the cryptocurrency industry.

Mussolini: From Hitler's Idol to Hitler's Puppet | Full Documentary
Oct 29, 2026 | Benito Mussolini rose from radical socialist agitator to founder of Fascism and dictator of Italy, using Blackshirt violence, propaganda and mass rallies to crush opposition and seize power. After the March on Rome in 1922, Il Duce dismantled Italian democracy and pursued his dream of a new Roman Empire, unleashing brutal colonial campaigns in Libya and Ethiopia and ordering the use of mustard gas against Ethiopian forces.
Initially admired by Adolf Hitler, Mussolini eventually became increasingly influenced by Nazi Germany, introduced anti-Jewish laws, and entered World War II alongside Hitler on 10 June 1940. But Italy was disastrously unprepared. Defeats in Greece, North Africa, and the Soviet Union shattered Mussolini's regime. Deposed in 1943, restored by Hitler as leader of the German-controlled Italian Social Republic, and finally captured by Italian partisans in 1945, Mussolini's pursuit of Fascist power and empire ended in catastrophe for Italy.
