29.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Putin Commented on the Stubb Call
⌨

Morning court coverage centered on the Makwan Amirkhani trial as Paula Vesala testified Mira Luoti's account was unchanged, criticizing the Celebrity Survivors production for not calling police, while defence lawyer Kari Uoti clashed with a photographer.

Midday attention shifted when STT said it would end news and picture operations in March and dismiss its entire newsroom, 89 staff, leaving Finland without a national news agency; police also opened a criminal probe into Google's Muhos data-centre works.

Evening focus returned to diplomacy as Vladimir Putin publicly addressed the Stubb-Støre call, saying Russia backed steps to restore ties with Europe and did not want the Baltic to become a Hormuz Strait, while adding Russia was prepared for war with Europe but did not want it. New audio from the Spanish train crash showing controllers told drivers to continue also drew coverage.

05:50⇢Spain Train Disaster Toll Hits 68

⌨Coverage of the Stubb-Støre Putin call recedes to background warnings of Baltic concern and Danish-Swedish fury (MTV, MV-lehti). Morning editions fragment into domestic pocketbook items on taxes, wages and AI jobs (Kaleva, Helsingin Sanomat, Hufvudstadsbladet). The sharpest new development is Ilta-Sanomat's update on the Spain train collision, now reporting at least 68 dead and over a hundred injured, up sharply from yesterday's tolls.

Euroopan parlamentin täysistunnossa puhuttiin viime viikolla Yhdysvaltain presidentti Donald Trumpin hyökkäyksestä kansainvälistä rikostuomioistuinta ICC:tä vastaan. Europarlamentaarikko Jussi Saramon (vas.) mukaan EU on puhunut koko kauden suvereniteetista mutta ottanut vain pieniä askelia. Samaan aikaan unionin seuraavasta seitsenvuotisesta budjetista käydään kovaa kamppailua.

Perussuomalainen oikeusministeri Leena Meri haluaa lakkauttaa kehitysyhteistyön ja saada näin aikaan 500 miljoonan euron säästöt. Meri tyrmää velkarahalla maksettavan kehitysavun ja suuntaisi rahat kotimaan tarpeisiin sen sijaan, että Suomen kipeästi tarvitsemat varat lähetetään toiselle puolelle maapalloa erilaisiin korruptiohankkeisiin. Jatkossa perussuomalaiset sallisi ainoastaan tarkkaan harkitun kriisiavun, kuten Ukrainan tukemisen.

Euroopan maita ei kutsuta seuraaviin Venäjän, Yhdysvaltojen ja Ukrainan välisiin rauhanneuvotteluihin, kertoi Kremlin huippujohtoon kuuluva Juri Ušakov keskiviikkona. Tämä tapahtui päivä sen jälkeen, kun Suomen ja Norjan johtajat olivat soittaneet Venäjän presidentti Vladimir Putinille, mikä nostatti spekulaatioita siitä, että Yhdysvaltojen lisäksi muita Kiovan hallinnon länsiliittolaisia olisi mukana marraskuun alussa odotettavissa olevissa neuvotteluissa.

Työväenpuolueen ehdokas Lula voitti yllättäen Brasilian presidentinvaalien kakkoskierroksen, vaikka hävisi ensimmäisellä kierroksella. Liberaalipuolueen ehdokas Bolsonaro päätti paeta maasta, koska edessä olisi ollut syyte rahanpesusta ja varma vankeustuomio. Bolsonaro ei ole vielä anonut turvapaikkaa Yhdysvalloista, mutta Trump suhtautuu hänen maahantuloonsa myönteisesti.

Perussuomalaisten puheenjohtaja, valtiovarainministeri Riikka Purra arvostelee tapaa sovitella poliittisia erimielisyyksiä lempihankkeiden budjettikirjauksilla. Hänen mukaansa veronmaksajien rahaa ei pidä käyttää puolueiden omien hankkeiden edistämiseen poliittisten kompromissien hintana. Sen sijaan Purran mukaan veronmaksajien rahoja on käytettävä huolellisesti ja vaikuttavasti.

Valtamedia on koohkannut pitkään punakirjaimin Euroopan äärioikeiston noususta, mutta samaan aikaan nouseva radikaalivasemmisto haastaa kapitalismin perusperiaatteita. Ranskassa vaaditaan valtionvelan mitätöintiä, Saksassa suunnitellaan asuntojen sosialisointia ja Espanjassakin sosialistihallitus on kiristänyt asuntomarkkinoiden sääntelyä. Taustalla vaikuttavat valtioiden velkaantuminen sekä kasvavat paineet koko tulonjakounionin olemassaololle.
