Morning coverage centered on escalation abroad: U.S. strikes destroyed five Iranian oil tankers after attempted strikes on a warship, pushing Brent crude past $100 for the first time since July, with reports of Iranian retaliation toward Jordan and new proxy activity. Trump moved to ban imports of Canadian motorcycles, dairy and alcohol as the trade war widened.
Attention shifted through the day to Dallas for Republicans' first-ever midterm convention, billed as Trumpapalooza. After build-up over empty seats, absences and Fetterman's surprise video appearance, Trump took the stage for a 100-minute keynote urging voters to pretend he is on the ballot, vowing to campaign in swing districts and predicting the Iran war would end immediately after the election.
He closed the night pledging $5,000 dividends to adults if the GOP holds Congress.

The night opened with the US-Iran exchange: Washington destroyed five Iranian tankers, Tehran fired about 20 missiles at a US base in Jordan, with interceptions seen over Israel.
By morning the UAE-warning affair dominated. After Haaretz reported Mohammed bin Zayed warned Netanyahu before October 7, Netanyahu denied it and announced a libel suit. Biden-era officials knew of no warning, while an Emirati source, a Kan report that bin Zayed told the CIA chief of an 'explosion,' and Bennett kept the claim alive. Likud demanded a criminal probe.
With 38 lists registered for October 27, first polls put Eisenkot's Yashar ahead of Likud with blocs tied and Ofer Winter crossing the threshold amid Likud infighting. Israel ordered the British consulate closed over sanctions Trump did not oppose, before Trump said the Iran war would end after the midterms.

After the AfD's victory in Saxony-Anhalt, attention shifted to the Bundestag general debate between Chancellor Merz and Alice Weidel. Weidel opened by declaring the end of black-red rule and attacking the budget as capitulation. Merz countered by calling the AfD a destructive force and equating its remigration plans with ethnic cleansing by origin and skin colour, prompting tumult and threats of expulsions by Bundestag president Klöckner.
The exchange fuelled verdicts on Merz's leadership, with former premier Haseloff calling his course political suicide, NRW premier Wüst pushing for a review toward an AfD ban, and Trump congratulating the AfD.
Separately, prosecutors searched properties linked to Berlin SPD lead candidate Steffen Krach on bribery suspicions ahead of the Berlin election.

Overnight US-Iran escalation set the agenda, with Washington reporting destruction of five Iranian tankers and Tehran retaliating against US vessels and a base in Jordan, pushing Brent to $100 and French pump prices to records. The government convened distributors at Bercy but announced no new aid.
Domestically Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu tried to defuse budget tensions, writing to business leaders to promise a lower surtax on large firms while floating cuts to ministerial allowances.
The story that held through the evening was Carcassonne: a bodycam recording of racist, sexist and homophobic remarks by municipal policemen, one attached to the RN security detail, prompted a judicial inquiry, suspension ordered by the prosecutor, and expulsion from the party, with the RN mayor denouncing the remarks. Around it, the 2027 race advanced with Hidalgo backing Glucksmann, Ruffin demanding entry to the Socialist primary, and polls showing right-wing voters favouring a primary.

After the fall of Ali al-Taher and strikes on Kfar Remman, attention shifted from the hilltops to the city itself. President Aoun met Prime Minister Salam and then the security chiefs, warning that any security vacuum in the south would serve as a pretext for attacks and linking expanded deployment to the state's negotiating position. The army, which increased patrols to reassure residents, then accused Israel of continued aggression that threatened the framework agreement and hindered its mission, as blasts were reported in Mansouri, a drone strike killed one in Zabdine, and tanks moved east of Khiam.
Retired servicemen blocked roads over the 2027 budget, saying $600 a month did not allow them to live.
The US-Iran confrontation formed the backdrop, with Washington reporting five more tankers destroyed and Tehran claiming missile hits on a US base in Jordan and warships.

Overnight Ukrainian drones struck the naval base at Novorossiysk, hitting an oil terminal and Kalibr carriers, with officials later claiming damage to the frigate Admiral Essen and a record 3,000-km strike in Yamal.
Russia answered with an all-day drone campaign. A crossing on the Moldovan border was hit, killing two, a Kharkiv-Izyum train car was struck, and Kyiv faced seven alerts. A drone hit a 24-storey building and warehouses in Dniprovskyi district, injuring nine, then a 9-storey building, killing a woman and injuring three. In the evening a drone hit a shopping-center parking lot in central Sumy, killing three, including a 21-year-old couple, and injuring about 20.
Trump called his conversation with Putin wonderful and urged Zelensky toward a deal, amid reports CIA director Ratcliffe could lead US talks. Norway’s premier said Zelensky’s plane nearly collided with a drone after takeoff from Moldova.

Building on the previous day's British ban on settlement trade, Palestinian outlets reported its widening to 12 Western states, with France joining and eight Arab and Islamic states welcoming the move, while Washington was said not to oppose London. Israel formalized retaliation by notifying the British consulate in East Jerusalem to close within 30 days, as Finance Minister Smotrich announced 1,000 new units in the central West Bank and settlers demanded cancellation of Oslo.
On the ground, coverage shifted to continued Israeli strikes across Gaza despite the ceasefire, with homes hit in Bureij, Nuseirat and Khan Younis and the killing of deported ex-prisoner Farah Hamed. In the West Bank, the siege of Shuafat and Anata entered a second day alongside a killing in Aqraba, demolitions in Silwan and al-Ram, and settler attacks.

The sanctions row carried over from the previous day, with Foreign Secretary Miliband calling Israel's retaliation deeply regrettable and insisting Britain had to call out West Bank settlements before it was too late. At PMQs Prime Minister Burnham said Britain had shown leadership, dismissed criticism including from the Chief Rabbi, as Netanyahu hit back and Washington called the move irrational.
Air traffic disruption entered a second day, with hundreds more cancellations at Heathrow and Gatwick, passengers stranded overnight and on tarmacs, officials ruling out a cyber attack and warning disruption could last until the weekend with compensation unlikely.
By afternoon attention shifted to Reform UK, after Channel 4 undercover filming prompted the Metropolitan Police to open a criminal investigation into alleged solicitation of a foreign donor for polling and a £500,000 donation. At PMQs Burnham also said he would not cut welfare to fund higher defence spending.

CENTCOM dismissed the destroyer claim.
By afternoon attention shifted to Vienna, where the IAEA Board adopted the US-European resolution finding non-compliance and reporting Iran to the Security Council and General Assembly, with 23 votes for, 3 against and 8 abstentions. Iran, Russia and China called the move without legal basis.
Oil held near $100, the dollar passed 232,000 tomans, and Trump said the Strait was under US control and predicted the war would end right after the November midterms.

The escalation between Washington and Tehran dominated the front pages: the US confirmed destroying five Iranian oil tankers after attacks on its navy vessels, and Iran retaliated with cluster bombs on American bases in Jordan and strikes on tankers in the Gulf. Oil touched $100, gas prices hit post-2022 highs, and the IAEA referred Iran back to the UN — with Italian papers tracking the fallout for fuel costs and the government's repeated extension of excise cuts.
Domestically, seven arrests were made in the 2019 murder of Lazio ultra Fabrizio Piscitelli 'Diabolik', with Michele Senese identified as the top mastermind.
