Iranian President Pezeshkian answered Trump's annihilate-or-deal ultimatum at the General Assembly, calling Iranians victims of U.S. terrorism, accusing Washington and Israel of lawless attacks and vowing never to bow while leaving the door to diplomacy open. The U.S. delegation walked out during the address, and Secretary Rubio said Tehran intended to wait Trump out until after the midterms.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy followed with a call to choke Russia's revenues and a warning that aggression could spread beyond Ukraine.
Attention then shifted to Washington, where Trump gave Xi Jinping a rare planeside greeting at Joint Base Andrews to open a three-day state visit. Officials announced an extension of the U.S.-China trade truce as Trump cast Xi as a friend. A federal judge heard arguments over the White House ban on CNN, Politico and MS NOW but issued no ruling.

Attention opened on the UN General Assembly, where Syria's al-Sharaa said talks with Israel reached 90% but the problem lies in Jerusalem and the Golan will remain Syrian, while Iran's Pezeshkian cast Tehran as a victim of terror and set Hormuz conditions after Witkoff-Kushner contacts.
By midday focus shifted to the Central Elections Committee, which voted to bar MK Ofer Kasif, Balad leader Sami Abu Shahada and the Ra'am list from the Knesset race, with chairman Justice Sohlberg unusually joining the vote on Abu Shahada. All decisions require Supreme Court approval.
Afternoon coverage turned to a car-ramming at the Maccabim checkpoint on Route 443. The driver struck a police vehicle, critically wounding a reservist before being shot dead. The victim was identified as the son of Israel's ambassador to Washington, whose elder son fell in Gaza, and underwent emergency brain surgery as his father returned home.

Overnight polls showing majority support for Chancellor Merz's resignation set the tone, followed by reports of open criticism inside the Union that change must start with him and of an evening crisis summit on pensions, care and health stretching to midnight.
Coverage then turned to Berlin, where the Left's election win dominated. Papers detailed its expropriation plans for over 200,000 apartments, warnings from business groups and from SPD and Green politicians about security risks and violent rhetoric, and a Bundestag debate over antisemitism and alleged clan contacts surrounding deputy Ferat Koçak. Reports questioned whether lead candidate Elif Eralp could still claim the Red Town Hall.
In parallel the AfD's strength was measured in a poll putting it ahead of the CDU in North Rhine-Westphalia and in preparations for government in Saxony-Anhalt, while Berlin moved to withdraw its Olympic bid after the Left's rejection.

Overnight editors stayed in New York on Emmanuel Macron's General Assembly address. Israel denounced his remarks on the West Bank as grotesque absurdity, while the domestic left attacked his hypocrisy on Gaza.
Attention then returned to the fuel crisis extended the previous evening to 5.5 million grands rouleurs. A BFMTV poll put 70% judging the measures insufficient, the CGT dismissed the aid as an usine à gaz, and road hauliers, driving schools and nurses warned of collapsing cash flow as the government detailed eligibility and payment in October.
In the evening focus shifted to the first televised debate of the left primary with Faure, Glucksmann, Royal, Guedj and Maurel, clashing on fuel taxes, Ukraine, Gaza, wages and alliances with LFI, after courts twice upheld Philippe Brun's exclusion. Parallel coverage prepared Pope Leo XIV's visit, with the interior minister reporting no characterized threat.

Prime Minister Salam's UN mission dominated coverage, with editors stressing that Arab and Western backing remained conditional on sole state control of arms and reforms, and quoting his 'no two armies, no two decisions' line alongside Macron's call for a sovereign state to disarm Hezbollah. The mission was read as meagre, from a brief handshake with Trump to claims Lebanon was not a US priority.
Attention shifted south, where the Khiam demolition cut power and closed schools in Marjayoun, Israeli flags were raised at the town entrance and daily blasts were described as erasing Mansouri, as Aoun warned against a post-UNIFIL vacuum and welcomed any alternative force. Hezbollah MP Raad answered that a defence strategy required sovereign authority, while Joumblatt urged destruction to push the party toward dialogue.
Soaring prices revived warnings of social explosion and road paralysis toward strike.

Overnight editors carried Zelensky's readout from New York that Kyiv had passed Washington an energy-truce proposal and that intelligence warned of a new Russian mass strike. The warning materialized in a morning jet-Shahed assault on Kyiv, the focus of all outlets through the day. Explosions were reported near the Central Railway Station, with hits on railway facilities, two Ukrnafta filling stations, business centres, warehouses, a data centre and the Darnitsa pharmaceutical plant. The toll rose during live coverage from one to two dead and to 43 injured, with up to ten air alerts.
By evening attention returned to New York, where Zelensky told the General Assembly Russia had lost nearly 250,000 men this year and warned of a hard winter if energy strikes continued. Lavrov told the Security Council Moscow would not pause fighting for talks, while Rubio said both sides were interested in a limited energy ceasefire.

Morning papers counted Gaza dead rising through the day from three to four, then six and seven in shelling and gunfire in Khan Younis and Gaza City, pushing the total past 73,000, with Israel claiming the killing of a Hamas finance official in Khan Younis.
By midday attention turned to post-war arrangements, with the Peace Council expected to unveil a $2.45 billion recovery plan, Mladenov outlining a UN plan tying reconstruction to disarmament, and the commander of the planned international stabilization force announcing preparations for multinational deployment.
In the afternoon the lead moved to the West Bank, where a Palestinian was shot dead after a ramming at Beit Ur west of Ramallah that seriously wounded an Israeli later identified as the son of Israel's ambassador to Washington, against a backdrop of settler attacks and olive-harvest restrictions.

Overnight editors stayed on the New York fallout, with Burnham pledging to review the Chagos deal after Trump branded it terrible, a concession underlined when Streeting admitted it was not good enough. Commentary dwelt on Burnham's handling of Trump, from AI restraint to claims he had dodged difficult questions before his first UN address.
Attention moved to Iran, after Trump's annihilation threat gave way to three hours of US-Iran talks described as productive. Tehran denied dropping preconditions while its president used the UN podium to call Trump a bully yet signal willingness to talk.
By evening focus turned home, with Border Force failing to stop a second boat in 24 hours, migrants reported missing, and protesters in Gosport blocking a landing, alongside the Anglesey Hawk crash and Badenoch's pledge to bar benefits spending on alcohol.

Overnight attention stayed on the New York backchannel after Trump's destruction threat. US envoys described indirect contacts as promising and finished one round, while Tehran insisted any exchange went through Qatar and denied a direct Araghchi-Witkoff meeting, a claim that drew criticism of Araghchi from IRGC-aligned media and MPs.
Pezeshkian then delivered Iran's set-piece address to the General Assembly, calling the US terrorist, saying the bomb is in Israel while inspectors are in Iran, and offering negotiation without accepting force. State media foregrounded defiance and showed the US delegation leaving; Washington answered through Rubio and the White House accusing Tehran of killing its own people.
Around the speeches, officials kept up pressure over flights and Hormuz, with Rezaei warning neighbors against enforcing US aviation sanctions as CENTCOM claimed 115 commercial ships diverted.

Putin closed the Duma cycle thanking voters for turnout and saying opponents failed to intimidate Russia, while independent outlets countered with claims of rewritten Moscow protocols and hours-long paper-ballot queues.
Focus moved to New York, where Lavrov met Rubio for just over 50 minutes and afterward ruled out any pause in the operation for talks, as state media noted Washington declined to join a UN statement on Ukraine.
Washington provided the day’s signal with a reported US invitation for Putin to attend December’s G20 in Miami, acknowledged by the Kremlin, alongside reports that Kirill Dmitriev flew to the US for talks with Witkoff and Kushner.
Exile media foregrounded Zelensky’s UN address branding Putin “patient zero,” while at home the FSB reported foiling a motorcade bombing in Moscow and regions reimposed fuel limits after refinery strikes.

Meloni continued to defend the proposed 30% cap on non-Italian-speaking pupils, insisting Mattarella had issued similar circulars as education minister, a claim Avvenire disputed and Il Fatto contrasted with Fratelli d'Italia's 2024 rejection of a Lega proposal.
Attention shifted overnight to Rome, where a 22-year-old rope-access worker fell ten metres during night works at the Colosseum. Prosecutors opened a manslaughter inquiry after finding his harness was not clipped to the safety line. The site initially remained open, prompting CGIL protest, before Culture Minister Giuli ordered closure and Meloni called the death unacceptable.

Overnight attention shifted from Typhoon No.25's aftermath to New York, where Prime Minister Takaichi held 35-minute talks with President Trump at U.N. headquarters. Trump called Takaichi a great prime minister who would make history, while both confirmed alliance coordination on China and economic security two days before Xi's U.S. visit. Takaichi said she raised Japan's position on U.S. sanctions against the ICC leadership.
Takaichi then gave her first General Assembly address, pledging consistent support for the ICC without naming U.S. sanctions, calling for deletion of the Charter's former-enemy clause, Security Council reform, and energy cooperation, followed by a press conference presenting the trip as demonstrating alliance strength.
At home the typhoon toll rose to 10 dead and four missing in Chiba and Kanagawa, with levee breaches at Inbanuma and months-long suspensions on JR Uchibo and Sobu lines, as an ANA jet evacuated at Naha Airport without injuries.
