#UPDATES: 🇺🇸🇮🇱 Nine days before Israel’s October 27 vote, President Trump gave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “Complete and Total Endorsement” for re-election.
In a letter to Israelis, Trump called Netanyahu a “Great Warrior Prime Minister” and an “even greater Partner for Peace” against Iran. He wrote that if Israel elects “anyone other than Bibi,” the United States would have to confront Iran itself, work he said he is not inclined to do, and added that “BIBI NETANYAHU WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN.”
Netanyahu is already Israel’s longest-serving prime minister. The election is the country’s first national vote since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack.
The endorsement arrives with polls showing Netanyahu’s bloc short of a clear majority against a reorganized opposition.
How do you read the timing of the letter?
#BREAKING: 🇮🇹 A group of hooded youths attacked a local police car as clashes continued for a second day in central Milan.
Video shows the vehicle under assault amid debris, fires and running crowds near the Duomo area, where police used tear gas and water cannons against groups throwing stones and objects. Over 200 people were detained Sunday, roughly 80% of them minors; shops were looted and windows smashed in the same district.
The scenes follow Saturday’s cost-of-living protest that also turned violent.
What stands out most from the footage?
#BREAKING: 🇫🇷 Looters entered residential buildings on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin in Paris’s 10th arrondissement on Sunday night.
Video from the street shows a large group of masked individuals clustering at doorways and moving in and out of entrances near a bar-tabac as unrest continued for a second evening. This followed Saturday’s nationwide cost-of-living protests, which authorities said left roughly 1,800 people arrested and more than 1,500 businesses damaged across France.
The shift from shop windows to private buildings marks a clear escalation in the same districts.
What details stand out most in the footage?
#BREAKING: 🇮🇱🇺🇸 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted that he spoke with President Trump after Trump announced support for him in Israel’s elections.
Netanyahu said the two will work together to eliminate the Iranian threat “forever” and called on Israelis to vote for Likud.
The message underscores the close personal and strategic alignment the two leaders continue to project.
How do you read the timing of this exchange?
#BREAKING: 🇮🇹 271 people were detained in Milan on Sunday, with 32 arrested, including 23 minors and 13 foreign nationals.
Police used tear gas and water cannon after hooded groups clashed with officers, set bins on fire, smashed shop windows and looted stores near Piazza del Duomo during cost-of-living protests.
The violence, which began the day before in several northern cities, left the square in front of Milan’s cathedral temporarily cleared of tourists and shoppers.
How significant is the involvement of so many minors in these repeated outbreaks?
#BREAKING: 🇫🇷 Two young men who had just looted a Decathlon store were filmed sorting bags and items outside a church in Bordeaux, while two priests watched from the doorway.
The clip, shared by Impact Media, captures the pair amid scattered goods near the entrance during the unrest of October 17, when dozens of shops in the city center were targeted.
Witnesses linked the men to the Decathlon looting earlier that day; some viewers have noted the priests appear calm or even smiling rather than stunned.

#BREAKING: 🇮🇱🇫🇷🇵🇸 Netanyahu said Macron called him on October 7 and urged an immediate ceasefire through diplomacy. He replied that the situation would not be solved that way, describing Hamas as “monsters,” “neo-Nazis,” and worse than ISIS in some respects, and warned that failing to stop the group would put them on the streets of Paris.
He added that this is “exactly what is happening right now.”
The remarks frame a long-standing dispute over how to respond to the October 7 attacks.
Do you see recent events in France as matching that prediction?
#BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇸🇴 President Trump said Rep. Ilhan Omar could face deportation or jail time amid an ongoing investigation into her immigration records.
In Oval Office remarks Tuesday, he called Somalia “a real shithouse” with “no government” and “no police protection,” where people are “running around shooting each other,” and said Omar wants to “tell us how to run America.”
Omar, a naturalized U.S. citizen, has described the probe as partisan. The comments came after a recent federal search of her Washington home.

#BREAKING: 🇮🇹 Italy’s cabinet approved a new security decree after weekend violence in Milan and other cities that included looted shops, smashed windows, and attacks on police.
The measures create an offense of violent participation in a demonstration: joining a group of at least five people who throw objects or use sticks and endanger public safety carries up to five years in prison and a fine of up to €20,000, with higher penalties if faces are covered or someone is injured.
Parents can be held financially liable for damage caused by minors, and 500 additional soldiers will be deployed to Milan until the end of 2026.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said demonstrating is a right but devastating cities is not, describing vandalism and theft as crime rather than protest.
How do you see the balance between protest rights and these new public-order rules?
#BREAKING: 🇮🇹 75 police officers were injured, 18 of them with injuries requiring 10 to 30 days to heal, during clashes in Bologna on 17 October. Five people were arrested, four of them minors.
A cost-of-living protest that drew roughly 2,000 people turned violent near the railway station when a group of several hundred, many masked, threw stones and bottles, burned bins, overturned rental bikes, and damaged shops and police vehicles. Police used water cannons and tear gas to clear the area. Initial damage estimates for public property were around €100,000, with additional losses to shops still being assessed.
Local authorities said the worst violence was concentrated around the station rather than the whole city. The mayor called the scenes unacceptable.

#BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 US special envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in St. Petersburg on Wednesday for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The visit follows meetings in Oslo a day earlier with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders, which US officials described as constructive and marked by meaningful progress on a broader peace framework.
Witkoff was greeted at the airport by Kremlin envoy Kirill Dmitriev. The agenda focuses on ending the war in Ukraine, with Jared Kushner expected to join remotely.
This is the latest round of shuttle diplomacy after more than four and a half years of full-scale conflict.
What outcome would you watch for from the St. Petersburg meeting?
#UPDATES: 🇺🇦🇷🇺 At least 8 of the 12 large fuel tanks at the Novoshakhtinsk oil-loading terminal in Russia’s Rostov region were seriously damaged in a Ukrainian drone strike.
The attack took place overnight on 10 October, triggering a fire that burned for several days at the facility, which loads petroleum products onto river and sea tankers. Each tank holds about 5,000 cubic metres; the site has a designed annual capacity of roughly 2.5 million tonnes and supports both export shipments and military fuel logistics.
Open-source analysis and satellite imagery later confirmed the scale of the tank-farm damage. Russian authorities acknowledged drone activity and a major fire in Rostov-on-Don but did not detail the terminal’s losses.
The strike occurred hours after the United States announced a diesel supply arrangement with Russia.
How significant is the long-term impact of repeated hits on these export terminals?
#BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Oslo meeting between envoy Steve Witkoff and President Volodymyr Zelensky passed without surprises and was positive.
Speaking in India on Wednesday, Rubio noted that Witkoff would take the ideas discussed to St. Petersburg and share them with the Russian side. “Let’s see if we can make some progress,” he said.
The comments come as Witkoff arrived in Russia for talks with President Vladimir Putin a day after the Norway session, which also involved European leaders. US officials earlier described the Oslo talks as constructive, with Ukraine bringing forward new proposals on a broader peace framework.
The exchanges form the latest round of shuttle diplomacy in a conflict now in its fifth year.
What would count as measurable progress from the St. Petersburg meeting?
Core is called decentralized. But how transparent are its large token allocations and partner-selection decisions?
If a small group has significant influence over these decisions, the community deserves to understand how that influence is exercised.
A blockchain that fails to earn the trust of the community that helped build it faces a fundamental credibility problem.
What should CoreDAO disclose to build trust?
• Token allocations and recipient wallets
• Criteria for selecting partners and rewarding contributors
• Who makes these decisions and how they are approved
• Clear accountability for how allocated tokens are used
Decentralization should mean more than a slogan. Transparency must be verifiable.
@Coredao_Org, will you publish the information the community needs to assess these decisions?
Some people with little publicly visible work received large token allocations and influential roles.
Meanwhile, community members who invested their time, money, and data promoting Core feel they were overlooked.
Contributors should be asked directly about how these decisions were made, especially initial contributors such as Mr. @BrendonSedo, who also serves as Head of Partners at CoreDAO. The community deserves to hear from him and his team about their role in running the chain and how the project reached its current state, particularly as many contributors now appear to be quietly disengaging from their activities within Core.
That raises a legitimate question about fairness, transparency, and the value of community contributions.
How should contributions be measured and rewarded in Core? 🤔
🚨 The 69M CORE question remains unanswered, and @Coredao_Org needs to address it.
Some early contributors reportedly received substantial token allocations, yet some later removed CORE from their bios and went quiet as the price declined. Meanwhile, decentralization has become a convenient slogan in the debate.
Many in the community believe selling pressure contributed to the price drop. But speculation is not proof.
So, what happened to the 69M CORE?
Where are the wallet addresses that received these tokens? Who controlled them, how much was moved or sold, and where did the tokens ultimately go?
Why should the community be left guessing when on-chain records can help establish the facts?
@Coredao_Org, the community deserves wallet-level transparency, verifiable evidence, and clear answers, not silence and decentralization slogan which is not healthy for the chain now.
Show the wallets. Trace the tokens. Answer the 69M question.
#BREAKING 🇮🇷🇮🇱 Iran’s parliament approved Mehrdad Akhlaghi as Defense Minister on Sunday, replacing interim leadership after Aziz Nasirzadeh was killed in February strikes.
Akhlaghi stated: “Our finger is on the trigger; we are ready for war with the Zionists.” He said new production facilities are being built inside mountains and secure sites instead of previous locations.
The remarks follow months of interim leadership and reported efforts to harden defense manufacturing after earlier strikes.
What does the focus on underground sites indicate about how Iran is preparing for possible further fighting?
French police used tear gas grenades to disperse a group of protesters at Place de la République in Paris on Sunday after an undeclared call for a new gathering.
#BREAKING: 🇫🇷 The intervention followed Saturday’s larger nationwide demonstrations over living costs and school conditions, which drew an estimated 550,000 people and saw widespread clashes, fires, and over 1,200 arrests.
Sunday’s gathering was smaller and quickly broken up by officers already deployed in the area.
How long do you expect these follow-up assemblies to continue in the coming days?
#BREAKING 🇫🇷 A Rolex boutique in Marseille was entered and looted during Saturday’s nationwide protests.
Video from inside the store shows people taking merchandise after the window or entrance was forced. Luxury shops were among the retail targets reported in Marseille, Paris and other cities the same day.
The targeting of high-value watches fits the broader pattern of opportunistic looting that accompanied the cost-of-living marches.
Have police or the store issued any estimate of the value taken or arrests linked to this location?
#BREAKING 🇫🇷 The historic Limoges City Hall, a listed 19th-century building, was set on fire and largely destroyed during Saturday’s protests.
A group forced entry, started the blaze inside, and the fire reached the roof; the campanile later collapsed. Local authorities called most of the structure lost and described it as a heritage catastrophe.
The deliberate targeting of a working municipal building stands out among the day’s other arsons and property attacks.
Have officials released any update on the remaining structure or investigations into who entered the building?
