Daniele Ganser wrote that Trump demanded new elections in Ukraine on October 10, 2026, in front of reporters at Joint Base Andrews. Trump said that Zelensky should hold an election and a new president should be ready to end the war with Russia.

He asked whether Trump would now let Zelensky fall and accused the USA of fueling the war for years with arms deliveries. #Ukraine #Trump #Selenskij (translated)

Leandro Ruschel stated that a reporter from Veja considered that the attention given to the recording published by the magazine would be diverting focus from more serious allegations based on messages found on Daniel Vorcaro's cell phone. According to Ruschel, the reporter said that messages from 2024 and 2025 would indicate a collusion with executives from the pension funds of Banco do Brasil, Caixa, Petrobras, and Correios to raise R$ 10 billion, of which R$ 1 billion would be destined to the PT as a bribe. The account also mentioned more than 450 messages with an operator linked to the office of Minister Alexandre Padilha. Ruschel said that, according to the report, Banco Master entered in May 2024 a government list that would allow it to receive investments from the funds, despite having low credit ratings and being under investigation for fraud. During the same period, the bank reportedly negotiated R$ 500 million in credit letters with Caixa; the operation retreated after O Globo reported, in July 2024, the removal of two managers who had issued a negative opinion. The report also claimed that Padilha had said, in a meeting at the Palácio do Planalto, that agreements made with Olavo Noleto would count as agreements with the minister himself, and that, after dinner at Vorcaro's house in October 2024, the banker received a message saying that Lula would meet him and had liked the conversation. According to Ruschel, the reporter stated that Lula received Vorcaro in December and that messages from lawyer Walfrido Warde suggested pressure on the Central Bank to save Master. He added that Vorcaro would have presented the account to the Attorney General's Office (PGR), which had refused to receive the material, and that there would be evidence involving PGR members who had contact with the defense. Ruschel said that the reporter argued that Vorcaro should be heard and warned of the risk of diverting workers' resources to save the bank. #Corrupção #Política #Justiça (translated)

The publication stated that Kayath was one of the names considered to take over the Ministry of Economy in a possible government of Flávio Bolsonaro. According to the author, in an interview with Estadão, Kayath emphasized that he was not part of the campaign or the coordination of the economic program; the author deemed this stance appropriate as it prevented his statements, even if distorted, from affecting the campaign. The author mentioned as part of Kayath's background his work as a banker, his collaboration with Lemann, and his support for Lula in 2022. He expressed understanding of the concerns that these backgrounds could generate, although he did not consider them a problem given the current situation. What, according to the publication, caused discomfort was Kayath having considered — or having considered in the past — Bolsonaro "crazy" and not contesting the characterization of those involved on January 8 as coup plotters. The author assessed that Kayath supported Flávio but believed there were coup plotters within bolsonarism, and that a coup would not occur because Flávio would respect the institutions. He stated that Kayath still needed to understand that, in his view, Bolsonaro and bolsonarism had always respected these institutions. The publication also mentioned that Kayath was in favor of abolishing reelection and stated that he could reconsider his positions over time and with more information. #Economia #Bolsonaro #Política (translated)

The review echoed a testimony from a woman who, according to her account, had been raped while another attacker cut off her breasts with a knife. The assaults continued before she was killed, the review stated. The author described the massacre on October 7 as a deep trauma for Israeli society and wrote that this year's memorial ceremony was particularly significant because all surviving hostages had returned from Gaza and the remains of the murdered had been brought home. The review believed the day should have focused on the victims, the survivors, and the relatives. The review criticized Sveriges Radio for instead directing attention towards employee Sami Abu Salem in Gaza. The author also questioned why SVT Rapport, after a segment from the memorial ceremony in Tel Aviv, had presented Gilda Hamidi-Nia's documentary "The World's Most Hated?", which according to the review had been published three days before the anniversary and dealt with how Israeli soldiers were mapped on social media and accused of suspected war crimes in Gaza. The review stated that SVT's live broadcast from the ceremony repeatedly shifted the focus from the victims and their relatives to Israel's warfare, genocide allegations against Israel and the IDF, as well as the war in Gaza. The author argued that the coverage showed a lack of judgment, proportion, and respect, and asked why the victims were not allowed to be at the center of the memorial day. https://t.co/unFDFBluFH #Hamas #Israel #minnesdag (translated)
