Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu called a crisis meeting and directed ministers to cancel official travel, while Education Minister Edouard Geffray scheduled emergency meetings with union and student representatives as political tensions heighten ahead of next year's presidential election.

The Algerian lower house of parliament has voted to amend the penal code to allow the death penalty for individuals convicted of arson that threatens public security, national unity, or economic and environmental stability. Proposed by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune following fatal wildfires in September 2026, the law now moves to the upper house for review, though human rights groups have strongly condemned the measure as a regressive step that could be weaponized against political dissent despite Algeria's decades-long moratorium on executions.
The Congress high command's decision to replace Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, Wednesday triggered a sharp verbal clash between Warring and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ravneet Singh Bittu.Reacting on X to Warring's exit ahead of the state's upcoming assembly campaign, Bittu criticized the move, framing it as a demonstration of Rahul Gandhi's "use and throw" policy.Warring swiftly dismissed the characterization, asserting his loyalty as a steadfast party soldier rather than an opportunist. Warning Bittu that he was tangling with the wrong person, Warring reaffirmed his unyielding support for Gandhi—describing him as a leader for the entire nation and a symbol of hope—stating he would remain by his side through thick and thin.The leadership restructuring comes as former Sangrur MP Vijay Inder Singla emerges as the front-runner to succeed Warring as state party president. Party sources indicate Singla was initially favored for the position earlier, though that appointment was temporarily held back following the BJP’s selection of Kewal Singh Dhillon to lead its provincial wing.Strategists note that appointing a Hindu leader like Singla to head the state unit aims to balance regional party dynamics while appeasing several prominent Jat Sikh leaders harboring chief ministerial ambitions.
According to a new report by cybersecurity firm Proofpoint, China-aligned hacking group TA419 impersonated US AI experts—including former White House policy official Lynne Edwards Parker—to target policy experts, think tanks, defence contractors, and universities across the US and Japan.

Leader of the BC Greens and candidate for Saanich North and the Islands, Emily Lowan announced the BC Green party’s plan to reform British Columbia’s agricultural system. “As we face a trade war from the South, and more frequent climate disasters, our food security is becoming increasingly vulnerable. That's why localized production, control and consumption is so important—but B.C.’s farmland has been put up for sale,” said Lowan. “Under the current Agricultural Land Reserve system, there is no restriction of foreign or corporate ownership, and no requirement to farm productive land—leading to the rapid accumulation of B.C.’s farmland by American billionaires.”The BC NDP have failed to act on this issue for years, with the BC Greens introducing legislation to ban foreign ownership of farmland in 2017; something that the NDP have consistently ignored. “Selling off our farmland to foreign interests and megacorporations not only drives out British Columbian farmers,” said Lowan, “but turns our food supply into a tax scheme for the ultra-wealthy. That’s why the BC Greens will restrict foreign and corporate farmland ownership, fund an Agricultural Public Land Bank to connect farmers with affordable farmland, and give local governments the power to tax unused farmland.”
US President Donald Trump declined to directly endorse Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of Israel's October 27 election during an interview with Time magazine. Despite highlighting his administration's support for Israel, strong popularity, and actions regarding Iran, Trump avoided backing Netanyahu when asked repeatedly, while also noting he would not underestimate the Israeli leader or rule out working with his lead political opponent, Gadi Eisenkot.
