Nigeria: It was reported that ISWAP attacked CJTF militias in Izge, Borno State, killing one member and wounding several others, with civilians also hit by stray bullets.

US lawmakers are launching investigations into reports that the military carried out a second strike to kill survivors of a September attack on a suspected Venezuelan drug-smuggling boat.

After The Washington Post reported that Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth had told forces to “kill everybody” on board, both the Senate and House Armed Services Committees—led by Republicans—said they are demanding answers from the Pentagon and conducting “vigorous oversight.”

Leaders of both parties said on Sunday that, if true, a follow-up strike on survivors could be illegal.

People see KIZILELMA and think it became a success overnight. Reality: vision + leadership.

Back in Aero India 2019, Kalyani showcased 1.2 kN & 1.56 kN engines 6 years later, they’re still not ready.

Meanwhile, an Indian startup is running more powerful engines on bicycles with peanuts for funding.

Sometimes, the missing tech is not hardware… it’s leadership.

If possible, import Selçuk Bayraktar.

Zelensky:

We spoke with Emmanuel for several hours. We managed to assess many details.

Most attention was given to negotiations aimed at ending the war and to security guarantees. Peace must become truly reliable.

The war must end as soon as possible.

WSJ Editorial Board:

Trump has forced a direct confrontation with Venezuela’s Maduro, and only one can come out on top.

Ousting Maduro serves U.S. interests and would restore the Venezuelan government actually elected in 2024.

But the reaction of Venezuela’s military is uncertain, and any intervention would require follow-up support.

If Maduro flees and democracy returns, the impact could ripple across Latin America—possibly even to Cuba.

But if Trump hesitates and Maduro endures, both Trump and U.S. credibility lose.

Trump will meet with top national security officials at the White House on Monday evening to discuss next steps on Venezuela.

Attendees are expected to include Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

Zelensky:

Just now, together with Emmanuel Macron — Keir Starmer was also on the line — we spoke with Rustem Umerov and Steve Witkoff following the negotiations in Florida.

Cameroon: Opposition figure and nationalist left leader Anicet Ekane died at 74 in detention in Yaoundé, following his arrest on the eve of the presidential election results.

Zelensky:

Russia started this war and Russia is the only country that can stop this war.

Zelensky:

You should look at Ukrainian sources more.

None of Russia's military operations have been truly succesful.

Russia says that the Russian Army has invaded cities, we still have them, Kupiansk is under our control.

Zelensky on the negotiations:

The question of territory is probably the most difficult.

Macron:

In the weeks to come, the pressure on the Russian economy and the capacity of Russia to finance the war effort will drastically change.

Trump:

The United States is very satisfied with the results displayed, through hard work and determination, in the Country of Syria.

It is very important that Israel maintain a strong and true dialogue with Syria, and that nothing takes place that will interfere with Syria’s evolution into a prosperous State.

The new President of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa, is working diligently to make sure good things happen, and that both Syria and Israel will have a long and prosperous relationship together.

This is a historic opportunity, and adds to the SUCCESS, already attained, for PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST!

Macron:

You never hear of corruption in Russia because there is no independent body to look into it.

Macron:

We first called for a ceasefire in March of this year, Zelensky agreed, Russia said no.

There was another proposal in June, we worked on it, Russia said no.

Then there was Anchorage, an American proposal for mediation, Russia said no.

America is coming again with yet another proposal, we now need to wait for Russia.

Turkish President Erdogan:

We are a nation with a long-standing and ancient state tradition.

In this region, we are one of the few peoples who have lived freely for a thousand years without ever compromising our independence.
