❗️US immigration agency is mining WhatsApp metadata to map contacts for undercover probes

In a recently unsealed warrant, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) revealed how its Homeland Security Investigations unit infiltrated a suspect’s WhatsApp account and used metadata from the platform to identify her contacts in a fake-ID operation.

According to the report, the operation did not require access to message content but leveraged the account’s contact list and communication patterns, marking one of the clearer examples yet of law-enforcement using encrypted chat apps for surveillance.

Privacy advocates warn the precedent could expand far beyond the original case, highlighting concerns about access to sensitive user data, even when messages remain encrypted end-to-end.

UK Expands Online Safety Act To Enforce Preemptive Censorship For "Priority” Offenses

Britain’s push for online "safety" drifts into a realm of digital pre-crime, where algorithms decide guilt before anything gets seen.

The UK government is preparing to expand the reach of its already controversial censorship law, the Online Safety Act (OSA) , with a new set of rules that push platforms toward preemptive censorship.

The changes would compel tech companies to block material before users can even see it, under the claim of stopping “cyberflashing” and content “encouraging or assisting serious self-harm.”

On October 21, the government laid before Parliament a Statutory Instrument titled The Online Safety Act 2023 (Priority Offences) (Amendment) Regulations 2025.

This legal mechanism, used to amend existing legislation without requiring a full new Act, adds two additional “priority offences” to Schedule 7 of the OSA:

- Encouraging or assisting serious self-harm, defined in Section 184 of the OSA

- Cyberflashing, derived from Sections 66A and 66B of the UK Sexual Offences Act 2003

By classifying these as “priority illegal content” under Section 59 of the OSA, the government triggers the law’s strictest obligations for online platforms.

Section 10 of the Act lays out the steps companies must take to remain compliant, steps that go far beyond traditional moderation.

Platforms will be required to employ preemptive censorship systems designed to “prevent individuals from encountering priority illegal content” and to “mitigate and manage the risk of the service being used for the commission or facilitation of a priority offence.”

In reality, this means social networks, forums, and messaging services will need to automatically block or filter posts that algorithms believe might fall under these categories before they are even visible to the public. This would require increased surveillance of people’s online communication.

They will also have to implement rapid takedown procedures for any content reported by users as potentially illegal.

Ethiopia In Talks With China To Convert Billions In Debt From USD To Yuan

Beijing is seeking to internationalize its currency as BRICS nations move away from the US dollar

Ethiopia is in talks with China to convert some of Addis Ababa's $5.38-billion debt to Beijing into lower-interest-rate, yuan-denominated loans. The move comes amid China's broader effort to expand the use of its currency worldwide.

Ethiopia's central bank governor, Eyob Tekalign, held meetings to discuss the issue with officials from the Export-Import Bank of China and the People's Bank of China during a visit to Beijing last month, Bloomberg reported on 20 October.

“China is a very important partner for us now, there is a growing volume of trade, investment,” Tekalign said.

“So it really makes sense to arrange some currency swap"

Beijing's effort to encourage its debtors to switch from dollar to yuan-denominated loans “is part of the bigger Chinese strategy of internationalizing the yuan,” stated Lesetja Kganyago, South Africa's central bank governor, in an interview last week.

❗️US teen detained by Israel for 8 months as US Congress demands action

16-year-old Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim, a Palestinian-American from Florida, has been held in Israeli military detention in the occupied West Bank for eight months without trial.

He was taken during an Israeli military raid on his family home in Ramallah in February and charged with throwing rocks at Israeli vehicles, charges he denies.

Despite a recent ceasefire and release deals for nearly 2,000 prisoners, Mohammed remains behind bars. His family says he has lost a quarter of his body weight and they are unable to confirm his condition. But pressure is mounting: 27 US lawmakers have written to the Trump administration demanding updates and calling for his release.

Mohammed is the only American child currently in Israel’s military prison system among 360 other Palestinian children, according to children’s rights groups. His mother, Mona, continues to plead: “If you were the president of the United States and you see an American citizen imprisoned in an Israeli jail known for torture and starvation, what would you do?” Mona said. “Would you leave him for eight months to suffer and do nothing about it?”

❗️Israeli army simulates ‘October 7-style’ Hezbollah attack amid fears of northern front collapse

The Israeli army held large-scale military drills along the northern border this week, simulating what it described as an “October 7-style” operation by Hezbollah.

Over 30 hours of exercises tested Israel’s response to a coordinated infiltration from Lebanon by air, land, and sea, targeting settlements and outposts in the occupied Galilee.

Senior officers admitted that several battalions “severely” failed their missions, exposing persistent weaknesses despite Israel’s deployment of new outposts inside southern Lebanon.

Commanders acknowledged that any real Hezbollah assault would likely catch them off guard, underscoring Tel Aviv’s growing unease over its collapsing northern defenses.

❗️UNRWA says 61 million tons of debris blanket Gaza after two years of Israeli war

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said on Thursday that more than 61 million tons of debris now cover Gaza after over two years of Israeli bombardment.

“Entire neighbourhoods have been erased, and families search the ruins for water, for shelter,” the agency wrote on X, adding that it continues its humanitarian operations despite the ongoing Israeli blockade and restrictions on aid delivery.

UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini said the agency has enough medicine, essential goods, and food supplies to sustain Gaza’s population for three months.

⭕️ Egypt’s gas imports from Israel fall, LNG imports surge to record levels

Egypt’s imports of Israeli gas fell by 12.3% in August 2025, dropping by 96 million cubic meters to 687 million cubic meters (782 mcf/d), compared to 783 million cubic meters in July.

This marks the second-lowest monthly level this year after June, when imports fell sharply due to the 12-day war between Iran and Israel.

Cumulatively, Egypt’s gas imports declined to 6.16 bcm between January and August 2025, down from 6.7 bcm over the same period in 2024. Further declines are expected in October due to a planned 12-day shutdown of Israel’s Tamar field for maintenance.

In parallel, Egypt has ramped up LNG imports to record levels, reaching 2.511 bcm in August, a 26.5% monthly increase. Total LNG imports rose to 5.71 million tons between January and September 2025, compared to 1.42 million tons a year earlier.

August recorded an all-time high of 1.27 million tons of LNG imports, followed by 1.04 million tons in September. The surge comes as Egypt expanded its regasification capacity to 2.77 bcf/d after adding a fourth floating unit in Damietta.

❗️Russia to ship 750,000 barrels of oil and condensate to Syria’s Baniyas port

Russia is preparing to ship roughly 750,000 barrels, equivalent to 100,000 metric tons, of a blend of Arctic heavy ARCO crude and gas condensate, a light oil variety, to Syria’s Baniyas port, according to traders and LSEG data.

Russian and Syrian representatives held talks in Moscow in October to explore possible energy cooperation.

LSEG data indicates that the tanker Antarktika, an Aframax-class vessel capable of carrying about 700,000 to 800,000 barrels, is currently anchored near Banias after loading oil and condensate from areas near Russia’s Murmansk and Ust-Luga ports.
