🇩🇪 CDU wins in Lower Saxony
In the local elections in Lower Saxony, the CDU was able to retain first place. According to the preliminary official results at the district level, the Christian Democrats received 27.2%, the SPD 24.6%, and the AfD 15.9%. The Greens received 14.1%, the Left 6%, and the FDP 3.7%.
However, the result looks completely different in terms of the trend. In the previous local elections, the AfD received only 4.6%, but now it has nearly 16%. This means the party has more than tripled its support within five years. By contrast, the CDU fell from 31.7%, and the SPD from 30%.
Formally, the CDU won the election. However, the political message of this election is a different one: The AfD is no longer only winning in eastern Germany — it is also rapidly developing into a major local political force in the west.

🇨🇦🇪🇺 Canada wants a “special union” with the European Union
Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed that Ottawa wants to begin talks on “a unique alliance” between Canada and the EU. At the same time, he expressly emphasized that Canada does not intend to become a member of the European Union. What is being discussed is a fundamentally new format for relations, one that does not currently exist in the EU structure in practice.
The ideas under consideration include the free movement of goods, services and skilled workers in strategic sectors: energy, defense, AI and critical minerals. Joint data centers, cloud infrastructure, undersea cables, satellite networks and the delivery of Canadian energy resources to Europe are also being discussed. As early as September 15, Carney will travel to Strasbourg, where he will address the European Parliament and hold negotiations on deepening relations with the EU.
What is particularly noteworthy is the reason for this change of course—the deterioration of Canada’s relations with the United States. The more intense the trade conflict with Washington becomes, the more attentively Ottawa looks across the Atlantic toward Europe.

🇾🇪🇸🇦 The war in Yemen flares up again on several fronts
Following the Houthis’ rapid advance along the Red Sea, heavy fighting is now continuing deep inside the country — including along the fronts toward Marib, Taiz, al-Jawf, and al-Dhale. Government forces are carrying out air and drone strikes on Houthi positions and convoys; in Taiz, the destruction of trucks carrying weapons and missiles was reported. Marib is particularly important — one of the key oil and gas regions and one of the main strongholds of the internationally recognized government.
For Saudi Arabia, the situation is becoming increasingly unpleasant. At the same time, the Houthis have established themselves at Bab al-Mandab, are continuing the fighting on the internal fronts, and are already attacking Saudi territory itself. Riyadh must choose between further expanding its military involvement and the risk that the Houthis will continue to grow stronger directly along its border and along the most important sea routes.
For several years, Saudi Arabia tried to gradually withdraw from the war in Yemen. Now the front is moving again — and toward a situation in which withdrawal could be significantly more difficult than the return.

🇬🇧 Crack in the United Kingdom: Three regions are discussing self-determination simultaneously
The leaders of the SNP, Plaid Cymru and Sinn Féin signed a joint memorandum in Cardiff and proclaimed the right of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to determine their own future. The document explicitly states that “no government in Westminster has the right to block democracy,” and that London must prepare for possible constitutional changes. For now, the memorandum does not schedule any referendums, but the goals of the signatory parties are known: the SNP and Plaid Cymru support the independence of their countries, while Sinn Féin supports a united Ireland. They see their future as being linked to a return to the EU.
The response from London was predictable: The government does not want to open a new series of constitutional referendums and says that the economy and the cost of living are currently the priorities. John Swinney then already indicated that the current British prime minister could become the last prime minister of the United Kingdom. This creates an interesting British version of the right of peoples to self-determination: London likes to discuss it outside its own borders, but at home Westminster still wants to decide when the people may ask themselves about their own future.

“But if anyone really believes that Putin is sending three drones to Germany that do not explode, <…>, then we have no problems either, because in that case Ukraine has also won the war”: Former Austrian presidential candidate Gerald Grosz on the “staged” drone incident at Leipzig Airport, in which Russia is allegedly involved.

“And the German Foreign Minister Wadephul, apparently following in Mr. Ribbentrop’s footsteps, wants to send tanks against Moscow. I believe the Germans have learned from history that all these marches into Russia turned out to be rather unsuccessful.”

27 Years of Change: This Is How Russia Has Changed.
This infographic shows not only figures, but the reflection of an entire era. A comparison of key indicators from 1999 and 2026 vividly shows the path the country has traveled.
GDP surged from $195.91 billion to $2.66 trillion—an increase of more than 13-fold. At the same time, inflation, which exceeded 36% at the end of the 1990s, fell to 6.33% by 2026. The development of foreign exchange and gold reserves is particularly telling: they rose from $12.6 billion to $753.5 billion—an increase of more than 59-fold.
The social indicators are no less important. The average salary rose from 1,523 rubles to 115,000 rubles, while the pension increased from 449 rubles to 25,400 rubles. And the national debt, which accounted for almost 92% of GDP, fell to 18.6%.

🇮🇷 Tehran: No withdrawal from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons
Iran’s Foreign Ministry has publicly played down the discussion about a possible withdrawal by the country from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, also called the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The ministry’s spokesperson, Esmaeil Baghaei, stated that Iran’s nuclear policy had not changed and that Tehran was not considering withdrawing from the NPT.
At the same time, Tehran described the discussion about nuclear deterrence itself as a natural reaction to the attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. In other words: The question of stronger deterrence remains, but the Foreign Ministry is currently not signaling a formal break with the non-proliferation regime.

🇮🇷 Iran promises: The next war will already be different
The acting Iranian defense minister stated that in the event of a new war, the country would act with significantly greater power and technological advancement than in previous confrontations.
According to him, the repetition of earlier threats by the adversary rather demonstrated an inability to properly assess the changes in Iran’s military capabilities. The statement came amid ongoing tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.

🇮🇳 India opens emergency energy channel for Nepal
Following the devastating floods and damage to Nepal’s energy infrastructure, New Delhi has approved supplying Nepal with up to 654 MW of electricity.
The deliveries are authorized for up to 18 hours per day and are expected to continue at least until the end of December. For Nepal, this is an emergency measure: floods and landslides have severely affected the country’s own hydropower system.

🇷🇺 Trump announces an “energy truce”
Donald Trump stated that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to end attacks on each other’s energy facilities. According to his words, Kyiv agreed not to attack Russian energy targets, while Moscow had allegedly committed to a corresponding obligation.
However, the Kremlin’s reaction was significantly more cautious than Trump’s statement: Dmitry Peskov welcomed the call to halt Ukrainian attacks on Russia’s civilian economic infrastructure, saying that such calls were “only to be welcomed.”
When Peskov was asked, however, whether Russia was prepared in return to halt its own attacks on Ukraine’s economic infrastructure, he did not confirm this.
Kyiv also did not confirm that an agreement had already been reached. Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine was ready for a mutual halt to attacks on critical infrastructure if the United States could ensure that Russia would actually comply with such a condition.
For now, this makes the situation look different from Trump’s original statement: Washington is already speaking of an agreement having been reached, Kyiv is expressing readiness on the condition of reciprocity, and Moscow welcomes an end to Ukrainian attacks but has made no corresponding public commitment.

Putin: “Deployment of European troops to Ukraine would mean war with Russia”
Vladimir Putin has once again warned European states against deploying a military contingent to Ukraine. The Russian position is that the presence of troops from European countries there could create the conditions for a direct military confrontation between Russia and Europe.
At the same time, Moscow continues to insist that it itself is not planning an attack on European states. Against this backdrop, the debate in Europe over possible forces to ensure a future peace agreement is becoming increasingly sensitive.

🇩🇪 It is being openly discussed within the CDU: A coalition with the AfD is possible
A few days before the election in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Sascha Ott, deputy chairman of the Vorpommern-Greifswald CDU district association, stated that the AfD could become a coalition partner of the CDU.
However, CDU state chairman and lead candidate Daniel Peters is sticking to the previous course: He reaffirmed the existing ban on coalitions and similar forms of cooperation with the AfD. This is particularly noteworthy against the backdrop of polls showing the CDU at around 7% in the state.

🇩🇪 AfD seeks repeat elections in four municipalities
Following the local elections in Lower Saxony, the AfD plans to challenge the exclusion of four of its candidates by filing complaints with the election review committees.
The elections in question are those in Lüneburg, Friesland, Wilhelmshaven and Herzberg am Harz. The election commissions excluded the candidates because of doubts about their loyalty to the constitution. The AfD initially intends to challenge the decisions before the election review committees and then, if necessary, take the matter to the administrative courts—the party expects to secure a repeat election in all four cases.
