I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Carney spoke with Trump
OTTAWA, ON, Oct. 11, 2026 /CNW/ --Today, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, spoke with the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
The Prime Minister thanked the President for his leadership toward securing an energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. He expressed Canada's strong support for this agreement and reiterated President Zelenskyy's call for Russia to uphold it. It is imperative that all attacks on energy infrastructure and civilians cease immediately.
Canada will continue to join allies in supporting Ukraine's defences and its citizens. And we will continue to maximise our exports of oil and diesel to the United States that yield well over a million barrels of diesel per day.

Why on earth does this BBC piece on Burnham telling an interviewer the UK security services confirmed Russian interference in the Brexit referendum require a response from a pro Brexit pressure group? It's literally our Prime Minister telling us about election security. It's nothing to do with them.
The prime minister told The Rest is Politics podcast that upon arriving in No 10, he had asked about possible Russian interference in the 2016 vote, adding: "I've had the clear answer that, yes, there was."

"I think we've been too much on the back foot on that actually and we haven't informed people sufficiently about the extent to which people are seeking to disrupt the political process from overseas," he added.

Burnham did not provide further details about the type or extent of Moscow's activity during the Brexit referendum.

Britain Unbound, a pro-Brexit campaign group, said Burnham's comments were "another crude attempt to undermine the legitimacy of the decision that the British people made in 2016".

It said that foreign interference in UK elections was "obviously unacceptable" but added: "There is no good reason to believe that Russian intervention influenced the outcome of the referendum in 2016.

US threat to stop procurement system that provides Ukraine weapons, FT
The US is threatening to stop the procurement system that provides Ukraine with weapons in order to press Kyiv to halt its deep strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, the Financial Times reported on Sunday, citing officials in Europe.

The US had made threats to cut off intelligence sharing and the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) mechanism for procuring US weapons for Ukraine, the officials added.

“They are calling Kyiv . . . they are calling everyone [in Europe],” said an official who received a call from a US defence official.

Under terms of the deal as described by #Trump on Friday, #Russia will immediately supply more than 300,000 metric tons of diesel to US and ⁠global markets, equal to about 2.25 million barrels of fuel. ​The US exports ​about 1.5 million barrels of diesel ​per day.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on ⁠Sunday in response to critical comments from US President Donald Trump that he will organize elections in Ukraine if ⁠Russian President Vladimir ⁠Putin agrees to ​a 60-day ceasefire.

“Please tell Putin, give us two months, 60 days of total ceasefire, 60 days, and ⁠we will organize elections,” Zelenskyy told ABC’s This Week programme.

Trump on Saturday criticized Zelenskyy for attacking Russian oil refineries a day after the ⁠US temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian fuel that were designed to deprive ​Moscow of revenues to fund its ‌war in Ukraine.

“I think ‌it’s time for Ukraine to get a new president,” Trump had told ‌reporters at the White House.

In response, Zelenskyy said “it’s up to Ukrainians” to choose their leader and noted that Putin would also like to change who is leading Ukraine.

He said it is easy for Ukraine to be blamed for higher fuel prices “when everybody in the world understands ‌because of the war in (the) Middle East, the prices are rising.“

Earlier on Sunday, Zelenskyy said Ukraine was ready to halt attacks ​on Russian oil refineries if Moscow ceases its own strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

Under terms of the deal as described by Trump on Friday, Russia will immediately supply more than 300,000 metric tons of diesel to US and ⁠global markets, equal to about 2.25 million barrels of fuel. ​The US exports ​about 1.5 million barrels of diesel ​per day.

Trump is under pressure to bring down rising ​fuel prices ahead of ‌November midterm ​elections that will ​determine whether his Republican Party will retain control of the US Congress for his final two years in office.

Many lawmakers, including Republicans, have criticized the diesel deal as rewarding Putin.

Most likely Iran, cannot discount Russia #Fairford #RAF
A quiet corner of Gloucestershire found itself at the centre of the headlines today, after police declared a major incident near RAF Fairford.

The alarm was sounded at around 00:45 BST, as "three suspicious vehicles" were seen travelling towards the base.

Five men have been arrested on suspicion of preparation of a terrorist act and explosive offences.

Fairford is used by the US Air Force, which has - since March - been launching attacks against Iran from its runway.

The investigation is now in the hands of Counter Terror Police, who have said its investigation is in the "early stages".

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has urged "not to speculate while the authorities establish the full facts". And we also heard from US President Donald Trump, who told reporters that the accused were "looking to do big damage to our fort".

As of Sunday evening, the cordon remains in place, and more than 80 households are unable to return home while investigations into the vehicles continue.

We're ending our live coverage now, but you can keep up-to-date with the latest on this in our news story.
