Yemen retaliatory operations
The Yemeni army says it has carried out fresh retaliatory operations against Saudi targets, hitting several positions deep inside the country using ballistic missiles. Saree said the operations were in response to the brutal Saudi aggression against Yemen and its people. He added that the operations were also in retaliation for the massacres committed on Saturday in the capital, Sana'a, and the liberated provinces, which left dozens of people dead and wounded. The Yemeni official reiterated that the army will not allow the Saudi criminal enemy to continue its bloodshed without a painful and unforgettable response. He also warned international and regional airlines, their employees, and passengers against traveling through Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, declaring it unsafe. Saree added that the Yemeni army will continue its operations deep inside Saudi territory, maintaining the equation of “a blockade for a blockade” and “an escalation for an escalation” until the aggression stops and the siege on the country is lifted.
Trump’s corrupt administration
Most Americans are concerned about corruption and graft in President Donald Trump’s second administration just days ahead of midterm elections. This, according to a new poll conducted by the Financial Times. The poll showed that about 69 percent of registered voters are “very” or “somewhat” concerned about “corruption, self-dealing or conflicts of interest” in the Trump administration. About half of all registered voters also said corruption has been more of a problem during Trump’s second term compared with previous administrations. The new revelation came amid reports that Trump’s second term has been lucrative for members of his family, who have made at least one billion dollars from a variety of crypto-currency ventures. The findings also came as Americans grapple with soaring fuel costs and high prices as a result of Trump’s unpopular aggression against Iran. About 56 percent of poll respondents said they had become worse off financially since Trump took office in January 2025, with more than a quarter saying they were forced to cut back on essential expenses, such as groceries or healthcare, since Trump took office.
Brazil presidential election
Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has clinched victory over right-wing contender, Flavio Bolsonaro, to win a fourth term in office following a tight runoff. Official results showed Lula has won 51.7 percent of votes compared to 48.2 percent for Bolsonaro. The results came after voting was extended for two hours by a supreme court judge following complaints that public transport issues had obstructed people from voting. Before the extension was announced, Lula had expressed concern about disruption to the public transport bus network in the major cities of Sao Paulo and Salvador. After voting in Sao Paulo, Lula said voters were choosing between a candidate who defends the Brazilian flag and one who prefers the US flag. Polls conducted ahead of the election showed a tight race between the two contenders, with voters mostly focused on cost of living, food prices, public security and corruption.
