Romance de Shawn Mendes e Bruna Marquezine

Marquezine e Mendes estão juntos desde o final do ano passado, período em que começaram a ser vistos em conjunto no Brasil e nos Estados Unidos. Na época, Shawn chegou a dominar os holofotes ao visitar o país para o Prêmio Earthshot de sustentabilidade, no Rio de Janeiro, e viajar a Belém para a COP-30.

Em entrevista recente, o músico disse estar se dedicando a construir uma relação duradoura com a atriz. Tenho estado ótimo. Tenho dedicado meu tempo a algo que nunca fiz antes: construir uma vida, uma comunidade e um lar, fora da minha carreira”, afirmou na conversa sobre seu tempo de descanso ao lado de Bruna, após o fim da turnê “On The Road Again”.

Desde que passaram a ser vistos juntos, Bruna e Shawn têm passado bastante tempo no Brasil, com idas e vindas aos Estados Unidos do casal. Ele passou uma estadia de mais de três meses na casa da brasileira, marcada por idas à praia, jantares e até um show da Xuxa juntos. No país, o cantor montou um estúdio para gravar o novo disco, inspirado na vivência na América Latina.

No começo de setembro, admiradores do casal começaram a especular sobre uma possível mudança do cantor para o Rio de Janeiro, onde Marquezine reside atualmente. Até o momento, porém, nenhum dos dois comentou sobre a possibilidade.

Ukrainian Command Pushes to Regain Bridgehead In Dnipropetrovsk Direction

26 October 2026 at 21:49

In the Dnipropetrovsk direction, Ukrainian units are attempting to regain control of the western bank of the Mokri Yaly River. In the Sumy direction, assault units of the “North” grouping continue to advance deeper into the region with heavy fighting, engaging near Khoten, Velyka Rybytsia and Nikolskoye. In the Kharkiv direction, Russian assault groups are pressing Ukrainian defenses towards Kharkiv and in the north-east of the region. In the Zaporozhye direction, airborne troops of the “Vostok” grouping have driven more than five kilometers into Ukrainian lines, forced the Solyonaya River and taken Obshcheye. In the Slavyansk direction, Russian units have resumed offensive operations north of the agglomeration, fighting in the Lyman area and along the Ozyornoye–Yampol line. Meanwhile, the reluctance of several EU countries to allocate further funds to Ukraine has caused bewilderment in Berlin: the Czech Republic and Slovakia have already indicated they will not take part in a new lending program, and Hungary is expected to adopt a similar stance.

Dnipropetrovsk direction

Fighting continues along the Mokri Yaly River, where Ukrainian forces are trying to re-establish control of the western bank in order to threaten the flank of Burlatskoye. Ukrainian formations were recently observed capturing a chain of strongpoints near Veseloye.

Russian troops retain firm control of Veseloye itself and most of the fortifications on its immediate approaches. The situation in neighboring Komar remains obscured by the “fog of war”; Ukrainian forces are actively employing loitering drones against supply units. On the right flank of the Dnipropetrovsk direction an extensive combat zone persists, with assault groups from both sides operating. Ukrainian units are relying on infiltration into the near rear of Russian positions in an effort to disrupt the defense and reach the fortified line along the Shevchenko–Veseloye axis.

Sumy direction

Assault units of the “North” grouping continue to push deeper into the Sumy region amid heavy fighting. Ukrainian forces have not conducted significant offensive actions and have concentrated on strikes against civilian targets in the border areas. Russian aviation, artillery and drone crews have struck concentrations of personnel and equipment in the areas of Sumy, Pervomayskoye, Gnilitsa, Podishche, Markovske, Stepanovka, Korenek, Malaya Slobodka and Krasnopolye.

In the Sumy district there are no major changes: Russian assault troops are advancing step by step near Khoten, Velyka Rybytsia and Nikolskoye. In the Shostka district Russian units have cleared a section of woodland near Korenek. Russian forces continue to methodically press Ukrainian defenses, supported by artillery and drones, thereby expanding their control in the border districts.

 

 

Kharkiv direction

Fierce fighting continues on all sectors of the front in the Kharkiv region. Russian units are pressing Ukrainian defenses towards Kharkiv and in the north-east of the region. The Ukrainian side is reinforcing its motorized infantry brigades with recruits from training centers.

On the Liptsy sector Russian assault groups are advancing south of Novaya Kazachya. Most of the area is already under Russian control; fighting is shifting towards Tsupovka. On the Volchansk and Velykyi Burluk sectors the heaviest fighting continues around Prikolotnoye and Malyi Burluk. Advances have been recorded near Bugayevka and Kotovka. Russian assault troops are pushing forward under heavy conditions in the Prikolotnoye, Bugayevka and Malyi Burluk areas, gaining up to 800 meters in the past 24 hours.

Zaporozhye direction

Near Malye Shcherbaki Russian airborne troops are expanding their zone of control and advancing along the gully towards Novoyakovlevka. In the Novopavlovka area Russian forces are holding their positions and striking Ukrainian units that are transferring reserves in an attempt to retake Orekhov.

The battle for the approaches to Orekhov is intensifying. While the southern outskirts of the town remain the scene of heavy fighting, Ukrainian forces continue to send small assault groups into Malaya Tokmachka. Members of Ukrainian units were recently hit by drones near the center of the village. It is likely that the Ukrainian side is attempting to reach IK-88, an area long used as the main defensive node for Malaya Tokmachka.

As a result of coordinated action by unmanned systems troops, artillery, aviation and assault troops of the 39th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade of the 68th Army Corps of the “Vostok” grouping, Russian forces have driven more than five kilometers into Ukrainian defenses, forced the Solyonaya River, overcome a system of engineer obstacles including an anti-tank ditch, and taken control of Obshcheye.

Slavyansk direction

East of the Slavyansk–Kramatorsk agglomeration Russian assault units continue to advance in the Raiskoye area. On the Krasny Liman sector Russian forces have resumed offensive operations north of the agglomeration. Fighting is under way in the Lyman area and along the Ozyornoye–Yampol line. Advances have been noted towards Maslyakovka and near Rai-Aleksandrovka. From the Zarechnoye area Russian units are moving towards Maslyakovka.

Meeting engagements continue in the Zarechnoye, Stavki and Dibrova sectors. Over the past 24 hours Russian units conducted several successful attacks towards Stavki and Dibrova. Reports from the eastern approaches to Krasny Liman are of particular interest: an advance from Zarechnoye towards Maslyakovka has been recorded, although the settlement itself has not yet passed under Russian control. Further south, heavy fighting continues along the Yampol–Ozyornoye line.

Conclusion

In the Dnipropetrovsk sector the struggle centers on the western bank of the Mokri Yaly and the retention of Veseloye. In the Sumy direction Russian forces are slowly pressing the defense near Khoten, Velyka Rybytsia and Korenek. In the Kharkiv direction pressure continues on Prikolotnoye, Bugayevka and Malyi Burluk. In the Zaporozhye direction the more than five-kilometer penetration, the forcing of the Solyonaya and the capture of Obshcheye create conditions for further envelopment of the Orekhov grouping. In the Slavyansk direction the resumption of attacks north of the agglomeration and fighting along the Ozyornoye–Yampol line are gradually eroding Ukrainian defenses.

Meanwhile, the reluctance of several EU member states to provide further funding for Ukraine has caused consternation in Berlin, according to Politico, citing European diplomats and officials. “How can one seriously expect our taxpayers to send even one more euro from the cohesion funds to those who refuse to take part in defending the EU against the greatest threat to our common security?” a German diplomat told the publication. The Czech Republic and Slovakia have already indicated they will not participate in a new lending program; according to two sources, Hungary is likely to take the same position. At a recent EU summit Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine would require an additional €70 billion in 2027.

As Cyberattacks Increase Fear of AI Bank Access Makes Headline News – Is there an Agenda?

26 October 2026 at 21:30

by Brian Shilhavy
Health Impact News

A major security threat happened on the Internet last week, where security flaws were revealed in PHP code, which is used by about 70% of the websites on the Internet.

Urgent security fix issued for code vital to estimated 70% of all websites

The code vulnerability could allow attackers to take over servers, experts say.

ABC News

Excerpts:

PHP may not be a household name, but the programming language, released over 30 years ago, powers a large share of websites and web applications. Nearly 70% of the internet is estimated to use PHP, including WordPress, which is used for more than 40% of websites.

Now the PHP development team is urging users to update immediately after fixing two critical vulnerabilities, rated 9.2 out of 10 in terms of danger, that if exploited could allow attackers to take over internet servers.

Full article.

This was not fake news; it was real. My entire IT team had to stop everything they were doing that day to address this problem and apply the fixes, as did most of the IT departments of the businesses we deal with everyday.

But a few days later, another story even more fearful appeared, leading readers to wonder if their bank accounts were safe from rogue “runaway AI bots.”

Banks Preparing for Aftermath of Unprecedented Catastrophe Caused by AI

“You can’t stop it.”

Excerpts:

Doomsaying about the coming AI apocalypse is no longer relegated to outbursts from a few tech billionaires.

Now, the major American banks whose policies dictate the flow of capital throughout the world are starting to worry about rogue AI, preparing contingency plans for the “day after” a theoretical AI-driven catastrophe.

That’s according to new reporting from Axios, which notes that banks are preparing for the worst as they experience a huge rise in AI agent activity on behalf of individual customers.

The main worry seems to be an influx of financial activity driven by autonomous AI agents, which have been authorized to access bank accounts by their human users.

In some cases, as Axios noted previously, those agents are making moves that haven’t explicitly been prompted by humans — a few even going so far as to contact call centers on behalf of their users, without being instructed to do so.

That’s become a major liability for top banks like Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, JPMorgan, and Wells Fargo, which are scrambling to implement security procedures and policy updates to get ahead of the AI swarm.

Failing to stay on top of emerging risks, some experts say, could result in financial catastrophe.

As chief economist at the Apollo wealth management firm Torsten Slok explained in a late September brief, AI agents operating under instructions to “optimize the return” on their users’ money could mean banks “lose a large share of the cheap deposits they rely on to make loans, which would be a problem for the entire financial system.”

Full article.

This “story” is NOT news. It is editorializing and predicting the future based on the classic “appeals to authority” where “experts” supposedly know more than we stupid human beings know who are not considered “experts”.

So is there an agenda here? What might come next?

ReallyGraceful published a good video looking into all of this.

Federação jovem dos estudos europeus quer melhorar literacia sobre a UE

By: Lusa
26 October 2026 at 21:21

A nova direção da Federação Nacional dos Estudos Europeus (FNEE), que reúne associações juvenis ligadas a esta temática, quer expandir a nível nacional um projeto relacionado com a literacia sobre a União Europeia (UE), anunciou esta segunda-feira o presidente Daniel Novais.

Em declarações à agência Lusa, o recém-eleito presidente da FNEE para um mandato de dois anos frisou que um dos objetivos da federação de associações juvenis passa pela melhoria da literacia dos jovens portugueses sobre a UE e o combate à desinformação.

Nesse âmbito, uma das metas da nova direção passa por expandir a mais regiões e municípios nacionais um projeto/estudo “feito com alunos do ensino secundário, em Coimbra, Lisboa e Évora“, explicou.

Segundo Daniel Novais, o projeto de literacia baseou-se em dados de um estudo “que trabalha perceções de jovens sobre a União Europeia”, intitulado “EU4YOU – Tu Contas na Europa — Auscultação Aos Jovens”.

Natural de Coimbra, o novo presidente da FNEE tem 23 anos, é licenciado em Relações Internacionais pela Universidade de Évora e finalista de mestrado em Ciência Política pela Universidade de Aveiro, e partilhou com a agência Lusa os objetivos da equipa que lidera.

“Nos últimos anos, temos tentado e temos conseguido, crescer um bocadinho para lá dos estudos europeus”, enfatizou Daniel Novais, observando que o encontro nacional que realizam, todos os anos, tem vindo a diversificar os temas em discussão e também os participantes.

“Tentamos fazer aqui uma representação, uma divulgação e uma atenção sobre os estudos europeus, mas também, a nível mais geral, fazendo um paralelismo para as questões internacionais. Porque sabemos que a União Europeia não trabalha sozinha e as questões que a União Europeia trabalha, muitas não são dentro das suas fronteiras“, argumentou, aludindo aos conflitos na Ucrânia, Palestina ou no estreito de Ormuz, ou temas como a segurança ou energia.

Já uma nota da federação assinala que o novo mandato “representa uma nova etapa para a FNEE, formada pelas associações juvenis focadas no estudo, investigação e partilha de conhecimento em várias áreas científicas relacionadas com os estudos europeus passando pelas relações internacionais, a ciência política e o direito”.

Gaza Camp Fire Leaves More Than 800 Homeless After Drone Strike

More than 800 Palestinians lost their homes after a fire gutted a displacement camp in the Shujaiya neighborhood of eastern Gaza City, in an attack the Gaza Ministry of Public Works and Housing blamed on Israeli military drones.


The blaze consumed the camp’s tents and nearly everything inside them, according to the Gazan Ministry, which said quadcopter drones operated by Israeli forces ignited the fire on October 26.

The fire affected more than 200 families, made up mostly of women, children, the elderly and people with vulnerable health conditions, the Gaza Ministry of Public Works and Housing detailed. The flames caused panic among residents, who have no housing alternatives.

The Shujaiya camp sheltered families who had already fled their homes in other parts of the territory. Many had moved more than once since the war began, carrying whatever they could salvage each time.

💢🇵🇸 Over 800 Palestinians have been forced to displace yet again from Shujaiya, an eastern neighborhood in Gaza City, after Israeli forces set fire to a displacement camp, according to Al Jazeera.

Drones Blamed

Palestinian authorities called the fire a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions. They framed it as part of a deliberate policy of forced displacement designed to push people out of the territory.

The Ministry of Public Works and Housing demanded urgent action from the international community, the UN Security Council, and the United Nations, and it asked those bodies to halt the attacks on civilians without further delay. It also pressed humanitarian agencies to deliver tents, temporary shelters, and essential supplies immediately to families left without roofs or belongings.

Local spokespeople linked the persistence of military operations to the tense electoral climate inside Israel, where security politics have hardened. Security operations have long featured in Israeli campaigns, and commanders face domestic pressure to show results even as international criticism mounts.

A ceasefire agreement announced on October 10, 2025, never produced calm on the ground. Israeli forces have maintained recurrent bombings, shootings, and demolition work across different parts of the Gaza Strip. Official records show the zionist offensive launched in October 2023 has now surpassed 74,000 deaths and left 175,000 people wounded.

Human rights organizations renewed their demands for a halt to hostilities and for safe, unobstructed access for humanitarian assistance. The widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure has made recovery more difficult for communities worn down by repeated strikes. Hospitals, schools, and homes lie in ruins across the territory.

Aid agencies describe the situation as catastrophic. Clean water, medicine, and fuel remain scarce, and the latest fire has multiplied the need for emergency shelter in a place where almost every building is damaged.

Palestinian officials say the fire is not an isolated event but a symptom of a broader campaign against civilian life, insisting the international response so far has fallen short of the scale of the crisis.

Porto admite revogar decisão que trocou habitação acessível por dinheiro

26 October 2026 at 20:12

Pedro Duarte, presidente da Câmara Municipal do Porto, na Fábrica2030Hugo Amaral

O presidente da Câmara do Porto admitiu, esta segunda-feira, revogar as sete deliberações sobre zonamento inclusivo, aprovadas na última reunião do executivo, que permitem aos promotores imobiliários pagar compensações financeiras em vez de disponibilizar habitação para arrendamento acessível. O município vai rever o regulamento, propondo obrigar hotéis e unidades de alojamento local a ceder habitação acessível.

A decisão surge depois de o PS ter apontado ilegalidades à aplicação do regime de zonamento inclusivo e de ter formalizado uma queixa junto do Departamento de Investigação e Ação Penal (DIAP).

“O executivo municipal rejeita as acusações formuladas pelo Partido Socialista quanto a qualquer ilegalidade relativa à decisão tomada na última reunião de Câmara, relativa a sete processos em concreto”, lê-se num comunicado enviado às redações pela autarquia da Invicta.

Apesar de rejeitar as acusações e “dada a abordagem alarmista e à gravidade das suspeições elencadas“, o Executivo PSD/CDS/IL “convida” vereadores do PS e do Chega para uma reunião com os serviços municipais, aberta à comunicação social, para esclarecer os processos em causa. E desafia o PS a explicar como a autarquia poderia obrigar os promotores destes sete processos a disponibilizar habitação acessível.

“Caso, no final dessa reunião, o PS continue a insistir que essa alternativa é viável, o presidente da câmara compromete-se a apresentar uma proposta de revogação da deliberação assumida na última reunião” camarária, assegura o Executivo de Pedro Duarte.

O atual regime é um dissuasor que incrementa custos de investimento e construção que, previsivelmente, se repercutem no aumento do preço final da habitação.

Câmara Municipal do Porto

Em paralelo, a Câmara do Porto vai propor alterações ao Regulamento Perequativo de Edificabilidade e de Encargos Urbanísticos (RPEEU), que define os termos do zonamento inclusivo. A proposta será submetida a apreciação na próxima reunião do Executivo, prevista para 3 de novembro.

Uma das principais alterações passa por obrigar hotéis e alojamento local a afetar casas com rendas acessíveis ou área para arrendamento acessível, acabando de substituir essa obrigação pelo pagamento de uma compensação financeira.

Segundo o município, desde a entrada em vigor do regulamento, em 2021, nenhuma habitação foi construída ou destinada ao arrendamento acessível ao abrigo deste mecanismo.

Com esta medida, o município procura “incentivar o reforço da oferta habitacional nesta área da cidade”, defendendo que “o atual regime é um dissuasor que incrementa custos de investimento e construção que, previsivelmente, se repercutem no aumento do preço final da habitação”.

O Executivo de Pedro Duarte é perentório: “As políticas públicas devem fomentar a descida de preços no acesso à habitação, não o inverso”.

Defiance Has Limits: Kyiv’s Red Lines Meet Battlefield Reality

26 October 2026 at 20:05

Kyiv has shown that Washington’s leverage over it is limited, at least for now. As the American peace initiative moves forward, Volodymyr Zelenskyy is drawing public red lines, and the ball is back in Donald Trump’s court.

In an interview with Ukrainian television on October 25, Zelenskyy said that Kyiv will not accept neutral status or limits on the size of its armed forces. Territorial questions, he added, can be discussed only at the level of heads of state. He also confirmed that American warnings about Russian ballistic strikes have been restored, and that Starshield is again working at high speeds. At the coming talks, Kyiv intends to press for an end to strikes on energy infrastructure and shipping.

Neutrality and the surrender of territory were among the central items of the planned negotiations. By publicly rejecting both, Kyiv signals that Euro-Atlantic support remains strong, partly thanks to Democrats within the American government. Since Trump launched the initiative, the next move belongs to him.

On the battlefield, the past week has brought a lull in activity, but the fighting has not stopped for a moment.

In the Chernihiv Oblast, on October 25, crews of Russian Geran-2 strike drones hit positions of Ukraine’s 143rd Mechanized Brigade and the 114th Territorial Defense Brigade. Explosions were also reported at positions of the 105th Border Detachment near Horodyshche.

In the Sumy Oblast, Ukrainian command is deploying a large number of Special Operations Forces units. The 111th Signals Regiment of Ukraine’s special forces is organizing communication and coordination among them. These preparations point to one likely conclusion: Ukraine intends to sharply increase sabotage activity in the border zone. Ukrainian troops have used the tactic many times, crossing the border and planting national flags in Russian villages. Such raids serve mainly online publicity. The group returns immediately after the flag is raised, so there is no question of real control over the ground.

On the Slavyansk axis, the main fighting has moved south of Druzhkivka. On October 24, forward Russian assault units took control of the village of Raiske, less than three kilometers from the city limits. A day later, neighboring Novoandriivka was fully cleared. The defenses of Ukraine’s 93rd Mechanized Brigade, 4th Heavy Mechanized Brigade, and 107th Territorial Defense Brigade, which face the Russian advance, are likely to come under assault soon.

Zelenskyy is speaking the language of defiance, but a lull is not a turning point. Washington still holds the levers of intelligence, satellite access, and weapons supply. Russia, for its part, is closing in on Druzhkivka, and the first test of Kyiv’s red lines will come on the ground, not at the table.
