A special relief centre has begun operating at the arrival point for the Ukrainian humanitarian mission from the temporarily occupied town of Oleshky.

Soldiers from the 1021st Anti-Aircraft Missile and Artillery Brigade used a ‘Gepard’ self-propelled anti-aircraft gun to destroy two Russian attack drones during a single day on combat duty.

On the night of October 31, the Ukrainian Defense Forces launched a strike against a facility belonging to the Russian military-industrial complex—the "Kamensky" plant in the city of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, Rostov region, Russian Federation.

Due to widespread damage to the energy infrastructure, the situation remains difficult in many regions of the country, including Kyiv.

A video has been published online showing the Russian occupiers’ night-time ballistic attack on Kyiv, which took place on the night of 30 October and was captured from space.

Yesterday, the enemy launched devastating attacks on the energy infrastructure across the country, including in Kyiv. In the capital, the thermal power plant was once again targeted.

Pilots from the SIGNUM battalion of the 59th Separate Assault Brigade of the Unmanned Systems Forces completely destroyed a fully loaded Russian BM-21 ‘Grad’ multiple launch rocket system whilst it was in its combat position.

Last night, Russian ‘suicide drones’ struck a thermal power station in Kyiv. In the Dnipropetrovsk region, four electrical substations were hit last night alone.

Ukraine’s Minister of Defence Yevhen Khmara and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatyi held a joint meeting.

In October 2026, Russian occupation forces suffered their highest casualty figures since the start of the full-scale invasion. A significant proportion of these occurred within the area of responsibility of the 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine’s ‘Azov’ unit.

The total losses of the Russian army in the war against Ukraine, including military personnel killed and wounded, may range from 1.4 to 2.1 million people.

The last plane carrying residents evacuated from Oleshky has landed in Gomel, Belarus.

El accidente de trenes en Urda ha dejado un balance provisional de 69 muertos, decenas de heridos y numerosos desaparecidos.

Tras los primeros días de confusión se van conociendo poco a poco las historias personales de los víctimas de la tragedia. Antonio, Martín, Julieta... son algunos de los nombres de los que perdieron la vida entre las localidades de Urda y Los Yébenes.

Ahora, también se están dando a conocer algunas de las historias de los supervivientes y cómo salieron con vida de entre el amasijo de hierros y escombros en los que se convirtieron los trenes AVE e Iryo.

Es el caso de Almudena, una joven sevillana que fue rescatada tras un complicado trabajo de los servicios de emergencia y que se ha convertido en la única superviviente del vagón 8, uno de los más afectados tras el choque.

La historia del rescate de Almudena ha sido relatada por Salvador uno de los guardias civiles que acudieron al lugar del accidente y ha sido compartida en la redes sociales de la Benemérita.

 

El joven agente, visiblemente emocionado, narra en el vídeo que se encontraba frustrado porque la joven sevillana era la única que salió viva de ese vagón número 8.

"El vagón 8 estaba volcado, explica el guardia civil, y escuchamos a una chica gritar dentro. Nos tumbamos, tuvimos que pasar arrastrándonos por el vagón y no la veíamos. Después de un rato que parecía que no la veíamos pues apareció su mano. Tenía heridas sangrantes y tuvimos que taponar y sacar todo lo que tenía debajo que la aprisionaba".

Una vez que vieron la mano de la mujer, los agentes descubrieron que se encontraba consciente y comenzaron a hablar con ella.

"Sabemos que se llamaba Almudena porque se lo preguntamos y que era de Sevilla, porque en la mano derecha llevaba una pulsera verde, de una hermandad", explica Salvador.

El guardia civil estuvo más de una hora acompañando a la herida y "finalmente pudieron rescatarla".

En el vídeo asegura que "tras una hora y pico luchando con ella, salió, salió con vida de ese vagón, que fue la única persona que pudimos rescatar de allí con vida".

Además, dice que la agarraron de la mano "y ya no la soltamos". "Empezamos a hacer turnos para extraer todo lo que podíamos de encima de ella hasta que, dado un punto, ya pudimos acceder bien a ella, le veíamos las piernas, que tenía una traviesa encima, parece ser del otro AVE, no lo sabemos".

Pero la labor de Salvador no quedó en el rescate y horas después se puso en contacto con el hospital al que había sido trasladada para interesarse por su situación

"Por la tarde me confirmaron que había una chica, le pregunté por sus rasgos, me lo confirmaron". Poco después ya pudo hablar con Julio, el novio de la joven sevillana, que le confirmó que estaba viva y se encontraba en buen estado.

In late October, I fell into a conversation with Susie Tho after an appearance by Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman at the Mid-Wilshire restaurant Gritz N Wafflez. Tho, a mom and an entrepreneur, told me she voted for former reality show star Spencer Pratt, a Republican, in the city’s June primary. She attended the Raman event, she said, because she’s still undecided on who to support in the upcoming election.

Tho’s indecision highlights the unsettled state of the mayoral race in America’s second-largest city. Polls show that the race is tightening — and that many voters still appear less than enthusiastic about their choices. Do they go with unpopular incumbent Karen Bass, who swears she has really, really learned her lesson since the 2025 Palisades fire? Or do they pull a lever for Raman, the younger, left-wing challenger aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America, who radiates earnestness but is often verbally flat-footed and struggles to get along with her fellow City Council members.

It’s hard to know where the trouble with Los Angeles starts, or how it will be fixed.

It’s no small irony that in this famously liberal city, the answer will come down to Pratt voters like Tho. The candidate continues to maintain an outsize presence in the race, still rage-posting about the Palisades fire, where he — along with thousands of other city residents — lost his home. He seems to despise both Bass and Raman; “Dumb and Dumber” is one of the more polite ways he has described his former rivals.

But Pratt has also given voice to a long unspoken anger almost all Angelenos, no matter their political leanings, feel with the city’s direction — or, more properly, perhaps, lack of direction. Tho, for instance, cites a growing rat problem in her Koreatown neighborhood. And the pest issue is just the tip of the iceberg. “Sanitation’s horrible, homelessness is horrible. Businesses are closing and the community is kind of tired of it,” she said.

It’s hard to know where the trouble with Los Angeles starts, or how it will be fixed. Despite a surge of spending, homelessness increased last year (after two years of declines). More than $2 billion in funds to address the issue went missing. While Hollywood struggles, the state of New York is on the verge of overtaking California on film production spending. Average response time for 911 calls is woeful: More than 40% of emergency calls go unanswered within the state-mandated 15 seconds, and less urgent calls can take up to an hour to reach an operator.

Basic maintenance is lacking: Water mains break constantly; street repaving, in this city of drivers, is all but nonexistent. The people mover at Los Angeles International Airport, originally scheduled for completion in 2023, is more than $1 billion over budget and still MIA — unless, that is, you count the endless test runs of an empty train.

Cronyism, questionable dealings and incompetence are all but endemic.The local zoo, the last major U.S. zoo run by a city government, is mired in scandal and near collapse.

Even the city’s famously lovely weather has failed to cooperate. This year’s “super” El Nino has brought unprecedented humidity and mosquitos — the latter a true menace in a region where, until the past few years, mosquitoes were so rare many homes had no screens on their windows. The heat wave, in turn, resulted in epic power bills, which are hitting mailboxes now.

Raman, who moved to Los Angeles in 2013, sometimes shows a remarkable unfamiliarity with the city she now wants to lead.

Residents find themselves wondering how it all went wrong. Comedian Heidi Prazloff voted for Bass in 2022, but is now casting her ballot and knocking on doors for her opponent. “LA could be the coolest city in the world, but it feels like nothing is changing and some change would be really good,” she told me when I ran into her at an Eagle Rock pastry shop as she was taking a break from canvassing for Raman. “Karen Bass has been given her chance.”

Bass appeared all but oblivious to the growing fury and despair — until, that is, Pratt attracted a following and Raman entered the race. It took her more than two years to appoint a film liaison for the city, during a period when two Hollywood guilds went on strike and film shoots fell off a cliff. She announced a plan to help expedite restaurant permitting this week; as one X user asked, “Did she just remember she was the mayor?”

Raman is campaigning on increased accountability and an Elizabeth Warren-esque enthusiasm for plans: to make film-shoot permits easier to obtain, and to make it easier to open and operate restaurants and to build housing. These plans impressed me enough that I made a donation to her campaign during the primary.

But Raman, who moved to Los Angeles in 2013, sometimes shows a remarkable unfamiliarity with the city she now wants to lead. During a recent debate, for instance, she praised the policing under former police chief Daryl Gates, whose tenure was marked by mass arrests and brutal treatment of Black and Hispanic residents. A number of her current constituents say her City Council office is unresponsive, something Bass points out repeatedly. And her plan to address homelessness — which includes backtracking on the city’s crackdown on encampments near schools — is highly unlikely to appeal to Pratt voters.

It’s also worth noting that not one of Raman’s colleagues on the council has endorsed her, including the other three members aligned with the DSA. Then again, at least in my experience, the typical Angeleno appears to think of their City Council member as someone who isn’t there for them, so this may well turn out to be a selling point for Raman.

The DSA itself also has become something of a wild card in the equation. The national organization is threatening to rescind the Los Angeles chapter’s endorsement of Raman over the fact it believes she needs to more explicitly endorse the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel. The local chapter continues to support her — hardly a surprise in a city where voters say their top concerns are quality of life, affordability and getting a grip on the seemingly intractable homelessness problem.

Ultimately, many Los Angeles voters appear to be weighing a less-than-pleasant choice: Do they stick with the known quantity in the ineffectual Bass, or do they vote for Raman, even if they disagree with her left-leaning politics, in the hopes she can make positive change? The only thing that seems certain is that no matter the outcome, Pratt will remain a virtual thorn in the winner’s side.
