Republican lawmakers to bring Bill to block Trump's Russian diesel deal
Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick has declared that he would bring a bipartisan Bill to block President Donald Trump's move to lift sanctions on Russian diesel after talks with President Vladimir Putin. Fitzpatrick's move has received support from outgoing Congressman Don Bacon, a Republican from Nebraska, who has decided to co-sponsor the legislation. However, the move appears to be largely symbolic as the US House of Representatives will have a few months to pass as the term of the house expires in January. We will be introducing bipartisan legislation to block any and all purchases of Russian oil, Fitzpatrick, the co-chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, said in a post on x. It will be called the 'Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act'. It will be forced to the Floor via discharge and it will pass overwhelmingly, he said. I've already agreed to be an original cosponsor. Congress must make a stand, Bacon said in a post on X. Bacon is not seeking re-election
Mystery surrounds death of young worker in Russia studying deadly diseases
The World Health Organisation (WHO) said Saturday it still doesn't know what caused the death of a young worker at a lab in Russia that focuses on plague and other illnesses. The UN health agency has cited initial, unconfirmed reports suggesting pneumonic plague, a severe disease less common than the better-known bubonic plague linked to the Black Death in the Middle Ages. Pneumonic plague spreads from person to person, causing a severe form of pneumonia, but recovery rates are high if it is detected and treated in time. WHO, in its first full Disease Outbreak News since the case emerged earlier this month, called for a continued investigation. Russian health officials, it said, had conducted more than 5,500 tests and found no evidence of any dangerous pathogenic microorganisms. Additional clinical, epidemiological and laboratory information, including confirmation of the diagnosis in the deceased laboratory worker, is required to improve confidence in the assessment, WHO said.

Gulf PANICS After Iran Ally Burns Riyadh Airport; Houthis Planning Strikes On Saudis Allies Now?
Riyadhs main international airport has come under attack for the third time within a week, intensifying concerns that Saudi Arabias escalating confrontation with Yemens Houthis could have consequences across the wider Gulf. The latest strike temporarily disrupted operations at King Khalid International Airport, injured people and forced incoming aircraft to divert, including to Jeddah. The repeated attacks demonstrate how weapons launched from Yemen can threaten critical infrastructure hundreds of kilometres away as the Saudi-led coalition intensifies operations against Houthi positions and suspected launch sites. The escalation also carries implications beyond Saudi Arabia. GCC states share interconnected airspace, shipping routes and energy infrastructure, while American military installations are distributed across several Gulf countries. Further expansion of the conflict could therefore affect regional aviation, maritime traffic and security. After three attacks on Riyadh airport in one week, neighbouring states will be watching closely for signs that the confrontation is spreading beyond the Saudi-Houthi battlefield.

It was the deadliest attack in any Gulf Arab country since the start of the Iran war, whose fronts have expanded to include the recent surge in fighting between the Houthis and Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces. A missile struck a King Khalid International Airport complex housing terminals 3 and 4 for domestic flights, a regional official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak to the media.

Terrible Fire Is The End Result: Iran Warns Tankers After Supertanker Hits Mine In Hormuz
A crude supertanker is burning in the Strait of Hormuz after reportedly striking a mine, with Irans IRGC claiming the vessel ignored navigation rules while attempting to leave the strategic waterway through an unauthorised route. According to an IRGC statement carried by Tasnim, the tanker had switched off its navigation and positioning systems before the explosion. That account has not been independently verified, while the vessels identity, crew condition and the origin of the reported mine remain unclear. The IRGC has used the incident to issue a warning to other commercial vessels, saying a terrible fire is the end result for tankers that ignore security rules in the Strait. A reported mine strike carries wider implications because uncertainty over additional mines can disrupt surrounding shipping lanes. Hormuz is one of the worlds most important energy corridors, carrying major volumes of oil and gas from the Persian Gulf to international markets.

12 killed, 309 injured in attack on Riyadh airport as Houthis, Saudi Arabia trade strikes
Digital Desk | Riyadh, Oct 11 (IANS) An attack targeting King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital Riyadh on Saturday afternoon has killed 12 people and injured 309 others, the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation said, as Yemen's Houthi group and Saudi Arabia continued exchanging strikes on major airports. The Saudi aviation authority said in a statement early Sunday that the fatalities included four Saudi citizens and eight foreign residents -- two Bangladeshis and one each from the United States, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine and Sudan, Xinhua news agency reported. The injured are receiving treatment at several hospitals, with some in serious condition, the authority said. The authority said in an earlier statement that operations at the airport had been temporarily suspended pending damage assessments and safety checks. Following the Saturday attack, the Houthi group said in a statement that it was ready for reciprocal measures with Saudi Arabia to keep airports, seaports and other facilities with humanitarian functions outside the escalating military confrontation. Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported Saturday that Saudi Arabia launched a new wave of air and missile strikes across Houthi-held areas in Yemen, targeting Sanaa International Airport in the Houthi-held capital, areas near the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait and several northern provinces. Also on Saturday, Yemen's government forces said that more than 1,150 Houthi fighters had been eutralized and over 180 military and logistical vehicles destroyed or damaged in over 1,900 strikes across multiple fronts in Yemen in the past 24 hours. The figures could not be independently verified. Around Yemen's southwestern city of Taiz, Houthi advances have put increasing pressure on government forces defending the city and disrupted key roads connecting it with government-held areas in southern Yemen, government military sources told Xinhua, adding that fierce clashes were underway south of the city. Supported by Saudi airstrikes, the Yemeni government launched a large-scale offensive on Monday, seeking to retake Houthi-held territory, with some of the fiercest fighting concentrated around the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait. Yemen has been mired in conflict since late 2014, when the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa and much of the country's north. A Saudi-led coalition intervened in 2015 in support of the internationally recognised Yemeni government, now based in the southern port city of Aden. The renewed fighting marked a major escalation after a UN-brokered truce in 2022 largely halted major hostilities.
