'Zelensky Insults Trump More Than Iran': Russia's Savage Take On U.S-Ukraine Clash As Rift Deepens
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has launched a sharp attack on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, claiming his defiance of US President Donald Trump is damaging Washingtons interests more than Iran, Cuba and Venezuela combined. In a Telegram post, Medvedev accused Zelensky of rejecting US-backed peace proposals, working to turn European leaders against Trump and continuing attacks on Russian oil refineries despite Washingtons objections. He also alleged that Zelensky had misused American taxpayer money under both the Biden and Trump administrations and accused Kyiv of links to Mexican drug cartels. These allegations have not been independently established. The remarks come amid growing tensions between Trump and Zelensky over Ukraines military strategy, US support and the impact of attacks on Russian energy infrastructure. Meanwhile, Trump has temporarily eased certain sanctions on Russian fuel exports as part of an arrangement with Moscow to help address energy supply pressures, adding another layer to the shifting dynamics between Washington, Kyiv and Moscow.

Iran's Shock Message To Israeli Voters On Netanyahu Ahead Of Crucial Poll | 'Whether You Kick...'
Iran has dismissed the significance of Israels election less than 24 hours before voters head to the polls, saying it makes no difference who ultimately leads the country. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Israels political leadership had brought what he described as violence and killing to the region, arguing that Tehran sees little meaningful difference between the alternatives competing for power. The message comes as Benjamin Netanyahu has placed Iran prominently in the final days of his campaign. He has warned that Iran or its allies could attempt to disrupt the election and has portrayed Tehran as an existential security threat; Iran, meanwhile, has dismissed Netanyahus recent threats as empty and a sign of desperation. That creates a stark election-eve contrast: Netanyahu is telling Israelis that confronting Iran is central to the countrys future, while Tehran says whether Netanyahu stays or goes changes nothing in its view of Israel.

Formula 1: 'It was a good week overall', says Ferrari's Fred Vasseur after United States GP
Digital Desk | Austin, Oct 26 (IANS) Ferrari Team Principal Fred Vasseur called the United States Grand Prix a good week despite the team missing out on a double podium at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin. Team driver Charles Leclerc wanted more from the race after he finished P2 in Austin, while Lewis Hamilton finished P4 behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen as Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli won the race. I don't know if you had all the radio, but very early in the race, Charles was targeting P1, Vasseur said, as quoted by F1. And when you do P2, and you target P1, you are not happy. But this I like as a feeling. Honestly, at the end of the weekend, I think it's a good week, a good result for us for the third or fourth race in a row; we are the team scoring the biggest amount of points. I think we are on the right track, but for sure, when you have this feeling that you are in a good shape on the weekend and you do P2, you can have also a bit of frustration. But the frustration sometimes is good, he added. Ferrari went for a two-stop strategy after both their drivers started on the soft compound of tyres to push early after starting the race P4 and P5. The team principal felt the strategy was the best. Today I think that it was between one and two stops. We had to be aggressive starting from P4, P5. It was a good call from us. Now when you start a bit behind, you start to have the dirty air, and you have to be a bit more aggressive. And without perhaps the Virtual Safety Car at the end, Lewis was perhaps able to come back on Max, I don't know. Probably yes, he added. Ferrari have been doing well in the practice sessions this season, but have not been able to translate those outings into qualifying and races more often than not. Leclerc topped the timing sheets on Friday, and Hamilton was the fastest in FP3. The two were fourth and fifth in qualifying. However, the Ferrari team boss felt that the Saturday result was also good, considering that others did not improve as well. But overall, I think it's a good weekend in terms of pace and execution. Everything went well except the last lap in Q3. It's true for us, but if you have a look at (Saturday), I think it was quite particular that the two McLarens didn't improve, Russell didn't improve, and the two Red Bulls didn't improve. I think what is true is that with the cars or the tyres, the window is very narrow, and as soon as you are a bit out, quickly you lose two or three tenths. And today in F1 (in) the top eight, two or three tenths can be a sixth position. It means that you can move from the super result to nowhere for a gust of wind, or you slide a little bit too much on the out lap, or you have to slow down, as we had the case in Madrid, you have to slow down a little bit, don't stick to your pace on the out lap, or whatever, the impact is huge, he added. He also highlighted that the SF-26 package is doing well. Pace was good, he said. For sure, the pace from the beginning when we put the car on track on Friday morning, to the last lap of the race, the pace was there. What we have to pay attention to is that competitiveness is not just about the package; it's also the fact that sometimes set-up, tyre management, you are in the right spot, and you are doing a good weekend. And sometimes not. And if you have the package when you are not in the right spot, you can also have the feeling that it's not working, he added.

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 26 (IANS) Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on Monday pitched for linking the voters' list with Aadhaar and other biometric verification tools, arguing that this was the need of the hour given the scale of electoral irregularities and manipulation of electoral rolls by those in power. The SP supremo made the demand during a press conference on Monday, where he pointed fingers at the Centre and the Election Commission, accusing them of facilitating tampering of the voter list and rigging in elections. He accused the Centre of weakening democracy and eroding the trust of people in constitutional institutions through match-fixing of votes. The government that shuns questions weakens democracy, he said and called for safeguarding the integrity of elections by deploying the latest technology. Voter lists should be linked with Aadhaar, and a biometric system should be introduced at the polling booths. It should not be optional, and everyone should be added. These devices are not very expensive, and technology can help rectify irregularities, he said. The SP supremo, raising concerns over duplicate voter entries and their impact on electoral outcomes, said that on multiple occasions, the same names appear in the electoral rolls again and accused the BJP of orchestrating these discrepancies for electoral gains. Akhilesh alleged that over 2,000 entries under the name Sunita, wife of Rajesh have been found across the state. He emphasised that it is the Election Commission's responsibility to ensure that no eligible voter is left out and that no ineligible names are included, and argued that creating duplicate voter IDs would not be easy, but could be controlled to a large extent if the Commission harnesses technology to investigate the alleged irregularities. Akhileshs fresh attack on the poll panel and Centre came while inducting party leaders from other parties who jumped ship to join SP. The leaders who joined the SP in the presence of the party chief included former BJP MLAs Sinod Shakya and Kushagra Sagar, former IAS officer Ram Bahadur Pasi, BJP leader Chandra Kumar Mishra, and Dara Singh Prajapati (previously associated with the BSP). Akhilesh stated that the SP has experience of coalition politics and will work alongside its allies to oust the BJP from power. He urged party workers to strengthen the organisation at the booth level. He also commented that many BJP MLAs are also interested in switching allegiance.
