U.S. resumes intelligence-sharing with Ukraine after pause, Zelensky says
Oct 18 (Reuters) - The United States has resumed providing Ukraine critical intelligence to help it defend against Russian missile strikes, after a brief pause, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in comments published on Sunday. Ukraine has relied on US intelligence to spot the fast-moving ballistic missiles that Russia has fired in waves at its cities. US President Donald Trump had said earlier this week that Washington was still sharing intelligence, although Ukrainian officials said some Russian strikes had occurred without warning. Speaking toNBC's Meet the Press, Zelenskiy said intelligence-sharing had been interrupted but later de-blocked. We are very thankful for this, he said. Now it works. But Zelenskiy said other US actions, such as signing a deal to import Russian diesel and waiving sanctions on Russia that had been slated to take effect this week, will hurt Ukraine. If the United States will officially take the side of Russia, of course if these two countries will be together, of course we will not prevail and we will not be able to stand, he said. Over the past week, awidening rift between Trump and Zelenskiyhas sparked concerns that theirtumultuous relationship could lead to even worse outcomes for Kyiv. Zelenskiy told NBC that he hopes Trump will remain an ally of Ukraine. We want to trust him, and I hope that he will change his decisions, Zelenskiy said. Because I think that it's all mistakes and it will not help us. And it will not help United States. In a Truth Social post on Sunday afternoon, Trump wrote that his decision-making was aimed at avoiding anything that will drive, foolishly, Russia away from the bargaining table. Ukraine gets US help that Russia does not receive, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent toldNBC, citing intelligence-sharing and the provision of US munitions to other countries for resale to Ukraine. ButBessent, speaking with Meet the Press after it aired Zelenskiy's interview, did not directly answer when asked multiple times whether the United States views Ukraine as an ally. Zelenskiy presents a false binary this morning that Ukraine must win, Bessent said. The war must end, and that will be with some kind of a negotiated settlement.

Rubio says Trump will take up to 60 days to weigh Russia sanctions
By Nandita Bose and Gram Slattery Oct 17 (Reuters) - The day after waiving sanctions and tariffs related to Russian exports, US President Donald Trump said on Saturday he has yet to announce a final decision on the matter, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio said officials want more time to evaluate the situation. Rubio said on Saturday that the president will use up to 60 days to assess the economic impact of Russia-related sanctions and tariffs that he waived a day earlier. A lot of you don't know what my decision is yet, but we'll figure it out, and you'll figure it out, Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump wrote that his decision-making was aimed at avoiding anything that will drive, foolishly, Russia away from the bargaining table. Trump signed an executive order on Friday waiving key sanctions and tariffs under the law known as the Graham Act, which he signed last month at the urging of lawmakers who want to pressure Moscow over its war in Ukraine. The measures, including tariffs on Russian goods and penalties on countries buying Russian oil and gas, were due to take effect next week.Friday's order did not specify how long the waiver would last, but Rubio said Trump opted for a 60-day review. I think the president wants to take the 60-day period of time to sort of analyze what imposing both sanctions and tariffs will mean to the global economy and even to the USeconomy, Rubio told reporters before boarding a plane for a trip to Uzbekistan. Friday's executive orderdrew criticism from Ukrainian PresidentVolodymyr Zelenskiy, who warned it would embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin and prolong the war. DIESEL SUPPLIES Rubio on Saturday also defended a separate US agreement with Russia to increase diesel supplies to global markets, aimed at easing fuel prices that have climbed amid the war with Iran and disruptions to energy supplies. That diesel is going to be sold one way or the other,Rubio said. The only difference is how much of it the United States was going to get. Under the agreement, Trump said Russia initially would supply more than 300,000 metric tons of diesel to the United States, followed by shipments in November and beyond. The diesel agreement is a carrot to try to end the war, not an economic lifeline to Russia, US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright said during a Sunday interview on ABC's This Week. But the only way they can get additional diesel to export is if they turn down the conflict with Ukraine, Wright told CNN's State of the Union program on Sunday. If Russia can bring additional diesel to the market and export it, it would benefit American consumers, he told CNN. He's putting pressure that would both benefit American consumers and be a step forward for peace in the Russia-Ukraine war. Rubio said the diesel deal and sanctions waiver reflected the challenge of managing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine that have disrupted global energy supplies. These conflicts around the world are starting to crash into each other, he said.

Jackson doesn't regret telling Collins to 'shut up' after protester interrupted debate
WASHINGTON (AP) Maine Democrat Troy Jackson says he does not regret telling Sen. Susan Collins that she should shut up after the Republican suggested a protester who interrupted their recent debate was one of his campaign's backers. She said that it was a Troy supporter. She accused me of setting that up. I had no idea who it was, said Jackson, a former president of the state Senate who is trying to deny Collins, the longest-serving Republican woman in Senate history, a sixth-term. He spoke in an interview with CNNs State of the Union that aired Sunday. During their final debate Thursday night in the closely contested race, as the Nov. 3 election nears a protester opposing data centers began yelling as Collins spoke. While moderators asked for that person to be removed, the senator said the demonstrator was obviously one of Troys supporters. Jackson responded: Oh, shut up. I dont even know that kid. The Sunrise Movement group posted on its Instagram page that the outburst came from one of its members. In a caption of an Instagram post, the group's page said: Were proud of this Sunrise volunteer who took action yesterday. The New York Times said the protester, Henry Elgie, a 19-year-old student at Bowdoin College in Maine, told the newspaper in an interview Saturday that he had zero coordination with Jackson's campaign. I do not know Troy Jackson personally or at all, he was quoted as saying. The Sunrise Movement is a left-wing political advocacy organization that champions the Green New Deal, aimed at transitioning the U.S. economy to 100% renewable energy. The group, which has local arms around the country, regularly organizes protests, sit-ins and climate strikes. Jackson told CNN that he shook hands with Collins after each of their debates. But what Im not going to be is talked down to by Sen. Collins, he said. He added: Im fighting for Mainers and I just think that was another situation where she was talking down to me and Im not going to apologize for that. Collins told Fox News Sean Hannity on Friday that she was struck by how reflective the response, Oh, shut up, was. Collins said the fact that it seemed like such an automatic, quick reply was very telling. She cited what she said was the reputation that Jackson had in the Legislature particularly when hes dealing with women with whom he disagrees. So in some ways it didnt surprise me. Some state lawmakers who worked with Jackson have criticized him as having a temper, including once throwing a plastic water bottle on the ground in frustration while disagreeing with a female lawmaker. Asked by reporters during the campaign about the confrontations, Jackson said, I wear my heart on my sleeve. He took responsibility for his outburst and apologized to those he had confrontations with at the time. Jackson was asked on CNN about some Republicans who are saying there were stories that he was aggressive in his tone to women from his time in the Legislature and that his remark Thursday night was another example of that. Jackson said some Republicans have been spending millions attacking me and my family, making untrue claims. So it doesnt surprise me.

Over 2,000 arrested during protests across France
Digital Desk | Paris, Oct 18 (IANS) More than 2,000 people have been arrested during violent protests across France on Saturday, French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said Sunday. In a post on social media platform X, Nunez said that protests in some cities continued late into Saturday night, adding that investigations were underway to identify the perpetrators of the violent acts and bring them to justice. More than 600 police officers, gendarmes and firefighters have been injured in the violence so far, he said, citing provisional figures, Xinhua News Agency reported. Material damage was considerable, affecting several hundred businesses, he said. Demonstrating is a fundamental right. Causing disorder through coordinated violence is not, Nunez said. Around 550,000 people took part in protests across France on Saturday. Numerous attacks on public buildings, police stations and businesses were reported during the demonstrations. Violent clashes erupted between police and protesters in Paris and other parts of France on Saturday on the sidelines of the nationwide marches against rising inflation, with protesters setting fire to many places and looters breaking into dozens of shops to strip them bare. The unrest comes after weeks of student protests. Tens of thousands marched across the east and north of Paris in one major march on Saturday. Protesters shouted slogans like Everyone hates the police and Macron, resign. Protesters set fire to a tourist office in the city centre in Lyon and broke into town halls in the cities of Marseille and Lille, where they vandalised the premises before leaving, France 24 reported. Dozens of shops were looted, including many in Marseille. Over 300 protesters tried to move up towards Paris's Champs-Elysees, which has several flagship luxury stores. Protesters shouted all cops are bastards as police fired tear gas, blocking the way of protesters.

'NETANYAHU HAS FAILED ISRAEL!': Massive Protests Erupt Against Bibi Over War And Election Anger
Israeli protesters have returned to the streets of Tel Aviv less than two weeks before the October 27 election, demanding accountability from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the Gaza war, the occupation and the security failures surrounding the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attack. Demonstrators gathered at Habima Square carrying Israeli flags and anti-war placards. Protester Iris Shmueli said Netanyahu has failed in his role all along the way, accusing the prime minister of taking credit for successes while distancing himself from failures. The demonstrations also focused on settler violence and demands for an end to the fighting in Gaza. An October 14 Israel Democracy Institute survey found that establishing a state commission of inquiry into October 7 was among the leading priorities identified by Jewish Israeli respondents, alongside military conscription. For demonstrators, the approaching election is becoming an opportunity to demand answers over both the war and the failures that preceded it.
Trouble Moves Closer To Americas Gulf Partner As New Security Alarm Erupts Near UAE | WATCH
A commercial tugboat has been struck by two unidentified projectiles near the United Arab Emirates as military tensions around the Strait of Hormuz continue to affect shipping close to Americas Gulf partners. UK Maritime Trade Operations says the vessel sustained damage but remained underway and continued its voyage through Hormuz. Authorities are investigating, and no attacker has been identified. The incident follows a series of attacks on commercial vessels across the region; UKMTO has documented repeated strikes by unidentified projectiles in and around Hormuz this month. At the same time, US Marines have been conducting training with Emirati forces. The UAE sits opposite Iran across the Gulf, hosts American military personnel and maintains close defence ties with Washington. Tehran has warned that US forces and regional military infrastructure could face retaliation in another conflict, placing growing attention on the proximity between commercial shipping, Gulf territory and American military activity.
