"Citizens in Tegucigalpa sharply criticised US President Donald Trump on Friday for endorsing conservative National Party candidate Nasry Asfura, accusing him of trying to directly influence Honduras' election ahead of Sunday's vote. Trump sparked controversy by openly backing conservative candidate Nasry 'Tito' Asfura and vowing to pardon former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who is serving a 45-year US sentence for drug trafficking. "I consider that one should not go around meddling in the will of the people; everyone knows who they are going to give their vote to, but one cannot go around saying that, because that is a form of interference -meddling in the affairs of the country. And even worse, taking the side of a candidate, he [Trump] must be neutral," said a Tegucigalpa resident. "They [the Americans] absolutely have nothing to do with this country. We are the ones who have to decide, we Hondurans. Not them. They have to look after their own country. [...] So if he is saying that they should vote for 'Papi a la Orden' [Nasry Asfura], he is not the one who rules in our country," said another local. In a post on Truth Social, Trump also warned that US aid could be cut if Asfura loses, claiming Honduras would fall to 'communists' tied to Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro. A Honduran resident said the United States has 'always intervened' in the country's affairs, noting that US military forces continue to operate out of the La Palmerola air base in Comayagua. "The United States has always done it. I mean, they have always done it in different ways, the fact that now they are doing it more publicly [is another matter]. But they have always been here, here is Palmerola [military base], which has belonged to the United States," she said. More than 6.3 million Hondurans are set to vote on November 30 to choose the country's next president, with ruling-party candidate Rixi Moncada and opposition contenders Nasry Asfura and Salvador Nasralla leading in the latest polls. Voters will also select 128 members of the National Congress, 20 deputies to the Central American Parliament, and a wide slate of local authorities."

"Protesters marched along London's Bond Street on Friday, accusing major luxury brands of complicity in human rights abuses and resource exploitation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Footage shows demonstrators waving Congolese flags and rallying outside Cartier, Apple, Tiffany & Co. and Pandora, holding placards and banners reading 'Stop exploitation of Congo, Sudan and Palestine. Shop ethically', 'Justice for the DRC, 'Blood on your hands!' and 'Apple, what's inside my phone?' "We are here, outside, protesting a different variety of shops that have all committed to funding a genocide, so here we are outside Tiffany and Co, who are stealing mines for jewellery in Congo," explained a protester, adding, "We have to start up against this. This is not right." "So many innocent civilians have been killed in Congo by the rebels and the complicity of the governments. So we have to make these people aware of what has happened," he persisted, linking the violence to global demand for Congo's illicitly extracted minerals. It comes after the Congolese government and the Congo River Alliance, including the M23, endorsed the Doha Framework for Peace in Qatar on November 15 – a nonbinding plan proposing renewed talks on state authority, governance and disarmament as groundwork for a broader peace deal. The agreements follow years of conflict in North and South Kivu, forcing around 7 million residents to flee. DRC has consistently accused Rwanda of backing the M23 armed group – allegations that Kigali firmly denies."

"At least 35 flights were canceled at Paris Charles de Gaulle on Friday, causing major disruption after European aviation giant Airbus recalled a 'significant number' of in-service A320 family aircraft. "A recent event involving an A320 Family aircraft has revealed that intense solar radiation may corrupt data critical to the functioning of flight controls," Airbus said in its statement. The company said it 'proactively' worked with the aviation authorities to request ‘immediate precautionary action’ to 'implement the available software and/or hardware protection.' According to media reports, the alert was issued after a JetBlue flight en route to Newark, New Jersey, from Mexico's Cancun made an emergency landing in Florida following a sudden altitude drop on October 30."

"Peru's Foreign Minister Hugo de Zela announced that the government will 'strictly apply Peruvian laws' and declare a state of emergency in the southern region of Tacna to curb irregular migration across the border with Chile while speaking at a press conference in Lima on Friday. "The government's policy is that we will not allow irregular migration. [...] We do not have the conditions or the capacity to receive more migrants. Our capacities are already full, and we have, as everyone knows, several hundreds of thousands, millions of migrants, and we are no longer in a position to keep receiving more," he stated. The foreign minister also indicated that contact has been made with the authorities of the Government of Chile, with whom they hope to work in cooperation to address the increase in the migratory flow between both countries. "We believe that this issue must be addressed in cooperation between the two countries and, consequently, I can announce that we have decided to establish a Binational Committee for Migration Cooperation," he persisted. "That will allow us to immediately increase the police and military presence in the area, especially in the border zone," he elaborated ahead of an Extraordinary Council of Ministers meeting to approve the state of emergency in Tacna. Peruvian President Jose Jeri confirmed the plan on his X (formerly Twitter) account, noting that "it will be the first of our borders to be declared in a state of emergency due to irregular migration and citizen security." The flow of people between Peru and Chile increased following remarks by Chilean presidential candidate Jose Antonio Kast, who pledged to expel foreigners in irregular situations if elected. "

"The grandson of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte denounced the International Criminal Court's decision as 'unfair' after it rejected the ex-leader's bid for provisional release on Friday. Footage shows Duterte's supporters praying for the former leader outside the ICC. The crowd can later be seen embracing each other as some broke out in tears following the verdict. "It's a highly politicised decision," Omar Duterte claimed. "It's not fair to me, it's not fair to him. He's 80-years-old. He has maybe maximum five to seven years left. He's better off spending that time with his family." The defence team sought his release on humanitarian grounds, citing age, poor health and diminished cognition. The Court rejected the appeal on all three grounds, citing a 'risk of flight.' "He's 80 years old. He's very frail. His mental health is not there anymore, not what it used to be, so I'm very sad with the decision of the appeal court, but I trust the legal defence team. They know what to do," Duterte's grandson commented. As families of victims of extrajudicial killings celebrated the Court's ruling, Duterte's supporters claim it was unjust, vowing to continue their demonstrations in the days ahead. "It's a sad decision that we have today. I do not agree with the accusations," said one supporter. "This will not be the end for us. We will just still continue to support him no matter what." Duterte, who served as president from 2016 to 2022, was arrested and transferred to ICC custody in March on charges of crimes against humanity. The charges relate to his administration's 'War on Drugs' campaign, during which thousands of alleged drug dealers and users were reported killed in operations. His presidency remains one of the most divisive in Philippine history, with backers crediting him for reducing crime and critics blaming him for widespread extrajudicial killings."

"Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of Bologna on Friday as trade and labour unions launched a nationwide strike to protest the Italian government's 2026 budget proposal, accusing authorities of prioritising military spending over wages, social welfare, and public services. Footage shows protesters marching through the city centre with banners reading 'No to the war budget; for wages, peace, and social justice', igniting smoke flares, chanting, and dancing as police monitor the demonstration. "We want to strongly denounce what has happened in recent weeks in many Italian cities, where workers have been dismissed using the so-called 'trolley test'. Among others, a trade union representative from the Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) at the Rome store has also been dismissed," a demonstrator proclaimed. Speakers at the rally also stressed the need to prioritise public services and social protections over rearmament. "We repeatedly need funds for welfare, public health, the right to housing and education," one asserted. "While we see resources being diverted towards rearmament and increased military spending, wages must be increased, and prices must be curbed due to the high cost of living paid by pensioners, the unemployed and workers," he persisted. Marches in Bologna were among over 50 similar rallies across the country, with organisers warning of significant traffic disruptions. The 2026 budget strikes come amid rising inflation, persistent wage stagnation, and ongoing debates over Italy's role in international military commitments."
