Russia-Ukraine war live: Ukrainian general says fighting in north-east has ‘significantly worsened’
Oleksandr Syrskyi said Russian forces had regrouped after suffering losses Here’s a roundup of the key developments from the day so far: Fighting in Avdiivka on the eastern frontline enters a fifth day, as Russia continues to deploy new forces in an attempt to surround the city, according to Vitaliy Barabash, the head of its military administration. Russia’s defence ministry says its forces shot down two Ukrainian drones over the Black Sea near the southern resort city of Sochi on Saturday morning. The city’s mayor, Alexei Kopaigorodskyi, said there had been no casualties or damage and that the situation was under control. A top Ukraine general said fighting in the north-east had “significantly worsened” as daily Russian attacks continued. Russia has detained three lawyers of the jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny and raided their homes, aides said, a step that comes as pressure on the Kremlin’s critics increases. The move was an attempt to “completely isolate Navalny”, his ally Ivan Zhdanov said on social media. The US has claimed North Korea delivered more than 1,000 containers of military equipment and munitions to Russia for the war in Ukraine. The White House national security council spokesperson, John Kirby, said the US believed Kim Jong-un was seeking sophisticated Russian weapon technologies in return for munitions to boost North Korea’s nuclear programme. Vladimir Putin dismissed the idea that Russia damaged a gas pipeline between Finland and Estonia and suggested such claims were made up to divert attention from what he said was a western attack on Nord Stream. EU leaders meeting later in October will demand “decisive progress” on using Russian assets frozen by sanctions to help Ukraine, according to their draft statement. The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and the Dutch prime minister, Mark Rutte, while visiting the Black Sea port of Odesa on Friday, vowed to improve Ukraine’s air defences and to increase the security of a “humanitarian corridor” for grain exports.

Louvre in Paris evacuates staff and visitors after receiving written threat
Closure linked to decision to put France on high alert after fatal school stabbing by suspected extremist The Louvre in Paris is evacuating all visitors and staff and closing early on Saturday because it received a written threat. The museum said the move was linked to the government’s decision to put France on high alert after a fatal school stabbing by a suspected extremist. The Louvre communication service said no one had been hurt and no incident had been reported. Paris police said verifications were under way in the museum. Officers cordoned off the area as tourists and other visitors streamed out of the building. Continue reading... Sat, 14 Oct 2023 13:25:43 GMT

Australia rejects change to constitution in referendum – as it happened
All the day’s news as it came in from the voice referendum – this blog is now closed The prime minister is asked “what happens tomorrow?” after the vote. He says: A yes vote means we wake up like we did after the apology to the Stolen Generations, as a stronger country with a burden lifted from all of us, having shown respect for the First Australians and the great privilege that we have to share this continent with the oldest continuous culture on Earth. A simple request by the first Australians just to be heard, to have a voice, to be listened to about matters that affect them. A non-binding advisory committee. Nothing to fear here but everything to gain. I sincerely hope that Australians, when they walk into that ballot box today, vote yes – vote yes to accept this gracious invitation as the Uluru Statement from the Heart so eloquently says in its one page to overcome the torment of powerlessness that has led to an eight-year life expectancy gap, to a greater chance of an Indigenous young male going to jail than university, to an Indigenous young woman twice as likely to die in childbirth as a non-Indigenous woman. I tell you what division represents in this country – division is the division between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Continue reading... Sat, 14 Oct 2023 13:05:53 GMT

Day commemorating 1986 People Power Revolution omitted from official list of holidays for 2024 The Philippine president, Ferdinand Marcos Jr, has dropped a public holiday marking the anniversary of a revolution that toppled his dictator father, further fuelling concerns his family is seeking to “whitewash” history.

The Marcos family was forced to flee the country, and sought exile in Hawaii. Continue reading... Fri, 13 Oct 2023 11:20:09 GMT
