#news #debate - Trump Vs Zelensky, From the Screen to the Streets, Gen Z protests from Paris to Dehli • FRANCE 24

16 October 2026

In India, the Cockroach movement felt the crushing boot of the state this week. Thousands of Gen Z protesters were rounded up and detained in sports stadiums and community halls turned into makeshift detention centres, while the movement’s founder, Abhijeet Dipke, was arrested on arrival. A mass demonstration over alleged voter fraud was effectively crushed before it could begin.And Abdijeet has been detained again today

Narendra Modi’s government says the measures were necessary to protect civilians in the capital. But he now faces accusations of choosing repression over democracy, with the UN Human Rights Office urging authorities to respect the right to peaceful assembly.  It’s been a week of blame games and accusations of betrayal in Ukraine with President Zelensky speaking of his personal hurt at President Trump’s decision to make a diesel deal with the Kremlin ahead of the US Mid term elections calling it “weak”, suggesting Trump had chosen, “the other side”. Trump meanwhile made clear he wants Zelensky replaced, and warned him against striking Russian refineries AND announced an energy ceasefire, declaring it to have been agreed by both sides but which went nowhere. President Zelensky continued to search for solidarity and a solution in Europe.

#Ukraine #Trump #News - White House ordered Starlink limits on Ukraine’s military: Reuters

18 October 2026

The worst crisis in US-Ukraine relations since last year’s Oval Office meltdown is deteriorating further over a dispute about who ordered a disruption to a critical Ukrainian military system running on Elon Musk’s Starlink internet service. Reuters reports that the order to limit the Ukrainian military's use of the SpaceX Starshield system came from inside the White House, citing two US officials and a Western official briefed on the matter. Ukrainian generals were shocked by the limits on the Starshield system, which is owned and controlled by the US government. The restrictions effectively limited the speed of Ukrainian military hardware, including drones, and reduced the military’s capacity to communicate and to operate war planes and helicopters. These curbs amounted to a significant military advantage to Russia’s forces on the battlefield. 0:00 Reuters: Order to limit Starshield for Ukraine came from inside White House 0:35 CNN political & national security analyst David Sanger unpacks the situation 3:21 Sanger: Trump "has gravitated toward Putin" every moment since taking office 5:29 CNN national security analyst Beth Sanner & journalist Jeff Mason on Starshield report 7:50 Zelensky praises "real leaders" in Europe amid rift with Trump

15 October 2026

Turkey's biggest pro-opposition, anti-establishment news channel has been raided and taken over by the government. Halk TV was the last mainstream media outlet critical of president Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Justice and Development Party (AKP).

Turkiye's opposition has condemned the takeover of Halk TV, and journalists say that the country's democracy is being destroyed.

Firstpost looks at how Erdogan managed to get the critical news channel taken over. Hem Kaur Saroya also explains how the Turkish government has been capturing both the media and the opposition itself. HKS also examines the state of democracy in Erdogan's Turkey today. 00:00 - Erdogan Takes Over Pro-Opposition Halk TV 00:56 - Dawn Police Raid Halts Broadcast Ahead of Trial 01:36 - Channel Owner's Family Detained 02:14 - Press Freedom Blow: Journalists & Opposition Protest 03:07 - Capturing the Opposition: Defections to Erdogan's Party 03:46 - Izmir Mayor Defects to the Ruling AKP 04:09 - Backlash & Protests Against Usurped Rights 04:59 - Outro --- Turkey Media | Recep Tayyip Erdogan | Turkish Government | Opposition News Channel | Media Takeover | Firstpost | Hem Saroya | Vantage #turkey #erdogan #pressfreedom #mediacensorship #turkishpolitics #mediafreedom #opposition #firstpost #vantageonfirstpost
