Pakistan–Afghanistan peace talks in Istanbul collapse with no agreement as border tensions rise
ISLAMABAD — High-stakes peace talks between Pakistan and Afghanistan ended without agreement, officials said Saturday, with both sides trading blame for the failure of negotiations aimed at easing escalating border clashes and preserving a fragile ceasefire. The two-day talks in Istanbul — mediated by Turkey and Qatar — marked the third round of diplomacy since the Taliban seized power in 2021 and were widely viewed as a key effort to halt weeks of violence. The discussions stalled late Friday with “no tangible progress,” officials said. Afghan government spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid accused Pakistan of making “unreasonable” demands, saying negotiations “could not proceed” and were now “at a standstill.” Speaking in Kandahar, Mujahid said Afghanistan did not seek...

France’s ex-president Sarkozy may be freed from prison after only 20 days
PARIS — A Paris court will rule Monday on whether to release former French President Nicolas Sarkozy from prison, just 20 days after he was incarcerated following his conviction for criminal conspiracy in a scheme linked to Libyan financing of his 2007 presidential campaign. Sarkozy, 70, became the first former president in modern French history to serve actual prison time when he was taken into custody on Oct. 21. He was sentenced on Sept. 25 to five years in prison, though his legal team is appealing the verdict and has filed for early release. Monday’s hearing will determine whether Sarkozy qualifies for conditional release under Article 144 of the French criminal code, which states that pre-appeal release should be the norm unless there is a risk of flight, witness tampering, or...

Ukrainian strikes hit Russian energy systems in Voronezh and Belgorod, officials say
KYIV — Nighttime Ukrainian strikes disrupted power and heating in two major Russian cities near the Ukrainian border, local Russian officials said Sunday, as both countries continue near-daily attacks on each other’s energy infrastructure amid stalled diplomatic efforts. In Voronezh, a drone strike triggered temporary blackouts and cut heating to parts of the city, regional Gov. Alexander Gusev said. Several drones were electronically jammed, but one sparked a fire at a utility facility that was quickly extinguished. Russian and Ukrainian Telegram channels reported that a thermal power plant was targeted. Late Saturday, a missile strike caused “serious damage” to power and heating systems serving the city of Belgorod, Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov said. About 20,000 households were...

Eight Palestinians injured in attacks by Israeli settlers in West Bank and East Jerusalem
RAMALLAH — Eight Palestinians were injured Sunday in a series of assaults by illegal Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, according to local rights groups and residents.

Iraq begins special voting for security forces and displaced citizens ahead of elections
BAGHDAD — Iraq launched its special voting process on Sunday, allowing more than one million military personnel and thousands of internally displaced citizens to cast ballots ahead of the country’s parliamentary elections. Polling stations opened at 7 a.m. local time (0400 GMT) and will operate until 6 p.m. (1500 GMT). The Iraqi News Agency (INA) said more than 1.3 million members of the army and security forces are eligible to vote across 809 polling centers containing 4,501 stations nationwide.

LA PAZ, Bolivia — Rodrigo Paz, the center-right candidate who won Bolivia’s presidential runoff on Oct. 19, was sworn in Saturday before parliament to begin his 2025–2030 term, ending two decades of rule by the Movement for Socialism (MAS). Paz received the presidential sash during a ceremony in Congress in the administrative capital of La Paz.

We are saying enough to ideologies that can no longer put food on the table.” Paz also accused...
