Four soldiers were killed and dozens injured in a fire at a military base in Alberta province, one of the worst peacetime tragedies to hit Canada's armed forces on home soil, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Sunday.

Delano D'Souza is pleased to welcome Peter Zalmayev, Founder and Director of the Eurasia Democracy Initiative, LIVE from Kyiv. As Zelensky declares Ukraine "done" with Trump's self-declared energy ceasefire and resumes strikes on Russian oil refineries, Zalmayev warns: "When you talk about the energy ceasefire, it presupposes two to be able to tango and to dance this dance." He challenges the legitimacy of Trump's unilateral announcement, made without agreement between Moscow and Kyiv, as Russia continues attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Yet he cautions that Zelensky may need tactical restraint to preserve vital US support. Zalmayev also examines Western sanctions, frozen Russian assets, and Washington's pursuit of economic normalization with Moscow without meaningful Russian concessions.

In Georgia, Democrat Jon Ossoff’s seat is one of the key contests in the US mid-term elections on 3 November. In this state, which was won by Donald Trump in 2024, the incumbent senator is facing Republican Mike Collins. Our reporter Leela Jacinto visited Manuel’s Tavern, a historic bar in Atlanta that has been frequented for decades by Democratic politicians. There, patrons watched the debate between the two candidates.

US President Donald Trump's administration has asked his ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign, the White House said Tuesday, amid allegations that she sought money from a Trump supporter and accepted lavish hospitality from wealthy Greek businessmen. FRANCE 24's Fraser Jackson reports from Washington.

Thousands of young Brazilians have taken to the streets to support President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and voice fears of a return to power for the Bolsonaro political movement, amid a closely watched presidential race. Many protesters say they are worried about their future, particularly the impact a far-right government could have on universities and education. FRANCE 24’s Jan Onoszko reports from Brazil.

Donald Trump’s plan to import Russian diesel despite Western sanctions has sparked fierce criticism in Washington, including from Republicans, as high fuel prices and the upcoming midterm elections put pressure on his administration. His approach to the Ukraine war has also drawn controversy, with calls for Kyiv to hold elections and claims of an energy ceasefire announced without clear agreement from the parties involved. FRANCE 24's Douglas Herbert has the analysis.

Two American economists, Robert E. Hall of Stanford University and Michael Woodford of Columbia University, have won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for their work on economic stabilisation. Their research helps policymakers and central banks better understand economic fluctuations, manage recessions and inflation, and account for public expectations when shaping economic policy. The prize money, worth around $1.2 million, will be shared equally between the two laureates.

US authorities raided the Washington home of Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar on Monday as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged immigration fraud, according to reports. The probe reportedly includes immigration paperwork completed by her late father when she was a child. Omar accused the Trump administration of using government institutions to target political opponents, describing the raid as an act of political intimidation. FRANCE 24's Fraser Jackson has the latest from Washington.

On January 30, 2026, the US Justice Department released 3 million documents. Photos, videos, emails, text messages, court records... All connected to one man: Jeffrey Epstein. Since then, media outlets around the world have brought to light the vast amount of people that appear in the Epstein files. Eight months on, what what do these revelations tell us about Jeffrey Epstein’s network? How did it operate? FRANCE 24 journalist Ava Luquet spent months digging through the files. In this video, she takes a closer look at what they reveal about the predator’s network and its inner workings.

The first US military execution in more than 65 years will be livestreamed, announced the Pentagon on Thursday, after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said it would be "public". Former Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan opened fire at Fort Hood in Texas in 2009, killing 13 people. His execution will take place at the military base on December 3, 2026.  "The livestreaming of an execution is tantamount to a public execution and would breach the absolute prohibition of torture," the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights said on Friday.

A wave of videos is spreading across social media under the hashtag #IAmJaneDoe to express solidarity with an anonymous Cornell University student who alleges she was sexually assaulted by several members of a fraternity in 2024.

Jean-Emile Jammine is pleased to welcome Reed Brody, international human rights lawyer and former New York assistant attorney general. According to Brody, the botched execution of Christa Pike reflects a much larger problem: the relationship between capital punishment, institutional failure, due process, and human dignity. The technical failure of lethal injection exposes weaknesses throughout the legal architecture surrounding the death penalty, from the quality and adequacy of defense representation to the profound disparities between jurisdictions and the difficulties states face in administering executions. 

Senator Flavio Bolsonaro received on Monday endorsements ​from Ronaldo Caiado and Romeu Zema, two right-wing politicians who ran against him in Sunday's first-round vote, ​for ‌the runoff against President Luiz ⁠Inacio Lula da Silva later this month. Speaking with FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney, Anthony Pereira, Executive Director of the Stone Center for Latin American Studies at Tulane University, says that "Lula's path to victory lies in mobilising voters who didn't vote in the first round" while Flavio Bolsonaro "will probably benefit from the voters who voted for other right-wing candidates and who will simply migrate to him, so it looks a lot easier for Flavio to win the second round than it does for Lula".

Quebec separatists eyed a return to power in Canada's majority French-speaking province Monday in an election that could test Prime Minister Mark Carney's message of national unity to confront the United States. Carney is popular in Quebec, and the possible success of the separatist Parti Quebecois (PQ) is not seen as a repudiation of his stance toward President Donald Trump, whose trade war and annexation threats have infuriated Canadians. FRANCE 24's Christopher Guly reports from Ottawa.

Conservative Senator Flavio Bolsonaro pulled off a surprise on Sunday in the first round of Brazil’s presidential election by finishing ahead of the incumbent left-wing President Lula, whom he will face in the runoff on October 25. Suspicions of U.S. interference have been hanging over the campaign, even as Donald Trump has never hidden his closeness to the far-right former president Bolsonaro - Flavio’s father - and his animosity toward Lula da Silva. FRANCE 24's Emerald Maxwell reports.

Eve Irvine is pleased to welcome Felipe Krause, the head of Oxford University's Brazilian Studies Programme. Brazil's election reflects a political landscape that has become increasingly polarized, explains Krause. And he describes the current mood as one of “tired polarization: People are just exhausted. They feel that the political class is just kind of offering more of the same". The first round reveals a significant consolidation of the Brazilian right in government. Brazil's expanding middle class is increasingly attracted to entrepreneurialism and individualism, constituencies that "Bolsonarismo" has proved particularly effective at reaching.

Brazilians began casting their votes on Sunday in a closely watch presidential election pitting incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva against right-wing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro. Nearly 160 million voters will also pick lawmakers, senators and governors in an election that will determine whether Latin America's biggest nation follows a regional swing to the right championed by US President Donald Trump. France24 International affairs commentator Douglas Herbert shares further insights.

Brazilians began casting their votes on Sunday in a closely watch presidential election pitting incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva against right-wing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro. Mara Nogueira, Senior Lecturer in Urban Geography at Birbeck, University of London, says the tight race reflects the consolidation of two political camps, with many Brazilians voting not out of support for a candidate, but to keep the other out of power. She points to the cost of living, religion and social media echo chambers as key factors shaping the vote, alongside a major banking scandal that has so far had limited impact on Flavio Bolsonaro’s campaign.

Twelve candidates are on the ballot, but the presidential race is centred on two rivals: President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Flavio Bolsonaro. Lula is seeking a fourth and final term, warning that Brazil’s sovereignty is at stake amid pressure from Donald Trump. Bolsonaro, meanwhile, has highlighted his ties to the White House, saying Brazil needs better deals with the US, including over its rare mineral resources. Nick Rushworth has more on the controversial senator. Dr Andrea Aruska de Souza Santos, Director of King's College Brazil Institute in London, shares further insights.
