Hundreds of Muslims shut down central London after gathering to protest Israel’s supposed involvement in the explosion at the al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City on Tuesday evening, which is now believed to have been caused by Hamas in a botched rocket launch attempt.
The gathering took place in front of Downing Street – home of the British Prime Minister – and stretched almost the entirety of Whitehall, the United Kingdom’s political quarter, situated yards from the Houses of Parliament.

Those in attendance demanded an end to the “massacre” of Palestinians and accused Israel of genocide, while waving Palestinian flags. Others sang, “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” The crowd, predominantly comprised of young men, also stopped to pray, being led by an Imam who repeatedly chanted “Allah hu Akbar”.
One protestor, who claimed to be half-Palestinian, explained, “We are here to mourn everyone who has died in the last week, and since the beginning of the [Israeli] occupation.”
Similar events have occurred across Europe after Hamas’ violent incursion into Israel earlier this month, with many, such as in the German capital of Berlin, becoming violent and targeting local Jewish residents.

📍WHEN & WHERE: October 5, at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle during the annual “Red Mass;” further information reported on October 8.
💬KEY QUOTE: “You might want to stay back and call the federales, I have explosives,” Geri told police, according to an affidavit.
🎯IMPACT: The incident highlights ongoing security threats against the Supreme Court and religious institutions, raising concerns about domestic terrorism.
IN FULL
Police have discovered over 200 explosive devices in the tent of a man arrested outside the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle on October 5. The man also allegedly wrote a far-left manifesto expressing hostility toward the Supreme Court, the Roman Catholic Church, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and other institutions. The incident occurred during the annual “Red Mass,” traditionally attended by Supreme Court justices to mark the start of the judicial term. This year, no justices attended due to heightened security concerns.
The suspect, identified as 41-year-old Louis Geri of Vineland, New Jersey, was living in a motel in Mesa, Arizona, prior to the incident. Police found him camped in a tent on the church steps. When approached, he warned officers, “You might want to stay back and call the federales, I have explosives.” He later threatened, “Do you want me to throw one out, I’ll test one out on the streets? I have a hundred-plus of them,” threatening that “Several of your people are gonna die from one of these.”
Officers arrested Geri after he exited his tent to urinate. A vial containing yellow liquid with an attached explosive device was found in his pocket. A search of the tent uncovered over 200 additional devices, some containing nitromethane, a volatile chemical commonly associated with high-powered explosives. Investigators reported that the devices included modified grenades and bottle rockets equipped with aluminum foil and rubber-band secured fuses. Geri also had a butane lighter on him at the time of arrest.
According to court documents, Geri handed police a notebook titled “Written Negotiations for the Avoidance of Destruction of Property via Detonation of Explosives.” Law enforcement said the manifesto revealed “significant animosity towards the Catholic church, members of the Jewish faith, members of SCOTUS, and ICE facilities.” In a jailhouse interview, Geri described his devices as grenades and remotely detonated rockets.
He is currently being held without bond and faces multiple federal charges, including possession and manufacture of destructive devices, making threats to injure, and committing a hate crime with weapons of mass destruction.
This arrest comes amid growing concerns over politically motivated violence, with pro-illegal immigration gunmen targeting ICE in multiple incidents and conservative youth organizer Charlie Kirk being publicly assassinated, allegedly by a leftist with a transgender lover.
❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Senate is set to vote on legislation aimed at limiting President Donald J. Trump’s ability to use military force against drug cartels, focusing on recent strikes against Venezuelan drug traffickers in the Caribbean.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The vote is set to take place on Wednesday in the U.S. Senate at 6:45 PM, following recent military actions in the Caribbean.
💬KEY QUOTE: “It sends a message when a significant number of legislators say, ‘Hey, this is a bad idea,’” said Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA).
🎯IMPACT: The legislation seeks to reassert congressional authority over war powers, but the White House has indicated President Trump would veto the measure if passed.
IN FULL
The Senate will vote Wednesday evening at 6:45 PM on a resolution aimed at restricting President Donald J. Trump‘s ability to conduct military strikes against drug cartels without congressional authorization. This comes after the U.S. military carried out four strikes on vessels used by Venezuelan drug traffickers in the Caribbean, resulting in 21 deaths and the interception of narcotics.
The Trump White House has argued that drug cartels are armed combatants posing a threat to the U.S., justifying military action under presidential war powers. However, some lawmakers, including Democrats and a few Republicans, question the legal basis for the strikes.
Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA) and Adam Schiff (D-CA) led the push for the resolution, citing concerns about the precedent such actions could set. “This is the kind of thing that leads a country, unexpectedly and unintentionally, into war,” Schiff warned. The resolution, brought under the War Powers Resolution of 1973, would bar further military strikes unless Congress explicitly authorized them.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was the only Republican to cosponsor the resolution ahead of the vote, although others, such as Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND), expressed concerns about an alleged lack of detailed information from the administration. Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD), however, defended the President’s actions, stating, “I’m going to vote no when the President is exercising his constitutional responsibility.”
The White House has already indicated that President Trump would veto the resolution if it passed. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also urged senators to oppose the legislation, emphasizing the threat posed by drug cartels to U.S. safety and security.
Despite the support from Sen. Paul, the Democrat-backed resolution is still expected to fall short of the votes needed to pass.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: James Comey, WarRoomhost and former Trump White House Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon, Trump advisor Peter Navarro, and legal analysts, including Andrew McCarthy.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Wednesday, following court proceedings involving Comey.
💬KEY QUOTE: “They slipped Comey in through another entrance, so he didn’t have to come through here. This is bulls**t.” – Stephen K. Bannon
🎯IMPACT: The disparity in treatment highlighted by Bannon raises questions about fairness and impartiality within the justice system.
IN FULL
WarRoom host and former Trump White House Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon criticized the preferential treatment of former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey. Speaking outside the courthouse, Bannon expressed frustration that Comey was allowed to enter the building through a private entrance, avoiding the “perp walk” and associated public and media attention that he and other Trump allies were subjected to during the Joe Biden-era lawfare campaign against President Donald J. Trump and his associates.
“They slipped Comey in through another entrance, so he didn’t have to come through here. This is bulls**t,” Bannon said. “Why is Comey not coming in from outside like everybody has to? There’s no way of taking you below a thing, and I don’t wanna hear ‘security.’ You don’t think there was higher security at taking out Steve Bannon or Peter Navarro, right, than James Comey?” he demanded.
Bannon, who served a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress, was clear that he had no issue with being “perp walked” during his case. “I proudly walked in there because I was proud of what I did, and I’m not gonna have the media… But they try to sit there and psychologically break you, so they got that image of you walking to court the entire time,” he explained.
“They allowed Comey to do something they didn’t allow anybody else to do. This is the problem. The problem is the system is rigged on this guy’s side, OK? It’s got to stop. Is Comey gonna be shackled? Is Comey gonna be strip-searched? … Comey’s there for felonies,” Bannon stressed.
Comey has pleaded not guilty to charges of making a false statement to Congress and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. The Trump Justice Department has opened a grand jury investigation into the origins of the Russiagate hoax more broadly, reportedly focused on whether prior probes into alleged ties between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia were politically motivated or improperly conducted.
BANNON: The media was told James Comey would speak in front of the courthouse before his arraignment, but no. He just slipped in, like the rat he is.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Hawley made the demand during a Senate hearing with Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday and in subsequent media interviews.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Madam Attorney General, I think we need a special prosecutor to be appointed, whose sole responsibility will be to get to the bottom of what has happened in every instance I have just named. I think we need to know exactly who approved the wire taps on United States senators, who knew about it.” – Senator Josh Hawley
🎯IMPACT: Hawley called for a special prosecutor and public hearings to investigate alleged corruption within the FBI and DOJ.
IN FULL
U.S. Senator Josh Hawley is demanding that the Department of Justice (DOJ) appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the alleged misuse of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) resources by Jack Smith and others in the former Biden government to spy on Republican lawmakers as well as everyday Americans. During a Senate Judiciary Committee oversight hearing on Tuesday, Sen. Hawley pressed Attorney General Pam Bondi on appointing a special prosecutor, but received no firm commitment that it would happen.
“Madam Attorney General, I think we need a special prosecutor to be appointed, whose sole responsibility will be to get to the bottom of what has happened in every instance I have just named. I think we need to know exactly who approved the wire taps on United States senators, who knew about it,” Hawley said on Tuesday.
Here’s what we need a special prosecutor to find out:
– Who approved spying on sitting U.S. senators? – Who signed off on the Biden FBI’s anti-Catholic memo? – Who was behind the prosecution of Mark Houck?
The Missouri Republican reiterated his stance late Tuesday evening, while discussing the “Arctic Frost” scandal on television. “They lied about it. They tried to hide it. And then, as it turns out, they got wiretaps essentially on eight Republican senators,” Hawley said, adding that conservative organizations such as Turning Point USA (TPUSA) were also targeted.
When asked what information was obtained, Hawley explained, “They were able to get the list of incoming calls, outgoing calls, my location, when the calls were received, the duration of the calls, as well as metadata associated with the phone, and Jesse, that’s just what we know about for sure.” He further alleged that the surveillance was politically motivated and aimed at undermining President Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party.
Hawley called for decisive action, saying, “What needs to happen is we need a special prosecutor who’s going to go at this hard. We need to get all of the corruption uncovered. What we have here is rot that goes all through the FBI, that goes all through the DOJ.” He also called for public hearings and accountability for those involved, including figures like Jack Smith, former Attorney General Merrick Garland, and former FBI Director Christopher Wray.

President Donald J. Trump announced Wednesday afternoon that he will likely be heading to Egypt either Saturday evening or Sunday morning in anticipation of the peace talks between Israel and Hamas entering the final phase. “I may go there sometime toward the end of the week. Maybe on Sunday, actually,” President Trump said during White House event.
He continued: “And we’ll see, but there’s a very good chance. Negotiations are going along very well. We’re dealing with Hamas, and many of the countries, as you know, all of the Muslim countries are included, all of the Arab countries are included.” President Trump went on to suggest he may actually depart for Egypt on Saturday evening if talks continue to go well.
Trump’s commitment to a possible trip to Egypt at the end of this week suggests that serious breakthroughs have been made in the Israeli-Hamas peace negotiations.
The National Pulse reported earlier on Wednesday that U.S. negotiators, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, joined key participants, including Qatar‘s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani and Turkey’s intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin, in Egypt for the third day of indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas. Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi described the involvement of Kushner and Witkoff as “very encouraging,” emphasizing their strong mandate from Trump to bring an end to the conflict. Talks have focused on hostages, prisoner exchanges, and the phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.

💬KEY QUOTE: “We think the evidence is strong that most or all of the decline in the foreign-born population shown in the CPS is real and primarily reflects a reduction in new arrivals and, in particular, a large increase in emigration.” – Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler.
🎯IMPACT: Record-breaking reductions in illegalimmigration, with 1.6 million illegal aliens self-deporting and over 400,000 deported by ICE, alongside historic lows in border apprehensions.
IN FULL
The United States has seen a historic decline in its foreign-born population in the first seven months of President Donald J. Trump’s second term, due mainly to record-low rates of illegal border crossings and a significant number of foreign nationals choosing to return to their country of origin. The data comes from an analysis of the Current Population Survey (CPS) conducted by Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler of the Center for Immigration Studies.
According to the researchers, the foreign-born population has dropped by 2.2 million across the United States from January through August of this year. Importantly, the analysis sheds light on how effective the Trump administration’s increased interior immigration enforcement operations have been, finding that the illegal immigrant population has declined by 1.6 million over the eight-month period.
The Center for Immigration Studies researchers note that while some might attribute the CPS data analysis to a “a statistical fluke,” the plummeting foreign-born population is likely driven by record-low illegal immigration levels as well as self-deportations “We think the evidence is strong that most or all of the decline in the foreign-born population shown in the CPS is real and primarily reflects a reduction in new arrivals and, in particular, a large increase in emigration,” Camarota and Zeigler write.
In September, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that estimates suggest 1.6 million illegal immigrants have self-deported from the United States. Additionally, government data shows the Trump administration is on track to match or exceed the 300,000 peak annual deportations seen under former President Barack Obama—the most in a year in recent history. Some estimates place the total deportations by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at more than 400,000.
The National Pulse reported on Tuesday that illegal crossings at the U.S.–Mexico border have fallen to their lowest level in over 50 years. U.S. Border Patrol recorded approximately 238,000 apprehensions in fiscal year 2025, a dramatic decline from the 2.2 million reported in fiscal year 2022 during the Biden government.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Break up the MMR shot into three totally separate shots (not mixed!)” – President Trump
🎯IMPACT: Spreading out measles, mumps, and rubella vaccinations could reduce side effects and give children’s bodies more time to adjust to them, but the health establishment is complaining that it could disrupt adherence to immunization schedules and increase the risk of contracting one of the illnesses between shots.
IN FULL
Jim O’Neill, Acting Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is advocating for separating the MMR vaccine, which inoculates against measles, mumps, and rubella, into three separate doses. His stance echoes a social media post by President Donald J. Trump last month, when he wrote, “BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE [HEPATITIS] B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS!”
O’Neill has supported this view, stating, “Thank you POTUS for your leadership. I call on vaccine manufacturers to develop safe monovalent vaccines to replace the combined MMR.”
Introduced in 1971, the MMR vaccine, manufactured by Merck and GSK, combined three vaccines previously licensed in the 1960s, and has long been controversial, with skeptics linking it to autism. Andrew Nixon, Communications Director for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), noted, “Standalone vaccinations can potentially reduce the risk of side effects and can maximize parental choice in childhood immunizations.”

📍WHEN & WHERE: The warning was issued during a Wednesday meeting, with concerns spanning global markets, particularly the United States.
💬KEY QUOTE: “The risk of a sharp market correction has increased,” said the Bank of England’s financial policy committee, noting that “equity market valuations appear stretched, particularly for technology companies focused on artificial intelligence.”
🎯IMPACT: A potential AI bubble burst could destabilize the global economy, with AI spending now accounting for a significant portion of the U.S. GDP.
IN FULL
The Bank of England (BoE) is joining a growing number of financial sector voices warning that an artificial intelligence (AI) sector-fueled bubble is increasingly likely and could trigger a “sudden correction” in global financial markets. “The risk of a sharp market correction has increased,” said the Bank of England’s financial policy committee during a Wednesday meeting, warning that “equity market valuations appear stretched, particularly for technology companies focused on artificial intelligence.”
In recent weeks, financial analysts have grown more concerned about an AI bubble and subsequent burst. At least one analysis has found that the potential AI bubble could be 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble. Concerningly, the same data found that an AI bubble-fueled financial crisis could be four times worse than 2008’s Great Recession.
The National Pulse reported in late September that former Facebook executive Julie Zhou warned that much of the AI technology industry’s growth is not being driven by robust data-driven business strategies, but rather by “good instincts and good vibes.” Zhou argued that while the AI industry has tremendous promise, the technology is still far from achieving what many adherents claim. This has left the AI technology sector rife with speculative investment on a scale that could potentially threaten the U.S. economy should the bubble burst.
Zhou’s concerns have even been echoed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who has acknowledged that the AI sector’s revenue lags far behind expenses. Over 33 US-based AI startups raised $100 million or more in 2025 alone, though none have yet to turn a profit or demonstrate market viability. Many of these start-ups, along with more established companies, are reliant on technology from industry leaders like Nvidia—with the former making up nearly 10 percent of the S&P 500.
Even more troubling, a report by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers in August found that only five percent of AI pilot programs help businesses achieve “rapid revenue acceleration,” with the majority failing to deliver. Despite these concerns, generative AI now accounts for roughly 40 percent of the United States’ gross domestic product (GDP), making the economy heavily reliant on the industry’s stability.

The third day of indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas is taking place in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, with U.S. envoys and regional leaders working to finalize a peace deal under President Donald J. Trump‘s guidance. U.S. negotiators, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, joined key participants, including Qatar‘s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani and Turkey’s intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin.
Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi described the involvement of Kushner and Witkoff as “very encouraging,” emphasizing their strong mandate from Trump to bring an end to the conflict. Talks have focused on hostages, prisoner exchanges, and the phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
Notably, Hamas has submitted a list of Palestinian prisoners it wants released in exchange for hostages held in Gaza. The list includes prominent political figures and militants like Marwan Barghouti and Ahmad Saadat. Meanwhile, Israeli officials expressed “cautious optimism,” while Hamas representatives noted “necessary positivity” but acknowledged ongoing differences.
Trump struck a hopeful tone, stating, “I think there’s a possibility that we could have peace in the Middle East. It’s something even beyond the Gaza situation. We want a release of the hostages immediately.” Meanwhile, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan confirmed his government is pushing Hamas to accept the plan, while also urging pressure on Israel to halt its attacks.
As negotiations continue, the Israeli military appears to have scaled back its ground offensive in Gaza.

💬KEY QUOTE: “He says he’s coming to England and he’s going to shoot me.” – Nigel Farage
🎯IMPACT: The jury has been sent out to consider their verdicts after hearing arguments from both the prosecution and the defense.
IN FULL
Fayaz Khan, an Afghan illegal immigrant, is on trial at Southwark Crown Court accused of making a threat to kill Reform UK leader Nigel Farage in a TikTok video posted between October 12 and 15, 2022. Khan, who crossed the English Channel on a small boat and livestreamed his illegal journey, was arrested on October 31. He has denied the charge and has chosen not to testify during the proceedings.
Prosecutor Peter Ratliff told the court that the video was “sinister and menacing” and should be taken as a serious threat rather than a joke or casual remark. He pointed to Khan’s refusal to give evidence, saying, “The prosecution suggest this is because there is no sensible defense he could give to that video.” Ratliff also highlighted Khan’s apparent fascination with guns, including tattoos of AK-47 rifles on his body.
Farage gave evidence, describing the video as “pretty chilling.” He told the jury, “He says he’s coming to England and he’s going to shoot me,” and voiced concern over Khan’s apparent obsession with firearms. Jurors were shown the TikTok video in question, which included the caption “I mean what I say,” along with other similar videos featuring gestures and sounds interpreted as threatening.
In a police interview, Khan said the video was never meant as a threat, explaining, “It was just a video, it was never an intention to threaten him.” He claimed his behavior reflected his online persona and was not serious.
Defending Khan, barrister Charles Royle argued the video was not a genuine threat but part of Khan’s bizarre and exaggerated online behavior. He described Khan’s actions as “remonstrating in his own idiosyncratic, moronic, comedic, eye-catching, attention-seeking way,” and urged jurors not to judge his client based on his immigration status or AK-47 tattoos. Royle also reminded the jury that Khan’s decision not to testify should not be taken as an admission of guilt.
The case comes amid growing concern over political violence. Farage has faced a string of attacks in recent years. In June 2024, he was assaulted with what appeared to be cement during a campaign event in Barnsley. Earlier, a drink was thrown at him as he left a pub in Clacton, after a spate of similar incidents.
Despite the rise in threats, the Labour Party-led British government reportedly slashed Farage’s security funding by 75 percent in October 2025, shortly after U.S. conservative organizer Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
