FSC has published guidance dealing with the UK law criminalizing certain choking, roleplay and age play content. While more detailed regulatory guidance is still expected from organizations like Ofcom, the law officially goes into effect November 6. buff.ly/5a28Rwr

It’s her little shoes with perfectly tied laces by a mother who loved her that gets me. Now they’re both gone.
A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children. I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

I thank @GiorgiaMeloni for the support and a clear, unequivocal, principled stance. Thank you for understanding who the aggressor is and what it means to build a dignified and lasting peace. This is possible only through strength and joint efforts for our security.

Claims that Ukrainian strikes on Yandex data centres reduced Russia-linked bot networks have spread widely online and were repeated by President Zelensky, but experts have told BBC Verify there is no evidence the attacks have significantly reduced them. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9y7…

A Ukrainian soldier went to war because he wanted a future for his daughters in Ukraine. He was deployed to Donetsk region when a Russian glide bomb found his family at home in Sumy, as they walked back from the park. nytimes.com/2026/10/13/world…

1/ In September 🇹🇷 ordered @X to block at least 1,270 accounts with 35 million followers in total. X complied with some 90% of the orders and many are still invisible there. They include independent newsrooms, women's groups and the LGBTQ+ group Kaos GL.

To those implying that Kremlin-controlled social media bot/troll farms became silent after Ukraine hit a Yandex data center, posting this CloudFare chart (radar.cloudflare.com/bots/as…): Hate to disappoint you all ⤵️

Starlink is not used in Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries because it doesn’t work above Russia. If Elon Musk decides to signal his dislike of Zelensky by turning off Starlink, it will lead to many thousands more Ukrainian deaths on the frontline, will severely damage the SpaceX brand internationally (countries will know they can’t rely on it in times of real crisis), but will have zero effect on Ukrainian strikes against the Russian oil and gas industry. It will also not end the war.

I find it only right that the words "betrayal" and "blood money" feature right at the start of tonight's edition of the PM programme. Listen to my interview below: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0032ql…

From carrying symbolic daggers to painstakingly writing the "banzuke" by hand, sumo's referees inhabit a world every bit as steeped in tradition as that of the wrestlers they officiate. 👉 ebx.sh/wgKU9T
