Election Day is here. Voters nationwide will decide control of the U.S. House and Senate. Democrats must flip four seats in the Senate and three seats in the House to wrest control of the chambers from Republicans. Control of Congress would give Democrats a way to push back against President Donald Trump's agenda during the final two years of his term. The battle for control is playing out mostly in states and districts Trump previously won by wide margins.

All eyes are on Senate contests in Alaska, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Ohio and Texas, while House battlegrounds are scattered across the country.

President Donald Trump says the U.S. will stop providing $4 billion in aid each year to Israel in 2027 but will sell arms to its closest ally in the Middle East.

The Republican president told Fox News Channel during a phone call on Tuesday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had approached him about the idea and that they have been talking about it for a couple years.

U.S. First Lady Melania Trump will host "representatives" of Russia and Ukraine in Washington, the White House said Tuesday, without specifying a date or offering further details about who may attend.

The meeting between parties from the two warring countries will take place at the White House and represents an "extraordinary moment in American history," the statement said.

Detentions, resignations, switching of sides, attempts to destroy evidence of wrongdoing.

News has been coming in at such a pace in the wake of former Serbian strongman Aleksandar Vucic's electoral defeat on Oct. 25 that a website dubbed 'system breakdown' has been formed, with AI feeding the information in real time.

The Kremlin confirmed Tuesday that U.S.-mediated Russia-Ukraine talks to end more than four years of war will take place in Abu Dhabi next week.

"The Russian delegation will arrive on November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi to take part in trilateral talks," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, adding that presidential aide and former culture minister Vladimir Medinsky will represent Moscow at the meeting.

Russia pummeled Ukraine with a fresh wave of overnight strikes a day after a deadly bombing of an aid center killed at least 29 people, Kyiv said Tuesday, with President Volodymyr Zelensky denouncing the strikes as "terror."

Moscow launched the attacks a week before Russia-Ukraine-US talks are due to resume in Abu Dhabi.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday signaled progress in talks with Iran to avoid a return to war, as Tehran said "intensive" exchanges were underway while offering to reopen the Strait of Hormuz under strict conditions.

A deal with Tehran "could happen," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, a day before crucial U.S. midterm elections. He added that "Iran wants a settlement, as soon as possible."

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever handed in his resignation on Monday as a long-simmering budget crisis boiled over, but King Philippe has not yet decided whether to accept it.

De Wever, a conservative Flemish nationalist, took office determined to tackle heavily indebted Belgium's budget problems but failed to win the support of the other members of his five-party government for his proposals.

Russia on Monday resumed attacks on Ukraine's Kherson region, after the end of a local ceasefire in the area, the longest truce in the war raging between the neighbors since 2022.

"At around 8:00 am this morning, Russian occupiers attacked a car with a drone in the Korabelny city district" of Kherson, local authorities said in a statement, adding that a 62-year-old woman and 73-year-old man were wounded and hospitalized.

French authorities expressed relief Sunday after mass protests over rising living costs resulted in less violence than previous weekends. But police expect new demonstrations as high schools at the heart of the movement reopen Monday after their autumn break.

Germany faced its own challenges after nationwide protests Saturday ended with rioters attacking police and looting stores in some cities. Around Europe, hundreds of thousands joined overwhelmingly peaceful marches Saturday inspired by young people, despite scattered unrest.
