After noting that violent crime rates went up under Donald Trump, he added – with a smile - “and that doesn’t even count the crimes he committed”. He called the Republican ticket “weird as hell” –a label that has become a Democratic mantra in just a matter of days. And on the topic of abortion, he said government should follow a midwestern golden rule: “Mind your own damn business”.

Mixing humour with jabs - and speaking openly of the “joy” he sees in Democratic politics - may prove to be a more effective way to convince undecided voters who were simply not convinced by the dark “threat to democracy” rhetoric the Biden campaign had been using.

But so far there’s no sign of right-wing demonstrators nor of any violence.

The acting governor of Russia's Kursk region, Alexey Smirnov, announced on his Telegram profile on Wednesday that he is introducing an emergency situation in the region.

Smirnov described the operational situation as "difficult" and said "all necessary measures are being taken" to ensure the safety of citizens living in the affected area. "I will personally coordinate the work of the forces of the unified state system for the prevention and elimination of emergency situations," Smirnov wrote.

Earlier, Ukrainian armed forces launched an incursion into the parts of the Kursk region adjacent to the border with Ukraine's Sumy Oblast, reportedly taking control of several settlements and advancing deeper into Russian territory. Russian President Vladimir Putin called the attack a "large-scale provocation" and accused Ukrainian forces of targeting civilians.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova claimed on Wednesday that Ukraine has decided to "open a second front" in Africa because it is "unable to defeat Russia on the battlefield." She alleged Kiev is working with "terrorist groups" that operate in African countries friendly to Russia.

Mali and Niger cut diplomatic relations with Ukraine following an incident in which Malian soldiers and Russian mercenaries from the Wagner group were killed in clashes with Tuareg separatists and other groups. A spokesperson for Ukraine's Main Directorate of Intelligence said the separatists received "necessary information" to carry out the attack against Malian forces and Wagner fighters, prompting a strong response from the Malian government.

X Corp., owned by billionaire Elon Musk, on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) and its members, CVS Health, Mars, Orsted and Unilever, for violating antitrust laws, which resulted in billions of dollars in losses for the social media company, X CEO Linda Yaccarino said in a post on the social media platform.

The lawsuit alleges the industry group orchestrated advertisers' boycott of the platform amid concerns over whether X would abide by certain brand safety standards.

"To put it simply, people are hurt when the marketplace of ideas is undermined and some viewpoints are not funded over others as part of an illegal boycott. This behavior is a stain on a great industry, and cannot be allowed to continue," Yaccarino stated.
