Who are Britain’s new far right? Today we launch Undercurrent, a new channel making ground-level documentaries about the people, events & movements reshaping Britain. Our first film goes inside a Tommy Robinson rally to explore how anti-immigration activism is broadening. youtu.be/ii7UIibLYW4?...

These are the revolutionary scenes in Belgrade’s Slavija Square tonight as the Student List celebrates its victory over Aleksandar Vučić.

Trump on Lula's victory in Brazil: "It looked like another rigged election... It looked very bad to me."

Flávio Bolsonaro refuses to concede Brazil's presidential election and will ask for the result to be annulled: "It is impossible to recognise the election results... We are going to ask for the annulment of these elections!"

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

To understand how Lula supporters are feeling right now, imagine Trump went to jail for his Jan 6 insurrection and then Biden/Harris defeated Don Jr in 2024.

Being able to say you've defeated two generations of Bolsonaros is one hell of a bragging right.

So how did Lula come from behind to defeat Bolsonaro? In short, turnout. Bolsonaro's vote share barely moved. But Lula banked millions of votes from those who didn't vote in the first round & won eliminated candidates' votes. A remarkable mobilisation. Second round turnout is usually below first.

Side note, but it's pretty cool to know the winner of a presidential election with over 125 million votes by midnight — in a country that's three hours behind you. God bless electronic voting machines.

Lula just obliterated his entire career plan.

With almost 76% of votes counted, Lula's lead over Bolsonaro is only growing. Polymarket now lists Lula's chances of victory at 98%. It's over. Lula defeats Bolsonaro.

Meanwhile, pro-democracy, pro-Europe protesters in Tbilisi, Georgia, are tonight nearing their 700th consecutive day of protest against the pro-Russian government. They haven't missed a single day in the last 23 months.

Hungarian PM Péter Magyar: "I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students List, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them... I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle."

President Lula after Flavio Bolsonaro mocked his missing finger: “I will not allow a militiaman to call me ‘nine fingers’. He has never worked a day in his life. He doesn't know what an employment book is.” Lula’s little finger was amputated after an industrial accident as a metalworker in 1964.

Mark Carney on Elon Musk crippling Ukraine’s Starlink: “I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision… against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of its citizens against naked aggression."

Americans should have moved the White House to the Donbas if they wanted to keep it out of Russian hands.

The thing about white Christian nationalists is that they don't actually care about white Christians. They only care about themselves. You just have to see the heartbreaking images of dead Ukrainian children from the past few days to know that.

No other building stands a chance at the annual Ballroom & Military Complex Combination Awards.

Romanian Foreign Ministry tonight: "The Black Sea will be safe again. Two F-16 from the Romanian Air Force shot down two aerial drones that entered our airspace without authorization over the Black Sea. Our military has prepared for an increased intensity of hybrid interference."

Look at how EVs surge under Biden (2021-25) and collapse under Trump (2025-onwards). The US is now a global outlier.

Anyone who advocates allowing Ukraine to be annihilated by Russia and North Korea is an outright traitor to Europe. www.reuters.com/world/german...

Zelenskyy is resurrecting the ghost of Lindsey Graham to haunt Trump.

This is admittedly just a hunch. But I strongly suspect that part of the motivation behind Trump and Musk crippling Ukrainian defence is the sheer childlike thrill of flicking a switch and watching things explode thousands of miles away. They are juvenile sadists literally playing with human lives.

Is Trump is using you as a scapegoat for his own problem? Zelensky: [Smiles] "This is my answer."

Zelensky is welcomed by EU leaders at the Brussels summit. On this side of the Atlantic, no other leader commands this level of love and respect.

Do you feel betrayed? Zelensky: "Really, yes... It's a pity we are losing a strong partner." You think you're losing America? Zelensky" Yeah... It's not about business for us. It's just our life. And this our country, our body, our home, our children... This is not the right side of history."

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski is taking on MAGA anti-Ukraine propagandists.

NATO Sec Gen Mark Rutte: "We will defend every inch of our territory... We have land forces all along the eastern flank of NATO... What we will exactly do if the Russians are stupid enough to attack... you will see then. I will not go into depth. But you can be assured we will defend ourselves."
