Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Sunday cancelled his trip to Russia for the BRICS summit, following medical advice to temporarily avoid long-haul flights after a head injury at home that caused a minor brain haemorrhage.

In a statement, the presidential office said Lula, 78, will now participate in the BRICS meeting via videoconference. He was initially scheduled to depart at 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Lula's doctor, Roberto Kalil, said in an interview with GloboNews TV channel that the president suffered a fall that caused "great" trauma to the back of his head, requiring stitches for the injury and resulting in a "small brain hemorrhage" in the temporal-frontal region.

"It's a condition that will require repeat tests throughout the week. Any brain haemorrhage, theoretically, can worsen in the following days, so observation is important," he said.

Kalil added that Lula is doing well and can engage in normal activities.

According to a medical report issued earlier on Sunday by the Sirio Libanes Hospital in Brasilia, Lula suffered a laceration to the "occipital region" in the back of his head on Saturday.

The report said Lula "was advised to avoid long-distance air travel but is otherwise able to carry out his regular duties."

The government said in a post on X that Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira has been designated to lead the Brazilian delegation in the BRICS summit, departing later on Sunday.

The diplomatic forum was founded 15 years ago by major emerging markets Brazil, Russia, India, China has since expanding to include South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.

Congresswoman Gleisi Hoffmann, president of Lula's Workers Party, posted on social media that she had spoken with the president and that "he is doing very well, just avoiding a long trip."

Former United States (US) president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Sunday (Oct 20) spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid the escalating conflict in West Asia.

Former United States (US) president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Sunday (Oct 20) spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid the escalating conflict in West Asia. Trump told reporters that Prime Minister Netanyahu had asked his opinion on what to do about Iran. "We talked. I congratulated him on obviously doing a very good job keeping Israel safe. He's doing very well. He calls me on occasion. I think he wants my views on things. He's had very little cooperation from the White House, as you know," Trump said, as reported by news agency Reuters. Also read | West Asia crisis- 'Will listen to opinions of US on Iran' but national interest comes first: Israel "They don't; they didn't want him to do anything, and they would not be in the good position they're in right now if they listened to the White House, which I guess would be a combination of Kamala and Joe. They're not happy about that either, I will tell you. Israel's not happy about that," he added. 'Israel will make decisions based on national interests' Trump's comments came hours after Netanyahu's office said that Israel took into account the issues that the US raised, "but in the end, will make its decisions based on its national interests." Israel has been pondering its military reaction to the October 1 missile attack by Iran. Last week, the Israeli government said that it would consider Washington's opinion on Iran but would act against an Iranian missile attack based on its "national interests."

Willing to strike military facilities in Iran: Israel On October 1, Iran launched about 200 missiles at Israel in retaliation to an Israeli strike in Beirut that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian general Abbas Nilforoushan. Earlier, Netanyahu told Washington that he was willing to strike military rather than oil or nuclear facilities in Iran, the Washington Post said in a report last week. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said that Tehran would not hesitate to take "strong defensive actions" if Israel retaliated for the October 1 missile attack. Iran is "fully prepared to take stronger defensive actions, if necessary, in response to any further aggression, and will not hesitate to do so," Araqchi said in a letter to other foreign ministers, according to a ministry post on X.

Australian Senator Lidia Thorpe, who made headlines for yelling at King Charles and calling him "not our sovereign", has defended her actions.&nbsp;

Senator Thorpe had started shouting at the British monarch after he spoke at the Australian parliament on Monday (Oct 21).

"Give us our land back. Give us what you stole from us! Our bones, our skulls, our babies, our people. You destroyed our land. Give us a treaty!" said Thorpe.

"You are not our&nbsp;King, you are not sovereign... you have committed genocide against our people," she further shouted.&nbsp;

At that moment, security stopped the senator from getting close to the monarch and took her out of the chamber in Canberra.

<h2>Thorpe says her outburst was 'global truth telling' about British royals</h2>

Speaking to Sky News, Thorpe said that she stood by her actions.

"We are the real sovereigns in this country. The King lives in your country, he's from your country. He can't be our King," she added.&nbsp;

"We have our bones and our skulls still in his family's possession. We want that back. We want our land back. And we want your King to take some leadership and sit at the table and discuss a treaty with us," stated the senator.

Explaining why she called the British monarch "genocidal", Thorpe said, "There are thousands of massacre sites in this country from invasion and someone needs to answer for that. He is the successor, then he needs to answer".

She further added that she "wasn't fussed" if some believe that she had abused her power, as she enjoys "the support of Aboriginal people around this country".

Australian Senator Lidia Thorpe, who made headlines for yelling at King Charles and calling him "not our sovereign", has defended her actions. Senator Thorpe had started shouting at the British monarch after he spoke at the Australian parliament on Monday (Oct 21).

Australian Senator Lidia Thorpe, who made headlines for yelling at King Charles and calling him "not our sovereign", has defended her actions. Senator Thorpe had started shouting at the British monarch after he spoke at the Australian parliament on Monday (Oct 21). "Give us our land back. Give us what you stole from us! Our bones, our skulls, our babies, our people. You destroyed our land. Give us a treaty!" said Thorpe.

At that moment, security stopped the senator from getting close to the monarch and took her out of the chamber in Canberra. Thorpe says her outburst was 'global truth telling' about British royals Speaking to Sky News, Thorpe said that she stood by her actions. "We are the real sovereigns in this country. The King lives in your country, he's from your country. He can't be our King," she added. "We have our bones and our skulls still in his family's possession. We want that back. We want our land back. And we want your King to take some leadership and sit at the table and discuss a treaty with us," stated the senator. Explaining why she called the British monarch "genocidal", Thorpe said, "There are thousands of massacre sites in this country from invasion and someone needs to answer for that. He is the successor, then he needs to answer".

Thorpe stated that the outburst was for "global truth-telling about the royals who caused so much devastation - to not only your people in this country but Indigenous people around the world".

7 Killed In Terror Attack On Civilians In J&K, Home Minister Amit Shah Condemns The Attack

Kazan, referred to as Russia's third capital, after Moscow and St. Petersburg, is decked up with banners of the BRICS summit, flags, security, and the red and blue of the Russian flag to welcome the leaders of the BRICS countries. The country will not just see the attendance of BRICS leaders from&nbsp;India, China, South Africa, Brazil, Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt, the UAE, and host Russia, but also invited countries. Around 20 world leaders are expected to be present in the city.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has invited neighbouring countries from central Asia, and the Global South, like Sri Lanka. BRICS is a grouping that represents 45% of the world's population, 33% of the world's land mass, and 28% of the world's economy.

President Putin, in a meeting with BRICS media persons ahead of the summit, was quite upbeat on the grouping's future. Quoting Indian PM Narendra Modi, he pointed out that the grouping is non-western and not anti-western. He said, "The Prime Minister of India put it best. He said BRICS is not an anti-Western alliance; it is simply non-Western. This distinction is very important and has great meaning. That is, BRICS does not set itself in opposition to anyone."

The group, which first met at leadership level in 2009 in Russia's Yekaterinburg, emerged in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. The group of leading emerging economies saw its first expansion in 2011 with the inclusion of South Africa, giving the "S" to BRICS, followed by a second&nbsp;major expansion last year with the inclusion of Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. More and more countries are keen to become its members. Delhi has supported the process of BRICS expansion and believes that the group can be a strong voice of the global south.

India, which has been a founding member of the group, is expected to play an important role at this year's summit with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in attendance. This will be the second time he will be visiting Russia this year, the first being for a bilateral visit to Moscow. On the sidelines, the PM will have a bilateral meeting with host Russian President Putin, and is also likely to meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian.

However, the question remains&nbsp;if any meeting will happen between PM Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping amid the chill in ties.

Indian foreign secretary Vikram Misri on Monday announced that both sides have agreed on a patrolling agreement at the line of actual control, which leads to disengagement. Last year, both leaders had a brief interaction in South Africa.

For Russia, the aim will be to prove that the BRICS summit is successful. Alternate payments mechanism, expansion of the BRICS through a new category of BRICS partner countries will be one of the key focus areas of the Kazan summit. All in all, it will be a moment for Moscow to tell the world, particularly the west, that it is not isolated amid the Ukraine war and that it has a lot of friends in Asia and the global south.

Mexico City Transforms Into Spooky Spectacle

Republican&nbsp;presidential nominee&nbsp;Donald Trump made the headlines on Sunday when he went behind the fry station of McDonald's restaurant for a brief period of time and served takeout to citizens in the drive-thru lane in Feasterville-Trevose in Bucks County.

However, Trump - who calls himself a germophobe - soon came under fire for not wearing gloves or a hairnet and only an apron on his shirt while claiming that his hands were "nice and clean."&nbsp;

According to the report, Trump went to work at the restaurant without washing his hands.

This McDonald's restaurant had recently failed its health inspection and the Bucks County Department of Health had highlighted employees not having "hands clean and properly washed" as the main reason for the failure.&nbsp;

"Food employees are not washing their hands as required before putting on gloves, after handling soiled tableware, after handling raw meat, before handling clean tableware, equipment, utensils," said the county inspector in the report.&nbsp;

"Observed employees handling raw beef with gloves and then switching gloves without hand washing step in between," it added.

It was further noted by the inspector that the workers were "not wearing hair restraints as required, which includes management that assists in packaging and preparing food."

"Employees shall wear hair restraints such as hats, hair coverings or nets, they are effectively designed and worn to keep their hair from contacting exposed food; clean equipment, utensils and linen; and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles," stated the report.

<h2>Trump faces backlash on social media</h2>

Some of the social media users slammed Trump for not wearing any hair restraints or wearing gloves.

"My problem with the McDonald's / Trump staging … They closed the store. Folks lost wages for a guy that does not believe in paying overtime to hourly wages. He wasn't wearing gloves handling food. This is dumb," said Tonya McKenzie, a public relations expert.

"Looking at the pictures of Trump 'working' at McDonald's makes me want to scream. Multiple food safety violations including lack of hair net and no gloves. Gross," commented Lynn Marchitelli.&nbsp;

"Trump is using his bare hands handling food, no gloves. Health and safety code violation," said @CHERRYW00609336.&nbsp;

Trump violates food safety regulations at McDonald's, week after restaurant failed health inspection

Israel dismantled an alleged spy network in Iraq and arrested seven citizens in the process on Monday (Oct 21).&nbsp;

The citizens were reportedly collecting information from the energy infrastructure and military bases of Israel to hand it over to the Iranian intelligence.

The police and internal security "successfully dismantled a spy network involving seven Israeli citizens who were operating on behalf of Iranian intelligence," said the police, in a statement and added that they have arrested all seven of them.

The seven Israeli citizens belonged to the city of Haifa and other northern areas of the country.

"This network was engaged in gathering sensitive information on IDF (military) bases and energy infrastructure," it added.

<h2>Crypto-currency payments, Iranian agent: Here's how spy nexus worked</h2>

According to the police, the Israeli investigations found that the people were carrying out different missions under the guidance of two Iranian agents called "Alkhan and Orkhan" for the last two years.

"The network members were aware that the intelligence they provided compromised national security and could potentially aid enemy missile attacks," said the police.&nbsp;

"The network conducted extensive reconnaissance missions on IDF bases nationwide, focusing on air force and navy installations, ports, Iron Dome system locations, and energy infrastructure such as the Hadera power plant," it added.

The police stated that hundreds of thousands of dollars were sent to the group for the work in the form of crypto-currency payments.

"The investigation led to seizure of substantial materials compiled by the network members for Iranian agents," stated an official from Israel's internal security agency, in the police statement.

"These included photographs and videos of numerous IDF bases across Israel, ports, and energy infrastructure. It is assessed that these activities have inflicted security damage on the state," the official added.

US-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, who was accused by Ankara of organising a failed 2016 coup, has died in exile in the United States, aged 83, his movement and the Turkish government said Monday.

Turkish-born Gulen, who had lived in the United States since 1999, was once a close ally of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan before the two became bitter enemies.

"Our intelligence sources confirm the death of the leader of the FETO organisation," Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told a press conference, using Turkey's term for Gulen's once-influential Hizmet movement.

Turkey's TRT public television said the preacher, who had lived in Pennsylvania for a quarter of a century and was stripped of his Turkish nationality in 2017, died in hospital overnight.

In a message on X, Gulen's website, Herkul, which is banned in Turkey, said he died on "October 20", pledging to share details about his funeral.

Gulen moved to Pennsylvania in 1999, ostensibly for health reasons, and from there he ran Hizmet, which, at the time, had a sprawling network of public schools on every continent.

In 2013, he had a major falling out with Erdogan and three years later, the Turkish strongman accused him of plotting to overthrow him, dubbing Hizmet "the Fethullah Terror Organisation" (FETO).

Some 250 people died on July 15, 2016 when a rogue military faction tried to overthrow Turkey's government using warplanes and tanks, with Erdogan blaming Gulen supporters within the military.

"This organisation has become a threat rarely seen in the history of our nation," Fidan said, accusing its followers of "being used as a weapon against their own country".

Despite Gulen's death, Turkey would continue "the fight against this organisation, which poses a national security problem", Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunc wrote on X.

<h2>- Ally turned enemy -</h2>

Once an ally who helped Erdogan when he became prime minister in the early 2000s, Gulen's ties with him became strained in 2010.

Three years later, Gulen became persona non grata when a corruption scandal engulfed the Turkish premier's inner circle.

Erdogan blamed Gulen, and later began accusing him of terror links, although the preacher repeatedly insisted his movement was merely a network of charitable and business institutions.

Things worsened after the coup, with the authorities prosecuting more than 700,000 people and handing a life sentence to some 3,000 Gulen followers for their alleged involvement in the putsch.

Bayram Balci, a researcher at the Paris Institute of Political Studies (Sciences-Po) told AFP the death of the once-charismatic preacher would have little impact in Turkey.

"Since the break with Erdogan in 2010 and especially after the attempted coup in 2016, Gulen's image has been very bad. Few people hold him in high esteem," he told AFP.

There was no chance Ankara would allow Gulen's body to be repatriated for burial, and he would likely be buried near his home in Pennsylvania, he said.

Hizmet is "no longer the big movement that it once was" with its influence much reduced and its vast network of schools now only mainly operating in Germany, the United States, Nigeria and South Africa.

Turkey still regularly rounds up Gulen followers and demands their extradition from countries where his network is active.

Turkish security sources quoted by the private NTV broadcaster said very few people were expected to attend Gulen's funeral and that his body would likely be buried in the US at a location that would be kept secret.&nbsp;

Lucy Letby, a former nurse convicted of murdering seven infants, may have caused harm to even more babies than previously thought. Recent findings indicate that she could have poisoned a child in her care with insulin.

Letby was found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others, which included efforts to kill two infants with insulin at the neonatal unit of the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016.

<h2>New findings on insulin poisoning</h2>

Documents reviewed by BBC One's Panorama reveal that a third baby might have also been poisoned shortly after Letby took over their care. Medical records show that the infant experienced a sudden drop in blood sugar levels, accompanied by unusually high insulin levels.

<h2>Abnormal blood test results</h2>

Blood tests from a baby boy cared for by Lucy Letby in November 2015, revealed concerning results. His tests showed very high levels of insulin and low levels of C-peptide, a substance usually found in higher amounts when the body produces natural insulin. The baby’s insulin level was recorded at 6,945 picomoles per litre, while his C-peptide level was only 220.

<h2>Deterioration after nurse's shift begins</h2>

Medical records indicate that the baby’s condition worsened after Letby began her shift. At 06:56, his blood sugar was at a normal level of three millimoles per litre (mmol/L). However, by 13:54 —just over five hours into Letby’s shift—his blood sugar dropped to a dangerously low level, suggesting he may have received too much insulin. This low level persisted throughout her shift, and reports from the BBC indicate that the baby only started to recover after Letby finished her shift at 20:00.
