Trump says Iran war ends soon, as Gulf allies are told to expect strikes

Poland's government under Donald Tusk has suspended Constitutional Tribunal president Bogdan Święczkowski and his deputy, and police have secured the court in Warsaw. President Karol Nawrocki cut short a Senegal trip, joined protesters facing police and entered the building despite resistance, prompting a heated exchange inside. A tribunal judge accused him of choosing "physical confrontation". The opposition PiS calls the suspension a coup.

Trump said the US is looking into whether North Korean hackers were behind the $6.3bn heist at Binance, the largest crypto theft on record. Binance has suspended deposits and withdrawals, set aside more than $6.34bn to cover losses and is working with the FBI and Secret Service. TRM Labs and Chainalysis have linked the attack to North Korea's TraderTraitor group. Other exchanges are moving to tighten their defences.

A federal judge barred the Justice Department from threatening or coercing election workers to stop processing California ballots, after the department sent grand jury subpoenas to Los Angeles election workers. Separately, a US appeals court for the second time in under a week rejected the department's bid to have California set aside about 20,000 ballots over suspected non-citizen voting.

Brazil summoned an Argentinian diplomat over Flávio Bolsonaro's flight to the US, a move that could strain relations between Lula and Argentina's Javier Milei. Bolsonaro, who has not conceded Lula's October 25 runoff win, said in an Instagram livestream that "the persecution began even sooner than I imagined", after his Brazilian passports were cancelled in a money laundering investigation.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio cancelled the traditional G20 foreign ministers' group photo in Atlanta after European officials, the UK and Australia said they would boycott or walk out if Russia's Sergei Lavrov was in it. Lavrov still held talks on the sidelines: Japan demanded the release of a detained national, and Saudi Arabia's Faisal bin Farhan discussed Yemen and shipping in Hormuz and Bab al-Mandeb.

The three allies pledged to pursue North Korea's complete denuclearisation, as speculation grows over a possible Trump-Kim Jong Un meeting at next month's APEC summit in China. Trump has repeatedly signalled he wants nuclear talks with Pyongyang. North Korea has recently tested attack drones and cruise missiles, and South Korea has vowed a firm response to border breaches.
