Residents of Moldova go to the polls for the second time in the presidential election on Sunday. The result could be decisive for what the country’s future in the EU looks like.
Two weeks ago, Moldovans voted by a narrow majority for membership in the EU. Parallel to the referendum, a presidential election was held, where pro-European Maia Sandu received the most support with 42 percent.
Since Sandu did not get over 50 percent, however, a second round of elections was required against the pro-Russian candidate Aleksandr Stoianoglo, who received about 26 percent of the vote.

Presidential candidate Kamala Harris leads in the latest and final opinion poll before the Iowa caucuses, writes CNN.
Harris has 47 percent of the vote, compared to Trump’s 44 percent.
The numbers are within the margin of error, which otherwise indicates that it is very even between the candidates.
But the earlier poll showed 47 percent support for Trump and 43 percent for Harris.
Trump won the state in both the 2016 and 2020 elections.

Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American woman in Congress, refuses to stand behind Kamala Harris, The Guardian reports.
She is the only one in the high-profile group called “The Squad” who does not, because she is critical of Harris and the Democrats’ actions regarding the war in Gaza.
At a Michigan caucus on Friday, she urged voters to vote across the board — rather than vote specifically for Harris.

The hip-hop star better known as Diddy is charged with sex trafficking, extortion and sex crimes after several serious allegations of, among other things, trafficking and rape. He denies all the accusations.
The search should have nothing to do with Diddy, but was “planned to ensure the safety and security of staff and inmates.”
The prison, which holds 1,200 people, has a reputation for violence, understaffing and strange deaths. This summer it was again in the spotlight when two men were stabbed to death. Five prisoners were later charged with murder.
A 35-year-old man was first reported to have been killed in a bear attack while camping in Montana in the northwestern United States earlier in October.
But now new evidence shows that the man was murdered by a man unknown to him, whom he first invited to drink beer with him at the campsite, reports BBC.
The same-age man was arrested after his DNA was found on a beer can at the crime scene and is now charged with murder, Montana police said.
Among other things, he allegedly attacked his victim with an axe.
The man has confessed to the murder. The motive is not yet clear.

Six people, including four children, have been injured in an attack on a polio vaccination center in Gaza, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
“Extremely disturbing reports have reached the WHO that the center in northern Gaza was hit on Saturday while parents were taking their children there,” WHO Secretary-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on X without going into who was behind the attack.
He writes that the incident took place in an area where a humanitarian pause had been agreed to allow vaccination.
A representative of the Gaza Civil Defense has accused Israel of being behind the attack, something denied by Israel’s military (IDF):
“Contrary to claims, an initial review has shown that the IDF did not strike the area at the time indicated.”
The WHO resumed the second round of vaccinations in northern Gaza on Saturday after earlier being forced to halt them due to Israeli attacks.
