Chaos in Canada after Trump’s threats

Chaos grew on Monday in Canadian politics. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced resignation calls even from within his own party after his Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned, writes the BBC.

Netanyahu in Syria: “Troops will stay”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israeli troops will remain in the area of ​​Syria recently entered “until another agreement is reached that guarantees Israel’s security.” This is reported by AP.

Suspected poison attempt against Putin critic’s relative

Police in Berlin are investigating a possible case of poisoning of a German-Russian woman. Russian regime critic Vladimir Kara-Murza says his mother is in hospital but poisoning has not been confirmed.

The information about the suspected poisoning comes from the woman herself, who stated at the hospital that she thought she had been poisoned, writes the Berlin police on X.

She was not named by the police, but was quickly revealed by Der Spiegel to be very close to Russian opposition leader Vladimir Kara-Murza.

This led to speculation that the woman had been exposed to a nerve agent. Her blood, clothes, and apartment are being examined as part of the investigation, according to the Berlin police.

Several German media reported that the woman is Vladimir Kara-Murza’s mother. The regime critic herself writes on Telegram that she is in hospital, but that the doctors have not yet been able to establish that she has been poisoned.

Vladimir Kara-Murza had been sentenced to 25 years in prison in Russia, but was part of a prisoner exchange in August this year and currently lives in Berlin. In Russia, he was subjected to two attempted murders by poison.
