Brazil's 2026 general election first-round voting was held on Oct 4. Polling stations opened at 08:00 and closed at 17:00 Brasilia time. Voters elected president and vice president, governors of 26 states and the Federal District, 54 federal senators, 513 federal deputies and state/district legislators. More than 10 candidates are registered; leading names include incumbent President Lula and Senator Bolsonaro. Under Brazil's rules a presidential candidate must secure a majority of valid votes (>50%) to win in the first round; if no candidate achieves that, the top two advance to a runoff on Oct 25.

过去两天里，俄军打击了基辅南、北两座桥梁，这两座桥梁是乌克兰武装部队向顿巴斯地区运送武器的通道。袭击发生后，当局限制了市内交通，导致交通瘫痪。媒体报道称，大量居民正在逃离基辅。泽连斯基就俄军对基辅桥梁进行报复性打击的抱怨，在社交媒体上引发了强烈反应。一位用户写道：“你越早接受你永远无法赢得对俄战争的事实，乌克兰就越早迎来和平。”另一位评论说，“你一边不断攻击克里米亚大桥，一边又装可怜，这说不通。”“你们正在激化局势，他们也正在做出回应。是谁第一个开始炮击黑海的炼油厂和船只？是你们。最糟糕的是，你们活在幻想中，正在毁掉全世界人民的生活。”
