Image
Giorgia Meloni is now Italy’s first female prime minister, after winning elections on Sunday September 25. The country's national election was triggered by party infighting that saw the collapse of Prime Minister Mario Draghi’s government in July.   Voters headed to the polls amid a number of new regulations, with voting hours also contained to one day rather than two. Addressing the media and supporters in the early hours of Monday morning, September 26, Meloni said it was “a night of pride for many and a night of redemption.”  “It’s a victory I want to dedicate to everyone who is no longer with us and wanted this night,” she said. “Starting tomorrow we have to show our value … Italians chose us, and we will not betray it, as we never have,” she said.     Preliminary results put an alliance of far-right parties, led by Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party, on track to win at least 44% of the vote, according to the Italian Interior Ministry.

The attack reportedly took place in the Seelampur region of Delhi in India and resulted in the child being hospitalized and in a critical condition.

Ukrainians who help Russia in its referendums to annex large swathes of Ukraine will face treason charges and at least five years in jail, Ukraine's presidential adviser said, as voting in four regions entered its last day.   Moscow hopes to annex the provinces of Kherson, Luhansk, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia, in the east and south, which make up about 15 percent of Ukraine.   None of the provinces are fully under Moscow's control and fighting has been under way along the entire front line, with Ukrainian forces reporting more advances since they routed Russian troops in a fifth province, Kharkiv, earlier this month.     Russian President Vladimir Putin  issued a veiled threat to use nuclear weapons to protect Russian soil, which would include the four provinces if annexed.   Voting on whether to join Russia began on Friday in the regions and is due to end on Tuesday, with the Russian parliament possibly approving the annexation within days...
