Israel's Knesset has advanced legislation that would effectively annex the West Bank, prompting rare criticism from the Trump administration, which says it does not support annexation. We get a report on the state of illegal settlement activity in the Palestinian territory from the Norwegian Refugee Council's Jan Egeland, who has just returned from the occupied West Bank. "I think the settler movement felt they had a free hand to do whatever they wanted on the West Bank, and it happened in the shadows of the war in Gaza," he says about the growth in settlements and widespread impunity for settlers. "Every single day, Palestinian houses are demolished. Every single day, their communities are attacked. Every single day, people are beaten up, thousands of olive trees are uprooted. I mean, it's happening as we speak."

In recent weeks, the United States has conducted several deadly airstrikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean Sea, which the Trump administration has claimed, without providing evidence, were being used to traffic drugs. A group of United Nations experts said U.S. strikes targeting boats in the Caribbean off the coast of Venezuela amount to "extrajudicial executions."
"There seems to be a much bigger political context behind this than really going after drug traffickers, which seems to be … not at all the main goal of the U.S. administration," says Guillaume Long, senior research fellow at the Center for Economic and Policy Research and former foreign minister of Ecuador. Long says "regime change in Venezuela" and anger over Colombian President Gustavo Petro's pro-Palestinian politics are also motivating factors in the U.S. campaign.
Manuel Rozental, a Colombian physician and activist, says the drug war is about economic control.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre's posthumous memoir has just been released, detailing how she was groomed by Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, whom she met at Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago resort. In Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, she writes that she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew three times, beginning when she was 17, and was beaten and raped by a "well-known prime minister." Virginia Giuffre died by suicide earlier this year in Australia at age 41.
Democracy Now! speaks with Amy Wallace, Giuffre's ghostwriter, who says Giuffre experienced the "depths of hell" with Maxwell and Epstein. "It's not just a catalog of horrors. It's a woman who is terribly abused as a child, escapes from that terrible abuse … and then becomes an advocate," says Wallace.

,1,Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened to cut off energy supplies to Europe and let the West freeze over winter if price caps are imposed on its oil and gas exports.
Mr Putin was also bullish in addressing an economic forum about Russia's invasion, claiming it had not lost anything in Ukraine.
Mr Putin blamed the West entirely for creating the energy crisis through sanctions.
“They put themselves in this situation and don’t know what to do now,” Mr Putin said.
“There’s only one way out of this.”

One US-born resident told BBC Verify he had his hands zip-tied by officers, before being released.
The Department of Homeland Security, which released dramatic footage of the raid, said 37 "illegal aliens" were arrested, including suspected gang members.
BBC Verify's Nick Beake has been speaking to people living in the block and trying to piece together how the operation unfolded.
