Josh Hawley grills Dr. Fauci in a Senate hearing — asking what day of the week it is, what color tie he's wearing — and gets the Fifth Amendment every time. 111 invocations, zero answers.

Hawley explains why he asked Dr. Fauci about his tie and the carpet: to test the good faith of 111 Fifth Amendment invocations — including questions with no fear of prosecution. “That is an abuse… there's no privilege for any of that.” Tue, 06 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000 https://globalnewsshorts.com/clips/france-student-protests-tear-gas/ https://globalnewsshorts.com/clips/france-student-protests-tear-gas/ France's student protest wave peaks on October 6 with a national day of demonstrations: 256,000 marchers counted by the Interior Ministry, 450,000 by organizers, up to 100,000 in Paris marching from République to Nation. What began September 21 at a Créteil high school over teacher shortages, overcrowded classes and crumbling buildings has spread nationwide — 24 schools burned or ransacked, 78 staff injured, over 6,500 arrested, mostly minors. Police fired tear gas as the Paris march ended; Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu suspended classes through the week.

The move followed the September 27 arrest of five British men near the base over a suspected terror plot — with a seventh arrest in London on Tuesday — and the UK prime minister cited ‘strong indications’ of Iranian involvement, which Tehran denies. President Trump confirmed the bombers ‘didn't fly out by accident,’ contradicting Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who had called it a ‘regular rotation.’ Vice President JD Vance said it was done ‘out of an abundance of caution.’ Fairford is the only European airfield for US heavy bombers and was used in this year's strikes on Iran.

Lula, 80, admitted he was ‘convinced’ he would win outright in the first round. The 2.2-million-vote gap is one of the narrowest in recent Brazilian history, and the two frontrunners took 92% of all votes — the most polarized first round since democracy returned in 1985.
