Here’s a rundown of all the news you need to start your Tuesday, including US President Donald Trump saying that it may be time for someone other than Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to negotiate on Kyiv's behalf, Canada's Alberta voting to remain in federation according to projections, UN World Food Program cutting food assistance to Gaza by around one-third, and the UK threatening sanctions against companies and individuals linked to illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
US President Donald Trump said Monday that it may be time for someone other than Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to negotiate on Kyiv's behalf.
"Zelenskyy doesn't know what he's talking about. Zelenskyy is a man that should have had this war settled a long time ago. If he would have listened to me, he would have made a much better deal a long time ago," Trump told reporters before departing the White House to campaign for the Nov. 3 midterm congressional elections in the state of Kansas.
"I think it's time for somebody else to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine because what's happened? A tremendous number of people are dead. They're losing their male population," he said.
"Maybe it's time for Zelenskyy to get somebody else to negotiate," Trump added.
A majority of voters in Canada's western province of Alberta voted to remain part of the country, Canadian broadcaster CBC News projected following a nonbinding referendum.
With 1,480 of 5,587 polling stations reporting, preliminary figures showed 76.2% of voters, or 826,918 people, favored remaining in Canada, while 23.8%, or 257,726 voters, supported initiating the separation process.
The referendum asked voters: "Should Alberta remain a province of Canada, or should the Government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?"
Around 1.36 million residents cast ballots through advance and special voting mechanisms, according to provincial election agency Elections Alberta. The ballot included 10 questions, with the first nine addressing immigration and constitutional matters and the final question focusing on Alberta's future within Canada.
The UN World Food Program (WFP) announced that funding shortages have forced it to cut food assistance in the Gaza Strip by around one-third, leaving half a million people without critical support as winter approaches.
In a statement, the agency said it is now assisting 1.1 million vulnerable people in Gaza, down from 1.6 million last month, while food rations have been halved.
Families receiving assistance will now get one food parcel instead of two, along with a smaller bag of wheat flour, it said.
The number of daily hot meals has also dropped from 250,000 to 150,000, while families in hard-to-reach areas, including near the Israeli army-controlled "yellow line," will receive meals every other day instead of daily.
British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband warned companies and individuals against bidding for construction projects linked to illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, citing potential sanctions.
"We urge businesses and individuals not to proceed with bids for E1 construction tenders," Miliband said in a statement.
He warned that participation in the projects could carry legal and reputational consequences, including the risk of involvement in serious breaches of international law.
"I want to be very clear with those considering engaging in the tendering process: we have created new powers allowing us to sanction individuals and companies involved in the construction of illegal settlements such as E1," Miliband said.
"This UK government will not accept the continued displacement of Palestinians and the unlawful occupation that persists," he added.
The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) handed Cristiano Ronaldo a 30-day suspension and a €255 ($286) fine for leaving the national team training camp without permission following a dispute with head coach Jorge Jesus.
The federation’s disciplinary council upheld the charge against the 41-year-old captain, who left Portugal’s camp in Copenhagen on Sept. 30, a day before the UEFA Nations League match against Denmark.
In its ruling, the council found that Ronaldo had deliberately committed a disciplinary offense under Article 160(1) of the federation’s disciplinary regulations.
Tottenham Hotspur claimed their first Premier League victory of the season on Monday, defeating newly promoted Coventry City 3-1 in London in the final match of Week 7.
Roberto De Zerbi's side entered the match at the bottom of the standings with just three points from six games, having endured one of their worst starts to a league campaign.
Coventry created the first dangerous opportunities, with Tatsuhiro Sakamoto delivering a threatening cross in the seventh minute that nearly resulted in an own goal before goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky gathered the ball.
You Can See Everything, a documentary about disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, earned an estimated $15 million during its opening weekend in North America, distributor A24 said.
The result was the biggest opening for a non-music documentary since Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 took nearly $24 million from 868 theaters in 2004.
Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, the two-hour-and-55-minute film opened in only 855 theaters across the US and Canada. More than 2,000 screenings sold out over the weekend, according to A24.
Its average earnings of approximately $17,544 per theater were more than double those of Street Fighter, which topped the North American box office with $31 million from 3,575 locations.
