Hello, and welcome to your international briefing from Banana News. This is a calm summary of the most recent stories, drawn from headlines and short snippets published by news outlets, and each item tells you where it comes from. Let's begin.

First, Hundreds from Russian-occupied Oleshky land in Belarus en route to Ukraine. It is being covered by 10 outlets, including Al Jazeera, Vox and BBC News. According to Al Jazeera: Four planes transporting evacuees from the war-ravaged city have arrived in Belarus's Gomel.

Next, Aston Villa vs Jamie Carragher, 'Unacceptable insults', legal action and what comes next. It is being covered by 8 outlets, including Birmingham Mail, Al Jazeera and Vanguard Nigeria. According to Birmingham Mail: Jamie Carragher has been pushing a narrative that Unai Emery should leave Aston Villa for Manchester United if given the chance, and from there, things have escalated.

Also, Andy Burnham says he is 'open' to UK making a formal apology for slavery as King Charles arrives in Antigua. It is being covered by 9 outlets, including Daily Mail, Vanguard Nigeria and Dawn. According to Daily Mail: In what would be a significant U-turn on previous government policy, the PM said he is 'open' to the possibility of the UK issuing a formal apology for its role in the transatlantic slave trade.

Then, Halloween masks are banned in France as 70,000 police take to the streets facing 'high risk' of rioting, looting and arson on fresh day of protest. It is being covered by 6 outlets, including Daily Mail, Stuff NZ and France 24. According to Daily Mail: On Saturday, French interior minister Laurent Nunez said more rioting, looting and arson was inevitable on a 'high risk' day when 70,000 police and gendarmes would be on the street.

And finally, Iran’s Supreme Leader issues stark warning to US against attacks as Ayatollah vows ‘immediate’ response to any threats. It is being covered by 11 outlets, including The Sun, Independent Journal Review and The Times of India. According to The Sun: IRAN'S nepo-terrorist leader Mojtaba Khamenei has warned the US not to renew its strikes, vowing to respond immediately to any attack.

That's the latest for now. Everything here comes from the outlets named, so for the full stories, follow the links on the page. Thank you for listening, and take care.
