California startup Reflect Orbital plans a constellation of up to 50,000 mirror satellites by 2035 that would reflect sunlight down to Earth after dark. A first demonstration satellite, Earendil-1, carrying an 18-metre mirror, has US regulatory approval and is aimed for launch in 2027, with two test launches booked from India's Skyroot Aerospace. The company says the light could extend solar power after sunset and help disaster and rescue work, while astronomers and environmental groups have raised concerns about the night sky and wildlife.

China has stepped up its diplomacy in the Middle East as fears grow that fighting between the United States and Iran could restart after the American midterm elections. In Beijing on Monday, Foreign Minister Wang Yi told a senior Iranian security official that dialogue and negotiation remain the only viable path forward, and that armed conflict is not the way out. Wang also met Saudi Arabia's national security adviser, who delivered a letter from the Saudi crown prince to President Xi Jinping. Xi separately met Oman's sultan, and the two sides called for a comprehensive ceasefire, renewed talks between Washington and Tehran, and safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. China also announced that its special envoy for the Middle East, Zhai Jun, will visit Iran, Oman and Saudi Arabia in early to mid-November.

On Election Day, President Donald Trump made a final pitch to voters in midterm elections that will decide control of Congress. In a morning television phone-in, he defended his record on immigration, the war with Iran and tariffs, and urged his supporters to turn out, telling them to act as if he were on the ballot. Polls heading into the vote pointed to Democrats winning the House, with a chance in the Senate, making the result a verdict on his second term.

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman has warned that speculative trading is turning the stock market into a casino. The Pershing Square founder said heavy leverage is driving wild price swings that make little sense, and that one-day leveraged products, perpetual futures and sports betting are encouraging a get-rich-quick mindset. He said the same swings have let his firm buy undervalued stocks, including Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet, but warned the speculation is bad for investors, the economy and society.

Five-star wing Malachi Jordan has committed to St. John's, giving the school its first five-star recruit in 13 years. The 6-foot-7 senior, who plays at Prolific Prep in Florida, picked St. John's over Kansas and Vanderbilt after visits to several leading programs. Ranked inside the national top 25 for the class of 2027, Jordan becomes coach Rick Pitino's highest-ranked recruit since he took over in 2023, and the program's first top-25 recruit since 2013. St. John's entered his recruitment late and only offered a scholarship a few weeks ago, after a shift toward signing more top high-school players. Jordan averaged 10.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists on the summer circuit and won a silver medal with the United States under-18 team.

Almost two weeks after EA closed BioWare and cancelled the next Mass Effect game, the signs point to a large celebration having been planned for N7 Day on November 7. Partner brands are teasing new Mass Effect figures, clothing and an art collection timed for that week, with reveals set for the days just before the annual fan celebration. The deals were most likely agreed months before the closure, so the merchandise is still expected to appear even though the studio is gone. Fans, meanwhile, are turning N7 Day into a show of support for the series, with a coordinated play session of the remastered trilogy planned for the day as part of a campaign to save Mass Effect.

A new investigation reports that people in Minnesota's Somali community who have spoken publicly about Representative Ilhan Omar say they have faced threats, online abuse and, in one case, physical assaults. The report says the people accused of making the threats are not officially connected to Omar, and it is unclear whether she knew about their actions. One unnamed man said he was attacked by a group in Minneapolis and again outside a restaurant in Kenya after speaking to the press, and another person said he was told he would be killed. The report also describes a phone call in which a critic was urged to withdraw earlier remarks and publish a message of support ahead of the midterm elections.

Code spotted in a test version of the Google app points to a big change to its bottom navigation bar. The current four tabs, Home, Search, Notifications and Activity, could become five, with Videos, Images and a new You tab replacing Notifications and Activity. The You tab would show the signed-in user's profile photo and bring together saved items, Lens searches and song searches. The change is still a work in progress and has not been announced, so it may look different, or not appear at all, when it reaches users.

A hidden secret in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has finally been found, more than three years after the game launched in April 2023. A player found it hours after the game's interface director hinted that one approved secret was still undiscovered in a menu. To trigger it, players must first defeat the Spawn of Oggdo boss on Koboh, then open the skill tree while meditating and enter the classic Konami code. Doing so makes a giant holographic Oggdo appear and swallow the planet in the background. The developer confirmed the find, closing a hunt that had lasted since the game's release.

Attacks on cargo ships near NATO members Romania and Bulgaria have escalated, with NATO deploying maritime patrol aircraft, radars and drones to its eastern Black Sea flank after seven strikes last month. A ship was struck just outside Romanian waters on October 23, and a Greek-owned container ship was later sunk by naval drones in Bulgaria's exclusive economic zone. Analysts say the pattern shows the maritime war between Russia and Ukraine widening into a direct challenge for NATO, and describe it as testing the alliance's red lines. Russia denies targeting Ukraine's neighbours and says European governments are escalating by supplying military aid. NATO says its commitment to defending every member is ironclad and has committed more than $40 billion to counter-drone capabilities over the next five years.

Google has confirmed a new Android feature called Family Hub, described in its November 2026 system update notes as a dedicated space for family management tools inside Settings. It will arrive through Google Play services version 26.43 and bring together family members, shared subscriptions such as Google One storage, YouTube Premium and AI plans, shared calendar events and member locations in one place. Early test versions on Pixel phones showed a new Family entry near the top of Settings. Google has not said which phones will get it first or when, and the rollout through Play services will reach phones gradually, so it may not appear immediately on every device.

Five people, including two children, have been rescued off Fanning Island in Kiribati after about three months drifting at sea in a small boat. The group of nine had set out from Micronesia on July 30 for what should have been a one-hour crossing, but a storm blew their boat off course and it drifted an estimated 5,400 kilometres east. A ten-day search covering 85,700 square kilometres found no trace of them. Villagers found the survivors on Sunday; all five were severely dehydrated and malnourished but are recovering on intravenous treatment. Four people from the boat are still missing, and talks have begun to bring the survivors home.

The King has described the slave trade as a shameful chapter during an address to the Commonwealth, acknowledging a painful part of shared history. The remarks come as Commonwealth nations continue to debate how that history should be recognised and addressed.

Astronomers have found a candidate for a potentially massive dwarf planet hiding far beyond Pluto in the outer solar system. The distant object was picked out in observations of the remote region past Neptune, where only a handful of large bodies are known. Further observations will be needed to confirm its size and orbit before it can be officially classified.

Eating blueberries every day could help reduce depressive symptoms in older adults, according to new research findings. The study points to the berries' natural compounds as a possible reason for the improvement in mood. Researchers say the results add to growing evidence that diet can play a role in supporting mental health in later life, though larger studies are still needed.

Iran's parliament speaker warned that any further US strategic error would open a new battlefield, after reported US strikes on targets around Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian state media reported explosions on Qeshm and nearby Hengam and Bandar Abbas, while a US official described the limited strikes as defensive, aimed at Iranians using surface-to-air missiles against US assets in the strait. Iran said its forces had also downed US drones, and officials warned that a wider conflict could reach US bases in Europe. No formal US confirmation of the Qeshm strike has been issued.

Google says a fix for severe Pixel Watch battery drain is now rolling out and will reach users over the next couple of days. The fix comes as app updates through the Play Store on the watch, not as a full system update: owners should open the Play Store, go to Manage apps and tap Update all. The company says only a small number of users were affected, though reports spanned several Pixel Watch generations, with some watches falling to around 12 hours of battery life. Google has not named the app behind the drain.
