10.09.2025 โข The day Charlie Kirk was assassinated in Utah
โจThe day began with ongoing reports concerning Israel's strike in Qatar and the Peter Mandelson/Jeffrey Epstein allegations, which continued from previous days. By early morning, a major new international story emerged as Poland shot down Russian drones that violated its airspace during an attack on Ukraine, marking a direct engagement between a NATO member and Russian forces. This quickly escalated, with Poland invoking NATO Article 4 and warning of being closer to conflict than at any time since World War Two. The UK and NATO condemned Russia's actions, while Russia claimed the incursions were unintentional. In the afternoon, Prince Harry met King Charles for a 55-minute private meeting, offering a significant domestic focus. However, late in the evening, news broke of the shooting and subsequent assassination of prominent US right-wing activist Charlie Kirk in Utah. This event, and the later reports of a suspect in custody, became the dominant story, overshadowing other developments.
