Kim Jong Un’s half-brother was killed with a nerve agent in Kuala Lumpur and his uncle was executed. Meanwhile in Asia looks at the Kim dynasty’s ruthless record, and why succession has always been dangerous.

Hundreds of people were finally able to evacuate and reunite with loved ones after surviving an occupied town in Ukraine for months with little food and supplies, thanks to a ceasefire agreement negotiated by first lady Melania Trump.

Kim Jong Un is calling for “absolute superiority” in drone warfare, putting AI at the center of his military ambitions, and unveiling a giant new stealth-style drone alongside his daughter. CNN’s Will Ripley examines the new weapons, what Pyongyang may be learning from Russia’s war in Ukraine, and the questions surrounding its actual military capabilities.

Pope Leo XIV greeted the men's and women's basketball teams from his alma mater Villanova and their rival Notre Dame in Rome on Saturday for the Eternal City Tip-Off, marking the beginning of college basketball season. CNN's Christopher Lamb reports.

Pope Leo XIV has submitted a mail-in ballot for the US midterms, becoming the first pope to vote in a US election and likely the first to vote in a secular democratic election. CNN's Chris Lamb reports.

Israel faces weeks, possibly months, of political limbo after final results show there’s no clear winner in its elections. Neither of the two main blocs – one led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party, the other led by the centrist Yashar party of his main rival, Gadi Eisenkot – have reached the required 61-seat majority to form a government in Israel’s 120-seat parliament. CNN’s Nic Robertson reports.

Palestinian citizens of Israel – roughly 20 percent of the country’s population – turned out in record numbers at the polls this election. Many said they were driven by an urgent desire to topple Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition. But a majority of Jewish voters oppose partnering with the Arab parties, leaving opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot’s path to victory unclear. CNN's Jeremy Diamond went to the Arab-majority town of Taibeh and spoke to leaders and voters.
