18:24 Uhr Europas Sicherheit auf Putins Verhandlungstisch: 40 Staaten ziehen die rote Linie gegen Moskau

Russland will bei den Friedensverhandlungen über die Ukraine gleich die europäische Sicherheitsordnung mitverhandeln. Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz hat diesem Ansinnen beim EU-Gipfel in Dublin eine klare Absage erteilt. Über die Ukraine werde nicht ohne die Ukraine verhandelt, über Europa nicht ohne Europa. Moskau hatte bereits vor seinem Angriff 2022 verlangt, NATO-Truppen aus jenen Staaten abzuziehen, die dem Bündnis nach 1997 beigetreten waren. Nun versucht der Kreml erneut, Europas Sicherheit zum Gegenstand seiner Forderungen zu machen. 40 europäische Staaten unterzeichneten eine Erklärung, die Entscheidungen über die Sicherheit des Kontinents an die Beteiligung Europas bindet. EU-Außenbeauftragte Kaja Kallas warnte vor einem russischen Ablenkungsmanöver, Lettlands Ministerpräsident Andris Kulbergs bezeichnete die Debatte als Falle. Ausgerechnet während Europa seine Mitsprache verteidigt, bleibt ungeklärt, wer überhaupt für den Kontinent verhandeln soll. US-Unterhändler Jared Kushner hat derweil in Moskau bereits Gespräche über Europas Sicherheitsarchitektur aufgenommen. Europa zieht rote Linien, während andere längst darüber sprechen, wo sie verlaufen sollen.

05:00 AM Global Microsoft Outage Hits Australia's Intelligence Agency and Federal Police: Government Activates Emergency Agreement

A global Microsoft outage also hit Australia's security agencies on Friday, November 13, 2026. The domestic intelligence agency ASIO and the Australian Federal Police confirmed that their systems were affected. Users around the world had been unable to access Microsoft 365, Outlook, and Teams for hours. ASIO Director-General Mike Burgess and Australian Federal Police Commissioner Krissy Barrett confirmed the outages at a joint news conference. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said Microsoft did not believe the outage was caused by a cyberattack. The government activated an existing agreement with Microsoft to ensure Australian agencies would receive priority in restoring services. How long the disruptions would last and which specific security functions were affected remained unclear.

06:00 PM Alaska: Judge Rejects Mary Peltola's Request for Records on Rejected Absentee Ballots

Democratic candidate Mary Peltola has suffered a legal setback in Alaska's fiercely contested U.S. Senate race. On November 11, 2026, Superior Court Judge Thomas Matthews denied her request for the immediate release of records identifying rejected absentee ballots. The state election office is currently busy counting votes and doesn't have the resources to produce the requested report, the judge ruled. Peltola leads Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan by 1.6 percentage points, with 86 percent of the vote counted. If neither candidate wins more than 50 percent, the race will move to a ranked-choice vote count. Democrats have already won majorities in both chambers of Congress and currently hold 55 Senate seats. A victory in Alaska would bring their Senate majority to 56 seats.

05:55 AM COP31 in Antalya: Climate Action Is Now Supposed to Save the Economy

At the COP31 UN Climate Change Conference in Turkey, heads of state and government are trying to sell climate action with a new argument: lower living costs and economic security. UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned that three-quarters of humanity live in countries that import fossil fuels, leaving them exposed to price shocks beyond their control. The Iran war and rising energy prices have made many countries even more economically vulnerable. UN climate chief Simon Stiell said dependence on oil and gas is driving up inflation and household bills. John Kerry is also calling for a new way of talking about climate policy, with greater emphasis on jobs, health, and security. EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen even sees this as a way to win over climate skeptics. Scientific evidence remains the foundation of the negotiations, but economic arguments are now supposed to help build political majorities. The credibility of this new climate promise, however, is likely to be about as substantial as the political debate surrounding it is long: not very.

03:35 PM Fake Court Orders, Real Internet Blocks: Indian Government Blocked 129 Websites Based on Fabricated Rulings

India's government ordered 129 websites blocked after receiving purported court orders that turned out to be forgeries. The documents carried court seals and, in some cases, fake QR codes designed to make them appear authentic. On July 21, the Department of Telecommunications ordered 34 gambling websites blocked, followed by another 95 on September 2. The supposed rulings from the Rajasthan and Allahabad High Courts did not exist in the courts' official records at all. The fraud was only uncovered after journalists started asking questions. The Allahabad High Court filed a criminal complaint on November 6. Police have since opened an investigation against unidentified suspects on suspicion of forgery and fraud. No arrests have been made so far. It remains unclear who created the documents or whether artificial intelligence was used. Particularly troubling: Both forged court orders were still posted on the ministry's official website as of November 11.

02:45 AM Kennedy Family Takes Trump's Triumphal Arch to Court: John F. Kennedy's Grave Could Disappear Into the Shadow of His Grandiose Ego

Several members of the Kennedy family filed a motion Tuesday to join a lawsuit against Donald Trump's planned triumphal arch in Washington. The 250-foot structure, featuring a golden winged female figure and golden eagles, is to be built near Arlington National Cemetery. The family warns that the monumental arch would permanently cast shadows over their relatives' graves and memorials, destroying historic sight lines. A judge has already temporarily blocked construction through November 19. The White House claims Congress authorized the structure more than 100 years ago and says the monument is intended to honor military veterans. Democrats have announced plans to stop the project once they take power in January. Now the family of assassinated President John F. Kennedy has to fight in court to keep Trump from putting his monumental display of self-importance above the memory of America's dead.
