Apparently, russians could have stopped the human safari in Kherson at any moment.
Murdering civilians with FPV drones was always a choice and russians were choosing to kill. So many people would have been alive if russians didn’t choose to kill them.
"Ukrainian Witness" journalist Viktoriia Hnatiuk reached Antonivka-one of the most dangerous settlements in the Kherson region, located on the bank of the Dnipro River opposite occupied Oleshky.
Previously, getting here was virtually impossible due to russian FPV drones. However, during a ceasefire declared to evacuate residents of Oleshky, locals were able to return to their destroyed homes for the first time in a long while to retrieve surviving belongings. Despite the truce, coastal areas remain dangerous due to mines, while Oleshky itself remains under russian occupation on the other side of the Dnipro. While people in Kherson walk the streets, the russians on the opposite bank are quietly conducting rotations and pulling up reinforcements. This silence, a necessary measure to save lives, is also a deadly trap ahead of another russian attempt to cross the Dnipro... People fear what will happen once the ceasefire ends...

Newsmax journalist Shelby Wilder on the situation in Oleshky:
Russia is using this humanitarian operation as a propaganda opportunity.
Moscow wants to portray itself as the rescuer of civilians in a city that it occupies, one it has destroyed and plunged into this humanitarian crisis.
And we need to be clear, Russia controls what we are going to be allowed to see.
Moscow appears to have brought in numerous Russian media compared to just the one American news outlet.
A temporary ceasefire was established in the area of the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky (Kherson region). It began at 3:00 a.m. (4:00 a.m. Moscow time).
According to estimates by the Ukrainian government, between two and six thousand civilians are trapped there under blockade and are suffering from hunger.
Russia's Ministry of Defense stated that in connection with preparations for a "humanitarian operation" in the Oleshky area, it had ceased fire on the Kherson direction and introduced a "silence regime."
The Ukrainian command had previously confirmed the agreement on a temporary ceasefire.
"The silence regime is being established exclusively for the humanitarian operation: delivery of aid to residents currently in the city and preparation for the free movement of the civilian population from Oleshky," the General Staff said in a statement.
"We urge everyone during this period to be especially cautious regarding the information you receive and share... Do not trust unverified reports, and do not spread rumors about the routes, time, and location of the movement of people and humanitarian columns," it noted.
The frontline city has been cut off from food and medicine supplies for many months.
Earlier, the BBC spoke with residents of Russian-occupied Oleshky who described how they are suffering from malnutrition - including boiling soup from weeds - and how dangerous it is to evacuate the city due to mined roads.
Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets, who negotiated with Melania Trump on the Ukrainian side, stated that the operation to rescue people in Oleshky is extremely difficult to implement.
"As part of our agreement, first – a silence regime will be ensured. Second – humanitarian cargo will be delivered to Oleshky. Third – free movement of the civilian population out of Oleshky will be ensured," he said in a video message on Telegram.
Kherson is controlled by Ukraine, while Oleshky was occupied by Russian forces back in 2022. In 2023, most of the city was flooded due to the Russian army's blowing up of the Kakhovka Reservoir dam.

The stand off around Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal is about restoring rule of law to an institution which had been politicised by the populist government which lost power in the election of 2023. Its president repeatedly broke the law by steering politically sensitive cases to hand-picked judges. It failed to pass its own budget,

Over the last three years a new majority of judges was duly elected by parliament and demanded to be able to function. The outgoing president of the tribunal kept blocking them, The most senior judge of the new majority took charge of the tribunal premises and asked the police for protection. Our populist opposition is unfortunately refusing to accept its loss of control over the Tribunal. The democratically elected government will continue to uphold the constitution.

A purported Polish police order, dated 29 Oct and signed by Deputy Police Chief Tomasz Michułka, puts riot units nationwide on full readiness for immediate deployment from 2–8 November, equipped with submachine guns, less-lethal weapons and night-vision gear.
The document has not been officially confirmed and does not mention the Constitutional Tribunal.
