Burevestnik stayed in air for 15 hours, defence minister tells Vladimir Putin; Ukrainian drones close Moscow airports. What we know on day 1,342

• See all our Ukraine war coverage

Vladimir Putin claimed Russia had successfully tested its Burevestnik cruise missile – said to be both powered by a nuclear engine and capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. It has been called a “flying Chornobyl” by arms control experts because it is powered by a nuclear reactor and, depending on the design, potentially spews out radioactive exhaust as it flies.

On the weekend, Russia’s top general, Valery Gerasimov, told Putin the missile travelled 14,000km (8,700 miles) and was in the air for about 15 hours when it was tested on 21 October. The Burevestnik has been dubbed the SSC-X-9 Skyfall by Nato. Russia has regularly threatened that the Ukraine war could go nuclear, for example if allies join Ukraine on the battlefield or provide it with long-range strike weapons as they have done.

A major nuclear accident in August 2019 killed five Russian scientists who were suspected to have been working on the Burevestnik or something similar. The incident released radiation into surrounding areas. That November, awarding posthumous decorations to the victims’ families, Putin said they had been working on an “unparalleled” weapon.

Ukrainian drones forced the closure of Moscow’s Domodedovo airport and the smaller Zhukovsky airport, Russian authorities said early on Monday. Russian defence units downed 28 drones from Sunday night into Monday morning, said the mayor of the Russian capital, Sergei Sobyanin. There was no information about damage. Russia rarely discloses the full scale of damage inflicted by Ukrainian strikes inside its territory unless civilian objects are involved. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine. Kyiv has said that its attacks aim to destroy infrastructure key to Moscow’s war effort.

US sanctions on Russia’s oil industry had an immediate effect, writes Jill Ambrose. Within hours, there was a 6% rise in the global oil price and reports were emerging of an immediate pause of Russian oil deliveries to the biggest refineries in India, Moscow’s biggest crude customer, and to China’s biggest state-owned oil companies. Luke Wickenden, an analyst at the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (Crea), said: “If Moscow lost access to these markets, it could forfeit approximately $7.4bn in monthly revenue, translating to roughly $3.6bn in tax receipts per month flowing directly into the Kremlin’s war chest … If India alone were to cut its imports of Russian crude, the Kremlin could lose roughly $1.6bn in monthly tax revenues.”

Putin’s top economic envoy has attempted to blame others after US-Russia relations chilled, the US imposed sanctions and Donald Trump cancelled a foreshadowed meeting in Budapest with the Russian ruler. Kirill Dmitriev alleged there had been “titanic attempts” to thwart US-Russia dialogue as he arrived in the US to meet members of the Trump administration. Trump initially gave a glowing assessment of his most recent conversation with Putin and said they would meet in Budapest. But a few days later, as Putin showed no sign of making concessions to end the war, Trump said the meeting would be a “waste of time” and he was personally disappointed at the Russian president.

The result falls short of giving Milei a congressional majority but has been widely described as surprising by Argentinian analysts

The party of Argentina’s far-right president, Javier Milei, has won Sunday’s midterm elections after a campaign in which US president Donald Trump announced a $40bn bailout for the country and made continued aid conditional on the victory of his Argentinian counterpart.

With more than 95% of ballots counted, Milei’s party, La Libertad Avanza, won 40.84% of the nationwide vote in an election widely seen as a de facto referendum on the self-styled anarcho-capitalist’s nearly two years in power.

When Microsoft told customers it was jacking up the price by 45% for its office suite, it gave them two options: accept the price for the product – and its AI add-ons – or cancel.

According to Australia’s consumer watchdog, the tech giant allegedly failed to share that a third option was available – pay the same lower price and opt out of the AI, named Copilot, in Microsoft 365.

US treasury secretary anticipates tariff truce with China will be extended, and that China will revive substantial purchases of US soybeans

The US and China have agreed a framework for a trade deal just days before Donald Trump and Chines president Xi Jinping are due to meet.

Treasury secretary Scott Bessent said the agreement, forged on the sidelines of the Association of south-east Asian Nations (Asean) summit in Malaysia on Sunday, would remove the threat of the imposition of 100% tariffs on Chinese imports starting on 1 November and include “a final deal” on the sale of TikTok in the US.

As Cop30 approaches, a new report makes it clear the survival of isolated tribes is under threat as protections are eroded. It’s time our countries fulfilled their obligations to defend Indigenous people

A new report published on Monday by the NGO Survival International reveals 196 uncontacted Indigenous groups across 10 countries in South America, Asia, and the Pacific, according to a five-year study titled Uncontacted peoples: At the edge of survival. Half of these groups – tens of thousands of people – face extinction within a decade due to industrial activity, criminal gangs and missionary incursions, with logging, mining and agribusiness cited as the primary threats.

The report also warns that even indirect contact, such as disease spread by outsiders, could devastate populations, while the climate crisis and illegal activities further endanger their survival.

• Leclerc second; Verstappen third and Piastri fifth

• Norris now one point clear in championship battle

If timing is key in any race, Lando Norris might just have taken the bell with absolutely impeccable judgment. His victory at the Mexico City Grand Prix with a consummate drive from pole to flag has catapulted him into the lead of an intense title fight at exactly the right moment. Norris has momentum at the very point the championship enters its decisive phase.

With his title rivals Oscar Piastri – Norris’s McLaren teammate – managing only fifth and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen third at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, Norris has the edge at a crucial juncture with four meetings remaining. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc finished in second, while Britain’s Oliver Bearman took a career-best fourth place with a superb drive for Haas.

This ghost-hunting docuseries around various ‘haunted’ locations is a deeply flimsy premise. But you cannot fake the kind of chemistry this brother and sister have

The last time I reviewed something with Charlie Cooper in as “himself”, he, or “he”, was visiting folkloric hotspots around the British Isles as the presenter of Myth Country. I was beguiled by the impossibility of identifying where his most famous creation, Kurtan, in the brilliant, heartbreaking comedy This Country, written by Charlie and his sister Daisy May, left off and the real Cooper began. Or, if you prefer, where the real Cooper left off and Kurtan began. What were we to make of him listening with apparently genuine delight on his face to a man playing an old local tune on a recorder before announcing with perfect Kurtanish sensibility and timing that it was because: “In the wrong hands, it’s murder”? He watched with admiration as a friend with a divining rod approached and re-approached some ancient stones near – but, crucially not actually part of – the historic Avebury site of neolithic monuments. “I dread to think how long he’d be here doing that,” Cooper/Kurtan whispered to camera. “He’s light years ahead of his time.” Then a quintessentially Kurtanish worried pause. “Or light years behind his time.”

I have pondered Fractal Cooper – genius? Poet? Muppet who’s right twice a day? – in many a quiet moment since. So I welcomed the chance to dwell with him awhile again in Daisy May and Charlie Cooper’s NightWatch, a slice of Halloween schedule-filler in which he and Daisy – who plays Kurtan’s more, uh, limited cousin Kerry in the sitcom – spend the night in different spooky locations in the hope of being visited by ghosts, an ambition they have shared since their Ouija board-playing games as children. And while I cannot say yet that I have the measure of the man, whose essence is perhaps as uncapturable as the spectres they seek, it becomes possible to conjecture that there are at least two threads running through both artist and invention.

Nightwatch aired on BBC Two and is available on iPlayer.

Judge of prestigious award says two best collection winners ‘address the urgent challenges of our time’

Vidyan Ravinthiran and Karen Solie have been named joint winners of this year’s Forward prize for best collection, one of the UK’s most prestigious poetry awards, marking the first time in the prize’s history the honour has been shared.

Ravinthiran, who was born in Leeds to Sri Lankan Tamil parents and now lives in the US, was recognised for Avidyā. The collection is described as having emerged from “journeys of great personal significance, and out of a migrant sensibility tied to three different countries”. The Canadian poet Solie shared the prize for Wellwater, a “self-interrogative conversation with a culture in crisis and a natural world on the brink”.

Trump ally Laura Loomer took credit for Sami Hamdi’s detainment in move denounced as ‘affront to free speech’

British journalist Sami Hamdi was reportedly detained on Sunday morning by federal immigration authorities at San Francisco international airport, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) says that action is apparent retaliation for the Muslim political commentator’s criticism of Israel while touring the US.

A statement from Cair said it was “a blatant affront to free speech” to detain Hamdi for criticizing Israel’s ongoing military campaign in Gaza while he engaged on a speaking tour in the US. A Trump administration official added in a separate statement that Hamdi is facing deportation.

• Manager says City in title hunt despite six-point gap

• Erling Haaland’s injury not expected to be serious

Pep Guardiola said it was too early for Manchester City to fret about Arsenal’s superb start to the Premier League season, and that his team were alive in their pursuit of reclaiming the title despite a 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa on Sunday.

City trail Arsenal by six points after nine games but Guardiola is relaxed about the gap. “We have to try to close [it], Arsenal have been solid for many years, this time the concern is how we can improve – better, better, better – and to be close,” the City manager said.

Mikel Arteta hailed Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace as the most valuable of the season after seeing his side open up a four-point lead at the Premier League’s summit.

In what was a nervous Sunday afternoon at the Emirates Stadium, Eberechi Eze’s powerful first-half shot against his former club proved to be the winner. With Liverpool slipping to a fourth straight league defeat at Brentford on Saturday, Arsenal finished the weekend seven points clear of the defending champions.

Book cites Pence’s notes from call with Trump, who called vice-president a ‘wimp’ if he certified Biden’s 2020 victory

On the day that his supporters attacked the US Capitol because his 2020 re-election run ended in defeat, Donald Trump called his vice-president at the time, Mike Pence, and told him he would go down in history as a “wimp” if he certified the election result, a new book says.

Those details were revealed on Sunday when ABC News published a preview excerpt of an upcoming book by its political correspondent Jonathan Karl. The book, titled Retribution, cites Pence’s notes from the 6 January 2021 phone call with Trump, who was purportedly trying to shame his vice-president into refusing to certify Joe Biden’s victory weeks earlier in the White House.
