Prabowo Subianto, the former special forces commander, is set to assume the Indonesian presidency after a decisive electoral victory. Garnering nearly 60% of the votes, he focuses on popular policies like free school meals. Subianto's high-profile coalition includes the son of the outgoing leader as his vice president.

Migrants previously held in Albania have been transferred to Italy after an Italian court's ruling thwarted Rome's approach to house migrants outside the EU. Despite the legal setback, the Italian government plans to appeal and advance Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's agenda to redirect asylum seekers.

Cuba is slowly restoring power after a second grid collapse, with priority given to essential services. Meanwhile, Israel continues its aggressive military operations in Lebanon and Gaza in response to Hezbollah's rocket attacks. The Pentagon has shown concern over civilian casualty numbers, urging Israel to scale back the strikes.
