Americans went to the polls for the US midterm elections on Tuesday, a story that led Euronews's evening news bulletin on Nov. 3 alongside a reported US strike on Iran's Qeshm Island ahead of the vote.
Euronews's headlines also include flash floods in the US Southwest that swept away homes and cars, and dashcam footage of a deadly private jet crash in Florida. The broadcaster has published explainers on the midterms and on when results will be known, as well as a piece on the races it says will decide the outcome.
In Europe, Euronews held an enlargement summit in Brussels, where leaders met as EU expansion reached what the broadcaster called a turning point. Its coverage includes a statement from Podgorica's representative that Montenegro joining the EU by 2028 is "very realistic", and an assertion from Kyiv's ambassador that Hungary is not blocking Ukraine's accession talks. Ukraine's prime minister told Euronews his country rejects permanent curbs on farm exports after joining the EU.
In Portugal, housing protesters hailed a court win, though Euronews reports the ruling limits tents to one activist. Tents have returned to a Lisbon square. In Madrid, city authorities said police dismantled a housing cost protest camp in the centre of the city.
Business headlines include Lufthansa facing a €2 billion extra fuel bill as the Iran war keeps prices high, and Apple's earnings beating expectations while rising chip costs worry investors. Euronews also reports that eurozone countries have picked nominees to succeed Lagarde at the European Central Bank, and that global travel is set to reach a record 1.57 billion arrivals in 2026, with European arrivals up 5 per cent.
