Diplomacy, sea and cities: the five stories shaping the day. 1. Türkiye: The British Consulate General in Istanbul is inviting young people aged 18 to 24 living in Türkiye to enter a competition with an essay of up to 250 words or a video of up to 2 minutes on the change they want to see in the world by 2027. Entries close on 22 November 2026, and the winner will shadow the Consul General for a day. 2. Oman: A tanker was attacked with explosives off Oman in the Strait of Hormuz, according to UKMTO.

Colombia: A Barranquilla judge ordered the preventive confinement of Cleiver Jesús Pérez Sánchez, alias Cleiver, charged with aggravated conspiracy, terrorism, and carrying restricted weapons, for his alleged role in placing ELN cylinders and flags in Barranquilla and Soledad.
