Israel's genocide in Gaza is approaching the three-year mark ongoing with no sign of stopping.

The Australian Federal Government continues to side with the United States and Israel refusing to acknowledge Palestine's right to autonomy despite informally suggesting a two-state solution.

Israel has killed more than 1,400 Gazans since the so-called ceasefire began in October last year.

Labor aligned with the Liberals and One Nation on September 17th to vote down an independent Senator-initiated Senate inquiry into the Red Lines package which included four proposals that would have ensured Australia's compliance with international law.

Labor still refuses to stop two-way arms trade with Israel allowing for supply of weaponry as well as the Pine Gap spy base continuing to supply intelligence.

Nationwide rallies will be held on October 11th to mark three years of genocide and a vigil for Gaza is happening on Wednesday the 11th at the State Library from 5 to 6pm.

In other news, Brazil's presidential race will go to a second round after the far-right candidate Flavio Bolsonaro beat the incumbent left-wing president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva but failed to secure the outright majority he needed to avoid a runoff.

With 99.9% of votes counted, the 45-year-old son of disgraced former president Jair Bolsonaro had won 47% while Lula received 45.1%.

80-year-old Lula of the Workers' Party was previously president from 2003 to 2010 and wants to continue his social programs aimed at addressing inequality.

Bolsonaro of the Liberal Party has promised a hard stance on crime and insecurity.

The 45-year-old has pledged close collaboration with the United States under Donald Trump.

Meanwhile, in Bosnia Herzegovina, Bosnian Serb nationalist politician Milorad Dodik has declared victory for his party in an election in Bosnia shaped by economic pressures, the prospect of the Balkan nation joining the European Union and ethnic tensions.

Formerly the president of the country's Serb majority entity of Republika Srpska, Dodik was banned from holding public office after being convicted last year of defying decisions by the international envoy overseeing the 1995 peace agreement that ended the war.

Bosnia's complex web of governing institutions was created by a United States brokered peace agreement in 1995 in an effort to manage the ethnic divisions between Muslim Bosnians, Orthodox Serbs and Catholic Croats that gave rise to the 1992 to 1995 war.

Also in the news, tens of thousands of people have rallied across Spain as protests have spread since the conservative-dominated parliament rejected a bill proposing measures to tackle a housing crisis.

Parliament on Friday voted down two decrees proposed by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's minority left-wing coalition government that were intended to address the housing crisis.

The protests erupted late last month after an 87-year-old woman was evicted from her home of 70 years in the capital of Madrid.

María del Carmen Abascal's eviction came after an international investment fund bought her building and hiked up the rent.

Meanwhile, student protests in France have resulted in plans to fully or partially close up to 500 schools.

Education Minister Édouard Geffray announced the precautionary measures on Sunday as student protesters announced they plan to resume demonstrations early in the week.

At least 170 students and 78 educational personnel have been injured since the student demos first erupted in the Paris region in mid-September.

Teachers and students first mobilised at a high school in a Paris suburb on 17th of September over a lack of teaching staff, excessive school day hours and other grievances.

The protests have since spread nationwide, resulting in class strikes, blockades and demonstrations.

This comes as India's youth-led cockroach movement kicked off more nationwide protests on Friday as thousands of people gathered in Mumbai amid mounting concerns that millions of citizens are being unfairly stripped of their vote.
