Episode of November 2, 2026

Paula Reid's new title at MS NOW is Chief White House Reporter, based in the network's Washington bureau. MS NOW confirmed the hire on Thursday, October 29, 2026 (Deadline published the story that morning at 7:05 a.m.; the network's PR account announced it the same day), with her first day that Thursday. She will cover the Trump administration and serve as a key reporting voice across the Washington bureau, helping drive investigative and enterprise journalism, working alongside White House director Scott Foster and reporters Vaughn Hillyard, Laura Barrón-López, Akayla Gardner and Jake Traylor. She joined after five years at CNN, where she was chief legal affairs correspondent.

The company is Twentytwo Films Limited (UK company no. 16670076, incorporated 25 Aug 2025, film/TV production), which Callum Turner set up with his partner Dua Lipa — both were appointed directors and persons with significant control on day one. Companies House/OpenCorporates records show Turner is now the company's sole "inactive" officer and Lipa alone controls it (share ownership, voting rights, right to appoint/remove directors), i.e. he stepped down as a director and gave up his stake in a corporate tidy-up (filings around December 2025) — not a dramatic "quitting" tied to Bond. Nothing has been officially confirmed about 007: Amazon MGM has named no actor, title, release date or filming start; the only confirmed Bond 26 team is director Denis Villeneuve, writer Steven Knight and producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman, with late-October screen tests reported by Deadline/Variety/THR but unconfirmed by the studio. Non-paywalled sources: thejamesbonddossier.com/films/bond-26.htm (updated 2 Nov 2026) and find-and-update.company-information.servi…; note the Showbiz411 piece is explicitly a columnist's "our take" (including the Dua Lipa th

Jesús de Miguel collapsed and was carried off unconscious in an ambulance during Tenerife's home game with FC Andorra, which was abandoned in the 97th minute at 2-2 in front of 13,018 fans. AS reports he suffered a cardiac arrest ("paro cardiaco") after a collision with Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono, and quotes the referee's match report describing an opponent going in "bruscamente con su pierna en alto... con uso de fuerza excesiva" (a high leg with excessive force); Marca headlined that he was admitted to intensive care after the clash. The club's official statement ("Comunicado oficial: Jesús de Miguel") says he is in the ICU of the Hospital Universitario Nuestra Señora de Candelaria and is "estable dentro de la gravedad" — stable but serious — with the club saying it will pass on further medical updates when they come. Andorra marked the fixture "abandonat" and headlined their match report "El partit i el resultat, el de menys" (the game and the result are the least of it) — all as of the evening of Monday 2 November 2026; no later prognosis had been published.

The 2026 Melbourne Cup is race 7 of 10 at Flemington on Tuesday Nov 3, starting 3:00pm AEDT (Vic, NSW, Tas, ACT) — equal to 2:00pm AEST in Queensland, 2:30pm ACDT in SA, 1:30pm ACST in the NT and 12:00pm AWST in WA (ABC News). Weather: the heavy rain hits Monday (BOM forecast 3–15 mm), and Cup Day itself is fine and cloudy with only a slight chance of a light morning shower, max 17°C and southerly winds 15–25 km/h; Weatherzone's BOM-derived Melbourne forecast agrees (cloudy, 30% chance of morning showers, under 1 mm, 14–18°C). The Flemington track was rated a Good 4 at 9:00am Monday with the rail out 3m the entire circuit — note that is a Monday rating, so recheck on race morning. Important: no source I read mentions flash floods for Cup Day; the stormy weather is Monday's, with conditions clearing Tuesday afternoon, so the brief overstates the threat.

Per NWS Fort Worth's Area Forecast Discussion (2:25 PM CST Mon Nov 2, 2026): "A line of strong to severe storms is expected to move across North and Central TX this evening and tonight," with the key message that the "Main threats are damaging wind gusts and a tornado or two. Large hail is also possible with discrete storms this evening in western North TX." Timing: the squall line "will propagate eastward across the region tonight, passing through the DFW Metroplex around 10 pm to 1 am," with storms exiting East Texas by mid-morning Tuesday; NWS notes that if storms stay discrete they "would be supercellular in nature and capable of all hazards, including large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes," with a few embedded weak tornadoes possible on the northern end of bowing segments. No watches or warnings are in effect for Dallas: NWS's active-alerts feed for Dallas County (TXZ119) and for the DFW point 32.92/-97.03 returned zero alerts at 3:18 PM CST. The only local Tornado Watch (issued by NWS Norman OK at 1:27 PM, until 10:00 PM CST) covers Oklahoma and far-north Texas counties (Archer, Baylor, Clay, Foard, Hardeman, Knox, Wichita, Wilbarger) — Dallas County is not included. Note

There were actually two separate Austin Reed signings. On Aug. 12, 2026 the Ravens signed Reed as a free agent to the active roster after QB Skylar Thompson — who had missed practice Sunday and Tuesday — was placed on injured reserve, adding him behind Lamar Jackson, Tyler Huntley and undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano (Reed was then waived at final cuts on Aug. 30). On Nov. 2, 2026 the Ravens re-signed Reed to the practice squad because of injuries to Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler "Snoop" Huntley (toe), releasing FB Lucas Scott from the practice squad in the corresponding move. The team's write-up framed it as bringing back "a familiar face" on a short week who "played well in the preseason"; no direct coach quotes appeared in the transaction stories.

Sporting Cristal vs FC Cajamarca (Liga 1, Torneo Clausura 2026) kicks off on Monday 2 November 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Peruvian time (PET, UTC-5), which is 8:30 p.m. UK time (GMT, since British Summer Time ended on 25 October 2026). It is shown live in Peru on L1 MAX (Liga 1 MAX), with streaming on L1 Play.

Recommended read: Global News (globalnews.ca/news/12129789/osap-applications-ip-address/), the only one of the three candidates that loaded free and unobstructed for me — no paywall, no bot wall. It carries the full Canadian Press account: the ministry alleges 3,136 of 6,001 applications (52%) at Academy of Learning's Brampton East campus, 3,460 of 6,070 (57%) at North York and 1,736 of 6,966 (25%) at Toronto's Bay Street campus came from single IP addresses in 2025-26, alongside 220+ tips since January 2024 alleging recruiters submitted applications, uploaded documents and completed coursework for students; the colleges deny wrongdoing, all three campuses have been barred from OSAP eligibility, and the province has ordered an independent audit and referred sector-wide concerns to the OPP (allegations unproven in court). Caveat: Global's page is cluttered by a large comment thread that crowds the story text. CBC's article timed out on three separate attempts and was never readable, and insauga returned an HTTP 403 Cloudflare "Just a moment..." bot challenge, so neither could be fairly assessed.

Use CNBC's live-updates page (cnbc.com/2026/11/02/apple-aapl-q4-2026-ea…): it is free and fully readable with no paywall, and it is a dedicated live blog covering both the after-the-bell release and the 5 p.m. ET call, already carrying consensus figures ($1.99 EPS, $113.39B revenue, $56.59B iPhone sales) and set up to post the actual results and Ternus's remarks. Apple's Investor Relations page is blocked by a Cloudflare bot wall (HTTP 403 "Just a moment..."), MarketBeat shows only estimates and a listen link (listing the call at 6 p.m. ET vs. CNBC's 5 p.m.), and AppleScoop is a free but preview-only piece whose numbers are explicitly expectations. Caveat: at the 4:08 p.m. ET snapshot I read, the actual reported numbers had not yet posted on any candidate page.
