Trump sends envoys to Russia, A crucial state election in Germany, Super El Nino, and more

Since returning to The White House, U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed he would end the Russia-Ukraine war, quickly. In his latest effort to broker a peace deal, Trump has dispatched two envoys to meet with the leaders of both countries.

Also: Since the end of the Second World War, there's been a widely held belief in Germany - that the far right must never be allowed to take power again.

The Alternative for Germany party is poised to form government there. You'll hear what local residents on both sides think of that possibility.

And: Scientists warn a super-sized El Niño could throw the world's weather into disarray well into 2027. We haven't even begun to feel the effects in Canada yet - but they could manifest within the next few months as the country enters the winter season.
