Budapest mayor Gergely Karácsony warned the city risks facing the biggest flood of the decade. Danube water levels are expected to crest at 8.5 metres near the city.

Flood defence measures were taken along 540 kilometres of Hungary’s rivers, with a third-degree alert along 200 kilometres, that is according to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. He adds that he approved the opening of an emergency reservoir along the Leitha river.

Traffic restrictions, implemented as a preventative measure, are said to impact the Gyor-Moson-Sopron and Komárom-Esztergom counties bordering the Danube, as well as areas in the Danube bend area.

International train services between Hungary and Czech Republic, Poland, and Germany will also be affected.

Canadian PM Trudeau says 'there's more work to do' as his party loses long-held seat in Quebec

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party was handed another loss at the ballot box on Monday.

Louis-Philippe Sauvé won on the Bloc Québécois’ ticket to represent LaSalle-Émard-Verdun in parliament against Trudeau’s personally endorsed candidate, Liberal Laura Palestini.

The race was a tight one, with Sauvé taking in 28 percent of the vote. The Bloc Québécois candidate beat the Liberal candidate by less than 250 votes according to Elections Canada results.

“Obviously it would have been nicer to be able to win,” said Trudeau in Ottowa in a press conference Tuesday. “…But there’s more work to do.”

“The big thing is to make sure that Canadians understand the choice they get to make in the next election,” Trudeau added.

Trudeau has held the position of Prime Minister for nine years, meaning the Liberal Party has maintained power in the Canadian parliament for nearly a decade.

In a recent Ipsos poll tracking the “best Prime Minister,” Canadians rate Trudeau at 26%. For comparison, Canada’s Conservative Party PM candidate Pierre Poilievre was given a 45% rating in the same poll.

The Bloc Québécois, which describes itself as “the only party who defends the interests of Quebec,” seeks independence from Canada.

Sauvé, the new Bloc Québécois MP, said “it was a roller coaster night, I had many emotions,” in a press conference.

“But today I’m feeling good. I’m feeling grateful, grateful towards the people in my neighborhood of having chosen me as their MP,” Sauvé added.

Prime Minister Trudeau is up for re-election on October 25, 2025.
