Trump Meets Qatar PM on Iran

· Fact-checked before it aired. Unconfirmed claims from this segment are not shown.

Pope Leo XIV arrived in Buenos Aires on Sunday afternoon, November 8, after his stop in Uruguay, beginning a four-day Argentina visit as part of a 12-day South America tour. President Javier Milei greeted him at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery International Airport with military honors, national anthems, and a floral offering. On Monday, the Pope is scheduled to visit the Cottolengo Don Orione, a Catholic-run home for disabled people in Claypole, near Buenos Aires.

The visit has become a political flashpoint. It is the first papal visit to Argentina in nearly four decades, and it comes amid friction between the Vatican and Milei over austerity cuts, reductions to disability assistance, and Milei's support for the Iran war. In his first speech in Argentina, Leo said: “The economy must serve the person, not the person the economy,” a not-so-subtle criticism of Milei's libertarian approach.

What the hosts said

BTrump sits down with Qatar's prime minister tomorrow. Iran is back on the table.
BThe Associated Press posted on X that Qatar is pushing new proposals in the nuclear standoff.
BQatar. Hosts Hamas political leaders and shares a gas field with Iran.
BWhich is exactly why it can carry a message to Tehran.
BCarrying a message is one thing. Shaping a deal is another.
BThe White House knows that. The meeting is happening because the proposals moved.
BI don't love outsourcing Iran policy to a country that plays both sides.
BEvery mediator plays both sides. That's the entire job.
BThere's a difference between neutral and double-dealing.
BYou want perfect purity, you get no talks at all.
BI'm not saying no talks. I'm saying don't let Doha set the terms.
BDoha isn't setting terms. It's carrying them.
BIn diplomacy, the messenger edits the message.
BSometimes the messenger is the only one Tehran will take a call from.
BThat's a reason to use them, not to trust them.
BA meeting isn't a deal. We'll see what comes out of it.
BDifferent world, and a wild one. Reuters posted on X about a digital bank collapse that may have just toppled Paraguay's president.
BThat's a huge headline.
BIt sounds like a thriller, but the reporting so far says the bank failed and the president fell.
BReuters is citing sources, so the details are still unverified.
BRight. Until they confirm the specifics, that's where it stays.
BStill, just imagine the speed. A digital bank run doesn't need a line outside the door.
BConfidence dies at app speed.
BWhich also means rumors can do more damage than actual balance sheets.
BSo you're defending the bank?
BI'm saying we don't know if it was insolvent or just a target of panic.
BA president reportedly lost his job over it. Solvent or not, that's damage.
BThat's my point. Political blame moved faster than the facts.
BOkay, that's fair. The politics outran the accounting.
BAnd Paraguay's economy is small enough that one institution can shake the whole state.
BThat's the real warning. Trust is fragile everywhere.
BAnd digital trust moves even faster than money.
BThat's why this story isn't as far away as it sounds.
BWe'll keep on it.
BAnd speaking of fragile—Reuters on X says production is suspended at Iraq's Khor Mor gas field after a drone attack.
BThey're citing sources, not an official statement. But that's a major field in Kurdistan.
BIf confirmed, that's a direct hit on local electricity.
BAnd it comes right after the U.S. and Iraq reached understandings on oil through Hormuz.
BSomeone clearly doesn't want that progress to hold.
BThe silence after an attack like this is usually its own message.
BWe'll watch for who claims it or who deliberately doesn't.
BEither way, the region just got more tense.
BAnd away from the tension, India is celebrating Diwali.
BAl Jazeera English posted on X—prayers, lights, fireworks across the country.
BThe festival of lights is one of the biggest Hindu celebrations of the year.
BNice to close with something that isn't a crisis.
BTo everyone marking it, a bright and safe celebration.
