The US Secret Service needs more help, President Joe Biden said on Monday after an apparent assassination attempt on Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump was thwarted over the weekend, Reuters reported.

Biden, speaking to reporters, said he did not yet have a full report of the Sunday incident at Trump's Florida golf course and that he was thankful the former president was ok.

Meanwhile, Ryan Routh, the reported suspect in the assassination attempt on Trump, has entered a federal courtroom in West Bank Palm Beach, Florida, a CNN reporter said on social media.
Routh was wearing dark prison scrubs and his hands and feet were shackled, the reporter said.

Germany will provide an additional 100 million euros ($111 million) in aid for Ukraine this winter, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock announced during a visit to Moldova on Tuesday.
Russia is once again planning a "winter war with the aim of making the lives of people in Ukraine as terrible as possible,” Baerbock said ahead of a ministerial conference in Chisinau.
Russia has launched waves of attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure such as power stations, at times causing rolling blackouts in parts of the country.
In June, Kyiv said more air defenses were needed to allow repairs to infrastructure in order to secure demand for winter, when power demand is at its highest as temperatures drop far below zero.
