      <description><![CDATA[US Vice President JD Vance attributed the Republican Party's losses in the 2026 midterm elections primarily to voter dissatisfaction over the ongoing Iran war, citing internal data showing many 2024 Trump supporters switched to Democrats. He identified four key issues driving this shift: the Iran conflict, rising living costs, the America First agenda, and US relations with Israel. President Donald Trump acknowledged the war's impact but defended the military action. Iranian officials criticized Vance's remarks, accusing the US administration of prioritizing Israel's interests. Vance is reportedly seeking to build a new political alliance ahead of the 2028 presidential race.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The Supreme Court ruled that the 24-hour period to produce an arrested person before a magistrate begins from the moment their liberty is curtailed, not from the formal arrest time. The court rejected any artificial distinction between detention and arrest, emphasizing that only travel time to the magistrate can be excluded from this period. Detaining authorities must ensure custody remains reasonable, and failure to produce the accused within 24 hours mandates immediate release. The ruling disapproved earlier high court decisions allowing pre-arrest detention to be excluded.]]></description>
