Between 1 November 2023 and 31 May 2024 — estimated from Telegram’s id allocation, not measured. How this range is calculated.
Other / unclassifiable — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (qwen3.6:35b-a3b, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 19 October 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 91% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and the other topics.
Growth
28 measurements spanning 34 days, net -255. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 14,637–14,968 and does not start at zero.

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views — note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 8 November 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. Below Telegram’s rounding threshold, so these counts are exact.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 26 of the 26 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 826 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 26 most recent posts we hold, published 8 October 2026 to 8 November 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
Recent posts
Telegram’s own ‘edited’ marker: 0 of 25 posts held from the last 30 days (0%) carried it when this register last read them. The marker says a post was changed after publishing, not what it said before — this register holds the earlier wording only where an edit fell between two of its own reads (see the edit ledger and how it is measured).
The U.S. military has disabled another vessel attempting to breach its naval blockade of Iran, ABC News reports in its live coverage of the war. No details on the ship, its flag, or its cargo were included in the headline summary.
The incident comes more than eight months after President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28 - and shows the conflict has shifted from airstrikes to e…
Iran has begun distributing iodine tablets to people living near its nuclear facilities, according to a report by the Times of India - a precaution against radiation exposure should the sites be hit. The move comes as the Trump administration is reportedly discussing renewed military action aimed at setting back Iran's nuclear program.
The report also notes that Iraq's leadership has voiced concern about any strikes…
President Trump is asking allies about the standing of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, The Hill reports, citing two sources familiar with the discussions. Critics inside the administration blame Hegseth for helping push Trump into the Iran war - a conflict they say contributed to the heavy Republican losses in Tuesday's midterms.
The reporting does not point to a decision. Asking around is not the same as preparing …
Vice President J.D. Vance is blaming the war with Iran - and Israel - for the Republican losses in this week's midterms, according to a column by Nick Catoggio in The Dispatch. Catoggio's argument is that this keeps the administration's own choices out of the frame.
The framing sits awkwardly with the data available so far. A poll of 800 Jewish voters, conducted October 28 to November 3 for a liberal Jewish Middle E…
The day's main stories:
- Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress in the midterms, and the New York Post reports they are on track for a 56-seat Senate majority. The result is a rebuke of the Trump administration and shifts the balance of power in Washington for the next two years.
- Wall Street rose after the results, with the Dow up 2% and the Nasdaq and S&P 500 each up more than 1% at the open, accordi…
The Hill reports that a series of U.S. military strikes on Iran was carried out with little public disclosure in the run-up to Tuesday's midterm elections, raising questions about transparency. The latest, on Monday, hit Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz - including an anti-aircraft facility on Qeshm Island, a strategically located island in the strait.
The Hill describes the strikes as "reported" and "secret,…
Oil fell sharply Monday on hopes of a breakthrough to end the war with Iran. Brent crude dropped more than 6.5% to as low as 105.55 dollars a barrel - the lowest since October 16, according to The Guardian - sending airline shares higher and pulling down government borrowing costs.
The FT reports that the decline extended after Iran's president said the supreme leader had given officials certain authority over talks…
Iran says it is holding "intensive" indirect talks with the United States aimed at preventing a new round of American strikes, France 24 reports. Foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said Tehran has outlined a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz - but only if Washington meets Iran's demands. The report did not specify what those demands are.
The timing is notable: the talks are unfolding on the eve of the U…
President Donald Trump said the US may renew strikes against Iran, telling a rally in Florida, "We may do another little Epic Fury," according to the Jerusalem Post. He did not elaborate on timing, targets, or what would trigger a new round.
"Epic Fury" appears to refer to the earlier US military campaign against Iran, and calling a repeat "little" fits Trump's habit of presenting force as limited and controlled - t…
A U.S. strike on Iran this weekend is possible, Tom Barrack, the U.S. ambassador to Turkey, said in a podcast interview with host Mario Nawfal, as reported by The Hindu. "Could there be a strike this weekend? Absolutely," he said.
The remark carries limited weight on its own - Barrack is the administration's point man on Syria and, according to The Hindu, has no direct role on Iran. Nothing in the report points to a…
The board overseeing the NIH Clinical Center warns that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s planned vaccine injury clinic could damage the research hospital itself, Ars Technica reports.
Board chair Jack Leslie put the concern in terms of reputation rather than medicine: "Trust is slow to build and quick to lose." The Clinical Center treats patients enrolled in federal studies, so its credibility with participa…
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered preparations for a broad military operation in the West Bank after two Israeli soldiers were killed in a shooting near Hebron on October 23, according to The Times of India. The plan reportedly includes movement restrictions on Palestinians and extensive weapon searches.
The timing matters - Israel votes on October 27, four days after the attack. The report points to pre…

Showing the 12 most recent of 26 posts we hold for @the_news. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
