# PBS News Hour full episode, Oct. 30, 2026

Free with YouTube's ads, posted by PBS NewsHour.

Friday on the News Hour, Republicans continue to cry foul in Alaska's Senate race while early voting surges across the country. Six billion dollars hacked in 20 minutes, a record theft involving the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchange puts investors on edge. Plus, we visit a Ukrainian village hit by a Russian drone attack, in part because of the slowdown to Elon Musk's Starlink system.

Corrections: A graphic incorrectly identified Rep. Rob Bresnahan's party. He is a Republican. A graphic incorrectly identified Serhii Matviiuk as the father of a Russian strike victim. He is her husband. We regret the error.
