International news — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 10 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 99% 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
52 measurements spanning 83 days, net -1,091. 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 16,748–19,299 and does not start at zero.

Engagement
470 posts held, back to 6 August 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 53 pages of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 470 posts for this entry, the most recent from 2 September 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Video runtime

Measured directly from 91 videos with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.
Reaction mix
79,097 reactions across 468 posts, in 8 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 26.6% of them.

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 468 of the 470 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 79,097 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 470 most recent posts we hold, published 6 August 2026 to 2 September 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.
🚀September 2 Brief: Pressure Moves Inland
1️⃣Brussels: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the EU would increase pressure on Russia and prepare additional sanctions after Germany blamed Moscow for an attempted drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport in August. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte joined the warning. Moscow rejected the charge and summoned Germany’s chargé d’affaires.

🪖🪓September 30: Baghdad’s Armed Deadline
On September 2, Akram al-Kaabi, secretary-general of the Iran-backed Iraqi militia Harakat al-Nujaba, threatened to attack any U.S. troops still in Iraq after September 30. “If even one soldier remains after that date, we will not let him return safely and will send him back as a corpse,” he said.
Kaabi framed September 30 as the deadline for a complete U.S. and coalition wi…
🪬Trump’s Face Enters Circulation
On September 2, the U.S. Mint began selling and circulating a $1 coin bearing Donald Trump’s portrait to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence.
The Mint put rolls of 25 coins on sale for $61 and 100-coin bags for $154.50. Each coin still carries a face value of $1 and is legal tender, but buyers pay $1.55 to $2.44 per piece for the commemorative package.
The obverse s…
✨🔥Brush Fire Halts Central Trains
On the evening of September 2, a brush fire broke out on both banks of the Yarkon River in Ramat Gan, between Ramat Gan Stadium and the training ground behind Ayalon Mall, near the Maccabiah Bridge.
Seven Dan District firefighting and rescue crews deployed across several fronts as dry brush and vegetation drove the fire along both riverbanks. Fire and Rescue Services asked the publ…
🙏🪖Draft Enforcement Reaches Home
On September 2, dozens of ultra-Orthodox protesters gathered outside the Jerusalem home of Superintendent Haim Shmueli, head of the Israel Police Traffic Division. They protested the arrest of Haredi draft evaders.
The protest followed a day of intensified enforcement at Ben Gurion Airport, where security personnel intercepted six Haredi draft evaders attempting to leave Israel. Two…
👥A Tweet Becomes a Police Case
On September 2, Tel Aviv police questioned a 27-year-old city resident on suspicion of incitement to violence against Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana. The suspect was released under restrictive conditions, the investigation remains open.
The case began after Ohana posted photos of stickers bearing his face, colored red, with the words “No Atonement,” placed along the route to his children’…
🙏⚔️Election Law Meets Shas Machinery
On September 2, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara reaffirmed that a government-funded memorial conference for Rabbi Ovadia Yosef cannot take place before Israel’s October 27 election.
Shas called the decision provocative and said it would appeal to the Central Elections Committee. The party’s grievance is obvious.
State money cannot finance a polished mass event around its fo…

Showing the 12 most recent of 470 posts we hold for @Burning_Babylon. 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.
Posts edited after publishing
@Burning_Babylon edited 1 post after it first published — the same permalink now carries different wording than the one this register originally read, caught because our own crawl held a copy of the earlier text.
An edit is not deception. Typo fixes, price updates and corrections look exactly like this too — this register can tell you the wording changed and when, not why. How this is measured.

Forward network
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Mentions
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
