"My view is, 'Don't put your head in the sand.' It is what it is. We're going to deploy it. Will it eliminate jobs? Yes. Will it change jobs? Yes. Will it add some jobs? Probably. It is what it is," said Dimon. "However, I do think it may go too fast for society. And if it goes too fast for society, that's where government and business in a collaborative [need to] way step in together and come up with a way to retrain people or move it over time."
Iran's national currency, the rial, has completely collapsed against the U.S. dollar as the country's economic crisis worsens. The value of one rial is now worth $0.00 right now. On the open market, one U.S. dollar now trades for roughly 1.4 million rials, a collapse that has erased decades of purchasing power and fueled widespread unrest. The currency's plunge isn't new, but the pace of decline in 2025 and early 2026 has been dramatic.
The left branded the ICE agent a "rogue officer" who executed a U.S. citizen during a federal immigration crackdown that never should have happened in the first place. The right labeled the slain driver as a "domestic terrorist" and framed the shooting as a clear-cut case of self-defense amid an assault on law enforcement. The same video footage, watched by millions of Americans, fueled both narratives.
Four people have been killed in clashes in Cameroon before the announcement of the results of elections held on October 12. Supporters of opposition leader Issa Tchiroma faced-off against security forces as they rallied on Sunday despite a ban on gatherings, with results due to be announced on Monday.

Peru's Congress approved the removal of President Dina Boluarte in the early hours of Friday morning after launching an expedited impeachment process. The legislature had summoned the head of state to appear immediately that same night to present her defense before the vote, but she refused, calling the procedure unconstitutional. The four motions, filed under the constitutional charge of permanent moral incapacity, were passed thanks to votes from right-wing parties and Popular Force (FP), which had until now supported Boluarte.
When Matt Ross took the Nepal national football team job earlier this year, he knew there would be tough times ahead. Nepal's mountainous terrain draws millions of tourists each year, but it has also made sporting progress difficult. Hamstrung by its terrain, football pitches are so scarce that the main national competition the Nepal Super League must be played over one month at a single venue: the Dasharath Stadium in Kathmandu.
A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from deploying the national guard to Portland, Oregon, according to court documents. Donald Trump had announced on 27 September that he would deploy troops to Portland, authorizing Full Force, if necessary, ignoring pleas from local officials and the state's congressional delegation, who suggested that the president was misinformed or lying about the nature and scale of a single, small protest outside one federal immigration enforcement office.
We have many cities in great shape, too, by the way. I want you to know that. But it seems that the ones that are run by the radical left Democrats, what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, they're very unsafe places. And we're going to straighten them out one by one. And this is going to be a major part for some of the people in this room. That's a war, too. It's a war from within.
At least three people have been killed and five were injured in a fire blamed on protesters at a regional parliament building in eastern Indonesia, as widespread demonstrations rock the Southeast Asian nation.

"We went unarmed against bayonets," Vrebac told DW. "I feel, personally, as do other citizens who regularly attend protests, very upset, insecure, and unsafe, and that is a consequence of living under fascism, with all its manifestations."
Braverman stated, "It just shows what a farce our asylum system has become. There are violent, organised criminals who are playing our system and making a lot of money on the backs of others to get into our country illegally."
Rep. Mike Collins attributed the civil unrest in 2020 to former President Joe Biden, suggesting it was exacerbated during his administration, and criticized the perceived lawlessness during that time.
