Coalition leader Angus Taylor has proposed cutting net overseas migration by 60,000 more people than Peter Dutton promised before the 2025 election, taking the figure below Pauline Hanson’s stated threshold. The plan would reduce temporary visa holders by about 650,000 over four years and halve humanitarian places. Business and asylum-seeker advocates questioned its feasibility and impact, while Hanson said major parties had been dragged toward the far right.

Kosovo police used tear gas against protesters calling for restrictions on the war crimes court. Anger has grown since former president Hashim Thaci, regarded by many as a hero of the independence struggle, was sentenced last month for crimes committed during the 1990s war against Serbia.
Police clashed with several hundred protesters outside Kosovo’s Parliament in Pristina after lawmakers failed to complete a vote on changes limiting the powers of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague. Tear gas and water cannons were used, and a hospital reported 12 injuries. The dispute over the court has become linked to negotiations over electing Kosovo’s next president.

President Donald Trump has ordered a firing squad execution for the former U.S. Army psychiatrist who killed 13 people in a 2009 shooting spree at Fort Hood, Texas. The gunman later described the attack as retaliation for U.S. wars in the Muslim world, the Pentagon said.
President Donald Trump has approved a U.S. Army firing-squad execution for Nidal Hasan, the military psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people and wounding 32 in a 2009 shooting at Fort Hood. The attack was described as the deadliest shooting of its kind at a U.S. military base. Hasan was sentenced to death by a military jury in 2013.
Nidal Hasan, a former U.S. Army major who killed 13 people at Fort Hood in Texas in 2009, is set to be executed by firing squad, officials said Monday.
The Pentagon says President Trump approved an Army firing-squad execution for former Army Maj. Nidal Hasan. Hasan was sentenced to death after a court-martial convicted him of killing 13 people and wounding 32 others at a Texas Army base.
The Pentagon says former US Army major Nidal Malik Hasan will be executed by firing squad, the first US military execution in more than 60 years and the first by that method since World War Two. Hasan killed 13 soldiers and wounded 32 at Fort Hood in 2009 and was convicted of 13 premeditated murders and 32 attempted murders.
President Donald Trump approved a firing-squad execution Monday for Nidal Hasan, the US Army psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009. It would be the first US military execution since 1961; the Army has not yet set the date or location.
President Donald Trump has authorized a firing squad as the method for Nidal Hasan’s execution. Hasan’s conviction stemmed from the 2009 massacre at Fort Hood in Texas.
Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recommended executing convicted Fort Hood mass shooter Nidal Hasan, and President Donald Trump approved the recommendation.

The Parti Québécois won Quebec’s provincial election but fell short of the 64 seats needed for a majority, leaving it dependent on opposition support.

The result revives the sovereignty debate but does not show majority support for independence.
Quebec separatists have won the local election but fallen short of a majority, while pledging to hold a referendum on independence. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he would work with the incoming separatist government to address the province’s needs, including resisting a hostile US administration, creating jobs and building housing.
The Parti Quebecois has returned to power in Quebec after winning the provincial election, its first return since 2014. Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon pledged that the party would hold a future referendum on independence from Canada.
The secessionist Parti Quebecois won the most seats in Quebec’s election and is set to form the next provincial government. Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon is expected to become premier and has promised a third independence referendum during his first term, although he says it would wait until Donald Trump leaves office in January 2029. The result ends eight years of Coalition Avenir Quebec rule and creates a new national-unity challenge for Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Brazil is heading towards a fiercely contested presidential runoff after the first round showed major gains for Flavio Bolsonaro’s right-wing movement in Congress and more than 29 million voters abstained. President Lula da Silva faces an uphill fight to win another term.

Flávio Bolsonaro won Brazil’s presidential election first round by a surprisingly clear margin over left-wing incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, but fell short of an outright majority, forcing a runoff later this month. The result has been hailed as a “blue wave” and may signal a wider resurgence of right-wing support in Latin America. Lula now needs an unprecedented result to retain the presidency.
Conservative Senator Flavio Bolsonaro unexpectedly finished ahead of incumbent left-wing President Lula in Brazil’s first-round presidential vote on Sunday, setting up a runoff on October 25.
