- Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's longest-serving leader, faces a fight for political survival as Israelis vote in a general election for the first time since the October 7 attacks and the wars that followed in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. Our Jerusalem bureau chief Rami Ayyub tells the Reuters World News podcast that the election may be decided by three key voting groups: Arab voters, swing voters and Israelis who live abroad.
- Palestinians in the occupied territories cannot vote but will also be affected by the outcome. Here's what Netanyahu and his main rival, former military chief Gadi Eisenkot, have said about their policies on the West Bank and Gaza.

- President Trump weighed in on Brazil's presidential vote, saying the result "looked like another rigged election," although defeated right-winger Flavio Bolsonaro's party later acknowledged the result.
- In the US, Trump's public approval rating inched higher to 32%, up a percentage point from last week's record low, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. Though many analysts and polls predict significant Democratic gains in the November 3 midterms, here are six reasons the party could fall short of expectations.
- Russia and Ukraine have begun a localized ceasefire to allow a humanitarian operation in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian town of Oleshky, both sides said on Tuesday, even as strikes continue elsewhere, including in Kyiv.
- By unseating longtime leader Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia's student protest movement achieved what demonstrators elsewhere in Europe can only dream of. But now comes the gritty business of governing — something neither the students nor their handpicked candidates have experience doing.

AI-generated fashion models present a tantalizing opportunity for brands: the ability to create lifelike images for their retail websites while cutting costs by 90% or more compared to photo shoots with human models.
For the modeling industry, the technology poses an existential threat because of scant regulation governing the ownership or use of digital twins. Fashion models face the risk of unpaid replication of their image – or replacement by entirely synthetic models.
To understand how AI is upending the economics of fashion modeling, Reuters interviewed 15 model-agency directors and reviewed more than a dozen confidential photo-shoot contracts in which brands including Diesel, Calvin Klein and L'Oreal detailed proposed terms for AI-created alterations and future use of the images.
