Early attention stayed on Iran after Trump rejected Tehran's ceasefire proposal, with reports describing nuclear talks stalled and Hormuz traffic recovering as U.S. forces left Iraq with a warning to Tehran.
Focus then moved to former special counsel Jack Smith's appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he said he stood by the Trump prosecutions and would not be silenced while Republicans accused his team of collecting journalists' communications and donor checks.
The Supreme Court later allowed rapid third-country deportations to resume pending review, for the second time lifting requirements for migrants to contest removal.
Trump closed the day meeting AI executives to unveil America.gov and a voluntary, morally binding accord on self-regulation, as scrutiny continued of DHS-funded pro-Trump television ads.

Overnight more than 100 settlers rampaged through Jalud in the West Bank as troops escorted a Palestinian family back to its home under court order. The IDF said rioters torched houses and cars, threw stones and wounded three Border Police officers; only two to three suspects were arrested. President Herzog called it a moral stain, while Netanyahu condemned a fringe handful. Reports said the army had not coordinated with police or Shin Bet.
From Tel Nof airbase Netanyahu said there were signs enemies would try to attack ahead of elections and warned them not to test Israel. Opposition leader Lapid demanded a briefing and Gadi Eisenkot questioned the claim. Military sources said no specific warning or raised alert was identified. Netanyahu met Lapid near midnight, after which Lapid said there was no reason to panic.

Coverage of the Salam-Rubio meeting shifted from 'positive atmosphere' to a harder American line. Rubio said Washington stood with a sovereign Lebanon free of Hezbollah and Iranian influence, that Lebanese Army deployment in the south was insufficient, and that further Israeli withdrawal would follow disarmament. Treasury officials urged preemptive moves against Iranian and Hezbollah financial networks, while Salam replied Lebanon had made its choice — no two armies — and Hezbollah must accept the state arms monopoly.
President Aoun asked visiting US congressmen to press Israel to implement the framework mechanism, and Speaker Berri said only Trump could end the war.
In the south, Israel said it neutralized two entrants to the security zone, as outlets warned a broad operation around Rihane-Jabal Safi was postponed, not cancelled, amid renewed Israeli talk of the Litani.

Central Tokyo marked 34 consecutive rainy days, the longest ever recorded, blamed on a stalled autumn front and typhoon influence, with forecasts the streak could extend beyond the 30th. Typhoon No.26 Surigae south of Japan was tracked nearing the Izu Islands and making its closest approach to Kanto on Oct.1, prompting high-wave warnings and rain through Oct.2.
Outlets linked the forecast to unfinished recovery from Typhoon No.25 in Chiba, where a collapsed embankment in Shisui left flooding, JR lines remained suspended and Tokyo sent buses for substitute transport.
Elsewhere the 2025 census put the population at 122.97 million with the largest drop on record, the University of Tokyo named Yuko Fujigaki as its first female president, and Japan-China friction persisted as Wang Yi pressed former minister Iwaya to correct Prime Minister Takaichi's Taiwan remarks amid clashes over the U.N.'s former enemy-state clauses.
