+26: Two BBC leaders, Director-General Tim Davie and BBC News Head Deborah Turness, resigned on Sunday after it emerged that the British news organization edited footage of US President Donald Trump in a misleading fashion. Trump has now threatened to sue. A recent poll found the BBC was one of the most trusted news organizations in the US: Americans were 26 percentage points more likely to call it trustworthy, making it the second-most trusted in the US behind the Weather Channel. Will that hold?

4: Not even a week after Typhoon Kalmaegi ripped through the Philippines and killed over 200 people, another typhoon – this one called Fung-wong – has hit the Southeast Asian nation. At least four have died from this latest storm. More than a million people evacuated the worst-affected areas before it hit, which may have helped keep the human toll relatively low.

10: The Supreme Court refused a request from a Kentucky county clerk to reconsider Obergefell v. Hodges, aruling from 10 years ago that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The clerk had refused to issue same-sex marriage licenses over her religious beliefs. A Gallup poll conducted in May found most Americans, 68%, support rights for same-sex marriage.

5: China formally announced that it would suspend export controls on five critical minerals used for the production of semiconductors and military equipment. The announcement is in line with the agreement that Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping reached during their October summit in South Korea.
