Zac reports on global affairs, covering everything from battles between judicial branches and political leaders, to conflicts in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. With the Trump administration keen to alter the world order, though, there’s a heavy emphasis right now on US politics – an area with which he is intimately familiar. Prior to joining GZERO, Zac was a senior national politics correspondent at National Journal, where he covered the 2024 presidential election from its inception to the dramatic finish, as well as major congressional actions during the Biden administration. Prior to journalism, Zac worked as an economic analyst for Oxford Economics, calculating the impact of various tax policies, and of Britain’s exit from the European Union. Born in London, he currently resides in New York City, where you can find him playing football (the original version) or watching it on television while attempting to cook up a storm.

+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, a ruling 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.
