With 1,563 cases nationwide and deaths reported in Texas and New Mexico, health officials stress the urgent need for MMR vaccination. South Carolina now joins several states facing surges, highlighting growing concern over rising global measles cases and falling immunisation rates.

The U.S. government has approved Qatar’s plan to construct a military training facility at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho — just months after the Gulf nation gifted the Pentagon a luxury aircraft that President Donald Trump is expected to use as Air Force One. U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced the partnership with Qatari defense minister Saoud bin Abdulrahman Al Thani during a Pentagon meeting on Oct. 10, calling it “another example of our partnership.” Hegseth later clarified that Qatar would not control the base itself. Officials said such collaborations are long-standing practice, though critics — including Trump ally Laura Loomer — called the deal “an abomination.” The donated plane, described as an “unconditional gift,” is being upgraded for presidential use.

Andy Garcia is paying tribute to his longtime friend and collaborator Diane Keaton following her death at age 79. The actor, who starred alongside Keaton in The Godfather Part III and later in Book Club and its sequel, shared rare throwback photos he took of her in Sicily while filming the 1990 classic. “The magical Diane Keaton has passed,” Garcia wrote on Instagram. “I share with you these pictures I took of her during Godfather III. Diane, you will be deeply missed, but your sublime light will shine forever.” In the images, Keaton beams under the Sicilian sun — a reminder, Garcia said, of the “spontaneity and presence” that made working with her “everything I expected.”

J.K. Rowling is firing back after officials in Vancouver, Canada, issued a public apology for approving a local Harry Potter-themed attraction amid ongoing backlash to the author’s anti-transgender remarks. The Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation voted to “disavow” Rowling and limit Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience to one season, with no renewal. The following day, Rowling responded on X with her trademark sarcasm: “To be honest, I didn’t even know Vancouver Parks and Recreations had avowed me, so the disavowal hasn’t been much of a blow.” She added, “Next time, send me a certificate of avowal … THEN revoke it.” The board said the apology aimed to rebuild trust with transgender and two-spirit residents.

When Franklin D. Roosevelt broke America’s two-term tradition by winning four presidential elections, lawmakers responded by passing the 22nd Amendment, formally limiting presidents to two terms in office. The rule has held firm for over seven decades — but that hasn’t stopped Donald Trump from fueling speculation about a potential third run in 2028. Trump has claimed there are “methods” to stay in power and even hinted at a possible workaround with Vice President J.D. Vance. Still, historians and constitutional experts say there’s no real path forward. Any change would require either a constitutional amendment or an unlikely legal redefinition of “term.” As one professor told NPR: “There’s no wiggle room — not for Trump or anyone else.”

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau took their rumored romance to the high seas this weekend. The “California Gurls” singer, 40, and the former Canadian prime minister, 53, were spotted sharing kisses and cuddles aboard a yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara. Photos obtained by the Daily Mail show the pair laughing and embracing in the sun, with Trudeau affectionately wrapping his arm around Perry. The two first sparked dating rumors in July when they were seen walking a dog and grabbing dinner together in Montreal. Perry split from Orlando Bloom earlier this year, while Trudeau separated from his wife Sophie Grégoire in 2023 after 18 years of marriage.

President Donald Trump sparked controversy once again by reclaiming Columbus Day as a federal holiday and calling Christopher Columbus “the original American hero.” In a lengthy proclamation ahead of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, Trump lashed out at what he described as “left-wing arsonists” who have “destroyed and dishonored” the explorer’s legacy. Rejecting efforts to acknowledge Native American suffering caused by European colonization, Trump praised Columbus for his “faith, courage, and perseverance,” adding, “We’re back, Italians.” His statement marked a stark contrast to President Biden’s recent proclamations recognizing Indigenous resilience and the deep wounds left by colonization.
