From Reuters.

1. Kamala Harris’ lead over Donald Trump dwindled in the final stretch of the U.S. presidential contest, with the Democrat ahead by a single percentage point over the Republican, 44% to 43%, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll published on Tuesday.

2. At least 93 Palestinians were killed or missing and dozens wounded in an Israeli strike on a residential building in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya on Tuesday, the Gaza health ministry said, and the U.S. called the incident "horrifying".

3. China’s planned fiscal package targets damaged property and local government balance sheets that weigh on the economy and fuel deflationary pressures, thus acting as a stabiliser rather than the instant growth booster markets craved.

4. The Canadian government alleged on Tuesday that Indian Minister of Home Affairs Amit Shah, a close ally of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was behind the plots to target Sikh separatists on Canadian soil.

5. British finance minister Rachel Reeves said she would raise taxes by 40 billion pounds a year ($52 billion) in her first budget, as she accused the previously ruling Conservative Party of leaving public services broken after their 14 years in power.
