This year’s Toronto International Film Festival is working under different conditions, mainly the dueling strikes between SAG-AFTRA and the WGA.

But, regardless, it’s still been a star-studded ceremony with several performers — working under interim agreements from SAG-AFTRA — arriving to promote their projects.
The Toronto Film Festival is a mix of heavy-hitting awards contenders and features for sale. Films that people are already discussing include Craig Gillespie’s “Dumb Money,” Anna Kendrick’s “Woman of the Hour” and

Pope Francis on Friday criticized both former U.S. President Donald Trump over his plan to deport millions of immigrants and Vice President Kamala Harris over her stance supporting abortion rights. Asked about the U.S. presidential election on his flight back to Rome from Singapore, the pope said not welcoming migrants is a "grave" sin, and likened having an abortion to an "assassination". He said U.S. Catholics would have to "choose the lesser evil" when they vote in November, without elaborating.
Police have released video footage of an American woman being arrested for eating a cat – 170 miles away from Springfield, Ohio where Donald Trump claimed Haitian immigrants were devouring pets.
Is Donald Trump gearing up to blame old folks if he loses the presidential election to Kamala Harris in November? It sure sounded that way Thursday at a rally held by the former president in Tucson, Arizona, where he took note of the changing demographic of his supporters and wondered aloud if they will be to blame if he’s defeated on Election Day.“We have a lot of young people here,” Trump said. “My audiences, they’ve gotten younger and younger, do you notice that?”Read more at The Daily Beast.
An expert psychiatrist is sounding the alarm in the wake of Donald Trump's bizarre presidential debate performance against Kamala Harris.

BEIJING (Reuters) -Beijing, as a vote on EU duties on China-made electric vehicles looms, employed a carrot-and-stick approach to deal with the 27-strong bloc, threatening trade retaliation while cajoling key EU states into one-on-one talks on deals and investments. European Union members such as Germany, Finland and Sweden that have not pushed for the tariffs would feel less impact, with little exposure to the export items singled out by China. China's tactics appear to be working.
Pope Francis called sexual abuse “demonic” on Friday as he weighed in on the latest sex assault revelations against a legendary French priest, Abbe Pierre, who devoted his life to advocating for the homeless. Abbé Pierre, who died in 2007, was one of France’s most beloved public figures. The founder of the international Emmaus Community for the poor, Abbé Pierre had served as part of France’s conscience since the 1950s, when he persuaded Parliament to pass a law — still on the books — forbidding landlords to evict tenants during winter.
