1. Residents in southwestern Japan are being urged to stay on high alert for destructive winds and flooding. Typhoon Shanshan is expected to gain traction and approach the Amami region through Wednesday. The typhoon is currently heading westward, but its exact path is difficult to forecast. The powerful storm may move slowly and bring heavy rain to areas that are relatively far away.
2. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has stressed the need to financially support Pacific island nations facing rising sea levels and other challenges brought by climate change. Guterres said in a speech on Tuesday: “The world must look to the Pacific and listen to science. This is a crazy situation. Rising seas are a crisis entirely of humanity’s making.” 3. Former US President Donald Trump has suggested he might skip the first televised debate with his Democratic presidential rival Kamala Harris over microphone rules and his own questions about the fairness of the broadcaster. US media outlets say the rival camps are at odds over whether to mute the mic when the other candidate is speaking.
