· 8 source(s)

Australia's Greens elect David Shoebridge as leader, inflation rises to 4%, the US Senate blocks a West Bank accountability resolution, and Trump claims the Iran war will end soon.

Australia's Greens have a new leader after David Shoebridge won a party ballot, The Guardian reports. Shoebridge, a New South Wales senator, stood on a joint ticket with first-term Victorian senator Steph Hodgins-May. The contest exposed divisions within the 11-member party room, with a crowded field of candidates. The leadership change comes as Australia's inflation rate climbed to 4% in the year to August, according to The Guardian's live coverage.

In the United States, the Senate rejected a Democratic resolution that would have required the State Department to report to Congress on violence in the occupied West Bank, The Guardian reports. The vote was mostly along party lines. The resolution cited the killings of nine American citizens by Israeli settlers or security forces since 2022. The Senate's action means no mandatory reporting will be triggered.

The US Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to temporarily resume deporting people to third countries, The Guardian reports. More than 25,000 people have been deported to 29 countries under the policy implemented last year, according to a tally by human rights groups. The court's order permits the practice to continue while litigation proceeds.

In Florida, 77-year-old Curtis Wilkie Beasley was executed on Tuesday for the 1995 hammer killing of Carolyn Monfort, The Guardian reports. He was pronounced dead at 6.12pm after a lethal injection. The US Supreme Court declined to intervene. Beasley is the 16th person executed in Florida this year, making the state the nation's busiest death chamber.
