In the U.S. Northeast, the FAA halted flights at major airports after a fiber cable was cut at a New Jersey construction site, disrupting operations at JFK, Newark and Philadelphia. Hundreds of flights were cancelled across the region during a particularly sensitive window, as leaders arrived for the UN General Assembly.
In Gaza

In Britain’s Rwanda genocide case
A 65-year-old London man has become the first person charged in the UK over alleged involvement in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.

He has been remanded in custody; the allegations have not been proven.
