Analysis-Lessons from Iran missile attacks for defending against China's advanced arsenal
Iran's missile barrage this month against Israel, after a similar large-scale attack in April, shows the value, as well as the shortcomings, of U.S and allied missile defences in a potential Indo-Pacific conflict with China, analysts say. Although differences between the two scenarios limit the lessons that can be learnt, the nearly 400 missiles of different types that Iran has fired at Israel this year offer the United States and China some idea of what works and what does not. For Washington, the main takeaway from Iran's Oct. 1 attacks - the largest sample yet of ballistic missiles fired against modern defences - could be that Beijing's missiles would be more difficult to intercept than Iran's and that the ability to strike back would be needed to deter a mass attack, said Collin Koh of the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore.

Trump calls for adding 10,000 Border Patrol agents after derailing a bipartisan border bill
Former President Donald Trump on Sunday proposed hiring 10,000 additional Border Patrol agents and giving them a $10,000 retention and signing bonus, after he derailed a bipartisan bill earlier this year that included funding for more border personnel. Trump made his pledge during a rally in Prescott Valley, Arizona, roughly 260 miles north of the state's border with Mexico. Trump has made illegal immigration the focus of his campaign and blamed Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democratic opponent, for a record spike in unauthorized crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Inquiry into British woman's 2018 Novichok poisoning to start
A public inquiry into the death of a woman who Britain says was unwittingly killed by the Novichok nerve agent following the attempted murder of former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal six years ago will begin on Monday.

Australia PM ratings dip as opposition prospects brighten, poll shows
Australia's conservative opposition coalition has pulled ahead of the Labor government for the first time since the May 2022 election, while ratings of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese fell to the lowest levels, a widely watched poll showed on Monday. A Newspoll conducted for The Australian newspaper showed the Liberal-National coalition now leads Labor 51-49 on a two-party preferred basis under Australia's preferential voting system, where votes from minor parties are redistributed until a winner is elected. Though the primary vote support for both the opposition and Labor remained unchanged at 38-31 on the previous poll, the slim lead for the coalition has come from a slight shift in preference over minor parties, the poll showed.

Donald Trump pledged on Sunday to hire an extra 10,000 border patrol agents if he is reelected as president, as he intensifies his attacks on Kamala Harris on the issue of immigration.
