    Protests against the increasing cost of living and benefit reforms seem common in Europe these days. Experts say that it is as much about voters’ distrust in government as it is a sign of failing institutions – a subtle but important distinction. Also: today’s stories, including why some seeing interference in Brazil’s tight presidential election are pointing fingers at the United States; how Elon Musk's campaign donations echo and differ from those of Gilded Age tycoons; and a look at a stained glass maker who is sharing the knowledge of an ancient Damascene art form. Join the Monitor's Chris Sherman for today's news.

    International observers are unlikely to have a direct effect on how U.S. elections are run. But their presence can be steadying and their analysis can help voters understand what went right and how the country’s electoral system could improve. Also: today’s stories, including why Israel’s election choices will be felt far beyond its borders; a look at how states and other nations offer a roadmap as childcare costs climb; and why side hustles are changing the way young people in the UK see work and careers. Join the Monitor's Linda Feldmann for today's news.

    Most Americans support regulating artificial intelligence in areas such as safety and transparency. But the White House favors development over restrictions, and Congress hasn’t acted on AI, putting the focus for now on a commitment by leading companies to establish standards and guardrails. Also: Today’s stories, including why Arab voters may shape Israel’s next government coalition; how Somaliland’s mission to earn recognition from other countries could be turning into a case of “be careful what you wish for”; and a look at what the youth in India’s democracy say they won’t compromise on. Join the Monitor's Tim Backshall for today's news.
