Israel and Jordan reached an agreement over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.  Israel agreed to reaffirm Jordan's historic role as caretaker of the holy site, known as Haram al-Sharif to Muslims.  But to address Palestinian fears that Israel is trying to change the arrangements over who gets to pray there, Israel agreed to allow CCTV cameras to be installed to monitor it 24 hours a day.  This came after US Secretary of State John Kerry flew to the region to meet with leaders.

The Vatican ended its synod on the family, with bishops agreeing on a summary document which decided against overhauling the church’s teaching on gay Catholics but paved the way for greater openness towards divorcees.  The gathering of old men in dresses from five continents lasted three weeks, and the document is described a compromise with vague language - hardly a victory for progressives pushing for change in a centuries old structure.  Separately, hard-line cardinals and bishops blasted gay rights; others said allowing divorced Catholics to take communion would be heresy.  Pope Francis was likely referring to the conservatives when he remarked, "The true defenders of doctrine are not those who uphold its letter, but its spirit."

Storm Patricia is gradually losing its power after slamming into Mexico's Pacific Coast.  And although there is considerable damage, good planning and evacuations prevented things from being worse than they are.  The US Hurricane Center warns that the storm will still dump more than 50 centimeters of rain on the hills, which will create mudslides and flooding.  Patricia also avoided a direct hit on population centers, and no deaths are reported so far.

Hollywood legend Maureen O'Hara is dead at age 95.  Born in Maureen FitzSimmons in Dublin, she moved to California in 1939 and featured in classic after classic, such as "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", "How Green Was My Valley", and "Miracle on 34th Street"; she was the perfect female lead opposite John Wayne in  "Rio Grande", "The Quiet Man", "McLintock!" and others.  O'Hara's characters were "feisty and fearless, just as she was in real life", according to a release from her family.  Although she took American citizenship, she returned to Ireland frequently and played a large role in Irish-American events including being the Grand Marshal of the New York City Saint Patrick's Day Parade in 2004.  O'Hara died in her sleep at her grandson's home in Idaho.

Three people are dead and 34 are injured after an allegedly drunk driver plowed her Hyundai Elantra into a crowd at the Oklahoma State University homecoming parade in the town of Stillwater.  It happened hours before the undefeated OSU Cowboys were to play the University of Kansas before 50,000 people just a few steps away.  The driver was arrested immediately; she is not believed to be a student.

Arsonist struck a planned refugee camp outside Stockholm in Sweden, about the twelfth time this has happened as Europe faces a crisis of hundreds of thousands of refugees from the Syrian Civil War and migrants from Africa and South Asia.  It comes just after a neonazi in a black mask and helmet used a sword to kill a teacher and a student in a school in Trollhattan.  Sweden's generous policy towards asylum seekers means the the country will be taking in the most refugees, proportionate to the population, out of any EU nation.  Many fear this is driving up support for the intolerant far right.

Last minute crisis talks between Russia and Ukraine failed, and the two countries are banning direct flights.  Ukraine announced the plan earlier in retaliation for Moscow's support of eastern rebels.  The Kremlin at first denounced it as madness, but then followed suit with its own plan to stop the flights.  It is expected to effect 70,000 passengers per month.  This comes at a rather ironic time, because the ceasefire in the east is finally holding and violence is an at low point - but relations between Kiev and Moscow are still very bitter.

Venezuela is suing banking website DolarToday in a US Federal Court, accusing it of cyberterrorism and claiming its managers are sowing economic chaos in Venezuela.  DolarToday tracks the black market value of the Venezuelan currency, the bolivar, and Caracas says it is being catastrophically undervalued.  The site is headquarters in Delaware, a tiny east coast state will ultra-friendly banking laws that lured many institutions into locating their headquarters in a place that would otherwise be known for meh seafood.
