On the "CBS News Weekend Roundup", host Allison Keyes gets the latest on the situation in the Middle East from CBS's Imtiaz Tyab, and threats ahead of October 7th from CBS's Nicole Sganga. We'll look at the continuing fallout from Hurricane Helene. In the "Kaleidoscope with Allison Keyes" segment, we're discussing the Jewish High Holy Days, and how they are being affected by the upcoming one-year mark of the Hamas terror attack on Israel last October 7th.
President Biden made a surprise visit to the White House Briefing Room today. Days after Hurricane Helene ravaged the Southeast, many people are still unaccounted for. And striking dockworkers return to work.
It's Jobs Friday! It's that time of the month where we check in on the American worker.
In September, 254,000 jobs were added to the US economy and the unemployment rate ticked down very slightly to 4.1%. It's unexpectedly strong, and relieving news for workers after a pretty lackluster summer.
But ... given how the labor market cooled over summer, is the labor market still on thin ice? And if there were to be a plummet in jobs, could anything be done to speed up the recovery?
Today on the show: How it's easier to break the economy than to fix it, and whether we can escape from the patterns of the past.
The strike by dockworkers on the East and Gulf Coasts is suspended, after the two sides reached a tentative agreement on wages. The Harris campaign tries to show it's on top of October surprises. A federal jury in Memphis convicts three ex-police officers in the beating death of Tyre Nichols.

In 2014, Californians passed Prop 47, a criminal justice reform measure aimed at sending fewer low-level offenders for drug and theft crimes to prison. Now, Californians are being asked if they want to roll back some of those reforms, and increase the penalties. KQED Politics Correspondent and co-host of Political Breakdown Marisa Lagos takes us through the history, data and arguments of this prop.
This is the final episode in our 10-part Prop Fest series, examining the propositions on California's 2024 ballot. We'll be back to regular programming next week.

For over 600 years, the empire that dominated the region of Southeast Asia was the Khmer Empire.
Built out of a collection of kingdoms, the Khmer Empire dominated its corner of Asia. It was an advanced civilization known for its massive building projects and its system of waterworks.
Even though the empire eventually fell, as all empires do, its legacy can still be seen in the religious and cultural institutions in the region today.
Learn more about the Khmer Empire, its rise, and its fall on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In today's episode, two new nonfiction books take on big themes: cynicism and freedom. In his new book, Hope for Cynics, Stanford psychology professor Jamil Zaki argues that cynicism is unhealthy not only for individuals, but also for communities and even entire nations. He speaks with Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes about why Americans have grown more cynical over the last 50 years and how a close friend inspired Zaki to move towards "hopeful skepticism." Then, Yale historian Timothy Snyder joins NPR's Scott Simon from Ukraine to talk about how the American definition of freedom can be too narrow. They also discuss how Snyder's thinking on freedom has been shaped by his time in Ukraine.
