This is the first major setback for George Osborne, Chancellor of the Exchequer, since the general election. Osborne said the government will "lessen" the impact of tax credit cuts for those affected, while vowing to press on with changes designed to save billions from welfare. 2015-10-26 41a68a4f9300cbc64b0faf75651203acb7847482 https://s2.reutersmedia.net/resources/r/?m=02&d=20151026&t=2&i=1089975500&w=1200&r=LYNXNPEB9P1BC <84b82337c09c8e0a65c25d7fdb48dc771997170d>https://s2.reutersmedia.net/resources/r/?m=02&d=20151026&t=2&i=1089975500&w=1200&r=LYNXNPEB9P1BC 24 Chicago 14 /wiki/chicago Gun politics in the United States 1 /wiki/gun%20politics%20in%20the%20united%20states Illinois 37 /wiki/illinois International Association of Chiefs of Police 2 /wiki/international%20association%20of%20chiefs%20of%20police background check 71 /wiki/background%20check Chicago Gun politics in the United States Illinois International Association of Chiefs of Police background check Gun politics in the United States /feed/2015/10/26/leaders-of-nine-national-law-enforcement-groups-at-the-annual-international-association-of-chiefs-of-police-conference Reuters 26 84b82337c09c8e0a65c25d7fdb48dc771997170d 10 https://www.reuters.com/article/2015/10/27/us-usa-guns-police-idUSKCN0SK2RR20151027 2015 USA Today 26 11e7923c26a53bf7cdf6684e81b54749dbc03b02 10 https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/10/26/polaice-chiefs-renew-push-for-expanded-background-checks-guns/74650146/ 2015 Police chiefs from across the United States called on Monday for universal backg...

Tremors reached as far as New Delhi, India. At least 263 are dead in Afghanistan and nearby northern Pakistan with more than 1,000 injured. The death toll will likely climb since communications in much of the affected areas are cut, and rescue teams had not yet reached districts closest to the epicenter, including some that are controlled by Taliban insurgents. 2015-10-26 a02c55b71bfb1ec5e925c2e9eeffb8f6e0d684a1 15 Mastercard 36 /wiki/mastercard U.S. 13 /wiki/united%20states USAA 1 /wiki/usaa Visa 70 /wiki/visa%20inc Mastercard U.S. USAA Visa USAA /feed/2015/10/26/usaa-one-of-the-largest-financial-services-companies-in-the-us-announced-the-ending-of-its-long-term-relationship-wi WSJ 26 472c21ec21d5c4a42cdb34025cdc2b93fb891b5e 10 https://www.wsj.com/articles/usaa-switching-credit-debit-cards-to-visa-from-mastercard-1445723841 2015 USAA, one of the largest financial services companies in the U.S., announced the ending of its long-term relationship with MasterCard.
