* Record-low cap reflects Trump's restrictive immigration stance * Focus to be on Afrikaners from South Africa * Critics say cutting refugee flow jeopardizes lives and security By Ted Hesson WASHINGTON, Oct 3 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump's administration is preparing to set a refugee admissions cap at 7,500 people this fiscal year, a record low that prioritizes white South Africans of Afrikaner ethnicity, three people familiar with the matter said. If finalized, the planned cap would be a steep drop from the 125,000 put in place last year under former President Joe Biden and reflect Trump's restrictive view of immigration and humanitarian protection. Trump, a Republican, slashed refugee levels during his 2017-2021 presidency as part of a broad crackdown on both legal and illegal immigration. After returning to office in January 2025, he froze refugee admissions, saying they could only resume if it was determined to be in the interest of the U.S. Weeks later, Trump issued an executive order prioritizing refugee entries from South Africa's Dutch-descended Afrikaner minority, saying the white minority group suffered racial discrimination and violence in majority-Black South Africa. South Africa's government has rejected those claims. The first group of 59 South Africans arrived in May, reaching a total of 138 by early September, Reuters reported previously. The White House, State Department and Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding the planned 7,500-person refugee ceiling in fiscal year 2026, which began on Wednesday. The New York Times first reported the plans. John Slocum, executive director of Refugee Council USA, urged other elected officials to push Trump to bring in more refugees, saying in a statement that such a low limit would be "jeopardizing people’s lives, separating families, and undermining our national security and economic growth." Trump officials had previously discussed annual refugee admissions ranging from 40,000 to 60,000, Reuters reported in recent months. At a side event at the United Nations General Assembly last week, top Trump administration officials urged other nations to join a global campaign to roll back asylum protections, a major shift that would seek to reshape the post-World War Two framework around humanitarian migration.

By Mrinmay Dey Oct 3 (Reuters) – ChatGPT creator OpenAI will soon introduce controls allowing the owners of content rights to dictate how their characters are used in its AI video-generating tool Sora and plans to share revenue with those who permit such use. The artificial intelligence company will give rights holders "more granular control over generation of characters," Chief Executive Sam Altman posted on his blog on Friday. Altman said options for copyright owners, such as television and movie studios, will include being able to block the use of their characters. Scrutiny is growing over AI-generated content and its impact on intellectual property rights, as companies navigate how to balance innovation with fair compensation for creators. OpenAI launched Sora this week as a standalone app, initially available in the United States and Canada. Videos in the app can be up to 10 seconds long. The app, which swiftly rose in popularity, lets users create and share AI videos that can be spun from copyrighted content and shared to social media-like streams. Its copyright policy is expected to stir tensions in Hollywood. At least one major studio, Disney, has opted out of having their material appear in the app, people familiar with the matter have told Reuters. OpenAI also plans to introduce a revenue-sharing model for copyright holders who permit their characters to be generated by users, Altman wrote. He said users are creating significantly more video content than expected, often for niche audiences, prompting the need for a monetization strategy. Altman acknowledged that the revenue-sharing framework "will take some trial and error to figure out," but said implementation would begin soon as OpenAI intends to test various approaches within Sora, before rolling out a consistent model across its broader product suite. Microsoft-backed OpenAI launched a Sora model for public use last year, expanding its foray into multimodal AI technologies and competing with similar text-to-video tools from Meta and Alphabet's Google. Meta recently unveiled Vibes, a platform where users can create and share short-form, AI-generated videos. (Reporting by Mrinmay Dey in Bengaluru; Editing by William Mallard)

LAS VEGAS — Despite trailing for most of the contest, the Las Vegas Aces escaped Game 1 of the WNBA Finals on Friday night with an 89-86 victory over the Phoenix Mercury after a furious fourth-quarter rally. With Las Vegas up 87-86 and 24.6 seconds remaining, Alyssa Thomas missed a pair of free throws that could have given Phoenix the lead. After the Aces' Jackie Young sank two free throws, Las Vegas closed the game with a defensive stop on the final possession. Momentum shifted early in the fourth quarter. Las Vegas trailed 76-70 with 8:23 remaining when Phoenix's Satou Sabally was assessed a technical foul for spiking the ball after being whistled for her fifth foul of the night. That incident kickstarted a 17-6 Aces run. Dana Evans sank a 3-pointer that put the home team ahead for good, 85-82 with 3:37 remaining. A'ja Wilson capped the run with a 10-footer with 2:41 left, giving the Aces a five-point edge. Wilson, who won her fourth WNBA Most Valuable Player award this year, finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Evans also scored 21 points for Las Vegas. Jewell Loyd put up 18, Young scored 10 and Chelsea Gray had eight points, 10 assists and seven rebounds. Kahleah Copper paced Phoenix with 21 points, and Sabally had 19. Thomas compiled 15 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. Game 2 in the best-of-seven series is scheduled for Sunday in Las Vegas. The Mercury stretched their lead to a game-high nine points in the third, but the Aces managed to claw within 71-67 by the end of the quarter. The Aces tied the game at 57 all with a trio of Gray free throws after a flagrant-1 violation was called due to Copper encroaching in Gray's landing area on a 3-point attempt. Gray was injured on the play and went to the locker room. Immediately after, DeWanna Bonner and Monique Akoa Makani hit triples to regain a 63-57 lead with 4:30 remaining in the third. After a streaky start for each side, Phoenix and Vegas began the second quarter with a mutually torrid shooting display. Vegas began the quarter 8-for-11 from the field but still found themselves trailing, because Phoenix began the frame 10-for-11 from the field itself and had an answer at every turn. Copper led the scoring outburst for the Mercury, scoring 12 points in the second quarter while making all four attempts from behind the arc. Copper had a game-high 19 points in the first half and made five total 3-pointers, tying former Mercury point guard Diana Taurasi's WNBA Finals record for most 3-pointers in a half. Vegas still managed to keep the game within 50-45 at halftime thanks to timely 3-pointers from Loyd and fellow reserve Evans. Loyd (13 points) and Evans (10 points) were the Aces' two leading scorers in the first half. –Will Despart, Field Level Media

Simone Charley scored the equalizer in the 85th minute and the Orlando Pride rallied for a 1-1 road draw with the Houston Dash on Friday night. Fighting for a playoff spot, Houston (7-10-6, 27 points) took the lead in the 62nd minute when Malia Berkely scored amid traffic off a short corner. Ten minutes later, the Pride (9-8-6, 33 points) started to take control, getting three shots away, including an attempt from Ally Lemos which Abby Smith had to reject in the 79 th minute. Charley, who came off the bench in the 68th minute, was able to head home a delivery from Haley McCutcheon with five minutes remaining in regular time for her first goal in three years, which also stunned the home crowd. Orlando has earned three points in the two matches following its 0-5-4 rut, as it continues to challenge for a top-four spot in the NWSL standings. They are currently tied with Seattle for fourth place, but the Reign have a game-in- hand. The Dash, meanwhile, have managed just two goals amid their current 1-2-1 stretch, as their own push toward playoff position continues. They current reside in 10 th place, still only two points behind eighth-place Louisville. Houston owned an 8-2 overall shot advantage during the scoreless first half. Orlando responded and pressured early in the second half, only to be thwarted by some key saves from Smith (five saves). Orlando owned a 6-3 advantage when it came to shots on target. Pride goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse was credited with a pair of saves. –Field Level Media
