The rise of artificial intelligence is prompting college students to second-guess their career paths. Students say that picking a major that’s AI-proof feels like shooting at a moving target, as they try to prepare for a job market that is changing rapidly. A surge of recent polls show that college students see AI as a threat to their job prospects, particularly those majoring in technology-related fields. Until recently, the narrative that guided many students was that learning to code would lead to good jobs. But students who followed that path and are now majoring in computer science, analytics and other popular STEM majors fear that AI is taking entry-level jobs.

Oil prices are gaining Monday after negotiations between the U.S. and Iran stalled over the weekend and a standoff in the Strait of Hormuz remained despite a ceasefire. Iran’s foreign minister is in Russia Monday to meet President Vladimir Putin as part of a trip that included two stops in Pakistan and a visit to Oman. Pakistan's leaders are working to bridge significant gaps between the two countries to revive the talks. President Donald Trump canceled plans for his top envoys to travel to Islamabad this weekend for negotiations after Iran insisted the U.S. should end its blockade of Iranian ports before new talks can take place. The U.S. military’s Central Command says it has so far turned around 38 ships during the blockade.

U.S. President Donald Trump says he told his top envoys not to travel to Pakistan to negotiate with Iran. Trump told Fox News, ″they can call us any time they want.” Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said Saturday that his country won’t negotiate while the United States imposes a blockade on its ports. Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is expected back in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad on Sunday. Trump previously said Israel and Lebanon have agreed to extend a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah by three weeks after talks at the White House.

The latest attempt at ceasefire talks between the United States and Iran has fallen flat after Tehran's top diplomat left Pakistan and President Donald Trump said he told envoys not to travel to Islamabad. The talks on Saturday were meant to follow historic face-to-face negotiations earlier this month. Iranian officials have questioned U.S. trustworthiness after U.S. forces blockaded Iranian ports in response to Tehran's grip on the Strait of Hormuz. Iran had said talks with the U.S. would be indirect. The economic fallout continues. Meanwhile, another ceasefire, between Israel and the Iranian-backed Lebanese militant Hezbollah group, was shaken as each side fired at the other.

Barriers to tourism for people living with disabilities can range from the obvious, such as an out-of-service elevator, to an outing that’s too long or a setting that’s too loud. Tourist destinations that want to be truly accessible need to accommodate visitors with visible and invisible disabilities. In recent years, museums and other cultural institutions worldwide have added specialized guides and barrier-free tours for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, use wheelchairs, or with autism or dementia. Tourism agencies dedicated to serving these populations have sprung up, too. Disabled travelers also have created their own websites to share and exchange information.
