Online outage, Gaza ceasefire test, ‘No Kings’ protests & more
CNN 5 Things
Oct 20, 2025

A huge global outage is impacting online services such as Amazon, Fortnite and Snapchat. The US-brokered ceasefire in Gaza seems to be holding, after a major test over the weekend. President Donald Trump has responded to the latest wave of “No Kings” protests with an AI meme. The ongoing government shutdown means the federal agency overseeing the US’ nuclear stockpile will furlough the vast majority of its staff from today. Plus, a manhunt is underway after a jewelry heist at the Louvre in Paris.
