Barack Obama says America and its politics are in a dark place. He's campaigning for Democrats, running for governor in Virginia and New Jersey ahead of elections Tuesday. Obama criticized Republicans, especially Donald Trump. Every day, this White House offers up a French batch of lawlessness and recklessness and mean-spiritedness and just plain craziness.

Obama also accused Republicans in Congress of ducking their responsibility during the ongoing U.S. government shutdown.

The youth unemployment rate is almost 20%. So, some are going to fake offices and pretending they're already working to better their chances. Yan Broomby explains. Fake it till you make it. Videos on Chinese social media show office spaces where unemployed graduates can pretend to work. In one of them, a graduate describes coming to the office just to have fun. But companies offering the service that we spoke to say Chinese authorities instructed them not to speak publicly about youth unemployment.

It's a sign Beijing is waking up to the potential political fallout of an undeniable graduate jobs crisis. In August, youth unemployment soared 10% as over 12 million graduates entered the job market for the first time, the largest ever cohort. Academic Roy Ng says that universities and students are partly to blame, as both are too focused on traditional academia. Employers, they want real-life problem-solving skills. The graduate jobs downturn is.

part of a wider economic slowdown in China, which could have a knock-on effect on the rest of the world. Yang comes in Brumby for CBC News, Bating. And before we go, an update on the score in World Series Game 7, the Toronto Blue Jays, still leading the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 in the sixth inning. However, the Dodgers do have runners on first and second. Fans who couldn't get in are gathering outside the Rogers Center, and please are on hand to make sure things don't get out of hand.
