Should older pilots be allowed to keep flying passenger planes? The mandatory retirement age of 65 has sparked ongoing debate, with some arguing that experienced pilots should be allowed to stay in the cockpit — while others warn that age-related declines could jeopardize safety.

Here’s what else you need to know to get up to speed and on with your day.

1?? Autism announcement

President Donald Trump made an announcement Monday linking autism to Tylenol use during pregnancy, contradicting decades of evidence. The FDA is now beginning the process to change the safety label on acetaminophen products. The agency is also sending a letter to physicians explaining its new guidance recommending that women limit Tylenol use during pregnancy unless medically necessary. Health experts say there are multiple causes of autism, and extensive studies have shown that acetaminophen is a safe over-the-counter option for pain or fever for pregnant women. Tylenol maker Kenvue said Monday that it is “deeply concerned about the health risks and confusion this poses for expecting mothers and parents.”

2?? UN General Assembly

France declared its recognition of a Palestinian state during a summit at the UN General Assembly, joining a wave of countries seeking to end the war in Gaza. The other countries that recognized Palestine on Monday include Belgium, Monaco, Luxembourg and Malta. Britain, Canada, Australia and Portugal formally recognized Palestine the day before. Notably, France’s announcement makes Israel’s biggest backer, the United States, the sole permanent member of the UN Security Council not to recognize Palestinian statehood. This further highlights how isolated Israel and the US have become on this issue compared to the rest of the world, analysts say.

3?? Hurricane Gabrielle

Hurricane Gabrielle has intensified into a Category 4 storm east of Bermuda, while two more potential tropical systems — one near the Caribbean and another farther east — could develop later this week. The storms are not an immediate threat to land, but the area of activity near the Leeward Islands and Bahamas is the wild card, with a future US impact possible if atmospheric conditions align. Forecasts indicate that Bermuda could experience rain, gusty winds and large swells from the storm. The hurricane will also generate rough seas and dangerous rip currents along much of the US East Coast, from North Carolina to New England, through midweek.

4?? Artificial intelligence

Chipmaker Nvidia will invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI and provide it with data center chips, the companies said on Monday, a tie-up between two of the highest-profile leaders in the global artificial intelligence race. The deal, which will see Nvidia start delivering chips as soon as late 2026, will involve two separate but intertwined transactions, according to a person close to OpenAI. The startup will pay Nvidia in cash for chips, and Nvidia will invest in OpenAI for non-controlling shares, the person said. Nvidia’s investment comes days after it committed $5 billion to struggling chipmaker Intel.

5?? Drones

Two of Scandinavia’s busiest airports — Oslo and Copenhagen — were forced to close for several hours due to drone sightings overnight, resulting in travel disruptions for thousands of people. The airspace over Denmark’s Copenhagen Airport was closed for almost four hours after two to three large “unidentified” drones were spotted in the area flashing their lights before disappearing after several hours, police said. In a separate incident in Oslo, police arrested two foreign nationals for flying drones over a restricted area. Europe has been on alert since Russian drones violated NATO airspace this month, though there is currently no indication that Monday’s drone activities in Denmark and Norway are connected to those incidents involving Russia.
