Oct 6 (Reuters) - Governments, courts and companies are considering restrictions and examining existing rules on smart glasses amid worries that the technology, brought to mainstream by Meta's Ray-Bans, could be used to photograph, film or audio-record confidential materials or people without their knowledge.
Here is a summary of what countries and regions are doing to protect people's privacy, in alphabetical order.
AUSTRALIA
The federal government said in September it was considering barring the use of camera-equipped smart glasses in government workplaces due to privacy and security concerns.
Public Service Minister Katy Gallagher asked the country's Public Service Commission for advice on whether their use should be prohibited and what exemptions might be required.

On September 15, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (NYSE:AJG) announced that it had bought McMillan Insurance & Bonding Inc., an Englewood, Colorado, firm that operates as Innovise Business Consultants. Gallagher did not say what it paid. On its own, the deal is a footnote. But it is one of many, and the way those deals show up in earnings is where the debate over this stock really lives.
On July 30, Gallagher reported results for the quarter ended June 30, and the top line was hard to argue with. Revenue from its combined Brokerage and Risk Management businesses grew 24%, and organic growth, which leaves out acquisitions, was 6%. That second number shows clients are staying and spending. It was not confined to one corner, either, since organic fees in the risk management arm rose 12%. Management adds that retention is strong and customers want broader help from the platform. Adjusted earnings per share climbed to $2.84 from $2.30, which means growth is reaching profit once one-time acquisition costs are set aside.
Innovise fits the pattern. It sells surety bonds and commercial insurance brokerage with a focus on manufacturing, energy, construction and real estate, and Chairman and CEO J. Patrick Gallagher, Jr. said that niche expertise adds depth in Colorado. Jason McMillan's team will move into Gallagher's Denver office and work under Bret VanderVoort, who oversees retail property/casualty brokerage for the Western Zone. Buying specialists and folding them into existing offices is a repeatable playbook, and Gallagher closed 14 brokerage acquisitions in the first six months of 2026.
Now look at reported earnings, because that is where you see the cost. Diluted earnings per share fell to $1.25, from $1.40 in the second quarter of 2025, even though revenue jumped. Much of the gap between reported and adjusted results is the price of buying growth. Amortization of acquired intangibles alone weighs on brokerage net earnings by $218 million, up from $130 million a year ago, and integration costs rose as well. Adjusted figures set those aside, but they are real expenses, and they keep landing as long as Gallagher keeps buying.
Margins tell a similar story. The brokerage segment's adjusted EBITDAC margin, a stand-in for operating profit, slipped to 33.3% from 36.1%. Gallagher points to last year's interest income on cash raised for the ***** uredPartners deal, which closed in the third quarter of 2025, plus seasonality and newly added tuck-ins. That is a fair explanation. But the debt behind the deal is still here, including $9.55 billion of public debt, plus more in private placements and on a credit line. And the deal flow is thinner: brokerage acquisitions closed in the first six months of 2026 carried $107 million of annualized revenue, versus $354 million a year earlier, which puts more weight on organic growth.

A public company typically has limited control over third-party financial products that reference its shares, but Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ:HOOD) and AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:AMC) are now testing that notion in public, in one of the year's most intense corporate spats. The debate revolves over stock tokens and has evolved from a heated social media post on September 3 to a live televised retort by September 9.
Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ:HOOD) expanded its tokenized shares offering, which is issued through a unit named Robinhood ****** ets (Jersey) Limited and traded on Robinhood's proprietary blockchain, Robinhood Chain, to include over 190 public firms, including AMC, without the companies directly signing on. When AMC CEO Adam Aron discovered that his company was among them, he did not mince words. On September 3, Aron posted on X, calling the practice "contemptible, outrageous, disgusting, detestable, inexcusable, vile," questioning how it could possibly be legal, and stating that AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:AMC) had no relation to the tokens and did not condone them.
He stated that the company would retain independent securities counsel and vowed to take the matter to the SEC, characterizing Robinhood's tokens as an unregistered securities product that undermines the regular relationship between a public company and its shareholders.
The market reaction was fast and telling: AMC shares rose as much as 21% in overnight trading after the public dispute broke out.
Robinhood did not back down. In the days that followed, the company's chief legal officer, Dan Gallagher, a former SEC commissioner, mocked the tone of Aron's complaint on social media, saying Robinhood "know[s] a little something about the US securities laws," and inviting AMC's lawyers to contact them. CEO Vlad Tenev originally commented on X with a brief "What's the concern?" before making his first extensive, broadcast comments on the controversy in a CNBC "Squawk Box" interview on September 9.

Gael Cameron is trying to find the positives in life after an arrest warrant was issued for her Below Deck Mediterranean castmate and ex-partner, Nathan Gallagher.
"I've been sitting here trying to find the perfect quote to encapsulate this photo, but I realized there isn't one. Just the water and him. Two things that can get me through absolutely anything in this life," Cameron captioned a Sunday, September 6, Instagram carousel that showed her in the surf with 14-month-old Kayden, whom she shares with Gallagher. "In this moment I feel happy again."
Gallagher and Cameron met in 2024 when filming season 9 of the Bravo reality show. He was arrested and charged with ****** aulting her on Boxing Day 2025. Us Weekly confirmed last month that Gallagher was arrested and charged with "assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally chok[ing] a person without consent and common ****** ault," according to a police memo.
The police report further stated that neither party sustained injuries and Gallagher was eventually granted conditional bail. Gallagher was convicted of three domestic violence offenses on Tuesday, September 1, after failing to appear in a Sydney, Australia, courtroom.
A day earlier, Cameron thanked her fans for supporting her and her son through a "tough season."

Below Deck Mediterranean star Gael Cameron, 30, broke her silence on Saturday, Sept. 5, after ex-boyfriend Nathan Gallagher's domestic violence conviction
Cameron, who was identified as the 29-year-old woman whom Gallagher, 28, allegedly **** aulted in December 2025, took to her Instagram Stories to address the ongoing case as Gallagher remains wanted on arrest in two countries.
"Hey guys, I just want to say thank you so much for the support you've shown for Kayden and I," Cameron wrote, referring to her and Gallagher's 14-month-old son. "It's been a tough season, but I have been using the past few months to quietly heal and rebuild for little man and myself."
"I really appreciate the love you have sent our way, especially while everything that's come to light, and I'm really working on finding myself again and moving forward," continued Cameron.
After Gallagher failed to appear in court on September 1 in Burwood Local Court in Sydney, Australia, Judge Janine Lacy convicted the Below Deck Med star on three counts of domestic violence for his December arrest.

After a slow start to the season, there would have been hope that this fixture against Nottingham Forest would be the moment things started to click for Tottenham Hotspur. Instead, Spurs had to settle for a goalless draw as their wait for a first Premier League goal of the season continued.
Roberto De Zerbi made three changes from the loss against Newcastle United, with Destiny Udogie and Savio getting their first league starts of the season, and Conor Gallagher returning to the XI in favor of Mateus Fernandes. Forest made one change, as Liam Delap was preferred to Igor Jesus up front.
This first half was full of physicality but not much quality. Both sides struggled to create clearcut scoring opportunities, with set pieces and long-range efforts the only real threats from either side. There was a sort of symmetry to the chance creation, though, as both Spurs and Forest saw attackers in behind one-on-one with the keeper only for the attacker to fail to capitalize and the referee to also call the play back. Omar Marmoush for Spurs was the first, breaking away from Neco Williams to latch onto Porro's long ball, only for a foul to be awarded to Williams for a shove by the Egyptian; while Morgan Gibbs-White was flagged for offside as he sprinted in behind Jan Paul van Hecke.
With both sides failing to score in the first half, it looked like Forest may have opened the scoring in the second. Really poor positioning from Jan Paul van Hecke allowed Gibbs-White to get in behind; Kinsky did enough to at least deflect Gibbs-White's shot, but Sandro Tonali whiffed on a clearance before Williams appeared to bundle the ball into the net by way of a diving header. It was a calamitous concession by Spurs, but one that did not stand for long, as replays showed the ball ended up in the net off Williams' arms with VAR overturning the goal.
A flurry of substitutions followed from both sides as both managers searched for a winner. Neither side was able to muster the quality to create anything to break the deadlock, however, and a late headed chance from substitute Dominic Solanke that went well over the crossbar was the final chance of a reasonably low-quality affair with the match finishing 0-0.

A father rejected Democratic lawmakers' expressions of sympathy on Capitol Hill this week, accusing them of only showing concern when the cameras are rolling after his daughter was left permanently disabled in a car crash allegedly caused by an illegal immigrant.
"I reject your guys' sympathy, to be honest with you. There's no way you guys are sorry," Marcus Coleman told lawmakers Tuesday.
Coleman criticized Democratic lawmakers for what he called their "ignorance" during a follow-up interview Thursday, telling Fox News' Trace Gallagher that he struggled to make them understand his position.
"Talking with the Democrat representatives, I mean, the language they speak is ignorance, and it's hard for me to translate what I'm trying to say to them," he said. "I can explain it all day, I just can't understand it for them."

Eagle Capital Management, an investment management company, released its second quarter 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. In the quarter, Eagle Capital Management discussed how enthusiasm around AI capital spending has driven strong S&P 500 earnings growth while also increasing risks from elevated valuations, concentrated demand, and aggressive investment ***** umptions. Eagle remains a strong believer in AI but prefers constructing a portfolio that can perform across multiple outcomes rather than relying on one forecast. The firm believes current earnings can overstate underlying economics because semiconductor equipment is depreciated over several years, while free cash flow growth remains much weaker. It also expects competition and additional capacity across AI labs, hyperscalers, and semiconductors to eventually create winners and losers. These dynamics are encouraging Eagle to recycle capital toward attractive opportunities outside the most crowded AI trades while maintaining selective exposure to high-quality beneficiaries. The portfolio trades at a 20% market discount with faster expected EPS growth. Please review the Strategy's top five holdings for key selections in 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Eagle Capital Management highlighted Danaher Corporation (NYSE:DHR). Danaher Corporation (NYSE:DHR) is a healthcare and life science tools company operating through Biotechnology, Life Sciences, and Diagnostics segments. On September 02, 2026, Danaher Corporation (NYSE:DHR) closed at $209.91 per share. Over the past month, Danaher Corporation (NYSE:DHR) returned 4.97%, and its shares gained 5.47% over the past 52 weeks. Danaher Corporation (NYSE:DHR) has a market capitalization of $147.56 billion.
Eagle Capital Management stated the following regarding Danaher Corporation (NYSE:DHR) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"High quality with low volatility (24% of capital): London Stock Exchange, Danaher Corporation (NYSE:DHR), S&P Global, Mastercard, A.J.

These dynamics are encouraging Eagle to recycle capital toward attractive opportunities outside the most crowded AI trades while maintaining selective exposure to high-quality beneficiaries. The portfolio trades at a 20% market discount with faster expected EPS growth. Please review the Strategy's top five holdings for key selections in 2026.

Below Deck Mediterranean star Nathan Gallagher is facing an arrest warrant in Australia after failing to appear in court for a hearing related to domestic violence charges.
Authorities in New South Wales issued the warrant after Gallagher failed to appear in court on September 1, with prosecutors reportedly telling the court he was believed to be overseas. The development places Gallagher among a growing list of Bravo personalities who have faced arrests and criminal charges that became major storylines off-screen.
Gallagher, 28, was arrested in Australia in December 2025 following an alleged domestic violence incident. Police charged the Below Deck Mediterranean star with **** ault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally choking a person without consent, and common **** ault. He pleaded not guilty and was released on conditional bail while awaiting trial.
On September 1, a court in New South Wales convicted Gallagher in his absence after he failed to appear for his hearing. The judge found the offenses proven and issued an arrest warrant. Reports indicate authorities believe Gallagher may have left Australia.
The alleged victim was not publicly named in police documents, although court records connected to an Apprehended Violence Application reportedly involve former partner and fellow Below Deck star Gael Cameron, with whom Gallagher shares a child.

Below Deck Mediterranean star Nathan Gallagher was convicted on three counts of domestic violence on Tuesday, Sept. 1, after failing to appear in court, Us Magazine reported.
Court records obtained by News24 report that Gallagher was convicted by Judge Janine Lacy at the Burwood Local Court in Sydney, Australia.
After it was evident he was not in the courtroom, Judge Lacy told the court, "I find the offenses proven," before she issued a warrant for his arrest in addition to his conviction.
Judge Lacy also shared with the court that immigration records showed Gallagher was "currently overseas," indicating that he had fled Australia in light of his hearing.
Gallagher's legal woe stems from his arrest in December 2025, when he allegedly **** aulted a 29-year-old woman, who was later identified as Gallagher's ex-girlfriend and Below Deck Med castmate Gael Cameron.

The Twins' postseason hopes aren't dead yet, but a disastrous 8-17 August has put them firmly as a long shot. They are only four games out of a playoff spot, but teams like the Guardians, Blue Jays, and Orioles are trending in the right direction while the Twins and Mariners fade out of the picture.
At this point, the Twins need to pivot to 2027 evaluation mode and if a few bonus wins come, all the better. Walker Jenkins and Kaelen Culpepper should be in the lineup nearly every day from here on out, Gabriel Gonzalez should see every possible PA against lefties, and Emmanuel Rodriguez and Alan Roden likely need to start taking playing time away from Trevor Larnach and Josh Bell when rosters expand tomorrow.
Part of the issue recent Twins teams have run into is simply not knowing whether certain young players are truly ready to take on a bigger role, and they can't afford that heading into 2027 on a team in need of upgrades in both the lineup and pitching staff.
Speaking of pitching, after 2027, Joe Ryan, Pablo Lopez, Dean Kremer, and Bailey Ober are all free agents. Connor Prielipp and Zebby Matthews have shown flashes of brilliance this season, while Mick Abel and Kendry Rojas will be back from injury with nothing left to prove in AAA, to say nothing of pitching prospects like Riley Quick, Ryan Gallagher, and Adrian Bohorquez who will likely be ready at different points next season. Jeremy Zoll and Co. will need to sort through who of that group is worth keeping, who should be traded, who could thrive in the bullpen, and who (looking at you, Ober) maybe shouldn't be tendered a contract at all.

Below Deck Mediterranean star Nathan Gallagher, who was arrested in Dec. 2025, is reportedly facing ****** ault charges and an active warrant for his arrest from a separate incident back in 2022, Page Six reported.
Gallagher, who is from Burtonport, Ireland, was arrested on Aug. 7, 2022, for ****** aulting another man and causing harm, according to the Donegal Daily, a local news outlet in Ireland.
A bench warrant for Gallagher's arrest was filed in April 2025 and is still active. The warrant was issued at the Dungloe District Court after the Bravo star didn't appear for a court date.
The warrant for Gallagher's arrest in Ireland is unrelated to his upcoming court date in Australia for his 2025 arrest, where he allegedly ****** aulted a 29-year-old woman in New South Wales.
No serious injuries were documented at the time of the incident. After he was arrested near Melrose Park, Gallagher was taken to Gladesville Police Station, the Donegal Daily reported.

Glentoran 1 - 2 Crusaders FT
Crusaders substitute Aaron Reid scored an 88th minute winner to secure a 2-1 win for Declan Caddell's side after a dogged display over Glentoran at the Oval.
Owen Wardell put the visitors in front in the first half, before Ben Gallagher equalised on 68 minutes.
It looked like the hosts looked more likely to score again, but it was at the other end where Reid finished to secure all three points for Crusaders.

New season, new hair for Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland.
Haaland has become famed for his exceptional goal-scoring and his trademark long hair over the past several years.
Ahead of the new Premier League season, though, the Norway international has opted for a new look.
The striker shared a video on his personal YouTube channel of his transformation from long locks to a buzz cut.
In the video, Haaland called another long-haired striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, for his reaction, along with former Man City coach Pep Guardiola, Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher and Man City teammate Jack Grealish.

A New York democratic socialist lawmaker's reference to shoplifting being the result of a "biological need" is getting swift blowback.
New York state **** emblywoman Emily Gallagher suggested this week that aggressive prosecution of theft of items like soap and toothpaste was wrongheaded, saying the "true crime is that there is such incredible wealth disparity in this city that there are people who can be thrown in jail simply for having a biological need."
"This is exactly the wrong way to talk about crime and poverty. Poverty can help explain why someone commits an offense," former Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg told Fox News Digital. "It should matter when prosecutors decide how to handle a case. But poverty is not a permission slip to steal."
Aronberg, who now leads his own law firm, rejected the suggestion that prosecution necessarily means incarceration and pointed to alternatives available for first-time offenders.

Tottenham Hotspur star Jan Paul van Hecke has revealed his take that the physical approach made use of by La Liga outfit Getafe in the recent meeting between the sides was not at all necessary.
Spurs and Getafe, for those not aware, locked horns in a friendly clash on Saturday, amid ongoing preparations for the fast-approaching campaign ahead.
When all was said and done, the spoils were shared, after Alberto Risco's opener was cancelled out by Conor Gallagher.
As alluded to above, though, in the game's aftermath, it was not the outcome which proved the central talking point amongst those of a Tottenham persuasion.
Instead, widespread chatter surrounded the approach of Getafe, who, at times, tested the limits of the word 'friendly'.

The 2023 Golden Globe Awards was an incredible night for Michelle Yeoh. The 60-year-old actress had waited 40 years to play the lead in a Hollywood film, and winning the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy for her starring role in "Everything Everywhere All at Once" was a dream come true. Yeoh's moment in the spotlight made headlines that night as her award speech went viral. But following the ceremony, another moment went viral, the split second Yeoh's name was called as the winner and the reaction of her co-star, Jamie Lee Curtis.
Curtis herself had been nominated for the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in the film but didn't win. (That award went to Angela Bassett in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.") But whatever disappointment Curtis may have felt about not winning her own award did not diminish her response to Yeoh's win, which was immediate, intense and immensely joyful.
A screenshot of Curtis' triumphant celebration of Yeoh's win was shared on LinkedIn by Erin Gallagher, CEO and founder of gender equity company Ella, along with a powerful message that's resonating with women everywhere.

Sky Sports's new documentary is stacked with sobering soundbites. In one scene, boxing coach Joe Gallagher recalls hearing a mother ask her son: "Are all the lows worth that one high?" The answer, of course, was "yes". As Gallagher puts it: "Everyone wants their own Rocky story."
But as Sky explores, that doesn't always mean a rousing underdog story. Rocky's sequels showed Sylvester Stallone's character struggling with retirement, and this is the premise of The Final Round.
Releasing on Friday, the film features interviews with former world champions like Johnny Nelson and Josh Warrington, while Gallagher and Dominic Ingle are among the coaches to speak, promoter Eddie Hearn features, and commentator Andy Clarke weaves together themes of "addiction", sacrifice, and ego.

The documentary even includes one of the final interviews with the late, great Ricky Hatton, whose internal fights after retiring matched any that he had in the ring.

Editor's note: As mentioned in the match report yesterday, in a departure from our usual structure I've elaborated on some talking points based on observations I made at the ground as well as a match report; as such, I've done some deeper ******* ysis rather than the high-level talking points we might typically cover.
A fascinating encounter last night in Sydney saw Tottenham Hotspur come out the victors in their latest preseason hit-out against Sydney FC. With Roberto De Zerbi naming a stronger side than the one he selected against Auckland FC, Spurs started on the front foot and looked much the better side, without being able to convert that dominance into goals, with an excellent Mathys Tel free kick Spurs' lone goal. Following Sydney FC equalizing in the second half, the match went to penalties where Spurs held their nerve to win the shootout 2-4, with Joe Lacey hitting the post and Martin Dubravka saving Alexandar Popovic's attempt.
Here's a deep dive into a few things I took away from Spurs' latest preseason fixture.
In preseason, it's always hard to determine tactically what exactly is due to managerial instructions, the opposition, the players on the pitch, or a combination of all three. What was clear though was that Spurs were very much operating in an asymmetrical nature in a variation to their typical 4-2-3-1.
The midfield was clearly set up as a two, with Conor Gallagher in front of Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray as a #10 ; however, Gallagher often was dropping back to link play and Bergvall routinely pushed forward, as well as at times moving out into wide areas while Solomon at times tucked in. This at times left Gray as the sole holding role.

A few talking points on the starting lineup. The big news was a first start for Hayden Hackney. The other talking point for the team was the absence of Jarrad Branthwaite. It was reported that this was as part of his planned reintegration into the squad. Tyler Dibling and Mykolenko return and Jake O'Brien started on the bench. David Moyes was starting with his favourite 4-2-3-1 with Beto up top.
A lovely night in Stoke with Everton in their all blue kits. Everton were immediately on the front foot and a nice bit of interplay only broke down when Dewsbury-Hall ****** ed a ball into the box and it was easily handled by the Stoke keeper. Interestingly, it looked like Dibling was playing at right ack with Hackney in front of him.
An early corner was recycled by the Blues and when it fell to George, he laced a shot just narrowly wide of the post. A very good start from the boys in blue. Stoke tried to slow the game down and get on the ball but Everton were pressing high. When George intercepted a pass, his pass was slightly overhit for Dibling.
Everton went off the boil and some lax defending by Tarkowski allowed Gallagher in on Travers but a great leg save denied the home team. It was then Everton's turn to hold onto the ball. It was all a little scrappy. Beto did some fighting for the ball in the middle of the park with no end product. A nice ove down the right side saw Rohl deliver a nice cross but no one was there when the keeper spilled the ball.
The interplay on the left side between KDH and George was really good. However, Travers was the saviour again as Thomas drilled another shot on the goal. Everton were then hanging on as Stoke delivered cross after cross.

Everton went off the boil and some lax defending by Tarkowski allowed Gallagher in on Travers but a great leg save denied the home team. It was then Everton's turn to hold onto the ball. It was all a little scrappy. Beto did some fighting for the ball in the middle of the park with no end product. A nice ove down the right side saw Rohl deliver a nice cross but no one was there when the keeper spilled the ball.
The interplay on the left side between KDH and George was really good. However, Travers was the saviour again as Thomas drilled another shot on the goal. Everton were then hanging on as Stoke delivered cross after cross.

Charlie Gallagher – What a Player! Photo Celtic Star Books
Charlie took the corner kick that led to Billy McNeill's last gasp goal against Vojvodina in the quarter final second leg at Celtic park, a goal that would send the club into the semi-finals, so he could lay claim to having played his part on route to our iconic success.
Just a couple of years earlier, Charlie also laid on Billy McNeill's winner in the Scottish Cup final over Dunfermline, again from a corner kick.
That cup final win over the Pars was said to the the catalyst for the period of success we enjoyed under the legendary Jock Stein, so Charlie deserves great credit for his contributions to the Celtic fairytale.
Charlie who was the cousin of Paddy Crerand signed for the club in September 1958, and made his full debut a year later in a 1-0 League Cup win over Raith Rovers at Celtic Park, but it wasn't until the appointment of Jock Stein that he fully flourished, as he suffered from inconsistency due to Jimmy McGrory playing him in serval positions, without ever settling in the one role. That understandably affected his confidence.

"Cmon England cmon Wonderwall."
That was the message once again from Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher on Sunday morning, after England's travelling supporters - including Sir David Beckham - sang his band's most famous song with the players at full-time following their World Cup quarter-final win over Norway in Miami.
It has become a new tradition in recent weeks, being belted out after all five of the men's team's wins across the US and Mexico.
Speaking to the Sun after their opening win in Dallas, the man who wrote it, Liam's brother and bandmate Noel Gallagher said: "Wonderwall belongs to the people, and it was a magical moment between the people and the players."
And he claims not to be an England fan.

Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher could not help but notice Harry Kane having lost his voice after England’s dramatic win over Mexico in the World Cup 2026 last 16.
Kane scored the penalty that ultimately proved the difference between the two sides inside the Estadio Azteca, helping the Three Lions seal a sensational 3-2 victory.
Though Jude Bellingham’s two goals certainly cannot and will not be forgotten, it was Kane’s spot-kick that saw Thomas Tuchel’s team progress into the quarter-finals.
A well-taken penalty under intense pressure put 10-man England 3-1 up in the Mexican capital and while the hosts did pull one back, they could not find another.
In brilliant footage that quickly went viral, Kane lost his voice after singing towards England fans after they beat Mexico and Gallagher has reacted.
