Here's a roundup of news trending across the nation and world today.
What to know now:
1. Peres funeral: World leaders gathered Friday at the funeral of former Israeli leader Shimon Peres. Peres, who died from a stroke this week, was the last of the generation that founded the State of Israeli in 1948. Peres, who was 93, served in his country's government in some form for nearly 60 years. President Obama said in his eulogy, "A free life in a homeland regained. A secure life in a nation that can defend itself, by itself. A full life in friendship with nations that can be counted on as allies, always. "This was Shimon Peres's life. This is the State of Israel. This is the story of the Jewish people during the last century."
2. Duterte and Hitler: Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is facing criticism over a remark he made in which he likened himself to Hitler and the slaughter of 6 million Jews during World War II. Duterte has lead a crackdown on drug dealers and users in his country since he took office in June. Some 3,000 suspected drug users and dealers have been executed in the Philippines, many without the benefit of a trial. Duterte came under fire for saying that "Hitler massacred three million Jews... there's three million drug addicts. I'd be happy to slaughter them."
3. Ride controversy: A petition on Change.org is asking a California amusement park to reopen a Halloween attraction closed after complaints it was insensitive to the mentally ill. Knott's Berry Farm closed the attraction, which was named after a California code that allows for the committal of those with dangerous psychiatric problems, earlier this week after the park came under fire from mental health advocates.

And one more
It's a rare event people will have a tough time seeing. A "black moon" is set to rise on Friday night at 8:11 (ET). The second new moon of the month is considered a black moon. It's difficult to see because with a new moon a shadow covers the side of the moon facing Earth.
