    The Israel Defense Forces said on Thursday that it had eliminated Mahmoud Abd al-Fattah Awad, a Hamas commander who, according to the military, held seven hostages in a Gaza tunnel during the war. Awad, who was killed in an airstrike in the Gaza City area over the weekend, took part in holding hostages Daniella Gilboa, Karina Ariev, Doron Steinbrecher, Naama Levy, Ziv Berman, Omri Miran and Eitan Mor, according to the military. Awad had recently planned terror attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians, and also worked to rebuild Hamas’s capabilities “in systematic violation of the ceasefire,” the IDF said. “Prior...

    President Donald Trump will attend Saturday's college football game at Tennessee between No. 1 Texas and the No. 14 Volunteers, a source confirmed to CBS Sports' Richard Johnson. The noon Eastern showdown comes less than six weeks before November's midterm elections, and as the fate of the Protect College Sports Act hangs in the balance. Trump is a proponent of the PCSA, which would introduce a federal framework to the collegiate sports landscape, rife with chaos over issues of eligibility and compensation. However, the bill still faces legislative hurdles and has not been formally voted on in the House or...

    In an unprecedented legal action, an aborted baby won a wrongful death lawsuit settlement against the abortionist who killed him or her. The estate of a 26-week-old aborted child has collected $200,000 in a New Mexico wrongful-death settlement, in what attorneys on the case call the first payout of its kind to an aborted baby treated as a person under state law. The case, Wabbington v. Boyd, was settled and dismissed with prejudice on Sept. 14. The defendants were late-term abortionist Curtis Wayne Boyd, who then operated as Southwestern Women’s Options; Emily Cohen; and the late Carmen Landau. The complaint...

    A new poll indicates longtime Republican Sen. Susan Collins is ahead of her Democratic challenger in a crucial Senate showdown in blue-leaning Maine. Collins, who is running for a sixth six-year term in the Senate, stands at 49% support among likely voters, with former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson, the Democratic nominee, at 46%, with 5% undecided in the New York Times/Siena poll. Collins' three-point edge is within the survey's margin of error. Democrats are heavily targeting Collins as they work to flip the seat, which is key to their efforts to win back the Senate majority from the Republicans...

    A sick hospital nurse is accused of beating a 4-month-old baby girl who was born prematurely, leaving her badly battered just before she was finally set to be sent home, police said. Kieran Ansley, 43, a nurse at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan, allegedly assaulted the baby, who was found by her mother with broken leg bones and bruises on her hands, arms, thigh, buttocks, abdomen and even her tongue. “The totality of the findings resulted in a diagnosis of pediatric physical abuse,” officials allege in court documents obtained by WOOD-TV. The baby girl was born in...

    Muse, Meta’s A.I. agent, helped handle my dental insurance, booked dinner reservations and created a podcast for me. It also required my most personal data, and trust.Last week, I answered a call from an unknown number. “I reached Anthem Dental and am about to connect you,” a voice piped up.The call was from an artificial intelligence “agent” created by Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram. Ten minutes earlier, the A.I. agent had called my dental insurer, given it my member ID, answered a security question and waited on hold before transferring me to the representative — just as I had...

    Washington (AP) — Two leading progressive lawmakers, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Greg Casar, are unveiling legislation Wednesday that would ban artificial superintelligence and create a federal agency to oversee advanced AI as some of the industry’s own leaders urge Congress to impose guardrails on the advancing technology. The bill, provided first to The Associated Press, would also pause advanced AI development until guidelines are implemented while creating the Department of Artificial Intelligence. Multiple employees at leading AI companies are endorsing the bill. “It doesn’t take a genius to say, ‘slow it down,’” Sanders, I-Vt., said in an interview with...

    A total of 781 migrants arrived in 10 small boats on Wednesday, the highest number for a single day so far this year, Home Office figures show. So far this year 18,565 people have made the Channel crossing, which is 42% lower than the same period in 2025 when 32,188 had crossed in small boats. The government said its "progress this year in tackling small boats is indisputable" but it needed to "push further and harder in order to eradicate this vile trade". French authorities reported on Thursday that a man had died after having a cardiac arrest while people...

Even though they are out of the playoffs, they could actually finish the season better than two American League teams still contenting for a playoff spot. Isn't this progress?

    Hundreds of La Verne residents under evacuation orders Thursday may be out of their homes for several more days as crews work to stabilize two lithium-ion battery storage systems damaged in a fire earlier this week that remain dangerously hot. Barricades to allow emergency vehicle access have been placed around parts of the evacuation zone, which spans Moreno Avenue to the west, Foothill Boulevard to the north, B Street to the east, and Paseo Drive and Kendrick Drive to the south. Firefighters said Thursday that they are making significant progress on the incident, but there is still the potential for...

    Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) U.S. Senate candidate for Florida Angie Nixon had a paid staffer who praised Hamas “freedom fighters” and openly wished for “Zionists” to die. Nixon, who frequently quotes Marxist cop killer Assata Shakur, had a staffer named Sara Mahmoud, who worked as her social media manager. According to Fox Digital, Mahmoud has a history of controversial social media posts expressing her support for Hamas. In a post penned in 2018 she wrote, “Glory and honor to our freedom fighters. Praying for their safety and success.” Fox pointed out that she posted that on “the same day...

    A group of pro-Tibetan activists who were peacefully demonstrating against Chinese dictator Xi Jinping when he arrived in Washington, DC, on Thursday were attacked by pro-communist protesters. Protest organizers said they expected over 2,000 Tibetans living in North America to participate, along with Uyghurs and Southern Mongolians who have been oppressed by the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Hong Kongers who lost their freedoms under China’s authoritarian laws, Taiwanese worried about PRC subversion and invasion, and Chinese pro-democracy activists. Scheduled events included a march through Washington, demonstrations at the Chinese embassy, a rally near Capitol Hill, and a candlelight vigil...

    Move over Little Italy and Chinatown. Manhattan has just changed a piece of its street map, and the story behind the return of Little Spain is one that anyone passionate about their roots will appreciate. Growing up on stories of Calle Catorce Michelle Miron grew up in Brooklyn hearing about a Spanish corner of Manhattan that barely exists anymore. Her Galician father used to tell her about the dances, the restaurants and the community feel that once filled West 14th Street, a stretch that locals nicknamed “Calle Catorce”. At its peak, roughly 30,000 Spaniards called this small patch of the...

    A widely held belief that women have more emotional intelligence than men does not hold up under scrutiny, according to a large study of research spanning three decades.The analysis combined 1,279 academic papers and data from 609,278 people in 76 countries. It found that women score higher, on average, at recognising and understanding emotions. But when it comes to regulating emotions, the picture shifts: men and boys tend to score higher on tasks that involve managing their own feelings, while women score higher on tasks that involve managing other people’s. The results also depend on how emotional intelligence is measured....
