ROCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Nikki Haley vowed to stand with Israel “every step of the way.” She promised to “decimate” the Iranian economy. And she called for continued funding for Ukraine as it fights to repel the Russian invasion. “It’s a dangerous world right now,” Haley told Republican primary voters gathered inside New Hampshire’s American Legion Post No. 7 as a new war raged in the Middle East. “And this is gonna get messier before it gets better.”Less than 24 hours later, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told New Hampshire business leaders that the United States should stop funding Ukraine until there is a clear strategy. He was more focused on what he saw as a threat posed by foreign nationals at the U.S.-Mexico border. And Israel, he said, has a right to defend itself.“I don’t think there’s going to be a lot we even need to do militarily,” DeSantis said of the war between Israel with Hamas. “We may have to provide some additional support like we’ve traditionally done, but I...Venice mayor orders halt to buses operated by company following second crash that injured 15

ROME (AP) — The mayor of Venice ordered an immediate stop to electric buses operated by La Linea company after a bus crashed in the Italian city, injuring 15 people. This is the company’s second accident following the fiery Oct.3 collision that killed 21 people. The bus crashed Saturday evening into a building in Mestre, a Venice borough. The injured were not in serious condition, Mayor Luigi Brugnaro said in a statement.On Oct. 3, an all-electric bus — carrying foreign tourists — fell from an elevated street in Mestre en route to a camping site near the community of Marghera. The bus fell a few meters before crashing close to railway tracks, where it caught fire.The Italian driver and 20 foreign tourists were killed. City officials suggested the driver, Alberto Rizzotto, who had an untarnished record, may have suffered a heart attack. But according to the local daily Corriere del Veneto, preliminary results of his autopsy dispelled that.The investigation is still ongoing.

HALIFAX — Three years after a First Nation started a self-regulated lobster fishery that sparked protests and violence in Nova Scotia, federal prosecutors are pressing ahead with charges against dozens of Indigenous fishers, some of whom are planning constitutional challenges.On Sept. 17, 2020, the Sipekne’katik First Nation issued five lobster licences to its members, saying they could trap and sell their catch outside the federally regulated season.The bold move came exactly 21 years after the Supreme Court of Canada affirmed the treaty right of Indigenous groups in Eastern Canada to hunt and fish for a moderate livelihood, but interpretations of that landmark ruling remain in dispute.In the months that followed the start of Sipekne’katik’s “moderate livelihood fishery,” there were confrontations on the water, rowdy protests and riots at two lobster pounds, one of which was razed by a deliberately set fire. The fishing and the violent response have le...6 killed in Russian attacks on Ukraine as Kyiv continues drone counterstrikes

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) - The temperatures may have cooled from Central Texas’ stifling hot summer, but some people are still pretty heated up about spending some of those triple-digit days without air conditioning. Jessica Leal is one of them. For about two weeks last month, she said she either had no air conditioning or just a window unit in one room provided by her apartment management company. That’s despite, she said, notifying management several times that she did not have a proper working AC.Jessica Leal believes her 7-year-old daughter, Mackenzie became sick because the AC was not working in their apartment (Courtesy: Jessica Leal)“I’ve had to keep my cool when I’ve called,” she said, even though she, her wife and daughter were sweating it out in their southwest Austin home. “Anywhere from 85 to 90 degrees in our apartment.”Leal said the heat took a toll on her 7-year-old daughter, Mackenzie.“One night she started complaining that she couldn’t breathe and that she wa...Readers and writers: After 34 years, Patty Wetterling tells the story in her own words

As I worked to help my kids feel less scared, I was finding my own way to rebuild our world. It felt like everything that had ever been meaningful to me — every gift, every cherished moment — had been tossed up into the air and was swirling around me like money in a wind machine. Day by day, I pictured myself reaching out and grasping for one thing at a time, clinging to it, then desperately reaching for another one as the storm raged all around me. — from “Dear Jacob”It’s been 34 years since Jacob Wetterling was kidnapped by a masked man as he and his brother, Trevor, and a friend biked near their home in St. Joseph, Minn.

October 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of one of the most tumultuous months in American history. Do you recall the events of October 1973?• Oct. 6, 1973 – On Yom Kippur, the most sacred day in the Jewish calendar, Arab states led by Egypt and Syria and supported by the Soviet Union launched an all-out war to exterminate Israel. This developed into the proxy war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.• Oct. 10 – The Watergate investigation shifted to the White House. Then-Vice President Agnew walked into a federal courthouse and pled no contest to felony tax evasion (bribes), thereby resigning from office.Steve Booren• Oct. 19 – Arab OPEC members embargoed oil exports to the U.S., driving long lines and skyrocketing prices for gasoline.

One River North, a 16-story apartment tower nearing completion in the River North neighborhood, has drawn attention for its facade’s distinctive “canyon” for the past several weeks.Now the highly anticipated building is filling that multi-story canyon with trees, bushes and plants, essentially inviting the great outdoors into the building in a way no other structure ever has in Denver.“Plant material is the soul of the building,” said Kevin Ratner, co-founder and managing partner of The Max Collaborative, which is developing the project.Normally, when nature pierces the frame of a building and trees and plants take over the interior, it isn’t a good thing. But at One River North, the facade was ripped open by design, making it among the most architecturally distinct buildings in the city’s history.Denver was an early adapter of green roof ordinances, but One River North isn’t content to wear a green hat.
