Red Cross heading to Gaza to retrieve another hostage body, says Israel

Earlier, the group representing the Israeli hostages' families demanded that immediate action be taken to ensure Hamas handed over all the bodies. This includes delaying the second phase of US President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan. "The families urge the government of Israel, the United States administration, and the mediators not to advance to the next phase of the agreement until Hamas fulfils all of its obligations," the Hostages and Missing Families Forum said. It came after Israeli media cited an Israeli security official as saying that the Trump administration wanted to move to the second phase even if not all the hostages were found. On Saturday, Hamas's chief negotiator Khalil al-Hayya said in a statement that the group was facing "challenges" because Israeli forces had "altered the terrain of Gaza". "Moreover, some of those who buried the bodies have been martyred or no longer remember where they buried them," he added. All but one of the dead hostages still in Gaza were among the 251 people abducted during the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, during which about 1,200 other people were killed. Israel responded by launching a military campaign in Gaza, during which more than 68,500 people have been killed, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.

El Clasico: Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr 'didn't want to offend anyone' during Barcelona clash

There have been many reports in recent months that Los Blancos would consider letting Vinicius leave if they received a suitable offer. At the end of this season, the Fifa Best men's player of the year will have one year remaining on his contract but talks over a new deal have stalled. When Vinicius was substituted on Sunday, cameras from broadcaster Dazn picked up the Brazilian saying: "Always me! I'm leaving the team! It's better if I leave, I'm leaving." Real coach Xabi Alonso responded by saying: "I focus on a lot of positive things in the game, and positive things from Vini. We'll talk about [his reaction], of course." On the clashes after the final whistle, Alonso said: "I interpret it with normality. We don't have to make too much of it. "It's the tension of the moment, for them and us. These scuffles have always happened."

Charlie Kirk shooting suspect Tyler Robinson wins legal victory.. as he's allowed to avoid showing his face in hearings

Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin Tyler Robinson will be allowed to dress in civilian clothing for his trial, a judge has ruled. The 22-year-old, who is accused of fatally shooting the conservative activist at Utah Valley University on September 10, was granted the legal victory on Monday afternoon. Though he did not appear on camera, when asked by District Court Judge Tony F. Grant Jr. if he could hear, Robinson said: 'Yes I can.' Robinson was allowed not to show his face in a Provo courthouse at planned in-person hearing on Thursday that has since been canceled. District Court Judge Tony F. Grant Jr. said he has allowed Robinson to wear civilian attire because 'the presumption of innocence remains.' Although he will be allowed to avoid jail clothing, Robinson will have to wear handcuffs in the courtroom, the judge decided. 'The court recognizes that Mr. Robinson has no criminal history and no record of misconduct while in custody, however the charges he faces are extraordinarily serious, carrying potential penalties of life imprisonment or death,' Judge Grant Jr. added. Cameras have also been banned from showing 'him entering, exiting or standing in the courtroom.' His restraints are not allowed to be photographed or recorded, per the judge. These decisions follow suit with two of the most recent prolific murder trials involving convicted murderer Bryan Kohberger and alleged assassin Luigi Mangione. This is a breaking news story.

World's Oldest President, Paul Biya, Once Again Wins Cameroon Election At 92

Cameroon President Paul Biya, world’s oldest serving ruler, on Monday became the leader for the eight time, triggering clashes between security forces and opposition-back supporters who claimed that the vote was rigged. According to Reuters, the supporters of opposition candidate Issa Tchiroma Bakary, armed with sticks and stones, blocked off roads with debris and burning tyres in the commercial capital Douala. In response, police fired tear gas at the protesters. With the election results being announced, the 92-year-old President will likely continue until he is almost 100. Biya took office for the first time in 1982 and continued to be the President while doing away with the presidential term limit in 2008 and winning reelection by comfortable margins, Reuters reported. “At this point in time when the sovereign people have once again placed their trust in me for a new term of office, my first thoughts are with all those who have unnecessarily lost their lives, as well with their families, as a result of the post-election violence,” he said in a post on X. Reuters quoted official results as stating that Biya won the October 12 vote by a comfortable margin of 53.66% against 35.19% for opposition leader Tchiroma. The opposition said that four people died in clashes in Douala. “We all know that the majority of Cameroon’s people voted for Issa Tchiroma Bakary,” said one protester. “It is inadmissible that President Paul Biya won in certain war zones.” Interestingly, Biya’s daughter Brenda had published a now-deleted TikTok video urging voters not to choose her father, Reuters reported. “We expect unrest to escalate as Cameroonians widely reject the official result, and we cannot see the Biya government lasting much longer,” said Francois Conradie, lead political economist at Oxford Economics.

Who Was George Atkinson? Raiders Legend And Broadcaster Dead At 78 After A Storied Career

George Atkinson, one of the most celebrated defensive backs in Raiders history and a member of the team’s storied Super Bowl XI championship squad, has died aged 78, the team announced in a statement Monday. Selected in the seventh round of the 1968 AFL Draft out of Morris Brown College, Atkinson quickly established himself as a hard-hitting safety and dynamic return man. He earned co-AFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honours and became an AFL All-Star in both 1968 and 1969. His aggressive playstyle helped shape the Raiders’ identity throughout the 1970s, when he anchored the secondary known as the “Soul Patrol,” alongside Jack Tatum, Willie Brown, and Skip Thomas. The Raiders’ statement remembered him not only as a formidable athlete but also as a cherished presence within the organisation: “George’s contributions as a friend and mentor to everyone in the Raiders organisation continued long after his playing career, and his genuine personality and wonderful sense of humour will be dearly missed by everyone who knew him.” A Lifelong Raider and Voice of the Team Atkinson recorded 30 interceptions, 13 fumble recoveries, and seven career touchdowns — four on defence and three from punt returns, including two during his rookie campaign. His versatility and grit were instrumental in guiding the Raiders to five consecutive AFC Championship Games and their first Super Bowl title in 1977. After retiring from professional football in 1979, Atkinson transitioned seamlessly into broadcasting, serving for years as part of the Raiders Radio Network’s pregame and postgame coverage. Teammates and fans often credited him for keeping the spirit of the franchise alive through his commentary, leadership, and mentorship of younger players. Personal Tragedies and Resilience Off the field, Atkinson endured profound loss with the deaths of his twin sons — George Atkinson III, a former Notre Dame and NFL running back who died by suicide in 2019, and Josh Atkinson, who died of suicide the year before. Despite those personal tragedies, Atkinson continued to advocate for mental health awareness within the football community, discussing the emotional and neurological toll of the sport. Fans and former players flooded social media with tributes, recalling Atkinson as “a true Raider in every sense.” Raiders owner Mark Davis called him “a symbol of loyalty and heart,” while NFL historian Chris Willis described him as “the link between the Silver and Black’s ferocity and its soul.” Get Latest News Live on Times Now along with Breaking News and Top Headlines from US News and around the World.

Deputy national security adviser ‘surprised’ Chinese spying case was dropped

Deputy national security adviser ‘surprised’ Chinese spying case was dropped

The deputy national security adviser believed he had provided enough evidence to support the prosecution of two alleged Chinese spies, MPs and peers have heard. The case against Christopher Cash, a former parliamentary researcher, and Christopher Berry – who both deny wrongdoing – collapsed in September. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said it did not have enough evidence to secure a conviction. Westminster scrutiny has focused on witness statements made by deputy national security adviser Matt Collins, who had declined to say that China posed “a threat to national security” as it did not reflect the policy of the then-Conservative government. Giving evidence to Parliament’s Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy on Monday, Mr Collins said he had been “surprised” to learn on September 3 that the case was going to be dropped. He told the committee: “I was advised throughout by external counsel, and I discussed several times with my legal team, whether we felt we had given enough. “It was his advice that he thought we had.” Mr Collins also said he had been “very clear” with the CPS that he would say that “China poses a series of threats to the UK’s national security”. He added: “I believe what they were asking me to say was to use the generic term that China is a threat, or China is an active threat, which is not in line with government policy at the time.” Earlier, the committee had heard from the director of public prosecutions, Stephen Parkinson, who said the evidence Mr Collins provided would have seen the case thrown out of court halfway through. Mr Parkinson said Mr Collins’ evidence did not provide evidence China was an “active threat” to national security “in terms” asked for, and lawyers for the defence would therefore have been able to successfully argue there was “no case to answer”. But Mr Parkinson declined to lay responsibility for the case’s collapse with anyone, saying it was not “a question of blame”. He said: “The responsibility of prosecutors is to place cases before the court on the basis of sufficient evidence to secure a conviction. “And ultimately, the issue in this case is that we were not able to provide the evidence to sustain the case in respect of one essential element, which was the element that China was an enemy, as was required by the statute.” Mr Collins initially provided a witness statement in 2024, on the strength of which the CPS decided to charge Mr Cash and Mr Berry. But following a judgment later that year on the definition of an “enemy” according to the Official Secrets Act, prosecutors asked him for more evidence, hoping that he would describe China as a “threat” or “active threat” to national security. Mr Collins provided two further witness statements in which he set out the threats China posed in cyberspace and to the UK’s democratic institutions, but did not describe Beijing as a “generic” threat. One of those witness statements also included language reflecting the current Labour government’s policy of pursuing a positive trading relationship with China, but Mr Parkinson denied that this had undermined the prosecution. He said: “To be clear, the problem has always been that those three witness statements were insufficient to enable us to prove the case.” Asked why he had included the current Government’s policy in his witness statement, Mr Collins said he had been advised to do so by counter-terrorism police “for fear that there would be a wedge driven between my witness statements and the new Government’s policy”. Mr Collins also denied that he had discussed his second or third witness statements with ministers or special advisers, saying he had been told that to do so “may pervert the course of justice”. He also insisted that a meeting on September 1, shortly before he was informed the case was going to collapse, had discussed his evidence in the case. The meeting, which was also attended by civil servants and national security adviser Jonathan Powell, has been the focus of significant speculation in Westminster. But both Mr Collins and Cabinet Secretary Sir Chris Wormald said it had only discussed “different scenarios” of Britain’s relationship with China “and how to handle them”. Mr Collins said there had been “at least four lawyers in the room who ensured that there was no discussion about the evidence that was going forward in the case”. On Wednesday, the committee will hear from Attorney General Lord Hermer and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Darren Jones.

Mercadona confirms new opening hours for All Saints’ Day holiday

Shoppers are advised to plan ahead this All Saints’ Day as Mercadona confirms shorter opening hours across Spain – with several regions keeping stores closed altogether. Mercadona has officially announced a special schedule for Saturday, November 1, when Spain celebrates All Saints’ Day, a national public holiday. While most of the supermarket chain’s stores will remain open, the retailer will operate with reduced hours – from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. only. This means customers will have just the morning to do their shopping, as all Mercadona stores will close in the afternoon. Mercadona adapts to the national holiday The company, led by Juan Roig, shared the update through its official channels and in-store notices displayed near checkout areas and aisles. The change, it explained, is part of its ongoing policy of balancing customer service with employee well-being, especially during major national holidays. While the shortened schedule applies to most of Spain, not all regions will open. According to Mercadona, stores in Galicia, Navarra, and the Basque Country will remain closed throughout the day, along with some supermarkets in Huesca (Aragón). For customers unsure about their local store’s hours, Mercadona recommends using the supermarket locator tool on its official website, which provides real-time information by region. Why Mercadona changes its hours on public holidays Mercadona traditionally closes on Sundays and public holidays, except in special cases – such as when a national holiday falls on a Saturday or during the busy summer tourist season, when demand is higher in coastal and holiday areas. This All Saints’ Day adjustment allows the company to maintain service during the morning while ensuring staff still enjoy part of the festive weekend. The retailer’s approach has long been praised by both customers and employees for offering a fair balance between accessibility and rest, a principle Mercadona has repeatedly highlighted as part of its corporate culture. Customers encouraged to shop early With shorter hours expected to create a busier-than-usual morning rush, Mercadona suggests that shoppers plan their visits early to avoid queues or empty shelves. The chain remains one of Spain’s most trusted supermarkets, serving millions of customers each week. However, public holiday timetables like this one remind shoppers that even large national chains adjust their pace when tradition and celebration take centre stage. So, whether you’re planning a big family lunch or a quiet weekend at home, remember: Mercadona will be open only from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, November 1 – and completely closed in certain regions.
