And the worst thing that I that I just can't get over is we're not working right now. And I put that criticism directly on the speaker of the House, and we should be at work. "All the people sitting in this audience, they go to work every day, people at home watching the show, they go to work every day. Ladies, you go to work every day," she told "The View" co-hosts. "It is an embarrassment to me that we're not in session and getting paid," she said, referring to lawmakers still getting paid during the shutdown. This is a developing story.

China Defends Cooperation With Venezuela, Rejects 'Use Or Threat Of Force In International Relations'

The Chinese government defended its ties with Venezuela, saying it "constitutes normal cooperation between sovereign states" and rejected "the use of threat of force in international relations" as the Trump administration escalates pressure against the South American regime. The comment was made by Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning, and comes after a report claiming that the Maduro regime has been seeking help from Venezuela, China and Iran. "China supports strengthened international cooperation to combat transnational crime and opposes the use of threat of force in international relations," Mao added. She then claimed that Beijing "opposes any attempt to undermine peace and stability in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as unilateral coercive actions against foreign vessels that exceed reasonable and necessary limits," seemingly a reference to the recent strikes against alleged drug vessels. The report in question claimed that authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro asked Russia this month to overhaul the country's defensive radars, repair military aircraft, and potentially supply missiles. In a written message sent to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Maduro requested financing and logistical support. The documents indicate that Venezuelan officials approached China and Iran with similar requests, including drones and electronic warfare tools. It remains unclear how either country responded. Last Sunday, an Il-76 military cargo aircraft previously sanctioned by the United States arrived in Caracas after routing around Western airspace. The visit came a day after Moscow ratified a new strategic agreement with Caracas. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday that Russia "respects Venezuela's sovereignty" and believes the situation should be resolved under international law. The Kremlin has also recently confirmed that it remains in contact with Maduro, citing existing "contractual obligations" between the governments. Russian presidential spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told state news agency TASS that Moscow is "in contact with our friends in Venezuela."

Syracuse Crunch Fall to Senators 7-4

When the Crunch had a power play in the second period, they let Garrett Pilon slip through and get a breakaway shot, and Halverson saved it with the blocker. The special teams overall for the Crunch over the season have looked ugly, and they seem to let people behind often. End Of My Syracuse Crunch You can’t let up seven goals and expect to win a hockey game, no matter how good you are. At some point, something has to give, and nothing showed. The Crunch started the game hot with a 1-0 lead, but from there kept falling behind, and they couldn’t catch back up. It just felt like the Senators always had a step forward, even when the game was tied. At the end of the day, it was a good effort from the team. The Crunch go on to play the Rochester Americans on Wednesday in a huge North Division matchup. Right now, the two teams are tied at the top with 14 points, but the Americans have played one more game than the Crunch. In a razor-thin North Division fight that’s expected to go until the end of the season, every point matters. The season series between them is currently 1-1. It’ll be the biggest game of the year for both teams in the young season so far.

3 Flyers that need to step up with Tyson Foerster out

The Philadelphia Flyers were riding high and off to a better-than-expected start to their 2025-26 season. They were winning hockey games, some key players were scoring timely goals, and everything seemed fine. Then a double dose of misfortunes hit Philadelphia: A weekend with two big losses that sunk them down to the bottom of the Eastern Conference, and winger Tyson Foerster going down with a fluke lower-body injury thanks to him blocking a shot.Foerster was placed on injured reserve backdated to Nov. 1 and will miss at least three more games because of it. The 23-year-old has been such an...

Hurricane death toll rises to 43 in Haiti as aid pours in across the Caribbean

At least 25 deaths occurred in the southwestern coastal town of Petit-Goave, one of the hardest hit communities. The Category 5 storm, one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record, flooded nearly 12,000 homes and destroyed nearly 200 others after its outer bands battered Haiti last week. Numerous roads remain inaccessible. The government warned that there is a shortage of drinking water in several communities, and that it will soon distribute seeds and tools to farmers facing major agricultural losses. More than 1,700 people remain in shelters. Meanwhile, in nearby Jamaica, crews were trying to reach more than two dozen communities that remained cut off since Melissa made landfall on October 28. The storm killed at least 32 people in Jamaica, with officials warning that number would rise. Mike Bassett, head of the Christian disaster relief and development organisation World Vision International, said a potential humanitarian crisis could unfold if aid is not delivered quickly. “I have been doing this for over 10 years, and I have never seen anything like this,” Mr Bassett said Tuesday while in Jamaica. He said that while visiting hurricane-ravaged communities like Chester Castle and Cambridge, people were seen bathing in a river and harvesting its water for drinking because of a lack of electricity and water supply in the hurricane’s aftermath. World Vision is among a growing list of international aid agencies and volunteers that are working independently and with Jamaican officials to administer aid. Transport and Energy Minister Daryl Vaz, who is the co-chairman of the special committee established to streamline the government’s relief and recovery efforts, said: “The relief flights are coming in fast and furious and there is no shortage of supplies.” Pearnel Charles Jr, who leads Jamaica’s Social Security Ministry, said the relief effort is being ramped up. “We are co-ordinating with every available resource,” said Mr Charles, who rejected complaints that not enough was being done to get aid to storm survivors fast enough.

Sadiq Khan Reignites Donald Trump Feud By Backing Zohran Mamdani

Sadiq Khan has reignited his long-running feud with Donald Trump by backing left-wing Democrat Zohran Mamdani to win the race to become mayor of New York. Mamdani has come under fierce attacks from the US president, who has labelled him a “communist” and amplified false claims that he is in the US illegally. Trump has also threatened to withhold US government funds from New York if Mamdani wins the election, which taking place today. The US president has been an outspoken critic of Khan too, recently telling the United Nations General Assembly that he is a “terrible terrible mayor” and accusing him of wanting to introduce Sharia Law to London. A source close to the London mayor said there were “similarities between the attacks Mamdani has faced and what Sadiq has faced in elections”. “Weaponising Mamdani’s faith and linking him to terrorism and extremism is an old campaigning tactic, and one we’re all too familiar with here in London,” the source said. “The closer we get to the election, and the more his positive vision has connected with voters in New York City, the more divisive and desperate Mamdani’s opponents have become. “The mayor hopes that like in London, New Yorkers see through the politics of hatred and fear, and embrace Mamdani’s hopeful and optimistic vision for the future.” When will the NYC mayor be announced? Polls are open from 6am until 9pm New York time (11am until 2am UK time). The first results will come in shortly after the polls close, meaning we should have a result by Wednesday morning UK time.

Toasty CPU? This microwave PC build demonstrates that you ain't seen nothing yet

Here's one for you: Imagine you've built a neat little app that acts as a one stop shop for synchronising all of your RGB devices, regardless of which manufacturer made it—how would you go about getting eyes on your free app? If you're SignalRGB, the most obvious answer was apparently by giving away wonderfully improbable and lightly cursed PC builds. This time SignalRGB is giving away a custom PC built inside of a microwave, complete with a spinning motherboard screensaver. To be clear, this isn't the shell of an old microwave simply acting as an unorthodox PC tower case—it's an all in one setup with a tiny, fully functioning monitor mounted into the microwave door itself. There are no reheated nachos to speak of here. Before you ask, yes, the buttons are functional; besides typing in '1337' and hitting 'start' to boot the contraption, those microwave buttons have been repurposed to also offer Stream Deck functionality. Naturally, everything inside and out has been lined in RGB lighting too. As for that spinning motherboard, it's the MPG Z890I EDGE TI Motherboard—though don't worry, it doesn't actually spin while in use. Mounted on top of that wee mobo is an Intel Core Ultra 5 225 CPU, and then off to the left-hand side is a Nvidia RTX 5060Ti 16GB GPU. So…it's not the most powerful gaming setup I ever did see, but the prospect of playing something like extraction shooter Arc Raiders on a literal microwave is compelling all on its own. Thankfully, Arc Raiders' community is surprisingly chill, but I'm still charmed by this microwave PCs jokey warning labels about how 'toxic lobby chat may leak through vents.' That Intel chip, however, is catching direct hits such as 'May reach temperatures hotter than actual microwave' and 'Reapply thermal paste every 30 days.' Oof. If you want to be in with a chance of this novel PC build gracing your desk or, heck, your kitchen counters, all you need to do is comment on SignalRGB's original Reddit post. This is far from the first cursed PC build its given away, revealing this PC toaster earlier this year, so if you've missed out on this one, there's likely to be another unholy kitchen appliance conversion in the near future. While I'm definitely a fan of the 'Looks like [thing] but is actually a functioning gaming PC' genre of tech tinkering, it's always an added bonus when that PC in disguise is also decently functional. The monitor mounted into the microwave door plants this firmly in the realm of novelty builds, but I still sort of hope there's a way to plug a separate screen into this setup. Besides, screens mounted inside of your desktop tower are hardly unusual these days.

Oreo launches ‘turkey and stuffing’ and ‘creamed corn’ flavored cookies for Thanksgiving

Oreo has unveiled a special tin of cookies in honor of Thanksgiving. The beloved cookie company recently announced the release of the new fudge-covered cookies in six different flavors, as part of the “Oreo Thanksgiving Dinner Cookie Tin.” This tin includes two cookie flavors based on beloved Thanksgiving desserts, like Pumpkin Pie and Caramel Apple Pie. There are also the side dish flavors, like Cranberry Sauce, Sweet Potato, and Creamed Corn cookie flavors. Last but not least is a cookie inspired by a signature Thanksgiving Day meal: Turkey and Stuffing. The limited-edition offering, which includes two cookies in each of the six flavors, is “complete with a special-edition Thanksgiving belly band,” according to a description of the product. It is also a “test-and-learn” experience, as Oreo is inviting “fans to join a bold taste journey and share their honest feedback.” “This flavor experiment is not your typical OREO indulgence,” the product description reads. “It’s a chance to try something unforgettable and help shape the future of flavor innovation.” The Thanksgiving cookies are an online exclusive, sold only on Oreo’s website for $20. Oreo isn’t the only business preparing for the holiday season. Kraft has released an Apple Pie mac and cheese flavor in honor of Thanksgiving. The limited-time offering combines two Thanksgiving staples, mac and cheese and apple pie, and is meant to serve as a conversation starter this holiday season. Kraft’s spin on the boxed favorite marries the brand’s familiar mac and cheese flavor with cinnamon hints and green apple, creating a sweet and savory dish that “feels both familiar and adventurous,” the brand said in a press release. Meanwhile, Starbucks is preparing for the winter with its holiday menu hitting stores Thursday. Returning this season are the Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Iced Sugar Cookie Latte, and Iced Gingerbread Chai. The Chestnut Praline Latte and Eggnog Latte will also be added to the menu later in the year, though a specific date has not yet been revealed. Customers can also treat themselves to holiday-themed baked goods, like the Snowman Cookie, Cranberry Bliss Bar, and Sugar Plum Cheese Danish at Starbucks locations across the U.S. Additionally, Starbucks is reviving its fan-favorite red cup promotion for the holiday season. On November 13, the chain will be offering free 16-ounce limited-edition red reusable coffee cups with the purchase of any of Starbucks’s holiday-themed drinks in-store, at a drive-thru, or on the Starbucks app for pick-up or delivery.

2025 Golden Boy: PSG's Desire Doue beats Chelsea star to prestigious award

Paris Saint-Germain attacker Desire Doue has officially won the 2025 Golden Boy award, fending off competition from some of Europe's best young players. Doue enjoyed an outstanding debut season at the Parc des Princes in 2024-25, scoring 16 goals and providing 16 assists in all competitions as Luis Enrique’s side won the Champions League, Ligue 1, and the French Cup. The 20-year-old attacker arrived at Parc des Princes for a fee of €50 million last summer and cemented his place in Enrique's starting lineup. His stellar campaign was capped off by a Man of the Match performance in the Champions League final after scoring two goals and providing one assist in the 5-0 thumping of Inter Milan. The Golden Boy award was founded by Italian newspaper Tuttosport in 2003 and recognises the best U21 footballer in world football each season. Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal was the winner of last year's edition, making him ineligible for this year’s prize as past winners cannot win twice. Doue subsequently fought off competition from the likes of Pau Cubarsi (Barcelona), Estevao (Chelsea), Kenan Yildiz (Juventus), and Dean Huijsen (Real Madrid) to win the award. This is another individual honour for the Parisians this season, following Ousmane Dembele's Ballon d'Or triumph back in September, where he beat out Yamal.

Jail term for Magherafelt man who blackmailed two women after 'cajoling' them into sharing intimate images

Cathan Quinn, with an address listed as Wesleyann Mews, was sentenced today (Tuesday, November 4) at Dungannon Crown Court for online blackmail of a sexual nature in respect of the two victims. He was sentenced to two years and two months, half of which will be served in custody and half on licence, and is subject to a restraining order for five years in respect of each victim. Speaking after the hearing, Detective Inspector Ryan said: “In early 2021, Cathan Quinn targeted two female victims. Using social media platforms, the defendant cajoled his victims into sharing intimate images. He then blackmailed both women, threatening to post the images online unless demands for money were met. “Both victims have suffered terribly throughout this nightmarish ordeal. It’s hard to truly imagine the trauma they have endured, and I am grateful to both for finding the courage to come forward and speak to us. Your support has been invaluable.” Sign up for a free Northern Ireland World newsletter and let us bring the news to you Detective Inspector Ryan added: “Today’s sentencing relates to our investigation into the online blackmail of two females. This, however, is not Quinn’s only offence of this nature. On 21 April in 2022, the defendant was given a prison sentence for similar offences against a third innocent victim, who also found the courage to speak to police.” The detective said: “I hope this sends out a very clear message to anyone who would seek to exploit and threaten others. Let me assure you, you can’t hide behind a computer or mobile screen. Rather, you will be identified and investigated. And you will be held to account. “To those innocent victims who may be experiencing similar, please don’t respond to demands. Don’t enter into further communication. If you can, confide in a trusted friend or family member, and please contact officers as soon as possible on 101. Dedicated officers will handle your case with the sensitivity you deserve.”

Election Day live updates: Key races unfold in New York City, New Jersey and Virginia

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who appeared to cast his ballot at a polling place on the East Side of Manhattan on Tuesday morning, called President Donald Trump "pragmatic" for encouraging Republican voters to support him in the New York City mayoral election, instead of the GOP nominee, Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa, to blunt a victory for Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani. "President Trump is pragmatic. He is telling them the reality of the situation, which is, if you do not vote, Mamdani is going to win. Who is Mamdani? I don't know, but he's a Democratic socialist that brings socialism to New York City. New York City will not thrive with a socialist economy," Cuomo, who is running as an independent, said on Fox News on Tuesday. "So Republicans, you have to get up and come out and vote. Even if you're not voting for a Republican, you're voting to save New York City." Cuomo went on to say that Mamdani's campaign promises to lower costs and expand government resources -- by freezing the rent temporarily on rent stabilized units, providing government-run grocery stores and free city busses -- is "all BS." "It's not up to the mayor. It's up to the state. State said they're not going to do it. It's all BS, it's all campaign rhetoric. None of it will change anybody's life," Cuomo argued. -ABC News' Brittany Shepherd

Australia to Force Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video to Spend 7.5 Percent of Revenue on Local Content

Ludo Studio/Disney+ Share on Facebook Share to Flipboard Send an Email Show additional share options Share on LinkedIn Share on Pinterest Share on Reddit Share on Tumblr Share on Whats App Print the Article Post a Comment The one thing the whole world can agree on is we want more Bluey. Australia is ready to make that a law. This week, the Australian government will formally introduce legislation that would require streamers of a certain scale to spend a percentage of their local revenue on local content. The concept is not new here — this issue was first raised in early 2023 — but the percentages are. The bill was not introduced earlier as the Aussies first waited out the 2024 U.S. presidential election and later feared that its winner, Donald Trump, could counterattack with tariffs. The legislation would mandate any streaming services with more than a million Australian subscribers must produce Australian drama, children’s, documentary, arts or educational programs — and the streamer must spend 7.5 percent of local revenue on creating local content. The number is much lighter than the 20 percent threshold that had been pushed by Screen Producers Australia. Broadcast and cable television already have similar regulations in place. “Since their introduction in Australia, streaming services have created some extraordinary shows. This obligation will ensure that those stories — our stories — continue to be made,” arts minister Tony Burke said. “We want to make sure no matter which platform people are watching, Australian stories are part of their experience,” communications minister Anika Wells said.
