Hezbollah fires more than 180 rockets and other projectiles into Israel, wounding at least 7 BEIRUT (AP) — Hezbollah has fired at least 185 rockets and other projectiles into Israel, wounding seven people in the militant group's heaviest barrage in several days. The attacks in northern and central Israel happened Sunday in response to deadly Israeli strikes in central Beirut on Saturday. Meanwhile, negotiators pressed on with cease-fire efforts to halt the all-out war. Lebanon's military says an Israeli strike on a Lebanese army center in the southwest killed one soldier and wounded 18 others. Israel's military has expressed regret and said its operations are directed solely against the militants. Lebanon’s caretaker prime minister condemned the latest strike as an assault on the U.S.-led cease-fire efforts. Israel cracks down on Palestinian citizens who speak out against the war in Gaza UMM AL-FAHM, Israel (AP) — In the year since the war in Gaza broke out, Israel's government has been cracking down on dissent among its Palestinian citizens. Authorities have charged Palestinians with “supporting terrorism” because of posts online or for demonstrating against the war. Activists and rights watchdogs say Palestinians have also lost jobs, been suspended from schools and faced police interrogations. Palestinians make up about 20% of Israel's population. Many feel forced to self-censor out of fear of being jailed and further marginalized in society. Others still find ways to dissent, but carefully. Israel's National Security Ministry counters that, “Freedom of speech is not the freedom to incite.” Israel says rabbi who went missing in the UAE was killed TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel says the body of an Israeli-Moldovan rabbi who went missing in the United Arab Emirates has been found, citing Emirati authorities. The statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on Sunday said Zvi Kogan was killed, calling it a “heinous antisemitic terror incident.” It said: “The state of Israel will act with all means to seek justice with the criminals responsible for his death." Kogan went missing on Thursday, and there were suspicions he had been kidnapped. His disappearance comes as Iran has been threatening to retaliate against Israel after the two countries traded fire in October. The rising price of paying the national debt is a risk for Trump's promises on growth and inflation WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump has big plans for the economy. He also has big debt problem that'll be a hurdle to delivering on those plan. Trump has bold ambitions on tax cuts, tariffs and other programs. But high interest rates and the price of repaying the federal government’s existing debt could limit what he’s able to do. The federal debt stands at roughly $36 trillion, and the spike in inflation after the pandemic has pushed up the government’s borrowing costs such that debt service next year will easily exceed spending on national security. Moscow offers debt forgiveness to new recruits and AP sees wreckage of a new Russian missile KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law granting debt forgiveness to new army recruits who enlist to fight in Ukraine. The measure, whose final version appeared on a government website Saturday, underscores Russia’s needs for military personnel in the nearly 3-year-old war, even as it fired last week a new intermediate-range ballistic missile. Russia has ramped up military recruitment by offering increasing financial incentives to those willing to fight in Ukraine. Ukraine’s Security Service on Sunday showed The Associated Press wreckage of the new intermediate-range ballistic missile that struck a factory in the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Thursday. Forecasts warn of possible winter storms across US during Thanksgiving week WINDSOR, Calif. (AP) — Forecasters in the U.S. have warned of another round of winter weather that could complicate travel leading up to Thanksgiving. California is bracing for more snow and rain this weekend while still grappling with some flooding and small landslides from a previous storm. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for California's Sierra Nevada through Tuesday, with heavy snow expected at high elevations. Thousands remained without power in the Seattle area on Saturday after a “bomb cyclone” storm system hit the West Coast earlier in the week, killing two people. Parts of the Northeast and Appalachia also began the weekend with heavy precipitation. After Trump's win, Black women are rethinking their role as America's reliable political organizers ATLANTA (AP) — Donald Trump's victory has dismayed many politically engaged Black women, and they're reassessing their enthusiasm for politics and organizing. Black women often carry much of the work of getting out the vote, and they had vigorously supported the historic candidacy of Kamala Harris. AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters, found that 6 in 10 Black women said the future of democracy was the single most important factor for their vote this year, a higher share than for other demographic groups. But now, some Black women are renewing calls to emphasize rest, focus on mental health and become more selective about what fight they lend their organizing power to. Pakistan partially stops mobile and internet services ahead of pro-Imran Khan protest ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan has suspended mobile and internet services “in areas with security concerns” as supporters of imprisoned former premier Imran Khan gear up for a protest in the capital. The government and Interior Ministry made the announcement on X, which is banned in Pakistan. Sunday's protest is to demand Khan's release. He has been in prison for more than a year but remains popular. His supporters rely heavily on social media and messaging apps to coordinate with each other. Pakistan has already sealed off Islamabad and shut down major roads and highways connecting the city with Khan's power bases. Uruguay's once-dull election has become a dead heat in the presidential runoff MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP) — Uruguayans are heading to the polls to choose their next president. In Sunday's election, the candidates of the conservative governing party and the left-leaning coalition are locked in a close runoff after failing to win an outright majority in last month’s vote. It's a hard-fought race between Álvaro Delgado, the incumbent party’s candidate, and Yamandú Orsi from the Broad Front, a coalition of leftist and center-left parties that governed for 15 years until the 2019 victory of center-right President Luis Lacalle Pou — overseeing the legalization of abortion, same-sex marriage and the sale of marijuana in the small South American nation. Chuck Woolery, smooth-talking game show host of 'Love Connection' and 'Scrabble,' dies at 83 NEW YORK (AP) — Chuck Woolery, the affable, smooth-talking game show host of “Wheel of Fortune,” “Love Connection” and “Scrabble” who later became a right-wing podcaster, skewering liberals and accusing the government of lying about COVID-19, has died. He was 83. Mark Young, Woolery’s podcast co-host and friend, said in an email early Sunday that Woolery died at his home in Texas with his wife, Kristen, present. Woolery, with his matinee idol looks, coiffed hair and ease with witty banter, was inducted into the American TV Game Show Hall of Fame in 2007 and earned a daytime Emmy nomination in 1978. He teamed up with Young for the podcast “Blunt Force Truth” and became a full supporter Donald Trump.
Toronto Argonauts sign American running back Kevin BrownA TELLY gangster’s moll, a chef who promises to treat dancing like risotto and an Olympic gold medallist are among the five newest names for Dancing With The Stars. The RTE show returns to screens next month with a bit of Kin thrown in as Yasmin Seky takes to the dance floor. She’s best known for playing Nikita Murphy, the partner of gang enforcer Eric ‘Viking’ Kinsella, played by Sam Keeley. Yasmin, from Cabra in Dublin , said: “I’m a little nervous, as I’ve never really done anything like this before. But I’m really excited too. “I suppose nervousness and excitement manifests in the body the same way, so I don’t know which one I am! I think the anxiety that I have from time to time motivated me to take part. “With acting on screen, if you mess up you can go again, but with this you get one shot and you just have to make it happen!” Yasmin starred in a short film as a teen but never considered acting as a career until casting director Louise Kiely got in touch ten years later to get her to audition for Kin. She went on to win the Royal Television Society Ireland Award for Best Newcomer for her role and is currently filming a Channel 5 crime drama, The Puzzle Lady in Northern Ireland , starring Downton Abbey star Phyllis Logan. Meanwhile RTE will be hoping for an online bounce by signing up social media star Kayleigh Trappe. The former primary school teacher has amassed over 400,000 followers on TikTok and Instagram . Kayleigh, 29, posts comedy sketch videos, in which she lip syncs along to famous pop culture clips Some of her most sketches have even attracted attention from those she has imitated, including Nadine Coyle and the cast of Derry Girls. But Kayleigh expects moving off people’s phones and onto the small screen to be a “big change”. She said: “I’m so excited. It feels so surreal, especially because I’m so used to just being behind the camera in the comfort of my own home, and now I’m going full glitz and glam. “It’s a big change but I can’t wait to get the Glitterball rolling! This type of glam has never been a part of my life, but I have so much support from my family and friends at home in Monaghan. I can’t wait to be in the midst of it all now.” Telly chef Kevin Dundon is also ready to cook up some dance routines — and he’s looking forward to impressing his wife. The Dublin kitchen whizz, 58, who has cooked for Irish and US presidents and the late Queen Elizabeth, said: “The fact that I’m actually going to learn to dance means that my wife will hopefully now enjoy dancing with me at weddings, and I won’t make a complete fool of myself! I’m a little bit nervous, as it’s quite difficult to learn the moves. “It’s tricky. As a chef, I’m coordinated, but not with my feet. My first dance is an American smooth, so I’m going to treat it like a risotto, nice and slow with a little bit of excitement at the end.” Season eight of DWTS will feature two Olympians with gymnast Rhys McClenaghan joining taekwondo star Jack Woolley on the show . Named RTE’s Sportsperson of the Year in 2023, the Co Down man became the first person to win a gold medal in pommel horse for Ireland at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The 25-year-old said: “I’m thrilled to take on this new challenge and look forward to bringing some gymnastics skills to the dance floor. I am approaching my training for the 2025 competition year differently. “I took some time to travel, and as I begin my first training block for the LA Games, I will also have some fun figuring out how to dance! "Hopefully, with the guidance of my pro dance partner, I can bring some of my pommel horse flair to the dance floor, too.” Meanwhile Virgin Media star Elaine Crowley will be hoping to win fans over on rival station RTE after signing up for the show. The Cork presenter, 47, has been incredibly honest in the past about the personal struggles she has faced throughout her long career. She was praised for revealing her diagnosis with dysphoria, a mental state which means she will often feel deeply uneasy or low. But Elaine is ready to try something new. She said: “I’ve never done anything remotely like this before, never mind in front of so many people. “But my eldest sister said to me, you haven’t put yourself out of your comfort zone for decades. You can interview the politicians. You can do all the stuff on Ireland AM , but challenge yourself for once. “So bring it on. What’s the worst that can happen?” Eurovision’s Mickey Joe Harte, comedian Gearoid Farrelly, Mrs Brown’s Boys actor Danny O’Carroll and ex-Miss Universe Ireland Aishah Akorede are also taking part. The final celeb's name will be revealed this weekend.Animals Don't miss out on the headlines from Animals. Followed categories will be added to My News.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Haiti’s health minister has been removed from his post following , government officials said Thursday. According to two government officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the subject, Health Minister Duckenson Lorthe will be replaced by Justice Minister Patrick Pelissier until a new health minister is found. Two journalists and a police officer were killed Tuesday as who were there to cover the facility’s reopening. It was one of the worst attacks on Haitian media in recent memory. Seven other journalists were wounded. Jean Feguens Regala, a photographer , said journalists had been invited to the hospital by the health ministry but there was little security at the site. “The fact that the minister of health invited us, you feel that preparations have been made already,” Regala told The Associated Press. “When we made contact with a police unit, the police told us they were not aware of the event.” The health minister did not show up at the event, for reasons that have not been explained. Shortly after the attack, Johnson “Izo” André — considered Haiti’s most powerful gang leader and part of the Viv Ansanm group of gangs that has taken control of much of Port-au-Prince — posted a video on social media claiming responsibility for the attack. The video said the gang coalition had not authorized the hospital’s reopening. Gang violence has worsened in Haiti, with crippling the country’s capital and plunging Haiti into an unprecedented crisis. Gangs are believed to control 85% of Port-au-Prince. The Caribbean country has struggled to organize an election that will restore democratic rule, and is currently governed by a transitional council made up of representatives of political parties, business groups and civil society organizations. Evens Sanon, The Associated PressPresident-elect Donald Trump on Friday voiced his support for putting an end to daylight saving time. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said his party will try to stop the practice of changing clocks twice a year. "The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn't!" Trump wrote. "Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation." Trump's Previous Comments on Daylight Saving Time The president-elect previously indicated he's in favor of dropping daylight saving time during his first administration. On March 11 of 2019, a day after most Americans turned their clocks forward an hour, Trump wrote on X (then known as Twitter ) how the time change should remain permanent. "Making Daylight Saving Time permanent is O.K. with me!" Trump posted at the time. Why We Have Daylight Saving Time The practice of changing the time on clocks in the United States began more than 100 years ago after several other countries had already started similar policies. Daylight saving time, also referred to as "DST," was formally introduced in the U.S. with the Standard Time Act of 1918 as a measure to save resources needed for World War I and as a way extend the work day. However, a year-round DST was not put into effect until 1942, also as a wartime measure. This is a developing story and will be updated when more information becomes available.
