Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently stood next to President Trump in Israel's parliament in Jerusalem and summarized the last two years of war: "Israel achieved amazing victories over Hamas and the entire Iran terror axis Sinwar, Deif, Haniyah, Nasrallah, Assad they're all gone." This list refers to countries (Iran, Syria and Lebanon), groups (Hamas and Hezbollah) and individuals (Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif and Ismail Haniyah of Hamas, Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah and Bashar al-Assad of Syria) that have been Israel's main enemies for decades.

More than 40 million Americans will soon be without federal food assistance. The Trump administration says there will be no money for SNAP benefits starting Nov. 1. The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that it will not use emergency funds to address this situation. The White House is placing blame on Democrats for this outcome, similar to its approach with various other issues related to the shutdown over the past month.

Hurricane Melissa intensified to Category 5 strength Monday as it neared Jamaica with up to 30 inches (76 centimeters) of rain and a life-threatening storm surge. Melissa is forecast to make landfall on the island Tuesday and cross Cuba and the Bahamas through Wednesday. Melissa was centered about 130 miles (205 kilometers) south-southwest of Kingston, Jamaica, and about 315 miles (505 kilometers) south-southwest of Guantanamo, Cuba, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said. The hurricane had maximum sustained winds of 160 mph (260 kph) and was moving west at 3 mph (6 kph), the center said.

Last winter, Amber Wingler started getting a series of increasingly urgent messages from her local hospital in Columbia, Missouri, letting her know her family's health care might soon be upended. MU Health Care, where most of her family's doctors work, was mired in a contract dispute with Wingler's insurance company, Anthem. The existing contract was set to expire. Then on March 31, Wingler received an email alerting her that the next day, Anthem was dropping the hospital from its network. It left her reeling.

At Madison Square Garden, the lights were bright and the energy was real as No. 5 St. John's took the floor against No. 7 Michigan in an exhibition that felt far more like a March showdown than a preseason tune-up. This game absolutely lived up to its hype, with both teams exchanging blows for all 45 minutes, but Michigan came out victorious with a 9694 overtime win. Yaxel Lendeborg led all scorers with 25 points on 10-of-15 shooting from the field, adding 10 rebounds for a double-double.

"We're up two scores last week at Georgia -- where they never lose except Alabama -- and we didn't finish it off," Kiffin said afterward. "We got knocked down. And so that same situation happens today on the road; [ranked] team, No. 1 defense in the country. Can we be stronger in those situations, especially defensively? For that to happen, it's really cool."

She was a perfectionist. She strived for the highest degree of work. And in a short space of time, she moved from being a police officer to Internal Affairs, to a second-degree detective. I want her to be remembered as an officer who was loved by her peers and greatly, greatly loved by her family. And we miss her so much.

From homes and hotels to churches, theaters, and cemeteries, there's no shortage of supposedly haunted places across the United States. Nearly every state has its own eerie legends - stories of restless spirits, mysterious footsteps in empty hallways, and unexplained flickering lights that locals swear attest to these spots being haunted by spirits. Many of these sites are also steeped in history, with tragic pasts or notorious events.

"Nick was more than a legendary center," said Jets Chairman Woody Johnson in a prepared statement. "He was the heartbeat of our offensive line for a decade and a beloved teammate whose leadership and toughness defined an era of Jets football. Off the field, Nick's wit, warmth, and unwavering loyalty made him a cherished member of our extended Jets family."

Catholic parishioners rushed to deliver food boxes to immigrants too terrified to leave their homes in the California city of Coachella after federal immigration agents swept through Latino neighborhoods during the summer. Just south of Arizona's border in Nogales, Mexico, Catholic nuns, laypeople and volunteers at the Kino Border Initiative, despite rising threats against aid workers, cook and serve two meals daily for immigrants who have been deported or lost their chances at US asylum in Donald Trump's crackdown.

Stanford was tied with No. 9 Miami at halftime, but then the difference between the rebuilding program and the playoff hopeful became apparent. Miami scored 35 unanswered points in en route to a 42-7 win Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium. The Cardinal (3-5, 2-3) fell to 0-4 on the road and 0-3 against teams ranked in the AP Top 25, while the Hurricanes (6-1, 2-1 ACC) bounced back from last week's loss to Louisville.

A drunken driver struck and killed an e-bike rider in Melville early Saturday morning, according to the Suffolk County Police Department. Jennifer Kirkpatrick, 24, was driving south on Bagatelle Road in a 2018 Subaru Forester just after 1 a.m. when she attempted to make a left turn onto eastbound Express Drive South and collided with Joseph Melendez, 28, of Wyandanch, who was riding a "Razor fly-wing e-bike" northbound, according to police.

The third-year defensive end is reportedly a healthy scratch for the first time in his career on Sunday, an indication of just how far he has fallen since the Patriots drafted him in the second round in 2023. He was projected to thrive under Mike Vrabel, after a tough year in the Jerod Mayo era, but we have yet to see that come to fruition.

The AH-64 Apache has been the U.S. Army's go-to attack helicopter since entering service in 1986 (first flight in 1975). Across its A/D/E variants, the Apache has earned a stellar reputation and long combat record. Despite being roughly 40 years old, this attack helicopter can still dominate the battlefield and any mission the Army can throw at it. What makes these helicopters especially popular and iconic is that they typically serve one role on any given military force and that is combat.

That, however, prompted concerns about his return, along with what kind of attitude he might bring to the locker room. Those were certainly valid, considering how he went about getting traded from the Vikings and the Bills. But none of that has been an issue so far since he arrived in Foxboro, and he continues to prove his value to the team beyond his impressive performances, particularly with his leadership.

A solitary horseman, illuminated by a beam of light, stands on the snow, surrounded by eerie and jagged mountain peaks. It's an otherworldly image and it raises the question: How did a photographer manage to make such a captivating picture? The answer: Drones! That particular photo, titled "The Lone Horseman," by Dennis Schmelz, a filmmaker based in Germany took top honors in this year's Sienna awards, a global competition that celebrates the art of aerial photography captured by drones.

My family and I have been watching post-season baseball, and I think I have to lie down. We've seen so many ads for drugs prescribed to treat plaque psoriasis, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis that I'm sure I've developed a rash, nausea, joint pain and dizziness. Just by watching. iSpot, the TV ad news site, says drug companies bought 895.8 million dollars worth of ads in sports programming last year.

USIF is known for its clear communication and transparent processes, which have helped it achieve a 100% success rate on all adjudicated EB-5 projects. The firm's leaders often emphasize that behind every investment is a human story-one of ambition, opportunity, and contribution. "We don't just manage projects; we help families build futures," a spokesperson said. "Each investment represents a bridge between cultures and economies."

Missouri quarterback Beau Pribula was carted off the field with an air cast on his left leg after he was awkwardly tackled on a fourth-and-goal play in the third quarter of the No. 15 Tigers' game at No. 10 Vanderbilt on Saturday. Pribula, a senior from York, Pennsylvania, faked a pitch to tailback Kevin Coleman Jr. and kept the ball. Vanderbilt edge rusher Miles Capers and others stopped Pribula short of the end zone, and Pribula's left leg was bent awkwardly as he went to the ground.

A Southern California mother rented a car this month and drove her 9-year-old daughter halfway across the country, to Nebraska. Three days later she returned home alone, and has since refused to answer questions about the girl's whereabouts. Now, Ashlee Buzzard's road trip has become the central focus of the FBI's and Santa Barbara County Sheriff Office's search for her missing daughter, Melodee. Authorities believe Buzzard left the Lompoc area with her daughter on Oct. 7, drove to Nebraska, and then returned to her Vandenberg Village home on Oct. 10, passing through Kansas along the way.

According to the U.S. Department of State, damage includes "stains from a liquid, a significant tear, unofficial markings on the data page, missing visa pages (torn out), or a hole punch." In practice, what counts as "damage" isn't always clear-cut, and different countries may have different standards. A mark that one border agent ignores might lead another to reject your document entirely. That uncertainty makes souvenir stamps risky since you never know how they'll be interpreted next.

Wilkins said the shootings stemmed from two groups attending the event that attracted more than 300 people, with ages in attendance ranging from pre-teens to about 50. There's a lot of interviews taking place, but apparently there was a confrontation between a couple of groups of people and then gunfire between those two started, Wilkins told WBTW-TV. The sheriff's office later Saturday identified the other fatal shooting victim as 49-year-old Jessie Locklear Jr. of Lumberton.

Since the pandemic, incidents with unruly passengers on airlines have escalated. There were almost 6,000 reports in 2021, nearly five-times as many as a year earlier, according to data from the Federal Aviation Administration. Over the next three years, the number of incidents remained roughly twice the amount reported pre-pandemic. Up to September 28, there have been 1,205 reports this year. That's already more than in 2020, although it's an encouraging sign that the numbers are falling.
