New York Rep. Ritchie Torres on Friday called Gov. Kathy Hochul the “new Joe Biden” — suggesting she shouldn’t run for re-election — in yet another not-so-subtle sign the Bronx Democrat is considering jumping into the race. Torres, in a post on X, pointed to Hochul’s dismal favorability rating, which at one point this year even dipped below that of President-elect Donald Trump in deep-blue New York. “Kathy Hochul is the new Joe Biden,” the congressman wrote . “She may be in denial about the depth of her vulnerabilities as a Democratic nominee. “A Democratic incumbent who is less popular in New York than Donald Trump is in grave danger of losing to a Republican in 2026–an outcome not seen in 30 years,” Torres continued. “Waiting until it’s too late gave us a Republican President in 2024 and could give us a Republican Governor in 2026,” he added. “Let’s avoid repeating history and avoid sleepwalking toward impending disaster and defeat.” Torres — a strong supporter of Israel since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack — has been making inroads in recent months, especially with business interests. During a Citizens Budget Commission event in Manhattan this week, he ripped New York’s “misgovernance” — leading political insiders to believe he could be eyeing the Executive Mansion. Sources have suggested in recent months that Hochul’s team is terrified of a primary challenge by Torres, who could court her supposed base of moderate Democrats. A spokesperson for Hochul — who is up for reelection in 2026 — touted New York Democrats’ gains in the US House of Representatives during the November election. “Governor Hochul is proud to have led New York Democrats in a successful election cycle, giving Congressman Torres four new Democratic colleagues in Congress,” the rep said in a statement Friday. “The governor remains focused on delivering results for New Yorkers, from driving down crime to lowering costs for working families.” State Democratic Committee Chairman Jay Jacobs, a close ally of Hochul, recently defended the governor during an interview on WCNY’s the Capitol Pressroom. “No, I don’t see that at all,” Jacobs said asked by host David Lombardo whether Democrats should look for a new standard-barer in 2026. While Jacobs said he would be “surprised” to see a serious primary challenge, but in the same breath said Democrats are vulnerable to Republicans who are gaining ground in the Empire State. “In this time, when I think we have to be more concerned with the potential of a Republican becoming governor, because you look at the state and some of the shifts, I think it’s time for Democrats to come together and rally around this governor and rally around a more moderate centrist approach to government,” Jacobs said.Lamar Jackson not on injury report; Roquan Smith did not practiceReinventing Payments: Breaking Down Banking Infrastructure to Build a Composable Future
Toronto Sceptres quick out of the gate in Season 2 with win in openerNew Caledonia's Union Calédonienne, one of the main and oldest components of the pro-independence movement, has at the weekend elected Emmanuel Tjibaou as its new president. The election was one of the main items of the agenda of UC's Congress, which was held in the small village of Mia (near Canala, East Coast of the main island of Grande Terre). Tjibaou, 48, was the only candidate for the position. Tjibaou's election on Sunday comes as UC's former leader, Daniel Goa, 71, announced last week he did not intend to seek another mandate, partly for health reasons, after leading the party for the past 12 years. Goa told his pro-independence supporters this was a "heavy burden" his successor will now have to carry. He also said there was a need to work on political awareness and training for the younger generations. He said the youths' heavy involvement in the recent riots, not necessarily within the UC's political framework, was partly caused by "all these years during which we did not train (UC) political commissioners" on the ground. "This has been completely neglected," he told local media at the weekend, saying this was his mea culpa. After the riots started, there was a perception that calls coming from all political parties, including UC, were no longer heeded and that, somehow, the whole insurrection had gotten out of control. "Now we need to open (UC) to the youth. Now we got the message they have sent us", he said. Tjibaou was also elected earlier this year as one of New Caledonia's two representatives within the French National Assembly (Lower House). A divided pro-independence movement Tjibaou's rise to the helm of UC comes as New Caledonia's whole pro-independence movement is deeply divided. Last week, two of the main components of the 40-year-old FLNKS (Kanak and Socialist National Liberation Front), the more moderate UPM (Progressist Union in Melanesia) and PALIKA (Kanak Liberation Party), reiterated they wished to distance themselves from the Front. They said they did not recognise themselves anymore in the way the UC has been operating since last year and more recently since insurrectional riots broke out in May 2024, causing extensive damage and 13 dead. UPM and PALIKA did not take part in the most recent FLNKS Congress, late August 2024, which, among other resolutions, appointed Christian Téin as its new President. Téin is the leader of a UC-created CCAT (Field Action Coordinating Cell) which, since October 2023, has been tasked to organise protests, marches and demonstrations. Initially organised peacefully, they later degenerated into the riots and destruction that broke out in May 2024. Téin is currently jailed in Mulhouse (North-east of France) following his arrest in June and pending his trial. Emmanuel Tjibaou is perceived as a man of dialogue and moderation and his election at the head of UC could also signal a gradual softening of the party's hard-line stance, which could contribute to a more united approach from New Caledonia's whole pro-independence movement. Crucial deadlines The development comes as New Caledonia, post-riot, faces a whole array of challenges. These include the French territory's reconstruction and the necessary multi-billion Euro assistance from France, but also crucial political talks that are likely to start in December between all political parties and the French government in order to map out the political future. The talks (between pro-independence, anti-independence parties and the French State) are scheduled in such a way that all parties manage to reach a comprehensive and inclusive political agreement no later than March 2025. Attempts to formulate New Caledonia's wish list Over the past few days, earlier this month, from Paris to Nouméa, several references have been made with regards to what shape New Caledonia's future status could take. Such wordings as "shared sovereignty", "independence in partnership", "independence-association" and, more recently, from the also divided pro-France camp, an "internal federalism" (Le Rassemblement-LR party) or a "territorial federation" (Les Loyalistes). After this, heavy campaigning will follow to prepare for crucial provincial elections to be held no later than November 2024. Tjibaou is the son of charismatic pro-independence leader Jean-Marie Tjibaou, who signed the Matignon-Oudinot agreements with pro-France leader Jacques Lafleur and the French government in 1988, to end half a decade of a quasi civil war. One year later, in 1989, he was shot dead by a hard-line pro-independence militant.New Delhi: Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Saturday said the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991 is in the news these days because of certain oral observations made in 2022 by then Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud that have since opened a “pandora’s box”. The Congress general secretary in-charge communications recalled a speech delivered in 1991 by distinguished author Rajmohan Gandhi, who was then a Janata Dal MP representing Uttar Pradesh, during a debate in the Rajya Sabha on the Bill that subsequently became the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act. “On September 12, 1991, the Rajya Sabha debated the Bill that subsequently became the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991. This is in the news very much these days because of oral observations made by the just-retired Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud on May 20, 2022 that has since opened a Pandora’s Box,” Ramesh said in a post on X. During that parliamentary debate, perhaps one of the greatest speeches in the Rajya Sabha’s history was made by Gandhi, he said. “It was a masterclass in Indian culture, traditions, history, and politics as well. His brilliant speech, with that lovely excerpt from the Mahabharata, has continuing relevance,” Ramesh said. On Sept 12, 1991, the Rajya Sabha debated the Bill that subsequently became the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991. This is in the news very much these days because of oral observations made by the just-retired Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud on May 20, 2022... pic.twitter.com/gDOaAXBQrJ The Congress leader also posted screenshots of Gandhi’s speech, in which he said “those who have opposed this Bill have spoken about what they call necessary to right the wrongs of history”. “Not long ago, we all saw the Mahabharata serial. One great point in the Mahabharata serial is the end of the Kurukshetra war. One of our distinguished members, Mr R K Narayan, in his book on the ‘Mahabharata’ has said that at the end of the Kurukshetra war, the stage is a blank,” Gandhi had said in the Rajya Sabha. “The ringing lesson of the Mahabharata down the centuries is ‘those who seek to right the wrongs of history with an attitude of revenge will only produce destruction and more destruction and more destruction’,” Gandhi had said. Amid a row over claims on a mosque in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal and Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti’s shrine in Rajasthan’s Ajmer, the Congress on Friday reiterated its “firmest commitment” to the letter and spirit of the Places of Worship Act, which it said is being “violated brazenly” by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The opposition party made the assertion in a resolution passed by the Congress Working Committee during its over-four-hour-long meeting at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters here. “After reiterating its firmest commitment to the letter and spirit of the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991, which is being violated brazenly by the BJP, the CWC discussed the challenges faced by the Indian National Congress following the results of the four Vidhan Sabha elections,” the resolution read. The party’s commitment to the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act assumes significance as it comes days after a violent protest against a court-ordered survey of a Mughal-era mosque in Sambhal claimed four lives. Also, a court in Ajmer, known the world over as the home of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti’s dargah visited by thousands of devotees cutting across religious divides every day, has issued notices to the dargah committee, the Ministry of Minority Affairs and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) on a plea seeking to declare the shrine a temple. The Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act prohibits changing the character of religious places from how they existed on August 15, 1947. However, the Supreme Court had noted that it had earlier dealt with the Act in its 2019 Ayodhya verdict and one of the law’s provisions — section 3 — did not expressly bar ascertaining the religious character of a place of worship. On May 20, 2022, the top court made oral observations while hearing a dispute involving the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi and said ascertaining the religious character of a place of worship was not barred under the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act.

Hezbollah fires about 250 rockets and other projectiles into Israel, wounding at least 7 BEIRUT (AP) — Hezbollah has fired about 250 rockets and other projectiles into Israel, wounding seven people in one of the militant group’s heaviest barrages in months. Sunday's attacks in northern and central Israel came in response to deadly Israeli strikes in central Beirut on Saturday. Israel struck southern Beirut on Sunday. Meanwhile, negotiators press on with cease-fire efforts to halt the all-out war. And 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. 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. Somalia says 24 people have died after 2 boats capsized in the Indian Ocean MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Somalia's government says 24 people died after two boats capsized off the Madagascar coast in the Indian Ocean. Somalia’s Foreign Minister Ahmed Moalim Fiqi said 46 people were rescued. Most of the passengers were young Somalis, and their intended destination remains unclear. Many young Somalis embark every year on dangerous journeys in search of better opportunities abroad. A delegation led by the Somali ambassador to Ethiopia is scheduled to travel to Madagascar on Monday to investigate the incident and coordinate efforts to help survivors. 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 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 Sunday after a “bomb cyclone” storm system hit the West Coast last week, killing two people. 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. Pakistani police arrest thousands of Imran Khan supporters ahead of rally in the capital ISLAMABAD (AP) — A Pakistani security officer says police have arrested thousands of Imran Khan supporters ahead of a rally in Islamabad to demand the ex-premier’s release from prison. Khan has been behind bars for more than a year. But he remains popular and his party says the cases against him are politically motivated. Police Sunday arrested more than 4,000 Khan supporters in eastern Punjab province, a Khan stronghold. They include five parliamentarians. Pakistan has sealed off the capital with shipping containers. It also suspended mobile and internet services “in areas with security concerns.” 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.
