http://youtu.be/9irgm5Kmz6s The death toll from the collision in the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh has risen to 14, with at least 50 injured, a railway official said on Monday (October 30). The accident occurred when the Visakhapatnam-Rayagada passenger train stopped on Sunday because of a break in an overhead cable and the Visakhapatnam-Palasa Express service rammed into it from the rear, derailing two carriages of the stationary train. The railway ministry said a preliminary investigation found that "human error" led to "overshooting of signal" by the Visakhapatnam-Rayagada train. The accident came months after India's state-run railway system suffered its worst crash in two decades when 292 people were killed. Indian Railways, the fourth largest rain network in the world, is ...

http://youtu.be/PW7Ba6AbaX0 An Ohio social worker who was accused of sexually abusing a 13-year-old boy in her care showed up with a gun at the child’s home — where she blamed the family for “ruining her life” and allegedly threatened to kill the teen’s mom and herself. Payton Shires, 24, of Mount Sterling, was charged with unlawful sexual conduct with a minor on Oct. 6 after she allegedly admitted to the disturbing behavior during a call with the boy’s mom and Columbus detectives. But Shires landed in more trouble about 5:30 p.m. Thursday when she showed up at the teen’s home with a gun, WBNS reported. His mother was away but noticed the young woman on the porch via her doorbell camera, according to the station. Responding officers found Shires sitting with a gun pointed at her head a...

http://youtu.be/48_761bJbbQ A man was hauled out of campaign event in Houston after he bombarded Hillary Clinton with questions about her husband Bill Clinton’s trips to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s private island. The ruckus went down Friday while Clinton was in Texas campaigning on behalf of Democrat Mayoral candidate Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee. “Hey, Hillary. Why did your husband visit Epstein Island 26 times?” said the man, later identified as Alex Rosen. His questions were promptly drowned out by a chorus of boos and chanting from the crowd. Rosen, 23, was later surrounded by security and physically dragged from the venue.

http://youtu.be/crtEoRT_jk0 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in no uncertain terms Monday said Israel will not oblige calls for a cease-fire as it takes on Hamas. "I want to make clear Israel's position regarding the cease-fire," he said, going on to draw parallels to the United States' response to the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the 9/11 World Trade Center terrorist attack. The PM said that just like the US after those assaults, "Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities with Hamas after the horrific attacks of October 7. “Calls for a cease-fire or calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terrorists, surrender to barbarism, that will not happen,” Netanyahu said during a briefing for foreign media at the defense ministry in Tel Aviv on Monday evening local tim...

http://youtu.be/Dy6FaITwcZI Authorities are looking for the person whose donation to a Wisconsin Goodwill last week included ammunition and a live explosive device, kicking off a bomb scare and evacuations of the area. Employees of the thrift store in the city of Janesville outside Madison made the startling discovery Friday morning while inventorying donated items, prompting the evacuation of an entire city block for more than two and a half hours while authorities investigated, police said. The Dane County Bomb Squad was dispatched to the scene and collected the explosive device, identified by police as a “cluster bomblet,” to be safely destroyed, authorities said. “Employees quickly followed safety protocols by informing store and donation center management and safety teams who then...

http://youtu.be/INvLPtzJEco The US military has announced it will try to develop a new nuclear bomb more than 20 times more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, in August 1945 that led to the end of World War II. A Defense Department fact sheet says the new weapon, dubbed the B61-13, would have a blast yield similar to the B61-7 bomb’s 360 kilotons of TNT. By comparison, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima had a blast yield of 15 kilotons of TNT — making the new bomb 24 times more powerful. The creation of the B61-13 must first be approved and funded by Congress. If that happens, manufacture of the new weapon would be the job of the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration.

http://youtu.be/eKPbnHcN1aI Gov. Kathy Hochul talked tough about antisemitic threats at Cornell University Monday, but failed to call out a professor at the school who went viral for calling Hamas’ attack “exhilarating.” In a speech at the school, Hochul called for criminal charges against those who made online threats to slit the throats of Jewish students, as she danced around the issue of Russell Rickford, who called Hamas’ sick killings “energizing.” “Ensuring that we have the right of free speech, we’ll always protect that,” Hochul said following a roundtable with Cornell president Martha Pollack. “But when speech crosses over into hate speech and into hate crimes, that’s when we have to make sure that students know that we’ll step up and protect them.” Hochul’s remarks included c...

http://youtu.be/awPYIjTfsaY The Hamas terror group is blocking hundreds of Americans who are stuck inside the Gaza Strip from leaving the territory, a senior State Department official said Monday. The situation is a grim twist on the pro-Palestinian talking point that Israel runs Gaza as an “open-air prison” — despite not controlling the area since 2005. With Israel readying its forces to ramp up its ground invasion following Hamas’ slaughter of more than 1,400 people — including at least 33 Americans — on Oct. 7, US officials are working overtime to secure the release of Americans who wish to leave before hostilities intensify. “There has been an intensive State Department-led effort to work with all relevant stakeholders, which include Israel, Egypt, the United Nations and Hamas, who...

http://youtu.be/fdf2so8Hno8 A Long Island man allegedly pointed a gun at the head of a 6-year-old boy who mistakenly left a Halloween goody bag with candy on his front porch. The frightening incident occurred about 7:30 p.m. Saturday in Manhasset, where a 42-year-old woman drove her daughter, two sons and a nephew to drop off the bag at 138 Rockcrest Road, Nassau County police said. The 6-year-old boy and his 10-year-old sister rang the doorbell of the home she believed to be her friend’s and left the candy on the porch before leaving, according to cops.

http://youtu.be/5867kTioNjU A pro-Palestinian activist posted a shocking video of himself releasing hordes of spray-painted mice into a McDonald’s in the UK, as he shouted “F—k Israel” in front of panicked customers. The clip captioned “Enjoy your rat burgers” begins with the man, who is wearing a Palestinian flag on his head, opening the trunk of his car, which displays license plates reading “PAIISTN – Free Palestine.” He removes a box filled with mice painted red, green, and white — which he then dumps onto the floor of the McDonald’s in Birmingham, according to LBC. The rodents scurry throughout the eatery amid screams by the shocked customers.

http://youtu.be/6X64AWbRaUE Israel said Tuesday its forces attacked Hamas gunmen inside the Islamists’ vast tunnel network beneath Gaza, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed calls for a halt to fighting to ease the Palestinian enclave’s humanitarian crisis. The tunnels are a key objective for Israel as it expands ground operations inside Gaza to wipe out the ruling Hamas movement following its rampage three weeks ago that Israeli authorities say killed over 1,400 people. “Over the last day, combined IDF combat forces struck approximately 300 targets, including anti-tank missile and rocket launch posts below shafts, as well as military compounds inside underground tunnels belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement. Ha...

http://youtu.be/3UGBKv3UqUY Israeli forces, backed by armoured vehicles, were seen operating in southern Israel on Tuesday (October 31) four days after they began a major ground offensive in the Palestinian enclave that has drawn more international calls for civilians to be protected. Israel said its forces fought Hamas gunmen inside the militants' vast tunnel network beneath the besieged Palestinian enclave of Gaza, seeking to free hostages and to push forward its campaign to wipe out the militant group. As the battle inside Gaza intensified, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed calls for a halt to the fighting. Militants responded with anti-tank missiles and machine gun fire, it said. A number of militants were killed, it said, without specifying a number. On Monday, ...

http://youtu.be/cWpSU4Ir30U US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s Senate Appropriations Committee testimony was repeatedly disrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters calling for an immediate cease-fire, CNN reports. As Blinken was midway through remarks on the Russia-Ukraine war, protesters drowned out the secretary of state’s remarks with chants of “From Palestine to Mexico, all the walls have got to go.” “You have blood on your hands, murderer,” a demonstrator could be heard shouting. An elderly woman carrying a sign that said "No more $ for war" was seen being escorted out of the hearing by Capitol Police. Protesters with their hands painted red were seen in the back of the Senate gallery. Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/10/30/news/israel-hamas-war-live-updates-latest-news-as-i...

http://youtu.be/ZUjUYaCxrds Chilling video shows the moment a crazed neighbor executed a father and his stepson in cold blood in a Brooklyn apartment hallway during an argument over noise Sunday night. The distressing footage obtained by The Post opens with a man dressed in all black pacing angrily outside his upstairs neighbors’ apartment on the fourth floor of 1418 Brooklyn Ave. in a well-known East Flatbush housing complex where stars Barbra Streisand and Michael K. Williams grew up. A woman emerges from the apartment and exchanges words with the neighbor. A short time later, she is joined by her son, identified by cops as 27-year-old Chinwai Mode. The video has no audio, so it is unknown what was said during the exchange. Moments later, Mode’s stepfather, 47-year-old school bus dri...

http://youtu.be/mNEYfiWbFMI Brooklyn parents say that several parks and playgrounds in Clinton Hill, Bed-Stuy and other nearby neighborhoods are overrun with used drug paraphernalia — including crack cocaine pipes and colorful “trash can” vials used to hold fentanyl or heroin. NY Post Senior Features writer Joshua Rhett Miller shares this story. “We’re finding them all over — Crispus Attucks Playground, Hattie Carthan Playground, Herbert Von King Park, Jesse Owens Playground, Brower Park,” one exasperated mother told The Post Wednesday. A group of parents recently cleaned up more than 100 pieces of drug paraphernalia over a seven-day span at Crispus Attucks in Clinton Hill, the 40-year-old Crown Heights homeowner said. “My daughter was gifted a fentanyl container [from a playground] f...

http://youtu.be/3f3hsoPqaQo Piers Morgan chats with presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy in Las Vegas about the Israel-Hamas war and what he would do about the conflict in the Middle East if he was president, including whether or not he would send US military to Gaza to rescue hostages. The pair also discuss how as president Vivek would act in the Ukraine-Russia conflict and whether he would give Vladimir Putin a deal, plus Piers asks if his opinion of Donald Trump has changed at all. #piersmorgan #vivekramaswamy #elections #politics #israel #hamas #ukraine #russia The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.

http://youtu.be/zd9g1C8YNzQ A British courier who was filmed huffing down a nitrous oxide balloon before driving his van into a ravine and killing his teenage cousin was sentenced to nearly eight years in prison Monday. Cameron Hughes, 23, was under the influence of laughing gas and using his phone when he “failed to negotiate” a bend on a highway north of Manchester in July, plunging his Mercedes Sprinter van into a ravine 15 feet below, Lancashire Constables said in a press release. Hughes’ passenger and cousin Bonny Barrow, 15, suffered serious injures and died a day later, police said. He was relatively unharmed.

http://youtu.be/iuzGDQEex5o A Nevada man who says he was molested by his baby-sitter from the age of 8 slugged the 80-year-old convicted pedophile in the courtroom after learning he would be spared prison time. Tylor Fu, now 29, was arrested on a misdemeanor battery charge after nailing Richard Gross in the face during his sentencing on Oct. 2, authorities said. In an interview with 8NewsNow last week, Fu admitted he felt “extremely angry” when Gross’ plea deal was announced.

http://youtu.be/AYZtB3K2S_g One of the final social media posts of a woman, killed in an alleged domestic violence incident at one of Australia’s most luxurious hotels, showed she was “loving life” before her untimely end. The body of 34-year-old family law barrister Alice Rose McShera was found at Crown Towers Perth, in Burswood, on Monday morning. On her Facebook page on Sunday, McShera had posted about staying at the hotel, telling followers she was “spending the night before my next surgery … drinking Dom (Perignon champagne), watching old DVDs, and loving life.” She thanked her best friend for the hotel stay, a fellow lawyer she referred to as “Lawyer of the Year.” Cameron John Pearson, 42, fronted Perth Magistrates Court on Tuesday morning, charged with McShera’s murder.

http://youtu.be/MdzvAVfwEsk A long-shot bid to disqualify former President Donald Trump from appearing on Colorado's 2024 ballots began in a Denver courtroom on Monday. The case will test a rarely-used, Civil War-era provision of the U.S. Constitution that bars people who have engaged in "insurrection or rebellion" from holding federal office. Plaintiffs’ attorney Scott Olson argued Trump assembled a violent mob at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 that tried to prevent the constitutional transfer of power. "And we are here because Trump claims, after all that he has the right to be president again. But our Constitution and our shared charter of our nation says he cannot do so. And Colorado law says this court must ensure that only eligible candidates appear on our ballots." Trump face...

http://youtu.be/B2PRZSp70l0 Scheduled for 10:30 am ET. Police hold a press conference to update the public on the situation in Maine after a mass shooter went on a horrifying rampage, murdering at least 22 people at a bar and a bowling alley and sparking a massive manhunt.

http://youtu.be/XDdmRFkf_l8 Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives chose Tom Emmer as their nominee for speaker on Tuesday (October 24) but ran into the same internal divisions that have paralyzed the leaderless chamber for three weeks. "We are again, back to where we started," Representative Troy Nehls told reporters during a break from a closed-door conference meeting. Emmer, who serves as the No. 3 Republican in the House, secured the nomination after five rounds of voting but appeared to be at least 20 votes short of the 217 he would need to win the speaker's gavel, lawmakers said. The party's fourth pick for the job now finds himself in the same precarious spot that doomed the previous three candidates: seeking to win over a small group of holdouts from his own party that...

http://youtu.be/QfUnmKApzGg Another emergency migrant shelter was shuttered Monday amid fire safety concerns — the latest in a string of Big Apple sites deemed potential fire traps. NY Post Reporter Kevin Sheehan shares this story. Dozens of asylum seekers, many of them loaded down with luggage, were kicked out of the former Touro University campus near Penn Station in Manhattan as city fire officials slapped a vacate order on the window and told the migrants they had to clear out. FDNY officials said 110 people in migrant families were loaded onto city vans and shipped out — leaving about 40 single men stranded on the sidewalk with MetroCards and maps to other shelters in the five boroughs.

http://youtu.be/zFdCBVEVszQ Donald Trump "arbitrarily" inflated the value of his real estate assets in order to secure favorable insurance premiums, Trump's former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen testified at the former president's civil fraud trial on Tuesday (October 24). Trump has denied wrongdoing and defended the valuations of his properties, saying the case is a "fraud" and a political witch hunt. He has occasionally appeared in court over the past month, complaining in inflammatory remarks to reporters that it is a distraction from his campaign. He arrived on Monday following a campaign stop in New Hampshire and just days after being fined $5,000 by Justice Arthur Engoron, the judge overseeing the case, for violating a gag order. In September before the trial began, Engoron foun...

http://youtu.be/dnKvVo_vb_g Detriot cops were “just short” of naming a suspect in the grisly murder of synagogue leader Samantha Woll on Monday while insisting that there was no evidence to suggest the heinous act was the result of a hate crime. NY Post reporter Reuven Fenton shares this story. “We are just short of calling one of the people a suspect,” Detroit Police Chief James White said at a press conference. “But we are working toward that, and we will be there. But again, it just takes time… there’s a lot of information to be analyzed.” The shocking crime has shaken the Jewish community and stunned family and friends who called Woll “the most beloved person in Detroit.” Detroit police said they found Woll’s body at about 6:30 a.m. Saturday when they responded to a 911 call abou...
