http://youtu.be/JqB41OR8OXc London’s famous Notting Hill Carnival reached its highest level of stabbings in seven years as men with knives, 275 arrests, and several hospitalizations marred the two-day spectacle. The event, which took place from Aug. 27 to 28, attracts hundreds of thousands of attendees on the streets of England’s capital, and features live music, performances, and entertainment. Over 2 million attended this year’s annual festival, which has earned its stripes as Europe’s largest street party and one of the world’s biggest celebrations of Caribbean music and culture. But despite its joyous nature, violent riots and vicious attacks plagued festivities, leaving eight people stabbed as a 29-year-old man remains in critical condition. Videos circulating on social media sho...

http://youtu.be/ng38gpEiinQ A Florida journalist was caught in a blackout during a live broadcast report on Idalia’s impacts Wednesday — putting the dangerous storm’s strong winds on full display for viewers. Forrest Saunders, the Florida State Capitol Reporter for E.W. Scripps, was standing outside delivering an update on the storm from Chiefland, a city about 25 miles from the ocean, when the street lights surrounding him suddenly started to flicker before turning off completely. “We just lost power! You just saw the power go out,” Saunders can be heard saying in a video of the broadcast shared to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

http://youtu.be/aHyTI1Mjo-A Debris rained from the Kyiv night sky as Russia launched air attacks on early Wednesday (August 30), killing at least two people in the Ukrainian capital, Mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote on the Telegram messaging app. Orange balls of fire dropped from the sky as targets destroyed by Ukrainian air defenses fell on several buildings in Kyiv, exploding into large clouds of fire and smoke. The bodies of two people were found in a nonresidential building and one person was wounded by glass shards, Klitschko said, adding that debris fell in four places in the capital. Meanwhile, firefighters were at the scene outside a large supermarket, which a Reuters eyewitness said was one of the buildings hit by debris. Kyiv authorities said several buildings were damaged by deb...

http://youtu.be/dqeuJf8o1vk The family of ex-swim champ Jamie Cail, who died of an alleged fentanyl overdose in the US Virgin Islands, claims she had been beaten — and that her death was not an accident. Local police have said the 42-year-old woman, who hailed from New Hampshire, allegedly died of “fentanyl intoxication with aspiration of gastric content,” meaning particles from her stomach entered her lungs. But Cail’s family disputes the finding that her death was “accidental.” “We know that Jamie did not ingest fentanyl intentionally. There is definitely foul play,” Jessica DeVries, who identified herself as a cousin and a family rep, told Insider. The family shared graphic post-mortem photos of Cail’s body with the news outlet that show her left eye apparently heavily bruised and ...

http://youtu.be/W_Y3QBZMkk0 Radical climate protesters in Munich, Germany, who were blocking a street in a staged protest, were then dragged forward by a vehicle after they refused to move from incoming traffic, according to a video the environmental group posted on X. A video posted on Monday showed a car refusing to pause amid the protesters blocking the road. As the protesters approached to block the car, it slowly lurched forward. The climate protesters were dragged hundreds of feet into the roadway by the car. “We are all part of the last generation who still has the chance to stop the complete ecological collapse of Earth, regardless of whether we want it or not,” the Letzte Generation said. “We come together and offer resolute non-violent resistance to the fossil-fuel madness...

http://youtu.be/Tb4Sy8PsfeA The mother of a Colorado middle schooler who was reportedly kicked out of class for displaying several patches on his backpack, including one of a Gadsden flag, claims that his First Amendment rights were violated. The 12-year-old Vanguard School student, Jaiden Rodriguez, was ordered to remove the flag — which features a coiled rattlesnake and the phrase “Don’t tread on me” – before he was allowed back inside. “I do want him to stand up for his rights, too, and I don’t want to say, ‘No, you bow down to the government,'”Jaiden’s mom Eden Rodriguez told News5. “It’s been a tough call to just let him do what he wants and say he’s at that age to make his own decisions.” By making him miss three days of school over his patches, the charter school violated the s...

http://youtu.be/lp3_KYjdXoc Hurricane Idalia made landfall early Wednesday in Florida as a deadly Category 3 hurricane, promising to unleash “life-threatening” storm surges and damaging winds in the strongest storm to hit the area in more than 125 years. Idalia had briefly been categorized as a Category 4 storm before winds tapered off to 125 mph as it made landfall at 7:45 a.m. near Keaton Beach in Taylor County. “This change in wind speed does not diminish the threat of catastrophic storm surge and damaging winds,” the National Hurrican Center had cautioned, with two Florida men soon confirmed as having been killed in storm-related incidents. It was the strongest hurricane to hit the Big Bend area since an unnamed storm in 1896, according to the Fox Forecast Center, with several citi...

http://youtu.be/CKul1X6NJQ8 Oberlin College women’s lacrosse head coach Kim Russell broke her silence about transgender inclusion in women’s sports in a documentary for the Independent Women’s Forum on Tuesday. Russell, who became the head coach of the Yeowomen before the start of the 2019 season, talked about how administrators and her players ridiculed her after she posted on her personal social media account a message about Lia Thomas winning an NCAA Championship in the 500 in 2022. In the video, Russell reposted a headline sarcastically congratulating then-Virginia swim star Emma Weyant for the victory over Thomas, a transgender female. Russell wrote in the post, “What do you believe? I can’t be quiet on this… I’ve spent my life playing sports, starting & coaching sports progra...

http://youtu.be/tlm1WxiV-ME Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell froze up in front of reporters for the second time in as many months Wednesday, this time during an event in his home state of Kentucky. McConnell, 81, was in the middle of a back-and-forth about the prospect of running for another six-year term in 2026 when he became stone-faced in a manner eerily reminiscent of his July 27 episode on Capitol Hill. “What are my thoughts about what?” McConnell asked. “Running for re-election in 2026,” a reporter answered. “Oh,” McConnell exclaimed before his eyes darted upward and he stared blankly into space. “Did you hear the question, Senator? Running for re-election in 2026?” a woman standing next to McConnell said. After about 30 seconds, McConnell appeared to snap back to reali...

Former President Donald Trump has signaled that he would be open to tapping biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy as his running mate.

http://youtu.be/j8wBFjuPm4A Grieving parents found the body of their 14-year-old adopted son hugging his dead dog after the Maui wildfires — then carried him around half a mile to a police station to be confirmed among the dead. Schoolboy Keyiro Fuentes had been home alone enjoying his last day of summer break when the deadliest US wildfires in a century started overwhelming his neighborhood in Lahaina, his mother, Luz Vargas, told CBS News. The mom was working five miles away at the time — and unable to get home when she saw the smoke, despite begging cops to let her through their barriers. When she and the rest of her family managed to search their home two days later, they found Keyiro’s charred body wrapped around his dead dog, the sobbing mom told CBS. “He was not as I expected, ...

http://youtu.be/YOeYgCpMM7Y Gov. Kathy Hochul finally sent a formal request to President Biden — demanding the White House take executive action to help New York tackle the broader-migrant crisis that is a federal responsibility. “This is a financial burden the City and State are shouldering on behalf of the federal government,” she said in a letter sent to the president. The letter, which was announced at a press conference Thursday afternoon in Albany, calls on the feds to expedite work authorizations and provide New York with significant financial assistance. “Without any capacity or responsibility to address the cause of the migrant influx, New Yorkers cannot then shoulder these costs,” wrote Hochul to Biden. “I cannot ask New Yorkers to pay for what is fundamentally a federal re...

http://youtu.be/3ZWays2cVvU Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Russian dissident Vladimir Putin labeled a “traitor,” is believed to have been killed when a private jet crashed outside Moscow Wednesday evening – less than two months after he led a mutiny against the Kremlin’s military top brass. Prigozhin, the leader of the controversial Wagner paramilitary group, was on the passenger list of the Embraer aircraft that crashed near the village of Kuzhenkino, 60 miles north of Moscow, the TASS news agency said Wednesday, citing the Federal Agency for Air Transport. “An investigation of the Embraer plane crash that happened in the Tver Region this evening was initiated. According to the passenger list, first and last name of Yevgeny Prigozhin was included in this list,” the agency stated. Although it...

http://youtu.be/laBuyU67GIU The husband of a Brooklyn woman bludgeoned to death by a hammer-wielding attacker apologized to his slain wife and pleaded for their two injured kids to pull through — as sources on Thursday revealed there had been simmering tensions between the mom and her accused killer leading up to the horrific crime. Zhao Zhao, 43, was killed and her two children — a 5-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter — were left fighting for their lives after they were attacked inside their Sunset Park apartment Wednesday afternoon, cops said. “My dear wife, I owe you an apology,” Zhao’s widower wrote in a post on the Chinese social media platform WeChat.

http://youtu.be/KNN6nlzvRTw Eight Republican presidential candidates traded barbs on Wednesday (August 23) at their first debate of the 2024 election as they jockeyed for position behind the absent front-runner, Donald Trump, who derided the event in a pre-taped interview aimed at siphoning away viewers. The raucous two-hour debate offered a view of the deep challenges the contenders face in seeking to dislodge Trump from his perch at the top of the field. While the former president took the extraordinary step of skipping the debate entirely, his rivals were left taking shots at one another to try to emerge as the most viable alternative, five months before the first Republican presidential nominating contest in Iowa and more than 14 months before the election. " I know how to fight. A...

http://youtu.be/Dk4hPWECHgk Former President Donald Trump made the wrong kind of history Thursday, becoming the first current or former US president to get his mug shot taken while being booked at an Atlanta jail over his attempts to reverse the 2020 election results in Georgia. Trump, 77, turned himself in to authorities at the Fulton County Jail following his grand jury indictment on Aug. 14 on charges including racketeering, conspiracy, false statements and asking a public official to violate their oath of office. He was released on a $200,000 bond and agreed to an order limiting his ability to post on social media about witnesses or co-defendants in the case. Getting his mugshot taken was “not a comfortable feeling — especially when you’ve done nothing wrong,” the former commander ...

http://youtu.be/VoaP8D4LwWU A British man attacked a traffic warden with a wooden pole after he caught the city worker taking pictures of his van in East London. A disgruntled driver, 41, who was not identified, was arrested after attacking a traffic warden, 38, in Manor Park on Friday. Video shot by a driver on the street showed the duo shouting angrily in the middle of the road before the man grabs a long wooden pole and shoves the warden. When the warden moves to return the assault, the driver, wearing a yellow vest, swings and hits the man several times until the pole breaks in half. The two get into a tussle as the warden takes several shots at the van driver. The pair fought for several minutes, throwing punches and kicks.

http://youtu.be/3Q18qLJYBn0 A Florida chemistry student was caught on a neighbor’s hidden camera allegedly injecting an opioid “chemical agent” underneath their front door, causing the family and their newborn baby to fall ill, according to police. Umar Abdullah and his pregnant wife moved into their new condo in Tampa in June 2022 and were warmly welcomed by other residents in the building. Shortly after, however, Abdullah began receiving texts from his disgruntled downstairs neighbor, Xuming Li, a seemingly “regular guy” who complained about losing sleep and hearing the toilet seat move, he told WFLA. After months of quarreling, Abdullah said, he, his wife and their daughter started feeling dizzy and vomiting. “I look at my daughter,” Abdullah told the outlet. “Her eyes were full of...

http://youtu.be/SMIXVe2aKX0 Pentagon spokesman Brigadier General Patrick Ryder on Thursday (August 24) said there was currently no information to suggest that a surface-to-air missile took down the plane presumed to be carrying Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin. Ryder offered no further details or evidence as he made his remarks at a Pentagon news conference. Reuters had reported earlier on Thursday that the United States was looking at a number of theories over what caused Prigozhin's plane to crash, and cited two U.S. officials saying a surface-to-air missile likely hit it. #yevgenyprigozhin #wagnergroup #pentagon #patrickryder #russia The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fa...

http://youtu.be/wFZXhs-utQQ An Oklahoma mother shared that her “literal worst nightmare happened” when her 5-year-old son’s school bus driver dropped him off at the wrong stop in 105-degree heat. Kelly Mullholland, the mother of the 5-year-old, posted doorbell footage on TikTok that showed her son walking up to a random house, ringing the doorbell and pleading for help. “Will you help me find my mommy?” the boy, who is in kindergarten, asked on the Ring footage. It was the boy’s first time on a school bus, his mother said. The clip, which has over 4 million views, proceeds with Mullholland detailing the exact moment she realizes her son, as well as another 5-year-old with him, were dropped off at the wrong stop.

http://youtu.be/ZmAPdI6YH60 Hikers captured a bone-chilling photo of a mysterious naked “wolf man,” who officials believe has lived in the wild for at least 5 years, as they traveled through Germany’s Harz Mountains on Tuesday. Gina Weiss and her friend Tobi encountered the unkempt figure who sat on a rock and seemingly carried a spear in the heart of the wildness, telling German newspaper Bild that the figure “wouldn’t take his eyes (off) us.” Weiss, 31, said the chance encounter with the unknown mountain man lasted about 10 minutes as she explored the woods near Blankenburg, about 150 miles outside of Berlin. “When we reached the sand caves we saw the wolf man,” Weiss told the outlet. “He stood up high on one of the caves and held a long wooden stick like a lance in his arm.” Read m...

http://youtu.be/vVMQrHEenwY A Georgia college’s white baseball manager is under fire after allegedly telling a black player he couldn’t play on the team because his hair was too long and didn’t conform to the rules set by the coach. Valdosta State University’s head baseball coach Greg Guilliams was secretly recorded by former player Asher Akridge during a meeting in the coach’s office, where Akridge questioned Guilliams’ reasoning for kicking him off the team based on his hair length. In a video posted to TikTok by Akridge with the caption “Valdosta State University 2023 or 1945,” a player tells the coach he was always respectful and always complied with the strict hair policy. “If you complied with what I said, you’d got your hair cut and I wouldn’t had to keep telling you about it,” ...

Video footage shot by a traveler waiting in the terminal shows a female member of the crew twirling and posing like a Disney princess before waving at a male attendant to join by walking through the open emergency exit.

http://youtu.be/A2hDIm1T84k Property watchers have done a double-take after former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate was listed as sold on Zillow as he fights four separate indictments. Hours after Trump was booked in Georgia on charges that he unlawfully tried to overturn the Peach State’s 2020 election results, real estate mavens noted that the Zillow listing for the sprawling Palm Beach resort indicated it had been “sold” on Aug. 4 for a whopping $422,000,000. Although the estate does not show up on Zillow under the name “Mar-a-Lago,” its address at 1100 South Ocean Boulevard matches that of Trump’s 58-bedroom, 33-bathroom beachfront property. The purported sell date also happened to be the day after the 77-year-old was arraigned in Washington, DC, on federal charges that h...

http://youtu.be/CDsu6BKT9P4 Yale University’s police union has sparked outrage by giving hundreds of incoming students ominous “survival guide” flyers branded with the Grim Reaper — warning them about “shockingly high” crime around the Ivy League campus. The bold flyers, which were doled out to first-year students this week as they moved into their New Haven, Connecticut dorms, are nearly identical to the controversial “Welcome to Fear City” notices distributed to tourists in a crime-ridden Big Apple in the 1970s. “Good luck,” the Yale flyer warned, alongside an image of a skulled Grim Reaper also used in the notorious New York pamphlets. “The incidence of crime and violence in New Haven is shockingly high, and it is getting worse,” the Yale police union handout warned. “During the se...

http://youtu.be/r2XFAiVKSz8 The Kremlin has slammed accusations that it killed Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin as an “absolute lie” — as top US military brass cautioned that confirming the mercenary leader’s death will take some time. Two days after a plane crash that is presumed to have killed the feared fighter, who led a mutiny against the Russian military, neither the Kremlin nor Wagner has officially confirmed the 62-year-old’s death. Prigozhin, along with six other passengers and three crew members, was listed in the manifest of the doomed Embraer Legacy 600 jet. There has been rampant speculation as to the cause of the crash, but preliminary US intelligence reports suggested that the Wagner leader’s private jet was downed by an explosion inside the aircraft. On Friday, Kremlin s...
