<p>In the United States, authorities have concluded that an unattended two-year-old starved after his father died at their upstate New York home this year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The incident happened on February 15 when 59-year-old David Conde Sr and his toddler son were found dead at their home in Geneva, New York. The kid was identified as David Conde Jr.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Ontario County Sheriff's Department said in a statement that the father died naturally from "cardiovascular disease", leaving the kid behind unattended.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The sheriff’s department also mentioned that the toddler's cause of death was starvation. It added that the manner was ruled to be accidental.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The statement concluded: "It is believed that Mr. Conde passed away first, and the child was not able to obtain any nourishment after his father passed."&nbsp;</p>

<p>As quoted by the US media outlets, the medical examiner's office said on Tuesday that it looked like the child was unable to seek help or find food after his father died.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The officials also said that deputies found the father and son died during a welfare check at the apartment. The welfare check happened when the family members said they had not heard from them in over a week.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Lt David Cirencione, who is with the Ontario County Sheriff's Office, said that the officers had to make a forced entry into the apartment, which was locked. They found both dead bodies in a bathroom,&nbsp;</p>

<p>Lt Cirencione said, "There were no signs of a struggle in the residence, and as I indicated, the door was locked on the inside. There's also a sliding door with a deck that had a security bar that was engaged."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We do not have any reason to believe anyone else was inside the apartment when these two passed away," the official added.&nbsp;</p>

The two men whose convictions for the assassination of Malcolm X were overturned last year are set to receive $36 million from the city and state of New York.

Malcolm X Assassination: Two acquitted to be awarded $36 MN, released in the mid-1980s

<p>New York will be paying a combined $36 million to two people who were exonerated in the assassination of Malcolm X. The announcement was made after two separate lawsuits were filed against the city and state for false accusations and mental harassment.</p>

Kevin Spacey Sexual Abuse Case: New York court dismisses $40 million lawsuit

<p>A New York court dismissed a $40 million sexual misconduct claim against Kevin Spacey on Thursday. The actor who made the claim claimed the Hollywood star targeted him when he was 14 years old.</p>

<p>A jury determined that Anthony Rapp had not proven that the two-time Oscar winner had "touched a sexual or intimate body part," which prompted Judge Lewis Kaplan to dismiss the civil case. Rapp was suing for compensation for&nbsp;"emotional anguish."</p>

<p>According to the US district court for the Southern District of New York, after roughly an hour of deliberation, "the jury held the defendant not responsible."</p>

<p>Hours after James Corden was banned from a New York eatery, the popular comedian reportedly called up restaurant owner Keith McNally to apologise for his behaviour.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Corden was banned from the popular New York eatery Balthazar after the owner alleged that the Late Night show host misbehaved with the staff of the restaurant.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
As Corden apologised, McNally took to Instagram to report that he had decided to forgive him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"James Corden just called me and apologized profusely," McNally wrote alongside a photo of Corden on Instagram. "Having f---ed up myself more than most people, I strongly believe in second chances."</p>

<p>He then joked that Corden is allowed back at his restaurant under one condition. "So if James Corden lets me host his Late Late Show for 9 months, I'll immediately rescind his ban from Balthazar."<br />
<br />

<p>Just hours before, McNally had alleged that Corden was '86'd' from his restaurant for repeatedly misbehaving with the restaurant staff on two separate occasions.</p>


Hours after James Corden was banned from a New York eatery, the popular comedian reportedly called up restaurant owner Keith McNally to apologise for his behaviour.

Hours after James Corden was banned from a New York eatery, the popular comedian reportedly called up restaurant owner Keith McNally to apologise for his behaviour. Corden was banned from the popular New York eatery Balthazar after the owner alleged that the Late Night show host misbehaved with the staff of the restaurant. As Corden apologised, McNally took to Instagram to report that he had decided to forgive him. "James Corden just called me and apologized profusely," McNally wrote alongside a photo of Corden on Instagram. "Having f---ed up myself more than most people, I strongly believe in second chances." He then joked that Corden is allowed back at his restaurant under one condition. "So if James Corden lets me host his Late Late Show for 9 months, I'll immediately rescind his ban from Balthazar." "No, of course not. But....anyone magnanimous enough to apologize to a deadbeat layabout like me (and my staff) doesn't deserve to be banned from anywhere. Especially Balthazar." "So Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Corden, Jimmy Corden. All is Forgiven. xx," the owner concluded.

James Corden apologizes to New York restaurant owner hours after being banned from the eatery

<p>During the election canvassing trail, most politicians appear to support a cause for the optics, only to later back out of it. However, an independent&nbsp;Manhattan candidate, running for&nbsp;New York's 12th District took a rather unconventional approach to show his support for a particular cause.</p>

<p>Reportedly,&nbsp;Mike Itkis, an independent candidate has a poll plank of 'sex positivity' where he is gunning to legalise sex work and protect sexual rights. While most politicians would have released a statement or done a couple of interviews, explaining their position, Mike didn't do any of it.</p>

<p>Instead, he starred and acted in a 13-minute long pornographic movie with an adult star to show his support towards the idea of 'sex positivity'.</p>

<p>"If I would just talk about it, it wouldn’t demonstrate my commitment to the issue. And the fact I actually did it was a huge learning experience, and it actually influenced items on my platform," Itkis told City &amp; State after the release of the video.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Calling himself an introvert who wanted to start a 'conversation' on the issue,&nbsp;Itkis said the video was his first time having coitus on camera.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I’m very much an introvert.&nbsp;I’m kind of a nerd who doesn’t like to be the centre of attention if I can avoid it. But I thought the issues I’m trying to address are so important...I wanted to have my issues talked about in some way.”</p>

<p>Itkis, reportedly, paired up with porn star&nbsp;Nicole Sage and titled the video&nbsp;“Bucket List Bonanza" before publishing it on a popular adult video platform.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Itkis on his election website&nbsp;also laid down his 'sex positive approach'&nbsp;policy by stating, "Actively oppose the conservative idea that sex should only happen between a man and a woman who are married to each other."</p>

<p>Notably,&nbsp;Itkis&nbsp;through his rather 'offbeat' campaign is attempting to unseat longtime Democrat&nbsp;Rep. Jerrold Nadler. The extent of competition Mike is facing can be gauged by the fact that Nadler won the June primary against New York city heavyweight&nbsp;Carolyn Maloney in her own bastion.&nbsp;</p>

New York congressional candidate releases sex tape to show his 'sex positive' stance

<p>The New York Attorney General’s Office has requested a judge to stop former United States President Donald Trump from transferring his businesses to a new company formed by his lawyers in Delaware.

New York AG asks judge to bar Donald Trump from moving assets to new company

<p>Republican governor candidate for New York Lee Zeldin said two strangers were shot outside his home on Sunday. Reportedly, the shooting took place around 2:18 PM local time when Zeldin's&nbsp;two 16-year-old daughters were inside the home.</p>

<p>Zeldin took to Twitter to inform that the bullets had landed just 30 feet from his daughters while he, along with his wife, was in a car en route to Morris Park.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Thank you to all who reached out with your concern regarding the 2 people shot this afternoon outside my home. Mikayla and Arianna were at the kitchen table doing homework. One of the bullets landed just 30 feet from them. They acted very swiftly and smartly in response," tweeted Zeldin.</p>

<p>India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has concluded his New York leg of the 10-day visit to the United States, where he held more than 50 meetings, of which 40 were one-to-one, apart from bilateral, trilateral and group meetings.</p>

<p>Many of his meetings with his counterparts were bilateral ones while some of them were informal meetings.</p>

<p>The bilateral meetings he had with are: United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Sweden foreign ministers (FM) Ann Linde, Syria FM Mekdad, Belarus FM Makei, Armenia FM, Saudi FM Prince Faisal bin Farhan, Russia FM Lavrov, Venezuela FM Carlos Faria, Jordan FM Hsafadi, Cyprus FM Ioannis Kasoulides, Maldives foreign minister Abdulla Shahid, Australia FM Penny Wong, Madagascar FM Richard J.

<p>No structured bilateral meeting took place between Jaishankar and his Chinese or Pakistani counterparts given the present state of the relationship.</p>

<p>Jaishankar also participated in four key trilaterals at the ministerial level. These are the India-Brazil-South Africa (IBSA), India-France-Australia, India-Indonesia-Australia and India-France-UAE.</p>

<p>The IBSA meet issued a joint statement focussing on cooperation in multilateral organisations, South-South Cooperation and United Nations and Security Council reform.</p>

<p>India will be hosting the 6th IBSA summit on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in November 2022 even as the presidency of the grouping is handed over to Brazil.</p>

<p>The other three trilateral meets focused on the Indo-Pacific issue.</p>

<p>The Indian foreign minister attended a meeting of five grouping meetings. These are: Quad, BRICS, G4, India-Caricom, G77 and bodies such as L69, India-CELAC Quartet.</p>

<p>The Quad’s joint statement said the focus has been on ransomware and the announcement of a partnership on humanitarian assistance.</p>

<p>India will be hosting the Quad foreign ministers meeting next year, and the summit in 2024.</p>

<p>While the G4 meet, including India, Brazil, Germany, and Japan, called for reforms of the United Nations Security Council, BRICS in a media statement saw China and Russia “reiterating the importance to the status and role of Brazil, India and South Africa in international affairs” and expressing support to their aspiration to “play a greater role in the UN”.</p>

<p>The statement, a standard one, does not clarify if China is keen on India getting a seat on the UNSC.</p>

<p>Notably, Beijing has been putting a block on UN reforms, especially India being on the high table.</p>

<p>Jaishankar also addressed the United Nations Security Council and the United Nations General Assembly, where he put India's position and worldview on several issues.</p>

<p>The UNSC meet was on Ukraine and it was chaired by France. In the meeting, Jaishankar said, "Trajectory of the Ukraine conflict is a matter of profound concern for the entire international community" while expressing New Delhi's worries over the situation.</p>

<p>The UNGA speech undoubtedly was the key focus. The 17-minute-long speech saw, sending a message to both Islamabad on the issue of terrorism, and Beijing on four key counts—debt crisis, stalling UN reforms, stopping listing of terrorists at UN and stability and security of Indo-Pacific.</p>

<p>He said, "Those who politicize the UNSC 1267 Sanctions regime, sometimes to the extent of defending proclaimed terrorists, do so at their own peril.”</p>

<p>China, earlier this month, put a hold on the listing of the key mastermind of 26/11 Sajid Mir from listing at the UNSC's international terror list—the 1267 Al Qaeda Sanctions committee. This was the third time that China blocked the listing of a Pakistan terrorist after Abdul Rehman Makki and Abdul Rauf.</p>

<p>In the next leg of his visit, the Indian foreign minister will be holding talks with US Secretary of state Blinken in Washington.</p>

<p>On Monday evening, the US Secretary of State will host a working dinner for Jaishankar in McLean, Virginia, according to the state department schedule.</p>

<p>"Israel killed Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. She was killed by the bullet of a sniper... the sniper recognised that he did kill her. Apart from Palestinian nationality, she was also an American national," he added.</p>

<p>He blamed Israel for attacking Muslim and Christian holy sites. He accused Israel of being an 'apartheid regime', and asked "Why isn't Israel being held accountable by the United Nations?"</p>

<p>A woman seeking asylum died by suicide in a New York City homeless shelter, Mayor Eric Adams said on Monday.</p>

<p>The declaration from the mayor comes as the city is having trouble finding housing for the large number of new immigrants.</p>

<p>“The thousands of asylum seekers we have seen arrive in our city came to this country seeking a better life. Sadly though, yesterday, an asylum seeker in one of our facilities took her own life,” Adams said in a statement. “Our hearts break for this young woman and any loved ones she may have, and we, as a city mourn her. This tragedy is a reminder that we have an obligation to do everything in our power to help those in need.”</p>

Adams stated on Sunday that the city is thinking about suing Texas for bringing migrants to New York without authorization.</p>

A woman seeking asylum died by suicide in a New York City homeless shelter, Mayor Eric Adams said on Monday. The declaration from the mayor comes as the city is having trouble finding housing for the large number of new immigrants. “The thousands of asylum seekers we have seen arrive in our city came to this country seeking a better life. Sadly though, yesterday, an asylum seeker in one of our facilities took her own life,” Adams said in a statement. “Our hearts break for this young woman and any loved ones she may have, and we, as a city mourn her. This tragedy is a reminder that we have an obligation to do everything in our power to help those in need.” As reported by the Politico, Adams commended the efforts made by the city to house the thousands of migrants who have arrived there in recent months and once more criticised Texas Governor Greg Abbott for bringing buses full of asylum seekers to the city. Adams stated on Sunday that the city is thinking about suing Texas for bringing migrants to New York without authorization. “This wasn’t a failure,” he told reporters at an unrelated press conference in Brooklyn when asked if the death represents a failure by the city. “A woman, I believe, was traumatized by this whole experience. This is not a failure of those men and women, those city employees who have stayed up late at night, been at the bus station feeding, navigating. No, it’s not a failure. City employees are not failures — they’re hardworking civil servants.” Also read | US arrests over 2 million migrants along the Mexico border, breaking previous record He continued, however, by accusing Abbott of having a policy of forcibly loading certain illegal immigrants onto buses bound for New York after they had crossed the southern border. “The failure was the governors that sent people on a multi-day bus ride without proper food, without medical care, without basic necessities, telling them they had to be treated in this inhumane way,” Adam’s said. “We didn’t fail in this city.
