Former president Barack Obama’s campaign manager, Jim Messina, warned on Sunday (Nov. 3) that early voting numbers are a "little scary" for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.&nbsp;

Messina, in an interview on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki” said that the Republicans are voting early at rates higher than they have historically, which could further change what the vote breakdown looks like when early returns come in on election night.

“Early vote numbers are a little scary,” Messina told Psaki.&nbsp;

Messina has worked in both administrations of Obama and President Joe Biden, before becoming a host on MSNBC.&nbsp;

“Republicans didn’t do what they did last time. Last time, Trump said, ‘Don’t early vote.’ And so they didn’t. Republicans do have an advantage in early vote numbers. When the early vote comes in, it’s going to look a little bit different than 2020, and that’s scary,” he said.&nbsp;

However, he added that Harris is holding strong in the last leg of the campaign and he is optimistic about the voting turnout for Harris among young voters and women.

“But when you kind of dig into the numbers, the numbers that I care the most about are two blocs: women voters and young voters, and those two voting blocs are coming big, Jen. Women voters make up 55 percent of the early voters, and in the past 10 days, young voters in these battleground states are coming out — in what looks to be, for an early vote, historic numbers — and that makes the Harris campaign very, very happy,” Messina said.

“But when you look at some of the early vote numbers, it has led lots of your friends and my friends to call me panicking,” he added. “And I do think it is true: The Republicans have done a better job than they did last time on early vote.”

The Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump claimed that the former First Lady Michelle Obama has been "nasty" with him and "hit" him.&nbsp;

Addressing his closing rally on Monday (Nov 4) in North Carolina, the former president asked the crowd if he was "allowed to hit back at her now."&nbsp;

Narrating a conversation with his adviser, Trump said, "Michelle...I was so nice to her out of respect. She hit me the other day. I would say,&nbsp;‘Am I allowed to hit her now?’ They said: ‘Take it easy, sir.’ My geniuses, they said, ‘Just take it easy.’ ‘What do you mean? She said that about me, I can’t hit back?’ ‘Sir, you’re winning. Just relax.'"

An Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza on Monday (November 04) night killed at least 20 people, most of whom were women and children, claimed Palestinian authorities on Tuesday.

The strike hit a residence in Beit Lahiya, a town close to Israel’s border, where several families who had been displaced were taking shelter, said local media reports.

The Israeli military said that the target was a weapons storage site used by a militant. They added that “numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians.”

According to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry’s emergency services, the victims included eight women and six children. Additional airstrikes across Gaza on Tuesday morning killed another 10 people, health officials confirmed.

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) have ordered a full evacuation of Beit Lahiya, along with the nearby town of Beit Hanoun and the densely populated Jabaliya refugee camp.

In a seperate development, over 100 patients, including children with trauma and chronic illnesses, will be transported from Gaza in a rare evacuation from the conflict-affected area, a World Health Organization (WHO) official confirmed on Tuesday.

“These are ad hoc measures. What we have requested repeatedly is a sustained medevac (medical evacuation) outside of Gaza,” stated Rik Peeperkorn, the WHO’s representative for the Occupied Palestinian Territory, noting that 12,000 individuals were still in need of transfer.

The patients will be part of a large convoy passing through the Kerem Shalom crossing into Israel before flying to the United Arab Emirates. From there, some will continue their journey to Romania, he added.

Israeli attack in Gaza kills 20, including women and children, say Palestinian officials

German police on Tuesday arrested eight suspected members of a far-right militant group that had trained for what they expected would be the collapse of state order, prosecutors said.

Hundreds of police in pre-dawn raids swooped on 20 locations linked to the group "Saxonian Separatists" in formerly communist eastern Germany and neighbouring Poland, with locations also searched in Austria.

Federal prosecutors said the operation targeted "a militant group of 15 to 20 individuals whose ideology is characterised by racist, anti-Semitic and partially apocalyptic ideas".

<a class="close-mark close-div" href="#" id="jqclosemark">×</a></div>

The prosecutors said the group's members, mostly young men, strongly rejected Germany's liberal democratic order and believed the government was nearing "collapse" on an unspecified "Day X".

In anticipation of that day, the militants had planned to take control of parts of their state of Saxony and potentially other east German regions.

Their plan was "to establish governmental and societal structures inspired by National Socialism" (Nazism) &nbsp;that would have sought to target "unwanted groups of people by means of ethnic cleansing".

They had conducted paramilitary training in combat gear, with a focus on "urban warfare and firearms handling" as well as marching and patrolling.

Authorities partially named the suspects, all German nationals, as alleged ringleader Joerg S. and members Kurt H., Karl K., Kevin M., Hans-Georg P., Kevin R., Joern S. and Norman T.

They were arrested in and near the cities of Leipzig and Dresden, with Joerg S., 23, detained in Poland.

Prosecutors said raids on Tuesday also targeted the premises of individuals not considered suspects in Austria, including the capital Vienna.

<h2>'Longing for Day X'</h2>

News magazine Der Spiegel wrote that one of the suspects, Kurt H., is a member of the youth wing of the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD), and that he suffered a gunshot wound during the arrest.

Spiegel, citing unnamed security sources, said that he had reached for a rifle and police commandos fired two "warning shots".&nbsp;

Kurt H. collapsed with a shot wound to the jaw which was not life-threatening, and it remained unclear whether the bullet was discharged by a police gun or his own rifle, the report said.

The anti-immigration AfD is especially popular in the east of Germany and made strong gains in regional elections in the states of Thuringia and Brandenburg in September.

Prosecutors said the group "Saxonian Separatists", with the initials SS like those of Adolf Hitler's paramilitary organisation the Schutzstaffel, was founded about four years ago and that its members had since then made "continuous preparations for the perceived inevitable and violent change of government".

The group had procured camouflage fatigues, combat helmets, gas masks and bullet-proof vests, prosecutors said in a statement.

Some of those arrested were known to security services as members of the New Right, right-wing extremist parties or the neo-Nazi scene, said Thomas Haldenwang, head of the domestic security service the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

Some of the right-wing extremists are "very young" and linked to groups that are active online and "glorify the actions of well-known right-wing terrorists" such as Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik, he said.

More than 450 law enforcement personnel joined the operation, including state and federal police officers and commandos, in cooperation with the domestic intelligence service.

The men arrested later faced the Federal Court of Justice in the western city of Karlsruhe to keep them in pre-trial detention.

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said the security services had "thwarted at an early stage militant plans for a coup by right-wing terrorists who were longing for a Day X to attack people and the state with armed force".

Germany has dismantled several far-right cells in recent years, including a bizarre plot led by an aristocrat who has since been on trial&nbsp;for planning a coup.

Their plan allegedly drew inspiration from the global QAnon movement and the German Reichsbuerger (Citizens of the Reich), which reject the legitimacy of the modern German republic.

According to Germany's intelligence services, the country's number of right-wing extremists considered potentially violent rose to 14,500 last year.

Some of the right-wing extremists are "very young" and linked to groups that are active online and "glorify the actions of well-known right-wing terrorists" such as Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik, he said. More than 450 law enforcement personnel joined the operation, including state and federal police officers and commandos, in cooperation with the domestic intelligence service. The men arrested later faced the Federal Court of Justice in the western city of Karlsruhe to keep them in pre-trial detention. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said the security services had "thwarted at an early stage militant plans for a coup by right-wing terrorists who were longing for a Day X to attack people and the state with armed force". Germany has dismantled several far-right cells in recent years, including a bizarre plot led by an aristocrat who has since been on trial for planning a coup. Their plan allegedly drew inspiration from the global QAnon movement and the German Reichsbuerger (Citizens of the Reich), which reject the legitimacy of the modern German republic. According to Germany's intelligence services, the country's number of right-wing extremists considered potentially violent rose to 14,500 last year.

Explainer: US Congressional Elections

Abortion-related ballot measures will be voted on in 10 states along with general elections, where Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump are in a tight race for president.

Florida, Colorado, Maryland, Arizona, Montana, Nebraska, Missouri, Nevada, New York and South Dakota are the states voting on ballot measures on reproductive rights on Tuesday (Nov. 5) along with the general elections.

Championed by the Democrats, reproductive rights are a key issue for many women voters in this election.

Depending on whether the&nbsp;state is Democrat- or Republican-ruled, these ballot measures contain pro-life or pro-choice questions.

</div>
<a class="close-mark close-div" href="#" id="jqclosemark">×</a></div>

The measures come two years after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, the verdict on a landmark case that gave women reproductive rights.

Before the general elections, seven state referendums were held on abortion, and the pro-choice bloc won all of them.

Whatever be the results of these measures, legal challenges are certain to follow. And new legislation will have to be enacted in order for them to come into effect.

Below are the details of ballot measures in these 10 states:

<h2>Arizona Proposition 139, Right to Abortion Initiative</h2>

In this battleground state, the measure seeks to enshrine the right to abortion until fetal viability, or about 24 weeks, in the state constitution. The state has banned abortion after 15 weeks.

<h2>Colorado Amendment 79, Right to Abortion and Health Insurance Coverage Initiative</h2>

The measure in the state, which currently has no gestational limit on abortion, seeks to amend the state constitution to block the government from denying, impeding or discriminating against individuals’ right to abortion. It needs 55 per cent of ayes to pass.

<h2>Florida Amendment 4, Right to Abortion Initiative</h2>

In Republican-led Florida, the question is whether to replace the state's six-week ban with protections up to fetal viability and enshrine the same in its constitution. It needs 60 per cent votes in favour to pass.

<h2>Maryland Question 1, Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment</h2>

The measure, initiated by legislators and not citizens unlike in other states, aims to enshrine in the state constitution the right to reproductive freedom, including abortion. This state has no gestational limit.

<h2>Nebraska Initiative 434, Prohibit Abortions After the First Trimester Amendment</h2>

Unlike other states, Nebraska has two competing ballot measures on the abortion issue: one on protecting abortion rights up to fetal viability, and the other maintaining the state’s existing 12-week ban. Whichever measure gets the most votes among the two will pass.

<h2>Nevada Question 6, Right to Abortion Initiative</h2>

The desert state's measure seeks to protect the right to abortion up until viability, or after viability, in cases where a patient’s health or life may be under threat.

<h2>New York Proposal 1, Equal Protection of Law Amendment</h2>

This measure is broader in scope, seeking to end discrimination on the basis of sex, including sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, and reproductive health. As of now, the state protects right to abortion until fetal viability.

<h2>South Dakota Constitutional Amendment G, Right to Abortion Initiative</h2>

Limited in scope, the measure seeks abortion rights in the first trimester of pregnancy. There is already a legal challenge on the validity of signatures that led to this measure being on the ballot. This means the ballot result could be null and void if the signatures are ruled invalid.

<h2>Missouri Amendment 3, Right to Reproductive Freedom Initiative</h2>

The state has imposed near-total ban on abortion. The measure seeks to overturn it and enshrine a guarantee of reproductive freedom, including abortion care, in the state constitution.

<h2>Montana CI-128, Right to Abortion Initiative</h2>

Montana has not banned abortion but the measure seeks to enshrine the right explicitly in the state constitution.&nbsp;

US Elections: Abortion is on the ballot in these 10 states. What are they voting for?

Spain's national guard on Tuesday asked relatives of people missing in deadly floods to provide DNA samples to identify bodies, as Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said he was earmarking 10.6 billion euros ($11.6 billion) to help victims.

More than 200 people died after heavy rains last week caused waterways to overflow, creating flash floods that surged through suburbs south of the city of Valencia, sweeping away cars and bridges and flooding properties and underground car parks.

"There are still missing persons to be located, homes and businesses destroyed, buried under the mud and many people suffering severe shortages," Sanchez said in a press conference in Madrid. "We have to keep working."

The government has declined to say how many people are missing almost a week on from the disaster. Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska said only that it was a "significant number" and that in the absence of clear information, it was "best not to specify".

At least 217 people died in Valencia, Castile La Mancha and Andalusia, but only 111 have been identified so far.

The aid will include 838 million euros in direct cash handouts to small businesses and freelance workers affected by the disaster and 5 billion euros of state-guaranteed loans, while the national government will finance 100% of the clean-up costs incurred by local governments and half of the repair to infrastructure, Sanchez said.

More than 100,000 cars were damaged by the floods, Sonia Luque, coordinator of the Network of Road Assistance Companies (REAC), said.

<h2>'It's a tsunami'</h2>

Hector, a police inspector speaking in Paiporta, one of the worst-hit neighbourhoods, said he had experienced plenty of flooding in nearby Alicante but nothing like this.

"This isn't a flash flood - it's a tsunami," Hector, who declined to give his last name, said.

In the face of criticism and anger at the slow response to the disaster, Sanchez said the government had deployed nearly 15,000 police and military to help clear flood-affected areas, along with hundreds of forestry officials, forensic scientists, customs agents and heavy machinery to clear roads and rubble.

Defending the government's response, Sanchez said he had not called a state of emergency, which would have given Madrid control of the crisis, because it would have been less efficient.

He said personnel had been ready to be deployed from the first minute but had required the approval of the regional government run by the conservative People's Party.

Valencia's regional leader Carlos Mazon said on Monday the delay in warning people was caused by the Hydrographic Confederation of Jucar (CHJ), which measures the flow of rivers and ravines for the state, cancelling a planned alert three times.

The CHJ fired back that it does not issue flood risk alerts, which are the responsibility of Spain's regional governments. ($1 = 0.9175 euros)

Top 10 world news: US election day updates; Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist killed in J&K, and more

A Hawaii school faced the wrath of angry parents after it was revealed their children were being exposed to ‘biased’ political materials at the hands of teachers that showed former US president and Republican leader Donald Trump in a negative light. The matter came to notice&nbsp;when sixth graders at Kapolei Middle School, in Kapolei, were distributed documents with ‘details’ about the presidential candidates.

The document mentioned that Donald Trump “tried to overturn the 2020 election,” and even accused the Republican presidential nominee of taking immigrant “children away from their parents.”

On the other hand, the document spoke highly of his Democratic rival Kamala Harris, praising her for working to “keep our country a democracy.” On immigration, the document praises Harris for ‘plans to hiring more border guards and limiting how many people can move to the US.'

Parents were quick to criticise this new political ‘awareness’ campaign by the school authorities, despite a clarification by Hawaii's Department of Education (DoE), which said the document was aimed at ‘simplifying’ the 2024 White House race for the students.

Some parents said they were very ‘upset’ with the loaded characterisation.

‘Stick to education,’ Parents slam Hawaii school for distributing ‘biased’ political material to students

A Belgian publisher has withdrawn the sale of a comic book after controversy erupted over the books' racist depiction of black people and 'hyper-sexualised' images of women.&nbsp; 
 
The publisher Dupuis announced that its graphic novel, Spirou and the Blue Gorgon, would be removed from shops after the book was called out on social media. 
 
In an announcement last week, Dupuis said it was “profoundly sorry if this album has been shocking and hurtful”, adding that it had been done in a “caricatured style of representation from another era”.&nbsp; 
 
The publisher added that it was “more aware than ever of our moral duty and the importance of comics,” adding: “We take full responsibility today for this error of judgment.” 
 
Spirou and the Blue Gorgon, a satirical tale of so-called “eco-terrorists”, junk food and plastic rubbish, was first published in September 2023. The comic book was widely reviewed in the Francophone press back at the time of its release, and there was no controversy around it.&nbsp; 
 
However, in October 2024, a TikTok video denounced its portrayal of black people and women. The viral video led to a great deal of criticism. One internet user noted that all the white characters were human beings, while black characters were depicted as monkeys in the book. The user also pointed out that the women were typically drawn with plunging cleavage and tiny waists, and were “hyper-sexualised”.

After the publisher’s decision, local media reported that approximately 30,000 copies would be removed from sale, a decision said to be the first of its kind in Belgium.

Comic strips are considered an art form in Belgium and France, but some works have been strongly criticised for their stereotypical depictions of women and people of colour. 
 
A similar uproar had occurred in 2011, with many seeking a ban on the 1930 comic book Tintin and the Congo over its portrayal of Africans. The request was turned down by Belgian courts. 
 
The cartoonist behind the Blue Gorgon, Daniel Henrotin, who uses the pen name Dany, said he had been emulating the style of the late Belgian comic strip artist, André Franquin, who was celebrated in the 1950s. Dany said he recognised he had “made a mistake” and was “truly sorry if I could have hurt anyone”.

While speaking to The Guardian, the 81-year-old artist denied having any racist or misogynist intentions and added that his goal was not to mock or denigrate people of colour and women. 
 
“I heard it said that we cannot draw like that today. I respond that humour and caricature are in the DNA of the Belgian school of bande dessinée," the artist reportedly said.&nbsp;

Hawaii US Presidential Election 2024: Voting, Senate, House, results, What you should know

Google's chief executive Sundar Pichai, in a company-wide email, issued a stark warning to the employees on Monday (Nov. 4) saying that the company must be a “trusted source of information to people of every background and belief" whosoever wins the presidential elections, The Washington Post reported.

The email sent by Pichai is being seen as an effort being made by the Silicon Valley companies to remain involved in the politics of the United States through various issues like AI-generated disinformation and social media gimmicks. However, the priority of tech companies has been to avoid conflict with Trump and his supporters.

<h2>Trump vs Google</h2>

United States former president and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has time and again accused the search engine giant of being biased against him and promoting “bad stories about him”. In September, Trump had also promised that if he comes to power, he will prosecute the company over alleged election interference.

"It has been determined that Google has illegally used a system of only revealing and displaying bad stories about Donald J. Trump, some made up for this purpose while, at the same time, only revealing good stories about Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris," Trump wrote a post on his social network Truth Social.

“This is an illegal activity, and hopefully the Justice Department will criminally prosecute them for this blatant interference of elections. If not, and subject to the laws of our country, I will request their prosecution, at the maximum levels, when I win the election, and become president of the United States,” he was quoted as saying by Reuters.

Later, Trump said that Pichai called him and spoke about his popularity on Google search. He added that the CEO was among many notable business executives and billionaires who had&nbsp;met him in recent months.

After facing accusations of letting false information spread online during the 2016 elections, political advertising was restricted by platforms like Google-owned YouTube and Meta-owned Facebook, and billions were spent to enhance content moderation. Most of the social media platforms had kicked out Trump after the January 6 US Capitol attack.

However, in the 2024 presidential campaign, the bans were removed by the tech companies&nbsp;and political content was reduced on Facebook and Instagram, and people were allowed to make claims regarding election fraud without any penalty on YouTube.

Khamenei’s initial response to Israeli strikes last month, that largely targeted military sites in the Shi’ite country, was mild and he had said the attack “should not be exaggerated nor downplayed”. However, he has adopted a more aggressive posture over the last week.

Khamenei’s chief of staff Mohammad Mohammadi Golpayegani also warned on Thursday (Oct 31) that Iranian strikes would be “fierce and tooth-breaking”.

The same day, Maj Gen Hossein Salami, the head of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps, pledged the Iranian response “will surpass all expectations”.

“Israel believed it could change the regional balance of power by launching a few missiles,” Salami said. “You have once again proven that you do not understand the Iranian people, and your calculations are completely wrong.”

Israeli intelligence believes the looming attack would be much more powerful than the previous October 1 Iranian attack, involving more weapons and more powerful warheads. The attack may be launched from Iraq, where Iran’s powerful Shia militias are active.

Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that any new Iranian attacks would be met with a rapid response. While addressing a graduation ceremony on Thursday, Netanyahu said, “Regarding Iran, we struck its soft underbelly … The haughty words of the Iranian regime’s leaders cannot cover up the fact that in Iran today, Israel has greater freedom of action than ever before. We can go anywhere that we need to in Iran.”

The US has also stepped up its defence support to Israel in the region. In October, a squadron of F-16 fighters and refuelling tankers was deployed in Qatar. Now, six additional US B-52 bombers are also believed to have arrived over the weekend.
