Dozens of US House Democrats urge US President Joe Biden to push Israel for independent media access to Gaza.Israel has severely restricted international journalists from entering Gaza as its military has carried out its assault on the Palestinian territory for more than a year. Politicians in the United States are questioning the decision to block access to foreign media outlets. Weeks before Americans elect a new president, dozens of Democrats from the House of Representatives have written to US President Joe Biden, urging him to press Israel for “unrestricted, independent media access to Gaza.” Will the US president act?

The Los Angeles Dodgers are throwing a curveball to start the World Series.On Tuesday, the Dodgers revealed their starter for Game 1 against the New York Yankees on Friday. They will be giving the ball to righty Jack Flaherty, per Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times.That is a surprising decision for a couple of reasons. For one, Flaherty pitched more recently than both Walker Buehler and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, getting the call in last Friday’s Game 5 of the NLCS vs. the New York Mets. For another, Buehler and Yamamoto both looked very good in their most recent starts (in…

Meta says its AI could help mathematiciansTada Images/Shutterstock An AI system developed by Meta can find solutions to maths problems that have eluded mathematicians for over a century, researchers at the firm claim. The problems involve mathematical tools called Lyapunov functions, named after mathematician Aleksandr Lyapunov, which analyse whether a system will remain stable over time, meaning its behaviour can be predicted. One famous example of such a system is the motion of three celestial bodies as a result of their mutual gravitational interactions – describing the behaviour of this “three-body problem” is extremely challenging.

WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris plans to spend election night in Washington D.C., with her campaign eyeing her alma mater, Howard University, as a possible venue for her to speak from, according to seven people familiar with the planning. While it’s possible the election results could be known within hours and not days, the Democratic campaign is preparing for a much longer stretch — perhaps even an election “week” — without an outcome, these people said.That plan could include several different speeches and venues for delivering them. Precisely what Harris says publicly and the backdrop for her remarks would depend…
Getty ImagesFacebook and Instagram owner Meta is to introduce facial recognition technology to try and crack down on scammers who fraudulently use celebrities in adverts.Elon Musk and personal finance expert, Martin Lewis, are among those to fall victim to such scams, which typically promote investment schemes and crypto-currencies.Mr Lewis previously told the Today programme, on BBC Radio 4, that he receives “countless” reports of his name and face being used in such scams every day, and had been left feeling “sick” by them.Meta already uses an ad review system which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to detect fake celebrity endorsements but…
Al-Qaeda, the same terrorist organization that was blamed for 9/11, has called on Hamas militants to release Israeli hostages. Mustafa Hamid, also known as Abu Walid al-Masri, who is father-in-law to Saif al-Adel, the man believed to now head Al-Qaeda, allegedly issued a statement calling for the immediate release of hostages, SITE claims. SITE Intelligence Group is a for-profit American-based consultancy group that tracks white supremacist and jihadist organizations. This is the same agency that allegedly received a 30-minute video of Osama bin Laden in September 2007 and was tasked with releasing it to the press. Some called that video…

Messina made the comments in an interview with Biden’s former press secretary Jen Psaki on her MSNBC show Sunday. He believes Trump will pursue legal action to fight back against voting irregularities in swing states. “Everyone’s talking about Nov. 5 and who’s going to win on Election Day. My worry is the…

BEIRUT: Hezbollah said it had fired rockets at two bases near the Israeli city of Tel Aviv and one west of Haifa on Tuesday morning (Oct 22) just hours before US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Israel to make another push for an elusive ceasefire. Diplomatic efforts have so far failed to bring an end to the year-long war in the Palestinian territory of Gaza and its spillover conflict between the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah and Israel, which has intensified in recent weeks after a year of exchanges of fire mostly across Lebanon’s southern border. Shortly after Blinken…
