Driver in deadly Los Angeles metro station crash is arrested on DUI and murder counts
SUMMARY: Los Angeles police say the driver of a minivan that killed three people when it crashed outside a busy metro station was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and three counts of murder. A police spokesperson identified the driver Wednesday as 61-year-old Ihor Demianenko. The spokesperson didn’t know whether he was still at a hospital, and it was not immediately clear if he had a lawyer. Police have said he was taken out of the vehicle and was able to talk after Tuesday's crash, but appeared in shock. The crash also critically injured two women, and the mayor says the victims included street vendors and pedestrians.

Judge jails Thomas Markle, father of Meghan, after he cut off his ankle monitor
SUMMARY: The 82-year-old estranged father of Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has been ordered to jail after cutting an electronic monitoring device off his ankle. Thomas Markle was arrested last week in Lakeland, Florida, for keeping child sexual abuse material in storage units in California. He was released at the time on certain conditions. But authorities say he subsequently cut off a monitoring device. Markle's arrest Friday followed the seizure of approximately 78 items, including slides, film negatives, and books that contained suspected child sexual abuse images from a storage unit in the Los Angeles area.

Texas man charged in cruise ship killing had argued with wife in their cabin, FBI says
SUMMARY: A cruise ship passenger has been charged with killing his wife in their cabin after the vessel departed from Texas this weekend. Court documents reveal that Jason Watford told FBI agents that he beat and choked his wife, Susan Watford, after an argument caused him to “snap.” The FBI criminal complaint says Susan was found dead Sunday after Jason, his hands and clothes bloodied, opened their room's door for a ship housekeeper. The 48-year-old Watford was taken into custody Monday and made an initial federal court appearance Tuesday in Galveston. His public defender did not respond to requests for comment.

US charges 3 men with plotting terror attacks, including planned assault on UK air base
SUMMARY: U.S. authorities have charged three men with plotting a campaign of nearly 20 attacks targeting Jewish communities in Europe and the U.S., along with another targeting a British military base. Federal prosecutors brought the terrorism-related charges against a dual Iranian-Iraqi national, an Iranian national and an Iraqi national in a superseding indictment. It was unsealed Tuesday in Manhattan federal court. U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald said the dual Iranian-Iraqi national is the only suspect in custody. The indictment alleges the man continued to coordinate plots from jail with his co-defendants in the days leading to an attempted September terrorist attack at a British Royal Air Force Base in western England. U.S. bombers then stationed at the base were flown home soon afterward.

Police investigate whether burned Ohio State University students were victims of hazing
SUMMARY: Police are investigating whether two Ohio State University students, treated for burns after being engulfed in flames at a party, were hazing victims. The university placed the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity on interim suspension after a video circulated showing a group surrounding the burning students. The incident occurred Saturday. A student reported the possible hazing after seeing the video. The victims were treated for second- and third-degree burns. Ohio's "Collin’s Law," signed in 2021, toughens penalties for hazing. Ohio State maintains a public list of hazing violations, but Sigma Alpha Epsilon hasn't appeared on it in the last five years.

Ex-officer convicted of killing Sandra Birchmore to keep Massachusetts woman quiet about sex abuse
SUMMARY: A former Massachusetts police detective has been convicted of murdering a pregnant woman to keep her from revealing he had sexually abused her when she was 15. Matthew Farwell was convicted Tuesday of strangling Birchmore in 2021 and staging the crime scene to make her death look like a suicide. An initial police investigation concluded Birchmore killed herself. The FBI began looking into the case two years later and concluded it was a homicide. Farwell’s lawyers acknowledged the married detective had an affair with Birchmore, but say it began when she was old enough to consent and that he did not kill her.

Native American women made history in tribal, state and federal elections
SUMMARY: Native American women earned historic wins in Tuesday's elections. Crystalyne Curley made history as the first woman elected to the Navajo Nation presidency. Peggy Flanagan became the first Native woman elected to the U.S. Senate. Former U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, whose career is defined by “firsts,” broke ground as the first Native woman elected governor in her home state of New Mexico. Their victories mark a turning point for Native women, whose leadership in their families and communities hasn’t always translated to formal political power.

White House confronts Democrats over planned probes, claiming possible 'criminality'
SUMMARY: The White House has issued a warning to Democrats over their planned probes into the Trump administration. It's going as far as claiming that such investigations, which are a standard oversight function of Congress, may amount to “blatant criminality.” White House counsel Will Scharf issued the warning in a letter dated Monday to Rep. Robert Garcia, top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee. Garcia most likely would chair the powerful panel in the new Democratic-controlled Congress. Garcia said in response to the letter that “it appears Donald Trump has something to hide” and stressed that Congress’s investigative powers do not need the “permission of the White House.”

Biden says he wouldn't have run for a second term in 2024 if he knew he had cancer
SUMMARY: Joe Biden says he didn't know he had cancer while he was president and wouldn't have sought a second term if he'd already been diagnosed. The former Democratic president’s comments came in an interview with People magazine before the release of his White House memoir on Tuesday. Biden, who turns 84 on Nov. 20, was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer months after leaving office in 2025. He tells People that “if I had known that I was feeling lousy because I had cancer,” then he wouldn't have gone ahead with a 2024 reelection bid. His campaign ended after a disastrous debate performance against Republican Donald Trump.

Bernie Sanders won't support Schumer for Senate Democratic leader, saying it's time for change
SUMMARY: Sen. Bernie Sanders says he won't be supporting Sen. Chuck Schumer as the Democratic majority leader in the new Congress. Sanders was joined Tuesday by Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan at a news conference at the Capitol. Together they said there needs to be a debate over the Democratic Party’s direction and a new generation of leadership for the party in the Senate. The demand for change sets up a seismic confrontation after the party’s sweep to power in the midterm elections. The party has been meeting privately as it assesses leadership ahead of elections expected next week.

Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio elected to lead House Republicans in the minority
SUMMARY: Rep. Jim Jordan has been elected the next House Republican leader. Jordan of Ohio on Tuesday defeated Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana in a secret-ballot election of Republicans who will serve in the next Congress. Jordan, 62, is a co-founder of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus and served as its first chairman. Jordan's place in the House Republican leadership comes as the party prepares for its new role in the minority and a flurry of Democratic investigations aimed at its standard-bearer in the White House. His candidacy appealed to those looking for new leadership in the wake of last week’s election debacle and to those who like his hard-hitting political style. The vote was 106-73.

House Republicans quash effort to impeach Defense Secretary Hegseth
SUMMARY: The House has turned aside a resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The vote Tuesday halted an effort to remove Hegseth as Pentagon chief for his conduct in office and his handling of the war in Iran. The vote came as Republicans grapple with the fallout from sweeping midterm losses that some in the party have blamed on the war in Iran and the resulting surge in gas prices. But after President Donald Trump signaled strong support for Hegseth, GOP lawmakers largely stood by the secretary. They rejected the impeachment effort led by Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie and backed by Democrats.

Senate Republicans vote to keep John Thune as leader after steep election losses
SUMMARY: Senate Republicans have reelected South Dakota Sen. John Thune as their leader. The vote Tuesday came after a tense day of discussions about the party's steep losses in the midterm elections that cost them their majority. Thune was always expected to prevail, as he is popular with his GOP colleagues and was running unopposed. But Senate Republicans vented their frustrations in three separate meetings Tuesday after an election wipeout that cost them at least seven Senate seats. Republicans were also pushing Thune to stay in session around the clock in the coming weeks to push through war spending and other party priorities before they lose power in January.

Dreams, desks and selfies: Newly elected members of Congress learn their way around
SUMMARY: More than 100 newly elected members of Congress are arriving in Washington this week for the start of freshmen orientation. There's a crush of new Democrats and the slim new class of freshmen Republicans. Many are bringing a new sense of urgency after the Democratic Party's sweep of the midterm elections. New-member orientation creates an unusual mash-up on Capitol Hill. The newcomers are arriving and the exiting lawmakers begin to clear out. There are briefing rooms set-up with all the details about setting up a new office and taking official portraits. It's all in preparation for the peaceful transfer of power on Jan. 3, when lawmakers are sworn in and the new Congress begins.

Impeachment isn't only for presidents. How does the process work for Cabinet secretaries?
SUMMARY: The Constitution allows Congress to impeach and remove federal officials, including Cabinet secretaries. Article II, Section 4 covers “all civil Officers of the United States.” Impeachment addresses abuses of power and breaches of public trust, not just criminal violations. The process for impeaching Cabinet secretaries is similar to that for presidents. It begins in the House of Representatives, which investigates and votes on impeachment. If impeached, a trial is held in the Senate. A two-thirds Senate vote is needed for conviction and removal. Impeachment of Cabinet secretaries is rare.

Democrats have gained control in more states. That could change the way the US elects its president
SUMMARY: Last week's big Democratic wins could change the way the U.S. elects its president. That's because Democrats picked up unified control of six more states. Eighteen states run by Democrats have already joined an interstate compact to award their Electoral College votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the national popular vote. Just a few more states would push that number above the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. There will most likely be legal challenges that could only be settled by the Supreme Court, and it's unclear whether the governors in all the states newly under Democratic control are on board with the compact.

Walliams and Brand were leading UK comics. Now they are part of a reckoning over sexual misconduct
SUMMARY: A day after British actor-comedian Russell Brand was sent to prison for rape and sexual assault, allegations have surfaced against another leading comedian, David Walliams. The cases have sparked a wider reckoning about celebrity misconduct in the U.K. Walliams, a feted children's author and well-known TV personality, is facing allegations of using his fame to exploit young female fans. He had sought to block news organizations from publishing these claims, but a judge dismissed his bid. Walliams has not been charged, but the revelations have prompted questions about the media and entertainment industries' roles in enabling such behavior. Authorities are now urging stronger protections for women.

Ebola tops 11,000 cases in Congo's deadliest outbreak
SUMMARY: Congo's Ebola outbreak has topped 11,000 cases, highlighting the severity of the situation. The health ministry reported on Wednesday 11,042 infections and 5,387 deaths, making it Congo's deadliest outbreak. The crisis began in mid-May, and authorities have struggled to contain it due to armed conflicts, a health system crisis, poor roads, and violence fueled by mistrust. The Bundibugyo virus responsible for this outbreak has no known vaccine or treatment and has spread to eight provinces. Health workers face attacks, and experts urge more efforts to contain the disease, which has spread to Uganda, Kenya, and Nigeria.

Eisenkot unveils agenda to reverse Netanyahu’s policies as Israel's new parliament is sworn in
SUMMARY: Gadi Eisenkot, the politician tasked with forming a new Israeli government, has pledged to reverse many of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s policies. Israel's new parliament was sworn in Tuesday, setting the stage for a consequential month of legislative action and coalition negotiations. Eisenkot, a former general, has up to six weeks to form a government that would end Netanyahu's tenure as Israel’s longest-serving prime minister. Eisenkot's bloc introduced a series of bills at the opening session, including measures to establish a government-led inquiry into the Hamas-led attacks of Oct. 7, 2023, impose term limits on the prime minister and reverse changes made by the outgoing Netanyahu-led government to curb the judiciary’s powers.

Analysts weigh how Democrats’ midterm wins could shift Trump’s Latin America policy
SUMMARY: Analysts are examining how recent Democratic wins in the U.S. midterm elections might impact Latin America during President Donald Trump's final two years. Initial signals from the White House have been mixed, especially on immigration. Deportations are set to continue, but some Texas cities plan to limit cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In Mexico, pressure on cartels may increase with joint U.S.-Mexico operations expected to continue. Venezuela and Cuba remain key focuses, with Democrats pushing for investigations into oil deals and elections. Economic policies may see adjustments, but tariffs are likely to remain a tool for political leverage.

Immigration arrests go on unabated despite Trump's misgivings after the GOP's midterm wipeout
SUMMARY: In the wake of midterm elections, President Donald Trump said his immigration crackdown may have been “too tough” and suggested it was time to sit down with the Democrats. Despite those misgivings, immigration arrests have continued unabated. In Los Angeles, a line of immigration officers in masks and body armor blocked the entrance to a hospital emergency room in a heavily Latino neighborhood early Saturday. In the hills of central Alabama, twin 19-year-old brothers from Venezuela were arrested at a traffic stop heading back to college the day after elections.

The Nasdaq composite rallied 1.9%, and CoreWeave helped drive the gains after reporting stronger results for the summer than analysts expected. But stocks outside of AI were not doing as well, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added only a modest 57 points. The U.S. bond market is closed for a holiday, and oil prices rose.

SUMMARY: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is reportedly involved in a scandal with Alice Huang, a former tech executive accused of being a Chinese spy. Reports suggest she was recruited to influence Nvidia to make its most advanced chips more available in China. Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, had a career in Chinese finance before joining Singapore-based Megaspeed, an Nvidia cloud partner. Megaspeed has faced scrutiny for allegedly bypassing U.S. export laws to send Nvidia chips to China. The company has denied these accusations. Singapore's government stated previously that there were no investigations into Alice Huang, even though they have been probing Megaspeed.

As higher prices seep into broader economy, Fed officials consider faster hikes
SUMMARY: More evidence this week of hot inflation in the U.S. was unpleasant news for the Federal Reserve, not to mention consumers: Rising prices may be spreading beyond the one-time shocks from tariffs and high gas prices into the wider economy, meaning that mortgages, credit cards and other forms of borrowing are likely to become increasingly expensive. Tuesday’s consumer price index report showed broadly rising costs across a range of goods and services. There is increasing anxiety among Fed officials that higher oil prices stemming from the Iran war may last longer than previously thought.

Nvidia and Jensen Huang face shareholder lawsuit alleging investors were misled about spy affair
SUMMARY: A shareholder has sued Nvidia and CEO Jensen Huang, accusing them of deceiving investors about Huang's affair with a purported Chinese spy. The lawsuit, filed Monday, claims the affair threatens national security. President Donald Trump said the FBI is investigating the matter, which Huang has admitted to and apologized for. Concerns have arisen that Beijing may be using the affair to access Nvidia microchips, crucial for AI development but restricted from export to China. The complaint, filed in California, alleges Nvidia misled investors about the affair's impact. Nvidia did not immediately comment. Shares fell about 5.5% on Tuesday.

The summit comes after a year of deadly floods, heat waves and other climate-related disasters. What will be accomplished at COP31 remains uncertain as top leaders of some of the world’s biggest polluting nations — including the United States, China and India — skipped the summit.

Both sites have emotional ties to Pope Francis. But the trip’s emotional highlight comes when Leo returns to Peru. That's where he served as a missionary priest and bishop for more than two decades. A massive national party is planned to greet Leo. He's known to Peruvians as Padre Robert and beloved for ministering to poor communities.

SUMMARY: The Minnesota Vikings have reacquired quarterback Kirk Cousins to try to revive their sputtering offense. They beat the NFL trade deadline by sending their 2027 third-round draft pick to the Las Vegas Raiders. The deal created an opening for rookie Fernando Mendoza to take over with the Raiders and a spark for a Vikings team that started 6-0 but has been stuck in a quarterback quandary. The 38-year-old Cousins helped the Vikings win 13 games in 2022. His last game with the team came in October 2023, when he tore his Achilles tendon at Green Bay.
