Thanksgiving air traffic could 'slow to a trickle' if shutdown persists, transport secretary says
SUMMARY: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warns that U.S. air traffic could slow significantly if the federal government shutdown continues into the Thanksgiving travel season. The Federal Aviation Administration has already ordered flight cuts at major airports. Some air traffic controllers, who have gone unpaid for nearly a month, have stopped working. Reductions began Friday at 4% and could reach 10% by November 14. On Sunday, 1,375 flights were canceled. Duffy suggests further cuts might be needed, possibly up to 20%. He emphasizes the need for action to keep people safe amid an overtaxed system.

Infant botulism in 10 US states linked to formula being recalled
SUMMARY: Federal and state health officials are investigating 13 cases in 10 U.S. states of infant botulism linked to baby formula that is being recalled. The Food and Drug Administration says ByHeart Inc. agreed to begin recalling two lots of the company’s Whole Nutrition Infant Formula. All 13 infants were hospitalized after consuming formula from the two lots. No deaths were reported. The formula is sold online and through major retailers. Infant botulism is caused by a bacterium that produces toxins in the large intestine. The cases occurred in Arizona, California, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas and Washington.

US airlines cancel more than 2,500 weekend flights largely due to government shutdown
SUMMARY: U.S. airlines have canceled more than 2,500 weekend flights mostly because of the government shutdown and the Federal Aviation Administration’s order to reduce air traffic. The slowdown at 40 of the nation’s busiest airports will head into its third day Sunday. So far there have not been any widespread disruptions. FlightAware reports that cancellations jumped Saturday to more than 1,500, following just over 1,000 the previous day. By Saturday evening airlines already had canceled another 1,000-plus Sunday flights.

SNAP food aid gets to people in some states while others remain in limbo amid court battles
SUMMARY: People in some U.S. states have started receiving their November SNAP benefits after delays caused by a legal battle over the government shutdown. But people in other states are still waiting. Some states acted quickly to issue full monthly SNAP benefits Friday, a day after a court ordered the Trump administration to make the funds available. On Friday night, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily paused that judicial order to allow time for an appeals court to decide on a more lasting halt. Some states had not moved quickly, because they were waiting for more guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

FAA grounds MD-11 planes following deadly Kentucky crash
SUMMARY: U.S. aviation officials are ordering McDonnell Douglas MD-11 planes not be flown until they can be inspected. That's after a deadly crash at a UPS global aviation hub in Kentucky killed 14 people Tuesday. UPS and FedEx said Friday that they were grounding their MD-11 planes “out of an abundance of caution.” The Federal Aviation Administration followed with a directive Saturday to ground the planes until inspection and correction of any problems. In the Louisville crash, the jet's left engine detached during takeoff. Those killed included the three pilots of the MD-11, which was bound for Honolulu.

Government shutdown reaches its 40th day as senators work through a crucial weekend
SUMMARY: The government shutdown has stretched into its 40th day. Senators are holding a weekend session in hopes of finding an end to the impasse. The shutdown has das disrupted flights nationwide, threatened food assistance for millions of Americans and left federal workers without pay. The Senate has shown few signs of progress over a weekend that could be crucial for the shutdown fight. Republican leaders are hoping to hold votes on bills that would reopen the government into January while also approving full-year funding for several parts of government. But the necessary Democratic support for that effort is far from guaranteed.

Democrats seize on Trump administration's efforts to fight food stamp payments
SUMMARY: The Trump administration’s legal efforts to fight having to fully fund food stamps for millions of vulnerable Americans is creating an opening for Democrats eager to use the longest government shutdown in U.S. history to paint the president as callous and out of touch. The Supreme Court late Friday granted the administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order requiring them to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the shutdown. The legal maneuvering comes as both parties have tried to gain the political upper hand and blame the other for the shutdown as its impact is increasingly felt across the nation.

Washington's struggling economy takes another hit from the government shutdown
SUMMARY: Washington's local economy has taken blows from a series of actions by the Trump administration, from the layoffs of federal workers to the ongoing law enforcement intervention with the National Guard. Now there's the added fallout from the government shutdown, which has furloughed workers and paused money for food assistance. Experts say the shutdown’s long-term impact on the regional economy will be felt long after the government reopens. The Capital Area Food Bank is providing 8 million more meals than it had prepared to this budget year. That's a nearly 20% increase.

Hamas hands over remains Israel believes are of soldier Hadar Goldin, held since 2014
SUMMARY: Israel has received the remains of a hostage in Gaza that Hamas says are of an Israeli soldier who was killed in 2014. Hadar Goldin's remains had been the only ones left in Gaza that predated the current war between Israel and Hamas. Hamas said it found the remains in a tunnel in the southernmost city of Rafah on Saturday. Goldin was killed two hours after a ceasefire took effect in the 2014 war between Israel and Hamas. The return of his remains on Sunday would be a significant development in the U.S.-brokered ceasefire that took effect a month ago.

King Charles III leads Britain's Remembrance Sunday ceremony for war dead
SUMMARY: King Charles III has led Britain’s annual ceremony of remembrance for war dead in London. Thousands of military personnel, veterans and members of the public gathered for the somber ceremony at the Cenotaph war memorial. As Big Ben tolled 11 a.m., the crowd observed two minutes of silence, followed by a single artillery blast and buglers sounding “The Last Post.” The king laid a wreath of red poppies on the simple stone monument, erected after World War I. The ceremony is held every year on the nearest Sunday to the anniversary of the end of World War I. Similar services occur across Britain and at U.K. military bases overseas.

Residents turn to community patrols as illegal gold mining grows in Ghana
SUMMARY: Illegal gold mining is growing in Ghana, one of the world's top gold producers. A weakening economy and high unemployment have pushed thousands of youth into illegal mining to chase elusive wealth. The government and environmental groups say the mining is contaminating rivers and other bodies. The country's president has even been under pressure to declare a state of emergency. In one community, a new task force of residents now patrols their forested region in search of illegal mining. They even carry out arrests. But their lack of supervision by security forces has raised concerns about potential abuse of power.

US government shutdown forces some overseas bases to stop paying workers
SUMMARY: Local workers at some American military bases in Europe are feeling the impact of the U.S. government shutdown. Unions representing foreign nationals working at the bases say many have not received their salaries since the shutdown in Washington began last month. Labor unions in Italy and Portugal say hundreds of workers have gone unpaid as the shutdown stretches approaches its sixth week. In Italy, about 2,000 workers at U.S. bases weren't paid in October. In Portugal, a similar situation is occurring at the Lajes Field base, where roughly 360 Portuguese workers had not been paid. Meanwhile, Germany is covering the salaries of nearly 11,000 local employees at U.S. bases there.

Paz unexpectedly defeated former President Jorge “Tuto” Quiroga in the presidential runoff last month. He inherits an economy in crisis after two decades of rule by the Movement Toward Socialism party. Paz plans gradual reforms and has distanced Bolivia from the ALBA bloc, moving closer to the United States.

Flight cuts from government shutdown strain a supply chain that's already stretched thin
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration has announced a 10% reduction in flight capacity across 40 major U.S. airports. This could strain air cargo as the holiday season approaches. FedEx and UPS have major hubs at affected airports, including Indianapolis, Memphis, and Louisville. The reduction impacts domestic flights, not global ones. Shipping companies like FedEx are adjusting plans to ensure shipments continue smoothly. Smaller, high-value goods are more likely to be transported by air. Experts say the supply chain could slow, but airlines have become adept at managing such disruptions. The impact should be manageable unless reductions deepen.

SUMMARY: Scientist James Watson, who shared a Nobel prize for helping discover the double-helix shape of the DNA molecule, has died. He was 97. His death was announced by his former research lab. Watson also helped guide efforts to map the human genome. But he was widely condemned for racist remarks later on and left his job as chancellor of the prestigious Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York. Watson shared a 1962 Nobel Prize with collaborator Francis Crick and scientist Maurice Wilkins for discovering in 1953 that DNA was shaped like a long, gently twisting ladder. Knowing the structure of DNA was key to figuring out how the genetic material works.

Landmark Paris Agreement set a path to slow warming. The world hasn't stayed on it
SUMMARY: The world has seen faster climate change than expected since the Paris Agreement a decade ago. Scientists say Earth's warming has outpaced efforts to reduce fossil fuel pollution that came out of the 2015 accord. This issue will be a focus of this week's UN climate talks in Brazil. There has been some progress like cheaper renewable energy and increased electric vehicle sales. But warming's harms have overwhelmed those gains. Extreme weather events such as major Atlantic hurricanes have increased since 2015. More than 7 trillion tons of ice have melted. The seas have risen by enough water to fill 30 lakes the size of Lake Erie.
