Death toll rises to 8 in Brooklyn building collapse as rescuers search for survivors
SUMMARY: At least eight people have died after a three-story building in Brooklyn collapsed at the edge of a construction site. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the death toll Thursday morning as firefighters continued to dig through the rubble in the search for others. The building, adjacent to a construction site, collapsed on Wednesday afternoon. Rescuers worked overnight, using dogs to sniff for survivors. The cause of the collapse is under investigation. The three-story building was a mixed-use structure with apartments above commercial space. Mamdani says at least 17 people have been injured, including three firefighters.

Bond denied for South Carolina man accused of burying his 11-month-old son alive
SUMMARY: The father of an 11-month-old boy who survived being buried alive in a dog crate for a day has been charged with attempted murder in South Carolina. Twenty-five-year-old Michael Comer was denied bond on Thursday morning. Authorities say Comer's son, Koah, was found by rescuers after about 24 hours and is expected to recover. The sheriff said Koah likely survived due to cool temperatures and an air pocket created by a towel. Comer has been in custody since Monday, when Koah was reported missing. In addition to attempted murder, Comer faces charges of burglary and unlawfully placing a child at risk.

Oklahoma man is put to death over a 2001 killing, the first in a pair of US executions
SUMMARY: A 73-year-old Oklahoma man has been put to death, the first of a pair of executions in the United States scheduled for Thursday. James Pavatt received a lethal injection at the state penitentiary in McAlester. He was convicted in the fatal shooting of his girlfriend’s estranged husband in 2001. Later Thursday in Texas, 46-year-old John Allen Rubio is set to be put to death for the stabbing and beheading of three young children he was raising in 2003. The death penalty in the U.S. has been under renewed attention, and last week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced he would commute hundreds of death sentences before leaving office.

Trump administration plans to make it harder to get grocery assistance
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump's administration is planning to make it harder to get food aid through the federal government's big grocery assistance program. It says the proposed rule would close a loophole by no longer allowing some people who receive benefits from the Temporary Assistance for Needed Families program to automatically be eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program too. The administration estimates that 6.3 million people could lose eligibility for SNAP. The proposal comes at a time when the number of people receiving the aid has fallen sharply — and on the heels on sweeping election gains for Democrats across the country.

Judge allows Trump defamation case against BBC to proceed but tosses 1 claim
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation case against the BBC remains on track for now. A federal judge in Florida ruled Tuesday that Trump’s defamation claim could proceed, though the judge didn't rule on its merits. The BBC had sought to dismiss the case. The judge dismissed part of the case related to Florida's unfair business practices law. Trump's lawsuit filed in December accuses the publicly funded British broadcaster of defamation over the documentary “Trump: A Second Chance.” The BBC has apologized for its editing but denies it defamed Trump. A different judge has ordered Trump to sit for a deposition by Dec. 11.

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.

Usually private, Melania Trump steps into the spotlight after the midterm election
SUMMARY: Melania Trump is one of the most private women to hold the role of first lady. But she has commanded the spotlight since the Republican Party’s devastating losses in the midterm elections. She brought Russian and Ukrainian officials together at the White House to talk about a temporary ceasefire she brokered in the Ukrainian city of Oleshky. She flew to Louisiana to announce that more than $7 million has been raised to fund scholarships for students formerly in foster care. On Thursday, she addresses U.S. soldiers in Alabama. Her burst of activity comes before the worldwide release of a new streaming series about her life as first lady.

Senators probing RFK Jr.'s testimony on Samoa trip after AP and Guardian showed documents refute it
SUMMARY: Two Democratic senators are launching an investigation into whether Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lied to Congress about his reason for a 2019 trip to Samoa. The investigation comes after The Associated Press and The Guardian published documents in August refuting Kennedy's testimony. The new inquiry is one of a vast array of investigations planned into the Trump administration after Democrats regained control of the House and Senate from Republicans in the midterm elections. The same senators, Ron Wyden of Oregon and Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland, are investigating hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gifts reportedly given last year to Kennedy by a donor and former employee.

Democrats flock to Denver for a post-midterms introspection-turned-celebration
SUMMARY: Prominent national Democrats are heading to Denver for a big meeting fresh off a historic showing in the midterm elections. The What's Next conference was put on the calendar months before last week's big national blowout for the party. It was supposed to be a major event for the new party group that calls itself Majority Democrats. The organization bills itself as a way of getting out of the party's perennial left-center battles. Those may still show up in Denver as Democrats try to chart a new course after their landslide wins. But there's likely to also be a lot of celebration.

Alaska judge rules a request by Peltola campaign for ballot data in Senate race is 'not reasonable'
SUMMARY: An Alaska judge has ruled that a request by Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola’s campaign for a list of absentee voters whose ballots have been rejected is “not reasonable." Superior Court Judge Thomas Matthews cited in part the tight timeline elections officials face as they continue processing and counting ballots. Attorneys for Peltola’s campaign had sued state elections officials, seeking a list of absentee voters whose ballots have been rejected and the reasons for the rejections. They said their intent was to ensure that all qualified voters have their ballots counted. But attorneys for the state said the information requested would violate voter privacy.

Mississippi elects Democrat Scott Colom as state's first Black US senator since Reconstruction
SUMMARY: Mississippi has elected its first Black U.S. senator since post-Civil War Reconstruction and delivered Democrats a major upset in a rocky midterm election for the GOP. Scott Colom defeated Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in the Deep South state that has been controlled mostly by white conservatives for generations. Colom noted Mississippi's civil rights history in his Wednesday night victory speech but pledged to represent all Mississippians. The Associated Press called the contest Wednesday evening. Hyde-Smith posted a concession video on social media. National and Mississippi Democrats are celebrating the win as a seismic shift in the state and region. Colom capitalized on the state’s large Black population, discontent with the economy and Hyde-Smith’s mistakes.

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 will 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.”

Trump says the towering arch he wants to build might be dedicated to military veterans
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump has observed Veterans Day by suggesting that the towering arch he wants to build in his own honor might also be dedicated to veterans and the U.S. military. That's despite three veterans having joined a lawsuit to stop the project, which a federal court has temporarily blocked. Some military groups support the arch, but many oppose it. Trump says the 250-foot arch, inspired by Paris' Arc de Triomphe, has been desired for centuries, though this isn't true. Despite legal and legislative hurdles, the White House continues to promote the project. The arch's plans include storing munitions and launching drones, adding to the controversy.

Bessent moves to a military base over safety concerns, an AP source says
SUMMARY: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has been forced to relocate to a military base over concerns for his safety. The move comes as Bessent has spent the last several months executing a massive economic campaign against Iran aimed at severing all of Tehran’s remaining financial ties around the world. A person familiar with the matter said Wednesday that Bessent's relocation was partly due to media reports that helped identify his home address. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive details. Other top Trump administration officials live on military bases. Recent U.S. intelligence shows Iran has stepped up efforts to target American personnel in the Middle East and elsewhere.

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.

US envoys meet with Putin in Moscow on Ukraine talks, then head for Dublin to see Zelenskyy
SUMMARY: U.S. envoys have met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin and then headed to Ireland to talk with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as Washington seeks new momentum in peace efforts. Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner brokered talks this week between delegations from Moscow and Kyiv. The meeting in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, brought the first direct discussions between Ukrainian and Russian representatives in nine months as the push for a settlement stalled. Although no major breakthroughs occurred, they agreed on a large prisoner swap. The U.S. and Zelenskyy want Europe involved in negotiations, but Russia opposes this. In Ukraine, meanwhile, fighting continues along the front line between forces from Kyiv and Moscow.

The health ministry reported on Wednesday 11,042 infections and 5,387 deaths, making it Congo's deadliest outbreak.

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.

Wall Street erases its early loss after absorbing big swings for Nvidia's stock and oil prices
SUMMARY: The U.S. stock market has erased its early losses after absorbing big swings for Nvidia’s stock and oil prices. Thursday's moves suggest Wall Street sees limited fallout for the AI industry following the sudden fall for one of its biggest evangelists. After dropping nearly 1% at the start of trading, the S&P 500 quickly erased all of the loss and turned 0.1% higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 129 points, and the Nasdaq composite was virtually flat. Nvidia’s stock initially plunged 14% following the resignation of its CEO, Jensen Huang. But it quickly halved its loss, while other AI chip stocks rose.

New guideline urges routine prostate cancer screening for middle-aged men
SUMMARY: The American Cancer Society is recommending routine prostate cancer screening for more middle-aged men, in a major change to its guidelines. That means a blood test for what's called PSA, or prostate-specific antigen. The new guideline says men at average risk of getting prostate cancer should get a PSA test every two years between the ages of 50 and 69. It says men at high risk, including Black men and those with a strong family history of prostate cancer, should get yearly PSA checks and start earlier at age 45. An abnormal PSA doesn't mean that a man has prostate cancer, but may require further testing.

Astros bring back former catcher Brad Ausmus as their manager after Joe Espada exit
SUMMARY: Brad Ausmus was named manager of the Houston Astros on Wednesday. New general manager Randy Flores made the announcement, which brings Ausmus back to the place where he spent 10 years of his playing career.
