Netanyahu rival Eisenkot seeks 'wide' government but path to power uncertain

JERUSALEM — Former Israeli military chief Gadi Eisenkot said on Sunday he will work to form a wide government as quickly as possible, but his path to power was uncertain following a deadlocked election that failed to dislodge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Saturday gave Eisenkot the first opportunity to try to form a new government after the October 27 election left both Eisenkot and Netanyahu short of the majority needed to govern. Herzog officially handed Eisenkot the task on Sunday at a meeting at the president's residence, starting the clock on what Eisenkot said would be an "extraordinarily complex" process. "We are in a state of emergency, approaching a point of no return for the State of Israel," Eisenkot said. "We must form a national emergency government. This will require creative and unconventional political steps." Eisenkot said Israeli democracy was at a vulnerable moment at a time when it faced immense challenges, with Herzog citing a threat of attack from Iran, the need to progress towards peace in Gaza and negotiations with Lebanon

Rubio says progress made on 'security infrastructure' after Ukraine war

WASHINGTON — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday that some progress has been made on what the "security infrastructure" of Ukraine and Europe could look like after the war with Russia, adding that talks this week could lead to further advances. Rubio's comments, ahead of his travel to Paris for talks with G7 foreign ministers, come as Russia-Ukraine negotiations under U.S. mediation have been set for Tuesday and Wednesday in Abu Dhabi. The need for security guarantees is an issue that has come up repeatedly in talks about ending the conflict, Rubio told reporters, referring to the war that broke out after Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. A key issue is, he said, "What is the postwar security infrastructure of Ukraine and more broadly of the European continent going to look like?" "I think that's what the president's alluding to — is that there's been some advances made in what that architecture could look like post-conflict," he added. U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday predicted a "very big" deal with Moscow involving not only Ukraine but "all of Europe," in remark

Nvidia probes whether CEO Huang was target of foreign spying as he admits affair

Nvidia probes whether CEO Huang was target of foreign spying as he admits affair

Nvidia said on Sunday it is probing whether CEO Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort, after a media report alleged he had a close relationship with a Chinese businesswoman who passed information to Beijing. Huang said in a message to employees that he had been unfaithful to his wife and took "full responsibility" for his actions, while Nvidia said the CEO was committed to continuing to lead the company without interruption. The developments are likely to pressure the chipmaker's stock, which has already seen sharp declines recently amid worries about AI sustainability, and may also raise questions about Huang's future at the helm of the company he co-founded. The New York Times reported last month that Huang had a relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive of Singapore-based company Megaspeed, whom U.S. authorities investigated and concluded was a Chinese intelligence asset. U.S. authorities have scrutinized Megaspeed, which buys AI chips from Nvidia, over suspicions it helped Beijing gain access to advanced AI chips that are barred from shipment to Ch

Trump says resumption of war with Iran 'highly unlikely'

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday cast doubt on renewed fighting with Iran, telling CNN that it was "highly unlikely" so long as talks progressed. In recent weeks, Trump has threatened to renew strikes with U.S. media reports suggesting that hostilities could resume after the U.S. midterm elections this week. "The answer is highly unlikely it's going to be necessary... I would if necessary, but we hit them really hard. I hit them so hard. You don't know how hard I hit them," Trump said, while warning that any decision to resume hostilities "depends on whether or not they sign a very strong agreement." Trump previously acknowledged that the highly unpopular war with Iran was at least partially responsible for the stinging defeat that his Republican Party suffered in Tuesday's vote. In the CNN interview Sunday, Trump once again suggested that the economic pressure Iran is under will force its leaders into accepting a peace deal on the United States' terms. "They're a failing nation. It just came out, you saw this year, 301 percent inflation," Trump claimed. "They're withe

Fire in China apartment building kills 14: state media

BEIJING — A fire that broke out in an apartment building in northern China killed at least 14 people, state media said Monday, raising the death toll from the previous night. Deadly fires are relatively common in China due to lax building codes and an often slipshod approach to workplace safety. The blaze occurred in a building in Shanxi province's Taiyuan city around 5:00 pm (0900 GMT) on Sunday, the official Xinhua news agency said that evening. "A total of 38 people were sent to hospitals for treatment, among whom five have died," Xinhua reported, raising the death toll to 14 on Monday morning. The flames were extinguished on Sunday, with search and rescue efforts completed, it said. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. China launched a campaign against fire hazards in high-rise buildings last November, after a huge blaze engulfed several tower blocks in Hong Kong, killing 168 people. A month later, a fire at a residential building in southern China's Guangdong province killed 12 people. And in July, a fire that engulfed a shoe factory in eastern China killed at least 28

What we know about Nvidia's probe into CEO Jensen Huang

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces a board probe into whether he was the target of a foreign intelligence effort after a media report linked him to a Chinese businesswoman accused of passing information to Beijing. The New York Times reported last month that Huang had a relationship with Alice Huang, an unrelated former executive of Singapore-based company Megaspeed, who US authorities investigated and concluded was a Chinese intelligence asset. Here is what is known about Huang's background and his pivotal role at chipmaker Nvidia as well as the US scrutiny of Megaspeed and Alice Huang. Who is Jensen Huang? Huang, 63, co-founded Nvidia in 1993 with Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem and has led the company ever since, making him one of Silicon Valley's longest-serving founder CEOs. Born in Taiwan and raised in the US, Huang became one of the most powerful figures in the AI revolution as he transformed Nvidia from a maker of video-game graphics chips into the world's dominant supplier of AI processors. His trademark leather jackets and high-profile product launches have made him one of the few

Tears and joy as Ukrainian couple divided by occupation meet again

KYIV — Larysa Ryndova hurried to see her husband as if they were going out on a first date — makeup on and perfume spritzed in the car. It was the first time she had laid eyes on 68-year-old Serhiy in 4-1/2 years — time he had spent trapped with others in the Russian-held town of Oleshky in southern Ukraine. "I can't believe you are here," Larysa, 72, kept repeating, her mascara smudged with tears after they embraced outside a hospital in Kyiv. "Honestly, I can't believe it myself," Serhiy replied. They last saw each other in 2022 when Larysa fled to England to live with their son, three months into the occupation following Russia's all-out invasion of Ukraine. Serhiy stayed to look after the family home, ending up stuck in the town peppered with Russian-laid landmines and facing a mounting humanitarian crisis. "We hoped for better. Turned out, it got 'better'," he said sarcastically. Oleshky's residents described living through constant drone attacks and without power and heating. Things got even worse this spring, when food deliveries stopped. Serhiy got out on October 30 with hundr

Trump says his deportation policy 'might have been too tough' for voters in the election

President Donald Trump in his first major interview since his party lost control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections said he thinks his administration was too aggressive on deportations and that he thinks he can work with Democrats in the new Congress on some kind of immigration deal. Trump said his deportation policy was part of the reason Republicans lost, telling CBS’s “60 Minutes” in an interview that aired on Sunday: “I think it might be too tough, yeah.” He added that he thinks he could reach an agreement with the new Democratic majority. “The deal would be we would work something out. And I think it’s something -- I think that’s something that’s actually doable,” he said in the interview. Trump did not give specifics about what that deal would look like — and shortly after taping the interview on Friday, Trump named the key architect of his hard-line immigration agenda, Stephen Miller, as his new chief of staff. “Trump says his immigration crackdown went too far,” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer scoffed on social media Sunday after the

Krakow mass shooting assailant died in hospital, Polish police say

WARSAW — A young gunman who killed six people in central Krakow on Saturday in Poland's unprecedented mass shooting has died in hospital, police said early on Monday. Very little information has come out about the shooter, who was shot by police officers and arrested minutes after he opened fire at people at Krakow's historic main square from his car. The government said the assailant, a 24-year-old from Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, a town of just under 60,000 in southeastern Poland, may have been inspired by far-right ideology, without providing further details. "There were many different emblems on the perpetrator’s clothing that have been partially examined and interpreted," Karolina Galecka, an interior ministry spokeswoman, told radio TOK FM on Monday. "These patches were associated with various motifs that are currently being analyzed by specialists," she added, declining to comment further as the investigation is ongoing.
