Kerry Kennedy, daughter of Ethel Kennedy, announced the death of her mother in a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter.
"It is with heavy hearts full of love that we announce the passing of our mother, Ethel Kennedy," Kerry Kennedy said. "Along with a lifetime's work in social justice and human rights, our mother leaves behind nine children, 34 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren."
One minute, Haya Shabaka was brewing tea in her sister Abeer’s Gaza City home. The next, she and her relatives were plunged into darkness, said Abeer Shabaka, who was in the other room when an Israeli strike hit their building on Dec. 6.
“I felt that we were all underground,” Abeer recounted. “I heard my mother scream, but I did not know where she was. I saw Haya. She looked like she was asleep.”
Abeer said she screamed and screamed until help came, and was eventually pulled from the rubble. Her mother and sister are still buried underneath.
“I wish I had been killed with them,” Abeer said. The Israeli military said it was targeting a gathering of militants.
Without their bodies, or confirmation of their deaths, their family was unable to register them with Gaza’s Ministry of Health.
They remain uncounted.
The Tuesday night strike targeted an arsenal in Russia’s Bryansk border region where missiles and artillery munitions were stored, including some that had been delivered by North Korea, a Ukrainian General Staff statement said.
Hugely powerful glide bombs that have terrorized civilian areas of Ukraine and bludgeoned Ukrainian army defenses were also kept at the arsenal, located 115 kilometers (70 miles) from the Ukrainian border, and some of the ammunition was stored in the open, it said.
Covid-19 could be a powerful risk factor for heart attacks and strokes for as long as three years after an infection, a large new study suggests.
The study was published Wednesday in the medical journal Atherosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology. It relied on medical records from roughly a quarter of a million people who were enrolled in a large database called the UK Biobank.
Within this dataset, researchers identified more than 11,000 people who had a positive lab test for Covid-19 documented in their medical records in 2020; nearly 3,000 of them had been hospitalized for their infections. They compared these groups with more than 222,000 others in the same database who didn’t have a history of Covid-19 over the same time frame.
Journalists around the world expressed outrage Monday over the Israeli military's killing of a teenage Palestinian reporter who continued showing the world the destruction of Gaza despite threats to his life—and at the Western media's silence on the story.
Hassan Hamad, 19, whose work appeared on Al Jazeera and other outlets, was killed Sunday in an Israeli drone strike on his home in the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza, The Palestine Chroniclereported. The bombing followed multiple text messages warning Hamad to stop recording images of Israel's assault on Gaza, which has killed or injured nearly 150,000 Palestinians and for which the close U.S. ally is on trial for genocide at the International Court of Justice.
Palestinian journalist Maha Hussaini posted a photo of one threatening WhatsApp message sent to Hamad. It read, "Listen, if you continue spreading lies about Israel, we'll come for you next and turn your family into... This is your last warning."
Hussaini said that Hamad also received "several calls from an Israeli officer ordering him to stop filming in Gaza."
"He didn't comply," she wrote. "He was killed today."
Honda Motor Co. is recalling close to 1.7 million vehicles due to a manufacturing issue that could make it difficult to steer the vehicles and lead to crashes.
Honda reported the recall last week to government regulators, who issued the recall order on Tuesday.
The safety recall order from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that the steering gearbox assembly may have been manufactured incorrectly, potentially causing “excessive internal friction” that could make the vehicle difficult to steer and increase the likelihood of a crash.
The vehicles covered in the recall were from model years 2022 to 2025 and include certain Acura Integras, Honda Civics, Honda CR-Vs and Honda HR-Vs.
Brown University has refused pro-Palestinian student demands to divest from companies doing business with Israel.
The university’s highest governing body, the Corporation of Brown University, says divesting “would signal that there are ‘approved’ points of views to which members of the community are expected to conform,” which would be “wholly inconsistent with the principles of academic freedom and free inquiry and would undermine our mission.”
In a letter announcing the decision, Brown President Christina Paxson and Chancellor Brian Moynihan, who also heads the Corporation, added that “Brown’s mission doesn’t encompass resolving or adjudicating global conflict.”
TVNL Comment: But Brown's mission is to support genocide. How ugly is that?
The Florida health department has fired off cease-and-desist letters to local news stations over an advertisement urging people to vote in favor of a ballot measure that would expand abortion rights in the state.
In the ad, a woman identified as Caroline from Tampa, Florida, talks about being diagnosed with brain cancer while pregnant. The state currently bans abortion past roughly six weeks of pregnancy.
“The doctors knew if I did not end my pregnancy, I would lose my baby, I would lose my life, and my daughter would lose her mom,” she says. “Florida has now banned abortion even in cases like mine.”
TVNL Comment: Ads urging voters to support an issue are illegaal? Another insanity.
South Florida has seen close to 100 tornado warnings Wednesday, the National Weather Service’s (NWS) Miami forecast office said, as Hurricane Milton makes landfall in the Sunshine State.
NWS Miami said in a post on the social platform X that “98 Tornado Warnings” were “issued today by NWS Tampa Bay, NWS Melbourne, and NWS Miami” by 6 p.m. Wednesday. The forecast office also said that there had been a “preliminary” minimum of “9 Confirmed Tornadoes today in our NWS Miami area.”
The tornadoes came prior to the landfall of Milton, which President Biden said Tuesday could be the worst storm to hit Florida in more than 100 years.
