President Biden and Vice President Harris will meet with national security officials in the White House Situation Room on Monday, as Iran reiterates its intention to punish Israel for the apparent assassination of top Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. Although Israel has not acknowledged the strike in Iran, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed to seek revenge against Israel after Haniyeh’s death. The call was arranged in a last-minute effort to urge Iran and Hezbollah to limit their attacks as much as possible to prevent an all-out war, Axios added. Haniyeh’s death followed an already tense week in the region, after Israel killed Fuad Shukr, the top military leader of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon’s capital of Beirut. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a Cabinet meeting Sunday that his nation is already in a “multifront war” with Iran and its proxies.

This week, Vice President Kamala Harris will officially become the Democratic Party’s nominee for president. But before she burst onto the national stage, Harris got her start here in the Bay Area. She was born in Oakland, raised in Berkeley, and worked as a prosecutor in Alameda County and in San Francisco, where she served as District Attorney from 2004 to 2010. So today, we’re revisiting this episode from January 2019 — back when Harris first ran for president — about how Bay Area politics shaped her.

All of us love the idea of the artist alone: in her studio, painting; at her desk, writing; in her atelier, draping. But the truth is that most art is more of a group effort than a solo endeavor. A dress might begin with a designer’s sketch, but making it real takes a staff of many — tailors, sewers, embellishers, the model upon whom it’s fit (and refit and refit). The majority will never be publicly credited or recognized, but the person to whom the work is attributed knows better: Making anything requires many hands. Our feature “Everyone Who Made This Happen” reveals just how many people it takes to create something.

After the hotel told her they were no longer accepting vouchers from 5pm - which was rebranded as Kooble in 2023 - Cheryl tried in vain to get an explanation. “I’ve contacted Kooble by e-mail, twice, and I’ve had no reply,” she said. “They’re just ignoring everything.”Although 5pm Ltd officially went into administration on August 2, Cheryl says she only heard about the collapse online.

Notice appeared on the Kooble website on August 2 saying that accountancy firm Johnston Carmichael had been appointed as administrators of 5pm Ltd.

Luton-based South Bedfordshire News Agency, better known as Fairley's, has closed down after its proprietor and final writer Tim Corkett retired. In more recent times Mr Corkett, reporter Ross Francis and photographer John O'Reilly have been at the helm. Mr Francis, 71, retired in 2021 and Mr O'Reilly, 72, followed earlier this year.

"Unfortunately there was just me and a secretary who have been keeping things going recently," said Mr Corkett, who joined Fairley's in 1983.

Pep Guardiola will have another eight Manchester City stars in training on Tuesday as the Blues prepare to face Manchester United. And the City manager will be delighted to welcome back seven stars from the Euros as well as new signing Savinho. They will all be joined on Tuesday by Guardiola and the squad who landed back from the United States on Sunday morning. That will leave just five members of the first team squad missing with three days before they head to London to face United. Alvarez will now have to decide whether he wants to stay at City this season amid strong interest from Atletico and, if not, bring an acceptable deal to the Blues.

Elon Musk's brain-implant company Neuralink has completed its second surgery on a human patient, with Musk saying in an interview it's 'working very well.' The last time we heard about the second human patient undergoing a Neuralink brain implant, the story was that they had to be canceled for the surgery due to the discovery of unforeseen medical issues. However, it appears Neuralink found the right applicant as Elon Musk has revealed during an interview the company has successfully implanted its second Brain-Computer-Interface (BCI) into a human patient. During the interview, Musk revealed the surgery with the second patient went "extremely well" and the implanted BCI is "working very well." Musk said Neuralink has detected 400 electrodes on the second patient's BCI, which are essentially the bridge between the device and the human brain's electrical signals.

Former England cricketer and coach Graham Thorpe, one of the finest Test batters of his generation, has died at the age of 55. Thorpe was a fluent left-handed batter – and right-handed bowler – who played precisely 100 Tests as well as 82 one-day internationals during a 12-year international career. He played a further 189 first-class matches for Surrey and scored 49 first-class centuries in total, averaging 45.04, before his retirement in 2005. At the end of his playing career he moved into coaching, starting in Australia, before joining England, initially as a batting coach in 2010.

"I don't see what could prevent him from achieving the double at the World Championships in Zurich on a course that suits him," Merckx told Dernière Heure/Les Sports. "If he's in the same shape as today, even Tadej Pogačar will have difficulty beating him. "On Saturday, Remco Evenepoel was stronger than me. When he came out of the Tour de France, I expected him to shine at these Olympic Games. Or, in a one-day race, does Remco have what it takes to dispatch cycling's biggest star and take the rainbow jersey in September?

As the legendary Arsenal forward stepped out at the Etihad for the first time in Manchester City colours, her excitement at this bold new chapter was palpable. "I found a new appreciation for football and I'm really excited to start here. "I knew there were going to be mixed reactions to me joining City," Miedema admitted on Sunday. Though it is unlikely the home fans will extend their best wishes when she returns to the Emirates as a City player on the opening weekend of the WSL season. I've spoken to multiple clubs in England and abroad, but when I started talking to City I got really excited.

The UK has cautioned its troops over risks posed by Russian spies using drones to monitor military bases, particularly those hosting training for Ukrainian troops as part of the British-led Operation Interflex. As reported by The Times, the UK’s Field Army Threat Handbook, published in October 2023, includes warnings against drones used by Russian intelligence to spy on Ukrainian troops taking part in training in the UK. “The training of the AFU [Armed Forces of Ukraine] remains of significant intelligence interest to Hostile Foreign Intelligence Services and the national press,” the handbook reads. Advertisement“RIS [Russian intelligence services] routinely employ a range of physical reconnaissance and technical capabilities… to collect on UK land activities, including the training of armed forces of Ukraine personnel. In July, Politico reported that drones of unknown origin were frequently spotted over the training areas used by Ukrainian recruits in Germany.

The prime minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, has resigned and left the country amid some of the worst violence since the birth of the south Asian country more than 50 years ago. The country's army chief, Waker-Uz-Zaman, announced he was assuming control at 'a critical time for our country' and would establish an interim government. Hasina, who has ruled Bangladesh since 2009, fled by helicopter shortly after protesters had stormed her residence in the capital, Dhaka. The protests began over a quota system that was said to disproportionately allocate government jobs to the descendants of freedom fighters from the 1971 independence war. The government’s harsh crackdown on the protests has led to hundreds of deaths, which continued despite the supreme court overturning the quota law.

Footage from a local broadcaster shows protesters looting the official residence of the prime minister in Bangladesh's capital after news that the incumbent, Sheikh Hasina, has resigned and fled the country. Some of the protesters could be seen carrying chairs from the Ganabhaban. Dozens of people have been killed in anti-government protests that have swept across Bangladesh in recent days. Mobile internet access was cut off in an attempt to quell the unrest. The country’s leading Bengali-language newspaper, Prothom Alo, said at least 95 people, including at least 14 police officers, had died in the violence.

The others are Caulfield/Melbourne Cup winner Without A Fight (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}), Cox Plate winner Romantic Warrior (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}), Mr Brightside (NZ) (Bullbars) and Imperatriz (I Am Invincible). “This partnership builds on the $850 million we have contributed to supporting and investing in WA racing over the past five years.
