They are also trying to take possession, at the court’s direction, of Giuliani’s 26 luxury watches and a 1980 Mercedes-Benz he kept in Florida. The expensive furniture Giuliani had used in real estate photos of the property earlier this year was moved out four weeks ago, he said. Josh Ritchie/Bloomberg/Getty Images“We note that broadcasts, such as those described above, currently provide Mr. Giuliani’s only source of earned income,” Giuliani’s attorney, Kenneth Caruso, told the court. Moss and Freeman’s team have already complained to the judge about Giuliani using the car on Tuesday, submitting to the court the photos. Separately, Giuliani’s lawyers say the property that was in the Manhattan apartment is now in a storage facility on Long Island, but Freeman and Moss’ team say they are struggling to get access to the items there, too.

The Australian Republic Movement launched a "farewell Oz tour" for King Charles ahead of his visit. He seems to have put that on hold to come out to Australia, as part of the Commonwealth,” McArthur said.

CNN —A 70-year-old man was killed by a cow moose after he tried to take photos of the animal and its newborn calves near his home in southern Alaska on Sunday, authorities said. The man, Dale Chorman, was with a friend when the pair spotted a female moose and her two newborn calves in the city of Homer, the Alaska Department of Public Safety said. “Dale was with another adult male and they were attempting to take photos of two newborn moose calves when the cow moose attacked Dale,” agency spokesperson Austin McDaniel told CNN in an email Tuesday. While in the company of her calves, a female moose will not hesitate to attack should a person come near them, McDaniel said. “Cow moose with calves are known to be relentless in their efforts to defend their calves from perceived threats,” McDaniel said.

☆ Regional banks hurt by higher interest rates, saving for depositor defaults after Q3
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-24 | by ( Sergio Padilla | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

Following the bank closings, many other regional banks have had to pay higher interest rates on deposits in order to prevent customers from heading towards the exit. Comerica saw declines in both provisions and net interest income and a 28% decline in net income compared to last year. Zions Bancorp had a dramatic decline as well, seeing yearly declines in net interest income and provisions. Going forward, if demand for loans dries up, that gets rid of a key source of income for regional banks. The SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF, a benchmark for judging the performance of shares of regional banks, was down 2.9% over five days as of midday trading on Friday.

Therefore, experts say, hiring Black teachers is necessary to address the racial disparities that lead to poor educational outcomes and criminalization for Black children. Furthermore, advocates say that Black students who don’t have Black teachers are less likely to become teachers themselves, so commitments to diversifying the industry must start early on in the classroom. The Black Teacher Project in Oakland, California, works with Black teachers to “reimagine schools as communities of liberated learning,” the Project’s website reads. It also teaches educators how to implement restorative practices in their classrooms and invites them to retreats to foster community among Black teachers. “Therefore, the Black Teacher Project’s motto is ‘Every child deserves a Black teacher.’”

CNN —New ads promoting the Covid-19 vaccines are making their debut this week, targeting specific communities that have had a slow uptake of the updated shots. “These ads also reflect our commitment to equity in our COVID response and the need to redouble efforts to reach Black and Hispanic communities about the benefits of the updated vaccines,” she said. We now have updated COVID-19 vaccines to protect you against the Omicron strain.”The new ads, first reported on CNN, will run in 15 US markets, according to HHS. The ads, with a special focus on communities that have historically been underserved, are part of the Biden administration’s effort to encourage people to get their updated vaccine ahead of winter.

☆ Rising Covid-19 cases in the UK may be a warning for the US

CNN —There are signs that the United Kingdom could be heading into a fall Covid-19 wave, and experts say the United States may not be far behind. A recent increase in Covid-19 cases in England doesn’t seem to be driven by a new coronavirus variant, at least for now, although several are gaining strength in the US and across the pond. Spector runs the Zoe Health Study, which uses an app to let people in the UK and US report their daily symptoms. After seeing a downward trend for the past few weeks, the Zoe study saw a 30% increase in reported Covid-19 cases within the past week. In the US, some models have predicted that Covid-19 cases will begin to rise again in October and continue to increase into the winter.

☆ ‘Crooked’ Review: How Teapot Dome Boiled Over

On Aug. 2, 1923, President Warren G. Harding died unexpectedly, saving him from the consequences of the unfolding Teapot Dome Scandal, which was swallowing his administration. Teapot Dome, which involved illegally obtained oil leases in Montana and widespread corruption in the Interior Department and the Veterans Bureau, is considered one of the biggest scandals in presidential history. Yet it was just one small part of a complex web of bribery, intimidation and blackmail that surrounded Harding’s attorney general, Harry Daugherty. Mr. Masters, a journalist and TV host, begins his story in September 1922, describing how Daugherty dealt with a railway strike prompted by wage cuts. “With only half the nation’s trains running, the American economy had ground to a halt,” Mr. Masters writes.
