Ukraine narrowly won the battle of Irpin in the war's earliest days. That's the conclusion of American and British experts who examined the fighting along the Irpin River northwest of Kyiv. "The Battle of Irpin River was a close-run thing," wrote Richard Sladden, Liam Collins and Alfred Connable in an article in British Army Review, a British military magazine. An attack in the east and south of Ukraine was the most likely course of action, therefore Ukrainian forces were primarily arrayed against this." Russian forces weren't prepared to rapidly deploy pontoon bridges to replace those across the Irpin River that Ukrainian troops had blown up.

Tim Walz of Minnesota are set to meet for the only scheduled vice-presidential debate on Tuesday, a face-off that could mark the final major moment of the campaign. Harris' national polling has ticked up since what was viewed as her convincing debate victory. This will be the first time either Brennan or O'Donnell have moderated a vice-presidential debate. Born into poverty, Vance attended the flagship school in his home state, Ohio State University, before obtaining a law degree from Yale. Walz has led a progressive rewrite of the state tax code over the objection of business interests in the state.

Harris, during her trip to the key swing state of Arizona, lambasted Trump for his role earlier this year in tanking a border security bill that was the product of months of bipartisan negotiations. “It was the strongest border security bill we have seen in decades. The Democratic offensive on immigration and border security is an attempt to cut into one of Trump’s clearest-cut political advantages. Another CNN poll conducted by SSRS released Friday found the two candidates tied in North Carolina at 48% each. And the CNN poll found the scandal-plagued Republican nominee for governor, Lt. Gov.

Austrian Chancellor and Head of the Austrian People's Party (OeVP) Karl Nehammer (L) and chairman and top candidate of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPOe) Herbert Kickl (R) meet during their pre-election tv debate hosted by Austrian state network ORF in Vienna, Austria on September 23, 2024. The leader of Austria's far-right Freedom Party (FPO), Herbert Kickl, pledged on Friday to win this weekend's parliamentary election in what would be a historic first, even as opinion polls show the race is now too close to call. Chancellor Karl Nehammer's conservative Austrian People's Party (OVP), however, has closed the gap to within the margin of error, as the OVP sought to present him as a statesman in contrast to the often abrasive and polarizing Kickl. "This time we will be number 1," he said, underscoring the fact that it would be the first time the party founded in the 1950s had won a parliamentary election. It secured its first national victory this year when it beat the OVP by less than a percentage point in June's European election.

Israel said on Saturday that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had been killed.

AdvertisementHe took over Hezbollah in 1992 after Israel assassinated the group's previous leader and cofounder Abbas al-Musawi. Nasrallah gained widespread popularity for overseeing the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000 and the so-called "divine victory" in the 2006 Lebanon War. The group's support from Sunni Muslims dropped due to its involvement in the fighting, per the CFR.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defiantly faced an international community from which he has become deeply isolated amid international condemnation of Israel's war in the Gaza Strip and the military's fresh escalations in Lebanon. As the General Assembly president called the room to order, groups of diplomats stood up and walked out of the room, leaving a sparse audience on the delegate floor. More than 40,000 people have been killed in Gaza in Israel's ensuing war with Hamas. Earlier this month, the General Assembly passed a historic, if symbolic, resolution with an overwhelming majority, demanding that Israel withdraw from the Palestinian territories within a year. The resolutions, like all General Assembly resolutions, are nonbinding and were resoundingly ignored by Israel.

Which Battleground State Voters Could Sway the Election? It says that in order for Democrats to win, Black voters must make up 30 percent of all voters and at least 30 percent of white voters must vote Democratic. Black voters, who cast nearly a third of the ballots in 2020, overwhelmingly favored Mr. Biden — by almost 90 percent. That’s because educational attainment divides mostly white voters, and many of Nevada’s less-educated voters are not white. Even so, that wasn’t enough for him to overcome the coalition of white voters with a college degree and voters of color who delivered Mr. Biden a victory.

“It’ll take him months on end to train for the job,” said Gadi Eisenkot, a highly respected former Israeli military chief and member of the opposition. Policy and domestic politics are impossible to separate in any democracy, but especially in Netanyahu’s Israel – and especially now. Remarkably, Netanyahu held a security consultation on Wednesday but did not invite his defense minister, an Israeli official told CNN. Hezbollah says that it’s attacking Israel in solidarity with the Palestinian people in Gaza; Israel wants to get Hezbollah to stop firing even without a Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal. With both the Philadelphi Corridor and Hezbollah, Netanyahu’s critics have questioned why, if they were so critical, he waited months to raise the stakes over those issues.

Washington CNN —Jury selection is set to begin Thursday in a closely watched defamation trial pitting voting technology company Smartmatic against the right-wing cable network Newsmax, in a high-stakes case over the airing of false 2020 election claims. The Newsmax case revolves around the same false claims, championed by former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies, that the 2020 election was rigged by Smartmatic software and others. The Florida-based company sued Newsmax and other right-wing outlets and figures in 2021, alleging that its reputation was destroyed by the lies. The Newsmax case will test the legal limits of publishing lies about the 2020 election, and the trial will play out during the final stretch of the 2024 campaign. ‘Dozens’ of defamatory reportsAfter mainstream news outlets – and even Fox News – projected that Democratic nominee Joe Biden would win the 2020 election, Trump and his surrogates falsely claimed that he won.
