U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Chris Magnus told Bloomberg News on Thursday that U.S. border agents had encountered just 155 Venezuelans on Wednesday, down from a daily average of 1,200 earlier this month. More than 4,500 Venezuelans have been returned to Mexico since the new U.S. expulsion policy began on Oct. 12, the Mexican government said, straining shelters there. The new effort comes as Republicans have criticized Biden's handling of the border and seek to gain control of the U.S. Congress in Nov. 8 midterm elections. At a shelter in the U.S. border city of Deming, New Mexico, Venezuelans went from being the most common nationality to absent, according to Ariana Saludares, executive director of Colores United, which runs the center. A spokesperson for Texas Governor Greg Abbott said the busing could continue until Biden "does his job."

Xi Jinping has silver linings for rest of world

LONDON, Oct 17 (Reuters Breakingviews) - A third term for Xi Jinping would risk a cold war, or even a hot one. Until recently, most analysts agreed it was only a matter of time before China’s economy, which was three-quarters the size of America’s in dollar terms last year, became the world’s largest.

But Beijing-based Dimitri De Boer, of the environmental organisation Client Earth, thinks that’s very unlikely because the target is binding and China’s president has positioned himself as an environmental champion. But Germany challenged Britain in World War I when its economy was still powering ahead, according to Allison.

World champion Magnus Carlsen on Monday broke his silence on the scandal that has shaken the chess world, explicitly accusing 19-year-old American grandmaster Hans Moke Niemann of cheating for the first time since their controversial meeting at the Sinquefield Cup this month. In a statement posted to his social media accounts, Carlsen cited Niemann’s unusual progress through the chess ranks and his surprisingly relaxed behavior when they played in St. Louis.
read more"So far I have only been able to speak with my actions, and those actions have stated clearly that I am not willing to play chess with Niemann," Carlsen said in a statement on Twitter. "When Niemann was invited last minute to the 2022 Sinquefield Cup, I strongly considered withdrawing prior to the event. I ultimately chose to play," Carlsen said. "I believe that Niemann has cheated more - and more recently - than he has publicly admitted," Carlsen said on Monday. "Chess organisers and all those who care about the sanctity of the game we love should seriously consider increasing security measures and methods of cheat detection for over-the-board chess," Carlsen added.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas also criticized Republican governors for sending migrants to other cities in an interview with José Díaz-Balart on MSNBC. Migrants line up after having arrived by bus in El Paso, Texas, on Tuesday. Magnus said that despite the releases and the busing of migrants to Northern cities, the Border Patrol is managing the influx. El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser said the city’s shelters are full, which is why he, like Republican governors, has begun busing migrants out of the city. Unlike Republican governors, Leeser is notifying cities that will be receiving migrants from El Paso.
World champion Magnus Carlsen has set the chess world on fire in recent weeks while barely saying a word. First, he abruptly quit a prestigious tournament in St. Louis after a defeat in early September. Then this week, he resigned from a game after making just one move. What both staggering incidents have in common was Carlsen’s opponent, a 19-year-old American grandmaster named Hans Moke Niemann.

Web3 chess startup Immortal Game has raised $15 million, including a $12 million Series A this year. Crypto has its fair share of skeptics, but there's no arguing against the worldwide popularity of chess, according to Thomas Zaepffel, the cofounder and CEO of Immortal Game. Immortal Game, founded in March 2021 by Zaepffel, CTO David Cingala and COO Geoffroy Mestrallet, offers players the opportunity to earn crypto and sponsor up-and-coming chess talent. But Immortal Game, like other Web3 startups, seeks to set itself apart on the premise that its users should reap rewards from the platforms they popularize. Here's a look at the pitch that helped Zaepffel and his cofounders seal the deal.
“The constitutional violations here are obvious and they are on video.”A Tucson, Ariz., police officer was fired after he fatally shot a man in a motorized wheelchair. KVOAThe suit also alleged wrongful death and accused the city of Tucson of violating the Americans with Disabilities Act. Remington followed Richards for several minutes, alerting a dispatcher who said an officer with a "less lethal" weapon was en route. As Richards approached an entrance to the Lowe's, Remington could be seen in body camera video telling Richards to stop. Storie has said Remington opened fire after he "perceived a threat" to a Lowe's employee.
Magnus Carlsen resigned after making just one move against an opponent at the center of an alleged cheating controversy. When American grandmaster Hans Moke Niemann began with two conventional pawn moves against world champion Magnus Carlsen in an online event on Monday, the top-ranked Norwegian responded with a stunning counter, one that isn’t in any chess book. Carlsen’s move was the latest explosion in a scandal that has rocked professional chess this month. Carlsen recently withdrew from an in-person event after losing to Niemann, with his only public comments coming in the form of a cryptic video of a European soccer manager. The chess world was quick to understand the implications of his unprecedented decision: Niemann faced widespread speculation that he is a cheater.
"Failing communist regimes in Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba are driving a new wave of migration," a US official said. In total, just under 158,000 people had encounters with southwest border officials in August. "Failing communist regimes in Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba are driving a new wave of migration across the Western Hemisphere, including the recent increase in encounters at the southwest US border," CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus said in a statement. More than 55,000 people from the three, ostensibly socialist regimes were encountered at the southwest border in August, per CBP. The fact that nearly half of all migrants encountered were from Nicaragua and South America, he said, represented a "staggering change."

The youth unemployment rate has repeatedly hit new highs this year , rising from 15.3% in March to a record 18.2% in April. In the past few months, mass layoffs have engulfed once booming Chinese industries ranging from private tutoring to real estate. Xi is seeking a historic third term when the Communist Party hold its congress next month. But youth unemployment will constitute a "major threat" to China's economic and political stability in the long run, he added. But the government seems unwilling to tackle the main reason behind China's economic slowdown this year — the zero Covid policy .
The naming of the species is the responsibility of WHO's International Committee on Taxonomy of VirusesScientists have been calling this virus "monkeypox" for 64 years. The current species known as "monkeypox virus" and the others would then be renamed to "orthopoxvirus 'something,' " he said in an email to CNN. Prior to more modern conventions about names, scientists would name a variant for the region where it emerged and was circulating. It cited "growing concern for the potentially devastating and stigmatizing effects that the messaging around the 'monkeypox' virus can have on these already vulnerable communities." "Stigma and discrimination can be as dangerous as any virus," Tedros said when he declared monkeypox a global health emergency in July.

Based on research and studies, here are seven things (yes, some are a little intense) that parents of exceptionally resilient and successful kids always do:1. Every child is born with more advanced skills in some areas over others. They are patient when their kids ask questionsParents of the most accomplished people always make learning new things a priority. Most parents choose the latter, but parents of exceptional kids choose the specialist approach. And the sooner they develop those advanced skills, the quicker they'll develop best-in-class skills.

În jur de 1.000 de persoane din Suedia au fost vaccinate cu doze de vaccin produs de Moderna care au fost păstrate la temperatura greșită în timpul transportării, anunță Reuters. În total, 2.100 de doze ale vaccinului, în jur de 20% din numărul primit de Suedia din partea Moderna, au fost păstrate la temperaturi prea scăzute. Toate persoanele cărora le-au fost administrate dozele păstrate necorespunzător sunt angajați sanitari, potrivit aceleiași surse. „Un lucru pe care trebuie să îl aflăm este dacă vaccinurile deja administrate vor funcționa”, a declarat Magnus Frisk, un purtător de cuvânt al Apoteket. Acesta a adăugat că Moderna a fost contactată pentru a oferii informații suplimentare despre efectele păstrării la o temperatură prea scăzută a dozelor și dacă persoanele deja vaccinate cu acestea vor avea nevoie de o nouă doză.

Rivalul său de la 1497, Sigismund I, devenit rege al Poloniei, l-a numit în 1531 „acel mare Ștefan” („Stephanus ille magnus”).
