CNBC Daily Open brings investors up to speed on everything they need to know, no matter where they are. The SPDR S&P 500 , an exchange-traded fund that tracks the broad-based index, traded around 22.6% fewer shares than its 30-day average. In fact, traders boosted their bets that the U.S. Federal Reserve will lower rates by 25 basis points at its December meeting.

CNN —At a Thanksgiving gathering three decades ago, I went cold turkey on eating meat. “To quote George Bernard Shaw,” I announced, “‘Animals are my friends, and I don’t eat my friends.’”No one else made a toast. And over the past three decades, vegetarian options on restaurant menus have grown alongside my palate. The world is getting more culinarily progressiveBefore I got married, my in-laws thought I was a little odd for not eating meat. “I eat very little meat,” I’ve heard thousands of times after I say I’m vegetarian.

The shoplifter knew the geography of the big gleaming Target store in TriBeCa as well as he knew his dingy little $20-a-week room uptown. He popped through the sliding front door, where a security guard stood posted. That was how long it would take for the police to respond to the 911 call the security guard would be making right now. The shoplifter, David Andino, clambered down that escalator, hurtling past shoppers heading up. Andino scooped what he could into a laundry bag, seeking out the brands he knew he could easily sell.

I was co-leader of Operation Warp Speed, which began in Mr. Trump’s first term to accelerate the development of Covid-19 vaccines. I worked on the purchase and rollout of hundreds of millions of vaccines and on developing antiviral treatments. Now I am back at my job teaching at the medical school at the University of California, San Francisco. I have been monitoring the spread of bird flu, also known as H5N1, and discussing the situation with colleagues around the country. In addition, a child in Alameda County in California with minor respiratory symptoms tested positive for H5N1 recently; it is unclear how the child became infected.

☆ Trump Is Running His Transition Team on Secret Money
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-24 | by ( Ken Bensinger | David A. Fahrenthold | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

President-elect Donald J. Trump is keeping secret the names of the donors who are funding his transition effort, a break from tradition that could make it impossible to see what interest groups, businesses or wealthy people are helping launch his second term. Mr. Trump has so far declined to sign an agreement with the Biden administration that imposes strict limits on that fund-raising in exchange for up to $7.2 million in federal funds earmarked for the transition. By dodging the agreement, Mr. Trump can raise unlimited amounts of money from unknown donors to pay for the staff, travel and office space involved in preparing to take over the government. Mr. Trump is the first president-elect to sidestep the restrictions, provoking alarm among ethics experts. And unlike with campaign contributions, foreign nationals are allowed to donate to the transition.

Hezbollah fired more than 60 projectiles into Israel before noon on Sunday, a day after an Israeli strike in the heart of the Lebanese capital killed at least 20 people. Three Israeli defense officials said the strike was an attempt to assassinate a top Hezbollah military commander, Mohammad Haidar. One of the Israeli defense officials, who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive military operations, later said that Mr. Haidar was not killed. On Sunday, waves of air raid sirens blared throughout much of northern Israel, including the hilltop town of Safed. Magen David Adom, an Israeli emergency rescue service, said it treated a woman in northern Israel who suffered a shrapnel injury.

TEL AVIV — At least five people were wounded by falling shrapnel Monday after a missile fired from Lebanon was intercepted by the Israeli military over a street in the city of Ramat Gan, officials said. Another patient listed in moderate condition and three mildly injured were taken to the Rabin Medical Center, the service said. Israel’s police service said it was “working to secure the impact sites and assist in evacuating the injured” in the city, which is within the Tel Aviv district. The Israeli military said in a statement that the country’s air force had “intercepted one projectile that was identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory. An Israeli airstrike killed five people and another 24 were injured by a strike on central Beirut's densely populated Zuqaq al-Blat neighborhood, Lebanon’s health ministry said Monday.

On the face of it, there are sizable differences in foreign policy between Trump and President Joe Biden. In October, the Biden administration again helped to intercept a barrage of around 200 Iranian ballistic missiles, which also caused minimal damage to targets in Israel. Bringing US troops homeIn 2020, the Trump administration signed a US withdrawal agreement from Afghanistan with the Taliban. But after McMaster was pushed out of office in 2018, the Trump administration negotiated with the Taliban the withdrawal agreement of all US forces from Afghanistan. Nonetheless, the incoming Trump administration seems intent on resurrecting Schedule F, an executive order issued in the last months of the first Trump term.

Thousands of police officers were deployed across Paris, seeking to avoid a repeat of last week's violence in Amsterdam involving locals and Israeli fans. Outside Stade de France, soccer fans filed into the stadium amid a heavy police presence.

Sirens sounded in central and northern Israel Saturday and the Israeli military continued to pummel Lebanon and Gaza, as cease-fire talks held this week yielded little hope of ending hostilities on the ground. The Israeli military bombed targets in Beirut's densely-populated southern suburbs overnight after warning residents to evacuate. It was the first time in several days that the area, a Hezbollah stronghold, had been hit. The Lebanese Health Ministry said 52 people were killed by the Israeli strikes, and 72 injured across the country on Friday. Health workers in Gaza told Reuters that at least 68 people were killed in Israeli strikes in the last 24 hours.

SAVANNAH, Ga. — David Shockley doesn’t understand his son Darius’ political ideology. “It makes no sense,” said David, who is Black and plans to vote for former President Donald Trump for a second time. The latest NBC News Stay Tuned Gen Z poll, powered by SurveyMonkey, found that more than half of Gen Z respondents ages 18 to 29 say they have different political views than at least one of their parents. Both David and Darius — two Black men in a battleground state — are emblematic of a voter base that Democrats and Republicans see as integral to success. “Despite the chasm between the political views, we still come together on our—” said David as he searched for the right word.
