With four weeks to go until Election Day, the 2024 polls continue to show a presidential race that remains on a knife’s edge — and well within the margin of error. It’s also true in the polls of the battleground states that will ultimately decide the presidential contest. Harris and Trump are essentially tied, perhaps with a slight lean toward Trump, in the Sun Belt states of Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina. And this is a fundamentally different race than the one that existed before President Joe Biden stepped aside from his re-election campaign and endorsed Harris. The 2024 race, ultimately, will be decided by turnout, concluding news events, how the third-party/undecided vote breaks and other factors.

Viewers were impressed with how well “SNL” captured the over-the-top and eccentric nature of “Sábado Gigante” that they remember from their childhoods, and took to social media to voice their praise. “This SNL sketch about Sábado Gigante is funny because it’s exactly like Sábado Gigante,” one X user wrote. “Sábado Gigante sketch on SNL was both hilarious and accurate. “I want to thank @marcellohdz and @nbcsnl for bringing to memory those special moments of our dear Sábado Gigante,” Kreutzberger wrote in Spanish.

Israel observes the first anniversary of the Oct. 7 attacks as it steps up attacks on Gaza and Lebanon. The people of Gaza have endured an unmitigated humanitarian catastrophe as Israel carries out one of the most intensive bombing campaigns in history. Gaza was already impoverished, overcrowded and largely inescapable, blockaded by Israel and Egypt for 17 years. Life-threatening storm surges are due to hit the state’s Gulf Coast as Hurricane Milton is set to make landfall on Wednesday.

☆ NFL Week 5: All the crazy way teams scored (and won)
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-07 | by ( Andrew Greif | Andrew Greif Is A Freelance Sports Journalist. | ) www.nbcnews.com time to read: +3 min

In Week 5, scoring returned — and, in several cases, it happened in some of the oddest and most unexpected ways. The Jacksonville Jaguars’ Tank Bigsby was first hit 14 yards from the end zone by one Indianapolis Colts tackler and appeared to be wrapped up by another at the 11. Yet, with two teammates pushing him forward, he wound up with a touchdown instead of a short gain, a score that became part of Jacksonville’s first victory. Two minutes before halftime, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love dropped back into his end zone and was shoved with two hands — but not sacked for a safety — by a chasing Rams defender. Officially, he went 101 yards, 18 yards longer than Seattle’s previous franchise record for a fumble return.

☆ FDA antidepressant warnings of suicide risk among kids may have the opposite effect, study finds
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-07 | by ( Kristen Rogers | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +9 min

None of the studies noted improvements in mental health care or declines in suicide attempts or deaths after the warnings were implemented. While an increase in antidepressant use occurred before the FDA advisory, there were abrupt and sustained declines in use — ranging from 20% to 50% — after the warnings. Three studies reported increases in psychotropic drug poisonings, which suggest suicide attempts, and in suicide deaths among children. However, “the study convincingly suggests that the Black Box warning may have made at least some providers and families anxious about treating adolescents with antidepressants,” Fortuna said. Every young person differs in the level of risk, needs and circumstances, Fortuna said, and antidepressants can be lifesaving.

Yet despite the atrocious conditions, the fixture went ahead as planned, and after 90 minutes of less-than-inspiring football, England had beaten Czechoslovakia 1-0 at Wembley Stadium. More importantly, however, was the fact that Anderson had made history as the first Black player to represent the England national team. Up and down the country, Anderson says that racist abuse formed an ugly backdrop to some of his football career. “It’s one of those things we (Black players) all had to get through if we wanted to make a career,” he says.

Washington CNN —Former President Donald Trump has delivered a barrage of lies and distortions about the federal response to Hurricane Helene. Over a span of six days, in public comments and social media posts, Trump has used his powerful megaphone to endorse or invent false or unsubstantiated claims.

Brian Kemp: “He’s been calling the president, hasn’t been able to get him.”It was immediately clear that Trump’s claim was false.

But as climate change leads temperatures to rise, fire seasons to grow longer and drought conditions to become more intense, intentionally set fires have more opportunity to take off and grow. Given that, he said, “an arrest can have a big payoff.”Prestemon has studied wildfire arson events in Florida, Spain and other locations. Wildfire arson isn’t well studied, but researchers in the U.S., Europe and Australia have narrowed down the profile of typical perpetrators.

☆ Here are all the winners in the port strike deal

New York CNN —The deal reached Thursday evening that ended a strike by 50,000 portworkers has a lot of winners and few if any losers. But that wage deal stopped what could have become the most disruptive US strike in decades had it lasted weeks or months. The strike halted the flow of imports and exports across dozens of ports, what could have been a massive blow had the strike continued. Not that this was the deal that the the United States Maritime Alliance, the group that negotiates on behalf of ship lines, terminal operators and ports, wanted. But it was the one they could settle for after the Biden administration made clear it wasn’t going to intervene.

☆ When threats of violence at school flare up, parents in America face ‘an impossible situation’

The mass attack at Winder’s Apalachee High School was at least the year’s 45th school shooting in America. It typically gets 500 in a year, according to an academic study that claims it’s one of the first to quantify more than 1,000 threats of school violence over four academic years. Emily Elconin/Getty ImagesNo agency or group tracks all threats of US school violence, from possible gun attacks to bombings to any other conceivable danger. Atlanta Public Schools hadn’t warned caregivers so broadly of possible danger like this in at least a year, he said. The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office sent 11 motor and K-9 units to help that day, it later told CNN; the Atlanta Police Department deferred CNN’s questions to Atlanta Public Schools.

And if they can do it, I can also have this dream.”Caroline Graham Hansen playing for VfL Wolfsburg in March 2018. Boris Streubel/Getty ImagesGraham Hansen is 29 years of age and the women’s game has transformed during her career. Graham Hansen scored 32 goals in only 40 games and, with an additional 28 assists, she led her team with a total of 60 goal contributions. That is why she is one of seven players from last season’s squad to be shortlisted for the Ballon d’Or Féminin, and Graham Hansen thinks that the number could have been even higher. Barcelona has won the last three Ballon d’Ors Féminin – Alexia Putellas in 2021 and 2022, Aitana Bonmatí in 2023 – but Graham Hansen says they’re not in competition with each other for the award.

FAIRFAX, Va. — A jury on Friday acquitted a former police officer in Virginia of involuntary manslaughter after he fatally shot a shoplifting suspect outside a busy shopping mall. But the jury did convict the former police sergeant, Wesley Shifflett, of reckless handling of a firearm in connection with the shooting. After the shots were fired, Shifflett immediately yelled “stop reaching” and told other officers that he saw Johnson reaching in his waistband. During cross-examination, Sands asked Shifflett about shooting Johnson before commanding that the victim “stop reaching.”“My motor functions were operating more quickly than I could verbalize,” Shifflett said. The special grand jury returned indictments on charges including involuntary manslaughter and reckless handling of a firearm.

☆ Bailey Sharp, 23, was killed after plotting California man's murder; co-conspirators sentenced to life, as seen on Dateline

For years, Jeff Sharp often relied on the same refrain when he came upon an addict. The only reason Bailey wasn’t charged in Hilbert’s murder, Zois told “Dateline,” is because she is dead. A lawyer for Bischoff disputed this account, telling “Dateline” that his client had nothing to do with Hilbert’s murder. Bailey Sharp, 23, was killed weeks after Justin Hilbert's murder. And without that money, the arrangement between Bischoff, Bailey and Serrano fell apart in the weeks that followed.
