☆ Cuba hit by second blackout after national power grid failure
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-19 | by ( Patrick Oppmann | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

CNN —Cuba suffered a second nationwide blackout Saturday morning, hours after officials said power was being slowly restored. “At 6:15 am a new total outage occurred of the national electroenergetic system,” a post on the Cuba Electrical Union’s official Telegram channel said. Millions of people have been left without power over the last several days as the aging Cuban electrical grid repeatedly collapsed. Cuban officials have blamed a confluence of events from increased US economic sanctions to disruptions caused by recent hurricanes and the impoverished state of the island’s infrastructure. The country’s health minister, José Angel Portal Miranda, said on X that the country’s health facilities were running on generators and that health workers continued to provide vital services.

New York CNN —A tentative deal has been reached to end the five-week-long strike at troubled aircraft maker Boeing, the union announced to its 33,000 striking members early Saturday. Rank-and-file already nearly unanimously rejected a previous tentative agreement, precipitating the first strike at the company in 16 years. Many union members had expressed anger over the loss of the pensions. The union credited Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su with brokering the deal in indirect talks between the union and management. A week after that deal was rejected, Boeing improved its offer to 30% in wage increases over the four-year deal, terming that its best and final offer.

Sirens wailed Saturday morning in Israel, warning of incoming fire from Lebanon, including a drone launched toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's house in Caesarea, the Israeli government said.

Vice President Kamala Harris will join the Obamas for get-out-the-vote events in the battleground states of Georgia and Michigan next week, marking the first time she’s hitting the trail with either former President Barack Obama or Michelle Obama, according to a senior campaign official. As Election Day nears, campaign advisers are turning their focus to voter turnout, bringing in surrogates to mobilize voters in critical states. Next Thursday, Harris will appear with former President Obama in Georgia, where early voting has begun. And later in the week, she’ll head to Michigan to appear with Michelle Obama to mark the first day of voting in the state. Next Saturday’s event will also mark Michelle Obama’s first time on the trail for the Harris-Walz campaign.

☆ In college football showdown, Texas will try beating Georgia at its own game

That changed in 2023, when Texas went 12-2 in coach Steve Sarkisian’s third season and appeared in the College Football Playoff for the first time. Like Texas, Georgia spent much of the last 30 years boasting a past national championship and a campus in a recruiting-rich part of the country, with little modern success to show for it. The quarterback of the Bulldogs’ back-to-back championship teams was not a former high-star recruit but he did grow up in Georgia. In the decade before Sarkisian’s hiring, Texas recruiting classes finished with an average rank of 10.8 in the country; in three recruiting classes under Sarkisian, Texas has averaged a ranking of 4.6. In the eyes of Texas fans, the Longhorns won’t qualify as fully back until they win the program’s first football national championship since 2006.

The Democratic National Committee is using the last stretch of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour to urge young people to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. In conjunction with her shows, the DNC announced that it is launching a Taylor Swift-themed “I Will Vote” campaign across Florida and other battleground states. Ads for the “I Will Vote” campaign will begin appearing across Miami on billboards, including a mobile billboard on a boat near Hard Rock Stadium. The advertisements will encourage young voters to embrace their “Kamala era,” the DNC said in its announcement. Before Swift backed the Democratic ticket, many of her fans had already formed the group Swifties for Kamala — which is unaffiliated with Swift, the DNC or the Harris campaign — to raise money for Harris.

Vice President Kamala Harris will hit the trail for the first time alongside the Obamas, who the campaign hopes will galvanize supporters in early voting areas in the waning days ahead of the election. Harris will hold a campaign event with former President Barack Obama in Georgia next Thursday, the first time the pair has campaigned side by side, a senior campaign official said. A week from Saturday, Harris will campaign alongside former first lady Michelle Obama in Michigan, the first time she has appeared on the campaign trail this cycle. In a major push, Democratic stars are hitting the trail for Harris in the final weeks of the campaign. In addition to his plans to campaign alongside Harris in Georgia, Barack Obama is set to hold events in Arizona and Nevada on Friday and Saturday.

The anxiety abated for a bit when Vice President Kamala Harris replaced him on the ticket and her poll numbers spiked. With Harris' numbers stagnant now for weeks, many Democrats are once again fretting that the election is slipping away and that Donald Trump may yet regain power. Harris appears to be OK with the collective jitters, recognizing that if Democrats fear they might lose, they're more apt to show up at the polls and help her win. Polling shows that neither Harris nor Trump has built a lead outside the margin of error. Claims that Harris is an underdog amount to “a liberal plot to get us overconfident on the Trump side,” he added.

AdvertisementDavid Fry was the final hero on a night filled with them for the Guardians, who now trail two games to one. It was the first blown save in five playoff chances for Weaver, who has appeared in all seven of the Yankees’ postseason games. After Noel tied it up in the ninth, the Yankees left two runners on when Pedro Avila struck out Anthony Volpe to end the top of the 10th. Judge and Stanton took him deep and altered the course of the ALCS in a span of eight pitches in Game 3. Gaddis served up a two-run blast to Judge in Game 2, and Clase suffered the same fate in Game 3.
