James Corden said the drama surrounding his brief ban from the famed New York City restaurant Balthazar is "silly" because he has not done anything wrong. "I haven’t done anything wrong, on any level,” Corden said in an interview with The New York Times to promote his new Amazon Prime Video mini-series "Mammals." It’s certainly beneath your publication," he told The New York Times. One report said Corden showed a hair to an apologetic restaurant manager and demanded "another round of drinks this second." During his interview with The New York Times, Corden pointed out a customer who "curtly" returned the eggs she ordered.

Priorities presented at the political gathering of more than 2,000 party members will also set China’s trajectory for the next five years or even longer. In his speech Sunday, Xi struck a confident tone, highlighting China’s growing strength and rising influence under his first decade in power. China's President Xi Jinping speaks during the opening session of the 20th Chinese Communist Party's Congress at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on October 16, 2022. And China’s economy is in bad shape. Meantime, a comparison between this year’s speech and the last one delivered by Xi in 2017 at the 19th party congress revealed a potentially worrying trend.

RALEIGH, N.C. — A North Carolina district attorney said Friday that she intends to charge the 15-year-old suspected in a mass shooting that killed five people in Raleigh as an adult. Freeman's announcement came as a neighborhood northeast of Raleigh was left reeling and families of those killed mourned their loss. Officials said the suspect was taken into custody after a “long standoff” with police and was in critical condition. She always knew how to “take charge of everything” in order to help her loved ones, Howard said, his voice heavy with emotion. “This is an incredibly difficult time for our school community as well as the broader Raleigh community,” Richardson wrote in a statement.

Fencing including razor wire forms a barrier to the Arizona state Capitol complex after it was installed following protests against the United States Supreme Court after it overturned the landmark Roe v Wade abortion decision, in Phoenix, Arizona, U.S. June 27, 2022. REUTERS/Caitlin O’Hara REFILE -WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Friday's ruling allowing Arizona to enforce a ban on nearly all abortions, if allowed to stand, will result in "catastrophic, dangerous, and unacceptable" consequences for women, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Saturday. "Yesterday’s ruling in Arizona is dangerous and will set Arizona women back more than a century – to a time before Arizona was even a state," Jean-Pierre said in a statement. The Arizona ruling by Pima County Superior Court Judge Kellie Johnson granted a request by the state's Republican attorney general to lift a court injunction that had barred enforcement of Arizona's pre-statehood ban on abortion after the Supreme Court decision. Johnson's ruling bans all abortions in Arizona except when the procedure is necessary to save the mother's life.

Russian President Vladimir Putin makes an address on the conflict with Ukraine, in Moscow, Russia, in this still image taken from video released September 21, 2022. I think even with this Russia stuff it’s hard to see the market really rally a lot more from here ahead of the FOMC. From a geopolitical standpoint, Putin is frustrated that the war isn’t going his way and he’s threatening the west. "If it gets really, really bad, I'd expect the dollar to rise." This announcement by Putin to intensify the escalation in Ukraine definitely doesn’t help.

Key to his initiative is ensuring that “biotechnologies invented in the United States of America are made in the United States of America”. With more bad news set to trickle out of Washington, Chinese biotech companies have a bitter pill to swallow. The order "directs the federal government to ensure biotechnologies invented in the United States of America are made in the United States of America," Biden said. Hong Kong shares of WuXi Biologics, a Chinese contract drug manufacturer, closed down 20% on Sept. 13 to HK$53.40.
