US President Donald Trump’s two adult sons showed up to court wearing nearly identical navy blue suits on Thursday, as they testified back-to-back in the civil fraud case that threatens their family’s business empire. Even Donald Jr and Eric Trump’s ties, both a pale blue, seemed co-ordinated. The two brothers’ testimonies, however, were a study in contrasts. Their public personas are inextricably linked with their father’s business and political ventures, but their temperaments and reputations could not have evolved more distinctly. Donald Trump Jr, the eldest, attempted to carry over some of the bravado and humour he displayed on Wednesday…

Armed police officers wave cars off the motorway going from Poland to Germany. They’re searching for people-smugglers and their desperate cargo. This is the German government’s latest bid to show it is getting a grip on rising levels of irregular migration. But, as we found in a rural border district, there’s little sense of control. Altenberg is a small town in Saxony, right by the Czech Republic. Families race down a toboggan run that weaves through the forest and, when winter’s here, there’s even a small ski resort. The local mayor, Markus Wiesenberg, says that – in this area alone…

German tennis star Alexander Zverev has been given a penalty order and fined €450,000 ($478,000) by a Berlin court after being accused of physical abuse against a woman, according to a court statement. Zverev is accused of “physically abusing and damaging the health of a woman during an argument in Berlin in May 2020,” according to the statement. Zverev has denied the allegations and has lodged an objection against the penalty order, meaning the case will now go to a Berlin district court and “the presumption of innocence applies until a final conviction,” the statement read. According to Zverev’s lawyers, the woman is his former partner. The court statement doesn’t name…

Earlier this week Nasim was leaving the only home he’s ever known, trudging toward Pakistan’s border alongside tens of thousands of fellow Afghan refugees who like him have been given a deadline to depart the country. “I was born in Pakistan, I’ve lived here for 42 years, I went to school in Pakistan,” said Nasim, who had traveled to the Torkham border crossing from the northern city Peshawar. “I’ve never been to Afghanistan.” In a move that has upturned countless lives, Pakistan ordered all Afghan refugees and migrants without official identity documents to leave the country by November 1 –…

Some news that may make “Euphoria” viewers a little crestfallen: The wait for Season 3 might be longer than you hoped. The Zendaya-led HBO drama series won’t be returning until 2025, according to the network. Per reports, the series was featured in a sizzle reel at a press event on Thursday morning in New York that indicated its anticipated return date. A spokesperson confirmed the news to CNN.

The Israeli military had no immediate comment on the incident, and CNN could not independently confirm the source of the blast at the house. Palestine TV has not…

Apple on Thursday posted its fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year sales declines as the iPhone maker continues to struggle with slower device sales amid an uncertain economic environment. The company reported $89.5 billion in sales for the three months ended September 30, down 1% from the same period in the prior year and essentially in line with the $84.3 billion Wall Street analysts had expected. Despite the sales dip, Apple’s net income from the quarter grew nearly 11% year-over-year to $22.96 billion, beating analysts’ projections. Apple (AAPL) shares fell more than 1% in after-hours trading following the report. “During the…

The Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and Bartenders Union Local 165 will strike on November 10 at 5 am PT if a contract is not agreed by then, they said in a news release Thursday. Thirty-five thousand workers would strike across 18 casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip if a five-year contract is not reached, the release said. “A month ago, workers voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike and we have continued negotiating in good faith, but unfortunately companies haven’t made enough movement in negotiations,” Ted Pappageorge, secretary-treasurer for the Culinary Union, said in a statement. “Their current proposal on the table is historic,…

Donald Trump’s two eldest sons took the stand in a New York court, testifying in a civil fraud trial that threatens to engulf the family’s property empire. Prosecutors say Eric and Donald Trump Jr played key roles in the Trump Organization’s efforts to exaggerate its wealth and falsify records. In court, the brothers denied wrongdoing and sought to shift the blame onto the company’s accountants. Their sister Ivanka is also expected to testify later in November. The judge in the case, Arthur Engoron, has already ruled that the Trump Organization committed massive fraud. The trial will ultimately determine what civil…

Deadly robots that can climb trees, AI friends and a work-less future were among the topics as Rishi Sunak sat down with Elon Musk. The prime minister held a highly unusual “in conversation” event with the billionaire X and Tesla owner at the end of this week’s summit on artificial intelligence. Throughout the wide-ranging and chummy discussion, Mr Musk held court as the prime minister asked most of the questions. The pair talked about how London was a leading hub for the AI industry and how the technology could transform learning. But the chat took some darker turns too, with…
