Power outages from Texas storms which have killed four could last weeks as temperatures soar

Power outages could last for weeks in the Houston, Texas area of the USA after a destructive complex of storms tore through the area, killing at least four people and crumpling critical power infrastructure. More than 900,000 homes and businesses lost power in Houston's Harris County during the peak of the storm's violent winds, and more than 650,000 remained in the dark Friday afternoon, according to PowerOutage.us. "For some folks, the luckier ones, (power restoration) might be days, not hours. For many, many people, it's going to be weeks and not days," Harris County Judge Lina Hildago said in a Friday news briefing. Hidalgo said the weeks-long restoration timeframe was for homes and businesses tied into the 10 steel power transmission towers downed in the state, seven ...

Judge holds Trump in contempt, fines him $13,900 and raises threat of jail in hush money trial

Former United States president Donald Trump has been held in contempt of court and fined US$9000 ($13,864) for repeatedly violating a gag order that barred him from making public statements about witnesses, jurors and some others connected to his New York hush money case. If he does it again, the judge warned on Tuesday, he could be jailed. Prosecutors had alleged 10 violations, but New York Judge Juan M Merchan found there were nine. The ruling was a stinging rebuke for the Republican former president, who had insisted he was exercising his free speech rights. Merchan wrote that Trump "is hereby warned that the Court will not tolerate continued wilful violations of its lawful orders and that if necessary and appropriate under the circumstances, it will impose an inc...

US election 2024: Ron DeSantis ends presidential campaign and endorses Donald Trump

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who entered the Republican presidential primary as Donald Trump's greatest threat, has announced that he is ending his White House bid and endorsing the former president. His announcement, made in a video posted on X, comes after a disappointing second-place finish in last week's Iowa Republican caucuses. "If there was anything I could do to produce a favourable outcome, more campaign stops, more interviews, I would do it, but I can't ask our supporters to volunteer their time and donate their resources if we don't have a clear path to victory. Accordingly, I am today suspending my campaign," DeSantis said. He then touted his support for Trump: "While, I've had disagreements with Donald Trump, such as on the coronavirus pandemic and his e...

North Korea’s Kim says he’ll launch three more spy satellites and build more nuclear weapons in 2024

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his country will launch three additional military spy satellites, build more nuclear weapons and introduce modern unmanned combat equipment in 2024, as he called for “overwhelming” war readiness to cope with US-led confrontational moves, state media reported on Sunday. Kim’s comments, made during a key ruling Workers’ Party meeting to set state goals for next year, suggest he’ll continue a run of weapons tests to increase his leverage in future diplomacy ahead of the US presidential elections in November next year. Observers say Kim could eventually offer to halt North Korea's testing activities and take other limited denuclearisation steps in return for sanctions relief but he has no intentions of fully abandoning his advancing nuclear arse...
