Good evening. It’s Sunday, August 10.
The Trump administration will send the FBI on night patrols in the nation’s capital in the wake of President Trump threatening to federalize the District of Columbia, according to multiple reports.
The Washington Post has reported that close to 120 FBI agents are beginning to be deployed for nightlong shifts to assist D.C. law enforcement in halting Washington-based carjackings and violent crime, two sources with knowledge of the situation told the outlet.
A spokesperson for the FBI told The New York Times that there was involvement “in the increased federal law enforcement presence in Washington” by its agents and pointed the outlet to the White House.
A suspected gun-toting teen who fired into a crowd in Times Square on Saturday, wounding three people — including two innocent bystanders — was ordered held on $200,000 bail Sunday.
Suspect Jayden Clark, 17, was arraigned in Manhattan criminal court on attempted-murder charges in the early-morning shooting that wounded his target, a 19-year-old man, in the leg — and also injured a 65-year-old bystander in the left knee and grazed an 18-year-old female tourist from Maryland in the neck, cops said.
“All sequences of these events were captured on high-definition surveillance cameras,” Manhattan prosecutor Sidney Balman told the judge at Clark’s hearing.
Australia will move to recognise a state of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly next month, with a condition that terror group Hamas play no role in its future governance.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Australia would work with the international community to make recognition a reality.
“Australia will recognise the state of Palestine. Australia will recognise the right of the Palestinian people to a state of their own, predicated on the commitments Australia has received from the Palestinian Authority,” Mr Albanese said.
The Israel Defense Forces announced it killed the head of a Hamas terrorist cell who has been simultaneously working as a journalist for Al Jazeera.
On Sunday evening, the IDF confirmed the death of 28-year-old Anas al Sharif, a prominent Gazan journalist who had been working with the Qatar-based Arabic media outlet, after strikes on Gaza City.
In an X post, Israel’s military said Sharif’s journalism credentials were merely a cover for his service in Hamas, the terrorist group that controls the Gaza Strip.
Nvidia and AMD have agreed to give the US government 15 per cent of the revenues from chip sales in China, as part of an unusual arrangement with the Trump administration to obtain export licences for the semiconductors.
The two chipmakers agreed to the financial arrangement as a condition for obtaining export licences for the Chinese market that were granted last week, according to people familiar with the situation, including a US official.
The US official said Nvidia agreed to share 15 per cent of the revenues from H20 chip sales in China and AMD will provide the same percentage from MI308 chip revenues. Two people familiar with the arrangement said the Trump administration had not yet determined how to use the money.
Local complaints have prompted a child-focused charity in New York to ditch a drag event for kids set for next Sunday – and its cancelled drag queen host is not happy.
The Child Advocacy Center of Greater Rochester, a nonprofit “dedicated to giving children a voice and putting an end to abuse,” announced last week it would not hold its “all-ages,” “drag bingo” fundraiser.
Its scheduled cohost, drag queen “Mrs. Kasha Davis,” in reality a man named Ed Popil, took to a Rochester news station and said the cancellation was giving into “hate.”
