Resources are stretched thin as the south-east grapples with hurricanes and the west swelters in high temperaturesIt's been a brutal week in weather-related disasters across the US. Large parts of the south-east are still grappling with the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, and another potentially catastrophic storm is barreling towards Florida. At the same time, much of the west has been sweltering amid scorching temperatures, which have elevated fire risks and fueled extreme fire behavior.Hurricanes and fires aren't abnormal in early autumn. But the climate crisis has turned up the dial and created more opportunities for catastrophes to overlap, ultimately adding strain on relief resources, emergency response, and those who have been impacted by the dangerous and destructive events.

The two Americans were on our list five years ago but their paths show the professional game is rarely straightforwardCareer paths are rarely straightforward, whether in football or any other area of life. Circumstances often change. Injuries and illnesses happen, there are often changes in leadership which have an impact on the individual while personal lives also play a part.Career paths are therefore very difficult to predict. Looking down the list of our 2019 Next Generation, which we have now followed for five years, there were no guarantees any of the players would become household names. OK, Alex Holiga, who covers the Balkans for us, was confident that Josko Gvardiol would make it big - which he has - but apart from him, and perhaps Ansu Fati, Eduardo Camavinga and Jeremy Doku, there were no certainties.A remarkable year for the youngster. Made his Bundesliga debut on 18 January and has not looked back since. He now has 23 first-team appearances and has established himself as a starter and one of the most talented young players in Europe. I'm still learning a lot tactically," he said in August. There is a very big difference between youth and professional football. Making the right movements and creating space for myself and others is what I still need to learn the most.A tumultuous year for the young American who was caught in the crossfire of a feud between his own family and the USMNT coach, Gregg Berhalter, after the World Cup, during which he played a mere 52 minutes of the US's four games. Injuries have once again hampered him but he is back to full fitness now and a US return seems likely too after talks with Berhalter. Continue reading...
US Open semi-finalist Frances Tiafoe aimed a torrent of expletives at the chair umpire after losing his third-round match at the Shanghai Masters.Tiafoe targeted Jimmy Pinoargote in a minute-long tirade after his 7-5, 5-7, 6-7 defeat against unseeded Roman Safiullin. The American was angered after being docked his first serve for a time violation at 5-5 in the decisive tiebreaker.
Eric Hovde campaign ramps up efforts to tie Democrat to funding for LGBTQ+ care for youth, as race becomes toss-upAs the race between Wisconsin senator Tammy Baldwin and her Republican challenger Eric Hovde tightens, the Hovde campaign and outside groups supporting the candidate have ramped up efforts to tie Baldwin to funding for LGBTQ+ care for youth - echoing the anxieties and biases of the rightwing parents rights" movement.According to the nonpartisan campaign analysis group Cook Political Report, the race between Hovde and Baldwin - in which Baldwin previously enjoyed an ample lead - is now a toss-up. Internal polling reportedly reflects that trend. The race in Wisconsin is one of a handful that could determine control of the Senate next year. Continue reading...

Chiefs got out of the woods after Kelce shook off hit, beating Khalen Saunders' Saints as the pop star watched in personA backup dancer on Taylor Swift's Eras tour has said it was the play of the game" when his brother spectacularly intercepted a pass on Monday Night Football - immediately after landing a thunderous hit on Swift's boyfriend - all while the pop superstar watched in person from a luxury box.The sequence of events that brought together Eras performer Kameron Saunders, his pro football-playing sibling Khalen, Swift and her partner, Travis Kelce, left the 14-time Grammy winner leaning into someone next to her, animatedly pointing at the field in plain view of a television camera, and incredulously saying: That's my backup dancer's brother."

The pandemic, Russia-Ukraine war and corporate price-gouging have all contributed to inflation - not Kamala HarrisAs the presidential campaign enters the home stretch, one of Donald Trump's most dishonest - and effective - attacks is that Kamala Harris is to blame for inflation.That attack makes no sense. Several things caused a surge in inflation, but the US vice-president wasn't one of them. Blame inflation on the pandemic or on Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine, but don't blame it on Harris. Blaming her for inflation makes as much sense as blaming her for the leak in your roof. In seeking to blame Harris for inflation, Trump is absurdly trying to turn her - a vice-president who, like other veeps, has very little power - into some all-powerful economic tsar who somehow controls everything from egg prices to gasoline prices.

Only a quarter of battleground voters think the country is going the right way. Why is Harris touting the approval of the elite?Kamala Harris and Liz Cheney's campaign event last week in Ripon, Wisconsin, the birthplace of the Republican party, was a dramatic component of Harris's ongoing outreach to Republicans. That outreach, begun under President Joe Biden and continuing even more aggressively under Harris, was made clear in an open letter on Thursday in which two dozen Republican former officials and lawmakers in Wisconsin endorsed Harris and her running mate, the Minnesota governor, Tim Walz.We have plenty of policy disagreements with Vice President Harris," the Republicans wrote. But what we do agree upon is more important. We agree that we cannot afford another four years of the broken promises, election denialism, and chaos of Donald Trump's leadership." Continue reading...

Eerie footage from the town of Treasure Island in Florida shows deserted streets as Hurricane Milton approaches. Florida's western coast was making emergency preparations on Tuesday for the impact of the powerful storm, with thousands of evacuees clogging highways, contending with fuel shortages, and the mayor of Tampa warning residents bluntly 'you are going to die' if they stayed behind. The US National Hurricane Center (NHC) said Milton would retain major hurricane status and 'expand in size' as it approached Florida after passing the Mexican city of Merida before swerving north towards the US
The US and Europe are failing to provide decisive military aid. A Trump victory could soon reveal the depths of this mistakeIn the corridors of Brussels, there is a sinking feeling that the political will to help Ukraine prevail over Russian aggression is ebbing - on both sides of the Atlantic. One senior western official told me it may take a second shock" of the magnitude of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 to jolt western countries out of their funk, and spur Europeans to take more radical steps to boost and integrate their own defences. That shock may involve a sudden collapse of Ukrainian frontline defences, another Bucha-style massacre by Russian forces, or perhaps victory for Donald Trump on 5 November. Any of those would be a disaster for Kyiv.For now, the US is preoccupied with its presidential election and an escalating war in the Middle East that has pushed Moscow's grinding advance on the Donbas battlefield out of the headlines. France is distracted by a political and fiscal crisis, with Emmanuel Macron's power at home and influence in Europe waning fast. Germany is paralysed by feuding in its moribund three-party coalition, which may or may not stagger on until a general election due in September 2025.Paul Taylor is a senior visiting fellow at the European Policy Centre Continue reading...

A team of 'hurricane hunters' from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) flew through Milton as the category 4 hurricane barrelled towards Florida's coast. The team from NOAA gathered data on the storm, which is expected to be one of the worst to hit the US in decades. Joe Biden warned that evacuation orders for residents in the storm's path were a matter of 'life and death' as he announced that he had cancelled his trips to Germany and Angola to remain in the US as the storm hit.

Inquiry by Sheldon Whitehouse found White House and FBI misled' about inquiry into supreme court nomineeThe Trump administration protected Brett Kavanaugh from facing a full FBI investigation in the wake of serious allegations that he sexually assaulted two women - once in high school and once in college - during his controversial 2018 Senate confirmation to become a supreme court justice, according to a new report.An investigation led by the Democratic senator Sheldon Whitehouse also found that both the Trump White House and the FBI misled the public and the Senate" about the scope of the investigation it did conduct into the sexual assault allegations by falsely claiming that the FBI had conducted its investigation thoroughly and by the book".

We'd like to hear from people from US swing states who are still undecided about whom to vote for in the 2024 presidential election, and for what reasonsWith less than a month to go until the 2024 US presidential election, and voting already underway in many parts of the country, we're interested to hear from US voters who live in swing states and are still undecided how they may vote.If you live in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona or Nevada we'd like to know why you are still undecided if that applies to you - whether it's because of particular events or developments that make it difficult to make up your mind, because you require more clarity on certain policy areas or the candidates themselves, or for any other reason.

Unions have mobilized thousands of members to convince them that Harris is a far better ally than TrumpEven though the vast majority of US labor unions have endorsed Kamala Harris, many union members support Donald Trump, and with the race so close, unions have stepped up efforts to convince those workers that Trump is no friend of unions or workers.In Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin - states that Harris badly needs to win - union households are an important voting bloc, and unions have mobilized thousands of members to engage in worksite conversations, door-knocking and phone-banking to make the case that Harris is far better for workers than Trump.

Events in Austria are alarming. Because there and elsewhere, progressives hold up their hands and ask: what can we do?Last Thursday, on a cool Vienna night, anti-fascist protesters thronged through the pretty boulevards of Austria's capital. The far right - in the shape of the Freedom party (FPO), led by bespectacled ideologue Herbert Kickl - had secured first place in September's elections, unprecedented in postwar Austria. The protesters waved placards with slogans like FPO ist so 1938", referring to the year of Adolf Hitler's Anschluss annexation, and chanted Nazis raus!" (Nazis out!"). They were boisterous and determined, but without a clear strategy to drive back the rightwing authoritarian surge that threatens to rot western democracies from within.What is happening in Austria should alarm you, because it reflects a wider trend. It's certainly true that the FPO is different from other far-right parties because it can directly trace its roots to Europe's fascist past: its first leader in the 1950s was a former Nazi functionary, and its leader in the 1990s - Jorg Haider - praised Nazi employment policies and lauded former Waffen-SS members as decent men". When the conservative Austrian People's party (OVP) brought him into coalition in 2000, this breaching of the cordon sanitaire, which was supposed to separate the centre right and what lies beyond, led to EU sanctions and mass protests at home and abroad.Owen Jones is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...
Former president says territory where 41,000 people have been killed could be better than Monaco' if developedDonald Trump's truthfulness as well as his knowledge of Middle East geography has come under fresh scrutiny after the former president claimed to have been to Gaza - although there is no evidence of him ever visiting the war-torn Palestinian territory.Trump raised eyebrows after the Republican nominee in November's presidential election told Hugh Hewitt, a rightwing radio host, that he had been in the tiny coastal strip where more than 41,000 people have been killed and the majority of buildings badly damaged or destroyed in blistering Israeli military attacks responding to last year's 7 October attack by Hamas. The Hamas attack killed 1,200 about Israelis and took about 250 hostage. Continue reading...
After fewer than 100 days, it's hard to think of anyone who has squandered so much electoral capital so quickly for so littleDay two of Keir Starmer's reset, and it's impossible not to get caught up in the thrill of revolution. Running as the change candidate against your own administration, fewer than 100 days into it, is a genuinely exciting place to be. Has it been done before? I've got a feeling it will be again - and soon.The weekend's big news was the vanquishing of Sue Gray, the breakout star of the Sue Gray report. Starmer's erstwhile chief of staff has been made an envoy", which is an honour on a par with having special projects" in your job title if you work in the media. As for her vanquisher, the chief of staff role has now been subsumed by Starmer's political chief, Morgan McSweeney. Visually speaking - the only way to judge a book - McSweeney has the look of a supporting actor in a regional detective show. I see him as the local number two to the guy who's sent to an unfamiliar place (in this case, government) and forced to do something that its denizens are increasingly hostile towards (in this case, be prime minister).

A doctors' ability to provide sound patient care diminishes with age. We need a comprehensive, fair and respectful way of assessing fitness to practiceAt my medical graduation over 25 years ago, the earnest guest speaker made us promise we would get ourselves a GP. All 160 of us humoured him, secretly believing illness was something that happened to other people.I was 23 years old then. It took me 20 years to honour the promise. In that time, no friend issued me a prescription or arranged any tests: I guess I was lucky. During pregnancy, my obstetrician took charge but didn't mention getting a GP. Becoming a parent made me realise the importance of objectivity in healthcare, which is how my family found a GP. To be clear, I don't recommend any doctor delay finding a GP like I did, especially in this environment of stress and burnout. Continue reading...

A top emergency official says lies spread by Donald Trump and his supporters about Hurricane Helene have hampered recovery efforts. Plus: how to combat food wasteGood morning.Hurricane Milton is expected to sweep past Mexico's Yucatan peninsula and hit the south-west coast of Florida by Wednesday evening local time, bringing sustained winds of nearly 155mph (250km/h) to an area already reeling from Hurricane Helene's devastation 12 days ago. Almost all of Florida's west coast was under a hurricane warning and more than a million people were told to evacuate.How has the Fema chief responded to Trump's falsehoods? Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, have accused the Biden administration of abandoning" people and, baselessly, of being short of disaster relief funds due to money spent on undocumented migrants. (Fema's housing program, which offers shelter to migrants leaving detention, is separate from its disaster relief program.) Deanne Criswell, the Fema administrator, said these falsehoods were creating an impedance to our ability to actually get people the help they need".What else is the right saying about the hurricanes? The far-right congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has been criticised for spreading false conspiracy theories that they can control the weather". Though she never specified who she meant by they", she has a history of promoting untrue conspiracy theories around the federal government, her political opponents and Jews.What will happen to disaster relief if Trump is elected? Experts say that under the controversial rightwing Project 2025 manifesto, which was authored by numerous former Trump officials, federal forecasting of severe storms and aid given to shattered towns and cities would be drastically scaled back.What else did Harris say? She vowed to raise taxes on billionaires and the biggest corporations in order to fund her economic proposals, which include plans to build millions of new housing units, tax breaks for new parents and $25,000 down-payment assistance for new homebuyers.Will Trump sit down with 60 Minutes? The CBS correspondent Scott Pelley told the audience that Trump cancelled an interview last week, with the Trump campaign providing shifting explanations" for why the Republican nominee had declined to participate, including that he did not want to be factchecked.What do the polls say? Harris has a narrow lead over Trump in national polls, though the race is in effect neck and neck in the swing states that will decide the election. Continue reading...
Trump led this demographic handily in 2016 and 2020 but younger white women are moving decidedly to the leftWhite women voters have been the backbone of the GOP for decades - but polls indicate their support for the party may erode this November, thanks to younger white women who are moving left at breakneck speed.In the weeks after the 2016 presidential election, after Donald Trump stunned the world by defeating Hillary Clinton, media outlets seized on white women to explain his shock win. Forty-seven per cent of white women voted for Trump, while 45% backed Clinton, according to an analysis of validated voter files by the Pew Research Center. Continue reading...
The Gulf coast of Florida is bracing for the impact of Hurricane Milton's winds and expected huge storm surge. Almost all of Florida's west coast was under a hurricane warning early on Tuesday, as the storm and its 155mph winds crept toward the state. Florida is is gearing up for what could be its biggest evacuation in seven years, with landfall projected for Wednesday or early Thursday in the Tampa Bay area. Weather officials said Milton was expected to bring heavy rainfall, flooding, a life-threatening storm surge and strong winds
Manifesto calls for drastic cuts to federal forecasting of severe storms and aid given to shattered towns and citiesWith communities still reeling from Hurricane Helene, one of the deadliest storms ever to hit the US, further pain in the form of Hurricane Milton is about to hit Florida. Experts warn such disasters will be deepened if Donald Trump is elected and follows the policy plans of the controversial rightwing Project 2025 manifesto.Under Project 2025, authored by numerous former Trump officials but disavowed by the former president himself, the federal forecasting of severe storms and aid given to shattered towns and cities would be drastically scaled back. Emergency management officials say the cuts would severely worsen the outcomes from a storm like Helene. Continue reading...
Any voter who is still undecided a month from the election seems like the sort who is unlikely to even remember to voteWho, exactly, could be an undecided voter in 2024? It's not as if the candidates do not draw a sufficient contrast. There can be few people alive these days, let alone few registered voters in America, who do not know much more than they ever thought they would about the habits, history, and inner psyche of Donald Trump, who has now been a singularly domineering force in national politics for nearly a decade. The Harris campaign has been trying to play their candidates' comparative newness on the national stage as an asset, rigorously keeping her from saying much of substance, but Kamala Harris, too, is by now a well-known figure: once a popular and high profile senator from the country's biggest state, she moved on to a busy, energetic, and extremely visible vice presidency.The candidates are about as familiar to Americans as they're going to get; anyone still saying they are undecided" now, just four weeks out from the election, seems like the sort who has been paying so little attention that they're not likely to remember to vote at all.Moira Donegan is a Guardian US columnist Continue reading...
While her husband boasts about overturning Roe v Wade, the former first lady is supporting abortion rights. It's almost as if she doesn't care whether he wins the electionMelania Trump has put her support for abortion rights at the centre of her forthcoming memoir - you might even call it the news line. This has confused some observers. It's hard to follow the logic of putting out the former First Lady's book right before the election, undercutting President Trump's message to pro-life voters," wrote one anti-abortion activist, Kristen Hawkins.Donald Trump, meanwhile, remains where he was on the subject, which is ... well, where is he, exactly? He wants the credit for overturning Roe v Wade - and probably deserves it, given that he appointed the hard-right judges whose views were decisive. But he also wants the issue of reproductive rights to stop energising Kamala Harris's campaign. Continue reading...
Joey Sides' peripatetic career included stints in Netherlands, Germany and Scotland (where he was sponsored by a hotel). The memories will last a lifetimeWhen Arizona Sundogs rookie Joey Sides walked into the Wichita Thunder minor league hockey arena in 2009, he smelled manure. It was little wonder: the venue doubled as a home for the local rodeo. But that was nothing compared to the stands, which seemed to go almost straight up. Behind the bench, fans could practically reach out and grab players' jerseys - they were that close. You could hear everything the wild crowd of about 10,000 said. It felt like mayhem in there," Sides says. The rabble threw beer at players and were dragged out of the stadium by security. I could hear one of the fans yelling at my buddy on the ice, saying, Hey, Jonesy! Mix in a salad, you fat fuck!' as he chucked a beer at him. It was insane."Then there was the time later in his career when another team purchased a decommissioned bus for the players at a bargain. That thing broke down, like, six times on us," Sides says. It got so bad that the players agreed that if it showed up for a game against Kansas City, they'd refuse to get on. But their coaches said the team owners would be upset by the boycott. So, they got on and rode. The bus didn't have shocks and Sides watched his teammates flying around, hitting their heads on the ceiling, while it drove over speed bumps. Going 75mph, the vehicle then blew a tire and the whole interior began to fill with dark smoke. It came to a screeching halt on the highway. The players sat on the side of the road so long, waiting for a new ride, that the sold out game in Kansas City was canceled and the players instead celebrated St Patrick's Day in a Podunk town bar, singing karaoke with locals.

I have seen how structural racism is embedded in the EU's institutions. A recruitment revolution is neededAs Ursula von der Leyen sweet-talked and bullied EU leaders to send more women to Brussels over recent weeks, I kept hoping she would also make her incoming team of European commissioners more racially diverse. Thanks to an unexpected twist of fate involving (very) complicated Belgian politics, Hadja Lahbib, Belgium's foreign minister, could soon make history as the first ever EU commissioner who is also a person of colour.Lahbib is the daughter of Algerian immigrants who was born and grew up in the Borinage, a coal-mining and industrial region in southwestern Belgium. She must yet, like other commissioners-designate, convince the European parliament that despite some past political mishaps, she's got what it takes to become the EU commissioner for crisis management and equality, the two - rather unrelated - portfolios she has been assigned. So it is not a done deal yet.Shada Islam is a Brussels-based commentator on EU affairs.

Labour says it is committed to other overseas territories', but why? These colonial-era dreams are costing the country dearThe British empire still sends governments mad. Labour's Foreign Office minister in charge of its lasting shreds, Stephen Doughty, has granted the isolated Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean to the sovereignty of independent Mauritius. This modest act of decolonisation makes sense. But the government wants to retain a joint US-UK military base there. Why? Britain no longer rules India or Singapore. A base off India, even a shared one, is pure imperial show.Doughty has 14 other overseas territories" in his charge. Among them are Bermuda, Pitcairn, Montserrat, the Caymans, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. The union flag will still fly over them; the Royal Navy will keep guard and sing the national anthem.Simon Jenkins is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...
In a wide-ranging interview with CBS's 60 Minutes, the vice-president was questioned on where her political positions had shiftedKamala Harris defended her economic plans, refused to call Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu a close ally and said she would not meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin for peace talks if Ukraine was not also represented, during a wide-ranging sit-down interview that aired on Monday.With the presidential race between Harris and Donald Trump effectively dead-locked, Harris has launched an unusually robust media blitz, which includes popular podcasts, talk radio, a battleground state town hall, daytime television, late night shows and Monday's network sit-down on CBS's 60 Minutes prime-time election special.
