Israeli airstrikes Saturday in central Beirut killed at least 15 people, officials said, as the once-rare attacks on the heart of Lebanon's capital continued without warning while diplomats scrambled to broker a cease-fire. Assembly Election Results Live Updates Maharashtra Election Results Jharkhand Election Results Bypoll Election Results Lebanon's Health Ministry said 63 people were wounded in the strikes, which were the fourth in central Beirut in less than a week. The escalation comes after U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein traveled to the region in pursuit of a deal to end months of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah that has erupted into full-on war. Israeli attacks have killed more than 3,500 people in Lebanon, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry. The fighting has displaced about 1.2 million people, or a quarter of Lebanon's population. On the Israeli side, about 90 soldiers and nearly 50 civilians have been killed by bombardment in northern Israel and the fighting. An eight-story building is turned to rubble The 4 a.m. strikes destroyed an eight-story building in central Beirut. Hezbollah legislator Amin Shiri said no Hezbollah officials were inside. The attack stripped the facades from some nearby buildings and crumpled cars.

Israel's military did not comment on the casualties. Also Saturday, a drone strike killed two people and injured three in the southern Lebanese port city of Tyre, according to the Lebanese state-run National News Agency. Mohammed Bikai, spokesperson for the Fatah Palestinian faction in the Tyre area, said those killed were Palestinian refugees from nearby al-Rashidieh camp who were out fishing. Despite a warning last month by Israel's army to avoid Lebanon's southern coast, "you can't tell someone who needs to eat that you can't fish," Bikai said. The Health Ministry said other airstrikes killed eight people, including four children, in the eastern town of Shmustar, five others in the southern village of Roumin, and another five people in the northeastern village of Budai. Sticking points in cease-fire talks Two Western diplomatic officials on Saturday described disputed points between Israel and Lebanon in cease-fire negotiations. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the talks. The current proposal calls for a two-month cease-fire during which Israeli forces would withdraw from Lebanon and Hezbollah would end its armed presence along the southern border south of the Litani River. Thousands more Lebanese army troops would patrol the border area with U.N. peacekeepers, and an international committee would monitor the deal's implementation. The officials said Israel wanted more guarantees that Hezbollah's weapons are removed from the border area. Israeli officials have said they would not agree to a deal that did not explicitly grant them freedom to strike in Lebanon if they believe Hezbollah is violating it. Lebanese officials have said the inclusion of such a term would violate their country's sovereignty. And Hezbollah leader Naim Kassem said this week that the militant group would not agree to a deal that doen'ts not entail a "complete and comprehensive end to the aggression." Lebanon and Israel also dispute which countries would sit on the monitoring committee. The officials said Israel refused to allow France, which has been close with Lebanon since its colonial rule there ended. Lebanon refused to have Britain, a close ally of Israel. Deadly strikes in Gaza and people trapped in rubble In northern Gaza, the Health Ministry said at least 80 people, total, were killed on Thursday and Friday, including near the Kamal Adwan and Al-Ahli hospitals. It said dozens of people were trapped under the rubble. Israel's army said it wasn't aware of a strike near Kamal Adwan, and it didn't respond to questions about the other attacks. On Saturday, at least six people, including three children and two women, were killed in the southern city of Khan Younis, according to Associated Press reporters and staff at Nasser Hospital. "Suddenly we woke up to dust, smoke and a fire," said one grieving father, Ahmad Ghassan. "We found him dead and his brother injured." Another father wept as he carried his child's body in a bloodstained sheet. The Palestinian death toll from the 13-month-long war surpassed 44,000 this week, according to the Health Ministry, which doesn't distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count. It has said more than half the dead are women and children. The Israeli military says it has killed over 17,000 militants, without providing evidence. The war began when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting another 250. Around 100 hostages are still inside Gaza, at least a third believed to be dead. The Israeli offensive in Gaza has devastated wide areas, and around 90% of Gaza's 2.3 million people have been displaced, often multiple times. Hundreds of thousands live in tent camps with little food, water or basic services. At least two women were shot dead Saturday while waiting in line for bread in central Deir al-Balah, relatives and witnesses told the AP. It was unclear who shot them and why. Reactions continue to the ICC warrants Conditions in Gaza prompted this week's decision by the International Criminal Court to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant based on "reasonable grounds" that they bear responsibility for a war crime and crimes against humanity. The court also issued a warrant for top Hamas official Mohammed Deif, though Israel claims it killed him. Netanyahu condemned the warrant. Global reactions have been mixed. The U.K. reiterated its support for the court but stopped short of saying whether it would arrest Netanyahu if he visits. Russia doesn't recognize the court's jurisdiction and hasn't commented. The U.S. also doesn't recognize the court's jurisdiction and has rejected its decision. Nomi Bar-Yaacov, an associate fellow in the International Security Program at London's Chatham House think tank, said that even if Netanyahu won't be able to travel to many European countries because of risk of arrest, he'll go to the United States. "That will only strengthen his ties to Donald Trump," she said.

That’s the rent, take it or leave itAbout 15 minutes before this match Emiliano Martínez was introduced on to the pitch for a touch of grandstanding, to commemorate the Argentinian becoming the first goalkeeper to win the Yashin Trophy twice. Then, about an hour later, Martínez exhibited quite why he is held in such high esteem, not that Aston Villa supporters required a reminder. Martínez’s fantastic, impulsive save to thwart Francisco Conceição midway through the second half denied Juventus the chance to seize the lead. Goalline technology showed Martínez kept the ball out by a few millimetres, a shaving of the starry Champions League ball remaining on and not over the Villa goalline. Juventus, regulars on this stage compared to Villa, got the point they probably deserved. The Juventus captain, Manuel Locatelli, stuck out a left boot to prevent John McGinn from converting a Leon Bailey cutback and in the first half Lucas Digne rattled the crossbar with a free-kick from the edge of the box. For Villa, a draw against the Serie A team will surely be seen as credible, but Unai Emery’s side are now winless in seven matches. The last time Villa went seven games without a win was under Dean Smith four years ago, when they – just about – escaped relegation, when McGinn and Ezri Konsa, an unused substitute here, were in the starting lineup. Emery has not gone seven games without a win since being dismissed by Arsenal in November 2019, a defeat at home to Eintracht Frankfurt, when Martínez was in goal for Emery, the final straw of a difficult run. Emery went six games without a win at the end of last season, when qualification for this competition had been rubber-stamped. For Villa, there is no need to panic, but a tricky run could feasibly be extended to eight matches by the time they head home from Chelsea on Sunday. On the eve of this game the Juventus manager, Thiago Motta, accused Unai Emery of bluffing after his Villa counterpart, who was Motta’s coach in the twilight of his career at Paris Saint-Germain, suggested he would be happy with a point. Motta insisted it was a poker face on Emery’s part and perhaps because Juventus arrived here so light on numbers. Juventus flew to England with a 17-man squad, minus Dusan Vlahovic, their star striker. Douglas Luiz, who has struggled since swapping Birmingham for Turin, was absent from the team sheet because of a muscle injury. The Serie A club named six substitutes, two of which were goalkeepers. Villa, meanwhile, welcomed back Boubacar Kamara into the base of midfield and Emery pushed John McGinn forward into a role behind Ollie Watkins. Morgan Rogers operated off the left flank. There was the familiar rally cry from Emery in his programme notes at the prospect of another memorable evening against a European superpower, even if their reputation has faded so slightly in recent years. Regardless of Juventus’s rich and storied past and Emery was adamant Villa had to be much improved to take anything from the game. Leon Bailey made a fast start, cutting in off the right flank to fire a shot at goal but this match was stodgy for almost all 46 first-half minutes. Villa’s frustrations were typified by the moment Youri Tielemans, the recipient of an early yellow card, was left hopping on the spot after the line to Watkins was snipped by an alert Federico Gatti in the Juventus defence.

Until Watkins registered the first shot on target, spinning in the box after seamlessly latching on to Kamara’s cannoned effort. Watkins swivelled neatly and sent a left-foot shot at goal off his laces, forcing the Juventus goalkeeper, Di Gregorio, into a fine save. From the leftovers of the subsequent corner Matty Cash saw a stinging effort blocked. Lucas Digne bent a free-kick on to the crossbar after Pierre Kalulu, a walking yellow card, was eventually booked by the referee for crunching Watkins. At the other end Francisco Conceição moseyed down the right flank before squeezing a weak shot at the near post, allowing Martínez to gather comfortably. Conceição was busy and proved difficult to get to grips with, his cross a few minutes into the second half the trigger for a handball shout against Pau Torres. Juventus hounded in packs. Khéphren Thuram sent a shot wide after Teun Koopmeiners shifted the ball infield after seizing on a loose pass by Bailey, who was almost punished for his high-wire act in keeping the ball in on the opposite touchline.Juventus’s big chance dropped on 65 minutes. Koopmeiners’s corner zoomed towards the back post, Conceição eluded Rogers and headed goalwards unmarked. For a split second, the Portuguese appeared to peel away in celebration, before realising Martínez had somehow prevented his header from going over the line. The goalkeeper plunged down to his right to repel the ball with his right glove, goalline technology showing he did just enough. Villa supporters crooned Martínez’s name in unison. Three minutes of second-half stoppage time had been and gone when Morgan Rogers thought he had snatched victory with surely the final kick. Teun Koopmeiners conceded a cheap foul on halfway, allowing Villa one last chance to pump the ball into the box. Diego Carlos rose to challenge the Juventus goalkeeper, Michele Di Gregorio, in pursuit of the high ball but it ran free and Rogers simply hooked the ball into an empty net. A VAR review apparently penalised the Villa centre-back. As Carlos headed down the tunnel, he offered the Spanish referee, Jesús Gil Manzano, a filthy look.Brand Bharat is a statement of authenticity, says External Affairs minister S JaishankarAngel Yin and Jeeno Thitikul take a three-shot lead heading into the final round of the CME Group Tour Championship, with England's Charley Hull four shots behind. Yin threatened to build a commanding lead on day three at Tiburon Golf Club, Florida until Thitikul finished with an eagle and a birdie for a nine-under 63 to share the lead ahead of Sunday's final round. Yin shot 69 after another day of big putts and one chip-in from some 60 feet for eagle on the par-five sixth put her comfortably ahead. She holed a 30-footer on the eighth hole, another birdie from about 25 feet on the ninth hole and another one from the 30-foot range on the 12th. Thitikul seemed to be an afterthought until she lit it up on the back nine. The Thai started the back nine with three straight bogeys, but she made up quick ground at the end with her eagle on the reachable par-five 17th and a birdie on the closing hole. Trending The birdie briefly gave her the lead until Yin made birdie on the 17th to join her tied on 15-under at the top of the leaderboard, three shots ahead of Ruoning Yin, who birdied her last two for a third-round 66. England's Hull shot seven birdies as her round of 66 left her at 11-under alongside Narin An of South Korea.

Until a summery August day, Holocaust survivor Helena Stefaniak wasn’t sure she’d ever see her sister again. Stefaniak and her sister, Barbara Rychlowski, lived in Warsaw, Poland, when Nazis invaded in 1939. After five years under German occupation, she was abducted off the streets and sent to a forced labor camp. Rychlowski was captured soon after and sent to a different camp. They wouldn’t see each other again until 1947, reuniting and immigrating to the United States. After a test of survival, it was time to enjoy life. A Polish-American soldier had convinced his family to sponsor Stefaniak’s move. Stefaniak found herself with her husband, John, in Connecticut, and Rychlowski was in New Jersey. Helena Stefaniak, right, and her sister, Barbara, during a reunion in New Jersey They talked on the phone every day, traveling when they could. However, they grew older. Come 2024, Stefaniak was 100 and her sister was 96. It was hard to travel. Stefaniak’s eyes grew worse, and she moved to Helena to join her daughter. Stefaniak grieved, her daughter Helen Fee remembered. As much as it hurt, Stefaniak accepted she may not see her sister again. And then Fee thought of AARP. AARP, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting older Americans, works with Wish of a Lifetime. Since its inception in 2008, nearly 3,000 gifts have been given, aiming to help America’s elders accomplish dreams. After a nomination, AARP agreed to support Stefaniak. Fee still remembers her mother’s reaction to the news. “I think I have a surprise for you,” Fee had told Stefaniak. It took some time before her mother understood, but the tears came. “My sister,” Stefaniak wept. “My sister.” Helena, 52, and Barbara, 48, in 1976 visiting Poland for first time since WWII. On AARP's dime, Stefaniak and Fee spent three days in Newark, New Jersey. The reunion was at a hotel, not far from where Rychlowski lived. For a long time, the sisters didn’t speak, Fee said. They held each other as tightly as they could. “I never thought I’d see you again,” Stefaniak told her little sister in Polish. The next days were spent shopping, cooking and talking, talking, talking, Fee said. Neither sister could travel independently anymore, so the chance to go into the world was cherished fun, she said. A fellow immigrant family Stefaniak had supported in Connecticut drove to meet her, bringing a hoard of homemade pierogi and other Polish foods. A good portion now sits in Fee’s freezer — quality Polish food is hard to find in Montana, Fee said with a smile. Their goodbye was uneventful. “I’m glad I got to see you one last time,” Stefaniak said, matter-of-fact. And then, she went home. Helena Stefaniak, left, sits with her daughter Helen Fee on Nov. 21 during an AARP celebration of her "Wish of a Lifetime" being granted, where she was reunited with her sister. Stefaniak, 100, is a survivor of the Holocaust. On Thursday, at an AARP celebration of the completed wish, Fee said just thinking about it brings her to tears. It was hard to describe why. For a time, Stefaniak and Rychlowski were each other’s only family, she said. Their father died in a concentration camp, she said. The sisters witnessed suffering and horrors, and yet strangers would have no idea. Stefaniak’s grandchildren know she survived the Holocaust, but it's not part of their view of her. She’s simply Grandma. The AARP featured multiple speakers, including a social worker who handled Stefaniak’s wish, Connor Downer. They were moved by the sisters final hug, and said they were honored to witness something “distance never destroyed.” Cake was served, and Stefaniak was given a picture book detailing the trip. She cradled the book in her hands and turned the pages. She’d see it later with her magnifying glass, she and family joked. “I never thought this could happen,” Stefaniak said. “To the people that organized this ... Thank you.” Christine Compton is a reporter for the Helena Independent Record.

Lawsuit alleges Linda McMahon enabled sexual abuse of children
Nebraska builds big lead, holds off Boston College in Pinstripe BowlAston Villa had a stoppage-time goal disallowed as they drew 0-0 with Juventus in the Champions League. Morgan Rogers looked to have given Unai Emery’s side another famous win when he slammed a loose ball home at the death, but referee Jesus Gil Manzano ruled Diego Carlos to have fouled Juve goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the goal was chalked off. It was a disappointment for Villa, who remain unbeaten at home in their debut Champions League campaign and are still in contention to qualify automatically for the last 16. A very controversial finish at Villa Park 😲 Morgan Rogers' late goal is ruled out for a foul on Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the match ends 0-0 ❌ 📺 & — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) Emiliano Martinez had earlier displayed why he was named the best goalkeeper in the world as his wonder save kept his side level in the second half. The Argentina international paraded his two Yashin Trophies on the pitch before kick-off at Villa Park and then showed why he won back-to-back FIFA awards when he denied Francisco Conceicao. Before Rogers’ moment of drama in the fourth minute of added time, the closest Villa came to scoring was in the first half when Lucas Digne’s free-kick hit the crossbar. But a draw was a fair result which leaves Villa out of the top eight on goal difference and Juventus down in 19th. Before the game Emery called Juventus one of the “best teams in the world, historically and now”, but this was an Italian side down to the bare bones. Only 14 outfield players made the trip from Turin, with striker Dusan Vlahovic among those who stayed behind. The opening 30 minutes were forgettable before the game opened up. Ollie Watkins, still chasing his first Champions League goal, had Villa’s first presentable chance as he lashed an effort straight at Di Gregorio. Matty Cash then had a vicious effort from the resulting corner which was blocked by Federico Gatti and started a counter-attack which ended in Juventus striker Timothy Weah. Villa came closest to breaking the deadlock at the end of the first half when Digne’s 20-yard free-kick clipped the top of the crossbar and went over. Martinez then produced his brilliant save just after the hour. A corner made its way through to the far post where Conceicao was primed to head in at the far post, but Martinez sprawled himself across goal to scoop the ball away. How has he kept that one out?! 🤯 Emi Martinez with an INCREDIBLE save to keep it goalless at Villa Park ⛔️ 📺 & — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) Replays showed most of the ball went over the line, but the Argentinian got there with millimetres to spare. At the other end another fine goal-line block denied John McGinn as Manuel Locatelli got his foot in the way with Di Gregorio beaten. The game looked to be petering out until a last-gasp free-kick saw Rogers slam home, but whistle-happy official Gil Manzano halted the celebrations by ruling the goal out.
