- US vice president Kamala Harris engaged in a combative interview with Fox News on Wednesday, sparring with broadcaster Bret Baier on immigration and shifting policy positions while asserting that if elected, she would not represent a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency.
Ms Harris’s interview marked her first foray onto the network, which is popular with conservative viewers, as she looked to broaden her outreach to Republican-leaning voters with less than three weeks until election day. #KamalaHarris #foxnews #BretBaier

- 🎧In the News #Podcast : 'Where are all the billionaires?' - They expected high-profile speakers at a packed Dublin conference – they found a small room in a hotel with 25 people and were left with large bills.
Last February, the Cycle of Life Global Forum was billed as an international conference to help eradicate FGM. In exchange for large sums of money, attendees from as far away as Kenya and the US were expecting to hear from high-profile speakers such as Richard Branson and Auma Obama.
But what greeted them was far more underwhelming.
The event was organised by Sean Collins-McCarthy, a self-described “Social Entrepreneur, Strategy Advisor, Filmmaker and Media Pioneer”. Irish Times journalist Olivia Kelly investigated and tells In the News what went on behind the scenes at Cycle of Life. Listen to In the News wherever you get your podcasts

- Millions are without power in Florida after Hurricane Milton hammered the US state. Hurricane Milton is now moving off the east coast of Florida though it is still producing damaging hurricane-force winds and heavy rainfall in east-central Florida, according to the latest update from the US National Hurricane Center (NHC).
In an update at 5am local time, the NHC warned there is a danger of life-threatening storm surge along the coast from east-central Florida northward to southern Georgia, where a storm surge warning remains in place.
“Damaging hurricane-force winds, especially in gusts, will continue for a few more hours in east-central and northeastern Florida. Residents are urged to remain in an interior room and away from windows,” it said.
The NHC said heavy rainfall across the central to northern Florida Peninsula throughout the morning brings the risk of considerable flash flooding along with moderate-to-major river flooding. Video: Reu...

The MV Shingle was deliberately sunk in Killala Bay near Sligo, creating a new underwater habitat for marine life and a diving destination for enthusiasts. The project marks a significant milestone in Irish maritime conservation, turning a symbol of illegal activity into an environmental asset.
