Satellite images of the Ream naval base in Cambodia reveal what appear to be two 1,500-tonne Chinese corvettes docked alongside a Chinese-built pier that could handle much bigger warships, seemingly validating concerns that Cambodia would allow the Chinese to turn Ream into a base for the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) despite constant denials from the Cambodian government. BBC analysts said the Chinese warships appear to be Type 065A guided-missile corvettes, a mainstay of the PLAN’s coastal and island fleets. China began cranking out large numbers of these corvettes in 2013 and deploying them to every theater of PLAN operations.…

Former President Donald Trump took a three-point lead in a head-to-head matchup and a two point lead in a full field in Wisconsin, according to a Wednesday survey by Quinnipiac, a pollster that is historically biased towards Democrats. The poll is significant because Wisconsin is a swing state that likely is a must-win for the Harris campaign. If Trump wins Wisconsin, Harris’s path to 270 becomes nearly impossible. Trump leads in Wisconsin by two points: Trump: 48% Harris: 46% Stein: 1% Oliver: 1% The poll sampled 1,073 likely voters from October 3-7 with a margin of error of three percentage points. The poll…

(Reuters) – San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President Mary Daly on Wednesday said she “fully” supported the U.S. central bank’s half-of-a-percentage-point interest-rate cut last month, and said one or two more rate cuts this year are likely if the economy evolves as she expects. “The labor market has downshifted,” Daly said in an interview with KTVB anchor Carolyn Holly at Boise State University, adding she is now “quite confident” inflation is headed toward the Fed’s 2% goal.With no change to the Fed policy rate, which the central bank had kept in the 5.25%-5.50% range since July 2023, the real rate…
Donald Trump, speaking at an event commemorating the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel, said Monday that it is another event — his own election or defeat in November — that will mark “the most important day in the history of Israel.” “If you want to know the truth, I believe that. I think you believe that, too,” Trump said to applause, casting a 2024 win by Harris as an existential threat to Israel. “If we don’t win this election there is a tremendous consequence for everything.” The former president’s remarks at his golf club in Miami came…

Luna went on to win the seat in the general election. Braddock, 41, was extradited from the Philippines, where he moved after the primary, on a…
NEW YORK — Scandal-fatigued voters will give former Gov. Andrew Cuomo a frosty reception if he runs for mayor to replace the indicted Eric Adams, a strategist for one of his potential Democratic rivals wrote Tuesday in a memorandum. The memo from Alyssa Cass, an adviser to ex-New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer, details vulnerabilities that could hinder a Cuomo comeback — a bid-rigging scandal that roiled the Cuomo administration a decade ago, and his management of nursing home residents during Covid, for instance. “Before Cuomo even dips his toe into the race, the electoral water is ice cold,” Cass…
