Former Abercrombie and Fitch CEO Mike Jefferies has been arrested and charged with 16 counts of sex trafficking and interstate prostitution in New York, with misconduct occurring between December 2008 and March 2015. The I-D-F confirmed the death of Hashem Safieddine, Hezbollah’s new leader, in an airstrike near Beirut, coinciding with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to Israel, where he urged for a ceasefire amid ongoing violence. With less than two weeks until the November 5th presidential election, polls show a tight race, with recent surveys indicating a slight lead for Kamala Harris despite Trump's recent uptick. The BRICS summit has commenced, with Russian President Vladimir Putin hosting leaders from 36 nations, while Indian Prime Minister Modi called for peace in Ukraine. Lastly, former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani has been ordered to surrender valuable possessions to two defamed Georgia election workers after a jury ruled he owes them $150 million.
