Venezuela’s Delcy Rodríguez hails ‘historic meeting’ with Donald Trump in New York
Interim president, who agreed a 65bn-barrel oil deal with the US, did not say whether she would visit her snatched predecessor, Nicolás Maduro, in jail Venezuela’s interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, has celebrated a “historic” meeting with Donald Trump in New York, posing for a smiley photo with the US president less than nine months after he ordered the abduction of her boss, Nicolás Maduro. The former foes met at a five-star hotel in Manhattan a few blocks from Trump Tower late on Tuesday, on the sidelines of the United Nations general assembly. The hotel is about 7 miles from the Brooklyn prison where Maduro has been held since he was snatched during a special forces raid on Caracas. Continue reading...

Harvey Weinstein set to be sentenced again after 6-year legal odyssey
NEW YORK: The first time Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to prison, reporters, advocates and the curious public crammed the courtroom to witness the disgraced Hollywood honcho’s #MeToo reckoning. Hours later, the world began shutting down as the COVID-19 pandemic raged. Now, after an overturned conviction and two retrials, Weinstein is set to be sentenced again on Wednesday for one of the same crimes - more than six years after his first sentencing in March 2020. Weinstein, 74, faces up to 25 years in prison for sexually assaulting a one-time TV production assistant, Miriam Haley, at his Manhattan apartment in 2006. He has already served more than six years as his case has cycled again and again through the criminal justice system. Haley gave her account of the assault at two trials. "The unthinkable was happening,” Haley testified last year, dabbing her eyes. Haley, who has also gone by the name Mimi Haleyi, is planning to speak at Weinstein’s sentencing, her lawyer, Gloria Allred, said. Weinstein will also address the court, his spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, said. The Oscar-winning "Pulp Fiction” and "Shakespeare in Love” producer was originally sentenced to 23 years in prison after a jury convicted him of assaulting Haley and raping an aspiring actress, Jessica Mann, in 2013. But New York’s highest court erased those guilty verdicts in 2024, ruling that Weinstein was prejudiced by testimony from other women whose allegations weren’t part of the case. Tried for a second time last year, Weinstein was again convicted of first-degree criminal sex act for assaulting Haley. After another retrial ended in a hung jury in May, Manhattan prosecutors dropped the rape charge rather than pursue a fourth trial after Mann said she could not bear to testify again. That decision cleared the way for Weinstein’s sentencing. Manhattan prosecutors have said they will ask for 20 years in prison - which would keep him behind bars until at least his late 80s. Weinstein’s lawyers haven’t said what sentence they’ll seek. He denies raping or sexually assaulting anyone. Once he’s sentenced, he can appeal. "I will be proven innocent. That I promise you,” Weinstein told The Hollywood Reporter in a jailhouse interview in March. Weinstein is also awaiting resentencing in a separate rape case in Los Angeles. A California appeals court upheld the 2022 conviction but threw out his original 16-year sentence because the judge had considered his New York convictions that were later thrown out as an aggravating factor. After shuffling between state prison, where he tested positive for COVID-19 early in the pandemic, and New York City’s notorious Rikers Island complex, the ailing Weinstein is now housed at a medical unit for jail inmates at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan. His health issues in recent years have included chronic myeloid leukemia, diabetes and walking difficulties that necessitate a wheelchair to get in and out of court, his lawyers said. Two years ago, he underwent emergency surgery to remove fluid on his heart and lungs.

MANHATTAN UNDER SIEGE
As Manhattan continues to experience supernatural unexplained incidents, IGN has been sent a video secretly leaked by an anonymous source at the FBC, the Federal Bureau of Control. Kept hidden from the public for decades, the FBC’s main charter is to investigate so-called "paranatural phenomena." Knowledge of their existence only came to light when the formerly secret government department released a public information campaign on how to stay safe from paranatural forces. The subject line of the leaked video’s accompanying email reads: “Ignore the FBC. We are doomed.” Shot on a mobile phone on Thomas Street, the footage appears to show a number of figures levitating and surrounded by a red light emanating from various skyscraper windows. Sources with former ties to the FBC claim these incidents are caused by the Hiss, a hostile paranatural entity that corrupts human minds and represents a significant threat to the entire population of NYC. The video’s authenticity is further supported by witness statements who claim to have seen the phenomenon firsthand. Michael Bamber, 33, a clerical worker with the NYC Port Authority, said: “I was walking to the subway when red started appearing everywhere. But I didn’t just see red, I could hear it, smell it even. It was crazy.” Another witness, Cherry Connor, 27, a deputy administrator for City Hall, said: “I was just leaving work when people started floating up into the air. They kept on making these strange sounds, like they were chanting something. Then the woman right next to me started making them. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head and then she just took off, right off the ground. Then I started running. Everyone around me was screaming. It was horrible.” Sources close to the 911 switchboard reported a massive spike in emergency calls during the phenomenon’s appearance and local hospitals were flooded with people suffering from hysteria and injuries caused by the sudden stampede of onlookers from the area. This event is the latest in a series of paranatural phenomena that has wreaked havoc on Manhattan. However, when asked for comment, the FBC completely denied the appearance of the Hiss and blamed the apparent sighting on a mass hallucination. An FBC press officer said: “Hallucinations are very common and we believe that the recent bout of mass hysteria that New Yorkers have experienced has caused a mass hallucination. The Hiss are not in fact in Manhattan. Remember - no matter what you see, just trust the FBC. Thank you.” In response to the FBC’s comments, Mr Bamber, the eyewitness to the Thomas Street incident, said: “The FBC are talking out of their f**king ass. Mass hallucination?! Bullshit! I saw the whole thing. People need to wake up. This is f**king serious.” If you have witnessed the Hiss or any of the strange phenomena in Manhattan, please contact IGN. We want to hear your story. Nothing stays contained forever. Explore a warped Manhattan on the brink of paranatural annihilation in CONTROL Resonant, a thrilling action-adventure RPG.

The art of dealing with Trump
ALL EYES ON GRACIE: Mayor Zohran Mamdani is expected to sit down with President Donald Trump at Gracie Mansion this afternoon, their third in-person meeting in less than a year and the latest wrinkle in one of the strangest relationships in American politics. Since Mamdani’s first, shockingly cordial meeting with Trump at the White House last November, political observers have scratched their heads about the democratic socialist mayor playing nice with the Republican president despite their deep disagreements on … just about everything. Ostensibly, Mamdani is putting his personal distaste for Trump aside and betting it’s best for New York City to keep things cordial so as to avoid drawing the president’s ire. But as resistance to Trump remains animating for Democrats nationally ahead of November’s midterms, Mamdani’s strategy for engaging with him stands out. Earlier today, Gov. Kathy Hochul made clear that she, for one, has no plans to meet with Trump while he’s in New York. “I speak to him on the phone whenever I need to,” she told reporters in Manhattan. Hochul, who’s facing reelection in November and tends to directly criticize Trump more frequently than Mamdani, said it was her understanding that the mayor agreed to host the president at Gracie Mansion during a previous conversation at the White House. “The mayor and [Trump] said that when he's back in town again, he would go to Gracie Mansion,” the governor said. “I don't have a Gracie Mansion to invite him to.” Still, Hochul said there’s an opportunity for Mamdani to use the Gracie confab to push Trump on releasing federal funding for New York, including for law enforcement , that she said the president’s administration has been withholding. “We have to continue fighting for what New York needs,” she said. Mamdani’s office wouldn’t say who requested today’s meeting or share specifics about the expected focus in advance, only saying the mayor will talk to Trump about “issues affecting New York City.” A Mamdani spokesperson said the mayor will elaborate on what was discussed at a post-meeting press conference that Trump isn’t expected to attend. After the appointment at Gracie, Trump is slated to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron before headlining a couple Republican fundraisers. By contrast, after his Trump tête-à-tête, Mamdani will have dinner with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who’s in the city to headline a United Nations Charter event this evening that will also feature pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, a person familiar with the plans who was granted anonymity to discuss them told Playbook. The Queens-born Trump is in town ahead of his Tuesday address to the United Nations General Assembly. Maintaining a relationship with Trump isn’t without risk for Mamdani. As Trump remains deeply unpopular amid the war in Iran and other controversies, some Democrats are privately questioning why the mayor sees a need to keep interacting with the president. But so far, Mamdani hasn’t faced any significant pushback from his hard-left base over his engagements with Trump, with leaders of the local chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America largely viewing it as the mayor acting in the city’s best interests. — Chris Sommerfeldt and Madison Fernandez From the Capitol EYES ON AI: Hochul floated requiring safeguards like an artificial intelligence “kill switch” as part of state-level interventions to address the rapidly evolving technology. During a Monday event in Manhattan rolling out next steps for enacting the RAISE Act, New York’s landmark AI safety law that is set to go into effect in January, the governor said she’ll “look closely at additional ways to build on” the legislation — including AI kill switches “if they're deemed feasible and in the best interest of our state.” The governor in recent days has vowed to take additional AI-related actions beyond the RAISE Act, but has not specified what that might look like. Her suggestion of a kill switch comes days after California Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order to explore such a requirement for AI companies’ most-advanced models. Some in the tech industry have argued implementing one is not technically feasible. Federal legislation to enact a kill switch requirement is currently stalled in Congress. When asked to expand on the prospect of requiring a kill switch, Hochul said that “all options are on the table,” but wasn’t making a commitment. “We're going to do the research and make the decisions that are thoughtful to protect New Yorkers,” she said. “We'll go as far as we need to to protect people of this state and ultimately this country in the absence of other leadership.” Read more from Madison Fernandez in POLITICO Pro . MORE BLAKEMAN MONEY: Billionaire former casino developer Steve Wynn has donated $1 million to the main super PAC supporting Republican Bruce Blakeman’s gubernatorial bid, records filed with the state Board of Elections this morning show. The committee, Strong and Safe New York, has now raised $5.3 million since July. Wynn has been a top donor to national Republican causes for over a decade. His most recent large donations in New York came last year, when he gave $361,000 to the state GOP and $500,000 to a super PAC boosting Andrew Cuomo’s mayoral bid. — Bill Mahoney FROM THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL ENDORSEMENT CORNER: Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) endorsed GOP Rep. Mike Lawler in his reelection campaign in suburban New York, Golden wrote in an opinion article published Monday. Lawler is facing a tough reelection campaign against Democrat Cait Conley in one of the biggest House battlegrounds this November. The lawmakers have previously collaborated to advance the Northeast Lobsterman Protection Act, and are both members of the centrist Problem Solvers Caucus. Golden, who is not running for reelection, was one of two House Democrats to break with the party and twice vote in favor of the Republican legislative agenda earlier in September. “Mike Lawler has been a true partner to me and a friend to fishing families he will never represent,” Golden wrote. “I strongly back him, and I hope voters send him back to work. Wherever you live, find the members who pass laws with the other party, and keep them.” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called the cross-aisle endorsement a “smoke and mirrors ploy” that “will do nothing to change the outcome of the race.” “In desperation, [Lawler] is peddling an 11th hour endorsement from a retiring Congressmember who represents an out of town district more than 400 miles away,” Jeffries said in a statement. “Mike Lawler is an unadulterated phony who has never shown bipartisan courage when it matters.” Read more from POLITICO’s Elleiana Green . ON THE AIRWAVES: With fewer than 50 days to go before Election Day, House Democrats’ main super PAC is making its first TV ad buy in support of Conley on Monday. The House Majority PAC said it is reserving $1.2 million on cable in the Hudson Valley contest. (An additional $1.2 million is going toward fighting Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr.’s re-election in New Jersey, which is also covered by the New York City media market.) HMP said earlier this year that it didn’t include the high-dollar NYC media market in its initial reservations because it was “prioritiz[ing] markets where rates increase significantly.” Republicans have been largely outpacing Democrats in NY-17 on the ad spending front, thanks to significant buys from super PACs backed by the president and House leadership. From the beginning of September through Election Day, the GOP has placed $15 million on ads across broadcast, cable, CTV and digital platforms, according to ad tracker AdImpact. The new HMP spend is the biggest from an outside Democratic group so far, but still leaves a large gap between the parties. Democrats have placed around $3 million on advertising in the period between September and Election Day, with the largest chunk coming from the Conley campaign. — Madison Fernandez IN OTHER NEWS IN OTHER NEWS: — JUDGES CASH IN: Brooklyn Democratic Party leaders have raked in $190,000 in contributions from judges and judicial candidates since 2012, raising some ethical and legal concerns. ( New York Post ) — AFFORDABILITY AHEAD: Anthony Shorris, the mayor’s new pick for the president of the New York City Economic Development Corporation, laid out a vision for solving the city’s affordability crisis that goes beyond Mamdani’s vision for five city-owned grocery stores.

Harry Styles walked eight miles in loafers. Is he ruining his feet? There’s only one way to find out
For his trek across New York City, the singer wore a pair of Prada slip-ons. I tried to do the same in my penny loafers – and soon found out why experts advise against it Last month, just before his 30-night residency at Madison Square Garden, Harry Styles was spotted walking the streets of New York. According to the paparazzi who trailed him throughout his journey, he walked eight miles – all the way from Brooklyn into Manhattan – in loafers. If, like me, you own a pair of loafers, your first thought is probably: that doesn’t sound like a good idea. On Instagram, Grazia called Styles’ shoes “perhaps the least sensible footwear for such an undertaking”. Continue reading...

Bonnie Greer obituary
Writer and critic who became known for her sharp, composed appearances on TV shows such as Late Review and Question Time The writing and broadcasting of Bonnie Greer, who has died aged 77, were driven by divided perspectives. Her technical experience across an unusual range of genres – drama, fiction, biography, memoir, documentary – informed her work as a wry and lively critic, especially on the late-night BBC2 cultural programmes Late Review and Newsnight Review from the 1990s onwards. And, having spent the first half of her life in the US and the second in the UK, she was also perfectly positioned – in an era when British writers, movie-makers and artists were making much work about and for America – to adjudicate on such creative duality, as well as the escalating Americanisation of British politics. Another asset was her connections: reviewing a David Mamet play or a Madonna album, she had worked with the former in Chicago theatre and met the latter as a young music wannabe in a Manhattan apartment share.
