  • Harris leads in Trump state

    Presidential candidate Kamala Harris leads in the latest and final opinion poll before the Iowa caucuses, writes CNN.

    Harris has 47 percent of the vote, compared to Trump’s 44 percent.

    The numbers are within the margin of error, which otherwise indicates that it is very even between the candidates.

    But the earlier poll showed 47 percent support for Trump and 43 percent for Harris.

    Trump won the state in both the 2016 and 2020 elections.

    Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American woman in Congress, refuses to stand behind Kamala Harris, The Guardian reports.

    She is the only one in the high-profile group called “The Squad” who does not, because she is critical of Harris and the Democrats’ actions regarding the war in Gaza.

    At a Michigan caucus on Friday, she urged voters to vote across the board — rather than vote specifically for Harris.

    A shooting has occurred at an apartment door in Hallunda in Botkyrka municipality, south of Stockholm.

    The alarm came in at 01:03 on Sunday night.

    According to initial information to the police, several people were in the apartment at the time.

    – No one has been injured, says Jari Kalliorinne, officer on duty at the police.

    He does not want to comment on how many shots were fired into the apartment.

    The place has been cordoned off and a major operation is underway in the area, including search dogs and a police helicopter.

  • Drugs and weapons seized in Diddy’s prison

    Federal authorities have seized drugs, homemade weapons and electronic devices after a search of the MCD Brooklyn prison in New York where Sean Combs is being held awaiting trial, writes The Guardian.

    The hip-hop star better known as Diddy is charged with sex trafficking, extortion and sex crimes after several serious allegations of, among other things, trafficking and rape. He denies all the accusations.

    The search should have nothing to do with Diddy, but was “planned to ensure the safety and security of staff and inmates.”

    The prison, which holds 1,200 people, has a reputation for violence, understaffing and strange deaths. This summer it was again in the spotlight when two men were stabbed to death. Five prisoners were later charged with murder.

    But now new evidence shows that the man was murdered by a man unknown to him, whom he first invited to drink beer with him at the campsite, reports BBC.

    The same-age man was arrested after his DNA was found on a beer can at the crime scene and is now charged with murder, Montana police said.

    Among other things, he allegedly attacked his victim with an axe.

    The man has confessed to the murder. The motive is not yet clear.

    Six people, including four children, have been injured in an attack on a polio vaccination center in Gaza, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

    “Extremely disturbing reports have reached the WHO that the center in northern Gaza was hit on Saturday while parents were taking their children there,” WHO Secretary-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on X without going into who was behind the attack.

    He writes that the incident took place in an area where a humanitarian pause had been agreed to allow vaccination.

    A representative of the Gaza Civil Defense has accused Israel of being behind the attack, something denied by Israel’s military (IDF):

    “Contrary to claims, an initial review has shown that the IDF did not strike the area at the time indicated.”

    The WHO resumed the second round of vaccinations in northern Gaza on Saturday after earlier being forced to halt them due to Israeli attacks.
