Nobel Peace laureate Navi Pillay urged the United States to defend human rights and return to what she called its traditional role as a global leader.

Pillay made her comments in The Hague, where she is a judge at the International Court of Justice.

The United States announced sanctions targeting the International Criminal Court hours after Pillay was named the Peace Prize winner.

She said the timing was troubling and showed that efforts to target international criminal justice had been developing for some time.

Federal agents searched the Washington home of Ilhan Omar, a Democratic member of Congress from Minnesota.

The Justice Department said the search was carried out under a court-authorised warrant as part of an ongoing criminal investigation, but did not name Omar or explain the investigation.

News reports linked the search to a fraud inquiry about immigration paperwork filed by Omar’s late father when she was a child; officials have not confirmed that link.

Omar, who came to the United States from Somalia as a child, said the search was an attempt to target political opponents.

The Saudi-led coalition told civilians to leave an oil facility in Sanaa, Yemen's capital, ahead of a planned military operation.

The coalition said the evacuation was for civilians' safety and marked the site on a map.

Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree warned that strikes on Sanaa would bring a harsh response in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's capital.

The Houthis also told people near Saudi Aramco facilities to leave, saying those sites were legitimate targets.

A new AP-NORC poll found most Americans think Trump is profiting from the presidency in unethical or illegal ways.

About 6 in 10 U.S. adults said he is either profiting illegally or acting unethically without breaking the law.

The poll also found that many believe Trump is more focused on personal wealth than helping the country since returning to the White House.

The findings come as his family's businesses have expanded in real estate and entered cryptocurrency ventures.

A 1960 study predicted population growth would reach infinity on November 13, 2026, which its authors described as a doomsday.

Physicist Heinz von Foerster and his colleagues at the University of Illinois based the prediction on population trends stretching back 2,000 years.

They argued that human cooperation and innovation would keep accelerating growth, rather than letting it level off as it does in other species.

That prediction was wrong: population growth has slowed, and experts say the world’s fastest growth had already occurred by the early 1960s.

Milan winger Alexis Saelemaekers had surgery on his right ankle in Amsterdam on October 13.

The operation involved cleaning the joint and stabilising it, and the club said it went well.

Saelemaekers had persistent pain and reduced ankle stability, and the ankle had already been operated on in 2024.

He was injured during training on September 29, and his expected absence is about four to five months.

Kacey Musgraves welcomed James Talarico at her Dallas concert over the weekend.

Talarico is a Democrat running for a U.S. Senate seat in Texas, where he is facing Republican Ken Paxton.

Kristi Noem criticized Musgraves for hosting Talarico and said she preferred country singer Ella Langley and Paxton.

Musgraves replied on X: “I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.”

Yale researchers tested how food preferences affect learning in an experiment with 279 adults.

Participants chose four foods they strongly liked or disliked, then predicted whether each would earn positive or negative points.

The rules sometimes matched and sometimes reversed their preferences, so participants had to adjust as the task changed.

People made more accurate predictions when the rules agreed with their existing likes and dislikes.
