| Civilian killed in Israel as fighting in Gaza continues into second day Posted: 12 Nov 2018 11:54 PM PST  A man was killed in the Israeli city of Ashkelon late on Monday by a rocket fired by Palestinian militants in Gaza, becoming the first civilian casualty of the most serious fighting between Israel and Hamas since 2014. The Israeli military said around 400 rockets and mortars had been fired from Gaza since Monday afternoon and that Israeli warplanes had carried out more than a hundred airstrikes in response to the fire. "What we're dealing with is a massive barrage of rockets aimed at Israeli civilians," said Lt Col Jonathan Conricus, an Israeli military spokesman. The 40-year-old civilian was killed when a rocket struck a building in the coastal city of Ashkelon, according to Israeli media. Two women in the same building were seriously injured.

His body was reportedly found by neighbours after the police had already left the scene. Hamas said it would begin firing more long-range missiles towards the more distant cities of Ashdod and Beer Sheva if Israel continued its airstrikes.

In the next few hours, what our enemy can't expect will follow," the group said. Israel said it was targeting military positions belonging to Hamas and other smaller Palestinian factions like Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). Four Palestinian fighters had been killed inside Gaza, according to Palestinian media reports early on Tuesday. There were no reports of civilian casualties inside Gaza. The death toll rose to six by late morning on Tuesday, but it was unclear who the victims were. Israeli warplanes also blew up a building belonging to al-Aqsa Television, a Hamas channel which Israel said was "a strategic terror target" because it broadcast violent propaganda against Israelis. Hamas decried the attack as an effort to suppress coverage of the situation in Gaza. Children in both Gaza and southern Israel spent a sleepless night as aircraft roared overheard and the sky was filled with the explosions of rockets and interceptor missiles. Schools was cancelled Tuesday for children in Gaza and in Israeli towns near the border.

"The kids hear the bombing, that's the worst part," said one father in Gaza. The UN and Egypt were working to try to broker a ceasefire but by Tuesday morning the fighting was continuing after a brief lull overnight. "The escalation in the past 24 hours is extremely dangerous and reckless," said Nickolay Mladenov, the UN envoy for Israeli-Palestinian peace. "No effort must be spared to reverse the spiral of violence." Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, was due to hold a meeting of his security cabinet to discuss the situation. Israel estimates that Hamas and its allies have around 20,000 mortars and rockets, meaning that they could continue firing at the current rate for weeks. "Unfortunately, they are not anywhere near the end of their capabilities," said Lt Col Conricus. The rapid rate of rocket fire is believed to be an effort to overwhelm Israel's Iron Dome missile defence system, which has been largely successful intercepting rockets in recent years. "Iron dome so far has been phenomenal but even it is not hermetic and we can't be under assumption it will intercept everything," Lt Col Conricus said. The Israeli military said it has sent additional forces to the Gaza border but had not yet called up the reserves, usually a sign that Israel is expecting a large-scale conflict. Residents in Gaza said that Israel appeared to be launching warning strikes with drones against large buildings. They then gave people several minutes to clear the area before striking the buildings with larger bombs from F-16 fighter jets.

| Despite restrictions, digital spending hits record in US midterms Posted: 13 Nov 2018 05:59 AM PST  Even as online platforms tightened rules for political ads, digital spending set new records in the 2018 US midterm elections and appears poised for further growth in 2020. Digital media campaign spending rose 2,400 percent from the 2014 midterms to $1.8 billion, roughly 20 percent of the total $8.9 billion in ad spending, according to preliminary estimates from the research firm Borrell Associates. Online spending, much of it on social networks like Facebook, has been a significant factor in campaigns for a decade, but tighter rules imposed by digital giants in the wake of the 2016 election could have curbed some of that growth.

"So by pleas I assumed their plan was to indict me," Corsi said in a telephone interview, adding he was not given any information about the likely basis for any charge against him. David Gray, Corsi's attorney, also declined to comment. Corsi's remarks come a day after he grabbed headlines with a livestream posted to YouTube, in which he said he expected to be criminally charged after two months of cooperation with Mueller's probe.

During an emergency hearing in the lawsuit brought Sunday by Scott's campaign, his lawyers asked Judge Jack Tuter to impound ballots and machines in Broward County, citing concerns about Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes's handling of the count, given her past convictions for violating elections law and her office's failures to report vote counts since last Tuesday's election. Take away the concerns of the citizens, take away the concerns of the public that this election process will be protected," said Scott attorney Jason Zimmerman.

| Michelle Obama on Trump: 'You don’t get results when you go low' Posted: 14 Nov 2018 07:41 AM PST  When they go low, Michelle Obama still goes high. Though she's no longer America's first lady, Obama continues to use her voice to inspire people, and as she kicked off her Becoming book tour this week she reminded everyone how important it is to take the high road. In an interview with CBS This Morning's Gayle King, Obama explained why "going low" and behaving like Donald Trump has in the White House won't work in the end. "Going low means you're operating from your place of emotion. It doesn't necessarily mean you're operating from a place of results," she explained. "More often than not, you don't get results when you go low. You just get your attitude out." "Going low means you're operating from your place of emotion. You know? It doesn't necessarily mean you're operating from a place of results... And oftentimes, more often than not, you don't get results when you go low." — Former FLOTUS @MichelleObama https://t.co/g0mCCQgidP pic.twitter.com/O7y7XHsxyK — CBS This Morning (@CBSThisMorning) November 14, 2018 Obama then went on to address Trump more closely, calling out how presidents especially have a responsibility to carefully consider each word and action. SEE ALSO: Michelle Obama says she can 'never forgive' Donald Trump "When you're in the White House and you have that platform and that responsibility where every word matters, you're often thinking — or at least Barack and I often thought — 'Is what we're about to say going to help?' Is it going to move the needle forward? Or is it just going to make us feel vindicated in the moment?'" "You learn that vindication in the moment is so short-term," she said. "Going 'high' doesn't mean you don't feel and have feelings and that you don't express feelings, that you don't acknowledge hurt or pain or anger," she went on. "That's not what going high is. Going high means you have that feeling and how do you put that feeling in the world and how do you do that responsibly?'" And though Obama has experienced her fair share of challenges throughout the course of her eight years in the White House and since leaving, she still holds her motto close to her heart and feels optimistic about the country's future. "I lived in the country. I traveled the country. I saw the heart of who we are… People have issues. But everybody's working for the same thing. The same goal. And I got to see that part of America." — @MichelleObama tells @GayleKing https://t.co/g0mCCQgidP pic.twitter.com/Z1CXtBsebf — CBS This Morning (@CBSThisMorning) November 14, 2018 "I lived in the country. I traveled the country. I saw the heart of who we are. Forget race or party or ethnicity or gender," she said. "[Whether] people agree with us or not, people were kind, people are worried, people have issues. But everybody's working for the same thing. The same goal. And I got to see that part of America."

| 150 killed in battle for Yemen's Hodeida as global alarm grows Posted: 12 Nov 2018 03:01 PM PST  At least 150 people have been killed in 24 hours of clashes in the Yemeni port city of Hodeida, medics said Monday, as Britain's top diplomat visited the Gulf seeking to boost international calls for a ceasefire. Government loyalists supported by a Saudi-led coalition are fighting to oust the Iran-backed Huthi rebels from the strategic Red Sea city, whose docks are a lifeline to 14 million Yemenis at risk of starvation. A Hodeida resident reported an ebb in fighting around the city by Monday evening, but UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned of a possible "catastrophic situation" if the port is destroyed.

| Teams 'look for skulls' in ashes of California's deadliest wildfire Posted: 13 Nov 2018 03:52 PM PST  The intensified effort to locate victims came on the sixth day of a blaze that incinerated over 7,000 homes and other buildings, including most of the town of Paradise in the Sierra foothills of rural Butte County about 175 miles (280 km) north of San Francisco. County Sheriff Kory Honea said 228 people were listed as missing, and his office also was conducting "well-being checks" on nearly 1,300 individuals whose loved ones had reported concern for their whereabouts. By Tuesday, the killer blaze dubbed the Camp Fire had blackened 125,000 acres (50,500 hectares) of drought-parched scrub and brush, up 8,000 acres from the night before, but crews had carved containment lines around nearly a third of the fire's expanding perimeter.
