Mamdani win sends jitters through NYC luxury real estate market
NEW YORK — In the days after Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City last month, Jay Batra, a real estate broker in the city, felt his business take a hit.Two separate clients working with Batra to buy multimillion dollar properties in Manhattan told him they were putting their plans on pause, citing wariness about New York’s political environment, Batra told CNN.“A lot of the affluent clientele and luxury buyers have become a little more cautious in their approach,” Batra said. “The more traction (Mamdani) gained, it went from a little concern to ‘wow, where is the city going?’”Since Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist, roundly won New York’s mayoral primary in late June, several real estate professionals told CNN that high-end buyers...

Trump defends US Attorney General Pam Bondi over Epstein files
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has defended Pam Bondi, America's highest-ranking prosecutor, amid calls from the president's supporters for her to resign.In a lengthy social media post, Trump hit out at complaints from critics who have accused Attorney General Bondi of withholding more information about the death of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his so-called client list.The attacks from critics come after a memo released by Bondi's justice department last week failed to deliver what many had hoped would be major revelations in the Epstein case."Let Pam Bondi do her job," Trump wrote in all caps, encouraging his supporters to "not waste time and energy" on Epstein.The memo sent out last Monday, jointly released with the FBI, said there was...

Trump says he will hike tariffs on Canadian goods to 35%
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he would increase tariffs on neighbouring Canada to 35%.The letter, addressed to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, marks a sharp increase from the 25% tariffs which Trump imposed in March. He said these tariffs were aimed at pressuring Canada to curb fentanyl trafficking – despite limited evidence of significant flows – and to address what he described as unfair trade practices.“I must mention that the flow of Fentanyl is hardly the only challenge we have with Canada, which has many Tariff, and Non-Tariff, Policies and Trade Barriers,” Trump wrote.These new rates are expected to go into place from August 1.Canada is the US’s second-largest trading partner after Mexico. It has previously responded to earlier tariffs...

AUSTIN — Shock has turned into grief across central Texas, where at least 120 people have died from flash flooding and more than 170 are still reported as missing.Photos of those who have died, along with candles and flowers, now decorate a fence in Hill Country – a growing tribute that reflect the enormity of the disaster in the region.Victims include three friends who had gathered for the July Fourth weekend, 8-year sisters who were at summer camp and a 91-year-old grandmother.Authorities said they were reviewing lists of those still unaccounted for, but that these tallies can often fluctuate in the immediate aftermath of a disaster.Texas authorities have set up disaster recovery centres for those affected, offering survivors a hub to register for federal assistance and other...

More than 160 people are still missing after deadly Texas floods
AUSTIN — Over 160 people are still believed to be missing in Texas following deadly flash floods which killed more than 100 people during the weekend, the state’s governor said on Tuesday.The number tripled after local officials set up a hotline that families could call to report people believed to be missing.Many of those missing were likely staying in Texas’ Hill Country without officially registering at a camp or hotel, according to state governor Greg Abbot.

Netanyahu plays into Trump’s hopes for Middle East peace, nominates him for a Nobel Prize
WASHINGTON — When Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at the White House Monday for dinner, he came bearing what has become the ultimate host gift for President Donald Trump: a letter nominating him for a Nobel Peace Prize.The award has become Trump’s ultimate fixation, one he says is well deserved for his efforts to end conflicts around the globe, including the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.A lasting resolution to that 21-month conflict will depend, in part, on Netanyahu’s willingness to accept a deal that stops the fighting entirely – something Trump planned to press him on during Monday’s dinner in the White House Blue Room.Before the meal was served, however, Netanyahu was quick to burnish Trump’s peace-making abilities, even as negotiators were still...

BRICS leaders slam tariffs and Iran conflict at summit in Brazil
RIO DE JANEIRO — The BRICS group of nations condemned the increase in tariffs and the recent Iran conflict, but refrained from pointing a finger at US President Donald Trump at their summit in Brazil on SundayThe group’s declaration, which also took aim at Israeli military actions in the Middle East, spared its founding member Russia from criticism and mentioned Ukraine — against which Moscow continues to wage its all-out war since early 2022 — only once.The bloc issued a declaration in which they raised “serious concerns” about the rise of tariffs, saying they were “inconsistent with WTO (World Trade Organisation) rules.”In an indirect swipe at the US, they said those restrictions ”threaten to reduce global trade, disrupt global supply chains and introduce...
