The denial follows dozens of weapons tests by North Korea, including short-range missiles that are potentially nuclear-capable and an intercontinental ballistic missile that could target the US mainland. Pyongyang has said it is testing missiles and artillery so it can “mercilessly” hit key South Korean and US targets if it chooses. North Korea has hosted traditional ally Russia in recent years and even hinted it would send workers to help rebuild Russian-held territory in Ukraine....

Comment Americans have cast more ballots ahead of Election Day than in early voting before the last midterm election, continuing a trend of increasingly relying on early voting despite strong objections from some Republicans. As of Saturday, voters had cast more than 39 million ballots, surpassing the number of early ballots cast in 2018, according to data kept by the US Elections Project. This year’s total will rise because election officials are still accepting mail-in ballots and some states allow in-person early voting on the weekend....

Doug Ford’s government is considering handing over parts of the Greenbelt Conservation Area to developers after repeatedly promising not to. Steve Clark, Ontario’s minister of municipal affairs and housing, announced Friday a 30-day consultation on the idea, which would see development in some Greenbelt areas in exchange for conservation zone development elsewhere. He said this could lead to 50,000 new homes. The Greenbelt is approximately 2 million acres of protected land, established in 2005, in the Greater Toronto and Niagara Regions....

Police claimed Monday that Bureau of Corrections Director General Gerald Bantag, who is currently suspended from his duties, was behind the killing along with his deputy security officer Ricardo Zulueta.

Interior Health says it’s trying to support, not undermine, lab assistants with a new program that provides on-the-job training for new health care workers who draw blood. The health authority’s launch of a new ‘laboratory venipuncture’ post came under fire this week from a local trained medical laboratory assistant, who raised concerns that IH was quietly lowering recruitment standards for her profession. While a medical lab assistant requires post-secondary education, the phlebotomist role will only involve on-the-job training....

Malgré l’intervention rapide de 60 sapeurs-pompiers envoyés par le Service départemental d’incendie et de secours des Alpes-Maritimes (Sdis 06), le feu s’est rapidement propagé à une zone escarpée, en pente ascendante, inaccessible.
