Minnesota House back to full strength after assassination

The Minnesota House will soon return to full strength under an unusual power-sharing agreement that forces both parties to work together, following a special election to fill the seat left vacant when the chamber’s top Democrat was assassinated. Democrat Xp Lee won Tuesday’s special election with 61 per cent of the vote, according to unofficial results. After the results are certified and he’s sworn in, he’ll fill the seat that was held by state Representative Melissa Hortman until she and her husband were killed in their Brooklyn Park home in June by a man disguised as a police officer.

Another house collapses into surf

A beachfront stilt home along the Outer Banks in North Carolina has collapsed into the surf, bringing the total number of houses claimed by the Atlantic Ocean to 12 in the past five years. The two-story, wood-shingled home at the north end of Hatteras Island collapsed on Tuesday afternoon, littering the sand with nail-studded debris. The house was unoccupied, said Mike Barber, a spokesman for the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

Israel pushes deeper into Gaza City

Israeli troops and tanks have pushed deeper into Gaza City as more people fled the devastated area, and strikes cut off phone and internet services, making it harder for Palestinians to summon ambulances during the military’s new offensive. Meanwhile, the Palestinian death toll in the Israel-Hamas war surpassed 65,000, local health officials said. The Israeli military said air force and artillery units had struck the city more than 150 times in the last few days, ahead of ground troops moving in.

Ukraine expects to get $3.5 billion to buy US weapons

Ukraine expects there will be around $3.5 billion by next month in a fund to buy weapons from the United States and help sustain its more than three-year fight against Russia’s all-out invasion, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said. The financial arrangement known as the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List, or PURL, pools contributions from NATO members, except the United States, to purchase American weapons, munitions and equipment. “We received more than $2 billion from our partners specifically for the PURL program,“ Zelensky said at a joint news conference in Kyiv with visiting European Parliament President Roberta Metsola. “We will receive additional money in October. I think we will have somewhere around $3.5-3.6 billion.”
