First polls close as voters decide control of US Congress
'I Voted' stickers rest on the top of a ballot box inside a polling location in Modesto, California.. (Alex Edelman/Getty Images/AFP) WASHINGTON: The first polls began to close in parts of Indiana and Kentucky on Tuesday (Nov 6) as Americans cast votes at the end of a divisive campaign to decide whether Donald Trump's fellow Republicans maintain their grip on the US Congress. The remainder of the polling locations in Indiana and Kentucky, and in half a dozen other states, will close in another hour. But it could be hours before the winners are determined in dozens of tight races that will decide control of the House of Representatives and Senate. The first national elections since Trump captured the White House in a 2016 upset became a referendum on the polarising president, and a test of whether Democrats can turn the energy of the liberal anti-Trump resistance into victories at the ballot box. The Democrats are favoured by election forecasters to pick up the 23 seats they need to … [Read more...] about First polls close as voters decide control of US Congress

Obama, Clinton among targets of suspected bombs ahead of US election
The FBI said it was investigating the incident as an act of terrorism. At least eight suspicious parcels were intercepted before reaching any intended recipients, including Obama’s attorney general, Eric Holder, former CIA Director John Brennan and prominent Democratic Party donor George Soros. Two packages were sent to California Congresswoman Maxine Waters, the FBI said. Investigators were trying to track down another suspicious parcel they believe was addressed to Obama’s vice president, Joe Biden, a federal official told Reuters late on Wednesday. None of the eight packages detonated, and nobody was hurt. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. But news of the bomb threats heightened tension in a nation deeply polarized ahead of elections on Nov. 6 that will decide whether Democrats take control of one or both houses of Congress from Republicans and deny President Donald Trump the majority his party now holds in both. Some leading Democrats were quick to accuse … [Read more...] about Obama, Clinton among targets of suspected bombs ahead of US election
Rescuers arrive for 3,000 stranded after Laos dam collapse: media
The Vientiane Times, citing district Governor Bounhom Phommasane, said about 19 people had been "found dead". While nearly 3,000 had been plucked to safety, more than that number were awaiting rescue, many on the rooftops of submerged homes. A senior Lao government official told Reuters by telephone from the capital, Vientiane, that dozens were feared dead after the failure of the dam - a subsidiary structure under construction as part of a hydroelectric project - on Monday. "We will continue with rescue efforts today, but it's very difficult, the conditions are very difficult. Dozens of people are dead. It could be higher," said the official, who declined to be identified as he was not authorised to speak to the media.
