Jeremy Zakis reports on an unusually early and severe cold snap hitting the eastern seaboard of Australia, which he identifies as the arrival of El Niño. The "arctic blast" arrived over a month earlier than expected, bringing frost even to sea-level areas like Sydney and temperatures near zero degrees Celsius in elevated regions like Canberra. Jeremy notes that while the cold makes roads slippery, local birds are adapting rather than migrating; they "puff up" their feathers to conserve heat and stay still in the trees to avoid the freezing air. Unlike extreme heat, this cold has not yet caused bird fatalities. (1/4)1900 QUEENSLAND

Hour 2 opens with Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge breaking down the unusually cold May weather, dubbed “Blackberry Winter,” with temperatures dipping into the 30s and prompting a discussion of unpredictable seasonal shifts in the Midwest. The conversation quickly moves into Missouri politics, where Marc strongly backs efforts to move school board elections to November in order to increase voter turnout, while criticizing teachers unions and local officials who oppose the change in areas like St. Louis, Kansas City, and Springfield. The hour includes a preview of State Rep. Mike Koslow's testimony regarding heated legislative debate over the proposal and a broader argument that low-turnout elections allow organized political interests to maintain control. Later, Marc reacts to California politics, mocking progressive mayoral candidate Katie Porter's far-left positions on energy, immigration, and transgender sports issues while framing her as emblematic of statewide political decline. The hour wraps with skepticism toward media claims about President Trump's Iran negotiations, as Marc rejects reports suggesting an Obama-style nuclear deal revival and instead cites Newt Gingrich's view that Iran may be pressured into major concessions under Trump's strategy.

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – Wind and solar power gave insignificant contributions, despite having received hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars over the past 20 years. Yet environmental activists want us to believe that we can transition away from fossil fuels, not to nuclear, about which they are unjustifiably terrified, but to the least reliable and most expensive energy...

Today's Headlines: Billionaire retail mogul Les Wexner testified before Congress about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein — but instead of appearing on Capitol Hill, lawmakers traveled to his Ohio mansion, where the 88-year-old was deposed with family members present. Notably, no Republicans on the House Oversight Committee showed up. Wexner, who once granted Epstein power of attorney, said he was “naive, gullible, and foolish” and claimed he was conned, despite building a multibillion-dollar empire. It wasn't the only billionaire hot seat of the day. Mark Zuckerberg testified in a landmark trial against Meta over allegations the company knowingly made its platforms addictive and harmful to children. The case could influence more than 1,500 pending social media addiction lawsuits. Meanwhile, The New York Times reported Meta has set aside $65 million to back state-level politicians friendly to the AI industry through new super PACs in Illinois and Texas — timing that feels… strategic. In federal agency cleanup news, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration removed a webpage warning against bogus autism “treatments” like chlorine dioxide and raw camel milk, calling it routine housekeeping. On the foreign policy front, Donald Trump met with advisers to discuss Iran, as mixed signals emerge from nuclear talks in Geneva and two U.S. aircraft carriers sit in the Mediterranean. The administration also plans to withdraw roughly 1,000 U.S. troops from Syria over the next two months, though officials say the move is “conditions based.” Meanwhile, a potential U.S. arms sale to Taiwan is reportedly in limbo ahead of Trump's planned meeting with Xi Jinping in Beijing. Back home, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the city will resume clearing homeless encampments following at least 19 deaths during a recent cold snap, with outreach led by homeless services rather than police.

Paris-based journalist, Sharon Gaffney reports on the cold snap in Europe.

A severe cold snap has gripped Europe, causing deadly accidents and travel chaos.  In the German capital Berlin, freezing temperatures have made the situation even worse for tens of thousands of households that have been affected by a widespread power outage since Saturday.  A suspected arson attack claimed by a left-wing group is thought to have knocked electricity offline, sparking questions over the vulnerability of Germany's wider infrastructure. 

Cold conditions are expected to continue overnight, with further weather warnings issued around the country. There were a large number of schools closed today across the North West region in particular, and there are some concerns that closures may continue.

Chief Meteorologist Rich Wirdzek and Meteorologist Jake Grant are back this week to talk about the first arctic cold snap of the season! Although not nearly as cold as arctic air can be in the winter, this pattern may reflect a sign of where we're headed as winter draws near. The cold air also brought the first snowflakes of the season to many locations near Delmarva...even south of the area!

In this wide-ranging episode, Tara covers America's sudden temperature plunge — a “record-busting blast of cold” that's sweeping southward just as frost warnings hit the Upstate. She breaks down why the media isn't hyping climate change this time, reflects on the early arrival of Christmas spirit across neighborhoods, and explores what shifting traditions say about the nation's mood. Then, the tone turns serious as Tara reveals jaw-dropping details from a developing investigation: the possible exposure of the January 6 pipe bomber — and evidence suggesting the suspect may be tied to federal law enforcement. It's a mix of cultural commentary, meteorological reality, and political shockwaves you won't hear anywhere else.

On the Monday November 10th edition of Georgia Today: Really cold temperatures have arrived in Georgia; SNAP recipients may start receiving some of their monthly benefits; And the U.S. Supreme Court rejects a call to re-examine marriage equality. Advocates are praising the decision. 

After escaping one ambush in their hotel room and a second aboard the Buzzard Black, the crew of the Little Snail is finally preparing themselves for their climactic showdown with the deadly hitman, Genuine Sincere. They'll need the right location, the right gear, and the right magical protection. And then, of course, they'll need a little luck. This week on Perpetua: Sizzling Rivalry, Crashing Waves! 04 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.04] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] Genuine Sincere [NMGNS] Traits: Cold-Blooded, Bought, Veteran. Eagle-eyed Stats: DEX 10, INS 6, MIG 8, WLP 6 Attacks: Ancient Passikan Rifle Shot, Suppressive FIRE, COLD Snap, LIGHTNING Strikes Twice, A Shot in the DARK Special Abilities:  Countershot, Reinforcements, Take to the Sky (Crisis!) In-Game Description: Former colleague of Uncle Nicky. Veteran hitman in the service of....  As far as I'm concerned, this is the first real boss fight of the game, even if you're jumping between both West and East campaigns. The Kalsi fight has a potential “hard mode,” but you can stop it from even happening at all based on your choices. Genuine Sincere, on the other hand, will keep sniping at you until you finally fight him. (Though I am curious if the game ever forces a traditional fight with him, or if you can complete the whole campaign with him occasionally taking a potshot through your window. Anyone test this out yet?) All of that is to say: Come in prepared! First of all, keep any elemental weaknesses in mind (like Elena's weakness to bolt) because four out of the five attacks Genuine has are elemental in nature. Worse: He's the first enemy who can actively MAKE YOU WEAK to an element.  He can also debuff you in a number of different ways, so bring enough IP to Tonic your way through the fight if you need to. On top of all that he's a Villain and a Champion class enemy, so even if you try to grind to beat him, he's going to end up with a lot more HP than any one of your party members. Yikes. Oh, and did I mention, he isn't even alone? He starts the fight with a Hoodlum Mechanic [NMHMC] and a Gangster Killer [NMGKL] on his side, plus a (de)Activated BuilderBot [NMABB] that can be used against you if the Mechanic can get control of it. DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN. Starter Tip: As far as I can tell, you have three places you can confront Genuine in the city: The clock tower where he snipes you from as you enter (and when you're in the hotel.) The beach at Rose Shore (which is definitely the hardest, because of some enemies that can join from the sea). And one of the industrial buildings in Highrail. That last one is the hardest to setup, but BY FAR the easiest to win at. ESPECIALLY if you can manage to stop his “Reinforcements” ability to continually give him more Mechanics and Killers on his side!
