A U.S. senator has called for mysterious drones spotted flying at night over sensitive areas in New Jersey and other parts of the Mid-Atlantic region to be “shot down, if necessary,” even as it remains unclear who owns the unmanned aircraft. “We should be doing some very urgent intelligence analysis and take them out of the skies, especially if they’re flying over airports or military bases,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said Thursday, as concerns about the drones spread across Capitol Hill. People in the New York region are also concerned that the drones may be sharing airspace with commercial airlines, he said, demanding more transparency from the Biden administration. The White House said Thursday that a review of the reported sightings shows that many of them are actually manned aircraft being flown lawfully. White House National Security spokesman John Kirby said there were no reported sightings in any restricted airspace. He said the U.S. Coast Guard has not uncovered any foreign involvement from coastal vessels. “We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or a public safety threat, or have a foreign nexus,” Kirby said, echoing statements from the Pentagon and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy. Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh has said they are not U.S. military drones. In a joint statement issued Thursday afternoon, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security said they and their federal partners, in close coordination with the New Jersey State Police, “continue to deploy personnel and technology to investigate this situation and confirm whether the reported drone flights are actually drones or are instead manned aircraft or otherwise inaccurate sightings.” The agencies said they have not corroborated any of the reported sightings with electronic detection, and that reviews of available images appear to show many of the reported drones are actually manned aircraft. “There are no reported or confirmed drone sightings in any restricted air space,” according to the statement. The drones appear to avoid detection by traditional methods such as helicopter and radio, according to a state lawmaker briefed Wednesday by the Department of Homeland Security. The number of sightings has increased in recent days, though officials say many of the objects seen may have been planes rather than drones. It’s also possible that a single drone has been reported more than once. The worry stems partly from the flying objects initially being spotted near the Picatinny Arsenal, a U.S. military research and manufacturing facility, and over President-elect Donald Trump’s golf course in Bedminster. In a post on the social media platform X, Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia described the drones as up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) in diameter and sometimes traveling with their lights switched off. Drones are legal in New Jersey for recreational and commercial use but are subject to local and Federal Aviation Administration regulations and flight restrictions. Operators must be FAA certified. Most, but not all, of the drones spotted in New Jersey appeared to be larger than those typically used by hobbyists. Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey said he was frustrated by the lack of transparency, saying it could help spread fear and misinformation. “We should know what’s going on over our skies,” he said Thursday. John Duesler, president of the Pennsylvania Drone Association, said witnesses may be confused about what they are seeing, especially in the dark, and noted it’s hard to know the size of the drones or how close they might be. “There are certainly big drones, such as agricultural drones, but typically they are not the type you see flying around in urban or suburban spaces,” Duesler said Thursday. Duesler said the drones — and those flying them — likely cannot evade detection. “They will leave a radio frequency footprint, they all leave a signature," he said. "We will find out what kind of drones they were, who was flying them and where they were flying them.” Fantasia, a Morris County Republican, was among several lawmakers who met with state police and Homeland Security officials to discuss the sightings from the New York City area across New Jersey and westward into parts of Pennsylvania, including over Philadelphia. It is unknown at this time whether the sightings are related. Duesler said the public wants to know what's going on. “I hope (the government agencies) will come out with more information about this to ease our fears. But this could just be the acts of rogue drone operators, it’s not an ‘invasion’ as some reports have called it,” Duesler said. “I am concerned about this it but not alarmed by it.”Several of US President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet choices and appointees have been targeted by bomb threats and “swatting attacks”, his transition team said. “Last night and this morning, several of President Trump’s cabinet nominees and administration appointees were targeted in violent, un-American threats to their lives and those who live with them,” Trump transition spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. She said the attacks “ranged from bomb threats to ‘swatting'”, adding: “In response, law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted. President Trump and the entire transition team are grateful for their swift action.” Swatting entails generating an emergency law enforcement response against a target victim under false pretences. The FBI said in a statement that it is “aware of numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees, and we are working with our law enforcement partners”. It added: “We take all potential threats seriously, and as always, encourage members of the public to immediately report anything they consider suspicious to law enforcement.” Among those targeted was Elise Stefanik, Mr Trump’s choice to serve as the next ambassador to the United Nations. Her office said that she, her husband, and their three-year-old son were driving home from Washington for Thanksgiving when they were informed of a bomb threat to their residence in Saratoga County. “New York state, county law enforcement, and US Capitol Police responded immediately with the highest levels of professionalism,” her office said in a statement. “We are incredibly appreciative of the extraordinary dedication of law enforcement officers who keep our communities safe 24/7.” In Florida, meanwhile, the Okaloosa County sheriff’s office said in an advisory posted on Facebook that it “received notification of a bomb threat referencing former congressman Matt Gaetz’s supposed mailbox at a home in the Niceville area around 9am this morning”. While a family member resides at the address, they said “former congressman Gaetz is not a resident”, adding: “The mailbox however was cleared and no devices were located. The immediate area was also searched with negative results.” Mr Gaetz was Mr Trump’s initial pick to serve as attorney general, but he withdrew from consideration amid allegations that he paid women for sex and slept with underage women. Mr Gaetz has vehemently denied any wrongdoing and said last year that a Justice Department investigation into sex trafficking allegations involving underage girls had ended with no federal charges against him. Susie Wiles, Mr Trump’s incoming chief of staff, and Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general whom Mr Trump has chosen as Mr Gaetz’s replacement, were also targeted, according to a law enforcement official. White House spokesperson Saloni Sharma said President Joe Biden had been briefed and the White House is in touch with federal law enforcement and Mr Trump’s transition team. Mr Biden “continues to monitor the situation closely,” Ms Sharma said, adding the president and his administration “condemn threats of political violence”. The threats follow a political campaign marked by unusual violence. In July, a gunman opened fire at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, grazing the then-candidate in the ear with a bullet and killing one of his supporters. The US Secret Service later thwarted a subsequent assassination attempt at Mr Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, when an agent spotted the barrel of a gun poking through a fence while Mr Trump was playing golf.
NEW YORK — An NYPD drone helped police locate and arrest two teens caught subway surfing atop a Queens No. 7 train, police said Wednesday. A drone flying over the No. 7 line in Corona spotted two boys, ages 14 and 15, atop a train near the 103rd St.-Corona Plaza station about 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, cops said. Officers were dispatched to the station, where the teens were removed from the train and taken into custody. The younger teen, police said, had a set of MTA keys that allowed him into the conductor’s cabin. Both youths were charged with reckless endangerment. The teen with the keys was additionally charged with possession of burglar’s tools. Mayor Eric Adams last month hailed the NYPD drone initiative, claiming it has been an important tool in the fight against subway surfing and has saved hundreds of lives. “We will see the lives that are lost, but rarely do you get the medal for the lives that are saved,” the mayor said at a press conference outside a Queens school near the aboveground No. 7 train. “And these officers and this team and this technology is saving lives.” The aerial drone program started last year as a pilot initiative and was made permanent this June, NYPD officials said. Typically, the NYPD flies two drones to target subway surfing during the after-school hours from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. These drones fly above the elevated J, M, Z and 7 subway lines in Queens — a favorite borough for the dangerous stunt — to alert officers below if a subway surfer is spotted. The officers then apprehend the daredevils at a subway station and take them into custody. The department has recently shaken up the schedule and is now flying drones in the morning, as well, officials said. Since the program started a year ago, 114 people have been brought in after being flagged subway surfing by the drones. Around 40 of those people had been arrested more than once for subway surfing, NYPD officials said. Six people have died from subway surfing this year, including two teens who perished while subway surfing within a few days of each other last month. -------- ©2024 New York Daily News.

AUSTIN, Texas — Across the sport of football, there are plenty of father son duos, and Keenan and Kaden Hughes are no different. It's just their roster that is. "Once I actually dove into coaching girls, I absolutely fell in love with it," Keenan Hughes said. "I wouldn't dare go back to coaching boys after coaching girls." Keenan Hughes is the head coach of the women's flag football team at Concordia University, the first of its kind in Texas. The women's flag football program is set to launch this spring, and will be the first women's collegiate flag football program in the state. And with its launch will come a whole new generation of football family duos. Chrisma and Doxa Maulolo are one of the new emerging duos, and they're more than just teammates - they are twins, and probably the most in-synch quarterback and center duo to ever take the field. "When we're with each other we just know," Chrisma Maulolo said. "It snaps on our mind, I'm like 'I can catch Doxa's ball she knows where I'm going to go.'" "I know when she snaps it, she's gunna run there and she's gunna protect and she's gonna do her job," Doxa Maulolo said. They also know where they've been, and the hardships that football has helped them overcome. "A lot of times, my mental health is not the strongest," Doxa Maulolo said. "Football has given me a second chance because I wanted to give up on Concordia. Flag football has literally given me motivation and the confidence and the passion to even continue here." "Now, she has no plans of doing that because she has found that sense of family and that sense of inclusion within her teammates here," Keenan Hughes said. If you ask them, football was not part of the plan, but now they are here to stay, with hopes that they show other girls that they belong on the gridiron too. "I really, really hope that they see us and just take inspiration to say, I can do that too,'" Doxa Maulolo said. "We might be the first flag football team in Texas, but there are so many opportunities coming."

Addressing 1,100 business leaders at the NI Chamber’s annual President’s Banquet, its president Caitroina McCusker said members had communicated their unease following the announcement from Chancellor Rachel Reeves last month. The Budget ushered in changes which will hit business hard, including increases in employer national insurance contributions, as well as changes to business asset disposal relief and inheritance tax. Ms McCusker said: “I have heard from many of our members that the Chancellor’s Autumn Budget has thrown obstacles into the path of businesses and that the acceleration of the tax burden adds to the already high cost of doing business, leaving some employers with tough choices if they are to remain competitive and grow.” She said it had compounded other, existing problems. “Confidence is not where it should be. "We need to pick up the pace on many issues to unlock growth including wastewater, planning, skills, childcare and digital connectivity.” Ms McCusker called for innovation in the economy, with measures including the use of AI in public sector transformation. And the PwC boss stressed that getting Northern Ireland ‘back on track’ with its climate change targets could unlock a wall of green capital and investment. Ms McCusker, regional market leader at the business advisory firm, said a new workforce development agency could ensure the region has the skills needed in a digital economy, and called for solutions to ‘the burden of unaffordable childcare.’ The business leader also challenged business and political leaders in the room to “reflect on how we can each use our imaginations constructively to identify opportunities that others may overlook, challenge the status quo and raise our collective ambition”. Reflecting on a year which saw the devolved institutions restored, she called for greater partnership between the public, private and third sectors, saying: “We now have a draft Programme for Government, a budget and a legislative programme. "Now, we need to build on that. Through collaboration, co-design and co-delivery we have so much potential to deliver for our economy and most importantly, for our people.” To address the issues at play, she said there was a need for a “long-term economic plan which not only recognises the stark realities but with ambition addresses them head on, supporting our businesses to invest, innovate, export and succeed.” The event was sponsored by NI Chamber’s communications partner BT, along with supporting sponsors ABL Group, Barclays, Mattioli Woods and Tughans, as well as drinks reception sponsor Vanrath, Media Partner, Bauer Media Group and drinks partner, Diageo. Children’s author and TV star David Walliams was the event’s guest speaker. Paul Murnaghan, regional director for business, BT in Northern Ireland, added: “BT is delighted to once again support the Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce’s President’s Banquet, a flagship event in the NI business calendar. "Now in our 18th year of collaboration and partnership, we congratulate the Chamber who work tirelessly throughout the year for the benefit of all NI businesses large and small. "The banquet presents a great opportunity to network, celebrate successes and also to come together and explore opportunities and debate challenges facing businesses and the NI economy.”The Pima County Board of Supervisors on Thursday formally approved the results of the general election. The board also approved having the Pima County Elections Department take the necessary steps for a recount in the race between Sheriff Chris Nanos and Republican challenger Heather Lappin. There were 487,225 votes counted in the race to be Pima County’s top cop. Incumbent Democrat Nanos beat Lappin by 495 votes — a margin of 0.2%. State law requires a recount when the margin of victory in a race is 0.5% or less. A recount in the race between Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos and his challenger Heather Lappin could take up to two weeks, county officials say. The recount could take up to 14 days because of this year’s long ballot, which covered two full pages, Constance Hargrove, the county’s elections director, told the Star. “When we program the equipment for the recount, it will exclude every other office and only count the sheriff’s race,” she said. “But because ballots are not segregated that way, we have to run them all through the tabulation equipment again.” The recount won’t start immediately, Hargrove said. The County Attorney’s Office will first petition Superior Court to approve the recount, followed by a judge issuing an order that will include a deadline for it to be completed. Still, she said, the recount could start as early as Friday. Lappin, a jail commander, had been gaining on Nanos since he started election night with a lead of over 25,000 votes when unofficial results were first released about an hour after the polls closed. By the Sunday after the election, his lead dropped to 6,456 votes. About a week into counting , Nanos’ lead over Lappin dipped below 200 votes before ending in his victory by fewer than 500 votes.
