BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union on Thursday unveiled new proposals to help its armies move faster in times of conflict and to boost cyber security, saying that Russia’s war on Ukraine is a wake-up call to bolster Europe’s defenses.
“I think it’s a wake-up call for all of us. We must reinforce our ability to defend ourselves and also to defend our values,” European Commission Executive Vice-President Margrethe Vestager told reporters.

An Italian-owned company will invest $60 million in coastal Georgia to build a plant to make and distribute ammunition, with plans to hire 600 people. Norma Precision will build just northwest of Savannah. Italian gunmaker Beretta bought Norma Precision and other ammunition makers in July for an undisclosed price. Norma Precision had already announced that it was moving its headquarters to Georgia, setting up a factory in a Savannah suburb. Last year, Norma Precision said it imported more than 400 containers of ammunition from factories in Europe, while also delivering more than 30 million cartridges of ammunition made in the U.S.
While Democrats were celebrating a stronger-than-expected midterm performance across much of the U.S. this week, New York was emerging as a notable exception where losses and lackluster results prompted a round of soul-searching and finger-pointing inside the party. Republicans flipped four congressional seats, including one held by Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, who ran the House Democrats’ campaign arm. Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, who took over last year when former Gov. Andrew Cuomo resigned, won her race against Republican Lee Zeldin by single digits. It was the closest governor’s race in the state since 1994, when incumbent Democrat Mario Cuomo lost to Republican George Pataki.
The U.S. government is taking steps to ensure that pregnant migrant youths who are in its custody but not accompanied by parents can access abortion services. The guidance Thursday from the Office of Refugee Resettlement says pregnant migrants under 18 should be assigned to shelters in states that still allow abortion. It also says those who want an abortion should be provided transportation across state lines if necessary. Government officials and contractors who have religious objections to abortion aren’t required to assist directly in providing access to abortion but must notify authorities of any pregnant migrant youths.
CHICAGO — Foundation officials are condemning a “hate” incident that occurred Thursday morning at the site of former President Barack Obama’s presidential center in Jackson Park on the South Side of Chicago.

The New Mexico Indian Affairs Department’s cabinet secretary will be leaving her job at the end of this month. Lynn Trujillo was appointed to the position by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham in January 2019. As cabinet secretary, Trujillo worked with tribal leadership, advocates and legislators on passage and enactment of aid legislation that provided additional funding to school districts in Native American communities. She also led New Mexico’s first Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives Task Force, which led to the creation of a state response plan to address the issue. During Trujillo’s tenure, the Lujan Grisham administration also provided life-saving resources to tribal communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abortion rights supporters secured another win Thursday as voters in Montana rejected a ballot measure that would have forced medical workers to intercede in the rare case of a baby born after an attempted abortion. The result caps a string of ballot defeats, months after the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade galvanized abortion-rights voters. Michigan, California and Vermont voted to enshrine abortion rights in their state constitutions, and Kentucky voters rejected an anti-abortion amendment in a tally that echoed a similar August vote in Kansas.

A former California police officer is being charged with sexual assault and other crimes after misconduct allegations by multiple women spurred an internal affairs investigation at the Stockton Police Department. Former Stockton Police Sgt. Nicholas Bloed was hired by the department in 2008. He was placed on administrative leave in May and hasn’t been employed at the department since October. The charges mark yet another example of law enforcement officials facing accusations of sexual misconduct. Bloed’s lawyer says sexual activity Bloed engaged in with people he met as an officer was consensual.
SEATTLE — Tiffany Smiley conceded to Sen. Patty Murray in their race for U.S. Senate late Wednesday, bowing to the blunt mathematical reality, a day after vowing to continue to fight.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A member of a Kansas City Proud Boys chapter who prosecutors said conspired to breach the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 was sentenced in federal court Thursday to 70 days in jail and 12 months of supervised release.
LAS VEGAS — Clark County responded to allegations from former President Donald Trump that the county’s election system was corrupt.
A man convicted of reckless homicide in the 2020 shooting of a Black man in Indianapolis during unrest sparked byr George Floyd’s killing by Minneapolis police has been sentenced to one year of home detention. Thirty-two-year-old Tyler Newby also was sentenced Thursday to four years of probation for shooting 18-year-old Dorian Murrell. Prosecutors had charged Newby with murder, but a judge conducting a bench trial found Newby, who’s white, guilty of reckless homicide. Murrell died from a single gunshot wound to the heart after being shot in downtown Indianapolis on May 31, 2020. Newby’s first trial in the case ended in a mistrial last year.
Republican Lauren Boebert’s race against Democrat Adam Frisch remained extremely tight on Thursday and could be headed for a recount. Boebert is lagging far behind expectations in Colorado’s sprawling 3rd Congressional district that election prognosticators and pundits widely considered to be safe for Boebert. The thin margin garnered national attention as Republicans try to gain control of the U.S. House. In Colorado, recounts are automatically initiated when the margin is less than 0.5%. As votes still roll in from counties, the race remains hovered within the recount zone as of Wednesday.
People who were convicted of having oral or anal sex under an antiquated Idaho law will be allowed to be removed from the state’s sex offender list. That’s due to a settlement Idaho has reached to resolve a two-year-old lawsuit. The Idaho State Police will also pay the legal fees of the men who sued over the law, according to the settlement filed Thursday. Shortly after the lawsuit was filed, the Legislature repealed the law but did not lift the registry requirement for people who were previously convicted. Matthew Strugar is one of the attorneys who sued over the law. Strugar says there’s no reason to put someone on the sex offender list just for being gay.

SEATTLE — Federal agencies are yet again considering plans to bring grizzly bears home to the deep forested valleys of the North Cascades where they once thrived.
The elections chief in Nevada’s most populous county is defending the pace of vote-counting, saying the state Legislature has laid out a methodical process. Clark County Registrar of Voters Joe Gloria said Thursday that workers are moving as quickly as possible, but also making sure they are validating signatures and identities. All eyes are on Nevada, where tightly contested races for U.S. Senate, House and the governor’s office remain too early to call. Gloria says there are more than 50,000 outstanding votes in Clark County. Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto was trailing Republican Adam Laxalt and Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak is trailing Las Vegas-area Sheriff Joe Lombardo.

They may play knights and squires, lord chancellors and queens, but some performers at the Medieval Times dinner theater castle in Buena Park say they’re treated more like peasants, enduring long hours and sometimes dangerous duties for low wages, with minimal say over their working conditions.
One of Donald Trump’s top moneymen has admitted to breaking the law to help fellow Trump Organization executives avoid taxes on company-paid apartments and other perks. Senior Vice President and Controller Jeffrey McConney gave his testimony at the company’s criminal tax fraud trial on Thursday. He admitted to preparing misleading tax returns and failing to report the benefits to tax authorities. McConney is in his third day on the witness stand. He said that a few years before Trump became president, the company’s accountant raised concerns about the way it paid out holiday bonuses — a topic that has consumed hours of trial testimony. McConney was granted immunity to testify as a prosecution witness.
Virginia’s Republican lieutenant governor, Winsome Earle-Sears, is saying that if Donald Trump makes a third bid for the White House, she will not support him. Previously a vocal advocate for the former president, Earle-Sears told Fox Business Thursday that voters in this week’s midterm elections have given the Republican Party a “very clear message” that it’s time for a new standard-bearer and that “it is time to move on.” In her successful campaign last year, Earle-Sears highlighted her work as national chairperson for a group that aimed to engage Black voters in the effort to reelect Trump.
A jury has ordered Academy Award-winning filmmaker Paul Haggis to pay at least $7.5 million to a woman who accused him of rape. The verdict in the civil case came Thursday in one of several #MeToo-era cases that have put Hollywood notables’ behavior on trial this fall. The lawsuit pitted the screenwriter-director against a publicist who met him while working at movie premieres in the early 2010s. Haggis said the January 2013 encounter in his New York apartment was consensual. He is known for writing best picture Oscar winners “Million Dollar Baby” and “Crash.”
LOS ANGELES — A Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy was charged Wednesday in the fatal 2021 shooting of a suicidal man.
Mac Jones approached nearly everything he did as a rookie NFL quarterback like a sponge. It helped him set the standard among the league’s first-year signal callers and earned him a Pro Bowl selection. The jump he and the Patriots were expecting him to make in Year Two hasn’t been seamless following an ankle injury that kept him out for three weeks and growing pains adjusting to a new play caller and system that is expanding on the short, efficient passes he had success at as a rookie. But his optimism remains high entering the second half of the season.

U.S. Sen. John Thune set South Dakota history by winning his fourth Senate term. He became the second South Dakota senator to win four terms, defying what is known in local political circles as “the Curse of Karl” because Sen. Karl Mundt was the only politician to accomplish the feat. But it’s not clear whether Thune’s party will hold the majority after a midterm election in which the GOP failed to meet expectations of a sweeping victory. Thune says he wants to stay “focused on solutions,” especially on inflation, rather than bombastic politics. He is also pressing for his party to look beyond former President Donald Trump’s influence.
Jack Eichel says it still hurts to think about the icy reception the last time he was in Buffalo, in March. That was his second game against his former team after he was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights. The former Sabres captain is back for Thursday night’s game. Last time, he booed during pregame warmups and each time he touched the puck. A healthy Eichel is leading the surging Pacific Division-leading Golden Knights with 15 points, and said he feels better prepared for whatever the Buffalo crowd might have in store.
Christian Pulisic heads to the World Cup a man of few minutes. Pulisic is coming off an unsatisfying and unsettled club season as he prepares to go to Qatar with the United States. He’s started just five of Chelsea’s 22 games going into this weekend’s pre-tournament finale, playing a full match just once.
