Harris makes gains in the polls with election six weeks away
Two major national polls are revealing a new boost for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, with her leading Donald Trump four points in one survey, and five points in another. Harris has a five-point lead over Trump in a head-to-head race among registered voters (49% to 44%) in the latest national poll by NBC News. That's a marked shift between the parties' candidates from NBC's poll in July when Trump was ahead by two points before President Joe Biden stepped out of the race. The survey also shows a 16-point boost in Harris's favorability rating since July.
HARRIS' RATINGS RISE IS MOST BY CANDIDATE SINCE 9/11

US government to announce ban Chinese EV technology
National security concerns prompted an expected announcement today by the Biden administration to ban Chinese software and hardware from self-driving and "connected" vehicles in the US. The proposal, which would take effect as early as the 2027 model year, is set to be announced by the Commerce Department. The move would follow a February investigation ordered by President Joe Biden into the potential threats posed by Chinese vehicles.

Escalation not in Israel's 'best interest': US

A regional military escalation is not in Israel's "best interest," White House National Security spokesman John Kirby said on Sunday, as heightening cross-border tensions between Israel and Lebanon have led to fears of an all-out war. Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah have engaged in rapidly escalating cross-border exchanges, including intense rocket fire overnight in northern Israel. The fire reached Kiryat Bialik on the edge of north Israel's biggest city Haifa, leaving a building in flames, another pockmarked with shrapnel, and vehicles incinerated.

Zelensky to meet with Biden, Harris, Trump

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to meet with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris and hopes to also huddle with Donald Trump when he arrives in the US in days to present his "victory plan" on how to end the nearly two-year war with Russia. The Ukrainian leader will also pitch his proposal when he attends sessions of the United Nations Security Council and the General Assembly. He said his "victory plan" lays out a diplomatic roadmap on how Ukraine can force Russia to end the war this fall.

Sunken superyacht may hold deep secrets

A $40 million yacht that sank off the coast of Italy may hold classified intelligence locked in watertight safes, prompting fears that Russia and China may try to steal it. The concerns led prosecutors investigating last month's capsizing of the Bayesian to protect the sunken sailboat with guards above water and underwater surveillance cameras. The 184-foot luxury vessel sank last month near the island of Sicily during a storm, killing seven of the 22 on board. The dead included British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, who founded the Darktrace cybersecurity company.
