Mayor Adams says New York will continue to be home for the LGTB community and for migrants
The mayor of New York, Eric Adams, wrote on Wednesday that after the victory in the presidential elections of candidate Donald Trump, the city will continue to be home for the LGTB community and for immigrants, in reference to the messages that Trump has launched against immigrants and to a lesser extent against transsexuals.
Adams said in his X account that the “values” of the city will continue to be “the defense of women, our LGTBQ+ community, our immigrant brothers and sisters and the millions more who consider New York as their home.”
Adams commits to work for New York with Trump
Even so, the mayor begins by saying that “the success of the next Trump Administration is our success too,” and he pledged to work with the next government that Trump will form from next year.
In recent weeks, Trump’s harmony with Mayor Adams, who, like Trump, is besieged by a series of accusations (in his case related to corruption and perks), and who is also considered a representative of the right wing of the Democratic Party, was striking.
New York City was one of the few in the country where Kamala Harris’ candidacy was forcefully imposed against Trump’s (480,178 votes against 102,534), but in the whole of the State of New York the Democratic Party lost almost one million votes with respect to the 2020 presidential elections.

Seven bodies found with signs of torture in Sinaloa
Mexican authorities discovered seven lifeless bodies on Wednesday, showing clear signs of torture, in the rural area of Culiacán, Sinaloa, just one day after the same number of bodies was found in several municipalities in the western state of Mexico.
Six of these seven victims were found along the side of the highway that connects Culiacán to Mazatlán, near Laguna de Canachi, according to local media reports, which also noted that messages addressed to a criminal group were found near the bodies.
This brings the total number of violent deaths in the region to seven within just 24 hours. On Tuesday, authorities reported more victims found in the municipalities of Culiacán, Elota, and Mazatlán.
Among the victims identified was a local cattle rancher named Ramón Velázquez Ontiveros, as well as a police officer from Mazatlán, who was killed by a motorcyclist outside his home in San Marcos.

Málaga paralyzed by new storm as torrential rains hit Spain
Thousands of people were evacuated and trains were suspended as torrential rains once again struck Spain on Wednesday, following the devastating floods that killed at least 223 people two weeks ago, most of them in the Valencia region.
The national meteorological agency (Aemet) issued a maximum, red-level alert for the Andalusian province of Málaga in the south, and for Tarragona in the northeast, due to the new DANA (isolated depression at high levels), also known as a cold drop.
The city of Málaga appeared to be the hardest hit by the rains, with more than 3,000 people evacuated from 1,000 homes near rivers, flooded streets, and the suspension of urban transport and train services to Madrid.
“Today Málaga is paralyzed,” said Andalusia’s regional president, Juan Manuel Moreno, to reporters. “I know it is a problem for citizens not being able to take their children to school or go to work, but after what we saw in Valencia, we need to ‘prevent’ and minimize the impact in terms of loss of life,” he added.
The storm also led to the postponement of a match between Spain and Poland in the Billie Jean King Cup women’s tennis competition, which was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in Málaga.

Hezbollah launches explosive drone strike on Israel’s defense headquarters
The Lebanese Islamist movement Hezbollah claimed on Wednesday that it launched an attack with explosive drones against the Israeli army’s headquarters in Tel Aviv.
The Iran-backed organization reported in a statement that it had carried out “an aerial attack with a squadron of explosive drones” targeting the site that houses Israel’s main defense institutions.
Hezbollah later stated that it also fired a barrage of rockets at the Glilot military intelligence base in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.
The Israeli military indicated that “sirens sounded in several areas of northern and central Israel following the launch of projectiles from Lebanon.”
It later clarified that “five projectiles were identified over the territory, and some were intercepted.”
