Canada and India Expel Diplomats Canada and India announced tit-for-tat expulsions of diplomats after Canadian police said Indian agents have been involved in homicides on Canadian soil.

India’s Ministry of External Affairs said on Oct. 14 that it is expelling Acting High Commissioner Stewart Ross Wheeler and five other diplomats. They have been asked to leave the country by Oct. 19. The move came as Canada expelled six Indian diplomats, including its High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma, as the row between the two countries escalates.

The latest crisis between the two nations comes a little over a year after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused Indian agents of having a hand in the assassination on Canadian soil of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, sending diplomatic relations into a tailspin. The Indian government had accused Nijjar of being a terrorist. Read the full story here›

UN and Israel Trade Accusations Over Tank Attack The U.N. complained that an Israeli tank shot its way onto a peacekeeper base. Israel said Hezbollah operated nearby and used the base as a human shield.

The U.N. said Israeli tanks burst onto the base in southern Lebanon shortly before dawn on Oct. 13.

After they left, shells exploded 100 meters away, releasing smoke that blew across the base and sickened U.N. personnel, the force said in a statement.

Trump Gains Ground as Harris Makes Appeal to Black Men Several recent national polls show former President Donald Trump closing the gap with Vice President Kamala Harris.

A new ABC News/Ipsos poll—conducted Oct. 4 to Oct. 8—has Harris leading the former president 50 percent to 48 percent among likely voters, and 49 to 47 percent among all registered voters. Among all adults, the margin narrows even further to a one-point race within the two-point margin of error, excluding those who wouldn’t vote. Those results mark an improvement for Trump since mid-September, when he trailed Harris by five points in the same poll.

Harris on Monday announced an “opportunity agenda for black men,” which includes 1 million forgivable business loans of up to $20,000 each for black entrepreneurs, more apprenticeships, and research into sickle cell disease and other illnesses that disproportionately affect African American men.
