NYC to face $64-million cut in security funds from Trump administration after deadly shooting
WASHINGTON, Aug 5 (Reuters) - The Trump administration said it would cut terrorism prevention funding for New York City, according to a grant notice posted days after a gunman killed four people inside a Manhattan skyscraper. The Federal Emergency Management Agency stated in a grant notice, opens new tab posted on Friday that New York City would receive $64 million less this year from its urban area security fund. The amount was listed in a single line of an 80-page FEMA notice on the grant program. Congress created the program to help cities prevent terrorist attacks. 'It makes absolutely no sense, and no justification has been given to cut NY's allocation given the rise in the threat environment,' a spokesperson for the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services said in a statement on Monday afternoon. Manhattan has been the site of two attacks on high-profile corporate executives in the last year. The most recent attack came from a gunman armed with an assault-style rifle in late July. He killed four people inside an office building that houses the headquarters of the NFL and several major financial firms. Governor Kathy Hochul highlighted the attack in her late July letter, opens new tab to U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, asking why the Trump administration had not announced the amounts each city would receive from the program this year. FEMA is part of DHS. Noem's office did not respond to two messages from Reuters asking why the federal government cut New York's funding. The agency uses 'an analysis of relative risk of terrorism' to decide how much money cities will receive, according to the grant notice posted on Friday. The agency may change the amounts later, according to the notice. In 2023, the agency considered city visitor counts, population density, and proximity to international borders, among other factors, to determine the totals, according to a report signed by then-FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell. FEMA has been decreasing terrorism prevention money for New York City each year since at least fiscal year 2022. The drop is much more drastic this year at 41% year-over-year. The New York City Police Department has used the funding in the past to pay for the Domain Awareness System, a network of cameras, license plate readers, and detection devices, according to a 2016 statement, opens new tab from former Mayor Bill de Blasio's office.

Shock footage shows bikini-clad women brawling on a beach in Ukraine after group started ‘playing Russian music'
THIS is the shocking moment a brawl breaks out between bikini-clad women in war torn Ukraine. The mass scrap was triggered when one group began blasting Russian music on a beach in Odesa, on the Black Sea coast, according to some local reports. 4 4 Playing Russian music publicly is banned - so any infringement at the popular Golden Beach would have riled fury. Footage shows a gaggle of women pushing and pulling at each other. One pair each has their fists gripped onto the other's hair before collapsing onto another pair brawling in the sand. Other women pile into the heap, before some men in underpants also get involved. Bodies are shoved out of the melee - some tumbling backwards and taking others with them. Things look to have calmed down, but then two men begin wrestling on their feet. And the group of women, now also back on their feet, continues to whack at each other. The Strana news outlet reported that holidaymakers fought on the beach after "a song in Russian was played". Odesa has seen almost daily drone or missile strikes during the war - and the famous Golden Beach usually provides a brief respite from the conflict. The port city has faced down more than 700 Russian attacks since war broke out in February 2022. Watch moment migrant boat arrives on Spain hols beach before they are chased & tackled by angry locals At least 131 civilians have been killed and more than 312 wounded by the aerial offensives. The Russian port punch-up follows another beach brawl between migrants and locals on the Spanish coast. A migrant boat arrived and unloaded its occupants, who were chased and tackled by angry beach goers. Around a dozen of those who arrived on the boat were detained, with some held by beachgoers until authorities arrived. The shocking incident unfolded on Sotillo Beach in Castell de Ferro, Granada in the afternoon on Sunday. Footage shared on social media shows a speed boat with young men on board arriving at the shore at around 2pm. Those on the boat are captured diving into the water in front of stunned holidaymakers and locals. They then swim to the beach before attempting making a run for it. But locals are seen tackling some of the migrants to the ground, whilst others manage to escape. A clip shows a beachgoer in swimming trunks pinning one man down whilst he appears to beg to be let go.

Mauro Icardi killed and ATE pigeon after using homemade slingshot at Barcelona academy, claims former team-mate
MAURO ICARDI left Barcelona stars stunned with his wild antics during his time at the club's academy, says a former team-mate. The Argentine joined La Masia as a fifteen-year-old after being spotted playing for a club from the Canary Islands. 1 Sergi Gomez, who went on to play for Sevilla and Espanyol, shared an apartment with Icardi, future Stoke star Marc Muniesa and Champions League winner Sergi Roberto. And he told Spanish podcast Post United: "Mauro arrived at La Masía and we were teammates for three or four seasons. "During one of those seasons, we shared an apartment. One day, he said to me, 'Sergi, come with me to the park next door.' "He was carrying a Y-shaped piece of wood that he had cut the day before, with a rubber band tied to it. "He had made a homemade slingshot. We went to the park, and he pointed to a very tall pine tree and said, 'See up there?' "He grabbed a rock, stretched the rubber band, and... boom. "He brought down the pigeon from a height of 20 or 30 metres. "We went back, he plucked its feathers, threaded a wire through it, lit a fire, and ate it in front of me. "I remember thinking: 'What awaits me if we start like this?'" Mauro Icardi shows his skills at the Barcelona youth academy Icardi, now 32, is currently going through divorce proceedings with wife and former agent Wanda Nara. The striker accuses Nara of infidelity, which could lead to her having to pay alimony if found to be the reason for the divorce. The estranged couple have two daughters together - Francesca, 10, and Isabella, 8. But Gomez was positive about his former team-mate as a person. He said: "We lived through a lot together, and if he sees me, he'll know that I hold that in my heart."
