A 32-year-old Bank of America vice president has been identified as the woman killed in a random stabbing attack in the heart of Times Square.
Erin Piacenti, of Chester, New Jersey, was one of two people stabbed. Police say the attacker struck twice within roughly 20 seconds. A 68-year-old man was also wounded and is in stable condition.
"We are shocked and deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our colleague," Bank of America says, calling Piacenti a "valued teammate."
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch describes the violence as a "random and unprovoked attack."
The CEOs of major AI companies acknowledge that they are losing control of their incredibly dangerous technology.
It is irresponsible to let them make it even more powerful.
For the sake of humanity CEOs must immediately pause AI development.
That pause must be international in scope.
Staten Island man struck by lightning while walking to a dentist appointment.
Thomas Fahmy says he is grateful to be alive and went to church on Sunday to thank God for giving him another chance.
"Once the lightning bolt struck me, the initial sensations that I had throughout my whole body were completely unprecedented; tingling, numbness, pain, just I feel this burning sensation."
"No burns. I had multiple body exams; no burns at all. I went to church on Sunday to say thank you, God."

Ukraine is a country of peace. And we truly respect the fact that our partners want to help bring this war to an end. We support every such effort. When the Americans asked us to pause strikes on Moscow and St. Petersburg on August 25, 26, and 27, we observed that pause. There were no strikes on Russia, while strikes on Ukraine continued. When another global power asked us to pause strikes in the direction of Vladivostok for a specified period of time, we agreed to ensure that as well. New meetings in Moscow are now being prepared, and we will take that into account.
We always support every step toward peace – every step to prevent Russia from making this war endless. The war needs to end, and leaders are right to tell Putin this. So, for the sake of diplomacy and negotiations, whenever our partners approach us about this, we will ensure that Russian skies are cleared of drones for specified periods of time and along specified routes. Safety will return to Russia’s skies when there is real movement toward peace. For now, the skies over Russia are for drones – not for civilian aviation.
I spoke with Chancellor Merz to express Canada’s support for Germany, following Russia’s hybrid attack at Leipzig Airport.
Attacking a Ukrainian cargo plane on German soil was an egregious attempt by Russia to weaken our resolve and our collective defence — and it will fail.
Our support for Ukraine in the face of Russia’s aggression is unshakeable.
We remain relentless in the pursuit of a just and lasting peace across the continent.
Italy stands in full solidarity with Germany after the Russian hybrid attack in Leipzig.
The security of our Allies is the security of us all. Attempts to intimidate us or to drive a wedge between Allies will not succeed: hybrid actions against any one of us are a matter of concern for all of us, and will be met with a united response.
At times like this, it is essential to remain steadfast, to keep working closely together, and to maintain a credible posture of deterrence in defence of our citizens’ security.
Australian help is on its way to Nepal.
In the coming days, an Australian Air Force C-17A will depart carrying humanitarian supplies, equipment and personnel to support communities devastated by the floods.
Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those Australians who are still missing.
We’ll keep working with Nepal to get help where it’s needed most.
We are preparing for new communication with envoys of the U.S. President. More details will follow tomorrow. We are doing everything to ensure that war doesn’t remain the only option for what comes next.
Importantly, America shares many of our views on the situation both on the front and with the strikes. We should be active, and that is exactly how we are working – actively, with no days off.
I extend warmest felicitations to my dear brother, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the Government, and the brotherly people of the Republic of Türkiye on the joyous occasion of Victory Day.
The 30th of August commemorates the historic victory secured under the leadership of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, which laid the foundations of the modern Turkish Republic. Pakistan joins its Turkish brothers and sisters in honouring this proud legacy of courage and national resolve.
The bonds between Pakistan and Türkiye are bonds of the heart, forged over centuries of shared faith, history and struggle. Today our two nations have reaffirmed this strategic expression of enduring brotherhood through the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement, which binds our two nations, alongside the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in our shared pursuit of common security and collective deterrence.
Pakistan remains unflinching in its commitment to further deepening its strategic partnership with Türkiye across all domains for the shared prosperity and security of our two nations.
May the abiding friendship and brotherhood between Pakistan and Türkiye continue to flourish for generations to come.
Yaşasın Pakistan–Türkiye Kardeşliği!
(Long live Pakistan–Türkiye brotherhood!)

There is no higher priority for us than the safety of American citizens. Our embassies in Nepal and China are working closely to assist Americans and support disaster relief efforts.
The United States is standing with the people of Nepal by providing more than $3.6 million worth of life-saving humanitarian assistance, including up to three months of emergency food assistance to up to 10,000 flood-affected households.
We must give young Australians a stake in the nation’s future.
And the best stake in Australia’s future is to own a home.
But for too long Australia’s housing policies didn’t serve young Australians.
Since we changed tax breaks for property investors, first home buyers are facing less competition and more homes are being built right across the country.
Because every Australian, no matter where they live, deserves a fair go at owning their own home.
And now, we’re giving them one.
