More than 50 signatures on New York mayor Eric Adams’ petition to run as an independent candidate in November’s election are fraudulent, according to a report published on Friday.

The Gothamist said it had found 52 signatures from people who said their names were forged, including signatures of three people who turned out to be dead. The publication cited others who said they were deceived into signing the petitions.

The discovery, if confirmed, is likely to be insignificant to Adams’ independent campaign, which is required to produce 7,500 signatures to qualify him as a candidate. The Adams campaign has turned in nearly 50,000 signatures.

Still, the finding adds complexity to a race

Lewis Hamilton berated his performance in qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix as “useless” and emphasised it with an entirely uncharacteristic act of self flagellation as he stated Ferrari needed to replace him.

Hamilton was knocked out in 12th at the Hungaroring while his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc went on to take pole position for Sunday’s race, the first the Scuderia has claimed this year.

Hamilton did not have an issue with his car on his final run in Q2 in Budapest nor was he impeded, he was simply not quick enough to go through, over two tenths down on Leclerc’s time and squarely took himself to task for his shortcomings

A man commandeered a transportation cart at New York’s Buffalo Niagara international airport and destroyed moving walkways with it at the facility, according to authorities investigating the unusual incident.

Kevin J Sinning, 29, of Wyoming, faces charges of second-degree criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, criminal nuisance, third-degree grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property worth more than $3,000 after his arrest at about 1am on 28 July, the Niagara frontier transportation authority police department said.

The police department said that Sinning was “visibly intoxicated” at the time of his arrest, NBC News reported.

In video footage circulated on social media, Sinning was evidently recorded slowly driving the cart up and down the

For the first three decades of my life, I rode the nice-shoes-cheap-socks train. Then it happened. Returning from a friend’s house, I discovered there was a hole in the ankle of one of my socks.

My mind flooded with questions. Mostly, did anyone notice the back of my ankle exposed like Achilles at Troy?

My research to avoid this ever happening again led me to Darn Tough Socks. The Vermont company’s offer of an unconditional lifetime guarantee caught my eye. If they wear out, they’ll ship you another pair for free.

That was enough to help me overcome my trepidation of paying $23 for a pair of socks, over 10 times what

Nearly nine out of 10 Israeli military investigations into allegations of war crimes or abuses by its soldiers since the start of the war in Gaza have been closed without finding fault or left without resolution, according to a conflict monitor.

Unresolved investigations include the killing of at least 112 Palestinians queueing for flour in Gaza City in February 2024, Action on Armed Violence (AOAV) said, and an airstrike that killed 45 in an inferno at a tented camp in Rafah in May 2024.

Also unresolved is an inquiry into the killing of 31 Palestinians going to pick up food at a distribution point in Rafah on 1 June.

They were killed

Outerwear retailer Columbia Sportswear has sued Columbia University over alleged trademark infringement and a breach of contract, saying that the university’s merchandise looks too similar to its own offerings and can confuse shoppers.

In a lawsuit filed on 23 July in federal court in Oregon, Columbia Sportswear, whose roots date back to 1938, alleges that the Ivy League university in New York City intentionally violated an agreement the parties signed on 13 June 2023. That agreement dictated how the university could use the word “Columbia” on its own apparel and accessories.

As part of the pact, the university could feature “Columbia” on its merchandise provided that the name included a recognizable

Senior Republican lawmakers are condemning the decision of their party leader, Donald Trump, to fire the leading US labor market statistician after a report that showed the national economy added just 73,000 jobs – far fewer than expected – in July.

The disappointing figures – coupled with a downward revision of the two previous months amounting to 258,000 fewer jobs and data showing that economic output and consumer spending slowed in the first half of the year – point to an overall economic deterioration in the US.

Trump defended his decision to fire US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) commissioner Erika McEntarfer. Without evidence to back his claims, the president wrote
