Washington, DC, facing $20 million security funding cut despite Trump complaints of crimeNew Foto - Washington, DC, facing $20 million security funding cut despite Trump complaints of crime

By Courtney Rozen WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Trump administration plans to slash security funding for Washington, D.C., according to a grant notice, even as President Donald Trump asserts crime in the U.S. capital is "totally out of control." The Federal Emergency Management Agency said in a notice posted last week that D.C. and surrounding areas would receive $20 million less this year from its urban security fund, reducing the funding to $25.2 million and amounting to a 44% year-on-year cut. The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees FEMA, said on Friday it cut funds to D.C. and other cities to align with the "current threat landscape." The agency has "observed a shift from large-scale, coordinated attacks like 9/11 to simpler, small-scale assaults, heightening the vulnerability of soft targets and crowded spaces in urban areas," it said. FEMA also cut security money for Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, Jersey City and San Francisco, but the reduction in D.C. was the largest for any urban area that received funding from the program last fiscal year. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser's office did not immediately respond to a Reuters email requesting comment on the funding cuts. The federal security funding covers needs in the National Capital Region, an area that includes D.C. and nearby cities in Maryland and Virginia. Regional officials in the past have used the money to pay for hazmat training, hiring officers and replacing fiber in their emergency communications network, according to a 2016 report from D.C.'s Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency. FEMA has $553.5 million to spend to help cities across the U.S. shore up their security. Reuters could not immediately verify how much of the National Capital Region's total security budget comes from that program. Trump directed federal police on Thursday to step up their presence in the capital, days after staffer Edward Coristine was attacked in D.C. It was the president's latest step toward taking over running the city that is the seat of the U.S. government. Violent crime in D.C. dropped 35% between 2023 and 2024, according to a December report from the U.S. Attorney's Office for D.C. (Reporting by Courtney Rozen; Editing by Nia Williams)

Questions swirl around 'Arab forces' named in Netanyahu's Gaza planNew Foto - Questions swirl around 'Arab forces' named in Netanyahu's Gaza plan

Israel's plan toseize Gaza Cityand hand control of the enclave to unspecified "Arab forces" has not only drawn condemnation by Western governments and aid agencies — some former officials and experts inside Israel say it would be unworkable. Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahuand his security cabinet voted early on Friday for a plan to capture the city in the north of the enclave, one of the few places inside the strip that the Israeli military does not control, while distributing aid to civilians outside combat zones. The five-point plan "for concluding the war" calls for the disarming of Hamas, the return of all hostages and the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, which would be under Israeli security control. It also proposes that a government is established in Gaza that involves neither Islamist militants from Hamas, who have ruled the enclave since 2007, or the Palestinian Authority, the more secular governing body that has overseen parts of the occupied West Bank since the mid-1990s and is internationally recognized. The basics of the plan are likely unfeasible because it relies on cooperation from Arab states that have explicitly said they will not do so under these terms, according to Giora Eiland, a retired Israeli major general and former head of the country's National Security Council. "I don't know whether Netanyahu has any real basis to what he said, whether he has any communication with other countries about the future of Gaza," Eiland told NBC News in a telephone interview Friday. "And I'm afraid that his statement" — about Arab nations being given control of Gaza — "has no real, reliable basis behind it." Arab states such as Egypt and Jordan have "clearly indicated time and again" that a precondition for their involvement would be that the Palestinian Authority becomes a "leading actor" in Gaza's future governance, said Nimrod Goren, president of the Mitvim Institute, an Israeli think tank. Netanyahu had suggested earlier in the war that, rather than the Palestinian Authority or Hamas, he wanted Palestinian "clans" to take control of the enclave, and indeed he confirmed in June that Israel was arming such groups. But his hopes of these "clans taking over Gaza haven't materialized, and aren't expected to," said Goren, who is also an executive board member at Diplomeds, or the Council for Mediterranean Diplomacy, a policy group based in the Netherlands. Ultimately, "the plan approved by the Israeli cabinet is damaging for Israel's national security and foreign policy. It is also unrealistic in terms of its end game," Goren added. All of this reinforces the "common perception in Israel that Netanyahu is acting due to his own political needs, rather than the national good and concern for the Israeli hostages," he said. NBC News has contacted Netanyahu's office for a response to these criticisms. Israel's plan has been met with outcry internationally, with the United Nations and some Western governments warning it would lead to further catastrophe for Palestinians in Gaza, more than 61,000 of whom have been killed in the22 months of war with Israel. Large parts of Gaza's population have been regularly displaced since Israel launched its offensive following theHamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, attacksin which some 1,200 people were killed in Israel and around 250 taken hostage. Crippling aid restrictions in recent months have caused thespiraling hunger crisis in Gaza, the United Nations and aid groups have said. Voices inside Israel have been similarly alarmed by the plan, with the families of hostages and even Israel's own armed forces chief of staff, Eyal Zamir, warning it will lead to the deaths of the remaining captives inside the enclave. Aerial photographs this week showed the utter devastation in the enclave, while Israel's overhauled aid distribution plan has fueled more chaos and hunger. Eiland, the retired Israeli general, supports the war, like the majority of the country's population. Nevertheless, he said he disagreed with Netanyahu's plan because he thinks most of the hostages "will perish" and the Israeli army would "suffer many casualties." Even if Israel managed to somehow execute its plan, "we will not change anything in the approach of Hamas," Eiland added. "On the contrary, it will just give them justification to continuing their guerrilla war against us."

Heidi Klum, 52, Poses Nude in Cheeky New Magazine PhotosNew Foto - Heidi Klum, 52, Poses Nude in Cheeky New Magazine Photos

Heidi Klum, 52, Poses Nude in Cheeky New Magazine Photosoriginally appeared onParade. Heidi Klumlovesa good bikini moment— but she's also not afraid to bare all when the photo shoot calls for it. The 52-year-old supermodel is the cover star forParis Match's latest issue, in which she poses in an array of colorful two pieces, some while posing withhusbandTom Kaulitz, 35. But it's the nude photo from the shoot — that Klum herselfpostedon Instagram — that has everyone's jaws on the floor. In keeping with the shoot's beachy theme, theProject Runwayicon poses completely au natural — including sans makeup — while lying naked atop a wooden table in the tropical setting. Klum, looking as stunning as ever, is covered head-to-toe in a golden glow, her long, blonde hair whipping wildly around her fresh face. While her position carefully conceals her bare chest, Klum's sun-kissed backside is on full display, almost serving as the focal point of the image. In such a natural, relaxed setting, her long, stiletto-shaped nails offer a bold pop of color, painted in a bright red. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Klum is just as well-known forher shockingly transformative Halloween costumesas she is for her stunning photo shoots. Having hosted her Annual Halloween Party for 23 years — going as everything from a disturbingly giant worm to a near-complete replica of E.T. — she toldJimmy Fallonearlier this week thather 2025 costumeis already in the works. And not only is she gearing up for her spooky season bash, she couldn't help but tease fans about what can expect from her this year — telling Fallon that her costume is "extra ugly" and "super scary." As for if it will be another couple's costume with Kaulitz (the pair have previously gone as movie-accurate Shrek and Princess Fiona, among many others) Klum is keeping that answer a secret — until Halloween, that is.
