The MTA New York City Transit, which operates one of the world’s oldest and densest subway systems (operating 365 days a year, 24 hours a day), said a large pipe under the roadway had ruptured at at 7th Avenue and 40th Street in Manhattan. Traffic was obviously interrupted and the water supply cut off in the area.

Donald Trump has been out of power since January 2021. Yet one of his achievements continues to be built: the border wall between Mexico and the United States. On October 5, the Biden administration quietly announced the construction of a new section in the southeast. A measure that the president tried to minimize publicly, but which could well be a political strategy.
By train or on foot, since January, 245,000 illegal immigrants have attempted to enter American territory via the Rio Grande, on the border with Mexico. In one year, this represents an increase of around 20%. Sometimes arrested by Mexican border police, migrants often try their luck again the next day. Risking their lives, prospective immigrants pile up by the hundreds on the roofs of this freight train heading to the United States, which we see in the TF1 report above. Americans have seen images like these almost every day for months.
Faced with this situation, the Democratic president therefore made this unexpected announcement. Nearly 30 kilometers of additional wall will be built along the Rio Grande, the river that marks the border with Mexico for more than 2,000 kilometers. The White House tenant says he has no choice. “The budget law which financed the construction of the wall was already on track. I could not stop it”, defended Joe Biden following the discreet announcement of this measure. In front of journalists, he assures again: this wall will be totally ineffective in fighting illegal immigration.

The website of the Ukrainian presidency, on the morning of September 23, returned in detail to Olena Zelenska’s busy schedule in Ottawa the day before. “During her visit to Canada, the first lady held several meetings and participated in the conclusion of a Ukrainian-Canadian medical partnership with the Atlas Institute for Veterans and Families”, we can read. Each appointment is carefully documented and illustrated with a series of photos. It is difficult to envisage, in this context, an express excursion to New York, approximately 550 kilometers away as the crow flies.
In the middle of the day, Olena Zelenska went to the House of Commons of Canada (the lower house of Parliament), alongside her husband. A meeting which preceded a plane flight to Toronto, where the couple was expected in the evening. Their arrival was also largely related in the press.
In addition to these logistical elements, the accusations made against the first lady also emanate from a account Instagram which today has no subscriptions or subscribers. And that the rare sites to have mentioned alleged purchases of jewelry were content to relay the elements posted online on social networks. We can finally imagine that the presence of a public figure like Olena Zelenska in New York City would have given rise to the relay of a series of testimonies or images, especially if she had visited a neighborhood as populated as Manhattan. However, there is no document which confirms such a presence.

Local law number 18, which came into force at the beginning of the month, “is so strict that it not only limits the operation of Airbnb in the city”, assure the Wired website. In practice, “it almost completely prohibits it for many travelers and hosts”since drastic rules apply for any rental of less than 30 days.
From now on, all hosts who offer short-term rentals in New York are required to register with the city and pay a tax ($145 to be paid every two years). Even more restrictive, only those who live in the accommodation they rent (and are present when someone is staying) can register with the authorities. Also forget about large families, since guests can only accommodate two people at the same time, in a room which must remain accessible. This compulsory registration with the municipality “introduces a clear procedure for hosts who respect the city’s long-standing laws and protects travelers from illegal and dangerous accommodations”, estimated a New York official. And this, “by putting an end to the proliferation of illegal short-term rentals”.
