ALBANY, Ga. — Three teenagers and one adult have been arrested and charged with murder in connection with the death of 15-year-old Austin Payne, according to the Albany Police Department (APD).
The department says officers responded to the 800 block of Cameo Lane on Nov. 1, 2026, after receiving a report of an incident. When officers arrived, they found Payne dead inside an abandoned home.

Ontario’s top court has drawn the line on when the immigration consequences of a sentence veer into unfit punishment in the case of a woman who struck a stranger in the head with a tossed table and two glass bottles.
It dismissed the Mississauga, Ont., woman’s claim that the judge, who sentenced her to a year in jail for the “gratuitous” attack that left her female victim with permanent and disfiguring injuries, failed to properly consider adverse immigration consequences.
The city of Harwood in North Dakota does not have much to put it on the map. With a population of 794, the town is best known for a heroic operation in 1997 when locals built a five-mile wall to keep out floods, as well as its wonderfully relaxed local motto: “It’s all good.”
Harwood’s easygoing nature became more apparent this week when it became the only place in America to vote in favour of data centres. Around 325 voters, three quarters of turnout, voted against a proposal to slow large industrial developments including data centres. The measure, if passed, may have affected plans for a $3bn (£2.2bn) development by the tech company Applied Digital near the town.
The Democrats’ “Blue Tsunami” on Tuesday washed in a wave of promising firsts: the first Muslim senator, the first openly gay senator, the first Black female governor, the first Indigenous female governor and six transgender and non-binary people who will be the first in their state legislatures.
In addition, the improbable victories of progressive candidates like Abdul El-Sayed (Michigan) and Troy Jackson (Maine), who backed trans rights, abortion access and ending aid to Israel, offered a strong rebuke not only to Trumpism, but also to the conservatism that has leeched across the political spectrum to infect many Democrats.
Katy Perry was all but airbrushed from her ex-husband’s trial but the pop star may have witnessed one of his attacks, it can now be revealed.
In legal argument ahead of the case going before a jury, it was claimed Ms Perry may have been in the room when Russell Brand put his head in a woman’s lap during filming for Channel 4.
Ian Winter KC, defending, said of the 2009 incident: ‘She [the victim] says that other people were in the room and witnessed it, possibly including the defendant’s future wife, Ms Katy Perry.’
A House of Commons committee will not study vandalism, arson, and other criminal attacks against places of worship in Canada after its chair ruled that a proposed study fell outside the committee’s mandate.
Conservative MP Andrew Lawton challenged the ruling, but committee members voted 7-4 to uphold it.
Lawton introduced a motion on Oct. 29 calling on the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage to examine vandalism, arson, shootings, and other criminal attacks against churches, synagogues, mosques and other places of worship across the country.
Claudia Vosen and her 15-year-old daughter were among the women caught in the crowd outside Cologne’s central train station on New Year’s Eve 2015. In roughly 30 minutes, a group of migrant men passed them from one to another, groping and sexually assaulting them from all sides. They were just two victims among 1,200 women who were assaulted on that fateful New Year’s Eve.
Canadians cannot eat a budget announcement. They need their grocery money to go further. That is the test Ottawa’s latest fiscal plan must pass, regardless of how many billions appear beside the word affordability.

Within hours of the November 5 federal budget landing, a post by Jason James was circulating on X, claiming Canada “imported 36.5% of its population in the last 10 years” and calling it “an atomic bomb going off in every major city.”
In its budget, the government has just announced that it will bring 15,000 elderly parents and grandparents each year, under the family reunification program.
That’s 15,000 elderly people a year putting pressure on our hospitals and social services. And they get citizenship, no language test required.
Then they can vote for the politicians who pander to ethnic interests. We are losing our country. Surrey is a foreign nation on our soil.

A foreign member of Antifa violently ambushed me as I was wrapping up a debate stand in Cambridge.
They grabbed the table, threw it at me, and then began attacking both me and my cameraman.
More footage to come. The scenes today were absolutely ridiculous. https://t.co/njO0YNDYmO

Tuesday night saw a lot of upsets for Republicans. Usual Republican stalwarts like South Carolina and Texas went blue. Democrats strengthened their grip on North Carolina, and they dragged Iowa and Ohio back into purple state territory. But while those races garnered national attention before Election Day, the most surprising upset of the night flew completely under just about everyone’s radar.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is not happy about the European Union’s approach to Ukraine negotiations. In a letter to European Council President António Costa this week, she demanded a discussion on who will lead the EU in coming talks, arguing that the bloc’s current fragmentary approach leaves it powerless.
VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 3, 2026 /CNW/ — Over a recent five-year period, the United States added 7.6 private-sector jobs per 1,000 working-aged people, but Canada added none, according to a new study published by the Fraser Institute, an independent non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.

One recent date in particular should be seared into the minds of future historians. That date is 6 November 2025, the moment that the UK completed its slow mutation from a tolerant democracy into an ugly patchwork of sectarian fiefdoms. It was the day that Birmingham hosted a football match from which Jewish Israelis were explicitly banned because the city’s Muslim population demanded it.
