Florida Power & Light is conducting its annual mock hurricane drill this week, simulating how it would respond if a hurricane struck the state and devastated the power grid. Ian was one of the worst disasters ever to strike Florida, killing 150 people as it hit the Gulf Coast near Fort Myers in 2022, leaving millions without power.
The United States is deeply troubled by actions taken against those protesting a draft law in Georgia and the government should change its course, U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Thursday. Georgian security forces have repeatedly deployed tear gas, pepper spray and water cannon against protesters who have been staging almost daily demonstrations for around a month against the government's "foreign agents" bill. The protesters say the bill is authoritarian and inspired by similar legislation in Russia that has been used to clamp down on dissent there.

U.S. District Judge Kevin Castel in Manhattan rejected Hernandez's argument that the conviction was tainted because a U.S. drug enforcement agent testified that cocaine trafficking in Honduras went up during his presidency, though it went down. In a decision on Thursday, Castel also rejected Hernandez's argument that New York was the wrong place to try him.
