Deltona approves construction pause over flooding issues
SUMMARY: Deltona city council approved a temporary pause on new construction due to ongoing flooding problems from Hurricane Milton, despite legal warnings that the move violates Florida’s Senate Bill 180 signed by Governor Ron DeSantis. Residents like Tracy Giordano and Judy Ellis described severe flooding that trapped people and damaged homes. The moratorium passed 4-3, with concerns it could lead to lawsuits since the law prohibits such pauses. Mayor Santiago Avila Jr. opposed the motion, aiming to repeal it within 14 days to avoid costly legal battles. The council also authorized exploring a coalition with nearby cities to challenge SB 180.

Ozzy Osbourne says farewell to live performance with a hometown show for 40,000 fans
SUMMARY: Ozzy Osbourne, the heavy metal icon, performed what he says was his last-ever live show at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, with the original Black Sabbath lineup. Despite his Parkinson’s diagnosis, Osbourne sang from a black throne, urging fans to “let the madness begin” and expressing heartfelt thanks. Joined onstage for the first time in 20 years by bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, they closed with the classic “Paranoid.” The event was part of a metal festival featuring Anthrax, Metallica, and Guns N’ Roses, with tributes from celebrities like Elton John. Osbourne’s career began in 1968 with Black Sabbath, and he gained mainstream fame in the 2000s through MTV’s “The Osbournes.”

Protesters take to South Florida streets to speak out against Trump’s immigration policies
SUMMARY: Protesters in South Florida rallied for the second consecutive day against the Trump administration’s immigration policies, particularly after ICE received additional funding and a new detention center opened in the Everglades. Demonstrators gathered outside the Broward Transitional Center, where Marie Ange Blaise, a 44-year-old Haitian woman, died in ICE custody in April. Democratic Congresswoman Sheila McCormack called for a hearing to investigate Blaise’s death amid concerns over the treatment of immigrants. Organizers and protesters condemned the new detention facility, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” citing its dangerous location surrounded by wildlife and inhumane conditions. ICE’s funding increase supports more agents and facilities.
CBS News Miami’s Steve Maugeri was there during the demonstrations.

Iran’s supreme leader makes first public appearance since Iran-Israel war started
SUMMARY: Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made his first public appearance since the 12-day war with Israel began, attending a mourning ceremony in Tehran. During the conflict, Khamenei stayed in a bunker amid heightened threats. The war involved Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and Iranian missile retaliation, causing over 900 Iranian deaths and significant nuclear facility damage. Iran has since suspended cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog. The ceremony commemorated the martyrdom of Hussein, a pivotal figure in Shiite Islam, reflecting deep religious and political significance in Iran’s identity and current tensions.
