Vance pays a claim to Trump and affirms in his first speech that they are united to win

The Ohio senator J.D. Vance, elected by Donald Trump to be his vice president in case of returning to power, gave him a plea in his first speech, during the Republican National Convention, and thanked him for not taking the easy path because although “he did not need politics, politics needed him.”

“The man I have personally met in recent years is tough, but he cares about people. He can be defiant to a murderer in one moment, and urge national recovery in the next,” he said in Milwaukee, where he stressed that both “they love the country and are united to win.”

“I will never take for granted the trust you have placed in me. What an honor to help you capture the extraordinary vision you have for the country. I promise all Americans, whatever party it is, that I will give everything at their service,” he added.

Vance, 39 years old and whose intervention had been preceded by that of his wife, Usha Chilukuri Vance, said that this Wednesday night was “a night of hope, a celebration of what the United States once was.”

“And with the grace of God it will be again,” he said, recalling that it cannot be forgotten that this moment could have been very different, if Thomas Matthew Crooks had missed his shot on Saturday during a rally in Pennsylvania and the bullet would have killed Trump instead of touching his ear.

With a slow tone, he stressed that Trump represents the last hope of something that has been lost and may not be found again: “A country where a working-class boy, far from the corridors of power, can be in this scenario as the next vice president of the United States.”

“But this moment is not about me, but about all of us and who we are fighting for. This is an automotive sector worker in Michigan who wonders why politicians are destroying their jobs. This is the worker of a Wisconsin factory who does things with his hands and is proud of American craftsmanship.”

Vance alluded to his humble origins and gave part of the prominence to his mother, acclaimed by those present at the Fiserv stadium. “A single mother who had a hard time with money and addictions but never gave up: I am proud to say that my mother has been sober for ten years.”

The senator stressed that Trump created “the best economy in history for workers” and asked the public to imagine what he will achieve if he gets another four years in the White House in case of winning on November 5.

Trump commissioned him by announcing that it would be his “number two” to focus “strongly on the people he fought for so brilliantly, American workers and farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota,” all of them key states, and “much beyond.”

“We are going to build factories again, put people to make real products for American families, made by American workers. We will protect the salaries of Americans and stop China from raising its middle class at the expense of Americans,” he concluded.

Man arrested after deliberately driving into seven children in Osaka

Japanese police arrested a man on Thursday after he rammed his car into a group of seven schoolchildren in an apparent deliberate attack in the city of Osaka.

The children, who were on their way home from school, sustained injuries and were taken to the hospital. All seven remained conscious, according to local authorities.

An Osaka police officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the suspect is a 28-year-old man from Tokyo. The officer shared statements the man made after his arrest: “I was fed up with everything, so I decided to kill people by driving into several elementary school children,” the suspect reportedly said.

The man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

The injured children, aged between seven and eight, included a seven-year-old girl who suffered a fractured jaw. The six other children—all boys—suffered minor injuries such as bruises and scratches and were undergoing medical evaluation.

Witnesses described the car as “zigzagging” before hitting the children. One witness told Nippon TV that a girl was “covered in blood” and the others appeared to have scratches.

Another witness said the driver, who was wearing a face mask, looked to be in shock when school staff pulled him from the vehicle.

Violent crimes are rare in Japan, though serious incidents do occur from time to time. In 2008, Tomohiro Kato drove a two-ton truck into pedestrians in Tokyo’s Akihabara district, then fatally stabbed several victims. Seven people were killed in that attack.

Clashes erupt during may day protests across France amid calls for better wages

May Day protests in France were marked by a heavy police presence and clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement in several cities.

In Paris, Lyon, and Nantes, thousands took to the streets to demand better wages, fairer working conditions, and to voice their dissatisfaction with President Emmanuel Macron’s government.

While the majority of the demonstrations remained peaceful, isolated confrontations broke out in some areas. Protesters threw objects at the police, prompting the use of tear gas and resulting in several arrests.

Videos showing police crackdowns circulated widely on social media, drawing criticism from labor unions and human rights advocates, who denounced the authorities’ response to the protests.

Kristi Noem credits Trump for mass migrant deportations by mexican president

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem claimed that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has deported “more than half a million” migrants due to pressure from former President Donald Trump.

During a cabinet meeting highlighting the “achievements” of Trump’s administration in its first 100 days, Noem asserted that under the Republican leader’s influence, “Mexico has finally come to the table” to negotiate on migration and fentanyl trafficking.

“The president of Mexico told me she has returned just over half a million people before they reached our border,” Noem stated, criticizing media reports that suggest the Biden administration deported more migrants than Trump’s.

“I wish those deportations were counted,” Noem added, “because those people never made it to our border—she sent them back because you made her.” She went on to thank Trump: “They never made it here because they got the message—because you were so aggressive.”

Noem has made controversial claims about Sheinbaum in the past, prompting the Mexican leader to refute them.

On April 1, Sheinbaum responded to one such statement by declaring, “The president answers to only one authority, and that is the people of Mexico,” after Noem said on Fox News that she gave Sheinbaum “a list of things Trump would like to see” and that Mexico’s actions would determine whether Trump granted tariff relief.
