By Colin Packham (Reuters) - New Zealand has provisionally voted to legalise euthanasia but is on course to reject law changes that would allow recreational marijuana use, the country`s Electoral Commission said on Friday. New Zealand voted on the two referendums this month while casting ballots during a general election that returned Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to power. Issuing preliminary results, the commission said there are nearly half a million mostly overseas-based special votes still to be counted. These votes will not be enough to alter the vote on euthanasia but may be enough to swing the count on recreational marijuana, it said. Full results will be published on Nov. 6, but with more than 65.2% of voters in favour of the recently passed legislation permitting euthanasia, New Zealand will become the seventh country to allow assisted suicide. The law - which allows terminal patients with less than six months to live to request assisted suicide - will come into effect in Nov...

PARIS (Reuters) - Hairdressers across France struggled to keep up with the constant stream of clients on Thursday, their last day of opening before a new lockdown goes into effect which will see them forced to close until Dec. 1. The new lockdown, intended to curb surging corona virus infections in France, entails the closure of bars, restaurants and other businesses open to the public, such as barber shops and hair salons, from Oct. 30, President Emmanuel Macron announced on Wednesday. At the Tchip salon in the northern French city of Cambrai, hairdressers were squeezing in as many appointments as possible due to the sudden demand, hairdresser Cathy Duhautbois told Reuters. "You`d think Christmas had come early," she said. But although this week has seen an increase in appointments, the future looks uncertain. The shop will close at 9 p.m. on Thursday night for as long as the lockdown requires. "It will be difficult for us," Duhautbois said. "The Christmas sea...

WILMINGTON, Del. (Reuters) - U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Wednesday urged calm amid ongoing unrest after a Black man was shot dead this week by police in Philadelphia, saying protesters had a right to peaceful demonstrations but not destruction. "There`s no excuse whatsoever for the looting or the violence," the former vice president told reporters after casting his ballot in Wilmington, Delaware. Protesting Monday`s deadly police shooting of Walter Wallace, 27, "was totally legitimate, totally reasonable," Biden said, but cited Wallace`s father`s plea to end the violence.

By Jonathan Allen and Joseph Ax (Reuters) - Even as the presidential election dominates the country`s attention, Democrats have spent record-breaking sums this year on winning seats in state legislatures, 10 years after a Republican wave gave that party the power to reshape U.S. congressional maps. Democrats have poured tens of millions of dollars into state-level contests to oust Republican lawmakers ahead of 2021, when state legislatures will draw new boundaries for U.S. congressional districts in many states. The redistricting follows this year`s decennial U.S. census, the results of which will determine how many seats each state gets in the U.S. House of Representatives. For both the Democratic and Republican parties, the fiercest fight, and the biggest prize in next Tuesday`s elections, is in Texas, which stands to gain two to three additional seats in the U.S. House. The 2010 elections, which followed the last census, gave Republicans control of 20 additional state legislative ch...

Michael Nguyen, who was born in Vietnam in 1964 and lived in the United States since childhood, was detained in July 2018 on suspicion of anti-government activities, including alleged incitement of protesters to attack government offices with Molotov cocktails and slingshots, state media reported at the time. "I was essentially kidnapped, myself and three others, taken off a bus," Nguyen, the father of four daughters, said of his detention. "No reason was given to me. No credentials were presented to me. I was blindfolded, handcuffed and put into a car by people in civilian clothes." He said he was interrogated "for 16 hours at a time for days." His trial came...

New York, Oct 28 (IANS) A prosecutor has asked parents to monitor children`s use of social media and gaming sites after the Indian-origin vice president of a financial firm and others were arrested in a sting operation against child sex in New Jersey. Digant R. Patel (46), was listed on Tuesday by Somerset County Prosecutor Michael Robertson as one of 12 men arrested when they allegedly came to meet persons who they thought were minors but were undercover law enforcement personnel they had met online in social media or on gaming sites in the action called "Operation Spotlight". Robertson said in a press release that after contact was made and "chatting began, the undercover officers clearly identified themselves as underage girls or boys. Despite that information, the defendants engaged the `children` in conversations about sex and made arrangements to meet the `children` for sex". "The defendants were arrested when they arrived at one of three pre-arranged loc...

By Alexandra Alper and Jeff Mason WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A political adviser to U.S. Vice President Mike Pence is suspected of sparking an outbreak of the coronavirus on his team that sidelined a senior official days before the presidential election, according to a current White House official and a former official familiar with the matter. Marty Obst, a political strategist for Pence, was determined by contact tracers from the White House Medical Unit to be the likely origin of the outbreak, the two people said. Obst did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Obst, who does not draw a government salary, accompanied Pence to rallies in Bangor, Maine and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Monday, Oct. 19, the White House official said. "If you had to pick a patient zero it was Marty and he brought it in from the outside," the White House official said, declining to be named since he was not authorized to speak on the matter. A spokesman for Pence said Marc Short, Pence`s chi...

By Lisa Shumaker and Maria Caspani CHICAGO (Reuters) - Nearly half a million people in the United States have contracted the novel coronavirus in the last seven days, according to a Reuters tally, as cases and hospitalizations set fresh records in hot spots in the Midwest. More than 5,600 people died from the virus nationwide in the last week, with hospitalizations shooting up 13%, a Reuters analysis showed. Illinois, which has emerged as a hot spot in recent weeks, reported over 31,000 new cases in the last seven days, more new infections than any other state except Texas. To try and contain the surge, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker imposed fresh rounds of restrictions in six of 11 regions. Indoor dining in bars and restaurants will be suspended by Wednesday and gatherings will be limited to 25 people under a state formula that triggers `mitigation` when the positivity rate tops 8% for at least two days in a row.
