Prince William and Princess Kate won their privacy case against Paris Match after the French magazine published long-lens photos and details of their April ski break in the Alps with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. A Nanterre court, presided over by Ms. Sandrine Gil, ruled in September that the piece infringed their privacy and image rights. The couple requested a judicial notice rather than damages, which was published Thursday, Oct. 30; the publishers paid their legal costs. Their office said they will act again to protect private family time.

Billie Eilish used an award acceptance speech Wednesday night, with Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg in the audience, to question why the mega rich let wealth accumulate and to urge billionaires to give, saying people need empathy and help. Fashion editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson applauded on Threads, saying Gen Z will call Zuck an evil dork to his face. Zuckerberg has signed The Giving Pledge and, with Chan, vowed in 2015 to donate 99% of their Facebook shares, then worth $45 billion, through the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Celebrity criticism of extreme wealth has intensified, from Ms. Rachel to Rosie O’Donnell.

Russia launched 705 missiles and drones across Ukraine overnight, Ukraine’s air force said, striking civilian sites and energy facilities from Kyiv to regions spanning the southeast to the Polish border. The barrage—653 drones and 52 missiles—was the second-largest of the war; 592 drones and 31 missiles were intercepted, while 16 missiles and 63 drones hit 20 locations. At least four people were killed, including two in a Zaporizhzhia residential building strike that injured tens, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, urging tougher sanctions. Russia’s Defense Ministry said it downed at least 173 Ukrainian drones, including six headed toward Moscow.

After a jury convicted former sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson of second-degree murder in the fatal kitchen shooting of 36-year-old Sonya Massey, her father voiced anger, saying a harsher verdict was warranted. Jurors deliberated about 12 hours before finding Grayson guilty on a lesser count; he faces up to 20 years at a January sentencing. The trial centered on disturbing body-camera video, as prosecutors said he failed to render aid and the defense claimed self-defense. Grayson’s mother apologized to the family. Sangamon County settled for $10 million earlier this year.

Jolted by a pre-dawn call, Questlove turns from dread to memory, charting his three-decade bond with D’Angelo: late nights at Electric Lady, the shock of Michael Jackson’s Morphine bridge, mischievous pranks, and the fierce, technical focus that birthed Voodoo and remade Black music. He recalls swapping tracks with Common, a blistering soundcheck that ripped faux-leather pants as Halle Berry watched, and D’s vintage-only approach on Black Messiah. Recent rehearsals and hospital visits gave way to quiet, spiritual conversations — a surprising, tender healing between brothers.

For four decades, paleontologists argued whether small tyrannosaur fossils were teenage T. rex or something else. A Nature study identifies a North Carolina specimen as Nanotyrannus: analyses of the museum's dueling dinosaurs tyrannosaur show a nearly mature 20 year old with anatomy unlike T. rex, including larger forelimbs, a vestigial third finger, more teeth, distinct skull nerves, and fewer tail vertebrae. The team places Nanotyrannus on an early tyrannosaur branch and names Jane as Nanotyrannus lethaeus. Outside experts call the adult identification decisive, though debate over Jane continues.

Days after the abrupt demolition of the White House East Wing, Sen. Edward Markey demanded proof that contractor ACECO followed federal rules for asbestos and lead removal, echoing warnings from the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization. The White House says an extensive assessment and September abatement met standards, but ADAO says no public evidence backs that. Doctors caution of serious health risks, and experts question the project's speed and debris handling. A new poll shows 56% oppose the teardown. Some workers signed NDAs. Markey requested answers by Nov. 12.

The government shutdown delivered $0 paychecks to some FAA employees, forcing essential workers to keep the skies safe while families keep heat off, burn firewood, and tighten belts. Radar technician Cleverson Schmidt in Washington, DC, continues certifying aircraft systems without pay, juggling creditors and side jobs. In Boston, a controller’s spouse says grueling schedules, missed family time, and new financial strain are fueling exhaustion and anger; some controllers are calling out sick, triggering delays. Union PASS says it represents about 11,000 FAA staff, roughly 5,000 now working unpaid, with no clear end in sight.

On the first day of early voting, New Jersey Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli spotlighted the state's Latino clout, citing more than two million residents of Hispanic descent and over 500,000 Puerto Ricans, while campaigning beside Puerto Rico's Republican governor. Latino voters are a pivotal swing bloc in the race and a test of whether Mr. Trump's gains last year among Hispanics will endure. Mr. Trump lost New Jersey by less than six points in 2024, even as all 29 majority Hispanic townships moved his way by an average of 25 points.

Five people were arrested Thursday in a case linked to the 2023 overdose deaths of Robert De Niro’s grandson and Chris Stein’s daughter, according to law enforcement sources. Prosecutors said the defendants—Grant McIver, Bruce Epperson, Eddie Barreto, John Nicolas and Roy Nicolas—were part of a network that pushed thousands of counterfeit opioid pills laced with fentanyl to teens and young adults in New York City. The indictment attributes three 19-year-old deaths to the fentanyl pills, including Leandro De Niro-Rodriguez and Akira Stein; their names were confirmed to ABC News.
