A jury of 12 people has been seated in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial in New York. Alternates are now being selected. The rapid progress Thursday afternoon propels the case closer to opening statements and weeks of testimony in a case charging the Republican with falsifying business records to suppress stories about his sex life in the final days of the 2016 election. The jury includes a sales professional, a software engineer, an English teacher and multiple lawyers. The case centers on $130,000 Trump’s lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen paid to porn actor Stormy Daniels. Trump faces 34 felony counts. He denies any wrongdoing.
The judge in Donald Trump's hush money trial has ordered the media not to report where potential jurors have worked. Judge Juan Merchan also asked journalists on Thursday to show some discretion on what they say about the potential jurors as he tries to seat a jury pool of people who can remain anonymous. Two jurors who had earlier been seated were dismissed on Thursday, with one expressing concern about people she knew questioning her about whether she was on the jury. Besides showing the difficulties in seating an anonymous jury, the actions may put news organizations in the difficult position of not reporting something they heard in an open courtroom.

The United States has vetoed a widely backed U.N. resolution that would have paved the way for full United Nations membership for Palestine. The resolution voted on Thursday afternoon would have raised the Palestinians' status from a non-member observer state to full membership. U.S. deputy ambassador Robert Wood told the council the U.S. veto “does not reflect opposition to Palestinian statehood, but instead is an acknowledgment that it will only come from direct negotiations between the parties.” This is the second Palestinian attempt for full membership and it comes as the war in Gaza has put the more than 75-year-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict at center stage.

The United Arab Emirates is struggling to recover from the heaviest recorded rainfall ever to hit the desert nation, as its main airport worked to restore normal operations even as floodwater still covered portions of major highways and roads. Dubai International Airport, the world’s busiest for international travel, allowed global carriers on Thursday morning to again fly into Terminal 1 at the airfield.
