October 11, 2024Japanese organization wins Nobel Peace Prize; Milton cleanup begins
The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Nihon Hidankyo, a Japanese organization of survivors of the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, for its activism against nuclear weapons.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Florida residents are repairing the damage caused by Hurricane Milton and figuring out what to do next. The storm smashed through coastal communities, tore homes to pieces, flooded streets and spawned a barrage of deadly tornadoes.

The state’s vital tourism industry is beginning to return to normal. Florida theme parks including Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld planned to reopen Friday.
