NEW YORK — The flood of migrants coming into New York City has slowed to a trickle, Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday as he praised President Joe Biden’s “decompression” strategy to lower the number of asylum seekers who’ve strained the city’s social services system.
Adams, who was speaking at an unrelated press conference on the Lower East Side, said the city is now seeing far fewer buses filled with asylum seekers — a stark contrast to the eight to ten busloads the city had been receiving per day prior to the president’s new policy.

The FIFA World Cup may be bringing as many as 1.2 million fans to Qatar, but the nearby flashy emirate of Dubai is also looking to cash in on the major sports tournament taking place just a short flight away. Some soccer fan clubs already say they’ll be commuting during the cup to Qatar on 45-minute flights from Dubai, the skyscraper-studded, beachfront city-state in the United Arab Emirates. Dubai’s airlines, bars, restaurants, shopping malls and other attractions hope to benefit, further boosting their rebounding tourism industry in the crucial fall and winter months and after the blows delivered by the coronavirus pandemic.

Framber Valdez made a five-run lead stand up after Houston’s lightning first-inning burst, Alex Bregman homered and the Astros beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-2 to tie the World Series at one game apiece. Just like in Game 1, the Astros rushed to a 5-0 lead. Unlike ace Justin Verlander in the opener, Valdez and Houston held on. Valdez rebounded from a pair of poor outings in last year’s Series to pitch shutout ball into the seventh, and the bullpen survived a couple of jams to close things out. Jose Altuve, Jeremy Peña and Yordan Alvarez all doubled as Houston took a two-run lead four pitches in against Zack Wheeler. An error allowed another run in the first and Bregman added a two-run homer in the fifth.
A Philippine official says many victims of a huge mudslide in a southern coastal village had thought a tsunami was approaching and ran to higher ground at the foot of a mountain and were instead hit by a boulder-laden mudslide set off by torrential rains from Tropical Storm Nalgae. At least 18 bodies have been dug out by rescuers in the muddy mound that now covers much of Kusiong village in Maguindanao province, among the hardest-hit by Tropical Storm Nalgae, which blew out of the northwestern Philippines on Sunday. Officials fear 80 to 100 more people, including entire families, may have been buried by the mudslide in Kusiong, according to Naguib Sinarimbo, the interior minister for a Muslim autonomous region run by former separatist guerrillas.
HOUSTON — The slider that Zack Wheeler threw to Alex Bregman in the bottom of the fifth inning wouldn’t have been more alarming if it was flashing red and blue. It did not dart, or dive, or act in any other way like a pitch that normally comes from Wheeler’s right hand. It was just kind of there.
Kyle Schwarber had big swings on consecutive pitches for the Philadelphia Phillies when they needed a comeback in Game 2 of the World Series. But two drives that totaled 756 feet in the eighth inning didn’t result in a much-needed home run. The Phillies go home even in the World Series after their 5-2 loss to the Houston Astros on Saturday night. The first ball off Schwarber’s bat was ruled foul after a replay review — the slugger had already trotted around the bases. When Schwarber got back in the box, he hit a ball that was caught at the right-field wall.
Jalin Hyatt caught five passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns to lead No. 3 Tennessee to a 44-6 victory over No. 19 Kentucky. Hyatt broke the school record for touchdowns in a season with 14 and set up the Volunteers for their showdown with No. 1 Georgia next Saturday. The Wildcats struggled in the latest edition of the border rivalry. Kentucky’s Will Levis, projected as one of the top quarterbacks in the upcoming NFL draft, was intercepted three times and sacked four times.
Somalia’s president says at least 100 people were killed in Saturday’s two car bombings at a busy junction in the capital and the toll could rise. President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud in a statement at the site of the explosions told journalists early Sunday that nearly 300 other people were wounded. It was the deadliest attack in Somalia since a truck bombing at the same spot in October 2017 killed more than 500 people. Somalia’s government has blamed the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab extremist group, which often targets the capital. The group doesn’t make claims of responsibility when large numbers of civilians are killed.

Brazilians are voting Sunday in a polarizing presidential runoff election pitting far-right President Jair Bolsonaro against his political nemesis, former leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Both are well-known, divisive figures who stir passion as much as loathing. The incumbent vows to safeguard conservative Christian values, while the challenger promises to return the country to a more prosperous past. More than 120 million Brazilians are expected to cast ballots. Because the vote is conducted electronically, the final result is usually available within hours of the polls closing.
