NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Sudanese asylum seeker accused of blinding a Belfast man in one eye during a stabbing attack appeared in court Wednesday as anti-immigrant unrest spread across Northern Ireland.
Hadi Alodid, 30, was ordered to be held in jail after appearing by video in Belfast Magistrates’ Court, where prosecutors accused him of blinding Stephen Ogilvie in his left eye during Monday’s attack.
Alodid was charged with attempted murder, threatening to kill a radiographer and possessing a knife. He declined legal representation through an Arabic interpreter and did not enter a plea.
The attack, which occurred shortly after 10:30 p.m. Monday in north Belfast and was captured in graphic video footage that quickly spread online, sparked outrage and fueled demonstrations that turned violent overnight. Police said Ogilvie, a man in his 40s, suffered serious injuries to his face, neck, back and eyes, and officers recovered what they believe was a kitchen knife from the scene.

Video circulating online appeared to show members of the public confronting the attacker, including one person wielding a hurling stick. PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson praised the bystanders as «heroic,» saying their intervention helped save the victim’s life.
Police said Alodid entered Northern Ireland from the Republic of Ireland in 2023, applied for asylum and was granted a five-year permit to remain. Authorities initially identified him as Somali before later correcting his nationality to Sudanese.
PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson said investigators had «no information to suggest that this was a terrorist-related incident» and were not seeking additional suspects.

Masked men set fire to several homes they believed housed immigrants following the incident. They also burned trash bins, torched a Belfast bus and threw objects at police officers. Firefighters rescued multiple people from burning homes.
Police said they had declared a critical incident and increased their presence across Northern Ireland amid concerns about further unrest.

«I’ve lived on my street for almost 10 years, I have a good relationship with my neighbors, but last night was a horrific one,» he told Reuters. «We don’t know what to do. I’m scared. Seeing this, I’m wondering if I’m next.»
First Minister Michelle O’Neill of Sinn Fein described the unrest as «thuggery.»
«Groups of masked men burning families out of their homes is nothing less than disgusting cowardice,» she said.

Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly of the Democratic Unionist Party said that «taking frustration at the evil actions of a person out on those who had no part in it is utterly wrong.»
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the stabbing attack «sickening» and condemned violence targeting people because of their background.

«The scenes in Belfast last night were shocking and completely unacceptable,» Starmer wrote on X. «There is no justification for the violence and disorder that we saw threatening our communities, nor for those who encouraged it, online or elsewhere. It is clear that people were targeted last night because of their background and I will not tolerate it.»

Some politicians said the stabbing should prompt a review of the open border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, a highly sensitive issue because free movement across the border is a central pillar of the peace process that largely ended decades of violence known as «The Troubles.» The conflict involving Irish republican and British loyalist militants, as well as U.K. security forces, left nearly 3,600 people dead before the 1998 peace accord.
Much of Tuesday’s unrest took place in working-class areas where former paramilitary groups continue to wield influence.

Henry Nowak, who was White, was killed by Vickrum Digwa, a Sikh man who falsely claimed to police that he had been the victim of a racist assault by Nowak. Officers initially treated the wounded Nowak as a suspect before recognizing his injuries and attempting to save his life.

Digwa was convicted of murder and sentenced last week to life in prison with a minimum term of 21 years. The case has fueled debate about policing and race, and a protest following the killing turned violent, with some participants attacking officers with chairs and rocks. Several people were later charged with violent disorder.

Harris reaches out to socialist mayor Mamdani in latest sign she’s shoring up support for possible 2028 bid
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Former Vice President Kamala Harris is courting New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and other progressive power players as 2028 speculation builds around another possible White House bid.
The phone call with Mamdani last week, first reported by Axios and confirmed by Fox News Digital, along with other closed-door meetings with progressive groups, suggests Harris is trying to shore up support from factions of the party that didn’t support her during her 2024 run.
Additionally, Harris met with progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., behind the scenes at a Black women empowerment summit in Chicago, Axios first reported, and Fox News Digital confirmed.
Harris reportedly has also been reaching out to pro-Palestinian groups after she faced pushback from those groups during her 2024 presidential run. Harris reached out to at least one group that was part of the «Uncommitted Movement» that developed as a result of President Joe Biden’s handling of the Israel and Gaza conflict.

Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani and Harris’ office for comment.
News of the Harris and Mamdani call sparked criticism from conservatives online.
«Kamala Harris 2020 was desperate, Kamala Harris 2024 was pathetic, Kamala Harris 2028 will be unhinged,» GOP political strategist Nathan Brand posted on X.
Mamdani’s influence in the party has only grown since he was sworn into office in January, as highlighted by a clean sweep of socialist-aligned candidates he endorsed winning their races in the New York Democratic primary last month.

«The fact that she’s courting people like Mamdani, these socialists and communists, it goes back to the radical leftists, because the Democrats are in big trouble as a party,» RNC chair Joe Gruters exclusively told Fox News Digital on Wednesday.
«They’re in the death spiral, because now they have these people inside their tent,» he continued. «This is who the Democratic Party is today: these radical leftists that want to fundamentally transform our country. And that’s why we have to fight. That’s why we have to come together, unite, and we have to win. We have to win to save the country. We have to win to move our policies forward. There’s a lot at stake. Certainly, Kamala Harris, the meeting with Mamdani and these radicals shows you where the left continues to go where they want to go, but listen, she has to kowtow to these radicals to try to win.»
Earlier this year, Harris made stops in the crucial primary state of South Carolina less than a week after she dropped a tantalizing comment at the first major cattle call of Democratic presidential contenders.

«I might. I might. I’m thinking about it… I’ll keep you posted,» Harris said in April at the National Action Network’s 35th Anniversary Convention, when asked by the event founder, the Rev. Al Sharpton, if she would seek the presidency in 2028.
Harris, who replaced then-President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee but later lost the election to President Donald Trump, was greeted by the crowd with chants of «run again.»

Before Henry Ford rolled out the Model T, before the Wright brothers took to the skies and before the Statue of Liberty welcomed millions to America’s shores, Corning was already charting a course of innovation that continues today.
Best known to many Americans for the glass products that have been fixtures in kitchens for generations, Corning has also spent decades developing technologies that quietly transformed the modern world. From the glass used in Thomas Edison’s light bulbs to the durable screens protecting billions of smartphones.
Nearly 175 years after its founding, Corning is once again helping shape a technological revolution. As demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure surges, the New York-based manufacturer is ramping up production of optical fiber, the backbone of the high-speed networks powering AI.
The company is also partnering with NVIDIA, the chipmaker at the center of the AI boom, to create 3,000 jobs in two states.

At a time when many Americans worry artificial intelligence will replace human workers, Corning Chairman, CEO and President Wendell Weeks says the opposite is happening inside one of the nation’s oldest manufacturers.
«AI is a huge job creator, and it’s a huge manufacturing job creator,» Weeks told Fox News Digital.
He said the AI boom is driving demand for Corning’s optical fiber while fueling the company’s fastest period of growth in nearly two centuries.
«As a 175-year-old company, we’re going through our fastest growth period,» Weeks said. «We will probably double our size over the coming years and almost all of our new hires will be in advanced manufacturing, a significant part of them right here in America.»
That growth is already taking shape on Corning’s factory floors.

«As the world develops and tells us what it needs, we’re right there at the forefront,» Emily Capek, planning supervisor at Corning’s Wilmington, North Carolina, facility told Fox News Digital.
She said employees are seeing firsthand how demand for AI platforms is driving the need for Corning’s products.
«Right now, the world needs our glass optical fiber to support the AI demand we’re seeing,» Capek said. «It’s a great feeling on the factory floor.»
Her comments reflect a much broader trend. While much of the attention surrounding AI has focused on chipmakers and software developers, companies like Corning are supplying the glass technology that connects AI systems and supports the industry’s rapid expansion. That investment is already translating into the opening of new U.S. factories and creation of American jobs.

Earlier this year, NVIDIA partnered with Corning to build three advanced optical manufacturing facilities in North Carolina and Texas. It’s expected to create more than 3,000 jobs across both states while expanding Corning’s U.S. optical manufacturing capacity tenfold.
Having worked with innovators such as Apple co-founder Steve Jobs during his career, Weeks said he’s proud to now partner with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang as Corning helps build the infrastructure powering the AI revolution.
While companies like NVIDIA have become synonymous with artificial intelligence, Weeks said many people overlook the role optical fiber plays in connecting AI systems.
«The common story is AI being powered by chips, but actually, those chips are connected by glass,» Weeks said.
The AI manufacturing boom isn’t just fueling growth at longtime American companies like Corning. It’s also attracting foreign investment into U.S. manufacturing. Wistron, a Taiwan-based electronics manufacturer, is establishing AI supercomputer manufacturing operations in Texas for NVIDIA, bringing advanced manufacturing jobs to the state.
«Building in America is essential for speed, resilience and strategic advantage,» Wistron Chairman Simon Lin told Fox News Digital.
«Texas offers the talent, industrial strength, and strategic location to help power the next generation of AI infrastructure, while creating durable, high-value jobs at scale for the local workforce,» he added.

As America marks 250 years of independence, Weeks said the country’s next chapter of innovation will depend not only on breakthrough ideas, but on manufacturing them at home.
«The tools change, but the approach doesn’t,» Weeks said.
