Rescinding part of those tax cuts and changing the formula for how state transit funding is allocated, by not punishing those systems who raise fairs to lower deficits, cannot be accomplished in the time Thonrburgh has left.

""It really means to me he will continue the work of Leo XIII."" Pope Leo XIII, who was head of the Catholic Church from 1878 to 1903, laid the foundation for modern Catholic social thought, most famously with his 1891 encyclical Rerum Novarum, which addressed workers' rights and capitalism at the dawn of the industrial age. He criticized both laissez-faire capitalism and state-centric socialism, giving shape to a distinctly Catholic vein of economic teaching. The name ""is a deep sign of commitment to social issues,"" said Imperatori-Lee. ""I think this (new) pope is saying something about social justice, by choosing this name, that it is going to be a priority. He is continuing a lot of Francis' ministry."" Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni confirmed that choice of the name Leo was a reference to Leo XIII and the social doctrine of the church, in particular the Rerum Novarum encyclical, considered the Catholic Church's first social encyclical. Another predecessor, Pope Leo I, was known for repelling the barbarian invasion of Atilla the Hun in 452 A.D. and dissuading him from sacking Rome through diplomacy, Italian Cardinal Mauro Piacenza told RAI Italian state TV. He also noted that Pope Leo XIII elevated the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii to a papal basilica in 1901. Leo could also refer to Brother Leo, the 13th century friar who was a great companion of St. Francis of Assisi. By choosing such a name, the new pope could be signaling also a very strong continuity with Francis, who named himself after the saint. For most of the Catholic Church's first millennium, popes used their given names. The first exception was the 6th century Roman Mercurius, who had been named for a pagan god and chose the more appropriate name of John II. The practice of adopting a new name became ingrained during the 11th century, a period of German popes who chose names of early church bishops out of ""a desire to signify continuity,"" according to Rev. Roberto Regoli, a historian at Rome's Pontifical Gregorian University. For many centuries, new popes tended to choose the name of the pope who had elevated them to cardinal. John was the most popular, chosen by 23 popes, followed by Benedict and Gregory, each with 16. It was from the mid-20th century that new popes began to choose names signaling the aim of their papacy, Regoli said. _____ AP writers Nicole Winfield and Vanessa Gera contributed from Rome. ____ Associated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP's collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

Earlier on Thursday, India said it had struck Pakistan's air defences and ""neutralised"" Islamabad's attempts to hit military targets in India on Wednesday night. Pakistan called that action another ""act of aggression"", following Indian missile strikes on Wednesday on targets in Pakistan and Pakistani-administered Kashmir. India's strikes on Wednesday sparked a chorus of calls for de-escalation from the international community with the UN and world leaders calling for calm. The attacks and incidents of shelling along the border have fanned fears of wider conflict erupting between the nuclear-armed states. It is being viewed as the worst confrontation between the two countries in more than two decades. India said it hit nine ""terrorist infrastructure"" sites on Wednesday in retaliation for a militant attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir last month. Pakistan has strongly denied Indian claims that it backed the militants who killed 26 civilians in the mountainous town of Pahalgam. It was the bloodiest attack on civilians in the region for years, sending tensions soaring. Most of the victims were Indian tourists.

This is the second time this month that the appeals court has ruled in favor of the state against ordinances that decriminalize marijuana. The state's 15th Court of Appeals overturned the decision by Travis County District Judge Jan Soifer, who had dismissed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's lawsuit against Austin last year, ruling that there was no legal justification to try the case. The court determined the city law ""abused its discretion"" by putting up any barrier to the full enforcement of drug-related laws. Last week, this same court overturned a lower court ruling that denied a temporary injunction to prevent the city of San Marcos from enforcing its voter-approved ordinance to decriminalize marijuana because it conflicts with current state law. ""Consistent with the City of San Marcos, we conclude that the ordinance in this case is also preempted by state law,"" according to the ruling about Austin's ordinance penned by Judge Scott Field. This is another blow to the progressive drug movement that swept into various cities across the state. Austin Mayor Pro Tem Vanessa Fuentes called the ruling another example of the state stepping on local decisions. ""This court ruling is a huge letdown. Austin voters made their voices loud and clear in 2022, and instead of respecting that, the State has chosen to ignore their will,"" Fuentes said. Austin voters approved a proposition in May 2022 to allow the possession of 4 ounces or less of marijuana. Police already weren't arresting people for low-level possession, in part because it was difficult to differentiate marijuana from hemp, which was legalized in 2019. Voters in four other cities -- San Marcos, Killeen, Elgin and Denton -- also approved policies policies that would end arrests and citations for possession of less than four ounces of marijuana. An initiative spearheaded by Ground Game Texas -- the progressive group that first launched the proposition in Austin -- worked with local organizations in the other cities and succeeded in pushing for similar policies to appear on the ballots. Paxton filed the suit in 2024, alleging Austin was violating state law and promoting ""the use of illicit drugs that harm our communities."" He filed similar suits against San Marcos, Killeen, Denton and Elgin, which also decriminalized pot. Paxton argues the Texas Local Government Code forbids them from adopting policies that would result in not fully enforcing drug-related laws. Paxton is seeking to repeal the city's ordinances and make them enforce state law. Hays County District Judge Sherri Tibbe dismissed Paxton's lawsuit, upholding the argument that the state was not injured when San Marcos reduced arrests for misdemeanor marijuana possession and that it allowed for resources to be used for higher-priority public safety needs. The Office of the Attorney General appealed this decision. In February, the case was assigned to the 15th Court of Appeals, where the state's attorneys argued that the San Marcos ordinance obstructed the enforcement of state drug laws. The city argued the policy was voter-driven, but the court disagreed, granting the temporary injunction while litigation continues. Travis County District Judge Jan Soifer dismissed Paxton's lawsuit against Austin last year, ruling there was no legal justification to try the case. Both Tibbe and Soifer's rulings have now been overturned by the 15th Court of Appeals. This puts the fate of the ordinances in doubt and some cities have already given up on trying to fight the state. Paxton's lawsuit against Elgin was resolved last summer via consent decree, meaning neither side is claiming guilt or liability but has come to an agreement. In the North Texas suburb of Denton, where voters approved decriminalization by more than 70%, the implementation of marijuana decriminalization has stalled after City Manager Sara Hensley argued it couldn't be enforced since it conflicted with state law. The case against Killeen, which was filed in Bell County a year ago, is still pending. The future of THC products in Texas is uncertain. Currently, lawmakers are debating Senate Bill 3, which would ban any consumable hemp products that contain even trace amounts of THC, as well as House Bill 28, which would ban synthetic THC and products like gummies and vapes. The House's proposal focuses more on tightening regulatory loopholes, allowing hemp-infused beverages and assigning the alcohol industry to regulate those products. HB 28 would also limiting the consumption of such products to those 21 years or older and implement advertising regulations. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said he would move to force a special legislative session if lawmakers fail to pass the ban during the current session which ends June 2. ""Kids are getting poisoned today,"" Patrick told the Senate earlier this year. Earlier this week, the Texas Senate passed Senate Bill 1870 that would ban any local entity from putting a drug decriminalization ordinance on the ballot for approval. The House will take up the bill next. ___ This story was originally published by The Texas Tribune and distributed through a partnership with The Associated Press.",36.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,46350_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,A U.P.S. customer asks for the Haggler’s help in getting a refund after a damaged shipment.,33.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,66166_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,A big hurricane in 1933 changed a lot of things around the Chesapeake Bay,26.0,,,,,,media-combined-all_media2_v2,,en ,43815_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,A black box is programmed to escape ownership via eBay. ,998.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,8082_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,A change to the tax credits proposed in the Senate version of the economic stimulus package would eliminate most or all of a proposed $1.6 billion windfall for Verizon.,34.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,37232_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,A collection of toy figurines that will interact with a video game is Nintendo’s entry into an already flourishing market.,34.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,49070_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,A constant problem for freelancers and small-business owners is deciding whether to turn down business from a demanding customer.,33.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,10763_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"A dean of N.F.L. writers put it this way: “What exactly are we watching here, other than the nuttiest story in recent sports history?”",38.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,36811_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"A driver who span out of control at a car meet and struck a pedestrian, leaving her with ""horrible injuries"" has been given suspended prison sentence.

For many of us who left Hong Kong following the imposition of the national security law, the threat from the ruling regime was not abstract - it was immediate, personal and existential. Our migration was not simply a search for better opportunities but a necessary departure from a city whose freedoms were being rapidly dismantled. The UK's cautious recalibration of its relationship with Beijing raises complex emotions. On one hand, I understand the economic pressures that compel governments to engage with China. On the other hand, I worry about the signals that renewed cooperation might send to Hongkongers resisting repression and to the authoritarian regime. When British ministers visit Beijing or soften their stance, it sometimes feels like the struggle and suffering of Hongkongers is being quietly sidelined for trade and investment. As part of a growing diaspora, we are rebuilding our lives here - finding community, raising children, contributing to society. But we remain deeply connected to Hong Kong. We are not passive observers. We organise, advocate and speak out, because what happens in UK-China relations affects how safe and heard we feel. The UK's commitment to human rights and democratic values cannot be selective. Hongkongers with BNO passports are a living reminder of what is at stake when authoritarianism goes unchecked. A pragmatic China policy should not ignore the lived experience of people like us. Economic strategy must be balanced with moral clarity or the very values that once drew us to Britain will be compromised. This is not just about geopolitics, it is about people's lives, voices and futures.

JB Pritzker that threatened a $1.2 billion plan to keep invasive carp from reaching the Great Lakes appears to have been settled after the Trump administration offered assurances it will cover its share of the costs. After a delay that has stretched on since February, Illinois officials are set to resume closing on property they need to continue work on a project that will generate vast bubble curtains to deter the carp, stun them with electrical fields and play sound frequencies to disorient them. Here's what to know: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers along with state officials in Illinois and Michigan have been planning since 2020 to install a gantlet of technologies in the Des Plaines River near Joliet, Illinois, to deter invasive carp from entering Lake Michigan. The Corps and the states signed a deal in 2024 to work together on the project using $226 million allocated through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. And elements of the Water Resources Development Act adopted last year call for the federal government to cover 90% of operating and maintenance costs. Construction on the project began in January. Pritzker's administration was set to close in February on a parcel of property for the project and transfer it to the Corps. Everything appeared on track until late January, when the Trump administration froze federal grants and loans as it reviewed whether spending aligned with Trump's priorities on issues such as climate change and diversity. The administration rescinded the freeze less than two days later but questions persist about the federal government's spending commitments. Pritzker, a billionaire heir to the Hyatt hotel empire and a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender, is one of Trump's fiercest critics. He has described the early months of the Trump administration as ""true villainous cruelty by a few idiots."" Days before Illinois was to finalize a property deal for the carp project, Pritzker hit pause and demanded assurances that the federal government would honor its spending commitment. Site preparation has continued since then, but substantial work to install technology has been on hold. The White House issued a memo late Friday saying the Trump administration recognized the threat invasive carp pose to Great Lakes recreation and fishing and that it's committed to protecting the lakes. The federal government is prepared to do its part so long as states cooperate, according to the memo, which calls on Illinois to complete the property deal by July 1 and promises the federal government will streamline permitting and environmental reviews. ""My Administration fully supports preventing the spread of invasive carp,"" the memo said. ""The State of Illinois, where the (project) is located, must cease further delay in cooperating with this effort, for the sake of its own citizens and economy and for the sake of all of the Great Lake States."" Pritzker's office issued a news release late Friday evening saying the governor was satisfied. Work on the project isn't slated to finish until 2032, but Joel Brammeier, president and CEO of the nonpartisan Alliance for the Great Lakes, said Monday that prospects suddenly look dramatically better than they did last week. ""We're back to business as usual. That's a good thing,"" he said. Four species of carp were imported to the U.S. from Asia in the 1960s and 1970s to clear algae from sewage ponds and fish farms in the Deep South. They escaped into the Mississippi River and have moved north into dozens of tributaries in the central U.S. Government agencies, advocacy groups and others have long debated how to prevent the fish from reaching the Great Lakes, where scientists say they could out-compete native species for food and habitat in waterways where the fishing industry is valued at $7 billion. A shipping canal that forms part of the link between the Mississippi and Lake Michigan has a network of fish-repelling barriers, which the Corps says is effective, but critics consider inadequate. The new project at the Brandon Road Lock and Dam on the Des Plaines River near Joliet will provide another layer of protection at a downstream choke point between the Illinois River, which is infested with invasive carp, and Lake Michigan. ""I'm hopeful everyone is taking this project seriously now and we're not going to see any more delays,"" Brammeier said.",36.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,56922_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,A statue of a giant male horse at Denver International Airport is freaking more than a few people out.,28.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,7062_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,A study called for better understanding of potential effects on the climate of red algae that grows on snow in warmer months.,34.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,NYT Archive,en ,3972_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"A summary of New York Fashion Week, told through the tweets of editors and bloggers.",29.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,55334_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,A tangy and pungent dish that feels more like a meal than a warm salad.,30.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,13176_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"A team found evidence similar to that of an earlier study, representing an advance for a mysterious condition.",32.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,22937_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"A team in desperate need of help along the offensive line decided to trade its best, and most important piece. A team that needs receiver depth has added one proven starter, but still needs another. A team that wasn't good enough in 2024 can't truly say they'll be better in 2025. In other words, Houston has its work cut out for them at the draft this year. C.J. Stroud had a fairly miserable sophomore season with a weakened supporting cast. However, there's a new offensive coordinator in the fold to avoid duplicating those struggles. Like many who have moved out of California to Texas, the Texans will hope that Nick Caley can bring a piece of the Los Angeles with him and that it comes in the form of the Rams' offensive philosophy. That's a story for the fall though. For now, it's about improving the team on paper in the hopes that it takes root on the field. That all starts with these three days in late April. Here's what to know about the Texans' picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. Texans 2025 NFL draft picks The Texans come into draft night with seven picks to work with. They are set to make an additional pick in the third and seventh rounds thanks to the Laremy Tunsil trade that sent the left tackle to Washington. Houston's offense is in desperate need of help this offseason. They can't afford for Stroud to take as many hits next season, or face a similar amount of pressure. This is priority No. 1 in Houston. Without an offensive line to protect Stroud, nothing else matters. Wide receiver The Texans added Christian Kirk, yet they still have some work to do with Tank Dell likely lost for the season. Nico Collins is a solid player, but last year proved he can't do it alone. The modern NFL requires multiple pass-catchers and we aren't talking about just two. Tight end Tyler Higbee thrived in the postseason for the Rams and now Caley might want to dive into a solid tight end class in this draft. Dalton Schultz is a fine player, but Houston notably lacks depth in a lot of areas. This is a spot than can, and should, be improved before the draft is over.

The date was decided during a closed-door meeting of cardinals at the Vatican, the first since the funeral of Pope Francis on Saturday, a source said, speaking at the end of the gathering. An official announcement followed. About 135 cardinals, all under the age of 80 and from across the world, are eligible to take part in the conclave and decide who should be the next leader of the 1.4-billion-member church. The 16th-century Sistine Chapel, where conclaves are held, was closed to tourists on Monday to allow for preparations for the vote. The two most recent conclaves, in 2005 and 2013, lasted two days. But the Swedish cardinal Anders Arborelius said on Monday he expected this conclave might take longer, as many of the cardinals appointed by Francis had never met one another before. Francis had made a priority of appointing cardinals from places that had never had them, such as Myanmar, Haiti, and Rwanda. ""We don't know each other,"" Arborelius said. The earliest the conclave could have begun was 6 May. Starting it a day later means the cardinals will have slightly more time for general discussions ahead of the momentous ballot. Francis, the pope since 2013, died aged 88 on 21 April. His funeral on Saturday and a procession through Rome to his burial place at the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore attracted crowds estimated at more than 400,000 people. The German cardinal Walter Kasper told La Repubblica newspaper that the outpouring of mourners indicated that Catholics wanted the next pope to continue with Francis's reforming style of papacy. Francis, the first pope from Latin America, largely tried to open up the often staid church to new conversations. He allowed debate on issues such as ordaining women as clergy and outreach to LGBTQ Catholics. ""The People of God voted with their feet,"" said Kasper, who is 92 and will not take part in the conclave. ""I am convinced that we must go ahead in the footsteps of Francis."" However, a bloc of conservative cardinals are expected to push back against this and seek a pope who reasserts traditions and restricts Francis's vision of a more inclusive church.",35.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,62258_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Addressing a threat that has grown increasingly tense throughout the Midwest as genetic material from the fish was found in Lake Michigan.,34.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,28487_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Africa’s dominant soccer power rules the African Cup but can’t seem to breakout of a World Cup slump.,38.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,NYT Archive,en ,50497_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"After my husband suffered a traumatic brain injury while deployed in Afghanistan, our family was never the same.",29.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,26645_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"After the Fire, a Chinatown Museum Sifts Through What Survived",26.0,,,,,,media-combined-all_media2_v2,,en ,52458_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"After the death of a second Black man, readers call for federal action and suggest ending most traffic stops.",40.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,NYT Archive,en ,21272_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"After weathering the dot-com bubble and an attempt to sell the company, TheStreet.com’s slow success has recently jump-started efforts to expand its content and ambitions.",28.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,31432_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"After years of debate, federal regulators have decided to revise a key disclosure form required by lenders.",33.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,24985_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Aimee Elizabeth Bartol, a daughter of Christine Bartol and Ernest T.

It was commissioned last year after overcrowding led to the early release of thousands of prisoners. Gauke is understood to be considering recommending the idea of scrapping short prison terms as part of the sentencing review, and is likely to recommend more community-based sentencing to reduce the reliance on imprisonment. The review comes as prisons across the country are struggling to deal with overcrowding after the number of offenders behind bars hit a new high. In an interim report, Gauke warned that unless radical changes were made, prisons in England and Wales could run out of cells by early next year. Ms Mahmood warned that he would ""have to recommend bold, and sometimes difficult, measures"". In her article, she pointed to examples such as the system in Texas, where she said ""offenders who comply with prison rules earn an earlier release, while those who don't are locked up for longer"". On Wednesday, she announced more than a thousand inmates will be released early to free up spaces in prisons in England and Wales, and that a £4.7bn investment will be used to fund more prisons.

As Inter travel to Barcelona for Wednesday's semi-final first leg, the mind turns inevitably to their 1-0 reverse at the Camp Nou 15 years ago - ""the most beautiful defeat of my career"" as José Mourinho has described it. Playing with 10 men for a little over an hour, Inter secured a 3-2 aggregate victory. Suddenly it became apparent that it didn't matter whether you had the ball or not: you could win even with 19% possession. But the outcome was only part of it. The whole tie was played out amid an apocalyptic atmosphere symbolised by the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull, whose eruption made it impossible to fly over western Europe, forcing Barcelona to travel to Milan for the first leg by bus. For some it was good against evil; for others an upstart rebel daring to challenge the empire of aesthetic order. It felt fundamental. At the time, Barcelona, with Lionel Messi in his early pomp, seemed invincible. Pep Guardiola had won the treble in his first season and, more than that, had revolutionised how football was played. The game suddenly became an enormous rondo, supreme technique allying with developments in playing surfaces so first touches could be taken for granted and superiority was achieved by the manipulation of space on the pitch. It was Total Football reimagined for the modern age, and its devotees took its principles with a zeal that at times tipped into sanctimony. For Mourinho, being overlooked for the Barcelona job confirmed in his mind that in his time as a coach at Barcelona under Bobby Robson and Louis van Gaal he had never truly been accepted. They had called him the Translator, not only because that was what he had initially been, but to highlight that he had never been a player, that he was not of the club, that he was an outsider. He was not, as Guardiola was, one of their own. There had always been a cynical streak to Mourinho's football but at Porto and Chelsea his grounding at Barcelona had been apparent. His side had pressed and been capable of dominating games by controlling possession. But at Inter he began the move to becoming the anti-Barcelona: if they want the ball, we will play without it; if they want to press high, we will sit low. There were still moments of counterintuitive attacking, but the shift to the ""he who has the ball has fear"" phase of his career was under way. Barcelona would end that season in La Liga with 99 points; they lost only four games in all competitions. They seemed almost invincible, dominant and revolutionary, likely to become the first club in the Champions League era to successfully defend the European title. Whatever impact that 14-hour bus journey had on Barça, Inter played brilliantly in the first leg. Pedro put Barça ahead but Wesley Sneijder levelled before half-time. Mourinho told his players that if they kept playing as they had they would win 4-1. He was one off, as Maicon and Diego Milito hit second-half goals. Milito had been just offside and Barça probably should have had a penalty, which allowed them to claim they had been unfortunate, but Inter had won comfortably. That weekend, having been left on the bench for a game at Villarreal, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a big-money signing from Inter the previous summer, raged at Guardiola in the dressing room, kicking over a metal skip that was used to transport kit. Guardiola simply picked it up and walked out. For Ibrahimovic, this was proof of Guardiola's beta status: he was a ""frightened little overthinker"" with his team of ""obedient little schoolboys"", far removed from the charismatic leadership of Mourinho. This was football as soap opera and psychodrama, subplots everywhere. Mourinho named the same starting XI as in the first leg but, shortly before kick-off, it emerged that Goran Pandev had been injured in the warm-up and he was replaced on the left of midfield by the Romanian full-back Cristian Chivu. It was probably happenstance rather than being part of the some great Mourinho plot, but it fitted the narrative of him as some great Machiavellian puppet master. Inter were absorbing the pressure well when, with 28 minutes gone, Thiago Motta was shown a straight red after a slight flex of the fingers in the face of Sergio Busquets. The Barça man clearly overreacted, at one point peeking between his fingers to see what action the referee was taking. But Motta, who had already been booked, did (lightly) push him in the face; a second yellow would have been entirely reasonable. No matter: pro-Mourinho forces and those weary of Barça's occasional self-righteousness cried scandal, an early example of football's descent into a post-truth world. Inter held on until Gerard Piqué, having been thrust up front, eventually got one back with six minutes remaining. Bojan Krkic then had the ball in the net for what would have been an away-goals winner, but the goal was ruled out for a handball by Yaya Touré, a decision that could have gone either way and was debated just as furiously as the red card. As Mourinho charged on to the pitch in celebration, Barcelona turned on the sprinklers. That, perhaps, was his greatest triumph: to reduce the club that had spurned him to an act of pettiness. Their halo had slipped and it was he who had dislodged it. Mourinho, having shown he could tame Barça, got the Real Madrid job as a result, leading to perhaps the most all-consuming drama football has ever known as Guardiola reached his apogee, winning a third straight title and another Champions League, then resigned, exhausted, after Mourinho's Madrid had claimed the league the following season. Madrid, once a club obsessed by señorío, doing things the right way, became seduced by the consolations of imagined persecution, a trait they have still not shaken off. That 2010 semi-final was a thrilling, operatic tie that had profound consequences. Teams learned to ignore the siren call of Barcelona's possession, to stay in shape and play without the ball, as Chelsea did in beating them in their 2012 semi-final. And clubs and fans realised that you could choose your own truth, live in your own world of alternative facts. Football has never been quite the same.",38.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,52646_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"As Mark Carney settles into the role of Canada's prime minister, he will not only have to take on US President Donald Trump, but also wider divisions within his own country. Among those is a generational divide, with young voters who are concerned about housing unaffordability, crime and the cost of living coalescing around the Conservatives. It's a reversal from 2015, when youth voted in record numbers, helping sweep Carney's predecessor Justin Trudeau to power. But this election, ""baby boomers"" - those over the age of 60 - ""were an essential component to the Liberal success"", pollster David Coletto of Abacus Data told the BBC. Meanwhile, younger Canadians, particularly young men, rallied behind the Conservatives. One of them is Connor from Toronto. The 28-year-old told the BBC that he was drawn to the party because of its focus on housing and the cost of living. ""We're getting stuck in a system right now that doesn't seem to be working,"" he said. ""It worked for our parents, but not for us."" He added that he has grown ""tired of the same Liberal policies for the last 10 years"". Ahead of the election, support for the Conservatives outpaced the Liberals by 44% to 31.2% among 18 to 34 year olds, a Nanos poll on 25 April indicated. The issues that resonated with Canadians depended on age, too. Carney campaigned heavily on standing up to Trump, while affordability and a broken ""Canadian promise"" were central to Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's message. Abacus Data polling indicated about 18% of 18 to 29 year olds were worried about Trump. That jumped to 45% for voters over 60, suggesting a diversion on key issues between generations. A big challenge for Carney and the Liberals will be how they can win back the confidence of those younger voters, Mr Coletto said, who ""feel really let down and frustrated"". In Monday's election, the Liberals managed to gain more than a dozen seats in a historic comeback election. But the rival Conservatives also made significant gains - enough to block the Liberals from forming a decisive majority government. The Liberals won 169 seats, three shy of a majority, and captured 43% of the popular vote. The Conservatives won 144 seats - 25 more than the previous 2021 election - and 41% of the popular vote. Smaller parties, namely the left-leaning New Democratic Party (NDP), suffered significant losses as voters migrated to the two larger parties.",24.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,40009_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"As a psychologist, I worry that location tracking can confuse the question of who is mainly responsible for the safety of the roaming adolescent — the parent or the teenager?",32.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,NYT Archive,en ,40282_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"As a scholar, teacher and historian at the City University of New York, she was an ardent preservationist and an inclusive ethnographer.",37.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,2207_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"As happens with many Spanish celebrations, Gay Pride “Day” has rather miraculously been stretched out into nearly two weeks of parties, performances, parades, rallies, exhibitions, conferences, and lots and lots of late-night festivities.",31.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,NYT Archive,en ,47977_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"As markets remain volatile and non-profits face drastic drops in government and private support, this is no time for philanthropy to think about cutting back. Instead, foundations and individuals must give more. There is a real risk that philanthropists will be tempted to continue to cut back on their investments and grant making. For the past year, we've seen how geopolitics and polarization in our body politic has made some take their foot off the gas. I'm not the first to notice this cycle. It's just my turn to urge you against any and all forms of retrenchment. You may feel a sense of déjà vu: You've lived through this before, but your response must be different this time around. I serve as the CEO of First Place for Youth, a national nonprofit organization that delivers a comprehensive solution to the challenges facing transition-age foster youth in extended foster care (18-21 years old). For over 26 years, we've provide our youth participants who recently aged out of foster care with furnished apartments alongside intensive case management delivered by a dedicated team that wraps services around foster youth to ensure they focused on their education, get on a career path, and learn how to tap into their own resilience to manage the stressors of life. Extended foster care has transformed hundreds of thousands of young lives, providing crucial support during the transition to adulthood for our most vulnerable youth. It's one of the last upstream levers we can pull to decrease homelessness and poverty. Research consistently demonstrates that each additional year in extended care significantly improves educational attainment, employment prospects, housing stability, and overall well-being for former foster youth. Yet today, these life-changing programs face unprecedented threats from federal funding cuts that could erase years of progress. This is not merely a temporary challenge but potentially an 8 to12-year cycle that requires a fundamental rethinking of philanthropic responsibility. As we witness a paradigm shift from government funding to private sector solutions, this is precisely the moment that calls for bold philanthropic leadership to protect these essential investments in our youth and communities. The data supporting extended foster care is overwhelming and compelling. Studies have consistently demonstrated that providing support to foster youth beyond age 18 yields substantial returns both for individuals and society at large. Research from the California Youth Transitions to Adulthood Study (CaIYOUTH) found that extended foster care significantly increases educational attainment. With each additional year in care, youth experience a remarkable 46% increase in the odds of progressing to the next level of education. In practical terms, this means the predicted probability of attending some college doubles from 26% to 52% when comparing youth who exit care at 18 to those who remain until 211. Meanwhile, the probability of not finishing high school decreases dramatically from 22% to just 8%. The benefits extend far beyond education. Analysis showed that young people who remain in extended foster care are more likely to be employed, receive educational aid, and achieve housing stability. The most recent CalYOUTH study found that each additional year in extended care increases the probability of completing a high school credential by approximately 8%, increases bank account savings by $642, and decreases the odds of arrest by 28%. Research by Dr. Mark Courtney and colleagues demonstrates that extended care positively influences ""education, employment, savings, food insecurity, criminal justice system involvement, and social support."" These benefits continue to accrue even after youth exit the system. As the largest study of its kind concluded: ""There's no evidence of harm associated with time in extended foster care."" Despite these proven benefits, extended foster care programs now face existential threats from federal funding cuts. We are witnessing a fundamental paradigm shift in how social programs are financed in America. For the last 15-20 years, the government has largely been pumping cash into the economy to keep it afloat. The current push for the private sector to assume more responsibility signals a kind of austerity plan that could dramatically reduce support for our most vulnerable populations and slow our momentum. Despite foundation endowments reaching all-time highs, most grant makers have actually lowered their rate of spending in recent years, falling to 5.2 percent in 2021 from 5.6 percent in 2016, despite their growing wealth. The question was recently posed by Alex Daniels, ""In a time of non-profit defunding, will foundations put more money on the line?"" The Trump administration has threatened to halt virtually all federal spending on social services, Among the programs explicitly threatened by halts in federal spending are those funded under Title IV-E of the Social Security Act, which provides essential support for foster care, adoption assistance, and programs designed to prepare young adults aging out of the system. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has proposed eliminating more than $500 billion in programs, with cuts disproportionately affecting children's programs. First Focus on Children estimates that cutting these programs would cost children a staggering $101.12 billion in critical investments, with children bearing 19.6% of total funding cuts despite children's programs accounting for only 8.87% of federal spending. The impact on extended foster care could be devastating. Without these supports, we risk returning to the pre-2008 era when most foster youth were left to fend for themselves after turning 18, resulting in alarming rates of homelessness, unemployment, incarceration, and poverty. This is not a time for backwards steps. This shift may not just be a small, four-year moment -- this might be an 8 to 12-year cycle that we're entering. This extended timeframe makes philanthropic intervention even more critical. Private foundations and individual donors must recognize that we are at the beginning of a fundamental realignment in how we support vulnerable populations in America. Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) and foundation endowments have grown substantially over the past decade, creating a significant reservoir of philanthropic capital. Now is the time to deploy these resources to prevent the collapse of programs that have demonstrated remarkable success in transforming young lives. We have already seen examples of how strategic philanthropic intervention can protect vulnerable youth. The Amico family used their Fidelity Charitable donor-advised fund to launch TeenEmbrace, a program supporting foster families of older youth that achieved a 94% placement stability rate in its first year. This model demonstrates how targeted philanthropy can maintain and even expand critical services when public funding is threatened. For philanthropists who have been waiting for a high-impact opportunity that addresses multiple social challenges simultaneously, extended foster care represents an ideal investment. These programs operate upstream, preventing costlier interventions later by supporting young people during a critical developmental period. When we keep a young person in extended care, we're not just providing housing and services -- we're preventing homelessness, reducing criminal justice involvement, increasing educational attainment, and building pathways to economic self-sufficiency. For years, philanthropists have accumulated resources in donor-advised funds and endowments, building reserves for times of urgent need. That time has arrived. If there was ever a moment to deploy these philanthropic resources boldly and strategically, it is now. What is the purpose of a rainy-day fund if not for times like these? People have been storing up wealth, perhaps primarily for themselves rather than for giving to others. But today is the rainy day we've been anticipating. The purpose of storing up is to give MORE in times of need, not less. Unfortunately, First Place for Youth has already seen foundations start to tighten up, uncertain about their future giving levels. One foundation claims that ""private foundations are not going to be able to close this gap if the government decides not to give as much."" This reluctance is precisely what we must fight against. Foundations are already looking for reasons not to step up at the very moment when their leadership is most needed. We call on philanthropic leaders to: Research from the University of Chicago has demonstrated that California has become ""the most generous state in terms of the constellation of things that it provides for young people"" in extended foster care, with continuous legislative improvements each session. This didn't happen by accident -- it resulted from years of advocacy, research, and public-private partnership. We cannot allow this progress to be reversed. The stakes could not be higher. As of May 2023, only 33 states and 7 tribes have tapped into federal funding to support foster youth after 18. As many as 75% of foster youth nationwide would benefit from extended foster care services. Many of their transitions to adulthood are premature which leads to poor outcomes and more critical funding. Without extended foster care, youth who have already experienced significant trauma face even greater challenges. The difference between a young person who exits care at 18 and one who receives support until 21 is profound -- it can mean the difference between homelessness and stable housing, between unemployment and career pathways, between continuing cycles of poverty and building intergenerational wealth. This is not a moment for the weak at heart. While everyone is jostling and figuring out how to preserve their pennies, young people require crucial support. We need people to come off the sidelines, so to speak, and into the game -- to get involved more than they ever have before. We want those with the means to store up rainy day funds to consider giving to others. The purpose of accumulating wealth should be to have the capacity to give more when times are tough, not to retreat from responsibility. We appreciate our philanthropic partners who've stepped up to stand with us right now, who've let us know we're not alone fighting to make a difference. They have continued to support organizations that bolster our communities, remaining steadfast in their missions to drive social equity and sustainable impact through leadership in both business and philanthropy. This is the rainy day we've been waiting for. It's time to open the philanthropic umbrellas like several of our philanthropic partners have already done. If we truly believe in the power of extended foster care to transform lives -- and the evidence clearly shows it does -- then we must act now to preserve these critical supports for our most vulnerable youth. The question for philanthropy is simple: If not now, when? If not for these young people, who have already overcome tremendous obstacles, then for whom have we been saving?",36.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,36993_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"As my grandma’s mind deteriorated, I felt myself holding on to her by becoming the woman we both wanted to be.",32.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,NYT Archive,en ,56895_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"As the final week of the federal election campaign begins, the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has announced a re-elected Labor government would launch a free nation-wide health and after-hours GP telehealth service.

Justice Department attorney Mary Larakers made the argument in a court document filed Wednesday, suggesting that U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy's order wasn't violated because the Defense Department isn't a defendant in the lawsuit. Murphy's order, first issued March 28, blocked the Trump administration from deporting people who have exhausted legal appeals to countries other than their country of origin unless they are told of their destination and given a chance to object if they fear they will face torture or death there. Some countries do not accept deportations from the United States, which has led the Trump administration to strike agreements with other countries like Panama to house them. Some Venezuelans subject to Trump's Alien Enemies Act have been sent to El Salvador and housed in its notorious main prison. In the court filing, Larakers said four people were deported to El Salvador on March 31 -- three days after Murphy issued the restraining order -- but said that was done by the Defense Department, and DHS officials were not on the flight and did not direct the removals. Two people were removed to Mexico, Larakers wrote, but one of them was sent three days before the restraining order was issued and the other one was sent the morning of March 28, several hours before the order came out. The man deported on March 28 was first asked by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers ""if he was afraid of being returned to Mexico. At this time, he stated he was not afraid of returning to Mexico,"" Larakers wrote. Laraker also provided a sworn statement from DHS official Tracy Huettl, who said each of the deportees had been convicted of crimes in the U.S. and were ordered removed by an immigration judge. The men who were deported after the court order were all in ICE custody before they were transferred to a detention center at Guantanamo Bay, where they were held until Defense Department officials had them flown to El Salvador, Huettl wrote.",36.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,13287_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Aug holiday begins DISTILLERS EASE WHISKY DROUGHT,26.0,,,,,,media-combined-all_media2_v2,,en ,25040_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Australia is air-dropping vegetables from helicopters to feed animals stranded by wildfires,26.0,,,,,,media-combined-all_media2_v2,,en ,25554_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Australia news live: latest politics and federal election updates After his thumping election victory, Anthony Albanese has the chance to lead one of Australia's consequential and long-term governments.

Today the CCRC has said that while alternative techniques were available at the time, and could have been attempted, it is impossible to say whether they would have produced any result. But back in 2010 the CCRC was worrying that it may not be doing enough with the science. It had been put on notice that it had missed an opportunity in the case of Victor Nealon, a man wrongly convicted of rape in very similar, and earlier, circumstances to Andy Malkinson. Mr Nealon, like Mr Malkinson, was cleared thanks to DNA work by his lawyers, not the CCRC. And so it launched a review of serious cases it had turned down. We don't know if that review looked at Mr Sullivan's file which had been recently closed. In 2019, now 32 years into his sentence - twice the minimum term the trial judge ordered him to serve behind bars - Peter Sullivan tried to go back to the Court of Appeal. He asked if it would look at whether disputed bite-mark evidence, part of the case against him, was reliable. He also wanted it to consider an expert report that his low intelligence and suggestibility meant his ""confession"" in a police interview should not have featured in his trial. It took the Court of Appeal more than two years to reject the application, concluding that Mr Sullivan was out of time and his points could not undermine the totality of the prosecution's wide-ranging circumstantial case. Mr Sullivan and his solicitor, Sarah Myatt, went back to the CCRC asking for it to look again. The organisation knew by then of the gravity of the missed DNA opportunity in the Andy Malkinson case - and scientists were asked to study biological samples taken from Miss Sindall's body. They used a form of DNA testing called PPY23 which was invented in 2012 and which fully entered widespread use by 2015. That test found a male DNA profile from semen cells that comprehensibly ruled out Mr Sullivan and anyone else known to the police. In other words, the test that cleared Mr Sullivan of murder was not available in 2008 - but it was still available a decade ago. The fact that it had not been used before his 2021 application for help is, say critics, an example that the system needs totally overhauling. ""Peter Sullivan's exoneration provides further evidence that our current appeals system cannot be trusted to swiftly identify and rectify miscarriages of justice,"" said James Burley from the legal charity Appeal. He led the investigation in the Andy Malkinson case - and found the long-ignored DNA evidence that cleared his name. ""Between them, Peter Sullivan, Andrew Malkinson and Victor Nealon spent over 70 years wrongly imprisoned before finally being exonerated by compelling DNA evidence. ""Each had their cases previously rejected by both the Court of Appeal and the CCRC - the institutions which are meant to act as our justice system's safety net. The case for an urgent overhaul of the appeals system is now overwhelming."" A CCRC spokesperson said: ""We do regret that we were not able to identify Mr Sullivan's conviction as a potential miscarriage of justice in our first review. ""As an organisation we are committed to taking forward learning from previous reviews and we continue to develop our understanding around forensic opportunities.""",27.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,newsapi.ai,en ,68632_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Bacteria move in mysterious ways.

Friday's meeting of the politburo was convened to discuss China's economic situation, which since the pandemic has faced difficulties fuelled by a housing sector crisis, youth unemployment, and Donald Trump's tariffs on all Chinese exports. A readout of the meeting published by the official state media outlet, Xinhua, said China's economy had showed a ""positive trend"" with increasing social confidence in 2025, but ""the impact of external shocks has increased"". ""We must strengthen bottom-line thinking, fully prepare emergency plans, and do a solid job in economic work,"" it said. In a reference to Trump's global tariffs, the readout said Beijing would ""work with the international community to actively uphold multilateralism and oppose unilateral bullying practices"". The readout proposed a series of interventions to bolster the domestic economy and protect people and businesses from the impact of Trump's tariffs, including increasing unemployment insurance payouts. It promised to increase low and middle incomes, develop the service industry and boost consumption. ""We should take multiple measures to help enterprises in difficulties,"" it said. ""We should strengthen financing support. We should accelerate the integration of domestic and foreign trade."" It stressed the need for more proactive macroeconomic policies, faster development of a new real estate model and increased housing stock, and ""stepping up"" city renewal programmes and urban renovation. The meeting was held amid reports that Chinese authorities are considering a list of US products to exempt from the 125% tariffs currently imposed on all US imports. Earlier reports from Bloomberg and Reuters said medical equipment, semiconductors and some industrial chemicals such as ethane were being considered. On Thursday a Shenzhen-based supplier posted online that it had been notified by the customs agency that eight semiconductor products would no longer attract the 125% duty. On Friday the head of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, Michael Hart, said the Chinese authorities had been asking members what products they imported from the US that they could not find anywhere else. He welcomed the early signs that both sides were reviewing tariffs and starting to produce lists of excluded items. Stock markets across the Asia-Pacific region rose after the reports. The trade war has hit the US and Chinese economies, and the tariff exemptions are a likely sign of the parties trying to ease their ways out. The US had already exempted some categories of Chinese-made products from tariffs, including smartphones and laptops. This week Trump said his tariffs on China would ""come down substantially, but it won't be zero"". But in public the two governments have given different accounts on the status of negotiations on ending the trade war. On Friday afternoon China's foreign ministry reiterated its claim that the US and China are not engaged in any negotiations on tariffs, contradicting Trump's claims on Thursday. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said the two sides were talking. ""We may reveal it later, but they had meetings this morning, and we've been meeting with China,"" the US president said, declining to say who ""they"" were. The remarks appeared to be in response to the Chinese commerce ministry's spokesperson, He Yadong, who earlier said there were ""currently no economic and trade negotiations between China and the United States"".",24.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,30088_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Being immersed in fake worlds, it seems, is more fatigue than fun.

He can clamp migrants in foreign gulags, coerce white-shoe law firms into becoming his pro bono serfs and try to simply erase the National Endowment for the Humanities, but he can't rescind his harm to the economy. Trump can slash the National Weather Service, but he can't stop the storm he's whipped up. He's shouting into the wind at his twister. No matter how much he might lower his draconian tariffs after his 90-day breathing spell, the velocity of damage is just building. It's not a mistake that can be rectified. There's no do-over. It's not a golf game at one of his clubs where he gets endless mulligans and is declared the champion. Nor does Trump really want to draw back completely from his tariffs as if he never had proudly displayed his ""Liberation Day"" idiot board. When the Walmart CEO inevitably announced that prices would have to be raised as a result of Trump's tariffs, Trump warned: ""Between Walmart and China they should, as is said 'EAT THE TARIFFS,' and not charge valued customers ANYTHING. I'll be watching, and so will your customers!"" Trump has falsely insisted that tariffs are levied on foreign importers. But Walmart demonstrated the indisputable fact that tariffs are price increases passed on to consumers. They are a tax. Trump is furious at the early indication of the renewed inflation and price rises that are coming. His natural response, of course, is an attempt at intimidation. The tariffs are a shakedown by which Trump could exercise his control over corporations that must scrape and bow before him, asking for targeted relief in exchange for, perhaps, payments to his personal political action committee, or, perhaps, throwing money into the kitty of his various financial endeavors, his crypto firm and meme-coin scheme. According to his wishful thinking, businesses should ""eat the tariffs"" to cover up his falsehood and maintain his popularity. For his sake, shut up and ""eat"" it. Trump is at war with the corporations' bottom line. He can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but he can't fool the bond market any of the time. When Moody's Ratings downgraded the US credit rating, the Trump White House put out a statement attacking Moody's ""credibility"" while blaming ""Biden's mess"". Moody's reasons were an oblique criticism of Trump's pending ""big, beautiful bill"" for massive regressive tax cuts in addition to his tariffs, which have led to the suspension of any further cuts in interest rates from the Federal Reserve. Blaming Biden, in any case, hasn't been cutting it with public opinion. Only 21% of Americans attributed the state of the economy to Biden's policies in a poll in early April conducted by CBS News/YouGov. In Trump's first hundred days alone, he denigrated Biden at least 580 times, according to NBC News. Trump sought to make him the scapegoat for his own policies. But the public is certain that Trump and nobody else owns the economy as he desperately tries to restore it to where Biden bequeathed it to him, with inflation and interest rates falling. And, now, very ill, Biden can no longer serve as a convenient target. Even if, after Trump's 90-day pause on tariffs, he cuts them in half, the result will be devastating to small businesses, family farms and many large corporations. Nearly 90% of American small businesses rely on imported goods. More than 20% of the US agricultural sector depends upon exporting its products, according to the US Department of Agriculture. US manufacturers rely on imports for more than 20% of machinery, products and components. More than 41m American jobs are linked to imports and exports, one in five, according to the Business Roundtable. That does not include the multiplier effect of millions, if not tens of millions, of additional jobs created as a result. The supply chain has been severely distorted. For 12 hours on 9 May, zero cargo ships - none - not one - departed from China to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the two major US ports for Asian imported goods. The more than $906bn trucking industry, which had finally regained stability after the Covid disruption, faces another shock. ""Trump trade war is wrecking hope for 2025 US trucking rebound,"" reads the headline on a Reuters story. The uncertainty factor that Trump has introduced has frozen all planning. The auto companies, among others, have given up issuing any guidance to investors. Their earnings are plunging, their suppliers in chaos. Nobody can predictably produce, order or hire, and so businesses are in a state of suspension. The prospect of a slowdown has already depressed oil prices to the point where it will soon not be profitable to drill at all. In April, Trump called critics of his tariffs ""scoundrels and frauds"", but retailers do not know how to price goods, how much to raise them to sustain often razor-thin profit margins. They face a Hobson's choice of pricing themselves out of their markets or absorbing the costs and going bust. The head of Trump's council of economic advisers, Kevin Hassett, cheerfully announced on 12 April that he expected the gross national product to grow by 2% to 2.5% in the first quarter of this year. On 30 April, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that GDP had fallen by 0.3% in the quarter. Even after Trump agreed to drop his 145% tariff on China to 30%, Paul Krugman points out that ""we're still looking at a shock to the economy seven or eight times as big as Smoot-Hawley, the previous poster child for destructive tariff policy"". Krugman states that on the optimistic lower end, ""we'd expect Trump's tariffs after last weekend's retreat on China to cut overall US trade by roughly 50%. Trade with China, which would have been virtually eliminated with a 145% tariff rate, would fall by 'only' around 65% with a 30% tariff."" The result will be devastating, with rising inflation, higher unemployment, shortages, and lower growth and investment. In short, the economy will plunge into stagflation for the first time since the 1970s. Then, the phenomenon was the outcome of the Opec oil shock. This is the Trump shock, not the consequence of an external factor, but entirely self-induced through a delusion. Does he care? ""Well,"" Trump said, ""maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls. So maybe the two dolls will cost a couple bucks more than they would normally."" All of what's coming was foreseeable. This is not a case in which unintended consequences suddenly emerged without advance warning, like in the 1970s. Here the red lights flashed; Trump raced through them. The uncertainty he's injected is not a byproduct of happenstance. Uncertainty is the aspiring dictator's pre-eminent prerogative. Trump resents any limitation on his ability to act however he wishes. The ultimate privilege of a dictator is to be at liberty to be impulsive. The more unpredictable he is, the more he is regarded as omnipotent. Trump has no real policies. There is no actual analysis, no expertise, no peer review. He brandishes atavistic symbols as primitive representations of his unrestrained power. Lowering or raising the tariffs are functionally equivalent if they are perceived as enhancing the perception of his potency. The merits are of no interest. Policies, such as they are, are measured by how well they gild his lily. The more unpredictable he is, the more he thinks of himself and thinks others think of him as almighty. For Trump, experience is meaningless. He never learns. Even his existential moments are forgotten, like his near-death from Covid. He deduces no lessons. It doesn't inform his health policies, for example, which he's turned over to oddballs and snake-oil salesmen led by the chief crank with roadkill in his freezer and a worm in his brain, Robert F Kennedy Jr. Trump's learning curve is a hamster's wheel. He goes 'round and 'round, repeating belligerent ignorance unaltered over decades. He's the hamster who thinks he's making progress if he receives attention. His solipsism is epistemological. Jared Kushner grasped its essence when he surfed on Amazon to find the one discredited economist, Peter Navarro, to provide sham formulas to justify Trump's preconceived tariff obsession. Trump's psychological equilibrium requires the constant rejection of his responsibility for the abrasive reality he churns up. Confronting reality exacts fortitude, both politically and intellectually. He considers that a mug's game he must resist. His inner fragility is shielded by projecting images of muscular strength, now AI generated videos and pictures of himself produced by the White House communications team as a Jedi, a guitar hero (after Bruce Springsteen called him ""treasonous"") and the Pope (the new Pope Leo IX does not much care for the social Darwinism of JD Vance). Meanwhile, there must be a conspiracy theory to deliver up a scapegoat. That opens the door of the Oval Office for malicious fabulists to whom Trump is particularly susceptible and finds useful as his instruments to terrorize even his own staff. Enter loony Laura Loomer as his virtual national security personnel director with a portfolio in hand identifying six officials on the national security council to be purged, soon to be followed by the defenestration of the national security adviser Michael Waltz, who, rather than the thoroughly incompetent secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, served as the scapegoat for the Signal chat group that invited in Jeffrey Goldberg, editor of the Atlantic. A 9/11 truther, Loomer claimed the terrorist attack was ""an inside job."" During the 2024 campaign, Trump brought her to the 9/11 memorial service. Loomer said that if Kamala Harris won the White House it ""will smell of curry"". Marjorie Taylor Greene, the far-right member of the House from Georgia, assailed Loomer as an ""appalling and extremist racist"". ""You don't want to be Loomered,"" Trump said. ""If you're Loomered, you're in deep trouble. That's the end of your career in a sense. Thanks, Laura."" Trump famously can't accept the slightest criticism. He is armored against learning in any case. He is incapable of engaging in any self-examination for both emotional and cognitive reasons. It would be too upsetting even to contemplate. His whole being would become paralyzed if he were ever to suffer a bout of introspection. His system couldn't tolerate it. His brittle peace of mind requires his fabricated self-image to be constantly apple-polished and worshipped. The split between Trump's anxious need for his cosseted appearance and the terrible reality he's making is his ultimate credibility gap. He must sustain a completely self-contained inner world or the walls start to close in. Information must therefore be suppressed. When the intelligence community assesses that the Tren de Aragua gang is not being manipulated by the Maduro regime of Venezuela, which is the invented excuse for Trump's migrant round-up emergency, then fire the intelligence analysts or tell them to redo their report. When the Democrats in the House attempted to bring up a bill to remove Trump's claim of a national security emergency for his tariffs - another mythical emergency - Republicans moved to block it in the rules committee. No vote, no debate. It's a disappearing act. If the lying doesn't work, try intimidation. That is the rhyme or reason behind Trump's success in imposing his malignancy. But now he's created a reality he can't disguise or bully. The planets are hurdling into collision. He's done it to himself by himself. The passage of his ""Big Beautiful Bill"", with its extravagant tax cuts for the wealthy and deep cuts to Medicaid, wounding his white rural base, of which, depending on the county, are 25% to 40% dependent on the federal healthcare program, will spike the inflationary effect of his tariffs as well as the deficit. Republicans no longer uphold the pretense that their tax cut redistribution of wealth upward will actually lower the deficit by reducing revenue. Ronald Reagan's supply-side economics claims, originally dubbed voodoo economics by George HW Bush, in fact proved Bush prescient. Reagan's budget director, David Stockman, confessed that the supply side charade was a ""Trojan horse"" for lowing the upper rate and was just a ""horse-and-sparrow"" theory of ""trickle down."" Thus, Trump's potential legislative success will only deepen his crisis. Donald turns his lonely eyes to the Federal Reserve to bail him out, like his father, Fred Trump, who always arrived in the nick of time to rescue him from his messes. Trump lies in capital letters: ""THE CONSENSUS OF ALMOST EVERYBODY IS THAT, 'THE FED SHOULD CUT RATES SOONER, RATHER THAN LATER."" There is no such consensus. The consensus is to the contrary. Trump's begging shifts to threats. If Jerome Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, doesn't do what Trump says he will be turned into the scapegoat: ""Too Late Powell, a man legendary for being Too Late, will probably blow it again - But who knows???"" But Powell is imperturbable. ""Higher real rates may also reflect the possibility that inflation could be more volatile going forward than in the inter-crisis period of the 2010s,"" he said in his most measured tone on 15 May. ""We may be entering a period of more frequent, and potentially more persistent, supply shocks - a difficult challenge for the economy and for central banks."" It's not Powell who is ""too late."" It's Trump. As Evelyn Waugh wrote in his novel Decline and Fall: ""Too late, old boy, too late. The saddest words in the English language.""",24.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,26368_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Bis a peculiar place to find people in their 20s. This grand old church in west London smells of old things and incense. At the altar a priest clad in lace delivers mass in a droning tone. But in their Sunday best, the young are there, sitting in the stiff pews, kneeling on hassocks, their chinos scuffed by the cushions. In November and December last year YouGov, a pollster -- commissioned by Bible Society, a non-profit organisation that invites people ""to see the Bible through fresh eyes"" -- asked some 13,000 adults in England and Wales about their religious views and habits. The findings are striking: a 56% rise since 2018 in those claiming to attend church at least once a month. Young people, in particular young men, are leading the charge. In 2018 just 4% of 18- to 24-year-olds claimed they went to church regularly; by 2024 some 16% did so. But the newly pious aren't flocking to the Church of England. They're showing up at Catholic mass. So much so that, for the first time in five centuries, Catholic worshippers in England and Wales may soon outnumber Protestants. Among the young they already do. Six years ago a third of young churchgoers were in the Anglican pews. Now only a fifth are, and 41% are at Catholic mass (see chart). The pandemic may have been a godsend for the Catholic Church. Aidan Geboers, a 29-year-old banker living in Lewisham, in south London, says lockdown prompted his search for a community. He found it in Farm Street Church, a Jesuit temple in Mayfair. Farm Street's young-adult service regularly attracts around 180 people. ""Ten years ago numbers might have been half that,"" says Father Kensy Joseph, a leader in its young-adult ministry. To young people in Britain (and elsewhere), Catholicism seems to appeal for two, opposing, reasons. Partly the practice of contemplation and dedication to ritual appear to be a potent antidote to the online world. But the internet is also a major route to evangelism. Bishop Robert Barron, an American founder of a Catholic media organisation, and Father Mike Schmitz, a podcaster and campus minister, have amassed hundreds of thousands of followers on social media. Bishop Barron celebrates a new ""macho Christianity"", where men can be ""heroes"". Graham Greene, a novelist, described his Catholic faith in a way that may reflect its attraction to young churchgoers today. It was ""something fine and hard and certain, however uncomfortable, to catch hold of in the general flux"".■",35.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,34217_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Black Lives Matter banner set on fire outside Chevy Chase home,26.0,,,,,,media-combined-all_media2_v2,,en ,13270_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Blades, from Gainsborough, has admitted murdering Mr Connolly on the morning of 13 June 2024.

There's no point pretending I'm the target audience for ""comedimum"" Sophie McCartney's standup - although I went along (and cowered behind) a chaperone squarely in that bracket. McCartney has made a big splash, online and on stage, charting the millennial woman's journey from mindless nights on Mad Dog 2020 to motherhood and beyond. There may be something ruthless about her zeroing in on the generic at the expense of anything remotely particular. But there's a skill even to this brand of crowd-tickling observational comedy, and the Liverpudlian has it in spades. We're firmly in the familiar standup territory of (in McCartney's words) ""too old to be young, too young to be old"". It's all nostalgia for her generation's wild youth, and alarm at the inadequacy of their successors. (""We wouldn't have gone out in trainers in the noughties, would we?!"") McCartney presents herself as a superficial twentysomething trapped in a mum's body, dispensing reckless sex education to her 12-year-old son, and embarrassing herself on a middle-aged ""girls' trip"" to Magaluf. Little in that latter anecdote is convincing; rare is the ring of specific truth. I'm inclined to agree when at one point McCartney says, ""I feel like I should have something profound to say"" about her stage in life. But if profundity is in short supply, at least, in this celebration of received thinking about randy husbands and women regretting their wrinkles, she makes the familiar shine. One routine about squirting during orgasms (""like a highly pressurised Calpol syringe"" - nice) devolves into a gossip with audience members deftly orchestrated by our host for maximum mirth. Another witheringly dismantles the idea that a kick in the testicles is as painful as childbirth.

According to Donald Trump, the 90-day trade truce between America and China is a win for his administration and its tactics of kamikaze trade escalation. The view inside China is the exact opposite: America, faced with tanking markets and upset consumers, blinked. The truce is seen as a national triumph that has secured concessions, confirmed America's low pain tolerance, raised forecasts and made China a hero in the global south. The often-acid state media's magnanimity is revealing: ""the road ahead still requires both sides to explore and shape it together with wisdom and courage,"" intoned Xinhua. Others were more blunt. ""A great victory,"" crowed Hu Xijin, a nationalist commentator. Yet there are worries for China. One is that the deal is so good that Mr Trump might change his mind. The other is that the Communist Party might now backpedal on reforms. Many in China had feared a protracted near-embargo after Mr Trump's ""liberation day"" announcement on April 2nd. Six weeks later he has backed down. America will slash the ""reciprocal"" tariffs on Chinese goods from 125% to 10%, for at least 90 days. An earlier additional levy of 20% designed to punish China for its role in the fentanyl trade will remain in place, but its specificity suggests it could be negotiable. America halved a separate 120% tariff on e-commerce packages valued below $800 which enter America via a separate ""de-minimis"" customs regime. In return what did China offer? Not much. It will cut tariffs on American goods to 10%, implying parity with America's tariff rate if the fentanyl levy is cut. China lifted its ban on Boeing aircraft, which it needs. Constraints on rare-earth exports may be eased. The result is a partial restoration of trade and proof America cannot stomach a fight. The ""imperialists are all just paper tigers,"" wrote one netizen under a statement about the deal posted on the account of the American embassy on WeChat, a messaging platform. ""Americans just can't handle it when their supermarkets run out of goods,"" wrote another. Forecasts for China's growth have bounced back. Goldman Sachs, a bank, raised its estimate for this year from 4% to 4.6%. It expects total exports to remain stable rather than fall by 5% as it previously had. JP Morgan, another bank, also raised its estimate to 4.8%. China will get diplomatic kudos in the global south, too. ""Someone has to stand up and say that hegemony is unreasonable,"" Zheng Yongnian of the Chinese University of Hong Kong in Shenzhen told one outlet. ""China's approach has won the support of so many countries."" Xi Jinping, China's president, rubbed it in at a meeting with Latin American leaders on May 13th, arguing China must ""champion true multilateralism and uphold international fairness and justice."" The sight of America making threats it is not prepared to carry out may have broader implications, with China's leaders concluding that America's appetite to sanction China, let alone attack it militarily over Taiwan, is lower than previously thought. Shortly after the truce Mr Trump said ""it's going to be great for unification and for peace,"" leading the American government to later state that he had not been referring to the re-unification of mainland China and Taiwan. Perhaps coincidentally, on May 13th China pushed through new national-security laws tightening its grip on Hong Kong. The brief war between India and Pakistan has spurred nationalist jingoism further after a Chinese warplane used by Pakistan may have shot down Western-made Indian ones. Yet the tentative deal does come with two downsides for China. One is that the prospect of an economic crunch could have forced leaders to undertake deeper reforms to rebalance its economy towards domestic consumption. Now they have been let off the hook, at least a little. That may explain the muted reaction in the stockmarket in Hong Kong, which fell by 2% on May 13th. The other danger is that Mr Trump rethinks the deal. One sign of this is in the container shipping market: rather than pricing in a return to business as usual, shippers are rushing to move goods in the 90-day window, according to Bloomberg, presumably because they worry what might happen after it. In Mr Trump's new world it is easy to call America's bluff and hard to cut a deal that lasts.",24.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,newsapi.ai,en ,58193_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"But plenty of exporters still hope that the president will soon cave T on Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, the busiest port in the world by cargo throughput, you would not know there is a trade war going on. Security around Chinese ports is tight, but from a wooded hill overlooking one of its giant terminals, it feels as though it is just another normal working day. Lines of trucks steadily snake into the port, bringing in red, grey and green containers. Forklift operators scoot around, stacking them up in towers. Most of the dozens of towering gantry cranes in the terminal are in operation, loading the containers onto ships. A huge vessel, packed with cargo, sails out of the harbour into the Pacific ocean. Last year Ningbo-Zhoushan handled over 1bn tonnes of cargo, plenty of it bound for America. But the new tariffs have certainly not brought it to a standstill. That is partly because plenty of Chinese exports go elsewhere. America is the country China trades the most with, but it still only accounted for about 15% of its exports last year, down from over 20% at the start of President Donald Trump's first term. If the tariff war continues, though, few places will be more affected than Zhejiang province, where Ningbo is located. It is one of China's export powerhouses, with some 90,000 companies manufacturing for the overseas market. The trade war has reached an ugly stalemate. Both sides have suggested they are open to de-escalation, but the chances of a formal deal any time soon seem slim (see Finance & economics section). If the tariffs remain in place, the World Trade Organisation expects that Chinese exports to America, worth about $440bn last year, will fall by 77% in 2025. The shock is only just starting to ripple through China's supply chains. Lorry drivers catching a cigarette and a snack at a rest-stop near to the port reckon that the volume of containers they are moving from Zhejiang factories to the port and back has slipped by up to a third in recent weeks. One grumbles about that ""bully"" Mr Trump. , a big Chinese shipping company, says the volume of containers crossing the Pacific fell by 12-13% in the first three weeks of April compared with March, and that the decline will probably accelerate to 20% by the end of the month. Jack Shi, a factory owner in Ningbo who makes parts for vacuum cleaners, says the firms he supplies are already laying off workers because of the tariffs. He hopes to manage by shutting down some of his industrial robots. Shuangma, a Zhejiang plastics manufacturer, reported that cancelled orders have cost it 150m yuan ($20m) so far. Feilong, a white-goods-maker up the coast, told state media that American orders for 3,000 of its fridges and washing machines have been cancelled. Some 16m jobs in the export sector might be endangered if the trade war continues, says Goldman Sachs, a bank. China's government hopes exporters can survive by selling to other countries or tapping the domestic market. Teams from local governments have been sent out to advise companies. A meeting in April of the Politburo, China's top-decision-making body, called for help to ease exporters' efforts to raise funds. Tech companies are pitching in. .com, an e-commerce giant, has said it will buy 200bn yuan of export goods and resell them at home. But much of the rest of the world is already complaining about an excess of cheap Chinese goods, and the home market will also struggle to swallow much more. Consumer sentiment is weak, amid a property slump and high unemployment. Chinese customers also buy different products. Some 200km inland, in a maze-like building in the wholesale market of the city of Yiwu, a young man named Ding Heng sits in front of a small forest of plastic Christmas trees. His firm usually sells about 1m yuan of them to America every year. All those orders have been put on hold since tariffs were announced, he says. They will have to resume soon or he will miss this year's season. ""There's still time now. After two months there won't be."" And there is no market for them in China. Last summer Su Zhan's hat-making company received a rush of orders for bright red baseball caps emblazoned with the phrase ""Make America Great Again"". Mr Su shipped lots of the caps to America, and would be happy to send more. But few people are buying them these days. Mr Trump's tariffs have made them too expensive for American importers. Half of the firm's orders have been cancelled. Surprisingly, some Yiwu traders say they sympathise with Mr Trump's aims. ""I think they've no better option. America's manufacturing industry is gone and they're trying to bring it back,"" says one trader. ""Without manufacturing a country's power will wane."" Others grumble about American attempts to stop China's rise. Few, however, think Mr Trump's tariff strategy will ever really threaten the dominance of China's factories. America's labour costs are too high, and ""American workers like freedom, they can't deal with tedious work,"" says one trader sagely. For that reason, many exporters think Mr Trump will back down on his tariffs, as American consumers start to suffer from the lack of their products. They are encouraged by the back-and-forth with other countries that resulted in a 90-day pause. Still, things will be tough in the interim. Mr Su, for his part, still has to sell his baseball caps. Perhaps shipping them to Mexico and scraping off the ""Made in China"" label might work, he suggests. ■",36.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,newsapi.ai,en ,23821_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"But the new pope's commitment to his predecessor's principal legacy seems clear to most.

Members of the Scottish parliament are to hold their first vote next Tuesday on a private member's bill to legalise assisted dying in Scotland, after months of assessment by a backbench committee. MSPs are expected to vote in favour of allowing the bill to progress to detailed scrutiny but many remain undecided. In a boost to supporters, the Church of Scotland is expected to end centuries of opposition to the practice by becoming the first major denomination in the UK to adopt a neutral position on assisted dying later this month. An expert panel has recommended that its annual general assembly, which starts on 17 May, agrees that Christian arguments in favour of assisted dying are as valid as the theological objections to it. The significance of that shift came when commissioners to its general assembly in May 2023 rebelled unexpectedly against proposals to reaffirm its opposition to assisted dying. They voted for a review, signalling a significant break with churches in the rest of the UK. Church of England, Methodist, Jewish and Muslim leaders and the Roman Catholic churches signed a joint letter with other faiths opposing assisted dying late last year, arguing legalisation could expose elderly and disabled people to ""life-threatening abuse and coercion"". John Swinney, Scotland's first minister and a Church of Scotland member, is expected to state on Thursday he will vote against the bill. He is understood to have concerns about the rules on eligibility for assisted dying becoming looser as time goes on. Holyrood's assisted dying bill, tabled by the Scottish Liberal Democrat MSP Liam McArthur, imposes very strict limits on who is eligible, restricting it to people with terminal illnesses who have mental capacity. McArthur said the Church of Scotland report reflected consistent polling evidence that two-thirds of Scots support assisted dying. It recognised that ""greater choice, compassion and dignity at the end of life is something their faith tells them is the right approach"", he said. Fraser Sutherland, the chief executive of the Humanist Society of Scotland, which supports the bill, said the church's change of stance ended the assumption that secularists and faith groups could not agree. ""This isn't a binary issue; there is growing religious support in favour of change,"" he said. Unlike the proposals for England and Wales in Kim Leadbeater's assisted dying bill going through Westminster, which state patients can only apply for assisted dying within six months of their expected death, there would be no time limit in Scotland. The Scottish bill also proposes that assisted dying will need the approval of two doctors, and not the high court or an expert committee as suggested by Leadbeater. Critics argue that in other jurisdictions that have assisted dying, eligibility rules have changed to include people who are mentally ill or have non-terminal illnesses. Supporters of assisted dying say this has never happened in places with the same strict rules planned for Scotland. Alyson Thomson, of the pro-change group Dignity in Dying Scotland, said: ""Most MSPs I have spoken to recognise the harms caused by the status quo. They can see it's unacceptable for dying people to have to consider travelling to Switzerland, stopping eating and drinking, taking matters into their own hands, or suffer if they are facing a bad death.""",35.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,19412_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Cavanagh appts Deputy Chief Ward deputy dir of Fire Emergency Div,26.0,,,,,,media-combined-all_media2_v2,,en ,37111_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Chance the Rapper on work life balance,998.0,,,,,,media-combined-all_media2_v2,,en ,6055_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Church bells will ring out and beacons will be lit across Berkshire as it commemorates 80 years since VE Day.

The suit was settled the next day for an undisclosed amount, though Ventura's lawsuit kicked off a barrage of suits filed against Combs, many of which alleged sexual assault and sex trafficking. Ventura said Combs first introduced the idea of ""voyeurism"" to her between about six months to a year into the couple dating, stating Combs had told her he wanted to watch her having sex with another man. Ventura said the idea ""shocked"" her, and the idea of participating in freak offs made her ""confused"" and ""nervous."" Much of her time was spent recovering from freak offs, Ventura testified, which often lasted at least one or two days, including one that she said lasted more than four days. Ventura said the freak offs were ""very choreographed"" by Combs, who provided drugs and directed assistants to stock rooms with baby oil. Combs subjected her to freak offs ""weekly for a consistent amount of years,"" the Washington Post reported. ""I felt pretty horrible about myself. I felt disgusting. I felt humiliated,"" Ventura said of the freak offs, adding she ""couldn't talk to anyone about it."" Ventura testified she had raised these concerns to Combs, who was ""pretty dismissive,"" the New York Times reported. Ventura is testifying while nearly nine months pregnant with her third child with her husband Alex Fine. Fine was present in the courtroom after a judge partially rejected the defense's request to bar him from watching Ventura's testimony (Fine must leave when Ventura testifies about her alleged 2018 rape by Combs, the judge ruled). Throughout her testimony, Ventura has occasionally dabbed her eyes and nose with a tissue, and she became emotional and choked back tears while talking about the freak offs, the Washington Post reported. She has spoken softly while testifying, and her voice at times became hoarse, the Post reported. Combs arrived at the courthouse Tuesday morning wearing a light crewneck sweater and greeted his family members, who are in court again on the trial's second day. The Post reported Combs appeared nervous before Ventura's testimony began, adjusting his clothes and refraining from smiling at his supporters in the courtroom, as he has done previously. Israel Florez, then a security guard at the Los Angeles hotel where Combs attacked ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016 in an incident captured on surveillance cameras, testified first at the trial. He said Venture appeared ""scared"" after the altercation, NBC News reported, and testified that Combs was sitting in a towel with a ""devilish stare."" Florez said Combs approached him with a stack of money, telling him: ""Don't tell nobody,"" but Florez rejected the apparent bribe, AP reported. Also on day one, Daniel Phillip, a male escort, was the second to take the stand, testifying he was paid by Ventura to have sex with her at a hotel in 2012 while Combs watched in the corner and masturbated, the New York Times reported, and then repeated the service multiple times with the couple at various hotels. Geragos denied Combs' violent behavior constitutes acts of sex trafficking or other federal crimes. ""He is physical, he is a drug user, you may know of his love of baby oil. Is that a federal crime? No,"" Geragos told the jury, NBC News reported. Geragos addressed the hotel surveillance footage of Combs attacking Ventura, calling his actions ""indefensible,"" ""dehumanizing"" and ""virtually every bad word you can think of,"" but said it is ""not evidence of sex trafficking,"" CNN reported. Geragos argued Ventura was a ""willing participant in their sex life"" while with Combs and claimed Ventura left Combs on her own terms when she realized she would ""never be his wife, never be his love of his life,"" CNN reported. Geragos said Ventura was ""jealous"" of the relationship between Combs and his late ex-girlfriend, Kim Porter, with whom Combs had three children. Geragos also portrayed Combs' other sexual partners as consenting adults and denied they were victims of trafficking. Attorney Emily A. Johnson delivered the opening statement for the prosecution, accusing Combs of running ""a criminal enterprise."" Johnson described one night in which Combs allegedly learned Ventura was seeing another man while they were together, so he enlisted an employee to break into the man's house, the New York Times reported, though the employee did not find the man. Instead, Combs allegedly beat Ventura ""brutally."" Johnson described Combs' ""freak off"" parties, which she says were also referred to as ""wild king nights"" or ""hotel nights,"" alleging Combs' company would pay for parties and hotel rooms in which Combs would allegedly force women to take drugs and have sex with male escorts in encounters Combs sometimes recorded, the AP reported. Johnson described multiple alleged incidents of Combs committing acts of violence, including an incident in 2009 in which he allegedly stomped on Ventura's face, and another in which Combs grabbed an unnamed woman in a chokehold and kicked her to the ground before drugging her and coercing her into participating in a freak-off, the Times reported. The 12 jurors are composed of eight men and four women, the New York Times reported, with six alternates composed of four men and two women. Defense attorneys representing Combs protested some of the struck jurors to the judge, alleging the prosecutors struck seven prospective Black jurors, amounting to a pattern, the AP reported. Subramanian rejected the defense's claim, stating the prosecution gave ""race neutral reasons"" for why each juror was struck and that the defense did not give evidence of discrimination. The jurors range in age from their 30s to their 70s, span jobs including a scientist, massage therapist, deli clerk and investment analyst, and they hail from Manhattan, the Bronx and Westchester County, the Times reported. Some of the jurors said they have seen a video of Combs attacking ex-girlfriend Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel, which is expected to be shown at trial. The defense previously struck a juror who said the video made Combs look like an ""angry, hostile person,"" the Times reported. Combs arrived at the courthouse sporting gray hair, which is no longer black as he does not have access to hair dye in jail. He is wearing a light gray sweater and a white collared shirt with khaki pants, the Washington Post reported, and he blew kisses to his family, who are seated in the second row behind him, while walking into the courthouse. Throughout the jury selection process, Combs has donned black-framed glasses and has been actively flipping through a blue notebook and whispering with his defense attorneys, the Post reported. Combs faces five federal charges: two counts of sex trafficking, two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and one count of racketeering conspiracy. The fourth and fifth charges, one additional count each of sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, were added by prosecutors in April in a superseding indictment concerning an alleged unnamed victim, referred to as ""Victim-2."" Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges and rejected a plea deal earlier this month. Federal agents raided Combs' homes in March 2024, and he was arrested by authorities in September 2024 after being indicted by a grand jury. While awaiting trial, Combs has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, a jail known for poor conditions that has also housed disgraced crypto executive Sam Bankman-Fried and currently houses Luigi Mangione, accused of the killing of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson.

His deportation came after authorities declared him, along with about 240 other men, to be a member of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang that the US government has defined as a terrorist organization. Lozano-Camargo's family members deny that he has gang affiliations. Politico revealed Lozano-Camargo's identity after a Maryland judge last month ruled that the Trump administration had improperly removed him in violation of a 2024 legal settlement that forbade immigration authorities from deporting him while his application for asylum was pending. The judge, Stephanie Gallagher, who was appointed to the bench by Trump, ordered officials to ""facilitate"" Lozano-Camargo's return to the US. So far, the administration has not complied. He is reported to have entered the US in 2022 as an asylum seeker, initially spending time in a facility for underage migrants until he turned 18. According to Politico, he was subsequently twice arrested for possession of cocaine, most recently last November, and was sentenced in January to 120 days in prison. It was from there that he was transferred to the custody of the Immigration, Customs and Enforcement authority (Ice), which filed an application for his detention, claiming that he was in the country illegally. In her ruling, Gallagher agreed with immigrant rights advocates that Lozano-Camargo should not have been deported until his asylum application was resolved. While withholding his identity by referring to him only by a pseudonym, ""Cristian"", she said he was ""fleeing danger and threats in Venezuela"". Politico said Lozano-Camargo's identity was disclosed in metadata embedded in government court filings. A justice department court filing released on Monday disputed the judge's assessment, saying he belonged to ""a violent terrorist gang"", thus disqualifying him from asylum in the US. Bringing him back to the US ""would no longer serve any legal or practical purpose"", justice department lawyers wrote. Gallagher was due to further rule on the matter in a Baltimore court on Tuesday. Lozano-Camargo's case resembles that of Kilmar Ábrego García, a Maryland resident who was deported to El Salvador in March despite a previous court order issued in 2019 establishing that he had protected status because he was at risk of violence if he was returned to the country of his origin. Ábrego García is Salvadorian by birth. The US government, which has claimed that he is a member of the MS-13 gang - something Ábrego García denies - admitted that he had been deported by mistake but has defied court orders to return him to the US. Ábrego García was removed from the US on the same set of flights as Lozano-Camargo but has been transferred from Cecot to another facility because of the international publicity surrounding his case. Lozano-Camargo's family has tried to draw attention to his plight in social media posts. His mother, Daniella, has proclaimed his innocence in a tearful Facebook video. Possessing a valid work permit, he is said to have been living in Houston and washing cars for a living before his detention. His deportation was among those highlighted by the Guardian in March, amid speculation that he was one of hundreds of Venezuelans singled out for removal on the basis of their tattoos, which authorities claimed identified them as members of Tren de Aragua. Lozano-Camargo is said to have several tattoos, including one bearing the name of his father - who died when he was a child. Critics say Tren de Aragua members do not use tattoos to advertise their membership with the gang.",27.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,52514_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Daulton Varsho of the Toronto Blue Jays turned a routine catch Tuesday into a spectacular feat watched by millions.

The commemorations of the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany's defeat in the second world war painted a picture of the two Eurasian neighbours locking arms against the West and the international order that followed that victory. Mr Putin boasted that their strategic co-operation was built on the ""unshakeable principle of equality"". China's president praised their ""everlasting"" friendship. Mr Xi first attended such a parade in 2015, just after Russia's annexation of Crimea and its first incursion in Ukraine. That first visit was a clear sign of Russia's pivot towards Asia. The two men have long seen each other as comrades-in-arms against American dominance, and the two have co-ordinated policy closely since Donald Trump began his second term. Parading their friendship in Red Square was meant to show that Mr Trump's idea of splitting Russia from China is futile. But its futility is less because Mr Trump faces a strong alliance against him than because of Russia's utter dependence on China. Indeed Russia is more dependent on China now than at any time in its history. Nowhere is that clearer than in the cities along the two countries' 4,300km-long border. Manzhouli is a Chinese town bursting with symbols of Sino-Russian amity. Statues of a Chinese panda and a Russian white bear hold hands on the high street. Bustling restaurants serve Russian staples like vodka, borscht and black bread. Blonde Russian dancers in traditional dress cajole Chinese patrons to twirl with them. The town has enjoyed a trade boom in recent years. Chinese-made equipment is piled ready to be shipped over the border. Trucks and trains are stacked with timber and coal that have come the other way. Total trade between the two countries increased by 66% from 2021 to 2024, to $245bn. Russia supplies oil, gas and other energy exports accounting for 80% of everything Russia sends to China. In return it gets Chinese ready-made consumer goods, cars and technology. Many are ""dual-use"" goods like machine tools and semiconductors, which can have military as well as civilian uses. These have helped prop up the Russian war machine. But the shipments matter far more to Russia than to China. While China accounted for 34% of Russia's total trade in 2024, Russia made up just 4% of China's. Western sanctions have left Russia with few alternative buyers for its raw materials, and no real alternative supplier for all the imported goods it needs. Dependencies in the other direction are diminishing. Russia is still China's biggest foreign supplier of weapons. But these days China can make most of what it needs itself. Its total weapons imports fell by 64% from 2020 to 2024 compared with the previous five years, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, a think-tank. All this gives China a lot of leverage. Since the war began it has snapped up lots of Russian oil at a discount. Since 2019 a pipeline called the ""Power of Siberia"" has delivered Russian gas at low prices into north-eastern China. But Russian requests to build a second pipeline further west are on hold because Chinese officials think they can force Russia to sell its gas more cheaply. China also wants to diversify its energy imports. There are only ""limited"" prospects for Russian commodity exports to China to continue to grow, wrote Filip Rudnik of , a think-tank in Berlin, in a recent article. In March some Chinese state-owned firms reportedly curbed Russian oil imports for fear of American sanctions being tightened. Sanctions have also pushed Russia to cut its reliance on the dollar. In 2023 the Chinese yuan overtook the dollar to become the most popular currency traded on the Moscow Exchange, the country's largest. Last year Russia's central bank said it had no real alternative to the yuan to use for its reserves. Most of Russian trade with China is now settled in the currency. This makes its reserves vulnerable to losses if relations with China worsen. While China is happy to buy up Russian commodities and dump its own consumer goods there, its investment in its neighbour remains low, and it has little interest in helping Russia modernise or diversify its economy. Cumulative direct Chinese investments in Russia in 2024 reached just $18bn -- equivalent to 1% of Russia's and barely twice as much as China has invested in Kazakhstan, a much smaller economy. Trade with the , by contrast, accounted for 37% of all Russian trade before Mr Putin's pivot towards China. Energy exports made up just 62% of what Russia shipped to the And before the war the was Russia's largest investor. In 2019 its foreign direct-investment stock amounted to €311bn ($346bn), while Russia's stock in the was €136bn. As Re-Russia, a Vienna-based analysis firm, notes ""the model of China's economic interaction with Russia looks much more colonial than the Russian-European partnership before the war."" At the same time, China maintains some diplomatic distance. Both Mr Putin and Mr Xi enjoy railing against ""hegemonism"" (read: America). And China wants to keep Mr Putin in power and his war economy afloat. But it would rather not encourage Mr Putin to engage in more militarist adventures, says Alexander Gabuev, of the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Centre, another think-tank in Berlin. For China, Russia's invasion of Ukraine is like ""a barbarian king has launched a war against his little barbarian brother,"" he says. One sign of China's caution can be seen at the general assembly, where it has abstained in most votes on the war. China is also trying to cosy up to Europe. In April it dropped sanctions on several parliamentarians, in place since 2021 as a result of the 's own sanctions on Chinese officials over human-rights abuses. One way Russia could reduce reliance on China is by improving its relationship with America, where the Trump administration has been more friendly than its predecessor, says Sergey Radchenko of Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. Rather than having no partners at all, ""Putin could say, 'We have options',"" he says. But China is keen to keep Russia where it is. As Mr Xi wrote in an article in the Russian media on May 7th, ""Together we must foil all schemes to disrupt or undermine our bonds of amity and trust."" Mr Putin's war and the extent of China's influence make any Russian turn to the West unlikely. The economic imbalance between Russia and China contrasts sharply with Russia's sense of its own importance. Many Russians still see China like a younger brother. According to a recent poll, twice as many (56%) believe their country has greater influence in the world than those who think that China has (27%). China is still seen as Russia's friend, but the number of people who feel the relationship is improving has fallen from 63% to 50% over the past two years. In Manzhouli, the ironies of the increasingly unequal relationship are glaring. The town was founded by Russia in 1901, after it forced a decaying imperial China to allow access to the region's resources. For much of the 20th century, the Soviet Union was the ""elder brother"" of its socialist neighbour. Now local Chinese increasingly regard Russians with pity. The brotherly relationship ""has been reversed"", says one shopkeeper. The younger brother has pulled ahead. ■",24.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,newsapi.ai,en ,23076_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Despite his opposition to the Vietnam War, as an investor he took over an ailing defense contractor, Loral, and turned it into a multibillion-dollar company.",37.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,50803_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Despite worthy intentions, Classic Stage Company’s staging of “The Forest” is not likely to inspire a revival of interest in the work of Alexander Ostrovsky.",28.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,53247_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Determining what about a dream makes it meaningful.,34.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,3495_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Developers in places like Newark, Trenton and even parts of Jersey City must overcome the weight of reputations that soured long ago and never really recovered.",33.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,60004_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Disney World's Haunted Mansion Damaged During Hurricane Irma,26.0,,,,,,media-combined-all_media2_v2,,en ,48421_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Do cats ever regret anything?

President Donald Trump has wished the new pope well in his role, calling Leo's election ""such an honor for our country."" But it comes days after Trump posted an artificial intelligence-generated image of himself dressed as pope amid days of official mourning for Pope Francis. That act raised eyebrows at the Vatican and was denounced by former Italian Premier Romano Prodi as indecent political interference in matters of faith. And last month, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops announced the end of a half-century of partnerships with the federal U.S. government to serve refugees and migrant children, saying the ""heartbreaking"" decision followed the Trump administration's abrupt halt to funding. The majority of Leo's posts on the X platform are related to or in support of Catholic news and church initiatives. He rarely writes original content, but a look back through his social media timeline shows numerous posts sharing viewpoints opposed to moves aimed at restricting acceptance of migrants and refugees in the U.S. Vance, a convert to Catholicism, is the most high-profile Catholic in American politics. He's drawn attention from the man who now leads the global church, prompting Leo to return to X after a nearly two-year absence to share criticism of the vice president's views. In early February, Leo shared an article from a Catholic publication with the headline, ""JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others."" It came days after Vance -- in discussing critiques of the Trump administration's immigration policies -- in a Fox News interview had referenced a Christian tenet ""that you love your family and then you love your neighbor, and then you love your community, and then you love your fellow citizens, and then after that, prioritize the rest of the world."" In response to online criticism of his position, Vance posted on X, ""Just google 'ordo amoris.' Aside from that, the idea that there isn't a hierarchy of obligations violates basic common sense."" ""Ordo amoris,"" a historic Catholic tenet, translates to ""order of love."" Ten days after his initial post, Leo shared another piece from a Jesuit publication, titled, ""Pope Francis' letter, JD Vance's 'ordo amoris' and what the Gospel asks of all of us on immigration."" Prior to his first February post, Leo had been dormant on X since July 2023. After Leo's election Thursday, Vance posted congratulations on X, adding, ""I'm sure millions of American Catholics and other Christians will pray for his successful work leading the Church. May God bless him!"" The pope's final post as Cardinal Robert Prevost was a recirculation on April 14 of a post by church chronicler Rocco Palmo about Trump's Oval Office meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele. Bukele said it was ""preposterous"" for his country to bring a Maryland man who was wrongly deported there in March back to the U.S., despite a Supreme Court ruling calling on the administration to ""facilitate"" Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return. Leo reposted Palmo's link to an article by Washington-area Bishop Evelio Menjivar -- who was born in El Salvador -- asking, ""Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed? How can you stay quiet?"" As Trump's campaign ramped up in July 2015, Leo posted to X a Washington Post op-ed by Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the archbishop of New York, with the headline, ""Why Donald Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric is so problematic."" In the wake of Trump's first election in 2016, Leo reposted a homily in which Los Angeles Archbishop José Gomez -- characterizing the fear among many, including schoolchildren who ""think the government is going to come and deport their parents, any day now"" -- said that America is ""better than this."" Days later, Leo also posted an article by a Catholic outlet quoting Democrats as saying that, in her loss, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton ""ignored pro-lifers at her own peril."" In September 2017, months into Trump's first term, Leo recirculated a post by author-activist Sister Helen Prejean saying she stands ""with the #Dreamers and all people who are working toward an immigration system that is fair, just, and moral."" He also reposted church chronicler Rocco Palmo's piece with the teaser, ""Saying Trump's 'bad hombres' line fuels 'racism and nativism,' Cali bishops send preemptive blast on DACA repeal.""",35.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,21023_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Electrical utilities said they weathered earlier conditions as persistent geomagnetic storms were expected to cause another light show in evening skies.,34.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,68684_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Evangelicals say president is in step on core issues such as abortion and Israel - and they're backing him all the way When asked about Donald Trump's Easter morning post wishing a happy holiday to ""the Radical Left Lunatics ... fighting and scheming so hard to bring Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners"" to the United States, Jackson Lahmeyer, an Oklahoma evangelical Christian pastor, said: ""Isn't it terrible that they are wanting to do that?"" Lahmeyer, the founder of the Pastors for Trump organization, was not bothered by Trump's extreme and divisive message on the Christian religious holiday, because, he said: ""You cannot unify with evil."" Lahmeyer's attitude appears typical of many white evangelical leaders who still strongly support Trump despite what - for many - is violent, extremist-laden language that many would see as unsuitable for any religious occasion, let alone one intimately connected to rebirth, forgiveness and peace. But those leaders in the US say Trump - unlike some past Republican presidents - has followed through on campaign promises concerning core issues such as abortion, immigration, the location of the US embassy in Israel and, more generally, his pledge to ""bring back Christianity"". More good things could be in store for that demographic because in a second Easter post on his platform Truth Social, Trump said he would make America ""more religious, than it has ever been before!!!"" ""He has moved the needle for the Christian agenda unlike anyone else, especially in modern times,"" said Lahmeyer, who attended an Easter dinner at the White House. ""As a pastor, obviously, that is music to my ears."" White evangelical voters also turned out in large numbers for George W Bush when he ran for president in 2000 and 2004, but they were disappointed because they felt he did not do enough to oppose same-sex marriage or to ban abortion. Bush also, when compared to Trump, had a more liberal immigration policy, including supporting providing undocumented immigrants the chance to become citizens, according to John Fea, a history professor at Messiah College in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and the author of Believe Me: The Evangelical Road to Donald Trump. ""Bush wasn't willing to give them everything that they wanted to be elected,"" Fea said. ""Trump will do what evangelicals tell him to do for the most part, in order to maintain power."" In addition to appointing supreme court justices who ruled that there is no constitutional right to abortion, Trump also moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which previous presidents had said they supported but did not implement. ""They all said it to get votes. They never did it. The president did it,"" said Lahmeyer, who ran for Senate and lost in 2022. During this term, Trump has signed executive orders to establish a faith office and a taskforce to address ""anti-Christian bias"" in the federal government. To evangelical leaders, that emphasis on Christian values stands in contrast to how they perceive the Biden administration's actions, including in 2024 declaring 31 March Transgender Day of Visibility, the date when it had been celebrated since its creation in 2009, but last year fell - entirely coincidentally - on Easter Sunday. But in a world where conspiracy theories and misinformation is rife, that sparked anger among rightwing Christians. ""Easter was barely mentioned,"" said Brad Sherman, an Iowa pastor and Republican now running for governor. ""In fact, I think it was more about some kind of LGBTQ awareness day or something, if I remember correctly, so I just feel like President Trump is standing up for Christian values."" In actual fact, Biden continued the tradition of the annual White House Easter egg roll and in a statement said: ""As we gather with loved ones, we remember Jesus's sacrifice ... with wars and conflict taking a toll on innocent lives around the world, we renew our commitment to work for peace, security, and dignity for all people."" This year, Trump held an Easter prayer service and dinner with Lahmeyer; prominent pastors such as Franklin Graham and Robert Jeffress; and his personal pastor, Paula White-Cain, who now leads the White House faith office, among others. ""[Trump] preached the gospel to us pastors, and I thought that was amazing,"" Lahmeyer said. While most white evangelicals support Trump, there are Christian leaders, including evangelicals, who have criticized some of the president's policy decisions, especially to eliminate 83% of US Agency for International Development (USAID) programs. Among the initiatives affected was the President's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (Pepfar), which has saved millions of lives from HIV/Aids and was popular with evangelicals. ""We see it as really overarchingly a pro-life program in that it promotes the life-saving need for HIV treatment,"" Emily Chambers Sharpe, the health director at World Relief, the humanitarian arm of the National Association of Evangelicals, told the Guardian. But the person behind many of the federal government cuts, Elon Musk, head of the so-called ""department of government efficiency"", called USAID a ""criminal organization"" and said that it was ""time for it to die"". Adam Russell Taylor, the president of Sojourners, a Christian social justice group, said such remarks remind him of ""the prophet Isaiah, who forewarned us that woe to you that call evil, good, and good, evil"". The administration is ""making these allegations that aren't backed up by evidence or proof. And they disparage this whole body of work that has created such goodwill around the world and is so aligned with our Christian values,"" Russell Taylor said. But many American evangelicals continue to support Trump despite such cuts, because concern for the poor ""always takes a back seat in evangelical politics to abortion [and] control of the supreme court, which will allow them to have the religious freedom that they want"", said Fea, the history professor. Tony Suárez, the founder of Revivalmakers Ministries, an evangelical group, said he supports Trump because he is trying to strengthen border security and is restoring ""respect for conservative, Judeo-Christian values"". Once the country secures the border and removes ""the criminal element"", Suárez, who is also executive vice-president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, said he would like to see a pathway to at least legal permanent residency for undocumented immigrants. He thinks that based on some of his comments during his first term, Trump would support that too. But Trump also wants to end birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants and foreign residents, a guarantee under the 14th amendment. Asked for his position on this, Suárez said that is ""a little bit above me to understand what it is specifically that they are arguing"". And on cuts to foreign aid programs, Suárez said he views them ""as difficult decisions that any organization, denomination, reformation, might have to take, and they will never be popular"". Suárez joked that the only thing he disagrees with Trump on is him saying that ""you may even get tired of winning"". ""I'm not tired,"" Suárez said. ""I'm looking for the next win.""",35.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,newsapi.ai,en ,4053_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Even as Covid-19 sickened passengers, the Costa Luminosa was slow to act to prevent infections, despite two previous serious outbreaks on its parent company’s ships.",31.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,16509_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Even as floods worsen, Midwest towns plan new riverfront development",26.0,,,,,,media-combined-all_media2_v2,,en ,60628_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Events in Orlando, London and Anguilla are worth getting on a plane for.",998.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,17903_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Every building is different.

(AP) -- An Olympic track medalist is charged in Florida with punching a woman, a hurdler who also competed in the Olympics. A Broward County Sheriff's Office arrest report says that Fred Kerley, 29, allegedly hit Alaysha Johnson with a closed fist at a hotel near Fort Lauderdale on Thursday. Kerley is charged with misdemeanor battery in the incident that left Johnson with a bloody nose. Kerley won a silver medal in the 100-meter race at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo and a bronze medal in the same event at the Paris Olympic Games in 2024, where Johnson also competed. The arrest report says they previously had a relationship and got into a heated argument at the Florida hotel where they were staying before a track meet in the area. Kerley's attorney, Richard Cooper, said in an email Saturday that he has ""a target on his back"" that leads to unfounded allegations by ""fierce and sometimes jealous competitors."" ""We ask the public not to rush to judgment as the exculpatory facts eventually come to light,"" Cooper said. ""Fred looks forward to getting back to competing and away from distractions as his legal team works to resolve these accusations."" It's not Kerley's first brush with the law. This comes just a few months after he was arrested for allegedly punching a Miami Beach police officer on Jan 2., an incident in which police used a Taser on him. He was also charged in May with domestic battery against his wife, according to court records.

Peter Parker worried about his homework. The Fantastic Four bickered like flatmates. Even the Hulk, a walking nuclear tantrum, was really just a green and muscular guy having a bad day. Over at DC, though, the heroes remained clean, polished and largely unbothered - moral titans gazing down from above, solving problems without ever really having any of their own. Superman was the prototype of that ideal: an all-powerful alien whose only weakness was a glowing space rock and an unshakable sense of duty. He wasn't like us - he was better than us. And that was the point. When Margot Kidder's Lois Lane first meets the man of steel in 1978's Superman, she is almost impossibly awestruck by the presence of this walking, talking, flying god. Lois's wide-eyed vulnerability is a stark contrast with the condescension she doles out to his alter ego, Clark Kent. The two sides of the Last Son of Krypton might be exactly the same person, but it's virtually impossible for anyone to recognise them as such, because one radiates impossible power while the other can barely hold on to his briefcase. For those of us brought up on the 1978 version of Superman, the sight of him squirming in the face of a mildly probing interview by Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) in the first full trailer for James Gunn's Superman is like watching a Greek god forget his lines in a school play. Rather than a morally upright, granite-jawed colossus watching over us like Jesus in a cape, this new David Corenswet-essayed take on Kal-El is one who is less a saviour from the stars than a disbelieving schoolboy who can't quite understand how he's getting aggravation for rescuing a cat up a tree. Zack Snyder briefly gave us a glimpse of a Superman who is not always the world's favourite superhero in Man of Steel in 2013, but by the time we got to 2016's execrable Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, all those intriguing undertones about divine power and human frailty had dissipated. The fact that Gunn is picking this concept up and running with it tells us that he clearly wants to bring us a Superman who inspires awe once again; though there will be no return to Christopher Reeve's effortlessly noble, flawlessly statuesque Man of Steel. This time around, it's less about the idea of Superman as an extra-terrestrial trying to work out how to be human, and more about Kal-El as a guy who is just as human as the rest of us - but just happens to come from outer space. Might the bad guys of Gunn's film - Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor and Angela Spica's Engineer - help Superman find his place in the moral architecture, by showing him why rules matter? In the comics, the Engineer is a member of the Authority - an antihero crew parachuted into DC from the WildStorm imprint in the late 1990s. This morally ambiguous squad of powerhouses believe the world is too broken for compassion, and too far gone for the sense of truth, justice and the American way espoused by the Man of Steel. Where Superman sees hope, they see a target. Where he wants to protect, they want to improve - violently, if necessary. It's not yet clear if other members of The Authority - trenchcoated brute Midnighter or the unhinged, solar-powered demigod that is Apollo - will appear in Gunn's Superman. But the arrival on screen of these most morally unhinged saviours might be just what our boy needs to see the light. Could such ethical tension - a fundamental clash between idealism and pragmatism - be the emotional backbone not just of this film, but of Gunn's new DCU at large? Either way, it's clear that DC's big cheese is less interested in the Superman who flies above us and more the one who stumbles among us. This new Man of Steel is primed and ready to save the world ... even if he's starting to suspect that being human might just be the hardest part of the whole gig.",998.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,18417_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Father Kirk, for decades a presence in the civil rights and antiwar movements, established Emmaus House, a communal residence for the homeless, in the mid-1960s.",37.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,NYT Archive,en ,31142_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Few people think yellow suits them, but try this soft shade with a golden-hour mellowness What's up, buttercup? Yes, I'm talking to you in that delightful yellow you are wearing. Please tell me you are indeed wearing yellow? Because unless you have been hiding underneath a rock for the past two months, you can't have failed to notice that butter yellow is the new black. The ""new black"" narrative is one of fashion's most familiar plotlines. Big explosions, dramatic music, and - bam - we all stop wearing the nice normal blue jeans and black jackets that we (a) like and (b) actually own, and start wearing a completely different colour instead. This is fundamentally a bit implausible on many levels. But then, so is the story of Cinderella, and that hasn't stopped ""rags to riches with a side order of fairy godmother"" from being the plot of a million films. My point is this: I don't expect you to take the butter-yellow trend completely literally, but I do suggest you take it seriously. It is not necessary to wear it head to toe, but you would be wise not to laugh it off. Butter yellow is the best ""new black"" we've had in years. If you are going to give a colour a headline slot in style, then it needs to own the stage. Butter yellow is ideal: this is not a colour that one tends to wear by accident. It is a fashion statement that tells the world that you are up to date with pop culture. The backstory begins at Paris fashion week last year, where Chloé led a revival of sunshine-coloured bohemian holiday dressing. I remember two divine, long sunshine-yellow dresses on the catwalk, a slip and a tiered gown, both trimmed with ivory lace. I also remember an oversized yellow parka jacket that was giving that's-what-I-want-to-wear-at-Glastonbury vibes all the way back in October. Around the same time, the world became obsessed with Sabrina Carpenter's hair - not only a creamy yellow, but curled in the elaborate licked whorls of a butter dish delivered with room-service breakfast in a fancy hotel. Fast forward to the 2025 Oscars, and Timothée Chalamet brought butter yellow to the red carpet. As the first public Givenchy moment by new creative director Sarah Burton, Chalamet's butter yellow was colour as fashion moment. An intentional choice by one of fashion's most beloved designers and one of its hottest celebrities. Obviously, he looked great, and butter yellow was thickly spread all over the high street pretty much by breakfast time the next day. I know what you're thinking: it doesn't suit me. Nobody thinks they look their best in yellow. People will tell you it brings out the worst in their skin colour. Yellow is blamed for making blond hair look brassy. For making serious people look unserious. Frankly, no one has a good word to say for it. But while sharp, blue-tinged citrus yellow has an acidic harshness that feels unrelaxing to look at, warm butter yellow is softer, with a golden-hour mellowness to it. If you are still concerned about how it reflects on your colouring, just add a pop of a different colour at the neckline. This could be a crewneck white T-shirt layered underneath your butter-yellow sweater, so that a ribbon of white dazzles at your throat like a string of pearls. (T-shirt not sitting high enough? Carefully snip the label out and wear it back to front.) Or it could be a navy sweater tied around your shoulders. And besides, as we said already, you can take the butter-yellow trend seriously without taking it literally. In other words, you don't have to wear it as a dress or a suit. You could do a lemon-yellow shoe. A basket bag would be cute. Anyway, the fact that it might not make you look good is exactly why butter yellow does make you look good. It makes you look bold and brave. It might not reflect well on your complexion, but it reflects well on your personality. Butter yellow is the colour of spring, of daffodils and speckly Mini Eggs. A butter-yellow shirt will be a brilliant beach cover-up this summer, but in the meantime you can wear it with jeans. It will look great!

""The reaction, of course, was bafflement; how could we do such a thing? But that's what happened in the 1960s.""

President John F Kennedy became the project's honorary chairman until he was assassinated in 1963, with his successor Lyndon B Johnson then taking on the role.

As part of my regular role as operating partner, board member, and CEO advisor, I have learned that most leaders and investors think of AI primarily as a new and powerful technology - which it is. But it is more than that. It is also a fundamentally different way to design and organize your business to achieve vastly improved returns, including increased revenues, reduced costs and the delivery of multisided business models with network effects and data moats that are hard to penetrate. In essence, it is a means to show customers and investors 'the money' as Tom Cruise said in his starring role in the 1996 movie, Jerry Mcquire. As a start up organization, you can reach new heights of ARR growth faster than ever before. As a legacy business, you can create new revenue sources at light speed that are material to your future. Wonder how you can show yourself and your stakeholders the money? Read on to learn how to be All in AI with both the technology and adjacent business model design. As we all know (unless you don't read the daily news or watch cable TV news), AI is part of almost every headline. In fact, the most valuable companies, leading government officials, and preeminent institutional investors worldwide are trying to be part of, and influence the future of, AI. But who is really making money with AI? Here are just a few start-ups that are generating real revenues from AI: These companies are using various business models to enhance their profits and growth prospects in the AI world. The good news is that this list of companies is just the tip of the iceberg. There are companies like this emerging in almost every industry. What these All in AI companies, and their peer group, are showing the rest of the corporate world is that YOU can make real money from AI - whether from subscriptions, usage fees, or transactions. And investors are paying up as they watch more companies find their revenue footings. Like all innovations, business models also have their life spans. Just like software spawned new GTM, sales, marketing and business models, AI is as well, but faster than the SaaS revolution. In fact, the new All in AI companies are turning many of the quarter century old SaaS paradigms on their head. Instead of selling ""best practices"" or ""efficiency"" using expensive salespeople and marketing spend, the new All in AI companies are using AI Agents to help their customers find and generate more revenues, reduce operating costs, and attain higher investor valuations. By dramatically simplifying the decision-making for B2B customers (i.e. ""Pay me $1 and you'll get $10 in return.""), All in AI companies are able to: Bottom line: All in AI companies deliver value increasingly at 1/10 the cost and often at 10X the speed. For almost any CEO, any product that makes them money, reduces costs, or creates shareholder value is pure gold. The result: even the biggest of hyperscalers, and the backer of OpenAI, Microsoft, has said that SaaS, as we know it, is going to be replaced by AI agents. After reading the above, I imagine you are asking yourself - how do I determine if AI can really drive new top line revenues, reduce costs or create a fundamentally new business model that can either replace my current business model or can be operated alongside my current business? My answer to this question follows: To become valuable and grow your top and bottom line in the age of AI, it's time to be All in AI. To achieve this goal, follow the three rules below: AI is a more powerful way to achieve the exact same customer and investor fundamentals that have characterized the winners from the past few decades via SaaS.. By automating every part of your company's traditional processes (sales, marketing, HR, code development) with AI, leaders can focus on creating more value for their customers and investors via better network effects, data moats, and multisided revenue models. By doing what you have always done, you will get the outcomes you always got. The only way to change your future is by changing what you think and do and the speed at which you operate. But why listen to me? Just watch where your customers' and investors' dollars are flowing and remember, unless you are All in AI, you are going to miss the boat (literally) of success.",36.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,39504_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights.

Few legends walk among us, but Sir David Attenborough, the world-famous natural historian and beloved voice of nature documentaries, is undeniably one of them. On May 8, he celebrated not only his 99th birthday but also the premiere of a new documentary he narrates, 'Ocean with David Attenborough', in Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall in London. In the United States, it will only be released on National Geographic on June 7 for World Oceans Day, then it will be available to stream globally the next day on Disney+ and Hulu. However, conversations have already started in the various online forums and social media platforms. Daniela V. Fernandez, founder of Sustainable Ocean Alliance and Seabird Ventures, shared that seeing the documentary wrecked her. And not because it told her something she didn't already know, but because of the helplessness she felt watching it. Her message was clear: ""This film is a call to wake up. To rise. To disrupt. To refuse to be complicit. Because if we don't, we'll be the generation responsible for letting the ocean die on our watch."" Attenborough delivers a powerful message: ""I now understand the most important place on Earth is not on land,"" he said. ""And we must open our eyes, what is happening right now below the waves. If we save the sea, we save our world."" The documentary shows the devastating impact of global heatwaves, coral bleaching and industrial fishing, including bottom trawling, through close-up, explicit footage produced by Silverback Films and Open Planet Studios. Luke McMillan, an ocean campaigner working for the Whale and Dolphin Conservation, shared that ""the footage was extraordinary, at times even terrifying."" However, he fears whether the documentary itself will be capable of mobilizing the masses to demand urgent action. ""I fear we're lost, because if Sir David can't move the needle, what hope is left for the rest of us trying to,"" he wrote. Dave Powell, producer of 'Your Brain On Climate' podcast, feels hopeful. ""Attenborough's stuff always works. Not for getting people out on the streets. But for hardening the values that allow all of the other campaigns, mobilisations, and the rest of it to fall on fertile ground,"" he wrote. Attenborough emphasizes in the documentary that the solution is to designate at least a third of the world's oceans as fully protected marine areas (MPA) with clear no-take zones. The documentary features insights from a team of experts, including Dr. Enric Sala, founder of National Geographic Pristine Seas. His team's latest peer-reviewed study, which I wrote about in February, discusses the benefits of MPAs. The study results from three years of work by scientists from National Geographic Pristine Seas and contributors from the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) network of 6,600 dive centers and resorts across more than 180 countries. Turning existing recreational dive sites into fully protected marine reserves could increase average marine life (biomass) by 113%. If governments designate only 1% of the ocean areas used for recreational scuba diving as highly protected MPAs, the global biodiversity score could rise by 5%. Just imagine what protecting 30% of the ocean could mean. While MPAs can significantly boost conservation, there is another side to consider. No-take zones may restrict access to the primary source of food and income for many coastal communities. So, the real challenge is safeguarding ecosystems without sidelining locals. Dr. Drew Richardson, CEO of PADI Worldwide, said in an email interview that PADI considers the 'Ocean' both a stakeholder and partner. Its health and well-being are inherent and imperative. Since PADI celebrates its 60th anniversary, Dr. Richardson recounted the achievements of PADI's Adopt the Blue program, which established 2,750+ underwater dive sites as hubs for local ocean monitoring, a critical precursor to becoming marine protected areas. To date, 32% of these sites have received official MPA Status, and an additional 7% arepending. Furthermore, PADI's Dive Against Debris program removed over 2.6 million marine debris items and freed over 37,000 aquatic animals from entanglement. However, he considers PADI's 30 million certified divers the most powerful opportunity to drive positive change for the ocean. ""We believe that by helping more people experience the wonder of the underwater world, they will also be more passionate about protecting it,"" he said. Take Maputo Dive Center as an example. It is the first Mozambican-owned and operated PADI Dive Center in the country. Through its 'Zero to Hero' training program, the center trains locals with no diving experience to become certified dive professionals and marine conservationists. It is a significant step toward building long-term skills, offering alternatives to fishing-based livelihoods and keeping tourism revenue in the country. In Vanuatu, Big Blue Divers and PADI certified the first ever ni-Vatuan female PADI Professionals in 2024. She now works in a dive center that helps monitor dugong and nudibranch populations. With 425 marine protected areas and five natural UNESCO World Heritage Sites along its coasts and islands, Japan has become a global hub for regenerative diving, said Kristin Valette Wirth, global brand and membership officer at PADI, in an email interview. She highlighted one of PADI's ambassadors, Hiroshi ""Kuma"" Sato, who leads multiple non-governmental organizations focused on seagrass bed restoration, underwater cleanups and marine habitat protection. New Zealand's Poor Knights Islands is widely recognized as the country's most successful MPA, said Wirth. It protects over 9,300 miles of the Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea coastline, safeguarding the habitat of 85% of New Zealand's known marine wildlife. Dive!Tutukaka, the primary dive operator for Poor Knights, actively mentors and trains local Māori to become dive guides, boat captains and stewards of this coastline. A portion of every dive fee directly supports the ongoing conservation efforts. When I asked Dr. Richardson if he had one message to share with viewers after they watch Ocean with David Attenborough, what would it be, he said, ""Take action and know that no constructive difference is insignificant, and making a difference is an individual choice. Individual actions taken by one billion can scale into a positive change.""",36.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,2563_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. For years, leaders have been told to pay attention to ""people and culture."" But in most organizations, that directive has quietly defaulted to human resources (HR). The result? Culture has been treated as a support function -- adjacent to business, not embedded within it. In a world that is increasingly defined by social, technological, and geopolitical disruption, this approach is no longer viable. The playbook is outdated. And the assumptions behind it no longer hold. It's time for CXOs to take direct responsibility for culture and people strategy -- not as a matter of values, but as a matter of business viability. For the past decade, HR leaders and influencers have told leaders to invest in engagement surveys, wellness programs, and diversity initiatives; months long processes to create purpose and value statements. And yet, employee satisfaction remains elusive, turnover persists, and cultural misalignments continue to undermine organizational objectives. Shujaat Ahmad, an expert in AI, Future of Work, and Cultural Transformations, notes, ""The traditional people and culture playbook has grown stale. What worked in predictable, stable environments breaks down amid rapid technological change, shifting societal expectations, and evolving workplace norms."" He points to an uncomfortable truth: The command-and-control approach to organizational dynamics is colliding with the reality of a workforce that demands transparency, purpose, and agency. The external environment only makes these challenges worse. Employees no longer have hard boundaries between work and home lives. Political polarization seeps into workplace dynamics. Economic uncertainty creates tension between organizational needs and individual security. Social movements continue to transform expectations around equity, inclusion, and corporate citizenship. In this new world of work, current people strategies don't just underperform -- they actively backfire. When confronted by culture challenges, executives rightly look to HR leaders for guidance. Leaders who bring impressively formatted dashboards and comprehensive reports that provide more confusion than clarity. In short, data theatre. In his experience, Ahmad has seen engagement scores, turnover metrics, and diversity statistics fill PowerPoint slides without answering the fundamental question: ""What should we do differently? And why does it matter to our business?"" Benchmarks and industry comparisons create the illusion of insight while obscuring the unique context of your organization -- too much information, not enough actionable intelligence. To move beyond data theater, executives must push for insights that connect to business outcomes. Rather than asking ""How engaged are our employees?"" demand to know ""How does engagement impact our ability to innovate?"" Rob Hadley observes, ""I have seen companies implement a generic engagement survey such as Gallup, with the expectation that their managers have the ability to understand that data (which is light on context), and take action while running their businesses or functions. They simply aren't equipped in many cases. If organizations are not executing regular interaction between managers and employees e.g., 1-on-1s or other opportunities to connect and communicate, no amount of engagement data is going to be helpful in building a better employee experience. Talking to people and building relationships is still the best engagement data."" Leaders, instead of tracking time-to-hire, focus on the quality of decisions and their downstream effects on performance and culture. This shift requires a new partnership with HR -- one where executives clearly articulate their strategic questions and HR delivers targeted insights that inform decision-making. But it also demands that CXOs take responsibility for translating people data into cultural direction. Hadley says, ""It's a mistake for business leaders to think they can outsource culture to HR. Many of the factors that drive employee engagement -- like day-to-day operational clarity and team dynamics -- are far beyond HR's scope. If your daily operations are chaotic, no HR program in the world can fix that."" Whether you care about the work habits and expectations set by Gen Z employees or not, younger workers have fundamentally different values around transparency, authenticity, and purpose. And close behind them, Gen Alpha is developing perspectives shaped by even more profound technological and social change. Gone are the days where the employees remained silent on dissatisfying and toxic workplaces. These generations have no interest in silently enduring work cultures that don't prioritize their safety, dignity and well being. At the same time, they're not afraid of sharing their unfiltered reality on Discord, Reddit, and TikTok -- creating a permanent, searchable record of your culture that no employer branding campaign can overcome. They are 40% of the workforce and growing -- more than that in your customer base. Their experiences at work are your brand. One viral post about toxic leadership can undo years of carefully crafted recruitment messaging. Any leader serious about building a lasting brand has to contend with the incoming workforce. Shujaat Ahmad is seeing this play out in real-time. AI is changing everything: how work is done, how skills are valued, and how companies are structured. This is not a future scenario -- it's already here. AI is reshaping how businesses and careers are built. As he sees it, ""The biggest shift isn't just in productivity today -- it's in unlocking innovation that wasn't possible with humans alone."" Business strategy is shifting from taking the easy but failed path of predictable planning to the hard but impactful path of innovating amidst uncertainty. That means your culture -- how your people collaborate, learn, and lead -- has to shift too. And here's the truth: most leadership teams don't yet know how to hire, design, or upskill for this new environment. Ahmad shares his foresight based on how AI has made it easier and faster to build a technology product and go to market. ""Companies will shrink their full-time workforce, relying on AI, marketplaces, and fractional talent. This shift will fuel a rise in smaller, more agile businesses disrupting traditional giants."" Last month, Leslie Feinzaig, the CEO of Graham & Walker named this new trend - seed-strapping. She has seen more and more female founders, ""Raising one round and growing profitably from there."" With smaller, higher impact teams. However, Ahmad makes a key callout for leaders. ""The fundamentals of good leadership and culture remain the same. AI isn't replacing human skills -- it's reshaping what matters. Critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and empathy will be indispensable. The ability to ask the right questions and interpret AI-driven insights will separate leaders from followers. In a world flooded with AI-generated output, authenticity and originality will be the ultimate differentiators. Storytelling and communication -- translating complex insights into action -- will be a game-changer. Leadership and collaboration will matter more than ever. AI can crunch data, but only humans can inspire teams, build trust, and drive meaningful change."" Ahmad believes that AI can be your strategic culture advisor -- giving you the signals that matter and cutting through the noise. But AI only works if your organization is truly data-oriented -- measuring outcomes, not activities. Culture is no longer a downstream concern -- it is a strategic differentiator. It determines whether your organization will attract top talent, adapt to disruption, and retain customer trust in a high-transparency era. Chris Powell, CEO of Talmetrix, with decades supporting CXOs agrees - ""Culture isn't decor -- it's the code. It drives decisions, power, and performance. Transformation means recoding the patterns that run the place."" The organizations that lead the next decade will not be defined by their technology alone, but by the cultures they build to support innovation, inclusion, and agility. It's time for the C-suite to lead that effort. Not beside the business strategy. But at the very heart of it.",36.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,9066_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. HP's Amplify event, which was held this year in Nashville, is always a big partner conference for HP, but it's a venue for launching a lot of the company's commercial and workstation products as well. This especially makes sense this year because Nvidia announced a slew of new workstation GPUs for commercial applications along with DGX Spark and Workstation; some of these chips are being incorporated into new HP models. At Amplify 2025, we even got some gaming updates from HP, which I think is an extension of the company's quieter-than-usual CES showing this year. I believe we're seeing so many new PCs from HP in part to satisfy the companies looking to upgrade outdated computers from 2020 and 2021 -- the height of the Covid pandemic -- as well as those losing Windows 10 support. (Note: HP is an advisory client of my company, Moor Insights & Strategy.) The first lineup to look at is OmniBook. This starts with the OmniBook X series, which this year gets new 14- and 16-inch Flip versions along with a much larger 17.3-inch clamshell. All three laptops will ship with the latest Intel Core Ultra 200V series with up to 32GB of RAM. However, HP is also shipping a version of the 16-inch 2-in-1 Flip that will have AMD Ryzen 5 220 chips, which do not have an NPU, likely for cost reasons. Going further down the OmniBook stack, the OmniBook 7 will also come in similar display configurations of 14-, 16-, and 17.3-inches, with only the 16-inch available as a Flip version. This is where things get confusing, since HP is offering both AI and non-AI PCs in this lineup. There are both 14- and 16-inch versions of the OmniBook 7 that do not ship with a Copilot+-capable NPU. These ship with Intel's Core 200H series, which does not feature a 40 TOPS NPU and doesn't carry an AI PC designation. However, the OmniBook 7 14, 16, 16 Flip and 17 all ship as AI PCs with Core Ultra 200V series CPUs. Those will all be limited to 32GB because the 200V series, codenamed Lunar Lake, has on-package memory. The AI PC models also come with multiple OLED display options, which makes sense. Finally there is the 13.3-inch OmniBook 7 Aero, which comes with an AMD Ryzen AI 300 series chip. This is also considered an AI PC, although this model is likewise limited to 32GB, likely because it's a consumer laptop. If you're keeping count, that's seven different versions of the OmniBook 7 -- which, if you ask me, isn't really accomplishing HP's whole brand consolidation strategy very well. The OmniBook 5 series presents a slightly less confusing story with only five different versions (I'm starting to see a theme here). The OmniBook 5 comes in a 14-inch non-AI PC model and four 16-inch models, which include two non-AI PC versions. The 14-inch Flip and the 16-inch seem to be aimed at price-conscious buyers, since they feature Intel's last-generation Core 7 100U series. The same can be said about the 16-inch non-AI PC model featuring AMD's Ryzen 8000 series, which is also from an older generation. This seems to follow a typical N-1 strategy of offering lower-priced machines. The other 16-inch AI PCs feature a mixture of AMD's latest Ryzen AI 300 and Intel's latest Core Ultra 200V CPUs, all with NPUs capable of more than 40 TOPS. Both versions also offer up to a 2K 120-hertz OLED display as well. Last but not least is the OmniBook 3 series, which sadly comes in only two variants instead of three. There are 14- and 15.6-inch versions, both of which support AI PC capabilities with Copilot+ and feature AMD's Ryzen AI 300 series. Overall, the OmniBook series is getting a lot of silicon refreshes to build out the complete stack of OmniBook offerings from top to bottom -- although I must say that having seven different versions of the OmniBook 7 is a bit confusing, especially because there are even more OmniBooks out there that have already been released. For HP, ""commercial and workstations"" also includes desktops and professional laptops. Among the desktops, there are All-in-One PCs, Tower, Small Form Factor and Mini models. At the Amplify event, HP announced the ProStudio 4 G1i and the EliteStudio 8 G1i desktops. The ProStudio 4 G1i features Intel Core 5 CPUs and AMD graphics inside of a 23.8-inch display. HP says this is intended for SMB frontline professionals, while the EliteStudio G1i is intended for enterprise and SMB professionals, IT managers and back-office employees. The EliteStudio G1i also comes in 23.8- and 27-inch sizes and features Intel's Core CPUs with 13 TOPS of NPU performance. I don't know when Intel decided to use the Core Ultra designation for CPUs with NPUs under 40 TOPS, but I don't like it. The EliteDesk 8 series comes in Tower and SFF configurations, which means the Tower version is just a traditional tower size with up to the same Intel Core 9 200 series CPUs with 13 TOPS NPUs. There are also four different discrete graphics options from AMD, Intel and Nvidia, including the AMD Radeon RX 6300 2GB, Intel Arc A380 6GB, Nvidia A400 4GB and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 8GB. To be candid, these configurations are kind of all over the place, especially considering how different they are in RAM configurations and that at least three of these four options are consumer graphics cards being used in commercial desktops. That said, this is clearly an entry-level offering, so this probably gets a pass. The SFF tower offers the same CPU and GPU options but removes the Intel Arc card and swaps out the RTX 3050 for an A1000 GPU. The ProDesk 4 series also offers very similar CPU and GPU configurations across its Tower and SFF configurations with support for fewer SSDs, which makes it the true entry point for the desktop series. Finally for the commercial desktops are the Mini versions of the EliteDesk PCs; to me, these feel more compelling than the traditional towers. The EliteDesk 8 Mini G1a features AMD's latest Ryzen AI 300 series CPUs and offers up to 64GB of RAM via two SODIMMs in a very compact and slim form factor with integrated graphics. The Mini G1i features Intel's Core CPUs with a chassis similar to the AMD offering. Like the EliteDesk machines, the ProDesk 4 and 8 Mini models offer the same configurations but with fewer tiers of Intel's CPUs. That said, the EliteDesk 8 Mini G1a with AMD ships with a Ryzen 200 series processor, which uses AMD's last-generation CPU cores and doesn't feature an NPU. This is also likely done to keep costs down since not all enterprises or SMBs feel they need AI at the low end. HP also announced new EliteBook and ProBook 8, 6 and 4 series laptops, each with Intel and AMD offerings. The commercial offerings are almost as immense as the OmniBook lineup, with four different versions of the EliteBook 8 G1i -- a 13-inch and 13-inch Flip, 14-inch and 16-inch. Each version comes with four or five display options, but all of them are LCD. These all include Intel's Core Ultra 5 and 7 processors, U and H series 2, which enable up to 64GB of RAM but also come with only a 13 TOPS NPU. The G1a comes in three variants -- 13-, 14- and 16-inch -- and features AMD's Ryzen 200 series, which has a 16 TOPS NPU and older Zen 4 CPU cores. These also offer up to 64GB configurations, even though I think the real loss here is the lack of Copilot+ support. Displays are similar to the Intel variants. In addition to these, HP is also shipping Copilot+-capable systems with Intel CPUs in 14- and 16-inch configurations and AMD CPUs in 13-, 14- and 16-inch configurations. Intel's configurations are limited to 32GB, while AMD's go up to 64GB. All of the above models still ship with LCD panels. The EliteBook 6 series is much simpler, with a 14-inch G1a featuring AMD's Ryzen AI 300 5 and 7 Pro and non-Pro series. There is also the EliteBook 6 G1q, which is powered by a Qualcomm chipset and offers up to 64GB of RAM. It appears that this Qualcomm version will ship with three different tiers of the Qualcomm X series: X Elite, X Plus and X. This laptop will also be the first to carry HP's new Go service. This one-click service is designed to give the user and the IT department a significantly easier onboarding process for 5G connectivity, including getting the best possible service in the area where the user resides with multi-carrier automatic switching that covers AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon. It will also switch automatically between secure Wi-Fi and 5G, depending on the IT department's configuration and security needs. The plan is also very reasonably priced, starting at $19 per month, and should significantly simplify the connected PC experience by making HP the party responsible for the experience from end to end. There are also five more EliteBook 6 series laptops with both AMD and Intel configurations that offer non-Copilot-capable CPUs. At the very bottom of the stack are the ProBook 4 series with a mixture of Intel, AMD and Qualcomm processors. These all come in 14- and 16-inch versions, with the Qualcomm version the only one that comes in a 14-inch model -- but also the only one to have an NPU capable of supporting Copilot+ features. At this low price point, the Snapdragon X CPU with Copilot+ seems like the best configuration among all the competition. I believe that Qualcomm's Snapdragon X entry-level CPU is probably its most competitive offering simply because the Intel and AMD offerings use older CPU designs and lack a competitive NPU. Heck, there's even a version of the G1iR that offers an Intel 13th Gen Core 5 1334U processor -- which is two generations old -- in a brand-new notebook. The HP Z Workstation lineup had a huge presence at CES in the form of the ZBook Ultra G1a and the Z2 Mini G1a, which are both powered by AMD's ""Strix Halo"" Ryzen AI Max 300+ processors. Following that, HP announced the HP ZGX Nano AI Station G1n, which is the company's own version of the Nvidia DGX Spark. The company also announced the ZGX Fury AI Station G1n, which is HP's take on the DGX Station desktop for AI development. This will be powered by Nvidia's GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip, which I talked about in my GTC 2025 coverage. HP also adopted Nvidia's new RTX Pro Blackwell graphics cards for its new desktop and mobile workstation portfolio. The new ZBook Fury G1i will come in 16-inch and 18-inch form factors and feature Nvidia's RTX Pro 5000 graphics, which comes with up to 24GB of VRAM. Intel's Arrow Lake Core Ultra 200 series CPUs will power these laptops, so they should deliver desktop-like performance in a laptop form factor. Speaking of desktops, the Z2 Tower G1i will be the first of HP's desktops to offer the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPU with 96GB of GDDR7 memory. HP upgraded its configuration of this desktop to support the 600-watt version of the RTX Pro 6000 GPU, because there is also a lower-wattage ""Max-Q"" variant that uses just 300 watts -- but is also not as performant. HP also made some additional gaming announcements at Amplify 2025 for its Omen gaming brand. The company did make some Omen announcements at CES 2025 in January, but it definitely felt like some things were missing; in particular, some models needed to be updated to the latest CPUs and GPUs from AMD, Intel and Nvidia. At Amplify, HP updated the Omen 16 Slim -- HP's thinnest gaming platform and sleekest design -- with Intel's Core Ultra 9 processor and the Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU. It also updated the Omen Transcend 14 with the same CPU and GPU options, which gives that model a 25% performance boost over the last generation. HP also announced the HyperX Cloud III S Wireless headset, which touts a 120-hour battery life along with HyperX-tuned acoustics. This is a welcome update to one of HyperX's most popular gaming headsets. It also supports HyperX's 2.4-gigahertz low-latency connectivity, which is now integrated into new HP Omen PCs -- and means no dongles for those gamers. The addition of Bluetooth 5.3 and a second microphone for phone calls makes this an even more capable headset. It's clear that HP has built up the product lines that match its simplified brand nomenclature. While I do believe there might be too much complexity across the OmniBook and EliteBook series, it's quite easy to understand which side of the business each one falls on. I am probably most excited about the new Z series workstations and the EliteBook 6 with HP Go 5G connectivity. HP is clearly getting ready for the new refresh cycle with many of its PCs, and we're seeing AMD gain momentum at HP in terms of designs at all levels of the product stack. While I don't particularly love seeing older chip architectures get launched in new PCs, I do understand the logic for making these PCs more price-competitive. All in all, I am excited to see these products when they do come out, especially since I am a real sucker for connected 5G PCs.",34.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,newsapi.ai,en ,7695_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Hisense has unveiled an overview of its 2025 TV range for the U.K. -- and it's clear that it's out to further capitalize on key areas such as the Mini LED technology and king-sized screen markets that have served it so well in recent years. Though that's not to say there aren't one or two surprises along the way, too. Perhaps the biggest of these surprises is the announcement of a new Hisense OLED TV. While Hisense did carry an OLED TV in its 2024 U.K. offering, it was released and sold without much fanfare. The brand seems much more bullish about this year's upcoming A85Q OLED series, though, picking it out as a highlight of its 2025 range and going to the trouble of explaining that they: Deliver an expanded and more subtly expressed colour gamut capable of ""capturing even the finest tonal shifts""; carry pixel maintenance technology to ensure they don't quickly succumb to screen burn; and are equipped with color correction technology that includes skin tone and primary color correction features designed to help images stay true to the filmmaker's vision. While Hisense hasn't yet announced pricing on its new TVs, experience suggests that Hisense's new OLED model will likely be relatively aggressively priced, too. Less surprising but no less important in Hisense's 2025 U.K. TV range is its new trio of Mini LED series. Heading these Mini LED models up will be the U8Qs, which will combine the highest number of local dimming zones in Hisense's 2025 LCD range with the innate light control advantages of using mini rather than regular sized LEDs. The new U7Q Pro and U7Q will see step downs in the extent of the local dimming technology being used and other aspects of their all-round performance; for instance, while the U8Q and U7Q Pro benefit from Hisense's latest Hi-View AI Engine PRO to deliver better optimised picture and sound and a more intelligent and adaptive viewing experience, while the non-Pro U7Q gets the less powerful Hisense AI Engine processor. But their mini LED technology should still give them an advantage over regular 'big' LED models. The AI Engine PRO system includes user experience innovations such as AI Clear Voice, designed to help dialogue remain clear above background noise; AI Depth, which applies a range of image analysis and enhancement techniques to create a more lifelike sense of picture depth; and a 3D Sound Upscaler that's claimed to be able to create a surround sound experience without the need for real rear or height speakers. Despite being less powerful, the non-PRO AI Engine carried by Hisense's new U7Q Mini LED models and A85Q OLED TVs still manages to provide an AI Sound Optimiser, a Dialogue Clarity mode, an AI Energy Saving light sensor, and various AI-powered picture modes. Hisense's new Mini LED TV series will further benefit from new 165Hz Game Mode support, Dolby Atmos audio playback, Quantum Dot color systems capable of producing a claimed one billion plus shades of color, while all three U8Q, U7Q Pro and U7Q Mini LED ranges will include 75, 85 and 100-inch models, picking up from Hisense's significant moves into the cinema-sized TV market last year. Hisense is also going to be shipping a 100-inch model in its step-down (regular rather than Mini LED) E7Q Pro series, while even its value-focused A7Qs will get a 75-inch screen size - along with supporting contrast-friendly Direct-Lit full array panel technology and Quantum Dot colors. The new E7Q Pro QLED models will also offer 144Hz gaming refresh rate support, as well as a Hisense Game Bar menus screen giving you fast access to the TV's game features, while the E7Q Pro, step-down E7Q, and A7Q models will all support Dolby Vision HDR on top of the basic HDR10 and HLG formats. All three of these mid-range LED models will get the Hi-View AI processing engine, too. Hisense's 2025 TV announcement further states that the brand will be introducing a 65-inch version of its innovative S7 Canvas TVs to go with the already released 55-inch model. Canvas TVs combine a reflection- and glare-rejecting Hi-Matte Display with an ultra-slim wall mount and a choice of three different painting-style frame options (teak, walnut and white) to make them look more like works of art than standard TVs. Wrapping up Hisense's 2025 U.K. TV range, finally, will be the A5Q and A4Qs. Hisense has introduced these new series to bolster its small-screen offering, giving people with small living rooms or who are in the market for a compact second-room TV a way of getting their hands on the new Freely streaming service that Hisense was one of the first TV brands to support. Freely, if you're not familiar with it, is backed by the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, and enables UK viewers to live stream many of the channels carried on the Freeview terrestrial broadcast platform, rather than having to receive them via aerial - as well as carrying tens of thousands of hours of on-demand content. Despite featuring smaller screen sizes, the A5Q and A4Q series apparently still feature 4K Direct-Lit LED panels, Dolby Atmos audio playback, and Quantum Dot color technology. -- Freely Streaming Service Signs Up Two More Major Brands Hisense Unveils Its 2025 U.S. ULED TV Range - Including Multiple 100-Inch Models",33.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,newsapi.ai,en ,70395_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Is anybody watching the news about the financial markets and their own 401(k)s these days? Anybody not? Between tariffs and trade wars and tweets, it's one of those times when a whole lot of eyes seem to be turned to CNBC and its live market coverage, which led me to get an insider's view from the center of the financial storm with CNBC's President KC Sullivan and their long-time senior economics reporter Steve Liesman. Yes, I'm a CNBC alum, but I'm also a consumer here like everybody else. The history of the news media is filled with heroic efforts of reporters at war fronts - from Edward R. Murrow during World War II's London Blitz to CBS News's Dan Rather and Morley Safer in Vietnam to Tyler Hicks covering Afghanistan for 20 years for the New York Times. No reporters face incoming mortar - at least not physically - in reporting business news, but the stakes for those who consume it can be more personal and immediate than most real war reporting. As Liesman told me, ""When the [expletive deleted] hits the fan, our reporting has an economic impact."" CNBC's unique Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Like any division of any publicly traded company, CNBC's ultimate measuring stick is its bottom line, information not broken out publicly by Comcast (CNBC's owner until the spin-off of NBCUniversal's cable assets). Enough to say it has long been a remarkably profitable operation. And CNBC's numbers under conventional TV metrics are certainly up with the flood of attention to the ups and downs of the new Trump tariff regime: the network's April 2025 numbers with the ""demo"" audience (adults 25-54) are better than at any time since the pandemic, ranking among tops in all cable networks during CNBC's ""Business Day,"" and its digital numbers are similarly stellar. But even in the absolute best of times for CNBC viewing, it's audience size pales compared to ratings gold like live sports. CNBC is really all about who watches, not simply how many. In my CNBC days we did a lot of proprietary research about the ""quality"" of the CNBC audience, and today CNBC prides itself as being the ""top business news TV network for reaching Business Decision Makers, C-Level Executives, Financial Investors, Household Financial Decision Makers, and Ultra Affluents."" Advertisers crave reaching those folks and super-serving that audience in times of fiscal crisis both help define CNBC's brand at the same time it creates operating challenges. Preparing for ""war"" Covering real wars is expensive. I recall the story from a former President of NBC News who told me how on the eve of the first Gulf War he had to pitch Jack Welch - GE owned NBC at the time - for an emergency funding increase of $30 million to cover the war. Welch signed off. But luckily for CNBC, its ""war"" budget is baked in. As CNBC's Sullivan told me ""CNBC lives for moments like this...we were built for it."" CNBC has constructed over many years an ongoing stable of full-time CNBC talent well-versed in the markets as well as a broad and deep array of outside market experts that it calls on every day, not just when the financial alarm bells sound. If you're a CNBC viewer, you recognize the difference from typical ""newscasts."" Anchors aren't the equivalent of British ""news readers"" but are expected to add probing questions to interviews with contributors and guests. Day to day stress of financial market ""war correspondents"" Both Sullivan and Liesman described an elevated ""buzz"" in the CNBC newsroom at times like this. Liesman described it as ""an exciting, interesting time, but also a tenuous and nervous time"" given what is at stake for U.S. consumers and the world economy. Liesman noted that at these times of financial peril, ""a lot of reporters want to tell the great story - [maybe] Liesman described a series of conversations with experts in the arcane world of ""financial plumbing"" - the technological mechanics that let you electronically direct deposit your check and then go to an ATM to get cash. Liesman hasn't determined that there is any real crisis with these global financial workings - at least not yet - and noted ""if this stuff gets to air, we're really in trouble."" But you've got to do a lot of homework to even make that determination. CNBC's reporters like Liesman are constantly on the hunt for whatever added information may illuminate market disruptions, including sources rarely on the day to day radar screen like daily fluctuations of the U.S. dollar. But unlike shooting war correspondents, those who cover the financial markets get to go home at the end of the day and sleep in their own beds. In fact, Liesman described a strange dynamic where ""you feel you're not sure you should be relaxing and taking time off - you could be missing things that might be important and there are a hundred things you could have been doing that you didn't get to."" And of course, there's the need to understand and report on any unexpected and game-changing social media post from the White House. That's something Edward R. Murrow never had to worry about. Telling the story to quite different audiences CNBC always appeals to hard-core market watchers, but market turbulence like this draws in waves of more casual or even first-time viewers. As Sullivan pointed out to me: ""We have to be inclusive in the journey of how we tell the story. Not taking away from the seriousness of the situation but in a way that serves all of the audience."" Liesman thoughtfully laid out the challenge of serving audiences with varied levels of expertise of their own: ""You have to play your natural game - none of us are actors and you can't change on the fly to reach different audiences. On the other hand, I think the most important part of my job is to explain complicated stuff to people and that demands time and attention on its own."" As Sullivan points out, the development of digital products such as the new CNBC+ - what else would it be called? - has changed the coverage game as well. CNBC has ""a lot more tools in the tool shed"" to serve multiple audience types, being able to dive deeply into specialized market sectors and geographies that might not warrant time on-air. And that of course is the future for all of news media - delivering content across many platforms as audiences get more sophisticated about where, when, and how they want to consume the stories that will shape their lives.",36.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,56287_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Membership clubs are booming expanding beyond the traditional country club. From dinner clubs, tennis clubs to wellness clubs- many metropolitan cities have seen a rise in super niche communities in the last few years. Proper Hospitality has taken note launching the Proper Club where it's intersecting wellness, fitness, longevity, co-working, entertainment and community. The membership extends the ethos to wellness and community-making longevity, creativity, and connection part of everyday life. Proper Club is the group's answer to what the modern wellness and lifestyle experience should feel like -- effortless, elevated, and deeply integrated into real life. ""We believe that wellness isn't a one-size-fits-all prescription or a passing trend -- it's a way of living. And Proper Club is the next evolution of that belief. It's not a wellness retreat or a gym -- it's a fully realized lifestyle offering that combines movement, recovery, longevity practices, social connection, and learning in a beautifully designed, culturally vibrant space. We have long envisioned our hotels as reflections of the way we live -- creative, connected, and grounded in health. As our own routines began to include daily practices like cold plunging, sauna, and mobility work, it became clear there was an opportunity to reimagine what a wellness club could be. Community and wellness are key pillars of our brand, so it was a natural progression to launch a membership component to Proper where these elements intersect. We love that locals can now enjoy their wellness, fitness, & social all in one place where design meets community and good energy,"" shared Brian De Lowe, Co-Founder and President of Proper Hospitality The Proper saw a growing desire for something deeper, a place where people could feel connected, stay curious, and invest in their own vitality in an environment that inspires. It's for people who want more than a treadmill and a green juice. They want to train, recover, connect, learn, and live well, without giving up great food, cultural energy, or aesthetics. Over the last few years, the team has noticed guests weren't just visiting, they were staying for weeks, even months, and they didn't want to leave behind the wellness rituals they'd developed while staying at the property. At the same time, locals were asking for more consistent access to the spaces, energy, and amenities they loved at Proper, even when they weren't checking in. This membership brings together the best of all worlds: access to science-backed longevity tools, personalized wellness programming, beautifully curated environments, and an authentic sense of community. You can have a breath work session in the morning, work from a sunlit rooftop lounge, cold plunge at lunch, then meet friends for a natural wine tasting downstairs. In addition to wellness, members can indulge in cultural programming such as live music, panel conversations, and culinary experiences. ""Building community is the secret sauce of any successful membership program. While the amenities and ambience will inspire interest, it's truly the relationships individuals build with one another and with our team that create longevity,"" explained Jamie Mark, Vice President, Membership & Community Development. ""Our current founding members are our biggest advocates, and our membership has grown almost entirely through referrals. Our program is intimate -- we've spent time getting to know every prospective member before their acceptance. We're obsessed with feedback and are nimble enough to adjust and evolve based on what our members want, while also introducing them to new experiences."" The membership highlights wellness which includes daily use of the Club Lounge & Terrace featuring private showers, cold plunges, and a dry sauna, private 60-minute Recovery Room session per month, one private 25-minute Ammortal sessions and a homemade Ayurvedic welcome lunch at Surya Spa; fitness which includes daily the state-of-the-art fitness facilities, 13+ fitness and wellness classes each week, one private training session and monthly classes at each of the following neighboring studios: Barry's, BodyROK Pilates, Sweat Yoga and Studio Elevate; community which includes monthly and weekly curated community events like tennis at Sunset Tennis Club, music events, supper and breakfast clubs.

We blend ancient wisdom with cutting-edge technology -- from Surya Spa's Ayurvedic treatments like Panchakarma and Martha's pulse readings to modern medical assessments, including blood work analysis and performance-enhancing technologies such as red light therapy and the Ammortal chamber,"" added Mark. The Proper has been choosing partners to complement the membership based on community feedback. ""We seek partners that truly enhance our member experience. Our members are wellness-savvy and discerning, so we carefully select innovative, first-to-market brands that align with Proper's values, as well as beloved Santa Monica neighbors that are already part of our members' regular routines,"" Mark explained. ""We're obsessed with feedback. We engage with members daily, host monthly breakfast conversations to gather insights, and use targeted surveys to evaluate new offerings and shape what comes next. This ongoing dialogue ensures our partnerships remain relevant and valuable to the people who matter most. Some of our partners include Barry's, Sweat Yoga, Sunset Tennis Club, PVolve, and Alo. We partner with like-minded brands so that our members have a robust and eclectic offering."" Casey Dolkas, Vice President, Activations & Experiences, added how bringing together the community through events and meaningful interactions in addition to all the wellness amenities is what the Proper Club prides itself on, ""We pride ourselves on a dynamic offering of cultural programming that covers health/wellness/fitness, live music, culinary classes, panel conversations. From music events with Anderson.Paak, Neil Frances, and BANKS to panel conversations with Deadline and Frieze, to culinary tastings with Quintessa Wines and Lalo Tequila to intimate experiences with Surya Spa. We choose to work with like-minded partners & talent that will bring our members together to enjoy and discover."" Members will be able to book and sign up for treatments and classes as well as access discounts, perks and benefits through their member portal. A concierge member phone number is also available to assist with anything needed. Currently the Proper Club membership is available in Santa Monica and Austin. While the amenities differ slightly at both spaces, members can expect the same discounts on rooms and food and beverage, as well as recovery room access and state-of-the-art fitness centers. Two-thirds of the members thus far are female and on average members spend three to five days a week at the Proper. The Club has offered members a third place where they can feel like they belong while having all the conveniences they need in their everyday life. As Americans have faced more isolation and ""third place"" closures since the pandemic, finding a consistent place to socialize, work and play has a positive impact on health and well being. Kate Price, founder and creative director of Kate Rose Fine Jewelry, has been able to utilize the Club not just for wellness and community but as an entrepreneur, ""Proper Club strikes that rare balance between elevated and inviting. It's polished but never stuffy, the kind of place where meaningful conversations just happen more easily. Because my work is so personal, I need a space where clients feel instantly at ease, and Proper always sets the right tone. The other day, the sun was out and you could see the ocean from the rooftop. A couple flew in from Portland to design an engagement ring, and we tucked into a cozy alcove upstairs. The setting made them feel comfortable right away, and it created space for a deeper connection. It was one of those moments that reminded me how much the right environment matters."" As travel and lifestyle continue to blend, Proper is intentionally evolving into a platform for how to live, not just where to stay. Proper Club is a powerful expression of that idea. Most wellness clubs feel either clinical or overly aspirational. Proper Club is designed to feel lived-in, vibey, and inspiring -- an extension of the Proper experience. You don't have to choose between health and culture, recovery and nightlife, science and style. ""At Proper Club, it all coexists. We see wellness as a major driving force in hospitality. As we expand our membership program, health optimization and premium wellness amenities will be central to our offerings and guide the creation of our new spaces,"" shared De Lowe. ""This approach reflects both current desires of our customers and our long-term vision for the Proper experience.""

Music mogul Sean Combs, who, according to his criminal indictment is also known as ""Puff Daddy,"" ""P.Diddy"", ""Diddy,"" ""PD"" and most curiously, considering the charges being brought against him, ""Love"" is now on trial for a wide variety of crimes including kidnapping, sex trafficking, prostitution and drug offenses, but the cornerstone of the charges is a RICO charge for operating a criminal enterprise. The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is Title IX of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970 and was enacted as a tool to fight organized crime, where it was successfully used to prosecute leaders of New York's five organized crime families. However, since that time, the law has been used to prosecute insider trading, principals in the college admissions cheating scandal and most notably in relation to the charges against Combs, Nxvium sex cult founder Keith Raniere and R&B musician R. Kelly. R. Kelly was convicted of RICO charges that he led a criminal enterprise of his bodyguards, accountants, drivers, personal assistants and others who recruited women and underage girls to engage in illegal sexual activity with him. To prove a violation of RICO, prosecutors must prove that someone engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity connected to an ongoing criminal enterprise. The law requires proof that an enterprise existed and that a defendant committed at least two underlying criminal acts within a 10-year period; these offenses can range from murder and assault to extortion and money laundering. In this case Combs is charged with operating what prosecutors have called the ""Combs Enterprise"" between 2004 and 2024. According to the indictment, ""For decades Sean Combs... abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct. To do so Combs relied on the employees, resources, and influence of the multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled - creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice."" Sex trafficking charges generally are limited for prosecution by a ten year statute of limitation, however when, as in this case the alleged crimes are part of an alleged continuing criminal enterprise the statute of limitations is extended such that the statute of limitations does not start to run until the last criminal act in the pattern of racketeering occurs, such that since some of the alleged acts occurred in 2024, prosecutors can include charges related to acts going back as far as 2009. Specifically the indictment alleges that Combs' sexual abuse of women included causing them to engage in frequent, days-long sexual activity with male prostitutes. According to the indictment, ""These events were referred to as ""Freak Offs"" by Combs and consisted of elaborate sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, and often electronically recorded. To ensure participation in Freak Offs, Combs used violence and intimidation and leveraged his power over victims - power he obtained through obtaining and distributing narcotics to them, exploiting his financial support to them and threatening to cut off the same and controlling their careers. Combs also threatened his victims, including by threatening to expose the embarrassing and sensitive recordings he made of Freak Offs if the women did not comply with his demands. Combs' effort to control women included repeated physical abuse. Combs assaulted women, by among other things, striking, punching, dragging, throwing objects at, and kicking them. Combs similarly assaulted witnesses to his abuse."" In a pretrial hearing on April 25defense lawyers indicated that they will be using the defense that all of the alleged sexual acts were consensual acts by former long-term girlfriends of Combs and that they could be defined as ""swinging"" where singles or partners in relationships engage in non-monogamous sexual behavior. If convicted of the RICO charge, Combs faces a maximum penalty of life in prison. Combs was offered a plea bargain by which in exchange for pleading guilty he would receive a reduced prison sentence which he rejected in open court at his last pretrial hearing during which no specific terms of the plea bargain were indicated",27.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,69039_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. This summer, you will believe a man can fly again. And again. And again. Superman returns to the big screen on July 11th this summer in writer-director (and DC Studios co-CEO) James Gunn's reboot that will define DC's future on the big screen. Gunn's film is Superman's eighth solo feature film and the character's twelfth live-action movie appearance, counting 1951's hour-long Superman and the Mole Men starring George Reeves in what was essentially a low-budget cinematic pilot launching The Adventures of Superman TV series a year later. Reeves' Superman was actually quite faithful to the depiction and persona in the early Superman comic strips, while his Clark was less cowardly and more of an intrepid reporter like Lois - they competed, and it was part of their friendly repertoire. The 1978 one that started it all, Superman: The Movie, offered a comics-accurate adaptation of the character in all of his earnest corny charm. Christopher Reeve was born to the play the role if anyone was, making Clark Kent and his costumed alter ego two distinct performances that could've been played by different actors. Reeve's Clark put on a bumbling and cowardly display, in line with much of the early comic strip stories, but only gradually incorporated more of the investigative reporter elements. Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor is an evil mad scientist with plans for destruction and domination, armed with Kryptonite and a subterranean lair shared. Superman stops crime, saves people from disasters, rescues kittens from trees, and demonstrates all of his famous powers in what were then eye-popping visual effects promoted as making you believe a man could fly. And in 1978, it did. Superman II continued the approach of the first film, with superhuman villains threatening the world and Lex Luthor once again with his grubby fingers in the mix. Superman, however, is feeling disenchanted with his role as Earth's protector at the expense of his own personal happiness - namely, a love life with Lois Lane. The extended fight sequence in the middle of Metropolis offered even more dramatic action spectacle than the first film, and firmly established superhero cinema as a modern force to be reconned with. But Superman III, for all of its charm - and there's much charm to be found, from Reeve's never less than 100% effort and performance to one of the coolest scenes in any Superman movie when Clark Kent does battle with his own cape-wearing identity. Still, the plot and production values were weak and the film relied heavily on camp and a comedic turn by Richard Pryor. Superman IV was the worst of the bunch, by a wide margin. Terrible visual effects, bad plot, ridiculous villain, a cast who mostly sleepwalk through their roles - with the exception again of Reeve, who commits to the role fully and sells the themes about disarmament even while the movie falls apart around him. Superman Returns was a worthy if flawed sequel to the first two Superman films, ignoring the third and fourth movie completely. Brandon Routh was a great Superman and could've made the role his own if given the time. Alas, the film's choice not to have Superman fight anybody, the love triangle and dominance of relationship drama, and the addition of a son were controversial choices among different corners of the audience and fandom. Routh's Clark and Superman were treated as mostly the same person, frankly, and Clark had only a few hints of Reeve's more comically bumbling persona, yet also lacked any notable distinctions as a character from his costumed alias. So it was that after five films across 28 years, Superman's next appearance would finally be a reboot for new generations. Man of Steel in 2013 introduced a very different type of Superman in Henry Cavill, with a grounded deconstructive approach similar to the popular billion dollar Dark Knight Batman trilogy from director Christopher Nolan. Nolan's ""grandfathering"" of Man of Steel and David Goyer's script brought the same sensibilities the pair brought to Batman Begins, and combined with Zack Snyder's directing it established a mythic scale and counterpoint to Marvel Studio's MCU approach (which had just scored $1.5 billion with The Avengers a year prior). The desaturated colors, somber tone, and questioning of Superman's place in the world - indeed, questioning whether humanity deserves him or is ready for him - were unexpected approaches and combinations at a time when Marvel's more mainstream and colorful, family-friendly approach had made superhero cinema the dominant force at the box office. Still, Man of Steel shared a great deal in common with Superman and Superman II. The origin story begins on Krypton and brings Kal-El to Earth, young Clark sets off in the world to find his purpose, and he discovers his origins via hologram of his father in a Kryptonian structure in the Arctic, all mirroring the 1978 film. Then comes the arrival of General Zod and his two primary compatriots - a warrior woman and a silent hulking brute - who do battle with Superman around the city, causing much destruction and threatening the life of Lois Lane and her Daily Planet coworkers. Now add in Superman losing his powers temporarily when Zod's crew first arrives and needing to regain his powers via help from his father, Superman's flight high over Earth as he zooms toward the camera, and a few other homages. (Maybe even at least consider that the theatrical version of Superman II seemed to suggest Superman killed Zod, Ursa, and Non, dropping them down into the freezing shafts of his Fortress of Solitude and then seen flying away with Lois in his arms. Deleted footage showed the trio of villains taken into custody. Interestingly, the theatrical film also implied Superman left Lex Luthor stranded in the Arctic as well.) Cavill's Clark was an interesting throwback to George Reeves' intrepid reporter, lacking the bumbling personality and other aspects that perhaps drew more attention to Clark than if he just acted like a regular guy who was trying to be good at his job - few people would expect Superman to spend most of his life wearing glasses and a suit so that he could be a newspaper reporter of no notable personal distinction other than good local reporting. It's actually maybe the smartest play. So Man of Steel was at once a nod to everything audiences generally knew and had seen from Superman on the big screen, but all of it modernized and made more serious, with upgraded visual effects to turn every super-powered event into an operatic and often destructive force. Viewers mostly liked or loved it, contrary to how its reputation is perceived these days - it earned an A- Cinemascore from audiences, and while considered ""Rotten"" by site standards it still enjoys majority-positive reviews from critics at 57%. Whatever flaws it had, it seemed audiences were intrigued enough and entertained enough to want to see more of this new Superman. Again, the proximity to The Dark Knight Trilogy and some of the same creative team members created the sense we could get a Superman trilogy comparable to the magic they worked with Batman. Instead of standalone Superman movies like Nolan's Batman series, however, Man of Steel quickly evolved into a shared-universe setup. The most obvious choice, and one not just rumored but indeed investigated by Warner at the time, was to use The Dark Knight series and Man of Steel as part of the same new DC shared universe of films. But Nolan balked, and the studio agreed to honor a promise not to use his Batman again. With a new Caped Crusader installed, Man of Steel's sequel became 2016's Batman v Superman. And now the deconstruction dominated the proceedings, something many of us loved but which most audiences felt was just too much too fast. Superman's death at the end of the film, after only his second cinematic appearance, was a big surprise and upset many fans. Superman's entire purpose was questioned in the film, not just by society and by other heroes like Batman (who sought to literally murder Superman), but even by Lois Lane and ultimately Superman himself. Notice that this is one of the few films - Superman III being the other - in which the character's life and work as Clark gets as much attention and screen time (and is more important to the story, if you think about it) than his costumed heroics and battles. While Batman v Superman scored $874 million at the worldwide box office, it was short of the $1 billion threshold Warner Bros. was chasing and shy of the roughly $900 million that would've been enough to avoid panic and to make more modest course-corrections. Instead, leadership already convinced nobody cared about Superman (because they didn't, apparently) wanted to veer even further away from the original plans and sequels, upending a planned Justice League trilogy of team-up films at the first signs of box office trouble. But the trouble started before Batman v Superman was even released, because the same leadership reacting so badly to the film's results were the ones who demanded cuts to reduce Superman's screen time and gutting the emotional and informational reasons for the film's central conflict. The extended version of the film reveals how much Superman's own arc and story were gutted, and how much the reasoning for society's backlash against him took place. The next time Cavill's Superman appeared on screen in the DCEU was the Frankenstein's monster of Justice League in 2017, a box office failure that was the beginning of the end for the shared DC universe, even though most people didn't fully realize it at the time. Only Aquaman with a fantastic $1 billion run managed to avoid the curse, as the next nine DCEU films in a row each grossed less than $450 million worldwide - indeed, six of them grossed less than $300 million, so bad was the mainstream worldwide rejection. Theatrical Justice League's Superman starts out dead, wakes up crazy and attacks the other superheroes, and flies away with Lois for several hours and hangs out in some nice romantic scenes and hugs his mom while the other superheroes are desperately trying to find the space-demon who is about to destroy Earth and enslave the universe. Then he shows up at the climactic battle just in time to save the day. But at no point is there any difference between who he is when he's wearing burial clothes, farm clothes, or a super-suit. Clark and Superman aren't treated differently, except that Clark is ""dead"" in a small obituary in the newspaper and his resurrection will be harder to explain to the world than Superman's. Clark starts out being the same guy he is as Superman in Man of Steel, then Clark evolves into a reporter whose work is most central to his role and arc in Batman v Superman, and then Clark is gone in Justice League... or is it Superman who's gone, since we're back to the man he was in Man of Steel in those regards? He's just himself both in and out of the suit. Except both were dead, and now only ""Superman"" was resurrected by his costumed peers to fight to save the planet. It's confusing, right? Maybe it should be, maybe that's part of the point about deconstructing costumed heroes with secret identities, or without them, or somewhere in between. Those are themes and questions the theatrical version doesn't remotely seem interested in exploring or reflecting, even though we can feel it baked somewhere deep into the ideas of this story. Where did they go? The answer didn't take long to arrive. Zack Snyder's Justice League - released on HBO Max in 2021, after the studio repeatedly insisted it didn't exist and/or would never be released - showed us what might've been, if the studio had delayed release and let the filmmaker return to complete his project. Ironically, if after Aquaman's billion dollar success we'd gotten a two-part Justice League cinematic ""event"" that basically split Snyder's version of the film into two two-hour parts generating at least $1 billion combined, then the DCEU's reputation would've been much better and might've sustained itself. And who knows, maybe in that scenario, James Gunn writes his Superman screenplay but as a reunion with Snyder (they teamed on 2004's Dawn of the Dead) in a Man of Steel sequel. Coulda-woulda-shoulda aside, the point is Superman felt flat in the theatrical Justice League and sported laughably bad CGI to cover up his mustache, but he soared and redeemed the entire DCEU in ZSJL. He was a redemptive and inspiring character, a symbol of hope even to Batman. Clark was indeed back to the man he'd been in Man of Steel, except wiser and now sure of the man he both wanted and needed to be, as his father and mother always told him. His arc wasn't treated as an afterthought to a Batman-focused team-up. This was the Superman Cavill was supposed to be, meant to become, planned even, but the studio just never could wrap their heads around it. And as tragic as that is, whatever caused the collapse of public trust in DC cinema, the result is the same. There just wasn't enough interest anymore from mainstream moviegoers to risk hundreds of millions of more dollars to try to course-correct again with a DCEU far removed from its origins and struggling for direction and tone. After Snyder's departure, no oversight of the DCEU ever had a chance to get set up and deliver its plan. Everything was in flux, leadership changed, and things were too far gone by the end to hope to revive them if that revival counted on audiences showing up and trusting the DCEU after nine straight years of obvious rejection. Superman himself needed a reintroduction to the public. And now, he's getting one. Tasked with building a new cinematic DC, Gunn and his co-CEO partner Peter Safran came up with a game plan that kicks off the new live-action big-screen DCU with this summer's Superman, starring David Corenswet looking every bit a worthy successor. James Gunn's Superman is a clear return to the tone and style of the Christopher Reeve era in many ways, but modernized and with an idealized Metropolis akin to Superman Returns (the only Superman movie that made Metropolis feel like a unique place with a personality and ""look""). But it also clearly mirrors certain elements of the DCEU as well, and in fact carries over some characters and story arcs that will overlap both the DCEU and new DCU. Indeed, the trailer and much of what the story is doing seems like it wouldn't take much to imagine this as a soft sequel to Man of Steel and the aftermath of Zack Snyder's Justice League - including thematically suggesting heroes need to try to be heroic, not always so antiheroic as became perhaps too popular across the genre to some degree, and to embrace their status as role-models and inspirations by appealing to humanity's better nature and presenting themselves in positive redemptive ways. Which is to say, Gunn is in the envious position of having plenty of different approaches to look at and figure out what worked, what didn't work, and how to cherrypick the best perspectives and approaches and influences to create something new and yet honoring the legacy of what came before. It's no surprise this film's original working title was Superman: Legacy. Let's break down some of the key choices Gunn makes. The comparisons to the first two Reeve films are obvious, in the return of the trunks and the Fortress of Solitude's appearance, as well as some more overt sense of humor and bright colorful embrace of the superhero comic book inspirations. There's also what looks like a somewhat more awkward persona for Clark again, too. The 1978 Superman film established the template that's been used pretty consistently for most of the successful superhero movies, and in particular Marvel's MCU found tremendous success by precisely emulating and merely modernizing the same template originated in Superman. So for those who felt the DCU needed to pay more attention to what makes Marvel's films so consistently popular and successful, it's notable that the MCU got its own approach from Superman, and that Gunn seems to be returning to a strong application of that same approach again. But Gunn knows DC is not Marvel, and one of the reasons I felt immediately comfortable with Gunn running the creative show for DC is because of the Gods and Monsters framing of his plans to reboot these films. DC uses the characters and their personal stories to talk about the larger mythic stories and themes, whereas Marvel uses the larger mythic stories and themes as frameworks to tell and examine personal stories. It's a slight shift in perspective, like the way Superman/Clark suggests the ""nerd"" or ordinary person is secretly super-powered but Spider-Man/Peter suggests the super-powered person is really secretly just a nerdy ordinary person. Gunn's previous DC work in Suicide Squad and Peacemaker, combined with his Guardians of the Galaxy movies for Marvel (which are among the superhero movies that speak most to me on a deeply personal level) have already demonstrated how well he understands the differences in perspectives and themes and storytelling between DC and Marvel, and that he can apply the superhero cinematic template exactly the right way for the right characters and story - he's batting a thousand as far as I'm concerned. The inclusion of Krypton is going to prove pivotal to why Superman will probably be a big hit and earn at least in the neighborhood of $700-800 million, in my too-early guesstimate. Families will turn out this time, and if the film is as good as the trailers suggest and hits that tone just right as I suspect Gunn will do (again, as he always does), the word of mouth will be relief and joy, and audiences will reward it. There's every reason for it to succeed, when looked at this way. On the other hand, I have to be honest that there is another way to look at it. Here is where I find myself worried. Gunn isn't stepping into pre-existing superhero worlds with blockbuster branding to tell these stories, as he did with Guardians and Suicided Squad. He's starting one from scratch, and has to build atop the previous failures without much room for error. DC also previously tried to jumpstart their big-screen plans by leapfrogging to a pre-existing superhero world - they started with a solo Superman movie, even. And they did it alongside everyone's memories of a separate grounded blockbuster Batman franchise. Even the trailers for Superman have echos of the Man of Steel and Batman v Superman trailers, including starting with Superman falling out of the sky into a desolate Arctic area. There's the darker and dirty costume, there are protests against him, there are a bunch of other superhero cameos fighting a big monster destroying a city, there's an alien spaceship over the city. It all looks different and also the same, which is probably the intent. Win over those who loved what came before, show those who disliked what came before a version of ""this is what it should've done, right?"" And for anyone who sat it out, give them a new entry point that might finally mix enough of the right ingredients to win them over - including Marvel fans, which is everybody basically these days due to the MCU. Part of my concern is, we're still only a couple of years from the last DCEU movie, and I don't know that the sour taste in mainstream audiences' mouths has faded enough yet. Part of me believes the smartest move would've been to make Matt Reeves' The Batman series the fast-track priority and hold back Superman a couple of more years, so Batman could revive enthusiasm for DC properties again and Marvel will have done the heavy lifting of getting Hollywood over the genre's sluggish performance lately. That's all without the issue of Superman having to release in competition with Marvel's Fantastic Four: First Steps just two weeks later. Man of Steel at least gave Iron Man 3 a month of distance. So my gut would've made me consider this scenario instead: release The Batman Part II in 2026, then follow up with Superman in 2027 (and hey, with that already filmed and ready, they'd also have Supergirl and probably another project ready to go, so they'd be way ahead of the curve and better able to do softer course-corrections as events unfold). Since that scenario keeps DC out of cinemas for too long, however, in this case I'd probably also have begged Matt Reeves to edit The Penguin series into two 2-hour 45-minute feature films - Part 1 and Part 2, released at Halloween and Christmas in 2024 - and include a couple of cameos of Batman, even just a stuntman in the costume if necessary and maybe reuse some clips of Bruce Wayne and Batman from the events of The Batman film. I keep bringing up what-if scenarios to demonstrate how and why DC cinema got to where it is, including potential good alternatives that might have existed along the way. Because none of those things happened of course, and whatever my own gut would've told me to do in similar situations, the people now running DC Studios made billions of dollars making movies and have access to far more information than I do, obviously. We are here, and despite any other possible outcomes and choices, the fact is Superman looks like exactly the movie Superman and DC needed, at the time it needed it, regardless of how it had to get here. But is it the movie audiences want right now? The stakes couldn't be higher, not only for DC and Warner as corporations, but also for Superman and for Gunn. If Superman is perceived as a failure or underperforms, I strongly suspect WBD will pivot to prioritizing The Batman and developing out that world while putting the rest of the DCU plans on hold, aside from finishing projects already in development that cost more to shutter than finish. They can't just wait to see how Supergirl performs while also investing hundreds of millions more dollars into plans that just stumbled out the gate yet again, so soon after the DCEU's failure. They'll have to make big choices if Superman isn't a blockbuster success. My guess (again, this and 10 bucks gets you a cup of coffee - inflation strikes again) is that if Superman fails to launch, then Gunn and Safran will need to find a way to convince Matt Reeves to develop the larger Batman world - Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, and so on - faster and with more hands on deck (like with The Penguin series) over the next five years. Then, they could use that larger world of streaming series and films to push boundaries of grounded realism a bit, while changing their own DCU plans to incorporate them into the expanded DC world Reeves has built around Batman. Think back to my point about using The Penguin as feature films, and why that would've been worth considering in an alternate scenario for DC Studios' plans. You think two Penguin movies that good, tied into a blockbuster Batman franchise, with a budget per film of about $50 million, wouldn't have turned a tremendous profit? Maybe earned Colin Farrell an Oscar nod? And at the box office, even if they performed as weakly as Joker: Folie à Deux, that's good for at least $400 million and probably considerably more, considering the popularity and widespread acclaim for The Penguin. Put the Arkham Asylum project into development again, and the Gotham PD series. Easy choices to make, and there's the Clayface movie that would need to be rolled into the Batman franchise universe as well. Meanwhile, use the script for The Batman Part II and plans for future films to develop a Batgirl movie spinoff and get into production in 2026 to announce it as part of the promotion for Part II. See how quickly and easily it can be to pivot to the safer bat-bet, and meanwhile use existing plans to merely lay groundwork for a relaunch within the context of Reeves' Batman world? It's even possible that, after such a pivot, Gunn and Safran could simply restart their existing plans with mere tweaks to utilize the popularity of the branding created around The Batman universe. It's the opportunity that WB and DC will have had but rejected twice in a row (by ending Nolan's Batman, and by not building a DCU around Reeves' plans at the start), so any negative outcome this summer will present a ""third time's the charm"" opportunity. I'd guess the studio takes it in that situation, since at the very least it's the closest thing to a sure bet they've got with anything from DC (especially in a scenario where their best effort with Superman doesn't work). But notice, it doesn't preclude still also using the existing future plans for the DCU and for The Batman series. In fact, if Superman doesn't do well enough, there's still a chance to pivot the marketing around Supergirl as the plans to pivot toward Reeves' bat-world develop and take shape. In this worst-case scenario for Superman and DC Studios' current plans, Supergirl could even hypothetically be delayed to 2027, until The Batman Part II can reset public sentiment again and the announcements of other Batman projects sets the stage for a rebranded Supergirl film released with that new messaging and marketing. Use The Batman Part II to heavily trumpet Supergirl and get fans to show up, spread the word, and make the film a success. What's clear to me is that, if Superman is a blockbuster hit, then DC and WB are sitting pretty with the likelihood of a lot more success ahead from both the DCU and the standalone The Batman franchise. But what's also clear is that, however things turn out, I think DC will have good options for what comes next. If Superman is only a moderate success instead of a big hit, then things can still continue as planned with Supergirl and more projects to help further boost the DCU and add turn that moderate success into a healthy foundation for greater success, while The Batman sequels still deliver their own rewards. And if Superman is a disappointment, then The Batman series can take over fairly quickly as the center of gravity for DC plans, as noted, and existing plans can be adjusted to fit things together. It isn't hard for Batman's own movies and world to be more grounded, while his crossover with other DC heroes let him play in more fantastical stories. The comics work fine that way, and I bet the overwhelming majority of audiences would've been not just fine with but actually thoroughly thrilled by seeing The Dark Knight world overlap with Man of Steel. I'd argue that in fact, Batman Begins could've easily stood alongside Wonder Woman and a version of Man of Steel that looked closer to Gunn's Superman visually and tonally, and audiences would've loved it. Whatever my concerns about Superman's obstacles, I think my faith in Gunn's filmmaking combined with my faith in Reeves' filmmaking leads me to conclude that Gunn sees the crucial difference right now between his situation and where things stood in 2013 with Nolan's Batman and the desire to build a shared world with Man of Steel is that Nolan's Batman had just concluded, while Reeves' Batman is just beginning. Gunn knows he can launch his Superman and see whether or not he needs to build around Batman or not, without fear of losing that Batman altogether in the first place. Which allows the studio to go all-in on Superman, as they seem to be smartly doing. Supergirl likewise has a backup path to success, and thus is in a comfortable spot. Not that anybody wants anything to go wrong, but if things do, then the studio won't face impossible choices and lost opportunities while lacking any backup plans. There's always even the outlier option of using the delay as an excuse to license DCEU properties - meaning specific existing scripts and plans, for a specific set of films within the context of the DCEU, including a solo Batman project and a couple of Justice League sequels, as well as a Wonder Woman sequel and the Batgirl movie - to Netflix or Apple (indeed, Apple has deep pockets to pay well for licensing such major properties for a set of streaming-exclusive superhero movie releases) for animated movies appealing to fans of the Snyderverse. Why not? It's free money, someone else does all the work, and you know there's a built-in audience and another streamer would pay handsomely. Throw in exclusive rights to stream the DCEU collection of films to that same streamer, and in the event the DCU plans have to be postponed while The Batman builds out a new world, this licensing idea is a good option to keep generating revenue for DC and find ways to engage audiences where they are, until the feature film plans get back on track again. I say that partly to poke those who claim licensing such content is somehow not possible, but mostly it's to say there are plenty of good options even in the unlikely event Gunn's and Safran's plans don't work out with Superman. Instead of the potential chaos and ""break the company up and sell it"" fears that might seem obvious in such a situation, I think this all spells out how smartly positioned the studio is right now, and why they don't feel a need to rush projects or announcements or plans. Superman lives, and this summer he intends to give us all a reason to look up again.",39.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,27998_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Turkey has reportedly mulled transferring its strategic, Russian-made S-400 Triumf air defense missile systems to Syria. Such a move may be a gambit to regain authorization to buy American F-35 stealth strike fighters. However, doing so could risk igniting a crisis with Israel. In coordination with the new Syrian government of President Ahmed al-Sharaa, Turkey recently scoped out airbases in central Syria to deploy drones and air defenses. Israel expressed its opposition by bombing those same bases. Israel and Turkey are now negotiating a deconfliction mechanism to avoid potential accidents or clashes. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has already warned about Israeli and Turkish fighter jets encountering each other in Syrian airspace, emphasizing the necessity and urgency for deconfliction. Turkey reportedly plans on establishing a multilayered air defense around the central Syrian T4, or Tiyas, airbase. These would initially consist of short- to medium-range Turkish Hisar systems but could include a deployment of the S-400. Israel would undoubtedly view any deployment of the latter as provocative, as would the United States. In a recent letter to the State Department, Representatives Brad Schneider and Gus Bilirakis sought to emphasize the dangers of any Turkish deployment of the system to Syria. They highlighted the S-400's purported maximum range of 250 miles and ""anti-stealth detection"" capabilities, warning that its deployment could ""fundamentally alter the regional air defense landscape"" of the country. ""If positioned along Syria's western corridor, it could severely constrain Israeli operations against Iranian assets or Hezbollah supply routes,"" they wrote. ""This would degrade Israel's operational flexibility in the region and erode the technical basis of its qualitative edge that the United States has long worked to preserve."" The letter also touches upon who would ultimately control the systems in Syria. ""Moreover, ambiguity around system operators only adds fuel to the fire,"" Schneider and Bilirakis wrote. ""If Turkish personnel retain operational control, the risk of direct confrontation with Israeli forces becomes real. If Syrian or proxy forces take over, the U.S. loses even more visibility and influence, introducing a new layer of strategic instability into an already combustible environment."" Presumably, the systems would remain under the exclusive control of the Turkish military during any Turkish deployment at T4 or any other central Syrian airbase, much like Russia's S-400s in Syria did. On the other hand, there has been recent speculation in Turkish media that Ankara may ultimately donate the high-end systems to Damascus to have the F-35 ban lifted. The U.S. banned Turkey from the F-35 program in 2019 after Ankara acquired S-400s. Washington has maintained that Ankara must remove the systems from the country or dismantle them to end the ban. Others in Turkish media previously speculated that deploying the S-400s in Syria could resolve the issue. While any S-400 deployment would certainly raise eyebrows, transferring them to the Syrian military could prove much more provocative for Israel and may incur a preemptive attack. Russia has repeatedly stated that the end-user certificate for the Turkish S-400 doesn't permit Ankara to sell the system to a third country without explicit Russian consent. Moscow is eager to establish friendly ties with the new government in Damascus to retain access to its military bases on the Syrian coast but has refused Sharaa's request to extradite former President Bashar al-Assad. It's not inconceivable that Moscow may authorize a potential Turkish S-400 transfer to Sharaa, but it's probably not all that likely. Interestingly, Schneider and Bilirakis also argue in their letter that any S-400 transfer would not undo the triggering of sanctions under the CAATSA -- Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act -- legislation. After all, those sanctions were triggered by Turkey's $2.5 billion transaction with the Russian defense sector, and simply relocating the S-400s to another country six years later doesn't undo that transaction. While Russia deployed S-400s at its coastal airbase until Assad's regime collapsed in December 2024, Israel had a deconfliction mechanism in place by the time they were deployed in late 2015. Furthermore, Moscow seldom interfered with Israeli Air Force incursions against Iran-backed forces and weaponry across the country throughout the civil war. Therefore, Israel may view S-400s under the control of the new Syrian military as a much graver threat. Israeli airstrikes have already destroyed what was left of Assad's strategic military arsenal since the Syrian dictator fled to Moscow, including his Russian-built air defenses, to prevent other factions from acquiring them. Consequently, it would not sit idly by if Turkey supplied Damascus with a system more advanced than anything Assad could have even dreamed of having. The Republic of Cyprus sought to acquire Russian S-300PMU-1 systems in the 1990s to deter persistent Turkish overflights. The Cyprus S-300 crisis rapidly ensued when Ankara threatened a preemptive attack to destroy them once they arrived, fearful that those strategic missiles would undercut its overwhelming air superiority over that divided island. Eventually, a deal was worked out, and Greece received them instead, averting a potential war. A Syria S-400 crisis could occur if Damascus receives Turkey's Russian-built systems. The likelihood of a preemptive Israeli strike may even prove significantly higher than a Turkish strike in those days. It's probably more likely that if Turkey does transfer its S-400s to Damascus in tandem with a military deployment in the country's center, they would be Syrian in name only. That's precisely what happened with the ""Syrian"" S-300PMU-2 Russia deployed in 2018. Ostensibly delivered to modernize Syria's outdated air defenses in the face of Israeli airstrikes, the system remained under direct Russian military control until Moscow withdrew it in 2022 after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Turkey could similarly ""gift"" Syria its S-400s while its military retains exclusive access to and control over them. Either way, Syria's new military would require extensive training on how to operate and maintain that sophisticated system. Ankara may ultimately try to convince the Israelis during deconfliction talks that its S-400s will pose no more threat to them than Russia's did for almost a decade. Whatever ultimately happens, it's already clear that any movement of Turkey's S-400s over its southern border will be highly consequential.",36.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,63234_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Forecasters issued tornado warnings in central and eastern North Carolina as a “large and extremely dangerous” tornado damaged buildings.,25.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,36653_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Forecasters said that temperatures could feel more like 100 degrees in parts of New Jersey and New York City on Monday and into the mid and upper 90s for the rest of the region.,25.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,13762_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Forecasters warn of flash flooding from Florida to Virginia amid a slow-moving system that is expected to bring heavy rainfall through Wednesday.,25.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,New York Times API,en ,49187_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Forecasters warned that cities along the Louisiana coast could see heavy rainfall and a “dangerous” storm surge.

The survey, conducted by publisher HarperCollins and book data company Nielsen, also found that less than half of parents find reading to kids fun. With this in mind, we asked parents to share recommendations of books they enjoy reading aloud. Add your own suggestions to the list in the comments below. Eve Sutton and Lynley Dodd My Cat Likes to Hide in Boxes is fantastic for children who might not like sitting still for long. We started reading the story to my daughter from when she was about 18 months old. Each cat in the book does something the child can copy, from playing the violin to flying an aeroplane and getting stuck in a doorway. When she was four, my daughter had a pyjama party with some nursery friends for her birthday, and all the children loved joining in when we read it. Rebecca, Birmingham John Bond Mini Rabbit: Not Lost by John Bond was such a favourite for my first child when they were two. The character of Mini Rabbit jumps off the page, and makes it so easy to come up with an appropriate voice and rhythm that adds so much energy to the book. The final page sting, where Mini Rabbit has lost interest in the very thing he has been questing for is a perfect way to end the book and gets a laugh every time in its abruptness. Bond has given a real gift to parents who may struggle with comedic timing (often necessary in the funniest kids books) by making it flow so naturally from the writing and matching art style. He has also given my family many giggling fits over the years. Matthew, 39, Liverpool Benjamin Zephaniah and Nila Aye My daughter Iris, two, loves Nature Trail by Benjamin Zephaniah, illustrated by Nila Aye. It's about the wonderful world of gardens and green spaces, from creepy-crawlies to snails and owls, animals big and small. It appreciates the beauty of the everyday, and it rhymes. Even on my most tired nights, I can remember it by heart, and read it as the light dims. Miranda, 40, Newcastle upon Tyne Huw Aaron I'm a primary school teacher with two children under three at home. As a reception teacher I spend a lot of time reading children's books out loud. With my own children I like a book that is calm and gives me something as well as them. Sleep Tight, Disgusting Blob by Huw Aaron is my new favourite: Lovely, relaxed rhymes with a touch of sci-fi and horror thrown in. Children who can read or appreciate the pictures love the idea of a ""scary"" bedtime story, and those who can't, get the rhythm and time with a happy, giggling parent. Patrick Clark, Leeds Cressida Cowell The How to Train your Dragon books by Cressida Cowell get better and better for both the child and adult reader, and finish with the most perfect, satisfying ending. The characters are brilliant, especially Hiccup , the unlikely hero, and Toothless. It was my younger daughter who first got into them when she was five and we finished them when she was eight-and-a-half (about 24 hours after the last book was published). These books meant we kept reading together for longer than we might have done as even my older child, aged 11, was captivated. Kathy, East Lothian BJ Novak The Book With No Pictures is a great book to read aloud with kids aged about three to six. I've used it while teaching in a classroom and at bedtime with my son and it has always been a hit. The point of the book is that the adult reading is forced to read the words in the book ""no matter what"". Therefore, they are ""forced"" to say silly things such as: ""My head is made of blueberry pizza."" The more drama and faux-reluctance the reader can bring the better in my opinion! Helen Black, Hastings Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler The Gruffalo is by far one of the best books to be read aloud to children. It's such a dynamic read and as the parent you don't have to think about how you're going to get around it. It has been done for you. Just let yourself be carried by the words. I have probably read it more than 200 times and unlike other books, I'm still not tired of it and neither is my son. Clementine, 38, London Jonny Duddle I have two small children who are two and five. We found a book called The Pirates Next Door by Jonny Duddle and both of my children have separately fallen in love with it. The premise is that a pirate boy named Jim Lad and his family move next door to Matilda in a charming seaside town. Their strange ways annoy the neighbours - fixing their ship on the driveway, eating horrible food, turning up to school without uniform. They are nice but misunderstood, and Matilda makes friends with Jim. It's incredibly fun to read for parents as each neighbour has their own voice. Jack, 38, Clonakilty, Ireland Tao Nyeu Wonder Bear by Tao Nyeu might be a bit of an odd choice considering that it has no words. But as we found with our children when they were three and five, that is what made it so great. The first time I ""read"" it, they could see there wasn't any writing. They stared quizzically back and forth from the book to my face as they realised that I was making up the story. Each time we read it, which was often, I continued to hit on the primary narrative points that I had established from that first reading, but I added just a bit more here and there. There is enough going on in the beautiful illustrations to do so. The author cleverly includes enough connections between pages to carry a plot, but also leaves many possibilities for you to interpret and develop the story yourself.

In 2019, he was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges and later died in custody. Giuffre also accused Prince Andrew of abusing her, sharing a photo that showed her as a teenager posing with him and Epstein. Andrew denied her allegations and settled a lawsuit out of court. Giuffre had recently been in the news after she was in a car accident in Australia and posted a photo showing herself bruised and injured.

(AP) -- A consultant paid to review security at the official residence of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro after it was firebombed by a late-night intruder said Friday that his team's findings will not be made public. Retired state police Col. Jeffrey Miller said in a statement that the ""sensitive nature"" of the findings ""precludes their release to the public for obvious reasons."" The dangerous breakdown in protection has raised questions about how the intruder was able to elude state police security as he climbed a 7-foot (2-meter) fence and smashed two windows, then crawled inside and ignited destructive fires with two gasoline-filled beer bottles. ""I am confident that if fully implemented, the key recommendations that we have made will prevent an attack of this nature from succeeding in the future,"" Miller said. His San Diego-based security consulting firm is being paid more than $35,000 for the work. Miller and his team assessed security at Shapiro's official residence and has recommended how to ""mitigate the gaps discovered,"" as Miller put it in a contract document filed with the state. They interviewed state police employees about duty assignments the night of the attack and about security monitoring systems that were in place. They also looked into fire suppression, the outer and inner perimeters, training and other factors. Shapiro has thanked police and firefighters for rescuing him and his family, but also said there were security failures at the three-story brick Georgian-style residence that sits along the Susquehanna River more than a mile (1.6 kilometers) north of the Capitol. Pennsylvania House Minority Leader Jesse Topper, a Bedford County Republican, has pressured the administration to give parts of the report to lawmakers that show what went wrong with the governor's security. He has said, however, that he understands that plans to enhance the security shouldn't be made public if it compromises the governor's safety. ""However, in terms of the accountability of what happened and how it happened, I think that is a question that needs to be answered and that those answers need to be provided to the people's representatives here in the House and the Senate,"" Topper said Thursday in his Capitol office. Topper said Friday that he had not received a response to an inquiry about whether lawmakers -- who may be called upon to approve more money for enhanced security -- will be allowed to read parts of the report. Miller was named to lead the state police in 2003 by then-Gov. Ed Rendell, a Democrat, and spent nearly six years in the top job. He has also been a senior security official with the National Football League and held other security related posts. A Harrisburg man, Cody Balmer, 38, has been charged with attempted homicide, arson and other offenses for the attack on the state-owned Harrisburg residence about 2 a.m. on Sunday, April 13. The fire caused an estimated millions of dollars in damage but no one was hurt. Shapiro, who is Jewish, fled the residence along with his wife and their kids -- he has since clarified that only three of their four children were home -- after being awakened by police. They and their guests had participated in a Passover Seder the previous evening. ""As bad as the outcome of the attack was, we are grateful that the actions of members of the Executive Services Office in immediately evacuating the Governor and his family to safety prevented any injuries or loss of life,"" Miller said in the statement. Shapiro splits his time between the Harrisburg mansion built in the 1960s and the family home in Abington, a Philadelphia suburb. The Democrat is seen as a potential White House contender in 2028. In a 911 call less than an hour after the fire, Balmer said, ""Gov. Josh Shapiro needs to know that Cody Balmer will not take part in his plans for what he wants to do to the Palestinian people,"" according a recording released by Dauphin County.

India and Pakistan last met in the Champions Trophy in February. That match was played in Dubai because the India refused to travel to Pakistan for the tournament. Fixtures at world tournaments, such as World Cups and the Champions Trophy, are dictated by the International Cricket Council and the event's schedule. India-Pakistan fixtures generate significant income, are regularly the most-watched and are played at the largest stadiums. Outside of that, matches are arranged by the national boards, but India and Pakistan have not met since Pakistan toured India in 2013. Their men's sides could meet at the T20 World Cup next year. ""Ultimately, this is government's decision whether we play them or not,"" said Gambhir, a former member of parliament for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

After the attack on 22 April, India introduced several measures against Pakistan, including suspending a water-sharing agreement and banning Pakistani aircraft from its airspace. Pakistan responded with numerous tit-for-tat-measures, while Instagram accounts of a number of Pakistani film actors and celebrities were blocked in India. India has not named any group it suspected of carrying out the attack in Pahalgam and it remains unclear who did it. Indian police have alleged two of the attackers were Pakistani nationals, with Delhi accusing Pakistan of supporting militants - a charge Islamabad denies.

More than a hundred House Democrats issued a letter Tuesday urging Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to reject the ""shortsighted and dangerous plan"" to eliminate suicide prevention services for LGBTQ+ youth. Earlier this month, the Trump administration released its budget for the agency, seeking to slash health care cuts and gut an array of mental health programs, including the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline's specialized services for LGBTQ+ youth. Democrats, including Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.), Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) signed on to the letter underscoring the importance of protecting this funding. ""Surely you can agree that every American deserves the resources necessary to prevent suicide and self-injury, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity,"" the letter states. ""Consideration of cutting off this life-saving resource to vulnerable youth and young adults goes against best practices in suicide prevention,"" the letter continues. ""We urge that you scrap this ill-advised plan. Our nation's children deserve nothing less."" HHS did not immediately respond to HuffPost's request for comment. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), joined by six Senate Democrats, sent a similar letter on May 7 calling the proposed funding cuts ""reckless."" The 988 lifeline, funded by the Substance and Mental Health Services Administration, is a nationwide suicide and crisis hotline. In 2023, 988 began offering services tailored to LGBTQ+ youth to address rising mental health disparities and saw an average of 2,100 contacts per day. LGBTQ+ youth are four times more likely than their peers to attempt suicide, and they experience higher rates of depression, anxiety, bullying and harassment. Trans youth in particular experience high rates of suicidality alongside other factors like lack of familial and school support compared to their peers. Research has overwhelmingly shown that the rise of anti-trans legislation over the last five years has had a negative impact on the mental health of trans youth. In particular, The Trevor Project, a non-profit LGBTQ+ youth suicide prevention organization, reported a 700% increase in contacts to their services in the days after the 2024 presidential election. The Trevor Project is just one of several mental health providers that make up the LGBTQ+ youth subnetwork, which partners with the 988 Lifeline. In the past, the network has received around $50 million in federal funds annually via SAMSHA to run its services. Funding is now in jeopardy as the Trump administration has laid out plans to gut a wide array of social safety nets for vulnerable communities, urging states not to use Medicaid funds for gender-affirming care, and threatening to withhold funding from hospitals and clinics that do provide such care to trans youth. Earlier this month, RFK Jr. released a 409-page review of gender-affirming care for youth that contradicts decades of research on trans health care. The authors of the review, who remain unnamed, promote ""psychotherapy"" as a ""noninvasive alternative"" to treatments like hormone therapy and puberty blockers. LGBTQ+ advocates have denounced the review for recommending ""conversion therapy"" -- a long discredited and dangerous practice built on the belief that being trans or gay is a mental illness that needs to be cured. The draft budget also includes plans to cut mental health services geared toward children, incarcerated youth, indigenous communities, unhoused people and people living with HIV. The elimination of these services would go into effect in October, but the changes to HHS would first need to be approved by Congress.",36.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,newsapi.ai,en ,64025_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,How and why Patricia stands above the four other most severe hurricanes in history,26.0,,,,,,media-combined-all_media2_v2,,en ,36067_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,How are the candidates’ career timelines similar?

Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale should be arriving later this month. For those unfamiliar, the sale typically pops up around Memorial Day weekend and is a chance for shoppers to save on thousands of items at the department store. It's basically a mini version of the popular Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. The retailer hasn't released specific details about the upcoming event, but last year we saw offers of up to 60% off from brands like Madewell, Birkenstock, Dyson and more. While Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale is typically a smaller affair than the summer Anniversary Sale, it still offers plenty of solid discounts. It's normally a great chance to shop for spring and summer wardrobe staples, beauty must-haves and baby gear. Here's everything we know about the sale so far. Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale is a bi-annual event that usually happens once in the spring and then again in the fall. In the past, the sale has included discounts across just about every category Nordstrom carries. Last year, we saw offers of up to 60% off, but this year's details have yet to be released. We don't have the official dates for Nordstrom's next Half-Yearly Sale, but we 're expecting it to start in late May. Last year, the sale ran May 22 through June 2, so we're expecting a similar timeline for 2025. Nordstrom's biggest sale of the year is its Anniversary Sale. The annual event is similar to its Half-Yearly Sales, but the discounts are typically steeper and include more new arrivals as well as discounts on upcoming seasonal items, like winter coats. There's also an early access period for Nordstrom cardholders and rewards members. The 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary sale will run July 12 through Aug. 3. As we mentioned above, Nordstrom cardholders and rewards members generally get early access -- so stay tuned for those dates to be announced.",33.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,58189_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,IBM wants to help businesses avoid a DNC-style hack attack,998.0,,,,,,media-combined-all_media2_v2,,en ,846_PeterBrendan/Ads_Creative_Text_Programmatic,INSPIRATION sent DAILY to your INBOX!

Staffing an assisted dying service could cost in excess of £10m a year within a decade. And training costs in the first six months alone could be over £11m. One assisted death would likely involve six health and care professionals working 32 hours. It said this could take staff away from existing services, but the overall impact of this was uncertain. And each panel that would review cases, comprising of a lawyer, psychiatrist and social worker, could cost £2,000 a day.

Anaemia is a common condition where the number of red blood cells or the amount of haemoglobin in red blood cells is less than normal, according to the NHS. Severe anaemia in the later stages of pregnancy can lead to problems such as low birth weight and premature delivery, the study found. But until now, little was known about the effect of anaemia in the early stages of pregnancy. Prof Duncan Sparrow, who led the study, said: ""We already know that the risk of congenital heart disease can be raised by a variety of factors, but these results develop our understanding of anaemia specifically and take it from lab studies to the clinic."" He added that knowing anaemia early in pregnancies was ""so damaging"" could be a ""gamechanger worldwide"". ""Because iron deficiency is the root cause of many cases of anaemia, widespread iron supplementation for women - both when trying for a baby and when pregnant - could help prevent congenital heart disease in many newborns before it has developed,"" he added. Congenital heart disease is the most common kind of birth defect, diagnosed in an average of 13 babies a day in the UK, and is a major cause of death in infants. Researchers previously found a link between anaemia specifically caused by iron deficiency during pregnancy and congenital heart disease in mice, and now want to confirm the link in humans. It is hoped that this would lead to trialling iron supplements as a potential way of reducing cases of congenital heart disease in the future.",32.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,13781_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"It took several weeks, after word spread on Facebook and Twitter of the shooting of Trayvon Martin, for the news to become widely reported by the national media.",28.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,20526_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Italy's RCF aims for valuation of up to 565 million euros in IPO,998.0,,,,,,media-combined-all_media2_v2,,en ,15819_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,It’s been an intense and distressing month in America.,998.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,NYT Archive,en ,69121_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Jamie McCourt, a lawyer, says that she signed postnuptial documents without reading them but that they didn’t affect team ownership.",38.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,29615_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Japan avalanche: Seven students feared dead ,26.0,,,,,,media-combined-all_media2_v2,,en ,61039_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Japan's households tighten purse strings as sales tax, typhoon hit",26.0,,,,,,media-combined-all_media2_v2,,en ,56712_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Jay-Z's Charity Concert Brings J Lo, Beyonce and Cardi B Together",36.0,,,,,,media-combined-all_media2_v2,,en ,25652_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Jazz at Lincoln Center contributes to the four-singer, four-dancer revue of Stephen Sondheim tunes, “A Bed and a Chair,” at City Center.",28.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,59309_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Jean-Jacques Rachou, the former owner of La Côte Basque, is preparing some classic dishes at Alain Ducasse’s new restaurant, Benoit.",30.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,NYT Archive,en ,50377_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Jennifer Clair focuses on knife skills, meat cookery, pan sauces, roasting vegetables, blanching vegetables and preparing leafy greens in her new book.",30.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,13466_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Jeremy Beal, a boat builder and lobsterman, had a simple strategy: “Point it and punch it!” His 14-year-old daughter took it from there.",29.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,NYT Archive,en ,44662_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Joe Biden also said he would “have a choice” on his running mate by the first week in August.

Michele Fiore, a former Las Vegas city councilwoman and state lawmaker who ran unsuccessfully in 2022 for state treasurer, was found guilty in October of six counts of federal wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. She was out of custody ahead of her sentencing, which had been scheduled for next month. In a lengthy statement Thursday on Facebook, the loyal Trump supporter expressed gratitude to the president while also accusing the U.S. government and ""select media outlets"" of a broad, decade-long conspiracy to ""target and dismantle"" her life. The pardon, issued Wednesday, comes less than a week after Fiore lost a bid for a new trial. She had been facing the possibility of decades in prison. Federal prosecutors said at trial that Fiore, 54, had raised more than $70,000 for the statue of a Las Vegas police officer who was fatally shot in 2014 in the line of duty, but had instead spent some of it on cosmetic surgery, rent and her daughter's wedding. ""Michele Fiore used a tragedy to line her pockets,"" federal prosecutor Dahoud Askar said. FBI agents in 2021 subpoenaed records and searched Fiore's home in Las Vegas in connection with her campaign spending. In a statement, Nevada Democratic Party Executive Director Hilary Barrett called the pardon ""reckless"" and a ""slap in the face"" to law enforcement officers. Fiore, who does not have a law degree, was appointed as a judge in deep-red Nye County in 2022 shortly after she lost her campaign for state treasurer. She was elected last June to complete the unexpired term of a judge who died but had been suspended without pay amid her legal troubles. Pahrump is an hour's drive west of Las Vegas. In her statement Thursday, Fiore also said she plans to return to the bench next week. Nye County said in an email to The Associated Press that it is awaiting an update from the state Commission on Judicial Discipline on Fiore's current suspension. The AP sent emails seeking comment to the commission, as well as Fiore's lawyer. Fiore served in the state Legislature from 2012 to 2016. She was a Las Vegas councilwoman from 2017 to 2022. While serving as a state lawmaker, Fiore gained national attention for her support of rancher Cliven Bundy and his family during armed standoffs between militiamen and federal law enforcement officers in Bunkerville, Nevada, in 2014 and Malheur, Oregon, in 2016.",27.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,26668_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"LJUBLJANA, Slovenia (AP) -- Police in Slovenia are investigating the disappearance of a bronze statue of U.S. first lady Melania Trump that was sawed off and carried away from her hometown. The life-size sculpture was unveiled in 2020 during President Donald Trump's first term in office near Sevnica in central Slovenia, where Melanija Knavs was born in 1970. It replaced a wooden statue that had been set on fire earlier that year. Police spokeswoman Alenka Drenik Rangus said Friday that the police were informed about the theft of the statue on Tuesday. She said police were working to track down those responsible. According to Slovenian media reports, the bronze replica was sawed off at the ankles and removed. The original wooden statue was torched in July 2020. The rustic figure was cut from the trunk of a linden tree, showing her in a pale blue dress like the one she wore at Trump's presidential inauguration in 2017. The replica bronze statue has no obvious resemblance with the first lady.",27.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,15525_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The complex effects of personal trauma have not traditionally been the stuff of sci-fi and fantasy. They tend to get in the way of the quest. ""Game of Thrones"" made a meal of it. ""Battlestar Galactica"" tried to consider the effect on survivors of losing a planet of people. But it hasn't fit in the swashbuckling world of ""Star Wars."" How could the mission to destroy the Death Star have quickly concluded if Princess Leia needed to mourn the loss of nearly all her loved ones on Alderaan? ""Andor"" changed all that. Coping with inner pain has been a theme throughout its two-season run, which comes to a close Tuesday when Disney+ releases a series-finale trilogy of episodes. It starts with its title character, who is left rootless by the deaths and destruction around him. ""Everything has been taken away from him since day one,"" Diego Luna, who plays Cassian Andor, said in an interview with The Associated Press. ""And he has to understand that home is inside. That he can be home. That home can be there. And therefore there's a reason to fight."" The three final episodes take Andor and the rest of the characters up to the events of ""Rogue One,"" the 2016 film that spawned the streaming prequel series. Tony Gilroy, who wrote ""Rogue One"" and is the show runner for ""Andor,"" has loved playing in the Star Wars galaxy, but he's made it clear his real mission is to tell universal stories of the effects of war, revolution and colonization on human (and occasionally non-human) souls. Nearly every character he's created is ravaged in one way or another, and even the lighthearted moments of the series are fraught with emotional pain. (Spoilers ahead for episodes 1-9 of Season 2.) When Andor goes undercover as a moussed-and-mulleted fashion designer named Varian Skye and makes small talk with a hotel staffer, he learns the man's family was killed in a notorious massacre by Grand Moff Tarkin, the imperial leader who would later order the destruction of Leia's world. And in a widely-memed moment of drunken techno dancing by senator and secret rebel Mon Mothma at her daughter's wedding, she is, as Genevieve O'Reilly who played her said, ""dancing to stop herself from screaming"" after tacitly agreeing to have an old friend murdered for the cause. No one on ""Andor"" undergoes more trauma than Bix Caleen, played by Adria Arjona. While still dealing with the fallout of being tortured by an imperial doctor in the first season, she is nearly raped early in the second and has been surrounded by death. Arjona said seeing the script was daunting. ""She has to go from PTSD to sort of being addicted to droppers, which help her sleep and get over the nightmares, to then her last final decision,"" Arjona told the AP. ""It's a lot. And reading it was incredibly scary."" An utterly new for ""Star Wars"" set of scenes between Cassian and Bix explore both the explicit and subtle difficulties of intimate relationships amid trauma. Cassian must comfort Bix, but she doesn't want her pain to define her. The two try to take a trip to the neighborhood bodega, but even that is subsumed by his fear for her. Cassian and Bix also must deal with the difficulty of the lives they take for the cause. Han Solo never mourned the stormtroopers he blasted, but the ""Andor"" duo killed a young imperial soldier during a mission and it haunts the home life they're trying to build. ""I can't stop seeing his face,"" Bix says. ""It fades,"" Cassian replies. ""I want to tell you it goes away forever, but I'd be lying."" Bix is among the major characters who won't go on to ""Rogue One"" or other existing ""Star Wars"" stories. ""Andor"" lets her complete her emotional arc with a tear-jerking but well-earned set of scenes. ""The last speech, I still haven't been able to watch it,"" she told the AP. ""I was a mess! It took me takes and takes of me absolutely just bawling through that scene until finally it gets to what I believe they used."" The show's revolutionary leaders, just as those in history have done, try to take their followers' trauma, and their own, and use it to drive the movement. Saw Gerrera, the radical rebel played by Forest Whittaker who has a key role (and one less leg) in ""Rogue One,"" gave a call-to-arms in a recent episode that is already being celebrated among fans as the ""revolution is not for the sane"" speech. The theme: pain as power. He tells a young prospective follower about his youthful enslavement in a brutal imperial work camp, and the toxic leak there of a fuel called rhydo. ""They worked us naked. Two, three hundred men. Boys really. Back and forth until the only thing you could remember was back and forth. Then one day, everyone started to itch. Everyone, all at once. Even the guards. You could feel your skin coming alive,"" Saw says, his raspy voice rising. ""It was the rhydo. They had a leak."" He tells the young man, ""We're the rhydo, kid. We're the fuel. We're the thing that explodes when there's too much friction in the air. Let it in, boy! That's freedom calling! Let it in! Let it run! Let it run wild!""",36.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,34936_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Larry Brown, who coached the Knicks for one turbulent season, left his imprint, for better or worse, on the team’s bench in the form of his coaching protégés: assistants Dave Hanners and Phil Ford.",38.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,31236_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Larry Fuller, currently a pianist for John Pizzarelli, is one of many living the quiet history of a jazz sideman.

The unnamed women filed a lawsuit last week alleging that the Motown star was a ""a serial and sick rapist"" who had assaulted them on numerous occasions between 2007 and 2024, across three residences. Robinson and his wife, Frances, are also accused of labour violations, including the failure to pay the women minimum wage and overtime. The women are seeking financial damages. Robinson's lawyer Christopher Frost said the allegations ""defy credulity"" and called them ""vile, false ... an ugly method of trying to extract money from an 85-year-old American icon - $50m, to be exact"".

In the report, launched in the Kenyan coastal city of Mombasa, the rights group documents how workers were deceived by recruitment agents, denied rest days, and worked under inhumane conditions with little or no pay. One of the women, Bigeni Maina Mwangi, told The Associated Press how she was promised a beautician job in Saudi Arabia, she instead found herself thrust into a life of domestic servitude under exploitative conditions. ""The contract I signed in Nairobi was changed the moment I landed,"" she said. ""The agent said I had no choice but to work."" Mwangi worked in Saudi Arabia for 17 months without pay. When she was finally sent home, her promised wages never came. Due to rising unemployment in Kenya, she found a better job in Dubai, but a return to Oman in 2020 led to even grimmer conditions. ""I worked in three houses non-stop, often without food,"" she said. The Amnesty report urges the Kenyan and Saudi governments to extend labor protections to domestic workers, prosecute abusive employers, and ban recruitment agencies complicit in exploitation. Another woman, Mejuma Shaban Ali, recounted signing her contract at Kenya's main airport before flying out in 2014. Her journey led her to what she described as ""a prison."" ""I was forced to escape the house disguised as taking out trash,"" Ali said. ""I got to the Embassy hoping for help. Instead, I was told to find another employer because I had made no money to pay off my employer."" She ended up working illegally after being linked to a broker, with her passport still held by her first employer. Both women called for a crackdown on rogue recruitment agencies and stronger embassy support. ""There are people suffering in Oman with no way out,"" Ali warned. The rights group estimates more than 150,000 Kenyans work as domestic workers in Saudi Arabia. ""The system amounts to modern slavery,"" said Amnesty Kenya Executive Director Irungu Houghton. The Kenyan government has in recent months cracked down on exploitative recruitment agencies and promised to protect Kenyans abroad. The labor ministry in April facilitated the return of more than 100 Kenyans who were scammed by an agency and got stranded in Myanmar and Thailand.",36.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,58397_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"MONROE, Mich. (AP) -- A drunken driver who crashed her SUV into a birthday party at a Michigan boat club, killing two children, was sentenced Thursday to at least 25 years in prison for second-degree murder. Marshella Chidester sat just a few feet away as the parents of 8-year-old Alanah Phillips and her 4-year-old brother Zayn Phillips described the impact of the devastating loss last year at what was supposed to be a celebration. ""That grief has been unbearable. ... She took everything in my life and destroyed it,"" Mariah Dodds said through tears. Security video showed an SUV zipping along a dusty, pitted road at 44 mph (71 kph) before crashing into the side of the Swan Boat Club, near Lake Erie, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) south of Detroit. Chidester, 67, was found guilty of second-degree murder and other charges after a four-day trial in March in Monroe County. Her blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit to drive, according to evidence. Chidester's trial lawyer suggested a leg problem could have caused her to press hard on the gas pedal, a claim the jury rejected. Because of her age, Chidester could die in prison before she becomes eligible for parole in 25 years. ""I've asked the Lord to forgive me,"" Chidester said in court, ""and I ask you to at least look into your heart and at some point if you can possibly forgive me, I would appreciate that so much.""

The Investigative Committee said that Ignat Kuzin admitted he was paid to kill Lt. Gen. Yaroslav Moskalik, a deputy head of the main operational department in the General Staff of the Russian armed forces. Moskalik was killed Friday by an explosive device placed in his car in Balashikha, just outside Moscow. Ukrainian authorities did not comment on the attack, the second in four months targeting a top Russian military officer that Moscow has blamed on Ukraine. Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov was killed on Dec. 17, 2024, when a bomb hidden on an electric scooter parked outside his apartment building exploded as he left for his office. Ukraine's security agency acknowledged it was behind the attack. Kirillov was the chief of Russia's Radiation, Biological and Chemical Protection Forces, the special troops tasked with protecting the military from the enemy's use of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons and ensuring operations in a contaminated environment.

""He wants to be seen as the all-powerful strongman who controls every facet of government,"" said host Jonathan Capehart during one segment.

The pedestrian was airlifted to hospital after the incident on Whitworth Road but died from her injuries, Greater Manchester police said. Two miles away, on Woodgate Avenue, three pedestrians, including a child, were also hit by the car. All three suffered minor injuries and have been discharged from hospital. A 49-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody. Police said the collisions, which took place at about 2.30pm on Saturday, were not being treated as terrorism-related. John Webster, an assistant chief constable for GMP, said: ""Firstly, our thoughts are with the family of the victim who has sadly lost their life in this tragic case. The actions of a single person have caused significant damage to the people of Rochdale."" Addressing online speculation about the driver's identity and ethnicity, Webster said: ""The suspect is a white male currently in custody and no further details can be released at this time."" He also stressed the collisions were unrelated to counter-terrorism activity in the area, after separate arrests were made in Rochdale on Saturday as part of a planned operation. Webster added. ""This incident caused significant disruption yesterday and I thank the public for their cooperation and understanding while our officers conducted their inquiries.

Mangione, 26, could face the death penalty in a case that shocked America for the killing of a top business executive on New York's streets but also triggered an outpouring of anger against America's for-profit healthcare industry. Mangione's arraignment comes months after his arrest for allegedly gunning down Thompson outside a New York hotel on 4 December. He was apprehended on 9 December at a McDonald's in n Altoona, Pennsylvania, after a restaurant worker purportedly recognized him from law enforcement advisories and tipped off police. In federal court, Mangione faces stalking, murder through use of a firearm, and firearms offense charges. Mangione is also charged with a host of murder and firearms counts in New York state court. Pennsylvania state prosecutors are also pursuing a case against him related to alleged weapons possession and false identification. He has maintained his innocence. While Mangione was already staring down the prospect of life imprisonment following his arrest, Donald Trump's attorney general, Pam Bondi, raised the stakes several weeks ago by announcing that she was directing prosecutors to seek the death penalty. Bondi called Thompson's killing ""a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America"". She stated that her decision was in keeping with ""President Trump's agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again"". The last time federal prosecutors in Manhattan pursued the death penalty involved Sayfullo Saipov, an Islamist extremist who murdered eight people in a truck attack. During the penalty phase of Saipov's trial, jurors could not unanimously decide on whether to impose death, resulting in him being automatically sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole. Gregory Germain, a professor of law at Syracuse University's College of Law, previously told the Guardian that nearly all recent federal death penalty cases took place during Trump's first term. Germain said he believed that Trump's justice department would not agree to an agreement in which Mangione pleaded guilty in exchange for a life sentence. ""He has political reasons, wanting to seem 'tough on crime' by supporting the death penalty,"" Germain said.",27.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,70602_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"MySpace, the Web’s largest social network, has gradually been imposing limits on the software tools that users can embed in their pages.",34.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,56518_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"NEW DELHI (AP) -- At least six people are dead and dozens injured after a stampede at a religious gathering in the western Indian state of Goa early Saturday, the Press Trust of India news agency reported. The stampede broke out as thousands of devotees thronged narrow lanes leading to a temple in Shirgao village, some 40 kilometers from the state capital of Panaji, the agency quoted police as saying. Tens of thousands of devotees from Goa and neighboring states of Maharashtra and Karnataka attended the annual Hindu festival at Sree Lairai Devi temple. The stampede was caused as people standing on a slope near the temple fell over, pushing more people to fall onto each other, Director General of Police Alok Kumar said, according to the news agency. The injured were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment. Authorities ordered a probe into the incident. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was saddened by the loss of lives and expressed condolences to the victims' families. ""The local administration is assisting those affected,"" Modi said on social media. Deadly stampedes are relatively common around Indian religious festivals, where large crowds often gather in small areas. In January, at least 30 people died and many more were injured in a stampede as tens of thousands of Hindus rushed to bathe in a sacred river at India's massive Maha Kumbh festival, the world's largest religious gathering.

(AP) -- Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested Friday at an federal immigration detention center where he was protesting its opening, a federal prosecutor said. Alina Habba, interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey, said on the social platform X that Baraka committed trespass and ignored warnings from Homeland Security personnel to leave Delaney Hall, a detention facility run by private prison operator GEO Group. The mayor has been protesting the opening of the facility throughout this week, saying its operators did not get proper permits. In her social media post, Habba said Baraka had ""chosen to disregard the law."" She added that he was taken into custody. Witnesses said the arrest came after Baraka attempted to join a scheduled tour of the facility with three members of New Jersey's congressional delegation, Reps. Robert Menendez, LaMonica McIver, and Bonnie Watson Coleman. When federal officials blocked his entry, a heated argument broke out, according to Viri Martinez, an activist with the New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice. It continued even after Baraka returned to the public side of the gates. ""The agents started intimidating and putting their hands on the congresswomen. There was yelling and pushing,"" Martinez said. ""Then the officers swarmed Baraka. They threw one of the organizers to the ground. They put Baraka handcuffs and put him in an unmarked car."" An email and phone message left with the mayor's communications office were not immediately answered Friday afternoon. Baraka, a Democrat who is running to succeed term-limited Gov. Phil Murphy, has embraced the fight with the Trump administration over illegal immigration. He has aggressively pushed back against the construction and opening of the 1,000-bed detention center, arguing that it should not be allowed to open because of building permit issues. The two-story building next to a county prison operated as a halfway house before a February announcement from Immigration and Customs Enforcement that it and the GEO Group reached a $1 billion, 15-year deal for a detention center there. Baraka sued GEO Group soon after the deal was announced.",27.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,13422_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Narendra Modi promised to restore the statehood of Jammu and Kashmir, not the special status of the region as a leader column said (India and Pakistan's old conflict has entered a new moment of peril, 8 May, Journal, p2).

Oscar Jenkins, a 33-year-old man from Melbourne, was convicted of being a ""mercenary in an armed conflict"" and sentenced on Friday to 13 years ""in a strict regime penal colony"" by a Russian-controlled court in Ukraine's east Luhansk region. Russia and its eastern Ukrainian proxies consider foreigners travelling to fight in Ukraine as mercenaries. This enables them to prosecute them under its criminal code, rather than treating them as captured prisoners of war with protections and rights under the Geneva Convention. The Australian government had repeatedly called on Russia to release Jenkins, a former biology teacher from Melbourne. Russia-installed prosecutors said Jenkins ""took part in combat operations against Russian military personnel between March and December 2024"". They posted a video showing Jenkins standing in a courtroom behind a glass cage, his hands behind his back and his expression despondent. Russian forces captured Jenkins in December 2024. In that same month, he appeared in a video shared by a Russian military blogger showing him being roughly interrogated and beaten. In the video, Jenkins had his hands bound with what appears to be tape or plastic. He is wearing military fatigues and has dirt on his face. Answering in English and broken Ukrainian, he says he is 32 years old and lives in Australia and Ukraine. ""I'm Australian,"" Jenkins says in English. ""Oscar Jenkins. 32 years old ... I study biology."" A man behind the camera appears to strike Jenkins twice in the head with a stick as he is questioned in Russian. He was then believed to have been killed in captivity, until Russia confirmed he was alive in January.

Where 2020's Doom Eternal was about speed and evasion, The Dark Ages emphasises standing your ground. Where Eternal involved picking off enemies one by one, The Dark Ages empowers you to obliterate dozens of demons simultaneously. Where Eternal saw you juggling rapid-fire weapons in a finger-cramping frenzy, The Dark Ages lets you solve most problems by hitting things ferociously hard. Ripping and tearing are out. Blunt force trauma is in. The kernel of The Dark Ages' combat stretches back to the 1993 original, inspired by the slow-moving projectiles fired by enemies such as imps, cacodemons, and hell knights. The Dark Ages empowers most of its enemies to shoot such projectiles, making its interdimensional battlefields glow with drifting fireballs, scudding orbs and floating energy barriers. You must navigate these obstacles as a slower, heavier Doom Slayer, one so physically dense he triggers a thunderclap when landing from a height. Indeed, it feels like he shouldn't need the shield which forms your primary defence against these projectiles. It can be used simply to block oncoming missiles, but certain attacks can also be deflected, returning them to sender. Successfully countering a projectile can stun its shooter, opening them up for a finishing ""glory kill"". While still bone-crunchingly vicious, these executions are generally less elaborate than in previous games, often (but not always) reduced to a straightforward punch or kick. Many demons attack hand-to-hand in patterns it's beneficial to memorise, while the largest and toughest foes are nearly all close-range duellists. These face-offs tend to take place within much larger battlefields, where smaller enemies prowl in their dozens and rows of undead shield-bearers guard their larger leaders. Id Software has devised several new weapons to deal with these infernal legions, such as a demon-impaling rail-spike launcher, or a gun that shreds enemies with the shrapnel of crushed skulls. It's a fascinating reformulation of the core ideas of Doom, and learning the rhythm of its shooting is as fun as witnessing its devastating effect. It is an easier riff to master than Eternal, however, while the slower pace and less stringent toolset mean that, at its highest level, it doesn't produce the same adrenaline rush. It doesn't help that the system is stretched over the flabbiest game id Software has made. The Dark Ages' 22 levels are all vast in scope, and many are open-ended, letting you pick your battles and unpick their secrets in whatever order you choose. Yet although the scale is impressive, the levels can be wearying to traverse, and it doesn't always feel as if the game makes the most of this real estate from a combat perspective. Id Software tries to counterbalance the slower pacing by mixing up how you explore. Some maps see you piloting an enormous mech called an Atlan, punching mountain-sized demons in slow-motion combat. Others involve flying around on the back of a dragon. There's novelty value here, but the game doesn't really know how to make either a meaningful experience. These parts are reminiscent of the obligatory vehicle sections that plagued shooters in the noughties, and the best I can say for them is they don't crop up too often. That said, I admire how much more experimental Doom: The Dark Ages is than it needed to be. Far from resting on its laurels, id Software seems possessed by a Nintendo-like urge to innovate. It wants Doom to be the shooter that rewires how you think about the genre with each new entry. The Dark Ages isn't as successful at doing so as id Software's earlier fare, but it is nonetheless a highly accomplished, smartly designed shooter that, at its best, hits like a truck.",32.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,858_4994_PeterBrendan/AdImageNet,PRE-COAT TOKE REPEAT COUGH SHIELD SMOOTH YOUR COUGH AWAY W SHOP NOW BUY BOGO GET FREE,41.0,,,,,,PeterBrendan/AdImageNet,,en ,13467_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Pakistan and India have hinted at de-escalating their current conflict after firing missiles at each.

While speaking to Real America's Voice host Steve Gruber on Wednesday, Cain praised men who are ""returning"" to church. ""God is moving mightily, and what's so exciting to me, it's especially among young people and men. Men are the fastest returning to church,"" White-Cain said. ""See what she's saying there? Again: Men. We need more fathers, more husbands, more real men,"" Gruber said. ""Absolutely,"" White-Cain agreed. She added that men ""are becoming the bedrock, which is how God designed it."" A study published last year by the Survey Center on American Life found that church membership was declining among young women in the U.S. at a higher rate than among young men. Nearly two-thirds of young women interviewed said they were not treated as equals to men in churches. White-Cain, a televangelist who has been called President Donald Trump's spiritual adviser, referred to her third husband, Jonathan Cain, as the head of her household, stating, ""God has an order."" She continued, ""If there's ever a time that a decision has to be made and we don't agree on something, he's the head. It's not hard to submit."" The White House Faith Office was established via an executive order in February, along with Attorney General Pam Bondi's Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias. ""I'm up here working on the initiatives for President Trump, who's been in ministry for 40 years and understands it,"" White-Cain told Gruber. ""But I am so excited about the move of God and, undoubtedly, Bible sales up 22%, people returning to church, and men converting."" The Faith Office leader has faced backlash for her church's financial practices. A Senate Finance Committee investigation that concluded in 2011 found that that White-Cain's then-ministry, the megachurch Without Walls International, used tax-exempt funds to pay her family members millions of dollars in salaries. Even right-wing influencer Jon Root told digital news site NOTUS he was concerned about White-Cain's involvement in the White House.

Deductible options are $100, $250 and $500. An add-on wellness plan has three tiers, offering up to $700 in annual benefits. Unlike some other pet insurance companies, Paw Protect doesn't offer an accident-only option, except for senior pets. Paw Protect's insurance is comprehensive, including illness, accident and emergency. Access to 24/7 telehealth, along with benefits that cover behavioral and alternative therapies, are included with Paw Protect's base plan. Paw Protect also offers upfront reimbursement for some treatments via InstantPay. You can get an estimate for the cost of your bill and call Paw Protect for approval. If your claim is approved, Paw Protect can deposit the insurer's portion of the covered claim into your bank account, as long as the institution accepts InstantPay. Note that you will still be responsible for your part of the claim, which could include your deductible and the amount not covered by your plan's reimbursement percentage. For example, if your vet bill is $2,000, you haven't yet paid toward your deductible of $500 and your reimbursement percentage is 90%, you'd be responsible for $650 ($500 deductible plus 10% of the remaining $1,500). One drawback to Paw Protect's base plan is that microchipping isn't included in the base plan; you need wellness benefits for access. Likewise, prescription food and supplements aren't covered unless you purchase a wellness plan. Our five-star pet insurance plans included these benefits, plus covered end-of-life costs. Paw Protect coverage options Paw Protect offers illness, accident and emergency coverage. Prescription medications (not prescription food or supplements), alternative and behavioral therapies, dental accidents up to regular coverage and dental illness for up to $1,000 a year. Chronic conditions like diabetes and arthritis are included in coverage as long as they aren't pre-existing conditions. Additionally, Paw Protect offers coverage for hereditary diseases and breed-specific conditions, as long as they aren't pre-existing when you sign up for insurance. There is a 24/7 telehealth line, so you can access a vet if you need advice without going to the emergency vet. Some benefits that other pet insurance companies offer aren't available with the base plan, though. What isn't covered? Paw Protect's base plan doesn't include items like microchipping and prescription food and supplements, though these are available through the wellness add-on. Additionally, like other pet insurers, pre-existing conditions aren't included in benefits. If your pet has shown signs of a condition before coverage or during the waiting period, you might not be able to receive benefits for treatment. Paw Protect also excludes avian flu and cosmetic procedures from coverage. What discounts are available? Paw Protect offers a 10% multi-pet discount. If you get insurance for more than one pet, you'll receive the discount. There's also a 5% military discount for service members. Paw Protect wellness plan upgrades The wellness plan upgrade offers three options for reimbursement, based on how much you spend each year. You can be reimbursed in the following allowance amounts: Wellness plans reimburse for grooming costs, medicated shampoo, prescription food and supplements, routine care and wellness visits, vaccinations and preventive care items like heartworm testing and medication. The wellness plan doesn't require copays or deductibles. Instead, you pay for your level of benefits and receive reimbursement for covered benefits. How much does Paw Protect cost?

In St Peter's Basilica, where he now lies in state, Francis's body rests in an unelaborate coffin and has not been placed on the traditional elevated bier. The tomb in which he will be buried is to be underground and unadorned, carrying only the plain inscription ""Franciscus"", again on his instructions. The final grace notes of a remarkable papacy will add to the pathos of Saturday's funeral, which hundreds of thousands of mourners are expected to attend. The Argentinian pope's plain, direct style endeared him to millions of non-Catholics as well as to the faithful. But the ecclesiastical politics of what happens next, in a divided church, will be anything but straightforward. The papal conclave due to commence in May will play a crucial role in determining the durability of Francis's reforming legacy. Traditionalists railed bitterly at the pope's pastoral approach to questions of sexuality and diversity, his disdain for hierarchy and dogma, and his emphasis on social and environmental justice. They will see the chance of a conservative reset. For cardinals from the global south - appointed in large numbers by Francis as he sought to reflect the geographical realities of 21st-century Catholicism - the conclave is an opportunity to exert influence on behalf of the church in Africa and Asia. That may point towards the election of a pope sharing Francis's passionate emphasis on addressing global inequality, the climate emergency and defending the rights of migrants. On the other hand, the morally conservative outlook dominant in many African churches could lead to alliances with western traditionalists, to the benefit of a theological hardliner able to garner support from both constituencies. At this stage, ""runners and riders"" lists of the supposedly ""papabili"" are stimulating sources of gossip, but not much more. Many of the newer cardinal electors are unknown quantities in Rome, and unknown to each other. As the Oscar-winning film Conclave vividly portrayed, the political dynamics that play out in the Vatican's Sistine Chapel are generally shifting and impossible to predict. No one, for example, saw Karol Wojtyla of Krakow coming in the late 1970s. The impact of the subsequent papacy of John Paul II serves to highlight the potential stakes for non-Catholics as well as believers. The 1980s saw the church under his leadership play an influential role in the tumultuous period leading to the collapse of communism and the end of the cold war. Although theologically conservative at a time when secularisation in the west was accelerating, the Polish pope was in tune with changing times when it came to the victorious struggle against authoritarian regimes in eastern Europe. In contrast, Francis sometimes cut an isolated figure as he opposed a new authoritarian turn in the politics of the west. Deploring the rise of aggressive nationalisms and the erosion of democratic norms, he became a lonely but vital bulwark of resistance in the name of universal rights and values. Progressives inside and outside the church must hope that, in an unstable and dangerously volatile era, that witness can be built upon by the next pontiff.

But because of that, some supremely relatable facts about the new pope have emerged about his background, hobbies and life in general. The Chicago-born Augustinian missionary Robert Prevost was elected May 8, becoming the first American pope in the 2,000-year history of the church. Leo, 69, spent his career ministering in Peru and took over the Vatican's powerful office of bishops before succeeding Pope Francis, who died April 21. Here are fast facts about Leo XIV: As word spread of Leo's hometown roots, a very Chicago question followed: Cubs or White Sox? Initially said to have cheered for the Chicago Cubs, the pope's brother, John Prevost, set the record straight about Leo's Major League Baseball allegiance in an interview with WGN-TV. The pope is in fact a White Sox fan. ""He was never ever a Cubs fan, so I don't know where that came from. He was always a Sox fan,"" John said, adding that the confusion might stem from the fact their mother's side of the family were North Siders and Cubs fans. When he has the time, the pope picks up a tennis racquet. ""I consider myself quite the amateur tennis player,"" Leo said in a 2023 interview with the Augustinian Order after taking over the Vatican's powerful Dicastery for Bishops following years as a missionary in Peru. ""Since leaving Peru, I have had few occasions to practice so I am looking forward to getting back on the court,"" Leo added. ""Not that this new job has left me much free time for it so far."" Prevost played tennis once or twice a month with other faith leaders on the courts of the Chiclayo Jockey Club, said the Rev. Jorge Millán, a priest who lived with Leo in Peru. Though born in Chicago, Leo spent several years working in Peru, including as the bishop of Chiclayo. He acquired Peruvian citizenship in 2015. That makes Pope Leo a dual citizen of the United States and Peru -- and the first pope for either country. After his election was announced, bells tolled at the cathedral in Peru's capital of Lima and at Holy Name Cathedral in downtown Chicago. Leo knows his way around an equation. As an undergraduate, Leo studied math at Villanova University, an Augustinian school outside of Philadelphia. He graduated in 1977 with a bachelor of science in mathematics, said university President the Rev. Peter Donohue, noting the pope is a Villanova basketball fan, too. In 2014, the pope also received an honorary Doctor of Humanities, honoris causa, from the university, Donohue said. Leo also hosted Villanova officials in Rome that year. Leo regularly talks to his Illinois-based brother by phone, said John Prevost. They discuss everything from politics to religion and even play the day's Wordle, he said.

That Prevost has decided to become Leo XIV will make Catholics think immediately of the last Leo - Leo XIII - and his 1891 encyclical or teaching document, Rerum Novarum, which outlined workers' rights to a fair wage, safe working conditions and the rights of workers to belong to trade unions. If Pope Francis was the People's Pope, then Leo XIV is all set to be the Workers' Pope. The Catholic church in the US is deeply divided. On the one hand, there are those who supported Trump in the last election and adhere to Vance's view that there is an order of love which puts family first, then your neighbourhood, and far after that, the rest of humanity. Then there are those who agree with Pope Francis that this is a misreading of Christianity - Leo XIV is likely to agree with his predecessor. For Prevost is an American with a difference: a cleric who has spent much of his life overseas. While born in Chicago, he joined the religious order the Augustinians, then became one of their missionaries in Peru and was later made a bishop there by Pope Francis. That experience will have given him an entirely different perspective on the Americas, and the US's role in the world - an understanding of how Latin America can view its giant neighbour with suspicion, and how, for many Latin Americans, the church is about liberation, rather than toeing a rigid line of tradition. For cardinals in the conclave pondering who the next leader of the Catholic church should be, they will have considered leadership skills, pastoral experience, knowledge of the Vatican and toughness. Robert Prevost has all this in spades. He led his religious order as prior general, he has worked in a diocese, and since 2023 has been in charge of the Vatican department that chooses bishops. The view is that he has made having a compassionate or pastoral approach a priority for choosing who joins the episcopacy. There will be some who will worry that Prevost blotted his copybook when it came to dealing with abuse crises in Peru. The sexual abuse of children and vulnerable people remains a stain on the Catholic church, and how he handles it will be one of his great tests. While some LGBTQ+ organisations noted that, before Pope Francis was elected, Prevost expressed concerns about what he called ""the homosexual lifestyle"", it is noticeable that one of the Catholic church's leading advocates for gay people, the American Jesuit priest, James Martin, has described Prevost's election as ""a brilliant choice"", and said that Prevost is ""kind, open and honest"". There will be other challenges too: tackling the issues that the cardinals raised in their pre-conclave meetings, known as the general congregations. The 12 meetings threw up the need for a continuation of Pope Francis's ambitions for a church that gives lay people more say - known as synodality; that needs to continue to speak up for God's creation at a time of environmental crisis; and that needs to continue to finding a role for women in the church. Pope Francis appointed a few women to senior Vatican roles, but the dominance of men in the church was all too evident in the past couple of days, as the 133 male cardinal electors filed into the Sistine Chapel to vote for the leader of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics. But if the cardinals were sure of one thing in their pre-conclave meetings, it was that the new pope must epitomise a pontifex - the old title for the pope meaning a bridge. In his words from the balcony of St Peter's Basilica, Leo XIV told the 40,000-strong crowd and the millions of Catholics watching around the world that: ""We must be a church that builds bridges."" The new Pope only has to look to his native country of the US to see how damaging division can be - yet he will know how damaging division in the church is too. The Workers' Pope must be a Unity Pope, too.",35.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,7955_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Power outages, gas shortages and pockets of flooding were among the lingering issues.

Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff met with Putin in Moscow on Friday, though details of their meeting have not been disclosed. Yuri Ushakov, Putin's foreign policy aide, and envoy for international cooperation Kirill Dmitriev were also reportedly present. ""I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing,"" Trump wrote Thursday. ""Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying. Let's get the Peace Deal DONE! In March, Trump told NBC News he was ""very angry"" and ""pissed off"" after Putin criticized the legitimacy of Zelenskyy's leadership, suggesting Putin's criticism was ""not going in the right direction."" Trump, who threatened to impose tariffs on ""all oil coming out of Russia,"" previously accused Zelenskyy of being a ""dictator"" who ""refuses to have elections,"" though he later appeared to walk back his statement. Trump issued critical statements on Putin shortly after his inauguration in January, reportedly saying he believed Putin was ""destroying Russia"" as conflict continued in Ukraine. ""Russia is bigger, they have more soldiers to lose, but that's no way to run a country,"" Trump said. Trump also condemned Putin during his first presidency, accusing Putin in 2018 of being ""mindless"" and an ""animal"" for what he claimed were chemical attacks in Syria. Despite his criticism, Trump praised Putin earlier that year and said the Russian leader was ""extremely strong and powerful."" A feud between Trump and Zelenskyy escalated in the weeks after Trump's inauguration, as Trump called on the Ukrainian leader to accelerate peace talks. In February, Trump called on Zelenskyy to ""move fast"" to achieve peace or ""he is not going to have a country left."" Zelenskyy responded by claiming Trump has ""helped Putin out"" by holding talks without inviting Ukrainian officials, as he warned Ukraine would not accept a peace deal if only Trump and Russia were involved in negotiations. At the time, Trump said he believed he and Zelenskyy ""have a very good relationship."" During Zelenskyy's visit to the White House on Feb. 28, a meeting between Zelenskyy, Trump and Vice President JD Vance in the Oval Office quickly became tense and verged on a shouting match. In the meeting, Vance defended Trump's push for a peace deal with Putin, suggesting the ""path for peace"" included ""engaging in diplomacy,"" to which Zelenskyy responded by arguing Putin was unreliable. Vance accused Zelenskyy of being ""disrespectful,"" while Trump claimed Zelenskyy was ""gambling with World War III."" Trump has claimed for years he would have Ukraine's war with Russia ""settled in one day,"" while also suggesting Russia would never have invaded Ukraine if the U.S. had a ""real president."" He attempted to broker a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia in February, though the Trump administration held talks without any Ukrainian delegates present. Ukraine agreed in March to an immediate 30-day ceasefire in negotiations with the U.S., which said at the time, ""the ball is now in [Russia's]",36.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,17313_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Prices for chateaus in the Loire Valley and the neighboring Mayenne department have stabilized after the global economic crisis of 2008, agents said.",33.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,61711_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Prize crossword No 29,691",39.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,The Guardian API,en ,996_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Public and private polling this cycle, as well as strategists in both parties, point to one of the tightest contests yet for the House majority, in races that stretch from California to Nebraska to Virginia.",24.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,37170_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"PublicRoutes.com gives public transportation directions for 15 American cities, two metro areas (in Connecticut and New Jersey) and one European city, London.",31.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,30831_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Quiet conversations could decide whether the next pope is conservative, progressive or a unifier As the sun sank behind St Peter's Basilica on Wednesday evening without smoke emerging from the the Sistine Chapel chimney, some in the crowd began to wonder why the first vote of the conclave was taking so long. Speculation included a malfunctioning stove and a medical emergency. Some thought disagreements between cardinals may have delayed the vote. The reality was probably rather more prosaic: voting is thought to have started late, and the record number of cardinal-electors - 133 and including many new faces - meant it took a long time. Debate between cardinals may well be taking place, but not within the confines of the Sistine Chapel. Quiet conversations and low-key lobbying will be happening during breaks between the voting sessions; the chapel is reserved for the time-consuming process of voting and vote-counting. Conversations about the next pope and the future path of the Roman Catholic church have been intensifying since Pope Francis died, although they will have started well before that. There are thought to be a number of different factions seeking to shape the outcome of the conclave. Broadly speaking, they can be characterised as progressives, conservatives, unifiers and the Italian contingent. Those involved in lobbying - including cardinal-electors and cardinals ineligible to take part in the conclave as they are 80 or older - are hoping to sway newer, less experienced cardinals. About 80% of the 133 cardinal-electors have not taken part in a conclave before; 21 were appointed just four months before Francis's death. Some believe this means there is everything to play for. The progressives include those who want to preserve Francis's legacy and push forward on his priorities. Issues such as inequality, marginalisation, the climate crisis and migration are important. They also want more lay people, including women, appointed to important Vatican positions; an orientation on the global south, where the Roman Catholic church is seeing its greatest growth; and an emphasis on a ""poor church for the poor"" rather than the pomp and rituals beloved of the traditionalists. Among the cardinals thought to be advocating this agenda are Jean-Claude Hollerich from Luxembourg, Timothy Radcliffe from the UK and Michael Czerny from Canada. These men are not considered papabile frontrunners themselves, but would-be kingmakers. The names they are believed to be pushing include Luis Tagle, 67, the Filipino cardinal sometimes referred to as the ""Asian Francis"". He is charismatic and down to earth, and has drawn huge crowds. But a widely circulated video of the karaoke-loving cardinal singing John Lennon's Imagine, criticised by conservatives, may have dented his prospects. Matteo Zuppi, a 69-year-old Italian, is another ""progressive"" candidate, with a reputation as a ""street priest"" who focuses on the poor and marginalised. He has welcomed gay Catholics. The traditionalist, conservative cause is being pushed by Raymond Burke, a Donald Trump-supporting US bishop, and Gerhard Müller, who ran the Vatican's office on doctrine until Francis fired him. They want to roll back Francis's legacy and reinstate orthodox teaching and practice. Their favoured candidates include Péter Erdő, 72, a Hungarian archbishop who is close to the country's rightwing prime minister Viktor Orbán and is seen as a standard-bearer for those who favour a return to traditional rules and doctrine. Robert Sarah, 79, from Guinea, is another who opposed Francis's reforms and priorities. Some cardinals are calling for a pope who can unite the different wings of the church, rather than alienating one or the other - although progressives say conservatives are using ""unity"" as a fig leaf for bringing Francis critics back in from the cold. Many see Pietro Parolin, the Italian cardinal and Vatican diplomat named as the bookies' favourite at the start of the process, as a unifying figure, although his lack of charisma may weigh against him. A sub-group consists of cardinals who want the papacy to return to Italy. There has not been an Italian pope for 47 years; before 1978, Italians held the top job for a straight 455 years. One papabile who could please this group while also satisfying the desire for a global figure is Pierbattista Pizzaballa, 60, the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem. An Italian who has lived in the Holy Land for 35 years - more than half his life - and has navigated the challenges and complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he could be everyone's compromise. But his relative youth may count against him among those cardinals who do not want to see a papacy lasting perhaps 25 or 30 years. In reality, no one knows what is going on behind the locked doors of the Sistine Chapel, and who will emerge on to the balcony of St Peter's Basilica in the coming days. Even then, the character and priorities of the new pope may take time to emerge. The burdens and opportunities of being seen by 1.4 billion people as God's representative on Earth may shape the man as much as the man may shape the job.",35.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,24385_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Quiptic crossword No 1,326",39.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,The Guardian API,en ,662_PeterBrendan/Ads_Creative_Text_Programmatic,"RIDE SAFE, IT'S FUN!

Advocating for migrants was a priority of Pope Francis, who made Ramazzini a cardinal in 2019. Being elevated to the top hierarchy of the Catholic Church didn't faze the bishop of Huehuetenango, whose continued commitment to social justice led to many threats of violence. His native Guatemala is struggling through political turmoil and remains a hot spot of migration to the United States. ""It's a duty of conscience for the cardinals, now that we have the responsibility to name a new pope, that we don't lose sight that we've been coming along a path and this path needs to continue to grow and grow and grow,"" Ramazzini told The Associated Press on Saturday, four days before Catholic cardinals gather to elect Francis' successor. ""I'm talking about supporting, welcoming, and protecting the rights of migrants."" Ramazzini said the church has to advocate for migrants forced by dire poverty to migrate along cartel-controlled routes where they're often extorted or trafficked, both by helping them with shelters and other humanitarian aid and by lobbying for comprehensive immigration reform. ""But this we haven't achieved,"" Ramazzini said. ""We didn't achieve it with Clinton, we didn't achieve with Obama, we didn't achieve it with Biden, and far, far less will we succeed with Mr. Trump."" Still, the church shouldn't abandon migrants or the ""pastoral line"" of advocating for social justice, peace and fairer economic relations between countries that started gaining prominence with the Second Vatican Council and reached new heights under Francis, Ramazzini said. ""There's a line of continuity and I am sure that this will be a task for the next pope,"" the cardinal said in the hilltop headquarters of the Scalabrinians, a missionary order founded by an Italian bishop in the late 19th century to serve migrants and refugees. ""We need to be the voice of all these people who don't have access oftentimes to lobbies that we can reach."" For most of the 50-plus years since his ordination, Ramazzini has been bishop in San Marcos and then Huehuetenango, mountainous regions that were particularly hard-hit during Guatemala's civil war, which ended in 1996. Today, they continue to struggle with extreme poverty and drug-trafficking, pushing hundreds of thousands of local youths to migrate to the United States. Cardinals are sworn to secrecy about the ongoing deliberations regarding the direction of the church as they prepare to enter the conclave on Wednesday. But Ramazzini said he's heartened by the ""global vision"" shared by the unusually large number of cardinals electors -- 133, all but a couple of whom are already in Rome. He added that he trusts the next pope will pick up the pending task of reforming church institutions and its financial structure that Francis began, as well as continue the ""great sign"" of including more women in positions of leadership. Ramazzini also highlighted that spirituality and social justice action must go hand-in-hand. ""This is the true spirituality, which is fed by prayer, by reflection on the word of God, but that has to be projected toward the other,"" he said. ""The next pope will have his own spirituality. But the important thing is that nobody forgets that you can't have real spirituality without putting the Gospel concretely into practice."" And his own beliefs are keeping him from being nervous about participating for the first time in the election of the next leader of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics. ""I'm not worried because I know that nothing will happen that our Lord Jesus Christ won't permit,"" Ramazzini said. ""In the end, he's the master of the church, we are his servants. ... So he will help us come out of this well."" That's reassuring -- as is the certainty that he won't be picked, Ramazzini joked. ___ Associated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP's collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

Dr. Sergio Alfieri coordinated Francis' five-week hospital treatment for double pneumonia and continued to oversee the pope's treatment after the pontiff returned to the Vatican on March 23 for two months of rest to allow a full recovery. Alfieri was alerted at 5:30 a.m. Monday by Francis' health care assistant, Massimiliano Strappetti, that Francis had been stricken and needed to be taken to the hospital. The doctor told Corriere that he arrived 20 minutes later. ""I went into his room, and he had his eyes open. I noted that he did not have respiratory issues, so I tried to call him but he did not respond,'' Alfieri was quoted as saying. ""He also did not respond to stimuli, even painful ones. In that moment I understood there was nothing more to do. He was in a coma.'' Alfieri said it was too risky moving Francis back to the Gemelli hospital, where he was treated for a complex respiratory infection that nearly killed him twice. ""The pope wanted to die at home, he always said it while he was at Gemelli,'' Alfieri said. The pope died two hours after suffering a stroke. Cardinal Pietro Parolin arrived and said the rosary over the body, accompanied by the papal household staff, Alfieri told the Milan daily. ""I gave him a caress, as a farewell,'' the doctor said. Vatican News has reported that the pope managed a gesture of farewell to Strappetti after falling ill, and that people with him at the time said he did not appear to suffer.

Sister Mary Barron, the president of the umbrella group of leaders of women's religious orders, urged the superiors and the thousands of nuns around the world who are involved in a myriad of ministries to pray that the cardinals make the right choice and ponder how to carry forward Pope Francis ' vision. ""We must be vigilant in doing our part to keep that flame of church renewal alive,"" she told the assembly of sisters, dressed in regular clothes and traditional habits. Many had headphones over their veils as her opening remarks were simultaneously translated in multiple languages. The International Union of Superiors General, which gathers superiors representing more than 450,000 religious sisters throughout the world, is holding its plenary assembly this week -- at the same time that 133 cardinal electors will enter the Sistine Chapel to elect a successor to Pope Francis. The Catholic Church reserves the priesthood to men, so only men will choose the leader of the 1.4-billion strong church. Barron exhorted her fellow sisters, who last gathered in a general assembly in 2022, to continue to embrace Francis' vision of a church that listens to all, and being witnesses ""daring to dream a future that reflects the boundless love of God."" Quoting from poets Emily Dickinson and Maya Angelou, she also called her religious sisters to not only meet the needs of the world's most marginalized, but to do so as ""a source of hope."" ""Our path forward might not be clear or conventional, but it's illuminated by the language of hope,"" Barron said. Standing and holding hands during the opening prayer, the sisters told each other in half a dozen languages ""we're pilgrims of hope."" Among those present at the assembly in a conference hotel on Rome's outskirts was Sister Nathalie Becquart -- whom Pope Francis elevated as the first female undersecretary in the Vatican's Synod of Bishops office in 2021. Many saw in that a sign that the rigidly male Catholic hierarchy might finally open to allow women to assume high-level decision-making responsibilities. ___ Associated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP's collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

Six Rankin County law enforcement officers handcuffed, beat and shocked Jenkins and Parker with Tasers before shooting Jenkins in the mouth during a warrantless raid of Parker's home. ""This is the ending of the Michael Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker case from the perspective"" of the Rankin County Sheriff's Department, said its lawyer, Jason Dare. The county's insurance policy will cover $2 million of that payment, he said. The remaining $500,000 will come from the sheriff's coffers, which is funded by taxpayer dollars, Dare said, but taxpayers won't have to pay for any increase to the department's budget. Last year, a federal judge sentenced the six officers -- former deputies Brett McAlpin, Jeffrey Middleton, Christian Dedmon, Hunter Elward and Daniel Opdyke and former Richland police officer Joshua Hartfield -- to between 10 and 40 years in federal prison for their roles in the 2023 torture of Jenkins and Parker. Middleton's shift called themselves the ""Goon Squad"" and created a WhatsApp channel and commemorative coins featuring the moniker and drawings of mobsters. An investigation by Mississippi Today and The New York Times exposed a decades-long reign of terror by nearly two dozen Rankin County deputies, but the six officers are the only ones who have been charged. During the officers' sentencing hearings, former deputies and prosecutors said the torture of Jenkins and Parker was far from isolated. In at least nine incidents over five years, McAlpin brutalized people during arrests, prosecutors said. ""McAlpin is the one who molded these men into what they became,"" federal prosecutor Christopher Perras told the judge. ""He modeled that behavior for young impressionable officers, and it's no wonder that they followed his lead."" Dare said the sheriff's office has taken steps to ensure such behavior ceases.

Yet the unorthodox collection of headwear, embroidered with Donald Trump's forced new name for the centuries-old Gulf of Mexico, was far from the most bizarre aspect of an extraordinary White House gathering hosted by the president on Wednesday. The cabinet meeting to commemorate the first 100 days of Trump's second term was, in the view of some social media commentators, something more akin to a gathering of Kim Jong-un loyalists in North Korea, each successive speaker trying to outshine the other in heaping lavish praise on their dear leader. There was the sight of Elon Musk, the outgoing head of the unofficial ""department of government efficiency"", placing one of the red Gulf of America hats on top of the Doge one he was already wearing. There was also an outing for a favorite Maga - Make America Great Again - conspiracy theory, with health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr repeating the debunked claim that 300,000 unaccompanied migrant children were somehow ""lost"" by the Biden administration. Pam Bondi, Trump's hand-picked attorney general, played the role of chief cheerleader, causing the president to nod his head as she commended him. ""Mr President, your first 100 days has far exceeded that of any other presidency in this country ever, ever,"" she gushed. ""[I've] never seen anything like it, thank you."" Recalling her Tuesday visit to the Drug Enforcement Administration she added: ""They said to me you, Donald Trump, have taken the handcuffs off of DEA agents."" It was, however, some peculiar allegations made by Kennedy concerning the Biden-era health and human services (HHS) department that really raised eyebrows, coming soon after ""loud quacks"" from the health secretary's duck-themed cellphone ringtone interrupted Trump, the Associated Press reported. ""We have ended HHS, as the role as effector, the principal effector in this country, for child trafficking,"" Kennedy said. He went on: ""During the Biden administration HHS became a collaborator in child trafficking for sex and for slavery. And we have ended that and we are very aggressively going out and trying to find these children, 300,000 children that were lost by the Biden administration."" During his campaign for the 2024 election, Trump repeatedly misrepresented government data to falsely claim that 300,000 migrant children who crossed the border unaccompanied had gone missing, and said many of them were trafficked or likely dead. The children were not in fact lost or missing. HHS data recorded only the numbers crossing the border, and tracking ceased when they were placed in homes and communities with relatives already in the US. Kennedy did not expand on the ""aggressive"" efforts his department was making to try to find children who were actually never missing. Much of the rest of the two-hour meeting, and a question-and-answer session with the media, was consumed by Trump talking up the perceived accomplishments of his first 100 days. He attempted to distance himself from Tuesday's bleak economic data that suggests the US could be heading for a recession on the back of his tariff policies: ""I'm not taking a credit or discredit for the stock market,"" he said. ""I'm just saying we inherited a mess."" Yet when the stock market was soaring during the final year of Biden's presidency, Trump frequently insisted it was because investors were buoyant at the prospect of him returning to the White House. The president was asked by a reporter on Wednesday if he had spoken with Xi Jinping, the Chinese president, about the tariffs that have sparked a potentially costly trade war between the countries, and have led to predictions of empty shelves before the end of the year as imports dry up. Trump said he had not, and offered his own prediction as to how Christmas might look for American families. ""Somebody said, 'Oh, the shelves are gonna be open'. Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls,"" he said. ""So maybe the two dolls will cost a couple bucks more than they would normally.""",36.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,71819_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Regulator Hester Peirce, known to many in the digital-asset industry as ""Crypto Mom,"" has a message for her fans: be more patient.

During his 12 years in St Peter's chair, Francis railed against Christian complicity with ""America first""-type nationalist movements across the west. Here, looming over him on what turned out to be the eve of his death, was the White House embodiment of the insular, bullying politics he spent so much energy fighting against. What now? The pope ""from the ends of the earth"" will be laid to rest on Saturday in an unadorned tomb in Rome's Santa Maria Maggiore basilica, after a funeral attended by about 50 heads of state and 130 delegations from around the world. Progressives inside and outside the church will hope that encounter with the US vice-president was not an ominous portent. The antipathy shown by US Catholic conservatives towards Francis has been virulent, extreme and, at times, close to schismatic. Arch-traditionalists and historic antagonists such as Donald Trump's religious cheerleader, Cardinal Raymond Burke, will see the coming papal conclave as an opportunity to stage a full-blown counter-revolution in the Vatican. How Vance and the Maga movement's other swaggering Catholic blowhard, Steve Bannon, would love that. After a decade in which secular western politics has drifted steadily to the authoritarian right, could Rome now take the religious version of the same route, rolling back Franciscan reforms such as the introduction of blessings for same-sex couples? The answer is probably not. But it is not by any means certain that Francis's progressive legacy is entirely safe. In order to promote the outward-facing spirit of his papacy, and reflect his conviction that the global south should carry more weight and influence in 21st-century Catholicism, the first Latin American pope ensured that the cardinals choosing his successor will be the most diverse group in church history. A prolific record of 108 new appointments included red hats for bishops and archbishops in 25 countries that had never boasted a cardinal before. Many of the relative newbies from Africa and Asia are unknown quantities in Rome, and to each other. Some hail from episcopal sees that are well off the beaten track within their own countries. This influx from what Francis called ""the peripheries"" will make an always unpredictable voting process still more unreadable. But it also represents a significant recalibration of ecclesiastical power away from the rich west. Such a rebalancing does not necessarily translate to an automatic boost for progressive forces in the conclave. On issues relating to sexuality, ""gender ideology"", abortion and the family, many African and Asian prelates have more in common with the ""illiberal Christianity"" of Viktor Orbán's Hungary. There may be some interesting coalition-building to come between the churches of the global south, and the conservative Catholic representatives of post-communist central Europe. Anti-Francis theological hardliners could benefit from that. But a more globally representative electorate means that to become ""papabile"", a candidate will surely need to share the late pope's focus on global inequality, the rights of the poorest nations and the climate emergency. A less western conclave should equally guarantee continuing empathy with the fate of millions of migrants on the move, in a world of harder and harsher borders. In the medium term, Francis's empowerment of the laity and the grassroots of the church will also complicate any back-to-the future restoration project. The ""synod on synodality"" was burdened with a terrible name, and liberal-minded Catholics have been severely disappointed by a lack of progress on issues such as female deacons. But by convening this vast deliberation on the future of the church - in which women voted for the first time alongside clerics on the way forward - Francis cunningly embedded a more open, inclusive culture at the heart of Catholicism. That momentum will be difficult for a new pope to uproot and defy. In truth, though, for all the premature speculation over papal runners and riders, the post-Francis future can only be viewed through a glass darkly. In Robert Harris's novel Conclave, a terrorist attack in Rome sets the stage for a defining choice between a Trumpian cardinal eager to roll back the clock and take on Islam, and a Christlike peace-loving rival from the global south, who will eventually choose the papal name of Innocent. The prospect of a similarly clearcut and satisfying narrative unfolding in May, as an unusually large gathering of 135 cardinal electors contemplate their options, is remote. Against a backdrop already transformed by the impact of the second Trump presidency, the moral stakes for the world's largest Christian church are intimidatingly high. Francis was a fierce critic of the global economic culture that legitimised the restless, amoral profit-seeking of capital, as it sought to undermine every human, environmental and territorial limit to its ambition. His papacy of ""the peripheries"" was in part dedicated to championing the interests of those forgotten and left behind by such a model. But amid the ethnocentric, nationalist backlash to globalisation, which in parts of the west was often associated with a spurious defence of Christian heritage, he was also called to defend the suddenly endangered postwar architecture of international law and universal human rights. As a new authoritarian era apparently takes shape, in which raw power is allowed to undermine democratic and legal norms, the late pope's English biographer, Austen Ivereigh, has compared the challenges his successor will face to those facing the papacy of Pius XI 100 years ago. Francis's gut response to the growing crisis was to champion a spirit and ethic of catholicity, in the widest sense of the word. This radically pastoral approach was encapsulated in his repeated insistence that the church he led should be open to ""todos, todos, todos"". But that missionary advocacy of inclusivity applied to the secular world as well. In February, it formed the substance of his extraordinary indirect rebuke of Vance, after he had the temerity to cite Catholic doctrine on love as a justification for summary deportations and cuts to US international aid. In his coruscating letter to US bishops, which would become the last major intervention of his papacy, Francis wrote: ""What is built on the basis of force, and not on the truth about the equal dignity of every human being, begins badly and will end badly."" That act of witness should be the starting point of the next pontificate, if the Catholic church is to fulfil its true vocation in the age of Trump.",35.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,1250_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Southern Louisiana residents braced for floods as the storm passed through.

The state's nominal GDP reached $4.1tn, according to data from the International Monetary Fund and the US Bureau of Economic Analysis, edging out Japan's $4.02tn nominal GDP. California now ranks behind the US at $29.18tn, China at $18.74tn and Germany at $4.65tn. Along with the tech and entertainment industry capitals, the state, which has a population of nearly 40 million people, is the center for US manufacturing output and is the country's largest agricultural producer. ""California isn't just keeping pace with the world - we're setting the pace. Our economy is thriving because we invest in people, prioritize sustainability, and believe in the power of innovation,"" Newsom said in a statement. The state has outperformed the world's top economies with a growth rate in 2024 of 6% compared with the US's 5.3%, China's 2.6% and Germany's 2.9%. This week's new rankings come six years after California surpassed the United Kingdom and became the world's fifth largest economy. Newsom noted, however, that the Trump administration's agenda endangers California's economic interests. ""And, while we celebrate this success, we recognize that our progress is threatened by the reckless tariff policies of the current federal administration. California's economy powers the nation, and it must be protected."" California last week became the first state to sue the federal government over Donald Trump's tariff policies, and has argued that the president's actions are unlawful and that constitution explicitly grants Congress the power to impose tariffs. ""No state is poised to lose more than the state of California,"" Newsom said during a press conference announcing the lawsuit. ""It's a serious and sober moment, and I'd be ... lying to you if I said it can be quickly undone."" California is a major contributor to economic growth nationally, with the money it sends to the federal government outpacing what it receives in federal funding by $83bn, according to a statement from Newsom's office. Despite an enormous shortage of affordable housing that has fueled a homelessness crisis in the state, the population has grown in recent years. Meanwhile, last year the state reported its tourism spending had hit an all-time high - though California has seen a drop in some areas. Canadian tourism in California was down 12% in February compared with the same month last year amid Trump's tariff war. In response, the state has announced a new campaign to draw Canadians back, while one city has put up pro-Canada signs across its downtown.",36.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,64254_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Stefanie Dolson, once an exhausted and ineffective freshman center, has been an ebullient bandleader in the Huskies’ parade toward a repeat championship.",38.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,28401_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Stephen McPherson, the president of ABC Entertainment, told reporters that he contacted Paula Abdul immediately after he heard the news that contract talks with her hit Fox show “American Idol” had broken down and that she had decided to leave the show.",28.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,5194_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Still king — king of the celebrity-impersonator wedding officiants, that is.",29.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,NYT Archive,en ,19596_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,Stock company fire insurance controlled by the great exchanges has been shown by the Lockwood committee to be a combination and monopoly to the detriment of the insured.

Earlier in the day, state TV issued an apology and said eight staff members were dismissed following a Wednesday program that allegedly insulted Abu Bakr, the first caliph, who ruled from 632 until 634 after the death of Muhammad and was also his father-in-law. In the program a guest allegedly described Abu Bakr as ""cursed and snide,"" claiming to curse the caliph during daily prayers. The head of the state broadcasting company, Peiman Jebeli, took to the social media platform X to condemn the insult as ""sedition"" and ""unforgivable wrongdoing."" It is the first instance in decades that Iranian authorities openly prosecute staff from the state broadcasting company. In 1989, authorities prosecuted five staff members of the company for broadcasting a radio report where a woman said Fatimah, the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, was not a suitable role model for women since she lived centuries ago. The prosecution reportedly resulted in lashes and the purging of the staff.

Addicted to trade, instead of to crack, They feared that their whole world was fading to black. The issues that fill them with secret delight, Send most of us screaming into the night. Undaunted, they smile as they pass to and fro, Mulling on exports too high or too low. The topics they prize as glorious beauties, Are tariffs and quotas and levies and duties, On produce prosaic like corn, rice and wheat, And food more exotic like pickled pig's feet. Dumping's a subject they argue all day, But not tossing the trash in a ditch or a bay. It's dumping of apples and autos and grapes, And airplanes and cheeses and videotapes, That are sold overseas for less than at home, So mozzarella is cheaper in Maine than in Rome. They ponder a VAT on new wine in old bottles, And argue on imports of rare axolotls. They chortled with glee ""By Gosh!"" and ""By Golly!"" When Al Gore invoked the names Smoot and Hawley. Yet with Nafta receding into the past, They're lowering flags to fly at half-mast. Deprived of a chance to palaver on trade, These obsessive folks were turning afraid. Just when they feared all hope would be gone, From Europe a grand new word came along. It's simple to say and so easy to spell, It's saving these trade fanatics from hell. GATT is the word -- take note, double T's. (The same as this poet's last name, if you please.) It means General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, And Geneva's the town where it just might get made. To add cliff-hanging qualities to this accord, A deadline is looming! (Nah, we're mostly still bored.) Wednesday's the day GATT talks must be done, But trade fanatics pray they've only begun. They're just starting to trade jokes about GATT, Like: ""Uruguay round?"" ""No, Uruguay flat!"" They note with delight GATT's roiling the French, The folks who make teeth around the world clench. The French claim our movies, TV and such, Will put their own film makers in Dutch. They clamor their culture's in peril, the French, Terrified Spielberg will make them retrench. Overshadowed by ""Jaws"" and ""Terminator 2,"" How will Gerard get his Depar-dieu? The French fracas does give GATT something it lacks, Tabloid-esque headlines like ""Big Rift Snags Trade Pacts."" Will the world's trading nations say O. K. to GATT? You'll have to read Thursday's headlines for that. (Assuming, of course, that this doggerel epic Hasn't made the GATT-wary masses dyspeptic.)

The status allows people already in the United States to live and work legally because their native countries are deemed unsafe for return due to natural disaster or civil strife. A federal appeals court had earlier rejected the administration's request. President Donald Trump's administration has moved aggressively to withdraw various protections that have allowed immigrants to remain in the country, including ending TPS for a total of 600,000 Venezuelans and 500,000 Haitians. TPS is granted in 18-month increments. The emergency appeal to the high court came the same day a federal judge in Texas ruled illegal the administration's efforts to deport Venezuelans under an 18th-century wartime law. The cases are not related. The protections had been set to expire April 7, but U.S. District Judge Edward Chen ordered a pause on those plans. He found that the expiration threatened to severely disrupt the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and could cost billions in lost economic activity. Chen, who was appointed to the bench by Democratic President Barack Obama, found the government hadn't shown any harm caused by keeping the program alive. But Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote on behalf of the administration that Chen's order impermissibly interferes with the administration's power over immigration and foreign affairs. In addition, Sauer told the justices, people affected by ending the protected status might have other legal options to try to remain in the country because the ""decision to terminate TPS is not equivalent to a final removal order.""

The only flaw in Robert Harris's brilliant novel of clerical politics Conclave is that, as they scheme, none of the prelates seem bothered about the ceiling Michelangelo painted with scenes from Genesis between 1508 and 1512 or the Last Judgment he painted on the altar wall much later, from 1536 to 1541 - let alone the earlier paintings by Botticelli and others on the side walls. When a bomb blows in a window in last year's award-winning film of the book, the conclave carries on without even pausing for restorers to check the damage. As if. But if cardinals do glance upward to the painted heavens or sidelong at the fires of hell behind the altar, how could Michelangelo's two fresco masterpieces stimulate or challenge them in their mighty choice? The Sistine contains warnings as well as inspirations from history, for Renaissance papal elections made the film look tame. The election in 1503 that awarded Giuliano della Rovere the papacy and enabled him as Pope Julius II to commission Michelangelo's ceiling was a tense factional struggle in a college that the previous pope's son, Cesare Borgia, had under his thumb. By chance, Cesare fell ill, which allowed his enemy Julius to take power and destroy the Borgias. And Julius's desire to beautify the chapel with Michelangelo's art was itself dynastic - the Sistine was shaped by Julius's uncle, Pope Sixtus IV, so he was adding to the glory of the Della Rovere clan. All very spiritual. While the Renaissance papacy that created the chapel was bloody and ruthless, Michelangelo was someone to look up to. Everything about his frescoes testifies to a personal example of courage, integrity and Christian faith that should help the electors think about the virtues of an ideal pope. His towering pictures also point to the church's need for reform. Full recognition of gay rights would be accepted by a pope who understood the Last Judgment. Michelangelo painted it after he had recently declared his ""neoplatonic"" love for a young nobleman in poetry, drawings and letters. This heroic assertion of the beauty and dignity of same-sex love, in an age when you could be burned at the stake for ""sodomy"", is reflected in his portrayal of men kissing in heaven. A puritanical backlash led to the male nudes being bowdlerised with draperies soon after Michelangelo's death. In fact, even with some of the draperies still in place, any cardinal who looks around will see so many nudes above and around them, it is impossible to escape Michelangelo's challenge to the Christian equation of sin and sexuality that goes back to St Paul. This devout yet independent thinker challenges today's church with a fundamental question: can it really be moral and godly without adopting a more honest attitude to the human body and its desires? Pope Julius II's theologians proposed a complicated plan for the Sistine ceiling but Michelangelo rejected it and came up with his own design in which the creativity of God mirrors that of the artist himself. God is not only human but fleshy in Michelangelo's intimate vision. As he whirls in space, creating the sun and the moon, we get a huge view of his buttocks through tight purple fabric. In High Renaissance Rome, such free thought was accepted - Michelangelo freely mixed up Christianity and pagan philosophy. A lesson for the cardinals to loosen up on doctrinal pedantry perhaps? Michelangelo depicts an array of Old Testament prophets and pagan Roman prophetesses - this one is the Libyan Sibyl - who witness and frame his scenes from Genesis. While they are conventionally explained as ""precursors"" of Christianity, Michelangelo's art may reflect the more radical teaching of Pico della Mirandola and other thinkers who mentored him as a teenager in Florence. Pico claimed that pagan, Jewish and Islamic ideas, including Kabbalistic magic, are compatible with Christianity. Looking up may encourage the cardinals to embrace religious relativism. Michelangelo set his biblical scenes within multilayered, trompe l'oeil architecture, confusing you about where the gothic vaulting ends and his art begins: is that a real pedestal or just paint? Is that goat skull flat or solid? A bored cardinal idly looking up at these playful quirks may remember that appearances are often deceptive - useful to know amid the intricacies of clerical politics. Any cardinal tormented by ambition to ""win"" this election should reflect on Michelangelo's surprising self-portrait in the Last Judgment. He depicts himself as a bag of skin, flayed off, his bearded face an empty, distorted mask. He was as famous as the pope when he painted this, yet portrays himself at the height of his career as a husk. It's a lesson in humility. Michelangelo broke with the convention in which the blessed and damned at the Last Judgment stand on either side of such scenes, and brilliantly rethought it as a vertical composition in which those awaiting salvation and damnation are expressed rising heavenwards or falling to hell. To sit in the conclave and see this must fill you with the longing to be lofty, to rise to the moment, to go high - and not be dragged down by base calculations or corruption. Inspired by Dante, Michelangelo painted the ass-eared Minos, judge of the underworld - the number of times a serpent coils about him shows to which circle of hell the damned soul is condemned. Michelangelo is said to have given Minos the face of a clerical official who accused him of turning the Sistine into a ""bath house"" with his nudes. This was his caustic response to this bigot, who in an ironic twist has his penis chewed forever by the serpent. The message here is: how can Catholicism refuse full sexual justice when its own greatest artist is such a heroic example of a Christian gay man?",35.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,56185_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,The best way to tell which states President Trump and Joseph R.

""(Bush), with the intent to harass, annoy or alarm another, namely, Victim 1, struck, shoved, kicked or otherwise subjected the other person to physical contact, or attempted or threatened to do the same, followed the other person in or about a public place or places, or engaged in a course of conduct of repeatedly committed acts which served no legitimate purpose,"" the complaint read. The complaint states the dispute stemmed from an argument in which the two were involved Sunday morning. Victim 1 said that Bush ""became more aggressive"" as the argument continued, which prompted her to video record a portion of it on her cell phone. After that, Bush ""began to chase her through the house trying to get the phone."" He eventually cornered her in the home office, where ""Victim 1 stated that she clutched her phone to her chest while she was pinned against a massage table in the office"" and that ""Bush was aggressively trying to get her phone off of her for an extended period of time."" Bush was eventually able to get the phone, per the complaint. He allegedly ""smashed it so that she could not call for help"" and later sought her iPad for the same reasons. Victim 1 and her daughter were eventually able to escape to a neighboring residence. She also contacted the police and ""stated that her boyfriend assaulted her and took her car keys."" Victim 1 was found at the neighbor's residence upon police arrival. The responding officer noted two visible abrasions/cuts on her, one on the inside of her right wrist and the other on the outside of her right foot.

The scathing statement from Liu, the first Chinese Australian woman elected to the House of Representatives, said Hume's baseless claims had sparked ""anger and confusion"" in the Chinese community. In a separate open letter, co-signed by several Chinese Australian community associations, the Chinese Community Council of Australia's Victorian (CCCAV) chapter called Hume's claims ""offensive and unjust"". In the final week of the election campaign, Hume, a senior Liberal senator from Victoria and the shadow finance minister, claimed some Chinese Australians handing out how-to-vote cards for Labor may have been ""Chinese spies"". Her remarks were in response to media reporting that a Chinese community association, which was allegedly linked to China's Communist party, was handing out election material for Labor and teal candidates, including Clare O'Neil. ""There might be Chinese spies that are, you know, handing out for you,"" Hume told O'Neil on Channel Seven's Sunrise. O'Neil had said her office declined the offer of volunteers. After Hume's claims, the foreign affairs minister, Penny Wong, recorded WeChat videos hammering the Liberals and speaking in Mandarin. Suburbs with significant Chinese Australian populations in key marginal seats recorded huge swings to Labor of up to 30%, as analysts warned the Liberals had failed to rebuild trust with the community. When asked for comment and her response to both Liu's statement and that of the CCCAV, Hume noted that the Australian Electoral Commission was investigating this matter. ""We will await the outcome of this investigation,"" a spokesperson for the senator told Guardian Australia. ""It is deeply concerning that the Minister for Foreign Affairs would politicise an issue as important as possible foreign interference in our election."" It's understood that Hume meant her comments on Sunrise to refer specifically to the issues raised in media reports, not as a reflection on all Chinese Australians. The Liberal party also had Chinese Australians helping on voting booths and in volunteer efforts. Liu, who was elected in 2019 for the seat of Chisholm but defeated at the 2022 poll by Labor's Carina Garland, said it was ""absolutely justified for the Chinese community across the nation to demand Senator Hume clarify her remarks"". Liu has requested an apology from the Liberal party organisation. The Liberal party was contacted for comment. ""I was outraged and deeply troubled when I heard senator Jane Hume's irresponsible statement on morning TV,"" Liu said in a statement. ""This baseless accusation is not only inflammatory but also damaging. ""The immediate questions that arise are: Chinese spies? Who are these supposed spies? What do they look like? And more disturbingly, for the Chinese community: will I be viewed as a spy? Do I need to prove that I am not a spy? How on earth do I even begin to prove that? ""The Chinese community deserves a clear explanation and a heartfelt apology. This kind of rhetoric has no place in our society and it is imperative that we confront and challenge it with the utmost vigour."" Despite a strong campaign from the former Liberal MP Katie Allen, Labor held Chisholm with an increased margin, with Garland holding the seat with a 55-45 two-party vote, a swing of nearly 2%. In an open letter, the CCCAV also requested an apology from Hume, saying the Chinese Australian community was ""deeply concerned by the unsubstantiated remarks"", claiming Hume's comments ""cast unwarranted suspicion on Chinese-Australian volunteers involved in the 2025 federal election campaign"". ""Senator Hume's public comments, made without evidence, have fostered negative and unfair perceptions that undermine the legitimacy of Chinese-Australian civic engagement. Many individuals in our community, who were exercising their democratic rights as Australian citizens, have found these implications to be both offensive and unjust,"" the organisation said. ""Suggesting or implying that Chinese-Australians engaging in lawful campaign activity are somehow untrustworthy is not only discriminatory but also detrimental to the principle of equality that is fundamental to the Australian society. Such irresponsible remarks promote racial profiling, undermine the equal status of Chinese-Australians in public life, and discourage civic involvement by fostering an atmosphere of suspicion based solely on cultural background.""",24.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,72965_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,The former agency directors say current employees will face an “impossible task” to maintain service just as hurricane season begins.,25.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,New York Times API,en ,16756_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"The forward is still months away from rejoining the team after undergoing A.C.L. surgery, but he addressed the news media before Tuesday’s game against Dallas.",38.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,NYT Archive,en ,9290_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"The funeral of Pope Francis has taken place in the Vatican.

Francis, who died Monday, ""was a transformational leader who included LGBTQ people in historic ways,"" said Sarah Kate Ellis, CEO of the U.S.-based advocacy group GLAAD, who met twice with the pope. ""His principles of empathetic listening, inclusion, and compassion are exactly what this divided world needs right now."" Many conservative Catholic leaders were wary of his LGBTQ+ outreach -- and sometimes were angry and defiant, such as when he decided in 2023 to let priests bless same-sex couples. Africa's bishops united in refusing to implement the Vatican declaration, saying same-sex relationships were ""contrary to the will of God."" Individual bishops in Eastern Europe, Latin America and elsewhere also voiced opposition. The declaration restated traditional church teaching that marriage is a lifelong union between a man and woman. But it allowed priests to offer spontaneous blessings to same-sex couples seeking God's grace, provided such blessings aren't confused with the rites of a wedding. Frances later acknowledged the declaration had encountered resistance; he faulted opposing bishops for refusing to open a dialogue about it. ""Sometimes decisions are not accepted,"" he said in a TV interview. ""But in most cases, when you don't accept a decision, it's because you don't understand."" ""This has happened with these last decisions about blessing everyone,"" Francis added. ""The Lord blesses everyone."" The beneficiaries of Francis' welcoming attitude included a community of transgender women -- many of them Latin American migrants who worked in Rome as prostitutes -- who visited his weekly general audiences and were given VIP seats. ""Before, the church was closed to us. They didn't see us as normal people. They saw us as the devil,"" said Colombia-born Andrea Paola Torres Lopez. ""Then Pope Francis arrived, and the doors of the church opened for us."" The pope's mixed legacy was epitomized by the Vatican's 2023 synod bringing together hundreds of bishops and lay people to discuss the church's future. The advance agenda mentioned LGBTQ+ issues; one of Francis' hand-picked delegates was the Rev. James Martin, a U.S.-based Jesuit and prominent advocate of greater LGBTQ+ inclusion. Yet in the final summary of the three-week synod, there was no mention of LGBTQ+ people -- reflecting the influence of conservatives who opposed Francis' overtures to that community. During the synod, the pope met with a small delegation from the Maryland-based New Ways Ministry, which advocates on behalf of LGBTQ+ Catholics in the U.S. According to the group's executive director, Francis DeBernardo, the pope urged them never to lose hope -- a message DeBernardo repeated after being disappointed by the synod's outcome. ""The Catholic LGBTQ+ community must take Pope Francis' message to heart,"" he said. ""The report's shortcomings are an invitation to speak anew about their joys, their sorrows, and their faith. ... Now is not a time to despair."" Another disappointment came in May 2024, when Francis apologized after Italian media quoted unnamed bishops saying he jokingly used the vulgar term ""faggotness"" while speaking in Italian during a meeting. He had used the term in reaffirming the Vatican's ban on allowing gay men to enter seminaries and be ordained priests. This week, DeBernardo looked back at Francis' legacy mostly with appreciation, even while acknowledging disappointments. ""Francis was not only the first pope to use the word 'gay' when speaking about LGBTQ+ people, he was the first pope to speak lovingly and tenderly to them,"" DeBernardo wrote. ""His kind words of welcome to this community, traditionally marginalized in the church, rang loudly around the globe."" It became clear early in Francis' papacy that he was going to articulate a gentler, more tolerant approach to LGBTQ+ people than any previous pope. The initial high-profile moment came in 2013 -- during the first airborne news conference of his pontificate -- with his memorable ""Who am I to judge"" comment when he was asked about a purportedly gay priest. Signals had come earlier. As archbishop of Buenos Aires, he had favored granting legal protections to same-sex couples. After becoming pope, he went on to minister repeatedly and publicly to the gay and transgender communities, steadily evolving his position. His abiding message: ""Everyone, everyone, everyone"" -- ""todos, todos, todos"" -- is loved by God and should be welcomed in the church. On some specific LGBTQ+ issues, Francis initially disappointed activists with his decisions, yet later softened or reversed them as part of highlighting his welcoming approach. Francis was criticized by the Catholic gay community for a 2021 decree from the Vatican's doctrine office saying the church cannot bless same-sex unions because ""God cannot bless sin."" But that stance was effectively repudiated by the 2023 declaration on blessings. Another reversal came that year in a Vatican statement saying it's permissible, under certain circumstances, for transgender people to be baptized and serve as godparents If it did not cause scandal or ""disorientation"" among other Catholics, a transgender person ""may receive baptism under the same conditions as other faithful,"" it said. Similarly, the document said trans adults, even if they had gender-transition surgery, could serve as godparents under certain conditions. That reversed an earlier outright ban. U.S. transgender-rights advocates welcomed Francis' inclusive tone, noting that some political and religious leaders were targeting trans people with discriminatory laws and policies. Another issue tackled by Francis pertained to laws in dozens of countries criminalizing homosexual activity. In 2008, the Vatican declined to sign a U.N. declaration calling for an end to such laws. But in a 2023 interview with The Associated Press, Francis assailed these laws as unjust and called for their elimination. ""Being homosexual isn't a crime,"" Francis said. Francis acknowledged that Catholic bishops in some regions support laws that criminalize homosexuality or discriminate against LGBTQ+ people. But he attributed such attitudes to cultural backgrounds, and said bishops need to recognize the dignity of everyone. ""These bishops have to have a process of conversion,"" he said, suggesting they should apply ""tenderness, please, as God has for each one of us."" Advocates of greater LGBTQ+ inclusion hailed Francis' comments. ""His historic statement should send a message to world leaders and millions of Catholics around the world: LGBTQ people deserve to live in a world without violence and condemnation, and more kindness and understanding,"" said Ellis, the head of GLAAD. Praise also came from Martin, who was selected by Francis as a synod delegate. ""Few bishops or bishops' conferences have condemned the criminalizing laws that the pope rejected today,"" he wrote of the AP interview. But Jamie Manson, a lesbian who headed the U.S.-based abortion-rights group Catholics for Choice, insisted declarations were not enough. ""LGBTQ people need more than nice-sounding words in a newspaper interview in order to be safe in the Catholic Church,"" she wrote. ""We need doctrinal change."" ___ Associated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP's collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

The image, shared on Friday night on Trump's Truth Social site and the White House's official X account, raised eyebrows at the Vatican, which is still in the period of nine days of official mourning after Pope Francis's funeral on 26 April. Featuring Trump in a white cassock, a gold crucifix pendant and mitre, or bishop's hat, and with his index finger pointed towards the sky, the image was the topic of several questions during the Vatican's daily conclave briefing on Saturday. It came as cardinals from around the world gathered in Rome ahead of the conclave, the secret election process to choose a new leader of the 1.4-billion-strong Catholic church, and just days after Trump joked he would ""like to be pope"". Former Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi said the image was shameful. ""This is an image that offends believers, insults institutions and shows that the leader of the right-wing world enjoys clowning around,"" Renzi wrote on X. In the US, the New York State Catholic Conference, which represents the bishops of the state, accused Trump of mockery. ""There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President,"" they wrote. ""We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter. Do not mock us."" Italian and Spanish news reports lamented its poor taste and said it was offensive, given that the period of official mourning was still under way. Italy's left-leaning La Repubblica also featured the image on its homepage Saturday with a commentary accusing Trump of ""pathological megalomania"". Asked to respond to the criticism, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said that Trump had ""been a staunch champion for Catholics and religious liberty"". Trump, who is not a Catholic and does not attend church regularly, attended the funeral of Pope Francis in Rome eight days ago. Senator Lindsey Graham, a close Trump ally, piled on what the New York Catholic leaders had branded mockery. ""I was excited to hear that President Trump is open to the idea of being the next Pope. This would truly be a dark horse candidate, but I would ask the papal conclave and Catholic faithful to keep an open mind about this possibility!"" he wrote on X. ""The first Pope-U.S. President combination has many upsides. Watching for white smoke .... Trump MMXXVIII!"" Jack Posobiec, a prominent far-right influencer and Trump ally who recently participated in a Catholic prayer event in March at Trump's Florida resort, also defended the president. ""I'm Catholic.

The charges followed a 2023 BBC documentary and ongoing podcast series that revealed the three of them benefited from a sophisticated operation in which recruiters scouted young men for sex in cities including London, New York, Paris and Marrakesh. The BBC has since revealed that more than 40 men, including Abercrombie & Fitch employees, have now come forward with civil allegations of sexual assault, drugging or rape - with claims dating back to 1992, the year Mr Jeffries started running the company. Civil trial lawyers have told the BBC their clients are dismayed at the criminal court's decision that Mr Jeffries is unfit to stand trial. ""We've been speaking with our clients who are disappointed by the decision and still want justice,"" said Brad Edwards and Brittany Henderson, representing 26 alleged victims. Brian Bieber, Mr Jeffries' criminal defence lawyer, said his client had recently been evaluated by doctors who determined he had Alzheimer's disease, Lewy Body disease, and the residual effects of a traumatic brain injury requiring around-the-clock care, which ""will almost certainly worsen over time"". Dr Cheryl Paradis, the US prosecutor's medical expert, also independently assessed Mr Jeffries. According to court papers, she found he was unable to understand the nature and consequences of the proceedings against him or to properly assist in his defence. ""His memory impairment almost certainly would cause him to be unable to accurately recall key events and details,"" Dr Paradis said, according to the court filings, ""and severely limit his capacity to provide accurate and reliable information"".

They are trying to identify someone who can follow Pope Francis and make the 2,000-year-old Catholic Church credible and relevant today, especially to young people. The cardinals held their last day of pre-conclave meetings Tuesday morning during which Francis' fisherman's ring and his official seal were destroyed in one of the final formal rites of the transition of his pontificate to the next. This is a photo gallery curated by AP photo editors.",35.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,62848_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Pope Leo XIV is officially opening his pontificate in a ceremony Sunday that blends ancient ritual, evocative symbols and a nod to modern-day celebrity, all in front of the presidents, princes and tens of thousands of people expected to pack St. Peter's Square to celebrate history's first American pope. Leo will start the day by taking his first tour through the piazza in the popemobile. The open-topped vehicle has become synonymous with the papacy's global reach and mediatic draw, used at home and abroad to bring popes close to their flock. It was here that Pope Francis took his last popemobile ride on Easter Sunday, and it was on the back of a modified popemobile that Francis' casket was brought across Rome last month to its final resting place. Leo, the 69-year-old Chicago-born Augustinian missionary, seems a bit more timid than Francis. But all eyes will be on how he manages the throngs of pilgrims, tourists and curiosity-seekers, and the babies who will inevitably be passed up to him for him to bless. After the festive public tour in the square, Leo goes into the basilica to begin the solemn ceremony to inaugurate his ministry in a series of rites that emphasize the service that he's called to offer to lead the Catholic Church. He prays first at the tomb of St. Peter, considered to be the first pope, under the basilica's main altar and then processes out to St. Peter's Square for the Mass. Strict diplomatic protocol dictates the seating arrangements, with both the United States and Peru getting front-row seats thanks to Leo's dual citizenship. U.S. Vice President JD Vance, a Catholic convert who tangled with Francis over the Trump administration's mass migrant deportation plans, is leading the American delegation along with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Peruvian President Dina Boluarte is one of around a dozen heads of state attending, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. During the Mass, Leo will receive the two potent symbols of the papacy: the lambswool stole, known as a pallium, and the fisherman's ring. The pallium, draped across his shoulders, symbolizes the pastor carrying his flock as the pope carries the faithful. The ring, which becomes Leo's official seal, harks back to Jesus' call to the apostle Peter to cast his fishing nets. The other symbolically important moment of the Mass is the representational rite of obedience to Leo: Whereas in the past all cardinals would vow obedience to the new pope, more recent papal installations involve representatives of cardinals, bishops, priests, deacons, nuns, married couples and young people participating in the rite. In the days since his historic election, Leo has already sketched out some of his key priorities as pope, emphasizing a message of peace, so it's not known if he'll use his installation homily as a mission statement as some of his predecessors did. In his Oct. 22, 1978 installation homily, St. John Paul II uttered a phrase that became something of a refrain of his pontificate and the ones that followed: ""Be not afraid! Open wide the doors to Christ!"" Pope Benedict XVI quoted his predecessor during his installation homily, on April 25, 2005, and offered a meditation on the symbols of church unity represented by the pallium and fisherman's ring. Francis' installation homily, on March 19, 2013, focused on the need to protect the environment, an early hint of what would become one of the priorities of his pontificate. Leo has vowed all efforts to find peaceful ends to the wars in Ukraine, Gaza and elsewhere. But as a priority, he has also identified the challenges to humanity posed by artificial intelligence, making the parallel to the challenges to human dignity posed by the industrial revolution that were confronted by his namesake, Pope Leo XIII, who was pope from 1878-1903. After the homily and at the end of the Mass, Leo will offer a final blessing and then go into the basilica to greet the heads of the more than 150 official delegations attending. Security is expected to be tight, as it was for Francis' funeral on April 26, which drew an estimated 250,000 people. Rome authorities are planning for another 250,000 on Sunday. The piazza and main boulevard leading to it, and two nearby piazzas have been set up with giant television screens, and dozens of portable toilets have been erected in a nearby park. ___ Associated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP's collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

In his first formal audience, Leo made clear he will follow in the modernizing reforms of Pope Francis to make the Catholic Church inclusive, attentive to the faithful and a church that looks out for the ""least and rejected."" Citing Francis repeatedly, he told the cardinals who elected him that he was fully committed to the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, the 1960s meetings that modernized the church. He identified AI as one of the main issues facing humanity, saying it poses challenges to defending human dignity, justice and labor. Leo referred to AI in explaining the choice of his name: His namesake, Pope Leo XIII, was pope from 1878 to 1903 and laid the foundation for modern Catholic social thought. He did so most famously with his 1891 encyclical Rerum Novarum, which addressed workers' rights and capitalism at the dawn of the industrial age. The late pope criticized both laissez-faire capitalism and state-centric socialism, giving shape to a distinctly Catholic vein of economic teaching. In his remarks, Leo said he identified with his predecessor, who addressed the great social question of the day in the encyclical. ""In our own day, the church offers everyone the treasury of its social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for the defence of human dignity, justice and labour,"" he said.",35.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,newsapi.ai,en ,9153_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"VICTORVILLE, Calif. (AP) -- Three members of a Southern California family were charged Wednesday with torturing six foster children between the ages of 4 and 16 over a span of years, prosecutors said. Kenneth Michael Key and Tina Marie Key, both 60, and their 23-year-old daughter Katlynn Marresa Key were arrested this week in Victorville, according to the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office. It wasn't immediately known if they have lawyers. Messages were sent to the county public defender's office asking if its attorneys are representing the defendants. The investigation began Feb. 13 when authorities received a tip from a child abuse hotline, said sheriff's spokesperson Mara Rodriguez. The children were immediately removed from the home, Rodriguez said. Prosecutors say the Keys subjected all six children to years of physical, emotional and mental abuse. ""The abuse included daily beatings, strangulation to the point of unconsciousness, and punishments of withholding food and water from the children for a period of days,"" the District Attorney's office said in a statement. All three defendants are charged with torture and child abuse. They are being held in lieu of $1 million bail each. Authorities haven't said how the alleged abuse went on for years without being detected. Messages were left for San Bernardino County Children and Family Services, which oversees the foster family programs. The investigation was reminiscent of the case of David and Louise Turpin, the California couple who pleaded guilty in 2019 to torture and years of abuse that included shackling some of their 13 children to beds and starving them to the point they stopped growing.",27.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,42623_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Verlyn Klinkenborg Editorial Observer column says recording industry has been alienating young music lovers with its all-out war against music file-swapping, when it should be developing means by which they can purchase and download music over Internet",998.0,,,,,,media-combined-all_media2_v2,,en ,65890_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Vet, 85, Dies From Infection Contracted During Hurricane Florence",26.0,,,,,,media-combined-all_media2_v2,,en ,18280_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"Victories in an array of federal, state and local races took decades of organizing and legal battles.

The moment he watched the largest investigation in department history get wiped away with the stroke of a pen -- on President Donald Trump's first day back in the White House -- Romano knew he had to leave. ""I knew on January 20th, when the pardons were announced, that I needed to find my way out,"" Romano said in an interview with The Associated Press weeks after his resignation from the Justice Department. ""It would be untenable for me to stay, given the pardons and given the false narratives that were being spread about January 6."" Now, Romano says he fears Trump's decision to pardon even the most violent rioters -- whom his own vice president once said ""obviously"" shouldn't be pardoned -- could embolden right-wing extremists and encourage future political violence. ""The way that the pardons have been received by the January 6th defendants and by other right-wing extremists, as I understand it, is to recognize that if you support the president and if you commit violence in support of the president, that he might insulate you from the consequences, that he might protect you from the criminal justice system,"" Romano said. ""And so that might encourage people to commit these sort of acts."" Romano is among dozens of Justice Department lawyers who have resigned, been pushed out or fired in the weeks since Trump's new leadership has taken over and begun making sweeping changes to align the law enforcement agency with the priorities of the Republican president whom the department once prosecuted. Trump's return to the White House has ushered in a dizzying change for many in the Justice Department, but perhaps few have felt it more than the lawyers who spent years working on the largest-scale serious attack on the Capitol since the war of 1812. As a deputy chief of the now-disbanded Capitol Siege Section that prosecuted the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, Romano had a close-up view of the evidence, including harrowing videos and court testimony detailing the violence that unfolded when the pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol as lawmakers met to certify former President Joe Biden's 2020 victory. Romano joined the Justice Department in 2007 straight out of law school, and was working in the section in Washington that handles public corruption cases on Jan. 6, 2021. He recalled watching the riot unfold on television, and quickly deciding he wanted to help with the prosecution of what he described as a ""crime of historic proportions."" Trump's pardons cemented the president's yearslong campaign to rewrite the history of the Jan. 6 attack. While vying to return to the White House, Trump repeatedly downplayed the violence that left more than 100 police officers injured, and lauded the rioters as patriots and hostages whom he contended were unfairly persecuted by the Justice Department for their political beliefs. Only two Capitol riot defendants were acquitted of all charges, which Trump supporters cited as evidence that Washington juries can't be fair and impartial. Some Jan. 6 defendants are now considering running for office. The scope of Trump's clemency hours after the inauguration came as a surprise to many, considering the president had suggested in the weeks prior that instead of blanket pardons, he would look at the Jan. 6 defendants on a case-by-case basis. Trump's proclamation described the prosecution as ""a grave national injustice"" and declared that the pardons would begin ""a process of national reconciliation."" Trump's pardons led to the release from prison of the leaders of far-right extremist groups convicted of orchestrating violent plots to stop the peaceful transfer of power as well as rioters convicted of brutal attacks on police -- many of whose crimes were captured on camera and broadcast on live TV. Trump has defended his pardons, saying the sentences handed down for actions that day were ""ridiculous and excessive"" and that ""these are people who actually love our country."" Romano said the notion that the Jan. 6 defendants were not treated fairly by in the justice system or not given the due process they were entitled is ""simply not true."" In many cases, he said prosecutors had overwhelming evidence because the defendants ""filmed themselves proudly committing crimes."" ""They had the full protection of rights guaranteed to them by the American justice system and the Constitution,"" Romano said. ""It was my experience when dealing with these cases and seeing the way that the rioters and some of their attorneys behaved in court, that their take was that they should be treated like heroes and not prosecuted at all."" Despite the pardons, Romano said he still believes that the Capitol Siege Section's work was important because it left behind a ""historical record"" of what happened on Jan. 6 that cannot be changed. ""In light of the efforts to whitewash the history of that day, in light of the efforts for people to lie about that day for their own benefit, which is what's happening, it's important that people really understand the truth about what happened on January 6th,"" he said.",27.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-test,newsapi.ai,en ,69159_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"WASHINGTON (AP) -- The FBI has reassigned several agents who were photographed kneeling during a racial justice protest in Washington that followed the 2020 death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers, two people familiar with the matter said Wednesday. The reasons for the moves were not immediately clear, though they come as the FBI under Director Kash Patel has been undertaking broad personnel changes and Deputy Director Dan Bongino has repeatedly sought to reassure supporters of President Donald Trump who are critical of the bureau. ""The Director and I are working on a number of significant initiatives to ensure that the mistakes of the past are never repeated, and that many of your open questions are answered,"" Bongino wrote in one recent post on X, without elaborating. The reassignments, first reported by CNN, were confirmed to The Associated Press by two people familiar with the matter who insisted on anonymity to discuss non-public personnel moves. An FBI spokesman declined to comment. The photographs at issue showed a group of agents taking a knee during a demonstration following the May 2020 killing of Floyd, which sparked widespread anger after millions of people saw video of his arrest. It led to a national reckoning over policing and racial injustice. The kneeling angered some in the FBI but was also understood as a possible de-escalation tactic during a time of widespread protests, and the agents were not punished at the time. Patel pledged at his January confirmation hearing that he would not ""go backwards"" in seeking retribution on perceived adversaries. But even before he was sworn in, there was concern that the Justice Department was poised to do exactly that, including by demanding a list of the thousands of agents who worked on investigations into the Jan. 6,2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, a request seen by some as a possible precursor to a purge at the bureau.",27.0,,,,,,api_articles-2025_05_21-train,newsapi.ai,en ,62084_media2_v2_25_05_21_test,"WILLIAMSTOWN, Ky. (AP) -- As the colossal replica of the biblical Noah's Ark rises incongruously from the countryside of northern Kentucky, Ken Ham gives the presentation he's often repeated. The ark stretches one and a half football fields long -- ""the biggest freestanding timber-frame structure in the world,"" Ham says. It holds three massive decks with wooden cages, food-storage urns, life-size animal models and other exhibits. It's all designed to argue that the biblical story was literally true -- that an ancient Noah really could have built such a sophisticated ship. That Noah and a handful of family members really could have sustained thousands of animals for months, floating above a global flood that drowned everyone else in the wicked world. ""That's what we wanted to do through many of the exhibits, to show the feasibility of the ark,"" says Ham, the organizer behind the Ark Encounter theme park and related attractions. And with that, he furthers his goal to assert the entire biblical Book of Genesis should be interpreted as written -- that humans were created by God's fiat on the sixth day of creation on an Earth that is only 6,000 years old. All this defies the overwhelming consensus of modern scientists -- that the Earth developed over billions of years in ""deep time"" and that humans and other living things evolved over millions of years from earlier species. But Ham wants to succeed where he believes William Jennings Bryan failed. Bryan, a populist politician and fundamentalist champion, helped the prosecution in the famous Scopes Monkey Trial, which took place 100 years ago this July in Dayton, Tennessee. Bryan's side won in court -- gaining the conviction of public schoolteacher John Scopes for violating state law against teaching human evolution. But Bryan was widely seen as suffering a humiliating defeat in public opinion, with his sputtering attempts to explain the Bible's spectacular miracles and enigmas. For Ham, Bryan's problem was not that he defended the Bible. It's that he didn't defend it well enough, interpreting parts of it metaphorically rather than literally. ""It showed people around the world that Christians don't really believe the Bible -- they can't answer questions to defend the Christian faith,"" Ham says. ""We want you to know that we've got answers,"" Ham adds, speaking in the accent of his native Australia. Ham is founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis, which opened the Ark Encounter in 2016. The Christian theme park includes a zoo, zip lines and other attractions surrounding the ark. Nearly a decade earlier, Answers in Genesis opened a Creation Museum in nearby Petersburg, Kentucky, where exhibits similarly argue for a literal interpretation of the biblical creation narrative. Visitors are greeted with a diorama depicting children and dinosaurs interacting peacefully in the Garden of Eden. The group also produces books, podcasts, videos and homeschooling curricula. ""The main message of both attractions is basically this: The history in the Bible is true,"" Ham says. ""That's why the message of the Gospel based on that history is true."" If Ham is the most prominent torchbearer for creationism today, he's hardly alone. Polls generally show that somewhere between 1 in 6 and 1 in 3 Americans hold beliefs consistent with young-Earth creationism, depending on how the question is asked. A 2024 Gallup poll found that 37% of U.S. adults agreed ""God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so."" That percentage is down a little, but not dramatically, from its mid-40s level between the 1980s and 2012. Rates are higher among religious and politically conservative respondents. ""Scopes lost, but the public sense was that the fundamentalists lost"" and were dwindling away, says William Vance Trollinger Jr., a professor of history and religious studies at the University of Dayton in Ohio. But the reach of Answers in Genesis demonstrates that ""a significant subset of Americans hold to young-Earth creationism,"" says Trollinger, co-author with his wife, English professor Susan Trollinger, of the 2016 book ""Righting America at the Creation Museum."" Leading science organizations say it's crucial to teach evolution and old-Earth geology. Evolution is ""one of the most securely established of scientific facts,"" says the National Academy of Sciences. The Geological Society of America similarly states: ""Evolution and the directly related concept of deep time are essential parts of science curricula."" The issue has been repeatedly legislated and litigated since the Scopes trial. Tennessee repealed its anti-evolution law in 1967. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1968 that a similar Arkansas law was an unconstitutional promotion of religion, and in 1987 it overturned a Louisiana law requiring that creationism be taught alongside evolution. A 2005 federal court similarly forbade a Pennsylvania school district from presenting ""intelligent design,"" a different approach to creationism that argues life is too complex to have evolved by chance. Some lawmakers have recently revived the issue. North Dakota's Senate this year defeated a bill that would have allowed public school teaching on intelligent design. A new West Virginia law vaguely allows teachers to answer student questions about ""scientific theories of how the universe and/or life came to exist."" The Scopes trial set a template for today's culture-war battles, with efforts to expand vouchers for attendees of private schools, including Christian ones teaching creationism, and to introduce Bible-infused lessons and Ten Commandments displays in public schools. Such efforts alarm science educators like Bill Nye, the television ""Science Guy,"" whose 2014 debate with Ham was billed as ""Scopes II"" and has generated millions of video views online. ""What you get out of religion, as I understand it, is this wonderful sense of community,"" Nye says. ""Community is very much part of the human experience. But the Earth is not 4,000 years old. To teach that idea to children with any backing -- be it religious or these remarkable ideas that humans are not related to, for example, chimpanzees or bonobos -- is breathtaking. It's silly. And so we fight this fight."" Nye says evidence is overwhelming, ranging from fossils layers to the distribution of species. ""There are trees older than Mr. Ham thinks the world is,"" he adds. One weekday in March, visitors milled about the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, which draw an estimated 1.5 million visits per year (including duplicate visits). ""We are churchgoing, Bible-believing Christians,"" says Louise van Niekerk of Ontario, Canada, who traveled with her family to the Creation Museum. She's concerned that her four children are faced with a public-school curriculum permeated with evolution. The Creation Museum, van Niekerk says, ""is encouraging a robust alternate worldview from what they're being taught,"" she says. Many religious groups accommodate evolution, though. Gallup's survey found that of Americans who believe in evolution, more say it happened with God's guidance (34%) than without it (24%). Catholic popes have shown openness to evolution while insisting the human soul is a divine creation. Many liberal Protestants and even some evangelicals have accepted at least parts of evolutionary theory. But among many evangelicals, creationist belief is strong. The Southern Baptist Convention, the nation's largest evangelical body, has promoted creationist beliefs in its publications. The Assemblies of God asserts that Adam and Eve were historical people. Some evangelical schools, such as Bryan's namesake college in Tennessee, affirm creationist beliefs in their doctrinal statements. Just as Ham says the creation story is important to defend a larger truth about the Christian Gospel, critics say more is at stake than just the human origin story. The Trollingers wrote that the Answers in Genesis enterprise is an ""arsenal in the culture war."" They say it aligns with Christian nationalism, promoting conservative views in theology, family and gender roles, and casting doubt on other areas of scientific consensus, such as human-made climate change. Nye, too, says the message fits into a more general and ominous anti-science movement. ""Nobody is talking about climate change right now,"" he laments. Exhibits promote a ""vengeful and violent"" God, says Susan Trollinger, noting the cross on the ark's large door, which analogizes that just as the wicked perished in the flood, those without Christ face eternal hellfire. And there are more parallels to 1925. Bryan had declaimed, ""How can teachers tell students that they came from monkeys and not expect them to act like monkeys?"" The Creation Museum, which depicts violence, drugs and other social ills as resulting from belief in evolution, is ""Bryan's social message on steroids,"" wrote Edward Larson in a 2020 afterword to ""Summer for the Gods,"" a Pulitzer Prize-winning account of the Scopes trial. The protests that initially greeted the museum and ark projects, from secularist groups who considered them embarrassments to Kentucky, have ebbed. When the state initially denied a tourism tax rebate for the Ark Encounter because of its religious nature, a federal court overturned that ruling. Representing Ham's group was a Louisiana lawyer named Mike Johnson -- now speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Despite those blips, Ham's massive ministry charges forward. Expansion is next, with AIG attractions planned for Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and Branson, Missouri -- both tourist hubs offering more opportunities to promote creationism to the masses. Todd Bigelow, visiting the Ark Encounter from Mesa, Arizona, says the exhibit vividly evoked the safety that Noah and his family must have felt. It helped him appreciate ""the opportunities God gives us to live the life we have, and hopefully make good choices and repent when we need to,"" he says. ""I think,"" Bigelow adds, ""God and science can go hand in hand."" ___ Associated Press writer Dylan Lovan contributed. ___ Associated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP's collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

They're typically vanquished by a collaboration of cowboy sacrifice and eloquent leaders who restore order under the stars and stripes. The Eternaut, Netflix's new sci-fi series that became a global hit this month, breaks this mould: giant alien bugs controlled by an unseen extraterrestrial overlord take over Buenos Aires. Victory always seems far away - it's not clear that humanity will triumph. Like the 1950s comic it's based on, the series does not merely transpose alien invasion tropes on a new geography: it rewrites them. The Eternaut isn't about a lone hero who saves the day - it's a story about how ordinary Argentinians face existential threat. There is no single saviour in the story, according to the author, Héctor Germán Oesterheld: ""The true hero of The Eternaut is a collective hero, a human group. It thus reflects, though without previous intent, my intimate belief: the only valid hero is the hero 'in group', never the individual hero, the hero alone."" The series' tagline adopts this ethos: Nadie se salva solo - nobody is saved alone. The premise is strange even by sci-fi standards. The plot of the comic features a lethal snowfall, robot alien pawns, a time machine and a never-seen overlord species known only as Them. And yet it has struck a global chord: the Netflix adaptation captured 10.8m views worldwide in its first week. It made the top 10 in 87 countries. And it has not left the global non-English top 10 since its release. Publishers are rushing to reissue an out-of-print English translation of the book upon which it is based. In Argentina, the original comic has long been a cult classic. Oesterheld's decision to anchor the story in the streets of Buenos Aires allowed the work, illustrated by Francisco Solano López, to resonate deeply. It reflects the fears and dreams of mid-century Argentina shaped by the new social mobility led by organised labour and public universities. It is permeated by the belief that scientific progress could lift people and country by their bootstraps. If the original gave workers reading the comic on their daily commute a dose of optimism, the new series reflects a far more battered society. This generational shift is visible in Juan Salvo, the eponymous eternaut. In the 1957-59 version he was a young family man, the prosperous owner of a small manufacturing business, married to a beautiful housewife and the doting father of a cherubic daughter. In 2025 Salvo is in his 60s, a war veteran with PTSD, divorced, and the father of an independent teenager who is likely a sleeper agent for Them. The shift matters. The Argentina reflected in this mirror is older; it's scarred and haunted by decades of democratic breakdowns, dictatorship, hyperinflation and economic collapse. But it is also a story of resilience. As the local saying goes: Estamos atados con alambre - we're holding it together with wire - celebrating an ability to improvise with whatever material is at hand. In The Eternaut, ""we read a celebratory version of our customs and social organisation, in an artistic format - the comic - that shares some of the conventions of both 'highbrow' art and popular and mass art,"" writes literary scholar Soledad Quereilhac. The series maintains, and even elevates, this celebration of argentinidad, or being Argentinian - from humour and music to sociability and card games. Buenos Aires is not just a backdrop, it's a protagonist. The characters fight on streets that remain central to our daily commutes and political battles. These arteries form a line of continuity in a text that has constantly acquired new interpretations as it travels through time, just like its protagonist. That successive generations have found new meaning in The Eternaut, despite vastly different circumstances, is part of what makes the text a classic, according to cultural critic Marcelo Figueras. And the mirror The Eternaut holds up to Argentinian society is far broader than just the story within the comic. When books are banned, they often take on new symbolic power. The Little Prince, a book partly inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's time in Argentina, was banned by the 1976-83 dictatorship, giving it a weight beyond the somewhat naive tale. The Eternaut is similarly charged - Oesterheld, his four daughters, sons-in-law and two unborn grandchildren were among the 30,000 ""disappeared"" in the dictatorship. The faces of Oesterheld and his daughters have been pasted on Netflix posters lining Buenos Aires' streets - it is a temporally jarring moment worthy of the comic itself. Like the protagonist Salvo, the author - whose remains have never been recovered - is lost in time. And yet the new adaptation makes no mention of dictatorship. For some, this omission may read as historical erasure. But it may also be deliberate - a more general interpretation of collective trauma that sidesteps Argentina's polarised culture wars in which the politics of memory are dismissed as ideological excess or, more recently, as ""woke"" distortions by the president, Javier Milei. Or perhaps the absence is the statement. The Eternaut's ideology was always coded in metaphor. Snow falls silently lethal. Alien overlords pull strings. Some read it as a veiled indictment of the military bombing of civilians and the later coup that ousted Juan Perón in 1955. In portraying a dignified, resourceful working class - Peronist by implication - it defied an era in which even saying Perón's name was forbidden. In the series, that appreciative perspective has shifted to Argentina's besieged middle class, once the pillar of the country's exceptionalism, now eroded by inflation and austerity. This too is tacitly political. In Milei's Argentina, where public universities are defunded, cultural institutions gutted and social programmes under attack, the show's message of collective survival, of interclass solidarity, is its own quiet rebellion. Though filmed before Milei's election, its ethos cuts against the libertarian gospel of radical individualism. Even the tagline - Nobody is saved alone - feels like resistance. The symbolism has been adopted by scientists protesting against austerity budget cuts who recently demonstrated against ""scienticide"" wearing Eternaut-style gas masks. Salvation, hinted at in Salvo's very name, is the story's elusive goal. The comic ends ambiguously, in a temporal loop. Salvo is reunited with his family, but the aliens are not defeated. There is no cathartic American-style victory. Instead, another alien race touched by Salvo's struggle offers him cold comfort: humanity's fruitless resistance is inspiration for intergalactic intelligent species fighting against Them. It's not a happy ending. But it's not hopeless. The Eternaut carries on, buoyed up by human connection, friendship and stubborn resistance.

Many eagle-eyed fans have combed through the footage, mainly the backgrounds of the arenas, and found references to other Marvel characters like Dazzler, Daredevil, Thor, Wasp, Luna Snow and The Fantastic Four. Again, it's the Marvel universe, so those could just be fun easter eggs or indications of something more. Here's Arc producer Takeshi Yamanaka on the roster of Marvel characters: ""There are so many amazing Marvel characters that it was quite a struggle to choose our roster, but we did have some criteria for the selection process. First and foremost, we wanted to include characters who we feel to be the 'face' of Marvel. At the same time, we also needed to select characters that would give us a balance of battle types and styles. Lastly, we wanted to sprinkle in a few surprises and leave room for characters who have never been playable in a fighting game before."" So the idea is that they're attempting to feature heroes that are outside the expansive roster of the history of the Marvel vs. Capcom series, in addition to other fighters we've seen over the years. Ms. Marvel comes to mind as a character that fits that bill (unless I'm missing her appearance somewhere). Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls will be out sometime in 2026. It will join 2025's very high-profile Marvel game, Marvel Rivals. Of the eight character reveals, Ms. Marvel, Ghost Rider and Doctor Doom aren't playable in Rivals, albeit that game adds new heroes and villains every single month. Marvel is expanding its footprint at a time when its rival DC is struggling, from the failure of Suicide Squad to the cancellation of a Wonder Woman game. DC's main fighting game series is Injustice, but it's hard to imagine Injustice 3 could match the hype we're seeing from fans here. It's a huge deal, and hopefully we'll hear and see more from the game soon.",39.0,,,,,,,newsapi.ai, ,4656453,"Zambia's government will pay farmers 3% more for white corn this season than they were previously offered, even as officials project the harvest will more than double from last year's 16-year low.

Maron was a veteran stand-up comic who had dabbled in radio when he started the show in 2009, at a time when stand-ups were trying out the form in big numbers, and many listeners still downloaded episodes on to iPods. The show early on was often about Maron talking through his beefs with fellow comedians, but it soon stood out and became a widely heard and medium-defining show with its thoughtful, probing longform interviews of cultural figures.

Looking for Thursday's Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here: There's a new game of Strands to play every day. The game will present you with a six by eight grid of letters. The aim is to find a group of words that have something in common, and you'll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue. You'll also need to find a special word called a spangram. This tells you what the words have in common. The spangram links at least two sides of the board, but it may not start or end there. While the theme words will not be a proper name, the spangram can be a proper name. When you find the spangram, it will remain highlighted in yellow. Every letter is used once in one of the theme words and spangram. You can connect letters vertically, horizontally and diagonally, and it's possible to switch directions in the middle of a word. If you're playing on a touchscreen, double tap the last letter to submit your guess. If you find three valid words of at least four letters that are not part of the theme, you'll unlock the Hint button. Clicking this will highlight the letters that make up one of the theme words. Be warned: You'll need to be on your toes. Sometimes you'll need to fill the missing word(s) in a phrase. On other days, the game may revolve around synonyms or homophones. The difficulty will vary from day to day, and the puzzle creators will try to surprise you sometimes. Here are the first two letters of every theme word in today's puzzle. They're ordered from left to right, then top to bottom by any letter of the word appearing for the first time: Before I reveal the other the full word list, I'll first tell you the spangram and show you where that is on the grid.

But human systems aren't games -- they're stories. The consequences of confusing the two will define the next decade. Agentic AI is being built on the assumption that the world is a game -- one where every decision can be parsed into players, strategies, outcomes, and a final payoff. This isn't a metaphor. It's code. In multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), agents use Q-functions to estimate the value of actions in a given state to converge toward an optimal policy. MARL underpins many of today's agentic systems. A Q-function is a mathematical model that tells an AI agent how valuable a particular action is in a given context -- essentially, it's a way of learning what to do and when to maximize long-term reward. But ""optimal"" depends entirely on the game's structure -- what's rewarded and penalized and what constitutes ""success."" Q-learning becomes a hall of mirrors when the world isn't a game. Optimization spirals into exploitation. MARL becomes even more hazardous because agents must not only learn their policies but also anticipate the strategies of others, often in adversarial or rapidly shifting contexts, as seen in systems like OpenAI Five or AlphaStar. At the heart of agentic AI -- AI designed to act autonomously -- is a set of training systems built on game theory: multi-agent reinforcement learning, adversarial modeling, and competitive optimization. While tools like ChatGPT generate content based on probability and pattern-matching, agentic AI systems are being built to make autonomous decisions and pursue goals -- a shift that dramatically raises both potential and risk. Why Agentic AI Will Soon Make ChatGPT Look Like A Simple Calculator outlines just how different -- and disruptive -- this new generation of AI will be. The machine learns to act by maximizing rewards inside a simulated environment governed by rules and outcomes. The problem is that human life doesn't (and more importantly, shouldn't be induced to) work that way. Game theory is a powerful tool for analyzing structured interactions, such as poker, price wars, and Cold War standoffs. Those are not games. They are stories. And storytelling isn't ornamental -- it's structural. We are, as many have argued, not just homo sapiens but homo narrans: the storytelling species. Through narrative, we encode memory, make meaning, extend trust, and shape identity. Stories aren't how we escape uncertainty -- they're how we navigate it. They are the bridge between information and action, between fact and value. To train machines to optimize for narrow wins inside rigid systems is to ignore the central mechanism by which humans survive uncertainty: We don't game the future -- we narrate our way through it. And training agents to ""win"" in an environment with no final state isn't just shortsighted -- it's dangerous. Game theory assumes a closed loop: Simon Sinek famously argued that business is an ""infinite game."" But agentic AI doesn't play infinite games -- it optimizes finite simulations. The result is a system with power and speed, but lacking intuition for context collapse. Even John Nash, the father of equilibrium theory, understood its fragility. His later work acknowledged that real-life decision-making is warped by psychology, asymmetry, and noise. We've ignored that nuance. But in real life -- especially in business -- the players change, the rules mutate, and the payoffs are subjective. Even worse, the goals themselves evolve mid-game. In AI development, reinforcement learning doesn't account for that. It doesn't handle shifting values. It handles reward functions. So, we get agents trained to pursue narrow, static goals in an inherently fluid and relational environment. That's how you get emergent failures -- agents exploiting loopholes, corrupting signals, or spiraling into self-reinforcing error loops. We're not teaching AI to think. We're teaching it to compete in a hallucinated tournament. This is the crux: humans are not rational players in closed systems. We don't maximize. We mythologize. Evolution doesn't optimize like machines do -- it tolerates failure, ambiguity, and irrationality as long as the species endures. It is selected not just for survival and cooperation but also for story-making because narrative is how humans make sense of uncertainty. People don't start companies or empires solely to ""win."" We often do it to be remembered. We blow up careers to protect pride. We endure pain to fulfill prophecy. These are not strategies -- they're spiritual motivations. And they're either illegible or invisible to machine learning systems that see the world as a closed loop of inputs and rewards. We pursue status, signal loyalty, perform identity, and court ruin -- sometimes on purpose. You can simulate ""greed"" or ""dominance"" by tweaking rewards, but these are surface-level proxies. As Stuart Russell notes, the appearance of intent is not intent. Machines do not want -- they merely weigh. When agents start interacting under misaligned or rigid utility functions, the system doesn't stabilize. It fractures. Inter-agent error cascades, opaque communications, and emerging instability are the hallmarks of agents trying to navigate a reality they were never built to understand. Imagine a patient sitting across from a doctor with a series of ambiguous symptoms -- fatigue, brain fog, and minor chest pain. The patient has a family history of heart disease, but their test results are technically ""within range."" Nothing triggers a hard diagnostic threshold. An AI assistant, trained on thousands of cases and reward-optimized for diagnostic accuracy, might suggest no immediate intervention -- maybe recommend sleep, hydration, and follow-up in six months. The physician, though, hesitates. Not because of data but because of tone, posture, and eye contact, because the patient reminds them of someone, because something feels off, even though it doesn't compute. So, the doctor ordered the CT scan against the algorithm's advice. They find the early-stage arterial blockage. They save the patient's life. Why did the doctor do it? Not because the model predicted it. Because humans don't operate on probability alone -- we act on a hunch, harm avoidance, pattern distortion, and story. We're trained not only to optimize for outcomes but also to prevent regret. A system trained to ""win"" would have scored itself ideally. It followed the rules. But perfect logic in an imperfect world doesn't make you intelligent -- it makes you brittle. The fundamental flaw in agentic AI isn't technical -- it's conceptual. It's not that the systems don't work; they're working with the wrong metaphor. We didn't build these agents to think. We built them to play. We didn't build agents for reality. We built them for legibility. Game theory became the scaffolding because it provided a structure, offering bounded rules, rational actors, and defined outcomes. It gave engineers something clean to optimize. But intelligence doesn't emerge from structure; it arises from adaptation within disorder. The gamification of our informational matrix isn't neutral. It's an ideological architecture that recodes ambiguity as inefficiency and remaps agency into pre-scored behavior. This isn't just a technical concern -- it's an ethical one. As AI systems embed values through design, the question becomes: whose values? The Ethics of AI: Balancing Innovation with Responsibility explores this tension between progress and principle, and why getting it wrong has real-world consequences. It's not that these systems are ""wrong,"" it's that the vehicle values most of us wouldn't consent to if made explicit. Optimization is not the truth. It's perspective, smuggled in as precision. In the wild, intelligence isn't about winning. It's about not disappearing. It's about adjusting your behavior when the ground shifts under you because it will. No perfect endgames exist in nature, business, politics, and human relationships; they are just survivable next steps. Agentic AI, trained on games, expects clarity. But the world doesn't offer clarity. It offers pressure. And pressure doesn't reward precision -- it rewards persistence. This is the failure point. We're asking machines to act intelligently inside a metaphor never built to explain real life. We simulate cognition in a sandbox while the storm rages outside its walls. If we want beneficial machines, we need to abandon the myth of the game and embrace the truth of the environment: open systems, shifting players, evolving values. Intelligence isn't about control. It's about adjustment, not the ability to dominate, but the ability to remain. While we continue to build synthetic minds to win fictional games, the actual value surfaces elsewhere: in machines that don't need to want. They need to move. Mechanized labor -- autonomous systems in logistics, agriculture, manufacturing, and defense -- isn't trying to win anything. It's trying to function. To survive conditions. To optimize inputs into physical output. There's no illusion of consciousness -- just a cold, perfect feedback loop between action and outcome. Unlike synthetic cognition, mechanized labor solves problems the market understands: how to scale without hiring, operate in unstable environments, and cut carbon and cost simultaneously. Companies like John Deere are already deploying autonomous tractors that don't need roads or road signs. Amazon has doubled its robotics fleet in three years. These machines aren't trying to win. They're trying not to break. And that's why capital is quietly pouring into it. The next trillion-dollar boom won't be in artificial general intelligence. It'll be in autonomous physicality. The platforms we think of as background are about to become intelligent actors in their own right. ""We have become tools of our tools,"" wrote Thoreau in ""Walden"" in 1854, just when the industrial revolution began to transform not just Concord, but America, Europe, and the world. Intriguingly, Thoreau includes mortgage and rent as ""modern tools"" to which we voluntarily enslave ourselves. What Thoreau was pointing to with his experiment in the woods was how our infrastructure, the material conditions of our existence, comes to seem to us ""natural"" and inevitable, and that we may be sacrificing more than we realize to maintain that infrastructure. AI - intelligent, autonomous tools - represents a categorical shift in how we coexist with our infrastructure. Infrastructure isn't just how we move people, goods, and data. It's no longer just pipes, power, and signals. It's ""thinking"" now -- processing, predicting, even deciding on our behalf. What was once physical has fused with the informational. The external world and our internal systems of meaning are no longer separate. That merger isn't just technical -- it's existential. And the implications? We're not ready. But if AI is to become all of our closest, most intimate companions, we should be clear on what it is, exactly, that we have trained it, and allowed it, to do. This isn't just logistics. It's the emergence of an industrial nervous system. And it doesn't need to 'win.' It needs to scale, persist, and adapt -- without narrative. We're building agentic AI to simulate our most performative instincts while ignoring our most fundamental one: persistence. The world isn't a game. It's a fluid network of shifting players, incomplete information, and evolving values. To train machines as if it's a fixed competition is to misunderstand the world and ourselves. We are increasingly deputizing machines to answer questions we haven't finished asking, shaping a world that feels more like croquet with the Queen of Hearts in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: a game rigged in advance, played for stakes we don't fully understand. If intelligence is defined by adaptability, not perfection, endurance becomes the ultimate metric. What persists shapes. What bends survives. We don't need machines that solve perfect problems. We need machines that function under imperfect truths. The future isn't about agentic AI that beats us at games we made up. It's about agentic AI that can operate in the parts of the world we barely understand -- but still depend on.",39.0,,,,,,,newsapi.ai, ,4002390,San Francisco could see as much as six inches of rain over the next week as a moisture-packed storm known as an atmospheric river works its way south from the Pacific Northwest.,25.0,,,,,,,New York Times API, ,3991149,Forecasters issued some of their rarest and most extreme alerts on Wednesday as they warned a powerful storm system would stall over the central part of the country.,25.0,,,,,,,New York Times API, ,3997361,And a winter storm could dump up to a foot of snow from the Central Plains to the East Coast.,25.0,,,,,,,New York Times API, ,3995449,"Skiers may delight in the snow forecast, but the latest in a series of atmospheric rivers threatens to bring flooding and mudslides to California.",25.0,,,,,,,New York Times API, ,3992618,A storm soaking the state on Wednesday and Thursday is bringing new danger to the area hit by wildfires earlier this year.,26.0,,,,,,,New York Times API, ,3995171,Intense storms are expected across the Southeast on Monday.
