Selma Blair is facing additional assault charges after an alleged incident on a flight from Los Angeles to New York. The actress was taken into custody after allegations that she assaulted flight attendants aboard the aircraft. She has entered a not guilty plea. The case now moves through the court process. The charges are allegations, not findings of guilt. Blair is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. Airports can become the starting point for a criminal case af

Pontiff Leo has received a lung cancer diagnosis, according to Vatican officials. The announcement followed a ninety-minute surgical procedure on Tuesday at a Roman medical facility. Large crowds gathered outside the hospital as word spread. Many came to pray. Others waited for clear updates from the Holy See. The confirmation raises immediate questions. What did officials say? What remains unknown? What happens next for the pontiff, the Church, and the public schedule around

The reported detention of a Japanese correspondent in Russia turns a press assignment into a diplomatic flashpoint. The correspondent has been identified as Yuki Imai, representing the Hokkaido Shimbun, a Japanese newspaper based in Hokkaido. Russian authorities reportedly took Imai into custody on suspicion of espionage. That accusation carries serious weight. Espionage cases are not routine police matters. They touch national security, foreign relations, press freedom, and

More than 600,000 residents in Ukraine lost electricity after a new wave of Russian military strikes hit energy infrastructure, according to Ukraine’s president. The figure points to more than a blackout. It shows how power plants, substations, transmission lines, and repair crews have become central to the war. When the grid goes down, homes lose heat, water systems slow, hospitals switch to backup plans, and cities move into emergency mode. Blackouts turn daily life into a

A 42-year-old man died Monday after falling from a roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, prompting an investigation into what happened on one of the park’s tallest and fastest rides. Authorities identified the man as Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem, an educator, information technology manager, and robotics instructor at an Atlanta-based charter school. Eyewitnesses reported that the incident occurred on Goliath, a roller coaster that reaches 70 mph and rises 200 feet, according t

Federal immigration enforcement officials searched a residence tied to Rep. Ilhan Omar in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area early Monday, according to a Department of Justice spokesperson cited by CBS News. The search was carried out by agents from Homeland Security Investigations, or HSI. The DOJ spokesperson said agents executed a court-authorized search warrant as part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation. Officials did not disclose the subject of the investiga

A civilian airport is built around trust. Passengers line up, wait, board, and assume distance from the front line. The Houthi strike on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport broke that assumption in a brutal way. Recently released CCTV footage reportedly shows the moment an explosion tore through part of the terminal as travelers waited for flights. At least 13 people were killed, and hundreds were injured. The blast caused part of the terminal ceiling to collapse, turn

Recovery crews moved into damaged areas after Hurricane Isaias crossed the Southeast over the weekend. The storm left heavy infrastructure damage, widespread power outages, and at least four reported deaths. Officials reported two deaths in Florida and two in Alabama. Hundreds of thousands of residents were left without electricity as crews began clearing roads, checking damaged lines, and reopening access to hard-hit neighborhoods. At the same time, Hurricane Simon moved alo

More than 840,000 residents were left without power after Hurricane Isaias reached Florida, while forecasters warned that some areas could see up to 15 inches of rain. The storm brought a familiar but dangerous mix: heavy rain, strong wind, flooding risk, downed trees, and long power outages. The United States National Hurricane Center said Isaias had the potential to produce extreme rainfall in some locations. That threat matters as much as wind speed. Floodwater can rise fa

Public anger in Ghana is growing because many citizens feel daily life has become harder, not easier. The frustration cuts across jobs, prices, poverty, mining, corruption claims, justice, sports administration, and trust in government. For many people, the issue is simple. Promises were made. Relief was expected. But food, transport, rent, fuel, school costs, and medical bills still weigh heavily on households. That is why criticism of the Mahama administration has become lo

Diesel prices do not stay inside the trucking industry. They show up in grocery bills, farm costs, construction bids, shipping rates, and the price of nearly everything that moves on a truck, train, ship, or tractor. That is why Trump’s announced diesel agreement with Russia is drawing attention. The stated goal is simple: bring down fuel costs by adding more diesel supply or easing pressure in the fuel market. The harder question is whether such a deal can actually do that,

Delhi is again preparing for the kind of public gathering that can reshape a city for a day. Thousands of security personnel have been mobilized ahead of the anticipated “cockroach” demonstration, a protest whose very name has drawn attention even before crowds arrive. The details around the demonstration remain limited in public view. What is clear is the scale of the security response. When a capital city places large numbers of police and support personnel on standby, it s

Hurricane Isaias came ashore in Florida’s western Panhandle on Friday evening with dangerous winds, rising water, and a warning that the worst effects could stretch well beyond the point of landfall. The storm weakened slightly before impact, dropping to a Category 2 hurricane, but its 110 mph winds still posed a serious threat to coastal communities. Forecasters warned that storm surge could reach as high as 9 feet in some areas, enough to flood roads, damage homes, and cut

Federal health authorities have traced the source of a widespread outbreak of the diarrhea-inducing parasite cyclospora to lettuce from Mexico, which was served at Taco Bell locations in five states across the United States. On Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed this source and cautioned consumers against consuming shredded iceberg lettuce from Taco Bell establishments in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia. An investigat

Over 800 wildfires are currently raging across Canada, leading to air quality alerts that have spread into several states in the United States. A dense layer of smoke has obscured the skylines from Detroit and Toronto to New York and throughout New England, resulting in "hazardous" air quality warnings for much of the area. Numerous outdoor events have been canceled as officials advised residents to remain indoors, emphasizing the serious health risks associated with inhaling

A 63-year-old socialist and the chosen successor of the late Hugo Chavez, Maduro has faced long-standing accusations from critics both domestically and internationally of being a dictator who has imprisoned or persecuted political adversaries and has repeatedly orchestrated fraudulent elections. Maduro, a salsa enthusiast with a penchant for drama, frequently labels opposition politicians as "fascist demons" and takes pride in resisting U.S. pressure against him, even having

President Donald Trump stated on Saturday that the United States will take control of Venezuela following the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. "We are going to manage the country until we can ensure a safe, proper, and judicious transition," he remarked during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. "We aim to prevent a situation where another individual takes over, leading to the same circumstances we have experienced for many years. Therefore, we will ov

This dramatic move came just one day before the expected announcement of results from a highly contested presidential election. Gunfire was reported in the capital, Bissau, prior to the military's declaration, signaling the severity of the si
