Justice Department says it may drop criminal prosecution of Boeing over Max crashes Justice Department says it may drop criminal prosecution of Boeing over Max crashes The Justice Department may drop its criminal prosecution of Boeing for allegedly misleading U.S. regulators about the 737 Max jetliner before two of the planes crashed and killed 346 people, according to a weekend court filing. The department said in a Saturday status report that two representatives had met with the families of some ****** victims to discuss a potential pretrial resolution that would involve dismissing the criminal fraud charge against the aerospace company. The Justice Department said no decision had been made and that it was giving the family members more time to weigh in. A federal judge in Texas has set the case for trial starting June 23. Paul Cassell, an attorney for many of the families in the long-running case, said his clients strongly oppose dropping the criminal case. “We hope that this bizarre plan will be rejected by the leadership of the department,” Cassell said in a statement. “Dismissing the case would dishonor the memories of 346 victims who Boeing killed through its callous lies.” Many relatives of the passengers who died in the crashes, which took place off the coast of Indonesia and in Ethiopia less than five months apart in 2018 and 2019, have spent years pushing for a public trial, the prosecution of former company officials, and more severe financial punishment for Boeing. Boeing was accused of misleading the Federal Aviation Administration about aspects of the Max before the agency certified the plane for flight. Boeing did not tell airlines and pilots about a new software system, called MCAS, that could turn the plane’s nose down without input from pilots if a sensor detected that the plane might go into an aerodynamic stall. The Max planes crashed after a faulty reading from the sensor pushed the nose down and pilots were unable to regain control. After the second ******, Max jets were grounded worldwide until the company redesigned MCAS to make it less powerful and to use signals from two sensors, not just one. Boeing avoided prosecution in 2021 by reaching a $2.5 billion settlement with the Justice Department that included a previous $243.6 million fine. A year ago, prosecutors said Boeing violated terms of the 2021 agreement by failing to make promised changes to detect and prevent violations of federal anti-fraud laws. Boeing agreed last July to plead guilty to the felony fraud charge instead of enduring a potentially lengthy public trial. But in December, U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor in Fort Worth rejected the plea deal. The judge said the diversity, inclusion and equity or DEI, policies in the government and at Boeing could result in race being a factor in picking a monitor to oversee Boeing’s compliance with the agreement. Lawyers for the government and Boeing have spent months discussing a new deal. The Justice Department said in its latest filing that the two sides “discussed a possible framework for a nonprosecution agreement—but have not exchanged a draft written agreement—that would impose obligations on both parties,” including Boeing paying an additional fine and compensation. Lawyers for the families said they learned during Friday’s meeting with the acting head of the Justice Department’s criminal fraud section and the acting U.S. attorney for northern Texas that Boeing no longer was willing to plead guilty. The Justice Department said it had agreed to consider any written submissions by the family members through May 22. After that, the department said it would notify O’Connor promptly about how it wants to proceed.

Serie A title race goes to final day, maybe further Serie A title race goes to final day, maybe further The fight for the Serie A title will go into the final day, and maybe even further. Napoli could have clinched their second Italian league title in three years on Sunday but will have to wait after both Antonio Conte’s team and second-placed Inter Milan were held to draws on Sunday. League leaders Napoli drew 0-0 at relegation-threatened Parma, as Socceroo Alessandro Circati got through a full 90 minutes for Parma in his return from an ACL injury. And Inter drew 2-2 against Champions League-chasing Lazio to remain one point behind Napoli. Napoli host Cagliari in the final round, while defending champions Inter visit Como. If they finish level on points, a playoff will be needed to decide the destination of the league title. Apart from the title fight, there was still almost everything else to play for in Serie A. That was why all but one of the 10 matches in the penultimate round kicked off simultaneously on Sunday. Inter were perhaps under the most pressure of the two rivals as they knew a loss would hand Napoli the title if the league leaders won at Parma. Yann Bisseck was both hero and villain at San Siro. He scored the opener in first-half stoppage time but also gave away a late penalty to allow Lazio to snatch the draw that took the title fight out of Inter’s hands. Pedro had scored the first equaliser for Lazio in the 72nd minute before Denzel Dumfries headed Inter back in front seven minutes later. That result would have sent Inter top of the table and left the Nerazzurri in control of their destiny. However, Lazio were awarded a penalty when it was adjudged — on video review — that Bisseck had blocked Taty Castellanos’ volley with his arm. Pedro converted in the final minute. Inter thought they had snatched the win deep in stoppage time but Marko Arnautovic’s header was ruled out for offside. Both coaches were sent off during the VAR check. Conte and his counterpart were also sent off in Parma as there was late drama in their match too. Napoli were initially awarded a penalty in stoppage time for a presumed foul by Mathias Løvik on David Neres but it was revoked on video review. Napoli also hit the woodwork twice.

New photos show partial collapse, damaged cars at Jacksonville airport parking garage New photos show partial collapse, damaged cars at Jacksonville airport parking garage Two days after fire engulfed parts of a Jacksonville International Airport parking garage, new photos shared by the airport show damage to some of the dozens of cars ravaged by flames on Friday, May 16. The images released Sunday show several burned-out cars and debris in the part of the garage that partially collapsed during the mid-day fire that forced the closure of JIA for several hours and the indefinite closure of the airport’s hourly parking garage to allow experts to assess the structural safety of the building. In a social media post on Sunday, May 18, the airport said that officials had “established a collapse zone” and that crews were “working to establish safe areas of the garage where cars may be removed” in the coming days. The hourly parking garage, which has a capacity of 1,015 vehicles, was nearly full when the fire is believed to have started in one vehicle on the second parking level, according to airport video, Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department chief Keith Powers said. The parking structure remains closed in the aftermath of the fire, leaving hundreds of airport guests temporarily separated from their vehicles. More on the fire: Jacksonville airport parking garage fire cancels flights, closes parking facilities Jacksonville airport parking options limited after parking garage fire Two days after the fire that caused no serious injuries, the daily parking garage and daily surface parking were full, according to parking information on the airport’s website. The outlying “economy lots” — which were at capacity during parts of the weekend — were listed as 88% full on Sunday evening. The airport encouraged travelers to find alternate parking or use taxis or ride-sharing services to get to and from the Northside airport. The hourly parking garage is a parking structure located directly across from the airport terminal, with an upper-level drop-off area for departing passengers and a lower-level pick-up area for arriving passengers separating the two buildings. The daily parking garage structure and daily surface lot parking extend out beyond the hourly parking garage, which is used most often for short stays at the airport to drop off or pick up family members or friends who are traveling to and from the airport. The ground floor of the facility also houses several rental car pick-up and drop-off facilities. What’s next: Heading to JIA?

Stock market today: Live updates Stock market today: Live updates Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, U.S., May 14, 2025. REUTERS/Brendan McDermid Brendan Mcdermid | Reuters Stock futures fell Sunday evening as investors responded to Moody’s downgrade of the U.S.’ credit rating. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 287 points points, or 0.7%. S&P 500 futures pulled back 0.7%, while Nasdaq 100 futures lost 0.8%. Moody’s on Friday bumped the country’s rating down by one notch to Aa1 from Aaa, bringing the agency in line with its peers. The firm cited the financing challenges tied to the federal government’s growing budget deficit and the ramifications of rolling over existing U.S. debts in a ******* of high borrowing costs. The debt downgrade could pressure bond prices and raise yields at a time when the economy is already under pressure from President Donald Trump’s unfolding tariff policy. “The fundamental factor of less foreign demand for them and the growing size of the pile of debt that needs to be constantly refinanced is not going to change,” said Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at Bleakley Financial Group, of the U.S. rating change. Moody’s downgrade “is symbolic in the sense that here’s a major rating agency that’s calling out that the U.S. has strained debts and deficits.” The downgrade comes after a winning week on Wall Street as investors cheered the White House’s deal with China to temporarily slash levies. The agreement was seen as a breakthrough for global trade after Trump’s initial plan for broad and steep import taxes was unveiled last month. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite led the way, surging more than 7%. The broad S&P 500 jumped over 5% and posted a five-day winning streak. The blue-chip Dow rallied more than 3% last week. Friday’s gain of over 300 points pushed the 30-stock average into positive territory for 2025. Investors on Monday will monitor speeches from U.S. central bank officials such as Atlanta Federal Reserve President Raphael Bostic, New York Fed President John Williams and Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan scheduled throughout the day. Leading indicators data is due in the morning.

LATIKA M BOURKE: Albanese’s emotional account of private conversation with Pope Leo XIV LATIKA M BOURKE: Albanese’s emotional account of private conversation with Pope Leo XIV Speaking at the end of a monumental weekend in the Italian capital, where he attended the inaugural mass of Pope Leo XIV, the Prime Minister, just re-elected in a landslide, turned sentimental. On a tiled rooftop, as the Roman sun burned down, Anthony Albanese told reporters what he had said to the pontiff just hours prior, when they shook hands insides St Peter’s Basilica. “I spoke to him about my mother,” he revealed. “[She] would be,” he began before correcting the tense. “Is, I’m sure, looking down from heaven with the biggest smile she’s ever had.” “The fact that her son was at the inaugural mass of a Pope in the ********.” Mr Albanese grew up as an only child to his single mother Maryanne Ellery in a housing commission home in Camperdown, in his inner-Sydney seat of Grayndler. As a boy, his mother told him his father had died in a car accident. But he learned as a young teen that his father was married to a woman in Italy, and he had been born out of wedlock. His Catholic mother had even considered putting him up for adoption to protect him from social stigma given the social attitudes at the time, but ultimately chose to keep his parentage a secret from him instead. While not so much a regular churchgoer as an adult, the Catholic Church, alongside the Labor party and the South Sydney Rabbitohs football team, are intrinsic to Mr Albanese’s identity — and his childhood. “One of my first memories is of Pope Paul VI visiting Pyrmont Bridge Road, Camperdown, across the road from my house,” he recalled. “It was the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children, and my mum took me across to get close to Pope Paul. “It was one of the very important moments in my mum’s life. “I was just a little kid at the time.” That kid would grow up to learn the truth about his mother’s secret. His father was not dead and he was the result of a romance on a cruise ship. His father, Carlo Albanese was very much alive and married to another woman. As an adult, and five years after his mother died in 2002, Mr Albanese tracked down his father and found he was living in Barletta, Puglia, in Italy’s south. In 2009 and as minister in the Rudd Government, he travelled to Italy and met his Dad for the first time. They would meet just once more, in 2014. His father died soon after, leaving behind a son and daughter Ruggero and Francesca, who still live in Barletta. Asked if he had met any of his long-lost Italian family while in the country, the prime minister revealed his brother had. They and had travelled 11 hours by bus from the country’s south in Barletta, Puglia, to see him. “I did meet up with some of my family yesterday and that a great privilege,” he said. “My brother and his wife and one of his daughters came, and it was wonderful to be able to catch up with them. “They came up to Rome and it was very nice to spend a short ******* of time, relative, with them — I certainly appreciated it.” At this point, he seemed momentarily lost for words. “They’re very proud that someone who shares their name …” he said. “And, yeah, it was a really nice moment for them. “I hadn’t seen them since my election as prime minister. “Others sent messages as well.” If photos were taken they weren’t shared on the Prime Minister’s social media accounts. His Italian family remain intensely private. For his Italian family, it can only have been the most surreal experience. Roughly ten years ago they learn they have an *********** politician brother. Within a decade he is sitting amongst the 151 world leaders, dignataries and monarchs attending the Pope’s inauguration. Around 150,000 people are estimated to have crammed into St Peter’s Square and up the road to catch a glimpse of the American pontiff. Mr Albanese had one of the most desirable spots of all, seated in the second row. Reflecting on morning and the Pope’s first homily, Mr Albanese said it was a “very moving ceremony.” “Where he outlined his vision once again for his papacy, and for the time in which he will hold this incredibly important position, not just for Australia’s five million Catholics, but from Catholics throughout the world,” he said. “But also, the holding of the position of Pope is one that provides leadership throughout the world as well, which is why it was attended by so many world leaders today.” Pope Leo condemned polarised politics in his first sermon. “In this our time, we still see too much discord, too many wounds caused by hatred, violence, prejudice, the fear of difference, and an economic paradigm that exploits the Earth’s resources and marginalises the poorest,” he said. “We are called to offer God’s love to everyone, in order to achieve that unity which does not cancel out differences but values the personal history of each person and the social and religious culture of every people.” It’s an enduring message that could be repeated on *********** shores on the eve of the next election. Mr Albanese will invite the new Pope to Australia for the World Ecumenical Congress scheduled for January, 2028. It would be the first time in a decade since the last papal visit when Pope Benedict XVI led World Youth Day, the Catholic youth festival, in Sydney. “To visit Australia at that time [would] give us that honour,” the prime minister said on Saturday after touring the Chapel of our Lady of Pompeii inside Domus Australia, a pilgrim guest house in Rome. As he walked around the beautifully restored chapel with the Archbishop from Sydney, Anthony Fisher, the Prime Minister couldn’t help but see the local dimensions at play. He told the Archbishop that the Vietnamese communities in Cabramatta were mostly Buddhist, the ones in his local Marrickville were Catholic. It was a reminder that even when in Rome, for Anthony Albanese all roads lead squarely home.

Biden has been diagnosed with aggressive prostate ******* Biden has been diagnosed with aggressive prostate ******* WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate *******, his office said Sunday. Biden was seen by doctors last week after ******** symptoms and a prostate nodule were found. He was diagnosed with prostate ******* on Friday, with the ******* cells having spread to the bone. “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the ******* appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” his office said. “The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.” Prostate cancers are given a score called a Gleason score that measures, on a scale of 1 to 10, how the cancerous cells look compared with normal cells. Biden’s office said his score was 9, suggesting his ******* is among the most aggressive. When prostate ******* spreads to other parts of the body, it often spreads to the bones. Metastasized ******* is much harder to treat than localized ******* because it can be hard for drugs to reach all the tumors and completely root out the disease. However, when prostate cancers need hormones to grow, as in Biden’s case, they can be susceptible to treatment that deprives the tumors of hormones. Many political leaders sent Biden their wishes for his recovery. President Donald Trump, a longtime political opponent, posted on social media that he was saddened by the news and “we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.” Biden’s vice president, Kamala Harris, said on social media that she was keeping him in her family’s “hearts and prayers during this time.” “Joe is a fighter — and I know he will face this challenge with the same strength, resilience, and optimism that have always defined his life and leadership,” Harris wrote. The health of Biden, 82, was a dominant concern among voters during his time as president. After a calamitous debate performance in June while seeking reelection, Biden abandoned his bid for a second term. Harris became the nominee and lost to Trump, a Republican who returned to the White House after a four-year hiatus. But in recent days, Biden rejected concerns about his age despite reporting in the new book “Original Sin” by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson that aides had shielded the public from the extent of his decline while serving as president. In February 2023, Biden had a skin lesion removed from his chest that was a basal cell carcinoma, a common form of skin *******. And in November 2021, he had a polyp removed from his colon that was a benign, but potentially pre-cancerous lesion. In 2022, Biden made a “******* moonshot” one of his administration’s priorities with the goal of halving the ******* death rate over the next 25 years. The initiative was a continuation of his work as vice president to address a disease that had killed his older son, Beau, who died from brain ******* in 2015. His father, when announcing the goal to halve the ******* death rate, said this could be an “American moment to prove to ourselves and, quite frankly, the world that we can do really big things.” ___ Associated Press writer Jon Fahey in New York contributed to this report.

The US factory that lays bare the contradiction in Trump’s policy The US factory that lays bare the contradiction in Trump’s policy BBC Among the cactuses in the desert of Arizona, just outside Phoenix, an extraordinary collection of buildings are emerging that will shape the future of the global economy and the world. The hum of further construction is creating not just a factory for the world’s most advanced semiconductors. Eventually, it will mass produce the most advanced chips in the world. This work is being done in the US for the first time, with the Taiwanese company behind it pledging to spend billions more here in a move aimed at heading off the threat of tariffs on imported chips. It is, in my view, the most important factory in the world, and it’s being built by a company you’ve never heard of: TSMC, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. It makes 90% of the world’s advanced semiconductors. Until now they were all made in Taiwan, the island off the ******** mainland. The Apple chip in your iPhone, the Nvidia chips powering your ChatGPT queries, the chips in your laptop or computer network, all are made by TSMC. Its Arizona facility “Fab 21” is closely guarded. Blank paper or personal devices are not allowed in case designs are leaked. It houses some of the most important intellectual property in the world, and the process to make these chips is one of the most complicated and intensive in global manufacturing. TSMC’s Arizona factory is closely guarded They’re hugely protective of the secrets that lie within. Important customers, such as Apple and Nvidia, trust this company to safeguard their designs for future products. But after months of asking, TSMC let the BBC in to look at the partial transfer of what some argue is the most critical, expensive, complex and important manufacturing in the world. The poster child for Trump’s policy President Trump certainly seems to think so. He often mentions the factory in passing. “TSMC is the biggest there is,” he has said. “We gradually lost the chip business, and now it’s almost exclusively in Taiwan. They stole it from us.” This is one of the US President’s regular refrains. TSMC’s recent decision to expand its investments in the US by a further $100bn (£75bn) is something Trump attributes to his threats of tariffs on Taiwan and on the global semiconductor business. The expansion of the Arizona facility, which was announced in March is, he believes, the poster child for his economic policies – in particular the encouragement of foreign companies to relocate factories to the US to avoid hefty tariffs. Getty Trump heralded TSMC’s decision to invest in the US as proof of success for his tariff policy China is also watching developments carefully. Taiwan’s chip making prowess has been part of what its government has called its “Silicon Shield,” against a much-feared invasion. While the original strategy was to make Taiwan indispensable in this area of critical technology, the pandemic supply chain difficulties changed the calculus because relying on a single country seemed like a greater risk. So, many currents of the world economy, frontier technology and geopolitics flow through this one site and within it lies the essential contradiction of Trump’s economic and diplomatic policy. He sees this plant as the exemplar of America First, and the preservation of economic and military superiority over China. Yet the manufacture of these modern miniaturised miracles at the frontier of physics and chemistry inherently rely on a combination of the very best technologies from around the world. The cleanest environment on Earth Greg Jackson, one of the facilities managers, takes me around in a golf buggy. The factories are almost a carbon copy of the TSMC spaces in Taiwan, where he trained. “I would say these facilities are probably some of the most advanced and complicated in the world,” he says. “It’s quite the dichotomy. You’ve got really, really small chips with really small structures, and it takes this massive facility with all the infrastructure to be able to make them… Just the sheer complexity, the amount of systems that it takes, is staggering.” Inside the “Gowning Building,” workers dress in protective clothing before crossing a bridge that is supposed to create the cleanest environment on Earth, in order to protect the production of these extraordinary microscopic transistors that create the microchips underpinning everything. Konstantinos Ninios, an engineer, shows me some of the very first productions from TSMC Arizona: a silicon wafer with what is known as ‘4 nanometre chips’. Each silicon wafer is roughly the size of an LP record “This is the most advanced wafer in the US right now,” he explains. “[It] contains about 10 to 14 trillion transistors… The whole process is three to 4,000 steps.” If you could somehow shrink your body to the same scale and get inside the wafer, he says that the many different layers would look like very tall streets and skyscrapers. Manufacturing manipulation of atoms TSMC was founded at the behest of the Taiwanese government in 1987, when chip executive Morris Chang was directed to start the business. The model was to become a dedicated foundry for microchips – manufacturing other companies’ designs. It became wildly successful. Driving the advancement of the technology is the miniaturisation of the smallest feature on chips. Their size is measured these days in billionths of a metre or nanometres. This progress has enabled mobile phones to become smartphones, and is now setting the pace for the mass deployment of artificial intelligence. It requires incredible complexity and expense through the use of “extreme ultraviolet (UV) light”. This is used to etch the intricate building blocks of our modern existence in a process called “lithography”. The world’s dependence on TSMC is built on highly specialised bus-sized machines, which are in turn sourced almost entirely from a Dutch company called ASML, including in Arizona. These machines shoot UV light tens of thousands of times through drops of molten tin, which creates a plasma, and is then refracted through a series of specialised mirrors. The almost entirely automated process for each wafer of silicon is repeated thousands of times in layers over months, before the $1m LP-sized wafer of 4nm silicon chips is formed. “Just imagine a particle or a dust particle falling into this,” Ninios says to me incredulously. “The transistors are not going to work. So all of this is cleaner than hospital operating rooms.” Caution in Taiwan Taiwan does not have special access to the raw materials – but it has the know-how to stay years ahead of other companies in the intricate process of producing these atomic building blocks of modern life. Some in the Taiwanese government are cautious about spreading the frontier of this technology off the island. Trump wasted little time in claiming the firm’s decision to bring its highest level of technology to the US was due to his economic policies. He said this would not have happened without the stick of his planned tariffs on Taiwan and semiconductors. Those I speak to at TSMC are diplomatic about that claim. Much of this was already planned and subsidised under former US President Biden administration’s Chips Act. The supply chain for semiconductors is global as no single country can do everything at the moment, says Rose Castanares, President of TSMC Arizona On the walkway into the building are photographs showing Biden’s visit in 2022, with the building site draped in the Stars and Stripes and a banner saying “a future Made in America”. “The semiconductor supply chain is global,” says Rose Castanares, the President of TSMC Arizona. “There’s really no single country at this moment that can do everything from chemicals to wafer manufacturing to packaging, and so it’s very difficult to unwind that whole thing very quickly.” ‘Non Red’ supply chains to counter China As for the semiconductor supply chain, tariffs will not help. The supply chain stretches all over the world. Whether it’s the silicon wafers from Japan, the machines required from the Netherlands, or mirrors from Germany, all sorts of materials from all around the world are required. Now, they could face import charges. That said, TSMC’s boss was quick off the mark in confirming the expansion of the US site at an event with Trump at the White House. In recent weeks, America’s tech elite – from Apple’s Tim Cook, to Nvidia’s Jensen Huang – have been queueing up to tell the world that TSMC Arizona will now produce many of the chips in their US products. The global chip industry is very sensitive to the economic cycle, but its cutting edge technology enjoys very healthy margins, that could cushion some of these planned tariffs. The company was founded in Taiwan in 1987. In March this year, they announced an expansion of their Arizona facility. There are many geopolitical subtexts here. The factory sits at the heart of US strategy to gain technological, AI and economic supremacy over China. Both the Biden and Trump administrations have developed policies to try and limit ******** access to the frontier semiconductor technology – from a ban of exports to China of ASML’s machines, to new legislation to ban the use of Huawei AI chips in US software or technology anywhere in the world. Taiwan’s President Lai this week urged democracies such as Japan and the US to develop “non-Red” supply chains to counter China. Not everyone is convinced that this strategy is working, however. ******** technologists have been effective at working around the bans to develop competitive indigenous technology. And Bill Gates this week said that these policies “have forced the ******** in terms of chip manufacturing and everything to go full speed ahead”. Trump wants TSMC Arizona to become a foundation stone for his American golden age. But the company’s story to date is perhaps the ultimate expression of the success of modern globalisation. So for now, it’s a battle for global tech and economic supremacy, in which Taiwan’s factory technology, much of which is now being moved to the Arizona desert, is the critical asset.

Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix: How Max Verstappen caught McLaren by surprise in Imola Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix: How Max Verstappen caught McLaren by surprise in Imola Had McLaren shown the pace advantage they had in Miami, or Bahrain, or China, or Australia, it might not have mattered, even on a track where overtaking is as notoriously difficult as Imola. But they didn’t. Piastri could hold Verstappen for a while, but then began to feel his tyres going away, and McLaren decided to pit him. It was the wrong decision – on this day, the tyres went through a phase where they felt like they were going off, but then came back again. But all it did was change which McLaren finished second and third. Verstappen believed that there were two combined explanations for his improved form. Red Bull had brought some upgrades, and they had worked. But there was also the track itself. As at Suzuka – his other win this year – or Jeddah, where Verstappen went toe-to-toe with Piastri, the track, as Verstappen put it, “has quite a few high-speed corners, which I think our car likes”. He added: “It’s very track specific. I mean, every time that we have been really competitive, it’s been high-speed tracks, high-speed corners. “We still have work to do, but I do think it’s been a very positive weekend for us. “Friday was very difficult still, but then I think we found a better set-up for Saturday. And I just hope that we can use that a bit more often because it definitely brought the car in a better window.” Norris said: “That’s where we’ve suffered the whole season so far, the high-speed corners. So we have to work in that area, and maybe that’s proved to hurt us a little bit more this weekend. “We said it from the beginning that we have to keep working hard. Max has out-qualified us several times, and their pace just converted today into Sunday. “Sometimes they’ve been ahead, but their pace on Sunday has not been too strong. They’ve maybe worked on some things, and their pace was better today. That’s the price we pay for not being quick enough.” Source link #EmiliaRomagna #Grand #Prix #Max #Verstappen #caught #McLaren #surprise #Imola Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Senator Says The Country Is ‘Stuck With A Madman’ In The White House Because Of Dems Senator Says The Country Is ‘Stuck With A Madman’ In The White House Because Of Dems Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said former President Joe Biden isn’t solely to blame for President Donald Trump’s return to the White House for a second presidential term. While appearing Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Murphy admitted that Biden “should’ve gotten out of the race earlier” ahead of the 2024 election, but also passed the buck onto the Democratic Party. “It was a mistake for democrats to not listen to the voters earlier and set up a process that would’ve gotten us in a position where we could’ve been more competitive,” he explained. When host Kristen Welker firmly asked Murphy to confirm whether he also takes responsibility for the party’s failure, the politician replied, “I think we all bear responsibility.” “We maybe didn’t listen as early as we should have, in part because we have immense loyalty to [Biden] ― who had led this country out of a pandemic, who had been maybe the most prodigious legislator as a president,” Murphy explained. Despite taking ownership, Murphy told Welker that “you can’t defend what the Democratic Party” did as Trump’s administration continues to cause a stir among voters and lawmakers amid his second term. “But ultimately, in retrospect, you can’t defend what the Democratic Party did because we are stuck with a madman, with a corrupt president in the Oval Office, and we should have given ourselves a better chance to win,” he added. Elsewhere in the interview, Welker referenced claims made against Biden and his aides in the upcoming book, “Original Sin,” by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson, set to release Tuesday. In the book, the two journalists allege that Biden’s aides covered up the politician’s physical and cognitive decline from the public. Welker questioned Murphy over whether he believes White House officials orchestrated a “cover-up” on Biden’s behalf. “I saw a president who was in control,” Murphy, who stated he had not read the book, said of his interactions with Biden in 2022 and 2023. “But I admit that by 2024, the American public had made up their mind, right, that they wanted the Democratic Party to nominate somebody new, and it was absolutely a mistake for the party to not listen to those voters.” Watch Murphy’s appearance on “Meet the Press” here.

Schneider hopeful Jays’ lineup will figure it out Schneider hopeful Jays’ lineup will figure it out TORONTO – Part of John Schneider’s mission as the Toronto Blue Jays manager is to be bullish on his lineup, even when his team struggles. Despite only two wins in the first six outings of a nine-game homestand, Schneider kept his smile after three close weekend games that netted two losses against the major-league-leading Detroit Tigers. “Hopefully, it kind of just meshes together at some point, where you’re getting consistent offensive numbers,” Schneider said 10 minutes after slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. bounced out to second base with a runner on to end the game and hand the visitors a 3-2 win. “The bullpen was great in this series. You hope you get good starting pitching and it’s any manager’s dream of a winning recipe (of good pitching and offence).” Related Videos 2:22 Blue Jays fans skip out on Seattle series over U.S. trade war Previous Video Next Video Story continues below advertisement The Blue Jays lost the series opener 5-4, won the middle outing 2-1 with a walk-off single from Ernie Clement, and dropped the finale with the offence failing to knock a ball out of the infield in the final four innings.

House GOP tries again to push Trump’s budget package forward after setback House GOP tries again to push Trump’s budget package forward after setback Washington — The House Budget Committee plans to return late Sunday to attempt for a second time to move President Trump’s domestic policy bill closer to the finish line after conservatives rebelled Friday over concerns the legislation does not contain steep enough spending cuts. Five Republicans — Reps. Chip Roy of Texas, Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma, Andrew Clyde of Georgia and Lloyd Smucker of Pennsylvania — voted against advancing the legislation when the committee met Friday to stitch together the various parts of the reconciliation package into a single bill. Smucker said he supported the bill but changed his vote at the last minute so the committee could bring it up again once their issues were resolved. None of the Democrats in the committee voted to advance the measure, causing the vote to fail. Most legislation needs to be voted out of committee to make it to the House floor, where Republicans only afford to lose a small amount of votes due to the slim majority. House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, has remained committed to putting the legislation, which would extend tax cuts from Mr. Trump’s first term while temporarily ending taxes on tips and overtime, on the floor before Memorial Day despite the disagreements between some factions in his party. The tax measures, as well as increased spending on the military and border security, would be offset partly by cuts to Medicaid, food stamps and clean energy subsidies. “The Budget Committee will reconvene this evening. They’ll get that through the committee, and the plan is to move it to the Rules Committee by midweek and to the House floor by the end of the week, so we meet our initial or original Memorial Day deadline,” Johnson said on “Fox News Sunday.” Conservatives have taken issue with the bill’s failure to install work requirements for childless Medicaid recipients without disabilities before 2029. They also want to end clean energy subsidies that were implemented under the Inflation Reduction Act, which was signed into law by former President Joe Biden. “This bill has back-loaded savings and has front-loaded spending,” Roy said at Friday’s meeting. Hours before the Budget Committee was set to reconvene Sunday, Roy said there was progress being made on the issues, but “we’re not there yet.” Johnson told Fox News that Medicaid work requirements are a “no-brainer,” but noted that it may not be feasible to implement them immediately because it will take time for states to adjust. Meanwhile, a group of Republicans from blue states have threatened to withhold their support in a floor vote if the bill does not raise a cap on state and local taxes that can be written off on federal tax returns. The bill increases the cap on the deduction from $10,000 to $30,000, but several New York Republicans have insisted on raising it even further. There also appeared to be a late effort to raise the top income tax rate, though Republican leadership has opposed the idea. Republican Rep. Nick LaLota of New York on Saturday floated raising the rate for individuals earning more than $609,350 and married couples earning over $731,200. Doing so, he argued, would help satisfy conservative demands for more cuts and help pay for the state-and-local deduction. Mr. Trump put pressure on the holdouts on Friday as he headed back from the Middle East, saying the party doesn’t need “grandstanders.” “STOP TALKING, AND GET IT DONE!” Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social.

*** and EU still locked in deal talks hours ahead of summit *** and EU still locked in deal talks hours ahead of summit Negotiations for a deal between the *** and EU are still ongoing hours before the prime minister hosts a ***-EU summit on Monday. Sir Keir Starmer will meet European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen for the second time in four days as he aims to strike a deal with the EU on a range of issues. This could include a youth mobility scheme, allowing *** passport holders to use EU airport e-gates, and announcements on trade, security, and fishing rights. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform *** leader Nigel Farage have already described the deal as a “surrender” despite the contents not being known. Negotiations are being led by the minister for ***-EU relations, Nick Thomas-Symonds, who told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg that he was driven by “ruthless pragmatism” and was focused on jobs, lower household bills, and stronger borders. But he declined to give specific details of any deal, saying: “Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.” Announcements around trade and security have been expected to include British access to a 150 billion euro (£125 billion) EU defence fund, which could be a boost for *** defence companies. Reports have circulated that a youth mobility scheme with the EU could be set up – something that Sir Keir told the Times on Saturday would be a “reciprocal” arrangement in which young people would be able to move abroad for up to two years. No specific details about the ages of those who could be eligible and whether there would be a cap on numbers were given, and it has received mixed responses from opposition parties. Badenoch described the possible scheme as “free movement through the back door” while Reform’s deputy leader Richard Tice said earlier this week that such a scheme would be “the thin end” of EU free movement. The Liberal Democrats have backed the idea of a “capped mobility scheme”, although the party’s Europe spokesperson James MacCleary has accused the government of “dragging their heels when it comes to properly negotiating on the issue”. Reports have also suggested there could be agreements on British travellers using EU e-gates at European airports and cutting red tape on food exports and imports. Thomas-Symonds said he was “pushing for people to be able to go through” European airports “far more quickly” and that he was confident about a deal on food. He added: “We know we’ve had lorries waiting for 16 hours, fresh food in the back not able to be exported because frankly it’s just going off, red tape, all the certifications that are required, we absolutely want to reduce that.” Conservative MP Alex Burghart told the BBC on Sunday he was concerned the government was signing up to EU standards and becoming “a rule taker – one of the things we specifically left behind when we left the EU”.

‘Fair fight’ is just fine for McLaren teammates ‘Fair fight’ is just fine for McLaren teammates McLaren teammates and Formula One championship rivals Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were free to race each other in the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix and both agreed it was the right decision. While *********** Piastri started on pole and finished third, Norris took second place after lining up fourth. When Norris overtook for second place in the closing stages, Piastri did not make it easy as they went wheel to wheel but it was a fair fight. “I was on better tyres, but I didn’t expect anything,” agreed Norris. “It was still a tough fight. It was close into turn one. It’s the way it should be, of course. “I lose time through that, and then he loses time, but it’s what we have to do in order to battle for a championship. If you try and make someone happy, the other one’s going to be unhappy, so it’s the way it is. “I think we handled it well, and it was a good job by the team.” If Max Verstappen’s victory for Red Bull came as a surprise, it served as another reminder of how quickly the tide can turn in Formula One. McLaren have won five of seven races and are comfortably ahead of Mercedes in the standings but Red Bull, third, have now won twice. McLaren need no prompting, having won last year’s constructors’ title after a 2023 season dominated by Verstappen’s Red Bull, but Norris thought it worthwhile pointing out anyway. “What was our biggest strength two weekends ago turned into not being good enough this weekend, so it shows how quickly things can change,” the Briton said. “I think we’re happy otherwise, it’s still a good team result and that’s the main thing.” Piastri could have taken his fourth win in a row and fifth of the season but instead saw his advantage over Norris trimmed to 13 points. Monaco next weekend could be a different story, with the *********** runner-up last year to Ferrari’s local hero Charles Leclerc and looking to go one better. “You’re going have tough days in the championship, and this is clearly one of them,” he said. “So as long as we learn the lessons, then that’s all I can ask.” “I’ll learn for next time clearly,” he said of Verstappen’s first corner move.

Receive a random package you didn’t order? You may be a victim of a ‘brushing’ scheme — here’s how it works Receive a random package you didn’t order? You may be a victim of a ‘brushing’ scheme — here’s how it works Ray Simmons was baffled when an Amazon package containing beet chews landed on his doorstep. “I did think that maybe someone in my family was playing a joke on me, that they were telling me that I needed to eat healthier,” Simmons shared with WSB-TV Atlanta. Don’t miss But the package wasn’t a joke. Simmons, as he would come to learn, had unwillingly become the target of a scam known as “brushing.” The scheme is reportedly designed to exploit consumer data and manipulate online product reviews, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) reports. And while that may seem fairly harmless, USPIS has issued a warning to Americans across the country: if you receive a package that you didn’t order, do not scan any QR codes that come with it. What Is the brushing scam? The brushing scam involves third-party sellers on e-commerce platforms that send unsolicited, low-value items to random people whose names and addresses were found online. Once the item is shipped, the scammers leave fake five-star reviews online using the recipient’s name, or a fake profile made to resemble the recipient. The goal is to make the seller’s products appear popular and highly rated in order to gain more visibility and sales. “They didn’t order anything, they received it, and it’s generally a household item, a low-value item,” said U.S. Postal Inspector David Gealey. “They have your personal information, which is easy to get because they can just Google a name and address. It’s out there on the web, right?” Although the brushing scam might not directly lead to a financial loss, it signals that your personal information — such as your name and address — is being used without your knowledge. And that personal information could be circulating on unsecured databases or among bad actors online. All of this would be cause for concern, but the dangers of this scam can become a lot more severe if the target does not exercise caution. Read more: You’re probably already overpaying for this 1 ‘must-have’ expense — and thanks to Trump’s tariffs, your monthly bill could soar even higher. Here’s how 2 minutes can protect your wallet right now The real threat: QR codes Postal inspectors say the real danger comes when these packages include a QR code, which urges recipients to scan for more information or to confirm the delivery. These codes can lead to malicious websites that steal personal data, install malware or phish for sensitive information. “We do caution customers: do not scan any QR code on the package because sometimes that QR code can lead to a malicious site,” Gealey warned. Fortunately, Simmons’ package did not contain a QR code. However, he still took a few necessary steps to protect himself and ensure his Amazon and banking accounts hadn’t been compromised. What to do if you receive a package you didn’t order Receiving an unexpected package could indicate that your personal information is being misused. Here’s what USPIS recommends. Do not scan QR codes: As we discussed above, scanning QR codes from unreliable sources can bring on a heap of trouble that could lead to stolen personal data or harmful malware installed on your device(s). Do not return the item: You are not legally obligated to return unsolicited items. Simply keeping or discarding the package is safe, but don’t follow any instructions that came with it. Check your financial accounts: Review your online bank and credit card statements, as well as your online shopping profiles and Amazon account activity immediately to ensure that your accounts haven’t been hacked. Report the package: Notify your local police department, USPIS and/or the Federal Trade Commission about the unsolicited package. Reporting the package can help authorities with their investigation and can potentially prevent others from becoming a victim.
