Fire at Jacksonville International Airport destroys several vehicles, leaves travelers in limbo Fire at Jacksonville International Airport destroys several vehicles, leaves travelers in limbo A massive fire erupted Friday in the hourly parking garage at Jacksonville International Airport, destroying dozens of vehicles and leaving many travelers uncertain about the fate of their cars. ****** smoke from the fire could be seen for miles, drawing immediate concern from those flying into the airport and those with vehicles parked there. “We saw a big fire in the distance and we said, that’s probably not good,” said traveler David Chandler. According to Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan, the fire is believed to have started with one vehicle and quickly spread to others. “About 50 cars were impacted by the fire,” she said. The scene left behind was one of significant destruction. The roof of the garage partially collapsed, with several burned-out vehicles still visible. In the wreckage, one vehicle’s emergency lights continued to flash, a reminder of the chaos earlier in the day. Zach Willis, a traveler returning from Atlanta, had parked his truck on the third level of the garage earlier in the week. He found out about the fire while still out of town. “It’s just the fact that my truck was only two years from being paid off,” Willis said. “Even with insurance, it’s still not gonna cover everything. It will probably pay it off, but at the same time, I have to buy another vehicle.” >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<< [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks] He also expressed uncertainty about how he would get home. “I got the news when I was in Atlanta,” Willis added. Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Chief Keith Powers addressed concerns about potential casualties. “We don’t think so, but we can’t say for sure until we get inside each and every one of those cars and checked, but I don’t think so,” Powers said when asked if anyone could be trapped inside the garage. Mayor Deegan said the Jacksonville Aviation Authority (JAA) will be providing support and information to those affected. “I do know that they said they are going to use message boards, they will have information to the airlines, and they will be providing people with information as they get the update—so when they come off the plane, they know what to do.” JAA also announced plans to launch a dedicated webpage where people who had parked in the hourly garage can submit their information. Currently, nearly 2,000 parking spaces are out of service due to the fire. The garage was last inspected in October of last year.

West Coast Eagles pay tribute to former premiership play Adam Selwood after tragic death West Coast Eagles pay tribute to former premiership play Adam Selwood after tragic death West Coast have paid tribute to Adam Selwood in the wake of the news of the 41-year-old’s tragic death on Saturday. Selwood played 187 games for the Eagles across a decade in the AFL and was an integral part of the storied 2006 premiership. Fellow West Coast premiership player and current Head of Football John Worsfold, who also coached Selwood in the 2006 flag, described the late footballer as a “great teammate”. “Adam was a great teammate who loved the club, loved his footy,” he said. “He always put his mates and team first, and he would be saying that now. He would be wanting to see our Club grow and return to having on-field success once again. “We drafted him at 18 and watched him grow as a player and person. We got to know the Selwood family so well over the years, and they are such wonderful people who our hearts go out to more than anything today. “As a player, Adam was the ultimate team man. He played whatever role was required. He gave it 100 per cent and connected with everyone he was involved with. “He’s had a massive impact on our footy Club as a player, coach and staff member.” Former Eagles coach Adam Simpson worked with Selwood at the backend of his career and said it had been a pleasure. “I don’t know what to say. It was a pleasure to work with Adam briefly,” Adam Simpson told SEN. “It’s just a tragedy. It breaks your heart after what we had to deal with, and for this to happen again from a family point of view. I haven’t got too many words to be honest.” Following his playing career, Selwood took up a development coach role and became the inaugural Head of Female Football at West Coast, setting up the Club’s AFLW team. Club CEO Don Pyke addressed Selwood’s “significant impact” on the Club. “Everyone who knew Adam knew what an outstanding person and family man he was, and his loss is being deeply felt across our Club and the West Coast Eagles community,” he said. “He had a significant impact on our football Club across 18 years, which included working in our Community and Game Development department and setting up our AFLW program, something he was incredibly proud of and will be a lasting legacy. “On behalf of the Club, I wish to send my deepest sympathies to the Selwood family and Adam’s loved ones at this difficult time.” Source link #West #Coast #Eagles #pay #tribute #premiership #play #Adam #Selwood #tragic #death Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content] For verified travel tips and real support, visit: [Hidden Content]

Why did Bahama Breeze close in Memphis? What to know about the chain’s future in Tennessee Why did Bahama Breeze close in Memphis? What to know about the chain’s future in Tennessee The life of Bahama Breeze in Tennessee has come to an end. On May 15 Bahama Breeze shuttered the doors of locations across multiple states, including Tennessee. Several locations greeted customers with signs on the door saying the businesses were permanently closed. Bahama Breeze now joins a long list of national restaurant and store chains that are closing multiple locations simultaneously to try to continue business. Here is what to know about the situation. Why is Bahama Breeze closing? Like many other restaurant and business chains, Bahama Breeze decided to close the doors of stores that were not performing well. “We continually evaluate the performance of all our restaurants,” Darden Restaurants spokesperson Kiara Buckner said. “Closing a restaurant is a difficult choice because it impacts our team members and guests. However, we believe this is the right decision because it will allow Bahama Breeze to focus on its highest performing restaurants and strengthen the brand’s overall performance.” How many Bahama Breeze locations are in Tennessee? The Memphis location at 2830 N Germantown Pkwy in the Wolfchase Galleria was the only operating Bahama Breeze in Tennessee. Yesterday afternoon, customers were met with a permanently closed sign, but the Bahama Breeze website still lists the location as open for operation. Which Bahama Breeze locations have closed? The chain also closed the following locations, as confirmed by a Darden Restaurants spokesperson to USA TODAY: 3989 Plaza Blvd, Gainesville, Florida 326082088 9th St N, Naples, Florida 341021786 W International Speedway Blvd, Daytona Beach, Florida 321142750 Sawgrass Mills Cir, Sunrise, Florida 333233339 N Federal Hwy, Oakland Park, Florida 33306406 E Golf Rd, Schaumburg, Illinois 60173413 Middlesex Rd, Tyngsborough, Massachusetts 01879539 E Big Beaver Rd, Troy, Michigan 48083375 Hughes Center Dr, Las Vegas, Nevada 89169520 Woodbridge Center Dr, Woodbridge, New Jersey 070951201 Hooper Ave, Toms River, New Jersey 08753101 NJ-23, Wayne, New Jersey 074701600 Bergen Town Center, Paramus, New Jersey 07652612 Smith Haven Mall, Lake Grove, New York 117552830 N Germantown Pkwy, Memphis, Tennessee 38133 — USA TODAY contributed to this report.

One Of The Wildest ’90s Cartoons Is Returning With A Blu-Ray Collection This Year One Of The Wildest ’90s Cartoons Is Returning With A Blu-Ray Collection This Year The Highlander franchise has seen multiple movies and TV series over the years, including an animated series in the mid-1990s. Part of a trend where popular R-rated action films received animated adaptations aimed at kids–RoboCop and Rambo to name a few–the Highlander animated series first premiered in 1994. Now, over 30 years later, the full series is coming to Blu-ray with the Highlander: The Complete Animated Series. The Blu-ray collection launches July 29, and preorders are now available at Amazon. $30 | Releases July 29 Highlander: The Complete Animated Series includes all 40 episodes of the two-season animated cartoon. It’s worth noting that the series is presented in standard definition, and no bonus material is included, so this is pretty much a basic collection on a single Blu-ray disc. Nevertheless, it will likely be the best way to watch this ’90s series in 2025. Set centuries after a cataclysm plunged humanity back into a post-apocalyptic dark ages, Highlander: The Animated Series kicks off with a secret society of immortals pledging to protect the people, but fellow immortal Kortan seizes this opportunity to establish a new empire that he rules with an iron fist. In time, a new immortal, Quentin MacLeod, rises to challenge him, and the series chronicles his quest to become powerful enough to topple the evil empire. Unsurprisingly, the animated series made a big change to the lore of Highlander to maintain a kid-friendly rating. But even without seeing heads roll, the show still featured a surprising amount of mature content, like character deaths and the exploration of morally gray characters. Highlander Highlander: The Animated Series is of course based on the the Highlander film franchise, which has seen five feature-length movies, an anime movie, and even a six-season live action TV show. Unfortunately, most of these are currently out of print and hard to track down. Luckily, the first–and best–Highlander film is available on Blu-ray, and if you’re looking to revisit the original film and its hard-rocking Queen soundtrack, you can pick up the Highlander: The Director’s Cut 30th Anniversary Edition on 4K Blu-ray for $16.49. This comes with a ton of bonus materials, like a look at the film’s iconic soundtrack and audio commentary tracks on the 4K disc, as well as a standard Blu-ray version of the film accompanied by various archival features pulled from previous DVD and Blu-ray releases.

Lost world of Ice Age horses suggests we’re getting conservation wrong Lost world of Ice Age horses suggests we’re getting conservation wrong Ancient migration between wild horse populations in America and Asia show how ecosystems adapt to survive cataclysmic change — strategies that modern forms of conservation may unintentionally hinder. That’s the argument of a new study in Science published on Thursday as part of an initiative that blends Western and Indigenous traditions of science in an effort to find new solutions for a natural world in dramatic flux. Their main conclusion: When the going gets tough, tough ecosystems get going — carried along by keystone species like horses, whose willingness to explore new terrain and interbreed with other horse populations has spread their DNA from Alaska to Western Europe. This kind of motion is integral to the survival of complex life on Earth, the study argues — and it’s something that conservation needs to better emphasize. “Today, we live in a world where the boundaries and obstacles created by mankind do not serve the majority of life,” wrote Jane Stelkia, an Okanagan elder and co-author of the paper. “It is time that humans help life find the openings and points to cross and move safely,” Stelkia added. Thursday’s paper is the second offering from a broader collaboration that first bore fruit in a groundbreaking 2023 paper, also in Science, that found that Native Americans had kept and cared for horses for generations — at least — earlier than historians had once believed. The findings released this week relied on the work of dozens of scientists and traditional elders from Siberia, the Great Plains and Northwestern Canada to assemble the largest ever genetic database of Ice Age horse fossils. That expanded by 30 times the number of sequenced Ice Age horse genomes known to science from two to more than 60. The genetic information in those bones revealed a lost “Arctic highway” that once linked the grasslands of North America and Eurasia, lead author Ludovic Orlando of the Center for Anthropobiology and Genomics of Toulouse told The Hill. Genes from Alaskan horses in specimens found in Spain “cannot just emerge by chance in both continents,” Orlando said. “They must have been shared by horses migrating along and actually having kids with local [horse] populations — not as a one-off event, but a number of times.” This ancient highway repeatedly opened and closed as the ice sheets expanded and retreated — and the land bridge between Asia and the Americas was exposed and submerged — between 50,000 and 13,000 years ago. In that *******, Orlando noted, there were just two separate lineages of humans — our line and the Neanderthals. But at that same time, the team’s research revealed dozens of lineages of horses, some so different that scientists had once thought of them as different species — but which recent genetic evidence shows would have been similar enough to interbreed, and did so. That ancient migration and hybridization helped horses to survive across an enormous range into the modern day, the scientists found — the kind of movement that modern political borders, and 20th-century notions of conservation, increasingly block with fences. “The Western frame is: You buy a piece of property, if you’re lucky, you stay there — and then if the tornado comes, well, it sure sucks to be you,” Running Horse said. “In the past life moved, right? You’re not falling in the ocean, you know?” she said. You just know the threat is coming, and you move.” The paper is part of a broad reevaluation of the relationship between Western and Indigenous modes of science — with science defined as systems that use observation, experimentation and deductive reasoning and peer review to develop working theories of how the universe operates. The difference between these perspectives presents both significant challenges and opportunities, Orlando said: The Lakota “have a radically different way of doing science” that can often make cross-cultural discussions “almost impossible.” But after years of collaboration, Orlando said, he has come to realize that entwined in those systems are powerful perspectives that Western science is only now coming to appreciate: “a number of concepts I might never come to in my life, that are now available to me, or to anybody, or a toolbox that is unlocked — a radically different way of doing science.” These differences creep in at the very root. Western science, Orlando noted, is built on order and separation. Western scientists focus on objectivity, and separation from their subject, a tendency that extends to their ordering systems. The organizing principle of classical Western biology, for example, is the individual species, or — heading up the chain of Linnaean classification — the genus, order or kingdom. (Even the idea of an atomic unit, taken from chemistry, reflects this unconscious bias.) That idea, both Orlando and Running Horse said, carries over into Western ecology in the idea of habitats as tied to specific geographic ranges — seen in the fixed boundaries of national parks, which tend to be islands surrounded by vast swaths of private land — and concerns about saving individual species. In this context, for example, it makes sense to worry about polar bear-grizzly hybrids outcompeting polar bears; to bring back extinct species like the dire wolf; or to shoot “invasive” elk. But this perspective, Running Horse said, is very different from the Lakota approach, in which the core unit of organization is not the individual but the ecosystem. In that perspective, rather than focusing on individuals, biology becomes about a network of relationships from the smallest scale (the microbiome within the gut of an individual animal) up to the broadest web of organisms a given species interacts with. In practical terms, Running Horse said, what that means is that to Lakota scientists, the hybridization of polar and grizzly bears is an adaptive strategy — the seal-eating cousins coming south to rejoin their salmon-eating brethren. Reintroducing dire wolves becomes next to impossible, because the whole network of dire wolf relationships — from the now-extinct microbes in their guts to the species they preyed on and the carrion-eaters that ate their bodies — are now gone. And invasive species are simply doing what life always does to adapt to changing conditions: moving, and helping ecosystems move along with them — an idea that echoes a 2024 paper in Science that found large introduced herbivores like feral pigs and donkeys might actually be beneficial to landscapes. This focus on relationships, Running Horse said, helps us see that those ancient migrating family groups of horses also helped “move other forms of life around.” As the horses moved, for example, they ate seeds, many of which pass through their guts to land, in piles of fertilizer on the other side — sprouting new plants. Specialized insects lay their eggs in the drying horse manure, which are preyed on by birds, which spread fruit seeds in their own droppings. Predators like wolves followed the herds as well, along with their own companion species — from microbes to crows. The great horse highway, sporadically broken by ice sheets and rising seas, ultimately collapsed 12,000 years ago as the climate warmed. In the northwest of what became America, bogs and boreal forests replaced the dry plains and steppe, fed upon and spread by large grazers like wapiti, moose and elk — who lived on, and helped create, the forests that now define the region. Today, things are shifting again. As the climate heats up, wet forests across the Americas are increasingly riven by fires, which are changing the composition of trees — and which may be bringing back the grasslands from Alberta to the Amazon, creating new opportunities for grazers like horses and buffalo. For a world facing the upheaval of climate change, Running Horse said, the practical response is to facilitate adaptive movement across a changing landscape: “the creation of corridors that would allow life to move — together — as needed.” But she made a more philosophical point, too. Faced with radical change, “it is tempting to look back to the past and say that we need to ‘go back,’” she said. But in her tradition, “we understand that the true gift we can bring to life is to deal with what is, and bring to it what is needed.” In that paradigm, Running Horse said, research into horse migration offered a model for navigating a more chaotic future — a scenario she compared to the experience of getting lost on horseback in the dark, in the middle of a thunderstorm. In that scenario, she said, the smart rider stops struggling and takes refuge in trust. “You put your arms around the neck of the horse, and the horse goes right where you need to be.” Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

How To Make An Infinite Water Source In Minecraft How To Make An Infinite Water Source In Minecraft There are many reasons why you might need an infinite water source in Minecraft. Maybe you just want the convenience of having water nearby if you’ve built a base far away from the water. Perhaps you’re in a Minecraft server with challenges such as Skyblock, and need to have additional water with limited space. Whatever your need for infinite water, we’ve got you covered, and even have a solution for infinite water using just one water block. Minecraft water can be found everywhere, but you might not always have it close by How to get infinite water The first guaranteed way to get infinite water in Minecraft is to place two source blocks of water in a 2×2 grid at diagonal corners. This way, you only need four blocks total, as the other two diagonals will convert to source blocks. To add the water, simply craft two buckets and collect it from a nearby river, ocean, or lake. The next, slightly more complicated way, but that only requires one source block, is to dig a T-shaped hole and put one block elevated higher than ground level at the top of the T, resulting in a cross shape. Then, add a water source to the side of the elevated block so that it flows down and fills the dug-out shape. Placing water at diagonals creates new source blocks Then, use bonemeal on the T to create seagrass, and collect the water from the source. The water will remain in the dug out area. You can then dig a 2×2 grid and place the water in one corner, then harvest the water from the T-shape. Place that water diagonally opposite to the previous one, and you’ve got the same result using just one bucket of water. When you’ve got your infinite water supply, you can also check out our Minecraft guides hub for helpful hints on all the Minecraft mobs, to the most useful Minecraft tools to wield.

‘The landscape has become pockmarked’ ‘The landscape has become pockmarked’ Thawing ground in Siberia’s remote Yamal Peninsula is warping the landscape — and residents say the changes are becoming impossible to ignore. Strange mounds, sudden sinkholes, and even explosive craters are reshaping the tundra, alarming locals and researchers alike, per the Malay Mail. These changes are tied to a disturbing trend beneath the surface: the rapid thaw of once-frozen ground, known as permafrost. What’s happening? As Siberia warms at nearly four times the global average, vast stretches of permafrost are thawing. When this frozen ground melts, it releases methane gas from ancient organic material once safely locked beneath the surface. In the Yamal region, that gas is pushing the earth upward into large mounds that sometimes explode, tearing open the landscape and leaving behind deep craters. Innokenty Poselsky, who bought land in Churapcha, noted that he had about 20 mounds pop up but that it wasn’t always like that. “About 40 years ago, there was an airstrip here and the land used to be quite flat. Over the last four decades, the landscape has become pockmarked. It’s like that everywhere here,” he told the Malay Mail. Local villagers, many of whom rely on the tundra for reindeer herding, say their homeland has become nearly unrecognizable. One herder told researchers that familiar flatlands have been replaced by unpredictable swells and holes. Watch now: Giant snails invading New York City?Why is the thawing of Siberia’s permafrost important? Beyond changing the physical landscape, permafrost melt poses major threats to communities and the planet. Thawing ground can damage roads, pipelines, and homes. Methane, the gas being released, is over 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in the short term. That means this process isn’t just a local hazard — it’s a global climate risk. Thawing permafrost can also accelerate other problems. Warmer, wetter conditions can spread disease, disrupt food systems, and increase the severity of extreme weather events by adding more heat-trapping polluting gases to the atmosphere. While extreme events such as wildfires and floods aren’t new, scientists agree that a hotter planet — caused by human activity, mainly the burning of fossil fuels — makes them both more destructive and more frequent. What’s being done about permafrost melt? While reversing permafrost melt requires sweeping systemic changes, there are steps individuals and communities can take to help. Supporting clean energy solutions at home helps reduce planet-warming pollution. Switching to electric heating and reducing fossil fuel use also make measurable differences. Advocating for stronger local policies that invest in climate-resilient infrastructure can protect communities from the ripple effects of environmental instability. Everyday choices, from how we commute to what we eat, can also help contribute to a lower-carbon future.

A place in four pictures: Barrack Street Jetty precinct A place in four pictures: Barrack Street Jetty precinct Sometimes things don’t quite go to the plan. I’ve arrived early to capture the city bathed in the morning light at Elizabeth Quay for another instalment of A Place in Four Pictures series. But my plan is partly thwarted because the pedestrian bridge is closed due to maintenance work. That’s a bummer, because I wanted to use the view from there as my main establishing shot for the picture story, and none of the other angles really float my boat. Improvise, adapt, and overcome. The three word slogan made popular by Clint Eastwood’s character Sergeant Thomas Highway in the movie Heartbreak Ridge comes to mind. So, I head towards the Bell Tower and the Barrack Street Jetty area to see what I can find instead. I feel a little rushed because the morning light changes quickly and I usually like to take my time and enjoy the process of taking pictures. The change of plan turns out to be a good move because it forces me to look for something a bit less obvious than just a nice view of the city. I have my two trusty Sony A7III’s over each shoulder — one with a 24-70 mm zoom, and the other with a 100-400 mm zoom. Using two cameras this way is much easier than fumbling around changing from one lens to another — I can quickly move from wide angle to telephoto as required, and there’s less chance of dropping a lens or getting dirt on the sensor while changing lenses. This is what I came up with from a quick lap around the Barrack Street Jetty precinct. Camera IconThe simple clean composition and the soft early morning light are what makes this pic of two young people enjoying the morning from the balcony of the West *********** Rowing Club work. Even though they are quite small in the frame they are an important element. The pic was shot with my Sony A7III and a 100-400mm set to 170mm, which helps to compress the key elements in the picture and make the South Perth buildings appear closer than they really are. The settings were ISO 800, 1/400th shutter speed and f/7.1 aperture.

I liked the contrast of the South Perth buildings, lit up by the morning light, and the soft muted light on the boardwalk but I felt it needed an extra element so I waited for a person to walk into the frame. The pic is shot with my Sony A7III and a 100-400mm zoom at 150mm. The settings were: 100 ISO, 1/80th second shutter speed and aperture f/7.1. Credit: Mogens Johansen/The West ***********Camera IconAny set of pictures can be enhanced with a detail pic. In this case I have chosen the lights along the boardwalk as a subject because the other pics feature the morning light. The pic was shot with my Sony A7III and a 100-400 mm set to 200 mm, which helps to compress the lamp posts together but it also helped me eliminate unwanted distractions in the area. The settings were ISO 800, 1/160th shutter speed and f/6.3 aperture. Credit: Mogens Johansen/The West AustralianTIPS FOR CREATING A PHOTO STORY Once you’re at your chosen location, put your photographer’s hat on and start looking for pictures. Set the scene: Look for a nice establishing shot that shows where you are. Keep it simple: Identify a key element in the shot and use composition techniques like leading lines, frames or rule of thirds to draw attention to it. Simple, easy-to-understand pictures are always best. Keep it clean: Eliminate unsightly elements in the frame by changing your point of view or focal length. Mix it up: A mix of wide and deep pictures or a close-up or detail shot in a series can add some variety. Pick your time: When we travel, we aren’t always at a location at the best time for photography. The soft light and long shadows around sunrise and sunset are always nice, so if you can, time it so you are there for the “golden hours” to really make your pictures pop. Once you’re home: Edit your pictures hard. Quality beats quantity. If you have taken lots of photos at a place, you may end up with several sets. Group them together like chapters in a book.

New York Knicks end Celtics reign in NBA New York Knicks end Celtics reign in NBA The New York Knicks have reached the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 25 years, ending the one-year NBA title reign of the Boston Celtics. The Knicks posted a 119-81 victory with astonishing ease in Game 6 on Friday night. Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby each scored 23 points for the Knicks, who will face the Indiana Pacers, who they met in their last conference finals appearance in 2000. Game 1 is Wednesday night in New York. The Knicks hadn’t won a playoff series on their home floor since the 1999 East finals. So the celebrations started late in the one-sided first half inside Madison Square Garden and was sure to carry on deep into the night around the arena. Mikal Bridges scored 22 points and Karl-Anthony Towns had 21 for the Knicks, whose 38-point margin of victory was their largest in a postseason game. Jaylen Brown scored 20 points for the Celtics, who lost leading scorer Jayson Tatum to a ruptured Achilles tendon in Game 4 but believed they still had enough to get it back to Boston for Game 7 and keep their title defence alive. It was quickly clear that wasn’t happening. The Celtics led by at least 14 in each of the first five games, but this time the Knicks started fast and kept pouring it on until Boston coach Joe Mazzulla begin pulling his starters in the third quarter after the deficit reached 41 points. The Knicks scored the first seven points of the second quarter to make it 33-20. New York blew it open with a 13-3 run that made it 49-27, a surge highlighted by guard Deuce McBride’s chasedown block of Derrick White’s shot that led to Josh Hart’s second straight basket while being fouled. The Knicks led 64-37 at halftime, a 27-point lead that matched their biggest in a playoff game in the shot-clock era. They led the Lakers 69-42 in Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals, when Willis Reed’s return from injury sparked the Knicks to their first NBA title. There was another three years later, but the Knicks have been shut out since and it didn’t appear this would be the year that could end after the Knicks were a combined 0-8 against Cleveland and Boston, the two teams that finished above them in the East. But they won’t have to worry about the Cavaliers and completely turned things around against the Celtics, overcoming 20-point deficits in the second halves of both games in Boston to open the series. Hart finished with 10 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists for the Knicks. Source link #York #Knicks #Celtics #reign #NBA Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Recordings of Biden Justice Department interview emerge, highlighting his memory lapses Recordings of Biden Justice Department interview emerge, highlighting his memory lapses Snippets from a 2023 interview that led Justice Department special counsel Robert Hur to describe former President Joe Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory” were obtained and published by Axios Friday, showing Biden’s halting tone of voice and difficulty remembering dates. CBS News has confirmed the audio matches the transcript of the interview released by the Biden White House in 2024. In one four-minute clip, Biden was asked by Hur’s team — which was investigating Biden’s handling of classified records — about where he kept his documents shortly after leaving office as vice president. Biden’s response is marked by long pauses, and his voice appears hoarse at times. His speech is especially halting as he describes the ******* around his son Beau’s death. In the audio obtained by news outlet Axios, Biden can also be heard struggling to remember the year when Beau died or the year when President Trump was first elected. Members of his staff can be heard correcting him or reminding him of the date. A written transcript of the five-hour interview was released last year, but portions of the audio released Friday provide context on Biden’s demeanor and memory problems at certain points in the session. In response to the audio, Biden spokesperson Kelly Scully told CBS News in a statement, “The transcripts were released by the Biden administration more than a year ago. The audio does nothing but confirm what is already public.” Biden’s verbal delivery was a key part of Hur’s report. The special counsel wrote in February 2024 that Biden sounded like a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” Hur said it’s a view jurors may share, making it hard to convict Biden of knowingly holding sensitive documents at his home and office. Hur’s report noted “significant limitations” to Biden’s memory, including his difficulty remembering when his son died. Hur recommended against charging Biden with a crime, though he did conclude that Biden “willfully” retained government documents. At the time, Biden and his allies reacted furiously to Hur’s report — especially the “elderly man with a poor memory” line and the comment about Beau Biden’s death. “There’s even a reference that I don’t remember when my son died. How in the hell dare he raise that? Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself it wasn’t any of their damn business,” Biden said last year. “I don’t need anyone to tell me when he passed away.” Biden’s personal attorney Bob Bauer called the report a “shabby piece of work” filled with “totally inappropriate and pejorative comments.” The Biden White House counsel’s office asked Hur’s team to revise the report, calling its references to Biden’s memory “inflammatory.” The report was released as concerns swirled about then-80-year-old Biden’s age and fitness to run for another term, though at the time, Democratic officials publicly backed Biden and slammed Hur. Republicans, meanwhile, cited the report as evidence of Biden’s fading cognitive abilities and pushed for audio of the interview to be released. But months later, Biden’s rocky June debate against Mr. Trump — in which he repeatedly struggled to complete his sentences — reignited worries about his age, leading to Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race amid pressure from his party. Biden’s decisions during that ******* have drawn new scrutiny in recent weeks, as books that offer glimpses inside his campaign hit the shelves. Some of the books describe Biden’s struggles with age, his aides’ maneuvers to keep him in the race and the abrupt shift from Biden to eventual nominee Kamala Harris weeks after the Trump-Biden debate. Biden has strongly denied any lapses in his cognitive ability, telling “The View” last week, “there’s nothing to sustain that.” Joe Walsh Joe Walsh is a senior editor for digital politics at CBS News. Joe previously covered breaking news for Forbes and local news in Boston.

China’s humanoid robots will not replace human workers, Beijing official says China’s humanoid robots will not replace human workers, Beijing official says By Eduardo Baptista BEIJING (Reuters) -China’s humanoid robots will not replace human workers and cause mass unemployment, according to a ******** official who oversees a tech hub in Beijing, amid a rapid expansion of the sector and state funding for it. Liang Liang, a deputy director at the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, which hosts one of China’s largest tech hubs, said in an interview on Friday with foreign media that he does not believe that humanoid robots will replace their human creators, but will boost productivity and operate in hazardous environments. “We don’t believe robots will make people unemployed, but rather they’ll boost efficiency or take on tasks humans are unwilling to do – like exploring the vast universe or the ocean depths where people can’t go. Machines can assist us in that exploration,” Liang said. “When it’s nighttime and humans need rest, machines could keep working, giving us better, cheaper, and more user-friendly products. So we see this as the direction for our future development,” he added. Liang explained that the world’s first robot half-marathon held last month in Beijing was deliberately set up in a way that would highlight his and other officials’ hopes that these humanoids will support and assist humans, rather than replace them. The half-marathon featured two tracks separated by a railing, with humans competing against each other on one side while on the other side 20 teams each operated a robot, varying wildly in size and ability. “You see, in the marathon, humans have their track where they push their physical limits, and the machines have their own track where they jointly challenge their limits – but they aren’t trying to take over the human course to sprint to the finish line. The future will be like this too,” Liang said. Liang spoke to reporters at the headquarters of state-backed X-Humanoid, also known as the Beijing Humanoid Robotics Innovation Centre, whose robot Tiangong Ultra won the inaugural robot half-marathon. Besides the sports-focused Ultra model, which can reach a top speed of 12 kph (7.56 mph), the centre also displayed other protypes that showed it was working on robots that can complete mundane tasks in the face of obstructions and changing environments. In one demonstration, an employee repeatedly moved the position of a piece of litter or snatched it from the robot’s hand, which would then relocate the object and carry out the task until it was completed, a self-corrective ability the centre says will be key in turning the humanoids into productive workers.
