CNN  —  New Zealand police have announced renewed efforts to find Thomas Callam Phillips, a fugitive who has been on the run with his three children since 2021. Officers will be searching the area in and around Te Waitere and Te Maika, which are rural communities in the Waikato region of New Zealand’s North Island, around 13 miles from where Phillips was last seen, over the next few days, police said in a statement published Wednesday. “This has not been prompted by any specific sighting – it is simply a continuation of the ongoing investigation,” Detective Senior Sergeant Andy Saunders…

CNN  —  It’s easy for Americans to think President Donald Trump’s aluminum and steel tariffs won’t affect them. Most of us aren’t shopping for raw metals, after all. Yet the 25% tariffs rolled out on Wednesday could still manage to dent consumers’ wallets. From cans for food, beer and soda to cars and much, much more, steel and aluminum are used in innumerable consumer products. And much of that steel and aluminum comes from abroad, which means companies could pass on the cost of tariffs to American shoppers. While it’s still too early for CEOs to say exactly how the…

CNN  —  Dawn Robinson was a founding member of a successful singing group that was part of the pop soundtrack of the ’90s, but things have changed. In a video shared on her YouTube channel Tuesday, the former member of En Vogue, whose many hits include “My Lovin’” and “Hold On,” revealed that hard times have led to her living in her car. Robinson said she planned to share this information when she first started her channel, though some people told her, “You shouldn’t talk about it because you’re a celebrity and what if they judge you?” “I’m like ok…

CNN  —  Russian forces have recaptured Sudzha, the largest town that Ukraine once occupied in the Kursk region, according to Moscow, threatening Kyiv’s sole territorial bargaining chip amid pressure to negotiate an end to the war. “In the course of the offensive operations, units of the North military group liberated the settlements of Melovoy, Podol and Sudzha,” the Russian defense ministry said Thursday. The US-based conflict monitor the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) also said footage from the ground indicated that Russian forces had seized Sudzha and advanced to southern Zaoleshenka, a settlement just northwest of Sudzha. Its…

CNN  —  Concerns about the nation’s economy have grown in the first months of President Donald Trump’s return to office, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, as few Americans see his policies as having helped economic conditions and 55% say his cuts to federal programs will do economic harm. Americans split evenly over whether economic conditions a year from now will be good (49%) or poor (51%), but the share saying they expect the economy to be in bad shape a year from now is up 7 points since January, just before Trump took office. Jitters on…

New York CNN  —  It started with tariffs, but the trade war is quickly escalating beyond import taxes into a broader tit-for-tat battle. President Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canada offended leaders there to the point that Ontario fired back by yanking American booze from store shelves. Ontario Premier Doug Ford even threatened to slap a surcharge on or even pull the plug on electricity sent to three US states, raising the specter of power bill spikes or even blackouts. That angered Trump so much that he briefly vowed to hit all US imports of Canadian steel and aluminum with…

CNN  —  A month after losing her job at the Department of Veterans Affairs, Corinne Bazarnyj is still waiting to be approved for unemployment benefits. The disabled veteran who started at the agency as a training specialist in November was caught up in the Trump administration’s mass culling of probationary workers, who typically have less than one or two years in their positions. Like many other probationary employees, Bazarnyj got a termination letter saying she’d been let go because of performance – even though she hadn’t been on the job long enough to have an evaluation – potentially making it…

CNN  —  If you ask someone to name the Supreme Court’s single greatest moment, many will cite the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision. That landmark ruling, which unanimously found that the racial segregation of students in public schools was unconstitutional, is considered a turning point in American history. But 70 years after the Court ordered public schools to desegregate at “all deliberate speed,” many public schools in America remain racially separate and unequal. And this racial isolation is deepening. Racial segregation has increased 64% since 1988 in the nation’s 100 largest school districts, according to a 2024 study…
