CNN  —  It seems almost every time Mikaela Shiffrin steps out onto the slopes, she makes more skiing history. And on Sunday, the American skier broke yet another record with her 156th podium finish as she finished third in the slalom in Åre, Sweden. With that third-place finish, Shiffrin now has the most World Cup podiums of all time, surpassing the record set by Swedish skier Ingemar Stenmark, who competed in the 1970s and 80s. Shiffrin, who recently became the first downhill skier to reach 100 World Cup wins, now holds so many records that she admitted it was difficult…

CNN  —  America’s nearly five-year economic boom is starting to show its age. Cracks are forming in the economy’s foundation: Layoffs are mounting, hiring is slowing, consumer confidence is eroding and inflation is picking up speed. Although all of those things would almost certainly be happening if former Vice President Kamala Harris had won the election, the uncertainty that President Donald Trump’s economic policy has unleashed is exacerbating those problems. Tariffs — particularly the on-again, off-again nature of Trump’s dictates — are sowing confusion for businesses, consumers and investors alike, and they’re stoking concerns about inflation at a time when…

CNN  —  Israel says it has cut the flow of electricity to the last facility in Gaza that was still receiving power from the Israel Electric Corporation. “I just signed an order for the immediate halt of electricity to the Gaza Strip,” Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen said in a statement Saturday, adding that the country would “operate all of the tools that are at our disposal, to ensure the return of all the hostages.” Israel cut off electricity supplies to Gaza following the Hamas’ attacks of October 7, 2023, in which more than 1,200 people were killed and 251…

CNN  —  A South Carolina woman faces charges after igniting yard debris that burned out of control and allegedly sparked a wildfire that has scorched more than 2,000 acres near Myrtle Beach, the state’s forestry officials said. Alexandra Bialousow, 40, of Myrtle Beach, was arrested Thursday on charges of negligently allowing fire to spread beyond her land or property and starting a fire in woodlands, grasslands or other areas without taking necessary precautions, the South Carolina Forestry Commission said in a statement Friday. “According to the arrest warrant, the suspect ‘did not have an appropriate water source readily available,’ nor…

Hong Kong CNN  —  Warships from Iran, China and Russia kicked off their annual joint exercises in the Gulf of Oman on Monday, showing off their military ties as US President Donald Trump upends longstanding Western alliances. The “Security Belt-2025” drills, taking place near the Iranian port of Chabahar, is the fifth joint naval exercise Iran, China and Russia have held since 2019, according to Chinese state media. Analysts have long seen the drills as a demonstration of the growing partnership among the three authoritarian powers as they seek to counterbalance US influence and challenge the Western-led global order. But…

Buenos Aires CNN  —  The P-3 propellor plane banks sharply, silhouetted against dozens of shimmering lights in the sea against an Argentine sunset. As the camera pans across the scene, it becomes clear: the glaring lights come from dozens of fishing vessels dotting the ocean below. The footage, shared by the Argentine military in late February, shows the overwhelming scale of a flotilla near a marine boundary which separates the country’s more restrictive exclusive economic zone from less-regulated international waters. This area, about 200 nautical miles off the coast of southern Argentina, is notorious for illegal and unregulated fishing —…

Hong Kong CNN  —  Consumer prices in China have plunged to their lowest level in more than a year, highlighting persistent deflationary pressures in the world’s second-largest economy. The Consumer Price Index (CPI), a benchmark for measuring inflation, fell by 0.7% in February from the previous year, China’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said on Sunday. The decline was sharper than predicted by a Reuters poll of analysts, reversing January’s modest 0.5% increase and marking the first contraction since January 2024. Deflation is a problem because it gives people little incentive to spend right now, in expectation of lower prices.…

CNN  —  An armed adult man was shot by US Secret Service personnel on Sunday morning outside the White House, the agency announced shortly after the incident. President Donald Trump was not at the White House Sunday morning. According to Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi, USSS received information about a “suicidal individual” who was traveling to DC from Indiana. Guglielmi said in a statement that USSS members saw a person matching the description near the White House and found their parked car. “As officers approached, the individual brandished a firearm and an armed confrontation ensued, during which shots…

Democratic Sen. Andy Kim of New Jersey said Sunday that a bipartisan short-term government funding bill is the best path to averting a shutdown this week, highlighting the challenges congressional Republicans potentially face in advancing a plan without Democratic votes. “Republicans are in charge of this process right now,” Kim told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.” Kim accused House Speaker Mike Johnson, whose GOP leadership team unveiled a Trump-backed stopgap bill on Saturday, of walking away from “ongoing” bipartisan talks. The senator said he would prefer to vote for a bill that extends current funding levels for…
