New York CNN — Sam Bankman-Fried, the convicted crypto fraudster who is serving 25 years in prison, is breaking his silence about his life behind bars in a new interview with Tucker Carlson. One major point of interest about Bankman-Fried has been about whether he has befriended disgraced rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is serving time in the same Brooklyn detention center on racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges. Combs has pleaded not guilty. Bankman-Fried told Carlson that Diddy is “kind to people in the unit,” adding that he’s “been kind to me.” “It’s kind of a soul crushing place…

Kelly Stafford said Thursday that she was relieved after the Los Angeles Rams agreed to a restructured contract with Super Bowl champion Matthew Stafford last week, but for Kelly, it was not always smooth sailing in the Stafford household. During the latest episode of her podcast “The Morning After,” Kelly was joined by her husband to discuss his new contract, which did not extend his time with the Rams beyond his original extension, but it did raise his salary substantially across his final two seasons. Matthew Stafford, #9 of the Los Angeles Rams, and his wife Kelly Stafford look on prior to the…
Brisbane, Australia CNN — The outer bands of Tropical Cyclone Alfred are lashing Australia’s east coast with wind and rain as the rare southerly storm’s eye inches closer to landfall expected on Saturday morning.

As of Friday evening, Alfred was around 105 kilometers (65 miles) east of Brisbane, moving west with damaging winds around 95 kilometers per hour (59 miles per hour), according to Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology (BOM).

CNN — A day after offering Canada a one-month reprieve on punishing, virtually across-the-board 25% tariffs, President Donald Trump has threatened new tariffs as soon as Friday on Canadian lumber and dairy products. It’s yet another twist in a serpentine trade policy that seems to shift on an hourly basis. “Canada has been ripping us off for years on lumber and on dairy products,” Trump said in an Oval Office address Friday, citing Canada’s roughly 250% tariff on US dairy exports to the country. Trump said America would match those tariffs dollar-for-dollar. “We may do it as early as today,…
CNN — When King Charles gets up in the morning, what tunes does he select to start his day? It’s a mix of genres across decades, according to a new Apple Music broadcast show and playlist the monarch has curated – from reggae legend Bob Marley to the more recently Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter RAYE. “Throughout my life, music has meant a great deal to me. I know that is also the case for so many others,” the King says in the opening remarks of the broadcast, recorded at Buckingham Palace and scheduled to air March 10 to mark Commonwealth Day. GET…
Washington CNN — America is feeling uneasy about the Trump administration’s rapid-fire trade policy changes, but Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Friday he’s not worried. “Despite elevated levels of uncertainty, the US economy continues to be in a good place,” Powell said at an event hosted by the University of Chicago. “Sentiment readings have not been a good predictor of consumption growth in recent years.” “We do not need to be in a hurry, and are well positioned to wait for greater clarity,” he said. The Trump administration’s whipsawing on trade policy has sowed uncertainty for America’s decision makers,…
CNN — Watching the trio of female best friends on Season 3 of “The White Lotus” exchange loaded glances over goblets of wine and pieces of vibrant fruit, you might find yourself reacting the same way “Great British Bake Off” judge Paul Hollywood would to a perfectly executed Schichttorte: Look at those incredible layers!
