Jerusalem CNN — Sitting inside her fly-infested tent in Gaza City, Iman Rajab sifts clumps of flour through a sieve, over and over again. She found the half-bag of flour in a garbage dumpster. It is crawling with pests and shows clear signs of contamination. But it’s still Rajab’s best hope for keeping her six children fed and alive. So she sifts the flour once more to make bread. “My kids are vomiting after they eat it. It smells horrible,” Rajab says of the bread it produces. “But what else can I do? What will I feed my children if…
Washington AP — A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the Trump administration to restore $12 million that Congress appropriated for Radio Free Europe, a pro-democracy media outlet at risk of going dark for the first time in 75 years. US District Judge Royce Lamberth also tucked a lesson on the three branches of government inside Tuesday’s ruling, cautioning that the system of checks and balances established by the US Constitution must remain intact if the nation is going to continue to thrive. Lamberth granted the temporary restraining order for the US Agency for Global Media to disburse money for April…

Warren, Michigan CNN — On the 100th day, he rallied. Crossing the symbolic barrier between the first 100 days of his presidency and the 1,361 that remain, Trump basked in adulation from a supportive crowd and declared that he had just completed the “the most successful first 100 days of any administration in the history of our country.” He waxed nostalgic about his last act with familiar grievances and hyperbolic claims, and seized the moment to set a course for the next one. Yet the events of the day only illustrated that for all the action he’s taken so far,…
CNN — As servicemen aboard the US Navy aircraft carrier dumped millions of dollars of military hardware into the South China Sea, the commander chose not to watch. Capt. Larry Chambers knew his order to push helicopters off the flight deck of the USS Midway could cost him his military career, but it was a chance he was willing to take. Above his head, a South Vietnamese air force major, Buang-Ly, was circling the carrier in a tiny airplane with his wife and five children aboard and needed space to land. It was April 29, 1975. To the west of…

CNN — Inhabited by a succession of Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Scandinavians and Normans, Britain has spent centuries simmering into a confusing toponymic soup of counties, cities and castles. Over time, their names have further shifted and skewed, taking on their own idiosyncrasies and sometimes becoming utterly unpredictable. Happisburgh is “Haze-bur-ruh.” Cholmondeley is “Chum-lee”. Leominster is “Lem-stuh.” In a land where rules are so often cast out the window, sometimes it’s simply a…
CNN — As top Republicans give themselves just two months to pass President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending cuts package, some GOP lawmakers are worrying it’s not enough time to resolve their biggest intraparty fights. Under fierce pressure from the White House, GOP officials are attempting to finalize that package by a self-imposed deadline of July 4 – with Speaker Mike Johnson insisting he can pass the House’s bill sooner. But many rank-and-file Republicans worry that breakneck pace isn’t realistic with the massive policy landmines that lie ahead, from corporate tax perks to health care cuts that are already…
New York CNN — Companion-like artificial intelligence apps pose “unacceptable risks” to children and teenagers, nonprofit media watchdog Common Sense Media said in a report published Wednesday. The report follows a lawsuit filed last year over the suicide death of a 14-year-old boy whose last conversation was with a chatbot. That lawsuit, brought against the app Character.AI, thrust this new category of conversational apps into the spotlight — along with their potential risks to young people, leading to calls for more safety measures and transparency. The kinds of conversations detailed in that lawsuit — such as sexual exchanges and messages…
A version of this story appeared in CNN Business’ Nightcap newsletter. To get it in your inbox, sign up for free here. New York CNN — America’s CEOs have spent much of second Trump administration cutting million-dollar checks for his inauguration fund, putting out press releases touting their “new” investments in domestic production, and generally keeping quiet about the administration’s defiance of democratic norms. Any pushback against the White House’s trashing of the global economic order has been handled behind closed doors. The corporate elite are playing nice, hoping that doing so will buy them time before President Donald Trump…
