Jonathan Raa | Nurphoto | Getty ImagesOPEC+ has agreed an increase in oil output of 188,000 barrels per day, the cartel said on Sunday, as it pushes on with production in the first meeting since the loss of its key member, the United Arab Emirates.The group of seven major oil producers announced it would increase June production by slightly less than May's output hike of 206,000 bpd. Sunday's figure excludes the United Arab Emirates share of output, which officially departed OPEC+ on May 1. The seven countries included Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Oman."In their collective commitment to support oil market stability, the seven participating countries decided to implement a production adjustment of 188 thousand barrels per day from the additional voluntary adjustments announced in April 2023," OPEC said in its statement.Oil supply has been choked since the Iran war began on February 28, as the Strait of Hormuz – a vital shipping route for global oil and gas supplies – has remained effectively closed. Concerns around production were amplified further on Tuesday with news of the shock departure of the UAE, the cartel's third-largest producer.The Gulf state concluded that exiting the group was in its national

For Shakira, it was part of her "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran," or "Women No Longer Cry," world tour named after her 2024 album.Shakira's set kicked off around 11 p.m., more than an hour after the scheduled slot, to her fans screaming with excitement and frantic applause as skywriting drones flew overhead, spelling out in the sky, "I love you Brazil" in Portuguese.The megastar spoke fondly about the first time she came to Brazil, some three decades ago."I arrived here when I was 18 years old, dreaming about singing for you," Shakira told the crowd shortly after coming on stage. "And now look at this. Life is magical."The much-loved pop star sang fan favorites such as "Hips Don't Lie," "La Tortura" and "La Bicicleta."

There’s a global rush for new sources of lithium to power the green-energy transition, including a major push for mining the critical metal in the U.S. Columbia Journalism Investigations and Inside Climate News teamed up to track this development trend. Here’s how we collected and analyzed data on new lithium projects—and examined which communities may be most affected by them. The Data We Used We built a global dataset of lithium mining projects, including those in operating, planned and early stages, as well as the locations and the companies involved. The dataset was primarily based on information culled from the financial firm S&P Global, which we cross-checked with government databases and company reports, filings, investor presentations and responses to questionnaires we sent to companies. We also used proprietary data from other providers, such as GlobalData. While we compiled most of the data manually, some fields were generated through automated document and web scraping and then verified. We used additional S&P data to identify the shareholders of all companies involved in lithium mines. We manually downloaded company reports and used automated PDF scraping to build a second dataset that shows the largest shareholders, up to 25 per company. Some companies list

Working under harsh fluorescent lights at the border inspection post at the port of Antwerp, Van Cotthem checks the paperwork and taps the ladder with a magnet to check if it really is aluminium and not another metal.It is an everyday operation for customs officers at Antwerp, one of Europe’s main commercial gateways, which handled the equivalent of 13.6m 20ft-long (6 metres) containers last year. Everything is in order and the lorry, jam-packed with identical boxed ladders, can get on its way to Germany.But it’s not always so straightforward. Along with routine attempts to evade duties or import counterfeit goods, customs officers are grappling with relentless efforts by violent criminals to smuggle drugs, especially cocaine, into Europe.Sara Van Cotthem at work at the port of Antwerp.

The federal government is undergoing an unprecedented presidential branding makeover, with Donald Trump’s name being added to everything from buildings and battleships to a drug website and a park pass.While Trump has had roads and even an airport named after him since winning a second term in office, his administration has initiated a series of actions to imprint his name and likeness on the federal government well beyond internal documents and communications.Not all of those efforts have been successful, such as a push to have a New York City train station and Washington, D.C.-area airport named after Trump. But the scope of the others is enormous, including the addition of his signature to U.S. paper currency — a first for a sitting U.S. president.The branding is in stark contrast to prior presidencies, including Trump’s first term, when the largest branding controversy involved having his name added to Covid relief checks during an election year.Here’s a look at all the places and items where the administration has added Trump’s name during his second term.Donald J.

A Democratic-backed candidate has won a closely contested mayoral race in Pearland, Texas, a Republican-leaning suburb of Houston in Brazoria County that has consistently voted for President Donald Trump since 2016.Winning candidate Quentin Wiltz shared the results of the contest on his Instagram account on Saturday, writing: “I am deeply humbled, incredibly grateful, and honored by the trust you have placed in me.”In recent weeks, there has been a trend of Democratic-backed candidates making gains in seats typically held by Republican-endorsed electives, which could be an early warning sign for the GOP as the November midterms draw nearer, though the party has largely dismissed their impact.While the results have not yet been officially certified, early figures show Wiltz securing 51 percent of the vote compared with Republican-endorsed candidate Tony Carbone’s 49 percent.Carbone also congratulated Wiltz in a Facebook post, writing: “I wish him success as he serves our community,” adding that “tonight didn’t end the way we had hoped, but I’m deeply grateful for the support, encouragement, and trust so many in our community showed throughout this campaign.”Newsweek has contacted Wiltz, Carbone, and Brazoria County Republican and Democratic groups outside of regular working hours via email for comment....Local Political LandscapeWhile
As voting is underway in Georgia’s primary and the midterms approach, one of Republicans’ top pickup opportunities, Georgia, is heating up. The state still leans right, but the GOP has yet to rally around a candidate in either race, giving Democrat Senator Jon Ossoff time to prepare for reelection while the open governor’s race continues to fuel intraparty divisions.“Georgia is still more Republican than Democratic. However...there are conditions under which Democrats can win,” Charles Bullock, a political science professor at the University of Georgia, told Newsweek in a Friday email.John Feehery, partner at EFB Advocacy, described the state to Newsweek as a sort of political “puzzle.” President Donald Trump carried Georgia by about 2.2 points in the 2024 presidential election, after Joe Biden won the state by roughly 0.2 points in 2020. Trump won Georgia by about 5 points in 2016, while Mitt Romney won it by roughly 8 points in 2012 and John McCain by about 5 points in 2008.The state currently has two Democratic U.S. senators and a Republican governor, highlighting its increasingly competitive and mixed political landscape.Senate RaceOssoff was first elected to the Senate in January 2021 after defeating Republican incumbent David Perdue in a closely watched
May 3, 2026, 7:02 AM EDTA photo exhibition offering a rare look into industrial fishing in Southeast Asia — and its impact on fragile marine ecosystems — was on display at a New York gallery last month. The nine-month investigation by freelance photojournalist Nicole Tung, titled “Overfishing in Southeast Asia,” spans Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia. The work was recently displayed at the Bronx Documentary Center, a nonprofit gallery and educational space.More than a dozen images capture Filipino fishermen at sea, threatened species including sharks and wedgefish, and hundreds of commercial fishing vessels docked in Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta. Filipino fishermen returning from about a month at sea unloaded catches of yellowfin tuna, bigeye tuna and blue marlin last May at the General Santos fish port, which is known as the Philippines’ tuna capital. Nicole TungWhile the United States enforces strict laws governing seafood imports tied to forced labor, Tung said more oversight is needed.“Buyers don’t always know where it’s coming from,” she said in an interview on “NBC News Daily.”03:51She added that women in the industry face growing uncertainty, often working on docks while their husbands are employed on commercial fishing vessels. If their husbands go missing, “there’s usually no
The Eta Aquariid meteor shower will peak overnight from May 5-6, giving skywatchers a chance to spot fast-moving "shooting stars" created by debris from Halley's Comet.The Eta Aquariids (also spelled Eta Aquarids) are active from April 19 to May 28 each year, with meteors appearing to radiate from the constellation Aquarius, specifically near the star Eta Aquarii, according to Time and Date. The star, which is 168 light-years away, is visible to the naked eye — however, that distant star really has nothing to do with the shower.Halley's Comet is currently traveling through the outer reaches of the solar system, beyond the orbit of Neptune. But twice each year, Earth passes through the trail of dust and debris that the comet has previously left behind. That creates both the Eta Aquariids in April and May and the Orionid meteor shower from early October to early November.As Earth moves through Halley's debris, tiny particles enter the atmosphere at around 40.7 miles per second (65.4 kilometers per second), according to the American Meteor Society, producing swift meteors and persistent glowing trails. Bright fireballs are possible, but rare. Eta Aquariid activity is strongest for about a week centered on the peak night.From the
Quick factsWhat it is: Sombrero Galaxy (M104)Where it is: 30 million light-years away, in the constellations Virgo and CorvusWhen it was shared: April 24, 2026The central bulge and dark dust trail, which together resemble a traditional Mexican hat, give the Sombrero Galaxy (Messier 104, or M104) its nickname — but this new image of the galaxy from the powerful Dark Energy Camera reveals two never-before-seen features.What sets this image apart are features that are usually too faint to detect. Surrounding the galaxy in this wide-angle image is an enormous, diffuse halo that extends far beyond the bright disk, stretching over three times the width of the sombrero itself and significantly increasing the galaxy's apparent size.The image also captures a faint stellar stream stretching away from one side of the galaxy. This thin, curved feature is barely perceptible at first glance, but a closer inspection reveals it as a distinct arc of light beneath the galaxy as it's shown here. It breaks the galaxy's perfect symmetry and suggests past violent interactions with a smaller satellite galaxy.The remarkable clarity of the image is due to the capabilities of the Dark Energy Camera, a 570-megapixel instrument mounted on the Víctor M.

The U.S. is now unmatched in a regrettable category. Among rich and spend-happy nations that are globally seen as safe investments, the U.S. beats out the competition when it comes to the size of its debt burden, as the nation’s public liabilities have exceeded the size of its economy for the first time since World War II. On Thursday, the nonpartisan watchdog Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB) announced that U.S. debt held by the public, estimated to be $31.27 trillion, officially surpassed the country’s annual GDP of $31.22 trillion in March, basing its analysis on new data released this week by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Rising debt comes with a long list of economic risks, including the threat that the cost of servicing that debt might crowd out other essential government spending. Another consequence would be a deterioration of the country’s once-top tier credit rating, a scenario that could lead to higher borrowing costs and even more constrained government spending. After the CRFB’s announcement, one of the world’s foremost rate-setters warned how close that scenario is to becoming reality. The U.S.’s credit rating—a measure of a country’s creditworthiness and expected ability to repay debt—risks slipping due to
For the past several years, Peltzman has been combing through the General Social Survey, a random-sample poll that has asked Americans the same simple question since 1972: Are you happy? What he found about the years since the pandemic stopped him cold. “There was a huge hit,” he told me recently. “And then it’s only a little bit coming back. So when you’re all done, there’s an unprecedented decline into the whole of the 2020s.” Americans are now at their least happy point in the survey’s 50-year history. Peltzman’s measure — the percentage saying “very happy” minus the percentage saying “not very happy” — ran at roughly +20 points on average from 1972 through the last pre-pandemic survey in 2018. That baseline held through wars, recessions, assassinations, stagflation, and 9/11. None of it broke the floor in any sustained way. Then 2020 hit. The crash was 22.2 percentage points — by far the largest single move in the survey’s history. The number of people saying “not very happy” actually exceeded those saying “very happy” for the first time ever. The measure has come back somewhat since 2021 to around +6 as of 2024, resulting in a shift from +20 to
His town has embraced small government ideals but struggles to provide basic services and has no sewer system Published May 3, 2026 6:00AM (EDT) Texas flag (DIGITALproshots/Getty Images) This article originally appeared on ProPublica. In February, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit accusing Dallas officials of failing to adequately fund the city’s police department and violating a voter-approved measure requiring it to hire up to 900 new officers. “I filed this lawsuit to ensure that the City of Dallas fully funds law enforcement, upholds public safety, and is accountable to its constituents,” Paxton said in a news release demanding that the city adhere to a 2024 change in its charter. “When voters demand more funding for law enforcement, local officials must immediately comply.” The reason Paxton could pursue such action, the reason the Dallas city charter even requires hiring more officers, was due in large part to a man named Art Martinez de Vara. A private attorney with a law practice based in Houston and a tiny South Texas town called Von Ormy, Martinez de Vara was one of the driving forces behind the changes in the charter that opened Dallas up to such a lawsuit in the

May 3, 2026 / 6:38 AM EDT / AP Add CBS News on Google Police in eastern Austria say a 39-year-old suspect has been arrested after rat poison turned up in some HiPP baby food jars on supermarket shelves in central Europe.HiPP, which recalled some of its baby food jars in Austria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic after the case came to light last month, said in a statement Saturday it was "greatly relieved" by the arrest, and would provide a further updates as verified details come in.The Burgenland State Criminal Police Office, under the direction of prosecutors, said a probe was launched after poison turned up in a baby food jar purchased at a supermarket in the city of Eisenstadt on April 18.It said the suspect was being questioned, and that no further details would be immediately provided. The Burgenland public prosecutor's office has announced an investigation into suspected "intentional endangerment of the public."The Austrian Press Agency reported that an expert report on the toxicity of the poison was pending. A total of five tampered baby food jars were seized before they could be consumed, APA reported.Authorities said previously they believe the tampering occurred in 190-gram (6.7-ounce) jars of
A person was found dead after a vehicle plowed into a health club in downtown Portland, Oregon, early Saturday morning, police said. Investigators later found explosives inside the car.Portland police and the Portland fire and rescue department responded to the Multnomah Athletic Club shortly before 3am after the vehicle crashed through the front entrance and caught fire. Once the blaze was brought under control, a person was found dead inside the vehicle, police said in a statement.An explosive disposal unit was called in after evidence of an explosive device was discovered, police said.Sources said the driver of the vehicle was a former employee of the club, the Oregonian newspaper reported. According to investigators, one of the sources said, the former employee – allegedly disgruntled and with mental health issues – rented a car on Friday, which he used to drive into the building and around the first floor of the facility before setting off the explosive devices, believed to be a mix of propane tanks and pipe bombs, the Oregonian reported.The club’s first floor housed a casual restaurant, formal event spaces, a members’ lounge overlooking Providence Park, a retail store and the front desk. Other amenities included workout rooms, pools,
They are two small sketches by the Renaissance master Hans Holbein: one has long been considered to be a portrait of Henry VIII’s doomed second wife, Anne Boleyn, and the other is of an unknown woman whose name was lost to time.Now researchers using AI have discovered that the unnamed woman might be the tragic queen after all, while the other figure could in fact be Boleyn’s mother.The works, which belong to the Royal Collection and are known as the Windsor sketch and the Unidentified Woman, respectively, were analysed by a team at the University of Bradford, who found that they might have been incorrectly inscribed in the 1700s, leading to a misunderstanding that has lasted centuries.The Windsor sketch. Illustration: Royal Collection Enterprises Limited 2026 | Royal Collection TrustThe independent scholar Karen Davies was studying the Holbein corpus of images, which number more than 80, and had her suspicions about the Windsor sketch, which shows the sitter in side profile. She was light-skinned, with red hair, while Boleyn was often described as being of a darker complexion.The corpus was also known for its inconsistent labelling, with an image of Boleyn’s cousin Henry Howard actually being of his father.

Historical records do show that about 170 years ago, the star Eta Carinae underwent an unusual outburst that made it one of the brightest stars in the southern sky. But it wasn't a supernova, it was a "supernova impostor." (Image credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble; Processing & License: Judy Schmidt) Staring up at the night sky, you might envision a star flaring up, burning thousands of times brighter than usual. That's a cosmic explosion — a supernova! Except it isn't. The star lives on.These violent, non-fatal eruptions can make a star mimic a true supernova — leading to what we affectionately call "supernova impostors."Trying to understand these supernova impostors is like trying to weigh a raging volcano's output without getting too close. We know it's important, but measuring how much material these stars eject, and what makes them do it, is surprisingly hard.Current ways of measuring mass loss from, say, infrared or radio observations, typically only show us what's happening right now. But these stars spit stuff out in fits and starts, not a steady stream. And when we try to average it all out across stellar populations, we lose the juicy details of individual star behavior.For decades, astronomers have concocted
Defense lawyers for the man charged with trying to assassinate President Donald Trump during the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner last week say he’s being deprived of his dignity and resources by being unnecessarily kept under suicide precautions.In a motion filed Saturday, Cole Tomas Allen's attorneys requested that he be taken off any suicide restrictions, which they characterized as “demeaning,” while he’s awaiting further hearings in the case.Allen’s attorneys wrote that his “placement on suicide watch and suicide precautions amount to violations of his rights under the Due Process Clause to the U.S. Constitution” because he “has exhibited no indications of suicidality,” the motion filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia states.FORSUBSCRIBERS00:0000:00Prosecutors could face this challenge at trial for WHCA dinner suspect01:36Allen was armed with multiple guns, as well as knives, officials have said, when he sprinted through a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton hotel, where the event was being held on April 25.

US secretary of state Marco Rubio will travel to Rome this week, a visit reportedly aimed at thawing frosty relations with the Italian government and the Vatican.Rubio will be in the Italian capital on Thursday and Friday, which will also mark the one-year anniversary of the papacy of Pope Leo, the first US-born pontiff.A foreign ministry source confirmed that Rubio will travel to Rome and meet the Vatican’s secretary of state, Pietro Parolin, and Antonio Tajani, Italy’s deputy prime minister and foreign minister. Rubio has asked to meet prime minister Giorgia Meloni, but the request has not yet been granted, the source added.According to reports in Corriere della Sera, Rubio’s trip was announced in a letter to the Italian government from the US ambassador to Rome, Tilman Fertitta, who the daily newspaper said has been working on rebuilding “the bridge” between the two countries in the weeks since US president Donald Trump’s unprecedented broadside against Leo over the pontiff’s condemnation of the US-Israeli war on Iran, and subsequent breakdown in relations with Rome.Trump berated Meloni, previously one of his closest allies in Europe, after she called out his remarks against Leo, criticising her government for not supporting the strikes on
The Perseus Star crude oil tanker departs the Port of Corpus Christi in Corpus Christi, Texas, US, on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026.Eddie Seal | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesThe Port of Corpus Christi has never been busier as tankers from around the world flock to the U.S. Gulf Coast to load up on crude oil during the Iran war. The Texas port was the third-largest oil export terminal in the world before the war behind Ras Tanura in Saudi Arabia and Basra in Iraq. Its importance has only grown since, as U.S. crude oil exports have surged to a record and the two big Persian Gulf ports are largely cut off from the world due to Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. oil exports have jumped to 5.2 million barrels per day (bpd) in April, a more than 30% increase over the 3.9 million bpd exported in February before the war, according to data from Kpler. March was the busiest month in the history of the Port of Corpus Christi, and the first quarter was its busiest quarter ever, said CEO Kent Britton. Oil exports have increased to about 2.5 million barrels per day since the war started compared

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A court filing by prosecutors in the case against Cole Allen, accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump, provided a glimpse into the 31-year-old's mind in the days leading up to last weekend's attack at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in Washington, D.C.According to the filing, Allen boarded an Amtrak train on April 21 after purchasing a one-way ticket from Los Angeles to the nation's capital, stopping in only Chicago to change trains. While he rode, prosecutors say he "kept a running note on his phone of his observations and thoughts during his cross-country train journey."But those notes had nothing to do with Allen's alleged plan to commit the ultimate crime. Rather, his musings along the way, in tandem with what he wrote in a later manifesto, paint a picture of an unfocused person whose thoughts were "scattered," as one former FBI behavioral analyst said, despite the gravity of the situation.

Twenty years ago, Julia Hartz ditched a budding career at MTV and FX, drove up the coast of California, and bootstrapped ticketing platform Eventbrite with her two cofounders. Now, the longtime CEO wakes up to a blank outlook calendar; Hartz sold her company in a $500 million exit, and is deciding on her next chapter in the wake of parting ways with her brainchild. “It’s not unlike what I experienced when I had my baby. I feel a little postpartum…I’ve been literally not without a job since I was 15,” Hartz tells Fortune. “I have a really deep passion for learning and starting from zero.” The entrepreneur has been booked and busy for more than three decades. As a teen, she made her first buck working in cafes and driving kids to after-school activities; and while studying at Pepperdine University, she worked as an intern on the sitcom Friends, later joining MTV’s series development department. Four years into her stint developing shows like Jackass and The Shield, Hartz made a break for entrepreneurship. Eventbrite has been her path ever since; she’s led the business through nearly $350 million in funding, an IPO, the COVID-19 shutdown, and a $500 million sale
News ArticlePublishedMay 02, 2026 at 11:06 PM EDTBy Megan ArmstrongFormer Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia finished second to former Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza in Heisman voting last December. He was a distant second, as Mendoza had 643 first-place votes to Pavia's 189. The gulf between them was even wider in last week's 2026 NFL Draft.Mendoza went No. 1 overall to the Las Vegas Raiders, while Pavia became the first Heisman finalist to go undrafted since Jordan Lynch in 2014.But Mendoza and Pavia both practiced at rookie minicamps on Saturday. Pavia accepted an invitation to the Baltimore Ravens' minicamp, and one particular clip of Pavia went viral....Baltimore Sun reporter Sam Cohn posted a video on X showing Pavia walking up to his center before backing up to take a snap out of the shotgun. The clip is pretty nondescript, except for one pretty important aspect."He’s taking under center snaps at chest level," The Athletic's Ted Nguyen wrote, and he was far from the only one to notice how small Pavia looked. Pavia was listed at 5-foot-10 1/8" at the NFL Combine in late February. While that didn't stop him from being extremely productive for two seasons at Vanderbilt — he's the reigning
Donald Trump said on Saturday he was going to review a new peace proposal from Tehran but cast doubt over its prospects, saying Iran had not yet “paid a big enough price”.Two semiofficial Iranian news outlets, Tasnim and Fars, believed to be close to Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, said Iran had sent the US a new 14-point proposal via Pakistan.“I’ll let you know about it later,” Trump said of the proposal on Saturday, before boarding Air Force One, adding that “they’re going to give me the exact wording now”.Shortly after speaking to reporters, Trump posted on social media about the new proposal, saying he “can’t imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years.”Trump rejected a previous Iranian proposal this week.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he was reviewing a new Iranian proposal to end the war. "I'll let you know about it later," he said before boarding Air Force One, adding that "they're going to give me the exact wording now."
