GameStop making $56 billion offer to acquire eBay, WSJ says | Fortune
US video games retailer GameStop has offered to buy eBay for $55.5bn (£41bn) in an unsolicited bid that its boss warned could turn hostile if the proposal is rebuffed by eBay’s board.GameStop, which has quietly accumulated a 5% stake in eBay, said it was willing to pay $125 a share, split 50-50 between cash and stock.It is an ambitious move by the games company, which catapulted to fame during the meme-stock craze of 2021 but is worth far less than its takeover target. GameStop had a market valuation of roughly $12bn on Friday before its bid, while eBay – originally launched as a side hobby by its founder Pierre Omidyar in 1995 – is worth about $46bn.But Ryan Cohen, who has run GameStop since 2020, claims eBay could be worth much more under his leadership, saying in a letter to eBay chair, Paul Pressler, that he would immediately launch a cost-cutting programme that would slash $2bn worth of spending a year.“Ebay should be worth – and will be worth – a lot more money,” Cohen told the Wall Street Journal.“I’m thinking about turning eBay into something worth hundreds of billions of dollars,” Cohen said, adding: “It could be a legit

United Airlines passenger allegedly assaulted flight attendant, tried to get into cockpit
A man was detained after being accused of attacking a flight attendant and trying to get into the cockpit on a flight as it landed at Newark Liberty International Airport Saturday, authorities told CNN. The 48-year-old suspect was taken to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation, the Port Authority Police Department told CNN. One person on the plane refused medical attention and no other injuries were reported, police said. The incident was reported as an altercation and audio from ATC.com indicates the suspect attacked a flight attendant. “United 1837, we are declaring an emergency. It seems like someone just attacked one of our flight attendants,” the pilot is heard saying in the audio. The pilot again says: “A gentleman just attacked one of the flight attendants and trying to open the forward main cabin door.” “Oh, my God,” ground control is heard saying.

China’s unprecedented defiance of U.S. sanctions triggers showdown | Fortune
China has ordered its companies to ignore U.S. sanctions, an unprecedented act of defiance that threatens to trap a vast banking sector in the crossfire as tension rises between the world’s largest economies. Beijing has often railed against unilateral sanctions and pronounced them illegitimate, but it has also quietly allowed its largest companies to comply with them, in order to avoid blowback on its own economy and to preserve access to the U.S. financial system. Saturday’s announcement—coming before a long-awaited meeting later this month between President Donald Trump and his counterpart Xi Jinping—signals a far more aggressive stance. Beijing has now directed companies not to abide by U.S. sanctions on private refiners linked to the Iranian oil trade, including heavyweight Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian) Refinery Co. which was sanctioned last month. Within China, state media outlets and academics who advise the government sought to frame the retaliation as a forceful but calibrated response against U.S. overreach. A commentary on the People’s Daily app, the Communist Party mouthpiece, called it “a pivotal step” in using the legal instrument to restrain what it called the “long-arm jurisdiction” of the U.S. Beijing’s move will test the U.S. sanctions system at a time when it’s
Sabrina Ionescu injury update: New York Liberty guard to have MRI on ankle
News ArticlePublishedMay 03, 2026 at 11:16 PM EDTBy Megan ArmstrongThe New York Liberty are the odds-on favorite to win the 2026 WNBA Finals.The Liberty leapfrogged the Las Vegas Aces, the reigning champions and winners of three of the past four championships, after going all-in during free agency last month. Not only did the Liberty re-sign Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, and Sabrina Ionescu to retain the "Big 3" that won the franchise's first WNBA title in 2024, but they also signed three-time All-Star forward Satou Sabally to form a "Big 4." On paper, the Liberty are neck-and-neck with the Aces as top-tier contenders. But the games aren't played on paper, and injuries are constantly looming as a threat to derail any season. The Liberty learned that last season, and they were just reminded of it again....Ionescu landed awkwardly after driving to the bucket early in the third quarter of the Liberty's preseason game in Connecticut on Sunday. The four-time All-Star guard immediately limped to the locker room and did not return to the game.After the game, first-year Liberty head coach Chris DeMarco began the postgame presser by telling reporters that Ionescu "rolled her ankle" and would undergo an MRI on Monday.

Map Shows US Troop Levels in NATO After Germany Withdrawal
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s vow to shrink America’s military deployment in Germany has put a new spotlight on the U.S. role in Europe.There are usually 80,000 to 100,000 troops on the continent, with more than 36,000 in Germany. The Pentagon announced Friday that it would remove 5,000 troops from Germany, and Trump said the next day that he would go “a lot further” than that. The U.S. military presence is a legacy of World War II, when Americans helped stabilize and rebuild Europe, and the Cold War, when the troops served as a bulwark against Soviet expansion. More recently, the deployment has played a key role supporting operations in the Arctic, Africa and the Middle East including the current conflict with Iran.But Trump has broken with years of bipartisan consensus, criticizing European allies in NATO and following through on threats to reduce the U.S. commitment to the continent’s security. The recent announcement comes after escalating tensions with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who last week said the U.S. was being “humiliated” by Iran and accusing Washington of lacking a clear strategy. Here’s a look at America’s current deployment in Europe and how it could change. What to know about
Former Malian minister and junta critic abducted from home by armed men, family tells AP
BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — A former Malian minister and critic of the ruling junta was abducted from his home by armed, hooded men, one of his family members told The Associated Press Sunday, as fallout spreads from a wave of armed attacks against the government in the conflict-battered West African nation.Mountaga Tall’s home in the capital, Bamako, was stormed shortly before midnight on Saturday, his relative Mahmoud Touré told AP. The men did not identify themselves, nor did they say why they were seizing Tall, but Touré said they were from the armed forces. “They did not explain why and did not present an arrest warrant,” he said. “The soldiers mistreated Mountaga Tall’s wife and took his phone.”Tall served as Mali’s education and science minister from 2016 to 2017 and is the president of the National Congress for Democratic Initiative, a political party opposed to the military government. As a lawyer, he represents politicians and other individuals who have been arrested for criticizing the junta. Mali was struck on April 26 by one of the biggest coordinated attacks on its army in Bamako and several other cities by jihadis and rebels who seized several towns and military bases. Several people

He finished just ahead of Hamlin in both of those wins. On that final restart at the 1 1/2-mile Texas track, Elliott took the bottom line and had teammate Alex Bowman behind him. He cleared Hamlin going onto the backstretch and remained in front to the checkered flag. “I just felt like, man, if I didn’t get clear off of (Turn) 2, I was going to be in a lot trouble,” Elliott said. “So fortunately Alex gave me a great push. I was able to execute Turns 1 and 2, get clear, and then just kind of manage the last few laps.” Elliott, voted NASCAR’s most popular driver each of the past eight seasons, got his 23rd career win and his second at Texas, where two years ago he ended a 42-race winless streak.

Updated May 3, 2026, 1:25 p.m. ETPresident Donald Trump's disapproval numbers hit a record high in a new poll, the latest in a series of surveys painting a gloomy picture for the president six months out from the November midterm elections.In the latest Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll, Trump's disapproval rating hit 62%, an all-time high from the survey's history throughout both terms in office.The high disapproval rate came alongside souring opinions on Trump's handling of the Iran war, the economy and cost of living, issues that the president has consistently been polling poorly on over the last few months.Trump’s overall approval rating in the new survey is 37%, dropping two points from the pollster's February figures. It's a few points higher from a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll released April 28, which put the president at a dismal 34% approval rating − a record low in that survey's history.

Wembanyama, Gobert set to match wits as Spurs, Timberwolves meet in West semifinal matchup
Rudy Gobert knew long before the rest of the world. Victor Wembanyama was only 13 when Gobert first heard of him. It didn’t take long for Gobert to see the enormous potential in his French countryman. When they would talk, Wembanyama asked the questions and Gobert gave him the answers. “And the rest is history,” Gobert said. The basketball world is now fully aware of what Gobert saw in Wembanyama years ago. A French center will be headed to the NBA’s Final Four in a couple of weeks; which one it’ll be hangs on the outcome of a Western Conference semifinal series between Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs and Gobert’s Minnesota Timberwolves. Game 1 is Monday night in San Antonio. “I’m very, very proud and I’m very excited to watch him grow every day, to see his work paying off,” Gobert said. “Outside of the talent, he’s someone that has a very unique soul, a very unique mind and nothing is an accident. It’s not an accident that he’s having the success that he’s having.” There’s never been a playoff series that is entirely about a 1-on-1 matchup, though it’s easy to understand why so much attention will be devoted to

OPEC+ countries agree modest rise in production as Iran retains chokehold on key Strait of Hormuz
VIENNA — Seven countries in the OPEC+ grouping of oil-producing countries - including Saudi Arabia and Russia - say they’ve decided to a modest increase in production starting in June as part of a commitment to “market stability.” The commitment from the seven countries, also including Algeria, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kuwait and Oman, to raise production by 188,000 barrels per day comes after a virtual meeting they held on Sunday. The move is mostly symbolic because it comes as Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, where about a fifth of the world’s trade in oil and natural gas typically passes, in the midst of the U.S.-Israeli war. That has stopped much of the oil shipped from Gulf producers and knocked millions of barrels a day off the global market. It also follows a decision by the United Arab Emirates to leave the OPEC oil cartel, shaking up the 65-year-old alliance that produces some 40% of the world’s crude oil and exerts major influence over the price of energy around the globe.

Ukrainian strikes hit key Russian oil infrastructure, including "shadow fleet" tankers
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine on Sunday launched a wave of strikes against Russian oil targets, hitting a key loading port on the Baltic Sea and two tankers that Ukraine alleges were illegally used to transport Russian crude.A nighttime drone strike sparked a blaze at Russia’s largest oil exporting port on the Baltic Sea, the port of Primorsk, according to Russian regional Gov. Alexander Drozdenko.The port, operated by Russia’s state oil firm Transneft, is capable of handling hundreds of thousands of barrels per day. Primorsk, which was targeted multiple times in March, lies over 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) from Ukraine, between the Russian-Finnish border and Russia’s second-largest city of St. Petersburg.Local Gov. Drozdenko said that the drone strike did not cause an oil spill, but gave no immediate further comment regarding casualties or damage. But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukrainian forces destroyed several military and other targets, while also inflicting significant damage on oil port infrastructure. “One more Russian carrier of Kalibr missiles is out of action. Major General Yevhen Khmara reported on the successful destruction of targets in the Primorsk port,” Zelenskyy wrote in a Telegram post on Sunday. 2 MIN READ 4 MIN READ 1 MIN
