Kevin Mazur/Getty "A lot of times we get so excited when we meet somebody that it's like, 'I want to post. I want the world to know I'm so into this,' " she said.

" The actress also explained what she's looking for in a future relationship, and shared that she's hopeful for what she thinks most people want in a partner.

Fans Are 'Tearing Up' Over 'Legendary' Actress' Heartfelt Moment With Audience Member After Injuryoriginally appeared onParade. Jean Smart'sdedication to her loving fans has left some feeling rather emotional after a video of theHacksstar signing autographs, seemingly from a wheelchair, went viral following her return to her Broadway play,Call Me Izzy, aftera knee injury. In a stage door clip uploaded to TikTok by a recent attendee, the Hollywood legend could be seen sitting behind a table with her leg propped up, engaging with fans who, one by one, made their way down a line to chat and get her signature on their Playbills. However, one fan requested she sign their arm with her Deborah Vance signature to get it tattooed, leading to an "adorable" and "wholesome" reaction that even had one fan "tearing up" in response. Smart was so committed to getting it perfect that she even hauled herself up out of her seat with a little help from her crew, admitting that she was "nervous" to get it right, and fans were in awe of the commitment. "I love that she realized the gravity of this being permanent and felt anxious to get it right," one gushed. "It says so much about her as a human☺️." "Something about her yelling 'OH MY GOD IM NERVOUS!!!' makes me like her more," another admitted. "So human and real lmao." "she was genuinely moved by this!!" someone else observed. "it's like when kids get their teacher's signature or quote tattooed. nothing is more powerful." She was also praised for being so "accommodating to sign at the stage door after being injured," with one assuming that "Most people would have left." "What an ICON!" another agreed. "We must protect Jean Smart at all costs!!" "Jean Smart is the total package. Always has been, always will be. 😍," someone else declared, with another agreeing that she's "one of the classiest and kindest women ever!"

Canada PM says he is disappointed as Trump orders tariff hikeNew Foto - Canada PM says he is disappointed as Trump orders tariff hike

(Reuters) -Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was disappointed after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to raise tariffs on Canadian goods to 35% from 25% on products outside the scope of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. The move, which Washington linked in part to what it said was Canada's failure to stop fentanyl smuggling, is the latest salvo in Trump's months-long tariff war initiated soon after taking power. US duties and tariffs will heavily affect lumber, steel, aluminum, and automobiles, Carney said in a post on X, vowing action to protect Canadian jobs, buy its goods, invest in industrial competitiveness and diversify export markets. To justify its step, the U.S. has cited the cross-border flow of fentanyl, even though Canada accounts for just 1% of U.S. fentanyl imports and has been working intensively to further reduce the volumes, Carney added.

The Latest: US trade partners around the world react to Trump's new tariffsNew Foto - The Latest: US trade partners around the world react to Trump's new tariffs

U.S. trade partners around the world were reacting on Friday toPresident Donald Trump's executive order that would introduce new tariffs on many of them in seven days, as the global economy and alliances face a fresh test from the president's trade agenda. Trump's order was issued Thursday night and came after a flurry of tariff-related activity in recent days, as the White House announced agreements with various nations and blocs ahead of Trump's self-imposed Aug. 1 deadline. Donald Trumpalso said Thursday he would be extending trade negotiations with Mexico for 90 days. But the vast majority of nations are continuing to face uncertainty ahead of the coming deadline. And while a handful of trade deals have trickled in, many details remain hazy — with businessesand manufacturersaround the worldbracing for heightened operating costs and potential price hikesregardless. Meanwhile, Trump's overhaul of American trade policy hasn't gone unchallenged. Appellate court judges haveexpressed broad skepticismaround Trump's legal rationale for his most expansive round of tariffs. ___ Here's the latest: Malaysia hails 'significant achievement' in 19% tariff rate Malaysia's Trade Ministry said Friday that the U.S. tariff reduction from 25% to 19% was a "significant achievement" as the deal was struck without compromising key national interests. "The 19% rate roughly tracks the rate of other countries in the Southeast Asian region," the ministry said in a statement. "Most importantly, Malaysia had stood firm on various 'red line' items, and the 19% tariff rate was achieved without compromising the nation's sovereign right to implement key policies to support the nation's socio-economic stability and growth." The ministry said that Malaysia's economy remains resilient despite global headwinds, citing strong domestic demand and ongoing structural reforms. The statement didn't give further details but officials previously said non-tariff barriers such as halal certification, which affects U.S. beef and poultry exports, along with digital trade and government procurement were sticky points. It's unclear what concessions Malaysia made. Cambodia will impose zero tariffs on all American goods Cambodia's Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol, who led his nation's trade talks with the U.S., thanked Trump for setting the tariff rate on Cambodian goods at 19% and said his country will impose zero tariffs on all American goods. When Washington originally posted its list of notional "reciprocal" tariffs, the rate for goods from Cambodia was 49%, one of the highest in the world. It had estimated that Cambodian tariffs on U.S. imports averaged 97%. Sun Chanthol also said Cambodia would purchase 10 passenger aircraft from Boeing in a deal they hoped to sign later this month. Several other nations had already announced similar aircraft purchase deals as part of their trade packages. Trump had threatened to not conclude a deal with reduced tariffs if Cambodia and Thailand did not stop a recent armed conflict over border territory. The two nations agreed on a ceasefire beginning Tuesday that appears to be holding. Cambodia publicly celebrated Trump's peace initiative, suggesting he deserved a Nobel Prize for his intervention. Sun Chanthol said Friday that Cambodia would nominate him for the honor. Australia's 10% tariff rate is vindication of the country's 'cool and calm negotiations,' trade minister says Australian Trade Minister Don Farrell says gaining the minimum U.S. tariff on exports including beef, lamb, wine and wheat gave Australia a competitive advantage over some competitors. Farrell told reporters Australia did not introduce tariffs on U.S. goods at any point, and added, "I haven't seen any case or any example where the retaliatory imposition of tariffs has resulted in a country being in a better position." Farrell argues that no U.S. tariffs can be justified because Australia imposes no tariffs on its bilateral free trade partner. The United States has enjoyed a trade surplus with Australia for decades. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been criticized for failing to secure a face-to-face meeting with Trump to discuss trade. Japan welcomes Trump's signing of the executive order as an ease in uncertainty Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi welcomed Trump's signing of the executive order setting Japan's new reciprocal tariffs as a step that would reduce uncertainty of the U.S. trade policy and its negative impact on the global economy, including that of Japan. Hayashi, however, said Japan still needs to closely examine the measures and continue urging prompt implementation by the U.S. government to carry out the agreement, including reduction of tariffs on automobiles and auto parts. Hayashi acknowledged that Japan's new tariff rate of 15% is a "major reduction" from the initially imposed 25%, but his government will continue to watch and mitigate its impact on Japanese exports, including by providing financial assistance for small and medium-sized businesses. New Zealand looks to lobby for lower tariff rates New Zealand officials said they would lobby the administration for a change to the 15% tariff announced for the country's exporters to the U.S. It's an increase from the original 10% baseline announced for New Zealand in April. "We don't think this is a good thing. We don't think it's warranted," Trade Minister Todd McClay told Radio New Zealand Friday. He said New Zealand appeared to have been targeted for a larger levy because the country records a trade deficit with the U.S. but that the gap of about half a billion dollars each year was "not significant or meaningful." Neighboring Australia dodged an increase to remain at 10%, but it records a trade surplus with the U.S., McClay added. The United States in January overtook Australia to become New Zealand's second-largest export partner, behind China. New Zealand exports are largely made up of meat, dairy, wine and agricultural machinery. Taiwan president says final tariff negotiations with US yet to come Taiwan President Lai Ching-te said Taiwan had yet to engage in final negotiations with the U.S. owing to scheduling difficulties and that he was hopeful the final tariff rate would be reduced even further after a final round of talks. The Trump administration hit Taiwan with 32% tariffs, and lowered it to 20% on Thursday. Taiwan was notified on Thursday by the administration of the lower rate. "Twenty percent from the beginning has not been our goal. We hope that in further negotiations we will get a more beneficial and more reasonable tax rate," he told reporters in Taipei on Friday. Lai also linked trade talks to security issues, as the U.S. is Taiwan's largest ally even though it does not formally recognize the island. "We want to strengthen U.S. Taiwan cooperation in national security, tech, and multiple areas," he said Friday. The U.S. is Taiwan's most important export market and strategic ally, Lai said in an earlier statement Friday morning. Cambodia prime minister thanks Trump for dropping tariff rate Cambodia Prime Minister Hun Manet expressed his thanks to Trump for the dropping of tariffs from 36% to 19% and he called the reduction "good news" for Cambodia. Posted on his social media platform, Hun Manet said Trump had not only helped broker a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand forces after nearly a weeklong clash but also helped Cambodia's economy by lowering tariffs. "This is good news for the people and economy of Cambodia to continue developing the country," Hun Manet said. Thailand successfully negotiates lower tariff rates Thailand's government spokesperson Jirayu Houngsub said Thailand says the U.S. agreed to reduce the tariffs rate from 36% to 19%, a rate similar to those imposed on many other Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines. "It's one of the major successes of Team Thailand in a win-win approach, to secure the country's export base and economic security in a long run," he said in a statement. He didn't immediately say what was the latest offer Thailand made to the U.S. The agreement came days after a ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia to halt the nearly weeklong clashes that killed at least 41 people. It was brokered with U.S. pressure as Trump said he would not move forward with trade agreements if the conflict continued.

Statehood remains a distant dream for Palestinians as nightmare unfolds in GazaNew Foto - Statehood remains a distant dream for Palestinians as nightmare unfolds in Gaza

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Plans announced by France, the United Kingdom and Canadato recognize a Palestinian statewon't bring one about anytime soon, though they could further isolate Israel and strengthen the Palestinians' negotiating position over the long term. The problem for the Palestinians is that there may not be a long term. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahurejects Palestinian statehoodand has vowed to maintain open-ended control over annexed east Jerusalem, the occupied West Bank and the war-ravaged Gaza Strip — territories Israel seized in the 1967 war that the Palestinians want for their state. Israeli leaders favor the outright annexation of much of the West Bank, where Israel has already builtwell over 100 settlementshousing over 500,000 Jewish settlers. Israel's offensive in Gaza has reduced most of it to a smoldering wastelandand is pushing it toward famine, and Israel says it is pressing ahead with plans to relocate much of its population of some 2 millionto other countries. The United States, the only country with any real leverage over Israel,has taken its side. Critics say these countries could do much more Palestinians have welcomed international support for their decades-long quest for statehood but say there are more urgent measures Western countries could take if they wanted to pressure Israel. "It's a bit odd that the response to daily atrocities in Gaza, including what is by all accountsdeliberate starvation, is to recognize a theoretical Palestinian state that may never actually come into being," said Khaled Elgindy, a visiting scholar at Georgetown University's Center for Contemporary Arab Studies. "It looks more like a way for these countries to appear to be doing something," he said. Fathi Nimer, a policy fellow at Al-Shabaka, a Palestinian think tank, says they could have suspended trade agreements with Israel, imposed arms embargoes or other sanctions. "There is a wide tool set at the disposal of these countries, but there is no political will to use it," he said. It's not a completely empty gesture Most countries in the world recognized Palestinian statehood decades ago, but Britain and France would be the third and fourth permanent members of the U.N. Security Council to do so, leaving the U.S. as the only holdout. "We're talking about major countries and major Israeli allies," said Alon Pinkas, an Israeli political analyst and former consul general in New York. "They're isolating the U.S. and they're leaving Israel dependent — not on the U.S., but on the whims and erratic behavior of one person, Trump." Recognition could also strengthen moves to prevent annexation, said Hugh Lovatt, an expert on the conflict at the European Council on Foreign Relations. The challenge, he said, "is for those recognizing countries to match their recognition with other steps, practical steps." It could also prove significant if Israel and the Palestinians ever resume the long-dormant peace process, which ground to a halt after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned to office in 2009. "If and when some kind of negotiations do resume, probably not in the immediate future, but at some point, it puts Palestine on much more equal footing," said Julie Norman, a professor of Middle East politics at University College London. "It has statehood as a starting point for those negotiations, rather than a certainly-not-assured endpoint." Israel calls it a reward for violence Israel's government and most of its political class were opposed to Palestinian statehood long before Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack triggered the war. Netanyahu says creating a Palestinian state would reward Hamas and eventually lead to an even larger Hamas-run state on Israel's borders. Hamas leadershave at times suggestedthey would accept a state on the 1967 borders but the group remains formally committed to Israel's destruction. Western countries envision a future Palestinian state that would be democratic but also led by political rivals of Hamas who accept Israel and help it suppress the militant group,which won parliamentary elections in 2006and seized power in Gaza the following year. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, whose authority administers parts of the occupied West Bank, supports a two-state solution and cooperates with Israel on security matters. He has madea series of concessions in recent months, including announcing the end to the Palestinian Authority's practice of providing stipends to the families of prisoners held by Israel and slain militants. Such measures, along with the security coordination, have made it deeply unpopular with Palestinians, and have yet to earn it any favors from Israel or theTrumpadministration. Israel says Abbas is not sincerely committed to peace and accuses him of tolerating incitement and militancy. Lovatt says there is much to criticize about the PA, but that "often the failings of the Palestinian leadership are exaggerated in a way to relieve Israel of its own obligations." The tide may be turning, but not fast enough If you had told Palestinians in September 2023 that major countries were on the verge of recognizing a state, that the U.N.'s highest courthad ordered Israel to end the occupation, that the International Criminal Courthad ordered Netanyahu's arrest, and that prominent voicesfrom across the U.S. political spectrumwere furious with Israel, they might have thought their dream of statehood was at hand. But those developments pale in comparison to the ongoing war in Gaza and smallerbut similarly destructivemilitary offensives in the West Bank. Israel'smilitary victories over Iran and its allieshave left it the dominant and nearly unchallenged military power in the region, and Trump is the strongest supporter it has ever had in the White House. "This (Israeli) government is not going to change policy," Pinkas said. "The recognition issue, the ending of the war, humanitarian aid — that's all going to have to wait for another government." ___ Associated Press writer Jill Lawless in London contributed.

Fans Suspect That This Subtle Dress Detail Could Determine the Ending of "The Summer I Turned Pretty"

Amazon Prime In season 3, episode 4 ofThe Summer I Turned Pretty, a dress that looks a lot like Belly's purple prom dress was seen in the background as she shops for a dress for her wedding to his brother Jeremiah Belly wore the purple dress while with her then-boyfriend, Jeremiah's brother, Conrad, in season 2 Some fans feel this easter egg was meant to subtly illustrate Belly's lingering feelings for Conrad Astute fans have noticed a possible easter egg forThe Summer I Turned Pretty's ending after watching the Wednesday, July 30, episode. In season 3, episode 4, Belly (Lola Tung) begs her mother Laurel (Jackie Chung) to go wedding dress shopping with her, while Laurel disapproves of her engagement to Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno) on account of their ages and Belly's status as a college student. While dress shopping with her best friend Taylor Jewel (Rain Spencer) and her mom Lucinda (Kristen Connolly), she settles on a simple floor-length white satin gown – but because of her tight budget, they are shopping in a prom dress store. A near-exact replica of the season 2 prom dress Belly wore with Conrad Fisher (Christopher Briney) is seen in the background. Prime Video In the scene, the lavender floral-decal and chiffon dress can be seen hanging from a hook in the fitting room behind Belly. Since Conrad was Belly's first love before Jeremiah, some fans feel that this could be a hint that she ends up with Conrad due to her lingering feelings for her history with him. One user wrote in a post shared onXabout the scene, "her choosing a simple/plain dress but the one in the back looks just like her prom one which reminds us belly doesn't just want simple." https://people-app.onelink.me/HNIa/kz7l4cuf Others cracked jokes about the simplicity of the dress after the tiny engagement ring that Jeremiah gave her the previous week. "belly's wedding dress at least it'd match the small ring Jeremiah got for her lmfao#tsitp3this is so unserious oh my lord .. 'wedding dress' from a prom dress store mind u," another user wrote onX. The Summer I Turned Pretty, based on authorJenny Han's series of novels of the same name originally published in 2009, follows Belly (Tung, 22) as she navigates adolescence, and a love triangle between brothers Jeremiah (Casalegno, 25) and Conrad Fisher (Briney, 27). While viewers share the easter eggs they spot every week, Han's books conclude with Belly choosing Conrad over his brother Jeremiah, ending the long-running love triangle. However, some viewers aren't convinced – especially since Han, 44, once said that she doesn't like "too neat of an ending" in an interview with theWild Card with Rachel Martinpodcast.

Beyoncé's Levi's jeans ad pulled into Sydney Sweeney backlashNew Foto - Beyoncé's Levi's jeans ad pulled into Sydney Sweeney backlash

ABeyoncéad for Levi's jeans is being compared toSydney Sweeney's controversial American Eagle campaign, but other social media users argue the two are far from similar. "Euphoria" star Sweeneyis facing backlash as the face ofAmerican Eagle's newest campaign. Thedenim adand its tagline "Sydney Sweeneyhas great jeans" drew sharp criticism online with some users accusing the brand of promoting eugenics. In a campaign video, Sweeney lies in a full denim ensemble as she leans into wordplay: "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue." The camera then shows Sweeney's blue eyes before a message reads, "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans." The criticism wasn't about the denim itself, but the language used. Social media users argued the phrase "great genes" paired with a blond-haired, blue-eyed starechoed eugenicideas — the discredited belief in improving humanity through selective breeding. Some also argued it contributed to the glorification of whiteness. Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle, oh my god.pic.twitter.com/tDkeGT9R7G — Sydney Sweeney Daily (@sweeneydailyx)July 24, 2025 Eventually,Beyoncé's recent Levi's campaign,where she poses in a similar position in a denim-on-demin outfit with blond hair,was dragged into the discourse. So Beyoncé can pose in Levi jeans and it's art…But when a white woman does it, it's a national crisis?pic.twitter.com/aWu3h6nrL8 — Desiree (@DesireeAmerica4)July 29, 2025 One userwrote, "SoBeyoncécan pose in Levi jeans and it's art… But when a white woman does it, it's a national crisis?" as she shared a photo of the two ads side-by-side. However, many were quick to point out the differences between the two. Just going to leave this pic from Beyoncé Levi's campaign right here for those saying Sydney Sweeney with her blond hair/denim/sultry look is racist…pic.twitter.com/ZyeMF6ouCI — Nicole Saphier, MD (@NBSaphierMD)July 30, 2025 Another said, "Just going to leave this pic form Beyoncé Levi's campaign right here for those saying Sydney Sweeney with her blond hair/denim/sultry look is racist..." A userresponded,"No one said that, what was said though was that the ad's inference that blonde hair and blue eyes are superior." The Grammy-winning singer announced hercollaboration with Levi'slast fall. She has since released multiple campaigns with the denim powerhouse. But she has never alluded to genes or genetics, focusing solely on the quality and design of the jeans themselves. One social media user,@dukepege, takes this notion a step deeper: "At what point will it be fully understood that proclaiming or implying 'my genes (jeans) are better' is frightening to any race who's ancestors for long generations have had to suffer at the hands of the very same race of people with the same kind of thinking — that their genes are superior?" He added, "No, such statements are not benign; they are echoes of a violent and dehumanizing history and the fact that you involve Beyoncé explains very well how you're still unable to comprehend what's being felt." The conversation comes after Beyoncé was baselesslypulled into another controversywhen PresidentDonald Trumpaccused her ofbeing paid $11 million to endorse Kamala Harris' presidential bid— a payment thethe Federal Election Commission has no record of. The Grammy-winning singer concluded herCowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tourin Las Vegas on July 26. The 32-stop stadium tour became the highest grossing country tour,earning over $400 million.

Pentagon recalls another 1,000 National Guard troops from Los AngelesNew Foto - Pentagon recalls another 1,000 National Guard troops from Los Angeles

The Pentagon has withdrawn more than a thousand National Guard troops sent to Los Angeles, further scaling back President Donald Trump's controversial deployment. Defense SecretaryPete Hegsethon July 30 recalled 1,350 California National Guardsmen assigned to protect federal buildings and personnel amid public uproarfollowing recent Immigration and Customs Enforcementraidsacross the city and Southern California. The troop withdrawal comes with about a week left in what the White House described as a 60-day deployment that started on June 7. Two weeks ago the administration called back2,000 California National Guardsmenfrom their assignments in Los Angeles. Troop withdrawal, phase 1:Pentagon pulls 2,000 National Guard members from Los Angeles in immigration rollback Approximately 250 troops will remain in Los Angeles to protect personnel and property, the Pentagon said. At the peak of their deployment, nearly 5,000 service members weredispatched to the region: most were National Guard troops, but Trumpalso sent 700 Marinesto guard federal property in the city. The troops were directed tosuppress protestsand to protect ICE agents conducting immigration raids. Several California Democratic lawmakerscriticized the June deployment, calling it anoverreach of presidential authority, accusing Trump of inciting violence.Trump'sresponse at the time was that "Los Angeles would be burning right now" without the military presence. CaliforniaGov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat,suedthe Trump administration, alleging the deployment was unlawful. A San Franciscoappeals court ruledthat the troops could remain. Newsom said July 30 ina post on Xthat Trump's "chaotic, needless takeover of the California National Guard, his political theatrics in LA have blown up in his face." "President Trump is realizing that his political theater backfired. This militarization was always unnecessary and deeply unpopular," Newsom said ina statement. Raids and deportations has a heavy cost:Deportations are taking a toll on California's economy - and have only just begun Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass also viewed the deployment as a "political stunt" and said in aJuly 30 post on Xthe withdrawal was a "win." Bass said she would continue to pressure the administration until "ALL troops are out of L.A." Hegseth responded to Bass in an X post of his own. "You're welcome Mayor. These brave troops are redeploying because their mission was so successful. You should be thanking them for saving your city from mobs & chaos," Hegseth said. "We will continue to support law enforcement – even when you won't." The troop deployment has been estimated to cost about $134 million, according to the Pentagon.

Dozens of countries with no deals face higher tariffs as trade deadline loomsNew Foto - Dozens of countries with no deals face higher tariffs as trade deadline looms

WASHINGTON (AP) — Numerous countries around the world are facing the prospect of much higher duties on their exports to the United States on Aug. 7, a potential blow to the global economy, because they haven't yet reached a trade deal with theTrumpadministration. President Donald Trump had threatened to impose the newtariffson Aug. 1 but delayed the deadline by a week just hours before they were supposed to take effect. Some of the United States' biggest trading partnershave reached agreements, or at least the outlines of one, including theEuropean Union, theUnited Kingdom, andJapan. Even so, those countries face much higher tariffs than were in effect before Trump took office. And other large trading partners — most notablyChinaandMexico— received an extension to keep negotiating, but they will likely end up paying more. Trump intends the duties to bring backmanufacturingto the United States, while also forcing other countries to reduce their trade barriers to U.S. exports. Trump argues that foreign exporters will pay the cost of the tariffs, but so far economists have found that most are being paid by U.S. companies. And measures of U.S. inflation havestarted to tick higheras prices of imported goods, such as furniture, appliances, and toys rise. Countries without an agreement face duties ranging between 10% and 40%, according to Trump's executive order signed on Thursday. That includes large economies such as Canada, Taiwan, and India, as well as many smaller countries like South Africa, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and eventiny Lesotho. Will the deadline hold this time? Trump's originalApril 2 "Liberation Day"announcement threatened to impose import taxes of up to 50% on nearly 60 countries and economies, including the 27-nation European Union. Those duties, originally scheduled for April 9, were then postponed twice, first to July 9 and then Aug. 1. On Wednesday, Trump said on his social media platform Truth Social, "THE AUGUST FIRST DEADLINE IS THE AUGUST FIRST DEADLINE — IT STANDS STRONG, AND WILL NOT BE EXTENDED." As of Thursday afternoon, White House representatives — and Trump himself — had insisted that no more delays were possible. But when Trumpsigned the orderThursday night imposing new tariffs on 68 countries and the European Union, the start date of the punishing import taxes waspushed back seven daysso that the tariff schedule could be updated. The change — while potentially welcome news to countries that had not yet reached a deal with the U.S. — injected a new dose of uncertainty for consumers and businesses still wondering what's going to happen and when. Which countries have a trade agreement? In a flurry of last minute deal-making, the Trump has been announcing agreements as late as Thursday, but they are largely short on details. On Thursday, the U.S. and Pakistanreached a trade agreementexpected to allow Washington to help develop Pakistan's largely untappedoil reservesand lower tariffs for the South Asian country. And on Wednesday, Trump announced a deal with South Korea that would impose 15% tariffs on goods from that country. That is below the 25% duties that Trump threatened in April. Agreements have also been reached with the European Union,Pakistan, Indonesia, Vietnam,the Philippines, and the United Kingdom. The agreement with the Philippines barely reduced the tariff it will pay, from 20% to 19%. And which countries don't? Of the 68 countries, along with the EU, that appear in Trump's executive order, the majority do not have deals. That includes Algeria, now facing a tariff of 30%; Iraq at 35%; Syria at 41%, Switzerland at 39% and Taiwan at 20%. Trump had already slapped large duties on Brazil and India even before the August deadline was reached. In the case of Brazil, Trump signed an executive order late Wednesday imposing a 50% duty on imports, though he exempted several large categories, including aircraft, aluminum, and energy products. Trump isangry at Brazil's governmentbecause it is prosecuting its former president, Jair Bolsonaro, for attempting to overturn his election loss in 2022. Trump was indicted on a similar charge in 2023. While Trump has sought to justify the widespread tariffs as an effort to combat the United States' chronic trade deficits, the U.S. actually has a trade surplus with Brazil — meaning it sells more goods and services to Brazil than it buys from that country. Late Wednesday, Trump said that India wouldpay a 25% dutyon all its exports, in part because it has continued to purchase oil from Russia. On Thursday, the White House said it had extended the deadline to reach a deal with Mexico for another 90 days, citing the complexity of the trade relationship, which is governed by the trade agreement Trump reached when he updated NAFTA in his first term. For smaller countries caught in Trump's cross hairs, the Aug. 1 deadline is particularly difficult because the White House has acknowledged they aren't able to negotiate with every country facing tariff threats.Lesotho,for example, a small country in southern Africa, was hit with a 50% duty on April 2, and even though it was postponed, the threat has already devastated its apparel industry, costing thousands of jobs. On Thursday, the country faced a 15% tariff. "There's 200 countries,'' the president acknowledgedearlier this month. "You can't talk to all of them.'' ___ AP Writers Josh Boak and Wyatte Grantham-Philipps contributed to this report.

Trump officials headed to Gaza to inspect food distribution centers amid hunger crisisNew Foto - Trump officials headed to Gaza to inspect food distribution centers amid hunger crisis

WASHINGTON ―President Donald Trumpis sending two top White House officials to Gaza on Aug. 1 to inspect food distribution centers and meet with Gazans amid intensifying global scrutiny over thehunger crisis in the territory. Steven Witkoff, Trump's Middle East envoy, and U.S. Ambassador to IsraelMike Huckabeewill "secure a plan to deliver more food and meet with local Gazans to hear firsthand about this dire situation" during the rare trip, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on July 31. Following their visit, Witkoff and Huckabee are expected to meet with Trump to approve the administration's final plan for food and aid distribution in the region amid Israel's ongoing war with Hamas in Gaza. More:'Every ounce of food': Trump presses Israel on starvation in Gaza; 'children look very hungry' Witkoff and Huckabee spoke to Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahuon the morning of July 31 about delivering food and aid to the area, Leavitt said. "It's terrible what's occurring there. It's a terrible thing. People are very hungry," Trump told reporters. "You know, the United States gave $60 million for food and it's a shame, because I don't see the results of it. And we gave it to people that in theory are watching over it fairly closely. We wanted Israel to watch over it." More:One meal a day. $20 for an egg. Choosing which kid gets fed. Starvation stalks Gaza More:Gaza death toll hits 60,000 as global monitor demands action to avert famine An alert issued this week by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification raised the prospect of a famine unfolding in Gaza. The United Nations' World Food Programme said a third of Gaza's population does not eat for several days at a time and that one in four Gazans are "enduring famine-like conditions." The Hamas-run health ministry, the chief source of health data in Gaza, said more than 100 people have died from malnutrition in recent days. Trump broke with Netanyahu earlier this weekby saying he disagrees with the Israeli prime minister's claim that no starvation is taking place among the people of Gaza, and he urged Israel to let more food into the enclave. Asimages of emaciated children in Gazahave alarmed the world, Netanyahu denied Israel is conducting a starvation campaign, calling such accusations a "bold-faced lie" and even rejecting that starvation is occurring. Trump also said July 31 that Witkoff will later travel to Russia ahead of a new 10-day deadline the president set for the country to agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine or face U.S. tariffs and other penalties. "Going to Israel, and then he's going to Russia, believe it or not," Trump said.

James Van Der Beek Reveals Update In Colorectal Cancer Battle: 'Full-Time Job'New Foto - James Van Der Beek Reveals Update In Colorectal Cancer Battle: 'Full-Time Job'

James Van Der Beekis sharing an update on his battle with colorectal cancer. During an interview withTODAY.com, the 48-year-old actor revealed that he'll likely be living with the disease for the "rest of my life." Van Der Beek -- who was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2023 and publicly shared the news last year -- described his cancer battle as a "full-time job." "I'm just on the journey. ... It's a process. It'll probably be a process for the rest of my life," theDawson's Creekalum said. Van Der Beek -- who has not publicly disclosed whether he's undergone typical treatments such as chemotherapy or surgery -- noted that he's made many lifestyle diet changes amid his battle with the disease, including yoga, keto diet, and "finding beauty of just taking things a little bit more slowly and prioritizing rest and really allowing that to be the job." The 48-year-old reflected on starring in theLegally Blondeprequel series,Elle, telling TODAY.com that "the greatest thing about work is cancer doesn't exist between action and cut." "It was fun to drop in and just have a blast because it's such a great cast, a great production, and everybody out there is really talented," he added. Last November, Van Der Beekrevealedhis colorectal cancer diagnosis while speaking withPeople. "I have colorectal cancer. I've been privately dealing with this diagnosis and have been taking steps to resolve it, with the support of my incredible family," he said in an exclusive statement. "There's reason for optimism, and I'm feeling good," he added. Per theAmerican Cancer Society,Colorectal cancer starts in the colon or the rectum, which make up the large intestine in the digestive system. Van Der Beek previously shared that the first symptoms he experienced were bowel changes, before he then underwent a colonsocopy, which ultimately led to his diagnosis. "I got screened at 46," theVarsity Bluesstar told TODAY.com. "I didn't realize they had dropped it to 45. I thought I was way ahead of the game." "Even just the slightest little change, it could be something, but ... don't think that not having symptoms means you don't have to get screened, especially for something that is this curable when caught early," he shared. "That's really what I want to get across." "I ate as well as I could. I was healthy. I was in amazing cardiovascular shape," he explained. "There was no reason in my mind that I should have gotten a positive diagnosis." After publicly revealing his diagnosis last year, Van Der Beek said he's even received support from strangers -- several of whom have shared that his diagnosis have inspired them to get screened. "Guys I see at the gas station, people come up to me at a coffee shop, I appreciate it every time," he said. "That's been stuff that really makes me cry. When people say, 'I got checked, I got a colonoscopy, I got a polyp removed,' ... just to save somebody that journey." Meanwhile, Van Der Beek opened up about how him and his wife, Kimberly, shared the news of his cancer diagnosis with their six kids during an appearance on theTodayshow. TheOne Tree Hillalum -- who shares Olivia, 14, Joshua, 13, Annabel, 11, Emilia, 9, Gwendolyn, 6, Jeremiah, 2, with Kimberly -- said, "I'm far from an expert, but our approach was just be as honest as possible, as honest to the degree of their understanding, right?" "Because they know. They can sense that Dad's having a tough day. They know if Dad's in pain," he continued. "They know, and so by not telling them I think you'e confusing them even more." View this post on Instagram Van Der Beek went on share advice for other parents who may be experiencing a similar struggle, and are finding a way to tell their children about their diagnosis. "Just allow yourself to be surprised by their resiliency," he explained. "When you tell them what you're doing, and you tell them the approach, they can see it and they can feel it, and I think it's also your journey is their journey." "Don't rob them of the opportunity for them to show up for you, emotionally," he added. "I have kids making me tea. 'Dad, what do you need?' There's been a lot of beauty that's come out of it, but I would love to save everybody this journey, which is why I'm saying get screened." During his appearance on the morning show, Van Deer Beek shared that he's "feeling great." "Today, I'm feeling great, yeah. It's been a journey," he said, adding, "There are just so many ups and downs and so many unknowns. Cancer is, I call it a full-time job."

In the sweet photo, Moore could be seen sitting in the surf alongside her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, while her son Oscar "Ozzy," 2, hung on around her neck.

I mean, I feel like having my third child at 40, this term 'geriatric pregnancy' that's thrown around. I think at least in my experience, so many of my friends are having kids later in life, whether it's by choice or it's by circumstance or biology," Moore began. https://people-app.onelink.me/HNIa/kz7l4cuf "I think the thing that I had the most trouble with is just like this system in general kind of treating us as this anomaly that we're like too old and we're too complicated or high risk, and really, it's like, 'Nope, we're just human beings.'" "And I feel like it's just such an outdated label," she continued. "So it's less about how I think the people and the perceptions they may have had, like the people in my life, it was just more about the healthcare system in general. It feels like such an outdated one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to just women in general."

"Being a mom is the single greatest gift of my life and while you're never off the clock worrying or stressing or planning, the quiet, unmistakable joy triumphs over everything else," the actress continued. "I'm endlessly grateful to the moms in my life who model what it takes, lend an ear, make the best suggestions, and generally make me feel less alone on the journey."

'Maybe Happy Ending' Star Helen J. Shen Responds to Andrew Barth Feldman Casting ControversyNew Foto - 'Maybe Happy Ending' Star Helen J. Shen Responds to Andrew Barth Feldman Casting Controversy

Helen J. Shen, the star of Broadway's "Maybe Happy Ending," is defending the show's recent decision to recast the lead male role with a white actor. Producers announced last week that Andrew Barth Feldman, a white actor, would replace Darren Criss, who is of Filipino descent, as the helperbot known as Oliver. Critics of the casting choice have argued that Oliver should continue to be portrayed by a member of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community given the musical's Seoul setting. More from Variety Tony Awards 2025 Preview: Broadway's Back on Top - and Breaking All the Rules - With 'Oh, Mary!,' 'Maybe Happy Ending' and More 'Maybe Happy Ending' Director Michael Arden on Broadway's Most Unlikely Hit and Adapting 'Lost Boys' Into a 'Sexy' and 'Scary' Musical Cole Escola and Darren Criss Embrace Chaos and Crying on Broadway Criss, who originated the role on Broadway and won a Tony for his performance, announced he is leaving the show on Aug. 31. Feldman ("Dear Evan Hansen," "No Hard Feelings") is scheduled to join "Maybe Happy Ending" on Sept. 2 for nine weeks alongside Shen, who originated the role of Claire on Broadway. Feldman and Shen are dating in real life. "I've been struggling to hold multiple truths within me that seem to contradict. I have and continue to be extremely proud to look the way I do and to co-lead this Broadway show. I know the hurt that people feel because growing up, I would have found a beacon of hope in seeing our show on TV on the Tony Awards. A part of me is mourning that along with the community," Shen said in a statement. "This has been an immensely challenging moment within my home with Andrew, and in this building filled with A/PI folks to say the least. I don't know what's forward, but to have this opportunity to play opposite my favorite actor in the world for 9 weeks, who happens to be PERFECT for the role is a huge moment of joy for me." "Maybe Happy Ending," a love story about two abandoned robots, opened on Broadway last fall and initially struggled to sell tickets until word-of-mouth and rave reviews changed the show's trajectory. It won six Tony Awards, including the top prize for best musical. Meanwhile Criss cemented history as the first actor or Asian American descent to nab the best lead actor in a musical prize. "Every perspective on this situation contains truth. I am excited to champion more A/PI works, the way the community has championed 'Maybe Happy Ending,'" Shen's statement continued. "I'm also excited to see work that has a completely different take than 'Maybe Happy Ending,' that can contradict itself, that can be many things, proving that diaspora is a tapestry, and not a monolith." View this post on Instagram A post shared by helen j shen ｜沈雨田 (@helenjshen) "Maybe Happy Ending" authors Hue Park and Will Aronson responded to the controversy in a separate statement, saying they were "extremely saddened that the show, a decade-long labor of love for us, could ever become a source of confusion, anger or pain." "We wrote a show about robots so we could engage more intimately with the most basic human questions of love and loss, creating the roles of Oliver and Claire to be avatars of these universal questions," they wrote on Instagram. "They were meant to be products created by a global company, and so never bore Korean names, even in the Korean version of the show. At the same time, we understand that for many in the AAPI community, the makeup of our opening night cast became a meaningful and rare point of visibility. We've heard how strongly people connected to that representation, even if it wasn't our original intent, and how this casting decision has re-opened old wounds." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Maybe Happy Ending (@maybehappyending) They acknowledge that leading roles for Asian performers have "long been painfully scarce" but expressed optimism about recent color-blind casting in "Dear Evan Hansen," "Hadestown," "Oh, Mary!" and "Cabaret." "Over the last several years, we have been heartened to see Asian performers playing Evan Hansen, Orpheus, Abe Lincoln, Sally Bowles, and others. Leading roles for Asian performers have long been painfully scarce, and these shows excitingly made gestures toward universality with expansive casting, and rightly gave opportunities to actors from identity categories who previously had few options," they continued. "With 'Maybe Happy Ending,' we wanted to write a show in which every role could be played by an Asian performer, but without the intention that the robot roles always would be."

'Make it work mentality' culture at DC airport questioned after fatal crashNew Foto - 'Make it work mentality' culture at DC airport questioned after fatal crash

Air traffic control employees at Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) are often forced to "make it work" with limited resources, Federal Aviation Administration officials said during the second day of the National Transportation Safety Board's hearing into afatal January crash. Sixty-seven people died after an Army Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines regional jet on January 29 over the Potomac River close to Washington. It was thedeadliest U.S. aviation accidentin decades. The NTSB launched a probe into the tragedy, which includes a three-day investigative hearing taking place this week. Here are some major takeaways. Preliminary investigative results released shortly after the accident showed the FAA was aware of ongoing risks at the airport, particularly with military aircraft, but did not take action before the crash, the NTSB alleged. Other issues with DCA included airspace congestion and a shortage of air traffic controllers. Following the tragedy, the FAA restricted the use of military helicopters along Route 1, a helicopter route on the Potomac River that passed in front of DCA's runway 33. Wednesday and Thursday's portions of the hearing partly focused on the roles the Army and FAA played on the night of the crash, with NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy telling FAA officials the agency did not act on warnings from air traffic control staff who had previously suggested flight path changes to avoid collision threats. "Every sign was there that there was a safety risk, and the tower was telling you," said the chairwoman. In a statementposted to X, Senate Commerce Committee Chair Maria Cantwell, D-Washington, who has been a leader in the investigation into the incident, said: "The NTSB hearing revealed the conflicts on the DCA helicopter routes were so clear that an air traffic control working group suggested changing them. "What caused the FAA's oversight to be so flawed that they couldn't fix this problem before this tragedy occurred?" Is flying still safe?:Yes. Here's what travelers should know. NTSB investigator Brian Soper asked air traffic control officials whether a "make it work mentality has been normalized at DCA airport." National Airport Operations Manager Clark Allen said he believed it had. "There's limited real estate for the airport and where to put aircraft, and that can back up very easily," Allen testified. "So, being a high-volume, high-complexity airport, with not a lot of real estate, you have to keep things moving in order to provide a safe and efficient service." Bryan Lehman, an FAA front-line manager, said his tower is currently dealing with many of the issues DCA has and is performing "non-standard air traffic maneuvers" on a daily basis. "We take pride in it," said Lehman, adding, "But I will say that at a certain point, it's too much." Investigators also pressed officials on staffing turnover. Allen said Wednesday that the DCA control tower has had approximately 10 air traffic wardens since early 2013. "Air traffic managers are responsible for considering any sort of changes to routes, any sort of changes, amendments, evaluation of routes annually," Homendy responded. "You've had 10 air traffic managers in a pretty small amount of time. You've had five in the past five years, three in the past two years. How are they supposed to know to do that if you keep switching air traffic managers?" Many of the victims of the plane crash were children and their parents returning from a figure skating competition in Wichita, Kansas. Speaking to ABC affiliateWJLA, Aisha Duggins, whose sister Kiah Duggins died in the crash, said the hearing "brings me hope that we're having these conversations," even though some of the results of the investigation are "deeply unsurprising."

Federal court denies Boston bomber's request for new judge to oversee death sentence appealNew Foto - Federal court denies Boston bomber's request for new judge to oversee death sentence appeal

BOSTON (AP) — A federal court on Thursdaydenied a requestby attorneys for Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to remove the judge overseeing the protracted legal battle over his death sentence. The U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the argument made by Tsarnaev's lawyers that U.S. District Court Judge George O'Toole should be recused from the case because, the lawyers contend, he is not impartial. During an August 2024 hearing, Tsarnaev's attorneys pointed to what they said were comments O'Toole made about the case on podcasts and at public events during the appeals process. In a two-page judgment released Thursday, appeals court judges ruled that O'Toole should continue to preside over the case, determining that "two panel discussions and a podcast in which Judge O'Toole discussed various aspects of organizing complex jury trials and the problems associated with social media in that context" did not constitute grounds for his removal. One of O'Toole's attorneys, David E. Patton, didn't immediately respond to a phone message seeking comment. A federal appeals court in March 2024 ordered O'Toole to investigate claims of juror bias by the defense and to determine whether Tsarnaev's death sentence should stand. He was convicted of helping carry out the 2013 bombing that killed three people and injured hundreds of others near the marathon's finish line. It's unclear when O'Toole might rule on the juror bias issue. If he finds that jurors should have been disqualified, he should vacate Tsarnaev's sentence and hold a new penalty-phase trial to determine if Tsarnaev should be sentenced to death, the appeals court said. In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Courtreinstated the death sentencegiven to Tsarnaev after the 1st Circuit threw out the sentence in 2020. The circuit court found then that the trial judge did not sufficiently question jurors about their exposure to the extensive news coverage of the bombing. The 1st Circuittook another look at the caseafter Tsarnaev's lawyers urged it to examine issues the Supreme Court didn't consider. Among them was whether the trial judge wrongly forced the trial to be held in Boston and wrongly denied defense challenges to the seating of two jurors who they claim lied during questioning. Tsarnaev'sguilt in the deathsof those killed in the bombing was not at issue in the appeal. His lawyers have argued that Tsarnaev fell under the influence of his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed in a gun battle with police days after the bombing. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was convicted of all 30 charges against him. Prosecutors portrayed the brothers — ethnic Chechens who moved to the United States from Russia more than a decade ago — as full partners in a brutal and coldblooded plan to punish the U.S. for its wars in Muslim countries.

Survivor of clergy sex abuse in Peru visits pope's hometown to call for more reformsNew Foto - Survivor of clergy sex abuse in Peru visits pope's hometown to call for more reforms

CHICAGO (AP) — A Peruvian survivor of clergy sex abuse brought her public campaign for reforms to theAmerican hometownof Pope Leo XIV on Thursday, saying he failed in investigating her case when he was a bishop in her home country and needs to step up now as leader of the world's Catholics. "I've been quiet since the pope has been elected," Ana María Quispe Díaz said in Spanish at a news conference in downtown Chicago. "But I'm not planning to be quiet forever." She appeared with members of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. The advocacy group sent a letter to the pope on Thursdayrenewing demandsfor more accountability on clergy sex abuse complaints and released documents related to Díaz's case. The Associated Press doesn't name people who say they were sexually assaulted unless they consent to being identified or decide to tell their stories publicly, as Díaz has. She began speaking out on social media in 2023, and has faced threats and harassment in Peru because of it, SNAP officials said. Ahead of Leo's May election, SNAP filed a formal complaint against then-Cardinal Robert Prevost with the Vatican secretary of state, alleging he abused ecclesiastical power in his handling of two cases. Díaz said she is a victim in one of those cases which overlapped with Prevost'stenure as bishop of Chiclayo, Peru. According to the complaint filed in March by SNAP, Prevost's diocese didn't fully investigate in April 2022 when three women accused priests Eleuterio Vásquez Gonzáles and Ricardo Yesquén of sexually abusing them as minors. Díaz said Thursday that she had spoken briefly with Prevost on the phone in 2020, telling him how she was abused by Vásquez Gonzáles, but wasn't given assurances that much could be done. All three women spoke with Prevost in person in 2022 about both priests, according to Díaz. "How much more damage can he do now that he is the pope?" she asked, speaking through a translator. Following a protocol set by Pope Francis But Prevost did everything he was supposed to do, according to the Chiclayo diocese and Vatican, including restricting the priest's ministry, sending a preliminary investigation to the Vatican's sex crimes office, offering the victims psychological help and suggesting they go to authorities, who archived the case because it happened too long ago. Pope Francis had a mixed record on responding to the clergy sexual abuse crisis, bunglinga major case in Chilein 2018 before reversing course, ordering an investigation and apologizing to the victims. Ultimately, it became a turning point for how he directed the church to handle cases of priests sexually abusing children for the rest of his papacy. In these cases, the Vatican investigation found Prevost acted correctly in imposing preliminary restrictions on Vásquez Gonzáles while Peruvian authorities conducted their own civil investigation. The Vatican office archived the case for lack of evidence, then reopened it in 2023 after it gained traction in the media. Victims' groups are demanding an accounting from Leo. Meanwhile, his supporters say the Chiclayo case is being exploited by his opponents to undermine him after he made enemies by helping shut down Sodalitium Christianae Vitae, ascandal-plagued lay Catholic community in Peru. No one has accused Leo of abuse himself, nor of knowingly keeping confirmed abusers in public ministry, which has been the biggest issue affecting the Catholic Church recently. SNAP wants this accused priest removed ASAP SNAP has asked for accused priests to be removed, which Díaz has sought as well. The organization provided copies of letters sent in July between Peruvian church officials and Díaz. In them, Peruvian church officials say Vásquez Gonzáles requested earlier this year "to be dispensed from the obligations arising from his ordination as a priest and to leave the clerical state." The process would take at least six months to complete, according to the letters. Díaz said that's too long. Fidel Purisaca, director of communications for the Diocese of Chiclayo, neither confirmed nor denied Vásquez Gonzáles' request. "That is a confidential matter between the priest, the bishop, and the Vatican Dicastery," he told The Associated Press in a WhatsApp message. The diocese said Yesquén was too sick to continue his ministry, and neither priest has commented publicly on the accusations. While in Chicago, Díaz did interviews with Spanish language media and for podcasts. She also appeared at SNAP's annual conference in Pennsylvania last week. Now 29 and a mother of two young children, Díaz said she still isn't always ready to talk about it. But she said something changed when her daughter turned 1. "Everything came back to me about the abuse," she said, wiping tears at times. "I couldn't leave her alone. Since then it's been a real fight for me to be able to leave them alone." ___ Associated Press writer Nicole Winfield in Rome and Franklin Briceño in Lima, Peru, contributed to this report.

Majority of ICE arrests in Trump's first 5 months were in these statesNew Foto - Majority of ICE arrests in Trump's first 5 months were in these states

Most of the more than 109,000 arrests carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the first five months of President Trump's second term took place in border and Southern states, according to a CBS News analysis of government data. States in the southern U.S., as well as those along the border with Mexico, saw the highest levels of ICE arrests between the start of Mr. Trump's second term on Jan. 20 and June 27, the figures show. That continued a trend that predates the current administration, thoughICE arrestshave increased sharply across the country since last year. During the same time period in 2024, under the Biden administration, ICE made over 49,000 arrests, meaning that arrests by the agency have increased by 120% under the Trump administration. The statistics indicate that Texas saw nearly a quarter of all ICE arrests during that time period. About 11% of ICE arrests occurred in Florida and 7% in California, followed by 4% in Georgia and 3% in Arizona. ICE made the fewest arrests in Vermont, Alaska and Montana, about 100 total apprehensions combined. The locations of a small percentage of the arrests could not be discerned from the dataset, which was obtained by a group known as the Deportation Data Project through litigation. Overall, the individuals arrested by ICE between Jan. 20 and June 27 came from nearly 180 countries, but most were from Latin America or the Caribbean, according to the data. Mexico was the most common country of citizenship, with nearly 40,000 of those taken into ICE custody listed as Mexican citizens. Nationals of Guatemala and Honduras followed with around 15,000 and 12,000, respectively. Nearly 8,000 were citizens of Venezuela and over 5,000 of El Salvador. Immigration experts said the concentration of arrests in Southern and border states is not necessarily surprising and can largely be attributed to geography, demographics and the extent to which local law enforcement agencies cooperate with ICE. Kathleen Bush-Joseph, a policy analyst at the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank, explained that ICE tends to focus its resources in areas where local policies permit law enforcement interaction with federal immigration authorities, such as Texas and Florida. Other places, like California, may also see high levels of ICE arrests because they have large communities of immigrants, including those in the U.S. illegally, even though state and local policies limit collaboration with ICE. "It's easier for ICE to be picking people up from state and local jails where there's cooperation," Bush-Joseph said. In cities and states with so-called sanctuary policies, "ICE has to spend more resources picking up people for at-large arrests," she added. Bush-Joseph also noted the countries of origin for those arrested by ICE align with broader immigration trends. "Generally, we're talking about countries that are geographically close" to the U.S., she said. Latin American and Caribbean immigrants accounted for 84% of all unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2023, according toa recent reportfrom the Migration Policy Institute. ICE is responsible for arresting, detaining and deporting immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, as well as other noncitizens who lose their legal status, including because of criminal activity. The agency has been given a sweeping mandate by Mr. Trump, tasked with carrying out his campaign promise of overseeing the largest mass deportation effort in American history. Under the Trump administration, ICE has reversed Biden-era limits on arrests in the interior of the country and allowed deportation agents to arrest a broader group of individuals, including those who are in the U.S. illegally but wholack a criminal record. Todd Lyons, the acting ICE director, told CBS News recently that while his agents are still prioritizing the arrest of violent offenders who are in the U.S. illegally,anyone found to be in the countryin violation of federal immigration law will be taken into custody. Halfway into Mr. Trump's first year back in the White House, ICE recorded 150,000 deportations, putting the agency on track to carry out the most removals since the Obama administration, over a decade ago, CBS News reported. The tally is still far short of the 1 million annual deportations Trump officials have said they're targeting. Watch: Hawaii Gov.

Chilean authorities announced Tuesday they had handed over $125,000 in watches stolen from Keanu Reeves tothe FBI. The FBI will return the six watches — which include a Rolex worth a minimum of $9,500 — to theCanadian actorbest known for his performances in "John Wick" and "The Matrix," according to The Associated Press. The timepieces, recovered months ago during police raids, were stolen from Reeves' home in the Hollywood Hillsneighborhood of Los Angelesin December 2023 amid a string of high-profile break-ins. Reeves identified the recovered watches as those stolen, the AP reported, citing Chilean prosecutors. California Police Nab 7 Foreign Nationals In Jewelry Store Heist, 1 Suspect Still Loose Reeves' burglarized watches were foundduring police raidsof homes in Chile's capital of Santiago. Law enforcement found a range of stolen items at the time, including iPhones, cars, designer purses and luxury watches, according to AP.

Jinger Duggar's Husband Jeremy Vuolo Reflects on Facing 'Deep Betrayal' in Early MarriageNew Foto - Jinger Duggar's Husband Jeremy Vuolo Reflects on Facing 'Deep Betrayal' in Early Marriage

Jinger Duggar's husband,Jeremy Vuolo, is opening up about a challenging time in the early days of the pair's marriage. During the Wednesday, July 30, episode of the "Jinger & Jeremy Podcast," the couple sat down withLydia Plathand her husband,Zac Wyse, who sharedtheir whirlwind love storywith listeners in a two-part interview. As the conversation concluded, Vuolo, 37, reflected on facing pressure from people outside of his relationship with Duggar, 31. "There was a time in our life, very early on in our marriage, where we experienced some — I describe it as deep betrayal," he recalled. "You have relationships in your life that ground you, and when those shake or are removed, you feel like, 'What am I doing?'" Vuolo remembered consulting a pastor throughout the pair's hardship. "This was a moment when we were both very deeply unsettled, where it was like, we both felt that shaking," he continued. "And I'll never forget what [the pastor] said. ... He said, 'Jeremy, I think the Lord's teaching you how to walk alone.' And not alone like me away from her or us from the Lord, but the two of us having to be dependent upon Him." Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo's Relationship Timeline: From Courtship to Married With Children According to the podcast host, it was "the first time" he'd shared the story so openly. He noted that it occurred around eight years prior — and had nothing to do with either of their families. "It was people in my life that [Jinger] had come into and people I had been really, like, excited for her to meet and engage with," Vuolo explained. "And then it was like, it was really difficult. ... But now, looking back eight years later, we're in our ninth year of marriage and we're going, 'Oh man, those were the greatest lessons we've ever learned.' Like, 'This is the greatest thing that could have ever happened to us.'" Vuolo and Duggar tied the knot in 2016 andshare three children: daughters Felicity, 6, and Evangeline, 4, and son Finn, 4 months. Duggar said that working through those challenges as newlyweds was a "huge" turning point in the duo's relationship. "We were able to draw closer to each other and ... we felt so close throughout our relationship [and] early marriage, but that was a deepening and a whole different level when you walk through pain and hardship together," she said on Wednesday. The twosome have previously been candid about adjusting totheir first year of marriage, and Vuolo noted on the podcast that being on reality TV may have played a role. "We looked back on our first year and thought, 'That was really incredible,' but actually, there were a ton of challenges," he said. "And a lot of them were assaults from the outside. And it was like, 'OK, we didn't expect to be in a war zone,' but we got to bunker down and we get to bunker down with each other." Jinger Duggar Recalls Recreating Major Relationship Milestone With Jeremy Vuolo for TLC Cameras Vuolo said the challenges only made him and Duggar stronger. "Literally, coming back from our honeymoon, we walked into — and this again, was a situation in Texas, in my situation — we walked into, like, a war zone immediately," he added. "We're like, 'What? Didn't expect that.' ... But things like that drew us closer and accelerated that growth as well." Sharing some words of wisdom for Plath and Wyse, whotied the knot in February, Vuolo said that the key to a happy marriage is "choosing to love one another every day." "Life is gonna get hard and there are gonna be things that threaten your marriage, and there are gonna be moments where you don't feel the way you feel, but that's not what love is," he said. "Love is dictated by a decision."

Military now won't cut off satellite data used by hurricane forecasters, climate scientistsNew Foto - Military now won't cut off satellite data used by hurricane forecasters, climate scientists

A plan thatwould have stopped the flow of essential forecast datafrom a trio of aging military satellites during themiddle of hurricane seasonhas been nixed after widespread pushback. Statements from the U.S. Navy and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration confirmed on July 29 that data flow from microwave sounders on the trio of Department of Defense Satellites would continue until sometime next year as originally planned, backtracking fromearlier announcements in May and June. The sounders track rain and winds over the oceans and ice, said Walter Meier, a senior research scientist at theNational Snow and Ice Data Centerat the University of Colorado. Federal agencies and the military use the non-classified data for an array of computer modeling, but the information is considered vital for providingregular details about the polar regions, scientists told USA TODAY. Additionally, numerous scientists have pointed out the importance of the microwave satellite data for logging information about moisture inside hurricanes, although NOAA emphasized the agency has a "robust suite" of other hurricane forecasting tools. For monitoring sea ice, the microwave instruments provide "complete coverage of the polar regions every day and can 'see' at night," Meier said. They are not affected by what gets reflected or refracted in the atmosphere and have operated continuously since 1987. "That's almost 38 years-worthof sea ice databeing used to track conditions in the Arctic," he said. Scientists have similar continuity for Antarctica. Losing the microwave data would make it difficult to keep the long-term records intact. The three satellites have been flying since at least 2009, Meier said. Typically planned to last three to five years, these missions have "kind of been living on borrowed time." So it wasn't a surprise when the military sent out notifications earlier this year that it would stop processing and distributing the data in September 2026. Just a few weeks later, for reasons that were never fully explained, the military announced it would stop providing the data on June 30, 2025, more than a year earlier than expected. That kicked off frantic discussions among Meier and hurricane forecasters about how to replace that data. In response to a huge backlash, the military extended its deadline to July 30, 2025. But on July 29, one day before the data transmissions were scheduled to stop, the Navy stated that after "feedback from government partners, officials found a way to meet modernization goals while keeping the data flowing until the sensor fails or the program formally ends in September 2026." The decision was initially reported by Michael Lowry, a meteorologist and hurricane specialist in Miami. NOAA stated there would be "no interruption" to the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program data and the agency would continue to have access to the data for the duration of the program's life span. When a hurricane is far out at sea, the microwave sensors are one of the only ways to diagnose a storm's internal structure, said Andy Hazelton, an associate scientist at the University of Miami. A current NOAA satellite with a microwave instrument has different frequencies, and does not provide the same information, the scientists said, and polar orbiters aren't as effective because they sample less frequently. Hazelton saidthings change fast inside tropical cyclonesand forecasters need as much data as possible. Losing the microwave data would degrade hurricane forecasts, said John Cortinas, a former deputy assistant administrator for science with NOAA's Oceanic and Atmospheric Research. "Typically, fewer observations mean less accuracy." Losing half the microwave data available to forecasters decreases the ability to identify the most dangerous storms, theones that intensify quicklyand catch forecasters and the public off guard, said Jeff Masters, a former Hurricane Hunter research scientist and co-founder of Weather Underground. Rapid intensification:Some hurricanes suddenly explode in intensity Masters was among those who found it troubling that the loss of data could occur at a time when the frequency "of this most dangerous type of hurricane is increasing," There were nine such storms in the Atlantic last year, tying the record for the most in 45 years. Even the original one-month extension would have been too little time to arrange for, and fine-tune, other instruments to match the previous data for scientific continuity, Cortinas said. The satellite instruments,called Special Sensor Microwave Imager Sounders,are fairly low resolution and don't do a whole lot for security and warfighting support, so they aren't a priority for an agency with a mission of national security and defense, Meier said. But he wishes there had been "more recognition of the value of the products to U.S. civilians." Because the satellites are considered "very old," they're not as secure as they should be or as secure as a new system, Meier said. It's also likely the military didn't feel like it was worth it to upgrade the satellites, he said. For now, he's keeping his "fingers crossed" that the data will continue to flow and give them an extended period tofind a way to replace the microwave dataand ensure continuity for long-term sea ice records at the ends of the Earth. One possibility, he previously told USA TODAY, includes an agreement to use data from another government, such as the Japanese Space Agency.
