The Terriers came into the game as the No. 4 seed in the conference tournament. The Midshipmen had the best record in the conference and were the No. 1 seed. The game was tied at 70 apiece with Navy inbounding the ball from the other side of the court and about 8.4 seconds left in the game.

Navy’s Austin Benigni received the pass and took the ball coast-to-coast for the go-ahead layup.

Boston’ Chance Gladden received the ball quickly in a last-ditch effort to try to put the Terriers back up. He dribbled up the court, went behind his back as he crossed mid-court and threw up a prayer from well beyond the 3-point line. It went in.

The Terriers improved to 17-16 on the season and still have hopes that they could punch their ticket to the dance with a win in the Patriot League Championship. Navy, with a record of 26-7, may be on the outside looking into the NCAA Tournament this season.

Gladden finished with 26 points on 8-of-12 from the field. He made three 3-pointers and had four assists to his credit. Michael McNair added 22 points.

Navy’s Aidan Kehoe had 26 points, 12 rebounds and five steals in the loss. Benigni added 17 points.

Boston will play Lehigh in the Patriot League Championship on Wednesday.

People reported that Andrew sent Epstein family Christmas cards in 2011 and 2012 featuring photos of Beatrice and Eugenie.

Epstein was convicted in 2008 on one count of soliciting prostitution and one count of procuring a minor for prostitution. He served 13 months in jail and later died in custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on new charges.

Andrew announced in October that he was giving up his royal titles, and the palace confirmed later that month that the king had "initiated a formal process to remove the style, titles and honours of Prince Andrew."

The decision followed Andrew’s initial step back from public life in 2019 after his BBC interview, in which he discussed his relationship with Epstein. On Feb. 3, Andrew vacated Royal Lodge, three months after the king ordered him to surrender his lease.

Fox News Digital's Stephanie Nolasco contributed to this report.

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., called on President Donald Trump to remove long-time adviser Stephen Miller from the administration on Sunday, describing him as an "embarrassment" and a "big problem" for the administration.

The North Carolina Republican’s comments come on the heels of the high-profile firing of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem last week. Tillis, speaking on CNN’s "State of the Union," suggested that Miller should be the next official to exit the West Wing in his latest shot at the top aide.

"It gives me pause that you have people like Stephen Miller calling the shots," Tillis told host Jake Tapper. "It was Stephen Miller that was talking about a terrorist brandishing a gun. It was Stephen Miller who said it was the position of the United States that we should go after Greenland. It was Stephen Miller who has been repeatedly responsible for embarrassment for the President of the United States by acting too quickly. Speaking first and thinking later."

STEPHEN MILLER: THE US MILITARY IS NOT FIGHTING ‘POLITICALLY CORRECT’

Tillis, who is not running for reelection, specifically took aim at Miller’s role in orchestrating the administration's crackdown on illegal immigration. While the GOP remains largely unified on the need for border security, Tillis argued that Miller’s methods and public rhetoric—including comments regarding the shooting death of Alex Pretti—have become a liability.

When asked directly by Tapper if he believes Miller should be fired, Tillis was unequivocal, "Oh, of course I do."

"He's not worried about substance. He's more worried about form," Tillis continued. "But I also think that he has an outsized influence over the operations of the Cabinet. And I believe we've got qualified Cabinet members there that sometimes are doing less than what they want to because of his direction and his outsized influence."

"He's a big problem in this administration, he has been from the beginning," he added.

Tillis has been a longtime critic of Miller and Noem's handling of deportation efforts. Earlier this year, he blamed the two officials for hurting Trump's legacy and was the first GOP senator to call for Noem to step down. He's also previously called for Miller's ouster.

GOP SENATORS TANGLE WITH NOEM DURING HEATED HEARING ON HER HANDLING OF DEPORTATION SURGE

Miller, known as the architect of some of the administration’s most aggressive immigration policies, is widely considered one of Trump's most loyal and influential advisers. This high profile has attracted criticism but has also garnered him strong support from Republicans and Trump supporters. 

A White House official pointed to a Hill report last month where Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., led more than a dozen of his Republican colleagues in defending Miller and the "instrumental" role he has played in the administration. 

"People can disagree with Stephen on rhetoric, and they can disagree with him on policy, but the question is, ‘Is Stephen Miller in jeopardy in Trump World?’ Absolutely not," Graham said.

"Because of him and other members of the President’s team, critical priorities like stopping deadly fentanyl, unleashing America’s energy, and bringing much-needed economic relief for working families are now a reality for Pennsylvania," Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., said.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR KRISTI NOEM? 2026 SENATE CHATTER GROWS AFTER DHS EXIT

TUCSON, Ariz. — More than five weeks after the suspected abduction of Nancy Guthrie — the 84-year-old mother of "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie — Arizona authorities say cadaver dogs used earlier in the investigation are not currently being deployed as the search continues.

The elder Guthrie is believed to have been kidnapped from her home in the Catalina Foothills in northern Tucson around 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 1.

While no suspects have been publicly identified, and she has not been found, cadaver dogs had been deployed earlier in the case, according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos. They have not been visible in weeks.

"They are available if needed in the future," he told Fox News Digital.

There are a number of reasons not to be using cadaver dogs at this stage in the investigation, according to Betsy Brantner Smith, a retired police sergeant and spokeswoman for the National Police Association.

NANCY GUTHRIE'S NEIGHBORS FLAG CAMERA GLITCHING, EXPERTS EXPLAIN WI-FI JAMMING

One would be if there’s credible information that Guthrie is still alive.

"Anything is possible," Nanos told Fox News Digital last week, adding that he would not discuss specific leads or evidence in the case.

DNA IS STILL PENDING AS VOLUNTEERS FIND ANOTHER GLOVE IN THE SEARCH FOR NANCY GUTHRIE

Brantner Smith, who is not involved in the case, said departments may hold back K-9 resources for several reasons. Those could be that authorities don’t have a good idea of where to search, they think she might be concealed in a place where dogs would have a hard time detecting her, or they believe she’s been taken to Mexico, according to Brantner Smith.

"I do believe that the sheriff's department has much more information that they are not releasing to the public," she told Fox News Digital. "And I'm not sure at this point why that would be, unless they have a solid suspect and don't want to tip them off."

Most departments, including the Pima County Sheriff’s, don’t have their own cadaver dogs and borrow them from state and federal authorities or neighboring jurisdictions.

In Guthrie’s case, the sheriff’s department sought K-9 assistance from the local Border Patrol office earlier in the investigation.

PCSD deferred further comment on the K-9s to Customs and Border Protection, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

However, Russia's most important strategic partner, China, continues to supply vast quantities of microelectronics and components for Russia’s military-industrial complex at a scale Iran could not match. But Beijing has carefully avoided direct lethal hardware transfers to preserve a degree deniability. Iran, on the other hand, filled the gap China deliberately left open: front-line weapons and production blueprints, deployed without hesitation.

Russia has fully indigenized Shahed production, even improving on the original design with the more sophisticated and expensive Geran variants. The Iranian government’s 50-year legacy of terror will live on not only in Middle Eastern states, but in Europe for as long as the war in Ukraine continues.

With the U.S. campaign promising to last for at least several weeks, Iran's capacity to supply additional ballistic missiles is now compromised. Its ability to upgrade drone designs at home and deliver replacement components is degraded. Moreover, every Russian asset potentially diverted to shield a battered Iran, air defense systems, aircraft components, logistics, is an asset unavailable in Zaporizhzhia or Kherson. Moscow is now burdened by a weakened, desperate partner at precisely the moment it can least afford the distraction.

This represents a different kind of pressure on Russia than sanctions or battlefield aid — one that works through the partnership networks and supply chains that have sustained the Russian war effort. Zelenskyy's prescient statement that every act of aggression ultimately meets a just response was directed towards Moscow and Tehran. While Ukraine was not Washington's primary consideration when President Trump decided to strike Iran, the calculus of the war in Ukraine will become more complicated for Russia, and that’s a good thing for Ukrainians fighting for their very right to survive.

The latest excavation of the tomb began in January.

"There are a minimum of three individuals identified — but there are probably more. This tomb is somewhat smaller in general size, more long than round."

HUD estimates that under our proposal, between 19,000 and 79,000 families nationally will move out of subsidized housing in the first year, opening doors for new families in need. This is a win-win situation. The families leaving assistance will earn more, contribute more to their own rent, and stand on firmer financial ground, while the families finally getting assistance will receive the help they’ve been waiting on for years.

Most importantly, this is about dignity. Work is a pathway to meaning, independence, and stability.

We can now openly admit what has been unfolding before our eyes for a year: that Kristi Noem was an utter, complete, total catastrophe, her tenure in charge of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) little more than a self-promoting crusade.

She was unqualified for the job from day one, and largely responsible for the awful excesses of ICE and the frustrating failures of FEMA. 

President Donald Trump's decision to fire her, which took way too long, liberates many Republicans to acknowledge what many in the media, including me, along with Democrats and outside critics, have been saying all along: Noem was a slow-motion train wreck. 

WATCH THE MOST VIRAL MOMENTS AS KRISTI NOEM’S HEARING GOES OFF THE RAILS

The former South Dakota governor had no experience in national security issues, and that became painfully evident.

This is a woman so determined to project the image of a tough cowgirl that when she wrote a memoir, she boasted about having shot her dog because she hated the pet. Talk about a self-inflicted wound. 

This is a woman who trashed two American citizens tragically killed by ICE by calling them domestic terrorists, and in one case an agitator. And refused to take it back. 

The proper response was simple: This is awful, we feel terrible for the family, we are investigating, and I'll report back when we have more information. How hard is that?

In the case of Renee Good, who was fatally shot after dropping off her child at school, there was no investigation. Noem simply declared the ICE agent had acted properly, and that was that.

Noem also bears responsibility for the hyper-aggressive approach of ICE in Minneapolis, which led to innocent Americans being dragged out of their cars and homes. The agents have a tough job to do, but many were hired after ICE slashed training for new recruits. She and the agency lied about that too. 

The constant mistakes turned the public against ICE to the point that Trump had to bring in border czar Tom Homan to try to salvage the situation.

DHS SECRETARY KRISTI NOEM ADDRESSES CALLS FOR HER FIRING, NEW ALEX PRETTI VIDEO

Noem also exacerbated the mess at FEMA. By insisting that she approve every contract or grant over $100,000, she created a huge backlog in which people who had been through the process in disaster areas have waited months and months and can’t get their money. Some Republicans complained about this after taking heat from their constituents. 

Meanwhile, DHS spent millions on ads promoting the boss, not to mention the private plane used to ferry her around. 

She posed at the notorious El Salvador prison, the shirtless inmates behind her reduced to props, wearing a $50,000 gold Rolex watch.

She posed riding a horse at Mount Rushmore to further that gun-toting image. Other agents nicknamed her "ICE Barbie." 

Noem was awful at hearings, defensive and ill-prepared, as lawmakers hammered her. She even got grilled about her relationship with her special government employee, Corey Lewandowski, Trump's first campaign manager, although both dismissed the rumors. 

But the thin ice didn't crack until she flatly lied about the president.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS HOLD 'SHADOW HEARINGS' AS THEY BUILD CASE TO IMPEACH KRISTI NOEM

Under aggressive questioning by Republican Sen. John Kennedy, she claimed Trump had approved a $220-million advertising contract with her as the featured star. Even someone with a rusty political antenna would realize that Trump was the star of the show. 

Only four firms were deemed eligible to bid for this contract. And the award went to a firm that had not existed eight days earlier. It had no website. It had no known office. It had never done work for the government. 

This company was created for the sole purpose of winning this lucrative windfall of federal money.

What the firm did have was a strong political connection to Noem. As revealed by Pro Publica, this Delaware outfit, the Strategy Group, played a key role in Noem's 2022 campaign for governor. 

When Kennedy let it be known that Trump had phoned him and called BS on her account, anyone with 10 minutes' experience in Washington could tell that Noem was toast. 

The president was so furious that he shuffled her off to a previously nonexistent job, as special envoy to a new Western Hemisphere security initiative. Not exactly a golden parachute.

Trump, addressing the radioactive contract, told NBC News: "I wasn’t thrilled with it. I spent less money than that to become president. I didn’t know about it."

The president's replacement pick, Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin, is widely respected as a more seasoned choice with aggressive views about deportation. He was classy with reporters, saying he and Noem are friends and that she did the best she could under difficult circumstances.

It's hardly unusual for a Cabinet to have a couple of clunkers. For Trump, who dismissed top officials left and right during his first term, this was the first Cabinet firing of his current tenure, and came while he's waging war against Iran. 

The president was extraordinarily patient with Noem, but she did serious damage to him, the administration and the country on his signature issue of immigration. 

Virtually no one is defending her, except perhaps close family and friends. The need for pretense is over.

The Pentagon on Sunday announced that U.S. forces have carried out a lethal strike on a vessel allegedly carrying suspected narco-traffickers in the Eastern Pacific, killing six people on board.

The U.S. Southern Command said it conducted "a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations" at the direction of the new leader of the Southern Command, Gen. Francis L. Donovan of the Marine Corps, who took over in January.

"Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations," the Southern Command said in a press release.

Six men on the ship were killed but no U.S. forces died in the attack on the vessel, according to the Southern Command.

The latest strike brings the death toll in the Trump administration's attacks on ships carrying people it accuses of drug smuggling to at least 156, according to The New York Times.

This was the 45th strike since the U.S. began targeting boats in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific in early September and comes amid a recent increase in the pace of strikes, the newspaper reported.

BIPARTISAN PUSH GROWS IN SENATE TO FORCE RELEASE OF UNEDITED CARIBBEAN STRIKE FOOTAGE

The attack on Sunday was one of the deadliest boat strikes the military has conducted in recent weeks.

"Going on offense with Operation Southern Spear has restored deterrence against the narco-terrorist cartels that profited from poisoning Americans," Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said last week. "Last month, we went a few weeks without targeting a single boat. Why? Well, because we couldn't find a whole lot of boats to sink, and that's the whole point is to establish deterrence from narco-terrorists who have been able to traffic almost unfettered."

The Pentagon has refused to release the identities of those killed in the strikes since last fall or provide evidence of drugs on board.

The administration has been scrutinized in recent months over the strikes, including by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who has raised concerns about killing people without due process and the possibility of killing innocent people.

"I look at my colleagues who say they’re pro-life, and they value God's inspiration in life, but they don't give a s‑‑- about these people in the boats," Paul said in January. "Are they terrible people in the boats? I don't know. They're probably poor people in Venezuela and Colombia."

The senator previously cited Coast Guard statistics that show a significant percentage of boats boarded on suspicion of drug trafficking are innocent.

As Americans are stranded in the Middle East amid the U.S. and Israel war with Iran, government and private agencies are working around the clock to conduct evacuations.

In addition to the U.S. Department of State's 24/7 task force aimed at evacuating Americans, private security firm Global Guardian is also working around the clock to complete the same mission.

As of Friday, Global Guardian has evacuated more than 4,000 people from the Middle East, according to its CEO and President, Dale Robert Buckner.

While operations and logistics teams sit in an office building in northern Virginia, the firm has personnel in more than 140 countries, allowing Global Guardian access to nearly every corner of the world for emergency response or evacuations.

TRUMP SAYS DEFENSE GIANTS WILL QUADRUPLE PRODUCTION OF WEAPONS

"We provide medical evac services, we provide kidnap, ransom, extortion negotiation payment if someone is kidnapped or extorted," Buckner said. "We're providing about 300 missions a month of executive protection travel, in about 84 countries a month."

The private security firm also conducts camera surveillance of residences and commercial property and has cyber analysts monitoring mobile devices. 

After the U.S. and Israel struck Iran in a joint attack last weekend, the firm has been coordinating multiple emergency response evacuations — but this isn't the first time it has assisted Americans out of a crisis zone.

"That means getting people out of Puerto Vallarta a week ago, and Jalisco, Mexico. That means getting people out of Asheville, North Carolina when it got wiped out by a hurricane," Buckner said. 

STATE DEPARTMENT GIVES UPDATES ON AMERICANS FLEEING MIDDLE EAST

Logistically, getting tourists out of a war zone and back to safety is a process, but the firm works fast, completing their first border crossing within the first six hours of the missile strikes.

Immediately, the firm received a call from a pair of students studying abroad, Deputy Vice President of Operations Colin O'Brien told Fox News. He said they were trying to leave Dubai.

"Within about four and a half hours from the phone call, we had our teams in motion to go pick these people up and it was two college-aged women," said O'Brien.

"Put them in the car, we were then able to move from the Omani border and by eight hours we were at the border. Work through the border checkpoint to a hotel in Muscat, where we could stop and give them a short rest while we arrange their transportation home," he says. 

The group said it remains active year-round to ensure evacuation plans are in place before disasters strike.

"There's a narrative of, here’s the pickup point, here’s the key crossing site," Buckner said. "This is what you’re gonna need from a paperwork standpoint, legally. And then we’re gonna put you in a hotel or straight onto a commercial flight. Most likely, at this point in the war, we’re gonna put you on a private charter."

WHAT'S NEXT IN OPERATION EPIC FURY

Buckner said most of these missions happening in the region are ground movement, done by locals. He says in the 140 countries the firm is in, they have ground teams working year-round. Consistently training year-round. 

"We're communicating, we're coordinating, we're executing. Executive protection agents, armed agents, armed vehicles, large-scale event support with medical and security personnel," he said, describing the firm's standard operating capabilities.

"We're coordinating whether the firm needs drivers. From Dubai to Oman, Israel to either Oman, Jordan or Egypt. Out of Bahrain into Saudi Arabia," Buckner said.

While the firm is coordinating with the State Department, it said it has not yet conducted a flight mission on behalf of the department.

Global Guardian offers these services through what it calls a "Duty of Care Membership," which Buckner said costs $15,000 per year for a family of five.

"You are going to sign a contract — whether it's a family, a family office or typically a large corporate logo. Then we become, at your beck and call," Buckner said, describing the emergency response services included in the agreement.

For Americans currently stuck in the Middle East, Buckner said the cost of evacuation using ground and air resources varies depending on the situation and location.

"I’m going to say this right here, I’ve done several Kentucky games, win or lose, $22 million this team [which has been reported] in terms of the NIL for their players," he said, per Awful Announcing. "I think in $22 million, they could have put together a better roster than they did. I really do."

The Wildcats ended up losing by a score of 84-77, and Vitale continued about Kentucky near the end of their 12th loss of the season. 

2025-26 COLLEGE BASKETBALL ODDS: WHICH SQUADS WILL WIN CONFERENCE TOURNEYS?

"I’ll tell you one thing, you don’t want to walk out of here thinking you got a moral victory," Vitale said, referencing a hard-fought game against the No. 5-ranked Florida team. "Moral victories don’t count at this level of basketball. And you hear some of the people, ‘We played them close. We played them tough.’ 

"The bottom line is you’re Kentucky. You’re Kentucky. And you’ve got to leave here with a win, especially at home. There are no moral victories. Come on. I don’t want to hear that."

The Wildcats were once the top program in the country under former Coach John Calipari, who left for Arkansas after being unable to make a long March Madness run in recent seasons, including a shocking first round upset to the Oakland Golden Grizzlies in the 2024 NCAA Tournament. 

The Wildcats have been coached by Mark Pope since, and they made the Sweet 16 in last year’s tournament before losing to Tennessee. 

But this year, Kentucky is 10-8 in SEC play, and now face the No. 9 seed in the upcoming tournament this week. The winner of each conference earns a tournament berth, but the Wildcats know good seeding in the NCAA Tournament requires a strong run heading into Selection Sunday this upcoming weekend. 

The Wildcats will start their SEC Tournament play on Wednesday against No. 16 LSU.

In turn, McDuffie is now the highest-paid at his position in the league with an average annual value of $31 million in new money. He will be paid $13.6 million in 2026 on his fifth-year option. 

The Rams sent over their No. 29 pick in this year’s NFL Draft to acquire McDuffie, as well as 2026 fifth- and sixth-round selections and a 2027 third-round pick. 

RAMS PICK UP ALL-PRO TRENT MCDUFFIE IN BLOCKBUSTER TRADE WITH CHIEFS: REPORT

McDuffie, a First-team All-Pro in 2023, has Super Bowl pedigree, playing a starting role in the secondary for two rings as part of the Chiefs’ dominance in recent seasons. He set a career-high in tackles last season (63), while totaling seven passes defended, one sack, and one forced fumble. 

For his early career, McDuffie has 34 passes defended, eight forced fumbles, 5.5 sacks and 246 combined tackles. He is one of the best at his position, which is why Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes tweeted, "damn," after news broke that McDuffie was moving out west.

McDuffie, though, heads back home, having been born in Westminster, California, which is part of Orange County. He even discussed the possibility of playing somewhere other than Kansas City, hoping, if anything, he would be going back to California. 

"If I could play for another team, I'd probably want to play close to my family, so that would probably be the L.A. Rams so that my family could come see every single game," McDuffie said during a back-to-school event in August 2025, per ESPN.

McDuffie’s deal comes before what’s expected to be a hectic free agent period, beginning on Monday when the legal tampering window opens at noon ET. During that time, players and teams are allowed to agree to terms on an extension, which would clear when the new league year begins on March 11 at 4 p.m. ET.

CBS Sunday Morning correspondent David Pogue interviewed Apple's CEO Tim Cook ahead of the company's 50th anniversary on April 1, 2026.


In the interview, Cook revealed the two things that are "essential" to Apple: people and culture.

"Yes, we have a lot of intellectual property and so forth, and that is important, but it's people that create that intellectual property," said Cook. "It's the culture that creates the innovation with the intellectual property."

"I think it's very difficult to replicate culture," added Cook. "It takes a long time, because you have to hire the right people. And then those people have to hire the right people, and you have to build a complete organization."


That culture then has to be sustained as life changes and technology evolves, he said.

Cook concluded that Apple is a "party of one."

"I think Apple is such a unique place, it's not possible to replicate it," he said. "I know a lot of different companies, and I think Apple is just in a party of one."

Pogue is the author of the new book Apple: The First 50 Years, set to be released this Tuesday.

From the book's official description:

In time for Apple's 50th anniversary, CBS Sunday Morning correspondent David Pogue tells the iconic company's entire life story: how it was born, nearly died, was born again under Steve Jobs, and became, under CEO Tim Cook, the most valuable company in the world. The book features full-color photos, new facts that correct the record and illuminate its subversive culture, and fresh interviews with the legendary figures who shaped Apple into what it is today.

An excerpt from the book, focused on Steve Jobs and Apple's "Think Different" campaign, is available on the CBS News website.

The machine sits toward the end of the dugout, but players and coaches can get their quick caffeine fix. And it isn’t anything new from this group. 

During the 2023 WBC, there was a Nespresso machine in the dugout, and it worked out for the team. They made it out of their group stage for just the second time ever in the tournament. 

AARON JUDGE LEADS TEAM USA TO WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC OPENER WIN OVER BRAZIL

So, why not bring it back? 

First baseman Vinnie Pasquantino, who stars for the Kansas City Royals, seems to be the ring leader with the machine when a player goes yard, too. After making the player who hit the home run an espresso shot, he gives them a kiss on both cheeks – a traditional sign of affection by Italians. 

"In Italy, we drink coffee about 20 times a day," manager Francisco Cervelli, who used to catch in the big leagues, said, via MLB.com. "It’s a tradition. You’re walking down the road. You see a coffee spot, get some coffee. Then you chitchat, and then keep walking and do the same thing all over and over again. That’s how Italy is."

Cervelli, who became Italy’s manager in January 2025, said that the espresso machine "goes everywhere with us," and he learned that with the European Baseball Championship last year as well. 

"It’s something normal. We got it on the bus. We’ve had it in the dugout, everywhere."

Whether superstition or not, Italy has seen early success in Houston’s Pool B, which also features Team USA. They are 2-0 in the tournament thus far, defeating Brazil, 8-0, and taking down Great Britain, 7-4, on Sunday. 

Italy’s next contest will be against Team USA on Tuesday night at 8 p.m. ET.

Oil pares gains but still on track for record surge as Iran war escalates

Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has ground to a virtual halt, unleashing the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s.

The U.S. is targeting militias that have carried out dozens of attacks in a show of support for Iran.

Iran’s Assembly of Experts has elected Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as the country’s new supreme leader, according to reports.

Iran International cited sources who claimed the decision was made "under pressure" from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, is the second-eldest son of Ali Khamenei and was born in Mashhad in 1969.

His early childhood coincided with his father’s rise as a revolutionary figurehead opposing the monarchy of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

TRUMP SAYS IRAN’S SUCCESSION BENCH WIPED OUT AS ISRAELI STRIKE HITS LEADERSHIP DELIBERATIONS

After the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Ali Khamenei moved from a dissident cleric to a senior government official, holding key posts in the regime including deputy defense minister.

The family moved from Mashhad to Tehran, where Mojtaba attended Alavi High School, which is a school that is known for educating members of Iran’s political and religious elite.

There, he received a general and religious education and graduated in 1987. In 1989, after the death of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Ali Khamenei was appointed supreme leader.

ISRAEL STRIKES IRANIAN LEADERSHIP MEETING CHOOSING KHAMENEI SUCCESSOR

That same year, Mojtaba began his formal clerical studies in Tehran. He studied under his father as well as Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi, who later served as Iran’s chief justice.

Over the years, Mojtaba was seen constantly with his father and was also regarded as an influential figure behind the scenes.

In 2019, the U.S. sanctioned Mojtaba Khamenei under Executive Order 13867. The U.S. Treasury Department stated that he had been "representing the supreme leader in an official capacity despite never being elected or appointed to a government position aside from work in the office of his father."

IRAN'S SUPREME LEADER ALI KHAMENEI DEAD AFTER IDF STRIKE HITS TEHRAN COMPOUND, ISRAELI SOURCE CONFIRMS

The Treasury also said that the supreme leader had delegated part of his leadership responsibilities to Mojtaba. 

It said he worked closely with commanders of the IRGC’s Quds Force and the Basij Resistance Force, positioning him as a key player in both domestic and international security affairs.

Mojtaba is married to the daughter of former Iranian Parliament Speaker Gholam Ali Haddad-Adel.

Among Ali Khamenei’s sons, he is considered the most powerful and politically influential, according to reports.

Initial reports had indicated Mojtaba was among around 40 officials killed in Feb. 28's strike targeting Iran’s highest-ranking cleric.

As previously reported by Fox News Digital, President Trump said strikes on Iran eliminated much of the regime’s anticipated leadership succession bench.  "Most of the people we had in mind are dead," Trump told reporters Tuesday.

As yet, Iranian state media has not confirmed the succession reports.

Iranian security chief Ali Larijani says President Trump will “pay the price” but has also shown an appetite for diplomacy.

The position gives Mojtaba the final say in all matters of state in the Islamic Republic.

Handler Lee Cox said Bruin was the "dog of a lifetime" as he accepted the award.

"We always ask questions about why this happened … ’God, why this and why that?’" Sanders said. 

"When we’re successful, we’re excelling, and overcoming adversity, we never ask God, ‘Why?’ then. Only in our demise and sadness of life, we challenge and ask God,’ Why?’ I think I’ve got the solution."

Sanders, then, started to speak about his former signal caller. 

DEION SANDERS MOURNS LOSS OF COLORADO QUARTERBACK DOMINIQ PONDER: ‘ONE OF MY FAVORITES’

"As I look right there, and look at a young man so full of life – so full of respect, bustle, hard work, and integrity. I ask God, ‘For real?’ And he whispered: ‘Dom was chosen.’

"Dom was chosen to unite y’all, to bring you all together. Dom was chosen."

"Coach Prime" directed part of his eulogy to Ponder’s parents, which led to him getting understandably choked up at the podium. 

"The only darn thing I have regret for is that when you sent us a boy. I wanted to send you back a man," Sanders said, taking a pause to try and control his emotions. 

Ponder had been a walk-on quarterback with the Buffaloes in Sanders’ first season, as he tried to configure his team. He already had his son, Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders, set to start for Colorado after their success at Jackson State. But Ponder and others in the quarterback room were looking to work and develop under the elder Sanders’ tutelage. 

Ponder saw appearances in two of the Buffaloes’ games last season. 

But while Sanders has a regret about Ponder, his parents gave him praise, issuing a statement thanking "Coach Prime" for his "unwavering generosity, support, and love shown to our family." They also thanked everyone for their "heartfelt gratitude" in a separate statement.

Sanders called an emergency meeting with his Buffaloes roster after learning of Ponder’s death, and a raw scene shared on social media showed him comforting emotional players. Sanders himself was emotional while delivering a speech to his team. 

"His character, humor, work ethic, and tenacity. It’s something that I want us to remember," he said in the clip. 

Sanders also confirmed Ponder’s death last Sunday with a social media post. 

"God please comfort the Ponder family, friends and loved ones," Sanders wrote on social media. "Dom was one of my favorites! He was Loved, Respected & a Born Leader. Let’s pray for all that knew him & had the opportunity to be in his presence. Lord you’re receiving a good 1. Comfort us Lord Comfort us."

"President Trump put diplomacy first, both last year and this year. It was clear the Iranians were not negotiating in good faith, had no intention of backing away from its nuclear intentions," he claimed. "We are trying to protect it with a massive phalanx and shield of ballistic missiles that they were quadrupling their production of on a month-by-month basis, and finally President Trump said enough is enough."

The song became one of the most recognizable anti-Vietnam War protest hits. In 1969, Country Joe led "The Fish Cheer" to nearly 500,000 people at the Woodstock music festival before playing the tune.

Speaking of the signature song, he told the New York Times in 2017 that he "was inspired to write a song about how soldiers have no choice in the matter, but to follow orders, but with the irreverence of rock ‘n’ roll. It was essentially punk rock before punk existed."

While the group disbanded in 1970, Country Joe continued his activism work with groups including Vietnam Veterans Against War and Swords to Plowshares, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to "helping veterans as they navigate the challenges of post-military life so that they can achieve health, housing, wellness, and stability."

  

 

Fresh satellite images give a rare aerial view of the damage across Iran after U.S.-Israeli strikes and what Tehran’s retaliation left behind across the region.

Planet Labs satellite imagery captured burning ships and damaged facilities at the Konarak base in southern Iran, as well as significant destruction at Iran’s naval headquarters in Bandar Abbas on the Persian Gulf, reflecting the scale of the strikes on military infrastructure.

WATCH SHIPPING THROUGH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ GRIND TO A HALT AMID IRAN CONFLICT

Imagery from Vantor shows damage to facilities and vessels located in Iran's Bushehr port in the Persian Gulf.

In addition to naval assets, satellite photos show a bunker at Bushehr air base hit by a strike, leaving a large crater and destroying several nearby small buildings.

More strikes targeted the Choqa Balk drone facility in western Iran.

Radar systems at the Zahedan air base in eastern Iran — near the country’s borders with Pakistan and Afghanistan — were also struck.

The two facilities are about 800 to 900 miles apart, underscoring the broad reach of the coordinated strikes.

Satellite imagery also reveals damage to aircraft on the tarmac at Shiraz air base, including scorch marks and debris around several parking areas.

Satellite imagery from Planet Labs shows thick smoke plumes rising above Tehran, signaling explosions and fires inside the Iranian capital.

The smoke underscores how the conflict has moved beyond isolated military sites and into the heart of Iran’s political center.

Iran has since responded with missile and drone strikes of its own, expanding the conflict across the region. 

Satellite images reveal damage to the port city of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. Sharjah is the third most populous after Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

The Jebel Ali Port, the region’s largest maritime hub, was also targeted, underscoring how the retaliation extended beyond military sites to key infrastructure.

The new satellite imagery comes on the heels of U.S.-Israeli strikes that killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and several top members of the regime, triggering a succession crisis.

President Donald Trump warned on Sunday that Iran’s new leader is "not going to last long" without U.S. approval as Operation Epic Fury marches into a third week.

The NYPD is asking residents to avoid the area of East End Avenue between 81st Street and 82nd Street in Manhattan due to ongoing police activity.

"Due to ongoing police activity, please avoid the area of East End Avenue between 81st Street and 82nd Street in Manhattan," the NYPD wrote on X on Sunday.

According to two NYPD sources, the activity is connected to the investigation into two devices that were thrown during dueling protests outside Gracie Mansion.

The activity follows hours after New York City officials confirmed that a device ignited and thrown during protests near Gracie Mansion on Saturday was an improvised explosive device (IED) capable of causing "serious injury or death."

The NYPD has cordoned off a tony Manhattan block near the mayor's residence amid a continuing probe into a potential terror plot involving improvised, ISIS-style bombs.

According to two NYPD sources, the activity is connected to the investigation into two devices that were recovered during dueling protests outside Gracie Mansion on Saturday.

NYPD CONFIRMS OBJECT THROWN AT PROTESTS NEAR GRACIE MANSION IN MANHATTAN WAS AN IED

Earlier Sunday, city officials confirmed that one of the devices was an improvised explosive device (IED) and was capable of causing "serious injury or death." Investigators are continuing to analyze a second device recovered at the scene.

Three federal law enforcement sources told Fox News that one suspect allegedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" before throwing the IED into the crowd.

Police arrested Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi at the scene.

The devices thrown near Gracie Mansion were allegedly charged with TATP (triacetone triperoxide), retired NYPD inspector Fox News contributor Paul Mauro told Fox News Digital, citing multiple sources.

"[TATP] is a favorite of real terrorists, and not something two street-level knuckleheads would likely produce," Mauro said. "This was no M-80 wrapped in nails and tape. It’s very hard to detect, very powerful, and extremely unstable."

The NYPD Bomb Squad X-rayed the devices and rendered them safe. They are now being transported to Quantico for further analysis, Mauro said. 

He also noted that a vehicle registered to a relative of one of the suspects was located in the Upper East Side area.

The incident unfolded Saturday morning near East End Avenue and East 87th Street, steps from Gracie Mansion, the official residence of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Mamdani condemned both the protest and the violence in a statement posted Sunday.

"Such hate has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are," Mamdani wrote. "What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are."

Fox News' CB Cotton and Bill Melugin contributed to this report.

The NYPD announced Sunday that a third suspicious device has been recovered as part of an ongoing investigation into an improvised explosive device (IED) thrown during dueling protests outside Gracie Mansion a day earlier.

Police said officers identified a suspicious device inside a vehicle on East End Avenue between 81st and 82nd streets and temporarily evacuated nearby buildings while the Bomb Squad assessed the threat.

"The NYPD has safely removed the suspicious device from the area for further testing, and those who were evacuated are now allowed to return to their residences. The area remains closed to vehicular traffic," the NYPD wrote on X.

As of Sunday evening, only one of the devices has been confirmed as an IED, a federal source told Fox News.

Approximately 30 minutes later, authorities say an 18-year-old counter-protester ignited and threw a device toward the protest area. 

Police say the 18-year-old then retrieved a second device from a 19-year-old, lit it, and attempted to flee. Both suspects — Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi — were taken into custody.

"Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion rooted in bigotry and racism. Such hate has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are," Mamdani said.

Lang claims the bombs were thrown at him and his supporters by pro-Islam protesters.

"I’m f---ing highly pissed right now. Oh my God."

As he processed the information, Chase couldn’t believe Crosby is yet another high-end pass rusher being added to an already stacked AFC North, which has Cleveland Browns’ Myles Garrett, who rewrote the single-season sack record in 2025, and Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro T.J. Watt, among others. 

"How do we let this n---- go to the f---ing division bro?" Chase questioned. "… Oh my god."

RAIDERS TRADE MAXX CROSBY TO THE RAVENS FOR TWO FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICKS

The Raiders received two first-round picks from the Ravens, including their No. 14 overall selection in next month’s NFL Draft, to land the 28-year-old Crosby. Baltimore, with new defensive-minded head coach Jesse Minter, are not playing around about bolstering the defense, and they finally got the Eastern Michigan product out of Las Vegas after seven seasons. 

But Chase knows that Crosby could be affecting his workload twice a year, as the Bengals haven’t had the most offensive lines in recent seasons. 

Since entering the NFL in 2020 as the first overall pick, Burrow has been sacked 213 times, the fourth-most among active quarterbacks in that timeframe. Justin Herbert, Russell Wilson, and Baker Mayfield have been sacked more. 

The Bengals certainly need to keep addressing their O-line heading into 2026, and they have around $47 million to currently work with during the legal tampering period, which begins on Monday. Perhaps they will look to shore up that spot, or look in the NFL Draft to make sure Burrow is covered on all ends. 

Meanwhile, the Bengals are likely moving on from their top pass rusher, as they didn’t use the franchise tag on Trey Hendrickson, who is expected to get a large deal in free agency – one he was hoping the Bengals would give him last offseason. Instead, he played on a one-year deal, and he is an unrestricted free agent this time around. 

Since losing in the AFC Championship Game in 2022, which came one season after falling to the Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl, the Bengals haven’t since the success they were used to. That partially has to do with serious injuries to Burrow in 2023 and this past season, where the team finished 6-11 as the signal caller played only eight games. 

The Bengals still have the offensive firepower to go along with Burrow and Chase, as fellow receiver Tee Higgins re-signed to an extension last offseason, and running back Chase Brown has been quite the addition since being drafted in the fifth round in 2023. He rushed for 1,019 yards and caught 69 passes for 437 yards in 2025. 

But it’s always tough going against AFC North defenses six times a year, and the Ravens will be more formidable with Crosby on their side. 

Chase clearly knows it.

Iran defies Trump, elevates Khamenei's son Mojtaba as successor

‘Country’ Joe McDonald, ‘60s rock star, proud protest counterculture icon, dies at 84

The Trump administration has turned Venezuela into a significant U.S. oil supplier, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said Sunday, arguing the shift will help offset Middle East disruptions and ease pressure from the global shipping crisis.

"[Venezuela] was a sanctioned adversary, and now they're a strategic ally with the largest reserves with no threat of the chokehold like we have in the Strait of Hormuz," Burgum told "The Sunday Briefing."

"Venezuelan oil can flow to America freely and is starting to flow, will continue to flow, and these are the kinds of things that are going to bring gas prices down in America, because President Trump understands that energy security means national security and energy security also means affordability for Americans," he said. 

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION EASES SANCTIONS ON VENEZUELAN OIL INDUSTRY AFTER MADURO’S CAPTURE

Burgum’s comments align with recent moves to expanding Venezuelan crude exports to the United States, with Venezuela’s state oil company Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. signing new contracts last week to supply crude oil and refined products to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries.

The agreements are part of a broader effort to re-establish commercial ties and bring Venezuelan oil back into major U.S. supply chains.

MIKE PENCE PRAISES TRUMP FOR ‘DECISIVE LEADERSHIP’ ON IRAN AFTER BIDEN ‘SQUANDERED’ US DETERRENCE

At the same time, Burgum said rising prices will trigger a domestic response.

"When you see prices start moving up like this, [the] American private sector is very responsive and there's going to be more active drilling in America right now in response to prices going up," he said.

"There's a price signal. But again, remember, under Biden, there were 67 days in a row where prices were over $100. There's never been a day so far under President Trump where they've gone above $100," he said. "And this is a temporary issue. This is not about lack of oil in the world. This is about a transit issue."

New York City officials have confirmed that a device ignited and thrown during protests near Gracie Mansion on Saturday was an improvised explosive device (IED) capable of causing "serious injury or death."

In a statement posted to X on Sunday, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the department’s Bomb Squad determined the device was neither a hoax nor a smoke bomb.

"The NYPD Bomb Squad has conducted a preliminary analysis of a device that was ignited and deployed at a protest yesterday and has determined that it is not a hoax device or a smoke bomb," Tisch wrote. "It is, in fact, an improvised explosive device that could have caused serious injury or death."

Authorities are continuing to analyze a second device recovered at the scene.

WHO IS BRIAN COLE, THE DC PIPE BOMB SUSPECT?

Police arrested Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi at the scene. Both remain in custody.

Three federal law enforcement sources told Fox News that the two suspects are believed to be U.S. citizens.

The NYPD is working alongside the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the FBI through the Joint Terrorism Task Force.

"I want to again thank the brave members of the NYPD who ran towards the danger without hesitation and quickly apprehended the suspects," Tisch added.

The incident unfolded during dueling demonstrations Saturday morning near East End Avenue and East 87th Street, just steps from Gracie Mansion, the official residence of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

One rally was organized by right-wing activist Jake Lang to oppose public Muslim prayer. Counter-protesters also gathered at the scene. 

Though police initially kept the groups separated, tensions escalated after pepper spray was deployed during a confrontation.

Approximately 30 minutes later, authorities say an 18-year-old counter-protester ignited and threw a device toward the protest area. Witnesses reported seeing flames and smoke before it extinguished itself near responding officers.

Police say the 18-year-old then retrieved a second device from a 19-year-old, lit it, and attempted to flee. 

Both suspects – identified as Balat and Kayumi – were taken into custody.

Three additional arrests were made on charges including disorderly conduct and obstructing traffic.

Bomb squad technicians on Saturday described the devices as jars wrapped in black tape, slightly smaller than a football. 

X-rays revealed nuts, bolts and screws inside – materials commonly used as improvised shrapnel – along with a hobby fuse that could be lit.

"Sweet potatoes are essential for good night vision and reducing the risk of dry eyes," Manaker said.

Vitamin A helps maintain the health of the cornea, the clear outer layer of the eye, and plays a key role in supporting normal vision, she added.

Spinach may also play a role in supporting long-term eye health, Manaker explained.

"This leafy green is a powerhouse of lutein and zeaxanthin, which protect your eyes from harmful light and reduce the risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration," she said. "It’s also a great source of vitamin C."

Spinach can be added to smoothies, mixed into scrambled eggs, tossed into salads or lightly sautéed as a side dish to help increase intake of these nutrients.

"I don’t want people to have to go back in five years and have to do the same thing again or worse let them have a nuclear weapon," the president continued.

Trump’s comments come after Iranian state media reported that a majority consensus had been reached on a new supreme leader following the Feb. 28 assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Nearly two weeks after Mexican forces killed notorious cartel boss Ruben "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes, questions remain about how the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) will respond and whether the blow will meaningfully disrupt the flow of fentanyl into the United States.

Carlos De La Cruz, a 20-year U.S. Air Force veteran who deployed after 9/11 and later served along the southern border, told Fox News the cartel leader’s death marked a major victory, but warned Americans should not mistake it for the end of the fight.

"When I say that this is a significant win, I mean it," De La Cruz said. "El Mencho ran one of the most violent cartels on the planet."

Oseguera, who rose to prominence in the post–El Chapo era, oversaw CJNG’s aggressive expansion across Mexico and into key trafficking corridors feeding U.S. drug markets. Under his leadership, the cartel became a central architect of fentanyl and methamphetamine trafficking and drew a $15 million U.S. reward for information leading to his capture.

NARCOTICS EXPERT REVEALS SLAIN DRUG KINGPIN EL MENCHO'S DEADLY IMPACT ON AMERICANS

But De La Cruz cautioned that removing a cartel kingpin does not dismantle the organization.

"Cartels don’t collapse when you just cut the head off — they fracture," he said. "And part of that fracture is going to see a lot of short-term violence while all these factions fight over territory."

Following Oseguera’s killing on Feb. 22, the U.S. State Department issued travel alerts in multiple Mexican states, citing road blockages and criminal activity tied to security operations, underscoring concerns about instability in the aftermath.

Drawing on his military background studying enemy command structures, De La Cruz described the cartel fight as a long-term campaign requiring sustained pressure.

"You don’t win a war with just one airstrike," he said. "The goal is dismantling the networks and going after their financing."

De La Cruz, who is running for Congress and is the brother of Texas Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz, argued that CJNG’s Foreign Terrorist Organization designation gives U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies expanded tools to target cartel infrastructure and financial pipelines.

KAROLINE LEAVITT WARNS CARTELS TO 'NOT LAY A FINGER' ON AMERICANS OR PAY 'SEVERE CONSEQUENCES'

But he stressed that the fentanyl crisis should be viewed as a domestic security emergency, not a distant foreign problem.

"For decades, they were using their territories as launching pads to pump chemical weapons into America — because that’s exactly what fentanyl is," he said.

De La Cruz, who said he worked side by side with Customs agents while deployed to the border, warned that cartel networks are highly adaptive and that any gains could be temporary without sustained follow-through.

"These networks, they’re going to adjust. They’re going to adapt and they’re going to adapt quickly," he said. "We have to continue to go after the money launderers, especially on our side of the border, because that’s the full fight."

While Oseguera’s death removes one of the most dominant figures in Mexico’s criminal underworld, De La Cruz said the mission is personal.

"I took an oath to defend this country," he said. "And I intend to stand by that oath."

The new battleground in the Gulf isn’t just on the water — it’s in the insurance market, where war-risk coverage can determine which oil tankers sail and which stay put.

With the conflict driving gasoline prices higher, the White House is weighing steps to keep oil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz and to keep prices from climbing further.

The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage between Iran and Oman, carries roughly 20 million barrels of oil a day and about one-fifth of global supply of liquefied natural gas. When conflict flares in the region, even the threat of disruption can rattle markets because so much of the world’s energy moves through that single corridor.

WATCH SHIPPING THROUGH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ GRIND TO A HALT AMID IRAN CONFLICT

And with so much at stake, the White House is turning to an unlikely tool: insurance.

President Donald Trump said the U.S. could use a government-backed insurance program to lower war-risk premiums for vessels in the region. Under a backstop, the government would absorb part of any major losses, easing pressure on private insurers and shipowners.

Because when danger rises, the bill rises.

Insurers charge more to cover ships and cargo, shippers add "war-risk" surcharges and some vessels slow down, detour or pause altogether. Those delays can tighten supply and push crude prices higher even if oil production hasn’t changed.

Against that backdrop, the latest disruption, sparked by U.S.-Israeli strikes starting on Feb. 27 and retaliatory Iranian drone and missile attacks across the region, is forcing shippers and insurers to rethink whether it’s safe to transit the waterway.

Some global insurers are already tightening terms. Maritime insurance titans Gard, Skuld, NorthStandard, the London P&I Club and the American Club, have already canceled war-risk coverage, leaving voyages through Iranian and nearby waters without insurance.

Not all coverage is disappearing though. Lloyd’s of London, an insurance marketplace that brings together multiple insurers to cover large, high-risk voyages, said its vessels operating in the Gulf region have a combined hull value exceeding $25 billion. It added that coverage is still in place.

A Lloyd’s spokesperson told the market is in talks with U.S. officials about possible options. Separately, global insurance broker Marsh said it met with Trump administration representatives to discuss the idea.

Matt Smith, an analyst at Kpler, said coverage is a baseline requirement for ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, but it doesn’t eliminate the risk. 

"It’s essential for all of these tankers to have insurance. You simply cannot pass through the Strait of Hormuz if you don’t have the insurance, given the high possibility of getting struck by a missile," Smith told Fox News Digital.

"But even with that insurance in place, it’s little comfort for those on the ship if there’s a chance the vessel is going to be attacked," he added.

With that calculus in mind, Maersk, widely regarded as a bellwether for global ocean freight, said it will suspend all vessel crossings through the Strait of Hormuz until further notice and warned service to Arabian Gulf ports could be delayed.

When big shippers hit the brakes, the ripple effects can be felt fast. If oil becomes more expensive or slower to reach buyers, those increases can move through the supply chain and show up for Americans at the pump.

How much Americans feel at the pump will depend on how long the disruption lasts and whether shipping and insurance markets stabilize. Until then, the world’s most important energy chokepoint is likely to keep traders and drivers on edge.

Ukrainian company Sky Fall’s Shrike Fiber drone reportedly took first place in the Pentagon’s Drone Dominance selection in partnership with U.K.-based Skycutter, Defender Media reported March 7.

As if the ugliness of the 120 minutes wasn't enough there was disgrace as Rangers and Celtic fans invaded the pitch at Ibrox, writes Tom English.

Gu recalled attending the parade with her family when she was younger and the times her mother and grandmother would cook in the kitchen.

The three-time gold medalist told the station she was focusing on making a bigger impact around the world.

"My biggest goal has always been making the greatest amount of positive impact on the global stage that I possibly can," she said. "At this moment in time, that takes the form of sport, fashion and education."

Gu came under fire during the Olympics, receiving criticism for bucking the chance of competing for Team USA and representing the nation she was born in.

She reflected on the decision last week.

"I gave my first speech on women in sports and title IX when I was 11 years old. I talked about being the only girl on my ski team, and, despite attending an all-girls’ school from Monday through Friday, becoming best friends with my teammates on the weekends through the common language of sport," Gu wrote on Instagram.

Gu went on to express gratitude for the one season in which she did compete for the U.S.

EILEEN GU REFLECTS ON DECISION TO LEAVE TEAM USA FOR CHINA: 'A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND'

"When I was 15, I announced my decision to compete for China. At the time, I had spent one season on the US team, and had been lucky enough to meet my heroes in person. I am forever grateful for that season, and continue to maintain a close relationship with the team. I had spent every summer in China since I was 8 setting up summer camps on trampoline and dry slope for kids and adults, ranging from 7 to 47 years old, so I knew the industry was tiny. I felt like I knew everyone," she added. 

"Skiing for Team China meant the opportunity to uplift others through the universal culture of sport, and to introduce freeskiing to hundreds of millions of people who had never heard of it, especially with the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics around the corner."

Gu's statement concluded by acknowledging that certain people "don't understand" her decision to compete for China over the U.S., while insisting the choice maximized the impact she would have. 

"I can look back now, at 22, and tell 12 year old Eileen that there are now terrain parks full of little girls, who will never doubt their place in the sport. I can tell 15 year old me that there are now millions of girls who have started skiing since then, in China and worldwide," Gu wrote.

"A lot of people won’t understand or believe that I made a decision to create the greatest amount of positive impact on the world stage that I could, at this age, given my interests and passions. Three golds and six medals later, I can confidently say what was once a dream is now a reality."

South Florida university probes racist group chat tied to a local GOP official

Smart glasses promise a future where technology blends into everyday life. You can ask a question, snap a quick video or identify what you are looking at in seconds. It sounds convenient. However, a new investigation suggests the experience may come with a privacy tradeoff many users never expected.

According to an investigation by Swedish newspapers Svenska Dagbladet and Göteborgs-Posten, contractors reviewing AI data in Nairobi, Kenya, may have seen highly personal footage captured by Meta's AI-powered smart glasses. In some cases, the videos reportedly showed bathroom visits, sexual activity and other intimate moments.

The allegations have already sparked legal action and renewed debate about how AI systems are trained.

META UNVEILS NEW AR GLASSES WITH HEART RATE MONITORING

The investigation focused on people who work as AI annotators. These workers review images, video or audio so artificial intelligence systems can better understand what they are processing. In simple terms, they help train the AI. Workers interviewed for the report said they sometimes review video captured by Meta's smart glasses. According to the investigation, the footage can include extremely personal scenes recorded in everyday environments. One annotator told reporters they see everything from living rooms to naked bodies. Another worker said faces are supposed to be blurred automatically in the footage. However, the blurring reportedly fails at times, leaving some identities visible. In some clips, workers also said they could see credit cards or other sensitive details.

Many people assume AI systems learn entirely on their own. In reality, human reviewers often play a major role in training them. AI annotators help label what appears in images, identify spoken words and verify whether an AI response is correct. Without that human input, the system struggles to improve. Meta's smart glasses include an AI assistant that answers questions about what a user is seeing. For example, a wearer might ask the glasses to identify a landmark or explain what an object is. To make those answers accurate, the system sometimes relies on training data reviewed by humans.

Meta says media captured by its smart glasses remains on the user's device unless the user chooses to share it.

A Meta spokesperson provided the following statement to CyberGuy:

"Ray-Ban Meta glasses help you use AI, hands free, to answer questions about the world around you. Unless users choose to share media they've captured with Meta or others, that media stays on the user's device. When people share content with Meta AI, we sometimes use contractors to review this data for the purpose of improving people's experience, as many other companies do. We take steps to filter this data to protect people's privacy and to help prevent identifying information from being reviewed."

Ray-Ban Meta glasses include an LED indicator light that activates whenever photos or videos are recorded, helping signal to people nearby that content is being captured. The company's terms of service also state that users are responsible for following applicable laws and using the glasses in a safe and respectful manner. That includes avoiding activities such as harassment, infringing on privacy rights or recording sensitive information.

Meta has also been in contact with Sama, a company that provides AI data annotation services. According to information shared by Meta, Sama said it is not aware of workflows where sexual or objectionable content is reviewed or where faces or sensitive details remain consistently unblurred. Meta is continuing to investigate the matter.

The controversy arises as Meta has expanded the capabilities of its AI glasses. The glasses, created with eyewear giant EssilorLuxottica, include a camera and an AI assistant that responds to voice questions. Sales have surged. The company reportedly sold more than 7 million pairs in 2025, a dramatic increase compared with earlier years. At the same time, Meta updated its privacy policies. One change keeps the AI camera features active unless users turn off the Hey Meta voice command. Another removes the ability to opt out of storing voice recordings in the cloud. For privacy advocates, those changes make the investigation more troubling.

FACIAL RECOGNITION GLASSES TURN EVERYDAY LIFE INTO CREEPY PRIVACY NIGHTMARE

If you use smart glasses or similar wearable technology, the report highlights an important reality. AI devices often collect more information than people realize. When people share content with AI systems, human reviewers may analyze that material to help improve the technology. That means the footage captured by your device may be seen by someone else during the training process. Wearable cameras also record everyday life, which makes it easy for private or sensitive moments to be captured unintentionally. Even when companies use tools to blur faces or hide identifying details, those systems do not always work perfectly. As a result, personal information can sometimes still appear in the footage. Privacy policies also evolve as companies roll out new AI features. Staying aware of those updates can help you decide how comfortable you are with the technology you are using.

Smart glasses are quickly moving from novelty to everyday gadget. The idea of having AI help you understand the world around you is undeniably appealing. However, the same technology that makes these devices powerful also raises complicated privacy questions. Cameras that are always within reach, AI systems that learn from real-world footage and human reviewers who help train those systems create a chain of data that many users rarely think about. As smart wearables become more common, transparency about how that data is used will matter more than ever.

So here is the bigger question. Would you feel comfortable wearing AI glasses if someone halfway around the world might review the footage your device captures? Let us know by writing to us at Cyberguy.com

Port Vale are bottom of League One, but they have reached the FA Cup quarter-finals for only the second time in their history.

"This is insane rhetoric, insane behavior from people who don’t give a damn. Donald Trump has never given a damn about Iranian lives," Hasan continued. "I see people in the diaspora cheering on this war, and I feel bad for them because Donald Trump screws over everyone, and he’s going to screw over the Iranian people as well. He’s a guy who has deported Iranians back to that government to be tortured or oppressed. He doesn’t care about the Iranian people."

After they both agreed that this war is wildly less popular than the Iraq war was at the same stage, Hasan said he keeps remembering a famous British "Mitchell and Webb" comedy skit where two Nazi SS officers notice their caps have Death's Head skull-and-crossbones insignia on them and ask themselves, "Are we the baddies?"

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and did not receive immediate reply.

A suburban New Jersey school district is considering renaming one of its elementary schools after President Donald Trump, a proposal that has sparked debate among board members and residents.

The idea was introduced by Robert Scales, a member of the Colts Neck Township Board of Education in Monmouth County, who asked the school board to establish an exploratory committee to examine what a name change would entail, NJ.com reported.

The committee, he said, would review potential costs and determine "what lines, if any, could be crossed by naming a school after a president."

Under the proposal, Trump’s name would replace that of Conover Road Primary School, which serves students in pre-kindergarten through second grade.

The district also has a separate building with a similar name, Conover Road Elementary School, for grades three through five.

"What person is doing things that protects our school?" Scales said in arguing that Trump deserves the recognition. 

He suggested the effort could coincide with the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in July.

The proposal surfaced during the board’s March 4 meeting, but the nine-member board did not immediately vote on creating the committee.

Some board members voiced enthusiasm for the possibility of renaming, but not all residents supported it.

"I love the idea," school board member Vincent Rugnetta said, according to NJ.com. He also suggested renaming the neighboring elementary school after Joshua Huddy, a Revolutionary War figure with local ties.

The local outlet reported that Colts Neck voters overwhelmingly supported Trump in the 2024 presidential election, backing him with 69% of the vote compared to 29% for former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Board President Angelique Volpe said she and her husband, fellow board member Kevin Walsh, have reached out to Trump about visiting the district. Walsh has served as director of security for the Trump Organization in New York for the past five years, according to his LinkedIn profile.

"Just to be completely transparent, I’ve — me and Kevin — have reached out to the president and would love to have him visit our district as well," Volpe said during the meeting.

JONATHAN TURLEY: TRUMP’S KENNEDY CENTER NAME CHANGE WILL KEEP LAWYERS BUSY FOR YEARS

Colts Neck resident Matthew Jenkins disagreed with the idea, writing in an Instagram post, "School names are supposed to reflect the virtues we hope to instill in our children: integrity, humility, service, respect for the law, and a commitment to community over self." 

"Donald Trump does not embody those values. He represents division over unity, grievance, overgrowth, personal loyalty over public responsibility," Jenkins said.

Jenkins, a Democrat, unsuccessfully ran for Congress in New Jersey’s 4th District in 2024, according to NJ.com.

A former school board member also urged the board to reject the idea, citing safety concerns.

"Naming a school after a current public figure may not only be divisive, but it also poses safety concerns for our students," said one parent in the district.

Superintendent MaryJane Garibay did not publicly state whether she supports the name change or the establishment of the exploratory committee. She noted that Conover Road Primary School is named after a local landowner whose estate benefited the district.

The local outlet said district policy from 2009 outlines the process required to rename a school and states that facility names must be "free from biases, prejudices, or political, and/or religious connotations" and should reflect the community’s location and heritage.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) on Sunday issued a safety warning to civilians in Iran, accusing the regime of launching military operations from densely populated areas and putting civilian lives at risk.

CENTCOM said Iranian forces are using "heavily populated" cities, including Dezful, Isfahan and Shiraz, to launch one-way attack drones and ballistic missiles. U.S. forces urged civilians in Iran to remain at home, warning that locations used for military purposes could lose protected status under international law and become legitimate targets.

"Iran’s terrorist regime is blatantly disregarding civilian lives by attacking Gulf partners while compromising the safety of their own people," Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM, said in a statement.

CENTCOM said U.S. forces take "every feasible precaution" to minimize civilian harm but cannot guarantee safety near facilities used by the Iranian regime for military purposes.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the recent spike in oil prices tied to the escalating Iran conflict will be short-lived, arguing President Donald Trump’s energy dominance strategy will stabilize markets and ease pressure on American consumers.

"This is a short-term disruption for the long-term gain of taking out the rogue Iranian terrorist regime and finally ending their restriction of the free flow of energy in the Middle East and in the Strait of Hormuz," Leavitt told "Sunday Morning Futures."

Leavitt said the administration is taking immediate steps to keep global energy supplies moving despite the conflict. She noted that the president has announced political risk insurance for cargo vessels and oil tankers navigating the Strait of Hormuz, a key chokepoint for approximately 20% of global oil shipments.

OPERATION EPIC FURY DESTROYS IRAN'S NAVY AND CUTS MISSILE ATTACKS BY 90% IN ONGOING CAMPAIGN

She added that the U.S. Navy is prepared to escort tankers if necessary to ensure oil continues flowing through the region. The administration is also working to increase supply elsewhere, including by tapping into expanded access to Venezuelan oil markets following the collapse of the Maduro regime.

"Look at the success. We are working in a cooperative manner with the interim authorities to bring that oil into the market as expeditiously as possible," Leavitt said.

"Again, this is a short-term disruption. We're seeing a slight increase in oil and gas prices, but ultimately taking out the rogue Iranian regime is going to be a good thing for the oil industry, and those prices are going to come back down just like they have over the course of the past year because of President Trump's American energy dominance agenda."

Gas prices climbed higher late last week as the conflict with Iran continued to roil global energy markets, pushing crude oil sharply upward and raising concerns about fuel supplies.

U.S. crude, for instance, settled at $90.90 per barrel Friday, a 12.2% jump from the previous day.

The national average price for regular gasoline rose to $3.32 per gallon Friday, up from $3.25 Thursday and $2.98 a week prior, according to AAA.

International Women’s Day is a celebration and a call to action. Here are things to know

MEXICO CITY: Mexican drug cartels are increasingly calculated in their targeting decisions, often avoiding deliberately attacking American tourists and citizens out of concern it could prompt intensified U.S. retaliation, according to experts.

Following last month's killing of Ruben "Nemesio" Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho," the powerful leader of the Mexican Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt joined "Fox & Friends" and had a warning for the drug gangs: "The Mexican drug cartels know not to lay a finger on a single American, or they will pay severe consequences under this president."

Analysts say actions by President Donald Trump — including the designation of cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and high-profile operations abroad such as the capture of Nicolás Maduro and the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei in Iran — have reinforced cartel perceptions of heightened risk. 

TRUMP’S ‘TOTAL ELIMINATION’ STRATEGY PAVED WAY FOR FALL OF CARTEL KINGPIN ‘EL MENCHO’

Mexican drug cartels have long operated with a primary objective: protect revenue streams and avoid actions that could trigger an overwhelming government response. Security analysts and former U.S. officials say that calculus often includes avoiding the deliberate targeting of American tourists and citizens inside Mexico.

"Of course, drug cartels are afraid of President Trump since he declared them terrorist organizations. That may be one of the reasons why they don't attack American citizens or tourists," cartel expert and activist Elena Chávez told Fox News Digital.

She said the cartels "modernized and are well-informed about what is happening, especially because they know there are bounties on their heads. That's why they fear the United States, even more so since Trump became president and declared the cartels terrorist organizations. Of course, they monitor all of this and have people who keep the leaders informed about how things are moving. The price on 'El Mencho's' head in the United States was very high."

Adding to the pressure, Trump spoke Saturday at the newly minted Shield of the Americas Summit in Florida — a coalition of 12 Latin American and Caribbean nations — coming together to take on the cartels, among other policies. 

"We have to knock the hell out of them because they're getting worse. They're taking over their country. The cartels are running Mexico. We can't have that. Too close to us," Trump warned.

"Right now, there must be more than a million Americans coming to Mexico to spend their vacations in their homes. The drug cartels don't mess with them or their homes. They know there's no way to avoid a reaction from the United States if they mess with its citizens. There's an unwritten rule that says you shouldn't mess with American citizens; if you do, you'll suffer retaliation from the United States. And even more so now with the Trump administration" Samuel González, national security expert and former prosecutor of the specialized unit on organized crime, told Fox News Digital.

TRUMP DISCUSSES EXPANSION OF DRUG CARTEL CRACKDOWN, ISSUES GRIM WARNING TO IRAN

While high-profile killings of Americans in Mexico have occurred, experts describe them as isolated and liabilities to cartel interests rather than part of a strategic campaign.

"There are several precedents that demonstrate why the cartels are particularly careful not to touch American citizens. One of the most important was the Camarena case: the kidnapping, torture, and murder of DEA agent Enrique ‘Kiki’ Camarena in 1985 in Mexico, perpetrated by leaders of the Guadalajara Cartel (Rafael Caro Quintero, Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, and Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo) in retaliation for the destruction of ‘El Búfalo’ marijuana ranch.

"This crime marked a turning point in the anti-drug relationship between Mexico and the U.S., prompting the DEA's ‘Operation Leyenda’ to capture those responsible and revealing the complicity between drug traffickers and high-ranking Mexican officials."

He added, "Another case is that of Agent Zapata. On Feb. 15, 2011, gunmen from ‘Los Zetas’ cartel killed Special Agent Jaime Zapata of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE/HSI) and shot Agent Victor Avila on a highway in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. The murder triggered intense pressure from the United States on Mexico to combat the cartels, resulting in the capture of several implicated Los Zetas members, including Julián Zapata Espinoza, alias ‘El Piolín.’

"All these precedents are examples of why the cartels learned that it is not in their best interest to attack American citizens."

TROOPS REINFORCE PUERTO VALLARTA AS UNREST SHOWS SIGNS OF EASING FOLLOWING EL MENCHO’S DEATH

Security experts say cartels closely monitor political rhetoric in Washington, particularly statements suggesting unilateral U.S. military action or expanded cross-border operations. Public debate over labeling cartels as terrorist groups has resurfaced in recent years, with some lawmakers arguing it would provide additional tools to disrupt financing and logistics networks.

According to former federal officials, cartels’ avoidance of deliberately targeting Americans is rooted less in ideology and more in risk management. High-profile attacks on U.S. citizens can generate intense media coverage, diplomatic strain and increased enforcement operations that disrupt trafficking routes.

Director General of the National Citizen Observatory, Francisco Rivas, told Fox News Digital: "Drug traffickers are much more afraid of attacking a foreigner than a Mexican because crimes against foreigners are prosecuted much more severely by the Mexican authorities. The greater media pressure when the victim is a foreigner creates more incentive for the police and prosecutors to investigate a kidnapping, extortion, disappearance or homicide."

"In Mexico, more than 90% of intentional homicides and disappearances are related to people who had specific contact with the cartels, primarily for business reasons. The problems tourists experience in Mexico are the same as they might encounter in Miami, London, Rome or Paris: robberies, fraud and even some extortion, but these are proportionally marginal. Most crimes suffered in Mexico are suffered by Mexicans, and most violent crimes involve Mexican victims linked to cartels," he said.

While millions of Americans travel to Mexico each year without incident, law enforcement officials emphasize that criminal violence remains widespread in regions where cartels operate.

Authorities on both sides of the border maintain that cartel decision-making is driven by financial incentives and survival calculations. Actions perceived as likely to trigger direct U.S. retaliation are widely viewed by analysts as counterproductive to those interests.

The success of Balendra Shah, known as Balen, reflects the hope he can address economic grievances behind recent Gen-Z protests.

President Donald Trump is vowing to reject signing any new bills into law until the SAVE America Act is passed by the Senate, a tall order with just 53 Republicans seated and the 60-vote filibuster threshold a high hurdle.

"Great Job by hard working Scott Pressler on Fox & Friends talking about using the Filibuster, or Talking Filibuster, in order to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, an 88% issue with ALL VOTERS," Trump wrote Sunday morning on Truth Social. "It must be done immediately."

"It supersedes everything else," Trump added. "MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE."

The vow to halt all new law signings is a new one coming from the White House and notable because of the Senate hesitation to follow the urgings of Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, to force the Senate to bring the bill forward through the talking filibuster.

DAVID MARCUS: PASSING THE SAVE AMERICA ACT TO SAVE CORNYN IS A FAIR DEAL

"I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed," Trump's post continued, "AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION - GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY - ILLNESS, DISABILITY, TRAVEL: NO MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS: NO TRANSGENDER MUTILIZATION FOR CHILDREN! DO NOT FAIL!!!"

While Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has publicly acknowledged a willingness to bring a vote on the SAVE America Act before the upper chamber, there is hesitation within the Republican Party about forcing the talking filibuster under the current Senate rules.

The talking filibuster would force Democrats to speak on the Senate floor to argue against a voter identification position widely supported by Americans, as Trump noted, but it would also force Republicans to sit in attendance with a quorum. That has been rebuked by longtime Senate GOP veterans as something that would "waste time."

FETTERMAN EXPECTS DHS SHUTDOWN AMID PARTISAN FUNDING FEUD, BREAKS WITH DEMOCRATS ON VOTER ID

Former Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has been publicly opposed to forcing a talking filibuster because of the time constraints it would force on the Senate GOP, and he remains one of the few Senate Republicans not signing on to support the SAVE America Act.

Another development that clouds the SAVE America Act filibuster is the recent appointment of Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., to serve as the next Department of Homeland Security secretary, perhaps resigning from the Senate by the end of March.

Fox News Digital reached out to Mullin's office for comment. McConnell's office declined to comment on Trump's Truth Social vow to block all new law signings amid the standoff on the DHS funding that has the government in a partial shutdown and the Senate sitting on the House-passed SAVE America Act.

GOP REACHES KEY 50-VOTE THRESHOLD FOR TRUMP-BACKED VOTER ID BILL AS SENATE FIGHT LOOMS

"We're going to have a vote on this, but in terms of what the president is willing to sign, Maria, we need to get the Department of Homeland Security funded," Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, R-Wyo., told Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures."

"The Democrats have blocked that right now. And the greatest threat to the American people today is terrorism. So I want to make sure that the Democrats work with us to pass and fund the Department of Homeland Security, because I'm worried about the lone wolf, the sleeper cells and the cyber terrorism that's coming our way because of what Iran is telling people around the world to do to continue this reign of terror," Barrasso said.

Getting to 60 votes in the Senate is unlikely with just Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., as the lone potential Democrat vote to side with the Senate GOP on the SAVE America Act.

HOUSE REPUBLICANS PUSH JOHNSON TO GO TO WAR WITH SENATE OVER SAVE ACT

"The Democrats are against so many of the things that I think help this country," Barrasso added to Bartiromo. "They'd rather stand with illegal immigrant criminals than with the safety and security of the American people. I want to get the SAVE Act to the floor. I want to have a vote."

"That's the next step on this need to get the Department of Homeland Security open and funded," he continued. "The Democrats are bowing to the liberal left: The people that want to eliminate ICE, the people that want open borders again, and the people that really aren't looking out for the best interest of the American people.

"As the president said in the State of the Union, it is the first duty of the American government to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens. But that's what not one single Democrat stood up for that when every Republican stood and cheered loudly."

Barrasso, the Senate GOP member whipping up support, considers the SAVE America Act "common sense."

"You want to make sure that only citizens can vote," he concluded to Bartiromo. "You want to make sure that when people show up, they have a photo ID to prove they are who they say they are. You need a photo ID to buy a beer, to board a plane, all of those things. And it's 90% popular with the American people.
