BMW imported 8,000 Mini Coopers with banned Chinese parts into U.S.
A U.S. Senate report released on Monday revealed that German automaker BMW imported over 8,000 Mini Cooper vehicles into the United States with electronic components sourced from a banned Chinese supplier.
The report, from Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden’s staff, disclosed that BMW continued importing products with these banned parts until at least April, despite a 2021 law prohibiting such imports.
BMW Group responded, stating they have ceased importing affected products and will conduct a service action to replace the specific parts.
The company emphasized its adherence to strict standards regarding employment practices and human rights for all direct suppliers, CNBC has reported.

Michael Cohen admits he stole from Trump Org. during heated cross-examination
Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s former lawyer, testified for a third day in the former president’s criminal trial, admitting to deceiving Trump and his company for money while asserting that Trump approved the hush money payment to Stormy Daniels.
Trump’s attorney indicated that Trump is unlikely to testify and plans to call two brief witnesses before resting the defense.
Cohen discussed his conversations with Trump on the day he transferred money to Daniels and acknowledged being preoccupied with other matters at the time, including a deal involving taxi medallions and an extortion threat related to Trump’s daughter Tiffany.
Cohen denied discussing the Tiffany Trump situation with her father during those calls, NBC News reported.

Revolutionary War barracks burned by the British discovered in Colonial Williamsburg
Archaeologists in Colonial Williamsburg have made a significant discovery, uncovering the remains of barracks and various artifacts dating back to the Revolutionary War.
Historical documents and maps from the 18th century provided clues about military housing near the current visitor center location in eastern Virginia.
Excavations last year revealed bricks used in the construction of the barracks between 1776 and 1777. This period coincided with the Revolutionary War, lasting from 1775 to 1783.
The barracks, spanning roughly 3 to 4 acres, could accommodate up to 2,000 soldiers and 100 horses.
Unfortunately, the buildings were destroyed in 1781 by General Charles Cornwallis and his troops as they headed to the Battle of Yorktown, Live Science has reported.

NASA-funded pulsed plasma rocket concept aims to send astronauts to Mars in 2 months
An innovative rocket system, the Pulsed Plasma Rocket (PPR) developed by Howe Industries, could significantly reduce travel time to Mars, making the trip in just two months.
Current propulsion technology requires nearly two years for a round trip to Mars. The PPR, featuring a high specific impulse, promises greater efficiency and faster travel for astronauts and cargo.
It uses a fission-based nuclear power system for thrust, making it smaller, simpler, and more affordable than previous concepts.
Additionally, the PPR could support heavier spacecraft, allowing for better shielding against harmful Galactic Cosmic Rays, Space.com reported.

Biden slams ICC prosecutor’s ‘outrageous’ request for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders
President Biden criticized the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor for seeking arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, over alleged war crimes.
Biden condemned the move as outrageous and emphasized that there is no equivalence between Israel and Hamas, affirming U.S. support for Israel’s security.
The ICC prosecutor, Karim Khan, aims to charge Netanyahu, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and three Hamas leaders with war crimes and crimes against humanity following attacks last October that killed over 1,100 Israelis and Israel’s response resulting in over 35,000 Palestinian deaths, The Hill reported.

Boeing whistleblower fears for safety after colleagues’ sudden deaths
Santiago Paredes, the latest Spirit AeroSystems whistleblower, has dismissed conspiracy theories about the deaths of two other whistleblowers but remains cautious about his own safety.
Paredes, 40, spoke to The Independent before attending a memorial for his friend and fellow whistleblower Joshua Dean, who died at 45 from a sudden illness on April 30.
This followed the suicide of another whistleblower, John Barnett, in March. Paredes believes these deaths were not due to foul play but admits to being vigilant for his own safety.
Having worked as an inspector and team leader at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems for over a decade, Paredes left in 2022 after repeatedly raising quality control issues, which led to his demotion.
Concerns about the safety of Boeing’s 737 Max 9 planes escalated after a door plug incident during an Alaska Airlines flight in January, prompting the FAA to ground the planes and launch an investigation.
Multiple whistleblowers have since come forward with their experiences, the Independent has reported.

Biden tells black graduates Republicans ‘don’t see you in future of America’
President Joe Biden, speaking at Morehouse College’s commencement ceremony in Atlanta, Georgia, criticized former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies, asserting that they do not see Black Americans in the future of America.
Without naming Trump or the GOP, Biden referenced the January 6 Capitol riot, condemning those who call the insurrectionists “patriots” while recalling how Black officers defending the Capitol were disparaged.
Biden accused extremists of undermining affirmative action and diversity, claiming they aim to erase Black history.
He affirmed that Black history is integral to American history and expressed confidence in Black leadership shaping the future, the Daily Mail reported.

With JPMorgan, Mastercard on board in biometric payment options
Automated fast food restaurant CaliExpress by Flippy opened in Pasadena, California, in January with much fanfare for its robot burger makers.
However, it also introduced an innovative payment method using facial recognition technology from PopID.
Customers register with a selfie and can then pay by having their face scanned for verification.
This technology is not unique to CaliExpress; in January, Steak ‘N Shake began installing facial recognition kiosks in its 300 locations for quicker patron check-ins, reducing the time from 20 seconds with a QR code or mobile app to just two or three seconds with facial recognition.
Biometric payment methods are gaining popularity. Amazon’s pay-by-palm technology, launched in 2020, is now in 500 Whole Foods stores, CNBC has reported.

Target is reducing prices on over 5,000 frequently bought items, such as milk and diapers, to attract customers from Walmart.
With high food prices and borrowing costs, consumers are increasingly seeking cheaper options, prompting retailers to lower prices.
Facing stiff competition from Walmart, which offers lower prices and reports resilient consumer spending, Target aims to ease shoppers’ budget pressures.
Rick Gomez, Target’s chief food, essentials, and beauty officer, acknowledged the need to help consumers stretch their budgets.
Key items like meat, bread, fresh produce, soda, snacks, and yogurt will see discounts ahead of Memorial Day weekend, the Daily Mail has reported.

Chants of ‘intifada revolution’ at London protest
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators in London chanted slogans such as “Intifada revolution” and “UK government watch your back, Palestine is coming back” amid heightened tensions over the Middle East conflict.
The Metropolitan Police arrested a man for leading a chant after climbing a traffic light, citing a racially aggravated public order offence and criminal damage.
The protesters, showing solidarity with Gaza, marched through the city centre with Palestinian flags and banners, calling for a ceasefire in the prolonged seven-month conflict.
The march began at the BBC’s London headquarters and was rerouted to avoid clashes with counter-protesters, following police engagement with the organizers.
Organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, the march also commemorated the 76th anniversary of the Nakba, the 1948 mass displacement of Palestinians, the Daily Mail has reported.

Arrest warrants sought for Netanyahu, Hamas leader for war crimes
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is seeking arrest warrants for Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the October 7 attacks on Israel and the subsequent war in Gaza, according to ICC prosecutor Karim Khan in an interview with CNN.
The prosecution is also pursuing warrants for Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and two other top Hamas leaders, Mohammed Deif and Ismail Haniyeh.
This marks the first time the ICC has targeted the leader of a close U.S. ally. Netanyahu joins Russian President Vladimir Putin and Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi in facing ICC arrest warrants.
The simultaneous pursuit of warrants for both Israeli and Hamas leaders may draw criticism for equating an elected government with a terrorist organization, CNN reported.

Islamic State claims responsibility for deadly tourist attack in Afghanistan
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a deadly attack in Afghanistan’s Bamiyan province, where gunmen targeted Spanish tourists.
The Taliban’s interior ministry spokesperson reported that four individuals have been apprehended in connection with the attack, which also resulted in the death of an Afghan citizen and injuries to several others, both foreign and Afghan.
Bamiyan, known for its UNESCO World Heritage site and the remnants of the destroyed Buddha statues, has seen a small resurgence in tourism since the Taliban assumed control in 2021.
Despite Taliban assurances of security, incidents like Friday’s attack underscore ongoing risks for foreign visitors.
This assault is one of the most severe instances of violence against foreigners since the Taliban regained power, The Guardian has reported.

Blue Origin launches six tourists to the edge of space after nearly two-year hiatus
Blue Origin’s tourism rocket recently resumed its flights to the edge of space after a hiatus of nearly two years, following a failed uncrewed test flight.
The New Shepard rocket, along with its capsule, took off from Blue Origin’s facilities in West Texas, carrying six passengers on board.
Among them were individuals from various backgrounds, including a venture capitalist, a brewery founder, and a retired US Air Force captain who was once a candidate to become the nation’s first Black astronaut.
Despite not making it into the NASA Astronaut Corps, the retired captain, Ed Dwight, fulfilled a lifelong dream by reaching the edge of space at the age of 90, becoming the oldest person to do so.
Reflecting on the experience, he described it as life-changing and emphasized its significance for everyone, CNN has reported.

WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange faces U.S. extradition judgment day
A pivotal decision regarding the potential extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the United States is expected on Monday, marking the culmination of a 13-year legal battle.
Two judges at the High Court in London will determine whether assurances provided by the U.S. government regarding Assange’s rights are sufficient.
His legal team anticipates various outcomes, including extradition, release from jail, or further legal proceedings.
Assange’s wife, Stella, expressed uncertainty about the outcome, noting that anything could happen.
The case revolves around WikiLeaks’ release of classified U.S. military documents and a video depicting a 2007 helicopter attack in Iraq, NBC News has reported.

Notably, OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever and team co-leader Jan Leike have announced their departure from the company.
This move comes amidst growing concerns about the regulation and safety of advanced AI technologies.
In response to these developments, Leike emphasized the importance of prioritizing safety in the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI), AFP has reported.

Prosecutors are planning to drop charges against Scottie Scheffler
Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1 golfer, is likely to have charges against him dropped following his arrest at the PGA Championship.
The incident occurred outside Valhalla, where Scheffler, attempting to bypass traffic caused by a fatal accident, inadvertently dragged a police officer with his car.
This misunderstanding led to Scheffler being detained for three hours.
Reports from No Laying Up suggest Jefferson County prosecutors are ready to dismiss the charges, which include second-degree assault, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving, and disregarding traffic signals.
Scheffler is set to be arraigned on Tuesday morning, the Daily Mail has reported.

Louisiana set to become 1st state requiring 10 Commandments be posted in schools
Louisiana is set to become the first state mandating the display of the Ten Commandments in all publicly funded schools, including colleges and universities.
Similar legislative attempts in states like Texas, South Carolina, and Utah have not succeeded.
The movement gained momentum after Supreme Court rulings, such as Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, suggested a more lenient interpretation of the Constitution’s Establishment Clause.
Despite a 1980 Supreme Court decision deeming such a requirement unconstitutional in Kentucky, Louisiana’s bill HB71, authored by Rep. Dodie Horton, mandates that the Ten Commandments be prominently displayed on posters no smaller than 11 by 14 inches.
Sen. Royce Duplessis was the sole opponent during the bill’s discussion, arguing that religious teachings belong in church and warning of potential costly legal challenges, Axios reported.

Giant meteor turns night sky blue over Spain in rare spectacle
Incredible footage captured a rare celestial event as a comet traveling at 1,700 mph lit up the night sky over Spain and Portugal.
The spectacle transformed the dark sky into a brilliant greenish-blue hue, stunning stargazers.

Judge orders ICE to end ‘knock and talk’ arrests of immigrants in Southern California
A federal judge in Los Angeles has declared unconstitutional the tactic used by federal immigration agents in Southern California to arrest people in their homes without a judicial warrant.
The ruling, issued Wednesday against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), targets the agency’s “knock and talk” practices, where agents allegedly misrepresent themselves as police to gain entry.
ICE did not immediately comment on the decision.
Immigrant advocacy groups praised the ruling, emphasizing the basic human right for immigrants to feel safe in their homes, the Los Angeles Times has reported.

Beijing Shows Off Robot Dogs Armed With Machine Guns
During a major military exercise with Cambodian troops, the Chinese military showcased robot dogs equipped with machine guns, as reported by Agence France-Presse.
The 15-day drill, named “Golden Dragon,” took place in central Cambodia and off its coast, where journalists observed the robodogs being walked but not firing their weapons.
This display highlights the potential future of warfare involving armed autonomous machines, a development experts warn poses significant ethical issues and should be banned internationally.
Despite these concerns, military and law enforcement agencies in various countries, including the US, continue to explore such technology, citing potential lifesaving benefits.
For instance, US military contractor Ghost Robotics has developed a robot dog with a long-distance rifle, Futurism reported.

Israel pushes further into parts of north Gaza
Israeli troops and tanks advanced into northern Gaza on Saturday, targeting areas previously avoided in the ongoing seven-month conflict, resulting in numerous Palestinian casualties, according to medics and residents.
In addition, Israeli forces seized ground in Rafah, near the Egyptian border, raising concerns in Cairo and Washington due to the high number of displaced people there.
Benny Gantz, a centrist war cabinet member, threatened to resign if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not agree to a post-war plan for Gaza by June 8.
The Israeli military reported recovering the body of Ron Binyamin, one of over 250 hostages taken by Hamas on October 7, along with three other hostages found recently, Reuters reported.
