Corey Hutterli, 37, of Parkland, was granted a $150,000 bond by a judge on Thursday.

Hutterli is accused of pushing Justin Zelin, 35, off a 25th-floor balcony at the Akoya Condominiums, located at 6365 Collins Ave. on Mid-Beach on Feb. 15.

His attorneys say the state’s case is purely circumstantial.

Hutterli is facing charges of second-degree murder, burglary with assault or battery, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Ramin Rezaeian scored an early goal and assisted on Mohebbi's goal for the Iranians, whose World Cup cycle has been in upheaval since the U.S. and Israel began a war against Iran on Feb. 28. Iran ultimately decided to compete even after FIFA rejected its request to move its three group-stage matches out of the U.S.

Iran moved its training base during the tournament from Arizona to Tijuana, Mexico, and the team is flying into the U.S. on the day before each game before returning quickly to Mexico. Captain Mehdi Taremi acknowledged that this World Cup has been a difficult experience containing little of the joy that soccer represents to him and his teammates.

Team Melli began the tournament before a strong pro-Iranian crowd at SoFi Stadium near Los Angeles, which has the world’s largest population of Iranians outside Iran. While several hundred Iranian Americans protested the government outside, many fans from the diaspora jeered and turned their backs on the field during the national anthem — but almost all appeared to support the Iranian players once the match kicked off.

Elijah Just scored early in each half for New Zealand, but Iran responded twice to keep the All Whites winless in their World Cup history. New Zealand still matched its entire goal total from each of its two previous World Cup runs while posting an impressive result against a team ranked 65 places higher by FIFA.

After the raucous pregame atmosphere, New Zealand stunned the crowd in the seventh minute when captain Chris Wood intercepted a goal kick and eventually forced the ball to Just, who volleyed home a beautiful goal in traffic.

Iran found its footing and equalized in the 32nd minute when Rezaeian chipped a goal with the outside of his boot.

Just connected again in the 54th minute with more help from Wood, who held up play and found Just for a shot through traffic.

But Iran equalized again in the 64th minute when Rezaeian put a perfect long pass on the head of Mohebbi. Both teams had scoring chances afterward, but couldn't connect.

Players from both teams embraced and shook hands after the final whistle, with at least one jersey swap occurring. While Iran coach Amir Ghalenoei sat by himself in the dugout, his players gathered together and walked around the field applauding their thousands of flag-waving, roaring fans.

Iran is ranked 20th in its seventh World Cup appearance, including four straight. Team Melli has never advanced from the group stage.

New Zealand qualified for its first World Cup since 2010 despite being the lowest-rated team in the field, entering at 85th in the world. The All Whites seized the first automatic qualifying berth for the 13-member Oceania Football Confederation after the World Cup expanded to 48 teams.

Jimmy Crooks had a two-run double and Alec Burleson added an RBI double for the Cardinals, who won for the eighth time in 11 games.

May (5-6) struck out nine and walked one. He threw 69 of his 101 pitches for strikes during his first complete game in 71 major league starts.

The 28-year-old right-hander didn’t allow a baserunner until he walked Fernando Tatis Jr. to begin the seventh. Manny Machado singled one out later, putting runners at the corners, but Gold Glove shortstop Masyn Winn turned a nifty double play on Gavin Sheets’ grounder up the middle to keep it 3-0.

May struck out the side in the sixth and eighth. He became the first Cardinals starter to get an out in the eighth inning this year and the first to go the distance since Sonny Gray threw a one-hitter against the Guardians on June 27 last season.

It was the ninth complete game and sixth individual shutout in the majors this season.

Center fielder Jackson Merrill robbed Burleson of a home run against Lucas Giolito leading off the fourth. Giolito retired eight in a row before Lars Nootbaar and Winn had two-out singles. Crooks followed with a double to left-center for a 2-0 lead.

Iván Herrera walked with two outs in the fifth and advanced on a wild pitch before scoring on Burleson's double.

Giolito (2-2) allowed three runs and seven hits in five innings of relief after opener Wandy Peralta pitched a scoreless first. Kyle Hart gave up one hit over two innings.

Hart was recalled from Triple-A El Paso when the Padres placed closer Mason Miller on the bereavement list. Miller, who leads the majors with 19 saves, will miss the series.

Padres manager Craig Stammen served a one-game suspension after Major League Baseball ruled that reliever Ron Marinaccio intentionally hit Baltimore's Gunnar Henderson with a pitch on Saturday. Marinaccio received a three-game suspension, but he appealed and remains eligible to pitch.

Dispatch data indicates that the crash happened at around 11 a.m. near Northwest 106th Street.

According to FHP, two state troopers suffered serious injuries. FHP identified them as Trooper Amaury Quinones, 32, and Sgt. Alexis Otano, 54.

They were taken to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital. An FHP spokesperson said the injured troopers are expected to survive.

Video from Sky 10 shows a mangled FHP Dodge Charger that appears to have collided with one of the agency’s trailers. It additionally shows a damaged Cadillac SUV in the middle of the roadway.

According to FHP, both FHP vehicles had been driving together when the FHP truck towing the trailer got a flat tire.

After both troopers pulled to the shoulder to deal with the issue, agency officials said the Cadillac’s 28-year-old driver, Yasmel Rodriguez Moreno, veered off the roadway and hit the Charger, hitting a trooper standing near the trailer and also injuring the trooper sitting inside of the Charger.

“They are extremely lucky to have survived that incident,” FHP Chief Matthew Williams said at a news conference outside of the hospital. “(It) obviously could’ve been a lot worse.”

Williams said the crash serves as a reminder for drivers to heed the state’s move-over law.

Rodriguez Moreno was treated at an area hospital for minor injuries. Authorities said they took a blood sample from him to determine whether he was impaired at the time of the crash.

It happened around 6:15 p.m. Monday in the area of the 16000 block of Northeast Fourth Avenue.

According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to reports of a stabbing to find a man who appeared to be suffering from apparent stab wounds.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue crews rushed the man to a nearby hospital in critical condition, authorities said.

Deputies did not provide any information on any potential suspects or persons of interest.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.

The facility used to fuel Miami-Dade Fire Rescue vehicles and give them maintenance is located at 6100 SW 87^th Ave., just south of Snapper Creek.

Sky 10 was above the scene at 10:40 a.m. as there appeared to be heavy damage to a fuel pump.

According to Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz, an explosion appeared to have caused a fire at the facility.

Officials said one person was killed and four others were injured, including an MDSO lieutenant.

According to the sheriff, the lieutenant and another person were transported to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital and a third victim was transported to another hospital.

Police said a fourth victim drove themself to a nearby hospital.

One of the victims is in critical condition, but all of the victims are stable, according to MDSO.

Miami-Dade Fire Chief Ray Jadallah, meanwhile, confirmed that after the explosion, crews found an overhang that was destroyed and an active fire coming from underground.

He said there was vapor coming from below ground and they are still investigating whether it might have been from a gasoline vault.

MDSO officials said Southwest 87th Avenue is currently closed from Southwest 56th Street (Miller Drive) to Southwest 68th Street, and Southwest 64th Street is closed from the Snapper Creek Expressway to Southwest 92nd Avenue.

Drivers are urged to use alternate routes for the time being.

A newly unsealed judge’s order lays out the serious concerns Timothy Hudson could snap at any moment.

Hudson was indicted for the murder of Anna Kepner while their family was on a Carnival cruise ship bound for Miami in November of 2025.

He will be held behind bars while awaiting his federal trial.

It comes after his legal team previously convinced a judge to allow Hudson to stay with a close family member under restrictions, but a judge ordered Hudson to turn himself into Marshalls on Monday morning at a federal courthouse in Tampa.

A new court document ordering Hudson’s detention references the seriousness of the crimes and that he may be a danger to himself and others.

The document states: “Indeed it suggests a level of psychopathy and lack of remorse that by itself raises a serious concern that Defendant can snap at any time, despite the well-meaning and serious efforts of his caretakers to make sure that does not happen. The Government’s case for a forcible rape is beyond clear and convincing.”

Hudson is accused of murder and aggravated sex abuse in the killing of Kepner.

Investigators allege he tried to cover up the murder, even damaging Kepner’s cell phone and tossing it in a trash can on deck.

Kepner’s body would be found the following morning in their shared cabin.

A medical examiner determined she died from asphyxiation.

Hudson will be held in a juvenile facility in Miami-Dade County.

His federal trial is set to begin on Sept. 8.

The events of June 16, 1976 — now commemorated annually as Youth Day — are considered a turning point in South Africa's liberation struggle against white minority rule.

They ignited more demonstrations in various parts of the country, fueled more resistance against the apartheid and brought international attention to the racial oppression faced by Black people in South Africa.

Fifty years after the uprising, however, there are still concerns about the plight of young people in the country.

Survivors of the violent protests, experts and young South Africans have lamented the challenges facing the country's youth including inequality, high unemployment, poverty and social problems such as drug and alcohol abuse.

Soweto, one of the oldest townships in South Africa, bears symbols of the historic day which are frequently visited by local and international tourists.

These include a memorial named after Hector Pieterson, the 13-year-old whose lifeless body appears being carried away by another student in an iconic photograph that came to symbolize the 1976 uprising after it was published around the world.

Murals and billboards depicting protesting students can be found throughout the township, which is also home to the June 16 Memorial commemorating the uprising.

But for those who survived the protests, the symbols are a painful remembrance of the day that changed their lives forever.

Seth Mazibuko, a survivor of the deadly protests, remembers vividly how students fought back against the police, who were using tear gas to try and disperse the defiant demonstrators.

“They struggled with the tear gas because when they threw it our way, the wind would blow the gas back to them, so it was also affecting them,” said Mazibuko. “They then started sending the police dogs to us, we used stones to chase the dogs back to them.”

Mazibuko was detained for 18 months after his arrest and later imprisoned in Robben Island, where he served 7 years alongside other political prisoners.

Fifty years after the uprising, South Africa has undergone significant changes but inequality, unemployment and poverty are among the most pressing challenges facing its “born free” generation — those born after the end of apartheid.

“I would say the issues of poverty and crime are the most pressing ones,” said Sima Poto, a 19-year-old visiting the June 16 Memorial. “It is poverty that is leading many of them into crime.”

Zola Mguli, a 29-year-old who works with the Southern African Alcohol Policy Alliance, an organization campaigning against alcohol and substance abuse, said he is grateful to belong to a generation that has grown up in freedom, even as significant challenges remain. "Things are not going as well as our forefathers hoped, there is still racism, alcoholism and other things we are battling with,” he said. “But if we, the youth, rise up, we can do better.”

Historian Noor Nieftagodien said the 1976 student protest movement was a traumatic and transformative moment that reshaped the anti-apartheid struggle, placing young people at the forefront of liberation politics.

“This was a generation that was young, gifted, and Black,” he said. “They wanted education.”

“The idea of Black power resonated with this new generation of young people,” Nieftagodien said. “Black consciousness was kind of electrifying; it inspired university students and then increasingly also students in high schools.”

He said that since June 16 was declared a public holiday after the end of apartheid, the significance of the historic event has diminished, overshadowed by celebratory events that, in his view, water down its political meaning.

“It has lost its meaning,” he said. “What has happened is that we’ve had the day marked with concerts, etc. I’m all for concerts. But, in fact, in so doing, the kind of celebrations that have been organized have been disinvested from politics, from a critical understanding of what happened.”

The agreement announced Sunday to end the war in Iran, set for a ceremonial signing Friday in Geneva, is centered around reopening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting the United States’ naval blockade in the region, along with financial incentives for Iran if it meets certain benchmarks. But Senate Republicans and Democrats who returned to Washington on Monday said there were still many unanswered questions about the deal and they need thorough briefings before it is finalized.

“I just don’t know enough about it,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters in the Capitol. “Even the people who follow this stuff closely up here don’t know that much about it.”

Congressional leaders and intelligence committees generally receive higher-level intelligence briefings before rank-and-file members, and they are notified of major developments before they are announced. But Thune said he had not been personally briefed on the deal.

“I think that my understanding of what it entails — and, again, not having seen anything — it would require, I think the issues are going to be compliance, and how are you going to enforce that,” Thune said.

Thune’s concerns were echoed by several other GOP senators.

“If it’s a secret deal then how can I take it seriously?” asked Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina.

Vice President JD Vance told ABC News on Monday that the White House would release the text this week, “and what everybody will see is that Iran doesn’t get a dime of money unless they perform their obligations.”

Senators have questions about details

Trump has not yet explained how his agreement will address Iran’s nuclear program, including who will be in charge of verifying that Iran is in compliance and who will destroy or remove highly enriched uranium believed to be buried under nuclear sites that were badly damaged by U.S. strikes last summer.

A memorandum of understanding also includes the possibility of releasing Iran’s frozen funds, sanctions relief and a $300 billion fund to help rebuild Iran if Tehran meets certain benchmarks, senior U.S. officials told reporters Monday. But the document has not been released.

Thune said he wants to know more about the conditions on the financial incentives for Iran. He said the deal would be a “good one” if the incentives are conditioned upon Iran winding down its nuclear program and getting rid of the enriched uranium, “preventing them from having a nuclear capability in the future.”

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said he is hopeful but “until you see the final document, it’s hard to make an assessment.”

“I go into it very skeptical of the government of Iran,” Kennedy said. “They learn to lie before they learn to talk. So any agreement we make with them has to have guardrails. It has to have a way to judge through independent inspection if they’re doing what they say they’re doing.”

Senate could have a vote

Under the Iran nuclear agreement review act passed by Congress during the Obama era, any deal the U.S. reaches concerning Iran’s nuclear material must be submitted within a certain amount of time to Congress for review. But it is up to Congress whether that happens — it is not required.

President Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran, known as the JCPOA, was submitted for what’s called a vote of disapproval in the Senate. The outcome did not roll back the agreement, but put the senators on record with their support or opposition.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a close ally of Trump and a longtime hawk on Iran, has appeared skeptical over the emerging agreement. He said he is “pulling for a deal” but Congress will need to review and vote on it, and he wants to see the memorandum that the two countries have agreed on.

“The way Iran describes it, it’s awful. The way we describe it, it makes sense to me,” Graham, R-S.C., said. “Let’s look at it and see what it actually is.”

Graham has said he wants Vance, whom he called “the architect of the deal,” to present it to lawmakers.

Vance responded to Graham on Monday, saying in the interview with ABC that he would “caution Lindsey Graham and anybody else not to believe the hard-liner propaganda in Iran, but to believe what’s actually in the agreement.”

Even though Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is the son of the last supreme leader, and Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard still has significant authority in Iran, Vance told CNN in a separate interview that “fundamentally, it is a much different group of people.” He insisted that the conflict had unlocked much more direct communication with high-level Iranian officials and that the relationship was “fundamentally transformed.”

Next steps in Congress unclear

Most Senate Republicans said they want to review the deal, but it was still unclear whether they would have a vote, or if Congress could pass it.

Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri said he doesn’t think an up-or-down vote is necessary.

“You have the camp that wants us to lose and then you have a camp that wants a forever war,” Schmitt said. “President Trump’s not in either one of those camps, and neither am I.”

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said he expects the Senate will get the final say. But he praised Trump for making “the single most consequential decision of his presidency” by attacking Iran.

“I think he made America safer,” Cruz said. “The president as commander in chief acted decisively to stop that ayatollah from getting nuclear weapons.”

Sen. James Lankford, an Oklahoma Republican who serves on the Intelligence Committee, said he expects there are still many more steps to the process before any package would come to Congress for review.

“Seems like early reports are showing that this is kind of the first step,” he said. “Once we have a final agreement, we need to take it up and pass it. … If you want a long-term agreement it’s got to be law.”

Democrats ask what has changed

Democrats questioned how the deal will improve upon the U.S. position before the war — and how it differs from Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal.

“For all his critique of JCPOA, we had international observers, we actually had an alliance there that included the Europeans, and Russia and China were all signatories,” Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, told CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said there are more questions than answers, including what happens to the Iranian nuclear program and sanctions on Iranian oil.

Trump has spent “tens of billions of dollars” and service members and Iranians have died, “and he still cannot explain how one family in Massachusetts is better off,” Warren said.

Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia said an end to what has been a costly and unpopular war would be a good resolution, but he wants to hear more details.

“An off ramp is good because it was a war that should have never been started,” he said.

Associated Press writers Michelle Price in Washington and Bill Barrow in Alpharetta, Georgia, contributed to this report.

La Celeste salvaged a point, but they were not thrilled with the result.

“We gave it away. We have to be honest,” midfielder Federico Valverde said in Spanish after his side played to a 1-1 draw, making up for a flat first half by controlling the second.

“We gave away the first half,” Valverde added. “We didn’t play the way we had trained. It wasn’t what we were aiming for. We rushed things too much. We wanted to win the game in the very first minute. Sometimes you need a bit more patience and just play our game. We improved a lot in the second half.”

Abdulelah Al-Amri scored on a rebound in the 41st minute for Saudi Arabia, and Araújo got the equalizer in the 80th, firing a rebound past goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais from close range.

La Celeste dominated possession and had 29 attempts on goal to Saudi Arabia's seven but trailed until late in the second half.

It was the fourth international goal for Araújo and second at Hard Rock Stadium, home to the NFL's Miami Dolphins.

Al-Amri, who had a shot denied by Uruguay's Fernando Muslera earlier in the first half, put his squad ahead with a quick tap-in after Muslera palmed away a header.

Al-Amri fell to his knees after the goal and placed his head down on the pitch as he was showered with cheers from Saudi Arabia fans, who were greatly outnumbered in South Florida but loud enough to make up the difference.

Four years ago, they watched their team deliver one of the most memorable moments of the 2022 World Cup, coming back to stun Lionel Messi and eventual champion Argentina 2-1 in Saudi Arabia's opening match.

Monday's result was much less dramatic, but Saudi Arabia — behind a mostly solid performance by Al-Owais — was able to shut out Uruguay, a two-time World Cup champion, until late.

The Green Falcons were more pleased with the outcome than their opponents.

“Uruguay is a team that is very energetic,” Saudi Arabia coach Georgios Donis said through an interpreter. “The players are well experienced, and there is depth on the bench. ... When you’re faced with such an opponent, getting one point is a positive.”

Donis replaced the fired Hervé Renard only two months ago. He said he's still learning the squad, though he was hopeful after Monday's performance.

“I need to get to know my team better,” Donis said. “I need to create a team that is competitive, and it only makes sense that we need time to do this. Today’s outcome gives us an advantage.”

La Celeste had plenty of chances. Al-Owais denied a point-blank header from Federico Vinas in the first half, then got his fingertips on an attempt by Manuel Ugarte in the 61st. He also denied Valverde's attempt a couple of minutes into stoppage time.

“When a team that is supposed to make a difference cannot do it, in terms of being dangerous or dominating the ball,” Uruguay coach Marcelo Bielsa said through an interpreter, “then the weaker team actually dares to do something.”

The result capped a surprising day for Group H — made up of Saudi Arabia, Uruguay, Spain and Cape Verde.

Cape Verde, making its World Cup debut, held heavily favored Spain to a scoreless draw in Atlanta.

“The draw involving Spain may be the biggest surprise in this World Cup,” Donis said. “Cape Verde was very competitive, very strong. It’s not like the (group) favorites changed. It’s Spain and Uruguay.”

It was also a matchup of the past, present and future in World Cup history. Uruguay hosted the first World Cup in 1930 and will host a match commemorating the tournament’s centennial in 2030, and Saudi Arabia will host the World Cup in 2034.

Among those at the match: FIFA President Gianni Infantino, Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo, former NFL star Chad Ochocinco and longtime Uruguay standout Luis Suárez -- Messi’s teammate with Inter Miami who was not picked to represent his country at this tournament.

Los críticos atribuyen los cortes a problemas en la capacidad de generación, un deficiente mantenimiento de las instalaciones y mal manejo gerencial.

El acto realizado en el palacio presidencial de Miraflores fue encabezado por la presidenta encargada de Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, y Eric Gray, director ejecutivo del segmento de energía GE Vernova, una división de General Electric, enfocada en generación, transmisión, distribución y almacenamiento de electricidad.

Rodríguez indicó que la firma del memorando de entendimiento, luego de seis semanas de trabajo conjunto para levantar un minucioso informe sobre el sistema eléctrico venezolano, constituye “un paso histórico” con miras a la “recuperación de un servicio tan esencial para la vida de un país".

La mandataria pidió a los equipos de trabajo formalizar lo más pronto posible la redacción del contrato definitivo para dar comienzo a la las obras que permitirán recuperar en los primeros 24 meses 1.000 megavatios y más de 5.000 megavatios en cuatro años. No mencionó el costo del acuerdo.

Los expertos repetidamente señalan que las fallas que se registran casi a diario en 23 estados y la capital venezolana en la mayoría de los casos son consecuencia de una incapaz administración que se traduce en la falta de mantenimiento del sistema eléctrico nacional.

Las instalaciones eléctricas acusan deterioro, particularmente las centrales termoeléctricas que otrora conformaban el sistema de respaldo en temporadas de sequía o en caso de una avería en la hidroeléctrica de Gurí, que suministra 60% de la energía del país. Se estima que en Venezuela el déficit es de 3.000 megavatios.

El acuerdo fue suscrito luego de una serie de reformas legales realizadas desde enero pasado que han reducido drásticamente el rígido control estatal sobre el sector energético vigente en las últimas dos décadas y lo abrió ampliamente a la inversión extranjera.

En respuesta a las reformas legales, particularmente en el sector de los hidrocarburos, el Departamento del Tesoro de Estados Unidos comenzó a flexibilizar las sanciones contra Venezuela y amplió la capacidad de las compañías energéticas estadounidenses y de otros países para operar en el país.

Después que una operación militar de fuerzas estadounidenses depuso y capturó al entonces presidente Nicolás Maduro la madrugada del 3 de enero pasado, Washington se ha propuesto una hoja de ruta de “tres fases”, que incluye la estabilización, recuperación y transición democrática del país.

Un avión especialmente adaptado, conocido como el “Freedom Plane”, transporta los documentos fundacionales originales del país por distintas ciudades de Estados Unidos como parte de la celebración del 250.º aniversario de la nación.

El director ejecutivo de la National Archives Foundation, Patrick Madden, explicó que los documentos viajan en estuches con temperatura controlada dentro de la cabina de pasajeros de un Boeing 737, donado a la fundación para esta gira nacional.

“Por primera vez, nueve documentos originales resguardados en la bóveda de los Archivos Nacionales han viajado a Miami”, dijo Madden. “Creo que lo que más entusiasmará al público será ver una copia de la Declaración de Independencia”.

Miami es una de solo ocho ciudades elegidas para recibir el documento que dio origen a una nueva nación.

“Son ideas que han resistido el paso del tiempo y que se han convertido en una democracia viva que ha evolucionado y perdurado”, afirmó Madden. “Para nosotros, Miami es un mercado muy importante. Es un centro de actividad internacional y su comunidad representa lo que simbolizan estos documentos”.

Los documentos estarán en exhibición en el HistoryMiami Museum.

“Creo que esto dice mucho de lo que es Miami, una ciudad construida por personas que han llegado de todas partes del mundo con esperanza, buscando oportunidades y creyendo en la promesa estadounidense”, señaló la directora ejecutiva del museo, Natalia Crujeiras.

Los históricos pergaminos ofrecen una visión de cómo los fundadores llegaron a la promesa de Estados Unidos mediante la negociación y el compromiso, como lo demuestra la revisión realizada por el Senado en 1789 de la Carta de Derechos (Bill of Rights).

“Están editando el Artículo 3, que finalmente se convertiría en la Primera Enmienda. Literalmente estamos viendo el momento en que debatían qué debía incluirse y qué no en la Primera Enmienda. Eso es historia”, explicó Madden.

Crujeiras afirmó que la exposición, titulada “Documents That Forged a Nation” (“Documentos que forjaron una nación”), invita a la reflexión.

“Estados Unidos pudo haber sido fundado en aquel momento, pero ese experimento continúa hasta nuestros días y depende de nuestra participación”, concluyó.

Se espera que la fiscalía presente a dos testigos más antes de que la defensa comience a llamar a sus propios testigos durante la tarde.

Pino, de 55 años, enfrenta cargos de homicidio involuntario y homicidio por embarcación por la muerte de Lucy Fernández, de 17 años.

Los fiscales sostienen que Pino, quien tenía 52 años al momento de los hechos, actuó de manera imprudente cuando perdió el control de una embarcación Robalo de 29 pies durante la tarde del 4 de septiembre de 2022 y se estrelló contra una baliza de navegación cerca de Boca Chita Key, provocando la muerte de Fernández. Otras dos adolescentes resultaron gravemente heridas, entre ellas Katerina Puig, también de 17 años.

Por su parte, la defensa argumenta que el accidente fue simplemente un hecho fortuito y no el resultado de una conducta negligente.

Then it was their players donning authentic Viking attire, complete with weapons, shields and long boats, to the backdrop of a fjord for a moody, dramatic photo shoot.

“A dream 28 years in the making... let’s do this!” Norway star Erling Haaland wrote on the X platform Monday, reposting the photo of the team along with one of his father, Alfie Haaland, competing for the national team in the 1994 World Cup.

Norway is leaning into the country’s centuries-old history as its star-studded men’s team, containing Haaland and Martin Odegaard, heads into a first World Cup in 28 years.

It has created plenty of excitement and debate.

“It was an ask or a question from the (photographers),” Norway manager Stale Solbakken said Monday in advance of his team's World Cup opener against Iraq. “The players wanted me to do it. They were positive. The federation was positive. And I was average positive. And then we did it."

It could be the new “thunder clap”

The Norway fan routine sees lines of supporters, wearing Viking helmets and the team’s red-and-blue jerseys, rowing in unison, forward and backward, to the steady beat of a drum.

Expect it to catch the eye at the World Cup in Norway’s group games at Foxborough, Massachusetts (against Iraq and France) and in New Jersey (against Senegal).

It could potentially have a similar impact to the “thunder clap” performed by Iceland’s fans at the European Championship in 2016 that resonated around the world and has since been used by many other sports teams.

One critic says the photo is “chauvinistic”

The Norwegian soccer federation commissioned British photographer David Yarrow to take the Viking snap, and he said in an interview with The Athletic he knew “it might get some criticism.”

Yarrow was right.

As well as sparking wonder for its breathtaking backdrop and creativity, it also is regarded by some as controversial for harking back to a time — in the 800s and 900s — when Norwegian Vikings conducted raids featuring looting and pillaging.

One commentator, Markus Slettholm from daily paper Morgenbladet, said the photo was chauvinistic and “a bit reminiscent of what neo-Nazis were concerned with 10 years ago.”

Solbakken doesn’t see the fuss.

“There are many bigger and more difficult topics,” he said before the World Cup. “I can’t afford to waste time on that.”

Yarrow previously worked with Haaland in a solo photo shoot.

The BBC reported that sales of the Viking-themed team photo will raise funds for Norwegian charities.

It’s located near Northwest 137th Avenue and 25th Street in the western part of unincorporated Miami-Dade County.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said they have units at the scene, and that the fire has been upgraded to a three-alarm incident.

Fire helicopters have been observed performing water drops on the flames.

The Florida Forest Service has also been contacted, officials said.

As of around 4 p.m., authorities said the fire was 60% contained.

Officials advised people with respiratory conditions to stay indoors and recirculate the air in their homes and vehicles using air conditioning.

There were no reports that the fire was impacting any structures or roadways.

El incendio se localiza cerca de la intersección de Northwest 137th Avenue y 25th Street, en la zona oeste del área no incorporada del condado de Miami-Dade.

El Departamento de Bomberos y Rescate de Miami-Dade informó que mantiene varias unidades en el lugar y que el incidente fue elevado a una alarma de nivel tres.

Helicópteros de bomberos fueron vistos realizando descargas de agua sobre las llamas.

Las autoridades también solicitaron el apoyo del Servicio Forestal de Florida.

Hasta alrededor de las 4:00 p.m., el incendio se encontraba contenido en un 60%, informaron las autoridades.

Los funcionarios recomendaron a las personas con enfermedades respiratorias permanecer en interiores y mantener el aire recirculando en sus viviendas y vehículos mediante el uso del aire acondicionado.

Hasta el momento, no se ha informado que el incendio haya afectado estructuras o vías de circulación.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami confirmed that Timothy Hudson is in custody. U.S. Magistrate Judge Edwin Torres filed the order to revoke Hudson’s pretrial release last Wednesday, but the order was sealed until Monday afternoon. The order stated that Hudson should surrender to U.S. Marshals at the federal courthouse in Tampa Monday morning.

The judge had ruled in February that the 16-year-old could live with an uncle and be electronically monitored. But after the case was transferred to adult court in April, prosecutors wanted Hudson in custody.

The judge ultimately agreed that the issue of Hudson's pretrial detention should be treated as if he was an adult, though Hudson will be held in an approved juvenile facility.

“The Government has established, by clear and convincing evidence, that no condition or combination of conditions of release will reasonably assure the safety of the community going forward,” Torres wrote in his order.

Hudson has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse in the death of Anna Kepner. His federal public defenders have declined to comment on the charges.

Minors are rarely prosecuted in federal court, and this case landed there because Kepner apparently died in international waters, outside any state’s jurisdiction.

Kepner had been traveling on the Carnival Horizon ship in November with her family, including Hudson. Before the ship was scheduled to return to Florida, her body was found concealed under a bed in a room she was sharing with Hudson and another teen, a criminal complaint said.

The cause of Kepner’s Nov. 6 death was determined to be mechanical asphyxia, which is when an object or physical force stops someone from breathing.

Attorneys for the prosecution and the defense made arguments for and against Hudson being jailed until his trial during a May 27 hearing, but Torres said he wanted to speak with the Marshals Service about the logistics of detaining Hudson in central Florida, closer to his family, rather than South Florida, where the trial is taking place. Hudson walked out of the courthouse after that hearing.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Alejandra Lopez argued at the hearing that the crimes Hudson is accused of are so serious that the court shouldn’t risk another violent attack. An autopsy determined that Kepner had been pinned down and forcibly raped, the prosecutors said. She also noted that it likely took 3-5 minutes for Hudson to allegedly strangle Kepner until she was dead.

The prosecutor also argued that Hudson was a much greater flight risk because he now faces a possible life sentence if convicted of the adult charges. As a juvenile, he would have been released at age 21, regardless of what counts he was found delinquent on.

Evan Kuhl, with the Federal Public Defender’s office, told the judge during the hearing that Hudson has abided by the conditions of his release for months without issue.

Kepner's father, Christopher Kepner, previously released a statement, saying the family was placing “trust in the justice system to pursue the truth with care and integrity.”

“The situation is deeply painful and complex for the entire family,” Kepner said.

Anna Kepner was a high school cheerleader at Temple Christian School in Titusville, Florida, about 40 miles (65 kilometers) east of Orlando. At her memorial service in November, family members encouraged people to wear bright colors instead of the traditional black “in honor of Anna’s bright and beautiful soul.”

Deputies warned drivers about restrictions on the Florida Turnpike 2X northbound and southbound ramp and exit at Northwest 199th Street.

Drivers who do not have a valid FIFA parking pass will not be allowed through 199th Street, between 27th Avenue and 14th Court.

Saudi Arabia vs. Uruguay, a Group H match, was set to start with a ceremony at 6 p.m. at 347 Don Shula Drive.

Until postgame traffic clears, deputies plan to close 27th Avenue between 203 and 199 streets and the Turnpike northbound between Golden Glades and the Turnpike’s 2X Exit.

A specially-designed ”Freedom Plane" is bringing the country’s original founding documents across the U.S. as part of the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration.

National Archives Foundation CEO Patrick Madden explained how the documents are traveling in style, in temperature-controlled cases inside the passenger cabin of a Boeing 737 donated to the foundation for this national tour.

“For the first time, nine original documents from the holdings of the National Archives vault have traveled to Miami,” said Madden. “I think the number one thing people are going to be excited to see is the copy of the Declaration of Independence.”

Miami is one of just eight cities chosen for the honor of hosting the document that started a new nation.

“Ideas that have stood the test of time and have become a living democracy that has evolved, endured,” said Madden. “Miami for us is a major market. It is a hub of international activity and the community really represents what these documents represent.”

The documents will be displayed at History Miami Museum.

“I think it speaks volumes for what Miami is, a city built by people who have come from all over the world, with hope, seeking opportunity and believing in the American promise,” said History Miami Museum CEO Natalia Crujeiras.

The historic parchments provide a glimpse at how framers came to America’s promise through negotiation and compromise, such as the 1789 Senate markup of the Bill of Rights.

“Editing Article 3, which eventually becomes our First Amendment, so literally this is the day that they are debating what should be in the First Amendment, what should not be in the First Amendment. That is history right there,” said Madden.

Crujeiras said the exhibition, called “Documents That Forged A Nation,” creates space for reflection.

“America was maybe founded in that moment, but this experiment continues to exist to today and depends on our participation,” she said.

For hours, soccer fans descended on the stadium at 347 Don Shula Drive in time for a patriotic ceremony.

Players from the national teams of Saudi Arabia, which ranks 60th in the world, and Uruguay, which ranks 16th, competed during their first Group H match.

Pre-game coverage: Uruguayans arrive in high spirits

Uruguayan fans in their light blues dominated the stadium’s crowd. The match was a test for local and federal law enforcement.

The Miami Stadium is also set to host six more FIFA World Cup 2026 matches, and a drone ban will be in effect for all of them.

The family of 20-year-old Deshay Turner says body camera footage shows that he was complying with the commands of a St. Cloud Police Department officer moments before he was shot and killed.

His family says one moment in particular raises questions about why he was shot, arguing that Turner’s hands were visible to officers before gunfire erupted.

The shooting happened in December of last year.

Police say Turner ran from officers following a car burglary investigation and pointed a gun at them before an officer opened fire.

“Officers gave the subject numerous times to cooperate but the suspect did not comply,” said SCPD Chief Doug Goerke.

Turner’s family says he did comply and they argue the video supports their claim.

In the body camera video, officers can be heard repeatedly ordering Turner to show his hands.

Moments before shots are fired, another officer appears to indicate turner’s hands are visible.

“If this officer is saying, ‘I got hands,’ he is not saying I see a gun so why did he shoot?” asked Turner’s cousin, Shonda Lilybud.

The family’s lawsuit argues Turner had his hands up and did not deserve to be shot.

His mom, Tamika McKnight, never thought this would be her story.

“I have pictures of me out there for Trayvon Martin, but I never thought it would be my own son,” she said.

McKnight said the video doesn’t match what police officers say happened in those final moments.

“It was unjustified,” she said. “It was unreasonable. There are many tactics they could’ve done besides murdering my son like they were hunting a deer.”

McKnight also disputes how her son has been portrayed.

While police described Turner as a convicted felon, a Local 10 News review of Florida court records did not uncover any adult felony convictions in his name.

She describes her son as a loving young man who never would have pointed a gun at police.

“I didn’t have to see any footage, my son has never been a violent person,” said McKnight. “He is not a violent person.”

The family’s attorney, Harold Thompson, argues the video shows Turner was complying with officers’ commands when the shots were fired.

“There’s no disputing that his hands were up,” said Thompson. “He had a bullet fragment pulled from both underarms.”

But in previously released statements, SCPD said Turner was armed and that officers acted within the law when they opened fire.

The police chief also defended the officers’ actions after the shooting, saying they immediately began life saving efforts.

The agreement signed electronically Sunday is meant to provide a meaningful truce in a monthslong war that has killed thousands across the Middle East, including the top leaders of Iran’s theocracy, and raised the prices of fuel, food and other basic goods far beyond the region. But logistical and military challenges underscored the fragile nature of the deal, which was set for a ceremonial signing Friday in Geneva.

At the core of the pact is a planned reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway whose blockage has choked the supply of the world’s oil and natural gas. Yet even a full reopening would not immediately alleviate the global energy crisis its closure created.

Another potential obstacle concerns Israel, which joined the U.S. in launching the war on Feb. 28, but it is not party to the deal. The Israeli military launched airstrikes Sunday in southern Lebanon, where it is fighting the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group, and the Israeli defense minister said Monday that the country would not withdraw from land seized in Lebanon, where Israel is fighting the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday said the agreement between the U.S. and Iran was Trump’s decision. Netanyahu said Israel has its own interests, primarily protecting against a potential nuclear threat from Iran. He said Iran wanted Israel to withdraw from Lebanon, but he stood firm, saying Israel would remain in the buffer zone “as long as necessary.”

“I tell you, citizens of Israel, the struggle is not over. We will need to continue to be vigilant, to remain strong and determined, to defend ourselves as necessary,” he said.

Other uncertainties center on Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which the U.S. and Israel worry could be used to build an atomic weapon despite Tehran’s insistence for years that it has no aspirations to do so. The deal gives Iran just 60 days to decide what to do with its supply. It took years for Iran and world powers to negotiate a 2015 agreement to rein in Tehran’s nuclear program.

President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew the U.S. from that accord in his first term, setting the stage for the tensions that culminated in the current war.

The Strait of Hormuz won’t open until the deal is signed

Early in the war, Iranian attacks on ships brought traffic in the Strait of Hormuz — through which a fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas passed before the conflict — to a near standstill. Trump implemented a blockade in response.

Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Kazem Gharibabadi, said Iran would not start implementing the agreement until after the signing ceremony. The U.S. military said the blockade will remain in place “pending execution” of the deal.

“Do not attempt to cross until explicit direction is given,” it said Monday in an advisory to merchant ships.

Trump, who faced pressure to end the war ahead of congressional midterm elections in November, said that “a lot of great things are going to happen in the Middle East right now.”

“Very importantly, the oil is plummeting down, and the stock market is shooting up like a rocket today,” he said Monday at the G7 summit in France.

While the agreement provides for the “immediate” opening of the strait and lifting of the blockade, the process will take time because there are mines in the strait, and ships are unwilling to risk traversing it, according to a senior U.S. official who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity to discuss outlines of the agreement.

Details remain scant but expected soon

A second senior U.S. official told reporters that details of the agreement would be released within the next two days.

The memorandum of understanding includes the possibility of releasing Iran’s frozen funds, easing sanctions and creating a $300 billion fund to rebuild Iran — all of which would be tied to Iran meeting benchmarks, the official said.

The officials said technical talks would begin Friday after the signing ceremony and that Vice President JD Vance would lead negotiations for the U.S.

Israel says it won’t withdraw from Lebanon

The success of the deal rests at least partially on what happens between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Israel’s bombing of Beirut’s southern suburbs on Sunday nearly derailed the negotiations, and a previous attack led Iran to fire on Israel and Israel to fire back.

Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israel plans to stay “indefinitely” in land it holds in Lebanon, Syria and the Gaza Strip. He also threatened that if Iran attacks Israel over its strikes in Lebanon, Israel will strike Iran with “great force.”

Asked where Israel stands on the deal, David Mencer, a spokesman in Netanyahu’s office, told The Associated Press that Israel and the U.S. remain fully aligned on preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. But he added that Israel will not tolerate attacks from Hezbollah on its territory.

Israel and the U.S. began the war apparently in lockstep, but the war has created deep fractures in that close relationship, with Trump eager to end a conflict that is deeply unpopular with the American public and Netanyahu intent on destroying Hezbollah. Trump appears to have grown increasingly frustrated with the Israeli leader, even occasionally publicly insulting him, including telling The New York Times on Sunday that he was a “very difficult guy.”

Many Lebanese travel to check on homes

In a sign of the deal’s fragility, the Lebanese army called on residents not to rush to return to border villages, saying they should follow military instructions because of the danger of “Israeli violations and aggression.”

Many Lebanese who had fled following Israeli evacuation orders and intense fighting were heading south, however, to check on their homes. Celine Fayad, driving south, said she will test how far she could go. Her village, Aitaroun, is along the border with Israel. It was among the first to be occupied and lies in ruins.

“We were expecting to return,” she said. “Thanks to Iran.”

Ali Haidar was among the first to return to Nabatiyeh, the southern city at the heart of the latest Israeli military operations, where many central buildings have been reduced to dust.

“This used to be our home, our childhood home where we have all of our memories. This is where we grew up. Now it’s gone,” Haidar said. “We will return to rubble and sand. It’s better than being displaced.”

Hezbollah, meanwhile, credited Iran with a “major achievement” in reaching the agreement, which it said could lead to “the full liberation of our land, the return of our prisoners to their homeland and families,” and reconstruction of war-devastated areas.

Along with praising the deal, the militant group said it was committed to resisting Israel “until full withdrawal is achieved.”

Imágenes aéreas de Sky 10, captadas alrededor de las 10:40 a.m., mostraban daños considerables en una bomba de combustible.

De acuerdo con la alguacil de Miami-Dade, Rosie Cordero-Stutz, una explosión aparentemente provocó el incendio en las instalaciones.

Las autoridades informaron que una persona falleció y otras cuatro resultaron heridas, entre ellas un teniente de la Oficina del Alguacil de Miami-Dade (MDSO).

Según la alguacil, el teniente y otra persona fueron trasladados al HCA Florida Kendall Hospital, mientras que una tercera víctima fue llevada a otro hospital.

La policía indicó que una cuarta persona lesionada llegó por sus propios medios a un hospital cercano.

De acuerdo con la Oficina del Alguacil de Miami-Dade, una de las víctimas permanece en estado crítico, aunque todas se encuentran estables.

Por su parte, el jefe del Departamento de Bomberos y Rescate de Miami-Dade, Ray Jadallah, confirmó que, tras la explosión, los equipos de emergencia encontraron una estructura tipo marquesina destruida y un incendio activo que provenía del subsuelo.

Añadió que se detectó la presencia de vapores provenientes de debajo de la superficie y que los investigadores aún tratan de determinar si estos procedían de un depósito subterráneo de gasolina.

Las autoridades informaron que Southwest 87th Avenue permanece cerrada entre Southwest 56th Street (Miller Drive) y Southwest 68th Street, mientras que Southwest 64th Street está cerrada entre la Snapper Creek Expressway y Southwest 92nd Avenue.

The state called two more witnesses before resting its case.

Pino, 55, is facing manslaughter and vessel homicide charges in the death of 17-year-old Lucy Fernandez.

Prosecutors accuse Pino, then 52, of being reckless when he lost control of a 29-foot Robalo boat in the early evening hours of Sept. 4, 2022 and slammed it into a channel marker near Boca Chita Key, killing Fernandez. Two other girls were seriously hurt, including 17-year-old Katerina Puig.

His defense team counters that the crash was merely an accident and not the result of negligence.

One of the state’s witnesses was Paul Alber, a longtime law enforcement officer and boating expert.

He described the Cutter Bank channel, where the crash happened, as “basically the nautical equivalent of I-95.”

Alber was commissioned by the state to create a report analyzing the allision between Pino’s boat and the marker. He also testified about navigational rules and how the weight of 14 people on board a 29-foot boat ― something he described as a “big tight squeeze” ― affects its speed.

“Would having 10 girls affect the ability of that boat to hit that 54 or 55 mph top-rated speed?” Prosecutor Laura Adams asked.

Alber replied, “Absolutely.”

Prosecutors played filmed recreations of the boat’s path and speed. Data shows it went 47 mph, accelerating before hitting the channel marker. Alber says it struck first on the starboard bow, leaving green marks behind, scraping all along the starboard side.

Some of the most seriously injured all sat on the starboard side.

The defense tried to show flaws in the expert’s analysis and the recreation of the crash itself.

“Did you do any analysis of how the sun would reflect off of any of these markers in doing your analysis?” Pino’s attorney, Howard Srebnick, asked.

“No,” Alber replied.

He had responded affirmatively when Srebnick asked if an operator “might have his or her visibility obscured by the passengers seated in the front of that boat.”

Prosecutors began questioning their last witness, a forensic pathologist, going into the afternoon.

Dr. David Garavan testified as to Fernandez’s cause of death.

After the state rested, Pino’s attorneys asked the judge to throw out the case, saying the state failed to meet its burden of proof.

The judge said she would rule on the motion on Tuesday morning.

Investigators with the Miami Police Department said Dhir Patel would visit the store “to sell items” in exchange for money.

It happened at Savonches, a retailer that, according to its website, sells “rare luxury clothing, bags, accessories, jewelry, watches and more.” It’s located at 78 NW 37th St.

An MPD arrest report states that Patel, of Boynton Beach, “would walk throughout the store selecting merchandise” during his visits and detectives said “CCTV footage reportedly shows the subject concealing clothing items inside a bag he brought with him.”

Police said the thefts happened during a period from March 30 to last Monday. All told, investigators said he stole about $41,550 worth of designer goods.

“We originally started at $41,000 since we’ve calculated it up, it’s about $55-to-60,000 now,“ owner Louis Negrich later told Local 10 News.”

MPD officers said they arrested Patel on a grand theft charge on Saturday after he came back to the store to sell more items. Authorities said he made a confession, which was redacted from the publicly-released report.

“Just don’t steal,” Negrich said. “It’s just as simple as that. It’s just, everything comes back to bite you.”

Court records show Patel posted a $5,000 bond and was released from jail.

The melee, including last-minute endorsements from President Donald Trump and outgoing Gov. Brian Kemp, was on full display Monday ahead of Tuesday’s runoff. Rep. Mike Collins and former football coach Derek Dooley are competing for the party's nomination for U.S. Senate, while Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and billionaire businessman Rick Jackson are running for governor.

Trump and Kemp are aligned behind Jones but split in the Senate race. Top grassroots organizers are divided too. Even Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a former rival to Trump, stepped into the mix on Jackson’s behalf, putting him at odds with the president and governor.

“There’s a lot of division in the MAGA world and across the Republican Party,” said Debbie Dooley, an original national tea party organizer who is backing Jones for governor but Dooley for Senate. (She's not related to the candidate.) “We better get it together after Tuesday.”

Kemp insisted there is a common denominator.

“Everything I’m doing is to win in November,” he said Monday after campaigning for Jones and Derek Dooley at separate events in metro Atlanta.

Kemp has backed Derek Dooley for months in the Senate race, arguing it will take an outsider to defeat Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in November. Yet Kemp campaigned for the first time Monday with Jones, a day after he endorsed the lieutenant governor despite Jackson's outsider campaign. In the governor's race, Kemp reasoned that Jones is the right man to defeat Democratic nominee and former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.

Trump, meanwhile, has backed Jones since last August, rewarding him for his loyalty as part of Trump’s alternate Electoral College slate in the 2020 scheme to overturn Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential victory. But the president waited until the final weekend to choose Collins over Dooley, with a social media post that noted Dooley has backed Trump’s falsehoods about his loss to Biden.

Kemp’s and Trump’s differing courses highlight their complicated relationship — Kemp certified Biden’s electors in 2020 over Trump’s objections — and the results Tuesday will tests both men’s internal party influence as their final terms play out.

“I’m not worried about any political equations or keeping score,” Kemp said Monday after campaigning alongside Jones and Dooley at separate morning events. “It’s making sure we have the right people at the top of the ticket.”

He also rejected any notion that he was being inconsistent by pushing the Washington outsider in one race and the Georgia statehouse insider in another. The reason, he said, was that Georgia has been controlled by Republicans for more than two decades and, in Kemp’s estimation, is doing well enough that Jones would be “really building off the great legacy” of multiple state administrations. Congress, meanwhile, is a mess of “inaction” with abysmal approval ratings, he said.

Dooley, for his part, embraced Kemp’s influence and downplayed Trump’s.

“It’s very simple,” he said. “A vote for Mike Collins is a vote for Jon Ossoff. A vote for me is a vote for the people of Georgia.”

Jackson likewise downplayed Kemp’s last-minute nod for Jones.

“I respect Gov. Kemp very much, and I think people are ready for an outsider,” he said.

Cruz was more animated, with an implicit comparison of Jackson to Trump.

“He’s rich,” Cruz told Jackson supporters with a smile. And he’s a first-time candidate, the senator continued. “I don’t know anybody like that in politics,” Cruz deadpanned.

Debbie Dooley, the conservative activist, noted that erstwhile tea party leaders in the state aren’t on the same page anymore either. While she’s campaigning with Derek Dooley, the founder of Tea Party Patriots, Jenny Beth Martin, has appeared with Collins.

“It’s just not as simple as blindly following Trump anymore,” Debbie Dooley said. “I don’t want the most conservative candidate. I want the most conservative candidate who can win.”

It took only 23 seconds to turn those hopeful cheers into raptures of euphoria.

Lukaku's presence sparked an immediate attack that led to Belgium’s lone goal against Egypt on Monday, helping to earn a 1-1 draw in the team's opening World Cup match.

“He’s a target man,” Belgium captain Youri Tielemans said. “He needs to build up his fitness, which is understandable after being out for the season. But, he helps us in this way.”

Lukaku, a Napoli striker who leads his nation in goals scored, withdrew from Belgium’s friendlies in the United States in the spring to get fitter as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury. That injury didn't look too bothersome in the 66th minute when he ran down the middle of the field moments after entering the game and lurched to tap a cross from the right into the net. Egypt defender Mohamed Hany got there first, however, and scored an own-goal to even the score.

With 66,775 spectators watching, the Egyptians took the lead early in the Group G match. Emam Ashour scored his first international goal in the 19th minute.

If not for Lukaku's impact in the second half, Belgium easily could have dug itself into quite a hole in a group it is heavily favored to win, much as it did when failing to advance past the group stage at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Despite out-possessing Egypt, the Red Devils struggled to score all afternoon.

Midfielder Kevin De Bruyne came the closest for Belgium, pushing a shot wide left in the seventh minute before clanking another off the left post in the 53rd. Lukaku could have put Belgium in front late, too, but his header sailed far above the goal.

Belgium coach Rudi Garcia said because only 20% of his team’s shots were on target, netting one goal was a fair representation of their efforts. Still, Garcia would have preferred a faster start.

“We weren’t really in the groove,” Garcia said in French. “Technically, we left a lot to be desired.”

Egypt, meanwhile, were the more aggressive side in the first 45 minutes. Ashour, a midfielder who was playing in his 30th game for his country, took advantage of a defensive breakdown to give his team only its second lead in a World Cup match.

The Egyptians, who are playing in their fourth World Cup, have still never won a game at the tournament.

“The match shows we were closer to earning the win,” Egypt coach Hossam Hassan said in Arabic.

Belgium demonstrated it is still quite reliant on national team stalwarts like De Bruyne, Lukaku and goalkeeper Thibault Courtois, each of whom is playing in their fourth World Cup.

Winger Jérémy Doku, 24, kept his squad competitive in the first half, but the Red Devils were fortunate to only trail by one entering halftime.

“Our biggest challenge was about us. We lost too many balls, we weren’t quick enough in transition, and when we had the ball, we didn’t find the solutions,” Tielemans said. “We were too static, especially in the first half. In the second half, we created some chances, which — we could have won the game, but they had some chances as well.”

In Garcia’s opinion, Egypt and Belgium are the two best teams in Group G, which also features New Zealand and Iran.

“We have to win against Iran,” Garcia said of his team's next match on Sunday. “There’s no two ways around it.”

More players are coming early, not so much to avoid the rush but to avoid the wait.

“It's gotten terrible,” Justin Thomas said leading into the third major of the year. “You have to sign up for tee times at the (British) Open and U.S. Open, and then people sign up with you and play in a foursomes. You can't play nine holes in less than three hours.”

The way around that is to follow a script from Jack Nicklaus back in his prime — see the course early before it becomes populated with pros and amateurs, contenders and dreamers.

Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy took a detour on their way to Ohio two weeks ago to play Shinnecock Hills, the first time seeing it for the No. 1 player, a refresher course for McIlroy.

Jon Rahm arrived last Friday to see what he should expect for the U.S. Open. Patrick Reed, who hasn't played since the PGA Championship last month, is said to have played the course more often than some of the Shinnecock members.

This is one of the most energy-draining weeks of the year, a product of the mental stress a course like Shinnecock — and a major like the U.S. Open — tends to elicit.

Thomas and Jordan Spieth arrived over the weekend and played practice rounds two days before the official start of practice rounds. They didn't have the course all to themselves, but it felt like it. And it beat the alternative of long rounds when players hit different clubs off the tee, dozens of shots from the rough and closely mown area around the green, putting to all four corners of the green.

Their preparation largely done, official practice days are now light work. That's the Nicklaus way.

“That's why I never wanted to practice then,” Nicklaus said of the early part of the week at the majors. “I got my practice in the week before so I knew what I wanted to do, instead of waiting for everybody else. I didn't like that. So I tried to get my practice in, and go back on Tuesday (of major week). I didn't want to get stuck in that six hours.

“If I had been there the week before, why did I need to get there on Monday?”

McIlroy had limited practice time at the PGA Championship because of a nagging blister on his right toe. But then, he had come to Aronimink two weeks earlier for serious practice.

But there was one image during his practice round when McIlroy had a small army tagging along inside the ropes, from television personalities to equipment staff and photographers. It didn't feel very productive to him.

“Too many people inside the ropes I think is the big part of it,” he said of the long practice rounds at the majors. “I think as well, guys are resigned to the fact that they're going to play nine holes, so it's OK to be out there for three hours. No one plays 18-hole practice rounds anymore the week of (a major). I guess it gives everyone the ability to play slow and hit as many balls as they like.”

Tiger Woods used to have his own routine, playing first to have at least nine holes to himself.

One year at the Masters, he walked out of the clubhouse at 7:25 a.m. toward the first tee unaware of a wooden clock at the tee box indicating the course would open at 8 a.m. Not to worry. His caddie, Steve Williams, moved the hands back a half-hour.

Woods stepped onto the tee at 7:28 a.m., saw the clock and moved the big hand back two more minutes and fired away. He was on the links courses of the British Open around 6 a.m. Anything much later than that meant he had overslept.

Scheffler had a dream day of practice at the PGA Championship before he won at Quail Hollow last year. He was the only PGA Tour player on the course the Sunday before official practice because most everyone else was at two PGA Tour events that day.

Monday through Wednesday can be as slow.

“I don't remember it being as bad as it is,” Thomas said. “The U.S. Open and PGA Championship to me are the worst. It's getting treated more like the range and chipping green. I get that you need to get used it — I totally understand that. But it's gotten to be a lot.”

The wind ushered away overnight rain clouds and bathed Shinnecock in bright sunshine on Monday. Wind and the greens are the greatest defense on this century-old course, and it was a preview of the test that awaits. Wyndham Clark already knew that.

“The one thing today is I actually didn’t do a practice round,” he said. “I came in earlier and did some work. This wind is not the normal wind, so if there’s any time to take a day off, it was today."

Envioscuba.com announced it has stopped taking orders as round after round of U.S. sanctions aim to choke off international support for businesses in Cuba. The latest target Cuba’s state-owned oil and gas company, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel and GAESA, a business conglomerate run by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba that owns a wide range of businesses, from car rentals and retail stores to transportation companies.

Increasingly, it's the most vulnerable who are being punished as Cubans endure shortages of food and medicine, nearly constant blackouts and stifling heat. Many have received help from family and friends in the U.S., who send money and packages from Miami containing appliances, food, and clothing, or purchase products online for delivery in Cuba.

Envioscuba.com said it no longer accepting new orders, but all those previously approved and in process will be delivered.

“Due to reasons beyond our control, our platform can no longer provide services,” the website said, without elaborating. It is not clear exactly when new orders stopped being received.

The AP was unable to contact the company. Its website does not list a phone number to call or an email address to send a message.

Platforms like envioscuba.com were operating directly with Grupo de Administración Empresarial S.A. said Emilio Morales, president at Havana Consulting Group, a Miami-based consulting firm specializing in market strategies for doing business in Cuba.

Most such portals, including envioscuba.com, do not ship products from the United States to Cuba, but rather sell and deliver products stored in GAESA warehouses on the island, Morales said. “The trend is for all of this to disappear, because GAESA is behind it all,” said Morales, who expects other similar portals to shut down as well to avoid being sanctioned for doing business with the Cuban government.

The administration's sanctions threaten to freeze U.S. assets of foreign companies and even prohibit travel by their investors, employees and shareholders — virtually eliminating their activity in the U.S. financial system.

Spanish hotel chain Meliá recently announced it will cease operations at 15 of the 34 hotels it manages on the island, joining a growing list of companies with a long-standing presence in Cuba that are withdrawing or limiting their operations on the island.

Fans of Uruguay and Saudi Arabia arrived early to Miami Stadium for South Florida’s first match as a 2026 FIFA World Cup host.

“I went yesterday to Houston and over there, it was a little bit better,” said Uruguay fan Victor Sepulvida.

Last fall, parking passes were listed for $75, but now they range from $175 to $250, with some hitting the resale market for several hundred dollars.

Added Saudi Arabia fan Walid Chaker: “I took an Uber just to save some money because that’s ridiculous.”

Many attendees already shelled out hundreds, if not thousands of dollars for tickets.

“It’s crazy, even the tickets,” said Chaker. “I think FIFA ripped us off.”

A ticket to park at Calder Casino and then walk a mile and a half to the stadium entrance is going for $170 while parking closer to the stadium can cost as much as $800.

Traffic began backing up near the stadium by the early afternoon.

Parking hacks that spectators use for Miami Dolphins and Miami Hurricanes games are no good for FIFA, with extra fencing and added patrol.

The survival rate for children with cancer has fallen to 65% from 85% before the energy restrictions began in January, according to the report released by Cubadebate. It also said 100,000 children younger than 7 are no longer receiving the daily liter of milk previously provided by the state and that the country’s 16-vaccine immunization program for infants is “at risk.”

Additionally, it said, another 100,000 Cubans are on waiting lists for surgery and the treatment schedules of nearly 3,000 patients requiring kidney dialysis have been disrupted. Regarding medication, 300 of the 395 essential medicines produced on the island are unavailable due to a lack of chemical components required to manufacture medications.

Cuba provides free, universal healthcare, but the system has been pushed to the brink as a result of resource shortages, fuel scarcity and power outages that can last more than 20 hours.

Cuba spent three months without a fuel shipment after the U.S. in January attacked Venezuela, a key supplier, and threatened tariffs on any country that sells or supplies oil to Cuba.

The island was already suffocating under a sharp increase in longtime U.S. sanctions, which prevent it from importing certain goods. The Trump administration demands that Cuba’s socialist government release political prisoners, implement major economic reforms and change its way of governance to avoid becoming a national security threat. Cuba has repeatedly said it poses no threat to the U.S.

As tensions escalate between the countries, United Nations officials have warned of a looming humanitarian crisis. In March, the organization launched an emergency appeal to raise funds for the island, but on Monday said several of its agencies involved with the plan were facing “significant logistical challenges.”

The U.N. said the regional Pan American Health Organization reported delays in shipments of antibiotics and laboratory reagents because of flight cancellations. UNICEF said seven critical shipments of supplies for newborns, valued at $630,000, were stalled in transit, while the World Food Program said 2,900 metric tons of contracted food aid could not be shipped to Cuba because of limitations imposed by shipping lines.

“What we are experiencing now is a unique situation," said Paolo Spadoni, an associate professor at Augusta University in Georgia. “There is no doubt that there were problems with healthcare and basic services in Cuba, but there is also no doubt that these recent events have vastly amplified what was already happening, and that we are now in a different dimension.”

Spadoni acknowledged that Cuba needs reforms and is suffering from systemic failures, but said "it is impossible to deny” that the United States bears responsibility for the “acute humanitarian crisis” unfolding on the island.

Monday's Cubadebate report also stated that about 1,400 megawatts of generating capacity are offline because of shortages of diesel and fuel oil for smaller power plants. It added that larger thermoelectric plants need spare parts that cannot currently be transported.

Additionally, the report said that “logistical and payment hurdles” in wheat purchases have reduced bread supplies to about half of what was available before the energy restrictions and that the lack of fuel has prevented the distribution of 170 containers of essential goods.

“Beyond numbers and coercive measures, the blockade amounts to an extreme and unjustifiable form of collective punishment inflicted on the Cuban people,” the report concluded. ___

As Mexico celebrated its World Cup-opening victory over South Africa on Thursday, Merlin, a 2-year-old duck dressed in the national team’s colors, became an unlikely internet sensation and the tournament’s first unofficial mascot.

Images of Merlin parading through Mexico City, wearing a Mexican national team jersey — and socks — as thousands of fans celebrated, quickly went viral, racking up millions of views across social media. Overnight, and as if by the magic of the famous wizard who inspired his name, Merlin had captivated the internet.

“We want to see Merlin in the stadium,” one user wrote. “This duck is already a national treasure,” said another. “The best thing about the World Cup so far,” declared a third.

In Mexico City, however, Merlin was already something of a local celebrity.

A familiar sight at fairs and events in the historic city center, the duck regularly accompanies his owner, Carla Gómez, who sells water and soft drinks from a little cart each weekend. Along the way, the animal attracts plenty of delighted squeals, affectionate greetings and eager requests from passersby for a photo together.

“We don’t like to leave him alone at home; we like him to be with us. He’s our baby,” Gómez said. “He’s the baby, the sole heir to all my possessions and now an idol.”

Rain or shine, Merlin follows Gómez and her young son Cristian through some of the capital’s best-known landmarks, including Alameda Central, the Palace of Fine Arts and the Zócalo square. The duck shares a particularly close bond with Cristian, for whom he was originally a gift, becoming what Gómez describes as the boy's inseparable companion.

“Merlin had already become famous for selling bottled water,” Gómez said, recalling her surprise at her pet’s sudden rise to fame.

“He is always with us; we never imagined he’d become such a sensation,” she added. “We weren’t expecting it.”

On Monday, Gómez — and Merlin — met with FIFA representatives to shoot photos and a commercial. Now, the family hopes Mexico’s famous feathered supporter can continue bringing luck to the host nation, which is staging the World Cup for the third time after hosting the tournament in 1970 and 1986 — this time a co-host alongside Canada and the United States.

“Mexico, we are with you,” Gómez said. “And Merlin is your No. 1 fan.”

Anthropic said Friday it has taken its latest artificial intelligence models, known as Fable 5 and Mythos 5, offline to comply with the directive. The AI giant said it did not believe the steps taken by the government were warranted by the concern it flagged about a potential security issue.

Anthropic has said it was limiting use of some its latest technology to select customers because of its ability to surpass human cybersecurity experts in finding and exploiting computer vulnerabilities. The San Francisco-based company has had discussions with the White House previously about the latest models' capabilities.

In the letter Sunday, more than 100 cybersecurity experts and leaders from companies including Adobe and Nvidia asked the U.S. government to lift the export control directives on the Anthropic models and “commit to an open, scientific and transparent process of handling AI risk assessments in the future.”

The letter said that while Anthropic’s Mythos models are “quite good" at finding flaws in software and weaponizing exploits, they are ”not uniquely good at these tasks" and many of the letter's signatories regularly use other foundation and open-source models for security audits and training.

The letter said it is dangerous to take away the best cyber defense capabilities “without a good reason” when America's adversaries are rapidly advancing.

China's models, the letter said, are “only months behind the best American models,” and it is even likely that China's government has access to private capabilities beyond what's been made public.

The export controls marked the U.S. government’s most significant step yet to restrict access to the most advanced AI models. Anthropic released Fable widely last week. That model is a limited version of the more advanced Mythos, to which the company has tightly limited access due to cybersecurity fears.

The Commerce Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday.

Friday's directive came 10 days after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish a framework for the federal government to vet the national security risks of the most advanced AI systems for up to a month before their public release. Participation by AI developers would be voluntary, the order said.

Tensions have been running high between the Trump administration and the safety-conscious Anthropic, which has sought to put guardrails on the development of AI to minimize any potential risks and maximize its economic and national security benefits for the U.S.

After a contract dispute with the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sought to declare Anthropic a supply chain risk, an unprecedented move against a U.S. company that Anthropic has challenged in two federal courts. The company said it wanted assurance the Pentagon would not use its technology in fully autonomous weapons and the surveillance of Americans. Hegseth said the company must allow for any uses the Pentagon deemed lawful.

The event is scheduled for this Saturday along Wilton Drive. Local 10 News will air coverage of the events on-air and online beginning at 8 p.m.

Organizers joined Local 10 News on Monday to preview the event.

Ibrahim, formerly known as Dollar Brand, passed away peacefully in Germany following a short illness, surrounded by loved ones, the statement issued on behalf of his family said.

Born in Cape Town, Ibrahim rose to international prominence as a pianist, composer and bandleader. With a career spanning more than seven decades, he forged a unique blend of jazz and South African musical traditions, making him a cultural ambassador whose music struck a chord with listeners worldwide.

As one of South Africa’s most respected jazz figures, he famously played at Nelson Mandela ’s 1994 presidential inauguration.

His final public concert in South Africa took place at the Cape Town International Jazz Festival in March, when he once again captivated audiences with the musical skill that defined his career.

Paying tribute to her partner, Dr. Marina Umari said he “passed away peacefully with South Africa and its people in his heart.”

“His love for his country never wavered, no matter where in the world he found himself,” she said.

His family said that even though his life is over, his influence and voice would continue to resonate around the world.

President Cyril Ramaphosa paid tribute to the musician, praising his contribution to the anti-apartheid struggle and acknowledging his lasting impact through music.

“Today our nation mourns the passing of an international icon and global citizen whose profound creations honored the South Africa that shaped his political commitment and musical brilliance,” said Ramaphosa.

In 2009, Ibrahim received an Honorary Doctorate in Music from Wits University and the Order of Ikhamanga, a prestigious civilian award, from former President Jacob Zuma in the same year.

Alan Winde, the mayor of the Western Cape, where Ibrahim’s hometown is located, honored the performer and commended him for capturing South Africa’s cultural richness and history in his music.

“South Africa has lost a legend,” Winde said. “Abdullah Ibrahim represented everything that makes South Africa and the Western Cape so remarkable. His music told the story of our unique cultural diversity and past.”

According to his family, Ibrahim will be laid to rest in the German state of Bavaria, where he lived.

Monday has some spotty showers and thunderstorms, but even fewer storms are in the forecast every day for the rest of the week. Each day we will be mostly dry with just isolated showers around. We don’t have another bump in rain chances until the weekend. The heat will be the focus over the next week.

Strider, who had been placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday, had a consultation with Dr. Keith Meister before they decided on four weeks. Strider will have another MRI at the end of that period and would begin “throwing progression” if tests showed the inflammation had cleared, the team said.

Strider left Friday's 7-5 loss at the New York Mets in the fourth inning due to right shoulder and elbow soreness. Braves manager Walt Weiss said the team also was concerned about a dramatic decline in Strider's velocity.

Strider has a history of arm problems. He underwent Tommy John surgery in 2019 and had the UCL in his right elbow repaired with an internal brace in April 2024.

Rookie right-hander JR Ritchie, who pitched in relief behind Strider on Friday, will move into the rotation and has been scheduled to start Wednesday night's game against San Francisco.

Strider allowed six hits, including three homers, and a season-worst seven earned runs in three innings on Friday.

Strider was making his eighth start of the season for the first-place Braves after missing the first 34 games recovering from a strained left oblique. He is 4-2 with a 5.31 ERA this season.

Strider led the major leagues with 20 wins and an Atlanta-record 281 strikeouts in 2023.

The Braves activated catcher Drake Baldwin from the injured list on Monday. Baldwin was placed on the IL on May 19 with an oblique injury. Catcher Austin Wynns was sent outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Safety Major Burns is Miami’s newest addition, while the team has released guard Kion Smith and waived/injured tackle Carter Warren.

Burns had a strong season with the UFL’s Houston Gamblers, recording 45 tackles and four interceptions while defending eight passes. He previously was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Chicago Bears after playing four years with LSU.

Smith had played 23 games with the Dolphins, including two starts, between 2023 and 2025, following two seasons with Miami’s practice squad.

The Dolphins brought Warren in earlier this year on a one-year deal after he’d spent two seasons with the New York Jets, playing in 14 games and starting six.

Division of Elections Director Carol Beecher, in a letter sent to the challenger Sullivan, said she concluded that his declaration of candidacy “was not filed in order to declare an actual good-faith candidacy for the office of United States Senator, but was instead filed with a purpose to confuse or mislead and to thereby compromise the ballot’s fairness or neutrality.”

The challenger can appeal the ruling, she said, while noting ballots are due to be printed June 28.

A text message seeking comment from Sullivan, the challenger, was not immediately returned. He previously said he anticipated making a decision on whether to pursue an appeal by early this week.

In a social media post Sunday, he said he “met the qualification and I entered this race because I am unhappy with the 12 year record of the current Senator and I feel we need a change. It’s that simple.”

It’s been a whirlwind chain of events in one of the nation’s most prominent U.S. Senate races, one both parties consider crucial to controlling the chamber.

The kerfuffle was set off by the challenger Sullivan filing days before the June 1 candidate deadline. Sen. Sullivan and Republicans called him a “sham” candidate and alleged he was working with Democrats to boost Democratic former U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola’s chances in the race. Both the challenger Sullivan and Peltola’s campaign have denied the allegation.

Republican Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom a week ago announced an investigation into the challenger Sullivan’s run, citing “credible allegations” that he declared his candidacy “in coordination with another candidate and campaign” with an intent to confuse and “manipulate” voters. The announcement followed a letter that had been sent to her and Beecher by an attorney with the National Republican Senatorial Committee, outlining those claims.

Later, two complaints seeking to disqualify the challenger were filed by Alaska Republican Party Chair Carmela Warfield.

Sullivan, a 69-year-old retired teacher from the small, southeast Alaska fishing community of Petersburg, has said he’s done nothing wrong and insisted that Dahlstrom lacked a legal basis to exclude him from the ballot. He said in a recent interview he has been weighing a run for years and called sharing a name with Sullivan a “matter of fate.”

“The Lieutenant Governor’s job is to oversee elections fairly and impartially,” he said in a statement last week. “Instead, her actions create the impression that the state government is being used to protect an incumbent senator from facing competition at the ballot box.”

In her letter, the election director did not mention finding any evidence of alleged coordination with Peltola or Democratic Party officials. But she outlined details she said led her to conclude that the challenger is ineligible.

They include that he had registered to vote as Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. and in conjunction with his candidacy changed his party affiliation to Republican, an affiliation he had not had previously. She also cited similarities between his campaign website and the senator’s and his work with a consultant whose clients have included some Democrats.

The work on his behalf by the consultant “is, in isolation, innocuous.” But she said that, taken with the other details, it “suggests a determined effort and a deliberate attempt to use the similarity of your name to confuse Alaska voters."

The form candidates fill out asks them how they'd like to be referred to on the ballot — including any nicknames — and the party affiliation they want on the ballot. In the earlier interview, the challenger told The Associated Press he was motivated to register with the GOP in part by his late father, whom he described as a “true, compassionate, conservative Republican.”

Sen. Sullivan's campaign manager, Billy Mackey, lauded the lieutenant governor, who oversees elections in Alaska, as upholding the right to “a free and fair election.”

Sen. Sullivan, who is seeking a third term, and Peltola are the highest-profile candidates in the crowded race and the only ones so far to report raising any money.

Democrats have targeted the seat in their push to regain the majority in the chamber.

On Friday, protesters gathered outside the Division of Elections office in Juneau, opposing efforts to remove the challenger Sullivan from the ballot. Among them was Ben Muse of Juneau. He said he felt the issue could have been addressed using middle initials to distinguish between the candidates but had been “blown way out of proportion.”

“This has nothing to do with whether you support this guy as a candidate,” he said. “It’s supporting his right to be on the ballot.”

Aerial footage showed virtually nothing left of the aircraft that went down around 11:20 a.m. during a routine test mission at Edwards Air Force Base, which is north of Los Angeles. Black smoke rose from a large swath of charred desert near the runway on the base, with emergency vehicles nearby.

Those on the B-52 included government contractors and uniformed military. Aircraft manufacturer Boeing confirmed Monday evening that two of its employees were on board.

After reviewing footage of the crash, it was determined that no one could have survived, Col. James Hayes, the deputy commander for the 412 test wing at Edwards, said at a news conference.

“We lost eight great Americans,” Hayes said, adding that officials were working to notify their families.

It was not immediately clear what caused the crash, and it could take up to six months to complete an investigation, Hayes said, but shared that the B-52 was supporting the “radar modernization program.”

The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range bomber that entered service in 1955. Designed to carry both conventional and nuclear weapons, it has been used in conflicts involving the U.S. military from Vietnam to Iran.

In 2025, Boeing sent a B-52 to Edwards with a new, modernized radar system. A test team planned to conduct ground and flight test activities on the aircraft throughout 2026 to feed a production decision, the air force said in a 2025 news release. The modern Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar system replaced the aircraft’s antiquated radar for efficacy. It was unclear if that was the same aircraft involved in Monday’s crash.

Edwards Air Force Base is home to a large portion of the U.S. Air Force’s aircraft test and development efforts and is about 100 miles (161 km) north of Los Angeles. The 412th Test Wing, which runs the base, also conducts developmental testing of all Air Force aircraft, weapons systems, software and components before purchase by the service as well as throughout their lifespan.

The vast desert base is where Air Force test pilot Chuck Yeager reached a speed of Mach 1.05 and broke the sound barrier in 1947.

The airfield was closed most of Monday and all inbound aircraft were being diverted, but it reopened to people coming onto the base by late afternoon. Non-commercial visitor passes for the base were suspended as emergency crews doused the flames.

It’s too soon to say what might have happened.

Air Force Secretary Troy Meink said he is deeply saddened by the lives lost.

“We mourn this loss and honor the service of our Airmen, civilians, and contractors who work every day to advance our mission,” he said in a post on X.

The way the B-52 crashed so quickly after takeoff without getting very high or going far makes aviation safety expert Jeff Guzzetti suspect some kind of flight control malfunction.

It’s possible the controls were rigged wrong after maintenance, he said, or a catastrophic engine problem or a failure of a piece of equipment that was being tested.

“I think it was definitely a controllability issue. Now, whether that was tied to an engine failure, a flight control failure, or some new testing device failure, I’m not sure,” said Guzzetti, who used to investigate crashes for both the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board.

Although the Air Force has been flying B-52 bombers for more than 70 years, testing out new equipment on a plane can create new challenges.

“A flight test is always riskier than normal operations, so that’s why you have specially trained test pilots, and you should have other safety protocols,” Guzzetti said.

In recent years, fatal Air Force training accidents in the U.S. have included an instructor pilot who was killed in 2024 when the ejection seat activated while the aircraft was still on the ground in Texas and an Air Force ROTC cadet's death in a 2022 accident involving a Humvee during a training exercise in Idaho. Two Air Force pilots were killed when a trainer jet crashed near an Alabama airport in 2021.

Toropin reported from Washington, D.C. AP Transportation Writer Josh Funk in Omaha, Nebraska, and AP reporters Hallie Golden in Seattle and Jennifer Kelleher in Honolulu contributed to this report.

El cantante estadounidense Oliver Tree figuraba entre los nombres incluidos en la lista de pasajeros presentada ante las autoridades de aviación para uno de los helicópteros que se estrelló en el estacionamiento de una concesionaria de autos, aunque la policía aún no confirma que su cuerpo haya sido hallado en el lugar del desplome.

La policía confirmó la muerte de Gaspar Prim Díaz —un creador de contenido argentino conocido como Gaspi, con más de 2,8 millones de seguidores en YouTube—, de otro argentino, Lucas Vignale, y de tres brasileños —Lucas Brito, Charles Marsillac y Alexandre Souza—. El cadáver de un extranjero aún no había sido identificado.

Un error humano podría haber provocado la colisión entre los dos helicópteros, declaró a los periodistas el lunes en el lugar de la caída el investigador de la policía de Río de Janeiro Alan Luxardo. Agregó que las autoridades investigaban si los controladores de tráfico aéreo o uno de los pilotos fue responsable del choque.

Tree, de 32 años, visitaba Río como parte de una gira mundial que incluía paradas en Argentina, Brasil, Portugal y España. El sábado, el cantante y comediante había publicado un video cómico en que se veía a Tree jugando al fútbol en un barrio brasileño.

Algunas celebridades comenzaron a publicar homenajes a Tree el domingo, entre ellas Jake Paul, un promotor conocido por enfrentarse a boxeadores profesionales en peleas muy publicitadas, quien calificó al cantante como “una de las personas más amables y divertidas del mundo”.

Drew Binsky, un creador de contenido conocido por visitar todos los países del mundo, escribió en Instagram que Tree le había pedido consejos de viaje porque el cantante también quería visitar todos los países.

“Acabábamos de hablar hace unos días y yo planeaba mostrarle Praga dentro de tres semanas”, escribió Binsky. “Se ha convertido en un gran amigo mío y, sinceramente, es una de las personas más amables y positivas que he conocido”.

El canal argentino de streaming Blender agradeció a Gaspi por su arte en una publicación en X.

“Cada uno de nosotros te va a extrañar”, expresó Blender.

Esta historia fue traducida del inglés por un editor de AP con ayuda de una herramienta de inteligencia artificial generativa.

Tras el escrutinio de más del 98% de las actas electorales y mientras el Jurado realizaba el conteo de los sufragios sobre los cuales alguno de los partidos había realizado impugnaciones, Fujimori, de Fuerza Popular, sumaba 50.052% de apoyo, mientras que Sánchez, de Juntos por el Perú, lograba 49.948%, según el cómputo preliminar de la Oficina Nacional de Procesos Electorales (ONPE), la organizadora de los comicios del 7 de junio.

El balotaje de Perú es el más ajustado de tiempos recientes. En los comicios presidenciales de 2021, Pedro Castillo venció a Fujimori por más de 44.000 votos y en 2016, Pedro Pablo Kuyczynski ganó a la dirigente política por más de 41.000 sufragios, mientras en 2011, Ollanta Humala se le impuso por más de 447.000 papeletas.

La semana pasada el Jurado estimó que el resultado estaría listo en un mes, aproximadamente el 7 de julio, pero durante la jornada la vocera del Jurado, Grecia Rentería, dijo que el “plazo máximo de proclamación sería mediados de julio”. Según la ley el nuevo presidente debe iniciar sus funciones el 28 de julio por cinco años.

El Jurado tiene que resolver poco más de 1.600 actas de votación observadas en las mesas electorales.

Los seguidores de Sánchez, un aliado del sentenciado Castillo —quien gobernó entre 2021 y 2022—marcharon de forma pacífica la semana pasada por Lima para “defender su voto”. El progresista pidió anular 400.000 sufragios del extranjero indicando que hubo irregularidades en el traslado a Perú, pero su pedido fue rechazado por el Jurado.

Mientras se producía el lento conteo, Fujimori, hija del fallecido y condenado expresidente Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000), dijo el sábado en su cuenta de X que salió al extranjero acompañando a su hija mayor Kyara en un viaje “estrictamente familiar”, pero que seguirá en comunicación con su equipo.

Las misiones observadoras internacionales de la OEA y la Unión Europea coincidieron en que la segunda vuelta presidencial de Perú se desarrolló sin incidentes.

La demora en el conteo de votos se debe a una ley electoral que exige que cada cédula de votación y cada acta —que resume los votos de cada mesa— deben ser transportadas hasta más de un centenar de oficinas en el territorio nacional para su conteo. A eso se suma el reconteo de votos y la resolución de impugnaciones.

El aumento de la delincuencia, en particular la extorsión, fue la principal preocupación de los votantes en estos comicios.

Newsom, a longtime political rival of the Republican president, said in a video posted on X that federal agents have knocked on the doors of his friends and former employees, and have asked for records. Newsom didn't provide specifics on the nature of the probe, but his office said the inquiry appears to have recently expanded into “increasingly personal matters involving the Governor's family and professional network.”

“Donald Trump isn’t just coming after me because of my mean tweets,” Newsom said, referencing his use of social media to mock Trump. “He’s coming after me because I’m considering running for president, because he hates that I’ve consistently called him out over and over again for his lies and deceit.”

The full details of any Justice Department inquires related to Newsom were not immediately clear. But the revelations were likely to escalate accusations from critics that the Trump administration is using the law enforcement agency as a weapon to go after the president's political opponents.

A person familiar with the matter denied the existence of an investigation specifically targeting the governor, but said there are multiple federal probes into people around him, including one related to his wife’s taxes. That probe began last year, and political leadership in Washington was not involved in the decision to open it, said the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss ongoing investigations.

Another probe is related to Newsom’s former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, who was indicted on federal charges that she was involved in a scheme to steal campaign money from former federal Health Secretary Xavier Becerra. Williamson in May pleaded guilty to charges including conspiracy to commit bank fraud. That investigation, which was launched by President Joe Biden's Justice Department, has expanded to include other staff, the person familiar with the matter said.

Newsom hasn't been accused of any wrongdoing related to Williamson’s case.

The Justice Department declined to comment Monday. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche declined to answer questions about Newsom during a brief photo opportunity with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, on Capitol Hill Monday afternoon. Blanche had a scheduled meeting with Grassley to discuss his nomination to become attorney general.

Trump's Justice Department pursues his critics

They are the latest Justice Department investigations surrounding one of Trump’s political foes.

The Justice Department has also opened investigations into or brought prosecutions against former FBI Director James Comey,New York Attorney General Letitia James, former CIA director John Brennan and former Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, among other perceived political enemies of the president.

“One by one, anyone who has challenged Donald Trump has ended up on his hit list, and today I proudly join that list,” Newsom said in the video.

Investigators have subpoenaed records, and agents have reached out to organizations and people connected to the governor and his wife, according to Newsom's office. The governor's office accused the Justice Department of “searching for a crime that does not exist.”

Newsom's office said it heard last week that federal agents had ramped up their efforts and were asking people tied to the governor and his wife about a range of issues, including their businesses, finances and personal matters. His office said it filed a public records request Monday seeking messages to or from Justice Department leaders mentioning Newsom or his wife during Trump's second term.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the governor’s wife, said the investigation showed that Trump is unfit for office.

“There are clearly no boundaries to what Donald Trump will do to get his way or to challenge those who get in his way,” she said in a statement.

The president has repeatedly gone after the Democrat-dominated state during his second term including by curbing a signature plan to reduce planet-warning emissions from cars, withholding aid for wildfire recovery and suing over state policies supporting transgender student-athletes. The state has pushed back by suing the federal government dozens of times.

Newsom also led a push to counteract a Trump-backed effort in Texas to redraw congressional districts to favor Republicans by championing a successful redistricting measure in California designed to win Democrats five additional House seats.

That’s because embassy officials say there’s a “lack of enforcement of safety regulations,” which has led to crashes and reports of sexual assaults.

According to the embassy, multiple American woman have reported being sexually assaulted by Jet Ski operators over the past few years.

“Some victims reported that male jet ski operators sexually assaulted them after soliciting them for Jet Ski rides from the small islands just east of Paradise Island, downtown Nassau and Paradise Island beaches,” the embassy states. “This includes the area from Junkanoo Beach to Saunders Beach and Cabbage Beach.”

The rapes happened on “isolated islands near Nassau.”

Six Americans have been hospitalized from personal watercraft crashes since 2024, according to the embassy.

Because of the risks, U.S. government employees working in the Bahamas are prohibited from renting Jet Skis on New Providence and Paradise islands, the embassy states.

The embassy warned Americans to be wary of solicitations from Jet Ski operators in and around Nassau.

La representación diplomática explicó que la recomendación responde a la falta de aplicación de las normas de seguridad, una situación que ha derivado en accidentes y denuncias de agresiones sexuales.

Según la embajada, varias mujeres estadounidenses han denunciado haber sido víctimas de agresiones sexuales por parte de operadores de motos acuáticas en los últimos años.

“Algunas víctimas informaron que operadores de motos acuáticas las agredieron sexualmente después de ofrecerles paseos desde pequeños islotes ubicados al este de Paradise Island, así como desde las playas del centro de Nassau y Paradise Island”, señala el comunicado. “Esto incluye el área comprendida entre Junkanoo Beach, Saunders Beach y Cabbage Beach.”

De acuerdo con la embajada, las violaciones ocurrieron en islas aisladas cercanas a Nassau.

Además, indicó que seis ciudadanos estadounidenses han sido hospitalizados desde 2024 tras sufrir accidentes en motos acuáticas.

Debido a estos riesgos, los empleados del gobierno de Estados Unidos destinados en Bahamas tienen prohibido alquilar motos acuáticas en las islas New Providence y Paradise Island, señaló la embajada.

Finalmente, la representación diplomática exhortó a los ciudadanos estadounidenses a desconfiar de las ofertas de paseos realizadas por operadores de motos acuáticas en Nassau y sus alrededores.

La tasa de supervivencia de niños con cáncer es del 65% respecto al 85% que se registraba antes del cerco energético que comenzó en enero, indicó un informe dado a conocer por el portal oficial Cubadebate.

Además, hay 100.000 menores de siete años que no están recibiendo el litro de leche que el Estado les entregaba cada día, mientras que el programa de inmunización con 16 vacunas que protege a los infantes “está en riesgo”, agregó el documento.

Otros 100.000 cubanos de todas las edades están en una lista de espera para recibir cirugías y casi 3.000 que necesitan hemodiálisis tienen afectados sus esquemas de tratamiento.

En cuanto a los medicamentos, del cuadro básico de 395 que se producen en la isla están en falta 300 por carecerse de insumos farmacéuticos y se vio limitada la producción de reactivos diagnósticos.

Cuba tiene un sistema de salud público, gratuito y universal y la falta de recursos, la carencia de combustible y los cortes de energía de más de 20 horas están golpeando duramente al sector.

Secuelas del cerco energético

Cuba pasó tres meses sin recibir ningún envío de combustible después de que Estados Unidos atacara a principios de enero Venezuela, uno de sus principales proveedores, y amenazara con imponer aranceles a cualquier país que vendiera o suministrara petróleo a Cuba en el marco de sus presiones por un cambio de modelo político y económico en la isla. La situación ha ocasionado una semiparalización en todos los sectores.

El gobierno de Estados Unidos ha acusado al cubano de ser inoperante y fallido, al tiempo que amenazó con acciones militares para tomar la isla.

Cuba produce el 40% de su combustible y hasta el cerco energético importaba el resto a Venezuela, México o Rusia.

El informe indicó que unos 1.400 megavatios de capacidad de generación eléctrica no pueden ser producidos debido a la falta de diésel y el fuel oil para pequeñas plantas, mientras que la grandes termoeléctricas necesitan piezas de repuesto cuyo transporte se encuentra bloqueado.

Indicó además que las “trabas logísticas y de pago” en la compra de trigo han provocado que solo se pueda entregar a la población el 50% de pan que recibía antes del cerco energético. En tanto 170 contenedores con “productos esenciales” no pueden ser distribuidos por falta de combustible.

Por otro lado, la entrega de 11.000 toneladas de alimentos básicos del Programa Mundial de Alimentos enviados a Cuba se demora y “varias docenas” de contenedores pertenecientes a UNICEF y PNUD están varados en el puerto.

Funcionarios de Naciones Unidas han advertido a The Associated Press de una posible crisis humanitaria. La organización internacional lanzó a fines de marzo un plan de emergencia para captar fondos para la isla.

El lunes, la ONU informó en relación al plan de emergencia que su Organización Panamericana de la Salud reportaba retrasos en los envíos de antibióticos y reactivos de laboratorio debido a la cancelación de vuelos; la UNICEF tenía siete cargamentos críticos —suministros para recién nacidos— por valor de 630.000 dólares paralizados en sus embarques y 2.900 toneladas métricas de alimentos ya contratados por su Programa Mundial de Alimentos (PMA) que no podían viajar a Cuba por las limitaciones de las navieras.

Paolo Spadoni, profesor asociado en el Departamento de Ciencias Sociales de Augusta University, en Georgia, dijo a AP que “lo que estamos viviendo ahora es una situación única”. “Que en Cuba había problemas en la salud y en los servicios básicos no hay dudas, pero que estos últimos acontecimientos han amplificado demasiado lo que ya estaba pasando y que estamos en otra dimensión, tampoco”.

Según el experto “Cuba necesitaba reformas” y tuvo “fallas sistemáticas”, pero es “imposible negar” que Estados Unidos tiene responsabilidad en “la crisis aguda que hay en términos humanitarios” actualmente.

Dos navieras, la francesa CMA y la alemana Hapag-Lloyd, dejaron de aceptar pedidos desde y hacia Cuba. La canadiense Sherritt International detuvo sus operaciones mineras; líneas aéreas como Turkish Airlines, Iberia, Air Canada, Air France y World2Fly cancelaron sus rutas a la isla; las cadenas españolas Meliá e Iberoestar cerraron sus contratos con 15 y 12 hoteles respectivamente y la canadiense Blue Diamond optó por retirarse de la isla, enumeró el informe.

Los bancos en el extranjero que procesaban las cuentas de Visa y Mastercard interrumpieron su operación.

Sara Carter, the director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, sent an open letter Monday to WADA and its stakeholders. It comes a day before an “extraordinary meeting” of the WADA executive committee at which it will discuss recommendations from a “working group” put together in the wake of a doping case involving Chinese swimmers.

Carter derided what she said was the “unjustifiable exclusion” of U.S. authorities from the meeting. WADA spokesman James Fitzgerald said the U.S. wasn't invited due to its government's refusal to pay its WADA dues, which is part of a bigger feud between the U.S. and the global anti-doping regulator stemming from the China doping saga and a long-running scandal involving Russia.

“The working group’s objective and recommendations are designed to strengthen the independence and credibility of the anti-doping process, including at major events,” Fitzgerald said.

Among the group's recommendations would be to transfer some testing responsibilities to an independent agency and away from the hands of a host-country anti-doping agency. For the LA Olympics in two years, that could weaken the role of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, which has fought WADA hard over its handling of the Russian and Chinese affairs.

"The robust and vigorous participation of NADOs in the anti-doping ecosystem is of particular importance to the United States as we strive to ensure the cleanest Olympic and Paralympic Games ever,” Carter wrote.

Fitzgerald said Tuesday's meeting is only to discuss the recommendations and no action is planned.

According to an arrest report from the Pembroke Pines Police Department, the crash, which involved two vehicles, occurred at about 7:45 p.m. on Jan. 23 in the 8300 block of Pembroke Road.

Police said Ryan Erick James, of Pembroke Pines, was driving a blue 2018 Hyundai Sonata when he struck a raised curb, lost control of his car, causing it to rotate, and then struck the passenger side of a red 2016 Honda Civic.

Police said James’ car then rolled several times before coming to a rest upside down.

According to the report, James was not wearing a seatbelt, and the driver of the Civic was.

Police said the airbags deployed in the Civic and its driver was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital with serious injuries, including a multiple area brain bleed, swelling and a facial fracture near the right eye.

James, who was in and out of consciousness when he was pulled from his car by first responders, was hospitalized with injuries that included a rib and lower back fracture, the report stated.

According to the report, blood was drawn from James at the hospital, which showed he had blood-alcohol levels of 0.141 percent and 0.185 percent.

The investigation revealed he was driving 93 mph just 5 seconds before the crash and 60 mph at the moment of impact, while the victim was driving 5 mph five seconds before impact and 0 mph at the time of impact, the report stated. The posted speed limit in that area is 45 mph, authorities confirmed.

According to the report, James was involved in a hit-and-run in Miramar and Pembroke Pines prior to the crash.

He now faces charges of DUI causing serious bodily injury to another, DUI causing damage to property/person, leaving the scene of a crash involving damage to property, and unattended vehicle at the scene of an accident without leaving identification.

As of Monday afternoon, James was being held at the Broward County Main Jail on a $44,300 bond.

De acuerdo con un informe de arresto del Departamento de Policía de Pembroke Pines, el choque, en el que estuvieron involucrados dos vehículos, ocurrió alrededor de las 7:45 p.m. del 23 de enero en la cuadra 8300 de Pembroke Road.

La policía indicó que Ryan Erick James, residente de Pembroke Pines, conducía un Hyundai Sonata azul modelo 2018 cuando golpeó un bordillo elevado, perdió el control del vehículo, comenzó a girar y posteriormente impactó el lado del pasajero de un Honda Civic rojo modelo 2016.

Tras la colisión, el vehículo de James dio varias volteretas hasta quedar volcado sobre el techo.

Según el informe, James no llevaba puesto el cinturón de seguridad, mientras que el conductor del Honda Civic sí lo utilizaba.

La policía informó que las bolsas de aire del Civic se activaron y que su conductor fue trasladado al Memorial Regional Hospital con lesiones graves, entre ellas múltiples hemorragias cerebrales, inflamación y una fractura facial cerca del ojo derecho.

James, quien entraba y salía del estado de conciencia mientras era rescatado de su vehículo por los equipos de emergencia, fue hospitalizado con lesiones que incluían fracturas en una costilla y en la parte baja de la espalda, según el reporte.

De acuerdo con la investigación, en el hospital se le realizaron análisis de sangre que revelaron niveles de alcohol de 0.141 % y 0.185 %, muy por encima del límite legal.

El informe también señala que James circulaba a 93 millas por hora apenas cinco segundos antes del accidente y aún iba a 60 millas por hora en el momento del impacto. La víctima, por el contrario, conducía a 5 millas por hora cinco segundos antes del choque y estaba detenida al momento de la colisión.

Las autoridades confirmaron que el límite de velocidad en esa zona es de 45 millas por hora.

La investigación también determinó que, antes del accidente, James estuvo involucrado en dos incidentes de choque y fuga, uno en Miramar y otro en Pembroke Pines.

Ahora enfrenta cargos por conducir bajo la influencia del alcohol (DUI) causando lesiones corporales graves, DUI con daños a la propiedad o lesiones a una persona, abandonar la escena de un accidente con daños materiales y dejar un vehículo involucrado en un accidente sin proporcionar información de identificación.

Hasta la tarde del lunes, James permanecía detenido en la cárcel principal del condado de Broward con una fianza fijada en 44,300 dólares.

“No vamos a traicionar la lucha, la decisión de nuestras bases el fin de semana es de continuar la lucha y vamos a reforzar las protestas”, dijo desde la zona del Chapare el dirigente cocalero Vicente Choque.

La Administradora Boliviana de Carreteras reportó el lunes menos cortes de ruta que la semana pasada. Varias carreteras fueron despejadas y comenzaron a ingresar más alimentos a La Paz, aunque sus precios se mantienen elevados.

Pero todavía se observan kilométricas colas de coches en estaciones de servicio debido a que la escasez de combustibles es crítica, según conductores de vehículos que deben dormir en la fila para abastecerse.

En el resto del país la situación es de relativa normalidad.

Paz dijo el sábado que varios bloqueos de rutas fueron levantados “gracias a la voluntad de dialogar, dejando atrás la confrontación y la conspiración” y aseguró que estaba ingresando combustible.

El conservador gobernante ha descartado utilizar el uso de la fuerza o declarar el estado de excepción para evitar que el conflicto se profundice.

La llegada de Paz al poder en noviembre del año pasado marcó un cambio de ciclo político tras 20 años de gobiernos de izquierda que, según el mandatario, dejaron al país “en la quiebra”.

Morales, que gobernó entre 2006 y 2019, redobló la apuesta desde su feudo cocalero del Chapare. “No vamos a levantar los bloqueos hasta ganar esta batalla…vamos a continuar en la lucha porque abandonar sería dejar que el gobierno siga vendiendo Bolivia”, declaró el expresidente durante el fin de semana.

El gobierno acusa al dirigente indígena de alentar las protestas presuntamente para desestabilizarlo y lograr impunidad. Morales resiste en el Chapare una investigación judicial por presunto abuso de una menor cuando era mandatario.

El sindicato rural Tupac Katari decidió por su lado mantener los bloqueos en el altiplano de La Paz, aunque su líder, el campesino indígena David Mamani, admitó que se percibe “un debilitamiento y un cansancio en las protestas”.

La Central Obrera Boliviana, que lideró desde un primer momento las movilizaciones, también se ha debilitado y muchos de los sindicatos que la integran se han replegado, entre ellos los obreros.

Las protestas comenzaron el 1 de mayo con demandas salariales de la COB y quejas por la gasolina de mala calidad que importó el gobierno. Fueron escalando hasta pedir la renuncia de Paz, al que los movilizados acusan de dilatar soluciones para resolver la peor crisis económica del país en 40 años y de inclinarse a favor de sectores conservadores en detrimento de los populares que apoyaron su ascenso al gobierno.

Organizaciones de derechos humanos han reportado el fallecimiento de 17 personas, la mayoría por causa de los bloqueos carreteros y tres durante operativos para despejar rutas. Cerca de 4.000 camiones todavía permanecen atrapados, según la Cámara del Transporte.

A su vez, la Cámara Nacional de Industrias estimó pérdidas por más de 2.000 millones de dólares.

A McDonald’s customer had attacked her as she worked at the fast-food restaurant’s drive-thru window in Tamarac, according to the deputy’s report.

Tamarac Fire Rescue personnel responded to treat the victim at 2:25 p.m. on June 9 at 8375 North Pine Island Road, according to the report.

Deputies searched for a suspect in a two-door silver Mercedes-Benz and arrested Shalonda Walls shortly before 7:40 p.m. on June 9, according to the report.

Surveillance video showed Walls, of Pompano Beach, “reaching through the drive-thru window” during the attack, a deputy wrote, according to the report.

Walls “provided a full confession,” a deputy wrote, according to the arrest report.

Walls faced a charge of burglary with assault or battery, according to court records. She was released on June 10 on a $1,500 bond. Broward County Circuit Judge Peter Holden was presiding over the case.

The 18-karat gold World Cup trophy that replaced it was stolen in 1983 in Brazil. The winners have been awarded a gold-plated replica since.

FIFA usually keeps the trophy, designed by Italian artist Silvio Gazzaniga, in Zurich. It made a rare 8-hour appearance on Monday in downtown Miami.

The coveted trophy was under a clear case from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Freedom Tower, at 600 Biscayne Boulevard.

El trofeo que lo reemplazó, elaborado en oro de 18 quilates, también fue robado en Brasil en 1983. Desde entonces, los equipos campeones reciben una réplica bañada en oro.

La FIFA suele resguardar el trofeo actual, diseñado por el artista italiano Silvio Gazzaniga, en Zúrich. Sin embargo, este lunes hizo una rara aparición pública de ocho horas en el centro de Miami.

El codiciado trofeo estuvo exhibido en una vitrina transparente de 10:00 a.m. a 6:00 p.m. en la Freedom Tower, ubicada en 600 Biscayne Boulevard.

La exhibición forma parte de “Unidad – The World’s Game”, una muestra temporal de la FIFA que reúne objetos históricos relacionados con el fútbol e instalaciones interactivas.

Entre sus principales atractivos destaca el “Rainbow of Shirts” (Arcoíris de Camisetas), una instalación que exhibe las camisetas de las 211 asociaciones miembro de la FIFA.

Mientras tanto, el FIFA Fan Festival permaneció abierto hasta las 9:00 p.m. en el cercano Bayfront Park.

Por otro lado, el Miami Stadium, también conocido como Hard Rock Stadium, en Miami Gardens, será sede este lunes del primero de los siete partidos que albergará durante el Mundial 2026. El encuentro está programado para las 6:00 p.m.

Los aficionados de Arabia Saudita y Uruguay tendrán la oportunidad de ver por primera vez a sus selecciones nacionales competir en la fase de grupos.

La entrada a la exhibición del trofeo en la Freedom Tower es gratuita, aunque es necesario reservar boletos en línea para ingresar al museo. Para obtener más información, los interesados pueden consultar la página de FeverUp.

Newcomer Curacao is expected to travel some 5,300 miles (8,600 kilometers) back-and-forth from its base in Florida to games in Houston, Kansas City and Philadelphia. Bosnia-Herzegovina will rack up nearly 5,200 miles (8,400 kilometers) across Canada and the U.S. while going from its base in Utah to games in Toronto, Los Angeles and Seattle.

The biggest World Cup ever has brought some logistics challenges to the 48 teams in the tournament being played across three countries and four time zones.

“We just have to live with it because that’s what others planned for us,” Czech Republic coach Miroslav Koubek said through a translator after a 2-1 loss to South Korea in Guadalajara last Thursday. “We’re happy to be here and we want to have the best possible results. Our logistics behind the scenes is good, but of course it’s not ideal that we have to travel that much.”

Turkey coach Vincenzo Montella said “this is the reality, we have to adapt.”

His squad trains in Arizona, about 1,200 miles (1,930 kilometers) from Vancouver, where it opened with a 2-0 loss to Australia.

“Of course after the match we’ll be back at 5 o’clock in the morning, and it’s not easy to recover, especially for people my age,” the 51-year-old Montella said through a translator ahead of the match. “After a night out you know it takes a few days to recover. America is big, Canada is very big. Mexico is big. We have to adapt. I know these things you can’t change. You can’t choose. You just have to adapt so you don’t have any excuses.”

Host teams on the move

Canada’s squad had to fly nearly five hours to cover the more than 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) between Toronto and Vancouver after its opener. The U.S. team will travel nearly that distance in total while going back-and-forth between its training camp in Irvine, California, and its games in the Los Angeles area and Seattle. Mexico is expected to travel less than 600 miles (965 kilometers) within the country.

The England team is set to travel the most among the main title contenders, having its camp in Kansas City and playing games in Dallas, Boston and New York. Spain will have to fly nearly four hours from its base in Atlanta to a match in Guadalajara.

Argentina and France, the finalists at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, face fewer travel challenges. Argentina is based in Kansas City, where it will open its title defense before playing two matches in Dallas. France has its camp in Boston. It will play one game there and the other two in Philadelphia and New York.

FIFA has long recognized the logistic challenges for the World Cup scattered across North America. It tried to separate teams in geographical clusters where they are based and where they will play most of their matches.

Lengthy traveling was a non-issue at the previous World Cup in Qatar, which is roughly the size of Connecticut and is smaller than Switzerland. But teams faced similar travel challenges in 2018 in Russia and 2014 in Brazil.

High altitude also a factor

South Korea’s squad doesn’t have to leave Mexico for its group matches, but does have to deal with the high altitude both in Mexico City (about 2,200 meters, 7,200 feet) and Guadalajara (about 1,500 meters, 4,900 feet).

The South Koreans did specific training to adjust to the altitude, and coach Hong Myung-bo said it “helped a lot” but still wasn’t enough.

“In the second half, I think we could see that everyone was very tired,” Hong said after his team’s come-from-behind win over the Czech Republic.

Heat and humidity could also become an issue for many teams training and playing in U.S. cities such as Houston, Dallas, New York and Miami.

Brazil forward Vinícius Júnior complained of the conditions after the 1-1 draw with Morocco on Saturday in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

“Because of the weather, the heat, the field dries up too quickly and the game gets really stuck and we can’t have game rhythm. That makes it difficult for us because we want to play, we want to move the ball from side to side, and that gets in the way of our game,” he said. “But we’re going to have to adapt because I believe it’s going to be like that for the whole competition where everyone is going to have the same field of play.”

American singer Oliver Tree was among those listed on the passenger list filed with aviation authorities for one of the helicopters that crashed into the parking lot of a car dealership, although police did not yet confirm his body was found in the crash.

Police confirmed the death of Gaspar Prim Díaz — an Argentine content creator known as Gaspi with more than 2.8 million followers on YouTube — another Argentine Lucas Vignale and three Brazilians — Lucas Brito, Charles Marsillac and Alexandre Souza. The body of one foreigner was not yet identified.

Human error might have led to the collision between the two helicopters, Rio de Janeiro police investigator Alan Luxardo told reporters Monday at the crash site. He added that authorities were investigating whether air traffic controllers or one of the pilots was responsible for the crash.

Tree, 32, was visiting Rio as part of a world tour that included stops in Argentina, Brazil, Portugal and Spain. On Saturday, the singer and comedian had published a comical video where Tree was seen playing soccer in a Brazilian neighborhood.

Some celebrities began to publish tributes to Tree on Sunday, including Jake Paul, a promoter known for taking on professional boxers in highly publicized fights, who called the singer “one of the most kind and funny people in the world.”

Drew Binsky, a content creator known for visiting every country in the world, wrote on Instagram that Tree had come to him for travel advice because the singer also wanted to visit every country.

“We just spoke a few days ago and I was planning to show him around Prague in three weeks,” Binsky wrote. “He has become a great friend of mine and is genuinely one of the kindest and most positive people I've ever met.”

Argentine streaming channel Blender thanked Gaspi for his art in a post on X.

“Every one of us will miss you,” Blender said.

Cody Campbell, the billionaire booster who is chairman of the Texas Tech regents, wrote in an open letter Monday night that Sorsby will not be part of the team.

“This decision was made with Brendan and his family and is purely an output of practical analysis of the situation,” Campbell wrote. “Brendan and Texas Tech stand on very solid and legitimate legal ground, but he faces a June 22nd deadline to be eligible to enter the NFL’s supplemental draft, and there is no practical way to resolve all the various pending legal disputes and ensure his eligibility prior to this date. This is the only viable and fair path for Brendan and his future, as well as for his teammates, and our university.”

That came exactly one week before the deadline for Sorsby to apply for the NFL supplemental draft.

And it was also one week after Sorsby was granted a temporary injunction against the NCAA, an order that sent shockwaves through college sports since one of the NCAA’s foundational rules, and one found in many professional sports as well, is the ability to ban players for gambling — especially those wagering on their own team.

All of the legal wrangling had raised the stakes in the fight over whether Sorsby could play and who would decide that.

Sorsby's decision came on the same day that the NCAA and Big 12 had filings in separate courts challenging a temporary injunction that had cleared the way for the 22-year-old quarterback to play despite being declared ineligible after he admitted making thousands of bets worth at least $90,000 while in college. Those included at least 40 bets on Indiana while he was a freshman there in 2022, though none on the game in which he played for the Hoosiers that season.

Sorsby did not play a down for the defending Big 12 champion Red Raiders. He transferred to Texas Tech in January for a reported multimillion-dollar deal after playing the past two seasons for Cincinnati, another Big 12 school. The Texas native was at Indiana in 2022 and 2023.

Campbell, while not revealing any figures, said Texas Tech will not seek the return of any payments already made to Sorsby through his NIL agreements with the university.

While it was Sorsby and not Texas Tech who filed the suit against the NCAA that resulted in the injunction, school officials had repeatedly said he would better off on the team for his mental health and well being.

“I pray that he can stay on his path to recovery," Campbell wrote. “Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey.”

Court testimony revealed that Sorsby has a diagnosed addiction and anxiety-driven compulsion. He recently completed a monthlong stay in a residential treatment program in Arizona that he entered only after the start of an NCAA’s investigation earlier this year.

The ruling last week by Judge Ken Curry prevented the NCAA from being able to block the QB’s eligibility for what would have been his final college season with a team among the favorites to win the Big 12 Conference and return to the College Football Playoff for a second consecutive season.

The NCAA's appeal

In documents filed Monday with the Court of Appeals for the Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo, the NCAA asked for an emergency motion to stay the June 8 injunction. The NCAA had also asked for a resolution of the case by Aug. 28, which it said would spare the potential disruption of a ruling after Texas Tech begins its season on Sept. 5. The trial was scheduled for February, well after the season ends.

“The trial court’s temporary injunction sweeps beyond anything Texas law permits,” attorneys for the NCAA wrote. “It undermines the integrity of college sports, rewrites member-adopted rules of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, immunizes Brendan Sorsby from discipline for admitted and serial violations of NCAA anti-gambling rules, incentivizes a run on courthouses across the country to challenge even the most obvious and straightforward student-athlete eligibility decisions and demolishes the status quo.”

Big 12 goes to federal court

The Big 12, meanwhile, filed suit in U.S. District Court in Dallas seeking a court order backing its ability to use its bylaws for possible sanctions against Texas Tech if Sorsby had played this season. Last week, the Texas attorney general’s office warned the league of potential legal action from Texas Tech for any such sanctions.

The Big 12 filing names Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Republican nominee in the U.S. Senate race this fall, as well as Texas Tech leadership, including its president, chancellor and athletic director. It accused them of trying to prevent the Big 12 from exercising its own rules the school itself agreed to long ago. Sorsby wasn’t named as a defendant.

“An athlete with an extensive, documented history of wagering on intercollegiate athletic contests — especially his own team’s games — presents a reputational and integrity risk to the conference and its championship competition that the conference has both the right and the responsibility to address,” attorneys for the Big 12 wrote. “The conference is not required to accept that risk on behalf of its 15 other member Institutions, their student-athletes, their fans and its commercial partners. And no government official has the power to compel it to do so.”

That came before a meeting Monday of the Big 12 board of directors, which is made up of presidents and chancellors from the league’s 16 schools.

In a statement by the board after that meeting, the Big 12 said it “has long spoken out about the dangers of sports wagering by student-athletes and remains committed to protecting the competitive integrity of conference competition. Universities should not field players who have bet on their own team’s games in college athletics.”

Big 12 athletic directors in a conference call with Commissioner Brett Yormark last week expressed opposition to Sorsby playing for the Red Raiders this season, and some even suggested maybe not playing Texas Tech if he does.

Según el Departamento de Policía de North Miami Beach, la presunta agresión sexual ocurrió alrededor de las 11:30 p.m. en el apartamento de la pareja, ubicado en la cuadra 13700 de Northeast 20th Lane.

El informe policial señala que la víctima, su amiga y el esposo de esta, Juan José Hernández, de 53 años, habían estado bebiendo y bailando en la sala esa noche. La víctima llevaba poco más de una semana visitando a la pareja en el sur de Florida.

La policía indicó que la mujer se quedó dormida en el sofá, mientras la esposa de Hernández salió del apartamento para fumar un cigarrillo. Según el reporte, al regresar encontró a su esposo presuntamente violando a su amiga, por lo que le gritó de inmediato y lo apartó físicamente de la víctima.

El informe agrega que la víctima nunca dio su consentimiento y despertó al escuchar los gritos de su amiga, dándose cuenta de que Hernández la estaba agrediendo sexualmente. Según su declaración, lo empujó de inmediato para quitárselo de encima.

La esposa de Hernández llamó enseguida a la policía.

De acuerdo con el informe, Hernández afirmó que la víctima se había quitado el pantalón de su pijama mientras bailaban y que se había acercado físicamente a él. Sin embargo, negó haber mantenido relaciones sexuales con la mujer y negó que ella hubiera estado dormida en algún momento del encuentro.

Los agentes arrestaron a Hernández, quien enfrenta un cargo de agresión sexual. Hasta el lunes, los registros de la cárcel de Miami-Dade indicaban que el monto de su fianza aún no había sido fijado, a la espera de su comparecencia ante un juez esa misma tarde.

The justices will hear arguments in the fall in the case of Hamed Kian, who argues that a six-person jury violates his constitutional rights.

Florida uses six-person juries for all criminal cases that don’t involve the death penalty. Five other states, Arizona, Connecticut, Indiana, Massachusetts and Utah, also conduct some criminal trials with six-member juries.

The 45-year-old Kian’s license was suspended after three women who were his patients complained he either kissed or touched them inappropriately, according to court records.

Prosecutors sought an indictment after amassing evidence that Kian, who had an office in Jupiter, continued to see patients even after the suspension. He was convicted by a six-person jury.

Kian's lawyers argue that the smaller jury violates the Sixth Amendment, which guarantees “a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state.”

The amendment does not explicitly set the size of the jury, but Kian's lawyers contend that the word jury could only have meant a body of 12 people at the time the amendment was adopted in 1791. Just over 100 years later, the Supreme Court ruled that juries had to have 12 people.

But in 1970, the justices changed course and ruled by a 7-1 vote that the number 12 was not sacrosanct, also in a case from Florida. Justice Thurgood Marshall was the only dissenter.

More recently, the court has placed renewed emphasis on the original understanding of the Constitution. In another Sixth Amendment case, the court ruled in 2020 that juries must be unanimous in criminal cases, effectively overturning a 1972 decision that had allowed for non-unanimous convictions in criminal cases in Louisiana and Oregon.

“The same reasoning applies to the historical right to a jury of twelve,” Kian's lawyers wrote in their appeal to the court to step in. “When the People enshrined the jury trial right in the Constitution, they did not attach a rider that future judges could adapt it based on latter-day social science views.”

In trying to persuade the Supreme Court to leave Kian's conviction in place, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier wrote that the 1970 case was correctly decided and “overruling it also would imperil thousands of criminal convictions in Florida and five other states that for more than 50 years have relied on its rule.”

Judge Andrew Fishkin’s ruling likely ends a monthslong ordeal for the California woman, one of thousands adopted from abroad who were never granted citizenship because of bureaucratic loopholes between adoption and immigration law.

The woman has lived in the United States since she was adopted by American parents as a toddler and has no criminal record. The Associated Press is not naming her because she worries her legal situation remains tenuous as the administration has time to appeal. A federal judge has allowed her to use a pseudonym, “Ms. S,” in her challenge to the government’s determination of her immigration status.

The woman received a letter from the Department of Homeland Security in February that ordered her to appear for removal proceedings, saying she is eligible for deportation because she overstayed her visa in March 1974 at 4 years old.

The woman, 56, described what came next as a terrifying and humiliating few months.

She grew up in a Christian, military family on a farm in Wisconsin and was taught to be patriotic. But the documents she received from the government described her as an “alien;” some said she did not understand English, which is the only language she speaks.

Immigration officials told her she was being arrested, but released and tracked with an ankle monitor. She bought new pants to try to hide it and taught herself not to cross her legs in work meetings, terrified it would threaten the corporate job in healthcare she’s held for almost two decades.

They fingerprinted her and took her DNA. She said she was obviously weeping in the mug shot they snapped of her.

She prepared herself to be detained: she put her bills on autopay and gave her friends a key to her home.

Her lawyer, Emily Howe, said the government had the power to agree she is an American citizen.

“Instead they treated her like a terrorist, like she was the worst of the worst criminals," Howe said. "It felt very Big Brother, very Orwellian."

The Department of Homeland Security declined to comment on the record on an individual case.

The Associated Press profiled the woman in 2024 as part of a story about how many international adoptees were left without citizenship because their American adoptive parents failed to naturalize them.

The woman's parents were living in Iran, where her father was working for a U.S. government contractor, in the 1970s. He was retired from the Air Force as a lieutenant colonel. He'd been held for years a prisoner of war in Germany during World War II.

The couple found the toddler at an orphanage and returned to the U.S. with her in 1973 and soon completed the adoption. At that time, parents had to separately naturalize adopted children. The woman’s parents have since died.

She didn’t learn she hadn’t been naturalized until she applied for a passport at 38 years old. She still doesn’t know how the oversight happened. She searched her father’s papers and found a letter from a lawyer, dated 1975, that said he was working with immigration officials, “it appears this matter is concluded,” and billed her father for his services.

She filed a federal lawsuit earlier this month, trying to prohibit the government from removing her, and forcing it to grant her citizenship.

She has long believed she should be considered a U.S. citizen: she has a social security card, a driver’s license and has been legally allowed to work and pay taxes for decades. It’s only the immigration agency that denies she is a citizen. She suspects her paperwork was lost, likely when militants seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979.

Fishkin seemed to agree: he wrote in his ruling that documents from that embassy are not available to her or to the U.S. government. He declared her a refugee, entitled to work in the U.S. His ruling puts the woman on a pathway to being recognized as a citizen.

She’d felt hopeful, she said, when she learned her court date before Fishkin was scheduled for her late father’s birthday. She always felt like she needed to protect not only herself, but also her father's legacy. He was a conscientious military official, she said, who would not have knowingly allowed such a glaring oversight that left his daughter in legal limbo.

New York has reached the WNBA Finals in each of those seasons, winning once and losing once. The Liberty players didn't want to think that far ahead after clinching their spot Sunday in the mid-season tournament title game. Still it's hard to ignore the success considering New York has won seven straight games and finally had their entire roster healthy for the victory over Washington.

The Commissioner's Cup first started being played in 2021 and one or both teams have gone to play for the WNBA championship three times — in 2022-24. New York beat Las Vegas in 2023 before losing to Minnesota the next season in the Commissioner's Cup finale. The Liberty avenged that loss by beating the Lynx for their first WNBA championship later that season.

“It’s a pretty high number of teams that go to the Commissioner’s Cup championship that play in the (WNBA) finals,” Liberty center Jonquel Jones said.

New York is still waiting to see who and where it will play. Las Vegas was routed by Dallas on Monday night and is tied with Minnesota atop the Western Conference. The Aces have the tiebreaker with the Lynx after beating them the other day. Las Vegas plays Phoenix on Wednesday and Minnesota vists Los Angeles.

The first tiebreaker for determining who would host the championship game is regular-season winning percentage through Wednesday night. The second one is point-differential in Commissioner Cup games.

Behind the scenes

ESPN will show a four-part series on the Toronto Tempo and how the first WNBA team outside of the United States was built from the ground up.

“With the incredible growth of the WNBA and women’s basketball, this is the perfect time to showcase the launch of Canada’s first WNBA franchise,” said Lindsay Rovegno, Vice President & Executive Producer, ESPN Originals. “Setting the Tempo presents a rare opportunity for fans to see what it truly takes to build a successful organization, shining a spotlight on the female executives whose decisions and vision are laying the foundation for the future.”

Power poll rankings

Las Vegas takes over the top spot after edging Minnesota 100-97 on Saturday night. The Aces were followed by the Lynx, New York, Atlanta and Dallas. Golden State, Indiana and Los Angeles were next.

Tiny Cape Verde, making its debut at the World Cup, pulled off a stunner, holding heavily favored Spain scoreless in a 0-0 draw on Monday.

“This means everything for our country," Cape Verde coach Pedro Leitão Brito said. “We have always said that we wanted everybody to see our country, our team and we have shown organization and braveness and this is proof of what our country is about — resilience and to try to overcome hardships.”

European champion Spain is one of the favorites to win the tournament and was -1200 to beat Cape Verde. But it could not find a way past a 40-year-old goalkeeper and a stubborn defense that had an answer to everything Spain’s superstars threw at them.

Not even sensational teenager Lamine Yamal, who came in off the bench in the second half, could turn a game that ended with wild and emotional celebrations inside the stadium.

“A dream" was how Cape Verde defender Steven Moreira described it.

Veteran goalkeeper Vozinha broke down in tears after the final whistle following his impressive performance to keep Spain at bay.

He was the player of the match, pulling off a string of saves at the end of the first half to deny Ferran Torres, Pedri and Aymeric Laporte.

The closest Spain came to finding a breakthrough was when Torres struck the bar shortly before halftime.

“We should have won today’s match with everything that happened, with all the favorable situations we created, but we lacked freshness and a clinical edge," said Spain coach Luis de la Fuente, who had warned before the match that Cape Verde could be one of the surprise teams of the World Cup.

Spain could have been the victim of an even bigger upset when Diney Borges had a late chance to score, but saw his header saved by Spain keeper Unai Simon.

Add Cape Verde to Cameroon, Senegal and Saudi Arabia on the list of teams that have pulled off shocking results against soccer's giants in the World Cup.

Cameroon beat defending champion Argentina in 1990 and Senegal beat defending champion France in 2002. Four years ago, Saudi Arabia triumphed against Lionel Messi's Argentina, which went on to win the tournament in Qatar.

Cape Verde didn't win, but its performance rebuked some of the criticisms that the expansion of the World Cup from 32 teams to 48 would weaken the tournament.

The group of islands off Africa's West coast have about 4,000 square meters (about 2.5 miles) of landmass and approximately half a million inhabitants, making Cape Verde the third-smallest nation by population to qualify for the World Cup. And even against a loaded Spain roster, Cape Verde proved its worth on soccer's biggest stage.

Despite the majority of the 67,640 crowd inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium appearing to be Spain fans, it was the Cape Verde supporters who cheered loudest. They continued their celebrations after the final whistle, singing and dancing in the concourses.

“All of us, we are happy because we work a lot to be here. We deserve to be here," Vozinha said.

The 2010 champion Spain is aiming to win the World Cup for a second time and is coming into the tournament after winning the Euros in 2024. But a disappointing start echoes its performances in recent World Cups. Spain has failed to advance beyond the round of 16 in each of the last three editions.

“What doubts do you think my team is going to have? Zero doubts," De la Fuente said. “We know how difficult this competition is. The idea we need to follow is what took us here and what made us European champions.”

Spain plays Saudi Arabia on Sunday and Cape Verde faces Uruguay.

According to an arrest report from the Miami Police Department, a Miami Fire Rescue crew and police officers responded to the 2900 block of Southwest 30^th Court at about 2:47 a.m. on Oct. 21, 2025, in reference to a battery.

When officers arrived, they found the victim, Alisa Marie Toth, 65, sitting on the sidewalk and bleeding from the back of her head, authorities said.

According to a separate arrest report from October, the victim appeared to be under the influence of “some stimulant,” and Jacob Kohlhas, who was standing near the fence of his home when first responders arrived, told police he went outside and told Toth that he did not want her in front of his house and then pushed her.

The victim fell backwards and struck her head on the sidewalk, causing a laceration to the back of her head, the report stated.

Police said the victim was unable to provide a statement to them due to her condition.

According to Friday’s arrest report, Kohlhas had called 911 and told them the victim had fallen on the sidewalk, which led the dispatcher to transfer the call to fire rescue, deeming the incident a “medical call.” But police said officers were called to the scene due to statements Kohlhas allegedly made to the fire rescue dispatcher after the dispatcher asked how the victim had fallen.

The victim was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital where doctors discovered that she had suffered a traumatic brain injury and had a subdural hematoma, which caused internal bleeding in the head, the report stated.

According to the report, Kohlhas was initially arrested Oct. 21 on an aggravated battery charge.

Police said on Nov. 1, the victim was declared brain dead and she died at the hospital on Nov. 6.

An autopsy report later confirmed that Toth had died from blunt injuries of the head and the manner of death was ruled a homicide, authorities said.

Kohlhas was then taken into custody Friday on a second-degree murder charge.

Police said he declined to make another statement to detectives without first speaking with an attorney.

As of Monday morning, Kohlhas was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center without bond.

The sheriff's office in Grand County, Utah, confirmed one of the dead was Andy Lewis, an extreme athlete known for feats in BASE jumping, a dangerous sport that involves parachuting to the ground after jumping from a tall fixed object such as a building, a bridge or a desert cliff overlooking a deep canyon.

In BASE jumping circles, Lewis had a huge following and a reputation for pushing the envelope — leaping into tighter spaces or deploying his parachute later than his peers would dare, said John McEvoy, a BASE jumping instructor in Twin Falls, Idaho, who has jumped with Lewis.

“He had an incredible level of athleticism and skill that was developed over years of practice,” McEvoy said. “But then he would take an incredible amount of risk.”

Grand County Sheriff Jamison Wiggins confirmed the other person who was killed was Danny Joe Kregle, a father and grandfather who was an accomplished businessman.

“Danny had a wonderful sense of humor and was always looking for ways to make people laugh," Sydney Laverty, a family member, told The Times-Independent. “One of his greatest joys was performing magic tricks alongside his granddaughter.”

Lewis' other sport made him an overnight celebrity, thanks to Madonna

Lewis was also a prominent figure in the niche sports of slacklining and tricklining, which combine elements of high-wire walking with aerial acrobatics — sometimes at perilous heights.

Lewis went from obscure athlete to overnight celebrity when he appeared onstage in Madonna’s 2012 Super Bowl halftime show. Dressed in a Roman toga, Lewis bounced and executed tricks on his inch-wide line like it was a trampoline while Madonna sang behind him.

“My phone actually rang itself to death three days in a row,” Lewis said soon afterward in an appearance on Conan O’Brien’s late night show.

Emergency responders were dispatched Sunday to a report of people injured in a BASE jumping attempt at Mineral Bottom, a remote desert area near the Utah-Colorado line, according to the sheriff's office.

Sheriff's Lt. Al Cymbaluk confirmed to The Associated Press that it was Lewis the extreme athlete who died. He said he had no further details on the fatal accident.

BASE jumping is far more dangerous than skydiving

Though there's no official tally of BASE jumping deaths, a list compiled by the website BASEaddict.com shows 540 total fatalities worldwide since 1981 — including 30 people killed last year. Prominent deaths include BASE jumper Dean Potter and his climbing partner, Graham Hunt, who were killed in 2015 while attempting a wingsuit flight in California's Yosemite National Park.

A study focused on BASE jumping in Norway, published in a medical journal in 2007, estimated that BASE jumping carried risks of injury or death five to eight times greater than skydiving.

Lewis openly acknowledged the sport’s inherent danger.

“It’s weird to think about how many people are dead, because it’s like a normal thing,” Lewis told documentary filmmaker Ella Warnick in an interview published last year.

Lewis owned BASE Jump Moab, a business that offered excursions to inexperienced customers using tandem jumps, in which the customer was harnessed to a guide wearing the parachute.

Sheriff's spokesperson Cymbaluk said he didn't know if Lewis and the other man killed were performing a tandem jump.

Tandem BASE jumping carries additional risk because it straps together two people, one of whom generally lacks experience, under a single parachute, McEvoy said. But because they involve novices, they also tend to be the most low-risk, basic types of jumps.

“Within BASE, it’s a very controversial topic,” McEvoy said. "There’s a lot of people who say it's the stupidest thing in the world and others arguing: `No, we’re giving people the experience of their lives.'”

No one immediately returned phone, text and Facebook messages left Monday for BASE Jump Moab.

Lewis won four straight world championships in competitive slacklining from 2008 through 2011. Lewis set a Guinness World Record for slackline surfing, swaying his feet side to side in a rocking motion that mimics surfing, while keeping his balance above China's Diaoshuilou waterfall in 2011.

In 2014, he walked a slackline suspended between two hot air balloons more than 4,000 feet (1,200 meters) above the Nevada desert.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team did not announce the deal, which was first reported by ESPN.

Splitter, 41, joined Chauncey Billups’ staff in Portland last June. He was elevated from assistant to interim coach when Billups was arrested in October in a federal takedown of a sprawling gambling operation. Billups has pleaded not guilty to charges of wire fraud and money laundering.

Splitter coached Portland to a 42-40 record and a five-game loss to San Antonio in the first round of the playoffs. It was the first playoff appearance and first time the Trail Blazers finished with a winning record since the 2020-21 season.

Splitter played for San Antonio, Atlanta and Philadelphia during his seven seasons as an NBA player. The 6-foot-11 center from Brazil was selected by the Spurs in the first round of the 2007 draft, and he helped the team win an NBA title in 2014.

He worked for Brooklyn for five seasons from 2018-23, first as a pro scout and then as an assistant coach. He was an assistant for Houston for one year before coaching Paris Basketball Club to a French Cup championship during the 2024-25 season.

Splitter would replace Billy Donovan, who resigned after six seasons. The Bulls had conversations with Donovan about returning, but he decided to step aside rather than work with a new front office.

Chicago allowed 121.5 points per game this season, ranking 28th overall in the NBA. The Bulls finished with a 31-51 record while missing the playoffs for the fourth straight year.

Bryson Graham was hired as Chicago’s executive vice president of basketball operations on May 4. Stephen Mervis and Acie Law IV joined the team’s revamped front office on May 19.

But the Qatar edition went poorly for Portugal’s all-time leading goal scorer. After scoring just once, from the penalty spot, in the group stage, he reacted angrily to being subbed off against South Korea and was promptly dropped to the bench for his team’s first knockout-stage match against Switzerland.

Then, he didn’t score at all in the 2024 European Championship. It was the first time he had failed to find the net at a major international tournament.

Now, in the buildup to what may be Ronaldo’s World Cup swan song, concerns over what the 41-year-old can still bring to the national team are at the forefront of many fans’ minds. Portugal opens play Wednesday against Congo DR in Houston.

“I think in some instances they play better without him,” fan Zach Mallias said at the team’s first open World Cup practice at its Florida base camp. “There are other players that fit the system better.”

Other fans are worried about the superstar’s ego and whether he would accept relinquishing the spotlight for the good of the team.

“He’s a very big player, he’s very loved by a lot of his fans,” Beatrice Mitankin said. “It might get to his head.”

There is some recent evidence, however, of Ronaldo still being able to positively influence games. During Portugal’s 2025 UEFA Nations League run, its second title triumph in that competition, he scored eight goals, including an equalizer in the final against Spain.

Ronaldo also recently won his first Saudi Pro League title with Al-Nassr, leading his club with 28 goals on the season.

His abundant experience and leadership are qualities some supporters say cannot be replicated.

“He’s not going to shy away from those moments when it’s the World Cup on the line,” Rob Stickle said. “He’s one of those guys you want kicking the penalty kicks for you, being on the pitch at the end of the game.”

Ronaldo, playing in a record-extending sixth World Cup, is the oldest outfield player in the tournament but still projects as Portugal’s starting striker.

Although his age has repeatedly been called into question, fan Ernesto Vilar pointed to other examples of older players, like Argentina’s Lionel Messi and Croatia’s Luka Modrić, as veterans who still play significant roles for their team.

“Age is just a number,” Vilar said. “He’s still in very peak physical condition.”

His teammates and manager would concur.

Midfielder Vitinha is still in awe over Ronaldo’s physique.

“He’s 41. I’m 26, and I’m not like that,” the Paris Saint-Germain player said through a translator. “It’s something incredible.”

Team manager Roberto Martínez has suggested Ronaldo could even appear at the 2030 World Cup, when he would be 45.

Removed from the conversation about Ronaldo’s production and effectiveness, however, are a group of fans that will always idolize him: young children. Many showed up to watch Portugal practice.

Elizabeth Stiebel, 10, says she admires how Ronaldo has always been there when his team needs a big moment.

And 13-year-old Christian Loureiro, whose favorite Ronaldo moment is his overhead-kick goal against Juventus in 2018 while playing for Real Madrid, agrees the superstar forward is still a steadying voice.

“A lot of young players on this team need an older figure to help guide them,” Loureiro said.

The Israeli leader said at a news conference Monday that “with an agreement, without an agreement,” he would continue fighting to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, which Tehran has long maintained it isn't trying to do, saying its nuclear program is for civilian purposes.

"As long as I am the prime minister of Israel, it will not happen,” Netanyahu said, emphasizing that the deal was struck by the United States, not Israel, and that he didn't budge on Iran's request that Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon be part of the pact.

“Iran wanted us to withdraw from there, but that did not happen. Do you know why it didn’t happen, among other reasons? Because I stood very, very firm,” he said.

But other Israeli government officials, rivals, politicians and commentators were quick to criticize the preliminary deal, marking a sort of informal referendum on the premier’s tenure ahead of elections this fall and underscoring his deepening isolation at home, in the region and, increasingly, from the United States.

Critics say Netanyahu led President Donald Trump into the war with Iran while overpromising what it could achieve, and Trump now might be dragging Israel out of the conflict before it feels ready. They say the prime minister misjudged Trump's appetite for a protracted conflict, was outflanked by Iran in negotiations and grew increasingly sidelined by the region's other major players.

“Israel is paying the price of Netanyahu’s hubris and blindness, and the price of the manipulations that he tried to pull on Trump," former Prime Minister and Netanyahu rival Ehud Barak said in an interview with Israel's public broadcaster Monday. “Iran emerged stronger; Israel emerged weaker. That is Netanyahu’s strategic responsibility. He failed.”

Yair Lapid, who will challenge Netanyahu in the upcoming elections, wrote Sunday that the deal, which would extend the tenuous ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran and lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, was shaping up to be “one of the most shocking failures in Israel’s foreign and security policy ... entirely registered in Netanyahu’s name.”

“It can be fixed, it must be fixed,” he wrote. “Netanyahu can no longer fix it, we will do it.”

Iran deal could hamper Israel's operation in Lebanon

Even though Israel isn't party to the deal, it finds itself in something of a quagmire, in part because it invaded southern Lebanon after Iran-backed Hezbollah fired missiles at northern Israeli towns during the first week of the war.

Since negotiations began, Iran has insisted that any deal to wind down the U.S.-Iran front include a cessation of Israeli hostilities in Lebanon. But on Monday, Defense Minister Israel Katz vowed to keep troops in Lebanon.

As negotiations progressed and Trump increasingly sought a way out of war, he grew furious over Israel’s strikes in Beirut, warning they could jeopardize an agreement. In the end, the president decided to end the Iran conflict, even if it curtailed Israel's options in Lebanon.

That has left Netanyahu in a precarious situation. His relationship with Trump may require downscaling a military campaign in Lebanon that is widely popular in Israel.

“All Hezbollah has to do is get one rocket across into an Israeli town in northern Israel, and then the pressure on Netanyahu — which he’s already hearing from his own base and from the opposition ... will ramp up," said Daniel Shapiro, former U.S. Ambassador to Israel and a Distinguished Fellow at the Atlantic Council.

“It’s going to be very hard to resist that," Shapiro said. "And that gives a lot of power to control this dynamic to Hezbollah, and essentially to Iran.”

Indeed, some of the more hawkish members of Netanyahu’s ruling coalition have slammed the new deal and urged the prime minister to continue the Lebanon campaign, even if it upsets the U.S. and risks scuttling the agreement.

“We must not compromise on anything less than the dismantling of Hezbollah,” Israel’s ultranationalist national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, wrote on X.

Israelis say Netanyahu did not meet his war goals in Iran

In Lebanon, the deal left the future of Israel's campaign uncertain. But in Iran, the deal tied Netanyahu's hands before he met his war goals.

Netanyahu and the U.S. launched the war on Feb. 28 with the aim of destroying Iran’s nuclear ambitions. But nearly four months later, after Iran withstood a withering aerial campaign, Tehran is in a much stronger position, analysts and critics say. It's proxy network survives and is still able to fire missiles into Israel.

Tehran has been able to exert control over the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important waterways, choking global trade and driving up prices for basic needs worldwide. It is also unclear how much damage was done to Iran's nuclear infrastructure and ballistic missile program.

“Israel believes that the war delayed the Iranian nuclear program, but did not change its objectives,” political commentator Anna Barsky wrote for Ma'ariv, a major Hebrew daily newspaper. She said Israeli officials are also worried that under its deal with the U.S., Iran could receive a major influx of cash.

According to three regional officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the negotiations, the agreement is expected to include the phased lifting of sanctions and a release of frozen Iranian assets.

“Trump signs an agreement that funnels billions to the Ayatollahs’ regime, leaves the nuclear infrastructure intact, preserves the ballistic threat as is, and throws a lifeline to the murderous regime in Tehran,” Yair Golan, center-left party leader and former general, posted on X.

According to the North Miami Beach Police Department, the alleged sexual battery happened at around 11:30 p.m. at the couple’s apartment in the 13700 block of Northeast 20th Lane.

The NMBPD report states that the victim, her friend and her friend’s 53-year-old husband, Juan Jose Hernandez, had been drinking and dancing in the living room that night. The victim had been visiting the couple in South Florida for a little more than a week.

Police said the victim fell asleep on the couch and Hernandez’s wife went outside to smoke a cigarette. According to the report, Hernandez’s wife came back and saw her husband raping her friend, “immediately yelled at (him) and physically pulled him away from the victim.”

The report states that the victim “never consented” and awoke to her friend yelling and Hernandez raping her, saying she “immediately” pushed him off.

Police said Hernandez’s wife quickly called the police on her husband.

According to the report, Hernandez claimed that the victim had removed her pajama pants while dancing and pressed against him, but “denied engaging in sexual intercourse with the victim and denied that the victim was asleep at any point during the encounter.”

Officers arrested Hernandez on a sexual battery charge. As of Monday, his bond was listed as “to be set” in Miami-Dade jail records, pending an afternoon court appearance.

Before the war, the strait carried a fifth of the world’s crude oil. Now, it will take time for hundreds of ships trapped in the Persian Gulf to exit through the narrow strait. And Gulf oil producers that throttled back production will need time to get the oil moving again. Analysts also say ship captains may take their time to decide if passage is safe and that the threat of attack from Iran has truly receded.

All told, oil prices, inflation and energy flows simply won’t see an immediate return to what they were before the war — not for weeks or even months. And that's assuming the deal, set to be signed Friday, proves durable. Details hadn't been released.

When will oil start moving again?

Even if the Strait is completely open, it will take time for tankers to enter, load, and make the journey to Asian countries — the chief customers for Gulf oil from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Oman. A trip to Japan and back can take 45 to 50 days.

Captains, insurers and owners may take their time in attempting passage, given the volatile situation.

“Operationally, the sector is not rushing back,” wrote Richard Meade, editor-in-chief of shipping data and analysis company Lloyd's List, noting that many warn mine clearance and a return to use of the internationally recognized transit lanes “are prerequisites for safe navigation. ”

Ships have been trickling out through an Iranian-run vetting lane in the north of the strait, while others have slipped out with lights and location systems turned off under U.S. forces' guidance in a southern passage along the coast of Oman. Iran had threatened to attack ships using the internationally established mid-strait transit lanes that keep inbound and outbound ships out of each other's way.

Some 500 commercial vessels remain in the Persian Gulf, according to maritime and energy intelligence firm Kpler, and they can't all leave through the narrow strait at once.

Amena Bakr, head of Middle East energy and OPEC+ insights at Kpler, estimated that clearing mines would take six months, vessels leaving and returning to reload two to three months, and restarting production in some countries to prewar levels another three months.

What does an ‘open’ strait mean? It's not clear that the US and Iran have agreed

Iran has demanded the right to collect money from ships using the strait, and in some cases has already exacted payment to let ships leave. Trump said on his social media platform Truth Social that the deal involved a “toll free opening," but there's been no confirmation from Iran.

The period between the deal's announcement and signing "gives both sides scope for issuing conflicting statements on the agreement, especially on the extent to which Iran will manage traffic and demand fees,” said Torbjorn Soltvedt, principal Middle East analyst at risk intelligence company Verisk Maplecroft.

Paying tolls would present a quandary for ship owners, since the U.S. and EU have designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization, and the U.S. Treasury has sanctioned the entity Iran has announced to run its collections. Unless those sanctions are modified, paying exposes shippers and banks to sanctions.

Legal experts say allowing Iran to control passage would violate international law on freedom of navigation as set down in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which requires countries to permit peaceful passage through territorial waters. The strait's waters are shared by Iran to the north and Oman to the south.

Oil producers need time to get operations underway again, too

Some producers in the Middle East paused extracting oil from the ground, known as a shut-in, when they ran out of storage space. Restarting those operations can be a slow process.

Countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which were able to export some oil through alternate pipelines or routes besides the Strait of Hormuz, may be among the quickest to resume production, said Alan Gelder, senior vice president of refining, chemicals and oil markets at Wood Mackenzie, an analytics firm.

"Places like Iraq could be much more challenged because they’ve had a much bigger shut-in, their fields are more difficult ... it may well take about a year before they get back,” he said.

Claudio Galimberti, chief economist at Rystad Energy, noted in an emailed comment that “sentiment has clearly improved. But sentiment is not the same as supply.”

“It will take time for production to ramp back up, for logistics to normalize, and for the risk premium embedded in crude prices to dissipate,” he said.

Countries won’t restart until they know there is a durably open strait and that a ceasefire will last more than 30 or 60 days, said Daniel Sternoff, senior fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University.

Economists at Capital Economics estimate that energy flows would reach 80% of prewar levels by September.

Inflation will not drop immediately

Even if the deal reopens the strait immediately, that will not immediately send inflation lower, economists say.

Inflation is ”set to stay above target in most major economies throughout this year and the first half of next, even as growth remains relatively weak,” said Neil Shearing, group chief economist at Capital Economics.

Inflation could even rise when government measures aimed at easing the energy shock expire, Joachim Nagel, the head of Germany's Bundesbank central bank said in a speech Monday.

That includes Germany's temporary lowering of fuel taxes by 17 euro cents per liter, which runs through June 30.

“It will take months for the oil supply to return to normal,” Nagel said.

Christie’s auction house said Monday that it's the first copy of the novel in the publisher’s original cloth binding to be auctioned since 1908. Only about 250 copies of the first edition were printed, and this one has been in a private library since shortly after its publication in 1847.

“The vast majority of surviving copies were rebound for collectors or libraries, meaning original cloth examples are now extremely scarce,” said Christie’s books and manuscripts specialist Mark Wiltshire.

Being sold along with a copy of sister Anne Brontë’s “Agnes Grey,” it’s expected to sell for between 400,000 pounds and 600,000 pounds ($540,000 and $800,000) at a June 30 auction in London. Both books carry the male pen names the sisters adopted to get published: Ellis Bell for Emily and Acton Bell for Anne.

“Wuthering Heights” was rushed to publication after the success of Charlotte Brontë’s “Jane Eyre,” and the first edition is notorious for its typographical errors including, Wiltshire noted, the occasional misspelling of the word “heights.”

Emerald Fennell ’s recent movie with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as mismatched pair Cathy and Heathcliff is the latest work to be inspired by — and take liberties with — Brontë’s brooding, Gothic tale.

The novel shocked some critics when it was published, with one in 1848 decrying its “vulgar depravity and unnatural horrors.”

Since then, Wiltshire said, it has “moved beyond literature to become a cultural touchstone,” inspiring art, music — notably Kate Bush’s pop-operatic 1978 song — and multiple film adaptations.

“It remains a work that artists return to again and again because of its emotional force, its atmosphere, and its psychological intensity, ensuring its place not only in literary history but in wider cultural imagination,” Wiltshire said.

Heads lowered in quiet prayer. Boxes of pizza passed from people in jerseys to people in suits. And Matos — a retired correctional officer with a strictly enforced policy against premature celebration — waited until the final buzzer before leading the shrieking, weeping, chest-thumping crowd through the frenzied streets.

“The camaraderie and craziness is something I’ve never seen in my whole life,” Matos marveled. “These Knicks really got everyone outside.”

The team’s victory Saturday night over the San Antonio Spurs saw moments of mayhem, with dozens of arrests and property damage mostly clustered around Madison Square Garden.

But scenes like the one on Matos’ block were far more common: neighbors and strangers of every age and background, clustered around a TV or projector as their collective stress gave way to an unusual moment of citywide euphoria.

Impromptu dance parties raged until dawn — then continued Sunday, as delirious New Yorkers flocked to the Puerto Rican Day parade, also attended by multiple Knicks players, including Brooklyn native Jose Alvarado.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a Knicks fan himself who has popped up at watch parties around the city, announced the team would be honored Thursday by a ticker-tape parade.

By Sunday night, many New Yorkers were struggling to find a historical comparison to what they were experiencing.

“I was there for the Giants’ Super Bowls, the Yankees dynasty, the Mets in ’86, which was really special. None of that comes even close to this,” said Marlon Rice, a 51-year-old community advocate. “The entire city is on tilt because of the Knicks. I just hope this stays and we can enjoy an entire summer off this vibe.”

That joy had been building for weeks, as the Knicks embarked on a historic playoff run marked by one stunning comeback after another. For fans long accustomed to last-minute heartbreak, processing this new reality seemed to grow into a communal endeavor — requiring a new sort of viewing experience.

To meet that need, unofficial watch parties cropped up across the city streets and parks, gas stations and delis, synagogues, mosques and at least one funeral home — giving residents the chance to watch shoulder to shoulder with fellow fans, without shelling out a month’s rent or more for a ticket.

Hours before tipoff on Saturday, lawn chairs and sound systems were already set up on a street corner facing the facade of a building where a Cuban restaurant’s projection of each game had reliably drawn thousands of people. By then, the phrase “Knicks in 5” had become both standard greeting and farewell among New Yorkers.

The ensuing delirium has upended schedules, added to milestones and bred a strange sense of civic pride. Newborns at Lenox Hill Hospital received Knicks-embroidered hats. The cast of Hamilton ended their performance Sunday with a rendition of Frank Sinatra's “New York, New York.” Bus drivers, firefighters and subway workers are greeted as celebrities, sometimes breaking from their duties to join the celebration.

In one of many viral videos, a pair of sanitation workers allow private citizens to toss bags of trash into their truck, prompting cheers from bystanders.

Rabbi Yakov Bankhalter, the leader of an Orthodox Jewish community space near Madison Square Garden, said his own hastily-scheduled watch party had ended with fans of every faith spinning joyously in the Manhattan streets.

“Wherever you are in New York, it feels like there is nothing but the Knicks,” Bankhalter said on Monday morning. “We’re still in the euphoria. It’s unbelievable. It’s still unbelievable.”

Federal investigators were at the crash site, about an hour south of Kansas City, on Monday, a day after the plane carrying a pilot and 11 skydivers slammed into a field and burst into flames, killing all on board, authorities said.

Some family members of those who died were at the airport to watch the jump and witnessed the crash, said Bates County Sheriff Chad Anderson.

Authorities have not released the victims’ names, but friends and colleagues began paying tribute.

The United States Parachute Association, skydiving's governing body, said its technology director, Jen Sharp, was among those killed.

“Jen was a remarkable force whose passion for the skies was matched only by her dedication to the people in our sport,” said Albert Berchtold, the organization’s executive director.

Sharp taught skydiving instructors, wrote educational materials and made 6,800 jumps since her first one in 1989, according to her website.

She once jumped into Denver's Coors Field ballpark while dressed as the queen of England and was part of the Everest Skydive in the Himalayas, her site said.

Kevin Payne, who had jumped with seven of the skydivers on the plane, said they were all different in nearly every way, except that they were all brought together as a “sky family.”

“There is a joy and peace and freedom to what we do. That’s what most people never understand,” Payne, of Parkville, Missouri, wrote in an email. “It’s not about the adrenaline. It’s about really flying together with your family in that brief, exquisite instant that people who live their lives on the ground will never understand.”

It will be about a month before the National Transportation Safety Board issues a preliminary report, but weather did not appear to be a factor.

Investigators had interviewed some witnesses by Monday afternoon but not the company's owner, NTSB Vice Chairman Michael Graham said. The plane didn’t have a “black box” like those that record flight data on commercial planes, but investigators will examine the wreckage for other clues, he said.

Skydiving plane went down soon after taking off

Witnesses say the plane was roughly 100 feet (30 meters) from the ground when it made an abrupt left turn before crashing.

It appeared to be losing power, and the pilot may have been trying to reach a highway to land when the plane stalled and went down nose first, said Dennis Jacobs, acting airport manager of Butler Memorial Airport. On Monday, Graham said investigators are only beginning to interview all those witnesses and gather photos and videos of the crash, so it's too early to say definitively what happened.

The plane was operated by Skydive Kansas City, he said. The crash site in the small town of Butler is roughly 65 miles (105 kilometers) south of Kansas City.

Skydive Kansas City said in a statement that its team and the skydiving community were in shock.

“This is a devastating loss for everyone connected to Skydive Kansas City and for the wider skydiving community,” the company said. “Our deepest sympathies are with the families, friends, and loved ones of all who were lost.”

Plane made multiple flights over the weekend

The Pacific Aerospace 750XL — a single-engine turboprop plane — is a popular model in skydiving because it’s designed for the sport and can quickly take parachutists to jumping altitudes while using short runways.

This particular aircraft, built in 2010, made nine successful flights in the days before the crash, including two on Sunday morning, according to FlightAware, a digital flight tracking company.

Red flags raised about skydiving oversight

The NTSB has voiced concerns in past crash investigations about whether skydiving operators get enough oversight and inspections to ensure their planes are safe and their pilots are well trained.

The Federal Aviation Administration has yet to adopt the NTSB's recommendations, but said Monday it established a committee in April that will recommend ways to increase skydiving safety and will consider the safety board's proposals.

“It’s always frustrating when we see things the FAA hasn’t acted on,” said Graham, of the NTSB. “And then we continue to see accidents in those arenas.”

The FAA said its inspectors are required to examine certain aspects of skydiving businesses every year, including several safety items related to the aircraft and pilots. But the NTSB said previously that those inspections failed to identify a twisted wing on a skydiving plane that later crashed in Hawaii in 2019 and killed 11 people.

Skydiving businesses can operate under the same FAA rules that apply to any small plane owner as long as their flights don’t venture more than 25 miles (40 kilometers) away. Those rules also cover tourist helicopters and other local flights because the FAA considers those operations less complicated than a charter company or airline.

But all aircraft owners are expected to follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule and recommendations.

The United States Parachute Association said in a statement that Skydive Kansas City adheres to the safety standards set by the largest skydiving organization in the world, including all FAA maintenance requirements.

The skydiving industry says it has a strong safety record. The association said that last year nearly 3.5 million jumps were completed and that 16 civilians died, the majority from human error.

Associated Press reporters Kristen M. Hall in Kansas City, Missouri; Cathy Bussewitz in New York; Rebecca Boone in Boise, Idaho; and Hannah Fingerhut in Des Moines, Iowa, contributed.

Antonio and Maribel Espaillat, the owners of Jet Set nightclub, could face up to 2 years in prison if found guilty.

The April 8, 2025 collapse reverberated across the Dominican Republic, with authorities working frantically for days to reach people under the rubble.

The ruling Monday by Magistrate Reymundo Mejía Zorrilla of the First Court of Instruction of the National District in Santo Domingo drew frustration from victims' relatives who were hoping for homicide charges that carry stiffer penalties of up to 20 years in prison.

The ruling said that the case did not warrant a homicide charge because that would indicate the defendants knew that their negligence would cause the deaths of the victims. But if they could have foreseen the roof collapse, “logic and reason" suggest they would not have endangered their own lives in addition to those of the victims, the ruling said.

About 30 relatives of the victims had gathered at the courthouse ahead of the hearing, holding hands and praying.

Prosecutors have previously accused the Espaillats of trying to intimidate or manipulate employees. Antonio Espaillat is considered a powerful business person, owning upscale entertainment centers and dozens of local radio stations. The Public Prosecutor’s Office has asserted that it has hundreds of pieces of evidence tying the siblings to the collapse.

Hundreds of people including athletes and politicians were at Jet Set when the roof collapsed, attending a concert by singer Rubby Pérez, who was among the victims. Others included former MLB pitcher Octavio Dotel, who was pulled from the debris but died in a hospital.

The Espaillats will be tried together. No date has been set for the trial.

“Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith” comes out Tuesday from Harper, and The Associated Press obtained a copy ahead of its release. The HarperCollins imprint also put out “Hillbilly Elegy,” the best-selling memoir from 2016 that helped make Vance a national figure.

Vance has been working on and off on his new book since then, a tumultuous decade that included a Hollywood movie about his youth, a short stint as a U.S. senator from Ohio and now vice president to Donald Trump.

There's not a lot about Trump or other insider stories from Vance's political years, although he does express regret for criticizing the Democratic Party's “childless cat ladies,” a comment that came back to haunt him while Trump's running mate.

Instead, “Communion” serves as a sort of manifesto for the role of religion in public life. Vance writes about transitioning from Protestant Christianity to atheism to Catholicism, and he credits his faith with giving him a sense of purpose he didn’t get through his education at Yale University or working in the financial industry.

The book hits shelves less than five months before the midterm elections that will shape the final two years of Trump's second presidency. The midterms will also mark the unofficial start of the next presidential campaign, in which Vance is expected to be a contender.

Vance recalled ‘fusion’ between religion and politics

Vance wrote how he witnessed “the fusion between Republican politics and the Christianity of my youth.” At that time, Vance wrote, “I heard a fair amount about the evils of abortion and homosexuality,” as well as then-President Bill Clinton's “rumored moral failings.”

Alongside these religious observations, Vance said he felt he was “starting to witness the beginning of a fissure in the Republican Party: between its business elites and its religious rank and file.” That's something, Vance went on, that would “eventually lead to my election as vice president.”

Vance's grandmother — his mamaw, as he calls her — was a central figure in his life, and her death led to an atrophying of his Christianity.

“With her gone, no one really cared about my faith, and soon I stopped caring, too,” he wrote. Christianity became “completely irrelevant" to him, including when he served in Iraq in the Marine Corps.

At the end of his service in 2006, Vance wrote that he “was no longer, in any real sense, a Christian.”

A near-death experience helped shape Vance's faith

Returning to his military base after his grandmother’s funeral, Vance wrote that he lost control of his car on a rain-slicked road, but inexplicably stopped before hurtling into a guardrail and potentially over the side of a mountain.

He said it was “the closest I've ever come to a supernatural experience," and the feeling remained “even during my later years as a strident atheist.”

As his military service wrapped up, a colleague introduced Vance to the work of author Ayn Rand, whose notion of the virtuousness of selfishness stood "in as stark opposition to Christian morality as anything I'd ever read.” This notion appealed to Vance, he wrote, noting that Rand's philosophy “filled a void left by the faith I'd discarded” and that he became a “self-professed atheist and meritocrat.”

“I didn't care about God's will,” he wrote. “I cared about my own.”

‘I will marry this girl’

Immediately struck by his now-wife Usha Vance, the vice president wrote that he told a friend he thought he was “obsessed” with her while they were in law school together. He praised her intensity, intelligence and curiosity.

“I will marry this girl,” he wrote. “Or I will be a lifelong bachelor.”

He also wrote how their discussion about death, sparked by Joan Didion's “The Year of Magical Thinking,” highlighted their different views on the afterlife — she was worried by it and he wasn't, even in his atheist years.

“Usha, like Didion, dreaded neither the ‘loss of heaven' nor 'the pains of hell’ for the most logical of reasons: She simply didn’t think they exist. I came to believe in both, but I still didn’t find either particularly motivating,” he wrote.

Peter Thiel was a turning point

In the midst of this, Vance wrote that he attended a talk by Peter Thiel, a Silicon Valley investor who would become one of Vance's early political backers. He was impressed by Thiel's discussion of hypercompetition among professionals, accompanied by “technological stagnation.”

“Possibly the smartest person I'd ever met, he identified very openly as a Christian," Vance wrote, adding that Thiel “defied the simple social template I had constructed — that dumb people were religious and smart people were atheists.”

‘Hillbilly Elegy,’ Trump and fame

Initially skeptical his first book would be successful, Vance described how an interview he gave in the summer of 2016 about “the sense that the hillbillies had been left behind by the leaders of a country” caught fire, dovetailing with Trump's campaign that year.

“I became a controversial figure in my own right, and I tasted my first bit of heated public criticism," he wrote.

Vance said he was “tempted by the flexibility” of “being a public intellectual," although he would choose a different path.

Vance converted to Catholicism

The future vice president recalled visiting a French cathedral in 2018 with his wife, Usha, and young son, Ewan.

Reflecting on how the Catholic Church had endured over the years, his ambivalence about religion began to fade. He writes that he felt “a distinct sense of belonging and presence.”

He was baptized a year later, writing that he enjoyed the “work” required to become Catholic — readings and discussion.

The vetting process for vice president was intense

Vance wrote that he figured it was a “long shot” for Trump to choose him as vice president.

“When his staff told me I was on the short list, I almost thought it was a prank call," Vance wrote.

He recalled the in-person interview the most fascinating part of the vetting process, which included being asked if he had ever cheated on his wife.

“I haven't, but I assume people who have don't just admit it to a stranger?” he responded.

The transition to the ticket was difficult for his family, he wrote, particularly his eldest child.

He told Charlie Kirk, the young conservative activist who founded Turning Point USA and was assassinated last year, about the struggle.

“Don't try to convince your son it's not a sacrifice,” Kirk said.

Regretting the ‘cat ladies’ comment

Vance's penchant for stirring controversy came up again during the campaign.

Critics resurfaced his 2021 remarks that the Democratic Party was run by “childless cat ladies.”

Vance now concedes that his comment was “boneheaded” and “one of the dumbest things I ever said.”

“Aside from enraging a great number of people,” Vance added, “it had the added benefit of distracting from the actual point I wanted to make, which was that our society is becoming pathologically hostile to having kids.”

Is this Vance's pre-2028 presidential campaign memoir?

The book's release likely serves to ramp up speculation that Vance will seek the presidency in 2028. That's a possibility the Republican vice president has said he’s not focused on right now, indicating he’d wait until after the 2026 midterm elections to decide on a campaign.

Presidential hopefuls often release books before launching a campaign, giving them a moment in the spotlight before new audiences and a chance to crystallize their message before embarking on a campaign.

Already, potential 2028 candidates on the Democratic side have recently published books or will do so soon, including Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Ecuador lost to Ivory Coast 1-0 on Sunday in Philadelphia. Brazil drew 1–1 with Morocco on Saturday, and Paraguay was routed 4–1 by tournament co-host the United States.

Comments from coaches after the underwhelming results struck a similar tone.

Ecuador coach Sebastián Beccacece called it a “very painful situation.” Paraguay coach Gustavo Alfaro referred to his team’s loss as a “very painful lesson.”

Coach Carlo Ancelotti said five-time World Cup champion Brazil cannot lose heart: “You don’t win a World Cup based on your first match.”

Uruguay plays its first game Monday against Saudi Arabia, defending champion Argentina takes on Algeria on Tuesday and Colombia is against Uzbekistan on Wednesday.

South America has a proud soccer tradition, and is the only continent other than Europe to produce World Cup champions.

The slow start to the tournament of some South American nations contrasts to a solid opening performance by North American teams on home soil.

“The U.S. won this match very clearly and fairly,” Alfaro said after Paraguay’s opening loss. “They dominated tactically, technically and physically as well. They have answers to everything you throw at them.”

Adding to the victory by the U.S., Mexico kicked off the World Cup with a 2-0 win over South Africa, and Canada earned its first World Cup point after a 1-1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Ecuador, making its fifth World Cup appearance and aiming to reach the knockout round for the second time, was playing a virtual home game at Philadelphia Stadium, where most of the capacity crowd of 68,274 wore the team’s yellow jerseys.

But La Tri saw its 19-game unbeaten streak end with its first loss since a 1-0 defeat to Brazil in September 2024.

“I’m very sorry we did not give our fans the joy they came to seek,” Beccacece said. “It was an unfair defeat, played out in a fantastic stadium atmosphere. We have to process it, put what happened behind us, focus on what lies ahead, and — I believe— keep the faith.”

Ecuador captain Enner Valencia said the team remains hopeful despite the loss.

“We’re keeping our heads held high knowing that this is just the beginning,” he said, “and there’s still a tournament ahead of us.”

After the game, Ecuador goalkeeper Hernan Galindez spoke about the unpredictability of the World Cup opening games and how they shouldn’t necessarily be a marker of the tournament’s finishing results.

“In the last World Cup, we won the first game and then were left out,” he said. “Argentina, in the last World Cup, lost the first game and won the World Cup, so nothing guarantees you anything.”

De acuerdo con la investigación del Departamento de Policía de Miami (MPD), Dhir Patel acudía con frecuencia a la tienda, ubicada en 78 NW 37th St., para vender artículos a cambio de dinero.

Aunque el informe policial no identifica el nombre del establecimiento, registros públicos indican que en esa dirección opera Savonches, una tienda especializada en la venta de ropa, bolsos, accesorios, joyería y relojes de lujo y colección.

Según el informe de arresto, Patel, residente de Boynton Beach, recorría el establecimiento seleccionando mercancía durante sus visitas. Los detectives señalaron que las cámaras de seguridad captaron al sospechoso ocultando prendas de vestir dentro de una bolsa que llevaba consigo.

La policía indicó que los robos ocurrieron entre el 30 de marzo y el lunes pasado, periodo durante el cual presuntamente sustrajo mercancía de diseñador con un valor aproximado de 41,550 dólares.

Los agentes arrestaron a Patel el sábado, cuando regresó a la tienda para vender más artículos. Las autoridades informaron que el sospechoso confesó los hechos, aunque esa parte de su declaración fue censurada en la versión pública del informe.

Registros judiciales muestran que Patel pagó una fianza de 5,000 dólares y posteriormente fue puesto en libertad.

A man told Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies that he and Michael Delvalle had been in a dating relationship since September, according to a deputy’s arrest report.

The man said Delvalle “threw shards of glass” that hurt his hands during “a dispute over money,” so he was trying to get away, according to the report.

“If you don’t come out, I’m going to smoke you out,” Delvalle told the man, according to the report.

Firefighters responded to a two-structure fire shortly after 6:45 p.m. on Thursday at an abandoned public housing complex at Southwest 139 Avenue and 260 Street, according to the deputy’s report.

Firefighters reported damage at 13924 SW 260 St. and 26006 SW 139 Ave., and helped a man who was injured and who had suffered smoke inhalation, according to the deputy’s report.

Delvalle fled, but deputies found him nearby on Friday, detained him for questioning, and arrested him at the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office South District Station in Cutler Bay, according to a deputy’s report.

Miami-Dade corrections booked Delvalle shortly after 11:45 p.m. on Friday at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where he remained on Monday without bond, according to inmate records.

Delvalle faced charges of first-degree arson, attempted murder, and aggravated battery. Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Miguel De La O was set to preside over the case, according to court records.

Local 10 News Assignment Editor Mercedes Cevallos contributed to this report.

De acuerdo con el informe de arresto de la Oficina del Sheriff de Miami-Dade, la víctima declaró a los agentes que mantenía una relación sentimental con Michael Delvalle desde septiembre.

Según el denunciante, durante una discusión por dinero, Delvalle le lanzó fragmentos de vidrio que le causaron heridas en las manos, por lo que intentó escapar.

“Si no sales, te voy a sacar con humo”, presuntamente le dijo Delvalle, de acuerdo con el informe.

Poco después de las 6:45 p.m. del jueves, bomberos atendieron un incendio que afectó dos estructuras en un complejo de viviendas públicas abandonado, ubicado en la intersección de Southwest 139th Avenue y Southwest 260th Street, señala el reporte.

Los bomberos informaron daños en los inmuebles ubicados en 13924 SW 260 St. y 26006 SW 139 Ave., además de auxiliar a un hombre que resultó herido y presentó inhalación de humo.

Tras el incidente, Delvalle huyó del lugar. Sin embargo, agentes del sheriff lo localizaron cerca de la zona el viernes, lo retuvieron para interrogarlo y posteriormente lo arrestaron en la estación del Distrito Sur de la Oficina del Sheriff de Miami-Dade, en Cutler Bay.

Delvalle fue ingresado poco antes de la medianoche del viernes en el Centro Correccional Turner Guilford Knight, donde hasta este lunes permanecía detenido sin derecho a fianza, de acuerdo con los registros penitenciarios.

El acusado enfrenta cargos por incendio provocado en primer grado, intento de asesinato y agresión agravada.

Según los registros judiciales, el caso será presidido por el juez Miguel De La O, del Tribunal de Circuito del Condado de Miami-Dade.

“It was an amazing, experience, this was a one-of-one,” UFC CEO Dana White said.

“It will never happen again.”

Oh, not because the show dubbed Freedom 250 and ostensibly held to celebrate Trump's 80th birthday and the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence’s signing wasn't by White's accounts a smashing success. He crowed about merchandise sales and streaming service subscriptions and how UFC surpassed its goals in every metric he could list at a news conference that stretched well into the dawn's early light Monday.

And the setting?

Forget it, almost impossible to top on a night when fighters essentially treated their walkouts like they were kids on a class trip. The all-male lineup toured the West Wing, the Oval Office, walked past presidential portraits, through the Roosevelt Room, the Cabinet Room — and the winners even got a meet-and-greet with Trump.

Gaethje skimmed the copy of the Declaration of Independence that hangs in the Oval Office and said a prayer before he made the unusually long walk to the cage. Gaethje battered Spanish-Georgian fighter Ilia Topuria in the main event and won the UFC lightweight title.

“Usually, I kind of blank out when it comes to getting ready to walk to the cage,” Gaethje said. “It was pretty crazy, looking at the Declaration of Independence. The original one. Their language was different. I'm not smart enough to read that.”

Gaethje also banked a whopping $825,000 in bonus money for winning “Performance of the Night” and “Fight of the Night” honors.

Trump stayed until the end of the seven-card show and generally seemed engaged with the fights — at one point he put on a white “USA” baseball cap — and certainly was all smiles each time a fighter who had a hand raised in victory then used it on a handshake with the president.

Trump boasted on Truth Social the night was “PERFECT!”

There were few blips on the big night and the blemishes that did happen were at the expense of UFC's two more problematic fighters.

UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland was escorted out of the Ellipse watch party attended by thousands more fans by a group of police officers. Heavyweight Josh Hokit took it further with an extraordinary and unfounded attack based on a right-wing conspiracy theory about former first lady Michelle Obama.

For all the hand-wringing ahead of the card, the show delivered on the star-spangled smackdown that featured pulsating patriotism from the Marine Band, tributes to first responders, active military and other White House-designated heroes. Gaethje and Ciryl Gane were crowned champions inside a blood-splattered eight-sided cage plopped in the open air right in the people's house backyard on the South Lawn.

Blood and guts were a mandate before an American fighter wrapped himself in the flag.

“Hopefully tonight created some unity,” White said as he put on his hyperbolic promoter's hat. “Even for the people that thought this was going to be some big political statement or something, this wasn't. This was Americans, all Americans celebrating the birthday. For people who tuned in for the first time, because it was at the White House, hopefully they liked the sport. They liked some of the guys' stories.”

So maybe some new fans stick around.

After all, International Fight Week is right around the corner, with UFC 329 set to mark the return after a five-year break of the company's biggest box office draw, Conor McGregor.

That fight will be held in a more traditional arena back on UFC's home turf in Las Vegas, just as they will for years to come.

But despite all the pomp and pageantry, the eyerolls and angst, White stands by his claim that UFC is one-and-done in D.C.

The constant headaches over weather concerns in the rare outdoors show, the logistics of construction of the cage and staging events at federal landmarks and the soaring cost — UFC said it was footing the $60 million tab — made Freedom 250 a one-off for a company once dubbed “human cockfighting."

“I can’t afford it," White said. "I’ll never do the Sphere again and we’ll never do this again.”

It will bring the threat of prolonged heavy rainfall and flash flooding, starting first along the Texas Gulf Coast and South Texas today and tomorrow, stretching into the Lower Mississippi Valley and central Gulf Coast by late week.

As of Monday morning, flood watches already blanketed most of eastern Texas, Louisiana, and west-central Mississippi as moisture levels soar to record levels.

The abundant tropical air sweeping into the Texas Gulf Coast today will mean downpours that develop will be especially prolific, with incredible rainfall rates as high as 3 to 5 inches per hour posing flooding problems even for drier soils.

Organized tropical development low, but heavy rains regardless

The tropical disturbance itself, which we’ve been tracking for over a week in this newsletter, was inland over northern Mexico Monday morning. Though the advancing front to its north will drag it back eastward and perhaps briefly off the Texas Gulf Coast by Wednesday, the window for development over water – if at all – will be brief.

By early Thursday, the system will be caught in the high-altitude winds of the stalled front over eastern Texas and accelerating toward northern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia for Friday. While forecast models suggest the low-pressure area could strengthen over land later this week, it won’t be through tropical processes but rather from strong jet-stream winds.

Nevertheless, the impacts will feel tropical-like in terms of the influx of tropical air and the potential for widespread, heavy rainfall, along with a corridor of gusty winds near the low-pressure center later this week.

As other no-named disturbances of tropical origins in the past have shown – such as the August 2016 Louisiana floods – it doesn’t take a bona fide tropical depression or storm to cause big flooding issues.

We’ll keep an eye on the trends for brief tropical development by mid-week, but either way the upshot will be a wide stretch of real estate impacted by heavy rains and the risk of numerous flash floods through the end of the week.

Elsewhere, tropical development isn’t expected in the Atlantic basin this week.

El sistema incrementará el riesgo de lluvias intensas y prolongadas, así como de inundaciones repentinas, comenzando este lunes y martes a lo largo de la costa del Golfo de Texas y el sur de ese estado, para posteriormente extenderse hacia el valle bajo del río Misisipi y la costa central del Golfo hacia finales de la semana.

Hasta la mañana del lunes, ya se mantenían alertas por inundaciones en gran parte del este de Texas, Luisiana y el centro-oeste de Misisipi, mientras los niveles de humedad atmosférica alcanzaban valores récord.

Bajas probabilidades de desarrollo tropical, pero lluvias intensas de cualquier forma

La perturbación tropical, a la que hemos dado seguimiento durante más de una semana, se encontraba tierra adentro, en el norte de México, la mañana de este lunes. Aunque el frente frío que avanza al norte del sistema lo empujará nuevamente hacia el este e incluso podría llevarlo brevemente sobre las aguas de la costa del Golfo de Texas para el miércoles, el tiempo disponible para que pueda desarrollarse sobre el mar —si es que llega a hacerlo— será muy limitado.

Para las primeras horas del jueves, el sistema quedará atrapado por los vientos en niveles altos asociados al frente frío estacionario sobre el este de Texas y comenzará a desplazarse rápidamente hacia el norte de Luisiana, Misisipi, Alabama y Georgia de cara al viernes. Aunque los modelos de pronóstico indican que el área de baja presión podría fortalecerse sobre tierra firme hacia finales de la semana, ese proceso no sería de origen tropical, sino impulsado por los fuertes vientos de la corriente en chorro.

Aun así, sus efectos serán similares a los de un sistema tropical debido al ingreso de aire cálido y húmedo procedente de los trópicos, lo que favorecerá lluvias intensas y generalizadas, además de una franja de vientos fuertes cerca del centro de baja presión conforme avance la semana.

Como han demostrado otras perturbaciones de origen tropical que nunca recibieron un nombre —como las inundaciones que afectaron a Luisiana en agosto de 2016—, no es necesario que un sistema alcance la categoría de depresión o tormenta tropical para provocar graves inundaciones.

Los meteorólogos continuarán vigilando la posibilidad de un breve desarrollo tropical hacia mediados de semana. Sin embargo, independientemente de ello, se prevé que una extensa zona del sur de Estados Unidos sea afectada por lluvias intensas y un elevado riesgo de inundaciones repentinas hasta el final de la semana.

En el resto de la cuenca del Atlántico, no se prevé el desarrollo de sistemas tropicales durante esta semana.

Los investigadores informaron que fueron alertados sobre un cuerpo flotando en el agua tras recibir una llamada al 911.

Cámaras de Local 10 captaron embarcaciones de la policía y del cuerpo de bomberos de Miami realizando labores de búsqueda en la Bahía de Biscayne, al sur de Brickell Key, la mañana del domingo.

El hallazgo ocurre un día después de que la Unidad de Víctimas Especiales del Departamento de Policía de Miami difundiera una ficha de búsqueda por la desaparición de Akin Liverpool, de 23 años, quien fue visto por última vez la noche del sábado a bordo de una embarcación chárter en esa zona, antes de que, según la policía, cayera al agua.

La Policía de Miami y la Guardia Costera iniciaron un operativo conjunto de búsqueda por aire y por agua para localizar al joven.

Las autoridades señalaron que el cuerpo recuperado la mañana del domingo forma ahora parte de una investigación a cargo de la Comisión de Conservación de Pesca y Vida Silvestre de Florida (FWC).

Hasta el momento, la persona fallecida no ha sido identificada oficialmente y la investigación continúa.

De acuerdo con el informe de arresto del Departamento de Policía de Miami, personal de Miami Fire Rescue y agentes policiales acudieron alrededor de las 2:47 a.m. del 21 de octubre de 2025 a la cuadra 2900 de Southwest 30th Court, tras recibir un reporte por una agresión.

Al llegar al lugar, los oficiales encontraron a la víctima, Alisa Marie Toth, de 65 años, sentada en la acera y sangrando por la parte posterior de la cabeza.

Según el informe, el sospechoso, Jacob Kohlhas, se encontraba junto a una cerca cercana y proporcionó una declaración a la policía, cuyo contenido fue censurado en la versión pública del documento.

Las autoridades indicaron que la víctima no pudo rendir declaración debido a la gravedad de su estado.

El informe señala que Kohlhas llamó al 911 e informó que la mujer se había caído en la acera, por lo que el operador transfirió la llamada a los servicios de emergencia médica al considerar que se trataba de un incidente médico. Sin embargo, la policía explicó que los agentes fueron enviados al lugar debido a declaraciones que Kohlhas presuntamente hizo al despachador de bomberos cuando este le preguntó cómo había ocurrido la caída.

La víctima fue trasladada al Hospital Jackson Memorial, donde los médicos determinaron que había sufrido una lesión cerebral traumática y un hematoma subdural, que provocó una hemorragia interna en la cabeza.

De acuerdo con el informe, Kohlhas fue arrestado inicialmente por el cargo de agresión agravada.

La policía informó que el 1 de noviembre la víctima fue declarada con muerte cerebral y falleció en el hospital el 6 de noviembre.

Posteriormente, un informe de autopsia confirmó que Toth murió a causa de lesiones contundentes en la cabeza y determinó que la causa de muerte fue un homicidio, indicaron las autoridades.

Tras conocerse esos resultados, Kohlhas fue detenido nuevamente el viernes, ahora acusado de asesinato en segundo grado.

La policía informó que el sospechoso se negó a rendir una nueva declaración ante los detectives sin antes consultar con un abogado.

Hasta la mañana del lunes, Kohlhas permanecía recluido sin derecho a fianza en el Centro Correccional Turner Guilford Knight.

Alex Ringleb, owner of Burgermeister Miami, decorated his restaurant with international flags ahead of the tournament, hoping to create a festive atmosphere and attract customers during the slower summer months.

Instead, he says, city code enforcement officers showed up and ordered the flags removed.

“That’s why we decorate, to bring that spirit from the World Cup to our business,” Ringleb told Local 10 News in an exclusive interview.

According to Ringleb, code enforcement officers informed him that the flags violated FIFA-related regulations and warned that he could face fines if they remained on display.

“They demanded that my staff stop working, stop serving our guests and remove all the flags, which then I refused,” Ringleb said.

Ringleb said the encounter was unsettling not only for his employees but also for customers dining at the restaurant.

“The guests don’t feel comfortable when you have someone in uniform demanding from your staff,” he said. “Our international guests don’t even know – ‘Is that the police? Who are these people?’”

The flags in question featured various countries participating in the tournament and did not contain official FIFA trademarks or branding.

According to the city, the enforcement action was issued in error.

Miami Beach Commissioner Joe Magazine said the situation appears to have stemmed from confusion over rules involving trademarked World Cup-related materials.

“I think this is one of those cases where a great small business, a great operator, might have gotten mixed up and got caught up in a situation where we haven’t been able to remove all the red tape yet,” Magazine said.

The city later rescinded the warning and issued an apology.

In a statement to Local 10 News, city officials said:

“Although we strive to do the right thing always, we sometimes miss the mark. The Code Compliance verbal warning to Burgermeister for outdoor decorations was regrettably one of those instances. As soon as it was brought to our attention, it was immediately rescinded.”

The statement continued:

“We have since clarified guidance with our enforcement teams to ensure this does not happen again.”

Ringleb said some neighboring businesses removed similar decorations after hearing about potential fines, while others were left confused about what was and was not allowed.

He believes the incident highlights the need for clearer communication and better training for enforcement personnel, especially as Miami Beach prepares to host thousands of soccer fans.

The dispute has since been resolved, and the flags remain on display.

Ringleb said he also received a personal apology from the city manager.

Meanwhile, attention is turning back to the action on the field as the World Cup gets underway Monday in South Florida. Officials are reminding fans that enhanced security measures, including K-9 units and increased law enforcement presence, will be in place around match venues.

Those without tickets are being urged not to travel to the stadium expecting to gain entry. Tickets, however, can still be found on some resale sites, starting at around $500.

Alex Ringleb, propietario de Burgermeister Miami, decoró su restaurante con banderas de distintos países antes del inicio del Mundial con la intención de crear un ambiente festivo y atraer clientes durante los meses de verano, cuando la actividad suele disminuir.

Sin embargo, asegura que inspectores del área de Cumplimiento de Códigos de la ciudad llegaron al establecimiento y le ordenaron retirar las banderas.

“Decoramos el restaurante precisamente para traer el espíritu del Mundial a nuestro negocio”, dijo Ringleb a Local 10 News en una entrevista exclusiva.

Según el empresario, los inspectores le informaron que las banderas infringían normas relacionadas con la FIFA y le advirtieron que podría enfrentar multas si permanecían colocadas.

“Exigieron que mi personal dejara de trabajar, dejara de atender a nuestros clientes y retirara todas las banderas. Me negué”, relató.

Ringleb afirmó que el incidente resultó incómodo no solo para sus empleados, sino también para los clientes que se encontraban en el restaurante.

“Los clientes no se sienten cómodos cuando hay alguien uniformado dándole órdenes a tu personal”, explicó. “Nuestros visitantes internacionales ni siquiera sabían quiénes eran. Se preguntaban: ‘¿Es la policía? ¿Quiénes son estas personas?’”.

Las banderas representaban a los distintos países participantes del Mundial y no incluían logotipos oficiales ni marcas registradas de la FIFA.

De acuerdo con la ciudad, la actuación de los inspectores fue un error.

El comisionado de Miami Beach, Joe Magazine, señaló que la situación parece haberse originado por una confusión sobre las normas relacionadas con materiales vinculados al Mundial protegidos por marcas registradas.

“Creo que este es uno de esos casos en los que un excelente pequeño negocio terminó involucrado en una situación derivada de una confusión y de una burocracia que todavía no hemos logrado eliminar por completo”, afirmó.

Posteriormente, la ciudad revocó la advertencia y ofreció disculpas.

En un comunicado enviado a Local 10 News, las autoridades señalaron:

“Aunque siempre procuramos hacer lo correcto, en ocasiones cometemos errores. La advertencia verbal emitida por el área de Cumplimiento de Códigos a Burgermeister por sus decoraciones exteriores fue, lamentablemente, uno de esos casos. Tan pronto como tuvimos conocimiento de la situación, fue revocada de inmediato.”

El comunicado añade:

“Desde entonces hemos aclarado las directrices con nuestros equipos de inspección para garantizar que esto no vuelva a ocurrir.”

Ringleb comentó que algunos comercios vecinos retiraron decoraciones similares tras enterarse de las posibles multas, mientras que otros quedaron confundidos sobre qué estaba permitido y qué no.

A su juicio, el incidente pone de manifiesto la necesidad de una comunicación más clara y de una mejor capacitación para el personal encargado de hacer cumplir las normas, especialmente cuando Miami Beach se prepara para recibir a miles de aficionados al fútbol.

La controversia ya fue resuelta y las banderas permanecen exhibidas.

Ringleb agregó que también recibió una disculpa personal por parte del administrador de la ciudad.

Mientras tanto, la atención vuelve a centrarse en el Mundial, que comienza este lunes en el sur de Florida. Las autoridades recordaron que habrá medidas de seguridad reforzadas en las sedes de los partidos, incluidas unidades caninas (K-9) y una mayor presencia de agentes del orden.

Asimismo, recomendaron a quienes no tengan boletos que no acudan al estadio con la expectativa de poder ingresar. No obstante, todavía es posible encontrar entradas en algunos sitios de reventa, con precios que parten de aproximadamente 500 dólares.
