PALM COAST, Fla. – A 76-year-old Florida driver was at the center of a breathtaking incident that unfolded like a scene from an action movie on a bustling intersection in Palm Coast last Saturday. What unfolded next was nothing short of extraordinary.A minor crash near the intersection triggered a startling chain of events. The victim involved in the initial collision attempted to prevent the driver, Cheryl Henderson, from fleeing the scene, resulting in a gripping struggle for control. Henderson’s reaction? Instead of yielding, she accelerated, with the determined man clinging desperately to the hood of her car.Surveillance cameras captured the scene, showing Henderson’s grey SUV hurtling down the street, reaching speeds of up to 50 miles per hour, as she appeared unfazed by the man hanging on for dear life.

GRANADA, Spain — Kosovo’s President Vjosa Osmani flatly refused to meet with Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić at a summit on Thursday, instead calling for the EU to first sanction Vučić. “There’s no reason to meet before sanctions are adopted towards Vučić. Sanctions first, and then we can talk about the rest,” Osmani told reporters ahead of a meeting of leaders for the European Political Community in Granada.The European Political Community, created last year in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, aims to promote peace — and European Council President Charles Michel said it “should play an important role in defusing conflicts” between Serbia and Kosovo as well as in the South Caucasus between Armenia and Azerbaijan.But Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev cancelled his participation at the last minute. Meanwhile, no meeting is in sight between Kosovo and Serbia.Tensions between the two flared up again recently in the Western Balkans when a...

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 00:22:00 GMT

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Four doctors were shot — three of them fatally — beside a beach in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro in the early hours of Thursday in what may have been a politically motivated execution. Security camera footage obtained by local newspaper O Globo showed a group of black-clad gunmen emerging from a car and running up to the men’s beachside table in the Barra da Tijuca neighborhood and opening fire. Local press reported that the men were in town from Sao Paulo for an international orthopedics conference and that the dead men included the brother of federal lawmaker Sâmia Bomfim. The fourth doctor was wounded and brought to a hospital, according to a statement from Rio’s military police. Brazilian Justice Minister Flávio Dino said he was tasking the Federal Police with joining the investigation in light of the hypothesis it may have been motivated by the actions of federal lawmakers. Bomfim is married to another lawmaker, Glauber Braga.“After thes...

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 00:22:00 GMT

Deepfakes generated by artificial intelligence are having their moment this year, at least when it comes to making it look, or sound, like celebrities did something uncanny. Tom Hanks hawking a dental plan. Pope Francis wearing a stylish puffer jacket. U.S. Sen. Rand Paul sitting on the Capitol steps in a red bathrobe.But what happens next year ahead of a U.S. presidential election? Google was the first big tech company to say it would impose new labels on deceptive AI-generated political advertisements that could fake a candidate’s voice or actions. Now some U.S. lawmakers are calling on social media platforms X, Facebook and Instagram to explain why they aren’t doing the same. Two Democratic members of Congress sent a letter Thursday to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and X CEO Linda Yaccarino expressing “serious concerns” about the emergence of AI-generated political ads on their platforms and asking each to explain any rules they’re crafting to curb the harms to free ...

All Trump, all the time? Former president’s legal problems a boon to MSNBC

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 00:22:00 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — During a recent “Morning Joe” discussion of another development in the four indictments of former President Donald Trump, NBC News reporter Ken Dilanian predicted, “we are in for a real show next year.”MSNBC is not just counting on that to be true. The network is built around it.The news outlet is hyper-focused on Trump’s legal jeopardy, with a team of experts ready to dissect every ruling, every filing, every comment. The approach has seen success — even with some Republicans — with potential for more and the obvious questions of what happens when the bubble bursts.“MSNBC has pretty well-established themselves as the leading anti-Trump network, certainly of late,” said Jon Klein, a former CNN president and news analyst. “Once you’ve chosen your lane, you may as well go for it.”Certainly, the recipient of its attention has noticed.In a late September post on Truth Social, Trump complained about “one-sided and vicious coverage” on NBC News and, particularl...
