The cascading effects will impact global climate patterns into 2027, including increasing risks for drought, flooding rain, and record heat and humidity.

US President Donald Trump says he will talk to Taiwanese leader Lai Ching-te about a possible arms sale, in what would be a sharp departure from diplomatic tradition.

Far-right podcaster Tucker Carlson came under fire after appearing on prime-time Israeli television and accusing both Israel and the US of betraying democracy, calling Israel "probably the most violent country in the world" and saying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had dragged President Donald Trump into the war with Iran.
In an interview with Channel 13 anchor and senior political analyst Udi Segal aired on Tuesday night, Carlson also repeated his claim that Israel's actions in Gaza amounted to "genocide," while saying the wording mattered less than what he described as the killing of civilians.
The country had "definitely lost its morality," he said.
President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed a new effort to reach a deal with Iran in a difficult call on Tuesday, three sources said, with one source saying Netanyahu's "hair was on fire" after the call.
Why it matters:
A revised peace memo was drafted by Qatar and Pakistan with input from the other regional mediators to try to bridge the gaps between the U.S. and Iran, the sources said.
It comes with Trump vacillating over ordering a massive strike on Iran and holding out for a deal.
White House and agency officials have repeatedly declined to answer whether they will seek authorization for Trump's arch from the current Congress.
Instead, administration officials have cited a 1924 report by a federal commission charged with designing the Arlington Memorial Bridge. That report called for building a pair of 166-foot-tall columns, surmounted by statues, on Columbia Island that would frame the nearby Lincoln Memorial.
Congress formally ratified the commission's report in 1925, and the Memorial Bridge was soon built. However, the columns were not constructed, and Trump officials today argue that in building the arch they would be carrying out past lawmakers' wishes.
"Congress authorized the arch project when it approved the design set out in Arlington Memorial Bridge Commission's report," Justice Department lawyers wrote in a filing last month.
The US Department of Justice unsealed a superseding indictment charging Raul Modesto Castro Ruz (94), of Holguin, Cuba; along with five accomplices for their alleged roles in the 24 Feb 1996 shoot down of two unarmed US civilian aircraft operated by Brothers to the Rescue (BTTR), also known as Hermanos al Rescate, over international waters which resulted in the deaths of four US nationals.

Boos rang out during the University of Arizona's graduation ceremony on Friday as former Google CEO Eric Schmidt spoke about a topic that is maybe a little sensitive for those about to enter the workforce: AI. While other speakers received cheers and applause, Schmidt's speech about the impact of modern technology on society struck a nerve.
A man has been arrested in Texas accused of intentionally driving his Tesla Cybertruck into a lake to use the vehicle's "wade mode" feature.

In new research published in Nature, Rockefeller University's Laboratory of Neural Systems has found the first evidence of the neural substrates that underlie this process. The team located it in the ventral premotor cortex, a section of the frontal lobe. The region appears to act as a sort of mediator between the prefrontal cortex, where higher-level thinking such as planning occurs, and the motor cortex, which enables movement. Read more
Tennessee officials will pay $835,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by a man who was jailed for more than a month over a Facebook post he made about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. While many people across the U.S. lost their jobs over social media comments about Kirk's death, Larry Bushart's case stood out as a rare instance in which such online speech led to criminal prosecution. The 61-year-old retired police officer spent 37 days behind bars before authorities dropped the felony charge against him in October. During his time in jail, Bushart lost his postretirement job and missed his wedding anniversary and the birth of his granddaughter, according to a federal lawsuit Bushart filed in December against Perry County, its sheriff and the investigator who obtained the arrest warrant.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday demanded Senate Republicans fire the nonpartisan Senate parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, after she ruled this weekend that Republicans could not include funding for the White House ballroom in an immigration enforcement bill.
