Lopez will be sentenced on Friday.The sentencing came after an emotional morning, in which Malik's relatives begged Fox to reveal who hired him to carry out the murder."We plead with you to reveal the names of the people who hired you," said Malik's daughter-in-law Sundeep Kaur Dhaliwal, according to reporters inside the New Westminster courtroom.The two men...

Scientists move Doomsday Clock to 89 seconds before midnight
Doomsday Clock moved closest ever to destruction
CHICAGO — The Doomsday Clock symbolizing how near humanity is to destruction has been moved one second forward to 89 seconds to midnight – the closest it has ever been.The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BAS) – which sets the clock annually – said nuclear threats, potential misuse of advances in biology and artificial intelligence, as well as climate change, were the key factors.Daniel Holz, chair of the Bulletin's Science and Security Board, said the latest move was "a warning to all world leaders".The clock was originally placed at seven minutes to midnight in 1947. Last year, it was left unchanged at 90 seconds.In Tuesday's statement, the BAS – a Chicago-based non-profit organization – said: "In setting the clock one second closer to midnight, we...

The deportees finally arrive in Bogota, Colombia, on January 28, 2025
Inside the ordeal of deported migrants as US and Colombia squared off
BOGOTA — “Do you know who the next president is? The fun is over for you here, the music has changed ... you’ve got to go back.”Daniel Oquendo, 33, remembers well the first words US border agents told him after he crossed the US-Mexico border on January 20.Eight days later, Oquendo is back in his native Colombia, after a bitter diplomatic row between US President Donald Trump and Colombian President Gustavo Petro. He was one of about 200 Colombian migrants who were supposed to be deported early on Sunday – but were turned around by Colombian authorities.“It was very confusing: Nobody told us anything. US Customs and Border (Protection) took us from our cells in San Diego and put us on a C-130, with seats and all of that. They told us the flight to Bogota was going to be seven...

Judge temporarily blocks part of Trump administration’s plans to freeze federal aid
WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Tuesday afternoon temporarily blocked part of the Trump administration’s plans to freeze all federal aid, a policy that unleashed confusion and worry from charities and educators even as the White House said it was not as sweeping an order as it appeared.The short-term pause issued by US District Judge Loren L. AliKhan prevents the administration from carrying through with its plans to freeze funding for “open awards” already granted by the federal government through at least 5 p.m. ET Monday, February 3.The judge’s administrative stay is “a way of preserving the status quo” while she considers the challenge brought by a group of non-profits to the White House plans, AliKhan said.“The government doesn’t know the full scope of the programs...

The memo encompasses financial assistance for foreign aid, nongovernmental organizations, DEI, woke gender ideology, and the green new deal
White House pauses federal grants and loans
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has paused grants, loans and other federal assistance, according to a leaked government memo verified by the CBS News.In the memo, the acting head of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) calls on government agencies to ensure spending is consistent with Trump's priorities — and nods to a number of executive orders that the returning president has made.The full impact of the pause is not yet clear, although the memo specifies that Medicaid and Social Security benefits are not affected. It comes days after the US halted nearly all foreign aid.The move has been criticized by members of the rival Democratic Party, and could face legal challenges.The memo, signed by acting OMB chief Matthew Vaeth, calls on government agencies to temporarily...

President Trump vowed on the campaign trail to cut down on equal opportunity programmes and bring about major changes to the US military
Trump signs orders focused on reshaping US military
LONDON — US President Donald Trump has signed several executive orders focused on reshaping the US military.One order signed late on Monday bans diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in the military. It will remove the use of race- or sex-based preferences in the armed forces, the Defense Department and the Homeland Security Department.Another reinstates more than 8,000 service members who were discharged for refusing to get the Covid-19 vaccine.The White House added that a third executive order tasks officials with formulating a policy on transgender troops. The action does not immediately ban transgender service members.A fourth order mandates a process to develop an "American Iron Dome" — similar to the one used by Israel in the Middle East; while the White...

US President Donald Trump has called the rise of Chinese company DeepSeek 'a wake-up call' for the US tech industry, after the emergence of its artificial intelligence (AI) model triggered shockwaves on Wall Street
DeepSeek a 'wake-up call' for US tech firms, Trump says
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has called the rise of Chinese company DeepSeek "a wake-up call" for the US tech industry, after the emergence of its artificial intelligence (AI) model triggered shockwaves on Wall Street.Shares in major tech firms such as Nvidia fell sharply, with the chip giant losing almost $600bn (£482bn) in market value.What has shaken the industry is DeepSeek's claim that its R1 model was made at a fraction of the cost of its rivals - raising questions about the future of America's AI dominance and the scale of investments US firms are planning.DeepSeek has become the most downloaded free app in the US just a week after it was launched.Responding to the news, Trump said the latest developments in China's AI industry may be "a...

Colombia backs down on deportation flights after Trump tariffs threat
WASHINGTON — The US will not go ahead with tariffs on Colombia, after Bogota agreed to accept — without restrictions — deported migrants, the White House says.Donald Trump had ordered 25% tariffs on all Colombian goods after its president barred two US military deportation flights from landing in the country on Sunday.Colombian President Gustavo Petro had initially responded by saying his country would accept repatriated citizens on "civilian planes, without treating them like criminals".A White House statement says Colombia has now agreed to accept migrants arriving on US military aircraft "without limitation or delay". Colombia said dialogue would be maintained to "guarantee the dignity of our citizens".The White House has hailed the agreement with...

Trump shrugs off Elon Musk’s criticism of AI announcement
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Thursday shrugged off an ugly back-and-forth between tech CEOs Elon Musk and Sam Altman that pitted one of Trump’s most visible lieutenants against a key participant in a massive $500 billion AI project Trump announced Tuesday.Musk had undercut Trump’s Tuesday Oval Office AI announcement, casting doubt on his X social media platform that any of the participating companies had the money to fund it. But Trump Thursday told reporters at the White House that Musk’s commentary was just a case of bad blood, because he “hates one of the people in the deal” – not an indictment of the viability of the deal he had announced.“No, he hates one of the people,” Trump said, in an apparent reference to Altman. “I’ve spoken to Elon, but—spoken...
