North Korea tests missile that it claims can target U.S. mainland An undated photo provided on March 29, 2026 by the North Korean government, shows what it says a solid-fuel engine test at an undisclosed place in North Korea. Korean Central News Agency/Korea News Service via AP North Korean leader Kim Jong Un observed a test of an upgraded solid-fuel engine for weapons capable of reaching the U.S. mainland, and called it a significant development boosting his country's strategic military arsenal, state media reported Sunday. While the test was in line with Kim's stated goal of acquiring more agile, hard-to-detect missiles targeting the U.S. and its allies, some experts speculate North Korea's claim may be an exaggeration.

It's not just oil — the Iran war is disrupting helium and aluminum supplies. Here's the impact. The Iran war is not only disrupting the global energy market but is also threatening the world's supply of helium and aluminum, key materials used in products such as semiconductor chips, medical equipment and other everyday goods. Qatar, which accounts for roughly one-third of the world's helium supply, stopped producing helium this month following Iranian strikes on two liquid natural gas (LNG) facilities owned by state-run QatarEnergy. Helium is a byproduct of natural gas processing, and attacks on Qatar's liquefied natural gas facilities mean it could take years to rebuild production lines.

Trump sends mixed messages on securing the Strait of Hormuz President Trump has sent conflicting messages about the Strait of Hormuz over the last few weeks as the world's oil supply has been choked by the Iran war. In a prime-time address Wednesday, Mr. Trump declared that Iran "has been essentially decimated" and "when the conflict is over, the strait will open up naturally."

Morgan analysts say Gasoline prices in the U.S., which have risen $1.16 a gallon since the start of the Iran war in February, could top $5 a gallon as soon as later this month if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed through mid-April, according to J.P. Morgan energy analysts. Higher prices at the pump could also consume "much or all" of the larger tax refunds many Americans were expected to receive this year because of the Republican-backed tax and spending bill passed in 2025, they note. "Every 10¢ rise in the average price of regular gasoline this year would add just over another $12 [billiion] to the annual outlays for gasoline," J.P. Morgan said in a note to clients.

The U.S. never promised Lebanon would be included in the ceasefire agreement, Vance said, despite Iran's claims it was, chalking that up to a "reasonable misunderstanding" between the parties.

U.S. set to begin Iranian ports blockade, partial blockade of Strait of Hormuz after talks fail o President Trump says a U.S. blockade of Iran's ports will begin at 10 a.m. EDT Monday, and that the U.S. will also partially blockade the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for shipments of oil, fertilizer and other vital goods.

The mandate was clear for the incoming prime minister, who had described Orbán as a "puppet of the Kremlin" in his campaign speeches and long pledged to reduce Russia's influence in Hungary. The question now is whether Magyar will make good on that promise. As he attempts to pull Hungary out of...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Latest effort to rein in Trump on Iran falls short in House vote The latest vote in the House to block President Trump from taking further military action against Iran narrowly failed Thursday as the war approaches its third month and the off-ramp remains uncertain.

One Republican voted with nearly all Democrats, just shy of the support it needed for passage. It's the latest test of Congress' support for the war that Mr. Trump has claimed for weeks would be over "soon."

Airlines cut routes in response to rising jet fuel costs amid Iran war Airlines are cutting routes this summer as they face rising jet fuel costs amid the Iran war. Air Canada, Delta, and other airlines said Friday that certain routes will be impacted.

"Jet fuel is a huge cost for airlines, especially on longer-haul flights." Airlines pre-sold tickets based on expectations that fuel costs would remain relatively stable. Rooney expects them to cancel some flights based on rising fuel costs. Jet fuel prices have doubled since the war began on Feb. 28, raising costs for airlines.

"As we face the second fossil fuel shock in less than 5 years, the lesson for our country is clear," said U.K. energy secretary Ed Miliband, referring to energy price spikes resulting from Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the ongoing U.S.-Israeli campaign against Iran.

The Mets have not won a game since April 7 and are now 7-16, which is the worst record in baseball. That record also puts the Mets on pace to go 49-113 this season.

Hungary drops veto, clearing path for $106 billion EU loan to Ukraine The European Union issued preliminary approval on a $106 billion loan for Ukraine Wednesday, after Hungary lifted its months-long veto on the funds. Most of the funding will go toward Ukraine's defense sector, which officials in Kyiv say is central to Europe's long-term security. The move may also signal a more constructive relationship with the bloc following the ouster of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán earlier this month. The loan, originally introduced in December, had been held up by a dispute between Hungary and Ukraine over an oil pipeline that runs through Ukrainian territory. Orbán vetoed the funds in February, accusing Ukraine of shutting down the Druzhba Pipeline, which delivers...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

In fact, she was the victim of a horrendous one. In 2022, Ramos was sexually assaulted by a group of men, which compounded her existing mental struggles and led to at least two suicide attempts. One of the attempts left her with permanent injury and constant pain. Eventually, she appealed to die by euthanasia, which had been legalized in Spain in 2021. For two years, her parents tried to save her with the help of a Christian law group. In the end, the government and medical authorities determined her life was not worth living.

King Charles' U.S. visit to start Monday amid strained U.S.-U.K. relations Britain's King Charles will visit the U.S. starting on Monday to mark America's 250th anniversary – his first trip since his coronation nearly three years ago. Buckingham Palace has said the visit "will celebrate the historic connections and the modern bilateral relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States." But it comes at a time when the normally close relationship between the U.S. and Europe is strained. For decades, the U.S. and the U.K. have enjoyed what Winston Churchill called a "special relationship." President Trump visited the U.K. in September – enjoying a carriage ride with the king, an inspection of...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Another U.S. strike on alleged drug boat kills 3 in eastern Pacific, military says The latest U.S. military strike on a boat accused of ferrying drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean killed three people Sunday, according to a social media post by U.S. Southern Command.

In 8 weeks, the Iran war has dented the U.S. economy. The damage could linger, economists say. In the eight weeks since the Iran war started, the conflict has driven gas prices above $4 a gallon, strained homebuyers and pushed inflation to its highest level in nearly two years. Even if the war ends soon, Americans are likely to feel the financial sting for months, economists say. "I think the damage has already been done, in part because there's no going back on oil prices, at least not any time in the near future," Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, told CBS News. The war has disrupted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway through which one-fifth of the world's oil supply normally flows. Oil prices have jumped as a result, creating...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Here are the college majors that new grads regret the most, according to a recent survey A college degree is often seen as a way to get a leg up in the labor market, which has recently been challenging for early-career workers. But as new grads begin their job searches, many say they wish they had chosen a different field of study. Roughly one in five recent grads regret their major, according to a recent report from ZipRecruiter, which surveyed 1,500 graduates from the class of 2025, and another 1,500 students set to graduate this spring. Liberal arts majors were most likely to regret the area they chose to focus their studies, with many wishing they had pursued a scientific or quantitative field, according to the job site.

| MLB Power Rankings: There's a new No. 1 in town and they're running away with the division No one's doubting the Dodgers but it's time to tip our cap to the red-hot Braves  Keytron Jordan, CBS Sports The two-time defending champion Dodgers are a great team. They remain a decent bet to win the World Series and have been one of the best teams in baseball all season. I'm sure there will be people out there arguing against this move and it's totally fair to believe it shouldn't happen, but I'm pulling the trigger. The Dodgers are not the No. 1 team in the Power Rankings this week. That honor has been stolen by the Atlanta Braves. What a difference a year makes, huh? The 2025 Braves were arguably the most disappointing...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Oil prices rise as U.S. and Iran appear locked in a costly stalemate What to know about the Iran war today: o Iran has offered a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping if the U.S. drops its military blockade of Iranian ports and vessels, sources tell CBS News. But the offer apparently includes no concessions on Iran's nuclear program, which President Trump has insisted must be dismantled as part of any agreement to end the two-month war. o Hezbollah's leader has flatly rejected the U.S.-brokered negotiations between Israel and Lebanon, "and their outcomes," raising new doubt over the tenuous ceasefire in the parallel war and further complicating prospects for a U.S.-Iran deal. o Mr. Trump abruptly called off plans over the...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |
