Early results on "Swiss Brexit" indicate defeat of measure that would cap population at 10 million Voters in Switzerland have cast their final ballots on Sunday on an initiative championed by the top right-wing party to cap the rich Alpine country's population at 10 million. Early results showed Swiss voters were leaning against it. The populist Swiss People's Party, which has the most seats in parliament, has stirred up and fostered anti-migration sentiment over the years, notably about an influx of workers from the neighboring European Union. Some have dubbed the proposal a "Swiss Brexit" because it could jeopardize Switzerland's deep ties to the European Union anchored by deals that foster economic growth, cultural ties and cross-border travel, among other things....more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The Trump administration says its memorandum of understanding is far superior to the Obama administration's 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and will do much more to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth insists it will be different from the JCPOA because the U.S. will "make sure the military option is there," something Mr. Trump...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Federal Reserve holds interest rates steady but leaves door open to hike The Federal Reserve on Wednesday left its benchmark interest rate unchanged amid resurgent inflation, but nearly half of its policymakers said they would support a rate hike later this year. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) kept the federal funds rate, which affects borrowing costs for consumers and businesses, in its current range of 3.5% to 3.75%. Economists had widely expected the central bank to keep rates steady. The so-called easing bias — a sentence in recent FOMC policy statements signaling the central bank was leaning toward cutting interest rates — was removed from the June guidance, which was significantly slimmer than the...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Luigi Mangione's lawyers will argue psychiatric defense in New York state murder trial A state court hearing revealed Luigi Mangione's lawyers will argue that he was suffering from an extreme emotional disturbance when he allegedly killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City in December 2024.

Social Security recipients face looming benefit cuts. Can the program be saved? Social Security's trust fund is projected to run out of money in just six years, triggering automatic cuts in retirement and disability benefits. Yet experts say the program's financial problems are fixable — if lawmakers are willing to make difficult choices. The latest trustees' report found that Social Security's finances are being strained by an aging population, lower immigration and tax changes. But unlike some fiscal challenges, the retirement program's funding gap can be closed through a combination of higher taxes, lower benefits or both, according to policy analysts. In other words, the debate is less about whether Social Security can be saved than which Americans should...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

But similar accounts are becoming increasingly common on Russian military channels, suggesting that more Russians are becoming aware of the war and its toll on their side — a toll Kremlin officials have long sought to shield from view. The war has inflicted staggering losses on Russia's young men. The director of the British intelligence agency GCHQ said...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

StubHub accused of failing to deliver pricey World Cup tickets World Cup fans who thought they had bought pricey match tickets at the ongoing soccer tournament are suing StubHub, alleging that the ticket broker failed to deliver them.

That violated StubHub's own terms of service, according to the suit. A second plaintiff said he spent nearly $3,000...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Why LeBron James should sign with the Minnesota Timberwolves LeBron James is currently a free agent, and despite the mountains of speculation piling up around him, it's hard to imagine anyone really knows what he's going to do. That might even apply to him. The reporting thus far has indicated that he has welcomed pitches from teams around the league. While a few expected favorites have emerged, enough teams seem to believe that they have a realistic chance of signing him that it's reasonable to assume he's going into this process with an open mind. So what is he looking for? When James decided to return for a 24th season, a source familiar with James' thinking told ESPN that he wanted to play "meaningful, competitive basketball." We can assume, for the sake of argument, that this rules out noncompetitive teams. Being able to win...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Quasars are powered by supermassive black holes at the heart of early galaxies gobbling up surrounding matter in a colossal feeding frenzy that can shine trillions of times brighter than the sun.

Who will replace Graham Platner if he drops out? Here's how Democrats could pick a new Maine Senate nominee. Washington — Democrats are facing a rapidly closing window to replace Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner on the ballot amid a sexual assault allegation — if he decides to drop out. At stake is one of the most closely watched and heavily contested Senate races of the year, as national Democrats seek to deny Republican Sen. Susan Collins a sixth term. Platner is under immense pressure to drop out of the race from the Maine Democratic Party and top national Democrats, and a vow from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee not to invest in Platner. Support for his campaign collapsed shortly after a woman he previously dated, Jenny Racicot, told Politico and CNN that Platner sexually assaulted her in 2021 — an allegation...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

U.S. rescinds waiver permitting Iranian oil sales after Iran attacks tankers The Trump administration on Tuesday revoked a waiver that allowed Iranian oil sales, a key source of revenue for the regime, after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked three tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. The Treasury Department said that "General License X," which was issued two weeks ago as part of an interim peace deal between the U.S. and Iran and exempted Iranian oil sales from U.S. sanctions, would be superseded by a narrower waiver called "General License X1." The new license does not authorize any new Iranian oil sales after Tuesday. It allows a grace period until July 17 for transactions already in process and authorized under the previous license, with the money from those sales placed in a "blocked,...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

FIFA criticized for decision to lift U.S. star's red card suspension following Trump phone call FIFA is being criticized over its decision to lift the red card suspension for leading U.S. Men's National Team scorer Folarin Balogun, allowing him to play against Belgium on Monday night. The Union of European Football Associations, Europe's soccer governing body, said FIFA "crossed a red line," and expressed its "disbelief" at a decision it called "unprecedented, incomprehensible and unjustifiable." "When the certainty of rules is no longer guaranteed by its guardians, the integrity of the game is at stake and the credibility of a competition is undermined," the governing body said in a statement.

Prince Harry loses legal battle against Daily Mail publisher as top U.K. court dismisses all claims London — Britain's Prince Harry has lost his long-running legal battle against the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday tabloid newspapers, according to court documents seen by CBS News on Tuesday. All claims were thrown out by the court in what is widely expected to be the last of the prince's courtroom battles against British media outlets. Harry, the Duke of Sussex, was among several claimants in the case — along with pop star Elton John and actor Elizabeth Hurley — who accused the publisher of the popular tabloids, Associated Newspapers (ANL), of unlawfully gathering information about them through methods such as phone tapping, intercepting voicemails and impersonating people to obtain personal...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

J.K. Simmons: A real character Like so many New Yorkers, Jonathan Kimble Simmons was born elsewhere, but this is home. And like so many New York actors, J.K. Simmons once waited tables at the legendary restaurant Joe Allen. Was he a good waiter? "You know what? Not very good," he said. "I worked hard. I was pleasant, you know. I tried to be charming. I was not organized. This would have taken me, like, five trips to set up [this table], yeah. And the butter would already be melting by the time I got it here." Simmons, who's a far better actor than waiter, stars in "The Westies," a new series out next week on MGM+. It's about the Irish-American mobsters who ruled the West Side of New York in the 1980s.

| Switching to a cheaper health plan delayed a man's access to vital medicine: "He didn't deserve to die like that" By the time Derion Blackman collapsed in front of a Dollar General in Kissimmee, Florida, in March, he had been waiting two months to regain access to some of the vital medications he'd been taking since undergoing a heart transplant two years ago. "He was on a nasty, dirty ground in front of a store," recalled Sonja Smith, who is enraged about the circumstances that led to her husband's heart failure. "He didn't deserve to die like that." Problems started last year when the couple learned the monthly premium payment for their Federal Employees Health Benefits plan would more than double to $307 and their deductible would also go up. They decided to switch Blackman's primary coverage to CHAMPVA, a health benefits program for dependents of disabled veterans, which had no premium and a $3,000 deductible. Smith thought she and Blackman had carefully prepared so that the transition between health plans would be seamless. It was anything...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

As it approached a gas field just off Ukraine's southern coast, operators monitoring the feed saw what appeared to be Russian soldiers and military equipment on top of an oil rig.

Jet fuel prices have dropped. Why are plane tickets still so expensive? Jet fuel prices are finally easing after soaring during the Iran war. But airline passengers shouldn't expect cheaper tickets anytime soon, as strong travel demand and the recent collapse of Spirit Airlines keep fares elevated, according to air travel experts. Lower fuel costs would normally ease pressure on airfare prices. Yet analysts say airlines have little incentive to cut fares while demand remains strong and industry capacity has shrunk following Spirit Airlines' shutdown. Air fares are also remaining elevated due to what economists call the "rockets and feathers" effect: Prices shoot up quickly when costs rise, but tend to drift down more slowly when those costs ease.
