Trump secretly switched to different plane in Turkey amid Iran missile threat Shortly before Air Force One took off from Turkey at the end of last month's NATO summit, President Trump secretly slipped away from the presidential jet and was whisked to another plane with the help of an airport catering truck, according to a U.S. official with direct knowledge of the matter. The ruse was employed because the U.S. had learned of a threat from Iran and its allied proxies. U.S. intelligence had detected a credible plot to fire a missile at the plane Mr. Trump was on as he left the Turkish capital of Ankara, CBS News reported exclusively. The president had expressed awareness of the risks posed by the U.S.-Iran war, calling himself Iran's "number one...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Powerball jackpot nears $1 billion mark after no one won $905 million grand prize There were no winning tickets sold for Monday night's $905 million Powerball jackpot so the estimated grand prize for Wednesday night's drawing will be at least $975 million, Powerball says. The estimated cash value would be at least $422.3 million. Jackpots tend to grow as more and more tickets are sold. Monday's winning numbers were 6, 37, 54, 55, 64 with a Powerball of 10. The estimated cash value would come into play if the holder of a winning ticket chooses a lump-sum payout rather than 30 annuity payments spanning 29 years, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association.

But Jennifer McEntire, founder of food safety consulting firm Food Safety Strategy, drew an important distinction between the two recalls. Taylor Farms did not grow the jalapeños used to make a variety of pepper-based products, including pico de gallo salsa and guacamole, that it has now recalled due to salmonella risks.

| Bears owner responds to speculation of a possible name change if the team moves to Indiana A change of venue could be coming for the Bears, but will it affect their team name?  If the Chicago Bears end up moving to Indiana, the team will not be undergoing any sort of name change. There was some speculation this week that the 106-year-old NFL franchise might change its name to the Indiana Bears if the team decides to move to Hammond, Indiana, but owner George McCaskey shot that down on Thursday. During a press conference, McCaskey was asked point blank if a name change might happen if the team left Illinois and he responded emphatically. "We will be the Chicago Bears whether we are in Arlington [Heights] or whether we are in Hammond," McCaskey said. The Bears called the press conference to talk about the...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Arch Manning, Drew Mestemaker voted college football's most overrated players We polled a litany of player personnel executives on what they really thought about the 10 players who crown CBS Sports' Top 150  Arch Manning isn't a top 10 quarterback in the country, let alone a top 10 player. That's how one veteran NFL evaluator assessed college football's biggest name. Manning draws polarizing opinions that range from future No. 1 overall pick to vastly overrated, as the scout believed. Just think about what the internet made of the viral catch made by Manning's new top receiver, Cam Coleman. The NFL evaluator's claim sounded hyperbolic so we pressed him to name 10 quarterbacks who were better. Eventually, after going...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Americans' paychecks are getting swallowed by rent. See how much people pay in major U.S. cities. Sky-high rental costs across the U.S. are swallowing up a large share of Americans' paychecks in cities, as a stubborn supply shortage keeps prices elevated. According to Zillow, the median rent for a two-bedroom home in New York City, the country's priciest metro area, runs $4,750 a month — or $57,000 a year. That's more than two-thirds of the median household income, according to 2023 Census Bureau data. Meanwhile, the high cost of keeping a roof over your head is weighing on Americans across the country, with the median annual rent now at $21,480, Zillow's data shows.

The Gunners made a massive statement in Cardiff as Martin Odegaard and a rejuvenated Arsenal outclassed Manchester City in the Community Shield  It would be unwise to get too high or too low on either Arsenal or Manchester City off the back of the most semi-competitive game either will play between now and early June. The Community Shield is not much of an indicator of anything, hence why its winners have gone on to claim the Premier League title in just one of the last 15 years.

Most global trade flows through these 27 chokepoints. The economic risks are rising, report says. The Iran war has underscored how disruptions to a key shipping route thousands of miles away can have a material impact on what American consumers pay at home for essentials like gasoline. The conflict, now nearing its six-month mark, has throttled traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for global energy shipments, as strikes on commercial vessels raise concerns about the passageway's safety. The slowdown has caused global oil prices to surge, pushing gasoline past $4 a gallon and fueling broader inflation. The U.S. and Iran have made multiple attempts to broker a peace deal, but talks have unraveled as the two sides continue to vie for control of the Strait of Hormuz, an indication of how key waterways can become instruments of...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

That's compared to 50% of women who were hired into non-AI positions. Such jobs command a pay premium as corporations invest billions in the new tech, leading to a doubling in AI job postings on the site since 2023.

Why Dubai may be vital to the Trump administration's economic war on Iran President Trump threatened this week to wield an "unprecedented" level of economic warfare against Iran, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent vowed to "collapse" the Islamic Republic regime with the "toughest sanctions in history." But the effectiveness of a bolstered economic campaign against Iran may rest largely on one close U.S. ally in the Persian Gulf, the United Arab Emirates. The Emirati city of Dubai, the Middle East's leading financial center, has long had a reputation as a hub for opaque economic activity. For Iran in particular, the city has offered ways to skirt international sanctions and gain access to vital funds from its sale of oil to countries like...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The nation's unemployment rate fell to 4.1% in July, well within the range economists consider healthy. Yet that measure, which reflects the percentage of people over the age of 16 who don't have a job and who are looking for work, is an imprecise metric that fails to offer a full picture of the health of the job sector, according to Gene Ludwig, chairman of the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity (LISEP).

Bill Gates issues stark warning about AI's impact on American jobs Bill Gates is sounding the alarm about artificial intelligence, warning in a new essay that the technology will rapidly transform the U.S. labor market and put millions of jobs at risk. AI is changing the economy much faster than previous technological revolutions, advancing at what the Microsoft co-founder called a "mind-blowing rate" and leaving less time to prepare for employment disruptions. "AI will take on work in law, customer service, medicine, software, and manufacturing. It will hit these industries rapidly, over the course of a decade rather than a few generations," Gates wrote in an article posted on his personal website published on Wednesday.

Canada's tit-for-tat tariffs of up to 50% on $20 billion worth of American goods announced Tuesday are a dollar-for-dollar retaliation against the Trump administration's 50% tariffs on Canadian products – the latest volley in a widening trade war.

Will Trump's Venezuela oil deal lower U.S. gas prices? Here's what experts say. President Trump on Friday said a U.S. deal with Venezuela to tap its oil reserves "will substantially lower Gas Prices for all Americans, long into the future." With the average U.S. gas price still above $4 a gallon nationwide, American consumers may be wondering if help is on the way. Don't hold your breath, energy experts said. The agreement with the U.S. involves the development of 17 strategic oil fields in Venezuela that hold proven reserves of 65 billion barrels of oil, Venezuelan state media reported on Saturday. Although tapping the crude could eventually lead to more oil...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Austin Creed and Kofi reflect on 'easy' decision to leave WWE over pay cut: 'We didn't cry' Formerly WWE's New Day, the New Level left their old identities behind after an electric debut at AEW All In  AEW AEW All In was the most appropriate place for the New Level's debut. Austin Creed and Kofi's first night in AEW ended with them standing inside Wembley Stadium -- with more than 40,000 fans in attendance -- as champions. It was an incredible payoff for betting on themselves after WWE failed to bargain with them. Months earlier, Creed and Kofi (formerly The New Day's Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston) were asked to take significant pay cuts to remain with WWE,...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

"2023 was the high-water mark for salary increases, and since then, we've seen them moderate," Marsh compensation expert Mark Bowling told CBS News. "We may have reached a new normal for what organizations are budgeting for salary increases." Marsh noted that most employers have yet to finalize their budgeting decisions.

Is China's EV market takeover inevitable as Chinese automakers prepare to gain a foothold in North America? On the outskirts of the Chinese port city of Ningbo, surrounded by lush green hills topped with giant wind turbines to harness the power of the gales off the East China Sea, is a factory where bosses believe they're making the cars of the future. It's where the Geely Auto Group, one of China's largest EV makers, produces its luxury brand Zeekr. The name is a merging of two concepts — Zee stands for Generation Z, and Kr is the chemical symbol for Krypton. Yes, the same element at the heart of the rock that drains Superman's powers. Is it a metaphor for what's ahead, as China appears to be on course to dominate the global auto market?...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

People are turning to BNPL loans to pay for rent, food and other necessities "Buy now, pay later" loans were originally promoted as a way to help consumers afford small purchases, such as electronics and clothing. Now, financial firms are also pushing the loans as a means for people to cover essential expenses, such as rent, groceries, electricity bills and even medical costs. Consumer advocates warn that using BNPL loans for daily necessities and other critical expenses is risky, noting that lenders sometimes obscure the potential costs of these short-term loans. A recent poll from Protect Borrowers, a nonprofit advocacy group that investigates financial abuses, found that many BNPL users report using the loans for essentials, including for rental or...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Social Security overpaid a woman by $35,000. Now the agency wants its money back — pronto. More than 75 million Americans rely on Social Security checks each month to help them get by. But sometimes recipients get a financially painful surprise: a notice from the Social Security Administration that their retirement or disability benefits were overpaid — often by thousands of dollars — and that they need to repay the money. Fast. That's what happened to one Social Security recipient in her mid-70s who was recently told she owes the agency $35,000. She isn't alone: The agency sends millions of overpayment notices to beneficiaries each year.
