A young male moose known as Emil has been captured in Austria and taken to the border with the neighboring Czech Republic after spending the summer roaming across central Europe.

The moose was tranquilized on Monday, fitted with a GPS tag, and released, with Austrian officials saying they would track him for 30 days.

Scientists have discovered a new dinosaur from Argentina with powerful claws, feasting on an ancient crocodile bone.

The new find was possibly 23 feet long and hailed from a mysterious group of dinosaurs called megaraptorans. They prowled across what's now South America, Australia and parts of Asia, splitting off into different species over millions of years.

Megaraptorans were known for their stretched-out skulls and "huge and very powerful...more

An art restorer points at the image of a dog in Rembrandt's Night Watch at Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum, Netherlands, Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2025. PETER DEJONG / AP

It didn't exactly take dogged detective work for an art sleuth in Amsterdam to solve a canine conundrum dating back to the Dutch Golden Age.

Anne Lenders, a curator at the city's landmark Rijksmuseum, said Tuesday that it was more or less by accident that she discovered that the barking dog in Rembrandt van Rijn's famous "Night Watch" is a near-identical copy of one that features in a 1619 pen and ink drawing by fellow Dutch artist Adriaen van de Venne.

"I wasn't looking for this; it was really unexpected," Lenders...more

American stand-up comedian Tim Dillon says he has been dropped from the bill of Saudi Arabia's Riyadh Comedy Festival because of remarks he made about the country's alleged use of forced labor.

Dillon was one of many high-profile American comedians set to perform at what organizers have promised will be the "world's largest comedy festival," in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, starting on Friday.

Among the other big names set to perform are Bill Burr, Dave Chapelle and Kevin Hart.

The cost to heat your home this winter is expected to increase.

The cost to heat your home this winter is expected to increase.

Americans will dish out more money to heat their homes this winter as electricity and natural gas costs continue to soar.

That's according to a new study from the National Energy Assistance Directors Association (NEADA) which predicts that Americans will see their energy bill rise 7.6% to $976 on average this cold weather season. Those who rely on natural gas to heat their home could see an 8.4% jump in their bill, while those who use electricity could see a 10.2% increase.

While electricity prices vary by state, overall the cost is rising. In August, prices increased by 6.2% compared with the same month last year, according to the latest inflation data from the Bureau of Labor...more

Unai Emery is back in his happy place. After serving notice to his faltering side on Sunday, where they scored their first league goal of the season in an otherwise disastrous 1-1 draw with Sunderland, the Aston Villa manager needs the fillip that the Europa League has historically provided to him.

His four trophies, three with Sevilla and the 2021 title with Villarreal, make him the most successful manager in the history of both the competition and its predecessor, the UEFA Cup. Even when...more

Court convicts man of throwing puppy off cliff in front of partner, citing gender violence law in Spain

A court in Spain has convicted a man for killing a puppy in front of his partner in a ruling that for the first time applied a gender violence law to a case of animal abuse.

A specialist gender violence court on the island of Gran Canaria found the 18-year-old guilty of throwing the four-month-old puppy the couple jointly owned off a cliff while threatening to take his own life.

It handed him a suspended sentence of one year and one day in prison, according to the ruling dated September 22 obtained by AFP on Wednesday.

"The animal's death was intentionally employed as a means to inflict psychological damage," the court said.

As a result the...more

French navy seizes 9.6 tons of cocaine from fishing boat off coast of West Africa

French navy seizes 9.6 tons of cocaine from fishing boat off coast of West Africa

The French navy has seized nearly 10 tons of cocaine worth more than $600 million from a fishing vessel off the coast of West Africa, French authorities said on Thursday.

The seizure by two navy ships on Monday followed a tip-off by anti-drug and maritime intelligence authorities and British police, authorities in France's northwestern Atlantic Maritime region said.

The operation was part of France's Corymbe naval mission, which has been deployed in the Gulf of Guinea since 1990 to ensure security in an area where piracy is fairly common.

"In total, 9.6 tons of cocaine with a market value of nearly 519 million euros ($609 million) was seized from a boat," the Atlantic Maritime...more

How New York City FC's collapse paved the way for more Lionel Messi magic in Inter Miami win

Inter Miami cruised to a 4-0 win at New York City FC on Wednesday with three goals in 12 minutes but even before their late flurry, the damage was done

How New York City FC's collapse paved the way for more Lionel Messi magic in Inter Miami win
USATSI

There were reasons for New York City FC to be optimistic as they hit the pitch at Citi Field, where a soccer pitch was jammed inside a baseball diamond on Wednesday as they welcomed Inter Miami. NYCFC entered the match in fourth place and had five wins in their last six, rising up the table at just the right time with the MLS Cup playoffs within sight. They played a fairly even first half, too, against a Miami team who were under pressure to make their three games in hand count, nor were the hosts out of the game as they entered...more

A woman found dead in Spain 20 years ago has been identified after an international campaign to resolve cold cases.

"The woman in pink" case dates back to July 2005, when a body was found by a road in a small town in Barcelona. The woman was wearing a pink floral top, pink pants and pink shoes, the international police agency Interpol said in a news release. She had been dead for less than 24 hours, and authorities believed her death was suspicious because evidence showed her body had been moved before its discovery.

In 2023, Interpol launched the "Identify Me" campaign, which seeks to name women who were murdered or died under...more

"I am on top of the highest mountain in the world and I'm going to descend it on skis," Bargiel said in a video posted on Instagram early on Thursday.

She lived to be the world's oldest person. A new study credits genetic variants — and maybe her yogurt habit.
Maria Branyas Morera HANDOUT

When Maria Branyas Morera died last year at 117 years and 168 days old, she was the oldest known person in the world. Before she died, she asked doctors to study her.

Dr. Manel Esteller, chairman of Genetics at the University of Barcelona's School of Medicine, spent three years analyzing Branyas' health. A study, published online Wednesday, by Esteller and a cohort of colleagues found that a mix of factors contributed to Branyas' longevity.

"The conclusion is that the clues for extreme longevity are a mix between what we inherited from our parents and what we do in our lives," Esteller said. "And this...more

HSBC says it used quantum computing to improve bond trading — a world-first

HSBC on Thursday announced it has successfully used quantum computing in a trial to optimize bond trading, making it the first in the world to prove the value of the powerful emerging technology in the financial services industry.

Philip Intallura, HSBC's group head of quantum technologies, called the trial a "ground-breaking world-first." He expanded on the technology in a company video included in the announcement, saying the improvement in trade predictions ultimately...more

The U.S. Coast Guard says it seized over $220 million worth of cocaine in multiple recent interceptions of alleged drug boats. At least one operation apparently left a small vessel burning.

The crew of the USCG Cutter Midgett intercepted four different alleged drug-smuggling vessels off the coasts of Mexico, Central America and South America during August and September, the agency said in a news release Thursday. Coast Guard members seized about 21,126...more

Sinclair and Nexstar bringing back Jimmy Kimmel Live on their stations


Two major TV station owners, Sinclair Broadcasting and Nexstar Media Group, announced on Friday that they are returning "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to their ABC stations, ending the preemption of the late-night show over remarks Kimmel had made following the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Amid the catastrophe at Grimsby, the deluge of Erling Haaland runs up the gut and the furore over the transfer business, there was a counterpoint that kept humming in the background. The memes and the moans might say one thing but the data really did insist that Manchester United were improving with Ruben Amorim at the helm.

It wasn't some trick of the eye or a weird sample size skewing things in Amorim's favor. Since the start of April, United had the fifth best expected goal difference in the Premier...more

Amazon to pay $2.5 billion to settle federal claims it misled Prime members

Amazon agreed to pay $2.5 billion to settle a Federal Trade Commission case over whether it duped customers into signing up for Prime and made it difficult for customers to cancel their membership.

As part of the settlement, announced Thursday, Amazon will provide $1.5 billion in refunds to customers that were harmed by what FTC referred to as "deceptive Prime enrollment practices." About 35 million Prime customers who were impacted by the practices could qualify for $51 each as part of the settlement, the FTC said in legal documents.

Amazon is also required to pay a $1 billion civil penalty, the largest in any FTC rule violation case to date. The FTC said the $1.5 billion payout to customers...more

Electronic Arts, video game company behind The Sims and Madden NFL, to be acquired in $55 billion deal

Video game company Electronic Arts (EA), known as the maker of the "The Sims" and "Madden NFL," is being acquired in a $55 billion deal.

The California-based company said Monday it had entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by a consortium of companies that includes Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund PIF; private equity firm Silver Lake, and Miami-based investment firm Affinity Partners, which is led by President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.

If finalized, the deal would be the most expensive acquisition of a public company to be taken private in history — surpassing $32 billion paid to Texas utility TXU in 2007 to go private.

Arsenal may have done it the hard way but the Gunners made up ground in the Premier League title race on Sunday, coming from behind to win 2-1 at Newcastle United as late goals and set pieces continue to be their trademark game-winning habits.

The Gunners were essentially the dominant side from start to finish but had to deal with an ironic patch of adversity at St. James' Park – they played 50 minutes down 1-0, Newcastle scoring off a set piece as Sandro Tonali connected with new signing Nick Woltemade in the 34th minute.

In its push to hold captured territory in Ukraine, Russia has turned to countries like North Korea for added manpower. Now, it appears additional support is also coming from Cuban mercenaries.

Videos obtained by CBS News appear to show Cuban nationals captured by Ukraine on the front lines with Russia. Ukrainian officials estimate as many as 20,000 Cubans have been recruited by Russia to fight as mercenaries.

"Cubans are looking for any way to get out," Florida GOP Rep. Mario Diaz Balart said. "They're recruiting Cubans from around the island with these false promises."

Human remains found in Canadian well identified as woman born in 1881

Canadian authorities have identified a person known as "The Woman in the Well" nearly two decades after her remains were found.

The woman, Alice Spence, was born in September 1881 and had moved to Canada from Minnesota in 1913, police said.

In June 2006, crews excavating a site in Sutherland, Saskatoon, found an old well and a barrel containing preserved human remains, according to a news release from the Saskatoon Police Service. The area was previously the site of the Shore Hotel, a boarding house that was demolished in 1927, according to a news release from the private genetic genealogy company Othram.

The woman had been partially dismembered, police believed, and was wrapped in a burlap sack...more

Dolly Parton is postponing her upcoming Las Vegas concerts over recent "health challenges," she announced Sunday.

Parton, who experienced the lost her husband of over 60 years in March, appeared in good spirit, joking that "it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it's not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!"

Due to her health problems, Parton said she won't be able to rehearse for the Vegas show, but she will still be able to work on all her other projects from Nashville.

On Sunday night in Phoenix, as the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx's hopes for a WNBA championship came to an end in Game 4 of their semifinal series against the Phoenix Mercury, Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve was nowhere to be found.

That's because the day prior, the WNBA handed Reeve a one-game suspension due to her "comments and conduct" in the waning seconds and aftermath of the Lynx's Game 3 loss to the Mercury, including "aggressively pursuing and verbally abusing a game official on the court, failure to leave the court in a timely manner upon her ejection with 21.8...more

"Due to a bomb threat in connection with the explosion in northern Munich, the Theresienwiese [Oktoberfest location] will not open until 17:00," the city government said in a message shared online.

The president of Concacaf on Wednesday insisted that President Trump's suggestion he might strip World Cup games from host cities he does not like has not been taken into consideration by FIFA.

Speaking in the Oval Office last week, Trump responded to a question about "immigration, crime and the World Cup" in lengthy fashion, addressing cities such as San Francisco and Seattle that will host games as well as Chicago and Memphis which the tournament will not visit. He concluded by warning "if I think [a host city] isn't...more

AI-generated actress sparks outrage in Hollywood as creator seeks representation

AI-generated actor sparks outrage in Hollywood as creator seeks representation

Like thousands of actors, Tilly Norwood is looking for a Hollywood agent. Her greatest role? Pretending to be human.

That's because Tilly Norwood is a 100% AI-generated product, created by Dutch producer and comedian Eline Van der Velden, founder of a company named Xicoia, which bills itself as the world's first artificial intelligence talent studio. Velden pitches her AI creation as the next Scarlett Johansson, and says there are several agents vying to represent it, CBS News' Jo Ling Kent reported recently.

Since Velden launched the digital character's prospective career, Tilly Norwood has been all the talk in Hollywood.

But not in a good way. Guilds, actors and filmmakers have met the Xicoia...more

Almost a year ago, Bayern Munich's Harry Kane scored a goal that wouldn't impact the result in a 4-1 loss to Barcelona, but it did make an impact on Wednesday. Paris Saint-Germain striker Goncalo Ramos was watching that goal, and he says it helped him beat Barcelona's high line for PSG to win 2-1 on Wednesday in UCL play. Coming off the bench for the visitors, Ramos delivered the goal, and it shows the attention to detail that PSG have when preparing for games, as he was quite aware of how Kane took apart Barcelona.

Researchers from Purdue University are set to travel to the South Pacific to determine if a "visual anomaly" on a remote island is the wreck of Amelia Earhart's lost plane, saying there is "very strong" evidence the object is the iconic aviator's aircraft.

Earhart was attempting to become the first female pilot to circle the world when she and navigator Fred Noonan disappeared over the Pacific Ocean on July 2, 1937. Earhart, Noonan and their plane, an Electra 10E, were never found. Recently, President Donald...more

Ukraine's state emergency service said the Russian drone attack hit a "farming enterprise in the Novovodolazka community" in the Kharkiv region. A worker at the farm was injured.

Photos released by the service showed pig carcasses piled up in cramped sheds that were partly burned down, some with their roofs shattered.

It was discovered in 1799 by two people, and its contents were looted, including the sarcophagus, Egyptian antiquities authorities said.

Apple removes app that tracks ICE agents from its App Store, developer says

Apple has removed an app used to track Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from its App Store, with the developer saying in a social media post that it had been told by the technology company that its ICEBlock app had been removed due to "objectionable content."

The app, which is free, relies on crowdsourcing to track ICE agents, with the company noting that it allows people to report sightings of ICE activities "within a 5 mile radius of your current location." The app crossed 1 million downloads a month ago, the developer said. In its social media post, the ICEBlock developer blamed "pressure from the Trump Admin." for the decision.

More Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, putting retirement out of reach, report finds

Many Americans are eager to put money away for retirement, but that goal is increasingly out of reach because more workers are living paycheck to paycheck, a new Goldman Sachs study finds.

Roughly 42% of younger working Americans — spanning Gen Z, millennials and Gen X — report having no spare savings after covering their basic living expenses, according to the analysis, which surveyed about 3,600 workers and 1,500 retirees. Among those just getting by, about three-quarters said they are struggling to save for retirement, the survey found.

The share of U.S. workers in this precarious financial position has grown significantly since 1997, when 31% lived paycheck to...more

With rollout of new album, Taylor Swift once again turns her lyrical skills into a business strategy

The world's most recognizable showgirl may be entering a new era, but there's no sign that Taylor Swift's gold rush is slowing down.

Swift is the only female musical artist in history to sell more than 100 million albums. Her newest album, "The Life of a Showgirl," created a frenzy when it was released Friday.

"In terms of a business person, Taylor is at the top," said Kevin Evers, author of the new book "There's Nothing Like This: The Strategic Genius of Taylor Swift," and a senior editor at the Harvard Business Review. "She's always been extremely business savvy, and we can see this with this release, too."

The Texas Rangers have named Skip Schumaker as their new manager, the club announced on Friday. The move comes days after the team and former manager Bruce Bochy, who in 2023 led Texas to its first World Series title in franchise history, mutually agreed to part ways.

Schumaker, 45, becomes the 21st manager in franchise history. He previously managed the Miami Marlins for two seasons, including a 2023 campaign in which he guided them to 84 wins and a postseason berth. That earned him National League Manager of the Year honors. After that season, the Marlins...more

She specifically denied the alleged comments on how Caitlin Clark "should be grateful she makes $16 million off the court, because without the platform that the WNBA gives her, she wouldn't make anything."

Engelbert addressed the situation in a press conference ahead of Friday's Game 1 of the WNBA Finals.

Oh for the halcyon era of eight days ago. Before Selhurst Park, Rams Park and Stamford Bridge, Liverpool had reasons to believe. They had not been playing to their collective level, but no matter. They had continually found ways to win. Maybe they could keep getting away with it?

Or perhaps when your games keep going into the 90th minute and beyond you might discover that there is nothing special about Slottage Time, that if the other team are still in it at the death they can swing a haymaker or two as well. And so the champions find...more

Barcelona's embarrassing 4-1 defeat at Sevilla on Sunday means Real Madrid are currently leading LaLiga and have all of the momentum ahead of the international break. The team coached by Hansi Flick lost their opportunity to be at the top of the standings heading into the second international break of the season, looking inconsistent in the process. After eight league games, Real Madrid are leading with a two-point margin on Barcelona after Flick's first defeat of the LaLiga season and the second one in a row after the Champions League loss against PSG, 2-1,...more

Amid face-off between U.S. and Venezuela, fishermen in Trinidad and Tobago fear for their lives and jobs

On a recent afternoon, Kenrick Modie finished untangling his fishing net in a quiet Caribbean village.

As he slipped into a hammock at his home overlooking the sea, he worried that his life and livelihood could be wiped out by a U.S. military strike.

Modie lives in the Caribbean twin-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, which is now entangled in a geopolitical face-off between the United States and Venezuela, just 11 miles away.

U.S. President Trump "is giving instructions to shoot and kill people," Modie said about recent U.S. military strikes targeting suspected drug vessels in the Caribbean as it bulks up its military presence in the region. "What could we...more

Mother of slain Israeli-American hostage hopes for end to war as 2-year mark approaches

Mother of slain Israeli-American hostage hopes for end to war as 2-year mark approaches

Tuesday will mark two years since the Hamas terror attack on Israel that kicked off the ongoing war — the day Hersh Goldberg-Polin was taken hostage, along with hundreds of others, and more than a year since he was found dead by Israeli troops inside Gaza.

"I think when it's a child, it's a unique brand of torment. You don't get better because when you're broken in a certain way, you just have to learn how to live within that brokenness," his mother, Rachel Goldberg-Polin, told CBS News.

Hersh Goldberg-Polin was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists from the Nova music festival on Oct. 7, 2023. About six months later, Hamas released a video of him alive, but after...more

Sean Diddy Combs lawyers want him at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security prison in N.J. that offers drug treatment

Sean "Diddy" Combs' lawyers want the hip-hop mogul sent to a low-security federal prison in New Jersey to serve his four-year, two-month prison sentence, telling a judge Monday that the facility's drug treatment program will help him stay clean.

In a letter, Combs' lawyers urged the judge presiding over his case, Arun Subramanian, to "strongly recommend" that the federal Bureau of Prisons place Combs at FCI Fort Dix, a massive prison located on the grounds of the joint military base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

FCI Fort Dix, one of several dozen federal prisons with a residential drug treatment program, will best allow Combs "to address drug abuse issues and to maximize...more

Here's what gold crossing $4,000 is telling us about the U.S. economy

Gold is glittering for investors, with prices now topping a record $4,000 an ounce. But the reasons behind the shiny metal's surge may be less than dazzling, with Wall Street analysts saying it reflects growing unease over the U.S. economy and political stability.

The price of gold has leaped 53% this year alone, far outpacing the 15% gain in the S&P 500 stock index over the same period. The price of an ounce of gold edged higher on Wednesday, touching $4,078, according to financial data company FactSet, with some analysts predicting it to go higher.

Bastian, a dog who survived Hurricane Florence, is named World's Cutest Rescue Dog by People magazine

A 7-year-old dog rescued from floodwaters during Hurricane Florence has been named People magazine's World's Cutest Rescue Dog. The announcement was made on Wednesday exclusively on "CBS Mornings."

Bastian beat out two other finalists, Apollo and Tiki, for the top spot. He was found waiting in floodwaters with his sister during the 2018 hurricane in South Carolina. After his rescue, he was brought to New Jersey, where he was the only dog not adopted at an adoption event— until Joelle Andres, his now-owner, took him home. His sister was adopted into another family.

"This has been so, so surreal," Andres said about the contest on "CBS Mornings."

Possible Nobel Peace Prize leak was "highly likely" espionage, committee secretary says

Possible Nobel Peace Prize leak was highly likely espionage, committee secretary says

A potential leak that preceded the announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was "highly likely" the result of espionage, the Nobel Institute told Norwegian media on Saturday.

The odds of Machado winning the prize jumped from 3.75% to nearly 73% overnight, Thursday to Frida,y on the predictive betting platform Polymarket.

However, no expert or media outlet had mentioned her as being among the favorites for the prize, which was announced just a few hours later in Oslo.

What's next in the Gaza peace plan after Israeli hostages released, Palestinian prisoners freed

What's next in the Gaza peace plan after Israeli hostages released, Palestinian prisoners freed

The next phase of the Gaza peace plan brokered by President Trump moved forward significantly on Monday as Hamas released all of the 20 living Israeli hostages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and detainees, and as more aid started to flow into the Palestinian territory after two years of war.

The steps are crucial parts of President Trump's 20-point peace plan, and they came three days after a ceasefire took effect in Gaza and Israeli troops pulled back to a pre-determined line.

World leaders, including Mr. Trump, met in Egypt on Monday for a summit on the future of Gaza and the broader Middle East.

But the situation remains fragile, with...more

14 people killed, 17 wounded in Ecuador attacks, with some victims showing signs of torture

Ecuador on Monday reported two attacks that left 14 people dead and 17 wounded, with some of the victims showing signs of torture.

The South American nation is a point of departure for cocaine shipments to the United States and Europe, and a hub for some 20 criminal groups involved in extortion and contract killings.

The first attack occurred around 11 pm Sunday (0400 GMT) in Guayaquil, Ecuador's largest city and the capital of Guayas province.

As many as seven people got off motorcycles and pickup trucks and fired shots at a neighborhood soccer game, local police colonel Carlos Fuentes told reporters.

The attack, which was attributed to the so-called...more

Trump says U.S. struck 5th boat accused of carrying drugs off coast of Venezuela killing 6

President Trump said Tuesday that the U.S. struck another small boat that he accused of carrying drugs in the waters off the coast of Venezuela.

The president said in a post on Truth Social that six people aboard the vessel were killed in the strike and no U.S. forces were harmed. It's the fifth deadly strike in the Caribbean, where the Trump administration has asserted it is treating alleged drug traffickers as unlawful combatants who must be met with military force. At least 27 people have been killed in the five strikes, according to figures released by the administration.

Nestle says it's slashing 16,000 jobs over next 2 years

Nestle, the Swiss food giant whose brands include Toll House cookies, Nespresso coffee, Gerber baby products and Perrier water, will eliminate 16,000 jobs worldwide over the next two years, its new chief executive said on Thursday.

Man dubbed White Tiger charged with murder over U.S. teen's livestreamed suicide

A man accused of luring children worldwide into a sadistic online abuse network was charged by German prosecutors Wednesday with hundreds of crimes — including murder, for a 13-year-old American's livestreamed suicide.

Using the pseudonym "White Tiger," the 21-year-old Hamburg man, a German-Iranian national, allegedly victimized more than 30 children with online sexual abuse, manipulation and exploitation as a part of a virtual network of abusers known as "764." In April, the network's leaders were arrested and charged for allegedly operating "one of the most heinous online child exploitation enterprises" officials have ever seen, according to the U.S. Justice Department.

Thousands of people in the United Kingdom have filed a joint legal claim estimated to be worth more than £1 billion ($1.34 billion) against Johnson & Johnson, accusing the U.S. pharmaceutical giant of selling baby powder that it knew was contaminated with carcinogenic asbestos.

The claim involves more than 3,000 people who developed various forms of cancer and other diseases and is based on internal Johnson & Johnson memos and scientific reports.

The company has long fought thousands of similar cases in the United States, and despite winning some appeals, in June last year it agreed to pay $700 million in a nationwide settlement to resolve allegations that it misled...more

Jeremy Allen White on how Bruce Springsteen gave him permission to become "The Boss"

Jeremy Allen White on how Bruce Springsteen gave him permission to become The Boss

Jeremy Allen White becomes "The Boss" in a new film, channeling Bruce Springsteen's raw vulnerability during one of the most introspective chapters of his life.

The Emmy Award-winning star of "The Bear" plays the lead role in "Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere," out Oct. 24. The biopic strips away the stadium rock legend to reveal a deeply human artist.

"I don't remember a time I didn't know the name Bruce Springsteen," White said.

White had no experience singing or playing guitar before taking on the role, but that didn't stop director Scott Cooper — or Bruce Springsteen himself — from believing in him.

After a call with Cooper, where White learned that Springsteen...more

King Charles and Pope Leo will pray together in the Sistine Chapel, officials say. Here's why it's historic.

The Catholic Church and Church of England will take a historic step on the path to unity next week when Britain's King Charles III and Pope Leo XIV pray together in the Sistine Chapel, officials said Friday.

The two churches have been divided for centuries over issues that now include the ordination of female priests, which the Catholic Church prohibits. An ecumenical prayer service on Oct. 23 will mark the first time since the Reformation, in the 16th century, that the heads of the two Christian churches pray together. The service will draw on the shared concern for care of God's creation.

Dogs count as cargo for airline liability, EU court rules, after passenger's pet goes missing

Dogs count as cargo for airline liability, EU court rules, after passenger's pet goes missing

The European Union's top court ruled Thursday that a dog traveling in an airplane's cargo hold counts as baggage, meaning airlines are not required to pay higher compensation if the animal is lost.

The ruling stems from a dispute between Spanish airline Iberia and a passenger whose dog, Mona, went missing before a flight from Buenos Aires to Barcelona in October 2019.

The dog, which had to travel in a pet carrier in the aircraft's hold due to its size and weight, escaped while being taken to the plane and was never seen again.

Mona ran across the airport runway while being chased by three vans, according to her owner, Grisel Ortiz, who said her mother watched the scene...more

Britain's Prince Andrew will not use his royal titles, including the Duke of York, any longer, he said in a statement released by Buckingham Palace on Friday. The announcement comes after the release of excerpts from a posthumous memoir by Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who had repeatedly claimed to have been sexually trafficked by the late financier to Andrew.

"In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family," Andrew, the younger brother of King Charles III, said in the statement.

The skeletal remains were found in 2011 during a dig at the Roman city of Mursa, located in modern-day Croatia, in a water well that had been repurposed as a mass grave, said the researchers, who are from a number of European archaeological institutions. The area was conquered by Romans during the first century B.C., and the city was an "important trade and craft center" that bordered an active military zone,...more

Ford recalls more than 740,000 vehicles over camera display, steering and seatbelt issues

Ford is recalling a total of nearly 750,000 vehicles over camera display, steering and seatbelt issues, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Camera display
More than 290,000 vehicles in the U.S. are under recall by the U.S. automaker for a rearview camera display issue, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.

According to the recall notice, dated Oct. 10, the 360-degree camera system in affected Ford vehicles may not display rearview images properly in certain lighting conditions, hampering the driver's ability to see behind them, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

The recall includes certain...more

It was always going to end this way. Not because Nottingham Forest are the Premier League's most chaotic club, though they probably are. It doesn't really matter in this case. No matter how effective the organization around him, Ange Postecglou could never have made it work at Nottingham Forest.

One of the sport's most didactic coaches, at the helm of a squad as ill suited to his philosophy as any? If anything it is remarkable he even got to game eight, a 3-0 defeat at home to...more

French authorities may well manage to track down and arrest the thieves who pulled off an audacious robbery of royal crown jewels from Paris' iconic Louvre museum, but they're unlikely to recover the national treasures, a criminologist told CBS News on Tuesday. The heist took place on Sunday, in broad daylight with tourists in the museum, but nobody was hurt.

"We will catch them," Alain Bauer, a professor of criminology at France's National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts, told...more

Indonesia signed an agreement on Tuesday to repatriate two British nationals, including a seriously ill grandmother on death row for more than a decade on drug charges, a minister said.

The thieves who stole priceless jewelry from the Louvre are reviving memories of an audacious gang that stole $500 million in valuables in a series of daring heists that took place over nearly two decades.

The Pink Panthers targeted jewelry stores and museums in Europe and Asia and carried out some of the largest heists in history, raking in half a billion dollars worth of stolen goods between the early 1990s and mid-2010s.

There is no evidence that the theft at the Louvre is connected to the Pink Panthers, but the brazen nature of the robbery was similar to those carried out by the gang....more

She favors a strong economy and a strong military, and, according to interviews with Japanese media, a strong drum riff.

Crown jewels that were stolen in a dramatic weekend heist at the Louvre are worth an estimated 88 million euros, or $102 million, not including their historical value to France, the Paris prosecutor said Tuesday.

About 100 investigators are now involved in the police hunt for the gems and heist suspects, said prosecutor Laure Beccuau, whose office is leading the investigation.

Two buses and two other vehicles crashed early Wednesday on a highway in western Uganda, killing at least 46 people, police said, in one of the worst motor accidents in the East African country in recent years.

Police initially gave the death toll as 63 in a statement sent to reporters, but later revised it to 46, saying in another statement that some people found unconscious at the crash scene were actually still alive.

School in Sweden locked down after suspected hand grenades discovered, reports say

A school in Sweden was temporarily locked down on Wednesday after two suspected hand grenades were found nearby.

"All students, parents and teachers have been informed and no one is allowed to leave the school," Susanne Karlsson, the school's administrator, told Swedish state broadcaster SVT. "Staff are walking around the school talking to students who have any questions. We're following our routine."

About 800 students attend the school, which SVT said was in the Hässleholmen area of the city of Borås, about 40 miles east of Gothenburg.

Police were called to the scene at around 7:30 a.m. local time on Wednesday, when the first suspected grenade was found. Soon after, a...more

Mosquitoes have been discovered in Iceland for the first time, a researcher told the AFP Monday. The volcanically active country has long been one of the world's few mosquito-free places.

Three Culiseta annulata mosquitoes, two females and one male, were sighted around 20 miles north of Reykjavik, the country's capital, according to Matthías Alfreðsson, an entomologist at the Natural Science Institute of Iceland.

"They were all collected from wine ropes ... aimed at attracting moths," the researcher said in an email, referring to a method of adding sugar to heated wine and dipping ropes or strips of fabric into the solution,...more

Woman arrested over theft of gold worth $1.7 million from Paris Natural History Museum

A Chinese woman has been arrested and charged over the theft of gold from the Natural History Museum in Paris, in one of several recent high-profile break-ins targeting French cultural institutions, a prosecutor said Tuesday.

The theft — by what the museum's director at the time said was an "extremely professional team" — took place on Sept. 16, a little over a month before an audacious jewelry heist at the world-famous Louvre museum on Sunday.

A 24-year-old Chinese woman was arrested in Barcelona on Sept. 30 over the Natural History Museum break-in and theft of gold worth more than $1 million, Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said.

Tariffs are starting to bite consumers and businesses, economists say

Tariffs are starting to bite consumers and businesses, economists say

Trump administration tariffs imposed this year on dozens of nations and a range of industries are fueling inflation, especially for goods that are widely imported into the U.S., a recent analysis shows.

Product categories seeing some of the biggest price hikes due to tariffs include furniture, car parts, electronics and musical instruments, according to economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The findings are based on research models estimating tariff-related price hikes and drawing on Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data, a widely used gauge of inflation.

Importers bear the cost of tariffs, typically passing at least some of the added expenses to consumers, economic research...more

A-List actor and director Ben Stiller knows a good story when he sees one, so he knew profiling his late parents, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, would be compelling. But even he had no idea how deep it would take him. "No, I didn't!" he laughed. "I mean, I didn't know where it was gonna go."

Stiller & Meara had been the husband-and-wife comedy team of the 1960s and '70s, appearing on "The Ed Sullivan Show" 36 times. But for Ben and sister Amy, Stiller & Meara were also Mom & Dad – and that could get confusing.

When Marcus Rashford moved on loan from Manchester United to Barcelona over the summer, the deal felt more like an exercise in convenience more than anything else. The Red Devils needed to rid themselves of Rashford, both in pursuit of a new rebuild in their never-ending series of them, and because Rashford's career at his boyhood club was essentially dead and buried after receiving the ire of fans and club legends alike. Barcelona was a glamorous but practical landing spot – the cash-strapped club did not...more

The officers were "acting on intelligence," the RBPF said, but they did not specify what information that included.

The officers found three "high-powered weapons" and 11 other firearms, as well as the undeclared cash and a "substantial quantity of ammunition" on the boat, police said.

The grandchildren of the last woman to be executed in Britain have called for Ruth Ellis to be pardoned, 70 years after she was sent to the gallows for murdering her "abusive" lover, their lawyers said Wednesday.

Ellis, a 28-year-old nightclub hostess, was hanged in July 1955 for shooting dead racing driver David Blakely as he came out of the Magdala pub in London three months earlier.

The case gripped Britain and was turned into the 1985 film "Dance with a Stranger" starring Miranda Richardson and Rupert Everett. It also inspired this year's true crime miniseries "A...more

The thieves who made off with priceless treasure from the Louvre may have a hard time cashing in.

The French government valued the pieces — which include an exquisite tiara and a sapphire necklace worn by French royalty — at about $102 million. But Stephen Portier, master jeweler and Parisian gem appraiser, says that's only if they're intact.
