FAA Investigates Incident That Forced Delta Flight To Abort Landing In Boston

BOSTON (AP) — An aviation expert says a Delta Air Lines jet was roughly 300 feet from an American Airlines plane during a close call at Boston’s airport that forced the Delta aircraft to abort its landing. The Federal Aviation Administration says it's investigating Saturday's incident involving the two commercial flights Saturday at Boston Logan International Airport. Todd Curtis, a former safety engineer at Boeing, on Sunday estimated the distance between the two jetliners using Flightradar24, a website that tracks flights. Curtis called it a significant incident. Near-misses and runway incursions at U.S. airports will be the subject of a hearing Tuesday on Capitol Hill.

Vance: Talks With Iranian Officials Set 'Good Foundation' For Deal To End War

OBBUERGEN, Switzerland (AP) — Vice President JD Vance says his lengthy talks with senior Iranian officials in Switzerland created a good foundation for a final deal to end the Iran war. Vance made the comment Monday after initial talks with Iran’s parliamentary speaker. Vance and U.S. officials claimed progress on multiple fronts, including the establishment of measures to ensure the Strait of Hormuz stays open and that a ceasefire holds in the fighting between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon. Iran noted “major progress” to end the fighting in Lebanon and called that the first real test of the negotiations.

Judge Weighs Sanctions Request In Charlie Kirk Murder Case

A Utah judge is expected to decide Monday whether prosecutors in the murder case involving conservative activist Charlie Kirk should face sanctions for comments made to the media about evidence in the case. Attorneys for defendant Tyler Robinson argue that public statements by prosecutors regarding a bullet fragment recovered from Kirk’s body could unfairly influence potential jurors and jeopardize Robinson’s right to a fair trial. The defense has asked the court to bar prosecutors from seeking the death penalty, contending the comments created prejudice before a jury has been selected. Robinson, 23, has not yet entered a plea. He is charged with aggravated murder in the September shooting death of Kirk, who was fatally shot while addressing a crowd at Utah Valley University. The judge’s ruling could determine whether prosecutors face disciplinary action and whether the defense’s request to remove the death penalty from consideration will move forward.

U.S. And Iran Complete Second Round Of Peace Talks In Switzerland

Senior negotiators from the United States and Iran have concluded a second day of talks in Switzerland aimed at securing a permanent end to the conflict between the two countries. The discussions, held in Obbürgen, got off to a rocky start after comments by President Donald Trump prompted a temporary pause in negotiations, according to Iranian state media. Despite the tension, both sides continued discussions and reached preliminary areas of agreement. Several major issues remain unresolved, including the future of Iran’s nuclear program, sanctions relief, and access to frozen Iranian assets. Negotiators are also working to establish a framework for longer-term security arrangements between the two nations. Under an interim agreement reached during the talks, both countries now have 60 days to negotiate a broader settlement intended to permanently end hostilities. Meanwhile, a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon appeared to be holding ahead of additional diplomatic discussions, a development viewed as important to maintaining regional stability while the U.S.-Iran negotiations continue.

Connecticut Man Dies After Fall At Madison Square Garden Concert

New York City police are investigating the death of a Connecticut man who fell from an elevated position during a concert at Madison Square Garden over the weekend. Authorities say 51-year-old Paul Kueker of Niantic, Connecticut, was found unconscious and unresponsive Saturday night after suffering injuries consistent with a fall. Emergency responders transported him to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The incident occurred while the rock band Goose was performing at the iconic New York venue. Officials have not released additional details about the circumstances surrounding the fall, and the investigation remains ongoing. In the aftermath of the tragedy, the band acknowledged the incident and announced that proceeds from its Sunday performance in Central Park would be directed to a charitable fund that provides support and resources for members of its fan community. No foul play has been reported, and authorities have not yet indicated whether any safety concerns contributed to the incident.

Trump Renews Call For Federal Action After Deadly Chicago Weekend

A violent weekend in Chicago has reignited debate over public safety and the federal government's role in addressing crime in major U.S. cities. Chicago police say at least seven people were killed and 38 others were injured in shootings reported across the city since Friday evening. The incidents prompted renewed criticism from President Donald Trump, who on Sunday again suggested a military intervention to combat violence in the nation's third-largest city. Trump has previously called for federal involvement, including the deployment of National Guard troops, arguing stronger action is needed to restore public safety. Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker has repeatedly rejected those proposals, maintaining that state and local authorities are best positioned to address crime and public safety challenges. Despite the deadly weekend, Chicago police data show that overall violent crime in the city has generally declined in recent years, mirroring trends seen in many other major U.S. cities. However, officials acknowledge shootings have ticked up slightly this year, fueling continued concerns about gun violence and community safety. The latest violence is expected to intensify ongoing political debates over law enforcement strategies, crime prevention efforts and the balance between local and federal authority.

Starmer Announces Resignation As U.K. Prime Minister

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced he will step down as leader of the Labour Party after losing support within his own party, setting the stage for a leadership transition in the United Kingdom. Starmer said he will remain in office as caretaker prime minister until Labour selects a new leader. Former Andy Burnham is widely viewed as the frontrunner to succeed him. The resignation comes less than two years after Starmer led Labour to a landslide election victory in July 2024. However, his government faced mounting criticism over economic challenges, unmet campaign promises and a series of political setbacks that contributed to a sharp decline in public support. Despite domestic struggles, Starmer earned praise from international allies for his leadership on foreign policy, particularly his support for Ukraine during its ongoing conflict with Russia. Labour is expected to begin the process of selecting a new party leader in the coming weeks, with the outcome determining who will become the next prime minister.

Cargo Ship's Chief Engineer Charged In Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse In Baltimore

BALTIMORE (AP) — Prosecutors have charged the chief engineer of the cargo ship Dali in connection with the 2024 collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge. They allege the engineer failed to notify the U.S. Coast Guard about hazardous conditions on the ship. The charge was filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Maryland. The ship lost power twice and crashed into the bridge, killing six construction workers. The Singapore-based ship operator and another employee were indicted in May. A trial for the ship's operator and technical superintendent is set for October 2027. A $2.25 billion settlement was announced in April.

Horse-Drawn Carriage Rides On Hold After Teen Tourist's Death In NYC

Horse carriage rides in Central Park are on hold at least until Tuesday, the union representing drivers said, as safety protocols are reviewed in the wake of a death of a young tourist who jumped from a runaway horse carriage. Alexander Kemp, administrative vice president of Transport Workers Union Local 100, said in a statement Friday that “our hearts go out to the family” of Romanch Mahajan, 18, who died after he got off the four-wheeled carriage as its horse sprinted through the park without the driver. “Words can’t express the enormity of this tragedy,” Kemp said. “We are taking the first steps towards addressing safety issues.” Among the safety protocols to be reviewed are how to maintain control of the carriage horses at all times, he said. Mahajan is believed to be the first person to die in a horse carriage accident since they were introduced in Central Park more than 150 years ago, according to the labor union representing the industry and the Central Park Conservancy, which manages the 843-acre (341-hectare) park. Mahajan had traveled from India with his family to celebrate his recent high school graduation when the family decided to take a ride on one of the park’s often photographed, richly decorated carriages, his father told The New York Times. The carriage driver hopped off to take a photograph of the family near a fountain when the horse suddenly bolted. Romanch’s mother fell out of the carriage, and the teen jumped out in an attempt to save her, according to his father. The Central Park Conservancy was among those arguing Thursday that the carriage industry should be suspended until more protections can be put in place. Mahajan’s death was the eighth horse-related incident in the park over the past 13 months, the group said. The conservancy has argued that horses can no longer safely share park roads teeming with joggers, cyclists, pedestrians and motorized scooters, noting that other U.S. cities, including Chicago and San Antonio, have also recently done away with the nostalgic rides. But carriage industry leaders said the fatal crash underscores the need for better protections, not outright elimination of the quaint attraction that harkens back to a romanticized, bygone New York. Mayor Zohran Mamdani reiterated his support for ending the industry, saying he’d work with the council, the industry and animal welfare advocates to “deliver a just transition that protects workers while ending horse-drawn carriages in Central Park once and for all.” Other recent mayors have made similar pronouncements. Mayor Bill de Blasio vowed to shut down the industry “on Day One” in office, only to come up against years of council opposition. Mayor Eric Adams, Mamdani’s predecessor, came out against the industry near the end of his single term. Kemp said Friday that the union wanted to “do all that we can, collaborating with the City, to improve safety and prevent any accidents from occurring as we move forward.” The union said it supported increased oversight of drivers including regular checks in the parks and enforcement of protocols that require drivers to be in their seats when passengers get on board, throughout the ride and when they exit. Idle horses should also be tethered. Animal welfare activists have long said the carriage horses are overworked, can get easily spooked on city streets and live in inadequate stables while their drivers regularly flout city rules. All of those allegations have been denied by the horse and carriage owners, who say the animals are well cared for and the stables are fine.

Trump Spending Weekend At Camp David

WASHINGTON, June 19 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump will make a rare trip to Camp David this weekend, returning to the presidential retreat for only the second time since retaking office last year. Trump will hold policy and political meetings during his visit, a White House official said. His family will travel with him for the weekend, which includes Father's Day on Sunday. The trip comes as Trump works to secure a final agreement to end the war with Iran and faces scrutiny over a provisional peace deal that critics say grants Tehran too many concessions. U.S.-Iran talks in Switzerland planned for Friday were canceled as fighting flared in Lebanon, creating new uncertainty about the timing of negotiations vital to ensure the ?reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to global shipping and restoring peace in the Middle East. On Friday, Trump continued to defend the deal with Iran, saying Tehran had come to the negotiating table from a position of weakness. "We didn't meet out of desperation, Iran did. They are FINISHED!" Trump posted on Truth Social. "We'll play out the 60 days. They get no money, not ten cents!" Trump last visited Camp David in June 2025, meeting with top military leaders and foreign policy advisers to discuss immigration protests in California, Iran and the war in Gaza. The secluded retreat in Maryland's Catoctin Mountains has not been a regular destination for the Republican president. He has generally preferred spending weekends at his own properties, including Mar-a-Lago in Florida and his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. A Cabinet meeting planned for Camp David in May was moved to the White House because of forecasts for bad weather. Other presidents have used the government-owned retreat about 70 miles from Washington far more frequently, both as a weekend escape and as a setting for diplomacy and policy meetings.

Trump Unveils Brand New Air Force One

On Friday, the U.S. Air Force unveiled a Boeing 7-47-8 that will serve as the new Air Force One, giving the public its first look at the $400 million-dollar plane gifted to the U.S. by the Qatari government.

Will Obama's Presidential Center Hide His Failures?

Obama's Presidential Center Opens In Chicago

DALLAS (AP) — As people gather to celebrate Juneteenth at events across the U.S., former President Barack Obama’s presidential center in Chicago is opening its doors to the general public for the first time.

The center’s grand opening arrives as a symbolic convergence of legacy and liberation in this fifth year since June 19 became a federal holiday. This year's Juneteenth events, held to celebrate the end of slavery, come amid deep political divisions as the nation grapples with renewed questions about the arc of racial progress.
