Jonathan Majors’ accuser recounts night of assault, actor’s ‘violent temper’ that left her fearful

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:52:39 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Jonathan Majors’ former girlfriend testified Tuesday that the actor was prone to fits of explosive rage, an escalating pattern that she said ultimately led to her assault in the backseat of a car and his career-halting arrest this past spring.During hours of tearful testimony, Grace Jabbari traced the downfall of her relationship with Majors, who she described as a “kind and loving” partner increasingly unable to control his “violent temper.” She said he hurled household objects at walls and often threatened to take his own life, at times referring to himself as a “monster.”“It felt like I was walking around on eggshells,” said Jabbari, a 30-year-old professional dancer from the United Kingdom. “I had to be perfect.”The troubled romance came to a head on the evening of March 25th, as the couple were riding back to Manhattan from a dinner already marred by a heated argument over Majors’ recent outbursts, she told the jury. During the drive, Jabbari was leaning o...

Residents in northern Mexico protest over delays in cleaning up a mine spill

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:52:39 GMT

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Residents in Mexico’s northern state of Sonora on Tuesday protested against what they said is the government’s continued failure to clean up an almost decade-old mine spill.At a news conference held outside government offices in Hermosillo, the state capital, members of the local advocacy group the Sonora River Basin Committee described the situation as a health crisis that authorities continue to ignore.“You have asked us for patience and our patience has lasted almost two years,” Martha Patricia Velarde said. “Today we tell you again: Bureaucracy should never be above the health and life of the people.”Nine years ago, millions of gallons of toxic waste flooded from Grupo México’s Buenavista mine into the Sonora and Bacanuchi rivers, just under 60 miles (100 kilometers) from the border city of Nogales, Sonora. Mexico’s environmental secretary María Luisa Albores González has described the spill as “the most serious environmental disaster in the histor...

Live updates | Netanyahu says Israel must retain control of security in Gaza after the war

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:52:39 GMT

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that the military would have to retain open-ended security control over the Gaza Strip long after the war against Hamas ends.The remarks came as Israel’s military said its troops had entered Gaza’s second-largest city in its its pursuit to wipe out the territory’s Hamas rulers. The war has already killed more than 15,000 Palestinians and displaced over three-fourths of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents, who are running out of safe places to go.The Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said the death toll in the territory since Oct. 7 has surpassed 15,890, with more than 41,000 wounded. The ministry does not differentiate between civilian and combatant deaths, but said 70% of the dead were women and children. Israel says it targets Hamas operatives and blames civilian casualties on the militants, accusing them of operating in residential neighborhoods. The United States, Qatar and Egypt, which mediated an earlier c...

Few wet flakes possible but no accumulation for DC area

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:52:39 GMT

There’s been talk about snow for the D.C. region Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, but actions speak louder than words and this talk of snow is just that — talk.“We’re not looking at accumulating,” 7News First Alert Meteorologist Steve Rudin said, and the few wet flakes of snow far north and west of D.C. — what meteorologists call “conversational snow” — may be gone before they hit the ground.But light snow may be seen west of the area, especially in higher elevations. As for the roads, since temperatures will be above freezing overnight into Wednesday, it will just be wet, Rudin said.For other parts of the area, it’s looking like a rain or shower event, Rudin said.Plan for early morning rain showers that could impact the morning rush. A few wet snowflakes may mix in, but no snow accumulation or icy travel is expected. Rainfall totals will be a few hundredths of an inch, Rudin said. Skies will clear by the Wednesday evening hours.Listen ...

A trial deciding if JetBlue can buy Spirit — and further consolidate the industry — nears its end

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:52:39 GMT

BOSTON (AP) — A lawyer for JetBlue Airways said Tuesday that the biggest U.S. airlines are using their size to cement their dominance in a post-pandemic world, making it critical that a federal judge allow JetBlue to buy Spirit Airlines.The lawyer, Ryan Shores, said JetBlue needs Spirit to be a “viable challenger” to the four airlines that control most of the domestic air-travel market.“That mandate is even more urgent today,” Shores said during closing arguments in a federal court trial over the U.S. Justice Department’s lawsuit to block JetBlue’s $3.8 billion purchase of Spirit, the nation’s biggest low-fare carrier.A Justice Department lawyer argued that the deal would push fares higher by 30% and leave fewer options for travelers on a budget. Edward Duffy said if JetBlue absorbs Spirit, it would cut the ultra-low-cost-carrier share of the market by half — or 6 million fewer budget flights per year.Duffy said JetBlue was contradicting itself by arguing that because of...
