Police arrested James and Jennifer Crumbley in Sikora’s studio early Saturday morning and said 65-year-old artist could be charged if they determine he played a role in their disappearance. The Crumbleys proved hard to find after their 15-year-old son fatally shot four classmates last week, though their attorney argues they weren’t hiding. Sikora’s attorney, Clarence Dass, said the studio owner didn’t know that the Crumbleys faced criminal charges when he allowed them to stay, according to local station WJBK-TV....

Earlier this month, the Treasury announced around 4 million Economic Impact Payments (EIPs) would be sent as cards, with qualifying adults receiving up to $1,200 and children up to $500 each in funds under the CARES Act. In a statement, released May 27, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) said it wanted to remind taxpayers some payments are being sent by prepaid debit card and highlighted that they arrive in a plain envelope from “Money Network Cardholder Services....

In December 2021, the Lil’wat, Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations began the process of exploring a potential bid to host the 2030 Winter Olympic Games. The First Nations’ efforts have the support of both the Canadian Olympic Committee and the Canadian Paralympic Committee. If successful, it would be the first Olympic bid to be led entirely by Indigenous nations. Before the bid can be made official, a feasibility study and an initial assessment of plans must be thoroughly conducted, along with the official approval of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has yet to comment....

AY.4.2 is an evolution of the Delta AY.4 variant, the latter of which has been widely detected around the world, particularly in the United Kingdom. AY.4.2 is characterized by two mutations in particular, in its spike genome: Y145H, and A222V. Scientists are still trying to figure out what these mutations might mean for the variant’s success. The Delta offshoot has come under the spotlight over the past several days after experts noted a sharp rise in its prevalence in the U....

On Tuesday, voters in Minneapolis voted against an effort to replace the city’s police department, which was initially prompted following the death of George Floyd at the hands of former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin. The effort also would have removed staffing requirements for law enforcement in the city. Following Floyd’s death, a number of other cities across the nation made similar calls to defund police departments. However, in San Francisco, one town has recently discussed the idea of hiring a private security patrol force amid an increase in crimes....

Anti-Semitism is one of the oldest forms of prejudice. It remains to be seen if we can ever stamp out religious- or race-based hate completely, but that does not deter us from trying. From our influential public positions, we have observed worrying trends and witnessed baseless animus permeating every pocket of the planet. On Yom HaShoah, Israel’s Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day, which takes place today, we are calling on many more people to join us in this holy struggle before it is too late—before history repeats itself....

The statement comes at the same time that Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, called on President Joe Biden to become the “leader of the world” in his speech to Congress. Zelensky also called for peace as Ukraine continues to fight back Russia’s invasion of the country. Trump’s spokesperson, Liz Harrington, posted the former president’s latest statement on Twitter on Wednesday. “People forget so quickly, with the help of the Fake News, that it was me that got the 20 out of 28 delinquent NATO countries to start paying the money that they owed in order to rebuild a floundering NATO,” Trump said in his statement....

The 22-year-old did not score against PSG, but Real’s two late goals came from his runs down the left and 1-1 became 3-1 in the final seven minutes — an advantage that makes Madrid favourites to advance in the second leg in Paris on March 6. Asensio and Lucas Vazquez were rewarded for their impressive cameos with starting spots away to Betis and those two give the team balance in a 4-4-2 formation, this time either side of Casemiro and Mateo Kovacic as Luka Modric and the injured Toni Kroos missed out....

As the Taliban surrounded Kabul, then-President Ghani escaped the country and eventually took refuge in the United Arab Emirates.

Hate crimes targeting Asians in the United States increased by 149% between 2019 and 2020, despite a nationwide decrease in total hate crimes during the same period. The recent rise has been linked to vicious rhetoric and xenophobia from political leaders in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. But the roots of Anti-Asian racism in policy date back to the Page Act of 1875, which demonized and fetishized Asian women in an effort block them from entering the United States....

Steven Gerrard named a strong starting side and Villa looked dangerous from the start with Philippe Coutinho quickly catching the eye. The Brazilian would win a penalty but had his attempt and follow-up saved in the 24th minute by Leeds goalkeeper IIIan Meslier. Both sides made plenty of changes at half-time and one of those would prove the match winner as Danny Ings made no mistake from the spot after earning Villa a penalty for handball....

Voters on Tuesday did not approve a referendum that would have authorized up to $217 million in bonds to turn the stadium that once hosted both professional baseball and football games into a giant convention and event center and exhibition space. Houston-area leaders have said the so-called "Eighth Wonder of the World" would likely have to be torn down if the ballot measure failed to pass. The referendum had called for creating 350,000 square feet of exhibition space by removing the interior seats and raising the floor to street level....

Since 1992, when astronomers discovered the first planet outside our solar system, the hunt has been on for one that orbits its star not too closely and not too distantly, one that is not too hot and not too cold—one that is, in short, like Earth. Now astronomers, using the 141-inch telescope at the European Southern Observatory in La Silla, Chile, have hit pay dirt: the most Earth-like planet ever detected beyond the solar system....

“What are you doing up there?” asked his costar Chris Rock, from the dock on the beach below. “I’m promoting a movie!” Seinfeld squawked. Then he leaped off the roof of the eight-story hotel, bobbing and waving about as he glided down a cable over the cheering crowds to the beach. That’s the International Cannes Film Festival, for you—glitter, glitz, stars on the red carpet (and the roof), and topless starlets on the beach....

Last week Chrysler took a big gamble that Eaton can also figure out what American car buyers want. After several days of boardroom intrigue, the 52-year-old GM executive was named vice chairman and chief operating officer of the number three automaker; in Janunary, he will succeed retiring chairman Lee Iacocca. Eaton comes to Chrysler after a year of big losses but at a time when the carmaker has cut costs and is introducing some promising new models....

The migrants crossed the Rio Grande in huge groups and assembled under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas, a city of about 35,000 that’s been strained by the migrant flows in recent months. According to Val Verde County Judge Lewis Owens—the county’s top elected official whose jurisdiction includes Del Rio—a majority of the thousands of migrants gathered at the bridge were from Haiti.
