An aerial photo shows the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT), or Chagos Islands, in the Indian Ocean, halfway between Africa and Indonesia. The territory comprises a group of more than 60 individual islands, the largest being Diego Garcia, the site of a joint military facility of the U.K. and the U.S. Pictures From History/Universal Images Group/Getty
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his British counterpart were to meet Friday in Washington amid tension between the allies over the future of the remote Chagos Islands, and specifically over the potential use of Britain's Diego Garcia military base on those islands in any new U.S. attack on Iran.
President Trump slammed British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in a social media post this week over a deal reached last year for the U.K. to hand the Chagos Islands over to Mauritius, but to maintain...More

Nissan recalls nearly 643,000 vehicles over engine and transmission risks
![]()
Nissan issued two recalls, affecting a total of 642,698 Rogue compact SUVs, because of separate problems with the vehicles' gears and engines that can cause a loss of power, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The first recall involves 323,917 Rogue vehicles, model years 2023-2025, that are equipped with 3-cylinder 1.5L variable-compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engines. NHTSA said the vehicles' engine bearings could fail, resulting in hot oil potentially leaking and increasing the risk of a fire.
The recall is an expansion of an earlier recall Nissan issued last June for more than 480,000 Rogue, Infiniti and Altima vehicles. Federal regulators said manufacturing defects in certain models of these cars could cause the engine to lose power while in use, heightening risks of a crash.
The second recall includes 318,781 Rogues, model years 2024-2025, that...More

Johannes Dale-Skjevdal of Norway crosses the finish line to win gold in the men's 15-kilometer mass start biathlon race at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Anterselva, Italy, on Feb. 20, 2026. David J. Phillip / AP
Team Norway broke its own gold medal record at a single Winter Olympics when Johannes Dale-Skjevdal hit all 20 of his targets in the 15-kilometer mass start biathlon race and skied his way to gold. It was Norway's 17th gold medal of the Milano Cortina Winter Games.
Norway set the previous record at the 2022 Beijing Olympics with 16 gold medals.
Dale-Skjevdal had taken the lead after the first standing bout with clean shooting and completed the five laps on newly packed snow amid gusty winds in 39 minutes, 17.1 seconds. His teammate, Sturla Holm Laegreid, only missed one target and finished 10.5 seconds back for silver — his fifth medal of these Olympic Games.

Hilary Duff responds to rumors about old flame in "Mature," torn relationship with sister Haylie and more
![]()
Millennial icon Hilary Duff is back with new music for the first time in more than a decade. Her new album, "luck… or something," that she produced with her husband, is available now.
Duff's been lighting up social media — and bringing fans a much-needed dose of early 2000s nostalgia — since kicking off her first headlining tour in 18 years last month.
Before stepping onstage, Duff jokingly told "CBS Mornings" that she looks in the mirror and tells herself, "You're a bad b****. You got this."
Stepping out of Lizzie McGuire's shadow
In 2001, the TV series "Lizzie McGuire" made Duff the Disney Channel's original "it girl." Two years later, when she was just 15 years old, her studio album "Metamorphosis" skyrocketed to number one. But it wasn't easy to step out of Lizzie McGuire's shadow.

American Express regrets having Epstein as a client as files reveal travel bookings for women or girls

American Express says it regrets having the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as a client for years, as hundreds of documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice and reviewed by CBS News appear to show he used the company's travel agency to arrange international flights for multiple women or girls, predominantly from eastern Europe, whose names are redacted.

We take our legal and regulatory responsibilities seriously, including reporting suspicious activity," an Amex spokesperson told CBS News on Thursday.

Team USA's Hunter Hess, targeted by Trump over comments, flashes "L" sign after Olympic halfpipe qualifying
![]()
American freeskier Hunter Hess got to the end of his successful run in Olympic halfpipe qualifying, then leaned into the camera. He bent his left thumb and forefinger into the shape of an "L," lifted it to his forehead and pointed at it with the other hand.
"Apparently," he explained, "I'm a loser."
The 27-year-old received that label from President Trump at the start of the Games after skiers were asked at a news conference how they felt representing the country during the Trump administration's heightened immigration enforcement actions. Hess said that representing the U.S. "brings up mixed emotions" and is "a little hard."
"I just think, if it aligns with my moral values, I feel like I'm representing it. Just because I'm wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the U.S.," he said. "So yeah, I just kind of want to do it...More
