Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that he was "stunned and saddened" by a photo of an Israeli soldier striking a statue of Jesus Christ with a sledgehammer in southern Lebanon.

"I condemn the act in the strongest terms," Netanyahu wrote in a post on X, adding that military authorities would take "harsh disciplinary action against the offender."

"We express regret for the incident and for any hurt this has caused to believers in Lebanon and around the world," the Israeli leader said in his post.

Two lawmakers are speaking out against a potential merger between United Airlines and American Airlines, saying a deal would weaken industry competition and harm consumers.

"If United and American were to merge, airlines would face less pressure from rivals to keep the cost of flying down, and airlines across the industry could raise ticket prices and fees even higher," Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat from Massachusetts, and Sen. Mike Lee, a Utah Republican, said in an April 19 letter to United CEO Scott Kirby and American CEO Robert Isom.

The letter, which Warren's office shared with CBS News, comes less than a week after Kirby floated the idea of a possible merger between the two carriers.

Combining United and American would also "hurt smaller airlines' ability to compete for critical gate access" and reduce wages for airline workers by reducing the number of employers...More

In an otherwise even game one thing stood out, Manchester City moved the ball into Arsenal's penalty area at an alarming rate, and the Gunners couldn't make them pay

Mikel Arteta was right when he ascribed Arsenal's defeat to Manchester City to events within both penalty areas. Erling Haaland scored his best chance, Kai Havertz spurned his at the death. And yet, perhaps the bigger issue wasn't what the visitors did when they got the ball into the penalty area, but how much more infrequently they actually got there.

By most statistical measures, this was the sort of pretty even contest that would have been decided by which forward line is slightly more incisive than the other. The expected goals favored Arsenal 1.53 to 1.41, the possession was a statistic where City had the lead with 58.5% of the ball. Multiple...More

Eddie Murphy recently welcomed a new family member — a granddaughter from his son, Eric Murphy, and daughter-in-law, Jasmin Lawrence. Which means that he and Jasmin’s father, Martin Lawrence, now share a grandchild.

On Saturday, April 18, Eddie spoke with E! News at the 51st American Film Institute Achievement Award ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

“They just had a baby girl,” the Nutty Professor star, 65, confirmed. “They just had her two weeks ago, or a week ago. Yeah, Ari Skye.”

When asked if he had any advice for Eric and Jasmin after welcoming their first child, he told the outlet. “Oh, you don’t give advice like that. You know, your kids don’t go by your advice. Your kids go by the example you set. They watch you.”

Eddie added, “The...More

A Hungarian suspected drug trafficker on the list of Europe's most wanted fugitives has been arrested in Mexico, the Latin American country's public security chief said Saturday.

Janos Balla, also known as Daniel Takacs, was taken into custody in the beach resort city of Cancun on the Yucatan peninsula, Security Secretary Omar Garcia Harfuch said in a post on X, calling the suspect one of Europe's top 10 most wanted suspects.

Interpol had issued a red notice for Balla, and Europol had issued a formal arrest warrant, his ministry said in a statement.

The Hungarian national, 48, stands accused of running a criminal organization specializing in cocaine and ecstasy trafficking, from at least mid-2014 through April 2015, according to Europol.

Mexican authorities published pictures in which Balla -- wearing a shirt with a palm tree pattern and sporting a...More

A powerful earthquake struck off the northern Japanese coast Monday, prompting the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) to issue a tsunami alert in the region.

The quake registering a preliminary magnitude of 7.5 occurred off the coast of Sanriku in northern Japan at around 4:53 p.m. (2:53 a.m. Eastern on Sunday), at a depth of about 6 miles below the sea surface, the agency said.

The JMA reported the first tsunami waves, about three feet high, hitting a port in Kuji, in the northern Iwate Prefecture.

In a press release, the agency warned that a bigger tsunami could hit after the first waves.

"Tsunamis can strike repeatedly. Do not leave your safe place until the warning is lifted," they wrote.

Officials also advised people to move to higher ground and look out for landslides or other earthquakes later in the week.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a video address released Sunday that Canada's strong economic ties to the United States were once a strength but are now a weakness that must be corrected.

In the nearly 10-minute address, Carney spoke about his government's efforts to strengthen the Canadian economy by attracting new investments and signing trade deals with other countries.

"The world is more dangerous and divided," Carney said in his address. "The U.S. has fundamentally changed its approach to trade, raising its tariffs to levels last seen during the Great Depression.

"Many of our former strengths, based on our close ties to America, have become weaknesses. Weaknesses that we must correct."

Carney said tariffs imposed by President Trump have affected workers in the auto and steel industries. He added that businesses are holding back investments...More

A half-dozen cars had been in the queue for nearly four hours by the time the House of Hope mobile food pantry line began to move. Seventy or so more idled behind them by 11:30 a.m., when the food distribution began.

The plan was to begin handing out boxes of groceries at 11, but the Facing Hunger Foodbank truck delivering the food blew a tire en route. No one complained.

Perry Hall was among those waiting. His wife, Lilly Hall, volunteers with the distribution team. Perry has been dealing with a form of cancer called multiple myeloma. The Halls get by on around $1,500 a month from his Social Security benefits, plus assistance from the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. But because of her age, Lilly, 59, recently became subject to new SNAP work requirements and at risk of losing her benefits.

As part of the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act, all "able-bodied...More
