NATO intercepted Russian strategic bombers and fighter jets that flew over the Baltic Sea on Monday, a muscular display of air power on the alliance's eastern flank away from the spotlight on the Middle East.

French Rafale fighters were deployed from a Lithuanian air base where they are stationed as part of a decades-long NATO air-policing effort. The fighters armed with air-to-air missiles joined jets from Sweden, Finland, Poland, Denmark and Romania. They all took to the skies to inspect and keep watch on the Russian flight, the French detachment said.

The Russian mission included two supersonic Tu-22M3s, as well as about 10 fighters — both SU-30s and SU-35s — that took turns escorting the larger...More

Major shippers, including UPS, FedEx and DHL, have filed claims for tariff refunds with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which on Monday launched a portal through which businesses can request money back for some of the import duties they had paid under the Trump administration.

The companies also pledged to return money to customers who shouldered added tariff costs tied to President Trump's International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, tariffs. In February, the Supreme Court ruled that the IEEPA tariffs had been illegally imposed.

A UPS spokesperson on Tuesday confirmed that it is filing claims for refunds on qualifying tariffs through CBP's so-called CAPE portal. The shipper also told CBS News that once the federal government approves the claims and issues refunds, it will reimburse customers who paid the levies.

PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp revealed Monday during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" that the league is "thinking about" potential pathways for members of LIV Golf to return to the PGA Tour. His comments came after multiple reports last week that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund is planning to withdraw its investment from LIV Golf as it reevaluates its financial commitments over the next five years.

"We're thinking about it. We are reading all the same headlines you're reading," Rolapp said. "We don't know what's going on over there. We know those guys are under contract, we'll respect that. Brooks [Koepka] came back to the tour because he made a phone call and said, 'Look, I'm out of my contract...More

Emily Saliers, one-half of the Atlanta folk duo the Indigo Girls, has revealed that she has been diagnosed with two incurable movement disorders that will forever change the way that she sings.

Saliers and Amy Ray posted a video on Instagram on Friday in which the singer acknowledged that many of her fans have noticed "that my voice is not what it once was."

Saliers revealed that he had been diagnosed with cervical dystonia with torticollis, a rare neurological disorder in which the brain sends signals that cause involuntary muscle contractions in the neck.

"It's impossible for me to hold my head centrally without shaking," she said.

The other disorder, described by Saliers as harder for her,...More

Nearly 490 alleged members of the powerful Central American gang Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), including several alleged leaders, went on trial collectively in El Salvador on Monday, accused of thousands of murders.

El Salvador is conducting mass trials of thousands of suspected gang members, many of whom have spent years in prison without charge or visiting rights, as part of the anti-gang crackdown of iron-fisted President Nayib Bukele.

The Attorney General's Office said 486 suspected MS-13 members were on trial for 47,000 crimes committed between 2012 and 2022, including 29,000 homicides.

The country's court system said the trial included "members of the national leadership, street-level leaders, program coordinators from across the country, and founders of" MS-13.

Salvadoran authorities accuse the group of a range of crimes, including the killing of 87 people in a single weekend in...More

Methamphetamine labs were found in the mountains between Morelos and Guachochi, Mexican officials said. Chihuahua State Investigation Agency

Four people, including two American embassy workers, were killed in a car accident following a major drug raid in northern Mexico, prosecutors said Sunday.

On Friday and Saturday, six clandestine synthetic drug labs were raided in Morelos, in the northern state of Chihuahua, after a three-month investigation, state prosecutor César Jáuregui told reporters.

Jáuregui initially said the accident happened while the officers were returning from the drug raids, but after Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she was unaware of any U.S. participation in the operations, the prosecutor later said the Americans weren't involved in those operations.

"It was not an operation that the security cabinet was aware of,"...More

Rideshare giant Uber is liable for the behavior of a driver who grabbed the inner thigh of a passenger as she was leaving the front seat of his car and asked if he could "keep her" with him, a jury in North Carolina found Monday.

The federal jury in Charlotte awarded the plaintiff $5,000 in damages, said Ellyn Hurd, one of the plaintiff's lawyers.

The so-called bellwether case is part of a broader group of sexual assault lawsuits filed against Uber in multiple jurisdictions around the country and is the third to go to trial. In February, a federal jury in Arizona ordered Uber to pay $8.5 million to a woman who said one of its drivers raped her during a trip using the platform. Last year, a California jury found Uber not liable for the alleged assault of a rider.

Uber, in an emailed statement, took note of the relatively small financial judgment in the North Carolina case and of...More

Drivers around the U.S. have seen some modest relief at the pump lately as gasoline prices retreat toward $4 a gallon. But motorists shouldn't bank on fuel costs returning to where they were just before the Iran war anytime soon, according to experts.

Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, doesn't expect gas prices to drop below $3 this year absent a major economic shock, such as a recession.

"Under the most optimistic scenarios, I would expect gas prices to settle closer to $3.50 by year's end," he told CBS News in an email.

When the U.S. and Israel launched military strikes on Iran on Feb. 28, the national average price of gas was $2.98 a gallon. But the conflict has crippled oil shipments passing through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, pushing gas prices to a recent high of $4.17 a gallon on April 9.

Expect higher fuel prices for...More
