It makes him the second successive chief to go after a 737 Max crisis. AdvertisementOn Monday morning, Dave Calhoun became the second successive Boeing CEO to lose his job in the wake of a 737 Max crisis. Muilenburg was terminated as the planemaker fought for its reputation after 346 people died in two 737 Max 8 crashes in 2018 and 2019. After the longest-ever grounding for a US airliner, the 737 Max was ungrounded 10 months into Calhoun's reign. Win McNamee/Getty ImagesMost people's concerns about the 737 Max looked to have been assuaged, until the Alaska Airlines blowout on January 5.

But officials say he recently tried to change the addresses for major assets from NY to Florida. AdvertisementDonald Trump tried — but failed — to switch the addresses of key assets from Trump Tower in New York to Florida, officials with the state attorney general's office said in their latest civil fraud case filing. Trump attempted to switch the Trump Tower addresses of several key assets to new addreses in Florida, state officials allege. AdvertisementFinally, Trump's lawyers claimed the "proper address" for Trump Tower in Chicago — another defendant in the fraud case — is Trump's Jupiter, Florida golf course, rather than Trump Tower in New York. In his final judgment, dated February 22, the judge uses the Manhattan Trump Tower address for all six of these defendants — not the Florida addresses Trump claimed.

Donald Trump, Jr., and Eric Trump are executive vice presidents at the Trump Organization. AdvertisementSince January of 2017, Donald Trump, Jr., and Eric Trump have run their father's real-estate empire as "co-CEOs," as lawyers for New York's attorney general like to call it. "I was focused on pouring concrete," Eric Trump had said in a pre-trial deposition, during which he pleaded the Fifth some 500 times. Like his little brother, Don Trump, Jr., was guarded when called to the witness stand. In the litigation with the New York attorney general's office, Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. have been primarily represented by Clifford S. Robert.

A letter from Donald Trump's court monitor in his fraud trial suggests he lied about a $48 million loan. The team also provided a memo from the Trump Org's legal department stating that the loan was paid off. AdvertisementDonald Trump is fighting back after a court monitor's footnote indicated that the former president may have committed tax fraud. The Daily Beast first reported on Sunday the note from Jones is a clue Trump used a fake $48 million loan as a vessel to avoid paying income taxes.

Read previewAn Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9 had 177 people on board on January 5 when part of the fuselage was blown off. After the Federal Aviation Administration grounded all 737 Max 9 planes with door plugs, United Airlines and Alaska Airlines discovered loose hardware on several. Why the 737 Max was grounded in 2019Competition between Airbus and Boeing played a role in the twin 737 Max crashes that killed almost 350 people in 2018 and 2019. The Alaska Airlines blowout will likely renew scrutiny of Boeing's deal with the department, which demanded new compliance procedures. A Boeing 737 Max 10 at the Paris Air Show.

EU's von der Leyen to attend Britain's AI summit
  + stars: | 2023-10-27 | by ( Martin Coulter | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, and Vera Jourova, a vice president, will attend the summit, according to an update to their official calendars published on Friday. While Sunak hopes to secure Britain's role as a world leader in AI regulation, some have questioned what the summit will achieve in practice. Last week, Bloomberg reported a number of world leaders - including Germany's Olaf Scholz and Canada's Justin Trudeau - would not be attending. While several world leaders, including U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, are expected to attend the summit, the full guest list has not been made public. Matt Clifford, a tech investor and one of two chief organisers of the event, recently told Reuters the aim of the summit was to kickstart international dialogue on AI regulation.

“Out of concern for his safety, the unit requested that law enforcement be contacted,” said the spokesperson, Col. Richard Goldenberg. Card then spent a few weeks under evaluation at the hospital, the law enforcement officials said.

Card is a petroleum supply specialist in the Army Reserve and first enlisted in 2002, according to records provided by the Army on Thursday. Clifford Steeves of Massachusetts told CNN he knew Card when they served in the Army Reserve together, starting in the early 2000s until about a decade ago.

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsLONDON, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Britain will host the world's first global artificial intelligence (AI) safety summit next month, aiming to carve out a role following Brexit as an arbiter between the United States, China, and the European Union in a key tech sector. The Nov. 1-2 summit will focus heavily on the existential threat some lawmakers, including Britain's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, fear AI poses. Sunak, who wants the UK to become a hub for AI safety, has warned the technology could be used by criminals and terrorists to create weapons of mass destruction. Critics question why Britain has appointed itself the centre of AI safety. "We are now reflecting on potential EU participation," a spokesperson told Reuters.

The ruling is a pre-trial win for the state Attorney General, who wants him banned from doing business in NY. AdvertisementAdvertisementIn a stunning, pre-trial win in New York attorney general's all-out war on the Trump Organization, a Manhattan judge has found that Donald Trump committed fraud for years by inflating his worth to banks and insurers by as much as $3.6 billion a year. Instead, the judge gave a major victory to Attorney General Letitia James, finding in her favor that Trump is liable for fraud. "The New York Attorney General is none of the above."

A judge overseeing lawsuits against Boeing ruled that pre-crash fear and pain can be used in trial. A trial over an Ethiopian Airlines crash will determine what Boeing owes families of the victims. Boeing lawyers previously argued they didn't have to pay for physical damages before the crash. The company previously told Insider it has settled about 75% of the lawsuits brought against it over the Ethiopian Airlines crash and a second 2018 Boeing 737 MAX crash. "We look forward to upcoming trials to present this evidence to a jury and ensure Boeing is held fully accountable."

An IT worker who's been on sick leave for 15 years sued IBM for not giving him a pay raise. But an employment judge dismissed the case, saying it did not amount to disability discrimination. The worker, who has leukemia, currently receives £54,028.08 ($67,732) a year from IBM. But in February 2022, Clifford took IBM to an employment tribunal with disability discrimination claims similar to those in his 2013 grievance. Employment Judge Paul Housego dismissed the case in March, saying in the judgment: "It is not disability discrimination that the plan is not even more generous."

China on Friday pushed back on claims it was operating ‘police stations’ on U.S. soil, calling the sites volunteer-run, after the FBI director said he was “very concerned” about unauthorized stations that have been linked to Beijing’s influence operations. Safeguard Defenders, a Europe-based human rights organization, published a report in September revealing the presence of dozens of Chinese police “service stations” in major cities around the world, including New York. The Embassy did not respond immediately to a Reuters request for a list of the sites. Members of the British parliament have also called for investigations into similar sites. Republicans in the U.S. Congress, including Representative Jim Banks, have requested answers from the Biden administration about the operations of the sites.
WASHINGTON, Nov 18 (Reuters) - China on Friday pushed back on claims it was operating 'police stations' on U.S. soil, calling the sites volunteer-run, after the FBI director said he was "very concerned" about unauthorized stations that have been linked to Beijing's influence operations. Safeguard Defenders, a Europe-based human rights organization, published a report in September revealing the presence of dozens of Chinese police "service stations" in major cities around the world, including New York. China's Embassy in Washington acknowledged the existence of volunteer-run sites in the United States, but said they were not "police stations" or "police service centers." Mark Clifford, president of the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong Foundation, said such stations needed to be "stopped in their tracks." "By allowing the CCP to operate these types of institutions in their countries, international governments are complicit in Beijing's actions," Clifford said.
New York's attorney general has asked a Manhattan judge for a quick ruling in her Trump fraud case. The AG, Letitia James, wants the judge to immediately order Trump to submit to financial monitoring. James' office is hoping for a Halloween order barring the Trump Organization "from engaging in any fraudulent or illegal acts," according to court papers filed earlier Thursday. She has also asked the judge to appoint an independent monitor "to oversee compliance" with whatever ban on fraud or asset-shifting the judge imposes. Engoron repeatedly made same-day rulings after prior oral arguments involving James' probe of alleged financial wrongdoings at the former president's business.
