Baldwin, who is also a producer on the film, was charged with two counts of manslaughter in the death of "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Though Baldwin's manslaughter case has been dropped, the actor still faces other legal woes as a result of the accidental shooting. In early February, Hutchins' parents and sister filed a lawsuit against Baldwin, "Rust" producers and other crew members, accusing them of negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress, among other charges. Halls' hearing was the first to be conducted under the supervision of special prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis. In her place, she appointed Morrissey and Lewis as special prosecutors.
AT&T shares fell Thursday after the telecommunications giant reported first-quarter results that saw subscriber growth but a miss on revenue. The company added 424,000 postpaid phone plans, which represents the amount of businesses and individual consumers that pay their bills at the end of each month. In the year earlier period, AT&T added 691,000 postpaid phone subscribers. Investors look to postpaid phone numbers to measure the overall well-being of wireless companies' profit centers. During the company's previous earnings call, AT&T executives said they expect wireless industry growth to return to "normalized" levels this year.

"It's also an indication of how important the U.S. market is for Ikea," Quiñones said. Down the road, some might open in locations that already have an Ikea store nearby, while others might open in cities without any Ikea presence. Ikea is also adding 900 new pickup locations to its slate, allowing customers to retrieve ordered goods from more convenient locations. Like omnichannel retail more broadly, order pickup options have flourished at a variety of retailers throughout the pandemic. The majority of Ikea's pickup locations will be tied to Ikea stores, and some stores will have multiple pickup locations, Quiñones said.
The last-minute $787.5 million settlement of the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit against Fox Corp. was a major step toward making Fox News answer for false claims that Dominion's machines influenced the 2020 election, a key negotiator of the deal said Wednesday. Yaghoobzadeh was one of the people who cut the settlement deal. He declined to disclose when Fox had made its first offer, saying only that the initial sum "was not enough." CNBC previously reported that anchors will not have to acknowledge the settlement or apologize on air, according to people familiar with the matter. The massive settlement sum will go to legal fees and taxes first, Yaghoobzadeh said.
Ben and Jerry's workers at the ice cream company's flagship store in Burlington, Vermont, are filing for a union election Monday. Workers at the Burlington store have petitioned the National Labor Relations Board for an election. That union, Workers United, has won union elections at hundreds of Starbucks locations across the country at a rapid pace. If the Burlington workers approve a unionization vote, their store would be the first Ben & Jerry's location in the U.S. to do so. Ben & Jerry's has even sued its parent company, Unilever , when its actions came into conflict with Ben & Jerry's stated social mission.
Paris CNN —France’s top court on Friday approved the government’s unpopular plans to raise the age of retirement by two years to 64, a huge win for President Emmanuel Macron in the face of mass protests across the country. The Constitutional Council – akin to the US Supreme Court – struck down some elements of the new law, but the most controversial element remains: the gradual upping of the retirement age. Sweeping protests have paralyzed major services across France year this year over Macron’s proposed changes to the pension system. Ahead of the ruling, heightened security was in place in Paris amid expectations of spontaneous protests. With regular, incremental increases, by 2030 the retirement age will have reached 64.
NPR said Wednesday it will stop sharing content on Twitter after the social media company labeled NPR "state-affiliated media," a term also used for Russia- and China-based propaganda outlets. NPR was surprised by Twitter's decision to label the company "state-affiliated media," according to a report by the outlet. NPR CEO John Lansing told his employees that NPR "will not immediately return to the platform" even if Twitter drops the designation. He stripped the news organization's verification checkmark shortly thereafter, citing the company's refusal to pay for the platform's revamped Twitter Blue subscription service. Twitter relaunched its updated Twitter Blue subscription service in December after Musk pulled and delayed the launch in November.
A detailed view of the new Washington Commanders uniforms following the announcement of the Washington Football Team's name change to the Washington Commanders at FedExField on February 02, 2022 in Landover, Maryland. The NFL's Washington Commanders will pay $625,000 to settle allegations brought by the Washington, D.C., attorney general that the organization failed to return fans' ticket deposits, the AG's office announced Monday. Former D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine sued the Commanders in November, alleging the team cheated residents out of their security deposits collected from season ticket holders and used the money for its own purposes. Racine alleged the Commanders sold premium seating tickets to D.C. fans since 1996, which sometimes required a security deposit. The Commanders have been hit with several claims of misconduct from inside the team's front office in recent years.
Michael Jordans 1998 NBA Finals Air Jordan XIIIs sneakers are displayed during a press preview in New York on April 6, 2023 at Sothebys for the upcoming auction Victoriam, a special two-part curated collection of sports artifacts. Michael Jordan's shoes from Game 2 of the 1998 NBA Finals could be yours — if you have a couple million dollars to spare. Sotheby's is hosting a two-part auction of game-worn sports memorabilia, with Jordan's signed sneakers serving as the cornerstone for an stacked lineup of rare items. The game-worn Air Jordans are estimated to sell for somewhere between $2 million to $4 million. When Kanye West's Air Yeezy samples sold for $1.8 million in a private sale in 2021, they were estimated to be the most expensive sneakers sold to date.
[1/3] State worker Yuri Yon (L), talks to a colleague during their third day waiting in line for the arrival of a fuel tank truck in Havana, Cuba, April 5, 2023. "I've been three days waiting in this line for gasoline and we still don´t know if the (fuel) truck will arrive today," said private taxi driver Alexander Pérez, 43. "The situation across the country is critical and the lines endless, and they don´t give any explanation." Venezuela has ramped up oil supply to Cuba since early 2023, according to documents from state company PDVSA and shipping data. But Venezuela's supply in recent months has barely included clean refined products, especially gasoline and diesel, according to the documents and data.
David Halls, the "Rust" assistant director who handled the gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in 2021, pleaded no contest Friday to a misdemeanor charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon. The New Mexico judge overseeing the "Rust" case sentenced Halls to six months of unsupervised probation, a $500 fine and 24 hours of community service. To date, "Rust" proceedings have been routinely disrupted by complications concerning the appointment of the case's previous special prosecutor. The first special prosecutor for the case, Andrea Reeb, stepped down earlier this month, after Baldwin's defense lawyers filed a motion requesting her removal. "My responsibility to the people of the First Judicial District is greater than any one case, which is why I have chosen to appoint a special prosecutor in the 'Rust' case," Carmack-Altwies said in a statement.
Drone footage shows the freight train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, U.S., February 6, 2023 in this screengrab obtained from a handout video released by the NTSB. The Justice Department said Friday it filed a lawsuit against Norfolk Southern , aiming to hold the railway company accountable for alleged Clean Water Act violations that allegedly occurred due to an Ohio train derailment in early February. In February, a Norfolk Southern train carrying hazardous chemicals derailed near the Pennsylvania border in East Palestine, Ohio, causing a fire, collisions and local evacuations. Since the derailment, Norfolk Southern has been in hot water with state and federal officials concerning the environmental implications of the derailment. On Thursday, three senators introduced a new rail safety bill in a bid address long-standing concerns that became more acute in light of the Norfolk Southern derailment.
- A US reporter for The Wall Street Journal newspaper has been detained in Russia for espionage, Russian news agencies reported Thursday, citing the FSB security services. Russian authorities plan to detain an American journalist who works for The Wall Street Journal for two months. The reporter, Evan Gershkovich, was detained on suspicion of espionage, according to Russia's Federal Security Service.

Gershkovich pleaded not guilty to espionage charges, according to Russian state news agency Tass.
The New Mexico district attorney who had overseen the "Rust" movie set manslaughter case recused herself Wednesday and appointed new special prosecutors after weeks of upheaval and controversy in the case. New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies appointed New Mexico attorneys Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis to serve as special prosecutors. "My responsibility to the people of the First Judicial District is greater than any one case, which is why I have chosen to appoint a special prosecutor in the 'Rust' case," Carmack-Altwies said in a statement. Reeb, a former district attorney, was named special prosecutor before being elected to New Mexico's legislature last fall. Gutierrez-Reed's legal team, however, called for the request to appoint a new special prosecutor to be denied.

Millennials have big plans for the year ahead, at least when it comes to their online shopping habits. Over 27% of millennials plan to spend "significantly more" online and less in-store this year, according to a survey from ESW, a global direct-to-consumer leader that helps retailers expand DTC channels. It's a noteworthy update for analysts searching for a winner in the pandemic-era tug of war between brick-and-mortar stores and online shopping. While early pandemic saw an unprecedented online shopping boom, in-person shopping has been ready for a resurgence, as eager shoppers return to newly reopened brick-and-mortar stores. In all, only 15% of millennials said they planned to spend less online in 2023.
OpenAI displayed on screen with Microsoft Bing double photo exposure on mobile, seen in this photo illustration. The feature, called "Bing Image Creator," will be available to Bing and Microsoft Edge users in preview. On Microsoft Edge, the image generator will become available in the browser's search bar. Microsoft says it's taken steps to curb the misuse of Bing Image Creator by working with OpenAI to develop safety measures for the public. Microsoft's tiered approach to Bing Image Creator's rollout is also inspired by the iterative approach the company attempted with past releases.
When Paulo Savaget was just an intern, his chronically busy boss almost never replied to his emails. Today, Savaget is an Oxford University business and engineering professor with a recently published book titled "The Four Workarounds: Strategies from the World's Scrappiest Organizations for Tackling Complex Problems." The book details his "systematic approach" to solving common workplace problems, including four distinct strategies for solving particularly complex dilemmas, Savaget tells CNBC Make It. Savaget realized what was happening: His emails, typically sent in the afternoon, were stuck at the very bottom of his boss' inbox. Like clockwork, his boss started replying, making it easier to finally start building a working relationship, Savaget says.
Paulo Savaget has a tip for anyone trying to get ahead in the workplace: Start thinking like a hacker. The mindset can particularly help you find paths around roadblocks and see solutions other people don't, Savaget tells CNBC Make It. A workaround solution isn't meant to solve the entire problem: It's about getting past whatever's stalling you in the meantime. Or, your team could implement standing meetings, or walk-and-talks. The change of pace and scenery could lead to new ideas that wouldn't have come up in a more rigid setting: Standing meetings can prompt collaboration, and walking can boost creativity, studies show.
The implication: Anyone who wants to be successful needs early-morning workouts and green juice to stay fully productive and alert throughout the day. That held true even when controlling for their GPA the previous term and how many classes they were taking. "It's not just for young adults," Creswell tells CNBC Make It. "These issues around sleep and [its] benefits on your mental health and achievement are likely to generalize to other groups as well." Here, he shares the key ingredients of an effective, success-building morning routine.
You never get a second chance at a first impression — which Barbara Corcoran learned the day she met her "Shark Tank" co-star Mark Cuban. That initial encounter was Corcoran's "most embarrassing moment on 'Shark Tank,'" the Corcoran Group founder said in a recent TikTok video outlining the incident. "I look at the guy next to me, and it's the luggage guy sitting in the seat next to me," she said. Cuban, the billionaire owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, joined "Shark Tank" as guest Shark in 2011, during its second season, and became a main investor a season later. Disclosure: CNBC owns the exclusive off-network cable rights to "Shark Tank."
Jay Shetty, a former monk turned life coach, doesn't like to-do lists. "Most successful and productive people don't even use to-do lists," Shetty said on a recent episode of his "On Purpose" podcast. Timeboxing is when you move your to-do list into a calendar form, giving each task an allotted amount of time. That's far-cry from to-do lists, which are essentially the productivity equivalent of an infinite scroll. "Even if you ticked everything off your to-do list, there's always more to do and it feels overwhelming," Shetty said.
When Rachel Turow gets ready for bed, she flosses differently than most other people: She talks to herself while doing it. The overly excited mental pep talk is intentional, Turow tells CNBC Make It: A "wild amount of encouragement" gives her the "burst of reinforcement" she needs to accomplish a task she otherwise hates. Of course, that's easier said than done — which is why starting with something as small as flossing can help kick you into action. "I'm not going to be super conceited about flossing," Turow says. So far, it's been effective: "It really helps me keep going," she says.
At the time, Santos considered the experience a major failure, but now she credits her public speaking success to those freshman-year jitters. "We need to have much more of a growth mindset about failure." Coined by psychologist Carol Dweck, a growth mindset is when you believe you can always improve and learn more, even when it comes to your greatest strengths. It's her goal for any failure: Learn and grow enough from it that you won't make the same mistake twice. "One of the best ways of doing that — of getting better over time — is to actually experience failure, to experience the consequences of messing up," Santos says.
The British mathematician, professor and bestselling author writes and speaks about how simple bits of math can benefit people's day-to-day lives. "The math you learn in school is so, so different to what the subject actually is," Fry says. "You leave school with the impression that math is this subject that belongs in dusty textbooks, over there in the nerd corner." The Fermi problemThe Fermi problem might sound familiar, because it's become popular in job interviews. Ahead of the Manhattan Project's first nuclear test, Fermi grabbed a piece of paper and tore it into pieces.
