DeSantis' campaign against Trump had soured her on the governor, she said. “He backstabbed President Trump. DeSantis' allies believe the Florida governor has a clear path to another presidential bid should he want one. But he hasn’t yet offered an olive branch to angry Trump supporters.

A report by the market research company shows net trust dropped 12 percentage points among U.S. adults from December 2023 to January 2024. Net trust represents the share of people who say they trust a brand minus those who say they don’t. Zoom In Icon Arrows pointing outwardsBoeing has not yet replied to CNBC’s request for comment. Zoom In Icon Arrows pointing outwardsAmericans typically show greater net trust in its homegrown Boeing brand than in the European-based Airbus, its largest competitor. “Expect Boeing’s net trust metrics to tick down a bit more, especially as the brand’s name remains in the headlines, but not to the extent that we saw in March 2019,” she said.

Alone with his mother for the first time in almost a year, Andrey Shevelyov had a question: Could he come home? The hotel room had a sour, rancid smell, and clothes lay mounded in a corner. Clean-shaven now, Andrey looked younger than his 31 years, like the gentle, artistic boy he had been before the psychosis took hold. Fearful of being evicted from their apartment, she and her husband, Sam, sought a no-contact order to keep Andrey away. Now they were together in Room 117 in a budget hotel overlooking the interstate.

It was July of 2022, and the co-founder of Discover Africa Safaris was out in the bush near the Khwai River in northern Botswana. African lions are fully capable of attacking, killing and even eating humans, and it’s generally estimated about 250 people a year die in lion attacks. WLDavies/E+/Getty ImagesOnly about 23,000 lions remain in sub-Saharan Africa, found mostly in Eastern and Southern Africa, Muruthi said. Before your trip, It's important to study up on safety tips -- such as remaining inside your safari vehicle when lions and other wild animals approach. Secondly, fleeing indicates to the lion you’re frightened and now possible prey, turning what might have initially been a mock charge to test you into a real attack.

☆ Why airlines plug up emergency exits

However, as a former United Airlines pilot now lecturing in Yale University’s School of Management, I believe the wrong questions are being asked about what happened on Alaska Airlines Flight 1282. The question we need to ask is: Why wouldn’t an airline use all of an aircraft’s emergency exits? Others, such as emergency exits, are more opaque to travelers. NTSB/Handout/ReutersWhy you get more emergency exits in IndonesiaIn the US, airlines must comply with federal aviation regulations, which dictate aircraft maintenance procedures and in-flight personnel assignments – and minimum standards for emergency exits. That’s precisely what happened with Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 – and how “door plug” suddenly entered the American vernacular.

Voters in New Hampshire are casting the first primary votes of the 2024 presidential election in more than 300 voting locations across the Granite State. New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scalan said he expects turnout will exceed 400,000 voters, with the lion's share of those ballots being cast in the Republican primary. If those trends hold, the first Republican primary of the cycle could end up being the party's last competitive nominating contest this year. And with around 40% of voters neither a registered Republican nor a Democrat, the state is still far from a done deal for Trump. The party's incumbent, President Joe Biden, is not on the ballot, and the results will not affect delegate allocations later this year.

But today, Germany is staring at a surging far right – and the country’s mainstream politicians and democratic citizens, still by far the lion’s share of the population, are understandably rattled. Since then it has veered steadily to the far right, where its members tout barely veiled racism and Islamophobia. But studies show that time and again the accommodation of radical right positions benefits the hard right – and not its imitators. Moreover, democrats of all stripes should expose the far right’s populist arguments for what they are: exaggerations, falsehoods and demagoguery. Germany’s ascendent far right shows that all of Europe – and beyond, including the US – could be at a tipping point.

A cabin panel broke off a new Boeing 737 MAX 9 jet operated by Alaska Airlines in mid-flight, leading to the grounding of the model and inspections by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). After grounding the three planes operated by Lion Air on Jan. 6 and later inspecting them, Indonesia's transport ministry said it had allowed them to fly again since Jan. 11. Lion Air said in a statement the planes had different configurations from the Alaska Airline plane. The transport ministry said the Lion Air planes had a "mid cabin emergency exit door type II" whereas the Alaska Airlines plane had a "mid exit door plug."

CNN —Winning individual primaries and caucuses is just one step in the long path to winning a party’s presidential nomination. Performing well in primaries and caucuses equals delegates, and the larger goal is amassing the magic number of delegates to secure a nomination before delegate voting at the party convention. In 2016, in his first of three White House runs, Donald Trump hit the magic number on May 26. In 13 primaries and three caucuses, 874 delegates, 36% of the Republican total, will be up for grabs, including in California, the state with the most Republican delegates.
