Doha, Qatar CNN —For 12 seasons, Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes penned one of the most fabled stories in the history of Formula One. Hamilton will embark on an intriguing chapter with Ferrari, while Mercedes will begin a new era spearheaded by George Russell. We’ve gone through so many highs and lows together,” Hamilton told CNN Sport in Qatar in a US and UK exclusive interview ahead of this weekend’s Grand Prix there, the penultimate race of his Mercedes career. A superb showing in Las Vegas helped lift the mood on a frustrating year for Hamilton and Mercedes. Hamilton was put through the same training used to prepare the Inspiration4 and Polaris Dawn crews for commercial spaceflight missions.

After breaking out in "The Goonies" in 1985, Brolin's acting career sputtered in the late 80s, through the 90s and into the 2000s. "I spent 22 years just trying to work," Brolin, whose Hollywood prospects were so dismal at points that he turned to stock trading to make a living, said in an appearance on "In Depth with Graham Bensinger." The two roles would turn his fortunes around, both in terms of landing steady acting work, as well as financially. Brolin's career has taken off since then, with star turns in films like "Dune," "True Grit" and "Sicario."

The resurrection of Notre Dame – the treasured Gothic gem in the heart of Paris struck by a devastating fire in 2019 – has been a closely guarded secret. Few had seen the meticulous work of architects, artisans and master craftspeople who have carefully brought the cathedral back to life. Many will remember watching in horror five years ago as bright orange flames engulfed the 860-year-old Gothic cathedral, its famed spire toppling from the Paris skyline. At the time, Macron vowed the beloved building would be restored and set an ambitious deadline of five years. Fast forward 2,055 days, the seemingly impossible has been achieved and the €700 million ($737 million) restoration is complete.

☆ ‘Wildly disruptive’: What happened last time Trump moved a federal agency out of DC
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-29 | by ( Curt Devine | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +13 min

That western relocation was “wildly disruptive” and should serve as a “cautionary tale” for the incoming Trump administration, said Tracy Stone-Manning, the Biden administration’s BLM director. Project 2025, a conservative blueprint written by dozens of former Trump administration officials, recommended returning the BLM headquarters to the West. Most BLM staffers already worked in states outside of DC, but a disproportionate level of senior staffers worked in the nation’s capital. But an inspector general report later found that Trump administration officials had misled Congress in statements about the relocation. Future efforts to move federal offices out of DC could lead more federal workers to unionize.

This is likely to reinforce Trump’s belief that he will have almost unchecked authority and will therefore reverberate through the next four years and generations to come. And by voting the way they did, Americans effectively exonerated him in the federal cases — on charges that could have landed him in jail.
