CNN —Police have identified the shooter in Monday’s attack on a Madison, Wisconsin, private Christian school as a 15-year-old female student, as they investigate the latest school shooting to devastate an American community, claiming the lives of a staff member and another student. Natalie Rupnow – who went by the name “Samantha,” Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said – was found dead when officers responded to Abundant Life Christian School. Evidence suggests the shooter died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Barnes said at a news conference late Monday. It’s unclear whether the shooter’s parents owned or possessed the gun used in the shooting, Barnes told CNN. Two such cases followed school shootings at an Oxford, Michigan, high school in 2021 and a Winder, Georgia, high school in September.

US President-elect Donald Trump’s vow to impose tariffs exceeding 60% on Chinese goods could push Beijing to accelerate plans to rebalance its $19 trillion economy, analysts said. However, retail sales, a gauge of consumption, grew at its weakest pace in three months at 3.0% last month, much slower than a 4.8% rise seen in October. “Worries about the poor retail sales may be overdone, as it results from an early start of the ‘Double 11’ shopping festival which frontloaded sales to October,” said Xu Tianchen, senior economist at the Economist Intelligence Unit. “If we smooth the October-November data, then growth should average around 3.9%, which is higher than the previous months,” he added. On Monday, Moody’s Ratings raised China’s GDP growth forecast to 4.2% from 4% for 2025.

The next move now rests with the Constitutional Court, which has up to 180 days to decide whether to uphold or reject the impeachment vote. Under South Korea’s constitution, at least six justices must approve an impeachment for it to be upheld. If the Constitutional Court upholds Yoon’s impeachment, he would become the shortest-serving president in South Korea’s democratic history. South Korea’s police, parliament, prosecutors and an anti-corruption body have launched separate investigations into Yoon on treason allegations over the martial law incident. Last week, the head of South Korea’s anti-corruption agency said his office would seek to detain Yoon if conditions are met.

The personal trainer Sana Shirvani used to regularly do intense workouts and restrict her diet. She ended up burned out, so shifted her focus to strength training and eating a balanced diet. Personal trainer Sana Shirvani learned the hard way that pushing her body more and more doesn't yield better results.

SEOUL, South Korea — The South Korean government on Monday ordered an overseas travel ban on President Yoon Suk Yeol as he faces investigation on possible rebellion charges over a short-lived martial law declaration that plunged the key U.S. ally into chaos last week. The martial law order banned all political activity and censored the news media. It was a shocking turn of events for South Korea, which spent decades under military-authoritarian rule before transitioning into a vibrant democracy and the world’s 10th-largest economy. Han also said investigations into Yoon’s martial law declaration would be conducted “rigorously, impartially and transparently” by the authorities. “President Yoon Seok Yeol must be immediately arrested, investigated and stripped of his military command authority,” senior Democratic lawmaker Kim Min-seok said Sunday.

We know how to work with a small majority.”With the razor-thin majority, House Republicans may have an unusual amount of leverage in the typically Senate-driven process of crafting a filibuster-proof legislative package. A group of House GOP chairmen first sat down in May to plot this massive package under a potential Trump presidency, according to a person familiar with the discussions. But even some veteran Senate Republicans warned that passing two reconciliation bills will be a tall order.

Since 1974, the buffer zone has been patrolled by United Nations peacekeepers. Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967 and annexed it in 1981. Israeli leaders are watching events across the border in Syria with a mix of trepidation and glee, as 50 years of detente were upended in a matter of hours. Though Israel occasionally offered treatment to casualties of Syria’s civil war, it maintained official neutrality in the conflict. Mordechai Kedar, who specialized in Syria affairs during a 25-year career in Israeli military intelligence, said that the events in Syria were a domino effect from Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel.

My husband and I both have Delta Platinum cards, and our annual fee went up recently. The most important perk to us is the companion pass for flights, which cuts our costs in half. My favorite feature of the card is that it offers a complimentary companion pass each year. Amex recently increased the annual fee for the Delta Platinum to $350/year, but it's still a good value to us. Even if we weren't to use any of the other credits, the annual fee pays for itself with the companion pass purchase.
