For all their neat approach work, Argentina looked unable to threaten Kaylin Swart in the South African goal and their first attempts on target did not come until the second half. "It is about taking our chances," said South Africa coach Desiree Ellis. Argentina will now face Sweden on Wednesday, while South Africa play Italy at the same time with both teams looking for an historic first Round of 16 berth.

☆ Japan down Costa Rica to put one foot in last 16

Playing through Mina Tanaka in an advanced midfield role rather than playmaker Yui Hasegawa as they had against Zambia, Japan were already well in the ascendant before the double blow that knocked the stuffing out of the Central Americans. Costa Rica, who were beaten 3-0 by Spain in their opener, were barely able to land a blow on their opponents and it looked from then on only a matter of many goals Japan would rack up. Despite having 25 attempts on goal, however, Japan were unable to add to their tally - a shortcoming that might concern coach Futoshi Ikeda with tougher challenges lying ahead. Japan face Spain in Wellington on Monday in a match that will almost certainly decide which of the two sides top the group, while Costa Rica will play Zambia in Hamilton at the same time as both sides continue to seek their first World Cup win.

A lawyer used ChatGPT to write an affidavit in a personal injury lawsuit against an airline. However, the tool is at the heart of a case to discipline a New York lawyer. Steven Schwartz, a personal injury lawyer with Levidow, Levidow & Oberman, faces a sanctions hearing on June 8, after it was revealed that he used ChatGPT to write up an affidavit. The affidavit that used ChatGPT was for a lawsuit involving a man who alleged he was injured by a serving cart aboard an Avianca flight, and featured several made up court decisions. "Six of the submitted cases appear to be bogus judicial decisions with bogus quotes and bogus internal citations," Castel wrote.

Greg Lindberg, pictured in 2018, was sent to federal prison in 2020 before an appeals court in June overturned his conviction and ordered a new trial. A federal grand jury indicted North Carolina insurance entrepreneur Greg Lindberg , alleging that he directed a criminal scheme to defraud policyholders of hundreds of millions of dollars in part to finance his lavish lifestyle. The new charges, handed up in the Western District of North Carolina, are the latest salvo in a roller-coaster legal fight that has lasted for several years. Mr. Lindberg was sent to federal prison in 2020 on charges related to the bribing of a public official before a federal appeals court in June overturned his conviction and ordered a new trial.

A "rogue nurse" in North Carolina has been arrested on murder charges after two patients died after he allegedly administered lethal doses of insulin, state officials announced Tuesday. Hayes allegedly administered a lethal dose of insulin to patient Gwen Crawford on Jan. 5, 2022. The second fatal patient was Vickie Lingerfelt, who was allegedly administered a lethal dose of insulin on Jan. 22, 2022. Hayes was further charged with administrating a near-fatal dose of insulin to a third patient on Dec. 1, 2021, but she survived the dose, according to the district attorney. The district attorney described him as a “rogue nurse,” said there was no evidence Hayes knew the patients before the incidents, and he acted alone.
