Prosecutors filed another murder charge Tuesday against the man accused of being the Gilgo Beach serial killer, bringing the number of alleged victims to seven, all women slain near New York City. A hair linked to the wife or daughter of suspect Rex Heuermann was found near the left wrist of 24-year-old victim Valerie Mack, according to court documents. He’s now been formally accused of murdering Mack, who worked as an escort before her skeletal remains were found in November 2000. The charge connected to Mack comes after Heuermann was accused by Suffolk County prosecutors of murdering Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Amber Costello, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Sandra Costilla and Jessica Taylor. Heuermann, a New York City architect, was arrested in July 2023 and initially indicted in connection with the slayings of Barthelemy, Waterman and Costello.

☆ Germany's auto giants are already reeling. Now Trump wants to turn them into American companies.

Speaking on the campaign trail in late September, Trump announced his desire to turn Germany’s auto giants into American car firms. Rico Luman, senior sector economist for transport and logistics at Dutch bank ING, said Germany’s auto sector appears to be significantly exposed to Trump’s tariff threats. The potential imposition of tariffs on Germany’s carmakers, Luman said, would therefore make a bad situation even worse. “We are evaluating the tariffs Trump has proposed,” a spokesperson for Volkswagen told CNBC via email. Nonetheless, it is thought that Trump’s proposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico would bring an end to the USMCA.

WASHINGTON — As public concern has escalated over drones flying in the skies above New Jersey and other East Coast states, the White House wants Congress to pass legislation that would give greater authority to the federal, state and local governments to address drones that fly in U.S. airspace. “We do need better authorities to deal with that growing ecosystem of drones in U.S. airspace," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Tuesday in an interview on NBC's "TODAY" show. Gaps exist in federal, state and local government authorities to deal with drones, Kirby said. “We know that there’s no national security threat. The bill was proposed last year by Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., with a bipartisan companion bill introduced in the House.

Israel was “closer to a ceasefire deal than we have ever been,” Defense Minister Israel Katz said during a closed-door parliamentary committee hearing Monday. Hamas would also see a large number of Palestinian prisoners released by Israel as part of the deal, the sources said. Hamas has not confirmed to NBC News or others’ reporting that it has agreed to Israeli troops in Gaza. "After the military and governmental power of Hamas in Gaza is defeated, Israel will securely control Gaza with full freedom of action" he posted on X, likening this outcome to Israel’s current control over the occupied West Bank. Katz did not immediately respond to NBC News’ request for details on what “full freedom of action” would mean.

President-elect Donald Trump has threatened new tariffs on multiple countries as his second term approaches, after making tariffs a signature of his campaign. Now, Americans may have to actually brace for stagflation — something the nation’s economy hasn’t experienced in over half a century. Just over a month from now, Trump will have the power to levy tariffs on other nations at the flick of a pen. And once inaugurated on January 20, he has pledged to immediately impose a 25% tariff on Mexican and Canadian imports and increase tariffs on Chinese goods by an additional 10%. On the campaign trail, he also promised to levy a 10% to 20% tax on all imports and increase tariffs on Chinese goods by at least 60%.

Kate Bedingfield, a CNN political commentator and a former White House communications director, said bipartisan action on gun control is essential after a 15-year-old girl opened fire at a school in Madison, Wisconsin, killing two people and injuring six others. “We can’t leave our children to continue to go to school and deal with this day in, day out,” she said on Tuesday morning. “I just think in the United States of America in 2024, that is an unacceptable way to live.”Bedingfield noted that there was a bipartisan gun control bill passed by the Biden administration in 2022, but more action was needed. “Can we have a comprehensive discussion that allows people who are are dug in on the partisan right, and dug in on the partisan left about the issues, you know, can we actually find a way to to come together and try to make some meaningful progress?,” she said.

Eleven Indian nationals were among 12 people found dead at a ski resort in the Caucasus Mountains of Georgia, officials said, in what may be a case of carbon monoxide poisoning. All were employees at a restaurant in Gudauri, a popular ski resort near the Russian border, Georgia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs said in a statement. “At the initial inspection, no signs of body injuries or signs of violence were detected,” the ministry said. The ministry said Georgian police were investigating the deaths as negligent manslaughter, adding that a forensic team was working to determine the exact cause of death. In the United States, portable generators are among the most deadly consumer products, killing an average of 70 people annually.

Travelers with confirmed tickets to exit China within 10 days can enter the country in 60 places across 24 provinces, including the capital, Beijing, and China’s largest city, Shanghai. The expanded scheme also allows transit visitors to travel across regions during the 10 days, with some restrictions. Ju Huanzong / Xinhua News Agency via Getty ImaVisa waivers for transit passengers are popular among travelers, including Americans, who might otherwise be required to go through a tedious visa process for travel to China or elsewhere. Passport holders from 38 countries no longer need a visa at all, enabling them to stay in China for up to 30 days for business, tourism, family visits, exchange and transit purposes. The move was prompted by the Biden administration’s announcement that it had secured the release of three Americans who had been detained in China for years.

This article is part of “Dealing the Dead,” a series investigating the use of unclaimed bodies for medical research. “Particularly after he served his country.”Supplying unclaimed bodies for medical research is widely considered unethical, and most major medical schools — and a few states — have halted the practice. NBC News spent months documenting the use of unclaimed bodies in medical research, submitting public records requests to dozens of state agencies, county coroners and medical schools. That included Pennsylvania, where an official said the body-donation program could not share how the 58 unclaimed bodies were used. He wants to see more regulation of the body donation industry and has written guidelines that call for donation programs to stop using unclaimed bodies.

The U.S. Agriculture Department must take immediate action to secure the benefits cards from which low-income families are being robbed of grocery funds, six Democratic senators urged in a letter. But unlike consumer credit and debit cards, SNAP EBT cards lack security features such as microchips or tap-to-pay technology. “It’s unacceptable that hackers and scam artists are stealing food benefits that low-income families rely on to put food on the table,” Wyden said in a statement to NBC News. California, set to start rolling them out in early 2025, is the furthest along, an Agriculture Department spokesperson said. “We’re calling on the USDA to stop dragging their feet and modernize EBT cards with the same technology we’ve used for years on credit and debit cards.”

The aftermath of an “exceptionally violent” attack in early Bronze Age England suggests that at least 37 people may have been “systematically dismembered” and eaten, new research has revealed. Over 3,000 bones were excavated from a 50-foot pit in Charterhouse Warren, around 20 miles south of the city of Bristol in southwest England. and 2010 B.C., researchers suggest, adding that it's a unique example of extreme violence in Early Bronze Age Britain and that "nothing else on this scale” has been recorded in Britain. However, Schulting said the extreme violence was unlikely to have been an isolated incident in the U.K. at the time. The authors do not believe that the attackers were driven to eat the human remains because of hunger, as the bone fragments were found alongside these animal bones, indicating there was sufficient food.

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection helicopter crashed on Monday near Potrero, an area in the far southeastern reaches of San Diego County close to the U.S.-Mexico border, killing the pilot, according to CBP. The CBP Air and Marine Operations aircraft crashed during a border security mission north of state Route 94 and two miles south of Barrett Lake around 10 a.m., according to a CBP spokesperson. One CBP Air Interdiction Agent, who was the pilot and sole person aboard the aircraft, was killed in the crash, CBP said. Katz said the flight track shows the pilot flying erratically before crashing, but the track log doesn’t suggest anything was wrong with the helicopter itself. The Air and Marine Operations is a separate component of CBP, a spokesperson with the agency clarified to NBC 7.

Investigators work at the site where Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, the head of Russia's radiological, biological and chemical protections forces, was killed by an explosive device in Moscow on Tuesday. An exploding scooter taking out a senior general is certainly not a good look for Russia’s beefed-up internal security apparatus. Assassinations of key military figures on Russian soil, either directly or indirectly linked to Ukraine, have been a feature of this war. And less than a week ago, the deputy chief designer of Russia’s Mars Design Bureau was shot in a Moscow park. CNN’s Ukrainian security source confirmed Kyiv was behind his killing, saying he was responsible for upgrading some of the cruise missiles fired at Ukraine.

The United States and United Kingdom this year placed sanctions on Russia for its use of the chemical weapon chloropicrin against troops in Ukraine, months before Igor Kirillov was killed in Moscow on Tuesday. “Russia has used riot control agents as a method of warfare in Ukraine, also in violation of the CWC. The use of such chemicals is not an isolated incident, and is probably driven by Russian forces’ desire to dislodge Ukrainian forces from fortified positions and achieve tactical gains on the battlefield,” the State Department said. In October, the UK sanctioned Kirillov himself, saying he was “responsible for helping deploy” chemical weapons on the battlefields of Ukraine. “Russian forces have openly admitted to using hazardous chemical weapons on the battlefield, with widespread use of riot control agents and multiple reports of the use of the toxic choking agent chloropicrin – first deployed on the battlefields of WW1,” the UK’s Foreign Office said.

"Defendant’s motion to dismiss the indictment and verdict is denied," Judge Juan Merchan wrote in a ruling Monday. Merchan handed down the decision after he also denied Trump's argument that he's already protected by presidential immunity because of his election win.

Merchan instructed attorneys on both sides to file their letters about the issue publicly and with redactions.
