▼ + stars: | 2024-10-08 | by ( Chris Isidore | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

New York CNN —Boeing and the union that represents 33,000 striking employees at the company say talks between the two have broken down and no new talks are scheduled. A previous tentative agreement between the union and Boeing ahead of the strike was rejected nearly unanimously by the members now on strike. Union members are angry that they lost the traditional pension plan that they had at Boeing until 10 years ago. Boeing on Tuesday said that it is trying to reach a deal with the union that will bring the strike to an end. But the union said Boeing refused to improve the publicly disclosed offer of two weeks ago.

CNN —Neuroscientist Chris Nowinski has said he wants the NFL to investigate the apparent head injury suffered by Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen during Sunday’s defeat to the Houston Texans. Allen’s head struck the turf in the fourth quarter after being tackled and lay motionless before being rolled over by his teammates. The QB came off the field and was directed to the sideline medical tent, where doctors assess players’ injuries. After emerging from the blue tent, Allen appeared to be offered smelling salts, which make players feel more alert before going onto the field. Allen said in his postgame press conference that he “felt good enough to go back into the game” after the incident.

If Israel decides to go that route, it remains an open question what parts of Iran’s oil sector Israel would try to attack. An attack on Iran’s oil industry could drive up oil prices and jolt the global economy. NuclearBiden said this week that the U.S. opposed any strikes on Iran’s nuclear program. Iran denies it has ever sought to build nuclear weapons and says its nuclear program is designed for civilian purposes.

A coalition of reproductive rights organizations is unleashing a $15 million advertising campaign backing abortion rights as Arizona faces a key ballot measure on the issue this fall. The ad blitz from Arizona for Abortion Access includes broadcast, streaming, radio and mail advertisements that will blanket the state through Election Day — and as early voting kicks off in the state on Oct. 9.

Abortion is legal in Arizona up to 15 weeks and then beyond that, for medical emergencies, any medical emergency,” Dahlgren said.

The NTSB said that Boeing's 737 flight manual instructs pilots facing a jammed rudder to overpower the system by applying "maximum force." Their Max family has been plagued by safety concerns since the two crashes of its 737 Max jetliners in 2018 and 2019 that killed a total of 346 people. Some bombshell allegations were publicized in a sprawling 204-page report released on June 17 by the Senate subcommittee that investigated Boeing's safety and quality practices.

☆ How Warren Buffett decides when to sell a stock, and why he might be dumping Bank of America

When Warren Buffett, the ultimate buy-and-hold investor, sells a stock, it often sends a negative signal about the underlying business and maybe even the entire industry. "We're more reluctant to sell them than most people," Buffett said of his large positions at Berkshire's annual meeting in 2009. Bank of America sales Many top holdings in Berkshire Hathaway's equity portfolio are decades old — Buffett has held Coca-Cola shares since 1988 and American Express since 1991. Buffett said bank failures in 2008 during the Global Financial Crisis , and again in 2023, lessened confidence in the system, made worse by poor messaging by regulators and politicians. At the time, Buffett foresaw more bank failures down the road , but stuck with his Bank of America investment, partly because he personally negotiated the original deal and admired CEO Brian Moynihan.

Engineer Don Kramer is slated to testify as the investigation continues into the implosion of OceanGate's Titan submersible. The Coast Guard opened a public hearing earlier this month that is part of a high level investigation into the cause of the implosion. Coast Guard officials noted at the start of the hearing that the submersible had not been independently reviewed, as is standard practice. Wreckage of the Titan was subsequently found on the ocean floor about 330 yards (300 meters) off the bow of the Titanic, Coast Guard officials said. OceanGate said it has been fully cooperating with the Coast Guard and NTSB investigations since they began.

☆ Pope expels a bishop and 9 other people from a Peru movement over ‘sadistic’ abuses

VATICAN CITY Associated Press —Pope Francis took the unusual decision Wednesday to expel 10 people – a bishop, priests and laypeople – from a troubled Catholic movement in Peru after a Vatican investigation uncovered “sadistic” abuses of power, authority and spirituality. It was announced by the Peruvian Bishops Conference, which posted a statement from the Vatican embassy on its website. The statement was astonishing because it listed abuses uncovered by the Vatican investigation that have rarely if ever been punished canonically — such as hacking someone’s communications — and cited the people the pope held responsible. Victims of Figari’s abuses complained to the Lima archdiocese in 2011, though other claims against him reportedly date to 2000. The investigation, published in 2017, found that Figari sodomized his recruits and forced them to fondle him and one another.

The possibility of Intel handing its 56-year history over to a younger rival emerged last week after several reports said that California-based semiconductor firm Qualcomm had made a takeover approach. That said, not everyone is convinced that Qualcomm needs Intel — or that a buyout would be a good idea for either company.
