US removes
bombers
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. Air Force has brought home its bombers stationed at a U.S.-run military air base in England used to strike Iran following an investigation into a planned terror attack at the RAF Fairford base. This is according to a Pentagon official who was not authorized to discuss sensitive military movements and spoke Sunday on condition of anonymity.
The official said the bombers were redeployed back to their home bases in the United States. The move comes as President Donald Trump weighs options for his war on Iran -- including new strikes -- despite his initial promises to Americans that the campaign would last a matter of weeks.
Pike remains
on ventilator
(AP) -- Christa Pike remains unconscious and on a ventilator in a Tennessee hospital after a failed execution attempt. Her lawyer, Stephen Ferrell, said Sunday that her prognosis might not be known for days. Pike, now 50, was sentenced to death for a 1995 murder.
Tennessee officials gave her two doses of a lethal injection drug Wednesday night, but it didn’t kill her. Her lawyers said her arms were burned and blistered from the drugs. Pike’s medical decisions are being made by someone with her power of attorney, whose identity remains undisclosed.
Dodik declares
election win
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) -- Milorad Dodik has declared victory for his party in Bosnia’s election, which was influenced by economic pressures, EU membership prospects, and ethnic tensions.
Dodik, a pro-Russia figure, has dominated the campaign despite being banned from office. His ally, Zeljka Cvijanovic, leads in the race for one of the country’s tripartite presidency seats. Dodik claims his party will hold a majority in Republika Srpska’s assembly.
The election saw low turnout, with only 42% of eligible voters participating. Bosnia’s complex political landscape continues to be shaped by ethnic divisions and Dodik’s defiance of national governance.
Clayton heads
AI task force
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Donald Trump has tapped his director of national intelligence, Jay Clayton, to lead a new government task force on artificial intelligence. Trump is calling it the "Super Intelligence Force" because he’s tried to rebrand AI as "super intelligence."
The announcement Sunday comes after Trump hosted top executives of AI companies at the White House last week.
Trump says the task force will reach out to consumers, public interest groups, religious organization critical infrastructure providers and AI companies.
