On a typical day, Ali Mullen races from her job at the county health department in Helena, Mont., to pick up dinner for her three children, heads home to feed them and then goes back out for a violin lesson or a school play, crisscrossing the small city in her aging S.U.V., with a rainbow bumper sticker that reads “You Are Loved.”A big pack of gummy bears keeps her going, stashed in her handbag next to a different sort of lifesaver: a gun lock that she carries almost everywhere she goes.In a sparsely populated state where many people own firearms, the small metal contraptions, which fit around a trigger and cost less than $10 on Amazon, are one way Montanans are trying to reduce the high rate of people who kill themselves.For the past year, Ali, 46, has been giving gun locks away to anyone...

The arc of Philipp Lahm's career has had the rhythm of someone meticulously ticking items off a bucket list. He won eight German championships with Bayern Munich, a team he supported as a child. He served as captain for six years. He led the club to the national and European treble. A year later, he captained Germany to victory in the World Cup.Now, a few years after retiring, Lahm has become a respected figure in German football as a whole: intelligent, thoughtful, discreet by inclination but frank when required. He has held a handful of honorary and ambassadorial roles, but in 2020 he was given a real job, as tournament director of Euro 2024.Yet for all he achieved, Lahm will always be remembered at home as the man who ushered in the Sommermärchen, the fairytale summer, of 2006....

Tesla shareholders strongly supported the proposal to affirm Elon Musk's multibillion-dollar pay package, according to details of the vote published Friday.The vote of confidence in Musk reduces the risk that he will leave Tesla, but it could also validate behavior that some investors say has hurt the automaker, analysts and investors said.Approval of the proposal was announced Thursday at Tesla's annual shareholder meeting, without the underlying total. Ultimately, about 72% of voting shares, excluding shares owned by Musk and his brother Kimbal, supported the pay package.For months, many Tesla investors have worried about how busy Elon Musk would be running the electric car company after a Delaware judge struck down his pay package, originally approved in 2018.The compensation p...

A United Nations commission released a report Wednesday detailing acts of violence in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, accusing both sides of war crimes and arguing that the immense loss of life in the Gaza Strip constitutes a crime against humanity.The report consisted of two parallel investigations, one focused on the October 7 attack on Israel led by the Palestinian armed group Hamas, and the other on Israel's military response. It is one of the most detailed examinations of the conflict to date and provides legal analysis that is likely to be used in future criminal proceedings related to the war in Gaza.Here's a closer look at the commission's findings.What did the report find?According to the report, 800 civilians were among more than 1,200 killed by Hama...

I found Joy's naive quiver intensely endearing, but I, like many others, was a little terrified of her nose. Radio journalist Alix Spiegel met Joy several years ago for an article on NPR. Alzheimer's, which Joy can detect, runs in Spiegel's family. “If she smelled it, would I be able to tell?” Spiegel wondered in her report. “How good was her poker face?” It is Joy's policy not to reveal disease odors to people she meets, and she kindly evaded Spiegel's questions. Whatever the reason, she was more direct with me. One morning, in her living room, she commented, offhand, about my "strong masculine scent."I was horrified. “I didn't mean to bring this up,” I said.“No, no, it's not like that,” Joy assured me. “It's a normal male odor, almost like salt a...

“This is a video for anyone coming to the Paris 2024 Olympics,” one woman says in a clip posted to TikTok. She pauses briefly and then continues: “Don't come. Cancel everything."The video, uploaded in November, now has more than 700,000 views.The creator, Miranda Starcevic, is a 31-year-old French American living in Paris. She usually records herself speaking French, but she thought a message about the Olympics would reach more people if it were in English.And Starcevic wanted her viewers to know it from her point of view, that of French citizens who “belong to the middle class,” as she put it: “Nobody wants the Olympic Games. It's just a big mess.”As an international visual platform with many young users, TikTok is full of content about the Olympics. But beyond feel-good wind...

A facial recognition start-up accused of violating privacy in a class-action lawsuit has agreed to a settlement, with a twist: Instead of cash payments, it would give a 23% stake in the company to Americans whose faces are in its database.Clearview AI, which is based in New York, collected billions of photos from the web and social media sites like Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram to create a facial recognition app used by thousands of police departments, the Department of national and the FBI. The New York Times revealed the company's existence in 2020, and lawsuits have been filed across the country. They were consolidated in federal court in Chicago as a class action.The litigation proved costly for Clearview AI, which would most likely have gone bankrupt before the case reached t...

On Tuesday, an Israeli strike targeted and killed Taleb Abdallah, one of Hezbollah's senior commanders, prompting the group to step up its attacks on Israel in retaliation.

But so far both sides have stopped well short of an actual war.The United States, France and other mediators, warning of the danger of regional war, have sought to push forward a diplomatic deal between Israel and H...

Many firearm owners in the United States do not safely store their weapons, even when the weapon is loaded and there are children in the home, according to a report released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.The report, which was based on 2021 and 2022 data from eight states, found that many gun owners kept their guns unlocked and loaded in their homes despite rising rates of gun suicide and gun deaths. firearms among children.
