New York City subway train derails in collision with another train, injuring more than 20 people

A New York City subway train derailed on Thursday (Friday AEDT) after colliding with another train at low speed, leaving more than 20 people with minor injuries and causing major service disruptions across Manhattan during the afternoon rush hour, authorities said. At about 3pm (7am AEDT) on the Upper West Side, a 1 train carrying about 300 passengers and an out-of-service Metropolitan Transportation Authority train with four workers on board hit each other near the 96th Street station, police and transit officials said at the scene. A “derailment” happens when at least one wheel of a train leaves the track. The collision knocked out service on the 1, 2 and 3 lines in most of Manhattan, the MTA said. Crews were working on Thursday night to clear the tracks and hoping t...

Huge waves to hit California coast for third day, bringing flooding and life-threatening conditions

Massive waves and coastal flooding are wreaking havoc for a third day in many of California's coastal communities, where extreme conditions have forced water rescues, washed away cars and injured a handful of enthralled onlookers. The unusually large surf – often towering over six meters – has prompted beach closures along the California coast and sent damaging deluges of water into several beachside streets, homes and businesses. In hard-hit Ventura County, waves have surged over seawalls and carried parked cars down the street and into significant intersections, blocking first responders' paths, fire captain Brian McGrath told CNN affiliate TNLA. Flooding in a local hotel also caused damage in all of its ground-floor rooms, he said. High water and dangerous rip ...

North Korea’s Kim says he’ll launch three more spy satellites and build more nuclear weapons in 2024

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his country will launch three additional military spy satellites, build more nuclear weapons and introduce modern unmanned combat equipment in 2024, as he called for “overwhelming” war readiness to cope with US-led confrontational moves, state media reported on Sunday. Kim’s comments, made during a key ruling Workers’ Party meeting to set state goals for next year, suggest he’ll continue a run of weapons tests to increase his leverage in future diplomacy ahead of the US presidential elections in November next year. Observers say Kim could eventually offer to halt North Korea's testing activities and take other limited denuclearisation steps in return for sanctions relief but he has no intentions of fully abandoning his advancing nuclear arse...

The New York Times sues OpenAI and Microsoft for using its stories to train chatbots

The New York Times is striking back against the threat that artificial intelligence poses to the news industry, filing a federal lawsuit Wednesday against OpenAI and Microsoft seeking to end the practice of using its stories to train chatbots. The Times says that the companies are threatening its livelihood by effectively stealing billions of dollars worth of work by its journalists, in some cases spitting out Times' material verbatim to people who seek answers from generative artificial intelligence like OpenAI's ChatGPT. The newspaper's lawsuit was filed in federal court in Manhattan. OpenAI and Microsoft did not respond to requests for comment. The media is one of many industries that could be upended by the rapid development of AI. Media organisations have alr...

Danny Masterson sent to state prison to serve sentence for rape convictions, mug shot released

"That '70s Show" actor Danny Masterson has been sent to a California state prison to serve his sentence for two rape convictions. Authorities said Wednesday (local time) that the 47-year-old Masterson has been admitted to North Kern State Prison, and they released his first prison mug shot. The photo shows him wearing orange prison attire, with long hair and a beard. In June, Masterson was convicted of raping two women in his Los Angeles home in 2003. In September, a judge sentenced him to 30 years to life in prison. His wife, actor Bijou Phillips, filed for divorce in the weeks that followed after a marriage of nearly 12 years. He had been held in Los Angeles County jail in the months since while post-sentencing hearings were held and issues resolved, includ...

An American man visited a state park with his girlfriend. He picked up the largest diamond discovered there in three years

A man who picked up what he thought was a piece of glass at a state park says he later learned his jelly bean-sized find was something much more valuable: It was a 4.87-carat diamond. Jerry Evans visited Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro, Arkansas, for the first time with his girlfriend last spring, he told park officials. Evans says about 10 minutes after they arrived, he spotted what looked like glass a few feet away on top of a plowed ridge, according to a news release.
