  • Israeli military conducts airstrikes on Iran

    Israeli military conducts airstrikes on Iran


    The Israeli military has begun airstrikes against Iran, two U.S. officials said Thursday evening, a dramatic escalation that increased the chances of an all-out war between the countries and expanding the long-running regional conflict.

    There is no U.S. involvement or assistance, the officials said.

    Israel confirmed it had launched a strike on Iran, and declared a state of emergency early Friday local time.

    “Following the State of Israel’s pre-emptive strike against Iran, a missile and drone attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future,” Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement early Friday local time.

    The move appeared to be a significant break with the Trump administration, which has been in talks with Tehran on a possible nuclear deal and argued against such a step.

    Israel became more serious about attacking Iran as negotiations between the United States and Iran appeared closer to a preliminary agreement that included provisions about uranium enrichment that Israel views as unacceptable.

    A big worry for the U.S. is Iran retaliating against American personnel or assets in the region. Officials earlier announced the voluntary departure of nonessential employees, and the Defense Department announced the voluntary departure of military families from across the U.S. Central Command area of operations.

    The Trump administration had ordered all embassies within striking distance of Iran’s missiles, aircraft and other assets (including missions in the Middle East, Northern Africa and Eastern Europe) to send cables with assessments about danger and about measures to mitigate risks to Americans and U.S. infrastructure, two sources told NBC News this week.

    Earlier this week, the board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog, formally found that Iran isn’t complying with its nuclear obligations for the first time in 20 years.

  • Prices for common baby items are rising due to Trump’s tariffs, congressional analysis says

    Prices for common baby items are rising due to Trump’s tariffs, congressional analysis says



    The cost of some baby gear has risen in recent weeks due to President Donald Trump’s tariff policies, according to a new congressional report.

    The cost of five common items bought for babies has increased 24%, or by $98 combined, between April 1 — the day before Trump’s sweeping April 2 tariff announcement — and June 9, according to the analysis by the Joint Economic Committee’s minority arm.

    The analysis tracked the prices of five popular baby gear categories: car seats, bassinets, strollers, high chairs and baby monitors. It leaned on data from baby registry website Babylist.

    “New parents already have their budgets stretched thin by all the products that they have to buy for their child — the last thing they need is a new tax on babies created by President Trump,” said Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., ranking member of the committee, in a media release.

    The findings come as companies grapple with Trump’s ever-changing tariff policies. Some have said they will work to mitigate the impact of the levies and offset the costs to consumers, meanwhile, others, including Best Buy and Costco, have said they already raised some prices. Walmart and Target said they plan to hike prices on some items.

    Baby gear sold in the U.S. is specifically at risk of tariff impact because 97% of strollers and 87% of car seats are manufactured in China, according to Babylist.

    The committee’s report tracked the prices of the most popular Amazon listings for products from five of Babylist’s categories of baby goods. The Amazon bestsellers included items from brands Graco, AirClub, Summer by Ingenuity, Evenflo and HelloBaby. The report measured the price increases over time using the price-checking websites Keepa.com and Camelcamelcamel.com.

    Of the five items studied, the Graco car seat saw the highest price increase. The Graco SnugRide Lite LX Infant Car Seat got 44.8% more expensive over the measured time period. Prices for the other products that were reviewed rose between 10% and 30%.

    A spokesperson for Graco owner Newell Brands told CNBC in a statement that the report appears to have started collecting data on the Graco car seat during a period when retailers were running a promotion.

    The spokesperson said the car seat was on sale on April 1, so the price was hiked by about $20, not by $43, as suggested in the report.

    Executives from Newell said during an April 30 earnings call that the company had raised prices on its baby gear by about 20%. The company said at the time it was equipped to handle Trump’s tariffs, excluding hypothetical further hikes on imports from China.

    A broader Babylist analysis of 11 categories, including products like bouncers and diaper bags, found that costs increased by an average of $400 combined between March 10 and June 3. Those higher prices for new parent households in the U.S. amounts to $875.2 million in total additional costs, according to the analysis and based on data from the American Community Survey.

    The study found particular risk for parents in California, with parents in that state collectively facing a potential $100.3 million in additional baby costs this year. That was followed by Texas at $85.3 million, Florida at $48.5 million and New York at $48.4 million, according to the report.

    “Just in the last two months, the tariffs have made things even more difficult for new parents, forcing them to shoulder higher prices for car seats and other items that they absolutely need to keep their babies safe,” Hassan said in a statement to CNBC. “And the tariffs are already forcing some businesses to choose between laying off workers, raising prices for customers, or closing altogether.”

    The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

  • Diddy’s ex-girlfriend ‘Jane’ testifies about violent brawls

    Diddy’s ex-girlfriend ‘Jane’ testifies about violent brawls



    This is a free article for Diddy on Trial newsletter subscribers. Sign up to get exclusive reporting and analysis throughout Sean Combs’ federal trial.

    Diddy’s ex-girlfriend “Jane,” on the witness stand for a third and final day of cross-examination, faced a series of questions about their relationship — including how it played out after he became the subject of a headline-grabbing criminal investigation in 2024.

    The key moments:

    • Jane told jurors she saw positive changes in Diddy after Cassie Ventura, his former partner, filed her November 2023 civil lawsuit alleging physical and sexual abuse. Responding to questions from defense lawyer Teny Geragos, Jane agreed that Diddy became more apologetic and attentive, less egotistical and cold.
    • Jane was in Miami with Diddy last year when CNN aired hotel security video showing him assaulting Ventura. The witness affirmed the behavior wasn’t consistent with the man she knew and, at that time, he had never beaten her. Jane’s friends told her to leave Diddy, but she decided to stay, she confirmed.
    • Diddy and Jane had a violent altercation about a month after the video was released, she testified. They had another brawl last year that began with her pushing his head into a marble countertop, she said. She told jurors she was driven to anger over suspicions that he’d been on a trip to the Turks and Caicos Islands with another woman.
    • Jane, facing redirect examination by prosecutor Maurene Comey, reiterated how frequently Diddy pushed her for marathon “hotel nights” even after telling him she wasn’t interested: “All the time.” She cried as she described her jealousy of other women who weren’t under the same “pressure” to constantly fulfill Diddy’s sexual desires.

    🔎 The view from inside

    By Adam Reiss, Chloe Melas and Katherine Koretski

    The proceedings got a late start today because Judge Arun Subramanian and the lawyers stepped away for a closed-door meeting to hash out ground rules for Jane’s cross-examination. It’s not entirely clear what they discussed in the judge’s robing room, though the attorneys made cryptic references to some sort of event involving Diddy and Jane.

    In other news: In general, Jane came across as firm and composed on her sixth day of testimony, only fighting back tears near the end of the day. Diddy, clad in what appeared to be the same orange sweater and khaki pants he wore yesterday, hugged members of his defense team when he walked into the courtroom this morning.

    During an afternoon break, Diddy grabbed tissues and dabbed an eye before heading out of the room. “It wasn’t immediately clear if the defendant was briefly overcome by courtroom drama or a more natural irritant,” NBC News’ David K. Li wrote on our live blog.

    🗓 What’s next

    Tomorrow: “Jane” is finished testifying. The prosecution team is expected to call another wave of witnesses.

    PSA: Every night during Diddy’s trial, NBC’s “Dateline” will drop special episodes of the “True Crime Weekly” podcast to get you up to speed. “Dateline” correspondent Andrea Canning chats with NBC News’ Chloe Melas and special guests — right in front of the courthouse. Listen here. 🎧

  • Wyoming troubled teen ranch settles suit for $2.3 million after forced labor accusations

    Wyoming troubled teen ranch settles suit for $2.3 million after forced labor accusations


    A federal judge last week approved a $2.3 million settlement in a class action lawsuit against a small program for troubled teens in Wyoming, ending four years of litigation over allegations of forced labor.

    Trinity Teen Solutions promised to help girls with mental health and behavioral problems, but a group of women who’d been placed there as teens by their parents accused the now-defunct ranch of forcing them to perform manual labor. Tasks included repairing barbed wire fences, castrating animals and laying irrigation pipes, the suit alleges. Injuries were disregarded, it states, and the girls were subjected to humiliating punishments if they did not do the work as ordered.

    Attorneys for Trinity Teen Solutions declined to comment. The settlement stipulates that Trinity Teen Solutions and its owners are not admitting wrongdoing. In previous court filings, the ranch said it did not violate the law and that “chores and physical exercise were part of its program.”

    An NBC News investigation in 2022 revealed that the former clients had tried to report their concerns about Trinity Teen Solutions to state officials and law enforcement, and described them on social media and business review websites like Yelp. State officials allowed Trinity Teen Solutions to keep its license, and its owners were never charged with a crime. A Wyoming Department of Family Services senior administrator told NBC News at the time that the state was hesitant to shut down youth facilities unless children were in danger.

    Trinity Teen Solutions also sued three women who’d criticized the ranch online in 2016 for defamation, in a case that settled without details being made public.

    The new settlement, which was submitted in court last month, will be open to anyone who’d been placed at the ranch from November 2010 until it closed in 2022, and performed “agricultural labor” — more than 250 people in all. Each person’s cut of the settlement will be based on how long they were at the ranch, which was typically one or two years.

    Those who join the class and receive a settlement check will have to adhere to a nondisparagement agreement, meaning they cannot bash Trinity Teen Solutions or its owners online, but the court filings state they are not prevented “from making true statements about their experiences.”

    Amanda Nash, one of the lead plaintiffs, who was sent to Trinity Teen Solutions 10 years ago, said she felt relieved by the settlement. “I was just very happy to be able to give the 15-year-old me a voice, and be able to try my best and represent dozens of other girls — whether they wanted to be involved or not — to try and speak up for them as well,” she said.

    But Anna Gozun, who was sent to the ranch in 2012, said she won’t take part in the settlement because of the nondisparagement agreement and the fact that Trinity Teen Solutions’ owners didn’t have to admit wrongdoing. The settlement “does not reflect true accountability or justice,” she said.

    “It’s disheartening beyond words,” Gozun continued. “Many of us came forward at great personal cost, reliving trauma in hopes of stopping a cycle of abuse. This settlement feels more like a forced ending than a fair resolution.”

  • As egg prices decline, inflation hits another breakfast staple: Bacon

    As egg prices decline, inflation hits another breakfast staple: Bacon



    Move over, eggs. There’s a new expensive breakfast item in town.

    Bacon prices have risen almost 20% since last year, and experts say these prices may not be coming down, thanks to a confluence of market factors.

    Pork bacon prices in May were up 5.7% from April and 18% from May 2024, according to an analysis of grocery price data from NIQ.

    Bacon prices tend to swing more wildly than other grocery staples tracked by NBC News. But Jim Eadie, the founder and publisher of the pork industry publication Swineweb.com, said it’s possible that bacon’s new, higher costs are here to stay.

    “It’s just the cost of doing business,” Eadie said. “With tariffs, wages going up, product supply and demand, the cost to produce a pig … everything combines into that inflation for bacon.”

    NIQ’s data, collected from real checkout prices paid at stores across the country, shows that prices for a pound of bacon range significantly depending on where you live, from $4.03 in Dallas to more than $7.00 in Los Angeles.

    California’s Proposition 12, which went into effect in 2022 and mandates minimum living requirements for farm animals, also increased pork, and thus bacon, prices, Eadie said.

    Egg prices, meanwhile, continued their recent decline in May, falling 6.6% from April. Prices are still up 41% over May 2024.

  • Russian scientist Kseniia Petrov released from ICE custody following accusations of smuggling frog embryos

    Russian scientist Kseniia Petrov released from ICE custody following accusations of smuggling frog embryos



    Kseniia Petrova, a Harvard scientist who was arrested last month on a federal smuggling charge, has been released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody following a detention hearing in Boston Wednesday.

    Petrova, a Russian citizen, was taken into federal custody in May after prosecutors in Massachusetts filed a complaint accusing her of smuggling frog embryos into the United States without properly declaring them.

    She was released on conditions agreed to by both sides. A probable cause hearing is tentatively set for June 18.

    Petrova has been in immigration custody since February, when her visa was revoked at Logan Airport.

    Initially held in a Vermont facility, she was transferred to a Louisiana immigration detention center, where she filed a petition arguing her detention was unlawful and that she fears persecution if returned to Russia because she participated in protests against the war in Ukraine. She was moved to federal criminal custody in May after being charged with smuggling.

    At the time of her arrest, Petrova was working at a Harvard lab, where she developed computer scripts to analyze images from a microscope that scientists say could transform cancer detection. Her colleagues previously told NBC News she was the only person on the team with the rare combination of skills needed to interpret the data. “That was only her. It was only her,” Leon Peshkin, her mentor and a principal research scientist at Harvard, previously said.

    Petrova described being confused and isolated after her arrest, saying she was held in a cell without contact with her lawyer or colleagues. “Nobody knew what was happening to me,” she previously said. “I didn’t have any contact, not to my lawyer, not to Leon, not to anybody.”

    In late May, a federal judge in Vermont ordered her release from immigration custody citing concerns about the legal basis for her visa revocation and extended detention. She faces a separate smuggling charge in Massachusetts.

    Houston Texans safety Jimmie Ward arrested on felony assault charge



    Houston Texans safety Jimmie Ward was arrested on Thursday morning on a third-degree felony assault charge, according to Montgomery County Jail records.

    The details of Ward’s arrest, which occurred just after 5:30 a.m. Thursday morning in Magnolia, Texas, is unknown. Jail records describe the assault charge as family-related.

    “We are aware of the report involving Jimmie Ward,” said Texans senior director of communications Omar Majzoub in a statement. “We are gathering more information and have no further comment at this time.”

    The 33-year-old NFL player was booked into the Montgomery County Jail around 6:30 a.m. and is being held without bond. It is not immediately clear if Ward has an attorney.

    “We are aware of the matter and have been in contact with the club,” the NFL said in a statement, providing no further comment at this time.

    NBC News reached out to Ward’s agent for additional comment.

    NBC Sports reported that Ward is in his third season with the Texans but has not been practicing this spring after foot surgery. He entered the NFL with the San Francisco 49ers in 2014 before signing with the Texans as a free agent in 2023.

  • Harvey Weinstein trial ends in mistrial on final rape charge after jury foreman refuses to deliberate

    Harvey Weinstein trial ends in mistrial on final rape charge after jury foreman refuses to deliberate


    The retrial of Harvey Weinstein ended abruptly Thursday when the jury foreman refused to join the deliberations on the remaining rape charge against the disgraced movie mogul.

    New York state Judge Curtis Farber declared a mistrial and prosecutors vowed to try Weinstein again on the charge the jury had been deadlocked on, namely the third-degree rape charge that accused Weinstein of sexually assaulting former actor Jessica Mann.

    The dramatic ending came a day after the jury announced it had unanimously found Weinstein guilty of sexually assaulting one woman and not guilty of assaulting another more than a decade ago.

    After the partial verdict was announced, Mann released a statement saying, “I would never lie about rape or use something so traumatic to hurt someone.”

    “I didn’t speak up to ruin his life,” Mann said of Weinstein. “He did that. I spoke because mine matters.”
