LONDON A British judge has ruled that Kimberlee Singler, a mother from Colorado who is accused of drugging and killing two of her children before escaping to the United Kingdom, may be extradited to her home country to face justice. During a brief hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court in downtown London on Friday, Singler watched emotionlessly and silently as District Judge John Zani dismissed her challenge to a U.S. extradition request. Yvette Cooper, the British home secretary, will now review the case, though, since she has the last word in some high-profile extradition cases. To further postpone her return, Singler plans to appeal the ruling to the British Supreme Court and then, potentially, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France. If she is found guilty, she might...

A young child cried out, "Daddy, why did you leave us?" as she gazed down at her father's shrouded body outside the Nasser Hospital in the southern Gazan city of Khan Younis. In the clip captured by an NBC News crew on Thursday, rows of corpse bags were lying on the ground all around her. During Israel's offensive in the enclave, families gathered to grieve for their loved ones whose remains were recovered from the debris of homes and structures that had collapsed. Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians have returned to their homes in the six days since the hostage-release agreement and fire between Israel and Hamas went into force. Many have discovered their neighborhoods have been reduced to ruins. Israel began its lethal invasion in the enclave after Hamas-led strikes on Octobe...

On Friday, President Donald Trump will travel to California to observe the destruction caused by the wildfires that have ravaged the Los Angeles region and are still causing havoc. Trump will travel to a state with Democratic officials that he has frequently accused of being responsible for ongoing fires, claiming that animal restrictions have made it more difficult to obtain water. This will be his first trip as president since taking office again. During his preview of the trip, which will include stops in North Carolina and Nevada at either end, Trump assured reporters, "We're going to take care of Los Angeles." While in California, Trump stated this week that he was unsure if he would meet with Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom. Rather, he criticized a response that he claimed made the ...

Australia's MelbourneNovak Djokov was hurt by jeering spectators as he exited the court in Rod Laver Arena on Friday after giving up one set in his Australian Open quarterfinal match against Alexander Zverevon. Djokovic, who was dealing with what he claimed was a strained muscle, lost the first set 7-6 (5) after he hit a forehand volley into the net. He then started to shake his head and went straight over to shake Zverev's hand. After gathering his belongings and making his way to the locker room, the 37-year-old Djokovic stopped to give the jeers two thumbs up. Djokovic stated at his press conference that the pain in his bandaged left leg was becoming worse. On Tuesday night, he injured it while defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals. "Even if I won the first set, I knew it was g...

Samoa was on the verge of disaster when Robert F. Kennedy Jr. arrived in June 2019. The previous year, two infants were murdered by a poorly manufactured measles vaccine, prompting the government to halt vaccinations. Thousands of their youngest children were left defenseless against a highly dangerous disease that was reemerging all across the world because many parents were not sure that the immunizations were safe, even though they resumed months later. Officials and scientists were concerned about Samoa since less than one-third of its infants had received vaccinations. Kennedy, however, recognized a chance. Kennedy recalled online that Samoan government leaders, including the Prime Minister, were interested in measuring health outcomes after the natural experiment generated by the res...

A well-known businessman accused of participation in the 2017 murder of anti-corruption journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was granted bail by a Maltese court on Friday. Following the judge's ruling, Yorgen Fenech, who has been detained since November 2019, gave his family members hugs in court. Although a trial date has not yet been set, he has been going through pre-trial hearings for a number of years. He refutes the accusations. Three guys who planned and executed the murder are currently serving lengthy prison terms. As Caruana Galizia drove out from home, a bomb placed in her car exploded, instantly killing her. When the decree was delivered, one of Caruana Galizia's sisters was present in court. The court ordered Fenech to turn up his passport and identifying documents and to stay wi...

Three quarterbacks dominated the AFC from 2004 to 2019, at least in the playoffs. Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Ben Roethlisberger combined for 15 Super Bowl appearances for the conference during that 16-year span. (In 2013, Joe Flacco was the only party crasher.) However, that power has transferred since 2020 to one individual: Patrick Mahomes, who is just one victory away on Sunday from making his fifth Super Bowl appearance in six years. Additionally, a murderer's row of quarterbacks who may have already won or at least participated in championships in a different era have been left behind by Mahomes in his never-ending parade to Super Bowl after Super Bowl. Since Mahomes joined the Kansas City Chiefs as a full-time starter in 2018, a number of current greats have been selected at quar...

The 2025 Super Bowl will be decided in just a few hours when the Washington Commanders play the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC championship and the Kansas City Chiefs play the Buffalo Bills in the AFC championship. There are numerous plotlines throughout both matches. In the postseason, will Josh All, the quarterback for the Bills, eventually surpass Patrick Mahomes? Can Eagles rushing back Saquon Barkley be stopped by the Commanders' defensive capabilities? Will Jayden Daniels solidify his position as the sport's next major star, or will his incredible debut season come to an end? Ahead of Sunday's conference final games, NBC News' Rohan Nadkarni and Andrew Greif, along with NBC Sports' Patrick Daugherty, respond to those queries and more. Rank the four quarterbacks. Nadkarni: Jale...

As he balances lofty promises with slim Republican congressional majorities, members of President Donald Trump's own party may make it more difficult for him to avoid a stalemate on raising the country's borrowing cap. This would hinder Trump's legislative objectives in general. An examination of roll call votes and data from the Congressional Research Service shows that 49 House Republicans and 12 GOP senators, or more than 20% of each conference, have never voted in favor of a bill extending the debt ceiling. This group indicates that a significant portion of Republicans may be more reluctant to support hikes that could actually take effect, even though many GOP lawmakers have backed debt ceiling increases as part of messaging votes that were doomed to fail. This implies that increasing ...
