After weather-related disasters, several of their owners have already filed insurance claims, joining an increasing number of business owners nationwide who are learning the extent of their coverage. Paul Rosenbluh, co-owner and operator of Fox's Restaurant, an Altadena diner that was destroyed in the Eaton Fire, stated, "We're just kind of in this limbo until the adjusters can go and see what's not there anymore."

United Arab Emirates' DUBAI Two senior hard-line judges who were allegedly involved in the 1988 mass murder of dissidents were shot dead by a man in Iran's capital on Saturday, according to officials. No group quickly took credit for the killings of Ali Razini and Muhammad Mogheiseh, two clerics who served as judges. However, Razini was probably already a target because of his involvement in the 1988 executions, which included a 1999 assassination attempt. Their murders, an uncommon assault on the judiciary, coincide with Iran's economic unrest, Israel's belittling of its Mideast friends, and Donald Trump's visit to the White House on Monday. According to the state-run IRNA news agency, both clerics were members of Iran's Supreme Court. The incident at Tehran's Palace of Justice, which a...

We've seen enough to declare that the first 12-team College Football Playoff has been an unquestionable success, with just one game remaining in the 2024–25 season. Although there are a few small problems that need to be fixed, the sport has benefited greatly from the general format adjustment. There were more important games played every Saturday in the last month of the season since more teams were in the running for the playoffs than ever before. There was still the customary heated argument about which teams should receive the last spots in the bracket in college football. At the end of the season, there were eleven CFP games rather than three, and four of those were held in electric campus settings. Eleven regular-season games have drawn over 9 million viewers, demonstrating the high ...

Jeanette Bartlett only has fleeting memories of her older sister, Patty Bartlett, who is seventeen years old. She worked as a photographer. In high school, she was studying photography, and Jeanette told Dateline that she was really excellent at it. As a child, I only recall her taking me out and photographing me. Patty discovered her passion for photography, according to Jeanette, when enrolled in a photo science course at Pennsbury High School in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania.

In the Bartlett family, Patty was the second of four siblings. According to Jeff, Dateline's older brother, Patty was a senior in high school in 1975 an...

In a phone interview with NBC News Meet the Press anchor Kristen Welker on Saturday, President-elect Donald Trump stated that he is expected to visit California the next week to observe the effects of the deadly wildfires in greater Los Angeles. Just two days before his second-term inauguration, Trump stated, "I will be, probably, at the end of the week." The president-elect continued, "I was actually planning to go yesterday, but I felt it would be better if I went as president." I suppose it's a bit more fitting. Trump's intended travel coincides with the more than week-long flames that have destroyed homes and businesses and forced many to flee Southern California. Last week, as Trump unleashed a growing barrage of assaults on Newsom, President Joe Biden, and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bas...

In a phone interview with NBC News Meet the Press anchor Kristen Welker on Saturday, President-elect Donald Trump stated that he will probably grant TikTok a 90-day reprieve from a possible ban in the United States once he assumes office on Monday. Trump stated that although he had not yet made a decision, he was thinking about extending the Sunday deadline for TikTok's parent business, which is based in China, by 90 days. The company would have to sell to a non-Chinese buyer or risk being banned from the United States. That would definitely be a possibility that we consider, in my opinion. Given that it is acceptable, the 90-day extension is something that will probably be implemented. It's fitting, you know. We must examine it closely. Trump stated in the phone interview that it's a very...

Cleveland This week's move by Vivek Ramaswamy to run for governor of Ohio did not clear or freeze the Republican field as someone who is so obviously and closely associated with President-elect Donald Trump would often do. According to two people with firsthand knowledge of his intentions who spoke to NBC News, the biotech entrepreneur who has not yet formally started working with billionaire Elon Musk to lead Trump's Department of Government Efficiency is anticipated to start a campaign shortly. An Ohio official familiar with Vivek's thinking texted him, "His basic plan is still [the] same: to get accomplishments at DOGE and then announce a run for governor shortly." When Governor Mike DeWine selected Lt. Gov. Jon Husted, another Republican vying for the governorship, to the Senate seat...

On the first day of his president, Donald Trump has promised to start the biggest mass deportation operation in American history. According to one advisor, enforcement will start as soon as Trump hands over that Bible and takes the oath of office on Monday. However, the size of that operation and its speed would depend in part on the administration's ability to overcome certain obstacles, according to immigration experts. These include opposition from certain local law enforcement agencies and cities, a lack of funding and personnel for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, litigation from civil rights and advocacy organizations, and concerns about the cooperation of nations required to boost the number of removals. An estimated 11 million persons in the US do not currently have legal statu...
