Three masked men ‘opened fire indiscriminately’ at pub in the Canadian city, authorities say.Police in Toronto say they are searching for three men suspected of taking part in a shooting that wounded at least 12 people at a pub in the Canadian city. The masked gunmen opened fire at the Piper Arms Pub on its opening night on Friday, according to authorities. The attack was the latest incident in a years-long uptick in gun violence in the North American country, which has prompted legislators to freeze the sale of some firearms in recent years. “They walked into the bar. They…

All employees in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services were notified Friday of the option to voluntarily resign in exchange for a $25,000 payment, a source familiar with the situation told CBS News.The department-wide email offered a “voluntary separation incentive payment,” the source said. Employees have been given until a deadline of March 14 to reply.Friday’s offer is part of the Trump administration’s efforts to slash the size of federal workforce and shrink the government’s budget through mass layoffs and financial cuts. That process has been primarily carried out through the White House’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE,…

Reigning world champion Max Verstappen has sensationally conceded he can not win the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, almost a week before a single lap is completed.The four-time world champion made a stellar start to his season in 2024, winning seven of the first 10 races, but believes a far more sobering outcome is more likely this time around.“I don’t think we can fight for the win already in Melbourne,” Verstappen told motorsport.com.Red Bull was well down on the pace of McLaren, who closed last season with blistering form to claim the Constructor’s title and make a fist of the Driver’s…

BEIJING: China’s consumer price index (CPI) in February missed expectations and fell at the sharpest pace in 13 months, while producer price deflation persisted, as seasonal demand faded and households remained cautious about spending amid job and income worries. Beijing last week vowed greater efforts to boost consumption in the face of an escalating trade war with the United States, but analysts expect deflationary pressures in the world’s second-largest economy to drag on. The government set the 2025 economic growth target at around 5 per cent, unchanged from last year, while lowering the annual inflation target to around 2 per…

The United States is cutting almost all its spending on aid. The biggest loser will be Africa.For years, sub-Saharan Africa has received more U.S. aid money than any other region — except for 2022 and 2023, when the United States came to Ukraine’s aid after the Russian invasion.In 2024, $12.7 billion of $41 billion in American foreign assistance went straight to sub-Saharan Africa, and billions more went to global programs — including health and climate initiatives — for which Africa was the main beneficiary.Practically all of that aid is set to disappear in the wake of President Trump’s decision to…

Starting in late January, President Trump suspended two programs that provide American aid to international nuclear inspectors, potentially undermining his own goal of preventing Iran from developing a nuclear arsenal.Though one of the programs has since been restored, the outcome of the actions has been to weaken confidence in an effort that for decades has exposed Iran’s strides toward the production of nuclear weapons. Some experts now worry that the disruptions will scare away talented professionals from the field of nuclear nonproliferation and hinder the global fight against the spread of nuclear arms.Overall, the freezes have thrown uncertainty and confusion…

Just over two months ago, MLB star Juan Soto signed a historic contract. A couple of weeks ago, he joined the New York Mets in Florida for spring training.The 15-year, $765 million deal he signed was the most lucrative contract in professional sports history. In mid-February, Soto still seemed to be processing the life-changing contact. “I’m still thinking about it and everything. It’s unbelievable,” he said at the time. “I’m really happy for that. I’m really happy to know where I’m going to be for the next 15 years.” The New York Mets’ Juan Soto during a spring training workout in Port…
