Bombing at nightclub in Peru injures 33, including minors, authorities say

March 7, 2026 / 12:16 PM EST / AP

A bombing at a nightclub in Peru has injured 33 people, including minors, authorities said Saturday.

The explosion happened in the pre-dawn hours at the Dali nightclub in the province of Trujillo along Peru’s northern coast, according to a statement from the local Emergency Operations Center.

It’s a region that has recently been plagued by violence and crime.

It wasn’t immediately clear who was responsible and a motive wasn’t immediately known.

At least five of the injured are in serious condition, according to the executive director of the Trujillo Health Network, Gerardo Florián Gómez. Some of the victims suffered amputations and shrapnel wounds and are undergoing surgery, he told reporters. Among the injured are three minors: one 16-year-old and two 17-year-olds, Florián said.

The explosion occurred less than a month after another blast in the same city that damaged 25 homes but caused no injuries or fatalities.

Extortion and illegal mining plague the La Libertad region, whose Andean portion is home to the largest gold-producing area in Peru. In 2025, the region experienced 286 explosions, 136 of which occurred in the city of Trujillo, according to official figures.

The expansion of organized criminal groups has led to an increase in related crimes such as extortion.

Tech company at odds with Pentagon warns its AI possibly gained consciousness, Elon Musk gives 2-word response

Anthropic CEO says Claude AI assistant has ‘begun showing symptoms of anxiety’

SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk gave a two-word retort after Anthropic leader Dario Amodei claimed in an interview that he isn’t sure if his company’s AI models have gained consciousness.

“Anthropic CEO says Claude may or may not have gained consciousness, as the model has begun showing symptoms of anxiety,” read a post on X by cryptocurrency-based prediction market Polymarket, to which Musk replied, “He’s projecting.”

The comment from Musk, who is also the founder of xAI, comes as Anthropic is at odds with the Pentagon over its use in a separate matter.

In an interview with The New York Times, Amodei, when asked about AI and consciousness, said, “We’ve taken a generally precautionary approach here,” and, “We don’t know if the models are conscious.”

“We are not even sure that we know what it would mean for a model to be conscious or whether a model can be conscious. But we’re open to the idea that it could be,” he continued.

“We’re putting a lot of work into [this field called interpretability], which is looking inside the brains of the models to try to understand what they’re thinking. And you find things that are evocative, where there are activations that light up in the models that we see as being associated with the concept of anxiety or something like that. When characters experience anxiety in the text, and then when the model itself is in a situation that a human might associate with anxiety, that same anxiety neuron shows up,” Amodei also told the Times.

The interview comes as the Trump administration is moving federal agencies away from Anthropic after the tech company pushed back against the War Department’s usage of its tools.

The Pentagon has called for Anthropic to allow the Department of War to utilize the company’s artificial intelligence product for “all lawful purposes,” but Amodei has suggested the government could potentially use their product for “mass domestic surveillance” or “fully autonomous weapons,” and that the company would not be willing to allow such use cases.

PENTAGON’S AI BATTLE WILL HELP DECIDE WHO CONTROLS OUR MOST POWERFUL MILITARY TECH

President Donald Trump said last Friday, “The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution. Their selfishness is putting AMERICAN LIVES at risk, our Troops in danger, and our National Security in JEOPARDY.”

“Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology. We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again! There will be a Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic’s products, at various levels,” Trump added on Truth Social.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth later wrote on X, “In conjunction with the President’s directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic’s technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service.”

US autism advisory board will not meet in March as scheduled, health agency says

March 7, 2026 4:04 PM UTC / Reuters

WASHINGTON, March 7 (Reuters) – A U.S. autism advisory board will not hold a scheduled meeting ​in March, the Department of Health ‌and Human Services said on Saturday.

The Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee makes recommendations to the health secretary on federal ​autism research spending and coordinates federal ​autism efforts. The group was scheduled to ⁠meet on March 19.

“The IACC will not ​meet later this month,” said HHS spokesperson Andrew ​Nixon, without sharing additional details of the cancellation or a new meeting date. “Further information will be shared as ​available.”

The panel was remade in January by Health Secretary ​Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime anti-vaccine activist who has ‌suggested ⁠vaccines cause autism.

More than a third of the new committee members have promoted the debunked link between vaccines and autism. Some new members have said they ​aim to ​steer federal ⁠dollars toward investigating causes of autism as well as other issues ​like co-occurring medical disorders.

Last week, a ​dozen ⁠autism advocates, researchers and several former committee members formed the Independent Autism Coordination Committee to create its own ⁠strategic ​plan for autism research as ​a counter to the Kennedy-appointed group.

American Oksana Masters wins 20th Paralympic medal: “My emotions are just pure shock”

March 7, 2026 / 1:04 PM EST / AP

Oksana Masters, the most decorated American Winter Paralympian, surprised even herself by adding a 20th Paralympic medal to her overall tally at Milan Cortina on Saturday.

After overcoming a series of adversities that hindered her preparations in the leadup to the Games, Masters came through with victory in the women’s sprint sitting discipline in Para biathlon, finishing ahead of fellow American Kendall Gretsch.

“Oh my gosh, my emotions are just pure shock. I did not expect this. All I was hoping was just to have a good time in the shooting range,” she said. “I did not expect a podium finish to be honest, let alone a gold.”

It was her sixth Winter Paralympic gold medal to go along with her four victories at the Summer Paralympics. She has competed in every Paralympics since 2012, earning medals in Para cross-country and Para biathlon in the winter and Para cycling and Para rowing in the summer.

Masters was coming off a difficult season that included surgery, a bone infection and a concussion.

“I’m starting to realize that’s who I am. I have to have adversity going into the Games, although I don’t like it,” she said. “The summer started out with surgery and then the last three weeks have been just absolutely a lot of time away from training, with infection and with a concussion, and battling, and just trusting the process and waiting. This is why this just means so much more, I did not expect this.”

She thanked her “incredible team” to help her bounce back and triumph again.

“I’m the athlete that crosses the finish line, but we have an entire team with our coaches that are cheering with us, and our skis and our wax team,” she said.

Masters now has won 15 medals in the Winter Games and five medals in the Summer Games. She became the first American to win seven medals — in seven events — at a single Paralympics in Beijing 2022.

The 36-year-old Masters was born in Ukraine with birth defects believed to be related to the Chernobyl nuclear accident. She had to go through orphanages at an early age in Ukraine before being adopted by an American father. She had her left leg amputated at age 9, and her right leg amputated at age 14.

“For me, I have a very strong ‘why’, where every single stroke for me counts,” she said. “It’s for every Paralympian, every athlete with a disability that was overlooked and was told they were never going to be enough and didn’t belong. That helps me overcome those adversities.”

‘Trump’s doing the right thing’ on Iran, says Senate Armed Services Committee member Sen Rick Scott

PALM BEACH, FLA. – One week into the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran, two Republican senators on the Senate Armed Services Committee say the military operation has “degraded” Tehran’s ability to strike back.

But in exclusive interviews with Fox News Digital, Sens. Rick Scott of Florida and Ted Budd of North Carolina emphasized that the fighting will not lead to U.S. involvement in “forever wars” in the volatile Middle East.

“Our military is doing a great job,” Scott said. And pointing to Iran, he said, “They want to destroy America. We’ve got to stop them.”

Budd highlighted that “we have significantly degraded Iran’s ability to shoot back at us… their capacities are degraded. We’ve had great success.”

Budd and Scott were interviewed as they attended an economic conference in Florida hosted by the Club for Growth, an influential and politically potent conservative group that pushes for fiscal responsibility.

President Donald Trump, who called for Iran’s “unconditional surrender,” said on Saturday that Tehran will be “hit very hard” and warned the U.S. is considering “areas and groups” not previously considered to target.

Over the past week, “Operation Epic Fury”has widened in scope as Iran has retaliated against a growing number of nations in the region. This week, the Republican-controlled House and Senate, in separate votes nearly entirely along party lines, rejected moves by Democrats to restrict the president’s ability to steer the fighting.

WHAT COULD COME NEXT IN THE ATTACKS ON IRAN

The president said on Thursday, in an interview with Axios, that he should be involved in choosing Iran’s next leader. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the initial strikes against Iran a week ago.

And there are concerns among many on the right that the strikes against Iran could lead to prolonged American military involvement in the region, which Trump has repeatedly campaigned against during his three runs for the presidency.

“Trump doesn’t want to be in forever wars. Every time I’ve talked to him, he doesn’t want that,” Scott said. “But I think what we do want to make sure we don’t have another Ayatollah that wants to… chant Death to America and death to our allies and try to destroy us.”

Budd added that “we’re not up for forever wars. We want to get in, get this thing done, get out and have peace for our country and the rest of the region.”

The latest Fox News national poll indicated that American voters are divided on the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, even as a majority sees the country as a security risk.

Sixty-one percent of those questioned viewed Iran as a danger to the U.S., according to the survey conducted Feb. 28-March 2. But that concern did not translate into majority support for the current U.S. military action, as 50% approved and 50% disapproved.

Support for the attacks was lower in national polling from other news organizations.

But the Fox News poll and the other surveys indicated widespread support among Republicans.

“Trump’s doing the right thing. He’s saving American lives by making sure that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon or ballistic missile. So he’s doing the right thing,” Scott emphasized.

Budd added, “I’m very excited [about] what President Trump’s done… The goal is American prosperity and American safety, and that’s what President Trump wants.”

Oil prices have shot up since the start of the fighting, instantly resulting in higher costs for gasoline across America. That’s a major concern for Republicans as they aim to keep control of the House and Senate majorities in this year’s midterm elections.

“Hopefully it’s all going to be short term. Hopefully… the demolition of the Iranian military will happen quickly and actually will get lower oil prices,” Scott said.

Budd acknowledged that “we are going to have some short-term disruptions.”

But the senator was optimistic that “very soon we’ll have gas prices much cheaper than ever before. We were already on that pathway. President Trump is all about stability. He’s all about the price of oil.”

Trump arrives at dignified transfer for 6 soldiers killed in Iran

March 7, 2026 / 1:58 PM EST / CBS News

President Trump is participating in a dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware on Saturday, honoring six servicemembers who were killed in the first days of the Iran war.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Middle East special envoy Steve Witkoff also attended the transfer.

Shortly after landing at Dover, Mr. Trump was greeted by officials including Col. Jamil Musa, the Commander of the 436th Airlift Wing, and Col. Martha “Jeannie” Sasnett, the Commander of Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations.

The fallen servicemembers were identified by the Department of Defense as Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35, Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42, Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20, Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien, 45 and Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert M. Marzan, 54.

All six service members died during an unmanned aircraft system attack in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, on Sunday, March 1, the Defense Department said.

All were members of the 103rd Sustainment Command, which is based in Des Moines, Iowa. The unit provides food, supplies and other logistics support to the military.

Earlier Saturday, while addressing Latin American leaders in Miami, Mr. Trump called the soldiers’ deaths a “very sad situation” and said the servicemembers were “coming home in a different manner than they thought they’d be coming home.”

“But they’re great heroes in our country, and we’re going to keep it that way,” Mr. Trump said.

The dignified transfer, a ritual that returns the remains of U.S. service members killed in action, is considered one of the most somber duties of any commander in chief. During his first term, Mr. Trump called participating in the transfer “the toughest thing I have to do” as president.

After the dignified transfer was completed, Mr. Trump is set to return to Mar-a-Lago.

Trump says ‘hatred’ between Putin, Zelenskyy blocking Ukraine peace deal

By Greg Norman-Diamond, Fox News | Published March 7, 2026 1:33pm EST

President Donald Trump said Saturday that the “hatred” between Russia and Ukraine is getting in the way of reaching a peace deal in that conflict, where the death toll is getting worse.

Trump, speaking at the Shield of the Americas Summit in Doral, Fla., told world leaders assembled there that, “The hatred between Putin and his counterpart is so great.”

“It’s so great that, you know, Ukraine, Russia, you’d think there would be a little bit of camaraderie, but there’s not. And the hatred is so great. It’s very hard for them to get there. It’s very, very hard to get there. So we’ll see what happens,” Trump said. “But we’ve been close a lot of times and one or the other would back out.”

“But we’re losing, you know, they’re losing, you know, doesn’t really affect us very much because we’ve got an ocean separating. I’m doing it as a favor to Europe, and I’m doing it as a favor to life because they’re losing 25,000 souls,” Trump added. “Think of that every month. 25,000. Last month, 31,000. Both sides, 31,000 people died, mostly soldiers.”

UKRAINE’S ZELENSKYY: RUSSIA TRYING ‘TO PLAY’ GAME WITH TRUMP, STALL PEACE TALKS

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Fox News in late February that Russia is trying “to play with the president of the United States” and stalling U.S.-brokered efforts to end the war.

Zelenskyy said Ukraine is ready to freeze the conflict along its current lines, proposing a ceasefire followed by negotiations. But he said he would not accept a Russian demand for Ukraine to surrender territory the Russian army has not been able to capture in four years of fighting.

On Saturday March 7th, the January 6th, 2021 memorial plaque was installed at the West Entrance of the US Capitol.

A plaque honoring the heroism of police officers during the January 6, 2021, attack by a mob supportive of President Donald Trump has quietly been installed at the US Capitol after years of delay.

The installation of the plaque early Saturday morning, which was first reported by The Washington Post, did not feature a formal ceremony or remarks. It came years after it was required by federal law to be installed by 2023.

“On behalf of a grateful Congress, this plaque honors the extraordinary individuals who bravely protected and defended this symbol of democracy on January 6, 2021,” the plaque reads. “Their heroism will never be forgotten.”

It lists the several local police departments and federal agencies that responded that day. Next to it is a QR code that leads to a file with the names of officers who were present.

The plaque has been placed at the end of a hallway, just inside an entrance on the West Front of the Capitol, which is not open to the public.

Since Trump’s return to office, the president and his Republican allies have either ignored the January 6 riot or recast the day’s events and diminished the level of violence that occurred. In one of the first acts of his second term, Trump pardoned over 1,000 rioters who were charged in connection to the attack.

In the absence of a formal plaque, many Democrats had poster copies hanging outside their congressional offices, CNN previously reported.

The office of House Speaker Mike Johnson, whose direction was needed to install the plaque, previously told CNN that the law authorizing the plaque “is not implementable,” but did not elaborate on why.

“If Democrats are serious about commemorating the work of USCP officers, they are free to work with the appropriate committees of jurisdiction to develop a framework for proper vetting and consideration,” a spokesperson for the speaker said at the time.

CNN has asked the offices of Johnson and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for comment on the installation of the plaque.

Last year, two police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 sued the Architect of the Capitol to have a memorial be installed.

In the lawsuit, Harry Dunn, formerly of the US Capitol Police, and DC Metropolitan Police officer Daniel Hodges slammed Trump’s allies in Congress and beyond for attempting to recast the events of January 6 and accused them of “rewriting” history.

Hodges, in a post on X on Saturday, called the installation “a fine stopgap.”

“(T)hey are not yet within full compliance of the law and the weight of a judicial ruling would help secure the memorial against future tampering. Our lawsuit persists,” Hodges wrote in the post.

According to their lawsuit, the law directs that the plaque be placed “on the western front” of the Capitol.

The now-defunct House January 6 select committee’s final report concluded that Trump incited the violence at the Capitol that day.

炮兵险胜曼斯菲尔德 晋级英足总杯八强

发布/2026年3月7日 23:19

英超领头羊“炮兵”阿申纳（Arsenal）在新加坡时间星期六（3月7日）晚举行的英格兰足总杯16强赛中，客场以2比1力擒英甲球队曼斯菲尔德（Mansfield），取得复赛资格，但过程一点也不轻松。

曼斯菲尔德目前在英甲积分榜上排名第16，因此从排名上来说，炮兵比他们的对手高出了59个位置。

本以为曼斯菲尔德会因此惨遭炮兵蹂躏，但事实并非如此，他们的表现非但毫不逊色，还在第15分钟前连续射门，让阿申纳的龙门一度险象环生。

炮兵接近上半场结束前才打破僵局

或许是因为换了九名首发球员和不习惯劣质场地的关系，阿申纳本仗看来控球吃力，传球也不流畅。好在他们挣扎了41分钟后，终于凭借马杜埃凯（Madueke）的一记漂亮远射打破僵局。

然而下半场开赛仅仅五分钟，阿申纳就因为防守上的失误而付出代价。16岁的炮兵后防小将萨尔曼（Salmon）当时后场传球给队友莫斯克拉（Mosquera），但后者却后知后觉，待他做出反应时已被刚替补上阵的主队前锋埃文斯（Evans）抢断，随后把握机会射门扳平比分。

正当主队球迷开始幻想球队或许有望创造奇迹时，同样是替补上场的炮兵前锋埃泽（Eze）在第66分钟劲射破门。这个进球让炮兵松了一口气的同时，也让主队重回现实。

曼斯菲尔德在最后阶段还有进球机会，但无功而返。炮兵顺利将2比1的成绩保持到最后，成功尾随利物浦（Liverpool）的脚步进入复赛。利物浦在前一天的比赛中，客场以3比1力擒英超同袍狼队（Wolves），成为第一支锁定八强席位的球队。

曼斯菲尔德在上一轮爆冷淘汰英超球队伯恩利（Burnley）后，阔别51年再闯入足总杯16强。虽然他们的足总杯征程现已结束，但从他们本仗的表现来看，绝对是虽败犹荣。
