Family missing for 7 days found alive by U.S. Coast Guard in Pacific Ocean

A family of three were found alive and rescued Monday, after disappearing seven days earlier on a boat in the western Pacific Ocean, the United States Coast Guard said on Tuesday.

The family included two men and one woman, all of whom have been rescued, according to the Coast Guard. None suffered injuries during their week lost at sea.

Crew members aboard the Coast Guard cutter Midgett located the missing family off the coast of Chuuk State in the Federated States of Micronesia, an island nation northeast of Papua New Guinea. The trio had set sail from Fananu Island, within the archipelago, on March 30, the Coast Guard said. They planned to travel only a short distance to nearby Murillo Island on a 23-foot skiff, but never arrived at their destination after the boat’s engine failed.

The Midgett crew found the missing family after receiving a report Sunday from authorities in Micronesia and the U.S. Embassy, which informed the Coast Guard that their boat was overdue. Search and rescue efforts spanned 14,000 square nautical miles of rough seas, where waves at times reached as high as 10 feet, the Coast Guard said.

All three survivors were taken safely by the Coast Guard to Chuuk State, where transport was available back to Fananu Island.

The Coast Guard released images showing the family’s skiff being located in the darkness as well as photos of the rescued family being transported by Dolphin helicopter and reunited with loved ones.

At its peak, the massive search effort involved watchstanders from the U.S. Coast Guard Joint Rescue Sub-Center in Guam and the U.S. Coast Guard District Oceania, which launched a Hercules airplane and crew to Hawaii to support the probe. The Midgett crew was diverted from a patrol mission in the region, the Coast Guard said.

“Our U.S. Coast Guard colleagues’ swift and courageous actions in this successful search and rescue mission not only reflect the highest standards of professionalism and humanity but also reinforce the deep and enduring partnership between the United States and the Federated States of Micronesia,” said Jennifer Johnson, U.S. Ambassador to the Federated States of Micronesia, in a statement. “This mission exemplifies the spirit of cooperation and mutual support at the heart of the Compact of Free Association, underscoring how our close relations translate into real, life-saving outcomes for our people.”

Delta hikes bag check fee by up to $50 as jet fuel prices soar

Delta Air Lines is hiking its bag-check fees, the latest U.S. carrier to increase the charge to fly hands-free as jet fuel costs rise due to the Iran war.

Delta cited “evolving global conditions and industry dynamics” in announcing the change, which takes effect Wednesday. Fees for travelers’ first and second checked bags will rise by $10, while it will cost $50 to check a third piece of luggage on domestic and short-haul international flights, the airline said.

The new fee structure is part of “Delta’s ongoing review of pricing across its business,” the carrier said in a statement to CBS News. The increase represents the first time in two years that Delta has hiked fees for checking bags domestically, the airline noted.

Here are the new rates:

• First bag: $45
• Second bag: $55
• Third bag: $200

Delta SkyMiles Medallion club members, first-class passengers and other eligible customers will still be able to check bags for free, the airline said. Checked-bag rates on long-haul international flights also remain unchanged.

Delta follows United and JetBlue in raising bag check fees since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28. The price of jet fuel was $209 a barrel for the week ending April 3, up 132% from last year’s average, according to the International Air Transport Association.

Airlines have tried to offset higher fuel costs by raising airfares and, in some cases, adding fuel surcharges to ticket costs. Flight experts encourage travelers to purchase refundable fares for upcoming travel now, in case prices rise further.

Supreme Court clears path for DOJ to erase Steve Bannon’s Jan 6 conviction

April 7, 2026 10:17am EDT / Fox News

Bannon, a former Trump advisor, served 4 months in prison for the contempt convictions

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

The Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for the Justice Department to dismiss the criminal conviction against President Donald Trump’s former advisor, Steve Bannon — a symbolic, but significant move in one of the highest-profile prosecutions tied to the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot and resulting congressional probe.

In a brief, unsigned order, justices tossed an appeals court ruling that upheld Bannon’s criminal contempt conviction, sending the case back down to a district court judge for dismissal.

The order clears a key legal obstacle for the Trump administration to dismiss Bannon’s criminal conviction completely.

The reversal is largely symbolic. Bannon, a longtime Trump ally and former White House advisor, was convicted in 2022 on two criminal charges of contempt of Congress stemming from his refusal to testify before a House select committee investigating the Capitol riot.

He had already served a four-month prison sentence for the convictions in 2024, after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld the guilty verdict handed down by the jury and declined to rehear the case.

Bannon had also been ordered to pay more than $6,000 in fines in connection with the conviction.

The Supreme Court, for its part, declined at the time to grant his emergency application to further postpone jail time.

In vacating the appeals court order, justices on the high court removed a key legal obstacle preventing the Trump administration from dismissing Bannon’s conviction.

Bannon’s lawyers had argued at the time that he had been acting on the advice of his counsel in refusing to comply with Congress.

They also attempted to argue claims of executive privilege, though the latter sparked skepticism from House lawmakers, who noted that Bannon had departed the White House in 2017, several years before the riot took place.

It is unclear how long it might take to formally dismiss the case at the district court level.

The Justice Department in February asked the Supreme Court to allow them to dismiss Bannon’s conviction and remand his case back to the district court to do so. They told the high court they had concluded the prosecution was no longer in “the interests of justice.”

The unanimous Supreme Court order did not have any dissents.

Still, the request and resulting order represents a stark about-face from the Biden-led Justice Department, which had argued to the Supreme Court in 2024 that Bannon had acted “with total noncompliance” in avoiding the House investigators. They had urged the high court to deny Bannon’s bid to delay prison time.

The order also comes as Trump, in his second term, has moved to unwind many of the investigations brought by the Justice Department under then-President Joe Biden — including the convictions brought in connection with the Capitol riot.

Shortly after taking office last year, Trump issued a blanket pardon to more than 1,500 persons convicted or charged in connection with the Jan. 6 events.

His administration has also terminated a growing list of FBI agents assigned to the Jan. 6 investigation, prompting a wave of wrongful termination lawsuits, including one filed as recently as last month.

韩情报机构：金珠爱接班人地位趋明朗 国防亮相强化“继承叙事”

2026年4月7日 21:07 / 联合早报

韩国国家情报院向国会报告称，朝鲜领导人金正恩之女金珠爱近期亲自驾驶新型主力坦克等举动，被解读为旨在强化接班人形象、缓解外界对“女性接班人”的疑虑。

韩国国家情报院（国情院）6日在国会情报委员会闭门会议上表示，金珠爱近期在国防领域频繁亮相，包括首次公开射击及模仿金正恩操作坦克等，意在突出其军事能力与“非凡性”。

朝中社上月19日曾公开金珠爱在平壤第60训练基地协同攻击战术演习中随同金正恩并亲自驾驶坦克的画面。国情院认为，这些安排体现出以“未来领导人”视觉形象塑造的意图，通过强化军事表现，加快接班人叙事构建。

执政党议员朴善源称，相关评价已由“接班人准备阶段”上升至“确保接班人地位”，并首次使用“女性接班人”表述。

据了解，国情院对金珠爱的判断也由谨慎转向明确：从早期仅确认身份、认为“尚难判断接班”，到2024年提出她是“最有力接班人”，再到今年2月判断她进入“内定接班人阶段”，直至本月最新评估称“可以看作是接班人”，且基于“可信情报”，显示判断已由可能性转向实质性认定。

国情院院长李钟奭指出，金珠爱“可视为已进入候选阶段的接班人”，强调相关评估建立在可靠情报基础之上。

在权力结构方面，国情院指出，随着元老一代退场，朝鲜正大规模起用党组织指导部出身的亲信力量，并强化专业官僚配置，以提升金正恩对政策的掌控力。同时，通过更名“平壤议事堂”、弱化“金日成—金正日主义”等表述，呈现出淡化先辈色彩、强化现任领导人权威的趋势。

对于金正恩胞妹金与正，国情院评估她虽再次进入劳动党中央政治局并升任总务部长，但仍主要作为心腹，负责检查指示执行及对外发声，实际权力未见明显扩大。

在对韩政策方面，国情院确认，朝鲜在2024年修订的劳动党章程中删除“统一战线”等表述，“两国论”已在多项制度中得到反映。军事层面，朝方近期测试的新型洲际弹道导弹固体燃料发动机，通过提升推力并采用碳纤维减重，未来可能具备多弹头能力，相关动向正被持续跟踪。

此外，针对外界关注的金正恩健康问题，国情院表示他胸部白色贴片并非医疗用途，而是服装结构的一部分。在对外政策上，国情院认为，朝鲜在中东局势中刻意与伊朗保持距离，同时对美表态趋于克制，通过精细化信息管理为未来外交空间预留余地。

Oil prices rise, stocks fall ahead of Trump’s Tuesday night deadline for Iran

April 7, 2026 / 10:24 AM EDT / CBS News

Oil prices rose on Tuesday and stocks fell ahead of President Trump’s 8 p.m. EST deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to avoid sweeping airstrikes on infrastructure targets, including power plants and bridges.

The S&P 500 index fell 46 points, or 0.7%, to 6,566 in early trading, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 324 points, or 0.7%, to 46,346. The tech-heavy Nasdaq dropped 1.1%.

Brent crude, the international oil benchmark, rose 1% to $110.81 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. benchmark, jumped 2.9% to $115.70.

Surging oil costs have driven up U.S. gasoline prices to their highest level since 2022. The average national price for a gallon of regular gas climbed on Tuesday to $4.14, up from $2.98 just before the outbreak of hostilities, according to data from AAA.

In a Truth Social post on Tuesday morning, Mr. Trump said a “whole civilization will die tonight” unless a deal is reached with Iran by his Tuesday night deadline.

“I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” the president said in his post.

The stock market has gyrated for weeks amid uncertainty over the war in the Middle East, which has strangled the global flow of oil and liquified natural gas, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining effectively shut to oil tankers. Oil prices have climbed more than 50% since the war began at the end of February, prompting economists to warn of rising inflation risks.

The reaction on Tuesday from investors is relatively muted given the economic risks that could be in store if the war escalates, said Nigel Green, the CEO of investment firm de Vere Group.

“Markets are behaving as if this is background noise,” Green said in an email. “A fixed, public deadline from the U.S. president creates a binary outcome within hours — either de-escalation or direct strikes on Iranian infrastructure.”

He added, “This is a potentially huge market event like no other. It’s a known unknown with a clock.”

Analysts with Mizuho Bank noted that Mr. Trump’s latest actions mark “an escalation cycle that has now been extended several times since his first ultimatum in late March.”

“Given the differing perspectives, hopes of a complete resolution to the conflict remain elusive while countries continue to work on bilateral solutions,” they said.

Investors are banking on the Trump administration holding off on a “scorched earth campaign” later today because the U.S. has achieved many of its strategic objectives and Iran made some small concessions in recent days, said Wall Street analyst Adam Crisafulli of Vital Knowledge in a research note.

“Notwithstanding his increasingly bellicose rhetoric, none of the escalatory options available to Trump (civilian infrastructure bombing campaign, militarily reopening Hormuz, and/or seizing the enriched uranium) are good ones,” he wrote.

Because of the potentially high costs of escalating the conflict, Mr. Trump may “be forced to pursue an offramp of some sort,” Crisafulli added.
