Democrats flee Texas to block Republican redistricting map backed by Trump
WASHINGTON — Democratic state lawmakers have fled Texas in a bid to stop a vote on a new congressional map that would heavily favour Republicans.The redistricting, unveiled by Texas' majority Republicans last week and backed by President Donald Trump, would create five new Republican-leaning seats in the US House of Representatives.Two-thirds of the 150-member Texas legislature must be present in order to hold a vote. Fifty-one Democratic lawmakers have fled, most of them to Illinois, denying Republicans the required quorum.They said they plan to stay away for two weeks until the end of a special legislative session convened by Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott.The session is being held to approve the redistricting, as well as provide disaster relief for last month's deadly...

Donald Trump announces new tariffs
Trump announces new tariffs across the globe
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump signed an executive order that imposed new tariffs on dozens of countries, which will go into effect in seven days, a deadline that has been delayed by a week so that the tariff schedule could be updated.To many, the tariff hikes do not come as a surprise, as Trump initially announced them in April. He had set a minimum 10% tariff on every country in the world and additional levies on dozens deemed the worst offenders, citing deficits and unfair trade practices with the US.Trump delayed the deadline of the tariff implementation, dubbed "Liberation Day," several times, allowing trading partners to negotiate.Some of them were able to negotiate an agreement and even reach tariff-reducing deals.A 15% tariff rate for the EU, for example, was...

LOS ANGELES — Many Hawaiians have heeded official advice to leave coastal areas, after a powerful earthquake thousands of miles away near Russia caused tsunami waves to reach the US state and other parts of the Pacific.Waves several feet high were recorded on the islands of Maui, Oahu and Hawaii on Tuesday evening, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said, urging people to take "urgent action" to protect lives and property.The centre later downgraded its tsunami warning for Hawaii to a tsunami advisory, though cautioned that flooding was still possible.Governor Josh Green struck a hopeful tone, saying he had yet to see a "wave of consequence" in the state.He had earlier advised people in low-lying areas to move to higher ground, and noted that that roads were getting...

Police officer among four dead in shooting at New York City office building
NEW YORK — A New York City police officer is among four people killed in a shooting inside a Midtown Manhattan high-rise.Police said the gunman walked into the office building on Monday evening with an MR rifle in clear view before spraying bullets in the lobby and on an upper floor. He then took his own life.The shooting, in the center of the most populous US city, sent pedestrians running for cover as police warned of an active gunman around 1830 ET. Those inside the building cowered as gunfire echoed - some even piling couches and chairs against doors as they hid in offices.Police say the suspect, Shane Devon Tamura, 27, travelled from Las Vegas but a motive is unclear.Among those killed was New York City officer Didarul Islam, who was working security at the building at the time of...
