A High Surf Advisory has been issued as SoCal braces for gusty winds and two rounds of heavy rain this weekend. Large breaking waves up to 8 feet high are in the forecast, the National Weather Service said, adding that dangerous rip currents can also be expected.  The advisory goes into effect for the Malibu coast and all Ventura and Los Angeles County beaches at 9 a.m. Saturday.  “There is an increased risk for ocean drowning,” the High Surf Advisory warned. “Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea, and large breaking waves can cause injury, wash people off beaches and rocks and capsize small boats near shore.”  ‘Run, run, run’: Chaos at a Sydney mall as 6 people stabbed to death; suspect fatally shot The big waves are due to a powerful storm moving south from the Central Coast that will bring SoCal “very heavy rain” on Saturday afternoon, according to KTLA 5 meteorologist Kacey Montoya.   “This will last about three to six hours, and we are expecting anywhere from half an inch to an inch for L.A. and Ventura counties,” Montoya said. “[There will

April 13, 2024 / 10:04 AM EDT / AP Eye Opener: Village stormed in search for boy Eye Opener: Village stormed in search for missing boy 02:06 Israel’s army said Saturday the body of a missing Israeli teen was found in the West Bank after he was killed in a “terrorist attack,” as violence escalated across the Israeli-occupied territory where tensions have simmered for months. The disappearance of 14-year-old Binyamin Achimair sparked attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinian villages on Friday and Saturday. On Friday, one Palestinian was killed and 25 others were wounded in the attack on al-Mughayyir village, Palestinian health officials said. On Saturday, Israeli troops delayed for several hours the ambulance carrying the 26-year-old man’s body for burial, witnesses said. Dozens of Israeli settlers returned to the village’s outskirts on Saturday, burning 12 homes and several cars. The Palestinian Health Ministry said three people from the village were injured, one critically. Border police fired tear gas toward villagers who gathered, trying to disperse them. In the nearby village of Douma, Israeli settlers set fire to several homes, according to Wafa, the official

SYDNEY (AP) — A man stabbed six people to death at a busy Sydney shopping center Saturday before he was fatally shot, police said, with hundreds fleeing the chaotic scene, many weeping as they carried their children. Eight people, including a 9-month-old, were injured. New South Wales police said they believed a 40-year-old man was responsible for the Saturday afternoon attack at the Westfield Shopping Centre in Bondi Junction, in the city’s eastern suburbs and not far from the world-famous Bondi Beach. They said they were not able to name him until a formal identification had taken place but that they weren’t treating the attack as terrorism-related. The man was shot dead by a police inspector after he turned and raised a knife, New South Wales Assistant Police Commissioner Anthony Cooke told reporters. “This all happened very, very quickly — the officer that was in the vicinity attended on her own, was guided to the location of the offender by people who were in the center,” he said. “She took the actions that she did saving a range of people’s lives.” The attack at the

It wasn’t long after the televised spectacle of O.J. Simpson fleeing a phalanx of police cars in a slow-moving white Ford Bronco on June 17, 1994, that batterers across Los Angeles adopted a bone-chilling new threat. I’m gonna O.J. you. “We all heard it working with our clients,” said Gail Pincus, executive director of the Domestic Abuse Center in Los Angeles. “I heard it directly from the abusers. It was a form of intimidation, of silencing and getting compliance from their victims.” Abuse survivors, meanwhile, flooded rape and battery hotlines and shelters, telling advocates: I don’t want to be the next Nicole. The phone “was almost off the hook,” said Patti Giggans, executive director of Peace over Violence, then called the Los Angeles Commission on Assaults Against Women. “We were overloaded.” “People were reaching out for help; they wanted to know, ‘Could that be me? Could that happen to me?’” she said. “It was a revelation that somebody could die.” For the American public, the slayings of Simpson’s ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman were practically inescapable in those days. An estimated

April 13, 2024 4:30 AM PT 1 South Carolina is an amazing undefeated national championship team. The NCAA not awarding Most Outstanding Player in the tournament to Caitlin Clark is a travesty. It was a noble gesture by coach Dawn Staley to recognize Clark as a “GOAT of our sport” in her postgame interview. Brad Kearns Stateline, Nev. :: Obviously, South Carolina was too big, too deep, and too well-coached for even the great Caitlin Clark to overcome. After an impressive 18-point first quarter, she virtually disappeared with only 12 points for the rest of the game. And, in the closing minutes, the Hawkeyes were only six points down and in striking distance of a miraculous comeback. But, instead of Clark putting her team on her back and taking them home, she all but sealed the victory for South Carolina with several turnovers and blown layups. While she may indeed be the projected “Steph Curry“ of the WNBA, that was not a GOAT-like performance in her final college game.

Updated on: April 13, 2024 / 11:53 AM EDT / AP SYDNEY (AP) — A man stabbed six people to death at a busy Sydney shopping center Saturday before he was fatally shot, police said. Eight people, including a 9-month-old, were injured in the attack. The 40-year-old suspect began stabbing people at the Westfield Shopping Centre in Bondi Junction, which is in the city’s eastern suburbs, before a police inspector shot him after he turned and raised a knife, New South Wales Assistant Police Commissioner Anthony Cooke told reporters. Six of the victims — five women and a man — and the suspect died. Commissioner Karen Webb said the eight injured people were being treated at hospitals. The baby was in surgery, but it was too early to know the condition, she said. “We are confident that there is no ongoing risk, and we are dealing with one person who is now deceased,” Webb said in a later briefing. She added: “It’s not a terrorism incident.” A crowd gathers outside Westfield Shopping Centre in Sydney, Saturday, April 13, 2024. Media reports say multiple people have

Justin Foronda is the type of creative, motivated, second-generation entrepreneur who should be able to thrive in Los Angeles. Born and raised in Historic Filipinotown, Foronda opened Hifi Kitchen in 2019 and kept the doors open during the pandemic’s economic disruptions through pure hustle. Last year the 37-year-old staged a Filipino holiday market across street from Hifi to draw crowds to the neighborhood. He started a board game night at the store to bring in customers. Next weekend he’s organized a panel of DJs and emcees to discuss the history of Filipinos in hip hop, and he’s created drink and meal specials for each panelist. He’s also tried opening a gift shop, selling apparel, and doing desserts. He offers new specials almost every week. Foronda also works weekends as a nurse — and ends up floating the restaurant a lot of those earnings. All that effort has earned him nearly 6,000 followers on Instagram and kept the restaurant open for five years — no small feat given the economic contortions of the last half decade. But with California’s new minimum wage for fast-food workers taking

Ippei Mizuhara entered a courtroom in shackles. Shohei Ohtani flew around Chavez Ravine on wings. On the most sobering, sensational of Fridays, one man’s arrest became another man’s freedom, a simple ballgame serving as a striking example of brilliance unburdened. Just down the street from Dodger Stadium, Ohtani’s longtime interpreter and close colleague Mizuhara surrendered to authorities on charges of stealing more than $16 million from Ohtani to supply his gambling addiction. Hours later, Ohtani did not give an inch to the San Diego Padres, clobbering a first-inning home run and adding two scorching doubles in an eventual 8-7, 11-inning defeat. The two events felt related. The divergence of the two paths now feels real. Now that Mizuhara is facing 30 years in prison, Ohtani can now strictly concentrate on facing pitchers. You think the Dodgers superstar feels relieved at this first sign of closure? You think he hasn’t been affected by all the chatter that perhaps he was a knowing participant in the gambling scandal? You think he’s thrilled the cynicism has been silenced? The calmest of stars was certainly feeling something, because he

Updated on: April 13, 2024 / 7:09 AM EDT / AP Israel-Iran tensions: Impact on Middle East How an Iranian attack on Israel could impact the Middle East 03:48 DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A video seen by The Associated Press shows commandos raiding a ship near the Strait of Hormuz by helicopter Saturday, an attack a Mideast defense official attributed to Iran amid wider tensions between Tehran and the West. Iran state media acknowledged revolutionary guard commandos carried out the attack and seized control of the ship. The video showed the attack earlier reported by the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations. It described the vessel as being “seized by regional authorities” in the Gulf of Oman off the Emirati port city of Fujairah, without elaborating. The defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, shared the video with the AP. In it, the commandos rappelled down onto a stack of containers sitting on the deck of the vessel. A crew member on the ship could be heard saying: “Don’t come out.” He then tells his colleagues to

Updated on: April 13, 2024 / 6:57 AM EDT / AP SYDNEY (AP) — A man stabbed six people to death at a busy Sydney shopping center Saturday before he was fatally shot, police said. Multiple people, including a small child, were also injured in the attack. The suspect stabbed nine people at the Westfield Shopping Centre in Bondi Junction, which is in the city’s eastern suburbs, before a police inspector shot him after he turned and raised a knife, New South Wales Assistant Police Commissioner Anthony Cooke told reporters. Five of the victims and the suspect died, he said. He had no specific details on the condition of the injured. Cooke said he believed that the suspect acted alone, and he was “content that there is no continuing threat.” He said officials didn’t know who the offender was. “This is quite raw,” he said, and a “lengthy and precise” investigation was just beginning. He said there was “nothing that we are aware of at the scene that would indicate any motive or any ideology.” When asked whether officials were ruling out terrorism, he said:

The astonishing saga of a tied Silicon Valley congressional race took another zag this week, with multiple citizens submitting official requests for recounts. Two candidates tied for second place in the primary to replace retiring Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Menlo Park), meaning both they and the first-place finisher will face off in the November general election, per California elections code. All three are prominent local Democrats who fielded serious campaigns in the primary. The slated three-way race is, to put it mildly, a highly unusual outcome, even in the wild world of California politics. It is the first time this has happened in a congressional race since the state shifted to its nonpartisan primary system in 2012, which dictates that the top two finishers advance to the November ballot regardless of party affiliation. A recount could theoretically put a kibosh on a November three-way race, if the vote totals change. The calls for recounts — which could cost the citizen requesters hundreds of thousands of dollars — have also raised questions about who is truly behind the effort and generated a fresh round of campaign mud-slinging.

What is more psychically exhausting, in fiction and I suppose in life, than the story of the double agent, the mole, the traitor embedded among those he’s working against? It’s a dramatic theme we return to again and again — Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys got six seasons of “The Americans” out of it a few years back. But as a viewer (and perhaps this is just me), whenever characters go undercover, I want them to get along with, even be liked by, the people they’re spying upon, and I’m always disappointed, even upset, when their cover is blown — not for the spies, but for the people whose trust they betrayed. It’s hard on me, I can tell you. Such tension-added-to-tension animates “The Sympathizer,” a serious black comedy premiering Sunday at 9 p.m Pacific on HBO. (It’s no less tense for being a comedy.) Adapted by Park Chan-wook, who also directs the first three episodes, and Don McKellar from Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, and set in the near aftermath of the Vietnam War — the American War, they called it in Vietnam
