Police clear pro-Palestinian encampment at UCLA; 132 people arrested | WATCH LIVE

LOS ANGELES — Police removed barricades and began dismantling a pro-Palestinian demonstrators’ fortified encampment early Thursday at the University of California, Los Angeles, after hundreds of protesters defied orders to leave. Some people were detained, their hands bound with zip ties. According to the California Highway Patrol, 132 people were arrested. The action came after officers spent hours threatening arrests over loudspeakers if people did not disperse. A crowd of more than 1,000 had gathered on campus, both inside a barricaded tent encampment and outside it, in support. Protesters and police shoved and scuffled as officers encountered resistance. With police helicopters hovering, the sound of flash-bangs, which produce a bright light and a loud noise to disorient and stun people, pierced the air. Protesters chanted, “Where were you last night?” at the officers, in reference to Tuesday night, when counterprotesters attacked the encampment and the UCLA administration and campus police took hours to respond.

Prosecutions seek additional sanctions for Trump in hush money case as key witness resumes testimony

NEW YORK — Prosecutors in Donald Trump’s hush money trial sought additional sanctions over his out-of-court comments Thursday ahead of testimony from a lawyer who represented two women who have said they had sexual encounters with the former president. The testimony from attorney Keith Davidson is seen as a vital building block for the prosecution’s case that Trump and his allies schemed to bury unflattering stories in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election. Davidson is one of multiple key players expected to be called to the stand in advance of prosecutors’ star witness, Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and personal fixer. But before the start of testimony, prosecutors in the Manhattan district attorney’s office requested $1,000 fines for each of four comments by Trump that they say violated a judge’s gag order barring him from attacking witnesses, jurors and others closely connected to the case. Such a penalty would be on top of a $9,000 fine that Judge Juan M. Merchan imposed Tuesday related to nine separate gag order violations that he found. “The defendant is talking about witnesses and the jury in this

J&J subsidiary proposes paying about $6.48B over 25 years to settle talc ovarian cancer lawsuits

By MICHELLE CHAPMAN Thursday, May 2, 2024 1:47PM Johnson & Johnson is proposing to pay $6.48 billion as part of a settlement to cover allegations that powder containing talc caused ovarian cancer. A subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson is now proposing to pay approximately $6.48 billion over 25 years as part of a settlement in the U.S. to cover allegations that its baby powder containing talc caused ovarian cancer. The lawsuits filed against J&J had alleged its talcum powder caused users to develop ovarian cancer, through use for feminine hygiene, or mesothelioma, a cancer that strikes the lungs and other organs. The claims contributed to drop in J&J’s sales of baby powder, prompting the company to stop selling its talc-based products in 2020. In 2022, J&J announced plans to cease sales of the product worldwide. J&J said that the reorganization plan for the subsidiary that was being announced on Wednesday was significantly different from the previous reorganization that was announced. Those differences include a three-month solicitation period during which ovarian claimants can vote for or against the plan. This is something that was denied in

Ford recalls Maverick pickups in US because tail lights can go dark, increasing the risk of a crash

Thursday, May 2, 2024 1:04PM More than 240,000 Ford Maverick pickup trucks are being recalled due to an electrical glitch. DEARBORN, Michigan — Ford is recalling nearly 243,000 Maverick small pickup trucks in the U.S. because the tail lights may not illuminate. The company says a computer can falsely detect too much current on one or both of the tail lamps, causing them to stay dark while the trucks are being driven. That can increase the risk of a crash. The recall covers certain pickups from the 2022 through 2024 model years. Ford says it has no reports of any crashes or injuries due to the problem. Headlights, turn signals and brake lights will still work. Documents posted Wednesday on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website say dealers will update software to fix the problem at no cost to owners. Notification letters will be mailed starting May 20. Copyright © 2024 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
