RED BLUFF— Pacific Gas & Electric Co. customers in the Tehama County areas of Manton, Paynes Creek, Mineral, and the Shingletownn area in Shasta will be affected by a Friday night planned power outage while the company conducts safety and reliability work. PG&E said the six-hour planned power outage is necessary so crews can safely perform work on insulators, grounds and a switch at the Volta substation near Manton. The planned outage will begin at about 11 p.m. and last until about 5 a.m. The utility company has notified nearly 4,000 customers whose services will be affected by the planned outage through letters and automated phone calls. Regional Vice President of PG&E’s North Valley and Sierra Region Joe Wilson said the company has worked hard to keep this planned power outage as short as possible and to occur at a time that it hopes will cause only a minimal inconvenience to customers while crews perform vital work to ensure safety and reliability. PG&E notified officials in affected counties and emergency agencies in the region to ensure they were aware.

By Donato Paolo Mancini, Jennifer Jacobs and Alex Wickham, Bloomberg News Israel is bracing for a direct and unprecedented attack by Iran on government targets as soon as Saturday, according to people familiar with western intelligence assessments, a move that has the potential to trigger an all-out regional war. The assault from Iranian soil has emerged as one of the main scenarios expected by the Jewish state and its allies, said the people, who asked not to be identified as they aren’t authorized to discuss the matter publicly. A bombardment with drones and precision missiles could come within the next 48 hours, they said. The U.S. is preparing defenses and has moved additional military assets to the region, while intensifying diplomatic efforts to rein in hostilities, the people said. The move still hasn’t been approved by Tehran’s highest-ranking officials, they said. Brent crude futures, the international oil benchmark, jumped as much as 1.8% to more than $91 a barrel in London on Friday, extending the year-to-date advance to 18%. A Iranian missile and drone barrage would represent a retaliation for a deadly attack on its

By PAUL WISEMAN, GISELA SALOMON and CHRISTOPHER RUGABER Associated Press MIAMI (AP) — Having fled economic and political chaos in Venezuela, Luisana Silva now loads carpets for a South Carolina rug company. She earns enough to pay rent, buy groceries, gas up her car — and send money home to her parents. Reaching the United States was a harrowing ordeal. Silva, 25, her husband and their then-7-year-old daughter braved the treacherous jungles of Panama’s Darien Gap, traveled the length of Mexico, crossed the Rio Grande and then turned themselves in to the U.S. Border Patrol in Brownsville, Texas. Seeking asylum, they received a work permit last year and found jobs in Rock Hill, South Carolina. “My plan is to help my family that much need the money and to grow economically here,” Silva said. Her story amounts to far more than one family’s arduous quest for a better life. The millions of jobs that Silva and other new immigrant arrivals have been filling in the United States appear to solve a riddle that has confounded economists for at least a year: How has the economy managed

Measles outbreaks in the U.S. and abroad are raising health experts’ concern about the preventable, once-common childhood virus. One of the world’s most contagious diseases, measles can lead to potentially serious complications. The best defense, according to experts? Get vaccinated. Here’s what to know about the year — so far — in measles. How many measles cases has the U.S. seen this year? Nationwide, measles cases already are nearly double the total for all of last year. The U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention documented 113 cases as of April 5. There have been seven outbreaks and most of U.S. cases — 73% — are linked to those flare-ups. Still, the count is lower than some recent years: 2014 saw 667 cases and 2019 had 1,274. Why is this a big deal? The 2019 measles epidemic was the worst in almost three decades, and threatened the United States’ status as a country that has eliminated measles by stopping the continual spread of the measles virus. The CDC on Thursday released a report on recent measles case trends, noting that cases in the first three months of this year were 17

By JONEL ALECCIA (AP Health Writer) Drug regulators in Europe have found no evidence that popular diabetes and weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are linked to a higher risk of suicidal thoughts or actions. The European Medicines Agency regulatory committee announced the results of its review on Friday. It’s the latest group to conclude there’s no known tie between a new class of obesity drugs and suicide. In January, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said a preliminary review showed no evidence of such a link, though the agency said it could not rule out that “a small risk may exist” and that it would continue to study the issue. A federally funded U.S. study also found that people taking semaglutide, the medication in Ozempic and Wegovy, had a lower risk of suicidal thoughts than those taking older medications to treat diabetes and obesity. The review by the European Union’s regulators was triggered last July by anecdotal reports that people taking the drugs had thoughts of self-harm. The regulators examined studies, post-marketing data and other research related to medications used in nearly a dozen
