Rams linebacker Ernest Jones IV could soon be on the move — to another team. The Rams informed Jones and his agents that they are open to trading the team captain and that his representatives can speak with other teams regarding a trade and a new contract, people with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly said Sunday. They requested anonymity because a deal has not been made. Jones, 24, has started since midway through his rookie season in 2021, and helped the Rams win Super Bowl LVI. Last season Jones made a team-best 145 tackles, including 4½ sacks, as the Rams exceeded expectations, finished 10-7 and made the playoffs. Though he plays a position the Rams have not considered a premium, Jones appeared primed for an extension, especially after star defensive lineman Aaron Donald, the pillar of the defense, announced his retirement. But as Jones, a third-round draft pick in 2021, entered the final year of his contract, the Rams shied from offering him a deal. Last spring at the NFL owners annual meetings general manager Les Snead indicated the team would

August 25, 2024 / 12:10 PM EDT / CBS News The following is a transcript of an interview with Rep. Pat Ryan, Democrat of New York, on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” that aired on Aug. 25, 2024. MARGARET BRENNAN: All right, Congresswoman Lee, thank you for your perspective. For a slightly different one from a fellow Democrat, we are joined now by New York Congressman Pat Ryan. Good morning. REP. PAT RYAN: Hey, how are you doing, Margaret? MARGARET BRENNAN: I’m doing well. You know you were at the DNC this week, speaking on stage. You were one of the very first House Democrats to call out and publicly say Joe Biden needed to pass the torch. You’re in a tight rear election race in Hudson Valley, New York. Do you think that having Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket makes it easier for you to win than if Joe Biden had stayed? REP. PAT RYAN: Without question. I mean coming out of the DNC and for the last, now month plus, we have just seen such energy, such enthusiasm, such

August 25, 2024 / 12:06 PM EDT / CBS News The following is a transcript of an interview with H.R. McMaster, former National Security Adviser, on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” that aired on Aug. 25, 2024. MARGARET BRENNAN: And we are joined now by CBS News Foreign Policy and National Security Contributor, retired Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster. He has a new book out, “At War With Ourselves: My Tour of Duty in the Trump White House,” about his service there as National Security Advisor. Welcome back to the program. Just on the news of the moment, CENTCOM has about 40,000 U.S. troops in the region, this real muscular show of force. How concerned are you about miscalculation and blowback to those U.S. forces? LT. GENERAL H.R. MCMASTER: Yeah. Well, what I’m- what I’m concerned about, Margaret, is that those forces will be constrained in what they’re able to do in response. I think what we’ve seen is a reluctance to act like we know what the return address is for- for this violence. And of course, the return address is- is Iran. And

By Matt Schooley Updated on: August 25, 2024 / 11:42 AM EDT / CBS Boston CBS News Live CBS News Boston Live PLAINVILLE – Massachusetts State Police said a man stole a Jeep from Gillette Stadium during the Kenny Chesney concert Saturday night and later slammed into a family of six stopped at a red light, killing a 10-year-old boy.

While one man was shot and losing blood rapidly on the streets of Carson, another was prepared for the occasion and administered aid that first responders called life saving. Around 12:20 a.m. on Sunday, former Army medic Johnny Carabajal was driving home from a fishing gear shop on Wilmington Avenue near Carson Street when he saw a man and woman on the ground in the middle of the road. Carabajal pulled his vehicle over and the woman screamed out to him, telling him that the man on the ground was shot. After observing a gunshot wound to the leg, Carabajal went back to his vehicle and took out a tourniquet that he happened to have with him. 18-year-old on dialysis, 45-year-old father of 3 identified as Carson shooting victims “I had a tourniquet in my car, it’s actually a tourniquet I’ve been working on for the past couple of years,” Carabajal said. “I grabbed it, I ran up and saw the hole in his leg and it was bleeding bright red blood so I knew it needed a tourniquet.” After applying the tourniquet, the victim

Police in Simi Valley arrested three teenagers in a stolen vehicle after an officer witnessed one of them taking clothes from a Kohl’s without paying.  The Simi Valley Police Department stated that their license plate reader technology picked up a hit on a stolen vehicle late Saturday afternoon.  The exact time was not released.  Authorities tracked the car down to the parking lot of the Kohl’s, located at 2930 Tapo Canyon Road, and as officers attempted to contact the two occupants, a third subject exited the Kohl’s carrying “an armful of clothing” and got into the car.  “The vehicle proceeded to exit the parking lot onto Tapo Canyon Road and a pursuit was initiated,” SVPD said in a release.    The vehicle drove north on Tapo Canyon and continued 12 miles into an unincorporated part of Ventura County before being stopped near the Santa Clara Valley Gas Plant, located in the foothills between Simi Valley and Piru.  2 men found shot to death on opposite sides of street in Carson All three occupants – ages 18, 16 and 15 – were taken into custody without

August 25, 2024 / 11:13 AM EDT / CBS News The following is a transcript of an interview with Michael Herzog, Israeli ambassador to the U.S., on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” that aired on Aug. 25, 2024. MARGARET BRENNAN: And we’re joined by the Israeli ambassador to the United States, Michael Herzog. Ambassador, good to have you here. AMBASSADOR MICHAEL HERZOG: Good morning, Margaret. MARGARET BRENNAN: So we just heard about the casualties. Tell me, was this friendly fire? Did Hezbollah, as they claim, actually cause some Israeli casualties? AMB. HERZOG: So what happened yesterday is that we identify concrete planning and preparation by Hezbollah to launch a massive missile and drone attack into Israel, and we carried the real time operation in order to degrade those capabilities that were about to be launched at Israel. We were successful. Nevertheless, they launched several hundred rockets into Israel, and also drones that were aimed at central Israel, and we intercepted all of them. One of our soldiers was killed by the debris of Israeli interceptors. MARGARET BRENNAN: Do you assess at this point that

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel launched a wave of airstrikes across southern Lebanon early Sunday in what it called a preemptive strike to avert a large Hezbollah rocket and missile attack. The militant group said it fired hundreds of rockets and drones to avenge the killing of a top commander last month. Both sides halted the heavy exchange of fire by mid-morning, signaling no immediate further escalation. It came as Egypt hosted high-level talks aimed at a cease-fire in the 10-month-old Israel-Hamas war in Gaza that diplomats hope will ease regional tensions. Israel and Hezbollah said they aimed only at military targets. Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, said its attack had been delayed to give cease-fire talks a chance and the target was an Israeli military intelligence base close to Tel Aviv. Hezbollah, like Hamas, is backed by Iran. Israel’s military said one soldier with the navy was killed and two others were wounded either by an interceptor for incoming fire, or by shrapnel from one. Two Hezbollah fighters and a militant from an allied group were killed, the groups said. Hezbollah called its attack on Israeli

On Saturday and Sunday, Ramona Park in Grover Beach will be home to the annual Stone Soup Music Festival. 17 events and artists will be taking the stage throughout the weekend. Hosted by the Clark Center for the Performing Arts, the festival has drawn in locals with free music and activities for over 30 years. Development Director at the Clark Center for the Performing Arts Bronwyn Keith says that the most important part of the event is the inclusion that it offers. “The main point of this festival is diversity. Our bands reflect that. There’s something for everyone. We have some bluegrass, we have some rock’n’roll, we have 80’s we have reggae,” Keith said. “We just have. That’s our main point.” If you missed the festival today, there is still a fully-packed day ahead. The festivities start off Sunday at 11 a.m. with a Mardi-Paws dog parade, followed by lots of local artists performing until 6 p.m. A full lineup of performances can be found here.

Cancer survivors and their loved ones joined together in Orcutt Saturday for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life event. The event served as a way for people affected by the disease to connect, and also as a fundraiser for cancer research. Lisa Bodrogi, a 14-year cancer survivor, said that the fundraiser and the people involved are especially important following her cancer diagnosis. “Some people think, ‘Oh, cancer’s been around so long, it’s not that big of a deal.’ But when you’re on the journey, you really realize all that’s involved to keep yourself alive,” Bodrogi said. Organizers say that the event usually raises about $10,000 a year. The next Relay for Life event will be held at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on May 17, 2025.

Los Angeles City Councilman Tim McOsker is calling for the city to provide more police officers and other safety resources after another 7-Eleven was ransacked by a large group of thieves who got away. The latest in a series of similar crimes occurred at about 1:40 a.m. Saturday, when police received several calls about a possible street takeover and a disturbance inside a 7-Eleven in the area of Gaffey and First streets, a watch commander at the LAPD’s Harbor station told City News Service. When officers arrived at the scene they reported that the convenience store had been ransacked and several items had been stolen. The suspects had already fled before officers’ arrived, according to the watch commander. Police had no suspect information. Spokeswoman Margaret Stewart of the Los Angeles Fire Department told CNS that paramedics were dispatched at 1:38 a.m. to the 700 block of West First Street regarding a shooting, but were canceled by the LAPD. ABC7 reported that about 30-50 people trashed the store, knocking over shelves and stealing approximately $40,000 in merchandise, including cigarettes and thousands of dollars worth of lottery

A14.5-mile segment of the 19-mile, $7.1 billion Metro Southeast Gateway Line is now eligible for federal funding, Los Angeles County officials announced. Federal officials have given final approval Friday to environmental review documents for what will be a massive extension of the local transit system meant to serve residents of the county who have traditionally had fewer rail options, officials said. The Federal Transit Administration on Friday issued its Record of Decision for the first segment of the line, signing off on documents the Metro Board certified in April. “This line is going to serve one of the regions that has historically been left behind whenever we’ve expanded our Metro system,” County Supervisor and Metro Board Chair Janice Hahn said Saturday. Hahn represents the region that will be served by the line. “We made it clear to our federal partners that these communities needed and deserved this critical investment, and they’ve delivered. Now let’s get to work,” she added. Utility work on the project is expected to begin by the end of this year. When completed, the full 19-mile Southeast Gateway Line will serve 1.4
