Tijuana (Mexico) (AFP) - The bodies of two Australian surfers murdered in Mexico were taken to the United States on Thursday to be delivered to their relatives for the long journey home. The funeral home transporting the remains of brothers Jake and Callum Robinson, who were aged 30 and 33 respectively, confirmed that they had been transferred from Tijuana to San Diego where their parents were waiting. The body of their 30-year-old American friend Jack Carter Rhoad, who was also murdered, was in the care of another funeral company. The tourists had been camping in a remote beachside area in vi...

By Maggy DONALDSON New York (AFP) - Stormy Daniels et l'avocate de Donald Trump se sont affrontées jeudi lors d'un contre-interrogatoire musclé, où les questions ont parfois tourné à l'étrange, allant jusqu'à provoquer l'irritation du juge. Lors d'échanges tendus, l'ancienne actrice pornographique Stormy Daniels a fait preuve d'une grande réactivité et ténacité, tout en sachant se montrer vulnérable, alors que la défense raillait sa carrière et s'en prenait à sa crédibilité. Dans cette salle d'audience aux lustres néons blancs, Stormy Daniels a répondu aux attaques, des heures durant, lors de ...

Carol Stream (United States) (AFP) - Richard Rung recalls it vividly: German artillery firing on his landing craft, the sound of machine gun bullets striking the vessel, blood mixed with seawater on the deck, troops crying on the beach. It has been nearly eight decades since Rung landed in France on D-Day -- June 6, 1944 -- as a 19-year-old US Navy sailor, part of a massive amphibious invasion that broke through German coastal defenses in a key victory for Allied forces. He now lives in a suburb of Chicago with Dorothy, his wife of 75 years, but his memories of the violence and death he witnes...

Washington (AFP) - It could be a loyal lieutenant, an ex-rival or perhaps a political newcomer, but one thing is certain: all eyes are on White House hopeful Donald Trump as he considers potential running mates. A shrewd vice-presidential pick could help the Republican tycoon broaden his support base, and a handful of names have emerged as most likely to appear at Trump's side as he limbers for a second showdown with Joe Biden in November. Here are the most commonly-cited runners and riders. Tim ScottIt is no secret that Trump likes what Scott's profile says about the staunchly conservative, ...

Washington (AFP) - Can we believe the polls? Six months before the US presidential election, pollsters are scrambling to get an accurate read on the people voting for Donald Trump, a group that has systematically eluded them for eight years and counting. The Republican's victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016 took the United States and the world by surprise. But it was above all the 2020 election, won by Joe Biden, that forced a reckoning for pollsters. That vote produced polling errors of "unusual magnitude" -- the highest in 40 years for the popular vote, and 20 years for state-level ...

Washington (AFP) - She abandoned her White House ambitions two months ago, yet Nikki Haley is still taking a significant chunk of votes in presidential primary contests -- underlining a persistent refusal among a sizable bloc of Republicans to get behind Donald Trump. In his latest victory over Haley in Indiana on Tuesday, the polarizing tycoon romped home with 460,000 votes -- but he only notched 78 percent support, an underwhelming tally for a former president essentially seen as an incumbent. In Marion County alone, the highest populated part of the state that includes Indianapolis, Haley w...

New York (AFP) - Stormy Daniels finished her marathon testimony at Donald Trump's hush money trial on Thursday with attorneys for the former president seeking to paint her as a greedy liar who profited from her allegations. The X-rated film actress, who claims to have had sex with the married Trump in 2006, denied that she threatened the tycoon if he did not buy her silence. "I wanted the truth to come out... to get my story protected with a paper trail so that my family didn't get hurt," the 45-year-old Daniels said during aggressive cross-examination by Trump's attorney Susan Necheles.

New York (AFP) - Donald Trump's defense attorney and Stormy Daniels went head to head on Thursday during cross-examination of the porn star's blistering testimony, the line of questioning occasionally meandering into the bizarre and even earning a critique afterward from the judge. Under examination that frequently veered hostile, Daniels was quick on her feet, toeing a tight line between tenacity and vulnerability as jurors watched the defense deride her career and assail her credibility. She clapped back for hours during the most intense testimony yet in the criminal trial, which centers on ...

Washington (AFP) - The US Homeland Security Department on Thursday proposed a new rule that would allow for swifter expulsion of asylum seekers deemed to be a national security threat or who have been convicted of serious crimes. As he seeks re-election in November, President Joe Biden is under constant attack from Republicans, led by his presumptive opponent Donald Trump, with accusations that he is allowing undocumented people to cross over the southern US border in droves. The proposal published Thursday would allow authorities to reject claims from asylum seekers with certain criminal back...

San Francisco (AFP) - Apple apologized on Thursday after an ad for its latest-edition iPad caused an uproar for showing an industrial press crushing objects linked to human creativity, infuriating artists. Social media users immediately criticized the ad, which was posted on X by Apple CEO Tim Cook, as painfully tone-deaf at a time when the creative community is worried about its future with the emergence of generative AI. "Creativity is in our DNA at Apple, and it's incredibly important to us to design products that empower creatives all over the world," Apple's vice president of marketing To...
