Migrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border are not entitled to apply for asylum until they set foot in the country, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday.
The 6-3 decision clears the way for the Trump administration to resume a policy that allows federal agents posted at the border to turn back asylum seekers before they enter the country. The case hinged on how to interpret immigration laws that say any noncitizen who “arrives in” the U.S. must be allowed to apply for asylum.
Shares of Apple Inc. fell over 5% after the company announcing price rise for its flagship iPad, iMac and home devices on Thursday. The company’s stock fell as low as 5.3% at 227.67, as against the previous day’s low.
The price rises were implemented by the firm to offset the surge in inpust costs caused by a prominent shortage of memory chips and storage.

The Supreme Court on Thursday sided with the manufacturer of the weedkiller Roundup, overturning a jury award for a Missouri man who claimed the widely used herbicide caused cancer in a decision that could have sweeping impacts on thousands of other Americans who similarly claim the product sickened them.
In the 7-to-2 decision, written by Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, the majority found that a federal law that regulates pesticides barred the Missouri man’s lawsuit.
Justice Kavanaugh wrote that the Missouri case would “require a cancer warning on Roundup’s label,” which would directly conflict with the label required by the federal Environmental Protection Agency. Because of this conflict, he wrote, federal law “expressly pre-empts” the Missouri man’s claim.
The dispute focused on a single case, a $1.25 million award for John Durnell, a gardener in St. Louis who had used Roundup for decades and claimed that years of exposure to the product led him to develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a blood cancer. Mr. Durnell claimed that the company had failed to warn consumers of the dangers of the product.
The ramifications of the decision could be enormous, potentially jeopardizing thousands of lawsuits pending in state and federal courts against Bayer, the German company that acquired Roundup’s original maker, Monsanto, in 2018.
The legal question before the justices focused on a narrow slice of the broader litigation: whether Bayer can be sued in state-level courts given that a federal agency decided not to issue a warning label for the weedkiller.
The Environmental Protection Agency, which is in charge of labeling pesticides throughout the country, has determined Roundup is safe. Bayer claims that the finding, which allows Roundup to be sold without a warning label, should override claims by Mr. Durnell and others that under state laws, they were injured by the product.
The Trump administration joined the case on Bayer’s side, reversing the position taken by the Biden administration. The Trump administration’s support for the Roundup manufacturer has been controversial among the Make America Healthy Again movement, whose activists had largely supported the president’s political rise.
Government lawyers asserted that once the E.P.A. determined Roundup was safe, Bayer was in fact required to abide by the agency’s decision in its product labeling.

If the company had tried to unilaterally change the product’s label, they argued, it would have violated the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act.
Roundup, which was created by Monsanto in the 1970s, is one of the most popular weedkillers in the world. But concerns over one of its active ingredients — a chemical called glyphosate that is absorbed by plants, traveling into their roots and blocking an enzyme used for their growth — have prompted one of the biggest waves of class-action lawsuits in U.S. history.
Evidence in lab animals, along with more limited evidence in humans, has shown a link between glyphosate and cancer, and a 2015 report by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer classified it as “probably carcinogenic to humans.”
The E.P.A. has studied the chemical and determined a cancer warning was not necessary. In February 2020, the agency announced findings that “there are no risks of concern to human health when glyphosate is used in accordance with its current label” and that the chemical was “unlikely” to cause cancer in humans.
After a court challenge, the E.P.A. withdrew those findings and the chemical’s safety currently remains under formal review.
In his lawsuit, Mr. Durnell said the company should be liable for failing to warn users about the risks of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma from exposure to glyphosate.
In 2023, a jury in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, a state court, sided with Mr. Durnell. The company appealed the case, which eventually landed at the Supreme Court.

Ecuador squeezed into the last 32 of the World Cup with an upset 2-1 victory over Germany on Thursday as Ivory Coast ended Curacao’s fairytale campaign to seal their passage to the knockout rounds.
A nailbiting Group E game between Ecuador and group winners Germany at the MetLife Stadium was settled 13 minutes from time, when Gonzalo Plata jabbed home the winning goal from close-range for the South Americans.
Plata’s winner came after Ecuador had recovered after Germany took the lead from a controversial Leroy Sane goal after two minutes before equalising through Nilson Angulo.
The result means Ecuador finished Group E with four points, guaranteeing them a place in the last 32 as one of the eight best third-placed teams.
Germany had already been assured of winning the group after wins over Ivory Coast and Curacao.
Ivory Coast meanwhile sealed the runners-up spot in Group E after eliminating Curacao in Philadelphia, Nicolas Pepe scoring twice in a 2-0 victory. It is the first time that the west African nation have reached the knockout stage.
Curacao, the smallest country by population ever to play in the World Cup, depart the tournament with one point to finish bottom of the group.
The Group E games kicked off another packed slate of six games across the tournament on Thursday which will give more clarity to the shape of the knockout rounds.
The United States have already clinched top spot in Group D and will be looking to end their first round campaign with a victory over already-eliminated Turkey in Los Angeles.
USA coach Mauricio Pochettino is expected to rest a number of players saying it was “unnecessary to take a risk” with Chris Richards, Antonee Robinson, Tyler Adams and Folarin Balogun, who are facing suspension if they collect another yellow card.
The US have not reached the quarter-finals of a World Cup since 2002, but a strong start has raised hopes they could go on a deep run on home turf.
Australia and Paraguay square off in a battle for second place in Santa Clara. A draw would favour the Socceroos thanks to their better goal difference but would likely be enough to send Paraguay through too.
Three-way battle in Group F
Group F remains wide open with the Netherlands, Japan and Sweden still able to finish first.
In Kansas City, the Dutch face a woeful Tunisia team that have suffered successive four-goal defeats and sacked their coach after the opening game.
Herve Renard was parachuted in after Sabri Lamouchi’s dismissal in the wake of a 5-1 loss to Sweden but his arrival did nothing to change Tunisia’s fortunes, as a 4-0 defeat by Japan knocked them out of the tournament.
Japan are level with the Netherlands on four points going into their clash with Sweden in Arlington. After beginning the World Cup with a bang, the Swedes were hammered 5-1 by the Dutch.
On Wednesday, Brazil clinched first place in Group C with a 3-0 win over Scotland in Miami, where Neymar made his first international appearance since October 2023.
Scotland face an anxious wait to see if they scrape through as one of the eight best third-placed teams.
Co-hosts Mexico sailed into the last 32 with a 3-0 defeat of the Czech Republic in an ebullient Estadio Azteca to wrap up a perfect Group A record.
The biggest surprise was South Africa’s qualification for the first time in their history as they pulled off a shock 1-0 win against South Korea to grab second place in Group A.
That set off late night celebrations in South Africa, with fans singing and honking vuvuzelas from 5:00 am, when the match finished.
“There were fireworks outside and the celebration went on for more than an hour after the game,” Soweto resident Nandi Ntini, who was woken up by the din, told AFP.
Days after Callum Turner’s wedding to Dua Lipa, a controversial statement from the British actor’s former girlfriend has surfaced, with social media users suggesting she was referring to Turner.
Although she did not name Turner, fans believe she was shading the actor because they have been in a romantic relationship.
While speaking on her Betterhalf Podcast, influencer and model Victoria Villarroel’s remarks suggest they were made when Dua Lipa and Callum Turner were engaged.
Speaking about her ex-boyfriend, Victoria says, “This man will be like I would never date somebody that gets paparazzi. I would never date a famous person, I would never go to the Met Gala that’s corny.
“My ex- boyfriend is now engaged to someone who they…he met her while he was having dinner with me like she sat next to us at this restaurant in London.
Dua Lipa and Callum Turner married last month in a simple ceremony in London and threw a party in Palermo for friends and family.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are clashing once again and this time it is over their daughter Zahara Jolie’s graduation from Spelman College.
Pitt has been accused of missing the milestone event and failing to even congratulate Zahara, according to Radar Online. However, the source noted that the actor is “upset” as he says “he was shut out and not even told when it was happening.”
“Angelina’s response is to paint him as the villain for not reaching out,” an insider said.
Jolie reportedly believes that Pitt “should have been aware that this is her graduation year and made an effort to show up for her.”
“[But] when you’ve made clear that you’re pushing him away from the children, a reasonable person cannot then complain that he’s not involved in their lives,” the source says.
On the other hand, Pitt feels like whatever he does is always “twisted against him.”
“He’s tried reaching out. He’s tried staying respectful. But every gesture gets filtered through Angelina’s narrative,” an insider shared.
It is pertinent to mention that Angelina Jolie reportedly attended the graduation alongside several of Zahara’s siblings. This has sparked another war between the ex-couple. Notably, their children are said to be begging their parents to make peace before Jolie skips the country.
A source said, “This has been horribly painful for all involved. No child wants to see their parents fight like this.”
“They’re fiercely protective of their mom so whenever there’s any sort of conflict, even over something relatively minor, they typically back her,” the source added of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s six kids: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne.
Jacob Elordi, Jenna Ortega and Teyana Taylor have reached a major career milestone in their careers after receiving invitations to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The Academy announced that 529 people from the film industry got selected for this year’s invitation list.
So if they accept, they will become members and get the chance to vote for future Oscar winners.
The list includes some of Hollywood’s biggest rising stars. Elordi, Ortega and Taylor, actors Jon Bernthal, Julia Garner, Josh O’Connor, Simu Liu, Bill Skarsgård, Paddy Considine and Stephen Fry were also invited.
The Academy said that this year’s group include 95 Oscar nominees, 21 Oscar winners and three people who received Scientific and Technical Awards.
In a joint statement, Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Lynette Howell Taylor praised the invitees for their work in film.
“We are delighted to invite this remarkable group of film artists and professionals from around the world to join the Academy,” they said.
The organisation, however, also highlighted the efforts to bring in members from different backgrounds.
According to the Academy, 42 percent of the are women, 56 percent come from underrepresented communities and 53 percent are from countries and territories outside United States.
In the city of Catia La Mar on Venezuela’s coast, Yilsmaris Blanco stared in shock at the scenes of devastation early Thursday after powerful twin earthquakes levelled dozens of buildings.
“It was terrible. Everything, everything collapsed,” the 39-year-old woman told AFP.
“We thank God because… we’re alive, but there are people right now suffering with their relatives buried, with their relatives crushed and they can’t get them out.”
Two massive earthquakes, of magnitude 7.2 and 7.5, struck areas west of the capital Caracas on Wednesday evening, killing at least 164 people and injuring nearly 1,000, according to interim leader Delcy Rodriguez.
Authorities have yet to provide a figure for those missing, as reports flooded in from across the country of people trapped under rubble.
The northern region of La Guaira, facing the Caribbean, was hit hardest.
The government’s initial toll does not include data from La Guaira — designated a “disaster area” — which is also home to the capital’s international airport.
“We have nothing, right now we have nothing, not even the strength or the courage to go in there, just imagine,” said Larry Rojas, 49, standing in front of a collapsed building where his family was trapped.
Rojas was among the thousands of affected residents in a Catia La Mar neighbourhood with nearly 200 housing towers.
Some of those buildings showed large cracks and fallen walls, while dozens of others were completely reduced to rubble, according to AFP reporters.
There was no electricity in much of the area, and dozens of residents spent the night in the streets, fearful of aftershocks.
“There are survivors down there,” said Lisbeth Vasquez, a resident who managed to get out with her family from one of the fallen buildings.
In the darkness, dozens of rescuers worked among the rubble while authorities kept a close eye as citizens shouted the names of missing loved ones.
AFP reporters saw the bodies of a man and a woman placed in the back of a pickup truck.
A well-known pharmacy in Catia La Mar was left with its glass doors shattered and its shelves empty, though authorities could not confirm if looting took place.
“What we need is help, above all technical help,” said Jose Pacheco, operations chief of the United Rescue Group of Venezuela.
“The teams that are in Caracas who know what (tools) to use and can come help here in La Guaira, they should come.”
His voice breaking, Pacheco, who has three decades of experience, said he had never seen anything like it.
“You can see the structures as they are, like this one here that is totally collapsed,” the 52-year-old said, counting around 14 damaged structures around him.
La Guaira resident Antonio Bermudez was in his living room when the shaking began “all of a sudden.”
“I started to move, I looked for shelter under a column. I was between my room and the shower. It shook harder and harder,” the 45-year-old recalled.
“I held onto the wall and the building started to come down,” Bermudez said, sitting against a wall in the street as he tried to adjust a leg he could not move after a slab fell on it.
Some residents ran through the streets with flashlights, while emergency vehicles briefly lit up the roads.
“We don’t have water, we’re dying of thirst. We go into a structure and we’re afraid it will collapse too,” Rojas said.
“Really, we need someone to help us, to send machinery. That’s what we need to get into the buildings that have collapsed.”
Former multi-weight world boxing champion Floyd Mayweather’s planned exhibition against Greek kickboxing star Mike Zambidis in Athens on Saturday is off, according to federal court filings obtained by ESPN.
The pay-per-view event was to be held at the Telekon Center at the OAKA Olympic Complex in Athens.
Events company CSI, which is suing Mayweather in connection with planned bouts against Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao, had sought an injunction in the Southern District Court of New York to prevent the Zambidis exhibition.
In a letter to the court, ESPN reported, attorney Melissa Glass said the Mayweather-Zambidis event will no longer proceed because uncertainty over its status “effectively stopped any promotion or distribution plans for the event and halted ticket sales.”
She said the bout against the 45-year-old Zambidis, an 18-time world champion best known for his career in K-1 MAX, could be rescheduled.
CSI sued Mayweather last week seeking to recover at least $4.65 million the company says it paid the fighter for exclusive rights to promote the planned bouts against Tyson and Pacquiao.
Mayweather, 49, retired from boxing in 2017 with a perfect 50-0 record.
He has appeared in exhibition bouts since then, but a planned exhibition late last year against former heavyweight world champion Tyson never materialized and plans for a rematch with Filipino icon Pacquiao, announced by Netflix for September, is shrouded by uncertainty.
That bout, announced for the Sphere in Las Vegas, would have rematched the fighters in the top moneyspinner in boxing history.
But it apparently foundered after Mayweather said the fight would be an exhibition while Pacquiao said he signed for an official bout against the American.
The Sphere has since booked a concert by the Eagles for September 19, the planned Pacquiao versus Mayweather date.
