The soaring value of copper has sparked a series of thefts that threaten the future of EVs
Shortly before midnight on a Friday two weeks ago, a man in a black hoodie and shorts emerged from the trees near a roadside pub in Chelmsford, Essex, brandishing a pair of garden shears.
One by one, he cut the cables attached to four electric car charging stations before disappearing back into the darkness.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Prime Minister Mark Carney’s team arrived in Washington this week with high hopes for a trade breakthrough, but even with Dominic LeBlanc, the minister responsible for Canada-U.S. trade, still in talks late into the week before heading home on Friday, Canada’s bid for tariff relief appears to remain out of reach. So why is Washington insistent on a tariff-laden trade framework?
A Chicago woman shot multiple times by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents was recently indicted by a grand jury on federal charges of impeding a federal officer with a deadly weapon.
Prosecutors allege Marimar Martinez, 30, rammed the vehicle of federal agents with her own before they shot her, which they say was an act of self-defense. They also claim Martinez was armed.
Martinez’s lawyer, Christopher Parente, said footage from one of the agent’s body-worn cameras contradicted that account, and Martinez will plead not guilty at an arraignment scheduled in the coming days.

The truck driver caught in Oklahoma with a New York State commercial driver’s license without a first name was identified as an Indian migrant who illegally entered the country in 2023.
ICE agents arrested Anmol Anmol after he was stopped by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol during a routine inspection at a truck scale off I-40 last month, the Department of Homeland Security said Friday.
Anmol handed over his legitimate New York-issued driver’s license, which had the words “No Name Given” in place of his first and middle monikers.
Between 2021 and 2024, the United States had the highest level of immigration in its history.
That was the conclusion of a New York Times analysis published in late 2024. It estimated that over the four years of President Joe Biden’s administration, about eight million people had immigrated. This movement of people, powered by asylum claimants crossing the Mexican border, represented, said the Times, “a faster pace of arrivals than during any other period on record, including the peak years of Ellis Island, when millions of Europeans came to the United States.”
“Even after taking into account today’s larger U.S. population, the recent surge is the most rapid since at least 1850.”

While it's not recommended as regular food, it's a safe option as occasional treat.pic.twitter.com/QS5vnnFAj8

The disparity in police-reported violent crime between Canada and the United States has decreased in recent years, largely due to an uptick in major assaults recorded north of the border.
A Statistics Canada study examining crime trends from 1998 to 2023 found that the incidence of police-reported violent crimes for every 100,000 residents remains higher in the United States than in Canada. However, the violent crime rate is rising at a much quicker pace in Canada.

The Liberal government will begin rolling out a long-awaited automatic tax filing system for low- income Canadians and make the national school food program permanent in advance of a federal budget that the prime minister is promising will lay the groundwork to support the country’s most vulnerable citizens.
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the measures at a news conference Friday in his home riding of Nepean, Ont., where he also promised to extend the Canada Strong Pass over the holiday season and the summer of 2026.
“In the budget, we will have to make responsible and pragmatic choices, and, yes, difficult decisions,” Carney said.
He spends then talks about cutting spending.
