In recent months, Google has raced to resolve a backlog of lawsuits ahead of major antitrust fights with the Justice Department later this year.The company settled its fourth case in four months on Monday, agreeing to delete billions of data records compiled on millions of Chrome browser users, according to a legal document. The lawsuit, Chasom Brown, et al. v. Google, said the company deceived users by tracking their online activity in Chrome's incognito mode, which they believed would be private.Since December, Google has spent well over $1 billion settling lawsuits as it prepares to fight the Justice Department, which has targeted Google's search engine and its advertising business in a pair of lawsuits.In December, Google settled a lawsuit with dozens of attorneys general cl...

At least three senior commanders and four officers overseeing Iran's covert operations in the Middle East were killed Monday when Israeli warplanes struck a building in Damascus that is part of the Iranian embassy compound, according to Iranian and Syrian officials.The attack on Damascus, the Syrian capital, appears to be among the deadliest attacks in a years-long shadow war between Israel and Iran that has included the assassination of Iranian military leaders and nuclear scientists.That secret war has become public as tensions between the countries have escalated over Israel's military campaign in the Gaza Strip against Hamas, the Iran-backed militia that led the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.Four Israeli officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence ...

At least one person in Texas has been diagnosed with bird flu after coming into contact with presumably infected dairy cows, state officials said Monday.The announcement adds a worrying dimension to an epidemic that has affected millions of birds and marine mammals around the world and, more recently, cows in the United States.So far, there are no signs that the virus has evolved in ways that would help it spread more easily among people, federal officials said.The patient worked directly with sick dairy cows, said Lara M. Anton, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of State Health Services. “We have tested about a dozen symptomatic people who work on dairies and only one person tested positive” for the virus, she said in an email.The patient's main symptom was conjunctivitis; the ...

President Mike Johnson has begun publicly outlining potential conditions for extending a new round of American military assistance to Ukraine, the strongest indication yet that he intends to push through the House a package that many Republicans view as toxic and have tried to block.Its conditions could include tying aid for Kiev to a measure that would force President Biden to lift a moratorium on new permits for liquefied natural gas export facilities, something Republicans would see as a political victory against the climate agenda of the Democratic president. The move would also give Johnson a powerful parochial victory, unlocking a proposed export terminal in his home state of Louisiana that would be located along a shipping channel connecting the Gulf of Mexico to Lake Charles.“When...

Secret Chinese accounts are masquerading online as American supporters of former President Donald J. Trump, promoting conspiracy theories, stoking internal divisions and attacking President Biden ahead of the November election, according to researchers and government officials.The reports signal a potential tactical shift in how Beijing aims to influence American politics, with a greater willingness to target specific candidates and parties, including Biden.Echoing Russia's influence campaign before the 2016 election, China appears to be seeking to exploit partisan divisions to undermine the Biden administration's policies, despite the two countries' recent efforts to lower the temperature in their relations.Some Chinese accounts pose as fervent Trump fans, including one on Th...

The only Catholic church in the Gaza Strip held sombre Easter celebrations on Sunday for hundreds of displaced Palestinian Christians who have taken refuge in its compound since the war began nearly six months ago.The Church of the Holy Family is located in Gaza City in the northern part of the Strip, an area that has suffered some of the heaviest Israeli bombardment since October and where the global watchdog on food security says a large-scale famine is imminent.The families who have taken refuge in the church have been "scrabbling to survive" for months with limited food and "almost non-existent" medical supplies - the same as all Palestinians in northern Gaza, including Muslims celebrating the holy month of Ramadan, he said. said Father Davide Meli, chancellor of the Latin Patriarchate...

Fixes and workarounds have alleviated some challenges, but vendors are still unable to collect billions of dollars in payments. Many smaller hospitals and medical practices are still struggling t...
