Following the 2023 scandal that rocked FOX News, there has been speculation as to what the future holds for the news network.

In October 2023, internal emails leaked revealing sexual misconduct allegations against top executives. The fallout resulted in the suspension of several employees and the resignation of the company's president.

Many are now wondering if the scandal has irreversibly damaged the network's reputation and if they will be able to recover. While FOX News has a strong base of loyal viewers, the scandal has undoubtedly caused damage to its credibility and opened the door for competitors to gain ground.

In an effort to regain trust with viewers, the network has implemented new policies and procedures aimed at ensuring a safe and respectful workplace culture.

However, the question remains whether these steps will be enough to repair the damage done by the scandal. Some industry experts predict that viewers may turn to alternative news sources, while others believe that FOX News will emerge stronger as a result of the crisis.

Only time will tell what is in store for the news giant, but for now, all attention is on the network's actions and decisions moving forward.

The National Weather Service has declared the Little Rock tornado a strong EF3 with winds of 165 miles per hour; no missing people were reported, but four people were confirmed dead in the tornado that hit Wynne, Arkansas. The storm destroyed the Wynne High School, and at least 26 people were admitted to hospitals for storm-related injuries. Some were transferred to nearby hospitals, and injuries ranged from critical to non-critical. Pulaski County is working with the state and federal agencies to clean up, and emergency housing plans are being made. At present, utilities, specifically dealing with downed power lines on roads, remain a top priority. As the office of Emergency Management conducts secondary search today, there is no indication of whether any additional persons will be found. Meanwhile, social media posts of residents in the region have shown the immense destruction caused by the tornado; houses were leveled, cars were flipped, and some people were trapped inside their homes. It remains to be seen how the affected area will recover from the tragedy.

As former President Donald J. Trump prepares to face criminal charges in Manhattan, the New York police department is getting ready to safeguard the courthouse in Lower Manhattan and brace itself for peaceful protests from people with different political views. Mr. Trump is expected to enter the grimy building under protection by Secret Service agents to answer charges before a state judge on Tuesday. Reporters and camera crews have been camping outside the courthouse, and court officers will be monitoring the situation on the street.

While Mr. Trump has no plan to address the public or hold a news conference during his stay in New York, he recently published some headlines on his social media platform, Truth Social, claiming the charges against him are politically motivated election interference. Meanwhile, Joe Tacopina, one of Trump's lawyers, stated in a TV interview that the former president has refused to take a plea deal and intends to go to trial. Bernard Tolbert, a former supervisory special agent at the FBI, thinks that NYPD, led by Secret Service personnel, will work closely with other agencies and coordinate to ensure Trump's protection and safety during the arraignment.

The recent mass shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville, which left six people dead, has once again raised questions about school safety. Experts advise that more resources should be devoted to educating and training students and school staff on recognizing and responding to threats. In addition, experts point to a 2016 school safety technology report from Johns Hopkins University that found there is insufficient evidence to show devices such as weapons detectors, high-tech alarms, and sensors helped curb mass shootings. "There is no universal school safety solution - no one technology will solve all school safety and security issues," the researchers wrote. "The sheer number of schools and school districts across the country - with different geography, funding, building construction and layout, demographics, and priorities - make each one different." Moreover, the limited time, energy, and budget to deal with school safety issues should be used effectively in evidence-based solutions. School leaders should carefully invest time and resources to ensure improved safety, understanding that no system is perfect. Experienced staff members equipped with training are the most valuable assets schools have when it comes to improving school safety.

Cindy Peak, a substitute teacher who was killed during the shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville, was remembered as a devoted mother, wife, and teacher who invested her life fully in the encouragement of others. Peak was one of six people killed during the shooting at the private Christian school, which was carried out by a former student of the school. The other victims were school head Katherine Koonce, school custodian Mike Hill, and three students - Hallie Scruggs, William Kinney, and Evelyn Dieckhaus, all aged nine. A service was held at Christ Presbyterian Church to celebrate Peak's life, with photos of special moments with her children, decorating the church. Peak's husband referred to her as a hero and also shared how much she loved her children. The incident has fueled discussions on gun control measures in the state, as thousands of people recently protested at the State Capitol in Nashville to demand gun control measures after the shooting. The protests were likened to an insurrection by state Speaker of the House Cameron Sexton.

Evidence surfaced that Disney entered agreements with the previous Reedy Creek board, giving themselves maximum developmental power right before the state of Florida took over the special taxing district. On February 8th, before a legislative session that saw the district fall under Governor Ron DeSantis’ control, the Reedy Creek board's president brought up the first item of two that would essentially give Disney massive control over property development, while taking away the special district’s power. No members of the public responded and only a few journalists were present, so this significant move was probably not grasped by anyone who attended the public hearing.

While Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom praised Disney, the national attention on DeSantis is described as “over-hype”. Although, DeSantis' attorney has demanded emails and texts regarding Disney's underhanded maneuvering with former special district members. DeSantis’ spokesperson Taryn Fenske argues that these brokered agreements may have significant legal implications and would subsequently void the contracts as a matter of law. Newsom believes that DeSantis is sure to retaliate, but ultimately he feels the maneuver hurt DeSantis politically since he's already been slipping in the polls regarding the Republican nomination for president in 2024, and he cannot fall lower.

The Northeastern United States is bracing for severe weather as a significant storm system moves eastward after causing deaths and widespread destruction in the South and Midwest regions. This storm system has already caused a death in Sussex County, Delaware, due to a confirmed tornado that tracked eastwards over the state on Saturday evening. Dozens of others were injured and significant property damage occurred. There were also reports of downed trees and wires in the area. Widespread residential damage was reported across the county's western part. Eastwards, there is a severe thunderstorm watch for New York City and areas of northern New Jersey, western Connecticut, and western Massachusetts through Saturday night. Strong winds gusts up to 65 mph, sizable hail up to 1 inch in diameter, and even a tornado or two are possible. Additionally, tornado warnings were issued for areas north and south of Philadelphia on Saturday evening. As the monster storm moves into the region, Pennsylvania, New York, and northern New Jersey will likely experience severe weather with this storm. South Dakota and Minnesota are expected to experience the wintry part of the storm; they have been issued blizzard warnings by the National Weather Service.

Russia has assumed the presidency of the UN Security Council for the month of April, prompting outrage from Western countries and Ukraine. Moscow's tenure as the rotating presidency is considered a "symbolic blow" to the rules-based system of international relations, according to Andriy Yermak, the Ukrainian president's chief of staff. The last time Russia held the presidency in February 2022, the country invaded Ukraine, leading Kyiv to call for Russia's removal from the Council. Despite calls from Ukraine to block Russia's presidency, the US said it could not do so as it is a permanent Council member. While Russia will not have much influence on decisions, it will be responsible for the agenda. Moscow has planned several debates during its tenure as president, including one on arms control and another on the Middle East. With ties between Russia and the West at their lowest point since the Cold War, Russia's presidency of the Security Council may add fuel to tensions between the two sides.

Former President Donald Trump's supporters rallied outside his Mar-a-Lago resort and Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach on Saturday, a day after announcing his indictment over hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. The former president traveled to his golf course at Summit Boulevard, where supporters gathered with signs and flags. The indictment has not been unsealed, and Trump has planned to surrender to authorities in New York City on Tuesday. Despite the indictment, his supporters believe this is not a fair justice and that the charges are targeted towards the 2024 presidential candidate. Lori Bella outside Mar-a-Lago said, "If anything's going on and he asks for it, we show up and I'm sure that this is going on across the country not just here." Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, have avoided the issue in recent weeks, and Melania Trump plans to lay low and stay out of the media spotlight.

A federal judge has temporarily blocked Tennessee's first-in-the-nation law that places strict limits on drag shows, siding with Friends of George's, an LGBTQ+ theater company, that filed a lawsuit claiming the law violates the First Amendment. The decision comes after the state law criminalized drag shows that take place in public or can be seen by children. U.S. District Judge Thomas Parker granted a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of the law for two weeks. Parker found that the law was "likely both vague and overly-broad" as the law’s definition of "adult cabaret" now includes "male or female impersonators." The law had also prohibited an array of adult-oriented performances "that are harmful to minors" from being staged on public property or anywhere minors could attend. Parker noted that the law's broad language clashes with the First Amendment's tight constraints, questioning its location specifications of a cabaret entertainment venue that might be viewed by a minor. The temporary restraining order represents an "extraordinary remedy," yet Parker states that if Tennessee wants to restrict speech it considers obscene, it must do it so within the constraints and framework of the United States Constitution.

At least four people were killed as a result of a tornado that struck Wynne, Arkansas, on Friday night, with 26 injured individuals requiring medical attention at Cross Ridge Community Hospital. The storm damaged the Wynne High School and nearby businesses, as well as injuring occupants of several homes in the area. Communities are rallying around those affected by the sudden disaster, with the Cross County School District urging community members to offer support in whatever way possible. The tornado occurred in the midst of a series of unrelenting twisters that devastated the South and Midwest, the strongest of which received a rating of EF-3 from the National Weather Service (NWS), with winds up to 165 mph. The NWS noted that their storm survey was ongoing and could take several days. Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders declared a state of emergency, and thousands of workers are presently assessing and repairing impacted areas. Entergy Arkansas reported sending 3,300 workers to evaluate storm damage to the electrical grid.

A roof collapse during a sold-out concert at the historic Apollo Theatre in Belvidere, Illinois has left one person dead and injured 28 others, with five still in critical condition. The tragedy occurred while around 260 people were inside to see metal bands Morbid Angel, Revocation and Skeletal Remains, with an apparent tornado having been caught on camera nearby. It was later confirmed by the National Weather Service that the collapse was caused by an EF-1 tornado that had touched down in the area, with Boone County authorities saying “a man lost his life, response was in minutes”. The building, which dates back to 1921, was condemned following the incident, with officials awaiting final determination from structural engineers. The owner of the theatre expressed devastation at the loss of life and subsequent injuries. The family of the deceased, 51-year-old Fred Livingston, Jr. have said they are still trying to come to terms with the tragedy.

Newly uncovered documents and videos show that Disney acted fast to sneak out power from the former Reedy Creek board before the state of Florida took over the special taxing district. On February 8th, during a public meeting of the board of supervisors, the first of two agenda items that would ultimately give Disney enormous control over the future development of its resort property while stripping away the special district's future power was discussed. Less than one minute later, the board unanimously approved the agreement that gives Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts more control over how it develops its property. However, no one realized the significance of the board's move, based on limited comments made during the public hearing.

A month earlier, Disney and its former board signed agreements that gave Disney the ability to build high-density projects or buildings of any height and to sell or assign development rights, without board approval. The agreement also included a Royal Lives Clause that extends the life of the agreement. This basically hands Disney the power to hold on to the land for the next 100 years if one of King Charles III's grandchildren lives to be 80. To add salt to the injury, the agreement also bans DeSantis' new board from using Disney's name or any of its characters.

A federal judge has temporarily blocked a controversial new Tennessee law that would prohibit public drag shows throughout the state, hours before it was set to take effect. Gov. Bill Lee had signed the legislation last month, sparking outrage from LGBTQ+ advocates across the US. The law defines drag performers as "adult cabaret performers," which would mean adult-oriented entertainment prohibitions would apply to drag performances. It’s part of a push by Republican lawmakers to restrict the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. A student protest and drag show at East Tennessee State University, scheduled on Wednesday before the law was set to take effect Thursday, drew a crowd of more than 800 people. A judge issued a temporary injunction following a lawsuit filed by an LGBTQ+ theater group, Friends of George's. The judge said state officials had failed to provide a convincing argument on why the law was necessary in Tennessee.

The body of 2-year-old Taylen Mosley was found in the mouth of an alligator near Dell Holmes Park in St. Petersburg, Florida, on Friday after he had been missing since his mother was found dead from multiple stab wounds in her apartment the previous day. A police officer shot and killed the alligator to retrieve the boy's body. Taylen's father, Thomas Mosley, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, in the deaths of Taylen and his mother, Pashun Jeffrey. Jeffrey's family said she had just moved to a better apartment and was excited to start a new chapter in her life with her son. Mosley was identified as a person of interest by the police, who found him in the hospital the day after Jeffrey's body was discovered with severe cuts on his arms. Funeral arrangements for the toddler and his mother are underway, according to a GoFundMe page set up by Taylen's maternal family. The police investigation is ongoing, and no information about Taylen's cause of death has been released.

During Major League Baseball's opening day, Washington Nationals Park in Washington D.C. was still promoting Terra—the crypto ecosystem that collapsed in May 2022, sending the wider industry into a tailspin. The Nationals signed a five-year deal worth $40 million with Terra in February 2022. An exclusive Terra Club opened behind home plate as a luxury field-level space for fans willing to pay $290 or more per ticket. Terra's UST stablecoin lost its U.S. dollar peg last May and cratered in value, investors losing tens of billions of dollars in the rapid implosion, which in turn tanked crypto prices across the market. Terra's branded seats still appeared behind home plate over a year after the collapse, and Terra also still has a large sign along the outfield wall, as clearly seen in an official MLB highlights video taken on opening day.

Even shortly after Terra's collapse in 2022, the Nationals continued promoting Terra—including sharing a "Crypto 101" video presented by Terra posted on the team's official Twitter account on May 10th, 2022. Decrypt reached out to the Washington Nationals for comment but did not receive an immediate response. Terra's founder Do Kwon was arrested in Montenegro earlier this month after months on the run from authorities.

As John Cena prepares to make his long-awaited return to WrestleMania in a match against rising star Austin Theory, reports have emerged that several WWE superstars lobbied to be his opponent. Among those in the mix were Logan Paul and even Cody Rhodes, who some insiders thought would be a significant choice given the importance of the event. However, as it eventually transpired, Rhodes had bigger plans. Having won the men's Royal Rumble earlier this year, Rhodes will face Roman Reigns for the undisputed WWE Universal Championship on Night 2 of WrestleMania, a match that takes on even greater significance given Reign's 900-day reign as champion.

In the end, it was Theory who emerged as Cena's opponent, a choice that was backed by many insiders given his fast-rising status and how his skill set has drawn comparisons with a youthful Cena. The Cena-Theory bout will kick off Night 1 of the two-night event, which will be streamed live on Peacock, and where fans can look forward to a host of other matches and the climax of WWE's biggest storylines.

Becky Lynch, one-half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, recently spoke about her WrestleMania plans on "The Tommy Tiernan Show." Lynch said that she will be participating in a six-woman match on night one and expressed her desire to defend her tag team championship with Hall of Famer Lita on night two. Lynch has been in the wrestling business for over 21 years and believes she still has a few more years left in her.

Lynch and Lita won the tag team championship by defeating Dakota Kai and IYO SKY in late February. At WrestleMania 39, the duo will team up with Trish Stratus to face Damage CTRL consisting of Bayley, Dakota Kai, and IYO SKY.

While there were previous plans for Lynch and her partner Lita to defend their tag team championship against Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler, those plans were scrapped. It remains to be seen if the winners of the Fatal Four-way Women's Tag Showcase, which involves Rousey and Baszler, will challenge Lynch and Lita for the tag team championship on night two of WrestleMania 39.

Michigan public service commission approved a $10.8 million rate hike for Upper Peninsula Power Company. However, regulators ordered all utilities to pay their customers who undergo substantial power outages expenses. Specifically, the outage credit claimed by eligible clients is $35. Furthermore, new rules and technical standards have been implemented on utilities to improve reliability after power outages in late February and early March affecting over a million DTE Energy Co., and Customers Energy Co. users. Eligible customer expense reimbursement would automatically credit $35 per day, and regulatory requirements would also cover the ongoing outages starting on the implementation date. Notably, payment conditions split into catastrophic conditions affecting above 10% of the utility services users for 96 hours, gray conditions impacting 1% to 10% of the utility services customers for 48 hours, and normal conditions lasting 16 hours. Regulators also mandated the creation of metrics' web pages to measure the length and frequency of outages by regulated utilities, updated reliability standards, and annual reporting on service quality and reliability performance by rural electric cooperatives and all major utility firms.

Houston's NRG Stadium has hosted two men's Final Four tournaments since 2016, both of which included moments that are sure to be remembered in college basketball history. Villanova's Kris Jenkins hit a buzzer-beating three to win the 2016 championship game and send fans into a frenzy. Over the weekend, San Diego State's Lamont Butler repeated the feat, hitting a mid-range jumper at the last second to send his team to their first-ever national title game. While the moment may not carry the same weight as Jenkins' shot, it was a memorable occasion that saw Aztecs fans, including the Show Grandmas, celebrating with passion. The Clover Lounge also hosted an SDSU basketball reunion that brought together players and coaches from over four decades, including former head coach Steve Fisher. The group reveled in the family and culture that have been fostered within the San Diego State program. As the Final Four comes to a close, it begs the question: is NRG Stadium the home of the epic college basketball moment?

Only five games remain in the regular Liga MX season, and Club America is set to host Club Leon at the Estadio Azteca. Both teams come into the match with a great need for a win to secure their spot in the top four and head into the final weeks with momentum. Club America heads into the game with two consecutive wins behind them, including a commanding 4-2 victory over their main rival Guadalajara. On the other hand, Club Leon did not have a dominating game last week, but they managed a win against the bottom-placed team, Mazatlan. The last time these two teams met in the Apertura 2022, Leon defeated America 3-2, leaving a potential opening for revenge.

However, playing at the Estadio Azteca gives America an advantage, making it a challenging home game for Club Leon. They will need to return to their backline of five to give their strong defense the best chance to hold back the Aguila offense, as this has previously proved successful for teams who have beaten or drawn against America. If Leon's defense can manage this backline, they may be able to leave Mexico City with at least a point. It's set to be a tense match between two strong Liga MX teams that are hungry for victory.

In a thrilling six-woman tag team match, Becky Lynch, Lita, and Trish Stratus took on Damage CTRL on the first night of WrestleMania 39. Despite an early battering of former world champion Lynch, Lita was able to regain some momentum for their team, only to be singled out by their opponents. Nonetheless, Trish Stratus managed to clean house with multiple strikes and a headscissors takedown of Bayley and Dakota Kai. With help from Lynch and Lita, Stratus was able to hit a Stratosphere, taking out all of Damage CTRL.

Lynch and Bayley eventually became the legal competitors, but Lita became a wrecking ball as she hit a Twist of Fate and a Litasault on Kai and SKY, allowing Lynch to hit a second rope Man-handle Slam on Bayley, winning the match. While the trio made for an entertaining team-up, Lynch's dominance and power proved too much for her opponents in the end. The WWE Women's Tag Team Titles were not defended, leading to questions about what WWE has planned for the titles going forward.

The global market for A type streptococcus rapid test kits is expected to witness substantial growth in the next decade. The demand for rapid test kits is driven by the increasing prevalence of A type streptococcus bacterial infections, rising treatment costs, and technological advancements in diagnostic and testing procedures. With an estimated 300 million cases of the disease reported annually, A type streptococcus is one of the most common bacterial infections worldwide. The high cost of treatment for the disease leads to increasing demand for more cost-effective rapid test kits. Technological advancements in diagnostic and testing procedures have led to a rise in demand for easy-to-use and accurate rapid test kits, which provide results in a short period of time. Growing awareness about the disease and its symptoms is also fueling market growth. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are critical in the management of A type streptococcus bacterial infections. As demand for rapid test kits increases, manufacturers and key players in the healthcare and biotech industries are likely to seize opportunities to expand their portfolios and market presence.
