Police in northwest England are searching for two drivers who stole two full trailer truckloads of Guinness, an estimated 70,000 pints, sparking renewed concerns over organized theft and law enforcement priorities.

No motive for the heist has been given, and police have yet to announce any arrests or the recovery of the missing beer. The theft’s scale has…Open

Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal launched the Tribeca Film Festival just eight months after the September 11 attacks, aiming to help Lower Manhattan heal and rebuild when many feared the city would never recover.

He described returning to Lower Manhattan from a Midtown meeting, witnessing smoke pouring from the North Tower, and then watching the South Tower collapse. De Niro recalled, "I couldn't believe, I couldn't believe it. I looked to my left where I have a big television and so confirmed it on CNN." The aftermath left the downtown area blanketed in dust, with water trucks spraying the streets every few hours in an attempt to keep it…Open

President Trump might not be on the ballot, but he’s still making himself the star of the first-ever Republican midterm convention. The problem? Not a lot of Republican lawmakers, who the event is said to be for, will be in attendance. Texas Democratic Congresswoman Julie Johnson says if her GOP colleagues aren’t showing up – why would Texans go? It’s going to land “like a flat balloon here.”

Mohammad Ghalibaf, the speaker of Iran’s parliament, issued new threats to the United States on Sunday. Following the apparent crippling of three Iranian oil tankers in U.S. strikes on Saturday, Ghalibaf said his country would escalate its responses. “The era of proportionate responses has come to an end,” Ghalibaf asserted in a speech broadcast in Iran, adding that “any aggression against Iran’s interests and security will receive a faster, more intense and more painful response.” Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps also said it launched retaliatory attacks on several U.S.-affiliated ships Saturday, including what it claimed was a successful strike on a U.S. Navy drone (a Pentagon spokesman denied this).

LSU’s 51-10 thrashing of Clemson in Baton Rouge has reignited debate about whether Dabo Swinney can still deliver for the Tigers after years of declining results and costly decisions. LSU didn’t just beat Clemson on a stormy Saturday night in Baton Rouge, they steamrolled them. The 51-10 rout wasn’t close, and the box score paints an even grimmer picture for a program that once stood atop college football. Swinney’s Tigers managed just eight first downs to LSU’s 38 and a paltry 40 rushing yards. By halftime, Clemson had already switched quarterbacks. Christopher Vizzina, who started, threw for only 83 yards on 16 attempts and gave up a pick-six. Freshman Tait Reynolds relieved him, tallying just 22 passing yards and negative-nine…Open
