Florida teacher Kirsten Rose accused of sex with student, arrested
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Florida high school math teacher was arrested after investigators say she carried on a sexual relationship with a student, a case that began when suspicious parents tracked their son to a mystery location.
Kirsten Rose, 37, a teacher at Cocoa Beach Jr./Sr. High School, was taken into custody in connection with the case, the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office said.
The investigation began in March when the parents of a male student grew suspicious that he was having an inappropriate relationship with a teacher after he came home late from work and refused to explain where he had been, according to the sheriff’s office.
When his parents checked his location, they found he had been at an unfamiliar home. The teen initially claimed he was at a girlfriend’s house, but later admitted he was in a relationship with his teacher, investigators said.

Vance’s bad week: vice-president risks becoming face of two Trump foreign policy failures | US foreign policy
Shortly before JD Vance’s ill-fated week crisscrossing the world, Donald Trump asked him during a private Easter brunch about how the Iran negotiations were shaping up. “If it doesn’t happen, I’m blaming JD Vance,” Trump said to laughs in the room. “If it does happen, I’m taking full credit.”
The joke at Vance’s expense contained an unfortunate nugget of truth: this is not an administration that rewards failure.
The odds were already against the US vice-president when he flew to Hungary one week ago to help rally for Viktor Orbán, the Maga movement’s closest ally in Europe, who was facing electoral defeat after 16 years in power. Then Vance traveled on to Islamabad, where he held last-ditch negotiations in order to reopen the strait of Hormuz and end the country’s nuclear programme, as Trump threatened to bomb the country “back to the stone ages”.
Vance went 0 for 2 in one of the most bruising weeks of his term in office.
Orbán is out in a historic landslide and negotiations have failed to end the war in Iran, leading Trump to impose his own blockade on the strait of Hormuz. Vance’s ill-fated road trip exposed severe setbacks for his Maga foreign policy – first to empower rightwing populism in Europe, and second to extract the US from its latest foreign policy intervention in the Middle East.
Along the way, Vance blew through longstanding conventions for US leaders not to interfere in allies’ elections abroad and failed to secure a landmark foreign policy achievement that could buffet his expected 2028 run for the presidency.
Among the damaging visuals were images of him on stage with Orbán, one of Europe’s most illiberal leaders, who sought to marshal support from both the US and from Russia in order to stave off a challenge from his former minister Péter Magyar, who had accused Orbán of turning Hungary into a “mafia state”.
Hungarian officials had been lobbying Trump to visit. Instead, they got Vance, whose travel during a major US conflict in Iran raised eyebrows in DC. The first time Vance sought to get Trump on the phone to address the crowd in Hungary, it went to voicemail.
On stage at an Orbán campaign rally, Vance railed against interference from European Union officials in Brussels and ended the speech by saying: “Go to the polls in the weekend, stand with Viktor Orbán, because he stands for you.”
Somehow, the people of Hungary did not heed Vance’s advice.
In a landslide victory, Peter Magyar’s Tisza party was set to win 138 seats in Hungary’s 199-seat parliament, offering a coveted two-thirds majority that would allow Hungary’s next government to reverse many of the constitutional changes passed under Orban’s rule.
It also threatens to disrupt a major hub for global conservatism, with Hungary hosting government-backed rightwing thinktanks and conventions that have attracted ultra-conservatives from the US, Russia, and elsewhere around the world.
Long before the votes were in, Vance was already off to Islamabad, where he headed a delegation with envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, and Iran’s leadership. The marathon talks, which lasted 21 hours, did not lead to a breakthrough, and Vance was left to announce frowning the “bad news” that “we did not reach an agreement, and I think that is much worse news for Iran than for the United States”.
Vance was an unlikely choice for the assignment. The vice-president is, with Tulsi Gabbard, among the most anti-war members of Trump’s cabinet and actively campaigned against a return to the “forever wars” he had fought in as a soldier in Iraq. His position heading the delegation made him the highest-ranking US official to meet with an Iranian delegation since the 1979 revolution in Iran.
Vance was said to speak with Trump regularly during the negotiations, indicating to some on the Iranian side that he was not empowered to make decisions about whether to accept Iran’s terms. And during the talks, Trump played down the chances for a deal, saying that “maybe they make a deal, maybe they don’t, it doesn’t matter. From the standpoint of America, we win.”
With the talks now in tatters, Vance risks becoming the face of two foreign policy failures in a single week. And with Trump now taking aim at Pope Leo XIV as “weak on crime” and “terrible”, Vance, a Catholic convert, may find himself ensconced in yet another international incident.

Charlie Kirk’s accused killer calls Bryan Kohberger trial consultant to testify
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The defense of Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin, Tyler Robinson, is expected to call on an expert witness who also worked for Bryan Kohberger‘s legal team at Friday’s hearing on their motion to kick news cameras out of the courtroom, according to court filings.
California-based trial consultant Bryan Edelman, who has a Ph.D. in social psychology, conducted a telephone survey for the defense and reported his findings on March 13.
“It is Dr. Edelman’s opinion that the modern internet and social media ecosystem — especially algorithmic curation and personalization — has fundamentally altered how news is consumed and makes local, high-profile publicity substantially harder to avoid for residents of the locality where the events giving rise to the case occurred and the case is being tried,” Robinson’s attorneys wrote in a filing last week.

Edelman’s testimony is expected to delve into pretrial publicity and public opinion connected to the case against Robinson, who faces the potential death penalty if convicted of aggravated murder and Kirk’s shooting death.
Robinson, 22, is accused of firing the fatal shot from a rooftop at Utah Valley University as Kirk, a 31-year-old father of two, spoke to a crowd of about 3,000 in the campus’ central courtyard.
In a summary of Edelman’s opinions filed with the court, the defense suggested that social media algorithms promote prominent local news, making it harder for potential jurors to avoid pretrial coverage of a case, including online commentary.

“Experimental research indicates that hostile or uncivil comments can affect readers’ interpretations and perceptions,” the defense wrote in the new filing. “In practical terms, the same news item may be encountered alongside inflammatory commentary that can heighten emotional response and shape impressions beyond the factual content of the reporting.”
Robinson’s lawyers, Kathryn Nester, Michael Burt, Richard Novak and Staci Visser, also argued that pretrial publicity impacts the jury pool and can increase the likelihood of guilty verdicts. Judges are often tasked with balancing the public’s right to access court proceedings and a defendant’s right to a fair trial.

Edelman also worked on a controversial juror questionnaire on behalf of Kohberger’s legal team. It included questions that Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson alleged were aimed at tainting the jury pool in that case.
Multiple people contacted for the survey called police, raising concerns about violations of a gag order meant to protect details ahead of trial.
Judge John Judge, who was presiding over Kohberger’s case at the time, called it “ironic” that the defense survey could have tainted the jury pool, rather than allegations from the prosecution.

Kohberger’s push for a change of venue out of Latah County succeeded, but he ultimately pleaded guilty in Ada County to avoid the death penalty weeks before his trial was scheduled to begin last year.
Robinson’s defense has already tried to have the Utah County Attorney’s Office disqualified from the case over an alleged conflict of interest. Judge Tony Graf Jr. denied the request.

Other high-profile cases Edelman has worked on include the murder trial of former Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke and Buffalo supermarket mass shooter Payton Gendron.
Edelman’s testimony is also expected to include topics related from a declaration he filed in Gendron’s pending federal case, demographics in Utah County, where Robinson’s trial is expected to be held, and the fairness of the jury selection process.

OpenAI rotates macOS certs after Axios attack hit code-signing workflow
OpenAI is rotating potentially exposed macOS code-signing certificates after a GitHub Actions workflow executed a malicious Axios package during a recent supply chain attack.
The company said that on March 31, 2026, the legitimate workflow downloaded and executed a compromised Axios package (version 1.14.1) that was used in attacks to deploy malware on devices.
That workflow had access to code-signing certificates used to sign OpenAI’s macOS apps, including ChatGPT Desktop, Codex, Codex CLI, and Atlas.
While OpenAI says its investigation found no evidence that the signing certificate was compromised, the company is treating it as potentially compromised out of caution and is now revoking and rotating it.
“Out of an abundance of caution we are taking steps to protect the process that certifies our macOS applications are legitimate OpenAI apps. We found no evidence that OpenAI user data was accessed, that our systems or intellectual property was compromised, or that our software was altered,” explains an OpenAI security advisory.
“We are updating our security certificates, which will require all macOS users to update their OpenAI apps to the latest versions.”
macOS users will need to update their apps to versions signed with the new certificate, as older versions may stop working on May 8, 2026.
OpenAI worked with a third-party incident response firm to conduct an investigation, which found no evidence that the incident exposed its certificates or that they were used to distribute malicious software. The company also analyzed previous notarization activity linked to the certificate and confirmed that everything signed with it was legitimate.
However, if the attacker obtained the certificate, they could use it to sign their own macOS applications that appear to be legitimately signed by OpenAI.
Therefore, to reduce the risk, OpenAI says it is working with Apple to ensure no future software can be notarized with the previous certificate.
OpenAI says that the certificate will be fully revoked on May 8, after which attempts to launch applications signed with it will be blocked by macOS protections.
OpenAI says the issue is limited to its macOS applications and does not affect its web services or apps on iOS, Android, Windows, or Linux. It also says user accounts, passwords, and API keys were not impacted.
Users are advised to update via in-app features or the official download pages, and to avoid installing software from links sent via email, ads, or third-party sites.
The company says it will continue monitoring for any signs that the old certificate is being misused and may speed up the revocation timeline if anything suspicious is detected.
The Axios supply chain attack has been linked to North Korean threat actors tracked as UNC1069, who conducted a social engineering campaign against one of the project’s maintainers.
After conducting a fake web conference call that led to the installation of malware, the threat actors gained access to the maintainer’s account and published malicious versions of the Axios package to npm.
This malicious package included a dependency that installed a remote access trojan (RAT) on macOS, Windows, and Linux systems.
According to researchers, the attackers approached developers through convincing fake collaboration setups, including Slack workspaces and Microsoft Teams calls, eventually tricking them into installing malware that led to credential theft and downstream supply chain compromises.
The activity has been linked to a larger campaign to compromise popular open-source projects for widespread supply chain attacks.

Bahrain summons Iraqi envoy as pro-Iranian attacks persist in Gulf | US-Israel war on Iran News
Move reflects regional alarm over attacks by pro-Iranian groups based in Iraq, which continue despite ceasefire.
Published On 13 Apr 2026
Bahrain has summoned an Iraqi envoy over drone attacks launched at the kingdom and other states in the region, which persist despite the US-Iran ceasefire.
The summoning of the diplomat on Monday followed similar action by Saudi Arabia the previous day, signalling growing regional concern over the activities of pro-Iranian groups based in Iraq and complicating Baghdad’s efforts to rebuild ties with its Arab neighbours.

list of 4 itemsend of listBahrain’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the “continued malicious drone attacks” launched from Iraq towards Bahrain and several Gulf Cooperation Council countries, the state news agency BNA reported.
The ministry said Abdullah bin Ali Al Khalifa, director general of bilateral relations, had delivered an official protest note during the meeting with the Iraqi charge d’affaires, Ahmed Ismail al-Karawi.
The diplomatic missive called on Baghdad to address “these threats and attacks urgently and responsibly”.
Launchpad
During the United States-Israel war on Iran, Iraq has become a staging ground for a secondary conflict as drones and missiles are launched by Iran-aligned armed groups repeatedly targeting the Gulf states and Jordan.
US interests in Iraq also have been targeted, particularly the embassy in Baghdad.
Last month, several Gulf countries and Jordan demanded in a joint statement that Baghdad act immediately to stop attacks from its territory by Iran-aligned groups.
The statement was signed by Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Baghdad has categorically rejected the use of its territory to target Gulf states or Jordan, adding that it is taking necessary measures “in accordance with the constitution and the law”.
The attacks are severely testing Iraq’s painstakingly rebuilt ties with its Arab neighbours, leading Baghdad to issue a statement in which it offered “full readiness” to receive any information or evidence regarding the attacks to address them “responsibly and swiftly”.
Iran-aligned groups in Iraq had announced their commitment to a two-week Iran-US ceasefire that has been in place since dawn on Wednesday, and said they were suspending their actions towards the Gulf countries.
However, just hours after the ceasefire was announced, several Gulf nations reported missile and drone attacks on their territories.

Dave Chappelle says he is now considering reviving ‘Chappelle’s Show’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Comedian Dave Chappelle said in a new interview that he was considering revisiting “Chappelle’s Show” decades after walking away from the hit Comedy Central series.
Chappelle, speaking about the possibility of reviving the show in an interview with the Associated Press, offered a notable shift from his past stance.
“If you’d asked me that question a year ago, I’d have told you absolutely not,” he said. “But in the last few weeks … I’m considering it.”
“Chappelle’s Show,” which premiered in 2003, became a cultural force through its satire on race, politics and American life before Chappelle abruptly quit production of its third season in 2005. In doing so, Chappelle stepped away from a Comedy Central deal to continue the show worth upwards of $50 million.

He said at the time he was suffering from creative burnout and felt others were trying to control his work. He also told Oprah Winfrey in a 2006 interview that some of his sketches were “socially irresponsible.”
Chappelle did not provide details about what a revival of “Chappelle’s Show” might look like but acknowledged that his thinking had evolved. His comments came as he reflected more broadly on the changing entertainment landscape and his own place within it.
Chappelle also pointed to how the comedy industry has shifted in the years since the show aired, noting the rise of digital platforms and a new generation of comedians shaping content in real time. He emphasized the importance of growth through experience.

“One of the worst things that can happen to a comedian is becoming successful before they get good,” Chappelle told the AP. “Because you miss the part where you get to explore and make mistakes.”
Despite criticism, Chappelle said he has remained committed to his approach to comedy.
“Your responsibility is to be true to yourself and your work,” he said, describing his philosophy toward public reaction.

Microsoft attempts to untangle Windows Insider program • The Register
Microsoft is giving the Windows Insider program another makeover in the hope of making it less baffling.
The Release Preview channel, used by Insiders to check out Windows builds that are close to broad release, will remain. The Beta channel will be overhauled, with the Dev and Canary channels ditched entirely in favor of a new Experimental channel.
As with the Dev and Canary channels, the Experimental channel is aimed at users who want to tinker with features under active development that might not make it to release. Windows Insiders who opt for the Experimental channel can also turn specific features on or off or choose the “Future Platforms” option. According to Microsoft, this “is our earliest preview build for Windows and is not aligned to a retail version of Windows.”
The other major change is the end of gradual feature rollouts in the Beta channel. When a feature is announced in a Beta update, all users will get it (assuming they take the update).
Finally, Microsoft said that, in many cases, in-place upgrades will let users move between Experimental, Beta, and Release Preview, or leave the program entirely without having to perform a clean install of Windows. However, because Experimental Future Platforms is not aligned to a retail version of Windows, reinstalling will be unavoidable in this case.
For Windows Insiders, the changes will be welcome, particularly the end of the Controlled Feature Rollout (CFR), which meant many had to wait for new features. Microsoft acknowledged user frustration, stating: “These gradual rollouts are an industry standard that help us measure impact before releasing more broadly.”
“But they also make your experience unpredictable and often mean you don’t get the new features that motivated many of you to join the Insider program to begin with.”
However, in addition to reorganizing the program, Microsoft must also pay attention to feedback from Windows Insiders themselves, not just comments on the program.
Even before Microsoft drew criticism for pushing AI features, the company often looked the other way when Insiders pointed out problems. The infamous Windows 10 October 2018 update, which deleted the files of some users, was rolled out despite negative feedback from Insiders.
However the company proceeds with the Windows Insider program, it urgently needs to rebuild trust in its operating system, not just with enthusiasts, but with ordinary customers who might not be prepared to wait to see the fruits of these changes. ®
