A species of wolf that died out some 12,500 years ago lives again as the “world’s first successfully de-extincted animal,” according to Dallas-based biotech company Colossal Biosciences.

Colossal scientists have created three dire wolf pups by using ancient DNA, cloning and gene-editing technology to alter the genes of a gray wolf, the prehistoric dire wolf’s closest living relative, the company announced Monday. The result is essentially a hybrid species similar in appearance to its extinct forerunner.

The dire wolf, Aenocyon dirus, which was the inspiration for the fearsome canine featured in the HBO TV series “Game of Thrones,” was a top predator that once roamed North America. (HBO shares parent company Warner Bros. Discovery with CNN.) Dire wolves were larger in size than gray wolves and “had a slightly wider head, light thick fur and stronger jaw,” the company said.

The US president has claimed that Washington is holding direct negotiations with Tehran to avoid “doing the obvious”

President Donald Trump has announced that the US will engage in “very high-level talks” with Iran over its nuclear program on Saturday, warning that if the negotiations fail, the Islamic Republic will face a “very bad day.”

The US president revealed last month that he had sent a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, proposing new negotiations over the nuclear deal which the US unilaterally abandoned during Trump’s first term in 2018. He went on to threaten Iran with bombing strikes “the likes of which it has never seen” if Tehran rejects the offer.

Sitting alongside visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday, Trump stressed his preference for a diplomatic resolution.

PRESIDENT TRUMP ON IRAN: “I think if the talks aren't successful with Iran, I think Iran is going to be in great danger. And I hate to say it—great danger—because they can’t have a nuclear weapon.”

Yesterday, China issued Retaliatory Tariffs of 34%, on top of their already record setting Tariffs, Non-Monetary Tariffs, Illegal Subsidization of companies, and massive long term Currency Manipulation, despite my warning that any country that Retaliates against the U.S.

by issuing additional Tariffs, above and beyond their already existing long term Tariff abuse of our Nation, will be immediately met with new and substantially higher Tariffs, over and above those initially set. Therefore, if China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th.

Additionally, all talks with China concerning their requested meetings with us will be terminated! Negotiations with other countries, which have also requested meetings, will begin taking place immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

US President Donald Trump and his tariffs have taken a bull stock market and are on the precipice of turning it into a bear faster than any president has overseen in modern history.

If the stock market closes in bear territory – a drop of 20% from a recent peak – it would be the earliest in a new administration a bull market has turned into a bear in the history of the S&P 500, which dates back to 1957.

These same tariffs may also take a booming economy and turn it into a recession.

Goldman Sachs is the latest Wall Street bank to warn that US President Donald Trump’s trade war could crash the US economy into a damaging recession.

As financial markets plunged, Goldman Sachs economists delivered a report to clients titled “Countdown to Recession” that slashed their 2025 GDP forecast to 0.5% and raised their 12-month recession probability from 35% to 45%.

The investment bank cited the “sharp tightening in financial conditions, foreign consumer boycotts, and a continued spike in policy uncertainty that is likely to depress capital spending by more than we had previously assumed.”

“Such an act will have severe consequences for them,” the senior Iranian official told Reuters, adding that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had placed the country’s armed forces on high alert.

In a warning that underscores the region’s mounting volatility, Iran has cautioned its Gulf neighbors that any involvement in a potential U.S. military strike—whether direct or indirect—will be considered an act of hostility and met with severe consequences.

The message, delivered amid a deepening standoff between Washington and Tehran over Iran’s nuclear program, was reported by Reuters citing a senior Iranian official.

According to the report by Reuters, the Iranian government has issued formal warnings to Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Turkey, and Bahrain, stating that the use of their airspace or territory by American forces for any potential strike on Iran would provoke retaliation.

The demonstrators have demanded an end to “rampant corruption” and sweeping federal cuts

Thousands of Americans have taken to the streets across the country to protest against the economic and social policies of US President Donald Trump and his close ally Elon Musk. The organizers claim Trump’s “power grab” has plunged the country into a full-blown crisis.

The march, dubbed ‘Hands Off!’ and organized by more than 150 different activist groups, took place on Saturday and spanned all 50 of the United States in more than 1,200 locations, with some rallies taking place beyond the US.

The demonstrators railed at what they described as an “illegal power grab” and “coup” by Trump and Musk, the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), who initiated thousands of state sector layoffs in a bid to balance the US federal budget.

The FDA has granted fast track designation to an mRNA vaccine candidate from Sanofi for the prevention of chlamydia infection. The designation is aimed to address the unmet public health need caused by the bacterial infection.

According to the CDC, chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis

that can trigger infection among men and women who are sexually active.

Although chlamydia usually does not present symptoms, it can cause severe health issues even without symptoms. This includes permanent damage to a woman’s reproductive system and potentially fatal ectopic pregnancy. Asymptomatic individuals are often left untreated, which could lead to unintentional transmission.

BREAKING NEWS: The FDA deliberately blocked early safety data that showed the mRNA injections caused Myocarditis, Blood Clotting and reactivation of latent DNA viruses such Shingles, Epstein-Barr virus and other things. The FDA made it so no one could have true informed consent. pic.twitter.com/XUIXCoSInI

Stargazers may soon get a rare, celestial treat.

A star system 3,000 lightyears away is ready to go nova — and when it blows, it will be visible from Earth.

T Coronae Borealis, a.k.a. Blaze Star, only explodes once every 80 years, appearing as a new star in the night sky for around a week.

The hydrogen from the red giant builds up around its partner, accumulating pressure and heat like air in a balloon — only when this balloon pops, it creates a thermonuclear explosion that can be seen across the galaxy.

Out in space, the Blaze Star will shine thousands of times its original brightness, but to Earthlings it will appear as a new star in the sky about as bright as the North Star, known as Polaris.

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event that will create a lot of new astronomers out there,” said NASA astronomer Dr. Rebekah Hounsell. “It’s incredibly exciting to have this front-row seat.”
