LOS ANGELES, United States — Meta and Google-owned YouTube were vilified Monday for “engineering addiction” as a landmark social media trial began in earnest in a California court. The blockbuster trial in front of a Los Angeles jury could establish a legal precedent on whether the social media juggernauts deliberately designed their platforms to lead to addiction in children. The proceedings are expected to see Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg on the stand next week and Instagram boss Adam Mosseri in the courtroom as early as Wednesday.

MANILA, Philippines – The state-run weather agency stated on Tuesday that it is closely monitoring several cloud clusters at the boundary of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). However, weather specialist Veronica Torres of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), in a 5 a.m. briefing, declined to elaborate on the possibility of development and direction in the coming days. Torres said the convergence of hot and cold air, or shear line, has been affecting the Visayas, Albay, Sorsogon, Masbate, and Dinagat Islands, bringing cloudy skies with scattered rain and isolated thunderstorms. Meanwhile, the Pagasa forecaster said the northeast monsoon or ‘amihan’ would prevail over Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Central Luzon, the rest of Bicol Region, and Quezon province, bringing overcast skies with light rains. The same weather system will affect Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon, bringing partly cloudy to cloudy skies and isolated light rain expected within the next 24 hours, Pagasa said. Meanwhile, parts of Mindanao will be affected by localized thunderstorms, bringing cloudy skies with isolated rain showers, it added.

WASHINGTON — Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein, declined to answer questions from House lawmakers in a deposition Monday, but indicated that if President Donald Trump ended her prison sentence, she was willing to testify that neither he nor former President Bill Clinton had done anything wrong in their connections with Epstein. The House Oversight Committee had wanted Maxwell to answer questions during a video call to the federal prison camp in Texas where she’s serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, but she invoked her Fifth Amendment rights to avoid answering questions that would be self-incriminating. She’s come under new scrutiny as lawmakers try […]... Keep on reading: Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell appeals for clemency from Trump
