Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has named John Scott to temporarily serve as the state’s attorney general AUSTIN, Texas -- Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday picked a longtime ally who oversaw Texas' elections in 2022 to temporarily serve as attorney general following Republican Ken Paxton's historic impeachment on allegations of misconduct and crimes.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has appointed a judge to oversee an inquiry into allegations that the country supplied arms to Russia on a ship that docked secretly at a naval base in December CAPE TOWN, South Africa -- South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has appointed a judge to oversee an inquiry into allegations that the country supplied arms to Russia on a ship that docked secretly at a naval base in December.

Ambassador Reuben Brigety indicated that the U.S. had intelligence to sustain the allegation and he said he would bet his life on the accuracy of his claim that weapons were loaded onto the ship. The Lady R container-carrying ship is under U.S. sanctions for being tied to a company that h...

The track project was originally conceived in 2007 and by 2019 was ready to host a small MotoGP test ahead of a full motorcycle grand prix the following season as part of a five-year contract with promoter Dorna Sports. But the first two attempts at running the event were lost to the COVID-19 pandemic and any plans to run the race behind closed doors was hurt by incomplete construction of the paddock and access roads. Then the Russia-Ukraine conflict put paid to its revival in time for 2022 due to a breakdown in supply chains and Finland declaring its intention to join NATO. With the circuit unable to be homologated in time, the KymiRing's MotoGP debut was pushed to this year. But ongoing financial problems mean the developer has since been placed into administration. However, Bottas says he has held initial discussions with the circuit chiefs to see if the project can be revived, with the venue built to FIA Grade One standard to make it potentially able to host F1 race...

Toto Wolff says Mercedes have not been able to get their Formula 1 car in the set-up "sweet spot" since the Australian Grand Prix. Mercedes have struggled with their W14 car concept, admitting in Bahrain that the zero sidepod approach was wrong and committed to an effective B-spec of the car, although this was already in development before Wolff announced the change after Qualifying in Sakhir. They were due to bring the huge upgrade to Imola for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, but with that race's cancellation, it is likely to now wait until the Spanish Grand Prix in two weeks rather than Monaco next time out. In Australia, George Russell and Lewis Hamilton qualified second and third with Hamilton finishing in second in their best showing of the year, while in Azerbaijan and Miami, both Ferrari and Aston Martin have looked the main opposition to Red Bull. And Wolff says the team have yet to replicate the "sweet spot" they found in Melbourne. ...

Senators from both major parties sharply criticized the Silicon Valley Bank CEO in a hearing on Tuesday. Senators from both parties slammed former Silicon Valley Bank CEO Greg Becker at a hearing on Tuesday, accusing him of mismanagement that they say was fueled by short-term profits and the millions he stood to gain in compensation. In a particularly heated exchange, Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., excoriated Becker over the bank's failure to protect itself against the vulnerability of large holdings in Treasury and mortgage bonds. As the Fed aggressively raised interest rates over the past year, the spike dropped the value of those bonds and punched a hole in the bank's balance sheet. "Mr. Becker, you made a really stupid bet that went bad," Kennedy said. "You had all of your eggs in one basket." In response, Becker cited an "unprecedented" bank run driven by depositor panic on social media that spurred the withdrawal of about $42 billion in a matte...
