Trump Reinstates Iran Blockade, Then Drops The Shipping Fee

HAVANA - Cuba’s power grid failed for the third time in less than 10 days Tuesday, cutting electricity across the island again and deepening a crisis already driven by fuel shortages. The state power company said the national grid went offline at about 11:05 a.m. It was the fifth complete blackout this year. Officials did not immediately say why. Residents, meanwhile, are left counting spoiled food and waiting for the lights to come back.

GAZA CITY - An Israeli air strike hit a Hamas-run police post in northern Gaza on Tuesday, killing at least seven people, including a senior officer, Gaza health and police officials said. Witnesses told the BBC the drone fired four missiles near a busy market in Jabalia. Israel said it targeted terrorists. The cease-fire is fraying, and the strikes keep coming.

BRUSSELS - Six bodies were found in an elevator after a fire broke out Tuesday morning at the Oxy building in central Brussels, according to The New York Times. Officials have not said what caused the fire or how the people died. The building sits in the city center, where investigators were still working Tuesday.

BIDDEFORD - An ICE agent fatally shot 26-year-old Colombian national Joan Sebastian Guerrero during an enforcement operation Monday morning, and the agency is now under fresh scrutiny. Security video captured the sound of five gunshots, then showed Guerrero's white sedan rolling in circles before agents pulled him out. The Trump administration has since ordered ICE to halt most traffic stops. The questions are piling up fast.

WASHINGTON - The House voted 308 to 117 on Tuesday to make daylight saving time permanent, sending a Trump-backed bill to the Senate and putting the twice-yearly clock change on shaky ground.

The Sunshine Protection Act would keep the country on the spring-forward schedule year-round. Supporters say it would spare Americans the ritual of resetting every clock in the house. Critics say winter mornings would get darker, which is not exactly a selling point.

WASHINGTON - Darline Graham Nordone was sworn into the Senate on Tuesday, filling the seat left vacant by her brother, Lindsey Graham, who died over the weekend at 71. Sen. Chuck Grassley administered the oath as colleagues from both parties looked on. Nordone becomes the first woman to represent South Carolina in the chamber. She will serve until January, while Republicans sort out the special election for the ballot spot.

WASHINGTON - Immigration and Customs Enforcement has ordered agents to suspend most vehicle stops nationwide after two deadly shootings involving the agency in Texas and Maine, multiple law enforcement sources told CBS News. The temporary change leaves stops in place only for serious criminal targets while ICE gives officers more training on vehicle-stop tactics. Vehicle stops have been a standard enforcement tool. Not this week.

NEW YORK - A group of publishers sued Google on Tuesday, accusing it of secretly copying millions of books to train Gemini and then generating text that competes with the original authors. The suit, filed in New York by Hachette Book Group, Cengage Learning, Elsevier and author Scott Turow, seeks class action status, an injunction and damages. Google has not responded publicly yet. The legal bill for AI training keeps getting longer.

OAKLAND - California and 11 other states asked a federal judge to block Paramount Skydance’s $111 billion bid for Warner Bros. Discovery while they pursue an antitrust case. The motion seeks a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction by July 22, before Paramount says it plans to close. The states say the merger would squeeze competition in film and cable. Paramount calls the lawsuit fundamentally flawed and says it will fight.

ARLINGTON - Spain smothered France 2-0 on Tuesday to reach the World Cup final, with Mikel Oyarzabal scoring from the penalty spot in the 22nd minute and Pedro Porro adding a second after the break.

France never really found a way in. Spain controlled the game, limited Kylian Mbappé to scraps and kept its sixth clean sheet of the tournament. The winner will face England or Argentina on Sunday in New Jersey.

PHILADELPHIA - Jordan Walker spoiled the home crowd Monday night, hitting six straight homers in the final round to beat Kyle Schwarber 12-11 and win the Home Run Derby. The Cardinals outfielder, 24, became the first St. Louis player to take the title. Phillies fans booed him all the way through Citizens Bank Park, which only seemed to help. Walker also walked away with $1 million.

INDIANAPOLIS - Caitlin Clark's return to the Indiana Fever lineup keeps pulling numbers with it. The Fever's July 8 game at the Los Angeles Sparks drew 1.04 million viewers on USA Sports, the network's most-watched WNBA game on record.

Clark played through a minutes restriction and still helped Indiana beat Las Vegas 109-75 in her next outing. The Fever are 14-9 and host the 17-7 Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday. Clark is expected back for that one, because of course she is.

HOLLYWOOD - Sam Neill, the New Zealand actor who made Dr. Alan Grant one of cinema's most durable heroes, has died at 78. His family said the loss was sudden and unexpected, though he had remained cancer free after years of treatment for blood cancer.

Steven Spielberg called him “exceptionally collaborative,” and Laura Dern said she would love him “forever.” Neill also left his mark in The Piano, The Tudors, and a long run of roles that never let him get boxed in.

LOS ANGELES - Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has turned moviegoing into a travel plan. With only 41 cinemas worldwide able to project Imax 1570, fans are flying, driving and, in one case, delaying a second child to catch opening-night screenings in the format Nolan prefers.

The film is the first feature shot entirely on Imax cameras, and the scarcity has done the rest. One fan in the California desert booked a ticket more than a year ago. Others are crossing state lines or settling for 2 a.m. showtimes. For a three-hour epic, that is devotion. Or maybe just the price of seeing it properly.

HOLLYWOOD - Tyler Falbo, the writer-director behind Almost Friday’s viral comedy videos, is making an R-rated Paramount film called *Boys for Life*. It is set for theaters on April 9, 2027. Plot details are thin, but Variety says it is an ensemble about friends reuniting, with a twist. Paramount won the project in a competitive auction that also drew A24 and Warner Bros. Falbo co-wrote the script with Max Barrett and is producing too.
