(CNN) — Actor Jeremy Renner made his first red carpet appearance since he sustained serious injuries after being crushed by a snowplow near his Nevada home in January.Renner attended a premiere screening in Los Angeles for his new Disney+ reality series, “Rennervations.” In the show, which was filmed prior to his accident, Renner “reimagines” decommissioned government vehicles and donates them to serve children in communities in need.“It’s a lot of things for me personally,” Renner told CNN of his new project when asked how it felt to be at the event. “I feel like everyone is in on the joke now about what I’ve been doing with my time. It feels weird, wonderful, weird. I never thought I’d have dreams as a 52-year-old man still. I feel like I kind of did them. But wow, it’s nice to have things come true for yourself. There’s more wonderment still to be had, and I feel very grateful to be here to continue fin...

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 04:20:13 GMT

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — An interfaith vigil is planned Wednesday evening in downtown Louisville to remember victims of a mass shooting at a bank, allowing the public to offer prayers for the injured and to begin work toward a more peaceful city, Mayor Craig Greenberg said.The event at the Muhammad Ali Center is just a few blocks away from Old National Bank, where a gunman killed five and injured eight others on Monday.“This is a very tough time for our city, and we were not meant to go through tough times alone,” Greenberg said in a statement.On Tuesday, police released body camera video that showed the chaotic moments when officers arrived at the bank as the shooter, who they couldn’t see, rained bullets down on them.The videos, taken from two wounded officers’ lapels, offer a rare perspective of police officers responding to a massacre. One, a rookie officer, was shot in the head within minutes of arriving at the scene. His partner was grazed by a bullet and sought cove...

Indiana recycling plant fire forces evacuation orders for thousands as it emits toxic smoke, officials say. And it could burn for days

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 04:20:13 GMT

(CNN) — A fire that started Tuesday afternoon at a recycling plant in the eastern Indiana city of Richmond was emitting toxic smoke and has forced evacuation orders for about 2,000 people as it is expected to burn for days, officials said.Early air monitoring results are expected early Wednesday, Wayne County officials said. Plastics were among the items burning at the plant, and the smoke — a thick, black column rose from the site Tuesday — is “definitely toxic,” Indiana State Fire Marshal Steve Jones said in a news briefing.“There is a host of different chemicals that plastics give off when they’re on fire, and it’s concerning,” Jones said Tuesday evening, adding he expects the fire to burn for days.An evacuation order was put in place for residents within a half-mile of the fire, and authorities could change the order if the direction of the wind shifts, Jones said. Residents downwind of the evacuation zone — to the east...

China’s Hamburg port deal in doubt after German security assessment

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 04:20:13 GMT

BERLIN — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s controversial plan to sell parts of a Hamburg container terminal to China has been thrown into uncertainty after the country’s security authorities declared the facility as “critical infrastructure.”Ahead of a state visit to Beijing last year, Scholz had strongly pushed for Chinese state company Cosco to be allowed to buy a minority stake in the Tollerort terminal in the Hamburg port, overruling concerns and objections from several ministers from his own government. However, a sudden classification of the terminal as “critical infrastructure” by Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security means that Berlin has to reassess the deal, and might end up banning it. A joint investigation by German public broadcasters WDR and NDR as well as daily Süddeutsche Zeitung first reported the new security assessment.“Since the prerequisites have changed, we … are examining the effects on the overal...

FBI warns consumers not to use public phone charging stations

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 04:20:13 GMT

(CNN) — The FBI is warning consumers against using public phone charging stations in order to avoid exposing their devices to malicious software.Public USB stations like the kind found at malls and airports are being used by bad actors to spread malware and monitoring software, according to a tweet last week from the FBI’s Denver branch. The agency did not provide any specific examples.“Carry your own charger and USB cord and use an electrical outlet instead,” the agency advised in the tweet.While public charging stations are attractive to many when devices are running critically low on battery, security experts have for years raised concerns about the risk. In 2011, researchers coined the term “juice jacking” to describe the problem.“Just by plugging your phone into a [compromised] power strip or charger, your device is now infected, and that compromises all your data,” Drew Paik, formerly of security firm Authentic8, e...

The MSPCA caring for a three-year-old Goldendoodle who escaped his home through a fence and was struck by a car, the organization said Wednesday. Teddy was a typical happy young dog when tragedy struck, the MSPCA said. His owners brought him to Angell Animal Medical Center following the accident last month, where veterinarians confirmed Teddy’s front right leg was fractured and he had a deep wound on his front left leg – injuries that could take months to heal.“Teddy’s case is complex,” said MSPCA-Angell Director of Adoption Centers and Programs Mike Keiley . “When we discussed it with [his owners] and detailed Teddy’s expected recovery process, they decided it would be best to surrender, so we could rehome him.”“We understand and respect the owners’ decision, and are hopeful that we can give Teddy the care he needs that will allow us to find him a new family to help with the final stages of his recovery,” he added. Teddy’s injuries have left unanswered questions for his...
