When Leslie Moonves arrived at CBS in July 1995, the so-called Tiffany Network was in last place among total viewers. By the 1996-97 season — the first one Moonves would have had a hand in developing from a pilot perspective — CBS and its new president of entertainment had leapfrogged ABC and settled into third. With some success under his belt, Moonves was understandably promoted to Viacom Inc. co-president and co-COO in 2004. And when CBS split with Viacom in December 2005, the one he went to fared far better. Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Oddly, the closer Hurricane Florence gets to land the murkier its future gets. Usually when a storm approaches the coast, forecasters can tell with ever increasing accuracy where it will hit and who will get walloped. But not Florence. That's because the weather systems that push and pull a storm disappear as Florence nears land around the border between North and South Carolina. The storm is expected to slow down, stall and then perhaps wander just off the Carolina shore as it nears the coast Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Читать дальше...

LOS ANGELES — Nearly 20 percent of marijuana products in California have failed tests for potency and purity since the state started requiring the checks on July 1, a failure rate some in the industry say has more to do with unrealistic standards and technical glitches than protecting consumer safety. The testing has been especially tough on cannabis-infused cookies, candies and tinctures: About one-third have been blocked from store shelves. In much smaller numbers, testing companies licensed by... Читать дальше...

Abe was the first world leader to meet with Trump after the 2016 U.S. election, giving... Читать дальше...

SEATTLE (AP) — Federal biologists said Wednesday they are preparing a plan to capture and treat a sick, critically endangered orca if there is no other way to save her in the wild. Officials said they will intervene and rescue the orca only if she becomes stranded or separated from the rest of her tightly knit group of whales. They want the 4-year-old orca known as J50 to survive in the wild and contribute to the recovery of southern resident killer whales, without putting the rest of the orcas in her pod at risk.
