All sorts of questions have emerged ahead of the World Cup launch Thursday. Here's a look at some of the most intriguing ones.

California may now be placing a warning label on coffee. I'm quite certain this decision will backfire more loudly than an antique espresso machine with two broken pumps.

Parkland, Florida (CNN) New documents obtained by CNN provide a glimpse into the Florida school shooter's life in the Broward County Jail. In observation reports from February 17 to 24, deputies described Nikolas Cruz's activities, demeanor and behavior. Throughout the week, Cruz was segregated from other inmates due to his high-profile status. He started in the infirmary and was transferred to a different cell on February 23. On February 24, a deputy noted that Cruz had a visit with an unide

(CNN) A Kansas man pleaded guilty in state court Tuesday to killing an engineer from India in a high-profile hate crime that drew international attention and raised fears of growing intolerance in America. Adam Purinton, 52, also pleaded guilty to injuring two others during the shooting incident at a sports bar in February 2017. A third man, Ian Grillot was shot and injured as he tried to intervene. Kuchibhotla, who later died from injuries sustained in the attack, and Madasani were both orig

Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump isn't expected to announce new proposed action on guns until he meets with representatives of the video game industry on Thursday, two sources familiar with the matter tell CNN. Both sources caution, however, that the President could change his mind at any time and opt to move forward with his policy before the meeting. Nearly three weeks since the shooting that killed 17 people, Trump appears more eager to take action on campaign promises to his base tha

It's been a year since researchers generated excitement by announcing a novel way of treating cancer – by cutting off the flow of blood to tumors in mice.

Washington (CNN) It wouldn't be an awards show without some political moments. This year, we kept track of every political jab and line made at the 90th annual Academy Awards show . Check out the list below: Tonight, actors and allies will #WearOrange pins and ribbons on the #Oscars red carpet to bring awareness to gun violence prevention in the wake of the Parkland school shooting. https://t.co/7BxtM6bTKD As expected, many attendees sported the signature "Time's up" black and white pin. Pue

"The Shape of Water" floated to the top as best picture at the 90th annual Academy Awards, bringing a suspenseful close to an awards season punctuated by the sexual-harassment scandals that have roiled Hollywood. The Oscars are a big, unwieldy beast, which invariably try to serve too many masters. Yet if the intent was ultimately to maintain a celebratory tone without ignoring either the outside world or the elephant in the room throughout this year's awards, host Jimmy Kimmel and the show itse

My daughter and her peers have shown me that change is possible and perhaps even inevitable. In only a few days and weeks, teens across the country have heard the rallying cry of Parkland survivors and created dozens of local "March for Our Lives" events. My daughter has held meetings, prepared press releases, spoken to media, run social media accounts and even worked with T-shirt designers to create merchandise to raise money for our local event and the national one. And she's just one teen, in

Didn't it feel good to be No. 2 for a while? Well, enjoy the last few months of that ranking, because we're about to become No. 3.

Manila (CNN Philippines Life) — It’s eight a.m. on a Saturday, and the six-hour session is about to begin. Tammy, a 31 year-old entrepreneur, is the first of the girls to arrive. She does yoga and running, and says she’s here for self-defense. “[I'm here to] Develop a bit of confidence and not be oppressed by men,” she says with a laugh. “You have that, like, fear in your mind, you know? It’s kind of like an instinct of fear that I want to gear myself up against. That’s the bigger picture.”

(CNN) -- A celebrity gossip Web site has caught Maria Shriver a third time apparently violating California's law against using a cell phone while driving. Shriver's husband, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, last year supported and signed into law a ban on using handheld communication devices while driving. Shriver's most recent alleged violations come on the heels of AAA Northern California's "Heads Up Driving Week," during which the auto club urged motorists to get in the habit of driving without distractions such as cell phones, fast food and tuning the stereo. "We hope that by driving distraction-free for a week, people can pick up the habit for life," AAA spokesman Matt Skryja said in a news release.

Everyone knows about LeBron James and his fanatical workouts, but not many people know about the guy entrusted with keeping his billion-dollar body in shape. His trainer of 14 years, Mike Mancias, would like to keep it that way.

With 14 wins and just one draw so far, Manchester City are on pace to pull off the most dominant season in Premier League history -- but can they equal Arsenal's 2004 team and go undefeated?

The effects were felt in Virginia's state legislative races, too, delegate-elect Wendy Gooditis said on a day-after call with the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. Gooditis's brother, who struggled to find treatment for PTSD and then alcoholism because he was not insured, died early on in her campaign. "I talked and talked and talked about the expansion of Medicaid this year," Gooditis said on Wednesday. "Now, having earned the huge honor of joining the house this year, it's going to be a major push for me, as well as many others."

Another left-wing group, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, is railing against Moore -- but is taking the more cautious approach of urging donors to split their contributions among Jones, Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, two pro-LGBT bulwarks.

The NFL may be stealing all the headlines when it comes to its National Anthem spat with US President Donald Trump, but women's professional basketball has been consistently taking an even greater stand on its biggest stage.

The Progressive Change Campaign Committee said this week it would send fundraising emails to its list of 1 million members on behalf of politicians who demand stricter gun laws. PCCC co-founder Adam Green said in an email to the group's supporters that the effort is to "reward those brave political leaders who go beyond kind thoughts and prayers -- and who demand action on guns."

There are signs of momentum this week for Cathy Glasson, one of the Sanders-friendly Democrats running to be the next governor of Iowa. It's a crowded primary field, so the endorsement — and with it fundraising and strategic support — she got from the small but influential Progressive Change Campaign Committee, is nice get for Glasson. A nurse and Service Employees International Union local leader, she backed Hillary Clinton in 2016 (at least in part because the SEIU did), but has been working to woo Hawkeye state Berniecrats. She was visible making the rounds during Sanders' first return to Des Moines since the election over the summer at the Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement Action Fund Convention.

While pro athletes have been mismanaging their finances for decades, a combination of the realization of health risks and greater financial savvy have led many NFL contemporaries to reverse that trend.

Florida knows it's going to have to deal with hurricanes every year (and their effects stand to get worse and worse). So it makes sense to devote more and more money and resources to solutions to this problem.

Adam Green, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee co-founder, brushed off the prospect of "small-bore technocratic tweaks," saying it was time to offer "every American access to Medicare."

So let me get this straight: GOP leaders are surprised because (a) the most unconventional Republican President in history, who (b) used to "identify as a Democrat," who has (c) spent the last several weeks attacking GOP leaders on Twitter, has (d) cut a deal with the Democrats?

The mega-deals of Neymar and Mbappe are largely politically motivated by PSG's Qatari owners, say analysts.

(CNN) Radhika Kami lives with her family of six in a traditional mud-and-brick house in a rural village in Nepal's Kanchanpur district -- for most of the year. For about five days each month, the 16-year-old is banished to a hut -- a windowless, ramshackle shed with a small door and poor sanitation and ventilation -- and is forbidden from touching other people, cattle, any fruits and vegetables that are growing, even books. It is known as a menstruation hut, and Radhika must go there each time
