Joanns will be a maximum security prison, with Rapists and Murderers chained to sewing machines and oversized looms, or locked inside Joanns custom craft corner.

Israeli security forces inspect the site where the Israeli military said a projectile fired by Yemen's Houthi rebels landed in the area of Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv, Israel, on Sunday, May 4, 2025. (AP Photo/Ohad Zwigenberg)2025-05-05T18:08:51Z JERUSALEM (AP) Israels military targeted Houthi rebels in Yemens Red Sea city of Hodeida with a punishing round of airstrikes, a day after the Iranian-backed rebels launched a missile that hit Israels main airport.The rebels media office said at least six strikes hit the crucial Hodeida port Monday afternoon. Other strikes hit a cement factory in the Bajil district in Hodeida province, the rebels said. The Israeli military said more than 20 Israeli fighter jets took part in the operation, dropping more than 50 munitions on dozens of targets. On Sunday, the Houthis launched a missile from Yemen that struck an access road near Israels main airport, briefly halting flights and commuter traffic. Four people were lightly injured. It was the first time a missile struck the grounds of Israels airport since the start of the war. The Houthis claimed that the strikes were a joint Israeli-American operation. However, a U.S. defense official said U.S. forces did not participate in the Israeli strikes on Yemen on Monday. The strikes were not part of Operation Rough Rider, which is the ongoing U.S. military operation against the Houthis in Yemen to prevent them from targeting ships in the Red Sea that started March 15. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters. Separately, the U.S. military launched multiple strikes Monday on the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, another U.S. official said. That official also spoke on condition of anonymity, to discuss military operations. The Houthi-run health ministry said at least 21 people were wounded in the Israeli strikes on the Bajil cement factory. Nasruddin Amer, head of the Houthi media office, said the Israeli strikes wont deter the rebels, vowing that they will respond to the attack.The aggressive Zionist-American raids on civilian facilities will not affect our military operations against the Zionist enemy entity, he said in a social media post. He said the Houthis will escalate their attacks and wont stop targeting shipping routes and Israel until it stops the war in Gaza.The Houthis have targeted Israel throughout the war in solidarity with Palestinians, raising their profile at home and internationally as the last member of Irans self-described Axis of Resistance capable of launching regular attacks on Israel. The U.S. military under President Donald Trump has launched an intensified campaign of daily airstrikes targeting the Houthis since March 15.Houthi rebels have fired at Israel since the war with Gaza began on Oct. 7, 2023. The missiles have mostly been intercepted, although some have penetrated Israels missile defense systems, causing damage. Israel has struck back against the rebels in Yemen. The Israeli military said it targeted the Hodeida port on Monday because Houthi rebels were using it to receive weapons and military equipment from Iran. Rebel-held Hodeida, about 145 kilometers (90 miles) southwest of the capital of Sanaa, has been key for food shipments into Yemen as its decade-long war has gone on. Israel has struck Yemen, and specifically the port city of Hodeida, multiple times before. Israel previously struck Hodeida and its oil infrastructure in July after a Houthi drone attack killed one person and wounded 10 in Tel Aviv. In September, Israel struck Hodeida again, killing at least four people after a rebel missile targeted Israels Ben Gurion airport as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was arriving back to the country. In December, Israeli strikes killed at least nine people in Hodeida. The Houthis have launched multiple missiles towards Israel in the past week. The attack on Ben-Gurion International Airport on Sunday came hours before Israeli Cabinet ministers voted to expand the war in Gaza, including to seize the Gaza Strip and to stay in the Palestinian territory for an unspecified amount of time. While air traffic resumed after an hour, the attack could lead to cancellations of many airlines, which had recently resumed flights to Israel. -Magdy reported from Cairo.

President Donald Trump arrives on Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews, Md., Sunday, May 4, 2025. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta)2025-05-05T21:55:49Z NEW YORK (AP) President Donald Trump is eyeing Hollywood for his next round of tariffs, threatening to levy all films produced outside the U.S. at a steep rate of 100%.Over the weekend, Trump accused other countries of stealing the movie-making capabilities of the U.S. and said that he had authorized the Commerce Department and the U.S. Trade Representative to immediately begin the process of implementing this new import tax on all foreign-made films. But further specifics or dates werent provided. And the White House confirmed that no final decisions had been made as of Monday.Trump later said that he would meet with industry executives about the proposal but a lot remains unclear about how an import tax on complex, international productions could even be implemented. If imposed, experts warn that such a tariff would dramatically hike the costs of making movies today. That uncertainty could put filmmakers in limbo, much like other industries that have recently been caught in the crosshairs of todays ongoing trade wars.Unlike other sectors that have recently been targeted by tariffs, however, movies go beyond physical goods, bringing larger intellectual property ramifications into question. Heres what we know. Why is Trump threatening this steep movie tariff?Trump is citing national security concerns, a justification hes similarly used to impose import taxes on certain countries and a range of sector-specific goods.In a Sunday night post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump claimed that the American movie industry is DYING to a very fast death as other countries offer all sorts of incentives to draw filmmaking away from the U.S. Trump has previously voiced concern about movie production moving overseas. And in recent years, U.S. film and television production has been hampered between setbacks from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Hollywood guild strikes of 2023 and the recent wildfires in the Los Angeles area. Incentive programs have also long-influenced where movies are shot both abroad and within the U.S., with more production leaving California to states like Georgia and New Mexico -- as well as countries like Canada. But unlike other sectors targeted by Trumps recently-imposed tariffs, the American film industry currently holds a trade deficit thats in the U.S.'s favor.In movie theaters, American-produced movies overwhelmingly dominate the domestic marketplace. Data from the Motion Picture Association also shows that American films made $22.6 billion in exports and $15.3 billion in trade surplus in 2023 with a recent report noting that these films generated a positive balance of trade in every major market in the world for the U.S.Last year, international markets accounted for over 70% of Hollywoods total box office revenue, notes Heeyon Kim, an assistant professor of strategy at Cornell University. She warns that tariffs and potential retaliation from other countries impacting this industry could result in billions of dollars in lost earnings and thousands of jobs.To me, (this) makes just no sense, she said, adding that such tariffs could undermine otherwise a thriving part of the U.S. economy. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, which represents behind-the-scenes entertainment workers across the U.S. and Canada, said in a statement Monday that Trump had correctly recognized the urgent threat from international competition that the American film and television industry faces today. But the union said it instead recommended the administration implement a federal production tax incentive and other provisions to level the playing field while not harming the industry overall.How could a tax on foreign-made movies work?Thats anyones guess.Traditional tariffs apply to physical imports crossing borders, but film production primarily involves digital services shooting, editing and post-production work that happens electronically, notes Ann Koppuzha, a lawyer and business law lecturer at Santa Clara Universitys Leavey School of Business.Koppuzha said that film production is more like an applied service that can be taxed, not tariffed. But taxes require Congressional approval, which could be a challenge even with a Republican majority. Making a movie is also an incredibly complex and international process. Its common for both large and small films to include production in the U.S. and in other countries. Big-budget movies like the upcoming Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning, for instance, are shot around the world.U.S. studios frequently shoot abroad because tax incentives can aid production costs. But a blanket tariff across the board could discourage that or limit options, Kim said hurting both Hollywood films and the global industry that helps create them.When you make these sort of blanket rules, youre missing some of the nuance of how production works, added Steven Schiffman, a longtime industry veteran and adjunct professor at Georgetown University. Sometimes you just need to go to the location, because frankly its way too expensive just to try to create in a soundstageSchiffman points to popular titles filmed outside the U.S. such as Warner Bros Harry Potter series, which was almost entirely shot in the U.K. The cost to have done that would have like literally double to produce those movies under this proposed tariff, he said. Could movie tariffs have repercussions on other intellectual property?Overall, experts warn that the prospect of tariffing foreign-made movies ventures into uncharted waters.Theres simply no precedent or sense for applying tariffs to these types of creative services, Koppuzha said. And while the Trump administration could extend similar threats to other forms of intellectual property, like music, theyd encounter the same practical hurdles.But if successful, some also warn of potential retaliation. Kim points to quotas that some countries have had to help boost their domestic films by ensuring they get a portion of theater screens, for example. Many have reduced or suspended such quotas over the years in the name of open trade but if the U.S. places a sweeping tariff on all foreign-made films, these kinds of quotas could come back, which would hurt Hollywood film or any of the U.S.-made intellectual property, Kim said.And while U.S. dominance in film means there are fewer substitutes for retaliation, Schiffman notes that other forms of entertainment like game development could see related impacts down the road.Others stress the potential consequences of hampering international collaboration overall.Creative content distribution requires thoughtful economic approaches that recognize how modern storytelling flows across borders, notes Frank Albarella, U.S. media and telecommunications sector leader at KPMG. The question hanging over every screen: Might we better nurture American storytelling through smart, targeted incentives, or could we inadvertently force audiences to pay more for what could become a narrower creative landscape?__________AP Writers Jake Coyle and Jill Colvin in New York, Aamer Madhani in Palm Beach, Florida and Darlene Superville in Washington contributed to this report.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth arrives for a meeting with Peru's Foreign Affairs Minister Elmer Schialer and Peru's Minister of Defense Walter Astudillo at the Pentagon, Monday, May 5, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein)2025-05-05T20:45:12Z WASHINGTON (AP) Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday directed the active duty military to shed 20% of its four-star general officers as the Trump administration moves forward with deep cuts that it says will promote efficiency but that critics worry could result in a more politicized force. Hegseth also told the National Guard to shed 20% of its top positions and directed the military to cut an additional 10% of its general and flag officers across the force, which could include any one-star or above or officer of equivalent Navy rank.The cuts are on top of more than a half-dozen top general officers that President Donald Trump or Hegseth have fired since January, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. CQ Brown Jr. They also have fired the only two women serving as four-star officers, as well as a disproportionate number of other senior female officers. In the earlier rounds of firing, Hegseth said the eliminations were a reflection of the president wanting the right people around him to execute the national security approach we want to take.As Pentagon chief, Hegseth has touted his efforts to root out any programming or leadership that endorses diversity in the ranks, tried to terminate transgender service members and begun sweeping changes to enforce a uniform fitness standard for combat positions. In a memo announcing the cuts Monday, Hegseth said they would remove redundant force structure to optimize and streamline leadership. He said the aim was to free the military from unnecessary bureaucratic layers. Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., a Marine who served in Iraq and is now on the House Armed Services Committee, said he sees Hegseths actions as trying to politicize the military.Hes creating a formal framework to fire all the generals who disagree with him and the president, Moulton told AP at the Capitol. He said certainly any organization can look for efficiencies but Hegseth has long been explicit about his agenda. He wrote a book about it. He wants to politicize the military, Moulton said. So its hard to see these cuts in any other context.Moulton warned of fallout for the troops. It is essential that our troops understand they are getting constitutional orders, not political orders, he said, because otherwise you dont have a democracy, otherwise you have a military that just works well for one political party or another.Adding to the turmoil in the Pentagon, Hegseth in recent weeks has dismissed or transferred multiple close advisers, tightly narrowing his inner circle. He also has been facing questions from both Democrats and Republicans about his handling of sensitive information and use of the Signal messaging app.There are about 800 general officers in the military, but only 44 of those are four-star general or flag officers. The Army has the largest number of general officers, with 219, including eight four-star generals. The number of general officer positions in the military is set by law. Members of Congress were not provided with the advance notification they normally would receive on the cuts but were given a very brief alert this afternoon, according to a congressional staffer, who spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details not made public. The cuts were first reported by CNN.The Pentagon is under pressure to slash spending and personnel as part of the broader federal government cuts pushed by Trump and ally Elon Musks Department of Government Efficiency. Hegseth last week ordered a sweeping transformation of the Army to build a leaner, more lethal force, including merging or closing headquarters, dumping outdated vehicles and aircraft, slashing as many as 1,000 headquarters staff in the Pentagon and shifting personnel to units in the field.Also last week the Army confirmed that there will be a military parade on Trumps birthday in June, as part of the celebration around the services 250th birthday. Officials say it will cost tens of millions of dollars.-Associated Press writers Lisa Mascaro and Lolita C. Baldor contributed to this report.

(AP Photo/Shuji Kajiyama, file)2025-05-06T01:00:55Z WASHINGTON (AP) Just as Japans top trade negotiator traveled to Washington for another round of tariff talks last week, a bipartisan delegation bearing the name of Japan-China Friendship wrapped up a visit to Beijing.A week earlier, the head of the junior party in Japans ruling coalition was in Beijing delivering a letter from Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba addressed to Chinese President Xi Jinping. Details of the letter are unknown, but the two sides discussed U.S. tariffs in addition to bilateral issues.Among all U.S. allies being wooed by Beijing in its tariff stare-down with Washington, Japan stands out. It is a peculiar case not only for its staunch commitment to its alliance with the United States but also for its complicated and uneasy history with the neighboring Asian giant particularly the war history from the 20th century that still casts a shadow over the politics of today. On one hand, they are neighbors and they are important economic partners. Theres a lot that connects Japan and China, said Matthew Goodman, director of the Greenberg Center for Geoeconomics at the Council on Foreign Relations. But on the other hand, I think there are limits to how far theyre going to lean into China. While Japan wont walk away from its alliance with the United States, the linchpin of the Asian countrys diplomacy and security policies, its also true that the tariffs and uncertainty that Trump has created for Japan is really shaking things up in Tokyo, Goodman said. Last month, President Donald Trump announced a 24% tariff on Japanese goods in a sweeping plan to levy duties on about 90 countries. The White House has since paused the tariffs but a 10% baseline duty on all countries except China, allowing time for negotiations. Still, Trumps 25% tax on aluminum, steel and auto exports have gone into effect for Japan.The tariff moves, as well as Trumps America First agenda, have cast doubts among the Japanese if the United States is still a dependable ally, while China is rallying support from tariff-threatened countries including Japan. In Beijing, Japan sees positive signsWhen Tetsuo Saito led Japans Komeito Party delegation to Beijing in late April, China hinted at difficulty in its tariff dispute with the United States, signaling its willingness to improve ties with Tokyo. An unnamed senior Chinese official said his country was in trouble when discussing Trumps 145% tariff on Chinese products, according to Japanese reports.Saitos visit was soon followed by that of the bipartisan delegation of Japan-China Friendship Parliamentarians Union. Zhao Leji, Beijings top legislator, told the delegation that Chinas National Peoples Congress would be willing to carry out various forms of dialogue and exchanges.Beijing did not lift a ban on Japans seafood imports as the Japanese delegates hoped, but it signaled positive signs on its assessment of the safety of the discharges of treated radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Beijing banned Japans seafood products in 2023, citing those concerns. Ties between Tokyo and Beijing have long been rocky. In the past several years, they squabbled not only over the seafood ban but also long-standing territorial disputes over the Senkaku, or Diaoyu, islands in the East China Sea, Beijings growing military assertiveness and violence against Japanese nationals in China an issue complicated by the nations uneasy history. Tokyos closer ties with Washington during Joe Bidens presidency also upset Beijing, which saw it as part of the U.S. strategy to contain China and has lectured Tokyo to face squarely and reflect on the history of aggression.An imperial power in Asia for centuries, China fell behind Japan in the 19th century when Japan began to embrace Western industrialization and grew into a formidable economic and military power. It invaded China in the 1930s and controlled the northeastern territory known as Manchuria. War atrocities, including the Nanking Massacre and the use of chemical and biological weapons and human medical experiments in Manchuria, have left deep scars in China. They have yet to be healed, though Japans conservative politicians today still attempt to deny the aggression. Ishiba, elected Japans prime minister in October, has a more neutral view on his countrys wartime history than the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his two successors. Weeks after taking office, Ishiba held talks with Xi on the sidelines of a leaders summit.Chinese scholars, however, see Tokyos recent engagements with Beijing as a pragmatic move to hedge against U.S. protectionism and not a long-term strategy for stability with China.The odds are low for Japan to move into Chinas orbit, Goodman said. They have for a long time had to manage an important but challenging relationship with China, he said. And that is, again, a long-standing problem for Japan, going back centuries or millennia. Seeking tariff deals and stable ties in the USWhile Japan might welcome the friendlier tone from Beijing, it is trying to stabilize Japan-U.S. relations under Trumps America First agenda, and it is hoping to settle the tariff dispute without confronting Washington, with an eye on preventing Beijing from exploiting any fallout in Japan-U.S. relations.Japan was among the first countries to hold tariff talks with Washington. During the first round in mid-April, Trump inserted himself into the discussions, a sign of the high stakes for the United States to reach a deal with Japan. The Trump administration reportedly pushed for Japan to buy more U.S.-made cars and open its market to U.S. beef, rice and potatoes. After the second round of negotiation in Washington last week, Ryosei Akazawa, the countrys chief tariff negotiator, said he pushed Japans request that the U.S. drop tariffs and was continuing efforts toward an agreement acceptable to both sides. He said Japans auto industry was already hurting from the 25% tariff and that he needed to be thorough but fast.Asked about China, Akazawa said only that his country keeps watching the U.S.-China tariff development with great interest. He noted Japans deep trade ties with China.Competing in Southeast AsiaWhile China and Japan are working to mend ties, the two are also competing in the Southeast Asia region, where Trump has threatened high tariffs as well. The region is deeply integrated into Chinas supply chain but under pressure from the West to diversify and reduce its reliance on China. With younger and growing populations as compared to East Asia, the region is considered an important growth center.Japan, as a major postwar development aid contributor, has gradually regained trust in the region, which also was scarred by Japans World War II past.On Wednesday, Ishiba returned from Vietnam and the Philippines after agreeing with their leaders to further strengthen security and economic ties. During the visit, Ishiba stressed Japans commitment to maintaining and strengthening a multilateral free-trade system in each country. Ishiba also had telephone talks with his Malaysian and Singaporean counterparts earlier this month about U.S. tariffs.Just weeks earlier, Xi was in Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia, also stressing free trade and seeking stronger supply chains. At a recent discussion at the Washington-based think tank Hudson Institute, Itsunori Onodera, Japans governing party policy chief, warned of very unstable feelings among many Asian countries faced with high tariffs from the United States. Theres a danger they might become more distant and become closer to China, Onodera said. This is not something that Japan wants, either.___Yamaguchi reported from Tokyo.
