  • FM Araqchi says Iran to work with IAEA, but inspections may be risky</p>

<p>July 12, 2025 at 9:10 PM</p>

<p>DUBAI (Reuters) -Iran plans to cooperate with the U.N. nuclear watchdog despite restrictions imposed by its parliament, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Saturday, but stressed that access to its bombed nuclear sites posed security and safety issues.</p>

<p>The new law stipulates that any future inspection of Iran's nuclear sites by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) needs approval by the Supreme National Security Council, Iran's top security body.</p>

<p>"The risk of spreading radioactive materials and the risk of exploding leftover munitions ... are serious," state media cited Araqchi as saying. "For us, IAEA inspectors approaching nuclear sites has both a security aspect ... and the safety of the inspectors themselves is a matter that must be examined."</p>

<p>While Iran's cooperation with the nuclear watchdog has not stopped, it will take a new form and will be guided and managed through the Supreme National Security Council, Araqchi told Tehran-based diplomats.</p>

<p>Kelly Preston poses at the Cannes Film Festival in southern France on May 15, 2018.</p>

<p>Hollywood lost one of its brightest stars when Kelly Preston died at age 57.</p>

<p>On July 12, 2020, the actress — known for her roles in many beloved films and TV shows throughout the '80s and '90s like For Love and Honor, Twins, Jerry Maguire and Addicted to Love — died following a private two-year diagnosis with breast cancer.</p>

<p>Though she enjoyed a successful career on-screen, Preston also cherished a rich personal life with her husband of nearly 30 years, Oscar-nominated actor John Travolta, with whom she shared three children.</p>

<p>"I experience bliss a lot, and it's always when I'm with my kids and husband and we're all together alone," Preston told PEOPLE in 2018. "As a family, it doesn't get better than that."</p>

<p>As we mark the fifth anniversary of her death, here's a look back at Preston's life through photos.</p>

<p>Kelly Preston's Early Years</p>

<p>According to her official website, Preston was born in Honolulu on Oct. 13, 1962. At age 5, her family moved to Iraq and later to Australia. However, she returned to Hawaii to graduate from Punahou High School.</p>

<p>Per the Television Academy, Preston was discovered by an agent at age 16 in Australia and had her first on-screen roles in 1983 with films like 10 to Midnight, Metalstrom: The Destruction of Jared-Syn and Christine. She later shifted gears to teen rom-coms, starring in 1985's Mischief and Secret Admirer (pictured).</p>

<p>Preston eventually joined the cast of 1986's SpaceCamp, where she met her first husband, Kevin Gage. The pair married in 1985, the same year they met on set, but they divorced in 1987.</p>

<p>Throughout the rest of the decade, Preston starred in the films 52 Pick-Up (1986), A Tiger's Tale (1987), Twins (1988) and The Experts (1989). She first met her costar and future husband, Travolta, on the set of The Experts.</p>

<p>On New Year's Eve 1991, Travolta got down on one knee inside the Palace Hotel restaurant in Gstaad, Switzerland, and proposed with a six-carat yellow-and-white diamond ring.</p>

<p>Preston was two months pregnant with the couple's son Jett when they got married on Sept. 5, 1991. They said their "I dos" in an unannounced ceremony at the Hotel de Crillon in Paris.</p>

<p>They later got married for a second time on U.S. soil in Daytona Beach, Fla. Preston and Travolta welcomed Jett in 1992.</p>

<p>On April 3, 2000, the couple welcomed their second child, a daughter named Ella Bleu.</p>

<p>The only daughter of Travolta and Preston decided to follow in her parents' footsteps to become an actress, and starred in the 2019 film The Poison Rose alongside her famous father and Morgan Freeman.</p>

<p>Proud mom Preston celebrated her daughter's rise as an actress on Instagram, writing, "Still in absolute awe of my stunning daughter @ella.travolta I just re-watched all of her interviews this past week doing press for #thepoisonrose and she has jumped into 'the family business' as an absolute natural."</p>

<p>"I am beyond proud of her and all of her accomplishments, but most of all I am proud and honored to have her as my daughter," Preston added. "I love you and congratulations."</p>

<p>"He's given the house a renewed spirit and purpose," the actor told PEOPLE in 2011.</p>

<p>During an interview with Good Morning America in 2016, Travolta said, "Certainly, having little Ben has been a beautiful kind of glue for us to rebond after tremendous loss."</p>

<p>"Happy Father's Day to the best one I know, we love you 😘💕," she wrote.</p>

<p>Preston's final role was in 2021's Off the Rails, a British dramedy costarring Jenny Seagrove and Sally Phillips.</p>

<p>During an episode of the U.K. talk show Loose Women in 2021, Phillips recalled Preston kept her breast-cancer diagnosis private throughout filming.</p>

<p>"She was so bloomin' beautiful and so vibrant, and you would never have known. She was so professional," Phillips said.</p>

<p>When Travolta shared the movie trailer on Instagram, he paid tribute to his wife with heartfelt words: "Off the Rails is Kelly's last film — she was very proud of it and of all of the wonderful talent that she got to work with in it."</p>

<p>SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Willy Adames homered in the second inning and hit a two-run triple in San Francisco's five-run fifth and the Giants sent the rival Los Angeles Dodgers to their seventh straight loss with an 8-7 victory Friday night.</p>

<p>San Francisco pulled within four games of the first-place Dodgers in the NL West.</p>

<p>Dominic Smith homered leading off the fifth after Jung Hoo Lee's two-run triple in the fourth put San Francisco ahead against Dustin May (5-6). Lee beat out an infield single in the fifth to drive in another run.</p>

<p>Shohei Ohtani hit his 32nd home run of the season into McCovey Cove beyond the right-field wall for a go-ahead two-run shot in the third inning.</p>

<p>Ohtani connected after Hyeseong Kim's leadoff single marked the first hit of the night against Logan Webb (9-6), who walked Ohtani in a nine-pitch battle to begin the game and finished with six runs, six hits and six strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings.</p>

<p>Camilo Doval allowed Mookie Betts' single then walked Freddie Freeman before getting Will Smith to ground into a game-ending double play for his 15th save.</p>

<p>Ohtani crushed a 91.1 mph cutter on Webb's first offering of the at-bat and the ball traveled 410 feet.</p>

<p>Michael Conforto's two-run homer in the sixth chased Webb after he hit Betts with a pitch.</p>

<p>The Dodgers have their worst losing streak since Sept. 2-11 2017, when they dropped 11 in a row.</p>

<p>May, who beat the Giants on June 15, was tagged for seven earned runs on five hits in 4 2/3 innings.</p>

<p>Key play</p>

<p>Following his triple, Lee was called out at home on a fly by Casey Schmitt and a sensational throw by left fielder Conforto. The Giants challenged the call and it was upheld on review.</p>

<p>Key stat</p>

<p>Ohtani's blast marked the 65th home run into the water by an opponent in Oracle Park's 25-year history and 171st in all — 35 of those belong to home run king Barry Bonds.</p>

<p>Up next</p>

<p>Ohtani (0-1, 1.50 ERA) pitches Saturday opposite Giants RHP Landen Roupp (6-5, 3.39).</p>

After scientist questioned for China ties died by suicide, family sues and speaks out

  • After scientist questioned for China ties died by suicide, family sues and speaks out</p>

<p>Kimmy YamJuly 12, 2025 at 8:00 PM</p>

<p>Their mother was Jane Wu, a Chinese American neuroscientist at Northwestern University whose lab was abruptly shut down in May 2024 following a government investigation into her research activities and ties to China. Wu was never charged, and she died by suicide at 60 years old just months later.</p>

<p>Her family recently filed a lawsuit against the school alleging that Northwestern discriminated against Wu even though she was cleared by shutting down her lab, forcing her into a psychiatric facility against her will and ultimately leading her to take her own life. Wu's court records do not show any related charges.</p>

<p>Her daughter, Elizabeth Rao, is now speaking to the media for the first time amid the one-year anniversary of Wu's death. Rao talked about her mother's legacy and addressed the lawsuit that she hopes will result in the fair treatment of scholars like her mother.</p>

<p>"As painful as it is for us as her family to recount how Northwestern treated her, we are seeking justice to prevent this from happening again to others in the future," Rao said.</p>

<p>Wu, a neuroscientist, had a nearly 40-year career including nearly two decades at Northwestern, according to the complaint, which said her lab researched tumor development and metastasis, in addition to efforts to fight neurodegenerative diseases. A naturalized citizen, Wu lived in Chicago, enjoyed a wide variety of music ranging from Tanya Tucker to Taiwanese pop musician Teresa Teng and loved spending time with her two children.</p>

<p>In 2019, the National Institutes of Health, a federal medical research agency that operates under the Department of Health and Human services, investigated Wu for any contacts related to China as part of a larger agency effort to investigate foreign influence at U.S. grantee institutions. Her work included "occasional international contacts" in China in addition to Argentina, Britain, Canada and more, the lawsuit said.</p>

<p>While there were never any charges, Northwestern made efforts to limit her from working during the probe, the suit said. And when the investigation failed to turn up any revelations, the school still continued to punish her, the suit said.</p>

<p>"NU did nothing to support her nor help lift the racial stigma placed over Dr. Wu despite her obvious innocence and the enormous funding her work had brought to NU," the lawsuit said.</p>

<p>The Wu family suit, filed on June 23, says that the school's treatment of Wu, including its alleged efforts to oust her, her physical eviction from her office and forced hospitalization, was a "substantial and decisive factor in her decision to end her life." The estate is seeking an unspecified amount in compensatory and punitive damages.</p>

<p>Jane Wu at Niagara Falls. (Courtesy Elizabeth Rao)</p>

<p>Northwestern told NBC News in an email that its heart goes out to the family, but it "vehemently denies" the allegations in the suit.</p>

<p>The school "plans to file a motion to dismiss it before our next pleading is due in early September," the university said. The school declined to provide further details on specific allegations.</p>

<p>The suit says that even though there was no evidence of wrongdoing, the school still took action against Wu following the NIH investigation. Northwestern did not address its interactions with NIH.</p>

<p>NIH faced backlash for alleged racial profiling after it began sending letters to universities in 2018 asking them to investigate hundreds of grant recipients, mostly those with collaborators in China. The letters were part of an effort by NIH to thwart the theft of biomedical research and intellectual property by other countries. Lawmakers in 2020 launched a probe into the agency as well as the FBI for their investigations of scientists of Asian descent.</p>

<p>While NIH has said that most but not all scientists who were being investigated were of Chinese descent, the agency denied racial profiling.</p>

<p>"This is not xenophobic racism, this is not targeting and this is not stigma. This is real theft," Dr. Michael Lauer, NIH deputy director for extramural research, said of the agency's investigations into Asian scientists that showed instances of withholding information about funding sources.</p>

<p>At the time, under the Department of Justice's China Initiative, a number of scholars of Chinese descent across the country had been accused of espionage, including MIT's Gang Chen in 2021, University of Tennessee, Knoxville's Anming Hu in 2020 and Qing Wang formerly of the Cleveland Clinic that same year. All three were later acquitted. While the NIH investigations were not formally part of the China Initiative, they drew similar criticisms of discrimination.</p>

<p>The Wu estate suit alleges Northwestern discriminated against her during the investigation by limiting her work, partly closing her lab space, breaking up her research team and reassigning her grants to white, male faculty colleagues and isolating her. During a meeting with university leadership in which Wu was being told about the investigation, she was asked to write a "narrative related to activities in China," the lawsuit said.</p>

<p>The family accused the school of racial discrimination because the university had already approved of her interactions in China and her work was public domain, the lawsuit said.Still, the school sought to limit Wu's work even after the investigation had concluded and continued efforts to isolate her, the lawsuit said.</p>

<p>Jane Wu with her children in Nashville. (Courtesy Elizabeth Rao)</p>

<p>When the investigation ended in 2023, the university placed "even stronger restrictions to block Dr. Wu's return to her funded scientific work," the lawsuit said. Among them, the dean of the university's Feinberg School of Medicine, where Wu taught, cut her salary and raised new requirements she had to meet to restore her funded status, the suit said.</p>

<p>Months later, the school continued efforts to block Wu's work, and by May, administrators shut down her lab entirely "without explanation," the complaint said.</p>

<p>The ordeal had contributed to signs of depression and obsessive behavior in Wu as she attempted to protect her life's work, the complaint said. She also suffered from a loss of vision as a result of a stroke she had under the stress of the investigation, the lawsuit said. But she was still able to work. The school used her emotional disability as a "pretext" to evict her, and in late May, Northwestern sent law enforcement to remove her and place her in handcuffs, the lawsuit said. The school then forcibly admitted her to the psychiatric unit of the Northwestern Memorial Hospital without notifying loved ones or consulting outside doctors, the lawsuit said.</p>

<p>Northwestern declined to comment about specific allegations, including those around salary, law enforcement and psychiatric treatment.</p>

<p>"The physical assault directed by NU and the forced hospitalization sent Dr. Wu into a severe state of shock," the complaint said.</p>

<p>Two weeks after her release from the hospital, Wu took her own life, the lawsuit said.</p>

<p>In December 2024, NIH released a statement acknowledging that its efforts to protect against concerning activities from China "have had the consequence of creating a difficult climate for our valued Asian American, Asian immigrant and Asian research colleagues who may feel targeted and alienated."</p>

<p>Wu's story has drawn support from a number of members of the scientific community in addition to groups like the Asian American Scholar Forum, which condemned the school's treatment of the late scientist.</p>

<p>"Universities must be places of community, support, and fairness, not fear and coercion," said Gisela Perez Kusakawa, executive director of the Asian American Scholar Forum, in a statement on Wu's death.</p>

<p>For Rao, many of her best memories are of Wu as a parent. She described her mother as the opposite of the strict and demanding "tiger mom" stereotype. Throughout Rao's childhood, the family lived in St. Louis, Nashville and then Chicago, she said. And in each of those cities, Wu "turned simple houses into warm homes."</p>

<p>Rao said she and her mother would hold hands and watch movies or immerse themselves in the quiz show "Wait Wait… Don't Tell Me!" The two would also sing along to tunes during long drives, she said.</p>

<p>"She made sure that my brother and I had got not only a great education but also got to do all the stuff of a quintessential American childhood. Sports, road trips, dance classes, choir, you name it," Rao said.</p>

<p>Rao said that her mother also left her family with a lesson.</p>

<p>"We carry this with us: her upstanding morals and conviction to fight against injustice," she said.</p>

Texas flooding death toll rises amid weekend flash flooding risk

  • Texas flooding death toll rises amid weekend flash flooding risk</p>

<p>Jeanine Santucci, USA TODAY July 12, 2025 at 9:19 PM</p>

<p>Over a week since an inundated Guadalupe River sent floodwaters tearing through homes and youth camps in Texas, optimism for rescuing any of the dozens of people still missing from Hill Country on Saturday has steadily faded as the death toll continued to rise.</p>

<p>Hundreds of rescuers, many of them volunteers, have scoured miles of destruction for any sign of the missing. But they haven't rescued anyone alive since July 4, the day of the flood, officials in the hardest-hit Kerr County said. Some 160 people are missing from the county alone.</p>

<p>As of the morning of July 12, the death toll had risen to at least 129, with authorities in Kerr and Travis counties reporting more bodies recovered. The toll in Kerr County rose to at least 103, including 67 adults and 36 children, according to the county's Joint Information Center. In Travis County, the toll rose to nine from eight, spokesperson Hector Nieto confirmed to USA TODAY. Officials previously said at least 27 campers and counselors from Camp Mystic, the beloved all-girls Christian camp, were among the dead.</p>

<p>"I've never seen anything like this, and I've seen a lot of bad ones," President Donald Trump said as he and first lady Melania Trump surveyed the damage on Friday. "It's hard to believe the devastation."</p>

<p>Volunteers expected to help with recovery Saturday</p>

<p>Kerr County said it is expecting a large number of "spontaneous volunteers" to help with recovery efforts on Saturday. Volunteers have been a key part of search and rescue in the days since the flood, with officials sometimes asking volunteers to stay away so qualified personnel can conduct some of the grueling work.</p>

<p>Volunteers are asked to register with Texas Community Recovery and check in at Tivy Antler Stadium in Kerrville before attending a safety briefing.</p>

<p>A person watches as machinery is used to clear debris along the banks of the Guadalupe River after catastrophic floods in Center Point, Texas, July 11, 2025.Officials continue to grapple with question of blame</p>

<p>Officials in Texas have faced relentless questions about what could have been done to prevent the high death toll and short amount of warning time in the Hill Country flooding. In Kerr County, Sheriff Larry Leitha has said he's not dodging the questions, but is focusing on the top priority of locating each missing person and identifying each victim found.</p>

<p>Trump on Friday rejected concerns about whether communities along the Guadalupe River were adequately prepared for the disaster.</p>

<p>"I think everybody did an incredible job under the circumstances," Trump said. "Only a very evil person would ask a question like that."</p>

<p>Gov. Greg Abbott earlier in the week said "blame" was the "word choice of losers."</p>

<p>Is more flooding on the way?</p>

<p>As cleanup and recovery continues in Texas Hill Country, a renewed threat of flash flooding is in store over the weekend, forecasters said. Scattered showers are expected to develop Saturday afternoon and evening in south-central Texas, including parts of areas that already flooded. Heavy rain can quickly run off already wet ground, forecasters said.</p>

<p>In Kerrville, there is about a 35% chance of an inch of rain falling through Sunday morning, the weather service office serving Austin and San Antonio said.</p>

<p>"The expected heavy rainfall totals along with already sensitive, wet antecedent conditions may lead to scattered to potentially numerous instances of flash flooding," the National Weather Service said.</p>

<p>Abbott activated emergency response resources on Friday at the Texas Division of Emergency Management in response to the forecast: "Texas continues to stand ready to deploy all necessary resources to support Texans as severe storms move across our state," he said.</p>
