Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:36:47 GMT

DENVER (AP) — A heavily armed man killed himself rather than carry out an apparent plan to shoot up a mountaintop amusement park in Colorado, his body discovered in a bathroom next to words scrawled on the wall, “I am not a killer,” authorities said Monday.Diego Barajas Medina, 20, was found dead in a women’s bathroom at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park by a maintenance crew on Saturday morning, before the park opened to the public. He died of a self-inflected gunshot wound to the head, Garfield County Coroner Robert Glassmire said.Medina apparently entered the park while it was closed, armed with an AR-style rifle, a semi-automatic handgun and explosives and was wearing body armor and tactical clothing, similar to what a police SWAT team member might wear, authorities said. A message saying, “I am not a killer, I just want to get into the caves,” was written on a wall of the bathroom where Medina’s body was found lying on the floor, Garfield County Sheriff Lou Vallario s...

US isn’t ready for a war of great powers

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:36:47 GMT

Andrew A. Michta is senior fellow and director of the Scowcroft Strategy Initiative at the Atlantic Council of the United States.United States President Joe Biden’s recent Oval Office address marked a key moment in the deepening competition between America and its allies on the one hand, and the axis of dictatorships coalescing around Russia, China, Iran and North Korea on the other.The speech effectively merged the war in Ukraine and the wider war brewing in the Middle East into two theaters of the same conflict. And should Hezbollah now also attack, it will present the U.S. and its allies with a significantly expanded theater, straining military resources yet again.At the same time, Taiwan seems even more likely to emerge as a third sphere of conflict in the next few years — or perhaps even sooner. And Beijing has been boosting its military at scale — the People’s Liberation Army Navy is already numerically greater than the U.S. Navy, while its land forces and nuclear forces are g...

How Matt Clifford became Britain’s most powerful tech adviser

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:36:47 GMT

BRUSSELS — On a warm overcast afternoon in late September, Brussels’ digerati streamed into a cramped event space, just moments from the headquarters of the European Commission, to listen to the U.K.’s man of the hour. Blonde and natty in a crisp white shirt and slim-fit navy suit, Matt Clifford — the British Prime Minister’s official representative for this week’s AI Safety Summit — ambled to the lectern with the smiling ease of someone who has delivered dozens of impromptu speeches. The event, invitation-only and held under the Chatham House Rule, was just one leg of Clifford’s globetrotting, which has taken him from London to Washington and Beijing. These days, as he told POLITICO, he “can sleep anytime, anywhere.”Clifford has been weaving across the planet to talk to top policymakers and tech barons about this week’s Bletchley Park summit, which will focus on severe risks like AI-aided cyberattacks and weapon design, and on which Rishi Sunak has pinned his hopes for a ...

Australia trashes ‘not good enough’ EU trade deal. It will struggle to do better

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:36:47 GMT

BRUSSELS — “Not good enough,” was Australian Trade Minister Don Farrell’s verdict on the trade deal on offer from the European Union before he walked away from the negotiating table for the second time in four months.Yet Canberra will struggle to do better — and may have to wait for years to close a bargain after the breakdown of what had been billed as a decisive round of talks at the weekend in Osaka, Japan.Brussels sent a team of about 10 negotiators and two top Commissioners — Executive Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis, in charge of trade, and Agriculture Commissioner Janusz Wojciechowski — in the hope of wrapping up a deal that was five years in the making.“The EU side traipsed all the way to Japan prepared to do the final deal, just to be told again — forget it!” John Clarke, until recently the top trade negotiator at the Commission’s agriculture department, posted on X. “Well, they will not forget that!”The theatrical snub laid bare to Brus...
