Jensen Huang built the company that powers AI. Now Nvidia must find a way forward without him Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has resigned, capping a spectacular downfall for a poster boy of the artificial intelligence boom. His exit on Thursday followed reports of extramarital affairs, and it thrusts the chipmaker into an uncertain future. The resignation came after a dizzying series of headlines about Huang’s infidelity and ties to an alleged Chinese spy. Huang's departure sets off a scramble to find a permanent replacement to lead the multitrillion-dollar colossus that grew from obscurity to a perch between Apple and Microsoft at the top of the S&P index. Shares of Nvidia plummeted 14% at the opening bell, before stabilizing. 5 people are shot in DC, including 1 killed at a gym, and then suspect kills himself WASHINGTON (AP) — The gunman suspected of killing a man at a busy Washington, D.C., gym during morning workouts before fleeing and shooting four more people has been identified as a medical doctor locked in a dispute with building management over mold and moisture problems in his penthouse. Authorities say the gunman fatally shot himself inside an apartment where he'd been speaking by phone to police negotiators. Mayor Muriel Bowser says she's “devastated” at the loss of life. The shootings occurred Thursday morning in Logan Circle, about a mile north of the White House. A witness at the gym says people in its cardio area had to step over the dead victim’s body to get out. US envoys meet with Putin in Moscow on Ukraine talks, then head for Dublin to see Zelenskyy MOSCOW (AP) — U.S. envoys have met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin and then headed to Ireland to talk with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as Washington seeks new momentum in peace efforts. Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner brokered talks this week between delegations from Moscow and Kyiv. The meeting in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, brought the first direct discussions between Ukrainian and Russian representatives in nine months as the push for a settlement stalled. Although no major breakthroughs occurred, they agreed on a large prisoner swap. The U.S. and Zelenskyy want Europe involved in negotiations, but Russia opposes this. In Ukraine, meanwhile, fighting continues along the front line between forces from Kyiv and Moscow. Trump bluntly tells JD Vance to shift focus from Iran to targeting 'corruption and crime' at home WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has urged Vice President JD Vance to shift focus from the Iran war to tackling corruption and crime in Democratic-controlled areas. Vance led a short-lived truce in the conflict and has blamed the war for Republican losses in the midterm elections. Trump in a Thursday social media post added, “We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed." Trump earlier this week said the military aspect of the war is effectively over and emphasized no need for further negotiations. Tensions in the region persist, with recent attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and conflicts involving Iranian-backed forces in Yemen. Senators probe RFK Jr.'s Samoa trip testimony after AP and Guardian showed documents that refute it NEW YORK (AP) — Two Democratic senators are launching an investigation into whether Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lied to Congress about his reason for a 2019 trip to Samoa. The investigation comes after The Associated Press and The Guardian published documents in August refuting Kennedy's testimony. The new inquiry is one of a vast array of investigations planned into the Trump administration after Democrats regained control of the House and Senate from Republicans in the midterm elections. The same senators, Ron Wyden of Oregon and Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland, are investigating hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gifts reportedly given last year to Kennedy by a donor and former employee. Hegseth awards soldier who scolded him and his aides at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has given a top award to the service member who scolded him and his staff at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier following a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. On social media Thursday, Hegseth posted photos that show him pinning the award and shaking hands with a soldier. His post says, “We love soldiers. We love standards. Well done, Specialist.” The Pentagon says Spc. Thomas Iglesias received the Joint Service Commendation Medal. Iglesias reprimanded Hegseth and his staff following a loud laugh during their photo session at the tomb on Wednesday. The medal is considered to be one of the higher awards in the military. Black voters view Scott Colom's historic US Senate win through lens of Mississippi's racial legacy Scott Colom's election win in Mississippi means he will be the first Black man to represent the Deep South state in the U.S. Senate in nearly 150 years. Black voters say that, in itself, is historic and could signal change in the state burdened by a legacy of racial oppression and violence. Colom was declared the winner Wednesday following last week's midterms that saw Black people across the South elected to seats in Congress and statewide and local offices. Voters add that Colom's win was helped by white Mississippi voters who blame entrenched Republicans for current economic woes, including the high cost of food and gas. Brooklyn building collapse killed 2 children and 6 adults, mayor says NEW YORK (AP) — New York City’s mayor says two of the eight people killed when an apartment building collapsed in Brooklyn were children. A city official says the three-story building gave way Wednesday afternoon while construction workers were digging at a neighboring lot. The cause is still under investigation. Mayor Zohran Mamdani said during a news conference Thursday that two of the victims were construction workers. He says 18 people were injured in the collapse and rescue operation. The mayor has ordered safety inspections at about 100 building sites related to the companies involved in the construction project where the collapse occurred. Bond denied for South Carolina man accused of burying his 11-month-old son alive LEXINGTON, S.C. (AP) — The father of an 11-month-old boy who survived being buried alive in a dog crate for a day has been charged with attempted murder in South Carolina. Twenty-five-year-old Michael Comer was denied bond on Thursday morning. Authorities say Comer's son, Koah, was found by rescuers after about 24 hours and is expected to recover. The sheriff said Koah likely survived due to cool temperatures and an air pocket created by a towel. Comer has been in custody since Monday, when Koah was reported missing. In addition to attempted murder, Comer faces charges of burglary and unlawfully placing a child at risk.
