8 dead in 'one of the worst maritime smuggling tragedies' off San Diego beach |
At least eight people were dead after two migrant smuggling boats capsized off a San Diego beach in a suspected human-smuggling operation, authorities said. "This is one of the worst maritime smuggling tragedies that I can think of in California, certainly here in the city of San Diego," said James Gartland, chief of the lifeguard division in San Diego. Gartland said a woman called 911 at about 11:30 p.m. Saturday, saying she was on a boat that made it to the shore but a second small fishing boat had capsized, and eight people were in the water. Recovery efforts resumed on Sunday after heavy fog hampered the search. Authorities said some survivors may have escaped on land.

US, UK governments take extraordinary steps to prevent bank panic |
The U.S. and British governments stepped in to stop a potential banking crisis after the historic failure of Silicon Valley Bank. U.S. regulators worked all weekend to try to find a buyer for the California-based bank, whose collapse was the second-largest bank failure in history. Those efforts appeared to have failed Sunday. But U.S. officials assured all depositors that they could access all their money quickly. The announcement came amid fears that the factors that caused the bank to fail could spread – regulators announced that New York-based Signature Bank had also failed and was being seized on Sunday. British officials worked throughout the weekend to find a buyer for the U.K. subsidiary of Silicon Valley Bank. HSBC said it will acquire Silicon Valley Bank UK Ltd for one pound ($1.21).

US turns to new ways to punish Russian oligarchs for war in Ukraine |
The U.S. has begun an aggressive new push to inflict pain on Russia's economy and specifically its oligarchs with the intent of thwarting the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine. U.S. officials will focus on efforts to legally liquidate the property of oligarchs, expand financial penalties on those who facilitate the evasion of sanctions, and close loopholes in the law that allow oligarchs to use shell companies to move through the U.S. financial system. Meanwhile, a leading think tank says Russia's advance seems to have stalled in the campaign to capture Bakhmut. The Washington-based Institute for the Study of War said late Saturday that there were no confirmed advances by Russian forces in the eastern Ukrainian city.
