Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said Friday she was left "stunned" by President Trump reportedly telling an Italian network that she had "wanted a picture with me so badly" at the G7 summit earlier in the week, and that he only said yes because he "felt sorry for her."

"She's probably happy I talked to her. I didn't have to talk to her," Italian TV channel La 7 quoted Mr. Trump as saying. The network only released an Italian voice-dubbed version of the conversation, so CBS News has not been able to verify his remarks.

"She begged me to take a picture with her. She wanted a picture with me so badly. I wouldn't have...More

The Trump administration says it is cutting student loan interest. Not everyone qualifies.

The Trump administration says it is cutting student loan interest. Not everyone qualifies.


The Education Department on Thursday said it is temporarily cutting interest rates for some federal student loan borrowers, a move aimed at easing repayment costs as delinquencies climb to their highest level in six years.

The reduction – a temporary shave of 1 percentage point from borrowing costs — comes as 10.3% of student loans were delinquent during the first quarter, representing the highest share in six years and a twenty-fold spike since mid-2024, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Student loan delinquencies are rising again
Delinquencies plunged in 2020 due to pandemic legislation that suspended federal student loan payments and set interest rates to 0%. When the payment pause ended in late 2023 and delinquency reporting resumed in early 2025, the share of borrowers seriously behind shot back...More

Raphinha injury clouds Brazil's win over Haiti as inconsistency continues to limit Selecao's potential

Matheus Cunha’s brace fueled a comfortable victory, but a non-contact injury to Raphinha clouds the Selecao’s World Cup outlook

Raphinha injury clouds Brazil's win over Haiti as inconsistency continues to limit Selecao's potential
Getty Images

In front of a sold-out crowd of 68,324, Brazil started the process of getting things back on the right track with a 3-0 victory over Haiti in the 2026 World Cup group stage, but it's a game that brings more worries than answers for Carlo Ancelotti as he looks to live up to the immense pressure that comes with managing the Selecao. The joy of Matheus Cunha's brace was cancelled out by an injury to Raphinha as a game that started brightly for Brazil led to an uncomfortable finish. It's also a match that saw Haiti become the first team eliminated from knockout contention due to already losing to Scotland.

It's a hamstring injury for Raphinha and one that Ancelotti says will be assessed on Sunday, but...More

A British actress has been charged with attempting to smuggle 700 pounds of methamphetamine into Australia from West Africa, according to CBS News' partner network the BBC.

Emaa Hussen, 34, who appeared in the 2013 action thriller "Redemption" with Jason Statham, and a spin-off of the U.K.'s long-running series "EastEnders" in 2010, appeared in a Sydney court Thursday to face accusations of trying to bring $208 million worth of meth into the country.

Police have said the drugs were hidden in bags of charcoal loaded into shipping containers sent from Ghana, according to the BBC. The maximum penalty Hussen could face is life imprisonment.

Matthew Ankrum knew he wanted to build generational wealth for his daughters while teaching them about financial stability. He just didn't know a coffee can would be the key to those lessons.

Ankrum, a financial analyst from Kansas City, Missouri, started "thinking about the world differently" as his family grew. He now has three daughters: Peyton, Morgan and Pierce.

"When you actually start thinking about creating a legacy, or kind of generational wealth, for your kids ... you don't think about it as in quarters or even years," Ankrum explained. "You start thinking about it in the decades."

He started studying "100-baggers," or stocks that have multiplied in value 100 times over the decades. He tried to figure out what those companies had in common, then used his...More

The stage — and the cage — were set Sunday at the White House as President Trump prepared to mark his 80th birthday with a long-planned night of UFC combat, and an announcement of a long-awaited deal with Iran to extend a ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Hours before it was to be signed, however, Israeli jets struck Lebanon's capital Beirut, killing at least three people.

"This morning's attack on Beirut should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran," Mr. Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
