First Republic becomes second-largest bank failure in US history

Bank failure ... Texas shooting .... Ukraine ... Sudan ... Coronation

Listen to CNN 5 Things View in browser Monday 05.01.23 Today is the start of Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month — a commemorative time designated by Congress to celebrate the more than 24 million people in the US with roots in East Asia, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, Hawaii, Samoa, Guam, Fiji, Tonga, the Marshall Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands and other Pacific islands. Here's what else you need to know to Get Up to Speed and On With Your Day.   By Alexandra Meeks Bank failure   JPMorgan Chase is buying most assets of First Republic Bank in a deal announced today after the bank became the third in the US to fail since March. JPMorgan said it had acquired "the substantial majority of assets" and assumed the deposits, insured and uninsured, of First Republic from the FDIC, the independent government agency that insures deposits for bank customers. It makes the lender the second-largest bank failure in the nation's history. The move represents the latest effort by federal regulators to prop up consumer confidence in the banking system, which has now suffered three major bank failures in six weeks. First Republic Bank's 84 offices in eight states are set to reopen as branches of JPMorgan Chase Bank today during normal business hours, the agency said. Texas shooting   More than 250 officers from multiple law enforcement agencies are searching for the gunman accused of shooting and killing five people — including a young child — at a Cleveland, Texas, home after neighbors asked him to stop firing his rifle outdoors, officials said. The father of the child killed told CNN that he and two others walked over to the suspect's home to ask that he shoot his gun on the other side of his yard because the gunfire was making his baby cry. However, the suspect refused, charged into their home, and opened fire. He then fled the scene without leaving a trace. An $80,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to the 38-year-old suspect's arrest. The US has suffered at least 184 mass shootings in the first four months of this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive.  Sponsor Content by The Ascent If cash back is king, this card is royalty Even The Ascent's credit card experts couldn't resist.

Ukraine   Russia launched a fresh round of deadly missile attacks on Ukraine today, resulting in an unspecified number of casualties. This comes as Ukrainian officials are signaling that their much-anticipated counteroffensive could be launched imminently while Russia continues to build up its layers of defense. Meanwhile, the head of the Russian private military company Wagner has threatened to withdraw his mercenaries from the embattled city of Bakhmut if they don't receive more supplies from Moscow. Wagner's ongoing clashes with Russian generals and other defense officials are ramping up — even as the group continues to recruit hundreds of Russian convicts from prisons to bolster their forces in the region. Sudan   Thousands of foreign nationals have fled Sudan since fighting erupted between rival military forces more than two weeks ago, while many Sudanese remain stuck in the deteriorating conditions. The violence between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group that broke out earlier this month has left hundreds dead, including two Americans. The country remains at risk of a humanitarian disaster as those still trapped in their homes face shortages of food, water, medicine and electricity. Despite a number of nations evacuating their citizens, the US had maintained for more than a week that the conditions were not conducive to a civilian evacuation. But State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a statement Sunday that the US has now "facilitated the departure of nearly 1,000 US citizens from Sudan" with cooperation from global allies. Coronation   Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, her eldest son Charles III instantly became King. In the days that followed, he was formally proclaimed Britain's new monarch and now, after months of painstaking preparation, his coronation is nearly upon us. Heir to the throne for 70 years, Charles will be officially crowned in a magnificent and deeply religious ceremony on Saturday alongside his wife Camilla, Britain's new Queen. Thousands will gather at Westminster Abbey and the surrounding streets of central London to witness the public celebration. Buckingham Palace has said it "will reflect the monarch's role today and look towards the future, while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry."

El FBI ofrece recompensa por el sospechoso de masacrar a 5 de sus vecinos en Texas

Esto es lo que debes saber para comenzar el día. Primero la verdad.

Ver en tu navegador 1 de mayo de 2023   Sospechoso de masacre en Texas sigue prófugo. Violencia en Guayaquil. Ucrania alista su contraofensiva. El nuevo presidente de Paraguay. Además, lo que debes saber de la Met Gala de esta noche. Esto es lo que debes saber para comenzar el día. Primero la verdad.   Todas las víctimas de la masacre en Texas eran de Honduras   El FBI colabora en la búsqueda del atacante acusado de disparar y matar a cinco personas -entre ellas un niño- en una casa de Cleveland, Texas, después de que sus vecinos le pidieran que dejara de disparar su rifle afuera, informaron las autoridades. Hay una recompensa de US$ 80.000 por información que permita su captura. Todas las víctimas eran de Honduras y CNN habló con la madre de una de ellas. Al menos 10 muertos en Guayaquil tras ataque armado   La Fiscalía General de Ecuador inició una investigación de oficio por el asesinato de al menos 10 personas en un ataque armado que se registró al suroeste de Guayaquil. Esto ocurre dos días después de que resolvieran declarar "terroristas" a los grupos delictivos que operan en el país. El grupo Wagner amenaza con retirarse de Bakhmut   El jefe de la compañía militar privada rusa Wagner amenaza con retirar a sus mercenarios de la asediada ciudad oriental de Bakhmut si no reciben más munición para continuar la lucha. Las advertencias de Yevgeny Prigozhin llegan cuando Ucrania asegura que sus preparativos para una contraofensiva de primavera están casi completos. Esto marcaría un momento crucial en el conflicto. Santiago Peña, presidente electo de Paraguay   El presidente del Tribunal Superior de Justicia Electoral, Jorge Bogarín González, informó este domingo que la fórmula oficialista del Partido Colorado, liderada por Santiago Peña, obtuvo la mayoría de los votos en los comicios presidenciales. Derrotó con amplio margen a Efraín Alegre, candidato de la Concertación Nacional para un Nuevo Paraguay. ¿Quién es Santiago Peña el presidente electo de Paraguay? ¿Por qué se celebra el 1 de mayo el Día Internacional de los Trabajadores?   Aunque en principio se trataba de una celebración pagana para celebrar el inicio del verano, después coincidió con la Revuelta de Haymarket en el que murieron varias personas que luchaban por mejores condiciones laborales. Esta es la historia. ¿En qué países no es festivo el 1 de mayo por el Día Internacional de los Trabajadores y por qué? Cuba: Suspenden festejos de Día del trabajo por falta de gasolina Hoy es la famosa Met Gala 2023: lo que debes saber Para el Met Gala de este año los invitados deben ceñirse a la temática de la noche: "In honor of Karl", o un tributo al diseñador alemán Karl Lagerfeld, quien estuvo detrás de Chanel.
