Two earthquakes near Malibu, one in Inland Empire rattle L.A. region

Two small earthquakes rattled the Malibu area Friday and Saturday, followed by another one in the Inland Empire.

The first Malibu quake was reported around 11:44 p.m. Friday and was registered as a magnitude 3.7, with an epicenter about 6.8 miles northwest of Malibu, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was felt across the Westside, San Fernando Valley and Ventura County as well as in the Los Angeles Basin and South Bay.

A second quake, which was measured as a magnitude 3.5, struck in roughly the same area at 6:30 a.m. Saturday. Residents in Ventura County reported feeling a sharp jolt, and the shaking triggered some car alarms.

A third quake, measured at magnitude 3.5, was recorded near the San Jacinto Mountains in Riverside County at 2:16 p.m. Saturday, with an epicenter several miles south of Idyllwild.

There were no reports of damage from any of the quakes.

UFC Vegas 102 results: Sooo … About last night | Cannonier vs. Robo Cop


Last night (Sat., Feb. 15, 2025), Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returned home to UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada for UFC Vegas 102. After a pair of international events, this was a standard Apex affair. A “Fight Night” event headlined by Middleweights and filled with Contenders Series products has become the promotion’s bread and butter, and this event was no different. Still, there was some fun scraps and cool finishes, which is really all we can ask for on a night such as this.

Let’s take a look back over at UFC Vegas 102’s best performances and techniques:

Cannonier Outlasts Robo Cop

It has to be said again: Jared Cannonier is fighting outrageously well for 40 years of age.

He spent most of the first five minutes weathering the storm. Gregory Rodrigues came out with the intention of destroying “Killa Gorilla” immediately, swinging hard punches in combination, finishing combos with knees and kicks. He floored Cannonier twice and stunned him several more times, but all the while, Cannonier kept his wits about him. He wrestled his way to safety a couple times, buying time and wasting Rodrigues gas tank.

By the second, “Robo Cop” was tired and needed a round to recover. Cannonier wisely established his jab and landed plenty of low kicks, bloodying up Rodrigues and slowing him down further. The Brazilian was ready to scrap again by round three, but the damage was done. His punches were no longer flooring Cannonier, who could now exchange with Rodrigues and land his own heavy shots.

It was a great, competitive round until Cannonier landed a fight-changing elbow in the closing seconds. Rodrigues crumbled, and the round ending only served to delay the inevitable by about 75 seconds. As soon as he was allowed, Cannonier swarmed Rodrigues and forced the finish.

Gritty and powerful, Cannonier still has plenty left to give at 185 pounds.

UFC Fight Night: Kattar v Zalal

Zalal Dances By Kattar

For 10 minutes, Youssef Zalal was untouchable.

“The Moroccan Devil” really utilized his footwork and feints beautifully to neutralize Kattar’s offense. He established the jab first and prevented his opponent from doing the same, meaning Kattar spent most of the fighting swinging at air or holding back because he knew he was going to miss. Zalal landed a lot of shots in the time, cutting up Kattar’s face and building a major lead.

Credit to Kattar, he tried to storm back in the third. As Zalal slowed just a touch, Kattar extended his combinations and finally began to land punches. It wasn’t too dramatic and it didn’t earn him back the win, but at least Kattar managed to find some success before the final bell.

UFC Fight Night: Shahbazyan v Budka

Golden Boy Rebounds

Edmen Shahbazyan smoked Dylan Budka in about 90 seconds.

Let’s be clear: that’s exactly what should have happened. Shahbazyan is way too talented to be in the cage with a nearly .500 fighter, and he proved as much. Shahbazyan has seen more than his fair share of career ups and downs, but this was a massive step back in competition.

“Golden Boy” did his job with a heavy counter right hand.

It’s also worth-noting that Shahbazyan looked in better physical shape than usual here, both leaner and more muscular. This win doesn’t prove much, but perhaps things are finally clicking into place for the former bluechip prospect? He’s still young enough to go on a run, so hope is alive even after quite a few bad losses.

Maybe — just maybe — this is the turn of a page, the start of a new and positive streak.

UFC Fight Night: Matthews v Delgado

Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC

A Vicious Debut

Jose Miguel Delgado’s UFC debut didn’t last long, but he made a strong first impression against Connor Matthews. The Contenders Series product entered the fight with a 100% finish rate, and his aggressive and precise striking made it clear how he’s built up that record.

Matthews scored a brief moment of control with his wrestling, but Delgado didn’t have any trouble escaping back to his feet. As soon as he opened up, his offensive abilities quickly became apparent. From either stance, he was immediately lining up big connections, culminating in a heavy 1-2 down the middle that floored Matthews. His killer instinct was on display too, as Delgado jumped his wounded opponent with accurate, powerful ground strikes to secure the finish.

The 26 year old from Arizona is definitely one to watch moving forward.

UFC Fight Night: Bonfim v Williams

Additional Thoughts

  • Nazim Sadykhov defeats Ismael Bonfim via first-round doctor stoppage: This was a great fight that ended too early. Bonfim started fast, dinging Sadykhov with quick punches and controlling the pace. Sadykhov struck back late in the first with a slick question mark high kick that really hurt Bonfim, possibly breaking his orbital. The Brazilian never fell and made it back to his corner, however, and there was some confusion between rounds about whether or not he could see. Bonfim certainly appeared to want to keep going, but the bout was called off anyway.
  • Gabriel Bonfim defeats Khaos Williams via second-round d’arce choke (highlights): Bonfim really outclassed his opponent here. Williams is known for his aggression and punching power, but neither were particularly useful when he hit a whole lot of air. Bonfim put together every element of his game to control distance and keep Williams back. He stranded him at distance with sharp jabs, heavy calf kicks, and even belly-poking front kicks, ensuring Williams’ big swings never reached him. When Williams got over-aggressive, Bonfim would change levels with a shot and drag him to the floor, where the Brazilian was a vastly superior grappler. The end sequence was a thing of beauty, as Bonfim continually tightened and cranked on the choke to score a buzzer-beater strangle and leave Williams out cold! Winner of four of his last five, the 27 year old could still develop into a serious contender in the years to come.
  • Valter Walker defeats Don’Tale Mayes via first-round heel hook (highlights): I cannot decide whether to laugh or cry. Mayes — SOMEHOW — entered this bout as a ranked Heavyweight, meaning Walter had an opportunity to break into the Top 15 in just his third UFC fight despite splitting his first two bouts. Laughably, Walker was easily able to ground Mayes, drop down on a heel hook, and secure an instant tapout in roughly a minute. I don’t know if Mayes has terrible knees, no idea how to grapple, or both … but he is likely the only fighter in UFC history to get tapped out by the heel hook twice by fighters who are not at all leg lock specialists! Yikes.

Patients ‘playing Russian Roulette’ with their lives amid NHS ‘scandal’ | UK | News

Patients ‘playing Russian Roulette’ with their lives amid NHS ‘scandal’ | UK | News


A lack of distinction between fully-trained doctors, physician associates (PAs) and anaesthesia associates (AAs) allegedly poses “a real danger” to patients.

The doctors’ union took its regulator to court this week over the “dangers” of a catch-all “medical professionals” term being applied to doctors and their less-qualified colleagues.

Dr Jatinder Hayre, a practicing doctor in the Midlands, writer and medical campaigner, said the rocketing number of PAs is a source of real concern – with patients who think they’re seeing a GP risking meeting “unregulated and unqualified” associates instead.

As the number of doctors in the NHS dwindles – due to “training bottlenecks, people going abroad and choosing other careers entirely” – a PA recruitment drive is on track to create 10,000 roles by the end of the decade, Dr Hayre said. 

The British Medical Association (BMA) is pursuing two cases against the General Medical Council (GMC) for the term “medical professional” to only be applied to doctors and to clarify PA and AA skillsets to the public – namely their lack of formal training.

Emily Chesterton, 30, died in 2022 after seeing a PA she thought was a GP and being misdiagnosed as a result. She was told her ankle pain was only due to a sprain when it was actually a blood clot which spread to her leg and lung, ultimately taking her life.

A separate case is also being brought against the GMC by Anaesthetists United alongside Ms Chesterton’s parents, seeking to define clear boundaries on the practices PAs are allowed to carry out. A Crowdfunder has been set up for the legal action, which is expected to be heard at the High Court in May.

The NHS ordered hospitals around England to stop substituting PAs for doctors on shifts after The Telegraph published data showing that the phenomenon was happening at over 30 hospitals around the country.

Rotas from the hospitals in question showed PAs and AAs picking up doctor shifts when their colleagues were off sick – despite having up to four years less training than their senior counterparts, and being required to always work under supervision.

“We can’t blame patients for not knowing who they’re seeing,” Mr Hayre told Express.co.uk. “Of course they’re going to assume that their appointment is with someone who is fully qualified – that’s not a radical concept. 

“I think the problem is greater than that and the focus on recruiting more and more PAs, essentially people who aren’t fully qualified, is a scandal. 

“I think the current court case is long overdue, and the practical implications will be limited,” he added.

“But hopefully it will represent a symbolic win and a path forward. It will force people to acknowledge that PAs aren’t, and cannot be, doctor substitutes.”

Mr Hayre also suggested there “could be many more Emily Chesterton’s out there”, warning that patients may be “playing Russian Roulette with their lives by placing it in the hands of a PA”.

Jenni Richards, the BMA’s lawyer, told the court that the GMC’s lack of clear distinction between the different roles “pose[s] significant concerns for public understanding of, and confidence in, the medical profession” as well as “[giving] rise to real patient safety concerns”.

The findings of the Government’s review into PAs, led by Professor Gillian Leng, is expected to be published in the spring, with insights into the role played by the health workers in comparison to junior and senior doctors. 

An NHS spokesperson said: “While we have always been clear that physician associates are not replacements for doctors, there are clear and ongoing concerns which we are listening to carefully and taking action to address – the Leng Review will gather insight from across the NHS, so that we have the evidence we need to tackle this issue head on and find a way forward that is the right one for patients and our staff.”

A spokesperson for the GMC said: “We have made it very clear [that] we will recognise and regulate doctors, PAs and AAs as three distinct professions.

“We have been consistent in saying that PAs and AAs must clearly communicate who they are, and their role in the team. We also expected them to always work under supervision and to practise within their competence.

“The registers on our website are clearly marked, so as to distinguish between the three professions we regulate. A prefix is used for PA and AA reference numbers, which provides a clear distinction between those two professions and doctors. In addition, each profession type is prominently labelled on our public-facing registers, and in search functions. This means that when patients search our registers it will be very clear whether an individual is a doctor, a PA or an AA.

“In preparedness for regulating PAs and AAs, we extensively and formally consulted with the BMA. From as early as 2021 we made the BMA and others aware of our intention to apply our core professional standards to doctors, PAs and AAs, and received no objections from them at all.

“The term ‘medical professionals’ is not a protected title, and it is an appropriate way to describe all the professional groups we now regulate.”

A written judgement for the High Court hearing, which took place on February 12 and 13, is expected at a later date.

Uber CEO Wants to Partner With Tesla, Musk on Autonomous Vehicles

Uber CEO Wants to Partner With Tesla, Musk on Autonomous Vehicles


During an earnings call last month, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the electric vehicle maker would start offering paid rides in June for its full self-driving robotaxi service. Now Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi is making it clear that he doesn’t want to compete with Tesla — he wants to partner with the company to offer robotaxi rides through Uber’s ride-hailing platform.

“Listen, no one wants to compete against Tesla or Elon if you can help it,” Khosrowshahi told technology analyst Ben Thompson in an interview published in Thompson’s newsletter Statechery on Thursday. “Their capabilities are pretty extraordinary, but I think the same economic laws apply to them.”

Khosrowshahi said that Tesla would benefit by allowing its robotaxis to offer rides through Uber. Instead of riders accessing the robotaxis solely through the Tesla app, they could tap into rides with the self-driving cars through Uber too.

Working with Uber could help maximize Tesla’s profits by expanding its reach. Uber completed an average of 33 million trips per day, according to the company’s latest earnings report.

“That is going to create much, much more revenue,” Khosrowshahi stated. “Ultimately that’ll increase the value of the Tesla so that the residual value of that car improves.”

Khosrowshahi added that if Tesla puts their robotaxis on Uber’s network, the self-driving cars would join 150,000 other Tesla vehicles on Uber today, adding to an established presence.

This isn’t the first time Khosrowshahi has indicated an interest in partnering with Tesla. In an interview with the Financial Times that aired in October, Khosrowshahi said that he would “love” to bring Tesla’s robotaxis to Uber when the technology was ready. He said that he aimed to collaborate with the autonomous industry, pointing to partnerships announced in late 2024 with Alphabet’s Waymo and Cruise.

Uber already has robotaxis on its app in certain areas through its partnerships, including Phoenix, Arizona, and Austin, Texas. The company put its own dreams of building a self-driving car to the side in 2020 when it sold its autonomous vehicle research division to self-driving startup Aurora.

Khosrowshahi told the Wall Street Journal last month that autonomous vehicles would take over Uber rides in the next 15 to 20 years, putting human Uber drivers out of work.

Khosrowshahi took over Uber in 2017, leading the company to its first annual operating profit in 2023. After reporting a loss of $1.8 billion in 2022, Uber reported an annual profit of $1.1 billion in 2023 and $2.8 billion in 2024.

Amazon ‘relieved’ after Hamas releases employee, Sasha Troufanov, taken hostage on Oct. 7

Amazon ‘relieved’ after Hamas releases employee, Sasha Troufanov, taken hostage on Oct. 7

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy sent a message to employees saying he was “incredibly relieved” that Alexander (Sasha) Troufanov was released from Hamas captivity after being held hostage for nearly 500 days.

“I’m incredibly relieved to share the news that our AWS teammate, Sasha Troufanov, who had been held hostage since the October 7, 2023, attacks in Israel, has been released from captivity,” Jassy wrote in a message to employees.

Jassy says that the company had a team of experts working with Troufanov’s family “behind the scenes” to secure his release.

The exec explained that Amazon “painfully” could not comment on Troufanov’s abduction publicly “for fear that we would negatively impact their ability to be released or how they were treated in captivity.”

Amazon faced criticism in May 2024 when it was revealed that Troufanov worked for the company, as many noted that the company hadn’t said anything publicly.

Some at the time speculated that Amazon was keeping quiet to protect itself and its brand.

However, billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, a vocal supporter of Israel, gave the online shopping giant the benefit of the doubt.

Troufanov was working at Amazon Web Services as an electrical engineer when he was kidnapped during Hamas’ deadly Oct. 7 attacks.

He was taken hostage with his mother, grandmother and girlfriend, all of whom were released in November 2023 while he remained in captivity.

Troufanov’s father was killed during the attacks.

“It’s been an extremely trying time for everybody who knows and cares for Sasha — a lot of angst and feelings of helplessness. But, it can’t approach what Sasha and his family have been through, and we will continue to support them and do everything we can to help them heal,” Jassy wrote in his February 2025 message. He also said that his “heart goes out to everyone impacted by the war” and expressed hope that there would be a “long-term peaceful path.”

On Saturday, Troufanov was released alongside Iair Horn and Sagui Dekel-Chen, who is an American citizen.

However, this almost did not happen as days before their release, Hamas threatened to delay it over alleged ceasefire violations by Israel. 

President Donald Trump then said Israel should “let all hell break out” if Hamas did not release all the remaining hostages by 12 p.m. eastern on Saturday.

The terror group eventually walked back its threat on Thursday, saying the release would go on as planned.

After more than 15 months of war, on Jan. 19, Israel and Hamas entered a ceasefire deal in which 33 hostages are expected to be released in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.

Jack Schlossberg Kennedy grandson, Letters

Kennedy trolls

I can only imagine how President John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy Onassis would be sickened by their foul-mouthed, spoiled brat of a grandson, Jack Schlossberg (“Kennedys’ heir-head,” Feb. 7).

The disgraceful way he targets both relatives and outsiders shows just how far we’ve fallen from the Camelot days.

(Though his mother isn’t exactly blameless either.)

All he’s demonstrating is how desperately he wants to be relevant.

Perhaps he should go back and watch some of his grandfather’s and uncle’s speeches to understand what they were really about.

How lucky we are that he deleted his social media.

Betsy Flor,

Putnam Valley

Chairman Trump

Of all the things that our rampaging president is doing to unalterably and negatively change our country, one of the most absurd has to be his takeover of the magnificent Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (“Quitting Kennedy Center,” Feb. 14).

President Trump is a man who has never demonstrated an appreciation for art and culture. His interest lies largely in sports, especially boxing.

How long will it be before the venerable institution is renamed Donald J. Trump Center for the Performing Arts?

Who will receive the once-prestigious Kennedy Center Honors in the future: Hulk Hogan or Mike Tyson, perhaps?

Oren Spiegler,

Peters Township, Pa.

Transplant reality

Refusing to implant a donor heart in an unvaccinated patient is based on science (“How Heartless!” Feb. 13).

Recipients of heart transplants receive immunosuppressive drugs to lessen the risk of organ rejection.

These drugs increase the risk of infections, including influenza and COVID, which can be fatal.

What’s truly heartless is losing a transplant recipient — and the donated organ — to a preventable illness, while 3,500 Americans on the transplant list await the life-sustaining gift of a new heart.

Mel Young,

Boca Raton, Fla.

Dim-light decision

It no longer shocks me to see “sane-washing” articles in many mainstream newspapers (“Trump to nix Biden restrictions on water-using appliances, lightbulbs: ‘Common sense standards,’ ” Feb. 11).

Why would a headline include “common sense standards” when the President Trump is demanding that the United States return to technology from the late 1800s and early 1900s?

It seems that Trump’s obsession with an earlier time is now driving policy in his administration.

LED lights are both energy-saving (up to 80%) and longer-lasting than the outdated technology of incandescent bulbs.

The average household can save up to $600 per year by using LEDs over traditional bulbs.

Using expensive, climate-damaging technology just so an old man can look younger seems a bit crazy.

George Gaines,

Boxford, Mass.

Rainbowland

Just when you thought American politics couldn’t get any sillier, Rep. Earl “Buddy” Carter is trying to rename Greenland to “Red, White and Blueland.”

(“Going for Greenland,” Feb. 11).

I had to double check the date to make sure it wasn’t actually April 1.

The situation is especially odd, considering that President Trump has reduced genders to male or female officially (despite reality) in an effort to defenestrate the colors of the rainbow.

You’d think that “Red, White, and Blueland” would be too flashy for Trump.

Dennis Fitzgerald,

Melbourne, Australia

Perplexity has its own ‘Deep Research’ tool now too


In a on Friday, Perplexity introduced a new tool called Deep Research that it says can conduct “in-depth research and analysis” to deliver detailed reports in response to your questions, and it’s free for limited use. It comes just a couple of weeks after OpenAI announced its own users… which itself followed Google’s December announcement of . Perplexity’s tool is available only on the web to start, but it will hit the iOS, Android and Mac apps soon too.

Perplexity says its Deep Research “excels at a range of expert-level tasks — from finance and marketing to product research” and takes about 2-4 minutes to come up with an answer, during which it “performs dozens of searches, reads hundreds of sources, and reasons through the material.” Once finished, its reports can be shared or exported as a PDF. The company claims it outperforms competitors — like OpenAI’s o3-mini and o1, and DeepSeek-R1 — on the Humanity’s Last Exam benchmark, earning a 21.1 percent accuracy score (though this is lower than OpenAI’s Deep Research scored).

Free users will be limited to five queries per day, while Pro subscribers will get 500, according to a tweet from the company.

I tried a strange road trip and had huge fun getting lost


The journey took me on a wide range of challenging roads the Peak District has to offer (Image: Jack Mortimer)

We spend too much time travelling with a sat-nav. Don’t get me wrong, I use Google Maps as much as the next person, and it has helped me find my destination without dozens of U-turns. But where’s the fun in that?

A growing number of drivers are realising this, spending their holidays by going on road trips where the main focus is not a particular attraction or venue, but the things that can be discovered along the way.

However, many of the most popular trips to make in the UK, such as the North Coast 500 in Scotland and the South Downs in Sussex still involve drivers sticking to certain roads and intently studying road maps.

To many, this is what’s expected for a road trip, but does it need to be this way? As part of their Everyday Adventure campaign, Dacia has suggested that drivers try out a spontaneous road trip, where motorists only plan the starting point and flip a coin to determine where they travel next.

To determine whether it could work, I decided to try it out for myself, taking one of the company’s latest generation Duster SUVs, just in case the coin led me off the beaten track.

As if the idea was not quite ambitious enough, I decided it would be a good idea to start my road trip at the infamous Snake Pass in the Peak District. If you think you’ve heard that name before, you probably have – traffic reports usually mention it is completely closed in snowy and wet conditions.

There’s a very good reason for this. In addition to the high altitude, narrow lanes and hairpin bends, the hilly surroundings are particularly susceptible to the odd landslide. When I visited, one stretch of the road was plagued with temporary traffic lights after an entire lane had crumbled to nothing and slid down the hill.

In all, Snake Pass is certainly not for the faint of heart and takes plenty of concentration, but is still a particularly enjoyable road. Besides, as it would turn out, it was far from the most challenging road I would encounter during the trip.

Approaching a junction, my passenger flipped the penny which confirmed it was time for us to to leave the famous pass for a much more narrow lane. In any other situation, I would never have given the junction a second look, and I felt somewhat nervous in case I was trespassing on a farmer’s private road.

Fortunately, I was quickly reassured by a National Trust sign which explained that the public is allowed on the little lane, which took us over a small bridge before running parallel with Snake Pass for a short while.

Unfortunately, the road did not lead us anywhere useful, so after a four-point turn to avoid plummeting down into a valley, we headed back onto the Snake Pass towards the Ladybower Reservoir.

I sadly don’t have anywhere near enough space to write about every road that the penny took us on, but by far the most ambitious was – Winnats Pass. Just past the village of Castleton, Winnats Pass is a much smaller road that winds its way through various limestone ridges.

Compared to Snake Pass, Winnats is significantly narrower. But don’t let the single open gate at either side of the pass fool you, this is not a quiet road. During my first time on Winnats Pass (that damn penny made me do it again later in the day), I was being tailgated by a lorry whilst doing my best to let oncoming traffic pass whilst not straying off the side of the track.

That said, there are very few public roads I have encountered that felt quite so entertaining to use. The twists and turns naturally mean that drivers will need to keep their speed down, but a slow pace will help to give drivers plenty of time to admire the views, particularly towards the top of the road, which overlooks 

On the whole, my penny-controlled road trip was undoubtedly entertaining, taking me to roads I would never have visited and through villages I had never even heard of, despite all being around two hours away from my doorstep.

Needless to say, there were a fair amount of U-turns and hair-raising moments, but isn’t that exactly what road trips are about? Even without any particular knowledge when I was there, taking the randomised route made me feel more inclined to do some research once I was home and certainly boosted my confidence behind the wheel.

I would definitely recommend that drivers with a day to spare and an adventurous spirit try out a penny road trip, but would remind them that they still should follow all driving laws – staying away from tracks marked ‘private road’ and letting a passenger do all of the coin flipping not to avoid distractions.
