Anderson Cooperhas addressed his exit from CBS'60 Minutes, explaining he wants to spend more time with his children.

As first reported by the online news siteBreaker, Cooper will be departing60 Minutesat the end of the current broadcast season, which ends in May. The veteran journalist has served as a correspondent on the long-running news program for two decades, in addition to hostingAnderson Cooper 360°on CNN.

"Being a correspondent at60 Minuteshas been one of the great honors of my career," Cooper said in a statement, per theAssociated Press. "I got to tell amazing stories, and work with some of the best producers, editors and camera crew in the business."

He continued, "For nearly 20 years, I've been able to balance my jobs at CNN and CBS, but I have little kids now, and I want to spend as much time with them as possible, while they still want to spend time with me."

Cooper has two sons born by surrogate, Wyatt Morgan Cooper (5) and Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper (4), whom he co-parents with his ex-partner, Benjamin Maisani.

The decision to step away from60 Minutescomes amidbehind-the-scenes dramaat CBS News. The network has seen several changes sinceBari Weisswas appointed editor-in-chief in October 2025, includingfirings,hirings, andpromotions.

60 Minutes, in particular, has been at the center of the drama. The show's long-time executive producer,Bill Owens, left in April 2025,stating,"It has become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it." This came amid CBS's parent company, Paramount, seeking to merge with Skydance, which required government approval.

In December,60 Minutesmade headlines again after Weiss pulled a report from correspondentSharyn Alfonsion the El Salvador mega-prison CECOT due to a lack of an on-camera response from the White House. While the report later aired in January,Alfonsi criticized Weiss' initial decisionas politically motivated.

Cooper's spokesperson told the AP that he had no further comment when asked whether his exit was related to Weiss' leadership. However, according to Oliver Darcy'sStatus newsletter,one source said Cooper wasn't aligned with the "rightward direction" of CBS News under Weiss and Paramount CEO David Ellison.

"He wasn't comfortable with the direction the show was taking under Bari, and is in a position where he doesn't have to put up with it," the source claimed.

In January,Status reportedthat Weiss was stalling one of Cooper's60 Minutesreports on the Trump administration accepting certain South African refugees.

"We're grateful to [Cooper] for dedicating so much of his life to this broadcast, and understand the importance of spending more time with family," CBS said in a statement. "60 Minuteswill be here if he ever wants to return."

Cooper will continue to host his show on CNN and will remain on60 Minutesfor the rest of the current season, with his final episode expected to air in May.

U.S. military strikes three more alleged drug boats in the Pacific and Caribbean

U.S. Southern Command announced that the military launched strikes on three alleged drug smuggling boats in the eastern Pacific and the Caribbean on Monday, killing 11 people.

"Intelligence confirmed the vessels were transiting along known narco-trafficking routes and were engaged in narco-trafficking operations," Southern Command said Tuesday ina post to X.

The strikes are the latest in a series of controversial military operations that have alarmed and frustrated congressional critics of the administration, although lawmakershave opted toallow the strikes to continue without prior congressional approval.

In the latest announcement, U.S. Southern Command alleged the three boats were "operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations." The post referred to those killed as "male narco-terrorists," saying that eight people were killed on two boats in the eastern Pacific and three were killed on a boat in the Caribbean. No U.S. troops were harmed, the post said.

The post also said the strikes were conducted at the direction of Marine Corps Gen. Francis Donovan, who serves as the commander of U.S. Southern Command.

The military has not provided evidence that the boats or people onboard were involved in drug trafficking or proof of the number killed. NBC News has not independently verified the military's claims.

The U.S. has launched more than 40 strikes that have killed more than 130 people,according to official estimates provided by the Defense Department.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth touted the strikes in a poston X, writing, "Turns out President's Day — under President Trump — is not a good day to run drugs."

The Trump administration has claimed the strikes are needed to stop the trafficking of drugs that are killing Americans, raising tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela — a major drug transit hub, the U.S. alleges.

Critics of the strikes have painted the administration's actions as lawless and irresponsible, criticism that reached a crescendo after reports that the militarystruck one of the boats twice, ultimately killing two survivors.

In January, the U.S. launched a direct military attack on Venezuela, extraditingPresident Nicolás Maduroand his wife to face narcoterrorism and other charges in the U.S. The Maduros have pleadednot guilty to the charges.

Acting Venezuelan President Delcy Rodríguez has maintained that Maduro is stillthe legitimate leaderof Venezuela. President Donald Trumptold reporters on Mondaythat he believes Rodríguez "probably has to say that" for political reasons., adding that he thinks she is "doing a very good job."

Measles cases in South Carolina rise by 12 to 962, state health department says

Feb 17 (Reuters) - South Carolina reported a surge to 962 measles cases on Tuesday, ‌state health data showed, including 12 additional ‌infections since Friday, as officials warned the widening outbreak ​could last weeks or months amid lagging vaccine uptake.

The outbreak, which began in October, has been centered in the northwest part of the state, ‌which includes Greenville ⁠and Spartanburg, according to the South Carolina Department of Public Health.

The South Carolina ⁠outbreak is part of the nation's largest measles surge in more than three decades, federal ​health data ​show.

Of those infected, 893 ​were unvaccinated, 20 ‌were partially vaccinated with one of the recommended two-dose measles-mumps-rubella vaccines, 26 were fully vaccinated and 23 had unknown vaccination status.

There are currently 127 people in quarantine and eight in isolation, the ‌state health department said.

Last ​week, U.S. Food and Drug ​Administration Commissioner Martin ​Makary, in an interview, urged Americans ‌to get vaccinated for ​measles.

"I think everyone ​in this administration has been pretty clear that the best way to prevent measles ​is to ‌get your kid vaccinated against measles," he ​said.

San Francisco International Airport expects delays starting in March

Travelers should expect delays atSan Francisco International Airportstarting March 30, as the airport will close one runway forsix months to perform repairs and improvements.

During this period, the San Francisco International Airport expects fewer than 10 percent of flights to be delayed by at least 30 minutes, as all arrivals and departures will be handled on the airport's two runways.

This closure should not affect which terminals are available for boarding, but it will affect flights' takeoff and landing schedules. If travelers are flying into or out of San Francisco's airport and have a connecting flight, folks should expect delays and plan accordingly when booking their tickets.

The airport will be repaving the surface layer on the right side of runway 1. In addition, Granite Construction Company will make improvements to adjacent taxiways, upgrading lighting and painting new striping and markings.

The total cost of the project is expected to be about $180 million, with the Federal Aviation Administration providing $92.1 million in funding for the improvements.

Travelers walk through the airport during holiday travel at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on December 22, 2025, in Arlington, Virginia. In November, the Department of Transportation announced their desire for travelers to start dressing up for flying. Citing an undeniable rise in bad behavior on airplanes, the DOT announced a new campaign meant to encourage civility in air travel.

Am I owed anything if my flight is delayed?

When it comes to delayed flights, it depends on the circumstances and the airline.

According to theU.S. Department of Transportation, if a flight is delayed for uncontrollable reasons, such as severe weather or local emergencies, the airline does not owe travelers anything extra.

If a flight is delayed for controllable reasons, such as refueling or crew issues, but the traveler has not waited more than 3 hours, airlines are not required to provide any compensation.

If a traveler's flight is delayed by more than 3 hours, airlines are required to provide some form of compensation, and each airline offers different forms, according to theU.S. Department of Transportation.

All major American airlines will provide passengers with a meal or a meal voucher.

However, some airlines, such as Alaska, Hawaiian, JetBlue, and Southwest, provide travelers with a credit or travel voucher in the event of a delay.

If a flight is delayed overnight, nearly all American Airlines flights, excluding Frontier, will provide passengers with complimentary hotel accommodation and transportation to the hotel.

All airlines can rebook a passenger on the same airline for no additional cost.

Yale head coach Tony Reno steps down, cites health concerns

Tony Reno stepped down as head coach at Yale on Tuesday, citing health reasons for the end of his 14-year run with the Bulldogs.

Reno, 52, was hired as the coach of the Bulldogs in January 2012 and led the team to its first FCS playoff berth in 2025. He helped Yale overcome a 28-point deficit in the second half of a 43-42 victory over Youngstown State in the first round before the team fell to eventual national champion Montana State in the second.

"Given my current health situation, I have made the decision to step down as head coach of Yale Football," Reno said in a statement. "When I arrived at Yale 14 years ago, I could never have imagined what this journey would become. The relationships formed, the moments shared, and the people I have been privileged to be surrounded by have changed my life and my family's lives forever. I am deeply grateful to the players, the coaches, and the staff who gave everything they had to Yale Football.

"From the very beginning, I spoke about honoring the proud tradition of Yale Football and fully embracing the responsibility that comes with leading this program. Together, we pursued excellence and built something truly meaningful. I am incredibly proud of the foundation we laid and confident in the future of Yale Football. Serving as the head coach of this program has been the greatest honor of my life."

Reno has guided Yale to five Ivy League titles and owns an 83-49 record during his time with the school. His win total trails only the legendary Carm Cozza in the history of the university.

"Coach Reno's leadership has been truly transformational," Bulldogs athletic director Vicky Chun said. "His impact on Yale Football, our department, and the university extends far beyond championships and wins -- it lives in the countless people he has inspired. Coach Reno led with integrity, humility, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, giving his whole heart to this program every day. He cared deeply about his players as people, challenging them to excel on the field, in the classroom, and in life. Coach Reno's devotion to Yale and to the young men he coached was total, and his legacy will endure for generations."

Yale immediately will begin a national search for the program's next head coach.
