King Charles and Queen Camilla are on a state visit to the US despite security concerns after the alleged asassination attempt on Donald Trump. The US President and other senior politicians were evacuated from a Washington press dinner on Saturday night after shots were fired in the hotel venue. But King Charles and Queen Camilla landed as planned on Monday night, April 27, after some operational changes were made to ensure the visit runs smoothly.

They were driven in a motorcade to meet Trump and the First Lady for afternoon tea as part of plans to commemorate the 250th anniversary of US independence. They proceeded to the White House, where they were greeted by Trump and first lady Melania Trump. The four stood briefly for photographers before retreating inside for a private tea.

Two years ago, Josephine Timperman arrived at college with a plan. She declared a major in business analytics, figuring she’d learn niche skills that would stand out on a resume and help land a good job after college.

But the rise of artificial intelligence has scrambled those calculations. The basic skills she was learning in things like statistical analysis and coding can now easily be automated. “Everyone has a fear that entry-level jobs will be taken by AI,” said the 20-year-old at Miami University in Ohio.

A few weeks ago, Timperman switched her major to marketing. Her new strategy is to use her undergraduate studies to build critical thinking and interpersonal skills — areas where humans still have an edge. 

“You don’t just want to be able to code. You want to be able to have a conversation, form relationships and be able to think critically, because at the end of the day, that’s the thing that AI can’t replace,” said Timperman, who is keeping analytics as a minor and plans to dive deeper into the subject for a one-year master’s program.

President Donald Trump is unhappy with the latest Iranian proposal aimed at resolving the two-month-old conflict, according to a U.S. official.

The disagreement centers on Iran’s plan to set aside discussions regarding its nuclear program until the war has concluded and disputes over Gulf shipping are fully resolved.

“That is unlikely to satisfy the U.S., which says nuclear issues must be dealt with from the outset, and Trump was unhappy with Iran's proposal for that reason,” a U.S. official stated on the condition of anonymity following the president's Monday briefing with advisers.
