Sale makes ‘Jodi’, a smaller relative of T rex, the ‘second most valuable dinosaur ever sold at auction’, Sotheby’s says

A rare skeleton of a Nanotyrannus, a smaller relative of the Tyrannosaurus rex, sold at auction in New York this week for $47.3m, making it one of the world’s most expensive fossils.

The skeleton, named “Jodi” after the person who found the remains in 2019, sold at Sotheby’s on Tuesday for $47.3m, “after a twelve-minute bidding battle that saw six bidders compete online and over the phones, before ultimately selling on the phone”, Sotheby’s said in a statement.

The trial of Lindsay Clancy, a former nurse accused of murdering her three children, is wrapping up its fifth week. On Friday morning, the defense rested, and the public attention to the case is at a fever-pitch — especially on social media. Clancy, 36, does not deny that she strangled her children, but has pleaded not guilty due to lack of criminal responsibility, also known as an insanity defense. She argues that she was in the throes of postpartum psychosis, a rare and devastating condition that can go unrecognized and untreated. Host Carter Sherman speaks with Jenna Amatulli, deputy head of news for Guardian US, about how the case has renewed attention on the fundamental shortcomings in the US's maternal healthcare system, and about why Clancy's story has captivated – and polarized – so many people

Closing arguments could come on Monday as prosecutors seek murder conviction over deaths of three young children

Lindsay Clancy’s defense in her murder trial rested on Friday after calling witnesses to testify about the ailing mother’s mental state and attempts to seek help before she killed her young children.

The defense wrapped more quickly than some expected given that the prosecution rested their case on Monday.

Secret Service says US president and first lady are safe and suspect is in custody after shooting incident in DC

• Suspect in custody after Trump evacuated in shooting incident

The White House correspondents’ dinner on Saturday night was upended by gunshots, prompting the immediate evacuation of Donald and Melania Trump.

Hundreds of guest including many senior government officials and journalists at the Washington Hilton ballroom hid under tables as US Secret Service agents with guns drawn rushed White House pool reporters out of the room and mentioned “shots fired”.

Jeff Carroll, the interim chief of police of the Metropolitan police department, said a suspect “charged a US Secret Service checkpoint” at the Washington Hilton armed with a shotgun, a handgun and multiple knives. He appeared to have been a “lone” gunman, he said

Washington DC mayor Muriel Bowser said the suspect was taken to a local hospital where he was being “evaluated”. “We have no reason to believe at this time that anyone else was involved,” she said.

Jeanine Pirro, the US attorney for the District of Columbia, said the defendant has been charged with felony firearms and assault charges.

A law enforcement official told the Associated Press that an officer was shot in a bullet-resistant vest, but is expected to be OK. Carroll, the DC police chief, said the investigation was “preliminary” but that investigators believed the suspect did fire a shot. Carroll said the suspect was not shot.

Trump rescheduled the dinner, posting on Truth Social later on Saturday: “The First Lady, plus the Vice President, and all Cabinet members, are in perfect condition. We will be speaking to you in a half an hour. I have spoken with all the representatives in charge of the event, and we will be rescheduling within 30 days.”

CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer said he was within a few feet of the shooter, and called into CNN to describe his observations. Blitzer said he saw “a very, very serious weapon. He starts shooting, and I happened to have been a few feet away from him. As he was shooting, of course, the first thing that went through my mind: is he trying to shoot me? And I don’t think he was trying to shoot me, but I was very close to him as the gunshots were fired and he was very very scary. But I’m OK, now.”

Wave of demonstrations comes a day after thousands marched through Minneapolis streets to protest ICE

Large protests spread across US cities on Saturday – including Minneapolis, New York City, San Francisco, Boston and Providence, Rhode Island – after 37-year-old Alex Pretti, a registered nurse living in Minneapolis, was shot dead by federal agents.

The wave of demonstrations come just one day after thousands marched through the streets of Minneapolis to protest against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Protesters again braved the extreme cold to speak out against the agency and show support for Pretti and others who have been harmed by the surge of immigration agents who have flooded the city in recent week.

A 60 Minutes episode investigating a brutal prison in El Salvador, which CBS News’s editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, pulled from the air on Sunday, appeared online on Monday after appearing on a Canadian TV app.
