All 31 workers escape uninjured after tunnel collapse in Los Angeles, say officials
UPDATE 3-All 31 workers escape uninjured after tunnel collapse in Los Angeles, officials say (Updates with fire department statement in paragraphs 1 and 2, details from media briefing in paragraphs 4-6 and 8) By Gnaneshwar Rajan and Shubham Kalia July 9 (Reuters) - All 31 workers escaped without injuries from a collapsed industrial tunnel in Los Angeles' Wilmington area, after scrambling over a tall pile of loose underground soil, city officials said late on Wednesday. The trapped workers were shuttled back to the tunnel's entry point, more than 5 miles (8 km) away from the affected area, after they escaped the collapsed section and met several coworkers in the unaffected part of the tunnel, the Los Angeles Fire Department said in a statement. The tunnel, which had a diameter of 18 ft (5.5 m), trapped 27 individuals, while four workers entered the damaged section to assist with rescue, LA Fire Chief Ronnie Villanueva told reporters in a media briefing. "The workers had to climb through debris. They had to make themselves out through," before they were assisted out, Villanueva said. Robert Ferrante, chief engineer and general manager of Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts, told the briefing that a section of the already built part of the tunnel experienced squeezing ground conditions and partially collapsed. "LAFD has just reported that all workers who were trapped in the tunnel in Wilmington are now out and accounted for. I just spoke with many of the workers who were trapped. Thank you to all of our brave first responders who acted immediately," Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said in a post on X. The collapsed section was a part of the Los Angeles County's Clearwater Project, where the new 7-mile tunnel is being built to upgrade the region's sewer system, officials added.

US Coast Guard responding to cargo ship fire near Alaska; no injuries reported
(Reuters) -The U.S. Coast Guard said on Wednesday it was responding to a fire on board a 600 foot (183 m) cargo ship near Alaska, but added that no injuries had been reported. The ship, Morning Midas, had 22 people on board and was located 300 miles (482.8 km) southwest of Adak in Alaska. The ship's crew was actively fighting the fire, the coast guard said. The Liberia-flagged cargo ship's destination was set for Lazaro Cardenas in Mexico, according to LSEG data. The coast guard said that aircrews and a cutter ship were en route to assist with the situation, and three vessels were already on scene. The U.S. Coast Guard and the ship's owner Hawthorn Navigation Limited did not immediately reply to requests for comment.

Microsoft's security researchers observed that, in the fall, individuals they believed to be connected to DeepSeek exfiltrating a large amount of data using the OpenAI's application programming interface (API), the report said. OpenAI's API is the main way that software developers and business customers buy OpenAI's services. Microsoft, the largest investor for OpenAI, notified the company of suspicious activity, according to the Bloomberg report. Low-cost Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, an alternative to U.S. rivals, sparked a tech stock selloff on Monday as its free AI assistant overtook OpenAI's ChatGPT on Apple's App Store in the United States. David Sacks, the White House's AI and crypto czar, told Fox News in an interview earlier on Tuesday that it was "possible" that DeepSeek stole intellectual property from the United States. "There's substantial evidence that what DeepSeek did here is they distilled the knowledge out of OpenAI's models," Sacks said. An OpenAI spokesperson echoed Sacks in a statement, noting that China-based companies and others were constantly attempting to replicate the models of leading U.S. AI companies, without specifically naming DeepSeek or any other company. "We engage in counter-measures to protect our IP, including a careful process for which frontier capabilities to include in released models, and believe as we go forward that it is critically important that we are working closely with the U.S. government to best protect the most capable models from efforts by adversaries and competitors to take U.S. technology." OpenAI did not directly address comments on the Bloomberg report. Microsoft did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for a comment outside regular business hours, while DeepSeek could not be immediately reached for a comment.
