U.S. regulators have approved the first cervical cancer testing kit that allows women to collect their own sample at home before shipping it to a laboratory, according to a medical device company.

Teal Health said Friday the Food and Drug Administration approved its Teal Wand for home use, offering a new way to collect vaginal samples that can detect the HPV virus that causes cervical cancer. Currently, HPV tests and Pap smears are performed at a health clinic or doctor’s office.

An influential federal panel recommended last year the use of self-collection of HPV samples to boost screening. The FDA also recently expanded the use of two older HPV tests for self-collection, but those must be done at a medical office or mobile clinic.

HPV, or human papillomavirus, is very common and is spread through sex. Most HPV infections clear up on their own, but persistent infection can lead to cancer of the cervix. Most cervical cancers occur in women who are inadequately screened, diagnosed or treated.

To collect a sample, a swab or brush is inserted into the vagina and rotated, then the swab is put into a tube or container and processed at a lab.

Newark airport’s ATC loses radar again

The air traffic controllers directing planes into the Newark, N.J., airport lost their radar Friday morning for the second time in two weeks.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the radar at the facility in Philadelphia that directs planes in and out of Newark airport went black for 90 seconds at 3:55 a.m. Friday. That’s similar to what happened on April 28.

That first radar outage led to hundreds of flights being canceled or delayed at the Newark airport in the past two weeks after the FAA slowed down traffic at the airport to ensure safety. Five controllers also went on trauma leave after that outage, worsening the existing shortage. It’s not clear if any additional controllers will go on leave now.

The number of cancellations of Newark departures jumped from the low 40s to 68 Friday after this latest outage to lead the nation, according to FlightAware.com. Newark ranks second in the number of canceled arrivals with 73, but that number also increased Friday morning. Nearly 400 delays were reported at the airport. Officials said there have been more than 1,700 cancellations and delays at the airport this week.

N.J. mayor arrested in immigration protest

Federal officials arrested Ras J. Baraka, the mayor of Newark, N.J., on Friday after a confrontation that also involved three members of Congress at a new immigration detention facility that is expected to play a central role in President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort.

Baraka, a Democrat who is running for governor of New Jersey, was taken to a separate federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Newark and charged with trespassing. He was released roughly five hours later and was greeted by a crowd that had grown throughout the afternoon to more than 200 supporters and included candidates for New York City mayor and prominent labor leaders.

Alina Habba, a lawyer for Trump who is now New Jersey’s interim U.S. attorney, said that Baraka had been arrested because he had “ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to remove himself,” and had chosen “to disregard the law.”

Videos taken by protesters show Baraka being taken into custody in a public area outside the front entrance gates of the facility, which is known as Delaney Hall and is expected to hold up to 1,000 migrants at a time.

Three members of New Jersey’s Democratic congressional delegation — Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez and LaMonica McIver — were at the building Friday for what they said was an oversight visit, and were allowed to enter. Federal officials described the lawmakers’ presence as a “stunt.”

Columbia suspends 65 students over protest

Columbia University has suspended dozens of students and barred alums and others who participated in a pro-Palestinian demonstration inside the school’s main library earlier this week, a school spokesperson said Friday.

The Ivy League institution in Manhattan placed more than 65 students on interim suspension and barred 33 others, including those from affiliated institutions such as Barnard College, from setting foot on campus.

Interim suspension generally means that a student cannot come to campus, attend classes or participate in other university activities, according to Columbia’s website. The university declined to say how long the disciplinary measures would be in place, saying only that the decisions are pending further investigation.

An undisclosed number of alums who also participated in the protest are also now prevented from entering school grounds, according to Columbia.

Roughly 80 people were arrested in connection with the Wednesday evening demonstration at the university’s Butler Library.

DOJ probing Texas mosque development

The Justice Department has opened an investigation into a planned housing development outside Dallas that would have a mosque at its center, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said Friday.

Cornyn, who will face Texas’ hard-right attorney general, Ken Paxton, next year in what could be a heated Republican primary contest for his own Senate seat, is the latest Texas Republican to challenge the development in the rural town of Josephine, Texas.

The project is backed by members of the East Plano Islamic Center, a mosque in Plano, about 20 miles from Josephine, and has drawn intense scrutiny from Republicans, including Gov. Greg Abbott, who have accused the planners of seeking to create an exclusively Muslim community and to impose Islamic law on residents.

In recent months, Abbott has directed several state agencies to investigate the development, known as EPIC City, suggesting it may have violated fair housing and financial laws, and that the Islamic center had conducted illegal funerals in its mosque.

Paxton has also initiated a criminal investigation.

A spokesperson for the Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Man charged after fatal TikTok prank

A Virginia man has been charged with second-degree murder after fatally shooting a teenager who was filming a prank for TikTok known as “ding dong ditch” with two friends around 3 a.m. Saturday, according to court records and local authorities.

The Spotsylvania Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a resident firing shots during a burglary and found two teenagers with gunshot wounds, the office said in a statement. One of the teenagers, Michael Bosworth Jr., 18, later died of his wounds. The second person was treated for minor injuries, and a third person in the group was unharmed, the sheriff’s office said. The two friends with Bosworth were both younger than 18.

The teenagers had been in the neighborhood to make a TikTok video, one of them told investigators in an affidavit filed in Spotsylvania Circuit Court. A “ding dong ditch” prank involves ringing doorbells or knocking on the front doors of houses before running away, and has become popular fodder for social media videos.

‘Glengarry’ director James Foley dies at 71

James Foley, a journeyman director best known for “Glengarry Glen Ross,” has died. He was 71.

He died earlier this week after a yearlong battle with brain cancer, his representative, Taylor Lomax, said Friday.

In his long and varied career, Foley directed Madonna music videos, 12 episodes of “House of Cards” and the two “Fifty Shades of Grey” sequels, but it was his 1992 adaptation of David Mamet’s foulmouthed Pulitzer Prize winning play that stood above the rest. Although it wasn’t a hit at the time, “Glengarry Glen Ross” wormed its way into the culture and grew into an oft-quoted cult favorite, especially Alec Baldwin’s made-for-the-film “always be closing” monologue.

Critic Tim Grierson wrote 20 years after its release that it remains “one of the quintessential modern movies about masculinity.”

Ukraine, Hungary trade allegations

Ukraine said that it has expelled two Hungarian diplomats on Friday, hours after the country’s main security agency said that it had arrested two people on suspicion of spying for Hungary by gathering intelligence on Ukraine’s military in the west of the country.

The allegations of spying were met with anger in Budapest, where Hungary’s Foreign Ministry expelled two Ukrainian diplomats for what it said were Ukraine’s own espionage.

The Security Service of Ukraine, or SBU, said in a statement that two suspects, both former members of the Ukrainian military, had been detained as members of a spying network, and that they each face charges of treason, which is punishable by life imprisonment. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha later said that two Hungarian diplomats were expelled.

It was the first time in Ukraine’s history that a Hungarian espionage operation had been discovered, the statement said.

Judge sets dates for Menendez hearings

Resentencing hearings for Erik and Lyle Menendez will move forward next week after a series of delays.

The brothers were sentenced in 1996 to life in prison without the possibility of parole for fatally shooting their entertainment executive father, Jose Menendez, and mother, Kitty Menendez, in their Beverly Hills home. The brothers were 18 and 21 at the time of the killings. LA County Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic on Friday set the hearings for next Tuesday and Wednesday.

The hearing was supposed to be about the defense attorneys’ request to remove the Los Angeles district attorney’s office from the case, but defense attorneys withdrew their motion. Prosecutors, meanwhile, tried again to withdraw the resentencing petition set under the prior district attorney. Jesic rejected their efforts.

Mexico sues Google over labeling of Gulf

Mexico has sued tech giant Google over its labeling of the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, a change made by U.S. President Donald Trump via executive order, Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said Friday.

Sheinbaum did not provide details of the lawsuit during her daily press briefing, but said that Google had been sued.

Mexico’s Foreign Relations ministry had previously sent letters to Google asking it to not label Mexican territorial waters as the Gulf of America.

Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The body of water has shared borders between the United States and Mexico. Trump’s order only carries authority within the U.S.
