BHP Group has been granted an additional week to persuade Anglo American Plc on its $49 billion takeover proposal, with discussions ongoing after BHP raised the bid for the third time. The main obstacle remains the disagreement over BHP's insistence on Anglo spinning off its majority stakes in two South African miners before proceeding with the deal. While progress has been made in aligning on valuation, the issue of who will cover costs imposed by the South African government remains a sticking point. The deal, if successful, would create the largest copper producer, but concerns persist over the deal's structure and potential impacts on current shareholders. The deadline for BHP to commit to a firm offer is set for May 29, coinciding with South Africa's national election, with approvals needed from various authorities including competition authorities and the central bank.

The NYPD has seized over 800 vehicles in the past three months in collaboration with other law enforcement agencies to combat the issue of "ghost cars" and reckless drivers in New York City. These operations resulted in 184 arrests, 6,082 summonses issued, and the identification of over $6.5 million in unpaid tolls, fines, and penalties associated with the vehicles.

The impending NCAA settlement in the federal House v. NCAA case, which calls for approximately $2.8 billion to be paid to players who were denied revenue opportunities from their name, image, and likeness, could potentially save March Madness and the NCAA as we know it. The settlement framework shifts the bulk of the payments away from big-name schools towards smaller conferences, with the NCAA and 27 leagues covering most of the costs over the next 10 years. This financial burden may deter major conferences from breaking off and forming a super league, at least for the foreseeable future.
