The Samueli family is investing $5 billion to redevelop 110 acres around Anaheim’s Honda Center into OCVIBE, a mixed-use district planned to include housing, restaurants, hotels, offices, open space and entertainment venues. The project is part of a broader trend: Visit Anaheim estimates that $262 billion is being invested in 107 sports-anchored mixed-use developments that are open, under construction or planned.
Key Facts
The Honda Center opened in 1993 and has long been surrounded by surface parking lots and industrial facilities.
The Samueli family bought the Anaheim Ducks in 2005 and began planning for the area’s redevelopment; the land-purchase process with the City of Anaheim began in November 2018.
OCVIBE will cover 110 acres around the Honda Center, with plans to replace 62 acres of surface parking with parking structures for 11,000 vehicles.
Plans call for 2,000 residential units, 36 restaurants, six bars, 168,000 square feet of office space, two hotels and 20 acres of open space.
The project will add a 5,000-seat concert hall alongside the 17,000-seat Honda Center.
Visit Anaheim says Disneyland draws 26.5 million visitors annually, who spend $6.8 billion per year in the city.
Visit Anaheim president Mike Waterman estimates that getting domestic visitors to stay one extra night could generate close to $1 billion in additional hotel occupancy revenue for Anaheim.

A jury at Winchester Crown Court heard Joanne Young’s account of an alleged 2023 incident in which she said she discovered a stranger in the bedroom while she was blindfolded and restrained. Her former husband, Philip Young, has admitted multiple sexual offences against her, while four other men are on trial and deny the charges against them.
Key Facts
Joanne Young told police she felt a hand on her wrist that she believed was not her husband’s, removed her blindfold and saw someone at the end of the bed.
She said she ran to the bathroom and locked herself inside after her husband told someone to “get down.”

Philip Young has admitted 14 counts of voyeurism, 11 of rape, 11 of administering a substance with intent, and other sexual offences.
The article says Young published more than 500 intimate images and videos of his ex-wife and recorded her private acts without her consent between 2010 and 2024.

Australia needs to recruit and train more sailors for the nuclear-powered submarines planned under the AUKUS deal, retired admiral Peter Briggs said. The Royal Australian Navy says 230 personnel are in its U.S. submarine training pipeline and expects 400 to be ready by 2030.
Key Facts
AUKUS is a $368 billion defence deal involving Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom.
Australia plans to acquire three to five U.S. Virginia-class submarines to replace its five Collins-class vessels.
A Virginia-class submarine can require up to 134 crew, nearly three times the number needed for a Collins-class vessel.
The Navy says about 145 of the 230 personnel in the training pipeline have completed U.S. nuclear-power training.
Briggs said Australia should triple the size of its submarine force and may need about 3,000 personnel.
The Virginia-class submarines are intended to bridge the transition to the larger SSN-AUKUS design being developed by Australia and the UK.
The USS Colorado is at HMAS Stirling for routine maintenance and training; officials say no radiological material will be transferred and nuclear-related exercises will be simulated.
From 2027, up to four U.S. and one UK nuclear-powered submarines are expected to rotate through HMAS Stirling under Submarine Rotational Force-West.

UK Chancellor John Healey’s budget sets out measures to reduce household energy costs and says the government will meet its fiscal rules. The Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts modest economic growth and falling government borrowing over the coming years, while the budget cites global pressures, including the war in Iran, as contributing to higher costs.
Key Facts
The government’s fiscal rules require day-to-day spending to be covered by tax receipts and public sector net financial liabilities to fall as a share of GDP in the third year of the forecast.
The Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts £15 billion of fiscal headroom in 2029-30 and £20 billion in 2030-31.
The OBR forecasts GDP growth of 1.2% this year and 1% next year, rising to 1.8% in 2029.
The OBR forecasts government borrowing to fall from 4.2% of GDP this year to 1.8% in 2030-31.
The government plans to extend a VAT cut on energy bills through July, which Healey said would reduce the annual price cap by £50.
The government plans to abolish gas standing charges for 23 million homes; it estimates two-thirds of households will save an average of £45 a year.
Households in council tax bands A to D will receive a £100 energy payment, at a stated cost of £2.6 billion.
Healey said fuel duty would be frozen for the 16th consecutive year.

The Justice Department asked a federal judge to block Mary Peltola and voting-rights groups from joining a lawsuit over Alaska’s Senate election.
