Rising Temperatures Could Melt Most Himalayan Glaciers by 2100 – The New York Times
Rising Temperatures Could Melt Most Himalayan Glaciers by 2100 – The New York Times

The Hindu Kush Himalaya Assessment touches on the phenomenon of elevation-dependent warming. Though it is well known that temperature changes due to increased levels of greenhouse gases are amplified at higher latitudes, like in the Arctic, there is growing evidence that warming rates are also greater at higher elevations.

“Mountain people are really getting hit hard,” said David Molden, the director general of the International Center for Integrated Mountain Development, the research center near Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital, that led the study. “We have to do something now.”

Around South Asia, the impact of climate change has already intensified. Brutal heat waves are becoming unbearable, making people sicker and poorer, and diminishing the living standards of 800 million people.

Access to water is also a concern. Last spring, shortages were so severe in the Indian city of Shimla, in the Himalayas, that some residents asked tourists to stop visiting so that they would have enough water for themselves.

A government report released last year found that India was experiencing the worst water crisis in its history. About half of India’s population, around 600 million people, faced extreme water scarcities, the report found, with 200,000 people dying each year from inadequate access to safe water.

By 2030, the country’s demand for water is likely to be twice the available supply.

In neighboring Nepal, rising temperatures have already uprooted people. Snow cover is shrinking in mountain villages, and rain patterns are less predictable. Fertile land once used for growing vegetables has become barren.

“Water sources have dried up,” said Pasang Tshering Gurung, a farmer from the village of Samjong, which is about 13,000 feet above sea level.

Leak of Trump’s schedules a ‘disgraceful breach of trust’: White House – ABC News
Leak of Trump’s schedules a ‘disgraceful breach of trust’: White House – ABC News

A new leak of three months worth of President Donald Trump‘s daily schedules has provoked anger among top White House aides and allies of the president, echoing the early days of Trump’s presidency during which leaks seemed to plague the administration on a near-daily basis.

Axios reported Sunday on the series of schedules provided by “a White House source,” which revealed according to their analysis that the president spends “around 60% of his scheduled time over the past 3 months in unstructured “Executive Time.””

The internal schedules offered significantly more insight into the president’s daily activities compared to the ‘Daily Press Guidance’ provided to the public.

The White House did not dispute the authenticity of the schedules and instead set their sights on publicly trashing the official responsible for the leak.

“What a disgraceful breach of trust to leak schedules,” Director of Oval Office Operations Madeleine Westerhout wrote on Twitter Sunday. “What these don’t show are the hundreds of calls and meetings [President Trump] takes everyday. This [president] is working harder for the American people than anyone in recent history.”

In a statement to Axios, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said the schedules showed that “President Trump has a different leadership style than his predecessors and the results speak for themselves.”

Sanders declined to comment further on the story and whether the White House planned to mount an internal investigation similar to previous major leaks.

Several conservatives and allies of the president expressed similar concern over the leak and also defended the president from accusations that the unstructured time in his schedule proves he’s not productive.

The ‘Executive Time’ moniker grew to prominence over a year ago following a similar leak of internal schedules, which showed the blocks of time spent by the president away from the Oval Office often lined up with his habit of tuning in to cable news and tweeting out observations or grievances.

“Disgusting that someone would leak this,” tweeted Marc Thiessen, an AEI fellow and former speechwriter for President George W. Bush. “An appalling breach of trust.”

“The distortions of the hate Trump movement are never more obvious than in the reaction to the President’s leaked schedule,” Trump ally Newt Gingrich said.

Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt went as far to suggest that the leak could be dangerous to national security.

The controversy mirrored previous major leaks that roiled the White House, including the publishing of the president’s call transcripts with the leaders of Mexico and Australia in 2017 and details of the president’s private conversation with the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in the Oval Office following FBI Director James Comey’s firing.

Such episodes have fueled the belief among the president and many supporters of the existence of a wider ‘deep state’ embedded in his presidency aiming to undermine or embarrass him in order to thwart his agenda.

The White House in the past has repeatedly said it was working to root out such officials through internal investigations, including the author of an anonymous op-ed posted in the New York Times by an official who identified themselves as a member of the “Resistance inside the Trump Administration.”

Updated at 9:45 a.m. ET

At least five people were killed Sunday when a plane apparently broke apart in the air and plummeted into a neighborhood in Yorba Linda, Calif. The pilot died, along with four people in a house hit by wreckage. Officials aren’t sure what caused the crash.

Two of the victims owned the two-story stucco house that was hit and was engulfed in a raging fire, said Lt. Cory Martino of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.

Several witnesses described a dramatic scene in which the aircraft, a 1981 twin-engine Cessna 414, burst into flames and began breaking apart even before it hit the house. Security surveillance footage seemed to confirm that version of events, showing the out-of-control plane trailing black smoke as it fell to the ground.

“The plane blew up about 100 feet off of the ground. The plane blew up in the sky,” neighbor Jared Bocachica told local TV station KTLA news. “I come out … it’s raining plane parts from the sky.”

The plane had taken off from nearby Fullerton Municipal Airport early Sunday afternoon, said aviation investigator Eliott Simpson of the National Transportation Safety Board. Citing radar data, he said the Cessna had climbed to about 7,800 feet — but after flying around 10 miles, it made a rapid descent.

“The airplane appeared to break up in the latter stages of the flight,” Simpson said at a news conference Sunday night.

Wreckage has been found over a span of some four blocks. A wing was in part of one street; an engine fell onto another, punching a gaping hole in the asphalt. The main cabin and an engine landed in a backyard, a few feet away from a gazebo.

The identities of those killed have not been released; police say the pilot, who was flying alone, was a man, and that there were two men and two women in the house.

The crash prompted dozens of residents to rush out of their houses to assess damage and try to help. Some used fire extinguishers and hoses to put out smoldering flames. Around the corner from the burning house, another home had a broken window and a shattered porch pillar. Part of the plane’s propeller lay in the driveway.

It will take at least 24 hours to collect all the wreckage that was strewn around the neighborhood, Simpson said. The NTSB and other agencies are investigating what may have caused the deadly crash, with the help of Cessna and the company that built the plane’s engines, Simpson said.

(CNN)During a free-wheeling press conference to address a racist photo on his medical school yearbook page, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said he wouldn’t be surprised if other photos like that were found in the 1984 Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook.

    Virginia Capitol Thrown Into Chaos as Pressure on Northam Intensifies – The New York Times
    Virginia Capitol Thrown Into Chaos as Pressure on Northam Intensifies – The New York Times

    By Monday morning, Mr. Northam had spent more than 60 hours in deepening political isolation, abandoned by Democrats who quickly came to see his diminished standing as a burden on two fronts: their policy agenda, including matters like teacher pay and tax policy, and their efforts to capture control of the House of Delegates and the Senate this year. Both chambers are within reach for the party, which has made gains throughout the state in recent years.

    “It has created a dark cloud,” said Mark L. Keam, a legislator from Northern Virginia who was among the Democrats afraid of a loss of leverage as long as Mr. Northam remained the titular head of the party in Virginia.

    “Right now,” he added on Sunday, “the issue that we must resolve is how the governor presides over the current legislature.”

    This week is among the most crucial for the General Assembly, which faces an all-important deadline for bills to advance.

    Mr. Northam, who attended his longtime church on Virginia’s Eastern Shore on Sunday morning, has commented publicly just three times since the photograph emerged online on Friday. He first issued a statement on Friday, when he said he was “deeply sorry for the decision I made to appear as I did in this photo and for the hurt that decision caused then and now” and indicated that he would seek to serve out his term, set to expire in 2022. A video message released a short time later reiterated the governor’s position.

    But on Saturday, Mr. Northam stunned Richmond when he reversed course and said he had concluded that he was not, in fact, in the photograph on his yearbook page. “It was definitely not me,” Mr. Northam said at a news conference. “I can tell by looking at it.”

    Covington high school student, lawyers prepare for possible libel fight, release video of ‘the truth’ – Fox News
    Covington high school student, lawyers prepare for possible libel fight, release video of ‘the truth’ – Fox News
    Video

    Do the Covington Catholic High School students have a case to sue for libel?

    Employment attorney Silvia Stanciu and National Center for Life and Liberty general counsel David Gibbs debate whether or not the Covington Catholic students have a case to sue for libel.

    More than 50 media organizations, celebrities and politicians were sent letters from lawyers representing the Covington Catholic High School student seen in a controversial viral video — the first step in a possible libel and defamation lawsuit — and the teen’s legal team also released a 15-minute video that they say shows “the truth” about his interactions at last month’s March For Life.

    Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., actors Alyssa Milano and Jim Carey, media organizations CNN, the New York Times and the Washington Post and the Diocese of Covington were among the dozens recently sent preservation letters, the text of which advised the parties not to destroy any documents in connection with the case. The Cincinnati Inquirer first reported on Friday the initial list of organizations, and attorney Todd McMurtry confirmed to Fox News on Monday that more organizations or individuals could also receive letters.

    “It’s an enormous pool of possible defendants,” he said, adding only one party had responded to the letter, though he did not say which.

    COVINGTON BISHOP APOLOGIZES FOR PREMATURELY CONDEMNING STUDENTS IN VIRAL INCIDENT WITH NATIVE AMERICAN ELDER

    McMurtry, of the Hemmer DeFrank Wessels law firm in Ft. Mitchell, Kentucky, is part of the legal team representing Nick Sandmann, the Kentucky teenager vilified online after a viral video widely misrepresented him allegedly harassing a Native American man following a pro-life demonstration on Jan. 18 at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

    The incident sparked massive and widespread criticisms of Sandmann, who was seen in a brief snippet of the encounter smiling while standing in front of activist Nathan Phillips, and Sandmann’s classmates.

    Subsequent videos revealed the students – some, including Sandmann, wearing red “Make America Great Again” hats – were actually accosted and yelled at before Phillips and other Native American activists approached them. Another group – the so-called Black Hebrew Israelites – were heard and seen shouting at the students.

    Both school officials and the Native Americans involved have said they’ve received death threats since the encounter.

    McMurtry told the Inquirer the aftermath of the incident “permanently stained [Nick’s reputation]” and that the organizations and individuals addressed in the letters may have defamed or libeled Nick with false reporting.

    He told Fox News that not everyone who received the letter could be called to defend themselves in a court, but that they have basis to believe that they could be sued. He added the documents that should be preserved for any future litigation include any drafts of stories, emails between colleagues discussing the incident, and, for celebrities and individuals, any tweets or statements sent to the public.

    Video

    A spokeswoman for the Covington Diocese declined to comment. Emails to other organizations and individuals were not immediately returned.

    KENTUCKY TEEN IN VIRAL VIDEO SAYS HE DID NOTHING PROVOCATIVE: ‘I HAD EVERY RIGHT’ TO STAND THERE

    In addition to the letters, Sandmann’s legal team – which includes L. Lin Wood, a nationally-recognized attorney in the fields of libel, defamation and the First Amendment – also released a 15-minute video they say show “the truth” of what happened at the March for Life event.

    “2 weeks ago, the mainstream media, politicians, church officials, commentators & celebrities rushed to judgment to wrongfully condemn, threaten, disparage & vilify Nick Sandmann based solely on a few seconds of an out-of-context video clip. It only takes 15 minutes to learn the truth,” the video description, posted on YouTube, stated.

    On Twitter, Wood added: “Some say a 15-minute video is too long to go viral. Will we allow incomplete 30-second video clips to be basis for agenda-driven false accusations & threats against a 16-year old student? Please share the full truth about what was done to Nick Sandmann.”

    Wood did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment Monday.

    “For the mob to just go tear apart a 16-year-old boy is inexcusable,” McMurtry told the Inquirer. “He’ll never be able to get away from this.”

    Trump is teasing bombshells for his State of the Union address. They could include a national emergency over the wall and a new summit with Kim Jong Un. – INSIDER
    Trump is teasing bombshells for his State of the Union address. They could include a national emergency over the wall and a new summit with Kim Jong Un. – INSIDER

    • President Donald Trump is teasing show-stopping announcements he may include in his State of the Union address on Tuesday.
    • Ideas he has publicly toyed with include the declaration of a national emergency to secure border-wall funding and the confirmation of a second meeting with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.
    • Trump’s goal with an emergency declaration would be to spend money on a border wall without approval from Congress, though a new poll indicates it would be an unpopular move.
    • In an interview that aired Sunday, Trump also said that his next meeting with Kim “is set” and that he would most likely reveal details like the date and venue on Tuesday.

    President Donald Trump has been teasing bombshells that he may drop during his State of the Union address on Tuesday night.

    Trump has publicly mulled using the speech to declare a national emergency over illegal immigration and to confirm a new summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

    Asked whether he would declare a national state of emergency, Trump told reporters on Friday to “listen closely” to the address.

    Trump has mulled declaring an emergency as a way of getting money to build a wall along the southwestern US border without the approval of Congress.

    The inability of Trump and lawmakers to agree on wall funding caused a record-breaking partial government shutdown, which stretched from late December to the end of January.

    On Friday, when asked whether people should expect him to declare a national emergency, Trump said: “I think there’s a good chance that we’ll have to do that. But we will at the same time be building, regardless, we’re building a wall. And we’re building a lot of wall. But I can do it a lot faster the other way.”

    He hinted that the State of the Union was where he would announce the move.

    “Well, I’m saying listen closely to the State of the Union,” he said. “I think you’ll find it very exciting.”

    Trump told The New York Times last week that declaring a national emergency might be his chosen route to try to get the wall built.

    “I’ll continue to build the wall and we’ll get the wall finished,” he said. “Now whether or not I declare a national emergency — that you’ll see.”

    He continued to call the issue an “emergency” on Sunday, when speaking on the CBS show “Face the Nation.”

    “It’s national emergency, it’s other things and you know there have been plenty national emergencies called,” he said.

    CNN last month reported that the White House was preparing a draft national emergency declaration and had identified where it could get the money for a wall.

    Such a move would appear to be unpopular. In a CBS poll published Sunday, 66% of Americans said Trump should not declare a national emergency if Congress did not fund a wall.

    Trump raised the issue of the border wall again on Sunday, writing on Twitter that “Republicans must be prepared to do whatever is necessary for STRONG Border Security.”

    “Dems do nothing,” he wrote. “If there is no Wall, there is no Security. Human Trafficking, Drugs and Criminals of all dimensions – KEEP OUT!,”

    A bipartisan group of lawmakers are working to reach a compromise on border security before government funding runs out February 15, when another government shutdown could begin.

    In an interview that aired Sunday, Trump told CBS he would not take the prospect of another shutdown “off the table.”

    Another summit with Kim Jong Un

    Trump also said in the Sunday interview that his next meeting with North Korea’s leader “is set” and that he would reveal details about the planned meeting “probably State of the Union or shortly before.”

    Trump said the US and North Korea had “made tremendous progress” and contradicted the belief of Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats that Kim was unlikely to surrender his nuclear weapons. “That’s what the intelligence chief thinks,” he said.

    Trump instead reiterated his belief that the countries could come to an agreement, saying “there’s also a very good chance that we will make a deal.”

    “It has a chance to be one of the great economic countries in the world,” he said. “He can’t do that with nuclear weapons and he can’t do that on the path they’re on now.

    “I like him. I get along with him great. We have a fantastic chemistry.”

    Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax issued a forceful pre-dawn denial on Monday to an allegation of sexual assault that surfaced after 15 years, in the latest political bombshell to rock Richmond where Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam is battling resignation calls over a racist photo from his medical school yearbook.

    Fairfax, who would be next in line for governor should Northam bow to pressure and resign, called the allegation “defamatory” and “false.”

    NORTHAM HAS UNSCHEDULED STAFF MEETING AMID CALLS FOR RESIGNATION: REPORT

    “Lt. Governor Fairfax has an outstanding and well-earned reputation for treating people with dignity and respect,” the statement from his office read. “He has never assaulted anyone—ever—in any way, shape, or form.”

    The allegation was first posted by Big League Politics, the same political blog that published the now-infamous yearbook photo showing someone in blackface and someone in a KKK costume, from Northam’s 1984 yearbook page. Despite initially apologizing for appearing in the photo, he now denies either of the individuals is him.

    The blog, in the post that prompted Fairfax’s denial, claimed that a fellow at Stanford University said a man sexually assaulted her at the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, Mass.

    “Imagine you were sexually assaulted during the DNC Convention in Boston in 2004 by a campaign staffer. You spend the next 13 years trying to forget it ever happened. Until one day you find out he’s the Democratic candidate for statewide office in a state some 3000 miles away, and he wins that election in November 2017,” a post from the reported accuser said, according to the blog. “Then, by strange, horrible luck, it seems increasingly likely that he’ll get a VERY BIG promotion.”

    She did not name Fairfax, but the report implied she was referring to the lieutenant governor, who then responded to it.

    But in his denial, Fairfax explained that the accuser “first approached the Washington Post” over a year ago, prior to his inauguration in 2018.

    “The Post carefully investigated the claim for several months,” Fairfax’s office said in a statement. “After being presented with facts consistent with the Lt. Governor’s denial of the allegation, the absence of any evidence corroborating the allegation, and significant red flags and inconsistencies within the allegation, the Post made the considered decision not to publish the story.”

    Fairfax’s office added: “Tellingly, not one other reputable media outlet has seen fit to air this false claim. Only now, at a time of intense media attention surrounding Virginia politics, has this false claim been raised again.”

    “The Lt. Governor will take appropriate legal action against those attempting to spread this defamatory and false allegation,” the statement read.

    The denial comes amid a political firestorm in Virginia, as a photo of the governor emerged showing a man in blackface and another in Ku Klux Klan garb in his 1984 medical school yearbook.

    Northam, on Saturday, denied being in the photo, despite admitting to being in the picture a day earlier, and instead acknowledged darkening his face for another occasion that same year, when he dressed as singer Michel Jackson as part of a talent contest.

    He explained that he initially admitted to being in the photo, but “in the hours since I made my statement, I reflected with family and classmates from that time and it affirmed my conclusion that I am not the person in that photograph.”

    Northam called the image “offensive” and “racist,” but said he had nothing to do with the preparation of the yearbook and did not purchase it.

    Northam asserted repeatedly over the weekend that he would not resign from his post, despite a wave of criticism from 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls, Democratic lawmakers and Republicans demanding he leave office.

    If Northam did agree to resign from his post, Fairfax would assume the governorship. Over the weekend, Fairfax condemned the racist photo and said he “cannot condone the actions from his past.”

    TRUMP SLAMS RALPH NORTHAM YEARBOOK CONTROVERSY AS BEING ‘UNFORGIVEABLE‘ 

    The photo resurfaced after Northam sparked outrage last week with comments about a controversial abortion bill that one sponsor had said could allow women to terminate a pregnancy up until the moment before birth.

    Northam, a former pediatric neurologist, was asked about those comments and said that third-trimester abortions are done with “the consent of obviously the mother, with consent of the physician, multiple physicians by the way, and it’s done in cases where there may be severe deformities or there may be a fetus that is not viable.”

    “So in this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen, the infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother,” Northam said last week.

    Conservative commentators and Republican lawmakers took the remarks to mean that Northam was discussing the possibility of letting a newborn die—or even “infanticide.”

    Northam defended his comments, saying they were limited to actions physicians may take in the case of “tragic or difficult circumstances” such as a non-viable pregnancy or “severe fetal abnormalities.” He later tweeted that he had “devoted his life to caring for children and any insinuation otherwise is shameful and disgusting.”

    On Sunday night, Northam had an unscheduled meeting with key staff members, and The Washington Post reported that resignation is an active consideration. The paper reported that there is another meeting set for Monday.

    Northam reportedly spent much of Sunday inside his home meeting with close advisers who—to at least some degree—have differing opinions on how to proceed. Some want the governor to fight through and work to rebuild his image. Pam Northam, the state’s first lady, wants her husband to continue to fight, the paper reported, citing two sources.

    Fox News’ Adam Shaw, Eddie DeMarche and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

      Members of the U.S. military install multiple tiers of concertina wire along the banks of the Rio Grande near the Juarez-Lincoln Bridge at the U.S.-Mexico border in Laredo, Texas in November.

      Another 3,750 troops will be sent to the southern border to help install wire barriers and to monitor crossings, officials said. The new deployment will bring the total number of active-duty troops there to around 6,000.

      In a tweet on Sunday, President Trump said that “STRONG border security” is necessary in the face of “Caravans marching through Mexico and toward our Country.”

      The announcement of new troops on Sunday comes just days before Trump is expected to discuss border security measures during Tuesday’s State of the Union Address.

      Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan said Thursday that the troops would be deployed to the border over the next month, NPR’s Tom Bowman reported. They’ll join the 2,300 active-duty troops already there, bringing the total to about the same number as were deployed in the fall. Another 2,100 National Guard troops are also stationed there.

      “At the Pentagon, people I talk with say, listen: this is a waste of money,” Bowman said. Stringing razor wire is a job better suited to the National Guard, they tell Bowman; “you don’t use active-duty troops for this.” Military troops deployed at the border “are not allowed to apprehend migrants the way border agents do,” NBC News reported.

      Last week around 2,400 migrants left a city shelter in Mexico City, on their way to the U.S.-Mexican border, Reuters reported.

      When Pentagon officials testified before the House Armed Services Committee last week, they didn’t mention the upcoming troop deployment. Congressman Adam Smith, who chairs the committee, released a statement criticizing what he called a lack of transparency.

      “I am deeply troubled that the witnesses did not disclose the upcoming increase in guard, reserve, and active duty personnel, even though we asked them multiple times during a two-and-a-half-hour hearing what would happen next on the border,” Smith wrote, echoing concerns in a letter he wrote to Shanahan. That omission raises questions about whether the troop increase “is so unjustified that they cannot defend an increase in public,” he wrote.

      Trump suggested Friday that he would announce action on a border wall during the State of the Union address, which is taking place Tuesday. “I don’t want to say it, but you’ll hear the State of the Union, and then you’ll see what happens right after the State of the Union,” he told reporters.

      Trump says he doesn’t know if he wants Mueller report made public – NBC News
      Trump says he doesn’t know if he wants Mueller report made public – NBC News

      President Donald Trump said in a CBS News interview that aired Sunday that he isn’t sure if he wants special counsel Robert Mueller’s report to be made public.

      The president was asked by “Face the Nation” anchor Margaret Brennan if he would have a problem with the report being released publicly.

      “That’s totally up to to the attorney general,” Trump said. “I don’t know. It depends. I have no idea what it’s going to say.”

      “So far this thing’s been a total witch hunt,” Trump continued. “And it doesn’t implicate me in any way. There was no collusion. There was no obstruction. There was no nothing. Doesn’t implicate me in any way, but I think it’s a disgrace.”

      Trump’s nominee for attorney general, William Barr, said at his confirmation hearing last month that while special counsel regulations require Mueller to submit a report to the Justice Department, what the public eventually sees might simply be a report from the attorney general on Mueller’s conclusions.

      The acting attorney general, Matt Whitaker, said last week that he thinks Mueller is close to wrapping up his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia. If the attorney general opts not to make the report public, Congress could try to subpoena it or compel administration officials to testify about its findings.

      Mueller has secured convictions or guilty pleas from a number of top Trump campaign officials, such as former campaign manager Paul Manafort and ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn. Manafort was convicted of several counts of tax and bank fraud, and Flynn pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI and has cooperated with investigators.

      Last month, Mueller arrested longtime Trump associate Roger Stone on charges of obstruction, witness tampering and making false statements to Congress. Mueller has also charged Russian nationals with crimes stemming from his probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

      Trump told “Face the Nation” that “many” of the Russians charged by Mueller “were bloggers from Moscow or they were people that had nothing to do with me, had nothing to do with what they’re talking about or there were people that got caught telling a fib or telling a lie.”

      Pointing to Stone, Trump said he “didn’t work on the campaign” except at its onset. The president said he hasn’t thought about pardoning Stone.

      “It looks like he’s defending himself very well,” Trump said. “But you have to get rid of the Russia witch hunt, because it is indeed.”

      “Remember this. Remember this,” Trump added. “There’s been no president that has been tougher on Russia than Donald Trump.”

      5 die, 2 are hospitalized when plane parts hit California house – CNBC
      5 die, 2 are hospitalized when plane parts hit California house – CNBC

      U.S. News

      Five people died and two others were injured after a small plane apparently came apart, raining debris across a Southern California neighborhood and igniting a house fire before landing in a backyard, authorities said Sunday.

      The male pilot, who was the only person in the twin-engine plane, and four people in the Yorba Linda house that caught fire died Sunday, Orange County Sheriff’s Lt. Cory Martino said at a news conference Sunday night. He says the deceased occupants of the home were two males and two females. No other identifying information such as names or ages was immediately released.

      The Cessna 414A took off from the Fullerton Municipal Airport about a dozen miles west of the blaze, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Allen Kenitzer said.

      A two-story house burst into flames after being struck by the main cabin and one engine of the plane, sending panicked neighbors into the streets. The second engine dislodged and fell onto the street, creating a large hole in the asphalt, according to Eliott Simpson, an aviation accident investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board.

      “It was a boom. It sounded like something exploded. It shook our house,” said John Wolbart, who lives a block away.

      He said he ran to the burning house and saw a woman come out with singed hair.

      The wounded were taken to a hospital with burn injuries, said Pokey Sanchez, an assistant chief with the Orange County Fire Authority. A firefighter was also treated for a minor injury.

      Clint Langford, who lives about a half-mile away, said he was in his living room when he heard a low rumbling.

      “It’s the eerie, low rumbling sound that keeps getting lower and louder. It was scary,” he said. “And then all of a sudden boom. It shook the house.”

      He looked out his front door and could see plane parts falling out the sky in the distance.

      Pat Rogers, who lives about a mile from the crash site, told the Orange County Register he saw the plane on fire and coming apart.

      Video posted on Twitter showed panicked residents running to the house as it became engulfed in flames and dark smoke. One man doused a burning wing that landed on the street with a garden hose.

      Aerial footage taken from news helicopters show plane parts, including side panels and a propeller, scattered on rooftops and driveways near the burned house. The main body of the twin-engine plane was found in the backyard of another home not far from the burned house. The fire spread to a SUV that was parked in the driveway.

      Debris was scattered over four blocks, Simpson said.

      Rain from a winter storm helped firefighters extinguish the house fire. They planned to search the burned house in case there were additional victims, Sanchez said.

      The National Transportation and Safety Board will investigate the cause of the crash.

      Northam has unscheduled staff meeting amid calls for resignation: report – Fox News
      Northam has unscheduled staff meeting amid calls for resignation: report – Fox News
      Video

      Announced 2020 Democratic presidential candidates call for Gov. Northam to resign

      Gov. Ralph Northam, D-Va., met with key staff members for an unscheduled staff meeting on Sunday before the Super Bowl and is apparently considering his next move after a photo emerged showing a man in blackface and another in Ku Klux Klan garb in his 1984 medical school yearbook page, a report said.

      Northam resisted calls to resign a day earlier– insisting that he did not appear in the yearbook photo, which contradicted his earlier remarks when he apologized for the picture. The Washington Post, citing unnamed sources, reported that resignation is an active consideration, and called the meeting emotional. The paper reported that there is another meeting set for Monday.

      Northam reportedly spent much of the day inside his home meeting with close advisers who—to at least some degree—have differing opinions on how to proceed. Some want the governor to fight through and work to rebuild his image. Pam Northam, the state’s first lady, wants her husband to continue to fight, the paper reported, citing two sources.

      Northam’s office did not immediately respond to an email from Fox News early Monday.

      DAN GAINOR: GROUNDHOG DAY DISASTER AS THE MEDIA KEEP MESSING UP NORTHAM STORIES

      Some high-profile Democrats would prefer he rebuilds his image after leaving office. Hillary Clinton and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Saturday tweeted out that he needs to step aside.

      Video

      The Virginian-Pilot released the photo on Friday from Northam’s 1984 Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook. The Post reported that the images first appeared on Big League Politics, a conservative website.

      Earlier in the week, Northam made headlines over comments about abortion that he said were taken out of context. He was on a radio program where he described a hypothetical situation where an infant who is severely deformed or unable to survive after birth could be left to die.

      “So in this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen, the infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother,” the former pediatric neurologist said while on WTOP to discuss the Repeal Act.

      That prompted accusations from prominent Republicans that he supports infanticide. Northam tweeted later: “I have devoted my life to caring for children and any insinuation otherwise is shameful and disgusting.”

      Northam, in regards to the photo outrage, said he plans on continuing to lead.

      “If we get to the point where we feel that we’re not effective, that we’re not efficient, not only for our caucuses, but the Commonwealth of Virginia, then we will revisit this and make decisions,” he said on Saturday.

      Trump Calls for Keeping Troops in Iraq to Watch Iran, Possibly Upending ISIS Fight – The New York Times
      Trump Calls for Keeping Troops in Iraq to Watch Iran, Possibly Upending ISIS Fight – The New York Times

      Meantime, several factions in the Iraqi Parliament plan to push a measure that would strictly limit the United States’ military activities in the country, including where American soldiers can circulate and how long they can stay.

      The issue brings together Shiite parties who do not like Americans, most notably the one led by the radical cleric Moktada al-Sadr. That group now has the largest bloc of votes, with Shiite parties that have strong links to Iran and that are associated with armed groups known collectively as the Hashid.

      While the measure is still in the planning stages, the parliamentary party representing Mr. al-Sadr announced about a week ago that it would put the issue on Parliament’s legislative agenda for March, and the party’s lawmakers have begun discussing the idea with other parliamentary blocs.

      Joining with the Sadr faction is the Fateh coalition, whose members include political representatives of the mostly Shiite Muslim armed groups that sprang up when the Islamic State invaded northern Iraq in 2014. Some of these armed factions have close ties to Iran and initially were partially funded and supplied by Iran. Today, however, all the Iraqi armed groups are legal and paid by the Iraqi government, and say they have merged their command structure.

      Mr. Trump’s comments in the CBS interview echoed his administration’s previous claims that Iran is cheating on the spirit of the 2015 nuclear agreement from which the United States has withdrawn, an assertion contradicted in an American intelligence assessment last week that concluded that Iran is not, for now, taking steps necessary to make a bomb.

      In an apparent reference to Al Asad Air Base in western Iraq, which Mr. Trump visited during a whirlwind trip to the country in late December, the president said in the CBS interview that the United States has “an unbelievable and expensive military base built in Iraq” that is “perfectly situated for looking at all over different parts of the troubled Middle East.”

      In fact, American forces operate from several Iraqi bases across the country, with most of the roughly 5,200 troops based at Al Asad or in Erbil in northern Iraq.

      Five dead, two hospitalized after plane crashes into home in California – NBC News
      Five dead, two hospitalized after plane crashes into home in California – NBC News

      LOS ANGELES — Five people were killed when a small airplane crashed into a single-family home near Anaheim, California, on Sunday, authorities said.

      Orange County sheriff’s Lt. Cory Martino said Sunday night that the plane, a small Cessna, crashed into the home in Yorna Linda at about 1:45 p.m. shortly after takeoff. Martino serves as police chief in the city of Yorba Linda, about 10 miles northeast of Anaheim, under a contract with the county.

      The pilot and four people in the home — described only as two males and two females — were killed, he said. Two other people inside were treated for what he described as “moderate” injuries.

      No identities were made public Sunday night pending notification of relatives.

      Elliot Simpson, an aviation accident investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board, took off from nearby Fullerton at about 1:35 p.m. The plane climbed to about 7,800 feet and then “began a rapid descent,” he said.

      Simpson said there was no report that the pilot made any distress calls before the crash.

      Images from the scene showed aircraft wreckage scattered across the ground and a home engulfed in flames. Simpson said debris was scattered over a four-block area.

      Colette Craig of Anaheim was driving toward Corona on the 91 Freeway when she saw the plane — which she said was about three miles away — “burst into flames.”

      Another witness, Brittany Drake, said she initially thought the “giant ball of fire” might be Super Bowl-related.

      “But it was way too big,” said Drake, who was on the freeway en route to a family Super Bowl party.

      The crash took only a few seconds, she said, but it was clear that something was very wrong with the plane.

      “It went straight down,” she said. “It wasn’t continually trying to fly. It was very obvious the plane was gone.”

      Residents in the suburban neighborhood where the aircraft fell to the ground described hearing a high-pitched whine — a sound that a neighbor, Lee Davis, thought belonged to a Ferrari or a Lamborghini screeching and crashing into his home.

      “I thought it would actually be wrapped around my wall, because when I was getting up, I saw stuff landing in the pool,” he said. “But then when I came outside the door, my neighbor said, ‘Watch out — there’s still stuff coming from the sky.'”

        Former MMA fighter facing murder charges captured after escaping prisoner van – CBS News
        Authorities have captured Cedric Joseph Marks about nine hours after he escaped from a prisoner transport van earlier Sun., Feb. 3, 2019.

        A former MMA fighter facing three pending murder charges spent hours on the loose in Texas on Sunday after escaping from a prisoner transport van that stopped at a McDonald’s. Authorities captured Cedric Joseph Marks following a nine-hour manhunt that stretched through the afternoon.

        Lt. Scott Spencer of the Montgomery County, Texas, Sheriff’s Department, tweeted the news Sunday night.

        Marks, 44, was being transported from Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Bell County in Texas, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. He was wanted for questioning in connection with a burglary with intent to commit another felony. He also faces warrants for murders, though authorities didn’t identify all of the victims. The Houston Chronicle reported one victim is Marks’ former girlfriend, who met him on Tinder and had a restraining order against him.

        Police said Marks was with nine other prisoners and two guards in a van run by Texas Prisoner Transport Services, a private company. He had escaped in the morning while the van was at a McDonald’s in Conroe, about 40 miles north of Houston, and was last seen wearing an orange jumpsuit and restraints.

        Authorities are investigating how he managed to get free. They had warned the public he should be considered “extremely dangerous.”

        Marks was once a professional fighter with the MMA who went by the nickname “Spiderman.” His most recent fight was in September 2018, according to the MMA site Tapology. He also worked as a trainer at a gym in Killeen, Texas, several years ago.

        February 3 at 2:18 PM

        A person referred to as “Commadre Maria” regularly sent Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera pictures of girls as young as 13, court documents say, and the notorious drug lord and his associates paid $5,000 for each teen and raped them at one of his ranches.

        Guzmán, known worldwide as “El Chapo,” is accused of raping young girls on multiple occasions and calling the youngest among them his “vitamins” because, he said, they gave him “life.”

        The allegations were recounted in documents unsealed Friday, just two days before jurors in Guzmán’s drug-trafficking trial in New York are set to begin deliberations. Guzmán’s attorney, A. Eduardo Balarezo, called them “extremely salacious.”

        “Joaquín denies the allegations, which lack any corroboration and were deemed too prejudicial and unreliable to be admitted at trial,” Balarezo said in a statement. “It is unfortunate that the material was publicly released just prior to the jury beginning deliberations.”

        For two months, federal prosecutors portrayed Guzmán as a ruthless leader of the Sinaloa cartel. Testimonies, replete with tales of bloody assassinations, corrupt public officials and tunnels used for escapes and drug-smuggling operations, have offered an unprecedented glimpse into a secretive and sprawling empire that officials said funneled drugs into the United States for more than two decades.

        But stories alleging brazen sex lives and beliefs about the “Illuminati” and witch doctors were left out of the testimonies. Prosecutors did not believe they were relevant to proving Guzmán’s drug-trafficking activities, according to court records.

        The documents were made public following letters from media organizations, including the New York Times, which had complained of the trial’s secrecy. Prosecutors also said there is no longer a need to keep the documents sealed because the identities of cooperating witnesses mentioned in the records have been publicly revealed.

        The allegations came from a person identified in court records as “Cooperating Witness No. 1” and in media reports as Alex Cifuentes, a former right-hand man who had testified that Guzmán bragged about paying former Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto a $100 million bribe.

        Cifuentes told officials that he lived with Guzmán from 2007 to 2008 and that they raped underage girls during that time. Cifuentes said he helped Guzmán drug the girls by placing a powdery substance in their drinks and that he had intercourse with teens as young as 15, according to court records.

        Mexico’s penal code says that sexual acts with minors younger than 15 are considered sexual abuse.

        The documents also included references to Cifuentes’s eccentric beliefs. Cellphone communications intercepted by law enforcement agencies showed that Cifuentes has interests in the Illuminati, Freemasonry and UFOs and had communicated with an associate about an impending 2012 apocalypse. Court records say Cifuentes also believed in astrology and had obtained snake oils from a witch doctor.

        Prosecutors did not introduce that information at trial because doing so would elicit testimony about the witness’s sexual activities and unorthodox beliefs, none of which, they said, are relevant to the crimes Guzmán was accused of. A defense cross examination of one of the government’s cooperating witnesses “would be unfairly prejudicial and would unnecessarily harass” Cifuentes, according to court records.

        Buried in the documents is another rape allegation that was also not presented at trial. One paragraph says Guzmán raped one of the government’s witnesses, began a romantic relationship with her and drew her into the drug enterprise. The only woman among the prosecutors’ cooperating witnesses is Lucero Guadalupe Sánchez López, one of Guzmán’s mistresses, the New York Times reported.

        Sánchez had testified earlier that she escaped with Guzmán through a tunnel on Feb. 17, 2014, when a team of Mexican marines showed up at his front door, the Times reported.

        Guzmán was captured five days later in the Mexican town of Mazatlan, only to escape in 2015 through a tunnel from his cell’s shower to an abandoned home a mile away. He was recaptured in 2016, and Mexican authorities decided to send him to the United States to face trial.

        He first fled a Mexican prison in 2001, when he engineered an escape in a laundry cart with the help of prison officials he had bribed, court records say.

        While behind bars, Guzmán managed to keep running his drug empire. Prison officials he had bribed allowed him to communicate freely with family members using his own cellphone, court records say. One prison official, now a government witness, was given a house in Guadalajara, Mexico, court records say.

        Guzmán’s defense team has portrayed him as a scapegoat whose “mythological” status as a drug kingpin was a creation of the Mexican and U.S. governments. In closing arguments Thursday, defense attorney Jeffrey Lichtman compared cooperating witnesses to “gutter human beings” and said they are lying to save themselves.

        Guzmán is charged with engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise, drug trafficking and firearm counts. He faces life in prison if convicted. Jurors will begin deliberations Monday.
