In the full week since Brad Pitt released a statement to People regarding Angelina Jolie’s decision to file for divorce , there has been radio silence, even amidst reports he is being investigated for child abuse by the FBI and Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services for being verbally and physically abusive with one of his children on a flight from France to California. Pitt broke his silence this afternoon toAccess Hollywood, although his second statement did not address any of these allegations. Instead, Pitt announced he will not be attending tomorrow’s red carpet screening of Voyage of Time, a documentary he narrated (and where he’d likely have to take questions from reporters).
EllePresident Obama said Congress made a "mistake" in overriding his veto of a bill that would allow the families of 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia for its alleged role in the terrorist attacks. "If you're perceived as voting against 9/11 families right before an election, not surprisingly, that's a hard vote for people to take," Obama said. The Senate today voted 97-1 to override the president's veto, while the House voted to override by a large margin: 348-77 and one present vote.
Good Morning AmericaDonald Trump ended one of the sharpest exchanges in last night's debate against Hillary Clinton with a pointed question: "Why did she delete 33,000 emails?" Clinton is doing her best to move beyond the controversy over her use of a private email server as secretary of state, saying only last night that she "made a mistake" and declining to address why those emails were deleted. She didn't answer Trump's questions. However, there is an answer. The bottom line: Clinton believed the deleted emails were not work-related. In late 2014, the State Department asked Clinton and other former secretaries of state to hand over any work-related emails they may have. By then, Clinton had already "deleted some
ABC NewsA struggle ensued and a crowd started gathering. "The detective has a martial arts background and he later said he thought the suspect must have a martial arts background too because he was able to break away so easily," Plano Police Department Public Information Officer David Tilley told CNN. "The suspect was also slick with sweat and John just wasn't able to restrain him." The response In the crowd were Harvey and fellow day laborer Kirby Sample. Harvey said his first thought was to video it all. "That was my impulse, I have to say it but that was my impulse was that this cop's gonna do something stupid," he told CNN affiliate KTVT. "When he asked for help, I'm thinking to myself, 'Well there's
CNNMonday night’s presidential debate left many Americans most conflicted not about whether Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton prevailed, but about the effectiveness of moderator Lester Holt, who was relatively silent throughout the political face-off. Although Holt interrupted the candidates at times to fact-check their statements and remind them of their time limits, he also allowed their heated discussions of policy and values to go largely unchaperoned. ...
PeopleA battalion chief who had been considered a rising star in the New York Fire Department was killed Tuesday when a row house exploded as he was supervising an evacuation following the report of a gas leak. Authorities are looking into whether the building was used to grow marijuana. Later Tuesday, investigators said they were questioning a person of interest but provided no details. The two-story house and adjoining homes in the Bronx had already been emptied of occupants and fire personnel had been on the scene for an hour when the 7:30 a.m. blast jolted neighbors awake, tore off the building’s roof, and hurled pieces of wood and brick into the street. Michael Fahy, a 17-year fire department veteran and father of three, was directing operations from the street when he was hit by falling debris, authorities said.

Yahoo News PhotoOliver Furrer | Photographer's Choice | Getty Images The Philippine peso tumbled to a more than seven-year low against the dollar this week, as investors voted with their feet on the country's intemperate president. The archipelago's currency has swooned since September 6, when Barack Obama cancelled a meeting with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte after Duterte used a derogatory term to describe the U.S. president. On Monday the greenback fetched as many as 48.457 Philippine pesos, the highest for the pair since the depths of the global financial crisis in 2009. In a Tuesday note, Mizuho cautioned that "while investors were initially willing to discount the new president's sometimes shocking

Los Angeles TimesHumans could set foot on Mars within the next 10 years -- at least if SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has his way. The billionaire entrepreneur, who also happens to be the CEO of Tesla Motors, chairman of renewable energy company Solar City and co-founder of PayPal, today unveiled his ambitious plan for colonizing the Red Planet. His concept -- which he offhandedly admits amounts to a “fairly significant technical challenge” (it is rocket science, after all) -- involves building and launching a 400-foot carbon-fiber spacecraft, sending a reusable rocket to refuel it mid-orbit, then deploying the spaceship’s built-in solar array and sending it off on a 3- to 4-month journey to Mars, only to be refueled by methane gas produced on Mars and sent back to Earth. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk unveiled an “interplanetary transport system” to carry humans to Mars.
