      Badlands National Park posts, then deletes series of climate change facts

      The Twitter account for Badlands National Park posted and then deleted a series of messages relaying climate change facts Tuesday, the same day that the Trump administration issued a media blackout for the Environmental Protection Agency. The tweets, screenshots of which are embedded below, drew attention across the social network Tuesday afternoon after President Trump signed executive orders to continue the process of building the Keystone and Dakota Access pipelines. Trump also told automaker executives Tuesday morning that he planned on rolling back “unnecessary” regulations.

      Trump’s continuing crowd obsession demonstrates perils of Twitter presidency

      It was a castoff pro-football player who offered some wise advice to President Trump on Monday, after a first few days in office marred by squabbles over how many people attended his inauguration. “Yo @POTUS even I know to stay away from the notifications section on twitter,” wrote former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel, who has struggled with fame and substance abuse. “S— will drive you crazy,” Manziel added.

      Michigan man whose sentence was commuted by Obama killed: media

      Demarlon Thomas, 31, was shot and killed on Monday night by a man with an assault-style rifle in Saginaw, Michigan, around 100 miles (160 km) northwest of Detroit, according to local CBS affiliate WNEM. A spokesman for the Michigan State Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters. Two masked men with assault-style rifles entered the facility where around two dozen people were staying, Michigan State Police Lt. David Kaiser told local news website MLive.com.

      Italy avalanche toll hits 24 as search nears end

      The number of bodies recovered from the ruins of an Italian hotel buried by an avalanche rose to 24 on Wednesday, local authorities said. The deadly avalanche followed the heaviest snowfall seen in the mountains of central Italy in decades and may have been triggered by a series of powerful earthquakes which rocked the region earlier the same day.

      Gun rights activists sue over Massachusetts firearms laws

      Gun rights activists aided by the National Rifle Association are suing Massachusetts over its firearms laws, saying the state's assault weapons ban is preventing law-abiding residents from buying and possessing some of the most popular rifles in the country, as well as most standard-capacity magazines. The lawsuit, filed Monday in federal court by the Gun Owners' Action League of Massachusetts and other groups, specifically targets the state's 1998 assault weapons ban, which mirrors a federal ban that expired in 2004. Massachusetts has some of the strictest guns laws in the country.

      At his first official press briefing on Monday, White House press secretary Sean Spicer criticized the apology of a reporter who had apparently made a mistake reporting that the bust of Martin Luther King Jr. had been removed from the Oval Office at the direction of President Trump. “We had a tweet go out about Martin Luther King,” Spicer said. On Friday, Time magazine’s Zeke Miller initially reported the bust of King was missing from the Oval Office on Twitter but sent out a correction minutes later, explaining the bust had apparently been obscured by a Secret Service agent.

      When we first saw the 2018 Ford Mustang last week, Ford was being coy about exact specifications. Both the GT and the EcoBoost will get horsepower and torque increases Ford said, though the automaker didn't reveal big those increase will be. Autoguide first noticed a tweet from a Ford communications rep, pointing out easter eggs in an image of the 2018 Mustang's new digital gauge cluster.

      France's Fillon acts to head off scandal over wife's work

      By Richard Balmforth PARIS (Reuters) - The frontrunner in France's presidential election race, conservative Francois Fillon, acknowledged on Tuesday that his wife had worked for him when he was a legislator, but denied a media report that she had been paid for fictitious employment. Fillon, 62, a former prime minister who is tipped to win the presidency in May, acted quickly to dampen possible scandal after a satirical weekly reported that Penelope Fillon had drawn about 500,000 euros ($536,300) in salary over eight years for working as an assistant to her husband when he was a lawmaker in the National Assembly and later to the man who replaced him.

      The Russian parliament on Wednesday passed the second reading of a controversial bill to decriminalize some forms of domestic violence. The State Duma voted 385-2-1 to eliminate criminal liability for battery on family members that doesn't cause bodily harm. The bill that makes battery on a family member punishable by a fine or a 15-day day arrest has yet to be approved in the third reading.

      China Won’t Run From a Fight With Trump

      Watching warily as Donald Trump takes office, China’s leaders are contemplating the prospect of a more assertive U.S. president willing to upend decades of Sino-U.S. relations. Trump’s Asia policy represents the first major reshaping of U.S. policy toward China since the normalization of diplomatic relations in 1979, and, from Beijing’s perspective, it is currently on a worst-case trajectory, heading toward a trade war and a military standoff over China’s basic interests in Asia, including Taiwan. The 45th president presents a potentially unique challenge for China — but not one wholly unanticipated.

      In-laws in Zimbabwe steal houses from grieving widows

      As Maliyaziwa Malunga mourns her dead husband, she also battles against his relatives who plot to seize her house in a custom that affects thousands of women in Zimbabwe each year. A Human Rights Watch report released on Tuesday details how in-laws in the country routinely expect to take property and money from bereaved widows soon after their husbands die. When Malunga's husband died in 2013, his relatives locked her in her home, forced her to open her cash box, and stole $4,000 and the title documents to her property.

The Florida Department of Children and Families offered few details Tuesday about the weekend death of Nakia Venant, whom police found hanging in the bathroom. One of the girl's friends told the Miami Herald (http://hrld.us/2jpabPN ) she saw the livestream and called Miami-Dade police, who showed up at her house.

      Britain's Brexit plans unlikely to be slowed by Article 50 defeat

      By Michael Holden and William James LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Theresa May's plans to start the process of Britain leaving the European Union by the end of March are unlikely to be hindered or slowed by Tuesday's Supreme Court ruling the government must seek parliamentary approval. In the ruling, judges on Britain's top judicial body upheld an earlier High Court decision that lawmakers had to give their assent before May can invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty which formally starts two-years of divorce talks. "We will not block Article 50," Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the main opposition Labour Party which campaigned against Brexit, said last week.

      All 6 dead in helicopter crash in central Italy

      A helicopter ferrying an injured skier off the slopes slammed into a mountainside in central Italy Tuesday, killing all six people aboard in a new tragedy to hit a region already hobbled by a series of earthquakes, paralyzing snowfall and a deadly avalanche. Visibility at the time was only about 20 meters (yards) "and with the snow conditions visibility was practically nothing," said Marshall Paolo Passalacqua, of the financial police's Alpine division. The helicopter was taking the injured skier from the Campo Felice ski area to L'Aquila, the regional capital about 15 kilometers (10 miles) away.

      Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday called on Mozambican leader Filipe Nyusi to take action against the exiled cleric he blames for last year's failed coup. Erdogan was echoing the call to arms that he made during a stop in the Tanzanian capital Dar es Salaam on Monday as part of his tour of three African countries. "They have a vast sector of schools and associations all around the world, and they have a wide network here in Mozambique as well," Erdogan said.

      A couple in central Florida was charged with four counts of animal cruelty Monday after a fire at their home killed 45 cats, five dogs, two raccoons and a macaw. Jacquelyn Traum, 67, and Daniel Brantley, 55, were accused of holding the animals in “inhumane and unsanitary living conditions.” Bond was set at $45,000. Law enforcement officers who responded to the fire at the couple’s Merritt Island, Florida, home on Jan. 11 were able to save the lives of one cat and 14 dogs.
