      Stories to watch: The war on regulations

      Donald Trump is in the White House, and Yahoo News is taking a look at the top stories to watch in his first 100 days. From the unusual role family members will play as White House advisers, to his promises to aggressively transform U.S. trade policy, and from investigations into Russian interference in the election to his relationship with Paul Ryan, we’ll be rolling out 15 stories over five days — signposts for the road ahead. During the campaign, Donald Trump made extravagant, if vague and sometimes contradictory, promises to dismantle much of the modern regulatory state, specifically targeting the Environmental Protection Administration and the Department of Education.

      Former neighbor recalls suspected killer as grieving widower

      Bob Evans sat at a picnic table outside friend Katherine Decker's motorhome in 1986, sobbing that his wife had died when his then-5-year-old daughter, Lisa, was just a baby. Three decades later, authorities say only one part of his story was true: The girl's mother was dead. On Thursday, authorities linked him to five earlier killings — the mother of the girl he called Lisa, and a woman and three children whose bodies were found in barrels in New Hampshire.

      Somalia's al Shabaab says kills dozens of Kenyan troops in raid on base

      By Abdi Sheikh and Feisal Omar MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Al Shabaab said its fighters killed dozens of Kenyan troops when the Islamist group attacked a remote military base in Somalia on Friday, while Kenya's army said nine soldiers died and 70 militants were killed. Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Paul Njuguna said that al Shabaab's fighters had attempted to attack their base in the southern town of Kulbiyow, near the Kenyan border, but were repulsed. A spokesman for al Shabaab, which often launches attacks on troops of the African Union's AMISOM force, said its fighters killed at least 66 Kenyans at the base.

      Gambia president plans massive overhaul, but keeps secret police

      Gambian President Adama Barrow said Saturday that every aspect of his tiny west African state would need an overhaul after ex-leader Yahya Jammeh's 22-year rule, but that its dreaded secret police would remain. Barrow faces an uphill task after taking over from Jammeh, who left behind a dysfunctional economy and allegedly emptied state coffers ahead of his departure. Rights group blame the notorious National Intelligence Agency (NIA) under his longtime control for forced disappearances and torture.

      Elon Musk Says ‘We Start Digging The Tunnel Tonight’

      Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk gave the world the concept of Hyperloop — a superfast ground-based mass transit system — in 2013, but none of his companies have done anything to take it forward, leaving it instead for others to do so. Various teams, made up of university students and independent engineers, have been at the competition venue for some days already. The SpaceX and Tesla Motors CEO had on Wednesday tweeted his seriousness to start digging tunnels to ease traffic congestion in urban areas, and had earlier referred to a potential business as “The Boring Company.” But in his tweets Wednesday, he said the plan to start digging would take off in about a month.

      Behind closed doors, Republicans worry about replacing Obamacare

      Republican lawmakers are uncertain about how to reshape the nation’s healthcare system and anxious about the consequences if they don’t figure it out soon, a leaked recording of a closed-door meeting shows. The release of the recording comes as GOP leaders and the White House put their foot to the accelerator, racing toward a legislative repeal of the Affordable Care Act accompanied by executive actions from President Trump.

      Legal challenges mount for Trump’s travel ban from 7 Muslim countries

      Civil liberties groups are challenging Donald Trump’s executive order barring all immigration from seven majority-Muslim nations for 120 days, which the president signed Friday evening. On Saturday morning, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that legal permanent residents of the United States with green cards are included in the ban, and will not be allowed to reenter the country. As officials raced to understand the new executive order, U.S. green card holders from Iran and the six other countries were reportedly kicked off flights, sent back to their country of origin or detained at airports.

      Head of Chicago police on waiting list for kidney transplant

      Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said after nearly fainting on Friday that he suffers from a chronic kidney ailment that requires a transplant in the near future, but said he expects to return to work following the surgery. Johnson, 56, told reporters at police headquarters that the light-headedness he felt during an earlier news conference was nothing more than the fleeting result of taking blood pressure medication on an empty stomach. Video of the incident showed the police superintendent, standing alongside Mayor Rahm Emanuel, begin to stagger as Emanuel asked if he was "OK." The news conference ended abruptly and Johnson was helped to a chair.

      Russians rally against cathedral handover

      Over a thousand people rallied in Russia's Saint-Petersburg Saturday to protest the decision by authorities to hand over the city's famous St. Isaac's cathedral to the Orthodox Church. The crowd of about 1,500 was the biggest showing yet to oppose giving the cathedral, a popular tourist attraction owned by the city, to the Church, saying it would rob the municipality of needed revenue. The imposing 19th-century St Isaac's Cathedral on the main street Nevsky Prospekt functions as a museum, gallery and concert hall, and is also used for religious services.

      Key Till witness gave false testimony, historian says

      The woman at the center of the trial of Emmett Till's alleged killers has acknowledged that she falsely testified he made physical and verbal threats, according to a new book. Historian Timothy B. Tyson told The Associated Press on Saturday that Carolyn Donham broke her long public silence in an interview with him in 2008. Emmett Till was a 14-year-old black tortured and killed in 1955 in Mississippi after allegedly whistling at a white woman, then known as Carolyn Bryant.

      Five Indian soldiers were rescued several hours after being trapped in snow that caved in on them as they patrolled Saturday along the highly militarized Line of Control that divides Kashmir between India and Pakistan. Rescuers dug for the soldiers despite continuous snowfall and rescued all of them, Indian army spokesman Col. Rajesh Kalia said. The soldiers were on a routine patrol when the track they were on caved in around them in the Machil sector of the Himalayan region under India's control.

      Trump, Mexican leader speak to mend rift over wall

      Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and US President Donald Trump sought to tone down diplomatic tensions over the Republican's planned border wall, agreeing to seek a resolution to the thorny dispute. One day after the spat boiled over, with Pena Nieto cancelling a trip to Washington next week in response to Trump's insistence that Mexico pay for the barrier, the two leaders held an hour-long phone conversation. The discussion capped a week that saw relations between the neighboring nations plunge into the biggest diplomatic crisis in decades as Pena Nieto vowed that Mexico will never pay for the border barrier.

      Prosecutors will not pursue Bridgegate charges against New Jersey governor

      The Office of the Bergen County Prosecutor said in a letter to a local judge it did not have sufficient evidence to prove allegations that Christie knew about a plot to close lanes at the George Washington Bridge in 2013 in order to punish a local mayor for failing to endorse Christie's re-election bid. Bill Brennan, a retired firefighter and activist who announced he would run for governor this year, filed the citizen complaint against Christie last September. Two former Christie allies were convicted last year of orchestrating the lane closure plot, and U.S. prosecutors introduced evidence at trial suggesting the governor was at least aware of the scheme.

      Among Detroit’s three pony cars, Dodge’s Challenger is an oversize peg that fits in an altogether differently shaped hole than do the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro. For a segment so typically horsepower obsessed, braggadocio about the number of driven wheels is refreshingly offbeat. The Challenger shares its platform with the Charger sedan, which has long offered an all-wheel-drive option.

      Laboratory analysis found amounts of belladonna, a toxic substance, that sometimes far exceeded the amount claimed on the label of these teething tablets, the FDA said. Homeopathic teething tablets are used to provide temporary relief of teething symptoms in children. Inconsistent levels of belladonna can cause seizures, excessive sleepiness, muscle weakness and skin flushing in children.

      It’s extremely versatile and can provide ample power to boot, but that also means the number of crappy bargain bin USB-C accessories is going to absolutely explode in the very near future. Bad things happen when you rely on a cheaply made cord or dongle, which is why no OEM endorses using unofficial accessories, but if you just can’t resist the temptation of those no-name USB-C cords or external battery packs, Satechi just launched a tiny add-on that you should probably consider. It’s named simply “Type-C Power Meter,” and that’s exactly what it does.

      A gunman killed a legal adviser for Myanmar's ruling National League for Democracy on Sunday, shooting the lawyer in the head at close range as he walked out of the Yangon airport, the government said. The gunman was arrested after he killed Ko Ni, a prominent member of Myanmar's Muslim minority, and wounded a taxi driver who tried to stop him from fleeing, the Ministry of Information said in a video posted on state-run MRTV. Ko Ni was the Supreme Court advocate for the NLD and a longstanding legal adviser to the country's leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

      Embryo photographer Lennart Nilsson dies at 94

      Swedish photographer Lennart Nilsson, who shot to fame in the 1960s with photographs of human foetuses and embryos, died on Saturday at the age of 94, his family told TT news agency. A war photographer, documentary-maker and portraitist, Nilsson used an ultra-fine tube called an endoscope, to take pictures of cells and blood vessels, and went on to take images of human foetuses and embryos. Only later did it become widely known that many of the embryos used in the photo-essay were not alive, as many readers had thought, but had been aborted.
