      White House defends Trump’s debunked claim of massive voter fraud, ‘maybe’ will investigate

      White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Tuesday doubled down on President Trump’s claim that millions of people voted illegally in the recent presidential election, despite widespread evidence to the contrary. “The president does believe that,” Spicer told reporters during a media briefing. Trump, who had previously made the debunked claim, reportedly repeated it again Monday during a White House reception, where he said 3 to 5 million votes were cast by people who illegally immigrated to the U.S. Trump uses this assertion to argue that he won the popular vote against Hillary Clinton, who beat him by nearly 3 million votes overall.

      George H.W. and Barbara Bush are inseparable in hospital, have ‘amazing love for each other’: Doctors

      The doctors at Houston Methodist Hospital said former President George H.W. Bush’s remarkable recovery is a testament to his inner strength and character just as much as to their medical team. Physicians Amy Mynderse and Clint Doerr announced Monday morning that Bush will be moved from the intensive care unit to a regular floor and that his wife, former first lady Barbara Bush, has been discharged from the hospital — but she’s still by his side. Like I said, she ended up in the hospital trying to be by his bedside all the time,” Mynderse said at a press conference.

      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.

      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.

      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.

Mattis dialed his counterparts in Canada and the U.K. as well as NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, where he talked Canada’s contribution to the anti-ISIS coalition in Iraq with Canadian Defense Minister Harjit Sajjan, followed by a call to British Defense Minister Michael Fallon, emphasizing the “key role NATO plays in transatlantic security,” the Pentagon’s official readout notes.

      White House suggests reporter apologize to Trump over MLK bust correction

      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.

      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.

      In Mozambique, Erdogan asks for action against Gulen

      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.

      Gun rights activists sue Massachusetts over assault weapons ban

      Gun rights advocates have sued Massachusetts over the state's ban on assault weapons, saying that a crackdown begun last year on "copycat" assault rifles is a vague and unconstitutional violation of gun ownership rights. The group of gun owners, dealers and the state's Gun Owners Action League, who have the backing of the National Rifle Association, said the July decision by Attorney General Maura Healey banned guns that had been purchased legally in the state over the past two decades and infringed on the right to bear arms protected by the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. "Massachusetts prohibits firearms it pejoratively defines as 'assault weapons,' which is a non-technical, entirely fabricated, and political term of uncertain definition and scope," the 33-page lawsuit contends.

      Iraq premier orders probe into violations by troops in Mosul

      Iraq's prime minister on Monday ordered an investigation into violations of human rights and other abuses purportedly committed by government troops and paramilitary forces battling the Islamic State group to retake the city of Mosul. Al-Abadi blamed such incidents on "groups that exploit the good name" of Iraqi soldiers and Shiite and Sunni paramilitaries. Al-Abadi's statement came days after the U.N. demanded a government probe into a video purportedly showing brutal treatment and killing of at least three IS suspects in a newly-taken area in eastern Mosul.

      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.

      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.

      As Promised, Trump Pulls the Plug on the Trans Pacific Partnership

      On Monday, President Donald Trump fulfilled one of his big campaign promises, pulling the United States out of the Trans Pacific Partnership, a proposed 12-nation trade pact. Coupled with Trump’s announced intention to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, the moves highlight the administration’s intention to reshape long-standing U.S. trade policy away from multilateral deals and back to bilateral deals with individual countries. The formal U.S. departure from TPP — which was already doomed in Congress — will open the door for China to play a bigger role in shaping the future economic environment in Asia, and will likely dismay U.S. allies like Japan.

      US scientists raise bar for sea level by 2100

      In the last days of Barack Obama's administration, US government scientists warned even more sea level rise is expected by century's end than previously estimated, due to rapid ice sheet melting at the poles. The report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) set the "extreme" scenario of global average sea level rise by 2100 to 8.2 feet (2.5 meters), up half a meter from the last estimate issued in 2012. "We raised the upper limit of our scenarios," lead author William Sweet told AFP.
