      Cops capture man who attempted to scale Trump Tower with suction cups

      The daredevil climber who attempted to scale Trump Tower on Wednesday is a 20-year-old man who traveled to Manhattan from Virginia and staged his stunt in the hopes of winning a meeting with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, police said. William Aubry, chief of Manhattan detectives at the NYPD, identified the man in a Wednesday evening press conference only by his first name, Steve. Aubry said police were studying a video he posted to YouTube to understand the climber’s motivation for making the risky vertical trek.

      Russia announces daily ceasefires in Syria's Aleppo to let in aid

      By Lidia Kelly MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia said on Wednesday there would be daily three-hour ceasefires in Syria's Aleppo starting Thursday to allow humanitarian convoys to enter the city safely, a proposal which the United Nations said it would consider. Aleppo is split into rebel and government controlled areas. The rebel-held east, where about 250,000 people are thought to be living, came under siege in early July after government forces cut the Castello Road, the main supply route into the district.

      12 newborns dead in Baghdad hospital blaze

      A fire in the maternity ward of one of Baghdad's main hospitals Wednesday killed 12 premature babies, prompting Iraq's health minister to announce her resignation. Only seven babies could be saved and were taken to another ward in the Iraqi capital, said Jassem Lateef al-Hijami of the Baghdad health directorate. Health ministry spokesman Ahmed al-Rudeini said the blaze at the Yarmuk hospital in west Baghdad was started by an electrical fault just after midnight (2100 GMT Tuesday).

      U.S. DEA denies petition to reclassify marijuana

      The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration on Thursday denied requests to loosen the classification of marijuana as a dangerous drug with no medical use. The decision is the DEA's response to a 2011 petition by two former state governors who had urged federal agencies to re-classify marijuana as a drug with accepted medical uses. In a letter to the petitioners, the DEA said it had asked the Department of Health and Human Services for a scientific and medical evaluation of the issue.

      UC Davis Chancellor Resigns After Ethics Probe

      UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi has resigned following an ethics probe investigating whether she potentially violated nepotism rules, misused student funds and misled administrators about her role in a social media scrub. Katehi drew criticism in 2011 when campus police used pepper spray on student protestors. This year, the controversy was stoked again by a Sacramento Bee report saying the school had spent $175,000 to hire a PR firm to scrub images of the pepper spray incident from social media.

      Shifting Sands Reveal 400-Year-Old Petroglyphs in Hawaii

      Shifting sands on a Hawaiian beach have revealed — and then concealed again — carvings that Hawaii's indigenous people made on the shoreline at least 400 years ago. Two tourists from Texas stumbled across the petroglyphs last month on Oahu's Waianae Coast on the western side of the island. "It was just a stroke of luck," Lonnie Watson, one of the visitors, said in a statement issued by the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources.

      The Latest: Girl dumped by Ferris wheel still on ventilator

      The mother of two of the three girls injured when a Ferris wheel gondola flipped over at a Tennessee county fair said her daughters remain hospitalized two days after the accident. Kimmee Reynolds posted a statement on Facebook that said her youngest girl, 6-year-old Briley Jae, has a concussion, bleeding on her brain and remains on a ventilator. Police are citing a mechanical failure in the accident that dumped three children from a Ferris wheel at Tennessee's Greene County Fair.
