      Cancer survivor to Paul Ryan: I once opposed Obamacare, but it saved my life

      A cancer survivor challenged House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., on his campaign to repeal the Affordable Care Act — crediting President Obama’s signature health bill with saving his life. At a CNN town hall Thursday night, Jeff Jeans, of Sedona, Ariz., told Ryan that he was a lifelong Republican and a small-business owner who had previously worked for President Ronald Reagan and President George Bush. “When it was passed, I told my wife we would close our business before I complied with this law,” he said at the George Washington University event.

      Teen to Reunite With Birth Parents After Allegedly Being Abducted By Woman She Thought Was Her Mom

      Family and friends are shocked that the child that Gloria Williams raised since she was a baby is not her own as the teen waits to reunite with her birth parents. Williams, 51, allegedly abducted Kamiyah Mobley, whose name is now Alexis Manigo, when she was just 8-hours old after posing as a nurse on July 10, 1998, according to officials. Williams allegedly walked out of Shanara Mobley’s hospital room at Jacksonville’s University Medical Center after telling Mosley that Kamiyah had a fever and needed to be examined, according to police.

      Serbia launches provocative train service to Kosovo's Serbian north

      There is no mistaking the Serbian nationalist message of the train, from the Orthodox icons adorning its interior to the bold claim plastered across its exterior in a host of languages: "Kosovo is Serbia". On Saturday the train got its message moving, initiating the first rail service from Belgrade to the mostly ethnic Serbian north of Kosovo since the outset of the war 18 years ago that split the nations apart. Serbian authorities claim the renewed rail service answers a clear need, allowing the majority Serbian population in Kosovo's north "to have better communication with central Serbia", according to Marko Djuric, Serbian minister for Kosovo affairs.

      GOP lawmaker says Capitol pig painting coming down

      A GOP congressman reported Friday that a painting stirring controversy on Capitol Hill will be taken down Tuesday after the agency responsible for maintaining the Capitol complex determined it violated rules for a student arts competition. The painting depicts Ferguson, Missouri, with a pig in a police uniform aiming a gun at a protester. The painting was among hundreds completed by high school students that are featured in a tunnel leading to the Capitol.

      Government Watchdog Launches Probe Into FBI, Justice Actions in Clinton Email Case

      During the presidential campaign, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign was dogged by a consistent drip of information and allegations about her use of a private email server while secretary of state. FBI Director James Comey personally testified before Congress in July that Clinton and her aides had been “extremely careless” but he had found no basis for criminal charges related to the email practice. Later, just weeks before the election, Comey sent out a letter announcing another review, before ultimately telling Congress — two days before the election — that the FBI hadn’t changed its conclusions not to bring charges.

      Amazon to add more than 100,000 jobs in U.S. hiring spree

      By Jeffrey Dastin and Emily Stephenson NEW YORK/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc on Thursday said it will create more than 100,000 jobs in the United States, from software development to warehouse work, in its latest move to win over shoppers by investing in faster delivery. The world's largest online retailer will grow its full-time U.S. workforce by more than 50 percent to over 280,000 in the next 18 months, it said in a press release. Amazon is spending heavily on new warehouses so it can stock goods closer to customers and fulfill orders quickly and cheaply.

      Trooper Edward Andersson, a 27-year veteran of the Department of Public Safety, was shot in the right shoulder and chest in what authorities called an ambush and was in serious but stable condition after surgery at a Goodyear hospital. "My trooper would not be alive without his assistance," DPS Director Frank Milstead said of the driver who stopped. Arizona has a "defense of third person" law that allows someone to use deadly force against another who is threatening or injuring a third person.

      Superbug Killed Nevada Woman

      A superbug resistant to every antibiotic available in the U.S. medical arsenal killed a Nevada woman last summer, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday. The woman, who was in her 70s and had a two-year history of hospitalizations in India, was hospitalized in Reno for a carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infection. Investigators identified the specific microbe as Klebsiella pneumoniae, which usually causes urinary tract infections.

      Trump digs deep rift with crucial intelligence services

      A week before he enters the White House, Donald Trump has picked a high-risk fight with the all-important US intelligence community, blaming it for an incendiary but unsubstantiated report on his alleged Moscow ties and lurid behavior in Russia. Trump on Wednesday accused US spies of leaking the report, a dossier prepared for US politicians by a British private consultant, to the media to sabotage him, calling it a "disgraceful" act worthy of Germany's Nazi regime. The outburst prompted a late night call from National Intelligence Director James Clapper, who told the president-elect he did not believe the leak came from the intelligence agencies.

      In Asylum Limbo, Europe’s Forgotten Refugees Are Dying of Cold

      Refugees and migrants in Europe are dying this winter and governments must do more to help, the U.N. warned on Friday. Cecile Poutilly, a spokesperson for the U.N. refugee agency UNCHR, said five had died so far in a unusual cold front settling in on southeastern Europe. The EU spent 198 million euro in 2016 on emergency support for Greece to help tens of thousands of refugees and migrants, according to the EU Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Department.

      Iraqi forces fight IS at Mosul University, take areas along Tigris: officials

      By Isabel Coles and John Davison MOSUL, Iraq/BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi special forces drove back Islamic State militants in the strategic Mosul University campus on Saturday while elite police units took over large areas along the Tigris river, military officials said. The head of Iraq's Counter Terrorism Service (CTS) said security forces were close to recapturing the entire east bank of the Tigris, which bisects Mosul from north to south, a gain that will bring at least half of Islamic State's last major stronghold in Iraq under their control.

      Assange agrees to extradition if US releases whistleblower

      WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will agree to be extradited to the United States if President Barack Obama grants clemency to the former US soldier Chelsea Manning, jailed for leaking documents, the company said on Thursday. "If Obama grants Manning clemency Assange will agree to US extradition despite clear unconstitutionality of DoJ (US Department of Justice) case," WikiLeaks wrote on Twitter. Assange has been living in the Ecuadoran embassy in London since June 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden to face sexual assault allegations.

      Guy Philippe entered the plea Friday morning at a brief hearing to a three-count cocaine smuggling and money-laundering conspiracy indictment dating to 2005 that carries a maximum life prison sentence if he is convicted. A leader of the 2004 coup that toppled then-President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Philippe had recently been elected to the Haitian Senate and was days away from being sworn in when he was arrested. Supporters who came to the courthouse Friday said Philippe is innocent and blamed his arrest on political foes.

      In a meeting with their Israeli counterparts, U.S. intelligence officials allegedly warned that President-elect Donald Trump’s close ties with Russia could pose a threat to Israel. The U.S. intelligence staff also said Russia may have some leverage over Trump but did not release further information regarding this, the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth reported citing anonymous Israeli officials present at the meeting. Washington also informed Israel that based on information “of the highest level,” the U.S. can confirm that Russian intelligence agents were behind the hackings related to the U.S. 2016 election race.
