      Repo agent gets surprise prison term in chase, deadly crash

      A Utah repossession agent accused of chasing a woman whose car he was trying to take back and forcing her off the road, leading to a deadly crash, received a surprise sentence after a judge deviated from a plea deal that called for no prison time. Kenneth Drew, 50, had pleaded guilty to manslaughter in an agreement with prosecutors, who recommended a year in jail and probation, The Daily Herald newspaper in Provo reported (http://bit.ly/2igbpfl ). Instead, Judge Robert Lunnen on Tuesday ordered Drew to serve one to 15 years in prison in the death last year of Ashleigh Best, 35.

      Former New York Senator Al D’Amato was kicked off a Monday night JetBlue flight after complaining about the pre-take off delay at Fort Lauderdale airport, according to witnesses. According to Layla Delarmelina, the captain asked 10 people from the first nine rows to move to the back due to weight constraints on the plane, but people became irritated when no one was moving, so the former senator spoke up.

      'People's traitor' named Germany's worst word of 2016

      A panel of German language experts on Tuesday chose "Volksverraeter" (traitor to the people) as the worst word of 2016, saying the term often used by right-wing activists to insult mainstream politicians had Nazi connotations. Chancellor Angela Merkel and Vice-Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel have both been labelled "Volksverraeter" by far-right hecklers over the government's liberal refugee policy that has seen more than a million asylum seekers arrive since 2015. The term is heavily loaded in Germany, where it evokes memories of Adolf Hitler and his henchmen going after those they labelled enemies of the nation.

      U.S. says might not shoot down North Korean ICBM, eying intel

      By Phil Stewart and Idrees Ali WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military might monitor a North Korean intercontinental ballistic missile test and gather intelligence rather than destroy it, as long as the launch did not pose a threat, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said on Tuesday. North Korea declared on Sunday it could test-launch an ICBM at any time from any location set by leader Kim Jong Un, saying a hostile U.S. policy was to blame for its arms development. If it's not threatening, we won't necessarily do so," Carter said in his final news briefing before President Barack Obama's administration leaves office on Jan. 20.

      Around the time Fox News was settling an explosive lawsuit with former host Gretchen Carlson accusing ex-CEO Roger Ailes of sexual harassment, the top-rated cable news network quietly settled with another former host who reportedly accused one of its biggest stars, Bill O’Reilly, of sexual harassment. According to the website, the letter alleges that O’Reilly propositioned Huddy on numerous occasions, frequently made sexually charged comments to her and once tried to kiss her when she visited his Long Island home.

      ‘No Safe Place’: Targeted by the Taliban, America’s Afghan allies struggle to make a new life in U.S.

      Last month, President Obama signed his last federal defense budget for 2017, which included a provision to extend a program that provides Special Immigrant Visas to Afghan nationals who provided assistance to U.S. troops and now face retaliation from the Taliban. Last summer, spearheaded by photojournalist Renée C. Byer, the Sacramento Bee published a powerful series documenting the dismal living conditions of Afghan SIV holders in Sacramento, who've escaped the Taliban only to come face-to-face with a threadbare resettlement system that's left them desperate, disillusioned, and in some cases, suicidal in the States.

      ‘Reject Rex’: Resistance to Trump’s secretary of state pick heats up at 11th hour

      Environmentalists are mobilizing against President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination for secretary of state, ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson, in the hours leading up to his Senate confirmation hearing Wednesday. A collection of green and liberal organizations — including Greenpeace USA and Oil Change International — projected “Reject Rex” and similar messages on the side of the Harry S. Truman Building, the headquarters of the State Department, in Washington, D.C., on Monday night. Naomi Ages, the climate liability campaigner for Greenpeace USA, said it’s ridiculous that the chief executive of an oil company would be selected to succeed John Kerry as secretary of state, the chief diplomat representing the interests of the American people around the world.

      Reward raised for capture of suspect in officer killing

      Authorities raised to $100,000 the reward for information leading to the arrest of a suspect in the fatal shooting of an Orlando police sergeant on Tuesday as he eluded hundreds of officers on the second day of a massive manhunt. Authorities advised that arrest warrants were being prepared for people who may have helped 41-year-old Markeith Loyd evade deputies in the past month as they searched for him for questioning in the slaying of his pregnant ex-girlfriend in December. Master Sgt. Debra Clayton was fatally shot Monday morning after she approached Loyd in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart store in northwest Orlando.

      Pentagon successfully tests micro-drone swarm

      The Pentagon may soon be unleashing a 21st-century version of locusts on its adversaries after officials on Monday said it had successfully tested a swarm of 103 micro-drones. The important step in the development of new autonomous weapon systems was made possible by improvements in artificial intelligence, holding open the possibility that groups of small robots could act together under human direction. The test of the world's largest micro-drone swarm in California in October included 103 Perdix micro-drones measuring around six inches (16 centimeters) launched from three F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jets, the Pentagon said in a statement.

      Thai floods cause 200-kilometer traffic tailback; death toll up to 25

      Flash floods in southern Thailand washed out a bridge on the country's main north-south highway on Tuesday, backing up traffic for 200 km (125 miles) as the death toll from days of unseasonable rain rose to 25, media reported. More than 360,000 households, or about a million people, have been affected by the floods that have damaged homes and schools and affected rubber and palm oil production, the Department of Disaster Prevention and industry officials said. Television pictures showed abandoned cars submerged in murky waters in Prachuap Khiri Khan province where a torrent washed out a bride on the main road linking Bangkok to the south, causing the 200 km tailback, media reported.

      Lexus stretches the definition of luxury with the LS

      After much teasing and not a little hype, the 2017 Lexus LS has made its global debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Historically, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the benchmark against which all full-sized luxury production sedans are judged on all criteria from quality of leather trim to the suite of next generation technology on offer. In terms of the latter, Lexus is touting the new car as the first that's capable of detecting and steering around a pedestrian if a collision is imminent, rather than simply performing an emergency stop.

      As someone who lives in Wisconsin, I can tell you that in the winter just about everyone with any sense takes a moment to start their car and leave it running for five or ten minutes before they actually depart. The same is true in Michigan, which shares Wisconsin’s habit of frigid winter. Nick Taylor, a Roseville, Michigan, resident left his vehicle idling in the driveway of his girlfriend’s house during the state’s recent cold snap.

Hollingworth was 27, and just a week into her job with the Daily Telegraph of London. As the Nazis moved in, Hollingworth scrambled to get out of Poland, sometimes sleeping in cars, and eventually made her way to Romania.

      Swiss Muslim girls must take swimming classes with boys: Europe court

      Muslim parents in Switzerland cannot refuse to send their daughters to school-run swimming lessons with boys, Europe's top rights court said Tuesday, dismissing a challenge by a Turkish-Swiss couple claiming the rule violated their beliefs. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) accepted that the refusal by Swiss authorities to exempt the couple's two daughters from the compulsory lessons interfered with their freedom of religion. School has become the focal point in several high-profile battles between Swiss authorities and Muslim families who say their religion prevents their children from participating in some mixed activities.
