Donald Trump was abruptly brought off the stage by Secret Service in the middle of a Saturday night rally when an unidentified man apparently tried to rush the stage. Multiple witnesses near the front of the stage told reporters that they believed that the man had a gun, but the Secret Service said no weapon was found. Trump had paused his stump speech to call out a protester when several Secret Service agents suddenly rushed to him and grabbed him off the stage.
On Saturday evening in Hilton Head, South Carolina, this 356 Speedster was sold at auction. Nobody in the room could have imagined what price it might bring, and certainly nobody expected the bidding to increase that number to nearly three times as much
FBI Director James Comey told Congress in a letter sent Sunday that a review of newly discovered Hillary Clinton emails has "not changed our conclusions" from earlier this year that she should not face charges. "Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton," Comey wrote to congressional leaders, less than two weeks after first telling them about a cache of newly found emails that investigators thought might be pertinent to their investigation. The letter also drew fresh criticism from lawmakers who said the new email review, announced in a vague letter to Congress on Oct. 28, shouldn't have been made public so close to the election and created unnecessary suspicion.
Mercedes-Benz calls the G63 AMG 6x6 the “automotive declaration of independence.” Seems about right. The only thing keeping the G63 AMG 6x6 from being perfect is that Mercedes never officially sold it in the United States. See: This 2014 Mercedes-Benz G63 6x6, with all of 3,000 miles on the odometer, just listed on Dupont Registry.
German prosecutors probing whether Volkswagen executives manipulated the markets in the wake of the "dieselgate" scandal have widened their investigation to include the group's supervisory board chief, the embattled auto giant said Sunday. VW said the probe had now also ensnared board chairman Hans Dieter Poetsch, who was only appointed last year, and would focus on his previous role as the group's chief financial officer. The announcement is a fresh blow to VW's efforts to move on from the worst crisis in its history, which erupted after the group admitted in September 2015 to installing software in 11 million diesel engines worldwide that could dupe emissions tests to make the cars seem less polluting than they were.
A father killed his two young sons before turning the gun on himself in St. Louis on Saturday night. The man, who police identified as Christopher Cadenbach, had a $100,000 bond issued for his arrest in connection with a previous domestic violence dispute, but on Saturday afternoon when he met with this mom and two sons at the park, he said “he wasn’t going to be taken alive,” according to reports. Police said Cadenbach left the park in his mom’s car with the two boys, 5-year-old Ethan and 4-year-old Owen, and then she called police.
Around 2,000 protesters took to the streets of Morocco's capital Rabat on Sunday, in the latest in a week of rallies over a fish vendor crushed to death in a garbage compactor after a confrontation with police. The death a week ago of Mouhcine Fikri has triggered the largest protests in the North African kingdom since 2011 when the "February 20" movement organized demonstrations for reform inspired by the Arab Spring uprisings across the region. Since he was crushed inside a garbage truck as he tried to retrieve fish the police confiscated from him, Fikri has become a symbol for protests against official abuses and the Makhzen, a term used to describe the royal establishment.
McDonald’s has more than 36,000 locations worldwide. More and more, McDonald’s is looking like a towering (if slowly eroding) twentieth-century monolith. McDonald’s plans to roll out the new smartphone pay-and-pickup technology next year, both in the U.S. market and other leading world economies, namely Canada, Great Britain, Australia, and France.

A village that lived for centuries off agriculture and wool, Santo Stefano di Sessanio has just 108 inhabitants, less than a tenth of its pre-World War I population, according to its mayor. Decades later, its untouched architecture caught the attention of Swedish-Italian entrepreneur Daniele Kihlgren, who came across it on a 1999 motorcycle trip. The project has drawn tourists and injected life back into the village, according to locals.
Nigerian troops on Saturday rescued another of the missing Chibok schoolgirls seized by Boko Haram Islamists, in an operation near the border with Cameroon, a spokesman said. The girl, found along with her baby son, was one of the more than 200 schoolgirls taken by the Islamist group from their hostels in the remote town of Chibok in April 2014. The mass abduction drew global anger and attracted unprecedented attention to the seven-year Boko Haram insurgency.
Sam DuBose was pulled over near the University of Cincinnati campus for a missing front license plate. Walter Scott got stopped for a broken taillight in South Carolina. Former university police Officer Ray Tensing, 26, is on trial for murder in Cincinnati in the July 2015 fatal shooting of DuBose, 43.
Julian Assange will be interviewed at Ecuador's London embassy on Nov. 14, Swedish prosecutors said on Monday, in a move that could end a long diplomatic deadlock that has seen the WikiLeaks founder holed up in the London residence since 2012. "Ecuador has granted the Swedish request for legal assistance in criminal matters and the interview will be conducted by an Ecuadorian prosecutor," the Swedish Prosecution Authority said in a statement. The Swedish assistant prosecutor, Chief Prosecutor Ingrid Isgren, and a Swedish police investigator have been allowed to be present at the interview.

The South Carolina kidnapping suspect who allegedly chained a woman in a storage container for two months has reportedly confessed to a 2003 quadruple murder and may have killed three others, according to police. Officials arrested Todd Kohlhepp, 45, for kidnapping on Thursday after finding 30-year-old Kala Brown chained by the neck and ankle in a storage container on his property. Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright said Kohlhepp told detectives details of the four murders that only the killer would have known.
Kurdish-led Syrian forces began an offensive Sunday to liberate the Islamic State group's de facto capital of Raqqa, clashing with the extremists north of the Syrian city and warning neighboring Turkey not to interfere in the operation. The United States, France and Britain said they would provide air support for the offensive, which was announced at a news conference in Ein Issa, north of Raqqa, by a coalition of Kurds and Arabs known as the Syria Democratic Forces. Unlike several successful military efforts to drive Islamic State militants out of cities in Iraq, the Raqqa offensive faces several political obstacles and is likely to be much more complex.
The German government on Monday said it would not get involved in a discussion about potential sanctions against Turkey for its crackdown on the media and political opponents, saying Europe needed to respond in a unified manner to the developments. "What we need is a clear and unified European position on the developments in Turkey," government spokesman Steffen Seibert told a regular government news conference. "We have to make it clear to Turkey what impact the repression of the press and the repression of the opposition will have on its relations with the European Union.
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega was on track to win a fourth term in office Monday, with his wife Rosario Murillo as his vice president, partial official election results showed. With 66 percent of ballots counted, Ortega's Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) had 72 percent of the vote, the country's Supreme Electoral Council said in a report.
NBC Sports, and the crew that covers NASCAR Sprint Cup, did the best they could to tap-dance their way through what had to be one of the most expensive rain delays of the year, but in the end, they lost NBC at 6 p.m. ET, leaving the accountants to figure out the damage. All those advertisers who bought commercials in a Chase race at Texas Motor Speedway and instead got a partial re-run of Martinsville, a long preview of Rutledge Wood's new series "Shotgun," endless driver interviews where, at least, Brad Keselowski opened a can of worms with comments about NASCAR's concussion policy, and shots of Air Titans trying to dry the surface must be made whole, and it will likely be pricey. As one of a handful of NASCAR races that had an absolutely prime Sunday afternoon timeslot on network television, the AAA Texas 500, with only two more races left in the season, and one more to set the four-car field for the championship to be decided at the Homestead-Miami Speedway finale, this was a massive lost opportunity for NASCAR, and you could almost hear remote controls across the country seeking football or movies.
With the deftness of decades of experience, Abu Mohammad wove thick green thread with a wooden loom in northwest Syria, creating a vibrant geometric pattern renowned among Arabic textiles. It was the last day before the weaver in his 50s would be forced to close the workshop, leaving the last five remaining looms in his hometown of Ariha in Idlib province to gather dust. Weaving has been devastated by Syria's five-year civil war, with thread becoming too difficult to procure from Aleppo -- once the country's artisanal hub but now ravaged by fighting and bombardment.
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Jury selection resumes Monday in the case of Dylann Roof, the white man on trial for his life in the Charleston Federal Courthouse for gunning down nine black parishioners during a Bible study at a Charleston church last year.The
Microsoft has yet to officially announce its long-rumored Surface Phone, but we now have an idea of what the company's PC-in-your-pocket might look like — or at least what could have been. Notable leakster Evan Blass posted a new set of potential Surface Phone renders, which show a super-sleek Windows phone that could offer the functionality of a full PC. Blass tweeted the images with the caption, "powered by a laptop-class Intel processor, would this have blown your mind?" The rendered images showcase a device that appears to be slimmer and sleeker than Microsoft's own Lumia handsets, with a nearly edge-to-edge display and an attractive charcoal finish.
A hacked email released by WikiLeaks on Sunday suggests Hillary Clinton was miffed by Nancy Pelosi's initial refusal to endorse her during the Democratic presidential primary. Clinton aide Huma Abedin noted in a July 16, 2015, email to a list of people including campaign Chairman John Podesta that Clinton had asked for the House Democratic leader's endorsement over Sen. Bernie Sanders. Pelosi "didn't say yes," Abedin wrote.
This frosty phenomenon is connected to ongoing weather events that could bring heavier snowfall in parts of North America and Western Europe this winter. News of the icy beach balls first emerged after residents in the village of Nyda, which sits on the Yamal Peninsula above the Arctic Circle, posted images to social media. As the water retreated, chunks of the ice rolled over in the wet sand, forming orbs the size of tennis balls, bowling balls and basketballs.
Turkish authorities briefly barred cars from entering and leaving Istanbul's main Ataturk Airport on Sunday after police fired shots when a motorcycle refused an order to stop, CNN Turk said. In June, suicide bombers suspected of belonging to Islamic State killed 41 people and wounded some 240 others with gunfire and explosives at the airport. The latest incident did not affect flights at Ataturk, Europe's third-busiest airport, the channel reported.
