      Julian Assange fuels conspiracy theories about Democratic aide’s death

      WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Tuesday floated a theory that the Democratic National Committee staffer who was shot dead in the streets of Washington last month had been targeted because the operative was an informant. In an interview on Dutch television, the Australian cyberactivist invoked the unsolved killing of Seth Rich, 27, earlier this summer to illustrate the risks of being a source for his organization. Citing WikiLeaks protocol, Assange refused to confirm whether or not Rich was in fact a source for WikiLeaks, which has released thousands of internal DNC emails, some of them politically embarrassing.

      Got a letter for Obama? Message him on Facebook.

      President Barack Obama is a bit of a night owl, known to spend the wee hours in the White House Treaty Room reading briefings, working on speeches, watching ESPN and eating almonds. “It has been a part of his daily routine since taking office in 2009,” White House chief digital officer Jason Goldman writes in a post for Medium.com. Until now, Goldman says, most of the letters chosen by the staff have been handwritten letters or emails sent through WhiteHouse.gov.

      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.

      Apartment fire kills 2 despite 'very heroic' rescue efforts

      Two people died, dozens were injured and others were unaccounted for after a massive explosion and fire at an apartment complex outside the nation's capital, authorities said Thursday. Among those injured were three firefighters, treated and released after a large-scale rescue effort in which some people dropped children off balconies in the garden-style apartment to safety below. Montgomery County Police Assistant Chief Russ Hamill said at a news conference Thursday that the explosion's cause remains under investigation.

      Wildfires ravage Portugal

      Thousands of Portuguese firefighters struggled on Thursday to control nearly 200 forest fires after flames killed at least four people on the mainland and the island of Madeira the previous day. Prime Minister Antonio Costa cut short his holidays and flew to Madeira, where more than 200 buildings in the regional capital and popular resort Funchal had been destroyed or damaged and some 1,000 people including tourists evacuated. “We understand the dimension of this horrible tragedy that devastated various municipalities here in Madeira, and we also know about the calamities affecting other zones of the country that now have to be addressed,” he told reporters.

      Sue Fortenbery from St. Petersburg told InsideEdition.com that she and her 18-year-old grandson, Kevin, were taking a walk at Joe's Creek Greenwood Park when suddenly, their dog Bolt took off after a rabbit. Then Fortenbery said she heard two screams--one from her grandson, followed closely by a scream from her dog. "I knew there was a gator out there, but I didn't know it came to the bank like that," the devastated grandmother said.

      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.

      Study redraws route of human passage into Americas

      The first people to reach the Americas could not have passed through the ice sheet-cleaving inland corridor long thought to be the entry point of humans to the continents, according to a study published Wednesday. About 14,500 years ago, a 1,500-kilometre (900-mile) north-south corridor opened up between the Cordilleran ice sheet -- which covered roughly what is today the Canadian province of British Colombia -- and the much larger Laurentide ice sheet, which smothered the rest of Canada.
