Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for s ecretary of d efense, said he believes women shouldn't serve in combat and that he wants to see the military purged of "woke" officials who support diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

The Fox News host, 44, has an extensive history of eyebrow-raising commentary, especially when it comes to military matters he'd oversee should he be confirmed to join Trump's second Cabinet and become sixth in line to succeed the presidency.

Hegseth has long maintained a close relationship with Trump. The pair have frequently appeared together in photographs on social media and on Fox's airwaves. Hegseth started at Fox News in 2014 as an on-air pundit, working his way up to co-hosting the weekend edition of "Fox & Friends," the network's flagship morning show.

Trump on Tuesday evening described the "Fox & Friends Weekend" host as "tough, smart and a true believer in America First." "With Pete at the helm, America's enemies are on notice - Our Military will be Great Again, and America will Never Back Down," Trump said.

Neither Fox News nor the president-elect's transition team immediately responded to requests for comment about Hegseth's on-air remarks about the military. Hegseth was an Army National Guard infantry officer, serving tours in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay.

Hegseth has already given clues on how he'd like to remake the Department of Defense, the largest and oldest U.S. government agency with a budget of approximately $850 billion. Appearing last week on "The Shawn Ryan Show" podcast, the conservative pundit said that in Trump's second term, "any general that was involved - general, admiral, whatever that was involved in any of the DEI, woke s--thas got to go."

The first order of business, he said, would be to fire the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. CQ Brown, Jr, who Hegseth said has pushed a "woke" agenda.

He also declared that female soldiers should not be allowed to fight on the front lines.

"I'm straight up just saying that we should not have women in combat roles," Hegseth said on the podcast. "It hasn't made us more effective, hasn't made us more lethal, has made fighting more complicated."

The Pentagon first opened all combat roles to women in 2015, a historic policy shift meant to reflect the changing attitudes of gender-based barriers within the military. Women currently make up more than 17% of the military's active duty force, according to the Defense Department, and have proven themselves in training, excelled as fighter pilots in overseas combat and broken ground in top roles throughout the armed forces.

Hegseth has also suggested the rules of war ought to be reworked to benefit the United States. In early 2020, after Iran fired missiles at U.S. forces housed at Iraqi air bases, in retaliation for the Trump-authorized strike killing top Iranian Gen. Qassam Soleimani, the Fox News host said on-air that the U.S. military should be allowed to bomb Iranian historical sites.

"I don't care about Iranian cultural sites," he said in one appearance. Two days later, he said, "If we're going to fight to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear bomb, this regime, then we need to rewrite the rules that are advantageous to us," adding that "I don't want to hit cultural sites on purpose, but if you're using one to harbor your most dangerous weapons, then that should be on the target list, too."

More to the point, as Hegseth said last week on Shawn Ryan's podcast, "The rules of war are for winners."

Hegseth has also been vocal about defending military members in controversial cases.

The Fox host in 2019 publicly lobbied Trump to pardon three U.S. servicemen who were either convicted or accused of war crimes. Among those soldiers was Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher, a Navy SEAL platoon leader who was acquitted by a military jury in the killing of a militant in Iraq in 2017, but convicted on a related minor charge.

"They're not war criminals, they're warriors," Hegseth said on-air that year about the men he hoped Trump would pardon.

Trump reversed the sentence against Gallagher that demoted his military rank, prompting the firing of then-Navy Secretary Richard Spencer, who opposed the president's decision. Trump also pardoned two others in separate cases involving the killings of Afghans during war.

More recently, Hegseth defended Daniel Penny, the Marine veteran who is on trial for the chokehold death of a homeless Black man in a New York City subway in 2023, posting to X that Penny is "an American hero" and "the woke mob is trying to ruin" him.

Early in his career at Fox, Hegseth went viral for a 2015 on-air incident in which he overshot a target and struck a West Point drummer in the arm with an ax. The man, Master Sergeant Jeffrey Prosperie, later sued Hegseth. The Associated Press reported Wednesday that the case was discontinued in 2019 and Prosperie's lawyer wrote in a statement that "The parties have resolved the matter and will make no further comment." Prosperie could not be reached for comment.

The Fox host's selection comes amid a flurry of Cabinet-level picks by Trump, including longtime allies like Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, as attorney general, Sen. Marco Rubio as secretary of state, and former House Democrat Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence.

Hegseth's selection was met with some skepticism from his cable news colleagues.

"From silly diner interviews on Weekend Fox and Friends to Secretary of Defense? I never thought I'd say I'm stunned about any pick after the election but nominating Pete Hegseth for this incredibly important role? Yes he's a veteran ... and?" former "Fox & Friends" host Gretchen Carlson posted to X on Tuesday evening.

Hegseth's Fox News colleagues, meanwhile, heaped praise upon him.

"You don't realize how qualified he is until you really look at the résumé," co-host Brian Kilmeade said Wednesday morning.

The decorated veteran could face a challenging confirmation process. Republicans will hold a slim majority in the Senate, and the Fox host's comments and status as a relative unknown may prove to be obstacles.

"Who?" Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., said on Capitol Hill when asked Tuesday evening about Trump picking Hegseth. "I don't know Pete. I just don't know anything about him."

Nevertheless, even skeptical Republican senators seem open to confirming the pick.

"I'm not going to be negative right now, because I want to learn more about his background and, you know, and his approach to this stuff, so he'll go through the regular process," Sen Mike Rounds, R-S.D., told reporters on Tuesday.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
NEW YORK, Nov 18 (Reuters) - New York prosecutors this week are expected to tell a judge how they think President-elect Donald Trump's already decided criminal case should proceed in light of his election victory.

Below is an explanation of the current status of the case, and the options prosecutors have.

WHERE DOES THE CASE STAND NOW?

Trump, 78, was convicted in May of falsifying business records to cover up a $130,000 hush money payment his former lawyer Michael Cohen made to porn star Stormy Daniels for her silence before the 2016 election about a sexual encounter she says she had with Trump, who denies it.

The Republican former president had been scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 26, but Justice Juan Merchan last week put all proceedings in the case on pause at the request of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office.

The prosecutors had asked for more time to consider next steps in the case, citing the need to balance the "competing interests" between having the criminal case go forward as normal and protecting the office of the president. They are due to propose their next steps on Tuesday.

WHAT ARE PROSECUTORS' OPTIONS?

Bragg is unlikely to aggressively seek to have Trump sentenced before the Jan. 20 inauguration, said Rebecca Roiphe, a former prosecutor with the Manhattan district attorney's office.

"That would throw a grenade in an already highly charged political situation," said Roiphe, now a professor at New York Law School.

Prosecutors may ask Merchan to delay the sentencing indefinitely, or propose delaying the implementation of any sentence until Trump exhausts all options for appeal, which could take years, Roiphe said.

Joshua Naftalis, a former federal prosecutor, said if Bragg seeks to go forward with the sentencing, he may not request that Trump be placed in custody or on probation, or receive any punishment that would restrict his liberty.

Prosecutors have the option of seeking a sentence of unconditional discharge - essentially, no punishment at all.

"They made it very clear they were not treating him any differently from a normal citizen - which was the correct posture," said Naftalis, now a partner at law firm Pallas. "But the posture has changed now. He's the president-elect."

WHAT DO TRUMP'S LAWYERS SAY?

Trump has long called the case a politically motivated attempt by Bragg, a Democrat, to interfere with his campaign.

His defense lawyers have argued the case should be dismissed altogether, arguing that having it loom over him while he was president would cause "unconstitutional impediments" to his ability to govern.

It would be up to Merchan to decide what to do about the case, after considering arguments from both prosecutors and the defense. Trump's lawyers would be expected to object to any decision short of a dismissal of the case, and would likely appeal any unfavorable decision by Merchan.

WHAT ABOUT PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY?

Trump's lawyers had previously argued his conviction should be vacated and the charges dismissed because of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in July that presidents cannot be prosecuted over their official acts, and that evidence of their official acts cannot be used in trials over personal behavior.

Bragg's office argued that their case dealt with purely personal conduct. Merchan had been expected to rule on the defense's bid on Nov. 12, but delayed making a decision after prosecutors asked for more time to weigh next steps. It is not clear when, or if, the judge will rule on whether presidential immunity applies to the case.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
NEW YORK, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Oil prices leapt nearly 6% on Friday, with Brent posting its highest weekly gain since February, as investors priced in the possibility that the conflict in the Middle East could widen as Israel began ground raids inside the Gaza Strip.

Israel's announcement marked a shift from an air war to ground operations to root out Hamas fighters a week after the militant Palestinian group's deadly rampage in southern Israel.

Brent futures settled up $4.89, or 5.7%, at $90.89 per barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude gained $4.78, or 5.8%, to $87.69 a barrel.

Both benchmarks posted their highest daily percentage gains since April.

Brent also recorded a weekly gain of 7.5%, its biggest such increase since February. WTI climbed 5.9% for the week.

The conflict in the Middle East has had little impact on global oil and gas supplies, and Israel is not a big producer. Investors and market observers, however, are assessing how it could escalate and what it might mean for supplies from nearby countries in the world's top oil producing region.

Some residents in Gaza were abandoning their homes on Friday to escape from the path of an Israeli onslaught, after Israel ordered more than a million people to leave the northern half of the territory within 24 hours. Hamas told them not to go.

Iran's Oil Minister Javad Owji said on Friday oil prices are expected to reach $100 per barrel due to the current situation in the Middle East, according to the ministry's news agency SHANA.

Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian on Friday discussed the Israeli-Hamas conflict with the head of the powerful Tehran-backed Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, which has launched its own cross-border attacks on Israel.

If the U.S. tightens enforcement of sanctions on Iran's oil exports due to any role it may have in the conflict, then Iran's oil supply could fall.

Saudi Arabia is putting U.S.-backed plans to normalize ties with Israel on ice, two sources familiar with Riyadh's thinking said, signalling a rapid rethinking of its foreign policy priorities as the conflict escalates.

That may have implications for supply as Saudi Arabia told the White House it was willing to boost oil production early next year to help secure the deal, the Wall Street Journal reported last week.

Also boosting prices was the U.S. move on Thursday to impose the first sanctions on owners of tankers carrying Russian oil priced above the Group of Seven's price cap of $60 a barrel, an effort to close loopholes in the mechanism designed to punish Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine.

Russia is the world's second-largest oil producer and a major exporter, and the tighter U.S. scrutiny of its shipments could curtail supply.

"The oil market is anticipating that the U.S. will more strictly enforce sanctions on both Russia and Iran, and that will lead to a reduction in supplies," said Andrew Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) this week kept its forecast for growth in global oil demand, citing signs of a resilient world economy so far this year and expected further demand gains in China, the world's biggest oil importer.

On the U.S. supply front, drillers this week added four oil rigs in the biggest weekly rise since March, Baker Hughes said.

Money managers cut their net long U.S. crude futures and options positions in the week to Oct. 10 by 39,556 contracts to 240,204 during the period, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) said.

Northeast winter storm threatens Thanksgiving travel

Travel is kicking into high gear across the U.S. this week as tens of millions of people prepare to head out for the Thanksgiving holiday. And while the FOX Forecast Center expects some potential disruptions at the beginning and toward the middle of the week, bigger issues may arise for those journeys back home - especially in the Northeast.

Thanksgiving travel disruptions forecast from coast to coast

The FOX Forecast Center is monitoring the Thanksgiving week weather forecast from coast to coast, and some travel disruptions are possible as people start heading out ahead of the holiday.

Another storm is slamming the West with heavy rain and mountain snow, with impacts expected along the Interstate 5 corridor from California through Oregon and Washington. A fast-moving storm is bringing winter weather to the Upper Midwest. At the end of the week, a winter storm is expected to slow post-Thanksgiving travel in the Northeast.

Storm Bert leaves at least 4 dead in UK

Major travel delays were reported across the United Kingdom on Monday after deadly Storm Bert brought strong winds, flooding rain and winter weather over the weekend. According to reports, at least four deaths are being attributed to the storm, and at one point over the weekend, there were more than 200 flood warnings across England and Wales.

Watch: Paris blanketed in most November snow in over 55 years

The City of Lights became the City of White on Thursday, as an early winter storm brought a rare November blanket of snow to Paris. Photos showed several iconic landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, draped in a winter wonderland.

About 1.5 inches of fell in Paris as Storm Caetano swept across the French plains last week, and it was the most snow measured in Paris since 1968 when about 2 inches fell.

UNPLANNED CONTAMINATION EVENT DUE TO BREACHED CS-137 SOURCE

The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) at International Isotope, Inc. reported that at 2130 PDT on 5/2/19, while changing out the Cs-137 source on a research irradiator, they breached the source which resulted in widespread contamination and a possible uptake event. The irradiator is a JL Shepard Mark 168A and is located at the Harborview Research and Training Facility at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA. International Isotopes, Inc. is an NRC licensee working under reciprocity in the State of Washington (an agreement state).

After discovery of the breach, the immediate area was isolated, the building was ordered evacuated, and the ventilation was secured. Indications are that the seven members of the source retrieval team were externally and potentially internally contaminated.

The State of Washington was notified. The University of Washington RSO was sending response teams to the area. A local hazardous material team is on site.

The source was reported to be 2800 Ci.

Notified DHS SWO, DOE Ops Center, FEMA Ops Center, HHS Ops Center, DHS NICC, USDA Ops Center, EPA Emergency Ops Center, FDA Emergency Ops Center (email), FEMA NWC (email), DHS Nuclear SSA (email), and FEMA NRCC SASC (email).

* * * UPDATE ON 05/03/2019 AT 1545 EDT FROM TRISTAN HAY TO JEFFREY WHITED * * *

The following update was received via E-mail from the Washington State Department of Health:

"University of Washington (UW) was having their research irradiator (Mark-1 SERIES / Cs-137) disposed of by International Isotopes (NRC License 11-27680-01MD). The Agreement state regulators were present to verify dose measurements and observe ALARA practices. During the source removal and transfer into the transport shielded cask, there was a breach of the sealed source and a small portion of the source was released into the working area. The working area was comprised of the irradiator unit, the shielded containment rig, the loading dock, a 100 feet radius around the loading dock, and the Harborview Research and Technology Center floors 1-3 and stair well. The source was encapsulated with International Isotopes' source housing capsule. A breach was identified during the precursor wipe survey performed prior to putting it into the source housing unit. Once contamination was identified, all personnel performed area contamination surveys and secured and taped off the work space area. All personnel who were present at some point during the transfer were notified of the potential contamination and were given special instructions to return to the Harborview Medical Center area for decontamination.

"Simultaneously the NRC, Washington Radiation Emergency Hotline, and the [National Materials Event Database] NMED were notified of the situation by International Isotopes immediately after the incident occurred. Seattle Fire and Seattle Hazmat units were dispatched to the scene to assess the situation and begin decontamination protocols. The International Isotope workers, UW RSO, FBI agent, and other present workers were decontaminated and placed in a contained area of the Harborview Medical Center Emergency Room. Bioassay samples were collected from urine and blood from the contaminated individuals."

Additionally, employees from the State of Washington who responded to the event were surveyed, with the highest level of contamination being 300 cpm on the individual's shoes.

* * * UPDATE ON 05/04/2019 AT 2136 EDT FROM JOHN MILLER TO JEFFREY WHITED * * *

The following update is a synopsis of information received via E-mail from International Isotopes:

In its E-mail, the licensee provided an initial incident report regarding the breached Cs-137 source incident that occurred during the removal of the source from the Research Irradiator at the Harborview Training and Research Building. The licensee provided a summary of planned work, a summary of the incident, a summary of the whole-body exposures received by International Isotopes and contractor employees, a summary of initial personnel skin contamination results, a summary of post-decontamination personnel skin contamination results, and a summary of recovery actions taken to date.

According to its assessment, the licensee indicated that the highest whole-body exposure to any one individual was 55 mrem. The majority of surveys taken at the loading dock level indicated that surfaces were contaminated in the 50,000 - 300,000 cpm range.

The summary of recovery actions taken to date are as follows:

International Isotopes hired a contractor to perform decontamination and remediation of the affected areas. The Department of Energy, Region 8, Radiological Assistance Program team surveyed the building floors. International Isotopes employees surveyed the parking lot area where emergency response operations took place reducing the size of the controlled area, marking spots with identified levels. The loading dock area was further isolated from the building by covering outdoor louvers and double door between corridor and loading dock with heavy plastic. International Isotopes remains on-site to support the contractor and the University of Washington by performing assessment surveys and development of the decontamination and recovery plan.
