Russia, China and several other large United Nations member states are among a small but powerful group of countries that look to be dodging Monday's U.N. reform summit hosted by the President and Secretary-General António Guterres, according to a list of countries to be in attendance, as seen by Fox News.

Fox News obtained a brief outline of a United States drafted 10-point plan for U.N. reform known as a "Political Declaration for U.N. Reform High Level Event," which gives U.S. support to Guterres's reform efforts at the world body.

On Friday, the United States U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley told reporters at the White House that the U.N. reform event being chaired by the president was "very, very important."

"We asked other countries to sign on to their support of reform, and 120 countries have signed on and will be in attendance. That's a miraculous number," she said.

All those 120 countries had to first sign the declaration before being allowed to attend the event. There are 193 member states of the United Nations.

Among those not attending are Russia and China - the two most powerful members of the BRICS group of nations, which has been working actively to counterbalance U.S. influence on the world monetary system. BRICS is the acronym for a group of five major emerging national economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The group is estimated to make up some 41 percent of the world population.

India is the only BRICS member that shall attend.

While Russia and Chinese hold significant influence at the world body, their contributions to the U.N. budget is but a small fraction of what the U.S. doles out each year in contributions.

"It's not surprising that some countries, especially those who have taken on geopolitically competitive positions to the United States, would shun this initiative," said Jonathan Wachtel, a former spokesman for Ambassador Haley and director of communications at the U.S Mission to the U.N.

"In pushing back they would probably argue that any reform agenda taken up at the U.N. shouldn't be driven by one country but rather by all member states of the U.N.," Wachtel said.

Russia's Deputy U.N. Ambassador, Sergey Kononuchenko, railed against the Secretary-General's report on advancing the U.N.'s development system, all part of Guterres's U.N. reforms.

In a speech earlier this summer at the U.N., obtained by Fox News, the ambassador said the Secretary-General's reform was an attempt to weaken control by member states.

"We have carefully studied the report, which, unfortunately, raises not hopes, but rather serious concerns for the future of the United Nations development system," Kononuchenko said in response to the Secretary-General's earlier presentation to member states.

The United States is by far the biggest contributor to the United Nations paying 22 percent of its regular budget, 28 percent of its peacekeeping budget and hundreds of millions in voluntary contributions to U.N. bodies such as UNICEF.

Wachtel told Fox News that while the Russian and Chinese governments likely agree with some of the proposed reforms, the U.S. still plays a bigger role.

"The United States, the largest single contributor to the United Nations, has every right to demand that U.S. taxpayer money is not wasted," he said.

Questions sent to both the Chinese and Russian U.N. missions went unanswered.

After the Cowboy´s upset against the Denver Broncos, Head couch Jason Garrett throw Dak Prescott under the bus saying it was the passing that made them lose the game, even through Dak throw two touchdown passes and he also had two interceptions.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
After the Cowboys' first loss of the season, head coach Jason Garrett placed the blame squarely the passing game.

The Cowboys hoped to improve to 2-0 on the young season. Instead, they went to Denver and were beaten decidedly by the Broncos 42-17.

RELATED: Cowboys-Broncos highlights

Not much went right for Dallas. Ezekiel Elliott had just eight yards rushing on nine carries. While Dak Prescott did throw two touchdown passes, he also had two interceptions, including one that was returned 103 yards by Aqib Talib. The defense allowed Trevor Siemian to throw for three touchdowns in the first half and four overall.

There were more than a few things that could be pointed to as reasons why the Cowboys were not victorious. Garrett took aim at Prescott.

Jason Garrett put the blame squarely on Dak Prescott's inability to make plays in the passing game

- Clarence Hill Jr (@clarencehilljr) September 18, 2017

It has been noted on several occasions Prescott is cautious with the ball, often preferring to take the safe option over making a risky throw down the field. However, the approach helped Prescott to a stellar rookie season and Pro Bowl nod last year. And, Dallas was 13-3 during the regular season in games he started.

Frustration was obviously high after the loss. With that said, Jason Garrett can still surely expect to be asked to elaborate on his comments throughout the upcoming week.

More than 1 million Americans await a hearing to see if they whether they qualify for disability benefits.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Associated Press 3 hrs ago

WASHINGTON - More than 1 million Americans await a hearing to see whether they qualify for disability benefits from Social Security, with the average wait nearly two years - longer than some of them will live.

For some, the benefits come too late.

"No search for efficiencies, reprioritization of tasks or technological improvements can substitute for adequate resources," said Lisa Ekman of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives.

To get benefits, applicants first apply to state agencies that work with the Social Security Administration. These agencies approve, on average, about one-third of the applications they receive, Disman said. In most states, applicants who are denied benefits can ask the same state agency to reconsider, though very few of these applications get approved.

The next step is to file an appeal with an administrative law judge. This is where the backlog swells, with 1.1 million applicants waiting for a hearing before a judge. That's slightly down from last year, but a 31 percent increase from 2012.

The average wait for a hearing is 602 days. Five years ago, it was less than a year.

The delay is an "unfair hardship for people already living with disabilities," said Mike Stein, assistant vice president of Allsup, a firm that represents applicants.

Chris Shuler couldn't attend his hearing.

Shuler was working as an airplane mechanic in Oklahoma when he was exposed to some chemicals and developed severe respiratory problems, said his wife, Elizabeth Shuler. The medicine he took for his lungs affected his bones and he eventually had two hip replacements, she said.

Chris Shuler applied for Social Security disability payments in 2012 and was denied almost immediately, his wife said. He died in July 2015 from an infection that started in his hip, just before his 40th birthday.

Four months later Elizabeth Shuler attended her husband's hearing on his behalf.

"I wanted to make sure I at least saw a judge," she said. "The judge said it was a no-brainer."

Chris Hoffman worked as a mason, laying bricks and tile and pouring concrete. He had terrible back pain for much of his life, but he kept working until a series of heart attacks. He applied for Social Security disability benefits in 2014 but was denied. He appealed to an administrative law judge.

In November, Hoffman died at 58, following his fourth heart attack. Ten months later, the judge ruled that he was entitled to benefits.

"It wasn't that he was limited, it was that he wasn't able to do anything," said Hoffman's son, Dustin.

Last year there were 7,400 people on waitlists who were dead, according to a report by Social Security's inspector general.

For someone to qualify for Social Security disability benefits, a doctor must determine that the disability is severe enough to prevent an applicant from working. The disability must last at least a year or could result in death.

If applicants can't perform their old jobs, officials see if they can adapt to new ones.

The Social Security Administration says it is working to reduce the backlog by hiring 500 new administrative law judges and more than 600 support staff. The judges, who now number about 1,600, hear appeals from people who were initially denied benefits. The agency is also expanding a program that quickly awards benefits to people with serious illnesses and conditions, including certain cancers, said Bea Disman, the agency's acting chief of staff.

But advocates say budget cuts over the past five years have frustrated efforts to reduce the disability backlog.

Last year, the agency's budget was $12.6 billion, roughly the same as it was in 2011, even though an additional 6 million people receive either retirement or disability benefits from Social Security.

All have been denied benefits at least once, as most applications are initially rejected. But in a system where the outcome of a case often depends on who decides it, most people who complete the appeals process will eventually win benefits. The numbers come from data compiled by the Social Security Administration.

About 10.5 million people get disability benefits from Social Security. An additional 8 million get disability benefits from Supplemental Security Income, the disability program for poor people who don't qualify for Social Security. The disability programs are much smaller than Social Security's giant retirement program. Still, the agency paid out $197 billion in disability payments last year.

Recipients won't get rich as the average benefit is $1,037 a month - too small to lift a family of two out of poverty.

A Georgia tech students was shot due to his refusal. He refused to drop a knife. He died Sunday morning.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A student at Georgia Institute of Technology was shot and killed by police Saturday night on the university's campus after he allegedly refused to follow the officers' orders to put down a knife he was holding, officials said.

Scout Shultz, 21, was pronounced dead early Sunday morning while he was being taken to the hospital, FOX5 Atlanta reported. Georgia Tech police were called to West Campus residential community after a person called 911 claiming someone with a knife and gun was near the campus.

Shultz, who was a fourth-year computer engineering major, was allegedly armed with a knife and refused to put the weapon down when officers urged him multiple times to do so. Videos taken by witnesses showed Shultz, who appeared to be barefoot, holding an object in his right hand, WSB-TV reported. He then yelled, "shoot me" to the officers.

"Drop the knife! Drop the knife!" the officers are heard yelling back.

"Nobody wants to hurt you man. Drop the knife," an officer said again, ordering him to put the weapon down.

Another video showed Shultz walking forward before an officer fired his gun at Shultz. Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Nelly Miles said the officer shot the student after he "continued to advance on the officers with the knife."

As the situation was unfolding, Georgia Tech issued a "seek shelter" alert to campus students until further notice. It advised students to lock all windows and doors. The alert was lifted around midnight Sunday, saying there was "no longer a threat to campus."

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is looking into the situation, the college said.

"The Georgia Tech community was notified Sunday morning of the tragic death of Scout Schultz, fourth-year computer engineering major from Lilburn, Georgia. Schultz died Sunday, Sept. 17, as a result of an incident in the West Campus residential community," the statement read.

Schultz was the president of the Georgia Tech Pride Alliance. The organization released a statement Sunday afternoon saying it was "saddened" by the death.

"They have been the driving force behind Pride Alliance for the past two years. They pushed us to do more events and a larger variety events, and we would not be the organization we are known as without their constant hard work and dedication," the statement posted on Facebook read.

"Scout always reminded us to think critically about the intersection of identities and how a multitude of factors play into one's experience on Tech's campus and beyond," it continued. "We love you Scout and we will continue to push for change."

For eight months, while Randy Potter remained missing this year, his family and friends searched for him high and low. They even hired a private investigator to find him.

This weekend, family members said they were shocked and hurt to learn the Lenexa man had apparently been dead the entire time, his body sitting in his truck in long-term parking at Kansas City International Airport from January to September.

Kansas City police found Potter's body Tuesday when they were alerted to a foul odor coming from the truck. The body was so decomposed that investigators were not able to immediately determine the gender or race, but later identified it as Potter's and said it appeared he died by suicide.

Potter's relatives, along with their attorney and the private investigator, think the 53-year-old T-Mobile manager died soon after leaving home the morning of Jan. 17, the last time he was seen alive.

On Friday the family held a news conference seeking answers about why Potter wasn't found sooner.

Within a week of Potter being reported missing, his wife and niece said, they went to the airport looking for him. They said airport authorities told them that if Potter's vehicle was in the parking lot, security officers would find it.

But the rest of the winter, and then the spring and summer, passed before someone finally checked the truck.

"How is it possible, in America?" said Potter's wife, Carolina. "A truck sitting there for eight months? He could have been found a lot sooner if everybody had done their job."

The Potter family has hired Kansas City lawyer John Picerno to help them find out what went wrong, starting from when the family made a missing person report to the Lenexa Police Department to how the body remained unnoticed by airport authorities for so long.

"It's amazing that he wasn't found in June or July," Picerno said. "Our goal is to find out what happened and why. What was done, what wasn't done. And to try to make sure that this doesn't happen again to somebody."

Kansas City spokesman Chris Hernandez issued a written statement to local news outlets about Potter's death:

"The City of Kansas City and its Aviation Department express our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Randy Potter. We wish them peace during this difficult time. We are working with all parties to determine the facts involved, including SP Plus, which manages the 25,000 parking spaces at Kansas City International Airport."

In January, Potter's disappearance was widely reported in local media, with Lenexa police circulating information in hopes of finding him.

Family members say that in those first days, they were left with no clue about where to start looking.

In the first week, Potter's niece, Melissa Alderman, flew in from her Florida home to help with the search, recruiting volunteers to hand out fliers. She hit upon the idea that if Potter had traveled far from home, he might have gone to the airport.

Alderman, along with Carolina Potter and another relative, drove to KCI and started checking parking lots. They gave Potter's license plate number to parking authorities, who said security checked the parking lots regularly, according to Alderman.

The three relatives also went to the Airport Police Division office where, Alderman said, an official told her that airport police had Potter's information. She said the official told her that security routinely checked the license plates on the vehicles - even if a vehicle had only a rear license plate and was backed into a space, as may have been the case with Potter's truck.

Alderman said the official told her that if Potter's vehicle was in the parking lots, it would be found.

Knowing that she was so close to finding her uncle, but feeling she was failed by authorities, is maddening, Alderman said.

"Losing a loved one is hard. Losing a loved one to suicide is 10 times harder. Knowing that they sat there and baked for eight months - I can't breathe," Alderman said.

"How many thousands of people drove by the vehicle? How many people walked by?" she asked. "It's disgusting. And it's infuriating. It's a total disregard for human life."

the US flies bombers and advanced fighter jets over the korean peninsula to show the United states fire power, the planes that were involved were two B-1Bs and four F-35Bs from the U.S. military and four F-15K fighter jets from South Korea. Many people say it's only a matter of time until Kim achieves his stated objective of possessing reliable nuclear-tipped missiles capable of striking anywhere in the mainland of the U.S.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
SEOUL, South Korea - The U.S. military flew advanced bombers and stealth jets over the Korean Peninsula and near Japan in drills with South Korean and Japanese warplanes on Monday, three days after North Korea fired a missile over Japan.

The United States often sends powerful military aircraft in a show of force in times of heightened animosities with North Korea. The North launched its latest missile as it protested against tough new U.N. sanctions over its sixth nuclear test on Sept. 3.

Monday's flyovers over the Korean Peninsula involved two B-1Bs and four F-35Bs from the U.S. military and four F-15K fighter jets from South Korea, according to the South Korean and U.S. militaries. The U.S. and South Korean planes practiced attacks by releasing live weapons at a firing range in South Korea, the U.S. Pacific Command said in a statement.

The U.S. warplanes also conducted formation training with Japanese fighter jets over waters near the southern island of Kyushu, according to the Pacific Command.

Since Kim Jong Un took power in North Korea in late 2011, his nation has tested weapons at a torrid pace. The country flight-tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles in July. Its nuclear test in September was its most powerful to date.

Many experts say it's only a matter of time until Kim achieves his stated objective of possessing reliable nuclear-tipped missiles capable of striking anywhere in the mainland U.S.

State media on Saturday quoted Kim as saying that North Korea's final goal "is to establish the equilibrium of real force with the U.S. and make the U.S. rulers dare not talk about military option" for the North.

Alarmed by North Korea's advancing weapons programs, many conservatives in South Korea have called for the reintroduction of U.S. tactical nuclear weapons in the South. But the liberal-leaning government of President Moon Jae-in said it has no intention of requesting that the U.S. bring back such weapons.

South Korean Defense Minister Song Young-moo told lawmakers on Monday that it is "not proper" to reintroduce U.S. nuclear weapons. He previously said the idea should be "deeply considered" by the allies, inflaming already-heated debate on the issue.

Meanwhile, China's Communist Party newspaper on Monday criticized the United States for demanding that Beijing put more pressure on North Korea to rein in its weapons programs.

"The so-called 'China's responsibility theory' is essentially moral kidnapping," the People's Daily said in a commentary. It also noted that sanctions should not harm "legitimate economic and trade exchanges between North Korea and the outside world" and the lives of everyday people.

China accounts for about 90 percent of North Korea's trade and sends largely free crude oil shipments to the North. Beijing has been increasingly frustrated with North Korea's nuclear drive, but it still doesn't want the North to collapse and cause a wave of refugees to cross the border into China and American troops to move into North Korea.

China's foreign ministry said Monday that military threats being made by North Korea and the U.S. were counterproductive.

"Some related parties keep sending threatening messages both in words and deeds that include warnings of military actions to each other," ministry spokesman Lu Kang told reporters at a regular briefing. "But actually, these kinds of actions didn't help solving the problem but further complicate the situation, which do no good to the resolution of the peninsular issue."

Instead, he said, the international community should strictly implement the sanctions imposed on North Korea by the U.N. Security Council.

German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel also said in comments reported Monday by the Bild daily that the world should wait for the sanctions to bite, but that "visions and courageous steps" such as direct negotiations with North Korea are also needed.

Covered Chiefs for 20 seasons for Kansas City Star

Joined ESPN in 2013

KANSAS CITY, Mo. --- If nothing else, the 2017 Kansas City Chiefs are developing different ways to beat their opponents.

In one of their two games, they prevailed in a high-scoring, high-yardage shootout. In the other, they played a defensive battle that was tied until midway through the fourth quarter.

The common denominator is that both games were Kansas City victories, the latest being a 27-20 decision against the Philadelphia Eagles at Arrowhead Stadium, sparked by Justin Houston's deflection of an Eagles pass that Chris Jones then intercepted, setting up Kansas City's go-ahead touchdown.

Otherwise, the games couldn't have been more different. The Chiefs beat the New England Patriots in the season-opener with a big-play offense that posted more than 500 yards and scored 42 points.

* Statistics

* 2017 schedule, results
* Standings

The Chiefs went over 300 yards against the Eagles but only by finding a rhythm late in the game. They scratched out a measly existence for almost three quarters before finally prevailing with two touchdowns from Kareem Hunt and and one from Travis Kelce in the game's last 17 minutes.

The Chiefs trailed much of the game against New England but they always felt in control. Their offense usually had an answer for the Patriots.

Against the Eagles, it felt as if the Chiefs were always living on the edge because their offense couldn't handle what Philadelphia was bringing, which was relentless pressure. The Chiefs were rendered helpless for much of the game by the Eagles' heat. Quarterback Alex Smith was sacked four times.

But the Chiefs found a way and for that they deserve some credit. The Eagles presented the Chiefs some problems the Patriots didn't, but the Chiefs hung around long enough to finally solve them.

THAXTON, Va. - The disappearance of two young Maryland sisters shook the suburbs of Washington, and remained an agonizing mystery for more than four decades.
Now another region 250 miles away is linked to the crime. Authorities say convicted sex offender Lloyd Lee Welch Jr. burned at least one of the sisters' bodies in a fire on his cousins' property on Taylors Mountain, in west-central Virginia.

Only when detectives from the cold case unit in Montgomery County, Maryland showed up in 2013 did people on Taylors Mountain start talking. Welch - long imprisoned for sexually assaulting another girl, had become a "person of interest" in the sisters' disappearance by then, based on a review of evidence in the case file.

Two of his cousins told police they remembered an unexpected visit to their home on Taylors Mountain that spring. The Lyon sisters disappeared on March 25, 1975.

One cousin said Welch had a duffel bag containing bloody clothing, and told her he had been using it to carry ground beef. Another told them Welch had two army-style duffel bags with reddish-brown stains on them, and that he helped Welch put the bags into a fire.

Other people who lived on the mountain told investigators they remember a fire that burned for days that had "the stench of death," Bedford County Commonwealth's Attorney Wes Nance said during Welch's plea hearing Tuesday.

Authorities began digging on the mountain in 2014, trying to recover the girls' remains. They did recover a tooth, according to documents filed in court, but authorities have never said if they were able to match it to the girls' dental records.

Welch's relatives sold their home on the mountain five years ago now. Locals bristle at the renewed attention the case has brought.

Jennifer Thomson, a librarian at the Bedford Museum and Genealogical Library, said the mountain is made up of "good, hard-working country people," although some locals who live in Bedford derisively refer to it as "the redneck capital of the county."

"People are kind there, they look out for his families and they'd look out for a stranger there, too. Very good people," Johnson said.

Homes on the mountain range from small, dilapidated ranch-style houses built more than 50 years ago to a handful of larger, newer, high-priced homes. And while a handful of families had lived there for generations, today there are newcomers in the mix. The last cannery closed in the late 1970s. The last publicized arrest for bootlegging was in the 1980s.

Now people are hoping Welch's guilty plea will finally remove the spotlight.

"People resent the fact that they brought the children here. I resent it, too. We're not a dumping ground for bodies, and it was just quite a blow to everybody that somebody would do that," said Ronnie Laughlin, a retired Bedford County deputy sheriff. "They live quiet and peaceful, and they didn't ask for this to happen."

Following Welch's guilty plea this week, the people of Taylors Mountain are hoping to put an end to any association between their home and the slayings of 10-year-old Katherine and 12-year-old Sheila Lyon. The sisters vanished in 1975 after walking to a shopping mall near their home in Kensington, Maryland.

"All of us feel like he stained all of our reputations. We had nothing to do with it. It's something we'd rather have not had happen here. We wouldn't want to see it happen anywhere," said Danny Johnson, who runs an apple orchard and winery on the mountain.

Taylors Mountain is perched in the Blue Ridge Mountains, north of U.S. Route 460, between Bedford and Roanoke. The mountain was settled by Cherokee Indians in the 1700s. Much later, it was known for its thriving tomato canneries, where many of the local residents worked, and its moonshine, including "some of the best brandy in this world," Johnson said.

A 1924 article in The Washington Post describes a confrontation when officers went up the mountain to shut down a still during Prohibition. Several residents warned them not to go any farther. When they continued up the mountain anyway, shots were fired at them from several directions. No one was hurt, but the officers "made a hasty retreat," according to the article.

The mountain kept its reputation for decades thereafter as a rough-and-tumble place where people watched out for each other and were reluctant to deal with outsiders.

"If something happened, they would get together then and decide how they wanted it to end up before they went to town," Johnson said.

Welch did not live on the mountain, but he had cousins, an aunt, uncle, and other relatives who did. And for 38 years, the mystery remained unresolved, despite what they and their neighbors saw back in 1975.

After weeks of back and fourth between supporters and city of Dallas, they got a truck and a flatbed trailer and escorted the Robert E. Lee statue out of the area.

DALLAS -- After weeks of back and forth between supporters and the city of Dallas, the Robert E. Lee monument has finally Robert E... left. On Thursday, a Ford pickup, flatbed trailer, and crane came to escort Lee and his horses off of his pedestal and out of the Turtle Creek area. Of course, people gathered around with cell phones in hands to witness history.

The president of "This is Texas Freedom Force" reportedly planned a peaceful rally for those who wanted to keep the statue in place for the weekend, but no word if it will still happen.

The same controversy that surrounded the Robert E. Lee monument has also trickled into a local school district. Dallas ISD held a meeting to discuss a process to rename all of their schools honoring Confederates. The list includes four elementary schools.

"Basically they were trying to honor these men who were slave owners to make a statement to the African American community," one concerned parent explained.

The school board says after the events in Charlottesville, they received hundreds of calls from parents demanding the name changes.

"Our lovely school is named for a man best known for leading an army and war against the United States," another parent added. "That unfortunate fact brings me here today."

This is the district's third assignment on this subject. Last year, the board gave the A-okay to change John B Hood Middle School to Piedmont Global Academy.

In 1999, the district decided to change a school named after Jefferson Davis to Barbara Jordan Elementary. Jordan was an African American Texas congresswoman.

A dozen people were arrested in St. Louis, Missouri on Sunday, even the "rioter" who cared weapons and protective gear. An unidentified chemical was thrown on the police officers even a bicycle officer was transported to the hospital with an leg injury Sunday night. More than 80 people were arrested that weekend.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Dozens of people were arrested in St. Louis on Sunday, including a "rioter" who carried weapons and protective gear, which capped a third night of protests over a judge's decision to acquit a white former police officer in the 2011 shooting death of a black man, police said.

The protests began peacefully on Friday after St. Louis Circuit Judge Timothy Wilson found Jason Stockley, 36, not guilty of first-degree murder and armed criminal action. On Dec. 20, 2011, the then-police officer shot 24-year-old Lamar Smith five times after a high-speed chase and crash.

More than 80 people were arrested on Sunday in connection with the protests, which police said were "no longer peaceful" as of late Saturday night, and five weapons were confiscated, according to the St. Louis Police Department. At least 32 people were arrested earlier in the weekend as demonstrators blocked highways, damaged property and threw rocks at the mayor's house and bricks at police officers, police said.

"People setting out do damage are being arrested and these criminals we've arrested should be held accountable and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," St. Louis Interim Police Chief Lawrence O'Toole said in a early-morning briefing on Monday.

"We're in control. This is our city and we're going to protect it," he added.

An unidentified chemical was thrown on police officers and a bicycle officer was transported to the hospital with an leg injury Sunday night, police said in a statement on Twitter.

The department also tweeted images of knives, guns, masks and other types of protective gear from a "rioter" who police said was arrested.

The weekend protests were mostly peaceful, according to the city's mayor, but police said "groups of criminals" were "creating chaos," breaking windows and causing significant property damage in the city's downtown area Sunday night.

"Today we saw again that the vast majority of protesters were nonviolent," St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson said during an early-morning briefing on Monday. "But for the third day in a row, the days have been calm and the nights have been destructive."

The Associated Press

After Sunday's demonstrations, the organizers announced that the daytime protests had concluded, but "a group of agitators stayed behind, apparently intent on breaking windows and destroying property," according to Krewson.

Earlier, organizers of the peaceful protests said they were frustrated with the demonstrators getting unruly at night who they say could make it harder for them to to spread their nonviolent message.

State Rep. Bruce Franks, who has participated in the protests, stressed on Saturday that those who are violent and vandalizing "are not protesters," but a group separate from those marching is organized demonstrations.

The Associated Press

"The organizers and protestors that [were] there for the right reason didn't partake in any of the vandalism, many of us were gone," Franks said in an Instagram post Saturday. "I want to make sure people know!"

Sunday's crowd began protesting silently in the late afternoon in front of the police department building, then chanted "stop killing us" as officers looked on from headquarters windows, according to The Associated Press. Afterward, they resumed large-scale marching through streets, similar to what they'd done in previous days, chanting slogans such as "this is what democracy looks like," the AP reported.

Hurricane Maria: 'Significant' strengthening likely as storm nears land
(CNN)Hurricane Maria is forecast to rapidly strengthen over the next two days as it takes aim at Caribbean islands devastated by Hurricane Irma just days ago.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Story highlights

The Caribbean island of Dominica has been "devastated" by Hurricane Maria, the country's Prime Minister tells CNN.

The powerful storm, which made landfall Monday night, has since been downgraded to a Category 4 with sustained winds of 155 mph. After it passes over Dominica it is on course to score a direct hit on the US territory of Puerto Rico - the first hurricane of its strength to do so in 85 years.

"We're just waiting for daybreak to do an assessment of the damage," Dominica Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit told CNN's Rosemary Church.

"Our first order of business will be search and rescue to ensure we can account for every single citizen and residents who were on the island during this really devastating hurricane."

A statement from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said that its record-topping winds reached 160 miles per hour when it hit the island nation. In an update the Center said that reports "indicate significant damage to structures has occurred in Dominica."

Maria made landfall on Dominica late Monday, coming ashore at 9:15 p.m. ET. It was so powerful that it tore the roof off the Prime Minister's residence.

"Personally I was affected," Skerrit said. "The roof of the residence caved in because of the strength of the wind. But I was taken to safe ground by ... police officers, thank God.

"This hurricane stayed in the country for a very, very long time and (was) just unrelenting. I don't think there were very many roofs which would survive the hurricane."

In a Facebook post he added: "So far we have lost all what money can buy and replace.

"My greatest fear for the morning is that we will wake to news of serious physical injury and possible deaths as a result of likely landslides triggered by persistent rains."

Initial reports are of widespread devastation. So far we have lost all what money can buy and replace. My greatest fear...

Relentless march

The storm will continue moving toward Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands as a strong Category 4 or a Category 5 and is not expected to diminish in strength.

After Dominica, Puerto Rico is in Maria's sights. It is moving toward the island as an "extremely dangerous major hurricane, and a hurricane warning has been issued for that island," the hurricane center said.

Puerto Rico's governor, Ricardo Rosselló, has declared a state of emergency ahead of that landfall, which will likely happen Wednesday.

A hurricane warning from the NHC remains in effect for Guadeloupe, Dominica, St. Kitts, Nevis, and Montserrat, the US and British Virgin Islands as well as Puerto Rico, Culebra, and Vieques.

US President Donald Trump issued an emergency declaration for the US territory for federal assistance to augment the territory's storm-response initiatives.

The ferocity of Maria bears striking similarities to Hurricane Andrew, the Category 5 hurricane which hit the Bahamas and Florida in 1992, says CNN meterologist Pedram Javaheri. Both storms are compact, and Maria's wind speed comes close to that of Hurricane Andrew - 165 mph - when it hit southern Florida.

Shelby already offers an F-150 Super Snake with a supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 delivering upwards of 750 horsepower. However, in Shelby's own words, the F-150 Super Snake is a "street-oriented" truck.

Cue the Raptor. First up Shelby dials the performance meter on the truck's 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 up a few notches. The result is 525 horsepower and 610 pound-feet of torque, up from the stock 450 hp and 510 lb-ft. (No change has been made to the Raptor's 10-speed automatic and sophisticated 4-wheel-drive system.)

The company then goes about installing a 2-stage adjustable shock system, bigger wheels and tires, upgraded interior pieces, and a few exterior styling tweaks for good measure. All the off-roading capability is still there, only now it's wrapped in a more extreme package.

Of course, all of this comes at a price, and it's a steep one at that. Shelby quotes a $117,460 starting price, based on the stock Raptor's average transaction price of $68,165. Shelby plans to build just 500 examples for the 2018 model year, with each to be fully documented in the official Shelby Registry. Converting a 2017 Raptor is possible, a process that Shelby is charging $49,295 for.

In Irma a 94-year old woman was in the nursing home ,with the nine that died, during Irma. She is suing the rehab center for showing negligence and reckless indifference.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A 94-year-old woman living at the Florida nursing home where eight residents died after an air conditioning system failed in the wake of Hurricane Irma is now suing the rehabilitation center, claiming it showed "negligence and reckless indifference" toward its elderly residents.

Rosa Cabrera's legal guardian filed the lawsuit in a Broward County state court on Friday on her behalf against the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills in Hollywood, Florida.

Eight of the nursing home's residents died last week after the facility's electrical system for its air conditioning stopped working in the aftermath of the hurricane that hit Florida on September 10.

Cabrera is a double amputee "without the ability to walk or live independently," the complaint says. She sustained heat-related injuries and had to be hospitalized as a result of the days-long failure of the nursing home's air conditioning system, the complaint alleges.

"As the hurricane approached, Ms. Cabrera was told by the Rehab Center that she would not be evacuated, but would be safe and cared for" at the nursing home, the complaint says. She did not know that the nursing home lacked a generator to power its air conditioning system in the event of a power failure, the lawsuit alleges.

The complaint further contends that the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills should have known that the storm would cause a power outage, and that if that happened "the temperature inside the facility would be unsafe and dangerous" for its more than 150 residents.

"Notwithstanding these foreseeable, dangerous, and life-threatening conditions, the defendant made no effort to relocate the elderly and vulnerable residents or to secure an adequate cooling system for the center," the complaint says.

Amy Beth Bennett/South Florida Sun-Sentinel via AP, File

The lawsuit alleges that the Rehabilitation Center failed to adequately prepare for Irma after hurricane and storm-surge warnings were first issued for Broward County on Sept. 7.

ABC News reached out to a public relations firm representing the nursing home and has not immediately received a response.

Most of the eight residents of the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills who died had been treated for respiratory distress, dehydration, and heat-related issues, officials said. Some of the patients admitted to nearby Memorial Regional Hospital felt temperatures of up to 106 degrees, hospital officials said Thursday.

A timeline released by the public relations firm for the nursing home says that the center's staff reached out repeatedly to emergency hotlines and the local power utility in the days after the air conditioning system failed on Sept. 10.

Nursing home officials also called the personal cell phone of Florida Gov. Rick Scott seeking help, the governor's office confirmed to ABC News on Saturday.

Scott's office said the messages left on his cell phone were referred to two other agencies.

"Every call made to the governor from facility management was referred to the Agency for Health Care Administration and the Florida Department of Health, and quickly returned," John Tupps, Scott's communications director, said Friday,

In a statement, the Florida Department of Health said, "It is 100 percent the responsibility of health care professionals to preserve life by acting in the best interest of the health and well-being of their patients. Let's be clear -- this facility is located across the street from one of Florida's largest hospitals, which never lost power and had fully operating facilities. The tragic and senseless loss at Hollywood Hills Rehabilitation Center is the subject of a criminal homicide investigation by law enforcement."

A student who was on his fourth year of engineering was shot and killed by a campus police. Georgia Tech student was reported having a gun on him but when cops saw him he only had a knife. The student kept "saying shoot me" but the officer said "no one wants to hurt you." Finally he didn't listen to the cops commands and stepped forward with the knife and that's when the officer fired a shot.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A engineering student who was also an LGBTQ activist was shot and killed by Georgia Tech campus police on Saturday night, officials said Sunday.

The school identified the victim as Scout Schultz, 21, a fourth year engineering student from Lilburn, Georgia, who police said was armed with a knife. They made contact with him outside of a campus parking garage after they received a 911 call at 11:17 p.m. on Saturday, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The original call reported that Schultz was also carrying a gun, officials said.

In a video taken by a witness, Schultz can be heard yelling "Shoot me!" at police, as they tell him to drop the knife.

"Nobody wants to hurt you," an officer says in the video.

But as Schultz continued to ignore the officers commands and stepped forward with the knife, a single shot rang out and Schultz's screams can be heard.

The young engineering student was transported to and later died at Grady Memorial Hospital.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating the shooting. The officer who pulled the trigger was not named and it was unclear if there would be any disciplinary actions taken.

Schultz was president of Georgia Tech's Pride Alliance and identified as non-binary and intersex. He preferred to be referred to in they/them gender pronouns, according to the Pride Alliance's website.

"Their leadership allowed us to create change across campus and in the Atlanta community, the college's Pride Alliance said in a statement after the shooting. "Scout always reminded us to think critically about the intersection of identities and how a multitude of factors play into one's experience on Tech's campus and beyond."

The Georgia Tech Progressive Student Alliance called Schultz "a constant fighter for human rights" and said they planned to place flowers and memorabilia in the West Village section of campus, but declined to comment on Schultz's death.

Meanwhile, the school offered students their condolences and made counselors available. They also shared the number for the Georgia Crisis and Access Line, which makes social workers and counselors available 24 hours per day.

"Scout's sudden and tragic death today has been devastating news for the Schultz family, classmates, and for members of the community who knew Scout personally, the shock and grief are particularly acute," Vice President of Student Life and Dean of Students John Stein said in a statement.

The Iphone X has uses facial reconotion to unlock the phone. Becust of this people are afraid it will be abused. Face id dosent allwas work.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Apple unveiled three new iPhones at its big September event on Tuesday, including the high-end iPhone X, which comes with a new way to unlock the device, known as Face ID. While Apple touted the increased security of its facial recognition technology, it's unclear whether law enforcement could use it against you.

During the event, Apple senior vice president of marketing Phil Schiller said that the facial recognition technology can adapt as your face changes. "Face ID learns your face. It learns who you are," said Schiller. This includes changes such as growing facial hair, wearing makeup or other alterations people might make to their face.

However, there are concerns that, if a situation arises where the police need to access someone's iPhone, they could theoretically hold it up to someone's face to gain access. NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, for example, warned that the technology could be abused.

During Tuesday's launch event, Apple's Schiller said that just holding the iPhone X up will not work if it's not properly aligned with a person's face. "If your eyes are closed, if it's not lined up, it's not going to work," the Apple executive added.
APPLE UNVEILS IPHONE 8, IPHONE X
In 2016, Apple was caught up in a fight with the FBI over a shooting in San Bernandino, Calif. when the FBI requested Apple's help to unlock the gunman's iPhone. Apple worked with the agency to a point, until it deemed the FBI's request to build a backdoor to the iPhone "too dangerous to create."

Apple touted the security of its new Face ID compared to the previous method for unlocking iPhones, known as Touch ID. Apple said the chances of someone being able to unlock your phone with Touch ID, which utilizes a finger print, is 1 in 50,000. With Face ID, it's 1 in 1 million.

Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering Craig Federighi said that if a person has an "evil twin," they would need to add extra protection in the form of a password.

Added layer of security
According to The Verge, leaked source code shows the ability to opt out of Face ID, which Apple offered with Touch ID. Apple also said that it would not store facial features in the cloud. Instead, they would be stored locally on the phone itself.

While it may provide some comfort to potential iPhone X buyers worried about privacy, facial biometrics has an uneven history. Last year, security and computer vision specialists from the University of North Carolina were able to hack facial recognition systems by using pictures from Facebook.

The attack was successful in four of five systems, according to Wired.
HOW GOOD WILL APPLE'S FACE ID BE?
Apple, for its part, said it has worked tirelessly to make Face ID secure. On stage, Schiller said the company worked with Hollywood makeup artists and professional mask makers to thwart users trying to game the system. It also makes use of the iPhone X's infrared camera, its A11 Bionic processor, as well as a heavy emphasis on machine learning, going so far as to create a neural network for the iPhone X that creates a mathematical model of a person's face.

And the company's upcoming mobile operating system, iOS 11, has additional security features to prevent access. If law enforcement wanted to do a forensic search on iOS 11, they would need a passcode, Nicholas Weaver, senior staff researcher focusing on computer security at the International Computer Science Institute at Berkeley, told Forbes.
Privacy as a feature
In the past, Apple has touted its relentless focus on user privacy and the security of its devices as a selling point.

While the full efforts of Face ID to keep privacy intact may not be known for some time, analysts still expect the iPhone X to sell well nevertheless.

"It offers considerably additional appeal and features over the iPhone 8 and will cost two hundred dollars more than the 8 Plus and ship rather later, in early November," Jackdaw Research chief analyst Jan Dawson said in comments obtained by Fox News.

"These devices collectively should sell very well over the next year or so, with the iPhone X becoming a more meaningful contributor to sales late in the December quarter and especially into early next year," he added.

A Utah mother was killed and her two daughters were injured on Saturday after a 15-year-old driver veered out of his lane and crashed into the family's vehicle, officials said.

The 15-year-old boy, who had a learner's permit, was driving near Smithfield when he veered out of his lane and into oncoming traffic about 3:40 p.m., FOX13 reported. The woman's vehicle slammed into the teenager's Ford Fusion, crumpling the white car.

The woman, identified as Samantha Perkes, 28, was killed on impact. Her two daughters, ages 4 and 7, were sitting in the backseat of the car and suffered minor injuries. They were hospitalized and later released.

The teenage boy was also injured in the crash. He was airlifted to the hospital.

It's unclear how the boy lost control of his vehicle. The teenage boy was the only person in the vehicle. Utah law requires drivers with a learner's permit to be accompanied by an adult, Utah Highway Patrol said.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A student at Georgia Institute of Technology was shot and killed by police Saturday night on the university's campus after he allegedly refused to follow the officers' orders to put down a knife he was holding, officials said.

Scout Shultz, 21, was pronounced dead early Sunday morning while he was being taken to the hospital, FOX5 Atlanta reported. Georgia Tech police were called to West Campus residential community after a person called 911 claiming someone with a knife and gun was near the campus.

Shultz, who was a fourth-year computer engineering major, was allegedly armed with a knife and refused to put the weapon down when officers urged him multiple times to do so. Videos taken by witnesses showed Shultz, who appeared to be barefoot, holding an object in his right hand, WSB-TV reported. He then yelled, "shoot me" to the officers.

"Drop the knife! Drop the knife!" the officers are heard yelling back.

"Nobody wants to hurt you man. Drop the knife," an officer said again, ordering him to put the weapon down.

Another video showed Shultz walking forward before an officer fired his gun at Shultz. Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Nelly Miles said the officer shot the student after he "continued to advance on the officers with the knife."

As the situation was unfolding, Georgia Tech issued a "seek shelter" alert to campus students until further notice. It advised students to lock all windows and doors. The alert was lifted around midnight Sunday, saying there was "no longer a threat to campus."

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is looking into the situation, the college said.

"The Georgia Tech community was notified Sunday morning of the tragic death of Scout Schultz, fourth-year computer engineering major from Lilburn, Georgia. Schultz died Sunday, Sept. 17, as a result of an incident in the West Campus residential community," the statement read.

Schultz was the president of the Georgia Tech Pride Alliance. The organization released a statement Sunday afternoon saying it was "saddened" by the death.

"They have been the driving force behind Pride Alliance for the past two years. They pushed us to do more events and a larger variety events, and we would not be the organization we are known as without their constant hard work and dedication," the statement posted on Facebook read.

"Scout always reminded us to think critically about the intersection of identities and how a multitude of factors play into one's experience on Tech's campus and beyond," it continued. "We love you Scout and we will continue to push for change."
