— -- After angrily accusing the humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders of abandoning their daughter when she was kidnapped by ISIS, the parents of Kayla Mueller today said they are donating $120,000 in her name to the group.

The act of grace and forgiveness comes on the second anniversary of their daughter's death in ISIS captivity.

But making peace with Doctors Without Borders was hard to swallow, her parents, Marsha and Carl, of Prescott, Arizona, told ABC News.

"It is difficult, but ultimately this endowment is going to do what Kayla wanted done," her father said.

Marsha Mueller said she and her husband Carl made their decision after praying for Kayla Mueller to send a signal and looking at a Doctors Without Borders map that their daughter had displayed in college.

"I kept asking Kayla, we have this money, there is so much need in the world and we want to give it to someone, so who has the greatest reach around the world?" her mother said. "Doctors Without Borders is a great organization, I have a lot of respect for them and I knew of her respect for them."
Mueller Family Full Statement Regarding MSF Donation
Their decision comes despite what the Muellers say were bad decisions by senior leaders of the charity group regarding his daughter, who suffered through 18 months of captivity in the hands of ISIS, including being taken as the forced sex slave of its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi before her reported death on Feb. 6, 2015.

Kayla was helping Syrian refugees in Antakya, Turkey and had travelled to Aleppo with a close friend who was installing satellite internet for a Doctors Without Borders hospital. They had stayed overnight at the hospital before hospital officials there put them in an MSF-marked car headed for the city bus station so they could return to Turkey.

But Kayla never made it there. A vehicle stopped them on a road nearby and gunmen abducted the occupants, which included a senior hospital staffer for Doctors Without Borders. All, except Kayla, were soon released including her friend. The kidnappers were from ISIS, a terrorist group few had even heard of in 2013, and Kayla was the first western aid worker they took hostage.

Marsha and Carl Mueller said officials with Doctors Without Borders refused to speak with them for almost a year as they struggled to learn who held Kayla captive . The parents said that the officials later withheld for weeks critical information provided by freed hostages from the aid group -- information that directly concerned their daughter and they say was needed in order to begin negotiations for her release.

In a phone conversation recorded by the Muellers 10 months after their daughter's kidnapping and provided to ABC News, they asked the group if it would help negotiate for their daughter after Doctors Without Borders had ransomed out its own staff held by ISIS.

"No," the senior official replied. "So, the crisis management team that we have installed for our five people and that managed the case for our people will be closed down in the next week. Yeah? ... Because our case is closed."

"They're a fabulous organization, and they do wonderful work," Carl Mueller told ABC News' "20/20" in the interview broadcast last August, "but somewhere in a boardroom, they decided to leave our daughter there to be tortured and raped and ultimately murdered."

Their donation announced today will act as seed money for a new endowment there to further Kayla Meuller's desire to help mothers and children harmed by war, famine and disaster in 70 countries.

"This wouldn't have happened if Doctors Without Borders hadn't come to their house and sat with their anger. They felt the full force of it," recalled the Muellers' friend and most important adviser, Rev. Kathleen Day of Northern Arizona University's campus ministry, who also was close to their daughter when she attended college there.

One of Doctors Without Borders' senior officials who went to Prescott and experienced the brunt of their pain and anguish was Jason Cone, who leads the organization's U.S. chapter.

"The Mueller family's decision to establish an endowment with MSF in memory of their daughter is an act of great and humbling generosity," said Cone, executive director of Doctors Without Borders' New York office.

In a statement to ABC News, Cone said "MSF expresses its deepest sympathies to Kayla's family and friends. We mourn her passing and we are honored to help keep her memory alive."

The new endowment, "Kayla's Hands - the Kayla Mueller Memorial Endowment Fund," will be administered by the aid group's New York office and will support their global medical and humanitarian aid programs, Cone said.

The Muellers tell ABC News that donations poured in following an ABC News "20/20" documentary, "The Girl Left Behind" last August, in which the Muellers shared their frustrations over U.S. government efforts to block them from paying ISIS a ransom for their daughter.

Nearly half of the money to be donated today came from viewers of the program, the parents said.

The parents also that President Obama had failed to deliver a personal contribution he had promised to the foundation for 18 months.

Obama sent the family an apologetic letter and a personal check after the ABC broadcast, joining hundreds of viewers who sent contributions, such as a class full of underprivileged school kids in Utah who taped dollar bills to letters of support they wrote.

The long, terrible ordeal endured by the Prescott, Arizona couple -- an auto body shop owner and a former nurse -- began Aug. 4, 2013 with 24-year old Kayla Mueller's abduction in war-torn Aleppo, Syria.

It eventually led to an intense negotiation with the infamous terror group , which saw the hostage's mother and father trading emails with militants from a laptop on their kitchen counter, with the FBI's assistance.

Cone, the group's U.S. director, was not directly involved in the decisions that affected Kayla Mueller at the time . B ut in August he defended the aid group's actions, insisting they had to negotiate for their staffers' freedom with ISIS and couldn't do the same for someone who did not work for them.

"I don't think there was a moral responsibility," Cone said in an interview with ABC News last August. "We can't be in the position of negotiating for people who don't work for us."

Cone said Mueller had not been asked by the group to come to Syria and would have not have permitted her to travel there if it had been asked because of her American citizenship.

Today, Cone made a point of praising the woman her fellow hostages described as selfless and who often put their wellbeing before her own.

"Based on what I have learned about Kayla from her family and her writings, she was incredibly compassionate, devoted, and connected to neglected people. Kayla's legacy will live on every day, in part through the formation of this endowment and the support it will provide to MSF's medical work throughout the world," Cone said.

The aid group also ran into trouble with two of its former staff who were held in an abandoned oil refinery south of Raqqa, Syria, with Kayla. Two abducted women, Frida Saide and Patricia Chavez, said that they had not been told by a Doctors Without Borders' security expert that there had been kidnappings of their staff in Syria several months before they entered the lawless country to do aid work. They were shocked to learn about it when Kayla Mueller shared a cell with them in early 2014.

Doctors Without Borders in a statement last August offered conflicting reasons why the women weren't informed of Kayla's kidnapping before they faced a similar risk. One explanation offered was that they weren't near Aleppo -- which the former staffers immediately disputed, saying they traveled trough the city when they entered Syria from Turkey.

Kayla Mueller's family said that the aid group refused to speak with them for 10 months, and when they did finally speak, the family said that they learned that Doctors Without Border had been withholding for seven weeks a letter and an email address for ISIS militants intended to begin negotiations.

That letter and contact information had been smuggled out by Chavez and Saide. Doctors Without Borders claimed last year that the two women had been instructed by Kayla Mueller to not hand over the letter and email address while two male Doctors Without Borders staff remained captive.

Saide told ABC News last year that the statement by her former employer was "not true." Chavez agreed, saying, "There was no discussion where Kayla asked us not to pass it on."

Given all of this, Saide today said it was both surprising and unexpected when the Muellers recently shared with her their plans to donate most of the money they have collected for the Kayla's Hands Foundation to the organization they felt had failed their daughter.

"It was not something that I could immediately get my head around," Saide told ABC News today. "But they are Kayla's parents, and just as Kayla did, they impress me with their kindness and generosity. I admire them so much and am full of respect for their decision."

Faith is strong with the Mueller family, the parents say. Other hostages said that they once witnessed Kayla Mueller correcting ISIS executioner "Jihadi John," when he told other hostages she had converted from Christianity to Islam.

With the family's faith comes forgiveness for Doctors Without Borders and its past decisions regarding Kayla, her parents say.

"I've forgiven them. I'll never forget," Marsha said.

"It was never our intention to harm Doctors Without Borders but only to hold them accountable," Carl explained. "They've stepped up to the plate. Hopefully this gesture will make changes and the next person in this situation will come home."

As many as 13,000 people, most of them civilian opposition supporters, have been executed in secret at a prison in Syria, Amnesty International says.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
As many as 13,000 people, most of them civilian opposition supporters, have been executed in secret at a prison in Syria, Amnesty International says.

A new report by the human rights group alleges that mass hangings took place every week at Saydnaya prison between September 2011 and December 2015.

Amnesty says the alleged executions were authorised at the highest levels of the Syrian government.

The government has previously denied killing or mistreating detainees.

However, UN human rights experts said a year ago that witness accounts and documentary evidence strongly suggested that tens of thousands of people were being detained and that "deaths on a massive scale" were occurring in custody.

Amnesty interviewed 84 people, including former guards, detainees and officials at Saydnaya prison for its report.

It alleges that every week, and often twice a week, groups of between 20 and 50 people were executed in total secrecy at the facility, just north of Damascus.

Before their execution, detainees were brought before a "military field court" in the capital's Qaboun district for "trials" lasting between one and three minutes, the report says.

A former military court judge quoted by Amnesty said detainees would be asked if they had committed crimes alleged to have taken place. "Whether the answer is 'yes' or 'no', he will be convicted... This court has no relation with the rule of law," he said.

According to the report, detainees were told on the day of the hangings that they would be transferred to a civilian prison then taken to a basement cell and beaten over the course of two or three hours.

Then in the middle of the night they were blindfolded and moved to another part of the prison, where they were taken into a room in the basement and told they had been sentenced to death just minutes before nooses were placed around their necks, the report adds.

The bodies of those killed were allegedly then loaded onto lorries, and transferred to Tishreen military hospital in Damascus for registration and burial in mass graves located on military land.

On the basis of evidence of the testimony of its witnesses, Amnesty estimates that between 5,000 and 13,000 people were executed at Saydnaya over five years.

Witness accounts

A former judge who saw the hangings:

"They kept them [hanging] there for 10 to 15 minutes. Some didn't die because they are light. For the young ones, their weight wouldn't kill them. The officers' assistants would pull them down and break their necks."

'Hamid', a former military officer who was detained at Saydnaya:

"If you put your ears on the floor, you could hear the sound of a kind of gurgling. This would last around 10 minutes... We were sleeping on top of the sound of people choking to death. This was normal for me then."

Former detainee 'Sameer' describes alleged abuse:

"The beating was so intense. It was as if you had a nail, and you were trying again and again to beat it into a rock. It was impossible, but they just kept going. I was wishing they would just cut off my legs instead of beating them any more."

Source: Amnesty International

Although it does not have evidence of executions taking place since December 2015, the group says it has no reason to believe they have stopped and that thousands more were likely to have died.

Amnesty says these practices amounted to war crimes and crimes against humanity.

It also notes that death sentences have to be approved by the grand mufti and by either the defence minister or the army's chief of staff, who are deputised to act on behalf of President Bashar al-Assad.

The human rights group says it contacted the Syrian authorities about the allegations in early January but has received no response.

Last August, Amnesty reported that an estimated 17,723 people had died in custody as a result of torture and the deprivation of food, water and medical care between March 2011 - when the uprising against President Assad began - and December 2015. That figure did not include those allegedly hanged at Saydnaya.

Flu Takes a Toll in NYC With 4 Children Reported Dead in Seasonal Outbreak

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The CDC has reported 15 pediatric deaths nationwide this flu season.

— -- The flu season has been particularly rough in New York City this year, with four pediatric influenza deaths reported in the city, all in January, according to New York State Health Department.

The flu has been spreading across the country, with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention seeing epidemic levels of flu activity late last month.

There have been 15 flu-related pediatric deaths in the nation this flu season, the CDC reported last week.

New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania all reported high levels of flu-like activity, according to a CDC flu report last week.

Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, said that while the deaths are tragic, the number of New York cases is not unusual for the flu season. The New York State Department of Health did not disclose the ages of the children or whether they had been vaccinated or had underlying conditions that put them at additional risk for complications.

"Every year in [Vanderbilt's] pediatric emergency room come children who are otherwise clearly healthy, and they are seriously ill with the flu," Schaffner said. "The lesson is that flu can strike even healthy children."

During the previous flu season, 89 pediatric deaths related to the flu virus were reported in the U.S., according to the CDC.

Public health experts have been concerned about vaccination rates, since pediatricians may have difficulty getting some children vaccinated against the flu if they have an aversion to needles, Schaffner noted. While in the past doctors could vaccinate needle-averse children with a flu mist vaccine, they were advised not to use the flu nasal spray this year because it was found less effective than a vaccine injection.

"It's clear that the substantial majority of children who die from influenza every year have not been vaccinated," Schaffner said, emphasizing that he was speaking generally and not about the recent deaths in New York.

Flu symptoms include headache, fever, joint pain and cough. The seasonal flu generally spreads across the U.S. from November till March, with the peak number of cases often occurring in February.

The number of people affected every year can vary widely, but generally, the CDC reports that "millions of people are sickened, hundreds of thousands are hospitalized and thousands or tens of thousands of people die from flu every year." Children under the age of 1 are at increased likelihood of developing complications if they contract the flu.

Twitter has announced more changes intended to limit the amount of abuse on the network.

It comes in the wake of heavy criticism about harassment on its platform and a failure to find a buyer after months of rumours about takeovers.

It has announced three main changes, which will be rolled out in the "coming weeks".

It includes moves to identify people who have been permanently suspended and stop them creating new accounts.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Twitter has had to address the issue of abuse following a lack of interest from potential buyers.

Google, Apple and Disney were all reportedly interested but walked away from any deal.

There are also questions over how the social network will grow, as it struggles to attract a new audience and make money in the long term.

Nick Thomas, an analyst with research company Ovum, said the changes would be welcome news for those who saw the platform as "an increasingly toxic place on which to engage" but asked if it was a case of "too little, too late".

He added that the platform's most high-profile tweeter - President Donald Trump - may be adding to its issues.

"The fact that Twitter is now the preferred communications channel of the most divisive figure in global politics is at best a mixed blessing for the platform," Mr Thomas said.

"The US's tweeter-in-chief certainly generates profile for the platform through his regular updates, but those who oppose him consider that his style and tone have given unwanted validation to the unsavoury trolls whose presence makes the site unattractive to other users and advertisers."

The flight attended saved a younger girl life. From trafficking

SEATTLE - An Alaska Airlines flight attendant's instincts and quick thinking helped save a teenage girl from human trafficking in 2011, according to WTSP.

Flight attendant Shelia Frederick, 49, first thought something was off during a flight from Seattle to San Francisco when she noticed a teenage girl with greasy blond hair. The teen "looked like she had been through pure hell," Frederick said.

The girl, who she thought was about 14 years old, was traveling with an older, well-dressed man.

Feeling uneasy about the situation, the 10-year flight veteran approached the duo and tried to strike up a conversation. When she did, the man became defensive.

That's when Frederick told the girl under her breath to go to the bathroom, according to WTSP, where she had posted a note to the mirror.

"She wrote back on the note that she needed help," Frederick told WTSP.

Frederick then notified the pilot and police were waiting in the terminal when they landed.

The story is just one of many being highlighted by Airline Ambassadors International, an organization focused on training attendants to spot signs of human trafficking, NBC News reports.

"The front line employees are not being trained," said Nancy Rivard, president of the organization. "We're funding this from our own pocketbooks."

Rivard and several of her team flew to Houston before the Super Bowl to hold a two-day training session for airline employees on how to recognize human trafficking.

Human trafficking jumped 35.7 percent in the United States in 2016, according to a new report from the National Human Trafficking Hotline.

SPRING, Texas ( KIAH) - A simple roof repair has a Spring woman in a sticky situation.

When roofers came out to Latanja Levine's house, they made a startling discovery.

"They discovered there was a bee problem, told me that he couldn't do anything on the roof until something was done with the bees," Levine said. "So we looked at the bees to remove them enough so that they could work."

The homeowner said professionals were able to close the hole from which the bees were coming, allowing the construction works to get back to work. But when Levine returned to her two-story house, she realized the situation was worse than imagined.

She found honey dripping from the walls! It's a problem she has been dealing with for three to four days, Levine said.

"It's coming in from the ceiling, down to the walls," she said. "I'm mopping it up, mopping in the walls. It's all over the curtains here- just honey. They're probably ruined.

Honey drips from walls of bee-infested home

When Newsfix visited the home, the sweet syrup was found pouring down the walls in thin straight lines and creating sticky puddles on the floor.

"It's going to other walls and coming through other places and you can see it's coming through cracks and crevices in the crown molding," Levine said.

The federal government added honey bees to the national endangered species list last year, so killing the insects is out of the question.

"Behind me is where they pulled out the bees, they smoked them out and put them directly into their colonies. There must've been 50,000 bees and they were swarming everywhere, but I asked them if they got the Queen bee," Levine said.

The answer was 'no.'

Levine has a big problem on her hands with the queen bee still ruling the hive.
