Is Samsung's Galaxy Fold already a flop?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It's a small delay that could have billion-dollar repercussions for Samsung, the world's biggest smartphone maker. Analysts say the company could be in trouble after another delay for the Galaxy Fold, the new device that was supposed to be their signature smartphone.

The Galaxy Fold was touted by Samsung as the next big thing - a small, slim, sleek cellphone that unfolds to a pad-sized screen - all with a price tag of $2,000. But now the phone has big problems, and it hasn't even hit stores yet. The trouble started when early reviews came back extremely negative, and many reported significant issues with the physical layout of the folding phone. And the problems were hard to avoid. In one instance, a reviewer removed a protective layer over the screen that the company didn't warn was necessary. The reviewer said it looked just like other plastic screen protectors that are supposed to be discarded when purchasing new electronics.

Another reviewer noted the screen became dented after coming into contact with everyday items in his pocket. And when folded, there is a 7 millimeter gap that can easily catch debris and become problematic for the display. Still another reviewer showed photos of the display, unfolded and powered up, but half-dead after less than an hour of use. That foldable display has been the subject of much of the controversy. It's made of plastic, not the durable glass we've come to know on other smartphones over the past decade.

Samsung has now officially delayed the release of the Galaxy Fold, but didn't set a new date, which means it's still not clear when the phone will be available for purchase. They say they're working on fixing the folding problems and will announce a new date as soon as possible. But in the meantime, other smartphone manufacturers are starting to develop their own foldable technology, and that's not good news for Samsung.

Australia has yet again declared war on an animal species. This time, instead of emus, it's feral cats.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
They're cute, they're fluffy, and they're public enemy number one in Australia.

Australia is at war - with feral cats. By 2020, the government wants to kill two million free roaming cats, a large chunk of the total feral cat population, which is estimated to be between 2 and 6 million.

Some areas of Australia have gone even further. In the northeastern state of Queensland, there's even a council offering a $10 ($7) bounty per feral cat scalp - a policy People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has lambasted as " cruel."

Nor is the problem exclusive to Australia. In neighboring New Zealand, a prominent environmentalist has proposed a cat-free future, with both domestic and feral cats either controlled or culled.

So why do the Antipodes dislike cats so much?

Killer cats

The answer is simple: Cats, especially feral ones, are killers.

The first cat is thought to have arrived in Australia at some point in the 17th century. Since then, their number has ballooned, with the population today estimated to cover 99.8% of the country.

Although feral cats belong to the same species as domestic cats, feral cats live in the wild where they are forced to hunt for survival.

Since they were first introduced by European settlers, feral cats have helped drive an estimated 20 mammal species to extinction, Gregory Andrews, national commissioner of threatened species told the Sydney Morning Herald. According to Andrews, that makes feral cats the single biggest threat to Australia's native species.

And that's significant in Australia, an island nation that was cut off from the rest of the world for thousands of years. Today, an estimated 80% of Australia's mammals and 45% of its birds are found in the wild nowhere else on earth.

For cats, native species are easy prey. Cats are believed to kill more than 1 million native birds, and 1.7 million reptiles across Australia everyday, a spokesperson for Australia's Department of the Environment and Energy told CNN, citing scientific research.

Some of the other species under threat from cats include the brush-tailed rabbit-rat, which the government classifies as vulnerable, and the rat-like golden bandicoot.

"We are not culling cats for the sake of it, we are not doing so because we hate cats," said Andrews.

"We have got to make choices to save animals that we love, and who define us as a nation."

Unlikely critics

The government, which announced its plan to initiate a cull in 2015, has pledged $5 million to support community groups who can target cats on the front line.

But the plan has come under fire - and surprisingly, conservationists are among the critics.

Tim Doherty, a conservation ecologist from Deakin University in Australia, agrees that feral cats take a "big toll" on Australia's native species, but believes the cull is based on shaky science.

"At the time, when the target was set in 2015, we actually didn't know how many feral cats there were in Australia," he said, adding that some estimates at the time put the number at 18 million, which he called a "gross over estimate."

"There's not really a reliable way to estimate across an entire continent, and if you're going to set a target, and if you want it to be meaningful, you need to be able to measure your progress towards it."

Another, more pressing issue, is that merely killing a cat doesn't necessarily save bird or mammal lives - the cat needs to have been living in an area that has threatened animals, he said.

And bounties needed to be focused on a certain area, Doherty said. "It needs to be concentrated rather than a scatter gun approach," he said.

While cats are a big problem, the government had focused heavily on them at the cost of other, more politically sensitive issues like habitat loss caused by urban expansion, logging and mining.

"There's a possibility there that cats are being used as a distraction to some extent," he said. "We also need to have a more holistic approach and address all threats to biodiversity."

Other notable critics of the plan include British singer Morrissey and Brigitte Bardot.

'Cats to go'

In New Zealand there have been calls to put a stop to domestic cats altogether.

The remote island nation, which was one of the last places on earth to be reached by humans, has already announced a bold goal of becoming completely predator free by 2050. According to the government, rats, possums and stoats kill 25 million native birds each year.

New Zealand has no native land mammals besides bats, meaning a large variety of birds - including the country's flightless Kiwi - were able to thrive in a land without predators. Now, 37% of New Zealand's bird species are threatened. What's more, many of New Zealand's native birds are ground-dwellers, making them susceptible to cats, according to the country's Department of Conservation.

In 2013, well-known New Zealand economist Gareth Morgan drew the ire of cat lovers - including the then-Prime Minister John Key, himself the owner of a cat named Moonbeam - when he launched a campaign called " Cats to Go," encouraging cat lovers to avoid replacing their pet when it dies.

"Cats are the only true sadists of the animal world, serial killers who torture without mercy," he said.

CNN has reached out to Morgan for comment.

Two years later, then-Conservation Minister Maggie Barry urged authorities to start putting down stray cats to save native bird populations, and called for pet cats, which number around 1.134 million according to the New Zealand Companion Animal Council, to be limited to one or two per household.

And last year, Omaui, a small coastal town in New Zealand's South Island considered banning new domestic cats in the area - although it has since backtracked on its plan.

"We're not cat haters, but we want our environment to be wildlife-rich," Omaui Landcare Charitable Trust chairman John Collins said in August last year.

Multiple die in an accident in Colorado.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Police have arrested a semi-truck driver accused of causing a fiery multi-vehicle wreck Thursday on Interstate 70 near Denver, Colo., that left four people dead and six more injured.

Rogel Lazaro Aguilera-Mederos, 23, of Texas, was arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide, police said. He is slated to appear in court on Saturday for an advisement hearing. The charges stemmed from interviews and evidence, Lakewood police spokesman Ty Countryman said.

Authorities said it did not appear drugs or alcohol were involved and the crash does not appear to be intentional. Officials said they were looking into whether the truck's brakes were working. Aguilera-Mederos was not seriously injured in the crash. Lakewood Police spokesman John Romero told Fox News that Romero was in the United States legally and possessed a green card.

Law enforcement officials said the coroner's office was working on determining the identities of those who died. Six people were transported to the hospital with serious injuries. Their conditions were not immediately clear.

The 23-year-old semi-truck driver was heading down a hill when he slammed into traffic that had slowed due to a previous crash ahead of him, officials said.

The collision in the Denver suburb of Lakewood started a chain reaction and a diesel fuel spill, Countryman earlier told the Denver Post. The fire was said to be so intense that it melted the roadway and the metal off cars.

"This is looking to be one of the worst accidents we've had here in Lakewood," he said.

"We're still trying to identify what some of the cars even are," Countryman said.

The Colorado Department of Transportation announced Friday that I-70 will remain closed in both directions at Denver West. Authorities said the highway may not open until Saturday due to the pavement conditions.

A spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board said the federal agency is monitoring local authorities' investigation into the crash but it is not involved. Peter Knudson said NTSB teams get involved when the agency sees an opportunity to issue new traffic safety recommendations.

YouTuber Josh McCutcheon, who captured a video of a semi-truck speeding down the interstate. He posted the video on his YouTube channel, Burger Planet.

"Oh my God!" he was heard saying.

Josh Laipply, the chief engineer with the Colorado Department of Transportation, warned drivers that they need to be more careful on the road.

"I think that we lose sight that vehicles are deadly weapons and all of us get a little careless at times and need to be more careful when we're driving," he said.

Trump says ‘no money’ paid to North Korea for Otto Warmbier

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
President Trump on Friday said "no money" was paid to North Korea for Otto Warmbier, after reports that the U.S. received a $2 million hospital bill from Pyongyang for the late American prisoner's care.

"No money was paid to North Korea f or Otto Warmbier, not two Million Dollars, not anything else. This is not the Obama Administration that paid 1.8 Billion Dollars for four hostages, or gave five terroist[sic] hostages plus, who soon went back to battle, for traitor Sgt. Bergdahl!" Trump tweeted Friday.
NORTH KOREA GAVE US $2M HOSPITAL BILL OVER CARE OF AMERICAN OTTO WARMBIER, SOURCES SAY
The Washington Post first reported that North Korean authorities insisted the U.S. envoy sent to retrieve Warmbier, 21, who was a student of the University of Virginia, sign a pledge to pay the bill before allowing Warmbier's comatose body to return to the United States. Sources confirmed the bill and the amount to Fox News on Thursday.

Sources told the post that the envoy signed an agreement to pay the medical bill on instructions from the president, but a source told Fox News that the U.S. did not ever pay money to North Korea.

The White House declined to comment when asked on the bill, with Press Secretary Sarah Sanders saying in a statement that: "We do not comment on hostage negotiations, which is why they have been so successful during this administration."

Meanwhile, the president added: "'President[sic] Donald J. Trump is the greatest hostage negotiator that I know of in the history of the United States. 20 hostages, many in impossible circumstances, have been released in last two years. No money was paid.' Cheif[sic] Hostage Negotiator, USA!"

Warmbier was on tour in North Korea when he allegedly stole a propaganda sign from a hotel. He was arrested in January 2016 and sentenced to 15 years in prison with hard labor in March 2016. Warmbier, for unknown reasons, fell into a coma while in custody and was held in that condition for an additional 17 months.

North Korean officials did not tell American officials until June 2017 that Warmbier had been unconscious the entire time. He died less than a week after he returned to the U.S. North Korean officials, though, have repeatedly denied accusations that Warmbier was tortured, instead claiming that he had suffered from botulism and then slipped into a coma after taking a sleeping pill.
AMERICAN PRISONERS HELD IN NORTH KOREA ON THEIR WAY HOME AFTER POMPEO VISIT, TRUMP SAYS
Fred and Cindy Warmbier sued North Korea over their son's death and in December were awarded $501 million in damages - money that the Hermit Kingdom will probably never pay.

While the Warmbiers blamed North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Trump has said he believes Kim's claims that he did not know about the student's treatment.

Trump and Kim have met in two separate summits. The most recent, held in February, ended without an agreement on denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, told Fox News: "Otto Warmbier was mistreated by North Korea in so many ways, including his wrongful conviction and harsh sentence, and the fact that for 16 months they refused to tell his family or our country about his dire condition they caused. No, the United States owes them nothing. They owe the Warmbier family everything."

Last year, the Trump administration was also able to save three American prisoners held by North Korea. Kim Dong Chul, Tony Kim, and Kim Hak Song were all detained in North Korea. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo brought the three Americans home last May, and said they were all in "good health."

Multiple people died and at least 10 others were injured in a fiery crash on a Colorado highway that involved at least 15 cars and semi trucks.

Officials did not specify the number of people killed, but said there were "multiple fatalities" in the Thursday crash and subsequent fire on Interstate 70 in Lakewood, Colorado, about 8 miles west of Denver. One firefighter was among the people taken to a local hospital when debris, possibly a tire, exploded.

The accident occurred at around 4:30 p.m. when a semitrailer slammed into several stopped cars at a high rate of speed during a traffic jam, police said. The driver of that semi survived.

"I-70 eastbound traffic was at a standstill or close to a standstill because of a crash way up ahead. ... The semi was eastbound and ended up colliding with the stopped cars," Lakewood Police Department agent Ty Countryman said Thursday night. "We're almost four or five hours into this and our crash investigation has really yet to begin -- given the magnitude of the size of this crash."

KMGH

Authorities avoided giving firm numbers at a press conference on Thursday evening because rescue workers were still working to put out hot spots on the scene.

"The back of my truck lifted up and shoved me forward, and I was hitting other cars," Brian Dickey, who was caught up in the accident, told Denver ABC affiliate KMGH. "When I came to a stop I look in my rearview mirror and all I saw was a bunch of flames. And I jumped out of the vehicle as fast as I could. There was so much fire at the time that I couldn't even really approach any of the other vehicles to see if there was any other survivors or what."

He said the accident could end up being one of the worst in the city's history.

"This is looking to be one of the worst accidents we've had here in Lakewood," Countryman said.

Authorities said at least 12 cars and three tractor trailers were involved, but Countryman said those figures could change by Friday morning as investigators start "pulling things apart."

KMGH

"It's very hard to tell, given the fire that happened when the crash took place," Countryman said. "It is true carnage there as far as the debris, what's left of cars and trucks, along with the cargoes that were in the semis and things like that."

Countryman said one semi was carrying wood, another was carrying gravel and the third may have been hauling mattresses. The truck carrying wood appears to be the "one that drove into it all," he said.

Investigators say they are looking at social video from the scene that captured footage of a semi speeding past stopped cars just seconds before the collision. The highway was closed in both directions after the accident and drivers were urged to avoid the area.

No charges had been filed against any of the drivers as of late Thursday evening.

ABC New's Clayton Sandell, Becky Perlow and Marilyn Heck contributed to this report.

Arrest made in double homicide of ex-pro hockey player, community advocate, police say

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A man who was already in custody on suspicion of burglarizing two homes in Irvine, Calif. was arrested Thursday in connection with the slayings of a former professional hockey player and a mother of two in Newport Beach, Calif.

Wendi Miller, 48, and Darren Partch, 38, were discovered dead in Partch's condominium Sunday evening when his roommate returned home from an Easter weekend getaway. Police were called to the home around 9:30 p.m. and did not detect any sign of forced entry.

Police said suspect Jamon Rayon Buggs, 44, of Huntington Beach, was being held at the Orange County Jail on suspicion of breaking into two homes in Irvine on April 20-21 when police charged him in the double homicide case, FOX 11 of Los Angeles reported.
ONCE-VIRAL HOMELESS HERO 'KAI THE HITCHHIKER' CONVICTED IN 2013 MURDER, FACES LIFE IN PRISON

Buggs was booked on suspicion of attempted burglary, shooting into an inhabited dwelling, and possession of a firearm by a felon, and hit-and-run for a previous incident before being slapped with the double murder charges, KTLA-TV reported.

He was being held on $1 million bond.

Friends told police they last saw Miller and Partch early Saturday morning when Miller offered to give Partch a ride home from a bar. Authorities announced Monday they were investigating the deaths as homicides without disclosing the nature of the relationship between the two.

Partch previously played minor league hockey as a forward for teams including the Waterloo Black Hawks and San Diego Gulls, according to Hockeydb.com.

Miller was the CEO of Wings for Justice, a nonprofit organization that advocates for children in the family court system. She worked for more than 12 years as a licensed psychologist in California and Michigan counseling children, individuals, couples and families and authored two books related to treating domestic violence victims, according to her online biography.

Luke Carpenter, identified by the Mercury News of San Jose as Miller's son, wrote on Facebook that his mother was fatally shot. He added, "It was told to us that she did not suffer. The police are still investigating all the details."

According to police, Buggs' first attempted burglary occurred Saturday evening. He allegedly tried to break into a home in Irvine around 11:35 p.m. before the homeowner confronted him. Police said Buggs fled the scene, firing a single round outside the residence, KTLA reported.

A second homeowner reported an attempted burglary Sunday after reviewing surveillance footage that allegedly showed Buggs trying to force his way into the front door around 5 a.m. before fleeing, police said.

Police attempted to pull over a suspicious vehicle in the area around 12:15 a.m. Monday. The driver, later identified as Buggs, refused to stop before crashing his vehicle and running into an unoccupied home. Irvine police SWAT officers, the Anaheim Police Department and the Orange County Sheriff's Department all responded to the scene before Buggs eventually surrendered around 4 a.m.

Anyone with information about Buggs's location before his arrest, or the case in general, are encouraged to call Detective Rick Henry at 949-644-3797. The investigation is ongoing.

Kim Jong Un has limos, no one knows how he got them.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
German automaker Daimler, which makes armored limousines used by North Korea n leader Kim Jong Un, says it has no idea where he got them and has no business dealings with the North.

Interested in North Korea?

Add North Korea as an interest to stay up to date on the latest North Korea news, video, and analysis from ABC News.

Kim has raised eyebrows by using Daimler-branded stretch limousines at several very high-profile summits, including his meeting this week with Russian President Vladimir Putin and both of his earlier summits with President Donald Trump.

The sale of luxury goods, including limousines, is banned under U. N. sanctions intended to put pressure on North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons.

Kim nevertheless had two limos waiting for him at Vladivostok station - a Mercedes Maybach S600 Pullman Guard and a Mercedes Maybach S62. He is believed to have also used the S600 Pullman Guard for his summits with Trump in Singapore in June last year and in Hanoi in February.

"We have absolutely no idea how those vehicles were delivered to North Korea," Daimler spokeswoman Silke Mockert said in a written response to an Associated Press report Wednesday on the limousines . "For Daimler, the correct export of products in conformance with the law is a fundamental principle of responsible entrepreneurial activity."

Daimler, based in Stuttgart, Germany, is one of the world's biggest and more prestigious automobile companies. It is one of the biggest providers of high-end passenger cars and the world's largest producer of trucks above 6 tons.

On its home page, the multinational giant boasts of selling vehicles and services in nearly all the countries of the world and of having production facilities in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Africa.

North Korea, however, isn't one of its official customers.

"Our company has had no business connections with North Korea for far more than 15 years now and strictly complies with E.U. and U.S. embargoes," she said. "To prevent deliveries to North Korea and to any of its embassies worldwide, Daimler has implemented a comprehensive export control process. Sales of vehicles by third parties, especially of used vehicles, are beyond our control and responsibility."

Kim's ability to procure the limousines anyway is a good example of how porous the international sanctions tend to be.

According to Daimler, the Mercedes-Benz Pullman limousines offer their passengers "a superbly appointed setting for discreet meetings."

The version used by Kim is believed to be equipped with all the key communications and entertainment systems so that, according to a company description of the car, its occupants can remain "fully in touch with the rest of the world while enjoying the luxury and comfort of their own very special place in it."

CVS moves into dental care with teeth-straightening service

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
CVS Health is venturing into dental care with plans to offer a relatively new teeth-straightening service.

The drugstore chain said Thursday that it will add SmileDirectClub locations to hundreds of its stores, where customers can get started on getting their teeth straightened without an in-person visit with a dentist or orthodontist. That lack of an office visit has drawn criticism from orthodontists.

CVS Health and other drugstores have been pushing in recent years to add more services to their store locations, in part to help their customers stay health y. They're also trying to attract customers for profitable beauty products and stave off competition like the online retail giant Amazon.com, which provides same-day delivery for many of the products that drugstores sell outside their pharmacies.

Under the CVS plan, customers get a 3D image of their mouth made by a SmileDirect employee at one of the drugstore locations. The image is sent to a dentist or orthodontist who approves the patient's treatment plan. Patients are shipped clear, removable aligners designed to straighten their teeth.

They check in remotely with a dentist or orthodontist, often by smartphone. The service costs $1,850 before insurance.

The American Association of Orthodontists has criticized the service, warning that in-person visits are important in this type of care. Dentists can spot gum disease during these visits and X-rays can detect bone loss not seen in a photo, the group's lawyer Sean Murphy said.

"Our concern is patient health and safety," Murphy said.

CVS Pharmacy President Kevin Hourican said he has no concerns about safety with SmileDirect, which he said provides a "high quality" product and limits care to patients who don't have complex dental needs.

SmileDirect spokeswoman Carrie Moore said the company, which started in 2014, has served more than half a million people. She said in an email that it is common for "traditional industry representatives to balk" when a new business model gains acceptance.

CVS Health also will add SmileDirect service as a covered option in the dental care network of its recently acquired Aetna health insurance business. Another insurer, UnitedHealthcare, announced a similar coverage expansion Thursday.

The SmileDirect locations will appear in only a small percentage of CVS Health's 9,800 retail locations nationally. But company officials say they may eventually expand to more than a thousand locations. The company started testing the approach in a few stores last fall.

CVS Health found in its pilot that the SmileDirect locations attracted younger, new customers.

"People want to improve their smile, and they feel better about themselves," Hourican said.

Andrew 'AJ' Freund, 5-year-old allegedly killed by parents, died from multiple blunt force injuries: Coroner

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The parents charged in the murder of their 5-year-old son, Andrew "AJ" Freund, allegedly forced the little boy to stay in a cold shower "for an extended period of time" and may have "struck" him, according to court documents.

AJ's parents, Andrew "Drew" Freund Sr. and JoAnn Cunningham, have been charged with his murder, police said.

AJ, of Crystal Lake, Illinois, was reported missing on April 18, prompting a massive, week-long search. The deadly assault occurred on or about April 15, according to court documents.

AJ's parents ultimately provided information that led investigators to a body believed to be that of the little boy, Crystal Lake Police Chief Jim Black said at a news conference on Wednesday.

AJ's body was found on Wednesday in a shallow grave, wrapped in plastic, in a rural area near Woodstock, Illinois, Black said.

His cause of death is unclear.

Cunningham, 35, was charged with five counts of first-degree murder; four counts of aggravated battery; two counts of aggravated domestic battery; and one count of failure to report a missing or child death.

Freund, 60, was charged with five counts of first-degree murder; two counts of aggravated battery; one count of aggravated domestic battery; two counts of concealment of homicidal death; and one count of failure to report a missing or child death.

Both are due to be arraigned on Monday.

During the search for AJ, his younger brother was placed in a different home under a Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) safety plan, a DCFS spokesman told ABC News earlier this week.

DCFS has been in contact with AJ's family since AJ was born with opiates in his system in October 2013, DCFS officials said.

In November 2013, AJ was taken into protective custody and placed in foster care, DCFS officials said. AJ was returned to his home in June 2015, according to the agency.

In March 2018, DCFS officials investigated allegations of neglect by AJ's parents; the allegations were unfounded, according to DCFS.

The last contact between DCFS and the family was in December 2018, after Cunningham called the cops to report that AJ's father stole her cellphone and medication. Responding officers found a bruise on one of the children, but were "unable to make a determination of abuse," and released the kids back to the parents, according to police reports. Child protection staffers investigated the allegations of abuse and neglect, but the allegations were unfounded, a DCFS spokesman said.

The news of AJ's death is "heartbreaking," Marc Smith, acting director of Illinois DCFS, said in a statement Wednesday.

"Our priority is the care and safety of Andrew's younger sibling," Smith said. "The Department is committed to conducting a comprehensive review of the entirety of our work with Andrew's family to understand our shortcomings and to be fully transparent with the public on any steps we are taking to address the issues."

A Jewish model is encouraging other Jewish people to leave the democratic party

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
While many across the world celebrate the holiday of Passover this week, commemorating the Biblical account of God freeing the Jewish people from slavery in ancient Egypt, a new movement encouraging young Jews to exit the Democratic Party is underway.

Model Elizabeth Pipko relaunched her efforts to inspire American Jews to reconsider the Democratic Party because she says its leaders disregard their values and beliefs.

Pipko, who made headlines earlier this year when she faced backlash for announcing her support for President Trump and co-founding Jexodus -- now called the Exodus Movement -- told Fox News she is doubling down on her efforts to encourage Jews to leave the Democrats in favor of politicians who align with their core beliefs.
DEMOCRATS HAVE ABANDONED ISRAEL, JEWS SHOULD ABANDON DEMOCRATIC PARTY

"[The Exodus Movement is] hoping to inspire Jews, and I think all people actually, to vote with their conscience and their beliefs and not with any fears whatsoever," Pipko told us. "I think the further the Democrats shift to the left, the harder it is for any religious person, I think, to align with them."

"[The Democrats'] failure to condemn the anti-Semitism -- there's a lot of things that are happening in our country that are proving how divided we are and I thought it was time to unite people of similar beliefs," she said. "Any time you turn on the TV, you're told that you're wrong if you disagree with what [the Democrats are] telling you. You're told that you're wrong if you're religious in any way and I thought it was time to unite those people."

Pipko, 23, said Trump's recent recognition of Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights, reversing more than a half-century of U.S. policy, has definitely helped bolster interest in her organization. But the New York native says it's actually the Democrats that are the No. 1 driver for people to join Exodus.

"What's really hitting people is actually the other side. If you look at just 10 years ago, Democrats and Republicans both supported Israel very equally - it was a bi-partisan issue," Pipko said. "Then all of a sudden we have Donald Trump getting a town named after him in the Golan Heights and we have 20 or almost 20 Democrats [running for president in 2020] and none of them are coming out and saying they want to focus on the Israeli-U.S. relationship.

"Aside from saying [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu is a racist and saying terrible things about Israel, it's becoming a much more controversial issue than ever before."
KEVIN SORBO: WHY IS HOLLYWOOD SO AFRAID OF GOD?
Pipko, who has put her modeling career on hold to focus her efforts on Exodus, recalled the time when she hid her political beliefs from her friends and industry contacts. But after working for the 2016 Trump presidential campaign, where she met her husband, she decided it was time to come clean.

"I think it was just time. I think I spent two years kind of wondering what would have happened if I just announced it? I kind of realized that once I reached a certain age, it's time to not be scared anymore," she said.

But it was after Kanye West first spoke out about Trump that Pipko really felt she should come forward.
DEAN CAIN SAYS ALYSSA MILANO-LED HOLLYWOOD BOYCOTT OVER GEORGIA'S 'HEARTBEAT BILL' IS A 'HUGE MISTAKE'
"[Kanye] came out with his Trump support, not because of anything political, simply because he was tired of living in fear. And I was like, 'Why would I ever have to live in fear of supporting my president? It doesn't make any sense.'"

While Pipko said she has received a lot of support from those excited about Exodus, she said those in the modeling industry "distanced themselves" from her shortly after.

"The [response from the] modeling industry was exactly what I expected. A lot of the photographers and people that I had grown super close with kind of blocked me on social media and distanced themselves," she recalled.

A question the 23-year-old gets a lot is: "Why do you support Trump?"

"I support his support for the State of Israel and moving the embassy [to Jerusalem], something that so many presidents promised to do and they didn't. I support that he puts our country first, something that is shockingly not heard of apparently with candidates that are running for president in this country.

"I support the way that he shares his views the same way that I share my views. I support the fact that he's not politically correct and tells it like it is and gets young people excited for their futures in the country...and apart from politics, he also continued on and fought probably every critic...that told him he was never going to do it. He continued on, stayed confident and became probably the most powerful man in the world. So if you can't get inspiration from that, then that's a deeper issue."

Australia has declared war on... cats?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
They're cute, they're fluffy, and they're public enemy number one in Australia.

Australia is at war - with feral cats. By 2020, the government wants to kill two million free roaming cats, a large chunk of the total feral cat population, which is estimated to be between 2 and 6 million.

Some areas of Australia have gone even further. In the northeastern state of Queensland, there's even a council offering a $10 ($7) bounty per feral cat scalp - a policy People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has lambasted as " cruel."

Nor is the problem exclusive to Australia. In neighboring New Zealand, a prominent environmentalist has proposed a cat-free future, with both domestic and feral cats either controlled or culled.

So why do the Antipodes dislike cats so much?

Killer cats

The answer is simple: Cats, especially feral ones, are killers.

The first cat is thought to have arrived in Australia at some point in the 17th century. Since then, their number has ballooned, with the population today estimated to cover 99.8% of the country.

Although feral cats belong to the same species as domestic cats, feral cats live in the wild where they are forced to hunt for survival.

Since they were first introduced by European settlers, feral cats have helped drive an estimated 20 mammal species to extinction, Gregory Andrews, national commissioner of threatened species told the Sydney Morning Herald. According to Andrews, that makes feral cats the single biggest threat to Australia's native species.

And that's significant in Australia, an island nation that was cut off from the rest of the world for thousands of years. Today, an estimated 80% of Australia's mammals and 45% of its birds are found in the wild nowhere else on earth.

For cats, native species are easy prey. Cats are believed to kill more than 1 million native birds, and 1.7 million reptiles across Australia everyday, a spokesperson for Australia's Department of the Environment and Energy told CNN, citing scientific research.

Some of the other species under threat from cats include the brush-tailed rabbit-rat, which the government classifies as vulnerable, and the rat-like golden bandicoot.

"We are not culling cats for the sake of it, we are not doing so because we hate cats," said Andrews.

"We have got to make choices to save animals that we love, and who define us as a nation."

Unlikely critics

The government, which announced its plan to initiate a cull in 2015, has pledged $5 million to support community groups who can target cats on the front line.

But the plan has come under fire - and surprisingly, conservationists are among the critics.

Tim Doherty, a conservation ecologist from Deakin University in Australia, agrees that feral cats take a "big toll" on Australia's native species, but believes the cull is based on shaky science.

"At the time, when the target was set in 2015, we actually didn't know how many feral cats there were in Australia," he said, adding that some estimates at the time put the number at 18 million, which he called a "gross over estimate."

"There's not really a reliable way to estimate across an entire continent, and if you're going to set a target, and if you want it to be meaningful, you need to be able to measure your progress towards it."

Another, more pressing issue, is that merely killing a cat doesn't necessarily save bird or mammal lives - the cat needs to have been living in an area that has threatened animals, he said.

And bounties needed to be focused on a certain area, Doherty said. "It needs to be concentrated rather than a scatter gun approach," he said.

While cats are a big problem, the government had focused heavily on them at the cost of other, more politically sensitive issues like habitat loss caused by urban expansion, logging and mining.

"There's a possibility there that cats are being used as a distraction to some extent," he said. "We also need to have a more holistic approach and address all threats to biodiversity."

Other notable critics of the plan include British singer Morrissey and Brigitte Bardot.

'Cats to go'

In New Zealand there have been calls to put a stop to domestic cats altogether.

The remote island nation, which was one of the last places on earth to be reached by humans, has already announced a bold goal of becoming completely predator free by 2050. According to the government, rats, possums and stoats kill 25 million native birds each year.

New Zealand has no native land mammals besides bats, meaning a large variety of birds - including the country's flightless Kiwi - were able to thrive in a land without predators. Now, 37% of New Zealand's bird species are threatened. What's more, many of New Zealand's native birds are ground-dwellers, making them susceptible to cats, according to the country's Department of Conservation.

In 2013, well-known New Zealand economist Gareth Morgan drew the ire of cat lovers - including the then-Prime Minister John Key, himself the owner of a cat named Moonbeam - when he launched a campaign called " Cats to Go," encouraging cat lovers to avoid replacing their pet when it dies.

"Cats are the only true sadists of the animal world, serial killers who torture without mercy," he said.

CNN has reached out to Morgan for comment.

Two years later, then-Conservation Minister Maggie Barry urged authorities to start putting down stray cats to save native bird populations, and called for pet cats, which number around 1.134 million according to the New Zealand Companion Animal Council, to be limited to one or two per household.

And last year, Omaui, a small coastal town in New Zealand's South Island considered banning new domestic cats in the area - although it has since backtracked on its plan.

"We're not cat haters, but we want our environment to be wildlife-rich," Omaui Landcare Charitable Trust chairman John Collins said in August last year.

Multiple dead, 10 injured in a fiery highway crash in Colorado.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Multiple people died and at least 10 others were injured in a fiery crash on a Colorado highway that involved at least 15 cars and semi trucks.

Officials did not specify the number of people killed, but said there were "multiple fatalities" in the Thursday crash and subsequent fire on Interstate 70 in Lakewood, Colorado, about 8 miles west of Denver. One firefighter was among the people taken to a local hospital when debris, possibly a tire, exploded.

The accident occurred at around 4:30 p.m. when a semitrailer slammed into several stopped cars at a high rate of speed during a traffic jam, police said. The driver of that semi survived.

"I-70 eastbound traffic was at a standstill or close to a standstill because of a crash way up ahead. ... The semi was eastbound and ended up colliding with the stopped cars," Lakewood Police Department agent Ty Countryman said Thursday night. "We're almost four or five hours into this and our crash investigation has really yet to begin -- given the magnitude of the size of this crash."

KMGH

Authorities avoided giving firm numbers at a press conference on Thursday evening because rescue workers were still working to put out hot spots on the scene.

"The back of my truck lifted up and shoved me forward, and I was hitting other cars," Brian Dickey, who was caught up in the accident, told Denver ABC affiliate KMGH. "When I came to a stop I look in my rearview mirror and all I saw was a bunch of flames. And I jumped out of the vehicle as fast as I could. There was so much fire at the time that I couldn't even really approach any of the other vehicles to see if there was any other survivors or what."

He said the accident could end up being one of the worst in the city's history.

"This is looking to be one of the worst accidents we've had here in Lakewood," Countryman said.

Authorities said at least 12 cars and three tractor trailers were involved, but Countryman said those figures could change by Friday morning as investigators start "pulling things apart."

KMGH

"It's very hard to tell, given the fire that happened when the crash took place," Countryman said. "It is true carnage there as far as the debris, what's left of cars and trucks, along with the cargoes that were in the semis and things like that."

Countryman said one semi was carrying wood, another was carrying gravel and the third may have been hauling mattresses. The truck carrying wood appears to be the "one that drove into it all," he said.

Investigators say they are looking at social video from the scene that captured footage of a semi speeding past stopped cars just seconds before the collision. The highway was closed in both directions after the accident and drivers were urged to avoid the area.

No charges had been filed against any of the drivers as of late Thursday evening.

ABC New's Clayton Sandell, Becky Perlow and Marilyn Heck contributed to this report.

1000 Cuban migrants escape Mexican immigration facility.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hundreds of Cuban migrants are reported to be on the run Friday in Mexico after a crowd of more than 1,000 burst out of a troubled immigration detention center on its southern border.

Mexico's National Immigration Institute said the mass escape Thursday in Tapachula - which the Associated Press called the largest in recent memory -- involved around 1,300 Cuban migrants, although 700 of them have since returned voluntarily.

The migrants reportedly streamed out of the compound without any resistance, as the institute said its agents weren't armed and "there was no confrontation."

Federal police with riot shields later rushed in to control the situation, as a crowd of angry Cubans whose relatives were being held at the facility gathered outside. The Cubans claimed their relatives reported overcrowding and unsanitary conditions at the facility.

"My wife and child have been in there for 27 days in bad conditions," said Usmoni Velazquez Vallejo, as he waited outside for news. "There is overcrowding, insufficient food and there isn't even medicine for them."

Another Cuban detainee told the AFP: "We have many there... we are very tight, we sleep on the floor."

It's the third time since October that migrants at the facility staged an uprising, according to the news agency.

The center's holding capacity is officially listed at less than 1,000 people, but the escape of 1,300 meant it was probably at least at double its capacity, since not everyone being held there escaped. Residents in the area said that sometimes the facility has held as many as 3,000 people, and a Mexican newspaper cited by Reuters said Haitians and Central Americans also are among the large group who still have not been tracked down.

Elsewhere in the country, a new caravan estimated to contain up to 10,000 migrants is making its way to the U.S.-Mexico border.
