A birthday picnic ended in a big surprise for a Connecticut family when a black bear emerged from the woods and made a beeline for their cupcakes.

Rauf and Laura Majidian captured video of the bear as it raided a table of goodies laid out for their two-year-old son Cyrus's party at their West Hartford home.

The eager ursine scoffed several of the cakes before sauntering off again, ignoring a number of juice boxes and a basket of bread.

"A little scared, I'm a little freaked out, but everyone is safe," Laura Majidian told local station WTNH News, adding that she and other adults there scooped up "armfuls of children" who were playing outside when the bear appeared and carried them indoors.

Rauf Majidian told HLN's Weekend Express that the bear brushed off efforts to scare it off.

"Everyone was in the backyard partying," he said. "[We hear] the first loud noise ... we all turned round and there's the bear.

"All the grownups, we were screaming at the bear. He wasn't fazed."

Connecticut's bear population has increased in recent years, with more than 8,000 sightings reported this year already to the state's energy and environmental protection agency's wildlife division.

"The black bear is an intelligent animal with keen senses of smell and hearing," according to the division. "It can detect the slightest aroma of food, which may lead the bear to campsites and near homes.

"Black bears are generally shy and secretive and usually fearful of humans. However, if they regularly find food near houses and areas of human activity, they can lose their fear of humans."

But, the agency notes: "Black bears are seldom aggressive toward humans, even when cubs are present."

Laura Majidian said last weekend's party was the first time a bear had come to the house, although they were not uncommon in their neighborhood.

"Sometimes we have one in the early morning, like on trash day," she said. "Two nights after the party I saw the bear when we were going out for a walk.

"We'll be talking about it for a long time."

Two college students set out on a leisurely drive along an isolated Alabama forest road last month, but only one returned alive.

Adam Simjee and his girlfriend, Mikayla Paulus, had no idea that their trip would end, according to authorities, in a sudden and deadly shootout with bandits living in the nearby woods.

Now the story has grown even stranger: the two women who allegedly ambushed Simjee and Paulus, killing Simjee, appear to be fans of a growing religious sect, the University of Cosmic Intelligence, whose leader is currently awaiting trial for child abuse in Georgia. Another adherent was charged earlier this year, in a separate incident, with having murdered his mother with a sword.

There is currently no evidence that the organization ordered or was aware of the alleged acts of its adherents, or that its teachings condone violence.

On 14 August, Simjee and Paulus, who were students at the University of Central Florida, were on a roadtrip they had planned as a final getaway before the start of the fall semester. The couple were victims of their own kindness, according to police. While driving on a road in the Talladega national forest, a 400,000-acre nature preserve, they stopped to aid a woman who said she was a stranded motorist.

That woman, Yasmine Hider, allegedly drew a gun to rob them and ordered them into the woods. Simjee, who had a concealed pistol, tried to fight back. He and Hider shot each other, according to police. Simjee succumbed to his wounds as his girlfriend frantically gave CPR.

A companion of Hider's, Krystal Pinkins, was allegedly watching nearby and fled into the forest. Law enforcement trackers later discovered a camp in the nearby woods where people appeared to have been living. Police said that they disarmed Pinkins's son after the five-year-old approached with a loaded shotgun.

Hider and Pinkins were arrested at the scene and Hider taken for gunshot treatment. Both were charged with murder, kidnapping and robbery. Pinkins was also charged with child endangerment.

It is unclear if and how they have pleaded. Due to a gag order, no one involved in the case, including police, prosecutors, defense attorneys and witnesses, can speak to the press.

"Rest in peace," Paulus wrote in a Facebook post announcing her boyfriend's burial. "I'll carry you with me every single day."

Vice News has since reported that Hider and Pinkins were followers of the University of Cosmic Intelligence, which critics describe as a conspiracy theory cult.

The group's leader - Rashad Jamal White, commonly known as Rashad Jamal - is an Atlanta-area social media influencer, rapper and guru whose teachings mix New Age mysticism, polygamy and Afrocentric and black nationalist ideas. Jamal and his followers believe that they are demigods descended from aliens. Adherents refer to themselves as gods and goddesses.

In January, a follower of the University of Cosmic Intelligence, Damien Winslow Washam, was arrested after allegedly attacking several members of his family with a samurai sword, killing his mother.

He had absolutely no remorse whatsoever

Capt Paul Burch

Paul Burch, a captain at the Mobile county sheriff's office, told a local news outlet that there did not appear to be anyone else involved. Washam did not have a known history of violence or of mental illness. He had apparently recently argued with his mother about his marijuana use.

"He had absolutely no remorse whatsoever," Burch said. "That's probably the most shocking part of it."

"He was listening to those conspiracy kind of videos and it was dumb as hell," Washam's father, Hubert Washam, told Vice. "I tried to look at some of these videos and I can't even listen to them, it's so dumb. Lizard people and aliens."

The University of Cosmic Intelligence is prolific on social media and has what appears to be a growing following. Its YouTube channel has 129,000 subscribers. The organization sells crystals and jewelry in an online store.

"My son must have spent three to five thousand dollars on crystals," Hubert Washam told Vice. "He got really strange," he added. "And it didn't seem like, you know - it was strange, but it wasn't like a mental illness to us. It was more like - I don't know. I don't know how to explain it."

The University of Cosmic Intelligence teaches that humans receive energy from the sun, that the government or other forces control the weather, and that aliens visited ancient civilizations.

These kinds of beliefs are common in African American esoteric movements and there is no reason to regard these movements as more violent than other religions, Stephen Finley, a professor at Louisiana State University, told the Guardian.

Such groups "look outward to other planets and the cosmos and UFOs" because it gives "a sense of transcendence" over the history of race and racism in the US, Finley said. "These ideas come to symbolize a new way of thinking about themselves, a new sense of depth and complexity."

Over the past couple of years Hider and Pinkins began following the University of Cosmic Intelligence and sharing its content

According to reporting by Vice, Hider previously worked at a Walmart in Oklahoma, where she also attended a college but did not graduate. Pinkins is a certified home health aide who had worked for a health company in Tennessee, her LinkedIn account says.

Over the past couple of years both began following the University of Cosmic Intelligence and sharing its content. Hider left home and stopped talking to her family. She and Pinkins seem to have set out on some kind of trip, run out of money, and been ejected from a hotel.

Scholars who study new religious movements tend to be skeptical of the idea that people who join such organizations are brainwashed or coerced; rather, they're spiritual seekers drawn to gurus with compelling and attractive world views - "visions of a better world or of higher states of consciousness", Susan Palmer, a researcher at McGill University, told the Guardian.

Charismatic leaders with a knack for rhetoric "capture your imagination and take you on a journey and also make you feel that they care about you and that you're close to them", Palmer said. "I mean, I've felt it listening to leaders whom I totally disagree with - I still feel swept up in it."

Rashad Jamal was arrested earlier this year for child abuse charges including a charge that he molested an ex-girlfriend's child. He denies those allegations, and has said that he has "never, and will never, harm an innocent child".

According to Vice, Jamal previously pleaded guilty to battery and strangulation. He was also previously charged with murder and attempted murder but not convicted. He has not been implicated in the allegations against Hider and Pinkins or Washam.

Jamal, who is jailed in Georgia pending the outcome of the child abuse case, denies that his organization is a cult. "I'm not a cult leader," he told supporters earlier this year. "I stand for righteousness."

Finally after multiple years of wondering, the minds behind the 9/11 attack are waiting for their trial and their results.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
NEW YORK -- Hours before dawn on March 1, 2003, the U.S. scored its most thrilling victory yet against the plotters of the Sept. 11 attacks - the capture of a disheveled Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, hauled away by intelligence agents from a hideout in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

The global manhunt for al-Qaida's No. 3 leader had taken 18 months. But America's attempt to bring him to justice, in a legal sense, has taken much, much longer. Critics say it has become one of the war on terror's greatest failures.

As Sunday's 21st anniversary of the terror attacks approaches, Mohammed and four other men accused of 9/11-related crimes still sit in a U.S. detention center in Guantanamo Bay, their planned trials before a military tribunal endlessly postponed.

The latest setback came last month when pretrial hearings scheduled for early fall were canceled. The delay was one more in a string of disappointments for relatives of the nearly 3,000 victims of the attack. They've long hoped that a trial would bring closure and perhaps resolve unanswered questions.

"Now, I'm not sure what's going to happen," said Gordon Haberman, whose 25-year-old daughter Andrea died after a hijacked plane crashed into the the World Trade Center, a floor above her office.

He's traveled to Guantanamo four times from his home in West Bend, Wisconsin, to watch the legal proceedings in person, only to leave frustrated.

"It's important to me that America finally gets to the truth about what happened, how it was done," said Haberman. "I personally want to see this go to trial."

If convicted at trial, Mohammed could face the death penalty.

When asked about the case, James Connell, an attorney for one of Mohammed's co-defendants - one accused of transferring money to 9/11 attackers - confirmed reports both sides are still "attempting to reach a pretrial agreement" that could still avoid a trial and result in lesser but still lengthy sentences.

David Kelley, a former U.S. attorney in New York who co-chaired the Justice Department's nationwide investigation into the attacks, called the delays and failure to prosecute "an awful tragedy for the families of the victims."

He called the effort to put Mohammed on trial before a military tribunal, rather than in the regular U.S. court system, "a tremendous failure" that was "as offensive to our Constitution as to our rule of law."

"It's a tremendous blemish on the country's history," he said.

The difficulty in holding a trial for Mohammed and other Guantanamo prisoners is partly rooted in what the U.S. did with him after his 2003 capture.

Mohammed and his co-defendants were initially held in secret prisons abroad. Hungry for information that might lead to the capture of other al-Qaida figures, CIA operatives subjected them to enhanced interrogation techniques that were tantamount to torture, human rights groups say. Mohammed was waterboarded - made to feel that he was drowning - 183 times.

A Senate investigation later concluded the interrogations didn't lead to any valuable intelligence. But it has sparked endless pretrial litigation over whether FBI reports on their statements can be used against them - a process not subject to speedy trial rules used in civilian courts.

The torture allegations led to concerns that the U.S. might have ruined its chance to put Mohammed on trial in a civilian court.

But in 2009, President Barack Obama's administration decided to try, announcing that Mohammed would be transferred to New York City and put on trial at a federal court in Manhattan.

"Failure is not an option," Obama said.

But New York City balked at the cost of security and the move never came. Eventually, it was announced Mohammed would face a military tribunal. And then over a dozen years passed.

Kelley said talk of military tribunals two decades ago surprised many in the legal community who had been successfully prosecuting terrorism cases in the decade before. The concept of a tribunal, he said, "came out of the blue. Nobody knew it was coming."

Then-Attorney General John Ashcroft was not in favor of tribunals and had been supportive of the Manhattan federal terrorism prosecutions, he said.

Now, Kelley said, with the passage of time it will be much more difficult to prosecute Mohammed in a tribunal, much less a courtroom. "Evidence goes stale, witness memories fail."

The passage of time hasn't dulled the memories of the victims' families or dampened their interest in witnessing justice.

Eddie Bracken's sister Lucy Fishman was killed at the trade center. The New Yorker opposed Obama's proposal to move the trial to federal court - Mohammed is charged with "a military act," and should be tried by the military, he reasoned. And while he is somewhat frustrated by the delays, he understands them.

"The whole world is looking at us and saying, 'What are they doing after all this time?'" he said. But he realizes the case is "a process that the world is seeing, that needs to be done under a microscope. ... It's up to the United States to do their due diligence, make sure it's done right."

"The wheels of justice turn. They turn slowly, but they turn. And when the time comes, and it's said and done, the world will know what happened," he adds.

While Mohammed has lingered at Guantanamo, the U.S. killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in a 2011 raid and deputy-turned-successor Ayman al-Zawahri in a drone strike just this August.

Investigators with the military commission at Guantanamo Bay said he plotted the 9/11 attacks for three years. They cited a computer hard drive seized at his arrest which they said contained photographs of the 19 hijackers, three letters from bin Laden and information about some hijackers.

Mohammed, at his tribunal hearing, conceded in a written statement that he swore allegiance to Osama bin Laden, that he was on al-Qaida's council and that he served as operational director for bin Laden for the organizing, planning, follow-up and execution of the Sept. 11 plot "from A to Z."

According to the statement, he also took credit for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center; an attempt to down U.S. jetliners using bombs hidden in shoes; the bombing of a nightclub in Indonesia; and plans for a second wave of attacks after the 2001 attacks targeting landmarks like the Sears Tower in Chicago and Manhattan's Empire State Building.

He also claimed credit for other planned attacks, including assassination attempts against then-President Bill Clinton in 1994 or 1995 and an assassination plot against Pope John Paul II at about the same time, the statement said.

Mohammed's nearly two decades in legal limbo differs from the fate of his nephew, Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing that killed six people, injured 1,000 others and left a crater in the parking garage beneath the twin towers.

Yousef is serving life in prison after being convicted at two separate civilian trials. He was also captured in Pakistan, in 1995, but was brought to the United States for trial.

At the time, Yousef said his right to kill people was comparable to the U.S. decision to drop a nuclear bomb in World War II. Mohammed has offered a similar justification, saying through an interpreter at a Guantanamo proceeding that killing people was the "language of any war."

Bracken traveled to Guantanamo in 2012 to watch one hearing for Mohammed and his co-defendants, and would probably go again if a trial ever happened.

"I don't know if I want to go there again to bring back all the hurt and pain. But if I'm allowed to go, then I guess I would go. Yeah. My sister would do that for me."

"She's that type of a woman," he added. Then he corrected himself: "She was that type of a woman."

n late July, as NFL players across the country were dragging their battered bodies back to pre-season camp, the Green Bay Packers posted a slow-motion video of Aaron Rodgers on social media. "Let's do this," the caption read, while the quarterback, dressed in a wife beater tucked into a pair of relaxed fit denim jeans, hair swept back, facial scruff untamed, strode purposefully across a parking lot. The clip was, of course, a tribute to Nicolas Cage's performance in 1997 action classic Con Air. A few weeks later, Rodgers revealed that he had been sent a bust of Cage's head. The bust now sits in Rodgers's locker, next to his shoulder pads, calmly looking on as the NFL's reigning MVP goes about the torrid business of trying to turn himself into a figure of cross-cultural significance.

Is Rodgers America's most interesting athlete, or its most annoying? For much of the 38-year-old's career in the NFL - now entering its 18th season - the question did not even present itself. Quarterbacks are the focal point of every football team, usually the only players with the star power to transcend the sport. But even as he rose to prominence around a decade ago, leading the Packers to the Super Bowl in 2011 and nabbing two league MVP awards in 2011 and 2014, Rodgers remained an extremely talented but mostly unremarkable fixture of the American sporting scene. If he was seen as anything away from the field, it was as something of a social activist. He went on the record with his support for The Enough Project, a nonprofit raising awareness about the use of conflict minerals in cellphone batteries. He traveled to India with the Starkey Hearing Foundation to fit hearing aids on deaf children, taking a detour to see the Dalai Lama. And in 2015, after a fan broke a minute's silence at a Packers game held out of respect for victims of the Paris terrorist attacks with the cry "Muslims suck!", Rodgers used his post-game press conference to eloquently admonish the fan: "It's that kind of prejudicial ideology that I think puts us in the position that we're in today, as a world," he said.

In the past two years, however, as the on-field accolades have piled up (he was named MVP in 2020 and again last season) without ever quite reaping any gains for the team he leads (Green Bay have reached the playoffs but fallen short of the Super Bowl in each of the last three seasons), Rodgers has become that most relentless of sporting cliches: the athlete who cannot be mentioned in news reports without the addition of the qualifier "controversial". The cleanskin quarterback, avatar of the league's "good guys", has been transformed into a symbol of national polarization. Rather than declaiming earnestly on the moral rot of cobalt mining in central Africa, Rodgers is more likely these days to be found on Joe Rogan's podcast or The Pat McAfee Show, complaining about the "woke mob". There's speaking out and there's this: speaking incessantly, without pause, and mostly about yourself.

The proximate cause of this journey from progressive ally to all-purpose cultural punching bag is, perhaps a little disappointingly, Rodgers's views on vaccination. Last summer Rodgers claimed, with pedantic attention to word choice, that he was "immunized" against Covid-19; late last year it emerged he was in fact not vaccinated against the virus (he'd claimed immunization on the basis of an alternative treatment from his personal doctor) and had misrepresented his inoculation status to the league and his teammates, prompting the NFL to fine him for violating its Covid protocol. This contretemps has been enough to radicalize Rodgers, turning him into the kind of self-declared victim who propounds at length on his own "cancel culture casket", while doing his bit to push discredited Covid remedy Ivermectin.

In a trademark move, however, Rodgers has tried to rise above the fray, even as he's continued to stoke the fires of cultural discontent. "I can say with honesty to my detractors and haters, I don't have bitterness towards you, I have nothing but love and appreciation for where you're at in your life and all the different emotions that impact our personalities and our decision-making and our belief system on a day-to-day basis," he told Pat McAfee last week.

McAfee, a former footballer and wrestling commentator whose radio show, which is also broadcast live on YouTube, regularly features extended, free-form conversations with Rodgers, has become a particularly important ally for the Packers star. Rodgers now occupies an exalted position in the mediaverse that has consolidated around figures like McAfee, Rogan (perhaps the most vocal of the self-described vaccine skeptics), and Barstool Sports's Dave Portnoy - a kind of muse for the bros. The signature gesture of this world, and what differentiates it from previous iterations of fratboy media, is that it purports to embrace, rather than reject, intellect and emotion, that whole messy business of having thoughts and feelings; Rodgers speaks often about his love of reading (the only two places he goes in Green Bay, he recently said, are "the grocery store and Barnes & Noble"), and presents his refusal to get vaccinated as a triumph of intellectual will, as the result of research and deep reflection. But someone who genuinely likes books probably wouldn't spend so much time telling McAfee how much they like books. They'd be at home, reading.

It's essential to the Rodgers mythos that we see him not only as a fighter, but as someone with a rich inner life: the reason he can get it done on the field is because he's spent so much time off it "working on himself". Rodgers did not come to success easily: a star quarterback in high school, he was famously rejected by every top-tier college football program (though the University of Illinois offered him a place as a walk-on), and only earned a transfer to the University of California through the community college network. He grew up in a religious family in the town of Chico in inland northern California; later he rejected organized religion. Throughout his life Rodgers has maintained an admirable commitment to doing things his own way, to seeking his own truth. Now, however, he's a fabulously wealthy professional athlete - recently he signed a three-year, $150m deal that will keep him at the Packers into his 40s, enough to take his career earnings close to half-a-billion dollars by the time he retires.

With this success has come a kind of corny self-obsession. In July Rodgers shared a photo of his first tattoo, which looks like the kind of thing you might come up with if you were a conspiracy theorist who wanted to start an accounting firm, telling his 2 million Instagram followers: "There's a deep and meaningful story and connection to absolutely each element of this art piece, and I'll share a little more about that one day."

Rodgers has also been vocal about his use of ayahuasca: twice now he has descended on the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu and then taken the psychoactive brew, forging an unlikely spiritual connection between the Sacred Valley and Lambeau Field. Rodgers claims ayahuasca has opened his mind ("It changes the way you look at the world, you feel way more connected") and made him enjoy football again. These two trips to Peru have re-prioritized his own need for "self-love" ("I love myself. Period. Period. Period."), a point Rodgers recently made at length in an interview with Aubrey Marcus, a self-described "author, podcaster, entrepreneur, filmmaker, philosopher, poet, husband" who is also the founder of Onnit, a "globally disruptive brand" based on a "holistic health philosophy" called "Total Human Optimization".

Whatever the ickiness of his association with salesman of this variety (how long until we get an Aaron Rodgers-endorsed nootropic?), "total human optimization" offers a neat summary of what Rodgers appears to be going through. Desperately, it seems, the man is searching for something, anything, to make himself interesting, to show us he's much more than just an athlete. Gaze on me, he seems to be telling us, and appreciate the profound non-footballing mind within this champion body.

At the same time Rodgers has tried to market himself as a kind of everyman. There was the stint last year guest hosting on Jeopardy!, which led to excitable calls for him to become the game show's post-Alex Trebek frontman. There's the silly mustache he wore for a few years (crazy guy!). There's a social media feed that goes heavy on golf clips and memes from The Office, the pop culture equivalent of a burger and fries. Then, of course, there are the attempts at crowd-pleasing internet comedy, like that pre-season video. To be clear, there is something decidedly lame about a 38-year-old man fishing for likes with a Con Air parody video. The ironic Nicolas Cage tribute is maybe the internet's deadest joke. Perhaps this is simply what it means to be a contrarian, to live life against the grain, rejecting convention and spurning fashion: perhaps there is a special courage - the courage of the elite athlete - that comes from being middle aged in the year of our lord 2022 and uploading a Harlem Shake.

But this is the Rodgers way: self-revelation in the service of maximum exposure. Things have been calmer for the NFL since the traumas of the Trump-Kaepernick years: the refusal of players to stand for the national anthem or accept the hegemony of the police state no longer attracts national news. But the tensions at the heart of the NFL remain. Rodgers, who expressed public support for Kaepernick and defended players who kneeled for the anthem (while also stressing, in a characteristic threading of the needle, that "we love and support and appreciate the troops"), offers a reconciliation of sorts for the rival camps of a league torn between conservatives and progressives. A warrior of both the field and the culture, an individual rights fetishist who wants the collective to work too, a footballer with feelings, a winner with a sense of humor, a jock who fancies himself a nerd, Rodgers offers the third way - the way of "just asking questions" contrarianism, in which everyone can find a capacious home for their inner contradictions. He wears the face of reason while spouting nonsense - a hero the whole of America can get behind.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, the NYPD said a "42-year-old male victim was approached by an unidentified male who tackled the victim into a fruit stand and then repeatedly punched the victim multiple times in the face and forcibly removed his motorcycle key, helmet and sneakers."

Video of the incident shows one man chasing after another before they both crash into the fruit stand, sending items tumbling over the sidewalk.

A struggle then ensues with the suspect continuing to chase after the victim, who eventually loses his footing and hits the ground a second time.

Queen Elizabeth has had a love of corgis starting when she got one as a family pet growing up, at the age of 18 she got a corgi named Susan and has owned over 30 descendants of Susan.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In a way, they, too, were a beloved part of her royal family, her constant companions.

Perhaps no animal has been so closely associated with a world figure as corgis were with Queen Elizabeth II.

When Britain's longest-ruling monarch died Wednesday at age 96, it sparked an outpouring of photographs and drawings of her and her diminutive dogs throughout the years.

Fellow dog owners are already planning to celebrate the queen's life of service with a corgi parade outside of Buckingham Palace, the U.K. newspaper, the "Daily Mirror" reports.

The iconic pairing began in 1933, when Elizabeth's father King George VI -- then still the Duke of York -- purchased Dookie, a Pembroke Welsh corgi, for the family.

In 1944, as an 18th birthday gift, Elizabeth received the first corgi of her own named Susan. Over the next 78 years, she's believed to have owned more than 30 of Susan's descendants, including a few corgi-dachshund mixes called "dorgi"-- an accidental hybrid created after one of Elizabeth's corgis mated with a dachshund owned by Princess Margaret.

"My corgis are family," the queen once said, according to Vanity Fair.

The American Kennel Club praised Elizabeth as "one of the most prolific and dedicated Pembroke Welsh Corgi breeders and ambassadors that the world has ever seen."

The little dogs traveled the world alongside Elizabeth and Prince Philip, and were always spotted at her estates Balmoral Castle and Windsor Castle.

Roger Mugford, the queen's former dog trainer, previously told ABC News corgis "think big" but could also be "vicious" -- recalling incidents where they nipped at an officer's trousers or had bitten the queen. Mugford said Elizabeth was an "incredibly good dog manager."

A few of her corgis starred in a short film that played during the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games. In the video, the queen was joined by "James Bond" actor Daniel Craig as the corgis followed them throughout Buckingham Palace.

Prince William and Kate Middleton, now the Princess of Wales, have continued the royal tradition of having dogs with their cocker spaniel Orla. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are also dog owners, just recently adopting a rescue beagle. Markel described receiving a warm greeting from the queen's corgis when the two had tea together.

"The corgis took to you right away," Harry joked to Markle during their first interview together as an engaged couple. "For the past 33 years I've been barked at, this one walks in [and] absolutely nothing."

Monty Roberts, an adviser to the queen, told Vanity Fair in 2015 that the British monarch had stopped breeding corgis.

"She didn't want to leave any young dog behind," he told the magazine. "She wanted to put an end to it."

The last of the queen's purebred corgis, Willow, died in 2018.

Buckingham Palace welcomed two new puppies in 2021. The queen was gifted the puppies while her husband was hospitalized. She named them Fergus and Muick, though Fergus died suddenly at just five months old. Prince Andrew and his family later gifted Elizabeth a new corgi puppy named Sandy.

Corgis played a central role in Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee earlier this summer. The celebration marked her 70 years of service on the throne.

It's not immediately clear what will happen to the queen's loyal sidekicks in the wake of her death.

Police arrested a convicted sex offender after he was reported to have peeped into many peoples homes. The police had gotten over two dozen calls and finally arrested him on September 8th.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A convicted sex offender has been arrested after authorities received over two dozen tips from the public identifying him as a man who was peering into people's homes.

The alleged peeping Tom -- identified as 36-year-old Kevin Michael Ayers of Hamilton, Ohio -- was caught looking into the windows of people's homes in Liberty Township, a suburb of Cincinnati located approximately 28 miles north of the city.

"Detectives received over 25 tips from the public identifying Mr. Ayers, along with information from other law enforcement agencies that are familiar with him due to similar incidents, read a statement from the Butler County Sheriff's Office that was posted on social media.

Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones posted a tweet on Sept. 6 of surveillance footage of the alleged prowler peering into somebody's home on Aug. 22 at approximately 1:23 a.m.

Jones also reported that the suspect was filmed doing the same thing again on Sept. 5 at 10:50 p.m. Jones did not say whether the suspect was caught on the same camera in each of these instances.

But on Sept. 8, the Butler County Sheriff's Office announced that the suspect was arrested and charged on one count of criminal trespass, which is a misdemeanor in the fourth degree in the state of Ohio.

Tropical Storm Kay is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds to Southern California on Friday, as well as some relief from a prolonged heat wave, as it moves in from Mexico.

Kay made landfall Thursday over the Baja California Peninsula as a Category 1 hurricane, before weakening and downgrading to a tropical storm. The storm has brought heavy rainfall to the area, with flash flooding and landslides possible across the Baja California peninsula and portions of mainland northwestern Mexico through Saturday morning, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Small boats are moored in port prior to the arrival of Hurricane Kay in the city of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico, on Sept. 8, 2022.

A flood watch has been issued for parts of California, just outside of Los Angeles and San Diego, as well as southwestern Arizona and parts of Nevada, including Las Vegas. Rainfall totals are expected to range from 1 to 2 inches close to the coast, with up to 8 inches possible inland.

"Flash, urban, and small stream flooding" is likely across Southern California, Arizona and southern Nevada, the Nationa Hurricane Center said.

The tropical system is also bringing strong, gusty winds, and a high wind warning has been issued for Southern California, including San Diego. Some spots of the San Diego County mountains saw gusts reach over 90 mph Friday morning, with the strongest winds still expected this afternoon and evening, the National Weather Service in San Diego said.

This satellite image made available by NOAA shows Hurricane Kay off the Pacific coast of Mexico, Sept. 7, 2022.

The region will get some relief from triple-digit temperatures thanks to the tropical storm, with record-breaking heat expected to wane Friday.

The last time a tropical system was close enough to Southern California to have impacts was in 2018.

Meanwhile, Hurricane Earl is bringing tropical storm conditions to Bermuda, with winds over 100 mph.

A tropical storm warning has been issued for the island, which has been hit with tropical storm-force gusts and swells.

As it moves away from Bermuda, Earl is forecast to become a powerful post-tropical cyclone on Saturday. "Dangerous" rip currents are likely across the Western Atlantic through the weekend, including Bermuda, the East Coast and portions of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland through the weekend, the National Hurricane Center said.

he number of migrant encounters at the southern border has smashed through the two million mark this fiscal year, breaching the already-historic 1.7 million encounters last year — but those numbers by themselves do not state how have been released into the U.S., or account for hundreds of thousands of others who have slipped past Border Patrol.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The number of migrant encounters at the southern border has smashed through the two million mark this fiscal year, breaching the already-historic 1.7 million encounters last year - but those numbers by themselves do not state how have been released into the U.S., or account for hundreds of thousands of others who have slipped past Border Patrol.

There have been more than two million migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border in FY 2022, as Border Patrol agents deal with a migrant crisis unprecedented in U.S. history and one that the Biden administration has so far failed to slow, despite its claims that the border is "secure."

However, the encounters can include multiple attempts by the same migrants. Additionally, nearly half of the encounters have resulted in an expulsion under Title 42 -- implemented in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of those expelled will make multiple efforts to cross the border, resulting in multiple encounters with Border Patrol.

So far this fiscal year, over 920,000 encounters have resulted in a Title 42 expulsion, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), with about the same number (912,575) processed under what is known as Title 8. However, some will be transferred straight into Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, others can be returned via voluntary return or expedited removal if they either do not claim asylum or do not pass an initial asylum screening.
LATEST MIGRANT DEATHS IN RIO GRANDE HIGHLIGHT EXTREME DANGERS FACING BORDER CROSSERS

According to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) statistics, so far this fiscal year more than 500,000 migrants have been released into the U.S. by Border Patrol on their own recognizance with a court date (called a Notice to Appear) or paroled into the U.S. and enrolled into Alternatives to Detention (ATD). That statistic does not include the final two months of FY 2022. The New York Times this week cited internal DHS documents and court filings to report that more than a million illegal migrants have so far been released into the U.S. for asylum hearings overall since Biden took office. That number will continue to rise in the months and years ahead.

About a third of those are being monitored under "Alternatives to Detention" - which typically includes checking in via a cellphone app, but can also involve ankle bracelets or in-person visits. The ATD program has been touted strongly by the Biden administration, but Fox News Digital previously reported on a Trump-era draft report which described the program has "little value."
BIDEN YET TO VISIT BESIEGED SOUTHERN BORDER AS WHITE HOUSE CAUGHT IN MIGRANT CONTROVERSY
But that estimate does not include the number of illegal immigrants who have not been formally released and have instead evaded Border Patrol, known as "gotaways." Officials have estimated to Fox News in July that more than 500,000 are known to have slipped past agents in FY22 so far, but have been detected by cameras or other sensors. There have been about 55,000 getaways each month this fiscal year.

That number is in addition to the 389,155 known​ gotaways that DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas previously testified there were in all of FY'21. The "known gotaways" by themselves therefore means that there have been approximately 900,000​ known gotaways since the beginning of FY'21 (including four months before President Biden took office) which is equivalent to a population bigger than the city of San Francisco sneaking across the border.

Even that number does not account for the numbers who have not only got past Border Patrol agents, but who have also not been detected by technology. That number is difficult to even estimate.

Those who have entered illegally have typically been deported if encountered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). However, the Biden administration imposed limits on the agency, restricting them to focus on recent border crossers and national security and public safety threats.

That guidance has since been blocked by a court injunction, but arrests and deportations plummeted under the Biden administration. In FY 21, ICE arrested 74,082 noncitizens and deported 59,011 - down from 103,603 arrests and 185,884 removals in FY 20 and 143,099 arrests and 267,258 deportations in FY 19.

BRUSSELS -- The Ukrainian armed forces have made significant early gains in their counter-offensive against Russian forces in southern and eastern Ukraine but fighting appears set to drag on for months, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the head of NATO said Friday.

Blinken, who was at NATO headquarters to brief the 29 U.S. allies after a trip to Kyiv on Thursday, said that the six-month war in Ukraine is entering a critical period and he urged the conflict-torn country's Western backers to maintain their support in coming months and through the winter.

"The initial signs are positive, and we see Ukraine making real, demonstrable progress in a deliberate way," Blinken said, referring to the recent push into southern Ukraine and the eastern Donbas region by local forces.

"But this is likely to go on for some significant period of time," he said. "There are a huge number of Russian forces that are in Ukraine, and unfortunately, tragically, horrifically, President (Vladimir) Putin has demonstrated that he will throw a lot of people into this at huge cost to Russia."

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the invasion launched by Putin in February is "entering a critical phase."

"Ukrainian forces have been able to stall Moscow's offensive in Donbas, strike back behind Russian lines and retake territory," he said.

But Stoltenberg warned that allied unity will be tested in coming months, "with pressure on energy supplies and the soaring cost of living caused by Russia's war." He renewed calls for allies to supply special uniforms, generators, tents and equipment to help Ukraine's army weather the coming winter.

Hours before dawn on March 1, 2003, the U.S. scored its most thrilling victory yet against the plotters of the Sept. 11 attacks. The capture of a disheveled Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, hauled away by intelligence agents from a hideout in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
NEW YORK -- Hours before dawn on March 1, 2003, the U.S. scored its most thrilling victory yet against the plotters of the Sept. 11 attacks - the capture of a disheveled Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, hauled away by intelligence agents from a hideout in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

The global manhunt for al-Qaida's No. 3 leader had taken 18 months. But America's attempt to bring him to justice, in a legal sense, has taken much, much longer. Critics say it has become one of the war on terror's greatest failures.

As Sunday's 21st anniversary of the terror attacks approaches, Mohammed and four other men accused of 9/11-related crimes still sit in a U.S. detention center in Guantanamo Bay, their planned trials before a military tribunal endlessly postponed.

The latest setback came last month when pretrial hearings scheduled for early fall were canceled. The delay was one more in a string of disappointments for relatives of the nearly 3,000 victims of the attack. They've long hoped that a trial would bring closure and perhaps resolve unanswered questions.

"Now, I'm not sure what's going to happen," said Gordon Haberman, whose 25-year-old daughter Andrea died after a hijacked plane crashed into the the World Trade Center, a floor above her office.

He's traveled to Guantanamo four times from his home in West Bend, Wisconsin, to watch the legal proceedings in person, only to leave frustrated.

"It's important to me that America finally gets to the truth about what happened, how it was done," said Haberman. "I personally want to see this go to trial."

If convicted at trial, Mohammed could face the death penalty.

When asked about the case, James Connell, an attorney for one of Mohammed's co-defendants - one accused of transferring money to 9/11 attackers - confirmed reports both sides are still "attempting to reach a pretrial agreement" that could still avoid a trial and result in lesser but still lengthy sentences.

David Kelley, a former U.S. attorney in New York who co-chaired the Justice Department's nationwide investigation into the attacks, called the delays and failure to prosecute "an awful tragedy for the families of the victims."

He called the effort to put Mohammed on trial before a military tribunal, rather than in the regular U.S. court system, "a tremendous failure" that was "as offensive to our Constitution as to our rule of law."

"It's a tremendous blemish on the country's history," he said.

The difficulty in holding a trial for Mohammed and other Guantanamo prisoners is partly rooted in what the U.S. did with him after his 2003 capture.

Mohammed and his co-defendants were initially held in secret prisons abroad. Hungry for information that might lead to the capture of other al-Qaida figures, CIA operatives subjected them to enhanced interrogation techniques that were tantamount to torture, human rights groups say. Mohammed was waterboarded - made to feel that he was drowning - 183 times.

A Senate investigation later concluded the interrogations didn't lead to any valuable intelligence. But it has sparked endless pretrial litigation over whether FBI reports on their statements can be used against them - a process not subject to speedy trial rules used in civilian courts.

The torture allegations led to concerns that the U.S. might have ruined its chance to put Mohammed on trial in a civilian court.

But in 2009, President Barack Obama's administration decided to try, announcing that Mohammed would be transferred to New York City and put on trial at a federal court in Manhattan.

"Failure is not an option," Obama said.

But New York City balked at the cost of security and the move never came. Eventually, it was announced Mohammed would face a military tribunal. And then over a dozen years passed.

Kelley said talk of military tribunals two decades ago surprised many in the legal community who had been successfully prosecuting terrorism cases in the decade before. The concept of a tribunal, he said, "came out of the blue. Nobody knew it was coming."

Then-Attorney General John Ashcroft was not in favor of tribunals and had been supportive of the Manhattan federal terrorism prosecutions, he said.

Now, Kelley said, with the passage of time it will be much more difficult to prosecute Mohammed in a tribunal, much less a courtroom. "Evidence goes stale, witness memories fail."

The passage of time hasn't dulled the memories of the victims' families or dampened their interest in witnessing justice.

Eddie Bracken's sister Lucy Fishman was killed at the trade center. The New Yorker opposed Obama's proposal to move the trial to federal court - Mohammed is charged with "a military act," and should be tried by the military, he reasoned. And while he is somewhat frustrated by the delays, he understands them.

"The whole world is looking at us and saying, 'What are they doing after all this time?'" he said. But he realizes the case is "a process that the world is seeing, that needs to be done under a microscope. ... It's up to the United States to do their due diligence, make sure it's done right."

"The wheels of justice turn. They turn slowly, but they turn. And when the time comes, and it's said and done, the world will know what happened," he adds.

While Mohammed has lingered at Guantanamo, the U.S. killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in a 2011 raid and deputy-turned-successor Ayman al-Zawahri in a drone strike just this August.

Investigators with the military commission at Guantanamo Bay said he plotted the 9/11 attacks for three years. They cited a computer hard drive seized at his arrest which they said contained photographs of the 19 hijackers, three letters from bin Laden and information about some hijackers.

Mohammed, at his tribunal hearing, conceded in a written statement that he swore allegiance to Osama bin Laden, that he was on al-Qaida's council and that he served as operational director for bin Laden for the organizing, planning, follow-up and execution of the Sept. 11 plot "from A to Z."

According to the statement, he also took credit for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center; an attempt to down U.S. jetliners using bombs hidden in shoes; the bombing of a nightclub in Indonesia; and plans for a second wave of attacks after the 2001 attacks targeting landmarks like the Sears Tower in Chicago and Manhattan's Empire State Building.

He also claimed credit for other planned attacks, including assassination attempts against then-President Bill Clinton in 1994 or 1995 and an assassination plot against Pope John Paul II at about the same time, the statement said.

Mohammed's nearly two decades in legal limbo differs from the fate of his nephew, Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing that killed six people, injured 1,000 others and left a crater in the parking garage beneath the twin towers.

Yousef is serving life in prison after being convicted at two separate civilian trials. He was also captured in Pakistan, in 1995, but was brought to the United States for trial.

At the time, Yousef said his right to kill people was comparable to the U.S. decision to drop a nuclear bomb in World War II. Mohammed has offered a similar justification, saying through an interpreter at a Guantanamo proceeding that killing people was the "language of any war."

Bracken traveled to Guantanamo in 2012 to watch one hearing for Mohammed and his co-defendants, and would probably go again if a trial ever happened.

"I don't know if I want to go there again to bring back all the hurt and pain. But if I'm allowed to go, then I guess I would go. Yeah. My sister would do that for me."

"She's that type of a woman," he added. Then he corrected himself: "She was that type of a woman."

What we covered

King Charles III honored his mother's "life well lived" and renewed her "promise of lifelong service" in his first address as British monarch on Friday.

The King, who ascended to the throne Thursday after Queen Elizabeth II's death, named his eldest son William Prince of Wales.

Earlier Friday, the King held his first in-person audience with UK Prime Minister Liz Truss at Buckingham Palace and is expected to be formally proclaimed monarch on Saturday.

The death of the 96-year-old Queen ended a generation-spanning, seven-decade reign that made her a beacon of stability in a tumultuous world. The UK has entered a period of official mourning, with tributes pouring in from around the world. Details for her funeral are expected to be released soon.

Our live coverage of the death of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II has ended. Read more about today's events in the posts below.

As a new era dawns in Britain, arrangements for a final farewell to Queen Elizabeth II are underway. Her son, King Charles III, has asked for a period of Royal Mourning to be observed from Friday, Sept. 9, until seven days after the Queen's funeral, according to a Buckingham Palace statement.

The date of the funeral will be confirmed "in due course," the statement added. Here's what you can expect to happen in the coming days.

Here are some of the answers to common questions:
How will the Queen's coffin return to London?
The coffin will first leave Balmoral, the Queen's Scottish rural retreat, for the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh. The property is the official residence of the British monarch in Scotland. It will then likely travel in procession to Edinburgh's St Giles' Cathedral where the Queen will lie in rest before being moved down to London.
How can the public pay their respects?
Historical precedent suggests that once in London, the Queen will likely lie in state at Westminster Hall, the oldest part of the Palace of Westminster. Past monarchs' coffins have rested on a raised platform - or catafalque - in the middle of the hall, guarded around the clock by units from the Sovereign's Bodyguard, Foot Guards or the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment.

The coffin is likely to remain there for several days and it's at this point that members of the public will be able to file past the platform and view the monarch's coffin. Thousands are expected to queue, with some potentially sleeping out overnight in a bid to pay their respects.
What might the Queen's funeral look like?
As monarch, Queen Elizabeth will automatically be granted a publicly funded state funeral. It will take place at Westminster Abbey sometime in the next two weeks, though the exact day will be confirmed in due course.

We're still a few days away from a guest list, but heads of state and dignitaries from around the world will likely make their way to the British capital to celebrate the Queen's life and 70-year service to the nation. Other familiar faces will be some of the Queen's 15 former prime ministers and senior lawmakers.

"You can't pretend to have a different history": British ambassador to US responds to criticism of Queen

Dame Karen Pierce, the British ambassador to the US, said while remembering the life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II, it is important to "confront" the history.

Asked about the criticism that the monarchy and the Queen "helped obscure a bloody history of decolonization," as Maya Jasanoff, a professor of history at Harvard, put it in an New York Times opinion piece on Thursday, Pierce pointed out the Queen's role of translating the British empire into the commonwealth.

"I would say that was a tremendous transition and very much a positive one. She presided over the way countries became independent after the second World War and then joined the commonwealth from choice. I think that's important as well," she told CNN on Friday.

Pierce said the Queen didn't have any executive action and she wasn't a government official.

"She was a constitutional monarch. She's not directly responsible in that sense for what has happened," Pierce said.

"You can't pretend to have a different history. The thing to do is confront the history in all its good things and its bad," she added, saying her thoughts in the moment mirror the sentiments of Boris Johnson during the Black Lives Matter movement
Watch the moment:

King Charles III delivered his first public address as the new British monarch on Friday, just a day after ascending to the throne following the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II.

He paid tribute to the Queen, saying she had "a life well lived":

"In her life of service, we saw that abiding love of tradition together with that fearless embrace of progress which makes us great as nations."

The speech was pre-recorded at Buckingham Palace earlier on Friday. Sitting behind a desk, with a picture of his mother displayed prominently to his left, Charles promised he would continue in her footsteps and serve his people:

"As the Queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, I too now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time God grants me, to uphold the Constitutional principles at the heart of our nation."

He addressed his family, including his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort. He also said he wanted to "express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas." And he announced that his son William would be given the title Prince of Wales:

"With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the center ground where vital help can be given."

The King also noted in his speech that the UK now is much different than it was 70 years ago, and said he is devoted to his duty to the nation, as his mother was:

"We have seen our society become one of many cultures and many faiths. The institutions of the state have changed in turn. But, through all changes and challenges, our nation and the wider family of realms - of whose talents, traditions and achievements I am so inexpressibly proud - have prospered and flourished. Our values have remained, and must remain, constant."

He ended on a personal note, with another message to the late Queen:

"To my darling mama, as you begin your last great journey, I want simply to say this: Thank you."

When Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning monarch in British history, died on Thursday at the age of 96, she left behind not just her nation and family members b ut a gaggle of canine companio ns.

Throughout her long life, she was regularly photographed with a Welsh corgi at her feet - a dog breed that became synonymous with the monarch.

At the time of her passing, Queen Elizabeth is reported to have had four dogs.

According to the American Kennel Club, she had two Pembroke Welsh corgis, Muick and Sandy, as well as an older, mixed-breed "dorgi" called Candy. A cocker spaniel, Lissy, reportedly joined the gang in January this year.

The Queen was often credited with creating the dorgi breed when her corgi mated with a dachshund owned by her sister, Princess Margaret.

Joe Little, a royal biographer and managing editor of Majesty magazine, told CNN he believes the dogs will be cared for by royal staff before being adopted by Princess Anne and Prince Andrew.

"Princess Anne has had corgis of her own in the past," he explained. "The two most recent additions came from the Duke of York and his daughters, so perhaps they could go to him. It's unlikely that they'll be split up."

The British Armed Forces have conducted gun salutes across the United Kingdom, on ships at sea and overseas to honor the late Queen Elizabeth II.

According to the UK Ministry of Defence, one round was fired for every 96 years of the monarch's life.

"Thousands of people stood in silence for 16 minutes at 1pm as the guns boomed once every 10 seconds," the ministry said.

King Charles described the death of his mother as the moment he had been "dreading" during an audience with UK Prime Minister Liz Truss on Friday.

His comments were picked up on camera as he shook hands and posed for photos with Truss at Buckingham Palace.

"The moment I've been dreading, as I know a lot of people have," the King was overheard telling Truss.

New royal titles for William and Kate reflect on their Twitter account

William and Kate have had their official Twitter handle changed Friday to reflect their new titles - Prince and Princess of Wales.

King Charles III officially bestowed the title on the couple during his speech to the nation on Friday. They were previously known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

King Charles III recorded his first televised address to the UK in a room of Buckingham Palace referred to as the Blue Drawing Room, according to a royal source.

The room is where the late Queen Elizabeth II recorded some of her annual Christmas messages over the years. On the desk where Charles sat was a floral arrangement consisting of a a posy of sweet peas mixed with rosemary, which represents remembrance, the source said.

The vase has images of three corgis - a breed of dog the Queen was known to favor and owned two of at the time of her death - which used to be placed in her audience room.

Ukraine managed to capture the commander of the invading army. Andrei Sychevoi is the name of the Russian commander.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Ukrainian media outlets and social media users have speculated that a top Russian commander has been captured as Kyiv's counteroffensive against Moscow's forces gathers pace.

Images and video shared on Twitter and Telegram purportedly show Lieutenant General Andrei Sychevoi among a group of Russian troops handcuffed on their knees with one social media user saying they were near Balakliya, in the Kharkiv region

Many noted the similarity of one of the captured men to previous images of Sychevoi.

Nexta TV tweeted a screen grab of the alleged general next to a previous image of Sychevoi in his regalia.

"It seems that the Armed Forces of Ukraine captured not the usual 'lieutenant colonel', but the commander of the 'West' grouping, Colonel General Andrey Sychevoi," it said.

The Lviv Journal tweeted a clip it said was of the Russian troops following their capture, with the message, "Time will tell if it's Gen. Andrei Sychevoi that appears in the video.

"What I find intriguing is that 6 Ukrainian soldiers surround him & look at him as if he is the big fish, & the way he looks away from the camera [he surrendered after all]", it added.

There has been no confirmation from either Ukraine or Russia.
This is a developing story.
