Trump takes a sip of water during a speech he was giving the other day. The video went viral because Trump relentlessly mocked Rubio in 2013, from twitter posts to bringing out a water bottle and mocking him on live television. Rubio responded jokingly to the video, saying Trump needs to "work on his form," but it was "not bad for his first time."

Colin Kaepernick is one of the faces of GQ's December issue.

The magazine named the former 49ers quarterback its "Citizen of the Year" for starting the protest that became a movement in the NFL.

"He's been vilified by millions and locked out of the NFL -- all because he took a knee to protest police brutality," GQ wrote in a news release about the cover. "Colin Kaepernick's determined stand puts him in rare company in sports history: Muhammad Ali, Jackie Robinson -- athletes who risked everything to make a difference."

Kaepernick first knelt during the National Anthem at a preseason game last year to protest mistreatment of black Americans, particularly by police. The protests grew this year to dozens of other players and to other sports, and President Trump called for the firing of any protesters.

Kaepernick has been on the cover of GQ before, but for his athletic skill. Now he's on the cover because he's not playing.

"And it's not because he's hurt, or because he's broken any rules, or because he's not good enough," GQ said. "Approximately 90 men are currently employed as quarterbacks in the NFL, as either starters or reserves, and Colin Kaepernick is better -- indisputably, undeniably, flat-out better -- than at least 70 of them."

Kaepernick is not interviewed for the issue but appears in a photo spread. GQ said he agreed to participate because he wanted to "reclaim the narrative of his protest, which has been hijacked by a president eager to make this moment about himself."

Instead, Kaepernick worked with the magazine to select 10 people, including filmmaker Ava DuVernay and rapper J. Cole, to speak on his behalf.

"I see what he's done as art. I believe that art is seeing the world that doesn't exist," DuVernay said in the article. "I think some folks see his protests, his resistance, as not his work. Not intentional. Not strategic. Not as progressive action. As if this was just a moment that he got caught up in. This was work. This is work that he's doing."

Kaepernick said on Twitter that he was "honored to be recognized."

Benedict Allen set out to film a documentary about a remote tribe in Papua New Guinea and went missing for three weeks. Benedict has been spotted near an airstrip. Benedict Allen was missing in the jungle for over three weeks.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A famed explorer who went missing while attempting to film a documentary about a remote tribe in Papua New Guinea has been spotted near an airstrip, his agent told The BBC on Thursday.

Jo Sarsby stated an evacuation was being planned to rescue Benedict Allen, 57, who set out alone in the jungle three weeks ago to make a documentary with neither a satellite phone nor a GPS in an effort to find a tribe of indigenous people he'd discovered roughly 30 years ago.

"Confirmation on exact location coordinates are now being confirmed in order to arrange evacuation as soon as possible," she said.

She said Allen was "safe, well and healthy," and she'd recieved an update through Keith Copley, the coordinating director for New Tribe Mission in Papua New Guinea. Copley informed Sarsby Allen was seen 20 miles north west of Porgera.

The explorer's family was fearing the worst after he missed his pick up out of the jungle, and he missed a flight to Hong Kong to deliver a speech at the Royal Geographical Society on Tuesday.

"He never caught the plane and that is very out of character for him really because he has it all organised," his older sister, Katie Pestille told The Daily Mail. "He was going with a local guide to a remote part of Papua New Guinea to try to track down this tribe that he had been with 20 or 30 years ago to reconnect with them. I have not heard from him in about three weeks and I was expecting something from him on Sunday or Monday and then I got an email from my sister-in-law yesterday saying he had not got on his flight."

According to the Telegraph, Allen, a father of three, was attempting to track down the Yaifo tribe, one of the few left on Earth not to have regular contact with the outside world.

"Last time, the Yaifo 'greeted' me with a terrifying show of strength, an energetic dance featuring their bows and arrows," he said in a September blog post outlining his plans. "On this occasion who knows if the Yaifo will do the same, or run off, or be wearing jeans and T shirts traded eons ago from the old mission station."

Before setting off on his journey, Allen tweeted a message to the world suggesting they not worry about his whereabouts.

"Marching off to Heathrow. I may be some time (don't try to rescue me, please - where I'm going in PNG you won't ever find me you know...)"

This isn't the first time that Allen went missing in the wild. The explorer, whose career spans six TV series for the BBC, was previously out of communication for three months. At one point, he even had to eat his own dog in order to survive.

Bill gates invests 80 million dollars in a smart city in Arizona. Its supposed to be a modern 21st century neighborhood. The city will have reduced pollution, shorter commutes, better weather, and safer streets. Transportation will be shared electric vehicles, walking and biking. Zoning will blend industrial, commercial and residential areas.

Bill Gates wants to build a futuristic community in Arizona.

A group associated with a Gates investment company has invested $80 million in a high-tech planned development outside Phoenix.

The community in Belmont will be designed around high-speed networks, autonomous vehicles, high-speed digital networks, data centers, new manufacturing technologies and autonomous logistics hubs.

It's unclear how much former Microsoft CEO Gates, who owns Belmont's parent company Cascade Investment, will be involved in the effort.

Belmont Partners, the Arizona-based real investment group that's leading the project, said it will be similar in size to nearby Tempe, Arizona, which has a population of 182,000.

"Envisioning future infrastructure from scratch is far easier and more cost efficient than retrofitting an existing urban fabric," Grady Gammage, a spokesman for the venture said in the statement.

Arizona has a reputation as being a technology-friendly state. Several major players in the autonomous vehicle industry -- Waymo, Uber and Intel -- are testing their innovations in the state.

The investment is the latest example of excitement surrounding rebuilding cities from the ground up with a digital mind-set.

But developing a new city or even a neighborhood isn't cheap. This October Sidewalk Labs, the urban innovation arm of Google's parent company Alphabet, committed $50 million for the initial phase of planning and pilot testing a Toronto neighborhood development.

It's designed as a model neighborhood for the 21st century, with reduced pollution, shortened commutes, safer streets and better weather. Transportation will be designed around shared electric vehicles, walking and biking. More flexible zoning will blend commercial, industrial and residential areas.

Only a week later after the Toronto announcement, Saudia Arabia announced plans to invest $500 billion in a new global hub meant to push the boundaries of innovation and exemplify the future of civilization.

The smart cities trend has gained momentum as Silicon Valley's disruptors shift their focus to transportation innovations such as autonomous vehicles and ridesharing services.

Belmont's developers are counting on the expected development of Interstate 11, which will serve the area, to boost development. But right now, the company is not rushing to move forward.

"This is a very long term, very patient investment," Gammage told CNN Tech.

First living NFL player diagnosed with CTE.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
While unnamed in the study, lead author Dr. Bennet Omalu confirmed to CNN that the subject of the case was former NFL player, Fred McNeill. Omalu is credited with first discovering CTE in professional football players. Until now, the only way to diagnose the disease is with a brain exam after death.

The diagnosis was first made using an experimental brain scan that can trace a signature protein of CTE called tau. The authors then confirmed the diagnosis with an autopsy. The case study was published in the journal Neurosurgery this week.

'It looked like just depression'

Omalu first presented these findings exclusively to CNN's chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta in 2016. McNeill's wife, Tia, and his two sons, Gavin and Fred Jr., told Gupta then, that they saw Fred transform from a fun loving family man at the center of their lives into a man who was dealing with symptoms of memory loss, anger and depression that tore their family apart.

"There are some times where the father is the stronghold in the family, or the anchor. If you lose that, everything kind of falls apart. That's kind of what happened for us. It looked like financial issues at first; it looked like marital issues, and they separated; then it looked like just depression," Gavin told Gupta.

CTE is known for plaguing people with Alzheimer's like symptoms such as memory loss, rage, mood swings, and in some cases, suicidal ideation.

Severity of the disease is categorized into four stages, with stage 4 being the most severe. While researchers don't know exactly why certain people develop the disease and others don't, they believe that it results from repeated blows to the head that trigger a build up of tau proteins in the brain.

CTE has been called football's "concussion crisis," however experts point out that CTE can develop from any repeated head injury. According to the Boston University CTE Center, "this trauma includes both concussions that cause symptoms and subconcussive hits to the head that cause no symptoms." These subconcussive hits can include the repeated trauma the brain experiences from constant plays, hitting the turf, and tackling. Wrestlers, boxers, and military troops have also been diagnosed with the disease.

Seeing CTE

While McNeill is the first case to be confirmed with an autopsy, the experimental technology has been used on at least a dozen other former NFL players, including Pro Football Hall of Famer, Dallas Cowboy Tony Dorsett. Omalu helped develop and is invested in the diagnostic exam, which uses a radioactive "tracer" called FDDNP to bind to tau proteins in the brain. The tau proteins can then be seen on a PET scan of the brain.

Critics have said the protein also can highlight another protein called amyloid, which may be indicative of Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. But Omalu noted that in CTE, tau makes distinctive patterns in the brain. It has a "specific topographic signature," he said, and that pattern can be detected in imaging.

Omalu said he and his team are currently raising money to start a phase 3 clinical trial to further test the technology and replicate what they have seen in McNeill. He anticipates that once funds are raised, it will take another two to three years for the trial and then another year, at least, for approval from the US Food and Drug Administration. When asked, how soon a commercial test could be available, Omalu predicted it could be as soon as a few years. "We are looking at less than five years," he said.

The 14 civil complaints follow at least three others, one of which is Gasper’s, filed since Paddock killed 58 people and injured hundreds of others. The lawsuits seeks unspecific compensation for both "physical and mental injuries,”

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Lawsuits related to the Las Vegas massacre are mounting, as 14 more concertgoers have initiated legal action -- including one victim who was so traumatized after the attack she said she's mistaken the sound of rain for Stephen Paddock's deadly gunfire.

The Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino -- the perch from where Paddock fired -- organizers of the country concert Paddock fired on and the makers and sellers of a bump stock gun accessory that enabled Paddock to rapidly shoot are all named as defendants in the lawsuits filed in Las Vegas state court Wednesday on behalf of the 14 concertgoers.

"I don't sleep at night and, when I do, I have nightmares," Elisha Seng, a 46-year-old from Bartlett, Ill., told The Associated Press. She said she even jumped up from her bed once as it was raining.

"I thought it was gunshots," she said, adding she can't erase the mental images of bullets landing around her on the concert grounds -- and of turning to see a young woman covered in blood after being shot, clutching her throat and falling forward.

Seng, who wasn't physically injured, returned to work as a sales representative, but said she quickly tires from her lack of sleep. Going to concert or sports halls can prompt flashbacks. She recently attended a Chicago Blackhawks game and found herself nervously calculating the best escape routes should someone open fire.
JASON ALDEAN DETAILS EARLY MOMENTS OF THE LAS VEGAS SHOOTING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Michelle Simpson Tuegel, an attorney representing victim Paige Gasper, a 21-year-old college student who was left with shattered ribs and a lacerated liver after being shot in the massacre, told Fox News it "is going to be a long road for all of these survivors, both physically and emotionally."

"I think that's hard for these survivors...and the people [killed in the recent church shooting] in Texas will have some of the same roads to deal with, with their trauma," she said.

Tuegel told Fox News in October that Gasper's family "wants answers" from festival organizers and hotel management.

A lead attorney in the lawsuits, Chicago-based Antonio Romanucci, echoed that call Wednesday.

"We want to get access to documents and discovery that either MGM or Live Nation has in their possession so we can determine how these events can be prevented."
- Antonio Romanucci, attorney

"These people need answers and are looking for closure and the only way we can get closure is by filing lawsuits and getting information," Romanucci told FOX5 Las Vegas.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI, who are handling the investigation, have been unusually tight-lipped since the attack, barely speaking to the media in recent weeks.

The 14 civil complaints follow at least three others, one of which is Gasper's, filed since Paddock killed 58 people and injured hundreds of others. The lawsuits seeks unspecific compensation for both "physical and mental injuries," The Associated Press reported.

The challenge for mass-shooting lawsuits is clearing a high legal bar to prove someone other than the shooter bears any responsibility. Such litigation typically drags on for years and can end with victims and their families receiving little to no money, according to The Associated Press.

A Chicago law firm helped to prepare the filings for the plaintiffs, which include several people from the Chicago area. Victims named in the suits also include a California man, Anthony Crisci, who was rushed to a hospital with a gunshot wound in a truck crowded with other victims.

Among deficiencies at the concert venue were poorly marked exits, Wednesday's filings say. And the hotel, it says, should have had gunfire-location devices that pinpoint where shots are coming from.

The 64-year-old Paddock, who killed himself just before his room was stormed, is also named in a bid to seize assets from his estate.

Paddock was able to use VIP status conferred on him as a high-stakes gambler to stockpile more than 20 rifles in his hotel suite without notice, including by using exclusive access to a service elevator over several days, the filings say. Lawyers argue what should have been routine checks of Paddock's bags and his room would have revealed his growing arsenal.

The filings also name a leading bump stock maker, Texas-based Slide Fire Solutions, as a defendant. Romanucci said it wasn't yet clear which manufacturer, wholesaler or retailer made and sold the specific bump stock that Paddock used, but the idea was to hold "the entire supply chain" responsible. Messages from The Associated Press seeking comment from Slide Fire weren't returned.

"We want to get access to documents and discovery that either MGM or Live Nation has in their possession so we can determine how these events can be prevented, specifically this one," Romanucci told FOX5 Las Vegas.

MGM Resorts International, the parent company of Mandalay Bay, called the shooting "a meticulously planned, evil...act" in a statement Wednesday to The Associated Press and added it would respond to any allegations only through "the appropriate legal channels." Live Nation, a concert organizer named in the filings, said in a statement it cannot comment on pending litigation, but noted the company remains "heartbroken for the victims."

Bump stocks were originally created ostensibly to make it easier for people with disabilities to shoot. But the filings allege Slide Fire geared its marketing to regular gun owners who wanted their semi-automatic rifles to mimic fully automatic weapons.

Seng said she joined the civil case to force better security at concerts and at hotels. She said she can't fathom how a hotel-casino that devotes so many resources to catching gamblers that cheat didn't notice Paddock bringing in high-powered weapons over a number of days.

"They can catch a person counting cards," she said. "But they can't catch someone carrying bags of guns."

US authorities will remove restrictions on importing African elephant trophies from Zimbabwe and Zambia.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
That means Americans will soon be able to hunt the endangered big game, an activity that garnered worldwide attention when a Minnesota dentist took Cecil, perhaps the world's most famous lion, near a wildlife park in Zimbabwe.

A US Fish and Wildlife Service spokesman said the move will allow the two African countries to include US sport hunting as part of their management plans for the elephants and allow them to put "much-needed revenue back into conservation."

Critics, however, note the restrictions were created by the Obama administration in 2014 because the African elephant population had dropped. The animals are listed in the US Endangered Species Act, which requires the US government to protect endangered species in other countries.

"We can't control what happens in foreign countries, but what we can control is a restriction on imports on parts of the animals," said Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society.

The number of elephants in the wild plummeted 30% overall between 2007 and 2014, despite large scale conservation efforts. In some places it has dropped more than 75% due to ivory poaching.

In 2016, there were just over 350,000 elephants still alive in the wild, down from millions in the early 20th Century.

Pacelle, who opposes the decision, told CNN it means "elephants minding their business are going to be gunned down by rich Americans."

Safari Club International, a worldwide network of hunters, cheered the announcement.

"We appreciate the efforts of the Service and the US Department of the Interior to remove barriers to sustainable use conservation for African wildlife," SCI President Paul Babaz said in a statement.

President Donald Trump's sons Donald Jr. and Eric are themselves big game hunters. Photos posted in 2012 by the website Gothamist show Donald Jr. holding an elephant tail. The website says the photos were from a 2011 hunt in Zimbabwe.

When Donald Jr. addressed the photos at the time, he did not deny their authenticity or where they were taken. "I can assure you it was not wasteful," he posted on Twitter, adding, "The villagers were so happy for the meat which they don't often get to eat."

Pacelle, of the Humane Society, noted that corruption in the Zimbabwean government was a concern when the US banned trophy imports from the nation in 2014.

Zimbabwe is currently in a leadership crisis, after the military seized power this week and placed President Robert Mugabe under house arrest.

On Monday, in a medical first, Brian Madeux received an experimental in-body gene-editing treatment intended to cure him of Mucopolysaccharidoses II, a rare disorder that causes progressive damage to the body.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
From Madeux's point of view, the revolutionary treatment appears anything but: It was a simple matter of getting hooked up to an IV, which delivered a gene editor into his bloodstream along with copies of a corrected gene to replace the mutation he carries that is responsible for the disorder.

"The infusion takes place for anywhere from two to three hours. And that's it," said Dr. Edward Conner, senior vice president and chief medical officer of Sangamo Therapeutics, maker of the new therapy. "We're very hopeful."

Hunter syndrome

Hunter syndrome patients are missing the enzyme that breaks down mucopolysaccharides, chains of sugar molecules that are used to build connective tissues.

"If you think of your cell as a house, and over time, trash accumulates, this enzyme sort of helps take out the trash," Conner said. "If you don't have it, the trash builds up, builds up, and this happens in a lot of different tissues like the heart, like the brain."

Physical symptoms can include hearing problems, bone and joint malformation, and heart and breathing difficulties, according to Terri L. Klein, interim president and director of development and operations at the National MPS Society.

"As the disease progresses, there is widespread damage throughout the body, including the heart, bones, joints, respiratory system and central nervous system, leading to a shortened lifespan," Klein wrote in an email.

There is no cure for Hunter syndrome, but it can be managed and treated with enzyme replacement therapies. Still, even patients who receive regular treatments undergo progressive damage to their heart s, bones and lungs.

"Many patients with MPS II die of airway obstruction, upper respiratory infection or heart failure before they reach the age of 20," said Dr. Paul Harmatz, Madeux's doctor, principal investigator for the study of the treatment and a pediatric gastroenterologist at the UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland.

Conner noted that Hunter syndrome primarily affects males: One in every 100,000 to 170,000 boys is born with this genetic disease.

"It is hard to define the number of patients affected," Klein said. "There are hundreds of boys throughout the United States and possibly thousands in the world." In extremely rare cases, girls may be affected.

Conner explained that "it's also a monogenetic disease: You have a mutation in one gene." This simplicity is helpful when testing the experimental gene therapy, he said, but there's another good reason to target Hunter syndrome: Patients are "still suffering quite a bit," he said, Madeux among them.

Testing the gene editor

As the first participant, Madeux is taking part in a study in which scientists examine whether the gene therapy -- which has not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for medical use -- is safe and effective for humans. Madeux declined a request to be interviewed for this story.

The DNA-editing technology is not the headline-grabbing CRISPR but one developed by Sangamo. It is based on naturally occurring proteins called zinc finger DNA-binding proteins.

These are "what your own body uses to identify sections of DNA that need to be modified or repaired," Conner explained. The new technology uses "zinc finger technology" to snip the DNA and stitch in the gene lacking in patients with Hunter syndrome.

The technology must be "as precise, efficient and specific as possible," he said. "Precise meaning it only targets a unique section of DNA. We have 30,000 genes in our body, and you want to make sure you are precise in where this acts."

The gene editor must be efficient or productive when it goes to work and specific in that "it only cuts at that site and is not editing elsewhere in the DNA," Conner said.

The zinc finger technology is delivered by a non-replicating, non-pathogenic virus: one that doesn't make you sick and one that is commonly used by gene therapy scientists, Conner said.

He noted that it was tested first in mice and non-human primates, and the safety of the treatment and clinical trial was vetted by the National Institutes of Health.

Harmatz said, "The infusion was on Monday. We observed Madeux for 24 hours in the hospital, and he looked fine when he left for his hotel (Tuesday). He hasn't had any problems so far."

One shot at success

Going forward, Harmatz said, he will be monitoring levels of enzymes in Madeux's circulating white blood cells, and in three months, he will perform a liver biopsy to see whether the corrected gene has integrated and started producing enzymes.

"We're very early in testing this first trial," Harmatz said. "I'm hopeful that we'll have some production." Since Madeux has shown no difficulties, Harmatz believes all should continue to go well.

However, he is concerned that the dose "was not enough and it turns out to be ineffective and not a benefit to him. You have one shot, one chance to have an effective therapy."

He explained that you can't come back in two months with a higher dose delivered and hope you get a better response, because after the first infusion, a patient becomes immune to the virus, so it's no longer an effective delivery system.

"People are working very hard to solve this problem," Harmatz said. Still, in about two or three months, he and Conner should know whether the treatment worked.

Dr. Sanjeev Gupta, a professor of medicine and pathology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Health System, said "this is an exciting step for a long-awaited holy grail of successful gene therapy that has lasting benefit." Gupta, who was not involved in the study, added that whether the technology will be "effective (in the body) remains to be seen."

Along with the difficulties related to the "viral vectors used to insert gene sequences into cells," Gupta noted that "the biology of liver cells is such that multiple copies of any given gene may exist in a single cell. Whether these multiple gene copies could be corrected in sufficient cell numbers could be a key to treatment outcome here.

"But without studies that are carefully conducted, we would not be able to know that," he said.

Conner said Sangamo is continuing to screen Hunter syndrome patients to follow Medeux as participants in the study. Meanwhile, they have begun a clinical trial for a similar gene editing treatment focusing on hemophilia B patients.

"We're very, very excited," Conner said. "I'm honored and humbled by Madeux's decision to participate."

Klein also said that "Brian Madeux is very, very brave." Thankful to Sangamo for championing the cause, she believes this first run of gene therapy is a "leap forward."

"It is a new world of science," Klein said. "Someone needs to be on the front line, and Brian has rose to the occasion."

From Madeux's point of view, the revolutionary treatment appears anything but: It was a simple matter of getting hooked up to an IV, which delivered a gene editor into his bloodstream along with copies of a corrected gene to replace the mutation he carries that is responsible for the disorder.

Baltimore officer shot in head is fighting 'for his life,' police searching for gunman

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A manhunt is underway in Baltimore and the surrounding areas after a suspect shot a veteran homicide detective in the head and gravely wounded him on Wednesday.

The officer, an 18-year veteran with the Baltimore Police Department, was conducting a follow-up to a homicide investigation on the city's west side when he saw a man engaging in suspicious activity, the police department said.

The officer, who was not immediately identified, approached the man at around 5 p.m. and was shot in the head shortly after, police said. It was not clear if the officer had returned fire.

One of our officers was shot this evening. Please say an extra prayer for the officer and the officer's family. We'll update soon. Thank you.
- Baltimore Police (@BaltimorePolice) November 15, 2017

He was rushed to the University of Maryland Medical Center, where he was placed on life support.

"Our thoughts and prayers area with our detective, with his wife, with his two children as he continues to fight for his life," Baltimore Police Commissioner Kevin Davis said at a press conference Wednesday evening. "He is in very, very grave condition right now."

Authorities are offering up to $62,000 to anyone with information leading to his arrest.

Davis called the suspect "cold" and "callous" as he made a call for the suspect to come forward.

"People who walk our streets with guns in their hands are killers. I want to describe this person as cold and callous," Davis said. "He's out there right now and he now knows that he shot a Baltimore police officer. He knows it. He's well aware of it.

"My best guess is that there is more than one other person who is aware that this callous coward with a gun in his hand who shot a cop in the head tonight," he added.

Condolences and well wishes for the injured officer flooded social media late Wednesday, with city and state officials all praying for his recovery.

"The individual responsible for this heinous crime will be found, charged, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said in a Facebook post. "The Baltimore Police Department has our full support as they track down this violent criminal and bring him to justice."

The shooting was the second of a law enforcement officer in West Baltimore this month, according to the Baltimore Sun. Sgt. Tony Anthony Mason Jr., 40, a District of Columbia police officer who lived in Baltimore, was shot to death on the 2800 block of Elgin Avenue on Nov. 4. He was off duty at the time, the report said.

There have been 308 homicides in Baltimore so far in 2017, according to the Baltimore Sun. The total has been over 300 three years in a row.

The mysterious death of a toddler occurred back in 1968. Now years later a Facebook photo has changed everything. Peter Booth was three years old back in 1968 and witnessed the death of his 19-month-old brother. The picture popped up on his feed and brought back a rush of anger that made him decide to come forward and take the witness stand.

It was an old photo, the original sharp black and white tones worn down into the same muddy gray as television static.

The young man, David Dearlove, sits against a brick wall, his legs spread on the grass, dark eyes on the camera, mouth hinged half-open in a grimace. The baby, Paul Booth, pudgy and blond, is propped against his right leg, his little feet in heavy socks and buckle shoes. A hand pinching his nose hides his face save for the eyes.

The picture, snapped in the working-class neighborhood of Haverton Hill in northeast England's Stockton-on-Tees in 1968, was taken just weeks before the 19-month-old died violently in his home.

Nearly five decades later, when the same image floated up on Peter Booth's Facebook feed in 2015, it kicked loose a rush of anger and memory tied to what the older Booth boy had seen when he was only 3 years old but never put into words. He decided to break his silence, an act that culminated with Booth taking the witness stand this week as Dearlove, his mother's ex-boyfriend, stands trial for Paul Booth's murder.

"Dearlove's son David posted an image of his dad with Paul and I got angry," Booth, now 53, told the Teesside Crown Court, explaining his reasons for finally coming forward, the Mirror reported. "I did not want it on there because of what he had done to Paul and what he had done to me."

Booth's memory will probably be the central issue in the case. Dearlove, now 71, maintains his innocence.

"There was and is no doubt as to what medical condition caused the death of Paul Booth," Richard Wright, the prosecutor, told the court on Monday, as the Telegraph reported. "He died because of a severe injury to his brain that had itself been caused by a fractured skull. The real issue then in 1968 as now nearly 50 years later in 2017 is what caused that injury?"

In 1968, Dearlove lived in Haverton Hill with his girlfriend, Carol Booth, and her three children, Paul, Peter and a daughter, Stephanie.

According to court testimony heard this week, Dearlove was physically abusive with all three. The court heard the children were locked out of the house on freezing nights, the Telegraph reported. Stephanie Booth claimed her mother's boyfriend would lie on top of her in bed and slap her if she cried.

Peter Booth testified Dearlove would "punch and kick" him and also held his head underwater in the bath. "He would keep me under the water until I was kicking," Booth told the court, the Mirror reported. "He would hide under the bed, then hold your ankles and pull you out so you banged your head."

On Oct. 1, 1968, Carol Booth frantically knocked on the door of her neighbor at Haverton Hill in the early evening, prosecutor Wright explained to the court this week, the Telegraph reported. The neighbor found Paul Booth unconscious on a settee. He had stopped breathing. David Dearlove was trying to resuscitate the toddler. A doctor was called, and an ambulance also arrived. The baby was taken to the hospital, where he died.

According to Wright, there were red flags that Paul had suffered injuries while he was in Dearlove's sole care. "The post-mortem found a large number of bruises of varying ages," Wright told the court. "They suggest he had been deliberately assaulted and physically mistreated over a period of time."

But Dearlove maintained the baby had died after accidentally tumbling off a bed and that the child sustained the bruises while playing. With nothing conclusive pointing elsewhere, the initial inquest closed with an open verdict - an English court ruling acknowledging suspicious deaths where the specific causes remain unclear.

"No police action was taken against Carol Booth or David Dearlove and the case was effectively closed," Wright told the court. The couple broke up in 1970. Carol died in the 1990s.

Peter Booth remained haunted by his baby brother's end. At least twice, as an adult Booth asked police to reopen the investigation. But he never shared the details of what he had seen as a 3-year-old - not until he saw the picture of Dearlove and Paul on Facebook.

The image posted by Dearlove's son online enraged him so much he confided his secret for the first time in a cousin, Booth explained in court. She contacted police and set up a meeting in early 2015. Based on Booth's memories of his brother's death in 1968, police arrested Dearlove.

This week, Booth told the court he remembered creeping downstairs from his bedroom at night because he was hungry or thirsty, the Times reported.

"I went to the door that leads into the front room. It was ajar and I stuck my head through and saw David Dearlove and my brother Paul in there," he said. "I could see David Dearlove's back with his arms outstretched swinging Paul round. He swung round and caught Paul's head on the fireplace. He was holding him by the ankles. Paul was face up looking at the ceiling. There was a yelp, a scream and then my mam came through from the kitchen and I heard her shout, 'What is going on?'"

The witness continued: "David Dearlove had hold of Paul on the floor with his hands by his side. I ran back up the stairs. I was really scared, I got back into bed and just laid there until I went back to sleep. I could remember the sound it made, it was a horrible thud."

Booth told the court he stayed quiet because he feared Dearlove.

This week prosecutor Wright told the court that investigators analyzed the original post-mortem filings. The experts - including a neurosurgeon and neuropathologist - determined Paul's death was probably the result of a deliberate assault from high-force impact, not a fall from a bed, GazetteLive.com reported. The experts are expected to testify as the trial continues over the next three weeks.

Under cross examination, Dearlove's lawyer suggested Booth's memory may be "muddled" or his recollection could have been from a different night.

"No," Booth said at one point. "I remember what I've seen. All those things I've said in court today have been what I remember."

A lawsuit from California about forcing religious pregnancy centers to advertise abortions will be seen in by the Supreme Court. The law is known as the FACT Act and it lost in Californian supreme court. The case is said to be one of the most important free speech related cases in recent American History.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
On Nov. 13, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case on whether a California law passed in 2015, which requires anti-abortion pregnancy centers to inform clients about free or low-cost abortion services, is a violation of free speech.

Here's what you need to know about the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra before oral arguments are expected to begin late next year.

What does the California law say?

California's Freedom, Accountability, Comprehensive Care and Transparency Act, more commonly known as the FACT Act, was passed in October 2015. It requires pregnancy facilities to post a disclosure to inform clients that "California has public programs that provide immediate free or low-cost access to comprehensive family planning services, prenatal care and abortion for eligible women," according to the law. It also requires unlicensed, non-medical facilities to inform clients that they are not licensed medical providers.

The public notice is required to be posted in a "conspicuous place" in the facility's waiting room, and must be "8.5 inches by 11 inches and written in no less than 22-point type." However, clinics can also choose to provide printed or digital notices to clients instead.

If pregnancy centers fail to comply with the law, they're fined $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for each subsequent offense, according to the law.

What's the rationale behind the law?

More than 700,000 California women become pregnant each year, and half of those pregnancies are unintended. Yet, "thousands of women remain unaware of the public programs available to provide them with contraception, health education and counseling, family planning, prenatal care, abortion or delivery," California legislators argue.

"Because pregnancy decisions are time sensitive, and care early in pregnancy is important, California must supplement its own efforts to advise women of its reproductive health programs," the law reads.

Low-income women can receive access to free or low-cost family planning services through California's Medi-Cali and Family PACT programs. But only Medi-Cal providers who are enrolled in the Family PACT program can enroll patients at their health centers. That's why legislators argue that the most effective way to ensure women in the state "quickly obtain the information and services they need to make and implement timely reproductive decisions," according to the bill, is by requiring licensed health care facilities -- regardless of their stance on abortion -- to inform women of their options.

In addition, legislators argue it's "vital" that pregnant women in the state know when they are receiving medical care from a licensed professional. This is addressed by the requirement that unlicensed facilities that "advertise and provide pregnancy testing" must disclose to clients that they are not licensed medical care providers.

This portion of the law is also targeted at religious pregnancy resource centers because many of them are not licensed medical facilities, supporters of the legislation say -- adding that these facilities provide misleading information about the services they offer to women to deter them from getting an abortion.

What's happened since the law was passed?

The legislation triggered lawsuits almost immediately after it was passed. One religious non-profit, the Scharpen Foundation, won its case against the state of California and will no longer have to adhere to the FACT Act. But other pro-life pregnancy centers have been widely unsuccessful in getting the law overturned, especially at a federal level.

The National Institute of Family and Life Advocates, commonly known by its acronym "NIFLA," and the plaintiff in the Supreme Court case, sought a preliminary injunction to prohibit enforcement of the Reproductive FACT Act. NIFLA claimed that the law violated their First Amendment rights to free speech and free exercise of religion.

But the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected both arguments and upheld the law -- arguing that the state could regulate professional free speech and the law protects public health interests.

On Nov. 13, the Supreme Court granted "certiorari," or a formal order, to only review NIFLA's free speech argument.

What do opponents say?

NIFLA, which first filed a legal challenge to the FACT Act in 2016, is a public interest law firm that gives legal counsel and training to pregnancy centers across the country.

Roughly 135 pregnancy resource centers in California are members of NIFLA, Thomas Glessner, founder and president of the organization, told Fox News. With the Supreme Court case approved, this means that NIFLA will fight the law for each of its members collectively as opposed to each center individually fighting the law on its own.

"[The law] was a brilliant political move on their part," Glessner said. "It mandates under law that the pro-life centers are advertising for abortion."

But Glessner added that he thinks it's "scandalous that the law allows a multimillion-dollar abortion industry to bully small non-profits."

While the case is related to abortion, the real issue here, he said, is compelled speech -- a form of speech that is presumably unconstitutional.

"Can the government impose and compel a faith-based ministry to proclaim a message that they are fundamentally opposed to with the risk of being fined or shut down?"
- Thomas Glessner

"Can the government impose and compel a faith-based ministry to proclaim a message that they are fundamentally opposed to with the risk of being fined or shut down?" he asked. "That's the issue here."

Glessner said he believes NIFLA, which will be represented in court by the Christian non-profit Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), is "going to win going away," adding that the Supreme Court "hates compelled speech, which is why I'm confident we'll get the liberals on the court."

In a statement to Fox News, Denise Harle, legal counsel for the ADF, said: "It is unjust for the government to force anyone to speak a message they disagree with -- and to punish them if they don't."

What do supporters say?

In a statement, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra vowed to uphold the law.

"Information is power, and all women should have access to the information they need when making personal health care decisions," Becerra said. "The Reproductive FACT Act ensures that women in California receive accurate information about their health care options, including whether a facility is a licensed medical provider. The California Department of Justice will do everything necessary to protect women's health care rights."

The attorney general was not immediately available for additional comment when contacted by Fox News.

What will happen if NIFLA wins? What if they lose?

The Supreme Court is intervening to regulate these types of laws and provide a sense of consistency.

Indeed, other courts in states like New York, Texas and Maryland have invalidated laws that were similar to California's FACT Act. But some states -- such as Hawaii and Illinois -- currently have similar laws in place, which, like in California, have also led to appeals and other lawsuits. Specifically in Hawaii, Glessner said, one of the pregnancy resource centers is located in a church.

"If we win California, that should take care of Hawaii," he said.

It's hard to speculate on what will happen if NIFLA either wins or loses. But if NIFLA does win the case, the law will be enjoined and California will not be able to enforce it, Glessner said. If NIFLA loses, similar laws could be passed in the future.

Additionally, a win in this case would mean "the Supreme Court confirms that all Americans are free to speak or not to speak, without coercion from the government," Harle said.

"The Supreme Court has continually held that the government cannot compel people to speak messages against their consciences, and we are very hopeful we'll prevail on this basic question of free speech," she added.

Over 600 Homicides in Chicago in 2017 already as well as over 3000 reported gunshots.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A 25-year-old man, who was shot multiple times in the head, reportedly became Chicago's 600th homicide, solidifying the Illinois city's place as the murder capital of America.

Two other men were injured by the shooter, who opened fire from a vehicle located on the 500 block of South Lockwood in the West Side Austin neighborhood, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Neither man suffered fatal injuries and both were stabilized at Stronger Hospital, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

The victims, whose names have not been released, were among five people who were shot in the South and West Sides of Chicago within just seven hours on Tuesday.

With 600 homicides in 2017 already, Chicago remains the murder capital of America, according to data from the Chicago Sun-Times, though the homicide rate is down from 2016, when 762 people were killed.

By the end of October, the Chicago Police Department had already recorded 2,445 shootings.
GUNMEN TARGETED NEIGHBORS THEN CONTINUED RAMPAGE
The majority of shootings occur in the city's most impoverished neighborhoods, where violent gangs spray bullets to solve petty disputes, former gang members said.

"People are arguing on Facebook over the color of some girl's hair, real simple things...and they carry guns and when they finally catch each other, that's how it be," Derrick House, a 51-year-old former gang member-turned activist, said. "When they see the person they looking for, they don't care who else is out there, old people and kids, they just start shooting."

The majority of victims are African-American men, with nearly 50 percent in their teens and twenties.

Bystanders are also caught in the crossfires of the gang-related shootings, which typically occur in the most dangerous neighborhoods of Chicago.
THE LATEST: 5 DEAD IN CALIFORNIA SHOOTINGS, INCLUDING GUNMAN
With the current murder rate the highest it's been in 17 years, President Trump announced a program in June to deploy federal agents to combat the violence.

"Crime and killings in Chicago have reached such epidemic proportions that I am sending in Federal help," Trump tweeted

The Chicago Crime Gun Strike Force announced in June a plan to enact a team of 20 ATF agents and 20 Chicago Police officers to curb the violence, the New York Times reported. Federal authorities described the unit as "the first of its kind in the U.S."

"Their sole responsibility will be to fight gun crime in the city of Chicago," ATF Special Agent Tim Jones told the New York Times. "Our hope is that with more agents here, there will be more cases recommended for prosecution."

Chicago officials have advocated for stricter gun laws as a way to reduce the city's high murder rate, the New York Times reported.

But though gun violence has been a primary driver of the city's murder rate, varied methods have been employed in the 600 homicides to date.

In one instance, A former Northwestern University professor was charged with first-degree murder after fatally stabbing a 26-year-old in a sexual fantasy-gone wrong, Chicago police said.

Another man was charged with first-degree murder after reportedly stabbing one woman and two men in October.

Bill Gates has invested $80 million dollars to build Arizona smart city. The community in Belmont will be designed around high-speed networks, autonomous vehicles, high-speed digital networks, data centers, new manufacturing technologies and autonomous logistics hubs.

Bill Gates wants to build a futuristic community in Arizona.

A group associated with a Gates investment company has invested $80 million in a high-tech planned development outside Phoenix.

The community in Belmont will be designed around high-speed networks, autonomous vehicles, high-speed digital networks, data centers, new manufacturing technologies and autonomous logistics hubs.

It's unclear how much former Microsoft CEO Gates, who owns Belmont's parent company Cascade Investment, will be involved in the effort.

Belmont Partners, the Arizona-based real investment group that's leading the project, said it will be similar in size to nearby Tempe, Arizona, which has a population of 182,000.

"Envisioning future infrastructure from scratch is far easier and more cost efficient than retrofitting an existing urban fabric," Grady Gammage, a spokesman for the venture said in the statement.

Arizona has a reputation as being a technology-friendly state. Several major players in the autonomous vehicle industry -- Waymo, Uber and Intel -- are testing their innovations in the state.

The investment is the latest example of excitement surrounding rebuilding cities from the ground up with a digital mind-set.

But developing a new city or even a neighborhood isn't cheap. This October Sidewalk Labs, the urban innovation arm of Google's parent company Alphabet, committed $50 million for the initial phase of planning and pilot testing a Toronto neighborhood development.

It's designed as a model neighborhood for the 21st century, with reduced pollution, shortened commutes, safer streets and better weather. Transportation will be designed around shared electric vehicles, walking and biking. More flexible zoning will blend commercial, industrial and residential areas.

Only a week later after the Toronto announcement, Saudia Arabia announced plans to invest $500 billion in a new global hub meant to push the boundaries of innovation and exemplify the future of civilization.

The smart cities trend has gained momentum as Silicon Valley's disruptors shift their focus to transportation innovations such as autonomous vehicles and ridesharing services.

Belmont's developers are counting on the expected development of Interstate 11, which will serve the area, to boost development. But right now, the company is not rushing to move forward.

"This is a very long term, very patient investment," Gammage told CNN Tech.
