A 23 year old man, Khary Edwards, who was suspected of rape earlier in September is released.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A man charged with sexual assault in the nation's capital less than a month ago was arrested in a Washington suburb over the weekend for attempting to rape and kill a woman inside her home, police said Monday.

The Prince George's County Police Department said Khary Edwards, 23, forced his way into a home in Camp Springs, Md., located just outside Washington, D.C., early Saturday and attempted to rape a woman inside.

"When the first officer arrived, he observed the suspect, who was naked, running from the home," police said.

Edwards was apprehended after a foot chase, and charged with murder, attempted rape, robbery and additional charges. The 23-year-old is being held without bond.

Neighbors told FOX5 the victim has lived in the neighborhood for decades, but is now too scared to return to her home.

Online DC court records show Edwards was charged with first-degree sexual abuse for an incident at a gas station in Southeast D.C on Sept. 25.

In that incident, Edwards allegedly parked his car, grabbed a woman by the neck and said, "You are going to take this ___."

The victim of the September incident told police Edwards had previously helped her by giving her rides to and from work, but on that September night Edwards sexually assaulted her.

The victim tried leaving the car and asking for help, but Edwards ultimately grabbed her by the hair and forced her back in the car, according to the court documents.

Online court records show Edwards was ordered released under a program called the High-Intensity Supervision Program on September 26. Last week, Edwards had a "notice of non-compliance" on his record on October 19, although officials didn't indicate what led to it.

Officials with the D.C. Superior Court did not immediately return requests for comment from Fox News, but told FOX5 that prosecutors requested Edwards be released until his next court hearing, which would have been Oct. 27.

The 23-year-old has a preliminary hearing for the charges in Prince George's County scheduled for Nov. 20, but also has a felony status conference scheduled for Tuesday at D.C. Superior Court.

The woman told authorities of the incident and the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries opened an investigation, The Virginian-Pilot reported.

Thacker pleaded guilty in July to violating the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. He told officers he killed the eagle in March because he had seen the bird killing small game and eating fish on his property.

Thacker said the eagle was a "menace" and "too much emphasis" was put on the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, The Virginian-Pilot reported.

Half of the fine will go to the woman who reported the crime while the restitution will go to the North American Wetlands Conservation Fund account.

The owners of older, polluting cars will now have to pay $28 just to enter central London.

The owners of older, polluting cars will now have to pay $28 just to enter central London.

The capital city has introduced a new £10 ($13) emission charge that affects the most polluting vehicles. That's on top of an existing £11.50 ($15) congestion charge collected from drivers in the city center.

The new "T-charge" applies to both diesel and gasoline vehicles that do not meet the Euro 4 emission standards outlined by the European Commission. Most of the affected cars were sold before 2006.

Both fees will be charged from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. during the working week.

The move is a part of broader anti-pollution strategy championed by mayor Sadiq Khan, who has made tackling dirty air one of his top priorities.

"It's staggering that we live in a city where the air is so toxic that many of our children are growing up with lung problems," he said in a statement.

London will impose even tighter controls with the introduction of a "Ultra Low Emission Zone" in 2019. Charges on polluting cars will be extended to include nights and weekends.

London surpassed the European Union's annual limit for nitrogen dioxide exposure just five days into 2017, according to King's College.

The university estimates that air pollution is responsible for 9,400 premature deaths in the capital every year.

The British government said earlier this year that it will ban sales of new gasoline and diesel cars starting in 2040.

Famous New Orleans chef now confessing to sexual assaults on behalf of him and other male employees

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Besh, 49, is one of the city's most recognizable and celebrated chefs. He has not responded directly to the allegations made by current and former employees, which were revealed in an investigation by NOLA.com and the Times-Picayune. His departure was announced Monday in a staff email from the person who will take over as chief executive officer of Besh Restaurant Group (BRG), effective immediately.

"John has decided to step down from all aspects of operations and to provide his full focus on his family," Shannon White said.

Besh enjoyed celebrity status in a city whose identity is tied to its food. His restaurant group employs more than 1,000 people in New Orleans, San Antonio and Baltimore in top-rated restaurants such as August, Lüke, Domenica and Shaya.

Harrah's New Orleans Casino said it is terminating its relationship with the restaurant group. Besh Steak, located in the casino, will remain open under a different name to be announced soon, Harrah's New Orleans General Manager Dan Real said in a statement. As far the company is aware, none of the allegations pertain to Besh Steak, he said.

'That's just the way it is'

The allegations brought the restaurant industry into broader discussion about the need for more checks and balances when it comes to workplace harassment. Several figures in the food world commended the publication for shedding light on an issue that tends to get swept under the rug.

"It is beyond time. I hear so much 'that's just the way it is' but that doesn't buy people a free pass from having to try to do better," said food writer and mental health advocate Kat Kinsman, founder of " Chefs with Issues."

Times-Picayune reporter Brett Anderson said the timing was coincidental to other high-profile cases of alleged sexual harassment. His investigation began in February with a complaint from a former employee and led to more, he said. Reader reaction suggests people were waiting for the restaurant industry to be called out, he said.

"It seems to me that reporting on sexual harassment in the workplace is really coming to a head," he said. "My sense from the response I'm getting in emails, voice calls and social media messages is people see this [investigation] as another shoe dropping."

Allegations of a culture where harassment flourished

A Louisiana native and combat Marine veteran, Besh rose to prominence as an ambassador for New Orleans in the post-Katrina era

As he fed emergency responders and flood victims, he built an empire on the strength of his fine-dining restaurants and commitment to philanthropy. He became a regular on talk shows and cooking shows. He wrote cookbooks and collaborated with brands on specialty products. The steakhouse at Harrah's, along with other high-profile ventures celebrating New Orleans' French-Creole traditions with modern twists, made him a recurring figure in the city's marketing and tourism campaigns.

Now, the industry is waiting to see the impact -- if any -- of the allegations on his empire.

The allegations came from numerous current and former employees, including nine who spoke on the record to the newspaper. They described a hostile corporate culture where sexual harassment flourished. The accounts included inappropriate touching and comments from male employees and managers, some of whom tried to leverage their power for sex. Those who complained were berated, ostracized or ignored, the women told the newspaper. CNN attempted to reach three women named in the article and received no answer.

The article said at least two women filed complaints against BRG with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. CNN was unable to obtain copies of the complaints online. According to NOLA.COM/The Times-Picayune, one of the EEOC complaints was from a former employee who alleged that Besh "attempt[ed] to coerce" her during a "months-long sexual relationship."

NOLA.COM/The Times-Picayune reported that Besh responded directly to these assertions, saying he engaged in a consensual relationship with a member of his team two years ago. When CNN contacted BRG for a response to accounts in NOLA.COM/The Times-Picayune, the company provided CNN with the same statement.

"Since then I have been seeking to rebuild my marriage and come to terms with my reckless actions given the profound love I have for my wife, my boys and my Catholic faith. I also regret any harm this may have caused to my second family at the restaurant group, and sincerely apologize to anyone past and present who has worked for me who found my behavior as unacceptable as I do," he said.

"I alone am entirely responsible for my moral failings. This is not the way the head of a company like ours should have acted, let alone a husband and father. But it should not taint our incredible team of more than 1,000 employees, nor undermine our unyielding commitment to treating everyone with respect and dignity, regardless of gender, race, age and sexual preference."

Reforms promised

The company's email to staff members Monday promised employees a comprehensive independent review and overhaul of company policies, including the creation of an advisory council made of employees and updates to its sexual harassment policy. Separately, BRG's general counsel said the company is working to improve the culture through revamped training and education and improved procedures for lodging grievances. Raymond Landry acknowledged that many women did not feel the company had a "clear mechanism" in place for raising concerns.

"I want to assure all of our employees that if even a single person feels this way, it is one person too many and that ends now," Landry said in a statement.

"Now that we have learned of these concerns, we believe going forward that everyone at our company will be fully aware of the clear procedures that are now in place to safeguard against anyone feeling that his or her concerns will not be heard and addressed free from retaliation."

'The restaurant industry does not get a pass'

At least one former male employee has come forward to describe the company's culture. Alon Shaya, former executive chef at Domenica and his namesake restaurant, Shaya, spoke to NOLA.COM/The Times-Picayune for its investigation. The experience renewed his commitment to helping "prevent the powerful from taking advantage of those that depend on them," he said in a Facebook post.

"I want to acknowledge the experiences of the women quoted in the story and the realities of countless other women who experience harassment in the workplace and elsewhere. I also want to acknowledge the bravery of the women who shared their stories," he said.

"No one should feel unwelcome, afraid or unsafe in their place of work. That is not acceptable and that is not how I endeavor to run my restaurants. Harassment is not just a part of 'kitchen culture' -- the restaurant industry does not get a pass."

Syria sports stadium was converted to killing field

The stadium became known for beheading people, Eighty percent of the people that were imprisoned here were killed.”

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Pictures emerging of a Syrian soccer stadium turned into a coliseum of death by Islamic State terrorists are revealing the extent of the shocking horrors that once took place inside, as civilians reportedly were beheaded, tied down with iron cables and tortured by exercise machines.

The stadium in Raqqa, the ISIS capital city freed by U.S.-backed Syrian forces last week, has been called "The Black Stadium" for its dark, imposing concrete construction. But how it was used as a torture facility for the militant group gives the name a different connotation, The Daily Beast reported.

"The stadium became known for beheading people," Issa Xabur, a 42-year-old civilian who used to live in the city, told the website. "It was used as a prison. Eighty percent of the people that were imprisoned here were killed."

Recent photos of the facility show rusted out, destroyed prison cells and torture chambers ISIS built in the stadium's underbelly.

"It didn't matter what you did or did not do, the ISIS police had 'good reason' to bring you in," reads some of the graffiti written by prisoners, some in Arabic, Russian or English, according to The Daily Beast.

A reporter from the website who visited the stadium found iron cables and plastic straps used to tie prisoners down, while other reporters spotted exercise machines converted to bloody instruments of torture and death.

Xabur said he spent five days in the stadium and that people were arrested and sent there when they were "accused of being unbelievers, or of dealing with the coalition or the regime."

"They were hitting people with tires, and hanging people from the roof. People from Tunisia were responsible for torturing," he said.

A British man who traveled to Syria to fight ISIS alongside the Kurdistan People's Protection Units posted images of the stadium on his Instagram account in recent days before he was killed while clearing landmines in Raqqa, his mother told Sky News.

"All in one place there was 3 tunnels, a lot of jail cells, a shooting range and a gym," read Jac Holmes' post on Oct. 22.

He added: "We spent weeks seeing this place from hundreds of meters away, it was strange walking the streets and finally going inside."

A protester threw a Russian flag at trump when he was talking to lunch with the republican in the footage it shows that trump didn't get hit by the flag but a whole bunch of people swarmed him and the police got the protester off the premises

A protester threw a handful of Russian flags at President Donald Trump as he was walking to a lunch with Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill today.

Interested in Donald Trump?

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

The flags didn't appear to hit Trump and footage from the moment shows that he and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who was walking between Trump and the gathered crowd of journalists, did not appear to stop.

The protester, who identified himself later to the press as Ryan Clayton, had been standing amid the crowd of journalists. Capitol Police swarmed him and removed him from the area.

Clayton is believed to be a member of the group called Americans Take Action. He is thought to be the same person who tried to hand a Russian flag to Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner when he appeared in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee in July.

Clayton was shouting about Russia, and at one point yelled, "Trump is treason!"

"Why are you talking about tax cuts when you should be talking about treason?" Clayton shouted at another point.

Trump was at the Capitol for a lunch to discuss policy with Senate Republicans.

Government report calls on Trump to act on climate change

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
A government report released Monday is sounding an alarm over the threat of climate change, and the government's response.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change will cost the U.S billions of dollars

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Congress's top watchdog is out with a report today about the expensive consequences of climate change and is using those numbers to urge President Donald Trump to take action.

Over the last decade, extreme weather and fires have cost the federal government over $350 billion, according to a 2016 report from the Office of Management and Budget, and today's report from the Government Accountability Office found climate change will only get more expensive over the next century.

The most concerning number is the projection for the costs of premature deaths related to extreme temperatures. In the years 2040 to 2059, premature deaths could cost the health sector up to $161 billion a year. Between 2080 and 2099, costs could increase to $90 billion to $506 billion a year.

On a broader scale, the report predicts that combined costs of climate change across health, labor, agriculture and other sectors could make up 0.7 to 2.4 of the country's GDP by the end of the century.

To contrast the costs of climate change, the study also provides numbers on how much money the U.S. would save by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The value of "avoided deaths" from poor air quality alone would be $160 billion saved a year by 2050 and that figure goes up to $930 billion a year by 2100. Separately, the report found the U.S. would save $200 billion a year preventing deaths due to extreme temperatures in 49 major cities.

The authors from the Government Accountability Office recommended in the report that the office of the president specifically use this information to "help identify significant climate risks and craft appropriate federal responses."

But the Trump administration has cited the cost of environmental regulations proposed during the Obama administration as one reason to roll them back. The Environmental Protection Agency noted that repealing the Clean Air Act would avoid $33 billion in costs for facilities to comply with the rule by 2030 in its press release about the decision.

In Trump's speech when he announced that the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris Agreement, he also cited costs to the economy as a reason the U.S. should not pay into international efforts to combat global temperature rise. In that announcement in June Trump cited "draconian financial and economic burdens," citing lost jobs and production decreases in industries like coal, iron and steel. The president was citing a study by a pro-business group called National Economic Research Associates but many experts say that jobs created in renewable energy offset job losses in industries like coal. Many major companies urged Trump not to withdraw from the Paris Agreement.

The EPA only provided technical comments about a draft of the report and has not yet issued a statement about the findings.

This GAO report was required under the U.S. Global Change Research Program, which was established in 1990 and also produces the National Climate Assessment every five years.

The study does note that the numbers are projections and are not precise. The findings are based on complex climate and economic models using government and nonprofit data. The numbers estimating cost are based on the American Climate Prospectus, a study published in 2014 by the Rhodium Group. The numbers estimating benefits from reducing emissions are from the Climate Change Impacts and Risk Analysis, an ongoing project coordinated by the EPA that published a study in 2015.

Parts of California will be at an enhanced risk of wildfire ignition this week amid record-breaking heat and gusty winds, meteorologists said.

The greatest risk will be in southern parts of the state where temperatures are forecast to hit dangerous triple digits levels on Monday and Tuesday, meteorologists said.

The heat, coupled with gusty winds, will create "the most dangerous fire weather conditions seen in the past few years," according to the National Weather Service.

ABC News

"The combination of strong, gusty Santa Ana winds, unseasonably hot and very dry conditions will bring an extended period of critical fire weather conditions across much of southern California," ABC News Meteorologist Daniel Peck said Sunday. "The concern is that things could go from good to very bad, very quickly in southern CA this time around."

An Excessive Heat Warning is in effect for much of southwestern California, including San Diego to Los Angeles through Tuesday, where temperatures will be running upwards of 20 degrees above average for this time of the year, meteorologists said.

ABC News

Decades-old daily record highs are expected to be broken in many SoCal cities on Monday and Tuesday. Long Branch, located about 30 minutes south of Los Angeles, could see temperatures as high as 104 degrees on Monday, which would break a 52-year-old daily record high.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles could hit a high of 102 degrees on Tuesday, which would top the daily temperature record of 99 degrees reached in 1909.

There will be a slight improvement with the heat on Wednesday and more notable relief by Thursday/Friday.

CAL Fire said it would increase its staffing levels with additional firefighters, fire engines, fire crews, and aircraft to respond to any new wildfires.

ISIS has converted a Syria sports stadium in Raqqa to killing field and after the the fighting stopped in that area U.S. soldiers found awful things inside, mutilated bodies, heads without bodies, and just dead bodies just laying in pills in there

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Pictures emerging of a Syrian soccer stadium turned into a coliseum of death by Islamic State terrorists are revealing the extent of the shocking horrors that once took place inside, as civilians reportedly were beheaded, tied down with iron cables and tortured by exercise machines.

The stadium in Raqqa, the ISIS capital city freed by U.S.-backed Syrian forces last week, has been called "The Black Stadium" for its dark, imposing concrete construction. But how it was used as a torture facility for the militant group gives the name a different connotation, The Daily Beast reported.

"The stadium became known for beheading people," Issa Xabur, a 42-year-old civilian who used to live in the city, told the website. "It was used as a prison. Eighty percent of the people that were imprisoned here were killed."

Recent photos of the facility show rusted out, destroyed prison cells and torture chambers ISIS built in the stadium's underbelly.

"It didn't matter what you did or did not do, the ISIS police had 'good reason' to bring you in," reads some of the graffiti written by prisoners, some in Arabic, Russian or English, according to The Daily Beast.

A reporter from the website who visited the stadium found iron cables and plastic straps used to tie prisoners down, while other reporters spotted exercise machines converted to bloody instruments of torture and death.

Xabur said he spent five days in the stadium and that people were arrested and sent there when they were "accused of being unbelievers, or of dealing with the coalition or the regime."

"They were hitting people with tires, and hanging people from the roof. People from Tunisia were responsible for torturing," he said.

A British man who traveled to Syria to fight ISIS alongside the Kurdistan People's Protection Units posted images of the stadium on his Instagram account in recent days before he was killed while clearing landmines in Raqqa, his mother told Sky News.

"All in one place there was 3 tunnels, a lot of jail cells, a shooting range and a gym," read Jac Holmes' post on Oct. 22.

He added: "We spent weeks seeing this place from hundreds of meters away, it was strange walking the streets and finally going inside."

No rhyme or reason': Tampa scrambling to solve 3 mystery killings

The three kills have been with in one block of each other. The killer has been seen on cameras but the police can not get a profile on the man.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Days into an investigation, Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn said officials don't have many leads on who is responsible for three fatal shootings that are believed to be linked. Nor do authorities have a motive for the seemingly random acts, he said.

"This is an unusual case," Buckhorn said Tuesday. "There is no rhyme or reason other (than) folks being in the wrong place at the wrong time in the wrong neighborhood."

The killings in the city's Seminole Heights neighborhood began on October 9, when 22-year-old Benjamin Mitchell was shot and killed in front of his home. The second victim, Monica Hoffa, 32, was killed October 11. Her body was found two days afterward by a city employee in a vacant parking lot half a mile from where Mitchell died.

Then last Thursday, Anthony Naiboa, an autistic 20-year-old who had just graduated from high school, became the third victim after he accidentally got on the wrong bus after leaving work and ended up in the southeast Tampa neighborhood by mistake, police said. Authorities believe he was making his way to another bus stop but did not get more than 200 yards before he was shot and killed.

Investigators believe the three deaths are linked, as all three victims were alone and all were found within about a half-mile of each other, interim Tampa Police Chief Brian Dugan said.

"When you look at the time frame, the proximity, that there is no apparent motive, that the victims are alone at the time, it's clear to me that they are all linked," Dugan told reporters Friday.

Few clues

To this point, clues have been hard to come by. Police have released a surveillance video of a person walking in the area around the same time and are asking for any information, no matter how innocuous, on that person.

Mayor Buckhorn said they didn't have any description of a suspect or suspects and could not even say if the suspect was a man or woman.

"We don't have a lot to work with right now," he said.

Officials said police have so far avoided calling the suspect a serial killer.

"We're not using the word 'serial killer' yet because we just don't have enough evidence," Buckhorn said. "We're not afraid of that word -- if we think that that's true, we'll be happy to say it. But we've got to connect the dots."

On Sunday, hundreds of residents held candlelight vigils for the victims, according to CNN affiliate WFLA.

"We won't be afraid," Casimar Naiboa, the father of one victim, told the crowd. "[The killer] will not get away with it. No way. We are standing right here. We are not scared of them."

Heightened police presence

As the investigation goes on, Dugan said there will be a large police presence in Seminole Heights. Children were being escorted by police to school buses Monday, and police were actively questioning people on the streets.

"If you're walking alone, you're gonna be challenged," Dugan said. "If you're in a group, we're gonna make sure that we know who you are. We're gonna be cognizant of the Constitution and people's rights to be out there, but we're gonna talk to them and we're gonna challenge them."

Dugan encouraged people in the neighborhood to turn on their porch lights and keep an eye on the streets. Buckhorn added that the city was cutting undergrowth, clearing alleys and adding streetlights to better get eyes on possible suspects.

"We are hunting this person down and we're not gonna stop and we're not gonna leave that neighborhood until we find him," Buckhorn said.

Dugan said the neighborhood was "on edge," particularly with Halloween trick-or-treating coming up. Still, police said they were determined to remain there and solve the killings.

"I'm not gonna let someone take over this neighborhood," Dugan said. "I'm not gonna let this community be locked inside their houses."

Man guilty in a crash that killed couple, unborn baby

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Florida man faces up to 45 years in prison for crashing into a mobile home and killing a sleeping couple and their unborn baby.

News outlets report that a Manatee County jury found 38-year-old Christian Crawford guilty earlier this month of three counts of DUI manslaughter and DUI with property damage. His sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 30.

Authorities say Crawford had cocaine and marijuana in his system in April 2015 when he crashed his SUV through a fence at the Lone Oak Mobile Home Park. The vehicle slammed into the home of 21-year-old Ivan Carlos and 18-year-old Brenda Aviles-Pena, who was nine months pregnant.

The owners of older, polluting cars will now have to pay $28 just to enter central London.

The capital city has introduced a new £10 ($13) emission charge that affects the most polluting vehicles. That's on top of an existing £11.50 ($15) congestion charge collected from drivers in the city center.

The owners of older, polluting cars will now have to pay $28 just to enter central London.

The capital city has introduced a new £10 ($13) emission charge that affects the most polluting vehicles. That's on top of an existing £11.50 ($15) congestion charge collected from drivers in the city center.

The new "T-charge" applies to both diesel and gasoline vehicles that do not meet the Euro 4 emission standards outlined by the European Commission. Most of the affected cars were sold before 2006.

Both fees will be charged from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. during the working week.

The move is a part of broader anti-pollution strategy championed by mayor Sadiq Khan, who has made tackling dirty air one of his top priorities.

"It's staggering that we live in a city where the air is so toxic that many of our children are growing up with lung problems," he said in a statement.

London will impose even tighter controls with the introduction of a "Ultra Low Emission Zone" in 2019. Charges on polluting cars will be extended to include nights and weekends.

London surpassed the European Union's annual limit for nitrogen dioxide exposure just five days into 2017, according to King's College.

The university estimates that air pollution is responsible for 9,400 premature deaths in the capital every year.

The British government said earlier this year that it will ban sales of new gasoline and diesel cars starting in 2040.
