twitter employee shuts down donal trumps twitter account on their last day of work.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
On Thursday night around 7 p.m. ET, the unthinkable happened: The Tweeter-in-Chief disappeared from his beloved platform.

President Trump's verified @realDonaldTrump account went offline. All it said was "Sorry, that page doesn't exist!"

Horrors!

Within minutes, it reappeared -- his tweets intact.

One of the social media site's verified accounts later explained that Trump's account was "down for 11 minutes" and was "inadvertently deactivated due to a human error by a Twitter employee."

Earlier today @realdonaldtrump's account was inadvertently deactivated due to human error by a Twitter employee. The account was down for 11 minutes, and has since been restored. We are continuing to investigate and are taking steps to prevent this from happening again.
- Twitter Government (@TwitterGov) November 3, 2017

But Twitter lit up with speculation, conspiracy theories, and plenty of sarcastic jokes about Trump's brief exodus.

"In that moment, 'Sorry, that page doesn't exist!' [Trump] truly became President," one user wrote.

"That was like .003 Scaramuccis," wrote another use, referring to the president's short-lived communications director.

"If Trump's Twitter is down, does this technically mean he's no longer POTUS? I mean, it's the only part of the job he pays attention to," another said.

Some users, like New Republic editor Jeet Heer, mocked the furor. One tweet from Heer read, "Wait, Trump's twitter account has disappeared. Is this how we do coups now?"

Others speculated about whether Twitter barred Trump from the platform.

Perhaps one of the most defining elements of his presidency, Trump's Twitter use consistently makes headlines.

Trump often uses the platform to levy attacks publicly. Those on the receiving end of his tweets include Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill who he views as roadblocks to his policy initiatives. The press has often been the subject of vitriolic tweets. And NFL players who kneel during the anthem to protest racial injustice have been targets of @realDonaldTrump.

Perhaps most notably, however, Trump has also used Twitter to lash out at North Korea, the rogue Asian nation that claims to have a newly bolstered nuclear arsenal.

"Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N. If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer!" Trump tweeted in September, using his choice nickname for North Korea leader Kim Jong-un.

The North Korean government claimed the tweet constituted a declaration of war.

Many called for Trump to be booted from the platform, arguing his tweets -- which often seem to be typed out on a whim -- could plunge America into a nuclear war.

But Twitter declined to bar Trump's account, saying it must weigh the newsworthiness of Trump's tweets with its violent rhetoric.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hours before leaving the U.S. for his trip to Asia, President Donald Trump gave a wide-ranging interview on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" Thursday night, revealing his thoughts on this week's terror attack in New York City and the campaign actions of the Democratic National Committee.

Trump responded to claims from former DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile alleging that the committee rigged last year's Democratic presidential primary between Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders.

"It's illegal, number one, and it's really unfair to Bernie Sanders," Trump said of the Vermont senator. "I'm not a Bernie Sanders fan, although I must say I got a lot of his votes when he was thrown out. Many of those people voted for me because of trade because I agreed with him on trade. ... But that was, I thought that was terrible."

Trump also responded to recent revelations that the Democratic National Committee - along with the Clinton campaign - funded the now-infamous "opposition research" dossier released last January. The president called the findings "absolutely inconceivable."

"That dossier, which is totally fake and made up it's like a novel ... is a disgrace and it should not have been allowed to be used and then I hear the kind of money they spent," Trump said, referring to reports Democrats paid as much as $9 million on it. "I think it's a disgrace that a thing like that can take place."
TRUMP CALLS FOR 'DEATH PENALTY' FOR NYC TERRORIST IN WAKE OF HALLOWEEN ATTACK
After Tuesday's terror attack in Lower Manhattan, allegedly carried out by a man from Uzbekistan - whom Trump called a "horrible animal" - who was granted a green card through the Diversity Visa Program, Trump called for Congress to end the lottery-based immigration program.

"The justice system has to go quicker and it has to be really stronger and fairer," the president said, one day after he referred to the U.S. justice system as a "laughingstock" and a "joke."

"It's very sad when you look at a lottery system and you have people coming into the country through the form of a lottery," Trump said. "The countries aren't putting their finest in there, they're not putting their best and their greatest and their finest in there."

Trump added he's "already instructed Congress" to bring the Diversity Visa Program to an end.
TRUMP'S TAX PLAN: THE MAJOR CHANGES
Jumping to Trump's tax reform plan, the president says his proposed tax cuts are "the biggest cuts in the history of our country."

"We have reform and we have simplification and honestly I'm surprised a little bit to hear what you're saying because we've really gotten great reviews people are loving it," Trump said when he was told he was getting criticism from both Democrats and Republicans.

He alluded to a Washington Post report that recently gave Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., "four Pinocchios" for "not telling the truth" about the tax plan, which Trump said is "really not for the rich, it's for the middle class and it's for jobs."

Scientists discover mysterious ´void´ in great pyramid of Giza

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
But until now none had stumbled upon a 30-meter-long space hidden within its limestone and granite walls.

An international group of scientists has used modern technology to visualize the inside of the pyramid, according to an article published Thursday in the journal Nature.

Researchers hope the discovery will help them understand more fully how the massive pyramid was built.

The Great Pyramid contains three previously discovered rooms: the King's chamber, a smaller Queen's chamber and a passageway called the Grand Gallery. But this marks the first discovery of a major space inside the ancient structure since the 19th century, the journal says.

The scientists work with ScanPyramids, a mission under the French Heritage, Innovation and Preservation Institute, the Faculty of Engineering of Cairo, and the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities. The group applied a physics technique that allowed them to track particles called muons, which come from cosmic rays striking atoms in the upper atmosphere. Once the particles fall and pass through different materials, they lose energy, causing them to slow and decay.

By using detectors, scientists can count the number of muons passing through the pyramid. Muons are partially absorbed by stone, so any large holes in the pyramid would result in more muons than expected landing on the detectors.

The researchers realized they were on to something after they placed their detectors inside the Queen's chamber of the pyramid and found an unexpectedly large number of muons passing through, suggesting there was a previously unidentified "void," or empty space, above the chamber.

Three teams of physicists repeated the measurements to be sure of their finding. Each time, the conclusion was the same.

The large space could be horizontal, or sloped like the Grand Gallery. Its purpose, and what may lie inside, is still unclear. Scientists currently have no plans to use an intrusive technique to find out.

"It's the Great Pyramid, we can't touch it," said Mohamed Ismail, a spokesman for the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities.

Instead, the ministry wants other researchers to come forward with proposals to use different or more advanced techniques to verify the finding.

"Even if it is a different team with the same technology," Ismail said. "Any intrusive technique is out of the question."

The banning of intrusive techniques, such as drilling holes through the stone and inserting a camera, will prevent damage to the pyramid, which sits 139 meters (about 455 feet) high and was built by Pharaoh Khufu some 4,500 years ago. It's the largest of the group of pyramids at Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and a major tourist attraction.

Ismail hopes the published research will spark a scientific debate about why the void exists and what might be inside. But he dismisses any theories that the space contains another grand gallery or a burial chamber

"There is no scientific, archaeological or historical evidence that corroborates this," he said. "If there is another burial chamber, there would have been an entrance to it."

Fired teacher got charged of biting a 2 year old.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A preschool teacher accused of biting a 2-year-old student on the face has been arrested on a charge of felony cruelty to a juvenile in Louisiana.

News outlets report 28-year-old Heather Marcotte was arrested Wednesday after being fired from Northlake Christian School in Covington.

She told police she bit the boy in frustration over his behavior. It's unclear if she has a lawyer.

The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office says his mother noticed the bite mark on her son's cheek when she picked him up from school.

Northlake Christian says it takes kids as young as six weeks old and is a "special place where your child will be loved and nurtured." In a statement, Head of School Monty Fontenot says: "We've handled it internally and there's no further comment."

Disabled veteran refuses to receive award from the New Orleans saints over national anthem protest.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A disabled Navy veteran said Wednesday he declined to accept an award at a New Orleans Saints game due to the controversy over players protesting during the national anthem.

The Saints organization was going to honor retired Cmdr. John Wells, the executive director of Military Veterans Advocacy, with the Peoples Health Champion award during last week's game in New Orleans, according to The Advocate.

He told the organization he was unable to accept the award at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome because of the anthem protests. Saints players have been seen kneeling before the anthem and some continue during the national anthem.

"Although I am touched and honored to be selected for such an award, the ongoing controversy with NFL players' disrespect for the national flag forces me to decline to participate in the presentation," Wells said. "I am unable, in good conscience, to enter an NFL stadium while this discourtesy prevails. Since this award is tainted with the dishonorable actions of the NFL and its players, I cannot accept it."

Wells served in the Navy from 1972 to 1994 and afterward became an attorney concentrating in military and veterans law, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. He was set to receive the award given by Medicare to senior citizens who have made significant accomplishments.

The Saints said in a statement Thursday they were disappointed by Wells' decision.

"We will not allow Mr. Wells' decision and subsequent media appearances to distract our players and organization from continuing to honor and support our military and veterans. We, as an organization, have decided to move on from this sad and divisive discourse and focus our attention on supporting our military and veterans."

Each NFL has protested in some form during the national anthem since President Trump's comments about Colin Kaepernick prior to Week 3 of the season. Trump has encouraged owners to punish players who kneel during the anthem.

Las Vegas shooter's brother threatened to kill nursing home employees,

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Bruce Paddock, the brother of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock, is banned from a nursing home in California after he reportedly screamed at and threatened the staff there -- including at least one threat to kill.

Complaints about his behavior at Four Seasons Healthcare & Wellness Center in Los Angeles included one incident in which he yelled at the administrator, "don't f--- with me and tell your nurses not to f--- with me because I'm the one that hurts people," TMZ reported.

As recently as Sunday night, Paddock reportedly broke into the facility center and blocked himself in a room, screaming "Get the f--- out of my way or I'm going to kill you," when an employee approached him.
LAS VEGAS MASS SHOOTER STEPHEN PADDOCK'S BROTHER ARRESTED FOR CHILD PORN
On a different occasion, Paddock shouted at one of the tenants in the facilty, "hey bitch, I want my f---ing razor back," TMZ reported.

"When I get my a-- over there I'm going to shove that f---er so far up you're a-- it'll come out of your ear," he said.

Paddock cannot go within 100 yards of the building and three of its employees, according to a judge.

This isn't his first run-in with the law. On Oct. 25, Paddock was arrested for possession of child pornography.

Bruce Paddock's brother, Steven, killed 58 people and wounded hundreds of others when he fired onto a crowd at a country music festival in Las Vegas on Oct. 1, according to investigators.

A nurse delivered her own baby in her car  outside of the hospital where she works at.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
MECHANICSBURG, CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Pa. -- Some things in life you just can't prepare for... like having a baby in your car outside the hospital where you work.

That happened to a couple from Mechanicsburg. Luckily, mom is a nurse who says she can now add 'Labor and Delivery' to her resume.

Meet Ella Katherine, the newest member of the Michael family.

She has quite the interesting birth story.

"It was about 25-30 minutes after my water broke that she decided she wanted to be here," said Katie Michael, Ella's mom.

Katie Michael's water broke during rush hour on October 27th, a Friday. The couple got stuck in traffic on the way to the hospital and braced themselves for the inevitable.

"I knew she was going to be born in the car because she started coming out," explained Katie.

Ella Katherine Michael was born October 27th at 5:25 p.m. Katie actually picked the time because she delivered her own baby outside of the emergency room at Pinnacle Health in Harrisburg, where she works as a nurse.

"I do a lot of the units in the hospital but L&D is not one of them were joking that I can add L&D now because I was my own L&D nurse," said Katie.

Meanwhile, George Michael, dad, ran inside to get some help.

"I didn't know what was actually happening. Usually, you have a baby in a hospital, not in the car," said George Michael.

Born 7 pounds 8 ounces, the Michael family says Ella is a healthy and happy baby girl.

Sayfullo Saipov(also know as the man who drove through bicycle lanes) apparently was a really kind and good person. Nobody expected him to do something like that.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It had been one year since Saipov left Uzbekistan and came to the United States on a diversity visa. He reached out to Kadirova on social media in 2011. She was a former classmate of his from early elementary school through ninth grade, also living in America.

"He was happy that he was here, he had a family here, and he was a truck driver and his business was really good," Kadirova says.

Kadirova remembers meeting Saipov as a 5-year-old. He was quiet. Calm, even. As they grew up together and until they were about 16 years old in their ninth-grade class in private school, he was active and "didn't do any bad things."

And certainly not the terrorist being portrayed on TV after allegedly ramming a rented Home Depot truck into a crowd of pedestrians and bicyclists in lower Manhattan, killing eight and injuring more than a dozen.

As investigators begin to piece together the life of a man accused of planning an attack in the name of ISIS, those who crossed his path are trying to reconcile the Saipov they met and the one they are now hearing about.

Those who knew him in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and in at least three states he bounced between since coming to America, say they saw no warning signs of Saipov being radicalized.

Maybe an occasional outburst. A bit of a hothead. A little bit secretive here and there.

But no indication he would ever carefully plan a terror attack in the name of ISIS.

"I don't remember him being aggressive, or having bad attitude with others. Overall, I remember him positive," Kadirova says. "Whatever happened, that happened after he moved to USA. When I saw him on news, I couldn't believe that it [was him.] I hardly recognized him."

A 'peaceful' upbringing

Saipov grew up in Uzbekistan's capital city of Tashkent, living with his parents until 2006. He lived in an apartment there with his three sisters, neighbors say. Saipov's family is remembered fondly.

"They were known as a normal, secular and peaceful family," one neighbor in town says. "No radical religious views, or at least they didn't show any."

They were "a good family," a resident who used to live across the hall says. Both residents say after 2006, the family bought a private home, which they thought meant the family was financiall well off.

The young man never provoked suspicions, neighbors say. They told authorities he kept a low profile and was friendly, according to an e-mail from the Uzbekistan Embassy.

His parents preached traditional Islam, according to the Uzbeki government. Neighbors say they didn't attend mosque and were secular. And nobody in town noticed any communication with extremist groups.

Residents in town are now concerned that the stigma of Saipov will somehow connect them to the incident. They don't want to say much. Police and security services have swarmed the area.

Aggression, a family and a disappearance

Saipov began to put down roots of his own in Stow, Ohio, after arriving in the United States on the diversity visa.

The suburb just north of Akron, Ohio, is where he would start his first business and eventually get married. Mirrakhmat Muminov remembers the first time he saw Saipov in the town where about 30 other Uzbek families lived.

But Muminov says Saipov lived a bit removed from the town's Uzbek community.

Both men were in the trucking industry. Saipov registered his company Sayf Motors Inc. in Ohio in 2011. And at one point he worked for Muminov as a truck driver. It was only for a couple of months.

"He was fired because of [a] customer quality issue," Muminov says. "Someone complained about him."

While Muminov says there were some disagreements between Saipov and the community, he made at least one meaningful connection in town. In 2013, he married a fellow Uzbek also from his hometown of Tashkent. He was 25. Nozima Odilova was 19. They were married in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. The marriage license listed him as a truck driver.

Saipov registered a motor carrier business, Bright Auto LLC, in Ohio that same year.

Saipov's three years in Ohio would be relatively mundane. But he certainly left an impression on Muminov, who describes himself as an employer and acquaintance of Saipov.

There was something a little off about him, Muminov says.

He was an "aggressive man." Some bad habits. He seemed nervous. Small things seemed to nag at him a bit deeper. Saipov could yell at people for no reason, Muminov says.

It was as if Saipov was always "swimming against the rules."

"I can describe him like this nervous, young man with some monsters maybe inside his mind," Muminov says.

He never showed signs of radicalization, Muminov says.

There were rumblings about financial trouble and elements of depression, he told Radio Free Europe.

Saipov's time in Stow ended quickly. He moved in a rush, Muminov says. There was no goodbye.

"He just take everything in one day and he disappear. He didn't say a word."

A man of few words

Saipov made his way south, eventually ending up living with his wife and three kids in an apartment complex in Tampa, Florida.

He and his family mostly kept to themselves, neighbors say. A 59-year-old Egyptian woman says Saipov's wife wore a niqab, a traditional Muslim veil that left only her eyes showing.

The only words she ever exchanged with Saipov were to say "Salam-Alaikum," wishing each other a good morning.

It wasn't out of the ordinary, she says. Most people here kept to themselves. And many didn't stay for too long.

The family didn't socialize often. Neighbor Melissa Mathews has lived in the complex three years and only saw them socialize once. There was a barbecue on Saipov's back patio. Saipov's young children sometimes played in the community pool.

Saipov seemed to have regular hours -- as if he had a job, Mathews says.

It is unclear how much of Saipov's time was on the road as a trucker. But he began racking up traffic violations. He already had a ticket from December 2011 in Iowa for not keeping his commercial driving log up to date. In April 2014, he was cited for missing a reflective device on the rear of his tractor-trailer cab, cracks on his windshield and oil on the front of his car hauler.

Then in December 2015, he was ticketed for an equipment violation in Missouri. His tractor-trailer had cracks in the brake lining, according to a statement obtained by CNN affiliate KMBC. He had the option of paying a $129.50 fine for the offense. Or he could tell officials he wanted to plead not guilty. He did neither, the prosecutor said. So a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was taken into custody in Missouri in 2016 and posted a $200 bond.

Saipov's Tampa neighbors say he left town suddenly.

One day the family was just gone, Mathews says.

The alleged plot comes into focus

The last known move Saipov and his family made was north to New Jersey about a year and half ago.

In just a few months, he would become inspired to carry out a deadly attack in the United States, authorities allege. Saipov watched ISIS videos on his cellphone, according to court documents.

At the same time, he was establishing himself in his Paterson, New Jersey, neighborhood.

One neighbor even viewed him as somewhat of a peacemaker, though he didn't extensively interact with him.

Carlos Batista was riding his dirt bike in the neighborhood about six months ago.

Saipov's friends complained it was too loud and things got a little testy. But Saipov stepped in and "calmed everything down," Batista says.

While living in Paterson, Saipov began driving for Uber. He passed his last background check for the company in July 2017. There are no reports of any complaints from customers, the company says.

It was about one month later that Saipov made the decision to use a truck in the attack, authorities say.

Authorities say Saipov, in a hospital bed after being shot by police, shared details of what he did in the month leading up to the attack.

They say he told them he chose a truck as his weapon to "inflict maximum damage." He said he was motivated in particular by a video in which ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi asked what Muslims in America and around the world were doing to respond to Muslims being killed in Iraq, court records state.

Saipov began narrowing in on the specifics of the attack in early October. His internet searches focused on details about Halloween in New York and truck rentals, according to court documents.

Nine days before the attack, Saipov told authorities he rented a truck "so he could practice making turns with the truck in advance of the attack."

Neighbors in Paterson had no reason to question the Home Depot truck in the community, even though they never saw it being used with tools or for any work.

The day of the attack, Saipov traveled to a Home Depot and rented a truck under his name for two hours. He never intended to bring it back, according to court documents. He thought about displaying ISIS flags on the truck, but decided against it, so it didn't attract attention. His plan was to drive the truck into pedestrians on the West Side Highway, and continue all the way to the Brooklyn Bridge, according to court documents.

Saipov killed eight people and injured more than a dozen in the process, police said. The attack ended when the truck crashed into a school bus.

Witnesses said the driver exited the truck yelling "Allahu Akbar." He carried a paintball gun and a pellet gun, police said, and left behind a bag of knives and a handwritten note in Arabic stating that the Islamic State would endure. Saipov was shot by police and taken to the hospital.

Authorities say they found a trove of videos and pictures related to ISIS on Saipov's phone: 90 videos full of propaganda, beheadings, instructions on explosives and about 3,800 images, including the ISIS flag and images of the ISIS leader.

On Tuesday, from his hospital bed, Saipov seemed to show no remorse, authorities said.

He asked to display an ISIS flag in his hospital room, court documents show.

On Wednesday he was wheeled into a federal courtroom to face the charges against him: providing material support to a terrorist organization and violence and destruction of motor vehicles. He entered no plea.

Meanwhile, friends and relatives were baffled by what they've learned.

Saipov's mother-in-law lives in a Brooklyn neighborhood that's home to Uzbek immigrants. When approached in the lobby of her apartment building on Tuesday, she said she was in shock.

"I don't know what happened," she said.

Beyonce joins cast of Disney's live-action 'Lion King'

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Beyoncé will be a part of Disney's upcoming live-action version of its beloved animated film, "The Lion King," the company announced on Wednesday.

The singer will be playing the character of Nala, a lion who is the love interest of the film's protagonist, Simba.

She'll join an all-star cast announced in February that includes Donald Glover as Simba and James Earl Jones, who is reprising his role from the 1994 animated film as Mufasa.

Others stars in the cast include Chiwetel Ejiofor, John Oliver, Seth Rogen and Alfre Woodard.

The film, which is directed by Jon Favreau, will be a "new take" on the now classic story of the lions of Pride Rock and will feature "pioneering filmmaking techniques," according to Disney.

It is set for release on July 19, 2019.

"The Lion King" is among several live action reboots of Disney animated classics.

The brand has included big box office hits "Cinderella," "The Jungle Book" (a film that was also directed by Favreau), and most recently, "Beauty and the Beast," which has made more than $1.2 billion worldwide.

"The Lion King, which included popular songs like "Circle of Life," made $968 million at the global box office and spawned a successful and long-running Broadway show.

A kid who was injured in Manhattan went to school the next day to keep perfect attendance record.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
You can't keep a good kid down.

One of two city students injured Tuesday when a terrorist rammed his truck into their yellow school bus was back in class the very next day - all to keep his perfect attendance record.

Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña revealed his story on a visit Thursday morning with Mayor de Blasio to comfort shaken students and staffers at Stuyvesant High School.

"One of the students that was on the bus, we all assumed would not come back the next day," Fariña said. The 16-year-old boy had gone to the hospital with minor injuries, was released and went home.

The next morning, he told his mother he wanted to go to school.

"What he told his mother is he had to go to school because he was working on 100% perfect attendance," Fariña said.

The teen's bus didn't show up to his Brooklyn home - assuming, too, that he'd want the day off.

"His mother took a car service from Brooklyn to Manhattan to deliver her child to school," Fariña said. "That's what New York is all about."

Another student injured in Tuesday's attack was not as fortunate. A family member of the 14-year-old girl said she has not regained consciousness.

"She's still in the ICU, Cornell Weill, the hospital is doing everything they can," said the family member, who wouldn't give her name. "She was in the school bus, she is special needs, she's in critical condition.

But until now none had stumbled upon a 30-meter-long space hidden within its limestone and granite walls.

An international group of scientists has used modern technology to visualize the inside of the pyramid, according to an article published Thursday in the journal Nature.

Researchers hope the discovery will help them understand more fully how the massive pyramid was built.

The Great Pyramid contains three previously discovered rooms: the King's chamber, a smaller Queen's chamber and a passageway called the Grand Gallery. But this marks the first discovery of a major space inside the ancient structure since the 19th century, the journal says.

The scientists work with ScanPyramids, a mission under the French Heritage, Innovation and Preservation Institute, the Faculty of Engineering of Cairo, and the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities. The group applied a physics technique that allowed them to track particles called muons, which come from cosmic rays striking atoms in the upper atmosphere. Once the particles fall and pass through different materials, they lose energy, causing them to slow and decay.

By using detectors, scientists can count the number of muons passing through the pyramid. Muons are partially absorbed by stone, so any large holes in the pyramid would result in more muons than expected landing on the detectors.

The researchers realized they were on to something after they placed their detectors inside the Queen's chamber of the pyramid and found an unexpectedly large number of muons passing through, suggesting there was a previously unidentified "void," or empty space, above the chamber.

Three teams of physicists repeated the measurements to be sure of their finding. Each time, the conclusion was the same.

The large space could be horizontal, or sloped like the Grand Gallery. Its purpose, and what may lie inside, is still unclear. Scientists currently have no plans to use an intrusive technique to find out.

"It's the Great Pyramid, we can't touch it," said Mohamed Ismail, a spokesman for the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities.

Instead, the ministry wants other researchers to come forward with proposals to use different or more advanced techniques to verify the finding.

"Even if it is a different team with the same technology," Ismail said. "Any intrusive technique is out of the question."

The banning of intrusive techniques, such as drilling holes through the stone and inserting a camera, will prevent damage to the pyramid, which sits 139 meters (about 455 feet) high and was built by Pharaoh Khufu some 4,500 years ago. It's the largest of the group of pyramids at Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and a major tourist attraction.

Ismail hopes the published research will spark a scientific debate about why the void exists and what might be inside. But he dismisses any theories that the space contains another grand gallery or a burial chamber

"There is no scientific, archaeological or historical evidence that corroborates this," he said. "If there is another burial chamber, there would have been an entrance to it."

Allegedly, the man was already behaving raucously on the bus transfer prior to the Oct. 25 flight, an unidentified witness told the Manchester Evening News. After boarding, he was seemingly intoxicated and heckled other passengers after being denied more alcohol.

"On the flight the disruptive passenger kept walking up and down the aisles, trying to aggravate passengers," the witness said. "The flight crew did refuse to serve him alcohol. He kept saying, 'You have given it to everyone else.'"

Once the flight landed at Gander International Airport, the man was escorted off the aircraft by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The man's partner, who tried to calm him down during the flight, was allowed to continue on the journey to Manchester, the Evening News added.

Further, TUI Airways confirmed that the flight had been forced to make an emergency landing during the Oct. 25 incident and apologized for the matter.

"We're aware of the situation that occurred on board flight TOM173 from Cancun to Manchester, which diverted to Canada due to a disruptive passenger," a spokesman told the Evening News. "Once the passenger was offloaded and after a short delay we can confirm that the aircraft departed safely and continued its journey to Manchester."

"We would like to again apologize to any passengers inconvenienced by this and would like to reassure customers that we take a zero-tolerance approach to any behavior of this kind," they added.

The man was reportedly being held in a facility in Gander, Newfoundland, and scheduled to appear in court on Thursday to answer for violating the Aeronautics Act, CBC said.

CIA reveals rare images of Osama bin Laden's son

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hamza bin Laden -- the favored son of Osama bin Laden -- has kept his image hidden from the public since he was a young child, despite taking on an increasingly vocal role in al Qaeda propaganda in recent years.

But video released by the Central Intelligence Agency shows, for the first time, images of Hamza bin Laden as a young adult -- the most recent depiction to date of the man a resurgent al Qaeda could be grooming for a leadership role, one senior counterterrorism official told CNN.

The video is part of a massive collection of materials seized during the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in 2011 and released by the agency on Wednesday.

The Foundation for Defense of Democracies is analyzing the videos and more than 500,000 other files released by the CIA.

Wearing a white robe with gold trim, Hamza is seen at times smiling sheepishly as children hover in and out of the frame.

Officials said the images are from his wedding, which is believed to have taken place before 2009 in Iran.

"In the video, Hamza is being married to the daughter of a senior al Qaeda leader," according to Bill Roggio of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. "Osama bin Laden, in his documents, is very interested in the growth of Hamza as a young man."

Osama bin Laden was in hiding at the time of his son's wedding, but analysts told CNN that he was very eager to see the video and made sure that senior al Qaeda members were in attendance.

Hamza bin Laden was introduced to militant audiences as a child -- often featured in al Qaeda propaganda videos holding his father's automatic rifle, reading a poem or engaging in militant training with other young boys. He is now believed to be in his mid- to late 20s.

Al Qaeda has increasingly called upon the son to help spread their propaganda message in recent years, but despite indications that Hamza bin Laden's profile within the terrorist group was on the rise, his image has been hidden from public view -- until now.

US officials said Hamza was at his father's side right before and after the 9/11 attacks, but then went on the run -- relocating to Iran with other members of the bin Laden family, according to FDD analysts.

While he and his family were initially welcomed into Iran after 9/11, their presence soon became a point of tension between al Qaeda and the Iranian regime.

Hamza studied al Qaeda's militant ideology while under house arrest in Iran after the 9/11 terror attacks, Ali Soufan, a former FBI agent who tracked al Qaeda, told CNN earlier this year.

In one letter to his father, he said he was "forged from steel,"and ready to "march with the armies of the Muajahadeen," Soufan added.

Earlier this year, Hamza released a 10-minute audio message calling on followers to attack Jews, Americans, Westerners and even Russians, in lone-wolf-style attacks, using whatever means are easily available.

"If you are able to pick up a firearm, well and good; if not, the options are many," the voice says, in a video obtained by SITE Intelligence Group.

"He has been trying to copy his dad, the tone of his dad, and also to copy and repeat the messages and terminologies used by his dad in the past," Soufan told CNN at the time of the recording's release.

"Hamza at this point is being prepared for senior leadership in al Qaeda, to play a role down the road in leading the organization, and probably in unifying the global jihadi movement," he said. "He had a lot of charisma, and he had enormous public-speaking abilities at a very young age."

A senior US counterterrorism official told CNN that al Qaeda could be grooming Hamza for future leadership roles and some analysts said he may be in line to become the terror group's next leader.

"Because he is Bin Laden's preferred son. Because he has the right name," said Matthew Levitt of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. "He's got the blood in his veins."

In a 2015 recording, al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri introduced the younger bin Laden as one of al-Qaeda's "lions."

Previously reported documents recovered after the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan in 2011 showed that Osama bin Laden wanted his son to join him, a US counter-terrorism official told CNN earlier this year.

But by the time of the raid, the two had not been reunited -- although Hamza's brother, Khalid, was at the compound, and was killed along with their father.

Al Qaeda has often been overshadowed by the brutality and shock value of ISIS in recent years, but US officials have said they are still a potent and durable organization, even as it has become more dispersed throughout the Middle East.

The terror group has expanded into war-torn countries like Syria, Somalia, Yemen and Libya.

The Las Vegas shooter brother threatens to kill nursing home employees

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Bruce Paddock, the brother of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock, is banned from a nursing home in California after he reportedly screamed at and threatened the staff there -- including at least one threat to kill.

Complaints about his behavior at Four Seasons Healthcare & Wellness Center in Los Angeles included one incident in which he yelled at the administrator, "don't f--- with me and tell your nurses not to f--- with me because I'm the one that hurts people," TMZ reported.

As recently as Sunday night, Paddock reportedly broke into the facility center and blocked himself in a room, screaming "Get the f--- out of my way or I'm going to kill you," when an employee approached him.
LAS VEGAS MASS SHOOTER STEPHEN PADDOCK'S BROTHER ARRESTED FOR CHILD PORN
On a different occasion, Paddock shouted at one of the tenants in the facilty, "hey bitch, I want my f---ing razor back," TMZ reported.

"When I get my a-- over there I'm going to shove that f---er so far up you're a-- it'll come out of your ear," he said.

Paddock cannot go within 100 yards of the building and three of its employees, according to a judge.

This isn't his first run-in with the law. On Oct. 25, Paddock was arrested for possession of child pornography.

Bruce Paddock's brother, Steven, killed 58 people and wounded hundreds of others when he fired onto a crowd at a country music festival in Las Vegas on Oct. 1, according to investigators.

a teacher is fired for biting a 2 year old student on the face.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A preschool teacher accused of biting a 2-year-old student on the face has been arrested on a charge of felony cruelty to a juvenile in Louisiana.

News outlets report 28-year-old Heather Marcotte was arrested Wednesday after being fired from Northlake Christian School in Covington.

She told police she bit the boy in frustration over his behavior. It's unclear if she has a lawyer.

The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office says his mother noticed the bite mark on her son's cheek when she picked him up from school.

Northlake Christian says it takes kids as young as six weeks old and is a "special place where your child will be loved and nurtured." In a statement, Head of School Monty Fontenot says: "We've handled it internally and there's no further comment."

Sayfullo Saipov's path from 'very kind boy' to terror suspect

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It had been one year since Saipov left Uzbekistan and came to the United States on a diversity visa. He reached out to Kadirova on social media in 2011. She was a former classmate of his from early elementary school through ninth grade, also living in America.

"He was happy that he was here, he had a family here, and he was a truck driver and his business was really good," Kadirova says.

Kadirova remembers meeting Saipov as a 5-year-old. He was quiet. Calm, even. As they grew up together and until they were about 16 years old in their ninth-grade class in private school, he was active and "didn't do any bad things."

And certainly not the terrorist being portrayed on TV after allegedly ramming a rented Home Depot truck into a crowd of pedestrians and bicyclists in lower Manhattan, killing eight and injuring more than a dozen.

As investigators begin to piece together the life of a man accused of planning an attack in the name of ISIS, those who crossed his path are trying to reconcile the Saipov they met and the one they are now hearing about.

Those who knew him in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and in at least three states he bounced between since coming to America, say they saw no warning signs of Saipov being radicalized.

Maybe an occasional outburst. A bit of a hothead. A little bit secretive here and there.

But no indication he would ever carefully plan a terror attack in the name of ISIS.

"I don't remember him being aggressive, or having bad attitude with others. Overall, I remember him positive," Kadirova says. "Whatever happened, that happened after he moved to USA. When I saw him on news, I couldn't believe that it [was him.] I hardly recognized him."

A 'peaceful' upbringing

Saipov grew up in Uzbekistan's capital city of Tashkent, living with his parents until 2006. He lived in an apartment there with his three sisters, neighbors say. Saipov's family is remembered fondly.

"They were known as a normal, secular and peaceful family," one neighbor in town says. "No radical religious views, or at least they didn't show any."

They were "a good family," a resident who used to live across the hall says. Both residents say after 2006, the family bought a private home, which they thought meant the family was financiall well off.

The young man never provoked suspicions, neighbors say. They told authorities he kept a low profile and was friendly, according to an e-mail from the Uzbekistan Embassy.

His parents preached traditional Islam, according to the Uzbeki government. Neighbors say they didn't attend mosque and were secular. And nobody in town noticed any communication with extremist groups.

Residents in town are now concerned that the stigma of Saipov will somehow connect them to the incident. They don't want to say much. Police and security services have swarmed the area.

Aggression, a family and a disappearance

Saipov began to put down roots of his own in Stow, Ohio, after arriving in the United States on the diversity visa.

The suburb just north of Akron, Ohio, is where he would start his first business and eventually get married. Mirrakhmat Muminov remembers the first time he saw Saipov in the town where about 30 other Uzbek families lived.

But Muminov says Saipov lived a bit removed from the town's Uzbek community.

Both men were in the trucking industry. Saipov registered his company Sayf Motors Inc. in Ohio in 2011. And at one point he worked for Muminov as a truck driver. It was only for a couple of months.

"He was fired because of [a] customer quality issue," Muminov says. "Someone complained about him."

While Muminov says there were some disagreements between Saipov and the community, he made at least one meaningful connection in town. In 2013, he married a fellow Uzbek also from his hometown of Tashkent. He was 25. Nozima Odilova was 19. They were married in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. The marriage license listed him as a truck driver.

Saipov registered a motor carrier business, Bright Auto LLC, in Ohio that same year.

Saipov's three years in Ohio would be relatively mundane. But he certainly left an impression on Muminov, who describes himself as an employer and acquaintance of Saipov.

There was something a little off about him, Muminov says.

He was an "aggressive man." Some bad habits. He seemed nervous. Small things seemed to nag at him a bit deeper. Saipov could yell at people for no reason, Muminov says.

It was as if Saipov was always "swimming against the rules."

"I can describe him like this nervous, young man with some monsters maybe inside his mind," Muminov says.

He never showed signs of radicalization, Muminov says.

There were rumblings about financial trouble and elements of depression, he told Radio Free Europe.

Saipov's time in Stow ended quickly. He moved in a rush, Muminov says. There was no goodbye.

"He just take everything in one day and he disappear. He didn't say a word."

A man of few words

Saipov made his way south, eventually ending up living with his wife and three kids in an apartment complex in Tampa, Florida.

He and his family mostly kept to themselves, neighbors say. A 59-year-old Egyptian woman says Saipov's wife wore a niqab, a traditional Muslim veil that left only her eyes showing.

The only words she ever exchanged with Saipov were to say "Salam-Alaikum," wishing each other a good morning.

It wasn't out of the ordinary, she says. Most people here kept to themselves. And many didn't stay for too long.

The family didn't socialize often. Neighbor Melissa Mathews has lived in the complex three years and only saw them socialize once. There was a barbecue on Saipov's back patio. Saipov's young children sometimes played in the community pool.

Saipov seemed to have regular hours -- as if he had a job, Mathews says.

It is unclear how much of Saipov's time was on the road as a trucker. But he began racking up traffic violations. He already had a ticket from December 2011 in Iowa for not keeping his commercial driving log up to date. In April 2014, he was cited for missing a reflective device on the rear of his tractor-trailer cab, cracks on his windshield and oil on the front of his car hauler.

Then in December 2015, he was ticketed for an equipment violation in Missouri. His tractor-trailer had cracks in the brake lining, according to a statement obtained by CNN affiliate KMBC. He had the option of paying a $129.50 fine for the offense. Or he could tell officials he wanted to plead not guilty. He did neither, the prosecutor said. So a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was taken into custody in Missouri in 2016 and posted a $200 bond.

Saipov's Tampa neighbors say he left town suddenly.

One day the family was just gone, Mathews says.

The alleged plot comes into focus

The last known move Saipov and his family made was north to New Jersey about a year and half ago.

In just a few months, he would become inspired to carry out a deadly attack in the United States, authorities allege. Saipov watched ISIS videos on his cellphone, according to court documents.

At the same time, he was establishing himself in his Paterson, New Jersey, neighborhood.

One neighbor even viewed him as somewhat of a peacemaker, though he didn't extensively interact with him.

Carlos Batista was riding his dirt bike in the neighborhood about six months ago.

Saipov's friends complained it was too loud and things got a little testy. But Saipov stepped in and "calmed everything down," Batista says.

While living in Paterson, Saipov began driving for Uber. He passed his last background check for the company in July 2017. There are no reports of any complaints from customers, the company says.

It was about one month later that Saipov made the decision to use a truck in the attack, authorities say.

Authorities say Saipov, in a hospital bed after being shot by police, shared details of what he did in the month leading up to the attack.

They say he told them he chose a truck as his weapon to "inflict maximum damage." He said he was motivated in particular by a video in which ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi asked what Muslims in America and around the world were doing to respond to Muslims being killed in Iraq, court records state.

Saipov began narrowing in on the specifics of the attack in early October. His internet searches focused on details about Halloween in New York and truck rentals, according to court documents.

Nine days before the attack, Saipov told authorities he rented a truck "so he could practice making turns with the truck in advance of the attack."

Neighbors in Paterson had no reason to question the Home Depot truck in the community, even though they never saw it being used with tools or for any work.

The day of the attack, Saipov traveled to a Home Depot and rented a truck under his name for two hours. He never intended to bring it back, according to court documents. He thought about displaying ISIS flags on the truck, but decided against it, so it didn't attract attention. His plan was to drive the truck into pedestrians on the West Side Highway, and continue all the way to the Brooklyn Bridge, according to court documents.

Saipov killed eight people and injured more than a dozen in the process, police said. The attack ended when the truck crashed into a school bus.

Witnesses said the driver exited the truck yelling "Allahu Akbar." He carried a paintball gun and a pellet gun, police said, and left behind a bag of knives and a handwritten note in Arabic stating that the Islamic State would endure. Saipov was shot by police and taken to the hospital.

Authorities say they found a trove of videos and pictures related to ISIS on Saipov's phone: 90 videos full of propaganda, beheadings, instructions on explosives and about 3,800 images, including the ISIS flag and images of the ISIS leader.

On Tuesday, from his hospital bed, Saipov seemed to show no remorse, authorities said.

He asked to display an ISIS flag in his hospital room, court documents show.

On Wednesday he was wheeled into a federal courtroom to face the charges against him: providing material support to a terrorist organization and violence and destruction of motor vehicles. He entered no plea.

Meanwhile, friends and relatives were baffled by what they've learned.

Saipov's mother-in-law lives in a Brooklyn neighborhood that's home to Uzbek immigrants. When approached in the lobby of her apartment building on Tuesday, she said she was in shock.

"I don't know what happened," she said.

The last known move Saipov and his family made was north to New Jersey about a year and half ago.

In just a few months, he would become inspired to carry out a deadly attack in the United States, authorities allege. Saipov watched ISIS videos on his cellphone, according to court documents.

At the same time, he was establishing himself in his Paterson, New Jersey, neighborhood.

One neighbor even viewed him as somewhat of a peacemaker, though he didn't extensively interact with him.

Carlos Batista was riding his dirt bike in the neighborhood about six months ago.

Saipov's friends complained it was too loud and things got a little testy. But Saipov stepped in and "calmed everything down," Batista says.

While living in Paterson, Saipov began driving for Uber. He passed his last background check for the company in July 2017. There are no reports of any complaints from customers, the company says.

It was about one month later that Saipov made the decision to use a truck in the attack, authorities say.

Authorities say Saipov, in a hospital bed after being shot by police, shared details of what he did in the month leading up to the attack.

They say he told them he chose a truck as his weapon to "inflict maximum damage." He said he was motivated in particular by a video in which ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi asked what Muslims in America and around the world were doing to respond to Muslims being killed in Iraq, court records state.

Saipov began narrowing in on the specifics of the attack in early October. His internet searches focused on details about Halloween in New York and truck rentals, according to court documents.

Nine days before the attack, Saipov told authorities he rented a truck "so he could practice making turns with the truck in advance of the attack."

Neighbors in Paterson had no reason to question the Home Depot truck in the community, even though they never saw it being used with tools or for any work.

The day of the attack, Saipov traveled to a Home Depot and rented a truck under his name for two hours. He never intended to bring it back, according to court documents. He thought about displaying ISIS flags on the truck, but decided against it, so it didn't attract attention. His plan was to drive the truck into pedestrians on the West Side Highway, and continue all the way to the Brooklyn Bridge, according to court documents.

Saipov killed eight people and injured more than a dozen in the process, police said. The attack ended when the truck crashed into a school bus.

Witnesses said the driver exited the truck yelling "Allahu Akbar." He carried a paintball gun and a pellet gun, police said, and left behind a bag of knives and a handwritten note in Arabic stating that the Islamic State would endure. Saipov was shot by police and taken to the hospital.

Authorities say they found a trove of videos and pictures related to ISIS on Saipov's phone: 90 videos full of propaganda, beheadings, instructions on explosives and about 3,800 images, including the ISIS flag and images of the ISIS leader.

On Tuesday, from his hospital bed, Saipov seemed to show no remorse, authorities said.

He asked to display an ISIS flag in his hospital room, court documents show.

On Wednesday he was wheeled into a federal courtroom to face the charges against him: providing material support to a terrorist organization and violence and destruction of motor vehicles. He entered no plea.

Meanwhile, friends and relatives were baffled by what they've learned.

Saipov's mother-in-law lives in a Brooklyn neighborhood that's home to Uzbek immigrants. When approached in the lobby of her apartment building on Tuesday, she said she was in shock.

"I don't know what happened," she said.

The Weekend 27 years old and Selena Gomez 25 years old have split up after 10 months of being madly "inlove"

Music's hottest it couple has called it quits.

Selena Gomez, 25, and The Weeknd, 27, have ended their relationship, multiple sources confirm to PEOPLE exclusively.

"She and Abel have been going back and forth for a few months about their relationship," says an insider. "It's been hard with him being on tour and her shooting in New York. That wasn't easy on them."

While Gomez "always made an effort" to attend his shows when she could, "that played a part in them getting distant," adds the insider. "It's over for now, but they're still in touch."

The breakup also hasn't been easy on the couple. "It's been hard for them to come to the realization that this is the direction things were heading, but it's been hard for months," says the insider, who adds that Gomez is not back together with her ex Justin Bieber. Gomez was spotted spending time with Bieber - whom she dated on-and-off from 2011 to 2015 - over the weekend. The duo attended church together and were photographed by TMZ grabbing breakfast at a café in Westlake Village, California, in late October.

It's been a challenging year for Gomez, who revealed in September that the reason she quietly stepped back from her career over the summer was because she was recovering from a kidney transplant.

The Weeknd and Gomez first became linked in January, when they were spotted sharing a kiss while out on a romantic dinner date. A source told PEOPLE at the time that the budding romance was "new and nothing serious."

However, in the months that followed, the two would flaunt their status as the picture-perfect couple. Gomez and Weeknd traveled to Italy together shortly after and even took a trip to the "Earned It" singer's hometown of Toronto, Canada, in March.

After a series of sweet outings, the stars made their official debut as a couple at the Met Gala. And, most importantly, Weeknd received a stamp of approval from Gomez's mother, Mandy Teefey.

The whirlwind romance showed no signs of slowing down, with a source previously telling PEOPLE, "They're doing great together. Abel treats Selena really well and he makes her very happy."

In May, Gomez explained why she had opted to make her relationship so public.

"It's really hard when I would want to spend so much time hiding things," she said in an interview with On Air With Ryan Seacrest.

"It's too much pressure, and I think everyone gets over everything eventually... I just want to be happy. If that's me just being myself, then I don't really care."
