Boy Scouts open membership to transgender boys

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Under the new policy, which takes effect immediately, membership in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts will be based on the gender indicated on an application.

Previously, the organization relied on an individual's birth certificate to determine eligibility for its single-gender programs.

"However, that approach is no longer sufficient as communities and state laws are interpreting gender identity differently, and these laws vary widely from state to state," BSA spokeswoman Effie Delimarkos said in a statement Monday.

The change brings the Boy Scouts in line with other youth organizations, including the Girl Scouts, that have created transgender-friendly membership policies in recent years.

It comes a few months after an 8-year-old Cub Scout in New Jersey accused the organization of expelling him for being transgender.

The Boy Scouts did not specifically cite the New Jersey case in its statement. But Chief Scout Executive Michael Surbaugh acknowledged the group recently had been "challenged by a very complex topic... the issue of gender identity."

"We've taken the opportunity to evaluate and update our approach. I hope you'll join with me in embracing the opportunity to bring scouting to more families and children who can benefit from what our organization has to offer," he said in video statement.

"This is an area that we will continue to thoughtfully evaluate to bring the benefits of scouting to the greatest number of youth possible all while remaining true to our core beliefs."

Zach Wahls, co-founder of Scouts for Equality, applauded the decision and credited the New Jersey case with forcing BSA to rethink its policy.

"This is another historic day for the Boy Scouts of America. The decision to allow transgender boys to participate in the Cub Scouts and the Boy Scouts is an important step forward for this American institution," Wahls said.

"We are incredibly proud of Joe Maldonado -- the transgender boy from New Jersey whose expulsion last year ignited this controversy -- and his mother Kristie for their courage in doing what they knew was right. We are also proud of the Boy Scouts for deciding to do the right thing. We look forward to seeing more detail clarifying this policy change in the days and weeks ahead."

The Boys Scouts of America has come under fire in the past over LGBT issues. In 2015, it lifted the ban on gay adults as Scout leaders. And it was only three years ago that it allowed allowed openly gay youths to join scouting.

Germany: Six teens dead in Bavaria after party in a garden hut. A father in Germany has found the bodies of six teenagers, including his son and daughter, in his secluded garden hut in Bavaria. Theye died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A father in Germany has found the bodies of six teenagers, including his son and daughter, in his secluded garden hut in Bavaria.

The five young men and a woman aged 18 and 19 had been having a party outside the town of Arnstein on Saturday night.

The hut's owner went to look for the teenagers when they failed to reappear on Sunday.

Police say the cause of the deaths is unclear, but that there are no initial indications of a violent crime.

The father called emergency services for help but it was too late. A neighbour told German media that his daughter had been celebrating her 18th birthday.

The brick-built building was some distance outside Arnstein and the area was covered in snow.

Police are trying to find out whether a wood-burning stove used to heat the secluded building had led to the deaths. One theory is that they may have died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

"The circumstances remain unclear," said police spokesman Bjorn Schmitt on Monday. "We don't want to get involved in any speculation."

A criminal investigation has been launched and a post mortem examination will be carried out into the cause of the teenagers' deaths.

LEE'S SUMMIT, Mo. -- A team of detectives spent hours in a Lee's Summit neighborhood on Thursday investigating a 14-year-old girl's claims that three boys sexually assaulted her inside a house near S.E. Seventh Street and Cumberland on Sunday morning.

Investigators say the girl told them she was visiting someone when the boys, ages 14, 15, and 16 attacked her. The boys live in the home.

When detectives arrived at the home, the police presence alarmed neighbors.

"They had 15, 12, 15 people just running in and out of the house," said Nick Rellihan, a neighbor. "I looked out my window. I just saw cops with shotguns."

Rellihan says at one point the officers had their guns drawn and canines ready.

He says his family knows the family who lives in the home being searched.

"I've talked to their kids and they've come over and played in our yards a lot, talked to the guys that live there," he said.

Investigators removed several brown paper bags and plastic bins filled with possible evidence. None of the family members were there when police executed the search warrant and no arrests were made in the case.

The seven countries affected by President Donald Trump's new travel ban are among at least 11 countries where a clandestine U.S. special operations task force is hunting ISIS operatives who could hatch terrorist plots or make their way to the United States as they flee the "caliphate" in Syria and Iraq, counterterrorism officials tell ABC News.

Interested in ISIS?

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

The Counter-External Operations Task Force, or Ex-Ops, was devised by the Obama administration last fall, when then-Defense Secretary Ash Carter quietly announced that he had put America's most covert black ops troops in charge of tracking ISIS fighters moving beyond the boundaries of established war zones in Southwest Asia.

Syria, Iraq and five other countries affected by the Trump executive order last Friday are also the responsibility of Ex-Ops forces under the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), as well as at least four more countries not subject to his order regarding harsher immigration restrictions for foreign travelers - Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt - officials said.

Trump's White House has compared his executive order with the Obama administration's halting Iraqi refugee admissions almost entirely in 2011 because two al-Qaeda insurgents from Baiji, Iraq, were found to be living in Kentucky and giving support to a weapons smuggling plot in an FBI sting, as ABC News exclusively reported in 2013.

As he did during his presidential campaign, Trump singled out Syria and said granting Syrian refugees entry to the U.S. would be "detrimental to the interests of the United States."

What the Trump White House hasn't disclosed publicly, likely for reasons of operational security, is that "a small number of refugees settled here are under FBI investigation for ties to IED [improvised explosive device] networks overseas," a senior counterterrorism official told ABC News this week.

Trump also has yet to discuss publicly continuing the secret JSOC program focused on the same countries identified in his immigration executive order - which began as a program under Obama aimed at preventing ISIS operatives from becoming threats outside the Iraqi and Syrian conflicts.

"The idea is to figure out where they're going, why they're going there, all of their logistics, tie them together and figure out how to empower allies to act on it," a counterterrorism official familiar with the planning for Ex-Ops told ABC News recently.

Besides "squirters" leaving the caliphate - military slang for enemies who flee a large U.S. counterterrorism operation - the new task force under JSOC commander Army Lt. Gen. Austin "Scotty" Miller is tracking terrorism money trails around the Middle East, Asia and Europe, officials said.

"The big takeaway is to understand why they're doing what they're doing, in order to mitigate it in the future," the counterterrorism official added.

The Obama administration established the 11 countries as U.S.-military-led counterterrorism priorities months before Trump won the 2016 election in November, officials said. The prioritization was based on intelligence on where ISIS operatives have been known to relocate and where major clusters of fighters are gathering, such as in Libya - where Obama in his last hours as president approved a massive B-2 stealth bomber airstrike on 100 jihadis who the Pentagon said were plotting attacks on Europe.

Trump last week made it harder for refugees and travelers to lawfully enter the U.S. from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.

A senior administration official declined to comment to ABC News about the 11 countries where the special operations task force is focused or about its military priorities in combating ISIS.

In October on a trip to Paris, Carter hinted at the new task force but not its size, scope or authorities, in little-noticed remarks.

"We have put our Joint Special Operations Command in the lead of countering ISIL's external operations. And we have already achieved very significant results both in reducing the flow of foreign fighters and removing ISIL leaders from the battlefield," he said.

Some in counterterrorism operations view the controversy over Trump's move to temporarily halt immigration from seven countries - which are either war-torn countries or state sponsors of terrorism such as Iran - as ironic, since it focuses on some of the very countries where Obama focused counterterrorism operations for months until he left office.

Though outside the authority of the Ex-Ops task force, last weekend's raid in Yemen by the Navy's SEAL Team Six unit to seize al-Qaeda documents on plots against the West also was an operation planned for months by the Obama administration but launched with Trump's approval once moonlight was minimal and other conditions favorable to American commandos. Several SEALs were critically injured, and one operator, William "Ryan" Owens, was killed in action.

What 12th graders are using to get high. One in 15 seniors smokes pot on a daily or near-daily basis—the highest rate in the past 30 years. Each year, about five of every 100 high school seniors take cough medicine not to treat a cold, but to get high. At high doses—up to 1,500 milligrams, far more than the 15 or 30 milligrams recommended to treat coughs—DXM can cause the same types of out-of-body experiences as powerful hallucinogens like ketamine or PCP. When used properly, prescription medications can treat a wide variety of illnesses and injuries. But about 15 percent of teens use them incorrectly, either taking drugs meant for someone else or not using them as directed.

Canadian police have charged a French-Canadian student over the fatal shooting of six Muslim worshippers at a mosque in Quebec.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Canadian police have charged a French-Canadian student over the fatal shooting of six Muslim worshippers at a mosque in Quebec.

Alexandre Bissonnette faces six counts of first-degree murder and five of attempted murder.

The 27-year-old briefly appeared in a Quebec City court over Sunday evening's attack, during evening prayers at the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre.

Vigils have been held across Canada to commemorate those killed and injured.

More than 50 people were at the mosque when the shooting erupted just before 20:00 on Sunday.

Nineteen people were wounded - all men - and of five people still in hospital, two were in a critical condition.

Quebec provincial police have released the names of all six victims who were killed:

Father-of-three Azzeddine Soufiane, 57, a grocer and butcher

Khaled Belkacemi, 60, a professor in the food science department at Laval University

Father-of-three, Abdelkrim Hassane, 41, an IT worker for the government

Aboubaker Thabti, 44, and two Guinean nationals, Mamadou Tanou Barry, 42, and Ibrahima Barry, 39
Quebec attack: Who were the victims? Quebec Muslims 'emotionally destroyed' Who is Alexandre Bissonnette?
Mr Bissonnette did not enter a plea as he appeared in court on Monday, wearing a white prison-issue jump suit, his hands and feet shackled.

The suspect was arrested in his car on a bridge leading from Quebec City to Ile d'Orleans, where he called police to say he wanted to co-operate with the authorities.

According to local media, Mr Bissonnette studied political science and anthropology at Laval University, whose campus is about 3km (two miles) away from the mosque.

Francois Deschamps, an official with an advocacy group, Welcome to Refugees, said the suspect was known for his far-right views.

Mr Bissonnette was "unfortunately known to many activists in Quebec for taking nationalist, pro-Le Pen and anti-feminist positions at Laval University and on social media," Mr Deschamps posted on the organisation's Facebook page.

A man of Moroccan heritage who was also arrested after the attack, Mohamed Khadir, is now being treated as a witness.

At a vigil in Quebec - Jessica Murphy, BBC News

Thousands of people, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard, braved the cold at a vigil near the mosque to lay flowers and candles that flickered in the snow.

The streets were packed tight, and residents flowed by foot from the streets surrounding the mosque as police still blocked the roads to cars directly around the site of the attack.

Few carried signs but those that did called for unity among Quebecers. "Tous unis", French for "all together", was a popular phrase.

Ali Dahan, one of many who came to pay his respects, said the vigil sent a strong message against intolerance. "Such racist people can affect all possibility of progress," he said.

"But they lose because you see all the people out here today and they show their solidarity."

The vigil was a balm for the Muslim community, which has sometimes felt it bears the brunt of political rhetoric in the province.

Mr Trudeau and Mr Couillard both described the shooting as a terrorist attack.

Addressing the more than one million Muslims who live in Canada, Mr Trudeau said: "We are with you.

"Thirty-six million hearts are breaking with yours. Know that we value you."

The shooting came amid heightened global tensions over Mr Trump's travel ban on immigration from seven Muslim countries.

On Tuesday the US administration pointed to the Quebec attack as further justification for the new president's policies.

"We condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms," White House spokesman Sean Spicer said.

"It's a terrible reminder of why we must remain vigilant and why the president is taking steps to be pro-active, rather than reactive when it comes to our nation's safety and security."

The mosque has been a target of hate crimes in the past, including last summer when a pig's head was left on its doorstep during Ramadan.

Mohamed Labidi, vice-president of the Islamic centre, said the victims had been shot in the back.

"Security at our mosque was our major, major concern," Mr Labidi said tearfully. "But we were caught off-guard."

The predominantly French-speaking province of Quebec has welcomed thousands of immigrants from Arab countries and other nations.

But there has been a longstanding debate over the "reasonable accommodation" of immigrants and religious minorities.
