Revealing new green lantern movie

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
TheGreen Lantern movie opens in 2020, but Warner Bros recently announced that it will be called Green Lantern Corp and focus on many of the galactic guardians.

For those who don't know, Green Lantern is a comic book about Hal Jordan who gets a ring from a dying alien that gives him the ability to construct anything he can imagine. He joins an interstellar police force known as the "Green Lantern Corp." In the comics, many have taken on the role of the Green Lantern for Earth, including John Stewart. He's a Black former military specialist who has a unique way of approaching his role as protector of Earth. Stewart's best known for his appearance in the Justice League animated series.

There are a lot of rumors about casting, but here is a list of amazing actors who could take the role.

1. Idris Elba

Idris Elba already plays the superhero Heimdell in Thor , and he's playing an unnamed role on Star Trek Beyond, but he could play a DC superhero too. When someone tweeted him a fan made poster as Green Lantern he said, "Thank you baby love. I like this idea." If Elba likes it, that's all it takes.

2. Lance Gross

Lance Darnell Gross is famous for his role on the TV dramatic sitcom House of Payne so he can bring a sense of humor and intensity to the role. The 34-year old actor gave up a Pro Track & Field career to become an actor, so he's got the physicality and his role as Secret Service Agent Marcus Finley in NBC's political drama Crisis shows he can play a convincing policeman.

3. Nate Parker
Nate Parker is both an actor and a musical performer who's famous for roles in The Secret Life of Bees and the action movie Non-Stop. He's got the physicality from being an All-American wrestler in High School and college, so he can easily play a superhero. His performance as a military pilot in Red Tails would give John Stewart's military background authenticity. Parker's also a political activist so he's already a real-life hero.

4. Common
Lonnie Rashid Lynn (better known by his stage name Common) is a Grammy, Golden Globe and Academy award winning artist and rapper. He played a villainous Mob enforcer in Smokin Aces, so he can give John Stewart the edge he needs.

Back in 2007, the movie Justice League Mortal cast Common as John Stewart. But a writers strike and a whole host of other problems sidelined the project. He told Screen Rant "That was one of those things where I was so excited because we rarely see African-American superheroes or people of color as a superhero. I think it would be great for the world to see, and for people to see, and for Hollywood to put that out there, too. But just for the world to see, just for kids to be able to see, for all nationalities to see a person of color as a superhero, too." John Stewart is from Detroit and was really for the community, and Common related to that.

5. Dayo Okeniyi
Oladayo A. "Dayo" Okeniyi was born in Lagos, Nigeria and is best known for playing the role of Thresh in The Hunger Games. The role was very physical shows he can bring the role the power and intensity it needs. But, he also has the ability to play complex characters as proven by his recent performance as tech expert Danny Dyson in Terminator Genisys. Dayo Okeniyi's height helps too since he stands at an impressive 5'9". All of this means he'd make an awesome Green Lantern.

6. Tequan Richmond
Tequila Richmond is only 22-years old but he's already been nominated for an NAACP award and an Emmy for roles onshows like General Hospital. He's an actor and a hip hop artist so he can give Green Lantern an urban edge.

7. Denzel Washington
Denzel Hayes Washington, Jr. needs no introduction as an American actor and filmmaker who's received (not one) but two Golden Globe awards, a Tony Award, and two Academy Awards. He's played everyone from Malcolm X to a drug kingpin. At 60-years old he still rocks the box office in action movies like Training Day and Unstoppable. There was a rumor that he's playing John Stewart in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but it turned out to be false. Would he be up to playing a superhero?

In 2010 he said "I think that comic book movies now are what comics were 30 years ago. I think now with the technology it's like comic books on steroids and I'm very excited about that. I'd love to be a part of something." When he was asked about what superpower he'd want at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival he chuckled and said, "I dunno. You know it's something positive. I dunno. Something that could help us get along. You know. Like a Jedi mind trick. Trick people to being nice to each other." Green Lantern don't have Jedi mind tricks but the Green Lanterns are all about helping people get along.

8. Brandon T. Jackson

Brandon Jackson is 30-years old and he's starred in action films like Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief and Fast & Furious so he's got that down. He's from John Stewart's home town of Detroit and a rapper so he can capture Green Lantern's street smarts.

9. John Boyega
John Boyega will play Finn in Star Wars: The Force Awakens , but his big break was in Attack the Block. It was about a teenage street gang who have to defend themselves from an alien attack. So he's used to fighting aliens. He's a Marvel fan and hoped to play Black Panther but DC could talk him into the role.

10. Aml Ameen

Aml Ameen is a British actor that appeared in the action film Maze Runner. But his best known role is in the police series The Bill where he played headstrong Lewis Hardy who's a former street kid turned policeman. That's exactly the kind of attitude John Stewart needs.

11. Tyrese Gibson

Tyrese Gibson is a former model and singer who's proven himself in action films like the Fast & the Furious films and Transformers series. Fans decided he'd be the perfect Green Lantern and began making pictures and movies of his as the superhero. It convinced him he'd be perfect for the role and he's been campaigning hard on social media. Will he take the oath? We'll see.

12. David Ramsey
David Ramsey is best known for playing as Anton Briggs on the TV series Dexter and John Diggle on Arrow. The character is a former military man and weapons expert. Plus, the dude is built like a superhero. There have been rumors for years that he's going to become Green Lantern, but the producers confirmed this year that it's not going to happen on the show, but that doesn't mean he can't be in the movie!

A teen in Virginia was accused of impersonating a doctor.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A teenager who has previously been charged with impersonating a doctor in Florida has been indicted on fraud charges in Virginia.

Malachi Love-Robinson, 19, was arrested last September and charged with false statements to obtain credit, obtaining money by false pretenses and identity fraud after authorities said he tried to purchase a $35,000 vehicle at a car dealership in Stafford, Virginia. He was formally indicted by a grand jury on Jan. 3, according to the Palm Beach Post.

According to officials, Love-Robinson was accompanied by an elderly woman, who he claimed was his relative, to help him finance the vehicle. But employees at the dealership became suspicious after they discovered the 19-year-old had been previously arrested on fraud-type charges in Florida.

Driver Among 17 Arrested in Connection With Kim Kardashian West Robbery

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
More details are starting to emerge about the 17 people who have been arrested in connection with the robbery of Kim Kardashian West in Paris last October.

Interested in Kardashians?

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

One of the individuals arrested was a driver the Kardashian family had used in Paris, two sources with knowledge of the investigation tell ABC News.

Earlier in the week, French police sources confirmed the 17 arrests were tied to the multi-million dollar heist that left Kardashian West tied up and locked in a bathroom as the assailants made off with her jewels.

Sixteen individuals were arrested in Paris and its suburbs; one additional arrest was made in the south of France. At least one of those arrested was a woman. The oldest person involved in the crime is 70 years old, according to police sources.

Traces of DNA found at the scene of the robbery helped lead investigators to these individuals, the sources said.

The Oct. 4 robbery happened during Paris Fashion Week. Kardashian West was held up at gunpoint inside the exclusive Paris apartment she had rented for the event. The thieves made off with approximately $10 million in jewels.

A spokesperson for Kardashian West said in October that "armed masked men dressed as police officers" were behind the theft, adding that the holdup left the reality TV personality "badly shaken but physically unharmed."

Since that incident, Kardashian West has limited her social media activity and stayed out of the public eye.

In October, Kim's sister Khloe told Ellen DeGeneres that she wasn't "doing that well."

"I think it's just a wake-up call to make a lot of life adjustments," Khloe explained.

A survey taken of about 64,000 adults aged 40 In England and Scotland shows that exercise on the weekends gives major health benefits.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Cramming all your recommended weekly exercise into one or two weekend sessions is enough to produce important health benefits, a study suggests.

And being active without managing 150 minutes of moderate activity a week was still enough to reduce the risk of an early death by a third.

The findings are based on a survey of about 64,000 adults aged over 40 in England and Scotland.

Health experts said purposeful exercise was key to better health.

Researchers from Loughborough University and the University of Sydney analysed data on the time people spent doing exercise and their health over 18 years.

They found that no matter how often people exercised in a week or for how long, the health benefits were similar as long as they met the activity guidelines.

Fighting the flab

This was good news for people with a busy lifestyle who turned into "weekend warriors" in order to fit in all their recommended physical activity, they said.

Compared with those who didn't exercise at all, people who did some kind of physical activity - whether regularly or irregularly - showed a lower risk of dying from cancer and from cardiovascular disease (CVD), which can lead to heart attacks and strokes.

"Weekend warriors", who did all their exercise on one or two days of the week, were found to lower their risk of dying from CVD by 41% and cancer by 18%, compared with the inactive.

Those who exercised regularly on three or more days per week reduced their risks by 41% and 21%.

Even the "insufficiently active" lowered their risk by a significant amount - 37% and 14%, the researchers said, writing in an article published online in JAMA Internal Medicine.

How much physical activity should I do?

People aged 19-64 should try to do:

at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity, such as cycling or fast walking every week, and

strength exercises (such as lifting weights) on two or more days a week that work all the major muscles

Or

75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity, such as running or a game of singles tennis every week, and

strength exercises on two or more days a week that work all the major muscles

Or

a mix of moderate and vigorous aerobic activity every week, such as two 30-minute runs plus 30 minutes of fast walking, and

strength exercises on two or more days a week that work all the major muscles

Dr Gary O'Donovan, study author and expert in physical activity and health, from Loughborough University, said the key was doing exercise that was "purposeful, and done with the intention of improving health".

"You are not going to fidget or stand your way to health," he said.

He added that a commitment to an active lifestyle was usually accompanied by other healthy lifestyle options, which made a positive difference regardless of body mass index (BMI).

But Dr O'Donovan said no-one yet knew the best way of meeting the weekly recommended exercise total.

'Every little counts'

The study cannot show a direct link between physical activity and a reduction in health risks in individuals.

But extensive research has shown that exercise and a healthy diet can reduce the risk of a range of diseases - such as cancer, heart disease and type-2 diabetes - as well as helping to control weight, blood pressure and reduce symptoms of depression.

Justin Varney, national lead for adult health and wellbeing at Public Health England (PHE), said: "The maximum health benefits are achieved from 150 minutes of moderate activity per week.

"However, every little counts and just 10 minutes of physical activity will provide health benefits."

PHE's How Are You quiz gives you a health score and links to free local information, apps and tools to improve that score.

US sending stealth-hunting planes to Japan

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The E-2D Advance Hawkeye airborne early warning and control aircraft will deploy to Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni in February, according to a statement Thursday from US Navy Japan.

Deployment of the Advanced Hawkeyes is part of "a plan to put the most advanced and capable units forward in order to support the United States' commitment to the defense of Japan and the security and stability of the region," the US Navy statement said.

The E-2D is equipped with the A/N-APY radar system, which manufacturer Lockheed Martin says has the power to "see smaller targets -- and more of them -- at a greater range, particularly in coastal regions and over land."

Defense journals say the A/N-APY radar can detect stealth aircraft that might evade older radar systems.

A 2014 report in the US Naval Institute News says the A/N-APY-equipped Hawkeyes could be the US Navy's "secret weapon" against cruise missiles and fifth-generation stealth fighters.

Those would include China's J-31 and J-20 fighters.

Deliveries of the J-20 to China's People's Liberation Army Air Force have begun, the state-run China Daily reported in late December.

China displayed the twin-engine J-20 publicly for the first time in November when two of the planes flew at China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition in Zhuhai.

The latest prototype of the J-31, known as the FC-31, is still under development, China Daily said.

Tensions between Japan and China have ratcheted up over the past year as China challenges Japanese control of the Senkaku Islands, known in China as the Diaoyus.

In October, Japan said it had dispatched its warplanes 407 times between April 1 and September 30 in reaction to increased Chinese military flights near Japanese airspace.

That's almost double the number of intercepts Japan's Air Self Defense Force made on Chinese aircraft in the same period in 2015.

The Advanced Hawkeyes coming to Japan were previously operating from the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt in support strikes on the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, the Navy said.

2 Detained in Bizarre Alleged Bank Robbery Streamed on Facebook Live.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Police are investigating a bizarre incident where a man claims to have filmed a bank robbery on Facebook Live before making a bomb threat and allegedly handing out the cash to strangers on Miami Beach's Shore Drive.

At about 5 p.m. a user posted a series of three videos to Facebook, the first of which appears to show a man in a suit inside a bank, according to ABC affiliate WPLG.

The first video shows the man in the suit receiving what appears to be a pink envelope.

The next two videos show two men inside a car, with one of them claiming the other has a bomb.

Witnesses on Shore Drive told WPLG the man in the suit got on top of the car and started handing out the money to strangers.

"We saw a guy standing on a car throwing money out to people," one witness said. "He handed out all the money, threw the bag down and said 'By the way I just robbed a bank.'"

The man then tried to call law enforcement on himself, according to witnesses.

The two men were detained by officials while crews cleared the area to investigate the car, according to the Miami Police Department.

Family and friends of one of the men told WPLG he is a driver for a ride share service and was forced by the other man to go along.

Parts of Shore Drive were shut down while a bomb squad searched the car and secured the area.

The FBI, U.S. Homeland Security and Miami Beach police are investigating the case.

closing statments for dylan roof's trial begin today

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The 10 women and two men recommended the death penalty for all 18 counts that carried that as a possible sentence.

Roof will become the first federal hate crime defendant to be sentenced to death, a Justice Department spokesman said.

Judge Richard Gergel will formally sentence Roof on Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. ET. Roof, who represented himself during the penalty phase, told Gergel he wanted to file a motion for new lawyers. Gergel said Roof can argue that on Wednesday but he is not inclined to let that happen.

A group of defense attorneys and others who worked on Roof's behalf issued a statement, saying the death penalty decision means the case will not be over for a "very long time."

"We are sorry that, despite our best efforts, the legal proceedings have shed so little light on the reasons for this tragedy," the statement said.

The jurors did not look at Roof when they came in with the verdict. Several looked in the direction of the victims' families.

It was very quiet in the courtroom. There was no sound coming from the many family members.

Roof, who was facing away from the media, did not appear to show any reaction to the verdict.

Some of the people in the gallery were dabbing their eyes. Several relatives of those killed gently put their arms around each other.

"Today we had justice for my sister (Cynthia Hurd)," Melvin Graham told reporters. "This is a very hollow victory, because my sister is still gone. I wish that this verdict could have brought her back. But what it can do is just send a message to those who feel the way he feels that this community will not tolerate it."

Graham said he just wants mass killings to stop.

"Every time I hear about a shooting I want to cry," he said. "We have to stand together."

Roof's family said they will always love him.

"We will struggle as long as we live to understand why he committed this horrible attack, which caused so much pain to so many good people," they added. "We wish to express the grief we feel for the victims of his crimes, and our sympathy to the many families he has hurt."

The judge, who is bound by the jury's decision, complimented the jurors and said they did a magnificent job.

Prosecutors called the decision a result of hard work and said it was a "fair and just process."

US Attorney Beth Drake said Roof failed at his attempt to split people by race.

"Contrary to Roof's desire to sow the seeds of hate, his acts did not tear this community apart," she said. "Instead of agitating racial tensions as he had hoped, Roof's deadly attack inside Mother Emanuel became an attack on all of us, and the community stood in solidarity."

Roof: I had no choice

Before the jury deliberated his fate for three hours, Roof told the jury he still feels he had no choice but to kill nine people at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in June 2015.

"In my confession to the FBI I told them that I had to do it, and obviously that's not really true. ... I didn't have to do anything," Roof said as he made his own five-minute closing argument in the penalty phase of his federal trial. "But what I meant when I said that was, I felt like I had to do it, and I still do feel like I had to do it."

But he also had suggested he'd like to be spared.

"From what I've been told, I have a right to ask you to give me a life sentence, but I'm not sure what good that will do anyway," Roof said. "But what I will say is only one of you has to disagree with the other jurors."

His statement followed a prosecutor's impassioned, two-hour argumentin a Charleston courtroom urging jurorsto give Roof the death penalty instead of their other option, life in prison without possibility of parole.

Jurors convicted Roof, an avowed white supremacist, last month of federal murder and hate crimes charges.

The prosecution and defense rested in the penalty phase on Monday, bringing to a close days of heartbreaking testimony from family and friends of victims who were killed.

Prosecutors argued that he's a calculating killer who deserves the death penalty because of his motive, his lack of remorse and the shooting's impact on the victims' families.

Prosecutor reminds jurors of gruesome details

In his closing argument Tuesday morning, Assistant US Attorney Jay Richardson described the lives of all nine victims, cited Roof's "racist hatred" and reminded the jurors of the testimony and evidence that convicted him:

* Roof was at the church three previous times to scout his target.

* He sat with the group for 40 minutes before shooting.

* He pulled the trigger "more than 75 times ... reloading seven times" as he stood over his victims, shooting them repeatedly.

* He "showed not one ounce of remorse."

* Richardson referred to what Roof had told investigators in a recorded interview: That "somebody had to do it," in part because "black people are killing white people every day."

"Those are the words of an extraordinary racist who believed it was justified," Richardson said.

Roof's jailhouse journal

Earlier in the penalty phase, prosecutors presented evidence that included chilling writings from a jailhouse journal Roof wrote after the attack.

"I would like to make it crystal clear. I do not regret what I did," Roof wrote in the journal. "I am not sorry. I have not shed a tear for the innocent people I killed."

Friends and relatives of victims slain in the shooting gave emotional testimony in court before Tuesday, some of them sobbing on the stand.

As they made their case, prosecutors played haunting recordings of the victims preaching, praying and singing.

Facing the death penalty

Roof is also set to be tried on state murder charges, and prosecutors have said they'll also seek the death penalty in that case.

Serial killer Gary Lee Sampson was the last person to get a federal death sentence. He's one of 63 federal prisoners, including Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, awaiting execution, according to the Death Penalty Information Center, a Washington-based nonprofit.

Only three federal inmates have been executed in the United States since the federal death penalty was reinstated in 1988 after a 16-year moratorium:

* Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh on June 11, 2001, six years after he killed 168 people.

* Juan Raul Garza on June 19, 2001, eight years after he was convicted of running a marijuana drug ring and killing three people.

* Louis Jones on March 18, 2003, eight years after he kidnapped and murdered 19-year-old Army Pvt. Tracie McBride.

clemson wins first national title in 35 years

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
And this time, it was a happy ending for Clemson.

The Crimson Tide couldn't hold off two-time Heisman finalist Deshaun Watson, and the second-ranked Tigers upset No. 1 Alabama in a College Football Playoff title game rematch 35-31early Tuesday at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

With one second remaining, Watson found sophomore wide receiver Hunter Renfrow for the game-winning score, a 2-yard touchdown pass. It capped a fourth quarter in which the Tigers scored 21 points.

"I knew before I even snapped the ball it was going to be a touchdown," Watson said. "All I had to do was just get the ball to him. I slowed down the moment, everyone made their blocks and did their part, and I did my part, and we pulled it out."

It's Clemson's first national title since the 1981 season and the first time it has beaten a top-ranked team.

"I don't know if I'm going to be able to stomach watching that one any time soon," Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said. "That has to be one of the greatest games of all time, just absolutely incredible, to have to take the field and go down the field to win the game, that's what it's made of. That's what I told them when it was over. This is what it's all about right here, boys."

In last year's title game, which Alabama won 45-40, Watson gave the Crimson Tide trouble, completing 30 of 47 passes for 405 yards and four touchdowns while rushing for 73 yards.

On Monday night, the Clemson junior quarterback got off to a slow start but heated up as the game went along, finishing with 36-of-56 passing for 420 yards and three touchdowns and had 43 yards rushing with one score. He was named the game's MVP.

Final Clemson game for Watson

Following the win, Watson confirmed this was his final game playing for Clemson (14-1) and that he would enter the upcoming NFL draft.

"It was a tough decision," Watson, who graduated in December, said. "You know, Clemson is a special place. I've enjoyed every single moment since I came in, in January of 2014. Three years kind of flew by. But I think it's my time to go, just kind of end it with a bang, and I felt like Coach Swinney knew my time was up.

"I've enjoyed, like I said, the three years, and I just wanted to sign my name and end it with an exclamation point, and I think I did that. Moments like this I'll never forget. Clemson was the best three years of my life, and credit me as the person I am today. Through my faith, as a citizen, as a football player, as a student, I've learned so much, and it's just been special."

It's also special for Swinney, winning his first title as a head coach. A walk-on wide receiver at Alabama, Swinney was on the 1992 Crimson Tide team that won the national title. He joins Bud Wilkinson as the only person to play on and serve as head coach of a team that won an Associated Press national championship.

Wilkinson played on Minnesota's title-winning team in 1936 and was head coach of Oklahoma teams of 1951, 1955 and 1956 that won titles.

"I can't tell you how humbled I am, blessed and so thankful to be a part of helping get Clemson back on top, this moment, 35 years, and doing something that a lot of people didn't think we could do," Swinney said. "I'm just so thankful for that opportunity, and I'm excited about continuing to help Clemson be the best."

Alabama (14-1), which had the chance to go wire-to-wire as No. 1, lost its first game since September 19, 2015, ending a 26-game win streak.

"I don't think one game defines who you are, you know, as a person, as a competitor, or as a team and certainly not define what this group of young men was able to accomplish this year," Alabama head coach Nick Saban said. "It was a hard-fought game out there today, very disappointing to lose a game like that, and I wish there was something else that I could do for the players to help them be more successful in the game."

The loss kept Saban from winning a sixth title, which would have tied him with another Alabama legend: Bear Bryant.

A dramatic comeback

It didn't start well for the Tigers.

Alabama sophomore running back Bo Scarbrough, who rushed for 180 yards and two touchdowns in the Peach Bowl semifinal, continued his dominance in Tampa before leaving with an injury, running for 93 yards and two first-half touchdowns. That gave the Crimson Tide at 14-0 lead.

A 24-yard pass from Watson to Renfrow cut the score to 17-14 with 7:10 left in the third quarter. But later in the period Jalen Hurts, who had been quiet for much of this game, stepped up. The freshman quarterback connected with senior tight end O.J. Howard for a 68-yard touchdown to give Alabama a 24-14 lead.

Hurts passed for 131 yards with a touchdown, going 13-of-31.

Then came a frentic fourth quarter. With 4:38 remaining, Clemson regained the lead at 28-24 with a 1-yard touchdown run from junior running back Wayne Gallman. Hurts counterpunched, scoring on a 30-yard run to make it 31-28 with 2:07 left and giving him 63 rushing yards on the night.

That set up the final drive from Watson. In that final quarter, he was 12-of-18 for 130 yards.

"I just smiled right when they scored," Watson said. "I had seen the two minutes and one second on the clock, and I just smiled and I just knew, I just told my guys, 'Hey, let's be legendary, let's go be great.' I told myself they left too much time on the clock. Last year they ran out the time, but this time they left us a little bit too much."

Alabama entered the night leading the country in total defense, rushing defense, scoring defense and defensive touchdowns. But it didn't look like it in the final quarter. Thanks in huge part to Watson, Clemson finished with 511 total yards of offense.

"I knew he was going to come back strong in the second half," Alabama senior defensive lineman Jonathan Allen said of Watson. "They made the adjustments they needed to and we didn't."

The electric shuttle from Local Motors named "Olli" is on trial in the Washington area, and the company is planning a commercial launch in 2017 in several cities including Las Vegas and Miami.

Olli can carry 12 passengers, and it is initially expected to provide public transport in closed network locations such as campuses and airports, before branching into new functions and locations.

The partly 3D printed vehicle is the first to integrate IBM's "Watson" cognitive computing technology, allowing passengers to interact with it and ask questions, such as what route the bus is taking and what attractions their destination offers.

"Many companies are working on autonomous vehicles," says Local Motors CEO Jay Rogers. "We hope to be among the first to make it real."

Eyes on the road

Olli makes use of lidar, a laser-sensing system also employed by Google's driverless cars, to read the road.

The bus also features supplementary sensors for remote supervision, speed monitoring and safety precautions. This includes what Rogers terms a "got to stop" haptic sensor on the front that automatically halts the bus if it makes contact with anything.

The vehicles have avoided accidents during trials, despite facing additional stress tests from pranksters.

"People want to trick them," says Rogers. "It sounds farcical but it really isn't when you think about what a bike messenger might do with a robot on the road. They might hit the haptic sensor to make the vehicle stop."

"A normal bus driver might yell an expletive out of the window, but should a robot do that?"

Building a relationship

Olli's creators hope that their unique vocal interface will help break down the barriers and help people to accept robots.

"It is about developing relationships between passenger and machine in the most natural way possible," says Bret Greenstein, Vice President of IBM Watson Internet of Things. "You have to know it understands you."

IBM are keen to develop a winning personality for their interface, projecting warmth and confidence. The system is also being trained to recognize novel aspects such as regional accents and obscure place names.

"Nobody likes to repeat themselves," says Greenstein. "The machine has to understand you the way you want to talk, not make you train yourself to the machine."

Looking ahead, Local Motors hope to integrate Watson with passengers' social media profiles to offer more personalized interaction.

Sustainable growth

The use of 3-D printed material enables rapid mass production.

The first Olli was created in just two weeks, and new micro-factories are to be launched across the country.

Local Motors already offers a range of cutting-edge vehicles, including a 3D printed car (the "Strati"), which will also be given autonomous capability and manufactured in large numbers.

"Our goal is to have 20 micro-factories by 2020, to make up to 60,000 units a year," says Rogers.

The manufacturing process also gives Olli an environmental edge over competitors.

Rogers claims that manufacturing the 3-D printed materials uses 50% less carbon than traditional metals. The parts can be broken down and reused.

Olli runs on electricity, with wireless recharging, and it is hoped widespread adoption could significantly impact pollution in urban areas.

Racing ahead

Rogers is thinking far beyond public transport to providing a variety of cargo, commercial and even emergency services.

He speculates that Olli could "deliver medicine, provide advertising on demand, or roll up en masse in an area where there is an active shooter and block people so they can get out of harm's way."

New functions will lead to new designs, including aerial and consumer vehicles.

Local Motors is forming partnerships with major companies such as Airbus, according to Rogers, and its designs are generating demand from cities around the world.

The CEO is bullish that his company can outpace higher-profile competitors in the race to autonomy.

"This is our moment," he says. "I can say with great certainty the mass manufacturing companies of the world will not be the first to introduce this kind of technology to the road."

BRad Pitt and Angelina Jolie say that they will make all court documents final, including divorce

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The estranged couple has agreed to seal all court documents pertaining to their divorce in order to protect their six children.

"The parties and their counsel have signed agreements to preserve the privacy rights of their children and family by keeping all court documents confidential and engaging a private judge to make any necessary legal decisions and to facilitate the expeditious resolution of any remaining issues. The parents are committed to act as a united front to effectuate recovery and reunification," the couple said in a statement obtained by CNN.

Jolie and Pitt have been in the midst of a public divorce and custody battle over their children. Jolie is seeking physical custody, while Pitt has requested joint custody.

The statement comes one month after Pitt was denied an emergency hearing in which he was attempting to have a judge seal all of their documents and proceedings to protect the privacy of their children and "avoid subjecting them to the negative impact of the intense media coverage and worldwide public scrutiny."

At the time, Jolie's camp claimed Pitt's request was an effort to "shield himself, rather than the minor children, from public view," according to documents.

Most recently, Pitt filed additional court documents in which he said his wife was "determined to ignore even agreed upon standards relating to the children's best interest." He also said Jolie had "no self-regulating mechanism" when it came to protecting their kids.

Pitt and Jolie are currently following an informal custody arrangement in which Jolie retains physical custody and Pitt is given supervised visits.
