Police are looking for the passengers of an SUV involved in a drive-by shooting in Kansas City, MO last week, says a Daily Mail report.

In the video, a black SUV pulls up next to a black sedan at a traffic light and opens fire in broad daylight.

Per KSHB, the black sedan was hit, but the mother and with her two sons, five and nine, were unharmed.

"[One son] told me "Mommy we're going to die! Mommy move!' and I couldn't move because we had a car ahead of us," the unidentified mother recalled to KSHB.

MTV flips logo to stand with women

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
MTV debuted a bold look for International Women's Day.

The music and culture network flipped its logo upside down -- turning the "M" into a "W" -- on TV and online Wednesday.

"WTV" also announced that employees running its social media accounts would go on "strike" for the day as a nod to protests expected worldwide.

A national strike movement called A Day Without a Woman has been organized to coincide with International Women's Day. The movement underscores wage disparity, discrimination and harassment.

"A woman runs this account & she's striking today," read one tweet from MTV.

The protests on Wednesday were spurred in part by President Trump's victory.

Women and allies "will act together for equity, justice and the human rights of women and all gender-oppressed people," organizers of the movement wrote on their website.

Trump signs travel ban

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
President Donald Trump on Monday signed a reworked version of his controversial travel ban Monday, aiming to withstand court challenges while still barring new visas for citizens from six Muslim-majority countries and temporarily shutting down America's refugee program.

The revised travel order leaves Iraq off the list of banned countries but still affects would-be visitors and immigrants from Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya.

Trump privately signed the new order Monday while Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Attorney General Jeff Sessions formally unveiled the new edict. They did not take questions from reporters.

The low-key rollout was in contrast to the first version of the order, which Trump signed a week after his inauguration in a high-profile ceremony at the Pentagon's Hall of Heroes as Secretary of Defense James Mattis stood by.

In addition, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was not scheduled to hold an on-camera briefing Monday, leading to the appearance that the president was distancing himself from the order, which was a signature issue during his campaign and the first days of his presidency. The order also risks being overshadowed by unsubstantiated accusations Trump made over the weekend that former President Barack Obama had ordered the wiretapping of his phone during the campaign.

Trump officials say that even with the changes, the goal of the new order hasn't changed: keeping would-be terrorists out of the United States while the government reviews the vetting system for refugees and visa applicants from certain parts of the world.

Tillerson described the new order Monday morning as "a vital measure for strengthening our national security."

The original travel ban caused chaos at airports around the country as Homeland Security officials scrambled to interpret how it was to be implemented and travelers were detained before being sent back overseas or blocked from getting on airplanes abroad. The order quickly became the subject of several legal challenges and was put on hold last month by a federal judge in Washington state. The original order was rescinded Monday.

Kelly said Congress and others have been briefed about the order, which won't take effect until March 16, and there should be no surprises. He called the effort "prospective" and reiterated that it applies only to refugees who aren't already on their way to the United States and people seeking new visas.

The White House dropped Iraq from the list of targeted countries following pressure from the Pentagon and State Department, which noted Iraq's role in fighting the Islamic State group. An Iraqi spokesman said the change marks a "positive step" and shows the countries have a "real partnership."

Syrians are also no longer subjected to an indefinite ban, despite Trump's insistence as a candidate that Syrians posed a serious security threat.

Sessions said Monday that national security is the driving force behind the ban and pointed to the cases of 300 people he said entered the United States as refugees who are now being investigated by the FBI as part of terrorism-related cases. He provided no details.

A senior Justice Department official earlier in the day cited the same statistic to reporters in a background call. The official refused repeated requests to provide any details about those cases, including the nationalities of the 300, or to say how long they have been in the United States.

The new order does not address concerns raised in a Homeland Security intelligence analysis obtained last month by The Associated Press that concluded there was insufficient evidence that citizens of the originally banned countries posed a terror threat to the U.S. The administration has played down the significance of that report.

According to a fact sheet distributed by the administration, Homeland Security officials will do a country-by-country review of the information that nations provide to the U.S. for visa and immigration decisions. Those countries will then have 50 days to comply with U.S. requests to update or improve that information.

The suspension of the refugee program is for 120 days, though refugees already formally scheduled for travel by the State Department will be allowed entry. When the suspension is lifted, the number of refugees allowed into the U.S. will be capped at 50,000 for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30.

The new version also removes language that would give priority to religious minorities. Critics had accused the administration of adding such language to help Christians get into the U.S. while excluding Muslims.

"I think people will see six or seven major points about this executive order that do clarify who was covered," said presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway in an interview with Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends."

Legal experts say the new order addresses some of the constitutional concerns raised by a federal appeals court about the initial ban, but leaves room for more legal challenges.

"It's much clearer about how it doesn't apply to groups of immigrants with more clearly established constitutional rights," said University of Texas law professor Stephen Vladeck. "That's a really important step."

Removing language that would give priority to religious minorities helps address concerns that the initial ban was discriminatory, but its continued focus on Muslim-majority countries leaves the appearance that the order is a "Muslim ban," Vladeck said.

"There's still going to be plenty of work for the courts to do," he said.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The judge in one of the highest profile trials in recent history has made a shocking admission.

Judge Belvin Perry presided over the Casey Anthony murder trial six years ago. Anthony was found not guilty in the death of her two-year-old daughter Caylee.

But Perry, who is now retired, told Orlando TV station WFTV that he thinks she did kill her daughter.

"Based upon the evidence, the most logical thing that happened was that she tried to knock her daughter out by the use of chloroform and gave her too much chloroform which caused her daughter to die," Perry said. "Chloroform was used as anesthesia back in the day before there was real anesthesia to render someone unconscious."

"I don't think she ever anticipated the result," he said. "The only person that actually knows what happened is Casey Anthony."

Perry said that computer searches for chloroform and the volume of the chemical found in Casey's trunk convinced him, but he admitted his thoughts are only a theory.

Cavemen whacked one another in the nuts for cheap yuks, and Medieval fools jabbered in a flop sweat to keep from being beheaded. But the idea of getting onstage in front of strangers, just one person and a spotlight, and talking until they crack up - that's new. Stand-up comedy grew out of minstrelsy and then vaudeville, which only makes it about a century old, tops. Some of the best practitioners of the form are still alive ... or at the very least, haven't been in the ground all that long. And even as the medium has morphed from one-liner artists to political satirists, from social-taboo tweakers to didja-ever-notice observational humorists, from the club-comic bubble of the 1980s to the the alt-comedy boom of the 1990s, it usually boils down to a fairly simple set-up. A man or woman walk into a bar (or a club, or a theater, or an arena ...) . They eventually exit stage left and leave a lot of laughing folks in their wake.

So you'd think assembling a list of the 50 greatest stand-ups of all time would be easy right? Riiiight. Ha!

In coming up with our version of a comic canon, we weighed artistic merit, technical proficiency and sense of timing, quality of their written material, their delivery and degree of influence - and often, their sense of what makes something, anything, funny. No disrespect to the foundational figures who shaped the earliest incarnations, but this list tiptoes past some of the early craftsmen and focuses on the unique voices who have helped to push stand-up forward in more recent days. These 50 stand-ups best embody what we have come to expect of our modern-day comedians: Someone who can wake us up to the weird, wonderful possibilities of the world around us, impel us to think differently about our own lives - and most of all, make us howl like blithering idiots.

A journalist throws up on a plane after he pulls out the ring to propose to his girlfriend

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
All marriage proposals don't go as planned, but one California journalist couldn't have suspected he'd throw up right after he pulled out the ring.

Darrell Hamilton Jr. said he had been planning to propose to his girlfriend of two years, Rheanna Lopez, for a year.

"Rheanna just really likes outdoors and nature and I thought it'd be a cool idea to give her a nice view," Hamilton, a video editor for ABC Fresno station KFSN-TV, recalled.

Lopez, 35, had only been in a commercial plane once before so Hamilton, 26, knew she'd be totally thrilled and surprised with a proposal during a private plane ride.

The morning of Feb. 11, Hamilton woke up and created a sign that read, "Marry Me?" Hamilton told ABC News Sunday. "It took two hours to make the sign."

The Clovis, California, man then took that sign to his cousin's house in Reedley, California, about 40 minutes away.

Darrell Hamilton Jr.

After spending the morning photographing the Reedley Blossom Trail, Hamilton drove to a nearby airport. He didn't tell Lopez what was in store.

"She said, 'Stop! What are you doing? This is crazy,'" Hamilton recalled of the big surprise. "She realized that I knew the pilot when we got out of the car and he said my name."

The two then enjoyed a flight in a private plane, Lopez's second time in flight. Still, with Hamilton trying to take pictures and then locate the sign he had left at his cousin's house to queue the proposal he began feeling motion sickness.

"It had nothing to do with being nervous," Hamilton said. "I got sick from being inside the plane. It was a really small plane and the pilot was helping me look for the sign I made her. The tilting kind of messed with my stomach."

Darrell Hamilton Jr.

"I couldn't hold it much longer," he continued. "I just tapped her on the shoulder. I didn't even ask her. I just gave her the ring."

That's when Hamilton threw up right there inside the plane to a shocked Lopez.

She did eventually say yes. The two then air-kissed each other ... for obvious reasons.

They don't have wedding plans yet, but Hamilton is looking forward to their life together.

He added that he's anticipating "being a role model for my family."

"I have a son from a previous relationship and me and Rheanna don't have any kids together," Hamilton continued, "so maybe starting a family with a child of our own and being a role model for the both of them, and for her."

Tombstones damaged at New York cemetery not vandalism, say police

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A New York City Police Department hate-crime task force had been investigating whether the damage to the granite and marble tombstones at Washington Cemetery in Brooklyn was intentional.

The task force concluded its investigation on Sunday, finding that the cause was environmental, which can include soil erosion and lack of maintenance.

News of the disturbed tombstones cameamid a series of bomb threats and vandalism targeting Jewish institutions, including cemeteries, schools and community centers.

Last week, at least a dozen headstones were toppled at a Jewish cemetery at the Waad Hakolel Cemetery in Rochester, New York, following similar incidents in St. Louis and Philadelphia. In late February, at least 170 headstones were damaged at a Jewish cemetery in St. Louis.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo will launch a statewide investigation of the vandalism at the Waad Hakolel Cemetery in Rochester, New York, and the overall rise in crimes targeting Jewish organizations throughout the state.

Members of the Muslim community in St. Louis have started a fundraising effort to help pay for the toppled headstones to be repaired.

Since the start of the year, four mosques have gone up in flames, according to the Council of American-Islamic Relations, which documented 139 incidents of "damage/destruction/vandalism" at mosques in 2016 -- the most since record-keeping started in 2009.

Newly released court documents on the triple shooting at an Olathe bar and restaurant show that the accused shooter asked his victims a question before opening fire.

According to the affidavit released by Johnson County, accused shooter Adam Purinton allegedly asked the victim if their "status was legal" in the moments leading up to the shootings. That was according to one of the surviving victims, Alok Madasani, who spoke with a detective at the hospital after the shootings.

Srinivas Kuchibhotla was shot 3 times and later died at an area hospital. Ian Grillot of Olathe was also shot and survived.

The FBI is investigating whether the shootings were hate crimes.

The shootings happened a few weeks ago at Austin's Bar and Grill.

Foster got into a heated altercation with a hospital worker on Friday, multiple sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter, and he was sent home prior to team interviews Friday night and testing Saturday.A league source said there was a "miscommunication" that allowed the argument between Foster and a hospital worker to escalate.

Former Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster has sent a letter to NFL teams apologizing for the incident that led to his dismissal from the scouting combine this week, according to NFL Network and confirmed by ESPN.

Foster got into a heated altercation with a hospital worker on Friday, multiple sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter, and he was sent home prior to team interviews Friday night and testing Saturday.

A league source said there was a "miscommunication" that allowed the argument between Foster and a hospital worker to escalate.

Foster had been waiting for an extended period of time for what the NFL calls his "pre-exam" when he grew increasingly impatient and began questioning a hospital worker.

The hospital worker did not take kindly to Foster's words, and eventually the two were face-to-face in a heated exchange.

According to AL.com, Foster had said "nothing happened" in a live Instagram video posted Saturday.

Foster was Alabama's leading tackler last season and a unanimous first-team All-American. He also won the Butkus Award, given to the nation's best linebacker.

He is recovering from recent rotator cuff surgery in his right shoulder and was not scheduled to participate in drills at the combine. In his video chat, Foster said he'd be out of the sling in a week.

"Everything ain't perfect," he said. "I'm good. I just have to think. I just had to sit back and relax and think about what I really want."

Foster said he's making himself available to any team that wants to speak with him on Tuesday, the day before Alabama's pro day in Tuscaloosa.

Foster's projected recovery timetable was about four months, a source told ESPN's Adam Caplan, which is well ahead of the start of training camps in July.

The US defence department is investigating reports that a number of marines shared naked and semi-naked photographs of female colleagues on Facebook.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The US defence department is investigating reports that a number of marines shared naked and semi-naked photographs of female colleagues on Facebook.

The pictures were posted within a members-only group called Marines United, and were accompanied by vulgar and highly aggressive sexual messages.

The group has now been closed down.

"[This] is a direct attack on our ethos and legacy," said top enlisted marine Sgt Maj Ronald Green.

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) has also launched an investigation.

"This behaviour hurts fellow marines, family members, and civilians," said Sgt Maj Green in a written statement.

The Facebook group included around 30,000 active and retired male marines.

Its activity was uncovered by The War Horse, a non-profit news organisation run by marine veteran Thomas Brennan.

In January, a Marines United member posted a link to a shared folder, hosted on Google Drive, which contained photos of numerous female marines in various states of undress, according to The War Horse report.

Members encouraged each other to find and upload more images, it said. They also identified the women by their names, ranks and units.

The Google Drive has been deleted, and Facebook and Google have closed social media accounts of those posting the images, following a Marine Corps' request.

The photo sharing began in the same month that the first US Marine infantry unit began receiving women.

Some of the photos are believed to have been taken surreptitiously. Other images are thought to have been consensual, but posted without permission.

The War Horse spoke with five of the women in the photographs. Two of them said they believed former partners might have leaked the images. Some said they worried their own accounts might have been hacked.

Lance Corporal Marisa Woytek told The Washington Post images were taken from her Instagram account and posted to Marines United page without her consent.

She said someone alerted her to the usage, and she found comments alluding to sexual assault and rape.

"Even if I could, I'm never reenlisting," Ms Woytek said. "Being sexually harassed online ruined the Marine Corps for me, and the experience."

Marine Corps spokesman Capt Ryan E Alvis said, "We are thankful that Thomas Brennan, a Marine veteran, notified the Marine Corps and NCIS about what he witnessed on the Marines United page. It allowed us to take immediate action to have the explicit photos taken down and to prepare to support potential victims."

A relative of a French family of four who have been missing since mid-February has admitted killing them, media reports say. Pascal Troadec's former brother-in-law, named as Hubert C, reportedly told investigators he had killed them in a row about the inheritance of gold bars.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A relative of a French family of four who have been missing since mid-February has admitted killing them, a prosecutor said.

Pascal Troadec's former brother-in-law, named as Hubert Caouissin, told investigators he had killed them in a row about the inheritance of gold bars.

He battered them to death with a crowbar at their home in Nantes, local prosecutor Pierre Sennes said.

Mr Caouissin will be charged and jailed on Monday.

He was arrested in Brest on Sunday along with Mr Troadec's sister Lydie Troadec, his ex-wife.
Mystery of vanished French family
Pascal and Brigitte, both aged 49, their son Sebastien, 21, and daughter Charlotte, 18, were last seen on 16 February.

In a press conference, Nantes prosecutor Pierre Sennes said Mr Caouissin had admitted using a crowbar to bludgeon the family.

On 16 February, he spied on the Troadecs' home, using a stethoscope to listen through the windows, Mr Sennes said.

That night he broke into the house, apparently with the aim of stealing a key. The family awoke when they heard a noise, and a fight broke out between the intruder and Pascal Troadec.

Mr Caouissin killed Mr Troadec first, and then the rest of the family.

The prosecutor said he dismembered the bodies, burying some parts and burning others.

Police are now scouring a piece of countryside near the city of Brest in search of remains.

Search teams with sniffer dogs have been combing the area, and divers have also taken part because the zone lies between two estuaries.

According to the prosecutor, Mr Caouissin has no previous criminal record. He is now facing life imprisonment.

The role of Lydie Troadec is not yet clear, but she is accused of helping to clean the vehicle used to dispose of the bodies. Prosecutors have ordered her detention.

'The gold is a myth'

The inheritance argument reportedly centres on gold bars found during works at a building in Brest owned by Mr Troadec's father, who died several years ago.

However Mr Caouissin's mother has told journalists that the existence of the gold bars was a "myth".

Mr Caouissin, 46, had already been interviewed by investigators at the beginning of their inquiry into the family's disappearance, but he told them he had not seen the Troadecs for several years, French media reported.

However his DNA was reportedly later found on a glass left in a sink in their home and also on Sebastien's car, which was found last Thursday in the port of St Nazaire.

A day earlier, a social security card and a pair of trousers belonging to Charlotte had been found by a jogger in a forested area near Brest.

In a search of the family's house last week, investigators found bloodstains matching the DNA of the parents and Sebastien, but not of the daughter.

Traces of blood were found on Sebastien's phone, on Brigitte's watch and under the stairs, and it appeared that someone had tried to wipe them away.

Explicit photos of female Marines posted online; Navy investigating

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A private Facebook group called "Marines United" contained a link to a Google Drive folder, where the photos were being stored, a US defense official told CNN. Members on the site solicited others to submit photos of women without their knowledge. The cloud storage folder has been removed at the request of the military, the official said. It was not clear to the Defense Department how many current and former Marines may be involved in potential wrongdoing. A former Marine originally brought the matter to the attention of the Marine Corps last month.

"We are thankful that Thomas Brennan, a Marine veteran, notified the Marine Corps and NCIS about what he witnessed on the 'Marines United' page. It allowed us to take immediate action to have the explicit photos taken down and to prepare to support potential victims. We are exploring what actions should be taken to best address this form of harassment in the future," Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Ryan Alvis said in a statement.

Brennan founded The War Horse, a military news site investigating defense and veterans issues, which first reported the allegations on a separate site, Reveal, run by the Center for Investigative Reporting.

Because of the ongoing investigation, officials would not comment specifically on the case. However, Alvis added that "the Marine Corps is deeply concerned about allegations regarding the derogatory online comments and sharing of salacious photographs in a closed website. This behavior destroys morale, erodes trust, and degrades the individual."

Gen. Robert B. Neller, commandant of the Marine Corps, also declined to comment on the specifics of the case. "For anyone to target one of our Marines, online or otherwise, in an inappropriate manner, is distasteful and shows an absence of respect," Neller said. "I expect every Marine to demonstrate the highest integrity and loyalty to fellow Marines at all times, on duty, off-duty, and online."

Sgt. Maj. Ronald Green, the Corps' highest-ranking noncommissioned officer, said these allegations go against the core values of the Marine Corps. "There is no place for this type of demeaning or degrading behavior in our Corps -- this includes our actions online," Green said. "We need to be brutally honest with ourselves and each other. This behavior hurts fellow Marines, family members, and civilians. It is a direct attack on our ethos and legacy."

"Ultimately we must take a look in the mirror and decide whether we are part of the problem or the solution," Green said.
