An error in Microsoft Word let hackers have access to files for month before the tech giant eventually fixed the problem.

According to a Reuters report, security researcher Ryan Hanson spotted the bug in July 2016. Microsoft was told about it in October and the issue was finally patched earlier in April, a full six months after it was first notified.

Microsoft could not be reached for comment for this story.

While Microsoft was investigating the flaw, hackers were able to manipulate the software on unknown Russian speakers, taking control of their computers.

Teacher receives chilling death threats ordering her to pass students on physics

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A physics teacher at a Buenos Aires high school said she received death threats, including a letter with a 9 mm bullet, warning her to give the entire class a passing grade.

"The exam has to be extremely easy. When the students copy [from one another], I need you to look the other way and distract the rest of the teachers," read the menacing letter, addressed to 50-year-old teacher María Marta Adam.

Over the weekend the woman also had her home vandalized with a graffiti that read "Remember Adam. The exam is on 2/21."

Adam said she is in total disbelief and had never experienced anything similar in her 30-year career.

"I'm very sad, it's like I'm watching a movie of which I don't feel like a character," she told La Nacion. "The test is going to be administered but not by me. It would be impossible for me to do it with all the emotional load I am carrying."

She said she has no clue who is behind the threat.
TOPLESS PROTESTERS IN ARGENTINA CRITICIZE MACHO ATTITUDES
Adam is a junior year teacher at San Cayetano high school, a private Catholic school located in La Plata. She has been assigned police protection since she received the letter last week.

"In 30 years as a teacher I had never experienced something like this, and it happened just as I am about to retire," she said. "I don't know what to make of it."

A dozen students were expected to take the junior year physics test on Tuesday.

The threat note starts off saying: "Ms. Adam, I inform you that I need to pass [the subject of] physics on 2/21 yes or yes, and I am counting on you. A friend is going to come with me to school wearing a borrowed uniform", news outlet DyN reported.

"When he gets my signal he's going to shoot you, [then] he's going to change into his clothes and escape. He's going to be pointing at you and he's going to be looking at you through the window. All this can be avoided if you pass everybody, except for those who leave their test blank."

In a section of the note that Adam considered "the most serious," the student wrote, "I have been to your house several times, I know what time you arrive and what time you leave.

"I left you a reminder in the schoolyard. I have plenty more bullets, for you and all those who live in your house. If you follow everything to the letter, it will go well," the student wrote.

The actress spoke with the BBC about her new movie, "First They Killed My Father," which she directed and produced.

The Netflix original film tells the story of the Cambodian genocide through the eyes of a child.

It's a project that is near and dear to Jolie's heart. She adopted her first child, son Maddox, from Cambodia after visiting and falling in love with the country 17 years ago, Jolie said.

"I'll always be very grateful to this country," Jolie told the BBC. "I don't think I ever could give back as much as this country has given me."

Maddox, 15, was at the center of a reported incident on a flight with his father, Brad Pitt.

Pitt and Jolie split in September. The couple had been together for more than a decade when they married in 2014. They are the parents of six children.

In the BBC interview, Jolie declined to give specifics about what occurred on the plane.

"I don't want to say very much about that except it was a very difficult time," she said. "We are a family and we will always be a family and we will get through this time and hopefully be a stronger family for it."

Pitt was cleared of any claims of child abuse.

Jolie said her situation is not unusual and that many families have weathered divorce.

She's coping by helping her children, she said.

"My focus is my children, our children ... and my focus is finding this way through," she said. "As I said, we are and forever will be a family. I am coping with finding a way through to make sure that this somehow makes us stronger and closer."

"First They Killed My Father" premiered worldwide this weekend in Cambodia.

The Jolie-Pitt children, Maddox; Pax, 13; Zahara, 11; Shiloh, 10; and twins Knox and Vivienne, 8, appeared at the premiere with their mother. Maddox was reportedly involved in the production.

Jolie told the BBC the family is settling into a routine at home.

"Right now, I'm going through a moment when just everybody's in my room," she said. "Two dogs, two hamsters and two children at the moment."

The actress is trying to keep it all flowing.

"It's wonderful," Jolie said. "But, usually, I just wake up trying to figure out who's going to get [the] dog out, who's going to start the pancakes and did anybody brush their teeth."

A 5th grader call the police and asked for help on there homework

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
But an officer in Marion, Ohio, went beyond the call of duty when an elementary school student reached out to the department via Facebook messenger with a request of the sort it had never received before.

Ten-year-old Lena Draper didn't know how to go about answering this question: (8+29) x 15.

So, she turned to Marion PD for answers to her computational conundrum.

"I'm having trouble with my homework. Could you help me?" she asked.

A fearless Lt. B.J. Gruber, 42, didn't back down from the task -- despite being several decades removed from 5th grade math class.

He replied back, telling the girl to "do the numbers in the parenthesis first."

Gruber, speaking to CNN on Tuesday, said the girl's request "really didn't strike me as that incredibly odd."

He added though that it was first time the department had ever received a homework question on their Messenger account.

Seeing as the police were up to their task to protect, serve and calculate, Lena didn't stop with just one math problem.

She next wanted to know what to with: (90+27) + (29+15) x 2.

Gruber replied again, saying "take the answer from the first parenthesis plus the answer from the second parenthesis and multiply that answer times two. Work left to right doing the work inside [the] parenthesis first."

A slight mistake

Lena's mom Molly Draper posted the screenshots of the exchange on Facebook. And a friend of hers pointed out something of a mathematical misdemeanor: the order of operation in the officer's reply was actually incorrect.

"Buuuut after doing the parentheses, she should actually multiply the (29+15) times 2, then add the (90+27)," wrote Amy Pelfrey. "Glad they were willing to help! But multiplication before addition!"

Gruber admits he's "more of a history, civics and social studies kind of guy" and laughed about math not being his best subject in school.

He said he's just happy that the mistake was caught before Draper turned in her homework at school.

Despite the unique request from the young student, Gruber -- who described himself as someone with the "passion for really telling the story about the human beings that do our job" -- says he's happy to be able to engage and build relationships with people, and especially kids, in the community.

And Lena's mom is happy about that.

"I thought it was wonderful they took the time to work through it with her, right or wrong!" Molly Draper told CNN. "It shows a commitment to building relationships and trust with the community."

And that's always a plus!

Just a few days after President Trump’s remarks on Saturday about what he said happened "last night in Sweden," unrest erupted in Rinkeby, a Stockholm suburb that is home to a large immigrant population.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Just a few days after President Trump 's remarks on Saturday about what he said happened "last night in Sweden," unrest erupted in Rinkeby, a Stockholm suburb that is home to a large immigrant population. Rioters there set cars on fire and threw rocks at police Monday night after one person was arrested, local police said. Police fired guns but did not hit anyone.

When Trump made his comments on Sweden at a rally in Florida, he also referred to Paris, Nice and Brussels - three cities that have seen terrorist attacks in recent years. So it caused some bewilderment when he added, "You look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden - who would believe this?"

Sweden hasn't had any terrorist attacks since it took in a recent wave of asylum seekers. The most recent terrorist attack happened in 2010, when two bombs exploded in Stockholm, killing only the bomber, Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, an Iraqi-born Swede.

After Swedes reacted with humor and confusion to Trump's remarks, he tried the next day to clarify what he meant. In a tweet on Sunday he said he was referring to a Fox News report about "immigrants & Sweden."

My statement as to what's happening in Sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on @FoxNews concerning immigrants & Sweden.
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 19, 2017

In the Fox News report, host Tucker Carlson interviewed Ami Horowitz, who made a film about an alleged increase in crime associated with asylum seekers in Sweden. He has described himself as "right of center."

"So they have these - what they really become are no-go zones. These are areas that cops won't even enter because they're too dangerous for them," Horowitz told Carlson.

Give the public a break - The FAKE NEWS media is trying to say that large scale immigration in Sweden is working out just beautifully. NOT!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 20, 2017

Are those claims justified?

"It's very judgmental," Nicklas Lund, a press officer at the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention, said of the claims. The council is an agency in Sweden's Ministry of Justice that conducts research on the judicial system.

Sweden has 15 suburbs with high crime rates, he said, but the recent influx of refugees doesn't explain the problem. Rinkeby is one of these 15 areas.

"In 2015 a big number of refugees came to Sweden, and these were problem areas before that," he told ABC News.

In fact, the number of reported crimes in those 15 areas decreased from 2014 to 2015. In 2015, 19,092 crimes were reported in those 15 areas - a decline from 19,576 in 2014. In 2012 the number of reported crimes in these areas was over 20,200, according to data from the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention. Numbers for 2016 are not yet available.

The council looks at factors such as income and education level in its research on why people commit crimes - not whether they are refugees, Lund said.

Sweden, with a population of about 9.6 million, received nearly 163,000 asylum applications in 2015 - the most ever for the country and more than double the number the year before, according to the Swedish Migration Agency. In 2016, 28,939 people applied for asylum in Sweden, according to the agency.

The decrease in the number of asylum seekers is partly explained by changes in Swedish law, which made it more difficult to achieve family reunification and obtain permanent residency. Also, a refugee agreement between Turkey and the European Union made it more difficult for asylum seekers to cross to Europe.

Sweden announced temporary border controls in 2015, and the country has extended the measures several times. Earlier this month, border controls in some places, in Skane and in Vastra Gotaland counties, were extended by three months, until May 10, the Swedish government said.

Carl Bildt, a former prime minister and foreign minister of the country, noted on Monday in a tweet - which appeared to mock Trump's tweeting style - that the number of murders committed in Sweden nationwide last year was lower than the number reported in Orange County, Florida, near Melbourne, where Trump spoke Saturday.

Last year there were app 50% more murders only in Orlando/Orange in Florida, where Trump spoke the other day, than in all of Sweden. Bad.
- Carl Bildt (@carlbildt) February 20, 2017

Sweden has a low crime rate compared with the U.S., according to the U.S. State Department 's Bureau of Diplomatic Security, but Sweden has seen some increase in violent crime in recent years.

Last year 112,645 violent crimes were reported in the country - an increase from 108,739 in 2015, 108,071 in 2014 and 104,738 in 2013, according to the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention. Those totals include attempted murder, muggings and rape but not other types of sexual assault and murder, the council said.

In 2015 the number of murders went up to 112, from 87 the previous year. The data for 2016 have not yet been compiled, according to the council. But what these numbers don't show is how many of the crimes were committed by asylum seekers. The statistics are based on police reports, and the reports don't mention the suspected perpetrators' ethnicity, citizenship or refugee status, according to the council.

"The police reports don't have a box you tick about whether it's a Swedish citizen or an immigrant," Lund told ABC News, noting that the council does a lot of research on why people commit crimes. The council looks at a number of social factors, including income and education, but not immigration status or ethnicity.

When asked to respond to Trump's remarks on Sweden during a press conference Monday in Stockholm, Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said that he was "surprised" by the comments and that Sweden faces "huge opportunities as well as challenges."

"I think also we must all take responsibility for using facts correctly and for verifying any information that we spread," he said.

When asked by another reporter about Trump's continued criticism of Sweden's immigration policy, Lofven responded, "It's up to the president to decide what he wants to say."

Lofven listed several international economic and innovation indices on which Sweden ranks highly and added, "So we have some very strong facts that show that Sweden is also handling the situation."

ABC News' Ben Gittleson and Lora Moftah contributed to this report.

'Kung Fu Granny' keeps town safe at 94

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The face of strength and protection in a province of southeast China has a bamboo stick in her hand and 90 years of Kung Fu experience under her belt.

Zhang Hexian, 94, has been protecting the members of her village and fighting injustice for decades and has recently become a star on Chinese social media.
QUICK-THINKING GRANDFATHER FIGHTS OFF 3-YEAR-OLD'S WOULD-BE KIDNAPPER
After photos and videos of the "Kung Fu Granny" practicing her craft surfaced on the Internet, stereotypes of inactive old women took a punch.

Kung Fu keeps Zhang in good health and in tip-top shape. According to her son, Feng Chuanyin, she has never been to the hospital - and never takes vitamins or supplements.
GUN-TOTING GRANDMOTHER FOILS HOME INVASION; 3 ARRESTED
Zhang began learning Kung Fu from her father at the age of 4 and has not stopped practicing her skills. She has even become quite the teacher herself, according to her students in Zhejiang Province who called her "wing-footed."

Zhang's practice has even helped save her life. According to Xinhua News, Zhang encountered three robbers on a mountain and challenged them, asking, "Dare you come and fight me?" Before they could respond, two robbers felt the wrath of the Kung Fu Granny and were immediately taken down. The third reportedly escaped knowing he would not stand a chance.

Kung Fu has also earned Zhang the title of best cook in her village because of her ability to do large-pot cooking with her strong arms. She reportedly once cooked 52 dishes for a single banquet in the 1970s, all by herself. Now at 94, she still stays true to her talents.

Zhang continues the tradition of practicing Kung Fu with her family, as she once did with her father. She has taught her own children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren her skills. And she says she'll keep teaching young people as long as she can.

the former hotel owner will have three years in prison for human trafficking. the men couldnt leave.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It now lies in ruins and its former owner Shamsul Arefin is serving a three-year prison sentence for the labor trafficking of a group of men from Bangladesh.

Among the victims was Abdul Azad. He was a chef in his family's business back home in Dhaka, when was attracted by an advert in the local paper advertising chef work in the UK.

The job offer included an annual salary of around $22,500, as well as paid holidays, free food and accommodation, according to court documents.

'Master and servants'

In 2009, Azad arrived in the UK, leaving his wife and son behind. But at the hotel, the work was very different from what had been promised. As well as working in the kitchen, Azad had to clean rooms, work in the garden, clear snow and provide labor for tradesmen.

What's more, as a condition of the job offer, Arefin had demanded an initial payment of about $6,200 to sponsor the men's visas and he later wanted even more money, the documents show. To pay the fees, Azad says he had to sell his wife's jewelry and a small piece of land that his father owned.

And far from the promised salary, Azad was told he would be paid only $125 per week, with the shortfall made up later -- but, according to the documents, he was not even paid that.

Even once the men realized the harsh reality of their situation, they felt unable to leave. They felt bound to Arefin, having paid him thousands of dollars for sponsorship visas, and Azad felt that, as their sponsor, Arefin had power over them.

Azad told CNN: "[Arefin] had the sponsorship license, he could do anything and he used to always show us this. 'If you don't do this, I can cancel [the sponsorship] and you have to move back and you may be illegal and the police will arrest you.'

"So we say nothing, because he was the sponsor, just like a master. He was the master and we were his servants."

'I wanted a better life'

After more than a year of labor abuse, Azad and three of the other victims found help at a local charity Lochaber Hope, which put the men in touch with a migrant rights NGO called Migrant Help.

"The men first came to my attention late in 2009," said Jim Laird, who worked for Migrant Help at the time. "They were in a terrible state, they'd clearly been brought over for labor exploitation.

"Their working conditions were very poor. They'd had to pay a lot of money to come here to the owner of the hotel, they weren't paid properly, they were working really long hours, sometimes up to 22 hours a day. They were forced to do all of the work to do with running the hotel, not just chefs, which they had been brought over to do."

He added: "There were probably about a dozen men involved, but only four of them who agreed to come and be supported by Migrant Help and then also to go to the police and have the case prosecuted."

All Azad had wanted was a more secure financial future for his family. "This is my fault, I feel," he said. "Why did I fall into this trap? I am the greedy one because I wanted a better life? Every human being wants this and the conditions in my country everybody knows."

Facing deportation

The trafficked men say they were able to stay in the UK on short-term temporary work visas after agreeing to testify as witnesses in the criminal investigation into Arefin but they now face deportation back to Bangladesh.

Despite Arefin's imprisonment, Azad said he still feels that his life would be under threat if he returned home.

He said, "You can ask me the question, why do you not leave this country and go back to your home country? Yeah I can go back, anytime I can go back, and in maybe one or two months you can find my dead body."

In response to this story the Home Office said they "do not routinely comment on individual cases" and issued a statement on the men's possible deportation: "The UK has a proud history of providing protection to those who need it. Anyone who feels that they would be at threat by returning to their home country is able to apply for asylum. Each claim is carefully considered on its individual merits".

Azad and his former colleagues are currently negotiating their appeal to remain in the UK and to bring their families over to them.

"My son is growing up without me, this is no life," said Azad. "And he had a dream too that he wanted to come with me and join with me, he wanted to play with the snow."

These symbols are now new symbols of hate.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This is how the use of hate symbols is evolving, and how people hide them in plain sight.

The new swastika

Mark Pitcavage is a senior research fellow at the Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism. He studies extreme right-wing groups and maintains the ADL's hate symbols database. He wants you to know, right off the bat, that nothing will ever top the swastika when it comes to hate.

"The Nazis have such brand name power that they are going to be dominating white supremacist symbology for a century to come," he says.

But there is risk in this hyper-visibility. Last year, a large neo-Nazi group called the National Socialist Movement announced it would be shedding depictions of the swastika in what their leader told The New York Times was "an attempt to become more integrated and more mainstream."

As a replacement, the NSM chose the Othala Rune, an pre-Roman symbol co-opted by Nazi Germany.

The rune, an innocent symbol outside of its appropriation by white supremacists, is related to ideas of "homeland" and "inheritance." It is also rooted in Germanic and pagan Viking cultures, two things that white supremacists love.

"The Nazis believed that Scandinavians were pure Aryans, just like Germans were," Pitcavage says.

While Othala runes are on their way in, other time-tested symbols are on their way out.

The iron cross used to be a widely-used hate symbol that harkened back to the Nazi era, but lost its potency in the '90s and early 2000s when surf, skate and motorcycle companies started using similar-looking images in their branding.

The old favorites, reimagined

People who employ hate symbols typically want their ideologies known, but not so much that they'll be criticized or shunned. It presents an interesting creative challenge.

Pitcavage breaks it down:

Still, most people seek what Pitcavage calls a " controlled display:" A swastika on their back that's only visible when they take off their shirt; or a tattoo on the inside of the lower lip.

But, sometimes, followers of hate groups will obscure symbols altogether, so they only make sense to people that have similar ideological literacy.

"One thing I see every once in a while is a 1488 represented with a pair of dice," Pitcavage says.

1488 is a combination of two numerical ideas: The 14 refers to the "14 Words" of a popular white supremacist slogan, and "88" refers to "Heil Hitler" (H is the 8th letter in the alphabet).

The Nazis don't have the market cornered on hypervisible hate symbols, though. There's also the KKK.

One of its most ubiquitous symbols is a so-called ' blood drop cross": a square cross with what appears to be a drop of blood in the middle. If you take away the cross and just leave the drop, it becomes a much more subtle symbol.

"Because it is a universal Klan symbol, people would notice," he continues. "At some point, somebody thought of the idea of caps and paraphernalia that just have a blood drop sign on them. The average person probably would not notice, but another white supremacist would."

The violent consequences

It's one thing to ink oneself up with symbols; it's quite another to, as Pitcavage pointed out, use these symbols as a form of intimidation. The reactions and themes they conjure are immediate and unequivocal: The swastikas or nooses or burning crosses and white hoods, the numerology and coded languages that lend an imagined significance to bald-faced brutality.

In 2004, Sean Michael Gillespie was arrested for trying to firebomb an Oklahoma synagogue. It was reported he wanted to commit 14 terrorist acts -- like the symbolic number 14. He also had internet handles featuring the number 88.

In 2008, two men were accused of plotting to assassinate President Barack Obama. It was discovered they were planning on killing 88 black people, including schoolchildren. Of the victims, they wanted to behead 14.

In 2015, Dylann Roof took 88 bullets with him into the Charleston, South Carolina, church where he killed nine people in 2015. "He was certainly familiar with the concept of 88," Pitcavage says.

The cultural weight

The visibility of hate symbols also makes them prime fodder for trolls and other ne'er-do-wells who know such symbols are shorthands for fear, pain and outrage -- like teenagers tagging the sides of buildings or a recent incident in which a group online tried to convince the Internet a simple bird meme was actually a hate symbol by photo-shopping a swastika on it.

"People know it will attract attention," he says. "I always consider three things: If you see someone spray paint KKK, it's not the Klan. If you see someone spray paint 666, it's probably not a Satanist, and if you see someone spray paint a swastika, it's not a Nazi."

Of course, that doesn't lessen the emotional and cultural harm these symbols can cause.

If anything, it makes them more dangerous because people use them without fully considering their damaging and deadly implications.

It is an interesting distortion of a hateful tradition in which devotees try desperately to control the message -- to conveniently hide their beliefs under hidden lip tattoos and white hoods (and online anonymity) while perpetuating symbols and messages that, like a virus, don't need a specific host to cause harm.

They do so by just existing.

Men where kept as selves in a remote Scottish hotel

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It now lies in ruins and its former owner Shamsul Arefin is serving a three-year prison sentence for the labor trafficking of a group of men from Bangladesh.

Among the victims was Abdul Azad. He was a chef in his family's business back home in Dhaka, when was attracted by an advert in the local paper advertising chef work in the UK.

The job offer included an annual salary of around $22,500, as well as paid holidays, free food and accommodation, according to court documents.

'Master and servants'

In 2009, Azad arrived in the UK, leaving his wife and son behind. But at the hotel, the work was very different from what had been promised. As well as working in the kitchen, Azad had to clean rooms, work in the garden, clear snow and provide labor for tradesmen.

What's more, as a condition of the job offer, Arefin had demanded an initial payment of about $6,200 to sponsor the men's visas and he later wanted even more money, the documents show. To pay the fees, Azad says he had to sell his wife's jewelry and a small piece of land that his father owned.

And far from the promised salary, Azad was told he would be paid only $125 per week, with the shortfall made up later -- but, according to the documents, he was not even paid that.

Even once the men realized the harsh reality of their situation, they felt unable to leave. They felt bound to Arefin, having paid him thousands of dollars for sponsorship visas, and Azad felt that, as their sponsor, Arefin had power over them.

Azad told CNN: "[Arefin] had the sponsorship license, he could do anything and he used to always show us this. 'If you don't do this, I can cancel [the sponsorship] and you have to move back and you may be illegal and the police will arrest you.'

"So we say nothing, because he was the sponsor, just like a master. He was the master and we were his servants."

'I wanted a better life'

After more than a year of labor abuse, Azad and three of the other victims found help at a local charity Lochaber Hope, which put the men in touch with a migrant rights NGO called Migrant Help.

"The men first came to my attention late in 2009," said Jim Laird, who worked for Migrant Help at the time. "They were in a terrible state, they'd clearly been brought over for labor exploitation.

"Their working conditions were very poor. They'd had to pay a lot of money to come here to the owner of the hotel, they weren't paid properly, they were working really long hours, sometimes up to 22 hours a day. They were forced to do all of the work to do with running the hotel, not just chefs, which they had been brought over to do."

He added: "There were probably about a dozen men involved, but only four of them who agreed to come and be supported by Migrant Help and then also to go to the police and have the case prosecuted."

All Azad had wanted was a more secure financial future for his family. "This is my fault, I feel," he said. "Why did I fall into this trap? I am the greedy one because I wanted a better life? Every human being wants this and the conditions in my country everybody knows."

Facing deportation

The trafficked men say they were able to stay in the UK on short-term temporary work visas after agreeing to testify as witnesses in the criminal investigation into Arefin but they now face deportation back to Bangladesh.

Despite Arefin's imprisonment, Azad said he still feels that his life would be under threat if he returned home.

He said, "You can ask me the question, why do you not leave this country and go back to your home country? Yeah I can go back, anytime I can go back, and in maybe one or two months you can find my dead body."

In response to this story the Home Office said they "do not routinely comment on individual cases" and issued a statement on the men's possible deportation: "The UK has a proud history of providing protection to those who need it. Anyone who feels that they would be at threat by returning to their home country is able to apply for asylum. Each claim is carefully considered on its individual merits".

Azad and his former colleagues are currently negotiating their appeal to remain in the UK and to bring their families over to them.

"My son is growing up without me, this is no life," said Azad. "And he had a dream too that he wanted to come with me and join with me, he wanted to play with the snow."

President Donald Trump spoke out Tuesday against the wave of anti-Semitic threats against Jewish community centers, calling them “horrible” reminders of the bigotry that still exists in the country.

President Trump spoke out Tuesday against the wave of anti-Semitic threats against Jewish community centers, calling them "horrible" reminders of the bigotry that still exists in the country.

"The anti-Semitic threats targeting our Jewish community and community centers are horrible and are painful and a very sad reminder of the work that still must be done to root out hate and prejudice and evil," Trump said after touring the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C.

Trump has been under increasing pressure to speak out again anti-Semitism amid several recent episodes, including bomb threats made Monday against 11 Jewish community centers. Similar threats have been made to Jewish schools in recent weeks, and last Thursday vandals in suburban St. Louis knocked over dozens of headstones in a Jewish cemetery.

"America is a nation built on the principle of religious tolerance. We must protect our house of worship & religious centers. #JCC," Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, tweeted Monday.

She converted to Judaism before marrying husband Jared Kushner, who is Orthodox.

On Tuesday, Hillary Clinton, Trump's Democratic rival in the 2016 White House race, called on Trump and others to "speak out" on attacks.

"JCC threats, cemetery desecration & online attacks are so troubling & they need to be stopped. Everyone must speak out, starting w/ @POTUS," Clinton tweeted about an hour before Trump's remarks.

JCC threats, cemetery desecration & online attacks are so troubling & they need to be stopped. Everyone must speak out, starting w/ @POTUS.
- Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) February 21, 2017

Trump also said Tuesday that his visit to the Smithsonian Museum on the National Mall was a "reminder why we have to fight bigotry and intolerance in all forms."

The statement comes after the White House issued a more general condemnation of "hate-motivated violence." Trump's White House faced criticism last month after issuing an International Holocaust Remembrance Day statement that did not specifically mention Jews.

At last week's press conference, Trump also cut off a reporter who asked the president about anti-Semitism in America.

Former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Rick Ankiel admitted to drinking alcohol before his games in his 2001 season

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text

Former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Rick Ankiel said he needed alcohol to calm his nerves at the start of the 2001 season.

In an interview on The Ryan Kelley Morning After on 590 The Fan, Ankiel explained his drinking before the game in his first start of the year as a 21-year-old:

Before that game...I'm scared to death. I know I have no chance. Feeling the pressure of all that, right before the game I get a bottle of vodka. I just started drinking vodka. Low and behold, it kind of tamed the monster, and I was able to do what I wanted. I'm sitting on the bench feeling crazy I have to drink vodka to pitch through this.

The pressure came from his struggles during the 2000 postseason. Ankiel was named the Game 1 starter of the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves after an impressive season where he posted a 3.50 ERA with an 11-7 record.

Unfortunately, his first playoff start was nothing short of a breakdown. He only lasted 2.2 innings while walking six batters and totaling five wild pitches, several of them going straight to the backstop. He got a couple more chances in that postseason but finished with a 15.75 ERA in three appearances, featuring 11 walks in four innings and nine wild pitches.

The next regular-season start was when he said he drank to survive the anxiety. He finished with a win after allowing two runs in five innings, outdueling Randy Johnson in a year the Hall of Famer won the NL Cy Young award.

"It worked for that game," Ankiel said. "It was one of those things like the yips, the monster, the disease ... it didn't fight fair so I felt like I wasn't going to fight fair either."

Ankiel also said he drank again before his next start, but it was ineffective, so he stopped. The rest of his pitching career didn't go quite as well, with that game being his last win as a starter. He finished with six starts in 2001 and made five relief appearances with the Cardinals in 2004.

On the plus side, Ankiel reestablished himself as an outfielder in 2007 and spent seven more years in the major leagues. The 37-year-old has a book coming out entitled The Phenomenon: Pressure, the Yips and the Pitch that Changed My Life.

Is President Trump right about the crime in Sweden:Just a few days after President Trump’s remarks on Saturday about what he said happened "last night in Sweden," unrest erupted in Rinkeby, a Stockholm suburb that is home to a large immigrant population. Rioters there set cars on fire and threw rocks at police Monday night after one person was arrested, local police said. Police fired guns but did not hit anyone.

Just a few days after President Trump 's remarks on Saturday about what he said happened "last night in Sweden," unrest erupted in Rinkeby, a Stockholm suburb that is home to a large immigrant population. Rioters there set cars on fire and threw rocks at police Monday night after one person was arrested, local police said. Police fired guns but did not hit anyone.

When Trump made his comments on Sweden at a rally in Florida, he also referred to Paris, Nice and Brussels - three cities that have seen terrorist attacks in recent years. So it caused some bewilderment when he added, "You look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden - who would believe this?"

Sweden hasn't had any terrorist attacks since it took in a recent wave of asylum seekers. The most recent terrorist attack happened in 2010, when two bombs exploded in Stockholm, killing only the bomber, Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, an Iraqi-born Swede.

After Swedes reacted with humor and confusion to Trump's remarks, he tried the next day to clarify what he meant. In a tweet on Sunday he said he was referring to a Fox News report about "immigrants & Sweden."

My statement as to what's happening in Sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on @FoxNews concerning immigrants & Sweden.
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 19, 2017

In the Fox News report, host Tucker Carlson interviewed Ami Horowitz, who made a film about an alleged increase in crime associated with asylum seekers in Sweden. He has described himself as "right of center."

"So they have these - what they really become are no-go zones. These are areas that cops won't even enter because they're too dangerous for them," Horowitz told Carlson.

Give the public a break - The FAKE NEWS media is trying to say that large scale immigration in Sweden is working out just beautifully. NOT!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 20, 2017

Are those claims justified?

"It's very judgmental," Nicklas Lund, a press officer at the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention, said of the claims. The council is an agency in Sweden's Ministry of Justice that conducts research on the judicial system.

Sweden has 15 suburbs with high crime rates, he said, but the recent influx of refugees doesn't explain the problem. Rinkeby is one of these 15 areas.

"In 2015 a big number of refugees came to Sweden, and these were problem areas before that," he told ABC News.

In fact, the number of reported crimes in those 15 areas decreased from 2014 to 2015. In 2015, 19,092 crimes were reported in those 15 areas - a decline from 19,576 in 2014. In 2012 the number of reported crimes in these areas was over 20,200, according to data from the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention. Numbers for 2016 are not yet available.

The council looks at factors such as income and education level in its research on why people commit crimes - not whether they are refugees, Lund said.

Sweden, with a population of about 9.6 million, received nearly 163,000 asylum applications in 2015 - the most ever for the country and more than double the number the year before, according to the Swedish Migration Agency. In 2016, 28,939 people applied for asylum in Sweden, according to the agency.

The decrease in the number of asylum seekers is partly explained by changes in Swedish law, which made it more difficult to achieve family reunification and obtain permanent residency. Also, a refugee agreement between Turkey and the European Union made it more difficult for asylum seekers to cross to Europe.

Sweden announced temporary border controls in 2015, and the country has extended the measures several times. Earlier this month, border controls in some places, in Skane and in Vastra Gotaland counties, were extended by three months, until May 10, the Swedish government said.

Carl Bildt, a former prime minister and foreign minister of the country, noted on Monday in a tweet - which appeared to mock Trump's tweeting style - that the number of murders committed in Sweden nationwide last year was lower than the number reported in Orange County, Florida, near Melbourne, where Trump spoke Saturday.

Last year there were app 50% more murders only in Orlando/Orange in Florida, where Trump spoke the other day, than in all of Sweden. Bad.
- Carl Bildt (@carlbildt) February 20, 2017

Sweden has a low crime rate compared with the U.S., according to the U.S. State Department 's Bureau of Diplomatic Security, but Sweden has seen some increase in violent crime in recent years.

Last year 112,645 violent crimes were reported in the country - an increase from 108,739 in 2015, 108,071 in 2014 and 104,738 in 2013, according to the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention. Those totals include attempted murder, muggings and rape but not other types of sexual assault and murder, the council said.

In 2015 the number of murders went up to 112, from 87 the previous year. The data for 2016 have not yet been compiled, according to the council. But what these numbers don't show is how many of the crimes were committed by asylum seekers. The statistics are based on police reports, and the reports don't mention the suspected perpetrators' ethnicity, citizenship or refugee status, according to the council.

"The police reports don't have a box you tick about whether it's a Swedish citizen or an immigrant," Lund told ABC News, noting that the council does a lot of research on why people commit crimes. The council looks at a number of social factors, including income and education, but not immigration status or ethnicity.

When asked to respond to Trump's remarks on Sweden during a press conference Monday in Stockholm, Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said that he was "surprised" by the comments and that Sweden faces "huge opportunities as well as challenges."

"I think also we must all take responsibility for using facts correctly and for verifying any information that we spread," he said.

When asked by another reporter about Trump's continued criticism of Sweden's immigration policy, Lofven responded, "It's up to the president to decide what he wants to say."

Lofven listed several international economic and innovation indices on which Sweden ranks highly and added, "So we have some very strong facts that show that Sweden is also handling the situation."

ABC News' Ben Gittleson and Lora Moftah contributed to this report.
