The husband of the lady that was killed by a shark is suing the diving company.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The fiancé of the Wall Street exec who was killed by a shark off Costa Rica last week blames the diving company she was with for not keeping her safe.

"Apparently they didn't have any protection - the divers or the instructors had nothing to ward off any of these fish, sharks,'' plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Rosenthal told The Post in an exclusive interview Monday as he grieved for his girlfriend, Rohina Bhandari, 49.

"I don't understand that aspect of it, that there was no protection for her or for the other guests for that matter," the doctor said. "I just feel that the safety precautions they took were not as good as they should have had."

Bhandari, a senior private-equity director for WL Ross & Co., was killed by a female tiger shark while scuba-diving Thursday.

Rosenthal said he found some solace in knowing that at least his fiancé died doing what she loved.

"She loved seeing the fish," he said, noting her prior dives in Jamaica, the Galapagos Islands and the Bahamas. "The wildlife fascinated her."

Rosenthal referred to his late fiancée as "a 10-star person" - who always had a smile on her face and touched the lives of everyone around her.

He described her as the more outgoing of the pair, saying, "We'd go to an affair or party, and within 5 minutes she'd know everyone in the place."

Rosenthal recalled one instance, at President Trump's inauguration party, when she introduced him to Speaker of the House Paul Ryan - after meeting Ryan's wife in the ladies room.

"She was someone who befriended everyone," he explained.

Remembering their first date, when he was just returning home from a beach trip, Rosenthal said, "She was all dressed up in makeup and jewelry and was really beautiful, and I'm wearing a pair of shorts, and I'm like, I can't compete.

"There was a universe of stars, and she was the brightest," Rosenthal said.

The surgeon had now been tasked with caring for Bhandari's 7-year-old golden Labrador, Simba, after making a promise to her back when they first began dating.

"When we started going out many years ago, the deal was that I accept them both," Rosenthal said.

"And I accepted them with open arms, and a while later she said, 'Well when are you going to adopt him as yours,' and I said, 'He's adopted, he's mine now,' so Simba and I are now together."

Countless people have reached out to Rosenthal since his fiancé's death, asking for ways to help him with the loss, both emotionally and financially, he said.

He has asked people to contribute to the South African based foundation, US Friends of Hoedspruit Endangered Species Center, which Bhandari supported. The foundation, he says, will name their next new animal after her.

3rd season of stranger things  ( i hate when the pic doesn't show)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The company made the announcement Friday on Twitter.

The news comes just months after the genre-blending drama picked up five awards, out of 18 nominations, at the 2017 Emmy Awards.

It also picked up a SAG Award earlier this year for best drama series ensemble. The win solidified show's status as a genre series that is also a critical hit -- a rare feat.

"Stranger Things" Season 2 debuted in October.

The sophomore season found the young characters (played by Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Millie Bobby Brown, Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo and Sadie Sink) in somewhat diverging storylines as a dark force took control of one character.

Season 3 does not yet have a target release date.

Southern Californias fire so out of control where thousands are evacuating

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
One person died from a car accident associated with the fire, according to a tweet f rom the Ventura County Fire Department's public information officer account.

More than 800 homes in the city of Santa Paula are under mandatory evacuation. And fire officials warned that the powerful winds are pushing east, which could turn the flames toward the cities of Ventura and Santa Paula.

Officials warned that they expected the fire to impact East Ventura by 1 a.m. (local time).

The brush fire, which is called the Thomas Fire, was first reported in Steckel Park, which is just north of Santa Paula. Within a few hours, the fire had jumped to at least 10,000 acres as it scorched through steep terrain.

Officials shut Route 150, between Ojai and Santa Paula, due to the fires.

Evacuation centers were opened at the Ventura Fairgrounds and a high school in Ojai.

The fire ignited as officials had warned of extreme fire danger in the area due to the Santa Ana winds, blowing as fast as 40 to 60 mph.

Homeless man rescues children from burning apartment in Las Vegas,

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A homeless man came to the rescue of two small children who were trapped inside a burning apartment in Las Vegas on Friday, authorities said.

Anival Angulo, 36, who is currently homeless, noticed smoke coming from an east Las Vegas apartment building and heard children crying as he was walking by the area just before noon on Friday. He jumped over a locked gate into the complex and saw smoke billowing through a barred security door of a smoldering apartment, according to a press release from Las Vegas Fire and Rescue.

Angulo saw a 3-year-old girl standing near the door inside the smoke-filled apartment, but the door was dead-bolt locked and she couldn't get out. So Angulo pulled on the steel bars of the door, bending it upward, causing the dead-bolt lock to unlatch. The door opened and the little girl ran to him, wrapping her arms around his waist, authorities said.

Through the smoke, Angulo could see another small child on the floor of the apartment. He pulled the 10-month-old baby out and took both children to safety away from the building, authorities said.

The two children were later transported to Las Vegas' University Medical Center for minor smoke inhalation. They are expected to recover, authorities said. There were no other reported injuries

"Without the quick action of Angulo, the children would have probably suffered severe smoke inhalation with burns. His action certainly saved the children's life," the Las Vegas Fire and Rescue said in a statement Friday.

Authorities said the cause of the fire has been ruled an accident. Investigators determined the flames ignited from cooking grease in a pan on a stove in the kitchen. The two children were in the living room when the fire started and their grandfather, who was watching them, was in a back bedroom at the time.

The flames gutted the kitchen and the living room, while the rest of the apartment suffered heavy heat and smoke damage. The apartment next door had minor smoke damage, authorities said.

Las Vegas Fire and Rescue received multiple calls about a fire at an apartment where children were trapped inside at 11:33 a.m. local time. When firefighters arrived on scene, flames and smoke were billowing out of the windows and door of an apartment in a one-story, wood-framed building that contained four units. The firefighters searched for the children and got the blaze under control in less than 10 minutes, authorities said.

The American Red Cross is assisting three adults and a child displaced by the blaze.

worlds biggest starbucks opens in China. 30,000 sq ft

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Starbucks is going venti in China.

The Seattle-based coffee company opened a 30,000-square-foot store in Shanghai on Tuesday. It's the first Starbucks Reserve Roastery -- the company's new retail offering -- outside the U.S.

It's also the largest Starbucks in the world, spanning an area nearly twice as large as the next biggest, a Roastery in Seattle that opened three years ago.

Executive Chairman Howard Schultz said the store would blend the company's 46-year history in the coffee shop business with "China's rich, diverse culture."

China is a vital market for Starbucks , according to John Gordon, a restaurant analyst at Pacific Management Consulting.

The company's latest quarterly earnings were pretty gloomy, showing disappointing sales growth in a tough retail environment.

The one bright spot was China, which stood out as Starbucks' fastest growing market. Sales there were up 8% compared with the same quarter last year.

The company is riding that wave and expanding aggressively in China, opening a new Starbucks store every 15 hours on average.

Even though Chinese are traditionally tea guzzlers and less hooked on coffee than Americans, the country's growing ranks of upwardly mobile consumers still view Starbucks as an attractive, aspirational brand.

The company is playing to that perception with its new Shanghai shop.

"This is a show store," Gordon said. "The point is to be in a highly, highly visible, touristy [area] where there's foot traffic, offices and urban housing in order to promote the brand."

Related: Starbucks bets big on China

The new store will roast beans on site in a massive copper cask. There is also a special emphasis on tea, with a dedicated bar offering items like nitrogen cold brew tea.

In a sign of the times, Starbucks partnered with Chinese tech giant Alibaba to aggressively promote the Shanghai store opening online. Customers can book coffee tasting experiences on Alibaba's e-commerce site and also buy special Starbucks Reserve coffee and related products tied to the store's launch.

But the Shanghai roastery won't hold the title of largest Starbucks for too long. The company has already inked a deal for an enormous 43,000-square-foot Reserve Roastery in Chicago that's set to open in 2019.

Eerie photographs capture the Cold War's abandoned 'ruins'

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Written by Oscar Holland, CNN

Photographer Phillip Buehler was in the first grade when the Cuban missile crisis unfolded. He still remembers the duck-and-cover drills at his school in the Bronx.

"I grew up afraid of the Cold War," he said in a phone interview. "But as a boy, I used to build models of B-52s, and I wanted to be an astronaut in the space race. It was a combination of fascination with the machines and fear of impending doom."

More than 50 years later, this mix of curiosity and dread has resulted in a new book exploring some of the Cold War's forgotten relics.

Featuring abandoned bunkers, decommissioned jets and deactivated missiles, "(Un)thinkable" brings together more than 80 of Buehler's photographs to tell the story of a great rivalry. Shot over the past 35 years, Buehler's project has taken him to the sites of critical moments in Cold War history, including Florida's Cape Canaveral, the home of NASA rocket launches, and the former West Germany.

By revisiting a far-reaching global conflict, Buehler hopes to address its impact on individuals. Fittingly, the book opens with a photo from the very spot where Buehler's own relationship with the Cold War began.

"There's a picture of the fallout shelter sign on my grammar school," he said. "I went back last summer and it's still there, just around the corner from the apartment I lived in."

"People have forgotten how horrible it was living under the constant threat of nuclear war."

The danger of forgetting

Whether capturing empty plane cockpits or forgotten bunkers, Buehler is helping to document a past that is slowly decaying from sight. The eerie stillness of the images stands in contrast to the destruction that might have been.

With threats of nuclear war again emanating once more, the photographer believes that his pictures carry an increasingly important warning. At a recent exhibition in New York, he even created an installation juxtaposing John F. Kennedy's national address on the Cuban missile crisis with recordings of Donald Trump threatening Kim Jong Un.

"I thought the Cold War was over. We'd forgotten about this stuff," he said. "But the pendulum has swung back, just when I thought the planet was getting better.

"Hearing President Trump bandy about terms like 'fire and fury' is kind of disturbing if you lived through that once and were worried about it. But here we are talking about it again -- and (the weapons are) way more destructive now."

Buehler wants the images serve as a reminder of the prospective horror of nuclear conflict. But he also hopes that they resonate with viewers on an aesthetic level.

"Some of (the hardware) is just awesome -- in the true sense of the word," he said. "It's awesome what man can create and also what we can destroy, so I use that to seduce people

into a story. Some of these images are just aesthetically beautiful, like rows upon rows of B-52 bombers. They just seduce you with their symmetry and organization."

More than 'ruin porn'

"(Un)thinkable" is the latest product of Buehler's long-standing fascination with abandoned places. Since the mid-1970s (when he first rowed a boat out to New York's then-derelict Ellis Island), the photographer has captured everything from empty amusement parks to abandoned psychiatric hospitals.

"If you're a kid in the suburbs, there's not much frontier left," he said. "So, if you live in New York, the frontier is abandoned places. I'd go to places that looked like an apocalyptic future ... then I'd start getting into the history of them."

Yet, the American expresses a certain disdain for the recent wave of so-called ruin porn, suggesting that some photographers are more concerned with abandoned sites than the stories behind them.

"I try to do a lot more than (ruin porn)," he said. "It's a fascination. Some writers might go to Japan for a year and write a novel. For me, I'll photograph a place and spend years finding out about it."

Australia legalizes same-sex marriage

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Austria's Constitutional Court has decided that same-sex couples will be allowed to marry by the beginning of 2019, ruling that the existing laws are discriminatory.

Same-sex couples in Austria have been allowed to enter legal partnerships since 2010, but until now haven't been able to marry.

The Constitutional Court took up the issue following a complaint from two women who were refused permission to enter a formal marriage by authorities in Vienna.

It said in a ruling published Tuesday that restrictions on same-sex marriage will be lifted at the end of 2018 unless the government does so itself earlier. Both gay and straight couples will also be able to enter legal partnerships that fall short of marriage.

Thousands were forced to flee their homes on Monday as firefighters battled a fast-moving wildfire in Southern California that had charred at least 25,000 acres of land.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Thousands were forced to flee their homes on Monday as firefighters battled a fast-moving wildfire in Southern California that had charred more than 10,000 acres of land, authorities said.

Intensified by strong winds and harsh weather conditions, the fire caused at least one death in Ventura County, California, emergency officials said. The person's identity was not released, but authorities attributed the death to an automobile accident.

About 650 residents were under mandatory evacuation in Ventura County as of early Tuesday morning as the wildfires moved southwest toward the coast. Officials said several thousand homes in nearby areas had been evacuated due to the fire, although they cautioned that the figure was a rough estimate.

Two buildings were destroyed, officials said.

Separately, Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, California, which has about 350 students, was evacuated Monday evening.

*** FIRE ALERT ***
A large brush fire has struck the area around Steckel Park, just south of the Thomas Aquinas College campus. As a precaution, all students are being evacuated to nearby homes. Please pray for the safety of all those affected!
- ThomasAquinasCollege (@TACollege) December 5, 2017

"We're really just trying to catch it around the edges and just pinch it off as quickly as we possibly can," Ventura County firefighter Jason Hodge told reporters Monday. "It's a challenge, but everybody's out there working hard and will be through the night."

Officials said the blaze started as a 50-acre brush fire in a foothills area east of Santa Paula -- located about 40 minutes east of Santa Barbara -- at around 6:30 p.m. Monday.

It multiplied in size to 10,000 acres in just four hours, authorities said. Santa Paula has a population of about 30,000.

The fire, referred to as the Thomas Fire by authorities, knocked out power for more than 190,000 customers in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, Southern California Edison said. Firefighters in Ventura said they were dealing winds of between 25 and 50 mph, which they said made it impossible to fight the fire via aircraft.

"It's always difficult and somewhat dangerous to fly at night, so depending on different conditions and the geographic challenges is how they evaluate whether or not they can operate at night," Hodge said.

The cause of the fire is unknown.

Man refuses to bake cake for gay couple's wedding and the case heads to Supreme Court. Colorado bans business from discriminating and refusal of service based upon sexual orientation or race, and this act is against the law. Because he did not throw the couple out of the shop, this simply follows his religious beliefs.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The US Supreme Court hears arguments on Tuesday in the case of a gay couple turned away by a Colorado bakery as they tried to buy a wedding cake.

In 2012, baker Jack Phillips refused to make David Mullins and Charlie Craig such a cake, saying it was against his Christian belief.

A legal battle ensued, with Colorado's court finding that the baker's actions represented unlawful discrimination.

The baker says this violates his rights to religious freedom and free speech.

How did the case come around?

In July 2012, Mr Mullins and Mr Craig went to Mr Phillips's Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, near Denver, to order a cake for a party to celebrate their planned marriage in Massachusetts later that year.

But Mr Phillips refused, saying it was his "standard business practice not to provide cakes for same-sex weddings".

Instead, he offered them other products, including birthday cakes and biscuits.

The couple later filed a successful complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission.

Colorado bans businesses from discriminating against customers based on race and sexual orientation.

In 2015, Colorado's appeals court upheld the decision, with the state's supreme court later denying review of the case.

What are the baker's arguments?

Mr Phillips then decided to take the case - known as Masterpiece Cakeshop v Colorado Civil Rights Commission - to the US Supreme Court.

He argues that his cakes are artistic endeavours, and therefore guarantees of freedom of speech and expression in the US Constitution protect him from being forced to make creations that express a message he opposes.

His lawyers also say that he did not violate public accommodation laws that ban discrimination because he did not throw the gay couple out of the shop outright and refuse to serve them.

Mr Phillips is represented by Alliance Defending Freedom - a conservative Christian legal group.

Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) represent Mr Mullins and Mr Craig.

What ramifications could this have?

A verdict in favour of Mr Phillips could open the door for a number of businesses to refuse certain services to gay couples by invoking religious beliefs.

Legal experts say that businesses could use the case to say they have a similar right to turn way, for instance, interracial couples if this clashes with their religious beliefs.

ACLU lawyer Louise Melling said opposition lawyers were "asking for a constitutional right to discriminate".

"This is not a case about a cake," she told Reuters. "It is a case about a very radical proposition."

N.Korea missile images appears to be tampered with.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Marco Langbroek, a space expert who tracks North Korea's missile program, told CNN he noticed something strange about the stars in images taken from opposite sides of the missile launch.

"You should see constellations that are opposites in the sky. That is not the case," he said.

Langbroek determined the direction of the photo based on the shape of the plumes of smoke coming from the rocket engine.

In the early hours of Wednesday, North Korea test-fired what is believed to be its most technologically advanced long-range ballistic missile. North Korea state media reported the Hwasong-15 reached an altitude of 4,475 kilometers (2,800 miles), putting the "whole" US mainland in range.

Langbroek, who is based in the Dutch city of Leiden, said he's been studying the photos since they were released by North Korean state media last week.

Something was off; to shoot stars, photographers use a longer exposure to more let light in. However, the longer exposure means that movement is captured as a blur.

When photographing a missile at night, photographers would use a wide-open aperture and fast shutter speed to capture the missile's rapid ascent. Stars wouldn't show up that clearly in an image, even in North Korea, where there's very low light pollution.

"They looked so crisp, that just didn't seem right to me," said Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics who corresponds with Langbroek.

Not all the images appear to be tampered with, Langbroek said.

One shot of the Hwasong-15 erected before launch shows the stars in the background, but also shows blurry individuals in the bottom-right corner, a sign that a long exposure was used to capture the night sky.

Ears to hovercrafts

North Korea has a reputation of altering images it releases to the world, tampering with everything from Kim Jong Un's ears to hovercrafts conducting an amphibious landing.

The concern with aesthetics could explain why North Korea may have tampered with its missile photos. The starry background helps highlight the missile and give it an ethereal quality, giving the photograph some texture that a near pitch-black background would not.

But the enhancements could also throw off those who study North Korea's missile program.

North Korea has conducted most of this year's missiles tests during daylight hours, and background landmarks help analysts locate exactly where a missile was launched.

That's an important data point that helps experts calculate everything from range to payload.

Using stars to locate where a missile was launched is much more difficult.

"Stars just don't look that different a few miles apart, and we have no reason to disbelieve that this launch was from the Pyongsong region north of Pyongyang," McDowell said.

By conducting the launch at night and altering backgrounds, it's possible that Pyongyang was trying to throw everyone off.

Jeffrey Lewis, a nuclear weapons expert at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, said on his latest podcast his team will use forensic software to lighten the nighttime images for clues. When asked about Langbroek's findings, Lewis told CNN they are still running the images.

But McDowell believes the images were only edited for aesthetics because the missile itself does not appear to have been altered.

"I don't think we've seen any evidence of that, so it looks like they just cut out a star background and put it on to make it look cool," he said.

Dude, she is never going out with you again.

A smooth but larcenous Staten Island Casanova was looking to steal more than a kiss from his date - he also snagged the woman's bank card and MacBook, cops said.

The thief met his 34-year-old victim at 2 a.m. Nov. 19 for a dinner date, cops said, and in the process took her bank card and computer.

Cops couldn't say where they ate, or how they met, Monday night.

The St. George woman later realized the card and her laptop were missing. Then, cops said, she noticed several unauthorized charges on her card.

The cad went by the name Antonio Ruiz, according to police. He's described as Hispanic and between 30 and 40.

Police released his photo Monday, and ask anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.

"I was informed that he was badly shot by North Koreans," Dr. Lee says, reliving the complex chain of events that brought North Korean defector Oh Chong Song to his trauma unit on November 13.

Lee says he went to meet his critically injured patient on the helipad, just a few hundred feet from the state-of-the-art, US-modelled, trauma center he runs at Ajou University Hospital in the South Korean capital, Seoul.

The chopper was coming in fast, and for that he says he was thankful.

"His vital signs were so unstable, he was dying of low blood pressure, he was dying of shock," says Lee.

"He was like a broken jar, we couldn't put enough blood into him."

The 24-year-old had been shot around five times by his fellow North Korean soldiers as he made his daring escape across the line that divides North and South Korea.

Riddled with bullets, he was dragged to safety by South Korean soldiers and hovered close to death during the 25-minute airlift to hospital.

What unfolded after the Black Hawk touched down was a harrowing effort to keep Oh alive that lasted more than six hours -- captured in video Lee shared exclusively with CNN, with the permission of the soldier.

Minute by minute struggle

In the first 30 minutes, after Oh was rushed into Trauma Room One, Lee and his team worked to keep Oh breathing.

"He has one (bullet) through his right knee joint, the other one is the tricep muscle area on his arm, the third one was his back, chest and coming out from his shoulder," says Lee, as he reviews the video.

But the worst was yet to come.

During a five-hour operation to remove a bullet that had pierced Oh's intestines, Lee encountered a complication he's never seen in his20-year career as a surgeon: Parasites.

Lee describes working to repair at least seven wounds in the defector's perforated bowel while the white worms were squirming their way out of Oh's body.

"Everything was stained with blood, but the parasite was basically a really white color and this thick, big, long and very, very hard, this kind of thing was getting out from his bowel system," Lee says.

Lee describes Oh's vital signs as being so unstable that a few times during the grueling operation he thought the defector would die on the surgical table.

"It's a miracle that he survived," Lee says.

All parasites were removed from Oh's system, some of which were as long as 27 centimeters (more than 10 inches).

Intestinal worms are typically transmitted through contact with feces or unwashed hands. The use of human fertilize r on crops and poor sanitary conditions can also aid the transmission of parasitic cysts.

Lee appears to have grown fond of Oh during the weeks he's been treating him.

"I'm very proud of him, he fled from North Korea seeking for liberty, much more freedom, it's quite easy to say, but it's really, really difficult to make it happen, so I admire him," says Lee.

Lee operated on Oh again two days later for more than three hours and, within days of that, the defector began a fast-paced recovery that has surprised even his doctors.

Walking, talking

Oh is walking, talking and going to the bathroom independently. His condition, though stable, is still grave.

Complications from Tuberculosis and Hepatitis B continue to compromise his recovery, especially his liver function.

Oh is also under psychiatric care and likely to be suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), says Lee.

He's been plagued by nightmares, sometimes fearing he was still in North Korea prompting Lee to hang the South Korean flag in his recovery room to remind him he was safe.

"He actually asked me, is it really South Korea? And I said, have a look at that flag -- have you ever seen that flag in North Korea?"

It's unclear what the future holds. Oh has told his surgeon that he's interested in studying law. Lee says he has no interest in going into the South Korean military as other defectors have done.

For now though, his condition is still so delicate that Lee says he told South Korean officials "very firmly" that they had to postpone questioning Oh. As a border guard on active duty, he's likely to have valuable information on North Korea's armed forces.

The South Korean government screens defectors for security risks and runs resettlement programs to help them adapt and integrate into South Korean society -- something that can be an uphill struggle.

Lee is protective about his patient and Oh remains under heavy security in the hospital so that nothing can compromise his treatment.

"If there's so many questions about his past years in North Korea, it might affect his emotional status, so if he's in depressed status, he may not be able to eat properly or recover properly," Lee says.

To take his mind off the pain, Lee says he encouraged Oh to listen to music -- he likes K-Pop group Girls Generation -- and watch television. Lee says the first movie he saw was Transporter 3, an action movie starring Jason Statham.

Oh told Lee that American and South Korean TV dramas are already popular in North Korea, suggesting that some people have access to outside media.

"I was quite surprised," says Lee.

Newfound celebrity

Throughout Oh's miraculous survival and recovery, Lee, a renowned surgeon who trained in San Diego in the US, says it's been hard to not let the stress get to him.

There's been intense interest in Oh's story across South Korea and by international media, and as one of the few people who has access to him the demands for information are relentless.

He tells us that while Oh's survival is a miracle, it is an outcome his team strives for every day with every patient.

The tradeoff is much personal sacrifice.

Lee says he goes home just one day a week, spending the rest working and sleeping in the trauma center he has nurtured for years.

What he's not used to is his newfound celebrity. As we walk outside with him he's asked to pose for a photograph within a matter of minutes.

South Korea has been riveted by how he saved Oh and Lee says he knew his country was counting on him.

"People tend to say that I'm proud of my country, or something, so that's why I was trying to save Mr. Oh's life, but it's totally wrong, as you can see here, we are doing this job every single day."

YouTube is hiring over 10,000 workers to "clean up" YouTube. They are going to have more restrictions on videos that are offensive and ads.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Google is going on a hiring spree to try to stamp out offensive videos and comments on YouTube.

The company is recruiting thousands of reviewers to reduce the amount of "problematic content" on its video platform. It's also introducing tougher restrictions on advertising and making greater use of smart technology.

By 2018, Google aims to have more than 10,000 people "working to address content that might violate our policies," YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said in a blog post. She did not say how many people currently monitor YouTube for offensive videos.

"Some bad actors are exploiting our openness to mislead, manipulate, harass or even harm," Wojcicki said, adding that YouTube's trust and safety teams have reviewed nearly 2 million videos for violent extremist content over the past six months.

"We are also taking aggressive action on comments, launching new comment moderation tools and in some cases shutting down comments altogether," she said.

YouTube has grappled with a series of controversies this year concerning videos available on its platform. It was forced to adopt additional screening measures last month on its kid-friendly platform, YouTube Kids, after reports showed many of the videos there contained profanity and violence.

Companies such as Etihad Airways, Marriott and Deliveroo pulled their advertisements in June -- as did the U.K.'s Labour Party -- after finding they were appearing alongside videos made by a hate preacher.

Wojcicki said YouTube was taking a "new approach to advertising," with more manual curation, stricter criteria for videos eligible to show ads, and a greater number of ad reviewers.

"We want advertisers to have peace of mind that their ads are running alongside content that reflects their brand's values," she said. "Equally, we want to give creators confidence that their revenue won't be hurt by the actions of bad actors."

The company isn't just banking on more human intervention, however. Its machine learning algorithms have helped remove more than150,000 videosfrom YouTube since June that depict violent extremism.

Wojcicki said 180,000 people would have had to work 40 weeks to assess the same amount of content.

"Because we have seen these positive results, we have begun training machine-learning technology across other challenging content areas, including child safety and hate speech," she added.

While most of the new hires are content reviewers, Google is also recruiting for related jobs, including engineers and policy specialists to work on refining its machine learning technology.

Man with machete type sword was shot and killed by NYC police.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A man with a "machete-type sword" was shot and killed by New York City police early Tuesday morning, the NYPD said.

The man, who was not identified, was shot in a third floor Bronx apartment just after 4 a.m.

The officers went into a rear bedroom where the man confronted them with a knife that had a 2-foot long blade. When he repeatedly refused to drop the weapon, police shot him once in the chest, according to NYPD Chief of Patrol Terence Monahan.

"This was information we received about guns and drugs in that apartment," Monahan said. "That's why we went down to court and got a search warrant to search that premises."

The man later died at a local hospital.

There was one other occupant of the apartment, an elderly man, who was not hurt but taken to the hospital for observation.

Explosive wildfire in Southern California forces thousands to evacuate.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
At least three wind-whipped wildfires exploded Tuesday in Southern California, forcing more than 150,000 people to evacuate and scorching thousands of acres.

Ventura County Fire officials said the larger blaze, known as the "Thomas Fire," broke out Monday evening east of Santa Paula, located about 60 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. The fire has grown to 45,000 acres and has destroyed 150 structures, according to the Ventura County Fire Department.

Gov. Jerry Brown declared states of emergency Tuesday for Ventura County and nearby Los Angeles County.

"The prospects for containment are not good," Ventura County Fire Chief Mark Lorenzen said at a news conference. "Really, Mother Nature is going to decide when we have the ability to put it out because it is pushing hard with the wind."

Firefighters have been unable to reach some of the severely burned areas to confirm lost homes. But Incident Commander Toss Derum told the Associated Press that a bigger tally will likely come on Wednesday. Derum says some 3,000 homes are threatened.

At a news conference Tuesday afternoon, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti urged people to pack up and go rather than wait and risk their lives.

He said shelters can accommodate as many as 12,000 people.

After initial reports of a fatality, county fire Capt. Steve Kaufmann said a dead dog but no person was found in an overturned car. Lorenzen said at a news conference Tuesday a battalion fire chief was injured in a car crash, but not seriously hurt.

The fire has grown to 85 square miles, with strong winds forcing
water-dropping planes and helicopters essential to battling the blaze to be grounded. Officials hope to have the aircrafts in the sky on Wednesday, but early indications seem to suggest the winds will remain at high speeds.

More than 1,000 firefighters are battling the fire, and power outages have been reported in Santa Paula, Camarillo, Ventura and Santa Barbara.

"This fire is very dangerous and spreading rapidly, but we'll continue to attack it with all we've got. It's critical residents stay ready and evacuate immediately if told to do so," Brown said.

Southern California Edison said nearly 180,000 customers in the Ventura County area were without service. Ventura County Fire Public Information Officer Rick Macklin told Fox News around 8,700 homes have been evacuated so far.

The fire is currently burning brush that has not burned in 20 years. The cause of the fire is undetermined.

"The fire growth is just absolutely exponential," Lorenzen said. "All that firefighters can do when we have winds like this is get out ahead, evacuate people, and protect structures."

Authorities say Ventura, a city of more than 100,000 people 12 miles away, is expected to feel the effects of the fire soon. Thomas Aquinas College, a school with about 350 students, also has been evacuated.

The wildfire jumped the U.S. Highway 101 to a rocky beach
northwest of Ventura, prompting new evacuations. However, due to the lack of vegetation and scarce population officials said it was not overly dangerous, and that the highway remained open.

A psychiatric hospital burned to the ground as the blaze roared through Ventura County, Fox 11 reported. The Vista del Mar Hospital treats patients with mental health problems, chemical dependency and veterans with post-traumatic stress syndrome.

"Our goal is to keep the public as safe and informed as possible," Lorenzen said, adding that conditions are "about as bad as they can be for fire spread."

Evacuation shelters have been set up at the Miners Building at the Ventura County Fairgrounds and Nordhoff High School, Fox 11 reported.

Residents located outside the evacuation zone watched the blaze shift along the nearby hills overnight, and debated whether they should stay or go.

"I just hope we're all right," Taylor Penny told the Los Angeles Times.

Nearby, Eddie Barragan and his wife Maria told the Times they were watching the fire for hours.

Barragan, who told the newspaper he was an iron worker who worked as a wildlife firefighter, was studying the flames and paying attention to how the wind shifted.

"If it comes over this next ridge, or the wind shifts, it takes one ember to get on one of these houses, and there it goes," he told the Times.

As firefighters battled the "Thomas Fire," a second blaze broke out around 40 miles east on the north edge of Los Angeles that is threatening portions of the Sylmar and Lakeview Terrace neighborhoods and charring more than 4,000 acres, according to Fox 11.

The "Creek Fire" was first reported as a 100-acre fire, but quickly grew, Los Angeles County Fire Department officials said. There were mandatory evacuations issued for 2,500 homes as red flag and high wind warnings continue in the area.

As if fire crews weren't busy enough, a third blaze dubbed the "Rye Fire" broke out near Rye Canyon Road in Santa Clarita, which is now at 200 acres and is zero percent contained.

Interstate 5, known as the Golden State Freeway, was closed in both directions at the 126 Freeway because of the blaze, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office said.

The National Weather Service said winds of 43 mph with gusts over 60 mph have been reported in the area, and are expected to continue throughout the day.

"Damaging #SantaAnaWinds and very critical fire weather conditions today and again late Wed night-Thu," the weather service said on Twitter. "Main impacts include downed trees/powerlines, blowing dust, power outages, and very rapid fire spread."

Typical of fall, the Santa Ana winds are spawned by high pressure over the Great Basin that sends air flowing toward Southern California where it speeds up as it squeezes down through mountain passes and canyons and blows out toward the coast.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
