A unusually large diamond with a pink color sold for a record breaking $50 million. The diamond is 18.96-carats.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An unusually large pink diamond sold for a record-breaking $50 million (about 50.3 million Swiss francs) Tuesday at Christie's auction house in Geneva.

After five minutes of bidding, the 18.96-carat Pink Legacy became the world record holder for price paid per carat for a pink diamond at auction.

Christie's international head of jewelry, Rahul Kadakia, said it was purchased by American luxury brand Harry Winston, and will be renamed the Winston Pink Legacy.

"You have to acknowledge first that the Pink Legacy diamond was a very special diamond," Kadakia said. "It is one of the best and finest examples of pink diamonds at this size and color and it proved it with a new world record price per carat."

The diamond went under the hammer as part of the annual Magnificent Jewels auction and attracted a huge amount of interest because of its large size and impressive color grading.

Pink Legacy is categorized as a "Fancy Vivid" diamond, the highest grade of color intensity. Only 1 in 100,000 diamonds receives the grading.

The diamond is an even rarer find because of its size, as Fancy Vivid Pink diamonds larger than 10 carats are "virtually unheard of," according to Christie's.

"This record-busting price fetched suggests the diamond trade is in good health and signals the market's sensitivity to Australia's Argyle mine's imminent closure in 2020," Eddie LeVian, CEO of jewelers Le Vian, said in a statement. "With Argyle producing 90% of the world's pink diamonds, what do you think the value of this diamond will be in five years from now?"

Christie's did not identify the jewel's latest owners but it once belonged to the Oppenheimer family, who ran the De Beers diamond mining company for three generations until selling their stake in 2011.

The sale is the latest in a booming market for large pink diamonds.

In April 2017, a 59.6-carat diamond known as the Pink Star became the most expensive jewel sold at auction after going for $71.2 million at Sotheby's in Hong Kong. It was the largest polished diamond ever auctioned.

Then in November 2017, the Pink Promise sold for $32.5 million at Christie's Hong Kong. At almost 15 carats, the diamond sold for a record-breaking $2.176 million per carat. The sale of Pink Legacy has surpassed that, at $2.637 million per carat.

It is set to be a big week for Christie's as a painting by British artist David Hockney is expected to smash the record for a work by a living artist sold at auction.

"Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures)" is set to be sold at Christie's Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Sale at New York's Rockefeller Center on November 15 for an estimated $80 million.

FBI sees 17% increase in hate crimes since 2016

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Two weeks after the deadly Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, the FBI released it's 2017 hate crimes statistics which revealed a 17 percent increase in incidents since 2016.

In 2017 there were 8,493 victims and 6,307 known offenders. By comparison there were 7,509 victims and 5,727 known offenders in 2016, according to the data. It's also worth noting that more law enforcement agencies participated in reporting hate crime statistics in 2017.

"This report is a call to action -- and we will heed that call," Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said in a statement. "The Department of Justice's top priority is to reduce violent crime in America, and hate crimes are violent crimes."

In 2016 there were 6,036 single-bias incidents, or occurrences where the perpetrator has one bias against a community or group. By comparison, in 2017, there were 7,106 single-bias incidents reported.

According to the FBI, "58.1 percent were motivated by a race/ethnicity/ancestry bias, 22.0 percent were prompted by religious bias, 15.9 percent resulted from sexual-orientation bias and 1.7 percent were motivated by gender-identity bias."

"I am particularly troubled by the increase in anti-Semitic hate crimes -- which were already the most common religious hate crimes in the United States -- that is well documented in this report," Whitaker said in his statement.

In New Jersey, a woman's windshield and ended up in the backseat of her car.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A New Jersey driver narrowly avoided death Monday morning when a deer she struck smashed through her windshield and landed in the back seat of the vehicle.

Melissa Misthal, of Howell, was driving her 2004 Toyota RAV4 on Route 9 when a deer darted in front of her car. She tried to avoid the animal, but struck it "while it was airborne."

"The force of the impact propelled the deer into the passenger compartment collapsing the front windshield and roof of the vehicle," police said in a Facebook post. "The deer came to rest on the rear floor."

Police added: "It was deceased."
WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES

Misthal navigated her car to the shoulder to avoid colliding with other vehicles. Howell police praised Misthal for having "the composure of bringing her vehicle to a safe stop in the shoulder of the roadway."

The 36-year-old woman was treated for minor injuries after the incident.

Photos from the scene showed the windshield completely smashed with the roof partially torn off. The buck's body was seen in the backseat.

"This had the potential of being deadly not only for her but for other motorists as well. She did everything right," police said.

More than 5,000 people have signed on an online petition calling on Baraboo School District to suspend students Who appear to be giving a Nazi salute in a group photo before their prom.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
More than 5,000 people have signed on to an online petition calling on the Baraboo School District to suspend students who appear to be giving a Nazi salute in a group photograph shot before their spring prom in May.

Baraboo District Administrator Lori Mueller has said she is investigating the photo and will take appropriate action. But repeated efforts to speak with her Tuesday were not successful.
RELATED: 'This isn't who we are': Viral Nazi salute photo of Wisconsin high school promgoers draws widespread condemnation
Regardless of any discipline meted out by the school, the image could have far-reaching consequences for the young men pictured there, according to a university administrator.

"This could very well have an impact on their ability to get into college," said Stefanie Niles, vice president for Enrollment and Communications at Ohio Wesleyan University and president of the National Association for College Admission Counseling.

"Everything has a reverberating effect," she said. "I think a lot of those young men will have a variety of responses from the institutions that were considering them."

Ellen Weiland, an assistant to Mueller, said the fallout may already have begun. She has heard that some students who have already graduated have had scholarships withdrawn, though she was unable to verify that. And she has fielded several calls from individuals saying they planned to ask their alma maters not to accept students from Baraboo.

"It's very sad," she said.

The photograph drew international condemnation this week after it went viral on social media. The image, taken by a professional photographer and parent of one of the students, shows about 60 young men standing on the steps of the Sauk County Courthouse before the prom. About 30 appear to be giving the Nazi salute and one, in the front row, is flashing a the three-fingered OK sign widely associated with white power movements.

The ensuing social media discussion included posts, reportedly by current and former students, describing an atmosphere at the school where racist comments and attitudes were commonplace and administrators did little to address them.

The incident comes amid a rise in white nationalist rhetoric and organizations. Late last month, residents in Baraboo and other Sauk County communities found white nationalist propaganda in their mailboxes, prompting some to mobilize against hate in their communities.

Elana Kahn, director of the Jewish Community Relations Council, said Tuesday a coalition of state and national Jewish groups would be reaching out to the Baraboo School District to offer anti-bias resources - including Holocaust survivors and their family members - who could help students better understand the context and consequences of their actions.

"We are much more interested in education than punishment," said Kahn, whose organization, part of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation, tracks anti-Semitic incidents in Wisconsin.

"I really think we need to rethink how schools teach values," she said. "The point is to make sure we're raising kids who can be leaders in a diverse society."

Pete Gust, the former-teacher-turned-photographer who shot the image, told The Associated Press that he had asked the teens to wave goodbye to their parents before heading off to prom.

Jordan Blue, one of the students, who did not raise his arm, said he believes some of the students intended to make the Nazi salute as a joke.

"When I saw what was happening, I was so upset," Blue said in a Fox 6 interview. "If I knew what was happening, I would not have gone up there. I don't believe in that kind of disrespect."

Gust had posted the photo to his photography business website, Wheel Memories, after it was taken in May. He took it down Monday and posted an apology after it surfaced in social media posts and was shared widely, prompting strong criticism from individuals and Jewish organizations.

The Baraboo School District said it was looking into the matter, and local police said they are helping with that investigation,

"If the gesture is what it appears to be, the district will pursue any and all available and appropriate actions, including legal, to address the issue," Mueller said in a letter to parents Monday.

At the Baraboo School Board meeting Monday night, about a half-dozen speakers addressed the matter.

Baraboo School Board President Kevin Vodak, stressing that he was speaking as a private citizen, said the photo "deeply disappointed me, shamed, appalled and angered me."

"The photo has shaken to the core my personal belief of the process that we as a community and as a school district have made to be tolerant, inclusive, accepting and admitting of all of those who are different from ourselves," he said.

Earlier Monday, about 100 people gathered near the courthouse for a unity rally that organizers said was aimed at sending a positive message about Baraboo, a community of 12,000 some 115 miles northwest of Milwaukee.

"The point is to show Baraboo is about love," organizer Sherri Schaaf said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report. This article originally appeared on Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: Fallout continues for Baraboo students in wake of photo showing what looks like Nazi salute
The Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum in Poland was among those criticizing the photo on social media.

"This is why every single day we work hard to educate. We need to explain what is the danger of hateful ideology rising," the Auschwitz Memorial tweeted.

The NFL has decided to move Monday's game between the Chiefs and Rams from Mexico City to Los Angeles before of poor field conditions at Estadio Azteca, it was announced Tuesday.

Players had strongly considering not playing if the NFL had opted to play the game in Mexico City, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter earlier Tuesday. The issue is that soccer games and concerts have left the field inside Estadio Azteca a mess.

"It's not fair to risk our health," a prominent player told Schefter on Tuesday.

Rams safety John Johnson saw the current field conditions in Mexico City on social media and tweeted his reaction.

THAT'S OUT🙅🏾‍♂️ https://t.co/3189rnSbhB
- John Johnson III (@iamjohnthethird) November 13, 2018

The game will be played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Monday Night Football.

The league, in a statement, said it consulted with the NFLPA in making the decision to move the game as the field at Estadio Azteca did not meet NFL standards for playability and consistency.

"We have worked extensively with our partners at Estadio Azteca for months in preparation for this game," Mark Waller, NFL executive vice president of international, said in a statement. "Until very recently, we had no major concerns. But, the combination of a difficult rainy season and a heavy multi-event calendar of events at the stadium, have resulted in significant damage to the field that presents unnecessary risks to player safety and makes it unsuitable to host an NFL game.

"As a result, we have determined that moving the game is the right decision, and one that we needed to announce now in order to allow our teams and fans to make alternate arrangement."

Crews were seen installing sod at Estadio Azteca on Tuesday, but the NFL, following an inspection of the field Tuesday afternoon, said the playing surface would not meet NFL standards by next Monday.

The Rams left for Colorado Springs on Monday to train at high altitude for a week before traveling to Mexico City, where the elevation is about 7,300 feet. The team will return to Los Angeles on Saturday.

According to Jeff Sherman of the SuperBook at Westgate Las Vegas, the Rams would go from 2.5-point favorites to -3.5 or -4. Sherman also said that all wagers made for the game being played in Mexico City would be refunded, as the SuperBook states games must be played at the "designated city/geographic area with 8 days of scheduled date."

Paris police officers found a lion cub in a Lamborghini during a traffic stop on the city's famed Champs-Elysees.

The cub , named Putin but known as Dadou, is less than two months old, according to the French animal protection agency now caring for it.

The agency, 30 Million Friends, is suing the driver of the rented sports car, who was taken into custody after police found the cub in the car on Monday. Paris police confirmed the find and the arrest.

The cub is the third recovered by 30 Million Friends in a month and the sixth feline in under a year. It is calling for beefed-up measures against the trafficking of wild animals in France.

The cub is basically fine, although a health check by a vet found that it was in a weakened state, is missing a bit of its tail and has a problem with one of its back paws, 30 Million Friends said.

It said the cub is now in quarantine in a big cat wildlife park east of Paris and will later join the two cubs recovered by 30 Million Friends in October.

LOS ANGELES - "Toy Story" fans better buckle up because there's a new toy in town.

Pixar released a teaser for "Toy Story 4" on Monday and just when you thought you knew the whole gang - Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Rex, Slinky Dog, Hamm the Piggy Bank and Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head - along comes someone new.

It appears to be a very confused and scared spork named Forky.

But this is not just any spork. This utensil has pipe cleaners for arms and is voiced by Tony Hale.

"The world of Toy Story is built upon the idea that everything in the world has a purpose," director Josh Cooley told EW. "A toy's purpose is to be there for its child. But what about toys that are made out of other objects? Forky is a toy that Bonnie made out of a disposable spork, so he's facing a crisis. He wants to fulfill his purpose as a spork, but now has a new toy purpose thrust upon him."

We don't know much about the latest installment of the popular franchise but the official synopsis states, "A road trip adventure alongside old and new friends will show Woody how big the world can be for a toy."

The film opens in theaters June 21, 2019.

A UPS driver snapped a picture of a boy playin gin leaves inches from the road; sends message about driver and pedestrian safety

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A UPS driver hoping to draw awareness about distracted driving and pedestrian safety snapped a now-viral photo of a young boy hiding under a pile of leaves near the side of a road while on his delivery route.

Driver Jordan Weaver was in Elkhart, a town about 150 miles north of Indianapolis, on Nov. 5 when he spotted the barely visible boy hiding in a leaf pile inches from the road, he told South Bend news station WSBT-TV. He first walked across the street to give a parcel to a woman who turned out to be the boy's mother.

"I couldn't believe it at first -- my heart completely stopped," Weaver said when he saw the boy on the ground. "Luckily, I parked across the street from the stop, so I didn't see the child until after I made the delivery. I immediately grabbed my phone and went and asked the mother if I could take a picture."

They recreated the moment with the boy's head visible, Weaver said, hoping to use the photo as a teaching moment.

"At every location all over the world, we do 15-minute PCM meetings before drivers go out on the road," UPS director of corporate media Glenn Zaccara told Yahoo! Lifestyle, referring to the company's pre-work communication meetings. "Part of it is stretching and literally getting themselves ready to go out. But an important part of the PCM is some type of safety message."

Each driver takes turns delivering a safety tip or story each morning.

Weaver shared his story with his colleagues and sent the photo to someone on a local UPS safety committee program, who then posted it to Facebook.

"He could have died," said Dayana Botello, who saw the photo on the social media website. "I said 'Oh my goodness, I have to be even more careful in paying attention to our kids.'"

Zaccara said the UPS spends almost half a billion dollars on safety and driver training, which Weaver had just completed.

"You really have to keep your eyes open," Weaver said. "No matter what street you're on, no matter where you're at, just have to keep your eyes open. You have to pay attention to everything around you constantly."

A public health emergency was declared Wednesday for California. At least 50 people have died from the fires.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar on Wednesday declared a public health emergency in California, where at least 50 people have died from multiple wildfires ravaging the state.

"We are working closely with state health authorities and monitoring the needs of healthcare facilities to provide whatever they may need to save lives and protect health," Azar said in a statement. "This declaration will help ensure that Americans who are threatened by these dangerous wildfires and who rely on Medicare, Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program have continuous access to the care they need."

Two massive blazes burning at opposite ends of the state have forced the evacuation of at least two hospitals and eight other health care facilities. A smoke advisory was issued for portions of Los Angeles County amid concerns that smoke from the fires could present a "significant health threat" for people with asthma and other lung conditions, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Thousands of exhausted firefighters battling the Camp Fire in Northern California and the Woolsey Fire in Southern California appeared to be getting a handle on the two massive blazes. But authorities continued to find more bodies amid the scorched destruction.

At least 50 people have been found dead from the fires, which have laid waste to more than 9,000 structures, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

Meanwhile, officials have warned of howling winds that could spawn more monster blazes with the slightest spark.

There's a new extreme fire danger in San Diego County, where ferocious wind gusts of up to 86 mph were recorded early Tuesday morning and could hit 100 mph by the end of the day, according to the National Weather Service.

The blustery condition prompted red flag warnings for the San Diego area, signaling extreme fire danger through at least Wednesday, officials said.

Some schools in San Diego County were closed Tuesday, and San Diego Gas & Electric took the precautionary measure of shutting off electricity in some fire-prone areas of the county to avoid new blazes, officials said.

Firefighters, with the help of out-of-state fire crews, were showing progress in their twin battles to subdue the widely-destructive blazes that have blackened a combined acreage larger than the size of New York City.

Camp Fire

The Camp Fire ignited Nov. 8 in Pulga, a tiny community in Northern California's Butte County nestled in the Plumas National Forest. The blaze had burned 130,000 acres of the bucolic landscape by Tuesday night, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

The Butte County Sheriff's Office announced Monday night that 13 additional people were confirmed dead from the blaze. Ten of the bodies were located in the city of Paradise, which was nearly completely destroyed by the blaze. Seven of those people were found in their burned homes.

The death toll from the Camp Fire now stands at 48, making it the deadliest single blaze in California's recorded history.

There were more than 100 people missing in the Butte County fire zones, though officials were working to track them down. The Butte County Sheriff's Office has received 1,513 calls for welfare checks and authorities had located 231 people safely by Monday night, officials said.

The fire left widespread catastrophic damage in the area, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

Two prison inmate firefighters were among three injured battling the Camp Fire, fire officials told ABC News.

The blaze was 35 percent contained as of Tuesday night.

"The entire community of Paradise is a toxic wasteland right now," Paradise City Council Member Melissa Schuster, who lost her home in the calamity, told ABC News' "The Start" podcast. "In addition to that, and this is the hardest part for me to even talk about, is the number of fatalities is [among] things that we don't know at this moment and that's something that has to be determined before people can move back in."

Schuster said teams from the Butte County coroner's office are combing through thousands of destroyed homes and burned cars in Paradise, a town of about 30,000 people.

"We will rebuild our homes, we will rebuild our town stronger, better, safer and more beautiful than ever," she told ABC News' "The Start" podcast.

Woolsey Fire

The Woolsey Fire, which also started on Nov. 8, ignited near Simi Valley in Northern California's Ventura County. The flames have since spread south to Los Angeles County and have burned a total of 97,114 acres by Tuesday night, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

At least 435 structures, including many homes, have been destroyed by the blaze, which swept through the celebrity enclaves of Malibu and Calabasas.

The fire killed two people in Malibu, where the entire city has been under a mandatory evacuation order, officials said.

The blaze was 40 percent contained as of Tuesday night, as firefighters successfully stretched containment lines. But crews were dealing with a flare-up Tuesday in the Lake Sherwood and Hidden Valley areas of Ventura County that was threatening to take off in the windy weather and sending a huge plume of smoke over the region.

"We are not out of the woods yet. We still have tough conditions," Ventura County Fire Chief Mark Lorenzen told reporters at a news conference Tuesday afternoon.

The flare-up broke out Tuesday morning in a canyon that had not previously burned and flames were being pushed up a ridge away from populated areas, according to Lorenzen.

Los Angeles County Fire Chief Daryl Osby said the Woolsey Fire, which has spread to an area about the size of Denver over Ventura and Los Angeles counties, was the largest his department has battled in 100 years.

Despite Tuesday's flare-up, Osby said, "We are getting the upper hand" on the blaze.

Another wildfire in the area, the Hill Fire, was 92 percent contained by Tuesday night after burning 4,531 acres in Ventura County, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

Even as firefighters battled the wind-whipped fires in Southern California, two new fires broke out Monday afternoon on the Los Angeles-Venture County border and sent crews scrambling to fight them. Attacking fires from the ground and air, firefighters were able to quickly smother both blazes.

The largest of the two new blazes sparked up near a densely populated neighborhood in Simi Valley, grew to 105 acres and prompted the closure of Highway 118 in both directions for more than an hour.

"It just hits home that we are still in significant fire weather and the existing fire is not our only concern," Lorenzen, Ventura County's fire chief, said at a news conference Monday afternoon.

More than 227,000 acres burned in California

The California wildfires, as shown in the map below, have burned a total of 227,114 acres across the Golden State, and there was no sign that the weather would cooperate anytime soon.

There is no rain in the forecast for the Northern and Southern California in the fire zones through Thanksgiving, National Weather Service meteorologist Aviva Braun told reporters Monday night.

Dry and near-critical conditions are expected to continue through Wednesday as breezy, northwest winds kick up.

The monstrous fires were threatening to destroy up to 57,000 more structures in Southern California and another 15,500 in Northern California as blustery winds are expected to deal firefighters a menacing challenge throughout the state over the next two days, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

149,000 evacuated

More than 149,000 people throughout California have evacuated as a result of the fires, outgoing California Gov. Jerry Brown told reporters over the weekend.

Batallion Chief Lucas Spellman of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America" that fires were being fueled by an abundance of vegetation that grew during a spike in precipitation last year only to wither during a new dry spell that has hit the state.

"So, it's just a recipe for destruction," Spellman said.

California Gov. Jerry Brown on devastating wildfires raging across the state: "This is not the new normal, this is the new abnormal."

Officials are warning evacuees eager to return home to stay away, emphasizing that many of the damaged areas are still not safe.

But on Tuesday, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department was allowing some residents who evacuated in the Woolsey fire to return home, including reopening the entire city of Hidden Hills and parts of Calabasas, West Lake Village, and Agoura Hills.

Harrowing escape

Nichole Jolly, a nurse at Feather River Hospital in Paradise, said she was nearly killed twice Thursday by the Camp Fire after helping to evacuate critically sick patients.

"I called my husband and I just said, 'I don't think I'm gonna make it out of this. It's coming in too fast, I don't even know where to go,'" Jolly told ABC News.

She said she tried to drive out of the harm's way only to have her car fill up with smoke and get rear-ended by another panicked driver.

"I knew I was gonna die if I stayed in my car," she said, so she jumped out and ran.

She said her pants were on fire by the time she was rescued by two firefighters.

"Everybody I know lost everything.

Paradise resident Brad Weldon told ABC News that his home was one of four still standing on a mile-and-a-half stretch in his neighborhood.

Weldon woke up Thursday morning to fire reports in Pulga -- about a 30-mile drive east of Paradise -- but stayed at his home with his 90-year-old mother, Norma Weldon, who is blind and refused to leave.

Once Weldon noticed that the fire was coming toward his home with 60 mph winds, he witnessed a firenado change the course of the blaze.

"And a fire tornado, like a big firestorm, started right up there, and it kind of turned the fire away from us," he said. "I believe that was the angels."

When asked what was left of the town of Paradise, Weldon replied, "Nothing."

"It's gone," he said, holding back tears. "Everybody I know lost everything. It's real sad."

The governor-elect of California, Gavin Newsom, has issued an emergency proclamation for Butte County due to the Camp Fire.

On Sunday, Gov. Brown requested that President Donald Trump issue a Major Disaster Declaration to bolster the ongoing emergency response and aid residents in their recovery from devastating fires throughout the state.

"We have the best firefighters and first responders in the country working in some of the most difficult conditions imaginable," Brown said in a statement Sunday. "We're putting everything we've got into the fight against these fires and this request ensures communities on the front lines get additional federal aid. To those who have lost friends and family members, homes and businesses, know that the entire state is with you. As Californians, we are strong and resilient, and together we will recover."

Late on Friday, Trump declared a state of emergency for California, freeing up federal resources to supplement local response efforts. The declaration allows the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate disaster relief efforts to help alleviate the hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population, provide support for emergency measures and free up federal resources.

But on Saturday morning, Trump threatened to pull federal funding for California wildfires if the state didn't "remedy" its poor "forest management."

"Our focus is on the Californians impacted by these fires and the first responders and firefighters working around the clock to save lives and property - not on the president's inane and uninformed tweets," Brown's press secretary, Evan Westrup, told ABC News on Sunday.

Brian Rice, president of California Professional Firefighters, called Trump's threat to slash funds for battling California wildfires "ill-informed, ill-timed, demeaning to those who are suffering as well as the men and women on the front lines."

Rice said Trump's assertion that California's forest management policies are to blame for the catastrophic wildfires is "dangerously wrong."

"Wildfires are sparked and spread not only in forested areas but in populated areas and open fields fueled by parched vegetation, high winds, low humidity and geography," Rice said.

On Monday, Trump approved an emergency request for a major disaster declaration in Butte, Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.

In a prom photo it looks like the students are giving a Nazi salute, but according to the photographer he just told them to wave goodbye.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The photographer who took the picture of Wisconsin high school students appearing to give the Nazi salute apologized and said he asked them to "wave goodbye," according to a local media report.

Peter Gust, a local motorcycle photographer who took the photo, told Wisconsin's Madison365.com that the photo was "taken out of context" and as "innocent as boys and girls going to prom." He said he "simply" told the boys to "wave goodbye, heading off to prom."

The photo was posted to a prom photo album on Baraboo High School's website, Wisconsin's Madison365.com reported. One student reportedly said the "wave" order was not given. He said he "felt upset, unsafe, disappointed and scared. I felt unsafe because I go to school with them, I don't believe in what they represented and the symbol they shared ... they knew it was wrong, but they still did it."

Gust released a statement on his website that said, "to anyone that was hurt I sincerely apologize" and called out "malevolent behavior" directed at the photo album.

"It is too bad that there are those in society who can and do take the time to be jerks; knowingly and willingly to be jerks! The internet can be a wonderful tool but for some there is an overwhelming urge to destroy," Gust's statement read.

The Baraboo School District said it is considering legal action against some of its own students.

"The photo of students posted to #BarabooProud is not reflective of the educational values and beliefs of the School District of Baraboo," Superintendent Lori Mueller said in a statement. "The District will pursue any and all available and appropriate actions, including legal, to address."

The district said in a letter sent home to parents Monday that the image was "not taken on school property or at a school-sponsored event."

The Baraboo Police Department said on Facebook Monday that it was are assisting the Baraboo School District with their investigation into the matter.

The Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum also blasted the district and students over the image, saying in a tweet that "If @barabooSD wishes to know more about what can be the extreme result of normalization of hatred...please see some online lessons dedicated to the history of Auschwitz."

Four members of the Wagner family have been arrested and charged with the murder of eight members of the Rhoden family - along with a slew of other charges. The motive for killing eight family members? To secure custody over a 3 year old child. After over two years, the arrests promise to provide closure in the largest, most complex homicide case in Ohio history.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Four members of a family with close business and family relations with the eight members of another family slain in April 2016 in Pike County, Ohio, have been arrested in connection with those deaths.

Angela Wagner, 48, her husband George "Billy" Wagner, 47, and their two sons, George Wagner IV, 27, and Edward "Jake" Wagner, 26, have each been charged in the gruesome deaths of the Rhoden family and Hannah Gilley.

"Billy" was arrested on Georgetown Road near Spur Road in Lexington, Kentucky, Tuesday afternoon, Lexington police said. FBI assisted Lexington police in making the arrest, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported.

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, Pike County Sheriff Charles S. Reader and Pike County Prosecutor Robert Junk will host a news conference at 4 p.m. Tuesday.

DeWine, who last week was elected next governor of Ohio, had said previously the investigation was laser-focused on the Wagner family, but he previously declined to call them suspects or persons of interest. And neither he nor Pike County Sheriff Charles Reader has provided details about why investigators spent two days searching the Wagners' Ohio property in 2017. Nor did they say at the time what prompted a news release asking the public for information on the Wagners.

Killed in the attack were Christopher Rhoden Sr., 40; his older brother, Kenneth Rhoden, 44; Christoper's former wife, Dana Manley Rhoden, 38; their three children, Clarence "Frankie" Rhoden, 20; Hanna Rhoden, 19; and Chris Rhoden, Jr., 16; and a cousin Gary Rhoden, 38.

Frankie Rhoden's fiancee, Hannah Gilley, 20, also was a victim.

The killers spared three young children, who were unharmed.

When reached by telephone Tuesday afternoon, Leonard Manley, the father of Dana Manley Rhoden, declined to comment.

A message was left with the Wagner attorney John Kearson Clark, who was in court Tuesday afternoon.

Authorities have repeatedly said the killers worked to cover their tracks, adding complexity to what is the largest homicide investigation in Ohio history.

As of April this year, investigators had received nearly 1,000 tips in the case, conducted nearly 500 interviews and processed more than 100 pieces of evidence.

The Wagners moved to Kanai, Alaska, from Adams County, Ohio, in June 2017, telling The Enquirer the speculation of their involvement in the Rhoden deaths drove them to move 4,107 miles.

"Really the point to moving up here was to basically get into a better environment so they wouldn't talk about us. Sophia is getting older, so she wouldn't hear it," Jake Wagner told The Enquirer in June 2017, standing on the family's front porch in Kanai. "And then it followed us here."

Sophia is the 3-year-old daughter of Jake Wagner and victim Hanna Rhoden.

John Kearson Clark, the Ohio-based lawyer for the Wagners, has said authorities are harassing his clients, who had nothing to do with the slayings and who have cooperated fully in the investigation.

"The authorities (using the media) want the public to believe that the Wagners are responsible and have absconded," he told The Enquirer last year.
The Enquirer will update this story.

Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez protests Nancy Pelosi (her democrat colleague) outside her office to push for a "Green New Deal" This green new deal is a reform on our energy-production, the reform would be a swift switch from fossil fuel to complete renewable energy.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Moments after arriving on Capitol Hill for freshman orientation, Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., went to the office of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

It wasn't to speak with Pelosi about her run for House speakership. But to join an impromptu sit-in outside of Pelosi's office to push for congressional action on climate change.

"We need to tell her that we've got her back in showing and pursuing the most progressive energy agenda that this country has even seen," Ocasio-Cortez said while standing in the middle of a group of around 200 protestors holding signs reading "Green Jobs For All."

The protesters wants Democratic leaders to put forward a "Green New Deal" that includes a swift transition to 100 percent renewable energy in line with findings of a recent report on climate change by United Nations. Fox News has learned 51 protesters were arrested Tuesday after refusing to leave a hallway outside Pelosi's office.

Pelosi, who was in New York on Tuesday, has been a major advocate for the battle against climate change and the protestors were hoping to pressure the presumptive next House speaker to push to put climate change on the agenda when the new Congress starts session in January.

She has pledged to reinstate a special committee on climate change after Democrats take control of the House.

"We are inspired by the energy and activism of the many young activists and advocates leading the way on the climate crisis, which threatens the health, economic security and futures of all our communities," Pelosi said in a statement on Tuesday. "We welcome the presence of these activists, and we strongly urge the Capitol Police to allow them to continue to organize and participate in our democracy.

While she was previously House Speaker, Pelosi pushed through the passage of the controversial "cap and trade" climate bill in 2009, but the matter was never taken up in the Senate.

A 14 year old boy with cerebral palsy was used as a 'bridge' to get across a frozen creek. A bully walked over the kid to get across, then continued to step on him.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
About 50 students and adults rallied outside a high school in Nova Scotia, Canada, on Tuesday, calling for an end to bullying after a teen with cerebral palsy was used as a human bridge to cross a stream earlier this month, reports said.

Brett Corbett, 14, of Glace Bay, was seen bullied and taunted in a video that went viral. Students hurled profanities at the teen, and called on him to lay face-down in the creek outside Glace Bay High School.

"I was freezing. ... No one tried to help me," Brett told Global News.

Signs at Tuesday's rally read "Step up so others don't get stepped on," and "Stop bullying! We Stand with Brett!"

Boxer Ryan Rozicki, from Sydney, Nova Scotia, made an appearance at the rally. He said could relate to how Brett was mistreated, the CBC reported.

"I was a victim myself and it definitely changed my life and I ended up making the most of it," Rozicki said. "It's just not right."

Rally organizer Dionne Dermody said she has firsthand experience working with people who have cerebral palsy.

"To see Brett hurt like that really pulled at my heart," she told the CBC.

In a blistering editorial Tuesday, the Chronicle Herald of Halifax placed a lot of the blame on school officials.

"The obvious lack of respect for a fellow human - in this case, someone "different" due to his cerebral palsy - in the Glace Bay High School video is a signal that whatever that school's doing regarding bullying, it's clearly not working on some students," the newspaper wrote. "Yes, respect should be taught at home. But as we know, not all parents are up to the task.

"So it's schools' responsibility to demand that students behave as civilized members of society. If that requires remedial education for some, so be it."

Jim Ellsworth, father of one of the students who allegedly bullied Brett, formally apologized over the weekend and said his son took responsibility for what he did, the CBC reported.

"This was an awful, awful situation that nobody should have to endure," Ellsworth told the news network.

Brett said he has accepted the apologies, but wants all bullying to stop, the CBC reported.

"When I return to school it better change," he said. "Not a lot of kids getting bullied, and if they do I want people to stick up for them."

What has amazed Corbett's mother, Terri McEachern, the most is her son's forgiveness for those who abused him, she told the Washington Post.

"It's just breaking my heart. ... This is his mind-set. ... Children with disabilities have the most amazing gifts in the world. They don't see bad in anyone. They see so much good in everybody."
- Terri McEachern, mother of Brett Corbett

"It's just breaking my heart. ... This is his mind-set," she said. "Children with disabilities have the most amazing gifts in the world. They don't see bad in anyone. They see so much good in everybody."

McEachern was still not satisfied with the outcome.

She said that the students involved in the bullying incident received only a light punishment and school officials were not doing enough to support her son, the CBC reported.

"The school doesn't seem to be doing anything, and just, 'Don't be doing that again,'" she said. "This is what they do, it was a tap on the hand, don't do it again."

McEachern said she intends to launch a formal complaint.

The school district, Cape Breton-Victoria Regional Centre for Education, said last week that it was taking the incident seriously, CTV reported.

"The behavior of the students involved is not one that the Centre for Education is proud of," the school district wrote in a statement. "Both the school and administration are presently investigating the incident."

Cape Breton Regional Police are also investigating the incident, the school district said, the Chronicle Herald of Halifax reported, adding that the students engaged in "unacceptable and very disappointing behavior."

About 20 students walked out of classes at the high school Friday to protest the bullying incident and the school's lack of action in combating a "serious problem" of bullying at the campus, the Herald reported.

"The school likes to sweep everything under the rug and pretend that it didn't happen," Kenna MacKinnon, 18, a Grade 12 student who helped organize the protest, told the paper. "So, we're just here to stand up for what's right and be the voice for all the kids that don't have one."
