“The heat wave will pose a high to very high risk to the general population, particularly the elderly and those without adequate air conditioning, due to both the intensity of the high temperatures and the duration of the heat wave,” the weather service warned. More than 45 million people were under a heat watch for most of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Nevada and parts of Utah, Arizona and California. The heat was so intense that millions of Californians were again told to reduce their electricity consumption between the hours of 4 p....

Karina Dracott provided investigators with images used to identify a pod of northern resident killer whales disturbed by a scuba diver who placed his boat directly in their path as they passed through Prince Rupert’s harbour in April 2020. Dracott — who co-ordinates the North Coast Cetacean Research Initiative — says the case highlights a problem which reaches well beyond one isolated incident. “People are approaching marine mammals quickly and coming in too close and making a ton of noise that can really disturb or stress them....

A tornado warning has been issued by Environment Canada Wednesday afternoon for the Cornwall and Morrisburg, Ont., areas. The warning lists Winchester, Newington, Chesterville, Dunbar, Ingleside and Dixon, Ont., as possible impact areas. “This is a dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation,” the agency said. It suggests that anyone who hears a roar or sees a funnel cloud or flying debris take shelter immediately. “Go indoors to a room on the lowest floor — away from exterior walls and windows — such as a basement, bathroom, stairwell, or closet....

A new book by UK-based author Richard Kerbaj — The Secret History of the Five Eyes — is set to be released on Thursday. It claims that a Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS) informant smuggled Shamima Begum, then 15, and her school friends Kadiza Sultana and Amira Abase — 16 and 15 at the time — to northern Syria, and that the informant said the Canadians its operators. The book goes on to claim that CSIS later approached the counter-terrorism unit of London’s Metropolitan Police – which was investigating the disappearance of the teenagers – and asked not to be the focus of attention....

There is no mechanism in American law or history for re-run presidential elections, nor for declaring the loser of an election the winner two years after the event. But Mr Trump appeared to ignore that fact when he took to his own Truth Social platform to make such an impossible claim on Monday morning. “So it now turns out, definitively, that the FBI buried the HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP story BEFORE THE ELECTION knowing that if they hadn’t, ‘Trump would have easily won the 2020 Presidential Election,’” he wrote, referring to the oft-cited his complaint about the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s failure to disclose an ongoing investigation into the younger Mr....

Donald Trump has taken to Truth Social to share a blizzard of memes flattering himself, denigrating Joe Biden and claiming that the “deep state” is machinating to destroy him, filling his page with false messages and sometimes extreme imagery – including phrases nodding to the QAnon movement. The ex-president’s dive into the dark world of right-wing meme-making comes after he doubled down on dubious claims about the story of Hunter Biden’s laptop and insisted that new revelations about the coverage of the story mean the results of the last election should be nullified....

Leading the story: Trump’s legal team in a filing accused the administration of twisting the context of his request for a “special master” to review evidence seized by the FBI from his Mar-a-Lago home after the The Justice Department cited “national security interests” in court as it opposed such an appointment. The former president wants the U.S. District Court in southern Florida to appoint a special master, a third-party lawyer like a retired judge, to hear the case — including the issue of executive privilege....

The social media company said tweets can be edited “sometimes” in half an hour. Tweets will appear with an icon, timestamp and label to make it clear that the original post has been modified. Tapping the tag will take viewers to an edit history, which will include previous versions of the tweet. “The time limit and version history play an important role here. They help protect the integrity of the conversation and create a publicly accessible record of what was said,” the company said....

Two train cars in El Paso, Texas, derailed Monday night, killing at least one person and damaging a natural gas line, fire officials said. The derailment happened near Barton Street and homes in the area were initially evacuated as a safety precaution, El Paso Fire Department spokesman Enrique Dueñas-Aguilar told Fox News Digital. About 50 people were allowed to return home an hour later, Dueñas-Aguilar said. The spokesman said one death was confirmed as a result of the derailment....

According to The Washington Post, the decoy versions of US-supplied rocket launcher systems drew at least 10 Russian Kalibr cruise missiles, leading Ukraine to further boost its production of replicas, in an effort to lure Moscow into firing its expensive long-range missiles on fake targets. “When the UAVs see the battery, it’s like a VIP target,” a senior Ukrainian official told the Washington Post newspaper, referring to the Russian drones that spot the long-range artillery replicas, transmitting the location of the dummy targets to its naval cruise missiles....

Alors que le juge montre une photo d’une de ses cocardes, Sophie se souvient d’avoir été frappée au visage avec une chaussure ce jour-là lorsqu’il l’a frappée dans le bain, l’a poussée dans un fossé ou l’a tirée par les cheveux.

Il a enfreint la loi du silence et fui la Russie : Pavel Filatiev, un militaire qui a combattu pendant deux mois en Ukraine avant de signaler l’attentat au Kremlin, demande l’asile politique en France. Le militaire de 34 ans est arrivé dimanche à Roissy via la Tunisie et a rencontré lundi des agents de l’Office français de protection des réfugiés et apatrides (Ofpra). La raison ? Début août, le parachutiste, qui s’est réenrôlé l’an dernier dans le 56e régiment des troupes aéroportées basé en Crimée après avoir quitté les rangs de l’armée pendant un certain temps, a publié un compte rendu de 141 pages sur le réseau social Vkontakte dénonçant l’état des troupes russes....

Die beiden, die in den Ermittlungen nicht gesehen worden waren, gaben nun vor Gericht alles zu. Sie lehnten es jedoch ab, weitere Aussagen zu machen. „Man kann nicht nur Zugang zu Frauen haben. Es ist kein Selbstbedienungsladen“, sagte Richter Philipp Krasa in seinem Urteil. “Frauen sollten in Ruhe gelassen werden.” Der damals 17-jährige Rumäne feierte am 25. März mit Freunden im Stadtpark, wo auch der 15-Jährige anwesend war. Dort seien reichlich Alkohol und Drogen konsumiert worden, bevor die Gruppe in die Wohnung des 18-Jährigen gebracht worden sei, weil er “sturmfrei” sei, sagte er....

The Philadelphia Eagles are trading wide receiver Jalen Reagor to the Minnesota Vikings, according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports. ESPN reports that Philadelphia will receive a seventh-round pick in 2023 and a conditional fourth-round pick in 2024 in exchange for the receiver.
