WWW.FOXNEWS.COMLA County Sheriff identifies three veteran deputies killed in training facility explosionThe Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department has identified the three deputies killed in Fridays training facility explosion at an East Los Angeles County training site.The devastating explosion has been considered one of the agencys deadliest internal tragedies in years.The blast happened just after 7:30 a.m., claiming the lives of Deputies Joshua Kelley-Eklund, Victor Lemus, and William Osborn. All three men were assigned to the Special Enforcement Bureau's Arson Explosives Detail and were described as brave men who served with honor, courage, and an unwavering commitment to protecting and serving the community, the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department said."There are no words to express the pain and sorrow we feel," said Sheriff Robert Luna. "These heroes represented the best of ourDepartment, exemplifying courage, integrity, and selfless service.This is not only a heartbreaking loss for their families, but for all of us."AUTHORITIES OBTAIN SEARCH WARRANT RELATED TO EXPLOSION THAT KILLED 3 DEPUTIES AT LA COUNTY FACILITYThe fallen deputies had a combined 74 years of service, according to Luna.The LASD released a statement Friday evening highlighting the service histories of the deputies and each showed a long record of dedication, specialized training, and service across high-risk assignments.Detective Steven Kelley-Eklund joined LASD in 2006 but served at multiple facilities before becoming a Field Training Officer at South LA Station. Kelley-Elund was promoted to Detective with the Narcotics Bureau in 2016 and worked with major investigations and arrests. He became a certified Arson and Explosive Investigator in 2022. He is survived by his wife, Jessica, and their seven children.HUMAN REMAINS DISCOVERED DAYS AFTER DEVASTATING CALIFORNIA FIREWORKS FACILITY EXPLOSIONDetective Victor Lemus began his career at LASD in 2003 where he served at Twin Towers and Century Station.Lemus reportedly excelled as a Senior Training Officer and Detective. He was also touted as a decorated Baker to Vegas runner and a K-9 handler. He joined the Arson and Explosives Unit in 2023. He is survived by his wife, Detective Nancy Lemus, their three daughters, and several family members also serving with LASD.Detective William Osborn served in patrol, investigations, and training roles across the county and graduated in 1992.

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in Los Angeles will search the location for any potential explosive materials."At this time, it is not determined if the devices found yesterday have any correlation to todays critical incident," officials wrote in a statement to Fox Digital. "Santa Monica PD is assisting the Sheriffs Department in this incident and have evacuated the residents in the complex. They are in the process of locating a shelter for displaced residents."Details regarding a memorial service for the deputies will be released soon, according to LASD."The familyasks for privacy and compassion during this tragic time. The Department will continue to support the families, and our personnel throughout this difficult time," LASD said.0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 36 Views 0 Anteprima

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMRubio announces visa revocations on Brazilian judge for 'political witch hunt' against ex-president BolsonaroU.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced visa restrictions on a Brazilian judge after the country's Supreme Court issued search warrants and restraining orders against former President Jair Bolsonaro.Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, his unspecified allies on the court and his immediate family members will face visa revocations, according to Rubio, who criticized what he called a "political witch hunt" against the former president."President Trump made clear that his administration will hold accountable foreign nationals who are responsible for censorship of protected expression in the United States," Rubio said in a statement."Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes's political witch hunt against Jair Bolsonaro created a persecution and censorship complex so sweeping that it not only violates basic rights of Brazilians, but also extends beyond Brazil's shores to target Americans," he continued.POLICE SEARCH FORMER BRAZILIAN PRESIDENT JAIR BOLSONARO'S HOME, POLITICAL HEADQUARTERSAs part of the court's orders, Bolsonaro is prohibited from contacting foreign officials, using social media or approaching embassies over allegations he sought the interference of U.S. President Donald Trump, according to the decision issued by Moraes, who cited a "concrete possibility" of him fleeing the country.Federal police raided Bolsonaro's home, and he had an ankle monitor placed on him.Trump has already attempted to pressure Brazil's officials to help Bolsonaro by announcing a 50% tariff on goods from the country from August 1 in a letter that began by criticizing Bolsonaro's trial before Brazil's Supreme Court on accusations of attempting to overturn the last election.The U.S. president has pushed Brazil to end the case against Bolsonaro, arguing that the former Brazilian leader was the victim of a "witch hunt."Bolsonaro is on trial before Brazil's Supreme Court on charges of plotting a coup to stop President Luiz Incio Lula da Silva from taking office in January 2023.Bolsonaro told Reuters that he believed the orders against him were issued in response to Trump's criticism of his trial.The former president described Moraes as a "dictator" and called the latest court orders acts of "cowardice.""I feel supreme humiliation," he said about wearing the ankle monitor. "I am 70-years-old, I was president of the republic for four years."Bolsonaro denied any plans to leave the country, but said he would meet with Trump if he could obtain access to his passport, which was seized last year. He also said he had contacted the top U.S. diplomat in Brazil to discuss Trump's tariff threat.White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said on Friday, citing previous comments from Trump, that "Bolsonaro and his supporters are under attack from a weaponized court system."On Thursday, Trump shared a letter he sent to Bolsonaro."I have seen the terrible treatment you are receiving at the hands of an unjust system turned against you. This trial should end immediately!" he wrote.Moraes said in his decision that the restrictions against Bolsonaro were because of allegations that the former president was attempting to have the "head of state of a foreign nation" interfere in Brazilian courts, which the judge called an attack on national sovereignty.TRUMP CALLS FOR IMMEDIATE END TO UNJUST TRIAL OF FORMER BRAZILIAN PRESIDENT JAIR BOLSONAROThe judge added that Trump's threats of higher tariffs sought to create a serious economic crisis in Brazil to interfere in the country's judicial system.Bolsonaro was also prohibited from contacting key allies, including his son Eduardo Bolsonaro, a Brazilian congressman who has been working in the U.S. to gather support for his father.The former Brazilian president told Reuters he had been talking to his son almost daily and denied any concerted U.S. lobbying effort on his behalf. He said he expected his son to seek U.S. citizenship to avoid returning to Brazil.A five-judge panel of Brazilian Supreme Court judges upheld Moraes' decision.Reuters contributed to this report.0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 34 Views 0 Anteprima

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMSlovenia approves law to legalize assisted dying for terminally-ill adultsSlovenian lawmakers became the first Eastern European country to legalize a law on Friday to allow medically-assisted suicide for terminally-ill adults, in a shift in regional end-of-life policy.The country's lawmakers passed the bill following a closely watched parliamentary vote with 50 votes in favor, 34 against and three abstaining. The vote also focused on a national referendum demanding expanded end-of-life rights.The legislation comes after a consultative referendum last year in which 55% of voters supported the right to end-of-life autonomy. While the move is being praised as historic, the laws implementation will not be immediate as the procedures and oversight mechanisms are still being developed.The law applies to terminally ill adults who are experiencing unbearable suffering with no prospect of improvement. In order for candidates to qualify, they must be mentally competent and have already exhausted their available treatment options. Individuals suffering solely from mental illness will be excluded from eligibility. The patient has to provide informed, voluntary, and repeated consent. It is believed that the process may require evaluation by multiple medical professionals.DELAWARE'S ASSISTED SUICIDE BILL SIGNED INTO LAW, MAKING IT THE 11TH STATE WITH SUCH A STATUTEAlthough it is being hailed as a landmark move, it will not be immediately implemented as the detailed procedures and oversight mechanisms are still being finalized."This is a victory for compassion and dignity," said one lawmaker in support of the bill. A civil rights group opposed to the law referendum to overturn the measure.A civil rights group opposing the new law pledged on Friday to seek public backing for a potential attempt to force a referendum on the measure.NEW YORK ASSEMBLY PASSES BILL TO LEGALIZE ASSISTED SUICIDE FOR THE TERMINALLY ILLSeveral other countries, including Canada, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Australia and Colombia, have legalized the so-called death with dignity.Last month, Britain's parliament voted to legalize assisted dying, although the bill must still clear the upper chamber of parliament.In the U.S., 11 states allow medical aid in dying: Delaware, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont and Washington. Lawmakers in some other states are considering similar legislation.Washington, D.C., also permits physician-assisted suicide.Reuters contributed to this report.0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 13 Views 0 Anteprima

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMKing Charles shatters 100 year-old royal tradition to usher in modern monarchy: expertsAfter more than 100 years, King Charles is changing the rules at Buckingham Palace.For the first time, players on the royal familys outdoor tennis court no longer have to follow the strict "almost entirely white" dress code, The Sunday Times reported. According to the outlet, the 76-year-old has relaxed the protocol, making tennis whites now "preferred" but "not essential" for players, including members of the royal family, household staff and their guests.Fox News Digital reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.KATE MIDDLETON REWRITES ROYAL PLAYBOOK, PUTS HERSELF FIRST IN UNPRECEDENTED MOVE: EXPERTSShannon Felton Spence, a former British public affairs official, told Fox News Digital that the king has been determined to modernize the monarchy, making it fresh and relevant for today's public."King Charles is a very progressive-thinking man," said Felton Spence. "He has been his entire life, always looking forward and trying to build for the future. He has made it his mission to reshape a monarchy fit for the purpose today and tomorrow, while keeping the cultural relevancy that grounds the institution. These initiatives are good news and should be celebrated."British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital that its one of many changes the busy king has been making. She pointed out that Buckingham Palace announced on July 3 that the Royal Train, whose history dates back to Queen Victoria, would end 156 years of service. The palace shared its too costly to operate and would require a significant upgrade to accommodate more advanced rail systems."The Royal Train is no longer," said Fordwich. "Other changes have included lowering the temperature of the palace swimming pool to reduce energy consumption and other updates to palace amenities.""King Charles has previously broken many royal customs, including changes to ceremonial duties, the public displays of affection, and, in general, many public engagement styles," she shared. "His direct engagement in political lobbying has not been well received and has been most ill-advised."The dress code upgrade is significant for the king, who is known for his formal wear. According to the outlet, Charles is rarely seen in jeans or sneakers. However, he wanted his staff and guests, in particular, to "feel less restricted by protocol."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"While the end of the all-white tennis dress code at Buckingham Palace might seem somewhat minor, its a significant and rather symbolic step by King Charles to modernize the monarchy, making royal life more approachable and less bound by rigid traditions," Fordwich explained.Fordwich noted that the fashion rule was originally put in place when the court was built in 1919 during King George Vs reign. According to the Royal Collection Trust, its recognized as "Londons most exclusive tennis court." The Sunday Times noted that its located in "a shady area of the palaces 40-acre garden.""It has always been a hallmark of royal sporting etiquette," Fordwich shared. "Players, including royals, staff and guests, may not wear colored clothing... Its so sad to see yet another tradition abandoned."Its noted that for Charless ancestors, sweat was considered unsightly, and colorful clothing showed it off more than white ensembles.Felton Spence noted that we can expect the king to continue bending the rules."Protocol are simply unofficial rules adopted through tradition. They started somewhere," she said.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSRoyal commentator Amanda Matta also told Fox News Digital that Charless latest move may have been a quiet one, but its message was loud and clear."It might seem like a minor change, but in royal circles, even a small dress code modification says a lot," Matta explained. "By easing up on the all-white rule for tennis at Buckingham Palace, King Charles is continuing his quiet push to modernize the monarchy. This modernization will not be through big pronouncements, but with subtle shifts.""The all-white rule dates back to Victorian ideas about formality and appearance, and changing it shows that Charles is willing to let go of traditions that feel outdated," she shared. "Its also a practical move. This isnt Wimbledon, after all, and the court is used by family, guests, and even palace staff, so relaxing the rules makes sense. I'm expecting (and excited for) more of these small tweaks throughout Charles' reign!"Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital that Charles isnt the only one looking to dust off the monarchys rigid rules. Kate Middleton made her fashion first by wearing Christian Dior on July 8 for the start of the French state visit. According to the outlet, the 43-year-olds style choice was aimed at showing sartorial diplomacy. Her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, was known to be a muse for the French fashion brand."There have been many arguments recently allegedly about fashion styles," said Turner. "It is known that as soon as she is seen in a new outfit, it is sold out in minutes. Such is the demand to emulate her."Royal photographer Chris Jackson, author of "Charles III: A King and His Queen," previously told Fox News Digital that Charless personal style has always shared important messages about his prized causes."Hes got this beautiful Aston Martin that runs on biofuel, which is surplus wine and cheese whey, which is pretty incredible," Jackson said. "Hes obviously very passionate about the environment, [and] hes got this beautiful car, a DB6 Volante Aston Martin, thats environmentally friendly."The king, who has been a longtime advocate of sustainable living, bought the car in 1970. He converted it to run on biofuels, which use ethanol created from cheese-making whey and wine. He loaned his beloved vehicle to his son Prince William, who used it to drive Kate from their nuptials in 2011.WATCH: KING CHARLES ASTON MARTIN, WHICH RUNS ON WINE AND CHEESE, PAYS HOMAGE TO JAMES BOND: ROYAL PHOTOGRAPHERThe kings cousin, Lord Snowdon, once joked, "How does [the former] Prince Charles drive his Aston Martin? Caerphilly."Daily Mail reporter Robert Hardman, author of "The Making of a King," also previously told Fox News Digital that Charles is known for sharing "coded messages" by using his ties."His favorite has a little T-Rex motif on it," said Hardman. "I thought, Thats a bit odd. I keep seeing this tie with a dinosaur on it Of course, his cipher says, C. Rex, Charles Rex. So, I think hes having a little joke about being king with his tie. But hes in a good place. Hes a happy monarch."0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 13 Views 0 Anteprima

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMParents believe daughter who vanished from cruise ship 27 years ago is still aliveIts been 27 years since Amy Bradley went missing, and her father, Ron Bradley, still makes sure to keep her car shiny and filled up with gas, waiting for her return."We flew down to Virginia and sat with her parents to have a nice meal," filmmaker Ari Mark told Fox News Digital."Her car is ready to go. The bag that she took with her on that [fateful] cruise is still sitting in her room. You still see the exact change she was carrying. You still see all her belongings. Her photos are everywhere. You get the sense that shes still alive in that house."NEW PERSON OF INTEREST EMERGES IN DOCUMENTARY ON DECADES-OLD DISAPPEARANCE OF IOWA NEWS ANCHORThe Bradleys strongly believe that their daughter could still be alive and a victim of international sex trafficking. Theyre speaking out in a Netflix documentary, "Amy Bradley Is Missing," in hopes that anyone with leads will come forward. Some who claimed to have seen Bradley over the years also shared their accounts in the film."Its been 27 years, and in those 27 years, there have been probably 12 twists and turns that occurred that I could think of," Mark explained. " And it wasnt until I met the Bradley family that it felt urgent. It felt like something needed to be done right now.""The sightings [being shared in the film] are extremely significant," Mark shared. " The sightings allow viewers, the family and law enforcement to believe that Amy could be out there. It keeps the case fresh, and her story going. It keeps the leads coming, that somebody may have possibly seen something. New questions are raised."In March 1998, Bradley, then 23, went on a Royal Caribbean International cruise with her family. It was supposed to be a seven-day tropical adventure. She had recently graduated and was eager to pursue a masters degree in sports psychology. According to the documentary, she had just adopted a bulldog and had a new apartment.In a celebratory mood, Bradley was seen dancing at the Rhapsody of the Seas nightclub with her brother Brad. In the early morning hours of March 24, the siblings returned to their family suite. There, Ron saw his daughter sleeping on the cabins balcony.About half an hour later, as the ship was heading towards Curaao, Bradley went missing. Her shoes were left behind.FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON XDespite an extensive search, Bradley wasnt found. The cruise resumed its scheduled stops before returning to Puerto Rico on March 28.Netherlands Antilles Coast Guard Lt. Sjoerd Soethout told reporters that Bradley may have fallen from the balcony, The Associated Press reported. According to the outlet, an FBI spokeswoman said the agency had "no evidence of foul play."Ron and Iva Bradley filed two lawsuits against Royal Caribbean in 1999, claiming the cruise line was negligent in how it handled the disappearance of their daughter. At the time, the cruise line issued a statement, stating they acted "appropriately and responsibly at all times." Both lawsuits were dismissed in 2000.Fox News Digital reached out to a spokesperson for Royal Caribbean for a comment about the documentary.Over the years, there have been numerous theories about what happened to Bradley. Some speculated that Bradley had fallen overboard and drowned. Others wondered whether she took her life. But as shown in the film, the family are adamant that she was possibly taken against her will.SIGN UP TO GET THE TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTERIn 2005, an anonymous tipster sent the family disturbing images of a woman from an adult website based in the Caribbean. She had long, voluminous hair, appeared aged and wore heavy makeup as she posed provocatively. She appeared to be positioned in a way that notable markings, such as a tattoo of a Tasmanian Devil spinning a basketball, wouldnt be visible.While the woman was listed as "Jas," Iva believed it could have been her daughter."Just imagine getting a photo like that of your kid," said Mark. "I know that it devastated the Bradley family, but at the same time, it offered a little glimmer of possibility that Amys alive. I think there is that bittersweet reaction there."It also deepens the mystery. Is there anything in the background we can focus on to determine the location? Is there even the slightest detail that would give law enforcement something to go on?"" [Investigators] did check out that escort service," Mark continued. "They did send someone on the ground to see if they could find anything that resembled that photo or find employees of that website. They gave it a good try [But], do the features match? I think thats up to the audience to decide. Ultimately, its pretty compelling."Filmmaker Phil Lott told Fox News Digital that the family had a forensic detective to analyze the photos. Jaw lines, ear shapes and eye placement were compared.GET REAL-TIME UPDATES DIRECTLY ON THE TRUE CRIME HUB"Theres a very significant degree of Im not going to say certainty, but theres a degree of belief that this photograph does represent a potential version of Amy as an older lady," he said.There were also alleged sightings.In the documentary, tourist Judy Maurer claimed that she had seen a woman believed to be Bradley in a Barbados restroom. Maurer alleged that three men had escorted the woman in question away. A Canadian named David Carmichael also believed that he may have spotted Bradley "flanked by two people" while visiting Curaao. Similarly, a Navy veteran, Bill Hefner, claimed he may have seen a distressed Bradley at a bar in Curaao."If Judy Maurer hadnt seen Amy in a Barbados bathroom, we wouldnt be asking questions about why the hell Amy was in Barbados," said Mark. " But the testimony of these witnesses, I think, will convince anybody that what those people saw was real."The documentary also explores how, on specific birthdays and holidays, traffic to the familys tips website appears to spike up in the same geographical area where Bradley supposedly had been spotted, The Hollywood Reporter shared.Still, there isnt enough evidence to detain or charge anyone with kidnapping. In 2017, the FBI shared age-progressing photos of Bradley in hopes it would spark new leads.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPTJ Ward, a private investigator hired by Natalee Holloways family in 2005 and again in 2010, told Fox News Digital that its crucial to go back to the very beginning."One of the things that needs to be looked at is the employees on the boat," said Ward, who didnt participate in the documentary. "You need to find out about the people who worked on that boat. . . . They would have a lot more flexibility in hiding somebody or taking somebody without anybody knowing it."WATCH: NATALEE HOLLOWAY FAMILY PI DISCUSSES MURDER CASE 20 YEARS LATER"That would be one of the first people that I would look at conducting an investigation," he added.Bradley was spotted hanging out with Alastair "Yellow" Douglas, a member of the ships band. In the film, he is seen dancing with Bradley hours before her disappearance.While his daughter, Amica Douglas, confronted him in a telephone call, as shown in the film, the FBI found no evidence to charge him. Douglas has also vehemently denied any involvement with Bradley's disappearance."Amica was initially hesitant to go on camera," said Mark. " Ultimately, Amica realized that this tragedy had impacted her family in a way that feels almost irreparable. She has been harassed, and her family name has been thrown all around the internet. She wants to get to the bottom of this as much as anyone else. And she has real empathy for the Bradley family.""And look, theres no a-ha moment," he stressed. "I think it does reveal the fraught relationship Amica has with her father. . . We also wanted to give Alastair Douglas a chance to say his piece, which I believe he did."He feels like, Im a nobody. Im just a guy from the Caribbean, a hardworking person on a cruise ship. And all of a sudden, Im being not only questioned by the FBI, but unfairly vilified by the internet.'"3 CHILLING TRUE CRIME CASES OF WOMEN WHO WENT ON VACATION AND NEVER RETURNEDThe filmmakers hope that a renewed interest in the case will finally bring the family answers."This is so urgent and pressing for the family," said Mark. "We both felt the urgency of the family that every single minute is a minute that Amys not home."Anyone with information about Bradley is asked to contact their local FBI office or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 29 Views 0 Anteprima

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMHow the deadly Camp Mystic flash flood is transforming summer camp safety protocols across AmericaCamp directors across the country have put their safety plans under the microscope after the deadly July 4 flash floods in Kerrville, Texas killed 27 campers and left over 100 missing.The tragic flash flooding in the Texas Hill Country at Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian camp in Kerrville, Texas, is causing summer camps across the U.S. to reevaluate their emergency preparedness plansespecially for extreme weather threats.The camp was situated near the Guadalupe River. At least 134 people are confirmed dead across Texas as search and rescue efforts continue.Roger Dunn, Camp Director at the Coldstream Christian Camp in Adams, Tennessee, said the Texas flooding taught him that conditions can change in a matter of minutes."Flooding for us isn't necessarily the risk, but tornadoes, straight-line winds, that type of thing, absolutely, that is a threat for us," Dunn said.The nearest warning sirens are too far away to help because camp staff cant hear them. Dunn is training counselors to monitor the weather more accurately, and to use newly added walkie talkies in their cabins to stay in touch in case of an emergency in the overnight hours.TEXAS FLOOD SURVIVORS LOOK FOR GID IN FACE OF TRAGEDY"We're using our weather apps. We're constantly in contact with local officials if there's anything severe that is happening," Dunn said. "I know the City of Adams is working on getting an alert system expanded in town I believe once they get the rest of it put in, then we should be able to hear it."Officials are investigating Camp Mystic officials to see whether they received and responded to flash flood warnings before the disaster. The incident has caused questions over how camps assess and act on fast-moving weather threats.Dunn says he reviews his camps safety plans annually, which is something the American Camp Association recommends."Part of the risk assessment takes into consideration any location-specific concerns and any location-specific weather events that might occur," Henry DeHart, ACA Interim President and CEO, said.NEW QUESTIONS RAISED ABOUT WHETHER CAMP MYSTIC DIRECTOR SAW FLOOD WARNING ALERTThe ACA has accredited more than 2,300 camps across the country. The organization expects more camps to go through their accreditation process in the Fall in light of the Texas floods.If parents have concerns about a camps safety protocols, DeHart encourages them to ask camp directors directly."We've created a resource for camps to help them think through the best way to communicate with parents, knowing that parents were going to have these questions," DeHart said."As a camp director, I encourage them to ask questions," Dunn said. "Ask questions about safety, what you have in place. Ask questions about any type of emergency procedures. I want their minds and their hearts to be at ease."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe ACA said camps should act immediately, and that they should use the offseason, when children are in school, to make more adjustments to the safety plans.0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 14 Views 0 Anteprima
