Portugal’s Correio da Manhã identified the father as Trevor Pelling, a U.K. national working as a financial consultant in Dubai. The father was dragged out of the water by surfers at around 2:30 p.m. local time on Thursday. He was reported to have gone into the water to keep his daughters, aged 9 and 12, from being swept away. The children were reported to have faced trouble in a strong current while swimming at the beach in Mafra, just north of Ericeira, a town on the west coast of Portugal....

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said in a tweet on Monday that the incident occurred “just after midnight” at a residence that was located on Feather Creek Drive. Shortly after the family pulled into their driveway, the two 16-year-old suspects “walked up to their SUV, and opened a rear door where their 1-yr-old was,” Gonzalez said. As the two suspects attempted to enter the vehicle, the father shot at them while his children were in their car seats, according to local news station KTRK....

Speaking on the one year anniversary that the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus a pandemic, Fauci said he believes “divisiveness” and “mixed messages” led to more than 500,000 deaths across the U.S. “One of the things I keep harkening back to, that you can’t run away from, is that we had such divisiveness in our country that even simple common sense public health measures took on a political connotation,” he told NBC’s Today....

“You know that metaphor that people say, ‘If you’re going for a touchdown, don’t spike the ball at the 5-yard line. Wait until you get into the end zone,’” Fauci told NBC News’ Chuck Todd during an appearance on the network’s Meet the Press program Sunday morning. Noting the inclination to lift public health orders aimed at curbing transmission of the respiratory disease, in response to a general downturn in daily diagnoses, the expert warned, “We’re not in the end zone yet....

What Is a FAX File? A file with the FAX file extension is an image of a fax, usually in the TIFF format. It’s used by some fax software and makes it easy for recipients to view the fax. Some FAX files might instead be templates created with the Now Contact software. These files provide a layout for a fax document (an .NWP file) and may include options already loaded for the document, which is useful if you’re creating several similarly formatted documents....

For the holiday season, Raven Software attempted to add some lighthearted fun to Call of Duty Warzone, and even that caused a number of problems. Warzone’s Festive Fervor update began causing crashes for a number of players as soon as enemy NPC Krampus appeared on the map to begin hunting someone. On top of that, the folkloric entity will sometimes be invisible, blocking player movement and killing them seemingly out of nowhere....

Wray was on Capitol Hill on Tuesday morning to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee about congressional oversight of the FBI. Wray’s hearing was considered a preview of what former special counsel Robert Mueller is likely to face when he appears before lawmakers on Wednesday to answer questions on the Russia probe. The FBI director told lawmakers that he considered “homegrown violent extremists” to be the greatest threat to the United States....

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced the arrest warrant for Laundrie in a statement issued Thursday. The warrant was issued by the U.S. District Court of Wyoming, the FBI’s Denver office said. “While this warrant allows law enforcement to arrest Mr. Laundrie, the FBI and our partners across the country continue to investigate the facts and circumstances of Ms. Petito’s homicide,” FBI Denver Special Agent in Charge Michael Schneider said in a Thursday news release....

Scorer(s): Michael Lang 89' Basel pulled off an upset in Group A as they pipped United with a late, late, goal that saw them gain the upper hand against CSKA Moscow in the battle for 2nd place - and continued participation in the world’s premier football tournament. Manchester United, though, are as good as through to the next stage, and they are almost certain to top the group. In fact, it would take a Basel victory and a 4-0 thrashing by CSKA, at Old Trafford may I add, to stop United topping the group…....

On Thursday, the agency sent letters to two websites involved in the sale or marketing of such products, instructing them to remove claims about the false efficacy of any compound against COVID-19. There are “no drugs or other therapeutics presently approved” to combat COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to the FDA, McEvoy promoted zinc supplements on his website through the associates program, suggesting that purchasing them would be “extremely wise, especially in these coronavirus times” because of their “immune-boosting efforts....

Now the FDA must determine whether they will proceed with approving the drug. The committee of experts will convene through an online conferencing platform on November 6, but background materials and pre-recorded presentations will be available to the public at least two business days beforehand, according to the FDA. The FDA has also established a docket where members of the public can write in with data, information, and views. Amit Sachdev, MD, medical director in the department of neurology at Michigan State University, tells Verywell the expert panel is “a standard part of the approval process....

Marseille will take on Atletico Madrid in the Europa League final on May 16 at Lyon Stadium, and club officials fear Marseille supporters will use the trip to trash their venue. Both sides are fighting in the French league for a Champions league berth, and tensions between them are at their highest level in years. In March, players from both teams clashed at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille after Memphis Depay scored in the last minute of a frantic match to give Lyon a 3-2 win....

It was a tie in the delegate race, with the Obama camp claiming a slim 14-delegate lead and Team Clinton citing an even smaller spread of five or six. It was a tie in the popular vote at 7.3 million ballots apiece. And it was a tie in the state-by-state sweepstakes: while Obama took more golds (14 to Clinton’s eight), the former First Lady captured New York, New Jersey, California, Arizona and Massachusetts–nearly all the big battlegrounds....

In addition to this month’s faves, like the Sony LinkBuds wireless earbuds, there are a few mini reviews for products that either haven’t been used long enough for a full write-up or could be summed up in fewer words than usual. The Hoka Kawana running shoes, for example, are probably my favorite daily running shoes so far, but I would like to put some more miles on them before fully evaluating them....

The lawsuit accuses the city of harming local business owners by allowing the existence of Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP), a self-declared autonomous zone that was established and occupied by racial justice protestors from June 8 to July 1. The occupied zone blocked all car traffic, reducing the businesses’ access to customers, vendors and revenue, the lawsuit says. The lawsuit further alleges that city police largely neglected the zone, allowing protesters and others to damage business property and threaten business owners without punishment....

Dana Nessel told MSNBC that forgery charges, as part of a failed Republican strategy to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory in the state, were being considered in the case which has been referred to the U.S. attorney’s office for the Western District of Michigan. “We think this is a matter that is best investigated and potentially prosecuted by the Feds,” Nessel told The Rachel Maddow Show on Thursday. In a statement to Newsweek, the Michigan GOP called the matter a “political prosecution of convenience....

The Blues soar into this game as the firm favourites. They’ve already registered a narrow but gritty 3-2 win over Shillong Lajong in their opening group fixture. Albert Roca’s men will also be buoyed by their tremendous record over their opponents on the day. Having last played the Pune-based side on 22nd April, the former I-League champions consigned the Reds to the heaviest defeat in their short I-League history....

You have quite an extended streaking scene. You do any gluteal workouts in preparation? I did nothing. When you have certain physical gifts, I think you should share them. I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of this body. How many takes did you do? We were out there a good couple of hours. The street they chose to do it on had these storefronts. All of them were closed for the night except this 24-hour fitness place, and all the treadmills were up against the window....
