These futuristic cars will blow your mind. We might be many years away from Jetson-style flying cars, but the cars of the future will still be pretty cool   at least if these concept cars are any indication. Many are autonomous, and those that aren't feature impressive artificial intelligence capabilities that can react to a driver's habits and even mood. Most are electric, pointing to a zero-emission future for the automobile world. And luxury reaches new levels with the cars of tomorrow, with lounge-like interiors, panoramic roofs, widescreen displays and aromatherapy features. Many of these concept cars will never go into production, but there are a few dream cars you might actually be able to drive one day. Keep reading to see what the future of automobiles will look like. GFG Style Kangaroo Introduced: 2019 L egendary car designer Giorgetto Giugiaro and his son revealed this fully electric vehicle design in March 2019.

Its look is based on Japanese design and architecture, with creases throughout the body that are inspired by origami. Its interior is lounge-like, with an open atmosphere, a handcrafted quilted leather backseat and ambient lighting inspired by the colors of a Japanese spring. Like the Q Inspiration, the QX Inspiration will not go into production, but rather indicates the direction of Infiniti's future lineup of crossover vehicles, Motor Trend reported. Mercedes-Benz Concept EQV Introduced: 2019 The Mercedes-Benz Vans concept vehicle has all the bells and whistles people have come to expect of the brand with a battery-electric drive.

The Lagonda Vision Concept takes advantage of the latest advances in electrification and autonomous driving, and it's shorter and lower than traditional limousines thanks to the placement of the batteries at the floor of the car. Although modern, the car remains luxurious with a unique interior that utilizes premium materials not typically found in cars, like cashmere, silk and hand-woven wool. Fully able to drive itself in all routine circumstances and on recognizable roads, the car features a steering wheel that can retract entirely, allowing the driver to turn the seat around to face backseat passengers. As for the power of its battery, it's able to travel up to 400 miles on a single charge. Aston Martin plans to begin production of the Lagonda Vision Concept in 2021. Chevrolet eCOPO Camaro Concept Introduced: 2018 Chevrolet introduced the eCOPO Camaro Concept 50 years after the original COPO Camaro special order performance models, and this new version represents an electrified vision for drag racing. The electric motor of this race car provides more than 700 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque.

Canada began their 2019 Women's World Cup with a narrow 1-0 win over Cameroon on Monday night, kicking off the race to top Group E ahead of European champions Netherlands. It was a single goal from centre-back Kadeisha Buchanan, who plays her club football for Lyon and was named Young Player of the Tournament at the last World Cup, that decided the game. And while it was slender margin of victory, Canada were never under much pressure. This is a team that hasn't really been mentioned as a contender for the World Cup in the same way as the four countries ahead of them in the FIFA World Rankings - USA, Germany, England, France - or even as a dark horse contender like those a little lower like Australia and Japan. Of those two potential dark horses, Australia lost their opening game, while Japan failed to break down Argentina - a country that had previously lost all six of its World Cup fixtures. But based on this opening Canadian performance and result, as well as the form they have brought with them to France, dismissing them reaching the latter stages would be foolish. Canada are not the most exciting team on show, far from it. But what they are is well set up to do well in tournament football, keeping clean sheets and grinding out results. #CAN are so 1-0 #FIFAWWC   Jamie Spencer (@jamiespencer155) June 10, 2019 Cameroon, while always the underdog in the contest, still had the potential to cause problems with pace and fearlessness. But Canada dominated possession (74-26) and limited their opponent to just four shots in 90 minutes - none of which were on target. Arguably, a more clinical performance would have resulted in a bigger win after 16 attempts on goal, and four on target. In veteran captain Christine Sinclair, who is just four goals away from setting a new international world record , they have someone capable of scoring at any time. And when you don't concede, one goal is all you need to get the win. Marshalled by the incredible Buchanan, Canada's clean sheet was their ninth in 2019, in just 10 games. They are unbeaten during that time and the only goal against them this year was scored by Nigeria in April. England, Sweden and Norway have all failed to find the net, as have Spain - a talented and technical team - and a Scotland side with a potent attacking lineup. Canada also appear to travel well. Unlike the United States, who play the majority of their games on American soil and thrive off home advantage but perform less admirably away , Canada have played just three times at home in two years and have recorded positive results on the road. That impressive 1-0 win over England in April came in front of a sell-out partisan crowd in Manchester. The clean sheet against Sweden, in Portugal, and the win over Norway, in Spain. FT! Canada earn 3 points against Group E opponents Cameroon. 45' Kadeisha Buchanan #CAN 1:0 #CMR #CANWNT #TogetherWeRise #DareToShine #CANCMR  pic.twitter.com/mo8EJ920zV   Canada Soccer (@CanadaSoccerEN) June 10, 2019 Canada will be expected to win against New Zealand in their next Group E game, and a good indicator of their level will come against the Dutch. That should decide who tops the standings and will be a battle between Canada's defensive strength and Dutch attacking prowess. The way the knockout bracket could pan out, it is not unfeasible to see Canada reach the World Cup semi finals for only the second time, matching their best ever performance from 2003. If things go their way and they prove to be as resilient as they have been, they could go even further.

The U.S. Women's National Team's World Cup victory earlier this week galvanized the nation along both sports and political lines, and naturally, Washington has taken notice. Two U.S. senators   Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.)   have used the team's "equal pay" mantra to push for a hearing on the matter. The senators have asked the chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation to hold a hearing on pay disparities between men's and women's sports in the United States . "The gender pay gap is not just limited to soccer   it spans many sports in the United States," the senators wrote in a letter to Sen. Roger Wicker (D-Miss.). "A hearing would afford a timely opportunity for the Committee to recognize the importance of protecting and empowering athletes   while also examining the troubling pay disparities that have been highlighted in recent weeks." The United States women stormed to an emphatic victory in the World Cup, defending their 2015 championship and establishing themselves as one of the all-time great teams in American history. But the fact that the women were paid substantially less than their male World Cup and USMNT counterparts has drawn calls for a resolution to the difference in pay between male and female athletes. The senators' letter lays out a series of justifications for the hearings: USWNT players earned only 38 percent of what the men's teams earned in prior years, despite the fact that the women's team generated $900,000 more in revenue from fiscal years 2016 to 2018, according to the Washington Post. The U.S. Women's Hockey Team received $1,000 per month during their six-month Olympic residency period, and even threatened to boycott the 2018 Winter Olympics, where they won gold. The maximum veteran player salary in the WNBA was $115,000 last season, while NBA players earn a minimum of $582,180. While all four Grand Slam tennis tournaments now pay equal purses   Wimbledon, just this year   women earn only 80 cents for every dollar of men at other tournaments. Women golfers earn a share of a $70 million purse in prize money from the LPGA, about one-fifth of what men receive from the PGA Tour. Prize money vs. revenue Any hearing would have to wrestle with the uncomfortable   for proponents of equal pay   argument that many women's sports simply don't bring in the same revenue as men's sports. The NBA and the PGA Tour dwarf the women's equivalents on a revenue basis. The total prize money for this year's Women's World Cup was $30 million, compared with $440 million at the 2022 Men's World Cup in Qatar. But the disparity is a result of the total projected revenue   the men's World Cup will generate an estimated $6 billion in revenue against $131 million for the women's tournament. At events where both male and female participants draw from the same pot   say, tennis tournaments   the need for equal pay is obvious and long overdue. But it's tougher to mount an apples-to-apples equal-pay argument when considering other sports, where attendance, sponsorship and broadcast agreements differ, often by orders of magnitude. It's the difference between, say, a server at a sports bar and a server at a high-end steakhouse   both are putting in equal work, but 20 percent of a sports bar tab is going to be far less than 20 percent of a leather-slipcovered steakhouse bill. The Commerce committee has held hearings on sports issues in the past; the senators point out that matters such as sexual abuse in Olympic sports and opioid abuse have come before Congress. Wicker's office has not yet signaled an intention in either direction to hold the hearings. ____ Jay Busbee is a writer for Yahoo Sports.

DECATUR, Ga. (CBS46) -- Nearly two months have passed since Ronald Peters was fatally shot in Decatur. Now, DeKalb County Sheriffs believe they have a third suspect connected to the hate-related crime in custody. Nineteen-year-old Tyreese T. Johnson was arrested in Lithonia on July 31. He is charged with felony murder and armed robbery for allegedly shooting Peters and robbing him of his belonging as life poured from his body. Johnson is being held at DeKalb County Jail. Two other suspects were also arrested in connection to the fatal shooting. On July 26, Shaleeya Nicole Moore, 18, was arrested in Statesboro, and on June 5, 21-year-old Joshua Cortez Ellis was arrested in Stockbridge.


The city by the bay is bracing for a brand new tech boom triggered by a rebound of initial public offerings, partly driven by the rising stock market and rebound in the U.S. economy. Levi's, Lyft and Pinterest kicked off the IPO renaissance earlier this year and now investors will soon be clamoring for Uber, Airbnb, Slack, and PostMates, big-name startups with plans to raise hundreds of billions of dollars in their initial public offerings. While Main Street investors get a fresh crack at new stocks to invest in, the deals also mean big paydays for employees who can cash in their stock options. By one estimate, the Bay Area could see up to 10,000 newly minted millionaires with money to spend on everything from luxury cars to lavish parties to real estate. In San Francisco, already one of the most expensive cities in the world, the median home prices averaging $1.35 million, per Zillow, nearly double the average five years earlier. Related : UBER, PINTEREST, ZOOM, SLACK IPOS HAVE SAN FRANCISCO BRACING FOR NEW TECH BOOM Even so, some experts say that could soon look like a bargain in a city already struggling with a shortage of affordable housing. "Over the next five years, I expect rent prices and home prices to appreciate at least 50 percent. One hundred percent is also plausible. And we're looking at a much more expensive city," said Deniz Kahramaner, real estate agent and founder of Data Bay Area. This tech boom comes just a few years after the explosive growth of companies like Apple, Google and Facebook saw the gentrification of middle-class neighborhoods, where longtime tenants were suddenly priced out. Charter buses that shuttled tech workers to and from Silicon Valley became a symbol of income equality. The city's chronic homeless problem and worsening traffic continue to vex government officials and residents. San Francisco Supervisor Gordon Mar has proposed a new payroll tax on companies going public to offset the possible negative impacts of this infusion of wealth. "We have the highest income gap and highest housing costs in the nation," Mar said. "These crises are intertwined, and they didn't happen by accident. Over the last decade, we have seen an incredible amount of wealth flood this city   wealth concentrated in the hands of too few, as our middle-class shrinks and our wealth gap grows." If approved by voters in November, Mar said the tax could generate up to $200 million in the first two years and pay for affordable housing. Critics contend more taxes will drive businesses out of the city. Meantime, many Uber drivers are angry they're not sharing in more of the wealth. On May 8, drivers in half a dozen U.S. cities plan to shut off their app for 12 hours to protest wages and benefits. Some drivers say they earn less than minimum wage after expenses. In addition to the blackout, hundreds of drivers are expected to take up pickets at Uber headquarters in downtown San Francisco, two days before the company goes public in what's expected to be one of biggest tech IPO's ever. But don't expect a buying binge immediately. Analysts said employees will have to wait out an initial lock-up period, which restricts certain shareholders from cashing out too quickly before they can cash in, so it could be at least a year before the impact of all these IPO payouts makes it from Wall Street to Market Street.


Dana White joins UFC Tongiht to discuss Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier, UFC's exciting 2015 and more.


After missing the first week of Jacksonville Jaguars training camp, a majority of organized team activities and all of minicamp, defensive end Yannick Ngakoue is expected to report to training camp by Tuesday . Once that happens, he'll end a long contract holdout that lingered through the summer and will be able to accrue a season towards becoming an unrestricted free-agent in 2020. Though he's expected to report, if he doesn't, Ngakoue would be forced to become a restricted free-agent in 2020 due to the collective bargaining agreement, which means the Jags would be able to match any offer given to Ngakoue by any of the league's other 31 teams. This offseason both pass rushers Frank Clark and DeMarcus Lawrence received five-year deals worth over $100 million in totality and over $62 million in guarantees. Needless to say, after witnessing both receive big-time pay days while on the last year of his rookie contract, Ngakoue elected to hold out to get his due, too. There still appears to be a chance for an extension, but it appears Ngakoue and his camp are looking for a long-term deal, while the Jags reportedly were shooting for a short-term deal. That said, fans will have to wait to see of both sides can find common ground. Since being drafted by the Jags in 2016, Ngakoue has racked up 81 tackles and 29.5 sacks and has been a key part of the Jags' defensive success. Considering that, it might be wise for the Jags to pony up the money for Ngakoue as he appears to be a franchise pass rusher at just 24 years of age.

Say whaaat?! Before we hit the pool or shore this summer, we're taking a look back at how the swimsuit has evolved through the years. From wool shorts to corsets, this might be what you need to appreciate your faithful one-piece or bikini. Starting in the 1910s and ending with the latest (retro-inspired!) looks in 2019 , you can see just how much the swimsuit has evolved over the past 100 years. 1910s: A Lot of Material 100 years ago, swimsuits were practically unrecognizable to the modern eye. Bloomers, skirts, sleeves and stockings are the look for women. Though it is a lot to wear, know this: These garments are actually more body-conscious than those worn in previous years . RELATED: 15 Cheap Swimsuits That Are So Perfect for Summer 1920s: Body-Conscious Silhouettes We start to see the modern one-piece silhouette come into play, with a more streamlined look and a dash of whimsy (like the striped detail). One thing that's still a holdover of older swimwear trends are the shoes worn , designed to protect the wearer from seashells and rocks.

RELATED: These Women Are Here to Remind You to Just Put on the Swimsuit 1930s: The New Look Hello, legs! The leg is cut even higher in the 1930s, while stylistic trends (like bows and collars) expand swimwear choices.

Here, sunglasses and cute sandals complete the ensemble for one Florida trendsetter. 1936: High-End Materials In this era of swimwear, new synthetic fabrics and wool were common. However, very high-end swimsuits (like this one worn by film star Ida Lupino) could be found that used touches of silk. Perhaps these were for posing only? RELATED: 35 Summer Drink Recipes That Totally Beat the Heat 1938: Sporty Swimsuit Unlike Ida's silk swimwear, some women demanded designs that were functional yet pretty. Such was the case for bodybuilder Relna Brewer, who modeled a halter bikini while ripping a phone book in half. 1940s: High Waists and Halters Though the skimpy bikini as we know it wouldn't be introduced until 1946 , some midriff-bearing designs could be seen on the market prior to that watershed moment. This simple halter and high-waisted combo was just one of those designs.

Meanwhile, women's swimwear sticks to the one-piece, often with a skirt effect over the thigh.

Oui, there is a bikini or two in the mix, but also a heavily corseted swimsuit with a star-spangled skirt. 1954: Fur Sure Fashion also went in an unwearable direction, with swimsuits made entirely of fur. 1950s: Metallic Mermaid Metallic lamé fabrics brought glamour to swimwear in this era. This very fabulous mermaid-inspired suit (the cups are shells!) was made out of the glittering material.

This one-piece is distinguished by bold gathered details on the back. 1980: Sporty Looks No, tankinis didn't debut in the '90s. These midriff-baring tops were paired with high-cut or string-style bottoms. 1983: Plunging Neckline Jamie Lee Curtis models another common look for swimwear of the '80s: Plunging necklines. 1980s: Color-Blocked Strong colors make the familiar high-leg '80s maillot pop poolside or the beach. 1994: Cutouts The high-cut legs of the '80s still were very much a part of '90s swimsuit fashion. Combined with cutout details, a one-piece could be just as risqué as a bikini. 1995: Buckle Up A timelessly flattering silhouette doesn't need much to look fabulous, but a skinny belt adds an unobtrusive detail. 1998: The Tankini Tankinis took off in the late '90s, whether it went in a high-fashion look with a squared neckline and boyshorts, or simple with a cami-style top and traditional bikini bottoms.

In 2013, tankinis were found to make up 29% of swimwear purchases. 2009: Sporty Chic Perhaps inspired by the 2008 Summer Olympics, sportier one-piece styles were one of the more popular looks during the later years of the first decade of the 2000s.

Dolphins General Manager Chris Grier said in April that safety Reshad Jones is going to be part of the team's roster in 2019, but he continues to stay away from the team this offseason. Grier was responding to a question about chatter regarding Jones' departure from Miami as part of the rebuilding effort that's been going on this year. Jones' absence from voluntary work this offseason did little quell that speculation and head coach Brian Flores said on Tuesday that the veteran won't be joining the team for Organized Team Activities. Flores said he's spoken to Jones, but declined to share any details other than that the safety is expected to be at mandatory minicamp next month. "We've had a few conversations . I'm going to keep those conversations between he and I," Flores said, via Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald . Jones is set to make just over $13 million this season and there would be little salary cap relief in the event the Dolphins decided to move on without him.


The Trump administration on Wednesday announced an investigation into the French government over its plans to implement a tax on technology companies. United States Trade Representative (USTR) Robert Lighthizer expressed concerns that the French digital tax could disproportionately affect American companies. "The President has directed that we investigate the effects of this legislation and determine whether it is discriminatory or unreasonable and burdens or restricts United States commerce," Lighthizer said in a statement . The French finance minister said in March that the country would impose a 3 percent tax on the annual revenues of technology companies that make at least 750 Euros annually and provide services to users in the country. The tax would affect multiple U.S. tech giants, including Apple, Google and Amazon. The USTR investigation could serve as a precursor to the implementation of tariffs or other trade measures against France at a time when President Trump has ignited trade disputes with other allies. The USTR will conduct the assessment under the authority of Section 301, the same provision that Trump has used to cite national security concerns in imposing steep tariffs on Chinese imports. Trump has faced criticism from Republicans and Democrats alike over his liberal use of tariffs as a negotiating tool. The U.S. and China have been engaged in a tit-for-tat trade dispute, and Trump has threatened Japan, Mexico and the European Union with tariffs over what he has deemed unfair trade relationships. But Wednesday's investigation was greeted with bipartisan support. Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said the French policy "unfairly targets American companies in a way that will cost U.S. jobs and harm American workers." Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas), the top Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee, said he backed the move from the Trump administration and called on France to scrap the measure altogether.


It's becoming quite clear why contract negotiations between the Houston Rockets and coach Mike D'Antoni broke down. The Rockets claimed on Thursday that D'Antoni had turned down an offer for $5 million a year, but the coach's agent, Warren LeGarie, stated that the true value of the offer was significantly less than that. "I'd like [to] clear up some inaccuracies that were stated about the offer made to Mike," LeGarie said, via Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle . "The reported $5 million is really $2.5 million because it comes with contingencies. One, it's only $5 million if he makes the playoffs and two, if he is coaching the team at the end of the year. "If they decide to fire Mike in the proverbial change of direction he gets $2.5 million. If there is an injury or a change in the roster construction, of which Mike has no control, he nonetheless would become a victim of it." LeGarie added that, while there is a $1 million bonus for each round of the playoffs Houston would reach, it does not kick in until the second round. Rockets GM Daryl Morey confirmed that this description of the offer was correct. Even at $5 million, that salary is lower than the going rate for other veteran coaches. A $2.5 million base salary would be laughably low for a coach of D'Antoni's caliber, and it explains why nothing got done, as the two sides are clearly very far apart. Yes, the Rockets will probably make the playoffs, but the coach can hardly be blamed for wanting more guaranteed money and security. The two sides will try again after next season , which is to be D'Antoni's last under his current deal. Related slideshow: Best of 2019 NBA playoffs (Provided by imagn)


12 sensors work with a camera to scan the road and automatically adjust the suspension accordingly. The 2020 Aviator is far from being the first production vehicle to feature an adaptive suspension that scans the road up ahead to preset the vehicle, but it is the first Lincoln to use this clever tech aiming to maximize comfort on all surfaces. Hot on the heels of last week's predictive suspension launch for the Audi A8 fullsize sedan, Ford's luxury SUV also utilizes a similar system. Research the Lincoln Aviator on MSN Autos How does it work? There are literally a dozen sensors permanently monitoring everything from the body's movement to the vehicle's motion while also keeping a close eye on whenever the Aviator accelerates or slows down. The highly advanced sensors can read the parameters 500 times per second and work together with a front-mounted camera that scans the road surface almost 50 feet (15.2 meters) ahead. Officially known as the Adaptive Suspension with Road Preview, the system can detect a variety of height deviations that are 2 to 8 inches (5.1 to 20.3 centimeters) high. Whenever it sees a height deviation such as a speed bump or a frost heave, the SUV's clever computers pre-adjust the suspension to ensure a ride as smooth as possible even on uneven surfaces. The built-in sensors and the front camera can work together to enable automatic suspension adjustments up to 100 times per second. Lincoln's vehicle dynamics technical specialist, David Russell, mentions the sensors are so fast that they trigger suspension adjustments faster than the blink of an eye with more than 23,000 inputs of data per second. The high-tech system is also good for detecting whenever an individual wheel is falling in a severe dip, and when that happens, the shock absorber is automatically stiffened to reduce the amount of drop. Get to Know The Aviator: 2020 Lincoln Aviator Videos Show The Luxury SUV In Detail 2020 Lincoln Aviator Lands In LA With Potent Plug-In Power [UPDATE] As you may recall, the 2020 Aviator is optionally available with an Air Glide Suspension for greater comfort by replacing the standard hard coil springs with air springs. As it is the case with the aforementioned Audi A8, the suspension lowers itself automatically when you're about to enter the vehicle or use the trunk. It also incorporates an Aero Height suspension preset maximizing efficiency and performance when going over 70 mph (113 kph) by lowering the ride height, while the Deep Conditions presets jacks up the suspension to the maximum for better ground clearance. Lincoln's shiny new three-row luxury SUV goes on sale this summer from $52,195 including fees, but go crazy with the configurator and you'll hit $91,145 for the fully loaded Aviator Black Label Grand Touring hybrid.

NORWALK, CT   In the end, after more than 30 years, it came down to a small amount of scrapings under a fingernail. Marc Karun, the former Norwalk man who police say sexually assaulted and strangled 11-year-old Kathleen Flynn to death in 1986 , gave police hair and DNA samples two years after the crime. But it took years and advances in forensics testing for his DNA to finally be linked to Flynn's murder, and for Karun to be arrested more than 30 years after the crime. How it came to that is a study in painstakingly detailed police work, persistence, dedication and the passion of one Norwalk police lieutenant and other members of the department   including one deceased former police chief and another former chief who is now the current mayor of the city   to see that justice was served. "We don't give up," said Norwalk Mayor Harry Rilling, the former police chief who was a lieutenant in the department when Flynn was murdered, during a news conference Tuesday . Kathleen Flynn was walking home from Ponus Ridge Middle School on the afternoon of Sept. 23, 1986, when she was abducted along her usual route on Hunters Lane, according to the Karun's arrest warrant. When she didn't get home at the usual time, her mother reported her missing. The next day in the woods near the school, about 158 feet from the walking path, her partially clothed body was discovered. The shocking crime shook the community "to its core," according to Rilling, and touched off an investigation that at various times consumed the entire police department under former Chief Carl LaBianca. Solving the murder became a passion of LaBianca's, Rilling said, part of the bittersweet legacy of the case because LaBianca did not get to see the investigation end; he died in late 2013. Flynn was strangled with some sort of rope or cord and her wrists were been bound. Whatever was used was removed from her body and the scene, but ligature marks were still visible. The medical examiner listed her cause of death "asphyxia due to ligature strangulation." Over the years, Norwalk police collected mounds of evidence in the case, generated reams of reports, conducted countless interviews, called for a myriad of tests to be run, and studied a host of other information. But it turned out that one of the first suspects in the case ended up being the man eventually accused. Karun became a suspect early on in the investigation because of a sexual assault he was accused of earlier that year that involved similar characteristics. Soon after news reports of Flynn's body being found, Norwalk police received "a plethora of calls" from people who wanted to report seeing "suspicious persons and suspicious vehicles" near the school on or prior to Sept. 23, 1986. One person reported her vehicle was nearly struck by another driver who sped out of the woods on the day Flynn disappeared. The vehicle was "an early 1970s, medium-green vehicle." The woman recalled seeing three white males in the vehicle, which turned out to be one of the early clues potentially linking Karun to the crime because he drove a "light green-silver metallic color car." The vehicles turned out to be different, but Karun cropped up on the Norwalk police radar because of a sexual assault he was accused of committing in the city in January of that year. In that crime, he was accused of threatening an 18-year-old woman at knifepoint and sexually assaulting her. During the attack, he bound her wrists with electrical wire. After releasing her, she reported the incident to police and he was charged with first-degree sexual assault and first-degree kidnapping. The charges eventually were reduced to fourth-degree sexual assault, in part because the woman later dated Karun, police said. Karun received a six-month executed sentence and two years probation. Norwalk police questioned Karun soon after the murder. He told investigators he visited the school a few days before the crime to see some teachers and a librarian, and he even walked along the same path that Flynn traveled. Karun attended the school as a child and was a graduate of Norwalk's Brien McMahon High School. But as for the 23rd, Karun said he was walking on Connecticut Avenue in Norwalk, half-heartedly looking for work because his parents had told him to find a job. He also told police that he did not know Flynn and did not commit the crime, but one of the detectives who interviewed him noted that while he was cooperative while speaking with them, he appeared "very nervous and apprehensive and smoked three cigarettes during the interview." He also could not account for his whereabouts on the afternoon Flynn disappeared. Though some Ponus Ridge Middle School teachers at the time remembered Karun as a student with "many serious problems," none of the staff saw him on Sept. 19, 1986, the day that he said he was there. Investigators collected hair samples from Karun from his arrest in January 1986 incident and compared them to evidence found on Flynn. While some of the evidence appeared to be from a Caucasian male, which Karun is, his hair did not directly match the evidence, in part because those types of tests had not yet reached the level of sophistication that tests are today. In the two years that followed, hair samples from other potential suspects were tested and came up negative. Then in June of 1988, Karun was accused of attacking a 41-year-old woman at knifepoint as she was out walking on Ponus Ridge Road in New Canaan. He surprised her as she walked by and asked her what road he was on, police said. After a brief exchange, he pulled out a knife, grabbed her and tried to drag her back to the car he borrowed, police said. As she screamed and tried to fight him off, a couple out walking saw the commotion and rushed toward them, according to police, and Karun got into the car and drove off. The victim and witnesses gave a description of the attacker and car, and Karun was picked up by police. He borrowed the car from his then-girlfriend. Karun was charged in that attack. That same year, he was accused by state police and Derby police of committing other attacks, with the one in Derby involving a sexual assault and kidnapping. During the same period, Norwalk police continued to submit hair samples for testing from Karun and other people of interest in the Flynn murder. All of them came up negative. Then in May of 1989, two women were kidnapped and sexually assaulted in Norwalk's Cranbury Park. They were both handcuffed and secured by a rope placed around their necks. The victims had been attacked by a man named Michael Franzese, who was arrested and charged. Franzese became a suspect in the Flynn murder, and initially some hair samples taken from him appeared to show similar characteristics with samples taken from Flynn. But ultimately, he was dismissed as a suspect because he was found to have been out of state at the time of the murder and his forensic profile did not match up. By then it was 1990, and some potential DNA evidence was discounted because it was stained. Years passed, and beginning in 1999, evidence was re-examined using newer forensic technologies, a slow and painstaking process that was done at a lab in Pennsylvania. Essentially, smaller and older pieces of evidence, and samples from victims and suspects, could be tested. So earlier suspects were able to be ruled out during the re-testing process, known as Mitochondrial DNA analysis. In 2002, the Flynn case was transferred from the Norwalk Police Detective Bureau to the department's Cold Case Unit where it was picked up by Lt. Art Weisgerber, the investigator who eventually shepherded the case to last week's arrest. By this time, Karun was a registered sex offender who served years in prison. Weisgerber began looking at him again as a suspect and obtained warrants for the re-examination of hair samples. Forensic testing continued to improve and slowly various items of Flynn's clothing was re-examined, and by 2010 the clothing and fingernail scrapings were tested for "touch" DNA. More suspects were ruled out, but Karun, while not being ruled in as the sole suspect, was not being ruled out. So Weisgerber began re-interviewing school staff, many of whom were retired and no longer residing in the area. By 2017, Karun was living in Maine. Norwalk police discovered that all of the old evidence and samples had been tested and re-tested, and a fresh sample from Karun was needed for new examination. A new warrant was obtained in Maine and DNA swabs were collected from Karun, and in new tests based on 31-year-old fingernail scrapings from Flynn, he "could not be eliminated as the source of the DNA." That evidence, combined with the "geographical profile, modus operandi and rituals" of the Flynn attack and others Karun was been accused of   and convicted of   committing led to his eventual arrest last week. The Norwalk Police Department has two detectives dedicated to cold cases, and in the past two years they have closed four such homicide cases with arrests, including the Flynn case, making the department one of Connecticut's best at resolving such cases. "Our department has a passion to solve such cases," said Norwalk Police Chief Thomas Kulhawik. "You have to be committed to the task, and we are." Marc Karun remains in police custody on a $5 million bond. His next scheduled court appearance is July 10 in Stamford Superior Court.


Carmelo Anthony remains an unsigned free agent. In theory there are plenty of teams that could use him as a bench scorer, but if Anthony could accept that role he'd still be a Rocket. So he is working out at his gym while his agent trying to hustle up the right gig for him next season. Chauncey Billups, a teammate of Anthony's in Denver and New York, was on SiriusXM NBA Radio in Las Vegas at the Summer League and gave an honest assessment of Anthony's career and why he isn't on a team now. Why isn't 'Melo in the league right now? @1mrbigshot shared his thoughts on his former teammate with @DarthAmin , @EvCoRadio , and @hoopscritic from #SummerLeague . pic.twitter.com/yFmSnv22gq   SiriusXM NBA Radio (@SiriusXMNBA) July 10, 2019 "I'll tell you what, it's so crazy   I feel bad for [Anthony], and here's why. 'Melo was like a good teammate, man. 'Melo practiced every day. He didn't miss any games. Now the only thing I will say   and I've even told 'Melo this   scoring 30 meant too much to 'Melo. It meant too much because he could have games where he had 20, 22 [points], we win the game and he's mad. He might have 36 and he's in there, you know, we lose the game and he's in there picking everybody up. Scoring 30 meant too much, but I think now you look, fast forward the tape, and the reason why he's not in the league because he's still worthy, is he hasn't mentally taken that step back to say, 'OK, I'll come in and play against back-ups. I'll try to help the team out. I know I might not be able to close, but I just want to help.' Well, he's not there yet." Billups, who has interviewed to be a GM in the league, sounded a lot like an NBA front office guy with that quote because ask teams about bringing in 'Melo and the answer is some variation of that same sentiment. His game is that of a scoring bench player at this point in his career, but that's not his mentality. It's not a role he will accept. If he doesn't, he will spend another season watching NBA games on League Pass like the rest of us.


BALTIMORE (AP) Albert Pujols homered twice to increase his total to 641, had three RBIs and scored three runs to help the Los Angeles Angels beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-2 Saturday. Shohei Ohtani had two hits and an RBI for Los Angeles in his fifth game this season. He's 4 for 21 since returning from the injured list following elbow surgery. Pujols hit a two-run drive in the first inning and a solo shot in the fourth. He also singled and scored in a three-run sixth that made it 6-2. Both home runs came against Dylan Bundy (1-5), who has yielded 11 long balls this season after serving up a major league-high 41 last year. Baltimore has allowed 83 homers - about 20 more than any other big league team. It was the 59th multihomer game of Pujols' career, the first since last July 12 against Seattle. The 39-year-old slugger is 19 home runs short of matching Willie Mays for fifth on the career list. His 2,003 RBIs rank third behind Alex Rodriguez (2,086) and Hank Aaron (2,297), and his three hits gave him 3,109 - tied for 21st with Dave Winfield. Matt Harvey started for Los Angeles and needed 93 pitches to get 12 outs. Luke Bard (1-1) followed with 1 2/3 scoreless innings. Dwight Smith Jr. hit a two-run homer for the Orioles, who went 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position and stranded 10. The last three innings were played in the rain before only a small portion of the announced crowd of 21,106. SURGING DAVIS Despite going 0 for 3 with a walk, Orioles first baseman Chris Davis is 17 for 58 (.293) with four homers and 14 RBIs in 20 games since starting the season 0 for 33. ''I just think he's got confidence now and is in a way better mindset to hit on a nightly basis,'' manager Brandon Hyde said. Davis said: ''I feel like I've made strides in the right direction really the last couple of weeks. ... Just really trying to see the ball and let it travel and put a good swing on it.'' ROSTER MOVE In a move involving right-handed relievers coming and going from Triple-A Norfolk, the Orioles optioned Evan Phillips and recalled Jimmy Yacabonis. ''We just felt like it was a good time for Evan to go down and work on a couple things,'' Hyde said of Phillips, who gave up two runs on Friday night and has a 7.11 ERA. TRAINER'S ROOM Angels: LHP Andrew Heaney (left elbow inflammation) is expected to make the second of three planned rehab starts in the next few days. ... Despite having four hits Friday night and owning a .390 lifetime batting average against Baltimore, Andrelton Simmons was rested until the eighth inning by manager Brad Ausmus. Orioles: LHP Richard Bleier (shoulder tendinitis) threw a shutout inning for Double-A Bowie on Friday and backed it up with a one-inning stint Saturday. He could be ready to join the team in a week or two, Hyde said. ... RHP Nate Karns (forearm tightness) is still a week to 810 days away from throwing. UP NEXT Angels: After earning his first career major league victory Tuesday in Detroit, rookie right-hander Griffin Canning (1-0, 4.66 ERA) seeks an encore in the series finale Sunday. Orioles: Rookie John Means (4-3, 2.48) makes his sixth start of his career, the first against the Angels. The right-hander and Andrew Cashner have collectively accounted for more than half of Baltimore's wins. --- More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP-Sports


BALTIMORE   Owner Gary Barber called trainer Mark Casse for the fourth time in 11 hours since War of Will won the Preakness. Only this time, Casse was in the middle of holding court with reporters the morning after his first Triple Crown victory. "All's good and we're going to the Belmont?" Casse said to Barber with a Cheshire cat grin. "I was kidding. I was making that up." Well, not totally. Assuming all goes well in the coming weeks, Casse said "there's an extremely good shot" War of Will goes to the Belmont Stakes on June 8 in New York. If he wins, he'd be the first horse since Afleet Alex in 2005 to fall short in the Kentucky Derby before capturing the Preakness and Belmont and would be the front-runner for 3-year-old horse of the year. "It's the third leg of the Triple Crown, who doesn't want to win it?" Casse said Sunday. "There are only three Triple Crown races, and they're pretty important. I think if you can do it you should do it. ... "That's what we do. We run." Those watching the Preakness saw a horse run the entire race and then some after throwing off his jockey out of the starting gate, a scene that   once it was clear rider John Velazquez was OK   served as a reminder of how much thoroughbreds love to run. Bodexpress provided a memorable spectacle as War of Will fulfilled his potential at Pimlico. The Belmont is another substantial test for the tough and talented War of Will because it's a third race in six weeks and is the longest of the Triple Crown races at 1½ miles. There won't be a Kentucky Derby rematch with Maximum Security, who was disqualified for interfering with War of Will, or Country House, who was placed first and since been sidelined by illness. And two-time Triple Crown winning trainer Bob Baffert said he probably won't take Improbable to the Belmont after finishing out of the money in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness as the favorite. But War of Will could have to contend with Derby returners Tacitus, Master Fencer and perhaps Baffert's Game Winner, along with Preakness surprise second-place finisher Everfast, third-place runner Owendale and ninth-place Signalman. Trainer Bill Mott ruled out Country House but is planning to take Tacitus to the Belmont and figures the gray colt will have no problem in a significantly longer race. "He should handle it fine," Mott said by phone Saturday. "My guess was that he'd handle the Derby distance fine, which he did. I was pleased. I think it goes the same for the Belmont. I think it's within his grasp." If the Preakness had more than an extra quarter-mile, closers Everfast and Owendale might've put a scare into War of Will on Saturday. Everfast was a late entry by trainer Dale Romans three days before the race and opened at 50-1 but showed he might be a good long-distance runner. "We almost had it," Everfast jockey Joel Rosario said. "He ran great. We have a great shot at the Belmont." Tacitus, Everfast and Owendale will be strong challengers, but this should be War of Will's Belmont to lose. Had he not endured such a rough trip in and been interfered with at Churchill Downs on May 4, there could be another wave of Triple Crown talk going on right now about a third winner in five years. But Casse isn't thinking about that, still grateful War of Will avoided going down in the Derby and was able to rebound and run well in the Preakness. He'll monitor the horse back at Keeneland Racecourse in Lexington, Kentucky, to make sure a sore foot and his energy level are good enough to run in the Belmont on a three-week turnaround. Casse can't predict how War of Will responds this time, but he knows what it would mean if the horse comes out on top once again. "He's just an athlete," Casse said. "It would just show that he's tough and able to overcome things." ___ Follow AP Sports Writer Stephen Whyno on Twitter at https://twitter.com/SWhyno ___ More AP sports: https://apnews.com/tag/apf-sports and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Related slideshow: Best of the Preakness (Provided by imagn)


(Bloomberg) -- An Indian court sentenced a business class passenger to life in jail after he was found guilty of placing a hijacking note in the washroom of a flight, the first such ruling under a new law. Birju Kishor Salla, 38, was also fined 50 million rupees ($720,000), which will be distributed among pilots, crew and passengers, a special court of the National Investigation Agency said in a judgment on Tuesday. The passenger, who was flying on a Jet Airways India Ltd. flight to New Delhi from Mumbai in 2017, was found guilty of intentionally disrupting the operations of an aircraft on board. "Flight No. 9W 339 is covered by hijackers and aircraft should not be land and flown straight to POK," Salla wrote in a note placed in a tissue paper box, according to court filings. POK refers to the part of the disputed state of Kashmir that's administrated by Pakistan. Salla further vowed to start killing people if the aircraft's landing gear was deployed, according to the documents. A platinum member of Jet Airways's loyalty program and a jeweler by profession, Salla may have wanted to ground the airline to woo a stewardess, who he hoped would then approach him for job, the Times of India newspaper reported without saying where it got the information. The flight's pilots will get over $1400 each from the fine, while every passenger on board will pocket $360, according to the verdict. Crew members will get $720. India in 2016 amended rules, making the death penalty compulsory if a hijack attempt results in the death of a hostage or security personnel. In Salla's case, the pilot managed to land in the western airport of Ahmedabad and no passenger or crew was harmed.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) Fiona Ferro beat her friend and French club teammate Alize Cornet 6-1, 2-6, 6-1 in the Ladies Open Lausanne final on Sunday to win her first WTA singles title. The 98th-ranked Ferro plays for the same club in Nice as No. 48 Cornet, who described her as ''like my little sister on the tour.'' Ferro clinched the title with her seventh break of serve from nine chances when Cornet sent a forehand long. Third-seeded Cornet was the defending champion, though the clay-court event was played last year in the ski resort of Gstaad. The 22-year-old Ferro was playing her first final on tour, while Cornet dropped to a career record of 6-7 in title matches. --- More AP Tennis: https://www.apnews.com/apf-Tennis and https://twitter.com/AP-Sports


A senior British politician is under investigation after video emerged of him grabbing and manhandling a protester at an event in London Thursday. According to CNN affiliate ITV News, Foreign Office minister Mark Field has apologized for grabbing a protester by the neck, saying he "instinctively reacted" after guests felt threatened by the woman, who was acting peacefully at the time and was not armed. WATCH: Conservative MP Mark Field shoves a protestor against a pillar then grabs her by her neck and shoves her out of the Mansion House dinner after climate change protestors interrupted the banquet. pic.twitter.com/DFwZYxROfF   Paul Brand (@PaulBrandITV) June 20, 2019 "There was no security present and I was for a split-second genuinely worried she might have been armed," Field, who is Member of Parliament for Cities of London and Westminster, said in a statement to ITV . "As a result I grasped the intruder firmly in order to remove her from the room as swiftly as possible. I deeply regret this episode and unreservedly apologize to the lady concerned for grabbing her, but in the current climate I felt the need to act decisively to close down the threat to the safety of those present." Field said he had referred himself for investigation to the cabinet office, as numerous opposition lawmakers called for his immediate sacking or resignation. The Conservative Party lawmaker had been in attendance at a swanky black tie event at Mansion House on Thursday where the chancellor, Philip Hammond, was giving a speech, when protesters from Greenpeace UK, dressed in red wearing sashes with the words "climate emergency" interrupted it. During the protest, video shows, one woman walked past where Field was sitting, at which he got up from his seat and grabbed her around the neck, pushing her against a nearby pillar. After a brief scuffle, Field is seen leading the woman out of the room by the back of her neck. A City of London Police spokesman said they were called to Mansion House after protesters refused to leave. "Officers arrived to help with their ejection. Once in the presence of the police, the protesters were co-operative and left the premises," he said. "No arrests were made." Opposition lawmakers were quick to demand Field's resignation after the video emerged late Thursday. "This is horrific," Labour Party lawmaker Dawn Butler wrote on Twitter . "Conservative Foreign Office Minister Mark Field violently grabs a woman as she protests about climate change at the bankers' banquet." Butler said Field appeared to have committed "assault" and "must be immediately suspended or sacked." This is horrific. Conservative Foreign Office Minister Mark Field violently grabs a woman as she protests about climate change at the bankers' banquet. This appears to be assault. He must be immediately suspended or sacked. Due to Violence against women. https://t.co/fjy6HZXyyG https://t.co/mM8hJ47ult   (((Dawn Butler MP))) (@DawnButlerBrent) June 20, 2019 Another Labour lawmaker, Tonia Antoniazzi, said that Field "should resign and be arrested. I don't care in what order." "No one who reacts like this to a peaceful protest should be sitting in our parliament," she added. Field works in the Foreign Office under Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Jeremy Hunt, who on Thursday was declared one of the final two candidates , alongside Boris Johnson, to be the next Conservative Party leader and therefore British Prime Minister. The incident comes amid heightened environmental activism in the UK, amid frustration that the Conservative government is not doing enough to tackle the climate emergency. Thousands of protesters from Extinction Rebellion, a climate group, took to the streets of London in April , disrupting transport for several days , leading to more than 300 arrests. In a statement on Thursday's protest, Greenpeace UK campaigner Areeba Hamid said that "business as usual is no longer an option." "The real bottom line, the priority that needs to come before all others, is not profit, revenue or growth, but survival. That needs to be recognized in every boardroom and on every balance sheet, starting with the Chancellor's," she said. "The people in this room have been funding climate change, and we're not giving the banks and hedge funds a pass for their unethical investment decisions anymore ... The serious, sensible, grey-suited grown-ups in the room ignored the warning signs and crashed the economy in 2008. We can't afford to let them crash the climate too." Young people in particular have taken up the fight for greater climate action, with students staging walkouts and joining the Extinction Rebellion protests. On Twitter , ITV News political correspondent Paul Brand wrote "if ever there was an image that sums up the Conservative Party's disconnect with the younger generation right now it's a man in black tie at an elite dinner grabbing a climate change protestor by her neck."


Community members on Tuesday are expected to voice their concerns over plans to demolish a longtime funeral chapel in Denver's Berkeley neighborhood. Denver-based Koelbel and Co. in May filed an application to demolish the Olinger Moore Howard-Berkeley Park Funeral Chapel and replace it with three-story townhouses. The chapel, which stopped hosting services earlier this year, is located at West 46th Avenue and Tennyson Street across from the Berkeley Lake Park. The proposed development has drawn the ire of local community members, who want to preserve the building for its history. The City of Denver on June 12 found that the Berkeley Park Chapel has potential for landmark designation. Full development plans submitted to the city call for three-story townhomes in seven buildings that will be made up of six, eight or 10 units, for a total of 58 units. Historic Berkeley Regis   a group that advocates and educates for the preservation of the Berkeley neighborhood's historic resources   posted to its Facebook page an announcement inviting the community to sit with a representative from Koelbel to discuss: Halting the proposed demolition and incorporating the chapel into the development. Preserving the chapel's exterior and interior architectural features. Including mixed-use (retail and residential) in the plans. Softening the design to fit the character of the neighborhood. Ceasing "up-zoning." Preserving the integrity of 46th Avenue Parkway   Tree Lawn. Creating a protective barrier between townhomes and the Centennial school. Preserving solar access to the school playground and gardens. Controlling traffic flow for safety of school children and pedestrians. The community meeting is from 6-8 p.m. and will be hosted at Centennial K-8 School at 4665 Raleigh St. in Denver. A spokesperson for Koelbel said the company is looking forward to the community meeting "where we will have the opportunity to share our vision for the Tennyson and 46th property and have an open conversation with the community members about the future of the site." The company emailed the following statement to 9NEWS: "As a company who has developed in this neighborhood in the past and is also very aware of the city's housing crisis, we are eager to work with members of the community to find a plan for this under-utilized block that balances the rights of the property owner with the needs and desire of the community." A GoFundMe page supporting the filing for a landmark designation has raised $1,470 of its $875 goal. The cost to file for a landmark designation without owner consent is $875. There is also an online petition supporting the landmark designation. No application for landmark preservation designation has been submitted, according to Swartz. "We are hopeful that the neighborhood association and the developer will have a productive, collaborative discussion tonight and be able to arrive at a mutually agreeable outcome," Swartz said. The chapel is part of a the chain of Olinger funeral homes in Colorado owned by SCI Colorado Funeral Services LLC, a subsidiary of Houston-based Services Corporation International, according to Secretary of State business filings. Denver's Community Planning and Development report from June 12 outlines the reasons for the funeral homes' potential for landmark designation: Thomas and Loula Howard founded the Howard Mortuary, as the business was originally called, in 1917. It became a long-running family business, passed along from generation to generation. The building, initially housed at 1901 Colfax., moved to 1201 17th Ave. and expanded to its Berkeley location at 4345 W. 46th Ave. in May 1960. The Berkeley neighborhood at the time was one of several growing Denver suburbs, and a newspaper advertisement at the time noted the communities of Wheat Ridge, Lakewood, Arvada, Westminster, Broomfield and Golden as "celebrating" the new location. The ads also highlighted the architecture of the building, which was designed by J. Roger Musick, one of Denver's well-known mid-century architects. SUGGESTED VIDEOS | Local stories from 9NEWS

A.J. Allmendinger is 2-0 on thrilling finishes in the NASCAR Xfinity Series this season and 0-for-2 on passing post-race inspection. Allmendinger was part of a wild final lap battle with Austin Cindric in Saturday's Zippo 200 at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International, with Cindric finally coming out on top for his first career victory. Read Also: Cindric bests Allmendinger for first Xfinity win at Watkins Glen Allmendinger's No. 10 Chevrolet failed post-race inspection, as the car did not meet the minimum height requirements in both rear corners. Kaulig Racing has until Monday at noon ET to appeal. The disqualification drops Allmendinger to a 37th-place finish. In a tweet posted after the race, Allmendinger claimed the violation occurred because of damage suffered in the race, although series director Wayne Auton dismissed that reason. "Every car that went on the race track today went through the pre-race heights and everybody started the race in green and unfortunately when the race was over, we took six cars across the postrace heights and the No. 10 car didn't meet the minimum heights," Auton said. "The first thing we do is inspect the car fully on the body panels of it. We didn't see any damage on the car." I can go into a full description of why it was low from contact early in the race on a restart. The issues we struggled with after cause track bar mount was bent and oil tank getting hung on the coil of the spring the rest of the race.

Christopher Steele, the former MI6 operative infamous for collecting a dossier alleging ties between the Trump campaign and Moscow, among other sordid details, has agreed to be questioned by U.S. officials about his relationship with the FBI. A source close to Steele told The Times he will meet with investigators in London in the coming weeks. Republicans have long alleged it was Steele's dossier that improperly led to an FBI inquiry, which ultimately morphed into special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into possible coordination between the Trump and campaign and Russia during the 2016 election. The Justice Department's internal watchdog is investigating aspects of the Mueller probe, including whether officials abused their power when they ordered surveillance of a former campaign aide partially based on information from Steele's dossier. The source told The Times that while Steele was initially reluctant to be questioned as part of the Justice Department's inquiry, he reconsidered after reports said the investigation could ultimately criticize him and throw his credibility into question. The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill. Steele will hire a top American attorney if the interview does take place, costing the former British agent over $38,000, according to The Times. He reportedly told the Justice Department that he was only willing to discuss his dealings with the FBI and that he wanted officials to obtain the approval of the British government before the interview. "As far as we are aware, no request has been made to HMG [Her Majesty's government] on this matter. Any decision to co-operate would be a matter for Mr Steele as this relates to issues arising many years after he left government employment," a senior source told The Times. Steele compiled the dossier for Fusion GPS, a Washington research firm tapped by Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. He later shared the information he discovered with the British government. Steele has emerged as a top GOP target, with congressional Republicans and President Trump repeatedly slamming the former intelligence agent for starting an investigation they believe was improper. "Wow! FBI made 11 payments to Fake Dossier's discredited author, Trump hater Christopher Steele," Trump tweeted in April. "The Witch Hunt has been a total fraud on your President and the American people! It was brought to you by Dirty Cops, Crooked Hillary and the DNC." Wow! FBI made 11 payments to Fake Dossier's discredited author, Trump hater Christopher Steele. @OANN @JudicialWatch The Witch Hunt has been a total fraud on your President and the American people!

Photo gallery by photo services BERLIN (Reuters) - The foreign ministers of Germany, France, Britain and the European Union said on Tuesday that they were concerned about Iran scaling up its uranium enrichment and urged Tehran to revert to upholding the 2015 nuclear deal. Iran has said it will boost its uranium enrichment in a few hours above a cap set by the nuclear deal, a move that could mean the return of all economic sanctions on Tehran. "We express deep concern that Iran is not meeting several of its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action," the ministers said, referring to the nuclear deal's formal name (JCPoA). "Iran has stated that it wants to remain within the JCPoA. It must act accordingly by reversing these activities and returning to full JCPoA compliance without delay," they added.

PARIS (Reuters) - Juan Martin del Potro was pushed to the limit before eventually taming Japan's plucky Yoshihito Nishioka 5-7 6-4 6-2 6-7(5) 6-2 to reach the French Open third round on Thursday. Joy was etched all over the face of the Argentine when he put away a forehand winner to finally eclipse his opponent after an absorbing match lasting three hours and 46 minutes. The eighth-seeded Del Potro has twice reached the semi-finals at Roland Garros, including last year, and had plenty of support in overcast conditions on Court Simonne-Mathieu. However, he found it hard to get going in a first set that saw both players struggle on serve before the 72nd-ranked Nishioka edged ahead and held to open his account. The 2009 U.S. Open champion Del Potro, more at home on hard courts than clay, settled down in the second though and leveled the match with a forehand winner courtesy of a net cord. The 30-year-old matched his two breaks in that set with two more in the third to get on top in the match, but Nishioka, 23, won the fourth set tiebreak on his second set point. That setback spurred Del Potro into action and, having beaten his Japanese opponent in their only other meeting, at Delray Beach in February, he was not about to let this one slide. The world number nine raced into a 5-2 lead and, although clouds enveloped the court, the outlook was bright for Del Potro as he wrapped up the win before punching the air in delight. He next faces Australian Jordan Thompson, who beat 40-year-old Croat Ivo Karlovic -- the oldest man to win a match at the French Open for 46 years when he made the second round on Wednesday.
