William Li recalls escaping Hong Kong building fire
My heart breaks every time I'm called a hero, says Hong Kong fire survivor
HONG KONG — William Li has struggled with the label "hero" since helping his neighbours escape the fire which engulfed the Hong Kong block of flats he had called home since birth.Instead, he is haunted by guilt that he could have saved more people from the blaze at Wang Fuk Court, which left at least 159 people dead."My heart breaks every time someone calls me a hero," says the 40-year-old, breaking down in tears.A week on from the disaster, firefighters are still combing the complex of seven burnt-out high rises for the remains of 30 of Li's neighbors — people who, like him, had the misfortune to be at home when the deadly fire began.What caused the fire to start, and why more people did not escape, is now the subject of an independent committee's investigation, ordered by...

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth looks on as President Donald Trump speaks as  during a White House meeting.
Watchdog finds Hegseth risked endangering troops by sharing sensitive war plans on Signal
WASHINGTON — US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth risked compromising sensitive military information, which could have endangered American troops and mission objectives, when he used Signal in March of this year to share highly-sensitive attack plans targeting Houthi rebels in Yemen, according to four sources familiar with the contents of a classified Inspector General report.The repercussions of Hegseth’s action, two sources told CNN, are less clear since the IG concluded that the defense secretary has the authority to declassify information and Hegseth asserted he made an operational decision in the moment to share that information, though there is no documentation of such a decision.An unclassified version of the report is set to be publicly released Thursday. The classified report...

US sets up one-way attack drone squadron after reverse-engineering Iranian drone
WASHINGTON — Having faced continuous drone attacks by Iran and its proxies over the last two years, the US military is responding by standing up its first one-way attack drone squadron in the Middle East — and using drones that borrow design and technology directly from Iran.The squadron falls under the control of a task force set up by US Central Command just months ago, Task Force Scorpion Strike, and will use drones called Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System, or LUCAS drones. The LUCAS drones were created after developers reverse-engineered a Shahed drone from Iran, which the US captured a few years ago, a US defense official said.The Shahed drones have also been employed by Russia in its attacks on Ukraine.“LUCAS drones deployed by CENTCOM have an extensive range and are...

Ukraine and US negotiators to meet in Florida after Moscow talks, White House says
WASHINGTON — US special envoy Steve Witkoff will meet the head of Ukraine's national security council, Rustem Umerov, for talks in Miami on Thursday, the White House has confirmed.The meeting comes after Witkoff spent almost five hours with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Tuesday, negotiations which the Kremlin said produced "no compromise" on ending the war in Ukraine.US President Trump said the talks — also attended by his son-in-law Jared Kushner — were "reasonably good", but added that it was too soon to say what would happen because "it does take two to tango."Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybhia said Russia must "end the bloodshed", and accused Putin of "wasting the world's time".When asked by a reporter whether Witkoff and Kushner believed Putin...

Photos and video from Epstein’s private island released by House Democrats
WASHINGTON — House Democrats on the Oversight Committee on Wednesday released photos and videos from a private island in the Caribbean that Jeffrey Epstein once owned, shining new light on what was once the epicenter of the late convicted sex offender’s decades of abuse of young girls and women.The images and videos show several bedrooms, bathrooms and what appears to resemble a dentist’s chair in one room with masks on the wall, as well as a landline telephone with first names written on the speed dial buttons, including Darren, Rich, Mike, Patrick and Larry.Multiple videos capture the opulent grounds of a home resembling a luxury resort, featuring a swimming pool, palm trees and a winding path overlooking the ocean. One photo appears to capture a study featuring a blackboard:...

EU updates asylum guidance for Syrian refugees a year after fall of Bashar al-Assad
BRUSSLES — The European Union issued updated guidance for asylum applications by Syrian nationals on Wednesday that reflects new conditions in Syria a year after the fall of former long-time leader, Bashar al-Assad.The changes may influence the result of asylum requests of some 110,000 Syrians who were still awaiting an asylum decision at the end of September.The European Union Agency for Asylum said opponents of al-Assad and military service evaders "are no longer at risk of persecution."But the agency said other groups may be considered at risk in the post-Assad Syria, including people affiliated with the former government and members of the Alawites, Christians, and Druze ethnic-religious groups.While decisions on asylum applications are made at a national level, the agency's...

DNA evidence links woman’s murder to one of Colorado's most ‘prolific serial killers’ 40 years later
DENVER — For nearly 40 years, the identity of the person who sexually assaulted and killed a 30-year-old woman found along a quiet stretch of rural highway south of Denver eluded investigators. Now, small pieces of preserved evidence – a pair of paper bags placed over the victim’s hands – have provided the answer authorities had been searching for: a DNA match to one of Colorado’s “most prolific serial killers,” officials said Tuesday.“Obtaining a viable DNA profile from paper bags nearly four decades old is exceptionally rare and underscores the extraordinary value of meticulous evidence preservation,” the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.Rhonda Marie Fisher’s body was found on April 1, 1987 off a highway embankment near Sedalia, Colorado, the...
