They were knocked out,” Morin told CNN. “Get the dog. Get out of here. You don’t have time, just get out!” she recalled telling them.Ten minutes later, Dave noticed sparks in their backyard. The temperature was also picking up.“It was hot. It was so hot,” Morin recalled.Dozens of homes in California’s Ventura County were set alight in a sweeping wildfire that burned...

Police find 11 bodies in pick-up truck in Mexico
MEXICO CITY — The remains of 11 people, including two children, have been found inside a vehicle in a southern Mexican city besieged by violence, officials say.The grim discovery was made in the city of Chilpancingo, whose mayor was beheaded last month just days after taking the job, in Guerrero state.The identities of the victims are not yet known and the case is being treated as a homicide, the state's attorney general said.Police were called to the scene after an abandoned pick-up truck was reported to authorities on Wednesday night.The truck containing the bodies was found on a highway to Acapulco, which was a destination for the rich and famous in the 1950s and 1960s, but has since become a hotspot for drug-trafficking with a high murder rate.Guerrero is one of Mexico's most...

Cuba suffers blackout as Hurricane Rafael hits
HAVANA — Cuba suffered a nationwide blackout on Wednesday as Hurricane Rafael brought winds of up to 185km/h (115mph) to the Caribbean island.The country's national energy company said strong winds had caused the shutdown of the electricity system.At least 70,000 people were evacuated from their homes before the category three storm made landfall on Wednesday evening with warnings of storm surges, flash flooding, and mudslides.It comes just weeks after millions were left without power for four days following a blackout caused by issues with the country's creaking energy infrastructure. The incident also coincided with Hurricane Oscar, which killed at least six people.Rafael made landfall in the western province of Artemisa, near capital Havana, at around 16:15 local time (21:15...

Joe Biden
Harris allies point fingers at Biden for election defeat
WASHINGTON — As Vice President Kamala Harris conceded her loss to Donald Trump, some of her allies blamed her boss, Joe Biden, as they tried to make sense of her defeat.“The biggest onus of this loss is on President Biden,” said Andrew Yang, who ran against Biden in 2020 for the Democratic nomination before endorsing Harris.Biden, who was elected in 2020, sought re-election this year despite relatively low approval ratings and concern about his advancing age.The 81-year-old dropped out of the race only months prior following a disastrous televised debate against Trump, and growing pressure from his own party.High-ranking Democrats, including former president Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had nudged him to step down.He had refused calls to step down for several...

Donald Trump greets a crowd during his campaign
Trump victory 'major setback' to climate action
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump's return to the White House will have a hugely negative effect on climate change action in the short-term but the longer term impact is less certain, experts say.With world leaders meeting next week for the latest UN climate talks, COP29, the Trump victory will be seen as a huge roadblock to progress in both cutting emissions and raising cash for developing countries.The US president-elect is a known climate sceptic who has called efforts to boost green energy a "scam".But with renewable energy gaining a strong foothold in the US and popular support for wind and solar, Trump's efforts to ramp up oil and gas instead may be less effective.While climate change did not play much of a role in this year's campaign, Trump's likely actions in...
