A shipwrecked submarine discovered off the coast of Argentina is the top secret Nazi submarine that helped Adolf Hitler flee to South America, its finder has claimed. The 80m long wreckage was discovered near Quequen, a port in central Argentina by members of the group Missing Link. Abel Basti, the group’s leader, made the stunning claim it was actually a Nazi submarine that carried Hitler from Germany to a new life in South America. Government divers from the Argentine Naval Prefecture (PNA) have visited the wreck and released the first images of it. The wreckage sits 30m deep and has not been officially identified by the PNA despite wild claims of its origin. Mr Basti, who has written books on his ostentatious theory Hitler survived WWII and fled to Argentina, is convinced the wreck proves his wild claims.

(AP) — Amid backlash over the fatal shooting of a Mississippi man, the state’s top law enforcement official said officers of a special police unit in the capital city of Jackson will not change the way they pursue suspects. Mississippi Department of Public Safety Commissioner Sean Tindell met with community members following a spate of recent shootings involving the Capitol Police, a unit that patrols areas around state government buildings and other neighborhoods near downtown Jackson. “Anytime there is a loss of life, it’s tragic,” Tindell said Thursday night at a Jackson church. “But we can’t be deterred in trying to make the city safe and doing policing the way it’s supposed to be done.” Jaylen Lewis, 25, was shot during an encounter Sunday night with Capitol Police officers. He later died. According to the Department of Public Safety, the officers attempted to … [Read more...] about Official defends Mississippi Capitol Police pursuits

In September 1963, the first ever New York Film Festival was held in Manhattan’s Lincoln Center, and it counted as something of an experiment, an early test case as to whether the sort of serious, artistically inclined fests that were quickly becoming established in Europe could find real purchase stateside. The inaugural lineup included Luis Buñuel’s “Exterminating Angel,” Roman Polanski’s debut, “Knife in the Water,” and Yasujirō Ozu’s swan song “An Autumn Afternoon.” According to a Film Comment report at the time, the inaugural fest sold more than 20,000 tickets before a single film had unspooled.

North Americans playing in the Russia-based Kontinental Hockey League have been put in a difficult position amid calls from the U.S and Canadian governments for them to leave the country because of the war in Ukraine. The Canadian government has advised its citizens to leave Russia while commercial means are still available, cautioning anyone holding a Russian passport could be subject to call-up for mandatory military service. Earlier this week, the U.S. Embassy in Moscow issued the same security alert for Americans in Russia, urging them to leave.

She was dubbed the Queen's 'second daughter', and is widely regarded as a ‘safe pair of hands’ for Royal Family - it's fair to say that Sophie, Countess of Wessex is a key member of The Firm. But she still retains a low profile - alongside her husband Prince Edward , 58, King Charles' youngest brother, and their two children Lady Louise Windsor , 18 and James Viscount Severn , 14. Having formed an extremely close bond with the Queen, she was the only other non-blood relative aside from Princess Anne’s husband, Sir Tim Laurence, at Balmoral after the monarch's death.

Hurricane Ian is barreling towards the Carolinas as a Category 1 hurricane, with maximum sustained wind speeds of 85 miles per hour, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC). Hurricane strength winds are forecast for North and South Carolina on Friday, with a danger of "life-threatening" storm surges in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. The Sunshine State was devastated by Hurricane Ian on Wednesday and Thursday, and will continue to face "major to record river flooding" through to next week.

Footage posted on social media showed vehicles and some homes being swept away , whilst roads were turned into rivers and many trees torn down.

In a big win for creative expression, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed The Decriminalizing Artistic Expression Act, which restricts the use of rap lyrics as evidence in court in California. In August, the Calif. Senate and Assembly unanimously approved the bill, AB 2799. Speaking to the importance of the legislation at a virtual bill signing ceremony were rap artists Killer Mike, Meek Mill, Too $hort, Ty Dolla $ign, YG, E-40 and Tyga, as well as CEO of the Recording Academy Harvey Mason Jr. Leaders from the Black Music Action Coalition and Songwriters of North America also joined the signing ceremony. In a press release, the Black Music Action Coalition called the bill a “crucial step in the right direction” of not injecting racial bias into court proceedings, especially given the recent indictment of Young Thug and Gunna, whose lyrics were directly quoted and used against them in an ongoing RICO trial. “For too long, prosecutors in California have used rap lyrics as a convenient … [Read more...] about California restricts use of rap lyrics in criminal trials after Gov.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 STUYVESANT, N.Y. (AP) — Harvest season means long days for U.S. farmworkers — but usually no overtime pay. Federal law exempts farms from rules entitling most workers to 1.5 times their regular wage when they work more than 40 hours in a week. New York is now joining several states that have begun to change the rule. The state's labor commissioner on Friday approved a recommendation to phase in a 40-hour threshold for farmworker overtime over the next decade. Right now, farmworkers in New York qualify for overtime pay only after they have worked 60 hours in a week. Labor Commissioner Roberta Reardon called the plan “the best path forward” for farmworker equity and success for agricultural businesses. Washington, Minnesota, Hawaii and Maryland have also granted forms of overtime entitlements to agricultural workers. California, an agricultural giant, this year began requiring … [Read more...] about Pay bumps coming for more farmworkers, long denied overtime

Crews are beginning to repair — and in some cases, rebuild — Florida's power grid after the state was pummeled by Hurricane Ian. Florida Power & Light says it stockpiled enough poles, generators and wire to do the work. But power-industry officials warn that kinks in the nation's supply chain could slow the recovery if Ian causes more damage as it spins up the Atlantic coast, or when another natural disaster strikes somewhere else in the U.S. Eric Silagy, CEO of Florida Power & Light, said that Friday evening 850,000 of the utility's customers who lost power in the storm remained without power, but 1.2 million had power restored during the day. Ian crossed Florida’s Gulf Coast on Wednesday as one of the strongest storms to ever hit the U.S. Silagy said earlier this week that the company had set aside enough generators in the months before Ian to complete repairs. Nationally, however, there is a shortage of distribution transformers that take electricity from … [Read more...] about Supply chain issues could slow fix of Florida electric grid

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Even after three months of captivity that included execution threats, physical torture, solitary confinement and food deprivation, it was the ride to freedom that nearly broke Alex Drueke, a U.S. military veteran released last week with nine other prisoners who went to help Ukraine fight off Russian invaders. His hands were bound. His head was covered by a plastic bag, and the packing tape holding it in place was secured so tightly it it caused welts on his forehead. Drueke said he and fellow American prisoner Andy Huynh reached their limit in this state during the transit, which occurred in a series of vehicles from eastern Ukraine to an airport in Russia that was surrounded by armed guards. “For all we went through and all the times we thought we might die, we accepted that we might die, we were ready to die when it came, that ride was the only time that each of us independently prayed for death just to get it over with,” Drueke told The Associated Press … [Read more...] about U.S. captives ‘prayed for death’ on brutal ride from Ukraine
