Russia's brutal retaliation for the bombing of its bridge to Crimea appears to have bolstered the West's determination and urgency to help Ukraine. The U.S. and other NATO members pledged their immediate and long-lasting support Wednesday for Ukraine, which over the previous two days was showered with Russian missiles and drone attacks that killed dozens of civilians, destroyed residential buildings and damaged about one-third of the country's energy infrastructure. "The international community remains united and focused and committed to doing everything that we can to help Ukraine protect its interests and defend its sovereign territory,” U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said after a meeting with allies at NATO headquarters in Brussels. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday asked for air defense systems to help protect civilians, and he did not have to wait. Ukraine just received its first IRIS-T air defense system from Germany and four more High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) from the U.S., Ukraine Foreign Minister Oleksii Reznikov said Wednesday. The deliveries were expedited after this week's barrage, a retaliatory attack for a truck bomb that damaged a crucial, Russian-built bridge in Crimea on Saturday. Ukraine has not taken responsibility for the blast. The U.S. also announced plans to send Ukraine eight National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS); two are expected to be delivered soon. In addition, the Netherlands said it would deliver $14.5 million worth of air defense missiles, and France said it would also contribute to Ukraine's air defense. “The more audacious and cruel Russian terror becomes, the more obvious it is to the world that helping Ukraine to protect the sky is one of the most important humanitarian tasks for Europe of our time,” Zelenskyy said. Other developments: ►The U.N. General Assembly voted 143-5 with 35 abstentions Wednesday to condemn Russia’s “attempted illegal annexation” of four Ukrainian provinces and demand that the Kremlin reverse its actions right away. The vote is symbolic, not legally binding. ►Ukraine’s prime minister, Denys Shmyhal, said Russia intends to use “cold as its weapon” in the upcoming winter and urged citizens to prepare by stocking on warm clothes, candles, flashlights and batteries. ►A Russian attack on a market in the Donetsk city of Avdiivka killed seven people and wounded eight Wednesday, Ukrainian authorities said. ►Russian President Vladimir Putin met Wednesday with Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Kazakhstan on the sidelines of a regional summit, Kremlin spokesman Dmitriy Peskov said. Erdoğan has offered to host talks between Russia and the West. Ukraine's counteroffensive slows down Ukraine has retaken five more villages in the southern Kherson province, the Southern Operational Command said Wednesday. However, officials and military analysts pointed out the counteroffensive that reclaimed more than a thousand square miles of occupied territory in the east and south has lost steam. After the battlefield losses, Russian forces regrouped and bolstered their front lines, halting the Ukrainians' progress. Serhiy Haidai, regional administrator of Luhansk in the east, said the Russians have also been setting mines in the first section of the front line. Eight arrested -- five of them Russian -- in Crimean bridge bombing Five Russians are among eight suspects detained in connection with the explosion that has gnarled rail and vehicle traffic on the $3.6 billion Crimea bridge, Russia's domestic intelligence service said Wednesday. Ukraine’s military intelligence agency was behind the attack Saturday on the 12-mile bridge, Europe's longest, the FSB said in a statement. Ukraine authorities have lauded the incident but have not formally accepted responsibility for the blast, which Russia says killed three people. "At the moment, five citizens of Russia, three citizens of Ukraine and Armenia, who participated in the preparation of the crime, have been detained as part of a criminal case," the FSB said, adding that several other suspects were involved in the plan. The FSB said the explosives were shipped out of the Ukrainian city of Odesa in August, and three Ukrainians, two Georgians and an Armenian national were behind the plan to arrange the delivery from Bulgaria through Georgia into Russia. A Ukrainian citizen and the five detained Russians had prepared documents for a nonexistent Crimean firm to receive the explosives, the agency said. The investigation was continuing. No indication Putin is preparing to use nuclear weapons, Pentagon says The Pentagon has not seen indications that Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing to use nuclear weapons as his forces falter in Ukraine, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Wednesday. Austin made his remarks in a briefing to reporters in Brussels, where NATO allies met to discuss supplying military aid to Ukraine. “Nuclear saber rattling is reckless and irresponsible,” Austin said. “We don’t expect to see and hear that kind of behavior from a major nuclear power. And so that’s very dangerous.” Army Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that Ukraine’s top needs for the war include air defense systems, cannon artillery, rocket artillery, tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. Milley blasted the recent Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian cities, calling the “indiscriminate and deliberate attacks” a “war crime.” -- Tom Vanden Brook Ukraine receives artillery, air defense systems from US, Germany The U.S. and its allies are taking quick steps to respond to Ukraine's request for air defense systems that may prevent major damage from missile strikes such as the ones Russia launched Monday and Tuesday. Ukraine received its first IRIS-T air defense system from Germany and four more High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) from the U.S., Ukraine Foreign Minister Oleksii Reznikov said Wednesday. The deliveries were expedited after this week's Russian barrage across much of Ukraine, a retaliatory attack for a truck bomb that damaged a crucial, Russian-built bridge in Crimea on Saturday. “The more audacious and cruel Russian terror becomes, the more obvious it is to the world that helping Ukraine to protect the sky is one of the most important humanitarian tasks for Europe of our time,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. The U.S. also announced plans to send Ukraine eight National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS); two are expected to be delivered soon. In addition, the Netherlands said it would deliver $14.5 million worth of air defense missiles, and France said it would also contribute to Ukraine's air defense. "A new era of air defense has begun," Reznikov tweeted. "There is a moral imperative to protect the sky over in order to save our people." Shelling again causes dangerous blackout at Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant For the second time in five days, Europe's second-largest nuclear power plant was knocked off the grid by shelling, once again risking a radiation emergency. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant lost its electric supply Wednesday when a Russian missile damaged a substation north of it, the facility's operator said. Even though the plant's six reactors are inactive, they need to be cooled for long stretches to prevent overheating. Energoatom said the external power source was repaired after about eight hours and that the plant’s emergency diesel generators -- which rely on uncertain fuel deliveries in the war zone -- provided backup power in the meantime, but pointed out a similarly hazardous interruption could happen at any time. Experts have raised alarm about the danger of continued fighting near the plant, which has been occupied by Russian forces since early in the war but is operated by Ukrainian employees. Repeated power outages over brief stretches only increase the risks, analysts say. The International Atomic Energy Agency has repeatedly called for the establishment of a protection zone around the facility -- IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi made his case to Putin directly Tuesday -- but so far hostilities in the plant's periphery have not ceased. Biden: No progress in effort to free Brittney Griner from Russian prison U.S. officials have made no progress toward freeing WNBA basketball star Brittney Griner from a Moscow prison, President Joe Biden said Wednesday. Asked by reporters if there was any movement in the Griner case, Biden replied, "Not with Putin." In an interview Tuesday with CNN, Biden said he had "no intention" of meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit next month in Indonesia – but that he would consider a conversation if Putin said he wanted to talk about Griner. Griner, who plays basketball in Russia during the WNBA offseason, was arrested at Sheremetyevo Airport outside Moscow in February on drug charges. Griner admitted having vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage, but testified she had inadvertently packed them and had no criminal intent. She was sentenced to nine years in prison; her appeal hearing is set for Oct. 25. Putin blames US for pipeline blasts, says Russia ready to resume gas flow Putin said Wednesday that Russia is ready to restart the flow of gas to Europe over the single remaining link of the Nord Stream gas pipelines – and again blamed the U.S. for blasts that crippled the system. German government spokeswoman Christiane Hoffmann rejected the proposal, saying Russia has been an unreliable gas supplier since the war began. European authorities are investigating the explosions that ripped through both links of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline and one of the two links of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. U.S. officials have dismissed Putin's claim that the U.S. wanted to disrupt the flow to encourage Europe to import more expensive liquefied natural gas. Experts discuss Putin's threat to use nukes in Ukraine What does Putin’s threat to use nuclear weapons mean for the security of millions of people in Ukraine and around the world, including the United States, which Russian nuclear-tipped missiles can certainly reach? USA TODAY spoke with former top intelligence officer Rolf Mowatt-Larssen, a former CIA official and a host of other nuclear security experts and analysts for answers. All of them agreed with President Joe Biden’s assessment that the current situation is fraught with potential danger, including the possibility an increasingly cornered Putin decides to deploy one of the smaller nuclear weapons in his massive arsenal. "It’s just pure international racketeering," Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday. The G-7 statement released after Tuesday's virtual meeting called for "ensuring Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction, including exploring avenues to do so with funds from Russia." After the invasion began in February, the West imposed sanctions against the Bank of Russia. In addition to freezing Russia’s gold and foreign exchange reserves, all transactions related to the management of reserves and assets of the Bank of Russia, as well as transactions with any legal entity, fell under the ban. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2022/10/12/ukraine-russia-invasion-live-updates/10474721002/

WASHINGTON — The White House said Tuesday that President Joe Biden wants to see resignations from all three members of the Los Angeles City Council who took part in a racist conversation that was captured in a leaked audio recording. "He believes that they all should resign," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. "The language that was used and tolerated during that conversation was unacceptable and it was appalling." Biden's position follows resignation calls from top California Democrats, including Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., a mayoral candidate vying to replace Garcetti. Ron Herrera, the president of Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, resigned from his position Tuesday. But L.A. City Council President Nury Martinez, at the center of the controversy, has stopped short of resigning from her seat, instead taking a leave of absence and stepping down as council president. The two other participants, L.A. council members Kevin De Len and Gil Cedillo, also remain in their council seats. "The president is glad to see that one of the participants in that conversation has resigned. But they all should," Jean-Pierre said. In the recording, Martinez can be heard making racist statements about the Black child of a white council member, Mike Bonin, including that he “handled his young Black son as though he were an accessory." She described the son in Spanish as “like a monkey" and said the boy's parents are "raising him like a little white kid." "I was like, this kid needs a beatdown," Martinez said. "Let me take him around the corner and then I'll bring him back." The conversation took place during an October 2021 meeting at the union's offices over the city's redistricting process. More:GOP Sen. Tommy Tuberville promotes racist narrative about Black people, crime at Trump rally Although everyone in the recording is a Democrat, Jean-Pierre sought to make a distinction with Republicans on how the parties respond to racism within their own ranks. "When a Democrat says something racist or anti-Semitic, we really hold Democrats accountable. When a MAGA Republican says something racist or anti-Semitic, they're embraced by cheering crowds and become celebrated and sought-after endorsements." Jean-Pierre pointed to comments Saturday from Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., at a rally hosted by President Donald Trump in which the senator said Democrats back reparations for descendants of slavery because "they think the people who do crime are owed that." Biden is scheduled to visit Los Angeles on Wednesday to attend a Democratic fundraiser and deliver remarks on the infrastructure spending law passed last year. The trip was planned before the L.A. City Council controversy erupted. Source

Football-size goldfish are taking over a Minnesota lake after being dumped by their owners. Officials at Burnsville, a city roughly 15 miles (24 kilometers) south of Minneapolis, issued a warning urging residents to stop releasing their pet fish after recovering multiple foot-long aquatic invaders from the waters of the city's Lake Keller. "Please don't release your pet goldfish into ponds and lakes!" city officials said in a statement on Twitter. "They grow bigger than you think and contribute to poor water quality by mucking up the bottom sediments and uprooting plants. Released goldfish are known to grow to several times their domesticated size and have been wreaking havoc on the ecological webs that native species depend upon to survive. But when released into the wild the teensy fish can balloon to monstrous scales; in 2013 one super-size goldfish captured in Lake Tahoe measured nearly 1.5 feet (46 cm) long and weighed over 4 pounds (2 kilograms) And despite their propensity to die while in captivity, the fish are as tough as they come in the wild — capable of living 25 years and surviving for up to five months without any oxygen. (The fish evolved to live in ponds that freeze over in the winter, so their bodies will instead convert carbohydrates into alcohol during this period, which they release through their gills). When these traits are coupled with rapid reproductive rates, goldfish are quickly able to dominate new habitats at the cost of native species. Officials in Minnesota's nearby Carver County removed about 50,000 goldfish from local waters in November 2020, according to the Washington Post. The county has signed an $88,000 contract with a consulting firm to figure out how to better manage the rogue shoals. "A few goldfish might seem to some like a harmless addition to the local water body — but they're not," according to a statement from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. "Goldfish are in the minnow family and can work their way through city stormwater ponds and into lakes and streams downstream with big impacts, by rapidly reproducing, surviving harsh winters, and feeding in and stirring up the bottom like their close relatives, the common carp." Minnesota isn't the only part of North America suffering from goldfish invasions. Alberta, Canada is also facing similar problems, and officials near Spokane, Washington, have committed $150,000 to rehabilitating a nearby lake, KHQ news reported. Source

“Simplified to the point of crudity, it seems almost needlessly ugly, but it is full of original ideas planned to cut weight and cost and increase production,” we reported. Its steel box-frame chassis bore on each side two suspension arms linked by tension rods to a central cylinder containing a spring; and had a very thin steel body welded to it (with a canvas roof), home at the front to air-cooled 375cc flat-twin with a three-speed gearbox; and the four ‘seats’ inside cushions held to frames by rubber bands. Top speed was just 37mph, but economy was a superb 50-60mpg. It cost a mere £213 (£5970 today) – £71 less than even Renault’s 4CV. Quelle surprise that the French went mad for it, making it the first car to sell a million and a cultural icon. It lasted right up until 1990, with some nine million produced. Amid the severe austerity of the 2CV and its rivals from various other French firms, Ford France’s new V8 Vedette was “comparatively a breath of sanity, an example of how modern quantity production can reach to the best standards”. In addition to its fast little 600cc saloon, Panhard presented “a startling streamlined four-seater body of aircraft inspiration on the same chassis”. Peugeot’s 203, meanwhile, was “deservedly one of the big attractions of the salon”, not least as it moved past chassis construction in favour of a monocoque. This was something also adopted by Rovin for its latest two-door economy car. Mathis, having been refused permission to produce its miniature, even after converting it into a four-wheeler, presented a fascinating new prototype; Wimille progressed in its efforts to bring a sporty option to the class; and new firm Brandt brought a bizarre little thing with its doors front and rear. At the other end of the spectrum, there was lots of stunningly elegant coachwork to be admired, sitting on Alfa Romeo, Bentley, Delahaye, Ferrari, Lancia and Talbot chassis. Saoutchik’s gold-plated coupé interior might have strayed into insulting territory, mind you... Austin of Longbridge and Morris of Cowley had been fierce rivals since the formative days of the British car industry, so it was a shock when they agreed “a constant interchange of information on production methods, costs, purchases, design, research, patents and all other items likely to result in manufacturing economies”. The tensions between bosses Lord Nuffield and Leonard Lord initially proved too difficult, the deal called off in 1949, but they must have resolved their differences, as in 1952 they agreed to merge into the BMC. A new V8 roadster for Britain Sydney Allard began motor racing in 1929 and soon was building his own specials; and immediately post-war, he set up a firm in his name to build sports cars using Ford parts, these being easy to source and maintain. The J was a racer, the K a roadster and the L a four-seat open tourer, each having the Pilot’s steel chassis and 3.6-litre V8. The K impressed our testers by how it raced to 60mph in a quick 13.6sec and on to 86mph; climbed hills swiftly and easily; and handled the old-fashioned way, not presenting a steep learning curve.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The prosecutor and defense attorney for Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz agreed Tuesday that his 2018 attack that killed 17 people was horrible, but disagreed in their closing arguments on whether it was an act of evil worthy of execution or one of a broken person who should be imprisoned for life. Lead prosecutor Mike Satz and his defense counterpart, Melisa McNeill, painted for the 12 jurors competing pictures of what drove Cruz's attack at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Valentine's Day. For Satz, Cruz was driven by antisocial personality disorder — in lay terms, he's a sociopath. He deserves a death sentence because he "was hunting his victims" as he stalked a three-story classroom building for seven minutes. He fired his AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle into some victims at close range and returned to wounded victims as they lay helpless "to finish them off." Satz pointed to Cruz's internet writings and videos, where he talked about his murderous desires such as when he wrote, "No mercy, no questions, double tap. I am going to kill a ... ton of people and children." "It is said that what one writes and says is a window into their soul," Satz said as the three-month trial neared its conclusion. The killings, he said, "were unrelentlessly heinous, atrocious and cruel." McNeill said neither Cruz nor herself has ever denied what he did and that "he knew right from wrong and he chose wrong." But she said the former Stoneman Douglas student is "a broken, brain-damaged, mentally ill young man," doomed from conception by the heavy drinking and drug use of his birth mother during pregnancy. She argued for a sentence of life without parole, assuring them he will never walk free again. "It's the right thing to do. Mercy is what makes us civilized. Giving mercy to Nikolas will say more about who you are than it will ever say about him," McNeill told the jury. Cruz, 24, pleaded guilty a year ago to murdering 14 students and three staff members and wounding 17 others. The jury will only decide his sentence, and a unanimous vote is required for death. Jurors can vote for death if they believe the prosecution's aggravating factors such as the multiple deaths and the planning outweigh the defense's mitigating circumstances such as his birth mother's drinking. They can also vote for life out of mercy for Cruz. Deliberations are expected to begin Wednesday. Cruz, dressed in an off-white sweater, sat impassively during the presentations, occasionally exchanging notes with his attorneys. A large number of the victims' parents, wives and family members packed their section of the courtroom, many of them weeping during Satz's presentation. The mother of a murdered 14-year-old girl fled the courtroom before bursting into loud sobs in the hallway. Just minutes earlier, the families had greeted each other with smiles, handshakes and hugs. "They all knew what was going on, what was going to happen," Satz said. As he had during the trial, Satz played security videos of the shooting and showed photos. He talked about the death of one 14-year-old girl. Cruz shot her and then went back to shoot her again, putting his gun against her chest. "Right on her skin. She was shot four times and she died," Satz said. He then noted a YouTube comment, which jurors saw during the trial, in which Cruz said: "I don't mind shooting a girl in the chest." "That's exactly what he did," Satz said. His voice breaking, Satz concluded his two-hour presentation by reciting the victims' names, then saying that for their murders "the appropriate sentence for Nikolas Cruz is the death penalty." McNeill during her presentation acknowledged the horror Cruz inflicted and said jurors have every right to be angry, "but how many times have we made decisions based solely on anger and regretted it?" She focused on her belief that heavy drinking by his birth mother, Brenda Woodard, during pregnancy left him with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. She said that accounts for his bizarre, troubling and sometimes violent behavior starting at age 2. "There is no time in our lives when we are more vulnerable to the will and the whims of another human being than when we are growing and developing in the wombs of our mothers," McNeill said. Woodard "poisoned him in the womb. He was doomed in the womb." She said Cruz's increasingly erratic personality left his widowed adoptive mother, Lynda Cruz, overwhelmed. He punched holes in walls when he lost video games, destroyed furniture and killed animals. Visitors described the home as "a war zone," McNeill said. She pleaded with the jurors to give Cruz a life sentence, telling them that even if they are the only holdout they shouldn't fear what the reaction will be from the families or the community. Gesturing toward the victims' families, she said, "There is no punishment you could ever give Nikolas Cruz that would ever make him suffer as much as those people have and as much as they will continue to suffer every single day." "Sentencing Nikolas to death will not change that. It will not bring back those 17 dead people. Sentencing Nikolas to death will literally serve no purpose other than vengeance," she said. Instead, she said, "Look into your heart. Look into your soul. The right thing here, not the po[CENSORED]r thing, is a life sentence." Cruz's massacre is the deadliest mass shooting that has ever gone to trial in the U.S. Nine other people in the U.S. who fatally shot at least 17 people died during or immediately after their attacks by suicide or police gunfire. The suspect in the 2019 massacre of 23 at an El Paso, Texas, Walmart is awaiting trial. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/10/11/parkland-school-shooter-jury-decide-death-prison-sentencing/10471944002/
