7 bodies found during search for missing Oklahoma teens

HENRYETTA, Okla. (AP) — Authorities searching a rural Oklahoma property for two missing teenagers discovered the bodies of seven people Monday, including the suspected remains of the teens and a convicted sex offender who was sought along with them, the local sheriff said.

Okmulgee County Sheriff Eddy Rice said the state medical examiner will have to confirm the identities of the victims, but “we believe that we have found the persons.” He said the bodies were believed to include those of 14-year-old Ivy Webster and 16-year-old Brittany Brewer, along with Jesse McFadden, the felon authorities had said the teens were traveling with.

DOT to grant almost $1B to mitigate future warming, but slow to reduce infant deaths in hot cars

Infrastructure bill enacted in November 2021 required auto industry to install technology in new cars to prevent infant deaths in hot cars, but Sen. Richard Blumenthal says Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg isn't moving fast enough on the issue.

Even as the Department of Transportation gets set to award almost a billion dollars in infrastructure funds to mitigate speculative risks associated with projected climate warming in the distant future, Secretary Pete Buttigieg has been slow, according to a powerful Democratic senator, to implement legislation requiring new car technology to prevent infant deaths in hot cars.

"We lost more than 1,000 children to hot cars, death traps, already just in recent years," Connecticut Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal said Monday at a news briefing with vehicle safety advocates. "We can do more. We can take this step. The Department of Transportation is lagging in promulgating this rule."

President Biden signed a $1 trillion infrastructure bill in November 2021 that directed the DOT to enact a rule that requires automakers to install an alert system in new cars as a way to prevent infant deaths in hot cars.

German chancellor speaks out on Ukrainian strikes inside Russia

Everything is being done to prevent a direct clash between NATO and Moscow, Olaf Scholz says

German chancellor speaks out on Ukrainian strikes inside Russia

Everything is being done to prevent a direct clash between NATO and Moscow, Olaf Scholz says

The German government is refraining from any unilateral steps when it comes to arming the government of Vladimir Zelensky, and is only acting in coordination with allies, Scholz stressed during a meeting with citizens in the western state of Rhineland-Palatinate on Monday. Berlin intends to stick to that policy in the future, he added.

“It’s important for us that weapons that we supply for Ukraine to defend itself aren’t used in attacks on the Russian territory,” the chancellor said.

Last month, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius argued that it was “fully normal” for Ukraine to carry out strikes inside Russia to “cut supply routes” and for other military reasons.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia launched its second large salvo of missiles at Ukraine in recent days early Monday, damaging buildings, killing two people and wounding 40 in the eastern city of Pavlohrad but failing to hit Kyiv, officials said.

Air raid sirens began blaring across the capital about 3:45 a.m., followed by explosions as Ukrainian defense systems intercepted missiles.

Eighteen cruise missiles were fired from the Murmansk and Caspian regions, and 15 of them were intercepted, said Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi.

The head of Kyiv’s city administration, Serhii Popko, said all missiles fired at the city were shot down, as well as some drones. He didn’t provide further details.

The attack follows Friday’s launch of more than 20 cruise missiles and two explosive drones at Ukraine, the first to target Kyiv in nearly two months.

In that attack, Russian missiles hit an apartment building in Uman, a city about 215 kilometers (135 miles) south of Kyiv, killing 21 people, including three children.

In Monday’s attack, missiles hit Pavlohrad, in the eastern Dnipropetrovsk region, killing two people and wounding 40, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

Seven missiles were shot at the city and “some were intercepted” but others struck an industrial facility, sparking a fire, authorities said. Damage was reported to 24 apartment buildings, 89 homes, six schools and five shops, according to regional authorities.
