CANNON BALL, N.D. (AP) — Another potential clash between Dakota Access oil pipeline protesters and law officers over a disputed bridge in southern North Dakota on Monday, has eased.

The bridge on state Highway 1806 is near the protesters’ main camp. It’s been shut down for weeks because authorities say it might be unsafe due to earlier fires set by protesters. Protesters say the closed bridge blocks emergency services and their access to pipeline construction sites.

The two sides clashed overnight, with officers using tear gas, rubber bullets and water sprays against protesters they say assaulted officers with rocks and burning logs.

Protesters and police massed at the bridge again Monday morning. Protesters went back to the camp Monday afternoon at the request of Standing Rock Sioux elders, after reports of firearms in the crowd.

North Dakota’s state Capitol building is on a “soft lockdown” due to the protest against the Dakota Access oil pipeline, with the doors locked but members of the public being granted access if they have legitimate business.

The Highway Patrol provides security for the Capitol. Lt. Tom Iverson says the soft lockdown was put in place Monday due to protesters being in the Bismarck area. They’ve previously demonstrated at the Capitol.

Iverson says state workers can get into the Capitol with their security key cards. He says members of the public who have legitimate business are being granted access by officers staffing the entrances.

A small group of protesters briefly blocked traffic in downtown Bismarck on Monday morning.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Relatives in North Dakota will soon travel to Hawaii where the remains of their loved one who survived the attack at Pearl Harbor will be interned with those of his identical twin who was killed when the Japanese attacked 75 years ago.

WDAY-TV  reports, Pearl Harbor survivor John Anderson died in 2015, and his remains were cremated. His family members in Fargo-Moorhead will travel to Hawaii to bury him at the USS Arizona Memorial on Dec. 7 next to his brother Jake Anderson.

Keith Anderson, John and Jake Anderson’s nephew, say Jake Anderson was killed by machine gunfire while trying to retrieve his guns on the deck. John Anderson, who was burned and injured, rescued others.

Over 11,000 people died in the attack on Dec. 7, 1941. Of the 319 who survived, only five remain.

In world and national news…

NEW YORK (AP) — A Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee says she’s had a “frank and positive” conversation with President-elect Donald Trump about Syria. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii says in a statement that she shared with Trump her opposition to creating a no-fly zone over Syria. Gabbard says that would “lead to more death and suffering,” worsen the refugee crisis and strengthen the Islamic State group. Gabbard is also an Army National Guard major. She resigned her post in the Democratic National Committee earlier this year after endorsing Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Nearly two weeks after the election, North Carolina Democratic gubernatorial candidate Roy Cooper is intensifying efforts to pressure Republican incumbent Pat McCrory to concede. Cooper has said repeatedly that he won the race — and Monday, he unveiled his transition team. Unofficial results show Cooper leads McCrory by 6,550 votes. But McCrory shows no signs of giving up. His campaign points to formal protests in dozens of counties.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A federal court says voting districts drawn by Wisconsin Republicans are unconstitutional. The ruling Monday is a major victory for Democrats who have been in the minority for six years and lost ground in this year’s election. A three-judge panel tossed maps drawn by Republican lawmakers five years ago, saying they violate the voting rights of Democrats.

NEW YORK (AP) — The nation’s second-largest commuter railroad is no longer allowing engineers to operate trains while they are being treated for sleep apnea. New Jersey Transit said it made the change last month after a deadly crash in which the engineer was later found to have sleep apnea. Federal regulators are targeting the fatigue-inducing disorder this week with a new safety bulletin urging all railroads to screen engineers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A new study predicts daily heat records are going to be broken far more often than cold ones in the United States. Normally, the nation sets about the same number of hot and cold records over several years. But that’s not happening with more than twice as many heat records than cold since 2010. A study in today’s Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences predicts as climate change worsens, that ratio will eventually be around 15 heat records for every cold one.
