MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — Five people have been arrested on child endangerment and child neglect charges in Mandan and two of them are also accused of dealing drugs.
Police went to a home Tuesday for a welfare check and say they found five children under age 7 who were filthy. Four more children live in the home, but were at school. The five adults, including three men and two women, are charged with child endangerment and child neglect. Police say they found marijuana plants, processed marijuana, jars for growing hallucinogenic mushrooms and drug paraphernalia in the home.
The Bismarck Tribune says two of the five are also charged with manufacturing a controlled substance and possessing drug paraphernalia. Court documents do not list attorneys for the defendants.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota regulator says a 2015 pipeline spill of natural gas liquids initially reported as just 10 gallons could top 1 million gallons.
North Dakota regulators say about 837,000 gallons (3.17 million liters) of natural gas liquids has been recovered from the spill.
The agency updated cleanup progress at Oneok Partners’ Garden Creek gas plant in western North Dakota on Tuesday.
Water Quality Division Director Karl Rockeman said Wednesday that public scrutiny has prompted the agency to provide timely updates.
He says about 90,000 gallons (340,677 liters) of contaminated groundwater also has been recovered at the plant near Watford City.
Regulators never updated the size of the spill, even as Oklahoma-based Oneok updated the state on cleanup.

Standing Rock Sioux Chairman Mike Faith says his tribe has allocated $50,000 that will be used for advertising about the upcoming survey.
Wayne Ducheneaux (DOO’-shah-now) II, executive director of the Minnesota-based Native Governance Center, says many tribal members are worried the census numbers will be used against them.
Ducheneaux, a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of South Dakota, recalled how 2010 census workers visited a hotel on the reservation and shared stories about some residents releasing their dogs to attack them.

ABACO, Bahamas (AP) — Thousands of desperate hurricane survivors in the Bahamas are seeking help in Dorian’s aftermath.
One 89-year-old woman and her caretaker waited five days for assistance after the storm blew out their windows and flooded the home with sewage. The storm’s devastation came into sharper focus Wednesday as the death toll climbed to 20 and many people emerged from shelters to check on their homes. They confronted a debris-strewn landscape across Abaco and Grand Bahama islands.
The Bahamian government sent hundreds of police and marines into the stricken islands, along with doctors, nurses and other health care workers. The U.S. Coast Guard, Britain’s Royal Navy and relief organizations including the United Nations and the Red Cross also joined the burgeoning effort.
Dorian is now headed up the Southeastern U.S. coast.

European Commission spokeswoman Mina Andreeva said Thursday that “for the talks to make progress we would need to receive concrete proposals that are compatible with the withdrawal agreement.”
Andreeva says that U.K. negotiator David Frost and his EU counterparts have “agreed to meet again on Friday” in Brussels, following a first meeting on Wednesday.
She declined to speculate on developments in the British Parliament, saying: “Our working assumption is that Brexit should occur on the 31st of October as was demanded by the U.K.”
(AP) Weeks after The Associated Press published a story outlining harassment allegations against opera legend Placido Domingo, new women have come forward to say that the superstar groped them, harassed them or behaved inappropriately.
Eleven women shared new stories about encounters with Domingo, who is currently the general director of LA Opera. One woman said he forcefully grabbed her breast under her robe backstage in 1999 and others said his actions included unwanted touching or attempts to kiss them.
Several backstage employees described for the AP how they strove to shield young women from the superstar as administrators looked the other way, as recently as LA Opera’s 2016-2017 season.
In a statement, Domingo’s spokeswoman called the allegations “riddled with inconsistencies” but provided no specifics.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An Afghan official says the Taliban have detonated a car bomb in front of an Afghan military base that houses members of the country’s special forces and that a small number of international forces also were in the area.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.
The blast comes a few hours after a Taliban suicide bomber detonated his explosives-laden vehicle at a checkpoint in Kabul, outside a compound where Afghan national security authorities have offices. The Interior Ministry says at least 10 civilians were killed in that attack.
BEIJING (AP) — China’s Commerce Ministry says talks with the United States on ending their tariff war will take place in early October in Washington, later than previously planned.
