BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota regulators have set another deadline for Meridian Energy Group to begin construction on its $1 billion oil refinery near Theodore Roosevelt National Park or risk losing its permit. Meridian’s permit from the state Department of Environmental Quality was set to expire last Saturday unless construction had begun on the Davis Refinery. Earlier this month the company asked for an extension on that deadline, citing delays related to the coronavirus pandemic and litigation. Regulators granted an extension until Sept. 12 to start construction, a month short of what Meridian had requested.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Federal regulators say a Colorado company has agreed to settle alleged Clean Water Act violations stemming from the company’s oil production activities in North Dakota. The Environmental Protection Agency says Phoenix Petroleum LLC has agreed to pay a $50,000 penalty as part of the settlement. The EPA says inspections of two of the company’s tank batteries in Divide and Williams counties in 2015 found inadequate spill prevention plans and containment measures. The EPA says the problems have been corrected. Federal regulators say discharges from the facilities have the potential to impact White Earth Creek, a tributary to the White Earth River.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A truck driver who drove through a large crowd of protesters on a Minneapolis highway last year during demonstrations following the death of George Floyd will have criminal charges dropped if he remains law-abiding for the next year. Bogdan Vechirko was charged with a felony count of making threats of violence and with criminal vehicular operation, a gross misdemeanor. Vechirko told investigators he didn’t mean to drive into the protest or hurt anyone as he was returning from a fuel delivery in Minneapolis. Nobody was seriously hurt during the incident.

 

In world and national news…

TAN-TAN, Morocco (AP) — A senior U.S. general has warned that the “wildfire of terrorism” is sweeping across a band of Africa and needs the attention of the world. He spoke Friday at the close of large U.S.-led war games with American, African and European troops. African Lion, which lasted nearly two weeks, stretched across Morocco, a key U.S, ally, with smaller exercises held in Tunisia and in Senegal. Gen. Stephen J. Townsend, head of the U.S. Africa Command, praised the work accomplished, and painted a dark picture of threats besetting parts of the African continent. He noted deadly attacks by al-Qaida- and Islamic State-linked jihadis and al-Shabab. “All of them are on the march,” he said.

 

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Gunmen abducted scores of children from a school in northwest Nigeria, the second kidnapping from a school in the country’s north within a week. Police spokesman Nafiu Abubakar said a policeman was killed in Thursday’s attack at the Federal Government College in Birnin Yauri in Kebbi State. The Lagos-based Guardian newspaper, quoting an eyewitness and a school staff member, said about 70 children were abducted from the school. The report said that some students were taken away in two vans while others were put on motorcycles. The Yauri incident is the seventh mass abduction from a school in Nigeria this year.

 

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The outgoing U.N. humanitarian chief is warning that the explosion in people needing humanitarian assistance in recent years will keep getting worse until major powers tackle the root causes of hunger and desperation — conflicts, extremism, climate change, poor governance, corruption and violence, to name a few. Mark Lowcock, who steps down Friday after four years, told The Associated Press that unfortunately the world has been dealing with symptoms. He pointed to people displaced by fighting and natural disasters or at risk of famine, which is now stalking Ethiopia’s embattled Tigray region and Yemen. He called for a much bigger effort to help poorer countries out of the pandemic, and said the G-7 should do more than just donating vaccines.

 

(AP)  Videos released under court order provide a chilling new look at the chaos at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, including body camera footage that shows a man charging at a police officer with a flagpole. Federal judges ordered the release of the videos after media organizations, including The Associated Press, went to court to request that the Department of Justice provide access. The videos are being presented as evidence in prosecutors’ cases against three men charged with assaulting police. The new videos show a Marine Corps veteran and former New York City police officer wielding a flagpole as he attacks police as well as rioters crushing another officer into a door as he yells in pain.

 

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — An Arkansas man who was arrested after he was photographed sitting at a desk in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office during the January U.S. Capitol riot won’t be allowed to travel for a classic-car swap meet. A federal judge on Friday rejected Richard Barnett’s request to loosen his restrictions on how far he can travel while awaiting trial. Barnett can travel only up to 50 miles from his Gravette, Arkansas, residence. Barnett’s attorneys said he needed to travel to make a living buying and selling classic cars. Federal prosecutors opposed the request.

 

 

 

PHOENIX (AP) — Investigators are trying to determine why a gunman opened fire on vehicles and pedestrians for some 90 minutes across suburban Phoenix, leaving one person dead and a dozen others injured. Authorities believe a man they arrested Thursday acted alone in the string of drive-by shootings. One victim was able to give authorities a description of the vehicle and the license plate number. Authorities caught up with him in a retail area and took him into custody without incident. There were at least eight separate shootings in three cities that stoked fear throughout metro Phoenix and shut down parts of major freeways.
