BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Abnormally dry weather may have helped boost the number of American white pelicans nesting in north-central North Dakota known as North America’s largest refuge for the big-billed birds. Results of an aerial survey show 16,600 pelicans nesting at the Chase Lake National Wildlife Refuge, an increase of about 2,400 birds from a year ago when high water gobbled up much of their nesting grounds. Jennifer Jewett, a wildlife refuge specialist, says the main nesting island is only about half the size it was seven years ago. She says the drought that has parched the state may have helped curb rising water at the main nesting island.

 

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Highway Patrol says one person has died after eight vehicles crashed on a highway west of Grand Forks. A semi, multiple pick-up trucks, a boat, trailer and several other cars were involved in the crash on Highway 2 about 7:30 a.m. Friday. Sgt. Jeff Bauske says the patrol took a report of a semi being driven recklessly just before the crash. The accident shut down the highway while the scene was cleared.

 

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — The attorney for a man accused of killing his mother and a Grand Forks police officer says the defendant will take the stand to testify during his trial, which got underway this week. Salamah Pendleton is accused of shooting at officers who were trying to execute an order to evict him and his mother, Lola Moore, from a Grand Forks apartment in May of last year. Moore and Officer Cody Holte were killed during an exchange of gunfire. Another officer was wounded in the shootout. Defense attorney, Steven Mottinger, told jurors that Pendleton is looking forward to telling his story.

 

ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) — A North Dakota man is being held on possible charges of making terroristic threats after an incident that brought the bomb squad to an Aberdeen park this week. Police were called to Wylie Park around noon Wednesday on reports that a man was talking about “blowing things up” and was burying things in the sand. The park was locked down and the Highway Patrol’s bomb-sniffing dog was brought to the scene. The state Division of Criminal Investigation’s bomb squad responded and a large search of the park was done but no explosives were found. The 33-year-old man was arrested and taken to the Brown County Jail.

SURFSIDE, Fla. (AP) — The tally of the missing in the Florida condominium collapse has been substantially reduced, from 145 to 128. Officials said Friday that the number declined after duplicate names were eliminated and some people reported missing turned up safe. Authorities also announced the recovery of two more bodies, including the 7-year-old daughter of a Miami firefighter. That raised the confirmed death toll to 20 people. Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said an audit of the missing revealed that, in some cases, a person may have been moved to the “accounted for” list when, in fact, an entire family had been found to be safe.

 

SURFSIDE, Fla. (AP) — Dozens who fled the collapse of a condominium tower in South Florida escaped with their lives, but little else. The disaster that killed at least 20 people, with more than 120 still missing, has also left many survivors homeless. Susana Alvarez had just her pajamas and her cellphone when she abandoned her 10th-floor apartment. Now she’s staying with friends who gave her a computer and clothing. And she found a condo where she can stay rent-free in July. Officials said Thursday they will likely end up demolishing parts of the building still standing, meaning even condos in parts of the building that didn’t collapse would be a total loss.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania’s Republican-controlled Senate is considering an investigation into how last year’s presidential election was conducted. It’s a quest fueled by former President Donald Trump’s baseless claims that fraud was behind his loss in Pennsylvania. An Arizona-style “election audit” will face strident opposition from Democrats and, almost certainly, challenges in Pennsylvania’s courts. Senate Republicans have been mostly silent about their internal deliberations. Sen. Doug Mastriano, who has talked of bringing an Arizona-style audit to Pennsylvania, led a private briefing Wednesday for Republican senators. He also solicited legal advice from a Philadelphia-based law firm about using private money to finance consultants and lawyers.

 

(AP)  President Joe Biden says he’s concerned lives will be unnecessarily lost to COVID-19 as unvaccinated people contract and transmit the coronavirus over the July 4 holiday. Speaking to reporters on Friday, Biden emphasized that for most Americans who are vaccinated, the holiday weekend will be worth celebrating. Says Biden: “This year is different than the Fourth of July of last year and it’s going to be better next year.” But the president says he’s worried about those who haven’t yet gotten a shot.“I am concerned that people who have not gotten vaccinated have the capacity to catch the variant and spread the variant to other people who have not been vaccinated,” he says. “But I am concerned. Lives will be lost.”

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is hitting 22 senior Myanmar officials and their families with sanctions over the government’s crackdown on democracy protests after the coup. Treasury announced the move against seven members of the Myanmar military and 15 spouses and adult children of previously sanctioned officials as part of the U.S. response to the February coup and subsequent violence against demonstrators. Friday’s action was accompanied by the removal of sanctions on three Iranian industrial executives whom the Trump administration penalized in 2020 for supporting Iran’s ballistic missile program. Also Friday, Treasury issued a final rule revoking Trump-era sanctions against International Criminal Court prosecutors and staff.

 

PARIS (AP) — French prosecutors have opened an investigation into alleged involvement in crimes against humanity based on claims that global retailers rely on forced labor in China. Human rights groups filed a legal complaint that includes accusations against retailers including Uniqlo and the makers of Skechers shoes and Zara clothes. The rights groups say the companies are benefiting from a Chinese system of repression against Uyghur and other Muslim minorities in the Xinjiang region. The Chinese government on Friday reiterated denials of any forced labor in Xinjiang, and lashed out at what it called interference in its internal affairs.

 

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The United Nations human rights agency says that prisoners taken by the warring parties in the separatist conflict in eastern Ukraine have endured systematic torture, sexual violence and other abuses. Friday’s report issued by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) noted that prisoners’ abuse was particularly rampant in the initial stage of the seven-year conflict but continues to this day. The OHCHR said that both sides used secret detention facilities immune from any prosecutorial oversight or access by rights monitors. The government side stopped using those facilities in 2017 but separatists continue holding prisoners incommunicado, barring access to their relatives and monitors.
