LOS ANGELES (AP) — When SpaceX launched a rocket carrying an Argentine Earth-observation satellite from California, both the night sky and social media lit up. People as far away as Sacramento, Phoenix and Reno, Nevada, posted photos of the Falcon 9 rocket's launch and return on Sunday night. It was the first time SpaceX landed a first-stage booster back at its launch site at Vandenberg Air Force Base, about 130 miles (209 kilometers) northwest of Los Angeles. The Air Force warned residents on the... Читать дальше...

President Trump went further on Monday than he has before in dismissing sexual misconduct allegations against Justice Brett Kavanaugh as the creation of political opponents, calling them a “hoax” and “fabricated.” With Kavanaugh now confirmed and sworn in, Trump moved beyond simply questioning the credibility of his accusers to asserting that their stories were made up entirely. Last week he mocked the main accuser, Palo Alto University professor Christine Blasey Ford, for gaps in her memory but... Читать дальше...

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump drew an enthusiastic response from a law-and-order crowd Monday, advocating the use of "stop and frisk" policing and saying he has directed the Justice Department to work with local officials in Chicago to stem violence in the nation's third-largest city. "The crime spree is a terrible blight on that city," he said at a convention of the International Association of Chiefs of Police. Trump said he had ordered Attorney General Jeff Sessions to "immediately"... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON — President Trump said Monday he has no plans to fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, delivering a reprieve for the Justice Department official whose future has been the source of intense speculation for two weeks. Trump told reporters at the White House that he had “a very good relationship” with Rosenstein and was eager to speak with him aboard Air Force One on a flight to Florida for the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference. They did talk, for about 45 minutes... Читать дальше...

Brendan Dassey remains locked up on Season 2 of Netflix’s “Making a Murderer,” but the convicted rapist and murderer is not completely removed from society. He’s still got screen time, for example, and Dassey prefers to use it on his favorite TV show, Fox’s “Lethal Weapon.” During the fourth episode of what Netflix prefers to call “Part 2,” Steven Avery’s nephew shares a few phone calls with his mother Barb and stepfather Scott Tadych. One of those he wants to keep short. Read the full article... Читать дальше...

There was little movement in The Chronicle’s Top 25 high school football rankings, despite six teams losing last week. That’s because all six lost to other ranked teams. The one team to leave the rankings was No. 23 Terra Nova-Pacifica, which trailed No. 16 Menlo-Atherton 30-0 and was never in it. Replacing the Tigers at the No. 25 spot is another Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division squad, Sacred Heart Prep-Atherton (6-0), one of eight Bay Area undefeated teams. The top seven spots remain in tact, though St. Читать дальше...

In most games last season, when he went to guard a pick-and-roll, Warriors forward Draymond Green saw an opposing player wave him off. It was a repeated reminder that teams still considered him one of the league’s top few defenders. However, media didn’t necessarily agree. After finishing in the top two of Defensive Player of the Year voting three seasons in a row, Green wasn’t even considered a serious candidate for the award in 2018. Now, with little more than a week until Golden State’s season opener against Oklahoma City... Читать дальше...

Two Americans won the Nobel Prize in economics on Monday, one for studying the economics of climate change and the other for showing how to help foster the innovation needed to solve such a problem. William Nordhaus of Yale University and Paul Romer of New York University will share the 9 million-kronor ($1.01 million) award, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said. Nordhaus has called for the world to combat climate change by imposing a universal tax on carbon. Carbon dioxide, which is emitted when fossil fuels are burned... Читать дальше...

Preventing an extra single degree of heat could make a life-or-death difference in the next few decades for multitudes of people and ecosystems on this fast-warming planet, an international panel of scientists reported. But they provide little hope the world will rise to the challenge. The Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued its gloomy report Sunday at a meeting in Incheon, South Korea. In the 728-page document, the U.N. organization detailed how Earth’s weather,... Читать дальше...

Fox News Channel reaped the benefits of the Brett Kavanaugh vote and confirmation this weekend, earnings the cable network’s most-watched Saturday primetime since the Iraq War in 2003. In terms of total-day viewers, it was Fox’s best Saturday since Hurricane Katrina in ’05. For the vote and Kavanaugh’s ultimate confirmation, which spanned 3-5 p.m. ET, Fox News averaged 4.3 million total viewers, with 819,000 of those coming from the key 25-54 demographic. That overall haul is more than double the combined tune-in for competitors CNN and MSNBC... Читать дальше...

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Nationalists will stay firmly in power after Bosnia’s general election, deepening the ethnic divide in the country that went through a brutal war in 1992-95, according to updated results on Monday. Nationalist parties will dominate the Bosnian state parliament and those in the Serb mini-state and the Muslim-Croat region, according to results of Sunday’s balloting released by election authorities. The tally of more than 80 percent of ballots also confirmed a pro-Russia... Читать дальше...

Anders Lee, Scott Mayfield, Matt Martin and Casey Cizikas scored to help New York get new coach Barry Trotz his first win at home. The Islanders, who opened the season with an overtime win at Carolina last Thursday, then lost their home opener to Nashville two nights later.

ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey has summoned the Saudi ambassador to request the kingdom’s “full cooperation” in an investigation into the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who Turkish officials say was killed while visiting the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul. Khashoggi, 59, went missing last Tuesday while visiting the consulate for paperwork to marry his Turkish fiancee. A Turkish official said the Saudi ambassador met with Deputy Foreign Minister Sedat Onal on Sunday at the ministry. The Turkish... Читать дальше...

The vehicle overturned and the passenger was ejected to sustain life-threatening injuries... Читать дальше...

BEIJING — A year ago, the chief of Interpol, Meng Hongwei of China, watched as his country’s president, Xi Jinping, proudly told the organization that China would play a growing role in global law enforcement. China was among the safest countries in the world and “abided by international rules,” Xi told 1,000 delegates at Interpol’s general assembly in Beijing. Now, Meng has fallen afoul of the opaque, highly politicized legal system that critics said should have disqualified him from appointment to Interpol in the first place. Читать дальше...

BEIJING — In unusually blunt language to a U.S. secretary of state, China’s foreign minister accused the United States on Monday of interfering in its internal affairs and of harming his nation’s interests on the question of Taiwan. In a face-to-face exchange with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, the foreign minister, Wang Yi, chided the Trump administration for “ceaselessly elevating” trade tensions and “casting a shadow” over relations between the two countries. Pompeo, who sat across the table from Wang at the start of talks in Beijing... Читать дальше...

Let’s take a trip to Fantasy Island. You won’t get a tan, a Mai-tai or a souvenir t-shirt on this island, but you will get a glimpse of the Oakland A’s future. The immediate future of the A’s, on the field, was decided by last Wednesday’s American League wild-card playoff game against the Yankees in New York. Oakland lost and it’s on to next season. For the organization, however, the off-the-field goal is a new ballpark, maybe on Fantasy Island. Fantasy Island is actually Howard Terminal, a huge parking lot for shipping containers.

Michael Peña will follow in the steps of Ricardo Montalban as Mr. Roarke, the owner of “Fantasy Island,” in Sony Pictures’ upcoming film reboot of the classic 70s TV series. Produced by Blumhouse and directed by Jeff Wadlow, who helmed “Truth or Dare” for the studio, “Fantasy Island” followed Roarke as he was visited by travelers to the island who pay a hefty sum to see their wildest fantasy become reality, only for such a fantasy to become a serious case of “be careful what you wish for.” Also Read...
