The mob scene was reportedly organized on social media, part of a growing trend known as “teen takeovers,” where groups of young people coordinate meetups in public spaces.. Similar incidents have been reported in cities including Atlanta, Chicago and Washington, D.C., raising concerns among law enforcement and city leaders about safety and supervision.. As cities grapple with how to respond to these gatherings, community groups have offered a different perspective.. VIDEO SHOWS TEENS TAKE OVER CHICAGO STREETS AS MAYOR WARNS OF ‘TRENDS’ THAT CAN TURN ‘DEADLY’. Ceasefire Detroit has previously urged calm around similar gatherings, emphasizing that most teens are not involved in violence. In a past statement about “teen takeovers,” the group said that while large crowds may appear chaotic, only a small number of individuals are typically responsible for disruptions.. “From the sidewalk, it looked like chaos… but… it was only about 40 kids actually causing trouble,” the group said, adding that “most of these kids aren’t out there to do wrong; they are out there trying to be seen.”. Ceasefire Detroit has also stressed that prevention efforts should focus on engagement, saying “safety isn’t just about patrols, it’s about connection.”. VIOLENT DC TEEN TAKEOVER IN UPSCALE NEIGHBORHOOD ESCALATES TO GUNFIRE. Still, the events in Detroit have raised concerns about how quickly these gatherings can escalate.. The incident came one day after Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield stood alongside teen organizers during a Friday news conference, emphasizing the need for more spaces where young people can gather safely.. “Last week we all saw what has been called as teen takeovers happen not only in Detroit, but around the nation,” Sheffield said. “What is happening here in our city is something different… something powerful.”. She said many teens are simply looking for places where they feel welcome.. GOT A TIP?. “They want to be a part of a city and a place downtown where they feel welcome. Because Detroit and downtown is for everyone,” Sheffield said, adding that “enforcement alone is not the answer.”. Teen organizers echoed that message, saying the goal was not to cause harm..

Content: NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!. GREAT ABACO ISLAND, Bahamas — Bahamian authorities intend to wrap up their search for missing American woman Lynette Hooker in the near future, while the U.S. Coast Guard confirmed that its criminal investigation into her disappearance continues.. The island nation’s military says the search could be suspended as early as Thursday, according to an NBC report. After analyzing “tide, drift and wind,” authorities say they are running out of locations to search, the report said.. The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed to Fox News Digital on Wednesday that its criminal investigation into Lynette Hooker’s husband, Brian Hooker, remains ongoing.. Meanwhile, Hooker’s attorney, Terrel Butler, told Fox News Digital on Wednesday morning that Brian is waiting for Bahamian police to return the keys to his boat before he resumes his own search for Lynette.. LYNETTE HOOKER MISSING IN BAHAMAS: TIMELINE OF MICHIGAN WOMAN’S DISAPPEARANCE, HUSBAND’S ARREST. A local boat captain told Fox News Digital during a recreation of Brian and Lynette Hooker’s doomed dinghy ride that he was shocked Lynette’s body hadn’t been found.. Mo Monestime has spent 15 years chartering boats in the Great Abaco Island area.. “Not being found, that’s the mystery,” he said.. “It is very hard to disappear, because, again, we’re so close to land,” Monestime continued. “So if you do fall overboard [and] drown, somebody will see you the next day. Again, we can see bottom, you know? I’ll be driving the boat, I will see stingrays, I will see turtles, so I would see a human body. Somebody would see something. Somebody would say something, like, ‘Hey, we just saw something strange in the water.'”. DINGHY ROUTE TAKEN BY MISSING AMERICAN WOMAN AND JAILED HUSBAND RECREATED AS DETAILS OF DISAPPEARANCE EMERGE. Monestime said drownings happen occasionally near Elbow Cay, but then reiterated that victims are recovered quickly.. “Again, you could see land all the way, the whole time,” he said. “Even if you fall overboard in pitch dark, you still could see the lights from the shore.”. Brian Hooker, 58, was arrested and jailed last Wednesday as police investigated his wife’s disappearance. The pair left the Abaco Inn in their dinghy at around 7:30 p.m. on April 4 during rough weather. Choppy seas and high winds caused Lynette to fall overboard with the initiation key in her pocket, disabling the boat, Brian said.. LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? FIND MORE ON THE TRUE CRIME HUB. He was released from custody Monday night after five days, but the investigation remains ongoing.. Brian said that in the ensuing panic after Lynette fell off the dinghy, he tossed a flotation device to her. He said he thought she was attempting to swim to their anchored yacht, and called out to her for about an hour. He paddled and drifted for about eight hours before washing ashore at Marsh Harbour on Great Abaco Island, where local security guards at a marina assisted him.. The couple from M

Content: NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!. A Chinese researcher was sentenced to more than four months in prison after pleading guilty to smuggling Escherichia coli (E. coli) into the United States, federal prosecutors announced Tuesday.. Youhuang Xiang, 32, a former Indiana University postdoctoral researcher and Chinese national, admitted to concealing E. coli DNA in a shipment from China that was falsely labeled as women’s underwear, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Indiana.. Prosecutors said the FBI also uncovered evidence that Xiang was a member of the Chinese Communist Party and had lied about that affiliation to immigration authorities. Authorities said the case raises concerns about public safety and the integrity of federally funded research.. “Such conduct poses a very serious threat to public safety and to the health of our agricultural economy,” U.S. Attorney Tom Wheeler said.. ELITE US COLLEGES LINKED TO CHINESE SURVEILLANCE LABS DRIVING UYGHUR ‘GENOCIDE,’ STUDY WARNS. Authorities said Xiang received the package at his Bloomington, Indiana, residence in March 2024 after it was shipped from a China-based company and mislabeled on the manifest to avoid detection.. According to court documents, the FBI’s Indianapolis Division began investigating suspicious shipments from China to individuals affiliated with Indiana University in November 2025. Agents determined that Xiang had received a shipment from Guangzhou Sci-Tech Innovation Trading that was declared as “Underwear of Man-Made Fibers, Other Womens.” Investigators found the shipment unusual, given the company’s focus on science and technology products.. He was later stopped by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at Chicago O’Hare International Airport in November 2025 upon his return from a research trip to the United Kingdom. Authorities said he initially denied knowledge of the shipment before admitting the contents had intentionally concealed samples of DNA of E. coli bacteria, according to court documents.. E. coli is a bacteria that lives in the gut but can cause serious illness if harmful strains spread.. LAWMAKERS DEMAND ANSWERS AFTER SUSPECTED BIOLAB DISCOVERED IN CHINESE NATIONAL’S LAS VEGAS HOME. “Those who attempt to secretly bring biological materials into the United States are taking a serious risk with public safety,” FBI Indianapolis Special Agent in Charge Timothy J. O’Malley said.. A federal judge sentenced Xiang to more than four months in prison, along with a fine and supervised release, and ordered his removal from the United States following his sentence.. “This Chinese Communist Party member exploited a federally funded research grant… to smuggle dangerous biological material into the United States,” USDA Inspector General John Walk said.. The case is part of a broader pattern of recent prosecutions involving foreign researchers accused of smuggling biological materials into the U.S.. In November, fe

‘I might not be here’ – Stokes on being hit in face by ball

Content: Image source, Getty Images. ByMatthew Henry. BBC Sport Journalist. 40 minutes ago. 22 Comments. England captain Ben Stokes said he is “lucky” and “might not be here” had things been slightly different when he was hit in the face by a cricket ball in February.. The all-rounder was struck while working in the nets with academy players at his county Durham.. He required what he described as “pretty major facial surgery” on a broken cheekbone, which has ruled him out of action until May.. “It was a pretty scary situation,” Stokes told the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) website.. “I copped one straight in the face. Just a couple of inches one way or the other, I might not be here doing this interview if I didn’t turn my head round.. “It was a bit of a mess under here [the cheekbone]. I’ve got out quite lucky.. “Thankfully still here and everything’s all right.”. Image source, Instagram/@stokesy. Stokes has not played competitively since the end of England’s 4-1 Ashes defeat in January.. He said he is set to return for Durham in the County Championship at Worcestershire on 8 May.. In a section of the ECB interview released on Tuesday, Stokes dismissed talk of a rift with coach Brendon McCullum but said they must work in a “slightly different way”.. In the full interview, Stokes said he does not want every player to play in the same style; a lot of the criticism of England during the Ashes was warranted; and his own reaction to the series defeat proved to himself he is committed to England.. Stokes on playing style, Ashes and his future. Stokes and McCullum were appointed at the start of the 2022 and initially oversaw a sharp upturn in results while implementing a more relaxed environment and aggressive playing style.. But, having targeted last winter’s Ashes throughout the previous years, the regime came under intense scrutiny in Australia during a tour blighted by poor on-field performances, off-field issues and inadequate preparation.. Stokes said the focus in 2022 was about “bringing enjoyment back”, but “now it is about everything we do is to win, being relentless in what we do in our training and behaviour”.. Much of the criticism around the playing style has been that Stokes’ side were too one-dimensional, particularly with the bat.. They repeatedly lost wickets playing attacking shots, most notably on day two of the first Test in Perth when they squandered a good position.. “So much has been said about style and manner – are we going to change or do this?” he said.. “I don’t want people to think we all need to be playing this one mode. Whoever it may be, go out and play how you play.. “The version of yourself that got you into the position to [represent] England in the first place should be the version you carry on doing. That is a pretty clear message – you do you.”. Some of the Ashes criticism centered around the squad’s relationship with alcohol after their mid-series trip to Noosa.. It also emerged after the Ashes that white-ball capt

Starmer challenged over defence investment plan delay

Content: Starmer challenged over defence investment plan delay. 33 minutes ago. Paul SeddonPolitical reporter. Getty Image. Sir Keir Starmer has failed to say when the government’s military funding plan will be published, amid an escalating row over UK defence spending.. The prime minister is facing growing pressure to set out when the much-delayed blueprint will appear, as talks with the Treasury continue.. It comes after the Labour peer who carried out a review of defence capability last year launched a scathing public attack on the hold-up.. Former defence secretary and Nato chief Lord Robertson accused the government of “corrosive complacency” amid rising threats around the world.. Former Nato chief warns UK’s national security ‘in peril’. UK facing £28bn defence spending gap claims. Ministers have not denied reports that the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has requested billions in further funding to buy equipment following an internal assessment by officials at the department last year.. It came in the wake of Lord Robertson’s review in June, setting out plans for extra ammunition, next-generation fast jets, drones, and new attack submarines to upgrade Britain’s war-fighting capabilities.. Negotiations with the Treasury over funding this have held up the publication of a 10-year defence investment plan, which was originally due in autumn last year.. At Prime Minister’s Questions, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch pushed Sir Keir to publish the plan before the current session of Parliament ends in the coming weeks.. The prime minister replied that it would be published “as soon as possible” but declined to offer a specific date.. He hit back at Lord Robertson’s criticism, adding he did not agree with his comments and adding that Labour had increased defence funding, including by making the “difficult decision” to cut spending on overseas aid last year.. ‘Further damage’. Sir Keir also said his party had inherited “uncosted and undeliverable” investment plans from the Conservatives, pointing to cuts to Navy frigates and minehunters under the party’s watch.. In reply, Badenoch accused the prime minister of “prosecuting past governments” rather than reassuring defence companies of “what he is going to do”.. In a subsequent statement in Parliament, Defence Minister Luke Pollard insisted the government was “not waiting” on the investment plan to announce further defence projects, but was “working flat out to” get the document published.. But he faced pressure from Labour MP Tan Dhesi, who chairs the defence select committee, who warned that further delay to the plan risked “further damage to our defence-industrial base”.. The MoD’s budget is due to rise by 3.6% in real terms by 2029, under departmental spending plans fixed last year.. The investment plan is meant to replace decade-long “equipment plans” released on a rolling yearly basis until 2022, when the then-Conservative government halted publication whilst it assessed the effect of “extraordinary inflati
