German Nurse 'Killed At Least 100'

Toxicology tests suggest a German former nurse murdered at least 100 people at two hospitals where he worked, prosecutors say. Detectives believe Niels Hoegel, who is already serving a life sentence for two murders, systematically administered fatal doses of heart medication to people in his care. He wanted to impress colleagues by resuscitating them but many died. Fresh charges against him are expected next year. Hoegel is now said to have killed 38 patients in Oldenburg and 62 in Delmenhorst, both in northern Germany, between 1999 and 2005. Investigators say he may have killed more but potential victims have been cremated. If found guilty of all the deaths, he would become one of Germany's worst post-war serial killers. The investigation into Hoegel was widened when he admitted killing up to 30 people during his 2015 trial, when he was convicted of two murders, two attempted murders and harming patients. Investigators exhumed 130 former patients, looking for traces of medication...

"I came out to see what was happening. I saw water going down ... When I moved up to three meters, I saw this whole mountain coming." A massive mudslide, sparked by heavy rains and flooding in an area that has suffered years of deforestation, was speeding down the slopes of Mount Sugar Loaf, towards his home in one of the makeshift shanty towns that dotted the hillside. Manga survived, but an entire generation of his family was swept away in t...

#2. Trump's wiretapping accusation comes to a head at Comey hearing

Allegations makes waves among allies at home and abroad Trump's tweets are not just causing a political kerfuffle; they've sparked international diplomatic fallout. White House efforts to support the claims ended up embroiling two key European allies: Britain and Germany. Officials in London were livid that White House spokesman Sean Spicer cited an unsubstantiated report that Britain's Government Communications Headquarters -- the British equivalent of the NSA -- had been used by Obama in the operation. Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose phone was once tapped by US intelligence, did not take kindly to Trump's quip that they had something in common Friday. Also Friday, Trump's Justice Department sent classified information to Capitol Hill about the claims, but sources said it did not substantiate them. The apparent lack of evidence for Trump's claims is causing consternation among the President's Republican allies and Democrats alike, and speculat...

Trump's wiretapping accusation comes to a head at Comey hearing

The bizarre saga of President Donald Trump's claims that he was wiretapped by President Barack Obama last year reaches a dramatic climax Monday with FBI Director James Comey's testimony to the House Intelligence Committee. It's a moment of political theater that could end in humiliation for Trump, with Comey expected to say that there was no wiretapping, debunking allegations that Trump has repeatedly refused to withdraw. The hearing could also shed light on the state of FBI investigations into the extent of Russian meddling in the election campaign. Republicans hope Comey will state that there is no evidence of collusion between Trump aides and officials from Moscow, a move that could begin to break up a cloud of Russian intrigue that has stifled the early weeks of the administration. Trump was trying to shift attention away from the wiretapping claims in a series of Monday morning tweets. "James Clapper and others stated that there is no evidence Potus colluded with ...
