<a href="https://edition.cnn.com/specials/asia/hong-kong-protests-intl-hnk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Protesters </a>set fire to the entrance of Hong Kong&#8217;s Polytechnic University early Monday to stop riot police from entering the campus, as a siege of the heavily fortified university entered its second day.
As dawn broke across the city, an enormous black cloud of smoke from the blaze hung over Hong Kong&#8217;s iconic skyline.
Inside the university, hundreds of students remained barricaded inside the main building where they have been stockpiling weapons including bows and arrows, and refusing police demands to leave immediately.
It followed a night of violence as students hurled petrol bombs at Hong Kong police, who deployed water cannons and warned that if given no other choice they would use &#8220;live rounds.&#8221;
The president of the university&#8217;s student union said in a statement posted to Facebook early Monday morning that thousands of students still on the campus, some of whom were injured. &#8220;We have tried to communicate with school authorities, but we have not received any reply after more than two hours,&#8221; the president Derek Liu said.
Liu accused riot police of storming the collegiate area of PolyU and carrying &#8220;a massive arrest&#8221; of protesters. In a statement, police said claims that police &#8220;raided&#8221; the university were &#8220;totally false.&#8221;
Live images showed police taking control of Cheong Wan Road, the main entrance to the school, but moving back as protesters threw petrol bombs and shot arrows at them from above.
Junctions near the university were blocked by barricades made with trash bags, traffic cones, bricks and other items.
Earlier Sunday, a police officer was shot with an arrow during a siege of the fortified campus and<a href="https://cnn.com/2019/11/15/asia/hong-kong-protests-explainer-intl-hnk-scli/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> police fired water cannons</a> and tear gas at protesters in the streets surrounding the university.
In a new escalation after <a href="https://cnn.com/specials/asia/hong-kong-protests-intl-hnk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nearly six months </a>of demonstrations <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2019/11/15/asia/hong-kong-protest-university-fortress-intl-hnk/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in the fiercely divided city</a>, police warned via <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HongKongPoliceForce/videos/1568638939944471/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook </a>that if protesters continued to use petrol bombs and bows and arrows, they would respond by using minimum force and, given no other choice, live rounds.
<h3>University &#8216;widely damaged&#8217;</h3>
Hundreds of protesters with bricks, petrol bombs and makeshift barricades have held off riot police on roads surrounding the campus in the city&#8217;s Hung Hom district, just across Victoria Harbor from <a href="https://cnn.com/specials/asia/hong-kong-protests-intl-hnk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hong Kong</a> Island, since early Sunday.
Hong Kong&#8217;s Polytechnic University is just one of a <a href="https://cnn.com/2019/11/12/asia/hong-kong-protests-chinese-university-intl-hnk/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">number of university campuses </a>being used in the past week as a rallying point for Hong Kong&#8217;s protest movement.
But unlike other campuses, such as the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Polytechnic University sits in the center of the city, close to a number of major roads including a cross harbor tunnel.
Earlier, the management of Hong Kong Polytechnic University issued a statement saying &#8220;dangerous chemicals&#8221; had been stolen from laboratories and condemned the protesters&#8217; &#8220;illegal acts and violence&#8221; in the campus which has, they say, &#8220;been widely damaged.&#8221;
&#8220;We understand that students care about the current social situation, however, they must be calm and rational when fighting for anything,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;Resorting to violence or other radical acts will not help solve the problem.&#8221;
As violence has escalated in recent days, protesters have begun using bows and arrows against the police, and authorities said a media liaison officer was hit in the leg with an arrow during a skirmish Sunday afternoon.
In a fiercely worded statement, the police labeled the group holding the university &#8220;rioters,&#8221; a loaded term in Hong Kong&#8217;s protests that could result in a heavy prison sentence.
Polytechnic University is also less than 164 feet (50 meters) from a Chinese People&#8217;s Liberation Army (PLA) base. So far there has been no sign that the country&#8217;s military will be used to crack down on protesters.
In a statement Sunday evening, the Hong Kong Professional Teachers&#8217; Union and the university&#8217;s Staff Association said they were &#8220;very worried&#8221; about the safety of students and bystanders.
&#8220;We call on both sides to exercise restraint and avoid the use of deadly weapons. The current stalemate is caused by a series of government decision-making mistakes and should be resolved responsibly,&#8221; the statement said.
<h3>Six months of chaos</h3>
The protests in Hong Kong have now been raging <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2019/11/15/asia/hong-kong-protests-explainer-intl-hnk-scli/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">for almost six months</a> after they began in June over a controversial China extradition bill, which sparked huge marches across the city.
When the government suspended but didn&#8217;t withdraw the bill, the movement&#8217;s focus quickly expanded to focus on complaints of police brutality and wider calls for democracy.
The protests <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2019/11/15/economy/hong-kong-economy-recession-protests/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">took a turn in early November</a> after the protest-related death of a 22-year-old student, the first since the demonstrations began. Protesters began to fortify university campuses across the city, holding off police with weapons ranging from bows and arrows and petrol bombs.
Saturday night, police attempted to clear the roads around Polytechnic University but were forced to back down after protesters started fires on the street and threw petrol bombs.
&#8220;They showed total disregard for the safety of everyone at scene,&#8221; police said in a statement Sunday, confirming they tried to disperse the group using tear gas.
A 23-year-old protester and Polytechnic University alumnus told CNN on Sunday he didn&#8217;t have a plan and was just waiting to see how the police would react. &#8220;If we don&#8217;t come out, no one will come out and protect our freedoms. Polytechnic University is my home,&#8221; he said.
Protesters on Sunday were using catapults to launch bricks and other hard objects at police lines from the university&#8217;s balconies. Their hold on the high ground made it difficult for police vehicles to advance under a hail of bricks and petrol bombs.
&#8220;Such attacks pose a grave threat to the safety of police officers, reporters and first aiders at the scene,&#8221; said police in a statement, accusing protesters of firing petrol bombs and metal balls at their lines.
The government announced on Sunday all schools would be shut again Monday as protests were expected to continue across the city.
<h3>Protests escalate</h3>
With the both the government and the protesters refusing to back down, there is no immediate end in sight to the Hong Kong demonstrations.
Showing his dissatisfaction with the situation, Chinese President Xi Jinping made <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2019/11/14/asia/hong-kong-protest-elderly-man-dies-intl-hnk/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rare public comments</a> on the demonstrations Thursday.
He said that &#8220;radical&#8221; protesters had trampled the city&#8217;s rule of law and that &#8220;stopping the violence and restoring order&#8221; was Hong Kong&#8217;s most &#8220;urgent task.&#8221;
It came just hours before a 70-year-old man, who was struck by a brick during clashes between protesters and their opponents, died of his injuries. Police blamed protesters for throwing the object that killed him.
For the first time since the start of the demonstrations in June, China&#8217;s People&#8217;s Liberation Army hit the streets of Hong Kong on Saturday, but only to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/16/asia/hong-kong-chinese-military-clean-up-scli-intl/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">clear up barricades and debris.</a>
Even that incursion was enough to spur pro-democracy lawmakers in Hong Kong to push for an explanation from the city&#8217;s government.
Chinese soldiers&#8217; efforts to clear roadblocks outside their barracks in Kowloon Tong was &#8220;purely a voluntary community activity initiated by themselves,&#8221; the Hong Kong special administrative region government said in a statement to CNN.

Protesters set fire to the entrance of Hong Kong&#8217;s Polytechnic University early Monday to stop riot police from entering the campus, as a siege of the heavily fortified university entered its second day.

Hong Kong Protestors Set Fire to University Entrance to Keep Riot Police Out

Family members say a 9-year-old San Diego boy who survived an apparent murder-suicide that left his parents and three brothers dead is on life support.
Police say the child’s father is suspected of shooting his sons and their mother before turning the gun on himself Saturday.
Investigators say the parents were estranged and the mother had obtained a restraining order against the father.
The <a href="https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/public-safety/story/2019-11-16/san-diego-police-investigating-paradise-hills-shooting">Union-Tribune</a> reports Sunday that family members set up a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/tragic-murders-leave-one-fighting-for-his-life?utm_source=customer&amp;utm_medium=copy_link&amp;utm_campaign=p_cp%20share-sheet&amp;fbclid=IwAR0KdI5UXTfaruLZTw4bexV6ZqJO6wKkyAhDqqxKp0vBUEeDkb0uvl2JqfE">GoFundMe</a> page to raise money for medical expenses. The posting says the boy remains in intensive care.
Officers found a 29-year-old woman, her 31-year-old husband and their 3-year-old son dead. Two boys, ages 5 and 11, died at hospitals.
The newspaper says police had gone to the house two weeks ago to “keep the peace” when the man came over to retrieve tools.

Boy on Life Support After San Diego Murder-Suicide Leaves Parents and Siblings Dead

Michael Bloomberg on Sunday apologized for his longstanding support of the controversial “stop-and-frisk” police strategy ahead of a potential Democratic presidential run, a practice that he embraced as New York’s mayor and continued to defend despite its disproportionate impact on people of color.
Addressing a black church in Brooklyn, Bloomberg said he was “sorry” and acknowledged it often led to the detention of blacks and Latinos.
“I can’t change history,” Bloomberg told the congregation. “However today, I want you to know that I realize back then I was wrong.”
Bloomberg’s reversal is notable for someone who is often reluctant to admit wrongdoing. It’s also a recognition that if he’s to compete for the Democratic presidential nomination, he’ll have to win support from black voters. And his record on stop-and-frisk is a glaring vulnerability that could hobble his potential candidacy if he doesn’t express contrition.
The apology, however, was received skeptically by many prominent activists who noted that it was made as he is taking steps to enter the race.
“It is convenient that Bloomberg suddenly apologizes but has done nothing to undo the immense damage he has caused on countless lives,” said activist DeRay Mckesson. “His apology is not accepted.”
Stop-and-frisk gave police wide authority to detain people they suspected of committing a crime, and Bloomberg aggressively pursued the tactic when he first took over as mayor in 2002. Under the program, New York City police officers made it a routine practice to stop and search multitudes of mostly black and Hispanic men to see if they were carrying weapons.
Police claimed that people were only targeted if officers had a reasonable suspicion that they were breaking the law. But while the searches did lead to weapons being confiscated, the overwhelming majority of people who were detained and frisked were let go because they hadn’t done anything wrong.
Many men found the encounters humiliating and degrading, and statistics showed that minorities were far more likely to be subjected to such a search.
“Under Bloomberg, NYPD increased stop and frisk from 100,000 stops to nearly 700,000 stops per year. 90% of those impacted were people of color — overwhelmingly black and brown men,” black activist and data scientist Samuel Sinyangwe tweeted on Sunday. “Bloomberg personally has the money to begin paying reparations for this harm. ‘Sorry’ isn’t enough.”
Bloomberg is not the first Democrat aiming to unseat President Donald Trump next year who has sought to atone for past positions on matters that deeply impacted people of color.
Before he entered the race, former Vice President Joe Biden apologized for his role in the passage of a crime bill that imposed stiffer sentences on those convicted of crack cocaine possession — a law that has disproportionately affected the black community. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, too, said he was “not happy” that he voted for the “terrible” 1994 legislation. And Pete Buttigieg apologized for his handling of race as mayor of South Bend, Indiana, a city with a history of segregation where decades of simmering tension erupted this summer when a white police officer shot and killed a black man.
Rev. Al Sharpton applauded Bloomberg for reversing his stance, though he added that he would have to “wait and see whether it was politically motivated.”
“As one who helped lead countless demonstrations, marches and rallies to amplify the racial impact that was had on the Black and Brown community from stop-and-frisk policing, I am glad to see Mr. Bloomberg now admit that the policy was wrong,” Sharpton said. “It will take more than one speech for people to forgive and forget a policy that so negatively impacted entire communities.”
On Sunday, Bloomberg sought to contextualize his embrace of stop-and-frisk. Though crime had fallen sharply when he took office, he said there were still 650 murders in the city in 2001. Most were young black and Hispanic men. Meanwhile, relations between police and communities of color were at a nadir.
“I was not going to accept that — and I didn’t,” Bloomberg said. “I was determined to improve police-community relations while at the same time reducing crime even further.”
But the practice had unforeseen consequences, he acknowledged.
“The fact is, far too many innocent people were being stopped while we tried to do that. The overwhelming majority of them were black and Latino,” he said. “That may have included, I’m sorry to say, some of you here today. Perhaps yourself or your children, or your grandchildren, or your neighbors, or your relatives.”
Yet as recent as this year, he defended his handling of it.
“The murder rate in New York City went from 650 a year to 300 a year when I left,&#8221; he said in January. He said most police departments do the same thing, “they just don&#8217;t report it or use the terminology.”
Ultimately, a federal judge found in 2013 that stop-and-frisk intentionally and systematically violated the civil rights of tens of thousands of people by wrongly targeting black and Hispanic men. Bloomberg blasted the ruling at the time, calling it a “dangerous decision made by a judge who I think does not understand how policing works and what is compliant with the U.S. Constitution.”
Bloomberg’s successor, Mayor Bill de Blasio made ending the practice a centerpiece of his first run for office. In a campaign-defining ad, his son Dante, who is biracial, made the case that de Blasio “would end the stop-and-frisk era that unfairly targets people of color.”
Bloomberg told the congregation Sunday that stop-and-frisk eroded trust in the police department and left a blight on his legacy.
“The erosion of trust bothered me — deeply. And it still bothers me,” he said. “And I want to earn it back.”

Two teenage brothers were killed in a traffic collision in Winnetka early Sunday morning, the Los Angeles Police Department Valley Traffic Division said.
Firefighters arrived to find an overturned vehicle that had crashed into two parked cars on the 20600 block of Parthenia Street just before 1 a.m., authorities said. The vehicle was on its roof and completely crushed, footage from the scene shows.
The two brothers were passengers in the vehicle and were pronounced dead at the scene, said Sgt. Kurt Smith with the LAPD Valley Traffic Division. The driver, who was under the influence, was extricated from the same vehicle and taken to the hospital for complaints of injuries, Smith said.
The driver, Pablo Roman Trujillo, 20, was released from the hospital the same day and was then arrested on murder charges, according to Smith.
The passengers were identified as Luis E. Perez, 16, and Cesar A. Perez, 19, according to the county coroner's office.
No one was inside either of the parked cars involved, authorities said.

2 Teenage Brothers Killed in Winnetka Rollover Crash, Driver Arrested on Murder Charges

An 18-year-old was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated when his vehicle <a href="https://ktla.com/2019/07/25/18-year-old-killed-2-others-in-critical-condition-after-car-crashes-into-light-pole-near-highland-park/">crashed into a light pole</a> and killed another teenager near the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, police said Sunday.
Jeremy Espinosa of Los Angeles was arrested and booked on a murder charge in the death of 18-year-old Eddie Sanchez, according to the Los Angeles Police Department&#8217;s Central Traffic Collision.
LAPD said Espinosa was under the influence of both drugs and alcohol and was driving recklessly when the vehicle slammed into the light pole in the 3800 block of North Figueroa Street on July 25, 2019.
The collision trapped three people inside the car and firefighters had to extricate them before taking two victims to a hospital in critical condition, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Sanchez was pronounced dead at the scene.
Espinosa was taken into custody on Saturday and was being held on $2 million bail, according to county inmate records.
No further details were available on Espinosa&#8217;s arrest.

Community members gathered Sunday at a vigil to honor the two students who died and support those who lived through a shooting at the hands of a classmate at Saugus High School as investigators try to determine what prompted the deadly attack that left three other teens wounded. Saugus High School will remain closed until Dec. 2, but counselors will be available to help students cope with their grief, said school district officials in the Los Angeles suburb of Santa [&#8230;]

Watch Live: Vigil Held for Victims of Saugus High School Shooting Sunday as Investigation Continues

Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi invited President Donald Trump to testify in front of investigators in the House impeachment inquiry ahead of a week that will see several key witnesses appear publicly.
Pushing back against accusations from the president that the process has been stacked against him, Pelosi said Trump is welcome to appear or answer questions in writing, if he chooses.
“If he has information that is exculpatory, that means ex, taking away, culpable, blame, then we look forward to seeing it,” she said in an interview that aired Sunday on CBS’s &#8220;Face the Nation.” Trump “could come right before the committee and talk, speak all the truth that he wants if he wants,” she said.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer echoed that suggestion.
“If Donald Trump doesn’t agree with what he’s hearing, doesn’t like what he’s hearing, he shouldn’t tweet. He should come to the committee and testify under oath. And he should allow all those around him to come to the committee and testify under oath,” Schumer told reporters. He said the White House’s insistence on blocking witnesses from cooperating begs the question: “What is he hiding?”
The comments come as the House Intelligence Committee prepares for a second week of public hearings as part of its inquiry, including with the man who is arguably the most important witness. Gordon Sondland, Trump’s ambassador to the European Union, is among the only people interviewed to date who had direct conversations with the president about the situation because the White House has blocked others from cooperating with what they dismiss as a sham investigation. And testimony suggests he was intimately involved in discussions that are at the heart of the investigation into whether Trump held up U.S. military aid to Ukraine to try to pressure the county’s president to announce an investigation into Democrats, including former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading 2020 candidate, and his son, Hunter.
Multiple witnesses overheard a phone call in which Trump and Sondland reportedly discussed efforts to push for the investigations. In private testimony to impeachment investigators made public Saturday, Tim Morrison, a former National Security Council aide and longtime Republican defense hawk, said Sondland told him he was discussing Ukraine matters directly with Trump.
Morrison said Sondland and Trump had spoken approximately five times between July 15 and Sept. 11 — the weeks that $391 million in U.S. assistance was withheld from Ukraine before it was released.
And he recounted that Sondland told a top Ukrainian official in a meeting that the vital U.S. military assistance might be freed up if the country’s top prosecutor “would go to the mike and announce that he was opening the Burisma investigation.” Burisma is the gas company that hired Hunter Biden.
Morrison’s testimony contradicted much of what Sondland told congressional investigators during his own closed-door deposition, which the ambassador later amended.
Trump has said he has no recollection of the overheard call and has suggested he barely knew Sondland, a wealthy donor to his 2016 campaign. But Democrats are hoping he sheds new light on the discussions.
“I’m not going to try to prejudge his testimony,” Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., said on “Fox News Sunday.” But he suggested, “it was not lost on Ambassador Sondland what happened to the president’s close associate Roger Stone for lying to Congress, to Michael Cohen for lying to Congress. My guess is that Ambassador Sondland is going to do his level best to tell the truth, because otherwise he may have a very unpleasant legal future in front of him.”
The committee will also be interviewing a long list of others. On Tuesday, they’ll hear from Morrison along with Jennifer Williams, an aide to Vice President Mike Pence, Alexander Vindman, the director for European affairs at the National Security Council, and Kurt Volker, the former U.S. special envoy to Ukraine.
On Wednesday the committee will hear from Sondland in addition to Laura Cooper, a deputy assistant secretary of defense, and David Hale, a State Department official. And on Thursday, Fiona Hill, a former top NSC staffer for Europe and Russia, will appear.
Trump, meanwhile, continued to tweet and retweet a steady stream of commentary from supporters as he bashed “The Crazed, Do Nothing Democrats” for “turning Impeachment into a routine partisan weapon.”
“That is very bad for our Country, and not what the Founders had in mind!!!!” he wrote.
He also tweeted a doctored video exchange between Rep. Adam Schiff, the Democratic chairman of the Intelligence Committee, and Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, in which Schiff said he did not know the identity of the whistleblower whose complaint triggered the inquiry. The clip has been altered to show Schiff wearing a referee’s uniform and loudly blowing a whistle.
In her CBS interview, Pelosi vowed to protect the whistleblower, whom Trump has said should be forced to come forward despite longstanding whistleblower protections.
“I will make sure he does not intimidate the whistleblower,” Pelosi said.
Trump has been under fire for his treatment of one of the witnesses, the former ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, whom Trump criticized by tweet as she was testifying last week.
That attack prompted accusations of witness intimidation from Democrats and even some criticism from Republicans, who have been largely united in their defense of Trump
“I think, along with most people, I find the president’s tweet generally unfortunate,” said Ohio Republican Rep. Mike Turner on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Still, he insisted that tweets were “certainly not impeachable and it’s certainly not criminal. And it’s certainly not witness intimidation,” even if Yovanovitch said she felt intimidated by the attacks.
Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, said Trump “communicates in ways that sometimes I wouldn’t,” but dismissed the significance of the attacks.
“If your basis for impeachment is going to include a tweet, that shows how weak the evidence for that impeachment is,” he said on ABC’s “This Week.”
And the backlash didn’t stop Trump from lashing out at yet another witness, this time Pence aide Williams. He directed her in a Sunday tweet to “meet with the other Never Trumpers, who I don’t know &amp; mostly never even heard of, &amp; work out a better presidential attack!”

Democrats Invite President Trump to Testify in Impeachment Inquiry

A &#8220;Win a Baby&#8221; contest hosted by a Florida radio station helped turn one couple into parents.
The contest, which was hosted by Florida&#8217;s B1039 in November 2017, offered one woman the chance to receive a free round of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and all the medication needed. The sweepstakes called for videos from women explaining why they&#8217;d be a great mom, the radio station said in a blog post <a href="https://b1039.com/galleries/b1039-win-a-baby-contest-winners-have-a-boy/?fbclid=IwAR0ZaG03nhcjm7gQyb5EY6sk_G0iNRxPfax8holMl2xSZUjDpqHB-5-9gPc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saturday</a>.
The winners of the contest in 2017 were Krista and Anthony Rivera of Cape Coral. The couple welcomed their son, Garrett Campbell Rivera, into the world <a href="https://b1039.com/2019/08/29/big-mama-and-the-wild-bunch-the-win-a-baby-contest-child-is-born/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in August 2019.</a>
&#8220;We certainly don&#8217;t know how to do anything the easy way, but we are still blessed beyond measure,&#8221; Krista Rivera told B1039 in August.
Infertility is an issue affecting millions of people. In 2017, the American Medical Association declared infertility a disease. In the summary of the decision, the association expressed hope that the new designation would &#8220;promote insurance coverage and payment&#8221; and remove some of the stigma.
IVF costs, on average, roughly $20,000 a cycle and is not, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/25/health/ivf-insurance-parenting-strauss/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in most cases, covered by insurance</a>. For the majority of the infertile population, this means they either have to take on considerable debt or avoid receiving treatment and likely the chance to have children.
Approximately 8 million babies have been born as a result of IVF around the world, according to Dr. Richard J. Paulson, immediate past president of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
&#8220;When we thought we couldn&#8217;t have a baby it was just crushing,&#8221; Krista Rivera told CNN affiliate <a href="https://www.fox4now.com/news/local-news/win-a-baby-contest-winners-have-a-boy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WFTX</a>. &#8220;Without the contest we definitely would not have been able to have our dream of having a baby.&#8221;

The sweepstakes called for videos from women explaining why they&#8217;d be a great mom, the radio station said in a blog post Saturday. The winners of the contest in 2017 were Krista and Anthony [&#8230;]

Travel Smart: Travelzoo’s Gabe Saglie on How to Survive the Holiday Travel Season

Democrats this week enter a do-or-die phase of their impeachment inquiry following a week of public testimony, as they summon a flurry of witnesses they hope will convince the public that President Trump should be impeached for pressing a foreign government to launch criminal investigations for his political benefit.
The hearings follow a rare weekend in which a key White House official was deposed and the transcripts were released from two additional closed-door depositions of administration officials.
Earlier in the week three veteran diplomats testified in public, soberly describing the ramifications of the president’s pressure campaign — undermining Ukraine, a stalwart U.S. ally at war with Russia, and eroding U.S. stature across the globe, they said.
Constitutional scholars say Democrats have succeeded in laying important groundwork. Now the hard part begins: proving that Trump abused his power and that his actions are serious enough to justify his impeachment.

Impeachment Proceedings Enter Key Phase After a Week of Public Testimony

A Northern California prosecutor used his 13-year-old daughter to lure a man back to the spot where she said he had molested her, so the man’s incriminating actions could be recorded on video, according to a newspaper report Sunday.
The suspect has been arrested but the Santa Clara County prosecutor is under scrutiny for possibly endangering his child, the <a href="https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/11/17/a-san-jose-prosecutor-wanted-to-catch-a-molester-he-used-his-daughter-as-bait/">Mercury News</a> reported, citing police reports and sources familiar with the case.
Ali Mohammad Lajmiri, 76, of San Jose is charged with lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 and false imprisonment. It’s not known if he has an attorney.
The molestation was the subject of an active police investigation at the time that the prosecutor brought his daughter back to the scene, the Los Alamitos Trail in Almaden Valley. After recording video of the man interacting with his daughter, the prosecutor gave the recording to the police. Lajmiri was arrested the next day.
The prosecutor told police that he and the girl had arranged for her to walk back and forth on the trail, while the two of them stayed in touch with cellphones and earbuds.
“He stated that they had already done this several times,” San Jose Detective Sgt. Sean Pierce wrote in the police report on the case. “He directed (the victim) to let (the suspect) touch her if she encountered him, but if it was the breast or between the legs to move away. He instructed (the victim) to let (the suspect) identify and make the contact and if she cannot handle things she should move away. He instructed (the victim) to walk back and forth on the designated route and don’t interact with anyone for very long.”
The idea that a prosecutor would interfere in an active police investigation and have his daughter essentially serve as bait for a suspected predator was met with dismay by members of the local law enforcement community, including some of the prosecutor’s colleagues and police officers who have worked with him.
Multiple sources confirmed the prosecutor’s identity to the newspaper. The Mercury News did not name him to protect the identity of the underage sexual assault victim.
The state Attorney General’s office has taken over the prosecution of the molestation case because of the conflicts of interest involved. Such conflicts already existed because of the prosecutor’s relationship to the victim and became more pronounced after his efforts to insert himself into the case and gather evidence against the suspect.
Sources also told the newspaper that state prosecutors are exploring potential child endangerment charges against the prosecutor.
Through the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office, the prosecutor declined to comment. The DA’s office declined to comment specifically on the prosecutor’s actions, but it released a short statement on the case.
The sexual assault investigation began Oct. 8, a day after the victim told her doctor that she had been sexually assaulted. In the ensuing police investigation, she gave accounts of three instances between August and October in which the same man approached her while she was walking her dog on the trail and touched her sexually.
San Jose Police Chief Eddie Garcia declined to comment specifically on the case and the prosecutor’s involvement, but generally advised against citizens taking the law into their own hands.
“As a father, I understand how emotional it can be when your child is the victim of a crime. But we have to remember that the safety of the child comes first,” Garcia said, “and channel that frustration in a positive way to assist the investigation and not hinder it.”
Lajmiri is being held in the Santa Clara County jail on $3 million bail. He is scheduled to return to court Jan. 29.

President <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/16/politics/trump-annual-physical-walter-reed/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump&#8217;s visit to Walter Reed on Saturday</a> did not follow the protocol of a routine presidential medical exam, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Medical staff at Walter Reed did not get a staff-wide notice about a presidential visit to the medical center in Bethesda, Maryland, ahead of Trump&#8217;s arrival, according to that source.
Typically, Walter Reed&#8217;s medical staff would get a general notice about a &#8220;VIP&#8221; visit to the medical center ahead of a presidential visit, notifying them of certain closures at the facility. That did not happen this time, indicating the visit was a non-routine visit and scheduled last minute.
The source said it was possible a small group of doctors involved in Trump&#8217;s medical exams were notified before Trump arrived at Walter Reed, but said all medical staff at Walter Reed would typically be aware if the President was arriving for a routine medical exam.
His two previous physical exams in office were announced ahead of time by the White House and noted on his daily public schedule, but a source with knowledge of the matter told CNN Saturday that the President&#8217;s unannounced trip to the medical center was not even on the President&#8217;s internal schedule as of Saturday morning.
The President&#8217;s motorcade drove to the medical center unannounced, with reporters under direction not to report his movement until they arrived Saturday at Walter Reed. Trump typically takes the Marine One helicopter to Walter Reed, but on Saturday&#8217;s clear-skied day, the President opted for the motorcade.
A separate source familiar with the situation described Trump&#8217;s visit as &#8220;abnormal,&#8221; but added that Trump, 73, appeared to be in good health late Friday.
White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham, in response to a CNN request for comment on Sunday, said: &#8220;We&#8217;re not going to get into security and movement protocols when it comes to the President, but as my statements said he&#8217;s in good health and it was a routine checkup as part of his annual physical. I&#8217;ve given plenty of on the record statements that were truthful and accurate &#8212; actively trying to find and report conspiracy theories really needs to stop.&#8221;
Grisham on Saturday said Trump decided to get parts of his physical done early because he had a &#8220;free weekend&#8221; in Washington, but did not responded to questions about why Trump did not get his full physical exam &#8212; which typically takes 4 hours &#8212; done this weekend. Grisham also denied the President had any health issue.
Trump, Grisham said Saturday, underwent a &#8220;quick exam and labs.&#8221; Several experts familiar with White House medical procedures said that Trump can get routine labwork done at the White House&#8217;s on-site clinic, indicating Trump needed tests that can&#8217;t be done there.
Trump tweeted Sunday morning that he does not plan to finish his physical until next year.
He <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/08/politics/trump-physical-healthy/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">underwent a full physical examination</a> at the Walter Reed military hospital in February, and was deemed to be in &#8220;<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/14/health/trump-physical-results-2019-bn/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">very good health overall</a>.&#8221;
At February&#8217;s physical exam, Trump weighed 243 pounds, four pounds more than last year&#8217;s exam. His blood pressure was measured as 118/80, and results showed he had increased his daily dose of rosuvastatin, a medication used to treat high cholesterol, according to the exam results.
Last year&#8217;s exam revealed that Trump <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/17/health/trump-heart-disease-gupta/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has a common form of heart disease and high cholesterol</a>.
Then-White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson recommended the President get on a diet, start exercising and set a goal of losing a dozen pounds, but sources told CNN in February that Trump had made only minor changes to his diet and exercise regimen since his 2018 exam.
Jackson also revealed that Trump underwent a coronary calcium CT scan as part of his routine physical exam. Trump&#8217;s score was recorded as 133, and Gupta noted at the time that anything over 100 indicates plaque is present and that the patient has heart disease.

President Donald Trump&#8217;s visit to Walter Reed on Saturday did not follow the protocol of a routine presidential medical exam, according to a person familiar with the matter. Medical staff at Walter Reed did not get a staff-wide notice about a presidential visit to the medical center in Bethesda, Maryland, ahead of Trump&#8217;s arrival, according to that source.

Trump’s Visit to Medical Center Did Not Follow Routine Protocol, Source Says

When Los Angeles’ Red Line subway was completed in 2000, its northernmost station appeared desolate above ground.
People arriving in <a class="Link" href="https://www.latimes.com/la-fi-hp-neighborhood-north-hollywood-20160625-snap-story.html">North Hollywood </a>on the underground train rode up a grand escalator past tile murals to find themselves on an expanse of asphalt parking lots, where commuters could rush through free of temptation to linger over so much as a cup of coffee. It looked like what it was — the end of the line.
Thousands of apartments and some plush office buildings have been added nearby in intervening years, but the prime real estate around the portal is still mostly bare, waiting on a long-imagined development where people might live, work, shop for groceries and have drinks or dinner.
That vision is finally taking shape, with developers and transit officials set to apply Monday for city permission to build a $1-billion mixed-use complex that would surround the subway entrance and adjacent hub for connecting bus routes, including the well-traveled Orange Line to Warner Center and Chatsworth.

Plans for $1 Billion Complex at North Hollywood Metro Red Line Station Take Shape

Authorities are investigating threats made on social media against schools in Santa Clarita, following a shooting that took place at a local high school where two students were killed, the Los Angeles Sheriff&#8217;s Department said Sunday.
After conducting investigations and threat assessments, sheriff&#8217;s officials said they determined that there were no credible threats.
The social media threats come after a 16-year-old student at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita shot five classmates – fatally wounding two of them – before turning the gun on himself Thursday. The shooter also died after being treated for a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, authorities said. A motive for the shooting remains unclear, according to officials.
Authorities conducted investigations to track down the origin of the threats and conducted interviews and location searches.
There was one vague online post that implied a threat for Monday, Nov. 18, officials said. However, it was found not to be credible.
Although no credible threats were found, additional law enforcement officials will be present at all local schools in the Santa Clarita Valley, deputies said.
&#8220;We at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department stand ready to help the heal with our communities and we look forward to helping Santa Clarita Valley students with returning to school on Monday,&#8221; the department said in a <a href="https://local.nixle.com/alert/7652257/?sub_id=11982702">release</a>.
Officials did not say how many threats were identified or where they came from.

Man Found Dead Inside Burning Rancho Cucamonga Home

A month after two men were arrested at an illicit marijuana farm on public land deep in the Northern California wilderness, authorities are assessing the environmental impact and cleanup costs at the site where trees were clear-cut, waterways were diverted, and the ground was littered with open containers of fertilizer and rodenticide.
A group including U.S. Forest Service rangers, local law enforcement, scientists and conservationists hiked into the so-called trespass grow where nearly 9,000 cannabis plants were illegally cultivated on national forest land in the region known as the Emerald Triangle, for the marijuana that has been produced there for decades.
Authorities allege members of an international drug trafficking ring set up camp at the site as far back as 2015.
When deputies raided the remote clearing in the woods Sept. 9, they found hundreds of pounds of harvested marijuana, thousands of pounds of trash and more than 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) of plastic irrigation piping, according to the Trinity County Sheriff’s Office. They also discovered bottles of carbofuran, a banned neurotoxicant used to kill rodents that also has been linked to the deaths of spotted owls, fish and mountain lions. A quarter-teaspoon can kill a 300-pound (136-kilogram) bear.
The case highlights some of the growing pains California has faced since kicking off <a href="https://apnews.com/Marijuana">broad legal sales</a> in 2018. Its legal marijuana market has grown to more than $3 billion but remains dwarfed by a thriving illegal market, which rakes in nearly $9 billion annually. Limited resources mean officials can’t keep up with all the illegal sites that are remnants of the outlaw era, when much of the pot for the U.S. black market came from the Emerald Triangle.
Experts say illegal sites like the one found in the Shasta Trinity National Forest, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) from the Oregon line, siphon valuable water, pollute legal downstream grows and funnel potentially tainted cannabis onto the streets.
“These places are toxic garbage dumps. Food containers attract wildlife, and the chemicals kill the animals long after the sites are abandoned,” said Rich McIntyre, director of the Cannabis Removal on Public Lands (CROP) Project, which is dedicated to restoring criminal grow sites on state and federal property in California. “We think there’s a public health time bomb ticking.”
CROP is a coalition of conservation organizations, tribes, elected officials, law enforcement agencies and federal land managers. Also lending its support is the legal cannabis industry, which says it’s being undercut by the criminal market. Officials estimate that up to 70% of California’s illicit pot comes from trespass grows mostly on public land.
“We see illegal grows as undermining the legal cultivators and manufacturers” by reducing tax revenue, said Lindsay Robinson, executive director of the California Cannabis Industry Association, a trade group. “We’re seeing untested and unregulated cannabis flooding the market.”
Black market marijuana is potentially dangerous because traces of the toxic chemicals used at grow sites are often found in the plants, she said.
“If you have an illicit grow upstream from you, and you’re legal, that could end up tainting your product and prevent it from entering the market,” Robinson said.
CROP estimates that 9 billion gallons (34 billion liters) of water are diverted to trespass grows in California each year — a yearly supply for a city of 35,000 homes.
“In a state like California where water battles and drought are a way of life, that number is shocking,” McIntyre said. More than 60% of California’s water comes from national forest land.
Authorities in 2018 made dozens of arrests at trespass grows while seizing hundreds of thousands of pot plants along with cash and guns. Criminal growers often use powerful firearms to protect their operation, McIntyre said.
“There are stories of people — hunters, fishermen, hikers — who find themselves down the barrel of an AK-47” after stumbling on illegal grow sites, he said.
The toxic chemicals were cleared from the Shasta site Oct. 16, and a “decommissioning” cleanup — removing everything brought in by growers — should happen within a year. The goal is to restore illegal grows to pristine condition complete with reseeding and replanting, but that plan lacks funding.
CROP is lobbying for federal and state money to clean and reclaim an estimated 2,000 sites, a process it says could take seven to 10 years.
It’s also pushing to increase the number of U.S. Forest Service rangers in California’s national forests. Reclaiming each site costs an average of $40,000, requiring trained crews, law enforcement resources and often National Guard air support to remove tons of materials from remote areas, the group said.
The group has a supporter in Democratic U.S. Congressman Jared Huffman, whose Northern California district includes huge swaths of state and federal property.
“We’ve seen firsthand how illegal grow operations threaten visitors to our public lands, steal water and contaminate streams, and kill wildlife on a landscape scale,” Huffman said in a statement. He’s introduced legislation that would identify the problem of trespass grows, expand land protections and free up funds to address it.
CROP is also pushing lawmakers to increase penalties for anyone who brings toxic chemicals to public lands. U.S. Attorney McGregor Scott said last year that federal authorities are concentrating their efforts on hazardous illegal grows.
Nine of every 10 illegal marijuana farms raided in California in 2018 contained traces of carbofuran, researchers at the Integral Ecology Research Center in northwestern California said last year.
That was a jump from chemicals found at about 75% of illegal growing operations discovered on public land in 2017, and it was six times as high as in 2012.

California’s Illegal Marijuana Farms on Public Lands Creating Environmental Hazard

<div class="sticky-panel p402_hide"></div>
Red Flag warnings were in effect Sunday as Santa Ana winds returned to Southern California, bringing dangerous fire weather conditions.
With dry winds gusting at up to 50 miles per hour, any fires that ignite in Ventura County and Los Angeles County mountain and valley areas could spread rapidly, the National Weather Service said.
The warning remains in effect until 6 p.m. Sunday as forecasters expect temperatures of up to 95 degrees in some areas.
Parts of the Santa Clarita Valley and Ventura County are under the most critical fire weather risk as record high temperatures sweep through the region and humidities below 10% are expected, according to NWS.
When Santa Ana winds hit earlier this month and last month, numerous wildfires ignited across the state. Together, the blazes cut through thousands of acres, sending hundreds of firefighters into fierce battles as plumes of smoke billowed over communities and residents had to evacuate their homes.
A small <a href="https://ktla.com/2019/11/16/brush-fire-ignites-in-topanga/">brush fire</a> broke out in Topanga Saturday afternoon and burned four acres. Firefighters had it 100% contained five hours after it ignited along the 1200 block of North Topanga Canyon Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
Capt. Gabriel Huerta said the L.A. County Fire Department deployed two additional strike teams to Santa Clarita and Malibu after the warning was issued.
Residents were reminded to check the brush surrounding their property, extinguish all outdoor fires properly and never throw cigarettes or matches out of a moving vehicle or leave a fire unattended.
Huerta described Sunday's weather conditions as "the calm before the storm" and asked residents to be ready in case they have to evacuate.

A driver and a motorcyclist died in a six-vehicle wreck on the 10 Freeway in West Covina early Sunday, authorities said.
The deadly pileup took place at about 5:20 a.m. in the westbound lanes of the freeway, just west of Valley Boulevard, according to Officer J. Cuevas of the California Highway Parol's East Los Angeles-area office.
A 52-year-old West Covina man driving a 2003 Acura was killed in the collision, along with a 25-year-old West Covina man who was riding a 2013 Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
The Acura collided with the center divider and ended up sitting sideways across the carpool and fast lanes, Cuevas said in a written statement.
An approaching 2019 Ford Transit then struck the Acura, he said. "As a result of the collision, (the driver) was ejected from (the Acura) and came to a rest in the roadway."
The Harley-Davidson motorcycle subsequently struck the Ford Transit, which had come to a stop in the fast lane, according to the CHP. The rider was thrown from the motorcycle.
A westbound 2007 Mercedes-Benz E350, followed by a 2002 Chevrolet S-10 and a 2017 Honda Civic then struck the Acura, Cuevas said.
Paramedics pronounced the driver of the Acura and the motorcyclist dead at the scene. Their identities were not release pending notification of family.
The driver of the Ford Transit was taken to a hospital with injuries described as minor, CHP officials said. No additional injuries were reported.
No arrests were made, and the cause of the chain-reaction collision remained under investigation.
Freeway lanes remained closed due to the crash through 9 a.m.
