Pakistan's PM Praises Trump For Efforts To Defuse Tensions With India

Pakistan's Prime Minister has lauded U.S. President Donald Trump for helping defuse tensions with New Delhi after last month's military escalation between the nuclear armed neighbors. He was speaking while addressing U.S. independence day celebrations at the American embassy in Islamabad. This comes, even as New Delhi has repeatedly denied that the U.S. played any role.

Authorities Say 'Devil In The Ozarks' Has Likely Fled Arkansas After Prison Break

Investigators believe that a convicted murderer and former police chief known as the “Devil in the Ozark s" has likely fled Arkansas after escaping from prison last month, a federal court filing released this week shows. A criminal complaint filed in federal court in Little Rock against Grant Hardin, who escaped prison last month, was released this week. Authorities have said Hardin escaped the Calico Rock prison in Arkansas by donning an outfit designed to look like a law enforcement uniform. In the complaint, Deputy U.S. Marshal Robert J. Hammons cites two previously publicized unconfirmed sightings of Hardin — one in central Arkansas and another in southern Missouri. “Based on this information, investigators believe Hardin has fled the state of Arkansas to avoid recapture,” the filing said. “He has extensive knowledge of the Ozark Mountain region, where he is believed to be possibly hiding in caves or rugged terrain that he is familiar with.” The complaint, first reported by The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, does not detail any other sightings of Hardin or evidence of him fleeing the state. Arkansas authorities have previously said they're focusing on north-central Arkansas and tips of sightings elsewhere so far have not panned out. Hardin, a former police chief in the small town of Gateway near the Arkansas-Missouri border, was serving lengthy sentences for murder and rape. He was the subject of the TV documentary “Devil in the Ozarks.” Hardin was housed in a maximum-security wing of the primarily medium security prison, formally known as the North Central Unit. Officials are investigating whether a job Hardin held in the kitchen helped in his escape, including whether it gave him access to materials he could have used to fashion his makeshift uniform. The Arkansas Department of Corrections this week released a new photo rendering of Hardin, depicting what he may look like now.

Trump Announces Travel Ban And Restrictions On 19 Countries Set To Go Into Effect Monday

President Donald Trump is again banning people from countries his administration deems dangerous from coming to America. The travel ban issued Wednesday is a repeat of an order of his first administration that led to widespread confusion at airports. This version includes Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. The Republican president’s first travel ban was issued in 2017 and banned travel to the U.S. by citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries. The order was retooled until a version was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2018.
