\"WhitePhoto by Brett Carlsen/Getty ImagesThe hate speech and racist harassment at Syracuse University once again boiled over last night. While student protesters participated in the sixth day of a sit-in demanding increased campus safety, others sitting in the library allegedly found that a white-supremacist manifesto had been AirDropped to their cellphones.The university\u2019s Department of Public Safety announced in a campus-wide email early Tuesday morning that it was investigating reports that the hate manifesto, which students told The Daily Beast was the same one used by the Christchurch mosque shooter, was sent to student phones at Bird Library at around 1 a.m. It was also posted in an online discussion forum about Greek life just after 10 p.m., The Daily Orange, the student newspaper, reported.The agency is working with the Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, and the FBI to investigate the quickly escalating situation on campus, but the university\u2019s DPS said there was no \u201cspecific\u201d threat to the school Tuesday, The Daily Orange reported.In response, protesters have asked that the administration cancel classes and campus events.\u201cStudents are scared for their own safety,\u201d tweeted Josh Meyers, a Syracuse student journalist, on Tuesday morning. \u201cCampus is looking extra empty this morning.\u201d\u201cStudents are truly terrified here,\u201d he told The Daily Beast.This marks the 11th racist incident reported on campus since Nov. 6, including the Saturday night harassment of a black student by members of a fraternity who allegedly yelled the n-word at her as she waited for a bus. Others have included anti-Semitic and anti-Asian graffiti in the form of a swastika and slurs. The n-word was also reportedly found scribbled in residence halls and a physics building. In another incident, a student loudly yelled a racial slur against black Americans. Separately, a Chinese freshman reported a racial epithet being used against him.University Chancellor Kent Syverud said in a letter to students and staff Sunday that he was \u201cdeeply angered by these events\u201d and hours later announced a $50,000 reward for any evidence that leads to \u201cthe apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible for these heinous acts.\u201d The money came from a \u201cgenerous\u201d donor, he said. Otherwise, anyone with relevant information about the spate of incidents is encouraged to contact the Department of Public Safety directly.Syracuse University Offers $50,000 Reward for Information About Racist Incidents on CampusGov. Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today. As a Mexican and Jewish woman I don\u2019t feel safe going to campus. This is a direct attack. First and foremost I care about the safety of my students.\u201dRead more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

\"WhitePhoto by Brett Carlsen/Getty ImagesThe hate speech and racist harassment at Syracuse University once again boiled over last night. While student protesters participated in the sixth day of a sit-in demanding increased campus safety, others sitting in the library allegedly found that a white-supremacist manifesto had been AirDropped to their cellphones.The university\u2019s Department of Public Safety announced in a campus-wide email early Tuesday morning that it was investigating reports that the hate manifesto, which students told The Daily Beast was the same one used by the Christchurch mosque shooter, was sent to student phones at Bird Library at around 1 a.m. It was also posted in an online discussion forum about Greek life just after 10 p.m., The Daily Orange, the student newspaper, reported.The agency is working with the Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, and the FBI to investigate the quickly escalating situation on campus, but the university\u2019s DPS said there was no \u201cspecific\u201d threat to the school Tuesday, The Daily Orange reported.In response, protesters have asked that the administration cancel classes and campus events.\u201cStudents are scared for their own safety,\u201d tweeted Josh Meyers, a Syracuse student journalist, on Tuesday morning. \u201cCampus is looking extra empty this morning.\u201d\u201cStudents are truly terrified here,\u201d he told The Daily Beast.This marks the 11th racist incident reported on campus since Nov. 6, including the Saturday night harassment of a black student by members of a fraternity who allegedly yelled the n-word at her as she waited for a bus. Others have included anti-Semitic and anti-Asian graffiti in the form of a swastika and slurs. The n-word was also reportedly found scribbled in residence halls and a physics building. In another incident, a student loudly yelled a racial slur against black Americans. Separately, a Chinese freshman reported a racial epithet being used against him.University Chancellor Kent Syverud said in a letter to students and staff Sunday that he was \u201cdeeply angered by these events\u201d and hours later announced a $50,000 reward for any evidence that leads to \u201cthe apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible for these heinous acts.\u201d The money came from a \u201cgenerous\u201d donor, he said. Otherwise, anyone with relevant information about the spate of incidents is encouraged to contact the Department of Public Safety directly.Syracuse University Offers $50,000 Reward for Information About Racist Incidents on CampusGov. Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today. As a Mexican and Jewish woman I don\u2019t feel safe going to campus. This is a direct attack. First and foremost I care about the safety of my students.\u201dRead more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013. As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota. Erickson told the two that he owned land there and would set up a transaction between two of his companies.One of the companies he represented while soliciting investments was Northern Plains Holdings, LLC, according to investors and people familiar with the deal. The North Dakota secretary of state\u2019s office told The Daily Beast it did not have record of such a company connected to Erickson. In a complaint filed in a lawsuit in 2015, one of the investors alleged Erickson planned to use a company he controlled to sell undeveloped North Dakota land it owned to a second company Erickson controlled.In an email in November of 2013 to a potential investor for the Bakken deal, Erickson asked for funding for what he called his \u201cnew real estate development venture\u201d in North Dakota. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the work of our development team as together we find new ways to service the office and housing needs of this new American gold rush,\u201d Erickson wrote. In the email, Erickson called his new business the \u201cBakken oil fields\u201d and said it was set up to capitalize on the boom in North Dakota.\u201cDue to your interest in my work and in consideration of past kindness, I would welcome your investment of any amount you choose (up to $100,000),\u201d the email said. Erickson garnered at least $50,000 from the email exchange and did not pay any of it back, according to the judge\u2019s decision on the 2015 case.\u2014 Pervaiz Shallwani contributed to this story.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis said the seized vessels included a Korean drilling rig and the Saudi tug, the Rabigh 3, which was captured by armed Houthi fighters who attacked from two boats.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She\u2019s been through a grueling trial\u2014charged with aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, and child endangerment\u2014and endured a national media circus. But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle. Every night, she told Cosmo, \u201cI would lie down and wish that I could have died in place of Annabelle.\u201d\u201cI wish I would have done it differently,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m plagued by guilt every day for not telling someone.\u201dOhio Cheerleader Found Not Guilty of Murdering Her Newborn BabyRichardson discovered she was pregnant in April 2017, at a gynecologist appointment her mother had arranged to get her birth control.

To this day, she maintains it was a stillbirth. (\u201cI did not hurt, harm, or kill Annabelle,\u201d she told Cosmo.) Panicked, she ran outside and dug a shallow grave in her backyard. She covered it with pink flower petals.Months after, when Richardson finally told a doctor the outcome of the pregnancy, the doctor reported her to authorities for suspected child abuse. Police assigned to the case questioned her for hours, until she admitted to trying to cremate the remains. Later, her defense team would say this confession was coerced, and the prosecution\u2019s own expert witness would also say there was no evidence of burning.But as news of her story spread, people in Richardson\u2019s town and beyond started calling her a monster.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned. Lieutenant\u00a0General Saad al-Allaq, head of Iraq\u2019s Military Intelligence, claimed in an interview with CNN that Iraq has given Ankara\u00a0dossiers on nine alleged\u00a0leaders of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), including top financiers for the terror group. The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen. Allaq, who rarely gives interviews, said Iraq had intelligence that Isil leaders were planning jailbreaks of its supporters held in prisons and camps across Syria and Iraq. Isil members are led away to be questioned by coalition forces after surrendering, near Baghuz, eastern Syria Credit: Sam Tarling\u00a0 Turkey told the US network they were looking into the allegations. He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration. Turkey then announced arrests it had made of Baghdadi\u2019s relatives, who had apparently been hiding in the country.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said. He added that the two nations\u2019 relationship had \u201csuffered setbacks\u201d but remained enduring.Esper also pledged to continue supporting Philippine military upgrades and counter-terrorism efforts and said it was good to clarify the defense treaty to respond to changing times.(Updates with comments from Esper, China\u2019s Foreign Ministry in grafs 5-7)\--With assistance from Peter Martin.To contact the reporters on this story: Andreo Calonzo in Manila at acalonzo1@bloomberg.net;Glen Carey in Manila at gcarey8@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Cecilia Yap at cyap19@bloomberg.net, Muneeza NaqviFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com\u00a92019 Bloomberg L.P.

\"IndianaThousands of red-clad Indiana teachers swarmed the state capitol building on Tuesday, chanting loudly to protest low salaries and evaluation policies and forcing half the state's school districts to cancel classes for the day. \"Indiana legislators drew first blood against public education,\" read one of the signs hoisted by Indiana State Teachers Association demonstrators wearing red hats and sweaters as they stood at the steps of the capitol. In 2018, teachers in Arizona, West Virginia and Oklahoma staged largely successful days-long strikes to demand higher salaries.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

Her eating disorder\u2014which became a fixture of the dramatic coverage around her case\u2014has persisted, and she has also been diagnosed with mild PTSD and severe depression.\u201cI\u2019m still living with a lot of fear,\u201d Richardson told Cosmo. \u201cThe past two years have been nothing short of a nightmare. After being constantly afraid and paranoid of everyone and everything around me, I\u2019m having a hard time letting that go.\u201dRichardson will still have to serve three years on probation for the one charge on which the jury found her guilty\u2014gross abuse of a corpse. Still, she has signed up for paralegal classes at a community college, and says she plans to seek treatment for her eating disorders. She hopes to eventually work for the Ohio Innocence Project.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal.

As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota.

\"WhitePhoto by Brett Carlsen/Getty ImagesThe hate speech and racist harassment at Syracuse University once again boiled over last night. While student protesters participated in the sixth day of a sit-in demanding increased campus safety, others sitting in the library allegedly found that a white-supremacist manifesto had been AirDropped to their cellphones.The university\u2019s Department of Public Safety announced in a campus-wide email early Tuesday morning that it was investigating reports that the hate manifesto, which students told The Daily Beast was the same one used by the Christchurch mosque shooter, was sent to student phones at Bird Library at around 1 a.m. It was also posted in an online discussion forum about Greek life just after 10 p.m., The Daily Orange, the student newspaper, reported.The agency is working with the Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, and the FBI to investigate the quickly escalating situation on campus, but the university\u2019s DPS said there was no \u201cspecific\u201d threat to the school Tuesday, The Daily Orange reported.In response, protesters have asked that the administration cancel classes and campus events.\u201cStudents are scared for their own safety,\u201d tweeted Josh Meyers, a Syracuse student journalist, on Tuesday morning. \u201cCampus is looking extra empty this morning.\u201d\u201cStudents are truly terrified here,\u201d he told The Daily Beast.This marks the 11th racist incident reported on campus since Nov. 6, including the Saturday night harassment of a black student by members of a fraternity who allegedly yelled the n-word at her as she waited for a bus. Others have included anti-Semitic and anti-Asian graffiti in the form of a swastika and slurs. The n-word was also reportedly found scribbled in residence halls and a physics building. In another incident, a student loudly yelled a racial slur against black Americans. Separately, a Chinese freshman reported a racial epithet being used against him.University Chancellor Kent Syverud said in a letter to students and staff Sunday that he was \u201cdeeply angered by these events\u201d and hours later announced a $50,000 reward for any evidence that leads to \u201cthe apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible for these heinous acts.\u201d The money came from a \u201cgenerous\u201d donor, he said.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today. As a Mexican and Jewish woman I don\u2019t feel safe going to campus. This is a direct attack. First and foremost I care about the safety of my students.\u201dRead more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013. As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota. Erickson told the two that he owned land there and would set up a transaction between two of his companies.One of the companies he represented while soliciting investments was Northern Plains Holdings, LLC, according to investors and people familiar with the deal. The North Dakota secretary of state\u2019s office told The Daily Beast it did not have record of such a company connected to Erickson. In a complaint filed in a lawsuit in 2015, one of the investors alleged Erickson planned to use a company he controlled to sell undeveloped North Dakota land it owned to a second company Erickson controlled.In an email in November of 2013 to a potential investor for the Bakken deal, Erickson asked for funding for what he called his \u201cnew real estate development venture\u201d in North Dakota. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the work of our development team as together we find new ways to service the office and housing needs of this new American gold rush,\u201d Erickson wrote. In the email, Erickson called his new business the \u201cBakken oil fields\u201d and said it was set up to capitalize on the boom in North Dakota.\u201cDue to your interest in my work and in consideration of past kindness, I would welcome your investment of any amount you choose (up to $100,000),\u201d the email said. Erickson garnered at least $50,000 from the email exchange and did not pay any of it back, according to the judge\u2019s decision on the 2015 case.\u2014 Pervaiz Shallwani contributed to this story.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis said the seized vessels included a Korean drilling rig and the Saudi tug, the Rabigh 3, which was captured by armed Houthi fighters who attacked from two boats.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She\u2019s been through a grueling trial\u2014charged with aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, and child endangerment\u2014and endured a national media circus. But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle. Every night, she told Cosmo, \u201cI would lie down and wish that I could have died in place of Annabelle.\u201d\u201cI wish I would have done it differently,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m plagued by guilt every day for not telling someone.\u201dOhio Cheerleader Found Not Guilty of Murdering Her Newborn BabyRichardson discovered she was pregnant in April 2017, at a gynecologist appointment her mother had arranged to get her birth control.

To this day, she maintains it was a stillbirth. (\u201cI did not hurt, harm, or kill Annabelle,\u201d she told Cosmo.) Panicked, she ran outside and dug a shallow grave in her backyard. She covered it with pink flower petals.Months after, when Richardson finally told a doctor the outcome of the pregnancy, the doctor reported her to authorities for suspected child abuse. Police assigned to the case questioned her for hours, until she admitted to trying to cremate the remains. Later, her defense team would say this confession was coerced, and the prosecution\u2019s own expert witness would also say there was no evidence of burning.But as news of her story spread, people in Richardson\u2019s town and beyond started calling her a monster.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned. Lieutenant\u00a0General Saad al-Allaq, head of Iraq\u2019s Military Intelligence, claimed in an interview with CNN that Iraq has given Ankara\u00a0dossiers on nine alleged\u00a0leaders of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), including top financiers for the terror group. The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen. Allaq, who rarely gives interviews, said Iraq had intelligence that Isil leaders were planning jailbreaks of its supporters held in prisons and camps across Syria and Iraq. Isil members are led away to be questioned by coalition forces after surrendering, near Baghuz, eastern Syria Credit: Sam Tarling\u00a0 Turkey told the US network they were looking into the allegations. He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration. Turkey then announced arrests it had made of Baghdadi\u2019s relatives, who had apparently been hiding in the country.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said. He added that the two nations\u2019 relationship had \u201csuffered setbacks\u201d but remained enduring.Esper also pledged to continue supporting Philippine military upgrades and counter-terrorism efforts and said it was good to clarify the defense treaty to respond to changing times.(Updates with comments from Esper, China\u2019s Foreign Ministry in grafs 5-7)\--With assistance from Peter Martin.To contact the reporters on this story: Andreo Calonzo in Manila at acalonzo1@bloomberg.net;Glen Carey in Manila at gcarey8@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Cecilia Yap at cyap19@bloomberg.net, Muneeza NaqviFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com\u00a92019 Bloomberg L.P.

\"IndianaThousands of red-clad Indiana teachers swarmed the state capitol building on Tuesday, chanting loudly to protest low salaries and evaluation policies and forcing half the state's school districts to cancel classes for the day. \"Indiana legislators drew first blood against public education,\" read one of the signs hoisted by Indiana State Teachers Association demonstrators wearing red hats and sweaters as they stood at the steps of the capitol. In 2018, teachers in Arizona, West Virginia and Oklahoma staged largely successful days-long strikes to demand higher salaries.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

Her eating disorder\u2014which became a fixture of the dramatic coverage around her case\u2014has persisted, and she has also been diagnosed with mild PTSD and severe depression.\u201cI\u2019m still living with a lot of fear,\u201d Richardson told Cosmo. \u201cThe past two years have been nothing short of a nightmare. After being constantly afraid and paranoid of everyone and everything around me, I\u2019m having a hard time letting that go.\u201dRichardson will still have to serve three years on probation for the one charge on which the jury found her guilty\u2014gross abuse of a corpse. Still, she has signed up for paralegal classes at a community college, and says she plans to seek treatment for her eating disorders. She hopes to eventually work for the Ohio Innocence Project.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal.

As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota.

\"WhitePhoto by Brett Carlsen/Getty ImagesThe hate speech and racist harassment at Syracuse University once again boiled over last night. While student protesters participated in the sixth day of a sit-in demanding increased campus safety, others sitting in the library allegedly found that a white-supremacist manifesto had been AirDropped to their cellphones.The university\u2019s Department of Public Safety announced in a campus-wide email early Tuesday morning that it was investigating reports that the hate manifesto, which students told The Daily Beast was the same one used by the Christchurch mosque shooter, was sent to student phones at Bird Library at around 1 a.m. It was also posted in an online discussion forum about Greek life just after 10 p.m., The Daily Orange, the student newspaper, reported.The agency is working with the Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, and the FBI to investigate the quickly escalating situation on campus, but the university\u2019s DPS said there was no \u201cspecific\u201d threat to the school Tuesday, The Daily Orange reported.In response, protesters have asked that the administration cancel classes and campus events.\u201cStudents are scared for their own safety,\u201d tweeted Josh Meyers, a Syracuse student journalist, on Tuesday morning. \u201cCampus is looking extra empty this morning.\u201d\u201cStudents are truly terrified here,\u201d he told The Daily Beast.This marks the 11th racist incident reported on campus since Nov. 6, including the Saturday night harassment of a black student by members of a fraternity who allegedly yelled the n-word at her as she waited for a bus. Others have included anti-Semitic and anti-Asian graffiti in the form of a swastika and slurs. The n-word was also reportedly found scribbled in residence halls and a physics building. In another incident, a student loudly yelled a racial slur against black Americans. Separately, a Chinese freshman reported a racial epithet being used against him.University Chancellor Kent Syverud said in a letter to students and staff Sunday that he was \u201cdeeply angered by these events\u201d and hours later announced a $50,000 reward for any evidence that leads to \u201cthe apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible for these heinous acts.\u201d The money came from a \u201cgenerous\u201d donor, he said.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today. As a Mexican and Jewish woman I don\u2019t feel safe going to campus. This is a direct attack. First and foremost I care about the safety of my students.\u201dRead more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013. As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota. Erickson told the two that he owned land there and would set up a transaction between two of his companies.One of the companies he represented while soliciting investments was Northern Plains Holdings, LLC, according to investors and people familiar with the deal. The North Dakota secretary of state\u2019s office told The Daily Beast it did not have record of such a company connected to Erickson. In a complaint filed in a lawsuit in 2015, one of the investors alleged Erickson planned to use a company he controlled to sell undeveloped North Dakota land it owned to a second company Erickson controlled.In an email in November of 2013 to a potential investor for the Bakken deal, Erickson asked for funding for what he called his \u201cnew real estate development venture\u201d in North Dakota. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the work of our development team as together we find new ways to service the office and housing needs of this new American gold rush,\u201d Erickson wrote. In the email, Erickson called his new business the \u201cBakken oil fields\u201d and said it was set up to capitalize on the boom in North Dakota.\u201cDue to your interest in my work and in consideration of past kindness, I would welcome your investment of any amount you choose (up to $100,000),\u201d the email said. Erickson garnered at least $50,000 from the email exchange and did not pay any of it back, according to the judge\u2019s decision on the 2015 case.\u2014 Pervaiz Shallwani contributed to this story.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis said the seized vessels included a Korean drilling rig and the Saudi tug, the Rabigh 3, which was captured by armed Houthi fighters who attacked from two boats.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She\u2019s been through a grueling trial\u2014charged with aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, and child endangerment\u2014and endured a national media circus. But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle. Every night, she told Cosmo, \u201cI would lie down and wish that I could have died in place of Annabelle.\u201d\u201cI wish I would have done it differently,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m plagued by guilt every day for not telling someone.\u201dOhio Cheerleader Found Not Guilty of Murdering Her Newborn BabyRichardson discovered she was pregnant in April 2017, at a gynecologist appointment her mother had arranged to get her birth control.

To this day, she maintains it was a stillbirth. (\u201cI did not hurt, harm, or kill Annabelle,\u201d she told Cosmo.) Panicked, she ran outside and dug a shallow grave in her backyard. She covered it with pink flower petals.Months after, when Richardson finally told a doctor the outcome of the pregnancy, the doctor reported her to authorities for suspected child abuse. Police assigned to the case questioned her for hours, until she admitted to trying to cremate the remains. Later, her defense team would say this confession was coerced, and the prosecution\u2019s own expert witness would also say there was no evidence of burning.But as news of her story spread, people in Richardson\u2019s town and beyond started calling her a monster.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned. Lieutenant\u00a0General Saad al-Allaq, head of Iraq\u2019s Military Intelligence, claimed in an interview with CNN that Iraq has given Ankara\u00a0dossiers on nine alleged\u00a0leaders of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), including top financiers for the terror group. The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen. Allaq, who rarely gives interviews, said Iraq had intelligence that Isil leaders were planning jailbreaks of its supporters held in prisons and camps across Syria and Iraq. Isil members are led away to be questioned by coalition forces after surrendering, near Baghuz, eastern Syria Credit: Sam Tarling\u00a0 Turkey told the US network they were looking into the allegations. He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration. Turkey then announced arrests it had made of Baghdadi\u2019s relatives, who had apparently been hiding in the country.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said. He added that the two nations\u2019 relationship had \u201csuffered setbacks\u201d but remained enduring.Esper also pledged to continue supporting Philippine military upgrades and counter-terrorism efforts and said it was good to clarify the defense treaty to respond to changing times.(Updates with comments from Esper, China\u2019s Foreign Ministry in grafs 5-7)\--With assistance from Peter Martin.To contact the reporters on this story: Andreo Calonzo in Manila at acalonzo1@bloomberg.net;Glen Carey in Manila at gcarey8@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Cecilia Yap at cyap19@bloomberg.net, Muneeza NaqviFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com\u00a92019 Bloomberg L.P.

\"IndianaThousands of red-clad Indiana teachers swarmed the state capitol building on Tuesday, chanting loudly to protest low salaries and evaluation policies and forcing half the state's school districts to cancel classes for the day. \"Indiana legislators drew first blood against public education,\" read one of the signs hoisted by Indiana State Teachers Association demonstrators wearing red hats and sweaters as they stood at the steps of the capitol. In 2018, teachers in Arizona, West Virginia and Oklahoma staged largely successful days-long strikes to demand higher salaries.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

Her eating disorder\u2014which became a fixture of the dramatic coverage around her case\u2014has persisted, and she has also been diagnosed with mild PTSD and severe depression.\u201cI\u2019m still living with a lot of fear,\u201d Richardson told Cosmo. \u201cThe past two years have been nothing short of a nightmare. After being constantly afraid and paranoid of everyone and everything around me, I\u2019m having a hard time letting that go.\u201dRichardson will still have to serve three years on probation for the one charge on which the jury found her guilty\u2014gross abuse of a corpse. Still, she has signed up for paralegal classes at a community college, and says she plans to seek treatment for her eating disorders. She hopes to eventually work for the Ohio Innocence Project.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal.

As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota.

\"WhitePhoto by Brett Carlsen/Getty ImagesThe hate speech and racist harassment at Syracuse University once again boiled over last night. While student protesters participated in the sixth day of a sit-in demanding increased campus safety, others sitting in the library allegedly found that a white-supremacist manifesto had been AirDropped to their cellphones.The university\u2019s Department of Public Safety announced in a campus-wide email early Tuesday morning that it was investigating reports that the hate manifesto, which students told The Daily Beast was the same one used by the Christchurch mosque shooter, was sent to student phones at Bird Library at around 1 a.m. It was also posted in an online discussion forum about Greek life just after 10 p.m., The Daily Orange, the student newspaper, reported.The agency is working with the Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, and the FBI to investigate the quickly escalating situation on campus, but the university\u2019s DPS said there was no \u201cspecific\u201d threat to the school Tuesday, The Daily Orange reported.In response, protesters have asked that the administration cancel classes and campus events.\u201cStudents are scared for their own safety,\u201d tweeted Josh Meyers, a Syracuse student journalist, on Tuesday morning. \u201cCampus is looking extra empty this morning.\u201d\u201cStudents are truly terrified here,\u201d he told The Daily Beast.This marks the 11th racist incident reported on campus since Nov. 6, including the Saturday night harassment of a black student by members of a fraternity who allegedly yelled the n-word at her as she waited for a bus. Others have included anti-Semitic and anti-Asian graffiti in the form of a swastika and slurs. The n-word was also reportedly found scribbled in residence halls and a physics building. In another incident, a student loudly yelled a racial slur against black Americans. Separately, a Chinese freshman reported a racial epithet being used against him.University Chancellor Kent Syverud said in a letter to students and staff Sunday that he was \u201cdeeply angered by these events\u201d and hours later announced a $50,000 reward for any evidence that leads to \u201cthe apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible for these heinous acts.\u201d The money came from a \u201cgenerous\u201d donor, he said.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today. As a Mexican and Jewish woman I don\u2019t feel safe going to campus. This is a direct attack. First and foremost I care about the safety of my students.\u201dRead more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013. As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota. Erickson told the two that he owned land there and would set up a transaction between two of his companies.One of the companies he represented while soliciting investments was Northern Plains Holdings, LLC, according to investors and people familiar with the deal. The North Dakota secretary of state\u2019s office told The Daily Beast it did not have record of such a company connected to Erickson. In a complaint filed in a lawsuit in 2015, one of the investors alleged Erickson planned to use a company he controlled to sell undeveloped North Dakota land it owned to a second company Erickson controlled.In an email in November of 2013 to a potential investor for the Bakken deal, Erickson asked for funding for what he called his \u201cnew real estate development venture\u201d in North Dakota. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the work of our development team as together we find new ways to service the office and housing needs of this new American gold rush,\u201d Erickson wrote. In the email, Erickson called his new business the \u201cBakken oil fields\u201d and said it was set up to capitalize on the boom in North Dakota.\u201cDue to your interest in my work and in consideration of past kindness, I would welcome your investment of any amount you choose (up to $100,000),\u201d the email said. Erickson garnered at least $50,000 from the email exchange and did not pay any of it back, according to the judge\u2019s decision on the 2015 case.\u2014 Pervaiz Shallwani contributed to this story.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis said the seized vessels included a Korean drilling rig and the Saudi tug, the Rabigh 3, which was captured by armed Houthi fighters who attacked from two boats.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She\u2019s been through a grueling trial\u2014charged with aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, and child endangerment\u2014and endured a national media circus. But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle. Every night, she told Cosmo, \u201cI would lie down and wish that I could have died in place of Annabelle.\u201d\u201cI wish I would have done it differently,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m plagued by guilt every day for not telling someone.\u201dOhio Cheerleader Found Not Guilty of Murdering Her Newborn BabyRichardson discovered she was pregnant in April 2017, at a gynecologist appointment her mother had arranged to get her birth control.

To this day, she maintains it was a stillbirth. (\u201cI did not hurt, harm, or kill Annabelle,\u201d she told Cosmo.) Panicked, she ran outside and dug a shallow grave in her backyard. She covered it with pink flower petals.Months after, when Richardson finally told a doctor the outcome of the pregnancy, the doctor reported her to authorities for suspected child abuse. Police assigned to the case questioned her for hours, until she admitted to trying to cremate the remains. Later, her defense team would say this confession was coerced, and the prosecution\u2019s own expert witness would also say there was no evidence of burning.But as news of her story spread, people in Richardson\u2019s town and beyond started calling her a monster.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned. Lieutenant\u00a0General Saad al-Allaq, head of Iraq\u2019s Military Intelligence, claimed in an interview with CNN that Iraq has given Ankara\u00a0dossiers on nine alleged\u00a0leaders of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), including top financiers for the terror group. The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen. Allaq, who rarely gives interviews, said Iraq had intelligence that Isil leaders were planning jailbreaks of its supporters held in prisons and camps across Syria and Iraq. Isil members are led away to be questioned by coalition forces after surrendering, near Baghuz, eastern Syria Credit: Sam Tarling\u00a0 Turkey told the US network they were looking into the allegations. He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration. Turkey then announced arrests it had made of Baghdadi\u2019s relatives, who had apparently been hiding in the country.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said. He added that the two nations\u2019 relationship had \u201csuffered setbacks\u201d but remained enduring.Esper also pledged to continue supporting Philippine military upgrades and counter-terrorism efforts and said it was good to clarify the defense treaty to respond to changing times.(Updates with comments from Esper, China\u2019s Foreign Ministry in grafs 5-7)\--With assistance from Peter Martin.To contact the reporters on this story: Andreo Calonzo in Manila at acalonzo1@bloomberg.net;Glen Carey in Manila at gcarey8@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Cecilia Yap at cyap19@bloomberg.net, Muneeza NaqviFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com\u00a92019 Bloomberg L.P.

\"IndianaThousands of red-clad Indiana teachers swarmed the state capitol building on Tuesday, chanting loudly to protest low salaries and evaluation policies and forcing half the state's school districts to cancel classes for the day. \"Indiana legislators drew first blood against public education,\" read one of the signs hoisted by Indiana State Teachers Association demonstrators wearing red hats and sweaters as they stood at the steps of the capitol. In 2018, teachers in Arizona, West Virginia and Oklahoma staged largely successful days-long strikes to demand higher salaries.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

Her eating disorder\u2014which became a fixture of the dramatic coverage around her case\u2014has persisted, and she has also been diagnosed with mild PTSD and severe depression.\u201cI\u2019m still living with a lot of fear,\u201d Richardson told Cosmo. \u201cThe past two years have been nothing short of a nightmare. After being constantly afraid and paranoid of everyone and everything around me, I\u2019m having a hard time letting that go.\u201dRichardson will still have to serve three years on probation for the one charge on which the jury found her guilty\u2014gross abuse of a corpse. Still, she has signed up for paralegal classes at a community college, and says she plans to seek treatment for her eating disorders. She hopes to eventually work for the Ohio Innocence Project.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal.

As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota.

\"WhitePhoto by Brett Carlsen/Getty ImagesThe hate speech and racist harassment at Syracuse University once again boiled over last night. While student protesters participated in the sixth day of a sit-in demanding increased campus safety, others sitting in the library allegedly found that a white-supremacist manifesto had been AirDropped to their cellphones.The university\u2019s Department of Public Safety announced in a campus-wide email early Tuesday morning that it was investigating reports that the hate manifesto, which students told The Daily Beast was the same one used by the Christchurch mosque shooter, was sent to student phones at Bird Library at around 1 a.m. It was also posted in an online discussion forum about Greek life just after 10 p.m., The Daily Orange, the student newspaper, reported.The agency is working with the Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, and the FBI to investigate the quickly escalating situation on campus, but the university\u2019s DPS said there was no \u201cspecific\u201d threat to the school Tuesday, The Daily Orange reported.In response, protesters have asked that the administration cancel classes and campus events.\u201cStudents are scared for their own safety,\u201d tweeted Josh Meyers, a Syracuse student journalist, on Tuesday morning. \u201cCampus is looking extra empty this morning.\u201d\u201cStudents are truly terrified here,\u201d he told The Daily Beast.This marks the 11th racist incident reported on campus since Nov. 6, including the Saturday night harassment of a black student by members of a fraternity who allegedly yelled the n-word at her as she waited for a bus. Others have included anti-Semitic and anti-Asian graffiti in the form of a swastika and slurs. The n-word was also reportedly found scribbled in residence halls and a physics building. In another incident, a student loudly yelled a racial slur against black Americans. Separately, a Chinese freshman reported a racial epithet being used against him.University Chancellor Kent Syverud said in a letter to students and staff Sunday that he was \u201cdeeply angered by these events\u201d and hours later announced a $50,000 reward for any evidence that leads to \u201cthe apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible for these heinous acts.\u201d The money came from a \u201cgenerous\u201d donor, he said.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today. As a Mexican and Jewish woman I don\u2019t feel safe going to campus. This is a direct attack. First and foremost I care about the safety of my students.\u201dRead more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013. As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota. Erickson told the two that he owned land there and would set up a transaction between two of his companies.One of the companies he represented while soliciting investments was Northern Plains Holdings, LLC, according to investors and people familiar with the deal. The North Dakota secretary of state\u2019s office told The Daily Beast it did not have record of such a company connected to Erickson. In a complaint filed in a lawsuit in 2015, one of the investors alleged Erickson planned to use a company he controlled to sell undeveloped North Dakota land it owned to a second company Erickson controlled.In an email in November of 2013 to a potential investor for the Bakken deal, Erickson asked for funding for what he called his \u201cnew real estate development venture\u201d in North Dakota. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the work of our development team as together we find new ways to service the office and housing needs of this new American gold rush,\u201d Erickson wrote. In the email, Erickson called his new business the \u201cBakken oil fields\u201d and said it was set up to capitalize on the boom in North Dakota.\u201cDue to your interest in my work and in consideration of past kindness, I would welcome your investment of any amount you choose (up to $100,000),\u201d the email said. Erickson garnered at least $50,000 from the email exchange and did not pay any of it back, according to the judge\u2019s decision on the 2015 case.\u2014 Pervaiz Shallwani contributed to this story.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis said the seized vessels included a Korean drilling rig and the Saudi tug, the Rabigh 3, which was captured by armed Houthi fighters who attacked from two boats.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She\u2019s been through a grueling trial\u2014charged with aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, and child endangerment\u2014and endured a national media circus. But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle. Every night, she told Cosmo, \u201cI would lie down and wish that I could have died in place of Annabelle.\u201d\u201cI wish I would have done it differently,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m plagued by guilt every day for not telling someone.\u201dOhio Cheerleader Found Not Guilty of Murdering Her Newborn BabyRichardson discovered she was pregnant in April 2017, at a gynecologist appointment her mother had arranged to get her birth control.

To this day, she maintains it was a stillbirth. (\u201cI did not hurt, harm, or kill Annabelle,\u201d she told Cosmo.) Panicked, she ran outside and dug a shallow grave in her backyard. She covered it with pink flower petals.Months after, when Richardson finally told a doctor the outcome of the pregnancy, the doctor reported her to authorities for suspected child abuse. Police assigned to the case questioned her for hours, until she admitted to trying to cremate the remains. Later, her defense team would say this confession was coerced, and the prosecution\u2019s own expert witness would also say there was no evidence of burning.But as news of her story spread, people in Richardson\u2019s town and beyond started calling her a monster.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned. Lieutenant\u00a0General Saad al-Allaq, head of Iraq\u2019s Military Intelligence, claimed in an interview with CNN that Iraq has given Ankara\u00a0dossiers on nine alleged\u00a0leaders of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), including top financiers for the terror group. The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen. Allaq, who rarely gives interviews, said Iraq had intelligence that Isil leaders were planning jailbreaks of its supporters held in prisons and camps across Syria and Iraq. Isil members are led away to be questioned by coalition forces after surrendering, near Baghuz, eastern Syria Credit: Sam Tarling\u00a0 Turkey told the US network they were looking into the allegations. He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration. Turkey then announced arrests it had made of Baghdadi\u2019s relatives, who had apparently been hiding in the country.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said. He added that the two nations\u2019 relationship had \u201csuffered setbacks\u201d but remained enduring.Esper also pledged to continue supporting Philippine military upgrades and counter-terrorism efforts and said it was good to clarify the defense treaty to respond to changing times.(Updates with comments from Esper, China\u2019s Foreign Ministry in grafs 5-7)\--With assistance from Peter Martin.To contact the reporters on this story: Andreo Calonzo in Manila at acalonzo1@bloomberg.net;Glen Carey in Manila at gcarey8@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Cecilia Yap at cyap19@bloomberg.net, Muneeza NaqviFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com\u00a92019 Bloomberg L.P.

\"IndianaThousands of red-clad Indiana teachers swarmed the state capitol building on Tuesday, chanting loudly to protest low salaries and evaluation policies and forcing half the state's school districts to cancel classes for the day. \"Indiana legislators drew first blood against public education,\" read one of the signs hoisted by Indiana State Teachers Association demonstrators wearing red hats and sweaters as they stood at the steps of the capitol. In 2018, teachers in Arizona, West Virginia and Oklahoma staged largely successful days-long strikes to demand higher salaries.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

Her eating disorder\u2014which became a fixture of the dramatic coverage around her case\u2014has persisted, and she has also been diagnosed with mild PTSD and severe depression.\u201cI\u2019m still living with a lot of fear,\u201d Richardson told Cosmo. \u201cThe past two years have been nothing short of a nightmare. After being constantly afraid and paranoid of everyone and everything around me, I\u2019m having a hard time letting that go.\u201dRichardson will still have to serve three years on probation for the one charge on which the jury found her guilty\u2014gross abuse of a corpse. Still, she has signed up for paralegal classes at a community college, and says she plans to seek treatment for her eating disorders. She hopes to eventually work for the Ohio Innocence Project.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal.

As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota.

\"WhitePhoto by Brett Carlsen/Getty ImagesThe hate speech and racist harassment at Syracuse University once again boiled over last night. While student protesters participated in the sixth day of a sit-in demanding increased campus safety, others sitting in the library allegedly found that a white-supremacist manifesto had been AirDropped to their cellphones.The university\u2019s Department of Public Safety announced in a campus-wide email early Tuesday morning that it was investigating reports that the hate manifesto, which students told The Daily Beast was the same one used by the Christchurch mosque shooter, was sent to student phones at Bird Library at around 1 a.m. It was also posted in an online discussion forum about Greek life just after 10 p.m., The Daily Orange, the student newspaper, reported.The agency is working with the Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, and the FBI to investigate the quickly escalating situation on campus, but the university\u2019s DPS said there was no \u201cspecific\u201d threat to the school Tuesday, The Daily Orange reported.In response, protesters have asked that the administration cancel classes and campus events.\u201cStudents are scared for their own safety,\u201d tweeted Josh Meyers, a Syracuse student journalist, on Tuesday morning. \u201cCampus is looking extra empty this morning.\u201d\u201cStudents are truly terrified here,\u201d he told The Daily Beast.This marks the 11th racist incident reported on campus since Nov. 6, including the Saturday night harassment of a black student by members of a fraternity who allegedly yelled the n-word at her as she waited for a bus. Others have included anti-Semitic and anti-Asian graffiti in the form of a swastika and slurs. The n-word was also reportedly found scribbled in residence halls and a physics building. In another incident, a student loudly yelled a racial slur against black Americans. Separately, a Chinese freshman reported a racial epithet being used against him.University Chancellor Kent Syverud said in a letter to students and staff Sunday that he was \u201cdeeply angered by these events\u201d and hours later announced a $50,000 reward for any evidence that leads to \u201cthe apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible for these heinous acts.\u201d The money came from a \u201cgenerous\u201d donor, he said.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today. As a Mexican and Jewish woman I don\u2019t feel safe going to campus. This is a direct attack. First and foremost I care about the safety of my students.\u201dRead more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013. As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota. Erickson told the two that he owned land there and would set up a transaction between two of his companies.One of the companies he represented while soliciting investments was Northern Plains Holdings, LLC, according to investors and people familiar with the deal. The North Dakota secretary of state\u2019s office told The Daily Beast it did not have record of such a company connected to Erickson. In a complaint filed in a lawsuit in 2015, one of the investors alleged Erickson planned to use a company he controlled to sell undeveloped North Dakota land it owned to a second company Erickson controlled.In an email in November of 2013 to a potential investor for the Bakken deal, Erickson asked for funding for what he called his \u201cnew real estate development venture\u201d in North Dakota. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the work of our development team as together we find new ways to service the office and housing needs of this new American gold rush,\u201d Erickson wrote. In the email, Erickson called his new business the \u201cBakken oil fields\u201d and said it was set up to capitalize on the boom in North Dakota.\u201cDue to your interest in my work and in consideration of past kindness, I would welcome your investment of any amount you choose (up to $100,000),\u201d the email said. Erickson garnered at least $50,000 from the email exchange and did not pay any of it back, according to the judge\u2019s decision on the 2015 case.\u2014 Pervaiz Shallwani contributed to this story.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis said the seized vessels included a Korean drilling rig and the Saudi tug, the Rabigh 3, which was captured by armed Houthi fighters who attacked from two boats.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She\u2019s been through a grueling trial\u2014charged with aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, and child endangerment\u2014and endured a national media circus. But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle. Every night, she told Cosmo, \u201cI would lie down and wish that I could have died in place of Annabelle.\u201d\u201cI wish I would have done it differently,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m plagued by guilt every day for not telling someone.\u201dOhio Cheerleader Found Not Guilty of Murdering Her Newborn BabyRichardson discovered she was pregnant in April 2017, at a gynecologist appointment her mother had arranged to get her birth control.

To this day, she maintains it was a stillbirth. (\u201cI did not hurt, harm, or kill Annabelle,\u201d she told Cosmo.) Panicked, she ran outside and dug a shallow grave in her backyard. She covered it with pink flower petals.Months after, when Richardson finally told a doctor the outcome of the pregnancy, the doctor reported her to authorities for suspected child abuse. Police assigned to the case questioned her for hours, until she admitted to trying to cremate the remains. Later, her defense team would say this confession was coerced, and the prosecution\u2019s own expert witness would also say there was no evidence of burning.But as news of her story spread, people in Richardson\u2019s town and beyond started calling her a monster.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned. Lieutenant\u00a0General Saad al-Allaq, head of Iraq\u2019s Military Intelligence, claimed in an interview with CNN that Iraq has given Ankara\u00a0dossiers on nine alleged\u00a0leaders of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), including top financiers for the terror group. The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen. Allaq, who rarely gives interviews, said Iraq had intelligence that Isil leaders were planning jailbreaks of its supporters held in prisons and camps across Syria and Iraq. Isil members are led away to be questioned by coalition forces after surrendering, near Baghuz, eastern Syria Credit: Sam Tarling\u00a0 Turkey told the US network they were looking into the allegations. He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration. Turkey then announced arrests it had made of Baghdadi\u2019s relatives, who had apparently been hiding in the country.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said. He added that the two nations\u2019 relationship had \u201csuffered setbacks\u201d but remained enduring.Esper also pledged to continue supporting Philippine military upgrades and counter-terrorism efforts and said it was good to clarify the defense treaty to respond to changing times.(Updates with comments from Esper, China\u2019s Foreign Ministry in grafs 5-7)\--With assistance from Peter Martin.To contact the reporters on this story: Andreo Calonzo in Manila at acalonzo1@bloomberg.net;Glen Carey in Manila at gcarey8@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Cecilia Yap at cyap19@bloomberg.net, Muneeza NaqviFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com\u00a92019 Bloomberg L.P.

\"IndianaThousands of red-clad Indiana teachers swarmed the state capitol building on Tuesday, chanting loudly to protest low salaries and evaluation policies and forcing half the state's school districts to cancel classes for the day. \"Indiana legislators drew first blood against public education,\" read one of the signs hoisted by Indiana State Teachers Association demonstrators wearing red hats and sweaters as they stood at the steps of the capitol. In 2018, teachers in Arizona, West Virginia and Oklahoma staged largely successful days-long strikes to demand higher salaries.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

Her eating disorder\u2014which became a fixture of the dramatic coverage around her case\u2014has persisted, and she has also been diagnosed with mild PTSD and severe depression.\u201cI\u2019m still living with a lot of fear,\u201d Richardson told Cosmo. \u201cThe past two years have been nothing short of a nightmare. After being constantly afraid and paranoid of everyone and everything around me, I\u2019m having a hard time letting that go.\u201dRichardson will still have to serve three years on probation for the one charge on which the jury found her guilty\u2014gross abuse of a corpse. Still, she has signed up for paralegal classes at a community college, and says she plans to seek treatment for her eating disorders. She hopes to eventually work for the Ohio Innocence Project.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal.

As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota.

\"WhitePhoto by Brett Carlsen/Getty ImagesThe hate speech and racist harassment at Syracuse University once again boiled over last night. While student protesters participated in the sixth day of a sit-in demanding increased campus safety, others sitting in the library allegedly found that a white-supremacist manifesto had been AirDropped to their cellphones.The university\u2019s Department of Public Safety announced in a campus-wide email early Tuesday morning that it was investigating reports that the hate manifesto, which students told The Daily Beast was the same one used by the Christchurch mosque shooter, was sent to student phones at Bird Library at around 1 a.m. It was also posted in an online discussion forum about Greek life just after 10 p.m., The Daily Orange, the student newspaper, reported.The agency is working with the Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, and the FBI to investigate the quickly escalating situation on campus, but the university\u2019s DPS said there was no \u201cspecific\u201d threat to the school Tuesday, The Daily Orange reported.In response, protesters have asked that the administration cancel classes and campus events.\u201cStudents are scared for their own safety,\u201d tweeted Josh Meyers, a Syracuse student journalist, on Tuesday morning. \u201cCampus is looking extra empty this morning.\u201d\u201cStudents are truly terrified here,\u201d he told The Daily Beast.This marks the 11th racist incident reported on campus since Nov. 6, including the Saturday night harassment of a black student by members of a fraternity who allegedly yelled the n-word at her as she waited for a bus. Others have included anti-Semitic and anti-Asian graffiti in the form of a swastika and slurs. The n-word was also reportedly found scribbled in residence halls and a physics building. In another incident, a student loudly yelled a racial slur against black Americans. Separately, a Chinese freshman reported a racial epithet being used against him.University Chancellor Kent Syverud said in a letter to students and staff Sunday that he was \u201cdeeply angered by these events\u201d and hours later announced a $50,000 reward for any evidence that leads to \u201cthe apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible for these heinous acts.\u201d The money came from a \u201cgenerous\u201d donor, he said.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today. As a Mexican and Jewish woman I don\u2019t feel safe going to campus. This is a direct attack. First and foremost I care about the safety of my students.\u201dRead more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013. As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota. Erickson told the two that he owned land there and would set up a transaction between two of his companies.One of the companies he represented while soliciting investments was Northern Plains Holdings, LLC, according to investors and people familiar with the deal. The North Dakota secretary of state\u2019s office told The Daily Beast it did not have record of such a company connected to Erickson. In a complaint filed in a lawsuit in 2015, one of the investors alleged Erickson planned to use a company he controlled to sell undeveloped North Dakota land it owned to a second company Erickson controlled.In an email in November of 2013 to a potential investor for the Bakken deal, Erickson asked for funding for what he called his \u201cnew real estate development venture\u201d in North Dakota. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the work of our development team as together we find new ways to service the office and housing needs of this new American gold rush,\u201d Erickson wrote. In the email, Erickson called his new business the \u201cBakken oil fields\u201d and said it was set up to capitalize on the boom in North Dakota.\u201cDue to your interest in my work and in consideration of past kindness, I would welcome your investment of any amount you choose (up to $100,000),\u201d the email said. Erickson garnered at least $50,000 from the email exchange and did not pay any of it back, according to the judge\u2019s decision on the 2015 case.\u2014 Pervaiz Shallwani contributed to this story.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis said the seized vessels included a Korean drilling rig and the Saudi tug, the Rabigh 3, which was captured by armed Houthi fighters who attacked from two boats.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She\u2019s been through a grueling trial\u2014charged with aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, and child endangerment\u2014and endured a national media circus. But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle. Every night, she told Cosmo, \u201cI would lie down and wish that I could have died in place of Annabelle.\u201d\u201cI wish I would have done it differently,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m plagued by guilt every day for not telling someone.\u201dOhio Cheerleader Found Not Guilty of Murdering Her Newborn BabyRichardson discovered she was pregnant in April 2017, at a gynecologist appointment her mother had arranged to get her birth control.

To this day, she maintains it was a stillbirth. (\u201cI did not hurt, harm, or kill Annabelle,\u201d she told Cosmo.) Panicked, she ran outside and dug a shallow grave in her backyard. She covered it with pink flower petals.Months after, when Richardson finally told a doctor the outcome of the pregnancy, the doctor reported her to authorities for suspected child abuse. Police assigned to the case questioned her for hours, until she admitted to trying to cremate the remains. Later, her defense team would say this confession was coerced, and the prosecution\u2019s own expert witness would also say there was no evidence of burning.But as news of her story spread, people in Richardson\u2019s town and beyond started calling her a monster.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned. Lieutenant\u00a0General Saad al-Allaq, head of Iraq\u2019s Military Intelligence, claimed in an interview with CNN that Iraq has given Ankara\u00a0dossiers on nine alleged\u00a0leaders of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), including top financiers for the terror group. The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen. Allaq, who rarely gives interviews, said Iraq had intelligence that Isil leaders were planning jailbreaks of its supporters held in prisons and camps across Syria and Iraq. Isil members are led away to be questioned by coalition forces after surrendering, near Baghuz, eastern Syria Credit: Sam Tarling\u00a0 Turkey told the US network they were looking into the allegations. He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration. Turkey then announced arrests it had made of Baghdadi\u2019s relatives, who had apparently been hiding in the country.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said. He added that the two nations\u2019 relationship had \u201csuffered setbacks\u201d but remained enduring.Esper also pledged to continue supporting Philippine military upgrades and counter-terrorism efforts and said it was good to clarify the defense treaty to respond to changing times.(Updates with comments from Esper, China\u2019s Foreign Ministry in grafs 5-7)\--With assistance from Peter Martin.To contact the reporters on this story: Andreo Calonzo in Manila at acalonzo1@bloomberg.net;Glen Carey in Manila at gcarey8@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Cecilia Yap at cyap19@bloomberg.net, Muneeza NaqviFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com\u00a92019 Bloomberg L.P.

\"IndianaThousands of red-clad Indiana teachers swarmed the state capitol building on Tuesday, chanting loudly to protest low salaries and evaluation policies and forcing half the state's school districts to cancel classes for the day. \"Indiana legislators drew first blood against public education,\" read one of the signs hoisted by Indiana State Teachers Association demonstrators wearing red hats and sweaters as they stood at the steps of the capitol. In 2018, teachers in Arizona, West Virginia and Oklahoma staged largely successful days-long strikes to demand higher salaries.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

Her eating disorder\u2014which became a fixture of the dramatic coverage around her case\u2014has persisted, and she has also been diagnosed with mild PTSD and severe depression.\u201cI\u2019m still living with a lot of fear,\u201d Richardson told Cosmo. \u201cThe past two years have been nothing short of a nightmare. After being constantly afraid and paranoid of everyone and everything around me, I\u2019m having a hard time letting that go.\u201dRichardson will still have to serve three years on probation for the one charge on which the jury found her guilty\u2014gross abuse of a corpse. Still, she has signed up for paralegal classes at a community college, and says she plans to seek treatment for her eating disorders. She hopes to eventually work for the Ohio Innocence Project.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal.

As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota.

\"WhitePhoto by Brett Carlsen/Getty ImagesThe hate speech and racist harassment at Syracuse University once again boiled over last night. While student protesters participated in the sixth day of a sit-in demanding increased campus safety, others sitting in the library allegedly found that a white-supremacist manifesto had been AirDropped to their cellphones.The university\u2019s Department of Public Safety announced in a campus-wide email early Tuesday morning that it was investigating reports that the hate manifesto, which students told The Daily Beast was the same one used by the Christchurch mosque shooter, was sent to student phones at Bird Library at around 1 a.m. It was also posted in an online discussion forum about Greek life just after 10 p.m., The Daily Orange, the student newspaper, reported.The agency is working with the Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, and the FBI to investigate the quickly escalating situation on campus, but the university\u2019s DPS said there was no \u201cspecific\u201d threat to the school Tuesday, The Daily Orange reported.In response, protesters have asked that the administration cancel classes and campus events.\u201cStudents are scared for their own safety,\u201d tweeted Josh Meyers, a Syracuse student journalist, on Tuesday morning. \u201cCampus is looking extra empty this morning.\u201d\u201cStudents are truly terrified here,\u201d he told The Daily Beast.This marks the 11th racist incident reported on campus since Nov. 6, including the Saturday night harassment of a black student by members of a fraternity who allegedly yelled the n-word at her as she waited for a bus. Others have included anti-Semitic and anti-Asian graffiti in the form of a swastika and slurs. The n-word was also reportedly found scribbled in residence halls and a physics building. In another incident, a student loudly yelled a racial slur against black Americans. Separately, a Chinese freshman reported a racial epithet being used against him.University Chancellor Kent Syverud said in a letter to students and staff Sunday that he was \u201cdeeply angered by these events\u201d and hours later announced a $50,000 reward for any evidence that leads to \u201cthe apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible for these heinous acts.\u201d The money came from a \u201cgenerous\u201d donor, he said.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today. As a Mexican and Jewish woman I don\u2019t feel safe going to campus. This is a direct attack. First and foremost I care about the safety of my students.\u201dRead more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013. As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota. Erickson told the two that he owned land there and would set up a transaction between two of his companies.One of the companies he represented while soliciting investments was Northern Plains Holdings, LLC, according to investors and people familiar with the deal. The North Dakota secretary of state\u2019s office told The Daily Beast it did not have record of such a company connected to Erickson. In a complaint filed in a lawsuit in 2015, one of the investors alleged Erickson planned to use a company he controlled to sell undeveloped North Dakota land it owned to a second company Erickson controlled.In an email in November of 2013 to a potential investor for the Bakken deal, Erickson asked for funding for what he called his \u201cnew real estate development venture\u201d in North Dakota. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the work of our development team as together we find new ways to service the office and housing needs of this new American gold rush,\u201d Erickson wrote. In the email, Erickson called his new business the \u201cBakken oil fields\u201d and said it was set up to capitalize on the boom in North Dakota.\u201cDue to your interest in my work and in consideration of past kindness, I would welcome your investment of any amount you choose (up to $100,000),\u201d the email said. Erickson garnered at least $50,000 from the email exchange and did not pay any of it back, according to the judge\u2019s decision on the 2015 case.\u2014 Pervaiz Shallwani contributed to this story.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis said the seized vessels included a Korean drilling rig and the Saudi tug, the Rabigh 3, which was captured by armed Houthi fighters who attacked from two boats.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She\u2019s been through a grueling trial\u2014charged with aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, and child endangerment\u2014and endured a national media circus. But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle. Every night, she told Cosmo, \u201cI would lie down and wish that I could have died in place of Annabelle.\u201d\u201cI wish I would have done it differently,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m plagued by guilt every day for not telling someone.\u201dOhio Cheerleader Found Not Guilty of Murdering Her Newborn BabyRichardson discovered she was pregnant in April 2017, at a gynecologist appointment her mother had arranged to get her birth control.

To this day, she maintains it was a stillbirth. (\u201cI did not hurt, harm, or kill Annabelle,\u201d she told Cosmo.) Panicked, she ran outside and dug a shallow grave in her backyard. She covered it with pink flower petals.Months after, when Richardson finally told a doctor the outcome of the pregnancy, the doctor reported her to authorities for suspected child abuse. Police assigned to the case questioned her for hours, until she admitted to trying to cremate the remains. Later, her defense team would say this confession was coerced, and the prosecution\u2019s own expert witness would also say there was no evidence of burning.But as news of her story spread, people in Richardson\u2019s town and beyond started calling her a monster.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned. Lieutenant\u00a0General Saad al-Allaq, head of Iraq\u2019s Military Intelligence, claimed in an interview with CNN that Iraq has given Ankara\u00a0dossiers on nine alleged\u00a0leaders of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), including top financiers for the terror group. The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen. Allaq, who rarely gives interviews, said Iraq had intelligence that Isil leaders were planning jailbreaks of its supporters held in prisons and camps across Syria and Iraq. Isil members are led away to be questioned by coalition forces after surrendering, near Baghuz, eastern Syria Credit: Sam Tarling\u00a0 Turkey told the US network they were looking into the allegations. He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration. Turkey then announced arrests it had made of Baghdadi\u2019s relatives, who had apparently been hiding in the country.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said. He added that the two nations\u2019 relationship had \u201csuffered setbacks\u201d but remained enduring.Esper also pledged to continue supporting Philippine military upgrades and counter-terrorism efforts and said it was good to clarify the defense treaty to respond to changing times.(Updates with comments from Esper, China\u2019s Foreign Ministry in grafs 5-7)\--With assistance from Peter Martin.To contact the reporters on this story: Andreo Calonzo in Manila at acalonzo1@bloomberg.net;Glen Carey in Manila at gcarey8@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Cecilia Yap at cyap19@bloomberg.net, Muneeza NaqviFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com\u00a92019 Bloomberg L.P.

\"IndianaThousands of red-clad Indiana teachers swarmed the state capitol building on Tuesday, chanting loudly to protest low salaries and evaluation policies and forcing half the state's school districts to cancel classes for the day. \"Indiana legislators drew first blood against public education,\" read one of the signs hoisted by Indiana State Teachers Association demonstrators wearing red hats and sweaters as they stood at the steps of the capitol. In 2018, teachers in Arizona, West Virginia and Oklahoma staged largely successful days-long strikes to demand higher salaries.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

Her eating disorder\u2014which became a fixture of the dramatic coverage around her case\u2014has persisted, and she has also been diagnosed with mild PTSD and severe depression.\u201cI\u2019m still living with a lot of fear,\u201d Richardson told Cosmo. \u201cThe past two years have been nothing short of a nightmare. After being constantly afraid and paranoid of everyone and everything around me, I\u2019m having a hard time letting that go.\u201dRichardson will still have to serve three years on probation for the one charge on which the jury found her guilty\u2014gross abuse of a corpse. Still, she has signed up for paralegal classes at a community college, and says she plans to seek treatment for her eating disorders. She hopes to eventually work for the Ohio Innocence Project.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal.

As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota.

\"WhitePhoto by Brett Carlsen/Getty ImagesThe hate speech and racist harassment at Syracuse University once again boiled over last night. While student protesters participated in the sixth day of a sit-in demanding increased campus safety, others sitting in the library allegedly found that a white-supremacist manifesto had been AirDropped to their cellphones.The university\u2019s Department of Public Safety announced in a campus-wide email early Tuesday morning that it was investigating reports that the hate manifesto, which students told The Daily Beast was the same one used by the Christchurch mosque shooter, was sent to student phones at Bird Library at around 1 a.m. It was also posted in an online discussion forum about Greek life just after 10 p.m., The Daily Orange, the student newspaper, reported.The agency is working with the Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, and the FBI to investigate the quickly escalating situation on campus, but the university\u2019s DPS said there was no \u201cspecific\u201d threat to the school Tuesday, The Daily Orange reported.In response, protesters have asked that the administration cancel classes and campus events.\u201cStudents are scared for their own safety,\u201d tweeted Josh Meyers, a Syracuse student journalist, on Tuesday morning. \u201cCampus is looking extra empty this morning.\u201d\u201cStudents are truly terrified here,\u201d he told The Daily Beast.This marks the 11th racist incident reported on campus since Nov. 6, including the Saturday night harassment of a black student by members of a fraternity who allegedly yelled the n-word at her as she waited for a bus. Others have included anti-Semitic and anti-Asian graffiti in the form of a swastika and slurs. The n-word was also reportedly found scribbled in residence halls and a physics building. In another incident, a student loudly yelled a racial slur against black Americans. Separately, a Chinese freshman reported a racial epithet being used against him.University Chancellor Kent Syverud said in a letter to students and staff Sunday that he was \u201cdeeply angered by these events\u201d and hours later announced a $50,000 reward for any evidence that leads to \u201cthe apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible for these heinous acts.\u201d The money came from a \u201cgenerous\u201d donor, he said.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today. As a Mexican and Jewish woman I don\u2019t feel safe going to campus. This is a direct attack. First and foremost I care about the safety of my students.\u201dRead more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013. As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota. Erickson told the two that he owned land there and would set up a transaction between two of his companies.One of the companies he represented while soliciting investments was Northern Plains Holdings, LLC, according to investors and people familiar with the deal. The North Dakota secretary of state\u2019s office told The Daily Beast it did not have record of such a company connected to Erickson. In a complaint filed in a lawsuit in 2015, one of the investors alleged Erickson planned to use a company he controlled to sell undeveloped North Dakota land it owned to a second company Erickson controlled.In an email in November of 2013 to a potential investor for the Bakken deal, Erickson asked for funding for what he called his \u201cnew real estate development venture\u201d in North Dakota. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the work of our development team as together we find new ways to service the office and housing needs of this new American gold rush,\u201d Erickson wrote. In the email, Erickson called his new business the \u201cBakken oil fields\u201d and said it was set up to capitalize on the boom in North Dakota.\u201cDue to your interest in my work and in consideration of past kindness, I would welcome your investment of any amount you choose (up to $100,000),\u201d the email said. Erickson garnered at least $50,000 from the email exchange and did not pay any of it back, according to the judge\u2019s decision on the 2015 case.\u2014 Pervaiz Shallwani contributed to this story.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis said the seized vessels included a Korean drilling rig and the Saudi tug, the Rabigh 3, which was captured by armed Houthi fighters who attacked from two boats.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She\u2019s been through a grueling trial\u2014charged with aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, and child endangerment\u2014and endured a national media circus. But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle. Every night, she told Cosmo, \u201cI would lie down and wish that I could have died in place of Annabelle.\u201d\u201cI wish I would have done it differently,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m plagued by guilt every day for not telling someone.\u201dOhio Cheerleader Found Not Guilty of Murdering Her Newborn BabyRichardson discovered she was pregnant in April 2017, at a gynecologist appointment her mother had arranged to get her birth control.

To this day, she maintains it was a stillbirth. (\u201cI did not hurt, harm, or kill Annabelle,\u201d she told Cosmo.) Panicked, she ran outside and dug a shallow grave in her backyard. She covered it with pink flower petals.Months after, when Richardson finally told a doctor the outcome of the pregnancy, the doctor reported her to authorities for suspected child abuse. Police assigned to the case questioned her for hours, until she admitted to trying to cremate the remains. Later, her defense team would say this confession was coerced, and the prosecution\u2019s own expert witness would also say there was no evidence of burning.But as news of her story spread, people in Richardson\u2019s town and beyond started calling her a monster.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned. Lieutenant\u00a0General Saad al-Allaq, head of Iraq\u2019s Military Intelligence, claimed in an interview with CNN that Iraq has given Ankara\u00a0dossiers on nine alleged\u00a0leaders of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), including top financiers for the terror group. The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen. Allaq, who rarely gives interviews, said Iraq had intelligence that Isil leaders were planning jailbreaks of its supporters held in prisons and camps across Syria and Iraq. Isil members are led away to be questioned by coalition forces after surrendering, near Baghuz, eastern Syria Credit: Sam Tarling\u00a0 Turkey told the US network they were looking into the allegations. He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration. Turkey then announced arrests it had made of Baghdadi\u2019s relatives, who had apparently been hiding in the country.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said. He added that the two nations\u2019 relationship had \u201csuffered setbacks\u201d but remained enduring.Esper also pledged to continue supporting Philippine military upgrades and counter-terrorism efforts and said it was good to clarify the defense treaty to respond to changing times.(Updates with comments from Esper, China\u2019s Foreign Ministry in grafs 5-7)\--With assistance from Peter Martin.To contact the reporters on this story: Andreo Calonzo in Manila at acalonzo1@bloomberg.net;Glen Carey in Manila at gcarey8@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Cecilia Yap at cyap19@bloomberg.net, Muneeza NaqviFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com\u00a92019 Bloomberg L.P.

\"IndianaThousands of red-clad Indiana teachers swarmed the state capitol building on Tuesday, chanting loudly to protest low salaries and evaluation policies and forcing half the state's school districts to cancel classes for the day. \"Indiana legislators drew first blood against public education,\" read one of the signs hoisted by Indiana State Teachers Association demonstrators wearing red hats and sweaters as they stood at the steps of the capitol. In 2018, teachers in Arizona, West Virginia and Oklahoma staged largely successful days-long strikes to demand higher salaries.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

Her eating disorder\u2014which became a fixture of the dramatic coverage around her case\u2014has persisted, and she has also been diagnosed with mild PTSD and severe depression.\u201cI\u2019m still living with a lot of fear,\u201d Richardson told Cosmo. \u201cThe past two years have been nothing short of a nightmare. After being constantly afraid and paranoid of everyone and everything around me, I\u2019m having a hard time letting that go.\u201dRichardson will still have to serve three years on probation for the one charge on which the jury found her guilty\u2014gross abuse of a corpse. Still, she has signed up for paralegal classes at a community college, and says she plans to seek treatment for her eating disorders. She hopes to eventually work for the Ohio Innocence Project.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal.

As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota.

\"WhitePhoto by Brett Carlsen/Getty ImagesThe hate speech and racist harassment at Syracuse University once again boiled over last night. While student protesters participated in the sixth day of a sit-in demanding increased campus safety, others sitting in the library allegedly found that a white-supremacist manifesto had been AirDropped to their cellphones.The university\u2019s Department of Public Safety announced in a campus-wide email early Tuesday morning that it was investigating reports that the hate manifesto, which students told The Daily Beast was the same one used by the Christchurch mosque shooter, was sent to student phones at Bird Library at around 1 a.m. It was also posted in an online discussion forum about Greek life just after 10 p.m., The Daily Orange, the student newspaper, reported.The agency is working with the Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, and the FBI to investigate the quickly escalating situation on campus, but the university\u2019s DPS said there was no \u201cspecific\u201d threat to the school Tuesday, The Daily Orange reported.In response, protesters have asked that the administration cancel classes and campus events.\u201cStudents are scared for their own safety,\u201d tweeted Josh Meyers, a Syracuse student journalist, on Tuesday morning. \u201cCampus is looking extra empty this morning.\u201d\u201cStudents are truly terrified here,\u201d he told The Daily Beast.This marks the 11th racist incident reported on campus since Nov. 6, including the Saturday night harassment of a black student by members of a fraternity who allegedly yelled the n-word at her as she waited for a bus. Others have included anti-Semitic and anti-Asian graffiti in the form of a swastika and slurs. The n-word was also reportedly found scribbled in residence halls and a physics building. In another incident, a student loudly yelled a racial slur against black Americans. Separately, a Chinese freshman reported a racial epithet being used against him.University Chancellor Kent Syverud said in a letter to students and staff Sunday that he was \u201cdeeply angered by these events\u201d and hours later announced a $50,000 reward for any evidence that leads to \u201cthe apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible for these heinous acts.\u201d The money came from a \u201cgenerous\u201d donor, he said.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today. As a Mexican and Jewish woman I don\u2019t feel safe going to campus. This is a direct attack. First and foremost I care about the safety of my students.\u201dRead more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013. As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota. Erickson told the two that he owned land there and would set up a transaction between two of his companies.One of the companies he represented while soliciting investments was Northern Plains Holdings, LLC, according to investors and people familiar with the deal. The North Dakota secretary of state\u2019s office told The Daily Beast it did not have record of such a company connected to Erickson. In a complaint filed in a lawsuit in 2015, one of the investors alleged Erickson planned to use a company he controlled to sell undeveloped North Dakota land it owned to a second company Erickson controlled.In an email in November of 2013 to a potential investor for the Bakken deal, Erickson asked for funding for what he called his \u201cnew real estate development venture\u201d in North Dakota. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the work of our development team as together we find new ways to service the office and housing needs of this new American gold rush,\u201d Erickson wrote. In the email, Erickson called his new business the \u201cBakken oil fields\u201d and said it was set up to capitalize on the boom in North Dakota.\u201cDue to your interest in my work and in consideration of past kindness, I would welcome your investment of any amount you choose (up to $100,000),\u201d the email said. Erickson garnered at least $50,000 from the email exchange and did not pay any of it back, according to the judge\u2019s decision on the 2015 case.\u2014 Pervaiz Shallwani contributed to this story.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis said the seized vessels included a Korean drilling rig and the Saudi tug, the Rabigh 3, which was captured by armed Houthi fighters who attacked from two boats.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She\u2019s been through a grueling trial\u2014charged with aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, and child endangerment\u2014and endured a national media circus. But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle. Every night, she told Cosmo, \u201cI would lie down and wish that I could have died in place of Annabelle.\u201d\u201cI wish I would have done it differently,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m plagued by guilt every day for not telling someone.\u201dOhio Cheerleader Found Not Guilty of Murdering Her Newborn BabyRichardson discovered she was pregnant in April 2017, at a gynecologist appointment her mother had arranged to get her birth control.

To this day, she maintains it was a stillbirth. (\u201cI did not hurt, harm, or kill Annabelle,\u201d she told Cosmo.) Panicked, she ran outside and dug a shallow grave in her backyard. She covered it with pink flower petals.Months after, when Richardson finally told a doctor the outcome of the pregnancy, the doctor reported her to authorities for suspected child abuse. Police assigned to the case questioned her for hours, until she admitted to trying to cremate the remains. Later, her defense team would say this confession was coerced, and the prosecution\u2019s own expert witness would also say there was no evidence of burning.But as news of her story spread, people in Richardson\u2019s town and beyond started calling her a monster.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned. Lieutenant\u00a0General Saad al-Allaq, head of Iraq\u2019s Military Intelligence, claimed in an interview with CNN that Iraq has given Ankara\u00a0dossiers on nine alleged\u00a0leaders of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), including top financiers for the terror group. The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen. Allaq, who rarely gives interviews, said Iraq had intelligence that Isil leaders were planning jailbreaks of its supporters held in prisons and camps across Syria and Iraq. Isil members are led away to be questioned by coalition forces after surrendering, near Baghuz, eastern Syria Credit: Sam Tarling\u00a0 Turkey told the US network they were looking into the allegations. He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration. Turkey then announced arrests it had made of Baghdadi\u2019s relatives, who had apparently been hiding in the country.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said. He added that the two nations\u2019 relationship had \u201csuffered setbacks\u201d but remained enduring.Esper also pledged to continue supporting Philippine military upgrades and counter-terrorism efforts and said it was good to clarify the defense treaty to respond to changing times.(Updates with comments from Esper, China\u2019s Foreign Ministry in grafs 5-7)\--With assistance from Peter Martin.To contact the reporters on this story: Andreo Calonzo in Manila at acalonzo1@bloomberg.net;Glen Carey in Manila at gcarey8@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Cecilia Yap at cyap19@bloomberg.net, Muneeza NaqviFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com\u00a92019 Bloomberg L.P.

\"IndianaThousands of red-clad Indiana teachers swarmed the state capitol building on Tuesday, chanting loudly to protest low salaries and evaluation policies and forcing half the state's school districts to cancel classes for the day. \"Indiana legislators drew first blood against public education,\" read one of the signs hoisted by Indiana State Teachers Association demonstrators wearing red hats and sweaters as they stood at the steps of the capitol. In 2018, teachers in Arizona, West Virginia and Oklahoma staged largely successful days-long strikes to demand higher salaries.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

Her eating disorder\u2014which became a fixture of the dramatic coverage around her case\u2014has persisted, and she has also been diagnosed with mild PTSD and severe depression.\u201cI\u2019m still living with a lot of fear,\u201d Richardson told Cosmo. \u201cThe past two years have been nothing short of a nightmare. After being constantly afraid and paranoid of everyone and everything around me, I\u2019m having a hard time letting that go.\u201dRichardson will still have to serve three years on probation for the one charge on which the jury found her guilty\u2014gross abuse of a corpse. Still, she has signed up for paralegal classes at a community college, and says she plans to seek treatment for her eating disorders. She hopes to eventually work for the Ohio Innocence Project.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal.

As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota.

\"WhitePhoto by Brett Carlsen/Getty ImagesThe hate speech and racist harassment at Syracuse University once again boiled over last night. While student protesters participated in the sixth day of a sit-in demanding increased campus safety, others sitting in the library allegedly found that a white-supremacist manifesto had been AirDropped to their cellphones.The university\u2019s Department of Public Safety announced in a campus-wide email early Tuesday morning that it was investigating reports that the hate manifesto, which students told The Daily Beast was the same one used by the Christchurch mosque shooter, was sent to student phones at Bird Library at around 1 a.m. It was also posted in an online discussion forum about Greek life just after 10 p.m., The Daily Orange, the student newspaper, reported.The agency is working with the Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, and the FBI to investigate the quickly escalating situation on campus, but the university\u2019s DPS said there was no \u201cspecific\u201d threat to the school Tuesday, The Daily Orange reported.In response, protesters have asked that the administration cancel classes and campus events.\u201cStudents are scared for their own safety,\u201d tweeted Josh Meyers, a Syracuse student journalist, on Tuesday morning. \u201cCampus is looking extra empty this morning.\u201d\u201cStudents are truly terrified here,\u201d he told The Daily Beast.This marks the 11th racist incident reported on campus since Nov. 6, including the Saturday night harassment of a black student by members of a fraternity who allegedly yelled the n-word at her as she waited for a bus. Others have included anti-Semitic and anti-Asian graffiti in the form of a swastika and slurs. The n-word was also reportedly found scribbled in residence halls and a physics building. In another incident, a student loudly yelled a racial slur against black Americans. Separately, a Chinese freshman reported a racial epithet being used against him.University Chancellor Kent Syverud said in a letter to students and staff Sunday that he was \u201cdeeply angered by these events\u201d and hours later announced a $50,000 reward for any evidence that leads to \u201cthe apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible for these heinous acts.\u201d The money came from a \u201cgenerous\u201d donor, he said.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today. As a Mexican and Jewish woman I don\u2019t feel safe going to campus. This is a direct attack. First and foremost I care about the safety of my students.\u201dRead more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013. As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota. Erickson told the two that he owned land there and would set up a transaction between two of his companies.One of the companies he represented while soliciting investments was Northern Plains Holdings, LLC, according to investors and people familiar with the deal. The North Dakota secretary of state\u2019s office told The Daily Beast it did not have record of such a company connected to Erickson. In a complaint filed in a lawsuit in 2015, one of the investors alleged Erickson planned to use a company he controlled to sell undeveloped North Dakota land it owned to a second company Erickson controlled.In an email in November of 2013 to a potential investor for the Bakken deal, Erickson asked for funding for what he called his \u201cnew real estate development venture\u201d in North Dakota. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the work of our development team as together we find new ways to service the office and housing needs of this new American gold rush,\u201d Erickson wrote. In the email, Erickson called his new business the \u201cBakken oil fields\u201d and said it was set up to capitalize on the boom in North Dakota.\u201cDue to your interest in my work and in consideration of past kindness, I would welcome your investment of any amount you choose (up to $100,000),\u201d the email said. Erickson garnered at least $50,000 from the email exchange and did not pay any of it back, according to the judge\u2019s decision on the 2015 case.\u2014 Pervaiz Shallwani contributed to this story.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis said the seized vessels included a Korean drilling rig and the Saudi tug, the Rabigh 3, which was captured by armed Houthi fighters who attacked from two boats.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She\u2019s been through a grueling trial\u2014charged with aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, and child endangerment\u2014and endured a national media circus. But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle. Every night, she told Cosmo, \u201cI would lie down and wish that I could have died in place of Annabelle.\u201d\u201cI wish I would have done it differently,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m plagued by guilt every day for not telling someone.\u201dOhio Cheerleader Found Not Guilty of Murdering Her Newborn BabyRichardson discovered she was pregnant in April 2017, at a gynecologist appointment her mother had arranged to get her birth control.

To this day, she maintains it was a stillbirth. (\u201cI did not hurt, harm, or kill Annabelle,\u201d she told Cosmo.) Panicked, she ran outside and dug a shallow grave in her backyard. She covered it with pink flower petals.Months after, when Richardson finally told a doctor the outcome of the pregnancy, the doctor reported her to authorities for suspected child abuse. Police assigned to the case questioned her for hours, until she admitted to trying to cremate the remains. Later, her defense team would say this confession was coerced, and the prosecution\u2019s own expert witness would also say there was no evidence of burning.But as news of her story spread, people in Richardson\u2019s town and beyond started calling her a monster.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned. Lieutenant\u00a0General Saad al-Allaq, head of Iraq\u2019s Military Intelligence, claimed in an interview with CNN that Iraq has given Ankara\u00a0dossiers on nine alleged\u00a0leaders of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), including top financiers for the terror group. The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen. Allaq, who rarely gives interviews, said Iraq had intelligence that Isil leaders were planning jailbreaks of its supporters held in prisons and camps across Syria and Iraq. Isil members are led away to be questioned by coalition forces after surrendering, near Baghuz, eastern Syria Credit: Sam Tarling\u00a0 Turkey told the US network they were looking into the allegations. He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration. Turkey then announced arrests it had made of Baghdadi\u2019s relatives, who had apparently been hiding in the country.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said. He added that the two nations\u2019 relationship had \u201csuffered setbacks\u201d but remained enduring.Esper also pledged to continue supporting Philippine military upgrades and counter-terrorism efforts and said it was good to clarify the defense treaty to respond to changing times.(Updates with comments from Esper, China\u2019s Foreign Ministry in grafs 5-7)\--With assistance from Peter Martin.To contact the reporters on this story: Andreo Calonzo in Manila at acalonzo1@bloomberg.net;Glen Carey in Manila at gcarey8@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Cecilia Yap at cyap19@bloomberg.net, Muneeza NaqviFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com\u00a92019 Bloomberg L.P.

\"IndianaThousands of red-clad Indiana teachers swarmed the state capitol building on Tuesday, chanting loudly to protest low salaries and evaluation policies and forcing half the state's school districts to cancel classes for the day. \"Indiana legislators drew first blood against public education,\" read one of the signs hoisted by Indiana State Teachers Association demonstrators wearing red hats and sweaters as they stood at the steps of the capitol. In 2018, teachers in Arizona, West Virginia and Oklahoma staged largely successful days-long strikes to demand higher salaries.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

Her eating disorder\u2014which became a fixture of the dramatic coverage around her case\u2014has persisted, and she has also been diagnosed with mild PTSD and severe depression.\u201cI\u2019m still living with a lot of fear,\u201d Richardson told Cosmo. \u201cThe past two years have been nothing short of a nightmare. After being constantly afraid and paranoid of everyone and everything around me, I\u2019m having a hard time letting that go.\u201dRichardson will still have to serve three years on probation for the one charge on which the jury found her guilty\u2014gross abuse of a corpse. Still, she has signed up for paralegal classes at a community college, and says she plans to seek treatment for her eating disorders. She hopes to eventually work for the Ohio Innocence Project.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal.

As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota.

\"WhitePhoto by Brett Carlsen/Getty ImagesThe hate speech and racist harassment at Syracuse University once again boiled over last night. While student protesters participated in the sixth day of a sit-in demanding increased campus safety, others sitting in the library allegedly found that a white-supremacist manifesto had been AirDropped to their cellphones.The university\u2019s Department of Public Safety announced in a campus-wide email early Tuesday morning that it was investigating reports that the hate manifesto, which students told The Daily Beast was the same one used by the Christchurch mosque shooter, was sent to student phones at Bird Library at around 1 a.m. It was also posted in an online discussion forum about Greek life just after 10 p.m., The Daily Orange, the student newspaper, reported.The agency is working with the Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, and the FBI to investigate the quickly escalating situation on campus, but the university\u2019s DPS said there was no \u201cspecific\u201d threat to the school Tuesday, The Daily Orange reported.In response, protesters have asked that the administration cancel classes and campus events.\u201cStudents are scared for their own safety,\u201d tweeted Josh Meyers, a Syracuse student journalist, on Tuesday morning. \u201cCampus is looking extra empty this morning.\u201d\u201cStudents are truly terrified here,\u201d he told The Daily Beast.This marks the 11th racist incident reported on campus since Nov. 6, including the Saturday night harassment of a black student by members of a fraternity who allegedly yelled the n-word at her as she waited for a bus. Others have included anti-Semitic and anti-Asian graffiti in the form of a swastika and slurs. The n-word was also reportedly found scribbled in residence halls and a physics building. In another incident, a student loudly yelled a racial slur against black Americans. Separately, a Chinese freshman reported a racial epithet being used against him.University Chancellor Kent Syverud said in a letter to students and staff Sunday that he was \u201cdeeply angered by these events\u201d and hours later announced a $50,000 reward for any evidence that leads to \u201cthe apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible for these heinous acts.\u201d The money came from a \u201cgenerous\u201d donor, he said.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today. As a Mexican and Jewish woman I don\u2019t feel safe going to campus. This is a direct attack. First and foremost I care about the safety of my students.\u201dRead more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013. As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota. Erickson told the two that he owned land there and would set up a transaction between two of his companies.One of the companies he represented while soliciting investments was Northern Plains Holdings, LLC, according to investors and people familiar with the deal. The North Dakota secretary of state\u2019s office told The Daily Beast it did not have record of such a company connected to Erickson. In a complaint filed in a lawsuit in 2015, one of the investors alleged Erickson planned to use a company he controlled to sell undeveloped North Dakota land it owned to a second company Erickson controlled.In an email in November of 2013 to a potential investor for the Bakken deal, Erickson asked for funding for what he called his \u201cnew real estate development venture\u201d in North Dakota. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the work of our development team as together we find new ways to service the office and housing needs of this new American gold rush,\u201d Erickson wrote. In the email, Erickson called his new business the \u201cBakken oil fields\u201d and said it was set up to capitalize on the boom in North Dakota.\u201cDue to your interest in my work and in consideration of past kindness, I would welcome your investment of any amount you choose (up to $100,000),\u201d the email said. Erickson garnered at least $50,000 from the email exchange and did not pay any of it back, according to the judge\u2019s decision on the 2015 case.\u2014 Pervaiz Shallwani contributed to this story.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis said the seized vessels included a Korean drilling rig and the Saudi tug, the Rabigh 3, which was captured by armed Houthi fighters who attacked from two boats.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She\u2019s been through a grueling trial\u2014charged with aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, and child endangerment\u2014and endured a national media circus. But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle. Every night, she told Cosmo, \u201cI would lie down and wish that I could have died in place of Annabelle.\u201d\u201cI wish I would have done it differently,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m plagued by guilt every day for not telling someone.\u201dOhio Cheerleader Found Not Guilty of Murdering Her Newborn BabyRichardson discovered she was pregnant in April 2017, at a gynecologist appointment her mother had arranged to get her birth control.

To this day, she maintains it was a stillbirth. (\u201cI did not hurt, harm, or kill Annabelle,\u201d she told Cosmo.) Panicked, she ran outside and dug a shallow grave in her backyard. She covered it with pink flower petals.Months after, when Richardson finally told a doctor the outcome of the pregnancy, the doctor reported her to authorities for suspected child abuse. Police assigned to the case questioned her for hours, until she admitted to trying to cremate the remains. Later, her defense team would say this confession was coerced, and the prosecution\u2019s own expert witness would also say there was no evidence of burning.But as news of her story spread, people in Richardson\u2019s town and beyond started calling her a monster.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned. Lieutenant\u00a0General Saad al-Allaq, head of Iraq\u2019s Military Intelligence, claimed in an interview with CNN that Iraq has given Ankara\u00a0dossiers on nine alleged\u00a0leaders of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), including top financiers for the terror group. The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen. Allaq, who rarely gives interviews, said Iraq had intelligence that Isil leaders were planning jailbreaks of its supporters held in prisons and camps across Syria and Iraq. Isil members are led away to be questioned by coalition forces after surrendering, near Baghuz, eastern Syria Credit: Sam Tarling\u00a0 Turkey told the US network they were looking into the allegations. He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration. Turkey then announced arrests it had made of Baghdadi\u2019s relatives, who had apparently been hiding in the country.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said. He added that the two nations\u2019 relationship had \u201csuffered setbacks\u201d but remained enduring.Esper also pledged to continue supporting Philippine military upgrades and counter-terrorism efforts and said it was good to clarify the defense treaty to respond to changing times.(Updates with comments from Esper, China\u2019s Foreign Ministry in grafs 5-7)\--With assistance from Peter Martin.To contact the reporters on this story: Andreo Calonzo in Manila at acalonzo1@bloomberg.net;Glen Carey in Manila at gcarey8@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Cecilia Yap at cyap19@bloomberg.net, Muneeza NaqviFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com\u00a92019 Bloomberg L.P.

\"IndianaThousands of red-clad Indiana teachers swarmed the state capitol building on Tuesday, chanting loudly to protest low salaries and evaluation policies and forcing half the state's school districts to cancel classes for the day. \"Indiana legislators drew first blood against public education,\" read one of the signs hoisted by Indiana State Teachers Association demonstrators wearing red hats and sweaters as they stood at the steps of the capitol. In 2018, teachers in Arizona, West Virginia and Oklahoma staged largely successful days-long strikes to demand higher salaries.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

Her eating disorder\u2014which became a fixture of the dramatic coverage around her case\u2014has persisted, and she has also been diagnosed with mild PTSD and severe depression.\u201cI\u2019m still living with a lot of fear,\u201d Richardson told Cosmo. \u201cThe past two years have been nothing short of a nightmare. After being constantly afraid and paranoid of everyone and everything around me, I\u2019m having a hard time letting that go.\u201dRichardson will still have to serve three years on probation for the one charge on which the jury found her guilty\u2014gross abuse of a corpse. Still, she has signed up for paralegal classes at a community college, and says she plans to seek treatment for her eating disorders. She hopes to eventually work for the Ohio Innocence Project.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal.

As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota.

\"WhitePhoto by Brett Carlsen/Getty ImagesThe hate speech and racist harassment at Syracuse University once again boiled over last night. While student protesters participated in the sixth day of a sit-in demanding increased campus safety, others sitting in the library allegedly found that a white-supremacist manifesto had been AirDropped to their cellphones.The university\u2019s Department of Public Safety announced in a campus-wide email early Tuesday morning that it was investigating reports that the hate manifesto, which students told The Daily Beast was the same one used by the Christchurch mosque shooter, was sent to student phones at Bird Library at around 1 a.m. It was also posted in an online discussion forum about Greek life just after 10 p.m., The Daily Orange, the student newspaper, reported.The agency is working with the Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, and the FBI to investigate the quickly escalating situation on campus, but the university\u2019s DPS said there was no \u201cspecific\u201d threat to the school Tuesday, The Daily Orange reported.In response, protesters have asked that the administration cancel classes and campus events.\u201cStudents are scared for their own safety,\u201d tweeted Josh Meyers, a Syracuse student journalist, on Tuesday morning. \u201cCampus is looking extra empty this morning.\u201d\u201cStudents are truly terrified here,\u201d he told The Daily Beast.This marks the 11th racist incident reported on campus since Nov. 6, including the Saturday night harassment of a black student by members of a fraternity who allegedly yelled the n-word at her as she waited for a bus. Others have included anti-Semitic and anti-Asian graffiti in the form of a swastika and slurs. The n-word was also reportedly found scribbled in residence halls and a physics building. In another incident, a student loudly yelled a racial slur against black Americans. Separately, a Chinese freshman reported a racial epithet being used against him.University Chancellor Kent Syverud said in a letter to students and staff Sunday that he was \u201cdeeply angered by these events\u201d and hours later announced a $50,000 reward for any evidence that leads to \u201cthe apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible for these heinous acts.\u201d The money came from a \u201cgenerous\u201d donor, he said.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today. As a Mexican and Jewish woman I don\u2019t feel safe going to campus. This is a direct attack. First and foremost I care about the safety of my students.\u201dRead more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013. As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota. Erickson told the two that he owned land there and would set up a transaction between two of his companies.One of the companies he represented while soliciting investments was Northern Plains Holdings, LLC, according to investors and people familiar with the deal. The North Dakota secretary of state\u2019s office told The Daily Beast it did not have record of such a company connected to Erickson. In a complaint filed in a lawsuit in 2015, one of the investors alleged Erickson planned to use a company he controlled to sell undeveloped North Dakota land it owned to a second company Erickson controlled.In an email in November of 2013 to a potential investor for the Bakken deal, Erickson asked for funding for what he called his \u201cnew real estate development venture\u201d in North Dakota. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the work of our development team as together we find new ways to service the office and housing needs of this new American gold rush,\u201d Erickson wrote. In the email, Erickson called his new business the \u201cBakken oil fields\u201d and said it was set up to capitalize on the boom in North Dakota.\u201cDue to your interest in my work and in consideration of past kindness, I would welcome your investment of any amount you choose (up to $100,000),\u201d the email said. Erickson garnered at least $50,000 from the email exchange and did not pay any of it back, according to the judge\u2019s decision on the 2015 case.\u2014 Pervaiz Shallwani contributed to this story.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis said the seized vessels included a Korean drilling rig and the Saudi tug, the Rabigh 3, which was captured by armed Houthi fighters who attacked from two boats.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She\u2019s been through a grueling trial\u2014charged with aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, and child endangerment\u2014and endured a national media circus. But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle. Every night, she told Cosmo, \u201cI would lie down and wish that I could have died in place of Annabelle.\u201d\u201cI wish I would have done it differently,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m plagued by guilt every day for not telling someone.\u201dOhio Cheerleader Found Not Guilty of Murdering Her Newborn BabyRichardson discovered she was pregnant in April 2017, at a gynecologist appointment her mother had arranged to get her birth control.

To this day, she maintains it was a stillbirth. (\u201cI did not hurt, harm, or kill Annabelle,\u201d she told Cosmo.) Panicked, she ran outside and dug a shallow grave in her backyard. She covered it with pink flower petals.Months after, when Richardson finally told a doctor the outcome of the pregnancy, the doctor reported her to authorities for suspected child abuse. Police assigned to the case questioned her for hours, until she admitted to trying to cremate the remains. Later, her defense team would say this confession was coerced, and the prosecution\u2019s own expert witness would also say there was no evidence of burning.But as news of her story spread, people in Richardson\u2019s town and beyond started calling her a monster.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned. Lieutenant\u00a0General Saad al-Allaq, head of Iraq\u2019s Military Intelligence, claimed in an interview with CNN that Iraq has given Ankara\u00a0dossiers on nine alleged\u00a0leaders of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), including top financiers for the terror group. The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen. Allaq, who rarely gives interviews, said Iraq had intelligence that Isil leaders were planning jailbreaks of its supporters held in prisons and camps across Syria and Iraq. Isil members are led away to be questioned by coalition forces after surrendering, near Baghuz, eastern Syria Credit: Sam Tarling\u00a0 Turkey told the US network they were looking into the allegations. He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration. Turkey then announced arrests it had made of Baghdadi\u2019s relatives, who had apparently been hiding in the country.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said. He added that the two nations\u2019 relationship had \u201csuffered setbacks\u201d but remained enduring.Esper also pledged to continue supporting Philippine military upgrades and counter-terrorism efforts and said it was good to clarify the defense treaty to respond to changing times.(Updates with comments from Esper, China\u2019s Foreign Ministry in grafs 5-7)\--With assistance from Peter Martin.To contact the reporters on this story: Andreo Calonzo in Manila at acalonzo1@bloomberg.net;Glen Carey in Manila at gcarey8@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Cecilia Yap at cyap19@bloomberg.net, Muneeza NaqviFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com\u00a92019 Bloomberg L.P.

\"IndianaThousands of red-clad Indiana teachers swarmed the state capitol building on Tuesday, chanting loudly to protest low salaries and evaluation policies and forcing half the state's school districts to cancel classes for the day. \"Indiana legislators drew first blood against public education,\" read one of the signs hoisted by Indiana State Teachers Association demonstrators wearing red hats and sweaters as they stood at the steps of the capitol. In 2018, teachers in Arizona, West Virginia and Oklahoma staged largely successful days-long strikes to demand higher salaries.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

Her eating disorder\u2014which became a fixture of the dramatic coverage around her case\u2014has persisted, and she has also been diagnosed with mild PTSD and severe depression.\u201cI\u2019m still living with a lot of fear,\u201d Richardson told Cosmo. \u201cThe past two years have been nothing short of a nightmare. After being constantly afraid and paranoid of everyone and everything around me, I\u2019m having a hard time letting that go.\u201dRichardson will still have to serve three years on probation for the one charge on which the jury found her guilty\u2014gross abuse of a corpse. Still, she has signed up for paralegal classes at a community college, and says she plans to seek treatment for her eating disorders. She hopes to eventually work for the Ohio Innocence Project.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal.

As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota.

\"WhitePhoto by Brett Carlsen/Getty ImagesThe hate speech and racist harassment at Syracuse University once again boiled over last night. While student protesters participated in the sixth day of a sit-in demanding increased campus safety, others sitting in the library allegedly found that a white-supremacist manifesto had been AirDropped to their cellphones.The university\u2019s Department of Public Safety announced in a campus-wide email early Tuesday morning that it was investigating reports that the hate manifesto, which students told The Daily Beast was the same one used by the Christchurch mosque shooter, was sent to student phones at Bird Library at around 1 a.m. It was also posted in an online discussion forum about Greek life just after 10 p.m., The Daily Orange, the student newspaper, reported.The agency is working with the Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, and the FBI to investigate the quickly escalating situation on campus, but the university\u2019s DPS said there was no \u201cspecific\u201d threat to the school Tuesday, The Daily Orange reported.In response, protesters have asked that the administration cancel classes and campus events.\u201cStudents are scared for their own safety,\u201d tweeted Josh Meyers, a Syracuse student journalist, on Tuesday morning. \u201cCampus is looking extra empty this morning.\u201d\u201cStudents are truly terrified here,\u201d he told The Daily Beast.This marks the 11th racist incident reported on campus since Nov. 6, including the Saturday night harassment of a black student by members of a fraternity who allegedly yelled the n-word at her as she waited for a bus. Others have included anti-Semitic and anti-Asian graffiti in the form of a swastika and slurs. The n-word was also reportedly found scribbled in residence halls and a physics building. In another incident, a student loudly yelled a racial slur against black Americans. Separately, a Chinese freshman reported a racial epithet being used against him.University Chancellor Kent Syverud said in a letter to students and staff Sunday that he was \u201cdeeply angered by these events\u201d and hours later announced a $50,000 reward for any evidence that leads to \u201cthe apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible for these heinous acts.\u201d The money came from a \u201cgenerous\u201d donor, he said.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today. As a Mexican and Jewish woman I don\u2019t feel safe going to campus. This is a direct attack. First and foremost I care about the safety of my students.\u201dRead more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013. As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota. Erickson told the two that he owned land there and would set up a transaction between two of his companies.One of the companies he represented while soliciting investments was Northern Plains Holdings, LLC, according to investors and people familiar with the deal. The North Dakota secretary of state\u2019s office told The Daily Beast it did not have record of such a company connected to Erickson. In a complaint filed in a lawsuit in 2015, one of the investors alleged Erickson planned to use a company he controlled to sell undeveloped North Dakota land it owned to a second company Erickson controlled.In an email in November of 2013 to a potential investor for the Bakken deal, Erickson asked for funding for what he called his \u201cnew real estate development venture\u201d in North Dakota. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the work of our development team as together we find new ways to service the office and housing needs of this new American gold rush,\u201d Erickson wrote. In the email, Erickson called his new business the \u201cBakken oil fields\u201d and said it was set up to capitalize on the boom in North Dakota.\u201cDue to your interest in my work and in consideration of past kindness, I would welcome your investment of any amount you choose (up to $100,000),\u201d the email said. Erickson garnered at least $50,000 from the email exchange and did not pay any of it back, according to the judge\u2019s decision on the 2015 case.\u2014 Pervaiz Shallwani contributed to this story.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis said the seized vessels included a Korean drilling rig and the Saudi tug, the Rabigh 3, which was captured by armed Houthi fighters who attacked from two boats.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She\u2019s been through a grueling trial\u2014charged with aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, and child endangerment\u2014and endured a national media circus. But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle. Every night, she told Cosmo, \u201cI would lie down and wish that I could have died in place of Annabelle.\u201d\u201cI wish I would have done it differently,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m plagued by guilt every day for not telling someone.\u201dOhio Cheerleader Found Not Guilty of Murdering Her Newborn BabyRichardson discovered she was pregnant in April 2017, at a gynecologist appointment her mother had arranged to get her birth control.

To this day, she maintains it was a stillbirth. (\u201cI did not hurt, harm, or kill Annabelle,\u201d she told Cosmo.) Panicked, she ran outside and dug a shallow grave in her backyard. She covered it with pink flower petals.Months after, when Richardson finally told a doctor the outcome of the pregnancy, the doctor reported her to authorities for suspected child abuse. Police assigned to the case questioned her for hours, until she admitted to trying to cremate the remains. Later, her defense team would say this confession was coerced, and the prosecution\u2019s own expert witness would also say there was no evidence of burning.But as news of her story spread, people in Richardson\u2019s town and beyond started calling her a monster.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned. Lieutenant\u00a0General Saad al-Allaq, head of Iraq\u2019s Military Intelligence, claimed in an interview with CNN that Iraq has given Ankara\u00a0dossiers on nine alleged\u00a0leaders of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), including top financiers for the terror group. The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen. Allaq, who rarely gives interviews, said Iraq had intelligence that Isil leaders were planning jailbreaks of its supporters held in prisons and camps across Syria and Iraq. Isil members are led away to be questioned by coalition forces after surrendering, near Baghuz, eastern Syria Credit: Sam Tarling\u00a0 Turkey told the US network they were looking into the allegations. He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration. Turkey then announced arrests it had made of Baghdadi\u2019s relatives, who had apparently been hiding in the country.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said. He added that the two nations\u2019 relationship had \u201csuffered setbacks\u201d but remained enduring.Esper also pledged to continue supporting Philippine military upgrades and counter-terrorism efforts and said it was good to clarify the defense treaty to respond to changing times.(Updates with comments from Esper, China\u2019s Foreign Ministry in grafs 5-7)\--With assistance from Peter Martin.To contact the reporters on this story: Andreo Calonzo in Manila at acalonzo1@bloomberg.net;Glen Carey in Manila at gcarey8@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Cecilia Yap at cyap19@bloomberg.net, Muneeza NaqviFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com\u00a92019 Bloomberg L.P.

\"IndianaThousands of red-clad Indiana teachers swarmed the state capitol building on Tuesday, chanting loudly to protest low salaries and evaluation policies and forcing half the state's school districts to cancel classes for the day. \"Indiana legislators drew first blood against public education,\" read one of the signs hoisted by Indiana State Teachers Association demonstrators wearing red hats and sweaters as they stood at the steps of the capitol. In 2018, teachers in Arizona, West Virginia and Oklahoma staged largely successful days-long strikes to demand higher salaries.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

Her eating disorder\u2014which became a fixture of the dramatic coverage around her case\u2014has persisted, and she has also been diagnosed with mild PTSD and severe depression.\u201cI\u2019m still living with a lot of fear,\u201d Richardson told Cosmo. \u201cThe past two years have been nothing short of a nightmare. After being constantly afraid and paranoid of everyone and everything around me, I\u2019m having a hard time letting that go.\u201dRichardson will still have to serve three years on probation for the one charge on which the jury found her guilty\u2014gross abuse of a corpse. Still, she has signed up for paralegal classes at a community college, and says she plans to seek treatment for her eating disorders. She hopes to eventually work for the Ohio Innocence Project.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal.

As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota.

\"WhitePhoto by Brett Carlsen/Getty ImagesThe hate speech and racist harassment at Syracuse University once again boiled over last night. While student protesters participated in the sixth day of a sit-in demanding increased campus safety, others sitting in the library allegedly found that a white-supremacist manifesto had been AirDropped to their cellphones.The university\u2019s Department of Public Safety announced in a campus-wide email early Tuesday morning that it was investigating reports that the hate manifesto, which students told The Daily Beast was the same one used by the Christchurch mosque shooter, was sent to student phones at Bird Library at around 1 a.m. It was also posted in an online discussion forum about Greek life just after 10 p.m., The Daily Orange, the student newspaper, reported.The agency is working with the Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, and the FBI to investigate the quickly escalating situation on campus, but the university\u2019s DPS said there was no \u201cspecific\u201d threat to the school Tuesday, The Daily Orange reported.In response, protesters have asked that the administration cancel classes and campus events.\u201cStudents are scared for their own safety,\u201d tweeted Josh Meyers, a Syracuse student journalist, on Tuesday morning. \u201cCampus is looking extra empty this morning.\u201d\u201cStudents are truly terrified here,\u201d he told The Daily Beast.This marks the 11th racist incident reported on campus since Nov. 6, including the Saturday night harassment of a black student by members of a fraternity who allegedly yelled the n-word at her as she waited for a bus. Others have included anti-Semitic and anti-Asian graffiti in the form of a swastika and slurs. The n-word was also reportedly found scribbled in residence halls and a physics building. In another incident, a student loudly yelled a racial slur against black Americans. Separately, a Chinese freshman reported a racial epithet being used against him.University Chancellor Kent Syverud said in a letter to students and staff Sunday that he was \u201cdeeply angered by these events\u201d and hours later announced a $50,000 reward for any evidence that leads to \u201cthe apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible for these heinous acts.\u201d The money came from a \u201cgenerous\u201d donor, he said.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today. As a Mexican and Jewish woman I don\u2019t feel safe going to campus. This is a direct attack. First and foremost I care about the safety of my students.\u201dRead more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013. As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota. Erickson told the two that he owned land there and would set up a transaction between two of his companies.One of the companies he represented while soliciting investments was Northern Plains Holdings, LLC, according to investors and people familiar with the deal. The North Dakota secretary of state\u2019s office told The Daily Beast it did not have record of such a company connected to Erickson. In a complaint filed in a lawsuit in 2015, one of the investors alleged Erickson planned to use a company he controlled to sell undeveloped North Dakota land it owned to a second company Erickson controlled.In an email in November of 2013 to a potential investor for the Bakken deal, Erickson asked for funding for what he called his \u201cnew real estate development venture\u201d in North Dakota. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the work of our development team as together we find new ways to service the office and housing needs of this new American gold rush,\u201d Erickson wrote. In the email, Erickson called his new business the \u201cBakken oil fields\u201d and said it was set up to capitalize on the boom in North Dakota.\u201cDue to your interest in my work and in consideration of past kindness, I would welcome your investment of any amount you choose (up to $100,000),\u201d the email said. Erickson garnered at least $50,000 from the email exchange and did not pay any of it back, according to the judge\u2019s decision on the 2015 case.\u2014 Pervaiz Shallwani contributed to this story.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis said the seized vessels included a Korean drilling rig and the Saudi tug, the Rabigh 3, which was captured by armed Houthi fighters who attacked from two boats.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She\u2019s been through a grueling trial\u2014charged with aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, and child endangerment\u2014and endured a national media circus. But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle. Every night, she told Cosmo, \u201cI would lie down and wish that I could have died in place of Annabelle.\u201d\u201cI wish I would have done it differently,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m plagued by guilt every day for not telling someone.\u201dOhio Cheerleader Found Not Guilty of Murdering Her Newborn BabyRichardson discovered she was pregnant in April 2017, at a gynecologist appointment her mother had arranged to get her birth control.

To this day, she maintains it was a stillbirth. (\u201cI did not hurt, harm, or kill Annabelle,\u201d she told Cosmo.) Panicked, she ran outside and dug a shallow grave in her backyard. She covered it with pink flower petals.Months after, when Richardson finally told a doctor the outcome of the pregnancy, the doctor reported her to authorities for suspected child abuse. Police assigned to the case questioned her for hours, until she admitted to trying to cremate the remains. Later, her defense team would say this confession was coerced, and the prosecution\u2019s own expert witness would also say there was no evidence of burning.But as news of her story spread, people in Richardson\u2019s town and beyond started calling her a monster.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned. Lieutenant\u00a0General Saad al-Allaq, head of Iraq\u2019s Military Intelligence, claimed in an interview with CNN that Iraq has given Ankara\u00a0dossiers on nine alleged\u00a0leaders of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), including top financiers for the terror group. The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen. Allaq, who rarely gives interviews, said Iraq had intelligence that Isil leaders were planning jailbreaks of its supporters held in prisons and camps across Syria and Iraq. Isil members are led away to be questioned by coalition forces after surrendering, near Baghuz, eastern Syria Credit: Sam Tarling\u00a0 Turkey told the US network they were looking into the allegations. He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration. Turkey then announced arrests it had made of Baghdadi\u2019s relatives, who had apparently been hiding in the country.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said. He added that the two nations\u2019 relationship had \u201csuffered setbacks\u201d but remained enduring.Esper also pledged to continue supporting Philippine military upgrades and counter-terrorism efforts and said it was good to clarify the defense treaty to respond to changing times.(Updates with comments from Esper, China\u2019s Foreign Ministry in grafs 5-7)\--With assistance from Peter Martin.To contact the reporters on this story: Andreo Calonzo in Manila at acalonzo1@bloomberg.net;Glen Carey in Manila at gcarey8@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Cecilia Yap at cyap19@bloomberg.net, Muneeza NaqviFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com\u00a92019 Bloomberg L.P.

\"IndianaThousands of red-clad Indiana teachers swarmed the state capitol building on Tuesday, chanting loudly to protest low salaries and evaluation policies and forcing half the state's school districts to cancel classes for the day. \"Indiana legislators drew first blood against public education,\" read one of the signs hoisted by Indiana State Teachers Association demonstrators wearing red hats and sweaters as they stood at the steps of the capitol. In 2018, teachers in Arizona, West Virginia and Oklahoma staged largely successful days-long strikes to demand higher salaries.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

Her eating disorder\u2014which became a fixture of the dramatic coverage around her case\u2014has persisted, and she has also been diagnosed with mild PTSD and severe depression.\u201cI\u2019m still living with a lot of fear,\u201d Richardson told Cosmo. \u201cThe past two years have been nothing short of a nightmare. After being constantly afraid and paranoid of everyone and everything around me, I\u2019m having a hard time letting that go.\u201dRichardson will still have to serve three years on probation for the one charge on which the jury found her guilty\u2014gross abuse of a corpse. Still, she has signed up for paralegal classes at a community college, and says she plans to seek treatment for her eating disorders. She hopes to eventually work for the Ohio Innocence Project.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal.

As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota.

\"WhitePhoto by Brett Carlsen/Getty ImagesThe hate speech and racist harassment at Syracuse University once again boiled over last night. While student protesters participated in the sixth day of a sit-in demanding increased campus safety, others sitting in the library allegedly found that a white-supremacist manifesto had been AirDropped to their cellphones.The university\u2019s Department of Public Safety announced in a campus-wide email early Tuesday morning that it was investigating reports that the hate manifesto, which students told The Daily Beast was the same one used by the Christchurch mosque shooter, was sent to student phones at Bird Library at around 1 a.m. It was also posted in an online discussion forum about Greek life just after 10 p.m., The Daily Orange, the student newspaper, reported.The agency is working with the Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, and the FBI to investigate the quickly escalating situation on campus, but the university\u2019s DPS said there was no \u201cspecific\u201d threat to the school Tuesday, The Daily Orange reported.In response, protesters have asked that the administration cancel classes and campus events.\u201cStudents are scared for their own safety,\u201d tweeted Josh Meyers, a Syracuse student journalist, on Tuesday morning. \u201cCampus is looking extra empty this morning.\u201d\u201cStudents are truly terrified here,\u201d he told The Daily Beast.This marks the 11th racist incident reported on campus since Nov. 6, including the Saturday night harassment of a black student by members of a fraternity who allegedly yelled the n-word at her as she waited for a bus. Others have included anti-Semitic and anti-Asian graffiti in the form of a swastika and slurs. The n-word was also reportedly found scribbled in residence halls and a physics building. In another incident, a student loudly yelled a racial slur against black Americans. Separately, a Chinese freshman reported a racial epithet being used against him.University Chancellor Kent Syverud said in a letter to students and staff Sunday that he was \u201cdeeply angered by these events\u201d and hours later announced a $50,000 reward for any evidence that leads to \u201cthe apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible for these heinous acts.\u201d The money came from a \u201cgenerous\u201d donor, he said.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today. As a Mexican and Jewish woman I don\u2019t feel safe going to campus. This is a direct attack. First and foremost I care about the safety of my students.\u201dRead more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013. As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota. Erickson told the two that he owned land there and would set up a transaction between two of his companies.One of the companies he represented while soliciting investments was Northern Plains Holdings, LLC, according to investors and people familiar with the deal. The North Dakota secretary of state\u2019s office told The Daily Beast it did not have record of such a company connected to Erickson. In a complaint filed in a lawsuit in 2015, one of the investors alleged Erickson planned to use a company he controlled to sell undeveloped North Dakota land it owned to a second company Erickson controlled.In an email in November of 2013 to a potential investor for the Bakken deal, Erickson asked for funding for what he called his \u201cnew real estate development venture\u201d in North Dakota. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the work of our development team as together we find new ways to service the office and housing needs of this new American gold rush,\u201d Erickson wrote. In the email, Erickson called his new business the \u201cBakken oil fields\u201d and said it was set up to capitalize on the boom in North Dakota.\u201cDue to your interest in my work and in consideration of past kindness, I would welcome your investment of any amount you choose (up to $100,000),\u201d the email said. Erickson garnered at least $50,000 from the email exchange and did not pay any of it back, according to the judge\u2019s decision on the 2015 case.\u2014 Pervaiz Shallwani contributed to this story.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis said the seized vessels included a Korean drilling rig and the Saudi tug, the Rabigh 3, which was captured by armed Houthi fighters who attacked from two boats.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She\u2019s been through a grueling trial\u2014charged with aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, and child endangerment\u2014and endured a national media circus. But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle. Every night, she told Cosmo, \u201cI would lie down and wish that I could have died in place of Annabelle.\u201d\u201cI wish I would have done it differently,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m plagued by guilt every day for not telling someone.\u201dOhio Cheerleader Found Not Guilty of Murdering Her Newborn BabyRichardson discovered she was pregnant in April 2017, at a gynecologist appointment her mother had arranged to get her birth control.

To this day, she maintains it was a stillbirth. (\u201cI did not hurt, harm, or kill Annabelle,\u201d she told Cosmo.) Panicked, she ran outside and dug a shallow grave in her backyard. She covered it with pink flower petals.Months after, when Richardson finally told a doctor the outcome of the pregnancy, the doctor reported her to authorities for suspected child abuse. Police assigned to the case questioned her for hours, until she admitted to trying to cremate the remains. Later, her defense team would say this confession was coerced, and the prosecution\u2019s own expert witness would also say there was no evidence of burning.But as news of her story spread, people in Richardson\u2019s town and beyond started calling her a monster.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned. Lieutenant\u00a0General Saad al-Allaq, head of Iraq\u2019s Military Intelligence, claimed in an interview with CNN that Iraq has given Ankara\u00a0dossiers on nine alleged\u00a0leaders of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), including top financiers for the terror group. The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen. Allaq, who rarely gives interviews, said Iraq had intelligence that Isil leaders were planning jailbreaks of its supporters held in prisons and camps across Syria and Iraq. Isil members are led away to be questioned by coalition forces after surrendering, near Baghuz, eastern Syria Credit: Sam Tarling\u00a0 Turkey told the US network they were looking into the allegations. He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration. Turkey then announced arrests it had made of Baghdadi\u2019s relatives, who had apparently been hiding in the country.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said.

\"U.S.(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is conducting more patrols in the South China Sea to send a signal to China that it intends to maintain freedom in the area that\u2019s crucial for global trade, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday.Esper said at a media briefing in Manila the U.S. \u201crejects attempts by any nation to use coercion or intimidation to advance international interests at the expense of others.\u201dHe also urged nations with South China Sea claims to take a public position and assert sovereign rights to get China \u201con the right path.\u201d\u201cThe clear signal we\u2019re trying to send is not that we\u2019re opposing China per se, but we all stand for international law, and that we think China should abide by them as well,\u201d Esper said.Esper said the U.S. has conducted \u201cmore freedom of navigation operations in the past year or so than we did have in the past 20-plus years.\u201dWhile Esper didn\u2019t elaborate, the U.S. has confirmed at least five so-called freedom of navigation operations to challenge excessive maritime claims in the Spratly and Paracel island chains, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That\u2019s the same number that were publicly reported in 2018.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang hit back at a separate briefing in Beijing, saying the U.S. has long sought to \u201cfan the flames\u201d and create \u201cchaos in the South China Sea.\u201d Geng added that China was working with regional countries to ensure stability and urged the U.S. to stop acting as a \u201cdisruptor.\u201dIn Manila Esper also said the U.S. remains committed to the 68-year-old defense treaty that binds it to come to the Philippines\u2019 aid in case of an armed attack on its territory. The treaty applies to the South China Sea, he added.The Philippines is discussing with the U.S. how the defense treaty can be made clearer, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said. He added that the two nations\u2019 relationship had \u201csuffered setbacks\u201d but remained enduring.Esper also pledged to continue supporting Philippine military upgrades and counter-terrorism efforts and said it was good to clarify the defense treaty to respond to changing times.(Updates with comments from Esper, China\u2019s Foreign Ministry in grafs 5-7)\--With assistance from Peter Martin.To contact the reporters on this story: Andreo Calonzo in Manila at acalonzo1@bloomberg.net;Glen Carey in Manila at gcarey8@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Cecilia Yap at cyap19@bloomberg.net, Muneeza NaqviFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com\u00a92019 Bloomberg L.P.

\"IndianaThousands of red-clad Indiana teachers swarmed the state capitol building on Tuesday, chanting loudly to protest low salaries and evaluation policies and forcing half the state's school districts to cancel classes for the day. \"Indiana legislators drew first blood against public education,\" read one of the signs hoisted by Indiana State Teachers Association demonstrators wearing red hats and sweaters as they stood at the steps of the capitol. In 2018, teachers in Arizona, West Virginia and Oklahoma staged largely successful days-long strikes to demand higher salaries.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

Her eating disorder\u2014which became a fixture of the dramatic coverage around her case\u2014has persisted, and she has also been diagnosed with mild PTSD and severe depression.\u201cI\u2019m still living with a lot of fear,\u201d Richardson told Cosmo. \u201cThe past two years have been nothing short of a nightmare. After being constantly afraid and paranoid of everyone and everything around me, I\u2019m having a hard time letting that go.\u201dRichardson will still have to serve three years on probation for the one charge on which the jury found her guilty\u2014gross abuse of a corpse. Still, she has signed up for paralegal classes at a community college, and says she plans to seek treatment for her eating disorders. She hopes to eventually work for the Ohio Innocence Project.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal.

As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota.

\"WhitePhoto by Brett Carlsen/Getty ImagesThe hate speech and racist harassment at Syracuse University once again boiled over last night. While student protesters participated in the sixth day of a sit-in demanding increased campus safety, others sitting in the library allegedly found that a white-supremacist manifesto had been AirDropped to their cellphones.The university\u2019s Department of Public Safety announced in a campus-wide email early Tuesday morning that it was investigating reports that the hate manifesto, which students told The Daily Beast was the same one used by the Christchurch mosque shooter, was sent to student phones at Bird Library at around 1 a.m. It was also posted in an online discussion forum about Greek life just after 10 p.m., The Daily Orange, the student newspaper, reported.The agency is working with the Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, and the FBI to investigate the quickly escalating situation on campus, but the university\u2019s DPS said there was no \u201cspecific\u201d threat to the school Tuesday, The Daily Orange reported.In response, protesters have asked that the administration cancel classes and campus events.\u201cStudents are scared for their own safety,\u201d tweeted Josh Meyers, a Syracuse student journalist, on Tuesday morning. \u201cCampus is looking extra empty this morning.\u201d\u201cStudents are truly terrified here,\u201d he told The Daily Beast.This marks the 11th racist incident reported on campus since Nov. 6, including the Saturday night harassment of a black student by members of a fraternity who allegedly yelled the n-word at her as she waited for a bus. Others have included anti-Semitic and anti-Asian graffiti in the form of a swastika and slurs. The n-word was also reportedly found scribbled in residence halls and a physics building. In another incident, a student loudly yelled a racial slur against black Americans. Separately, a Chinese freshman reported a racial epithet being used against him.University Chancellor Kent Syverud said in a letter to students and staff Sunday that he was \u201cdeeply angered by these events\u201d and hours later announced a $50,000 reward for any evidence that leads to \u201cthe apprehension of the individual or individuals responsible for these heinous acts.\u201d The money came from a \u201cgenerous\u201d donor, he said.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today.

Andrew Cuomo has ordered state agencies to investigate hate speech on the upstate school\u2019s campus.After it became clear that one of the hate incidents originated from a fraternity on campus, Syverud suspended Alpha Chi Rho and\u2014in one fell swoop\u2014directed the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to suspend all social activities of fraternities for the remainder of the semester.\u201cWhile only one fraternity may have been involved in this particular incident, given recent history, all fraternities must come together with the university community to reflect upon how to prevent recurrence of such seriously troubling behavior,\u201d Syverud said.The campus sit-in has been staged by black students leading a movement called NotAgainSU, which also organized a boycott of Syracuse basketball games. The sit-in began last Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., and dozens of students have joined the effort inside the school\u2019s Barnes Center at The Arch\u2014a brand-new $50 million recreational complex. Participants have been holding signs that read \u201cBlack Safety Matters\u201d and sharing their frustration on social media.Early Tuesday morning, demonstrators asked the administration to cancel all classes and campus events until further notice.\u00a0\u201cThese active threats targeting students should be taken seriously and handled with a sense of urgency,\u201d said a statement from the group on Tuesday. \u201cWe believe that students should stay in spaces where they feel the most comfortable, as safety is paramount.\u201dThe demonstrators have vowed not to end the protest until all of their demands\u2014including the expulsion of students involved in what they\u2019ve called the \u201cNovember Hate Crimes\u201d\u2014are met.\u00a0\u201cThe safety of students on this campus\u2014specifically the safety of underrepresented and underserved students\u2014is paramount,\u201d the group said Monday in a press release.\u201cI\u2019ve never felt less safe on campus than I do right now,\u201d said Claire Bauerle, an 18-year-old Syracuse freshman. Bauerle told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she, a white student, wants students of color to know they are supported.\u201cPeople aren\u2019t involved just to be involved,\u201d the Chicago native said.\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d Bauerle added, emphasizing that students are afraid that it will escalate into a shooting. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real. It\u2019s like walking through an awful nightmare.\u201d\u201cWhether or not tonight\u2019s threat is credible, it\u2019s tremendously irresponsible if Syracuse doesn\u2019t cancel classes,\u201d broadcast journalism major Sam Gelfand\u2014a native of Parkland, Fla.\u2014 tweeted just after 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u201cPeople on this campus, myself included, are shaken, frightened, and fatigued. This is no environment for academics right now. Just let people go home,\u201d he added.Gelfand, a sophomore, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that he was \u201cdown the street from the Stoneman Douglas shooting while it occurred\u201d\u2014when 17 people died in one of the nation\u2019s most harrowing school shootings in February 2018\u2014and that while on campus at Syracuse today he found himself \u201cdrawing parallels.\u201d\u201cI was terrified last night,\u201d Gelfand, who is Jewish, said. \u201cThese hateful incidents have consumed our lives; it\u2019s all we can talk about.\u201dThe \u201clackluster response\u201d from the administration and the DPS is, Gelfand added, \u201cinexcusable.\u201dProfessors, meanwhile, were not immune to the campus tension. Several tweeted that they had either canceled classes or would not penalize students who chose not to attend Tuesday.\u201cI will support and advocate for any students who choose not to go to class today,\u201d Prof. Genevieve Garc\u00eda de M\u00fceller tweeted. \u201cI support the students protesting and I urge the chancellor to uptake their demands in a serious and systemic way.\u201dShe added: \u201cMost of my students have said they are not going to campus today. As a Mexican and Jewish woman I don\u2019t feel safe going to campus. This is a direct attack. First and foremost I care about the safety of my students.\u201dRead more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home.

But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle.

The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013. As The Daily Beast previously reported, the duo dressed up as Rasputin to Butina\u2019s flame-haired Empress Alexandra during a 2016 birthday party. The over-the-top gathering included an ice sculpture of a bottle imprinted with the Soviet hammer and sickle from which vodka flowed.The couple, who at one point lived together in South Dakota, had some kind of business together. The two were listed as the sole officers of Bridges LLC, a company registered in the state in February 2016, though it\u2019s unclear what the company did or how it operated.Erickson was indicted in February on allegations that he ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 in which he was accused of using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care.\u00a0Prosecutors alleged that Erickson also defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be \u201cin the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.\u201d\u00a0The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.Maria Butina\u2019s Beau Snookered Investors With a Shady Oil DealAs first reported by The Daily Beast in July, several people have sued Erickson in California, Virginia, and South Dakota, claiming he misrepresented himself and his businesses and failed to pay investors back.The Daily Beast was first to unveil Erickson\u2019s business scheme in North Dakota where he knowingly misled investors about owning a company there, according to a 2015 judgement filed in a California court. Two individuals who Erickson approached told The Daily Beast that he swindled them into investing in a land deal he had set up near Williston, North Dakota. Erickson told the two that he owned land there and would set up a transaction between two of his companies.One of the companies he represented while soliciting investments was Northern Plains Holdings, LLC, according to investors and people familiar with the deal. The North Dakota secretary of state\u2019s office told The Daily Beast it did not have record of such a company connected to Erickson. In a complaint filed in a lawsuit in 2015, one of the investors alleged Erickson planned to use a company he controlled to sell undeveloped North Dakota land it owned to a second company Erickson controlled.In an email in November of 2013 to a potential investor for the Bakken deal, Erickson asked for funding for what he called his \u201cnew real estate development venture\u201d in North Dakota. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the work of our development team as together we find new ways to service the office and housing needs of this new American gold rush,\u201d Erickson wrote. In the email, Erickson called his new business the \u201cBakken oil fields\u201d and said it was set up to capitalize on the boom in North Dakota.\u201cDue to your interest in my work and in consideration of past kindness, I would welcome your investment of any amount you choose (up to $100,000),\u201d the email said. Erickson garnered at least $50,000 from the email exchange and did not pay any of it back, according to the judge\u2019s decision on the 2015 case.\u2014 Pervaiz Shallwani contributed to this story.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis said the seized vessels included a Korean drilling rig and the Saudi tug, the Rabigh 3, which was captured by armed Houthi fighters who attacked from two boats.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs.

\"JodieTwo drug dealing teenagers have been jailed for life for the "callous and casual" murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney, who was stabbed to death in an east London park. County lines dealer Svenson Ong-a-Kwie, 19, and his 17-year-old apprentice,\u00a0Arron Isaacs had been looking to take revenge on rivals when they killed Jodie by mistake, the Old Bailey heard. The popular 17-year-old student had been relaxing with friends in Amy's Park in Harold Hill, east London, on the evening of March 1 when two shadowy figures emerged from the dark and one knifed her in the back. She screamed and collapsed in the arms of her boyfriend, Eddie Coyle, 18, as her attackers made off in a fellow drug dealer's car. Days later, they were arrested together as they fled from the rear of a house connected with the youth. The defendants denied Jodie's murder, each blaming the other for inflicting the fatal wound. But prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors that both were responsible for the killing, amid incidents of "casual violence" in the drug-dealing world. The jury deliberated for less than six hours to find them guilty last week of Jodie's murder. Jodie Chesney Judge Wendy Joseph QC handed Ong-a-Kwie a life sentence with a minimum of 26 years. She sentenced Isaacs to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure for at least 18 years. She said that Jodie's death led to a "world of anguish" for her family, which came amid "tit for tat" incidents. Jodie was the victim of "callous, casual and irresponsible violence" which had shocked the community "to the core", she said. On the evidence, she found Ong-a-Kwie was the stabber and the 17-year-old his "enthusiastic supporter". Isaacs was initially shielded by anonymity, but\u00a0now he can be named after the judge lifted\u00a0reporting restrictions. In doing so, she said: "What is important is that a blameless girl is dead at the hands of those engaged in and those that associate with drug dealing on the streets which Jodie and other blameless young people must live. "This death has brought great unease in the community. Those suffering, which spreads much further than Jodie's friends and family, need and have a right to known and understand how this has come about." The judge lamented the impact of criminals that had "carved up areas of the capital of this country". She added: "The dangers this brings to decent law-abiding members of the public is graphically spelled out in this case." The court heard moving tributes to Jodie and the "ripple effect" her murder had among friends, family and the wider community. Mr Coyle has been left with post-traumatic stress from witnessing her murder. Svenson Ong-a-Kwie was a county lines drug dealer Credit: PA He said: "Jodie was funny, silly, she always made fun of me and she had a bright future ahead of her. She was full of energy and was always out doing something. We had been going out for three months. "I've never lost anyone before and for the first funeral I've gone to to be my own girlfriend's is incredibly hard. I loved her." Jodie's father, Peter Chesney, who gave up a job in the City, said: "I have lost the most precious human being I will ever know. I have no idea how I'm going to continue my life or come to terms with the loss." Her sister, Lucy, said: "Jodie will be greatly missed and the people who caused such tragedy to a whole family should hang their head in shame. You have ripped away a bright future that was destined to make a change to many lives." The court heard that Ong-a-Kwie had convictions for possessing and supplying drugs. He admitted being in breach of a six-week suspended sentence for handling stolen jewellery dating back to October last year. Isaacs had previous convictions for possessing a screwdriver, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis as well as aggravated vehicle-taking.

She\u2019s been through a grueling trial\u2014charged with aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, and child endangerment\u2014and endured a national media circus. But to this day, Richardson says her biggest regret is not telling someone when she discovered she was pregnant.Richardson was acquitted of the most serious charges against her last month, in a trial that transfixed her small town of Carlisle, Ohio, and made headlines across the country. Critics dubbed the teenager a \u201cbaby killer\u201d and started Facebook groups calling for her murder, while supporters claimed her case set a dangerous precedent for pregnant women..In her first interview since the trial, Richardson told Cosmopolitan she spent much of that time agitating over what happened to her baby, whom she named Annabelle. Every night, she told Cosmo, \u201cI would lie down and wish that I could have died in place of Annabelle.\u201d\u201cI wish I would have done it differently,\u201d she added. \u201cI\u2019m plagued by guilt every day for not telling someone.\u201dOhio Cheerleader Found Not Guilty of Murdering Her Newborn BabyRichardson discovered she was pregnant in April 2017, at a gynecologist appointment her mother had arranged to get her birth control.

To this day, she maintains it was a stillbirth. (\u201cI did not hurt, harm, or kill Annabelle,\u201d she told Cosmo.) Panicked, she ran outside and dug a shallow grave in her backyard. She covered it with pink flower petals.Months after, when Richardson finally told a doctor the outcome of the pregnancy, the doctor reported her to authorities for suspected child abuse. Police assigned to the case questioned her for hours, until she admitted to trying to cremate the remains. Later, her defense team would say this confession was coerced, and the prosecution\u2019s own expert witness would also say there was no evidence of burning.But as news of her story spread, people in Richardson\u2019s town and beyond started calling her a monster.

\"IsilSenior Islamic State members with access to \u201chuge\u201d amounts of money are in Turkey and plotting a comeback, an Iraqi spy chief has warned. Lieutenant\u00a0General Saad al-Allaq, head of Iraq\u2019s Military Intelligence, claimed in an interview with CNN that Iraq has given Ankara\u00a0dossiers on nine alleged\u00a0leaders of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), including top financiers for the terror group. The general said senior Isil\u00a0figures known as "emirs" have access to vast reserves of cash and were forming new cells in Turkey. He claimed many of them had managed to escape from Isil\u2019s final patch of territory in Baghouz, eastern Syria, after bribing Western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach Idlib in the north-west. From there, he said, they crossed the border to Gaziantep in southern Turkey. "Some of its important leadership fled north, I mean in the direction of neighbouring countries and into border areas like Gazientep," Lt. Gen. Allaq said.

They crossed with the help of smugglers by paying large amount of money and have secretly entered Turkish territory." He added: "Those elements who are right now in Turkey play a key role in the recruitment of fighters and terrorists." CNN was shown Iraq\u2019s arrest warrants for the nine men, who are described as bomb makers. Lt. Gen. Allaq said the men\u00a0were "among the best bomb makers that Isis ever had." Lt. Gen. Allaq, who rarely gives interviews, said Iraq had intelligence that Isil leaders were planning jailbreaks of its supporters held in prisons and camps across Syria and Iraq. Isil members are led away to be questioned by coalition forces after surrendering, near Baghuz, eastern Syria Credit: Sam Tarling\u00a0 Turkey told the US network they were looking into the allegations. He said a new Isil mission code-named "Break Down the Fences" intended to storm jails where their followers were being held and try to replenish its manpower. Several high-profile Isil figures and their family members have been discovered in recent weeks in or near Turkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group\u2019s leader, was found hiding three miles from the border of Turkey in the Syria village of Barisha in Idlib, where he was killed in a US raid on October 26. Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, Isil\u2019s spokesman, was killed the following day several miles away near the town of Jarablus, which is under Turkish administration. Turkey then announced arrests it had made of Baghdadi\u2019s relatives, who had apparently been hiding in the country.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.

\"PaulPhoto Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyPaul Erickson, the former boyfriend of convicted Russian agent Maria Butina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, according to a plea agreement filed in a South Dakota federal court Monday afternoon.In a two-page statement detailing the factual basis for the plea, Erickson said he conned someone only identified as \u201cD.G.\u201d into wiring him $100,000 under the pretense that the money was for a real estate investment in North Dakota. As part of the plea filed in U.S. district court in South Dakota, Erickson admits the money was not for a real estate deal. He also notes that he wired $1,000 of the money to a person called \u201cM.B.\u201d\u00a0An attorney for Erickson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The case against Erickson, a well-known conservative operative who shuttled between Washington D.C. and South Dakota, was separate from the one lodged against Butina in Washington, D.C. Butina, a Russian national who cultivated relationships with powerful American conservative activists including Erickson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate laws prohibiting covert foreign agents. As part of her agreement she has promised to cooperate with American law enforcement.\u00a0She was deported earlier this year after serving a short prison sentence to her native Russia where she received a hero\u2019s welcome.Paul Erickson, Russian Agent Maria Butina\u2019s Boyfriend, Indicted for FraudErickson became involved in relationship with Butina in 2013.
