Rescuers search for survivors of powerful Indonesia earthquake

We begin with breaking news out of Indonesia where rescue operations continue into Sunday night after yesterday's earthquake. Officials say forty-seven people are confirmed dead, hundreds of buildings destroyed, and the chances of finding additional survivors are now described as extremely limited.

This is along the Indonesian-Malaysian border, in the mountainous region where search efforts have been complicated by terrain.

It's not near Malaysia. The epicenter was in West Java, roughly four hundred miles from the Malaysian border.

Right, West Java, which borders the area I mentioned.

It borders Central Java and Banten Province. International aid organizations are on the ground. The Indonesian government has not requested additional foreign assistance at this time.

To Hawaii now, where the Big Island is preparing for what could be its first direct hurricane hit in more than three decades. Category one Hurricane Lala is expected to make landfall late Sunday night Hawaii time with sustained winds near eighty miles per hour.

The National Weather Service says in a worst-case scenario the storm could dump up to twenty-five inches of rain on parts of the island. Mandatory evacuation orders for coastal areas could be announced by six p.m. Hawaii time if Lala maintains its current track.

Airlines have already cancelled Sunday flights. Anyone who was planning to get out has already gotten out.

Travelers already on the island have been told to shelter in place. The last hurricane to make direct landfall on Big Island was Iniki in nineteen ninety-two. That was category four.

In the United Kingdom, Scotland Yard has issued an apology after a significant data breach exposed the identities of dozens of alleged victims of the late businessman Mohamed Al Fayed. The Metropolitan Police sent a group email to everyone who had signed up for monthly updates on the investigation.

All recipient email addresses were visible to everyone on the list.

So anyone on that list could see anyone else on that list.

That's the opposite of what you do in a case like this.

The breach happened Saturday. Scotland Yard has not said how many people were affected. The force called it a regrettable error and says additional safeguards are now in place.

And in Virginia, police are searching for multiple suspects after five people were shot outside a residence hall at Virginia State University early Saturday morning. The shooting happened around one-thirty a.m. local time. All five victims were taken to area hospitals. No word yet on their conditions.

The university issued a shelter-in-place order for approximately three hours. That has since been lifted. Classes are scheduled to resume Monday morning. Police have not released suspect descriptions or said whether the victims were students.

Virginia State is a historically Black university about twenty miles south of Richmond. Enrollment is around four thousand students.

We begin tonight with what authorities are calling one of the stranger Secret Service operations in recent memory. The President of the United States secretly swapped planes mid-journey last month, leaving a NATO summit in Turkey on a decoy aircraft while Air Force One departed separately.

The President confirmed the switch yesterday, citing what he called a credible threat. Former Secret Service agents say decoys are common, but this level of operational complexity is unusual.

The move involved coordinating two identical aircraft, synchronized departures, and what sources describe as a sophisticated misdirection effort that would make a magician envious.

Analysts say the incident reflects escalating tensions with Iran. The President has not specified the nature of the threat.

Turning now to better news. Violent crime has dropped to historic lows across multiple major U.S. cities. Homicides in Newark, New Jersey are down significantly compared to last year, part of a broader national trend.

Data shows similar declines in Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Experts attribute the drop to a combination of community policing initiatives and improved crime prevention strategies.

Good to see. Meanwhile, immigration enforcement continues to escalate. ICE agents are now being issued shock gloves, a piece of equipment that was previously discontinued by other federal agencies over safety concerns.

The move comes as thousands of Afghan allies who were relocated to the U.S. after the withdrawal five years ago now face uncertainty about their immigration status. Some fear they may be deported despite having assisted American forces.

And in local crime, a Wexler County man has been cited for the third time this year after his dog was found running loose on Highway 14. Authorities say the dog, a mixed breed named Captain, was unharmed and has been returned to its owner.

The owner told deputies he's installing a new fence. He said the same thing in April.

A hundred-and-one-year-old woman in England has opened a museum in her home featuring toys from her childhood, including a full collection of miniature animals she's kept for nine decades.

Val discovered the toys in an attic and decided the public should see them. The dolls' house museum is now open by appointment.

Author Peter James has moved back to his hometown with fifty-seven animals, including dogs, chickens, and what he calls a small menagerie.

The Brighton-born crime novelist says the animals required two removal vans.

Closer to home, the Fort Bend County fundraiser for the Goosey statue has now passed forty-two thousand dollars.

The bronze statue will be life-size and honking. Dedication is still planned for spring twenty twenty-five.

Chelsea drew one-one with Fulham at Stamford Bridge this afternoon. Morgan Rogers scored on his debut twelve minutes in, then Chelsea spent the next hour doing everything but finishing.

College football. Oregon beat Idaho forty-two to ten in Eugene. Dillon Gabriel threw three touchdowns in his debut for the Ducks, looked completely comfortable in that system.

Penn State beat West Virginia thirty-four to twelve. Drew Allar threw for two hundred eighty-five yards and three touchdowns.

The European Athletics Championships wrap up tomorrow in Rome. Amy Hunt goes for her fourth gold medal in the four-by-one-hundred relay final. Two-fifteen Eastern.

Here's a feel-good story. A youth soccer league in Wexler County is raffling off a signed ball to raise money for new goals. The goals they have now are eighteen years old and one of them is missing a net.
