KRAK 11 NEWS
Good evening. I'm Chip Marlowe.
And I'm Deb Sarkissian. This is KRAK 11 News at the top of the hour.
Tonight. A British couple on their honeymoon killed in a helicopter crash off a Greek island. THE WORLD DESK has the full story.
CRIMINAL INTENT. The U.S. and Iran miss a critical deadline for peace talks, and three states hold primary elections that could reshape the Senate.
HAPPY ANIMALS brings you the story of a prime minister, a fake email, and a very real embarrassment.
He says he's not embarrassed.
And in SPORTS, a federal court ruling has quietly changed one of the country's oldest firearms laws. What lapsed, what that means, and what happens next.
All of that this hour on KRAK 11 News. THE WORLD DESK is next, with a story out of Greece that ended two lives on what should have been the first week of a marriage.
Stay with us.
Take that off.
It's called distinguished.
It's called a sweater vest.
George Will wears a sweater vest.
George Will is eighty-three years old.
Exactly. Timeless.
You look like you teach at a community college.
I could teach at a community college.
Chip, you look like you're about to explain why I got a C-minus.
Well maybe if you'd turned in your assignments on time, Deb.
THE WORLD DESK
Good evening. This is The World Desk.
I've been sitting forward for twenty-nine minutes.
You have.
It reads as engaged with the material.
It reads as a man who cannot find his chair.
We begin tonight with a public health emergency in the United Kingdom. One person is dead and hundreds more have fallen ill in a salmonella outbreak health officials believe is linked to imported eggs.
Most of the cases were reported in England in recent weeks. Health authorities are working with importers to identify the specific supplier and have issued warnings about thoroughly cooking eggs.
Salmonella outbreaks in that region typically trace back to industrial farms in the EU agricultural belt, which extends across much of the continent.
The eggs were imported from outside the European Union.
Outside the Union but within the agricultural zone.
There is no agricultural zone, Chip.
The belt spans multiple jurisdictions, Deb. That is the entire purpose of a belt.
Turning to Ukraine tonight. Russian officials are accusing Britain of escalating the war after British-made drones were used in strikes deep inside Russian territory this week.
British Prime Minister Gordon Burnham responded today, saying the UK supports Ukraine one hundred percent and will continue to supply defensive equipment as Kyiv faces what he called its hour of need.
Moscow says the drones targeted military installations in the western military districts near the border with Ukraine.
The western oblasts, which extend into the Eastern European plain.
The western military districts.
Correct. The plain extends through those districts into the European borderlands.
Russia is not in Eastern Europe.
The western portion is.
The western portion of Russia is in Russia.
Also tonight, new testimony in the murder trial of the man accused of killing rapper Tupac Shakur nearly three decades ago. A Las Vegas police officer who responded to the nineteen ninety-six shooting testified today about what happened in the moments after Shakur was shot multiple times.
The officer testified that when he arrived at the intersection outside the MGM Grand, quote, all hell broke loose. Shakur refused to cooperate with investigators and when asked who shot him, told the officer, quote, we'll take care of it.
Shakur died six days later. The defendant, Duane Davis, has pleaded not guilty to murder. Prosecutors say Davis was in the vehicle from which the shots were fired.
Defense attorneys argue that being present does not establish culpability under Nevada law. The trial continues tomorrow in Las Vegas.
And we want to be clear with our viewers that this testimony, while difficult to hear, is part of the public record and relevant to understanding why this case went unsolved for twenty-seven years.
It is.
In sports, the Premier League announced today it will begin publishing official judgments on controversial referee and VAR decisions for the first time this season.
The verdicts will come from the league's Key Match Incidents Panel and will be made public within forty-eight hours of each match. The panel will review offside calls, penalty decisions, and red card incidents.
This is a significant step toward transparency in a league where officiating controversies have, frankly, defined entire seasons.
Chip, if you could name one VAR decision from this season.
There have been dozens.
Name one.
Still ahead on KRAK 11 News, a Wexler County man faces charges after police say he was caught on camera in a crime that left investigators, in their words, absolutely baffled. We'll explain what happened, when it happened, and why authorities believe this was not his first attempt.
That's Criminal Intent, in a few minutes.
Stop spraying that shit.
It's cologne, Deb.
It's in my mouth.
Then you're standing too close to success.
I am six feet away from you and my tongue smells divorced.
It's called Timber Wolf.
Of course it is. You smell like a gas station condom machine became a stepdad.
Women happen to love it.
A woman called the station and asked if we were embalming somebody.
Jealousy is an ugly fragrance, Gordo.
Chip, my fucking coffee tastes like nightclub security.
That's the pheromones.
Those aren't pheromones. That's rubbing alcohol with a custody agreement.
Sixty seconds.
Don't you fucking—
JESUS CHRIST.
Weather radar just picked it up.
Little touch-up.
There are moths dying in the parking lot.
Means it's working.
CRIMINAL INTENT
Good evening. I'm Chip Marlowe.
And I'm Deb Sarkissian.
Gordo, the sign-off is still reading flat. I would like the word 'Marlowe' to carry slightly more weight than the word 'next,' which is currently receiving equal emphasis and that feels like a missed opportunity.
We're live in forty seconds.
We begin tonight with a story out of New Hampshire that started as a traffic stop and ended with a hundred-mile-per-hour pursuit down Interstate Ninety-Five that concluded when the driver pulled over voluntarily in Waterville.
State police said the vehicle reached speeds exceeding one hundred miles per hour before the driver pulled over without prompting. The driver has been charged with operating under the influence and criminal speed.
Police said they recovered no contraband from the vehicle, which raises the question of what the hundred-mile-per-hour portion of the evening was attempting to accomplish in the first place.
Police said they're still investigating.
In London, Royal Parks officials are recommending visitors photograph deer from a minimum distance of fifty meters after seventeen people were injured by deer this year alone, most of whom were holding bread at the time of contact.
The parks are home to over six hundred red and fallow deer. Officials said the animals are wild and should not be approached or fed.
Which seems to be the precise intersection of advice and behavior where seventeen injuries occur.
The bread is not helping.
Two Ohio teenagers were formally charged this week with criminal trespass and property damage after prosecutors allege they filmed themselves kicking in seven doors as part of the door-kicking challenge that has now resulted in at least four separate shooting incidents across nine states.
Police said participants are recording the incidents and posting them online. Homeowners in at least four cases believed their homes were being invaded and responded with gunfire.
The challenge has been described by law enforcement officials in three jurisdictions as a viral trend that can turn, quote, from funny to fatal in less than three seconds.
That's according to a joint statement issued by prosecutors in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
A British man has been charged under the Communications Act after prosecutors allege he published the addresses of asylum seekers online. The charge carries a maximum sentence of two years.
The case is one of several filed under provisions of the Act that criminalize communications intended to cause distress or alarm.
Still ahead: Happy Animals. A dog who chose a very good firefighter, and a salmonella outbreak that has closed part of the UK supply chain. That's next on KRAK Eleven News.
We'll be right back.
So.
So what.
Nothing. Just a day. Like any other day.
Okay.
Although some days are more significant than others.
Is today significant.
I didn't say that.
Happy birthday, Chip.
How did you know.
You do this every year. I hope you have a wonderful day..
HAPPY ANIMALS
Welcome back to KRAK 11 News.
I have been sitting forward for thirty-five minutes.
You've been sitting forward for thirty-five minutes.
It conveys commitment to the material.
A rescue organization in Montana has successfully rehabilitated a golden eagle struck by a vehicle near Missoula last March.
The bird sustained a fractured wing and required surgery to stabilize the bone. Wildlife officials released it Wednesday morning in the same valley where it was found.
Six months is a long time to wait.
A Fairmont family has adopted three kittens found abandoned in a recycling bin behind the Wexler County Library on Tuesday.
The kittens were approximately four weeks old and in good health. Animal Control held them for seventy-two hours before clearing them for adoption.
The family says they were looking for one cat and left with three.
That's how it happens.
A Virginia aquarium has documented the first successful birth of a critically endangered stingray in captivity. The pup was born last Thursday and is being monitored around the clock.
Marine biologists say the species has fewer than two hundred individuals remaining in the wild, primarily in Southeast Asian river systems.
Two hundred in the entire world. And now there's one more.
A San Diego zoo has announced that a pair of giant pandas on loan from China will remain in the United States for an additional three years under an extended conservation agreement.
The zoo says visitor attendance increased forty-two percent in the first year the pandas arrived.
Still ahead on KRAK 11, the Fairmont Falcons say last season was the anomaly, and they're ready to prove it Friday night at six fifteen.
SPORTS is next.
Ford wants to sponsor your mustache.
My face is not available for naming rights.
How much.
Eight hundred a month. You have to call it the F-150.
The mustache is part of the journalist.
Sell the chin. Nobody believes that belongs to journalism.
We can't sell that chin.
For nine hundred, put mud flaps under my tits.
The mustache remains public broadcasting.
SPORTS
Sports.
I have been sitting forward for forty-one minutes.
You have.
And I believe it is reading as engaged.
The Fairmont Falcons open their season Friday night at home against the Wexler County Cougars at six fifteen, and seven starters return from a team that finished twelve and eighteen last season.
That is continuity. That is chemistry. That is the foundation you build a winning program on, and this year feels different.
Twelve and eighteen is a losing record.
It is experience.
In soccer, a documentary about Pep Guardiola's final two seasons at Manchester City has revealed previously unseen footage of a confrontation between the manager and former captain Kyle Walker during the 2025 campaign.
The series documents Walker's departure from the club following what sources describe as a disagreement over playing time and tactical deployment in the Champions League semifinal.
Walker won fifteen major trophies at City.
He did.
The Premier League will now publish Key Match Incidents Panel verdicts within forty-eight hours of each match, a significant acceleration from the previous seventy-two-hour window.
The panel reviews contentious VAR decisions and issues clarifications on offside calls, handball interpretation, and penalty awards that were missed or misapplied during live play.
You couldn't name a single VAR decision from this season.
I could name several.
Name one.
The panel will handle that going forward.
In Portland, Oregon, the annual Adult Soapbox Derby combined downhill speed with extreme pageantry this weekend as more than seventy teams raced motorless vehicles down Mount Tabor.
Contestants built cars shaped like cartoon characters, subway trains, giant animals, and food items including a fourteen-foot hot dog that reached speeds of thirty-two miles per hour.
Thirty-two miles per hour is not a sport.
It's a soapbox derby.
It is a parade with a gradient.
The winning team completed the course in forty-one seconds.
That is very fast.
Still ahead on the next KRAK 11 News at the top of the hour, we will have the latest on the Wexler County budget hearing that stretched past midnight.
Three departments walked out. Two are not coming back. And the county says it has the votes to pass the budget anyway.
That is the next KRAK 11 News, at the top of the hour.
I'm Chip Marlowe.
I'm Deb Sarkissian. Good night.
Gordo.
We're clear.
Did that read. The posture. Did that read as network engagement.
It read as a man who has been sitting forward for forty-one minutes.
Which is commitment.
Which is a herniated disc waiting to happen.
Network anchors sit forward. It is a visual cue that the material matters.
Network anchors sit in chairs that cost four thousand dollars and have lumbar support engineered by people with actual medical degrees.
Your chair cost a hundred and twelve dollars.
And I have been making it work for forty-one minutes.
