KRAK 11 NEWS
Good evening. I'm Chip Marlowe.
And I'm Deb Sarkissian. This is KRAK 11 News. Three members of a family are dead after getting into difficulty in the sea off the Sussex coast. A fourth remains in critical condition. We'll have the latest from authorities.
Coming up this hour: THE WORLD DESK brings you a new initiative to get rough sleepers off England's streets by Christmas. CRIMINAL INTENT has the story prosecutors don't want you hearing yet. HAPPY ANIMALS introduces you to a bird that can kill a grown man with one kick.
Happy Animals is about a First Amendment lawsuit.
And SPORTS covers an industrial explosion in Ohio that firefighters are still battling tonight. All of that and more in the next sixty minutes, right here on KRAK 11.
Still ahead on THE WORLD DESK: England's housing secretary says everyone sleeping rough will have a place indoors by Christmas. The plan, the cost, and who's paying for it — that's next.
THE WORLD DESK
Good evening. I'm Chip Marlowe.
And I'm Deb Sarkissian.
Gordo, is the globe graphic holding for the full rotation now or are we still cutting it at three-quarters.
We don't have a globe graphic.
We had one in twenty-seventeen.
It's twenty-twenty-five.
We begin tonight in London, where Queen Camilla has spoken publicly for the first time about the emotional burden of keeping the King's cancer diagnosis private before it was announced in February.
The Queen described the period as difficult, particularly given the constant scrutiny from British and Commonwealth press stationed in the palace district.
Buckingham Palace announced the diagnosis in February. The King has continued official duties throughout treatment.
The Commonwealth press headquarters is in Westminster, directly adjacent to Buckingham Palace, which creates unique access challenges for the Royal Family.
Buckingham Palace is in Westminster. The Commonwealth press gallery is inside the Palace of Westminster, where Parliament sits, one mile east.
They're both in Westminster.
They are not adjacent.
The White House has announced new sanctions targeting senior officials at the International Criminal Court, with an administration official describing the measures as part of what he called a brick-by-brick effort to dismantle the institution.
The Court is headquartered in The Hague and has jurisdiction over war crimes and crimes against humanity in countries that have ratified the Rome Statute. The sanctions freeze assets and restrict travel for named officials.
The United States is not a signatory to the Rome Statute, which has historically limited the Court's reach when American personnel operate in international conflict zones.
The Court has issued warrants involving both American allies and adversaries. A State Department briefing is scheduled for tomorrow morning.
The Hague is in the Netherlands, about forty miles southwest of Amsterdam, in the coastal lowlands where most international institutions are based.
The Hague is fifteen miles from Amsterdam.
Coastal lowlands.
Both cities are in South Holland, yes.
In Canada, the President's seventy-two-hour pause on new tariffs remains in effect as negotiators work to finalize what both governments are describing as a comprehensive trade framework.
The pause applies to lumber, steel, aluminum, and a range of agricultural products. Existing tariffs on other categories remain in place while talks continue in Ottawa.
The President said both countries are close to agreement. Canadian officials have confirmed active negotiations but have not provided a timeline for completion.
That was The World Desk. When we return, the Ledger is reporting criminal charges in a case that has divided Wexler County for eighteen months.
A local business owner, surveillance video, and a timeline that does not match the statements given to investigators.
That story and more, still ahead on Criminal Intent.
That's next.
CRIMINAL INTENT
Good evening. I'm Chip Marlowe.
And I'm Deb Sarkissian. Welcome back to KRAK 11 News.
Gordo, is the segment card holding for two full seconds now or are we still cutting early.
It held for two seconds.
I'd like confirmation from the booth.
A California burglary suspect spent seven hours trapped inside a wall before police on a coffee break heard him calling for help.
Police say the suspect entered a commercial building through the roof Tuesday morning and became stuck between interior walls attempting to exit.
Officers returning from break heard muffled shouting, located the suspect, and fire crews removed a section of drywall to extract him.
He was treated for dehydration and booked on suspicion of burglary. The building owner reported nothing was taken.
A Louisiana man fleeing sheriff's deputies through a swamp was attacked by an alligator during the pursuit.
Body camera footage shows deputies ordering the suspect to exit the water when he suddenly disappeared below the surface.
Prosecutors allege he resurfaced moments later screaming that an alligator had bitten his leg. He was transported to a hospital for treatment and faces charges including resisting arrest.
Missouri police discovered fentanyl hidden inside counterfeit Barbie dolls sold at a discount store.
Investigators say the packages contained narcotics concealed inside toys designed to resemble licensed products. Two suspects have been arrested.
A Massachusetts man led police on what authorities are describing as a slow-speed pursuit while operating a front-end loader on a public road.
Police said.
The vehicle reached speeds of approximately fifteen miles per hour before the operator stopped voluntarily after seven minutes. He was charged with operating under the influence.
New York police say a carjacking crash led officers to six hundred pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop in the Bronx.
Authorities say the suspects fled the scene of a collision and were stopped three blocks away with the narcotics visible in the vehicle. Two men have been charged.
Still ahead, a story we cannot describe without spoiling it. Happy Animals is next.
You're watching KRAK 11 News.
HAPPY ANIMALS
Welcome back to KRAK 11 News.
Deb, before we start, I would like the segment card to hold for the full two seconds. Not one point nine. Two.
It held for two seconds.
It felt shorter.
An endangered Kemp's ridley sea turtle has completed a five-thousand-mile journey from Wales back to the Texas coast where biologists first tagged her fourteen years ago.
The turtle, named Tally, was released as a hatchling in two thousand twelve. She was found in Welsh waters last November, rehabilitated at the Anglesey Sea Zoo, and made the crossing in forty-three days.
That is extraordinary.
Marine biologists say Kemp's ridley turtles have the strongest natal homing instinct of any sea turtle species. They can navigate thousands of miles using Earth's magnetic field.
In Scotland, wildlife researchers report what they believe is the first recorded sighting of a Scottish wildcat swimming across a river in the Cairngorms National Park.
Scottish wildcats are critically endangered. Fewer than three hundred remain in the wild, all of them in the Highlands.
The sighting was documented by camera traps operated by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland as part of a breeding program. Researchers say the behavior suggests the population may be expanding into new territory.
Good.
In Ohio, a dog that went missing after last Tuesday's industrial explosion has been reunited with its family after firefighters found it sheltering inside a drainage culvert two miles from the blast site.
The dog, a three-year-old border collie named Scout, was uninjured. The family says Scout has not left their side since coming home.
That is the entire update.
Still ahead: a college football season opens with one team favored by nearly forty points, and the White Sox lose their fourteenth straight. That's next.
SPORTS
Time now for THE KRAK 11 SCOREBOARD.
IndyCar. The Freedom Two-Fifty Grand Prix runs this weekend in Washington.
You covered that Tuesday.
New development. Practice has been moved to Thursday due to track surface concerns. Qualifying remains Saturday, race Sunday.
The track surface was poured in June.
Baseball. The St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Cincinnati Reds five to two last night behind Kyle Gibson's seven innings of two-run ball.
Nolan Arenado drove in three with a double in the fifth.
Arenado now has seventy-eight RBIs on the season, second on the team behind Paul Goldschmidt's eighty-one. The Cardinals sit third in the Central, four games back.
They host Pittsburgh tonight at seven fifteen.
College football. Arkansas opens its season Saturday against Western Carolina. The Razorbacks are favored by thirty-one.
Head coach Sam Pittman says the offensive line has been rebuilt from the ground up after losing four starters to graduation.
Pittman also confirmed quarterback KJ Jefferson will start. Jefferson threw for twenty-eight touchdowns last season with only five interceptions.
Kickoff is noon Saturday at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
And Ohio State opens its season Saturday against Akron favored by thirty-eight and a half points, which we covered last hour.
We did.
Golf. The PGA Championship begins Thursday at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York. Defending champion Brooks Koepka tees off at eight forty-five.
Scottie Scheffler is favored at seven to one. Rory McIlroy is second at nine to one.
Koepka won last year by two strokes after a final-round sixty-seven. He says the course is playing firm and fast this week, which favors precision over distance.
Coverage begins Thursday morning at ten on ESPN.
Soccer. Barcelona completed the signing of Manchester City midfielder Rodri for sixty-five million pounds, which we also covered last hour.
We did.
New quotes. Rodri says he is ready for excitement again after four seasons in Manchester. Barcelona manager Xavi called the signing, quote, the final piece.
Manchester City won the Premier League in three of Rodri's four seasons there.
He's looking for a different kind of excitement.
The kind where you lose more.
Coming up. The next KRAK 11 News begins at the top of the hour with breaking developments on that industrial explosion in Ohio.
Firefighters are still on scene in Toledo. We'll have the latest from the Ohio State Fire Marshal's office.
Plus developments in the Florida primary races. Results are still being counted in several key counties.
That's next.
Gordo, was the scoreboard graphic holding for two full seconds before the first result or are we still cutting early.
We're holding.
Because it felt short on the Cardinals result.
It was two seconds.
Network sports packages hold the graphic through the entire lede. It establishes authority.
Network sports packages have a graphics department.
We have a graphics department.
We have Gordo.
I'm a department.
Then as a department, hold the scoreboard graphic for three seconds on the next result. It reads as premium.
It reads as we don't know when to cut.
Three seconds is the industry standard for high-value sports coverage, Deb. I have the timing sheets from ESPN's coverage of the College Football Playoff.
You have timing sheets from ESPN.
I requested them.
They sent them.
Under the Freedom of Information Act, broadcast technical specifications are considered—
Thirty seconds.
Three seconds, Gordo. Premium.
