KRAK 11 NEWS
Good evening. I'm Chip Marlowe.
And I'm Deb Sarkissian. A new hour of KRAK 11 News starts now.
This hour: The World Desk, where the Israeli army has ordered a criminal investigation into the death of a five-year-old girl in Gaza who spent hours on the phone with paramedics before her body was recovered.
Then, Criminal Intent. President Trump delays a fifty percent tariff on Canadian imports after reaching a deal, and we have takeaways from Florida's primary elections where progressive Democrats faced significant challenges.
Happy Animals brings you the story of a golden retriever in Texas who has mastered the doorbell camera, a Scottish wildcat caught swimming for the first time on film, and other stories that prove the world is not entirely on fire.
One of those animals tested positive for cocaine.
That would be tennis player Nick Kyrgios, who is provisionally suspended and technically not an animal. And in Sports, firefighters are battling an industrial explosion in Toledo, Ohio, after flames engulfed a recycling facility yesterday.
But first, The World Desk is next with the investigation into the death of Hind Rajab, a story that took nearly two years to reach this point.
That's next.
THE WORLD DESK
Good evening, I'm Chip Marlowe.
And I'm Deb Sarkissian. We begin tonight with a legal battle over intellectual property.
An American Christian metal band is suing Netflix over a South Korean film that shares a similar name.
The band Demon Hunter filed suit in Los Angeles federal court this week, claiming the streaming service's K-pop-inspired film KPop Demon Hunters has created what they call an existential crisis for the group.
The band has been performing under that name since the late nineties, primarily in the Korean market.
The band is American. They've toured internationally, including South Korea.
Right. International presence.
The lawsuit alleges trademark infringement and seeks both monetary damages and an injunction preventing Netflix from using the name. The film was released globally in March.
Turning now to Brazil, where a head-on collision between a bus and a lorry has killed more than twenty people.
The crash occurred in the early hours of Wednesday morning on a highway in Minas Gerais state. Investigators have not yet determined what caused the two vehicles to collide.
Minas Gerais is in the southern industrial corridor, near São Paulo.
It's in the southeast. The state capital is Belo Horizonte.
South of the equator.
Yes. Emergency services transported survivors to regional hospitals. The bus was carrying workers to a textile factory at the time of the collision.
In the United Kingdom, rail investigators say they have found what they're calling an irregularity on tracks near the site of last week's train derailment in Lewes.
The Rail Accident Investigation Branch says the irregularity existed on the approach to the derailment site. They have not specified what type of track defect was discovered.
Lewes is a commuter town outside Brighton, on the southern coast.
It's in East Sussex, fifty miles south of London. No injuries were reported in the derailment, which occurred during routine service last Thursday.
Also in Britain, severe weather warnings have been updated across parts of the country.
The Met Office has extended thunderstorm warnings to include additional areas of northern England and eastern Scotland. Flash flooding is now expected across a wider area than initially forecast.
The warnings went into effect earlier this evening and will remain in place through Thursday morning.
Forecasters say the storms could bring up to two inches of rain in less than an hour in some locations. Residents in affected areas are being advised to prepare for possible travel disruption.
That is serious accumulation in a very short window.
It is. And still ahead tonight, a Fairmont man is charged with breaking into the same business three times in eight days.
Police say he left his wallet at the scene the second time.
That story is next in Criminal Intent.
You're watching KRAK 11 News.
CRIMINAL INTENT
Good evening. I'm Chip Marlowe.
And I'm Deb Sarkissian. We begin tonight with something we have never covered on this segment before.
A British soccer club is facing criminal charges. Not a player. The entire organization.
Manchester City Football Club is accused of more than one hundred alleged breaches of the Premier League's financial rules. Arsenal's chief executive says everyone wants clarity on the case.
One hundred separate violations is not financial irregularity, Deb. That is systematic criminal enterprise disguised as athletic competition.
The charges are alleged. No verdict has been reached.
Prosecutors allege.
Prosecutors allege. The Premier League has not commented on timing for the case. In Glasgow, police have launched a double murder investigation after two men were found dead in a flat on Chancellor Street Sunday.
The victims have been identified as Paul Lafferty and Gary Beaton. Detectives are treating the deaths as suspicious and are appealing for witnesses.
In national news, President Trump announced the United States is delaying a fifty percent tariff on Canadian imports after reaching a deal with Ottawa.
The delay follows negotiations between Washington and Canadian officials. The tariff would have affected billions in cross-border trade and was scheduled to take effect next month.
And in Florida, progressive Democrats faced mixed results in yesterday's primary elections. Several incumbent candidates retained their positions while challengers made gains in three districts.
Turnout was higher than expected in Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
It was twenty-two percent higher than the same primary in twenty twenty-two.
She keeps the receipts. Coming up, one of our Happy Animals stories features a creature that should not have been anywhere near what it tested positive for.
That story and the rest of Happy Animals in a few minutes on KRAK Eleven News.
Stay with us.
HAPPY ANIMALS
Welcome back to KRAK 11 News.
I submitted a proposal that we should open every broadcast with an animal story.
You did.
A Kemp's ridley sea turtle that washed ashore in Wales two years ago has completed a five-thousand-mile journey back to the Gulf of Mexico.
Biologists confirmed the arrival using a satellite tag fitted before release. The turtle was found hypothermic on a Welsh beach in twenty twenty-four and rehabilitated for eighteen months.
Five thousand miles.
That is the distance.
Researchers in Scotland have captured what may be the first recorded sighting of a Scottish wildcat swimming. The animal was filmed crossing a river in the Cairngorms.
Fewer than three hundred Scottish wildcats remain in the wild. This is the first documented case of the species entering water voluntarily.
Nobody knew they could swim.
Now we do.
A golden retriever in Texas continues to use a doorbell camera to request entry. The family says the dog now rings it an average of twelve times per day.
They installed the camera in March. The dog taught itself.
The family says it has not decided whether to disable the feature.
And still ahead, sports.
That's next.
SPORTS
Sports.
And I want to start tonight by saying that was the best handoff to sports I have given in three months and nobody acknowledged it.
The Ohio State Buckeyes open their season Saturday.
The Buckeyes host Akron at noon, favored by thirty-eight points, and that handoff was textbook. I handed it to you, you took it, the viewer experienced zero friction.
Ohio State is ranked fourth in the Yahoo Sports preseason poll. They finished last season ten and three after losses to Oregon, Michigan, and Missouri in the Cotton Bowl.
This is a bounce-back year. New offensive coordinator, experienced quarterback, the offensive line returns four starters, and Akron is thirty-eight points worse than they are.
Akron was four and eight last season.
Kickoff is noon at Ohio Stadium. Coverage begins at eleven.
A Greek gaming executive is reportedly in talks to purchase a significant stake in Bristol City Football Club, the Championship side currently sitting mid-table in England's second tier.
This is part of a larger trend. Foreign ownership in English football has accelerated significantly over the last eighteen months, particularly in the Championship, where clubs are viewed as undervalued assets with Premier League upside.
Bristol City has been in the Championship since twenty fifteen.
Nine years is a long time to wait for upside.
The deal has not been finalized and terms have not been disclosed.
Honda has admitted it did not fully understand the scale of its Formula One technical problems until January of this year, months after the season had already begun to unravel.
The team had struggled with engine reliability and performance throughout the twenty twenty-five season, finishing seventh in the constructors' championship.
January is four months into the off-season. That is when they realized they had been racing an engine that was fundamentally compromised.
Honda says it has redesigned key components for the twenty twenty-six season.
Which means they are starting over.
They are starting over.
And finally tonight, Magnus Carlsen defended his world chess title at the twenty twenty-six Esports World Cup in Riyadh, defeating challenger Fabiano Caruana in a match that went to tiebreakers after fourteen classical games ended in draws.
Carlsen has held the world number one ranking for fourteen consecutive years.
Fourteen years. No one else has come close.
Garry Kasparov held the top ranking for twelve years between nineteen eighty-six and nineteen ninety-eight.
Carlsen won the rapid playoff four games to two. He is undoubtedly the greatest of all time, and I believe that phrase, when applied to chess, carries a level of—
We're at time.
I was building to something.
Build faster.
Still ahead, the next KRAK 11 News at the top of the hour. We will have the latest on efforts to contain the Ebola outbreak in the Congo, where cases have now exceeded five thousand.
And a Wexler County family says someone has been ringing their doorbell at all hours. They have no idea who. Or why.
That is the next KRAK 11 News, at the top of the hour. I'm Chip Marlowe.
I'm Deb Sarkissian. Goodnight.
