<p>A seven-year-old girl, Aspen Brown, of Paragould City in the US state of Arkansas, found a sparkling 2.95-carat golden brown diamond while visiting a state park. The park while making the announcement in a press release said that Brown was visiting the park with her dad and grandmother to celebrate her birthday on September 1 when she tumbled on the diamond, a perfect gift for the little one.</p>

<p>She visited Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro where she found the second-largest diamond registered by a park guest this year. It is topped only by a 3.29-carat brown diamond discovered in March.</p>

Brown’s diamond is the first large diamond registered since the completion of an excavation project at the park last month, the state park said in a press release.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>37.5-acre diamond search area</strong></h2>

<p>The girl with her family members was on the north side of the park’s 37.5-acre diamond search area. As per the release, it is a plowed field atop the eroded surface of an ancient, diamond-bearing volcano.</p>

<p>Luther Brown, the girl's dad said, “She got hot and wanted to sit down for a minute, so she walked over to some big rocks by the fence line. Next thing I know, she was running to me, saying ‘Dad! Dad! I found one!’”<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
“Aspen’s diamond has a golden-brown color and a sparkling luster. It is a complete crystal, with no broken facets and a small crevice on one side, created when the diamond was formed,” said Waymon Cox, assistant park superintendent. “It’s certainly one of the most beautiful diamonds I’ve seen in recent years.”</p>

After the visitors find any diamond at the park, they typically name it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Police have arrested a Vermont armed robbery suspect on Thursday who dodged capture last week after an extensive fast-moving chase, authorities said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Eric Edson, suspected of robbing a store in Burlington on August 24, escaped in a vehicle, then on a stolen bike, on foot and in a stolen sailboat. According to the police, he also impeded and attacked two cops and stole a sailboat and a few vehicles in his bid to evade arrest.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Vermont State Police arrested the 52-year-old suspect after receiving a tip on Thursday that he was on a kayak about 21 miles from Burlington.</p>

<p>Burlington Chief Jon Murad told AP news agency, "Because of the unusualness of Mr Edson's various modes of flight, from cars to bikes to paddle boards to sailboats to tractors, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that Mr Edson is a dangerous person."</p>

<p>Edson has 40 total felony convictions on his record, with criminal activity dating back to 1987, the NY Daily Times reported.</p>

<p>According to the Burlington Police, on August 30, they witnessed a man passed out in a running vehicle, matching the description of an&nbsp;accused in a robbery a week before. When the officers woke him, he fled at a high speed, attacking both officers with the car, the police said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"This suspect was an individual that displayed a propensity for violence and it certainly put the community, the public in a sense of unease," said Vermont State Police Sgt. Michael Filipek.</p>

<p>Democratic Party ruled California is suing a school district for making a rule under which it is required to inform parents if a student asks to change their name or pronoun.</p>

<p>According to the policy adopted by Chino Valley Unified School District, parents must be immediately informed if a student uses facilities or participates in a programme not aligned with the gender assigned to them on paper.</p>

<p>Now, California has sued the school for allegedly violating the state’s constitution and children’s human rights.</p>

<h2><strong>What does the lawsuit say?</strong></h2>

<p>As per the lawsuit filed by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, passing over information to parents without obtaining permission from the students for the same amounts to a violation of civil rights laws.</p>

<p>According to a statement issued by Bonta, “Every student has the right to learn and thrive in a school environment that promotes safety, privacy, and inclusivity – regardless of their gender identity.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>“The forced outing policy wrongfully endangers the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of non-conforming students,” he added.</p>

<h2><strong>School district’s arguments</strong></h2>

<p>Chino Valley Unified School District maintains that it protects transgender students under its policies, contrary to allegations levelled by Bonta.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It added that in such circumstances, it doesn’t notify parents or guardians; instead, it first waits for the investigation by officials to conclude.</p>

<h2><strong>Other similar court cases</strong></h2>

<p>The lawsuit represents the most recent addition to a series of legal cases emerging in courts.

<p>American Airlines has filed a lawsuit against Skiplagged over unauthorised and deceptive ticketing practices. Skiplagged is an online&nbsp;travel company that helps customers find cheaper flights by using a loophole.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The lawsuit states that Skiplagged has never had the authority to issue American Airlines tickets — only an American Airlines agent can, CBS News reported.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the airline, the travel agency has been using a loophole, where a passenger buys a cheaper ticket to a smaller airport with a layover at a bigger airport, even though they have no intention of boarding a second flight, this practice is&nbsp; called Hidden City Ticketing.</p>

<p>It further said that by using this flight booking method, Skiplagged violates AA.com use agreement and conditions, including its policy that states people who use its website must not act as an agent for anyone outside their family.</p>

<p>Skiplagged makes its customer enter their personal and payment information on its websites and then uses the information to book flights on the American website, the suit alleges.

<p>The travel agency also violates the airline's copyright because it uses its trademark in order to mark the flights and coaches the passengers to do the same.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The lawsuit read, "In what is likely the most egregious communication on its website, Skiplagged tells the passengers to lie to American Airlines about their final destination and participate in Skiplagged's deceptive practices in order to book a ticket."</p>

<p>A representative of American Airlines told CBS News, "If a customer knowingly or unknowingly purchases a ticket and doesn't fly all of the segments in their itinerary, it can lead to operational issues with checked bags and prevent other customers from booking a seat when they may have an urgent need to travel."</p>

Donald Trump is due to appear in a Washington, D.C., federal court on Thursday to face conspiracy and witness tampering charges related to the former U.S. president's attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat. This marks the third active criminal case against the former president, who is also the current frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination.

<p>In his latest legal challenge, the former US president has been criminally charged over allegedly attempting to overturn the 2020 election result.</p>

<p>Not just that, he could soon face the fourth indictment over alleged electoral interference in Georgia, further exacerbating his legal woes.</p>

<h2><strong>Biden avoids commenting on Trump’s predicament</strong></h2>

<p>Biden, who has become notorious for passing impulsive remarks, has unusually remained calm over Trump’s indictment.</p>

<p>He has notably avoided commenting on Trump’s legal woes and is taking a disciplined approach.</p>

<p>Even on Wednesday (August 2), as a reporter in Rehoboth shouted one-word-question to Biden—“indictments?”—the US president remained mum.</p>

<p>Perhaps, Biden understands that even a word from Biden will fuel theories in the speculation market about Biden weaponising the judiciary against his political rival.</p>

Even as US President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden enjoy their Delaware beach vacation, along with the blockbuster Oppenheimer, it all looks gloomy for his Republican rival Donald Trump who now faces his third indictment since March.

Even as US President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden enjoy their Delaware beach vacation, along with the blockbuster Oppenheimer, it all looks gloomy for his Republican rival Donald Trump who now faces his third indictment since March. The contrast In his latest legal challenge, the former US president has been criminally charged over allegedly attempting to overturn the 2020 election result. Not just that, he could soon face the fourth indictment over alleged electoral interference in Georgia, further exacerbating his legal woes.

Watch: Donald Trump's third indictment in four months × He was expected to hit the beach Thursday (August 3), or he might take another bike ride. Biden avoids commenting on Trump’s predicament Biden, who has become notorious for passing impulsive remarks, has unusually remained calm over Trump’s indictment. He has notably avoided commenting on Trump’s legal woes and is taking a disciplined approach. Even on Wednesday (August 2), as a reporter in Rehoboth shouted one-word-question to Biden—“indictments?”—the US president remained mum. Perhaps, Biden understands that even a word from Biden will fuel theories in the speculation market about Biden weaponising the judiciary against his political rival. Biden indeed needs a relaxing break before he embarks on one of the toughest journeys of his life—the 2024 Presidential election campaign, where he is expected to meet Donald Trump again.

<p>Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump’s former lawyer, and ex-mayor of New York City, has admitted that he made false statements when he accused two Georgia election workers of committing ballot fraud.</p>

<p>The confession came during a late night Tuesday filing before a federal court in response to a lawsuit filed in 2021 by a mother-daughter duo—Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who were accused of ballot-stuffing to help Joe Biden win Georgia.</p>

<p>During their testimony to the US House of Representatives select committee probing the Capitol riot last year, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss said that they received threats over the false claims.</p>

<p>In the court filing, Giuliani conceded that after the 2020 vote, he made statements that “carry meaning that is defamatory per se” and that he doesn’t contest Moss and Freeman’s accusations.</p>

<h2><strong>'Remarks protected under&nbsp;freedom of speech'</strong></h2>

<p>He, however, maintained that his statements were protected by freedom of speech, and also refused to acknowledge that his smear campaign caused emotional distress to the mother and daughter.</p>

<p>"While Giuliani does not admit to plaintiffs' allegations, he, for purposes of this litigation only, does not contest the factual allegations," his lawyer Joseph Sibley told the court.</p>

<p>Giuliani’s aide Ted Goodman said his confession was an effort to bypass the fact-gathering stage and move on to legal arguments about whether he can be held liable for the damages the mother-daughter duo is seeking.</p>

<p>“Mayor Rudy Giuliani did not acknowledge that the statements were false but did not contest it in order to move on to the portion of the case that will permit a motion to dismiss,” Goodman said.</p>

<p>“This is a legal issue, not a factual issue. Those out to smear the mayor are ignoring the fact that this stipulation is designed to get to the legal issues of the case.”</p>

<h2><strong>Victims' lawyer welcomes confession&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>On Wednesday, Judge Beryl A Howell of the DC District Court, acknowledged Giuliani’s concessions in the lawsuit and ordered him to pay more of Moss and Freeman’s legal fees, after previously ordering him to pay them $90,000.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, lawyers for Moss and Freeman welcomed Giuliani’s confession and called it a “major milestone” in the case.</p>

Ex-Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani admits to lying about Georgia voter fraud

<p>Jazmin Paez, an 18-year-old woman, has been accused of trying to hire a hitman to kill her three-year-old son this week. Local reports have said that she has bonded out of jail.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Media reports have said the court documents showed Paez has been charged with first-degree solicitation of murder and third-degree using a communications device for unlawful use.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Paez reportedly solicited a killer through a fake website - http://RentAHitman.com. It is said that the site was apparently for fun and also to find those looking to hire a killer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Paez filled out an online form explaining she wanted a hitman&nbsp;"to get something done once and for all” and the work should be&nbsp;completed by Thursday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Local reports have claimed that she agreed to pay $3,000 to kill her son. Robert Innes, who is the owner of the website, tipped off the Miami Dade Police.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Some reports said that the police didn't believe him and blew him off as they thought that no one can be that stupid. However, they took action against the woman after verifying the credibility of the information provided on the website.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After investigating the matter, authorities arrested Paez Tuesday night.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She appeared before a Miami-Dade County judge on Wednesday after she was arrested on Tuesday. She posted a bond of $15,000 and was later released from jail.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A report by CNN mentioned that the mother allegedly told police she was in a romantic relationship with an individual, and the person apparently didn't like the fact that she had a son and had broken up with Paez.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A Black man in the US who excels in disguising himself as a woman&nbsp;and carrying out loot at banks has turned out to be a massive headache for the FBI Violent Crime Task Force. He has so far attempted his fourth heist in less than two weeks, and a helpless FBI has now resorted to taking the matter to the public.</p>

<p>The media has dubbed Houston's notorious bank robber as the 'Sticky Note Bandit' because of his signature approach – he hands threatening notes to bank tellers, demanding cash. This unconventional method has garnered him quite a reputation among law enforcement and earned him the infamous nickname.</p>

<h2><strong>Four heist attempts in two weeks</strong></h2>

<p>The crime spree began on July 5 when the suspect targeted a Hancock Whitney bank and made off with an undisclosed sum of money. From there, he struck a Wells Fargo branch in east Houston, but his attempt was foiled when the quick-thinking teller locked himself up in the back room, leaving the bandit empty-handed.</p>

<p>However, the third robbery, which occurred at a Wells Fargo bank in southwest Houston, proved successful for the criminal, netting him an unknown amount of cash.</p>

<p>The fourth attempt came Tuesday morning at 11:45 AM at the Bank of America, located at 4301 San Felipe Street.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Who is the mysterious Sticky Note Bandit?</strong></h2>

<p>The suspect managed to elude capture, maintaining an air of mystery by consistently dressing as a woman during the heists.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Witnesses described him as a Black male, approximately 5'8" tall, with a thin to medium build.&nbsp;</p>

A Black man in the US who excels in disguising himself as a woman and carrying out loot at banks has turned out to be a massive headache for the FBI Violent Crime Task Force.

A Black man in the US who excels in disguising himself as a woman and carrying out loot at banks has turned out to be a massive headache for the FBI Violent Crime Task Force. He has so far attempted his fourth heist in less than two weeks, and a helpless FBI has now resorted to taking the matter to the public. The media has dubbed Houston's notorious bank robber as the 'Sticky Note Bandit' because of his signature approach – he hands threatening notes to bank tellers, demanding cash. This unconventional method has garnered him quite a reputation among law enforcement and earned him the infamous nickname. Four heist attempts in two weeks The crime spree began on July 5 when the suspect targeted a Hancock Whitney bank and made off with an undisclosed sum of money. From there, he struck a Wells Fargo branch in east Houston, but his attempt was foiled when the quick-thinking teller locked himself up in the back room, leaving the bandit empty-handed. However, the third robbery, which occurred at a Wells Fargo bank in southwest Houston, proved successful for the criminal, netting him an unknown amount of cash. The fourth attempt came Tuesday morning at 11:45 AM at the Bank of America, located at 4301 San Felipe Street. Who is the mysterious Sticky Note Bandit? The suspect managed to elude capture, maintaining an air of mystery by consistently dressing as a woman during the heists. Witnesses described him as a Black male, approximately 5'8" tall, with a thin to medium build.

<p>Last year, there were a few reports about this aggressive sea otter, but the attacks have recently become more frequent.

<p>Experts remain uncertain about the reason behind Otter 841's surfboard-stealing tendencies. Otter 841 is well-known to local otter experts. Her mother was raised in captivity, released into the wild, and later recaptured when she started climbing onto kayaks in search of food. During her time in captivity, she gave birth to Otter 841, who was raised by humans at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.</p>

<p>A valuable collection of more than 700 gold coins, dating back to the period of the US Civil War, has been discovered in a cornfield in Kentucky. The collection, known as the "Great Kentucky Hoard," is now up for sale and is expected to fetch millions of dollars.</p>

<p>The coins were found earlier this year on a farm in the state of Kentucky, although the exact location and the identity of the person who made the discovery have not been disclosed.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>'Most insane thing ever'</strong></h2>

<p>The coins have been authenticated and graded by a reputable firm, and the company responsible for selling them has released a video showcasing the excavation process. In the video, the person unearthing the coins expresses astonishment, and can be heard saying, "This is the most insane thing ever."</p>

<p>A United Airlines flight en route from Houston to Amsterdam experienced an unexpected diversion to Chicago due to an unruly passenger in the business class section. The cause of the disruption is believed to be the passenger's dissatisfaction regarding the unavailability of his preferred meal choice.</p>

<p>The flight took off from George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston at 4:20 pm local time on Sunday. However, approximately two hours into the journey, while the aircraft was in Chicago airspace, the pilot was forced to divert to Chicago's O'Hare airport.</p>

<p>Flight tracking data from Flightradar24 revealed that the plane circled the airport as it had to decrease its fuel load through a process known as fuel dumping to ensure a safe landing without exceeding weight limits.</p>

<p>In a statement to the media, United Airlines confirmed that Flight 20 was diverted to O'Hare International Airport in response to a passenger disturbance. “United flight 20 from George Bush Intercontinental Airport to Amsterdam diverted to O’Hare International Airport and landed safely following a passenger disturbance. Law enforcement met the aircraft at the gate and escorted the passenger off the plane. The aircraft then continued to Amsterdam,” the statement read.</p>

<h2><strong>Flight delayed by three hours</strong></h2>

<p>The diversion caused the flight to arrive in Amsterdam over three hours later than the scheduled time. Instead of landing around 9:00 am local time, the plane touched down at approximately 12:30 pm. Typically, the Houston-to-Amsterdam flight has a duration of nine hours and 30 minutes.</p>
