An Arizona woman who pleaded guilty to murder in the starvation death of her 6-year-old son has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- An Arizona woman who pleaded guilty to murder in the starvation death of her 6-year- old son was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on Thursday after witnesses described the horrors of the tiny closet that reeked of urine where he and his young brother were kept and denied food. Elizabeth Archibeque's lawyer had asked that her sentence include the possibility of parole after 35 years partly because she had agreed to plead guilty to first-degree murder and child abuse in the 2020 death of Deshaun Martinez. But Coconino Superior Court Judge Ted Reed said that while her expression of remorse was genuine, her “heinous, cruel and depraved behavior” warranted imprisonment for “the rest of your natural life.” One police detective testified Thursday that she had never seen an...

The discovery sheds shocking new light on ancient ecosystems.   Conventional wisdom has always held that in prehistoric periods when early mammals lived alongside dinosaurs, that those mammals were generally meek and avoided their reptile overlords for fear of becoming prey. However, an incredibly rare fossil find has turned that theory on its head, in which a small mammal was perfectly preserved attacking a larger dinosaur. On Tuesday, researchers published findings stemming from the dramatic fossil, unearthed over a decade ago by farmers in the Chinese province of Liaoning. Dating back around 125 million years ago to the Cretaceous Period, the fossil shows a Repenomamus robustus, a four-legged mammal about the size of a cat, entangled with a two-legged, plant-eating Psittacosaurus lujiatunensis dinosaur, which was about four feet in length. Neither animal were believed to be full adults. But the positioning is unmistakably clear—the badger-like Repenomamus was perched on...

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said Sunday that record temperatures show "the climate change bomb has gone off" and Americans must push "further" and faster" for solutions The record-high temperatures recorded around the world show "the climate change bomb has gone off" and Americans must push "further and faster" for solutions -- including voting against "climate deniers" like former President Donald Trump -- Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said Sunday. "What the scientific community is telling us now is that the Earth is screaming at us," Inslee said. In an interview with ABC "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz, Inslee, one of the Democratic Party's loudest voices on addressing climate , spoke gravely about the threat of a changing world: "The fuse has been burning for decades, and now the climate change bomb has gone off. The scientists are telling us that this is the new age. This is the age of consequence...

Short-video app TikTok on Thursday opened up its research software to researchers in Europe ahead of new EU rules requiring Big Tech to do more to police online content.

U.S. climate envoy John Kerry has told China's top diplomat that President Joe Biden's administration is “very committed" to stabilizing relations between the world's two biggest economies BEIJING -- U.S. climate envoy John Kerry told China’s top diplomat on Tuesday that President Joe Biden’s administration is “very committed” to stabilizing relations between the world’s two biggest economies, as the countries seek to restart high-level contacts. On his second day of talks in Beijing, Kerry met with the ruling Communist Party’s head of foreign relations Wang Yi, telling him Biden hoped the two countries could “achieve efforts together that can make a significant difference to the world.” Ties between the countries have hit a historic low amid disputes over tariffs, access to technology, human rights and China’s threats against self-governing Taiwan. In his opening remarks, Wang said the sides had suffered from a lack of communication, but that China believes through...
