Dozens killed, buildings toppled after powerful earthquake hits Mexico
A major earthquake of magnitude 7.1 struck central Mexico, toppling dozens of buildings in the heavily populated capital and killing at least 49 people nearby.
President Enrique Pena said 27 buildings had collapsed in Mexico City, one of the world's biggest cities. The first reports of fatalities were from surrounding areas.
In the state of Morelos, just south of Mexico City, 42 people died, the state's governor said. Authorities reported other deaths in neighbouring Puebla and the State of Mexico.
Television images showed a multi-storey building in the capital with a middle floor collapsed as sirens blared and first responders rushed to the scene. Other video showed the side of a government building shearing off and falling into the street as bystanders screamed.
Donald Trump, in UN debut, says US may have to 'totally destroy' North Korea
US President Donald Trump said the United States will be forced to "totally destroy" North Korea unless Pyongyang backs down from its nuclear challenge, mocking North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a "rocket man" on a suicide mission.
Loud murmurs filled the green-marbled UN General Assembly hall when Trump issued his sternest warning yet to North Korea, whose ballistic missile launches and nuclear tests have rattled the globe.
Unless North Korea backs down, he said, "We will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea."
"Rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and his regime," he added.
John McCain urges end to 100-hour work weeks in Navy after collisions
US Senator John McCain called for an immediate stop to US sailors working over 100 hours a week as top Navy leaders struggled to explain a series of fatal naval collisions in the past few months.
Earlier this month, the Government Accountability Office government watchdog said that a reduction in crew sizes was contributing to safety risks, with some sailors working over 100 hours a week.
The guided missile destroyer John S. McCain, named after the Senator McCain's father and grandfather, suffered significant damage and 10 sailors were killed when it collided with a tanker east of the Straits of Malacca and Singapore on Aug 21.
Today's US teens about three years behind 1970s generation
Teenagers in America today are about three years behind their counterparts from the 1970s when it comes to taking up sex, drinking alcohol and working for pay, researchers said on Tuesday.
The findings in the journal Child Development were based on an analysis of seven large, nationally representative surveys of 8.3 million teenagers between 1976 and 2016.
The surveys sought to find out how those aged 13 to 19 spent their time, and how often they engaged in adult activities such as drinking alcohol, dating, taking jobs, driving, or having sex, said the report.
Football: Liverpool knocked out of League Cup by Leicester
Leicester City grabbed second-half goals through Shinji Okazaki and record signing Islam Slimani to earn a 2-0 victory over Liverpool in the League Cup third round on Tuesday.
Liverpool's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was given his first start by manager Juergen Klopp following his move from Arsenal, while Phillipe Coutinho was also in the lineup at the King Power Stadium where the visitors dominated play before the interval.
Coutinho was instrumental in eight-times League cup winners Liverpool's superiority but he went off at halftime with the score still level and after the break Liverpool paid dearly for failing to take their chances.
