WARSAW, Poland (AP) — U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday embraced calls for an international war crimes investigation of Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, citing the “atrocities” of bombing civilians, including a maternity hospital.

Speaking alongside Polish President Andrzej Duda at a press conference in Warsaw, where she is demonstrating U.S. support for NATO’s eastern flank allies, Harris expressed outrage over the bombing Wednesday of the maternity hospital & scenes of bloodied pregnant women being evacuated, as well as other attacks on civilians. She stopped short of directly accusing Russia of having committed war crimes.

“Absolutely there should be an investigation & we should all be watching,” said Harris, noting that the United Nations has already started a process to review allegations. “I have no question the eyes of the world are on this war & what Russia has done in terms of this aggression & these atrocities.”

Harris’ visit to Poland came amid a kerfuffle between Warsaw and Washington over a Polish proposal to send its Soviet-made fighter jets to a U.S. and NATO base in Germany so they could then go to Ukraine. Poland, in turn, would receive American F-16s.

Poland had publicly floated the proposal without first consulting the U.S. Just as Harris arrived in Warsaw late Wednesday, the Pentagon definitively rejected the idea, saying it would run the risk of escalating the Russia-Ukraine war.

At Thursday’s news conference, both Harris & Duda sought to brush aside differences on the fighter jets issue.

“I want to be very clear, the United States & Poland are united in what we have done & are prepared to do to help Ukraine & the people of Ukraine, full stop,” she said.

In a matter of weeks, COVID-19 pandemic fears in Europe have given way to another concern that nightmares are made of: the possibility that Russia could use a nuclear weapon.

Since Russia's unprovoked attack on Ukraine, U.S. and overseas manufacturers of residential bunkers say they've seen a spike in customer inquiries and orders — a surge they attribute to the war in Eastern Europe and Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision late last month to put his country's nuclear forces on alert.

Gary Lynch, general manager of Rising S Company, a residential bunker builder based in Murchison, Texas, said he recently started receiving inquiries from prospective customers in Italy, Romania, Sweden and the U.K., in addition to the U.S. and Canada.

"We've got a world superpower threatening to use nuclear weapons; that alone is enough to be scary," he told CBS MoneyWatch.

Manufacturers say the pre-fab shelters will withstand exposure to chemical, biological and nuclear attacks. Some use a steel frame strong enough to resist earthquakes and include bullet-resistant doors. The highest-end models — which can cost millions of dollars — may include air filtration systems, solar charging stations, fresh water inlets, waste removal tanks and infrared security.

Rising S makes bunkers in a local factory and ships them overseas. Over a recent 10-day period, Lynch said he got 1,600 inquiries from people interested in an underground shelter where they could take refuge in the event of a nuclear incident. That compares with the two to six calls he normally would have fielded over that same span of time from consumers looking to build a panic room or secure storage spaces for weapons or valuables.

Forty of those customer inquiries led to sales of bunkers ranging in price from $60,000 to around $200,000, including installation.

Interest in residential bunkers is coming from people across the income ladder. Mathieu Séranne, founder of Artemis Protection, a Paris-based company that sells and installs luxury, prefabricated bunkers for a variety of uses, said he's noticed a similar uptick in interest for his company's products.

Before the war, Séranne's 1-year-old company primarily worked with wealthy clients, but interest in shelters is now pouring in from people of various income levels in Finland, France, Poland, Russia, the U.S. and Canada, he told CBS MoneyWatch. That includes inquiries from entrepreneurs, a doctor, a postal worker and an Amazon worker, among others.

Jussie Smollett wants a do-over in court, he's asking for a new trial in Chicago and taking issue with the initial jury selection process -- but he'd also willing to accept a not-guilty verdict.

The actor's defense team just filed new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, asking the judge to reverse the verdict and find him not guilty of disorderly conduct for faking a police report ... or at least give him a new trial.

Remember ... a jury in Illinois decided Jussie was lying to cops about being the victim of a homophobic and racist attack. The jurors found the "Empire" actor guilty of 5 of the 6 felony counts against him, including disorderly conduct charges or allegedly providing a false report to cops.

In the docs, Jussie claims the court violated his constitutional rights when it prevented his defense team from actively participating in the jury selection process.

Jussie claims his lawyers were not allowed to ask questions of potential jurors ... and his defense claims the jury pool for the high-profile case was tainted.

He's also claiming prosecutors showed a pattern of racism in selecting jurors.

In the docs, Jussie's defense also claims the judge wrongfully barred the media and public from the courtroom ... and he says prosecutors pressured witnesses to give false testimony.

That's not all ... Jussie's legal team also says the judge wrongfully limited the defense questioning of witnesses.

Jussie's legal team signaled an appeal was coming after the verdict was reached back in December ... and now they've followed through.

The Supreme Court reinstated the death sentence for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who attacked the Boston Marathon in 2013, in a decision announced Friday.

It was a 6-3 decision, with the opinion written by Justice Clarence Thomas. Justices Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor dissented.

"Dzhokhar Tsarnaev committed heinous crimes. The Sixth Amendment nonetheless guaranteed him a fair trial before an impartial jury. He received one. The judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit is reversed," Thomas wrote in the decision.

Breyer in the dissent said Tsarnaev should have been allowed to present evidence that his older brother Tamerlan had previously committed three brutal murders to bolster his case that he "radicalized him."

President Joe Biden has been presented with a menu of options for the U.S. to carry out massive cyberattacks designed to disrupt Russia’s ability to sustain its military operations in Ukraine, 4 people familiar with the deliberations tell NBC News.

Two U.S. intelligence officials, one Western intelligence official & another person briefed on the matter say no final decisions have been made, but they say U.S. intelligence & military cyber warriors are proposing the use of American cyberweapons on a scale never before contemplated. Among the options: disrupting internet connectivity across Russia, shutting off electric power, & tampering with railroad switches to hamper Russia’s ability to resupply its forces.

“You could do everything from slow the trains down to have them fall off the tracks,” one person briefed on the matter said.

The sources said the options presented include pre-emptive responses to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, irrespective of whether Russian launches its own cyberattacks on the U.S. in retaliation for sanctions. They said most of the potential cyberattacks under consideration are designed to disrupt but not destroy & therefore fall short of an act of war by the United States against Russia. They say the idea is to harm networks, not people. Officials are debating the legal authorities under which the attacks would take place — whether they would be covert action or clandestine military activity. Either way, the U.S. would not publicly acknowledge carrying out the operations. U.S. Cyber Command, the National Security Agency, the CIA & other agencies would have a role to play in the operations.

“Our response will be harsh & measured, but not so severe as to encourage Putin to take more drastic steps,” one U.S. official said.

The person briefed on the matter said there was a significant divide within the U.S. government, with one camp fearful of escalating & another urging a strong cyber response.

Any use of cyberweapons to retaliate for the Russian invasion of Ukraine would be a turning point for U.S. cyber operations, which have largely been focused on intelligence gathering, information operations & targeted strikes, many of them for counterterrorism purposes. The most significant use of American cyber capability is believed to be the Stuxnet attack on the Iranian nuclear program from 2007 to 2010, which used computer malware to cause massive physical damage.

But the U.S. has been laying the groundwork for years for possible cyber operations against Russia, China & other adversaries, experts say. Those countries have done the same on American infrastructure networks.

“Cyberweapons are going to be used in a way we haven’t used other weapons,” said James Lewis, a cyber expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “It gives us options we didn’t have before.”

A teacher at a Miami-Dade County high school ended up behind bars after police said he allegedly tried to force a female student to kiss him after class.

Andy Barbosa-Morel, 40, was arrested Tuesday and charged with two counts, including child abuse and offenses against a student by an authority figure.

According to an arrest report, Barbosa approached the student during a Spanish class at Felix Varela High School on January 28th and began touching her leg. The student told police she was "creeped out" when the Barbosa did that and later when he was staring at her, the report said.

Later in the class, Barbosa allegedly came up from behind the student and grabbed her hair before jerking her head up and telling her in Spanish not to talk.

Barbosa allegedly asked the victim for a kiss after class. The student left the room and reported the incident to police, which was corroborated by other students who were in the class, the report said.

Barbosa was later interviewed by police and stated he didn't remember the incident, but didn't deny it occurred, the report said. He was taken into custody and booked into jail.

Miami-Dade County Public Schools issued a statement saying they were "deeply troubled" by the allegations.

"As soon as the claims surfaced, the employee was immediately removed from the school setting. Conduct such as the one he is accused of will not be tolerated," the district said in the statement. "As such, the District will initiate employment termination proceedings, and will ensure the individual is precluded from seeking future employment with the District."

Police have arrested a Florida couple, alleging that they physically abused their 13-year-old son & forced the teen to live in a garage for at least 5 years.

Tracy & Timothy Ferriter, both 46, were arrested in Jupiter, Fla., on charges of aggravated child abuse.

Detectives arrived at the Ferriters' home after Tracy reported her teen was missing.

When they arrived, police say, they noticed an 8-by-8 structure inside the garage that Tracy allegedly described as a small office.

Authorities noticed that the structure had a deadbolt that locked from the outside & that its light switch was only on the exterior of the structure. Inside the structure was a mattress, a sheet, some books & other personal items.

When the teen resurfaced at school the following day, he told officers that his parents locked him in the garage structure for up to 18 hours. When an officer asked the teen why he ran away, he allegedly told them, "because I feel like no one loves me."

The teen allegedly pleaded with officers to arrest him, telling them that "he would rather be in prison than be back at home." 

Detectives now allege that the Ferriters have been physically abusing & forcibly confining the teen to live in the garage structure since 2017.

The teen was permitted to attend school, but was locked up during the remainder of the day while at home. Meals were brought to him & a bucket was provided in lieu of a bathroom.

A search warrant served at the house revealed thousands of videos from a Ring camera that showed the teen locked inside the structure.

After the Ferriters were taken to jail, 3 other children living in the home were removed by Child Protective Services.

The Ferriters appeared in court on Wednesday morning. According to WPTV, their defense attorney, Nellie King, argued that the child — who had been adopted — suffered from reactive attachment disorder. King said that the disorder was a condition in which a child fails to form a healthy emotional bond with caretakers.

A judge has set the Ferriters' bond at $50,000 each & ordered them not to have contact with their children unless authorized by the Florida Department of Children and Families. They have pleaded not guilty.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The only criminal trial to arise from the botched police raid that left Breonna Taylor dead gets underway Friday as hundreds of potential jurors gather at a Louisville courthouse in what activists see as a chance for justice.

The former Louisville officer facing trial, Brett Hankison, was not charged in Taylor’s shooting death but is standing trial on three lower-level felony charges for allegedly firing his service weapon wildly into Taylor’s neighbors’ apartments during the March 13, 2020, raid.

Whatever the verdict, the trial could leave a bad taste in the mouth of protesters who took to the streets of Louisville for months chanting “Arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor” as part of racial injustice demonstrations that exploded across the country that year.

No officers were charged for the death of the 26-year-old Black woman and many see that as a tragedy, according to Shameka Parrish-Wright, a local organizer who was arrested at one of the Taylor protests.

“There are definitely people who want to see some form of justice and will take any piece of that,” said Parrish-Wright, who is running for Louisville mayor. Hankison’s trial “is a piece of that, but it’s not the original thing we set out for. We were asking for all those officers to be fired, arrested and prosecuted.”

Despite the lack of charges over Taylor’s death, her death has led to major changes. Louisville banned the use of so-called no-knock warrants like the one used in the deadly raid, and the governor signed a law limiting the use of such warrants throughout the state. The Louisville Metro Police Department underwent regime change after the raid, and there is an ongoing, broad federal investigation looking into possible racial biases within the department. The city also paid $12 million to settle Taylor’s mother’s wrongful death lawsuit.

But the two former officers who fired shots that struck Taylor were not charged. Myles Cosgrove, who state investigators said likely fired the fatal shot, was fired last January, months after Hankison was forced out. And Jonathan Mattingly, who was wounded in the leg by a bullet fired by Taylor’s boyfriend, retired last June.

Cosgrove, Mattingly and other officers who took part in the raid may testify in this trial, according to a motion filed by Hankison’s defense.

But Hankison’s trial “is not justice for Breonna,” said Amber Brown, who joined hundreds of days of protests in downtown Louisville on behalf of Taylor. Brown has since used her skills to start a nonprofit that organizes supervised safe play for children at city parks in low-income areas.

“Nothing that’s going on in that courtroom has anything really to do with Breonna,” Brown said. “He’s not being charged with the bullets that went into her body.”

She said she wouldn’t be surprised if Taylor’s name is barely mentioned at the trial.

A petition to free two Texas brothers and their friend accused of killing their stepfather for allegedly molesting their 9-year-old sister has passed 250k signatures.

On January 20, police in McAllen found 42-year-old Gabriel Quintanilla, who had suffered severe blunt trauma to the head.

His stepsons Alejandro and Christian Trevino, 18 and 17, and their 18-year-old friend Juan Eduardo Melendez are accused of beating him to death.

Pharr Police Chief Andy Harvey told reporters the brothers admitted there had been a fight after they discovered Quintanilla had sexually assaulted his own biological daughter.

"What they learned was that their stepdad had inappropriately touched his 9-year-old, which is their half-sister," he said.

When he was killed, Quintanilla had an arrest warrant from 2019 for continuous sexual assault of another, unrelated minor, from 2014 to 2016. Police had been unable to find and arrest him since then.

"He was being elusive obviously, and hiding from us. They did not catch him, we did not find him," Harvey said.

He added police were unaware of the sexual assault of the nine-year-old girl, which allegedly happened the night before Quintanilla was killed.

According to investigators, the brothers confronted their stepdad at his trailer park home, and a fight broke out, during which Quintanilla left the residence. Alejandro followed and another fight broke out; soon afterward, Christian and Juan Eduardo caught up to them, and "it becomes a three against one," Harvey said.

They left him "beaten up, but still conscious and walking," and left in a car; but the trio switched vehicles to a pickup truck, and came back looking for him again, the Captain said.

A third fight broke out, and this time Christian was armed with brass knuckles, Harvey said. "This time, they severely beat him, to the point where he is either unconscious, or close to it."

He said the trio loaded Quintanilla onto the back of the truck, and dumped him in a field; he was unconscious and breathing when police found him, but he died at the scene.

All three teens are now charged with aggravated assault, and engaging in organized criminal activity, while Christian and Juan Eduardo are also charged with capital murder, as investigators believe they delivered the fatal blows.

Chief Harvey said the charge was capital murder rather than just murder, because Quintanilla was technically kidnapped when he was taken in the truck, and the suspects had also stolen jewelry from him before leaving him to die.

All three are being held on a $1million bond.

As of Friday morning, a Change.org petition to Texas Governor Greg Abbott asking all three be released had already surpassed 250k signatures.

"If convicted of capital murder, they face a minimum sentence of life imprisonment without parole," it reads. "We ask that the state of Texas to release these teenagers, who could possibly spend the rest of their life in prison for protecting their sister."

CONROE, Texas (AP) — Former President Donald Trump is dangling the prospect of pardons for supporters who participated in the deadly Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol if he returns to the White House.

“If I run and if I win, we will treat those people from January 6th fairly,” Trump said Saturday night during a rally in Conroe, Texas. “And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons because they are being treated so unfairly.”

The offer represents an attempt by Trump to further minimize the most significant attack on the seat of government since the War of 1812. Participants smashed through windows, assaulted police officers and sent lawmakers and congressional staff fleeing for their lives while trying to halt the peaceful transition of power and the certification of rival Joe Biden’s victory.

More than 700 people have been arrested and charged with federal crimes in connection with the riot, marking the largest investigation in the Justice Department’s history. The tally includes more than 150 people charged with assaulting police officers, more than 50 charged with conspiracy, and charges of seditious conspiracy against the founder and leader of the far-right Oath Keepers militia group, and 10 other members or associates.

More than 100 police officers were injured, some critically, after Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, following a “Stop the Steal” rally by Trump near the White House in which he falsely claimed Biden had won election through massive voter fraud.

Two Republican senators on Sunday criticized Trump’s suggestion of pardons as inappropriate. Maine Sen. Susan Collins, one of seven GOP senators who backed an unsuccessful bid to convict Trump on impeachment charges for his role in stoking the Jan. 6 riot, said it would be “very unlikely” she would support him if he ran in 2024.

“January 6th was a dark day in our history,” she told ABC’s “This Week.” “We should let the judicial process proceed.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., rejected Trump’s comments as sending a wrong message that it’s OK to defile the Capitol. For the Jan. 6 offenders, “I hope they go to jail and get the book thrown at them, because they deserve it,” Graham told CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

As president, Trump used his pardon power to pardon or commute the sentences of numerous political allies, friends and associates, including his former chief strategist, Steve Bannon; his former campaign chair, Paul Manafort; his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn; and a longtime friend and political ally, Roger Stone.

Trump has criticized the Democrat-led House for its ongoing investigation of the riot.

While his supporters overran the Capitol on Jan. 6, Trump ignored desperate pleas from allies to forcefully disavow the attack and has repeatedly praised those who participated in the protest.

“It was a lot of love there,” he said recently of those who attended the rally in an interview on Fox News. “Believe me, there was a lot of love and a lot of friendship and people that love our country.”

Trump, who was impeached by the House for his role in inciting the insurrection but acquitted by the Senate, has been teasing a third run for the White House in 2024.
