- Social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate vowed Monday to fight extradition to the United Kingdom after appearing in federal court in Miami on rape, sex trafficking and other charges.
The brothers, who were arrested Saturday by U.S. Marshals in Florida, appeared before a federal magistrate wearing tan jail uniforms and handcuffs. U.S. Magistrate Judge Lauren Louis scheduled another hearing for next Monday, while a U.S. district judge will ultimately decide whether they can be extradited.
"Our clients are innocent men," attorney Joseph McBride told the court, calling the allegations "filth and slander." He has said he expects the extradition request to be denied.
The arrests stem from a Bedfordshire Police investigation in England. British authorities recently authorized 38 new charges involving four additional alleged victims, bringing the total number of charges the brothers face in the U.K. to 59.

- Eleven New Yorkers have been charged in what Attorney General Todd Blanche called one of the largest marriage fraud prosecutions in U.S. history.
Blanche said the defendants arranged more than 1,000 sham marriages between foreign nationals, mostly from China, and Americans over the course of at least a decade.
Blanche said the defendants, mostly naturalized citizens from China, built a “multimillion-dollar cottage industry” to obtain fraudulent green cards for foreigners and “skirt the immigration laws of the United States.”
The indictment comes out of the Southern District of New York, but federal prosecutors allege the defendants arranged sham marriages throughout the U.S., including Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida.

In the United States, eclipse visibility is stretching from Alaska to North Carolina, though no part of the country will experience totality. The amount of the Sun covered by the Moon varied by location, with the eclipse generally appearing deeper farther to the northeast.

- President Donald Trump on Monday signed and announced an executive order that will reshape federal childhood vaccination recommendations, an event the White House livestreamed.
During the signing event, Trump said the administration is announcing what he called the “United States of America's Gold Standard Childhood Vaccination Recommendations.” Trump said the recommendations involve several subjects, “including autism in particular.”
Some policy details being reported about the order come from draft versions obtained by CBS News and CNN, rather than a final published copy of the signed order. The draft executive order obtained by CBS News does not mention autism, despite Trump’s remarks during the event.
Extensive scientific research has found no evidence that vaccines cause autism. Still, Trump has pushed federal health officials to investigate possible links between vaccines and autism, despite extensive scientific research finding no...

- Description
- At Natchez Elementary, teachers say their job goes far beyond reading, writing and math.
Located on the Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation about 40 miles northeast of Reno, the small elementary school is working to improve academic outcomes while also helping students overcome challenges that often begin before they ever walk through the classroom door.
The school serves about 135 students from pre-K through fifth grade. While proficiency scores remain below the state average, Natchez saw one of the largest improvements in its Nevada School Performance Framework rating over the past year.
School leaders say that progress started with changing the way they approach instruction.
“Coming out of COVID, we just said that we’ve got to do something different out here. We can’t keep doing the same things and expect different results,” Principal Jake Chapin said.
The school leaned into the science of reading, investing in pro...

- Sparks fire station reopens after staffing issues

- Description
- The city of Sparks reopened Fire Station 6, located at 6963 Scheidbar Road on August 5.
The station had been temporarily unstaffed while the city evaluated response and deployment data. Authorities say all fire stations in the city are open and operational.
Officials say the reopening of Station 6 is made possible, in part, by the recently approved interlocal agreement between the cities of Sparks and Reno, which allows the two fire departments to work together under the shared leadership of Chief Dave Cochran while remaining separate organizations.
The goal of the agreement is to allow the closest available fire crews to respond to emergencies, regardless of city boundaries.
"I am very excited about the reopening of Fire Station 6," Sparks Mayor Ed Lawson said in a statement. "We're making smarter use of the resources we already have to improve coverage and response times for our residents. This regional response partnership with Ren...

- Prescribed burns, fuel reduction key to giant sequoia survival rates, UNR researchers find

- Description
- Back in 2020, the devastating Castle Fire swept through California, killing hundreds of mature, giant sequoias in its path.
The blaze prompted experts from UNR to examine how these larger-than-life beasts can better withstand future fires. Their answer?
"Prescribed fire or tree thinning or different types of fuel reduction," said Bryant Nagelson, UNR staff researcher.
Nagelson and Sarah Bisbing, an Associate Professor of Forestry at UNR, teamed up with fellow experts to study the Mountain Home Demonstration State Forest, located in the southern Sierra Nevada. It's home to the world's largest giant sequoia grove.
They found that land treated ahead of the Castle Fire, whether by state foresters or Indigenous people, cut the number of sequoia deaths in half.
"Fire can move through the forest floor. It can burn everything, and it hits the sequoia, and the sequoia's bark is so thick, and the trees are so large, and the needles...
