“He said, ‘You know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all, so when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you,'” Lesley Stahl said.

“60 Minutes” reporter Lesley Stahl raised some eyebrows at the annual Deadline Club Awards dinner on Monday, telling PBS anchor Judy Woodruff that President Donald Trump once admitted to her that his whole rationale for attacking the media was to help him deflect bad press. “He said, ‘You know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all, so when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you,'” Stahl said. “He said that. So put that in your head for a minute.” Stahl...

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A class-action lawsuit is seeking for Idaho public schools to repay the fees that many districts have charged students for classes, supplies and activities. The lawsuit filed earlier this month in federal court claims the fees amount to "a form of coercion to pay for essential and normal elements of a free public education," the Idaho Statesman reported Monday. The suit focuses on the supply costs and other fees related to specific classes. Among the claims, the suit states that... Читать дальше...

SEATTLE (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union and other privacy advocates are asking Amazon to stop marketing a powerful facial recognition tool to police, saying law enforcement agencies could use the technology to "easily build a system to automate the identification and tracking of anyone." The tool, called Rekognition, is already being used by at least one agency — the Washington County Sheriff's Office in Oregon — to check photographs of unidentified suspects against a database of mug shots from the county jail...

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott convened the first in a series of discussions on school safety Tuesday, declaring in response to last week's shooting near Houston, "We all want guns out of the hands of people who would try to murder our children." The governor called the meetings after the attack on Santa Fe High School, where eight students and two teachers were slain Friday in an art classroom. The initial gathering involved school districts that arm some teachers or hire local police for security.

LONDON (AP) — Polish novelist Olga Tokarczuk has won the prestigious Man Booker International Prize for fiction with "Flights," a novel that charts multiple journeys in time, space and human anatomy. The book combines tales of modern-day travel with the story of a 17th-century anatomist who dissected his own amputated leg and the journey of composer Frederic Chopin's heart from Paris to Warsaw after his death.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Acknowledging the unlikelihood of his re-election, Brazil's deeply unpopular president on Tuesday said he wasn't running and endorsed his former finance minister for the top office less than five months before voters in Latin America's largest nation pick a new leader. President Michel Temer's decision to back former Finance Minister Henrique Meirelles came after months of weighing whether to run himself. Temer's approval rating has consistently been below 10 percent — at one point it reached 3 percent ... Читать дальше...

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina Democratic legislators say creating a legal method by which someone found to be an imminent threat to hurt themselves or others would have to surrender their guns temporarily is a common-sense way to prevent mass shootings and suicides. Several lawmakers and gun-control advocates visiting the Legislative Building promoted legislation Tuesday that would allow a District Court judge to issue "extreme risk protection orders." A family member or law enforcement agency could seek the order against someone. Читать дальше...

Houston coach Mike D’Antoni may not have been serious. Maybe he was just trying to ease the mood around his team. But he was dead wrong Monday when he declared that “the pressure’s all on them.” The Warriors won’t feel an ounce of pressure in this game. They’ve got a 2-1 series lead, they’re on a 16-game playoff winning streak at home, and they’re used to performing at peak capacity in big games. There’s some urgency to Andre Iguodala’s likely absence and how the Warriors replace him, but you get the feeling they’ll find a way.

Unreal. Lifetime’s “unReal” is no longer Lifetime’s “unReal” — it is now Hulu’s “unReal,” multiple people with knowledge of a new first-run deal between A+E and the subscriber video-on-demand (SVOD) service tell TheWrap. The scripted look at the behind-the-scenes chaos surrounding the production of a dating competition program has shifted from a cable show with a second-run window on SVOD to just a straight-up SVOD series (yes, with a second run on cable). At least it has done so for Season 4, which two of our sources tell us will be its last.
