Former President Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, have sat down for at least 63 interviews since the Harris-Walz ticket was formed, compared to at least 24 non-scripted interviews for the Democratic presidential ticket thus far.After weeks of avoiding interviews, Vice President Kamala Harris has stepped up her appearances in recent weeks, largely by sitting down with allies. Harris spoke with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhlefor her first one-on-one network interview since becoming the nominee. Harris added a pair of taped local interviews with Atlanta and Pittsburgh news stations on Tuesday and also taped an interview on Tuesday with the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, which has Spotify's highest female audience. It will air next week.Harris also taped an appearance on the "All the Smoke" podcast hosted by former NBA players Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes. On a similar sports front, Trump was interviewed by OutKick's Clay Travis while attending the Georgia-Alabama football game on Saturday and also was interviewed by Fox News' Bill Melugin on Thursday.HARRIS CAMPAIGN PLEDGES MORE MEDIA INTERVIEWS AS VOTERS STILL HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT HER POLICIESIn recent days, Wisconsin Public Radio interviewed Harris where she announced that she supports removing the filibuster in order to pass abortion rights legislation, and she has also spoken to Wired, a Spanish radio host and the National Association of Black Journalists.Harris was also interviewed by Action News 6 ABC last month in Philadelphia, which came on the heels of a report that her campaign is looking for her to do more local interviews in swing states like Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, Trump has been all over and sat down with "Full Measure" journalist Sharyl Attkisson last week for an interview in which he made news by suggesting he will not run again in four years if he loses to Harris in November. Trump also recently sat down for an interview with Fox News contributor and Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen, joined Fox News late-night show "Gutfeld!" for an extended appearance, and he spoke with Fox's Brian Kilmeade last week as well. Vance has done dozens of interviews since the Harris-Walz ticket formed on Aug. 6, including multiple Sunday show appearances and interviews with CNN, Fox News and ABC in the aftermath of the ABC News Presidential Debate between Trump and Harris last month. He was interviewed on the popular "Ruthless" podcast on Thursday.Vance sat down with Fox News host Sean Hannity live from the spin room on Tuesday night following the CBS News Vice Presidential Debate, where he addressed Harris' lack of availability. "She doesn’t answer for anything because she refuses to answer to sit down for interviews," Vance said. Vance also recently spoke with Time magazine for a lengthy cover profile, and he spoke with an NBC affiliate in Philadelphia. Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, has begun doing more local interviews, speaking with Georgia, Wisconsin and North Carolina TV stations in recent weeks. He spoke with MSNBC and ABC after last month's debate, and he was interviewed by Michigan station Fox 17.Harris also taped two radio interviews with Uforia, the audio network of TelevisaUnivision, and Rickey Smiley, host of the nationally syndicated "Rickey Smiley Show." She also called into "Afternoon Vibes with Ms. Jessica," another radio program.Walz also spoke to WCMU radio in Michigan, in addition to speaking with "The Morning News with Nancy Kman and Jason Barsky" on WILK in Pennsylvania and "The Chad Holmes Show" on WXCO in Wisconsin.HARRIS-TRUMP SHOWDOWN: NEW POLLS INDICATE WHO HAS THE EDGE IN THE BLUE WALL BATTLEHarris and Walz ended an extended interview drought in August when they were interviewed jointly by CNN's Dana Bash in Georgia.Since Aug. 6, when the Harris-Walz ticket was formed, Trump has also spoken with, among others, Fox News, NBC News, The Daily Mail, Hugh Hewitt, the New York Post and local outlets like WBRE News Wilkes-Barre and WLOS News 13 Asheville, as well as podcaster Lex Fridman and X owner Elon Musk.Harris still has not held a formal press conference since replacing President Biden as the Democratic nominee.This report has been updated with additional interviews from both tickets.Fox News Digital's Joseph A. Wulfsohn contributed to this report. 

Vice President Kamala Harris has gone 76 days as the presumptive, and now, official Democratic nominee for president without holding an official press conference. Trump has held six news conferences where he took questions from the media since the beginning of August, including another on Friday after meeting with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp about hurricane relief efforts.President Biden also held a news conference in the White House press briefing room on Friday, where he joked about getting back into the 2024 race.BERNIE SANDERS SAYS HARRIS DROPPING FAR-LEFT POLICIES ‘IN ORDER TO WIN THE ELECTION’Harris has stepped up her interviews in recent weeks, including doing radio hits and a solo sit-down with a Philadelphia TV station. She also spoke to MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle and she made time to hang out with supporter Oprah Winfrey last month at a star-studded campaign event. This week she taped an interview on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast.But as for when she'll actually do a formal press conference as a candidate, that day may never come, at least while she's still a candidate.Conservative Radio Libre host Jorge Bonilla feels Harris should do a press conference but said it’s almost "irrelevant" because she continues to get a pass. HARRIS DODGES QUESTION ON LOWERING PRICES BY DESCRIBING ‘MIDDLE-CLASS’ ROOTS: NEIGHBORS ‘PROUD OF THEIR LAWN’"She is highly unlikely to do a press conference because the media have enabled and encouraged her ‘plexiglass basement’ strategy, wherein she preserves the illusion of being out there while remaining wholly inaccessible to the press and therefore unaccountable," Bonilla told Fox News Digital.In her interview in Philadelphia, her answer citing her middle-class upbringing when asked about specifics of her economic policy drew sharp criticism.BARBARA WALTERS WOULD EXPECT KAMALA HARRIS TO DO INTERVIEWS, AUTHOR SAYS: 'PART OF THE JOB OF BEING PRESIDENT'"You know, I grew up in a neighborhood of folks who were very proud of their lawn," she said. "And I was raised to believe and to know that all people deserve dignity, and that we as Americans have a beautiful character. You know, we have ambitions and aspirations and dreams, but not everyone necessarily has access to the resources that can help them fuel those dreams and ambitions. "So when I talk about building an opportunity economy, it is very much with the mind of investing in the ambitions and aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the American people and creating opportunity for people, for example, to start a small business."Fox News Digital’s Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report. 

Jesse Watters highlights how President Biden appeared in the White House briefing room for the first time right when Vice President Kamala Harris was about to speak on the port strike suspension in Michigan.BIDEN SAYS HE AND KAMALA HARRIS ARE ‘SINGING FROM THE SAME SONG SHEET’- AS SHE TRIES DISTANCING HERSELFJESSE WATTERS: It was the first time Biden ever set foot in the briefing room as president. The press was stunned. Peter Doocy's wig fell off, and every channel in America cut straight to it.And Kamala Harris was about to go on TV and take credit for ending the port strike. And Biden looked and said, oh no, you don't and big footed her. Biden wanted full credit. He's a lame duck, but even lame ducks care about their legacy. If you're the Harris campaign, it's like Biden is haunting you from the grave. Since the coup, Biden hasn't left his room for 43 days. He's gone 43 days without anybody laying eyes on him. There's a ghost in the White House. And in 15 minutes, that ghost spooked the Harris campaign. Biden just said Kamala is responsible for the last four years. That is gonna to hurt. Seeing Biden again brought back memories. Biden and the press were catching up on all of their favorite topics.

Two Republican senators are calling for the Biden administration to appoint a military leader to lead the recovery effort in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, as some lawmakers continue to criticize the federal government's response to the storm. In a joint statement, Republican Sens. Thom Tillis and Ted Budd, both of North Carolina, issued a joint statement Friday evening concerning the response operations.  BIDEN GETS DEFENSIVE WHEN PUSHED ON WHO'S ‘COMMANDING’ HURRICANE HELENE RESPONSE"Our National Guard and local, state, and federal first responders on the ground have been working tirelessly to respond to this disaster with the resources they have," the statement reads. "Given the unprecedented extent of the devastation and complexity of search and rescue operations, it would be helpful to assign an active-duty military leader who has extensive experience with operations of this magnitude to lead moving forward."The Biden administration has come under for a purportedly inadequate response to the devastation left by Helene. As of Friday, the death toll in southeastern states hit hardest by the storm has risen past 224, with more than 100 dead in western North Carolina alone. BUTTIGIEG'S MESSAGE ON RESTRICTING CIVILIAN DRONES NEAR HURRICANE HELENE DAMAGE PROMPTS OUTCRY, CLARIFICATIONThe White House has said that Biden has coordinated the federal response, including approving emergency declarations and deploying 1,000 active-duty soldiers to support search-and-rescue efforts. More than 4,800 personnel from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other agencies have been deployed to North Carolina and neighboring states impacted by Helene. FEMA Director Deanne Criswell was on the ground in North Carolina on Friday, saying the military was delivering food and water to residents from distribution centers. Additionally, FEMA has shipped over 8.5 million meals, more than 7 million liters of water, 150 generators and over 220,000 tarps to aid response efforts, according to the White House.As of Friday, the federal government has provided more than $45 million in Individual Assistance to survivors impacted by the storm, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, including in the form of one-time $750 payments from FEMA to qualified applicants in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. Fox News Digital has reached out to FEMA and the White House. Fox News Digital's Chris Pandolfo contributed to this report. 

Second gentleman Doug Emhoff's representative called a Daily Mail report detailing three unnamed sources who accused him of having slapped a former girlfriend during a 2012 trip to the Cannes Film Festival "untrue." Fox News Digital has not been able to independently confirm the allegations. "This report is untrue," an unnamed representative for Vice President Kamala Harris' husband told news outlet Semafor. "Any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a woman is false."Daily Mail reporter Josh Boswell appeared on "Jesse Watters Primetime" and outlined the claims that Emhoff slapped his then-girlfriend in 2012. "The process that I went through was extremely thorough and careful about this, because you're right, we're on the eve of an election, but the thing that made these sources come forward is not because there's an election, but because the Kamala Harris campaign was using Doug Emhoff, showing him as this feminist ally, baking up his credentials as an ally to women and that just enraged them," Boswell said. "I quoted one of them in the piece saying this, that she thought that it was disgusting, that they were portraying him this way, when in fact, these friends knew what had really happened." TRUMP TARGETS BIDEN, HARRIS OVER FEDERAL RESPONSE TO HURRICANE: ‘INCOMPETENTLY MANAGED’The woman who was allegedly slapped is described by the Daily Mail as a successful New York attorney and is identified only by the pseudonym "Jane." The incident was alleged to have occurred in 2012 while Emhoff and Jane were in a valet line at a Cannes Film Festival in Nice, France.    "Jane got into a cab. The valet, either with €100 that she slipped him or the fact that there was this domestic dispute going on apparently, ushered her into a car, but then Doug forced his way in too," Boswell recalled the alleged story. "That's what the friends told me. That's when she got really scared. Jane called her male friend who was in New York at the time. So, it was kind of bedtime for him, but he took this call, and she told him what had happened. The next day she questioned Doug about it, and he seemed to be completely nonchalant about it. He used some tennis metaphor because he's into tennis. So, Jane slapped him back when he slapped her, and she slapped him back twice like this, one with each hand. Doug said, 'You got one down the line and across the court. So, it's no big deal.' That's all he had to say about it, and so Jane, of course, immediately broke up with him and never saw him again. They left. They went home separately. " The allegation was made to the Daily Mail by three people who described themselves as Jane's friends and who shared their recollections of the incident, along with travel itineraries and correspondence between Jane and Emhoff to corroborate the story. All three requested anonymity out of fear of potential retaliation from Emhoff.  "Those sources were each independently talking to us and their accounts closely corroborated each other," Boswell said. "So, that's part of what gave me the confidence in this story. "One friend said Jane told her about the alleged incident at the time.  "He hauled up and slapped her so hard she spun around," the source is quoted as saying. "She said she was in utter shock. She was so furious, she slapped him on one side, and then on the other cheek with the other hand." Another friend — described by the Daily Mail as a New York businessman — also gave his recollection of the alleged slap. "It was very clear what she was telling me," that source said, according to the Daily Mail. "She said she was with a guy, her date, she was at the Cannes Film Festival, and he hit her. She was in the car with the guy at the time." A third friend, described as a female executive, told the Daily Mail that she learned of the alleged incident in 2014, and purportedly found out new details from Jane in 2018, when Harris, then a senator from California, made headlines with her questioning of a Supreme Court nominee who had been accused of sexual assault. The third source said that she had asked Jane if Emhoff had ever apologized and was told that he had not, but that "he commented about the hit she gave him. It was a tennis metaphor. But no apology at all." According to the Daily Mail's sources, Jane and Emhoff had been dating for about three months…

Davante Adams has been a hot topic in the NFL this week. The three-time All-Pro wide receiver told the Las Vegas Raiders he preferred to be traded, NFL Media reported Oct. 1. Although no deal appears imminent, Adams' apparent displeasure with his situation in Las Vegas has multiple teams at least thinking about adding the star receiver to their rosters with a potential trade.The New York Jets are one of the teams mentioned as a possible landing spot for Adams because of the relationship he's maintained with his former teammate, Aaron Rodgers. Adams and Rodgers formed one of the NFL's more formidable quarterback-receiver duos when they were teammates in Green Bay for eight seasons.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMRodgers recently addressed the rumors linking Adams to the Jets, but he prefaced his comments by saying he wasn’t sure how much he could say because of the NFL's tampering rules. But he clearly indicated his preference when it comes to a potential reunion."I still have a close friendship with him," Rodgers said. "We spend a lot of time in the offseason together. He’s a great guy and a great player. The rest of that is out of my hands."SAINTS QB DEREK CARR 'WOULD LOVE' TO REUNITE WITH FORMER TEAMMATE DAVANTE ADAMSWhen asked about how a player might benefit from a change of scenery, Rodgers responded, "The grass is green where you water it. ... You can make a special situation out of being anywhere."This was not the first time Rodgers spoke highly of Adams since the four-time MVP quarterback joined the Jets. During a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe in July, Rodgers said, "I love Davante Adams. I can't wait to play with him ... again."The recent trade report involving the star wideout surfaced shortly after Raiders coach Antonio Pierce appeared to like a social media post that hinted Adams could be included in a trade package.During one of Adams' routine appearances on FanDuel TV's "Up & Adams," he confirmed he had not "heard from" his head coach after the post began making its rounds across social media."I keep my head down and keep doing my thing and let the chips fall where they may as it pertains to that," Adams said. "But there's been no communication with anybody from the team since that (post) became a thing," the six-time Pro Bowler said."All I can control is this talk we're having right here."Adams has been ruled out of the Raiders Week 5 game against the Denver Broncos as he continues to work his way through a hamstring injury.If Adams is traded this season, a deal will have to be in place by the league's trade deadline, which is Nov. 5 at 4 p.m. ET.The Associated Press contributed to this report. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Sleep is known to have amazing health benefits – but how much shuteye is too much?The answer isn’t so straightforward, Dr. Chris Winter, a Virginia-based neurologist and sleep medicine specialist with Mattress Firm, told Fox News Digital."This is to some degree an impossible question to answer," he wrote. TO IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP, DO THIS ACTIVITY BEFORE BED, EXPERTS SUGGESTAs with food and other lifestyle factors, Winter explained that the ideal amount of sleep is a "dynamic range.""What is too much food for me might be an amazingly inadequate amount for an Olympic swimmer," he said as an example.For the average adult, sleep durations exceeding 11 to 12 hours would be considered "too much" and would start "prompting questions about sleep quality and sleep consistency," Winter said.‘NAPUCCINO’ TREND: CAFFEINE BEFORE A NAP COULD BE KEY TO BETTER SLEEPWhile getting too little sleep can cause many negative effects, an excess of slumber can pose risks like sleep inertia, which is the feeling of grogginess that occurs after sleeping in for too long."For many individuals, it's less about ‘too much sleep’ and more about compensatory sleep," he said. "In other words, you got inadequate sleep during the week and are trying to ‘make up’ for the lost sleep on the weekend."For more Health articles, visit foxnews.com/healthSleeping too much on a regular basis is more a reflection of "inadequate sleep quality" overall, Winter said.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTEREven so, the expert recommends catching up on sleep when there’s been a deficit."Studies have shown that if you pay that sleep debt back quickly, it probably keeps the deficit from impacting your health," he said."While it should never be Plan A, making up lost sleep via napping or sleeping in, when possible, can be a good fallback plan."Although some studies have suggested negative health outcomes from both inadequate and excessive sleep, Winter emphasized that it's better to get too much sleep than not enough."Trying to create consistency in sleep is important, too," he said. "Sleeping a different seven hours every night is not nearly as healthy as sticking to the same seven hours night after night."The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that adults get between seven and nine hours of sleep per night.

The New York Yankees have not played since Sunday, giving many fans in the area a chance to turn the channel to their crosstown rivals.And they've gotten quite a treat.The New York Mets have had two miraculous wins this week, one in which they came back twice late to make the postseason and again Thursday, when Pete Alonso hit the first homer ever while a team was trailing in the ninth inning or later in a winner-take-all game in MLB history.Despite the Yankees and Mets being rivals, there have been many Bronx Bombers fans who have, temporarily, been rooting for the Amazins this week.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMApparently, it bothered Yankees play-by-play announcer Michael Kay."Is fandom different now? Why are you rooting for the Mets if you're a Yankee fan? Are you out of your minds? Are you out of your minds?" Kay said on his radio show Friday afternoon. "Like you don't have enough good things to root for in the Bronx. Now, you're going to root for the Queens players? It doesn't make sense. It's bizarro land."It’s participation trophy era. ‘Oh, if the Mets win, it’s good for the city.’ Please stop!"Kay then implored Yankees fans who have been rooting for the Mets to "grow up."METS NAME SURPRISING PITCHER AS GAME 1 STARTER AFTER HE WAS THOUGHT TO MISS REST OF SEASON"Every single one of you. Because being a fan means something. You can't root for both," he added. "And the ones that are, they’re not real Yankee fans. If they’re just reveling in the Mets having a great win, they’re not real fans."Kay also pointed to the fact that Mets fans seldom root for the Yankees. However, it should be noted that the 121-year-old Yankees are often looked at as the "big brother" since the Mets joined as an expansion team in 1962.This marks the first time the Yankees and Mets are both in a division series since 2006.

Dozens of illegal immigrants from countries linked to extensive terrorist activity were caught at the southern border in Texas during the past week, authorities said Friday. Troopers with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) encountered the migrants among two large groups. The first of 230 illegal immigrants was apprehended Sept. 30.Among that group were 27 people from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Egypt and India, a DPS statement said. They were turned over to the federal authorities. US OFFICIALS NAB PERUVIAN GANG LEADER WANTED FOR NEARLY 2 DOZEN KILLINGS IN HOME COUNTRY: ‘SIGNIFICANT THREAT’"It is this type of activity, these attempted illegal crossings between the ports of entry by people coming from areas that are hot spots for terrorist activity that clearly highlight the concerns of Governor Abbott and the state of Texas," said DPS Director Steven McCraw. "These are not illegal immigrants seeking asylum – these are people trying to cross into the United States undetected who may also be trying to do us harm."Special interest nations are those with extensive terrorist activity. Another 41 people in the first group were arrested for criminal trespass. They were citizens of Brazil, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Argentina, Colombia and the Dominican Republic.VANCE, WALZ SPAR ON IMMIGRATION DURING VP DEBATE: BEEN TO THE BORDER ‘MORE THAN OUR BORDER CZAR’A second group of illegal immigrants was spotted on Wednesday just north of the border town of Eagle Pass.

In a separate arrest, authorities took Umar Farooq Ashraf, a South African citizen, into custody on Sept. 21. He was among a group of 15 illegal immigrants trespassing in Normandy, Texas, located across the border from Mexico. Troopers were alerted by the Terror Screening Center that Ashraf could be related to a known or suspected terrorist. He remains in custody on criminal trespass charges. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued its annual threat assessment this week warning of migrants with terrorist ties. "Over the next year, we expect some individuals with terrorism ties and some criminal actors will continue their efforts to exploit migration flows and the complex border security environment to enter the United States," the assessment states. "Individuals with potential terrorism connections continue to attempt to enter the Homeland at both the US-Mexico and US-Canada borders and also through the immigration system," it continued.

Rutherford County in western North Carolina this week debunked two false rumors spreading in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene."We are aware of several false reports circulating on social media on the situation in Chimney Rock. We want to address these rumors directly to ensure the public has accurate information," Rutherford County Emergency Management said in a statement posted on social media of the mountain town devastated by the powerful remnants of the hurricane. The agency said rumors of a "special meeting" held to discuss federal, state or local governments seizing Chimney Rock, North Carolina, following severe hurricane damage, were "entirely false."Chimney Rock, which is around 20 miles southeast of Asheville, North Carolina, has suffered extensive damage in the wake of the storm, however.NORTH CAROLINA REELING FROM DEVASTATING HELENE AS DEATH TOLL CLIMBS: ‘NEVER SEEN ANYTHING QUITE LIKE THIS’"Everything along the river is gone," Tracy Stevens of the destroyed Chimney Rock Brewing Co. told the Asheville Citizen-Times.

It’s beyond anything I can imagine."Emergency Management also clarified false rumors that there were "bodies everywhere" in the town."Tragically, we have two confirmed fatalities because of the storm. Claims of ‘bodies everywhere’ are completely unfounded," officials said.

The FBI and Department of Homeland Security on Friday warned that the upcoming one-year anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel could motivate some people to engage in violence within the United States. In a public service announcement, authorities said the anniversary may motivate extremists and others to engage in hate crimes and provoke violence. "Over the past year, we have observed violent extremist activity and hate crimes in the United States linked to the conflict," the PSA states. "Jewish, Muslim, or Arab institutions—including synagogues, mosques/Islamic centers, and community centers—and large public gatherings, such as memorials, vigils, or other lawful demonstrations, present attractive targets for violent attacks or for hoax threats by a variety of threat actors, including violent extremists and hate crime perpetrators," it said. Hamas killed 1,200 people and kidnapped hundreds of hostages during its brazen Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on the Jewish state. The attack sparked the ongoing war between Israel and the terror group.  This story is breaking. Please check back for updates.

A federal report on a tanker-truck crash a year ago in central Illinois that spilled a toxic chemical and killed five people includes an interview with a 17-year-old Ohio girl who concedes that the truck was forced off the road when she passed it with the minivan she was driving.The tanker slowed and pulled to the right to allow the minivan to get back in the right-hand lane and avoid a head-on collision with oncoming traffic on the two-lane U.S. 40 in Teutopolis on Sept. 29, 2023, according to dash-cam video from the truck also released late Wednesday by the National Transportation Safety Board.OHIO 'DANGEROUS' CHEMICAL SPILL CAUSED BY OPEN VALVE ON TRAIN CAR LEADS TO EMERGENCY EVACUATION"Oh, (expletive). Yeah. Oh, my goodness. Yep, totally my bad. Wow. Holy (expletive)," the girl said while watching the video from the ill-fated truck during an Oct. 4, 2023, Illinois State Police interview.The tanker truck was carrying caustic anhydrous ammonia when it jack-knifed and hit a utility trailer parked just off the highway. The trailer's hitch punctured the tank, spilling about half of the 7,500-gallon (28,390-liter) load about 8:40 p.m. just west of Teutopolis, a community about 110 miles (177 kilometers) northeast of St. Louis.Five people died as a result, including three family members who were near the road when the incident occurred. About 500 people were evacuated for hours after the accident to spare them exposure to the hazardous plume from the chemical used by farmers to add nitrogen fertilizer to the soil and in large buildings as a refrigerant.The transportation board said its latest findings are merely a factual account and do not include analysis or conclusions, which are expected later.The Illinois State Police conducted its own investigation, and spokeswoman Melaney Arnold said the department turned over its findings last month to Effingham County State's Attorney Aaron Jones. A message seeking comment from Jones was left at his office Thursday.The girl, whose name is redacted in the transcript of the state police interview because she was a minor at the time, said she was traveling with her mother and brother to visit her mother's boyfriend in the Illinois suburbs of St. Louis. An accident on Interstate 70 earlier that night diverted loads of traffic onto U.S. 40, and she said she passed three trucks on the road heading west into Teutopolis.The girl said her pass of the tanker began in a passing zone, although a no-passing sign appears in the video. She said once she began passing, she realized she needed to accelerate to clear oncoming traffic and estimated she was going 90 mph when she pulled back to the right, narrowly slipping by an oncoming vehicle. She told investigators her mother was upset by the close call, but she thought she had plenty of clearance.However, she declined the police interviewers' offer to show the dash-cam video again."No, you don't have to. It was totally my fault," the girl said. "I've honestly in the past had times when I just don't use good judgment in judging like distances and whether I have enough time for something."Attempting to give the minivan space to get over, the truck moved onto the shoulder, lost traction on gravel and then hit a drainage culvert, according to the truck driver, who survived. Continuing west, the girl said she soon saw emergency vehicles coming coming east but did not connect them with her passing the truck.She said that before the family's return trip to Ohio, when her mother was reading aloud news accounts of the crash, she had no idea it had happened."Of course not," she told investigators. "I told you that like three times."When one of the investigators expressed disbelief that no one in the car noticed a truck turning over behind them, she doubled down."Nobody said, ‘Oh, the guy behind you drove off the road,’ " the girl said. "That would've been a huge deal for everybody. We would've been like, ‘Oh, (expletive), I just caused something really bad to happen,' and then like our whole night would’ve been figuring out" what to do.

Each state has its own set of laws that seem quite strange, and Minnesota is not exempt. Many bizarre laws that come out of states are fictional rumors that somehow spread with no evidence backing them. In Minnesota, this includes it being illegal to cross state lines with a duck on your head or parking an elephant on Main Street. Though, there are certain laws that are surprisingly true. Among Minnesota's strangest laws include not being allowed to drive with dirty tires and the inability to be charged with drunkenness. 6 WEIRD BEACH LAWS AROUND THE UNITED STATES THAT MAY SURPRISE YOUBelow are more details about these strange laws and more that are on the books in the state of Minnesota. In Minnesota, public intoxication alone is not a crime. This is according to Section 340A.902 of Minnesota law. The law states that "no person may be charged with or convicted of the offense of drunkenness or public drunkenness."50 BIZARRE LAWS THAT HAVE EXISTED OR STILL EXIST IN AMERICAThat said, a person could still be convicted of other offenses, like if injuring another or damaging property occurs. "Nothing herein prevents the prosecution and conviction of an intoxicated person for offenses other than drunkenness or public drunkenness nor does this section relieve a person from civil liability for an injury to persons or property caused by the person while intoxicated," the written statute goes on to state. Minnesota is not the only state which does not consider public intoxication a crime.BIZARRE LAWS IN CALIFORNIA THAT COULD GET YOU INTO TROUBLEMontana, Nevada and Wisconsin are other states that don't criminalize drunkenness in public, according to FindLaw.com. If you have dirty tires that are spreading filth in the road, be wary before driving down a road in Minnesota. More specifically, in Minnetonka, where driving with dirty tires could lead to legal trouble. Under Section 845.010, "Public Nuisances Affecting Peace, Safety and General Welfare" in Minnetonka, Minnesota's Code of Ordinances, drivers are not allowed to drive "a truck or other vehicle whose wheels or tires deposit mud, dirt, sticky substances, litter or other material on any street or highway." "A violation of this ordinance is subject to the penalties and provisions of Chapter XIII of the city code," the law states. BIZARRE MICHIGAN LAWS THAT WOULD PUZZLE JUST ABOUT ANYONE, INCLUDING CONSEQUENCES FOR SEDUCING UNMARRIED WOMENMinnesota is home to lots of mosquitoes, so much so that there is actually a law written about the insects. The law refers to areas where mosquitoes are in abundance. Section 18G.14 in part states that "areas where mosquitoes incubate or hatch are declared to be public nuisances and may be abated under this section. Mosquito abatement may be undertaken under this section anywhere in the state by any governmental unit."WEIRD SOUTH CAROLINA LAWS THAT WILL SURPRISE YOU, INCLUDING THE RAMIFICATION OF BUYING SILVERWARE ON SUNDAYSThink twice before trying to catch a ride by waiting on the side of the road in Minnesota. State statute 169.22 describes the act of hitchhiking as unlawful. "No person shall stand in a roadway for the purpose of soliciting a ride from the driver of any private vehicle," the statute states. Another section of this statute applies to solicitation of business. "No person shall stand on a roadway for the purpose of soliciting employment, business, or contributions from the occupant of any vehicle," the statute states. 

The Israel Defense Forces announced Friday that 250 Hezbollah terrorists, including nearly two dozen commanders, have been killed since the beginning of its limited ground operation in southern Lebanon. "Approximately 250 terrorists have been eliminated by land and air, and more than 2,000 military targets have been attacked, including terrorist elements and facilities, military buildings, weapons depots, missile platforms, and the like," IDF Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee wrote on X. "As part of this operation, the forces were able to eliminate terrorists who were entrenched in buildings and positions adjacent to the separation fence and prevent Hezbollah terrorists from approaching the fence, with the aim of removing the threat to the residents of the north of [Israel]," Adraee continued. "During the operation, the forces also found warehouses of combat equipment, missile launchers that were ready to be launched, and Hezbollah explosive devices that the terrorists had left behind," he added. 8 ISRAELI SOLDIERS KILLED IN LEBANON AS NETANYAHU SAYS IDF ENGAGED IN ‘TOUGH WAR’ WITH HEZBOLLAH Among the Hezbollah terrorists that have been killed are five battalion commanders, 10 company commanders and six platoon commanders, according to the IDF. The announcement comes as the IDF said Friday that two of its soldiers have died "during combat in northern Israel." ISRAELI MILITARY SAYS REGULAR INFANTRY, ARMORED UNITS JOINING LIMITED GROUND OPERATION IN SOUTHERN LEBANON On Wednesday, the IDF said eight troops were killed during fighting in southern Lebanon. "I would like to send my deepest condolences to the families of our heroes who fell today in Lebanon," Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video message. "May God avenge their death. May their memory be of blessing."  "We are in the middle of a tough war against Iran's axis of evil, which seeks to destroy us. This will not happen -- because we will stand together, and with God's help -- we will win together," Netanyahu added. "We will return our hostages in the south, we will return our residents in the north, we will guarantee the eternity of Israel." Fox News' Yael Rotem-Kuriel contributed to this report.  

Sanxingdui Ruins is an archaeological site located in Southwest China's Sichuan Province. The site has undergone heavy exploration through the years, with thousands of notable artifacts coming out of excavations. The Sanxingdui Ruins lie in Guanghan City. The site was first discovered in 1929 by a farmer who came across jade and stone artifacts while repairing a sewage ditch, according to Live Science. It was not until 1934 that an official scientific excavation commenced, according to China Daily. Since that first excavation, research and discovery has continued at the site. During the 1980s, the excavation of two pits was conducted, where over 1,000 artifacts were unearthed, according to China Daily. Those finds included figurines, human face masks and more. IRISH FARMER FINDS NEAR 60-POUND SLAB OF ANCIENT BOG BUTTER ON HIS LAND BY ‘PURE LUCK’Between 2019 and 2020, six more pits were excavated, according to the source, with more than 500 artifacts uncovered, including seashells, silk, ritual bronze vessels and gold masks. There has been an abundance of notable finds from the troves of artifacts discovered at the Sanxingdui Ruins. Among more recent discoveries, gold masks have been among the significant finds at the site. For example, in September 2022, it was announced by China's National Cultural Heritage Administration that a 3,000-year-old gold mask was discovered at the site among royal tombs. MOM, SON DIG UP ANCIENT OBJECT OFTEN FOUND NEAR BURIAL GROUNDS WHILE GARDENINGThe ancient mask dated back to the Shang Dynasty, ARTNews reported at the time, and predated another gold mask that was found the fall before at the Sanxingdui Ruins.In 2021, a complete gold mask weighing about 100 grams was unearthed at the site, according to China's Xinhua News Agency. The gold mask was larger, but weighed less than another fragment of a gold mask that was found at the site earlier on in 2021, according to the Sichuan Provincial Cultural Relics and Archaeology Research Institute. Since 2022, there have been more than 4,000 artifacts unearthed from the Sanxingdui Ruins, which include pottery, jadeware and stoneware, according to China's Xinhua News Agency.To date, there have been over 60,000 relics found at the site, according to the source. The Sanxingdui Ruins is widely acknowledged as one of the "world's greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century," according to China's Xinhua News Agency. Experts believe that the Sanxingdui Ruins are the remains of the ancient Shu Kingdom.The Sanxingdui Museum first opened its doors in 1997, though it has been expanded since, and has provided an opportunity for visitors to see first hand many of the artifacts that have been found at the archaeological site through the years. 

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared in a rare sermon Friday that his country’s ballistic missile attack on Israel earlier this week was "legal and legitimate" and that the "resistance in the region will not back down even with the killing of its leaders." The public address from Khamenei was his first during Friday prayers in Tehran in nearly five years, according to the AFP.  Khamenei said Iran will not "procrastinate nor act hastily to carry out its duty" in going after Israel, Reuters reports. The news agency cited him as saying that Tuesday’s barrage of nearly 200 missiles fired by Iran at Israel was "legal and legitimate" and the minimum punishment for Israel’s "crimes." IRAN WARNS OF ‘DECISIVE RESPONSE’ IF ISRAEL CROSSES ‘RED LINES’ "The resistance in the region will not back down even with the killing of its leaders," Khamenei reportedly added, mentioning recently slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah during the speech. The remarks came as the Israel Defense Forces announced Friday that Mohammad Rashid Sakafi, the commander of Hezbollah’s Communications Unit, was killed in an airstrike in Beirut, Lebanon. "Sakafi was a senior Hezbollah terrorist, who was responsible for the communications unit since 2000," the IDF wrote on X. "Sakafi invested significant efforts to develop communication capabilities between all of Hezbollah's units." ISRAEL BANS UN SECRETARY-GENERAL OVER ANTI-ISRAEL ACTIONS National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said earlier this week that the Iranian missile attack on Israel was "defeated and ineffective" and that the U.S. military coordinated with the IDF to repel the strikes.  "U.S. naval destroyers joined Israeli Air Defense units in firing interceptors to shoot down inbound missiles. President Biden and Vice President Harris monitored the attack and the response from the White House Situation Room, joined in person and remotely by their national security team," Sullivan said during a briefing.  "This is a significant escalation by Iran, a significant event, and it is equally significant that we were able to step up with Israel and create a situation in which no one was killed in this attack in Israel… We are now going to look at what the appropriate next steps are to secure, first and foremost, American interests and then to promote stability to the maximum extent possible as we go forward," he added. Fox News Digital's Michael Dorgan contributed to this report.

A bus carrying several wedding guests while speeding down a roadway plunged into a ravine in southeastern Pakistan on Thursday, killing at least seven people, according to rescuers and officials.The crash occurred near Quetta, the capital of the Balochistan Province. Authorities did not immediately know what caused the crash, though an investigation was underway.The Associated Press reported that Wasim Baig, a spokesperson for the health department, said the bodies of the victims and of 17 others who were injured in the crash were taken to an area hospital.28 CONFIRMED DEAD IN PAKISTAN AFTER BUS PLUNGES INTO ROCKY RAVINESome of the injured victims were reportedly in critical condition.In a country where highways are poorly maintained, and traffic laws are ignored for the most part, crashes on the roadways are common in Pakistan.FAMILY OF 4, INCLUDING CHILDREN, KILLED BY MISSILE STRIKE IN PAKISTANThree bus crashes in August claimed the lives of 60 Pakistanis, combined.Two of the bus crashes happened in Pakistan, with one occurring in Balochistan and the other in eastern Punjab province.

Two Swedish teenagers were jailed Thursday in pre-trial detention in connection with two predawn explosions in the vicinity of the Israeli Embassy in Copenhagen a day earlier. Prosecutors said investigators were establishing "whether the motive could be a terror attack."No one was injured in the blasts on early Wednesday in a neighborhood with several foreign diplomatic missions, though the nearby Jewish school was closed following the explosions.The pair, who cannot be identified under a court order, were ordered held for 27 days. They faced preliminary charges of possessing illegal weapons and carrying five hand grenades. Two of the grenades blew up when the suspects threw them at a house near the embassy, prosecutor Søren Harbo said."This was pretty close to the Israeli Embassy," Harbo said before Thursday's court hearing. The explosions caused damage to a roof terrace of a nearby house. The diplomatic mission was not harmed.EUROPEAN LEADERS WEIGH IN ON 'LEGITIMATE' ISSUE OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: 'MUST BE STOPPED'Thursday's hearing was held behind closed doors after the preliminary charges were read. Reporting from inside the court room, Danish broadcaster DR said the teenagers, aged 16 and 19, are suspected of acting "in association and together with prior agreement with one or more perpetrators."Both denied the charges, local media reported.The two suspects were arrested Wednesday shortly before noon on a train at Copenhagen’s central station. Danish media ran photos of a man in a white hazmat suit being taken away by police on a train platform at the station. A third suspect, aged 19, who had been arrested near the embassy, has been released, police said Thursday.In Denmark, the charges are one step short of formal charges and allow authorities to keep criminal suspects in custody during an investigation.Separately, shots were fired late Tuesday at the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm. No one was injured. No arrests have been made.The Danish domestic security service, known by its acronym PET, said that "Swedish authorities have assessed that at least one specific act directed at the Israeli embassy in Stockholm, which was carried out by young criminals in Sweden, has links to Iran."In May the Swedish domestic security agency SAPO accused Iran of using established criminal networks in Sweden as a proxy to target Israeli or Jewish people. The announcement came after the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm was sealed off in late January after what was then described as "a dangerous object" was found on the grounds of the diplomatic mission. Swedish media said the object was a hand grenade.In a statement, PET said, "if we have a state actor who gets young criminals to carry out actions aimed at Jewish targets in our neighboring country, then we can be concerned that this will also happen in Denmark."In Stockholm, the operative of Sweden’s domestic security agency SAPO, Fredrik Hallström, said "the latest incident at the Israeli embassy is not classified as a terrorist crime at the moment." His counterpart at the Swedish police’s National Operations Department, Johan Olsson, told the same press conference that the charges were of "aggravated weapons offenses, causing danger or other serious illegal threats and damage."

Russian troops on Wednesday took the eastern Ukrainian town of Vuhledar in the Donetsk region after it withstood more than two years of attacks following the Kremlin’s invasion.The eventual seizure of the town signifies Russia’s leg up when it comes to the sheer manpower advantage it has over Ukraine, as Kyiv continues to plead with the West for more and faster supplies of weaponry. LITHUANIAN FM WARNS RUSSIA CAN DO 'SO MUCH DAMAGE TO ITS NEIGHBORS'A press officer from the 72nd Mechanized Brigade of Ukraine’s Armed Forces – a unit known for its hardy resistance – said according to a translation provided by Pravda Ukraine on Thursday that the wounded soldiers were successfully evacuated, but under "very difficult" conditions."The enemy pressed from the flanks, complicating logistics significantly," Arsenii Prylipka told the news outlet before adding, "This is war. It is impossible to have no losses." Prylipka highlighted the strain of the situation and said the commanding officer was forced to make a decision amid heavy fighting."They are continually striking, controlling, and complicating logistics, so a decision is made right on the battlefield," he added, rebuffing any question that criticized the decision to withdraw from the coal mining town.Ukraine's eastern military command said it had ordered a pullback from the town to prevent Russian troops from encircling its forces positioned in Vuhledar and to "preserve personnel and military equipment," reported Reuters. BIDEN PLEDGES $8 BILLION TO UKRAINE FOLLOWING PUTIN'S PROPOSED CHANGES TO NUCLEAR RULESThough the town reportedly had a population of some 14,000 before Russia’s invasion in February 2022, it has been a frontline town since the start of the war, with the majority of the town’s residents having long since evacuated. Images show the beating the town has received after undergoing more than two years of Russian bombardment, many of the buildings not only abandoned, but smoke-covered and crumbling.Russian President Vladimir Putin has said his war aim is to take the whole of the Donbas region from Ukraine, and his troops currently occupy an estimated 80% of it. The last of the Ukrainian troops to withdraw from Vuhledar left Tuesday night, reported Reuters. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday backed the decision by the commanding officer to withdraw his brigade from the town."It is necessary to protect their lives, because they are more important than any buildings. These are our people, these are citizens of Ukraine," he said in response to a question by a reporter about the withdrawal following a meeting with the new NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. "Therefore, it is very correct that they leave and can save themselves. For the sake of the state, for the sake of its heroic service," he added.

The Harpole Treasure refers to a collection of relics that was discovered in Harpole near Northampton in 2022. Among the treasures discovered was a unique gold necklace that archaeologists called "the most ornate of its kind ever found," according to The Museum of London Archaeology's (MOLA) July 2022 news release.The necklace was one of many finds that came out of an ancient burial site. The gorgeous necklace dates back between 630 and 670 A.D., according to MOLA.The unique piece features many different pendants, which includes beads, glass pendants and Roman coins. 12-YEAR-OLD BOY STUMBLES UPON STUNNING ANCIENT FIND WHILE WALKING DOG IN ENGLAND: ‘RELATIVELY RARE’At the center of the necklace sits a rectangular pendant, decorated with a cross motif. While pendants in female burials aren't particularly uncommon, according to the press release, the variety of pendants adds to this particular find's uniqueness."Suddenly we had a rubbish pit that turned into a burial beyond burials," Paul Thompson, MOLA project manager, said, per the BBC in 2023. "It's a once in a lifetime experience to be working on something like this," he went on to say. ANCIENT ROMAN GOLD AND SILVER COINS DISCOVERED WITH METAL DETECTOR MAKE IMPRESSIVE SHOWING AT AUCTIONOther finds unearthed from the ancient burial site were two decorated pots, as well as a shallow copper dish and a large ornate cross. The necklace, paired with the other grave goods that were found, label the find as "one of the most spectacular female Early Medieval burials ever discovered in the UK," per MOLA's press release. "It wasn’t just one or two items. That would have been incredible in its own," Thompson told The Washington Post in 2022. "We have here the only complete example of this type of necklace excavated in modern archaeological standards.… It’s an asymmetrical set-out of the gold coins, and the precious stones mounted in gold, which we haven’t seen before."IRISH FARMER FINDS NEAR 60-POUND SLAB OF ANCIENT BOG BUTTER ON HIS LAND BY ‘PURE LUCK’Though the identity of the woman who was buried with these goods remains an untold story, archaeologists do believe that the person was of high status, possibly an early Christian leader.  "Christianity provided a way for women to gain independence and power in their own right, by enabling them to run monastic houses, so we see an increase in elite women using Christianity as a means of increasing their status," Emma Brownlee, an archaeologist at the University of Cambridge, told The Washington Post in 2022. "In this burial, we’re seeing a particularly fine example of that process."In December 2023, MOLA released a second news release about the incredible find, sharing that the 30 pendants and beads making up the necklace had been cleaned and, at the time of writing, continued to be examined by specialists to learn more about their origins. There have also been further developments regarding the human remains at the site. When the grave goods, including the necklace, were found in 2022, it was believed that only a few fragments of the woman's teeth remained, according to the press release, but further investigation has led to the finding of more fragments, including the upper part of a femur, some vertebrae, part of a hand and wrist, plus part of the pelvic bone, per the press release. 

A Yazidi woman held captive by Islamic terrorists for the last decade has been reunited with her family in Iraq following her escape and safe evacuation on Oct. 1 in a coordinated effort between Israeli and U.S. officials, the State Department confirmed to Fox News Digital on Thursday.Fawzia Amin Sido, now 21, was just 11 years old when she was kidnapped by ISIS terrorists before she was sold and trafficked into Gaza, where she was forced to marry an alleged Hamas fighter.Amin Sido was apparently able to escape after her captor was killed in what was believed to have been an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) strike, enabling her to flee to a "hideout" within the Gaza Strip.CHILDREN ONCE HELD HOSTAGE STILL WORKING THROUGH TRAUMA: 'ARE THEY COMING FOR US AGAIN?'"In a complex operation coordinated between Israel, the United States, and other international actors, she was recently rescued in a secret mission from the Gaza Strip through the Kerem Shalom Crossing," the IDF said in a statement Thursday.
