Posted: 11 Oct 2017 03:54 PM PDT

US Supreme Court considers bank's liability for attacksThe US Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday in a case pitting the Arab Bank against victims of militant attacks that were allegedly enabled by the financial institution. At issue is whether the Alien Tort Statute (ATS), a law that gives American courts jurisdiction in civil lawsuits filed by foreign nationals over acts violating international law or US treaties, can be applied to the bank, and corporations in general. Some 6,000 plaintiffs who were victims of attacks in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza claim the bank violated international law and by allowing the transfer of money used to fund the violence to accounts held by leaders of Hamas, which the US considers a terrorist group.

California wildfires kill 21 and create boiling river of wine as they burn through vineyards 

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 03:46 PM PDT

California wildfires kill 21 and create boiling river of wine as they burn through vineyards Authorities fear the death toll from California's wild fires could rise rapidly from 21, as thousands of firefighters battle blazes engulfing the state's wine country. Hundreds of people have been reported missing in fires that have destroyed more than 3500 homes and businesses. In places the damage to the region's wineries has been so devastating that a boiling river of wine was spotted at the Paradise Ridge Winery in Santa Rosa flowing beneath the smouldering ground where barrels have been incinerated. Three days after the first fires were reported, the blazes continue to multiply in number. On Wednesday, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said 22 wildfires were burning, up from 17 a day earlier. Ken Pimlott, department chief, said the fires had burned through 265 square miles of ground parched from years of drought. The main building at Paras Vinyards burns in Napa Credit: AFP "We are literally looking at explosive vegetation," he said. "It is very dynamic. These fires are changing by the minute in many areas." Entire residential neighbourhoods have been reduced to blackened rubble in parts of northern California as smoke cloaks the land and turns the sky orange. The dead include a married couple of 75 years, who were found in the charred remains of their home. Mike Rippey said his brother discovered the bodies of his 100-year-old father Charles, who appeared to be heading to the room of his 98-year-old mother Sara, when he was overcome by smoke and flames. The remains of Journey's End mobile home park in Santa Rosa Credit: AP "My father certainly wouldn't have left her," he said in the ruins of their home in Napa, where they lived for 35 years. The couple met in primary school in Wisconin and had been together ever since. Mr Rippey, 71, said he and his four siblings could not imagine either parent living alone. "We knew there's no way they would ever be happy, whoever was the last one. So they went together, and that's the way it worked," he said. Drone captures the aftermath of wildfires in Santa Rosa 01:16 Authorities ordered more evacuations for parts of Sonoma Valley on Wednesday after a blaze grew to 44 miles across. The vast scale of the fires, problematic communications and chaotic evacuations meant the death toll would likely rise, according to Robert Giordano, Sonoma County sheriff. "The devastation is enormous," he said. "We can't even get into most areas. I would expect the number to go up." Burned wine barrels are seen at a destroyed Paradise Ridge Winery in Santa Rosa in California Credit: AFP Jerry Brown, the governor, said 8000 firefighters had been deployed with more resources arriving form neighbouring states. "We have had big fires in the past. This is one of the biggest, most serious, and it's not over," he said, adding that climate change would make such disasters more common in the future. Dry, windy weather is forecast for the next 24 hours, offering little in the way of respite. Gusts of up to 50 miles per hour and 10 percent humidity are expected throughout the rest of Wednesday and Thursday.

Somehow this guy accidentally kept his neighbour's cat hostage for five daysSometimes it can be hard to distinguish your pet from others that look like it. It's something that happened to one New Zealander, although it took them five days to realise they had accidentally kept their neighbour's cat hostage. Oops. SEE ALSO: Get your fluffy cat snuggles without the cat The debacle was chronicled by Clarke Gayford on Twitter, posting two different pictures of cats on Tuesday. One cat belonged to his friend, and had just walked in. The other, was the kidnapped cat. a mate spent $130 at vet on his cat then had to lock it in his bedroom for 5 days recovery, and JUST NOW HIS ACTUAL CAT WALKED IN �� pic.twitter.com/TyeiFfARJK — Clarke Gayford (@NZClarke) October 10, 2017 To add to the problem, the neighbour had been looking for her missing cat. He just told me a neighbour had come looking for her missing black cat and he said 'Na, sorry just my cat in here!'I actually snort laughed — Clarke Gayford (@NZClarke) October 10, 2017 And to make matters worse, Gayford's friend had fed the kidnapped cat anti-anxiety medication, on the prescription of a vet.  OMG so he told vet it did seem to be acting strange so vet prescribed it anti-anxiety meds. MY MATE HAS KIDNAPPED AND BEEN DRUGING A KITTEH! pic.twitter.com/CkbVqWYgiA — Clarke Gayford (@NZClarke) October 10, 2017 Eventually, the mistake had been atoned, and fortunately the neighbour was cool about the whole catnapping thing. "Just thought I'd let you know, pussy doesn't seem to have been traumatized by his confinement at your house," a text message reads.  And now this from neighbour...... and um well of course your cat is chilled out MY MATE HAS BEEN FEEDING YOUR CAT DRUGS!! pic.twitter.com/vIoJbTLajV — Clarke Gayford (@NZClarke) October 10, 2017 Of course, this case of mistaken kitty is no isolated incident, with other people sharing stories of pet mix-ups. It's too damn easy to mess it up. One time our dog was in the street covered in mud. Dragged him inside, washed him, dried him, then discovered our actual dog in his kennel. — Kate McDermott (@MsKateMcD) October 10, 2017 Neighbour brought in our cat & said sorry she had just run over him.
