Yahoo NewsThe Trumps are refusing to turn over the keys to the Bidens — and Michelle and Barack Obama have had enough
Two days after Donald Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton after the 2016 election, then-President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama welcomed the president-elect and the incoming first lady, Melania Trump, to the White House, a gesture symbolizing the peaceful transfer of power to a man who had launched his candidacy by spreading the lie that Obama was born in a foreign country. Now, two weeks after Election Day and more than a week after the 2020 election was called for Joe Biden by independent observers, Trump is refusing to concede defeat, challenging the results with baseless claims of voter fraud and ordering officials not to cooperate with the transition. And the Obamas are over it.
The TelegraphTaiwan grounds F-16 fighter fleet after jet disappears during a nighttime training mission
Taiwan has grounded all of its F-16 fighter jets for safety checks as rescuers continue to search for one that went missing during a training exercise, authorities said Wednesday. The decision removes around 150 planes from Taiwan's skies, leaving the democratic island relying on an even more limited fleet to warn off Chinese jets that have been buzzing it at an unprecedented rate in recent months. The air force said a single-seat F-16 flown by a 44-year-old pilot disappeared from radar at an altitude of some 6,000 feet (1,800 metres) two minutes after taking off from Hualien air base in eastern Taiwan on Tuesday night.
Associated PressSuburban Milwaukee officer who killed 3 since 2015 resigns
A suburban Milwaukee police officer who has fatally shot three people in the line of duty since 2015, including a Black teenager outside a mall in February, is resigning from the department.

Yahoo NewsTrump claims Michigan election board was 'viciously harassed' to certify Biden vote in Detroit
President Trump, after boasting that two Republican officials had blocked certification of the votes in Wayne County, Mich., on Tuesday and praising their “courage,” on Wednesday morning claimed they were “FORCED” to reverse themselves by being “threatened, screamed at and viciously harassed.” The certification makes it virtually certain that Biden has carried the state and its 16 electoral votes. The board of canvassers in Wayne County met Tuesday to certify the results of the Nov. 3 election in what is usually a routine procedure.

Associated PressUS hits Iran with new sanctions as Pompeo defends strategy
The United States hit Iran with new sanctions on Wednesday, as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made the case that undoing the actions of the Trump administration would be foolish and dangerous. The Treasury and State departments announced they had targeted a leading Iranian charity and numerous of its affiliates for human rights violations. At the same time, Pompeo released a statement titled “The Importance of Sanctions on Iran,” which argued that the Trump administration's moves against Iran made the world safer and should not be reversed.
Yahoo NewsTrump fired his top election security official, but the agency's debunking website lives on for now
On Wednesday morning, national security officials were still trying to determine whether President Trump's decision to oust his top election security official, Chris Krebs, would impact the ongoing work of his former agency, including a government Rumor Control website, where officials have been debunking popular conspiracy theories about the election in real time. Officials at the agency, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, including top cybersecurity adviser Matt Masterson, tweeted that they were still on the job. Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday evening to “terminate” Krebs, a senior official at the Department of Homeland Security in charge of election security.
BBCHow electric cars are charged and how far they go: your questions answered
How do you charge an electric car at home? The obvious answer is that you plug it into the mains but, unfortunately, it isn't always that simple. If you have a driveway and can park your car beside your house, then you can just plug it straight into your domestic mains electricity supply.
Associated PressAs virus cases spiral, Los Angeles readies plan for curfew

Hospitalizations have topped 1,100, a rise of 30% in that period.

Reuters'A catastrophic situation': COVID-19 threatens to overwhelm Canada's health system
In July, the Canadian province of Manitoba went two weeks without a single new case of COVID-19. By October, the 1.4 million people living in a province only slightly smaller geographically than Texas had Canada's highest rate of active cases - now 512 per 100,000 people, or nearly quadruple the national rate.

Charlotte Observer9-year-old found barefoot in woods three days after vanishing, Tennessee officials say
A missing 9-year-old had no jacket or shoes when he was found in the Tennessee woods, officials say. During the three days investigators say Jordan Gorman was away from his Nashville area home, overnight temperatures dipped into the 30s and 40s, National Weather Service data show.

Associated PressRape, abuses in palm oil fields linked to top beauty brands
Women in her family have worked on the same Malaysian plantation since her great-grandmother left India as a baby in the early 1900s. Like many laborers in both countries, they can't afford to give up the company's basic subsidized housing, which often consists of rows of dilapidated shacks without running water. That ensures the generational cycle endures, maintaining a cheap, built-in workforce.
