Charging documents say a Missouri woman was held captive in a basement room for about a month and was raped repeatedly before she was able to escape. The suspect, 39-year-old Timothy M. Haslett of Excelsior Spring, Missouri, was arrested Friday. He is charged with first-degree rape or attempted rape, first-degree kidnapping and second-degree assault. He is jailed and does not yet have a listed attorney. The woman was found early Friday. A probable cause statement says she was able to escape when the suspect took his child to school. Police say they’re trying to determine if there have been other victims.
Ukrainians have rallied in Prague for the second straight evening to condemn this week’s barrage of Russian missile strikes against cities across Ukraine. They also demanded more weapons for their country’s protection. The protesters on Tuesday were holding blue-and-yellow crosses with the names of the cities hit by the Russian missiles. One woman from Ukraine told the crowd: “Ukraine needs air defenses to be able to prevent the massacres of the civilian population and destruction of our cities.” The protesters chanted “Russia’s terrorist!” and held banners reading “We will not forget, We will not forgive,” and “Stop bombing Ukraine.” Protesters also unveiled a giant Ukrainian flag.

Democratic Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers says he wouldn’t sign a bill that keeps in place the state’s 1849 ban on abortion but creates new exceptions for rape and incest. Evers faces Republican Tim Michels, who supported the 1849 ban before changing positions after he won the Republican primary. Michels now says he would sign a bill granting exceptions. Evers said at a Tuesday event co-hosted by the Milwaukee Press Club that he wouldn’t sign a bill granting exceptions because that would leave in place the underlying law banning abortion. Polls show the governor’s race to be about even.
The Atlanta Hawks are heading into the season looking to answer a perplexing question: Who are we? Two seasons ago, the Hawks made a stunning run to the Eastern Conference final. Last year, they had to get through the play-in tournament just to make the playoffs. It turned out to be very short stay as they were knocked out in five games by the Miami Heat. Now, having traded three first-round picks to acquire Dejounte Murray, the Hawks are eager to show they are capable of making a deep run in the postseason.
More families who are offered expensive health insurance premiums from their employers will get a discount if they sign up instead for coverage through the Affordable Care Act marketplace this fall. The Treasury Department announced new rules that determine the tax breaks for certain families when they buy private health insurance plans through the Affordable Care Act. The new interpretation of the Obama-era health law aims to fix the “family glitch,” which determines a family’s eligibility for tax credits on the law’s private health insurance marketplace on the cost of an individual’s work-sponsored health insurance plan, rather than the cost of the plan for the whole family.
NEW YORK — Everything’s bigger in Texas — including the twists in John Lithgow and Douglas McGrath’s new off-Broadway play.
Rescue workers in Venezuela are clearing rocks and mud from the streets of a north-central city that was hit by a massive landslide three days earlier. They are also expanding their search for any bodies buried under the sludge. Officials say the slide in Las Tejerias has killed at least 36 people. They warn that the death toll could increase as bodies are found farther downstream from the hardest-hit neighborhoods. At least 60 people are said to be missing, and some local residents have joined search crews to look for them.
A lawyer for Kevin Spacey has sought to poke holes in the story of another actor who claims Spacey made a sexual advance on him when he was a teenager in 1986. During an aggressive cross-examination Tuesday at a civil trial in Manhattan, defense attorney Jennifer Keller zeroed in on inconsistencies between Anthony Rapp’s account of how he first met Spacey 1986 and that of a friend who was there. Rapp has alleged that he attended a party at Spacey’s apartment, after which Spacey forced himself on him by pinning him to a bed. Spacey has denied Rapp’s allegation.

NASA says a spacecraft that plowed into a small, harmless asteroid millions of miles away last month succeeded in shifting its orbit. The space agency announced the results of the tests Tuesday. NASA attempted the first test of its kind two weeks ago to see if a killer rock could be nudged out of Earth’s way. The Dart spacecraft carved a crater into the asteroid, hurling debris out into space and creating a cometlike trail of dust and rubble. It took days of telescope observations to determine how much the impact altered the asteroid’s path around its companion, a bigger space rock.
NASA says spacecraft crash changed an asteroid’s orbit in test to protect Earth from future threats.
More than $100 million in grants have been announced by the federal government as part of a major effort to close the digital divide in parts of rural Alaska. The Anchorage Daily News reports the projects will be an improvement on an existing system that includes a series of microwave transmitters with limited data transmission and vulnerability to bad weather. The grants include $73 million for a partnership between the Alaska Native village corporation for Bethel and telecommunications company GCI. Funding from last year’s federal infrastructure bill and other sources have been lauded by political leaders and officials with Alaska Native organizations and telecommunications companies as providing a unique opportunity to improve telecommunications in many parts of Alaska.

Federal authorities say they are seeking the extradition of a man arrested in the United Kingdom on charges in New York City accusing him of helping a Russian oligarch violate U.S. sanctions. Officials say Graham Bonham-Carter, a United Kingdom citizen, was arrested Tuesday on charges related to his work for Russian oligarch Oleg Vladimirovich Deripaska. Deripaska and three of his associates were criminally charged last month with violating U.S. sanctions. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said Bonham-Carter provided property management and other services to Deripaska. He says he also obscured the origin of funding for upkeep and management of Deripaska’s lavish U.S. assets.

A New Mexico State University study has found that teacher vacancies in the state have dropped significantly over the last year. NMSU released a report Monday from its Southwest Outreach Academic Research Evaluation & Policy Center showing that the number of empty positions are closer to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. Researchers looked at the number of job openings in every school district in New Mexico and data provided by colleges and universities. They found 690 teacher vacancies compared to 1,048 last yea, a 34% decline. Officials at the Center say the findings don’t diminish the fact that there is still an urgent need for teachers and other support staff.
NEW YORK — New York Mayor Eric Adams signed a couple of bills into law Tuesday formalizing Times Square as a “gun-free zone” — even as the designation remains in legal limbo due to a recent ruling from a federal judge in upstate New York.
CHICAGO — On the third night of Harry Styles’ six-night residency in Chicago, as the British pop star, promising actor and spiritual scion of Mick Jagger took the stage, the United Center rattled, buzzed, seemed to implode in a white-hot screech of 23,000 screams. Every generation or so this…
Covered head-to-toe in protective suits, forensic workers have pulled several bodies wrapped in black plastic from a mass grave in Ukraine’s devastated city of Lyman. It’s all part of an arduous effort to piece together evidence of what happened under more than four months of Russian occupation. Authorities said the bodies of 32 soldiers have been exhumed from the mass grave so far in the city in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region. Another 22 civilians have been exhumed from individual graves at the burial site, located on the edge of a cemetery in a forested area on the outskirts of Lyman. Further exhumations are planned. One Ukrainian official said the bodies may have been buried by local residents, not Russians, during the occupation.

LOS ANGELES — Nury Martinez said Tuesday she would take a leave of absence from the Los Angeles City Council, two days after a surreptitious recording surfaced on which she is heard making racist remarks and denigrating colleagues.
Group of Seven leaders vowed to support Ukraine “for as long as it takes” and condemned Russia’s recent steps to escalate its war there “in the strongest possible terms.”
A judge has postponed a Republican-backed recall campaign against a Colorado state senator who recently switched parties to Democrat. The Denver district court judge ruled that the recall effort against Kevin Priola should be conducted after Priola is sworn in next year to represent a new district, which was created by redistricting. The ruling temporarily enhances Democrats’ prospects of retaining a majority in Colorado’s Senate after the Nov. 8 midterm elections. Priola quit the Republican Party in August, saying he was disgusted by what he called his party’s refusal to repudiate assertions that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. Those assertions have repeatedly been proven false. Recall leaders are vowing to appeal the ruling.

Some 1.6 million voters in Michigan have requested absentee ballots and 150,000 have cast ballots for the general election, which is less than a month away. The state is expecting high voter turnout because of several high-impact races — and a ballot initiative seeking to enshrine abortion in the state constitution. A spokesman for the Michigan Secretary of State said Tuesday that the early absentee numbers point toward this being the most votes ever cast in the state for a governor’s race. With returns indicating high early absentee voting, a looming debate Thursday between Republican challenger Tudor Dixon and Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer takes on added significance.
Some Mississippi legislators say they will renew efforts to clarify that people may possess chemical strips to detect traces of the deadly drug fentanyl. A bill to decriminalize fentanyl test strips died early this year. But the House Drug Policy Committee Chairman Lee Yancy is now supporting the effort. The legislative session begins in January. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid more lethal than heroin. The state health officer, Dr. Dan Edney, says he wants people who use drugs to seek professional help to end their addiction. But he says they also need “harm reduction” tools for short-term help.
The United Kingdom says it has deployed a ship and specialized police to the Turks and Caicos Islands to fight a spike in violence. Two dozen specialists who were stationed in the Bahamas arrived Friday on the archipelago, while the Royal Fleet Auxiliary tanker with a helicopter is en route and will be used as a platform for operations, said the U.K.’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office. The archipelago of some 58,000 people has reported 15 fatal shootings since early September. Among the victims is Kent Carter, an NAACP leader from Virginia, who was killed Oct. 2 while on vacation.
National Democrats are trying to narrow the gap with rival Republican groups in North Carolina’s U.S. Senate race. Senate Majority PAC is aligned with Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. The group said on Tuesday it’s spending over $4 million for an ad campaign over the next two weeks criticizing GOP nominee Ted Budd on his abortion views. A Republican group aligned with Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has roughly doubled the spending of the Senate Majority PAC in the race by opposing Democrat Cheri Beasley. The GOP money has helped close the head-to-head fundraising advantage that Beasley’s campaign has had over Budd.
West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice says he will propose legislation that would eliminate a personal property tax on vehicles. The Republican governor on Tuesday urged voters to reject a proposed constitutional amendment on the same issue next month. Justice has made trips across the state against Amendment 2, which would eliminate a business and inventory tax along with the vehicle tax. He says passage of the amendment could harm schools, cities and counties that rely on property taxes, while giving companies large tax breaks. Justice said his legislation would return $145 million to taxpayers, who would receive a full refund for personal property vehicle taxes starting with their 2022 payments.

The Charlotte Hornets say All-Star point guard LaMelo Ball will have an MRI on his injured left ankle. Ball left the Hornets’ last game with what the team called a left ankle sprain after his foot was stepped on by Washington’s Anthony Gill as he was driving toward the basket. Ball collapsed to the floor and remained there for several minutes before getting up, limping to the foul line and shooting two free throws. He then exited the game and headed to the locker room. Hornets coach Steve Clifford says Ball will not travel with the team to Philadelphia for Wednesday’s preseason finale.
Seattle’s Luis Castillo will oppose Houston’s Framber Valdez in Game 2 of the AL Division Series. It’ll be Castillo’s second start of the postseason. He won Game 1 of Seattle’s wild-card series against Toronto and allowed six hits and struck out five in 7 1/3 shutout innings. Valdez won a career-high 17 games this season to rank second in the AL behind teammate Justin Verlander. He had 25 straight quality starts from April 25 to Sept. 18 to set the MLB record for most consecutive in a single season.

The new album by Miko Marks and the Resurrectors is titled “Feel Like Going Home.” It’s the follow-up to “Our Country,” Marks’ 2021 album that marked the revival of her musical career after a hiatus of more than a decade to focus on family. Marks joins a trend of recent breakouts in country music by Black women who defy genre boundaries.

King Charles III will be crowned at Westminster Abbey on May 6 in a ceremony that will embrace the past but look to the modern world after the 70-year reign of the late Queen Elizabeth II. Tuesday’s announcement from Buckingham Palace comes amid speculation that the coronation will be shorter and less extravagant than the three-hour ceremony that installed Elizabeth in 1953, in keeping with Charles’ plans for slimmed down monarchy. While the palace provided few details, British media reported that the guest list would be pared to 2,000 from 8,000. Charles will be crowned in a solemn religious ceremony conducted by Justin Welby, the archbishop of Canterbury, the palace said in a statement. Camilla, the queen consort, will be crowned alongside her husband.
The Denver Nuggets’ band of Jamal Murray, two-time MVP Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter Jr. is back together. Murray missed last season as he recovered from a torn ACL and Porter was sidelined for all but nine games with a back injury. With the offseason acquisition of players such as Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, the Nuggets are eager to pick up where they left off when Murray and Porter were healthy. They helped the Nuggets to the Western Conference finals inside the bubble in 2020. The team opens the season at Utah on Oct. 19.
