Brazil to reopen National Museum destroyed by fire in 2018
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil's National Museum offered a glimpse of its renovated building and collection on Monday, two days before it reopens for visitors and seven years after a devastating fire destroyed it. Journalists and special guests previewed the renovated museum in Rio de Janeiro, where they could also see a large part of its 20-million-artifact collection. Brazil's Education Minister Camilo Santana told journalists the museum's complete renovation is slated for completion by the end of 2027. He added that the reconstruction budget of almost 517 million Brazilian reais ($95 million) is being split between public and private companies. The building was once a royal palace that served as the seat of the united Portuguese and Brazilian empire before the museum's collection was transferred there in 1892. Visitors will be welcomed at the main entrance by a symbol of the institution's resilience: the Bendego meteorite, which weighs 5.6 tons and was found 241 years ago in the countryside of the state of Bahia. Brazil's Federal Police ruled out criminal offense in the 2020 fire, stating that the blaze in the former palace likely started with an air conditioning unit inside an auditorium near the front entrance. Arson was ruled out. Some artifacts have been recovered, notably most fragments of a skull belonging to a woman dubbed Luzia. It is one of the oldest human fossils ever found in the Americas, and was a top museum treasure. Recovery efforts were suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic. ____ Follow AP's coverage of Latin America and the Caribbean at

Create Account A man who had intentionally set the fire to ambush the crew on Sunday was perched in a sniper position, firing at the firefighters. They took cover behind firetrucks, but two died and a third was wounded during a barrage of gunfire over several hours, authorities said. First responders made urgent calls for help on their radios at Canfield Mountain just north of Coeur d'Alene: 'Everybody's shot up here … send law enforcement now,' according to one dispatch. Two helicopters converged on the area, armed with snipers ready to take out the suspect if needed, while the FBI used his cellphone data to track him and the sheriff ordered residents to shelter in place. They eventually found the suspect dead in the mountains, his firearm beside him. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

It is unknown how he died, and authorities have not yet revealed a motive. The suspect has been identified as Wess Roley, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Monday. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation. 'We do believe that the suspect started the fire, and we do believe that it was an ambush and it was intentional,' Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris said at a Sunday night news conference. 'These firefighters did not have a chance.' The wounded firefighter was 'fighting for his life' after surgery and was in stable condition, Norris said.

Hours after the ambush, people gathered along Interstate 90 holding American flags to pay their respects as the two fallen firefighters' bodies were taken to the medical examiner's office in Spokane, Washington, about 35 miles (56 kilometres) from Coeur d'Alene. Gov. Brad Little on Monday ordered U.S. and Idaho state flags to be lowered to half-staff to honor the firefighters until the day after their memorial service. 'All our public safety officers, especially our firefighters, bravely confront danger on a daily basis but we have never seen a heinous act of violence like this on our firefighters before,' he said in a statement. 'This is not Idaho. This indescribable loss is felt deeply by all those in the firefighting community and beyond.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The Idaho House Republican Leadership said in a statement: 'We are horrified by the murder of two firefighters in Coeur d'Alene, and shocked by such a vicious attack on our first responders. We are praying for them, the injured, their families and their colleagues.' Though the shelter-in-place order was lifted, the sheriff's office cautioned residents to be prepared because the fire was still burning. The status of the fire was not immediately known Monday morning. Canfield Mountain is a popular hiking and biking area on the outskirts of Coeur d'Alene, covered with trees and heavy brush and crisscrossed with trails that lead into a national forest. Fire is always a concern for the region, said Bruce Deming, whose property abuts the trail system. When he noticed smoke on the ridge Sunday afternoon, he wondered why no firefighting helicopters were responding. When a friend texted to tell him about the shooting, he realized why he wasn't seeing aircraft: 'Because they're concerned about being shot at,' he said. As deputies set up posts nearby, Deming pointed them to a trail that starts near his backdoor and leads directly to the site of the fire. 'I just don't want to have to wake up in the middle of the night to figure if somebody's out prowling around my place,' he said. World World Toronto Maple Leafs Canada World

Passengers were alerted that someone had fallen overboard by an announcement over the ship's loudspeakers, said passenger Kevin Furuta in a social media post. 'Thankfully the (Disney Cruise Lines) rescue team was on it immediately and both were saved!' Furuta said in a post to the Facebook group, Disney Dream Cruise Ship Group. No information has been released about how the girl fell overboard. 'We commend our crew members for their exceptional skills and prompt actions, which ensured the safe return of both guests to the ship within minutes,' Disney said in a statement. 'We are committed to the safety and well-being of our guests, and this incident highlights the effectiveness of our safety protocols.' The Coast Guard didn't respond to an email seeking comment.
