Toddlers rescued safely after Wayne family's terrifying vehicle theft
The Brief Three children were inside a vehicle when a suspect stole it from outside a Wayne gas station. The truck was found in Dearborn Heights, while the children were found in a parking lot in Inkster. A 25-year-old man was arrested. INKSTER, Mich. (FOX 2) - It was a nightmare scenario for a Metro Detroit family when their truck was stolen with their three toddlers still inside, strapped to their car seats. Timeline The mom, Ebony Foley, pulled up to a gas station to get milk when, in seconds, a thief hopped in the truck with the toddlers inside. The suspect then dumped them in a random parking lot two miles from the gas station. Foley admits she got too comfortable in her own neighborhood as she drove across the street to buy milk on Sunday night. Gabriel and Isaiah are 18-month-old twins, who were also with 3-year-old Markos. All three toddlers were strapped into their car seats with the keys in the ignition. The male suspect jumped in the vehicle and sped off down Michigan Avenue near Venoy, in Wayne, heading towards Inkster. "The first thing that popped into my head was I hope this man does not crash in my truck with my babies in the back. Flooring it down the road," she said. What they're saying Investigators say the thief pulled over into a random lot in Inkster, where he dumped the three toddlers in a dark lot and just left. "If you have the audacity to drop some babies on the side of the road, what else you have the audacity to do?" she said. A neighbor heard the youngest boy crying and called 911. Within minutes, police were there to rescue them—they weren't hurt. Little Markos slept through the whole thing. Dearborn police luckily had undercover units out who gathered intel from license plate readers to track the suspect to a Marathon gas station in Dearborn Heights. The parents can't say "thank you" enough to the dozens of officers from multiple departments who saved the day. They've learned the hard way and want to warn other parents not to trust anything for a second. What's next The suspect is in the custody of Wayne police, and charges are pending.

Michigan nonprofit showcases former residence of Malcolm X
People in Inkster, Michigan, are celebrating a significant day as visitors toured the home where Malcolm X became Malcolm X, just two days before what would've been his 100th birthday. "To be able to represent Malcolm this way in the City of Inkster, to restore the home that he lived in when he was released from prison, this is history," Dawon Lynn, a board member with the Inkster-based nonprofit Project We Hope Dream and Believe, said. "This is something we know Malcolm is smiling down on us right here, for this." A modest house on Williams Street in Inkster once belonged to Malcolm X's brother and sister-in-law, Wilfred and Ruth Little. CBS News Detroit And it was in this home during the 1950s that the African American revolutionary and human rights activist Malcolm X changed his name from Malcolm Little and discovered his Muslim faith. Civil Rights politician Malcolm X (born Malcolm Little, later el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz) at London Airport, September 7th 1964. Terry Disney/Daily Express/Over the past few years, the home has been carefully restored and renovated to honor the home's legacy as authentically as possible. "It was in bad shape," Arthur Edge, a general contractor for the home, said. "There was a fire in here. We had to reconstruct the roof. Then we gutted out the house and put everything in as it was in 1950." On Saturday afternoon, Project We Hope Dream and Believe invited the public to see a soft-launch of all the work that has been done on the home, and they were intentional with why they chose the day they did. "Malcolm was born May 19th, and Wilfred passed away on May 19th," Aaron Sims, founder of Project We Hope, which owns the house, said, "so the thing that we're doing today is we're having a 100th birthday celebration for Malcolm and a memorial celebration for Wilfred." The renovation of the house is about 80% complete, and when completely finished, the home will become a museum to the public. Eventually, there will be a historical marker in the front of the house showcasing the life of Malcolm and his brother Wilfred. "I mean, Malcolm X is a compelling historical figure, and he's iconic, and I think that our attempts to preserve this home are really going to be essential to preserving his legacy," said Tareq Ramadan, a project manager with Project We Hope. The full public opening of the home and museum is expected to happen in August.

China ‘could use NHS data to develop targeted bioweapon'
China could use NHS data to develop a targeted bioweapon against the West, a former deputy head of MI6 has warned. Nigel Inkster said there is a 'real worry' of what Beijing could do with a large health dataset. It comes as UK Biobank, a research hub, is preparing to transfer data from half a million GP records to its central database, where it will be available to access by Chinese researchers. Mr Inkster told the BBC Radio 4 Today podcast: 'I think the real worry is what they might be able to do with the collectivity of the data set.' Asked for examples, he said: 'Well, extreme scenarios, which I think are still scientifically fairly far fetched, would be developing a pathogen that would attack one population rather than another. 'Not a pathogen that necessarily attacks one ethnic group rather than another, because at the end of the day ethnicity, the determinant nation of ethnicity is not primarily genetic anyway, but develop a pathogen against which we are known not to have any defences'. A spokesman from UK Biobank told the Guardian earlier this week that China had passed the audit process for sharing data internationally, meaning that researchers from the country can apply to access the records. Of the 1,375 successful applications for access to UK Biobank data, one in five (265) came from China, second only to the US, according to analysis of the published records. MI5 previously warned that Chinese organisations and individuals granted access to UK data could be ordered by Chinese intelligence agencies to carry out work on their behalf. Database stripped of personal details Personal details, such as names and dates of birth, are stripped from the database before it is shared. But Mr Inkster warned that the UK 'would be in trouble' if it was to agree a trade deal with the US at the expense of China. It comes after White House officials told The Telegraph that they believe a trade deal with the UK could be agreed 'within three weeks'. The former deputy head of MI6 said: 'If it were the case that we had such a deal, I think it would come with strings, and one of those strings would be an expectation that the UK would get with the programme when it came to China. 'We've seen a precursor of this with the Huawei 5G saga, which the Americans said, you cannot use a Chinese company to build the 5G. What needs to happen is that the Government needs to look much more carefully at what constitutes critical national infrastructure, and consider what the risks are in any given sector. 'And one of the areas here that worries me quite a lot is the whole pharmaceutical sector, because China is a critical supplier of many pharmaceutical products. Without them, we would be in trouble.' Asked if the Chinese government could switch off the supply of vital pharmaceuticals in a future dispute, Mr Inkster said: 'It would be an incredibly powerful lever. China has, I think, a fairly clear track record of readiness to use economic coercion.'
