Teachers in Wales say children as young as eight are using racist insults against their classmates, including one Bangladeshi student being told "he was in ISIS" and questioned over whether he had a visa following the Brexit vote.

The findings were published by the charity Show Racism the Red Card Wales, which has warned of a "growing tide of racist attitudes among young people."

It says one in four teachers polled had dealt with a racist incident at their school in the past year. The consultation was a survey answered by 435 teachers.

Other incidents recorded include a female pupil being "picked on" because she wears a headscarf and a black British pupil being told to "go back to their own country."

Some young people were also reported as labelling immigrants as "people who cause riots," "bombers," "terrorists" and "people who are trying to hurt us."

Yahoo is poised to confirm a massive data breach of its service, according to several sources close to the situation, hacking that has exposed several hundred million user accounts.

While sources were unspecific about the extent of the incursion, since there is the likelihood of government investigations and legal action related to the breach, they noted that it is widespread and serious.

Earlier this summer, Yahoo said it was investigating a data breach in which hackers claimed to have access to 200 million user accounts and one was selling them online. "It's as bad as that," said one source. "Worse, really."

The announcement, which is expected to come this week, also has possible larger implications for the $4.8 billion sale of Yahoo's core business — which is at the core of this hack — to Verizon. The scale of the liability could bring untold headaches to the new owners. Shareholders are likely to worry that it could lead to an adjustment in the price of the transaction.

Students all over Penn State University agree on this much about Hillary Clinton: "She's slimy," said Anay Pope.

And Pope, 25, is a Clinton supporter. For the moment.

Clinton's poll numbers are sagging, and the biggest reason is that she's plunging among young voters. A Quinnipiac University poll this month found that in a four-way race, Clinton is up 5 points nationally with 18- to 34-year-old voters, down from a 24-point lead just a month before.

Just days ahead of the first debate Monday and less than two months before voting ends, interviews with more than 30 young voters in the battleground state of Pennsylvania underscore her two challenges: Many young voters are taking serious looks at Donald Trump as well as Libertarian Gary Johnson and the Green Party's Jill Stein. And many are debating whether they even want to vote this year.

A memory from Sabina Huillca: "A nurse put me on a stretcher and tied my hands and feet. I asked them to bring me my little baby girl but instead they anesthetized me. When I woke up, the doctor was stitching my stomach. I started screaming, I knew I had been sterilized."

According to Shena Cavallo with IC Magazine, In Peru, during the presidency of Alberto Fujimori, 272,000 women and 22,004 men were sterilized between 1996 and 2000 as part of the National Reproductive Health and Family Planning Program. Most of the men and women were indigenous, poor, and living in rural areas. The program'salleged aim was to eradicate poverty through lower birth rates, but evidence has emerged over the years that it was coercive and blatantly violated reproductive rights.

Thousands of women have testified that medical practitioners performed the procedures against their will. In many cases, the women did not even speak enough Spanish to understand what they were consenting to and in some cases, providers did not even go through the motions of obtaining informed consent. Some women have shared stories of providers offering them money to have the procedure or intimidating them with threats or violence. Some women died due to complications and other women still suffer serious health complications today.

In a huge loss for hundreds of thousands of forcibly sterilized indigenous people, Public Prosecutor Marcelita Gutiérrez decided NOT to pursue charges of crimes against humanity against former President Fujimori and several staff members of the Ministry of Health. Gutiérrez stated that instances of forced sterilizations of indigenous women were not conclusive evidence that the practice was state policy and were, rather, isolated cases.

Health providers that did the actual work disagree with Gutiérrez, they say they were required by state officials to meet daily quotas. Dr. Hernando Cevallos, a leader of a regional medical doctor's union, for example, received an order to sterilize 250 women in 4 days in 1997.

Victims and their allies are appealing the dismissal of the case and hoping to appeal to a higher court, such as the Inter-American Court. Tania Pariona, a newly elected member of the national Congress and indigenousactivist,said of Gutiérrez's decision, "I believe we are facing a situation of shameful impunity in the country."

Cavallo continues, "Congresswoman Pariona went on to highlight the scale of the reproductive health program (in terms of the number of people sterilized) during this period, pointing out that in many indigenous communities today there is not even a single ob-gyn to perform a safe delivery. More than 15 years after the end of this "reproductive health" program, the Peruvian state continues to fail indigenous women."

Because the state ignores it, activists and organizations continue to make significant progress in advancing the rights of indigenous communities and building the capacity of the next generation of advocates.

This past year, IWHC's partners REOJIP (Peruvian Network of Indigenous Youth) and Chirapaq (through its Center for Indigenous Peoples' Cultures of Peru) organized a series of trainings in Lima, Ayacucho, and Ucayali with 75 young indigenous men and women. These trainings ensure that young people are informed of their rights and have a safe space to discuss issues related to sexual and reproductive health. The workshops also offer youth a space to discuss and challenge stereotypes and biases about sexuality, gender, and relationships, all while affirming and strengthening their indigenous identity.

Chirapaq was formed in 1986 in Ayacucho, Peru, by a group of Andean and Amazonian women to defend indigenous rights and strengthen indigenous identity. Today, Chirapaq investigates violations of indigenous peoples' rights, offers human rights trainings, and works to document and preserve local culture.

After participating in these trainings, indigenous adolescents and young people are not only better informed of their rights, but also many form their own groups and train their communities.

In fact, Tania Pariona participated in CHIRAPAQ's workshops on cultural identity when she was 10 years old and later went on to participate in IWHC's Advocacy in Practice (AiP) trainings and has become a leading voice for indigenous rights in Peru and throughout the region.

IWHC and Chirapaq share the belief that awareness-raising and training are the first steps to nurture advocateswho will go on to fight for the health and rights of women, girls, and young people.

Hopefully the state will step up and punish those accountable for these atrocious crimes. Even if the courts will not hold these disgusting individuals accountable, activists will continue to educate people so this type of thing does not happen again.

"In my opinion, the Ramsey family did not want law enforcement to solve this case, and that's why it remains unsolved," says retired FBI profiler Jim Clemente.

After going through the evidence and conducting interviews with some of the those involved in the case, a panel of law enforcement specialists all agreed on the theory that Burke Ramsey killed his sister, JonBenet, during Christmas 1996.

Retired FBI profiler Jim Clemente and former Scotland Yard criminal behavior expert Laura Richards worked with specialists for the CBS two-part special, The Case Of: JonBenet Ramsey. The series premiered Sunday night.

The panel of investigators included forensic linguistics expert James Fitzgerald, famed criminologist Werner Spitz, former Boulder Country District Attorney's Office investigator James Kolar, statement analyst Stan Burke and forensic scientist Dr. Henry Lee.

A massive blaze at a power plant in Puerto Rico has left around 1.5 million islanders without electricity. The causes of the fire remain unknown.

The fire has damaged the two main transmission lines of 230,000 volts, according to a local power company, Electric Power Authority (EPA). An investigation by the company is under way, while no injuries have been reported.

Following the killing of 40-year-old Terence Crutcher by Tulsa police officer Betty Shelby, the US Department of Justice is opening an investigation into whether Crutcher's civil rights were violated.

The video of Crutcher's death released Monday was quickly shared around social media. In a press conference that day, Tulsa Police Chief Chuck Jordan called it "very difficult to watch," and "disturbing."

Jordan also announced that the Department of Justice would conduct an impartial probe into the shooting, which was confirmed on Tuesday.

"The Justice Department is committed to investigating allegations of excessive force by law enforcement officers, and will devote whatever resources necessary to ensure that all allegations of civil-rights violations are fully and completely investigated," US Attorney Danny Williams, Sr. told the Wall Street Journal.

LaGrange police are not clowning around.

Lt. Dale Strickland told WXIA police arrested four teens on Friday for creating a fake Facebook page, where they made threats to dress like a creepy clown and abduct children with a white van. Last week, police allege, the teens made the threats against students at Callaway Elementary, Franklin Forest Elementary, Callaway Middle School, Troup High School and Callaway High School.

Police charged Steven Goddard Jr., 18, Zaria Dallas, 18, and Tristian Bonner, 17, with making terroristic threats. Goddard and Dallas are from Georgia, while Bonner is from Alabama. Police charged an unnamed 16-year-old with both making terroristic threats and disrupting public schools, according to the news site.

"We have received numerous Facebook messages about the possible criminal activity involving individuals dressed as clowns. On Monday, September 12, 2016, LaGrange Police began an investigation into threats made by several individuals via Facebook to commit violent crimes at three different schools in LaGrange," the department posted to its Facebook page.

"The suspects indicated that they would be dressed as 'creepy clowns' and would be driving a white van. After the posts were made and shared thousands of times officers with the department responded to numerous calls of 'creepy clowns' driving in different areas of the city. There were no individuals located and several of the calls were believed to be false," it continued.

The U.S. government has mistakenly granted citizenship to at least 858 immigrants from countries of concern to national security or with high rates of immigration fraud who had pending deportation orders, according to an internal Homeland Security audit released Monday.

The Homeland Security Department's inspector general found that the immigrants used different names or birthdates to apply for citizenship with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and such discrepancies weren't caught because their fingerprints were missing from government databases.

DHS said in an emailed statement that an initial review of these cases suggest that some of the individuals may have ultimately qualified for citizenship, and that the lack of digital fingerprint records does not necessarily mean they committed fraud.

The report does not identify any of the immigrants by name, but Inspector General John Roth's auditors said they were all from "special interest countries" — those that present a national security concern for the United States — or neighboring countries with high rates of immigration fraud. The report did not identify those countries.

Based on the disproportionate number of police stops of black males in Boston and a state law that does not require individuals to speak to police or remain in their presence, Massachusetts' highest court ruled that a black man had reason to flee police.

The case before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court was based on the gun conviction of Jimmy Warren, who was arrested in December 2011 while Roxbury police investigated a break-in. Based on a description of "dark clothing," police approached Warren and another man. The pair ran from the cops, but were later searched and arrested. Warren was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm even though he was not armed at the time of his arrest. An unlicensed gun had been recovered by police in a nearby yard, WBUR reported, and Warren was eventually convicted.
