Fox News ousts 2 more executives
NEW YORK
Four days after the ouster of Warren native Roger Ailes as Fox News chief, two more executives at the network have been axed.
But the firing of Michael Clemente and his top deputy, Peter Boyer, were not related to the sexual-harassment allegations that forced Ailes out at the network that he started two decades ago, two Fox executives said Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss personnel issues.
Clemente was executive vice president of news at Fox until April, when he was demoted and put in charge of a new division for specials and long-form programming. He worked at ABC News before coming to Fox.
Ailes resigned Thursday after being sued by a former Fox anchor who alleged she was punished for resisting his sexual advances and complaining about an atmosphere of harassment at Fox.
Most evacuations are canceled in wildfire
LOS ANGELES
The majority of the roughly 20,000 evacuees from a huge wildfire north of LA will be allowed to return home.
The U.S. Forest Service said residents from all but two evacuated neighborhoods could return Monday evening.
Some evacuees have been away from their homes since the beginning of the weekend. About 10,000 homes had been under evacuation orders. The smoky fire burned more than 51 square miles and destroyed at least 18 residences.
Firefighters were unable to battle some of the blaze because of evacuation holdouts they had to spend time helping to safety, County Fire Chief Daryl Osby said.
Bangladesh police: 9 militants killed

Metropolitan Police official Sheikh Muhammad Maruf Hasan said another man was arrested and is being treated for injuries in a hospital. t is not immediately clear in which group the suspects belong to.
