K2 Radio News: Flash Briefing For December 6th, 2017 – Morning

WASHINGTON (AP) - BRITISH PRIME MINISTER THERESA MAY SAYS SHE PLANS TO CALL PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP TO DISCUSS HIS PLAN TO RELOCATE THE AMERICAN EMBASSY IN ISRAEL TO JERUSALEM. MAY TELLS THE HOUSE OF COMMONS THAT BRITAIN'S POSITION IS THAT "THE STATUS OF JERUSALEM SHOULD BE DETERMINED IN A NEGOTIATED SETTLEMENT BETWEEN THE ISRAELIS AND THE PALESTINIANS, AND JERUSALEM SHOULD ULTIMATELY FORM A SHARED CAPITAL."

JERUSALEM (AP) - PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S EXPECTED DECLARATION OF JERUSALEM AS ISRAEL'S CAPITAL IS LIKELY TO HAVE A SEISMIC EFFECT AND WILL CARRY DEEP SYMBOLIC MEANING BY ESSENTIALLY IMPOSING A SOLUTION FOR ONE OF THE CORE ISSUES IN THE DECADES-LONG ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT. ISRAEL CLAIMS ALL OF JERUSALEM AS ITS CAPITAL, WHILE THE PALESTINIANS CLAIM THE CITY'S EASTERN SECTOR, CAPTURED BY ISRAEL IN THE 1967 MIDEAST WAR, AS THE CAPITAL OF A FUTURE INDEPENDENT STATE.

WASHINGTON (AP) - SECRETARY OF STATE REX TILLERSON SAYS THE UNITED STATES IS CONVINCED THAT THE INCIDENTS HARMING THE HEALTH OF U.S. EMBASSY WORKERS IN CUBA WERE "TARGETED ATTACKS." TILLERSON IS PUSHING BACK ON CUBA'S COMPLAINTS THAT THE U.S. HASN'T SHARED ENOUGH INFORMATION TO LET CUBAN AUTHORITIES INVESTIGATE.

=================================
CASPER POLICE ON MONDAY ARRESTED A MAN WHO ALLEGEDLY SLID INTO A FENCE WHILE DRIVING, THEN MADE UP A FAKE STORY ABOUT BEING THE VICTIM OF A HIT-AND-RUN IN ORDER TO AVOID RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCIDENT.

20-YEAR-OLD JONATHAN THOMAS REISER WAS BOOKED INTO JAIL ON RECOMMENDED CHARGES OF FILING A FALSE REPORT, NO INSURANCE AND LEAVING THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT.

CHARGING PAPERS SAY A POLICE OFFICER WAS SENT TO A HOME ON SHUMWAY AVENUE SHORTLY BEFORE 8 P.M. MONDAY FOR A REPORTED HIT-AND-RUN CRASH. REISER HAD CALLED POLICE TO REPORT BEING THE VICTIM OF A HIT-AND-RUN -- WHICH HE SAID HAD OCCURRED ABOUT TWO HOURS PRIOR -- AND BUT HAD BEEN UNABLE TO REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PHONE.

REISER SAID SOME OTHER VEHICLE HIT HIM AND SENT HIM CAREENING INTO A FENCE.

THE OFFICER ONLY SAW DAMAGE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY DAMAGE CONSISTENT WITH AN ACCIDENT SUCH AS REISER DESCRIBED.

THE OFFICER ASKED REISER IF HE WANTED TO EXPLAIN HOW THE ACCIDENT ACTUALLY OCCURRED, BUT REISER REPORTEDLY STUCK TO HIS STORY.

EVIDENCE AT THE SCENE INDICATED THAT REISER'S VEHICLE HIT THE FENCE, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING TO SUBSTANTIATE REISER'S STORY ABOUT BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE.

REISER EVENTUALLY SAID HE "MADE IT UP" BECAUSE HE COULDN'T REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED. HE WAS ARRESTED AND TAKEN TO JAIL.

============================
CASPER, WYO. (AP) - EMAILS OBTAINED BY THE PRESS INDICATE A FIRE CHIEF USED HIS CITY EMAIL ACCOUNT TO SEND SUGGESTIVE MESSAGES TO WOMEN AND MAKE SEXUAL COMMENTS ABOUT WOMEN'S APPEARANCES TO OTHER FIRE PERSONNEL.

CASPER FIRE CHIEF KENNETH KING'S EARLY RETIREMENT LAST WEEK CAME AFTER HIS EMAILS WERE ANONYMOUSLY DISTRIBUTED TO A GROUP OF FIREFIGHTERS AND CITY OFFICIALS LAST MONTH.

KING TOLD THE STAR TRIBUNE IN A TEXT MESSAGE THAT HE'S "SORRY IF ANY OF MY EMAILS HAVE MADE ANYONE FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE."

CITY MANAGER CARTER NAPIER SAYS HE MET WITH KING LAST WEEK AFTER HE RECEIVED COPIES OF THE EMAILS AND A LETTER THAT OUTLINED CONCERNS ABOUT THE CHIEF. HE WOULDN'T DISCUSS DETAILS OF THEIR CONVERSATION.

NAPIER ALSO DECLINED COMMENT ON WHETHER OTHER EMPLOYEES WERE BEING INVESTIGATED OR DISCIPLINED.
===========================
