Officials with the Conyers Police Department say that Tammy Fortson was reported missing in 1997 from the Fox Chase Court area. While officers tried to find Fortson, the case went cold, and her disappearance remained a mystery for years.

In 2016, officials reported finding skeletal remains near Christian Circle, one of the areas where Fortson was last seen. Investigators recovered the remains, sending a portion to the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification in 2019, in hopes of identifying them, but still weren't able to get information to positively link them to the missing woman.

That began to change in 2024, when authorities say the case was reassigned to Criminal Investigations Lt. Kayla Hinds, who renewed the efforts and coordinated additional forensic testing with the Texas organization. 

After months of DNA analysis, investigators say they determined the remains were "approximately 104 million times more likely" to be the biological child of Fortson's mother than an unrelated individual. With this discovery the officials were able to identify the remains as those of Tammy Fortson earlier this year.

"This identification represents a significant milestone in a case that has remained unresolved for many years. While it cannot erase the pain experienced by Tammy's family, we hope it provides them with some measure of answers and allows the investigation to move forward," the Conyers Police Department wrote on Facebook.

While the discovery does solve part of the mystery of Fortson's disappearance, officials questions still remain about her death.

If you have any information about Fortson that could help with the case, call the Newton County Sheriff's Office at 470-426-4294.

A spokesperson for Starbucks said it is not buying Chipotle, which has a market worth of $47 billion, saying that the company is focused on its strategic plan to boost growth. 

"Our team is laser-focused on executing our Back to Starbucks strategy. We have strong momentum and confidence in our long-term growth potential.  We look forward to sharing our Q4 results, including FY27 guidance, later this month," a Starbucks spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News.  

Chipotle's stock soared as much as 8% last week after the Financial Times reported that Starbucks had been exploring a deal to purchase Chipotle. 

Industry analysts were skeptical of the report. TD Cowen analysts said in a research note last week that they considered a merger between Starbucks and Chipotle "a low-probability outcome," and instead expected Starbucks chief executive Brian Niccol to prioritize the company's turnaround plan.  

Niccol previously served as CEO of Chipotle, whose stock price has dropped about 50% since he left the post in August 2024. The shares have lost about 20% of their value over the past year. 

The opening portion of the recording has no audio. After the shooting, Officer Trenton Garner tells dispatch: "Firearm discharged at a donkey. It was trying to attack us in the pasture and on the track." 

Officers then continue searching for the girl.

Garner is now asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by HeeHaw's owner, Hannah Michelle Israel. 

In an Oct. 7 filing, his attorney argues the footage shows Garner acted to protect another officer from an immediate threat.

Israel alleges officers entered her pasture without permission and shot HeeHaw without provocation. Her complaint describes the donkey as "young, small, and tranquil," according to Garner's court filing.

The shooting happened shortly after midnight Aug. 30 while officers were helping search for a missing 12-year-old girl in Polk County.

Garner's attorney, J. Scott Key, argues the recording shows HeeHaw approaching another officer and getting within a body length of him before Garner fired. He also argues that crossing the pasture did not violate Israel's constitutional rights and that Garner should be protected from the lawsuit.

In his incident report, Garner wrote that another officer activated a Taser's electrical arc to try to scare the donkey away, but HeeHaw continued approaching. Garner said he fired once, and the donkey turned, moved uphill, and collapsed.

Israel told officers she had bottle-fed HeeHaw since he was young and that he had never acted aggressively or tried to bite anyone.

Garner was placed on administrative leave while the Georgia Department of Agriculture's Law Enforcement Division conducted an outside investigation. 

Police say the situation happened near the cellphone lot of the busy airport on the afternoon of Oct. 8.

According to the Atlanta Police Department, officers were called to the airport after receiving reports of a man walking near the lot holding a knife.

Investigators say the man, later identified as 39-year-old Jeremy Turner, swung the knife at a victim before taking their vehicle.

The victim was not hurt, and Turner was taken into custody at the airport, officials say.

Turner was charged with two counts of aggravated assault, disorderly conduct, and possession of a weapon during the commission of a felony. Officials say Turner also had an active warrant out of Fulton County. 

He remains in custody at the Clayton County Jail.

Sources say the investigation centers on Omar's immigration paperwork. The documents in question date back to Omar's childhood, involving paperwork completed by her late father when she was a child. 

Omar's office said in a statement that Omar had "done nothing wrong" and called the raid "outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies." 

Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, posted Monday on social media, "I'm ok," adding "I will not be silenced."

"Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement," Omar wrote. "For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation."

Homeland Security Investigations, or HSI, the department's criminal investigative arm, is leading the investigation, with the Department of Justice assisting. 

HSI has jurisdiction over federal offenses including immigration document fraud, identity fraud and immigration benefit fraud. Unlike ICE's deportation-focused operations, HSI special agents conduct criminal investigations and execute federal search warrants.

In a statement, the Justice Department confirmed that the HSI executed a search warrant secured by the DOJ. The statement said it was "part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation." 

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, whip Rep. Katherine Clark and caucus chair Rep. Pete Aguilar called the raid on Omar's home "deeply disturbing" and said it "raises serious questions about the continued corrupt weaponization of the federal government against Donald Trump's adversaries."

Omar is a frequent target of President Trump, and border czar Tom Homan said in September that there was an "ongoing criminal investigation" into the congresswoman. 

"I'm confirming that ICE is, yeah — look, I said months ago that there's something that's been reported and needs to be looked at," Homan told Fox News in September. 

Omar said at the time that she had not been contacted in connection to any investigation. 

Several key races are on the statewide ballot, including the governor and lieutenant governor's seats, both of which are open without incumbents running. Georgia's Senate race has drawn considerable national attention, with incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff attempting to keep his seat against Republican challenger Rep. Mike Collins. Ossoff is the only Senate Democrat running for reelection in a state that President Trump won two years ago. 

The ballot also includes other high-profile statewide positions such as the attorney general, secretary of state, and several U.S. House seats.

By mid-July, the number had already surpassed all of 2025, which had been the worst year in recent history with more than 2,200 confirmed cases. By early October, the number of cases topped 4,000.

Ongoing outbreaks have put the U.S. at risk of losing its official measles elimination status, which it has held since 2000. 

In August, health officials in Pennsylvania reported the state's first two deaths connected to measles in 35 years, both in Lancaster County. Both of the individuals were not vaccinated against the virus, state health officials said. Several more deaths associated with measles were later reported as the state's outbreak surged to over 1,000 confirmed cases.

Measles is one of the most contagious infectious diseases. In some cases, it can cause severe infections in the lungs and brain that can lead to cognitive issues, deafness or death. But it can be prevented by vaccination, which medical research has proven to be safe and highly effective.

The CBS News data team has tracked confirmed measles cases nationwide as new data is released by state health departments and the CDC. 

Out of the 2,289 confirmed cases last year, more than 750 were connected to an outbreak in West Texas that led to the deaths of two children. 

Prior to 2025, the highest number of confirmed cases in the U.S. in recent years was 1,274 in 2019, driven by outbreaks in New York, California and Washington state. Most years, the total was much lower. 

Health experts point to lower vaccination rates as the main reason for increases in preventable infectious diseases like measles. The vast majority of cases have been in people who were unvaccinated, and outbreaks have spread in communities with lower vaccination rates.

CDC data shows about 92.4% of kindergartners in the U.S. got their measles-mumps-rubella shots in the 2025-2026 school year, down slightly from 92.5% the previous year. The figure has declined from 95.2% during the 2019-2020 school year — a critical threshold to keep people safe. Only 10 states hit the 95% threshold last year.

"When more than 95% of people in a community are vaccinated, most people are protected through community immunity (herd immunity)," the CDC states.

"I think that parents, for most kids, especially for the measles vaccines, the DTP, all the standard childhood vaccines, it's very important that parents vaccinate their kids," Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, the director of the National Institutes of Health, said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."

Research has found no evidence of increased rates of autism among those who are vaccinated compared to those who are not. Vaccines also undergo intensive safety testing.

Authorities say officers were called to reports of a person shot in the 1600 block of Treasure Cove around 11 p.m. on Sunday.

At the scene, officers say they found a young man inside a vehicle who had been shot. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

CBS News Atlanta cameras spotted multiple patrol vehicles and crime scene investigators examining the car and the area around the vehicle.

Investigators have shared few details about the circumstances around the shooting and have not released the identity of the victim.

The investigation remains ongoing. If you have any information that could help with the case, send a tip through the free DeKalb County PD app or text "DKPD" to 847411, followed by the tip.

Douglas police officers and Coffee County sheriff's deputies responded around 11:09 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9, to a report of an active shooter at 1807 Robin Lane in the Touchton Wood neighborhood.

One of the victims made the initial emergency call, police said. Officers found four adults dead inside the home. A fifth adult was taken to Coffee Regional Medical Center and later pronounced dead.

Autopsies will be conducted at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab.

Police have not released the names of those who died. 

"While we recognize the community's desire for answers, certain details cannot be released at this stage," the department said in a statement. "Our responsibility is to ensure that the investigation is conducted thoroughly, accurately, and without compromising its integrity."

The department also asked the public to respect the families' privacy.

"We recognize the profound impact this loss has had on those closest to the victims and on our community," the statement said. "We ask everyone to respect the privacy of the families and allow them the time and space they need to grieve.

"My plan is to apply to like 10, so that's quite a lot of money with paying for each application but also sending scores is something you have to do to every single school, and it's $15 per school," Gbolade said. "So yesterday, I did two and it was $30 but it adds up pretty quickly."

Gbolade and her classmates at Marietta High School won't have to cover all of their college application fees on their own. Marietta City Schools Superintendent Grant Rivera is using his bonus to help.

"It's really just a blessing for a lot of students like me," Gbolade said.

Rivera said the support is his way of thanking students and increasing their chances of being admitted to college. He said Marietta High School has one of the highest percentages of students experiencing homelessness in metro Atlanta.

Rivera said an $85 application fee could keep students who have worked hard, earned strong grades and become leaders from taking the next step in their education.

"So for me, certainly for my family, it's an opportunity to remove those barriers," Rivera said.

Andra Brantley works one-on-one with Gbolade on her college preparation. He said helping students choose a college that fits their finances is an important part of the process.

"It's not just about choosing an institution," Brantley said.

Brantley said the goal is for students to pursue their education, graduate with as little debt as possible and enter the workforce.

Marietta City Schools expects to have a final count of students who used the application fee assistance in the coming days. Any remaining funds will go to the Marietta Schools Foundation.

Gbolade already has a list of schools where she plans to apply as she works toward a career in medicine.

"Johns Hopkins right here," Gbolade said, pointing to a flag for her top-choice school in Brantley's office. "That's also where my sister went."

Her list also includes Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech and Emory.

She doesn't yet know where she'll enroll, but she's determined to thrive and confident her school district has her back.

Falling on the second Monday in October, the holiday creates a three-day weekend for workers whose employers observe it, including federal employees and some state workers, Pew found.

But a push to shift recognition away from explorer Christopher Columbus and instead honor North America's original inhabitants means the holiday isn't as widely observed as it once was. 

Since Oct. 12 is a federal holiday, some services and businesses will be closed. Here's what to know about what is open and closed on Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples Day. 

Is today a federal holiday? 

Yes, Monday, Oct. 12, is a federal holiday, which means that U.S. government offices will be closed and federal workers have the day off. 

Is the stock market open on Columbus Day?

Yes, the stock market is open on Columbus Day, with neither the New York Stock Exchange nor the Nasdaq market observing it as a holiday. 

The stock market will be open during its regular working hours on Monday from 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m. ET.

Is mail delivered on Columbus Day?

No, the U.S. Postal Service observes Columbus Day as a holiday, which means there will be no regular residential or business mail delivery. All USPS offices will also be closed. 

Are banks open on Columbus Day?

It's best to check with your bank, as some are open while others observe the holiday.

JPMorgan Chase said that its branches will be open on Oct. 12, but will treat the day as a holiday for online transactions. That means customers can't schedule transactions to occur on Columbus Day, and repeating transactions were processed on the preceding business day.

Many other banks are closed on Columbus Day, including Wells Fargo and Bank of America.

Is Costco open on Columbus Day?

Yes, Costco is open for business today, as Columbus Day isn't among the seven holidays the discount chain observes.

Is Walmart open today?

Walmart is also open on Columbus Day, with stores open during regular hours, according to the retailer's website.

Joey Brown survived a gas explosion that burned 85% of his body. After decades of rebuilding, he has a steady job, a church family, and a dream. Now, the people who believed in his second chance are helping him take the next step.

Brown spends his days inside the Central High School in Carrollton, preparing lunch for hundreds of students. These days, he dances alongside his coworkers, smiling at the family he's found.

"Mr. Joey lights up our kitchen," said Beana Nolley, one of Brown's co-workers.  "Oh, he's not the shadow of a man who walked through the door," Nolley said.

Brown was 21 years old when a gas explosion inside his apartment left him with burns on more than 85% of his body.

"I've had probably 30 to 50 surgeries over the years," Brown said. "I was in the hospital for two and a half years. I had to learn how to walk again and feed myself again. And in 2017, I had an amputation because my left hand was melted."

For years, his world stood still. 

"For a long time, I hid from the world. And because of my burns and scars, people would stare at me. But it doesn't bother me no more," Brown said.

He is able to say that now because people believed in him, first at his church. Brown became a greeter for Midway Church in Villa Rica, where he has built relationships with people who have come to depend on his encouragement.

"He is a great, great encourager to many, many people, and they depend on that," said Kay Thompson of Midway Church. "Joey has inspired me because he is an overcomer. And no matter what happens in his life, he keeps on keeping on."

Brown said his church community has given him a sense of family. 

"I prayed a long time for my own family, and Jesus showed me families every week to come and see me and visit me," he said.

Now, he has found another family at school. Kehli Pope is Brown's job coach. She helped him overcome challenges, including not having fingerprints, and find an employer willing to embrace him.

"It just ... he touched my heart because he felt he couldn't get a job, and I wanted him to believe what I saw in him, that I knew he could do this," Pope said.

Brown has now become an irreplaceable part of the crew at Central High School. 

"A lot of kids wave to Mr. Joey all the time, and they just stare and look at him, because they're like, 'Well, he only got one arm, and he's working.' And I'd say to my kids, anything you set your mind to, you can do it," Nolley said.

For Brown, having a job has brought something he once struggled to find: hope for the future. 

"It makes me look forward to tomorrow because I didn't have nothing to look forward to and give myself hope. And now I got hope from having a job again," he said.

That hope has inspired Brown to look toward his next dream: a home of his own. 

"And now that one day I get to have a house … I will have my beagle. We'll call him Snoopy," Brown said.

Brown's story of persistence has touched many lives, including those in his church community. 

"He's an inspiration to me," said Gery Hurley, a church member.

Now, his church family is hoping to give that hope right back. Church Members launched a GoFundMe titled "Carl Joey Brown's Dream" to help him achieve his dream of homeownership and a puppy.

"There's a lot of tradesmen at church that are willing to donate their time, efforts, and in some cases, materials to help … And that's his dream. And that's my dream right now, too," Hurley said.

After everything he has been through, Brown says he no longer sees himself as broken. 

"I was a broken man now, and I'm not broken no more," he said.

With a steady job, a community behind him, and a dream of a home and a beagle named Snoopy, Brown believes his best verse is still unwritten.

Enricia Thornton, known to her students as Coach Ricci, founded East Atlanta Elite Cheerleading and coaches 30 girls.

"I started this program because of the love for cheerleading that I have. The girls not being able to just afford it," Thornton said.

Thornton is making competitive cheer more accessible through scholarships and grants. Families pay a one-time annual fee of up to $350, depending on their finances, she said.

"This program is needed because kids are not welcome at other gyms. If their parents can't pay, they get turned away at the door," Thornton said.

East Atlanta Elite gives girls across metro Atlanta opportunities to compete in cheerleading competitions along the East Coast. Thornton said the team competes at events including PrimeTime and CHEERSPORT Nationals, with a goal of reaching Allstar Worlds.

Rhianna Grierr, 10, has been with East Atlanta Elite for five years.

"We have been winning a lot of competitions. I learned how to do a back handspring. And I also learned how to stunt," Grierr said.

Grierr credits Coach Ricci with helping her develop those skills.

"She never gives up on us. We just love her," Grierr said.

East Atlanta Elite serves girls ages 3 to 18. Thornton said some of her students have gone on to cheer for college teams.

"Pride to me is being inclusive, being expressive and just being out loud," said Avonta Hickson, a parade attendee.

The parade kicked off around noon near the Civic Center MARTA station, traveled north on Peachtree Street and turned onto 10th Street before ending near the Charles Allen Gate at Piedmont Park. Atlanta Pride said it expected nearly 300 groups and more than 5,000 marchers.

Organizers chose "Louder & Prouder" as this year's theme.

"I have a sister and she's a lesbian, so I'm totally an ally and love her no matter what," said Kary Holoman, a supporter of the LGBTQ+ community.

"Pride means being who you are, loving who you are and celebrating each other," said Joe Gallagher, who marched in the parade.

Atlanta Pride canceled all Saturday programming and reworked Sunday's entertainment lineup to keep many of the scheduled performances. The updated schedule included the Starlight Cabaret with special guest Shea Couleé, along with a closing set from headliner JT on the Coca-Cola Main Stage.

CBS News Atlanta marched in the parade. Several members of the team shared what Pride means to them.

"It means family and being all together and having a great time," said Joshua Cole, a CBS News Atlanta anchor.

Cole marched alongside his husband, Craig Lewis, who said Pride means being able to live freely and comfortably without judgment.

Atlanta Pride, founded in 1970, said the festival has drawn more than 350,000 people over the festival weekend in recent years.

"Pride is a big sense of community in a city we love, and we remind the world that it's all about our connection to each other. That's what's important," said Brian Unger, a CBS News reporter.

Atlanta Watershed Management issued the boil water advisory Sunday, Oct. 11, after an interruption affecting the Chattahoochee Water Treatment Plant.

People in the affected area should bring tap water to a rolling boil for one minute, then let it cool before drinking, cooking, preparing baby food or brushing their teeth. Bottled water can be used instead.

Officials also advised people not to drink from public water fountains in the affected area.

Trucks loaded with cots, blankets, shelf-stable meals, comfort kits and cleanup kits are among the supplies sent to support relief efforts, said Allison Flexner, a spokesperson for the organization.

"The Red Cross of Georgia has sent about a half a dozen volunteers to the Gulf Coast area, joining up with about 350 Red Cross workers to help people impacted by the storm," Flexner said.

As communities assess the damage, Red Cross teams are working with local officials to identify where help is needed most.

As of Monday morning, thousands remained without power in Florida and Alabama. Crews are working to restore service, but some of the hardest-hit neighborhoods could remain without electricity for about a week.

When "Snoop" Huntley is leading the offense, the Ravens don't feel like a backup is on the field.

Huntley led Baltimore to a tying touchdown and 2-point conversion in the last minute of regulation and then scored on a 1-yard sneak in overtime as the Ravens rallied to beat the Atlanta Falcons 30-23 on Sunday night.

"There's not a locker room in the NFL that has more confidence in their backup quarterback than we have in Snoop," coach Jesse Minter said.

Added safety Kyle Hamilton, whose interception in overtime ended the game: "When Snoop gets a chance to go out there, it's a Snoop game. It's not a backup quarterback, and he's done it so any times. It's a blessing to have him."

Derrick Henry ran for 102 yards against the Falcons' top-ranked run defense for the Ravens (4-1).

"If we let it be, this can be a launching point for us to really get this thing rolling," said Minter after the Ravens took sole possession of first place in the AFC North.

After Michael Penix Jr. suffered a rib injury late in the fourth quarter, Tua Tagovailoa took over at quarterback for the Falcons (2-3) in overtime. Tagovailoa's pass for Drake London was intercepted by Hamilton to end the game.

"We didn't do enough to win the game," Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski said.

Huntley completed 24 of 32 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns as the fill-in starter for Lamar Jackson, who has an ankle injury and cheered from the sideline in street clothes.

Penix overcame a slow start to pass for 240 yards and a touchdown but could only watch from the bench with a towel on his head as the Ravens put the game away.

Jessie Bates III returned a recovered fumble 36 yards for a score for Atlanta in the first quarter.

Bijan Robinson ran for 86 yards, but Penix's 5-yard scoring pass to Kyle Pitts was Atlanta's only offensive touchdown.

With Baltimore trailing 23-15, Huntley threw a 7-yard scoring pass to Devontez Walker with 40 seconds remaining in regulation and Henry took the direct snap and ran left for the tying conversion. Huntley targeted Falcons backup cornerback Mike Ford for the touchdown pass a play after Mike Hughes left the game with an injury.

After Huntley's third-down pass to tight end Mark Andrews was broken up by a big hit from Falcons safety Xavier Watts with 6:28 remaining, the Ravens were forced to punt.

Hamilton grew up in Atlanta and attended Marist School. There was a strong showing from Ravens fans at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and many were there to cheer for Hamilton.

"I probably know 500 people or something in the stadium right now," Hamilton said. "It was a pretty special moment."

Huntley scored on a second-down run from the 1 to give Baltimore the lead late in regulation.

"I was just doing my job," Huntley said. "Once you get in the end zone you give off an "Ah!" and I was ready to get on the sideline and cheer our defense on."

Bates' return for a first-quarter touchdown gave Atlanta the early lead. Safety Sydney Brown forced the fumble by Andrews.

Penix was a combined 0-for-4 passing on Atlanta's first three possessions before finally reclaiming the form he showed while leading the Falcons to back-to-back wins. A screen pass to Pitts seemed to spark Penix, who was 5-for-5 on a touchdown drive that included a 25-yard completion to London and a 36-yard pass to Jahan Dotson to the Ravens 6.

Penix found Pitts again over the middle for a 5-yard touchdown pass.

The Ravens were more effective than the Falcons in moving the ball most of the first half but had to settle for Tyler Loop's field goals of 21, 51 and 51 yards as Atlanta led 14-9 at halftime.

Baltimore opened the second half with a drive built around a 47-yard run by Justice Hill. Huntley's 18-yard scoring pass to Henry cut the Falcons' lead to 17-15 when the 2-point pass to Andrews was incomplete.

Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews almost added a touchdown to the celebration of his 200th consecutive start, the longest active streak in the NFL.

The son of Pro Football Hall of Fame lineman Bruce Matthews lined up as an eligible receiver on second down from the Baltimore 5-yard line in the third quarter.

Matthews slipped into the end zone and was wide open, and Penix lofted a pass that forced Matthews to jump. He touched the ball with both hands, but the pass was too high and fell incomplete.

Ravens: Starting RG Andrew Vorhees (foot) was inactive after being listed as questionable. Emery Jones Jr. made his first career start. Rookie TE Matt Hibner left in the first half with a hand injury but returned in the third quarter. DLs Broderick Washington (ankle) and Travis Jones left in the fourth quarter.

Falcons: Penix predicted he will return next week from the rib injury. CB C.J. Henderson was listed as questionable with a groin injury in the third quarter. Matthews played after having been listed as questionable with a groin injury.

Ravens: At Cleveland next Sunday.

Falcons: Host Chicago next Sunday.

The Nobel Committee said it was honoring Pillay "for her efforts to promote peace and international law," and that awarding the prize to someone with her body of work on international justice was a message to those seeking to undermine international law institutions.

The South African-born former United Nations human rights chief, who is 85, was recognized for her efforts to promote peace and international law, said Jørgen Watne Frydnes, chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

"This is definitely a message to those who are undermining the international system and institutions," Frydnes said. 

"The system of international law is under tremendous pressure and its institutions are under attack," he said, noting what the committee saw as a shift "towards power politics at the expense of legal frameworks and global respect for law and justice."

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has come under fire from Israel and the Trump administration in recent years, with the U.S. imposing sanctions against the U.N. court last year after it issued an arrest warrant in 2024 for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. President Trump accused the court of "illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel."

The ICC condemned the U.S. sanctions against its staff and said they were intended to "harm (the Court's) independent and impartial judicial work."

Pillay served as an ICC judge from 2003 until 2008, when she resigned to take on the role of United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. She was the chair of the U.N. Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory that said last year it had concluded Israel's actions in Gaza amounted to genocide. Israel dismissed the report as "scandalous."

Pillay is currently serving as an ad hoc judge for the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which is separate to the ICC, in the case of Gambia v. Myanmar, in which Myanmar's ruling military junta stands accused of genocide over its treatment of the nation's Rohingya Muslim minority in the western state of Rakhine.

Frydnes said the committee wasn't immediately able to reach Pillay Friday to tell her she had been awarded the prize, adding from the podium that if she was watching and saw a call coming in from a Norwegian phone number, to "please pick up." 

She soon appeared in a video posted on social media by the head of Amnesty International, being applauded by well-wishers at the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, Germany, where Nazi leaders were put on trial for their crimes against humanity after World War II.

"Perhaps it was meant to be that I was in this historic courtroom... when the announcement was made and I was informed of the award," Pillay said. "We are living through an era when international law and human rights are under significant political attack ... This worsening reality is particularly visible with the attacks on the International Criminal Court."  

"If you clap a little bit louder I may share this prize with Trump," she quipped, drawing laughs from the crowd. She said that when she was informed that she had been awarded the prize, she first thought "it must be a joke," and that as a "lawyer and a judge, I still want to verify this thing."

She noted that she was lauded by the Nobel committee for her courage, which she questioned, saying: "You can imagine how surprised I was. Why would you need courage to speak the truth? You interpret the law, you look at all the facts, so it's an impartial decision you make."

Israel condemns Pillay's honor, U.S. further sanctions ICC 

The Israeli Foreign Ministry blasted the Nobel committee for awarding the prize to Pillay on Friday, saying in a statement posted online that "if there were an award for lies, hatred, and blood libels, Navi Pillay wouldn't just be a contender. She'd be a frontrunner. Her role in the relentless, politically motivated demonization of Israel and promotion of the genoLIE speaks volumes."

It condemned the committee for awarding her as "the grotesque weaponization of an award to legitimize anti-Israel hatred and prejudice."

A separate statement posted on the X account of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Nobel committee had "lost its moral compass. It has awarded its highest honor to a bigot who built her career around inventing and propagating blood libels against the one and only Jewish state."

The Trump administration, hours later, announced further sanctions against the ICC. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the ICC a "threat to U.S. sovereignty" and said the new measures were deemed necessary to ensure the court, which the U.S. has never been a state party to, can never prosecute a U.S. national. 

He said the new sanctions would "ban transactions with this rogue court, cutting off their resources and crippling its ability to operate," adding: "We expect our allies, many of whom are part of the ICC and that rely on American servicemembers for their defense, to rein in the court. If they do not, the United States will continue its campaign to dismantle the ICC, brick by brick, until Americans are threatened no longer."

The ICC has never prosecuted or indicted a U.S. national, but it has investigated the actions of U.S. forces abroad, in countries where it does have jurisdiction, including Afghanistan, and it could theoretically seek to prosecute Americans. 

According to Human Rights Watch, there are "limited situations in which the ICC has jurisdiction over the nationals of countries, such as the U.S., that have not joined the Rome Statute. This includes when a citizen of a non-member country commits war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide on the territory of an ICC member country. That's why U.S. citizens may be subject to the court's jurisdiction as it investigates alleged grave crimes that took place in Afghanistan."

Nobel prize history

Last year, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize for her struggle to achieve a democratic transition in the South American nation, winning recognition as a woman "who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness."

Machado gave President Trump, who has long said he deserves the prize, her Nobel medal shortly after the United States ousted then-President Nicolás Maduro. But it was largely a symbolic gesture: The Nobel Committee has said the honor itself cannot be transferred.

Nominations can be made by a select group of people and organizations, including heads of state or politicians serving at a national level, university professors, directors of foreign policy institutes, past Nobel Prize recipients and members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee itself.

Four of this year's Nobels were announced earlier this week. The Nobel for medicine went to three scientists whose work led to a tool that uses light to help unravel how the brain works. The physics award recognized a scientist's efforts to demystify a rare group of neutrinos. The chemistry prize recognized two scientists for untangling mysterious mirror images in molecules, a discovery that has been used to develop countless drugs.

Canadian poet, essayist and translator Anne Carson won the literature prize Thursday for "bold and inventive" works that fuse the classical and the modern and blur the boundaries of poetry and prose.

The Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences will be announced Monday.

The prize money this year is 12 million Swedish kronor (about $1.2 million).

Education activist Malala Yousafzai is the youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate; she won at 17 in 2014.

The United States is the most-credited country, with 24 awards naming U.S. institutions or individuals, ahead of the United Kingdom (13) and Switzerland (11). No laureate listed as American has won since then-President Barack Obama was awarded in 2009.

The prize has gone unawarded on 19 occasions, most of them during the world wars. In 1948, the year Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated, no prize was awarded; he had been nominated 12 times and never won.

In 1939, a Swedish member of parliament nominated Adolf Hitler, then withdrew the nomination, saying it was never meant seriously.

The GPT-6.1 Astra model "didn't quite meet the bar in terms of staying within scope and authorization, and how it communicates back to the user about the type of work it's done," Saachi Jain, the company's head of safety systems, said in a statement.

Jain said "there's a trade off" between "staying within scope, but also avoiding laziness in terms of how the model actually pursues tasks even when it hits friction." GPT-6.1 Astra performed better on laziness than prior models, she noted.

She added that before OpenAI releases new models to users, the company has an "extremely high bar in terms of safety and alignment," a term used within the industry to refer to whether an AI system matches humans' intentions and values.

The Wall Street Journal was first to report on the decision.

The decision by ChatGPT-maker OpenAI follows a raft of reports in recent months about AI agents behaving in unexpected ways, evading human guardrails or otherwise going rogue. 

Late last week, OpenAI said its models accessed publicly available information on the Securities and Exchange Commission and U.S. Census Bureau's websites. And over the summer, two models that were being tested by OpenAI broke out of their isolated testing environment, gained internet access and breached another company called Hugging Face. 

The company's rival Anthropic also disclosed in July that its model Claude "gained unauthorized access" to outside organizations during testing. Earlier this month, Anthropic said it blocked scientists from using Claude "in ways that could support biological weapons development," and disrupted an "Iran-nexus threat actor" that tried to use the model to generate targeting recommendations for U.S. naval forces.  

Ex-Anthropic and OpenAI researcher Jacob Coxon publicly warned earlier this month that artificial intelligence "could kill us all by the end of the decade," and argued that major frontier AI companies aren't doing enough to manage the risk.

Some executives have called for guardrails on the development of powerful AI to manage some of the safety risks. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has said the industry needs to "slow down" and subject its models to external evaluation, an idea that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman endorsed. Political figures from both major parties have also backed limits on AI development. 

Others have rejected calls for an AI slowdown, arguing that the risks are overstated and restrictions on AI research could cause China to outpace the United States. 

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, whose company designs the chips that power advanced AI technology, called warnings about AI driving humans to extinction "doomsday narratives" in an interview with CBS News. Venture capitalist David Sacks, a former Trump administration AI and cryptocurrency czar, said any safety risks should be managed by the AI companies themselves, and while caution is warranted, the warnings are "becoming a panic."

President Trump has dismissed calls for stronger guardrails, touting the economic benefits wrought by the AI boom and calling worries that the technology could endanger humanity a "hoax."  

Mr. Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson are set to meet Tuesday with executives at several leading AI companies, including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and Meta.
