LOS ANGELES (AP) — The western Joshua tree needs protection under the California Endangered Species Act because of threats from climate change and habitat destruction, the Center for Biological Diversity said in a petition Tuesday to the state's Fish and Game Commission.The petition comes amid rising concern about the future of the crazy-limbed trees with spikey leaves that have come to symbolize the Mojave Desert and draw throngs to Joshua Tree National Park."The state has to step up for these trees," center conservation director Brendan Cummings said in a statement.The petition asks that western Joshua trees be given "threatened" status under the act.The request states that the trees meet the definition of a plant that "is likely to become an endangered species in the foreseeable future in the absence of the special protection and management efforts."Researchers have found that Joshua trees are dying off due to hotter and drier conditions, and fewer young trees are surviving, according to the center, a nonprofit conservation organization based in Tucson, Arizona.The trees are migrating to higher elevations where there are cooler and more moist conditions, but they face destruction by fire due to invasive, non-native grasses in those locations.Joshua trees also face challenges due to urban sprawl in the desert as well degradation of habitat for energy projects, powerlines, pipelines and off-road-vehicle use.The western Joshua tree's habitat includes Joshua Tree National Park and stretches to the west along the north slopes of the San Bernardino and San Gabriel mountain ranges into the Antelope Valley, northward along the eastern flank of the southern Sierra Nevada and eastward toward the edge of Death Valley National Park and into Nevada.The eastern Joshua tree — a distinctly different plant — lives in the Mojave National Preserve and eastward into Nevada, Arizona and Utah.The Center for Biological Diversity said that under the California Endangered Species Act, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife has three months to make a recommendation to the Fish and Game Commission, which would then vote on the petition next year. 2171

LOS ANGELES (KGTV) - The man accused of killing two men, including an LA County Sheriff's Deputy, and going on a four day crimes spree has mounting charges.Thursday Rhett Nelson, 30, from Utah was to be arraigned in LA court, the proceedings postponed until Jully 22.The District Attorney announced more charges are piled on to Nelson's case, including two counts of murder, one count of attempted murder and two counts of second degree robbery.Nelson was taken into custody around 10:40 a.m. Tuesday by Long Beach police in the 2400 block of Granada Avenue and later turned over to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department investigators, who arrested him. San Diego Police say Nelson is under investigation in connection with five separate convenience store robberies across San Diego County. From June 7-9, four 7-Eleven stores and a Circle K were held up at gunpoint. In each case, the clerk turned over cash and the man left the scene before police arrived.Officers are reviewing surveillance video from the San Diego cases.Nelson is suspected in the shooting of Deputy Joseph Gilbert Solano, who was at the counter of a Jack in the Box restaurant at 2531 W. Valley Blvd. in Alhambra around 5:45 p.m. Monday when he was shot in the back of the head in what sheriff's officials believe was a random attack. Los Angeles police Chief Michel Moore said Nelson is also suspected in a fatal shooting that occurred about an hour earlier in the 1900 block of East Seventh Place, between Santa Fe Avenue and Alameda Street, in the downtown area. That shooting, apparently done from inside a vehicle, left Dmitry Koltsov, 30, dead. After killing Solano police say Nelson tried to kill a third man and robbed a Long Beach 7-Eleven and a Shell Gas Station.The sheriff's department on Wednesday released a booking photo of Nelson."Investigators believe there is a possibility suspect Rhett Nelson may have been involved in additional criminal incidents since entering California,'' according to the department. "With the public's interest in mind, the booking photo is being released in an effort to seek any possible additional victims.'' At a news conference on Tuesday afternoon, sheriiff's Capt. Kent Wegener told reporters that Nelson walked into a Long Beach church around 10 a.m. Tuesday, called his father in Utah and talked about carrying out a pair of shootings. "During that call he referred to committing murder in Southern California, obviously concerning his father,'' Wegener said. "The father called (the) Long Beach Police Department to report what his son had told him. Long Beach did a reverse directory on the phone number provided by the father and responded to that church.'' Pastor Brad Paradee said when Nelson arrived at First Nazarene Church at 2280 Clark Ave., he considered him homeless. "I was with him for one to two hours,'' Paradee told the Daily News. "I gave him food and coffee, let him use my phone to call home and take a shower. He had the gun with him the whole time.'' A short time later, Nelson was seen driving away from the church, and police took him into custody him without incident after he pulled into the driveway of a home on Granada Avenue, Wegener said. The hat and maroon shirt the gunman wore during the Jack in the Box shooting "were clearly visible in the rear seat of his car,'' he said. The suspect and the vehicle -- a Kia Sorento SUV -- also matched the description of those involved in the shooting, according to the captain. A revolver "matching the gun used in the assault'' was found inside the vehicle when a search warrant was served, Wegener said. Nelson's father, Bradley, issued a statement Tuesday regarding his son's arrest. "My wife Jean and I, along with our family, are saddened beyond words to hear of the shooting of Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputy Joseph Solano, and to learn that our son Rhett is being held in connection with this horrifying and senseless attack,'' Bradley Nelson said. "We are cooperating fully with authorities and will provide them with all information they request concerning Rhett and his struggles. We ask that people please pray for Deputy Solano and his family.''There was no word on why Solano was shot or if the gunman knew he was a sheriff's deputy. Solano, 50, was not in uniform and was not carrying a gun or badge or anything that would indicate he was a law enforcement officer, authorities said. Solano -- a 13-year department veteran described as a dedicated family man -- had just dropped off his mother's vehicle to be serviced at a Jiffy Lube near the Jack in the Box restaurant where he was shot, Villanueva said. He noted that Solano's father had recently died, and the deputy was the sole provider for his mother. "We're praying for his recovery,'' Villanueva said of the wounded deputy. "This is the part of this job that I don't relish and I always dreaded this day would happen. It happened way too soon.'' Villanueva described Solano as a "kind-hearted, generous person'' who was always willing to help others. Sheriff's officials said Nelson's relatives in Utah had recently reported him missing, with Wegener telling reporters that the suspect had arrived in Southern California around the first week of June. Nelson's father posted a photo of his son on Facebook on May 30 asking for help finding him, noting he had last been seen in southern Utah in his white 2012 Kia Sorento and that he had a history of drug abuse."Our 30 year old son Rhett Nelson disappeared 3 days ago, taking nothing with him but his phone, leaving all his clothing and his computer behind,'' Bradley Nelson wrote. "We've had no contact with him, his phone is dead or off since then. He has a history of opiate abuse and has been clean for about 6 months, but we know what a terrible struggle that is. We are praying for his safe return.'' By the first week of June, Rhett had made contact with relatives and told them he was in California, Capt. Mike Giles of the St. George Police Department told the Daily News. Moore said detectives developed a connection between the "senseless attack'' on the deputy and the fatal shooting in downtown Los Angeles that occurred around 4:50 p.m. Monday. Moore said a 30-year-old man was standing in the 1900 block of East Seventh Place "when a vehicle arrived and, according to other witnesses, an individual inside the vehicle had a brief exchange with our victim, gunfire erupted and our victim sustained at least one gunshot wound and died at the scene.''"We are led to believe that he (Nelson) is potentially responsible. We are led to that belief on the basis of the suspect Mr. Nelson's physical appearance, including some of his clothing, as well as the vehicle description,'' Moore said. Nelson was being held in lieu of million bail, according to sheriff's inmate records. Nelson had a misdemeanor drug conviction in Salt Lake City in December 2014, but no other criminal history. 6925

LONDON (AP) — A half-million people in the English city of Liverpool will be regularly tested for COVID-19 in Britain's first citywide trial of widespread, rapid testing that the government hopes will be a new weapon in combatting the pandemic.In a statement Tuesday, the government said that testing would begin later this week at sites throughout the city using various technologies, including new methods that can provide results in an hour or less.Everyone who lives or works in the city in northwestern England will be offered the test, regardless of whether they have symptoms.Through a partnership between Liverpool City Council, NHS Test, and Trace and Ministry of Defence, the government would provide the tests.The government said approximately 2,000 military personnel on Thursday would help plan the logistics and deliver tests."Anyone who tests positive, using either a lateral flow test or an existing swab test, must self-isolate along with their household immediately, and their contacts will be traced," officials stated in the press release.The government said anyone who tests – and contacts required to self-isolate – will be entitled to the ￡500 Test and Trace Support Payment.On Monday, 18,950 new confirmed cases of coronavirus were recorded in the UK, the BBC reported. 1301

LOS ANGELES (AP) — An autopsy report says a Black man shot and killed by Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies was wounded 16 times in the front and back. But the report doesn’t shed any light on whether he was on the ground when he was shot. The county coroner's report supplied to The Associated Press on Friday says Dijon Kizzee had four “rapidly life-threatening wounds." The 29-year-old died Aug. 31 in South Los Angeles after deputies tried to stop him for riding a bicycle in the wrong direction. Deputies said they shot Kizzee when he picked up a dropped handgun. Attorneys for the family deny that he picked up the gun. 636

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California is not burning. At least not as much as it has in recent years.Acreage burned through Sunday is down 90% compared to the average over the past five years and down 95% from last year, according to statistics from the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.The stats are good news for a state that has seen terrifyingly destructive and deadly blazes the past two years, but the worst of those fires occurred in the fall.The precipitous drop could be due to the amount of precipitation the state received during a winter of near-record snowfall and cooler-than-average temperatures — so far.Scott McLean, a spokesman for CalFire, said the state hasn't dried out as quickly this year and the temperatures haven't been as consistently hot. Hot spells have been followed by cooler weather and winds haven't been strong."It's a roller coaster with temperatures this year," McLean said. "There have been very little winds so far. We're crossing all fingers and appendages."The most current U.S. Drought Monitor map released last week shows only a tiny portion of California listed as abnormally dry. A year ago, almost the entire state was listed in a range from abnormally dry to extreme drought.Even after another very wet year in 2017 when Gov. Jerry Brown declared the end to a years-long drought, hot weather quickly sapped vegetation of moisture and nearly 4,000 fires had already burned more than 350 square miles (906 square kilometers) at this time of year. In October 2017, fast-moving, wind-driven blazes in Northern California killed 44 people and destroyed thousands of homes.Last year began with less rainfall and a smaller snowpack and the state dried out even faster with more dire the consequences. It was the worst fire year in state history in both acreage and deaths with the Camp Fire in November wiping out the town of Paradise, destroying nearly 15,000 homes and killing 86 people. At the same time, a Southern California wildfire burned across the Santa Monica Mountains and destroyed more than 1,500 structures.CalFire has fought fires on 38 square miles (98 square kilometers) this year, down from an average of 416 square miles (1,077 square kilometers) from 2014-18.Through the same date last year, a total of nearly 4,000 fires had burned more than 970 square miles (2,512 square kilometers). The number of fires this year, about 3,400, is only down about 15% from last year, meaning the fires are much smaller.Typically, 95% of the fires CalFire fights are smaller than 10 acres and "boy are we living up to that," McLean said.The state's figures don't compare data on fires on all federal lands, which account for about 45 percent of the state's acreage.Fires on U.S. Forest Service land this year, however, have also declined. To date, only 41 square miles have burned in national forests, compared to 350 square miles at this time last year, according to fire officials 2936
