An Australian labor union says it has fired two officials after investigating their links to a fake Black Lives Matter page on Facebook that attracted hundreds of thousands of followers, and took in money from donors.The National Union of Workers said in a statement Wednesday that it was "deeply distressed and appalled" by the revelations in a CNN report this week that linked one of the officials -- Ian Mackay -- to the fake Facebook page and other online black rights sites."The NUW has launched an investigation into claims made by a CNN report and has terminated the officials concerned," it added.A spokesperson for the union told CNN that it had "terminated" the job of Mackay -- a middle-aged white man -- and fired a second official, Ben Parker. Both held the title of "organizer" at the union, the spokesperson added.The union, which represents thousands of workers in various industries, "is not involved in and has not authorized any activities with reference to claims made in CNN's story," National Secretary Tim Kennedy said in the statement.CNN wasn't immediately able to reach Mackay or Parker for comment on Wednesday.The Facebook page, titled simply "Black Lives Matter," had almost 700,000 followers, more than twice as many as the official Black Lives Matter page.The scam page was tied to online fundraisers that brought in at least 0,000 that supposedly went to Black Lives Matter causes in the United States. At least some of the funds, however, were transferred to Australian bank accounts.Related: The biggest Black Lives Matter page on Facebook is fakeMackay denied running the Black Lives Matter page when CNN asked about his involvement last month. An anonymous Facebook profile under the name "BP Parker" was an administrator of that page until it was suspended, according to Facebook.Ben Parker -- the other now fired official -- declined to answer questions last week about CNN's investigation.Facebook suspended the fake Black Lives Matter page, but only after almost a week of exchanging emails and calls with CNN about the matter.CNN reported on Monday that the Black Lives Matter page consistently linked to websites tied to Mackay, who has registered dozens of domains, many on issues tied to black rights.In April 2015, he registered a site called blackpowerfist.com.Mackay's name, email address, phone number and other details appeared in the registration records for the site until July 2015, when the website enabled a feature that allows site owners to hide their identities and contact information.The Black Lives Matter Facebook page continually drove traffic to websites associated with blackpowerfist.com, which was eventually turned into a discussion forum.A few days after Mackay registered blackpowerfist.com, "BP Parker" shared a link to the website.The people behind the websites and the Facebook page encouraged people to donate through various online fundraising platforms.Related: Zuckerberg unscathed after five-hour Senate grilling sessionA source familiar with some of the payments processed said at least one of the accounts was tied to an Australian IP address and bank account. At least one fundraising account was tied to Ian Mackay by name, according to the source.Another source also familiar with some of the payments processed told CNN that the group had raised around 0,000 that they were aware of.The Black Lives Matter Global Network responded Tuesday to CNN's reporting. It said it was relieved that the fraudulent profiles had finally been taken down after repeated requests, and expressed hope that social media platforms would adopt protocols soon to prevent a repeat."We regret that so many people were deceived by the recent high profile scam into believing that their gifts and donations benefited us," it said in a statement.Mackay did not provide answers to multiple questions from CNN about his apparent links to the scheme, saying that "domain name buying and selling is a personal hobby.""I once bought the domain name only and sold it," he told CNN when asked about a Black Lives Matter website that was once registered to his name.Mackay declined multiple opportunities to clarify his role.-- Carly Walsh contributed reporting.The-CNN-Wire 4237

An autopsy to determine when and how 20-year-old Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts died is planned for today.Tibbetts vanished while on an evening jog on July 18. Nearly a month later, a man who confessed to pursuing her as she ran on a country road led authorities to the field where a body believed to be hers was buried under corn stalks, officials said Tuesday.While authorities have yet to confirm the body is hers, they arrested Cristhian Bahena Rivera, 24, on first-degree murder charges.Rivera, who's an undocumented immigrant, told investigators he saw her and got out of his car. He ran beside Tibbetts -- even after she warned him she would call police, officials told reporters Tuesday. 701

Arizona Sen. John McCain, a former Republican presidential nominee and prisoner of war, has died after a battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer.The 30-year Arizona Senator leaves behind wife, Cindy, and 7 children.John Sidney McCain III, 81, was the son and grandson of Navy admirals. He was born August 29, 1936.As a naval pilot, he narrowly escaped death in a fire aboard the USS Forrestal in 1967. Also in 1967, McCain's plane was shot down over Hanoi, and he was captured by North Vietnamese troops. He was tortured during more than five years as a prisoner of war.RELATED:?50 photos that capture John McCain's personalityCelebrity deaths of 2018: Remembering those we've lost this yearAfter retiring from the Navy in 1981, he moved in Arizona and ran for Congress, winning a U.S. House seat the following year.After two terms, he was elected to the U.S. Senate, succeeding Barry Goldwater, and served in the role until his death.McCain married Cindy Hensley, his second wife, in 1980. She is the daughter of an Arizona beer distributor.McCain is father to seven children, including Bridget, a daughter adopted from Bangladesh. Another daughter, Meghan McCain, is a television host on ABC’s The View.A low point in his political career came when McCain was implicated in the Keating Five campaign contribution scandal of the 1980s. The senator emerged with a new passion to reform money in politics. Called a maverick, he bucked his party as he worked with Democrats on campaign finance and other issues.McCain also campaigned for president in 2000 and 2008. In 2008, he won the Republican nomination with a surprising choice of running mate, then-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.After his second failed presidential bid, McCain continued as senator, assuming the role of an elder statesman. He visited troops overseas and dug into foreign policy. McCain, due to the lasting impacts of his torture as a POW, could not lift his arms above his head. He had other health scares, including bouts of skin cancer that left a large scar on his cheek. In July 2017, Sen. McCain was diagnosed with glioblastoma, the deadly brain cancer which took his life.Even in his waning days, McCain lived up to his reputation as a maverick. In August 2017, less than two weeks after surgery to remove his tumor, McCain returned to the U.S. Senate floor to become the deciding "no" vote on repealing Obamacare.Senator McCain had a joke he famously told throughout his life. Whenever he got upsetting news, he said he slept like a baby, explaining that he slept two hours, woke up and cried, then slept two more hours and did the same. It’s that wit that many of his closest friends say they’ll remember him by in the days ahead.No funeral arrangements have been announced, but in an interview with “60 Minutes”, Senator McCain recently said he wanted the ceremony to take place at the Naval Academy in Maryland.  2913

Anyone using public transportation during the COVID-19 pandemic should not just wear a mask while in transit, but they should also leave their mask on while waiting at bus stops, train stations and other hubs, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance issued on Monday.In guidance published on the CDC website on Monday, the agency "strongly recommended" anyone using public transportation to wear masks during their rides, while waiting at transportation hubs and while boarding planes, trains and buses. The agency also said that all public transportation workers should also wear masks.Not only did the CDC recommend all passengers be required to wear masks, the agency also said that transit workers "should refuse to board anyone not wearing a mask" and require all passengers "to wear masks for the duration of travel." The only time a passenger should remove their mask is to eat, drink, take medication, or identify oneself to a security agent.Transit workers should also be provided with spare masks so they can give them out to riders who are not in compliance, the CDC added.Not covered in the guidance were children under the age of two, those instructed by medical professionals to not wear a mask for health reasons, those with disabilities or mental health conditions who find wearing masks to be difficult, the deaf and hard of hearing or transit workers whose jobs and the safety of others would be jeopardized by wearing a mask.The CDC recommends that all Americans wear masks in situations where keeping six feet distance from others is difficult. Masks limit the spread of nasal and throat droplets that carry the virus, making it less likely for an asymptomatic carrier of the virus to spread it to others.Read more about the CDC's guidance here. 1804
