A new milestone: This year is also virtually certain to be the first full year where global average temperatures were at least 2.7 degrees above preindustrial levels, said Samantha Burgess of the Climate Change Service.

Man found guilty of girls' murders in Delphi, Indiana |
A jury on Monday found Richard Allen guilty of all four charges in the 2017 slaying of two teenage girls in Indiana.
