| The new iPhone is here. A "Most Wanted" suspect is on the loose. And we wonder who really said what in the White House. |
| It's Ashley. Here's the news everyone's talking about Tuesday. |
| But first, everything's bigger better in Texas: West University Place, Texas, was named one of the best cities to live in. Did your city make the list? |
John Bolton is out, but how it happened is debatable |
| President Donald Trump fired John Bolton as his national security adviser Tuesday, noting that the two "disagreed strongly" on many issues. Trump wrote in a tweet, "I informed John Bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the White House." But Bolton said he offered to resign, contradicting Trump's characterization of his departure. He texted several reporters that he had not been fired, as the president said. Bolton's departure comes amid internal tension at the White House, particularly over negotiations with the Taliban and the president's hopes for a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. |

Wildlife is brutal but beautiful |
| The Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition released a few images from its 2019 contest – and they're incredible. The photo contest, representing plant and animal life from across the globe, is developed annually by the Natural History Museum in London. You really need to see these stunning – and sometimes heartbreaking – images. |
 | | A newborn hippo, just days old, was keeping close to its mother in the shallows of Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe, when a large bull suddenly made a beeline for them. He chased the mother, then seized the calf in his huge gape, clearly intent on killing it. After trying to drown it, he tried to crush it to death. All the while, the distraught mother looked on. Adrian's fast reaction and fast exposure captured the shocking drama. Infanticide among hippos is rare but may result from the stress caused through overcrowding when their day-resting pools dry out. A male may also increase his reproductive chances by killing young that are not his, triggering females to go into oestrus, ready to mate with him. Male hippos are also aggressively territorial, and brutal fights are not uncommon. If they feel threatened by an accidental encounter, hippos will also attack and kill humans. | | Adrian Hirschi/Wildlife Photographer of the Year | |
How did the Golden Ray cargo ship capsize? |
| The gleeful rescue team that pulled four trapped crewmen from a capsized cargo ship off the Georgia coast left behind more than 4,000 cars and one big question: Why did the Golden Ray capsize? There are not many possibilities to explore. |
| One Short List reader got a close-up look at the overturned vessel with her dog, Samuel. "I was out playing ball, and you can see the cargo ship in the background," Denise Rocawich, who lives in Brunswick, Georgia, said. "Glad to hear that all the crew has gotten out safely." |

1 hurricane, 17 hours, 5 people, 1 GMC Terrain SUV |
| As Hurricane Dorian approached the Bahamas, John Slack knew better than to stay in his house. What he didn't know was that despite relocating to a "safer" place to ride out the monster storm, it really didn't matter.r . A few snap decisions would result in Slack and four others, including a man with pancreatic cancer, spending the duration of Dorian trapped inside a vehicle for 17 hours. "We just feel blessed to be alive and are so thankful to be here after this life-altering experience," Slack said. |
