 He took a selfie of himself, but ballot selfies are prohibited in Tennessee

 (CNN) Kudos to Justin Timberlake for rocking the vote early.

 While the pop star lives in California, he flew home to Tennessee to take advantage of early voting in his hometown of Memphis.

 Timberlake, who also owns property in Nashville, wasn't wearing a "Suit & Tie," but he still looked pretty adorable in the selfie he posted on Instagram of him about to cast his ballot Monday.

 "Hey! You! Yeah, YOU! I just flew from LA to Memphis to #rockthevote !!! No excuses, my good people!," the singer/actor wrote in his post. "There could be early voting in your town too. If not, November 8th! Choose to have a voice!"

 Of course, fans freaked out a bit as it's not every day a superstar pops up at your local polling place.

 my mom calls me freaaaaaking out Justin timberlake is in front of her in line for voting rn LMAO why didn't I go w her when she asked 😩 — Rachel Ramsbottom (@rachelrams) October 24, 2016

– Justin Timberlake rocked the vote Monday in Memphis, but he could soon be rocking a prison cell thanks to a Tennessee law that prohibits taking pictures or videos inside polling stations, TMZ reports. According to CNN, the superstar flew to his hometown Monday to vote, taking a selfie in front of the Diebold voting machine in the process. Timberlake posted the photo to Instagram with the caption: "Choose to have a voice! If you don't, then we can't HEAR YOU! Get out and VOTE!" Now he could face 30 days in jail and/or a $50 fine. The local district attorney's office says the incident is "under review." The Tennessee legislature passed the law banning the taking of photos and videos in polling stations in 2015, the Commercial Appeal reports. Timberlake would be the first person prosecuted under the new law. In addition to voting and possibly breaking a law, Timberlake posed for photos outside the polling station at the New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church. Local school board candidate Suzanne Jones posted hers to Twitter. "I said, 'I know you’ve done it a lot, but I’d appreciate a picture with you,'" Jones tells the Commercial Appeal. "Someone was going to take it for me. But he said, 'No, I can take it. I do have gorilla arms, since I do this a lot.'" Timberlake lives in Los Angeles and owns property in Nashville but is still registered to vote in Memphis. The local election commission chairman says that's not really a problem. The selfie, on the other hand...


– A Dutch report on the MH17 crash concludes the plane was shot down by a Russian-made Buk surface-to-air missile that struck the front left side of the plane near the cockpit, Dutch Safety Board Chairman Tjibbe Joustra said at a press conference on Tuesday. The report, the result of a 15-month-long investigation, notes the explosion sent thousands of metal objects in all directions and hundreds hit the plane with "tremendous force," Joustra said, per the Guardian. He added shrapnel from the Buk missile was found inside the bodies of the pilots, who died instantly, along with traces of paint from a Buk missile. The BBC's Anna Holligan, who spoke to relatives briefed on the report, says all passengers and crew would've lost consciousness immediately as the plane broke apart in the air. A 65-foot reconstruction of a portion of the plane, revealed at the press conference, showed holes perforating the upper part of the cockpit, according to reporter Luke Harding. "We can't be 100% sure" that no one suffered, "but we've got to sort of think that was the case," a relative says. The report mainly focuses on the cause of the crash and avoids "blame and culpability"; a separate criminal investigation will point fingers, reports AFP. The report at least rejects Moscow's claim that the Boeing 777 was downed by a missile fired by Ukrainian troops on July 17, 2014, on a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. But about 30 minutes before the report's release, Moscow had dismissed it. "It's always special when people already know that they don't agree with a report that's not even published yet," Joustra said.

 Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 crashed as a result of a Russian-made Buk missile, the Dutch Safety Board says.

 The missile hit the front left of the plane causing other parts to break off, it said in a final report into the July 2014 disaster, which killed 298 people.

 The West and Ukraine say Russian-backed rebels brought down the Boeing 777, but Russia blames Ukrainian forces.

 The report does not say who fired the missile, but says airspace over eastern Ukraine should have been closed.

 The plane - flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur - crashed at the height of the conflict between government troops and pro-Russian separatists.

 Most of the victims were Dutch - 196, including some with dual nationality. The other passengers and crew were nationals from 10 countries.

 How the findings were presented

 A separate Dutch-led criminal investigation is under way.

 The report says the three crew members in the cockpit were killed by the missile explosion instantly.

 However, it adds, it was unclear at which point the others died, and the possibility of some remaining conscious for some time during the one-and-a-half minutes it took for the plane to go down could not be ruled out.

 Matching paint

 Presenting its findings at the Gilze-Rijen military base in the Netherlands, the safety board showed plane parts that had been brought back from the rebel-held Donetsk region and reconstructed.

 Board president Djibbe Joustra said the impact pattern could not have been caused by a meteor, an air-to-air missile or an internal explosion.

 Instead, he said, a warhead carried by a surface-to-air missile had detonated above the left-hand side of the cockpit, causing structural damage.

 Mr Joustra said the missile was a Buk - which experts say both Russian and Ukrainian armies possess.

 He added that paint had been found on metal fragments within the plane that matched with missile fragments on the ground.

 Mr Joustra also said there had been sufficient reason to close off Ukrainian airspace but Ukraine did not do that - and on the day of the crash, 160 flights flew over the area in question.

 Remembering the victims - Shared sadness and sunflowers

 The board does not have the authority to apportion blame, under the rules governing international crash investigations.

 But speaking to reporters after the news conference, Mr Joustra said pro-Russian rebels were in charge of the area from where the missile that hit MH17 had been fired.

 The government in Ukraine and several Western officials have said the missile was brought from Russia into the rebel-held part of Ukraine.

 The Dutch-led criminal investigation has already published photos of the launcher being transported around rebel areas.

 Warhead discrepancy

 In the report, the Dutch Safety Board says the weapon used was a 9N314M-model warhead carried on the 9M38M1 missile, as installed on the Buk surface-to-air missile system.

 It adds that the type of fragments found in the wreckage and bodies of crew members in the cockpit were bow-tie or cube shaped - only found in the 9N314M warhead.

 However, the Russian side disputed the Dutch findings insisting that only older warheads and missiles of the 9M38 type still in the hands of the Ukrainian army could have been used as they were the only weapons with "butterfly or bow-tie" fragments. The Russian army had phased them out.

 "The 9M38M1 missile has no H-shaped striking elements," Yan Novikov, the head of Buk missile company Almaz-Antey said.

 In their submission to the Dutch report, the Russian experts argue that investigators should not have discounted other potential reasons for plane's destruction, such as an air-to-air rocket. This is completely rejected by the Dutch Safety Board.

 Dutch Prosecutor Fred Westerbeke on Tuesday said a number of "persons of interest" had been identified, but there was still much to be done and the inquiry would not be finished this year.

 In official reaction on Tuesday:

 Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte urged Russia to co-operate in the investigation, saying "the priority now is to find and pursue those who are responsible"

 Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk says he had "no doubt" that the crash was "a planned operation of the Russian special services"

 The White House said the US would "fully support all efforts to bring to justice those responsible"

 Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov called the Dutch crash investigation "biased in nature" and said Russia was "ready to present its own information"

 Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said his government's "commitment to bringing the perpetrators to justice remains as strong as it was on that fateful day 17 July 2014"

 Eduard Basurin, deputy defence minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic in eastern Ukraine, said rebel forces "did not have a Buk anti-air defence system at that time".

 Report 'wrong'

 Earlier, Russian officials from Almaz-Antey - the state firm that manufactures Buk missiles - said the evidence suggested the plane had been shot down by a Buk missile fired by Ukrainian forces.

 Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption The report left key questions unanswered

 Using their own simulation, the officials said the missile had been fired from Zaroshchenke in Ukrainian-controlled territory, some 20km (12 miles) away from the area highlighted by the Dutch report.

 They argued the missile used was a decades-old model no longer used by Russian forces.

 In July, Russia vetoed a draft resolution at the UN Security Council to set up an international tribunal into the MH17 air disaster.

 President Vladimir Putin said at the time that such a tribunal would be "premature" and "counterproductive". ||||| These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to.

 Issuing the long-awaited findings of its investigation into the crash of a Malaysian passenger plane over eastern Ukraine, the Dutch Safety Board says it was downed by a Russian-made Buk missile but does not say who was responsible for firing it. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).

 Gilze-Rijen (Netherlands) (AFP) - Investigators concluded Tuesday that Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down by a Russian-made BUK missile fired over war-torn Ukraine, but 15 months after the disaster Russia and the West remain locked in a bitter blame game.

 The Dutch-led inquiry did not identify who launched the missile that crashed into the Boeing 777 on July 17, 2014, killing all 298 people on board.

 But Russia, Ukraine and Western nations all seized the moment to step up accusations that the fault for the tragedy lay at someone else's door.

 "Flight MH17 crashed as a result of the detonation of a warhead outside the airplane against the left-hand side of the cockpit," the chairman of the Dutch Safety Board, Tjibbe Joustra, told a press conference.

 "This warhead fits the kind of missile that is installed in the BUK surface-to-air missile system."

 The inquiry delineated a 320-square-kilometre (120 square mile) area in eastern Ukraine from which the missile must have been fired.

 And while the report did not specify whether it was under the control of pro-Russian separatists battling Ukrainian forces, the board's chairman Joustra later seemed to suggest it was.

 "It's an area where the borders have fluctuated a lot, but it's a territory where the pro-Russian rebels have laid down the law," he told Dutch media after briefing lawmakers.

 The much-anticipated report also said it was possible that some on board the flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur may have remained conscious during the 90 seconds it took to crash.

 - Conspiracy theories -

 The White House, which has long accused pro-Russian rebels of being behind the attack, said its "assessment is unchanged -- MH17 was shot down by a surface-to-air missile fired from separatist-controlled territory in eastern Ukraine."

 View gallery An Emergencies Ministry member walks at a site of a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 plane crash near th …

 British Defence Secretary Michael Fallon told AFP the report was a "step closer to the truth" and "undermines completely the conspiracy theories that Russia has trying to put around since this appalling act."

 But Moscow reacted angrily saying it had "serious doubts" about the goal of an investigation conducted in the Netherlands, adding it was merely "a justification of accusations that were put forward before."

 Hundreds of people, who attended the release of the report at a Dutch air base, were confronted with the eerie reconstruction of the plane's cockpit, composed of recovered wreckage.

 Standing in front of the reconstruction, Joustra also hit out at Kiev for not shutting down the airspace above the conflict zone.

 On the day that MH17 was blown out of the skies, some 160 commercial flights overflew the area, the inquiry said.

 "There was sufficient reason for the Ukrainian authorities to close the air space above the eastern part of their country," Joustra said.

 Kiev hit back however that such a conclusion was "groundless" as it had been in the process of "gradually closing all sky corridors of an altitude of 9,750 metres and less."

 - Closure for families -

 Relatives were visibly shaken after first being privately briefed by Joustra in The Hague.

 "They showed us the fragments that were inside the plane," Oehlers said, adding in the room "it was so quiet, you could have heard a pin drop."

 The downing of MH17 threw the global spotlight back on the uprising in eastern Ukraine and was followed by a toughening of Western sanctions against Russia.

 Tuesday's findings were swiftly dismissed by the missile maker Almaz-Antey, which said its tests showed the jet being likely shot down by an outdated version of the BUK missile no longer used by Russia.

 Nick de Larrinaga, Europe Editor for IHS Jane's Defence Weekly, queried that argument, telling AFP: "This is not borne out by the evidence, which shows they remained in Russian service and in Russian military stockpiles at the time of the shootdown."

 Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk wasted no time in pointing the finger at Russia.

 "I personally have no doubt that this was a planned operation of the Russian special services aimed at downing a civilian aircraft," Yatsenyuk told a cabinet meeting.

 The Dutch report makes 11 recommendations, aiming to improve safety for civilian aircraft.

 They include that countries involved in a conflict should close their air space in a timely manner, and that stricter rules should be applied by international aviation bodies.

 But it has stressed its mandate was not to determine who pulled the trigger, amid a separate criminal probe by Dutch prosecutors.

 Malaysia vowed it would seek the prosecution of the "trigger happy criminals" who downed the flight, the second aviation tragedy for the country after the mysterious disappearance of flight MH370 in March 2014.

 Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte meanwhile called on Russia to cooperate in the criminal investigation, adding "the priority now is to find and pursue those who are responsible."

 Relative Pierre Chardom, who lost his 51-year-old brother in the disaster, told AFP he felt had some "closure on all the uncertainty which I had had until now." ||||| Tweet with a location

– The Florida teen accused of killing his parents with a hammer before throwing a party told his best friend that he was possessed by the devil and had taken three ecstasy pills before the murder. The friend says Tyler Hadley, 17, confessed to the killings and showed him the bodies after the last guests had left, the New York Daily News reports. "I opened the door," says the friend. "I saw bloody sheets piled everywhere. I looked down and I saw his dad's leg there." The friend tipped off police, who found the bodies in the home's master bedroom under a pile of furniture. Ecstasy doesn't usually cause violent reactions, but the teen "could have been having a first episode psychotic break that was made worse or triggered" by a large dose of the drug, a neuropharmacologist tells ABC. The friend also told police that Hadley's plan was to commit suicide by taking 10 Percocet pills "once he got caught, but that failed." Hadley, who is on suicide watch in jail, has been charged with second-degree murder. His attorney entered a not guilty plea on his behalf yesterday.

Tyler Hadley, Florida teen accused of killing parents with hammer, tells friend he was on ecstasy

 Port St. Lucie Police Tyler Hadley, 17, of Port St. Lucie, Fla. is accused of killing his parents with a hammer.

 The Florida teen accused of brutally beating his parents to death with a hammer before throwing a house party confessed the grisly secret to his best friend, insisting he was possessed by the devil and had taken three ecstasy pills before the murders.

 Tyler Hadley, 17, allegedly told Michael Mandell to stay at the party until everyone left to see his parents' bodies, which police say he stashed in a bedroom.

 "I didn't want to," recounted Mandell to WPTV. "I opened the door. I saw bloody sheets piled everywhere. I saw broken pictures with blood on them, and I looked down and I saw his dad's leg there."

 Hadley, of Port St. Lucie, is accused of bashing his parents' heads in Saturday afternoon before sending out a massive Facebook invite to his house. About 40 to 60 people showed up later that night, partying until early Sunday morning.

 "It was a normal party," Mandell said. "Everyone was just having a fun time. Laughing around. Tyler was having a fun time himself, he was acting like nothing had happened."

 Mandell, also 17, said Hadley admitted that he had taken the ecstasy pills, thought "the devil possessed him" and planned on committing suicide.

 He also said the Hadleys were having financial problems and that the teen frequently fought with his parents.

 Hours after the revelers left, police received an anonymous tip and found the bodies of Mary Jo Hadley, 47, and Blake Hadley, 54. A 22-inch framing hammer was found between them. Authorities said the teen attempted to cover the cadavers in books and towels.

 Hadley, who is on suicide watch, made his first appearance in court Tuesday. He was charged with second-degree murder and denied bail.

 Assistant State Attorney Tom Bakkehdal said the prosecution would argue for life in prison. Hadley, who is six months short of his 18th birthday, is not eligible for the death penalty.

 With News Wire Services ||||| The teenager who allegedly used a claw hammer to bludgeon his parents to death twice confided in his best friend that he intended to kill them, but the friend dismissed the comments because the teen had made such threats before, according a police affidavit released today.

 The suspect also told a friend that he attacked his parents, Mary Jo and Blake Hadley, after taking a large dose of the drug ecstasy.

 Details of the double murder emerged as Tyler Hadley's attorney Mark Harllee filed a not guilty plea. Hadley is currently being held at the Port Lucie County jail in Florida.

 Hadley has confessed to killing his parents, police said. He then threw a boozy party for about 60 friends while the bodies of his parents laid in a locked bedroom.

 During the party, Hadley pulled his best friend Michael Mandell aside and told him that he killed his mother and father.

 The Police Affidavit on the Arrest of Tyler Hadley for the Hammer Murder of His Parents

 When Mandell didn't believe Hadley, "Tyler pointed out both his parent's vehicles were still in the driveway," according to the affidavit.

 He wasn't convinced until Hadley took Mandell to the master bedroom where Mandell saw a man's leg and recognized Blake Hadley's shorts.

 Hadley told his friend, who he has known since they were 8, that "he stood behind his mother while she was at the computer and thought about killing her for about five minutes. Then he decided to strike his mother in the back of the head with a hammer."

 After the initial blows, Hadley said that his mother turned to him and asked, "Why?"

 Hadley's father came out of the bedroom when he heard his wife scream.

 "Tyler told MM [Mandell] that he and his father stared into each other's eyes for a minute. Tyler said he then went after his father and murdered him," the affidavit states.

 Mandell said Hadley took his parents' cell phones and put them in his bedroom so that they couldn't get to them and took one of their credit cards, so he would have access to their money.

 It took the teenager about three hours to mop up the blood, he allegedly told Mandell, before his friends arrived for the party.

 According to the affidavit Mandell told police Hadley was going to take 10 Percocet pills and kill himself, but the police showed up instead.

 It was Mandell who called police to alert them to the murders. When they arrived at the home they found Hadley glassy eyed and talkative. When the boy said they couldn't come in, the police entered anyway on the possibility that someone inside could be in danger.

 The officers found the parents' bodies in a locked bedroom beneath furniture that had been piled into there from other rooms in the house, the affidavit said.

 Mandell told television station WPTV that Hadley had taken three ecstasy pills and didn't believe his friend's confession until he saw the father's body.

 "After he told me I didn't believe him, because he's been my best friend forever I would never suspect anything like this," he told the station.

 Mandell's mother, Michele Mandell, told ABCNews.com that she had known Hadley for nearly a decade. Tyler Hadley, she said, was a "great kid."

 Dr. Julie Holland, an assistant professor of psychiatry at New York University who has studied ecstasy, said, "It is absolutely not known to cause violent reactions."

 The tablets Hadley allegedly took may have been sold as ecstasy, Holland said, but could have been anything. |||||

 They go to Karl Lagerfeld's luxury Chanel supermarket, of course.

 Tuesday saw the fashion showman put on a "Chanel Shopping Center" fall-winter show that featured an audacious Walmart-sized reconstruction and saw the celebrity pair applaud vigorously from the front row. They clearly didn't seem to mind sitting near the canned goods food section.

 However, events took a nose dive after the show when the rowdy fashion crowd looted the set.

 Here are the highlights of this and Tuesday's other incredible ready-to-wear shows in Paris.

 CHANEL'S SUPERMARKET IS SO LUXURY IT GETS LOOTED

 The attention to detail was astounding.

 An entire supermarket had been reconstructed across several hundred square meters of Paris' Grand Palais.

 Guests stared in disbelief at shelves bursting with consumable products especially made for this show: bottles of "Tweed cola," wine branded "Maison Gabrielle," and even grilled bread stamped "CC."

 This was clearly a fall-winter show like no other.

 Chanel trolleys at the side led on to a tall pile of coconuts next to writing "1 for the price of 2," a fresh fruits and veg section, and large signs advertising Chanel's latest special offers. Instead of discounts they read "50 percent markup."

 "Luxury should be worn like you're going to the supermarket. It's the pop art of the 21st century," said the couturier in high spirits.

 At the very least, it's proof that Lagerfeld is fashion's greatest showman.

 Though the set was a universal hit, perhaps Monsieur Lagerfeld later had one regret: telling revelers they could help themselves to the produce.

 It triggered a stealing-frenzy, with security guards having to swoop in as revelers stripped the shelves. At the exit, fashionistas' bags were actually searched to remove stolen goods. One fashion editor succeeded in making off with a Chanel doormat.

 KEIRA KNIGHTLEY, RIHANNA AND CHANEL COOKING OIL

 "Pirates of the Caribbean" star Keira Knightley — in a monochrome Chanel dress with tiny waist — rocked the front row alongside her husband, Klaxons singer James Righton whom she married last year.

 They entered a cordoned-off area after the show alongside superstar Rihanna near some Chanel cooking oil.

 It triggered a media frenzy with a worried Knightley saying, "I think there's a fight breaking out."

 Her husband, who watched from the sidelines, seemed puzzled by the luxury supermarket concept. "It's my first Chanel show. It was fairly mad. Is this normal?"

 Yes, at least in Lagerfeld's world it is.

 THE CHANEL CLOTHES CHANNEL YOUTH AND COLOR

 Just like a supermarket, Lagerfeld produced a collection that was so varied there was choice for everyone.

 With attention given to large rounded shoulders, exaggerated upper torsos, cinched or exposed midriffs and lashings of tweed, Lagerfeld mixed and matched.

 Stylish brown tweed was turned into a jumpsuit — with voluminous pockets on the bust and great 80s turn ups.

 A section that seemed to channel the designs of artist Vassily Kandinsky provided bursts of color on driving coats and a pair of bold blue and green leggings. It looked very young, but Lagerfeld quipped after the show: "Never young enough for today's standard. The older the (women) are, the younger they want to look!"

 For the fun factor, models carried large leather and silver-bound Chanel shopping baskets as they theatrically browsed the catwalk shelving.

 If the show seemed to lack the focus of Lagerfeld's best shows, some fantastic single garments made up for it. One black three-quarter length coat had a lovely fluidity with delicate diagonal ribs.

 IRIS VAN HERPEN'S SHOCK TACTICS

 The human body was in focus at Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen's sublime debut catwalk show on the ready-to-wear calendar.

 Van Herpen likes to shock.

 In this show the shock-factor saw three models writhing in suspended square plastic bags that had the oxygen sucked out.

 It disturbed several guests as it looked as if the models were in discomfort or couldn't breathe.

 In the clothes, embroidered beads on mini sheaths resembled shining human cells on models in jutting boots without heels. While some beautifully executed techno-fabric, silver, cocktail dresses glistened like organic fluid.

 Several looks also seemed to turn the body inside out: black and white chubby fur tops had the top slashed off to reveal flaps of fabric like exposed flesh.

 The collection perfectly towed the line between surreal artistry and wearability, but next time Van Herpen shouldn't try to frighten guests.

 ALEXANDER MCQUEEN'S LITTLE BO PEEP HAS LOST HER WEREWOLF

 Sarah Burton produced a cryptic but accomplished show for Alexander McQueen set on an emotive green heath.

 A-line skirts in broderie anglaise, large white rounded collars, thigh-high lace up boots and tulle embellishments pointed to an 18th century vibe.

 Then, the patches of long black and white fur and animal eyebrows at times looked like Burton was going for a werewolf vibe.

 Was she chanelling the beginnings of British gothic horror writing that started in the late 18th century?

 VALENTINO'S ANSWER TO THE SWINGING SIXTIES

 Valentino 's Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli gave their diaphanous, and slightly puritanical designs, an injection of 1960s and Pop Art.

 Though the design duo they didn't pay attention to the menswear vibe sweeping fall-winter shows so far — and people don't expect uber-feminine Valentino to, either — this show definitely felt more "trendy" than in previous seasons.

 The best look was a shimmering silk purple, silver and pewter baby-doll dress with black color. And some of the harlequin looks were eye-catching, though sometimes a little busy.

 It was the couture-infused gowns they did best — after all, couture is almost synonymous with the house.

 Fastidiously embroidered butterflies gave a beautiful lift to a sexy sheer tulle cocktail gown and continued with a bird motif on another in deep blue.

German designer Karl Lagerfeld (R) and model Cara Delevingne appear at the end of his Fall/Winter 2014-2015 women's ready-to-wear collection show for French fashion house Chanel at the Grand Palais transformed into a 'Chanel Shopping Center' during Paris Fashion Week March 4, 2014.

 PARIS (Reuters) - Most designers try to make consumers dream at their fashion shows, but Karl Lagerfeld sought to bring them back into real life by presenting his latest collection in a spoof Chanel supermarket.

 Paris' prestigious Grand Palais, where the French brand traditionally hosts its glamorous shows, was filled with endless rows of Chanel-branded pasta, cheeses, sauces, detergents and other products of daily life created solely for the occasion.

 "For me the supermarket is the pop art of today," Lagerfeld said on Tuesday after the show, admitting he rarely went to supermarkets himself.

 Pushing brightly colored trolleys and pretending to exchange gossip, models picked up products with tongue-in-cheek labels such as Coco beer bottles, Chateau Gabrielle white wine and Chanel crémeuh - or creamoo - milk.

 Others carried metallic baskets adorned with Chanel's iconic handbag chains.

 The designer's new autumn/winter collection was full of oversized tweed jackets worn over shiny pencil-thin pants complete with flashy sneakers, also spotted at January's haute couture show.

 Some models wore comfortable-looking orange woolen jogging suits and fluorescent pink shredded leggings.

 Speakers spat out loud pop music, interrupted by public announcements such as "the young Marine is waiting for her parents at the cashiers" or "Mrs Martin is requested at the fresh foods department".

 Lagerfeld said Chanel had created more than 500 different labels and put more than 100,000 items on display, some of which would be later given to charity.

 No cost or detail was spared to create the atmosphere of a typical French supermarket such as Carrefour.

 Hanging over the white aisles, some giant yellow signs offered 20 percent discounts while others said: "the DIY department is open on Sundays," pointing to recent controversy in France over allowing DIY shops to trade on Sundays.

 Once the show was over, many members of the audience furiously seized Chanel food products from the shelves.

 "The supermarket concept was brilliant as it put fashion into real life," French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis, previously the face of Chanel's Coco perfume and lipstick, told Reuters after the show.

 Lagerfeld, who turned 80 last year and has spent three decades at Chanel's helm, is credited with having regularly infused fresh life into the brand to keep it modern and in tune with its times while remaining faithful to its heritage.

 "It is not because you buy Chanel clothes that you should not be allowed into the supermarket," Lagerfeld said after exchanging hugs and kisses with his A-lists guests such as singer Rihanna and actress Keira Knightley.

What is a shorter version of the above article?

– Chanel's show at Paris Fashion Week yesterday had a somewhat pedestrian theme: The Grand Palais, where the show was held, was turned into a Chanel supermarket. There were rows of food and household items, all with Chanel-branded names like Coco beer and Tweed cola, and models pushed shopping carts or carried baskets through the aisles while music and fake announcements played ("the young Marine is waiting for her parents at the cashiers," for example); signs advertised "sales"—like "1 for the price of 2" and "50% markup." Altogether, more than 100,000 items were displayed with more than 500 different labels; some will be donated to charity, Reuters reports, but others were grabbed by audience members after the show ... and things got so crazy that security guards had to intervene, with the AP noting fashionistas' bags were actually searched upon exit, with stolen goods removed, though one apparently made off with a Chanel doormat. "For me the supermarket is the pop art of today," said designer Karl Lagerfeld ... though of course he also said he himself rarely actually visits supermarkets. Chanel last made headlines for featuring models in sneakers.

 The nominee, Philip Bilden, a former military intelligence officer who ran the Hong Kong branch of a private equity firm, said in a statement that he had informed Defense Secretary Jim Mattis that he did not want to continue to seek confirmation a month after he had been named for the post.

 It was the latest case in which wealthy businesspeople whom Mr. Trump has favored for government jobs have been tripped up by the demands of avoiding conflicts of interest. On Feb. 3, Vincent Viola, a billionaire Wall Street trader and Mr. Trump’s choice for secretary of the Army, withdrew because he decided it was too difficult to detach himself from his business interests.

 Mr. Bilden said in a statement that he fully supported the president’s agenda. But he added, “After an extensive review process, I have determined that I will not be able to satisfy the Office of Government Ethics requirements without undue disruption and materially adverse divestment of my family’s private financial interests.” He did not elaborate. ||||| WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's choice to be secretary of the Navy, businessman Philip Bilden, said Sunday he was withdrawing from consideration for the post, citing concerns about privacy and separating himself from his business interests.

 Bilden's withdrawal raises similar issues to that of Vincent Viola, Trump's nominee for Army secretary who stepped aside earlier this month. Just last week, the Pentagon sought to tamp down reports that Bilden might pull out.

 Bilden was an intelligence officer in the Army Reserve from 1986-1996. He relocated to Hong Kong to set up an Asian presence for HarbourVest Partners LLC, a global private equity management firm. Bilden recently retired from HarbourVest Partners after 25 years.

 In a statement released Sunday by the Pentagon, Bilden said he determined that he would not be able to satisfy the Office of Government Ethics requirements without what he called "undue disruption and materially adverse divestment of my family's private financial interests."

 Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said in a statement that he would make a recommendation to Trump for a nominee in the coming days.

 On Feb. 19, after press reports suggested that Bilden might drop out, the Pentagon issued a statement saying Bilden had assured Mattis he remained committed to serving as Navy secretary if confirmed by the Senate and that Mattis was confident Bilden was "the right leader" to rebuild the Navy and Marine Corps.

 Viola cited his inability to successfully navigate the confirmation process and Defense Department rules concerning family businesses. A military veteran and former Airborne Ranger infantry officer, he was also the founder of several businesses, including the electronic trading firm Virtu Financial. He also owns the National Hockey League's Florida Panthers and is a past chairman of the New York Mercantile Exchange. |||||Summary:

– The financier that President Trump nominated to be secretary of the Navy has decided that the job would be too hard on his finances. Philip Bilden, a former military intelligence officer who spent 20 years working in private equity in Hong Kong, cited conflict-of-interest rules when he withdrew from consideration Sunday, reports Reuters. "After an extensive review process, I have determined that I will not be able to satisfy the Office of Government Ethics requirements without undue disruption and materially adverse divestment of my family's private financial interests," Bilden said in a statement. The Pentagon and Sean Spicer firmly denied reports earlier this month that Bilden was likely to pull out, the New York Times reports. "Just spoke with him and he is 100% commited (sic) to being the next SECNAV pending Senate confirm," Spicer tweeted on Feb. 18. The AP notes that Bilden's withdrawal is very similar to that of Vincent Viola, Trump's pick for Army secretary. The Wall Street billionaire pulled out on Feb. 3, citing rules concerning family businesses. In a statement, Defense Secretary James Mattis said Bilden had "significant challenges he faced in separating himself from his business interests" and promised to recommend a new Navy candidate within days.


An agency nurse working for the NHS was filmed switching off her patient's life support machine by mistake.

 Tetraplegic Jamie Merrett, 37, had a bedside camera set up at his home in Wiltshire, after becoming concerned about the care he was receiving.

 Within days, it captured the moment Violetta Aylward switched off the ventilator, leaving him brain-damaged.

 Ambition 24hours, which supplied her, said it could not comment as an internal investigation was continuing.

 A confidential report by Wiltshire social services into the incident - leaked to the BBC's Inside Out programme - concluded the agency was fully aware it was required to supply a nurse with training in the use of a ventilator, but the company did not have adequate systems in place to check what training their staff had received.

 Mr Merrett, from Devizes, has been cared for at home on a life-support machine since 2002 after being left paralysed from the neck downwards following a road accident.

 Image caption Despite being tetraplegic, Mr Merrett was able to use a wheelchair and a voice-activated computer

 Despite his disabilities, he was able to talk, use a wheelchair and operate a computer using voice-activated technology.

 His sister Karren Reynolds said he had become increasingly worried about serious errors involving nurses operating his ventilator, but claimed that health bosses did not act on e-mails of concern which he sent them.

 In January 2009, he arranged to have a camera installed in his room. A few days later, the ventilator was switched off.

 After 21 minutes, the machine was eventually restarted by paramedics but by then Mr Merrett had suffered serious brain damage.

 Legal action

 Ms Reynolds, who is considering legal action, said his level of understanding had dropped to that of a young child.

 "His life is completely changed. He doesn't have a life now," she said.

 "He has an existence but it's nowhere near what it was before. He is very brain damaged compared to what he was before. He was a highly intelligent man and you could have long in-depth conversations with him and now it tends to be more simplistic."

 Image caption A review found the firm that supplied Ms Aylward did not have adequate systems to check staff training

 The solicitor acting for Mr Merrett, Seamus Edney of SJ Edney in Swindon, said: "In my experience, this is the worst case of negligence on the part of a nurse.

 "No-one has come forward to make any admission, so now almost two years after the event we are trying to get someone to admit liability for what has happened."

 The NHS Wiltshire Primary Care Trust said in a statement: "[We have] put in place a series of actions to ensure that such an event will not occur again either for this patient or others. The incident is the subject of likely litigation so the PCT is restricted in what further it may say in public."

 Ms Aylward has been suspended while the incident is investigated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

 Their guidelines say a nurse should work within their level of competence and have the skills to undertake whatever care they are delivering.

 Ms Aylward, who is from Reading, has not responded to requests for an interview.

 The programme will be shown on Inside Out West and Inside Out South on BBC One at 1930 BST on Monday 25 October. ||||| A quadriplegic English man has been left brain damaged after a nurse accidentally switched off his ventilator _ an act caught on a camera the patient had reportedly installed because he was concerned about the quality of his care.

 Footage released Monday by the BBC shows nurse Violetta Aylward turning off Jamie Merrett's ventilator in January 2009, then struggling to revive him. The broadcaster said it took 21 minutes for the machine to be restarted.

 Merrett was left paralyzed from the neck down in a 2002 road accident, but was able to talk, use a wheelchair and operate a computer.

 His sister Karen Reynolds told the BBC that since his brain damage, his level of understanding had dropped to that of a young child.

 "He has an existence but it's nowhere near what it was before," she said. "He is very brain-damaged compared to what he was before."

 The health authority responsible for Merrett's care has apologized for "the incident in January 2009 when the patient's ventilator care was compromised." In a statement, NHS Wiltshire Primary Care Trust said it had "put in place a series of actions to ensure that such an event will not occur again either for this patient or others."

 Aylward worked for an agency contracted by the health care trust. The Nursing and Midwifery Council said she has been suspended pending an investigation. |||||

SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Legislature passed a bill Wednesday that eliminates the statute of limitations for lawsuits against perpetrators of child sexual abuse.

 Deondra Brown, co-founder of the nonprofit Foundation for Survivors of Abuse, watched from the Senate gallery as lawmakers engaged in a final debate before voting to pass HB277 and sending it to Gov. Gary Herbert for his signature.

 “On behalf of victims across the state of Utah, we’re excited to know that we can kind of breathe, take our time in healing, and come forward and tackle that big legal case when and if we are every ready,” Brown said.

 Brown has followed the progress of HB277 and testified in favor of the bill at committee meetings throughout the legislative process. Three Brown sisters, members of the 5 Browns piano quintet, were molested by their father, Keith Brown, as children. The sisters sought criminal charges in 2010 against their father, who had also been their professional manager.

 Keith Brown was sentenced in March 2011 to 10 years to life for sodomy on a child, a first-degree felony, and one to 15 years each on two counts of sex abuse of a child, a second-degree felony. The crimes occurred when the girls were 13 years old or younger.

 Current Utah law limits civil actions to four years after a victim’s 18th birthday. HB277 would remove those limitations and allow victims time to heal and muster the courage and maturity to take civil action and hold their abusers accountable, said bill sponsor Rep. Ken Ivory, R-West Jordan.

 “Someone that victimizes a child should never be able to hide behind time — ever,” Ivory said.

 The bill’s floor sponsor, Sen. Aaron Osmond, R-South Jordan, said 1 in 6 boys and 1 in 4 girls in Utah will suffer or have suffered from sexual abuse. He added that most children who are sexually abused don’t come to a realization or the ability to deal with the experience until after age 40.

 The bill gives victims a four-year window from the time of discovery or remembrance of the child abuse experience to file civil action, Osmond said, allowing them to overcome emotional obstacles that often bar them from taking action.

 As a result, perpetrators could be susceptible to lawsuits for crimes committed years ago, Ivory said.

 Sen. Scott Jenkins, R-Plain City, argued against HB277, saying the statute of limitations was put in place for a reason and citing cases where individuals who realized repressed memories of child sexual abuse, but later discovered them to be wrong. He said he’s “not for abuse by any means,” but he’s concerned about what the bill would allow.

 Sen. Gene Davis, D-Salt Lake City, joined Jenkins in voting against the bill.

 After the Senate’s vote, Deondra Brown said victims of child sexual abuse shouldn’t have a “door closed in their face” because of time limits, and they should be granted the option if or when they decide they want to file civil actions against perpetrators.

 She said victims deal with medical bills and health issues for “the rest of their lives” and shouldn’t have to shoulder the burden of paying for it, which she said costs the average victim up to $1 million over the course of their lives.

 Victims should be allowed to pursue a case that would hold the perpetrator accountable and relieve that financial burden, Deondra Brown said.

 “They’re the ones that inflicted this upon us to begin with,” she said.

 When asked if she would consider civil action against her father, Deondra Brown said she had talked about a civil case several years ago with her siblings, but they felt as though they “were able to get the case that (they) needed though the criminal side of things."

 “But honestly, I don’t know where I would be 10 years from now if that’s something I would still like to be able to explore,” she said. “I’d love to be able to have that option in the state of Utah.”

 The Senate's final vote on the bill was 24-2.

 Email: kmckellar@deseretnews.com ||||| RANDOLPH, Rich County — Under strong words from a judge and years of pain from his former student, a retired Rich High School teacher has been sentenced to prison for sexually assaulting the woman 22 years ago.

 Michael Layne Williamson, 60, spoke of shame, pain and forgiveness as he appeared before 1st District Judge Thomas Willmore for sentencing on July 27. The former teacher pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child, one second-degree felony, while the other was reduced to a third-degree felony.

 No details of the case were released when Williamson was originally charged in November, and requests by the Deseret News to the Rich County sheriff's and attorney's offices for police documents were denied. Inquiries about appealing the denial were ignored.

 In an audio recording of Williamson's sentencing hearing, the judge — unmoved by Williamson's apologies and scolding him for calling his actions a mistake — sentenced the former teacher to one to 15 years, with an additional term of up to five years to run concurrently. While in prison he must complete a sex offender course.

 A pre-sentence report had recommended 210 days in jail for Williamson, his attorneys explained, asking that he be able to serve his time in home confinement as he battles stage 4 prostate cancer. Prosecutors did not ask for a specific punishment for Williamson, saying they left the decision to the judge's discretion.

 Willmore scoffed at the short recommended sentence, which he attributed to the Justice Reinvestment Initiative and efforts to reduce prison populations. He based his sentence on the girl's young age, the position of trust that Williamson held, and the way he disgraced the "noble profession" of a teacher.

 Reading from an apology letter describing the remorse and shame that he, too, has lived with, Williamson said in the hearing, "This indiscretion of mine was of the most heinous type."

 Willmore interrupted at that moment.

 "Let me stop you right there. It is not an indiscretion. You broke the law. And I heard from many of these letters from your family that it was a mistake," the judge said.

 "A mistake means unintended consequences or a lapse of judgement," he continued, pounding his hand for emphasis. "That's far beyond a lack of judgment and indiscretion. You and your family tried to sweep this under the rug, tried to downplay this."

 In an emotional testimony, the woman, now 35, showed the judge a picture of herself in eighth grade to reinforce that it wasn't an adult who was victimized, it was a child.

 "You pushed forward little by little until I was so deep in that there was no way out. You were my teacher, my friend's dad, an adult, all of those people I was taught to respect and to listen to and to trust," the woman said. "You used all of it to satisfy your own perverted desires. You made sure I knew how much I would ruin everyone's life and everything around me if I ever told anyone. You made sure I knew how much you stood to lose if anyone ever found out.

 "You put it all on my shoulders, those of a 13-year-old, to carry. I always blamed myself."

 The woman, who the Deseret News has chosen not to name, explained that she kept her silence about what happened between her and her teacher, eventually leaving the state. On a recent trip back to Utah, however, the pain came rushing back, and she said she made a choice: Report the abuse to law enforcement or take her own life.

 "Since breaking my silence I have attempted to begin processing everything I have pushed aside for two decades," she said, describing the blame, anger, hurt and embarrassment she long believed was of her own making. "I am 35 years old and I am now just starting to understand those things are a reflection of you and not me."

 Among the greatest challenges since coming forward, the woman said, has been battling the panic she now feels seeing her own children go to school or activities knowing that she, at their age, was not safe.

 "With my knowledge of the evil that is out there, I feel helpless in protecting them when I couldn't even protect myself," she said. "So many times I have broken down crying when I am talking to my kids about boundaries and how to keep their bodies safe, telling them that no matter what anyone else tells them it is not their fault."

 In his statement, Williamson apologized to the court, the community, his church and the school district. He called on the woman and her family to do what he called one of the hardest things they may ever face: forgive him.

 "I am so sorry for the pain and anguish I have caused you," he said, calling the woman by name. "I sincerely apologize for every out-of-line thought, action and deed which I committed. I truly wished you no harm and had no intention of hurting you so severely. I was reckless with our student-teacher relationship and ignored the values and principles that I truly believe in and cherish."

 In several moments, Williamson spoke of his faith in God and his belief that forgiveness is possible.

 "The future is ahead and the past is in the past," Williamson concluded. "My hope and prayer is that through these proceedings we can all find closure and live courageously into life ahead. Our lives and our families have been irreversibly changed by my actions of 20 years ago. My earnest prayer is that all of us can move forward from this spot and create our own personal future full of love, forgiveness and healing."

– A retired Utah school teacher was sent to prison for having sex with one of his teenage students 22 years ago, reports the Deseret News. The woman came forward last year and told police that former teacher Michael Layne Williamson, 60, had repeatedly assaulted her over a period of years. He was sentenced to one to 15 years in prison by a judge who berated him for disgracing the "noble profession" of teaching. Williamson, who pleaded guilty in May to aggravated sexual abuse of a child and another count of attempted sexual abuse, apologized in court. "This indiscretion of mine was of the most heinous type," he said. "Let me stop you right there," retorted Judge Thomas WIllmore. "It is not an indiscretion. You broke the law." The unidentified victim, now 35, displayed a photo of herself as an eighth-grader and said Williamson ruined her life. "You put it all on my shoulders, those of a 13-year-old, to carry," she said. "I always blamed myself." She said she left the state and kept silent but on a trip back home, the pain was too much. Supporters of Williamson, however, wrote that he was a respected teacher and golf coach who “fell victim to the persuasions of a girl,” reports the Herald Journal. It's possible this isn't the end of Williamson's legal trouble: Last year, the state changed the law to allow victims of sexual abuse to file civil lawsuits years after the fact, notes the Deseret News. (In Texas, this teacher was accused of having a longtime sexual relationship with an eighth-grade student.)

 WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. employers notched another solid month of hiring in March by adding 215,000 jobs, driven by large gains in the construction, retail and health care industries.

 Despite the jump, the Labor Department said Friday that the unemployment rate ticked up to 5 percent from 4.9 percent. But that increase includes some good news: more Americans came off the sidelines to look for work, though not all found jobs.

 The figures suggest that employers remain confident enough in their business prospects to add staff, even as overall growth has slowed since last winter. Many analysts estimate that the economy grew at a 1 percent annual rate or below in the first quarter. Continuing job gains indicate that employers may see the slowdown as temporary.

 Steady hiring is also contributing to higher pay, which rose a modest 2.3 percent from a year earlier to $25.43. That figure has increased since the early years of the recovery, but is below a peak of 2.6 percent reached in December.

 Sluggish wage growth has been a weak spot in the economy and a source of frustration for many workers since the Great Recession ended in 2009. Paychecks typically grow at a 3.5 percent pace in a strong economy.

 Construction firms added 37,000 jobs, likely aided by warmer weather. That helped offset another month of job losses in manufacturing, which has been hit by slower growth overseas, and mining, which includes the oil and gas drilling sector. Low oil prices have cost that industry 185,000 since September 2014.

 More jobs can help fuel consumer spending, which is a critical source of growth this year. Other potential drivers of the economy, such as exports and business investment, have weakened.

 Consumer spending has faltered since last winter after healthy gains in 2015. Spending ticked up just 0.1 percent in February for the third month in a row. That tepid trend caused many economists to slash their growth forecasts.

 Americans appear to be pocketing much of their savings from lower gas prices rather than spending them. The savings rate rose to 5.4 percent in February, the highest in a year.

 Other economic data has been unusually mixed. Several reports suggest that manufacturers may be stabilizing after a difficult 2015, when weak overseas growth and the strong dollar hurt production.

 Americans have pulled back a bit from home-buying. Sales of existing homes fell a sharp 7.1 percent in February, held back by a lack of available supply that has pushed up prices. ||||| It was that time again, folks.

American hostage Kayla Mueller was tortured, verbally abused, forced into slave labor for ISIS commanders in Syria and raped by the group's top leader, but her fellow hostages say she never surrendered hope, she selflessly put the welfare of fellow captives above her own and she even stood up to executioner "Jihadi John" to defend her Christian faith.

 Four former hostages who shared cells with Mueller, speaking publicly for the first time about their shared ordeal for ABC News' "20/20" broadcast, "The Girl Left Behind," airing Friday, say the Prescott, Arizona, humanitarian aid worker was a courageous 25-year-old who inspired them.

 Their ISIS guards were overseen by the British tough Mohammed Emwazi, who would later be dubbed Jihadi John, as he carried out the beheadings and killings of 10 hostages. The Londoner led three other Britons who oversaw the hostage operation. Their prisoners called them "The Beatles."

 In March 2014, Mueller was taken to a room next door several times where male hostages were being held. Former hostages said Emwazi paraded her in front of them to show prisoners about to be released who she was and to offer her own proof-of-life by removing her head scarf and briefly introducing herself.

 Former hostage Daniel Rye Ottosen, a Danish freelance photographer, recalled how Mueller turned the tables on the men in black.

 "One of the Beatles started to say, 'Oh, this is Kayla, and she has been held all by herself. And she is much stronger than you guys. And she's much smarter. She converted to Islam.' And then she was like, 'No, I didn't,'" Ottosen told ABC News.

 He admits it surprised him a lot. He had once tried to strangle himself when ISIS guards strung his arms up by chains.

 "I would not have had the guts to say that. I don't think so," he said. "It was very clear that all of us were impressed by the strength that she showed in front of us. That was very clear."

 Daniel Rye Ottosen

 The only period in Mueller's 18 horrifying months as an ISIS hostage when she wasn't subjected to some form of torture, verbal abuse, prolonged isolation, sensory deprivation, stress positions, forced labor or sexual assault before she died in captivity was the six weeks she was held at an abandoned oil refinery in Syria, with other Western hostages in 2014.

 Because many of the ISIS captives were being individually negotiated for ransom with their governments, employers or families, the women, at least, inside the makeshift prison south of ISIS stronghold Raqqa were not subjected to the kind of abuses that Mueller said she experienced in other ISIS prisons before and after her time there, according to the Mueller family and those held captive with her.

 Three of the Westerners released by ISIS and a Yazidi teenager who escaped captivity provided eyewitness accounts to ABC News of Mueller's strength, selflessness and will to survive amid her considerable suffering, including details she gave them of her treatment when she was completely alone for most of her confinement by the terrorist group.

 "They would scream at her, and they would, you know, blame her for everything that America has done in the world," Frida Saide, one of three women from Doctors Without Borders who shared a cell with Mueller at the oil refinery, told ABC News in an interview this month.

 "They picked her apart," said Patricia Chavez, one of the other Doctors Without Borders aid workers held with Mueller.

 In her seventh month of captivity, Mueller's frequent isolation and moves between makeshift prisons in Aleppo and Raqqa was interrupted by the arrival at the oil refinery of Saide, Chavez and a dozen other hostages, including Europeans in the process of being ransomed.

 In March and April 2014, the women from Doctors Without Borders and a French journalist carried out three letters Mueller wrote by hand to friends and family, indicating it was finally her turn. The Doctors Without Borders women were made to memorize an ISIS email address, which the hostage takers instructed them to give to her parents.

 That eventually led to extraordinary negotiations for her release, the former hostages and the Mueller family said in an ABC News investigation spanning more than two years.

 Saide, 35, from Sweden and Chavez, 35, from Peru and Belgium, had not been publicly identified as ISIS hostages before agreeing to speak to ABC News this month about their friend, Mueller. At least six men held with them were eventually executed by the brutal "Beatles," and the experience has left the women traumatized.

 "Fear. It's fear of the unknown. You don't know what's going to happen," Chavez recalled of the state of terror in which they lived.

 What is now known of Mueller's 18 months of hell in ISIS hands has been drawn from the eyewitness accounts of a handful of fellow Western hostages like Saide and Chavez, who spent those six weeks with her in the spring of 2014 inside the oil refinery, as well as from the Yazidi teen who was imprisoned with Mueller in late 2014.

 Towards the end of Mueller's life, after her parents Carl and Marsha Mueller say the FBI and Obama administration had blocked opportunities to help them ransom their daughter, her spirit had apparently dimmed, her parents concluded after recently meeting the Yazidi girl, now 15, for the first time.

 Mueller was more optimistic about being freed when she briefly shared a cell with the Doctors Without Borders women in early 2014, the freed hostages said.

 When the three women entered Mueller's cell and met her for the first time, they said they had to get over the initial shock of finding out that Mueller was an aid worker taken with her contractor friend and two Doctors Without Borders staffers from inside a Doctors Without Borders vehicle six months earlier. The women said their colleagues had failed to disclose the incident to them before their entry into Syria.

 Mueller told them how she had helped her friend, Omar Alkhani, a Doctors Without Borders contractor, install satellite internet at an Aleppo Doctors Without Borders hospital, where they were invited to stay the night, and how they were then were abducted the next day from a Doctors Without Borders vehicle with two staffers as they left for a bus station on Aug. 4, 2013.

 Mueller's cellmates in the Raqqa oil refinery — Saide, Chavez and the third Doctors Without Borders woman, whose identity remains confidential — entered Syria in November 2013. They said that in a safety briefing, a Doctors Without Borders official did not tell them that Mueller and three Doctors Without Borders workers had been abducted.

 "He said that for Doctors Without Borders, that the risk of kidnapping was not considered very big. It wasn't something that I should worry about," Saide told ABC News. "Kayla had already been abducted from an Doctors Without Borders vehicle only a couple of months before that. But he failed to mention this."

 Asked about the omission, Jason Cone, the executive director of Doctors Without Borders in the U.S., told ABC News this week that he wouldn't second-guess decisions by the group's security officers three years ago. He added that Mueller's kidnapping was kept quiet for her security.

 "At that time, when they went into Syria, it was the express wishes that they — that this incident not be talked about. That was deemed to be the best possible recourse," he said.

 Play

 He also said that the women were not traveling near Aleppo, where Mueller was kidnapped, and therefore their risk assessment was different. Saide and Chavez each dispute that claim, saying they were near Aleppo when they entered Syria from Turkey.

 As Mueller's fellow female hostages described it for "20/20," ISIS held the four women in a 12-foot-by-12-foot room of brick whitewashed walls, in what the FBI later called the "pipeline desert prison," with a blacked-out window, a single lightbulb hanging from the ceiling and mattresses and blankets on the floor. They could only tell day from night through a ventilation fan near the ceiling.

 "There was a little bit of light coming by this small vent, but that was it," Chavez said.

 "It was cold, dirty. We didn't have that much to eat," Saide recalled. "They gave us black dresses and hijab, so to cover our heads and faces."

 The women passed their time swapping stories of their families, their boyfriends and describing their respective homelands. They also whiled away the hours drawing, reading the Quran, writing and planning escapes that were all but impossible. Mueller sometimes cracked them up doing impressions of guards, including one brute they called "Edges."

 And always in the background were ISIS nasheeds — chanting songs of martyrdom and death — blaring on speakers.

 "They played on and on and on," Chavez said.

 The relentless nasheeds underscored the real violence of the hostage takers, which the world would see later on Aug. 19, 2014, with the first beheading on video by ISIS of an American captive, journalist James Foley.

 Death threats were common and credible since a Russian captive was the first to be shot to death.

 "We realized that they were actually killers, that they would enjoy killing us," Saide said.

 Mueller told the three Doctors Without Borders women in the cell about her previous six months of confinement, held mostly in isolation except for brief periods when she cared for a 14-year-old Shiite girl and another woman affiliated with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime. All faced various forms of abuse by ISIS.

 "She was amazing. She was a really strong girl," Chavez said of Mueller.

 For Saide, the younger Mueller at 25 years old had a surprisingly positive personality and "a strong faith that gave her a lot of strength. As a person, she was a very good friend. She was smart. She was fun to be with. She was very kind, extremely generous."

 "She was always considerate of others, even though she herself was in a very difficult situation," Saide added. "She was always concerned for other prisoners. She never stopped being concerned for the Syrian population living through just horrible things in this war and still are. She never stopped caring for others."

 Sometimes they could hear male prisoners being severely beaten in other rooms, the women said. The Beatles would also take the Doctors Without Borders women to another room alone, shining a bright light in their faces and demanded sensitive personal information.

 Saide cannot forgive her former jailers, who, she said, "caused so much pain to me and to others."

 Emwazi was killed by a CIA armed drone in Syria last year, which vaporized his car.

 And Daniel Rye Ottosen, the Danish freelance photographer, said Mueller and another American hostage, journalist Steven Sotloff, figured out a way to pass letters back and forth — leaving them concealed in the common toilet — creating a makeshift game of Trivial Pursuit.

 One day, the Doctors Without Borders women were ordered to appear in a proof-of-life video as the medical aid group negotiated their and two male staffers' release. Mueller was told by ISIS captors to stay out of the picture, the women recalled.

 "They used to tell her that nobody cares about her. Like, nobody's going to negotiate for her and, you know, trying to put ideas in her mind that she is different [from] us," Chavez said.

 But in March 2014, Mueller was told by ISIS to pen two letters to her family stating the demands for her freedom: the release of convicted al-Qaeda operative Aafia Siddiqui from a U.S. federal prison or 5 million euros. She gave a third letter for her family to the Doctors Without Borders women to smuggle out. Though similarly worded, it included important personal contacts on the back, including her friend and college spiritual adviser, the Rev. Kathleen Day of Flagstaff's Northern Arizona University.

 Her first letter was carried out by a French journalist upon his release. And then in March it came time for Saide, Chavez and the third Doctors Without Borders woman to leave, carrying Mueller's other letters.

 "She was happy that things were moving for us," Chavez said.

 Mueller buried any disappointment that no one had asked her in eight months for proof-of-life questions — an obvious sign of a negotiation effort. However, the Doctors Without Borders women were told by the Beatles to memorize an ISIS email address for the Mueller family to begin negotiations.

 "It was a horrible feeling to be released, looking forward to being released but at the same time leaving someone behind," Saide recalled.

 Saide and Chavez said they hid encouraging notes in Mueller's blankets and tried to make the best of parting. The women hugged their American friend as tears flowed. Saide told her to "stay strong," that it would end for her soon. But Mueller said nothing.

 "I felt that I wouldn't be completely free until she was free," Saide said in her interview with "20/20."

 Unbeknownst to Saide and Chavez, they said, Doctors Without Borders' Brussels office, which oversaw Syria operations, withheld the smuggled letter from Carl and Marsha Mueller until mid-April and kept secret the second, ISIS-directed letter — which included a ransom demand — and the ISIS email address until May 22.

 Doctors Without Borders officials have attributed the delays to their desire not to interfere with their ongoing negotiations for the release of other staffers still held by ISIS at the time. On Wednesday, the aid group issued a long statement that included the claim that "Kayla herself asked the women not to pass along this other [ISIS-ordered] letter." But Saide told ABC News today that the statement by her former employer was "not true." Chavez agreed, saying, "There was no discussion where Kayla asked us not to pass it on."

 An extraordinary negotiation began with 27 emails exchanged between ISIS and the Muellers, whose FBI team composed all of the couple's notes, the family has told ABC News and which U.S. officials have confirmed.

 But the U.S. began airstrikes against ISIS positions in Iraq in early August 2014 during the negotiations for Mueller, and the terrorist group soon began beheading on video almost all the remaining Western hostages in stated retaliation soon after.

 Once U.S. airstrikes expanded broadly across Iraq and into Syria on Sept. 22, 2014, ISIS stopped responding to the Muellers' negotiation pleas. It is believed that by then Kayla Mueller had been handed over to the oil and gas emir for ISIS, Abu Sayyaf, and his sadistic wife, Umm Sayyaf -- Tunisians who kept the American and a half-dozen Yazidi girls as sex slaves for ISIS "Caliph" Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

 Among several of the Yazidi girls enslaved alongside Mueller inside the Sayyaf household in the fall of 2014, none was closer to her than a then-13-year-old who has asked to be called "Julia" by ABC News. Yazidi males were subjected to mass murder by ISIS in Iraq, and thousands of Yazidi girls were forced to be sex slaves.

 Julia revealed in a "20/20" interview how Mueller — who was frequently raped by al-Baghdadi — passed up a chance at an escape in order to increase the odds for the Yazidi teens, who were able to sneak out of the ISIS kingpin's house late one night in a flight to freedom.

 "I told Kayla, 'We want to escape,' and I asked her to come with us. She told me, 'No, because I am American. If I escape with you, they will do everything to find us again,'" Julia said.

 "It is better for you to escape alone. I will stay here," Mueller said, according to Julia.

 In the Sayyaf household, Mueller went by "Kayla Carl," per the Muslim custom of referring to women with their father's name. All the girls, including Mueller, were beaten by the ISIS family — but Mueller also had to go to al-Baghdadi at night, as ABC News first reported last year.

 "Baghdadi took her several times in the night for himself," Julia recounted, noting that Mueller would return later and try to not to cry, though at times she broke down.

 She told the girls that part of surviving was being forced to pretend she had converted to Islam so the ISIS leader could sexually assault her, though she still clung secretly to her Christian faith.

 "When she was with us, she wanted to encourage us because of also what happened with us," Julia said, noting the girls were taken in the night by ISIS men. "She was very tired every time. She was not crying every night, but she was very tired."

 Under a full moon, the Yazidi girls finally made their escape, parting tearfully with their older protective "sister." They eventually made their way back to Irbil, in Kurdistan in northern Iraq, where Julia helped U.S. military intelligence officers find the Sayyaf houses. A Delta Force raid in May of last year resulted in Abu Sayyaf being shot to death and his wife being taken prisoner by the American operators.

 Mueller "was praying for us to escape, to survive," said Julia, turning a bracelet on her wrist that she wears to honor Mueller. "I will never forget this sacrifice. She was very good to us. I will never forget."

 In February 2015, ISIS claimed Mueller was killed in a Jordanian airstrike in Syria. The White House denied that an airstrike killed her but confirmed her death of unstated causes a few days after the ISIS claim.

 At first, Julia refused to believe her friend Mueller could be dead.

 Asked her reaction to the announcement on Feb. 6, 2015, Saide said simply, "I was devastated."

 "My name is Kayla Mueller. I need your help."Those words were a brief assurance to then-25-year-old Kayla Mueller 's concerned parents not long after she was taken hostage by Islamic State militants while doing service work in Syria in 2013.Kayla's entire proof of life video will be shown for the first time in an upcoming ABC News 20/20 special about her life – and death – in captivity."I've been here too long and I've been very sick," Kayla, who was wearing a black headscarf, said in the 10-second long video. "It's very terrifying here."Kayla, a Prescott, Arizona, native was taken by ISIS in Aleppo, Syria, with a Doctors Without Borders contractor.

The friend passed the clip on to the FBI, who in turn, released it to Carl and Marsha Mueller."You just go into almost a catatonic state, I think. You can't even stand up," Carl tells 20/20 of seeing the video in 2013.Adds Marsha, "I saw how thin she looked, but I saw that her eyes were very clear and steady.

Instead, they were told their daughter's release was in the government's hands. They say that Doctors Without Borders didn't provide a crucial ISIS email address to them until two months after receiving it from workers freed from captivity.In May 2014, the family got more proof of life in the form of an audio clip after beginning negotiations with ISIS over email.

What is a one-paragraph summary of the above article?

– Fresh details of Kayla Mueller's days as an ISIS captive are revealed in an ABC 20/20 report airing Friday night, and they highlight both the horror of her circumstances and her amazing strength. Four former hostages, including three women who shared a cell with the young American in 2014, say they were inspired by her optimism, humor, and the strength she drew from her Christian faith. "She was always considerate of others, even though she herself was in a very difficult situation," says Frida Saide, a former captive from Sweden. "She was always concerned for other prisoners." Mueller, who was repeatedly raped by ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, died in captivity last year. Former hostage Daniel Rye Ottosen from Denmark describes how she stood up to the notorious "Beatles" group of guards, including "Jihadi John." "One of the Beatles started to say, 'Oh, this is Kayla, and she has been held all by herself. And she is much stronger than you guys. And she's much smarter. She converted to Islam.' And then she was like, 'No, I didn't.'" People notes that the ABC report will also include a chilling "proof of life" video sent to Mueller's parents after her capture in 2013. "I've been here too long and I've been very sick," she says. "It's very terrifying here." ABC also spoke to two Yazidi girls who say that to ensure their safety, Mueller chose not to escape with them.
