BY LOUISA LOVELUCK The Washington Post HASAKAH, Syria — They are the remains of the Islamic State, a once sprawling kingdom built by foot soldiers from around the world to terrorize and enslave those they conquered. Hollow-eyed and gaunt, the men and boys look broken. Days are spent in halting conversation with cellmates who still have the energy or staring blankly across the teeming, fetid cells. Many have lost limbs in the battles that led them here. Others have lost eyes and ears, a result, they said, of airstrikes. As Islamist militants fought in March for their last square mile in eastern Syria, fighters and families from more than 60 countries streamed out of their stronghold to surrender into the custody of the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, a Kurdish- led force. Eight months on, more than 10,000 men and children are still crammed into at least 25 makeshift prisons, lingering in legal twilight.

LIBBY — A grizzly MT bear that attacked a wildlife biologist in 2018 was recently trapped and relocated after it was caught trying to get into a barn south of Libby.

Scottish sensation Lewis Capaldi has a little in common with Adele

BY MESFIN FEKADU Associated Press

reakthrough singer Lewis Capaldi is such a nice guy that after you and he break up, he writes songs about the experience, then lets you preview them before they are released to the world. That’s what happened when the 23-year-old Scottish crooner crafted songs for his passionate pop debut, “Di- Bvinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent,” which focuses a good amount on the end of his relationship. “During the course of this album I used to send (my ex) all of the songs like, ‘What do you think of this? What do you think of this?’ She was the only person who’d be like, ‘This is (expletive) shady,’ ” said Capaldi, who is friends with his former girlfriend. When asked about his album being compared to Adele’s “21” — the colossal release that sent the Brit to superstardom but also brought attention to her ex — Capaldi said: “I think that’s why I maybe subconsciously sent (my ex) those songs.” “Not that I was writing bad. She never did anything bad. It wasn’t like my relationship ending was a grand thing of like, ‘You cheated on me. I can’t believe it,’ ” he added. “It was just one of those things that fizzled out. It was a shame. That’s it.” As Capaldi worked on his debut effort — which since its May release has combined global streams exceeding 2.3 billion — he found himself wanting to write about topics outside of his relation- ship. He said while recording the album, he was having the best years of his life, but sad moments like his breakup and the death of family members stood out. So, he wrote about the topics. His grandmother’s death fueled the lyrics behind his break- through anthem, the pop ballad “Someone You Loved,” which is currently No. 1 on Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100 chart and No. 1 on Top 40 radio. The song also topped the U.K. charts for seven weeks. “I didn’t cry when she died, which was very bizarre, and I re- member being like, always upset,” he said. “When you’re younger, your grandparents . . . you know them just as, ‘Well this is my grand- mother, she makes a great bowl of soup.’ . . . You don’t really know them personally. You don’t start that until you are older, and you start to learn about their life. You learn beyond the old lady.” “I was just getting to properly know you and you’re taken away. But I didn’t want to write a song like, ‘My gran’s dead.’ That’s very morbid,” he said. The multi-platinum-selling ballad has topped the charts in sev- eral territories, from Canada to Scotland to Malaysia, and it has helped raise Capaldi’s profile in the U.S., where his album steadily climbs the Billboard 200 chart. This week, it has jumped to No. 25. Capaldi said the track is finding success because his fans have been able to relate to the song in different ways, whether it’s the death of a family member or the demise of a romantic relationship.

Seattle claimed Gordon off waivers Fri- day. He joins a crowded receivers group in Seattle, which was already carrying seven receivers on its active roster. “He’s a unique talent,” coach Pete Car- roll said after practice Friday. “Next week, we’ll take a look and see what he looks like. He’s done a lot of good stuff and made a lot of good plays. We’ll find out more next week. Won’t have anything to do with this game.” Gordon was among New England’s lead- ing receivers this season, with 20 catches for 287 yards and a touchdown through six games.
