Lee Jae-yong had recently been arrested for bribery, and other charges.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Samsung's heir apparent Lee Jae-yong has been placed under arrest in South Korea, accused of bribery and other charges.

The case is linked to a scandal that led to the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye.

Samsung is accused of giving donations to non-profit foundations operated by Choi Soon-sil, a friend of Ms Park, in exchange for government favours.

Mr Lee and the Samsung Group deny any wrongdoing.

The acting Samsung chief was first questioned by prosecutors in January, but they decided then not to arrest him.

But he was questioned for a second time earlier this week.

On Friday, the court said it "acknowledged that it is necessary to arrest [Lee Jae-Yong] in light of a newly added criminal charge and new evidence."

The prosecution will now investigate further, and has 20 days to file formal charges. The arrest does not reflect a court opinion on guilt or innocence but only means it considers the potential crime very serious or that it assumes a flight risk.

South Korea's presidential scandal explained

Did a puppy bring down South Korea's president?

The tragedy of South Korea's Park Geun-hye

What's the accusation?

Prosecutors accused Mr Lee of giving donations worth 41bn won ($36m;£29m) to organisations linked to Ms Park's close friend Ms Choi. They alleged this was done to win government support for a big restructuring of Samsung that would help a smooth leadership transition in favour of Mr Lee, who is standing in as chairman for his ill father, Lee Kun-hee.

The controversial merger required support from the national pension fund - the allegation is that this support was granted in return for the donations.

In a December parliamentary hearing, Samsung admitted giving a total of 20.4bn won to two foundations, but denied seeking favours in return.

Mr Lee also confirmed the firm gave a horse and money to help the equestrian career of Ms Choi's daughter, Chung Yoo-ra, something he said he now regrets.

What's the political scandal?

This centres around President Park's ties to Ms Choi and has brought allegations of cult activities, influence-peddling and leaks of classified information.

Ms Choi is a long term family friend whose father had already had close ties with President Park's father who was president in the 1970s.

As well as soliciting donations, Ms Choi is accused of using their friendship to interfere in politics.

She is now on trial charged with various offences, including abuse of authority, coercion and attempted fraud, and denies wrongdoing.

Parliament voted in December to impeach President Park. Her case is now being heard by the constitutional court. Meanwhile she has been stripped of her presidential powers.
A friendship too far in Seoul?
What does it mean for Samsung?

Mr Lee is currently vice-chairman of Samsung Electronics. But since his father, Lee Kun-hee, suffered a heart attack in 2014, he is considered de facto boss of the entire Samsung Group conglomerate.

Regardless of the outcome, a trial is a big blow to the company. His arrest may not affect short term production or the running of the firm but there could be long term implications.

Shares in the conglomerate's firms lost between 0.5% and 2% on Friday.

Samsung is one of the biggest electronics companies in the world and for the head of a company that thrives on a premium brand image to be involved in a corruption scandal is a huge embarrassment.

It says it will do its best "to ensure that the truth is revealed in future court proceedings", though denies wrongdoing.

Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby became the 12th fastest player in NHL history to score 1,000 career points after notching an assist against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby became the 12th fastest player in NHL history to score 1,000 career points after notching an assist against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night, when the Penguins took a 4-3 decision thanks to an overtime goal from -- guess who -- Crosby himself.

Less than seven minutes into the first period, Crosby set up a Chris Kunitz goal for the esteemed accolade, becoming the 86th player of all time to reach the 1,000-point mark. The longtime Pens standout racked up 368 goals and 632 assists to become Mr. 1,000.

You can watch it here:

The third player to hit 1,000 career points this season, Crosby is also the third Penguin to record 1,000 points solely in the Pittsburgh organization, joining Jaromir Jagr and Mario Lemieux. The two-time Stanley Cup winner, who is the 11th youngest to reach the 1,000-point total, currently leads the NHL in goals and ranks among the top three points scorers.

After the big night for Sid, here are a few things to note:

1. The Pittsburgh legend is solidified (even if we all knew it already was)

What's perhaps more impressive than Crosby's 1,000th career point is the fact that it came for the same Pens that also enabled him to score his first-ever point. No matter how you slice it, joining Jagr and Lemieux in 1,000-point company and with Pittsburgh as the only team to grace his presence is a big feat for Crosby.

Love him or hate him, at some level, you have to respect him. And even though we all were already well aware that he has cemented his status among Penguins greats, the 1,000th career point doesn't hurt. If anything, it's just a well-anticipated touch of icing on a cake that's been in the oven for quite some time.

2. Time sure flies when you're having fun and scoring points

This is more about nostalgia than the impact of Crosby's historic accomplishment, which was bound to arrive and will long be celebrated in Steel City. Actually, it's a testament to just how much Crosby has done, even with his noted injury concerns, over the course of his career.

It seems like only yesterday the superstar center was a fresh talent on the ice, the No. 1 pick in 2005 with an (in)famously camera-ready look and hardly any experience in the NHL. And yet, at the same time, Crosby has for so long now been a staple of Penguins hockey and, if we're being honest, one of the few consistently recognizable faces of the entire league.

Time flies when you're making plays, starting debates and, most of all, scoring points. And Sidney has certainly done it all.

3. We've only just begun

Health issues aside, Crosby isn't exactly an aging star, either, at 29. No, he's not No. 1 pick young anymore, by any means. But the 1,000th career point should also be a reminder of Sid's continued dominance as much as it is a symbol of all that he has worked to achieve with the Pens. He is still atop the league when it comes to scoring, remember?

It's 1,000 today, and the number will keep on climbing tomorrow. Like it or not, we're watching a legend play. And if Thursday's outing was any indication, the legend still has plenty more where that -- those 1,000 points -- came from.

strollers recalled due to falling

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The recalled models include Britax B-Agile and BOB Motion strollers when they are used with a travel system with a car seat carrier. The recall includes 676,000 strollers sold in the United States, and an additional 41,100 strollers sold in Canada and Mexico.

The recalled strollers are, "folding, single or double occupant strollers and have Click & Go receiver mounts that attach the car seat carrier to the stroller frame," the recall announcement said. A list of the recalled models can be found on the CPSC.gov/recalls or on the Britax recall website. The model number on the stroller itself can be found on the bottom of the stroller frame.

The company has received 33 reports of car seats detaching from the stroller without warning and falling. There have been 26 injuries reported including scratches, bruises, cuts and bumps to the head. There have been 1,337 reports of damage to the Click & Go receiver mount used to connect the car seats to the strollers.

The recalled strollers have been sold since May 2011 at stores nationwide, including Babies R Us, Buy Buy Baby and Target, as well as online at Amazon.com, albeebaby.com and diapers.com.

Consumers should stop using these strollers as travel systems immediately, but do not need to return the stroller, Britax advises.

"You can continue to safely use your stroller in the fully reclined mode for an infant, without the car seat attached to the stroller," it said.

The company recommends throwing away the Click & Go receiver and replacing it with a free repair kit. If your model meets the recall requirement, contact Britax consumer services at 1-844-227-0300 or Stroller.Recall@britax.com.

Syrian boy loses legs in bombing, cries for his father afterwards

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This is the aftermath of an apparent air raid Thursday in the northwest province in Idlib in northwestern Syria, as shown by a video circulated by Syrian opposition activists on social media.

UK-based monitoring network Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the barrel bomb attack came from Syrian Army warplanes. CNN cannot independently verify claims of the origin of the attack. There's been no comment from the Syrian regime or Syrian state media.

Opposition activists posted a photo of the 10-year-old boy, identified as Abdel Basit Al-Satouf, showing him alive, being treated at a hospital in Idlib. On Friday, after his condition improved, aid workers moved him to Hatay Province in Turkey for further treatment, Mustafa Ozbek, spokesperson for Humanitarian Relief Foundation, told CNN.

The airstrike on the small village of al-Habit was one of 10 attacks to hit the southern countryside of Idlib. SOHR reports five people died in the attacks.Abdel Basit's mother and sister were among them, Ozbek said.

Since 2015, Idlib has been under rebel-control and is currently covered by a nationwide ceasefire deal brokered by Russia and Turkey in December. The ceasefire requires the Syrian government to halt military operations against anyone who isn't affiliated with ISIS or other terror groups, state-run Syrian Arab News Agency reported.

Several pictures of children impacted by the violence in Syria have captured international attention.

One of the first images to go viral was that of Alan Kurdi, a toddler who had fled Syria with his family only to die in the waters of the Mediterranean. The image of his little body washed up on a Turkish beach became a symbol for the brutality and hopelessness facing those caught in the middle of the fighting.

The video of Omran Daqneesh, a young boy sitting in the back of an ambulance, shocked and covered in dust, moved people to tears in August.

A 2016 report by Save the Children says barrel bombs, airstrikes and shelling are the biggest issues threatening the 250,000 children estimated to be living in besieged areas in Syria.

Brandon Roy turned a three-win high school program into the nation's No. 1 team in his first season as coach

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Since retiring prematurely from the NBA after three All-Star appearances in six injury-plagued seasons, former Portland Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy couldn't stand to be around basketball.

"It wasn't just the Blazers," the 32-year-old told the Portland Tribune this past December. "I didn't go to any NBA games. You just miss it. It's like you see your girlfriend, and she's walking around with this new guy. It wasn't anything anybody had done to me. I just felt it was hard to be around the game."

That all changed this winter, when Roy interviewed for and accepted the head coaching job at Seattle's Nathan Hale High School, taking over a program that finished just 3-18 last season and had cycled through five coaches in five years, if only because the commute to work wasn't too bad.
[Follow Ball Don't Lie on social media: Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tumblr]
The job pays $6,000, but money wasn't the motivator for a guy who earned $82.9 million as an NBA player. This was his low-pressure entry into coaching, but it quickly became more than that. Within months of his hiring, seven players transferred to Hale, headlined by the nation's top-ranked player, Michael Porter Jr., and younger brothers Jontay and Corban, whose father accepted an assistant coaching job at Roy's alma mater, University of Washington, where Michael and Jontay are committed.

The influx of talent, including four more local prep stars, led to questions about whether or not Roy orchestrated the entire process, but he insisted he never spoke with any of them before their transfers, and they all maintain they just wanted the chance to learn the game from a local legend.

"We weren't considering Nathan Hale at all when we first moved to Seattle," Porter told the Seattle Times. "Then we heard (Brandon) might be coaching at the school and thought, 'Wow, that would be a unique experience.' We can go into this together and try to make something great happen."

And learn, they did.

Playing hard-nosed defense and up-tempo offense, Hale has started 22-0, and it's no cupcake schedule. The Raiders play in Seattle's Metro League, one of the country's most consistently tough conferences, producing Jamal Crawford, Jason Terry and Nate Robinson, among other notable names, and finishing with the top three teams in Washington's Class 3A state tournament last season.

In December, Hale swept through the prestigious Les Schwab Invitational in Portland, knocking off the country's top-ranked team, California's Sierra Canyon School, in the final. A couple weeks later, they edged defending national champion Oak Hill Academy at the Hoophall Classic in Springfield, Mass.

"What you guys are doing is really special," Roy told his players in an emotional speech after the Oak Hill victory, "especially for me, because I haven't even been around basketball in a long time. When you can't play basketball anymore physically, it's a treat to be around such good guys.

"We've done something incredible. We have a chance to do something that we'll always look back and say, 'We were a part of that one season.' Seattle's been trying to find that moment again since the '70s and '80s, and I was part of teams that couldn't. You guys are doing it. When the buzzer's going off, you guys have won, and I'm like, 'Damn, we won this game.' I mean, I feel like I'm a player."

This is what Roy missed when he walked away from the game, and he's only getting started. Hale just won the school's first Metro League title since 1992, defeating Roy's old high school, Garfield, in the title game. Later this month, the Raiders aim to secure Hale's first state tournament berth in 23 years.

It all makes you wonder if Roy has a future in this coaching thing at the college level and beyond.

"I'm doing it for the experience, and to be involved in something I enjoy," he told the Portland Tribune. "I feel like I'm prepared to make an impact and then build my way up. I thought high school was the best level to work on myself and better myself to become a good coach.

"I don't know where it's going to lead, but right now I'm happy. My kids are settled. I don't have to worry about moving them. If I go to the next level, the job is a little more demanding. I'm happy where I'm at right now. It's been a blast."
