An officer named Connor Grubb was found not guilty in the 2023 shooting of a pregnant Black woman named Ta’Kiya Young. The jury decided he wasn’t guilty of murder. This happened when Young was accused of shoplifting from a grocery store, and body camera footage showed the officer shooting her as she drove toward him. I thought this story was really sad and complicated because it shows how tense situations between police and citizens can quickly turn tragic. It also made me think about how cases like this are seen differently by different people.

Ethiopian volcano erupts for first time in 12,000 years!

In the northeastern region, a volcano named Hayli Gubbi in Ethiopia. erupts for the first time in 12,000 years!

A local official, Mohammed Seid, said there were no casualties, but the eruption could have economic implications for the local community of livestock herders.

Seid said there was no previous record of an eruption by the Hayli Gubbi volcano, and that he fears for the livelihoods of residents.

“While no human lives and livestock have been lost so far, many villages have been covered in ash and as a result their animals have little to eat,” he said.

The volcano, which rises about 500 metres in altitude, sits within the Rift Valley, a zone of intense geological activity where two tectonic plates meet.

A volcano in Ethiopia 's north-eastern region has erupted for the first time in nearly 12,000 years, sending thick plumes of smoke up to nine miles (14km) into the sky, according to the Toulouse Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC).

The Hayli Gubbi volcano, located in Ethiopia's Afar region about 500 miles north-east of Addis Ababa near the Eritrean border, erupted on Sunday for several hours.

The volcano, which rises about 500 metres in altitude, sits within the Rift Valley, a zone of intense geological activity where two tectonic plates meet.

Ash clouds from the volcano drifted over Yemen, Oman, India and northern Pakistan, the VAAC said.

In videos shared on social media, which AFP could not immediately verify, a thick column of white smoke could be seen rising.

The Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program said Hayli Gubbi has had no known eruptions during the Holocene, which began about 12,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age.

Simon Carn, a volcanologist and professor at the Michigan Technological University, confirmed on Bluesky that Hayli Gubbi "has no record of Holocene eruptions".

Afar authorities have not yet responded to AFP inquiries about possible casualties or the number of displaced people.

Grammy winning rapper Prakazrel Pras Michel of the Fugees was sentenced on Thursday to 14 years in prison for a case in which he was convicted of illegally funneling millions of dollars in foreign contributions to former President Barack obama’s 2012 reelection campaign

Michel 52 declined to address the court before U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar Kotelly sentenced him

WASHINGTON -- Grammy-winning rapper Prakazrel "Pras" Michel of the Fugees was sentenced on Thursday to 14 years in prison for a case in which he was convicted of illegally funneling millions of dollars in foreign contributions to former President Barack Obama's 2012 reelection campaign.

Michel, 52, declined to address the court before U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly sentenced him.

In April 2023, a federal jury convicted Michel of 10 counts, including conspiracy and acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government. The trial in Washington, D.C., included testimony from actor Leonardo DiCaprio and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Justice Department prosecutors said federal sentencing guidelines recommended a life sentence for Michel, whom they said "betrayed his country for money" and "lied unapologetically and unrelentingly to carry out his schemes."

"His sentence should reflect the breadth and depth of his crimes, his indifference to the risks to his country, and the magnitude of his greed," they wrote.

Defense attorney Peter Zeidenberg said his client's 14-year sentence is "completely disproportionate to the offense." Michel will appeal his conviction and sentence, according to his lawyer.

Zeidenberg had recommended a three-year prison sentence. A life sentence would be an "absurdly high" punishment for Michel given that it is typically reserved for deadly terrorists and drug cartel leaders, Michel's attorneys said in a court filing.

"The Government's position is one that would cause Inspector Javert to recoil and, if anything, simply illustrates just how easily the Guidelines can be manipulated to produce absurd results, and how poorly equipped they are, at least on this occasion, to determine a fair and just sentence," they wrote.

President Donald Trump went on a lying spree about inflation last week.

Grocery prices. Gas prices. Prescription drug prices. Overall prices. Over just three days, Trump made false claims about all of them. Trump was discussing the issue of “affordability” after Democrats won state and local elections Tuesday in part by campaigning on the cost of living. He argued that this theme was “a con job by the Democrats” given how successful he said he has been in lowering prices.

But Trump repeatedly used inaccurate statistics and assertions to make his case that Democrats were dishonest. Here is a fact check.

Anna Kepner, an 18-year-old cheerleader from Florida, was found dead on a Carnival Horizon cruise ship on November 8. She died from asphyxiation caused by a bar hold across her neck, and investigators found two bruises on her neck. Her body was discovered under a bed, wrapped in a blanket and covered with life vests. Preliminary findings suggest there were no signs of sexual assault or drugs and alcohol in her system. The FBI is currently investigating the case. Court documents indicate that Kepner's stepsibling may face criminal charges in connection with her death.

We might be on the threshold of serious political changes."

As the scandal swirled, the White House has presented Ukraine with a new 28-point peace plan drawn up in coordination with Moscow that contains conditions that are widely seen in Ukraine as effectively demanding the country's capitulation.

In early November 2025, the U.S. Coast Guard quietly updated its policy manual, downgrading swastikas, nooses, and similar symbols from “potential hate incidents” to merely “potentially divisive,” a change set to take effect in December.

On November 20, The Washington Post exposed the revision, sparking immediate outrage for appearing to downplay universally recognized symbols of racism and antisemitism.

Hours after the story broke, the Coast Guard issued a new memo reversing the change and explicitly banning the display of swastikas, nooses, and any symbols co-opted by hate groups as representations of supremacy, intolerance, or bias.

Nathan Gill, a former leading figure in the UK's right-wing populist Reform UK party, has been sentenced to ten and a half years in prison after admitting to accepting tens of thousands of pounds in cash bribes for making pro-Russian statements in the European Parliament. Between December 2018 and July 2019, Gill received these payments, referred to as "Christmas gifts" by him and his handler, to make pro-Russian speeches to the European Parliament and pro-Russian news outlets. Sentencing remarks at London’s Central Criminal Court described Gill’s conduct as "persistent, rather than an isolated lapse of judgement". The sentencing followed Gill's admission to the charges at the Old Bailey. More details are available from news reports covering the sentencing.

This week, the crown prince and de facto Saudi leader walked into the Oval Office to find a different world - one where President Donald Trump defended him so forcefully that he scolded a reporter for “embarrassing our guest” when she pressed him on the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.

Beyond the Oval Office theatrics, the substance of the administration’s announcements tells the real story of bin Salman’s remarkable rehabilitation in Washington. It also highlights Trump’s willingness to move past the Khashoggi episode and deepen relations with a kingdom that has pledged nearly a trillion dollars in US investments and maintains business ties with his own family.

Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine is kind of wild because it makes Ukraine give up a bunch of land to Russia and promises not to ever join NATO. He also wants Ukraine to have a much smaller army and to rewrite their constitution to stay neutral. In exchange, Russia gets their sanctions lifted and some frozen money gets used to help rebuild stuff in Ukraine. Most people in Ukraine don’t like the idea since it basically lets Russia win a lot.

In the vacillating contours of US President Donald Trump’s foreign policy, little should surprise. And outlying moments of apparent success against Iran’s nuclear program (even if short-lived), are uneasily partnered with moments of fleeting fancy, like seizing Greenland (remember that?)

But the looming possibility of military action against Venezuela – across a wide spectrum of violent options – drags the White House into realms of foreign involvement it has always said it loathed. And it puts it squarely in opposition to the lessons of the past two decades of US Republican military endeavors, and plenty of decades of regional experience before that.
