Many protests broke out in Cuba due to the power outage from hurricane Ian.  A reporter said there were groups of 400 people gathered in different spots. They repeatedly yelled "“We want light, we want light,” and banging pots and pans." Reporters said that most of the protests are peaceful so far.  So far 3 have died from the power outage. They have restored power for a little bit of Cuba but a lot of the country is still in a blackout ( Total internet blackout). " Experts said the total blackout showed the vulnerability of Cuba’s power grid and warned that it will require time and sources — things the country doesn’t have — to fix the problem.

At least 21 fatalities have been confirmed in Florida, and as of 8 a.m. On Friday, Ian had grown to a Category 1 hurricane in the Atlantic and was headed straight for South Carolina. Forecasters said its center was likely to move into land between Charleston and Myrtle Beach. Life-threatening storm surge and hurricane conditions were expected within hours, and winds of up to 73 mph were already slamming most of the Carolinas' coast.

just outside the city of Zaporizhzhia, a Russian missile hit a civilian convoy traveling to Russian-Occupied territory. It killed 25 civilians and caused injury to others. The missile struck 10 meters from where the convoy was waiting for their escort through the territory.

n the dirt car park of a sprawling car parts market just outside the city of Zaporizhzhia, the bodies told horrific stories of the moment a Russian missile struck a civilian convoy, killing 25 and injuring scores more.

A man in late middle age was slumped inside his car, one hand holding the steering wheel. Not far away, partially covered in a sheet, another person appeared to be kneeling, collapsed next to the wheelie case they had been pulling.

Two women, limbs broken and twisted, lay where it appears they had been talking next to a car in a queue of shattered vehicles that had been waiting to form into a convoy that - in a grim irony - would have taken them into Russian-occupied territory to the south, approved to enter by Russian forces.

While some had died instantly, others had managed to escape their cars and stagger a few brief steps before succumbing. Police and soldiers zipped the bodies into black bags and searched through wallets and handbags to find identification.

At 7.15am on Friday, dozens of cars had gathered to wait for a routine convoy to set off for the Russian-occupied territory that begins 12 miles away About 150 cars are allowed each day by the Russians to make the journey south heading for cities such as Mariupol and Melitopol.

The cars and minivans were full of items to bring to families still in the south - bedding and children's toys, clothes and even food. Some travellers would have hoped to pick up relatives to bring them back to Ukrainian-controlled territory amid fears that Russia's annexation of four regions in Ukraine will leave many trapped.

At that moment, a Russian S-300 missile ploughed into the ground 10 metres from the cars as they waited for an escort for their journey. The blast tore through metal, shattered windscreens and blew out the windows of food kiosks and shops over a wide distance.

Volodymyr Marchuk, a spokesperson for the local governor's office, told the Guardian what had happened. "[The car parts market] is a logistic hub to allow people go into the temporarily Russian-occupied territories. The Russians only accept 150 cars a day so that's why we created a programme where people could go there to register and get their number in the line.

'At 7.15 this morning there were a large number of cars waiting for their turn to cross, mostly people who want to go to and drop off aid to relatives. Maybe pick up people who want to leave on the way back.

"That was the queue they hit with an S-300 missile. There's no doubt it is a deliberate war crime. They always say they are aiming at a military object and hit something else. But there are no military objects near that site. That's why there's no doubt that it's a terrorist act."

With scores of injured removed to local hospitals, emergency workers carried on with the grim task of identification and removal of bodies.

Standing on the road nearby, Dalina Yakushava, 48, had arrived after the explosion to see if she could confirm her place in a convoy.

"This is where people are told to come and register by the authorities to join a convoy. You register online but I came to make sure my permission had been received," she said. "I live in Mariupol. We just drove our daughter to Poland but we need to go back because my parents are there. It's terrible but it is our home. There were a lot of cars waiting to leave this morning because no one has been able to go into the occupied areas for the past week."

On Friday, the traffic was in both directions. A short drive away along the same road towards the Russian lines, hundreds of cars queued near a Ukrainian checkpoint waiting for an escort, their occupants relieved to be crossing over.

At the front of the queue, Nadya Nekustorova was playing with her 11-month-old daughter Maria as her husband, Dymytro, watched.

"We're coming from Melitopol," Nadya said. "We won't go back until it is back under Ukrainian control. My parents are staying, which is a worry, but we wanted to leave because the Russians have said they will close the crossing to men from 1 October. We realised this might be our final chance. The Russians came to ask us if we were voting in the [sham] referendum. We said no so it seemed like we should leave."

"It was a joke," said Dymytro. "They were all just voting for themselves. The voting paper was a piece of copied A4. There were no seals or numbers to identify the vote was genuine. It was all fake. My brother has rented a flat in Zaporizhzhia so we'll stay with him."

Further down the line of cars, Alla Votovska, 68, and her son Viktor said they had waited for four days to come to the checkpoint from a village near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

"Everyone is trying to leave," said Viktor. "But they would only let a few cars leave from our village each day, so we had to keep coming back. Other people are trying to leave as well via the Crimea for Poland and Europe. Half of our village has left."

Suddenly the cars were moving, heading for Zaporizhzhia on a road that would take them past the dead whose convoy had not been so lucky.

Russia has annexed (take control and added to other region) over 1/5 of Ukraine in violation of international law. Putin said that Ukrainians inside of the annexed land are Russians 'forever'. Some areas in now annexed Ukraine have had Russian soldiers inside since the invasion first started. Putin claimed that it was the will of the millions in Russia. But, there have been reports citizens that voted were held at gunpoint during the voting process.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Russian President Vladimir Putin has formally announced the Kremlin's intention to annex nearly a fifth of Ukraine in blatant violation of international law.

Once the process is officially complete, Moscow will recognize four Ukrainian regions as Russian territory: Luhansk and Donetsk - home to two Russian-backed breakaway republics where fighting has been ongoing since 2014 - as well as Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, two areas in southern Ukraine that have been occupied by Russian forces since shortly after the invasion began.

The annexation announcement follows so-called referendums in the regions that were universally dismissed as "a sham" by Ukraine and Western nations.

Pro-Russian authorities in those regions predictably claimed this week that residents had overwhelmingly supported becoming part of Russia. Reports from the ground suggested that voting took place essentially - and in some cases, literally - at gunpoint.

Despite the widespread international condemnation, Russia is forging ahead with its plans to fly its flag over some 100,000 square kilometers (38,600 square miles) of Ukrainian territory.

This is the largest forcible annexation of land in Europe since 1945.

This is a developing story. More details to come.

A student named Haley Meche almost died from  sudden cardiac arrest. She survived because she had known she had a heart condition. Her doctors said that Meche's heart screening test detected her risk early – and saved her life. Studies have also shown that sudden cardiac arrest is the leading medical cause of death in athletes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 2,000 young people die from sudden cardiac arrest each year – many without previously known heart issues.

Studies have shown that sudden cardiac arrest is the leading medical cause of death in athletes. According to CDC, around 2,000 young people die a year due to cardiac arrest. Student athletes have a risk nearly 4x higher than the average person and up to 80% of kids that suffer cardiac arrest have no warning signs or prior symptoms. Many high schools across the US have started to require students pass a questionnaire and physical exam before being cleared to participate in any sports.

When 16-year-old Haley Meche stepped out onto the flag football field, she didn't know it would nearly kill her.

"My brain hurt so bad," Meche told "Good Morning America." "And then, like, everything went black."

Haley Meche was 16-years-old when she went into sudden cardiac arrest.

Meche almost died from sudden cardiac arrest. She survived because she had known she had a heart condition and already had a defibrillator. Her doctors said that Meche's heart screening test detected her risk early - and saved her life.

Studies have also shown that sudden cardiac arrest is the leading medical cause of death in athletes.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 2,000 young people die from sudden cardiac arrest each year - many without previously known heart issues.

" 1 in 300 young persons has a condition at risk for sudden cardiac arrest," said Dr. Jonathan Drezner, the head of the UW Medical Center for Sports Cardiology in Washington, to "GMA."

Josh Tetteh was diagnosed with a heart condition in 2021.

The risk is nearly four times higher in student athletes, according to Drezner. A risk that most athletes don't even know about, he said.

"Research shows that up to 80% of kids who suffer sudden cardiac arrest have no symptoms prior," said Drezner.

In Florida, non-profit "Who We Play For" is raising awareness around detecting risk earlier. They offer low-cost Electrocardiograms, or ECGs.

"It's never okay for a kid to die out of nowhere because they never know that they have a heart condition," said Meche.

Meche's school was one out of more than 150 schools in Florida that require student athletes to get an ECG before they play. Her doctors told her that early detection saved her life.

Similarly, Josh Tetteh was also able to detect a heart condition last year that, if gone unnoticed, could have led to sudden cardiac arrest.

He said he didn't have any symptoms so he wouldn't have known if it weren't for his preventative heart screening.

"My whole life was perfect," said Tetteh to "GMA." "We had this screening, they found something within my heart that is one of the reasons why athletes die."

Dr. Jonathan Drezner is the head of the UW Medical Center for Sports Cardiology in Washington.

A majority of high schools across the country require student athletes to pass a thorough questionnaire endorsed by the American Heart Association (AHA) and a physical exam before playing sports. If a child is found at higher risk, guidelines call for additional testing and ECG.

Drezner said it's not enough.

"There is robust evidence that using that model for screening leaves the majority of kids at risk undetected," said Drezner.

The AHA told "Good Morning America" that it supports ECG testing for children at the highest risk, but stood by the current guidelines, which considers the latest research findings and patient safety.

The association also expressed concern that universal ECG screening may miss cases by de-emphasizing the importance of proper exams. Also, it would cost an estimated $2 billion that they said could be spent on other potentially life-saving interventions.

Dr. Eli Friedman, the medical director of sports cardiology at Miami Cardiac and Vascular Institute, agreed with the AHA guidelines and he advocated for other interventions.

"It's not a tool for everybody. The infrastructure is definitely a concern that I have because there's disparities in our healthcare system," said Friedman to "GMA." "I advocate more than anything for emergency action planning, CPR and AED training."

The AHA said that it is an important area of study that needs more rigorous research and that there is concern that not all doctors are following screening guidelines.

As the debate continues, Bernadette Littles, Tetteh's mother, said she was grateful an ECG screening led to her son's diagnosis. She said she now volunteers to help other kids who may be in the same situation.

"After what happened to Josh, I volunteer. That's my way of saying thank you," she said to "GMA." "Can't wait to go to Mayville State and watch him on the field."

"A disregard for human life" is what is being said after Hannah Star rammed into a man's car. Anthony and Hannah were arguing outside a small neighborhood after Hannah tried to run over a cat with his car. Hannah got angry, so she got back into her own car and drove toward Anthony hitting and killing him instantly. She was considered senseless and her actions should never be forgotten. The crime is still being looked at, so we don't know if there was a cat involved. That is just what she claims.

SANTA ANA, Calif. -- A California woman has been charged with killing a man by ramming her car into him after accusing him of trying to run over a cat in the street, authorities said Wednesday.

Hannah Star Esser, 20, was charged with murder in the death of Victor Anthony Luis, 43, and detained on $1 million bail, the Orange County prosecutor's office said in a statement.

Esser was driving in the community of Cypress on Sunday night when she confronted Luis and accused him of trying to run over a cat, authorities said.

She and Luis both got out of their vehicles and got into an argument that Esser recorded, authorities said.

Esser then returned to her car, turned around, drove toward Luis and hit him, authorities said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

"This action showed a complete disregard for human life," District Attorney Todd Spitzer said in the statement.

Luis, a father of five daughters, was expecting his first grandchild this fall. He was killed in front of his apartment building and "died in his only brother's arms," said a statement issued on behalf of his family Wednesday.

"This senseless act of violence has robbed the world of a bright light who will never be forgotten," the statement said, adding that a GoFundMe campaign has been established by his sister to pay for his funeral.

Esser was arrested Sunday and had an initial court appearance Tuesday, court records show. She is scheduled to be arraigned Oct. 13. An email message was sent to defense attorney Michael Morrison seeking comment.

Kimberly Edds, a spokesperson for the district attorney's office, said it was not immediately clear whether a cat was actually involved. The crime is still being investigated, she said.
