A sprawling betting scheme to rig NCAA and Chinese Basketball Association games ensnared 26 people, including more than a dozen college basketball players who tried to fix games as recently as last season, federal prosecutors said Thursday. The scheme generally revolved around fixers recruiting players with the promise of a big payment in exchange for purposefully underperforming during a game, prosecutors said. The fixers would then place big bets against the players’ teams in those games, defrauding sportsbooks and other bettors, authorities said.

After Renee Good was shot last week by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, the mother of three was “unresponsive, not breathing, with inconsistent, irregular, thready pulse activity," an incident report from the city’s fire department says.

“I saw … an ICE officer fire two shots through her windshield into the driver,” a caller to 911 reported soon after the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot Good, according to scores of emergency call transcripts CNN also got from Minneapolis officials.

“She tried to drive away but crashed into the nearest vehicle that was parked,” the caller said. “I saw blood all over the driver, then the partner who was trying to provide assistance.”

Jacub’s track has been excluded from Sweden’s official chart, Sverigetopplistan, which is compiled by IFPI Sweden. While the song appears on Spotify’s own charts, it does not qualify for inclusion on the official chart under the current rules,” said an IFPI Sweden spokesperson.

Ludvig Werber, IFPI Sweden’s chief executive, said: “Our rule is that if it is a song that is mainly AI-generated, it does not have the right to be on the top list.”

I Know, You’re Not Mine is an acoustic guitar-led folk-pop song, and the artist’s profile page on Spotify is illustrated by a sketch of a bearded, T-shirt-wearing man. The song has been streamed more than 5m times globally, including 200,000 plays in Sweden. It is part of a six-track EP called Kärleken är Bränd, or Love is Burned.
