Rittenhouse was accused of homicide after shooting several men in Kenosha, Wisconsin on August 25, 2020. “I think that it was a great decision,” Trump told Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Friday night. “I was very happy to see it.

The Mastiffs play the reigning European champions at Stamford Bridge tonight in the first leg of their round of 16 clash in the Champions League. With away goal rules now scrapped, the Ligue 1 holders are feeling confident of their chances despite suffering a loss in form this season.

It’s been too long since we had a good old-fashioned moral panic related to video games, and perhaps that’s why Ubisoft is making an effort to stoke the fires of controversy by encouraging gamers to rob a bank. This is the focus of a new mission video and competition that have been created to promote Ubisoft’s upcoming vigilante hacker sandbox game, Watch_Dogs. Admittedly the anarchic nature of this promotional stunt is dampened a little by the fact that it’s, well, just a promotional stunt....

The latest game in the Way of the Samurai series, Way of the Samurai 4 takes players to the Japanese city of Amihama, in the midst of dire national strife. The British have come to Japan, and while the Japanese government welcomes them with open arms, there are some who do not take too kindly to foreigners.

Word is out on the streets of Karachi: if you have a gun, keep it hidden.

Susan Levy: When the television cameras left and people stopped coming over, it gave me a chance to think everything over and it opened a lot of grief for me. We are devastated by the thought that there are thousands of families going though this, not knowing where their loved one is....

WAHID: We’re making progress. According to the police report, those behind the bombings appear to be people out to destabilize me, but so far there’s no legal proof [of who might have planned the crimes]. I received a message from [former major general] Prabowo [Suharto’s son-in-law and former head of Indonesia’s Special Forces]. He was very upset that his name was mentioned in the police report. If that’s so, he said, it should be proven....

The tanks never came. Instead, the Yugoslavs hit a KLA outpost on the outskirts of Oshlan. The fire fight raged for more than three hours, but forces from the village did succeed in rescuing their besieged comrades. It was an exhausting day–and Rahman expects no rest soon. He says the fighting will keep on no matter what peace terms may be signed in France this week with the Serbs who rule what’s left of Yugoslavia....

United eased past Swansea 3-1 on Sunday to end a four-match winless streak in the Premier League. Mourinho was forced to use a makeshift defense for the trip to Liberty Stadium, with Chris Smalling and Luke Shaw late withdrawals, while Daley Blind was only fit enough for the bench. Ashley Young, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo and Matteo Darmian completed the back four, and Mourinho had some words for players who deemed themselves unfit for the match....

Medical reports presented at the conference and several other recent studies offered both hope and frustration. The news: Microbicides: Researchers from UNAIDS discovered to their horror that the spermicide nonoxynol-9, a chemical found in many contraceptive lubricants and gels worldwide, is not only ineffective against HIV, it actually appears to increase the chance of infection in high-risk women. Of 999 prostitutes in Africa and Thailand, 59 women using a nonoxynol-9 contraceptive gel called Advantage-S became infected with HIV, compared with 41 women using a placebo....

Chauncey Billups is usually not the first player a person thinks of when they hear about the Pistons. Usually, players like Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars or even Dennis Rodman are the ones fans remember the most. Billups’ stint with Detroit was also memorable for a few good reasons. The five-time All-Star was part of the roster that took over the team after Grant Hill’s departure. Unlike Hill’s stay with the Pistons, Billups and his squad were able to find significant success....

Incidentally, the game boiled down to the last over with 17 runs required off the last six balls. Jaydev Unadkat got off to a blazing start, dismissing Dwaine Pretorius on the first ball and conceding only one in the second.

A cesarean section (C-section) was recommended to us because doctors were afraid that my lungs would rip during contractions, but Dana seemed healthy when she was born on January 20, 2021 and we were delighted. It was only during her two month check up that doctors noticed she wasn’t capable of holding her head up at all. At the time, they suggested it could be to do with lung problems during my pregnancy or that during the C-section, the anesthesia may have been too strong and, in turn, made Dana weaker....

We leave here with zero points and four goals conceded. It’s not normal,” Ayew told club website....

Cristhian Stuani’s quickfire first-half brace left Atletico reeling and a red card for Griezmann, booked for dissent immediately after receiving a caution for simulation in the 67th minute, appeared to seal their fate. Betis 14/1 to beat Barcelona with dabblebet But substitute Angel Correa rifled in at the end of a solo run with 12 minutes to play and Jose Gimenez converted Koke’s 85th-minute free-kick. Atleti still needed a superb stoppage-time save by Jan Oblak from Olarenwaju Kayode to escape with a share of the spoils but Simeone was satisfied – given the circumstances – at his post-match news conference....
