Janee Harteau told Newsweek that she was horrified by the widely-circulated video showing Derek Chauvin, a white Minneapolis police officer, pinning down Floyd, a black man, with a knee to his neck for more than 8 minutes as he struggled to breathe. Floyd’s death, on May 25, sparked protests against police brutality in Minneapolis which quickly spread to more than 100 cities across the U.S. Some of them erupted into violence with police officers seen deploying tear gas and rubber bullets against peaceful protesters....

In a tweet on Sunday, Kelly called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “mass murderer and war criminal” amid Russia’s continued attacks on Ukrainian cities, which killed 902 civilians in Ukraine between February 24 and March 19, including 11 girls and 25 boys, in addition to 39 other children whose sex wasn’t known, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) on March 20....

“My heart aches for the many loved ones Vincent Jackson leaves behind, from his wife and children to the Buccaneers nation that adored him,” Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said in a statement. “Mr. Jackson was a devoted man who put his family and community above everything else. Football aside, he touched countless lives through his Jackson In Action 83 Foundation. “We shared a passion for supporting military families, and three years ago, Jackson was even made an honorary deputy by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office to recognize his dedication to the community....

“Seth Andrew, a former White House advisor, admitted today to devising a scheme to steal from the very same schools he helped create,” U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a press release. “Andrew now faces time in federal prison for abusing his position and robbing those he promised to help.” Andrew, 42, helped found Democracy Prep in 2005, according to The Associated Press. It opened its first school in Harlem in 2006....

FBI agents searched Trump’s Florida Mar-a-Lago residence on August 8 in search of classified documents allegedly being improperly stored at the property. They seized 20 boxes that allegedly contained classified documents, which experts have warned were vulnerable to foreign espionage. Trump and his allies, however, have said the search is politically motivated. Troye, who has become a vocal critic of Trump and the direction of the Republican Party since leaving the White House in 2020, said during a CNN appearance that if she took documents from the White House, she would have faced severe punishment....

The video, released Thursday by the Fresno Unified School District, shows an altercation from June 7 at Wolters Elementary School in Fresno, California. That morning, 50-year-old then-principal Brian Vollhardt joined a small group of students having their breakfast, Superintendent Bob Nelson said in a press conference on Thursday. The cafeteria camera captured a 10-year-old student confronting Vollhardt and pointing a finger in his face. In an arrest warrant affidavit, Vollhardt said the boy yelled and made fists, which he pressed against the adult....

Senate Republicans blocked the January 6 commission—which aimed to investigate the pro-Trump insurrection targeting the U.S. Capitol—from moving forward on Friday due to the legislative filibuster. Although six Republican senators voted in favor of the commission to proceed, this was not enough to reach the 60 vote threshold required to overcome the filibuster. In the House of Representatives, 35 GOP lawmakers defected against party leadership and voted in favor of the commission last week....

Griner was arrested in February in Russia when customs officials found vape canisters with cannabis oil in her luggage. Biden, who said Thursday morning that he spoke with Griner and that she was safely on her way home, referred to “painstaking intense negotiations.” Her prison sentence was vacated in exchange for the release of Russian arms dealer and “merchant of death” Viktor Bout. His 25-year federal prison sentence, of which he served 12 years, was cut short by Biden....

The proposal would need to be brought to the state legislature and approved by a two-thirds vote. Schwarzenegger says he’s meeting with leaders from both parties this week to discuss the plan. Moving up the primary certainly increases California’s visibility among candidates–and puts the Golden State’s environmental concerns on the agenda. Currently, presidential campaigns are built around creating momentum in Iowa and New Hampshire–whose white, rural populations are notoriously unrepresentative of the country at large–then move on to the Southern states, which tend to favor more-conservative candidates....

But challenges have emerged for the Chinese effort to win hearts and minds in the Arab World, as there is some degree of skepticism toward what Beijing has to offer. Arab Barometer, a nonpartisan research network based at Princeton University that has been conducting high-level polling in the Middle East and North Africa since 2006, conducted the survey based on nearly 23,000 interviews across Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, the Palestinian territories, Tunisia and Sudan between October 2021 and April 2022, with a margin of error of about 2 points in each country....

One U.S. intelligence official who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that Russian Tupolev Tu-95-model bombers active on high-frequency communications were being armed and readied to take off immediately. While the U.S. intelligence official said the pilots were operating on 8.131 Kz, the exact airfield could not be determined. A second U.S. intelligence official said that Russian Spetsnaz special forces units were operational in the country. Newsweek received the information just as Russian President Vladimir Putin announced late Wednesday, early Thursday local time, a “special military operation” to “demilitarize” Ukraine, which he has accused of seeking nuclear weapons both of its own and of the U....

Overall melatonin use is relatively low among U.S. adults. However, by 2017–2018, the percentage of adults taking more than 5 milligrams of melatonin a day had more than tripled compared to a decade earlier, according to a recent study. And according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of children taking melatonin—whether by accident or on purpose—increased by 530% from 2012 to 2021, with more than 260,000 ingestions reported....

The recent study, posted on the preprint server MedRxiv, is not the first to look at whether it’s possible to extend the interval between the two COVID-19 vaccine doses. Back in February, researchers found that administering the second dose of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine three months after the first—instead of six weeks or less after—increased the number of antibodies that a person’s body produced. As more research suggests that it’s safe—and possibly even beneficial—to intentionally delay the second dose of the COVID vaccine, you might be wondering if you should consider it....

A recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll found that more than three-quarters of people think COVID-19 infection is inevitable for most people. The poll shows that the public, overall, is more worried about the impact Omicron is having on the U.S. economy and local hospitals than their personal lives. This mentality paired with lifted restrictions across the world is leading to a laissez-faire attitude toward the virus. While the advancements we’ve made in the last year do change the state of the pandemic, experts emphasize that it’s too soon to throw caution to the wind....

The market has been in a frenzy over the U.K.’s newly appointed government’s financial plans since Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng announced tax cuts on September 23, which he said would be funded by future debt. “They announced they were going to have a spending binge, essentially, by cutting taxes at a time when there was already a very substantial budget deficit and a high-debt-to-GDP-ratio,” Professor James Foreman-Peck of Cardiff University in the U....

Updated company guidance, which was seen by Bloomberg News, bans “external position flags” such as those used for gay pride or Black Lives Matter occasions. In a statement shared with Newsweek, Tracey Gunnlaugsson, vice president of human resources at Exxon Mobil, said the “updated flag protocol is intended to clarify the use of the ExxonMobil branded company flag and not intended to diminish our commitment to diversity and support for employee resource groups....

Eye Socket Anatomy Usually, the eye is safely cocooned in the proper position, sitting in the bony orbit. Attaching the eye here are six muscles that allow tandem movement in many directions within the socket. These attach to the sclera, the tough outer white surface of the eye. Protecting the eye are the seven bones of the orbit. These include: Ethmoid Frontal Lacrimal Maxilla Sphenoid Palatine Zygomatic Through the orbit, the eye is not only connected to needed veins and arteries, but also to the all-important optic nerve....
