 A 34-year-old woman from Australia’s Sunshine Coast has been charged with poisoning a one-year-old girl and allegedly exploiting videos of the child’s suffering to gain followers and solicit donations, according to Queensland Police. Authorities claim the woman administered unauthorized prescription and pharmacy medications to the infant, who was known to her, without medical approval. "It is further alleged that she disregarded medical advice and went to significant lengths to acquire unauthorized medicines, including repurposing outdated medications intended for another individual in her household," the police statement read. The alleged poisoning occurred between August 6 and October 15, 2024, during which time the child endured significant distress and pain. Medical staff at a hospital where the child was treated raised concerns and alerted detectives, leading to an investigation. Police also allege the woman filmed and posted videos of the child’s suffering online. The ...

 Three lawyers who represented the late Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny were convicted of extremist activities and sentenced to prison by a Russian court on Friday. The lawyers—Igor Sergunin, Alexei Liptser, and Vadim Kobzev—received sentences ranging from three-and-a-half to five-and-a-half years in a penal colony following a closed trial in the Vladimir region, east of Moscow. The lawyers were arrested in October 2023 and added to Russia's official list of "terrorists and extremists" in November of the same year. Human rights groups have condemned the trial and convictions, arguing that targeting lawyers defending political dissidents marks a troubling escalation in the suppression of dissent under President Vladimir Putin. “This is a blatant violation of fundamental legal principles,” stated Pervy Otdel, a legal advocacy group. “Lawyers are not accomplices of their clients; they provide a defense, a right enshrined in the Russian constitution.” Navalny, a prom...

  A Pakistani court has sentenced former Prime Minister Imran Khan to 14 years in prison and his wife, Bushra Bibi, to seven years, following convictions on corruption charges. The ruling was delivered on Friday, adding to the legal challenges faced by Khan, who is already incarcerated. The charges stem from allegations that the couple accepted a gift of land from real estate tycoon Malik Riaz in exchange for laundered funds. Prosecutors contend that Riaz used the laundered money—amounting to £190 million ($240 million) returned to Pakistan by British authorities in 2022—to pay fines imposed in a separate case. The funds, which should have been deposited into Pakistan’s national treasury, were allegedly misused with Khan's approval while he was in office. Khan has consistently denied any wrongdoing, labeling the charges as politically motivated efforts by his rivals to block his return to power. Since his removal through a parliamentary no-confidence vote in April 2022, Khan has fa...

Elon Musk has been sued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over his acquisition of Twitter, now rebranded as X. The SEC alleges that Musk failed to disclose his ownership of Twitter stock in a timely manner in early 2022, allowing him to underpay by at least $150 million for shares he bought after surpassing a 5% ownership threshold. Musk began purchasing Twitter shares in early 2022 and, by March, owned more than 5% of the company's stock. According to the SEC, Musk was legally required to disclose this ownership but delayed doing so until April 4, 11 days past the deadline. The lawsuit claims this delay gave Musk an unfair financial advantage during his subsequent acquisition of Twitter in October 2022. Musk's attorney, Alex Spiro, dismissed the lawsuit as baseless, describing it as a “sham” and an indication that the SEC lacks a substantial case. "This lawsuit is an admission by the SEC that they cannot bring an actual case since Mr. Musk has done no...

In a tragic incident on the Batati/Lanle Road in Niger State, eight farmers lost their lives in a fatal collision. The accident, which occurred around 8 pm on Monday, involved a Toyota Corolla and a tanker trailer in a devastating head-on crash. Reports indicate that the Toyota Corolla, reportedly speeding and attempting to overtake another vehicle, collided with an oncoming tanker destined for Lagos to load fuel. The victims, identified as farmers who had relocated from Niger Zone B to Dasu village in Lavun Local Government Area due to insecurity, were tragically crushed beyond recognition in the collision. Witnesses described the scene as horrifying, with bodies of the victims, men of varying ages, completely mangled. An anonymous eyewitness recounted, "It was a terrible sight. The bodies were beyond recognition. Road Safety must intensify efforts to curb overspeeding and reckless overtaking on our roads." Mohammed Sanusi, Assistant Commander of the Road Transport Employers...

In a closely watched vote on Tuesday, the House of Representatives passed a measure to restrict transgender students from competing on women’s sports teams. The legislation, known as H.R. 28, was approved by a 218-206 margin, with two Democrats joining Republicans and one voting present. A cornerstone of the GOP's education agenda, the bill seeks to ban transgender women from participating in sports teams that align with their gender identity. It also amends Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in education, to define sex strictly based on reproductive biology and genetics at birth. While the bill allows transgender students to train or practice with women's teams, it bars them from competition. President-elect Donald Trump, who highlighted transgender rights and inclusion as key campaign issues, has endorsed the legislation, marking a pivotal moment in the ongoing debate. For many Republicans, the bill is a strategic move to put pressure on Democ...
