Last Friday, after visiting IDP camps and meeting Governor Hyacinth Alia, he advised careful steps with external help, fearing it might worsen insecurity. The change draws accusations of inconsistency amid persistent violence under leaders from different regions, while President Tinubu echoes homegrown solutions like Boko Haram surrenders.

Key Takeaway

In Makurdi, amid Benue's ongoing farmer-herder clashes, Wole Soyinka once urged international help and now warns it could backfire. His words from seven years ago contrast sharply with last week's caution to local leaders.

The 19-year-old Mrázková and 22-year-old Mrázek, training in Italy and ranked 18th worldwide, earned 72.09 points in the rhythm dance at the Milano Ice Skating Arena, placing them provisionally 10th.

While some demand disqualification over clashing with ice dance's artistic soul, others see it as a fair way to access music without legal hassles—the pair debuted the program this season amid similar past debates.

Key Takeaway

Kateřina Mrázková and Daniel Mrázek glided onto the ice blending AI-generated rock with AC/DC's Thunderstruck, drawing cheers from the crowd but sharp online criticism for using artificial tunes in a human art form.

The Justice Department released over 3.5 million pages from an exhaustive FBI investigation into Epstein's homes, records, and victim interviews, confirming he abused at least 35 minors through payments for sexualized massages. No videos, client lists, or financial ties linked his actions to others, despite allegations from four or five victims and probes into associates like Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted and sentenced to 20 years. Politicians from both parties expressed outrage, accusing cover-ups and demanding further scrutiny, while grim details like alleged stranglings at Epstein's ranch raise new questions.

Key Takeaway

Newly released FBI documents detail Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of dozens of underage girls, but uncover no proof of a broader trafficking network involving powerful figures.
