AI Summary:
President-elect Donald Trump has been sentenced in New York on 34 felony counts. Judge Juan Mearchan alluded to the "unique and remarkable set of circumstances" he reiterated that US presidents are ordinary citizens in the eyes of the court. Trump is already the first to have been impeached twice, though neither impeachment resulted in a conviction. Lead prosecutor Joshua Steinglass said the sentence "cements" his status as a convicted felon. Steinglass also noted that Trump's public behaviour during the trial included screeds against the judge, his family, public prosecutors and the jury. The sentencing was postponed for the duration of the 2024 election campaign. Joe Biden has repeatedly threatened to instruct federal judiciary to prosecute his political enemies and journalists for alleged, usually unspecified crimes. The New York case marks Trump's first full criminal conviction and sentencing.

AI Summary:
Lakurawa is attacking villages in remote corners of northwestern Nigeria and across the border in Niger. At least nine suspected members are known and have been declared wanted by the Nigerian army. The northern region is one of the hottest beds of violence in Nigeria. Lakurawa members were herdsmen who would carry rifles for protection. They formed an organised armed group after local leaders in rural communities of Gudu and Tangaza, in Nigeria’s Sokoto State, invited them to help tackle armed bandits who were then raiding communities for money and cattle. Remote communities in Nigeria are often ungoverned due to the inadequacies of the country’s local and state governments, allowing crime to thrive. Tensions between Nigeria and Niger have hindered a joint and integrated response to Lakurawa. In one of the latest attacks on November 9, the group’s raid on the Mera community left 15 people dead. Nigeria’s military acknowledged in December that it mistakenly killed 10 civilians after an air strike on the group’s munition hideout in the villages of Gidan Bisa and Gidan Runtuwa caused secondary explosions. The villages were a high concentration for the group, an army spokesperson said. Niger’s government has not revealed whether it has conducted special operations targeting the group.

AI Summary:
Israeli officials are concerned about their soldiers being arrested after fighting in Gaza. Israeli reservist Yuval Vagdani was among the first of what HRF founder and Chair Dyab Abou Jahjah says will be many soldiers accused of war crimes. "If individual soldiers feel they haven’t committed a war crime, that’s fine" Let’s hear their case. Hind Rajab is the name of a five-year-old girl who was killed in a car in Gaza by Israel as she pleaded on the phone for three hours for help. HRF lawyers and online activists trawl through mountains of images and videos submitted to them online to verify and geolocate each one. Where the perpetrator is a dual national, HRF seeks prosecution under the second country’s existing laws on war crimes. "People don’t regard Palestinians as even human now, if they ever really did. To most people, Palestinians aren’t even vermin. Vermin has to be killed," Goldberg said. Goldberg: "They’re spinning this as the world against Israel"

Trump is set to be sentenced by a New York court for covering up hush money payments to a porn star. The highest US court cleared Trump’s sentencing on Friday. Two conservative justices joined the three liberal members in a 5-4 decision. Trump was found guilty by a jury last May of 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels in exchange for her silence shortly before the 2016 US election. Prosecutors have said the payment was designed to help Trump’s chances in the 2016 election, when he defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton.
