The court gave the decision of the trial in favour of Johnny Depp and the actor was awarded 10.4 million dollars to be paid by Amber Heard who was awarded 2 million dollars to be paid by Depp. However, Amber's lawyers themselves have said that it is very difficult for Amber to pay Johnny the damages.

<h2>Amber Heard Signs a Book Deal</h2>

New reports indicate&nbsp;that Amber Heard may have inked a multi-million dollar deal to write a “tell-all revenge book”.&nbsp; A&nbsp;source close to Heard told OK magazine,&nbsp;“Amber considers her career in Hollywood over. She’s already in talks and is excited about it. At this point, she has nothing to lose and wants to tell all. To the extent that Heard wants to discuss this case and her relationship with Depp in a tell-all statement or book, she needs to be extremely careful as to what she says about him”.&nbsp;According to the insider, the actress, 36, is "broke" and not in a position to turn down money",&nbsp;which is why she is embarking on this new venture.&nbsp;

<h2>Amber Heard's 'Tell All Revenge'&nbsp;Book</h2>

The "Tell All Revenge" book will reportedly explore her marriage to Depp, his alleged abuse and the&nbsp;defamation trial.&nbsp;However, Heard may risk defaming Depp again in the book, as a source close to her also mentioned that she needs to be extra careful so that she doesn't land in legal trouble again. In&nbsp;2018&nbsp;Amber wrote an op-ed in which she claimed she had been a domestic abuse survivor. The op-ed led to Johnny filing a defamation suit against her even though he was not named in the article. Hence, if the book also presents the same claims or things related to it, she might get in trouble again.&nbsp;

Will this multimillion book deal help Amber Heard to pay Johnny Depp $10.4 million in damages?

Iconic breakfast food brand&nbsp;Kellogg&nbsp;became the latest US corporate giant to announce a breakup, unveiling plans&nbsp;Tuesday to split into three companies in a move that lifted its share price.

The company -- known for such ubiquitous brands as Corn Flakes and Pop-Tarts -- will spin off its North American cereal business into a new company, while a second venture will house&nbsp;Kellogg's plant-based businesses.

The remaining corporation will be positioned as a higher-growth snacks business with exposure to emerging markets. This unit -- which will also house the international cereal operation -- accounted for roughly 80 percent of&nbsp;Kellogg's $14.1 billion in 2021 revenues.

"This will unlock and create opportunity for all three businesses,"&nbsp;Kellogg&nbsp;Chief Executive Steve Cahillane said on a conference call with analysts.

The yet-to-be-named entities will initially be known as Global Snacking Co., North America Cereal Co., and Plant Co. The latter two will be created through tax-free spin-offs.

North American Cereal, covering the United States, Canada and the Caribbean, "will be solely dedicated to winning cereal and will not have to compete for resources with a fast-growing snack business," said Cahillane, who will lead the new snacks company.&nbsp;

North American Cereal and Plant Co. would remain headquartered in Battle Creek, Michigan, while Global Snacking will have dual headquarters -- in Battle Creek and Chicago.

Leadership for the other two ventures has not yet been announced.

Kellogg's announcement comes on the heels of earlier corporate break-ups including General Electric's November 2021 announcement of a split into three ventures, which was followed a few weeks later and by Johnson &amp; Johnson saying it will break in two.

Growth markets

The company's origins date to 1894 when WK&nbsp;Kellogg&nbsp;created Corn Flakes breakfast cereal, launching the&nbsp;Kellogg&nbsp;company 12 years later in Battle Creek, Michigan.&nbsp;

Subsequent products included Rice Krispies, released in 1928, and Frosted Flakes, which was unveiled in 1952 with the Tony the Tiger character on the box, which became famous for his "They're gr-r-reat!" tagline.

But the bulk of the company's revenues now come from global snacks, where about 50 percent of sales come from emerging markets and developed international markets.

Snack brands include Pringles, Pop-Tarts and Rice Krispies Treats, while the group also houses Eggo and other frozen breakfasts and products such as noodles in Africa, which&nbsp;Kellogg&nbsp;described as a "rapidly expanding business."

Kellogg&nbsp;is aiming to complete the split by late 2023, subject to approval by US regulators.

Kellogg&nbsp;will continue to report as one company throughout 2022, said Chief Financial Officer Amit Banati.

The company expects to produce the required three years of audited financial statements for each of the ventures in the second half 2023.

Cahillane said it will be "business as usual over the next 18 months" while the company moves through the process.

He said Plant Co., which will house the MorningStar Farms alternative meat products, could also be acquired by another company if such an option arises and is better than an initial public offering.

Shares rose 2.9 percent to $69.60 in morning trading.

Kellogg pops as it plans spin-off of legacy cereal business

The&nbsp;cryptocurrency&nbsp;industry&nbsp;was on edge on Monday as bitcoin struggled to stay above a key level, with investors fearing that problems at major&nbsp;crypto&nbsp;players could unleash a wider market shakeout.

Bitcoin, the world's biggest&nbsp;cryptocurrency, was trading just under the symbolic level of $20,000 in early London trading hours - roughly the peak of its charge to its previous record in 2017.

Bitcoin had dropped on Saturday to as low as $17,592.78, falling below $20,000 for the first time since December 2020. It has lost almost 60% of its value this year and 37% this month alone in the&nbsp;cryptocurrency sector's latest meltdown.

Its fall follows problems at several major&nbsp;industry&nbsp;players. Further declines, market players said, could have a knock-on effect as other&nbsp;crypto&nbsp;investors are forced to sell their holdings to meet margin calls and cover losses.

Crypto&nbsp;hedge fund Three Arrows Capital is exploring options including the sale of assets and a bailout by another firm, its founders told the Wall Street Journal in a story published Friday, the same day Asia-focused&nbsp;crypto&nbsp;lender Babel Finance said it would suspend withdrawals.&nbsp;

US-based lender Celsius Network this month said it would suspend customer withdrawals. In a blog on Monday, Celsius said it would continue working with regulators and officials, but that it would pause its customer Q&amp;A sessions.&nbsp;

"There is a lot of credit being withdrawn from the system and if lenders have to absorb losses from Celsius and Three Arrows, they will reduce the size of their future loan books which means that the entire amount of credit available in the&nbsp;crypto&nbsp;ecosystem is much reduced," said Adam Farthing, chief risk office for Japan at&nbsp;crypto&nbsp;liquidity provider B2C2.

"It feels very like 2008 to me in terms of how there could be a domino effect of bankruptcies and liquidations," Farthing said.

Smaller tokens, which usually move in tandem with bitcoin, were also hurt. No.2 token ether was at $1,0752, having dipped below its own symbolic level of $1,000 over the weekend.

The fall in&nbsp;crypto&nbsp;markets has coincided with a slide for equities, as US&nbsp;stocks suffered their biggest weekly percentage decline in two years on fears of rising interest rates and the growing likelihood of a recession.&nbsp;

Bitcoin's moves have tended to follow a similar pattern to other risk assets such as tech stocks.

The overall&nbsp;crypto&nbsp;market capitalisation is roughly $877 billion, according to price site Coinmarketcap, down from a peak of $2.9 trillion in November 2021.

A fall in stablecoins - a type of&nbsp;crypto&nbsp;designed to hold a steady value - is also suggesting investors are pulling money from the sector as a whole.

Crypto industry fears contagion as bitcoin slips under $20,000

Belgium on Monday handed over the last remains of slain Congolese leader&nbsp;Patrice&nbsp;Lumumba&nbsp;-- a tooth -- to his family, turning a page on a grim chapter in its colonial past.

Chief prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw gave the relatives a small, bright blue box containing the tooth in a televised ceremony, and said legal action they had taken to receive the relic had delivered "justice".

The tooth was placed in a casket that was then draped in the flag of the Democratic Republic of Congo, which celebrates&nbsp;Lumumba, who was murdered by separatists and Belgian mercenaries in 1961, as an anti-colonial hero.

Lumumba's assassination -- and the brutal history of Belgian control of the Congo -- have been enduring sources of pain between the two countries.&nbsp;

Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo reiterated that his country's authorities bore a "moral responsibility" over the killing.&nbsp;

"I would like, in the presence of his family, to present in my turn the apologies of the Belgian government," he said. &nbsp;

"A man was murdered for his political convictions, his words, his ideals."

Lumumba's son Francois told Belgium's RTBF broadcaster that his relatives had been waiting "more than 60 years" for this event.

"I think it will provide solace for the family and the Congolese people," he said.&nbsp;

"We are opening a new page in history."

A fiery critic of Belgium's rapacious rule,&nbsp;Lumumba&nbsp;became his country's first prime minister after it gained independence in 1960.&nbsp;

But he fell out with the former colonial power and the United States and was ousted in a coup a few months after&nbsp;taking office.&nbsp;

He was executed on January 17 1961, aged just 35, in the southern region of Katanga, with the support of Belgian mercenaries.&nbsp;

His body was dissolved in acid and never found.

But the tooth was kept as a trophy by one of those involved, a Belgian police officer.

The tooth was seized by Belgian authorities in 2016 from the daughter of the policeman, Gerard Soete, after&nbsp;Lumumba's family filed a complaint.&nbsp;

'National mourning'

The casket containing the tooth is set to be flown back to the DRC where it will be officially laid to rest at a memorial site.&nbsp;

The country is set to hold three days of "national mourning" from 27 to 30 June -- its 62nd anniversary of independence -- to mark the burial ceremony.

Lumumba's older son Francois filed a complaint in Belgium in 2011, pointing the finger of responsibility for his father's killing at a dozen Belgian officials and diplomats. &nbsp;

The investigation for "war crimes" is still ongoing but only two of the targeted officials are still alive.&nbsp;

A Belgian parliamentary commission of enquiry in 2001 concluded that Belgium had "moral responsibility" for the assassination and the government presented the country's "apologies" a year later.&nbsp;

De Croo said Belgian officials "chose not to see, chose not to act" to stop the killing, even if they had not directly intended it to happen.&nbsp;

Lumumba's children were also received Monday by Belgium's King Philippe, who this month travelled to DR Congo to express his "deepest regrets" over the colonial past.&nbsp;

Historians say that millions of people were killed, mutilated or died of disease as they were forced to collect rubber under Belgian rule.&nbsp;The land was also pillaged for its mineral wealth, timber and ivory.

Lamarckdromia beagle, a new species of crab has been discovered off Western Australia's south coast. What makes this particular crab interesting is it wears a little protective hat made of a living sea sponge.

Lamarckdromia beagle, a new species of crab has been discovered off Western Australia's south coast. What makes this particular crab interesting is it wears a little protective hat made of a living sea sponge. The crab belongs to Dromiidae family. Reports have mentioned that the Crustaceans in the family use sea sponges and ascidians for protection. Mostly, they wear them like hats after trimming the creatures using their claws. The hairy crustacean has been named in honour of the HMS Beagle, a ship that carried Charles Darwin around the world while he was conducting his research. Dr Andrew Hosie, who is the Western Australian Museum curator of crustacea and worms said that the hind legs of sponge crabs were specially adapted for holding their protective hats. Dr Hosie told ABC: "They have an unusual behaviour of carrying around a piece of living sponge. The crabs trim the sponge to shape, let it grow to shape of their body and use them as a hat or protective blanket keep them protected from predators such as octopus and fish." As per reports, the sponges help Dromiidae crabs camouflage from predators, which is very similar to the hermit crabs' use of shells for protection. "The sponge or the ascidian that these things carry should offer it all the camouflage it needs. I expect that having the extra fluffy legs means that the outline is, even more, obscured," Dr Hosie said.

There's not a lot of active predators that would be interested in munching through a sponge just to get to a crab." As per a report by Guardian, a family living in Denmark, Western Australia found a Lamarckdromia beagle specimen. The crab was washed up on the beach. The family sent it to the Western Australian Museum for identification. WATCH WION LIVE HERE You can now write for wionews.com and be a part of the community.

Laurentino Cortizo, the President of Panama on Monday (June 20) revealed that he has been diagnosed with a rare blood disorder known as myelodysplastic syndrome.

Laurentino Cortizo, the President of Panama on Monday (June 20) revealed that he has been diagnosed with a rare blood disorder known as myelodysplastic syndrome. Cortizo also said that he would be seeking a second medical opinion and the 69-year-old said he feels well and is in "good spirits." In a televised statement, the president said that in late May, his doctors detected "a decrease in haemoglobin and white blood cell count" during routine testing. After that, a bone marrow biopsy was performed and samples were sent to a US laboratory on the recommendation of specialists. He was then diagnosed with "intermediate risk" myelodysplastic syndrome. Cortizo did not reveal if he would receive treatment. He said that he will undergo a second evaluation in the US city of Houston in July to find out the extent of the disease. "I want to say that I feel well, I'm in good spirits and that I will continue with my regular work," Cortizo said. What is myelodysplastic syndrome? According to the American Cancer Society, myelodysplastic syndrome is considered a type of cancer affecting the body's ability to make healthy blood cells in the bone marrow. The disorder basically hinders the production of blood cells. As per the UK-based National Health Service, Reports have noted that the treatments for myelodysplastic syndrome can range from blood transfusions to chemotherapy or stem cell transplants. Julio Sandoval, a doctor specialising in internal medicine and critical care, told AFP: "The disease diagnosed to the president is a type of blood cancer." Citing Sandoval, the news agency further reported that this type of cancer makes the patient feel tired and weak, and leads to weight loss. Sandoval said that the disease can be caused "by a genetic disorder that develops silently and appears after the age of 60."

In the United States, an increase in gun violence and mass killings has sparked renewed calls for reform of the nation's gun laws.&nbsp;

Some are even debating whether authorities should allow teachers to carry arms. The idea of permitting teachers and other school staff to carry guns is not entirely new.&nbsp;

In the aftermath, a bipartisan group of senators recently announced measures targeted to control the recent increase in gun violence in the country. They have chalked out a framework for new legislation.&nbsp;

The reports by Austin American-Statesman and KVUE stated that the documents show that the gunman entered the school at 11:33am local time.&nbsp;

As per media reports, school district police chief Peter Arredondo had stated that the gunman had "shot a lot" and that the police only had "pistols".&nbsp;

Now the latest reports by Austin American-Statesman and KVUE noted that 11 police officers arrived within three minutes. In fact, an officer with a ballistic shield was in the building at 11:52am (local time).&nbsp;

Uvalde shooting: First interior image shows armed police were waiting in school hallway

South Korea on Tuesday (June 21) launched its first domestically-developed space rocket informally called Nuri. The launch has successfully placed several satellites in orbit, officials said. This is the country's second attempt after a launch last October failed.&nbsp;

South Korea's state television pictures showed the rocket lifting off from Naro Space Center on the southern coast of South Korea at 0700 GMT. The launch is termed a major step in the country's efforts to jumpstart the space programme after the failed test last year.&nbsp;

After the launch, the officials revealed that Nuri, which is a 162.5-kg (358 lb)satellite designed to verify the rocket's performance entered the orbit and successfully made contact with a base station in Antarctica.&nbsp;

As per the officials, the rocket successfully placed a 1.3-ton dummy satellite and four small cube satellites developed by universities for research, into orbit.&nbsp;

South Korea's YTN television reported minutes after lift-off that "Nuri separates dummy satellite" and shortly after the launch, the TV report noted that it "appears to be a success".&nbsp;

The three-stage Nuri rocket has been a decade in development for $1.5 billion and it weighs 200 tonnes and is 47.2 metres long, fitted with a total of six liquid-fuelled engines.&nbsp;

Science and ICT Minister Lee Jong-ho told a briefing: "The sky of the Korean universe is now wide open. Our science and technology has made great strides."&nbsp;

President Yoon Suk-yeol hailed the achievement as he watched the launch from his office. As per a statement by his office, he thanked everyone involved in the project.&nbsp;

As quoted by media outlets, Yoon said: "Now the road to space from our land has been opened. It was the product of 30 years of daunting challenges. From now on, the dreams and hopes of our people and our youth will extend into space."&nbsp;
