Israel-Hamas war: US says reasonable to say Israel violated International Law

<p>The body camera footage from a deputy sheriff who fatally shot a US Air Force member at his home has been publically released by the Florida police.</p>

<p>23-year-old Senior Airman Roger Fortson was taken to a hospital where he died, according to the officials.</p>

<p>A lawyer for the victim's family, citing a witness, alleged the police burst into the wrong home.</p>

<p>The claim of self-defence is disputed by police, who say the deputy reacted to protect themselves from an armed Fortson.</p>

<p>Fortson was shot on May 3 at his home, located 5 miles from the Special Operations Wing at Hurlburt Field, Florida, where he is based.</p>

<p>The deputy who shot him has since been placed on administrative leave. However, the department has not disclosed the name of the deputy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The shooting is being investigated by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the State Attorney's Office, said Okaloosa County Sheriff Eric Aden.</p>

<p>Aden has promised to provide transparency and accountability but added, “These investigations take time. But I assure you that we are not hiding, covering up, or taking any action that would result in a rushed judgment of Fortson or our deputy."</p>

<h2><strong>What the video shows</strong></h2>

<p>The sheriff showed the video taken from the&nbsp;body camera worn by the deputy who fired the fatal shots.</p>

<p>Body camera footage released by police shows officers arriving at Fortson's apartment complex. A witness, who reported hearing a fight, leads them to an elevator.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The footage then shows a single deputy approaching the apartment door, knocking, and announcing twice that he is with the sheriff's office.</p>

<p>Fortson was seen holding a gun as he opened the door. The deputy then fired multiple shots as soon as the door opened, telling him afterwards to drop the weapon.</p>

<p>"It's over there. I don't have it," Fortson said as he lay on the floor.</p>

<h2>What the Fortson family says</h2>

<p>A lawyer for the Fortson family, Ben Crump, said in a news conference, "He was a patriot. He was a US airman, special ops. He was fighting for our way of life. He was fighting for everybody."</p>

<p>The lawyer further informed&nbsp;that at the time of the shooting, Fortson was on a video call with a friend, who described the scene.</p>

<p>According to the friend, the airman heard a knock at his door and called out, but no answer came. A second, much more forceful knock followed, yet the peephole revealed nothing.</p>

<p>It is at this point that Fortson is said to have grown concerned and retrieved his gun, which the lawyer said was legally owned.</p>

<p>As Fortson returned to his living room, the witness said police burst through the door, saw that the resident was armed and shot him six times.</p>

<p>The lawyer said the witness believed the officers were in the wrong apartment.</p>

<p>The sheriff on Thursday denied that officers had gone to the wrong address.</p>

Bodycam video showing fatal shooting of US Airman released

<p>Hillary Clinton, the former US secretary of state, has said that students who support Palestine on college campuses throughout the country lack knowledge of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict's history.</p>

<p>Pro-Palestinian protests have been happening on college campuses&nbsp;after Israel attacked Gaza in response to the October 7 attack by Hamas, but in recent weeks, the level of activity has dramatically escalated.</p>

<p>On Thursday, Clinton on MSNBC's Morning Joe said that the continuing protests are being driven by a lack of understanding of "the history of the Middle East," adding that young people are also ignorant of American history.</p>

<p>"I have had many conversations, as you have had, with a lot of young people over the last many months now. They don't know very much at all about the history of the Middle East. Or, frankly, about history in many areas of the world, including in our own country," Clinton said.</p>

<p>Clinton went on to recall her husband, former president Bill Clinton, trying to mediate a "two-state solution" agreement between the Israeli government and the then-dominant Palestinian Authority during the 2000 Camp David Summit.</p>

<p>The former first lady referred to the non-agreement of former Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat as "one of the great tragedies of history" and emphasised that a Palestinian state would have been in place for many years had an agreement been achieved.</p>

<p>Clinton stated that Arafat "wanted" to sign the pact but was "pretty sure he'd be killed" by Hamas militants, citing the assassinations of former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and former Egyptian President Anwar Sadat as examples of extremists pursuing peace.</p>

<p>The Israeli-Palestinian conflict's historical settlement efforts were described by the former secretary of state as "a very important piece of history to comprehend if you're going to take any kind of position concerning what's going on right now."</p>

<p>Clinton said that pro-Hamas "propaganda" on social media and in the classroom may have tricked college demonstrators, adding that young people are receiving material that frequently has a hidden "agenda" or are without "any kind of context."</p>

<p>"Propaganda is not education. Propaganda, whether it's on TikTok or in the classroom, is actually the opposite of education. Anybody who is teaching in a university, or anyone who is putting content on social media, should be held responsible for what they include and what they exclude," Clinton said.</p>

<p>"So much of what we're seeing—particularly on TikTok—about what's going on in the Middle East, is woefully false. But it's also incredibly slanted: pro-Hamas, anti-Israel. And it is not any place where anyone should go to get information on complex manners, like what's going on there," she added.</p>

<p>A couple in Texas welcomed four identical daughters on May 1. According to doctors, the chances of having identical quadruplets are roughly one in 15 million, making Mercedes and Jonathan Sandhu very rare.</p>

<p>Mercedes, 34, and Jonathan, 37 are both engineers and parents of two boys. At 29 weeks gestation, Hannah Grace, Lucy Marie, Rebecca Claire, and Petra Anne were delivered by cesarean section. Petra was the tiniest, weighing 2 pounds, 7 ounces, while Hannah was the largest at 2 pounds, 13 ounces.</p>

<p>Finally weighing in on the 2024 US Presidential elections, Allan Lichtman, who has earned the title of "Nostradamus of US presidential elections," says that incumbent President Joe Biden has an edge over former President Donald Trump.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Lichtman&nbsp;has&nbsp;acquired&nbsp;the&nbsp;nickname&nbsp;of&nbsp;Nostradamus,&nbsp;a&nbsp;16th-century French astrologer, whose forecasts are still well-recognised today. Lichtman had accurately&nbsp;predicted the outcome of nine&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;previous&nbsp;10&nbsp;elections.</p>

<p>With the use of a method&nbsp;he created, dubbed "13 Keys to the White House," Lichtman, a history professor at the American University in Washington, has predicted the outcome of almost every US presidential election since 1984.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The 13 keys are simple to use: if 8 or more of the 13 keys are true for the incumbent party, its candidate will win the election—but if fewer than 8 are true, the challenger will win," the American University website description of the method reads.</p>

<p>Lichtman told NDTV that he has not made a final prediction yet, but according to the '13 keys to the White House' model which has been correct since 1984 - 10 elections in a row, a lot would have to go wrong for Joe Biden to lose this election as he is just down by just two keys.</p>

	<li><strong>Contest:</strong>&nbsp;There is no serious contest for the incumbent party nomination.&nbsp;</li>
	<li><strong>Incumbency:</strong>&nbsp;The incumbent party candidate is the sitting president.&nbsp;</li>
	<li><strong>Third party:</strong>&nbsp;There is no significant third party or independent campaign.&nbsp;</li>
	<li><strong>Short term&nbsp;economy:</strong>&nbsp;The economy is not in recession during the election campaign.&nbsp;</li>
	<li><strong>Long term&nbsp;economy:</strong>&nbsp;Real per capita economic growth during the term equals or exceeds mean growth during the previous two terms.&nbsp;</li>
	<li><strong>Policy change:</strong>&nbsp;The incumbent administration&nbsp;effects&nbsp;major changes in national policy.&nbsp;</li>
	<li><strong>Social unrest:</strong>&nbsp;There is no sustained social unrest during the term.&nbsp;</li>

<p>According to Annenberg Media student reporters, the campus was closed as more than 100 police officers dressed in riot gear encircled the campsite.</p>

<p>This came after the USC official account posted a warning on X early morning, that read, "If you are in the centre of campus, please leave. People who don't leave will be arrested."</p>

<p>Over an hour later, the university announced in another post that the campsite had been evacuated. "The camp at UPC has been removed. "The campus remains closed," the USC Twitter account tweeted on X.</p>

<p>Joel Curran, Senior Vice President of Communications, said in a statement, "Earlier today, the University of Southern California Department of Public Safety (DPS) successfully removed the illegal encampment rebuilt on the university's campus. It was necessary to request the Los Angeles Police Department to respond to provide security as this was carried out peacefully. No arrests have been reported. We want to thank LAPD for assisting DPS in clearing the encampment and restoring normalcy for students and community as quickly and safely as possible. We will share more information with our community later today."</p>

<p>The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently recalled over 16,000 pounds of ground beef sold at Walmart stores nationwide.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Biden administration on Tuesday (Apr 30) will move to reclassify marijuana as a low-risk drug, marking an end to a decades-old policy which criminalised its use and completely disregarded its medical benefits.</p>

<p>The US Drug Enforcement Administration will recommend rescheduling marijuana as a Schedule III controlled substance, which will make it join the ranks of ketamine and Tylenol with codeine.</p>

<p>“[The Department of Justice] continues to work on this rule. We have no further comment at this time,” a US official&nbsp;was quoted&nbsp;as saying by CNN.</p>

<p>The recommendation by the US Drug Enforcement Administration will be reviewed by the White House and potentially might also require Congressional approval.</p>

<h2><strong>Current policy</strong></h2>

<p>For the last 50 years, marijuana has&nbsp;been classified&nbsp;as a Schedule I substance — drugs like heroin, bath salts and ecstasy. These substances have no medical use and hold massive potential for abuse.</p>

<ol>
	<li>A lower risk for abuse than other substances on Schedules I and II&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Known medical benefits&nbsp;</li>
	<li>A risk&nbsp;of low or moderate physical dependence in people who abuse it.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>

<p>The National Institute on Drug Abuse said it supported the recommendation.</p>

<h2><strong>Policy in US states</strong></h2>

<p>As of today, 24 US states, two territories and DC have legalised the use of marijuana for adult recreational purposes, whereas 38 states allow it to&nbsp;be used&nbsp;for medical use.</p>
