<p>Drake is under fire after an old video resurfaced on social media in which he could be seen touching and kissing a 17-year-old girl.</p>

<p>The clip, which was shared on Twitter on January 3, shows the rapper flirting and dancing with the fan on stage.</p>

<p>According to Spin magazine, the video is from 2010, when Drake was 24.</p>

<p>In the 94 second-long video, the rapper is visible standing behind the girl and asks her, "I told you I like your hair, right? What is it, like herbal essences? Smells fresh."&nbsp;</p>

<p>He then goes on to kiss her neck and wrap his arms around her chest as the amused audience roared with laughter.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After taking a moment, Drake addressed the crowd on the mic, "Y'all know I get carried away again, I get in trouble for s**t."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The rapper next asked the girl her age and she replied she was 17.</p>

<p>In the video, an exasperated Drake can be seen flinging his hands as the crowd laughed and booed him off simultaneously.</p>

<p>Drake said, "I can't go to jail yet, man! 17? Why you look like that? You thick."</p>

<p>"I don't know if I should feel guilty or not but I had fun. I like the way your breasts feel against my chest," he added.</p>

<p>The "Signs" hitmaker then kissed the girl on her hand, both cheeks and forehead before giving her a peck on the lips.</p>

<p>The video was posted the same day "Surviving R Kelly", a controversial six-part documentary about Drake's alleged decades of sexual abuse with under-aged women, started airing.</p>

<p>A representative for the rapper did not respond to a request for comment.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Exposing Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's seriousness on combating terrorism, his junior interior minister has vowed to "protect" Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed and his party in a leaked video.</p>

<p>The leaked video showed Minister of State for Interior Shehryar Afridi talking to the Milli Muslim League (MML) leaders and when his attention was drawn towards non-registration of Saeed's party by the Election Commission (ECP) as a political party due to the US pressure and the ECP's plan to declare it a terrorist organisation, the minister said: "We will not let this happen."</p>

<p>"As long as we (the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf) are in the government all those including Hafiz Saeed who are raising voice for Pakistan and righteousness, we are with them," Afridi said, adding "this is our belief."<br />
"I request you to come to the National Assembly and see whether we are supporting those who on the right path or not," he told them.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Saeed was declared a global terrorist by the US and the UN after the 2008 Mumbai attack and was put under house arrest in November 2008 but freed by a court some months later. He carries a USD 10 million American bounty on his head for his role in terror activities.</p>

<p>In the leaked video, an MML leader said the high court ordered the ECP to register the MML as a political party but the top election body said that it had come to know that the US had declared MML a terrorist organisation.<br />
On this, the minister assured that "this will not happen in the Imran Khan's government."</p>

<p>Saeed launched the MML in August 2017 with a so-called mission to implement the ideology of Pakistan in accordance with the 1973 Constitution.</p>

<p>In April, the US placed the MML on its list of foreign terror organisations for its links with the Lashkar-e-Taiba.</p>

<p>The interior ministry had written to the ECP recommending not to register the MML as it is an off-shoot of Saeed's Jamat-ud Dawah, which has been declared as a foreign terrorist organisation by the US in June 2014.</p>

<p>The JuD is believed to be the front organisation for the Lashkar-e-Taiba which is responsible for carrying out the 2008 Mumbai attack that killed 166 people.</p>

<p>The MML contested general elections on the platform of the "dormant" political entity Allaha-u-Akbar Tehreek (AAT), which was registered with the ECP.</p>

<p>The Supreme Court in September last permitted the JuD and its arm Falah-e-Insaniyat Foundation (FIF) to continue their relief and charity work in the country.</p>

<p>JuD's network includes 300 seminaries and schools, hospitals, a publishing house and ambulance services. The JuD and FIF alone have about 50,000 volunteers and hundreds of other paid workers, according to two counter-terrorism officials</p>

<p>Earlier, the government banned companies and individuals from making donations to the JuD, the FIF, and other organisations on the UN Security Council sanctions list.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The woman, Elaine Herzberg, 49, later died from her injuries.</p>

<p>Police have released few details about the accident that occurred Sunday night in Tempe, Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix, while the car was driving in autonomous mode. Uber suspended its self-driving testing in North America after the incident.</p>

<p>The video shows the vehicle travelling in the right hand lane of a divided four-lane roadway. It is dark but the vehicle&#39;s headlights are on. Suddenly, the headlights illuminate a woman directly in front of the car who is crossing the car&#39;s lane with her bike.</p>

<p>A photo released by safety regulators on Tuesday of the vehicle showed that the impact occurred on the right side of the vehicle.</p>

Police in Arizona on Wednesday released a short video of a fatal collision between an Uber self-driving vehicle and a pedestrian, as an investigation continues into the accident that has put new focus on the safety of autonomous vehicles. The video, taken from inside the Volvo sports utility vehicle that Uber has used for testing, shows the vehicle driving along a dark road when an image of a woman walking a bicycle across the road appears in the headlights. Tempe Police Vehicular Crimes Unit is actively investigating the details of this incident that occurred on March 18th. We will provide updated information regarding the investigation once it is available. pic.twitter.com/2dVP72TziQ — Tempe Police (@TempePolice) March 21, 2018 × The woman, Elaine Herzberg, 49, later died from her injuries. Police have released few details about the accident that occurred Sunday night in Tempe, Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix, while the car was driving in autonomous mode. Uber suspended its self-driving testing in North America after the incident. The video shows the vehicle travelling in the right hand lane of a divided four-lane roadway. It is dark but the vehicle's headlights are on. Suddenly, the headlights illuminate a woman directly in front of the car who is crossing the car's lane with her bike. A photo released by safety regulators on Tuesday of the vehicle showed that the impact occurred on the right side of the vehicle. The video also shows the driver at the wheel, who appears to be looking down. Just before the video stops, the driver looks up and suddenly looks shocked. “The video is disturbing and heartbreaking to watch, and our thoughts continue to be with Elaine’s loved ones,” Uber said in a statement. “Our cars remain grounded, and we’re assisting local, state and federal authorities in any way we can.” The video is likely to be a key part of investigations of Uber’s self-driving car technology and whether it was ready for testing on public roads.

Video: Arizona Police release footage of fatal collision with Uber self-driving SUV

<p>A North Carolina man who routinely broadcast his daily life on Facebook Live was fatally shot on Monday while walking through a neighborhood just outside Wingate University.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Prentis Robinson, 55, was shot just near North Carolina&#39;s police headquarters, where he had just reported a stolen cell phone.&nbsp;Investigators believe the shocking murder was retaliation from area drug dealer, reports said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The suspect, 65-year-old Douglas Cleveland Colson, surrendered Tuesday to the Union County Sheriff&#39;s Office, reports said. Reports further quoted a lifelong Wingate resident informing that has been arrested before.</p>

<p>&quot;The Wingate Police Department in conjunction with the State Bureau of Investigations (SBI) and the Union County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office worked a death investigation until they had a suspect, this morning they made an arrest and he is in custody,&quot; police said in a statement on Facebook.</p>

<p>In the live footage, which Facebook has since removed, Robinson was seen walking down a street in a neighborhood with a cell phone attached to a selfie stick, or a monopod device used to take photos or videos. He was talking to viewers.</p>

<p>Robinson then said &quot;you on Live&quot; repeatedly to someone off-camera. The person, who was not visible, then appears to have fired four gunshots at Robinson until he fell to the ground.</p>

<p>Facebook said in a statement that it removed the video because it had no way of knowing whether the victim would have wanted &quot;this horrific act&quot; to be broadcast on social media.</p>

<p>&quot;We will apply a warning screen to future uploads of the video intended to raise awareness or condemn this tragedy, and limit accessibility to people over the age of 18,&quot; said a Facebook spokesperson in a statement on Tuesday.</p>
