Alussa keskustelussa Yhdysvalloissa on käynnistänyt yli 20 airstriikkoa korvauksissa, joissa on syntynyt yli 80 ihmistä. Nyt kolumbiallinen ihminen, joka on syntynyt yhdessä niistä airstriikkoista, on käynnistänyt ensimmäisen legaattisen kohtaan Trumpin hallituksesta.

The petition alleges that the Colombian fisherman Alejandro Carranza was illegally killed in September. It's been lodged with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, part of the Regional Forum, the Organization of American States. The U.S. says the strikes will continue, justifying the attacks as necessary to stop what it describes as narco-terrorists smuggling drugs to the U.S. Our Latin America expert Luis Farjado joined us from Miami.

81-vuotias Juweri Musevni on Afrikan suurin puolustusjärjestö. Hän on lukenut Ugandaa vuonna 1986 ja toivoo kestää lukua valitsemaan ensi kuukaudella. Nyt Yhdysvallan yliopiston yhdysvallan järjestäjä Volker Turk on vahvistunut valtion repressioon ennen valinnan. Volker Turk sanoi, että yhdysvallan järjestö ja media yhdysvallan yhdysvallan yhdysvallan yhdysvallan yhdysvallan yhdysvallan

President Museveni's main rival is the singer turned politician Bobby Wine, who's had a massive following among young Ugandans, as Richard Hamilton explains. Hundreds of Bobby Wine's supporters line the route as his motorcade travels to a campaign rally in the north of the country.

But it's noticeable that Bobby Wine is wearing a bulletproof flak jacket and helmet. On Tuesday he told supporters he felt he was in a war zone. He accused the governing national resistance movement of spending thousands of dollars disrupting his campaign with roadblocks, detentions, tear gas and even live ammunition. At least one person has died and many have been injured in clashes with the armed forces.

Intimidaatioita ei ole uusi taktiikka Ugandaissa. Vuosia sitten vetäjäoppositoimittaja Kisa Besije oli syntynyt monimutkaisiin arvosteluihin. Nyt 43-vuotias Bobby Wine käsittelee samanlainen kärsimyksen. Oktogenarian presidentin kanssa hän on ottanut modernin teknologian ympäristöön yrittäminen. Mitä sinä kutsut Gen Z? Minä olen vanha Gen Z itselleni.

Mutta sinä, sinä, sinä, sinä, sinä, sinä, sinä, sinä, sinä, sinä.

A California doctor who admitted supplying the Hollywood actor Matthew Perry with drugs in the weeks before he died has been sentenced to 30 months in a federal prison. Dr. Salvador Plasencia is the first person to be sentenced in connection with the 54-year-old's death in 2023. Our North America correspondent Peter Bowes told us about the sentencing.

Dr. Placencia pleaded guilty to four counts of supplying ketamine to Matthew Perry. Technically he could have faced ten years for each count, but he reached a plea deal and expressed remorse for what he did. The judge opted for a sentence of 30 months, two and a half years, after listening to relatives of Perry and the former doctor himself.

He'd illegally supplied Perry with ketamine, despite knowing that the actor was especially vulnerable due to a long history of addiction. Now the medical examiner had ruled that ketamine, which is typically used as a surgical anesthetic, that it was the primary cause of death, although...

The doctor wasn't treating Perry at the time of his death. Prosecutors say he repeatedly pushed the actor in the weeks before to pay thousands of dollars for additional supplies. In a text message to another physician, who has also pleaded guilty for his involvement, he wrote, I wonder how much this moron will pay.

Peter, there were emotional scenes in court, weren't there? Matthew Perry's mother addressed the court and Salvador Placencia directly. Yes, very emotional scenes. His mother, Suzanne Morrison, as you say, addressed the court. She told Placencia that he should have protected her son instead of profiting from his addiction. She responded to that text message saying that there was nothing moronic about

She pointed out that as a doctor, someone sworn to help to heal people, that Placentia had betrayed the medical oath and had exploited her son's struggle and contributed to his death. Now he agreed. He said he was sorry. He said he should have protected Matthew Perry. He told the family he'd failed him, that he'd failed the family, that he'd failed the community. He said...

He admitted there was no excuse for what he did and that his decisions had violated his responsibility as a physician. Peter Bowes in Los Angeles.

To the north of Scotland now, where the remains of a very rare deep sea creature have washed up on a remote beach. And no, it's not the Loch Ness Monster. It's been discovered that sections of huge purple tentacles covered in rows of suckers belong to one of the largest species of octopus, which normally live hundreds of meters below the surface of the sea.

Erittäin, erittäin ongelmallista. Ja kuten voin nähdä, ei ole rekordista, että se rauhoittaa rannan päällä. Joten mysteeri siitä, mitä tämä rannan oli tai mitä se perusti, on loppunut, mutta näyttää, että on vielä isompi mysteeri.
