According to a police complaint, the director of the smash superhero picture Black Panther was mistaken for a bank robber while attempting to withdraw money from his own account in the United States. In January, Ryan Coogler was briefly detained after attempting to withdraw $12,000 (£9,100) from an Atlanta bank. After misinterpreting the circumstances, the teller reportedly told her boss she feared an attempted robbery. The "situation should never have happened," Mr. Coogler told TMZ in the United States. Bank of America, on the other hand, has "worked with me and addressed it to my satisfaction, and we have gone on," according to the 35-year-old. According to the police report received by the entertainment website, Mr Coogler presented the teller a withdrawal form with a message requesting $12,000 from his checking account while wearing a covid face mask, sunglasses, and a hat. The note further requested that the money be tallied someplace else, with the phrase &qu

After a jury convicted him guilty of lying to police about being the victim of a hate crime, Jussie Smollett was sentenced to 150 days in prison. After fabricating false claims about the hoax attack, the former Empire star, 39, was convicted guilty of five counts of felony disorderly conduct in December. The punishment also includes 30 months of probation and restitution and fines totaling $145,000 (£110,000). "I did not do this!" Smollett exclaimed after the sentence. The case came from a three-year-old incident in which Smollett said he was attacked by two people. While walking late at night in January 2019, the actor, who is black and gay, alleged the attackers shouted racial slurs and a Trump slogan at him, dumped a "chemical substance" on him, and tied a noose around his neck. Authorities launched an investigation, but Smollett was charged with filing a fake police complaint in February of that year, stating he orchestrated the incident. Last year, a jury of si

On the day his club's long-term future was thrown into doubt, Chelsea beat bottom club Norwich thanks to Mason Mount's goals and assists. Following the announcement that Chelsea's Russian owner, Roman Abramovich, had been sanctioned by the UK government, travelling fans at Carrow Road screamed his name. Chelsea's players responded on the pitch to one of the most dramatic days in the club's 117-year history by surging into a 2-0 lead inside the first 15 minutes on their route to a fourth consecutive league triumph. Trevoh Chalobah scored after connecting Mason Mount's corner in the third minute, before Kai Havertz set up England's Mount for his ninth goal of the season. When halftime, Norwich improved significantly, and Teemu Pukki gave his team hope with a penalty after Chalobah handled, but Havertz sealed the points for Chelsea with a late third. While Chelsea's hold on third place was reinforced by the win, Norwich remains five points adrift of safety

The UK government has sanctioned Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich as part of its response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He is one of seven oligarchs who have been sanctioned with new measures including as asset freezes and travel bans. Igor Sechin and Oleg Deripaska, both billionaires and Vladimir Putin's cronies, are also on the list. "There can be no safe havens" for individuals who supported the invasion, Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated. The government announced that it would give a special license that would allow fixtures to be fulfilled, employees to be paid, and current ticket holders to attend games. Ministers have been pressed to punish Mr Abramovich, who said earlier this month that he had made the "difficult decision" to sell Chelsea FC. The football club is one of the assets blocked as part of Mr Abramovich's punishment, and its sale has been put on hold. The government may consider granting Mr. Abramovich a special license to sell th

Boris Johnson praised the United Kingdom's reaction to the refugee issue, claiming that a new scheme will allow Britons to accept Ukrainians into their homes. He told Sky News that the United Kingdom would be "kind" to individuals fleeing Ukraine, and that details of a new immigration program would be announced on Monday. "People want us to be kind but also cautious," the PM remarked, defending the current immigration requirements. The United Kingdom has been chastised for only taking in roughly 1,000 refugees so far. Unlike the European Union, which allows Ukrainians to stay for three years without a visa, the UK maintains immigration restrictions. 1.4 million refugees have already been accepted by Poland. There are two major ways for Ukrainian war refugees to obtain a visa to enter the UK. The first condition is that they have family in the United Kingdom. The second, which has yet to be formed, permits Ukrainians to enter the UK if they have an individual or

When Guy Raffitt's son Jackson testified against him in court, he sobbed. Guy Reffitt had to face not only a court and jury, but also his own son on the witness stand when he became the first person to stand trial for storming the US Capitol. Reffitt is a big talker, according to those who know him. So much so that Reffitt's defense lawyer used it as the main reason for dismissing the case against him, who was charged with bringing a firearm to the US Capitol during the disturbance on January 6th. However, it was the sheer number of evidence - detailed in messages, videos, and audio - that persuaded jurors of his guilt in a unanimous conviction on Tuesday after less than four hours of discussion. On June 8, he will be sentenced for five felonies, including impeding a congressional official proceeding, trespassing at the Capitol while carrying a holstered semiautomatic weapon, interfering with police in a riot, and witness tampering. Reffitt's conviction stems from a massive

A heroic father tossed his three-year-old son from a blazing building's second story. The toddler was caught by first responders on the ground, followed by his father, who had to jump to safety as well. Both are in good health and have only minor injuries. The fire started in an apartment on the third floor of the apartment complex in New Jersey and quickly spread throughout the structure. The fire forced fifty individuals to flee their homes. Around 8:15 a.m. on Monday, a three-alarm fire broke out on the second and third floors of the South Ridge Woods Apartment Complex. Eight fire crews were dispatched to the area and were able to put out the fire before searching the structure. The fire displaced around 50 people, according to Monmouth Junction Fire Chief Scott Smith, but it might have been worse. "We were immediately confronted with really strong fire conditions, as well as reports of persons remaining inside," Smith said Monday. "All of the residents were fortu

Kamala Harris, the US Vice President, has left for Poland and Romania, providing her the opportunity to personally talk with Polish leaders on the topic of fighter jet shipments to Ukraine. The subject has revealed divisions within the Nato alliance. Poland's offer to give the US with MiG-29 fighter jets as a step toward transferring them to Ukraine was rejected by American officials on Tuesday as "not tenable." On Wednesday afternoon, US Defense Department spokesman John Kirby went even farther, warning that such a transfer posed a "high risk" of a Russian retaliation that might result in a military escalation with Nato. "We believe that adding aircraft to the Ukrainian inventory will have little impact on the Ukrainian Air Force's efficacy in comparison to Russian capabilities," he continued. A German government official dismissed the Polish idea as "not currently on the table," according to the statement. Officials from the United Stat

The White House has stated that Russia may be contemplating a chemical or biological weapon assault in Ukraine, and that "we should all be on the lookout." Russia's accusations regarding US biological weapon facilities and chemical weapon development in Ukraine, according to White House press secretary Jen Psaki, are absurd. The bogus charges, she said, were a "obvious effort" to justify more deliberate, unjustified attacks. It comes following similar fears from Western officials about new assaults. They expressed "grave concern" about the likelihood of the battle escalating, particularly if Russia used non-conventional weapons. Chemical weapons are most commonly in mind, but the word also encompasses tactical (small-scale) nuclear weapons, biological weapons, and dirty bombs. "We have reason to be alarmed," one Western diplomat remarked. They said this was partially due to what had happened in other areas where Russia had been involved, such

Despite being kept at home by a Sporting Lisbon side bent on limiting the damage, Manchester City glided into the Champions League quarter-finals. City's 5-0 triumph in the first leg in Lisbon last month had virtually ended the tie, and it was evident from the start that the Portuguese had no chance of making an extraordinary comeback. They stacked their defense, possibly fearful of suffering yet another humiliating defeat, leaving Pep Guardiola's side in complete control of the ball but unable to create significant chances. Before the break, Raheem Sterling squandered City's best chance when he sprinted on to Phil Foden's pass and attempted to dink the ball over Antonio Adan but failed to gain enough height on his shot. At the opening of the second half, Gabriel Jesus scored for the home side, but a VAR review determined he was offside from Riyad Mahrez's pass, and the goal was disallowed. Despite failing to score, City were in perfect control, and Guardiola was at
