The United Nations has criticized a Yemeni detention center air strike that killed more than 70 people. On Friday, a facility in Saada, a stronghold of the Houthi rebel organization in northwestern Yemen, was attacked. The "escalation must cease," UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said in a statement. The Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthi rebels in Yemen denied carrying out the air strike in a statement on Saturday. The coalition further claimed that the site was not on a UN-approved list of targets to avoid, and that the Red Cross had not notified it. Since 2015, Saudi-led coalition forces have been fighting Houthi insurgents. As a direct result of the war, tens of thousands of civilians have been killed or injured, including over 10,000 children. Millions have been displaced, and a large portion of the population is on the verge of starvation. Rescue workers were still hauling dead out of the rubble hours after the air hit, and prospects of finding survivors are dimin

As Russia continued to build up its forces near the Ukraine border and planned new naval drills in the Black Sea, the US proposed to convene a summit between Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin as a last-ditch effort to avert a new conflict in Europe. Washington and its allies, according to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, are also prepared to react in writing next week to Russian demands on the future of Nato and European security, which Moscow has stated must be addressed to avoid it using "military actions." However, speaking in Geneva with his Russian colleague Sergei Lavrov, Blinken reiterated the US and Nato positions that no compromise on the key issue could be reached. The idea of a conference comes as a weeks-long deadlock over Ukraine teeters on the verge of a key and perhaps violent phase, raising fears that Europe could be engulfed in conflict once more. During the Geneva talks, Russia increased military pressure on Ukraine by announcing large naval exercises involv

In Minneapolis, a federal civil rights trial for three former US police officers charged with the death of George Floyd has commenced. Three ex-officers are facing federal civil rights charges, according to George Floyd. Senior officer Derek Chauvin was assisted by J Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane, and Tou Thao in detaining Mr Floyd for allegedly passing a counterfeit banknote. Before he died, Chauvin was caught on camera slamming his knee into the unarmed black man's neck for more than nine minutes. His death, which was seen on video by a bystander, sparked worldwide protests in 2020. Chauvin was convicted of murder in June of last year and is now serving time in a state prison. He avoided a second trial by pleading guilty to federal charges of breaching Mr Floyd's civil rights in December. The cops "wilfully violated" Mr Floyd of his civil liberties during the attempted arrest, according to federal prosecutors, who have presented a list of 48 witnesses they could call

A Met Police counter-terrorism detective was sentenced to three years in prison for secretly filming models during bogus photoshoots. In London, Brighton, and Manchester, Det Insp Neil Corbel committed his crimes in hotel rooms and Airbnbs. He filmed women with cameras hidden in tissue boxes, phone chargers, and glasses. One model's life had been "totally ruined," according to Isleworth Crown Court. The 40-year-old admitted to voyeurism on 19 charges. In a victim impact statement, the model revealed that she has bald spots as a result of tearing her hair out due to stress. Judge Martin Edmunds QC, in sentencing Corbel, referred to the impact statements he had heard, in which two more victims expressed their sorrow. Corbel's actions, he claimed, had "seriously eroded trust in the police." The officer, who was a diagnosed sex addict, claimed to be an airline pilot with a passion for photography, according to the court. He contacted many of his victims through

According to flight tracking firm FlightAware, the Wednesday jet turned around roughly an hour into its route. Another passenger, Steve Freeman, told Miami's Local 10 television that the woman was sitting in first class. "I was apprehensive since there was a lot of drinking involved. In first class, she sat behind us "he stated. "I could see the writing on the wall - they had given her plenty of warnings, so we were prepared." Passengers on the aircraft to Heathrow Airport in
