Ousted Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi is expected to hear the verdict in her incitement trial on Tuesday – the first judgement from her many junta court cases that could see her jailed for decades

A Myanmar court is due to deliver the first verdicts against its former leader Aung San Suu Kyi

The leader was overthrown by the military in February, and is on trial for offences that carry a combined maximum jail sentence of more than 100 years.

The overthrown leader is on trial for nearly a dozen offences, including breaking a natural disaster law and violating COVID-19 protocols.

Suu Kyi faces three years in prison if found guilty of incitement against the military, although analysts say it is unlikely she will be taken away to jail on Tuesday.

The United Nations have condemned the indictments and demanded the her release.

A spokesperson for the Junta has previously said the former leader was being granted due process by an independent judiciary.

The court room remains off limits to the media and local reporters.

Those who died were not part of the three-person crew aboard the aircraft, which was heading to Honolulu.

Several people with serious injuries are receiving treatment at nearby hospitals.

The crash affected two businesses in proximity to the airport: Kentucky Petroleum Recycling and Grade A Auto Parts. Grade A Auto Parts confirmed most employees were accounted for, although uncertainty remains regarding customer safety.

Nearby, a Ford Motor assembly plant lost power but was not directly impacted by the crash.

Emergency services have worked to contain a fire resulting from the incident, which required a significant number of responders. UPS has not confirmed details regarding its crew’s condition. Photographs showed the MD-11 engulfed in flames at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport.

US stocks tumble as tech giants report uneven earnings, prompting fears of a looming market correction.

US stocks have taken a sharp dive as investors grow nervous about stretched valuations and uneven earnings reports from tech giants. Major Wall Street banks, including Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, are warning that the rally could be nearing a 10% correction – a wake-up call for traders betting on unstoppable market momentum.

Nvidia, the world’s most valuable public company, dropped nearly 4%, wiping out around $200 billion in market value. Meanwhile, Palantir slid 6%, dragging other AI and semiconductor names lower. Even gold — a traditional safe haven — dipped 1.6%, signaling widespread investor anxiety.

Bitcoin also broke below the $100,000 mark for the first time since June, underscoring how jittery markets have become. As earnings season unfolds and the US government shutdown looms, investors are questioning whether the bull run that lifted the S&P 35% since April has finally run out of steam.
