R&B singer R Kelly has been convicted of several child pornography and sex abuse charges

Kelly is guilty on three of four of the pornography charges and three of five sex abuse counts.

The decision follows jurors deliberating for 10 hours over two days, after sitting through a three week hearing.

One woman testified she was sexually abused by Kelly, and says the singer recorded the interactions when she was as young as 14 years old.

In the closing rebuttal, the lead prosecutor said Kelly’s inner circle were focussed on doing everything the celebrity wanted as his fame skyrocketed.

The Assistant U.S. Attorney described videos of Kelly urinating on a girl.

She says, “that degrading act is forever captured on that video… who would do that?”

Kelly is already serving 30 years in jail.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
