I'm on my way to the University of Benin to understand where all this violence began. The Black Axe formed here 40 years ago, and students are still being murdered on campus today. The Black Axe emerged out of a student fraternity known as the Neo-Black Movement of Africa, or NBM. The movement initially stood for peace, but over time became linked to crime.

The hearing was interrupted several times by protesters angry about the war in Gaza. Mr Hegseth has said before that women should not serve in combat roles and has claimed that mums should not be in the military. That prompted criticism from the Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.

When Pete Hegseth was first named as Donald Trump's choice to head the Pentagon, it seemed unlikely he would be approved by the Senate. But a concerted campaign of political pressure on Republicans by Mr Trump's allies means that despite all the controversies around him, he may well end up in charge of the whole of the American military.

While shocking, her experience is far from unusual in South Korea. In August, a survey via Teachers' Union found 2,492 cases where a member had been a victim of illegally manipulated images.

Teaming up with another teacher, Jihee worked out that there was only one desk in the classroom where the pictures could have been taken.

Teachers are often expected to continue doing their job after being victimized, even when the student responsible might still be in their classroom. Ga-eun has taken medical leave. If leave exceeds a week, teachers must undergo a review to have it recognized as officer's sick leave. Occasionally, requests are rejected, which means the complainant must use their annual leave instead.

Warm welcome for President Zelensky in London

There are tens of thousands of people here waving at a great sea of Romanian flags. They've marched through the center of Bucharest to Piazza Victoria in front of the Romanian government building. This is a pro-Calin Georgescu protest organized by a far-right or nationalist party called the Alliance for the Union of Romanians.

Global News Podcast

Warm welcome for President Zelensky in London

1118.274

The people here have come out as a show of solidarity with Kalin Georgescu. He's the 62-year-old agricultural engineer who came first in last November's presidential elections here in Romania. A very surprise victory for him there, just the first round. That was subsequently cancelled because of suspicions, allegations of Russian involvement. But Mr. Georgescu was detained briefly by police.

1144.913

He's been charged with trying to overthrow the constitutional order of Romania. His supporters say that those charges are ridiculous, that he's just an anti-globalist. And so they've really come out onto the streets in big numbers in Bucharest, come from all over the country to support him.

Global News Podcast

Warm welcome for President Zelensky in London

1172.316

He says he doesn't want to take Romania out of the European Union, which is very popular in some polls. What he stands for, though, he says that Romania does not have a voice, unlike, for example, Poland, which is another East European country, which is taken seriously in the EU and NATO. So basically, on one level, it's about respect for for Romania.

1194.05

It's also, though, about the war in neighboring Ukraine. He's spoken in the past of his admiration for the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. So it's not exactly a pro-Russian message, but it's much more pro-Russian than the position of many countries across Europe now.

I think he would stand a good chance of winning in May if he's allowed to stand. But I think many people in Romania believe he will not be allowed to put forward his candidacy.

Israel originally claimed troops opened fire because the convoy approached suspiciously in darkness without headlights or flashing lights.
