"Violent clashes have erupted across Indonesia, boiling into the biggest test of Prabowo Subianto's 10-month presidency, with at least four people killed in separate incidents. Southeast Asia's biggest economy has been simmering with discontent in recent weeks over economic issues such as financial perks for lawmakers, but a motorcycle gig driver's death sparked widespread protests.During that protest, a black tactical van from the Mobile Brigade Corps (Brimob) paramilitary unit ran over and killed 21-year-old driver Affan Kurniawan.
The footage went viral and stoked further anger over police tactics.
Protests escalated after Affan's death, with rallies starting in cities across the country.
Thousands, many of them "ojek" motorcycle drivers like Affan, protested in front of the Brimob headquarters and the police office in Jakarta.
Protesters hurled firecrackers, Molotov cocktails and rocks, while others started fires.
Protests also began in cities such as Yogyakarta, Bandung, Solo and Semarang in Java, and in Medan in Sumatra." IF
"Former Ukrainian parliamentary speaker Andriy Parubiy - a prominent voice on the hardline Ukrainian right - was shot and killed in the western city of Lviv on Saturday, grabbingheadlines in Ukraine and internationally, and resulting in an urgent manhunt for the assailant. He had been walking casually near his home on a sidewalk when he was executed in the street.
The country's Prosecutor General’s Office described Parubiy was fatally shot multiple times by an unidentified gunman who quickly fled the scene. It appeared to be a professional hit or assassination, given authorities described a gunman dressed as a courier on an e-bike as the killer. The assassin never removes his helmet during the attack from behind.
The 54-year old Parubiy served as speaker of Ukraine’s parliament from April 2016 to August 2019 and was a prominent figure and organizer of 2014 Euromaidan protests (or Maidan coup) and anti-Russian/pro-EU coup events which ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, and in many ways led to the current Russia-Ukraine war."

Nevada has experienced a surge in seismic activity over the past five hours.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) recorded seven earthquakes, the strongest a 3.6-magnitude tremor that struck at 5:44am ET.The epicenter was Valmy, a small town located along several active fault lines, including the Fairview Peak-Dixie Valley Fault Scarps, the Central Nevada Seismic Belt and the Pleasant Valley Fault, which is capable of producing a quake up to magnitude 7.7.
The swarm was likely driven by tectonic forces along the fault systems of the Basin and Range Province.
NASA explained: 'The Earth's crust in the Basin and Range Province is gradually expanding, cracking into hundreds of faults as it thins." msn
