Innocent African-American Released After Nearly 28 Years

A court in Saint Louis, Missouri, overturned Lamar Johnson's conviction on Tuesday. So the 50-year-old African-American spent nearly 28 years innocently behind bars for murder. American and English-language media write that. Johnson walked out of court a free man. "This is unbelievable," he said. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1994 for the murder of Marcus Boyd, an accusation he has consistently denied. Boyd was shot dead on Johnson's front porch by masked men. Johnson indicated several times that he was not home at the time of the attack. Saint Louis circuit attorney Kim Gardner filed a motion to secure Johnson's release in August after investigating with the nonprofit Innocence Project and believing the man was telling the truth. According to the judge who overtur...

The Canadian singer previously said on social media that it was "junk" what H&M was selling and that he had not agreed to its sale. He urged his followers not to buy the stuff.

Employees Rivian: Car Company Ignores Safety Rules

Dozens of employees of the American electric car maker Rivian accuse the company of ignoring safety rules.

According to the complaint filed, safety protocols at the company are fading as pressure on production mounts. "Production involves a certain amount of risk. But I would have expected safety to be given a little more priority," said Don Jacks...

Netflix Up Hard on Wall Street After Better-Than-Expected Figures

Netflix was worth more than 12 percent on the stock exchanges in New York on Wednesday. The streaming service gained many more subscribers in the past quarter than experts had expected. On the other hand, Netflix struggled with a contraction in the number of subscribers in the two previous quarters. Revenue and profit were also higher than analysts and investors had expected. As a result, JPMorgan analysts raised the recommendation for Netflix. However, the mood on Wall Street was somewhat hesitant after the strong recovery in recent days. Optimism about the better-than-expected quarterly figures of companies seems to be giving way again to concerns about high inflation. Investors fear that central banks worldwide will continue to raise interest rates sharply to contain the ongo...

Donald Trump Bragged With Classified Information About French President Macron

What was in the box taken by the FBI from former US President Donald Trump's residence, cryptically described on a legal document as "President of France info"? That is what people are asking these days in Paris and Washington, DC. According to American media, the file contains information about the sex life of French President Emmanuel Macron, and Trump liked to brag about it. According to two sources, Trump would have happily told intimates for years how he had juicy details about Macron's sex life, compiled based on information gathered by US intelligence. It is not clear what information is involved or whether it is information that is considered a state secret. Yet these days, there are reportedly feverish questions in both Paris and Washington D.C. about what informatio...
