Donald Trump is guilty! Specifically, on 34 felony charges of falsifying business documents to cover up an alleged affair with porn performer Stormy Daniels right before the 2016 election.

The trial was already historic as the first criminal trial of any president, but it is extra significant as, A.) It's likely only one of Trump's four criminal trials that will go to a jury pre-election, and B.) He was found guilty.

Now, cameras were not allowed in the courtroom while the verdicts were read. Instead, this is the first photo uploaded to Getty of Trump arriving to speak to the press following his conviction.

CNN wrote of that moment in the courtroom, "Trump stared straight ahead during the verdict reading and when the acquittal motion was denied. Frowning, the former president grabbed his son Eric's hand and shook it rapidly, before starting to walk out of the courtroom. Trump was red in the face, and both father and son looked upset." So the mental image will have to suffice for that one.

Personally, I recommend looking for the glare of Trump's lawyer Todd Blanche as it burns through the screen.

Indeed, the tone of the images oscillates somewhere between rage and defeat.

He left the Manhattan courthouse on a street sectioned off from the public. I know this not because I am a reporter, but because it was a nightmare getting an Uber after my courthouse wedding two weeks ago.

He appeared in higher spirits upon returning to Trump Tower, where he mouthed, "Thank you" — despite some of the crowd reportedly chanting, "Lock him up!"

Let's end on a classic, eh?

Eight months of war have destroyed more than 55% of the structures in Gaza, according to the latest report from the UN Satellite Centre. The enclave's main towns have been devastated by Israeli bombardment, rendering them almost uninhabitable. The destruction has been called an example of “urbicide” – the deliberate, utter destruction of an urban area. "All the houses have been turned into ruins. We're lost, we don't know exactly where our homes are in the midst of this massive destruction," sai

South Korean LGBT couples want to help boost low birth rate
STORY: South Koreans Kim Eun-ha and Park Cho-hyeon want to get married and have children.It’s a plan that fits in with the government’s ambition to boost the country’s birth rates - which currently stand as the world’s lowest. But same-sex marriage is illegal in South Korea. And doctors refuse to perform artificial insemination on women without a male partner.:: File:: Kim Eun-ha “People who oppose LGBT couples say our relationship is a sin. And with the low birth rate, it is also another sin that we aren't having children. However, I think it is a bit ironic as we're in a situation where we're not allowed to have children even if we want to.”The couple plan to go to Australia to get married – even though the South Korean government will not recognize their union. :: FileEfforts to legalize same-sex marriage have been successful in Taiwan and Thailand. But not in South Korea. The LGBT community there faces strong opposition from conservative religious groups, which have mounted fierce resistance to efforts to pass anti-discrimination laws.Kim and Park, who live together with their dog Whipping, have started a YouTube channel to raise awareness about LGBT issues. But Park says acceptance of sexual minorities is very low in South Korea.:: Park Cho-hyeon “From the extreme comments we receive on our YouTube channel, we can see how prevalent negative perceptions of LGBTQ people are and how many people are hiding their true identities. Therefore, I think the awareness and acceptance of sexual minorities, LGBTQ, in our country is really, really low.”:: June 1, 2024Kim Ji-hak heads non-profit organization Diversity Korea.He says the government should acknowledge diversity if it is serious about increasing the birthrate.:: Kim Ji-hak, Director of Diversity Korea“I believe that the state and government should create an environment where everyone, regardless of their family structure, can live with dignity, without the need to form a conventional family model. If we become a society where people don't have to worry about healthcare, education, labor and ageing, everyone will want to have more children."South Korea has spent billions of dollars to try to stop its population from shrinking.Concerns about career advancement and the financial cost of raising children drive many women to delay childbirth or not have children at all. Despite these efforts, the population declined for a fourth straight year in 2023.Kim and Park say the lack of recognition for LGBT unions is the biggest obstacle to boosting the country's birth rate.“We actually want to have children, but in South Korea, there are no policies to support us to have children. In fact, we are being prevented from having them. Additionally, society looks down on us for wanting to have children, which is quite disappointing.”

The unsettling resurgence of hunger cries out for global action – our very social fabric is at stake
Hunger is making a comeback. The UN estimates that almost 300 million people are acutely food insecure, nearly double the number at the start of the decade. Updates about the looming threat of famine in Gaza and Sudan, horrific pictures of malnourished children, and ever-more desperate humanitarian funding appeals commonly intrude into our social media feeds. It is hard to think that only a decade ago, hunger was on the decline, and that the world’s governments even committed to eliminating it b
