AI Summary:
A New York Court of Appeals judge issued a brief order on Thursday declining to grant a hearing to Trump’s legal team. That leaves the US Supreme Court as likely the president-elect’s last option to prevent a sentencing hearing from taking place as scheduled on Friday. Trump was found guilty in late May on 34 counts of falsifying business documents related to hush-money payments made to an adult film performer. In May, he became the first US president ever convicted of a crime. He has continued to reject any wrongdoing and says he is victim of political “witch hunt” Earlier this week, Trump’s lawyers asked the Supreme Court for an immediate stay of the sentencing.

AI Summary:
A group of 24 heavily armed men attacked the president’s office at 8:45pm on Wednesday. At least 19 people were killed. Businesses and schools opened as usual on Thursday. There was a more heightened security presence on the streets. The assault comes weeks after controversial parliamentary elections. At least six people have been arrested in connection with the attack. The landlocked Central African nation has long experienced instability in the form of rebel movements, armed groups, and coups d’etat. Experts describe government's decision to expel French troops as a way to gain support amid widespread anti-France sentiments in former West and Central African colonies. In May 2024, Deby swept the presidential polls, winning more than 60 percent of the vote to the anger of opposition groups that described the exercise as fraudulent. There are several conflicting theories about who might have been responsible for Wednesday’s attack. More than 50 people were killed, and more than 100 were injured. The aim is to track and neutralise hundreds of Boko Haram fighters who attacked and killed more than 40 Chadian troops in the Lake Chad Basin area on October 28. “There can be no dynastic devolution of power in our country,” the statement added. The late Deby seized power by deposing the dictator Hissene Habre. Analysts say Chad is likely to face more attacks like this one. Chad signed a deal with Hungary in October. French military personnel are in the process of being withdrawn after France fell out with three other Sahelian countries governed by military governments hostile to Paris. Ochieng said the fact that Chad was downplaying an attack by Boko Haram could mean some officials might want to blame an external actor.

M23 is the most prominent of the more than 100 armed groups vying for a foothold in the mineral-rich area. Last month it captured the towns of Katale and Masisi, the latter located 80 kilometers (49 miles) west of the regional capital, Goma. Congo accuses Rwanda of backing M23 and has repeatedly rejected Kagame's advice to negotiate. Rwandan authorities say the FDLR is embedded into the Congolese army.
