The Pentagon has proposed livestreaming the execution of Nidal Hasan, who was convicted of killing 13 people at Fort Hood in Texas in 2009.

Hasan, a former US Army major, is due to be executed by firing squad on December 3.

Survivors and victims' relatives oppose making it a public spectacle, saying a broadcast would not bring closure and could turn the killings into entertainment.

Some lawmakers also warn that a public execution could fuel radicalisation or give terrorist groups propaganda, while Homeland Security chief Markwayne Mullin says he sees no elevated security risk.

An oil and gas eruption began on September 25 at an oil site in eastern Niger, about 1,700 kilometres from the capital, Niamey.

The site is operated by CNPC Niger Petroleum, a local subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation, and the incident occurred at the Goumeri W8 well in the Agadem oil block.

Crude oil and gas have surged more than ten metres into the air, then spread across the surrounding land.

No one has died, but two workers were injured and taken to hospital.

Investigations say advisers to Roman Abramovich backdated documents to conceal assets and reduce tax bills.

The allegations involve the Russian billionaire’s Cyprus-based companies and Deloitte’s Cyprus office, which reviewed or signed off on some accounts.

Cyprus required companies to publish financial statements, so advisers allegedly made it appear that valuable assets and funds belonged to companies in the British Virgin Islands instead.

One company’s accounts showed about $672 million in assets before revised accounts listed just $75,000.

Apple has unveiled the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K, a streaming box for televisions, with a faster processor and new voice features.

The device uses an A19 chip that Apple says is 50% faster than the previous model’s processor, with twice the graphics performance.

Its three built-in microphones let users speak to Siri from across the room, and Siri AI can answer questions about what people are watching; its launch support in India is English only, with no Hindi.

The box also adds smart-home controls and lets users pair up to four compatible Apple speakers for surround sound.

Marvin Harrison Jr. has officially joined the Houston Texans after passing his physical on Monday.

The 24-year-old wide receiver was traded from the Arizona Cardinals, who selected him fourth overall in the 2024 draft.

Houston sent Arizona a 2027 second-round pick and a seventh-round pick, and received Harrison and a 2027 sixth-round pick.

Harrison reunites with quarterback C.J. Stroud, his former teammate at Ohio State.

Aaron Sorkin’s ‘The Social Reckoning’ opened to $5.5 million in US ticket sales over the weekend, far below expectations.

The film follows the 2010 hit ‘The Social Network,’ which opened with $22 million, and focuses on whistleblower Frances Haugen’s leaks about Facebook.

The new film received mixed-to-negative reviews, with a 55% Rotten Tomatoes rating and a B- CinemaScore from opening-weekend audiences.

Its weaker start may reflect both its darker subject and the absence of the original film’s director, David Fincher, and star Jesse Eisenberg.

The DEA has proposed emergency restrictions on four kratom-linked substances found in some concentrated products.

The proposal would place the substances in Schedule I, the federal category for drugs considered to have a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use in the United States.

Kratom comes from a tree native to Southeast Asia and is sold in the United States in products such as powders, capsules and liquids.

It is marketed for pain relief and other uses, but as an herbal supplement it does not face the same safety testing rules as prescription medicines.
