Nobel Peace laureate Navi Pillay urged the United States to defend human rights and return to what she called its traditional role as a global leader.

Pillay made her comments in The Hague, where she is a judge at the International Court of Justice.

The United States announced sanctions targeting the International Criminal Court hours after Pillay was named the Peace Prize winner.

She said the timing was troubling and showed that efforts to target international criminal justice had been developing for some time.

Federal agents searched the Washington home of Ilhan Omar, a Democratic member of Congress from Minnesota.

The Justice Department said the search was carried out under a court-authorised warrant as part of an ongoing criminal investigation, but did not name Omar or explain the investigation.

News reports linked the search to a fraud inquiry about immigration paperwork filed by Omar’s late father when she was a child; officials have not confirmed that link.

Omar, who came to the United States from Somalia as a child, said the search was an attempt to target political opponents.

A fire reached native vegetation at Fazenda Iporanga, a farm owned by Terra Santa in Nova Maringá, Mato Grosso.

The affected area is a legal reserve, not land currently leased for farming.

The company linked the increased fire risk to dry conditions, the effects of El Niño and forecasts for below-average rain.

Terra Santa said it detected the fire through satellite monitoring and called in firefighters, a specialist team and equipment to help contain it.

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

Kelly Clarkson says she had a bad shopping experience at Art of Play, a store in Brooklyn, New York.

She says she asked about buying a singing bird called Molly and an employee told her it cost $15,000, then offered to find something comparable.

The store says Molly is a one-of-a-kind bird automaton used in its magic shows, attached to a wall and not for sale.

Clarkson disputes that account and says the bird had a price tag beside it.

Yale researchers tested how food preferences affect learning in an experiment with 279 adults.

Participants chose four foods they strongly liked or disliked, then predicted whether each would earn positive or negative points.

The rules sometimes matched and sometimes reversed their preferences, so participants had to adjust as the task changed.

People made more accurate predictions when the rules agreed with their existing likes and dislikes.
