Ohio campus police officer in court over fatal shooting of African-American

Ex University of Cincinnati police officer Ray Tensing is being arraigned on murder charges related to the shooting death of Samuel DuBose- an African American who was pulled over for driving without a front license plate.

Ray Tensing claims he was forced to shoot the victim, because he feared for his life, but body camera pictures tell a different story.

The case comes amid months of national scruting of the treatment of African Americans at the hands of police.

Russia veto UN resolution on downed MH17 plane

A United Nations plan to set up an ad hoc tribunal designed to punish
those responsible for the downing of flight MH17 has been blocked by
the UN Security Council.

298 people were on board the Malaysian Airlines flight that crashed
whilst flying over Ukraine in July last year killing all those

international peace and security.
