Washington (AFP) - A lawyer and the family of a Black airman in the US Air Force who was shot dead last month by police in Florida called on Monday for the officer to face charges. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who has represented the families of other African American victims of police violence, welcomed the termination of the deputy but said he should face "full justice." "Full justice would be him being charged for the killing of senior airman Roger Fortson," Crump said at a press conference with Fortson's mother. "That's what his mother wants. That's what his family wants. They want ful...

Wilmington (United States) (AFP) - Jury selection begins Monday in the gun trial of Joe Biden's son Hunter, the first prosecution in US history for the child of a sitting president -- just as the Democratic leader seeks to accelerate his reelection campaign. The case comes on the heels of another unprecedented trial, in which White House hopeful Donald Trump became the first former US president convicted of a crime, and Republicans are keen to distract from their front-runner's legal woes. The 54-year-old Hunter Biden denies three felony counts stemming from his purchase of a .38-caliber Colt ...

Wilmington (États-Unis) (AFP) - C'est un épisode inédit et risqué pour la campagne du président américain Joe Biden: le procès pour détention illégale d'arme de son fils, Hunter, s'ouvre lundi devant un tribunal fédéral. Avec un passé semé d'addictions et d'anciennes affaires douteuses à l'étranger, Hunter Biden est l'une des cibles privilégiées des adversaires républicains de son père, à commencer par son prédécesseur Donald Trump, qui le considèrent comme le talon d'Achille de Joe Biden. L'ouverture de son procès intervient quelques jours après que M. Trump a été reconnu coupable de falsific...

United Nations (United States) (AFP) - Ignored by Russia and Israel, the International Court of Justice is hamstrung by a dysfunctional global system that sees countries comply with its rulings -- or not -- based on their own double standards, experts say. In 2022, the UN's highest court ordered Russia to halt its invasion of Ukraine, still underway two years later. In May, it ordered Israel to immediately halt its military offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, which is ongoing. Do these refusals to comply with legally binding decisions testify to a lack of credibility and legitimacy o...

Wilmington (United States) (AFP) - Joe Biden's son Hunter goes on trial Monday on gun charges, the first prosecution in US history for the child of a sitting president -- just as the Democratic leader is seeking to accelerate his campaign for reelection. The 54-year-old denies three felony counts stemming from his purchase of a .38-caliber Colt Cobra revolver in 2018 when, by his own admission, he was heavily addicted to drugs. The Yale-trained lawyer and lobbyist-turned-artist has been plagued by legal troubles and controversies that have been a drag on his father's campaign, mostly connected...

New York (AFP) - President Joe Biden branded Donald Trump "reckless" Friday after the Republican lashed out in rambling, angry comments at verdicts in New York making him the first former US president to become a convicted felon. The dramatic climax to Trump's hush money trial came five months before the November 5 election, when the tycoon hopes to unseat Biden and make a shocking return to power. Speaking in New York, Trump, 77, confirmed he would appeal the verdict, which he branded a "scam." He billed the event as a press conference but did not take questions, instead launching into an ext...
