Milwaukee (AFP) - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Thursday dramatically recounted his brush with death just days before, saying he survived "only by the grace of almighty God."

A New Mexico judge has brought a sudden and stunning end to the involuntary manslaughter case against actor Alec Baldwin, dismissing it in the middle of the trial and saying it cannot be filed again. Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case with prejudice based on the misconduct of police and prosecutors over the withholding of evidence from the defence in the 2021 shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film 'Rust'. "The late discovery of this evidence during trial has impeded the effective use of evidence in such a way that it has impacted the fundamental fairness o...
