ABUJA, Nigeria—She was so young and daring, and a thorn in the side of ISIS-backed terrorists and bandits in north-central Nigeria. Her profile was rising fast and in her already extraordinary career she’d broken through the military glass ceiling. But the life of Tolulope Arotile, Nigeria’s first-ever female combat helicopter pilot, was cut short on July 14 when she died in a strange and sudden accident. According to the Nigeria Air Force (NAF), Arotile was “inadvertently hit by the reversing vehicle of an excited former Air Force secondary school classmate while trying to greet her” inside the NAF base in the […]
by Fabio Giuseppe Carlo Carisio for VT Europe VERSIONE ORIGINALE IN ITALIANO «We must find ourselves prepared to handle a second wave of infections, which, however, if it ever happens, I don’t think will have the size and scope of the first. Predicting if and when there will be a second wave is a fortune teller’s exercise rather than a scientist’s exercise, but it is possible that with the return of the colder months, in late autumn or winter, there may be a recovery because the virus still circulates in many countries the world, as we see from the data of […]
Derek Chauvin and Floyd worked security at the El Nuevo Rodeo club, down the street from Minneapolis’ Third Precinct, according to Maya Santamaria, the club’s former owner who sold the venue within the last few months.

Chauvin served as an off-duty police officer for the club for almost 17 years. “I wouldn’t characterize them as knowing each other,” Santamaria told CNN’s Josh Campbell in an interview. “We did all work together at the […]

More than 70,000 crypto-related suspicious activity reports (SARs) have been filed since 2013, but the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has issued a stark warning that some offshore companies may not be doing enough to stamp out illicit behavior. Speaking at CoinDesk’s Consensus: Distributed virtual conference on Wednesday, FinCEN Director Kenneth Blanco said that around half of these reports were submitted by crypto companies themselves, allowing FinCEN to build a better map of IP and wallet addresses that are linked to potential criminals. Still, the figure represents just 1.4% of the more than 4.9 million reports FinCEN received overall between 2014 […]
