Violent protests in Charlotte after ‘disabled, unarmed’ black man shot dead by police

While the cease-fire in Syria, drawn up by the US Secretary of State and his Russian counterpart, seemed to be holding – apart from the Israëli violations on the first day – the Pentagon attacked the Syrian Arab Army for the second time.
