The US Justice Department announced they've indicted two Chinese drug traffickers who have been using the internet to sell and distribute the synthetic opioid, fentanyl, and its analogues to dealers and customers in the US.

The two men, identified as Jian Zhang and Xiaobing Yan, were indicted by grand juries in the Southern District of Mississippi and the District of North Dakota for "separate conspiracies to distribute large quantities of fentanyl and fentanyl analogues into the United States."

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid pain medication, 50 time more potent than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. It has been linked to a rash of overdose deaths across the US.

Genetic tests have confirmed that the DNA of two cops was found on the Brooklyn teen who accused them of handcuffing her and raping her in a police van, according to sources close to the investigation.

"DNA samples taken from both suspects came back as a match when compared to the rape kits," a law enforcement source said.

The 18-year-old, who goes by Anna Chambers on social media, claims two plainclothes officers found prescription drugs in her car during a Sept. 15 traffic stop, and then cuffed her and took her into an unmarked police van, where one raped her and both forced her to perform oral sex on them in exchange for her freedom.

"You'll spend three hours in the precinct. This is what you're going to do for us, and we'll let you go," they allegedly told her, according to her lawyer, Michael David.

Far be it from us here at TFTP to blame someone for having a panic attack. They come on without warning, last for minutes and sometimes hours on end, and are terrifying for those who are experiencing it. But when the person having a panic attack is a police officer, and he discharges his weapon in the middle of the attack, and then his department blames innocent citizens, we must address the story head-on.

Deputy Justin Johnson is a Sevier County Sheriff's Office deputy. Johnson was called by paramedics to a Sevier mobile home park where Brian Keith Mullinax, 41, and his girlfriend, Tina Carrie Jo Cody, 37, live. Cody's mother, Robin Sutton is their landlord. Sutton lives in one mobile home while the couple lives in another. Sutton claimed her daughter and her boyfriend stole her purse. Johnson was called to investigate.

Upon arrival, the officer approaches Cody and gives her two conflicting commands, "Walk over here!" and "Don't move!" Apparently not knowing what to do, she took off running. Johnson chased her down, grabbed her by the shirt, and threw her to the ground. His breath can be heard on his body camera. He was breathing heavily and may have been struggling to catch his breath. Cody said her mom told her to run. She later told the officer she just got out of a mental health facility.

An Australian journalist who interviewed Hillary Clinton as part of her book promotion tour admitted she gave the failed presidential candidate an easy ride because "she's been through enough."

Sarah Ferguson, an employee of the state-funded Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), met Mrs. Clinton in New York to cover the newly-released book What Happened. In the course of their friendly discussion, the two covered a wide range of issues including the current state of U.S. politics and President Donald Trump's performance.

Ferguson also allowed Mrs. Clinton to vent about the forces she says blocked her gilded path to the White House - not just presidential rival Donald Trump, but Vladimir Putin and Julian Assange's WikiLeaks.

When asked about her silence before the angry, bewildered Mrs. Clinton, Ferguson made the startling admission that she took pity on her subject.

"I reckon she's been through enough," she said on WSFM when challenged on whether the pair discussed Bill Clinton's infidelity. "You know it's a very interesting relationship. It's a very interesting marriage, but I don't think every time she sits in a chair she needs to be asked about her husband."

Anti-Trump propaganda leaflets have been found strewn across the South Korean capital, including near the presidential residence. Reportedly blown in from North Korea, the colorful flyers depict the US leader as "a mad dog," and wish gruesome death to the "old lunatic."

One of the flyers depicts Donald Trump as a dog with a human face, standing behind a podium with "UN 2017" written on it. The caricature holds a bomb in its mouth, which is inscribed with the words: "Totally destroy North Korea," according to Reuters.

"Will kill 25,000,000 people in North Korea," the 'mad dog' says, while two men in suits, reminiscent of Japan's Shinzo Abe and the South Korea's Moon Jae-in, comment: "He's gone completely insane" and "If we let him be, there will be war." The leaflet apparently alludes to Trump's address at the UN last month, in which he threatened Pyongyang with total destruction in the event of an attack on the US or its allies.

"Death to old lunatic Trump!" declares another flyer that depicts a furious North Korean soldier, stamping on what apparently portrays the US President's head in blood. "Complete obliteration," the caption reads.

As they did on July 30 Chavismo has won again in Venezuela, and they won for several indisputable reasons. The first because the elections occurred in a context of absolute peace, without any incidents. Secondly because the vote was massive, the brave pueblo came out again to vote, as it did in July 30 when voted for the Constituent National Assembly. In a country where voting is not mandatory, 61.4 % of the people exercised their electoral rights. The official result is unforgiving for those who bet on the demise of Chavismo: 17 governorships out of 22 were won by the PSUV, and maybe one more in the State of Bolivar.

In addition, it is an even greater defeat for those who a few days ago were betting on violence because of the strategic victory for the forces of Chavez in the state of Miranda.

This is not a miracle, but instead it is the best demonstration of the civic consciousness and revolutionary ideology that has developed in the people of Chavez and Maduro, those women and men who defeated the violence with their mobilization in the streets and through the ballot box. Participatory democracy is an invincible weapon for them, and they have known how to use it in the toughest of moments as they continue building the Bolivarian Revolution.

A natural disaster could put at risk the cooling systems of almost 30 nuclear reactors at 12 nuclear sites in France, according to the Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN).

On Monday, the ASN said that 20 nuclear reactors at 8 nuclear plants operated by EDF are potentially at risk of a "total loss of the heat sink," which is classified as 'level 2' according to the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES). Another nine reactors at four nuclear sites are at "risk of partial loss," which is 'level 0' according to the INES. The scale has 7 levels that describe the safety significance of nuclear and radiological events, with the highest level classified as a 'major accident,' and events from levels 1 to 3 classified as 'incidents.' Events without any safety significance are rated as Below Scale/Level 0.

The French company EDF, which operates the country's nuclear reactors, said earlier that 20 reactors might not be able to withstand earthquakes, which could cause a collapse of their cooling systems, and nine reactors' cooling systems could also be at risk.

The ASN said that thickness measurements of pipeline systems at the Belleville Nuclear Power Plant in May and June 2017 revealed the metal is too thin to resist an earthquake. After discovering the vulnerabilities, "a thickness measurement campaign" was carried out by EDF at potentially at risk nuclear facilities.

A German court has found Ursula Haverbeck, also known as 'Nazi Grandma', guilty of inciting hatred by saying that Holocaust is fiction and there were no gas chambers in the Auschwitz concentration camp. The octogenarian was handed a six-month jail sentence.

Haverbeck, a notoriously fervent denier of the mass killings of Jews during Holocaust, received yet another conviction, this time for claiming at an event in Berlin in January last year that Holocaust did not happen and nobody was gassed in the infamous death camp in Auschwitz, that claimed lives of 1.1 million people between 1940 and 1945, mostly Jews.

Haverbeck who pleaded not guilty, alleged that she was citing from a book when speaking at the event. However, upon studying the half-a-minute footage, the court determined that it "was her own speech" and found her guilty. Her lawyer's argument that prosecuting her violates Haverbeck's right to free speech, failed to score any points with the judge. Moreover, while on trial, the accused repeated the statement, Der Spiegel reports.

An author for Neo-Nazi magazines, Haverbeck has never minced words in expressing her more-than-controversial beliefs no matter the consequences.

US forces in Afghanistan allegedly shot at and injured two children in eastern Afghanistan after their classmates threw stones at US military vehicles.

Two of the eight pupils at a school on the outskirts of the city of Jalalabad in the Nangarhar Province were injured in the alleged shooting, its head teacher told RT's Ruptly news agency.

Saying that the incident happened at 7:00 Monday morning, the man explained that he "was standing at the main gate of the school where the pupils enter."

The photograph on the college website shows a confident, happy, young African-American woman using a bullhorn to address more than a hundred overwhelmingly white students holding protest signs. It was taken at a Black Lives Matter protest at Reed College, my alma mater, in September 2016. It was a beautiful day in Portland, Oregon, and the students were parading through campus, accompanied by drums and anything else that could make a sound. One of the cardboard signs in the crowd behind her said: 'Brown People for Black Power.' Another said: '1 out of 2 black students at Reed do not graduate.'

The demonstration marked the beginning of a year-long series of confrontations that turned the historically leftist college inside out. The young woman in the photo was responsible for organising most of them. I'll call her Amanda, not her real name, because I don't want her to be hounded by right-wing trolls. At most schools, demonstrations tend to flare up once or twice a year during a visit from a controversial right-wing speaker. At Reed, Amanda managed to create protests that occurred three days a week for most of the academic year.

Before Amanda, the Black Lives Matter movement hadn't gained much traction at Reed. Although its students have been ranked as the most liberal in the Princeton Review's survey of the top 382 liberal-arts colleges, only about three per cent of the student population is black. The school has had a hard time attracting them, in spite of a 'fly-in' programme that distributes free airline tickets to prospective black students. But in September 2016, on the heels of a national debate on race, the school got behind the movement, letting demonstrators set up an afternoon rally in the quad and allowing sympathetic professors to cancel classes, hold extra sessions and adjust assignment deadlines.
