 U.S announces visa curbs for some foreign nationals in South Africa Secretary of State Marco Rubio ‌said on Tuesday the U.S. government was announcing a new visa restriction ​policy targeting some foreign nationals ​in South Africa. The policy targets "foreign ⁠nationals who are responsible for, ​or complicit in, the enactment or ​implementation of laws or policies that enable uncompensated land seizures, race-based discrimination, and/or ​the incitement of imminent violence ​against members of minority ethnic or racial ‌groups ⁠in South Africa," Rubio said in a statement. "The South African government has not adequately addressed the ​previously laid ​out ⁠concerns," Rubio said, Reuters reported. Relations between Washington and Pretoria have ​soured since the start of ​Donald ⁠Trump's second term, with the U.S. president criticizing the country ⁠for ​its policies aimed at ​addressing racial inequality.

 2 Atlanta transit police officers wounded in shooting at downtown station

Two Atlanta transit police officers were shot after confronting a man who was urinating in a train station, authorities said.

MARTA Police Chief M. Scott Kreher told local media that officers tried to arrest the man late Thursday night at the Five Points station, a major downtown train hub, but he opened fire and then fled.

According to Kreher, the man became hostile and uncooperative when approached. As officers moved to detain him, he pulled out a handgun and fired over his shoulder, grazing a female officer in the knee and hitting a male officer in the arm.

The female officer has been released from the hospital but suffers from hearing loss due to her proximity to the gunfire. She is expected to make a full recovery. The male officer underwent surgery for his arm injury on Friday.

Surveillance footage shows the suspect boarding a train and traveling two stops south before discarding his gun on the roof of the West End station. Police have not released his identity but said the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force is actively searching for him. The weapon was recovered.

The Five Points station reopened Friday morning as train service resumed.
