 Putin woos African leaders at showcase summit, says Russia is better partner than 'colonial' West President Vladimir Putin told African leaders ​on Wednesday that Russia was their best partner, accusing what he cast as a colonial West of still trying ‌to exploit the continent's resources and using debt to hold back development, Reuters reported.

 NFL to review Giants co-owner Steve Tisch’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein 

 The NFL said it will review New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein after his name appeared more than 400 times in documents released by the U.S. Justice Department.

Tisch, 76, acknowledged last week that he knew Epstein and that they “exchanged emails about adult women” and discussed movies, philanthropy, and investments. He denied ever visiting Epstein’s private island and was never charged in the investigation.

Epstein died by suicide in a New York jail cell in August 2019, a month after being indicted on federal sex trafficking charges.

The documents were released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a law requiring the government to make public records on Epstein and his former associate Ghislaine Maxwell following years of public and political pressure.
