 Spain seeks to join South Africa’s case at top UN court accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza Spain became on Thursday the first European country to ask a United Nations court for permission to join South Africa’s case accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza. South Africa filed its case with the International Court of Justice late last year. It alleged that Israel was breaching the genocide convention in its military assault that has laid waste to large swaths of Gaza. The court has ordered Israel to immediately halt its military offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah but stopped short of ordering a cease-fire for the enclave. Israel has not complied and shows no sign of doing so. "We take the decision because of the ongoing military operation in Gaza," Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares said in Madrid.

 Jelly Roll says his felonies prevent him from booking gigs overseas Jelly Roll revealed that his criminal record has prevented him from performing outside the United States. During a conversation with Jon Bon Jovi for Interview magazine, the 62-year-old rock icon praised the 39-year-old country star's "unique sound" and asked if he had "taken it overseas." "Not yet," Jelly Roll told Bon Jovi. "I’m so excited. We’re figuring out the final pieces of some legal puzzles for me to get overseas." He continued, "It’s funny, America has finally agreed to let me leave and give me a passport, but some countries won’t let me come because of my felonies. We’re working on that. I think it’s going to work in my favor." Bon Jovi expressed his hope that the two-time Grammy Award nominee would be able to tour internationally and criticized the rules that some countries have against allowing people with criminal records to cross their borders as ...

 NDIC to pay Heritage Bank depositors N650 billion this week The Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) announced plans to pay 2.3 million depositors of Heritage Bank approximately N650 billion starting this week.
