A 21-year-old Virginia mother was arrested Thursday after allegedly drowning her 17-month-old twin boys in a bathtub in April.
Amaya Dixon is charged with two counts of felony murder and two counts of child neglect, according to a report from local outlet WRIC.
Richmond Police Department officers responded to a report of two injured children at a south-side apartment just before 8:40 p.m. local time on April 17.
When officers arrived, they found the twin boys suffering from what investigators described as “apparent drowning injuries,” the outlet reported.

The toddlers were taken to a local hospital for emergency medical treatment, according to WRIC. One boy was pronounced dead that same night, while his brother died days later.
Court documents obtained by the outlet show Dixon was facing criminal charges in neighboring Chesterfield County when her sons were killed.

The eight unrelated charges, stemming from December 2025, include two counts of grand larceny, credit card fraud, possession of stolen property with the intent to sell, and the financial exploitation of vulnerable adults.
It is unclear what led to the drowning, or whether anyone else was in the home during the incident.

Romanian gymnastics star Ana Barbosu has been provisionally suspended from her sport after missing three drug tests, the International Testing Agency (ITA) announced on Thursday.
Ana Barbosu, 19, committed “three whereabouts failures within a 12-month period,” the announcement said.
She will be taking the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), and she addressed the situation on social media.

“I wanted to share and clarify some information that has been circulating,” was posted on Barbosu’s Instagram story after the ITA announcement.
“As you can imagine, moving to the US and starting college (at Stanford within the last year) has been a big transition. Navigating through all the changes has been challenging, and I’m continuing to learn and grow through each experience. To be clear, this situation has nothing to do with prohibited substances, and I have been grateful for the guidance and support throughout the process.”

Barabosu was awarded the bronze medal in floor exercise at the 2024 Paris Olympics, after a highly controversial series of score changes and appeals.
Bărbosu believed she had won the medal after Chiles’ initial score was announced. But then a U.S. coach made an appeal, and Barbosu was holding a Romanian flag when she looked up and saw the scoring change that put Chiles ahead.
But then CAS ruled that the judging panel at the event had improperly granted an inquiry that increased Chiles’ score. It ruled that the appeal had been submitted past the one-minute deadline for inquiries and should not have been granted.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) later determined Chiles had to return the bronze medal she won in the Paris Olympics floor exercise after her score was improperly judged.

The worst golfers among us (*raises hand*) will take a decent shot any way they can get it, but sometimes the pros will take a friendly bounce too.
Even if it means plunking some poor cameraman in the noggin.
The Truist Championship is taking place this weekend at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, and on Saturday, Mackenzie Hughes was gearing up to let ‘er rip on the par-3 13th hole.

Hughes must have had some Wheaties for breakfast because he hit his tee shot long and straight for the gallery, where it smoked a cameraman — whose name we later learned is Gary — in the head.
But the wild part? It ended up being a pretty decent shot.
Fortunately, Gary was all right, and that must have been largely because — as mentioned by the commentators — he’s built like a brick outhouse.
I don’t think I could take a tee shot to the dome and still be walking around afterward, and I have no plans to find out whether or not that’s truly the case.
But what are the odds that, by standing there and taking one for the team, Gary turned what would have been a lousy tee shot into one that at least found the green?
The entire state was shaken by the horrific road accidents that took place in different districts of Odisha on Saturday. According to the information given by the police, five people lost their lives in these accidents that took place within the last 24 hours, while 31 people were seriously injured.

Truck wreaks havoc on overbridge
An uncontrolled truck hit two motorcycles and a scooter near Fire Station Chhak in Bhubaneswar on Saturday evening. In this accident, three people died on the spot. According to eyewitnesses, the collision was so severe that a woman’s head got separated from her body and fell on the road. At the time of the accident, these people were going from Shaheed Nagar towards Khandagiri. The truck driver has fled from the spot, the search for which is ongoing. After this incident, there was a long traffic jam on Kolkata-Chennai Highway.

The website for the popular JDownloader download manager was compromised earlier this week to distribute malicious Windows and Linux installers, with the Windows payload found deploying a Python-based remote access trojan.
The supply chain attack affects those who downloaded installers from the official website between May 6 and May 7, 2026 via the Windows “Download Alternative Installer” links or the Linux shell installer.
According to the developers, the attackers modified the website’s download links to point to malicious third-party payloads rather than legitimate installers.
JDownloader is a widely used free download management application that supports automated downloads from file-hosting services, video sites, and premium link generators. The software has been available for more than a decade and is used by millions worldwide across Windows, Linux, and macOS.
The JDownloader supply chain attack
The compromise was first reported on Reddit by a user named “PrinceOfNightSky,” who noticed that downloaded installers were being flagged by Microsoft Defender.
“I been using Jdownloader and switched to a new PC a few weeks ago. Luckily I had the installer in a usb drive but decided to download the latest version,” posted PrinceOfNightSky to Reddit.
“The website is official but all the Exes for windows are being reported as malicious software by windows and the developer is being listed as ‘Zipline LLC.’ And other times it’s saying ‘The Water Team’ The software is obviously by Appwork and I have to manually unblock it from windows to run it which I will not do.”
The JDownloader developers later confirmed that the site had been compromised and took the website offline to investigate the incident.
In an incident report, the devs said their website was compromised by attackers exploiting an unpatched vulnerability that allowed them to change website access control lists and content without authentication.
“Changes were made through the website’s content management system, affecting published pages and links,” reads the incident report.
“The attacker did not gain access to the underlying server stack — in particular no access to the host filesystem or broader operating-system-level control beyond CMS-managed web content.”
The developers stated that the compromise affected only the alternative Windows installer download links and the Linux shell installer link. In-app updates, macOS downloads, Flatpak, Winget, Snap packages, and the main JDownloader JAR package were not modified.
The developers also said that users can confirm if an installer is legitimate by right-clicking the file, selecting Properties, and then clicking the Digital Signatures tab.
If Digital Signatures shows it was signed by “AppWork GmbH,” then it is legitimate. However, if the file is not signed or is by a different name, it should be avoided.
Signed legitimate JDownloader installer Source: BleepingComputer
The JDownloader team said that analyzing the malicious payloads was “out of our scope,” but shared an archive of the malicious installers so that others could analyze them.
Cybersecurity researcher Thomas Klemenc analyzed the malicious Windows executables and shared indicators of compromise (IOCs) for the malware.
According to Klemenc, the malware acts as a loader that deploys a heavily obfuscated Python-based RAT.
Klemenc said the Python payload acts as a modular bot and RAT framework, allowing attackers to execute Python code delivered from the command and control (C2) servers.
The researcher also shared two command and control servers used by the malware:
BleepingComputer’s analysis of the modified Linux shell installer found malicious code injected into the script that downloads an archive from ‘checkinnhotels[.]com’ disguised as an SVG file.
Malicious code in the modified JDownloader Linux installer Source: BleepingComputer
Once downloaded, the script extracts two ELF binaries named ‘pkg` and `systemd-exec` and then installs ‘systemd-exec’ as a SUID-root binary in ‘/usr/bin/’.
The installer then copied the main payload to ‘/root/.local/share/.pkg’, created a persistence script in ‘/etc/profile.d/systemd.sh’, and launched the malware while masquerading as ‘/usr/libexec/upowerd`.
The ‘pkg’ payload is also heavily obfuscated using Pyarmor, so it is unclear what functionality it performs.
JDownloader says users are only at risk if they downloaded and executed the affected installers while the site was compromised.
As arbitrary code could have been executed by the malware on infected devices, those who installed the malicious installers are advised to reinstall their operating systems.
It is also possible that credentials were compromised on devices, so it is strongly advised to reset passwords after cleaning the devices.
Hackers have increasingly targeted the websites of popular software tools this year to distribute malware to unsuspecting users.
In April, hackers compromised the CPUID website to change download links that served malicious executables for the popular CPU-Z and HWMonitor tools.

UN condemns confrontation in occupied West Bank as ‘appalling and emblematic of the dehumanisation of Palestinians’.
Published On 9 May 20269 May 2026
A Palestinian family in the occupied West Bank has been forced by Israeli settlers, reportedly under military protection, to dig up their father’s grave and rebury him, which the United Nations is condemning as “appalling and dehumanising”.
Eighty-year-old Hussein Asasa died of natural causes on Friday and was buried shortly after in a cemetery in Asasa village near Jenin.

His son, Mohammed, said the burial had been coordinated in advance with Israeli security forces, which provided all necessary permits.
However, shortly after the burial, settlers threatened the Asasa family, ordering them to exhume the body, claiming it had been buried on land that formed part of an Israeli settlement. Under international law, such settlements are considered illegal and are not recognised as Israeli territory.
“They said the land was for settlement and that burial was not allowed. We told them that this is the village’s cemetery, not part of the settlement,” Mohammed Asasa said.
The family was left with no choice but to comply with the settlers’ demands after they threatened to use a bulldozer to exhume the body themselves.
According to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, Israeli soldiers were present during the confrontation and also pressured the family to bury their loved one elsewhere.
“We found that they [the settlers] already dug the grave and reached the body,” Asasa said.
“We continued digging and got the body and buried him in another cemetery.”
The Israeli military has denied giving reburial instructions to the family, saying soldiers were sent to the area after receiving reports of a confrontation involving settlers. The military said soldiers confiscated digging tools from the settlers and remained at the scene to “prevent further friction”.
The UN Human Rights Office condemned what happened.
“This is appalling and emblematic of the dehumanisation of Palestinians that we see unfolding across the OPT (Occupied Palestinian Territories). It spares no one, dead or alive,” said Ajith Sunghay, head of the OHCHR Palestinian office.
Rise in settler violence
Attacks by settlers have surged since Israel launched its genocidal war on Palestinians in Gaza in October 2023.
On Friday, settlers carried out several attacks across the occupied West Bank, attacking a child while setting homes and cars ablaze.
In February, Amnesty International warned that global impunity was fuelling Israel’s illegal annexation of the occupied West Bank – territory considered crucial for any future Palestinian state.
The human rights organisation accused Israel of “brazenly” expanding its illegal settlements.

A lemon-lime soda that was once a mainstay on shelves across the country is now a hard-to-find specialty item that commands a cult following.
A decade before 7UP was released, Bubble Up debuted in 1919. The citrusy soft drink has stood the test of time as fans go out of their way for its more natural ingredients and throwback packaging that includes glass bottles.
Known for its “kiss of lemon, kiss of lime” slogan, Bubble Up was distributed by the Coca-Cola bottler network before Sprite came along.

There were some hiccups for Bubble Up along the way, however. The company changed ownership several times, struggled with distribution and fell into bankruptcy.
The makers of Dad’s Root Beer acquired the company in 2007 and produces Bubble Up in limited quantities today.
Bubble Up has a more natural taste than many of its competitors because it’s made with pure cane sugar and lemon and lime oils, rather than high-fructose corn syrup and artificial flavors, The Tasting Table reported.

“I love Bubble Up,” wrote one reviewer on BeveragesDirect.com. “Been drinking it since the early 1950s. My drink.”
The premium soda – which can fetch up to $3.49 for a single 12-ounce bottle – is available at some grocery stores, including Albertsons, online through Amazon and at specialty soda shops.
