- Inside Pakistan-controlled Kashmir where an internet blackout hides the truth | The World | ABC NEWS

- Description
- Between 40 and 90 people have been killed in cities in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir after protesters were allegedly fired on by security forces. The protests are led by the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC), an activist group calling for better political representation.
Demonstrations reignited in June after the JAAC tried to march from Rawalakot to Muzaffarabad. It is accusing the government of failing to follow through on an agreement the two sides signed last year.
The local government disagrees and has classified the JAAC as a terrorist organisation. It's also alleged protesters were armed and imposed an internet and mobile blackout.
The ABC is one of just a few news organisations that has managed to report from the ground.

- Luigi Mangione seeks dismissal of murder trial after guilty plea | ABC NEWS

- Description
- Luigi Mangione has admitted to fatally shooting a health insurance executive and pleaded guilty to two federal charges of stalking the executive with the intent to kill him.
The guilty plea will avert a federal trial in the closely watched case over the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
It could also allow Mangione, 28, to seek dismissal of state murder charges and delay an upcoming trial in that case.
Defence lawyer Karen Friedman Agnifilo denied there was a plea agreement with prosecutors, while New York attorney Jamie McDonald said the prosecution was free to seek the maximum penalty of life sentence.
Despite the accused’s explanation of his actions, New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said violence was not a just cause.
