We start with that massive cyber attack.
A global hacking campaign targeted a number of us federal government agencies.
This attack reportedly occurred through the file transfer software. Move it
now the US Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security
Agency is stepping in to help the agency's executive
assistant director for Cyber Security said they are working
urgently to understand impacts and ensure timely remediation.
The government still has not said which specific agencies were
targeted and how exactly they may have been affected.
And in Greece,
11 people have reportedly been arrested in
connection to that capsized boat carrying migrants.
Survivors are saying there may have been up to
100 Children on the ship when it went under.
This is one of Europe's worst migrant disasters.
So far, at least 78 people have been confirmed dead.
That's according to some reports but the ship may
have been carrying as many as 750 people.
The boat capsized almost 15 nautical miles off the coast of Greece.
They managed to rescue 104 people but
a retired Greek Coast guard admirable says
the chances of finding more survivors are minimal.
The boat was heading to Italy from Libya when it went down.
A full investigation has been ordered to find out why this ship sunk
Coast Guard.
Experts believe however,
that the boat may have had engine trouble or ran out of fuel.
And the man accused of killing five people at a
Colorado Springs gay club may agree to a plea deal.
That's according to the associated press,
both authorities and defense attorneys have not responded
to requests for comment on this reported deal.
However,
several people who lost loved ones in this mass shooting say
they've been told Anderson Lee Aldridge will plead guilty
to charges that carry at least a life sentence.
The 23 year old suspected shooter said, quote,
I have to take responsibility for what happened.
Not only did five people die in this mass shooting but
17 others were injured when the shooter opened fire last November.
And this is a pretty morbid story. A grand jury indicted five people this week
for stealing and selling body parts that were donated to Harvard University.
Among those indicted was former Harvard Morgue employee Cedric
Lodge who worked at the university since 1995.
He was fired and his co defendants were accused of black market body parts scheme.
Now, Attorney Gerard
Karam said in a statement, quote,
the theft and trafficking of human remains strikes at
the very essence of what makes us human.
Two of Harvard's Deans issued a statement calling the situation
morally reprehensible
and in a 7 to 2 decision.
The Supreme Court agreed to preserve the 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act.
This act says that Native American families should have priority
in the adoption or fostering of Native American Children.
A white couple from Texas argued that the law was a form of racial discrimination.
While Native American leaders argued that the law helped protect their culture.
And in a tweet from the Native American Rights Fund,
they say the positive impact of today's decision will be felt across generations.
