US singer Chris Brown granted $6.7 million bail for world tour by UK court
Ammon News - U.S. singer Chris Brown was granted bail by a London court on Wednesday over a charge of serious assault after promising to pay a 5 million-pound ($6.7 million) security fee, clearing the way for his world tour to begin next month.
Brown has been charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm in what prosecutors said was an "unprovoked attack" on music producer Abraham Diaw with a tequila bottle in a London nightclub in 2023.
The 36-year-old has not yet been asked to enter a plea to the charge. He was not present at Southwark Crown Court when Judge Tony Baumgartner granted him bail.
The R&B star, a two-time Grammy Award winner known for hits such as "Loyal", "Run It" and "Under the Influence", is set to kick off his "Breezy Bowl XX" tour on June 8 in the Netherlands.

Two Palestinians killed as Israeli forces open fire near aid center in Rafah
Ammon News - Two Palestinians were killed and dozens injured early Saturday morning when Israeli occupation forces opened fire on civilians attempting to reach an aid distribution center near Al-Alam Roundabout, west of Rafah in southern Gaza. Medical and local sources reported that large numbers of people had gathered in hopes of receiving humanitarian assistance when Israeli gunfire erupted, causing multiple casualties. In a separate incident, emergency teams recovered the bodies of two Palestinians—Mohammed Ali Abu Hajras and Mohammed Eyad Jamil Abu Assi—who were killed in a previous Israeli airstrike targeting the town of Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis, also in southern Gaza. Israeli military attacks intensified across the region overnight, with warplanes and drones launching heavy strikes on eastern areas of Jabalia in the north of the Strip. Simultaneously, artillery shelling was reported in northeastern parts of the Jabalia refugee camp. WAFA

Beethoven's true face is revealed for first time in 200 years
Ammon News - The true face of Beethoven has been revealed almost 200 years after his death – and it's every bit as 'intimidating' as his reputation suggests. Despite his status as one of history's great composers, Beethoven is also remembered for his surly disposition and unkempt appearance. 'He was indeed irritable, untidy, clumsy, rude, and misanthropic,' wrote British composer Mark Wigglesworth in a blog post. It's a reputation often reflected in his portraits, which invariably depict him as an unsmiling man with an icy gaze. Now a scientific reconstruction of his face has revealed what he actually looked like – and it seems he really did look that grumpy. Cicero Moraes, lead author of the new study, has completed the first ever reconstruction of the composer's appearance based on his skull. 'I found the face somewhat intimidating,' he admitted. To complete the work, Mr Moraes used historical photographs of the musician's skull provided by the Beethoven House in Bonn, Germany. Along with the images, which were taken by Johann Batta Rottmayer in 1863, he used measurement data collected in 1888. He said: 'The facial approximation was guided solely by the skull. 'First I created 2D outlines – frontal and lateral – from the skull photographs. 'Then I modelled the skull in 3D using a virtual donor's tomography, adjusted to match the photos' proportions. 'I then added soft tissue thickness markers based on data from living Europeans, projected the nose, and traced the facial profile. 'I interpolated all these projections to form the basic face.' With the objective face complete, Mr Moraes added subjective features like clothes and hair, using as his guide a famous portrait of Beethoven painted in 1820 by Joseph Karl Stieler.
