Bond set for man accused of attacking woman with baby
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Memphis man faced a judge Thursday after he was arrested for allegedly trying to strangle a woman while she was holding her infant son. Tranell Gant, 23, is now facing two serious charges, one of which is child abuse and or neglect. Gant is accused of punching and trying to choke a Memphis mother as she was sitting in her car on McMillan Street in South Memphis, while she held her 6-month-old son in her lap. The infant was not injured. Police said the incident was captured on a Facebook Live. MPD: Man charged after Facebook Live attack on woman with baby 'It's crazy for a male to be putting his hands on a female anyhow,' said neighborhood resident Johnvis Davis. 'Especially with a child in their hand, and infant baby, that's ridiculous.' Bond was set Thursday at $10,000. Gant told the judge he could pay the bond. The judge then told Gant that if he's able to bond out, he must stay away from the victims, and will also be required to wear a GPS ankle monitor. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

IBCAP releases 2025 Annual Report highlighting growth, legal wins and technology innovation
IBCAP Lab automation, membership expansion, notable lawsuits and sports rights protection victories underscore a year of progress in the Coalition's fight against piracy DENVER, May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The International Broadcaster Coalition Against Piracy (IBCAP) has released its 2025 Annual Report, touting the key advancements driven by IBCAP over the past year in addressing piracy worldwide. 'Since our last member meeting in May 2024, IBCAP has expanded its reach by developing proprietary automation software to detect and remove VOD content from pirate IPTV services and set-top boxes – a tool that greatly enhances our ability to remove pirated movies and series,' said Chris Kuelling, executive director of IBCAP. 'We also added DIRECTV, NHK and RAI as new members, bringing a major U.S. distributor, and the leading broadcasters from Japan and Italy to our growing coalition. In addition, our teams made major strides enhancing sports piracy enforcement and continuing to hold non-compliant service providers and hosting providers accountable through targeted legal action.' Report highlights include: Industry-Leading Advancements in Automation: IBCAP's engineering team has advanced its industry-leading tools to automate monitoring of STB and IPTV services and issue takedown notices. The latest development, a VOD-focused tool, automatically detects infringing content, captures evidence of U.S.-based violations and sends DMCA takedown notices to infringing services, CDNs and hosting companies, leading to the global removal of illegal streams. Looking ahead, IBCAP plans to offer this cutting-edge automation technology to non-members and other organizations to expand its impact across the industry and globally. Membership Expansion: New members, DIRECTV, NHK and RAI extend IBCAP's protection to focus on mainstream American content and the Japanese and Italian-language markets. Litigation against CDNs and Hosting Providers: IBCAP coordinated significant legal actions against hosting providers Virtual Systems and Innetra. These complaints followed a $3 million settlement with Datacamp Limited, which has led to increased compliance with IBCAP takedown notices and a measurable rise in pirate stream removal rates. Sports Piracy Enforcement: IBCAP continues to have an industry-leading deterrent and takedown effect on cricket piracy. During the IPL 2024 tournament, IBCAP disrupted 6,723 streams and more than 2.1 million views on Facebook Live streams worldwide. During the 2024 T20 Cricket World Cup tournament, the IBCAP lab removed 3783 streams and disrupted more than 1 million views on Facebook Live streams worldwide. Action Against Major Pirate Services: IBCAP coordinated the filing of a lawsuit in April 2025 against Lemo TV and Kemo IPTV. Related pirate services accounted for nearly 30% of all unauthorized streams detected on STB and IPTV services monitored by the IBCAP lab in the first quarter of 2025. The lawsuit seeks more than $25 million in statutory damages and a broad injunction to shut down this service. The IBCAP 2025 Annual Report can be found here.

MPD: Man charged after Facebook Live attack on woman with baby
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Memphis man was charged with child endangerment after he was caught on camera attacking a woman while she was holding a baby, police say. Tranell Gant, 23, was booked in the Shelby County Jail on Wednesday and is also facing a charge of aggravated assault. The victim told police she was sitting in a vehicle in the 1800 block of McMillan with their six-month-old child on her lap when Gant jumped into the driver's side and tried to strangle her. The woman said when she tried to fight back, Gant began punching her in the face. Police said the incident was captured on a Facebook Live and showed Gant enter the vehicle, and the victim fall over backwards as Gant got on top of her to choke her. It does not appear the baby was hurt during the incident. Gant is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Help break the stigma surrounding diabetes and save lives
Diabetes stigma might seem like a minor problem – people making bad jokes about getting diabetes, or acting weird around injections. But the reality is that South Africa has a huge diabetes stigma problem, and it's contributing to the fact that 1 in 2 South Africans with diabetes are undiagnosed. This, in turn, contributes to the reason why diabetes is the number one killer of women and number two killer of men in our country. It's time to change the face of diabetes, by showing that it doesn't just affect one kind of person. We can do this by bringing diabetes into the spotlight and by dispelling the myths and misinformation around it. Together, we can show that #DiabetesLooksLikeMe. Read – and share – more about diabetes on Sweetlife. Share the video, share the message: This video highlights the fact that every kind of person, regardless of age, gender, race or socio-economic background, can get diabetes. Play your part in spreading the message and breaking the stigma by sharing a selfie of yourself with the hashtag #DiabetesLooksLikeMe so that we can flood social media with images of all different kinds of people with diabetes. Share your story: Is there a stigma around living with diabetes? You're invited to share your story of stigma around Diabetes on Facebook and Instagram, as well as joining in on a Facebook Live today, Wednesday 28th May at 7pm.

Pregnant news anchor stays on air during labor
Ammon News - Local news co-anchor Olivia Jaquith went ahead with a three-hour morning newscast even after her labor contractions began and her water broke, keeping viewers updated about the coming birth of her first baby. 'We do have some breaking news this morning literally,' co-anchor Julia Dunn said at the top of the CBS6 Albany broadcast Wednesday morning. 'Olivia's water has broke, and she is anchoring the news now in active labor.' 'Early labor, early labor,' replied Jaquith, who was two days past her due date. Jaquith stayed on air as Dunn kept recording on Facebook Live. 'I'm happy to be here, and I'll stay on the desk for as long as I possibly can,' Jaquith said. 'But if I disappear, that's what's going on.' Jaquith had the option of going home, but she told the Times-Union that she decided to pass the time at her job rather than "nervously waiting around at the hospital.' 'Having the entire morning team alongside me cracking jokes helped me get through contractions much easier,' she said in a text to the newspaper.
