Pakistan 'honour killing' video sparks national outrage
A viral video showing the so-called honour killing of a couple accused of having an affair has sparked national outrage in Pakistan. The video shows the woman, Bano Bibi, being handed a Koran by a man police have identified as her brother. "Come walk seven steps with me, after that you can shoot me," she says, before walking forward and coming to a halt with her back to the men. Her brother, Jalal Satakzai, then shoots her three times in the back before she falls to the ground. He then shoots and kills the man Ms Bibi was accused of having an affair with, Ehsan Ullah Samalani. After the video, taken in Pakistan's Balochistan province, went viral, police arrested 16 people, including a tribal chief and the woman's mother. The mother, Gul Jan Bibi, said the killings were carried out by family and local elders based on "centuries-old Baloch traditions" and not on the orders of the tribal chief. "We did not commit any sin," she said in a video that also went viral. "Bano and Ehsan were killed according to our customs." She said her daughter, who had three sons and two daughters of her own, had run away with Mr Samalani and returned 25 days later. Police said Ms Bibi's younger brother, who shot the couple, remains at large.

Dozens of activists protested in the provincial capital of Quetta on Saturday to demand an end to parallel justice systems. Balochistan's chief minister Sarfraz Bugti said it was a "test" case and vowed to dismantle the illegal tribal courts operating outside the law. Police had said a jirga, an informal tribal council which issues extrajudicial rulings, had ordered the killings. While honour killings in Pakistan were made illegal in 2016, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan reported at least 405 in 2024, most of them women killed by relatives claiming to defend family honour.

'Cruel and absolutely unacceptable:' Viral fight video airs as city pushes to curb crime
This story has been updated with comments from Councilman Jeffreys and state Rep. Thomas. A video of a fight involving multiple people in Downtown Cincinnati is going viral amid ongoing debates about crime in the urban core. Signal 99, a Facebook page which calls itself "a Spicy meme page for Cops, Firefighters, Medics and Dispatchers" shared the video the morning of July 26. It went on to get traction on multiple platforms, and additional angles of the incident have also been shared. The post claims the fight took place at the corner of Fourth and Elm streets late Friday. The Cincinnati Music Festival brought thousands of people Downtown. Mayoral candidate and JD Vance's half-brother Cory Bowman reposted the video later in the day, using it as a vehicle to argue that the current administration is not addressing crime properly. The Enquirer texted Mayor Aftab Pureval's spokesman for comment, but has not received a response. Cincinnati police spokesman Jonathan Cunningham said the situation is under investigation. No details about whether anyone was hospitalized or arrested have been released. Chief Teresa Theetge issued a statement just after 6 p.m. "I am in complete disgust waking up to the viral video many of you have now seen. The behavior displayed is nothing short of cruel and absolutely unacceptable," Theetge said. "Our investigative team is working diligently to identify every individual involved in causing harm." She said the fight was not connected to the Cincinnati Music Festival. "This was a sudden dispute between individuals following a verbal altercation," Theetge said. The chief is asking anyone with information about the incident to call CrimeStoppers at 513-352-3040. The Enquirer has reached out to several businesses in the vicinity. At 6 p.m. on July 26, none had responded to phone messages or had agreed to speak in person. Cincinnati city councilman Mark Jeffreys described the video of the fight as "incredibly disturbing and horrific," as well as "downright inhumane." He added that he's spoken with other city officials and police to work on "finding the individuals responsible and arresting them urgently." "This behavior cannot stand and will not represent our city," Jeffreys said. "Those responsible must be held accountable and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." Ohio State Rep. Cecil Thomas said in a statement to Enquirer media partner Fox19 that he is 'totally embarrassed to see such behavior.' Thomas goes on to say that, with visitors from around the country, this sort of violence is 'unacceptable.' Crime in Cincinnati According to Cincinnati police data released on July 21, the central business district and riverfront area of Downtown has seen a 25% increase in violent crime compared to last year. The data shows there have been 21 aggravated assaults between Jan. 1 and July 21 this year, compared to 16 during the same period in 2024. Property crime has also increased by about 57% year over year. Theetge has announced a series of initiatives aimed at curbing crime, including a roving task force and more visible patrols. She has been giving updates about crime statistics in press conferences nearly every week. The Enquirer will update this story with more information when it becomes available.

"It was a breakdown of order, decency, and accountability—caught on video and cheered on by a crowd. This isn't just Cincinnati's problem. It's ours too." Hugh added that the incidents in Cincinnati don't just stay in the city, as "the perception of danger ripples across the region," discouraging residents from visiting Downtown's many events and attractions.

We can either raise our voices or watch silence fund the chaos. Bernie Moreno, Ohio senator Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno took to X to call out Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval for not issuing a statement or condemnation of the "heinous attack." "Instead of dreaming about higher office, which will never happen, he should be ensuring his residents are safe," Moreno wrote. Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general of the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division In a retweet of Moreno's X post, Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general for the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division, said, "Our federal hate crimes laws apply to ALL Americans" and that the division will monitor how local authorities handle this incident. "Nobody in our great nation should be the victim of such a crime, and where race is a motivation, federal law may apply," she added.

Shocking video appears to show baseball fans caught in vile sex act at Yankee Stadium
Two baseball fans appeared to be engaging in a sex act in the stands of Yankee Stadium in a shocking video that went viral on Sunday. The footage, which flooded social media, shows a man - wearing a Philadelphia Phillies jersey and cap - sitting alongside a woman near the top of the stands. Despite being surrounded by other fans - at what appears to be Yankee Stadium - the man appears to be performing a sexual act on the woman. 'This is f***ing insane,' one fan can be heard saying as the couple continues the act in broad daylight - and in clear sight of those around them. It is not immediately clear when the footage was taken but the Phillies have just spent the weekend in New York for a series against the Yankees. The two teams clashed again at Yankee Stadium on Sunday afternoon, in the third and final game of the series. The footage - captured by another fan a few rows back - appeared on TikTok on Sunday. Around the same time, the Yankees secured a 4-3 win over the Phillies. Back in 2012, reports emerged that a couple was caught having sex in the bathrooms of Yankee Stadium during a game against the Tampa Bay Rays. More recently, a man and his partner were accused of performing a sex act at the top of the stands during a game between the Oakland Athletics and Seattle Mariners. Last year, meanwhile, an OnlyFans model claimed she and her boyfriend had sex in the parking lot outside Allegiant Stadium during the Super Bowl in Las Vegas. Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs edged a thrilling 25-22 overtime win over the San Francisco 49ers. And model Kaylee Killion claimed she had sex in the parking lot with her fiance, Cody Nelson.
