What an internal investigation means following a police shooting incident
Two deputies are currently presumed innocent and have been placed on administrative leave for the time being. Law professor Mark Rabil said this has been standard practice for decades. “The State Bureau of Investigation will then come in and interview the officer, and they’ll look at body cam footage, listen to the 911 recordings and to whatever the witnesses had to say originally.

Sri Lanka turns to China for more investment help
Politics and international affairs professor Neil DeVotta said the offer to further develop the Hambantota Port was part of nine bilateral agreements and could be viewed as a development package.

How North African railway is on track to helping China de-risk its iron ore supply
In the middle of the Sahara Desert, Chinese workers have been braving the intense Algerian heat as they build a 575km (357-mile) rail line connecting one of the world’s largest iron ore mines to the national rail network.
