Photograph: Jeff Siner/AP Edward Helmore Smaller protests in Charlotte as family question police gun claims A smaller group of protesters and police in Charlotte, North Carolina, confronted each other for a third evening, on Thursday night, as the family of police shooting victim Keith Scott said it still had "more questions than answers" after privately viewing footage of his killing. Justin Bamberg, an attorney for the family, said in the statement: "While police did give him several commands, he did not aggressively approach them or raise his hands at members of law enforcement at any time. It is impossible to discern from the videos what, if anything, Mr Scott is holding in his hands." Curfew imposed in Charlotte as Keith Scott's family view footage Tulsa officer charged with manslaughter of Terence Crutcher Betty Shelby, the white police officer involved in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Friday has been charged with first-degree manslaughter. A court filing by prosecutors said Shelby "unlawfully and unnecessarily" shot Terence Crutcher because he was refusing to comply with her orders. Investigators allege Shelby "reacted unreasonably by escalating the situation". Shelby allegedly shot Crutcher, 40, in the right side of his chest during an encounter beside Crutcher's SUV on 16 September. Shelby was charged and released on bail. She faces four years to life if convicted.

Clinton "shares directly in with the responsibility for the unrest that is afflicting our country", Trump told a rally in suburban Philadelphia. "Rioting in the streets is a threat to all peaceful citizens and it must be ended and it must be ended now," the candidate told the almost entirely white crowd. Trump blames Clinton for giving 'nod' to police shooting protests Ohio Republican official resigns over 'racist' comments Kathy Miller, who was coordinating the Republican nominee's campaign in Mahoning County, Ohio, has apologized for her "inappropriate" remarks when she said, 'it's their own fault' if black people haven't succeeded. Miller said she would no longer have a role with the campaign. Trump's campaign replaced her with a woman who has previously said she was "offended as an African American" by the Republican candidate and confessed she had "bashed the crap out" out of him in the past. Trump campaign chair resigns over 'no racism before Obama' remarks Aleppo hit for second day Witnesses described the heavy bombardment of rebel-held east Aleppo as it entered a second day on Friday, hours after the Syrian military announced a major new offensive against the city that ended all talk of restoring a US-Russia ceasefire. Ammar al Selmo, the head of the civil defence rescue service in east Aleppo, told Reuters a fresh wave of bombing had started at 6am local time after heavy overnight attacks. "What's happening now is annihilation," he said. In New York, US secretary of state John Kerry met his Russian opposite number, Sergey Lavrov, with the ostensible hope of restoring a week-long truce that collapsed on Monday. Aleppo enters second day of bombing in new Syrian army offensive Russian toddler survives wilderness ordeal A toddler has been rescued after three days alone in a forest that is home to bears and wolves in southern Siberia. Three-year-old Tserin Dopchut sparked a huge land and air search when he wandered into the woodland last Sunday, the Siberian Times reported. Tserin was wearing shoes but no coat when he wandered into the taiga, the snow forest covering much of Russia, and had a small bar of chocolate in his pocket. He may have been following a puppy.

Details were taken from the company's network in late 2014 by what was believed to be a state-sponsored hacking group. However, doubts are emerging of foreign-government involvement. "It doesn't fit the normal intent or objectives of nation state attacks. It's not really espionage, it's not retaliation, sabotage or for financial gain," said Constant Karagiannis, chief technology officer of Security Consulting at BT Americas.

In episode one, they build a giant vulva, talk to a gynecologist, a labiaplasty surgeon and a trans woman ... and find out what vulvas really look like. Vagina 101: can you pass the test? The rise of the 'white power Barbie' In February, the Blaze's conservative pundit Tomi Lahren had yet another viral moment after she came out swinging at Beyoncé's Black Panther-themed Super Bowl performance. She pressed on with a characteristically acerbic three-minute tirade, referring to Jay Z as a drug dealer and suggesting that if Beyoncé wanted to protect black neighborhoods, she could "start at home". Her recent takedown of NFL star Colin Kaepernick's national anthem protest has garnered nearly 65m views on that platform alone. The rise of Tomi Lahren, the media star lampooned as 'white power Barbie' FBI considering Pitt investigation The FBI has said it is deciding whether to pursue and investigate an alleged incident regarding the actor Brad Pitt and his children while travelling on a private jet. The LA Times reported that the agency had been informed of "a child welfare incident" involving Pitt on an international flight last week by a law enforcement source. It said that the incident involved "unruly behaviour" and that the Los Angeles county department of children and family services was conducting an investigation.
