The gunman who killed 17 people at a South Florida high school in 2018 is expected to be sentenced Wednesday to life in prison without the possibility of parole, capping a harrowing, months-long trial in which a jury declined to recommend the death penalty. Nikolas Cruz, 24, is set to face more of his victims in court before Broward Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer formally imposes the sentence she recommended last month — an outcome that disappointed and angered many relatives of those he killed, including some who faced Cruz on Tuesday in court....

Talks began in April last year to reintegrate the United States into the 2015 deal, lifting sanctions and for Iran to comply again by curtailing its nuclear activities. However, negotiations have stalled since March, and members of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Wednesday adopted a resolution criticizing Iran for its lack of co-operation with the watchdog, further escalating tensions. Iran condemned the proposal as “unconstructive”, announcing earlier on Wednesday that it had disconnected some IAEA cameras monitoring its nuclear facilities....

The UN has made investigating human rights abuses in the war a priority, and in May its top human rights body ordered a team of experts to begin working in the country. Since then, UN investigators have risked their lives to collect evidence of crimes committed against civilians, including in areas still threatened by enemy forces or mined. The panel of three independent experts presented its first oral briefing to the UN human rights council on Friday after starting initial investigations into the areas of Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Sumy regions, adding that it would expand its investigations....

Putin has previously threatened to resort to nuclear weapons if Russia’s goals in Ukraine continue to be thwarted. The annexation brings the use of a nuclear weapon one step closer by giving Putin a possible justification on the grounds that “the territorial integrity of our country is threatened,” as he put it in a speech last week. He renewed the threat on Friday with an ominous comment that the US atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki set a “precedent” for the use of nuclear weapons, echoing his past references to the US invasion of Iraq as a precedent for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine....
