Palestinians clean around a Byzantine-era mosaic floor that was uncovered recently by a farmer in Bureij in central Gaza Strip, Sept. 5, 2022. The man says he stumbled upon it while planting an olive tree last spring and quietly excavated it over several months with his son. Experts say the discovery of the mosaic — which includes 17 well-preserved images of animals and birds — is one of Gaza's greatest archaeological treasures. They say it's drawing attention to the need to protect Gaza's antiquities, which are threatened by a lack of resources and the constant threat of fighting with Israel.

BUREIJ, Gaza Strip (AP) — Last spring, a Palestinian farmer was planting a new olive tree when his shovel hit a hard object. He called his son, and for three months, the pair slowly excavated an ornate Byzantine-era mosaic that experts say is one of the greatest archaeological treasures ever found in Gaza.
The discovery has set off excitement among archaeologists, and the territory's Hamas rulers are planning a major announcement in the coming days.

Its arrival comes after North Korea recently passed a new law designed to authorize the preemptive use of nuclear weapons.

Authorities say an eastern Indiana police officer who was shot in the head during a traffic stop in August has died more than two weeks after being removed from life support. The Richmond Police Department says in a statement posted to Facebook that Officer Seara Burton died Sunday night at Reid Health in Richmond. Burton was critically wounded in the shooting Aug. 10, in Richmond, about 65 miles east of Indianapolis. She was moved to hospice care after being removed from life support Sept. 1 at a hospital in Dayton, Ohio. The 28-year-old officer was a four-year veteran of the Richmond department. The subject of the traffic stop was earlier charged with three counts of attempted murder and four other charges.

The three Baltic states neighboring Russia have closed their borders to most Russians, saying the move is to protect the security of the three European Union nations. The decision that takes effect Monday was reached earlier this month by the leaders of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and of Poland, which borders Russia's Kaliningrad exclave. Warsaw's move seems more drawn-out. Under the ban, Russians wishing to travel to the EU as tourists or for business, sports or culture purposes will not be allowed in, even if they have valid visas for the EU's no-checks Schengen zone. There will be few exceptions. The Baltic countries want the ban introduced by all 27 EU members.

In a joint investigation, reporters from the Associated Press and Reveal at the Center for Investigative Reporting spent months unearthing the history of convict leasing that built business empires. They focused on Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad, which ran a stockade and coal mine, and the company that later bought it, U.S. Steel. The team found someone living today whose ancestor was imprisoned in the Lone Rock stockade nearly 140 years ago. They also interviewed the descendant of a man who got rich from his role in pioneering Tennessee’s convict leasing system. The reporters also heard from U.S. Steel. For the first time, it said it was willing to discuss its past with members of the affected community.

Interest in the two-day meeting – which convenes a broad spectrum of luminaries, was so large that the Clinton Foundation had to turn more than 1,000 potential attendees away. Clinton says there's a “longing” for people to get together and make good things happen. The initiative has helped people in more than 180 countries since it was established in 2005.
