Mexico finally recaptured fugitive drug lord 'El Chapo' Guzmán, but the fight is far from over

ReutersJoaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán is escorted by soldiers during a presentation at the hangar belonging to the office of the attorney general in Mexico City, Mexico, on January 8.

On the morning of January 8, the Mexican government recaptured fugitive drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, and hours later frog-marched him from northwestern Sinaloa state, where he was captured, back to the prison near Mexico City from which he escaped in July — where he will reportedly be even more closely monitored.

But the fight — in court against Guzmán and in the streets against his cartel — is far from over.

The details that have emerged about the extradition case indicate that it could be years before Guzmán faces trial.

"I have a dream ... " We all know the words that start the famous speech.

But Martin Luther King Jr.'s crowning moment may never have happened without one of the largest protests ever — the March on Washington on August 28, 1963.

After growing backlash against blacks in the South, King and five others planned the event, a peaceful demonstration to end segregation and promote equal rights.

King crafted his famous speech specifically for the 250,000 people who would gather in the nation's capital that day.

In 1963, Birmingham, Alabama had become the epicenter of racist violence in America. A KKK member bombed a Baptist church, killing four young girls in September. Denise McNair, 11; Carole Robertson, 14; Addie Mae Collins, 14; and Cynthia Wesley, 14; from left, died in the fire.

In true 50 clap back fashion, Fif took to his Instagram account to issue his first of many threats to the Philly native.

“Hey s–thead. Your career is already over,” the POWER executive producer said. “You better focus on getting Nikki pregnant so you can at least get child support, girl.” It didn’t take long for Meek Mill to get wind of the jab 50 Cent took, for him to respond in kind.

ISIS is brainwashing children to murder their own parents, child soldier who escaped reveals

According to a young escapee, ISIS is brainwashing children in its self declared Islamic caliphate to murder their parents. Identified by his first name Nasir, the 12-year-old revealed that he was one of 60 children being trained to operate as a suicide bomber. After being taken captive, the would-be child soldiers -which included boys as young as five, were told that ISIS commanders cared for them more than their own parents.

According to him, 

“The scariest times for us all were when the airstrikes happened. They'd lead all of us underground into the tunnels to hide. They told us the Americans, the unbelievers, were trying to kill us but they, the fighters, they loved us. They would look after us better than our parents. When they were training us they would tell us our parents were unbelievers and that our first job was to go back to kill them.”

Thankfully Nasir who managed to escape their control, made his way to a refugee camp where he was reunited with his family. 

“When we escaped and I saw my mother again, it was like coming back to life,” he said.

5 countries dump more plastic into the oceans than the rest of the world combined

The planet’s seas are choking on our junk: soda bottles, plastic bags and tons of cigarette butts. Distant spots in the ocean — called garbage gyres — have become vortexes where humanity’s trash bobs atop the water for miles on end. 

Worse yet, the filth floating on the surface accounts for only 5 percent of all the plastic trash dumped into the sea. According toOcean Conservancy, a US environmental nonprofit, the other 95 percent is submerged beneath, where it strangles underwater creatures and wrecks the aquatic ecosystem.

It turns out that five countries are the leading contributors to this crisis. And all are in Asia.
