      From murder to stadium crush: Can Indonesia’s police reform?

      Indonesian police have found themselves in the dock in some high-profile cases amid hopes of greater accountability. Two freed, one police officer jailed over Indonesia stadium crush Medan, Indonesia – Indonesia’s police force has developed a reputation for violence and impunity, but the murder case involving Police Brigadier Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat shocked the country.

      Boris Becker admitted life in prison was “very dangerous” and could be “very lonely”. The tennis legend – who was freed from jail in December – under an early release scheme after serving only eight months of his two-and-a-half year sentence for breaching bankruptcy rules can’t understand why people think being behind bars is “easy”, though he acknowledged what little he knew of incarceration from TV shows and movies proved to be very different from the actuality. He told Telegraph magazine: “It’s a proper punishment. Whoever says that prison life is easy is a liar. You have to deal with your own demons, especially in the first weeks. So you have to discipline yourself, discipline your mind, and discipline your…

      The African Continent is Splitting Apart, And A New Ocean Will be Born: What It Means For Us

      Africa is breaking up or “rifting” into two parts and a new ocean is being born, scientists have said. As per a research published in the peer-reviewed journal Geophysical Research Letters, two major sections of the continent are peeling apart, which could eventually form a new ocean. Let’s understand the reason behind the split and how long will it take for Africa to break up. Why is Africa splitting? According to the study, the slow separation of the continent is linked to a 35-mile-long crack that formed in Ethiopia’s desert after an earthquake in 2005, and will eventually become a completely new sea. The seismic data present in the research shows that the creation of the rift was triggered by…
