October 16, 2014
What started off as police calmly removing barricades to free up traffic turned violent on Wednesday, as hundreds of police systematically and forcibly removed protesters from where they had been holed up. Perhaps the most alarming footage that surfaced from the day was video footage by local television station TVB, showing six plain clothed officers dragging a protester into the darkened entrance of a building, where they beat him for four minutes.
North and South Korea held senior-level military talks on Wednesday, discussing a pair of incidents last week where both sides exchanged fire. Generals and government officials from both sides met for five hours in Panmunjom and first such discussion since 2011.
A U.S. Marine has been charged with murder in the death of a transgender woman who was found strangled in the Philippines. Jeffrey Laude, who is also known as Jennifer, was found naked with her head in a toilet in an Olongapo hotel room shortly after midnight Sunday.
