Amy Schumer announces divorce
Comedian and actress Amy Schumer has announced that she and her husband, chef Chris Fischer, have decided to end their marriage after seven years. In a statement shared publicly, Schumer said the decision was difficult but amicable, adding that they still love and respect each other and will continue to focus on raising their son.

Rights groups condemn re-arrest of Nobel laureate Mohammadi in Iran
International human rights groups have condemned the re-arrest of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi in Iran, with the Nobel committee calling on Iranian authorities to immediately clarify her whereabouts, Reuters reported.
Mohammadi's French lawyer, Chirine Ardakani, said on X that the human rights activist was arrested on Friday after denouncing the suspicious death of lawyer Khosrow Alikordi at his memorial ceremony in the northeastern city of Mashhad.

Brown University shooting leaves 2 dead, 9 injured as police search for killer
More than 400 law enforcement personnel were deployed on Saturday as police sought the suspect in a shooting at Brown University in Rhode Island that left two students dead and another nine people wounded at the Ivy League school, officials said, Reuters reported.
The Providence university remained in lockdown hours after a suspect with a firearm entered a building where students were taking exams. Officials do not believe there is any "specific, ongoing threat" from the suspect, Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said late Saturday, but with law enforcement agencies canvassing the area and conducting a manhunt, a shelter-in-place order for the campus and the surrounding neighborhood will remain for now.
"The shelter-in-place allows (law enforcement) to do their work in the first phase of the investigation," Smiley said, according to Reuters.
