Security authorities in eastern Libya freed at least 385 Pakistani migrants who were held in trafficking warehouses in an overnight raid, a migrant rights group said Monday. Al-Abreen, a group which helps migrants in Libya, said the Pakistani nationals were released early Monday from smugglers' warehouses in the al-Khueir area, roughly 5 miles south of the eastern Libyan city of Tobruk. The migrants — among them children — were later transferred to a nearby police headquarters, it said in a post on its official Facebook page. Esreiwa Salah, an activist with al-Abreen, told The Associated Press the Pakistani migrants arrived in Libya intending to travel to Europe but were detained by smugglers who demanded a ransom for their release. No further details were given. Several pictures posted on al-Abreen's Facebook page showed dozens of purportedly freed Pakistani migrants sitting outside of a warehouse.

Logging hours in the gym isn't the only way to reap the health benefits of exercise .   Just four to five minutes of "vigorous physical activity" could reduce cancer risk significantly among people who have been generally inactive, according to a new study published in the journal JAMA Oncology.

It wasn't all that long ago that socialism was in sharp decline throughout the Latin American region. As Venezuela descended into economic chaos , and unrest spread throughout Cuba and Nicaragua, the left lost its stranglehold on the key powerhouses of Brazil and Argentina. At the ballot boxes, voters across South and Central America turned against socialist and communist parties in a big way. However, that trend has reversed sharply over the past 5 years, with left-wing parties scoring big wins in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Peru. Most surprisingly of all, Colombia elected its first left-wing leader in a generation, with former Bogota Mayor Gustavo Petro narrowly winning office with 51% of the vote over Bucaramanga Mayor Rodolfo Hernandez.

The prosecution in Kevin Spacey's criminal sexual assault trial claimed the actor got away with his behavior because of his celebrity status in closing arguments Wednesday. Spacey seized brief moments for an "opportunity grab" and was able to get away with the assaults for years, because he was a celebrity who took advantage of his power, prosecutor Christine Agnew said. Spacey is on trial after pleading not guilty to charges of sexual assault, indecent assault and causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent. Four men testified about similar encounters that involved Spacey allegedly groping them. Agnew emphasized that the four men's accounts were similar not because they had conspired to bring Spacey down, but because groping was reportedly Spacey's "trademark" move, according to the prosecution.

Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin filed a brief with the Supreme Court Tuesday asking the high court to reinstate the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP), a 303-mile natural gas pipeline under construction. The Fiscal Responsibility Act, a bill that suspended the limit on federal debt through early 2025 and was signed by President Biden in early June, included a provision automatically approving any outstanding federal environmental permits for the MVP, which runs from West Virginia to Virginia. However, last week, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a stay blocking the pipeline's construction from proceeding. "I was proud to help ensure that the Mountain Valley Pipeline would finally be completed through ratification and approval of the project’s permits without further judicial review in the Fiscal Responsibility Act," Manchin said in a statement.  "But, yet again, this vital energy infrastructure project has been put on hold by the Fourth Circuit despi...
