Egypt says its security forces have killed at least 27 suspected militants in the restive northern Sinai Peninsula and along its porous border with Libya.

The military said that forces destroyed 342 hideouts and weapons depots, dismantled 344 explosive devices and detained more than 400 suspects and around 3,000 illegal migrants, without giving a timeframe. 

It says airstrikes destroyed 61 vehicles containing weapons and ammunition in the Western Desert.

It’s been a wild few weeks for Michael Avenatti. The “street fighter” who can defeat President Trump, both as a candidate in 2020 and in court on behalf of Stormy Daniels.

For most of 2018, the lawyer has managed to stay in the national spotlight with the countless TV appearances. 

Then a stunning reversal, Avenatti was up against domestic violence accusations.
A $4.85-million judgment in favor of a former colleague, who alleges Avenatti funneled money to different entities to avoid paying his debts.

A public rift with Daniels, who told The Daily Beast that he launched a fundraising site in her name without her permission and filed a defamation suit against Trump against her wishes, then the pair appeared to have reconciled.

A
debtor’s examination related to unpaid child and spousal support in his divorce. According to one September court filing, Avenatti owes his ex-wife more than $1 million.  
The potential criminal probe into Avenatti and his client Julie Swetnick, who claimed she witnessed then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh spike girls’ drinks at high-school parties so they could be “gang-raped” by groups of boys... then inconsistencies.

Mass incarceration raises serious issues of social justice, because it has been heavily skewed toward poor minority men with less than high school educational attainments. 

African American male high school dropouts are one hundred times more likely to be sent to prison than college-educated white men. 

Remarkably, as of 2010, more than one-third of African American male high school dropouts aged 20 to 39 were in jails, state, or federal prisons.

Even as Turkish leaders call for an international inquiry into Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khassogi's murder, the Committee to Protect Journalists found the Turkish government to be the world's biggest jailer of journalists for the third consecutive year, according to a newly released report

According to the global press freedom watchdog's Annual Prison Census, 251 journalists are currently in jails around the world as of Dec. 1 for charges related to their work -- 68 in Turkey, 47 in China and 25 in Egypt, collectively responsible for more than half of the journalists behind bars.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been one of the harshest critics of Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for his alleged role in Khassogi's killing, but following a failed coup against his government in 2016, experts said, Erdogan has engaged in a country-wide crackdown on criticism.
Comment: Some journalist are a "want a be" above the law. Some alien themselves with or support variety of groups that is outlawed, sponsor terrorists or just against the government with many fake news.
