This is the dramatic moment when police officers arrest two suspects - one wanted for murder - during a drug bust. The suspects - later identified as Jamiequev Andrews and Kenneth Rashad Hill - were arrested after investigators witnessed suspicious activity in a neighbourhood in Atlanta, in the US state of Georgia on 24th February. While patrolling the area, officers noticed two males engaging in illegal narcotics activity near 215 Forsyth St. SW. Upon approaching the suspects, one of the men discarded what appeared to be crack-cocaine on the ground in plain sight. The officers detained Andrews and Hill as they discovered the two were in possession of crack-cocaine and marijuana. One of the suspects also had a firearm on his person, which he attempted to throw away during the arrest. However, officers were able to safely retrieve the weapon. Andrews and Hill were both charged with multiple narcotics violations. Andrews had two out-of-jurisdiction warrants for burglary and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, while Hill had two outstanding warrants for possession of methamphetamine and homicide. Further investigation led to the discovery of several tools, including vehicle keys and crowbars, believed to be used for committing burglaries.

This is the moment Oklahoma City cops arrest a suspect involved in a hit-and-run that left three emergency workers injured, including a police officer. The hit-and-run incident reportedly took place as officers were investigating the scene of a previous car crash in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on 26th February. While investigating the incident, a vehicle hit one of the officer's patrol cars, striking emergency personnel and injuring three individuals, including Officer Trista Fechner. The suspect, later identified as Rafael Chay, 31, driving the car then fled the scene. Officer Wallace Wyatt, who was present at the scene, chased the suspect vehicle on foot, and a responding officer picked him up. The officers were able to track down the suspect vehicle to an apartment complex in the 1700-block of NW 46th Street. With great investigative work, Officer Wyatt and other officers were able to determine where the driver lived and arrested Chay.

A group of violent agitators were arrested after they attempted to carry out an attack while using a peaceful protest as a cover. Police have reportedly arrested a total of 23 attackers who got charged with domestic terrorism. The group conducted a coordinated attack on construction equipment and police officers during a protest of the proposed Atlanta Public Safety Training Centre, in Atlanta, in the US state of Georgia on 5th March. The agitators changed into black clothing, entered the construction area, and began to throw large rocks, bricks, Molotov cocktails, and fireworks at police officers. Several pieces of construction equipment were destroyed by fire and vandalism before multiple law enforcement agencies were able to detain and arrest the perpetrators. A total of 35 agitators were detained, and 23 of them were later arrested and charged with Domestic Terrorism by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The Atlanta Police Department emphasized that the illegal actions of the agitators could have resulted in bodily harm and were not representative of a peaceful demonstration. The department has put in place a multi-layered strategy, including reactions and arrests, to maintain order during upcoming protests. They have urged protesters to remain peaceful and expressed their commitment to ensuring the safety of all involved.

An Italian DJ and festival organiser was killed when an 18-year-old drink driver travelling the wrong way down the road crashed into his taxi. The head-on smash, which killed 48-year-old Edoardo Di Lorio instantly, took place on the M-11 motorway in Spain's Madrid region early on 5th March. Harrowing footage from the scene shows how the taxi was left a mangled wreck. Edoardo was returning to his hotel from the IFEMA event venue after the Afterlife techno festival he had organised when the accident happened. The violent collision between the Jeep and the taxi caused the latter to mount the crash barrier and trapped Edoardo and his driver inside. Emergencias Madrid said first responders were unable to do anything to save the DJ's life and gave his cause of death as polytrauma. The taxi driver survived the crash and was taken to a hospital in Madrid, where he was treated for severe chest trauma. The driver of the Jeep at fault was taken to another hospital in Madrid for observation. He was later arrested and charged with reckless manslaughter and driving under the influence of alcohol. The Civil Guard is investigating the case. Rome-born Miami resident Edoardo was a dad of one and had a long career as a DJ and a music event promoter, which had taken him all over the world. He is reported to have been general manager of the club Opium Garden in Miami, as well as an assistant director at the club Pacha in Ibiza.

A holidaymaker plunged 150 feet to his death after slipping as he took a selfie on a spectacular cliff near the paradise island of Bali. Victim Abhishek Bhatia, 43, had been with a tour guide on a trip to the visitor hotspot Broken Bay, on Nusa Penida Island, Indonesia, when he fell on Saturday, 4th March.

"The victim was successfully evacuated at 19.40pm dead and then the victim's body was taken to Gema Santi Hospital, Nusa Penida." Broken Bay - with its naturally formed rock arches surrounding a pool of sea - is one of the most photographed places around Bali.

France has conducted its largest military exercise in decades, known as Exercise Orion 23. Approximately 7,000 soldiers, including assets from host nation France and joint assets from the US and the UK, participated in the second phase of Exercise Orion in France in February 2023. In a video obtained by Newsflash from NATO, various shots of French paratroopers can be seen landing in Castres. It also shows French amphibious troops coming ashore in the town of Sete, as well as interviews with French officers. Naval assets from NATO allies such as Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain also participated in the exercise, which focused on defensive operations on land, in the air, at sea, and in cyberspace. The French Air and Space Force played a significant role in the exercise by deploying three A400M transport aircraft, which dropped 700 French troops from the 8th Marines Infantry Parachute Regiment and an attached company from the 17 Engineer Parachute Regiment over an airfield in Castres. In another phase of the exercise, three more aircraft dropped 48 hours’ worth of equipment and supplies for the force to secure and hold the area. During the exercise, 700 amphibious troops also came ashore from the French Navy's amphibious ships Tonnerre and Mistral, along with vehicles and equipment. They disembarked in the coastal town of Sete before heading north to practice manoeuvres and operations. The exercise aimed to test and improve France's military readiness and interoperability with its allies in the event of a large-scale conflict.

The images were obtained by Newsflash from the US Army National Guard and they show members assigned to NATO eFP Battle Group Poland, 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division taking part in the exercise at Bemowo Piskie, Poland, on 27th February. The exercise is reportedly aimed at testing the troops' combat readiness and their ability to engage in multinational training and exercises across Europe, working alongside NATO allies and regional security partners. The 4th Infantry Division (4 ID) is currently on a mission in Europe to provide combat-credible forces to V Corps, America's forward-deployed corps in Europe. In the video, soldiers can be seen firing their weapons and engaging in tactical manoeuvres as they work together with their NATO counterparts to complete the training. The soldiers are equipped with a variety of weapons, including rifles, machine guns, and tanks, which they use to take out targets in the field. The exercise is just one of many that the US military has been conducting in Europe in recent years, as part of an effort to maintain a strong military presence in the region and ensure the security of its NATO allies. These exercises also provide an opportunity for US troops to work with their counterparts from other countries and improve their interoperability.

A small pottery shard that was believed to be a rare 2,500-old find inscribed with the name of the Persian king Darius the Great turned out to be nothing more than a school study aid. The discovery - made by a hiker passing through the Tel Lachish National Park in Israel - was officially declared a fake by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA). The Authority said in a statement obtained by Newsflash that the shard had been created by an expert demonstrating inscription techniques to her students. Professor Gideon Avni - the IAA’s chief scientist - apologised on behalf of the scientific institution and took responsibility for the misinformation. This came after numerous local media reports described it as the first-ever discovery of an inscription bearing the name of the ancient ruler anywhere in Israel. The researcher who accidentally left the shard on site said it was done unintentionally and without malice. The find bearing an inscription reading: "Year 24 of Darius" - made by Eylon Levy in December - was initially dated back to 498 BC, when Persia ruled what is now modern-day Israel. The park where the pottery was discovered sits on the site of an ancient city called Lachish. It used to be a major fortified city that was responsible for collecting taxes for the Persian king's treasuries. As a result of this unfortunate occurrence, the IAA vowed to refresh proper procedures and policies with all foreign expeditions working in the country.

This is the moment a greedy racoon with its head trapped in a jar has to rack one up to experience. A patrol officer found the beast wandering around with the container stuck fast over its head close to a row of trash dumpsters in Anoka County, Minnesota on Wednesday, 1st March. The officer - who was not named by the Oak Grove Police Department - was caught on CCTV cameras chasing the racoon as he tried to free it. After chasing him around a vaping vending machine, he finally grabs the jar and swings the racoon around and around to loosen the grip. Finally, he lets go of the jar and - reports local media - the racoon is set free. Police said in a statement obtained by Newsflash: "The foot chase travelled a quarter mile in steps within 10 square feet as the culprit refused all verbal commands. "Once the officer (unnamed) went hands-on and completed an impromptu roundabout dizzying the raccoon, the jar was safely removed. "The raccoon did not report any injuries from the incident, and the officer did not display any external injuries though internally it may be too soon." The video which was posted on the police department's Facebook page later that day, was received with joy by social media users. Facebook user Diana Pixler said: "I appreciate all your efforts, Officer, in helping that little critter. Thank you, and God bless and keep you and all LEO safe." User Jamie Heishman Squires joked: "Thank you officer. I sure his family and friends are thanking you also." Then user Ginger Dawn Speed added: "Too funny. He wasn't gonna give up on the little guy!"
