  Port-au-Prince, Haiti CNN  —  From above,  Haiti’s  capital city Port-au-Prince still looks serene, its white-washed homes climbing steep green hills that encircle a glittering bay. But to step onto its cracked streets requires a careful calculation of risk and reward. Ruthless gangs have a stranglehold on the city, preying on the population, carving neighborhoods into warring criminal fiefdoms, and cutting Haiti’s international port off from the rest of the country. In this city, the most-shared online videos are often torture footage, recorded and posted by gangs to spread horror and hasten ransom payments for thousands of kidnapping victims. Last month, within hours of landing at the city’s Toussaint L’Ouverture airport, a CNN team began to receive forwarded messages from contacts sharing the latest cruel footage – a bound woman twisting away from flames as her kidnappers jeered. It was a glimpse into the viral daily torment of life in Haiti, where frequent civilian protests empha

  RAFAH, Gaza Strip — Israeli troops fired on a large crowd of Palestinians racing to pull food off an aid convoy in Gaza City on Thursday, witnesses said. More than 100 people were killed in the chaos, bringing the death toll since the start of the Israel-Hamas war   to more than 30,000 , according to health officials. The violence was quickly condemned by Arab countries, and U.S. President Joe Biden expressed concern it would add to the difficulty of negotiating a cease-fire in the nearly five-month conflict. The Gaza City area was among the first targets of Israel's air, sea and ground offensive, launched in response to Hamas' Oct. 7 attack into Israel. While many Palestinians fled the invasion in the north of the enclave, a few hundred thousand are believed to remain in the largely devastated and isolated region. Trucks carrying food reached northern Gaza this week, the first major aid delivery there in a month, officials said. Aid groups say it has become nearly impossible

  Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba says he is "sad, shocked and heartbroken" after being banned from football for four years for a doping offence. The France international, 30, was  provisionally suspended in September  after a drugs test found elevated levels of testosterone in his system. "Everything I have built in my professional career has been taken away from me," he said in a statement. The former Manchester United player added he would appeal. Pogba was randomly tested after Juventus' first match of the season on 20 August. The positive test was confirmed by Italy's national anti-doping tribunal in a  second sample in October,  and the anti-doping prosecutor's office requested a four-year suspension. Juventus told the BBC they received notification from the anti-doping tribunal on Thursday morning. Pogba said he believed the verdict was "incorrect" and he would "never knowingly or deliberately" dope. "When I am free of lega
