  The Buffalo Bills announced the release of the following players Wednesday: safety Jordan Poyer, center Mitch Morse, defensive back Siran Neal, wide receiver Deonte Harty and running back Nyheim Hines. Poyer, Morse and Neal have been integral part of the Bills roster over the last several seasons, contributing to five consecutive playoff berths. Here's how each player has impacted the Bills during their tenure: Jordan poyer After a seven-year stint in which he recorded 682 tackles, 22 interceptions, 35 tackles for a loss, 48 pass breakups and 11 sacks, the Buffalo Bills are releasing longtime safety Jordan Poyer. Poyer, 32, has been a team captain each of the last four seasons and ends his time with Buffalo as one of the most decorated Bills defensive players of his era.

Coming to Buffalo in 2017, Poyer

Gangs rule Haiti’s capital. Some say they’re ready to overthrow the government too

  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

Scores killed trying to get food from an aid convoy during a chaotic scene in Gaza

  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
