TODAY'S TALKING POINTS |
| Beijing, China won the bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. Despite concerns over a lack of snow, the International Olympic Committee selected the city Friday morning, making it the first to host both summer and winter games. |
| An investigation by the Associated Press released Thursday revealed that 2016 Olympic athletes will be swimming and boating in highly contaminated water. Samples of Rio de Janeiro’s water were reportedly "so contaminated with human feces that [athletes] risk becoming violently ill and unable to compete in the games.” The Olympic Committee promised that the water would be up to standard in time for the event, but some athletes have already become ill while training. |
| An Orthodox Jewish man stabbed six people at Israel’s annual Pride parade. Yishai Schlissel was arrested Thursday for the attack that injured six and critically wounded at least one parade goer. He had just finished serving a prison sentence three weeks ago for the stabbing of three people at the same parade in 2005. |
| Ray Tensing pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and voluntary manslaughter. Bond was set at $1 million Thursday for the former University of Cincinnati police officer charged with the fatal July 19 shooting of Samuel DuBose. Tensing was released on bond less than eight hours after entering his plea. Officials shared body camera footage of the incident Wednesday, and its release sparked another wave of calls for widespread body cameras. |
