Surveillance video captured two suspects robbing a woman in her 60s as she exited her vehicle just outside her Moreno Valley home last month and the victim’s family believes she may have been followed.  The incident in the 26000 block of Sugarcane Drive occurred on Dec. 26 just before 10 p.m. after the victim, identified only as Lien, had gotten off work as a server at a nearby restaurant, stopped for gas and made a quick trip to a Kohl’s department store.  For Lien’s daughter Sammie and her daughter-in-law Jill, the video is difficult to see.  “The video is kind of hard to watch because she is screaming for help,” Sammie told KTLA’s Shelby Nelson. “It’s hard for us to hear it.” The footage shows the two suspects approaching Lien as she’s getting out of her car.  Working together, one of the suspects blocks the woman from getting back in her car as the other suspect grabs her from behind.  Two suspects caught on camera robbing a Moreno Valley woman in her 60...

Ugandan authorities crack down on fermented banana drink

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 16:41:37 GMT

By Rodney Muhumuza | Associated PressMBARARA, Uganda — At least once a week, Girino Ndyanabo’s family converges around a pit in which bananas have been left to ripen. The bananas are peeled and thrown into a wooden vat carved like a boat, and the patriarch steps in with bare feet.The sweet juice he presses out is filtered and sprinkled with grains of sorghum, which converts the juice into ethanol, and left to ferment for up to a day.

Folk singers have crooned about it, politicians seeking a common touch take a sip when hunting for votes, and traditional ceremonies terminate at dusk with tonto parties. Its devotees are many, ranging from officials in suits to laborers in sandals.But its production is under ...
