Leftist candidate Pedro Castillo has been formally declared as President-elect of Peru, by the country’s National Electoral Court (JNE).

The Biden administration legal team has decided that thousands of federal convicts who were released to home confinement to reduce the risk of spreading Covid-19 will be required by law to return to prison a month after the official state of emergency for the pandemic ends, according to officials. The administration has come under pressure from criminal justice reform activists and some lawmakers to revoke a Trump-era memo by the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, which said inmates whose sentences lasted beyond the “pandemic emergency period” would have to go back to prison. But the Biden legal team has concluded that the memo correctly interpreted the law, which applies to about 4,000 nonviolent inmates, according to officials who spoke on condition of anonymity about sensitive internal deliberations. Several officials characterized the decision as an assessment of the best interpretation of the law, not a matter of policy preference. The official state of emergency is not expected to end this year because of a rise in new infections caused by the coronavirus’s Delta variant. But the determination means that whenever it does end, the department’s hands will be tied. That leaves two options if those prisoners are not to be sent back into cells: Either Congress could enact a law to expand the Justice Department’s authority to keep them at home beyond the emergency, or President Biden could use his clemency powers to commute their sentences to home confinement.

“Let’s just change the narrative of soul food,” said Karter Louis, former musician and restaurateur. After nearly three decades and six brands, Lewis opened his newest venture, Soul Slice, on June 19 in Oakland, a date chosen to honor the Juneteenth holiday and the roots of soul food. Since then, the restaurant has already gained attention for its menu of unique, biscuit crust “pizzas,” topped with Southern-style foods like black-eyed peas and hot links. At first glance, Soul Slice’s menu is intimidating and adventurous, a wide selection of traditional soul foods all served in pizza form. For anyone who grew up on traditional soul food, the presentation seems downright sacrilegious. But while Soul Slice uses the word “pizza” on its menu, Louis told Nosh that “We play in the genre of pizza but it is not pizza. It is basically soul food on an open face biscuit with soul food ingredients.”

Oyamada, also known by his stage name Cornelius, made the comments in a pair of interviews in the mid-Nineties when his career was taking off. The popular Japanese music blog, Arma! Japan, stated that Oyamada told reporters that he tormented a classmate from elementary school through high school, with the blog characterizing Oyamada’s comments at the time as “boastful.” In the interviews, Oyamada reportedly said he would force his classmate to eat his own feces and masturbate in front of other students. He also reportedly made the boy walk around the school with his penis exposed, tied him up, trapped him in a box, and duct-taped a cardboard box around his head and poured chalk dust inside.

The Biden administration has declined to prosecute former Trump administration officials, including former Commerce Department Secretary Wilbur Ross, after an inspector general confirmed they provided false testimony regarding the origins of the proposed citizenship question on the 2020 census.  The Commerce IG launched its probe in 2019, following a request from lawmakers. The investigators did not make their report public, citing Privacy Act concerns, but said in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., that Ross and other officials played a “substantive role” in proposing the addition of the citizenship question to the census. The proposal caused significant controversy as critics said it would deter non-citizens from participating in the count at all and it was eventually struck down by the Supreme Court.

Far-right British commentator Katie Hopkins will be deported after her visa was cancelled overnight. Ms Hopkins had been brought to Australia by Channel 7 to join its reality television program Big Brother VIP, but was dropped from the program after boasting about the ways she was undermining the hotel's safety protocols, describing the lockdown as a "hoax". Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews told ABC News Breakfast Ms Hopkins's visa had been cancelled. "I am hoping that will happen imminently." In a video that has since been deleted from Instagram, Ms Hopkins said she had been "lying in wait" by her door for workers delivering food to her room, so she could "spring it open and frighten the shit out of them and do it naked with no face mask". Ms Hopkins attracted widespread anger from both government and opposition politicians, as well as Australians overseas, who questioned how she was able to secure a place in hotel quarantine in Sydney. Ms Andrews said Ms Hopkins had been granted entry to Australia as a potential benefit to the economy. She and other Big Brother contestants had been granted visas based on support from the NSW government, which had approved the contestants above the quarantine cap. But Ms Andrews said it was "despicable" that Ms Hopkins had put the safety of quarantine workers at risk. "I'm with you, it's appalling this individual behaved the way she did," she said. "All visa holders must abide by the health directions issued by our health officials— we won’t tolerate those who don’t. Ms Hopkins rose to prominence in the UK as a reality television contestant and often controversial commentator. In 2017, she was fired as a host on English radio station LBC after calling for a "final solution" following the Manchester Arena terrorist attacks. Last year, she was permanently banned from Twitter for breaching the platform's "hateful conduct" policy. Many celebrities have come to Australia since the border was formally closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Actors Matt Damon, Natalie Portman and Christian Bale are among those who have filmed in Australia since that time, in some cases with permission to quarantine at home. But Ms Andrews said there was "no place" for anyone who deliberately endangered others. "Entry to Australia brings responsibilities and the community rightly expects better," Ms Andrews said. "Those who don’t live up to the standards can expect to have their visas cancelled and to be removed."

A terrifying scene unfolded at Nationals Park on Saturday, enough to suspend a game against the San Diego Padres. Four people were shot directly outside the stadium's third base gate, the DC Police Department confirmed on Twitter. Police told The Washington Post that a man had been shot in the leg and a woman shot in the back, while two others walked into local hospitals for treatment. The Nationals reacted to the confusion by cautioning fans to stay inside the stadium, but later confirmed there had been a shooting and encouraged fans to exit through gates in the outfield. The building was later evacuated, including the press box, while the police blocked off the scene of the crime..
