BREAKING NEWS BRIEF
The actor and rapper known as DMX died yesterday
Earl Simmons, the actor and rapper known as DMX, passed away yesterday in the hospital after several days on life support. About a week ago, he’d had a heart attack at home. He was 50 years old.
“Earl was a warrior who fought till the very end,” his family wrote in a statement. “He loved his family with all of his heart and we cherish the times we spent with him.”
The actor Chris Redd said on twitter: “My childhood and love for music would not have been the same without this man. DMX was easily my favorite artist growing up. I had every album, every ruff Ryder song, followed any artist he endorsed. Man… RIP the dog. There will never be another like him.”

Tensions rise in Belfast as rioters ignore pleas for peace and calm
The tension in Northern Ireland continues to rise as rioters continue to clash with police and leave a trail of destruction across Belfast.
Protestors took to the streets to riot last week after tensions between the Protestant and Catholic communities reached a boiling point. The city has been in turmoil ever since. The unrest stems from disagreements over pandemic-related lockdowns and restrictions, as well as new post-Brexit trade rules.
The riots took a violent turn this week as stones, fireworks, and flaming gasoline filled bottles have been hurled at police over the last few days. A total of 19 officers were injured late in the week, bringing the total of injured officers to 74.
