Nine passengers were missing after a blaze engulfed a ferry sailing from Greece to Italy early Friday.

Firefighters were battling to rescue people trapped on the ship.

A total of 240 passengers and 51 crew members were on board the Italian-flagged Euroferry Olympia when the fire broke out.

Rescue vessels took most of those rescued to the island of Corfu where ambulances were waiting.

A judge in the northern U.S. state of Minnesota on Friday sentenced former police officer Kimberly Potter to two years in the fatal shooting of Black motorist Daunte Wright during a traffic stop.

周五,美国北部明尼苏达州的一名法官判处前警官金伯利·波特两年有期徒刑,原因是他在一次交通拦截中开枪打死了黑人司机道特·赖特。

It was a lighter sentence than the just over seven years in prison the prosecutors wanted.

这比检察官所要求的7年多一点的监禁要短。

Potter said she mistook her handgun for her taser and firing on Wright who resisted when officers pulled him over in a Minneapolis suburb last April.

波特称,去年4月,警察在明尼阿波利斯郊区将赖特拦下,她误把手枪当作泰瑟枪,在赖特进行抵抗时向他开了枪。

Potter was found guilty in December of first-degree and second-degree manslaughter.

去年12月,波特被判一级和二级过失杀人罪成立。

The shooting triggered multiple nights of protests in the town of Brooklyn Center.

该枪击事件在布鲁克林中心镇引发了多晚的抗议活动。

The demonstrations captured national attention at a time when many Americans were reckoning with racism and police violence.
