Scientists have found the strongest evidence to date that a condition known as Barrett’s oesophagus is the starting point for all cases of oesophageal adenocarcinoma – the most common type of oesophageal cancer in the developed world – even when telltale signs of this pre-cancerous stage are no longer visible.

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent has been charged by state prosecutors in Minnesota with two counts of assault related to a road rage incident. They have issued a nationwide warrant for his arrest.

The ICE agent, Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., is accused of pointing his gun at two people in another car on Feb. 5 as he tried to pass them while illegally driving in his unmarked SUV on the shoulder of a highway in Minneapolis, prosecutors said at a press conference.

The incident came on the heels of the killings of two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, by federal agents in Minneapolis, amid the Trump administration’s surge of immigration enforcement actions in the Twin Cities.

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger has signed a bill that will cease renewals of license plates honoring Robert E. Lee and the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

Delegate Dan Helmer, who represents part of Fairfax County, sponsored the bill. House Bill 1344 says that all license plates still on the street are valid until their expiration, but will not be renewed.

“Virginia needs to end itself of being in the business of celebrating traitors who killed American soldiers to defend slavery,” he said in a video. “That’s not who we need to be as a country, that’s not where we need to go, and we’re going to finish the job of making sure that America is about celebrating all Americans, an inclusive vision for a country and democracy that is for all of us.”

The Hungarian prime minister concedes to Péter Magyar, who is set to win a supermajority in the 199-seat parliament.

The order came in response to a motion from the defense attorneys for Roberto Carlos Muñoz-Guatemala, a man who Ross attempted to apprehend in a separate confrontation in June. After Ross broke a window in Muñoz-Guatemala’s car and fired his Taser, Muñoz-Guatemala drove away and was later convicted of dragging Ross with his car.

Muñoz-Guatemala’s defense attorney Eric Newmark praised the ruling as key to defending the rights of his client, but also important for public understanding of what transpired in the shooting of Good.

“My client is entitled to a full hearing and to review these documents to determine whether there’s any basis for a new trial,” Newmark told The Intercept. “Ultimately, we’re seeking dismissal of the charges against my client. This information is important because it will help me provide a full and complete defense.”
