Newsweek

Newsweek magazine has a long-standing tradition of providing readers with the most updated information on the most pressing issues affecting our nation and world today. Newsweek is able to fill the gaps when a story has passed and is able to come up with insight or synthesis that connects the cracking, confusing digitals dots in today's fast paced news cycle.

Not Guilty • On November 19, the fourth day of deliberations, a jury acquitted Kyle Rittenhouse, 18, of all charges in his trial for shooting three men, two of whom died, during demonstrations in Kenosha in August 2020. The protests were in response to the police shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, which was captured on cellphone video and came just three months after the killing of George Floyd. Prosecutors argued Rittenhouse, armed with a semiautomatic rifle, acted needlessly and recklessly; he claimed it was self defense.

As chocolate has grown more widespread, cultures around the world have put their own spins on the delicacy.
