Description: A manhunt is underway in New York City for the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. He was shot and killed on a busy Midtown Manhattan street in a targeted early morning attack.

And despite saying that he wouldn't do so, President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter, this week for federal crimes.

Also this week, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law. The move was rejected by the parliament and reversed by the president six hours later. His political future hangs in limbo.

And rebel groups now control significant parts of the Syrian cities of Aleppo and Hama, forcing government forces to retreat.
