	Description:		Memphis authorities released video footage of the violent arrest of Tyre Nichols, who was pulled over during a traffic stop on Jan. 7 and died three days later. The release of the videos triggered nationwide protests over the weekend, and led to Memphis police disbanding the so-called SCORPION crime unit, whose officers are accused of murdering Nichols. And in headlines: Utah became the first state this year to pass a ban on gender-affirming healthcare for trans youth, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Israel amid a surge in Israeli-Palestinian violence, and Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin spoke out publicly for the first time since his on-field collapse.
