(Reuters) - The man accused of wounding two policemen during a protest rally outside the Ferguson, Missouri, police headquarters last week appeared in court briefly on Monday and did not enter a plea to charges that could bring up to life in prison. The shooting was the latest violent incident in months of demonstrations in Ferguson, a St. Louis suburb, after a white police officer fatally shot unarmed black teen Michael Brown during a confrontation in August. Jeffrey L. Williams, 20, has admitted to firing the shots that wounded the officers early Thursday and told authorities he was not shooting at police, Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch said on Sunday after announcing the arrest.

Posted: 16 Mar 2015 04:18 PM PDT

Russian President Vladimir Putin smiles as he attends a meeting in Saint Petersburg, on March 16, 2015Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday laughed off days of frenzied "rumours" over his health and whereabouts as he reappeared in public after an unusually long 10-day absence. Emerging after days of speculation that he was either ill or had even been deposed in a palace coup, Putin met with the leader of ex-Soviet Kyrgyzstan just outside Saint Petersburg. The typically tardy Putin was two hours late but showed up looking relaxed with no visible signs of ill-health, quelling the rumours that had nevertheless highlighted the fragility of Russia's tightly-controlled political system dominated by one man. "We would be bored if there were no rumours," Putin said as he met Kyrgyzstan's President Almazbek Atambayev at the sumptuous Konstantinov's Palace outside Saint Petersburg.

The police cruiser of Watertown Police Officer Joseph Reynolds is seen with the blood of Tamerlan Tsarnaev on the street, after a gunfight with police in this undated handout evidence photoBy Scott Malone BOSTON (Reuters) - The accused Boston Marathon bombers tossed bombs and fired a pistol at police in their final hours on the run before a dazed and wounded Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found hiding in a drydocked boat and arrested, witnesses testified on Monday. Tsarnaev, 21, is accused of killing three people and wounding 264 with a pair of homemade bombs at the race's crowded finish line on April 15, 2013, and of fatally shooting a police officer three nights later, setting off a fierce gunfight with police and daylong manhunt through the suburb of Watertown. Defense attorneys opened his case early this month by bluntly admitting the younger Tsarnaev committed all the crimes he is charged with, but attempted to paint his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan, as the driving force behind the attacks. "I looked outside and I could see guns firing," the man, James Foley, testified at U.S. District Court in Boston.

"First of all, it shouldn't be young people's biggest priority," Obama said in the interview, posted at https://news.vice.com/ "Young people: I understand this is important to you, but as you be thinking about climate change, the economy and jobs, war and peace, maybe way at the bottom you should be thinking about marijuana," Obama said. Obama has long said he supports decriminalizing marijuana but not legalizing the drug.
