Small, bomb, set off outside, US, Embassy, in Beijing: police,

-
A small bomb was set off outside the US Embassy in Beijing on Thursday, Chinese police said. The bomber, a 26-year-old man, was injured, according to the police. "There was one individual who detonated a bomb. Other than the bomber, there were no injuries. The local police responded," an embassy spokesperson said in a statement carried by CNN. It came after reports of an explosion or fire outside the embassy, in the northeast of the Chinese capital. Earlier Thursday, state media reported that woman sprayed gasoline on herself in a suspected self-immolation attempt outside the embassy. Photos posted on Twitter showed a large amount of smoke and what appeared to be police vehicles surrounding the building. Global Times, the ruling Communist Party’s newspaper, said police detained the woman and took her away at around 11 a.m. local time. China and the U.S. are in the middle of a trade dispute, but America remains a hugely popular destination for travel, education and immigration for Chinese citizens.

  Abiodun Adegoriolu the Alafin of Oyo, who reigned between C1750 - 1789 was the father of Olufi. Olufi migrated from Oyo with a large followers consequent upon the unrest that attended the death of Alaafin Abiodun in 1789. One tradition states that Olufi contested the throne of Oyo and lost. He then had to leave Oyo as tradition demanded. Another associates the migration of Olufi from Oyo with the general unrest that characterised the politics in Oyo after the demise of Alaafin Abiodun. This made Oyo metropolis not safe for peaceful existence, hence many citizens of Oyo followed Olufi as he migrated from Oyo. It is relevant here to stress that Olufi probably left Oyo after 1789. He took Igbori route. His entourage stayed there for some time. They then moved to Soungbe before they finally settled in Gbongan Ile.

More than 1,600 children separated from their parents at the border by the Trump administration are expected to be reunited by Thursday's court-ordered deadline, but now a battle is brewing over what should happen to them next. The ACLU says that government is preparing to quickly deport hundreds of families immediately after their reunification. In court briefs filed Wednesday, ACLU lawyers renewed arguments asking a federal judge to issue a stay blocking the government from deporting families for at least seven days. The ACLU argues parents who haven't seen their children in months need time to consult with lawyers to figure out their legal options, including whether they should fight their deportation, be deported together or accept deportation but leave their child behind with relatives in the U.S. to pursue asylum on their own.
