월드뉴스: 2015년 파리 테러: 프랑스 법원에서 20명 유죄 판결

Let's take a look at what's going on in 'The World Now'.

Twenty people were convicted by a French court on Wednesday, in connection to the 2015 Paris Attacks.
The attacks, which killed 130 and injured 494 people across bars, restaurants, and a concert hall in Paris in November 2015, were the deadliest attacks on the capital since World War Two.
Salah Abdeslam, the sole survivor of the 7 members who physically carried out the attacks was handed a life sentence without parole.
The 6 other members were tried in absentia, while the thirteen other defendants received prison sentences ranging from 2 to 30 years on lesser charges.
The court's conclusion follows a lengthy trial that began in September 2021 and involved 330 lawyers.

Twenty years after the first allegations came to light,... R&B singer R. Kelly has been sentenced to 30 years in prison on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
The singer was sentenced by a U.S. district court in Brooklyn on Wednesday.
It follows a 2021 jury conviction by a New York court that found the 55-year-old guilty on one charge of racketeering and eight counts of violations of the Mann Act, a sex trafficking law that bans the transporting of people across state lines.
Public outrage over the singer's sexual misconduct came in the wake of the MeToo movement and the release of the docuseries, "Surviving R. Kelly".

A shootout at a bank in Canada has left two gunmen dead and six police officers injured.
The incident occurred in the town of Saanich in British Colombia after two heavily armed gunmen entered a local bank on Tuesday.
They were both shot and killed after engaging with officers after exiting the building, with footage of the incident on social media showing dozens of shots fired during the confrontation.
Six officers sustained gunshot wounds and have been hospitalized, with two undergoing surgery.
Homes in the area were also evacuated after a possible explosive device was discovered in the gunmen's vehicle.

Outgoing Israeli Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett has said he will not run in the upcoming election slated for later this year.
Bennett made the announcement on Wednesday,... after last week announcing he would dissolve the parliament and hold what would be the country's fifth general election in four years.
Bennett added that he will retain his position as an alternate prime minister after coalition partner, Yair Lapid, takes the reins of the caretaker government.
No date has been set for the elections as final voting required for the dissolution of parliament has been met with disputes by opposition lawmakers.
