2. Dilbert comic strip dropped by US media over creator's racist tirade

- Many US newspapers including the Washington Post have dropped the long-running Dilbert cartoon strip after its creator made racist comments.

- In a video on YouTube, Scott Adams, who is white, said black Americans were part of a "hate group" and that white people should "get the hell away" from them.

3. Alex Murdaugh trial: Power, privilege, murder and the downfall of a dynasty

- For generations, the Murdaugh family dominated their rural swath of South Carolina - then Alex Murdaugh was accused of the brutal murders of his wife and son.

- What followed was the stunning unravelling of a life of power and privilege, exposing embezzlement, drug abuse and a failed hitman suicide plot.

- In the fifth week of his murder trial, Alex Murdaugh took the stand. Over nearly 10 hours testifying in his own defence, the crowded courtroom in Walterboro, South Carolina, would see two versions of Mr Murdaugh. One seemed tired, this voice lifting and thin. The other seemed much more like the man that other witnesses had described.
