A man has been arrested on live TV in the US state of Indiana after his four-year-old son, appearing to wear a nappy, was seen waving a gun. Shane Osborne, 45, was charged with neglect after neighbours reported a child in a hallway carrying what they believed to be a handgun, police said. The arrest was filmed on the TV show On Patrol: Live. The show aired surveillance video allegedly showing the boy playing with a weapon and even pulling the trigger. Mr Osborne initially told police there were no weapons in the house, claiming to have been been feeling ill all day and sleeping, Beech Grove Police told the BBC. “I don’t have a gun,” he tells police on the show, where Beech Grove officers are followed on shift. “I have never brought a gun into this house, if there is, it’s my cousin’s.” He added that he did not realise that his son had been outside in the hallway of the apartments. While the officers were still on the scene, a neighbour came forward to the officers with surveillance video. The video showed the young child in the hallway with what appeared to be a real firearm. Police then found the firearm in Mr Osborne’s apartment and he was arrested.(BBC)…[+]

Actor Kevin Spacey has received a lifetime achievement award in Italy. His award comes days after he appeared in a UK court to face seven charges of sexual assault against a man in the early 2000s. He denies the allegations. The Museum of Cinema in Turin said it handed the prize in recognition of Mr Spacey’s “personal aesthetic and authorial contribution to the development of the art of drama”. He thanked the museum for having the “balls” to present him with the award. Mr Spacey won Oscars for performances in American Beauty and The Usual Suspects, but has barely worked since being accused of sexual misconduct. He did not directly address the allegations at the ceremony, but delivered a speech saying he was “surely blessed and grateful and humbled”. “My heart is very full tonight toward the Museum of Cinema for having had le palle [the balls] to invite me tonight,” he said. The 63-year-old’s appearance at Southwark Crown Court in London on Friday was via video link for the plea and trial preparation hearing. The offences are alleged to have taken place between 2001 and 2005.(BBC)…[+]

The funeral of Kenyan LGBTQ activist Edwin Chiloba, who was smothered to death in a killing that caused outrage, is taking place at his family village. Hundreds are paying their last respects to him in Sergoit village on land he was supposed to inherit. Family spokesperson Gaudencia Tanui told the BBC the family was shocked by the social media vitriol directed at Chiloba’s relatives over his sexuality. It had left the family deeply hurt, she added. Ms Tanui said all the hate should not take away from the fact that a crime had been committed and justice must be served. Chiloba’s body was found earlier this month in a metal box dumped on the roadside near the western Kenyan town of Eldoret, where he was a student. Police have detained five suspects, including Chiloba’s partner, but none have been as yet charged. The murder drew global condemnation, with human rights groups linking it to his sexuality. But police have not done so, and have not yet given a motive for the killing.(BBC)…[+]
