	In Kenya, flash flooding in the Mombasa region claims at least 21 lives. The Kenyan Red Cross claims 60,000 people have been made homeless.
	The European Union has renewed diplomatic sanctions for Uzbekistan. The sanctions, which have been violated repeatedly by the governments of Britain and Germany, prohibit the sale of weapons to the Uzbek government and visits from EU officials to Uzbekistan or vice versa. The sanctions were originally implemented after the Uzbek government would not allow an international investigation into the terrorist uprising in Andijan.

The change was required by a constitutional court, which ruled last year that the current marriage law unconstitutionally discriminated on the basis of sexual orientation.
	The UCLA Taser incident occurs when student Mostafa Tabatabainejad is stunned with a Taser multiple times, prompting public outcry.
