And, Sean Combs was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, but on the more serious charges, the jury found him not guilty.

Newshour - Jury delivers verdicts in trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs
The US rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs is awaiting a bail decision after being found guilty on prostitution charges relating to his sex parties. He was cleared of three more serious charges including sex trafficking and racketeering. The closely-followed trial in New York lasted almost two months, featuring sometimes emotional testimony from more than 30 witnesses including his ex-partners. The courtroom heard lurid details about Mr Combs' so-called "freak-off" hotel sex parties that involved women including his girlfriends, male escorts and copious drug taking. Also in the programme: Ukraine wants answers from America over a scaling back of military aid, warning the move will embolden Russia; and the composer who has written a piece of music based on the movements of moths.

Consider This from NPR - Saving history one story at a time
This summer marks 80 years since the end of World War II when Allied forces liberated Nazi-occupied Europe, and also began to discover the horrific scale of the Holocaust.
An estimated six million Jews were systematically murdered by the Nazi regime.
With the passage of time, there are fewer and fewer survivors who can tell the stories of what they witnessed and endured.
Once fringe ideas of Holocaust denial are spreading. Multiple members of President Donald Trump's administration have expressed support for Nazi sympathizers and people who promote antisemitism.
The stories of those who lived through the Holocaust are in danger of being forgotten. And there's a race against time to record as many as possible.
In this episode, the story of a Jewish man who survived Buchenwald and an American soldier, who helped liberate the concentration camp.
