  1. The investigations into the assassination of former Haitian President Jovenel Moise took an unexpected twist on Tuesday, as the country's top prosecutor has sought charges against Prime Minister Ariel Henry following his alleged involvement in the assassination of Moise.

    Port-au-Prince prosecutor Bedford Claude also issued an order on Tuesday banning Henry from leaving Haiti.

    Henry was summoned to testify after the investigators confirmed a series of phone calls between him and Joseph Felix Badion, one of the three main suspects in the assassination. Badion, a former Haitian Justice Ministry official, is currently believed to be on the run.

    The prime minister has denied the accusations.
