    It was a long day for former President Donald Trump, as he traveled from Trump Tower in midtown to the Manhattan Criminal Court, where he surrendered to law enforcement and learned the exact charges he faces for alleged hush money payments. And it was a long day for everyone else touched by the event, from supporters to opponents to lawyers, police and preachers.

    The notoriously outspoken former president slipped in and out of the courthouse quietly in a black SUV. The crowd in lower Manhattan displayed their anger or approval before fixing their eyes on the sight of one of the most famous men in America, who was once president of the United States and who is now running to be president again, turning himself in for arrest.

    Photographer Yunghi Kim spent the day with the crowds, and her photos captured the spectacle that even the former president called “surreal.”

    Over 17,000 weapons surrendered under Australian gun amnesty

    Canberra: More than 17,000 weapons were surrendered in the first year of Australia’s permanent national firearms amnesty, the government revealed on Saturday.

    The government released the first annual report on the amnesty program, which allows Australians to hand in unregistered, illegal or unwanted weapons without facing punishment, revealing 17,543 weapons were surrendered in the first 12 months, reports Xinhua news agency.

    The permanent amnesty was set up in mid-2021 following temporary programs in the wake of the Port Arthur massacre in 1996 and again in 2017.

    According to the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission, there are approximately 260,000 illicit firearms in circulation in Australia.

    Among the weapons handed in between July 2021 and June 2022 were 8,140 rifles, 2,896 shotguns and 789 pistols.

    “It is an important measure to reduce the number of firearms circulating in our community, and keep Australians safe,” the country’s Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said on Saturday.
