Peak Syrian bloodshed as peace talks stall in Geneva
More than 230 people die daily in Syria over three weeks of fighting, activists say, with Assad forces and Hezbollah pressing the Yabroud border town. The UN counts over 130,000 dead, including civilians, as peace talks falter and calls for a cease fire grow louder amid strategic gains and stalled negotiations.

Relatives urge 35-year minimum for juvenile first degree murder
Victims' relatives told a Senate panel to require a 35 year prison term before release for juveniles who commit first degree murder. Senator Rob Hogg signaled his panel will not back mandatory minimums, preferring judicial discretion with individualized factors. County attorneys and corrections officials argued 35 years may be unconstitutional and earned time could shorten release timelines.

Senate proposal could leave Toledo without Juvenile Home
A bipartisan Senate plan would create a state run facility for delinquent girls and remove Toledo as a required location. The move angers Toledo representatives and Branstad critics who say location matters while advocates push a safe, modern approach and cite past court rulings.
