CCTV footage captured the shocking moment when a double decker tourist bush smashed into a curb on the San Cristobal Hill near Lima on Sunday night, careening over the embankment and flipping over. At least nine people were killed and a further 57 injured when the double-decker tourist bus lost control and rolled off the road about a mile from a compound belonging to Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski. Several Canadians and a Chilean were among those injured after the open-top bus lost control and tipped over.

Having grudgingly green-lit the peaceful transfer of power, President Donald Trump is now perfectly poised to proceed with a parade of pardons. Trump has already commuted the sentence of his informal adviser Roger Stone. But what about Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, who is still in home confinement serving out his prison sentence? Even more to the point, what about Trump himself? Trump has repeatedly asked aides about pardons for himself and his family members--and whether he could issue them preemptively. CNN reports the question of self-pardoning may be moot. If Trump faces any criminal charges, they'll be at the state level, not federal. US Presidents are not immune from any state charges.
