While covering the latest Israeli settler attack in the West Bank, Israeli soldiers assaulted my photojournalist @cyrilthps and detained my team. But our 2-hour detention revealed a lot about the motives of these Israeli soldiers: acting in service of the settler movement. W/ @AbeerSalmanCNN

Last night was spectacular!! I have never seen the #Auroraborealis so vivid with reds and purples. It started as we passed #Chicago at 39,000ft and lasted until the dawn over Ireland, when it turned purple. The pics are from my #iPhone15 with no editing or filters. This and meteors, and we had a front row seat in our #airbus. #space #pilot #avgeek #Canada #Ireland

EXCLUSIVE: CNN watched as Kenyan security forces shot dead at least 3 protesters outside the Kenyan parliament on Tuesday. I saw Ericsson Kyalo Mutisya, 25 dancing in white overalls. Shots rang out shortly after that and I saw his body. He wasn't the only one

This is a must-watch, exclusive report from CNN's Chief International Correspondent. Five years after the defeat of ISIS, more than 50,000 ISIS followers are being held in a constellation of US prisons and camps across Northeast Syria. @clarissaward gained extraordinary access to some of the facilities. A warning that you may find some of these images disturbing.
