kanye west and company sues Saint Pablo Tour insurers $10 million over cancellation of tour

Kanye West and his touring company have filed a $10 million lawsuit against Saint Pablo Tour insurers after canceling several shows. In court documents obtained by E! News, the rapper's team is alleging breach of contract and breach of good faith and fair dealing. "More than eight months later, the insurers have neither paid on the multi-million dollar claim nor denied the claim," Kanye's team writes in court documents. "Nor have they provided anything approaching a coherent explanation about why they have not paid, or any indication if they will ever pay or even make a coverage decision." 

Lawyer Howard King wrote in court papers: "They [have not] provided anything approaching a coherent explanation about why they have not paid, or any indication if they will ever pay or even make a coverage decision, implying that Kanye's use of marijuana may provide them with the basis to deny the claim."
According to legal papers, the 40-year-old spent "hundreds of thousands of dollars" on insurance with Lloyd's to cover the costs of a cancellation but hasn't received any payment yet. Kanye's Saint Pablo Tour was set to run until 31 December but was called off after the rapper spent eight days in a neuropsychiatric centre at UCLA in Los Angeles. Mr King, who represents Kanye West's company, denies any allegations that cannabis use led to his "serious, debilitating medical condition" as an "unsupportable contention".

Kanye West was admitted to hospital after a series of erratic comments on stage last November, including alleging that JAY-Z was sending hitmen to kill him and ranting that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg hadn't paid his $53m (£40m) debt. The rapper also told an audience in California that he hadn't voted in the US election but would have backed Donald Trump.

General strike turns into violence as two protesters were killed!!!

For more than two years, Venezuela has struggled with a massive economic collapse that has triggered acute food shortages, a lack of medical care and rampant inflation. NPR's Planet Money calls the disaster, caused by government decisions and triggered by a drop in oil prices, an "economic horror story." A political crisis soon followed. Protesters called for the resignation of Maduro, who is now deeply unpopular. But instead of stepping down, Maduro accumulated more and more power. Empty streets, makeshift barricades, burning tires, signs scrawled with "No to dictatorship": Protests continue on the streets of Venezuela as a 24-hour general strike takes hold, the latest development in an ongoing political and economic crisis. Some citizens are trying to go to work despite the shutdown of public transportation; others are taking to blockaded streets in protest.
