A photo of US President Donald Trump, removed from the cache of Jeffrey Epstein files released by the Department of Justice has been restored, after officials determined none of Epstein's victims were in the image, the department said.

Nine people were killed and 10 wounded in an early morning shooting in a township south-west of Johannesburg and authorities have launched a manhunt for the suspects.

The US has intercepted an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela in international waters, a move that comes just days after US President Donald Trump announced a "blockade" of all sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela.

The thousands of documents released by the US Justice Department related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were filled with the names of some of the world's most famous people, with one notable exception: President Donald Trump.

The US Justice Department has released thousands of heavily redacted documents related to Jeffrey Epstein that make scant reference to President Donald Trump but extensively feature former President Bill Clinton.

The gunman who killed two Brown University students in the United States remains at large, and there is no indication that authorities have grown closer to identifying the suspect four days after the attack.
