August 30, 2023: Hurricane Idalia made landfall in Florida, Ex-Proud Boys to be sentenced for Jan 6, Gabon coup, Ukraine, China-US
1. Millions of residents were evacuated or hunkered down in homes and bunkers as Hurricane Idalia made landfall in Florida's Big Bend region as an "extremely dangerous" Category 3 storm on Wednesday, and authorities warned a life-threatening storm surge was possible.
2. A U.S. judge will consider whether to impose the steepest sentence yet on two former leaders of the right-wing Proud Boys convicted of seditious conspiracy and other crimes for the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol by Donald Trump supporters.
3. Military officers in oil-producing Gabon said they had seized power on Wednesday and had put President Ali Bongo under house arrest, stepping in minutes after the Central African state's election body announced he had won a third term.
4. Ukrainian drones struck targets in at least six regions deep within Russia, including an airfield where they destroyed military transport planes, in one of the broadest volleys yet of Kyiv's campaign to turn the tables on Moscow.
5. U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo talked up American firms' desire to do business in China and her hopes for further engagement with Chinese officials on market access on Wednesday, after earlier comments over China being "uninvestible".
