A shooter’s gun jammed in the process of attempting to assassinate Argentina’s vice president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. Supporters had been demonstrating outside her home since last week, when a prosecutor called for a 12-year prison sentence in connection to corruption charges during her tenure as president. Also, inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency have vowed to remain a “continued presence” at the Ukrainian nuclear power plant that sits in the middle of a war zone. And on Saturday, NASA will make its second attempt to launch its new moon rocket. Plus, a hummus festival in Berlin brings together Israelis, Palestinians, refugees from Syria and Germans to celebrate the much-loved dip, in defiance of gloomy headlines from the Middle East.
