The 2014 Sochi Olympics have been touched by more controversy as members of Russian activist group Pussy Riot have clashed with authorities. 

According to CBC, Cossack militia patrolling in Sochi quashed the start of a Pussy Riot performance Tuesday by attacking the group with whips. 

The day before, another two members of the group were detained and later released by police.

The Olympic Committee has released a statement saying that the games are not the place for these kinds of demonstrations.

Pussy Riot has gained international attention in recent years for protesting the government of President Vladimir Putin.

Some police officers in Toronto will begin sporting lapel cameras - as part of a new project approved by the City’s Police Chief, Bill Blair. 

That’s according to the Toronto Star, this move was announced on Tuesday, following a recommendation made in a 20-13 Community Engagement Report.

A successful study out of California showed that body cameras on front-line cops were seen to reduce incidents and complaints by 60 and 90 per cent respectively.

Some details about the project still need to be determined, such as the policy surrounding it and the budgetary constraints in Toronto’s police department.
