SEOUL, May 7 (Reuters) - South Korea's former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo was sentenced on Thursday to 15 years in prison over charges including his role in the brief imposition of martial law in 2024, after a court of appeals reduced his earlier sentence of 23 years.

SOMERSET – A man injured in a two-vehicle accident outside Somerset is in stable condition.
Lancaster troopers responded to a crash at the intersection of Ohio 13 and Ohio 669 (in Reading Township), around 8:52 a.m. May 4, the Ohio State Highway Patrol told the Times Recorder.
The driver of a 2019 Dodge 2500, Andrew Fulk, 36, of Corning, was traveling northwest on Ohio 13, while Larry Runyon, 68, of Columbus, was traveling southeast in a 2006 Ford F-150.
Runyon failed to yield as he began a left turn onto 669 and was struck by Fulk, according to the patrol. The vehicles traveled off opposite sides of the road after the collision, and Runyon's truck veered into a guardrail.

Mary J. Bligeis stepping into a new chapter, and she says it's been a long time coming.
After more than three decades in music, theGrammy-winningartist is headlining her first-ever Las Vegas residency, a milestone she describes as both earned and deeply personal.
Speaking with ABC News' Robin Roberts, Blige called the moment a reflection of her journey.
"It's just time, you know? I'm where I'm supposed to be. I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. And I didn't give up," she said in the interview, which aired on"Good Morning America"Wednesday.
Known as the "Queen of Hip-HopSoul," Blige has long turned her personal struggles into powerful music.

From heartbreak to healing, her songs have resonated across generations, something she says still humbles her today.
"What I was trying to do was get myself through tough times," she said. "I had no idea I was getting other people through their tough times."
Fans often tell her that her music helped save their lives, she said, a sentiment that keeps her grounded.
"It keeps me humble to hear people say, 'Mary, your music saved my life,'" she said.

Her ability to channel vulnerability into art has been a defining trait of her career, particularly with albums like 1994's "My Life," which she still performs today. But she said revisiting those songs isn't always easy.
"'Not Gon' Cry' is always heavy. Even 'My Life' is heavy," she said. "When I perform any song from the 'My Life' album, it's heavy. Really dark times."
Now, Blige is bringing that emotional journey to the stage with her "My Life, My Story" residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas.
The show features some of her most beloved hits, guiding audiences through the highs and lows that shaped her career. It's a mix of celebration and reflection -- one she says audiences will feel deeply.
"They're gonna have fun. They're gonna dance. They might cry," she said.
Opening night included a standout moment, when Blige invited a fan onstage to join her signature "Mary Bop" dance -- a move she says was inspired by her roots growing up in Yonkers, New York.

Beyond the music, Blige said her current chapter is defined by growth and peace.
"I'm not mad at anyone," she said. "I forgave everybody that did whatever they did and moved on ... and now my life is elevating, because I just choose peace. Peace is, you know, not something we find, it's something we choose."
That mindset, she said, has helped her embrace this moment in her career -- one she sees as the reward for years of hard work.
"The next chapter is just enjoying the fruits of my labor," she added. "This residency is the fruit. This is what I've worked for. This is what I've earned. And I'm here."
