Start your day off right with five things you need to know this morning.

Five things you need to know

1. Accused Christchurch shooter pleads not guilty to all charges

Brenton Tarrant appeared in New Zealand’s High Court via video on Thursday to enter a plea regarding the March 15 terror attack on two Christchurch mosques. He pleaded not guilty to all 92 charges, which includes 51 charges of murder. He’ll now wait some time before his trial begins in May 2020.


2. Taylor Swift announces new album, drops single

Taylor Swift fans certainly had a good day on Thursday. The pop star announced that her new album Lover would be coming out later this summer, on Aug. 23, and she also shared one of the album’s singles. The song, “You Need To Calm Down,” addresses homophobia, pitting women against one another and more.


3. Cuba Gooding Jr. turns himself over to police

Cuba Gooding Jr. surrendered to the NYPD on Thursday after he was accused of groping a pair of women. One complaint was from this past weekend and it led to a second woman filing a similar complaint. The actor’s lawyer said Gooding Jr. is “frisky, but he’s not inappropriate.”


4. Warriors confirm Klay Thompson suffered a torn ACL

The Golden State Warriors received even more brutal injury news on Thursday. Three days after Kevin Durant’s major achilles injury, Klay Thompson went down in game six and was unable to return. The team has now confirmed that Thompson suffered a torn ACL, an injury that will likely keep him out for at least half of next season.


5. Iran rejects blame for suspected tanker attacks

There’s been a lot of finger pointing since a pair of oil tankers were reportedly attacked in the Gulf of Oman. Both the United States and the United Kingdom have directed a lot of that blame at Iran, but the country says it “categorically rejects” those claims.
