Summary
A former Boeing whistleblower, John Barnett, was found dead this week of apparent self-inflicted wounds.
His lawyers told CNN they saw no indication as to why Barnett would take his own life and were devastated at the news.
Meanwhile in Haiti, Haiti's prime minister has announced his resignation amid rampant gang violence, a major jailbreak, and a state of emergency.
And we get to the latest in Gaza, where aid from around the world is finally flowing in. The World Food Programme successfully delivered food for 25,000 people.
We discuss all this and more during this episode of the Friday News Roundup.
