AP Trending SummaryBrief at 6:46 p.m. ESTA Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja, on Wednesday, barred human rights activist and lawyer, Dele Farotimi, from further publishing, selling, circulating, advertising, or distributing the hard or soft copies of his book, ‘Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System’. A similar order was issued by an Oyo State High Court, which also granted an interim order restraining Farotimi or any person acting through him from further printing the controversial book. The activist lawyer is currently embroiled in a legal battle over the controversial book. The police have arraigned Farotimi before the Federal High Court in Ekiti State as well as an Ekiti State Magistrates’ Court, Ado-Ekiti. The charges border on defamation and cyberbullying, stemming from a petition by legal luminary and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Aare Afe Babalola, who alleged that Farotimi defamed him in his book. According to the police, Farotimi, in the book, accused Babalola and other SANs of corrupting Justices of the Supreme Court. Following his arraignment in court, Farotimi has been remanded in prison. On Wednesday, Justice Peter Kekemeke in Abuja heard an ex parte application filed by the Managing Partner at Afe Babalola’s law firm, Kehinde Ogunwumiju (SAN), praying for the seizure of the controversial book. In granting Ogunwumiju’s prayers, the judge barred “the agents, publishers, distributors, sellers, re-publishers, re-sellers, or any other person from further publishing, selling, circulating, advertising, or distributing the physical/hard/digital/soft copies of the book online, electronically, physically or by any other means, including the social media.” The judge also granted an order of interim injunction “directing the seizure of all physical copies of the book, wherever they may be found by the Nigeria Police Force, the State Security Service, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and all other security agencies.” Related News Farotimi: Police allege witnesses intimidation, oppose bail application Human Rights Day: Farotimi’s detention signals impunity, rights violations - Atiku VIDEO: Alleged defamation: Dele Farotimi appears at Ado-Ekiti Magistrate court The order was granted pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice for interlocutory injunction dated and filed on December 6, 2024. The court also ordered that relevant security agencies should file an affidavit demonstrating compliance with the orders within 72 hours of their receipt of the ruling. In a similar development, an Oyo State High Court granted an interim order restraining Farotimi or any person acting through him from further printing the controversial book. The order was granted by Justice Mufutau Adegbola following an ex parte application made by Adebayo Adenipekun, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, on behalf of Afe Babalola law firm. The motion for an interlocutory injunction in this case is scheduled for hearing on January 7, 2025. Operatives of the Nigerian Police reportedly arrested Farotimi on December 2 as criticisms continued to trail the style of his arrest. He was picked up by the police in Lagos and transported to Ekiti State, where he appeared before a magistrate’s court on Wednesday, December 4. The Chief Magistrates’ Court in the Ado Ekiti Division, on Wednesday, ordered his remand in the state’s correctional centre. Farotimi was arraigned over alleged defamation of character following the allegation in his book that a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Afe Babalola, had compromised the Supreme Court.Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has explained why star Gabriel Magalhaes had to be substituted at half-time in Saturday's swashbuckling 5-2 win against West Ham . In-form centre-back Gabriel opened the scoring for the Gunners with just 10 minutes on the clock, heading home a Bukayo Saka corner to notch his second goal in as many games. Arsenal scored four more while West Ham pulled two back in a chaotic first half, but Gabriel didn't remerge for the second period. The Brazilian was replaced by Jakub Kiwior, who helped see out the Gunners' fourth win by a margin of three or more goals in the space of eight days. Post-match, Arteta was asked about Gabriel's condition and revealed that he'd suffered a reoccurrence of an injury picked up against Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday. "It was related to the previous injury that he had in Lisbon," the Arsenal boss told reporters. "Obviously he did great to be part of that but with that result and with the niggle that he's feeling, we decided to take him off." Arteta was also asked about star man Saka as well as Riccardo Calafiori, who were both taken off in the second half. "He's fine. He's fine. No problem," the Arsenal boss said of Saka, who scored one goal and registered three assists. "Ricci, he's been with little niggles in the last few weeks. "Obviously he had a very serious knee injury and he's doing really well, but we have to manage his minutes and today we have to do the same." On the overall performance, Arteta hailed: "It was a spectacular 30 minutes. Straight away, how much the team wanted it, the purpose, the determination, the quality that we deliver, to score three great goals in different ways and then score the fourth one in a great way as well. Will Arsenal continue their hot streak against Manchester United? Have your say in the comments section . "But then after that, we had a period where the individual quality of them play a big part. 4-2, and then it's game on, you can sense the energy change and then what's next. I think it’s great to score the fifth one because that calmed everything down. For the second half, we could play a very different game, that it was much more suited to us." He was also greatly pleased with the substitutes who replaced Gabriel, Saka and Calafiori. "Very important, we had an issue with Gabi, we have an issue with Ricky as well, yesterday we lost Thomas [Partey] and Mikel [Merino] and Myles [Lewis-Skelly] which was very bad news but what I'm really happy about is Jakub has to come in, he does really well," Artet added. " Alex [Zinchenko] the same, Jorginho , I thought he was exceptional today as well. That's the level, every three days we're going to need everybody at their best and it’s a good sign that the team can do that."

The new president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, has appointed Kimberly Ann Guilfoyle, the ex-girlfriend of his eldest son Donald Trump Jr., as ambassador to Greece. PUBLICIDAD “I am pleased to announce the appointment of Kimberly Guilfoyle as the United States Ambassador to Greece. For many years, Kimberly has been a close friend and ally. Her extensive experience and leadership in the fields of law, media, and politics, along with her sharp intellect, make her highly qualified to represent the United States and safeguard its interests abroad,” Trump announced on Tuesday through his social network Truth Social. PUBLICIDAD Kimberly Ann Guilfoyle is a lawyer and prosecutor, and she is also known for being a television personality in the United States. She got engaged to Trump's eldest son in 2020. Three months ago, Daily Mail published photos of Donald Jr. holding hands with socialite Bettina Anderson in Palm Beach, Florida. When journalists asked Guilfoyle about this, she appeared surprised and said she didn't know. However, the alleged rift between the lawyer and her eldest son has not been an obstacle for Donald Trump to appoint her to his cabinet. It is evident that she has always gotten along well with her former daughter-in-law. "The new elected president said, 'Kimberly is perfectly qualified to foster strong bilateral relationships with Greece, promoting our interests in matters ranging from defense cooperation to trade and economic innovation.'" New Ambassador to Greece, appointed by Donald Trump Before her appointment as the new United States Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Ann Guilfoyle spoke out on her X account, stating that " it is an honor for me to accept President Trump's nomination to serve as the next Ambassador to Greece and I look forward to obtaining the support of the United States Senate. President Trump's historic victory brings hope and optimism to the American people and freedom-loving allies around the world ". He added that "it was the democratic values born in Greece that helped shape the foundation of the United States, and now we have the opportunity to honor that history by bringing better days here at home and abroad. As ambassador, I hope to fulfill Trump's agenda, support our Greek allies, and usher in a new era of peace and prosperity." Kimberly Ann Guilfoyle and her relationship with Donald Trump's eldest son Kimberly Ann Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Jr. got engaged in December 2020. Media reports suggest that four months later, they bought a $15.5 million mansion located by the sea in Jupiter, Florida. Although after Donald Jr. was photographed with Bettina Anderson, he continued to appear in public with Guilfoyle, the Daily Mail pointed out that they have not been seen together since November 12 and are no longer living together.Tupac’s “How Do U Want It” Sparks Controversial Dance ChallengeSAN FRANCISCO — A former OpenAI researcher known for whistleblowing the blockbuster artificial intelligence company facing has died, authorities confirmed this week. Suchir Balaji, 26, was found dead inside his Buchanan Street apartment on Nov. 26, San Francisco police and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said. Police had been called to the Lower Haight residence at about 1 p.m. that day, after receiving a call asking officers to check on his well-being, a police spokesperson said. The medical examiner’s office has not released his cause of death, but police officials this week said there is “currently, no evidence of foul play.” Information he held was expected to play a key part in lawsuits against the San Francisco-based company. Balaji’s death comes three months after he publicly accused OpenAI of violating U.S. copyright law while developing ChatGPT, a generative artificial intelligence program that has become a moneymaking sensation used by hundreds of millions of people across the world. Its public release in late 2022 spurred a torrent of lawsuits against OpenAI from authors, computer programmers and journalists, who say the company illegally stole and elevate its value past $150 billion. The Mercury News and seven sister news outlets are among several newspapers, including the New York Times, to sue OpenAI in the past year. In published Oct. 23, Balaji argued OpenAI was harming businesses and entrepreneurs whose data were used to train ChatGPT. “If you believe what I believe, you have to just leave the company,” he told the outlet, adding that “this is not a sustainable model for the internet ecosystem as a whole.” Balaji grew up in Cupertino before attending UC Berkeley to study computer science. It was then he became a believer in the potential benefits that artificial intelligence could offer society, including its ability to cure diseases and stop aging, the Times reported. “I thought we could invent some kind of scientist that could help solve them,” he told the newspaper. But his outlook began to sour in 2022, two years after joining OpenAI as a researcher. He grew particularly concerned about his assignment of gathering data from the internet for the company’s GPT-4 program, which analyzed text from nearly the entire internet to train its artificial intelligence program, the news outlet reported. The practice, he told the Times, ran afoul of the country’s “fair use” laws governing how people can use previously published work. In late October, he posted arguing that point. No known factors “seem to weigh in favor of ChatGPT being a fair use of its training data,” Balaji wrote. “That being said, none of the arguments here are fundamentally specific to ChatGPT either, and similar arguments could be made for many generative AI products in a wide variety of domains.” Reached by this news agency, Balaji’s mother requested privacy while grieving the death of her son. In a Nov. 18 letter filed in federal court, attorneys for The New York Times named Balaji as someone who had “unique and relevant documents” that would support their case against OpenAI. He was among at least 12 people — many of them past or present OpenAI employees — the newspaper had named in court filings as having material helpful to their case, ahead of depositions. Generative artificial intelligence programs work by and using it to answer prompts submitted by users, or to create text, images or videos. When OpenAI released its ChatGPT program in late 2022, it turbocharged an industry of companies seeking to write essays, make art and create computer code. Many of the most valuable companies in the world now work in the field of artificial intelligence, or manufacture the computer chips needed to run those programs. OpenAI’s own value nearly doubled in the past year. News outlets have argued that OpenAI and Microsoft — which is in business with OpenAI also has been sued by The Mercury News — have plagiarized and stole its articles, undermining their business models. “Microsoft and OpenAI simply take the work product of reporters, journalists, editorial writers, editors and others who contribute to the work of local newspapers — all without any regard for the efforts, much less the legal rights, of those who create and publish the news on which local communities rely,” the newspapers’ lawsuit said. OpenAI has staunchly refuted those claims, stressing that all of its work remains legal under “fair use” laws. “We see immense potential for AI tools like ChatGPT to deepen publishers’ relationships with readers and enhance the news experience,” the company said when the lawsuit was filed.

Kartik Aaryan Spends Quality Time With ‘Sea, Sand And Sun’Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 - Story TrailerBlack Kos, Year In Review
GUEST VIEWPOINT: Is bird flu a risk yet to people?Here are five self-hosted photo storage options for you to consider. SEE: The definition of open source can be controversial, with some commercial models claiming the title. NextCloud This open-source project offers a mobile app and auto-upload feature. You can also use it as the host for other photo management apps. Plus, it can host non-photos like documents, calendars, and contacts. Photoprism This open-source app uses Google TensorFlow to automatically classify images. It extracts location data, detects duplicates, and can sync with Nextcloud. Piwigo This open-source photo gallery software offers geolookup and multi-user support. Its album features are great, including batch management, album hierarchies, and more. It also has a mobile app. Lychee This open-source photo gallery app has excellent album and metadata-editing features. But, of course, its gallery features are where it does its best work. Just be aware that it doesn’t have any machine learning for auto-detection. LibrePhotos Like most tools named Libre , LibrePhotos is a fork. In this case, it’s a fork of OwnPhotos that enables object detection, face training, and event-based album generation. LibrePhotos also integrates with NextCloud. Self-hosted photo storage provides albums, sharing, and automatic facial recognition — all the tools you’d get from that cloud provider that suddenly wants to charge you while still gathering your data for its ad targeting. If you have the space on your computer or server, you can self-host your own photos in no time. What is a self-hosted photo and video gallery? A self-hosted photo and video gallery allows users to store and share media on their own hardware or virtual server. It provides an alternative to smartphone photo apps or social media. What are the system requirements for hosting my photo gallery? Different self-hosted photo galleries have different requirements. Most services will have documentation available. Nextcloud, for instance, offers cloud hosting as part of some of its plans. Photo hosting generally doesn’t require a lot of RAM — PhotoPrism can be installed on a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4 GB of RAM. LibrePhotos requires 10 GB of HDD Space to operate through Docker Compose. Megan Crouse updated this article.
LSU outlasts UCF 109-102 in triple-OT affairContent warning: This story discusses allegations of sexual assault. Roger Goodell is responding to recent allegations against Jay-Z . The NFL commissioner shared an update on the organization's partnership with the rapper for the forthcoming Super Bowl three days after it was revealed that Jay-Z—whose real name is Shawn Carter —was accused in a civil lawsuit of raping a 13-year-old girl alongside Sean "Diddy" Combs . "We’re aware of the civil allegation, and Jay-Z’s really strong response to that," Goodell said during a Dec. 11 press conference. "And we know that obviously litigation is happening now. But from our standpoint, our relationship is not changing with them, including our preparation for the next Super Bowl." And the 65-year-old provided insight into why the NFL plans to continue evolving its collaboration with Carter's Roc Nation company, which was brought into the organization to executive produce the Super Bowl Halftime Show and help with the league’s social justice program Inspire Change. "They’re getting incredibly comfortable with not just the Super Bowl but other events that they’ve helped us on and helped us with," Goodell continued. "They’ve been helpful in the social justice area to us on many occasions." He added, "They’ve been great partners that have provided a lot of value for us." Three days before Goodell's update, an accuser—identified anonymously as "Jane Doe"—refiled a sexual assault civil lawsuit that she originally filed against Combs in October , this time adding Carter as an additional defendant in the case. In the document, she alleged that the two music moguls raped her at a house party in 2000 following the MTV Video Music Awards in New York. Hours after news broke that he was named in the suit, Carter—who has since filed a motion to reveal the accuser's identity —denied her allegations in an emotional statement addressed to the accuser's lawyer Tony Buzbee . "These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!!" Carter said in a statement shared to X Dec. 8 . "Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree? These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case." Closing out his message, the "Empire State of Mind" rapper—who shares kids Blue Ivy , 12, and twins Rumi and Sir , 6, with wife Beyoncé —shared that his "only heartbreak" is for his family. "My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims," he said, "and explain the cruelty and greed of people." As for Combs—who is currently in jail, awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges, to which he's plead not guilty —the Bad Boy Records founder also denies any wrongdoing in the case, which marks one of several sexual abuse civil lawsuits filed against him in recent months. "Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process," his lawyers told E! News in October. "In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone—adult or minor, man or woman." (E! and NBC News are part of the NBCUniversal family.) Read on for more info about Combs' federal case... Search Warrants Executed on Sean "Diddy" Combs' L.A. and Miami Properties Federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) executed search warrants at Sean “Diddy” Combs ’ Los Angeles and Miami properties on March 25, multiple law enforcement sources confirmed to NBC News . The sources told the outlet the warrant was out of the Southern District of New York, and a spokesperson for HSI New York confirmed to E! News it “executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners.” Law enforcement sources told NBC News the music mogul was in the Miami area when the search warrants were executed. News about the investigation broke after Combs faced allegations of sexual misconduct in lawsuits filed by multiple accusers starting in November, with the musician denying the allegations. “Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday,” he wrote in a December statement posted on Instagram . “Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.” Diddy’s Attorney Speaks Out The day after HSI executed the search warrants at Combs' L.A. and Miami properties, his lawyer spoke out . "Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs' residences," attorney Aaron Dyer said in a March 26 statement to E! News. "There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated." Dyer noted Combs “was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities.” “Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way,” his lawyer's statement continued. “This unprecedented ambush—paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence—leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.” And Dyer expressed Combs' intent to defend himself. “There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations,” he added. “Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.” Details About the Raid Revealed As for what actually went down during the searches, multiple law enforcement sources familiar with the warrant told NBC News authorities with the Department of Homeland Security seized phones from Combs’ home in Miami before he was scheduled to travel to the Bahamas, and several sources familiar with the matter added that guns were discovered during the search . One source familiar with the matter also told NBC News three women and one man were interviewed by prosecutors and investigators from the Southern District of New York about allegations of sex trafficking, sexual assault, the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms purportedly tied to Combs. Diddy’s Associate Brendan Paul Arrested on Suspicion of Drug Possession On the same day the search warrants were executed at Combs’ Miami and Los Angeles properties, one of his associates, Brendan Paul , was arrested by the Miami-Dade police on suspicion of drug possession, a law enforcement source familiar with the matter told NBC News . According to the Miami-Dade arrest affidavit obtained by the outlet, Paul was taken into custody for allegedly possessing suspected cocaine and suspected marijuana candy. Prison records obtained by NBC News show Paul was released on March 26 after posting bond. “We do not plan on trying this case in the media,” Paul’s attorney Brian Bieber said in a statement obtained by the outlet, “all issues will be dealt with in court.” In May, Paul accepted a plea deal, with his lawyer Bieber telling People , "Brendan accepted the prosecutor’s offer to permit his entry into the diversion program which, after completion, the case against him will be dismissed in its entirety." Diddy Arrested in New York He was arrested in the lobby of a New York hotel on Sept. 16, 2024, according to NBC News. It's unclear what Combs has been charged with and if the arrest has any potential connection to the raids. “We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office," his lawyer Marc Agnifilo said in a statement to E! News. "He is an imperfect person but Is not criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges." Diddy Charged With Sex Trafficking & Racketeering After Combs was arrested based on the sealed indictment, the indictment was unsealed on Sept. 17. The 54-year-old was charged with racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; as well as transportation to engage in prostitution, according to court documents obtained by NBC News. The indictment alleged Combs “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct” for more than a decade, with prosecutors saying the purported behavior started around 2008. "To do so," the documents stated, "Combs relied on the employees, resources, and influence of the multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled—creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice." According to NBC News , Combs pleaded not guilty and was denied bail . “He’s going to fight this with all of his energy and all of his might,” his attorney Marc Agnifilo told reporters outside the courthouse prior to the arraignment, “and the full confidence of his lawyers." Diddy Is Held Without Bail in New York Facility Following his arrest, Combs was held at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center where he was denied a $50 million bond. The music mogul was also placed on suicide watch, which a source told E! News is a customary procedure for high-profile inmates. He was since taken off. He was assigned the same area of the jail as cryptocurrency fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried, a source told NBC News. Comedian Jeff Wittek Says He Attended "Freak Off" Comedian Jeff Wittek , 34, came forward Sept. 29 to say he attended one of Diddy's "freak off" parties around 2010 in a Miami mansion. "It was like eight stories high and it just kept going up," Wittek said on Jeff FM , "and the higher you went, the weirder s--t was going on." " I saw live sex happen that night," he continued. "That's the first time I saw that happen ever in my life. And did I partake? No, but I got f--king drunk there." As Wittek put it, "It's just crazy. I was literally there. I lived through it." Diddy Accused of 120 New Sexual Assault Cases In an Oct. 1 press conference, attorney Tony Buzbee detailed that 120 people had come forward with new sexual assault allegations against the rapper. The allegations against Combs, Buzbee noted in a press conference with NBC News, include, "violent sexual assault or rape, facilitated sex with a controlled substance, dissemination of video recordings, sexual abuse of minors." A lawyer for the rapper, Erica Wolff , later responded to the allegations, emphasizing that Combs maintains his innocence. “He cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus," she said. " That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors." Diddy Accused of Abusing Minors One of the 120 accusers was only 9 years old when they were allegedly assaulted by Combs, their lawyer Tony Buzbee said in an Oct. 1 press conference, per NBC News. According to the attorney, “25 of the accusers were minors at the time of the alleged incidents." Diddy's Mom Janice Small Combs Defends the Rapper “It is heartbreaking to see my son judged not for the truth, but for a narrative created out of lies,” Janice’s attorney Natlie G. Figgers shared in a statement on her behalf to The Hollywood Reporter Oct. 6. “To bear witness what seems to be like a public lynching of my son before he has had the opportunity to prove his innocence is a pain too unbearable to put into words. Like every human being, my son deserves to have his day in court, to finally share his side, and to prove his innocence.” Beyoncé and Jay-Z's Lawyer Calls Out Piers Morgan Over Diddy Comparisons Beyoncé and Jay-Z 's lawyer spoke out after Piers Morgan 's TV guest Jaguar Wright claimed the couple had more “victims” than Diddy. "There’s rumors, and then there’s nonsense, and this is one step further,” lawyer Alex Spiro told TMZ Oct. 9. “This is a formal and pointed accusation of something.” Their attorney told Piers to “remove that false accusation," which the host later did and apologized. “As I noted in the moment," Piers said on his Oct. 8 show, "they were not present to respond or defend themselves. But now they have: their lawyer has contacted us to say those claims are totally false and have no basis in fact.”
