Former Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz on Thursday as about sexual relationships he had with a minor emerged. Gaetz had already announced his immediate resignation from Congress, but it’s possible he could take his seat in the next Congress in January. How would this work? First, Gaetz would have to rescind his intention to not take the seat that he won in November in the Congress that begins in January 2025. He officially from Congress on Nov. 13 when he submitted a letter declaring his resignation “effective immediately.” Adding, “I do not intend to take the oath of office for the same office in the 119th Congress.” There is no existing precedent for a member of Congress resigning from one session of Congress, but then taking the same seat they were elected to in the next. That makes this a bit murky — and there are for the situation. If Gaetz claimed that he now intends to take his seat in January, someone could sue to prevent him from doing so. That could be the Florida Secretary of State, who could claim that his resignation was official and the special election to fill his seat was already under way. It’s unclear how courts would rule in such a situation because it’s unprecedented.

Meanwhile, a Sunday Times staffer was Journalist of the Year winner for the second year in a row: Caroline Wheeler received the title for her work on the infected blood scandal, following in the footsteps of colleague Gabriel Pogrund in 2023. Judges said Wheeler was recognised for her work both over the previous year and over the course of a 23-year crusade in which she was instrumental in bringing about the public inquiry that began in 2017. Wheeler also won the Politics Journalism category for, the judges said, being “outstanding work which is the definition of public interest journalism”. The Sun won two of the most prestigious categories – Investigation of the Year and Scoop of the Year – for its work investigating the BBC and its most high-profile newsreader Huw Edwards. The awards were presented at a gala dinner hosted by BBC and Channel 5 presenter Jeremy Vine at the London Hilton Bankside on Thursday night. Other highlights included the posthumous recognition in the Public Service category for David Knowles, who spearheaded The Telegraph’s flagship Ukraine: The Latest podcast before his sudden death aged 32 in September. And two journalists reporting from inside Gaza for Channel 4 News and BBC Eye Investigations – Yousef Hammash and Feras Al Ajrami – jointly received the Marie Colvin Award given to outstanding up-and-coming journalists of the calibre of the Sunday Times correspondent who was killed in Syria in 2012. The 13th annual British Journalism Awards continued to celebrate journalism that showed skill and rigour, was revelatory and served the public interest. The 26 winners were whittled down from more than 750 entries and 170 finalists by an independent panel of 80 judges. The BBC was a big winner of the night across four categories through its different strands. Laura Kuenssberg was named Interviewer of the Year for interviews with Baroness Mone and Chancellor Rachel Reeves on her Sunday morning programme, a team from Radio 4 won the Crime & Legal Affairs Journalism category for their work tracking down a wanted people smuggler, and a Panorama team won Social Affairs, Diversity & Inclusion Journalism for revealing allegations of exploitation and abuse at fashion brand Abercrombie and Fitch. The BBC was also highly commended in four categories. Also recognised in four categories were The Times and Sunday Times: as well as Wheeler’s two prizes, Rosamund Urwin and Charlotte Wace won in Arts & Entertainment Journalism for their investigation into allegations against Russell Brand and Oliver Marsden won New Journalist of the Year for work from Israel and Lebanon for The Sunday Times and Al Jazeera. The publisher was further highly commended in three categories. The Economist was close behind with three wins: Duncan Robinson won the Comment Journalism category, while from its 1843 magazine Thomas Dworzak won Photojournalism and Amanda Chicago Lewis won Technology Journalism. The Sun was rewarded in two categories (Scoop and Investigation of the Year) for its work revealing allegations and then charges against Huw Edwards. The judges said: “Unmasking such a powerful figure and exposing not only how they abused their position but but how the BBC had failed to act was a huge act of public interest. This story required not just old-fashioned investigative techniques but sensitivity and judgement in how to handle and present the investigation.” Also winning two categories each were The Bureau of Investigative Journalism and The Guardian (which did not have any representation on the awards night due to the ongoing strike against the sale of The Observer to Tortoise). Nominated Guardian journalists shared a statement read out on the night which said: “We are so disappointed that we can’t be here with you tonight, but want to thank Press Gazette and the judges for shortlisting us and also pay tribute to our fellow nominees for their impressive work. From the picket lines, have a great night.” In his opening comments, Press Gazette editor-in-chief and chairman of the judges Dominic Ponsford said: “Artificial intelligence can do a lot, but it can’t go undercover in a prison, care home or school. It can’t be the eyes of the world, risking everything to report from war zones. And it can’t make the call to face down legal threats, despite the high costs, and decide to publish and be damned as so many of you have done over the last year. “Amid a sea of online content which can be filled with ‘made for advertising’ sewage, the work on display tonight reminds us all that real journalism is special, it does matter and it can make a difference. It is worth fighting for and protecting from the parasitical US tech giants who have been allowed to dominate and monopolise so much of our media and culture.” The awards were supported by headline sponsor Starling Bank along with Amazon and RenewableUK.

He exemplifies the fine art of balanced commentary.” WINNER: Simon Lock, Rob Davies and Jacob Steinberg — The Bureau of Investigative Journalism / The Guardian The judges said: “This was superb work which tenaciously pursued a story others seemed happy to forget, exposing the less salubrious machinations behind the lucrative world of football.” WINNER: Tom Pettifor, Matthew Young and Daniel Dove — Daily Mirror The judges said: “This was a compelling video report which revealed persuasive new evidence on one of the UK’s most high-profile unsolved murders, 25 years on.” Highly commended: Mohamed Ibrahim, Owen Pinnell, Mouna Ba, Wael El-Saadi and Feras Al Ajrami — BBC Eye Investigations The judges said: “A deeply compelling watch that captured brilliantly the plight of people in Gaza.” Highly commended: Reem Makhoul, Robert Leslie, Clancy Morgan, Amelia Kosciulek, Matilda Hay, Liz Kraker, Dorian Barranco, Barbara Corbellini Duarte, Erica Berenstein and Yasser Abu Wazna — Business Insider The judges said: “A highly polished and beautifully visualised piece of research about the effects of the war in Gaza.” WINNER: Emily Townsend — Health Service Journal The judges said: “A great range of stories tackling tough subjects, all well researched and genuinely impactful.” WINNER: Thomas Dworzak — 1843 magazine, The Economist The judges said: “A sensitive and deeply moving set of photos which reveal an untold story and provide a visual record of the human toll of geopolitical conflict.” WINNER: Harry Lewis-Irlam, Stephen Matthews, Darren Boyle and Rhodri Morgan — Mail Online: Deep Dive The judges said: “A clever way of conveying complex information without overwhelming the audience.

It is a conflict zone which has become the most deadly in history for the media, with 137 journalists and media workers killed in just over a year. “They’ve both captured the voice from the ground, shown tremendous courage in appalling circumstances and produced vivid, memorable stories. Whilst one chronicled the work of emergency crews working in Gaza during the first weeks of the conflict, the other winner covered the bombardment of Gaza even as his home was destroyed and he had to flee south with his family.” WINNER: Oliver Marsden — The Sunday Times/Al Jazeera The judges said: “This journalist has demonstrated huge courage reporting from dangerous areas. Vivid and compelling reporting.” WINNER: Sam McBride — Belfast Telegraph The judges said: “Sam is a proper journalistic pain in the arse for those in power.

Highly commended: Joshua Nelken-Zitser, Ida Reihani and Kit Gillet — Business Insider The judges said this was a “wide-ranging investigation into a largely untold story in one of the most secretive parts of the world”.

Journalism which overcame a culture of silence and intimidation.” WINNER: Vanessa Bowles and Jaber Badwan — Channel 4 Dispatches The judges said: “This was the most startling and compelling of many entries from the Israel/Gaza conflict, exposing the true cost of war. It was impossible not to be moved by the children’s stories of life inside Gaza.” Highly commended: Kim Sengupta — The Independent The judges wanted to recognise the “late, great” Kim Sengupta who died in July aged 68. They said: “Typically vivid reporting from Kim Sengupta, one of the finest foreign correspondents of our time. As always he was at the sharp end of the story, bringing to life the impact and the price of war in Ukraine and Israel/Gaza. His skill, his determination and his courage will be missed after his passing this year. He represented the best of British journalism and deserves our recognition.” WINNER: Caroline Wheeler — The Sunday Times The judges said: “This was outstanding work which was the definition of public interest journalism: a story and a campaign that is literally life and death to so many people.” Highly commended: Beth Rigby — Sky News The judges said: “Beth is always brilliant at holding politicians to account in simple and direct style.” WINNER: Computer Weekly editorial team — Computer Weekly: Post Office Scandal The judges said: “Sometimes, campaigning journalism takes time to have an impact. For this title it has taken 15 years and 450 stories. They prove that you don’t have to be big to make a massive impact and have led the way on one of the biggest stories of the century so far, playing a crucial role in finally securing justice for victims.” WINNER: Ex-BBC presenter Huw Edwards charged with making 37 indecent images of children, ‘shared on WhatsApp’ — The Sun The judges said: “This was a series of astonishing scoops incredibly sensitively handled, despite some sneering from the usual suspects. Some stories you have to fight incredibly hard to get over the line, and this is one of them. Another game changer.” WINNER: Channel 4 News The judges said: “From searing eye-witness journalism in Gaza to breaking new ground in coverage of the Post Office scandal, Channel 4 News has led the way providing public interest journalism which raises the reputation of our whole industry.” WINNER: David Knowles — The Telegraph The judges said Knowles, who died suddenly at the age of just 32 in September , “made a global impact in a short life. The daily podcast he launched – Ukraine: The Latest – continues to this day and has now had more than 700 episodes and 100 million listens. “Thousands of those listeners paid tribute to Knowles as someone who inspired them to support the people of Ukraine in their struggle against Russian aggression.” The judges added: “His work is an inspirational example of the capacity for journalism to create communities, provide a voice for those who need it most and reach a huge audience by simply telling human stories in a sensitive and intelligent way.” The Public Service Award was collected on behalf of Knowles by his Telegraph colleague Francis Dearnley. WINNER: Scarlet Howes, Mike Hamilton, Alex West, Victoria Newton and James Slack — The Sun The judges said: “Unmasking such a powerful figure and exposing not only how they abused their position but how the BBC had failed to act was a huge act of public interest.

Meticulous work which had to reach a high bar in order to make it to publication.” Highly commended: Ruth Evans, Oliver Newlan, Leo Telling, Sasha Hinde, Hayley Clarke and Karen Wightman — BBC Panorama The judges said this was “an investigation that exposed cruelty and profiteering in the field of special needs education, led to a school being closed down and staff arrested”. WINNER: Caroline Wheeler — The Sunday Times Press Gazette editor-in-chief and chairman of the judges Dominic Ponsford said Wheeler was “recognised not just for her work over the last 12 months but over the course of a 23-year crusade. Her work was instrumental in bringing about the infected blood public inquiry in 2017. She led a campaign which last year was backed by 250 MPs and peers seeking a fair settlement for victims of the tragedy. “The campaign and public report helped secure the promise of more than £10bn in compensation, undermining the previous government’s ability to offer tax cuts and perhaps even hastening the general election.” Email pged@pressgazette.co.uk to point out mistakes, provide story tips or send in a letter for publication on our "Letters Page" blogTEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — An Israeli hospital says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has undergone successful prostate surgery.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — An Israeli hospital says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has undergone successful prostate surgery. Jerusalem’s Hadassah Medical Center said his prostate was removed late Sunday. Netanyahu was placed under full anesthesia for the procedure. Doctors said he was awake and recovering Sunday night. Netanyahu’s office had said Justice Minister Yariv Levin, a close ally, would serve as acting prime minister during the procedure. Doctors ordered the operation after detecting an infection last week. Netanyahu is expected to remain hospitalized for several days. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is having his prostate removed on Sunday, his office said, a procedure that comes as he manages multiple crises including the war in Gaza and his trial for alleged corruption. Netanyahu, who has had a series of health issues in recent years, has gone to great lengths to bolster a public image of himself as a healthy, energetic leader. During his trial this month, he boasted about working 18-hour days, accompanied by a cigar. But as Israel’s longest-serving leader, such a grueling workload over a total of 17 years in power could take a toll on his well-being. Netanyahu, 75, is among older world leaders including U.S. President Joe Biden, 82, President-elect Donald Trump, 78, Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, 79, and Pope Francis, 88, who have come under scrutiny for their age and health issues. Netanyahu’s latest condition is common in older men, but the procedure has had some fallout. The judges overseeing his trial accepted a request from his lawyer on Sunday to call off three days of testimony scheduled this week. The lawyer, Amit Hadad, had argued that Netanyahu would be fully sedated for the procedure and hospitalized for “a number of days.” Netanyahu’s office said Justice Minister Yariv Levin, a close ally, would serve as acting prime minister during the procedure. With so much at stake, Netanyahu’s health in wartime is a concern for both Israelis and the wider world. A turbulent time in the region As Israel’s leader, Netanyahu is at the center of major global events that are shifting the Middle East. With the dizzying pace of the past 14 months, being incapacitated for even a few hours can be risky. Netanyahu will be in the hospital at a time when international mediators are pushing Israel and Hamas to reach a ceasefire in Gaza and as fighting between Israel and Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels intensifies. Prostate issues are common and in many cases easily treatable. Still, the procedure puts a dent in Netanyahu’s image of vigor at a time when he would want to project strength more than ever, both to an Israeli audience navigating constant threats as well as to Israel’s enemies looking to expose its weaknesses. Previous health issues, including a heart condition Netanyahu insists he is in excellent health. His office releases footage of him touring war zones in full protective gear flanked by military officers, or meeting with defense officials on windswept hilltops in youthful dark shades and puffer jackets. But that image was shattered last year when Netanyahu’s doctors revealed that he had a heart condition, a problem that he had apparently long known about but concealed from the public. A week after a fainting spell, Netanyahu was fitted with a pacemaker to control his heartbeat. Only then did staff at the Sheba Medical Center reveal that Netanyahu has for years experienced a condition that can cause irregular heartbeats. The revelation came as Netanyahu was dealing with massive anti-government protests. The news about a chronic heart problem stoked further anger and distrust during extreme political polarization in Israel. Last year, Netanyahu was rushed to the hospital for what doctors said likely was dehydration. He stayed overnight, prompting his weekly Cabinet meeting to be delayed. Earlier this year, Netanyahu underwent hernia surgery, during which he was under full anesthesia and unconscious. Levin served as acting prime minister during the operation. Recovery can be quick According to Netanyahu’s office, the Israeli leader was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection on Wednesday stemming from a benign enlargement of his prostate. The infection was treated successfully with antibiotics, but Sunday’s procedure will remove his prostate. Complications from prostate enlargement are common in men in their 70s and 80s, Dr. Shay Golan, head of the oncology urology service at Israel’s Rabin Medical Center, told Israeli Army Radio. Golan spoke in general terms and was not involved in Netanyahu’s care or treatment. He said an enlarged prostate can block proper emptying of the bladder, leading to a build-up of urine that can lead to an infection or other complications. After medicinal treatment, doctors can recommend a procedure to remove the prostate to prevent future blockages, Golan said. In Netanyahu’s case, because the prostate is not cancerous, Golan said doctors will likely perform an endoscopic surgery, carried out by inserting small instruments into a body cavity, rather than making surgical cuts in the abdomen to reach the prostate. The procedure lasts about an hour, Golan said, and recovery is quick. He said that aside from catheter use for one to three days after the procedure, patients can return to normal activity without significant limitations. Advertisement Advertisement
COLUMBIA, South Carolina (AP) — Victims' families and others affected by crimes that resulted in federal death row convictions shared a range of emotions on Monday, from relief to anger, after President Joe Biden commuted dozens of the sentences . Biden converted the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. The inmates include people who were convicted in the slayings of police, military officers and federal prisoners and guards. Others were involved in deadly robberies and drug deals. Three inmates will remain on federal death row: Dylann Roof , convicted of the 2015 racist slayings of nine Black members of Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina; the 2013 Boston Marathon Bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev ; and Robert Bowers, who fatally shot 11 congregants at Pittsburgh’s Tree of life Synagogue in 2018 , the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S history. Opponents of the death penalty lauded Biden for a decision they'd long sought. Supporters of Donald Trump , a vocal advocate of expanding capital punishment, criticized the move as an assault to common decency just weeks before the president-elect takes office. Donnie Oliverio, a retired Ohio police officer whose partner was killed by one of the men whose death sentence was commuted, said the execution of “the person who killed my police partner and best friend would have brought me no peace.” “The president has done what is right here,” Oliverio said in a statement also issued by the White House, “and what is consistent with the faith he and I share.” Heather Turner, whose mother, Donna Major, was killed in a bank robbery in South Carolina in 2017, called Biden's commutation of the killer's sentence a “clear gross abuse of power” in a Facebook post, adding that the weeks she spent sitting in court with the hope of justice were now “just a waste of time.” “At no point did the president consider the victims,” Turner wrote. “He, and his supporters, have blood on their hands.” There has always been a broad range of opinions on what punishment Roof should face from the families of the nine people killed and the survivors of the massacre at the Mother Emanuel AME Church. Many forgave him, but they can’t forget and their forgiveness doesn’t mean they don’t want to see him put to death for what he did. Felicia Sanders survived the shooting shielding her granddaughter while watching Roof kill her son, Tywanza, and her aunt, Susie Jackson. Sanders brought her bullet-torn bloodstained Bible to his sentencing and said then she can’t even close her eyes to pray because Roof started firing during the closing prayer of Bible study that night. In a text message to her lawyer, Andy Savage, Sanders called Biden’s decision to not spare Roof’s life a wonderful Christmas gift. Michael Graham, whose sister, Cynthia Hurd, was killed, told The Associated Press that Roof’s lack of remorse and simmering white nationalism in the country means he is the kind of dangerous and evil person the death penalty is intended for. “This was a crime against a race of people," Graham said. “It didn’t matter who was there, only that they were Black.” But the Rev. Sharon Richer, who was Tywanza Sanders’ cousin and whose mother, Ethel Lance, was killed, criticized Biden for not sparing Roof and clearing out all of death row. She said every time Roof’s case comes up through numerous appeals it is like reliving the massacre all over again. “I need the President to understand that when you put a killer on death row, you also put their victims' families in limbo with the false promise that we must wait until there is an execution before we can begin to heal,” Richer said in a statement. Richer, a board member of Death Penalty Action, which seeks to abolish capital punishment, was driven to tears by conflicting emotions during a Zoom news conference Monday. “The families are left to be hostages for the years and years of appeals that are to come,” Richer said. “I’ve got to stay away from the news today. I’ve got to turn the TV off — because whose face am I going to see?” Biden is giving more attention to the three inmates he chose not to spare, something they all wanted as a part of what drove them to kill, said Abraham Bonowitz, Death Penalty Action’s executive director. “These three racists and terrorists who have been left on death row came to their crimes from political motivations. When Donald Trump gets to execute them what will really be happening is they will be given a global platform for their agenda of hatred,” Bonowitz said. Two of the men whose sentences were commuted were Norris Holder and Billie Jerome Allen, on death row for opening fire with assault rifles during a 1997 bank robbery in St. Louis, killing a guard, 46-year-old Richard Heflin. Holder’s attorney, Madeline Cohen, said in an email that Holder was sentenced to death by an all-white jury. She said his case “reflects many of the system’s flaws,” and thanked Biden for commuting his sentence. “Norris’ case exemplifies the racial bias and arbitrariness that led the President to commute federal death sentences,” Cohen said. “Norris has always been deeply remorseful for the pain his actions caused, and we hope this decision brings some measure of closure to Richard Heflin’s family.” Swenson reported from Seattle.
