Will Utah State or Boise State forfeit vs. San Jose State in the Mountain West semifinals?WASHINGTON (AP) — One year after the Jan. 6, 2021 , U.S. Capitol attack, Attorney General Merrick Garland said the Justice Department was committed to holding accountable all perpetrators “at any level” for “the assault on our democracy.” That bold declaration won't apply to at least one person: Donald Trump. Special counsel Jack Smith's move on Monday to abandon the federal election interference case against Trump means jurors will likely never decide whether the president-elect is criminally responsible for his attempts to cling to power after losing the 2020 campaign. The decision to walk away from the election charges and the separate classified documents case against Trump marks an abrupt end of the Justice Department’s unprecedented legal effort that once threatened his liberty but appears only to have galvanized his supporters. The abandonment of the cases accusing Trump of endangering American democracy and national security does away with the most serious legal threats he was facing as he returns to the White House. It was the culmination of a monthslong defense effort to delay the proceedings at every step and use the criminal allegations to Trump's political advantage, putting the final word in the hands of voters instead of jurors. “We always knew that the rich and powerful had an advantage, but I don’t think we would have ever believed that somebody could walk away from everything,” said Stephen Saltzburg, a George Washington University law professor and former Justice Department official. “If there ever was a Teflon defendant, that’s Donald Trump.” While prosecutors left the door open to the possibility that federal charges could be re-filed against Trump after he leaves office, that seems unlikely. Meanwhile, Trump's presidential victory has thrown into question the future of the two state criminal cases against him in New York and Georgia. Trump was supposed to be sentenced on Tuesday after his conviction on 34 felony counts in his New York hush money case , but it's possible the sentencing could be delayed until after Trump leaves office, and the defense is pushing to dismiss the case altogether. Smith's team stressed that their decision to abandon the federal cases was not a reflection of the merit of the charges, but an acknowledgement that they could not move forward under longstanding Justice Department policy that says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution. Trump's presidential victory set “at odds two fundamental and compelling national interests: On the one hand, the Constitution’s requirement that the President must not be unduly encumbered in fulfilling his weighty responsibilities . . . and on the other hand, the Nation’s commitment to the rule of law,” prosecutors wrote in court papers. The move just weeks after Trump's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris underscores the immense personal stake Trump had in the campaign in which he turned his legal woes into a political rallying cry. Trump accused prosecutors of bringing the charges in a bid to keep him out of the White House, and he promised revenge on his perceived enemies if he won a second term. “If Donald J. Trump had lost an election, he may very well have spent the rest of his life in prison,” Vice President-elect JD Vance, wrote in a social media post on Monday. “These prosecutions were always political. Now it’s time to ensure what happened to President Trump never happens in this country again.” After the Jan. 6 attack by Trump supporters that left more than 100 police officers injured, Republican leader Mitch McConnell and several other Republicans who voted to acquit Trump during his Senate impeachment trial said it was up to the justice system to hold Trump accountable. The Jan. 6 case brought last year in Washington alleged an increasingly desperate criminal conspiracy to subvert the will of voters after Trump's 2020 loss, accusing Trump of using the angry mob of supporters that attacked the Capitol as “a tool” in his campaign to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence and obstruct the certification of Democrat Joe Biden's victory. Hundreds of Jan. 6 rioters — many of whom have said they felt called to Washington by Trump — have pleaded guilty or been convicted by juries of federal charges at the same courthouse where Trump was supposed to stand trial last year. As the trial date neared, officials at the courthouse that sits within view of the Capitol were busy making plans for the crush of reporters expected to cover the historic case. But Trump's argument that he enjoyed absolute immunity from prosecution quickly tied up the case in appeals all the way up to the Supreme Court. The high court ruled in July that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution , and sent the case back to the trial court to decide which allegations could move forward. But the case was dismissed before the trial court could get a chance to do so. The other indictment brought in Florida accused Trump of improperly storing at his Mar-a-Lago estate sensitive documents on nuclear capabilities, enlisting aides and lawyers to help him hide records demanded by investigators and cavalierly showing off a Pentagon “plan of attack” and classified map. But U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case in July on grounds that Smith was illegally appointed . Smith appealed to the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, but abandoned that appeal on Monday. Smith's team said it would continue its fight in the appeals court to revive charges against Trump's two co-defendants because “no principle of temporary immunity applies to them.” In New York, jurors spent weeks last spring hearing evidence in a state case alleging a Trump scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through a hush money payment to a porn actor who said the two had sex. New York prosecutors recently expressed openness to delaying sentencing until after Trump's second term, while Trump's lawyers are fighting to have the conviction dismissed altogether. In Georgia, a trial while Trump is in office seems unlikely in a state case charging him and more than a dozen others with conspiring to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state. The case has been on hold since an appeals court agreed to review whether to remove Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over her romantic relationship with the special prosecutor she had hired to lead the case.

South Korea has officially become a ‘super-aged society’ with 20% of its population aged 65 or older in accordance to a data released by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, reported Newsweek. ET Year-end Special Reads It's all Gucci for Indians' luxury craving even as economy shows wrinkles Investing in 2025: Will domestic funds continue to counter FPI sell-offs amid rising valuations? 2024 exposed the underbelly of India's Silicon Valley According to Newsweek, this certain milestone which equates to approximately 10.24 million individuals eventually highlights the demographic challenges of South Korea which includes the world's lowest birth rate at just 0.72 births per woman. The increase in the elderly population has raised severe concerns among policymakers about long term economic impacts. South Jeolla Province has the highest percentage of elderly residents at 27% while Sejong on the other hand is the youngest region with only 11.57% of its population in this age group, asserted Newsweek. The South Korean government has invested around $200 billion since the year 2006 in initiatives to encourage higher birth rates, but these efforts have largely failed due to factors like rising housing costs and changing social attitudes. In response to this demographic crisis, President Yoon Suk-yeol has proposed establishing a new Ministry of Population to develop strategies addressing low birth rates and an aging society, noted Newsweek.

Mikha Fortuna thrives in playing match. —CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Mikha Fortuna will be opening defense of her ICTSI The Country Club Match Play Invitational against one of the tour’s rising young stars in Jiwon Lee of South Korea. And she’s more than willing to take on the challenge. “I totally love playing match play,” said Fortuna, the former University of Oklahoma standout who thumped Laurea Duque, 7&5 in last year’s final. “I played so many college matches back in Oklahoma, so I really enjoy the feeling of it.” The P1.5-million women’s event gets going on Nov. 26 at windswept The Country Club in Laguna, with Harmie Constantino, after winning the Order of Merit title, seeded first. “Jiwon is definitely a great player,” said Fortuna. “Knowing that she’ll be my first match, it’s going to be a great and competitive one, which I like. But I’m not setting any expectations—I’ll just stick to my game and enjoy the experience.” Despite that big win last year, Fortuna didn’t win a tour title this year, falling short—interestingly enough—by a shot to Lee in the Splendido leg in Tagaytay. “Overall, I’d say my season was okay. I had many opportunities to win, but that’s golf—it can be unpredictable,” she said. “There’s still so much to improve. But looking back, I’m happy with my performance. This week being the last, I’ll give it everything I have.” The top 16 players of last season advanced to the match play. Constantino faces Kayla Nocum, while second-ranked Sarah Ababa battles Pamela Mariano with third-ranked Chihiro Ikeda facing Kristine Fleetwood in the other notable opening round matchups.

An epic movie deserves an epic Q&A, and on Friday, November 15 director Ridley Scott was joined by 16 of his collaborators at the Paramount Theater in Hollywood to discuss the making of “ Gladiator II ” in front of a packed house of fellow filmmakers. The panel, moderated by yours truly, consisted of Scott, cinematographer John Mathieson, costume designer Janty Yates, military costume designer Dave Crossman, production designer Arthur Max, editors Claire Simpson and Sam Restivo, hair dept head Giuliano Mariano, make-up dept head Jana Carboni, composer Harry Gregson-Williams, visual effects supervisor Mark Bakowski, supervising sound editor Danny Sheehan, supervising sound editor/re-recording mixer Matthew Collinge, production sound mixer Stéphane Bucher, and casting director Kate Rhodes James. When asked what characteristics he looks for when assembling a team of department heads, Scott was clear and to the point. “First, stamina,” he said. “Then, talent.” He said that he discovered “ Gladiator II ” lead Paul Mescal while watching “Normal People” late at night on TV. “I need bedtime stories. Before I go to bed I always watch something. I caught ‘Normal People’ almost by accident. It was not my kind of thing really, but I watched two and thought that both the guy and the girl were terrific. Then I binged eight hours.” James said other people were discussed — a notion Scott playfully challenged — but Mescal had the exact combination of qualities needed to step into Russell Crowe’s shoes. Mescal’s Lucius was just one of many new characters created for “Gladiator II,” and Mariano and Carboni revealed a surprising influence on twin emperors Geta (Joseph Quinn) and Caracalla (Fred Hechinger): punk rock royalty The Sex Pistols. “Ridley wanted them to be very edgy,” Carboni said. “Johnny Rotten was actually the reference, especially for the color of the hair.” Yates said that she took particular pleasure in dressing Denzel Washington’s Macrinus, a former slave and now brutal social climber whose appearance conveys his appreciation for the good things in life. “One thing I love is that he wore his earrings constantly,” she said. “I thought it was going to be a huge battle, but the jewelry, the bracelets, the big belts...he wore it all so well and loved it.” Many of the people on the panel had worked on the first “Gladiator,” including production designer Arthur Max. A refrain throughout the Q&A was the notion that as sweeping as the original film was, the mandate for “Gladiator II” was to make it even bigger. “We supersized the original movie,” Max said, noting that digital effects were in their infancy when he worked on the first film and that evolving technology allowed him to increase the scale for “Gladiator II” — even filling the Colosseum with water and sharks. For Scott, expanding the scope is just in keeping with creating new challenges for himself on every new film; at 86, he’s already location scouting his next epic. “I feel alive when I’m doing a movie,” he said.

Andrew met the individual through “official channels” with “nothing of a sensitive nature ever discussed”, a statement from his office said. The businessman – known only as H6 – lost an appeal over a decision to bar him from entering the UK on national security grounds. He brought a case to the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) after then-home secretary Suella Braverman said he should be excluded from the UK in March 2023. H6 was described as a “close confidante” of The Duke. Judges were told that in a briefing for the home secretary in July 2023, officials claimed H6 had been in a position to generate relationships between prominent UK figures and senior Chinese officials “that could be leveraged for political interference purposes”. They also said that H6 had downplayed his relationship with the Chinese state, which combined with his relationship with Andrew, 64, represented a threat to national security. A statement from Andrew’s office said: “The Duke of York followed advice from His Majesty’s Government and ceased all contact with the individual after concerns were raised. “The Duke met the individual through official channels with nothing of a sensitive nature ever discussed. “He is unable to comment further on matters relating to national security.” At a hearing in July, the specialist tribunal heard that the businessman was told by an adviser to Andrew that he could act on the duke’s behalf when dealing with potential investors in China, and that H6 had been invited to Andrew’s birthday party in 2020. A letter referencing the birthday party from the adviser, Dominic Hampshire, was discovered on H6’s devices when he was stopped at a port in November 2021. In a ruling on Thursday, Mr Justice Bourne, Judge Stephen Smith and Sir Stewart Eldon, dismissed the challenge.
