Trump says Nidal Hasan execution livestream remains undecided after earlier endorsement

See more of our coverage in your search results. President Trump said he wasn’t involved in the plan to livestream the execution by firing squad of Fort Hood killer Nidal Hasan, while stressing that he understands the decision to make an “example” of him.“They want to do that because they want to set an example. I wasn’t involved in that decision, but I understand the decision,” Trump told CNY Central on Friday during his trip to Syracuse, where he campaigned for Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman’s gubernatorial bid, when asked if he approved live-streaming the event.He was more direct when asked if he approved of the execution itself. “I did,” Trump said. President Trump said he “wasn’t involved” in the plan to livestream the execution of Fort Hood murderer Nidal Hasan Dec. 3. Vice President JD Vance says he won’t be watching it. Bonnie Cash / Pool via CNP / SplashNews.comTrump’s comments appeared to be a step back from earlier remarks that he approved the plan to livestream the execution. Trump went on to discuss with the CNY Central the horrific Nidal Hasan attack that prompted the military to announce its first execution by firing squad since 1945. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said it would be broadcast live on Dec. 3.“He went in and killed 14 people. He badly, badly wounded 22 people — walked into a room, just started firing at everybody, screaming things that he shouldn’t be screaming. So, I guess they want to have it serve as an example, and I understand that very well,” Trump said.Hours earlier, while leaving the White House, Trump appeared to endorse the plan to broadcast the execution live. “Did I approve? Absolutely,” he said.Nidal Hasan is scheduled to be executed by firing squad Dec. 3 for carrying out a massacre at Fort Hood that killed 13 people. ReutersSecretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that the execution of Hasan will be livestreamed, although comments by Trump and Vance left this in doubt. Alex Wong/Pool Getty Images North America via APThe White House rapid response account blasted out Trump’s latest and more fulsome language on X.Trump also suggested the livestream question remained unresolved, saying he would “make a determination” on it — while insisting Hasan would be executed by firing squad“He will be through firing squad. … I really don’t care how he goes as long as he goes. And I think that the death penalty is a very worthy way of going for him.”Hasan killed 13 people and wounded 32 others during his Nov. 5, 2009 massacre inside a medical building at the Texas base.Vice President JD Vance, who held a campaign event in Ohio Friday, said he wouldn’t be watching the execution if it is broadcast.“I don’t know that that’s actually going to happen,” he said. “If it’s ultimately livestreamed, I’m not going to be watching it.”

Trump Turns to Russian Diesel, but Price Relief May Miss the Midterms New

Trump Turns to Russian Diesel, but Price Relief May Miss the Midterms

President Donald Trump's agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin to boost diesel supplies is drawing criticism from within his own party, exposing Republican divisions over the White House's latest attempt to bring down fuel prices ahead of November's midterm elections.The pushback follows Trump's announcement Friday that Putin had agreed to supply millions of tons of diesel fuel to United States and global markets. The administration subsequently authorized transactions involving Russian diesel, with the Treasury Department issuing a temporary license allowing Russian-origin diesel to reach global markets.The move drew scrutiny because Congress just weeks ago approved the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, legislation intended to increase pressure on Moscow over the war in Ukraine.While Trump, ahead of the November midterms, has cast the arrangement as a way to ease soaring fuel costs hurting truckers, farmers and consumers, some Republicans argue it risks undermining Washington's efforts to pressure Moscow over the war in Ukraine.Newsweek reached out to the White House for comment on Saturday.Don Bacon Says Russian Fuel Is 'the Wrong Answer'Representative Don Bacon, a Nebraska Republican and supporter of Ukraine, emerged as one of the deal's most outspoken critics."We need lower diesel prices for American farmers, ranchers and consumers, but buying Russian fuel is the wrong answer," Bacon wrote on X on Friday.The congressman argued that Ukraine's attacks on Russian refineries have targeted facilities that "fuel and finance Putin's illegal invasion" and suggested the agreement could provide Moscow with additional revenue.He also pointed to the sanctions law, which Trump signed last month, arguing Congress had moved to increase economic pressure on Russia rather than ease it.Bacon's criticism is particularly notable because Nebraska's economy relies heavily on agriculture and trucking, sectors that have been among the hardest hit by surging diesel costs.According to AAA, the national average diesel price stood at $6.28 per gallon on Saturday, putting pressure on farmers harvesting crops and businesses dependent on freight transportation.Michael McCaul Warns Deal Could Help PutinRepresentative Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican and former chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, also criticized the administration's move.In a statement posted on X, McCaul said he understood the desire to lower diesel prices but expressed concern that lifting sanctions on Russian oil would "fund the Kremlin's war machine" despite Congress recently giving Trump additional leverage to pressure Putin through sanctions.His comments add a foreign-policy dimension to the debate, suggesting concerns among some Republicans extend beyond fuel prices and into the broader question of how the U.S. should approach Russia while fighting continues in Ukraine.Senator Lisa Murkowski, an Alaska Republican, also criticized the move. In a post on X, she noted that Congress had recently passed legislation to increase sanctions and tariffs on Russia and argued Trump should be using those authorities "instead of allowing Russia to export diesel, rake in revenues, and continue its catastrophic war in Ukraine." Murkowski added that Russia's return to global energy markets should wait until after the war ends.The criticism mirrors concern raised by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who argued Friday that easing pressure on Russia without a broader de-escalation agreement would amount to "an obvious weakness."...Trump's Diesel Deal Comes as Midterms ApproachThe administration has spent weeks searching for ways to address rising diesel prices, which have become an economic and political problem ahead of the midterms.Diesel fuels much of the country's agricultural, trucking, rail and industrial sectors. Higher diesel costs can ripple through supply chains and contribute to higher prices for consumers.Some analysts, however, question whether the Russia agreement will produce relief quickly enough to affect voters before Election Day.Ed Hirs, an energy economist at the University of Houston, said the political benefits of the deal may not arrive on the timetable the White House hopes for."If everything goes smoothly, the U.S. consumer will not get relief at the pump until well after the election," Hirs previously told Newsweek.Trump has increasingly highlighted the issue in recent days, particularly in appeals to farmers, truckers and rural voters.Earlier this week, he signed an executive order allowing tax-exempt dyed diesel to be used on public roads through the end of the year while deferring the federal diesel tax associated with that fuel.The White House has also pushed allies to release emergency diesel reserves and has reportedly been weighing additional executive actions intended to boost fuel supplies and production.Announcing the Russia agreement, Trump said he expected diesel prices to fall quickly."It was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday, outlining several additional planned deliveries.Speaking to reporters later that day, the president called it "a big deal.""That is massive amounts of oil coming into our country, and I want to thank President Putin to be honest with you," Trump said. "And it's diesel, which is what we want."Speaking to reporters Saturday, Trump also criticized Zelensky for opposing the agreement and defended his argument that Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries have contributed to diesel shortages. Trump said the U.S. had urged Ukraine not to target Russian refining facilities and added, "He better damn well stop!"Trump also said Saturday it was time for Ukraine to get a new president, suggesting Zelensky has not done enough to end the war.“I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal because he could have made many deals and for some reason he never does,” he said.Analysts Question Whether Russian Diesel Will Lower PricesSome energy analysts have expressed skepticism that the agreement will significantly alter diesel market fundamentals.Tom Kloza, senior energy and market adviser at Gulf Oil, recently told Newsweek that Russia currently lacks the ability to contribute meaningful diesel volumes to global markets because Ukrainian drone attacks have damaged a significant portion of Russian refining capacity."The market reacted with a 7-8cts/gal drop after the news broke, but nearly all traders I talk to doubt whether this will effect a trend change," Kloza said. "Diesel molecules are scarce and promise to be scarce through October, into November and perhaps beyond."Hirs said that even if the deal proceeds as planned, consumers may not see meaningful relief quickly, raising questions about whether the arrangement will deliver the economic benefit Trump has promised before voters head to the polls.Newsweek’s reporters and editors used Martyn, our AI assistant, to produce this story.

Vasile Bănescu: Trump admiră dictatorii și dezbracă „haina strâmtă” a democrației New

Vasile Bănescu: Trump admiră dictatorii și dezbracă „haina strâmtă” a democrației

Profesorul Vasile Bănescu a făcut o radiografie dură a relației dintre președintele SUA, Donald Trump, și dictatorul rus, Vladimir Putin. Fostul purtător de cuvânt al BOR vorbește subtil despre faptul că liderul de la Casa Albă „poartă haina strâmtă a democrației pe care o dezbracă din când în când”. Bănescu, actual mebmru al CNA a scris pe rețele sociale: „Cinismul patologic, ticăloșia, amoralismul radical, care bat palma cu un odios dictator și criminal, aleg în mod reflex sacrificarea celor mulți, slabi și mărunți, așa cum îi vede posesorul lor încântat de „great dictators”, fascinante modele pentru el, epigonul obligat să poarte haina „strâmtă” a democrației, pe care, iritat, o mai dezbracă din când în când.Dictatorul din orice ticălos privește totdeauna de sus spre cei de la care nu poate obține nimic, mai ales când personalitatea sa narcisică e forjată în lumea celor posedați de hybris-ul puterii și învățați că totul e permis.Pentru el, amoralul absolut, nu are nicio semnificație faptul că un întreg continent din spatele unei țări agresate și însângerate se opune acum imperialismului barbariei cu mască „ortodoxă” și cu trecut-prezent demonic ideologic, scăldat în sânge și rupt de Dumnezeu, trecut în care a provocat abominabile hecatombe în Siberia și, colateral, în toate țările fostului bloc comunist, prezent în care bombardează și sfârtecă femei, bătrâni și copii cu rachete „Satan” și drone deopotrivă binecuvântate de o așa-zisă Biserică devenită obedient departament al ministerului de război.It doesn’t matter — Putin is a great dictator!P.S: Proocidentalismul obsesiv și oficial românesc are la destinație un scandalos MAGA-peisaj moral, prin comparație cu care proeuropenismul organic, deci firesc, este un port sigur al onoarei, securității și identității noastre europene”, și-a încheiat acesta mesajul.Mesajul profesorului Bănescu a devenit rapid viral pe rețelele sociale adunând sute de aprecieri în doar câteva minute.

Rovena Ibrahimi: After five years of trying, I spent five months of my pregnancy on bed rest

Këngëtarja Rovena Ibrahimi ka rrëfyer vështirësitë që ka kaluar gjatë pesë viteve të përpjekjeve për t’u bërë nënë, si dhe periudhën e vështirë të shtatzënisë, kur qëndroi për pesë muaj në regjim shtrati.Në një intervistë në emisionin “S’e Luan Topi” në Top Channel, Ibrahimi tregoi se, ndërsa bashkëshorti kishte humbur shpresat se do të bëheshin prindër, ajo e mbante të fortë besimin se një ditë do të sillte në jetë një fëmijë.Erjona Rusi: Edhe ju keni pasur sfidat tuaja, le të themi një pesëvjeçar gjatë të cilit tentonit të bëheshit me fëmijë. Si e keni përjetuar këtë periudhë?“Ka qenë shumë e vështirë, jo për mua, pasi unë i rikthehem pjesës së besimit. E kisha të ngulitur në mendje që, nëse është e shkruar të bëhem nënë, do të bëhem dhe kjo nuk kishte për të ndryshuar asnjë gjë. Kur shikoje tim shoq duke kaluar vitet, kishte humbur shpresat. Thoshte: “Nuk kemi për t’u bërë prindër”. Edhe unë vazhdoja: “Kur të kemi fëmijën tonë”. E shikoje gjithmonë e më të dorëzuar, e kishte pranuar. Ne nuk kemi pasur probleme nga vizitat që kishim bërë, ishte çdo gjë shumë okej. Ai thoshte që kjo gjë nuk do të ndodhte.Më e vështirë ishte pas vitit të pandemisë. Thoshte: “Kjo nuk ka për të ndodhur”. Ai e kishte bërë pakt me këtë gjë, nuk i shkaktonte tension në çift, por brenda vetes e shikoje të dorëzuar. Në momentin e parë që unë e kam kuptuar që isha shtatzënë, bëra testin dhe ia nisa. Më tha: “Kush ka mbetur shtatzënë?”. I thashë: “Unë”, e më tha: “He, mos u tall, po kush ka ngelur?”. I thashë: “Me të vërtetë, unë. Po a do të vish të shkojmë te doktori bashkë?”. Më tha: “Shko njëherë vetëm, sigurohu”, sepse nuk po e besonte.Nathaniel është vërtet ashtu siç e ka emrin, dhuratë e Zotit. Nuk kishte gëzim më të madh. Edhe dua të jap një mesazh për ato femra që dorëzohen: nuk të kushton asgjë të mbash qetësinë. Unë vazhdoja me idenë që do të vijë momenti, se gjërat janë të shkruara. Nëse do të bëhesh nënë, do të bëhesh, në të kundërt, do ta pranosh çdo gjë që të vijë nga lart.E kemi menduar edhe birësimin të dy bashkë. Ishim pro, por besimi im i tejskajshëm që kjo gjë do të ndodhte më bënte që ta lija. E kisha bindje të brendshme. Kam qëndruar pesë muaj në regjim shtrati. Ishte shumë e vështirë. Kam qenë gjatë gjithë kohës e rrezikuar dhe ishte e vështirë deri në momentin që Nathaniel erdhi në jetë”, tha këngëtarja Rovena Ibrahimi. Top Channel

Pensó que era migraña, se durmió y sufrió tres derrames cerebrales New

Pensó que era migraña, se durmió y sufrió tres derrames cerebrales

Un hombre de 39 años se fue a dormir pensando que tenía una fuerte migraña, sin imaginar que estaba sufriendo un accidente cerebrovascular. Al día siguiente, después de presentar dificultades para hablar, terminó hospitalizado y descubrió que había sufrido tres episodios cerebrovasculares en menos de 24 horas.El caso ocurrió en Sunshine Coast, Australia, donde Dru Arnold, un trabajador de la construcción que se consideraba saludable y físicamente activo, comenzó a experimentar síntomas mientras realizaba sus actividades cotidianas. Sin embargo, decidió descansar en lugar de buscar atención médica.De acuerdo con un reporte de ABC Australia, los hechos ocurrieron en febrero de 2026, cuando Arnold comenzó a hablar de manera poco clara y posteriormente experimentó un intenso dolor de cabeza. Al pensar que se trataba de una molestia pasajera, decidió terminar su jornada laboral y acostarse.Lo que desconocía era que ya había sufrido un derrame cerebral y que, durante la noche, experimentaría otros dos episodios, según informó el Departamento de Salud de Queensland.Despertó sintiéndose bien, pero una llamada con su esposa reveló que algo estaba malA la mañana siguiente, Arnold despertó aparentemente recuperado. Desayunó y salió a lavar su automóvil, convencido de que el descanso había sido suficiente para aliviar sus molestias. Sin embargo, cuando habló por teléfono con su esposa, Josie, ella identificó que su dificultad para hablar había empeorado, por lo que decidió llamar inmediatamente a una ambulancia.El hombre fue trasladado al Sunshine Coast University Hospital, donde los médicos confirmaron que había sufrido múltiples accidentes cerebrovasculares. Durante los estudios también descubrieron que había experimentado otro episodio similar dos años antes, del cual no tenía conocimiento. Arnold permaneció tres días hospitalizado bajo vigilancia médica y posteriormente pasó una semana en rehabilitación intensiva. Actualmente, a más de siete meses del incidente, el australiano ha recuperado gran parte del habla y la memoria, aunque todavía experimenta fatiga. Confía en que podrá recuperarse por completo. Su experiencia también lo llevó a compartir públicamente su historia para advertir que los accidentes cerebrovasculares pueden presentarse incluso en personas jóvenes y aparentemente saludables. ¿Cuáles son los síntomas de un derrame cerebral que nunca debes ignorar?Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades de Estados Unidos (CDC) advierten que un accidente cerebrovascular ocurre cuando se interrumpe el suministro de sangre a una parte del cerebro o se produce una hemorragia cerebral. Entre los principales síntomas de alerta se encuentran: Dolor de cabeza intenso y repentino, sin una causa conocida. Dificultad para hablar, pronunciar palabras o comprender lo que dicen otras personas. Debilidad o entumecimiento repentino del rostro, brazos o piernas, especialmente de un lado del cuerpo. Pérdida repentina del equilibrio, mareos o problemas para caminar. Alteraciones repentinas de la visión en uno o ambos ojos. Confusión repentina o dificultad para comprender lo que sucede. Las autoridades sanitarias señalan que estos síntomas requieren atención médica inmediata, incluso cuando desaparecen después de algunos minutos, pues podrían indicar un ataque isquémico transitorio, conocido como miniaccidente cerebrovascular. En México, ante estos signos se debe llamar al 911 y solicitar una ambulancia, sin esperar a que las molestias desaparezcan por sí solas. Los especialistas insisten en que reconocer los síntomas y actuar rápidamente puede reducir el daño cerebral y mejorar las posibilidades de recuperación.

Her lungs are clear, and she has started to eat a regular diet. Physicians are encouraged by her physical recovery."Will Christa Pike face a second execution?It is not currently clear whether or not the state of Tennessee will attempt to execute Pike again at a later date.The state has temporarily suspended all executions until the end of the year, while an investigation is carried out.Featured Image Credit: (TDOC)Topics: US News

9 Communication Habits That Quietly Turn Small Conflicts Into Big Ones New

9 Communication Habits That Quietly Turn Small Conflicts Into Big Ones

1. Listening Only Long Enough to Prepare Your RebuttalWhen you are mentally building your defence, you may hear the other person’s words without understanding their concern. The conversation becomes two competing speeches rather than an exchange.Try summarising what you heard before responding: “It sounds like you felt dismissed when I changed the plan.” This does not mean you agree with every detail. It shows that you understand the issue well enough to address the actual hurt instead of the argument you expected.2. Defending Your Intent Before Acknowledging Their ImpactGood intentions do not automatically erase a painful outcome. Saying “I didn’t mean it that way” too quickly can sound like a request for the other person to stop feeling hurt.Start with the effect: “I can see why that embarrassed you.” You can explain your intention afterward, when it no longer sounds like an escape route. People are often more willing to hear context once they feel that their experience has not been dismissed.3. Turning One Painful Moment Into an Absolute PatternWords such as “always” and “never” make a complaint feel like a verdict on someone’s entire character. A missed call becomes “You never care,” and one forgotten task becomes “I always have to do everything.”Keep the discussion tied to the specific event and its effect. “When you didn’t call, I felt unimportant” is easier to answer honestly. Precision lowers defensiveness because it leaves room for accountability without turning one mistake into a permanent identity.4. Over-Explaining Until the Other Person Gives InAn explanation can provide useful context, but repeating it in five different ways may become pressure disguised as clarity. You may be hoping that if you explain perfectly, the other person will finally agree that your choice was reasonable.Say what matters once, then allow space for a different response. Understanding is not the same as approval. A productive conversation can end with both people seeing each other clearly while still having different opinions about what happened.5. Bringing Old Evidence Into Every New DisagreementPast events matter when they reveal an unresolved pattern, but using every previous mistake as supporting evidence can make resolution impossible. The other person ends up defending years of history instead of discussing what happened today.Before mentioning the past, ask whether it clarifies the current issue or simply strengthens your case. If an older wound still needs attention, name it as a separate conversation. One conflict is easier to repair when it is not forced to carry every unfinished conflict.6. Treating Your Assumptions as Facts About Their MotivesConflict intensifies when you claim to know why someone acted as they did: “You ignored me because you wanted control.” Even if your interpretation feels obvious, presenting it as fact gives the other person little room to explain.Describe what you observed, then ask rather than declare. “You changed the subject twice, and I wondered if you were avoiding the conversation” keeps the concern intact without pretending you can read minds. Curiosity often reveals information certainty would have blocked.7. Using Text Messages for Emotionally Loaded ConversationsText is convenient, but it removes tone, timing and facial expression—the very cues that can soften difficult words. A delayed reply may look like punishment, while a brief response may seem cold even when the person is simply busy.Use messages to arrange the conversation rather than conduct the entire conflict. If the exchange becomes tense, suggest a call or an in-person discussion. Choosing a richer form of communication can prevent both people from filling missing context with their worst assumptions.8. Demanding Closure Before Either Person Has Calmed DownThe urge to resolve everything immediately can come from discomfort with uncertainty. Yet pushing for answers while emotions are high often produces rushed apologies, harsher language or promises that neither person truly means.A pause is useful when it includes a clear return point. Instead of walking away indefinitely, say, “I need thirty minutes, and then I want to continue.” This protects the conversation from escalation without making the other person wonder whether the issue has been abandoned.9. Mistaking a Quiet Ending for Genuine RepairA conflict has not necessarily been resolved because both people stopped talking about it. Silence may mean exhaustion, avoidance or fear of making things worse. The surface becomes calm while resentment remains underneath.Real repair usually requires clarity about what happened, what each person needs and what should change next time. Revisit the issue gently once emotions settle. A simple question—“Do you feel finished with this, or did we just stop?”—can reveal whether peace is genuine or merely temporary.

Vučić hvalio kralja Aleksandra, kritičari ga podsetili na položaj njegovih potomaka

Foto: Beta/AP Photo/ autor: 10. okt. 2026. 18:35 Aleksandar Vučić je na Oplencu veličao kralja Aleksandra I Karađorđevića, nazivajući ga najvećim srpskim vladarom 20. veka. Samo dan kasnije, njegove reči dobile su odgovor kroz pitanje koje bivši predsednik nije otvorio tokom posete - kako se država odnosi prema potomcima čoveka kom se on javno divi? Oglas Odbornik pokreta Kreni-promeni Nikola Stanković poručio je da se Vučić "za kamere klanja kralju, a bez kamera kažnjava njegove unuke i praunuke". Predsednik Novog lica Srbije Miloš Parandilović optužio ga je da Karađorđevićima otežava povratak imovine, dok je student Nikola Marčetić ocenio da Vučiću, zbog njegovog odnosa prema kraljevskoj porodici, uopšte nije bilo mesto na Oplencu.Vučić je 9. oktobra, na 92. godišnjicu ubistva kralja Aleksandra I Karađorđevića, posetio crkvu Svetog Đorđa na Oplencu i o nekadašnjem jugoslovenskom monarhu govorio biranim rečima."Kralj Aleksandar je veliki stradalnik i mučenik, ne samo zbog načina na koji je ubijen, ne zbog onih koji su u zaveri učestvovali. Nije to pitanje Vlade Černozemskog ili ovog ili onog, to je pitanje čitave organizacije, od Engleza, Italijana, Bugara, ustaša, svih", izjavio je Vučić.Za kralja Aleksandra rekao je da je bio "dobar kralj u teškom trenutku za nas i razuman čovek", dodajući da su Srbi prema njemu istorijski bili nepravedni i da su o njemu "izmišljali i lagali svašta".Njegove pohvale monarhu ubrzo su pokrenule talas reakcija u kojima je otvoreno pitanje odnosa vlasti prema potomcima dinastije, oduzetoj imovini i finansiranju Dvorskog kompleksa.Za kamere se klanja kralju, bez kamera kažnjava unukeNikola Stanković, odbornik Kreni-promeni u Skupštini grada Beograda, reagovao je na Vučićevu posetu podsećanjem na realan položaj potomaka kralja Aleksandra. Nikola Stankovic - Kreni Promeni "Vučić na Oplencu hvali kralja Aleksandra, a u Beogradu se obračunava s njegovim unucima i praunucima. Karađorđevićima ne vraća dedovinu, a protivzakonito je ukinuo i sredstva za održavanje Dvorskog kompleksa, koji je kralj Aleksandar izgradio sopstvenim novcem i ostavio svojim potomcima, a koji je i dalje u vlasništvu države", naveo je Stanković.Вучић јуче на Опленцу хвали краља Александра, а у Београду се обрачунава с његовим унуцима и праунуцима. Карађорђевићима не враћа дедовину, а противзаконито је укинуо и средства за одржавање Дворског комплекса, који је краљ Александар изградио сопственим новцем и оставио својим потомцима, а који је и даље у власништву државе. За камере се клања краљу. Без камера кажњава његове унуке и праунуке. Вучић би и краља Александра прогласио за светитеља, али тек када би добио потврду да се учланио у СНС.— NIKOLA STANKOVIC (@nikolazstankovi) October 10, 2026On je odnos vlasti prema dinastiji sažeo u poruku da se Vučić "za kamere klanja kralju, a bez kamera kažnjava njegove unuke i praunuke", dodajući na kraju da bi Vučić "kralja Aleksandra proglasio za svetitelja, ali tek kad bi dobio potvrdu da se učlanio u SNS".Predsednik Novog lica Srbije i narodni poslanik Miloš Parandilović ocenio je da poseta Oplencu predstavlja pokušaj bivšeg predsednika da se predstavi kao patriota, dok se potomcima Karađorđevića istovremeno otežava život u Srbiji."Da Vučić stvarno poštuje dinastiju Karađorđević i nasleđe koje nam je ostavio kralj Aleksandar, ne bi njegovim potomcima otežavao život time što se ukidaju finansijska sredstva za održavanje Dvora", rekao je Parandilović. Miloš Parandilović Sednica Glavnog odbora Narodnog pokreta Srbije / FoNet Aleksandar Mijailović "Korišćenje istorijskih ličnosti poput kralja Aleksandra za ovakav vid političke promocije jeste bezobzirno, jer znamo da kad god Vučić i njegovi radikali pričaju o srpstvu, njihov novčanik postaje sve puniji, a budžet Srbije sve prazniji", naveo je Parandilović.Podsetio je i na nedavni potez princa Filipa Karađorđevića, ističući da je on pokazao jasnu distancu prema vlasti kada je odbio da polaže vence zajedno sa ministarkom Milicom Đurđević Stamenkovski.Da ima stida i srama, shvatio bi da mu nije mesto na OplencuOglasio se i student Nikola Marčetić, koji je Vučićevu posetu Oplencu kritikovao još direktnije."Moj komentar na njegov pokušaj odavanja počasti kralju Aleksandru I Karađorđeviću jeste da nemam komentar. Jer kako komentarisati postupke osobe koja ne zna ni za stid ni za sram, jer da ima nešto od to dvoje, shvatio bi da mu juče nije bilo mesto na Oplencu", poručio je Marčetić u izjavi za Nova.rs. Student fakulteta muzičkih umetnosti Nikola Marčetić posle "marša" do Novog Sada odlučio je da danas pešice krene i na protest u Kragujevcu, na Sretenje Foto:FoNet/Bojana Milovanović Naglasio je da se odnos bivšeg predsednika prema kraljevskoj porodici ne može posmatrati kroz prigodne govore."Njegova nedela prema kraljevskoj porodici zadiru duboko u prošlost, pa mu poručujem da ostane u toj prošlosti, a da budućnost pripada nama koji volimo našu Srbiju i našu kraljevsku porodicu Karađorđević", zaključio je Marčetić.Princ Filip: Mnogi se kralja sete samo kad im to nalaže lični interesPosebnu težinu celoj polemici daje poruka princa-naslednika Filipa Karađorđevića, praunuka kralja Aleksandra, koji se takođe oglasio sa Oplenca povodom godišnjice ubistva svog pretka. Princ Filip Karađorđević Foto: Nemanja Jovanović/Nova.rs Princ Filip nije poimence pominjao Vučića, ali je njegova poruka objavljena istog dana kad je bivši predsednik govorio o veličini kralja Aleksandra."Mnogi se kralja Aleksandra I sete samo onda kada im to nalaže lični interes. Mnogi pokušavaju da sebe porede sa njim, iako takvih poređenja nisu dostojni", poručio je princ Filip.On je podsetio i na istorijsko poreklo imovine na Dedinju."Zemljište na kojem se Dvor nalazi moj pradeda je kupio sopstvenim sredstvima, a Kraljevski dvor podigao privatnim novcem, ostavivši svojim potomcima dom, a svom narodu trajno nasleđe", naveo je princ Filip.Na grob kralja Aleksandra doneo je ruže koje je lično ubrao u vrtu Kraljevskog dvora, ističući da u njima ima mnogo više od simbolike jer povezuju dom koji je gradio sa mestom na kom počiva.

Federal Prosecutor Ordered to Take Legal Training Over Evidence-Free Claim New

Federal Prosecutor Ordered to Take Legal Training Over Evidence-Free Claim

A federal prosecutor has been sanctioned, and ordered to undertake at least two hours of legal training, after a district court judge concluded he made a baseless accusation founded on “no evidence” against the lawyer of an Iranian man fighting deportation to his home country.The ruling was made by Judge Diane J. Humetewa in the U.S. District Court for Arizona against Assistant U.S. Attorney Brooks Chupp. It demonstrates how President Trump’s immigration crackdown has led to legal conflict over the rights of migrants and the arguments their attorneys can make against deportation.Newsweek contacted Chupp, via the District Court for Arizona public affairs office, and the Department of Justice press office for comment by email on Saturday outside of regular office hours.The CaseThe controversy revolves around an Iranian man who entered the United States in January 2025 and attempted to claim asylum on the grounds of being gay, which he said would put him in danger if returned to Iran.The man, who goes unnamed in Humetewa’s ruling, said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents made two attempts to deport him back to Iran in November and December of 2025....Describing the first incident he said: “I refused to cooperate with the ICE officers. I cried and begged. I told them I cannot go back because they arrested me for being gay and they will execute me. I told them I am not safe and cannot go back.”In December 2025 Chupp said the Iranian’s lawyer, who isn’t named in the ruling, had attempted to obstruct his deportation by incorrectly arguing he had a pending immigration appeal that prevented deportation. Knowingly making false statements to a federal agency is against the law.However, the lawyer denied she made this argument and the government later admitted it had no specific records to support this claim.The RulingHumetewa concluded Chupp had violated Rule 11(b)(3) of the U.S. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure which requires attorneys to ensure that factual assertions made in court have supporting evidence.In the ruling, Humetewa said Chupp had provided “no evidence” to support his claim that the Iranian man’s attorney had falsely said he had a pending immigration appeal to block his deportation. She also said Chupp had failed to reasonably investigate his claim, such as by contacting the lawyer to ask what she has said, and that his conduct amounted to bad faith.Referring to Chupp’s claim, Humetewa said: “That inference was wholly unreasonable, unsupported by the evidence, and antithetical to the ethical rules that guide attorney conduct.”Consequently Chupp was ordered to undertake at least one hour of legal education on each of the special role of U.S. attorneys and the need for factual claims to have evidentiary support. The deadline for this is June 30th, 2027.Trump Immigration PolicyPresident Trump has made cracking down on both illegal and certain legal immigration a central plank of his second term in the White House, with his administration declaring a national emergency at the southern border and strengthening deportation policies. This has seen more migrants deported both to their home countries, and to certain third countries such as Rwanda and Eswatini.In September a federal appeals court ruled the Trump administration’s policy of deporting immigrants to third countries is unlawful.
