Taylor Swift's Surprise: New Songs and a Touching Tribute to Fans New

Taylor Swift's Surprise: New Songs and a Touching Tribute to Fans

A showgirl must never leave before her encore, and Taylor Swift is ready for hers with an extended version of her 12th album. “About a year ago, you guys did a truly unfathomable thing. Something that completely blew my mind,” Swift, 36, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, September 23. “You gave The Life of a Showgirl the biggest first week for an album in history.” Swift wrote and recorded The Life of a Showgirl in between stops on her Eras Tour. The LP dropped in October 2025, nearly one year after the global tour came to a close, and quickly broke multiple streaming and purchase records. “I took a trip to Sweden to celebrate with Max [Martin] and Shellback, my two collaborators on this album,” she noted on Wednesday. “Really we just wanted to reflect and take in how grateful we were for the moment we were in, but there was a studio there and we did what we do when we feel anything at all: We wrote more songs.” The pop star added, “I hope you love them, because they were born out of pure gratitude for your exuberance for and celebration of the album we made.” Swift collaborated with Martin, 55, and Shellback, 41, on four new songs, which will be included on the deluxe edition of The Life of a Showgirl, out Friday, September 25. One of Swift’s new songs is titled “Patient Zero,” which she previously announced Tuesday, September 22. “I’ve been impatiently waiting to tell you that my brand new single ‘Patient Zero’ will be out on September 25 (!!!!!!!!!!!!),” she wrote via Instagram, using 12 exclamation points to seemingly reference her 12th record. “It’s available to pre-order now on my website for 24 hours. 0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣.” The other songs, according to a Spotify tracklist, are called "Cleveland!", "Pink Clouding" and "Babylon." Swift’s husband and Cleveland native, Travis Kelce, dropped a subtle “like” on the single announcement. Swift and Kelce, 36, have been married since July — and the NFL star was the muse for several songs on The Life of a Showgirl. “The song ‘Wish List’ is one that I love so much because it’s really romantic, it’s got a lot of really vivid imagery of different wishes people have for how they want their lives to be,” Swift said about one of her loved-up tracks during her Release Party of a Showgirl screening in October 2025. “It’s very accepting of all of those … and then in the chorus, it’s like, ‘This is what I want. I hope they get what they want. This is what I want.’ I just love this one. It makes me feel like I’m flying through clouds.”

Demi's Journey: From Partying to a New Life After Nose Collapse New

Demi's Journey: From Partying to a New Life After Nose Collapse

Published 13:19 23 Sep 2026 GMT+1Demi opened up about her story, and had surgery to repair the damage which had been done by drug abuseA woman shared how she had surgery for a new nose after her nose collapsed due to drug abuse.Demi, short for Demitra, appeared on the show Botched, where people who have previously had unsuccessful plastic surgery get a consultation and can have the surgery redone.She revealed in the show on YouTube that after splitting up with a boyfriend she would go out 'partying' a lot, which involved taking cocaine regularly, though she said 'not every day', over a period of 10 years, and it 'became a habit' when she went out.Unfortunately, this took a big toll on Demi's body, eventually leading to her nose collapsing. Advert"In my thirties I split up with my partner so I was going out a lot more, partying 24/7, doing cocaine, half a gram a night, maybe a gram sometimes, obviously way too much," she told the show.Demi went on to recount how she hadn't seen what was happening to her, saying: "I was too busy having more lines, doing more drugs, getting more drunk, partying all the time that I didn't even notice what was going on with my nose."Demi before her reconstructive surgery (E! Entertainment via YouTube)Demi explained that she had previously stopped taking cocaine for around a year after she had an initial operation to repair the damage that had been caused to her nose.Unfortunately, this operation had not been successful, and Demi was left with a collapsed nose, affecting her self-esteem, happiness, and making it difficult to breathe and to sleep."When I was growing up my nose just looked normal, but over the years my nose started to fall apart," she said."In 2010 I decided I needed to have my nose fixed so I had surgery, but it didn't work and then three weeks after my surgery my nose was collapsing."Demi also shared how her nose collapsing has affected her life and health, saying: "I feel I look horrific, my nose looks concave, crinkly, I look like a character from Avatar. I feel ugly, and it makes me feel so unhappy."And the impact doesn't stop at that either, as Demi explained: "I have difficulty breathing when I'm sleeping, I breathe through my mouth, it wakes me up throughout the whole night, so I'm not even sleeping properly because of my nose."Demi after her surgery (E! Entertainment via YouTube)She also revealed that it has had an impact on her love life as well, and she has not had a relationship for several years."The last time I actually went on a date or had a boyfriend was about seven years ago," she said.Now, Demi said that she has changed her lifestyle, drinking less alcohol, as well as giving up smoking and giving up cocaine."I've stopped smoking, I don't drink so much now, and I've stopped cocaine," she said. "Now is the time to wake up and start living." Explaining why she gave up, she said: "I just had enough of it. People were saying, oh, Demi's great, Demi's the life and soul of the party, and I am."After appearing on the show, Demi was able to have a successful procedure, and was delighted with the result, saying: "Before surgery with Dr Nassif, my nose looked disgusting, the definition from the side angle was just flat, you couldn't see nostrils or anything, but now my nose is amazing!"Featured Image Credit: E!

Harvey Weinstein's Shocking 15-Year Sentence Stirs Public Reaction

Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Wednesday, after being convicted for sexually assaulting former “Project Runway” production assistant Miriam “Mimi” Haley in 2006.The 74-year-old disgraced movie mogul appeared in a downtown Manhattan courtroom in a wheelchair when he learned his fate, according to The Post.Prosecutors wanted Weinstein to get 20 years behind bars, while his lawyers asked for a nine-year sentence.Weinstein’s sentencing will be followed by five years of supervised release and a requirement that he register as a sex offender.Harvey Weinstein (seen here) was sentenced to 15 years in prison for his New York sexual assault case. Steven Hirsch for NY Post Weinstein (pictured here) told the courtroom, “I am not a perfect person. I am a person who has made mistakes.” Steven Hirsch for NY Post“I am not a perfect person. I am a person who has made mistakes,” Weinstein said in the courtroom. “I am not a violent man. I ask for mercy.”He also said, “I really do have remorse for Miriam Haley, but I have to reiterate my innocence.”Haley, 49, attended the hearing with her lawyer, Gloria Allred, and read a victim impact statement aloud in the courtroom, saying Weinstein “abused his position and power” and caused a “devastating effect on my life and security.”“It is a life sentence for me,” she added.He also said, “I really do have remorse for Miriam Haley, but I have to reiterate my innocence.” Steven Hirsch for NY PostThe disgraced movie mogul was convicted in 2025 of sexually assaulting former “Project Runway” production assistant Miriam “Mimi” Haley in 2006, after the initial ruling was overturned in 2024. Steven Hirsch for NY PostHaley accused Weinstein of sexually assaulting her at his SoHo loft in 2006.Following a 2020 trial in Manhattan Supreme Court, the ex-Miramax boss was initially found guilty and sentenced to 23 years in prison.However, four years later, the New York Court of Appeals overturned the ruling with a 4-3 vote.At the time, it was reportedly decided that testimony from “prior bad acts” witnesses should not have been allowed because it “was unnecessary to establish defendant’s intent and served only to establish defendant’s propensity to commit the crimes charged.”Following a second trial with a new judge, Weinstein was found guilty of sexually assaulting Haley in Manhattan Criminal Court in June 2025.Haley (seen here with her attorney, Gloria Allred) accused Weinstein of sexually assaulting her at his SoHo loft in 2006.

I was trying to push him away from me. I was trying to get him to stop kissing me and grabbing me,” she described, claiming Weinstein then “forcefully” performed oral sex on her.“I don’t remember all that much from the moment,” she said. “I decided to check out.”Weinstein (seen here with ex-wife Georgia Chapman in 2006) was found guilty of sexually assaulting Haley during the retrial.

Avukat Mariah Medina'nın Kıyafet Tartışması Sosyal Medyayı Salladı New

Avukat Mariah Medina'nın Kıyafet Tartışması Sosyal Medyayı Salladı

San Antonio’da daha önce muhabirlik yapan, ardından savunma avukatlığına başlayan Mariah Medina, yaşadığı olayı sosyal medya hesabından anlattı.Medina, X üzerinden yaptığı paylaşımda, “Bugün bir hakim, mahkeme için uygunsuz giyindiğimi söylediğinde üzerimde bu kıyafet vardı” ifadelerini kullandı. Avukat ayrıca olay sırasında giydiği elbisenin fotoğrafını da paylaştı.Medina’nın anlatımına göre hakim, kendisini kürsünün yanına çağırarak kıyafetini diğer kişilerin önünde değerlendirdi. Hakimin, elbisenin jüri duruşması için uygun olup olmadığını sorduğu ve Medina’ya aracında bir ceket bulunup bulunmadığını yönelttiği belirtildi."HERKESİN ÖNÜNDE KÜÇÜK DÜŞÜRDÜ"Medina, üzerinde kolları açıkta bırakan gri renkli bir J.Crew elbisesi bulunduğunu söyledi.Elbiseyi daha önce televizyon programlarında ve farklı mahkemelerde giydiğini belirten avukat, bugüne kadar kıyafetiyle ilgili benzer bir uyarı almadığını ifade etti.Medina, elbisenin sırtının açık olmadığını ve göğüs bölgesinde de belirgin bir dekolte bulunmadığını göstermek amacıyla, gazetecilik yaptığı dönemde aynı kıyafetle yer aldığı eski bir videosunu da paylaştı.Mahkemenin kıyafet kurallarına uyduğunu savunan Medina, Bexar County Ceza Mahkemesi'nde avukatlar ve mahkeme görevlileri için iş kıyafeti şartı bulunduğunu, ancak hakimlerin uygun gördüğü durumlarda daha rahat kıyafetlere de izin verilebildiğini belirtti. Medina, hakimin kuralları kendi yorumuna göre uyguladığını ileri sürerek, “Mahkemenin kapısında bulunan kıyafet kurallarında bu elbisenin yasak olduğu yazmıyordu. Buna rağmen konuyu ele alış şekli tamamen kötü niyetli ve profesyonellikten uzaktı” dedi.Avukat ayrıca, mahkeme salonunda yasaklanan kıyafetlerin bulunduğu bir liste olduğunu ancak kendi elbisesinin bu listede yer almadığını savundu.Medina, “Muhafazakar bir kilisede büyüdüm ve gerçekten kafam karıştı. Elbisenin boyu uygun, göğüs dekoltesi yok. Allah aşkına, bu bir J.Crew elbisesi; bir gece kulübü kıyafeti değil” ifadelerini kullandı."BUNDAN SONRA CEKET GİYERİM"Yaşananlara tepki gösteren Medina, konuyu daha fazla büyütmek istemediğini belirterek aynı hakimin mahkemesinde sorun yaşamamak için bundan sonra ceket giymeyi tercih edeceğini söyledi.Avukat, “Bu uğruna mücadele edilecek bir konu değil. Hakimin görev süresinin sona ermesine birkaç ay kala, mahkemesine girdiğimde üzerime bir ceket geçirmek benim için sorun değil” dedi.Mahkeme salonundaki kıyafet tartışması sosyal medyada da farklı görüşlerin ortaya çıkmasına neden oldu.Bazı kullanıcılar Medina’nın elbisesinin mahkeme ortamı açısından uygunsuz olmadığını savunurken, bazıları ise mahkeme salonunda kıyafet konusunda son sözün hakime ait olması gerektiğini belirtti.Bir kullanıcı, “Bu elbisede yanlış olan hiçbir şey göremiyorum. Hakim neden böyle söyledi?” yorumunu yaparken, başka bir kullanıcı da elbisenin farklı ortamlarda kabul edildiğini belirterek yaşananların kafa karıştırıcı olduğunu ifade etti.Buna karşılık bazı sosyal medya kullanıcıları ise hakimin tutumunu destekledi. Bir kullanıcı, “Bir hakim mahkeme salonunda bunu giymenin uygunsuz olduğunu söylüyorsa, uygunsuzdur” değerlendirmesinde bulundu.Medina daha sonra bir atış poligonunda çekilmiş videosunu da sosyal medya hesabından paylaştı. Bir kullanıcının avukatın açıkta kalan kollarına gönderme yaparak yaptığı espriye Medina da karşılık verdi.Avukat, “Silah taşımamla tanınıyor olabilirim ama artık kollarımı açıkta bırakmamla daha çok tanınacakmışım gibi görünüyor” diyerek tartışmaya esprili bir yanıt verdi. www.sozcu.com.tr internet sitesinde yayınlanan yazı, haber ve fotoğrafların her türlü telif hakkı Mega Ajans ve Rek.

Ella Langley Breaks Mariah Carey's Record with Unexpected Chart Triumph New

Ella Langley Breaks Mariah Carey's Record with Unexpected Chart Triumph

Move over, Mariah.Ella Langley credited her hit song “Choosin’ Texas” for “changing her life” after she broke Mariah Carey’s record for the longest run at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.“I’m genuinely trying to find the words to help explain what’s going on in my brain today,” Langley, 27, said on Tuesday in an Instagram video posted from beside her pool just hours after the record was announced.“Choosin’ Texas” has spent 23 weeks atop the chart since February, surpassing Carey’s 1994 hit “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which held the record at 22 weeks, accumulated across the holiday seasons from 2019 through 2026.Ella Langley broke Mariah Carey’s Billboard Hot 100 record with “Choosin’ Texas,” hitting 23 weeks at No. 1.“Thank you so much. Thank you for loving this song. For listening to it. I don’t even know what to say at this point. I’m running out of hyperboles to describe how I feel, so I will just let my dog in the background show you his excitement,” Langley continued.The country star joked she was waiting to be pranked. “It’s changing my life. It’s changing the lives of the writers of this song. It’s changing the lives of my family and it is truly growing in atmosphere for something I’m going to be able to do for the rest of my life,” she said.“It doesn’t feel like a real thing. It feels fake and somebody is going to come and say, ‘Haha, we’re kidding the whole time.’”Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” held the record for longest-running No. 1 of all time at 22 weeks. CBS via Getty Images“I’m going to go out and celebrate tonight and I’m really excited to just experience a moment like this in my life,” she added.“Choosin’ Texas” debuted on the Hot 100 in November 2025 and became Langley’s first top 10 hit in January before reaching No. 1 in February. The song has now spent 48 weeks on the chart overall, Billboard reported.The Hot 100 combines US streaming, radio airplay and sales data across all genres.The song, which Langley co-wrote alongside Luke Dick, Miranda Lambert and Joybeth Taylor, collected 21.8 million official streams in the latest tracking week, down 9 percent from the previous week, while its radio audience rose 2 percent to 58.3 million impressions.It is also in the top 10 on the pop airplay, adult-pop airplay and adult contemporary charts.But Langley’s record could face a challenge from Carey when Christmas arrives.“All I Want for Christmas Is You,” released in 1994, has returned to No. 1 during the holiday season every year since it first topped the Hot 100 in 2019.Langley credited “Choosin’ Texas” for “changing her life” and joked she was waiting to be pranked. Columbia RecordsThe closest songs to Langley and Carey on the all-time Hot 100 leaderboard are Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” from 2024 and Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, from 2019, which each spent 19 weeks at No. 1.Langley also appeared to take a stab at Doja Cat last month after the rapper was asked during an appearance on the “Sundae Conversation” podcast if she was a fan of Langley.“I don’t know what that is,” Doja said, to which Langley later posted, “Ella Langley?

Texas Lawyer's Courtroom Outfit Sparks Heated Debate Online New

Texas Lawyer's Courtroom Outfit Sparks Heated Debate Online

A Texas attorney claimed a no-nonsense judge called her out over her “inappropriate” dress in front of her peers and other defendants because the outfit exposed her shoulders. Mariah Medina, a former San Antonio-based reporter turned defense lawyer, shared the shocking update alongside a photo of the controversial dress that she wore during a two-minute trial announcement docket.“This is what I was wearing today when a judge said that I was inappropriately dressed for court,” Medina wrote on X Monday, sharing a photo of herself outside the Bexar County Government building.Defense lawyer Mariah Medina poses in the dress she was wearing when she was called out by a judge during a session inside Bexar County Court on Sept. 21, 2026. X/MMedinanewsMedina attended the session, which she said described as a quick in-and-out ordeal, before the judge ordered her to approach the bench for a closer look.“She had me come around the bench so she could see my outfit… in front of defendants and other lawyers,” Medina said. “She laughed and asked if I really believed that my dress was appropriate for a jury trial… then asked me if I had a blazer in my car.”The controversial outfit Medina dared to wear to court was a simple gray shift dress from J.Crew that showed off her arms.“It’s a dress I’ve worn on air countless times and a dress that I have worn to other courts without issue,” she said, revealing she opted for the dress instead of a blouse that allegedly showed more cleavage.Medina also shared a video of herself wearing the dress when she was still a reporter for a further view of the entire outfit.“I posted that old video alongside the photo so you could see it wasn’t backless and doesn’t show side boob or anything,” she said.This is what I was wearing today when a judge said that I was inappropriately dressed for court. It’s a dress I’ve worn on air countless times and a dress that I have worn to other courts without issue. I was confused, so I explained that it’s a shift dress… pic.twitter.com/PUIeyOKGFS— Mariah Medina (@MMedinanews) September 21, 2026Medina insisted she complied with the courthouse rules and the judge’s dress code despite the humiliation inside the courtroom.Bexar County Criminal Court rules state that all attorneys and court officials should wear business attire, but business casual wear is acceptable if allowed by individual judges.Medina ripped into the judge for her loose interpretation of her own rules.“Apart from her having her dress code on the doors outside her court (that my dress didn’t violate), it was completely mean spirited and unprofessional to address it in the manner that she did. My case wasn’t even going to trial today, and she, as the judge, knew that,” Medina said.“She has a list of things that she forbids in court re: attire, but this is not on that list. I grew up in a conservative church and I was truly confused. It’s appropriate length, doesn’t expose cleavage… it’s a J Crew dress for crying out loud, not a Hoochies Anonymous Club,” she added.The former reporter shared a video of herself in the studio wearing the same dress that got her called out by the judge. X/MMedinanewsMedina shared the old video to show it “wasn’t backless and doesn’t show side boob or anything.” X/MMedinanewsThe young lawyer blasted the judge but said she would cover up whenever she’s in her courtroom.“It’s not the hill to die on and I have no problem throwing a coat on in the couple months she has left on the bench after being voted out of office.The courtroom debacle divided the internet as many sided with Medina, but some ruled against her for the unsuitable fashion choice.“Is there something wrong with my eyes? I don’t see anything wrong with this dress. Why would this judge say that?” one user asked.“A shift dress is a shift dress If it’s been acceptable everywhere else, I’d be confused too,” a second comment read.“If a judge says it’s inappropriate to wear in their courtroom. It’s inappropriate end of discussion,” another said.“I agree with the judge. He should have held you in contempt and tossed you in jail for 10 days. Then maybe you’d learn to dress.” added another.Looks like a SECOND Amendment case. Right to bare arms. Nobody pointed that out?” added another comment as Medina posted a video of herself at a shooting range.“Have been known to bear arms but now may be better known for bare arms?” she said in a Tuesday night post.

Lottery Winner's Fifth Arrest Raises Eyebrows: What Happened This Time? New

Lottery Winner's Fifth Arrest Raises Eyebrows: What Happened This Time?

Published 12:58 22 Sep 2026 GMT+1James Farthing was arrested just days after the huge Powerball win last yearIn April 2025, James Farthing won what was the largest Powerball jackpot ever won in Kentucky at a mega $167.3 million.But since claiming his big winnings last year, he has been arrested five times.Most recently, the 51-year-old was taken into custody in the early hours of Sunday morning (20 September). WLEX reported that police found Farthing asleep in a running car parked at a Walmart in Georgetown, US.He was taken into custody and charged with alcohol intoxication in a public place.AdvertPrior to this, the lottery winner has faces arrests for alleged charges of battery, intimidation, burglary, marijuana possession and domestic violence.Farthing’s public intoxication case is currently pending in Scott County District Court and he is reportedly set to be arraigned today.He's been arrested five times since his big win. (Pinellas County Sheriff's Office)Deputies were called at around 2:57am on Sunday morning after it was reported that a white Ford Mustang with a temporary tag stopped in the middle of an intersection.The member of the public who called it in told dispatchers that the car then drove into the Walmart car park and parked near charging stations for electric vehicles.WLEX reports that the Mustang was then found running its engine in the charging area as it’s said Farthing was asleep inside it with no one else present.He apparently did not initially respond and only woke up after deputies had repeatedly knocked on the car.The arresting deputy reported noting several signs of impairment such as bloodshot and watery eyes, difficulty maintaining balance and slurred speech. It’s also alleged that the deputies could smell alcohol and marijuana.Farthing reportedly claimed a woman had driven him to the car park and left him there, but this is reportedly contradicted by surveillance footage showing the vehicle arriving there without anyone getting out before officers arrived.He is set to be arraigned on 22 September. (Fayette County Detention Center)Just days after the man claimed his Powerball prize, he was arrested in Florida following an altercation at a resort. He faced charges of battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest.And in February this year, he was arrested in Kentucky and charged with intimidation of a participant in the legal process.Then, in March, he faced charges of second-degree burglary and marijuana possession – this case was later dismissed.Most recently before this public intoxication case, he was arrested in Scott County in July following an alleged domestic violence incident. He pleaded not guilty and a judge set his bond at $15,000.The LADbible Group has contacted Kentucky State Police for comment.Featured Image Credit: Scott County Police DepartmentTopics: True Crime, US News, Crime

Avokati britanik Toby Cadman ka komentuar dënimet e ish-krerëve të UÇK-së nga Dhomat e Specializuara të Kosovës në Hagë, duke shprehur shqetësimin e tij për kohëzgjatjen e dënimeve, veçanërisht ato prej 25 vitesh të dhëna për Hashim Thaçin dhe Jakup Krasniqin.VAZHDO LEXIMIN ME POSHTE!Cadman, i cili në të kaluarën ka përfaqësuar Nasim Haradinajn dhe thotë se njeh mënyrën e funksionimit të Dhomave të Specializuara, i ka cilësuar dënimet si “shumë zhgënjyese”. Sipas tij, një nga shqetësimet kryesore lidhet me shkallën e lartë të dënimeve të dhëna në këtë proces.Duke folur për mundësinë e apelimit, avokati britanik tha se mbrojtja duhet të përqendrohet në mënyrën se si janë trajtuar deklarimet e dëshmitarëve të mbrojtjes. Ai argumentoi se kjo çështje mund të përdoret si pjesë e argumentimit për të kërkuar rrëzimin e aktgjykimeve.“Sa i përket apelit, mendoj që duhet të argumentohet shpërfillja e dëshmive të dëshmitarëve të mbrojtjes”, tha Cadman. Sipas tij, dëshmitë e mbrojtjes janë shpërfillur dhe kjo duhet të argumentohet fuqishëm gjatë procesit të apelimit, me mundësinë që një argument i tillë të çojë në rrëzimin e aktgjykimeve.Cadman tha gjithashtu se, si avokat, ai vazhdon të ketë shpresë dhe besim në institucionet gjyqësore. Ai e përmendi procesin e apelit si një nga zhvillimet që pret të ndjekë më tej, duke e lidhur këtë me mundësinë që argumentet e mbrojtjes të shqyrtohen në një fazë tjetër të procesit.Një tjetër çështje e ngritur prej tij lidhet me faktin se, sipas Cadman, procesi ka ndjekur penalisht vetëm njërën palë të konfliktit. Sipas tij, kjo situatë ndikon në mënyrën se si perceptohet legjitimiteti i institucionit dhe përbën një nga shqetësimet që ai ka lidhur me procesin.“Kur një proces është ngritur për të ndjekur penalisht vetëm njërën palë të konfliktit, veçanërisht palën që ka vuajtur më së shumti, kjo ndikon në legjitimitetin e institucionit”, deklaroi ai, duke shprehur kështu qëndrimin e tij lidhur me mënyrën se si është zhvilluar procesi.Cadman ngriti shqetësime edhe për formulimin sipas të cilit vendimi jepet në emër të popullit të Kosovës. Ai tha se kjo ka shkaktuar shqetësime dhe përmendi edhe lëvizjet me sloganin “Jo në emrin tim”, duke argumentuar se, sipas tij, është e vështirë që institucioni të barazohet me një gjykatë të Kosovës.“Ky është një tribunal ndërkombëtar në çdo aspekt, përveç emrit”, tha Cadman, duke shprehur interpretimin e tij për natyrën e Dhomave të Specializuara. Kjo deklaratë ishte pjesë e argumentimit të tij lidhur me mënyrën se si ai e sheh institucionin dhe marrëdhënien e tij me Kosovën.Sa i përket mundësisë së ndryshimit të ligjit për Dhomat e Specializuara, Cadman tha se një hap i tillë do të ishte i vështirë për shkak të presionit ndërkombëtar. Ai përmendi në këtë kontekst edhe presionin që, sipas tij, do të mund të vinte nga Bashkimi Evropian dhe Shtetet e Bashkuara të Amerikës.Në të njëjtën kohë, avokati britanik foli për një mundësi tjetër: zhvillimin e procedurave të apelit në Kosovë. Sipas tij, ligji nuk e përjashton në mënyrë të drejtpërdrejtë mundësinë që procedurat të zhvillohen në Kosovë, duke qenë se në ligj përmendet selia në Kosovë dhe diku tjetër.Cadman argumentoi se zhvillimi i procedurave në Kosovë do të ishte, sipas tij, më i përshtatshëm sepse ngjarjet për të cilat është zhvilluar procesi kanë ndodhur në Kosovë. Ai theksoi se Kosova nuk ka fuqi për t’i kërkuar institucionit apo BE-së që ta ndryshojë këtë, por sipas tij nuk ka pengesë të shprehur që seancat e apelit të zhvillohen në Kosovë.Në këtë kuadër, Cadman përmendi edhe marrëveshjen e shtetit pritës mes Kosovës dhe Holandës dhe tha se ajo përmban një klauzolë që, sipas tij, mund t’i japë Kosovës mundësinë për të paraqitur një kërkesë në arbitrazh. Ai e paraqiti këtë si një çështje që potencialisht mund të shqyrtohet nga autoritetet shtetërore, ndërsa theksoi sërish preferencën e tij që procedurat të zhvillohen në vendin ku kanë ndodhur ngjarjet. /Euronews PV: 922
