Placards supporting Jimmy Kimmel have been left outside his studio in Los Angeles
US TV hosts back Kimmel and lampoon Trump in free speech row
WASHINGTON – America's late-night TV hosts have rallied behind fellow comedian Jimmy Kimmel after he was suspended by ABC in a row over comments he made about the killing of Charlie Kirk. Stephen Colbert began his show by saying "we are all Jimmy Kimmel", and said the star's removal was a "blatant assault on freedom of speech". Seth Meyers declared it was "a privilege and honour to call Jimmy Kimmel my friend", while Jon Stewart and Jimmy Fallon tackled the free speech issue by doing satirical sketches in which they were apparently forced to praise Donald Trump. Their broadcasts came shortly after the US president said the main networks were overwhelmingly negative about him and could have their licences "taken away". The row...

Trump 'grateful beyond words' for second state visit to UK but key differences remain
LONDON — US President Donald Trump wrapped up his historic second state visit to the United Kingdom on Thursday saying he was "tremendously thankful" for the pomp and pageantry but some key differences between him and Prime Minister Keir Starmer remain.When asked about the lack of progress in brokering a deal to end Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Trump said that Russian President Vladimir Putin has "let me down."Starmer said he and Trump had discussed how to "decisively increase the pressure on Putin" and that Trump had "led the way here."Trump has also not made good on threats to impose new sanctions on Russia and King Charles, in his state banquet speech Wednesday night, offered Trump a gentle nudge, noting "as tyranny once...

Lula said if the 6 January 2021 Capitol riot had happened in Brazil rather than in the US, Trump would have been put on trial
I have no relationship with Trump, Brazil's Lula says
BRASILIA – Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has told the BBC in an exclusive interview that he has "no relationship" with US President Donald Trump.Lula has frequently criticised Trump, but this is the clearest signal yet that he thinks communication between him and his US counterpart is now broken.Even though the US has a trade surplus with Brazil, Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods in July, citing the trial on coup charges of Brazil's right-wing former president Jair Bolsonaro as a trigger.Lula described the tariffs as "eminently political" and said US consumers would be facing higher prices for Brazilian goods as a result.The tariffs imposed by Trump have hit Brazilian exports to the US, like coffee and beef, which Lula said...

Judge tosses terrorism charge against suspect in healthcare CEO shooting 
NEW YORK – A New York judge dismissed terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione on Tuesday in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, but kept the state's second-degree murder charges against him.Mangione's lawyers argued that the New York case and a parallel federal death penalty prosecution amounted to double jeopardy.But Judge Gregory Carro rejected that argument, saying it would be premature to make such a determination.It's Mangione's first court appearance in the state case since February.The 27-year-old Ivy League graduate has attracted a cult following as a stand-in for frustrations with the health insurance industry.Dozens of his supporters showed up to his last hearing, many wearing the colour green associated with the character Luigi in the Super...

Tyler Robinson is accused of killing right-wing activist Charlie Kirk
Prosecutors seek death penalty for Charlie Kirk murder suspect Tyler Robinson
SALT LAKE CITY – Prosecutors charged Tyler Robinson, who is accused of killing prominent conservative political activist Charlie Kirk, with aggravated murder on Tuesday and announced they would seek the death penalty.Kirk’s assassination six days ago at an event at Utah Valley University sent shockwaves across the country and is the latest incident of violence tearing through American politics.Utah County prosecutors charged Robinson through an information document rather than an indictment. An information court document allows prosecutors to charge someone directly and requires a probable cause hearing, during which a judge determines if there is sufficient evidence to proceed.The charging document for the 22-year-old suspect outlines evidence collected by investigators, including DNA...

Trump extends shutdown deadline after reaching tentative deal to save TikTok
NEW YORK – A proposal to save TikTok from going dark in the United States would involve investments from a number of US-based venture capital firms, private equity funds and tech companies. Together, the investors would create a new US-based company that will operate the app domestically, sources familiar with the framework told CNN.The framework of the agreement, which was hammered out by US and Chinese negotiators in Madrid this week, largely mirrors the deal presented to the President Donald Trump in April, before the president announced steep tariffs on China that scrambled talks with Beijing over the popular social media app.Among the investors, which are expected to own a roughly 80% stake in TikTok, with Chinese shareholders holding the rest, are Oracle, Andreessen Horowitz and...
