Social justice law professor defends anti-Israel protesters who blocked traffic to Chicago airport
A liberal law school professor who sparked controversy last spring during the campus unrest is helping organizers who staged a large anti-Israel protest near one of Chicago's airports with free legal services. Sheila Bedi, a Northwestern law professor who leads the school's Community Justice and Civil Rights Clinic, is representing four of the protest organizers who were arrested during the mayhem, according to legal documents obtained by Fox News Digital. Bedi's clinic is offering pro bono services to the activists who were part of the massive protest that caused traffic delays for travelers heading to Chicago O'Hare Airport last spring. The demonstration lasted for several hours before being broken up by police.
Germany votes Sunday for a new government that will shape Europe’s response to an assertive Trump
German voters go to the polls Sunday to elect a new parliament that will determine how the country is run for the next four years. Europe’s biggest economy is the 27-nation European Union’s most populous nation and a leading member of NATO, as well as the second-biggest weapons supplier to Ukraine, after the United States, following Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022. Germany’s next government will be central to Europe’s response to an assertive new U.S. administration.
Brazil’s former President Bolsonaro has been charged over an alleged coup. What’s next for him?
Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro has been charged with orchestrating a plot to stay in office despite losing the 2022 election — a plot that the country’s top prosecutor says included a plan to poison his opponent, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The unprecedented charges handed down on Tuesday accuse the far-right former leader of five crimes, including a coup attempt. Another 33 people linked to Bolsonaro have also been charged.
Trump says Ukraine started the war that’s killing its citizens. What are the facts?
President Donald Trump this week falsely blamed Ukraine for starting the war that has cost tens of thousands of Ukrainian lives, causing outrage and alarm in a country that has spent nearly three years fighting back a much larger Russian military. Trump called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “ a dictator without elections” and claimed his support among voters was near rock-bottom. Zelenskyy said Wednesday that the disinformation is coming from Russia, and some of what Trump has said does echo Russia’s own narrative of the conflict.
US travel system not ready for influx of fans for major sporting events in coming years: report
The United States is hosting some major international sporting events in the next few years: the 2025 Ryder Cup, 2026 FIFA World Cup, and the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. However, the country is not ready for all the air travel that comes with those events, the U.S. Travel Association said in a report Wednesday. "Without immediate action, our outdated air travel system will strain under the pressure," the report said.
Trump warns Zelenskyy to quickly negotiate war’s end with Russia or risk not having a nation to lead
President Donald Trump on Wednesday warned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that he “better move fast” to negotiate an end to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or risk not having a nation to lead. The rhetoric from Trump toward Ukraine comes amid an escalating back-and-forth between the two presidents and rising tensions between Washington and much of Europe over Trump’s approach to settling the biggest conflict on the continent since World War II.
Yoon appears in 2 different South Korean courts while defending his martial law decree
Traveling around Seoul in a prison transport vehicle, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol appeared in two different courts on Thursday, contesting his arrest on rebellion charges in one and fighting an effort to remove him from office in the other. Both cases — one on criminal charges, one an impeachment — are related to his brief imposition of martial law in December.
As Melania Trump returns to the White House, she’s winning Chinese fans
Joyce Yip, a 39-year-old entrepreneur in southern China’s Guangzhou, has a new celebrity crush: Melania Trump. The two-time first lady has become an online celebrity in China, especially among women. That may be surprising, given her husband’s hostility toward China, but social media posts reflect an admiration for her independence, her taste in fashion and how she’s raising her teenage son. And, perhaps most importantly, her stoic allegiance to President Donald Trump despite his misogynistic comments, allegations that he’s had extramarital affairs and his being found liable for sexual abuse in a civil suit brought by a New York advice columnist.
The Australian and New Zealand militaries are monitoring 3 Chinese warships off Australia
The Australian and New Zealand militaries were monitoring three Chinese warships moving unusually far south along Australia’s east coast on an unknown mission, officials said Thursday. The Australian government revealed a week ago that the warships had traveled through Southeast Asia and the Coral Sea and were approaching northeast Australia. Defense Minister Richard Marles said Thursday that the Chinese ships — the naval frigate Hengyang, cruiser Zunyi and replenishment vessel Weishanhu — were “off the east coast of Australia.”
A look at the 8 Latin American crime groups designated as terrorist organizations by the US
The United States government is formally designating eight Latin American organized crime groups that also operate in the U.S. to be “foreign terrorist organizations.” They are involved in drug trafficking, migrant smuggling and extend their territory through violence. The Trump administration is applying a “terrorist” designation that’s normally reserved for groups like the Islamic State group or al-Qaida that use violence for political ends — not for money-focused crime rings such as the Latin American cartels. The aim is to increase pressure on the groups and anyone who the U.S. sees as aiding them. The designation will be published in Thursday’s edition of the Federal Register, according to a notice Wednesday.
