Published by Daniella Wilson

The man accused of fatally stabbing veteran actor James Handy has been referred to a specialist mental health court after his lawyer told a Los Angeles judge that he was currently unable to participate in legal proceedings. Michael Gledhill, 44, is charged with the murder of the 81-year-old actor, who appeared in films including Top Gun: Maverick, Jumanji and Logan. Prosecutors allege the attack took place at James’ Tarzana home on Wednesday, June 3 2026. Michael did not appear in court on Friday, remaining in custody at the Van Nuys courthouse. During the brief hearing, his public defender, Javier Trincado, told Judge John Reid that his client was not currently able to assist in his own defence. © ABCThe actor starred in more than 150 projects throughout his career “We’re asking the court to declare a doubt,” Javier said, using terminology that indicates concerns about a defendant’s mental competency to stand trial.

Partial win for Mirror as four hacking claims deemed out of time

Partial win for Mirror as four hacking claims deemed out of time

Published by Sam Flores

Paul Sculfor. Distributed by Hamlins Four hacking claims against the publisher of the Mirror have been dismissed as a judge found the claimants could have known they had a case before the six-year time limit was up. However one case against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) from a pool of test cases was allowed to continue. Some 57 people are suing MGN, with five cases being used in a preliminary trial to determine whether they should be dismissed as they were brought too late because they came more than six years after the claimants should have known they had a potential case. At the hearing in January, lawyers for MGN said the publisher “accepts the allegations of wrongdoing against it” and “concealed its voicemail interception and other unlawful information gathering at the time that it was taking place”, but said the claims should be dismissed as they could have been brought earlier. The five cases heard were those of publicist Melanie Cantor, PR agent Murray Harkin, model Paul Sculfor, dancer Camilla Sacre-Dallerup and designer Patrick Cox. …

Blacklisted: Anthropic Officially Deemed ‘Supply Chain Risk’ As Dario Crawls Back To Negotiating Table

Published by Jenni Sidey

Update (1430ET): While Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is begging the Trump administration to reconsider dumping them over ethical concerns regarding military applications of their AI, the Pentagon just put one more nail in that coffin – officially deeming the company a supply chain risk, Bloomberg reports. “DOW officially informed Anthropic leadership the company and its products are deemed a supply chain risk, effective immediately,” a Department of War official told the outlet.  The designation, typically reserved for foreign adversaries, follows President Trump’s directive for federal agencies to phase out Anthropic tools within six months, with contractors potentially barred from commercial dealings. OpenAI has already capitalized, securing a revised contract that Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei has publicly slammed as mostly “safety theater” – superficial safeguards prone to jailbreaks and lacking true oversight on real-world applications like mass domestic surveillance or autonomous lethal weapons. As reported below, Amodei has personally reopened direct negotiations with Under Secretary Emil Michael to salvage or renegotiate terms – telling investors the push is to “de-escalate” and find an agreement that “works for us and works for them,” …

US to Stop Collecting Tariffs Deemed Illegal by Supreme Court on Tuesday

Published by Sam Flores

WASHINGTON, Feb 23 (Reuters) – The ⁠U.S. ⁠Customs and Border Protection ⁠agency said it will halt collections of tariffs ​imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act at 12:01 a.m. EST (0501 ‌GMT) on Tuesday, more ‌than three days after the U.S. Supreme Court declared the ⁠duties ⁠illegal. The agency said in a message to shippers on its ​Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) that it will de-activate all tariff codes associated with President Donald Trump’s prior IEEPA-related orders as of Tuesday. The IEEPA ​tariff collection halt coincides with Trump’s imposition of a new, 15% ⁠global ⁠tariff under a different ⁠legal ​authority to replace the ones struck down by the Supreme Court on ​Friday. CBP gave no ⁠reason why it was continuing to collect the tariffs at ports of entry days after the Supreme Court’s ruling, and its message offered no information about possible refunds for importers. The message noted ⁠that the collection halt does not affect any other tariffs imposed ⁠by Trump, including those under the Section 232 national security statute and the Section 301 …
