Appeals court upholds gag order on Trump in Washington case but narrows restrictions on his speech

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:34:01 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals court in Washington on Friday upheld a gag order on former President Donald Trump in his 2020 election interference case but narrowed the restrictions on his speech.The three-judge panel’s ruling modifies the gag order to allow the Republican 2024 presidential front-runner to make disparaging comments about special counsel Jack Smith.But the court upheld the ban on public statements about known or reasonably foreseeable witnesses concerning their potential participation in the case.“By broadly proscribing any statements about or directed to the Special Counsel and the court’s and counsel’s staffs, as well as reasonably foreseeable witnesses or their testimony, the Order sweeps too broadly,” the court said in its opinion. “It captures some constitutionally protected speech that lacks the features or content that would trench upon the court’s proper functioning or ability to administer justice.”Trump, who has described the gag order as unconst...

OpenAI saga continues as UK considers antitrust probe into its Microsoft partnership

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:34:01 GMT

(CNN) — The UK government is considering an antitrust probe of Microsoft’s relationship with OpenAI, saying the deal that resolved a recent and dramatic leadership crisis at the AI startup raises questions about possible impacts to competition.UK regulators at the country’s Competition and Markets Authority said Friday that they are soliciting public feedback on whether to initiate an investigation to determine if the “close, multi-faceted relationship” between Microsoft and OpenAI might constitute a “relevant merger.”Microsoft, in a statement, said OpenAI will remain an independent company.“Since 2019, we’ve forged a partnership with OpenAI that has fostered more AI innovation and competition, while preserving independence for both companies,” Brad Smith, Microsoft vice chairman and president, responded with a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “The only thing that has changed is that Microsoft will now have a non-voting observer on OpenAI’s Board, which i...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:34:01 GMT

(CNN) — The US Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved two gene-based treatments for sickle cell disease, including the first therapy that uses the gene-editing technique CRISPR, opening a new era of treatments for genetic conditions.The medicines, called Casgevy and Lyfgenia, are potential cures for people with sickle cell, a debilitating and life-shortening inherited red blood cell disorder that disproportionately affects African Americans.Casgevy is the CRISPR-based treatment, made by Vertex Pharmaceuticals and Crispr Therapeutics, while Lyfgenia, made by Bluebird Bio, uses an older gene therapy approach. Both were cleared for people age 12 and older with histories of vaso-occlusive crises, painful events caused by the disease.“Sickle cell disease is a rare, debilitating and life-threatening blood disorder with significant unmet need,” said Dr. Nicole Verdun, director of the FDA’s Office of Therapeutic Products within its Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research....

Prince Harry loses a round in libel case

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:34:01 GMT

LONDON  — Prince Harry lost a preliminary round Friday in his libel case against the publisher of the Daily Mail tabloid over an article that said he tried to hide his efforts to retain publicly funded protection in the U.K. after walking away from his role as a working member of the royal family.A judge at the High Court in London ruled that Associated Newspapers Ltd. can continue to argue that the story reflected an “honest opinion” about the facts of the case and therefore was not libelous. The publisher, which is the defendant in the case, has a “real prospect” of showing that public statements issued on Harry’s behalf were misleading, the judge wrote in his decision.“I anticipate that, at trial, the defendant may well submit that this was a masterclass in the art of ‘spinning,'” Justice Matthew Nicklin wrote. “And, the defendant argues, it was successful in misleading and/or confusing the public.”A hearing is scheduled...

Patients expected Profemur artificial hips to last. Then they snapped in half

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:34:01 GMT

Brett Kelman, Anna Werner, CBS News | (TNS) KFF Health NewsBradley Little, a physical education teacher in Arizona, was leading his class through a school hallway in 2017 when he collapsed. Little feared he was having a stroke. Or, in a sign of the times, that he’d been shot. He tried to stand, but his leg wouldn’t move.A student ran for help. Firefighters arrived and hoisted Little onto a gurney. At the hospital, an X-ray revealed that the artificial hip implant in Little’s right leg had “suddenly and catastrophically structurally failed,” according to a lawsuit Little would later file in federal court. The implant severed at its “neck” — a 2-inch-long titanium part linking Little’s thigh to his torso.“It looked like a laser went through it,” Little said in an interview. “It was like someone just went in there and cut it right in the middle.”Profemur artificial hips were once considered innovative for a feature known as a “dual modular neck,” intended to modernize total hip replace...

Navy’s Xavier Arline could be the last of the true triple option quarterbacks in college football.Arline will be the Midshipmen’s boots on the ground when Navy takes on Army in the 124th rendition of America’s Game on Saturday (3 p.m.) for the first time at Gillette Stadium. Air Force beat Navy on Oct. 21 but lost to Army on Nov. 11. Army can claim sole possession for the Commander’s in Chief Trophy with a win over Navy.The nation’s three services academies, Navy, Army, and Air Force, stubbornly held on the triple option ground game while the rest of FBS expanded into more prostyle passing offenses. The 21st century triple option is derived from the original Wishbone offense instituted at Texas by coach Darrell Royal in the late 1960s.The NCAA essentially legislated the demise of the triple option when it outlawed the cut block on March 4, 2022. The new rule banned below the waist blocking outside of the tackle box in an attempt to limit knee injuries along the line of scrimmage. Na...
