The head of the BBC and the British broadcasterâs top news executive both resigned Sunday after criticism of the way the organization edited a speech by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The BBC said Director-General Tim Davie and news CEO Deborah Turness had both decided to leave the corporation.

The report said Panoramaâs âdistortion of the dayâs eventsâ was so egregious that viewers would ask: âWhy should the BBC be trusted, and where will this all end?â
When the issue was raised with managers, they ârefused to accept there had been a breach of standardsâ. The reportâs author then warned Samir Shah, the BBC chairman, of the âvery, very dangerous precedentâ set by Panorama but received no reply.
The internal whistleblower sent a copy of the 19-page letter to every member of the BBC Board last month.
Fauci served as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infection Disease for decades, including during the outbreak of Covid in Trumpâs first presidency, and Milley served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during Trumpâs first term and has warned Trump is a fascist.

„We will clean out all of the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus, and there are plenty of them,“ Trump said.
„The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled,“ he continued. „So that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left‘s political enemies, which they‘re doing now at a level that nobody can believe even possible.“
Mit dem Tag der AmtseinfĂŒhrung soll der Umbau der Exekutive beginnen. Ziel ist eine drastische Zentralisierung der Regierungspolitik, bei der das WeiĂe Haus eine straffe Kontrolle ĂŒber alle Bundesbehörden, einschlieĂlich des Justizministeriums erhalten wĂŒrde.
Damit könnte er entscheidend auf Verfahren gegen ihn und andere Einfluss nehmen, die unter anderem am Sturm auf das Kapitol am 6. Januar 2021 beteiligt waren. Es wĂŒrde ihm auĂerdem ermöglichen, gegen Personen vorzugehen, die diese Verfahren angestoĂen haben.
Die Ministerien fĂŒr Bildung und Heimatschutz etwa sollen abgeschafft werden, die US-Bundespolizei FBI, „eine zunehmend gesetzlose Organisation“, soll von Grund auf erneuert werden.
âI think it disenfranchises voters,â said Jeremy Loew, a longtime defense lawyer in Colorado Springs who described himself as a progressive who had never voted for Mr. Trump. âOur whole system is built around people running for office and letting the voters decide.â
âWe canât just kick people off the ballot because they have been accused of something,â he added.
Former President Donald Trump was arraigned Thursday at the E. Barrett Prettyman courthouse in Washington, D.C., on criminal charges stemming from his efforts to overturn his loss in the 2020 presidential election.
Trump entered a not-guilty plea to Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya, who set the date for his next hearing on Aug. 28 at 10 a.m. before Judge Tanya Chutkan.
The first GOP debate in the 2024 presidential race is Aug. 23 in Milwaukee, Wisc.
Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty after being formally arrested and arraigned for conspiring to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
The former president was indicted on four charges by a grand jury hearing evidence in special counsel Jack Smithâs investigation into the alleged conspiracy to overturn the election and the resulting January 6 Capitol riot.

It was not public at the time, but Milley believed that the nation had come closeââvery closeââto conflict with the Islamic Republic. This dangerous post-election period, Milley said, was all because of Trumpâs âHitlerâ-like embrace of the âBig Lieâ that the election had been stolen from him; Milley feared it was Trumpâs âReichstag moment,â in which, like Adolf Hitler in 1933, he would manufacture a crisis in order to swoop in and rescue the nation from it.

Followers of Brazil‘s former president Jair Bolsonaro have stormed the countryâs political buildings. In scenes reminiscent of the 6 January invasion of the US Capitol by Donald Trump supporters in 2021, video footage shows pro-Bolsonaro militants vandalising the congress, presidential palace and supreme court as police fire tear gas to control the crowds

BrasĂlia. Nach dem Ăberfall rechter Gruppen auf das Kapitol in der US-Hauptstadt Washington hat PrĂ€sident Jair Bolsonaro fĂŒr den Fall seiner Niederlage bei den PrĂ€sidentschaftswahlen in Brasilien 2022 mit einem „schlimmeren Problem als in den USA“ gedroht.
GegenĂŒber AnhĂ€nger:innen rechtfertigte der brasilianische PrĂ€sident die ErstĂŒrmung des Kongress-GebĂ€udes in Washington. Er stehe „ganz an der Seite von Donald Trump“, so Bolsonaro. Ă
Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) is eyeing legislation that would bar former President Trump from serving in office under the 14th Amendment âfor leading an insurrection against the United States.â
„In our nationâs 246-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,â the ex-vice president and former Republican leader said in the ad released this week, sternly looking directly into the camera.
âHe tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him,â said Mr Cheney, who added that he believed most Republicans knew deep down that Mr Trumpâs conspiracies about the 2020 election were baseless
video of former Vice President Dick Cheney claiming no individual has ever been „a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump“ has gone viral on social media.
The video was posted twice on the Twitter page of Representative Liz Cheney, his daughter, who is locked in a Republican primary battle with a pro-Trump rival.

âThe Select Committee is aware of unsupported claims that Ray Epps was an FBI informant based on the fact that he was on the FBI Wanted list and then was removed from that list without being charged,â said a committee spokesman. âThe Select Committee has interviewed Mr. Epps. Mr. Epps informed us that he was not employed by, working with, or acting at the direction of any law enforcement agency on January 5th or 6th or at any other time, and that he has never been an informant for the FBI or any other law enforcement agency.â

But the records, and information from two people familiar with the matter, suggest that federal law enforcement had a far greater visibility into the assault on the Capitol, even as it was taking place, than was previously known.
At the same time, the new information is likely to complicate the governmentâs efforts to prove the high-profile conspiracy charges it has brought against several members of the Proud Boys.
Die Nationalgarde war nach der ErstĂŒrmung des US-Kongresses am 6. JĂ€nner einberufen worden, um die SicherheitskrĂ€fte des Parlaments zu verstĂ€rken. FĂŒr kurze Zeit waren deswegen rund 20.000 Soldatinnen und Soldaten in der Hauptstadt Washington aktiv â deutlich mehr als die TruppenstĂ€rke des US-MilitĂ€rs in Afghanistan und im Irak zusammengenommen zu diesem Zeitpunkt.
Like Trump, both Bibi and Hamas have kept power by inspiring and riding waves of hostility to âthe other.â They turn to this tactic anytime they are in political trouble. Indeed, they each have been the otherâs most valuable partner in that tactic ever since Netanyahu was first elected prime minister in 1996 â on the back of a wave of Hamas suicide bombings.
No, Hamas and Bibi donât talk. They donât need to. They each understand what the other needs to stay in power and consciously or unconsciously behave in ways to ensure that they deliver it.
. Heute wird die UnterstĂŒtzung der amerikanischen Mainstream-Normen fĂŒr Meinungsfreiheit aus frĂŒheren, weniger von Trump verwirrten Zeiten zunehmend als eine Art finstere Exzentrik dargestellt, zum Beispiel als Slate in den Tagen nach dem Angriff auf das Kapitol erklĂ€rte, âwir befinden uns in einem Moment, an dem die eine HĂ€lfte des Landes darum kĂ€mpft, frei von lĂ€hmenden, lebensbeendenden Akten zufĂ€lligen Terrors zu sein, wĂ€hrend die andere HĂ€lfte desselben Landes erschreckenderweise mit ihrem Recht beschĂ€ftigt ist, einfach nur ScheiĂe zu reden.â
A new CBS News/YouGov poll shows that most Americans (54%) now think that the biggest threat to their way of life comes from domestic enemies.
There is bipartisan agreement that the nationâs way of life is most threatened by individuals who are already in America, with 53% of Democrats, 56% of Republicans, and 57% of Independents each choosing that as the most significant risk. One in five Americans (20%) believe economic forces present a greater challenge, while slightly fewer (17%) chose natural disasters or viruses as a key concern.
About one in 12 Americans (8%) think foreign countries are the most looming threat, with Republicans being more likely than Democrats (4%) to say this.
No speculation is needed. Those who wield power are demanding it. The only question is how much opposition they will encounter.
Das kĂŒndigte der demokratische MehrheitsfĂŒhrer im US-Senat, Chuck Schumer, gestern an. Trumps Amtszeit ist zwar diese Woche abgelaufen â aber das Verfahren könnte eine lebenslange Ămtersperre fĂŒr ihn bringen. Die Demokraten wollen Trump wegen des Angriffs seiner AnhĂ€nger auf das US-Kapitol am 6.JĂ€nner zur Verantwortung ziehen. Sie werfen ihm âAnstiftung zum Aufruhrâ vor.
As we discussed previously, Biden has often boasted of being the original author of the Patriot Act years before it was rapidly rolled out amid the fear and blind obsequiousness of the aftermath of 9/11. Now in the aftermath of the Capitol riot we are seeing a push to roll out new authoritarian laws around terrorism, this time taking aim at âdomestic terrorâ, which were also in preparation prior to the event used to manufacture support for them.
In a new article for Washington Monthly titled âItâs Time for a Domestic Terrorism Lawâ, Bill Scher argues against left-wing critics of the coming laws like Glenn Greenwald and Jacobinâs Luke Savage saying such âknee-jerk reactionsâ against potential authoritarian abuses fail to address the growing problem. He opens with the acknowledgement that âJoe Bidenâs transition team was already working on a domestic terrorism law before the insurrection,â and then he just keeps on writing as though thatâs not weird or suspicious in any way.
Eine BĂŒrgerin der USA wurde im Kapitol erschossen. Das ist eine ziemlich gewichtige Nachricht â und zwar unabhĂ€ngig davon, ob es sich bei der Erschossenen um eine Trump-AnhĂ€ngerin handelt oder man den Sturm auf das Kapitol verurteilt. Medien sollten sehr schnell und sehr genau schauen, was es mit diesem Tod auf sich hat, um die Informationen auch an die deutschen Mediennutzer weiterzugeben â im Sinne einer umfassenden Berichterstattung.
