U.S. Official Hints at Possible Plea Deal for Julian Assange

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:56:10 GMT

The United States is considering a plea deal that would allow WikiLeaks founder and whistleblower Julian Assange to return to Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald reported Monday.U.S. Ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy told the Morning Herald that there could be a “resolution” to Assange’s now-four-year detention in Britain. Assange, an Australian citizen, has been held in a London prison since 2019 while combating U.S. extradition efforts. He faces 18 criminal charges in the U.S., 17 of which allege violations of the Espionage Act.Kennedy’s comments come weeks after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken rebuffed Australia’s calls to end the prosecution against Assange. After a July meeting with Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong in Brisbane, Blinken said the whistleblower was “charged with very serious criminal conduct” for his role in publishing classified American government materials. The files Assange shared in 2010 included footage of a U.S. airstrike in Baghd...

BOSTON (AP) — Ivy League coaches shared stories, praise and prayers on Monday for Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens, who sustained a spinal cord injury and had a leg amputated after a bicycling accident.“He’s really working hard, every single day, to get better,” acting head coach Sammy McCorkle said on the conference’s media day Zoom call. “Everybody that knows coach Teevens knows how tough he is. … We all know Coach T. is a fighter, and he’s going to continue improving, and he’s doing that on a daily basis.”A Dartmouth graduate who quarterbacked the Big Green to the 1978 Ivy League title, Teevens led the school to five more conference championships in two stints as coach. He is a pioneer in coaching techniques, banning all tackling in practice since 2010 to lower the risk of traumatic brain injuries.Teevens, 66, was riding his bicycle in Florida in March when he was hit by a truck. His right leg was amputated; his wife, Kristen, also said in a statement that he had a spinal cord injur...

Young environmental activists prevail in first-of-its-kind climate change trial in Montana

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:56:10 GMT

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Young environmental activists scored what may be a groundbreaking legal victory Monday when a Montana judge said state agencies were violating their constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment by allowing fossil fuel development.The ruling in this first-of-its- kind trial in the U.S. adds to a small number of legal decisions around the world that have established a government duty to protect citizens from climate change.If it stands, the ruling could set an important legal precedent, though experts said its immediate impacts will be limited and state officials pledged to seek to overturn the decision on appeal.District Court Judge Kathy Seeley found the policy the state uses in evaluating requests for fossil fuel permits — which does not allow agencies to evaluate the effects of greenhouse gas emissions — is unconstitutional.Judge Seeley wrote in the ruling that “Montana’s emissions and climate change have been proven to be a substantial factor in ...

Ivy League football coaches praise conference’s stability (and wish they weren’t so alone)

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:56:10 GMT

BOSTON (AP) — There’s one college football conference sitting out the reshuffling going on among its big-money brethren: The Ivy League will start the season with the same eight members it has had since it formed in 1956.“It’s lunacy going on nationally right now,” Brown coach James Perry said on the Ivy League Media Day Zoom on Monday. “This league has always put the student-athlete first, his interests first, making him the best ballplayer he can be while still being a student. … In the changing landscape of college athletics, that’s how you do things right over a very, very long period of time.”Conference realignment has been going on for decades, but the pace accelerated this year with moves that bulldozed longtime league affiliations and the regional rivalries they fostered. By next season, the traditional Midwestern power Big Ten will have 18 members from UCLA and Southern California on the West Coast to Rutgers and Maryland in the East.The root of the problem: An influx...
