Martinez’s lawyer, Patrick Baghdaserians, argued that the post breached a temporary restraining order and sought to question Berry about it in court. Berry’s lawyer, Marina Beck, described the application as a “last-minute grasp at straws, nothing more than a witch hunt”. She also alleged that the request had been made in open court in front of the press to revive what she called a false narrative. “They just intended…

A 16-year-old boy has survived a fall into rough Atlantic waters after a metal grate collapsed beneath him on a fishing pier at Sebastian Inlet State Park in Florida. Landen Williams was walking along the structure on Sunday, 25 October, when the section of walkway gave way during a period of unusually high tides. He plunged into the sea, losing his fishing rod as he fell. Williams said he removed his boots, outer clothing and fishing equipment to make it easier to swim clear of the pier’s supports. Rather than fight the current, he concentrated on staying afloat as the…

Israel’s election is decided through a nationwide proportional system in which voters choose party lists rather than individual candidates. The results determine the make-up of the 120-member Knesset, the country’s unicameral parliament. There are no local constituencies. Instead, each party submits an ordered list of candidates before polling day, with the number of seats it wins determining how many candidates from that list enter the Knesset. The central target for the parties is 61 seats, the number required to form a government. A coalition can govern with fewer seats, but it would be more vulnerable and less durable. How the…

Meta is facing scrutiny in the UK over proposed changes that publishers fear could allow the technology giant to scrape their online journalism for use in its artificial intelligence products without payment. The company, which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, has unilaterally sought to alter its terms for business accounts across its services, including Messenger.

Meta says the issue is largely the result of a misunderstanding. It has postponed the date on which the changes are due…

Richard Simmons’ Hollywood Hills home has sold for $3,827,500, bringing an end to a lengthy and difficult period on the market for the Los Angeles mansion. The gated four-bedroom, five-bathroom property, which sits above the Sunset Strip, was previously listed for about $7 million in June 2025. The sale follows two failed attempts to secure a buyer. The estate first entered escrow at $5.889 million, but that deal collapsed in December. Its asking price was later reduced to $5.799 million before another buyer went under contract in May. The buyer is not a public figure, but is understood to have…

Manchester United had reportedly planned to sack head coach Michael Carrick this week, but a failure to agree on his replacement has given him more time in the job. Carrick’s position is understood to remain under serious pressure, with the club yet to settle on a successor. The delay has allowed him another stay of execution despite concerns over Manchester United’s form. His reprieve follows the defeat by Bournemouth, after which supporters turned their anger towards the players rather than Carrick. Pundits Clinton Morrison and Darren Ambrose suggested that the reaction from the fans had helped keep the head coach…

Donald Trump has made a last-minute intervention in Texas as he seeks to prevent Democrats from ending the Republican party’s decades-long grip on statewide office in next week’s midterm elections. The president travelled to Corpus Christi on Tuesday to campaign for Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton, with a second rally planned in Lubbock later in the day. It is Trump’s third visit to Texas in a month, underlining the importance of the race against Democrat James Talarico. Paxton, Texas’s attorney general, is facing an unexpectedly close contest in a state where Democrats have not won a statewide election since 1994.…
