Former President Yoon Suk Yeol was sentenced to life in prison for his brief imposition of martial law in a dramatic culmination to the country's biggest political crisis in decades.

Yoon fell from office after an ill-advised attempt to overcome an opposition-controlled legislature by declaring martial law and sending troops to surround the legislature on Dec. 3, 2024.

Judge Jee Kui-youn said he found Yoon guilty of rebellion for mobilizing military and police forces in an illegal attempt to seize the liberal-led National Assembly, arrest politicians and establish unchecked power for a "considerable" time.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has reversed an earlier decision and said it will review drugmaker Moderna's application for approval of a seasonal flu vaccine, the company said in a statement Wednesday.

The FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research notified Moderna that the agency will allow the application for the vaccine candidate, mRNA-100, to proceed to review, the drugmaker said.

This marks a reversal for the FDA, which last week sent Moderna a so-called "refusal to file" letter rejecting the application. The dispute centered on a 40,000-person clinical trial that found Moderna's new vaccine was more effective in adults aged 50 and older than one of the standard flu shots used today.

The FDA, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), on Wednesday told CBS News that subsequent discussions with Moderna "led to a revised regulatory...More

The Gunners were expected to take all three points from the Molineux -- instead, they have dropped points that could come back to haunt them

Arsenal have lost their heads. There is no other rational explanation for how the Premier League leaders, for now at least, could blow a two-goal lead against a side who will cherish this 2-2 draw because it makes it that much less likely they will go down in history as statistically the worst team in this competition's history.

Three years of second-placed finishes has led to a familiar refrain around Arsenal, that they are bottlers, a team chronically incapable of winning the biggest prizes. It had been, without wishing to put too fine a point on it, nonsense. The team of 2022-23 got way out ahead of their skis early on but never looked like one that could stay the course when the...More

The former Prince Andrew, now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was arrested Thursday for suspected misconduct in public office after revelations in the Jeffrey Epstein files. King Charles III's younger brother was arrested on his 66th birthday, about two weeks after an anti-royal organization called for police to investigate documents indicating that Andrew shared confidential government information with the late American sex offender when the royal worked as a British trade envoy.

The Thames Valley Police force confirmed just over a week ago that it was assessing claims against Mountbatten-Windsor that emerged in the latest release of Epstein files by the U.S. Justice Department to determine whether a formal investigation was warranted....More

King Charles III said Thursday that "the law must take its course" following the arrest of his brother, former Prince Andrew.

Charles said in a statement he had "learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office."

"What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities," he said. "In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation."

"Let me state clearly: the law must take its course," the king said, adding that he would not be commenting further amid the investigation into his brother, and that the rest of the royal family would "continue in our duty and service to you all."

Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested Thursday for suspected misconduct...More

A Brazilian woman faces up to 10 years in prison for stating her opinion on gender identity online, highlighting the complexities of free speech and discrimination laws.



In November 2020, Isadora Borges made two Twitter social posts stating that males who self-identify as female are “obviously born male.” In most countries, Borges would be doing nothing wrong. She’s simply stating her opinion and posting about it. In Brazil, however, she’s facing up to 10 years in prison if convicted on both counts of “transphobia” under Brazilian Law.

While it’s been determined that Borges’ social media statements reflected her personal opinion rather than discriminatory intent, her fate is still in the hands of the court ruling. In the meantime, the legal advocacy group, ADF International, did advocate for her to submit written conclusions regarding her intent. Currently, the court has allowed her this time to present any written conclusions regarding her comments before...More

Marco Rubio has made a name, and a meme, for himself as the indispensable figure in the American government. Last week, the Secretary of State added to his reputation at the Munich Security Conference, offering a statesman-like defense of the West, emphasizing the historic and religious foundations shared by America and Europe. He also critiqued a false and misleading view of civilizational history.

The fall of the Soviet Union, Rubio said, led to the dangerous delusion,

that we had entered, ‘the end of history;’ that every nation would now be a liberal democracy; that the ties formed by trade and by commerce alone would now replace nationhood; that the rules-based global order—an overused term—would now replace the national interest; and that we would now live in a world without borders where everyone became a citizen of the world.

Here, Rubio referenced, without naming, political scientist Francis Fukuyama’s “End of History” thesis. Fukuyama adopted G.W.F. Hegel’s philosophy of...More
