Britain's High Court ruled Friday that the government's decision last year to outlaw the protest group Palestine Action as a designated terrorist organization was unlawful, but it kept the ban in place pending an appeal.

Judges Victoria Sharp, Jonathan Swift and Karen Steyn said "the nature and scale of Palestine Action's activities" did not meet the "level, scale and persistence" that would justify proscription.

The judges said they were "satisfied that the decision to proscribe Palestine Action was disproportionate."

Almost all of President Trump's tariffs last year were passed on to U.S. consumers and businesses in the form of higher costs, according to a new analysis from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

As the average U.S. tariff on imports jumped to 13% in 2025, up from less than 3%, "nearly 90% of the tariffs' economic burden fell on U.S. firms and consumers," the researchers wrote.

Who bears the burden of tariffs?
The Trump administration maintains that foreign companies and other exporters pay the lion's share of tariffs.

In a Jan. 30 Wall Street Journal op-ed defending his tariff agenda, for example, Mr. Trump said that "data shows that the burden, or 'incidence,' of the tariffs has fallen overwhelmingly on foreign producers and middlemen, including large corporations that are not from the...More

Going behind 2-0 before even taking a shot, Barcelona suffered a 4-0 loss in the first leg of the Copa Del Rey semifinal to Atletico Madrid. It's Barcelona's joint-worst loss to Atleti ever, also losing 4-0 in the Copa Del Rey in 1989 and in LaLiga in 1942. This is also the first time Barcelona trailed by four goals at halftime since August 2020, an 8-2 loss to a Bayern Munich side in the Champions League, then led by none other than current Barcelona manager Hansi Flick.

Despite this loss coming with another leg to play at the Camp Nou on March 3, it does show that there are areas of improvement within the team. Without Raphinha, Barcelona's attack were unable to keep up with a new look Atleti as improvement in the second half of play wasn't enough to claw back...More

James Van Der Beek's "Dawson's Creek" co-stars are sharing memories and tributes to him after his death this week at 48 years old.

Katie Holmes, who played co-lead and love interest Joey Potter, said that Van Der Beek's death is a "lot to process," and she shared a handwritten note where she remembered him as a "hero."

"I mourn this loss with a heart holding the reality of his absence and deep gratitude for his imprint on it," Holmes wrote, in part.

In a paragraph addressed to Van Der Beek's wife Kimberly, Holmes said she would always "be there to shower you with Love and Compassion."

"I am so grateful to have shared in a piece of James' journey," Holmes wrote in the caption of her post. "He is beloved."...More

Gisèle Pelicot, the French woman who became a global symbol of courage when she publicly stepped forward to testify against her ex-husband and dozens of other men in a mass rape trial, told "CBS Sunday Morning" that she believes her story "could be useful to others."

That's why she's opening up about her story in a memoir, "A Hymn to Life: Shame Has to Change Sides." She said she's speaking directly to those who might ask, "How could this woman go through what she went through and still be standing?"

In her first U.S. broadcast interview, airing on "CBS Sunday Morning" February 15, Pelicot told correspondent Seth Doane that she "used to be a very discreet woman."

Pelicot waived her right to anonymity and insisted court proceedings be made public during the 4-month trial against her ex-husband,...More

Lindsey Vonn says she underwent a third round of surgery Wednesday and is making "slow" progress as she recovers from a crash that broke her leg during her downhill Olympic race on Sunday.

The surgery was successful, she said in a post on Instagram. She also shared photos of herself in her hospital bed with a metal frame attached to her leg.

"Success today has a completely different meaning than it did a few days ago," she posted. "I'm making progress and while it is slow, I know I'll be ok."

Vonn, who calls Colorado home, said she is thankful for the incredible medical...More

Nevada is the only state where people can legally purchase sex, and now sex workers at one of the state's oldest brothels are fighting to become the nation's first to be unionized.

"We want the same things that any other worker wants. We want a safe and respectful workplace," said a worker at Sheri's Ranch in Pahrump, Nevada, who goes by the stage name Jupiter Jetson and asked that her legal name not be used for fear of harassment.

Prostitution is legal at licensed brothels in 10 of Nevada's rural counties. That doesn't include Clark County, home to Las Vegas, though Sheri's Ranch is about an hour's drive away.

The majority of the brothel's 74 sex workers submitted a petition to unionize with the National...More

The families of jailed Iranian protesters say the country's rulers have proposed a cruel bargain: publicly celebrate the Islamic Revolution that brought them to power, or risk the lives of their loved ones.

Human rights organizations say more than 12,000 Iranians were arrested amid the wave of anti-regime protests that swept the country in early January.
