YouTube has reached a $22 million settlement with former United States President Donald Trump in connection with a lawsuit he filed against the video-sharing platform following the suspension of his account in the aftermath of the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The settlement was disclosed in a court filing on Monday, marking a significant resolution in the long-running legal dispute between the former president and the tech giant. According to the filing, Trump’s legal team had accused YouTube of infringing on his right to free speech and argued that the suspension of his account hindered his ability to communicate with millions of his supporters. The platform initially suspended Trump’s account in January 2021, citing concerns that his posts and videos could incite further violence after the Capitol riot, which disrupted the certification of the 2020 presidential election results. The lawsuit, which had been pending for nearly three years, sought damages and the reins...

  A coalition of 50 professional athletes has formally called on the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) to suspend Israel from all its competitions, citing concerns over the ongoing conflict in Gaza and what they describe as violations of human rights. In a joint letter submitted to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, the athletes urged the European football governing body to take decisive action against Israel. According to the letter, the athletes believe that UEFA must hold Israel accountable for what they termed as “grave breaches of international law” in the Gaza conflict. The signatories, who represent various sports including football, athletics, and basketball, argue that the ongoing military actions have made it impossible to separate sports from politics. “It is no longer tenable to allow Israel to participate in UEFA tournaments while the suffering of civilians, including children, continues unabated,” the letter stated, as reported by Agence France-Pre...

Two years ago, a mother bear in the rugged wilderness faced what many would describe as a parent’s worst nightmare. She lost all four of her cubs in a single season. According to wildlife rangers familiar with her story, the cubs were taken one after another by predators,  wolves and wild boars,  leaving the bear with nothing but hard lessons in survival. This year, that same bear is approaching motherhood with a markedly different strategy. Observers in the region reported that she now avoids the tall grass where predators often lie in ambush. Instead, she prefers to roam open meadows and riverbanks where her keen eyesight can detect potential threats more easily. Every step she takes, every decision she makes, appears to be aimed at protecting her new cubs. Experts say that while bears are often perceived as dominant and nearly invincible, their cubs face grim odds in the wild. Wolf packs, according to field biologists, can coordinate attacks that overwhelm even a vigilant...
