A fugitive gains fame in New Orleans eluding dart guns and netsRussia is not seeking to reintroduce capital punishment and will continue to liberalize its penal code in order to reduce the number of convicts, President Vladimir Putin has said. Putin made the remarks on Tuesday while speaking during a meeting of the Presidential Council for Civil Society and Human Rights, a consultative body tasked with assisting the country’s leader in protecting human rights and freedoms. Moscow’s stance on the death penalty remains unchanged even in the wake of the Ukraine conflict, Putin reiterated. “We live in the reality of a special military operation and do not introduce the death penalty at all, despite the fact that, I assure you, and you probably know this, a considerable number of our citizens and political figures constantly raise this issue,” Putin stated. Despite the ongoing “quite serious military action,” the Russian government continues to “make decisions to increase the humaneness of our justice system,” he added. In particular, Russia continues its effort to reduce the number of people incarcerated, Putin said. Russia introduced a moratorium on the death penalty back in 1997 when it joined the Council of Europe. The last execution in the country was carried out the previous year. However, capital punishment was never fully abolished, and various Russian politicians and public figures have suggested lifting the moratorium. Talk of bringing back the death penalty was reinvigorated last year in the wake of Russia’s withdrawal from the Council of Europe. Moscow said the organization had been hijacked by the collective West to promote its interests rather than to serve its original goals.The standard Lorem Ipsum passage, used since the 1500s "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

North Carolina has interviewed former New England Patriots coach and six-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick for its head coaching position, two people with knowledge of the situation said Thursday. Both people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the school isn't commenting publicly on its search. Belichick's interview, first reported by Inside Carolina, comes a week after the school fired its winningest coach in College Football Hall of Famer Mack Brown. The school announced Nov. 26 that Brown wouldn't return for a seventh season in his second stint at the school, with Brown staying on to coach last weekend's rivalry loss to N.C. State. Former Cleveland Browns coach Freddie Kitchens is working as the interim coach for an upcoming bowl game as UNC conducts it search. Moving on from the 73-year-old Brown to hire the 72-year-old Belichick would mean UNC is turning to a coach who has never worked at the college level, yet had incredible NFL success alongside quarterback Tom Brady throughout most of his 24-year tenure with the Patriots that ended last season . In the time since, he had been linked to NFL jobs , notably the Atlanta Falcons in January. UNC’s opening comes at a time of rapid changes in college athletics with free player movement through the transfer portal and players able to cash in on their athletic fame with endorsement opportunities. There’s also the impending arrival of revenue sharing, part of a $2.8 billion antitrust settlement proposal that gained preliminary approval by a judge in October. “I think it's a great time for me to get out,” Brown said after Saturday's loss to the Wolfpack. “This isn't the game that I signed up for. It's changed so much.” In an UNC-produced podcast earlier this week, athletic director Bubba Cunningham said all the coaches the school is talking with about its job “are playing,” with college football having reached its conference title games before unveiling the 12-team College Football Playoff and bowl assignments. Cunningham said then that “fit” was the most important thing in finding Brown’s successor. “There's a certain person that’s best suited at the right time, at the right place,” he said. “And right now, that’s we’re looking for: Where are we today, who can lead us in the next three, five, 10 years?”How to protect your communications through encryption
SM approaches 2025 with cautious optimismNikolayDavydenko took aim against equal prize money at Grand Slams, taking SerenaWilliams as an example. Former world No. 3 questioned the fairness of equalprize money in Grand Slam tournaments, pointing out that women playbest-of-three-set matches, while men compete in best-of-five. Accordingto the Russian ex-tennis star, it makes sense to have equal prize money inlower-tier tournaments, such as Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 events, sinceeveryone plays best-of-three there. "At 250, 500, 1000 series tournaments— maybe," Denis Bushkovsky said. "But when they shout about GrandSlams... You don’t play five-set matches." The 2009ATP Finals champion highlighted the dominance of players like Serena Williams and her sister Venus, who managed to win Grand Slam titles with much less timeon court, often steamrolling their opponents. "Serena Williams won GrandSlams, losing only 10 games per tournament," he continued. "Shewon 6-0, 6-1, 6-2 without even breaking a sweat or feeling stressed. Meanwhile,men lose 10 games in the first match alone and need to fight. Sometimes youplay a five-setter in the first round and then have to keep going." Davydenkoinsisted that male players put in significantly more effort during Grand Slamtournaments, arguing that they deserve higher rewards compared to women in suchevents. "Men’s tennis players do three times more work than women,especially at Grand Slams. So paying out equal prize money is unfair," theRussian said.

What's New Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara ordered an investigation on Thursday into Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 's wife, Sara Netanyahu, over allegedly harassing political opponents and a witness in her husband's corruption trial. Newsweek reached out to the prime minister's office via online form for comment Thursday afternoon. Why It Matters The Netanyahu family has already been swimming in legal troubles. The controversial Israeli leader is currently the subject of a long-running corruption trial after he was indicted in 2019 on charges of fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes. Benjamin Netanyahu has denied all charges, claiming to be the victim of a "witch hunt." Sara Netanyahu, meanwhile, has previously been accused of abusive behavior toward her personal staff and of excessive spending and using public money for her own luxurious lifestyle. What To Know The Israeli Justice Ministry announced Thursday that an investigation into Sara Netanyahu would focus on the findings from a recent investigative report by Israel's Channel 12 Uvda program. The announcement did not mention Sara Netanyahu by name. The Justice Ministry declined to comment further, according to The Associated Press. What Did The Report About Sara Netanyahu Say? The report includes WhatsApp messages that appear to show Sara Netanyahu instructing a former aide to organize protests against political opponents and to intimidate Hadas Klein, a key witness in her husband's corruption trial. Klein is an aide to Israeli billionaire film producer Arnon Milchan who testified in Netanyahu's corruption case about her role in delivering tens of thousands of dollars worth of champagne, cigars and gifts to the prime minister for Milchan. Sara Netanyahu appeared to encourage police to crack down on anti-government protesters using violence and ordered Hanni Bleiweiss, a former aide to her husband, to organize protests against the prime minister's critics. She also told Bleiweiss to persuade activists in her husband's right-wing Likud party to publish attacks on Klein. Bleiweiss, who died of cancer in 2023, was allegedly mistreated by Sara Netanyahu, prompting her to share the message with a reporter shortly before her death, according to the Uvda report. Benjamin Netanyahu Denies Report The prime minister called the Uvda report "lies" in a video released earlier Thursday. "My opponents on the left and in the media found a new-old target. They mercilessly attack my wife, Sara," Netanyahu said. He called the program "false propaganda, nasty propaganda that brings up lies from the darkness," while painting Sara Netanyahu in a good light by detailing what he said were the many kind and charitable acts by his wife. What People Have Said National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir , who has repeatedly called for Baharav Miara to be fired over multiple grievances against her, said the Justice Ministry's Thursday announcement was another reason for her to be dismissed. "Someone who politically persecutes government ministers and their families cannot continue to serve as the attorney general," he said. Justice Minister Yariv Levin , another ally of the prime minister and critic of Baharav Miara, accused the attorney general of focusing on "television gossip" in a statement that also said, "Selective enforcement is a crime!" What Happens Next The Netanyahus will now have to balance Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial and the potential new probe into Sara Netanyahu amid mounting criticism of the prime minister's handling of the Israeli-Hamas war. The International Criminal Court (ICC) is seeking an arrest warrant for Netanyahu on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity for the war in Gaza. Netanyahu has called the charges "absurd and false." This article includes reporting from The Associated Press.
