Disney claims its free speech rights were violated by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and is fighting him in federal court ORLANDO, Fla. -- If Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wins a federal lawsuit in which Disney claims its free speech rights were violated by the Republican leader, the company won't be the last entity to be punished over supporting a “disfavored viewpoint,” Disney said in court papers on Monday. The First Amendment protects the right of free speech even if it goes against government powers, Disney said in court documents asking a judge to reject DeSantis’ motion to dismiss the Entertainment giant’s First Amendment lawsuit in Tallahassee. The Disney lawsuit says DeSantis unconstitutionally revamped and took over Walt Disney World's governing district in retaliation after Disney publicly opposed a state law banning classroom lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity in early grades. The law was championed by DeSantis, who currently is running for the 2024 GOP ...

Sundar Pichai, chief executive of Alphabet and its subsidiary Google, will testify on Monday in the once-in-a-generation antitrust fight over Google's dominance of search and some parts of search advertising. The Take Pichai, who is being called as a witness for Google, will likely be asked about the company's investments aimed at keeping its search com Pet itive, especially as smartphones took over, and innovation in search advertising. The government, in cross-examination, may ask why the company pays billions of dollars annually to ensure that Google search is the default in smartphones. Context * The government has argued that Google, which has some 90% of the search market, illegally paid an estimated $10 billion annually to smartphone makers like Apple and wireless carriers like AT&T and others to be the default in search on their devices in order to stay on top. The clout in search makes Google a heavy hitter in the lucrative advertising mar...

U.S. aircraft carried out strikes in Syria against facilities associated with Iranian-backed groups believed to be responsible for attacks on troops, the military said. U.S. military aircraft have carried out strikes in eastern Syria against facilities associated with Iranian-backed militant groups believed to be responsible for more than a dozen rocket and drone attacks on American troops in Iraq and Syria that injured 21 service members, the military said Thursday night. "Today, at President Biden's direction, U.S. Military forces conducted self-defense strikes on two facilities in eastern Syria used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated group s," said Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in a statement. "These precision self-defense strikes are a response to a series of ongoing and mostly unsuccessful attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militia groups that began on October 17," he said.

Newcastle United fell to a disappointing 1-0 defeat at home to German side Borussia Dortmund, with the Magpies unable to find a response to Felix Nmecha's first-half strike. A riveting start to the game saw a flurry of early chances at St James' Park, but it was Nmecha's delightful cushioned effort just before half time that gave Dortmund the lead. Despite plenty of endeavour in the second half, Newcastle couldn't find an equaliser, stumbling to a first European defeat of the season. The result leaves Eddie Howe's side in third after Paris Saint-Germain beat AC Milan in Group F's other match of the evening. How the game unfolded The feverish atmosphere inside St James' Park was matched by lively starts from both sides, Donyell Malen testing Nick Pope at one end and Anthony Gordon unleashing an effort that Gregor Kobel rebuffed shortly afterwards. The Newcastle goalkeeper was in action again with ten minutes on the clock, producing an outstanding double save...

When it came to crunch time in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat, Boston seemed to misplace their offensive mojo. It’s like they were playing hide-and-seek with their scoring abilities, but unfortunately, they never quite found them. What that means for the Celtics is that during the offseason, they were on a mission to patch up any gaps in their lineup, like a skilled tailor mending the seams of a suit worn by the dynamic duo of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. Boston made some savvy moves, acquiring the defensive prowess of Kristaps Porzingis and the playmaking skills of Jrue Holiday . It’s like they’re building a basketball fortress, complete with guards and architects! New York decided to take a vacation during free agency, because they didn’t make any major additions. They did snag guard Donte DiVincenzo in free agenc y. The Knicks are crossing their fingers, toes, and even their shoelaces, hoping that RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and Jericho Sims can transform...

Panama and Costa Rica have set up a bus system to speed the flow of migrants from the Darien Gap to Costa Rica’s border with Nicaragua PASO CANOAS, Costa Rica -- The fleet of buses roared past the Panama-Costa Rica border. Hundreds of Venezuelan, Haitian and Ecuadorian migrants pressed their faces to the windows as they looked out onto a sign that read “Welcome to Costa Rica.” But few of them will see more of the country than the winding roads through foggy glass. That's because last week Costa Rica and Panama announced that, amid a historic crush of people headed to the United States, thousands of migrants a day would be bussed from the jungle-clad Darien Gap through their territories to the Nicaraguan border. The move is the latest patchwork solution by governments in Central America that often have appeared more concerned with lessening the impact on their own nations than complying with pressure from the Biden administration to keep migration levels in check. Regional leaders...

Spirit Airlines is canceling about 100 flights because it's pulling some planes out of service for inspections Spirit Airlines canceled about 100 flights on Friday after pulling some planes out of service for inspections, and the airline expects the disruptions to last several days. Spirit did not describe the nature of the inspections and did not respond when asked for further information. By Friday afternoon, Spirit had canceled 11% of its schedule for the day, easily the highest percentage of scrubbed flights among leading U.S. carriers, according to tracking service FlightAware. “We’ve cancelled a portion of our scheduled flights to perform a necessary inspection of a small section of 25 of our aircraft,” Spirit said in a statement. “The impact to our network is expected to last several days as we complete the inspections and work to return to normal operations.” The Federal Aviation Administration said it was aware of Spirit's decision to pull the planes from service ...

A bottle of what is being called “the most-sought after Scotch whisky” is set to be auctioned next month at Sotheby's in London LONDON -- A bottle of “the most -sought -after Scotch whisky ” is set to go up for auction next month , with an estimated price of up to 1.2 million pounds ($1.4 million), the auction house Sotheby's said Thursday. It said the 96-year-old bottle of single malt from distiller Macallan — The Macallan Adami 1926 — will come under the hammer in London on Nov. 18, with a price estimate above 750,000 pounds. Advance bidding will begin Nov. 1. A version of The Macallan 1926 was sold by Sotheby's in 2019 for 1.5 million pounds, a record for any bottle of wine or spirit. The appearance of three different bottle variations of the whisky at auctions in 2018 and 2019 led to the record being broken three times. “The Macallan 1926 is the one whisky that every auctioneer wants to sell and every collector wants to own,” said Jonny Fowle, Sotheby’s global head ...

Donald Trump will be back in court Tuesday for his New York civil fraud trial, but a face-to-face showdown with former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen will have to wait NEW YORK -- Donald Trump will be back in court Tuesday for his New York civil fraud trial, but a face-to-face showdown with former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen will have to wait. Cohen, a key witness in the state’s case against the former president, postponed his testimony, saying he needed to attend to a health problem. “I’m not bowing out. I’m not nervous to testify. I’m not being paid off. I have a medical issue that I need to attend to. It’s as simple as that,” Cohen said last week on X, formerly known as Twitter. Judge Arthur Engoron said Monday that the earliest Cohen can now testify is Oct. 23. Cohen’s absence is scrambling the trial schedule in its third week, forcing the New York attorney general's office to call other witnesses earlier than planned. It's also robbing the proceedings — which have been...
