Due to charges of lying to the clerk's office, the judge presiding over Hunter Biden's criminal case threatened Biden's legal team with fines. In order to purportedly have material about IRS whistleblowers removed from the docket, Hunter Biden's attorney is charged with flouting the rules of court. Judge Maryellen Noreika of Delaware gave Biden's legal counsel till Tuesday night at 9 p.m. to present their case. In particular, a member of Hunter's legal team is accused of lying about her identity when requesting to have amicus documents removed from the docket. Instead of formally asking the court for the information to be sealed, she allegedly called the clerk to do so. "The Court has discussed the matter with the relevant individuals in the Clerk's Office and has been informed that the caller, Ms. Jessica Bengels, represented that she worked with Mr. Kittila and requested the amicus materials be taken down because they contained sensitive grand jury, taxpayer and social security information," the order read. Fox News was able to get a letter from Biden's legal team explaining to the judge that the clerk had appropriately described her affiliation with her law firm during the phone discussion. THE CLAIM MADE BY BIDEN THAT HE HAD NO IDEA OF HUNTER'S BUSINESS DEALINGS IS BECOMING MORE IMPOSSIBLE TO SUPPORT The lawyers' defence stated, "The matter under consideration appears to be the result of an unfortunate and unintentional misunderstanding between a staff member at our firm and employees of the Court." "We don't know how the miscommunication happened, but from what we understand, there was no misrepresentation," The letter continued, "We hope this letter and the declaration attached dispels any implication that the undersigned counsel or our staff would ever intentionally misrepresent or mislead the Court with respect to any matter." On Wednesday, Biden will enter a guilty plea to two counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax, which are misdemeanours. According to reports, The First Son failed to pay more than $100,000 in taxes on profits of over $1.5 million in 2017 and 2018. Copyright 07.26.2023

Officials at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum in Poland have criticized Fox News host Greg Gutfeld for saying on air that Jewish people survived Nazi concentration camps by being “useful.” “While it is true that some Jews may have used their skills or usefulness to increase their chances of survival during the Holocaust, it is essential to contextualize this statement properly and understand that it does not represent the complex history of the genocide perpetrated by Nazi Germany,” the Auschwitz Memorial said in a six-paragraph post early Tuesday on the social media service X, formerly known as Twitter. “While it is accurate to acknowledge that some Jews may have survived temporarily due to their perceived usefulness, it is crucial to remember that the Holocaust was a systematic genocide with the ultimate aim of exterminating the entire Jewish population,” the memorial said in part. “It would be more appropriate to say that some Jews survived the Holocaust because they were considered temporarily useful, and the circumstances of the Nazi regime’s collapse prevented their murder.” “We should avoid such oversimplifications in talking about this complex tragic story,” the memorial added.

A vital system of ocean currents could collapse within a few decades if the world continues to pump out planet-heating pollution, scientists are warning – an event that would be catastrophic for global weather and “affect every person on the planet.” A new study published Tuesday in the journal Nature, found that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Current – of which the Gulf Stream is a part – could collapse around the middle of the century, or even as early as 2025. Scientists uninvolved with this study told CNN the exact tipping point for the critical system is uncertain, and that measurements of the currents have so far showed little trend or change. But they agreed these results are alarming and provide new evidence that the tipping point could occur sooner than previously thought. The AMOC is a complex tangle of currents that works like a giant global conveyor belt. It transports warm water from the tropics toward the North Atlantic, where the water cools, becomes saltier and sinks deep into the ocean, before spreading southwards. FULL STORY

Speaker Kevin McCarthy in recent weeks has heard similar advice from both a senior House Republican and an influential conservative lawyer: prioritize the impeachment of President Joe Biden over a member of his Cabinet. Part of the thinking, according to multiple sources familiar with the internal discussions, is that if House Republicans are going to expend precious resources on the politically tricky task of an impeachment, they might as well go after their highest target as opposed to the attorney general or secretary of homeland security. And McCarthy – who sources said has also been consulting with former House GOP Speaker Newt Gingrich on the issue – has warmed up to an idea that has long been relegated to the fringes of his conference. This week, he delivered his most explicit threat yet to Biden, saying their investigations into the Biden family’s business deals appear to be rising to the level of an impeachment inquiry. Speaking to CNN on Tuesday, McCarthy signaled that Republicans have yet to verify the most salacious allegations against Biden, namely that as vice president he engaged in a bribery scheme with a foreign national in order to benefit his son Hunter Biden’s career, an allegation the White House furiously denies. But he said that launching an impeachment inquiry would unleash the full power of the House to turn over critical information, mirroring an argument advanced by House Democrats when they impeached then-President Donald Trump in 2019. “How do you get to the bottom of the truth? The only way Congress can do that is go to an impeachment inquiry,” McCarthy said Tuesday, stopping short of formally moving to open such a probe. FULL STORY

Students with parents in the top 1 percent income level are overrepresented in elite colleges, according to a new study released Monday by Opportunity Insights. The study looked at eight Ivy League schools, plus Stanford, M.I.T., Duke and the University of Chicago, to find that after accounting for other application factors such as test scores, wealthier students were still overrepresented at the colleges. The study conducted by Harvard economists showed those in the top 1 percent were 34 percent more likely to get into the college than other applicants while those in the top 0.1 percent were 50 percent more likely to make it in even with the same ACT or SAT scores. The top three reasons researchers found this to be the case is schools’ preferences towards students with family that have gone to the school before, recruited athletes and nonacademic ratings for students from private schools. Nonacademic ratings are based on a student’s personality and extracurricular activities. Those in the top 0.1 percent are one and a half times more likely to have higher non-academic ratings than the middle class. Recruiting athletes also tends to benefit the rich as some of the sports at these elite colleges cater to those normally practiced by wealthier individuals. FULL STORY

Extreme weather has been battering Italy from north to south. Wildfires are raging in Sicily after weeks of record-breaking temperatures, with local media warning that the city of Palermo is "encircled" by fires. Meanwhile, northern regions are reeling from violent storms and high winds that uprooted trees and lifted roofs off buildings. In some places, tennis ball-sized hailstones injured people, damaged cars and destroyed crops. A 16-year-old girl was killed when a tree fell on the tent she was sleeping in at a summer camp near the city of Brescia, while a middle-aged woman died after also being hit by a falling tree in Lissone, north of Milan. Overnight, the regions of Lombardy and Veneto experienced torrential rainfall and extremely strong winds, which reached 100km/h (62mph) in Milan. On Tuesday, local authorities told residents to stay away from public parks, as there is a high risk that branches might snap off trees. One of the city's main attractions, the 15th-Century Sforza Castle, was closed to the public on Tuesday "due to damage caused by severe weather". The mayor of the city, Giuseppe Sala, said: "I have never seen anything like this... We can't deny it any longer - climate change is changing our lives. "We can't pretend it's not happening and we absolutely can't keep doing nothing," Mr Sala said in a video shared on Facebook. FULL STORY

A court in Brussels has found six men guilty of terrorist murder, more than seven years after suicide bomb attacks killed 32 people at the city's airport and a metro station in March 2016. After a long trial and 19 days of jury deliberations, the court in Brussels returned their verdicts. Several of those on trial had already been convicted of taking part in the Paris terror attacks months earlier. Salah Abdeslam, 33, was arrested days before the Brussels bombings. He was found guilty in France last year of the November 2015 Paris bomb and gun attacks in which 130 died. Abdeslam had fled Paris for Belgium after the 2015 attacks and denied involvement in the bombings four months later. But the court in Brussels has now convicted him of murder and attempted murder in Brussels too. Another of those now found guilty of both bombings, Mohamed Abrini, was identified on CCTV fleeing Zaventem airport when his explosives did not go off. He became known as the "man in the hat" and was among a number of suspects arrested in Brussels a few weeks later. Unlike Abdeslam, Abrini had admitted his role in the attacks, confessing to preparing the explosives for the bombings. FULL STORY

The fate of Travis King, a US soldier who crossed into North Korea, remains unknown and experts say the US is at a critical stage to try and negotiate his return home. The challenge is America has never had an official diplomatic relationship with North Korea. As a result, the US relies on a network of backchannels to negotiate the return of citizens detained in the country. It is believed the 23-year-old soldier is being detained and questioned by North Korean authorities. Private 2nd Class King was last seen a week ago running across the demilitarised zone separating North and South Korea. Tensions have since escalated in the region, with North Korea firing two ballistic missiles into the sea late Monday after a US nuclear-powered submarine was stationed in the South. "All sides are trying to understand what happened and what to do," said Mickey Bergman, executive director of the Richardson Center for Global Diplomacy. Mr Bergman, who has spent nearly 20 years negotiating to return US citizens from hostile nations, said the best chance at releasing a prisoner is right after they are detained. This is when they are likely being interrogated by the country's officials but before they have been charged with a crime, like spying. FULL STORY

Spotify is raising prices for its 200 million ad-free subscribers for the first time in over a decade, the platform has announced. In the UK prices will rise by £1 a month, to £10.99 for an individual plan, £14.99 for a premium duo plan and £17.99 for a family plan. The price of a student plan remains unchanged at £5.99. The move follows other streaming services which have also increased subscription costs. Similar price hikes also apply to the US, Canada and 49 other territories. In the US, the cost will go up from $9.99 to $10.99 (£8.57) for those with an individual plan. The premium duo plan will increase from $12.99 to $14.99, the family plan from $15.99 to $16.99, and the student plan from $4.99 to $5.99. "So that we can keep innovating, we are changing our Premium prices across a number of markets around the world," the music streaming service said on Monday. "These updates will help us continue to deliver value to fans and artists on our platform." Spotify said users "will be given a one-month grace period before the new price becomes effective, unless they cancel before the grace period ends". The company raised prices of US family plans and UK student, duo, and family plans in 2021. Individual subscriptions were previously unaffected. Apple Music, Peacock, Netflix, Max, and Paramount+ have also recently raised subscription prices. The new Spotify Premium cost matches the monthly plans of competitors Apple Music and Amazon Music. In an April earnings call, Swedish CEO Daniel Ek said the company would "like to raise prices in 2023". "When the timing is right, we will raise it and that price increase will go down well because we're delivering a lot of value for our customers," Mr Ek said.

Chinese-owned video streaming app TikTok says it will offer text-only posts as competition between social media giants heats up. The platform says the new feature gives users "another way to express themselves". Earlier this month, TikTok launched a new music streaming service to rival platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. And on Monday, Elon Musk's Twitter ditched its famous blue bird logo and switched to a black and white X. TikTok users will now be offered three options on the app - whether to post photos, videos or text. They will also be able to customise posts by adding sound, location or Duets, which are video reactions to posts by other TikTok users. "These features make it so your text posts are just as dynamic and interactive as any video or photo post," TikTok said. Is Musk right to ditch the Twitter logo? Twitter rebranded as X as blue bird logo killed off TikTok, which is owned by China's ByteDance, recently launched a new music streaming service, TikTok Music, in Brazil and Indonesia. FULL STORY

Do you believe the government is hiding something? What about if we asked if you think the government is hiding something about UFOs? "I believe there is something else out there," said Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., at a recent press conference. "Dadgumit, whatever the truth may be, we're done with the cover-up." Burchett leads the House’s second big hearing on UFOs in 15 months Wednesday. GOVERNMENT ‘100%’ COVERING UP UFO INFORMATION: REP. TIM BURCHETT Burchett certainly falls into the category of believing the government is hiding something. He says his constituents do, too. "I’m stopped every weekend back in Knoxville," said Burchett. "People will stop me and tell me about their experiences (with UFOs). Decorated veterans. Why would they risk their reputations and careers over something that they’re lying about?" Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., is an Air Force veteran who aligns with Burchett when it comes to UFOs. "If we continue to get stonewalled, if we smell that they’re giving us a bunch of BS, we are going to do the field hearings directly at those locations," said Luna of the military. "Full transparency really is what we need in this situation." Toss Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., into the camp of those who are skeptical about what the government is saying about UFOs – or UAPs as they’re sometimes called. That’s short for unidentified aerial phenomena.

Special counsel Jack Smith’s office has asked former US officials about a February 2020 Oval Office meeting where then-President Donald Trump praised improvements to the security of US elections, according to multiple people familiar with the matter. In the meeting with senior US officials and White House staff, Trump touted his administration’s work to expand the use of paper ballots and support security audits of vote tallies. Trump was so encouraged by federal efforts to protect election systems that he suggested the FBI and Department of Homeland Security hold a press conference to take credit for the work, four people familiar with the meeting told CNN. Those details offer a stark contrast to the voter-fraud conspiracy theories Trump began spreading publicly just weeks later and continued to use to question the 2020 election results. Smith’s office has in recent months interviewed multiple former US officials with knowledge of the February 2020 Oval Office briefing, sources said, though not everyone who attended the meeting and has talked to the special counsel was asked about it. In their questions to at least one of those former officials, investigators were interested in how Trump reacted to information from his advisers that US election systems were secure, and whether Trump was well informed on the topic, one of the sources said.

Former President Trump on Monday criticized Senate Republican leaders for not being as critical of President Biden as House Republicans have been. GOP House members have made a concerted effort to paint Biden and the Department of Justice as corrupt, using the DOJ prosecution of Hunter Biden for ammunition. They argue Hunter Biden received too lenient a sentence, among other things. There have been staunch critics of both Bidens in the Senate GOP, as well, but the Senate GOP’s leadership tends to be much more muted than the House on the issue. “Joe Biden is the most corrupt President in the history of the United States, which is being undeniably proven in the House of Representatives every single day,” Trump posted on Truth Social Monday. “But with all of these horrible revelations and facts, why hasn’t Republican ‘leadership’ in the Senate spoken up and rebuked Crooked Joe Biden and the Radical Left Democrats, Fascists, and Marxists for their criminal acts against our Country, some of them against me. How long does America have to wait for the Senate to ACT?” Trump added. FULL STORY

Israeli MPs have passed into law a highly controversial bill despite mass protests which aimed to thwart it. The law removes the power of the Supreme Court to overrule government actions it considers unreasonable. It is the first to be approved in a series of bitterly contested reforms aimed at curbing the power of courts. The planned reforms have triggered some of the biggest protests in Israel's history, with opponents warning they imperil Israel as a democracy. The government argues that the measures are necessary to correct an imbalance in power which has seen the courts increasingly intervene in political decisions in recent decades. The so-called "reasonableness" bill was approved by 64 votes to 0, after the opposition boycotted the final vote. In remarks to the Knesset (parliament), opposition leader Yair Lapid called the step "a takeover by an extreme minority over the Israeli majority". But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted the court would remain independent. He said the bill was necessary for the government to "carry out policy in line with the decision of the majority of the citizens of the country". FULL STORY

A heatwave baking the US Southwest for weeks is set to expand into central and eastern regions. Beginning in the Midwest, the hot weather will extend east as far as the southern tip of Florida by Wednesday, say meteorologists. Temperature records were surpassed in several major cities over the weekend, and some 59 million Americans began Monday under extreme heat advisories. July is now expected to be the Earth's hottest month since records began. On Sunday, the city of Phoenix, Arizona, extended its streak of temperatures above 43C (110F) into a 24th day, well past the previous record of 18 days set in 1974. It is on course to be the first major US city to average over 100F (38C) for an entire month, according to NOAA statistics and a Washington Post analysis. At least 18 heat-related deaths have occurred in surrounding Maricopa County since April, with 69 more deaths under investigation. Is climate change causing heatwaves and wildfires?

When Jean-Pierre Dube saw the news that billionaire Elon Musk was scrapping Twitter's blue bird logo in favour of an Art Deco-style black and white X, the marketing professor thought it was a joke. "Why take a recognised brand, with a lot of brand capital around it and then completely throw it away and start from scratch?" said Prof Dube, who teaches at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. "In the short-term, it seems weird." But in the long term, could it work? Mr Musk's takeover of Twitter last year has been punishing for the social media platform. Advertising revenue has dropped by half, Mr Musk said this month, as big brands pulled back, wary of changes he has made, including how the firm handles verified accounts and moderates content. Abrupt layoffs and unpaid bills have also led to bad press and lawsuits. Estimates by Fidelity, which has a stake in the company, suggest it is now worth just a third of the $44bn ($34.3bn) that Mr Musk paid for Twitter in October. FULL STORY

The number of modern slavery cases reported within the UK care industry has more than doubled in the past year. There were 109 potential victims, exploited for personal or financial gain, between January and March - twice as many as the same period in 2022. BBC File on 4 obtained the figures from the government-approved anti-slavery helpline, run by charity Unseen. Investigators trying to protect workers from being exploited say the care industry is now a "top priority". The Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) - whose role is to protect workers from labour exploitation across the UK - told us it had more than 300 ongoing care sector investigations. Unseen says the rise in calls about the care sector in the past 12 months is because the government has made it easier for overseas social care staff to work in the UK post-Brexit - and fill thousands of job vacancies. As the supply chain gets bigger, there's more chance for exploitation - says the charity. In the year to March, the government had issued 102,000 skilled worker, health and care visas to foreign workers - that's up 171% on the previous year. In a statement, it told File on 4 that more than £17.8m had been spent policing modern slavery since 2016. It's very rare to hear from a victim of modern slavery in person, but one woman who came to the UK on a work visa - and was forced to work gruelling hours as a carer - has told us her story.

Russian drones have attacked Ukrainian ports on the River Danube, destroying grain storage infrastructure, local officials say. The facilities are just across the river from Nato-member Romania. The Danube is a key export route for Kyiv since Russia pulled out of a deal allowing Ukraine to ship wheat, corn and other products via the Black Sea. A grain depot was also destroyed in the Black Sea port city of Odesa, which has come under almost nightly attack. Officials say more than 60,000 tonnes of grain have been destroyed in the past week. Global markets have seen the price of grain rise by 8% within a day of Russia's pullout from the grain deal, on 17 July. The collapse of the deal also means that Russia has resumed targeting of port locations in Ukraine which had been suspended during the deal. Odesa head Oleh Kiper, whose region also covers the Danube ports of Reni and Izmail, said in his Telegram channel that Russia had attacked the infrastructure there for four hours with Iranian-made drones. He said a grain hangar and tanks for storage were destroyed. Other local officials say three warehouses were bombed. FULL STORY

Top Gun: Top Gun: Maverick and the new Mission: Impossible share the same message: that Tom Cruise, and Tom Cruise alone, is the last line of defence against the AI invasion. At a time like this, when a sudden panic over the profitability of digitised entertainment has seen streaming services slash and burn their own content while Hollywood’s writers remain on strike, Cruise has cunningly positioned himself as the idealistic (and no doubt patriotic) alternative. He is all that is human in the face of a cold and robotic future. Pure muscle and sweat. In Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Cruise’s Ethan Hunt is the only man on Earth capable of defeating a seemingly sentient, AI-powered virus that possesses the ability to infiltrate any top-secret infrastructure it sets its sights on, like, say, the CIA or the World Bank. Finally, the super spy’s greatest asset – the limitless pool of technology that has, over the course of six earlier films, allowed him to wear other people’s faces as masks and scale the Burj Khalifa – has turned against him. Dead Reckoning can, admittedly, feel a little too immaculate and calculated when held up against the more lofty, idea-driven blockbusters of our age (say, a Dune or an Across the Spider-Verse). But any simplicity here is outweighed by the sheer force of Cruise’s brand. FULL REVIEW

Feature is not available in the UK and EU, where regulators have shown concern about company’s data gathering practices OpenAI has launched new “custom instructions” for ChatGPT, aimed at letting the system know who you are and what you want. The tool allows users to “share anything you’d like ChatGPT to consider in its response”, the company said. That might mean always starting conversations with the chatbot being aware that you are a teacher of young children, for instance, so that it can word its responses accordingly. Or a user might set an instruction that they are a computer programmer in a specific language, so that it can know how to format its responses. They can also be more specific instructions to the chatbot itself. Users might opt to tell it what tone to use in its responses, for instance, or to keep to a word limit. The new tool comes with a range of warnings about the way that the data itself is used. Those instructions might be shared with the developers of any plug-ins, for instance, and it will also be used gathered by OpenAI. FULL ARTICLE

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 15 Pro could be delayed or in short supply, rumours are increasingly suggesting. The phone might not arrive until October – and even then could be hit by stock shortages, according to a run of leaks. The potential shortage is at least in part the result of issues with making the new screens used in the premium, Pro and larger Pro Max models, according to a new report from The Information. Apple has been working to shrink the bezel around the display, and the new manufacturing process has made it harder to make the new device, it reported. Even if the phone does arrive on time, it is likely to be hit by stock shortages, the same report suggested. The manufacturing issues come at the point when the display is attached to the metal shell of the phone, but the process is failing in some cases. Apple is tweaking the design so that it can be more efficiently made, and can also rely on other manufacturers to build the phone. FULL STORY
