Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield files nearly $12 million lawsuit against his father’s company 

In a federal complaint, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield accused his father, James Mayfield,'s financial firm of not repaying roughly $12 million that was obtained without his consent. On Friday, the 29-year-old NFL player filed a $11.7 million civil case in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. According to the lawsuit, between 2018 and 2021, Camwood Capital Management Group paid over $12 million to a company named Texas Contract Manufacturing Group "without his authorization, proper documentation, or adequate accounting of the transactions" from Mayfield and his wife. According to the lawsuit, Camwood reportedly spent the funds "however they desired," which may include paying for acquisitions or ordinary running costs. Plaintiffs were the main source o...

Bodies recovered from capsized tourist boat off Egypt’s Red Sea coast, 13 still missing

Red Sea Provincial Governor Amr Hanafi told Reuters that rescue crews were still looking for 13 missing persons after three dead were found Tuesday morning from a tourist boat that sank off the coast of Egypt's Red Sea. Thirteen crew members and thirty-one guests were on a multi-day diving vacation when the Sea Story overturned on Monday close to Sataya Reef. High waves hit it, and it sank in five to seven minutes. A Red Sea Governorate statement on Monday said that 16 people were thought to be trapped inside. No hospitalization was necessary for the twenty-eight survivors who were recovered with only minor injuries. Authorities were collaborating with embassies and consulates to give support and documentation, and survivors were being housed in a hotel in Marsa Alam. The yacht passed its ...

Over 18,000 sign up for Supreme Court seats and federal judgeships in Mexico

According to officials on Monday, more than 18,000 people have registered online to contest for federal judgeships and Supreme Court seats in Mexico's controversial new selection method. In the end, however, a random drawing will decide who is on the ballot. In September, the ruling party pushed through a constitutional amendment that would require all federal judges to run for office, doing away with the current system in which lawyers and court personnel mostly advance via the ranks. Numerous protests against the reforms have been organized by current court personnel and their allies, who claim that the changes are part of a ruling-party effort to undermine independent regulatory and monitoring organizations and erode checks and balances. Candidates for federal judgeships and Supreme Cou...

Ex-politician who faced bathroom ban in Italy says Sarah McBride is the subject of ‘rank politics’

Although Sarah McBride is the first openly transgender person elected to the U.S. Congress, she is not the first trans politician to have a hostile fellow member forbid her from using the restroom of her choosing. When Vladimir Luxuria was elected to the Italian Parliament in 2006, she was temporarily prohibited from accessing the ladies' room. She expressed her sympathy for Delaware Democrat McBride. "They did that to me," Luxuria, 59, stated over the phone from her Rome home to NBC News. "What is happening to Sarah McBride is rank politics." Last week, Rep. Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina and a fervent supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, introduced a resolution to forbid lawmakers and House staff from using single-sex facilities other than those that correspond to the...

2-year-old gorilla dies in Canadian zoo after being hit by door that was accidentally shut by worker

Human error was the cause of a 2-year-old western lowland gorilla's death in a Canadian zoo earlier this month, the zoo said. Colleen Baird, director of animal care, health, and welfare at the Calgary Zoo, said in a statement on Wednesday that Eyare, the female gorilla, had been wandering between various rooms in the zoo's gorilla enclosure on November 12 when a member of her care team triggered a hydraulic door. When the care team member unintentionally opened the incorrect door while attempting to remove Eyare from other gorillas for a private training session, the young gorilla was struck and suffered severe head injuries. Eyare passed away from her wounds even though the zoo's veterinary staff started life-saving procedures right away, according to Baird. A official inquiry into Eyare'...

Massachusetts man who spent decades in prison for a murder he didn’t commit is awarded $13 million

FRAMINGHAM, MA (AP) During his nearly three decades in prison, Michael Sullivan suffered severe beatings in multiple prison attacks, lost his mother and four brothers, and saw his girlfriend move on with her life. All for a murder he denied for a long time. Sullivan, 64, received some justice earlier this month when a Massachusetts jury found him not guilty of Wilfred McGrath's 1986 murder and robbery. Despite state laws capping awards for unjust convictions at $1 million, he received $13 million. Although Sullivan's conviction was not assured by his evidence, the jury also discovered that a state police scientist had given a false statement throughout the trial. In recent years, the state has overturned a number of convictions, this one being the most recent. Speaking in his primary lawye...

Taliban detained journalists over 250 times in Afghanistan since takeover, U.N. says

Since taking power three years ago, the Taliban have unjustly jailed journalists 256 times, according to the United Nations mission to Afghanistan, which asked Afghan authorities to safeguard the media.

According to a statement from the U.N. mission (UNAMA) and the U.N. Human Rights Offices, journalists in Afghanistan faced difficult working conditions. According to Roza Otunbayeva, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' special representative, they frequently encounter ambiguous guidelines regarding what they may and cannot report, putting them at danger of intimidation and arbitrary detention for alleged criticism.
