Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:36:28 GMT

Prince Andrew should give up any hope about returning to royal duties or rehabilitating his reputation, following Wednesday’s release of Jeffrey Epstein-related court documents, which allege that he took part in an “underage orgy” with a teen girl on the sex offender’s Caribbean island and groped the breasts of one of Epstein’s alleged victims, royal experts said in an interview Thursday.The experts spoke to the Daily Mail after King Charles III’s younger brother was among the high-profile figures named in the newly unsealed court documents because of their association with the multimillionaire financier, who died by suicide in 2019 after being arrested on sex trafficking charges.SANDRINGHAM, NORFOLK – DECEMBER 25: Prince Andrew, Duke of York and Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh leave the Christmas Morning Service at Sandringham Church on December 25, 2023 in Sandringham, Norfolk.

CNN Runs Gaza Coverage Past Jerusalem Team Operating Under Shadow of IDF Censor

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:36:28 GMT

Whether reporting from the Middle East, the United States, or anywhere else across the globe, every CNN journalist covering Israel and Palestine must submit their work for review by the news organization’s bureau in Jerusalem prior to publication, under a long-standing CNN policy. While CNN says the policy is meant to ensure accuracy in reporting on a polarizing subject, it means that much of the network’s recent coverage of the war in Gaza — and its reverberations around the world — has been shaped by journalists who operate under the shadow of the country’s military censor. Like all foreign news organizations operating in Israel, CNN’s Jerusalem bureau is subject to the rules of the Israel Defense Forces’s censor, which dictates subjects that are off-limits for news organizations to cover, and censors articles it deems unfit or unsafe to print. As The Intercept reported last month, the military censor recently restricted eight subjects, including security cabinet meetings, in...
