Prediction markets allow you to put money on everything from the US attacking Iran to Jesus returning. Saahil Desai explains their dizzying rise In the early hours of 3 January, Donald Trump ordered a surprise attack on the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, to kidnap the country’s leader, Nicolás Maduro. Millions of Venezuelans’ lives were thrown into uncertainty. Politicians at home and abroad scrambled to respond. It seemed this was something no one had seen coming. Except one person did actually predict it. In the hours before the attack, someone - and we have no way of knowing who - placed a series of bets that Donald Trump would oust Maduro on a prediction market platform, netting them nearly $500,000 when it happened. These platforms allow their users not just to bet on whoever’s going to win the Super Bowl, but also on world events. Heavily regulated under the Biden administration, these apps have enjoyed a huge boom in popularity since Trump came to power. Continue reading...

Robinson’s attorneys have argued that a judge should disqualify local prosecutors because the adult daughter of Chad Grunander, a deputy county attorney, was in attendance at the rally on a Utah college campus where Kirk was shot dead. The defense alleges that the office’s move to seek the death penalty just days after Kirk’s killing indicated a “strong emotional reaction” from Grunander, and suggested a conflict of interest.

Seksualforbryteren Jeffrey Epstein deltok ved minst to på arrangementer i den offisielle residensen til Thorbjørn Jagland Strasbourg, mens Jagland var generalsekretær i Europarådet fra 2009 til 2019, opplyser Europarådet til NRK. – Vi har ingen indikasjoner på at dette innebar offisielle anliggender for Europarådet med Epstein, og det finnes ingen spor etter disse private møtene i Jaglands offisielle dagbok fra den gang, skriver seksjonssjef Heli Suominen i Europarådet til NRK. Hun opplyser at Europarådet har gått gjennom arkiver og gjennomført administrative undersøkelser i forkant av rapportene om Jaglands kontakt med Epstein som ble kjent forrige helg. Europarådets undersøkelser viser også at Jagland bodde privat under et offisielt besøk til New York i 2018, som ifølge omtale i media kan knyttes til Epstein. – Vi har også fastslått at han ved to anledninger, i 2015 og 2018, bodde privat i Paris, som medieavsløringer knytter til Epstein. Vi har ikke funnet dokumentasjon som viser at han besøkte Epsteins eiendommer i offisiell sammenheng, skriver Suominen til NRK. Hun understreker at Jagland ble satt grundig inn i organisasjonens interne regelverk, spesielt når det gjelder offisiell gjestfrihet og mottak av gaver. Flere medier har bedt Jaglands advokat om en kommentar til opplysningene, men han har sagt at det er for tidlig å gå inn i disse detaljene.

The letter from Senator Raphael Warnock and representatives Lucy McBath and Nikema Williams asks “whether the Trump administration is investigating a legitimate foreign intelligence nexus, which would legally require immediate congressional briefing”.

Financial executives at Warwickshire county council said in December that the proposed increase was a “riskier financial strategy” that would threaten the medium-term sustainability of the local authority.

Don Lemon says about a dozen federal agents came to his Los Angeles hotel to arrest him overnight on 30 January, even though the former CNN anchor’s attorney had told authorities he would turn himself in to face federal civil rights charges over his coverage of an anti-immigration enforcement protest that disrupted a Minnesota church service. Lemon on Monday told ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel that sending the agents was a waste of resources because law enforcement wouldn’t have had to dispatch agents to follow him if he had been allowed to surrender to authorities.

US president to meet with Gustavo Petro weeks after threatening military action in the country Hello and welcome to the US politics live blog. I’m Tom Ambrose and I will be bringing you all the latest news lines over the next few hours. President Donald Trump is set to welcome Colombian president Gustavo Petro to the White House on Tuesday for talks just weeks after threatening military action against the South American country and accusing the leader of pumping cocaine into the United States. Grammys host Trevor Noah has been threatened with legal action by Donald Trump for a joke during Sunday’s awards ceremony about the president’s connection to the disgraced late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. A US disaster response firm submitted a plan to White House officials that would guarantee 300% profits and a seven-year monopoly over a new trucking and logistics plan for Donald Trump’s board of peace in Gaza, according to a November proposal obtained by the Guardian. The homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, said that all federal agents in Minneapolis will immediately begin wearing body cameras and that the program will be expanded nationwide “as funding is available”. Iran’s top diplomat has said the government is ready for negotiations with the US as the two countries reportedly prepared to send top envoys to Istanbul for high-stakes talks on the Iranian nuclear programme later this week. Donald Trump has been accused of “corruption, plain and simple” after it was revealed that a member of the Emirati royal family was behind a $500m investment into the Trump family’s cryptocurrency company. Immediately after a US border patrol agent shot two people in Oregon last month, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the targets were “vicious” gang members connected to a prior shooting and alleged they had “attempted to run over” officers with their vehicle.

Advocates call for further disclosures after Trump’s justice department released more than 3m files last week The release of about 3m Jeffrey Epstein investigative files has failed to quell outrage over justice department officials’ handling of these disclosures, with advocates claiming potentially millions of documents are still being withheld. Donald Trump’s Department of Justice was required to disclose all investigative files by 19 December under The Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA). While the justice department did release some documents on that date, last week’s disclosure came nearly six weeks after this deadline. Continue reading...

Utgreiinga av kontakten mellom tidlegare statsminister Thorbjørn Jagland og den avdøde seksualforbrytaren Jeffery Epstein vil ta nokre veker. Det seier Sigurd Klomsæt som er advokaten til Jagland til NRK. – Eg jobbar med å sette saman eit team som skal gå gjennom materialet. Desse personane må på plass før vi kan kome med ei utgreiing. Arbeidet med å ferdigstille ei utgreiing vil ta nokre veker, seier han. – Det kjem ei forklaring og den må vere grundig. Kan ikkje no seie eksakt når, skriv Jagland til NRK. Jagland har innrømma dårleg dømmekraft, men presiserer at kontakten ikkje var knytt til Epsteins privatliv eller unge jenter.

To klimaaktivister fikk i fjor en bot på 1,2 millioner kroner etter å ha sprayet maling på fasaden til Klima-og miljødepartementet, og to aktivister fikk fengselstraff for å spraye maling på monolitten. Nå kritiserer FN Høyesterett for at straffen var for streng. Norge er en del av Århuskonvensjonen, som blant annet skal beskytte mennekser som deltar i fredelige klimademonstrasjoner. FN er bekymret for at den høye boten legger begrensninger på retten til å demonstrere fredelig. – Undertrykkelse og kriminalisering av personer som deltar i fredelige miljøprotester og sivil ulydighet er en stor trussel mot demokratiet, menneskerettigheter, det offentlige rom og utøvelsen av rettighetene som er garantert i henhold til Århuskonvensjonen. NRK har bedt høyesterett om en kommentar til kritikken, men så langt ikke fått noe svar.
