for 47 minutter sidenHøiby skal starte sin forklaring i dag
Marius Borg Høiby skal etter planen starte sin forklaring i dag. Rettssaken mot ham varer i syv uker. Først skal kvinnen som etter tiltalen er fornærmet i voldtektssaken på Skaugum fra desember 2018 fortsette sitt vitnemål. Hun bistås av advokat John Christian Elden. Kvinnens forklaring går for lukkede dører, men NRK kan publisere det som ikke omfattes av referatforbudet. Kvinnen sa i går at hun ikke husker øyeblikket da Høiby ifølge tiltalen skal ha filmet et overgrep mot henne. – Hun hadde jo en god oppfatning av tiltalte før hun ble vist dette materialet av politiet. Det er jo syv år siden dette skal ha skjedd, sier bistandsadvokat Elden. Oslo tingrett har lagt ned forbud mot at kvinnen skal identifiseres. NRK skriver ikke navnet hennes eller andre detaljer som gjør at hun kan gjenkjennes. Høiby nekter straffskyld for voldtekt mot henne og tre andre kvinner. Det sa han på første rettsdag.
for 50 minutter sidenUkraine-Russia talks: negotiators gather in Abu Dhabi in wake of ‘massive’ strikes on Kyiv – Europe live
Both sides downplay chances of immediate breakthrough in US-brokered talks as western allies reportedly weigh new defence pact Hello and welcome to the Europe live blog. We will be bringing you all the latest updates as Ukrainian and Russian officials meet for their second round of talks in Abu Dhabi, brokered by the Trump administration. As Pjotr Sauer explains, the talks are expected to mirror last month’s format – but both sides have downplayed prospects of an immediate breakthrough. Here are some of the latest major news lines to catch up on: Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said Moscow carried out a massive and “deliberate” attack on Monday night into Tuesday as temperatures in Kyiv plunged to -20C. It involved a record number of 71 ballistic missiles as well as 450 drones, he said, sent to destroy energy infrastructure. US president Donald Trump had said the new strikes did not – as Ukraine claimed – amount to a breach of Russia’s week-long commitment to hold off on striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure amid freezing winter temperatures, but Nato chief Mark Rutte said on Tuesday that the attacks “did not “signal seriousness about peace”. Under a proposal discussed between Ukrainian, European and US officials, sources briefed on the discussions have told the Financial Times, Kyiv has agreed with western allies that repeated breaches of any future ceasefire agreement from Russia would lead to a coordinated US-Europe military response. And meanwhile, as Julian Borger reports, the New Start treaty between the US and Russia expires on Thursday, removing the last remaining mutual limits on the world’s two biggest nuclear arsenals.

Ni personer ble drept i israelske angrep mot mål i Gaza onsdag, melder palestinske sivilforsvarsmyndigheter. Blant de drepte skal det være tre barn. Israels versjon av hendelsen er at angrepene er et svar på skyting mot israelske styrker, der én soldat ble alvorlig såret. Israelske styrker gjennomførte svært presise motangrep etter beskytning, heter det. Sivilforsvaret i Gaza, som er under Hamas' styring, opplyser at de ni ble drept etter flere runder med angrep med fly og artilleri. Minst 31 personer skal ha blitt såret. Israel vurderer hendelsen som et palestinsk brudd på våpenhvileavtalen. (NTB)

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...

Netflix film revisits evidence that led to Letby’s conviction and hears from expert who says his research was misused Shortly after Lucy Letby was sentenced to 15 whole-life terms for murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven others between June 2015 and June 2016 – a conviction that made her Britain’s worst ever child serial killer – Cheshire police agreed to give “unparalleled and exclusive access” to the makers of a Netflix film about the case. The finished documentary, The Investigation Of Lucy Letby, which is released on Wednesday, must be very different from what the producers envisaged when they first began work on the project, given the subsequent unexpected turns in the story. Since the two trials, the prosecution evidence and police handling of the case have faced criticism from an unprecedentedly large number of distinguished British and international medical experts. Led by the Canadian neonatologist, Dr Shoo Lee – who says again in the feature-length Netflix documentary that his research was misused to convict the nurse – many of the experts are convinced Letby is innocent, the victim of a catastrophic miscarriage of justice.

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. Jagland har varslet en redegjørelse om saken på et senere tidspunkt.

Saif al-Islam, sønnen til Libyas mangeårige leder Muammar Gaddafi, er drept. 53 år gamle Saif al-Islam var den mest kjente av Gaddafis sønner. Omstendighetene rundt drapet er foreløpig ikke kjent.

I 2021 registrerte Saif al-Islam seg som presidentkandidat i et valg som siden ble avlyst. (NTB)
