“President Trump threatened the British Broadcasting Corporation with a $1 billion lawsuit in Florida Monday if it did not retract a news program that featured doctored footage of Trump’s remarks ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. In a letter from Trump’s outside counsel obtained by The Post, the BBC was given until 5 p.m. ET Friday to ‘retract the false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements made about President Trump’ in its ‘Panorama’ program that aired Oct. 28, 2024, titled ‘Trump: A Second Chance?’ … On Monday, BBC Chair Samir Shah conceded in a statement to a UK parliamentary committee that “we accept that the way the speech was edited did give the impression of a direct call for violent action.” (11/10/25)
“The Supreme Court rejected a long-shot effort Monday to overturn its ruling guaranteeing same-sex marriage nationwide. Former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis directly asked the justices to overrule the 2015 landmark decision after a jury awarded damages to a couple whom Davis refused to issue a marriage license. … In a brief order, the justices declined to take up Davis’s appeal, alongside dozens of other petitions up for consideration at the justices’ weekly closed-door conference. There were no noted dissents.” (11/10/25)
“Russia’s Lukoil PJSC declared force majeure on oil shipments from its giant West Qurna 2 field in Iraq, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. The move is a sign that sanctions against Russia’s No. 2 oil producer are beginning to impact its international operations. The US announced penalties against the firm last month as part of President Donald Trump’s efforts to ramp up pressure on Moscow to end its war in Ukraine. Declaring force majeure gives Lukoil the right to skip contractual obligations, but it doesn’t automatically mean shipments from West Qurna 2 will halt. The company owns 75% of the field, which was pumping more than 480,000 barrels a day back in April, according to Interfax.” (11/10/25)
“Ghislaine Maxwell, the Jeffrey Epstein confidante and convicted child sex trafficker, is being waited on ‘hand and foot’ by the staff at her minimum security prison camp while she prepares a request that President Donald Trump commute her sentence, according to whistleblower revelations made public Monday by House Democrats. ‘The deference and servility to Ms. Maxwell have reached such preposterous levels that one of the top officials at the facility has complained that he is ‘sick of having to be Maxwell’s bitch,” according to a letter to Trump from Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee. … Raskin’s letter said Maxwell has received customized meals personally delivered to her cell, after-hours time in a private exercise area and access to a service puppy. Raskin said Maxwell was also afforded private meetings with visitors arranged by the warden, complete with snacks.” (11/10/25)
“President Donald Trump demanded air traffic controllers return to work today as government-directed flight cuts and air traffic staffing absences continue to wreak havoc with U.S. air travel. Trump added that he will reward those who did not take any time off during the 41-day federal government shutdown, but it is not clear how many controllers could qualify. Trump said he would welcome the resignation of those who took time off. ‘All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesn’t will be substantially ‘docked,’’ …The shutdown has led to shortages of air traffic controllers who, like other federal employees, have not been paid for weeks. Officials said it is unclear under the controllers’ union contract how they could be docked or what the source of the $10,000 bonus Trump proposed.” (11/10/25)

“Police in St. Petersburg have detained Diana Loginova, a teenage street musician already jailed twice for short stints after performing anti-Kremlin songs, as she left prison, state media and her supporters said on Monday. … Loginova was due to be released on Monday, but was instead taken to a police station in central St. Petersburg where the state RIA news agency cited a law enforcement source as saying she was expected to be charged with another public order offence that could see her jailed again for another short stint.

The offer was delivered to the state news agency RIA Novosti and first reported by Reuters on Sunday. ‘Secretary of State Marco Rubio and I understand the need for regular communication,’ Lavrov said. ‘It is important for discussing the Ukrainian issue and promoting the bilateral agenda.

“The Federal Aviation Administration on Monday will ‘effectively prohibit business aviation’ at a dozen major U.S. airports, adding to flight restrictions for commercial airlines as air traffic controller shortages snarl travel in the government shutdown, a trade group said. Last week, the Trump administration ordered U.S. commercial airlines to cut their schedules to ease strains on air traffic controllers who are working without their regular paychecks in the shutdown. They didn’t require cuts to private flights, though the air traffic shortages have slowed travel broadly.” (11/10/25)
