Andrew and Tristan Tate have not been told the names of women accusing them of rape and human trafficking because of fears they might share those names on social media. The Tates’ lawyers are asking the court to review this decision, saying it affects their right to a fair trial. The prosecutions say the women’s identities are kept secret to protect them and the justice process.
Key Facts
Andrew Tate (39) faces accusations from three women about events from 2014 to 2016; Tristan Tate (37) faces accusations from one woman about events from 2012 to 2016.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) charged the Tates in March 2024 but has not revealed accusers’ names.
The Tates deny all allegations.
The Tates live in Romania and Bedfordshire police declined to interview them there.
The CPS fears the Tates could use their large social media followings to publicly identify the women.
Andrew Tate has over 10 million followers on his X (formerly Twitter) account.
The CPS will disclose accusers’ names once the Tates are extradited to the UK.
The Tates offered to pay fines to gain access to the names, but this was rejected.
The Tates’ lawyers argue withholding the names harms their defense and believe the women’s vulnerability is not proven enough to justify secrecy.

The cyber agencies of the Five Eyes countries—including the U.S., Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand—issued a joint warning about rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) that could change cyber attacks and defenses soon. Despite concerns, experts say having leading AI models in U.S. hands gives America an advantage, allowing it to find and fix cybersecurity weaknesses before enemies can exploit them.
Key Facts
The Five Eyes alliance warned about the fast development of advanced AI models that affect cyber security.
Anthropic’s AI model called Mythos could infiltrate highly secure NSA networks under certain conditions.
The White House stopped public access to Anthropic’s most advanced models due to national security worries.
AI is a dual-use technology, helping both offense (military/intelligence use) and defense in cybersecurity.
The U.S. benefits first from discovering its own AI-related security flaws and can fix them before adversaries exploit them.
Anthropic’s Project Glasswing uses Mythos to find and patch vulnerabilities in critical software early.
Mythos Preview identified nearly 3,900 serious security gaps in open-source software and uncovered a decades-old flaw in OpenBSD.
Several major companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and JPMorgan Chase partner with Anthropic on this defense project.

A single 79-year-old patient was given early access to Eli Lilly’s experimental obesity drug retatrutide through the FDA’s compassionate use program. Reports suggest this patient may be President Donald Trump, who has obesity-related health conditions, though officials have not confirmed this.
Key Facts
Eli Lilly’s retatrutide is an experimental drug targeting hormones related to obesity, diabetes, and sleep apnea.
The drug is currently in late-stage trials and has shown significant weight loss results similar to weight-loss surgery.
Only one patient, aged 79, was granted early access to the drug through the FDA’s expanded access program.
This patient reportedly has refractory obesity, obstructive sleep apnea, and pulmonary hypertension (high lung blood pressure).
The access request was made in April by a senior NIH clinician on behalf of this patient.
The patient previously used tirzepatide, another hormone-targeting obesity drug, with only moderate success.
Neither the White House nor the Department of Health and Human Services confirmed if President Trump is the patient.
Experts find it unusual that only one patient would get access to this drug under compassionate use for common conditions.

A coalition of labor groups, including the AFL-CIO, is warning that a new veterans’ benefits bill could cut or reduce disability payments for up to 1.5 million veterans. While the bill adds some new benefits, it may also cut compensation for common conditions like sleep apnea and tinnitus and increase the use of private healthcare providers instead of VA care.
Key Facts
The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) and about 20 other labor groups oppose the veterans’ benefits bill.
The bill is called the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act and includes the Major Richard Star Act provisions.
The Major Richard Star Act would allow some combat-injured veterans to receive full military retirement pay alongside VA disability benefits.
To pay for new benefits, the bill proposes cutting or reducing disability payments for conditions like tinnitus and sleep apnea.
Approximately 1.5 million veterans could lose or see cuts to their disability compensation.
The bill could lead to more care being provided outside the VA system, increasing reliance on private healthcare providers.
Labor groups argue that cutting benefits and pushing privatization could harm veterans who depend on VA services.
About half of VA-funded medical care is already provided by outside providers, and the bill may accelerate this trend.

Jon Stewart criticized President Donald Trump’s administration on The Daily Show for problems with the reflecting pool in Washington, DC, and the handling of an Iran peace deal. Stewart also highlighted awkward moments involving US officials and questioned the benefits of the Iran agreement.
Key Facts
The Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool in DC turned green due to a failed paint job by Greenwater Services, a company linked to a Republican donor with a past bribery conviction.
Jon Stewart joked about the reflecting pool situation and questioned President Trump’s choice of contractors.
A viral video showed US Vice President JD Vance being ignored by Qatari leaders during peace talks in Switzerland.
The US agreed to support a $300 billion fund for Iran’s reconstruction and to unfreeze Iranian assets, aiming to improve relations.
Iran allowed International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors back into the country after the US initiated the peace deal.
Stewart referenced former President Obama’s Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA), noting inspectors left only after US military actions started.
JD Vance called the Iran deal a “classic Trump deal,” expecting Iran to spend unfrozen money on US agricultural products.
Stewart questioned the value of trading smaller concessions for peace compared to risking conflict and bigger losses.

A scientist named Kent Kiehl has studied the brains of criminals to find signs of psychopathy. His brain scan evidence has been used in many US court cases to argue that some defendants should get lighter sentences because their brains show they might not fully understand right from wrong.
Key Facts
Kent Kiehl is a researcher who studies prisoners' brains to find traits linked to psychopathy, a disorder involving a lack of empathy or guilt.
In 2009, Kiehl testified in the trial of Brian Dugan, a convicted serial killer, using brain scans and a psychopathy checklist.
Brain scans used were done with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which shows brain activity when subjects see emotional images.
Despite Kiehl’s testimony, Dugan was sentenced to death; his sentence was changed to life imprisonment after Illinois paused the death penalty.
After this trial, brain scan evidence has been used in thousands of criminal cases in the US to argue for lighter punishment.
A 2019 study found brain-based evidence appeared in over 2,800 court opinions and about 10-12% of murder trials involved such arguments.
The idea is that certain brain abnormalities may make some people more prone to criminal behavior, which can affect their legal responsibility.
Scientists remain cautious, and the use of brain evidence in court is still controversial and debated.

The U.S. labor market may be stronger than monthly job reports have shown, as upcoming data revisions could add jobs instead of cutting them. This change suggests more job growth through early 2026 than currently reported, affecting views on the economy and Federal Reserve policies.
Key Facts
For the first time in years, job data revisions might increase the official job count rather than reduce it.
Monthly payroll reports are based on surveys and often get updated later with more complete job records.
Recent signs show steady unemployment and faster payroll growth than last year.
Economists estimate about 230,000 more jobs were created through the end of 2025 than reported in current payroll data.
The government will release the next annual job data update early next year, revising numbers through March 2026.
Previous large downward revisions might be fading due to factors like slower immigration and changes in how new businesses are counted.
If job growth is stronger, it supports the idea that the Federal Reserve might keep raising interest rates.
Some economists see reduced reasons to expect easier monetary policy based on these improved job data trends.

The US Supreme Court ruled that Damon Landor, a former Louisiana inmate, cannot sue prison guards who shaved off his dreadlocks against his Rastafarian religious beliefs. The court said a federal law protecting religious freedom in prisons does not allow lawsuits against individual officials.
Key Facts
Damon Landor is a former inmate in Louisiana who had his dreadlocks shaved off by prison guards.
Landor argued that shaving his dreadlocks violated his Rastafarian faith, which views dreadlocks as a spiritual symbol.
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Landor cannot sue the individual prison officials for monetary damages.
The court said the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) protects religious rights but does not allow suing individual state employees.
RLUIPA applies to prisons that receive federal funding but requires officials' consent to be sued personally.
Conservative justices formed the majority; three liberal justices disagreed with the ruling.
Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote that Congress cannot impose this kind of legal responsibility on individual officials without their consent.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, saying RLUIPA aims to protect prisoners' religious rights.
