What we know about Luigi Mangione, the former Ivy League grad arrested and linked to UnitedHealthcare CEO's killingLuigi Mangione's lawyer claims he will be pleading not guilty to the charges he faces in Pennsylvania. Mangione was arrested in a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania on Monday after the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City. Mangione is being held without bail in Pennsylvania on charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. Late Monday, Manhattan prosecutors charged him with five counts, including murder, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a forged instrument. Chilling note found inside Brian Thompson person of interest's 'manifesto' Pentagon's chilling 12-day simulation of how nuclear World War 3 would unfold "We’ve pled not guilty, at least to the charges in Pennsylvania. Like I said I’m not aware of any actual charges in New York ," Tom Dickey, Mangione's defense attorney, said. "I’m telling you as his lawyer, he didn’t have any ... representation until I got involved this afternoon. And I’m telling you he’s pleading not guilty." Dickey said his client "shut his mouth" after being told to kept quiet following an outburst while they were in court for an extradition hearing on Tuesday, adding: "Which is good, that’s what he needs to do. Hopefully there won’t be anymore of that." Mangione's lawyer believes the suspect should have been granted bail, but he will continue to be housed at a state prison in Huntingdon. Dickey questioned whether the second-degree murder charge filed in New York might be eligible for bail under Pennsylvania law, but prosecutors raised concerns about both public safety and Mangione being a potential flight risk, and the judge denied it. "To simply say no bail, with all due respect to the judge, I believe bail should have been set," Dickey told reporters on Tuesday. "The judge could set $1 million bail. It could be $5 million bail, but damn it, you get bail. That’s what you do," he said. Now, investigators in New York and Pennsylvania are working to piece together why Mangione may have diverged from this path to make the violent and radical decision to gun down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in a brazen attack on a Manhattan street. The killing sparked widespread discussions about corporate greed, unfairness in the medical insurance industry and even inspired folk-hero sentiment toward his killer. Peter Weeks, the Blair County district attorney, says he’ll work with New York officials to try to return suspect Luigi Mangione there to face charges. Weeks said the New York charges are “more serious” than in Blair County. “We believe their charges take precedent,” Weeks said, promising to do what’s needed to accommodate New York ’s prosecution first. Mangione is being held without bail in Pennsylvania on charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. Late Monday, Manhattan prosecutors charged him with five counts, including murder, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a forged instrument. Mangione doesn’t yet have a lawyer who can speak on his behalf, court officials said. Images of Mangione released Tuesday by Pennsylvania State Police showed him pulling down his mask in the corner of the McDonald’s while holding what appeared to be hash browns and wearing a winter jacket and ski cap. In another photo from a holding cell, he stood unsmiling with rumpled hair. Mangione’s cousin, Maryland lawmaker Nino Mangione, announced Tuesday morning that he’s postponing a fundraiser planned later this week at the Hayfields Country Club north of Baltimore, which was purchased by the Mangione family in 1986. “Because of the nature of this terrible situation involving my Cousin I do not believe it is appropriate to hold my fundraising event scheduled for this Thursday at Hayfields,” Nino Mangione said in a social media post. “I want to thank you for your thoughts, prayers, and support. My family and I are heartbroken and ask that you remember the family of Mr. Thompson in your prayers. Thank you.”

Verdict for Ex-Marine over subway chokehold death in USFederal health officials are warning of a drug even more deadly than fentanyl that has killed numerous people. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned Thursday that an altered version of fentanyl known as carfentanil is believed to be 100 more times potent than fentanyl, a drug that has been pouring over the United States’ southern border, Fox News reported on Tuesday. “Last year, nearly 70% of all U.S. overdose deaths were attributed to illegally manufactured fentanyls (IMFs),” the article said, adding that one of those was carfentanil and deaths resulting from it jumped over 700 percent in 2024. The CDC’s warning said carfentanil has “reemerged in the U.S. drug supply” and cited the CDC’s State Unintentional Drug Overdose Reporting System data. WATCH — “Don’t Do This!” Officer Pleads with Armed Drug Dealer to Let Go of His Gun: The agency continued: In 2013, illegally manufactured fentanyl and fentanyl analogs (IMFs) entered the U.S. illegal drug supply as adulterants of or replacements for white powder heroin in the Northeast and have now replaced heroin as the dominant opioid in the United States ( 1 ). Introduction of IMFs led to a sharp rise in overdose deaths, likely because of their high potency and rapid onset of effects ( 2 , 3 ). In 2023, approximately 72,000 drug overdose deaths, or nearly seven in 10, were estimated to involve fentanyl, which is primarily illegally manufactured. In 2016, CBS News interviewed a man who survived overdosing on carfentanil and was thankful to be alive. “It almost took a father from his kids, a son from his mom and dad, a brother from his brother and sisters. Its the devil,” he said: “Based on the increase in fatal overdoses, the CDC is calling for ‘rigorous monitoring’ of carfentanil and other opioids more potent than fentanyl,” the Fox article read. It is important to note that about 34.3 tons of fentanyl that made it to the U.S. by crossing the southern border have been seized since President Joe Biden (D) and Vice President Kamala Harris (D) took office, Breitbart News reported in October. The outlet noted that amount was enough to kill every person on Earth. “The deadly synthetic opioid is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. Just two milligrams of it — similar to 10 grains of table salt — is considered a lethal dose by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission,” the article said.AP News in Brief at 6:04 p.m. EST

Coleen Rooney was quick to join the conversation, revealing her childhood sparring tales to Barry and McFly's Danny Jones, saying: "My dad had us, me and my two brothers sparring each other when we were younger. He used to get us in the living room, we've got it all on video. I was Big Betty, my brother's called Jo and he was Little Josie, and we used to have a ring walk." Following Coleen's revelation, the esteemed 63 year old ex-featherweight champion recounted how a grave injury had flattened his nose, requiring it to be replaced with a plastic one. Barry disclosed: "When I had it broken it was flat, so they just took the bone out and replaced it with plastic."

Luke DeCock: Where’s Bill? Belichick’s impending UNC arrival casts long shadow over Fenway Bowl.Since its implementation on 1 December 2020, the Export Control Law of the People’s Republic of China (the Export Control Law), has established a comprehensive framework for China’s export control system. To further streamline this framework, the State Council approved the Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on the Export Control of Dual-Use Items (the Regulation”) on 18 September 2024, which came into effect on 1 December 2024. The Export Control Law imposes stringent controls on dual-use items, including goods, technologies, and services that serve both civil and military purposes or enhance military capabilities. This is particularly pertinent for items that can be used in the design, development, production, or deployment of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems. Additionally, the law encompasses technical materials and other data relating to the dual-use items. This alert briefly outlines key features of the new Regulations that impacted businesses and individuals should keep top of mind. UNIFIED LEGAL FRAMEWORK APPLIES TO EXPORT OF DUAL-USE ITEMS Except for monitored chemicals, the Regulations establish a unified administrative system for regulating the export of dual-use items and replace the previously fragmented regulations governing the export control on dual-use items. Additionally, China’s export control framework relies on various export control lists. The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Commerce are currently developing a unified export control list for dual-use items, which will be implemented alongside the Regulations. WHAT’S NEW? Under the new regime, export operators no longer need to apply for dual-use item export operator registration in advance. Instead, they can apply directly for export permits. When applying for an export license for dual-use items, operators must submit documents related to the end user and the intended use(s) of the items. If there is any change in the end user or intended use, the export operator must immediately halt exports, report the change to the competent authorities, and undergo a new verification process. To ensure proper verification, the Regulations establish a “list of concerned entities” system. This system stipulates that importers and end users who do not cooperate with the regulatory requirements can be included in a list of concerned entities and prohibited from enjoying various licenses. EXTRATERRITORIAL REACH The Regulations stipulate that if overseas organizations and individuals transfer or provide certain goods, technologies, and services to specific destination countries, regions, organizations, and individuals outside the People’s Republic of China, they may be required to comply with these Regulations. This includes: To avoid violations, impacted Chinese enterprises and overseas institutions should conduct comprehensive risk assessments of exported products that fall within the scope of these new Regulations.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti hopes Kylian Mbappe will not be sidelined for an extended period after the striker paved the way for a 3-2 Champions League win at Atalanta on Tuesday but was forced off with an injury a few minutes after scoring the opener. Real Madrid have endured a series of injuries this season, with several key players missing significant time, including Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao who are out for the rest of the campaign with ACL tears. "Mbappe has suffered an overload, an ischial (lower pelvis) discomfort," Ancelotti told Movistar Plus. "It doesn't seem serious, but we'll see tomorrow after the exams. He couldn't sprint, it was bothering him a bit and we decided to make the substitution." Facing heavy criticism for his poor form in his first few months with Real Madrid after signing as a free agent from Paris St Germain, Mbappe was having arguably one of his best games of the season at Atalanta, scoring the opener in the 10th minute and making menacing runs. But his night lasted only 35 minutes, when he fell to the floor and asked to be substituted before being replaced by Rodrygo. Vinicius Jr, who was returning to the side after missing the last two weeks with a muscle injury, was on the periphery for most of the game but made the most of the chance he got, netting in the 56th minute to put the visitors back in front after Charles de Ketelaere had equalised with a penalty right before the break. Jude Bellingham extended Real's lead three minutes later and, after Ademola Lookman reduced the deficit in the 65th, the visitors' goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois worked his magic with a string of saves to secure a hard-fought win. With two games left, Real are 18th in the 36-team table on nine points, three points off the top eight spots which secure direct qualification to the last 16. Atalanta are ninth on 11 points. "It's a very important victory, not everyone wins here," Ancelotti said. "We suffered and fought hard, there is no Champions League without suffering. They were pushing, but we started well in the second half. We are very happy. It was a win that is very good for us, not just for the points, but to build confidence. "It's still difficult to finish in the top eight, but we have two games to pick up points. Let's see what happens."
