Former President Donald Trump has announced that he expects to be arrested in connection with the Manhattan District Attorney's investigation, and has called for protest and a speech once the charges are officially pressed. This move comes after months of legal speculation, which recently reached a fever pitch with reports that he has been in private talks with his legal team.

When asked why he anticipates being arrested, Trump cited the District Attorney's alleged hatred for him as the driving force. He could face charges related to hush money paid to Stormy Daniels in the 2016 election, a claim that was rejected by the Justice Department due to insufficient evidence. Despite this, it appears that the District Attorney may be determined to shoe-horn the same theory into a state claim.

The former president has reportedly expressed an interest in making a speech after the charges are brought, sparking worry amongst advisers worried about potential violence or an all-too-similar situation to

Fans of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will be in for a treat on Saturday, March 18, as the intense rivalry between Leon Edwards and Kamaru Usman is set to resume. These two talented athletes have a storied history that goes back to 2015, when Usman won the first clash and Edwards took the second match in 2022. Now, UFC 286 will feature their third duel.

The fight for the Welterweight Championship will take place in London’s 02 Arena, which seats 40,000 people and is one of the UK’s largest indoor arenas. The early prelims will start at 12:30 pm EDT, followed by the prelims at 3:00 pm and the main card at 5:00 pm, which will be broadcast by BT Sport Box Office in the UK and ESPN in the USA. UFC Fight Pass will broadcast the early and preliminary fights

Islam Makhachev has wasted no time in calling out UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards following his title defense win at UFC 286. The lightweight champion seeks to become a double champion at UFC Abu Dhabi in October.

Makhachev took to Twitter to post, “I want Leon next, October in Abu Dhabi”. The judges awarded Edwards a majority decision in his title trilogy match against Kamaru Usman, avenging the loss in their first title bout.

The fighter has already drawn attention from other competitors, including former interim champion Colby Covington, who Edwards is not interested in fighting. The champion had his eyes set on the clash between Gilbert Burns and Jorge Masvidal at UFC 287, in pursuit of a grudge match.

The light heavyweight contender is also looking to avenge Usman’s title loss. In 2019, Edwards successfully defended

El Super Clasico of the 2023 Liga MX is almost here! On Saturday, March 18, Guadalajara Chivas will welcome their archrivals Club America to Estadio Akron in Zapopan, Mexico. Both teams are close in the League standings, making this expected to be a thrilling match. Before kicking off, here is what you need to know.

Guadalajara Chivas's home record is 2-1-1 with 6 goals scored and 4 conceded in the 2023 Liga MX Clausura. The club needs its top scorer, midfielder Victor Guzman, to keep up his recent goal scoring streak if they have hope of overcoming America. Unfortunately, their forwards have not been able to contribute as much due to injuries from Alexis Vega and Isaac Brizuela.

On the other side, Club America is

For millions of TikTok users in the US, the popular video-sharing platform may soon become inaccessible as the Biden administration is ramping up pressure to ban the app in the country. Politically, the issue has drawn bipartisan support in Washington, D.C. with a bill currently going through Congress, known as the RESTRICT Act, that would grant the secretary of commerce the power to regulate or ban foreign-produced technology like TikTok – owned by Bytedance, a Chinese company.

The potential ban comes as the Biden administration is investigating reports of user data that could fall into the hands of the Chinese government and could be weaponized for China's political aims. The policy would involve preventing access to the app through app stores like Apple and Google, and could even go as far as to block access by internet service providers.

Users may be able to get around the ban, but experts agree that

In a shocking turn of events, a phone incident involving University of Kentucky student journalist Jack Weaver, photo director of The Kentucky Kernel, and a Razorbacks staff member occurred after the No. 18 Texas A&M vs. Arkansas men's basketball game in the quarterfinals of the SEC men's basketball tournament on Friday.

Weaver claims a Razorbacks assistant, later identified as Riley Hall, director of internal operations, grabbed his phone and threw it to the ground. USC AD Hunter Yurachek later released a statement where Hall expressed his regret, claiming it was an inadvertent act. The Kentucky Kernel released a statement, standing with Weaver and confirming the incident.

The incident occurred as the Razorbacks fell 67-61 to Texas A&M. Arkansas head coach Eric Musselman left the court in an intense tirade and Weaver was there to capture the moment. Musselman never mentioned the incident, but did express frustration

Former President Donald Trump is expected to turn himself in next week to face a criminal indictment from the Manhattan District Attorney's investigation into his business dealings. According to sources connected to the investigation, DA Alvin Bragg is considering charging Trump with crimes related to how he and his business classified reimbursement checks to his former fixer Michael Cohen for the hush money payment to Stormy Daniels and concealed the payment to hide a second crime.

Trump acknowledged the possible indictment and called for protests in a social media post on Saturday. He has argued privately that the impending indictment is a result of Bragg's alleged hatred for him. Concerns from some of his advisers about the optics of a large protest in the streets of Manhattan has done nothing to deter the former President's plans.

As such, meetings have been going on throughout the week between city, state, and federal law enforcement agencies in New York City to prepare for the

As just 10 games of the season remain, Hull City must face their toughest challenge yet when they take on top-of-the-table Burnley at the MKM Stadium on Wednesday. While there may be a glimmer of hope that the Tigers can make a play-off charge in these remaining 10 fixtures, they face an eleven point gap and plenty of competition to hold them back.

Head coach Liam Rosenior has done a commendable job under the circumstances, with City still comfortably sitting in mid-table. Unfortunately, they have yet to field their strongest team due to injury trouble, making consistent headway difficult.

The run-in begins with a home clash against Burnley, and manager Vincent Kompany is preparing for the game. He has hinted at unexpected surprises in their return and hopes to add to their tally of 80 points - the highest in the league.

The hosts

Tyra Banks recently announced she was leaving her post as host of the long-running "Dancing With the Stars" competition. Following former judge Len Goodman's retirement earlier this year, producers at BBC Studios and Disney+ have announced Tom Bergeron will return to helm the series.

Bergeron's return is welcome news to fans of the show, as he was the host of 28 seasons before Banks replaced him in 2020. When asked if he had been approached for the gig, his rep had no comment.

Banks managed to grow into the role during her three season tenure and her departure came as she prepares to focus on her business and behind-the-scenes producing. She recently launched an ice cream brand, SMiZE & Dream, in the United Arab Emirates and is looking to bring the brand to the U.S.

Bergeron is the perfect

Southampton proved their human spirit against Tottenham, snatching a late 3-3 draw out from the jaws of defeat thanks to a dramatic 90th minute penalty. With hefty injuries and a relegation battle on the line, Ruben Selles'll team held their nerve against their Champions League-bound opponents in a gripping game of football.

James Ward-Prowse, the captain and talisman of Southampton, stepped up with the weight of his side's survival on his shoulders and coolly sent former housemate and neighbour Fraser Foster the wrong way, finding the top corner in emphatic fashion. Not only had he saved his team in the dying embers of the match, but he had also made Tottenham's quest for a top-four finish more problematic.

The comeback was formed by several factors and moments. Theo Walcott returned to the Premier League with vengeance and scored his first goal in nearly two

On the night of Friday, March 17th, individuals across Northern California were treated to an awe-inspiring sight. Residents in areas covering Sacramento, Stockton, Folsom, Roseville, Santa Rosa, Petaluma and Oakmont all reported seeing streaks of fast-moving bright light in the night sky shortly after 9 pm. Many were puzzled by this unexpected phenomena, with speculation ranging from drones to satellites.

Astronomer Jonathan McDowell weighed in on the issue, confirming that the lights were likely space debris that reentered the Earth's atmosphere around 9:30 pm. The object, catalogued as object 45265, had been orbiting the earth for the past 3 years before reentering the atmosphere.

To confirm his analysis, McDowell tweeted to his many followers about the piece of space junk, which was a Japanese communications package called ICS-EF that had been originally launched to the

Former President Donald Trump could soon face criminal charges in connection to allegations of hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Manhattan prosecutors have now offered Trump the chance to testify before a grand jury, a sign that an indictment of the former president could be imminent.

District Attorney Alvin Bragg has declined to comment on the upcoming proceedings but the investigation centers around a $130,000 payment made to Daniels from Trump’s personal attorney shortly before the 2016 election. The payment was reportedly part of a non-disclosure agreement regarding an alleged affair between Trump and Daniels.

Bragg has now presented evidence to the grand jury and hopes to make a final decision on whether to indict the former president before other similar cases reach a decision. Donald Trump himself has denied any wrongdoing and responded to speculation of impending charges with a post to social media last month saying that Bragg and the other investigators are “t

Former President Donald Trump made a passionate plea for his supporters to "take our nation back" as word of an impending criminal charge from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's investigation hung in the air. With echoes of his Jan. 6, 2021 battle cry to save his presidency, the former president and 2024 GOP hopeful used his Truth Social platform to urge followers to take part in his defense.

While details of a potential arrest remain vague, sources close to the investigation say it could involve something to do with how Trump and his business handled the payment of hush money to Michael Cohen, his former attorney and "fixer" during the 2016 campaign, for a more clandestine matter. Trump's legal team, which includes attorney Joseph Tacopina, admitted the former president would submit himself to a potential indictment, though he might be arrested in Florida due to New York City security issues.

On March 13th, Def Leppard's one-armed drummer Rick Allen was attacked outside of the Four Seasons Hotel in Fort Lauderdale Beach, Florida. According to an arrest report, the suspect, 19-year-old Max Hartley of Avon, Ohio, allegedly ran toward Allen at full speed, striking him and knocking him backward. The violent attack caused Allen to hit his head on the ground.

In an effort to help Allen, a woman came running out of the hotel, but unfortunately, Hartley also knocked her to the ground. While the woman was trying to make her escape back inside the hotel, Hartley grabbed her by the hair and dragged her back outside.

Hartley is currently out on a $5,000 bond and has been charged with neglect and abuse of an elderly person. Allen was in South Florida for a show co-headlined by '80s rock group

Bangladesh's batsman, Mushfiqur Rahim, made history on March 20 by scoring the fastest century made by a Bangladeshi in a one-day international, completing 7,000 runs in the ODI format in the process. Reaching his ninth century off 60 balls, Rahim broke Shakib Al Hasan's record of scoring the fastest century in 63 balls against Zimbabwe in 2009. The bang resulted in a Bangladesh record score of 349-6, beating the previous score of 338-8 scored in winning the opener of the three-game series against Ireland. The two sides’ match was eventually called off due to rain. Rahim’s century involved fourteen fours and two sixes. Bangladesh will go on to play the third and deciding game in the series on March 25.

The International Criminal Court made headlines on March 17 when it issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova, Commissioner for Children's Rights in the Office of the President of the Russian Federation, for allegedly forcing the deportation of Ukrainian children from Russian-occupied territory to Russia. According to Kyiv, some 16,000 children have been taken to Russia from Ukrainian territory since the February 2022 invasion, with only 307 being returned.

The Kremlin responded saying it does not cooperate with the ICC and that the warrant was "null and void". President Biden, on the other hand, sided with the ICC and stated the court was justified in issuing the warrant and that Putin has "clearly committed war crimes". He also noted, however, that the U.S. does not recognize the court's authority.

The latest development has raised concerns, as Putin is scheduled

Wyoming on Friday became the first US state to outlaw abortion pills, with Governor Mark Gordon signing a bill that would punish prescription and illicit sales of the pills with up to six months in prison or a $9,000 fine. In a separate but related move, Gordon allowed a wider bill that bans all abortion except in limited circumstances to become law without his signature. Women “upon whom a chemical abortion is performed or attempted” will not be prosecuted, and the law exempts treatment of a “natural miscarriage according to currently accepted medical guidelines.”

The legislative moves in Wyoming come as a Texas judge considers a lawsuit that could effectively place a nationwide ban on the common abortion pill, mifepristone. More than a dozen states have already placed restrictions on abortion medication, often requiring an in-person visit to a doctor before obtaining a pill, and Wyoming is the first

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has made a groundbreaking decision to issue arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin, the current President of Russia, and Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova, the Commissioner for Children’s Rights in the Office of the President of the Russian Federation. It is alleged that both are responsible for war crimes such as “unlawful deportation of population (children)” and “transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation”.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denounced the decision as "outrageous and unacceptable," as the court's warrant has no jurisdiction in Russia due to its non-recognition of the court. In response, Ukrainian officials were ecstatic, celebrating what appears to be tangible progress towards justice. Indeed, all parties involved in the court’s decision have

In a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court overturned decade-old protection of the right to abortion on June 30, 2022. This decision has left the legality of abortion up to individual states, meaning abortion access in the United States could become more difficult for the women who need them.

In response, Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon signed a bill banning medication-induced abortions and allowed a near-complete abortion ban to go into effect without his signature. Gordon raised concerns about potential penalties ranging from months of imprisonment to hefty fines that could delay the implementation of any legal bans.

The state is expected to face further legal challenges, as plaintiffs in an ongoing lawsuit challenge the new law. Pro-abortion rights activists argue that healthcare decisions should not be made with political motives. Meanwhile, 15 other states already have restrictions on abortion including North Dakota, which does not have any abortion providers. Pro-choice activists argue that under the new regulations

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon has signed a bill prohibiting the use of abortion pills in the state, allowing a separate measure restricting abortion to become law without a signature. In a statement the republican Governor acknowledged the possible lawsuit that could arise and expressed his desire for swift resolution of the constitutionality of the abortion ban in Wyoming. He is of the opinion that such resolution should come from a “vote of the people.”

A challenge to the law has already been filed in an ongoing lawsuit, whereby the Wyoming ACLU advocacy director Antonio Serrano criticized the Governor’s decision to sign the law, saying “A person’s health, not politics, should guide important medical decisions -- including the decision to have an abortion.”

Medication abortions have been the preferred method of ending pregnancy in the United States even before the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade, the ruling that protected the right to

On Friday March 17, Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon signed a bill that would make the use or prescribing of medication abortion pills illegal. In addition, he allowed a more sweeping abortion ban to become law without his signature. The two laws will take effect this weekend.

The first law will specifically outlaws prescription contraceptives and so-called "morning-after" pills, with exemptions only for treatments of natural miscarriage and imminent peril to the life or health of the woman. Violation of this ban is punishable by up to 6 months in jail with a maximum fine of $9,000.

The second law, referred to as the Life is a Human Right Act, will ban abortion except where necessary to protect the health and life of the mother, or in cases of rape or incest. There is an exception for pregnancies in which the fetus exhibits a lethal abnormality. Abortion rights supporters already have a suit in progress against the existing

The World Baseball Classic is finally returning after a long sixth-year hiatus, and after a week of pool play and knockout action, the stage is set. Team USA and Puerto Rico have secured spots in the quarterfinals, while Japan and Cuba are also through to the semifinals after dominating their respective groups. Mexico is also in the quarterfinals, with Randy Arozarena's five-run explosion against Canada clinching them a spot in the next round.

The tournament is now a single-elimination bracket culminating with the final on Tuesday, March 21. Mexico faces Puerto Rico in Miami, and Team USA takes on Venezuela. Japan and Cuba, who won over Italy and Australia respectively, will face-off in the semifinals in Tokyo.

Arozarena, who acquired Mexican citizenship last year, has been instrumental in Mexico's run so far. After going 7 for 14

Ryan Reynolds has scored big with the news of T-Mobile's acquisition of Mint Mobile in a deal worth potentially up to $1.35 billion. The second largest wireless carrier in the US has announced it is buying the prepaid wireless carrier owned by Ka’ena Corporation that consists of 3 companies. Besides Mint, Ultra Mobile, another prepaid wireless service and wireless wholesaler Plum are all included in the deal.

Reynolds, who has a nearly 25% stake in Mint Mobile, is set to stay on in his 'creative role' for the company. The actor seemed proud of the success of the company and was amused that his mom Tammy Reynolds placed a last minute bid to have their family acquire it. “I never dreamt I'd sell [Mint Mobile] to T-Mobile,” he said. “Life is strange and I'm incredibly proud and grateful.
