Critics are slamming Norway over new legislation that they say singles out Jews. The proposed law could send individuals to prison for up to three years for knowingly conducting certain forms of business with Israeli communities in the West Bank.
The proposal, introduced by Norway's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, would prohibit the importation of goods originating in Israeli communities in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem and the exportation of goods to those communities. It would also restrict certain real estate transactions, construction and engineering services and investments in businesses headquartered and operating there.
Intentional violations could result in fines, imprisonment for up to three years or both, while negligent violations could carry fines, imprisonment for up to six months or both, according to Section 7 of the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs' official consultation document.

Iowa wrestler Jordan Williams has been charged with operating while under the influence, according to Johnson County court records.
This is Williams' second OWI charge, according to court documents, with the first coming in Payne County, Oklahoma, in August 2023.
The incident occurred Sept. 7. According to a police affidavit, an officer approached a vehicle that had been running with its lights on for "at least" two hours in a parking lot/garage at 180 E. Burlington St. in Iowa City. The officer found Williams unconscious with an open container of alcohol in his lap.
The police affidavit states that after Williams woke up, the officer observed an alcohol smell, slurred speech and bloodshot eyes, as well as Williams showing impairment in standardized field sobriety tests. Williams refused a preliminary breath test, according to the police affidavit.
This is Williams' second off-the-mat incident since committing to Iowa in 2025. On June 14, 2025, while Williams was publicly committed to Iowa but not yet signed, he was involved in an incident at ReUnion Brewery in Iowa City. He and his attorney later agreed to an amended plea of a simple misdemeanor charge for disorderly conduct.

A Bahamian national who arrived in the U.S. during President Gerald Ford's administration and was living with a green card racked up a violent rap sheet before investigators found he voted illegally in the 2020 election, sparking the deportation process, officials say.
The case of Anthony Tyrone Higgs is only the latest in a slew of arrests connected to illegal votes cast in recent elections, as the Trump administration engages in a broader crackdown on election integrity-related crimes.
"This alien was a guest in our country who forfeited his right to be in the U.S. when he committed these violent crimes and voted in the 2020 election," White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis exclusively told Fox News Digital on Friday.

After a promising start with two wins, RB Leipzig have suffered back-to-back defeats to Werder Bremen and Como, sparking significant criticism in the press and on social media.
RB Leipzig managing director for sport Marcel Schäfer has now shared his thoughts on the situation, acknowledging that the team's recent performances have fallen well below expectations.
"We have, of course, seen what has been said about the club in the press and on social media over the past few days. We are highly ambitious, but we are also critical of ourselves. The last two results have not been good enough. We know that, and we are not going to sugar-coat it. We are addressing the situation very clearly internally," Schäfer said in a statement released by RB Leipzig on Friday night.
Despite the recent setbacks, Schäfer was keen to underline the club's full support for new head coach Martin Demichelis and his squad, stressing that, given the significant changes made at the club over the summer, it's only natural that the team will need time to fully gel.
"At the same time, we are staying calm and focused, and we are united as a club. That applies to everyone who works here, the players and the entire coaching staff. They all have our full support and trust," he said.

NEW YORK, Sept 10 (Reuters) - As U.S. President Donald Trump pressures institutions he views as adversaries, JPMorgan Chase and Capital One are fighting back. It is a strategy that legal experts and industry sources say may carry fewer risks than giving in.
Trump and his businesses are suing the banks, alleging they closed his accounts in 2021 for political reasons. They deny ‌the claims. Capital One told a federal court in July that it closed Trump's accounts following an internal anti-money-laundering review, sparking renewed scrutiny including from a senior Democratic senator who last week pressed the bank ‌for more details.
Capital One has not accused Trump or his businesses of money-laundering. Spokespeople for both banks declined to comment. The Trump Organization last week called the anti-money-laundering review a pretext to conceal a politically motivated decision.
While several legal experts said the banks have strong defenses, fighting Trump poses risks for the banks by potentially deepening animus with the president and airing confidential internal deliberations in public.

This week's ETF Zoo crew takes a lay of the land as summer comes to a close and some new and interesting developments crop up. ETF.com hosts Dave Nadig, President & Director of Research, and Sumit Roy, Senior ETF ****** yst, are joined in this episode by Cinthia Murphy, Director of Research at TMX VettaFi, and James Seyffart, CFA, CAIA, Senior Research ****** yst at Bloomberg Intelligence. Together the group talks about some of the big M&A announcements lately, dig into the AI chokepoint perspective, and more.
You can view this episode here or on our YouTube channel or listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
M&A land grab in full swing. Billions in ETF acquisitions, including Victory Capital/First Eagle, Vanguard/Altruist, and more, signal that scale instead of organic growth now drives the industry. The Zoo crew debated whether firms are buying hit products, talent, or distribution, and what could be ahead for the industry.
Leverage and gambling push into new territory. Defiance's hourly-reset leveraged ETFs barely differ from daily resets despite pulling in huge fees, while Korea and ****** an crack down on single-stock leverage entirely. New NHL-linked sports-betting ETFs raised bigger concerns about routing gambling risk through the same rails as retirement savings.
AI concentration is everywhere, even where you don't expect it. Thematic and datacenter ETFs quietly hold the same chokepoint stocks like Micron and Nvidia, sparking debate over whether that's a feature or a vulnerability. However, real revenue growth at companies like Anthropic and OpenAI kept the Zoo Crew from sounding the alarm just yet.

A bombshell letter from King Charles allegedly blindsided Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The couple's sudden return to the UK last month confused many about their position in relation to the royal family. They had stepped down as senior working royals in 2020 before moving to California. The letter from King Charles clarified the Sussexes' position.
According to the Daily Mail, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were "surprised" by King Charles' letter. The letter in question allegedly clearly stated that the couple will be treated as "private citizens" and not working royals, as they were before they moved to the US in 2020.
In a statement to the media, a spokesperson for the couple said they did not have prior knowledge of the letter. The spokesperson said, "We were a little surprised not to have been told about this in advance," adding that the letter's publication caught the Sussexes off guard.
However, sources from the palace told the Daily Mail that the claim was "incorrect." The insiders noted Harry and Meghan had received the letter beforehand. They clarified that there had been no discussion between the Sussexes and the palace regarding the contents of the letter before its public release.
The Daily Mail noted that Harry and Meghan are allegedly concerned that the timing of the King's letter. The release coincides with an upcoming meeting about their security arrangements. Reportedly, the couple has asked for 24/7 armed police protection for themselves and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The children started school earlier this month, sparking concerns about their protection.

Picking a fight with a police officer is generally a poor decision, but doing it with one who once challenged for a UFC ***** le adds another layer of bad timing. A recently surfaced bodycam video shows Coral Springs Police Officer Marlon Moraes taking a man to the ground after the man verbally challenged him during a traffic stop.
Moraes, 38, is a former UFC bantamweight ***** le challenger and World Series of Fighting bantamweight champion who has worked as a South Florida police officer since 2024. According to MMA Junkie, the incident itself happened on March 27 but only recently began circulating widely online.
In the footage, the man can be heard telling Moraes, "You can't do sh*t," as he continues to confront him in a parking lot. Moraes remains standing in front of him until the man takes a step toward the officer, at which point Moraes trips him to the pavement.
Other officers quickly move in and ***** ist with placing the man in handcuffs. The circumstances that initially led to the traffic stop, including what the man was suspected of doing beforehand, were not detailed in the information released with the viral video.
Moraes competed professionally in mixed martial arts for years before entering law enforcement, earning a reputation as one of the top bantamweights of his era. He challenged Henry Cejudo for the vacant UFC bantamweight championship in 2019 after previously holding the World Series of Fighting ***** le.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Iran state media on Monday said a ballistic missile with improved capabilities was demonstrating a new doctrine: Tehran "will take action against any threat, even before it is carried out."
The report by Iran's state news agency repeatedly cited comments aired on state TV the day before by the head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, who boasted of new missile capability and claimed it had been "tested" against a U.S. warship. But it was not clear whether what was tested was the missile the new report described, the solid-fueled Qassem Basir.
The U.S. on Saturday said ballistic missiles were launched at U.S. warships and it struck three Iranian oil tankers in response. Experts called the launch a dangerous escalation, noting that until then Iran's attacks at sea had targeted commercial shipping during six months of war. The U.S. said the warships evaded the attacks.
Iran's messaging in recent days has become more ***** ertive, and Monday's report said the Qassem Basir marks "a turning point in Iran's defense strategy." It described the missile as having greater range and accuracy and a half-ton warhead. The missile was unveiled last year, when it was described as having at least a 1,200-kilometer (745-mile) range.
Concerns about Iran's ballistic missile program were one of the stated reasons the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran early this year, sparking the war.

A controversial replay call late in the first quarter quickly became a major talking point in No. 4 Notre Dame's matchup against Wisconsin at Lambeau Field, sparking criticism from fans and ***** ysts, including former Wisconsin star J.J. Watt.
The game was tied 3-3 late in the first quarter when Wisconsin kicker Porath sent a kickoff toward Harrison Bortolotti.
The returner appeared to have a chance at securing the ball, but it sailed through his hands, bounced several times, and eventually landed in the arms of Notre Dame's Kahanu Kia.
Kia recovered the ball at the Wisconsin 13-yard line, but officials initiated a replay review to determine whether he had established possession before going out of bounds.
After reviewing the play, officials upheld the ruling on the field and gave Notre Dame possession deep inside Wisconsin territory.

Serie A side Roma picked up a dramatic 2-1 win over Atalanta on Saturday but after the tie, something chaotic ensued between the two clubs off the pitch.
La Dea had led the game for a vast majority of the second half but Roma kept pushing. They got late goals from Matias Soule and Mario Hermoso, turning the tie around in a matter of minutes.
Corriere dello Sport – via CM, report that things took an ugly turn between Giallorossi sporting director Tony D'Amico and Atalanta's CEO Luca Percassi, who worked together for the Bergamo club until last season.
Several witnesses and even Roma themselves, confirm that Percassi insulted D'Amico after the tie. The Giallorossi key figure was chased down by his compatriot in the parking lot of the Stadio Olimpico and the matter had to be calmed down by intervention of security.
Apart from the game, the two don't have a pleasant relationship anymore. Percassi wasn't happy with D'Amico's decision to push for a Roma move, even though he had already appointed Cristiano Guintoli.

A Florida woman who fatally shot a man in the parking lot of a Walmart during a confrontation over a parking ***** e won't face charges, prosecutors announced Thursday.
The Broward County State Attorney's Office said Florida's "stand your ground" law makes the shooter, who said she was acting in self-defense, immune from prosecution in connection with the June 30 shooting in North Lauderdale.
Bart Diguglielmo, 62, was shot and killed in the incident, which was captured on several videos, including from cellphones and a Tesla, according to a memo on the shooting released Thursday by the Broward County State Attorney's Office.

"There is relatively no dispute about what actually happened because the entire incident was captured by various video recording devices."

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Former Fox Sports ****** yst Mark Sanchez plans to plead guilty to charges ahead of a trial stemming from an October 2025 fight with a truck driver outside an Indianapolis hotel, according to court records filed Thursday.
A motion asks for a guilty plea and sentencing hearing for Sanchez in Marion County Superior Court. Online records didn't indicate which charges Sanchez plans to plead guilty to.
Sanchez faces a felony battery charge, along with three misdemeanor charges, for what prosecutors have said was a fight over parking.
The ex-NFL quarterback's jury trial was scheduled to start Tuesday. The trial had been rescheduled five times since it was initially set to begin in December. Sanchez and Fox Sports also face a civil lawsuit filed by the truck driver, Perry Tole.
A police affidavit alleges that Sanchez, smelling of alcohol, accosted Tole, who had backed his truck into a hotel's loading docks in downtown Indianapolis. Tole claims in his lawsuit that Sanchez entered the truck without permission, then physically blocked and shoved Tole, who then doused Sanchez with pepper spray.

Former Fox Sports ****** yst Mark Sanchez has plead guilty to charges relating to an altercation from last fall, according to Indiana court records. Sanchez, who was facing three misdemeanors and a felony battery charge, filed a motion for a guilty plea on Thursday.
In October, Sanchez was stabbed in Indianapolis after allegedly sparking an altercation with a truck driver while intoxicated. He was initially charged with three misdemeanors — battery, unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle, and public intoxication — and later charged with a felony for battery resulting in serious bodily injury.
It is unclear which of the charges Sanchez is pleading guilty to. Sanchez's attorneys are reportedly requesting that his sentencing hearing take place on Nov. 9 or Nov. 16 if his plea is accepted, per multiple reports.
Sanchez's jury trial was originally set for March 12, but it was rescheduled four different times, most recently to Sept. 8.
Sanchez, a former New York Jets quarterback-turned-analyst, was fired by Fox a month after the incident.

While standing in a private parking lot in Sussex, Wisconsin, on May 4, 2025, Napoleon Jones witnessed a traffic stop made by an out-of-county police officer. "It just didn't sit right with me," Jones told TMJ4 News, a local NBC News affiliate. "So I did what I legally could do, and I walked over and recorded it."
Jones, a United States Navy veteran, was well within his rights to record the police stop. But even though he recorded from a safe distance without interfering, that didn't stop the Waukesha County Sheriff's deputy, Brandon Shayhorn, from later unlawfully stopping and arresting Jones.
After Shayhorn completed the traffic stop, Jones returned to his vehicle. But before Jones could exit the parking lot, Shayhorn turned on his lights and initiated a second stop, claiming Jones' temporary license plate, displayed in the rearview window, was unreadable, reports TMJ4 News. Shayhorn demanded to see Jones' driver's license, but Jones refused, arguing that he'd been unlawfully pulled over on private property. Video clips of the encounter show the deputy opening Jones' door and pulling him from his vehicle.
Jones was subsequently arrested "for resisting and obstructing," according to a federal lawsuit he filed against the arresting officers and police department. But after being held in custody for five hours, he was released with no citations or criminal charges. An internal post-arrest memorandum reviewed by Reason revealed that Shayhorn's supervisor informed him shortly after the arrest that he'd, in fact, illegally stopped Jones, and he therefore could not compel Jones to produce his identification.
The next day, Jones filed a citizen's complaint against Shayhorn for the illegal stop and said he believed Shayhorn retaliated against him for exercising his First Amendment right to record. Jones then sought legal counsel to pursue claims against the arresting officers and the police department for his unlawful stop, detention, and arrest.

Henry had just shoplifted and was driving a stolen car when she collided with Diakite in October 2025 at a Kroger parking lot in Westerville.
The incident escalated, authorities said, when Henry fled in her vehicle.

By Jonathan Stempel
Aug 31 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge said the former parent of Silicon Valley Bank cannot pursue a $1.71 billion claim against the FDIC stemming from ‌the bank's March 2023 collapse, one of the largest U.S. bank failures.
In a ‌206-page decision on Friday, U.S. District Judge Beth Labson Freeman in San Jose, California, held that a trust that took over the parent's claims was responsible for former executives' ill-fated decisions to try boosting profit by investing heavily in long-term government bonds and mortgage-backed securities.
Silicon Valley Bank collapsed after rising interest rates caused at least $4.52 billion of losses in the bank's investment portfolio, sparking a bank run that ‌disrupted many technology startups whose deposits ⁠it held.
Most of the bank's deposits were uninsured. The bank's demise presaged the collapses of two other large lenders in 2023, Signature Bank and ⁠First Republic Bank.
