Stephen Colbert escalates dispute with CBS over Talarico interview ban CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert shot back at his network Tuesday over its handling of his interview with Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico of Texas.
Longtime WFXT-TV (Channel 25) chief meteorologist Kevin Lemanowicz is stepping down from his role at the end of the month, the station announced Wednesday. Lemanowicz began at Boston 25 when it launched in 1996, and he has been the station’s chief meteorologist ever since.
A board member of superannuation giant CBUS has resigned and a director is under internal review after separate allegations they have engaged in inappropriate relationships. One of the CFMEU’s representatives on the CBUS board, legal officer Lucy Weber, stepped down on Thursday after this masthead revealed she had a secret relationship with her CFMEU boss, Zach Smith. Smith was the CFMEU’s national secretary when it appointed Weber to the superannuation giant’s board in November 2024. While CFMEU administrator Mark Irving, KC, had ultimate oversight over Weber’s appointment and it is not clear whether Smith had a role in that process, Smith was among the most influential union leaders at the time.

A Highland doctor was sentenced to just over eight years Wednesday for bilking nearly $22 million from the U.S. government for non-existent sinus procedures. Bethany Cataldi, 54, of Chesterton, pleaded guilty in July to healthcare fraud. U.S. District Judge Gretchen Lund sentenced her to 97 months in prison. She faced up to 10 years. Her lawyer, Jonathan Meltz, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. As part of the plea deal, Cataldi will have one year of supervised release after prison and repay $19.1 million in restitution. Court records allege the Center for Otolaryngology and Facial Plastic Surgery scheduled fake surgeries from March 2015 to December 2023. At least eight patients confirmed to investigators that their operations never happened.
La Rosa looks horrified: she has spent about $2 million on a duplex build in Avondale Heights in Melbourne’s north-west, but is unable to move into her dream home until the faults are fixed.

Mining giant Rio Tinto is relying on its huge Oyu Tolgoi copper mine in Mongolia to satisfy growing global demand for copper, a key commodity in electrification, renewable energy, and the AI digital infrastructure boom, as it ramps up its search for other sources of the red metal. Rio Tinto chief executive Simon Trott said the company was on track to achieve 3 per cent growth in copper production each year to 2030. Mongolia’s government, a joint owner of the mine, last year made an unproven claim of corruption against the dual Australian and London-listed miner in the British High Court and, in a separate matter, the pair were in arbitration over a long-standing tax dispute. The breakdown in $300 billion merger talks between Rio and resources giant Glencore earlier this month to create a mining powerhouse will also weigh on Rio’s copper aims.

A Sydney man has been charged with possessing extremist material after an investigation by counter-terrorism police into phones seized during a vehicle stop on New Year’s Eve. Three mobile phones were seized, along with drugs and cash, after police stopped a Toyota sedan on Dargan Street, Yagoona on New Year’s Eve. Abdallah El Chami was charged with drug supply, proceeds of crime and vehicle offences at the time of his initial arrest, and was granted bail on New Year’s Day. However, violent extremist material was allegedly later found on one of the phones after they were forensically examined, and the 31-year-old was arrested again on Wednesday morning under a commonwealth warrant executed at a Bass Hill home. He was granted bail at Bankstown Local Court on Wednesday, with conditions including that he report to police three times a week and abstain from alcohol and drugs unless prescribed.
TMZ receives another Nancy Guthrie ransom note, FBI contacts Mexican cops Another ransom note demanding $6 million in cryptocurrency in exchange for the safe return of Nancy Guthrie was sent to TMZ on Wednesday. This note, the latest in a series, demanded the money in a cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin, which the previous notes had requested, according to the outlet. The latest ransom note includes “a highly sophisticated demand” and “graphically describes the consequences if the ransom isn’t paid,” TMZ reported. The outlet said it forwarded the information to the FBI and would not release additional details. FBI sources also told TMZ they had informed Mexican authorities about Guthrie’s kidnapping and asked them to keep an eye out for the missing 84-year-old mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie. Nancy Guthrie’s home in Tucson, Ariz., is about 75 miles north of the Mexican border. The feds do not believe she was taken to Mexico in the immediate aftermath of the abduction. Guthrie was last seen on Jan. 31. However, she could have been transported through the border at any time during the 18-day search. TMZ has become increasingly involved in the case, with another man writing to the outlet claiming to have information about the kidnappers and requesting money in Bitcoin in exchange for the details. The man’s latest note, sent to TMZ on Monday, read in part, “I know what I saw 5 days ago south of the border and I was told to shut up so I know who he is and that was definitely Nancy with them.” However, Mexican authorities did not report any leads in the case. No suspects have been identified in the investigation; police said they have ruled out all Guthrie’s immediate family members as suspects. Savannah Guthrie’s “Today” show colleagues showed their support on Wednesday’s broadcast by donning yellow ribbons and placing yellow flowers throughout the studio at Rockefeller Center. “So many people are placing yellow flowers near Nancy’s home and all across the city [of Tucson],” Hoda Kotb explained. “We got a suggestion from one of our viewers here, we’re doing the same here.” She continued: “Yellow roses around Studio 1A, and we’re all wearing ribbons as we send our love to Savannah and her family.” “This is our missing mom,” Carson Daly told viewers. “And this is a nice symbol.” Kotb, Daly, Craig Melvin, Jenna Bush Hager, Sheinelle Jones and Al Roker all wore the ribbons during the morning show. “We all feel like we love them. We’ve taken them in as our own and my heart breaks,” local resident Lynne McCane told the show. “Everyone feels like they are going through it with her. We are with her.” The best lead so far in the case remains security recordings from Nancy Guthrie’s home, which show a man in a ski mask walking through the residence in the early morning hours of Feb. 1. The FBI Phoenix office has described this person as “a male, approximately 5’9 – 5’10, with an average build.” He is also wearing a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack in the security video. Investigators believe the suspect purchased the backpack at Walmart and have been working with the retailer. They also attempted to identify the captor through DNA found on black gloves near the scene and based on the weapon holster he apparently purchased but have had no luck so far.

Sometimes there is an obvious explanation and sometimes there isn't. Learn to love yourself and understand yourself really. I take a long time trying to understand my emotions and why I feel like I do. And I think that is a really important process to just do every now and again to just check in with yourself and what kind of why are you feeling like you do.

Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine’s ambassador to the United Kingdom and former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, has publicly described an alleged 2022 incident in which officers from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) entered a temporary military command facility linked to him in Kyiv. The account was given in an interview with the Associated Press and comes amid long-standing reports of strained relations between Zaluzhnyi and President Volodymyr Zelensky during the early phases of Russia’s full-scale invasion. Zaluzhnyi said the officers did not clarify the purpose of their actions and that he refused to grant access to documents or computer systems.
He also stated that more than a dozen British officers were present at the site at the time. Zaluzhnyi characterized the episode as intimidation and said it risked exposing internal divisions at a critical moment for national unity. During the incident, he contacted Andrii Yermak, who was then head of the President’s Office, warning that he was prepared to deploy military forces to prevent the search and protect the command center. He also called Vasyl Maliuk, who led the SBU at the time. According to Zaluzhnyi, Maliuk said he was unaware of the operation and promised to look into the matter.

Detectives believe Utai was targeted because of Iziah’s alleged links to the Coconut Cartel, which police sources say has been attempting to wrest control of Sydney’s lucrative drug trade from the fractured Alameddine network since late last year.
Iziah was described in court documents in 2023 as an Alameddine associate after being charged with gun and drug offences, which he was later convicted of. However, videos, images and messages circulated within Sydney’s underworld on Wednesday suggest Iziah has aligned himself with the Alameddine network’s new rivals. Detectives believe Iziah is currently overseas.

Nancy Guthrie joins her family for dinner and game night Saturday evening, Ubering to her older daughter Annie’s nearby home around 5:32 p.m. Hours later, her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, drove her home. Guthrie’s garage door opens at approximately 9:48 p.m. and closes at 9:50 p.m. Guthrie’s doorbell camera is disconnected at 1:47 a.m. and about 25 minutes later, surveillance camera software detects movement. At 2:28 a.m., data from Guthrie’s pacemaker app shows the device was disconnected from her phone. More than nine hours later, at 11:56 a.m., the family realizes she’s missing when checking on her at home. Relatives call 911 at 12:03 p.m. to report her missing, and Pima County Sheriff’s Department patrols arrive by 12:15 p.m....receive purported ransom letters demanding millions of dollars in bitcoin for her return. One note includes a first deadline of 5 p.m. Thursday, February 5, and a second deadline for Monday, February 9. CNN affiliate KOLD receives a new purported ransom note on Day 6 of the search. CNN affiliate KGUN, which received the first ransom note sent to some media stations, reports new details from the letter: The purported abductor demanded $6 million and threatened Guthrie’s life if the 5 p.m. Monday, February 9, deadline isn’t met. The suspect is described as male, approximately 5’9” - 5’10” tall and having an average build. The backpack he was wearing in the video is identified as a black, 25-liter “Ozark Trail Hiker Pack.”
The $10 holster has also been tentatively identified as another Walmart product, a large-sized Strategy branded hip holster designed for a revolver, according to a Miami-area police officer who is not connected to the case. The weapon, however, appears to be a small semiautomatic pistol, the officer said. Authorities deployed a high-tech Bluetooth scanning device by air in search of the signal from Guthrie's pacemaker. The search was unsuccessful.

Savannah Clark Guthrie (b. 1971) is an American broadcast journalist and attorney. She is a main co-anchor of the NBC News morning show Today, a position she has held since July 2012.

Acting on a federal court-ordered warrant in connection with the Guthrie case, sheriff’s deputies and FBI agents on Friday night searched another residence in an affluent neighbourhood less than three kilometres from her home, authorities confirmed over the weekend. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said on Friday he was certain the person in the video, who was also wearing a gun in a holster and an over-stuffed backpack, was the primary suspect investigators were looking for to solve the high-profile case. Nancy Guthrie was last seen on January 31 when family dropped her off at her home near Tucson after she had dined with them, and relatives reported her missing the following day, authorities have said. The glove is one of roughly 16 collected by investigators in recent days in a roadside field about two miles from the Tucson-area residence of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, mother of US television journalist Savannah Guthrie. Most of the gloves recovered by investigators turned out to have been dropped by searchers in the vicinity, the FBI said. Traces of blood found on her front porch were confirmed by DNA tests to have come from Guthrie, officials said last week. Law enforcement and family members have described her as being in frail health and in need of daily medication to survive. She also had a pacemaker. Tucson: Investigators have obtained a DNA sample from a glove that was found near Nancy Guthrie’s Arizona home and appears to match the pair worn by a masked prowler seen in doorbell camera footage before she was abducted two weeks ago, the FBI says. Results from the glove could potentially lead to what forensic experts call a “hit” within 24 hours of a national database search on the DNA specimen, the FBI indicated in a statement. The preliminary findings from a private crime laboratory in Florida were received by the FBI on Saturday and were awaiting “quality control and official confirmation” before the results would be submitted for comparison with known DNA profiles taken from individuals and crime scenes and stored in the national database, the FBI said in a statement. On Thursday, the FBI called the person a suspect. It described him as a man about 5 feet, 9 inches tall with a medium build. The agency said he was carrying a 25-liter “Ozark Trail Hiker Pack” backpack. Late Friday night, law enforcement agents sealed off a road about two miles (3.2 kilometers) from Guthrie’s home as part of their investigation. A series of sheriff’s and FBI vehicles, including forensics vehicles, passed through the roadblock. The investigators also tagged and towed a Range Rover SUV from a nearby restaurant parking lot late Friday. The sheriff’s department later said the activity was part of the Guthrie investigation but no arrests were made. On Tuesday, sheriff deputies detained a person for questioning during a traffic stop south of Tucson. Authorities didn’t say what led them to stop the man but confirmed he was released. The same day, deputies and FBI agents conducted a court-authorized search in Rio Rico, about an hour’s drive south of the city. The development comes as law enforcement gathers more potential evidence as the search for Guthrie’s mother heads into its third week. Authorities say her blood was found on the front porch. Purported ransom notes were sent to news outlets, but two deadlines for paying have passed. She is said to have a pacemaker and has dealt with high blood pressure and heart issues, according to sheriff’s dispatcher audio on Broadcastify.com. News outlets on Saturday showed video of Pima County sheriff’s officials and the FBI searching a Range Rover in the parking lot of a Culver’s restaurant in Tucson a few miles from Guthrie’s home. Despite searches of local homes in recent days, there were no suspects in custody, according to news reports. ..was reported missing from her home in Catalina Foothills, Arizona...
