Fox News reaches $12M settlement with former Tucker Carlson producer who testified in Dominion case

A lawyer for a former Fox News producer who says the network coerced her into giving false testimony in Dominion Inc.'s defamation lawsuit says her former employer is paying her $12 million to settle her legal claims NEW YORK -- Fox News will pay one of its former producer s $12 million to settle her claims that she faced a discriminatory workplace and that the network coerced her into giving false or misleading testimony in Dominion Inc.’s defamation lawsuit, her lawyer said Friday. The payout to Abby Grossberg will settle all litigation that she brought against Fox Corp., Fox News Network and her former co-workers, including former Fox host Tucker Carlson. The settlement was revealed with the filing of a “Notice of Voluntary Dismissal” in a lawsuit she had brought this year in Manhattan federal court. The judge accepted the filing and closed the case. Although the notice did not reference the terms of the settlement, Grossberg's attorney, Parisis G. Filippatos, said in an i

Fate of record tech industry tie-up headed to judge as Microsoft defends $69B Activision deal

The fate of what could be the priciest merger in tech industry history will soon be in the hands of a federal judge who must decide whether to stop Microsoft from closing its deal to buy video game company Activision Blizzard SAN FRANCISCO -- The fate of what could be the priciest merger in tech industry history will soon be in the hands of a federal judge who must decide whether to stop Microsoft from closing its deal to buy video game company Activision Blizzard. And much of the decision could rest on a single Activision blockbuster franchise, the military commando game Call of Duty, and whether Microsoft could harm competition by owning it. “All of this is for a shooter video game," said U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley, expressing a hint of exasperation near the end of a 5-day San Francisco court hearing Thursday. "We're concerned about the competition for this one shooter video game.” Federal antitrust enforcers have sued to block the $69 billion acquisiti

As Greece's center-right heads for a landslide, fringe parties jostle to squeeze into Parliament

Up to five small far-right and far-left parties may cross the 3% parliamentary entry threshold in Greece's repeat election on Sunday ATHENS, Greece -- With the formerly ascendant, Nazi-inspired Golden Dawn party broken, its leadership in prison, and the anti-Western left defanged, Greece’s political fringe s are looking more gauche than sinister. Still, up to five small parties — three on the far right and two on the far left — could conceivably reach the 3% support needed to enter Parliament in Sunday's repeat elections, despite a swing back to mainstream politicians as the scars of Greece’s 10-year financial crisis gradually heal. That would increase the parties in Parliament from five to a maximum nine, sapping the majority of the c enter -right New Democracy, or ND, which is expected to retain its 20-percentage-point lead from a first vote last month but wants an absolute majority to avoid the need to form a coalition. If ND finds it can't govern alone, it could seek

Quartararo “not confident” Yamaha can make 2024 MotoGP step

Image
Yamaha still has only one podium to its credit in 2023 courtesy of a third for Quartararo in the Americas Grand Prix in April, while the Frenchman is its top runner in the standings in ninth – 86 points off the lead. Quartararo has previously complained this year about Yamaha making little progress with its M1 in the four years he has been with the Japanese marque. When asked about Yamaha starting work on its 2024 bike, Quartararo said: “I mean, it’s a lot of years that we are waiting for something big, a big change, so hopefully they can really provide us a really, really good bike for next year. “But of course, I’m not confident [based on] the last years’ evolution. “It’s difficult to be confident when you are fighting for these positions. In the pre-season they worked hard, but we could not find any improvement. “So, you know that they work hard but you don’t know if you’re going to reach an improvement. “They work hard and this is the most important thing, but hopeful

Man City's 2023/24 Champions League pot & potential group stage opponents

For the first time in their G4OZdX C1 tPSW, Manchester City will go into a Champions League campaign as the holders. After a few years as the consistently defeated 'team to beat', the Cityzens finally got their hands on the trophy in 2022/23 alongside a Premier League title and the FA Cup, meaning they equalled Manchester United's treble achievement. Arguably the most impressive thing about Man City's journey to Champions League glory in 2022/23 is that they never really looked in any trouble. They had a slight wobble in the first leg against RB Leipzig in the last 16 before emphatically progressing. City then cruised past Bayern Munich and Real Madrid before beating Inter in a final which, while very tight, was only ever going to end in one result. Winning the Champions League is really hard, but defending it is even harder. Here are some of the teams City could be facing straight from the off. What 2023/24 Champions League pot are Man City in?
