More clashes and tensions at anti-government protests in Serbia as president pledges crackdownNew Foto - More clashes and tensions at anti-government protests in Serbia as president pledges crackdown

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Thousands ofanti-government protesters marched again in Serbiaon Monday with baton-wielding riot police chasing them in downtown Belgrade, prompting Serbia's populistPresident Aleksandar Vucicto reiterate his pledge of a planned major crackdown against the demonstrators. The protest in the country's capital was peaceful until a group of young people, believed to be soccer hooligans, split from the crowd and hurled rocks at ruling party's downtown offices, breaking front windows. The riot police soon appeared at the scene on armored trucks, dispersing the crowd and triggering a panicky escape by the crowd. In a show of defiance,Vucic showed up at his party's damaged office, calling the protesters terrorists and saying that "soon, the citizens will be freed from this terror and evil." Vucic on Sunday announced tough measures against anti-government protesters following days ofriots in the streets throughout Serbiathat have challenged his increasingly autocratic rule in the Balkan country. On Monday, he reiterated his claims that months of persistent protests against his rule have been orchestrated in the West and aimed at destroying Serbia. "Our country is in grave danger, they have jeopardized all our values, normal life, each individual," Vucic said. The stern warnings came after days of clashes between the protesters on one side and police and Vucic's loyalists on the other. Angry protesters on Saturday eveningtorched Vucic's governing Serbian Progressive Party officesin a town in western Serbia. Vucic did not specify what the state response would be in the coming days. Scores of people have already been detained and injured in the past days while police have faced accusations ofexcessive force and arbitrary detentionsof protesters. The clashes last week marked a major escalation of violence following more than nine months of largely peaceful demonstrations that started after aconcrete canopy collapsed at a train stationin Serbia's north, killing 16 people. Many in Serbia blamed the tragedy on alleged widespread corruption in state-run infrastructure projects. Vucic has faced accusations ofstifling democratic freedomswhile allowing organized crime and corruption to flourish, which he denies. Serbia is formally seeking European Union membership, but Vucic has maintained strong ties with both Russia and China.

Judges approve Trump's pick as interim US Attorney in ManhattanNew Foto - Judges approve Trump's pick as interim US Attorney in Manhattan

A federal court appointed Jay Clayton, President Donald Trump's choice for US attorney for the Southern District of New York, to serve in that position as his interim term was set to expire, making him the president's first significant US attorney appointment that has gone unchallenged. Judges in SDNY appointed Clayton on Monday to serve as US attorney effective August 20, the court announced Monday. Clayton, a former corporate attorney and the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission during Trump's first term, has never been a prosecutor. Unlike some of Trump's picks for other US attorney positions, Clayton has not made controversial charging decisions that have been criticized as being politically motivated. The appointment by the judges marks a reversal at a time when Trump's been unable to get US attorneys in place during his second term. Senators have blocked most of Trump's nominations to US attorney positions, including Clayton. Trump has put in place interim US attorneys across the country, but those terms are expiring and some have met resistance by federal judges, who are allowed by law to appoint a US attorney after an interim's term expired. In New Jersey, district judges rejected Trump's interim US attorney Alina Habba and selected another attorney for the position, who Trump then fired.Habba's appointment has been challengedin two court cases. In the Northern District of New York, the district court judges declined to exercise their authority to appoint a US attorney. Trump's choice,John Sarcone III, nowserves as the acting US attorneythere. It's not the first time the judges have appointed a US attorney for SDNY. Geoff Berman, who served as US attorney in Manhattan in Trump's first term, was also never confirmed by the Senate but was appointed by the district court judges. He was later replaced by the Trump administration. For more CNN news and newsletters create an account atCNN.com

Helen Mirren is a 'feminist' but insists James Bond 'has to be a guy'New Foto - Helen Mirren is a 'feminist' but insists James Bond 'has to be a guy'

Sorry, ladies, there's one jobHelen Mirrenthinks you needn't fill. The renowned British actressrevealed in a recent interview that she doesn't think a woman could playJames Bond. The fictional spy, who has been played over decades by a rotating cast of A-listers includingDaniel Craigand Pierce Brosnan, has yet to be embodied by a woman. Mirren, 80, thinks that's as it should be, telling Saga Magazine,in an interview published Aug. 18, that "James Bond has to be a guy." Mirren,who is herself playing a detective in the upcoming film "Thursday Murder Club" (in theaters Aug. 28), was interviewed alongside Brosnan, who also appears in the movie. Daniel Craig got a 007 sendoff likeno other. How Sean Connery, Roger Moore said goodbye to Bond "I'm such a feminist, but James Bond has to be a guy. You can't have a woman. It just doesn't work," she said. "James Bond has to be James Bond, otherwise it becomes something else." Mirren did add that her latest character, a retired spy named Elizabeth, was a true representation of women who populated the world of espionage. "So many women have worked in that world. She's a manifestation of a reality, that's for sure," she told the outlet, adding that her portrayal is probably more true to life thanthe theatrics of 007. "More realistic. But not so much fun as Bond!" she quipped. This isnot Mirren's first timewading into the Bond world. Ina March interview with the Standard, the actress urged the writing of more movies about real-life women spies in place of a female 007. Helen Mirren curses atstreaming giant: 'I love Netflix, but (expletive) Netflix' "The whole concept of James Bond is drenched and born out of profound sexism," she told the outlet. "Women have always been a major and incredibly important part of the Secret Service, they always have been. And very brave. If you hear about what women did in the French Resistance, they're amazingly, unbelievably courageous. So I would tell real stories about extraordinary women who've worked in that world." Mirren's comments come amid questions of who will playBond next after Craig retiredfrom the role in 2021's "No Time to Die." In the past, Bond producer Barbara Broccoli has ruled out the possibility of a woman succeeding Craig in the role. But in February, Broccoli and her producing partner Michael G. Wilsonstepped back from the franchiseand handed creative control to Amazon, leaving it unclear what the casting criteria will be under the new leadership.

Tracee Ellis Ross Explains How Barack Obama "Failed" His "One Job" as a Friend

Getty Images Tracee Ellis Ross joked that former President Barack Obama "failed as a friend" when he didn't warn her about a man she was dating. "Like, it was your job to say that before, you know what I mean?" she told Jimmy Kimmel. Ross is a long-time friend of Barack and his wife Michelle Obama. ActressTracee Ellis Rosshas her fair share of impressive famous friends—but apparently, that doesn't make her any less susceptible to bad dates. In fact, in a recent interview, she explained how one of her most intuitive, influential friends actually "failed" to stop her from beginning a doomed relationship. Which friend was that, you might ask? None other than former PresidentBarack Obama. "I broke up with someone, and I remember running into the former president and he was like, 'I could have told you that,'" Ross recalled during an August 14 appearance onJimmy Kimmel Live. "And I was like, 'Well, you failed as a friend!' Like, it was your job to say that before, you know what I mean?" she continued, explaining that she always prefers her friends to speak up when they see things in her romantic relationships that she might miss. "Like, nip it in the bud." Getty Later during the talk show appearance, Ross revealed that there might be some ways the former first family could help her with her dating life. "I've never asked Michelle [Obama] to set me up, which I think perhaps is dumb and I need to get on that," she said. Getty Ross and the Obamas are long-time friends. Back in 2022, Michelle made a cameo on Ross's showBlack-ish.At the time, Ross explained to Jimmy Fallon that despite their friendship, she still tried to keep things respectful. "I was raised in the generation where your teachers and your friends' parents are Mr and Mrs. So, in public she's Mrs Obama, former First Lady," she said. "There's no question. I was calling her that also as my friend." Apparently, she even kept up the formality when Michelle asked her to call her by her first name. Michelle and Ross have appeared together at several events, appearing on stage together at The United State Of Women Summit in 2018 and Michelle's book tour the same year. Getty This April, Ross was also a guest on Michelle's podcast "IMO." During that conversation, Ross revealed thatshe only dates younger menbecause "a lot of men my age are steeped in a toxic masculinity and have been raised in a culture where there is a particular way that a relationship looks," as she put it on the show. "Anything that starts to smell of that for me—I did enough of it where I was controlled and felt like I was a possession or a prize." Read the original article onInStyle

'Ketamine Queen' accused of selling fatal dose to Matthew Perry agrees to plead guiltyNew Foto - 'Ketamine Queen' accused of selling fatal dose to Matthew Perry agrees to plead guilty

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A woman known as the "Ketamine Queen," charged with sellingMatthew Perrythe drug that killed him, agreed to plead guilty Monday. Jasveen Sangha becomes the fifth and final defendant charged in theoverdose death of the "Friends" starto strike a plea agreement with federal prosecutors, avoiding a trial that had been planned for September. She agreed in a signed statement filed in court to plead guilty to five federal criminal charges, including providing the ketamine that led to Perry's death. In a brief statement, Sangha's lawyer Mark Geragos said only, "She's taking responsibility for her actions." Prosecutors had cast Sangha, a 42-year-old citizen of the U.S. and the U.K., as a prolific drug dealer who was known to her customers as the "Ketamine Queen," using the term often in press releases and court documents. She agreed to plead guilty to one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of distribution of ketamine, and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury. The final plea deal came a year after federal prosecutors announced that five people had been charged in Perry's Oct. 28, 2023 death after a sweeping investigation. Sangha admitted in the agreement to selling four vials of ketamine to another man, Cody McLaury, hours before he died from an overdose in 2019. McLaury had no relationship to Perry. Prosecutors will drop three other counts related to the distribution of ketamine, and one count of distribution of methamphetamine that was unrelated to the Perry case. Sangha will officially change her plea to guilty at an upcoming hearing, where sentencing will be scheduled, prosecutors said. She could get up to 45 years in prison. The judge is not bound to follow any terms of the plea agreement, but prosecutors said in the document that they will ask for less than the maximum. She andDr. Salvador Plasencia, who pleaded guilty last month, had been the primary targets of the investigation. Three other defendants — Dr. Mark Chavez, Kenneth Iwamasa and Erik Fleming —pleaded guilty in exchange for their cooperation,which included statements implicating Sangha and Plasencia. Perry was found dead in his Los Angeles home by Iwamasa, his assistant. The medical examinerruled that ketamine,typically used as a surgical anesthetic, was the primary cause of death. Sangha presented a posh lifestyle on Instagram, with photos of herself with the rich and famous in cities around the globe. Prosecutors said she privately presented herself as a dealer who sold to the same kind of high-class customers. Perry had been using ketamine through his regular doctor as a legal, but off-label, treatment for depression, which has become increasingly common. Perry, 54, sought more ketamine than his doctor would give him. He began getting it from Plasencia about a month before his death, then started getting still more from Sangha about two weeks before his death, prosecutors said. Perry and Iwamasa found Sangha through Perry's friend Fleming. In their plea agreements, both men described the subsequent deals in detail. Fleming messaged Iwamasa saying Sangha's ketamine was "unmarked but it's amazing," according to court documents. Fleming texted Iwamasa that she only deals "with high end and celebs. If it were not great stuff she'd lose her business." With the two men acting as middlemen, Perry bought large amounts of ketamine from Sangha, including 25 vials for $6,000 in cash four days before his death. That purchase included the doses that killed Perry, prosecutors said. On the day of Perry's death, Sangha told Fleming they should delete all the messages they had sent each other, according to her indictment. Her home in North Hollywood, California, was raided in March 2024 by Drug Enforcement Administration agents who found large amounts of methamphetamines and ketamine, according to an affidavit from an agent. She has been held in federal custody for about a year. None of the defendants has yet been sentenced. Sangha also agreed in her plea deal not to contest the seizure of her property that went with the investigation, including more than $5,000 in cash. Perrystruggled with addictionfor years, dating back to his time on "Friends," when he became one of the biggest stars of his generation as Chandler Bing. Hestarred alongsideJennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004 onNBC's megahit series.
