  • ABC News agrees to pay $15m to resolve Trump defamation suit

    ABC News agrees to pay $15m to resolve Trump defamation suit

    Canada Global (Web News) ABC News has agreed to pay $15 million to settle a defamation lawsuit launched by President-elect Donald Trump over a false assertion made by the network’s anchor.

    The case arose from host George Stephanopoulos’ on-air claims that Trump had been “found liable for raping” writer E Jean Carroll.

    According to paperwork filed on Saturday, the network and presenter both agreed to publicly apologise for the statements made during a live This Week discussion with Representative Nancy Mace.

    The deal requires ABC News to provide $15 million to a fund dedicated to “a presidential foundation and museum” for Trump. The broadcaster will pay an extra $1 million in legal expenses, according to the records.

    In a high-profile legal settlement that underscores the tension between media accountability and political reputation, ABC News has agreed to pay $15 million to resolve a defamation lawsuit brought by former President Donald Trump.

    The agreement, finalized this week, stems from a widely criticized on-air segment in which an ABC News anchor made inaccurate statements regarding a past sexual abuse allegation involving Trump. The segment, which aired during primetime in late 2024, suggested legal conclusions that were not supported by the facts of the case, prompting Trump and his legal team to take swift legal action.

    Background of the Lawsuit

    Trump filed the defamation suit in early 2025, alleging that the anchor’s remarks were “false, malicious, and defamatory,” and caused “serious damage” to his public image. The lawsuit claimed that ABC News failed to adhere to basic journalistic standards by allowing an anchor to imply Trump had been criminally convicted, when in fact, no such conviction existed.

    Legal experts noted the lawsuit was unusually aggressive, even for Trump, who has frequently clashed with the media throughout his career. However, the strength of the evidence—including transcripts, video clips, and internal communications—reportedly put ABC in a legally vulnerable position.

    Terms of the Settlement

    As part of the settlement agreement, ABC News will pay $15 million to Trump. While the network did not formally admit fault or issue a public apology, insiders confirmed that editorial policies and review processes within the organization are being reexamined.

    In a brief statement, an ABC spokesperson said:

    “While we stand by the integrity of our journalism, we recognize the importance of resolving this matter and moving forward. This settlement allows us to do just that.”

    Trump’s legal team celebrated the settlement as a victory for truth and accountability in media.

    “This outcome sends a strong message that no one, not even major media corporations, is above the law,” said Trump attorney Alina Habba. “False reporting has real-world consequences, especially when it involves high-profile figures and sensitive allegations.”

    Media and Political Impact

    The $15 million settlement is among the largest publicly known defamation resolutions involving a media organization and a political figure. It follows a series of other high-profile defamation cases in recent years, including Dominion Voting Systems’ $787.5 million settlement with Fox News in 2023.

    The case has reignited debate over the responsibility of news organizations in an era of fast-paced reporting and political polarization. Critics argue that sensationalism and speculation too often replace careful fact-checking in modern journalism. Others caution against powerful political figures using defamation lawsuits to chill free speech and press freedom.

    “This settlement shows how delicate the balance is between holding the powerful accountable and protecting the integrity of the press,” said media law expert Jonathan Peters. “It also reflects a broader reckoning within the industry about accuracy, fairness, and the high stakes of getting it wrong.”

    Trump’s Reaction

    Never one to shy away from public commentary, Trump posted on Truth Social shortly after the settlement was announced:

    “ABC LIED, and now they’re PAYING THE PRICE. This is what happens when you spread fake news about Trump. The TRUTH matters, and we WON!”

    The former president, who continues to hint at a possible run in 2028, is expected to leverage the victory as proof of media bias and political persecution—key themes of his ongoing political narrative.

    What Comes Next

    While the financial aspect of the case has been resolved, industry insiders believe the ripple effects will be long-lasting. Newsrooms across the country may now face increased pressure to tighten editorial oversight and legal review processes, especially when reporting on controversial figures or sensitive legal matters.

    The case also serves as a reminder of the legal exposure media companies can face in the high-stakes world of political journalism. As the 2026 midterms approach and speculation builds around the 2028 presidential race, the media’s every word is likely to be scrutinized more than ever.

  • BJP returns to power in New Delhi after 27 years

    BJP returns to power in New Delhi after 27 years

    Canada Global (Web News) Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated his party’s victory in Delhi’s local elections, declaring that “development has won.” The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) reclaimed control of the capital’s legislature for the first time since 1998, marking a major political shift.

    Modi assured citizens that his government would focus on improving infrastructure and governance. “We will leave no stone unturned in ensuring the overall development of Delhi,” he said. His statement came after AAP leader and former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal conceded defeat.

    BJP supporters gathered outside the party headquarters, waving flags and celebrating as vote counting continued. The party secured a strong majority, dealing a major blow to Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which had governed the city for nearly a decade.

    Home Minister Amit Shah credited the victory to the public’s trust in Modi’s leadership. “Our win reflects the people’s faith in Modi’s vision for progress,” he said. With the BJP set to take charge, attention now turns to its plans for Delhi’s future.

  • Imran Khan calls for meeting with PTI’s negotiation team ahead of Jan 28 talks

    Imran Khan calls for meeting with PTI’s negotiation team ahead of Jan 28 talks

    Canada Global (Web News) Imran Khan, founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has called for a meeting with the party’s negotiation team ahead of the next round of talks with the government on January 28. Speaking to party leaders at Adiala Jail, he emphasized that PTI’s final stance on the dialogue process would be decided after the meeting.

    PTI’s position on the negotiations has been unclear, with party chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan recently stating that talks were “on hold” despite earlier announcements of calling them off. The party initially withdrew from the talks, citing the government’s delay in forming a judicial commission to investigate the May 9 riots and the November 26 crackdown.

    So far, three rounds of talks have taken place, but a deadlock persists, with PTI demanding the commission’s formation before proceeding further, while the government has promised a written response in the next round.

    PTI Senator Shibli Faraz reiterated the party’s demand for an impartial probe and criticized the government’s shifting stance on timelines. He stressed the need for political stability and reaffirmed PTI’s willingness to continue discussions if the commission is established.

  • UK anti-corruption Minister resigns amid controversy over ties to former Bangladesh PM

    UK anti-corruption Minister resigns amid controversy over ties to former Bangladesh PM

    Canada Global (Web News) Tulip Siddiq, the UK minister for financial services and anti-corruption, resigned following scrutiny over her financial links to Sheikh Hasina, her aunt and former prime minister of Bangladesh, who is under investigation for corruption.

    Although an inquiry found Siddiq did not breach the ministerial code, she stepped down to avoid distracting the government’s work. Her resignation comes amid allegations that her family may have benefited from financial irregularities, including a $12.65 billion Bangladeshi infrastructure project.

    Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who recently defended Siddiq, swiftly appointed Emma Reynolds as her replacement. This marks the second ministerial resignation in two months, adding pressure to Starmer’s administration.

  • Bangladesh issues second arrest warrant for exiled Hasina

    Bangladesh issues second arrest warrant for exiled Hasina

    Canada Global (Web News) A Bangladeshi court has issued a second arrest warrant for former leader Sheikh Hasina, now in exile, over allegations of involvement in enforced disappearances, the chief prosecutor confirmed on Monday.

    The 77-year-old, who fled to India in August following her removal from power in a student-led revolution, is already facing charges of crimes against humanity. Her 15-year rule was marked by widespread human rights violations, including mass detentions and extrajudicial killings targeting political opponents.

    Chief prosecutor Tajul Islam from the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) stated that the new warrant pertains to enforced disappearances during her tenure. Security forces are accused of abducting over 500 individuals, many of whom were secretly detained for extended periods.

    Since Hasina’s fall, survivors have come forward with detailed accounts of their experiences. “The court has issued warrants against Sheikh Hasina and 11 others, including her military adviser and law enforcement officials,” Islam said.

    Bangladesh requested India to extradite Hasina in December, but Delhi has not responded. Islam emphasized that the trial would follow due process, aiming for a timely resolution.

    Following her ouster, dozens of Hasina’s associates have been detained over their alleged roles in a crackdown that resulted in more than 700 deaths during the unrest.

  • South Korean investigators call off President Yoon’s arrest

    South Korean investigators call off President Yoon’s arrest

    Canada Global (Web News) South Korean investigators called off their attempt to arrest President Yoon Suk Yeol at his residence on Friday, citing safety concerns following a standoff with his security team.

    The arrest, linked to Yoon’s failed December 3 martial law declaration, would make him the first sitting president in the country’s history to be detained. The warrant’s deadline expires Monday, leaving its execution uncertain.

    Yoon, suspended by lawmakers, faces severe consequences, including imprisonment or the death penalty, over allegations of undermining the nation’s democracy. His martial law bid briefly revived fears of military rule in the vibrant East Asian democracy.

    Despite repeated summons, Yoon has refused to cooperate with investigators and vowed earlier this week to “fight” any efforts to detain him.

    The Corruption Investigation Office (CIO), which is leading the probe, reported that its team was blocked by Yoon’s Presidential Security Service during an attempt to execute the warrant. The standoff escalated into a confrontation involving soldiers, prompting the CIO to deem the situation unsafe and suspend the operation. Security forces continue to guard Yoon, treating him as the acting head of state despite his suspension.

    Yoon’s legal team denounced the arrest attempt as illegitimate and vowed to take legal action against the CIO. They argued that the warrant itself was invalid and criticized the investigators’ efforts to enforce it. This resistance mirrors previous instances when Yoon’s security service blocked law enforcement from accessing the presidential office.

    Meanwhile, prosecutors have charged two senior military officials, including one briefly named martial law commander, with insurrection over their roles in the failed bid. Both are already in custody.

    Outside Yoon’s residence, heavy security remains, with police buses and officers lining the streets amid heightened tensions.

  • Pakistan, India exchange lists of nuclear sites

    Pakistan, India exchange lists of nuclear sites

    Canada Global (Web News) Pakistan and India have exchanged their respective lists of nuclear installations and facilities, the Foreign Office reported on Wednesday.

    This annual exchange takes place under the Agreement on the Prohibition of Attacks against Nuclear Installations and Facilities between the two nations, according to the FO statement.

    Pakistan’s list of nuclear sites was handed over to a representative of the Indian High Commission in Islamabad at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At the same time, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs delivered India’s nuclear list to a representative of the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi.

    The agreement, signed on December 31, 1988, stipulates that both countries must exchange lists of nuclear installations and facilities on January 1 each year. The agreement came into effect on January 27, 1991, and the exchange has been occurring annually since January 1, 1992, said FO spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch.

  • Trump slams Biden for commuting death sentences

    Trump slams Biden for commuting death sentences

    Canada Global (Web News) Donald Trump criticized Joe Biden on Tuesday for commuting the death sentences of nearly all federal prisoners on death row, as Biden prepares to leave office and Trump prepares to take office.

    In his final month as president, Biden announced on Monday that he was reducing the sentences of 37 out of 40 federal inmates facing execution to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Among those whose sentences were commuted were nine individuals convicted of killing fellow prisoners, four convicted of murders during bank robberies, and one who killed a prison guard.

    Trump voiced his disapproval on his social media platform, Truth Social, saying, “Joe Biden just commuted the Death Sentence on 37 of the worst killers in our Country. When you hear the acts of each, you won’t believe that he did this. Makes no sense. Relatives and friends are further devastated. They can’t believe this is happening!”

    Biden, who had already imposed a moratorium on the federal death penalty, was under pressure to take further action before leaving office on January 20, especially with indications that Trump would reinstate executions.

    Though Biden condemned the actions of the inmates he spared, he stated that his decision was guided by “my conscience and my experience” to prevent the incoming Trump administration from resuming executions.

    However, Biden excluded three individuals from his commutation order: one of the Boston Marathon bombers from 2013, a gunman who murdered 11 Jewish worshippers in 2018, and a white supremacist responsible for the 2015 shooting of nine Black churchgoers.

    Trump confirmed that, upon taking office, he would instruct the Justice Department to “vigorously pursue the death penalty to protect American families and children from violent rapists, murderers, and monsters.”

  • Justin Trudeau’s options amid Canada’s leadership crisis

    Justin Trudeau’s options amid Canada’s leadership crisis

    Canada Global (Web News) The leader of a Canadian political party supporting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Friday that he would back a motion of no-confidence, effectively ensuring the Liberals’ removal from power early next year.

    Trudeau has faced growing calls to step down following Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s resignation on Monday over a policy disagreement.

    What Happens if Trudeau Resigns?

    If Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigns, the Liberal Party would appoint an interim leader to take over as prime minister while arranging a special leadership convention. However, these conventions typically take months to organise. If an election is called before one takes place, the party would be led by an interim prime minister who wasn’t chosen by party members, a situation never before seen in Canada. The Liberals could opt for a shorter convention, but this could lead to protests from candidates who feel disadvantaged.

    Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland could not be quickly appointed as permanent prime minister, as tradition dictates that interim leaders cannot run as candidates in the leadership race.

    Can Trudeau Be Forced Out by His Liberal Party?

    Unlike in Britain, where party leaders can be swiftly removed by parliamentary caucus, Canada’s Liberal leader is chosen through a special convention of party members. This means there is no formal process for removing Trudeau if he wishes to remain in power. However, if a significant number of cabinet members and legislators call for his resignation, Trudeau may deem his position untenable.

    Can Trudeau Be Forced Out by Parliament?

    In Canada, governments must maintain the confidence of the House of Commons. Votes on budgets and spending measures are considered confidence motions, and if the government loses one, it falls. An election campaign would immediately follow. The House of Commons is currently on winter break and will not return until January 27, making it likely that the earliest a confidence vote could occur would be in late February or March.

    Is There Any Other Way Trudeau Can Be Forced Out?

    The ultimate constitutional power in Canada lies with the Governor General, Mary Simon, who represents King Charles, the head of state. In theory, she could remove Trudeau, but this is highly unlikely. According to constitutional expert Philippe Lagasse, “The governor general won’t dismiss a prime minister who still holds the confidence of the Commons.”

    How Might Trudeau Survive?

    With a minority government, Trudeau relies on support from other parties for votes. While the left-leaning New Democrats have helped keep him in power, they are now vowing to bring him down. The leader of the Bloc Quebecois also stated on Friday that Trudeau would not survive a no-confidence vote if one were called in early 2025.

     

  • 25 criminals sentenced for May 9 tragedy: ISPR

    25 criminals sentenced for May 9 tragedy: ISPR

    Canada Global (Web News) The ISPR has announced the sentencing of 25 individuals involved in attacks on military and government installations during the May 9 tragedy. Jan Muhammad Khan, Muhammad Imran Mehboob, Abdul Hadi, Ali Shan, Shad Khan, Umar Farooq, and Ali Iftikhar Ahmed were sentenced to 10 years in prison for their roles in the Jinnah House attack.

    Raja Muhammad Ehsan and Umar Farooq received 10 years for the GHQ attack, while Rehmatullah, Adnan Ahmed, and Shakirullah were sentenced to 10 years for their involvement in the Punjab Regimental Center Mardan attack.

    Anwar Khan and Babar Jamal, involved in the PAF Base Mianwali attack, received 10 years in prison. Muhammad Afaq Khan was sentenced to 9 years with hard labor for his role in the Bannu Cantt attack. Dawood Khan, involved in the Chakdara Fort attack, received 7 years, and Faheem Haider and Tahir Bashir were sentenced to 6 years for their participation in the Jinnah House attack.

    Several individuals received lesser sentences. Zahid Khan and Naseeb Khan were sentenced to 4 years with hard labor for the Multan Cantt check post and Jinnah House attacks, respectively. Khurram Shahzad received 3 years with hard labor for the Multan Cantt check post attack, while Manzoor Hussain and Syed Alam were sentenced to 2 years for their involvement in the Jinnah House and Punjab Regimental Center Mardan attacks, respectively.

    Other convicts include Yasir Nawaz Khan, Laik Ahmed, and Ziaur Rehman, who received sentences ranging from 2 to 10 years for their roles in various attacks. Each of these individuals was found guilty of directly participating in violence against critical installations, causing significant damage and disruption.

    These convictions underscore the accountability measures taken by authorities against those who violated national security and disrupted public order. The sentences, ranging from 2 to 10 years, include both simple imprisonment and hard labor, reflecting the severity of their crimes.

    Sentences for other accused individuals involved in the May 9 tragedy will be announced as their legal processes conclude, according to the ISPR. This decision marks a crucial step in the nation’s quest for justice. While cases against several accused remain pending in anti-terrorism courts, the tragic events of May 9, 2023, stand out as a grim episode of politically motivated violence and arson in Pakistan’s history.

    These sentences serve as a stern warning to those who succumb to political propaganda, urging restraint and respect for the law. The ISPR stressed that true justice will only be achieved when the masterminds and planners of these violent incidents are held accountable under the constitution and legal framework.

    Pakistan’s commitment to upholding the rule of law is evident in its determination to deliver justice for the events of May 9. Ensuring accountability for all involved will dismantle violent and destructive political narratives, fostering a more stable and lawful society.

  • US diplomats visit Syria to meet new authorities

    US diplomats visit Syria to meet new authorities

    Canada Global (Web News) U.S. diplomats have traveled to Syria to engage with the country’s new leadership, the State Department announced on Friday. The visit comes as international powers seek guarantees that the new government will adopt a moderate and inclusive approach.

    The removal of former president Bashar al-Assad marked the end of decades of authoritarian rule and years of civil war. However, it has sparked concerns over minority and women’s rights, as well as the future status of the semi-autonomous Kurdish region.

    In Qamishli, a city in northeast Syria, thousands gathered to show support for a U.S.-backed, Kurdish-led force facing increasing pressure from Turkey and allied rebel groups.

    The rapid offensive that ousted former president Bashar al-Assad was spearheaded by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), an organization with roots in Al-Qaeda’s Syrian branch that has recently adopted a more moderate stance.

    HTS’s unexpected takeover of the capital has left foreign governments scrambling to reassess their policies toward Syria, particularly in certain nations.

    For the first time since the early days of the civil war—which began in 2011 after Assad’s violent suppression of anti-government protests—U.S. diplomats are formally returning to Damascus.

    The delegation plans to meet with representatives from HTS, as well as activists, minority groups, and civil society organizations, according to the State Department.

    Discussions will focus on Syrians’ aspirations for the country’s future and how the United States can provide support, a State Department spokesperson stated.

    The delegation also includes the U.S. Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs, who is seeking information on missing Americans, including journalist Austin Tice, who was abducted in Syria in August 2012.
