Both Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of violating the ceasefire agreements that were brokered by international mediators. The continued fighting has strained diplomatic efforts to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict and has increased the risk of a wider regional conflict.By HALELUYA HADERO, Associated Press President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue. The request came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court, in which the company argued the court should strike down a law that could ban the platform by Jan. 19 while the government emphasized its position that the statute is needed to eliminate a national security risk. “President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute. Instead, he respectfully requests that the Court consider staying the Act’s deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case,” said Trump’s amicus brief, which supported neither party in the case and was written by D. John Sauer, Trump’s choice for solicitor general. Related Articles The argument submitted to the court is the latest example of Trump inserting himself in national issues before he takes office. The Republican president-elect has already begun negotiating with other countries over his plans to impose tariffs, and he intervened earlier this month in a plan to fund the federal government, calling for a bipartisan plan to be rejected and sending Republicans back to the negotiating table. He has been holding meetings with foreign leaders and business officials at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida while he assembles his administration, including a meeting last week with TikTok CEO Shou Chew. Trump has reversed his position on the popular app, having tried to ban it during his first term in office over national security concerns. He joined the TikTok during his 2024 presidential campaign and his team used it to connect with younger voters, especially male voters, by pushing content that was often macho and aimed at going viral. He said earlier this year that he still believed there were national security risks with TikTok, but that he opposed banning it. The filings Friday come ahead of oral arguments scheduled for Jan. 10 on whether the law, which requires TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company or face a ban, unlawfully restricts speech in violation of the First Amendment. The law was was signed by President Joe Biden in April after it passed Congress with broad bipartisan support. TikTok and ByteDance filed a legal challenge afterwards. Earlier this month, a panel of three federal judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously upheld the statute , leading TikTok to appeal the case to the Supreme Court. The brief from Trump said he opposes banning TikTok at this junction and “seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office.” In their brief to the Supreme Court on Friday, attorneys for TikTok and its parent company ByteDance argued the federal appeals court erred in its ruling and based its decision on “alleged ‘risks’ that China could exercise control” over TikTok’s U.S. platform by pressuring its foreign affiliates. The Biden administration has argued in court that TikTok poses a national security risk due to its connections to China. Officials say Chinese authorities can compel ByteDance to hand over information on TikTok’s U.S. patrons or use the platform to spread or suppress information. But the government “concedes that it has no evidence China has ever attempted to do so,” TikTok’s legal filing said, adding that the U.S. fears are predicated on future risks. In its filing Friday, the Biden administration said because TikTok “is integrated with ByteDance and relies on its propriety engine developed and maintained in China,” its corporate structure carries with it risk.
Whether the Assisted Dying Bill passes or falls when it returns to the Commons on Friday, Angela Rayner says it’s good that it’s sparked a “long-overdue” national debate on dying. The Deputy Leader says she has decided how she’ll vote on the bill, but won’t be “wading in” to express her view. It comes after a string of cabinet ministers defied civil service advice to keep their views on the bill to themselves - with Health Secretary Wes Streeting notably coming out against the move to legalise euthanasia. Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown also declared his opposition, saying his newborn daughter’s death in 2002 had convinced him of he “value and imperative of good end-of-life care”. He said the debate on assisted dying was moving too fast, given the “profound ethical and practical issues” - adding the current state of the NHS means this is not the right time for a far-reaching decision. “I’m not going to wade in and say which way because I actually think the most important thing is that people read the bill and then get as much information as they possibly can, including speaking to their constituents,” Ms Rayner said. Asked if she thought the wind was blowing one way or the other on the bill, she added: “No, I think people are genuinely looking at all of the different information.” “If anything, it’s sparked a national debate,” she added. “Exploring some of the challenges that we face at the moment as well around how we look after people and how people are given palliative care and what the pathways are for people at the moment. “Britain’s not very good at talking about death....People just don’t like talking about it, as if it somehow brings it forward. “But the one thing we always guaranteed when we’re born is that we will die one day, and therefore a debate around how we look after people I think is a long overdue debate.” Be the first with news from Mirror Politics US ELECTION WHATSAPP: Join our US Election WhatsApp group here to be first to get all the biggest news and results as America heads to the polls.
