Apple told a court that Jon Prosser still hasn’t answered its July lawsuit accusing him of stealing trade secrets, and a clerk entered a default last week. Prosser, however, told The Verge he has been in active communication with Apple and isn’t ignoring the case. In the complaint, Apple alleges Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti coordinated to obtain secrets: Ramacciotti allegedly accessed a development iPhone, video-called Prosser, and showed features of iOS 19—officially named iOS 26. Before the software’s announcement, Prosser posted videos on Camera app changes and the Liquid Glass design language.

Kenny Loggins condemned the unauthorized use of his song “Danger Zone” in an AI-generated video on Truth Social that depicts President Donald Trump dumping excrement from a fighter jet onto last weekend’s “No Kings” protests. In a Monday website statement, he said he wasn’t asked for permission and urged the video’s removal, calling the post divisive. As of Tuesday morning, it remained up. The White House responded to inquiries with a “Top Gun” still captioned “I FEEL THE NEED FOR SPEED.” Trump has used music on AI videos before and dismissed the rallies as a “joke.”

During a Tuesday morning immigration operation in South Los Angeles, a deputy U.S. marshal was wounded by a ricochet from an ICE officer’s gun after agents boxed in a suspect who authorities say tried to ram their vehicle. The man, described by DHS as having previously escaped custody, was shot in the elbow; the deputy was hit in the hand. Both were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The confrontation drew tense onlookers near Santee Education Complex. The Office of Inspector General, Homeland Security Investigations and the FBI are investigating.

Attorneys for Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate and legal U.S. resident once detained by ICE after pro‑Palestinian activism, asked the Third Circuit to uphold his release and block renewed detention or deportation. Khalil, freed in June after more than 100 days in a Louisiana facility, remains protected by a New Jersey district judge’s order even as a Louisiana immigration judge later ruled he should be deported to Syria or Algeria over omissions on his green‑card application. His team, including the ACLU, plans to appeal. A federal judge also eased his travel limits, requiring two days’ notice before traveling.

Israel is barring UNRWA from Gaza and moving to de-register major international NGOs, a process aid officials say is ideological and has left groups unable to deliver supplies to Gaza and the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Despite a ceasefire deal brokered this month by President Trump promising an aid surge, only two of seven crossings are open and many entry requests are rejected. The Norwegian Refugee Council and others await approvals as trucks sit idle in Egypt and Jordan. Israel cites security; critics warn delisting and data demands endanger staff and hamper life-saving relief.

President Donald Trump warned of a “fast, furious, and brutal” response if Hamas violates the week-old ceasefire, saying regional allies stand ready to enter Gaza at his request—though not U.S. forces. The deal he brokered wobbled after weekend violence, including an Israeli bombardment that killed at least 28 in Gaza following a Palestinian attack that killed two soldiers. Both Israel and Hamas have recommitted as U.S. envoys push to steady the plan; Hamas’s disarmament and the return of hostages’ bodies have lagged.

Nearly 12 years after a 2013 fraternity-party assault, Shannon Keeler faced Ian Cleary in court as he was sentenced to two to four years in prison. Keeler read a victim impact statement describing lasting trauma and later told ABC News it felt “really good” to look him in the eyes. She called the term shorter than expected but said jail time and being labeled a sexual predator bring accountability. Cleary, found in France this year, had pleaded guilty and apologized. With time served, he could be eligible for parole after six months.

Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy, 70, has been incarcerated at Paris’ La Santé prison after receiving a five-year sentence for plotting to finance his 2007 campaign with Libyan funds. He is appealing and insists he is innocent. Becoming modern France’s first ex-leader behind bars, Sarkozy arrived by police motorcade after a farewell meeting with President Emmanuel Macron. The once tough-on-crime conservative—nicknamed “President Bling-Bling”—remains a polarizing figure, with a career marked by flashy style, hardline stances on immigration and crime, and an enduring marriage to Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, who was seen embracing him before his transfer.

After surviving a 2012 Taliban shooting, Malala Yousafzai now grapples with the weight of her Nobel Peace Prize and the scars she once thought healed. In her new memoir, Finding My Way, she recounts Oxford years of discovery — rooftops, failed exams, first love — and a marijuana episode that hurled her back into the attack, triggering PTSD, anxiety and therapy. She reflects on marriage, culture and choice after falling for Asser, and renews her plea for girls’ safety and schooling, as Malala Fund advocates for girls’ education worldwide.

Plans for President Donald Trump to meet Vladimir Putin are on hold after a call between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russia’s Sergey Lavrov, a U.S. official said. The Budapest session had been announced but never scheduled. The Kremlin said there was no urgency and serious preparation is needed, while Kyiv and European leaders accused Moscow of stalling and vowed to use frozen Russian assets for Ukraine. Trump’s shifting stance, including talk of freezing lines and carving up Donbas, meets warnings that only sustained pressure can bring peace as EU sanctions talks near.
