Cornell Rape Case Exposes New York’s ‘Voluntary Intoxication Loophole’

The headline merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros Discovery creates a new giant called Skydance. While the deal promises a wider streaming catalogue, it could push prices higher as the company seeks profit after a massive debt load. In the next five years the company must drop dozens of films each year, which may threaten jobs across Hollywood. The settlement also creates an editorial independence board for CNN and CBS, but critics say it will not prevent newsroom control by the new owner.

In the early hours of Saturday, a Turkish‑owned general cargo ship, the Alfa Watan, was struck by drones in the Black Sea and sank, leaving its crew unaccounted for. A second grain‑laden ship, the Able, was also hit but the Bulgarian rescuers recovered all 18 crew, including two injured survivors. Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev condemns the strike as a violation of maritime law and calls the escalating conflict a threat to global security. The incident comes amid rising drone attacks on commercial shipping during Russia’s war in Ukraine.

The devastating August 26 flood on the China‑Nepal border left over 5,000 people missing, yet almost all are still officially alive on paper. Families turned to symbolic Hindu funerals, using "kusha" grass effigies, while grappling with a legal system that requires a death certificate for compensation. The current civil code only presumes death after 12 years, creating a bureaucratic nightmare for those who cannot prove their loved ones’ deaths. Officials are calling for reforms and the government has pledged a review, but concrete solutions remain elusive.
