How is Donald Trump threatening press freedoms in the United States?
Donald Trump is endangering press freedoms through several concerning actions, notably banning the Associated Press from the Oval Office and Air Force One, while demanding media outlets rename the Gulf of Mexico as the 'Gulf of America.' These acts represent direct attempts to control and manipulate press coverage and journalistic independence. These threats extend beyond immediate press restrictions to pose fundamental risks to American democracy itself. Political experts warn that such suppression of journalistic integrity could have lasting impacts on civil service roles in critical sectors, potentially undermining core democratic institutions if left unchallenged.

What are the main allegations in Sean Diddy Combs' lawsuit against NBCUniversal and Ample Entertainment?
In his $100 million defamation lawsuit against NBCUniversal and Ample Entertainment, Sean 'Diddy' Combs claims the defendants exploited public trust and capitalized on the public's insatiable appetite for content about him, particularly ahead of his criminal trial. The complaint alleges that NBC, despite being a century-old trusted name in news, made a conscious decision to prioritize profits over truth, decency, and professional journalistic standards. Combs specifically accuses the documentary 'Diddy: Making of a Bad Boy' of broadcasting an 'outrageous set of fresh lies and conspiracy theories,' describing the content as malicious, reckless, and salacious. He characterizes the documentary as an attempt to outdo competitors by releasing the most sensationalized expose about him, containing false and defamatory statements.

Has Israel upheld its obligations under the November 2024 ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah?
According to Al Jazeera's digital investigation team Sanad, Israel has not upheld its ceasefire obligations that began on November 27, 2024. Their investigation reveals a pattern of Israeli military activity that directly contradicts the terms of the 60-day truce agreement with Hezbollah. The ceasefire terms required Israel to halt military operations in Lebanon and gradually withdraw from the south, while Hezbollah would stop attacks on Israel. However, Sanad's findings indicate ongoing Israeli military presence and operations rather than the promised withdrawal, suggesting significant violations of the agreement.

How is Israel violating the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon?
Israel is continuing ground operations and demolitions inside Lebanon despite the ceasefire agreement that took effect on November 27, 2024. Al Jazeera's Sanad team analyzed over 30 videos and images from Israeli military sources and social media that show ongoing Israeli ground operations and aerial attacks within Lebanese territory. The evidence reveals these activities are direct violations of the truce agreement, which stipulated that Israel was required to withdraw all its troops from the area within 60 days. Instead, Israel appears to be maintaining and even expanding military operations, contradicting their commitments under the ceasefire terms.
