The SNP has lodged a House of Commons motion to remove Prince Andrew’s dukedom. The Nationalists’ Westminster leader Stephen Flynn has submitted an Early Day Motion (EDM) which would force the UK Government to introduce a law on the issue. Mr Flynn said “power and privilege” has protected those in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal for far too long and that legislation to remove Prince Andrew’s titles must be brought forward without “any further excuses and any further delay”. It comes amid claims Prince Andrew had sought to obtain through his police protection staff the personal information of Virginia Giuffre, who was trafficked by the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The Prince gave up his Duke of York title, knighthood and role as a Royal Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter on Friday. But he still retains his dukedom. It is only an act of parliament which could remove this. Last month the SNP lodged a similar motion to pressure Sir Keir Starmer’s government into removing the peerage of Peter Mandelson Lord Mandelson was sacked as US ambassador in September following revelations about his friendship with Epstein. Mr Flynn is now proposing that a short government bill should be introduced immediately which would swiftly remove both Prince Andrew’s dukedom and Peter Mandelson’s peerage. Mr Flynn said: “If the Westminster parties remain stubbornly slow in removing Prince Andrew’s titles – the SNP will do all we can to force them to act. “Prince Andrew’s titles can only be removed by an Act of Parliament – therefore this SNP motion is a way to pile pressure on the UK Labour Government to bring forward that legislation immediately. “The only real question is what Keir Starmer’s government is waiting for? The public knows this is the right thing to do, and even more importantly the victims at the heart of the Epstein scandal know that it’s the right thing to do. It needs to be done without any further excuses and any further delay. “Those implicated in the Epstein scandal have been able to escape justice because they have hidden behind their power and privilege. In the last few months, we have seen that story play out with the allegations against Prince Andrew and Peter Mandelson. The only way to put an end to that injustice is to strip away that power and privilege in every way that we can. “If the Labour Party fails to act against Prince Andrew, they are consciously choosing to sit on their hands and choosing to defend the indefensible – what reasons can the Labour Government possibly have to protect a man who is hiding behind his privilege and position? “I sincerely hope for the sake of all Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, that Keir Starmer’s government changes course, supports this SNP motion and brings forward legislation to remove Prince Andrew’s titles and Peter Mandelson’s peerage, immediately.” According to The Telegraph, King Charles forced his brother to give up his titles because of fears that the scandal will worsen due to an email sent to Mr Epstein. Some Labour figures have also said that Prince Andrew should lose his dukedom. This would need the backing of the UK Government because Labour has more than 400 of the 650 MPs.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has said it is nearing completion of its investigations into former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta’s case and will soon forward the docket to the Attorney General’s office to enable the commencement of extradition proceedings. This follows concerns raised by the Deputy Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Justice Srem Sai, that his office has yet to receive the necessary dockets from the OSP to initiate the extradition process.
Police say a phone call from the suspect's family and the hard work of officers may have stopped the man from taking dozens of lives.
The Washington Commanders (3-4) got encouraging news on Monday concerning the status of quarterback Jayden Daniels. According to head coach Dan Quinn, an MRI showed that Daniels avoided a “significant or long-term” hamstring injury. Daniels, the reigning AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, exited Sunday’s 44-22 Week 7 defeat to the Dallas Cowboys (3-3-1) in the third quarter. Daniels’ right leg got twisted up after he was sacked by Cowboys linebacker Shemar James. He limped off the field with assistance from his teammates and did not return to the contest. Marcus Mariota finished the game under center. Quinn is unsure about Daniels’ availability for next Monday’s Week 8 road game against the Kansas City Chiefs (4-3). “Good news. Not significant or long-term,” Quinn said. “I don’t know the status for Monday night just yet. I’ll have a better sense as we get closer to it. Not a long-term thing but I just can’t answer tonight where I’m at with the game being Monday. I’ll have a better feel when we get to Thursday.” Jayden Daniels picks up another injury Daniels has already missed two games this season, sidelined in Weeks 3 and 4 due to a left knee sprain. He has thrown for 1,031 yards, eight touchdowns and one interception on 61% passing. On the ground, he’s picked up 211 yards and an additional score. Washington is 2-3 in his starts. Coming off an NFC Championship Game appearance, the Commanders have been slow out of the gates in 2025. Injuries have certainly played a part, with Daniels and the wide receiver duo of Terry McLaurin (quad) Deebo Samuel (heel) missing time. Running back Austin Ekeler (Achilles) is also out for the season. Quinn then announced Monday that defensive end Dorance Armstrong, who leads the team with 5.5 sacks, will miss the remainder of the season. He suffered a significant knee injury against the Cowboys. “That’s hard, when he’s really coming on like he has,” Quinn said of Armstrong. “Had a chance to visit with him today and, yeah, that’s a hard one for us. I’m just bummed for him. Thought he was really starting to make his mark.”

The San Francisco 49ers were able to win again without the services of starting quarterback Brock Purdy on Sunday night against the Atlanta Falcons, moving to 5-2 on the year with the victory. Unfortunately, they may very well need to overcome Purdy’s potential absence again in Week 8 when they take on the Houston Texans. The bright side of Purdy’s absence is that backup quarterback Mac Jones has been able to show what he is plenty capable of leading the team to wins. Despite Jones’ success, most believe that Purdy will have to be the man under center in San Francisco if the 49ers are truly going to make some noise in the NFC. 49ers fans may need to wait a little longer for Purdy to return to the field, as a new update emerged on Monday from head coach Kyle Shanahan suggesting that he may again by unlikely to suit up in Week 8. SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA – SEPTEMBER 28: Brock Purdy #13 of the San Francisco 49ers in action during the NFL 2025 game between Jacksonville Jaguars and San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium on September 28, 2025 in Santa Clara, California. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images) More news: Broncos’ Sean Payton Seemingly Takes Shot at Russell Wilson Speaking with reporters on Monday, Shanahan described Purdy as “likely a reach” to suit up on Sunday against the Houston Texans. 49ers updates:QB Brock Purdy likely a reach to return this week at Houston, “will continue like he did last week,” said Shanahan, noting Houston turf not a factorDE Bryce Huff (hamstring) and C Jake Brendel (hamstring) out couple weeksCB Renardo Green does not have turf toe— Cam Inman (@CamInman) October 20, 2025 More news: Dolphins Receive Positive Update After Concerning Darren Waller Injury Shanahan’s update on Purdy could certainly loom large ahead of a matchup with the Texans that has proven very difficult for opposing quarterbacks thus far this season. Thus far this season, the Texans have allowed the third-fewest yards per game in the NFL. Additionally, Houston’s defense has allowed just 12.2 points per game to opponents, the fewest points allowed in the league. If Purdy also misses Week 8, he would fortunately have an additional week thanks to the 49ers Week 9 bye to get healthy before their next game in Week 10 against the New York Giants. So on the bright side, it seems as if Purdy shouldn’t miss too many more games before eventually reclaiming his starting quarterback job. For more on the San Francisco 49ers, Brock Purdy, and all things around the NFL, head to Newsweek Sports.

By HANNAH SCHOENBAUM and MEAD GRUVER SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah judge on Monday sentenced a man who appeared to fake his death and flee the United States to avoid arrest on rape charges to anywhere from five years to life in prison. Nicholas Rossi, 38, is “a serial abuser of women” and “the very definition of a flight risk,” District Judge Barry Lawrence said before handing down the sentence. It was Rossi’s first of two sentencings after separate convictions in August and September of raping two women in northern Utah in 2008. He is scheduled to be sentenced in November in the second case. Utah allows prison sentences to be given as a range rather than a set period of time. A parole board will determine if and when Rossi is released. Five years to life is the entire range of possible prison time under Utah law for rape, a first-degree felony. Jurors found Rossi guilty of rape in August after a three-day trial in which his accuser and her parents each took the stand. Rossi left a “trail of fear, pain and destruction” behind him, the victim in the case told the court shortly before Rossi was sentenced. The Associated Press does not typically identify rape victims. “This is not a plea for vengeance. This is a plea for safety and accountability, for recognition of the damage that will never fully heal,” she said. Rossi “uses rape to control women” and posed a risk to community safety, argued Deputy Salt Lake County District Attorney Brandon Simmons, a prosecutor in the case, before Rossi’s sentencing. Rossi did not testify on his own behalf at his trial. Given a chance to speak before being sentenced Monday, he maintained his innocence. “I am not guilty of this. These women are lying,” Rossi said in a soft, raspy voice. Utah authorities began searching for Rossi, whose legal name is Nicholas Alahverdian, when he was identified in 2018 through a decade-old DNA rape kit. He was among thousands of rape suspects identified and later charged when Utah made a push to clear its rape kit backlog. Months after he was charged in that case, an online obituary claimed Rossi died on Feb. 29, 2020, of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. But police in his home state of Rhode Island, along with his former lawyer and a former foster family, cast doubt on whether he was dead. He was arrested in Scotland the following year while receiving treatment for COVID-19. Hospital staff recognized his distinctive tattoos — including the crest of Brown University inked on his shoulder, although he never attended — from an Interpol notice. He was extradited to Utah in January 2024 after a protracted court battle. At the time, Rossi insisted he was an Irish orphan named Arthur Knight who was being framed. Investigators say they identified at least a dozen aliases Rossi used over the years to evade capture. In his first trial, Rossi’s public defender denied the rape claim and urged jurors not to read too much into his move overseas. Even so, the jury convicted Rossi of the rape charge for which he was sentenced Monday. The victim in the case had been living with her parents and recovering from a traumatic brain injury in 2008 when she responded to a personal ad Rossi posted on Craigslist. They began dating and were engaged within a couple weeks. She testified that Rossi asked her to pay for dates and car repairs, lend him $1,000 so he wouldn’t be evicted, and take on debt to buy their engagement rings. He grew hostile soon after their engagement and raped her in his bedroom one night after she drove him home, she said. She went to police years later, after hearing that Rossi was accused of raping another woman in Utah around the same time. The victim in that case went to police soon after Rossi attacked her at his apartment in Orem. The woman had gone there to collect money she said he stole from her to buy a computer. Rossi was convicted in that case in September and sentencing is set for Nov. 4. Rossi grew up in foster homes in Rhode Island and returned there before he appeared to fake his death and flee the country. He was previously wanted in the state for failing to register as a sex offender. The FBI says he also faces fraud charges in Ohio, where he was convicted of sex-related charges in 2008. Gruver reported from Ft. Collins, Colorado.

Drew Greenlaw put a damper on his Broncos debut It is unclear why Greenlaw was so angry with Allen, but the Broncos were on the wrong end of a pass interference call late in the fourth quarter. Denver was leading 30-26 when cornerback Riley Moss was called for a questionable pass interference penalty on Giants wide receiver Beaux Collins with 40 seconds remaining in the game. The penalty put New York at the 2-yard line. The Broncos were then called for unsportsmanlike conduct after head coach Sean Payton came out to protest the call. That gave the Giants the ball at the 1-yard line, and Jaxson Dart ran for a go-ahead touchdown on the following play. Denver still managed to come back and win, but Greenlaw was obviously furious about something. The 28-year-old signed a three-year, $35M deal with the Broncos during the offseason and was held out for the first six weeks because of a quad injury. He had six total tackles in his debut with the team on Sunday, but he may now have to take another week off.

Outrage spread Monday over President Trump’s effort to mock the huge No Kings protests over the weekend by posting an AI video of himself dumping waste on demonstrators. Supporters of the sprawling rallies that drew millions slammed Trump for posting the 18-second clip depicting him wearing a crown and piloting a KING TRUMP warplane over some of the sprawling crowds that gathered on Saturday to protest his hard-line second term in power. The phony plane was shown dumping foul brown waste on some of the throngs of people who marched through Times Square. “Anybody who would depict himself as dumping waste on the American people … doesn’t really warrant [holding] the powers of the presidency,” said Mike Zamore of the American Civil Liberties Union, told CNN on Monday. “It’s another reflection of the lack of regard the president has for the people of this country,” “The GOP can smear these protests all they want, but they can’t silence the truth,” tweeted Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-Brooklyn), who participated in the Times Square rally. Rocker Kenny Loggins, whose hit “Danger Zone” is used in the Trump clip, demanded that the song be removed. “I can’t imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us,” the “Footloose” singer said in a statement. House Speaker Mike Johnson Monday accused protesters of inciting violence because some carried signs with the slogan “86 47,” a euphemism for ousting Trump, who is the 47th president. “He’s using satire to make a point,” Johnson told reporters on Capitol Hill. “He’s not calling for the murder of his political opponents.” Trump didn’t immediately comment on the reaction to the video, which was created by a right-wing Artificial Intelligence meme creator. But he derided the nationwide crowds, estimated at up to 7 million people in cities and towns from coast to coast, as being unrepresentative of the country and said the rallies were bankrolled by “radical left lunatics.” The White House has recently stepped up its use of AI-generated fake videos to needle political opponents. It posted a fake short video featuring Democratic congressional leaders Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, with the latter wearing a Mexican-style sombrero, to dramatize the false GOP claim that Democrats want to fund health care for undocumented immigrants. Vice President JD Vance said the sombrero video was all in good fun. A Republican campaign committee last week used AI to create a realistic-looking video of Schumer boasting about the political impact of the government shutdown. But critics say it’s no joke to depict a president attacking his constituents.
