Comments from Chinese official in Madrid have raised questions over who could control the algorithm that powers Tik Tok’s video feed
Donald Trump has claimed his administration has reached a deal with China to keep TikTok operating in the US, amid uncertainty over what shape the final agreement will take, with suggestions from the Chinese side that Beijing would retain control of the algorithm that powers the site’s video feed.

Claims that brothers were sexually abused didn’t supersede ‘premeditation and deliberation’ of killings, says judge
A California judge has rejected a request for a new trial for Erik and Lyle Menendez, saying the allegations that the brothers were sexually abused did not supersede their “premeditation and deliberation” when they killed their parents more than 35 years ago.
The ruling Monday by Los Angeles superior court judge William C Ryan comes just weeks after the brothers were denied parole, and shuts down another possible path to freedom for the pair, who have served nearly 30 years in prison. Ryan denied a May 2023 petition seeking a review of their convictions based on new evidence supporting their claims of sexual abuse by their father.
