Drone operators worry that anxiety over mystery sightings will lead to new restrictionsThe Milwaukee Bucks' recent run of winning has quieted their desperation for a trade. However, the team still could use an upgrade defensively. The pool of players who are eligible to be traded will grow significantly on December 15th. The Bucks most likely won't hesitate to initiate trade discussions after that deadline. If the Bucks early-season woes return, there could be a roster overhaul. Though an overhaul appears highly unlikely at this moment, as Giannis Antetokounmpo remains committed to the franchise that drafted him 11 years ago. In the event of an Antetokounmpo trade request, Brook Lopez could be involved in a subsequent move. It is safe to assume that the 36-year-old would not want to remain on a rebuilding Bucks team at this stage of his career. NBC Sports recently released a list of possible Los Angeles Lakers trade candidates, which included the Bucks center. "...the long shot — if things really fall apart in Milwaukee — would the Bucks moving on from Brook Lopez (that seems unlikely)." The Lakers are 10-6 and sit just two games back of the Western Conference leaders," the article stated. "A Brook Lopez trade would solidify their center depth behind Anthony Davis as they prepare for a championship run." The two big men could also play alongside each other, as they both space the floor. Lopez particularly does so on relatively low usage, which would open up the offense for Davis and LeBron James. The specifics of a deal could look similar to the following: Lakers receive: Brook Lopez, Tyler Smith Bucks receive: Jarred Vanderbilt, Cam Reddish, Gabe Vincent, 2029 first-round pick, 2025 second-round pick Milwaukee does this trade assuming an Antetokounmpo trade request has happened. As they enter a rebuild, this deal nets them first-round draft capital along with a second-rounder in a deeply talented class. Meanwhile, Vanderbilt is a 25-year-old athletic rim protector who could grow into Milwaukee's backup center of the future. Reddish is also 25 years old and could grow into a bench wing during the hypothetical rebuild. Additionally, Vincent is a cromulent 28-year-old bench point guard but was mainly included for salary-matching. The Lakers should certainly not anticipate Lopez becoming available, as the Bucks and coach Doc Rivers rely on the stretch five heavily. MORE BUCKS NEWS: Bucks predicted to cut ties with regressing All-Star via trade with MagicBrits have been alerted to keep an eye out for a rare 50 pence coin depicting a beloved story character, which could be worth a hefty sum. A coin expert, known online as the Coin Collecting Wizard, has signalled that the 2008 50p coin featuring Raymond Briggs' Snowman could command up to £300 if sold to a collector. The Coin Collecting Wizard shared his insights on social media app TikTok, where he pointed out: "This 50 pence is worth over £300. This sought after collectible coin is a new addition of a rare Christmas themed design first issued in 2003 inspired by Raymond Briggs’ The Snowman first published in 1978. " He added: "The magical tale of a young boy's snowman coming to life was adapted into a short animated film in 1982, which has become a mainstay of British festive TV schedules." The Coin Collecting Wizard then went on to explain that the coin designs from both 2003 and 2008 commemorate significant anniversaries of the book’s release. Elaborating further, he remarked: "The 2003 snowman and James coin was the first in a popular series produced in partnership with Popjoy Mint to mark the 25th anniversary of the original storybook. This 2008 coin struck for the 30th anniversary recreates the 2003 design showing James and his snowy companion ready to take to the air in front of some seasonal fir trees." He concluded by highlighting the growing value of such collectibles: "The value of this point increased dramatically over the years and easily sells for over £300 today." At the time this article was first published a copy of this coin was listed on eBay for £1,095.

President Nikos Christodoulides reportedly presented a plan of Cyprus’ possible future accession to NATO to US President Joe Biden at their meeting in October 30 at the White House. According to Katherini , the plan, which was “eagerly accepted” by Washington, is “detailed, well-thought-out, with long-term planning and consisting of many interdependent stages.” Kathimerini ’s correspondent in the US capital said the Christodoulides also presented the plan to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on the sidelines of the European Political Community Summit in Bucharest. Christodoulides, according to Kathimerini, sets as a priority the formalisation of the relationship between Cyprus and NATO. To achieve this, a chain of events must ensue, starting with developments on the Cyprus problem and progress on Euro-Turkish issues . Nicosia also asked the United States to procure US defence equipment through a three- or five-year agreement; further upgrade the field of training members of the National Guard in US military academies; and decisive contribution of the United States to the gradual modernisation of Cyprus’ defense capabilities and means to NATO standards.

Drone operators worry that anxiety over mystery sightings will lead to new restrictionsTopline A New York Police Department official said Thursday they have “no indication” that Luigi Mangione—the 26-year-old suspect in last week’s fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson—was a client of UnitedHealthcare, a development that comes as police gather more physical evidence allegedly connecting Mangione to the crime.

Text “Alerts” to (201) 335-0739 or sign up here . What We Know About Brian Thompson’s Murder Thompson, 50, was the CEO of the health insurance division of the $550 billion UnitedHealth Group and was in New York City on Wednesday for UnitedHealth Group’s investor meeting. He was shot from behind just before 7 a.m. on Dec. 4 outside of the New York Hilton Midtown—where the meeting was being held—and was hit in the back and right calf, after which the suspect fled the area on foot and on an electric bike. A Minnesota resident, Thompson had served as chief executive since April 2021 and had been with UnitedHealth Group since 2004. A video of the shooting showed the suspect walk out behind Thompson—who did not have a security detail—before firing multiple times. Prior to Mangione’s arrest, police said they believed the shooting was “a brazen targeted attack” and searched New York City before saying they believed the suspect had left the city on a bus. Thompson’s wife, Paulette Thompson, told NBC News “there had been some threats,” but didn’t provide details on what the threats were. Thompson had two sons, one who just graduated from high school and one still in high school. Police had been searching for the gunman by utilizing diving teams in Central Park, flying helicopters, searching through security cameras in the area, maintaining drones and using dogs. They released several photos of the suspected shooter since Wednesday. What Do We Know About Luigi Mangione? Mangione, a Maryland native, was last known to be living in Honolulu, has no prior arrest history in New York or elsewhere in the country, and he may have attended college in Pennsylvania, police said. Social media pages that appeared to be Mangione’s said he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with bachelor's and master's degrees in computer and information science in 2020, after attending the Gilman School for high school. A LinkedIn page appearing to belong to Mangione describes internships at the Johns Hopkins Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics and Firaxis Games before going on to work as an engineer for TrueCar, a car shopping website based in California, where he’d been employed for four years. The Times also reported Mangione worked as a counselor in the Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies Program in 2019. How Was Luigi Mangione Caught? New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Mangione was recognized in a McDonald’s in Altoona and was reported to local police, who then found he had “multiple fraudulent IDs,” a U.S. passport, a firearm and suppressor similar to what was used in the murder and a “handwritten document that speaks to both his motivation and mindset.” Officers reportedly asked Mangione if he was in New York recently, which resulted in him becoming quiet and shaking, according to a description of his arrest. A man named Larry who said he was a regular at the McDonald’s told Fox News his friend recognized Mangione and said he “looks like the shooter from New York,” but Larry thought he was kidding—“but then as it turned out, it was him.” Though his face was largely covered in most pictures law enforcement released, officials credited the images that were circulating of Mangione for him eventually being spotted and taken into custody. Pennsylvania State Police released a new photo Tuesday morning of Mangione eating what appears to be a McDonald’s hash brown with his mask down and wearing a beanie and dark coat. They are asking for help and information about Mangione’s “travel and recent whereabouts in Pennsylvania,” though Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said authorities believe Mangione had been all over the state and officials had “already identified businesses, for example, that he frequented in this area and activities that he engaged in.” A hotel clerk in Altoona told ABC News that Mangione tried to get a room at the hotel—which is about a 17-minute walk from McDonald’s—the morning he was arrested, but the hotel didn’t have any clean rooms, so Mangione, who the clerk described as “cagey, just looking around, making sure he wasn't being watched,” was turned away. What Has Luigi Mangione Been Charged With? He faces second-degree murder , gun and forgery charges in New York state. In New York, first-degree murder charges are reserved for killings with aggravated circumstances, such as those involving police officers, torture or if someone is hired to kill. Mangione was also initially charged in Pennsylvania with forgery, carrying firearms without a license, tampering with records or identification, possessing instruments of a crime and providing false identification to law enforcement. He was ordered in his arraignment Monday night to be held without bail, and has been placed in a single cell at the “maximum custody level,” Maria Bivens, press secretary for the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, told CNN . The New York Times reported Tuesday afternoon that Mangione will be moved from a prison in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, to Blair County Prison, where he will wait for his New York arrest warrant to be executed. When Will Luigi Mangione Appear In Court Next? Mangione appeared in court in Pennsylvania shortly after 1:30 p.m. EST on Dec. 10 for an extradition hearing and said he would be fighting extradition. He was arraigned on the Pennsylvania charges the night of Dec. 9, and a preliminary hearing in that state is scheduled for Dec. 23. On Thursday, a judge set a hearing for 1 p.m. on Dec. 30 to address Mangione’s extradition fight and request for bail. What Do We Know About Mangione’s Prison Conditions? NewsNation conducted an interview outside of the prison Mangione is being held in on Wednesday with inmates who were watching the show on television and yelling answers out to a field reporter. Inmates can be heard yelling “Luigi’s conditions suck!” and “free Luigi!” in the interview. CBS News reported Mangione is being held in a single cell, but is not in solitary confinement. A prison official told CBS Mangione does not get to interact with other inmates, but he has not been violent and is not on suicide watch. What Has Luigi Mangione’s Lawyer Said About The Case? Thomas Dickey told reporters he had been hired to represent Mangione in this case but refused to disclose if Mangione’s family was paying to retain his services. In an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, he said he had not seen any evidence that the police have arrested the right guy in this case, adding that the New York officials requesting Mangione’s extradition will have to convince him. Dickey also disclosed that several people had emailed his staff offering to foot Mangione’s legal bills, but said while his “client appreciates the support that he has,” he “probably wouldn’t” accept the offers. In a CNN interview Wednesday , Dickey questioned the evidence police had against Mangione—specifically the ballistics and fingerprint evidence—saying those two forms of evidence have “come under some criticism in the past, relative to their credibility, their truthfulness, their accuracy.” What’s Known About Luigi Mangione's Alleged Ghost Gun? A description of Mangione’s arrest notes officers found a 3D-printed pistol and 3D-printed silencer in his backpack. The pistol was loaded with a Glock magazine containing six nine-millimeter full metal jacket rounds. A loose nine-millimeter hollow point round was also found in the backpack. Authorities have said the gun and silencer are consistent with the firearm used in the shooting of Thompson. Have Police Named A Motive? Police have not named a formal motive in the killing of Thompson—but have suggested Mangione had issues with the insurance industry. Officers found three 9mm rounds at the scene and bullet casings had the words “deny,” “defend” and “depose” on them, which echo a phrase commonly used to criticize tactics insurance companies use to reject claims. At a Monday press conference, NYPD’s Kenny said a three-page handwritten manifesto found on Mangione when he was arrested is in the possession of Altoona police, but “it does seem that he has some ill will toward corporate America.” Kenny also said there were no other “specific threats” to people in the document. Citing an unnamed law enforcement official, the Associated Press reported that in the document mentioned Mangione admitted to working alone, stating: “To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone.” The note added, “I do apologize for any strife or traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming.” What Has The Response To Luigi Mangione Been Online? There has been a flood of people supporting Mangione on social media platforms, with some offering to pay his bills and a number of GoFundMe campaigns popping up to offer financial support (though GoFundMe told Fox Business the fundraisers violated policy, were removed and donors were reimbursed). Some social media users have commented on his physical appearance and called him a hero , and accounts providing updates on Mangione have popped up on sites like X, formerly known as Twitter. On Tuesday, The Cut reported “Magione merch is everywhere” and The Washington Post reported merchandise with the words reportedly found on the bullet casings found at the scene was being sold on sites like Amazon and Etsy, though much of it was later removed. An assistant professor at Mangione’s alma mater received backlash after calling Mangione the “icon we all need and deserve” on Instagram and saying in a TikTok she had “never been prouder to be a professor” at the University of Pennsylvania, USA Today reported . The professor, Julia Alekseyeva, later apologized , but at least one lawmaker has called on the university to fire her, Fox News reported Thursday. One expert in social media told The New York Times the response supporting Mangione was “organic” as “people are legitimately actually pissed off at the health care industry, and there is some kind of support for vigilante justice.” On Wednesday, the NYPD’s deputy commissioner for intelligence and counterterrorism Rebecca Weiner said the impact of the situation is “similar to that of a domestic terror attack,” adding: “That is already being reflected in this torrent of online vitriol that we’ve been in the midst of since last Wednesday and the lionization of the alleged perpetrator of the murder as a hero.” What We Know About An Online Fundraiser For Mangione's Legal Defense An online fundraiser on GiveSendGo to cover Mangione’s legal defense costs has raised more than $45,000 as of early Thursday. The fundraiser and accompanying messages further highlight the support the alleged shooter has gained online. Several donations on GiveSendGo have been accompanied by messages from people expressing anger about the U.S. healthcare system and health insurers. One message from an anonymous donor who gave $100 read: “Luigi has shone a light on an important social issue. Healthcare insurers have been killing people for years with their policies. Why aren’t they charged with murder?” The group raising the funds identifies itself as the “December 4th Legal Committee” and it doesn’t appear to have any affiliation with Mangione. In its most recent update on Wednesday night, the fundraising group said it has written to Mangione informing him about the money raised for his legal defense and adds that if he doesn’t want the funds, it will be put “toward the defense of other political prisoners.” Was Luigi Mangione Reported Missing? Mangione’s mother, Kathleen Mangione, reported him missing to the San Francisco police last month. According to the San Francisco Standard, the missing person report was filed on Nov. 18 although it is unclear if Mangione was supposed to be present in the city when his mother filed the report. Although he was born and raised in Maryland, Kenny said he has “ties to San Francisco” and most recently resided in Honolulu. What Do We Know About Luigi Mangione’s Life At Penn? Mangione graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2020 with bachelor's and master's degrees in computer and information science, according to social media accounts appearing to belong to him and the university’s alumni database. The Daily Pennsylvanian—Penn’s student newspaper— reported that Mangione founded the school’s Game Research and Development Environment club and that he was inducted into the Eta Kappa Nu honor society for excellence in electrical and computer engineering before graduating in 2020.

A number of Mangione’s former classmates from the Gilman School told CBS News he was a “nice” kid, and one former classmate told The New York Times Mangione was “a big believer in the power of technology to change the world.” The Gilman School lists its tuition for 2024-25 high school students as $37,690 and describes its mission as working to “unlock the greatness within each boy by educating the entire boy — mind, body, and spirit.” What Do We Know About Luigi Mangione’s Time In Hawaii? In Honolulu, where police said Mangione’s last known address was, he was a member of a co-working space called Hub Coworking Hawaii, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported . Mangione would reportedly come and work at the location with his roommates from a nearby co-living space called Surfbreak. On its website, Surfbreak describes itself as a “co-living and co-working community for digital nomads and remote workers.” Surfbreak founder and CEO R.J. Martin expressed shock about Mangione’s arrest and told the Honolulu Civil Beat , “I loved this guy...In some ways I feel like my members are my kids.” According to the report, other residents of the co-living space described Mangione as a “natural leader” and said he helped found a book club in the community. Martin and another resident told the outlet that they had suggested the book club should read “Industrial Society and Its Future”—a book written by Unabomber Ted Kaczynski —as “a joke.” What Did Mangione Say About The Unabomber’s Book? A Goodreads account seeming to belong to Mangione gave the book a four-star review in January. The review written by the account—which was made private on Monday—said “It's easy to quickly and thoughtless write this off as the manifesto of a lunatic, in order to avoid facing some of the uncomfortable problems it identifies. But it's simply impossible to ignore how prescient many of his predictions about modern society turned out.” The review also quoted another person’s take about how “violence is necessary to survive.” The New York Times reported Tuesday that Mangione told a writer in England, Gurwinder Bhogal, he disapproved of the Unabomber’s actions, but Bhogal said Mangione “was fascinated by [the Unabomber’s] ideology, and shared his concerns about rampant consumerism gradually eroding our agency and alienating us from ourselves.” Are Mangione’s Social Media Accounts Still Up? Shortly after his arrest, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X and Goodreads accounts that may have belonged to him were discovered. He also appeared to be active on Reddit, writing about back pain issues, Forbes reported . Nearly all social media accounts with reported ties to Mangione had been switched to private or taken down by platforms—with one notable exception. Mangione’s account on X was briefly taken down Monday evening, but X owner Elon Musk said it was done “without his knowledge” and he was looking into it. Shortly after, the account was reinstated. Mangione’s X account—which has a cover photo featuring an apparent spinal injury—had almost 400,000 followers as of Wednesday morning. Mangione’s X account gained a blue checkmark Tuesday. Did Luigi Mangione Have A Youtube Account? A YouTube account with Mangione’s name posted a video Monday that said “If you see this, I’m already under arrest” and had a countdown that ended by hinting at more information or videos to be released Wednesday. YouTube confirmed to Forbes the page was not associated with Mangione, though, saying “the channel’s metadata was updated following widespread reporting of Luigi Mangione’s arrest, including updates made to the channel name and handle.” YouTube added it terminated three other accounts that were linked to Mangione, but said they hadn’t been active in more than seven months. What Do We Know About Mangione’s Health Issues? Mangione’s friends in Hawaii told various news outlets that he was suffering from a serious back problem that caused him significant pain. Mangione left Hawaii to get back surgery last year and then returned to Honolulu to rent an apartment. Surfbreak’s Martin told The New York Times that Mangione said his spine was misaligned and “said his lower vertebrae were almost like a half-inch off, and I think it pinched a nerve.” Martin added that Mangione had confided to him about not being able to date people because of his back problem as “being physically intimate with his back condition wasn’t possible.” Martin told the Times he texted Mangione after his surgery asking how it had gone and got the response “long story” without further details. Although the two had promised to catch up over the phone later, Mangione eventually went “ radio silent. ” An account on Reddit that is believed to have belonged to Mangione was active in the subreddit “r/spondylolisthesis,” where people discussed the condition in which vertebrae in the spine slip out of place. “When my spondy went bad on me last year (23M) it was completely devastating as a young athletic person,” the alleged Mangione account wrote, Forbes reported.

Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest. We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved.” Further Reading
