SUMMARY: Prince Harry and his legal team reached a last-minute settlement with Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers (NGN) over claims of unlawful activities, including phone hacking and surveillance. The settlement includes a full apology to Harry, though it ends his attempt to expose the publisher’s wrongdoings in court. The Duke of Sussex had sued NGN, accusing its journalists and private investigators of intruding into his private life, including actions related to his late mother, Princess Diana. The settlement also covers legal fees and damages. Harry’s decision to settle concludes his long-running legal battle against the publisher.

SUMMARY: Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, marking his return for a non-consecutive term. He took office amid impeachment trials, criminal charges, and assassination attempts, while Republicans gained unified control of Washington. Trump plans immediate action with executive orders on border control, fossil fuel expansion, and ending diversity programs. His inaugural address outlined a “new era” of national success and restoration. Due to cold weather, the ceremony was held indoors, and the inaugural parade was replaced with an arena event. Trump also attended a prayer service and met outgoing President Biden at the White House.
