Man who appeared to fake his death and flee to the UK faces sentencing for Utah rape

October 19, 2025

A U.S. man who authorities say faked his death and fled to the United Kingdom to avoid rape charges is scheduled to be sentenced in Utah on Monday. It is the first sentence in two recent rape convictions for Nicholas Rossi. Rossi has gone by several aliases. His legal name is Nicholas Alahverdian. Authorities doubted an online obituary that claimed Rossi died in 2020. They arrested him in Scotland in 2021 for a 2008 rape in the Salt Lake City area. Rossi was convicted in August. Rossi also awaits sentencing on a September conviction for a raping a different woman in Utah around the same time in 2008.

To hit back at the United States in their trade war, China borrows from the US playbook

October 19, 2025

China has expanded its export rules on rare earths, requiring foreign firms to get approval for exporting products containing even small amounts of China-originated materials. This move mirrors the U.S.’s foreign direct product rule, which restricts China’s access to certain U.S. technologies. Experts say China is adopting U.S. strategies in trade disputes. Since 2018, China has developed laws and policies to retaliate in trade conflicts, similar to U.S. practices. These include the Unreliable Entity List and the Anti-Foreign Sanction Law. While these tools help China counter U.S. actions, they also risk escalating tensions.

George Santos says he’s humbled but dismisses ‘pearl clutching’ critics

October 19, 2025

Freed from the prison where he had been serving time for ripping off his campaign donors, former U.S. Rep. George Santos says he’s humbled by his experience behind bars.

Speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Santos said Sunday that if Trump “had pardoned Jesus Christ off the cross, he would have had critics.” Santos won office after inventing a bogus persona as a Wall Street dealmaker. He was serving a 7-year prison sentence for fraud and identity theft when Trump ordered him released him Friday.

October 19, 2025

Americans are increasingly worried about their ability to find a good job under President Donald Trump. That finding from an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs poll is a potential warning sign for the Republican president and his party as a promised economic boom is giving way to hiring freezes and higher prices.

The next major film studios could be in Nevada if some unions have their way

October 19, 2025

Trade unions in Nevada want the state to offer tax incentives to major film studios to bring more movie making to the Vegas area. They are pushing for lawmakers to pass a $95 million tax credit proposal as part of a planned special session. Major studios like Sony Pictures and Warner Bros. say they will build a production studio in the Vegas suburbs if the incentives are available. Nevada unions say it would bring badly needed jobs and attract more tourists to the state. Still, Nevada would have to compete with California and cities like Atlanta that already offer robust financial perks to movie studios.
