Spain’s National Court said Friday it had charged a 74-year-old retired man with terrorism for allegedly sending six letters containing explosive material to Spain’s prime minister and the U.S. and Ukrainian embassies in the country.

The as-yet-unidentified man appeared before a judge in Madrid on Friday and was detained without bail, the court said. The suspect, referred to only by the initials PGP, was charged with six separate terrorism offenses, it added, after being arrested in the northern city of Miranda de Ebro on Wednesday.

The man was charged with the manufacture and use of explosive devices for terrorist purposes, according to court documents. Two of the alleged offenses were classified as aggravated as they involved members of the government.

Spanish media reported that the suspect had links to Russia, was strongly active on social media and was purportedly a flight risk.

The six letter bombs were sent in November and December last year and required bomb squad disposal. An employee at the Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid was slightly injured while handling one of the letters, and another was destroyed after being dispatched by regular post to Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

Letters with similar characteristics were sent to Spain’s Defense Ministry, a European Union satellite center located at the Torrejón de Ardoz air base outside Madrid and an arms factory in northeastern Spain that makes grenades sent to Ukraine.

An envelope intercepted at the U.S. Embassy’s security screening point in December was detonated by authorities after a wide area in the center of Spain's capital was cordoned off.

An ethics watchdog group on Friday asked the Office of Congressional Ethics investigate Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., for using footage from the Senate floor in an ad announcing his run for the Senate.

The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) sent a complaint to the OCE's chief counsel that asked for an immediate probe into whether Schiff "abused official resources for political purposes" by using the video.

Schiff announced Thursday that he's running for the Senate in 2024, via a video that was shared on his Twitter account. That video includes footage of Schiff speaking on the Senate floor during impeachment proceedings against former President Donald Trump.

"This is a clear violation of House ethics rules and federal law," said Kendra Arnold, executive director of FACT. "Rep. Schiff has been in Congress for over two decades and undoubtedly knows that official government resources cannot be used for political purposes. Rep. Schiff must immediately take down the video and cease distribution of the footage, and the Office of Congressional Ethics should move swiftly to investigate and sanction Rep. Schiff for this breach."

House members are prohibited from using House and Senate floor video for campaign purposes, according to FACT.

"Federal law states that 'appropriations shall be applied only to the objects for which the appropriations were made except as otherwise provided by law,'" the complaint said. "To enforce this law, the ethics rules prohibit members from using any official resource for campaign or political purposes. 'Official resources' includes anything funded by taxpayers, such as a member's official website, social media accounts, and photographs and video from the House or Senate floor."

"To make it abundantly clear," the complaint added, "both the House ethics rules and Senate rules specifically identify congressional video of floor proceedings as official resources that members are prohibited from using for political purposes."

Some journalists have speculated on social media that Schiff may have found a legal workaround by using third-party news footage of the Senate floor – in this case, footage from NBC.

PROGRESSIVE GROUP ATTACKS REP. ADAM SCHIFF FOR FAILED RECORD ON TRUMP FOLLOWING SENATE CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCEMENT

However, FACT argues House ethics rules clearly prohibit members from using either House or Senate video or photographs, because both are official government resources. This apparently includes footage or a photo of floor proceedings, even it was reposted from a third-party source, such as a news organization.

"Members may not re-use an image of a floor proceeding published by a third-party, if the member could not use that image in the first instance," the House Ethics Committee stated in a 2017 report.

The complaint makes the case that the rule is broad and prohibits members not only from using the video but also from reposting from sources or using video obtained from news outlets.

"This is an important rule because it not only protects taxpayer-funded resources from abuse, but it also protects the integrity of official proceedings by reducing the incentive for members to make political speeches during official proceedings," the complaint said. "One issue the House Ethics Manual acknowledges is the public perception that incumbents are simply using their office to run for re-election or to run for a higher office, and the reason for that perception is quite evident in Rep. Schiff's actions. Moreover, his use of official resources does not reflect credibly on the House."

Schiff's office didn't respond to a request for comment, nor did the Office of Congressional Ethics.

A woman who was seriously injured when the parked patrol car she was detained in was hit by a freight train filed a lawsuit against police on Thursday, accusing three officers of acting recklessly and failing in their duty to take care of her while she was in their custody.

Yareni Rios was handcuffed and put in the back of a patrol car that was parked on railroad tracks on Sept. 16, 2022. The lawsuit alleges that the train tracks were "plainly visible" to the arresting officer, Jordan Steinke, and she was standing on them as she put Rios inside the back seat on the driver's side of the patrol car belonging to Platteville Sgt. Pablo Vazquez.

Both Steinke, who was working for the Fort Lupton Police Department, and Vazquez, who is also named in the lawsuit, are being criminally prosecuted in the crash. A third officer who has not been criminally charged is accused in the lawsuit of failing to stop Rios from being put in the patrol car on the tracks and for not trying to help her escape when he heard the train approaching.

COLORADO WOMAN LEFT HANDCUFFED IN POLICE CAR STRUCK BY TRAIN TO FACE CHARGE: REPORT

The passenger's side back door had been left open and Rios, previously identified by authorities as Yareni Rios-Gonzalez, screamed for help and tried to get out after hearing the train, the lawsuit said. However, she was not able to get out of the caged-in back seat because it is designed to prevent suspects from escaping, it said.

Rios was arrested after a report of an alleged road rage incident involving a gun before the crash and has since been charged with felony menacing.

Lawyers for Steinke and Vazquez did not immediately return telephone calls seeking comment. The Platteville and Fort Lupton police departments, which are also named in the lawsuit, did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

According to the lawsuit, as the train approached, Vazquez and Steinke were focused on searching Rios' truck, not the train, which was captured on a police body camera. About 30 seconds after the train hit the patrol car’s passenger side going about 50 mph. Vazquez asked if Rios was inside, and she said "Oh my God, yes, she was!", it said.

Following the crash, Vazquez told other officers on body camera footage made public that he thought he had cleared the tracks when he parked his patrol vehicle behind Rios’ truck to arrest her. He said he was focused on her because he was concerned about weapons.

Vazquez also said he did not know that the other officer he was working with, identified in the lawsuit as Steinke, had put Rios in his patrol vehicle until after it was hit by the train. He said the "saving grace" was that Rios was put on the wrong side of the vehicle.

The 2023 Ford Bronco Everglades is all wet, at least that’s what it was designed to be.

The new SUV trim is equipped with features that make it especially suitable for its namesake locale and similar soggy environments.

It only comes as a four-door with the Bronco’s entry-level 300 hp 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine at a starting price of $55,490.

REVIEW: THE 2022 FORD BRONCO RAPTOR IS THE ‘ULTRA’ SUV

That price puts it near the top of the 10-model lineup, just two spots below the high performance Bronco Raptor. The Raptor is the Everglade’s polar opposite and designed for dune-bashing in the desert, although they are both fine for the snow.

The Everglades features the Bronco’s Sasquatch package that includes 35-inch mud-terrain tires, an upgraded off-road suspension and front and rear locking differentials for the standard four-wheel-drive system.

A decal depicting the cryptid wading through water hints at the Everglades' ability to go 36.4 inches deep, which is about half its height. Raised vents for the axles, the two-speed transfer case and the 10-speed automatic transmission help it achieve this capability, but the truck’s signature feature is located even higher up.

Not the roof rack, but a snorkel the engine breathes through that runs up the passenger side windshield pillar to keep the intake system from sucking in splashing water. It can also be reversed to face the rear, which does the same for dust on dry dirt roads if following another vehicle.

The Bronco’s doors are removable, but well-sealed when installed, so they will keep the interior dry for short stints as a semi-submersible. In case there are any leaks, or if you leave the removable hardtop roof off in the rain, the seats are upholstered in marine grade vinyl and the uncarpeted washout floor has drains.

I wasn’t able to get to Florida with our test truck, but did spend a day with in on the wet and wild trails of New Jersey’s Pine Barrens, where it proved its worth in the muck.

The engine is more than powerful enough to dig through the sloppiest stuff and the Bronco’s G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Terrain) drive mode selector can optimize the drivetrain and traction control for a variety of surfaces that includes mud, if not specifically mud covered in half a fathom of water.

One bonus the snorkel brings is that it lets you hear the chirps and whistles of the engine’s turbocharger system through it. The motor’s sounds are otherwise uninteresting, but it is quiet while cruising on pavement, where wind and road noise take over thanks to the Bronco’s boxy shape and knobby tires. They also do not help its fuel economy, which is 17 mpg on the highway and 18 mpg in the city, if the urban jungle is more your thing.

The Everglades amphibious aspirations do not make it any less of a 4x4 on dirt and rocks, but there are two features you cannot get that are available on some other Bronco models. One is a detachable front sway bar that gives the independent front suspension extra articulation at low speeds and the other a 360-degree camera, which has a live front trail view that’s very handy for navigating tricky terrain. Instead, the Everglades gets a factory-installed 10,000-pound Warn winch that was designed specifically for the Bronco and has been crash-tested with it.

It can be used to pull the truck out of sticky situations and uses a synthetic line that is lighter than steel and will not cause as much damage if it snaps while under tension. It is also a good fit for the Everglades, offering corrosion resistance and the ability to float on water, but the winch uses a wired controller that keeps the operator tethered close to the vehicle or in it.

The Everglades may not come with everything but the kitchen sink, but it comes close and is definitely the Bronco you want if you're about to sink.

Wisconsin Secretary of State Doug La Follette is helping to pay for a new plaque to be installed Friday in the state Capitol honoring one of Wisconsin's most famous politicians who is also a distant relative of the longtime officeholder.

The bust of Robert "Fighting Bob" La Follette has a prominent place on the first floor of the Capitol Rotunda, but it bears only his name and no explanation of who he was. Doug La Follette, who was reelected in November to his 11th consecutive term as secretary of state, said he walked by it for 30 years without realizing there was no plaque.

Finally, La Follette said the omission dawned on him and he decided to do something about it.

WI CANDIDATES MAKE FINAL CASES TO VOTERS WITH ELECTION ONLY A DAY AWAY

La Follette, 82, won approval for the idea from a committee that oversees the Capitol, on the condition that he raise the $2,700 to pay for it. La Follette said Friday he raised $1,200 but he intends to cover the rest of the cost.

"If the state government can't afford a couple thousand dollars for the most important political figure in our history, whatever," La Follette said in an interview. "That's water under the bridge. ... I'm quite willing to make up the difference."

WISCONSIN ROBBERS HOLD UP ARMORED TRUCK OUTSIDE BANK, POLICE SAY

La Follette said he is a first cousin twice removed of the former governor and 1924 Progressive Party presidential candidate — a party he founded. "Fighting Bob" La Follette was governor from 1901 to 1906, served six years in the U.S. House and just over 19 years in the U.S. Senate. He died in office in 1925.

A state Capitol worker installed the plaque Friday, but it will be kept under wraps until the Monday unveiling. A mockup of the plaque that La Follette revealed last year described "Fighting Bob" as "a founder of the progressive movement and champion of the ‘Wisconsin Idea.’"

"From now on, everybody visiting the Capitol will know who the man was," La Follette said.

India will receive 12 cheetahs from South Africa next month that will join eight others it received from Namibia in September as part of an ambitious plan to reintroduce the cats in the country after 70 years.

India plans to transport an additional 12 annually for the next eight to 10 years as part of an agreement signed by the two African countries, India’s Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change said Friday.

Cheetah populations in most countries are declining. South Africa, where the cats are running out of space, is an exception.

INDIA TO REINTRODUCE CHEETAHS, 6 DECADES AFTER THEY DISAPPEARED FROM THE COUNTRY'S GRASSLANDS

South Africa’s National Biodiversity Institute, National Parks, the Cheetah Range Expansion Project and the Endangered Wildlife Trust will collaborate with their Indian counterparts, the ministry said in a statement.

The eight cheetahs flown from Namibia in September were released in sprawling Kuno National Park in central India.

TOP 10 FASTEST LAND ANIMALS

Cheetahs were once widespread in India but disappeared by 1952 because of hunting and loss of habitat.

India hopes that importing African cheetahs will aid efforts to conserve the country’s threatened and largely neglected grasslands.

There are fewer than 7,000 adult cheetahs in the wild globally, and they now inhabit less than 9% of their original range. Shrinking habitat, due to the increasing human population and climate change, is a huge threat.

A former New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department employee has been sentenced to nearly eight years in prison for wire fraud, identity theft and money laundering.

Federal prosecutors said 46-year-old George Martinez also was ordered by a judge Wednesday to pay more than $1.2 million in restitution.

Martinez, of Albuquerque, was given a 94-month sentence after pleading guilty in July to 42 counts each of wire fraud and identity theft and six counts of money laundering.

BILL TO ABOLISH THE IRS LIKELY DEAD IN THE HOUSE, GOP LAWMAKER PREDICTS

Prosecutors said Martinez used his position as the unit supervisor/bureau chief of the Questionable Refund Unit at the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department to fraudulently alter tax refunds and direct them to bank accounts that he controlled from 2009 until July 2018.

They said Martinez copied tax returns that had already been processed or created new returns in taxpayers’ accounts.

Martinez was accused of altering information such as taxpayers’ Social Security numbers, bank account numbers and withholding amounts in the returns. By changing the withholding amounts, authorities said he increased the amounts of the refunds.

U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) surveillance footage captured the moment when David DePape, 42, allegedly entered the Pelosi family's San Francisco home to attack the former House speaker's husband, Paul Peelosi. 

Fox News Digital obtained USCP surveillance footage released by California Judge Stephen Murphy on Friday that shows DePape allegedly going into former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's home to attack Paul Pelosi.

The footage shows DePape scoping out the glass door he allegedly broke to get into the home before disappearing and coming back with two bags, pulling an object out of the smaller bag and moving it into the larger bag.

PAUL PELOSI VIDEO SHOWS HAMMER ATTACK AFTER POLICE ARRIVE

DePape then appears to retrieve a hammer and use it to break through the glass door to gain entry into the Pelosis' home.

DePape appeared to be wearing a sweatshirt, shorts, and running shoes when entering the home through a glass door, as the indictment read.

The Oct. 28, 2022, attack sent Paul Pelosi, 82, to the hospital for emergency surgery on a skull fracture.

One portion of the released police footage shows police knocking on the door of Pelosi's home, before the door opens to reveal Paul Pelosi and suspect David DePape. 

"What's going on man?" an officer asks.

"Everything is good," DePape responds as he and Pelosi each have one hand on a hammer, with DePape also placing a hand on Pelosi's wrist. Pelosi appears to be holding an object in his other hand.

"Drop the hammer!" the officer then says.

"Umm, nope," DePape then responds, before wrestling the hammer away from Pelosi and swinging it at him.

"Oh, s---!" one of the officers says as police burst into the home and apprehend DePape.

David DePape, Paul Pelosi's accused attacker, has pleaded not guilty to all state charges in the case, including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse. He also has pleaded not guilty to federal charges of assaulting an immediate family member of a federal official and attempted kidnapping of a federal officer for the alleged home invasion.

Murphy ruled the district attorney's office must make the materials public, denying prosecutors' request to keep it secret. The released material will include police bodycam footage of the attack, 911 audio calls and U.S. Capitol Police surveillance video.

In addition to the footage, the California court also ordered investigative materials to be released, including San Francisco Police Department interviews with David DePape, the alleged assailant.

Multiple news organizations, including Fox News, made a motion seeking the release of footage from the Oct. 28 attack, but the San Francisco District Attorney's office had refused to do so.

PAUL PELOSI ATTACK VIDEO TO BE RELEASED FRIDAY

The district attorney's office claimed making the footage public would amplify the spread of misinformation around the attack.

News organizations argued releasing the footage was in the public interest and would enable the media to debunk false information spreading on the internet about the attack.

Judge Murphy sided with the media, declaring that there was no reason to keep the footage secret after it was aired by the prosecution at last month's hearing, Thomas Burke, an attorney representing news agencies in the matter, told The Associated Press.

DePape pleaded not guilty last month to six charges, including attempted murder. Police have said DePape told them there was "evil in Washington" and he wanted to harm Nancy Pelosi because she was second in line to the presidency. His case is pending.

Fox News Digital's Greg Norman and Chris Pandolfo contributed reporting.

A man was shot and killed Thursday after he pointed a handgun at Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies, authorities said.

The man was shot shortly after 5:30 a.m. in the Los Angeles suburb of Maywood, the Sheriff's Department said in a statement.

Detectives with an anti-gang unit were serving a search warrant at a home when a man inside became "verbally aggressive," got a gun and told deputies standing outside to get away from the residence, the department said.

"Deputies attempted to de-escalate the situation by explaining to him that he was not the focus of their presence at the location," the statement said.

The man went to an open side door, holding the gun pointed toward the ceiling, then he walked to the threshold and pointed the gun at deputies, authorities said.

He was shot several times and died at the scene. His name wasn't immediately released.

Other details of the confrontation weren't immediately released.

A loaded gun was recovered at the scene, authorities said.

A California court on Friday released surveillance and bodycam video of the October 2022 attack on Paul Pelosi, husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, at their San Francisco home. 

The San Francisco County Superior Court made the footage public after Judge Stephen Murphy denied a request two days earlier by prosecutors to keep it secret. 

The Oct. 28, 2022, attack sent Paul Pelosi, 82, to the hospital for emergency surgery on a skull fracture.

One portion of the footage shows police knocking on the door of Pelosi's home, before the door opens to reveal Paul Pelosi and suspect David DePape.

"What's going on man?" an officer asks.

"Everything is good," DePape responds as he and Pelosi each have one hand on a hammer, with DePape also placing a hand on Pelosi's wrist. Pelosi appears to be holding an object in his other hand.

"Drop the hammer!" the officer then says.

"Umm, nope," DePape then responds, before wrestling the hammer away from Pelosi and swinging it at him.

"Oh, s---!" one of the officers says as police burst into the home and apprehend DePape.

Another clip, taken in black and white, showed DePape approaching the Pelosis' San Francisco house and dropping multiple bags onto the ground. He then rummaged through the bags before he apparently pulled a hammer out of his clothing and started swinging at a glass door, eventually entering the home.

DePape, 42, has pleaded not guilty to all state charges in the case, including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse. He also has pleaded not guilty to federal charges of assaulting an immediate family member of a federal official and attempted kidnapping of a federal officer for the alleged home invasion.

FEDERAL INDICTMENT REVEALS WHAT PAUL PELOSI ATTACK SUSPECT WAS WEARING WHEN POLICE ARRIVED

Rep. Nancy Pelosi was in Washington, D.C., at the time of the incident.

Fox News was among the news organizations pushing for the video’s release. 

When San Francisco police arrived at the home around 2:30 a.m., they found Pelosi in his pajamas and the intruder wearing shorts, sneakers and a sweatshirt, according to court filings.

The encounter lasted just 15 seconds from when Pelosi opened the door for officers to when the hammer attack took place, according to a filing.

"The two officers opened the door to see the foyer of the Pelosi Residence, Mr. Pelosi, wearing a long-sleeved shirt, DEPAPE in shorts, running shoes and a sweatshirt, and DEPAPE and Mr. Pelosi jointly gripping a hammer," an indictment read.

The attack caused Pelosi to suffer a skull fracture and other injuries, according to authorities.

Police called an ambulance to treat Pelosi, who was bleeding from a head wound.

Investigators also said that DePape researched homes of Pelosi and two other targets on an alleged hit list two days before breaking into the House Speaker’s $8 million hilltop Pacific Heights mansion.

Officers from the U.S. Capitol Police also had live video surveillance outside the Pelosi's San Francisco residence, but weren't watching it when DePape allegedly attacked Paul Pelosi, sources told Fox News shortly after the incident.

The officers were monitoring a live-feed of many cameras, which include surveillance of the capitol complex, but also monitor some points away from the capitol, which include the Pelosi residence.

According to sources, an officer was monitoring the feeds and saw police lights on a dark street outside the Pelosi's residence. If the officers were watching the feed monitoring in real-time, the break-in would have been seen.

Fox News' Michael Ruiz, Adam Sabes, Chad Pregram and Michael Arroyo contributed to this report.

Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn "CJ" Davis said the video of Memphis police officers beating Tyre Nichols earlier this month is perhaps worse than the infamous Rodney King footage.

"I was in law enforcement during the Rodney King incident and it’s – you know, very much aligned with that same type of behavior," she told CNN's Don Lemon. "I would say it is about the same if not worse."

King was beaten by a group of Los Angeles Police Department officers in 1991 in an attack that was captured on civilian video. The attack later spawned the 1992 Los Angeles riots, which resulted in dozens of deaths, after a jury acquitted or couldn't reach a verdict for excessive force on the officers involved. 

Memphis police say they pulled over Nichols on Jan. 7 around 8:30 p.m. for "reckless driving" near Raines Road and Ross Road in Memphis. A "confrontation occurred" during the stop, at which point Nichols ran away from police on foot. Officers pursued the 29-year-old and attempted to apprehend him, police said, and they said an ambulance was called when he complained of shortness of breath. He died at the hospital on Jan. 10.

CITIES PREP FOR VIOLENCE AHEAD OF TYRE NICHOLS VIDEO RELEASE

Nichols family attorneys said Tuesday that following an independent autopsy on Nichols’ body carried out by a "highly regarded, nationally renowned forensic pathologist," preliminary findings indicated that "Tyre suffered extensive bleeding caused by a severe beating." They also said Nichols’ "observed injuries are consistent with what the family and attorneys witnessed on the video of his fatal encounter with police on Jan. 7, 2023."

The five officers involved – Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills, Jr. and Justin Smith – were fired after an internal review of their actions, and they now face second-degree murder charges, along with several other felonies.

"I was outraged," Davis said. "It was incomprehensible to me. It was unconscionable. And I felt that I needed to do something and do something quickly. I don’t think I witnessed anything of that nature in my entire career."

"It was that bad," she added.

Davis said she planned to release the entire video on YouTube so it would be accessible to the public. She has pleaded with Memphis citizens not to react violently when they see the footage of the attack, encouraging them to protest if they felt it necessary but to do so peacefully.

She described the video as showing acts that "defy humanity" and violated the sworn duty of care for police officers. She said they failed to de-escalate the situation in a proper manner and called the officers' aggression to him "unexplainable." 

TYRE NICHOLS VIDEO: POLICE CHIEF WARNS MEMPHIS NOT TO REACT VIOLENTLY AFTER BODY CAM FOOTAGE RELEASE

Asked by Lemon if Nichols cried out for his mother in the video, Davis said he did. 

"That is why this incident, not just that, but just the disregard for humanity as I mentioned before. I think that is what really just pulls at your heartstrings," she said. "And it makes you wonder why was a sense of care and concern for this individual just absent from this situation, all who went to the scene."

She said she had spoken to Nichols' family and felt their sense of pain.

"The policy for the Memphis Police Department requires officers to intervene and stop excessive force and report these incidents immediately. Did anyone on that video, will we see that, did anyone do that or will we see that on that video at all?" Lemon asked.

"You will not see that on that video," Davis said.

AFTER CNN GUEST QUESTIONS WHETHER ATLANTA RIOT'S PROPERTY DESTRUCTION COUNTS AS VIOLENCE, AMERICANS WEIGH IN

She also said that paramedics who were on the scene did not render proper care, saying "they just stood by."

"They began to render care and concern but it was long after several minutes. And which was, you know, concerning for all of us that we see a number of failures where individuals did not exercise the amount of care that we are responsible for, no matter what – no matter what the cause is. We’re responsible for exercising care," she said.

Lemon noted the officers involved in the deadly incident are Black, asking her what she made of that.

"It takes off the table that issues and problems in law enforcement is about race," she said. "And it is not. It is about human dignity and integrity, accountability, and the duty to protect our community. And as this video will show you, it doesn’t matter who is wearing the uniform, that we all have that same responsibility. So it takes race off the table. But it does indicate to me that bias might be a factor also in the manner in which we engage the community."

A Florida woman has been arrested and is facing federal charges after allegedly scamming a Holocaust survivor out of millions of dollars.

In a Wednesday press release the Justice Department alleged that 36-year-old Peaches Stergo defrauded an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor from New York out of $2.8 million, the victim’s life savings, as part of a scheme where she faked a romantic interest in him and depleted his accounts. 

"As alleged, for years, Stergo deceived an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor, maliciously draining his life savings so she could become a millionaire through fraud," Damian Williams, United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in the press release. 

"Stergo forged documents and impersonated a bank employee in exchange for a life of fancy trips, Rolex watches, and luxury purchases. Today’s arrest reemphasizes this Office’s commitment to seeking justice for victims of financial frauds."

The indictment alleges that Stergo engaged in the scheme from 2017 to 2021 after meeting the victim seven years ago on a dating site and asked to borrow money to pay her lawyer for an injury settlement case that never existed.

Additionally, Stergo allegedly demanded that the victim write 62 checks to deposit into various accounts belonging to Stergo while she used the money to live a life of luxury.

"While the Victim lost his life savings and was forced to give up his apartment, STERGO lived a life of luxury with the millions she received from the fraud: she bought a home in a gated community, a condominium, a boat, and numerous cars, including a Corvette and a Suburban," the press release states. 

"During the course of the fraud, STERGO also took expensive trips, staying at places like the Ritz Carlton, and spent many tens of thousands of dollars on expensive meals, gold coins and bars, jewelry, Rolex watches, and designer clothing from stores like Tiffany, Ralph Lauren, Neiman Marcus, Louis Vuitton, and Hermes."

Stergo has been charged with one count of wire fraud which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Brad Pitt and George Clooney stepped out looking better than ever on the set of their new movie "Wolves" in New York City.

The 59-year-old "Babylon" actor and the 61-year-old "Ticket to Paradise" star were spotted filming the upcoming Apple TV+ thriller at a drive-in hotel in Harlem on Tuesday night.

The co-stars and close friends appeared to be enjoying working together again as they were seen flashing wide smiles and laughing while shooting a scene in a car.

The two wore similar ensembles that consisted of black leather jackets and gray pants with black shoes.

BRAD PITT AND GEORGE CLOONEY STEP OUT IN NEW YORK CITY, REUNITE FOR NEW MOVIE

Written, produced and directed by Jon Watts, the film follows "two lone-wolf fixers assigned to the same job," per Deadline. Pitt and Clooney will also produce through their production companies Plan B and Smoke House Pictures. The outlet reported on Thursday that Academy Award nominee Amy Ryan has joined the cast.

"Wolves" marks another on-screen reunion for the pair, who previously co-starred in the "Ocean's" film trilogy and the 2008 crime comedy "Burn After Reading."

Pitt and Clooney teamed up for the first time in 2001's "Ocean's Eleven," when they were 38 and 40 respectively.

Over their decades-long careers, the actors have cemented their status as two of Hollywood's most legendary leading men. Both stars have received numerous accolades for their work including two Academy Awards and four Golden Globe Awards for Clooney and two Academy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards and one Emmy Award for Pitt.

In addition to critical acclaim, fans have long marveled over the two's enduring good looks. Whether due to lifestyle choices, diet, exercise, skincare, genetics or a combination of several factors, Pitt and Clooney have set a gold standard for aging gracefully in Hollywood.

Over the years, the two have shed some light on how they have maintained their youthful appearances. Here's a look at the age-defying secrets of Pitt, Clooney and other A-list stars.

Widely regarded as one of the most handsome men in the world, Pitt only seems to improve with age.

The actor has spoken out about maintaining his physique through regular exercise and clean eating in between more intense training for his movie roles including "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood," "Snatch" "Troy," "Fury" and "Fight Club."

Veteran stunt coordinator Greg Rementer, who worked with Pitt on his 2022 action film "Bullet Train," told Men's Journal that the actor continues to defy his age by throwing himself fully into grueling months of training before beginning production on a new project.

"Brad wanted to do majority of the stunts himself, which isn’t always the case," Rementer told the outlet. "For him it was possible because not only is he a great comedic actor, but he’s also a physically gifted athlete."

As for his skincare routine, Pitt embodies the old saying, "aging like a fine wine." Last September, he debuted his wine-inspired skincare line Le Domaine, which he created in partnership with the French winemaking Perrin family, who are also his partners in his winery Chateau Miraval. 

The Le Domaine line, which promises to slow the aging process, consists of a cleansing emulsion, a serum and a face cream that include grapevine-derived ingredients.

In a September interview with Vogue, Pitt said that he wouldn't have attempted to launch a skincare line if he had not experienced noticeable results himself.

"I get sent stuff all the time and… ugh. It’s just all the same for me," he said. "But this last year we have been testing Le Domaine and I was really surprised by the results, and that for me, made it worth going forward."

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" star also shared his thoughts on the pressures of aging in Hollywood.

"I don’t want to be running from aging," he said. "It’s a concept we can’t escape, and I would like to see our culture embracing it a bit more, talking about it in those terms."

He continued, "Something we discussed [in founding Le Domaine] was this headline of 'anti-aging'. It's ridiculous. It’s a fairytale. But what is real is treating your skin in a healthy manner. And it’s something I’ve learnt to do for my business, but it kinda makes you feel better."

"I grew up with a country mentality, kind of you know, Dial Soap once a day and then move on. And I think that we’re learning that if we love ourselves, if we treat ourselves a little better, then there are long lasting benefits to that. So just age healthy, age in a healthy manner."

Clooney is the world's most attractive man, according to a study conducted by London's Centre For Advanced Facial Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery in 2017.

Through the process of digital face mapping, the "Up in the Air" star's face was found to be 91.86% accurate to the Greek Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi, an ancient measure of physical perfection.

Clooney, whose good looks have stood the test of time, has spoken out about embracing natural aging. In a 2015 interview with BBC radio, he explained why he refuses to get plastic surgery or dye his signature salt and pepper hair.

"For me, it’s never been an issue or an option," Clooney said.

He continued, "I don’t think it would make much sense. I’ve seen it happen, and particularly on men I don’t think it works very well. I think it actually makes you look older. I’m a big believer in the idea that you can’t try to look younger — you can just try to look the best you can at the age you are."

Clooney has previously revealed that he follows a very simple skincare routine. 

"I hit the spa and I enjoy steam rooms, but I really don’t use any specific product," he told the Mirror in 2010. 

"Just a good Ivory soap will do."

The "Good Night and Good Luck" star has shared that he enjoys staying active by doing Bikram yoga and playing tennis.

At a 2020 press conference, Clooney revealed that he had given up playing basketball, one of his longtime favorite hobbies.

"I stopped hooping three years ago," he said, according to CinemaBlend.

He continued, "I was having dinner with President Obama, who I used to play with, and he said he'd stopped playing ball a couple of years ago."

"It's nuts because I'd always said… I was 55, and I'd say, 'I'm going to be playing until I'm 80!' I played like a 25-year-old. But it was one last, like, roll my ankle, get my tooth chipped, get my eye socket cracked with an elbow, and I was like, 'You know? I've had enough. I'll play tennis, and just switch it up'"

In 2018, Clooney told People magazine that he, his wife Amal and their 5-year-old twins Alexander and Ella regularly eat healthy, homemade meals prepared by their personal chef Vivianna Frizzi from Lake Como, Italy.

He told the outlet that Frizzi "can make anything, including handmade gnocchi with pesto that would make you cry."

Other favorites meals include Italian, Lebanese and Indian dishes, a weekly pizza night and sushi.

Tom Cruise continues to turn back the clock on aging while performing some of the most death-defying stunts in cinematic history.

Last summer, the 60-year-old actor reprised his role as Pete "Maverick" Mitchell in the box-office smash "Top Gun: Maverick." Cruise originated the role of Maverick when he was 24-years-old in 1986's "Top Gun," but he has managed to maintain his youthful appearance over the intervening 36 years.

In the meantime, he has headlined major action blockbusters including six "Mission Impossible" films, "War of the Worlds,""Oblivion" and "Edge of Tomorrow."

The action star continues to perform all of his own stunts. Last December, he released a featurette from his upcoming movie "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One," during which he revealed how he and his team pulled off the "most dangerous stunt" he's ever attempted.

In the stunt, Cruise rides a motorcycle off a cliff and then base jumps into a ravine. He underwent a year of base jump and motocross training during which his trainers said he performed over 13,000 jumps and over 500 skydives.

In the past, Cruise has credited his youthful appearance to his passion for sports and physical activity.

TOM CRUISE PARACHUTES OFF A MOUNTAIN WHILE FILMING 'MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 8'

"Sea-kayaking, caving, fencing, treadmill, weights, rock-climbing, hiking… I jog… I do so many different activities," he has said, according to E! Online.

The actor travels with a gym that he refers to as the "Pain Cave" to every film set. "Only the motivated can enter," he told The Associated press. "All you got to do is just be motivated. Anyone can come in, we have the crew come in, and we just make it available to everyone."

Cruise also follows a strict 1200 calorie a day diet that consists mostly of vegetables and lean protein, which was devised by his friend and professional soccer player David Beckham, according to Men's Health.

The outlet also reported that Cruise prefers grilled foods and never eats fried food. According to E! News, he also eats small, healthy snacks throughout the day that are prepared by his personal chef.

During a 2018 appearance on "The Late, Late Show", the "Knight and Day" star said that he no longer eats sugar.

"I love sugar, but I can't eat it because when I'm training, I'm doing all these movies—so I send it to everyone," he said. "And then, "I wait for the calls. Like, 'tell me about it.'"

Rob Lowe is known for his eternally youthful appearance, which he has attributed to cutting out bad habits earlier in life.

The 58-year-old actor, who rose to fame as a teen idol as a member of the "Brat Pack" in the 1980s, told Today in 2018 that he quit drinking in his 20s.

"When I was in my mid-20s it was: I’ve got to stop drinking," the "St. Elmo's Fire" alum said. "Then it became, ‘I need to find a workout that I love, following by starting to eat better, and cutting out things like sugar.’"

He continued "You get to that point in your life where you realize you’ve got to stop eating like you’re in college."

"Each year just requires a little bit more discipline and focus as I get older."

Lowe, who became a celebrity spokesman for the Atkins Diet in 2018, told the outlet that he adopted a low-carb lifestyle decades ago but does not diet.

"I enjoy eating well because it gives me more energy," Lowe said. "Don’t get me wrong, I still love pasta and pizzas. But I know that they’re a special treat. In my business, I don’t have the option to not be at my best. So, I just make healthy choices most of the time. I never diet."

The Virginia native also explained that he frequently exercises and draws inspirations for new routines from professional athletes and other stars.

"I’m always doing some activity and trying to steal from other people’s lifestyles," he said.

ROB LOWE CELEBRATES 31 YEARS OF SOBRIETY: 'I WANT TO GIVE THANKS'

 "I love reading what Tom Brady is up to or what The Rock is doing. It keeps things fresh."

Lowe is also passionate about skincare and launched his own line Profile Cobalt, in partnership with the Wounded Warriors Project, in 2019. During a 2021 interview with The Manual, Lowe said that he started the line because he wanted to encourage young men, including his own sons, to take care of their skin.

"I have sons who are in their 20s," he said, "and we talk about this all the time. Being in show business, I always had professionals doing things to me that I wouldn’t have done myself when I was that age; moisturizing, cleaning my face properly, and applying sunscreen. Turns out doing all that stuff pays off when you’re older." 

In 2017, Lowe reflected on his secret to staying young in an interview with Men's Journal.

"There is this drive that I have that I think is the real reason I feel and look as vibrant as ever," he said. 

"I don’t let it go away. This is more of what I consider an ‘inside job,’ combined with a fairly athletic existence."

John Stamos is another star whose baby-faced good looks only seem to improve with age.

The 59-year-old actor told E! News in 2015 that he owes much of his youthful appearance to good genes.

"I'm lucky. My parents did well; they looked good," Stamos said. "But I'm telling you, one day I'm not going to look so good, so I'm going to prep people for that," he quipped.

In a 2016 interview, the "Full House" star reflected on how his fitness regimen has changed over the years. "In the 1980s and ‘90s, I spent a lot of time in the gym working out for a bigger body or big arms," he recalled.

The two-time Emmy nominee went on to say that he now enjoys Pilates and swimming. 

"They give me that lean look and strengthen my core," Stamos said. "I fit workouts around my schedule. I do Pilates about three days a week, using the Reformer and other machines, as well as doing floor work and a lot of stretching. I swim laps three days a week and do a lot of push-ups and pull-ups. For cardio I run up and down a hill."

JOHN STAMOS HELPS LA SHERIFF'S RECRUITS INJURED IN WRONG-WAY CRASH

The "ER" star also explained that he makes sure to get enough sleep.

"I think sleep is the key to looking young, and I make sure to get a good eight hours every night," he said. "I believe that earlier sleep, before midnight, is better. 

He continued, "It has been for me. I try to get to sleep by 9 or 10. I love the mornings and get up very early to read and meditate. I feel recalibrated at that time and that I can take on the day.... If I eat well, feel good and have had enough sleep, I can deal with stress and then let it go."

The California native, who is of Greek descent, has said that he follows the Mediterranean diet, which consists of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, seafood, beans and nuts.

Stamos went viral in 2016 when he shared the "secret weapon" behind his youthful face. The actor posted a photo on Instagam in which he was seen wearing the Bioxidea Miracle 24 Face Mask for Men.

"#SecretWeapon No more Greek yogurt facials, @bioxideausa all the way," he wrote in the caption.

In March of that year, Stamos jokingly offered a more unconventional explanation for his ageless looks. During a segment on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," he was asked what advice he would give his younger self.

"Hey, little John. You will have a fantastic life as long as you make sure you do one thing," Stamos said. 

"Now, on your 18th birthday, the Prince of Darkness – Satan – will offer you eternal youth in exchange for your soul. Little John, I’m telling you right now: You take that deal, son."

A Colorado family is suing an assisted-living facility alleging their 97-year-old loved one "froze to death" outside of her building last year despite being seen on surveillance footage "banging on the glass panes of the French doors located directly adjacent to the nurses’ station for help." 

The wrongful death lawsuit filed on behalf of the family of Mary Jo Staub says the "beloved mother and grandmother" became trapped outside the Balfour at Lavender Farms facility in Louisville in frigid temperatures around 12:40 a.m. on Feb. 26, 2022, but nobody working there found her body until more than five hours later. 

"Assisted living facilities are supposed to provide protective oversight for our elderly loved ones," Elizabeth Hart, an attorney representing Staub’s family, told Fox News Digital in a statement. "The Staub family wants to ensure this doesn’t happen to any other member of this vulnerable population." 

Balfour Senior Living did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital. The lawsuit is seeking a jury trial. 

LOUISIANA NURSING HOME OWNER FACES NEW LAWSUIT IN HURRICANE IDA EVACUATION 

The filing states that in 2019, Staub became "unable to live independently" and that her care needs at Balfour at Lavender Farms – located near Boulder – increased over time. 

The day before her death, Staub was observed by a staff member there as being "confused and hallucinating" and needed reassurance from them to make sure nobody was inside her apartment, where she had claimed she had seen people "hissing" at her, according to the lawsuit. 

"Sometime before 12:40 a.m. on February 26, 2022, Mary Jo wandered outside the Lavender Farms facility with the assistance of her walker and was immediately locked out," the lawsuit stated. "The temperature was well below freezing. She was locked outside wearing only pajamas, a robe, boots, and gloves. 

SECOND EMPLOYEE ARRESTED FOR PART IN DRUG OVERDOSE DEATH AT SOUTH CAROLINA CARE FACILITY 

"Once locked out, Mary Jo tried to walk around the northwest side of the building toward the nurses’ station for help. Using her walker, she trudged through the snow and climbed a snow mound," the lawsuit added. "At some point, she abandoned her walker and injured her ankle. She continued, crawling on her hands and knees 75 feet to the exit immediately adjacent to the nurses’ station. She left a blood trail in the snow marking her path of travel." 

The lawsuit alleges that Staub "could have been seen by anyone walking inside the facility near or past the glass-paned French doors adjacent to the vacant nurses’ station," but nobody was in that area "between 12:18 a.m. and 5:51 a.m." and "no one at Lavender Farms was monitoring the security cameras that night." 

The filing says Staub collapsed on the freezing concrete around 1:40 a.m. and that her body moved "slightly while laid down over the next four hours" until it "went still." 

Temperatures in Louisville during that time were observed to be around 15 degrees. 

Following the death, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment investigated the property and issued eight citations, according to CBS News Colorado. 

"We are deeply saddened by this tragic event that never should have happened. As soon as we were notified, we sent experts to the facility to investigate what occurred and ensure the safety of other residents," Elaine McManis, the director of its Health Facilities and Emergency Medical Services Division, told the station. "Where we found deficiencies, we required the facility to quickly make changes, and closely monitored the facility until it completed all corrective actions." 

The department, when asked this week by Fox News Digital what those "corrective actions" were, did not respond.

Colleges across America are banning access to TikTok on university-owned Wi-Fi networks as national security concerns with the Chinese-owned company's app.

The actions against TikTok that have been taken by colleges largely in response to executive orders coming from several governors in America.

During a speech to the University of Michigan’s Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy on Dec. 2, FBI Director Christopher Wray said that Chinese officials have broad access to TikTok, which allows them to "manipulate content, and if they want to, to use it for influence operations."

"All of these things are in the hands of a government that doesn’t share our values, and that has a mission that's very much at odds with what’s in the best interests of the United States. That should concern us," Wray said.

TIKTOK, OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA CONTROLLED BY OUR ENEMIES MUST BE BANNED NOW. WE CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER

Governors of Texas, Alabama, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Idaho, Maryland, Montana and South Dakota all signed executive orders which limit the ability for individuals to access TikTok while using state-owned internet networks.

Jake Denton, a research associate at the Heritage Foundation's Tech Policy Center, told FOX Business that he thinks the move by universities is a step in the right direction, stating that TikTok has a mass amount of data on everyday Americans.

BILL TO BAN TIKTOK NATIONWIDE TO BE INTRODUCED IN SENATE

"I mean, a lot of people are familiar with the experience where something pops up, whether it be an advertisement or a link, and you click on it and it feels as though you're within Safari. They've replicated kind of that interface, but you're actually within TikTok's own browser and they're logging everything in that environment. So that prompted you to log into something. They have your password, they have your username. So it's, it's that level of concern," Denton said.

One aspect of TikTok that concerns Denton is its location tracking feature, adding that the Chinese government could use it to find whoever they want as long as they use the popular app.

"This really causes a concern about real world intervention, you know, in Chinese intelligence capacities. If they know you always go to, you know, a bar on a Tuesday night, they know they can find you there," Denton said.

Here's a list of colleges that have banned students from accessing TikTok on Wi-Fi networks:

There does, however, appear to be a loophole through which students on campus can still access TikTok.

Cole Rather, a student at Texas A&M University, told Fox News Digital that he agrees with the ban, but states that students can simply disconnect from the university's Wi-Fi network to access the app.

"The funny thing is, though, if I'm on to talk on my phone on campus, I'll just disconnect from Wi-Fi networks with data, you know? I mean, it's that simple," Rather says of using the app. "if that's what we need to do to keep from the Chinese government spying on us or whatever it might be with algorithms and then I'm good with it."

An injured boy in Georgia has earned the support of thousands of people online following an attack by pit bulls that nearly cost him his life.

Justin Gilstrap, 11, of Appling, Georgia, was riding his bicycle on Friday, January 6, when he was attacked by three pit bulls.

The boy lost 70% of his scalp as a result of the mauling and suffered injuries across his body. 

GEORGIA BOY, 11, PULLED FROM BIKE AND ATTACKED BY 'LOOSE' PIT BULLS LOSES PART OF EAR, MOST OF HIS SCALP

As of Friday, Jan. 27, he will have undergone eight surgeries, his mom, Ericka Stevens, shared on Facebook — and he's expected to be at the Children's Hospital of Georgia for at least another month before moving to another hospital for additional rehabilitation.

A Facebook group called "Following the story of Justin Gilstrap" has grown to more than 22,500 supporters in the three weeks since the attack. Members of the group are from as far away as Australia. 

While the group grew rapidly, not all members were primarily concerned with Gilstrap’s recovery, however. 

Instead, some people wanted to defend the breed of the dogs that nearly took the boy's life. 

DOG NAMES REVEALED: AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB ANNOUNCES THE TOP CANINE NAMES IN 2022

To help control the content and keep it focused on the wounded boy, complete strangers stepped up to the plate to help the family and moderate the group. 

One of those people was Megan Dozier of Tampa Bay, Florida. 

She first heard of Gilstrap’s attack on another Facebook page — and was touched by his story. 

"I’ve seen gory videos of pit [bull] attacks and the aftermath all the time, but [there was] something about Justin’s sad sweet eyes while he stood there, probably in so much pain and shock," she told Fox News Digital. 

"His eyes [were] almost asking, ‘Why did this happen to me?’" 

Dozier told Fox News Digital that she initially joined the group to keep up with Gilstrap’s recovery, but she became shocked by what she was seeing. 

"When I saw people having fights and arguments about pit bulls on the actual page, I was very displeased, and felt like I needed to get involved somehow," she said. 

In the comments section, she said, "people were posting pictures of their pit bulls with their children or just sleeping" — insisting that their pit bulls would never hurt anyone. 

The subsequent comments on those posts "turned into an all-out war on this child’s page, [when he's] literally fighting for his life in the hospital," Dozier told Fox News Digital.

Dozier and two others then reached out to Gilstrap’s mom, Ericka Stevens, and offered assistance with managing the now-unwieldy group. 

"The last thing we want is for Ericka to get on Justin’s support page and see anything but love and prayers for Justin," she said. 

Another issue, according to Dozier, is that scammers were impersonating Gilstrap's mother with a fake CashApp account. 

"She had to stop all CashApp donations because of this," Dozier told Fox News Digital. 

A GoFundMe for Gilstrap's medical expenses has raised nearly $240,000 as of publication time. The boy's mom is reportedly a single mother of four. 

On the GoFundMe page, Gilstrap's mother shared part of her son's medical trauma: "He is missing 70% of his scalp, has several lacerations and staples, they couldn’t close the wound on his leg, and now he’s running a fever."

Dozier of Florida said she has since video-chatted with the mom and son — and was amazed by the boy's hospital room full of packages and notes from well-wishers, including from his beloved Georgia Bulldogs.

Dayla Keeton of Kentucky is another person who volunteered her time to help the family. 

While she doesn't know the Gilstraps, she said that "as a mother, my heart broke and I began to follow Justin's story, and joined the group to track updates." 

Keeton, too, was dismayed when the group turned from supporting the boy and into defending pit bulls. 

"Justin is a living miracle from God," Keeton told Fox News Digital. 

"God has brought together [thousands of] people from all over the world to pray, love and support Justin, his mother and their family in that group," she said. 

Watching Gilstrap heal is "a blessing," explained Keeton. 

"But so is watching so many people come together with one common purpose, one common goal: to love and support one sweet, strong and amazing boy and his mother." 

"It's indescribable." 

Some people online have offered to make hats for the boy. Many others have offered prayers.

One commenter on the Facebook group wrote to the boy and his family, "I do pray that today is a better day for you, and that each day that passes you are feeling better. Know that I and others from southeast Mississippi are praying for your full recovery, and we check in on you daily. God bless you and keep you strong," said a woman named Brenda.

The three dogs that attacked Gilstrap, along with four other pit bull puppies owned by the same individual, were euthanized by the county, according to FOX54 of Augusta, Georgia.

The dogs' owner reportedly told officers he was not at home at the time of the attack — and that his dogs liked to chase bicyclists.

The owner was charged with reckless conduct and was released on bond, local outlets reported.

The euthanization of the dogs was carried out with consent from the Columbia County Sheriff and District Attorney, according to Fox 54 of Augusta.

Russia’s Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, was welcomed in a handful of African countries this week, from those with big economies—South Africa and Angola—to the tiny kingdom of Eswatini, the last absolute monarchy in Africa, and Eritrea, one of only five countries to vote against a U.N. resolution back in March condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

This was Lavrov’s second visit to the continent in six months. With a shrinking pool of trading partners under a growing gauntlet of sanctions, the trip appeared to be planned as an image-booster for Moscow.

"I think the real message behind the Lavrov tour is that Russia is not as internationally isolated, perhaps, as the West thinks or would like to believe," Russia and Africa expert John Lechner tells Fox News. He said the foreign minister wanted to show that "Russia still has some friends, even after the disastrous war in Ukraine."

Due to that disastrous war, it is not clear how much Russia can offer Africa. But Moscow’s steadily growing influence on the continent has drawn a lot of attention recently. For example, Russia’s navy will join China and South Africa in joint exercises next month. Russia is the largest exporter of arms to Africa.

YELLEN’S SOUTH AFRICA VISIT: ‘NOT ESPECIALLY WARM WELCOME’

Russia is also involved in some energy-exploration projects, another endeavor that creates jobs for its people. Quite a few African countries have tapped Moscow and some of its more ruthless mercenaries, like the notorious Wagner group, to help prop up shaky governments. Out of those relationships have come, reportedly, shady deals favorable to Russia for the mining of precious natural materials. But Lechner says the scale of Russia’s trade relationships with Africa ($20 billion in total) are dwarfed by those of the United States (as much as $60 billion), which are in turn dwarfed by those of China (estimated at $190 billion.)

It is China’s influence in Africa in particular that is said to have prompted U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s ten-day trip to the continent to beef up involvement. Her trip dovetailed with Lavrov’s. Yellen was definitive about the U.S.’s commitment as she announced a few initiatives including helping Africa transition to renewable energies. 

"The United States is all-in on Africa and all-in with Africa," she said, adding, "Our engagement is not transactional, and it’s not for show." Mindful that some African heads of state have failed to condemn Moscow for attacking Ukraine, she pointed out that the conflict has direct consequences for Africa. 

"Russia’s war and weaponization of food has exacerbated food insecurity and caused untold suffering, and the global economic headwinds caused by the actions of a single man, President Putin, is creating an unnecessary drag on Africa’s economy."

RUSSIA AND US JOCKEY FOR SUPPORT ACROSS AFRICA

I asked John Lechner why some African countries are not making that connection or at least continue to be content asking Russia for assistance and doing deals with a country that is slaughtering tens of thousands of its neighbors.

"At the end of the day, each country has to think about its own local security priorities first. In the countries where Russian mercenaries are, are countries that are in conflict. I don’t think we necessarily ask Ukrainians whether or not they care about what’s going on in the Central African Republic or Sudan or Mali," he says, mentioning some countries where Russia’s forces are known to be active. "So we shouldn’t necessarily expect Central Africans to think in that way themselves."

About the lack of condemnation for the war, not just among some African countries, but across parts of the Middle East, for one, which have kept silent. Lechner says it appears to be about asserting agency and basic realpolitik.

"Russia’s intervention in Syria has made the country another power broker in the region, especially at a time when there is at least fear that America is going to disengage more from the Middle East with more concentration in the Asia Pacific."

CHINA LOOKS TO OUTFLANK US IN AFRICA AS SOMALIA FACES TERRORISM, DROUGHT AND FAMINE

"Russia is able to talk to both Iran and Israel, for example, and moreover it’s also an important oil producer itself. So I think maintaining those relationships and lines of communication and cooperation are important for their own interests."

And back to Africa, Lechner says, it may be wary of taking sides in a new Cold War. Not only that, but certain countries view the brutality of Russia’s Wagner fighters as the last chance for quelling militias and resistance in places where more restrained Western peacekeepers have failed, so they will likely keep Russia at least relatively close as long as it serves the interests of those in power.

Harry Styles suffered a wardrobe malfunction during Thursday night's concert.

Styles, 28, ripped his pants as he lunged to the ground during the instrumental portion of his song "Music for a Sushi Restaurant." 

The moment was captured on video as the audience yelled and Styles immediately covered the large tear with his hands.

The former One Direction singer stood up and smiled as he continued with the song.

Twitter blew up with fan videos of the incident. It appears Styles later wrapped a rainbow flag around his waist to hide the hole in his pants. 

Styles had been performing in Inglewood, California, and it appears some celebrities were in the audience. 

"Modern Family" star Julie Bowen shared a video on TikTok showing herself in the crowd. 

Although she did not show them in her video, the actress noted that Jennifer Aniston and Ellen DeGeneres were both at the concert as well. 

Back in 2020, Styles revealed that Aniston was his first celebrity crush during an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."

The musician's concerts are often chaotic. In November, Styles was hit in the face with flying objects as he performed in Los Angeles.

Styles was hopping around the stage at the Kia Forum and thanking the audience before closing out the show with his song "Kiwi" when multiple small, circular objects were thrown toward the stage, according to video fans posted online.

At least one object appeared to hit the singer, who can be seen holding his left eye. Styles quickly shook off the hit and continued to wave and thank the audience.

Before that, viral video appeared to show Styles getting hit in the groin with a bottle that was thrown at the stage during a concert at the United Center in Chicago.

Styles immediately showed signs of discomfort, wincing before saying into the microphone, "Now that's unfortunate."

Fox News Digital's Stephan Sorace and Caroline Thayer contributed to this report.

A New York federal court on Friday unveiled an indictment charging three men on murder-for-hire and money laundering charges for plotting the assassination of a U.S. citizen targeted by the Iranian government.

All three men, associated with an Eastern European criminal organization, are in custody and will stand trial in the U.S., Attorney General Merrick Garland confirmed. 

The victim is Masih Alinejad, who was the target of a kidnapping plot from 2021 that was foiled by the FBI. 

"The Victim is a journalist, author and human rights activist, residing in Brooklyn, New York, who has publicized the Government of Iran’s human rights abuses and suppression of political expression, including in connection with continuing protests against the regime across Iran," he said. 

Department of Justice officials said the indictment exposes "a dangerous menace" to national security.
