Gericht: Blockade von Fördermitteln für Harvard rechtswidrig

Die US-Regierung hatte im Frühjahr mehreren Unis vorgeworfen, zu wenig gegen Antisemitismus zu machen — und wollte Fördermittel verwehren. Das sei zu weit gegangen, sagt jetzt eine Bundesrichterin.

What Happened To The Streameast App? Here's Why It's Offline

0

Law enforcement organizations arrested two men suspected of running Streameast in August 2025, shutting the service down in the process.
The world’s premier streamer of pirated sporting events, Streameast, has been shut down after a year-long sting operation that saw Europol, the U.S. Department of Justice, and Egyptian law enforcement collaborate with some of the world’s largest media companies. According to a September 3, 2025, report by The Athletic, the investigation was spearheaded by the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE), an anti-piracy coalition between 50 of the world’s largest entertainment conglomerates, including Amazon, Sony Pictures, Walt Disney Studios, Apple, and Netflix. The organization has been at the forefront of shutting down illegal streaming services since its founding in 2017, orchestrating takedowns of popular pirate sites like RareBreed, Jetflicks, Beast IPTV, and Zoro.to.
Streameast purportedly used 80 domains to generate 1.6 billion visits in 2024, broadcasting everything from European soccer to the NFL, NBA, MLB, boxing, and F1. The operation is a major win for the sports and entertainment ecosystem of broadcasters, leagues, and teams that depend on media rights deals to generate revenue.
The skyrocketing popularity of illicit streams and the complexity of the networks orchestrating them have made piracy a difficult problem for law enforcement. In addition to pirated streams, unlicensed subscription platforms like TheTVapp.to have also begun to pose a serious problem for broadcasters. Workarounds like bootlegged IPTV Sticks and jailbroken Amazon Fire Sticks have also become an area of concern for regulators. But as ACE’s chairman Charles Rivkin told The Athletic, «With this landmark action, we have put more points on the board for sports leagues, entertainment companies, and fans worldwide.»The takedown and its aftermath
The investigation, which began in July 2024, came to a head on August 24, 2025, when Egyptian authorities arrested two men in El-Sheikh Zaid, a suburb of Cairo. Both men, who have yet to be publicly identified, are accused of copyright infringement. In addition to the arrests, authorities confiscated three laptops and four smartphones suspected of being used to run the illegal sites. Authorities also seized cash, Visa cards containing over $120,000, and roughly $200,000 in crypto wallets, according to ACE. Officials also uncovered multiple real estate holdings allegedly purchased by the scheme, as well as a shell corporation in the UAE used to launder roughly $6.2 million in revenue. As with most free illegal streaming sites, Streameast’s revenue came from advertising. According to ACE, all Streameast domains will now redirect users to its «Watch Legally» website.
The operation wasn’t the first targeting the service, as U.S. Homeland Security Investigations had taken down several Streameast domains in August 2024. Streameast admins quickly responded, however, restarting operations and claiming that it had 400 additional domains from which to broadcast games. As of early September, posters on Reddit (via The Athletic) claim that backup domains are still running, while Heavy Sports asserted that 16 domains continued to operate, streaming at least two MLB games. ACE, for its part, told The Athletic that it was aware of these sites and is working to confirm whether they are successors to Streameast or merely copycats trying to take advantage of the situation.The piracy epidemic
Illegal broadcasts have been a persistent problem since hackers began ripping off cable TV transmissions in the 1980s. Since then, the practice has become widespread, with the European Union’s Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) finding that visits to illegal sports streams rose by 30% in 2022 alone. According to a 2021 report by anti-piracy vendor Synamedia, illegal streams cost sports broadcasters $28.3 billion annually, and these losses can have a knock-on effect on media rights deals themselves.
In February 2025, sports broadcaster DAZN found itself in a contract dispute with Ligue 1, France’s premier soccer league, over its inability to prevent digital piracy. The problem hits pay-per-view events like boxing even harder. For example, reports from the time indicated that the infamous Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder heavyweight match in 2019 attracted nearly six times more illegal streams than paid ones.
In many ways, Streameast was emblematic of these issues. Averaging 136 million monthly visits, the service garnered a global audience, particularly in the U.S., U.K., Canada, the Philippines, and Germany. Rising broadcast costs, improved stream quality, and widespread cultural acceptance have made pirate sites more popular, especially among young viewers. According to the EUIPO, over a quarter of EU citizens between the ages of 24 and 15 admitted to illegally streaming sports, and regulators are likely to continue cracking down on illegal streamers. As Larissa Knapp, executive vice president and chief content protection officer of Motion Picture Association, stated in an ACE press release, the dismantling of Streameast is «further proof that no piracy network is beyond the reach of coordinated global enforcement.»

Bill Murray was 'devastated' by misconduct claims that shut down movie, director Aziz Ansari says

Bill Murray was «devastated» over the misconduct allegations that led to the cancellation of «Being Mortal,» according to Aziz Ansari.
Aziz Ansari addressed the 2022 misconduct allegations against Bill Murray that led to the cancellation of his film «Being Mortal.»
During an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Ansari, 42, shared how Murray, 74, reacted to the claims and the film’s indefinite suspension.
«He was devastated», the «Parks and Recreation» alum said. «He couldn’t believe it happened. I think this movie meant a lot to him.»
In April 2022, Searchlight Pictures shut down production on «Being Mortal» after a younger female staffer filed a complaint accusing Murray of «inappropriate behavior» on set.
Murray and the anonymous woman later reached a settlement for just over $100,000 in October 2022, according to Puck.
Puck reported that the staffer accused Murray of straddling her near a prop bed on set and kissing her on the mouth through the face masks that both were wearing under COVID-19 protocols. The outlet also said another staffer filed a complaint after witnessing the incident.
After Searchlight’s parent company, Disney, investigated the claims, the studio shelved the movie. «Being Mortal» would have marked Ansari’s directorial debut and also starred Seth Rogen and Keke Palmer.
During an interview with The New York Times in April, Murray opened up about the incident, revealing that the experience still haunts him.
«I don’t go too many days or weeks without thinking of what happened in ‘Being Mortal», Murray admitted.
The «Ghostbusters» star said that he «tried to make peace» but felt that he «ended up being, to my mind, barbecued.»
Murray told the outlet that his accuser was «someone I worked with», adding that they had lunch together «on various days of the week.»
The actor recalled that the incident took place during the COVID pandemic when all the members of the cast and crew were required to wear masks.
«We were all stranded in this one room listening to this crazy scene», he said. «I dunno what prompted me to do it.»
«It’s something that I had done to someone else before, and I thought it was funny, and every time it happened, it was funny», Murray continued. «I was wearing a mask, and I gave her a kiss, and she was wearing a mask. It wasn’t like I touched her, but it was just, I gave her a kiss through a mask. And she wasn’t a stranger.»
Reflecting on whether he had learned something from the experience, Murray told the New York Times, «I think so.»
«You can teach an old dog new tricks», he continued. «But it was a great disappointment, because I thought I knew someone, and I did not. I certainly thought it was light. I thought it was funny. To me it’s still funny, the idea that you could give someone a kiss with a mask on. It’s still stupid.»
Ansari, who faced allegations of sexual misconduct in 2018, told The Hollywood Reporter that he still hopes to finish «Being Mortal» with Murray. He recalled that production on the movie was about three-quarters completed when it was halted. The «Master of None» star recalled being inundated with messages after the allegations and suspension made headlines.
«Everybody’s texting me, ‘Oh, Aziz, I’m so sorry,’» Ansari remembered. «And I said, ‘Oh God, I can’t live in this woe-is-me moment.’»
At the time, Ansari had finished a rough draft of the script for his upcoming comedy «Good Fortune.» He told the Hollywood Reporter that he contacted Rogen to see if the «Knocked Up» star would be interested in taking on the project.
«I called Seth», he recalled. «I said, ‘Hey, I know you’re supposed to be filming Being Mortal, so you’re free today. This is a s—— day for me. If you want to help me, read this, tell me if you want to do it.’»
In addition to Rogen, Ansari also enlisted former «Being Mortal» actress Palmer for «Good Fortune.» Other members of the cast include Keanu Reeves, Sandra Oh and Ansari himself.
The comedy follows a down-on-his-luck gig worker (Ansari) who meets his guardian angel Gabriel (Reeves) in a Denny’s parking lot, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Gabriel helps Ansari’s character swap lives with his wealthy employer Jeff (Rogen) in an effort to show him that money can’t buy happiness. The plan goes awry when Ansari’s character decides he loves Jeff’s life, and Gabriel loses his wings as a result of the failed experiment.
«Good Fortune», now Ansari’s feature directorial debut, will premiere Sept. 6 at the Toronto International Film Festival before opening in theaters Oct. 17.

У Зеленского рассказали, когда Украина откроет границы

Чиновник уверен, что после войны не будет много желающих выехать
Чиновник уверен, что после войны не будет много желающих выехать
После завершения боевых действий в Украине границы откроются не сразу. Но долго закрытыми они не будут.
Об этом рассказал советник главы Офиса президента Михаил Подоляк в интервью «Новини Live». Он убежден, что после открытия границ очередей на выезд не будет.
Михаил Подоляк

Он выразил сомнение, что после открытия границ люди массово начнут выезжать из-за страха новой войны. По его словам, сейчас за границей украинцам дают юридический статус, но потом такого не будет.
Михаил Подоляк

Он добавил, что если Украина получит сильные гарантии безопасности и средства на восстановление, то тут будет достаточно рабочих мест и денег для комфортной жизни.
В сети после этого показали видеозаписи больших очередей, однако в ГПСУ говорят, что существенных заторов на границе не наблюдалось.

Trump Promises US Troops Will Stay in Poland

President Trump affirmed that the United States will keep a robust military presence in Poland as he had a warm meeting Wednesday with the country’s new president, Karol Nawrocki.
President Trump affirmed that the United States will keep a robust military presence in Poland as he had a warm meeting Wednesday with the country’s new president, Karol Nawrocki. Trump had taken the unusual step of endorsing Nawrocki in the Polish elections earlier this year, and as the leaders sat side by side in the White House, Trump said the US-Polish relationship has always been strong but «now it’s better than ever», the AP reports. When asked by a reporter whether the US planned to continue placing troops in Poland, Trump said the US would and «we’ll put more there if they want.» «We’ll be staying in Poland. We’re very much aligned with Poland», Trump said.

The visit to Washington is Nawrocki’s first overseas trip since taking office last month. The former amateur boxer and historian, who was backed by the conservative Law and Justice party, was hoping to deepen his relationship with Trump at a fraught moment for Warsaw. Nawrocki thanked Trump for his support and, in a nod to the bonds between their countries, gave a particular hello to the millions of Polish Americans in the US. «Those relations for me, for Poland, for Poles, are very important», Nawrocki said. He added that those bonds are based on shared values of independence and democracy.

In a news conference after his meeting, Nawrocki said he and Trump discussed expanding the US military presence in Poland. «There were specific discussions regarding this project», he said. He also said he considered it «a major success» that Trump provided a guarantee of Poland’s security. Asked if he was unhappy about the lack of progress to end fighting between Poland’s neighbors Ukraine and Russia, Trump said that Vladimir Putin would have to make a decision soon and that «If we are unhappy about it, you will see things happen», the Guardian reports.

When Nawrocki arrived at the White House, Trump gave him a hearty slap on the shoulder and stood with him as they watched US military jets soaring over the South Lawn. A group of F-16s flew in a missing man formation as a tribute to a Polish Air Force F-16 pilot, Maj. Maciej «Slab» Krakowian, who died in a crash in Poland on Aug. 28. «Thank you for this gesture», Nawrocki later told Trump.

Porsche fliegt aus dem Dax

Der Sportwagenbauer Porsche steigt aus dem deutschen Aktien-Leitindex Dax in den Index für mittelgroße Unternehmen (MDax) ab.
Vor knapp drei Jahren startete Porsche vielversprechend an der Börse. Schnell stieg der Sportwagenbauer in den Dax auf. Nach zuletzt schwachen Geschäftszahlen folgt nun der Abstieg.
Neuer Rückschlag für Porsche nach zuletzt deutlichen Gewinneinbrüchen: Der Sportwagenbauer steigt aus dem deutschen Aktien-Leitindex Dax in den Index für mittelgroße Unternehmen (MDax) ab. Das teilte die Deutsche Börse mit.
Ebenfalls gehen muss der Pharma- und Laborzulieferer Sartorius, wie die Deutsche-Börse-Tochter ISS Stoxx in Zug mitteilte. Aufsteigen in den Dax werden anstelle von Porsche und Sartorius der Immobilienplattform-Betreiber Scout24 und der Anlagenbauer Gea. Auch Sartorius ist künftig im MDax vertreten. In Kraft treten die Änderungen am 22. September.
Die Porsche AG war Ende September 2022 an die Börse gegangen und feierte als vielversprechender Neuling einen der größten Börsengänge der deutschen Wirtschaftsgeschichte.
Nur wenige Monate später stieg das damals noch hochprofitable Unternehmen in den Dax auf. Die Aktien waren beim Börsengang mit einem Ausgabepreis von 82,50 Euro gestartet und in den Monaten danach auf fast 120 Euro gestiegen. Zuletzt lag der Aktienkurs nur noch bei etwa 45 Euro.
Knapp drei Jahre später hat sich die Stimmung bei der VW-Tochter deutlich verschlechtert. Die Profitabilität der einstigen Renditeperle ist stark geschmolzen. Die Probleme der deutschen Autoindustrie machen auch vor Porsche keinen Halt — seien es der schwächelnde chinesische Markt, Probleme beim E-Auto-Verkauf oder der Zollstreit mit den USA. Das Unternehmen verzeichnete zuletzt starke Gewinneinbrüche. Deshalb ist bei den Schwaben nun Sparen angesagt.
Der Abstieg von Porsche ist sinnbildlich für die Krise der deutschen Autoindustrie, die mit sinkenden Gewinnen kämpft. Das belastet die Aktienkurse der Unternehmen. So ist das Gewicht der Autobranche im Dax binnen zehn Jahren deutlich geschrumpft.
Anders als die Porsche AG bleibt die Porsche Automobil Holding SE im Dax. Die Beteiligungsgesellschaft ist mit 31,9 Prozent der größte Anteilseigner des Autobauers VW; sie ist mit etwa einem Achtel auch an der Porsche AG beteiligt.
Neben dem Autobauer muss auch Sartorius den Dax verlassen. Der Göttinger Pharma- und Laborzulieferer hatte in der Corona-Pandemie von einer starken Nachfrage nach seinen Produkten etwa für die Produktion von Impfstoffen profitiert. Danach litt das Unternehmen aber unter dem Abflauen des Booms, hohen Lagerbeständen bei Kunden und einer Marktschwäche in China. Binnen drei Jahren haben sich Sartorius-Aktien in etwa halbiert.
Veränderungen im Dax sind nichts Ungewöhnliches. Die Deutsche Börse überprüft vierteljährlich die Zusammensetzung des deutschen Leitindex sowie weiterer Indizes, darunter der Mittelwerteindex MDax. Für den Auf- und Abstieg von Unternehmen ist der Börsenwert der frei gehandelten Aktien entscheidend.
Zu welchem Index — Dax oder MDax — ein Unternehmen gehört, hat für dessen Geschäft keine konkreten Folgen. Jedoch bringt eine Notierung in der ersten deutschen Börsenliga Prestige und mehr Sichtbarkeit bei internationalen Investoren. Denn der Dax ist das Aushängeschild der deutschen Wirtschaft.
Langfristige Folgen für den Aktienkurs haben Indexänderungen in der Regel nicht. Wichtig sind sie vor allem für Indexfonds (ETFs), die etwa den Dax direkt und eins zu eins abbilden. Sie müssen dann entsprechend umschichten und umgewichten, was Einfluss auf die Aktienkurse haben kann.
Ein Abstieg aus dem Dax ist keine Einbahnstraße, wie das Beispiel der Commerzbank zeigt: Sie musste 2018 den Dax verlassen, 2023 gelang dann die Rückkehr in den Leitindex, der zwischenzeitlich von 30 auf 40 Werte erweitert worden war. Auch die Lufthansa, die im Sommer 2020 den Dax in den MDax verlassen musste, galt immer wieder als Kandidat für einen Wiederaufstieg. (dpa/bearbeitet von cgo)

Эмманюэль Макрон назвал условие, при котором Европа готова предоставить гарантии безопасности для Украины.
Европейские государства готовы предоставить Украине гарантии безопасности. Однако это возможно только после подписания мирного соглашения с Россией.
Об этом во время встречи с президентом Владимиром Зеленским в Париже заявил лидер Франции Эмманюэль Макрон в среду, 3 сентября.Макрон назвал условие гарантий безопасности от ЕС
По словам французского лидера, европейские страны готовы гарантировать безопасность в тот же день, когда Украина и РФ достигнут соглашения о прекращении войны.
«Мы, европейцы, готовы предоставить гарантии Украине в тот день, когда будет подписан мир. Это то, что было сказано в Вашингтоне. Задача выполнена, и сегодня мы можем подтвердить: мы готовы обеспечить политическую поддержку этим договоренностям», — подчеркнул он.
Макрон также добавил, что союзники после вашингтонских переговоров согласились создать условия для стабильного мира в Украине. В то же время он подчеркнул, что окончательное решение зависит от Москвы и ее готовности принять те условия, которые она озвучивала во время обсуждений в США.
«Сейчас вопрос заключается в том, чтобы определить искренность России и ее последовательных обязательств по мирным переговорам, данных США», — добавил Макрон.

5 Republicans join Democrats to table Rep. McIver censure resolution

Five Republicans in the House joined Democrats Wednesday to block an effort to censure Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., over a confrontation with immigration officers in her district.
Sept. 3 Five Republicans in the House joined Democrats Wednesday to block an effort to censure Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., over a confrontation with immigration officers in her district.
Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., sponsored a resolution that would have condemned McIver’s actions in May and removed her from her position on the House Homeland Security Committee. The House voted 215-207 to table the measure, with Republican Reps. Don Bacon and Mike Flood of Nebraska, Dave Joyce and Mike Turner of Ohio, and David Valadao of California voting against the censure along with all Democrats. Rep. Andrew Garbarino, R-N.Y., and Rep. Nathaniel Moran, R-Texas, voted present.
Turner’s representative said he mistakenly voted against the resolution, which would not have changed the outcome of the vote, Politico reported.
McIver faces three federal charges for allegedly assaulting and interfering with immigration officers outside the Delaney Hall Federal Immigration Facility in Newark, N.J., during a congressional visit on May 9. U.S. Attorney Alina Habra said McIver forcibly grabbed and slammed an agent with her forearm and struck a second agent.
The counts carry up to eight years in prison if she’s convicted. She pleaded not guilty to the charges during her arraignment in June.
Along with McIver at the oversight inspection were Newark Mayor Ray Baraka, and Democratic Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman and Rob Menendez of New Jersey. Authorities initially arrested Baraka but later dropped the charges against him.
Democrats have called the charges and censure politically motivated. McIver’s lawyers said she didn’t commit any crimes and was simply carrying out her duties as a member of Congress attempting to inspect the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement facility, but federal agents reacted recklessly and disproportionately.
Garbarino said he voted no on the censure because he believes the Ethics Committee should review the matter. Bacon agreed.
«I don’t support the censure of Rep. LaMonica McIver because I want the Ethics Committee to finish their report on this matter», he said.
Higgins said McIver was to blame for him pushing the vote, according to Roll Call.
«Had she withdrawn from the Homeland Security Committee, I certainly wouldn’t have offered a resolution, even though censure [is] legitimate and called for», he said.

TYLKO U NAS. Czy prezydent Nawrocki skorzystał z "instrukcji" MSZ? "Ton, w którym minister chce pouczać, jest niegrzeczny"

«Minister Sikorski mógłby się uczyć kultury współpracy z prezydentem od swoich kolegów z rządu, innych ministerstw» — powiedział Sikorski.
„Wspomnieliśmy oczywiście o Westinghouse, dyskutowaliśmy o atomie, bardziej rozmawialiśmy o gazie. No to były tak ogólne instrukcje, pomimo tego, że się z nimi zapoznałem, to nie wyznaczały one jednak agendy naszego spotkania” — przyznał prezydent Karol Nawrocki w rozmowie z red. Marcinem Wikło z telewizji wPolsce24, pytany, czy skorzystał z „instrukcji” MSZ wysłanych przez ministra Radosława Sikorskiego przed wizytą w Stanach Zjednoczonych.
MSZ przekazało Kancelarii Prezydenta instrukcje i rekomendacje przed środową wizytą Karola Nawrockiego w Białym Domu. Treść pisma ujawnił w czwartek Kanał Zero. Wedle ujawnionego dokumentu, MSZ zalecało szczególną ostrożność w trzech tematach: by prezydent unikał zobowiązań dotyczących przyszłych zakupów amerykańskiego uzbrojenia z uwagi na trwające analizy potrzeb Sił Zbrojnych RP, by nie deklarował poparcia dla podmiotu amerykańskiego jako wykonawcy elektrowni jądrowej w drugiej lokalizacji i by unikał poruszania kwestii ewentualnego wprowadzenia podatku cyfrowego i regulacji mediów społecznościowych w Polsce. Instrukcje przekazane przez resort krytykowali politycy PiS i ministrowie prezydenta.
Jest coś kuriozalnego w tym, że MSZ tego rządu, który przez blisko dwa lata nie potrafił zorganizować poważnej wizyty w Waszyngtonie i rozmawiać z administracją w Białym Domu, próbuje mówić, co prezydent ma przekazać, a czego prezydent ma nie podnosić
powiedział Zbigniew Bogucki, szef Kancelarii Prezydenta.
Jak dodał, „nie ma instrukcji dla głowy państwa” i słowo „instrukcja” jest w tym wypadku nie na miejscu.
Instrukcje premier Sikorski, czy premier Tusk, czy pozostali ministrowie mogą wydawać swoim podwładnym
— podkreślił prezydencki minister.
Prezydent jest głową państwa, co nie przekreśla oczywiście tego, że rząd powinien prowadzić politykę międzynarodową, ale w tym zakresie, czyli ze Stanami Zjednoczonymi jej nie prowadzi, bo nie ma żadnych relacji
— powiedział Bogucki.
CZYTAJ WIĘCEJ: TYLKO U NAS. Wraca idea Fortu Trump? Prezydent Nawrocki z Waszyngtonu: „Ten pomysł dźwięczy gdzieś w sercu prezydenta Trumpa”
O tę kwestię tuż po rozmowach z prezydentem USA Donaldem Trumpem pytany był przez red. Wikło prezydent Karol Nawrocki.
Wspomnieliśmy oczywiście o Westinghouse, dyskutowaliśmy o atomie, bardziej rozmawialiśmy o gazie. No to były tak ogólne instrukcje, pomimo tego, że się z nimi zapoznałem, to nie wyznaczały one jednak agendy naszego spotkania. Ja oczywiście zamierzam korzystać z Ministerstwa Spraw Zagranicznych i ze współpracy
— zapewnił.
Zresztą korzystamy przy wielu wizytach na poziomie ministra Przydacza, który jest odpowiednikiem pana ministra Sikorskiego, czy także na poziomie urzędniczym, te spotkania się odbywają. No ale jednak ton, w którym minister spraw zagranicznych chce pouczać, to jest niegrzeczne, to jest niepotrzebne, to jest nieładne
— stwierdził.
Myślę, że pan minister Sikorski mógłby się uczyć kultury współpracy z prezydentem od swoich kolegów z rządu, innych ministerstw
— dodał Nawrocki.
