Jon Jones, left, and Alexander Gustafsson pose following the weigh-in for Saturday’s UFC 165 mixed martial arts bout in Toronto, Friday, Sept. 20, 2013. |
Friday, Oct. 12, 2018 | 1:28 p.m. |
Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will attempt to regain his belt when he returns from suspension Dec. 29 in a rematch with Alex Gustafsson. |
The UFC announced the main event for its traditional year-ending show in Las Vegas on Friday. |
Jones (22-1) is widely considered the greatest talent in mixed martial arts, but he has repeatedly sabotaged his own career with mistakes outside the cage. |
Jones hasn't fought since July 29, 2017, when he beat Daniel Cormier to win the light heavyweight title for the second time. Jones' victory was overturned when he tested positive for steroid use and received a 15-month suspension. |
Jones beat Gustafsson in their first bout in September 2013, escaping with a debatable decision in the toughest fight of his professional career. |

Australia's most wanted terrorist, Neil Prakash, tried to flee Islamic State by sneaking into Turkey but may have been undone by his social media posts, Fairfax Media has learned. |
An international tug-of-war is looming following his arrest in Turkey a few weeks ago, more than six months after the US and Australian governments said Prakash had been killed in a targeted drone strike in Mosul, Iraq. |
It has since emerged that he was only wounded and then crossed into Turkey using false documentation. |
Intelligence sources say they haven't been able to extract from Prakash why he was trying to leave Syria but believe he may have become sick of life in Islamic State and tried to run. |
Authorities believe Neil Prakash, pictured left, may have entered Turkey in attempt to flee Islamic State. |
It's understood Australian authorities detected him crossing the border and worked with Turkish authorities to arrest him. It took several days to establish that it was Prakash, possibly due to injuries or attempts to disguise himself. |
Several counter-terrorism researchers had been able to establish that the former apprentice mechanic from Melbourne may still be alive after tracking social media posts. |
An avid social media propagandist and recruiter, it appears Prakash couldn't stop himself from communicating with other foreign fighters and potential western recruits following his near-death. |
Military think tank Info Ops HQ had observed this activity around July and had advised in their August report that he was most likely alive, said chief executive Nicole Matejic. |
Neil Prakash, also known as Abu Khalid al-Cambodi, featured in an Islamic State propaganda video. |
Anti-terror expert Greg Barton, of Melbourne's Deakin University, believes Australian authorities knew as early as June that Prakash had survived yet kept it secret to more effectively track his social media activity. |
He said authorities will be hoping he abandoned Islamic State not just because he was injured but also because he had grown disillusioned. |
"It's possible that, since he witnessed awful brutality and the death of close friends, after he went in there in 2013 not knowing much, that he's fairly broken," Professor Barton said. |
"The real motherlode [of intelligence] would be if he had a real change of heart and was able to detail his own journey of radicalisation... and if he would speak out publicly about it and demythologise it - the caliphate, its leadership." |
Rodger Shanahan, research fellow at the Lowy Institute for International Policy, said Prakash will be of little value from an intelligence perspective because he was not a senior figure and will have limited insights. |
"The most important aspect of his detention is that it removes an active online jihadi recruiter and promoter of terrorism," he said. |
The US, Britain, Israel and Australia all have an interest in questioning Prakash, opening the way for an international tussle. |
Justice Minister Michael Keenan said a formal extradition request has been sent to Turkey but a response may be weeks off given it is "relatively complicated". |
"We've got a very good relationship with [Turkey] and they're very aware of our keen interest," he told ABC Radio on Monday. |
Jacinta Carroll, director of the Counter-Terrorism Policy Centre at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, said it was likely Australia would be given priority given his influence and links to attacks here. |
However, Professor Barton said the Turkish government, for political reasons, may wish to do the new Trump administration a favour by agreeing to US requests. |
Prakash, an Australian citizen of Cambodian and Fijian-Indian heritage, helped to recruit several Australian fighters and had involvement in several terror plots including foiled Anzac Day attacks in Sydney and Melbourne. |
The AFP, who are yet to access Prakash, issued a warrant for his arrest in 2015 for foreign incursions and membership of a terrorist organisation. |
He is being held in a secret location while Turkish authorities decide whether to charge or extradite him. |
Prakash, who left Melbourne in 2013, was raised a Buddhist but said he converted to Islam after a trip to Cambodia, where he saw people worshipping statues. |
He was reportedly part of an organisation within Islamic State which the FBI dubbed "the Legion", a group of western operatives involved in hacking and radicalising young westerners through social media. |

Who all remain to be selected in Lokpal? |
Justice Ghose was selected by committee headed by the Prime Minister. The same selection committee will choose the Lokpal’s other members. Under the 2013 Act, the Lokpal should consist of a chairperson and such number of members, not exceeding eight, of whom 50% should be judicial members. The selection procedure for t... |
The Act states that not less than 50% of the members of the Lokpal should be from among persons belonging to the SCs, the STs, OBCs, minorities and women. The same rules apply members of the search committee. Salaries, allowances and service conditions of the Lokpal chairperson will be the same as those for the Chief J... |
What happens after these selections to anti-corruption ombudsman? |
The Lokpal will set about creating its various wings. It will have an “Inquiry Wing, headed by the Director of Inquiry, for the purpose of conducting preliminary inquiry into any offence alleged to have been committed by a public servant punishable under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988”. It will also have a “Pro... |
What kind of public servants will come under the purview of these wings? |
For a wide range of public servants — from the Prime Minister, ministers and MPs, to groups A, B, C and D employees of the central government — various rules are in place. If a complaint is filed against the Prime Minister, the Act says, “Lokpal shall inquire or cause an inquiry to be conducted into any matter involved... |
The Act does not allow a Lokpal inquiry if the allegation against the Prime Minister relates to international relations, external and internal security, public order, atomic energy and space. Also, complaints against the Prime Minister are not to be probed unless the full Lokpal bench considers the initiation of an inq... |
How is an inquiry to proceed? |
The Lokpal may, after receiving a complaint against any public servant, order a preliminary inquiry (to be completed with in 90 days) or investigation by any agency. After receiving the report of the preliminary inquiry, the Lokpal may order an investigation by any agency or departmental proceedings or any other approp... |
What are the Lokayuktas mentioned in the Act? |
These are the state equivalents of the central Lokpal. “Every State shall establish a body to be known as the Lokayukta for the State, if not so established, constituted or appointed, by a law made by the State Legislature, to deal with complaints relating to corruption against certain public functionaries, within a pe... |
When are the states expected to set up their respective Lokayuktas? |
In some states, Lokayuktas were already functioning when the 2013 Act was passed. Most states, however, are without a Lokayukta. |
The Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram Assemblies had passed Lokayukta Bills in 2014. Following the SC order, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Puducherry Assemblies passed their respective Bills in July last year. |

DETROIT – For more than a year, a lawsuit filed by Brooke Melton's family has caused major migraines for General Motors. |
Litigation over the 29-year-old nurse's death was settled by GM last October. But not before it laid bare how the company allowed millions of small cars to stay on the road more than a decade after GM discovered ignition switch flaws linked to at least 13 fatalities. |
Now the case could upend GM's strategy to compensate victims and limit its legal liabilities in such tragedies. |
The Melton family lawyers want to reopen the case and show that GM fraudulently concealed the switch problem. If they win, more plaintiffs are likely to take the company to court or expect bigger payments. |
Those payments are under the management of one of the nation's top crisis compensation experts. GM has hired Kenneth Feinberg to settle hundreds of death and injury claims from crashes caused by the switches. Feinberg, who announced terms of his plan Monday, says there's no limit on the total amount he can pa... |
The family settled the case for $5 million, but now alleges that a GM engineer who designed the switch lied under oath and the company covered it up. |
At issue are the ignition switches in 2.6 million older Chevrolet Cobalts, Saturn Ions and other GM compact cars sold from 2003 to 2010. The switches can slip from "run" to "accessory," causing engines to stall. That knocks out power steering and brakes, making the cars difficult to control, and it disables the air bag... |
The Meltons face some obstacles before they get another day in court. Judges prefer not to reopen settled cases. And GM has moved the case from Cobb County, Georgia, to the federal system, avoiding, for now, a judge with extensive knowledge of GM's conduct. |
Just before 7:30 p.m. on a rainy Wednesday in March of 2010, Melton's 2005 Cobalt went into a spin on Highway 92 near Atlanta. Another car hit the passenger side, knocking it off the road and into a creek. Melton, who was wearing her seat belt, was killed. |
At first, police thought she was driving too fast and hit standing water. Facing a legal claim from the other driver, Melton's family hired lawyer Lance Cooper, who sued GM because Melton's car had stalled inexplicably a few days before the crash. Sensors in the car showed the ignition switch had slipped into... |
Through documents provided by GM in pretrial discovery, Cooper determined that engineers knew years before Melton's crash that the Cobalt's ignition switch could easily slip out of the run position. But instead of warning drivers through a recall, GM sent dealers a bulletin telling them how to fix the problem... |
During pretrial depositions, Cooper presented evidence from an engineering expert who found that parts inside Cobalt switches had been changed after Melton's car was manufactured. The change tightened the switches and made them unlikely to slip out of "run." |
In one deposition, GM engineer Ray DeGiorgio, the lead switch designer, told Cooper that he knew nothing about the changes. Also, he never authorized part maker Delphi Corp. to alter the switches. |
Cooper contends DeGiorgio lied under oath and GM's lawyers concealed it. There should be documentation of such a dramatic change to a part, but GM failed to produce it, even when ordered by a judge, Cooper said. "It's all part of the cover-up," he said. |
After DeGiorgio's deposition in May 2013, an attorney representing GM reported the switch alteration to company lawyers, calling it a "bombshell." |
Cooper knew he was on to something. But thinking he was at a legal dead-end to prove a cover-up, he reached the deal for GM to settle with Melton's parents, Beth and Ken. |
A report released by GM last month shows that the lawyer who represented GM warned of a "substantial adverse verdict" in a trial. |
