London's metropolitan police say a 16-year-old boy and two men aged 19 and 21 have
been charged with arson with intent to endanger life. Police officers were told on Wednesday that an ignited container was thrown at the offices of Volunt Media, the parent company of the news channel Iran International, which
“has since put out a statement saying it won't be silenced by the attack.”
The container landed in a parking lot and there were no injuries. It comes after two other arson attacks in northwest London in recent weeks, including one targeting a synagogue and another on ambulances linked to a local Jewish charity. Earlier this week, the metropolitan police said it was dealing with an unprecedented level of national security investigations with suspected links to foreign states.

Assemble with the government on her immigration and federal cases, GBH's therapist in court has more on the update from Dr. Ramasa Oster. Oster, who spent over six weeks in detention and her attorneys have agreed with the government
to dismiss her pending board of immigration appeals case in another federal case. She's graduated and has already returned to Turkey. Jessie Rossman of the ACLU of Massachusetts was one of Oster's attorneys.

The U.S. Supreme Court is unanimously siding with oil and gas companies who argue their challenges of environmental lawsuits should be moved from state to federal court.
Chevron and Exxon Mobil led the company's legal battle Louisiana over who should pay for the degradation to the state's coastline. Recent electoral defeat of Hungary's long-assurving Prime Minister Victor Orban may have repercussions far beyond that country's borders. Forbun modeled a new kind of autocratic politics that far-right leaders in other western
democracies have copied. They include attacks on so-called "woke culture," higher education and independent media, LGBTQ rights, women's bodily autonomy, and, as Jeremy Shapiro of the European Council on Foreign Relations notes, on immigration. They're able to really scare the population with it and create a very restrictive immigration
policy, which is specifically aimed at maintaining this sort of purity and continuity of the Hungarian nation. Orban's loss is raising questions about the future of the global far-right infrastructure he built, namely think tanks devoted to formulating and advancing illiberal policies in democratic countries.
