In a surprising move, the U.S. government has filed a motion to stop the plea agreements in the case against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other defendants, who are accused of being the architects of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The government's motion seeks to delay a plea hearing scheduled for Friday at Guantanamo Bay and put all proceedings on hold while the request is considered. This development comes after a military judge ruled in November that plea agreements struck by Mohammed and two co-defendants were valid, voiding an earlier order by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to throw out the deals.

Nigel Farage has offered to help Lord Mandelson, the incoming US ambassador, in his new role by using his connections with the Trump administration. Despite their political differences, Farage believes he could be a useful asset for fostering good US-UK relations. He is particularly willing to assist with talks on trade, tariffs, intelligence-sharing, and countering terrorism, as many members of the president's cabinet are his friends. However, he fears that the government may be too split to take up his offer. Mandelson has been warned that he will need a thick skin to weather regular attacks from Trump's allies, but with his experience in the hard world of diplomacy, he is expected to succeed as ambassador to Washington.

After Biden commuted most federal death row sentences, Trump has vowed to "vigorously pursue" capital punishment for violent criminals. Biden's decision to change 37 of the 40 condemned people's sentences to life in prison without parole was criticized by Trump as senseless and insulting to the families of the victims.
