K2: Climbers deny walking by dying guide in bid to break record

1. K2: Climbers deny walking by dying guide in bid to break record

- A well-known Norwegian mountaineer has denied accusations that her team climbed over an injured guide during a bid to break a world record.

- The porter had fallen off a ledge on Pakistan's K2 - the world's second-highest mountain.

- Video on social media appears to show a group walking by Mr Hassan, who reportedly died a few hours later.

- But Kristin Harila said she and her team tried everything to help him in dangerous conditions.

2. Sam Bankman-Fried headed to jail after bail revoked

- Sam Bankman-Fried, who was arrested on fraud charges last year after the collapse of his cryptocurrency firm, must await trial behind bars.

- The 31-year-old was handcuffed in court and led away, while his mother watched in tears after the decision.

- Judge Lewis Kaplan had agreed with prosecutors who had accused Mr Bankman-Fried of trying to influence witnesses expected to testify against him.

3. Judge Chutkan warns Trump against 'inflammatory' remarks before trial

- A federal judge has warned former US President Donald Trump against making "inflammatory" statements which could taint the jury pool ahead of his trial for conspiring to overturn the result of the 2020 election.

- But Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled that Mr Trump can publicly share some of the non-sensitive evidence which prosecutors disclose to his legal team.

- Friday's ruling was a blow to the special counsel who had expressed concern Mr Trump might reveal secret material and intimidate witnesses.
