Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi, for a second consecutive day to protest against a controversial “foreign agent” draft law.

The University of Victoria is celebrating the construction of its National Center for Indigenous Law (NCIL).

The PIF and its governor, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, have argued that they are nothing more than investors in LIV Golf, which filed an antitrust lawsuit against the Tour last year. Lawyers for the Tour claim the Fund and Al-Rumayyan are deeply involved in the day-to-day operations of LIV and, therefore, must submit to US…

That is, as alleged by Dominion, the network re-aired segments pushing false 2020 election claims while knowing those claims were false.
Media law expert Lee Levine told Nicolle on the show Wednesday:
