TOPSHOT - Former US President Donald Trump leaves Trump Tower for Manhattan federal court for the second defamation trial against him, in New York City on January 22, 2024. Writer E. Jean Carroll is seeking more than $10 million in damages in the civil trial, alleging that Trump defamed her in 2019 when he was president and she had just come out with her allegation, saying she "is not my type." This is separate to a civil case last year where another New York jury found Trump liable for sexually assaulting Carroll in a department store dressing room in 1996 and subsequently defaming her in 2022, when he called her a "complete con job."

Extinction Rebellion organisers mentioned that thousands of people joined marches across the UK this weekend as part of the global days of action demanding that leaders rapidly phase out fossil fuels. The demonstrators will call out the government for seeking to 'max out' North Sea oil and gas reserves despite warnings that there can be no new drilling if the world is to stay within habitable climate limits. The UK government is giving out hundreds of new North Sea licences and has voiced its support for the proposed development of the huge Rosebank oil field off the Scottish coast.
