“Era come se fosse in flagranza“, “i reati erano comprovati“. Con tutto il governo impegnato a lanciarsi all’attacco della gip Tiziana Landoni che ha disposto la liberazione di Youssef Siher, Antonio Tajani, mercoledì, è riuscito a distinguersi arrivando a stabilire con queste parole la colpevolezza del 30enne accusato di istigazione a delinquere aggravata dalla finalità di terrorismo e violenza organizzata nelle manifestazioni pubbliche. Ma questa deriva giustizialista del leader di Forza Italia non è piaciuta ad alcune anime rilevanti del suo partito. Così, appena il giorno dopo, sui giornali e sui social, a prendere una posizione diversa sono due nomi come Letizia Moratti e Stefania Craxi.

Nella mattinata di giovedì, la senatrice forzista, figlia dell’ex leader socialista, pubblica sul suo profilo Instagram delle card per celebrare l’approvazione, proprio il giorno prima, della Legge Costa: ” Stop alla gogna, il sospetto non può sopravvivere alla verità giudiziaria – scrive la senatrice Craxi – Il testo Costa sulla pubblicità delle sentenze di assoluzione è legge. Una battaglia di Forza Italia, portata avanti con determinazione, che diventa una risposta concreta a una questione di civiltà giuridica”. È bastato il riferimento alla “gogna” per far associare a molti commentatori il tema al caso specifico di Siher. Ma è il contenuto delle card che segna la rottura più netta con le parole di Tajani: “Immagina di essere accusato di un reato che non hai mai commesso – si legge – Immagina di finire su tutti i giornali accusato di quel reato. Immagina di essere stato assolto e che nessuno dia la notizia, intanto la tua vita è stata stravolta. Stop alla gogna. Non si può consentire che il sospetto sopravviva alla verità giudiziaria“.

La verità giudiziaria, almeno per il momento, è che la giudice del Tribunale di Milano, nelle 37 pagine di ordinanza, ha stabilito non solo che non vi fossero gli estremi per convalidare il fermo di Siher in carcere, ma anche che non esistano gravi indizi di colpevolezza rispetto ai reati contestati, al contrario di quanto sostiene Tajani. “Le condotte poste in essere dall’indagato, così come risultanti dalle acquisizioni investigative dianzi richiamate, non sono, allo stato, sussumibili, nel delitto di istigazione a commettere reati”, scrive Landoni. Motivazioni sufficienti, dato che arrivano direttamente da un giudice, per Craxi e la sua battaglia.

Dalle pagine del Foglio, anche un altro nome di peso del partito ha assunto posizioni ben distanti da quelle scomposte del ministro Tajani: Letizia Moratti. La presidente della Consulta della segreteria nazionale di Forza Italia, nel suo intervento, precisa che, personalmente, nutre “forti perplessità sulla sua scarcerazione“, ma “rispetto naturalmente la decisione della magistratura, oltre ad esprimere solidarietà ed immutata stima alle forze dell’ordine. Le indagini proseguiranno e sarà la giustizia, nella sua autonomia, ad accertare eventuali responsabilità”.

Nessuna condanna delle decisioni della gip, come fatto invece da Tajani. Anzi, Moratti prende il caso di Siher ad esempio per evidenziare quello che sembra considerare un paradosso: “Un uomo che ha contestato radicalmente lo Stato e le sue istituzioni, che attraverso i social ha promosso una mobilitazione segnata da una durissima e violenta contrapposizione alle istituzioni, evocando una ‘guerra a questo presente’, oggi è libero per decisione di un giudice di quello stesso Stato. Proprio lo Stato rappresentato come un nemico da combattere e abbattere (anche se Siher non ha mai manifestato nei suoi messaggi intenzioni di questo genere, ndr) ha garantito a Siher un giudice indipendente. Gli ha garantito il diritto alla difesa. Gli ha garantito la presunzione di innocenza. Ha sottoposto l’azione della propria Procura al controllo di un’altra autorità giudiziaria. E quando quel giudice ha ritenuto che non vi fossero i presupposti per convalidare il fermo, lo Stato ha aperto la porta della sua cella. È difficile immaginare una dimostrazione più limpida della forza della democrazia“.

• Tesla Robotaxi expanded its service area in Houston on Monday by more than 200 square miles.
• Riders in the area reported issues with robotaxis taking longer-than-usual routes.
• In one test, a rider reported a 40-minute ride to travel two blocks in downtown Houston.

Users of Tesla Robotaxi are reporting routing issues with the autonomous ride-hailing provider as the company continues to expand its service area in Texas.

Tesla announced on Monday that it had significantly expanded the Houston geofence, a designated area where riders can hail a robotaxi, with boundary lines resembling the shape of a rocket — an apparent reference to Elon Musk's SpaceX. The two companies are exploring a potential merger through "special committees of independent directors," Musk has said.

"Houston, we have liftoff," an X post from the Tesla Robotaxi account said. "Bigger service area now live."

The new Houston service area represents an estimated additional 229 square miles, RobotaxiTracker, a third-party website that tracks autonomous-vehicle progress in the US, reported. The coverage area dwarfs that of Waymo's geofence in the same city, which only covers about 50 square miles.

Some users, however, are reporting that the robotaxi takes unusually long routes and that not every part of the new geofence is actually available.

Hy Luu, a content creator and Tesla enthusiast, posted footage on his Instagram showing his first ride in a Tesla Robotaxi, from his house to his office — about a 13-mile drive.

In the video, he said the car took about 25 minutes to arrive. He was picked up at 8 a.m. and dropped off at 9:23 a.m.

Luu told Business Insider that the commute in his Tesla Model 3, with Full Self-Driving (Supervised), typically takes about 45 minutes.

"I think most people would not use this service as it is now because of the wait times for the car coming and then the detours it takes," Luu told Business Insider.

A Tesla spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.

In an X post on Tuesday, Ethan McKanna, founder of the RobotaxTracker site, also shared a screen recording of the Tesla Robotaxi app displaying "location not available" whenever a pin was dropped at random points within the geofence.

In other posts from McKanna, one route showed a three-hour walk to the pick-up point, while another ride showed a 40-minute trip to travel two blocks in downtown Houston.

"I get they were doing it so they could get the starship shape, but again this is another poor experience point," McKanna wrote of the recent expansion.

McKanna added in another thread that, aside from those issues, "the service feels really good in Houston," with reasonable wait times, a large service area, and a better ride experience than Waymo.

Routing issues are not unique to Tesla.

Business Insider previously reported that Alphabet's Waymo appeared to avoid certain roads to reach a destination despite faster options.

A robotaxi may exclude some routes to avoid certain roads, such as those with railroad tracks, or to avoid highways if the service has not yet been made available, although those reasons don't account for every routing choice.

In recent weeks, Tesla has been working to scale up its robotaxi service, following the deployment of its purpose-built, two-door Cybercab on public roads in September.

Data from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles showed the company has registered about 200 Cybercabs in the past week. That's separate from cars that are actively deployed.

Luu said in an interview that robotaxis aren't as ubiquitous in Houston. He hasn't tried a Waymo yet.

"Houston's a lot bigger," he said. "People normally drive 25 miles to get anywhere, so it's definitely a lot longer commutes."

Los Ángeles, EEUU, 28 oct (Prensa Latina) Jay-Z, quien disfruta hoy de reconocido prestigio en el ámbito musical, protagonizará el show de medio tiempo del Super Bowl LXI en 2027, una actuación que celebrará los 30 años de su álbum debut Reasonable Doubt.

• Jay-Z will headline the Super Bowl LXI halftime show on Sunday, February 14.
• It will be an amazing show, but there are some others we'd love to see perform in the future.
• We'd love to see Ariana Grande or Miley Cyrus headline the halftime show in 2028 and beyond.

The Super Bowl halftime show is part of the most-watched TV event of the year — it's sometimes viewed more than the game itself.

That's why the choice of performer is important: It's the biggest stage in the country.

For the next Super Bowl, Jay-Z was chosen by, well, himself, to perform at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, home of the Los Angeles Chargers and the Los Angeles Rams. This is amazing news for any fans of the "99 Problems" rapper who missed the "Jay-Z 30" tour, which celebrated the 30th anniversary of his debut album, "Reasonable Doubt," and the 25th anniversary of his landmark album, "The Blueprint."

"From 'Reasonable Doubt' to standing on the Super Bowl halftime stage, this has been a journey," the rapper said in a statement. "Thirty years of music, work, and culture on the world's biggest stage. This run continues to be a dream come true."

Of course, it doesn't hurt that his wife, Beyoncé, might be compelled to join her husband onstage to perform one of their iconic duets.

While next year's show is sure to be iconic, we have some suggestions for performers for the next couple of years, from Stevie Wonder to Olivia Rodrigo.

Ariana Grande has many successful albums, and she always brings the vocals.

Grande has eight albums worth of hits, including "The Way," "Problem," "Thank U Next," "Into You," "Everyday," "Positions," "The Boy Is Mine," "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)," "Hate That I Made You Love Me," plus the entire "Wicked" soundtrack ... the list goes on. Many of her hits include collaborations with other giant stars, like Nicki Minaj, Lizzo, Childish Gambino, Future, Jessie J, Zedd, and Missy Elliot, which would make for a great halftime show.

The Super Bowl halftime show is just the next logical step in her quest for world domination, and we're here for it.

It's surprising that Taylor Swift, arguably the biggest musical artist in the world, has never headlined the halftime show.

Everyone knows Taylor Swift can put on a show, whether you love her or hate her. Just think about the Eras Tour. Imagine that level of production at the Super Bowl.

Swift is also known for her cross-genre music — she could perform songs that appeal to everyone.

And now that she officially owns all her own music and has released a few bonus songs to add to her 12th album, "The Life of a Showgirl," Swift has more content than ever to pull from.

However, she has said that she won't do the Super Bowl while her husband, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, is still playing football, so we might have to wait a couple of years.

We're all still obsessed with Queen, who have been touring with Adam Lambert as the lead singer for more than a decade.

The NFL loves a classic rock performance, as evidenced by past performers such as The Who, the Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, and more. But Queen, arguably one of the most theatrical rock bands of all time, has never taken the stage.

Lambert toured with Queen for years and even performed with them at the 2019 Oscars, so he is clearly fan-approved as the band's lead singer. Just picture an entire stadium stomping along to "We Will Rock You" — it's a guaranteed good time.

Stevie Wonder shared the stage in 1999, but is long overdue for his own show.

At Super Bowl XXXIII, Stevie Wonder performed with Gloria Estefan and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. But he only got to sing a few songs, and Wonder is an artist with enough No. 1 hits to fill a 20-track album.

The Super Bowl hasn't had a more "classic" headliner since The Who in 2010. Wonder would be a solid return to form.

Pink is famous for her aerial stunts during performances — just picture her hanging from a stadium ceiling.

After her moving performance at the 2018 Grammys, Pink showed that she can do both: serious performances and high-flying spectacles.

Over 20 years after her debut album (and still cranking out hits like "Can We Pretend," "Walk Me Home," and "Never Gonna Not Dance Again"), Pink is more than capable of headlining the halftime show.

Britney Spears appeared alongside Justin Timberlake (in his NSYNC days) in 2001. She should have headlined the show before he did.

In the words of Spears herself, she's "a put-on-a-show kind of girl." One of the most iconic live performances of all time involved Spears and a gigantic python. There's no limit to what she could do on a Super Bowl-sized budget.

Now that she's been released from her restrictive conservatorship, Spears is free to perform (or not!) if she wants to, and there would be no better place than the Super Bowl.

Justin Bieber is firmly back at the top of the charts, so he has both new songs and plenty of hits to pull from.

It's been a good few years for the Biebs. He released two albums ("Swag" and "Swag II") and was announced as one of the headliners of Coachella in 2026. It would've been cool for him to do the Super Bowl show as well, but we predict he'll be releasing hits for years to come.

Besides his jams like "What Do U Mean," "Sorry," "Where Are U Now," "Baby," "Boyfriend," "Daisies," and "Yukon," Bieber also has a solid stable of collaborators he could bring onstage with him — of course, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee for "Despacito," but also Chance the Rapper, Quavo,  DJ Khaled and Lil Wayne for "I'm the One," and "No Brainer," Post Malone for "Forever," The Kid Laroi for "Stay," Daniel Caesar and Giveon for "Peaches," and even Billie Eilish on their version of "Bad Guy."

Miley Cyrus clearly knows how to put on a show.

The "Bangerz" tour will always be famous for one thing: Miley Cyrus entering through a gigantic version of her head and sliding down her tongue.

Cyrus has always known how to get people talking, starting with her pole-dancing at the VMAs during "Party in the USA" and her twerking on Robin Thicke.

After a subdued album, "Younger Now," the wilder side of her is back with a vengeance, with her eye-popping music video for "Mother's Daughter" and the heartbreak bop "Flowers," an ode to being single and loving it.

Her 2020 album "Plastic Hearts" was her first foray into real rock music, and — as we know — there's nothing the NFL loves more than rock 'n' roll. She could even bring out Talking Heads to perform "Psycho Killer," which she covered in 2024.

"Bass Persuades" might not be her strongest work, but as our own Callie Ahlgrim has pointed out, it doesn't matter: "Miley is in a league of her own."

Janet Jackson deserves to make a return.

Janet Jackson will forever be known as the first-ever Super Bowl victim of a wardrobe malfunction. But she's so much more than that: an amazing dancer and a talented vocalist, for starters.

And she's paid for "Nipplegate" ever since, even though it wasn't her fault. According to Rolling Stone, CBS rescinded Jackson's invitation to the Grammys that year, while Timberlake attended ... and even won. (He has since apologized for "falling short" and benefiting "from a system that condones misogyny and racism.")

If we're dreaming big, perhaps Outkast could reunite on the Super Bowl stage.

Outkast consists of two of the greatest rappers of all time, Big Boi and André 3000. Those two provided us with some of the best rap songs (or just songs, in general) of all time, including "Hey Ya!," "Ms. Jackson," "So Fresh, So Clean," "B.O.B.," "Roses," and more.

As the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show proved, classic rap and hip hop is becoming just as "classic" as classic rock and inspires the same amount of nostalgia. What would be more fun than seeing Outkast reunite for the first time in over a decade — they last performed together in 2016 — and on the biggest stage of the year?

Being the youngest headliner of the Super Bowl would just be another record for Billie Eilish to break.

Eilish is already the youngest person to win the big four at the Grammys (best new artist, song, record, and album of the year), the youngest person to headline Coachella, the youngest artist to record a theme for a Bond film ... the list goes on.

Bruno Mars is currently the youngest musician ever to do it; he was 28 when he headlined in 2014. Eilish, who's now 24, still has some time to take the record. Perhaps when she releases her highly anticipated fourth album, it'll be time.

Olivia Rodrigo could be another solid Gen Z candidate.

Rodrigo's third album, "You Seem Pretty Sad For a Girl So in Love," just solidified what we already know: Rodrigo is a generational talent and a true rock star.

"Drop Dead," "Stupid Song," "Expectations" (with or without Chappell Roan), "Good 4 U," "Vampire," "Drivers License," and "Get Him Back!" are all bangers that would fill up a stadium.

Harry Styles is a Brit we'd love to see — especially if the Packers are in.

Styles, somewhat inexplicably, is a Green Bay Packers fan and even has the "G" tattooed on his body. That's true dedication.

The former boyband star's "Together, Together" tour is currently burning down Madison Square Garden for a whopping 30 nights spread from August to November.

Besides his own quite expansive solo catalog and demonstrated ability to rock any stadium he's in, imagine the power of a One Direction reunion at the Super Bowl. Chills.

The Kremlin confirmed Tuesday, September 1st, 2026, that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping discussed the possibility of a trilateral face-to-face meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, scheduled for November 18-19th, in Shenzhen, China.

The meeting is still in the planning stages but the American thug-in-chief an indispensable party has already agreed to attend. Few eyebrows have been raised so far because the American component is a habitual liar so what he says and what he does may not correlate. The Summit in China is a month away. But a chance to meet with two of his closest friends  and allies will not be missed by the evil clown in the White House.

The American thug’s most accommodating American accomplice and equally mendacious voice has simply repeated what he has said so often in the past: that it is necessary to speak with your adversaries, thus keeping the American people guessing. In the bizarre world of Donald J. Trump, Putin is not an adversary. Little Marco may still speak differently so as to present a view that most Americans share, but he is a quisling concerned about his own future. That for him is more important than anything else. Fear and ambition are two quite compelling factors.

Trump has characterized the trilateral meeting as intended for a discussion of the need for de-nuclearization among three of the world’s largest nuclear powers. However, this is another one of Trump’s lies. or simply a a cover-up. Putin has insisted for some time that China participate in trilateral talks about the war in Ukraine. Putin has also insisted that Ukraine not be invited to participate. This is simply another example of Trump complying with Putin’s wishes. That is what agents or surrogates do.

The Summit will result in a trade-off but not for Ukraine’s benefit. As far as Ukraine is concerned, it will be a sellout, like all previous summits involving Trump and the Russian thug Vladimir Putin. One can only consider Helsinki in 2018 or Alaska in 2025. The self-proclaimed American master of the deal has repeatedly proven himself incompetent at deal-making. Or perhaps his shameless results are intentional. There will be personal gain from yet another nefarious arrangement.The American thug is silent on this point. Little Marco will spin an excuse for this aberration as well. There will most certainly be some personal benefit for Trump and his family.

The President of Ukraine wakes up each day to a new betrayal by his American “ally,” more death and destruction of his people and land, but with his eyes wide open that Trump is the enemy. President Zelensky is astute and principled, but also a very good actor; he often plays the Biblical “Job,” yet even his patience has its limitations. A trilateral summit of thugs about ending the war in Ukraine without Ukraine is a non starter. Ukraine will not be bullied. The people of Ukraine will not allow that.

The agenda for the axis of evil meeting includes one more item. No one is considering denuclearizing. The power must be distributed between the three behemoths. Ukraine is certain to be sold off. Taiwan may be next. And Cuba may be another victim of the sphere of influence division of the world. Certainly Russia will give up any interest in destitute Cuba in order to take over rich Ukraine. For Russia Ukraine has been the prize for almost four hundred years.

The axis is mutually accommodating. Currently, Russia stayed out of Syria and Iran. It relinquishes Cuba. America purchases Russian diesel, integrates Russia into the world economy at the G20. China retrieves Taiwan, America and Russia agrees to stay out of any China-India conflict. With Ukraine Russia stands at the gates to Europe. America feels secure in its defensive posture by having encroached on Greenland’s military sovereignty. Everyone is happy except for the remaining almost two hundred countries in the world.

The biggest obstacle is Ukraine. The people of Ukraine remain committed to freedom and democracy. Each day I receive several inquiries from Ukraine: “When will this Trump nightmare end?” . The midterm elections remain a beacon of hope for Ukrainians and Americans alike. Trump will attend the November China summit as a lame duck with Congress set to begin his third impeachment. in January. Ukrainians can pray. Americans must vote. Let the hearings and investigations begin. Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, the commander-in-chief is a traitor and a criminal. It will all come out. We the people have had enough!

For years, the idea of speaking forthrightly to China would evoke an admonition from the US State Department and most of the American policymaking class: “We can’t do that.
