Behind bars but not silenced: Veteran Turkish columnist perseveres through 'prison journalism'

Behind bars but not silenced: Veteran Turkish columnist perseveres through 'prison journalism'

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkishjournalist Fatih Altaylihas been imprisoned, but his reporting remains defiantly alive. From behind bars, the veteran journalist delivers news and sharp political commentary on his YouTube channel through letters relayed by his lawyers. The letters are read aloud by an assistant in an initiative Altayli's peers have dubbed "prison journalism." "Fatih Altayli has launched a new form of journalism: prison journalism," fellow journalist Murat Yetkin, wrote on his news website, Yetkin Report. "Drawing on visits from legislators, letters, and his lawyers — he continues his journalism uninterrupted, conveying not only information from inside but also insights about the outside world." Altayli, whose YouTube program attracts hundreds of thousands of views daily, was arrested in June on charges of threateningPresident Recep Tayyip Erdogan, an accusation he strongly denies. Critics say his arrest, which comes amid adeepening crackdown on the opposition, was aimed at silencing a government critic. Prosecutors accuse Altayli of issuing and publicly disseminating a threat, a criminal charge under Turkish penal law, and are seeking a minimum five-year prison sentence. The first hearing of the trial is set for Friday. The charges stem from a comment he made on his YouTube program, "Fatih Altayli Comments," following a recent poll that reportedly showed more than 70% of the public opposed a lifetime presidency for Erdogan, who has been in power for more than two decades. On the show, Altayli said he wasn't surprised by the results of the poll and that the Turkish people preferred checks on authority. "Look at the history of this nation," he said. "This is a nation which strangled its sultan when they didn't like him or want him. There are quite a few Ottoman sultans who were assassinated, strangled, or whose deaths were made to look like suicide." The 63-year-old journalist, columnist and television presenter whose career spans decades, was detained from his home on June 21, a day after the comment was aired - and charged with threatening the president. The Istanbul Bar Association described the detention order against Altayli as unlawful, insisting that his comment did not constitute a "threat" and should be considered as freedom of expression. The government-run Department for Combating Disinformation has responded to criticism over Altayli's arrest, insisting that issuing a threat is a criminal offense and denouncing what it described as a coordinated campaign to manipulate public opinion and present the alleged threat as freedom of expression. Altayli has since turned his cell in the notorious high-security Silivri prison near Istanbul — now renamed Marmara Prison Campus — into a newsroom of sorts. He often writes commentary critical of the political climate that led to his imprisonment and shares news he gathers from a steady stream of visitors, including politicians and legal advisers. The YouTube program, now rebranded as "Fatih Altayli Cannot Comment," opens with the journalist's empty chair. His assistant, Emre Acar, reads Altayli's letter out loud before a guest commentator, which has included journalists, politicians, academicians, actors and musicians, temporarily occupies the seat and delivers his or her views in a show of support. Altayli's written commentaries, meanwhile, continue to be published on his personal website. Yetkin said many had assumed that because of his privileged lifestyle, Altayli would bow to pressure. "But Fatih didn't bow. I won't say he's maintained his line; he's elevated it. In my view, he's standing firmer than before," Yetkin wrote. Altayli's "prison journalism" has included an interview with fellow inmateEkrem Imamoglu,the mayor of Istanbul, who was arrested in March on corruption charges. That interview was conducted through written questions and answers exchanged through their lawyers. Altayli also gives news of other prominent prisoners at Silivri. With a majority of mainstream media in Turkey owned by pro-government businesses or directly controlled by the government, many independent journalists have lost their jobs and have turned to YouTube for uncensored reporting. A total of 17 journalists and other media sector workers, including Altayli, are currently behind bars, according to the Turkish Journalists' Syndicate. The government insists the journalists face prosecution for criminal acts, not for their journalistic work.

Daniel Day-Lewis and his director son want to reteam for a movie 'that explores humor more'

Daniel Day-Lewis and his director son want to reteam for a movie 'that explores humor more'

John Nacion/Variety via Getty Good news for those onDaniel Day-Lewisretirement watch. The acting legend emerged on screen for the first time in eight years to star in his son's directorial debut,Anemone, a dark, brooding tale of two estranged brothers with a painful past. The film, also starring Sean Bean, hits theaters this weekend, but its director, Ronan Day-Lewis, says he and his dad are already thinking about the future — and it's looking uncharacteristically funny. "We both would love to do something else together if we find the right thing that we can both really get obsessed with in the same way that we did with this," the younger Day-Lewis tellsEntertainment Weekly. "We've talked about wanting to do something that explores humor more, actually," he adds. "I don't know about acomedy, but something really different tonally toAnemone." And not justAnemone. Known for his intense, transformative dramatic roles like Bill "the Butcher" Cutting, Daniel Plainview inThere Will Be Blood, and Reynolds Woodcock inPhantom Thread, Day-Lewis doesn't often show his funny side. The satireMy Beautiful Laundrette(1985) and comedyStars and Bars(1988) are two rare exceptions. Courtesy of Focus Features No matter the genre, fans of the three-time Oscar winner will be thrilled that the actor is even considering returning to the screen. After 2017'sPhantom Thread, which reunited him withThere Will Be Bloodfilmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, Day-Lewisannounced his retirementin a statement via his representative that same year. He hassince backtracked, recently tellingRolling Stone, "I never meant to retire from anything! I just wanted to work on something else for a while." Still, it took a project co-written with his own son to finally bring him back to the big screen. Ronan, a first-time filmmaker, had been writing the script forAnemonewith Day-Lewis for years, and "always knew" that his father would play the lead role of Ray, a reclusive veteran hiding a dark secret. "In a way, I guess it felt like a hurdle, but it was less me trying to get him out of retirement; it was more like, I think we had the desire to try to do something together, but we didn't know if it would ever materialize into a full script that we were both excited enough about to really pursue. And up until very late in the writing process, he had so much ambivalence about coming back and doing it." As exciting as it was for Ronan to land arguably the greatest living actor for his debut film, the 27-year-old admits he also felt pressure to direct a movie worthy of his father's legacy. Courtesy of Focus Features "A hundred percent," he says when asked if he felt that responsibility. "I mean, I was terrified at first for so many different reasons. I thought that if I did get to make a film, my feature debut would not be in such close association with him. There's a lot of baggage obviously with that in terms of how I anticipated the project being looked at, and also the rightful expectations anyone has of a film that he's involved in." Want more movie news? Sign up forEntertainment Weekly'sfree newsletterto get the latest trailers, celebrity interviews, film reviews, and more. He adds, "So, it's a lot of pressure for a first film. That definitely gave me pause, but then I was imagining looking back on this in 10 years, and if I didn't take this chance to collaborate with him in this way, it would've really haunted me. The script, at a certain point, gave us no choice but to pursue it." See what is hopefully the first of many father-son collaborations in theaters on Friday.

Delta jets have 'low-speed collision' on the ground at New York's LaGuardia, injuring 1

NEW YORK (AP) — Two Delta Air Lines regional jets collided Wednesday night while on the taxiway at LaGuardia Airport in New York, injuring at least one person in what the airline described as a "low-speed collision." The wing of an aircraft getting ready to take off to Roanoke, Virginia, hit the fuselage of an aircraft arriving from Charlotte, North Carolina, according to a statement from Delta. A flight attendant had non-life threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital, according a statement from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. There were no reports of passengers injured, the airline said. The rest of the airport's operations were not expected to be impacted, according to Delta. "Delta will work with all relevant authorities to review what occurred as safety of our customers and people comes before all else," the statement from Delta said. "We apologize to our customers for the experience." The Delta Connection aircraft involved in the collision are operated by Endeavor Air.

Federal workers' tough year has seen DOGE, government shutdown. Now they face new layoffs

Federal workers' tough year has seen DOGE, government shutdown. Now they face new layoffs

It's been a tough year to be a federal worker. One of PresidentDonald Trump's day one orders on Jan. 20 was the establishment of the "U.S. Department of Government Efficiency"to reduce spending and eliminate "waste, bloat, and insularity" in the federal bureaucracy. Within less than a month, agency heads were ordered to undertake preparations to initiate widespread layoffs. The primary targets wereprobationary employeesacross multiple federal agencies. People wait in line to enter the Federal Building in Los Angeles, California on October 1, 2025, where services are experiencing significant disruptions due to the federal government shutdown, as essential workers continue working without pay and non-essential federal workers are furloughed.With the government out of money after President Donald Trump and lawmakers failed to agree on a deal to keep the lights on, many federal departments and agencies have been closed since midnight. See what remains open and what has closed. And now, with the government shut down, many of the remaining employees are furloughed without pay and facing a potential new round of layoffs. Federal civil servants have also endured constant ridicule of their worth by the president's allies. BillionaireElon Musk, who was tapped by Trump to head DOGE, was asked during the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, in February 2025 about the process of finding "waste" in Washington. "It's like being in a room and the wall, the roof, and the floor are all targets,"he said."So it's like, you're going to close your eyes and go shoot in any direction. You see, because you can't miss, you know?" The Trump administration initiated sweeping cuts in the workforce − the federal government is the nation's largest employer, with nearly3 millioncivilian employees − through layoffs, forced relocations and a deferred resignation program. As of Sept. 23, over 201,000 civil servants have left the workforce, according to the Partnership for Public Service. This includes the150,000 federal workers took the Trump administration's "Fork in the Road" buyout offer, resigning with pay and benefits through Sept. 30. Across the Cabinet agencies, the departments of War, Agriculture and the Treasury have seen the largest workforce reductions. The Department of War, also known as the Department of Defense, saw a reduction of 55,582 workers, the Treasury Department lost 30,267 workers and the Department of Agriculture shrunk by 21,564 employees. Health and Human Services SecretaryRobert F. Kennedy Jr.in March announced a majorrestructuring planincluding the consolidation of divisions from 28 to 15 and elimination of 20,000 full-time employees, saying it would save taxpayers $1.8 billion per year. In May, New York Attorney GeneralLetitia Jamesand 18 other Democratic state attorneys general filed a federal lawsuit challenging the move as "reckless, irrational, and dangerous" which leaves the federal government "unable to execute many of its most vital functions." It also decried the federal employees at HHS who were locked out of their work emails and computers on April 1, as well as abandoned experiments, canceled site visits and trainings and shuttered laboratories. Amid the impasse in Congress over federal spending and as the prospect of a government shutdown loomed, Trump threatened mass layoffs during an event at the Oval Office on Sept. 29. "They're taking a risk by having a shutdown. We can do things during the shutdown that are irreversible, that are bad for them and irreversible," Trump said of Democrats. "Like cutting vast numbers of people out, cutting things that they like, cutting programs that they like." At 12:01 a.m. on Oct. 1, the government shut down, resulting in the furlough of close to 750,000 federal workers and the shuttering of a slew of key programs and services. For example, the Food and Drug Administration'slonger-term food safety initiatives, including policy work to help prevent foodborne illnesses, would be halted and theNational Park Servicewill stop trash collection and road repairs. Federal employees whose jobs involve safety of human life or the protection of property, such as law enforcement, border control, active military, and air traffic controllers cannot be furloughed. The Office of Management and Budget directed agencies to consider extensive employee layoffs in unfunded programs that are not "administration priorities" under a government shutdown. "A reduction in the number of federal employees would reduce the daily cost of compensation for furloughed workers," Congressional Budget Office Director Phillip Swagel wrote in a letter to Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, describing the impacts of a potential shutdown. Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought framed the shutdown as an opportunity for the administration to achive its goal of reducing the federal workforce. "Let it be said there are all manners of authorities to be able to keep this administration's policy agenda moving forward, and that includes reducing the size and scope of the federal government, and we will be looking for opportunities to do that," Vought toldFox Business host Larry Kudlowon Sept. 30. The American Federation of Government Employees and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees on Sept. 30 filed a lawsuit challenging the administration's threats of a mass firing saying it was designed to "inflict punishment on, and further traumatize, federal employees throughout the nation." These actions are a "cynical use of federal employees as a pawn in Congressional deliberations" and "should be declared unlawful and enjoined by this Court," the lawsuit said. The White House showed no signs of backing away from its plan. During an Oct. 1 briefing with reporters, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said "layoffs are imminent." "They are, unfortunately, a consequence of this government shutdown," she said.

'Doesn't happen in Grand Blanc': Doctors detail race to care for church shooting victims

'Doesn't happen in Grand Blanc': Doctors detail race to care for church shooting victims

One medical resident at Henry Ford Genesys Hospital in Grand Blanc Township discovered his wife and children were attending church services Sept. 28, when a gunman rammed his truck into the chapel, opened fire and set the building ablaze. Two other medical residents from the hospital were at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints chapel and were injured in the attack. Other employees were attending the service and some raced in on their day off to help treat the wounded. "This type of stuff doesn't happen in Grand Blanc, Michigan," said Dr. Chris Ash, a general and trauma surgeon who was among those responding at the hospital. The doctors who work at Henry Ford Genesys Hospital spoke about the aftermath of theGrand Blanc Townshipshooting in a news conference Wednesday, Oct. 1, detailing how they raced to care for the wounded afterSunday's attack, which leftfour dead and eight injured. Police say a fifth person, the suspected gunman, also was killed. "Our resident whose kids were at church with his wife while he was operating with me that night at the hospital – his kids will never be the same," Ash said. Dr. Alan Janssen, the program director for Henry Ford Genesys Hospital's residency program, and Dr. Sanford Ross, the assistant director of the emergency department, were working that morning in the ER. "It was a bright, sunny day and a Sunday morning," Janssen said. "The combination of those two things usually means volumes are pretty low to start the day off. We didn't have very many patients in the department." Then, the phone rang. "It was ... one of my residents," Janssen said. "My resident was actually in the church and the resident said, 'There's an active shooter in our church.' That was before EMS had been called. That was before anyone else knew about this. So, initially, we just started preparing the emergency department." Janssen and Ross called the surgery and anesthesia departments and told the staff to prepare for a mass casualty situation. They called Ash, too. It took about 15 minutes for ambulances to arrive and for patients to come through the door, he said. In the time in between, the doctors prepped for a mass casualty event. They'd just had mass casualty training "a month or two ago," Ross said. "You always say it could happen, but it probably will happen, which is the unfortunate thing," he said. Janssen said as they jumped into action, they worked methodically to triage patients who needed to be stabilized, with more critical wounds than others. Of the eight people who were wounded and survived the mass shooting and fire, the first to get treatment at Henry Ford Genesys Hospital was a 6-year-old boy, said the doctor who cared for him. "His mom walked him through the front door," said Ross, the attending physician and assistant director of the emergency department, during the news conference. "He didn't shed one tear. He walked into the emergency room stoic. Mom was a wreck, which, as a parent, I completely understand, and what I did was I looked at the wound, had an idea of what was going on. I comforted them both by telling him and mom, 'You're going to get through this. You're going to be OK.' " The child was treated and released, Ash said. Ash said at least five hospital residents regularly attended services at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on McCandlish Road. Some of those residents jumped into action that day. "Some of them acted with heroics to pull people out of the fire, and they shared that story with us when they came in for their own treatment," he said. "This is deeply personal to our community." Ash said he hopes the attack will inspire people to "start having a little more grace and tolerance." "I'm from this community. I have lived 25-plus years here," he said. "These are our people. … They are part of our extended family, and to see them go through this and their families go through this is just heartbreaking. I've told a lot of people, words cannot describe the feeling. We really shouldn't have to go through this in any community."

Decades Ago, Hunter S. Thompson's Death Was Ruled a Suicide. Now, His Death is Being Reexamined

Decades Ago, Hunter S. Thompson's Death Was Ruled a Suicide. Now, His Death is Being Reexamined

Rose Hartman/Getty Journalist Hunter S. Thompson died by suicide in 2005 at his home in Aspen, Colo. His widow, Anita Thompson, requested that the Colorado Bureau of Investigations review the initial investigation into her late husband's death on account of "things she has been hearing from friends and possible relatives" Thompson was known for popularizing gonzo journalism and his bookFear and Loathing in Las Vegas When Hunter S. Thompson died at his Aspen, Colo. home in 2005, authorities ruled that the journalist died by suicide. Now, 20 years later, his cause of death is being reexamined. The writer's widow, Anita Thompson, requested a review of the Pitkin County Sheriff's Office's initial investigation. The PCSO has now referred the case to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation at Anita's request,NBC Newsreports. Pitkin County Sheriff Michael Buglione said in aSept. 30 press releasethat there is no new evidence of foul play in Thompson's death at this time. "We understand the profound impact Hunter S. Thompson had on this community and beyond," Buglione said. "By bringing in an outside agency for a fresh look, we hope to provide a definitive and transparent review that may offer peace of mind to his family and the public." Buglione toldThe Colorado Sunthat Anita's renewed interest in the investigation was prompted by "things she has been hearing from friends and possible relatives." However, Buglione told the outlet, "The sheriff's office has been confident over the last 20-plus years that the original investigation was exactly what happened." PEOPLE has reached out to the PCSO for comment. Thompson was best known for his work withRolling Stoneand his booksFear and Loathing in Las Vegas, published in 1971, andHell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga, published in 1967. A pioneer of the New Journalism movement, Thompson, who was 67 when he died, was widely credited for popularizing the method of "gonzo" journalism. Ron Galella, Ltd./Ron Galella Collection via Getty Gonzo journalism refers to a style of reporting in which the reporter directly inserts themselves into the story on which they are reporting, often relaying a first-person account of events. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegaswas later adapted into a film in 1998, which starredJohnny DeppandBenicio del Toro. Never miss a story — sign up forPEOPLE's free daily newsletterto stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer​​, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. In the days following Thompson's death,Anita told The Associated Pressthat her husband had spoken of ending his life before his death. He allegedly said he was at the "peak" of his life and, "if he quit now, he would feel he was a champion," she told the outlet. Anita said she argued against suicide during those discussions. "I threatened him, 'I'm out of here,' I wouldn't mourn, I would hate him," she said. "That's my biggest regret. I'm so sorry, Hunter. Yeah, that's my biggest regret."
