Nepal police arrest former prime minister and former home minister over September protest deaths
KATHMANDU, Nepal — Police in Nepal arrested former Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Oli early Saturday over the deaths of dozens of people during violent protests in September that toppled the government and resulted in new elections.
Authorities arrested the powerful communist leader at his residence on the outskirts of the capital Kathmandu. They also arrested Ramesh Lekhak, the former home minister who has been accused of ordering authorities to fire on protesters.
Home Minister Sudan Gurung announced the arrests on social media.
“No one is above the law. We have taken former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and former home minister Ramesh Lekhak under control,” Gurung said. “This is not revenge against anyone, it is just the beginning of justice.”
An investigation by a commission set up by the government called for punishment of up to 10 years in prison for Oli, Lekhak and the chief of police at the time of the protests.
Several trucks of police officers in riot gear conducted the arrests at the mens’ homes before taking them to the Kathmandu District Police office.
The arrests come a day after a new government headed by rapper-turned-politician Balendra Shah took office following a landslide win in parliamentary election earlier this month by his Rastriya Swatantra Party.
Shah and Gurung have promised justice for those killed and wounded.
The election was the country’s first since the youth-led protests against corruption and poor governance on Sept. 8 and Sept. 9 that left 76 people dead and more than 2,300 injured. Angry mobs burned down the offices of the prime minister and president, police stations and the homes of top politicians who were forced to flee on army helicopters.
The demonstrations fueled by “Gen Z” activists forced the Sept. 12 appointment of Nepal’s first female prime minister, Sushila Karki, a retired Supreme Court judge who served during the transition leading up to the election.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Tiger Woods‘ mugshot was released Friday night, hours after he was arrested on a DUI charge following a car crash in Florida.
Woods’ eyes appeared bloodshot, as he donned a blue polo inside the Martin County Jail in Florida.

Authorities said Woods “exemplified signs of impairment.” He blew “triple-zeroes” for alcohol but refused a urine test.
“DUI investigators came to the scene here, and Mr. Woods did exemplify signs of impairment. They did several tests on him. Of course, he did explain the injuries and the surgeries that he had. We did take that into account, but they did do some in-depth roadside tests,” Budensiek added.
“We really weren’t suspicious of alcohol being involved in this case, and that proved to be true at the jail. … But when it came time for us to ask for a urinalysis test, he refused. And, so, he’s been charged with DUI, with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.”
Woods was spotted on the phone after the crash, wearing navy blue shorts.

VANESSA, KAI TRUMP TAKE IN TIGER WOODS’ RETURN TO GOLF AT TGL FINALS
“This could’ve been a lot worse,” Budensiek noted.
President Donald Trump to the arrest of his “very close friend.”
“I feel so badly. He’s got some difficulty,” Trump said. “There was an accident, and that’s all I know. Very close friend of mine. He’s an amazing person, an amazing man, but some difficulty.”
Woods has not commented on the arrest.
Woods currently is dating Trump’s ex-daughter-in-law, Vanessa, whose daughter, Kai, is set to play college golf in Miami next week.
This is Woods’ second DUI arrest within the last decade. In 2017, he was taken into custody, also in Jupiter Island, after taking prescription drugs and being asleep behind the wheel of a running car at 3 a.m.
In 2021, he got into a wreck that resulted in serious leg injuries that kept him off the golf course for the entire year.

Woods made his return to competitive golf earlier this week in the TGL championship after rupturing his Achilles just before last year’s Masters (this year’s tournament is in less than two weeks). Woods has not appeared on the links since the 2024 PGA Championship, in which he missed the cut.

Apple quietly discontinues once-popular product: “End of an era”
Apple has discontinued the Mac Pro, ending production of one of its longest-running and most recognizable desktop computers after nearly two decades.
The company confirmed to 9to5Mac that the Mac Pro has been removed from its website and will not receive future updates.
The move marks the end of Apple’s high-end, modular workstation line, as Apple consolidates its Mac lineup around its in-house silicon chips, with newer devices like the Mac Studio taking on the role previously held by the Mac Pro.
Why It Matters
The Mac Pro was Apple’s most powerful and customizable desktop offering, used in industries such as film production, music and design.
Apple’s broader strategy appears focused on performance efficiency after transitioning away from Intel processors.
What To Know
First introduced in 2006, the Mac Pro evolved through several major redesigns, including the aluminum “cheese grater” tower and the controversial cylindrical model released in 2013.
The most recent version, launched in 2019 and later updated with Apple Silicon in 2023, started at $6,999.
Despite its legacy, the Mac Pro had not received significant updates in recent years. According to Tom’s Hardware, the system “had been stuck with the M2 Ultra ever since” its last refresh, while newer chips debuted in other Macs.
At the same time, Apple introduced features such as connecting multiple machines via Thunderbolt, reducing the need for a single expandable workstation.
The company now offers three desktop options: the iMac, Mac mini and Mac Studio, with the latter positioned as the top-tier machine for professionals.
What People Are Saying
Many commenters on Reddit’s r/Apple forum were sad to see the option go.
“The Apple Silicon refresh of it was bizarre,” one commenter recalled. “So much empty space. Gorgeous design though, sad to see it go.”
Another added, “I feel like this marks the end of properly designed workstation towers. All the engineering that used to go into the thermals, cable management, and accessory fitment; are completely irrelevant now.
“Now, anything a laptop or mini-tower can’t do gets farmed off to a server.”
“I get it, but man.. I wish they’d do one final ridiculous Mac Pro with all the M5 and RAM without the form factor limitations from the MBs and Studio,” a third individual wrote.
“Just to see how far they can push it.”
One user, however, thought it was for the best: “Better than continuing to sell it without updating it. Mac Studio is the future. Can’t wait to see an M5 Ultra.”
What’s Next
Apple’s professional desktop lineup is now centered on the Mac Studio, which offers high-end configurations with newer chips and significantly lower starting prices than the Mac Pro.
Newsweek has reached out to Apple for comment via email.
Sportscaster Jim Gray says Tiger Woods’ DUI arrest is ‘another cry for help’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Tiger Woods was taken into custody after a rollover crash on Jupiter Island, Florida, Friday, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office confirmed.
At a press conference, Sheriff John Budensiek said the five-time Masters winner was traveling at “a high rate of speed” when his vehicle collided with another car, causing it to roll over onto the driver’s side.
Budensiek added that Woods appeared to have exited the vehicle by “crawling” out of the passenger side.
Fox News contributor Jim Gray said Woods’ crash and subsequent arrest mark the latest chapter in what he called an ongoing “sad story.”

“It is a sad story, and it continues to be a sad story. We’ve all been thrilled with him watching him playing golf. He’s a national treasure (and) an international icon, perhaps the greatest ever. Jack Nicklaus has more majors, but Tiger (is) widely acclaimed, is the greatest golfer ever,” Gray said Friday on “Special Report.”
TIGER WOODS STEPPING BACK INTO COMPETITIVE GOLF AS MASTERS LOOM
“To see this happen, not only once but twice, now the third time … and to have been able to survive the last time and to now go through it again, it just leads you to wonder who is surrounding him. Why does he keep getting in these circumstances? And he’s been so great with his driver on the course, perhaps he should get a driver to drive him.”

Authorities said Woods “exemplified signs of impairment.” He blew “triple-zeroes” for alcohol but refused a urine test.
“DUI investigators came to the scene here, and Mr. Woods did exemplify signs of impairment. They did several tests on him. Of course, he did explain the injuries and the surgeries that he had. We did take that into account, but they did do some in-depth roadside tests,” Budensiek added.
“We really weren’t suspicious of alcohol being involved in this case, and that proved to be true at the jail. … But when it came time for us to ask for a urinalysis test, he refused. And, so, he’s been charged with DUI, with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.”
Gray described the incident as a troubling pattern.
“It’s just another cry for help, it’s screaming out. At some point, somehow, some way, somebody has to get to him to get him this help. Get him a driver, get out from behind the wheel. When you’ve had this many surgeries, obviously we see this with professional sports all the time, numerous surgeries leads to just tremendous pain.
“And with that pain you’ve got to somehow try to curtail it, and it leads people down this path. I can’t speak to whether or not he’s gone down that path. I haven’t spoken to his doctor, and I haven’t spoken to him about it.
“But we do know from habits and from the patterns that we see from others and his own pattern, that something is drastically off here. Thankfully, he hasn’t hurt himself as bad as he did the last time, and he didn’t hurt anybody else.”
The Masters begins April 9 at Augusta National, and Woods recently said he has not ruled out playing in the season’s first major.
In the 14 majors since he won the green jacket in 2019, Woods has failed to muster a top 20 finish. It’s his longest such streak since failing to finish in the top 20 in the first six majors of his career in 1995 and 1996. In his last 26 majors, he has only four top 20 finishes.
Since finishing tied for ninth at the 2020 Farmers Insurance Open, his best finish in his 18 official events since then has been a tie for 37th at the 2020 PGA Championship.

“He’s given us so many thrills and so much joy. I think it would be a joy for all of us for us to see him get himself back together. To get through the pain. He’s had surgeries on his back, his neck, his Achilles, his knee … so on and so forth.
“They’ve all added up. Just to be able to see him smile and to be a part of the game and to be around his children and to be able to function normally would be a great joy for us going forward. He doesn’t have to live up to himself and what he’s done on the golf course in the past. That’s set in stone, and it’s set forever.”
Woods has not competed in a professional golf tournament since 2024, when he competed in just five events — the Genesis Invitational and the four majors. He withdrew from the Genesis, finished dead last in the Masters and missed the cut in the other majors.

Woods mugshot released after driving under influence charges
Sheriff Budensiek told reporters at a news conference that the crash had happened after Woods allegedly attempted to overtake a pressure cleaner truck at a “high rate of speed”.
DUI investigators came to the scene and “Mr Woods did exemplify signs of impairment”, the sheriff said.
“They did several tests on him,” Budensiek told reporters. “He did explain the injuries and surgeries that he’s had and we did take that into account, but they did some in-depth roadside tests.”
He was placed under arrest after the incident, which took place on Beach Road in Jupiter Island just before 14:00 (19:00 GMT) on Friday.
The sheriff explained that investigators at the scene and jail were “really not suspicious of alcohol being involved” and Woods ultimately passed a breathalyser test with “triple zeros”. But, he added, Woods then refused a urine test.
Budensiek also said Woods had been “co-operative but was trying not to incriminate himself”.
“He has a right to refuse that test,” added the sheriff. “There is a statute which he will be charged with for refusing to take that test, but we will never get definitive results as to what he was impaired on at the time of the crash.”
US President Donald Trump was asked about the crash on Friday, saying: “I feel so badly. [Woods has] got some difficulty. There was an accident. That’s all I know.
“He’s a very close friend of mine, he’s an amazing person, an amazing man.”
Sheriff Budensiek said Woods would remain in jail for eight hours then be released on bond. The charges are misdemeanours, not felonies.
The BBC has contacted the golfer’s representatives for comment.

Judge orders better attorney access at Florida’s ‘Alligator Alcatraz’
FORT MYERS, Fla. — A state-run immigration detention facility in the Florida Everglades known as “Alligator Alcatraz” must provide people detained there with better access to their attorneys, a federal judge ruled Friday.
U.S. District Judge Sheri Polster Chappell issued a preliminary injunction saying Alligator Alcatraz officials must provide access to timely, free, confidential, unmonitored, unrecorded outgoing legal calls. They must also provide at least one operable telephone for every 25 people held in the facility. The order also outlined information that must be made available to the detained people and their attorneys in multiple languages.
Attorneys previously filed statements with a federal court in Fort Myers saying their clients were unable to call them using staff cellphones and the attorneys were unable to make unannounced visits to the facility.
A state contractor testified in January that both options were available to detained people and their attorneys during a hearing over whether people held at the facility were getting adequate access to their lawyers.
The Florida Department of Emergency Management, the state agency overseeing the detention center, didn’t respond to an emailed inquiry Friday. The Everglades facility was built last summer at a remote airstrip by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration to support President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. Florida also has built a second immigration detention center in north Florida.
The lawsuit from people formerly held at the Everglades facility claims that their First Amendment rights were violated. They say attorneys have to make an appointment to visit three days in advance, unlike at other immigration detention facilities where lawyers can just show up during visiting hours; that detained people often are transferred to other facilities before their attorneys’ appointments to see them; and that scheduling delays have been so lengthy that detainees were unable to meet with attorneys before key deadlines.
State officials who are defendants in the lawsuit have denied restricting detained people’s access to their attorneys and cited security and staffing reasons for any challenges. Federal officials who also are defendants denied that detainees’ First Amendment rights were violated.
