Donald Trump gloats over Late Show with Stephen Colbert axe
Donald Trump "absolutely loves" that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert has been cancelled. The 61-year-old presenter confirmed that CBS has pulled the plug on his nightly talk show on Thursday (17.07.25), with the final episode set to air in May, and the US president has weighed in on the news, admitting he is delighted that Stephen - who has hosted the programme since 2015 - has been "fired". Trump also couldn't resist taking swipes at two other talk show hosts, Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon. He wrote on Truth Social: 'I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. 'His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert! "[Fox News late night host] Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show.' Kimmel has offered support to Stephen in the wake of the cancellation. He wrote on Instagram: 'Love you Stephen. F*** you and all your Sheldons CBS.' And The Tonight Show host Fallon was "shocked" by the news. He wrote on Instagram: "I'm just as shocked as everyone. Stephen is one of the sharpest, funniest hosts to ever do it. I really thought I'd ride this out with him for years to come. I'm sad that my family and friends will need a new show to watch every night at 11:30. But honestly, he's really been a gentleman and a true friend over the years — going back to The Colbert Report, and I'm sure whatever he does next will be just as brilliant." Late Night host Seth Meyers has also expressed his support for Stephen. He said on Instagram: "For as great a comedian and host he is, Stephen Colbert is an even better person. I'm going to miss having him on TV every night but I'm excited he can no longer use the excuse that he's 'too busy to hang out' with me." Stephen announced the axing of The Late Show on Thursday. He said: "Before we start the show, I want to let you know something that I found out just last night. Next year will be our last season, the network will be ending The Late Show in May." Stephen - who replaced David Letterman at the helm in 2015 - added: "I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away. I do want to say that the folks at CBS have been great partners … And I'm grateful to the audience, you, who have joined us every night, in here, out there, and all around the world. "I am extraordinarily, deeply grateful to the 200 people who work here. We get to do this show. We get to do this show for each other every day, all day, and I've had the pleasure and the responsibility of sharing what we do every day with you in front of this camera for the last 10 years."

Australia's Tasmania on track for minority government after poll
SYDNEY (Reuters) -Australia's island state of Tasmania appeared on Sunday to be heading for a minority government as vote counting continued after an election that did not produce a clear winner. The conservative Liberal government was on track to win more seats than the main Labor opposition in the new parliament but would probably fall short of a majority after Saturday's election, the Australian Broadcasting Corp. projected. The Liberals' strong performance under Jeremy Rockliff, premier since 2022, follows a heavy defeat suffered at May's national election, which returned Anthony Albanese-led Labor for a second term with an increased majority. Saturday's vote showed Tasmanians have "no confidence in the Labor party to form government and they have voted to reendorse our Liberal government," Rockliff said in televised remarks from the state capital of Hobart. The result for Labor, on track to win nine seats of a possible 35, was shaping as the party's worst-ever result in Tasmania, the Guardian Australia newspaper said. On Sunday, state Labor leader Dean Winter said the result was disappointing for the party, but he did not concede defeat. The election was triggered by a no-confidence vote against Rockliff initiated by Labor on concerns about public debt and plans to privatise assets. It came less than two years after the state's most recent poll, in which a majority eluded the Liberals. The only Australian state to elect its lower house on the basis of proportional representation, Tasmania has a long history of minority governments. Wilderness or protected areas make up 40% of the island, which is 445 km (275 miles) away from Melbourne, usually requiring a flight of an hour, or a ferry crossing 10 times longer, to cover the distance.

Donald Trump Files Suit Against Rupert Murdoch, Dow Jones Over Wall Street Journal's Jeffrey Epstein Story
UPDATED: Donald Trump has followed through on his threat to sue Rupert Murdoch and his media companies over the Wall Street Journal's report on a bawdy letter in his name that was included in an album given to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003. A defamation lawsuit (read it here) was filed in a Florida federal court Friday seeing damages 'not less than $10 billion' and a jury trial. It names Murdoch, Journal publisher Dow Jones, parent company News Corp and its CEO Robert Thomson and the reporters on the story, Khadeeja Safdar and Joseph Palazzolo. More from Deadline Donald Trump Says He Plans To Sue Rupert Murdoch, And The Wall Street Journal Over Jeffrey Epstein Story — Update Donald Trump Celebrates CBS' Cancellation Of Stephen Colbert's 'The Late Show' Adam Schiff Talks Of Donald Trump's "Climate Of Fear" In 'Late Show' Guest Appearance; Senate Democrats Raise Questions Of CBS Cancellation - Update Trump confirmed the filing in a Truth Social post, writing in part, 'This lawsuit is filed not only on behalf of your favorite President, ME, but also in order to continue standing up for ALL Americans who will no longer tolerate the abusive wrongdoings of the Fake News Media.' He added, 'I hope Rupert and his 'friends' are looking forward to the many hours of depositions and testimonies they will have to provide in this case.' The WSJ story published on Thursday included Trump's denials that he ever wrote the letter, as well as his legal threat. A spokesperson for the Journal said, 'We have full confidence in the rigor and accuracy of our reporting, and will vigorously defend against any lawsuit.' The WSJ report centered on a birthday album that was given to Epstein in 2003, featured collected letters from some of his friends. Among the letters was one bearing Trump's name that 'contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker,' the Journal reported, adding that a 'pair of small arcs denotes the woman's breasts, and the future president's signature is a squiggly 'Donald' below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.' The letter text included an imaginary conversation between Trump and Epstein, according to the Journal, that concluded with the line, 'A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.' In the president's lawsuit, he claimed that the reporters 'falsely pass off as fact that President Trump, in 2003, wrote, drew, and signed this letter. And on the other hand, Defendants Safdar and Palazzolo failed to attach the letter, failed to attach the alleged drawing, failed to show proof that President Trump authored or signed any such letter, and failed to explain how this purported letter was obtained. The reason for those failures is because no authentic letter or drawing exists. Defendants concocted this story to malign President Trump's character and integrity and deceptively portray him in a false light.' The Journal reported that it was Ghislaine Maxwell who collected the letters from Trump and dozens of Epstein's other associates. The story described the letter as one 'bearing Trump's name.' Trump's lawsuit stated that the letter 'does not explain whether Defendants have obtained a copy of the letter, have seen it, have had it described to them, or any other circumstances that would otherwise lend credibility to the Article.' The lawsuit claimed that Murdoch and Thomson 'authorized the publication of the Article after President Trump put them both on notice that the letter was fake and nonexistent.' In a Truth Social post on Thursday, Trump wrote that he 'told Rupert Murdoch it was a Scam, that he shouldn't print this Fake Story.' To prevail in a defamation case, Trump would have to show not only that the article's statements were false, but that they were done with malice or reckless disregard for the truth. He claimed in the lawsuit that the defendants acted with 'actual malice, oppression and fraud in that they were aware at the time of the falsity of the publication and thus, made said publications in bad faith, out of disdain and ill-will directed towards Plaintiff without any regard for the truth.' Trump wrote on Truth Social earlier on Friday, 'I look forward to getting Rupert Murdoch to testify in my lawsuit against him and his 'pile of garbage' newspaper, the WSJ. That will be an interesting experience!!!'
