‘Rust’ prosecutors have downgraded Alec Baldwin’s manslaughter charges

This will reduce the prison time the actor could face in the death of the movie’s cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins.

Baldwin was filming a scene and holding the gun that discharged on the ‘Rust’ movie set, killing Hutchins and wounding its director.

His lawyers argued that the district attorney had incorrectly charged the actor under a version of a New Mexico firearm law that was passed months after the shooting occurred.

Under the new laws, Baldwin would have received a minimum prison sentence of five years.

Now, he faces a maximum of 18 months in prison.

Baldwin has denied responsibility for the shooting, saying he was handed a gun that did not contain live rounds.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
