The next presidential election, in which Imamoglu was widely expected to run, is officially scheduled for 2028.

In response to the mayor’s arrest, tens of thousands of people took to the streets, with violent clashes ensuing between demonstrators and police. The authorities also imposed a temporary ban on public gatherings and restricted access to social media. On Friday, Erdogan weighed in on the protests, stating that “Türkiye will not surrender to street terrorism,” while urging Ozgur Ozel, the head of the CHP, “to act responsibly and not to provoke youngsters.” “The CHP is about to lose its status as a legitimate party due to mounting corruption, problematic rhetoric and links to marginal groups,” Erdogan warned.

After a January leak pointed to the return of a Michael Jordan sneaker famous for gracing both the NBA court and the big screen, new details are clarifying exactly which colorway is set to rerelease. Instead of the Air Jordan 13 Retro “He Got Game” that was originally rumored, newly surfaced information claims the 2026 retro will actually be a different style of Jordan’s thirteenth signature sneaker. Instead of the predominantly white-and-black “He Got Game” colorway, the Air Jordan 13 Retro “True Red” is expected to be the look that hits retail in spring ’26. Sometimes referred to as ...more“Team Red,” “Cherry” or “Chicago,” the white-and-red Air Jordan 13 often shares a matching colorway description with the “He Got Game” colorway, which could explain the confusion regarding the upcoming release. The upcoming ’26 pair features a full colorway of “White/Black/True Red.” Air Jordan 13 Retro ‘True Red’ 2017 (pair).Nike One of five original Air Jordan 13 mid-top colorways, the Chicago-themed “True Red” style was worn by Jordan during the 1997-98 NBA regular season. The iconic look has been rereleased in 2010 and 2017 along with a low-top variation in 2005 and a Golf version in 2017. The Tinker Hatfield-designed Air Jordan 13 uses a mostly leather upper with a red suede base and midsole. It features a dimpled texture across its white leather panels and a heel hologram depicting Jordan’s original Jumpman photograph. While the switch between the “He Got Game” pair and this “True Red” colorway may disappoint some Air Jordan fans, the silver lining is that both pairs are iconic and were worn by Jordan during the peak of his career. This latest update comes courtesy of @zsneakerheadz and Sneaker Files, who report that the “True Red” Air Jordan 13 Retro will be released in full family sizing including grade school, preschool and toddler-sized pairs. The SKU for the men’s pair is 414571-102. The images pictured here are of the ’17 iteration, but readers can expect the upcoming release to look similar.

The former Ukrainian territories want to stay with Russia, Steve Witkoff has said The status of the former Ukrainian territories that have joined Russia following referendums is key to resolving the conflict between Moscow and Kiev, Steve Witkoff, US President Donald Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, told American journalist Tucker Carlson in an interview released on Friday. Witkoff, who has also been actively involved in the US efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict, described the issue as “an elephant in the room” t...morehat “no one wants to talk about.” “They’re Russian-speaking. There have been referendums where the overwhelming majority of the people have indicated that they want to be under [the] Russian rule,” Witkoff told Carlson during the hour-and-a-half-long interview, adding that Moscow also exercises effective control over the territories. Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions, as well as the two Donbass republics, officially joined Russia in autumn 2022 following a series of referendums. Read more Elections in Ukraine, Kiev’s NATO ambitions: Key takeaways from Trump envoy’s interview Kiev has never recognized the votes and continues to claim sovereignty over the territories, as well as over Crimea, which joined Russia back in 2014. The Ukrainian military still controls parts of Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, including the regional capitals of the latter two. According to Witkoff, the issue now is whether the world will acknowledge these territories as Russian and whether Kiev will agree to drop its claims to them. “There are constitutional issues within Ukraine as to what they can concede to with regard to giving up territory,” the envoy said, adding that it could also be particularly difficult for Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky as it could jeopardize his political career. “Can Zelensky survive politically if he acknowledges this? This is the central issue in the conflict,” Witkoff said. The envoy still maintained that the US had “very, very positive conversation” on the issue with both sides. The interview with Witkoff came out shortly after he held face-to-face talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin as part of diplomatic efforts aimed at mediating an end to the conflict. After the talks, he suggested that a complete ceasefire between Kiev and Moscow could be reached within “a couple of weeks.”...
