A veteran TV news executive says CNN anchor Chris Cuomo sexually harassed her by squeezing her buttocks at a party in 2005.

Shelley Ross said in an opinion piece in The New York Times on Friday that Chris Cuomo, who had formerly reported to her at ABC News, greeted her with a bear hug “while lowering one hand to firmly grab and squeeze the cheek of my buttock” while she was at a party with her husband.

Ross said Cuomo told her, “I can do this now that you’re no longer my boss,” and she responded, “No you can’t,” pushing

A live televised interview with United States Vice President Kamala Harris was delayed on Friday after two hosts of the The View learned they tested positive for COVID-19 moments before they were to interview her.

Co-host Sunny Hostin and guest host Ana Navarro both learned they tested positive for breakthrough cases ahead of the interview. Both Navarro and Hostin were at the table for the start of the show, but then were pulled from the set.

Harris, who had planned to join the table, instead was interviewed remotely from a different room in the ABC studio in New York. She

Filmmaker Kaif Jama was thrilled to see people in the seats at Somalia’s National Theatre in Mogadishu on Wednesday to watch two films, the first films screened for the public in the country for 30 years.

Jama, 24, wrote and starred in both films, which were directed by Ibrahim CM. The screening also represented a kind of homecoming for her — she left Somalia as a child, and moved around before settling in Cairo.

The filing in Los Angeles Superior Court from Spears’s lawyer Mathew Rosengart says she “fully consents” to “expeditiously” ending the conservatorship, which her father James Spears, who has controlled it for most of its 13 years, asked for in a Sept. 7 petition.

The fall of Afghanistan’s capital over a month ago to Taliban insurgents not only robbed Saleem Yousofzada of sleep, but of hope.

The Kabul-based filmmaker has, like numerous other documentarians, been living in fear of reprisal from militants for long depicting the experiences and highlighting the voices of Afghans in the country, now under new Taliban rule. 

“They just lost totally their hopes. They don’t have hopes for the future,” said Yousofzada in a video interview in reference to fellow Kabul-based filmmakers. “The Taliban says they will forgive everything they have done…But how can you just trust them?”
