Here's All You Need To Know About Kash Patel, Trump's Pick To Lead FBI
Kash Patel has called for radical changes at the FBI and was a
fierce and vocal critic of the bureau's work as it investigated ties
between Russia and Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
Now the steadfast Trump ally has been tapped to lead the federal law enforcement agency he's pushed to overhaul.
A look Patel, Trump's pick to replace Christopher Wray atop the FBI. Side-by-side with Trump Patel has for years been a loyal ally to Trump, finding common cause over their shared skepticism of government surveillance and the “deep state” — a pejorative catchall used by Trump to refer to government bureaucracy.
He was part of a small group of supporters during Trump's recent criminal trial in New York who accompanied him to the courthouse, where he told reporters that Trump was the victim of an “unconstitutional circus.”

That close bond would break from the modern-day precedent of FBI directors looking to keep presidents at arm's length. Former FBI Director James Comey, who was fired by Trump in May 2017, memorably recoiled when Trump asked him during a private dinner to pledge his loyalty to him.

Here's Why US Varsities Urge Foreign Students To Return Before Trump Swearing-In. Here's Why And Wray, who had no personal connection to Trump when he was picked to replace Comey, broke with Trump on different hot-button issues and served as FBI director during investigations into Trump that ultimately led to his indictment.
He's called for dramatically reducing its footprint and limiting its authority, as well as going after government officials who disclose information to reporters. In an interview earlier this year on 'The Shawn Ryan Show,' Patel vowed to sever the FBI's intelligence-gathering activities from the rest of its mission and said he would “shut down” the bureau's headquarters building on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., and “reopen it the next day as a museum of the deep state.'”

UK MPs are holding a passionate debate in Parliament on a bill to legalise assisted dying
For the first time in almost a decade, MPs will vote on Friday on giving terminally ill adults in England and Wales the right to have an assisted death. While it’s something that remains illegal in most countries, more than 300 million people now live in countries which have legalised assisted dying.
Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Spain and Austria have all introduced assisted dying laws since 2015 – when UK MPs last voted on the issue – some allowing assisted death for those who are not terminally ill.
The proposed bill in England and Wales comes with safeguards supporters say will make it the strictest set of rules in the world, with patients needing the approval of a High Court judge. Critics on the other hand say changing the law would be a dangerous step that would place the vulnerable at risk. They argue the focus should be on improving patchy access to palliative care.
Sweden asks China to co-operate over severed cables
Sweden has formally asked China to co-operate with an investigation into damage to two cables in the Baltic Sea after a Chinese ship was linked to the incidents.
The cables - one linking Sweden to Lithuania and the other between Finland and Germany - were damaged in Swedish territorial waters in the Baltic Sea on 17 and 18 November.
A Chinese ship, the Yi Peng Three, is believed to have been in the area at the time and has since been anchored in international waters off Denmark.
Beijing has denied any involvement in sabotage and on Friday said it was willing to work with Sweden and other countries to find out what happened.
The Yi Peng Three left the Russian port of Ust-Luga, west of St Petersburg, on 15 November.
Early on 17 November, the Arelion cable between the Swedish island of Gotland and Lithuania was damaged.
