O.J. Simpson's estate agrees to pay nearly $58M to Ron Goldman's father

OJ SimpsonO.J. Simpson's estate agreed to pay nearly $58 million to Ron Goldman’s father, decades after the former NFL star was acquitted of murdering Goldman and Simpson's ex-wife.

Fred Goldman filed a creditor claim in July 2024, originally seeking just over $117 million, after a civil jury found Simpson liable for the June 1994 deaths of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson and ordered him to pay millions of dollars in damages.

The money was never fully paid before he died last year from cancer.

Simpson was criminally charged with murder in 1994 but was acquitted in a shocking televised trial.

Brown Simpson and Goldman, who were friends, were found stabbed and slashed dozens of times outside her Los Angeles home. Goldman had been returning sunglasses that Brown Simpson’s mother had left at a restaurant where he worked when he was killed, authorities said.

Alysa Liu wins Skate America gold, capping off big day for US figure skaters

Alysa Liu It was as if Alysa Liu couldn’t believe it. 

As her free skate ended and the crowd rose to their feet, the 20-year-old figure skater threw her hands on her head. She needed a big day on Sunday, Nov. 16 to win first place at 2025 Skate America, and she felt like she didn't perform as well as she could've.

"In my opinion, I did not skate that good," Liu said. "That's why I was just like 'ah, silly mistake.'"

Despite how she felt her program went, the day ended with the hardware around her neck matching the color of her dress: gold. 

Liu delivered a powerful free skate to win Skate America for the first time in her career, and continue her stellar run as she heads toward returning to the Winter Olympics.

Alice Wong, ‘luminary’ writer and disability rights activist, dies aged 51

ALice Wong dies at 51Alice Wong, a writer and disability rights activist who was born with muscular dystrophy and whose independence and writing inspired others, has died. She was 51.

Wong died Friday at a hospital in San Francisco due to an infection, said Sandy Ho, a close friend who has been in touch with Wong’s family.

Ho called her friend a “luminary of the disability justice movement” who wanted to see a world where people with disabilities, especially those of marginalized demographics who were people of color, LGBTQ+ people and immigrants, could live freely and have full autonomy over their lives and decisions.

The daughter of Hong Kong immigrants, Wong writes about her own story – about growing up with a neuromuscular disease, coming into herself and her activism – and about how US policies and systems fail disabled people, queer people, immigrants and people of color. She used a powered wheelchair and an assistive breathing device and described herself as a “disabled cyborg”.

In her 2022 memoir, Year of the Tiger, Wong tells of the discrimination and bullying she faced growing up in Indiana, which sparked her unwavering commitment to dismantling systemic ableism.

Wong founded the Disability Visibility Project in 2014, initially as an oral history project designed to collect the stories of disabled people. She has shared these histories in two books, Disability Visibility and Disability Intimacy.

Coach featured in Netflix’s Last Chance U dies after Oakland campus shooting

John Beam dies in shootingA US football coach who starred in the Netflix documentary Last Chance U, about struggling college teams, has died after being shot on campus, authorities in California said.

John Beam, director of athletics at Oakland’s Laney College, was hurt in a Thursday lunchtime incident at the school’s field house, its downtown sports training complex. He later died, the Oakland police department said on Friday.

A lockdown of the entire Laney campus was lifted by Friday morning, and the Oakland police department announced it had made an arrest.

“This was a very targeted incident,” said the acting Oakland police chief, James Beere, who added that the suspect and Beam knew each other, but were not close.

The suspect went on campus for a “specific reason”, Beere told reporters, but did not elaborate on what that was. Beam was “open to helping everybody in our community”, he said.

Sources told ABC News that Beam was shot in the head, and that the suspect was arrested in possession of a firearm.

Beam, began his career at Laney College in 2004 as a running backs coach and became head coach in 2012, winning two league titles. He had served as the college’s athletics director since 2006, according to the school’s website. Beam retired from coaching in 2024 but stayed on at the school to shape its athletic programs.

Whatever it takes’: Starbucks workers launch US strike and call for boycott

Starbucks on strikeMore than a thousand Starbucks workers have commenced a strike in more than 40 cities across the US on Thursday amid stagnant negotiations with the world’s largest coffee chain over a first union contract.

On the company’s annual “red cup day”, hailing the start of the lucrative holiday season, Starbucks Workers United is launching an unfair labor practice (ULP) strike, with rallies planned in locations including New York City; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Chicago, Illinois; Columbus, Ohio; and Anaheim, California.

About 65 stores are initially affected. Organizers plan to expand the strike to more locations should executives hold firm – and want customers to steer clear of the chain as part of a campaign dubbed “no contract, no coffee”.

Starbucks said it was “disappointed” that Workers United had voted to strike, rather than continue bargaining, but insisted the “vast majority” of stores would be unaffected by the action. The company stands accused of “stonewalling” at the table by union offiorecials.

People held in ‘decrepit’ California ICE facility sue over ‘inhumane’ conditions

Detainees sue gov't over decrepit conditionsSeven people detained at California’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center have sued the US government, alleging they have been denied essential medications, frequently go hungry and are housed in a “decrepit” facility.

The federal class-action complaint filed against ICE on Wednesday challenges the “inhumane conditions” at the California City detention center, which opened in late August inside a shuttered state prison. The suit alleges “life-threatening” medical neglect, with the plaintiffs saying they have been denied cancer treatment, basic disability accommodations and regular insulin for diabetes.

The facility is run by CoreCivic, a private prison corporation, which is not a named defendant.

Residents have raised alarms about the facility for two months, with some describing it as a “torture chamber” and “hell on earth” in interviews.

California City is located in the remote Mojave desert, 100 miles (160km) north-east of Los Angeles. It can hold more than 2,500 people, increasing ICE’s California detention capacity by 36%. It currently detains more than 800 people, lawyers say.
