Dec. 7, 2025, 8:34 PM ESTBy Steve KopackPresident Donald Trump said Sunday that the proposed $72 billion merger between Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery “could be a problem” because of the amount of market share the resulting company would have.The value of the deal balloons to more than $82 billion when debt is accounted for.Netflix said Friday it would purchase Warner Bros. Discovery’s film studio, HBO and the streaming service HBO Max. If the deal is approved, Netflix would also get access to decades of films and shows in the Warner Bros. Pictures archive. The deal would not include cable networks owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, such as CNN and TNT.Trump expressed some skepticism Sunday about the prospects of approval.”Well, that’s got to go through a process, and we’ll see what happens,” he told reporters as he walked the Kennedy Center Awards’ red carpet in Washington.”They have a very big market share,” Trump said of Netflix. “When they have Warner Bros., that share goes up a lot.”Netflix, which has more than 300 million subscribers, is the No. 1 streaming service. Warner’s HBO Max is ranked slightly lower.Trump said he would consult “some economists” before the deal get his stamp of approval. “I’ll be involved in that decision, too,” he said. Historically, presidents have not often gotten involved in antitrust approvals when companies seek to merge. Neither Netflix nor Warner Bros. own any broadcast stations, so the deal would not require approval by Federal Communications Commission. However, it may still require approval by the Justice Department’s antitrust division. The deal is also likely to require approval from the European Commission and other governments around the world.during his two terms in office, Trump has dramatically reshaped the ways corporate America deals with the federal government. Earlier Sunday, Bloomberg News reported that Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos visited Trump at the White House in mid-November to discuss the potential deal. Sarandos’ visit echoed the strategy of other many other corporate executives, who have often tried to get on Trump’s good side before making major announcements, doing deals or seeking relief from government regulations or tariffs.Sarandos was left with the impression that Netflix would not face immediate opposition from the White House, the Bloomberg report said.On Sunday, Trump confirmed he had met with Sarandos.”I met with Ted. I think he’s fantastic,” he told reporters. “He was in the Oval Office last week,” Trump continued, adding that Sarandos made no promises at the meeting.Trump also compared Netflix’s success to that of the famed MGM film studio, which Amazon now owns. Amazon purchased the studio during the Biden administration, which did not challenge the takeover.The Trump administration in July approved the billion-dollar merger of Paramount Global with film studio Skydance. However, the approval only came after a contentious back-and-forth with the government and Trump himself. Paramount agreed to pay $16 million to Trump’s future presidential library over an interview CBS News conducted with former Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump alleged the interview featuring Harris, who ran against Trump for the presidency, was edited deceptively. Paramount also agreed with Trump’s FCC to end its diversity, equity and inclusion programs and create an ombudsman at CBS News. Many industry analysts expect Netflix to argue that it competes against Google’s YouTube for market share. YouTube is often ranked as the most-used streaming app by U.S. consumers.Netflix’s deal announcement also drew scrutiny Friday from Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., a member of the Banking subcommittee on consumer protection who established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, who called it an “anti-monopoly nightmare.” Steve KopackSteve Kopack is a senior reporter at NBC News covering business and the economy.

Nov. 8, 2025, 11:07 AM ESTBy Freddie ClaytonLONDON — It’s been a strange sort of prison break: no daring escapes, no Hollywood getaways — just inmates quietly released, by mistake, onto the streets of Britain.What once might have been an isolated blunder comes at an unwelcome time in a country strained by rising prices, stagnant wages and crumbling public services.One man, an Algerian sex offender, was arrested in London on Friday after being freed in error nine days earlier; another, a British national and convicted fraudster, accidentally released from the same prison shortly afterward and turned himself in on Thursday.Their cases followed the mistaken release of a convicted sex offender from a separate prison in October, which sparked a three-day manhunt before he was rearrested.At least four prisoners released in error over the past year remain at large, the BBC reports. More than 260 were wrongly released in England and Wales in the year to March, official data shows — more than double the figure the year before.Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary David Lammy said on X Friday that he was “appalled at the rate of releases in error,” and had ordered “tough new release checks, launched an investigation, and started overhauling archaic prison systems.”He told Parliament on Wednesday that the opposition Conservative Party, whose 14-year spell in government was ended by Prime Minister Keir Starmer last year, had “left our prisons on the brink of collapse entirely.”But the recent litany of errors coincides with the ruling Labour Party battling its own economic constraints and record-setting unpopularity.British prisons have been in a state of crisis for several years, with the prison population more than doubling in size since 1990, while staffing and infrastructure struggle to keep pace.The Algerian offender, Brahim Kaddour-Cherif, 24, was mistakenly let out on Oct. 29, though police say they weren’t informed until nearly a week later. He was rearrested for being unlawfully at large and on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker in connection with an earlier incident.As officers bundled him into a van, he offered his own verdict on the system that lost track of him: “Look at the justice of the U.K., they release people by mistake,” he said in a video aired by NBC News’ British partner Sky News.It’s a throwaway line, but it lands with an uncomfortable truth. In a country where little seems to function as it should — from the courts to the National Health Service to the trains — even the prisons can’t quite manage to keep the doors locked.Years of budget cuts are “catching up” with Britain’s public services, according to Glen O’Hara, a professor of modern and contemporary history at Oxford Brookes University.“The whole system of social care, for instance, is completely overwhelmed,” he told NBC News on Saturday, adding that Britain’s prisons had been swamped by a large number of short prison sentences.“It’s just overwhelming the system that can’t cope economically with all these numbers,” he said.Last summer, the men’s prison system was nearly filled to capacity with only a hundred or so empty places, a crisis that triggered the government’s emergency release scheme, allowing some inmates to leave after serving 40% of their sentence instead of the usual 50%. Introduced to ease overcrowding, the policy has since seen nearly 40,000 prisoners released early, Ministry of Justice figures show.Staffing issues have also plagued the services. In the year to June, nearly 13% of staff left British prisons, according to data from the Prison and Probation Service.Prison officers said a clerical error meant there was no warrant from the court to hold Kaddour-Cherif, and he was let go. William Smith, the convicted fraudster, was released as a result of a clerical error at the court level, the BBC reports.Wandsworth prison, where Smith and Kaddour-Cherif were released, was built in 1851 to house fewer than 1,000 prisoners. An August 2024 report by the prison’s independent monitoring board found inmate numbers had grown to 1,513.“Wings were chaotic and staff across most units were unable to confirm where all prisoners were during the working day,” the report said.The Victorian-era prison, one of many still in use dating back to the 1800s, has previously been the scene of high-profile escapes. Wandsworth made headlines in 2023 when former British soldier Daniel Khalife escaped by clinging to the underside of a lorry while awaiting trial for espionage and terrorism offenses.A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said that the recent cases “further expose the scale of the crisis in our prisons we inherited,” adding: “This will not be fixed overnight, but we are using every possible lever to bear down on these errors.”For all the headlines and investigations, the mistakes continue to pile up in a country struggling to hold itself together, one unlocked gate at a time.Freddie ClaytonFreddie Clayton is a freelance journalist based in London.

Dec. 6, 2025, 9:05 AM ESTBy Rohan NadkarniAt the start of the college football season, no Division I program had more losses in its history than Indiana’s 715 defeats.But 15 weeks later, as we enter conference championship Saturday, that number remains unchanged as the 12-0 Hoosiers — ranked No. 2 in the country — prepare to face No. 1 Ohio State in Saturday’s Big Ten title game.Indiana, the school and state synonymous with basketball, is now a pigskin powerhouse on the precipice of its second straight College Football Playoff.The school’s fans are as shocked as everyone else.“Hell no,” Mark Cuban, the billionaire multihyphenate and 1981 graduate of Indiana’s business school, told NBC News via email if he ever thought the Hoosiers would be on the same level as a blue blood like Ohio State. “I thought I would be dunking with my feet before that would happen.”Galen Clavio, a 2001 IU grad who is currently an associate dean at the school, took it a step further: “It feels like someone beamed somebody else’s team down to planet Earth and now they’re wearing Indiana uniforms.”Clavio, who also hosts “CrimsonCast,” a podcast about Hoosier sports, added: “I know that sounds hyperbolic, but it really is hard to get your head wrapped around as someone like me who’s been following that program for so long.”Indiana has had spurts of competence before, though the school has not won a bowl game since 1991. In 2020, the Hoosiers finished the season ranked 12th in the Associated Press poll, their first top-25 finish since 1988.Cuban was in school during one of the program’s best moments, a win in the Holiday Bowl after the 1979 season under then-head coach Lee Corso. Cuban was at a packed Motley’s Pub when the Hoosiers upset an undefeated BYU team, a game that featured a memorable 62-yard punt return by Tim Wilbur.But over the last half-century, the football program has paled in comparison to its basketball counterpart, which has made five Final Fours and won three national championships since 1976. The basketball success came under the direction of a legendary though ultimately controversial figure in Bobby Knight.The football team now has its own mythmaking figure in charge (and without any off-field baggage): Curt Cignetti, who in two seasons since joining the school from James Madison has led Indiana to a 23-2 record and all but clinched back-to-back CFP appearances.At Cignetti’s first press conference as head coach, he was asked how he could turn around one of college football’s dormant programs and responded with a prophetic phrase.“I win,” Cignetti said. “Google me.”And that’s what Cignetti did, leading the school to an 11-2 record and to 10th in the final rankings in his first year at the helm, IU’s best finish in the final poll since 1967. The head coach’s confidence — and ability to back it up — has energized the fan base.“He is a Pittsburgh guy,” Cuban said. “He has the yinzer accent, the hard-work pedigree, and the gumption to say what he will do and back it up.”Said Clavio: “Cignetti, his staff and the players that they bring in, there’s a professionalism and a focus and a discipline about them that looks like what you see at top football programs. What’s exciting about it for me and for a lot of other IU fans is that it feels sustainable because it feels like an actual program now. It’s not dependent on one good player or one good recruiting class.”The emergence of the football team as a legitimate contender has created a massive spike in fan interest.Earlier this year, Cuban made his first donation to the school’s athletic department. He said he talks to athletic director Scott Dolson “all the time” and will help the school any way he can.Clavio, who was also an IU sports fan growing up, said in his 30 years attending football games, he’s never seen the student section full before the start of every game as he has this season.Alex Bozich is the co-founder and editor of “Inside the Hall,” a website launched in 2007 to cover all things Hoosier basketball. Beginning this season, for the first time, Bozich had his staff start covering football full time as well.“Cignetti, the way he presented himself early in the media, he was kind of a driving force for the excitement,” Bozich said. “We’ve noticed, in terms of the comments that we’re getting on stories, there’s a lot of people engaged and just excited in general about following the team.”The excitement spreads from Bloomington to as far as California.Scott Rappaport is a 2004 IU grad who is currently the president of the school’s alumni association in Los Angeles. He used to ask the school’s designated bar, State Social House (which is mainly a Texas Longhorns hangout), for a couple tables for football watch-alongs, trying to entice alums to attend with mimosa breakfasts.Last year, Rappaport noticed excitement grow as the season went along, with crowds increasing from 20 people to 50 to, finally, by the time Indiana and Ohio State faced off in an undefeated matchup last November, close to 150. Fans were lined up outside State Social House well before the 9 a.m. local start time.“We’re like, OK, this is definitely different,” Rappaport said. “Football has definitely been bigger the last two years than basketball.”Rappaport said Cignetti hasn’t only changed the school’s fortunes, but he’s also changed the fans’ expectations.“We have all these points of getting out of the old IU fan mindset, where we’re thinking, ‘We’re gonna blow it,’ to thinking, ‘Cig is our coach, this is different, we expect to win pretty much every game.’”While Saturday’s game may not be the highest-stakes one of Cignetti’s brief tenure — that would be the first-round defeat to Notre Dame in last year’s playoff — it is still incredibly important to the school.The Hoosiers have not beaten the Buckeyes since 1988. Indiana has not won a Big Ten championship since 1967. And the school has never been ranked No. 1 in football in its entire history, which would happen with a victory.The Hoosiers enter after a perfect regular season that included wins against No. 9 Illinois and on the road against No. 3 Oregon. Indiana was led by quarterback (and Heisman Trophy candidate) Fernando Mendoza, a transfer from Cal who threw for 2,758 yards and 32 touchdowns, while running for six more scores.“People couldn’t be more excited for the opportunity to watch IU in the Big Ten championship, especially right up the road in Indianapolis,” Bozich said. “It’s going to be a special, special moment for a lot of IU fans who have waited a long time to see something like this.”When asked what it would mean for the Hoosiers to play in the national championship game, Clavio said it’s not something he could even fully comprehend.“That’s like asking me how it would feel if someone offered me to land on the moon tomorrow,” he said. “To be able to see them on that prominent of a stage would be the most fulfilling thing I could ever experience as a sports fan.”Rohan NadkarniRohan Nadkarni is a sports reporter for NBC News.
