Justice Served: Unveiling the Names of Brianna Ghey’s Teenage Killers

The perpetrators responsible for the murder of trans schoolgirl Brianna Ghey, identified as Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe, both 16, have been publicly named as they receive life sentences for their heinous crime. Mrs Justice Yip revealed their identities after lifting the anonymity order, given the severity of their actions. Throughout the trial, the duo had been referred to as Girl X and Boy Y, with their disturbing shared interest in violence, torture, and serial killers highlighted during court proceedings. Their joint planning of “dark fantasies” was a chilling aspect discussed by the jury. At the time of Brianna's tragic murder on February 11 last year, Jenkinson and Ratcliffe, both 15 then, had compiled a “kill list” that included four other teenagers. During the sentencing at Manchester Crown Court, Brianna's father, Peter Spooner, expressed his devastation, describing Jenkinson and Ratcliffe as “pure evil.” In his victim impact statement, he remarked, “Now...

Apple's iPhone And Watch Product Design Chief To Depart In February

 Apple's iPhone And Watch Product Design Chief To Depart In February

People familiar with Apple's operations say the Tang Tan departure is a blow, and that he made critical decisions about Apple's most important products.

Apple's iPhone And Watch Product Design Chief To Depart In February

The executive in charge of product design for the iPhone and other Apple devices is leaving the company.

The Apple Inc. executive in charge of product design for the iPhone and smartwatch is stepping down, bringing a shake-up to the company's most critical product lines.

Tang Tan, whose title is vice president of product design, is leaving in February, according to people with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified because the move isn't public. Tan reports to John Ternus, senior vice president of hardware engineering, and the division is reshuffling duties to handle the transition. 

Several deputies to Ternus and Tan are getting expanded roles as part of the changes. That includes Richard Dinh, Tan's top lieutenant and head of iPhone product design. Dinh is being elevated to report directly to Ternus. Kate Bergeron, a hardware engineering executive responsible for Mac teams, is taking over the design of the Apple Watch.

Apple didn't respond to a request for comment on the changes.

The iPhone and Apple Watch are central to Apple's operations, accounting for well over half of the tech giant's $383.3 billion in revenue last year. Tan also was responsible for the design of accessories and oversaw the company's acoustics team, which handles much of the development of the AirPods. Those two groups are being relocated under Matthew Costello, who is in charge of Beats and the HomePod smart speaker.

People familiar with Apple's operations say the Tan departure is a blow, and that he made critical decisions about Apple's most important products. Beyond the iPhone, his work on the Watch and AirPods helped turn those devices into major growth drivers for the Cupertino, California-based company.

Under Apple's organizational structure, the product design team works closely with its industrial design and operations groups. Tan's team has tight control over product features, including the look of devices and how they're engineered.

John Ternus has reorganized the hardware engineering group, which he has overseen since 2021.

Tan is the second senior executive to announce departure plans recently. Bloomberg News reported earlier this week that Steve Hotelling - a vice president in charge of hardware technologies like Touch ID, Face ID and displays - is retiring. Hotelling reported to Johny Srouji, senior vice president of hardware technologies.

It's also at least the third exit in a year from Ternus' organization. Yannick Bertolus, who was once in charge of hardware product quality and later ran hardware product management, recently retired. His predecessor in the latter role, Laura Legros, left at the end of last year. 

Ternus, who took charge of hardware engineering in 2021, recently shuffled other parts of the organization. He elevated Dan West - formerly the No. 2 executive for hardware quality - to a new non-product role reporting to him. Other executives in charge of Mac product design and iPhone hardware systems were also promoted, suggesting that Apple could be preparing for more leadership changes in the coming year.

Faith History Is Made As Pope, Catholic Church And The Church Of England Will Bless Lgbtq+ Couples

Within hours of each other both The Church of England and Pope Francis for the Roman Catholic church formally approved allowing priests to bless same-sex couples. This is a radical change to both churches' policies. Both churches insisted in new documents that people seeking God's love and mercy shouldn't be subject to quote “an exhaustive moral analysis to receive it.” The Church of England was not a complete surprise. For much of 2023 the church had hinted that they wanted to recognize gay priests and bless LGBTQ+ couples. The Pope's formal announcement this week was more surprising. It comes at the end of 2023 and a year of dramatic signals from the Pontiff including censure of two anti-LGBTQ cardinals and growing verbal embracement of the Queer community. Both declarations stopped well short of any recognition of marriage. Additionally the Pope's declaration stressed that blessings must be non-liturgical in nature and should not be conferred at the same time a...

Let’s Look At The Top LGBTQ+ Stories Of 2023

Queer News Tonight has always shed light on the important happenings in the life of the LGBTQ+ community across the world. This year we have brought you more than 2000 television stories. Our struggles are common and our happiness is connected. Hence, we thought of revisiting the best moments of this year, while we are about to say goodbye to 2023. The most underrated gem of the year has to be Veronica Esposito's foray into AI-faked yearbook photos, allowing her to imagine the girlhood she'd always longed for. The most terrifying news of the year has to be the U.S.-based ‘hate group' Alliance Defending Freedom using a shadowy network of lawyers and doctors to infiltrate Canada. The best video on TikTok this year was of Queer Eye fame Jonathan Van Ness having a frank conversation with Dax Shepard about dispelling anti-trans misinformation, and they called out Shepard for participating in it. The best use of the rainbow metaphor has to be Jeremy Dutcher describing his unders...

Guess Which Country Supports Marriage Equality The Most

New Pew Research Center analysis shows that Western European countries are most heavily in favor of marriage equality. Pew has conducted surveys in 32 countries in the past two years. Support was highest in Sweden, where 92 percent of respondents favored equal marriage rights for same-sex couples. Other countries in Western Europe were not far behind, with 89 percent support in the Netherlands, 87 percent in Spain, 82 percent in France, and 80 percent in Germany. Each of those countries has legalized same-sex marriage . In Italy, where legalization is being debated but hasn't yet happened, 73 percent of respondents endorsed marriage equality. In the United Kingdom, support stood at 74 percent, and all parts of the U.K. have enacted marriage equality. The situation was much different in the Eastern European countries Pew has surveyed, with just 41 percent support in Poland and 31 percent in Hungary. In North America, 79 percent of Canadians and 63 percent of both U.S. residents and ...
