A note sent to media outlets in February connected to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC “Today” show anchor Savannah Guthrie, said she had died, multiple law enforcement sources briefed on the investigation told CNN. It followed a first note that demanded a ransom of millions of dollars. Investigators believed they are legitimate communications from the kidnappers. The second note said Nancy Guthrie was dead — and they did not mean to kill her, but she died shortly after the kidnapping, according to the law enforcement sources. The family responded with an emotional video on February 7 when Savannah Guthrie said, “We received your message, and we understand.”

A Utah judge in the case against the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk has postponed a decision on whether to find prosecutors in violation of a pretrial publicity order, and, if so, whether to take the death penalty off the table as the remedy. Instead of deciding on the violation issue during a ruling hearing Monday in the case against Tyler Robinson, district court Judge Tony Graf set a Friday morning hearing to address it. Also at Monday’s hearing, Graf ruled prosecutors will be allowed to present hearsay evidence during Robinson’s preliminary hearing, scheduled to begin next month.

Dana Santas, known as the “Mobility Maker,” is a certified strength and conditioning specialist and mind-body coach in professional sports, and is the author of the book “Practical Solutions for Back Pain Relief.” If you spend the bulk of your day seated — at a desk, in a car or on a couch — your body does what bodies do: It adapts. Hips stiffen, shoulders drift forward, breathing becomes shallow and your nervous system responds by triggering your stress response, effectively locking you into a cycle of chronic tension. The common assumption is that you need a long workout or a dedicated stretching session to counteract those effects. But research on breaking up prolonged sitting suggests something more encouraging: Short movement interruptions consisting of just a few minutes every 30 minutes can have a significant positive impact.

The catchphrase made famous by Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign springs to mind when considering the instability that seems to have become a feature of Britain’s political life. The United Kingdom is on course for its sixth prime minister in some seven years, as one political leader after another proves no match for a stubbornly weak economy, which has weighed on incomes and living standards, wearing down the electorate. Outgoing Prime Minister and Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, who is stepping down after just two years in the role, is in good company. His four predecessors — Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss, Boris Johnson and Theresa May — faced many of the same thorny challenges, and abided similarly brief terms.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was felled by a curse haunting most Western leaders — a failure to deliver change to voters who’ve lost trust in the capacity of modern politics to make their lives better and more affordable. Starmer, who announced his resignation Monday only two years after winning a parliamentary landslide, was unable to push through his program in an era of political chaos, stigmatized institutions and wrenching economic disruption. From the UK to Germany to France to the United States, leaders tap voter anger to get elected and promise to restore prosperity. But once in power, they often find it impossible to fulfill their promises, after failing to free-up entrenched political systems, control their parties, counter global economic forces or to overcome the cacophony of politics in the age of social media.
