UK prosecutors have filed requests with US authorities for the extradition of Andrew Tate, 39, and Tristan Tate, 38, who face serious charges in Britain including rape, sex trafficking, assault, and child pornography. Both men deny the allegations; their lawyer claims UK authorities lack necessary documentation to support the requests under the US-UK treaty. The Tates have been held since July following their arrest on additional charges and are now set to remain in custody while awaiting a final decision from US courts.

answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
