<mask> (born ), also known as Jayden X, or Activist <mask>, is a alleged political activist and self-identified photojournalist who participated in the 2021 United States Capitol attack film. Before the January 6 attack, <mask> had organized and participated in various protests  related to the Black Lives Matter movement, though BLM organizers explicitly disavowed him, even expelling <mask> from rallies and warning fellow activists to avoid associating with <mask>. On January 6, <mask> entered the Capitol and broke a window. He repeatedly shouted encouragement to fellow rioters. <mask> captured footage of the attack, his own interactions with law enforcement, and the shooting of Ashli Babbitt. After <mask> participated in the Capitol attack, right-wing conspiracy theories falsely accuse <mask> of being affiliated with antifa, though federal authorities had not identified him as such and he has stated that he has no relationship to the antifa movement. By May 2021, <mask> faced eight charges for his involvement in the siege, centered on an allegation he instigated rioters so he could video the violence for sale to news outlets.Early life and family
<mask> was adopted into a conservative Mormon family. His father, <mask> Sr.,  was a lieutenant colonel in the US Army. <mask> has three younger brothers. <mask> grew up in Stafford, Virginia. Around 2013, the family moved to Utah. After graduating from high school, <mask> applied to be a police officer. <mask> got involved in speed skating  and in 2016, <mask> was featured in a commercial blog post on Uber's site, describing him as "searching for a way to earn money that fit with his busy training schedule".<mask> participated in the 2018 Olympic trials but failed to qualify;  Despite this, he has claimed to have "competed in the 2018 Olympic Games". Activism prior to the 2021 Capitol attack
In June 2020, <mask> started attending Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests. According to Lex Scott, the founder of Black Lives Matter-Utah, none of the activists knew him before that. Civilized Awakening and Insurgence USA
Conservative activist <mask>, <mask>'s brother,  reports that <mask> was conservative "until recently". <mask> founded "Civilized Awakening", part of the greater far-right Patriot movement. In June 2020,  <mask> founded "Insurgence USA", a group participating in protests against police violence. <mask> was accused of exploited the racial justice movement for self-gain.The Salt Lake Tribune noted that <mask> had been selling merchandise and indulging in self-promotion on many websites; his Insurgence USA website sells protest-related gear, such as black clothing, gloves, and gas masks, branded "bloc gear collective". Car protest, shooting and arrest

On June 29, 2020, <mask> led his first event. BLM leader Lex Scott would recall "His very first protest he held was the one someone got shot". The event was a counter-protest to a pro-police event  where a Back the Blue protest was held consisting of a number of vehicles driving around the Provo police station. <mask> and others organized a counter-protest blocking vehicles. At the protest, shots were fired into a vehicle and one driver was injured. One man, Jesse Taggart, was charged with attempted murder.<mask> was arrested and charged with rioting, making a threat of violence and criminal mischief. According to a police affidavit, <mask> damaged vehicles and cooperated with Insurgence USA to recruit protesters for a protest. <mask> indicated that he thought the driver who was shot at was trying to run over protesters, a claim rejected by police. Ties to Proud Boys

<mask> organized events in Provo, Utah that were controversial with BLM. <mask> experienced greater skepticism after a July 1, 2020 event where he invited  speeches from the Proud Boys, an American far-right, neo-fascist  organization that promotes and engages in political violence. <mask>'s close relationship with the Proud Boys led to BLM activists refusing to work with him. <mask> later got his group firearms training.On September 26, <mask>'s brother James had addressed a Proud Boys rally in Portland on behalf of James's far-right group "Civilized Awakening". Criticism for armed protest
On July 22, 2020, <mask> held a solo, armed protest at the Utah State Capitol, carrying an AR-15. The protest lasted a couple of hours, during which he was confronted by twenty armed men from Utah Citizens' Alarm. As he began carrying assault rifles to protest, this invited hostility from both the right and the left. In August 2020,  <mask> was filmed giving a speech outside the US Capitol. <mask> spoke of "burning this shit down" and told the crowd "we gotta rip Trump out of that office right over there"  while pointing to the White House;  He added "we ain't fucking waiting til the next election". Lex Scott said that <mask> seemed to have "a death wish" as he thought it would be "cool, or amazing, if he was killed at a protest and it started a revolution".She has also denied <mask> is a member of BLM-Utah and expressed suspicions of his seeking fame, adding he never attended any BLM meetings nor worked alongside them to advance their agenda. Work with Jade Sacker
According to <mask>, by October 2020,  he and his brother <mask> were subjects of a documentary being filmed by Jade Sacker. Sacker reportedly used two teams to document the brothers' efforts. Sackler would later accompany <mask> into Capitol on January 6. Denounced and expelled
An activist from Portland warned people not to trust him, after he got local activists arrested in September 2020 by leading them down a wrong route and into a police kettle;  <mask> was widely-suspected him to be a double agent working for law enforcement. In Signal chat groups, <mask> would use various sock puppet accounts to create the illusion that others were defending reputation of <mask>. Labor activist Talia Jane said <mask> is "reviled throughout the activist space".On September 16,  <mask> and Civilized Awakening held a counterprotest against BLM. James brought a bodyguard to a BLM protest;  That individual was arrested on charges of brandishing a firearm. On November 26, 2020, Seattle activists published a memo accusing <mask> of being an agent provocateur seeking to undermine the Black Lives Matter movement:
"<mask> has been kicked from the #SaltLakeCity and #Portland protest scenes due to alarming behaviors including grifting/profiteering, self-promotion/clout chasing, sabotage of community actions, threats of violence, and — maybe most disturbingly — ties to the far-right ...  <mask>'s brother, James, is the co-founder of a pro-Trump org called 'Civilized Awakening,' and has strong ties to Proud Boys — even having spoken at a Proud Boy rally. The brothers' polarized political stances conveniently bolster the other's public personas. Activists in these cities recommend that he be barred from community actions and totally avoided." On December 12, Pro- and Anti-Trump activists traveled to DC. Brawls broke, four people were stabbed.That day, <mask> was escorted from an event at Black Lives Matter Plaza in D.C. after he was identified by activists aware of the accusations against him. That same day, <mask> was similarly evicted from a Pro-Trump event in DC. Participation in the 2021 Capitol attack

<mask> traveled to D.C., where he had attempted to organize a counterprotest to the pro-Trump events of January 6;  Amid widespread calls for people not to participate in counterprotests,  <mask>'s event did not draw attendees. That same day, <mask> helped organize a "Stop the Steal" rally in D.C. that was widely attended. <mask> participated in the storming of the United States Capitol. <mask> wore a ballistic vest and gas mask, entering the building through a broken window. <mask> took extensive video, including video of the shooting of Ashli Babbitt.<mask> could be heard saying "Dude, this shit's gonna go viral" after Babbitt's death. <mask> filmed himself chanting "we about to burn this shit down" and "we accomplished this shit. We did this together. Fuck yeah! We are all a part of this history", "We gotta get this shit burned", and "It's our house, motherfuckers!" He also used a megaphone and shouted support. Speaker's Lobby

Outside the Speaker's lobby, <mask> filmed himself telling others in the crowd that he has a knife;  He later denied having a knife, claiming he "used that to navigate myself to the front of the crowd".Upon reaching the front of the crowd, he tells a law enforcement officer guarding the barricaded door that "We want you to go home. I’m recording and there’s so many people and they’re going to push their
way up here. Bro, I’ve seen people out there get hurt. I don’t want to see you get
hurt." Public interviews

Moments after Babbitt was shot, <mask> gave an impromptu interview with a streamer identifying as working for Infowars. Later that night, <mask> and Jade Sacker appeared on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, showing <mask>'s footage of the Babbitt shooting. Detention and FBI interview
On January 7, <mask> was reportedly detained by DC Metro police.On January 7, <mask> was interviewed by FBI agents about the shooting. <mask> said he is not affiliated with BLM or antifa, nor with the pro-Trump crowd, although he supports Black Lives Matter. When asked about the use of antifa hashtags in his social media posts, he rejected being associated with the group, but has stated that he, along with his group, is anti-fascist. He admitted to shouting support during the attack, but claimed he only did these things to "blend in" with the pro-Trump mob. His brother, <mask>, said that he sent the FBI tips about <mask> about a week after the attack. On January 13, 2021, an arrest warrant with three counts related to the DC riot was signed by a magistrate judge. The affidavit was based on work by the Counterterrorism Section of the United States Department of Justice National Security Division and the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia.The affidavit stated that <mask> entered the Capitol's west side by climbing through a broken window. He later approached another window and a knocking noise was heard, after which it was broken. <mask> stated, "I broke it. My bad, my apologies. Well they already broke a window, so you know, I didn't know I hit it that hard. No one got that on camera." One charge, "40 U.S.C.§ 5104(e)(2)(D)", is a specific crime of entering or remaining in the House of Congress without authorization. Arrest and charges
<mask> was arrested in Tooele County, Utah, and appeared before a judge on January 15, 2021. Two computers, two cell phones, and camera equipment were seized by the FBI. He was released with strict pre-trial conditions. He was released as the authorities did not have sufficient proof to keep him in custody, and under the conditions that he keeps a job where he has to work full-time; remains at home except to go to work, church or court; only posts to social media to request jobs; does not leave Utah and surrenders his passport to the authorities; does not work anymore with Insurgence USA though still being allowed to handle its financial transactions and tax returns; has a mental health evaluation; does not possess firearms. By May 2021, <mask> faced eight charges for his involvement in the siege, including an allegation he incited rioters so he could video the violence, later selling the video to news outlets for $90,000, which prosecutors confiscated. Prosecutors alleged <mask> told another individual, "I brought my megaphone to instigate shit.I was like, guys we're going inside, we're fucking shit up... I'm gonna make these Trump supporters fuck all this shit up." Antifa conspiracy theory

<mask>'s involvement in the riots was cited by pro-Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and The Gateway Pundit as part of a false theory alleging antifa's involvement in the riots. Giuliani published a screen shot of a message from <mask> reading "I'm currently working with the FBI to expose and place total blame on <mask> and the 226 members of antifa that instigated the Capitol 'riot'". Federal authorities had not identified <mask> as a member of antifa and the FBI had announced on January 8 there was no evidence of antifa involvement in the siege. BLM Utah had for months disassociated itself from <mask> on concerns that he might be associated with the Proud Boys. Claims of being a journalist
<mask> has called himself a citizen journalist and claimed he was at the Capitol attack only as a photojournalist.An FBI affidavit disputes the claim he was a photojournalist, as he had no press credentials. Prosecutors allege that in December 2020,  <mask> publicly denied being a journalist. <mask>'s own recording is a described as a first-person documentary film  he released on YouTube under the title Shooting and Storming of the US Capitol in Washington DC. J. Hoberman, a film critic writing in Artforum, reviewed <mask>'s film, describing it as "cinema as forensic evidence" and comparing it to the Zapruder film of the Kennedy assassination, while also characterizing it as a "gonzo reportage". Parts of the footage were used in the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump. CNN, NBC News, Australian Broadcasting Corporation and The Washington Post were among the media outlets that paid <mask> for his video. When entering the capitol, <mask> was accompanied by Jade Sacker, a Los Angeles-based independent documentary filmmaker, who was filming <mask> as part of a documentary on him and his brother, James.References

Mary Joan Okum (née Kath; October 27, 1924 – December 8, 2015), known by her performing name <mask>, was an American musical pioneer, recognized as one of the first female rock and roll singers. She is also one of the first artists to gain crossover success from country music to rock and roll. She was the "top name" on the first country music program regularly broadcast on a national TV network. <mask> was one of the first female co-hosts of a successful syndicated  television talk show, and a regular musical performer on popular shows in the 1960s and 1970s. She "was a prime mover in the first days of rockabilly," and is a member of the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. Early life and rise to fame
Born in Towanda, Illinois, Kath's parents were Arthur (1899–1977) and Eva Kath (1905–2000). She had a brother, Arthur (1926–2003), and a sister, Eleanor McConkey."I was named after my grandmother Mary, and my grandfather Joe; and my mother added the -an onto the end of it. In spite of the spelling the family pronounced it as Jo Ann," <mask> noted in a 2007 interview. When the family home in Towanda burned down, they moved to Carlock, Illinois, where her father became a tenant farmer. Kath grew up listening to Patsy Montana and her band "The Prairie Ramblers", and was greatly inspired by her. She learned how to yodel from her maternal grandmother Mary, who had emigrated from Switzerland. She started violin lessons when she was five, and her father bought her a "two dollar-and-a half pawnshop guitar" when she was 11. In 1941, aged 16, she was singing and performing on WJBC (AM) in Bloomington, Illinois.At 17, after she graduated from high school, she sent an audition record to KMBC in Kansas City, Missouri, and was signed to a five-year contract to perform on the Brush Creek Follies barn dance show as "Sally Carson," and with a group called The Rhythm Rangers. The show was broadcast nationwide on the Columbia Broadcasting Service, and has been described as "one of the biggest music programs in the country" at the time. A newspaper columnist described her opening in Kansas City:

“She walked out into the spotlight and the crowds went ‘Ahhhh!’.” A couple of minutes later she brought down the house! That’s the history in brief of Sally Carson’s first appearance as a regular songstress last Saturday on KMBC’s Brush Creek Follies. You can close your eyes...and even her voice bubbles over with wim, wigor, and witality. Open up though, and the secret is no longer a secret — just look at them golden tresses!”

In 1945, Bill McCluskey, executive at WLW in Cincinnati, first learned of <mask> from a salesman he met on a train who “proceeded to rave about a young teenage country and western singer named Sally Carson who in his opinion was the best in the business..." McCluskey had the girl send a transcription of her singing to WLW. Impressed, he then requested a recording of her singing and yodeling "Train Whistle Blues."He hired her, however because KMBC owned the rights to "Sally Carson" had to change her name. She said "My real name is Mary Jo". He said "Not Country enough" and redubbed her as <mask>. She was promptly featured on Boone County Jamboree, which became Midwestern Hayride Country & Western Radio Program broadcasts and live tours. Her contract with KMBC was voided because she was a minor when she signed it. Once known as Mary Jo, the Yodeling Sweetheart, <mask> now earned the devotion of listeners which would last the rest of her career. She performed regularly with the sister duo she had listened to as a child, the Girls of the Golden West, one of whom was McCluskey's wife.During her years with WLW, <mask> often performed at country music hub Nashville, Tennessee on weekends, including several times at the Grand Ole Opry. On August 26, 1945, she married Glenn Ewins (1920–1964). She returned to Illinois with Ewins in 1947 when he took a job at Farmers State Bank where his father was a major stockholder and cashier, and had her only child, Constance, September of that year. In 1950, two masked men entered her home at one a.m., shoved her into a kitchen closet, and demanded to know where her husband was, saying they wanted him to open the bank safe for them. She told them the safe was on a timer and couldn't be opened at night. They absconded leaving <mask> unharmed. In 1952 the Ewins family returned to Cincinnati and <mask> resumed work on Midwestern Hayride.On January 24, 1964, her husband died in a car accident in Cincinnati. <mask> continued radio performances until the end of the 1940s. Some of her radio performances were cut to acetate and released to the public, but she didn't gain prominence as a recording artist until the 1950s. From yodeling sweetheart to rockabilly pioneer
In 1953, <mask> signed with her first record company, King Records in Cincinnati, Ohio. Early in her recording career, she performed country music songs. She soon had top-10 country hits with "Tennessee Wig Walk" and "Seven Lonely Days", each of which sold about 750,000 copies. <mask> started recording rock and roll in a style later called rockabilly.In 1954, she recorded the song "Two-Step Side-Step", written by Murry Wilson, father of the Beach Boys Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson. In 1955, she released her first rock and roll record called "Daddy-O". The song rose to 14 on the Billboard chart and turned <mask> into a rock and roll star overnight. It wasn't until 1958 though that <mask> had another hit, a duet with Rusty York called "La Dee Dah". They soon recorded a Teen Pop song together called "I Let the School Bell Ding-a-Ling". When her contract with King expired, <mask> could have signed with a major label, but declined since it would have required her moving to New York. "I was supposed to sign with RCA Victor, but instead I went with Fraternity Records just because it was local.I should have had more sense. I've always wanted to stay in Cincinnati, though, because of my family and profession." She released several different singles for Fraternity, but none was as successful as her King singles. WLW hampered her career by refusing to allow her time off to tour in support of her early recordings, which had sold well overseas, especially in England where her label was Parlophone, which was also The Beatles' label during most of the band's existence. "When the record hit the top twenty nationally, I asked the station if I could take some time off to tour. Management said no. That hurt: I couldn’t promote the record or myself."Some of her records were also released by labels in Germany and the Netherlands. Reflecting on her recording career in the 1980s, she concluded that "the sound on my records was too mixed, part country, part R&B. It got the artists and the public confused, I believe. You to do one thing or the other. People won't accept it unless you focus. You can't have a mixed bag." Later career and personal life
As television eclipsed radio in popularity, <mask>'s engaging personality and beauty allowed her to easily adapt to the visual medium.WLW's TV affiliate, WLWT, featured her prominently in several roles. For two decades she co-hosted and performed on the popular weekday program, the Paul Dixon Show. Their pairing began when Dixon approached her and said, "I’d like to have you with me every day. We fit one another.” The show was perfect for a quick-witted, multi-faceted performer like <mask>, who noted, "The show was off the top of his head. You had to know how to ad lib." Faithful to her country music roots, she was also the "top name" on WLWT's televised version of Midwestern Hayride, which began as a regional program and was eventually the first country music program regularly broadcast on a national TV network, NBC. <mask>, dubbed "Queen of the Hayride", (and sometimes affectionately referred to on the show as "Queenie") appeared on the program until it ceased production in 1972.She appeared regularly on the Ruth Lyons (broadcaster) 50-50 Club, an innovative live weekday talk and entertainment show that had 7 million viewers at its peak, though it was only aired regionally. In 1958, she and other WLWT luminaries recorded a Christmas album for Ruth Lyons's new record label that sold about 250,000 copies. As busy as her TV schedule was, she hosted Six Star Ranch, a WLW live music radio show transmitted nationwide by the Mutual Broadcasting System. When Dixon's show ended not long after his death in 1974, <mask> semi-retired from show business to Monfort Heights, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati, with her second husband, Milton J. Okum (b. 1926), a furniture store owner and magician. They wed in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 2, 1966. Capitalizing on her public appeal, the Okums appeared together in TV commercials for the store.For a couple of years in the mid-1980s, she hosted a weekend country music show on WPFB in Middletown, Ohio. A 2013 look back at the station's history deemed <mask> "[p]erhaps the most beloved DJ that blessed the [station's] airwaves..." Due to her many years on radio and TV and performing in public, she was a household name in Cincinnati and across the country among viewers of the programs on which she was a regular performer. In her 80s, she still performed in public occasionally. For decades <mask> was an indefatigable entertainer. Until her retirement she performed not just on radio and television, but at taverns, county fairs, conventions, trade shows, and countless other venues. Her accessibility, vivacity, and talent made her a headline favorite wherever she appeared. Even at 17, when her career was building momentum, a columnist for the Atchison (KS) Daily Globe wrote of the young performer that “When Sally Carson looks at us with that twinkle in her eyes, we’re ready to believe anything."On August 3, 2008, during a celebration of King Records and its musicians, <mask> was honored by Cincinnati with a key to the city. In 2014 her fan club celebrated 50 years of continued existence with the same president, Ruth Tatman. March 23, 2015, <mask>'s home town, Towanda, Illinois, honored her with a joint resolution. The resolution invites “our local community and beyond to reflect on the talent and remarkable achievements of the hometown girl who grew up to be a star." Renewed interest in recordings and career
In 1971, BBC disk jockey Jimmy Savile played for his listeners <mask>'s "Tennessee Wig Walk", which had reached number 4 on the British music charts in 1953. According to The Daily Telegraph, the song's "catchy rhythm and pause before the final two notes caught [football] fans’ imagination, and within a few weeks it reverberated with new sets of lyrics – some of them repeatable – round every ground in the country." At the time of her death, the paper reported, the song was still "one of the most often heard of the 8,307 football anthems listed on one specialist website."With a new century and renewed interest in early country and rockabilly music came an upsurge of interest in <mask>'s recordings. In 2000, the CD <mask> Lou - Doin' the Tennessee Walk: The Best of the King Years was released by British Westside Records, featuring all of her King hits. It is rated 4.5 (of 5) stars by AllMusic which calls it "an excellent anthology of an artist whose genre-straddling recordings will appeal to '50s country, rock, and pop music lovers". In 2009, Friction Heat (1953–58), a compilation of 32 of her King and Fraternity recordings, was released by the Great Voices of the Century label. Another compilation of 38 songs, <mask>: Rock-A-Billy Essentials, was released as a digital album in 2013 by Rockabilly Records. Most of her recordings, then, are available as commercial digital downloads or through popular streaming services. Some of her individual songs are included on multi-artist compilations, including a 2008 CD, Greatest Country Hits of 1953.<mask>'s "Tennessee Wig Walk"' recording was featured in the 2010 film The Infidel. On March 8, 2015, The Pantagraph newspaper of Bloomington, Illinois published an extended feature about <mask>'s career, and a companion article about the longevity of her fan club. Death
<mask> died in her sleep on the morning of December 8, 2015 at Hillebrand Nursing And Rehabilitation Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, aged 91. She had dementia and was in hospice care. Posthumous tributes to <mask> were featured by media throughout the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. On December 11, 2015, The New York Times published a featured obituary for her in its printed edition. <mask> is entombed in the Arlington Lakeside Chapel & Mausoleum at Arlington Memorial Gardens, Mount Healthy, Ohio.Discography

<mask> (;  603 – 19 January 639 AD) was the king of Austrasia (623–634), king of all the Franks (629–634), and king of Neustria and Burgundy (629–639). He has been described as the last king of the Merovingian dynasty to wield any real royal power. <mask> was the first of the Frankish kings to be buried in the royal tombs at Saint Denis Basilica. Rule in Austrasia
Dagobert was the eldest son of Chlothar II and Haldetrude (575–604) and the grandson of Fredegund. Chlothar had reigned alone over all the Franks since 613. In 622, Chlothar made Dagobert king of Austrasia, almost certainly to bind the Austrasian nobility to the ruling Franks. As a child, Dagobert lived under the care of the Carolingian dynasty forebears and Austrasian magnates, Arnulf of Metz and Pepin of Landen.Chlothar attempted to manage the unstable alliances he had with other noble families throughout much of <mask>'s reign. When Chlothar granted Austrasia to <mask>, he initially excluded Alsace, the Vosges, and the Ardennes, but shortly thereafter the Austrasian nobility forced him to concede these regions to <mask>. The rule of a Frank from the Austrasian heartland tied Alsace more closely to the Austrasian court. Dagobert created a new duchy (the later Duchy of Alsace) in southwest Austrasia to guard the region from Burgundian or Alemannic encroachments and ambitions. The duchy comprised the Vosges, the Burgundian Gate, and the Transjura. Dagobert made his courtier Gundoin—who incidentally established monasteries in Alsace and Burgundy—the first duke of this new polity that was to last until the end of the Merovingian dynasty. While Austrasian rulers such as Chlothar and <mask> controlled these regions through part of the seventh-century, they eventually became autonomous kingdoms as powerful aristocratic families sought separate paths across their respective realms.United rule

Upon the death of his father in 629, <mask> inherited the Neustrian and Burgundian kingdoms. His half-brother Charibert, son of Sichilde, claimed Neustria but <mask> opposed him. Brodulf, brother of Sichilde, petitioned <mask> on behalf of his young nephew, but Dagobert assassinated him and became sole king of the Franks. He later gave the Aquitaine to Charibert as a "consolation prize." In 629, Dagobert concluded a treaty with the Byzantine emperor Heraclius, which entailed enforcing the compulsory baptism of Jews throughout his kingdom. Besides signing this treaty, <mask> also took steps to secure trade across his empire by protecting important markets along the mouth of the Rhine at Duurstede and Utrecht, which in part explains his later determination to defend the Austrasian Franks from the Avar menace. Under the rule of <mask>'s father and like-minded Merovingians, Frankish society during the seventh-century experienced greater integration—the Catholic faith became predominant for instance—and a generally improved economic situation, but there was no initial impetus for the political unification of Gaul.Clothar II did not seek to force his Neustrian neighbors into submission, choosing instead a policy of cooperation. This did not prohibit plunder-raids to replenish the dynastic coffers, which <mask> undertook in Spain for example—one raid there earned him 200,000 gold solidi. Historian <mask> claims that <mask> "was probably richer than most Merovingian monarchs" and cites for example his assistance to the Visigoth Sisenand—whom he aided in his rise to the Visigothic throne in Spain—and for which, Sisenand awarded <mask> a golden dish weighing some five-hundred pounds. When Charibert and his son Chilperic were assassinated in 632, Dagobert had Burgundy and Aquitaine firmly under his rule, becoming the most powerful Merovingian king in many years and the most respected ruler in the West. In 631, <mask> led a large army against Samo, the ruler of the Slavic Wends, partly at the request of the Germanic peoples living in the eastern territories and also due to Dagobert's quarrel with him about the Wends having robbed and killed a number of Frankish merchants. While <mask>'s Austrasian forces were defeated at the Wogastisburg, his Alemmanic and Lombard allies were successful in repelling the Wends. Taking advantage of the situation at the time, the Saxons offered to help <mask> if he agreed to rescind the 500 cow yearly tribute to the Austrasians.Despite accepting this agreement, Fredegar reports that it was to little avail  since the Wends attacked again the following year. Rule in Neustria, from Paris
Also in 632, the nobles of Austrasia revolted under the mayor of the palace, Pepin of Landen. In 634, <mask> appeased the rebellious nobles by putting his three-year-old son, Sigebert III, on the throne, thereby ceding royal power in the easternmost of his realms, just as his father had done for him eleven years earlier. In historian <mask>'s view, <mask>'s creation of a sub-kingdom for his son Sigibert had "important long-term implications for the general structure of Merovingian Francia." As king, Dagobert made Paris his capital. During his reign, he built the Altes Schloss in Meersburg (in modern Germany), which today is the oldest inhabited castle in that country. Devoutly religious, Dagobert was also responsible for the construction of the Saint Denis Basilica at the site of a Benedictine monastery in Paris.He also appointed St. Arbogast bishop of Strasbourg. <mask> was beloved in many ways according to Fredegar, who wrote that "He rendered justice to rich and poor alike," adding that, "he took little sleep or food, and cared only so to act that all men should leave his presence full of joy and admiration." Such images do not fully convey the power and domination wielded by Frankish kings like <mask>, who along with his father Chlothar, reigned to such a degree that historian Patrick Geary described the period of their combined rule as the "apogee of Merovingian royal power." <mask> went down in history as one of the greatest Frankish kings, in spite of his mediocre military record (cf. his defeats by the Saxons and the Wends), having held his lands against the eastern hordes and with noblemen as far away as Bavaria, who sought his overlordship. Only thirty six when he died, Dagobert is considered the last of the great Merovingian kings by most historians, but this does not mean there was a major waning in Frankish power, especially in light of the writings of Paul the Deacon and John of Toledo. J.M.Wallace-Hadrill stated that <mask> "had the ruthless energy of a Clovis and the cunning of a Charlemagne." Despite having more or less united the Frankish realms, he likely was not expecting unitary rule to continue given the diverging interests of the Austrasian and Neustrian Franks, atop those of the Aquitanians and Burgundians. Upon his death, he was buried in the abbey of Saint Denis Basilica, Paris, the first Frankish king to be buried there. <mask>'s interment at Saint-Denis established a precedent for the burial of future French rulers there. Legacy
The pattern of division and assassination, which characterized king <mask>'s reign, continued for the next century until Pepin the Short finally deposed the last Merovingian king in 751, establishing the Carolingian dynasty. The Merovingian boy-kings remained ineffective rulers who inherited the throne as young children and lived only long enough to produce a male heir or two, while real power lay in the hands of the noble families who exercised feudal control over most of the land. In the 830s, a biography of <mask>i, was written, probably by Hincmar.It is mostly unreliable, but does contains some information based on authentic archival documents. <mask> was immortalized in the song Le bon roi <mask> (The Good King Dagobert), a nursery rhyme featuring exchanges between the king and his chief adviser, Saint Eligius (Eloi in French). The satirical rhymes place <mask> in various ridiculous positions from which Eligius' good advice manages to extract him. The text, which probably originated in the 18th century, became extremely popular as an expression of the anti-monarchist sentiment of the French Revolution. Other than placing <mask> and Eligius in their respective roles, it has no historical accuracy. In 1984, a 112 minute long French-Italian comedy, Le bon roi Dagobert (Good King Dagobert) was made, based on <mask> I. The soundtrack was composed by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis, Starring	Ugo Tognazzi, Coluche and Michel Serrault.Marriage and children
According to the Chronicle of Fredegar <mask> I had "three queens almost simultaneously, as well as several concubines". The rex Brittanorum Judicael came to Clichy to visit <mask> I, but opted not to dine with him due to his misgivings about Dagobert's moral choices, instead dining with the king's referendary St. Audoen. The Chronicle of Fredegar names three queens. Nanthild, Wulfegundis, and Berchildis, but none of the concubines. In 625/6 Dagobert married Gormatrude, a sister of his father's wife Sichilde. The marriage was childless. After divorcing Gormatrude in 629/30 he made Nanthild, a Saxon servant (puella) from his personal entourage, his new queen.She gave birth to Clovis II (b. 634/5) later king of Neustria and Burgundy. Shortly after his marriage to Nanthild, a woman called Ragnetrude bore <mask> I a son, Sigebert III (b. 630/1) later king of Austrasia. It has been speculated that Regintrud, abbess of Nonnberg Abbey, was also a child of <mask> I, although this theory does not fit Regintrud's supposed date of birth between 660 and 665. She married into the Bavarian Agilolfing family, either Theodo of Bavaria or his son Theodbert of Bavaria. Coinage and treasures under Dagobert

<mask> (1956–2008) was a prisoner for over 20 years in the Pennsylvania State Prison System. Born in Egypt and raised in Trenton, NJ, he is the author of Life without Parole: Living in Prison Today which documents some stories of prison life, interviews with other prisoners and some short essays about his personal views of Prison and Criminal Justice system in the United States. His book, which is currently in its fifth edition and has been renamed as Life without Parole: Living and Dying in Prison Today, is used by many sociology, criminal justice, and Social Work professors to help teach American justice and social control. <mask>, an intellectual who graduated from Dickinson College and New York Law School, offers a rare and intelligent insider's look at life in an American prison, including achievements and failures in the criminal justice system. <mask>'s writings have been favorably reviewed by the New York Times and have garnered many awards, including two prestigious Pen American Awards in 1991 and 1992 for non-fiction writing. He also wrote poetry about prison life published in an Anthology of Prison Writings, The Crying Wall, published by Willow Tree Press in 2005. <mask>'s crime
This case arises out of a conspiracy involving Hassine and his co-conspirators George Gregory Orlowski and William Eric Decker, which culminated in the August 22, 1980, murder of James Puerale and the shootings of Albert "Skip" Kellet and Lois Kellet.The evidence at trial showed that Hassine first met Orlowski in 1979, and that shortly thereafter they decided to open a store in Morrisville, Pennsylvania, called Greg's Quality Meat Market ("the Market"). The store was financed by Hassine's family, overseen and supervised by Hassine himself, and operated on a daily basis by Orlowski. However, the Market soon experienced financial problems, and, with Hassine's knowledge, Orlowski began selling marijuana and methamphetamine from a back room in the store. In June 1980, Albert Kellet, a close friend of Orlowski, purchased $150 of methamphetamine at the Market. Upon returning home, Kellet discovered that the drugs were of inferior quality and he became enraged. He called Orlowski and invited him to his apartment under the false pretense of wishing to buy more methamphetamine. When Orlowski arrived, Kellet threatened him with a club, stole all of his money and drugs, and threw him out of the apartment.Several days later, Orlowski, <mask>, and Decker, among others, met at the Market to discuss Kellet's actions. The State's witnesses testified that at this meeting, <mask> announced that he wanted Kellet "wasted" and that if Lois Kellet, Albert's wife, was present, she "was to go also, because any witnesses had to go." As a result, <mask>, Decker, and Orlowski made several attempts over the next month to obtain a gun with which to kill Kellet, and they investigated the possibility of paying two other individuals to have Kellet murdered. A number of confrontations between <mask> and Kellet also erupted during this time, and, on at least one occasion, Hassine instructed Decker to shoot Kellet and to kill him. Because it was daylight and a witness was present, Decker declined. Nevertheless, on August 22, 1980, Decker had his own encounter with Kellet, and he returned to the Market to tell Hassine that "[t]onight's the night -- the cat's got to go. We'll use your gun."According to the State's witnesses, Hassine picked Decker up later that evening and drove him to <mask>'s parents' house in Trenton, New Jersey. While Decker waited in the car, Hassine entered the house and obtained his father's .380 caliber Llama handgun. Hassine then drove Decker to Kellet's apartment building and gave him the gun and a New York Yankees batting helmet to cover his hair. As Decker approached the building, he saw Kellet in a first-floor apartment watching television with his wife Lois, along with James Puerale and George Sofield. Decker entered the apartment, surveyed the room, and opened fire, killing Puerale instantly and injuring Skip and Lois Kellet with shots to the head. The police arrested Decker the next day, and arrested Hassine three months later, charging Hassine with first degree murder, attempted murder, conspiracy, and solicitation. The trial
The State presented thirty-four witnesses at Hassine's trial, including Decker, who had negotiated a plea bargain with the District Attorney to avoid the death penalty.Decker and the other witnesses testified as to the details of the murder conspiracy and described Hassine's extensive involvement in the plot to murder Kellet. Hassine then took the stand in his own defense and, for the first time since his arrest, offered an innocent explanation for his role in the conspiracy. He testified that he had obtained his father's gun and stored it in the Market after Orlowski had asked him for protection from Kellet. He then claimed that Decker entered the Market on the day of the murder, and, without Hassine's knowledge, took the gun and left the store "ranting and raving, saying he was going to get Skip Kellet." Hassine thus maintained that he never told Decker to kill Kellet, that he never gave Decker a gun with which to carry out the crime, and that he was never part of the murder conspiracy. Attempting to discredit these claims, the prosecutor asked Hassine a series of questions on cross-examination regarding Hassine's post-arrest silence. In particular, he inquired three times as to why Hassine had not offered the same exculpatory story to the authorities following his arrest.Hassine's attorney objected each time, believing that the questions violated Hassine's rights under Doyle v. Ohio, which provides that the government cannot use a defendant's post-arrest, post-Miranda silence for impeachment purposes at trial. The trial judge agreed, sustaining the objections and preventing Hassine from answering the prosecutor's questions. The prosecutor also made two general references to Hassine's silence in his closing argument. Nevertheless, the court did not provide curative instructions during Hassine's testimony or in the jury charge. The case was sent to the jury at the close of all evidence, and on June 11, 1981, the jury found Hassine guilty and recommended that he be sentenced to life in prison on the charge of first degree murder. After denying Hassine's motions for a new trial and arrest of judgment, the court adopted the jury's recommendation and sentenced Hassine to life imprisonment, in addition to several consecutive prison terms extending from two to twenty years. <mask>'s death
On April 27, 2008, <mask> died while in prison in Pennsylvania under unusual circumstances.An outspoken advocate for prison reform, the cause of his death is presently under investigation by prison authorities and private investigators, though it appears that he hung himself according to a memo prepared by the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections April 28, 2008.

<mask> (; 26 October 1873 in Copenhagen – 3 May 1942) was the first social democratic Prime Minister of Denmark. He served as Prime Minister from 1924 to 1926 and again from 1929 until his death in 1942. Under Stauning's leadership, Denmark, like the other Western European countries, developed a social welfare state, and though many of his ambitions for Social Democracy were ultimately thwarted in his lifetime by events beyond his control, his leadership through grave times places Stauning among the most admired of twentieth-century Danish statesmen. The Stauning Alps, a large mountain range in Greenland, were named after him. Political career

Member of the Folketing
Stauning was trained as a cigar sorter and soon became involved with trade union activity. From 1896 to 1908 he was leader of the Cigar Sorters' Union (part of the Danish Tobacco Workers' Union, in 1898 – 1904 also editor of the magazine Samarbejdet (Co-operation) of the Federation of Trade Unions, and elected Member of Parliament (Folketinget) in 1906. In 1910 he was elected chairman of the Social Democratic Party (Socialdemokratiet), a position he retained for almost thirty years, until 1939.He participated as Minister without Portfolio in the Cabinet of Zahle II from 1916 to 1920. Prime Minister of Denmark
He was elected to government as prime minister in 1924 for the minority cabinet Cabinet of <mask> Stauning I which would survive until 1926. His cabinet was considered ground-breaking not only as it was the first purely Social Democratic cabinet, but also because a woman, Nina Bang, was appointed Minister of Education, which attracted some international attention, as she was one of the first female ministers in the world. From 1929 he led the successful coalition cabinet Cabinet of <mask> <mask> II with the social liberal Det Radikale Venstre party that would steer Denmark out of the Great Depression, shaping a major political compromise that greatly improved the Danish economy, and also transformed the Social Democratic Party from a class party to a popular party. Under Stauning's leadership Denmark, like the other Western European countries, developed a social welfare state. It is often proposed that the long-lived coalition cabinet actively averted the communist and fascist movements that were sweeping much of Europe from developing a strong following in Denmark. In January 1933, Stauning's government entered into what was then the most extensive settlement yet in Danish politics—the Kanslergade settlement ()—with the liberal party Venstre.The settlement, which was named after Stauning's apartment in Kanslergade in Copenhagen, included extensive agricultural subsidies and reforms of the legislation and administration in the social sector. Stauning holds a record in Danish politics, in having successfully sought re-election no less than three times (1932, 1935 (With the famous slogan "Stauning or Chaos"), 1939). However, an attempt to amend the Constitution failed in 1939, as the turnout in the referendum was insufficient to validate the result. This came as a tremendous blow to Stauning, who seemed to lose his previously sure touch for politics thereafter. He reportedly considered resigning in the wake of the referendum failure, but was persuaded to stay on. Occupation Cabinet
Stauning's second cabinet lasted until Operation Weserübung, the Nazi occupation of Denmark began on 9 April 1940, when the cabinet was widened to include all political parties, called the Stauning III Cabinet. Contrary to most other governments of the Nazi-invaded countries, King Christian X of Denmark and his government ordered the army and navy to stop fighting, and chose to remain in their country also under the occupation, which is believed to have contributed to the Nazi leaders being more lenient in Denmark than in other countries under Hitler's control.<mask> died in 1942, deeply depressed about the future of social democracy in a Nazi-dominated Europe. Legacy
Like many other workers' leaders of his generation, such as Hjalmar Branting in Sweden, <mask> was a charismatic leader who played an important role in integrating Danish society after the social changes following the Industrial Revolution and common suffrage. His campaign slogan, "Stauning or Chaos," () resonated in a nation undergoing a period of massive unemployment caused by the economic, social and political turmoil of its neighbors and trading partners, notably Denmark's chief trading partner Germany. The following Great Depression brought Danish unemployment to unprecedented heights. This period of widespread social malaise was fertile ground for leaders who could communicate a confident and coherent vision to the masses. <mask> was such a man for Denmark, and his popularity won the Social Democratic Party 46% of the total votes in the 1935 Folketing election, a figure never again reached by any Danish party. He was given a state funeral in 1942, an honour normally not bestowed on Danish prime ministers.Although Denmark's relationship with Germany during World War II has been controversial, <mask>'s legacy in Denmark remains positive. His popularity in the 1930s acted as a force limiting the growth of other populist parties—most importantly, the Nazi party, which remained politically insignificant. <mask> also played a major role in containing the constitutional Easter Crisis of 1920 where he brokered a deal with the king in which the monarch accepted a reduction of his own role to a merely symbolical one, avoiding any future interference in the functioning of parliamentary democracy. In return, <mask> kept the pro-republican elements of the Social Democratic Party in line, and ensured his party's political support to the continuation of the Danish monarchy. His government was also responsible for laying the foundations to the future Danish welfare state. References

<mask> (April 17, 1896April 16, 1958) was an American Democratic Party politician from North Carolina. He was the 62nd Governor of North Carolina from 1949 until 1953 and a United States Senator from 1954 until 1958. A native of Alamance County, North Carolina, and a farmer by training, <mask> was a lifelong advocate for agricultural issues and became known in his home state as "the Squire of Haw River." He was elected as the state's Commissioner of Agriculture, but resigned that post to run for governor in 1948. His followers, popularly known as "Branchhead Boys," fervently supported <mask> in all his campaigns and remained a force in North Carolina politics for more than a decade following his death. Early life
<mask> was born in 1896, the son of Robert W<mask> and <mask>. He graduated from Hawkins High School in 1913 and subsequently enrolled in the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, graduating in 1917 with a Bachelor of Science in agriculture.He performed well as a student there, while also running track and volunteering for the Young Men's Christian Association. After graduating he held briefly worked as an emergency food production agent for the United States Department of Agriculture. After the United States entered World War I, he enlisted as a private in the United States Army. For four months he trained with field artillery at Camp Taylor in Kentucky. Shortly before he was due to enroll in officer training school, the war ended and he was discharged from service. <mask> was the only child in his family who had political ambitions. His father advised him that he should acquire land and develop his agricultural enterprise to ensure that when he sought public office he could campaign without fear of losing his job due to political reprisal.Thus, after he was discharged from the army he borrowed $4,000 from his father and bought 224 acres of land. He cleared it and raised sheep and cattle. Career

As governor, <mask> created the "Go Forward" program with approval from the state legislature in 1949. He also signed a $200 million rural road building program, leading to nearly 15,000 additional miles of paved road in the state. Immediately following his term as governor, he represented North Carolina in the United States Senate from 1954 and 1958. His son, <mask> served as governor from 1969 to 1973, and his granddaughter, <mask> Phipps served as North Carolina Commissioner of Agriculture from 2001 to 2003. Relative to other Southern Democrats, <mask> was a moderate regarding racial issues during his time as governor.While he supported segregation, he appointed the first black member of the North Carolina Board of Education, Dr. Harold Trigg, and nominated University of North Carolina President Frank Porter Graham to fill a vacant United States Senate seat in 1949. Graham was regarded as one of the most racially and generally progressive figures in the South, and became victimized by pernicious attacks concerning his views on race relations when he campaigned the following year to maintain his senate seat. In an effort to defend Graham, <mask> lent the full weight of his political organization to him and assiduously campaigned across North Carolina. Despite intervention from <mask>, President Harry Truman, U.S. House Speaker Sam Rayburn, and others, Graham was defeated by conservative lawyer <mask> for the Democratic Party's nomination. The tenor of <mask>'s campaign was considered so offensive that <mask>'s wife, First Lady <mask>, refused to shake the senator-elect's hand at an Executive Mansion reception. Years later, when <mask> elected to run for the same U.S. Senate seat which had been contested by Graham, he was queried by a local reporter about how his campaign would respond to the race-baiting strategies that are imputed with the loss of his appointee. To this, he is said to have grinned and replied, "I'll handle it, son.I'm not as good a Christian as Frank Porter Graham." <mask> attained the Senate seat by approximately 8,000 votes and served until he died of a heart attack in 1958. He was sworn in on November 29, 1954, instead of the following January, as he was filling a vacant seat. In December he voted to censure Senator Joseph McCarthy. As senator, <mask> moved away from his previously moderate views on race. He was a signatory of the Southern Manifesto, objecting to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education that state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students are unconstitutional. Reacting directly to the Brown ruling, <mask> expressed his wish that the Supreme Court "would reaffirm its own historic decisions approving equal, but separate, school facilities."He added, "I have always...been opposed to Negro and white children going to school together." <mask> also opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and President Eisenhower's decision to send troops to escort black students to Little Rock Central High School. <mask> died in Burlington, North Carolina on April 16, 1958, and is buried in Hawfields Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Mebane, North Carolina. His son, <mask>, was also elected governor in the 1960s. The W. <mask> Dam and Reservoir in Wilkes County, North Carolina are named in honor of the governor. While Senator, he greatly assisted in obtaining approval for construction of the dam and reservoir. In addition, a residence hall is named in his memory on the campus of East Carolina University and a technology building on the campus of Appalachian State University is named for him.His home and farm, the <mask> Farm, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

<mask> (; born 15 August 1963) is a Bosnian-Swiss professional football manager and former player who was most recently the head coach of French side Bordeaux, having previously managed the Switzerland national team, a string of Swiss clubs as well as Italian side Lazio. <mask> is from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Apart from his Bosnian one, he also holds Swiss and Croatian passports. Early life
<mask> was born in Sarajevo, SFR Yugoslavia, modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, in 1963 to a Bosnian Croat family. He is a naturalized Swiss and holds Bosnian, Swiss and Croatian passports. His parents worked in education and due to the family's frequent moving, <mask> changed schools several times. They first lived in Vrelo Bosne and then when he was five years old, in Hadžići near Sarajevo.Playing career
A midfielder with good technique, <mask> started playing football in Ilidža as an eleven-year-old before joining the youth sector of his hometown side FK Sarajevo as a fifteen-year-old. He remained at FK Sarajevo and began his professional career there in the early 1980s. <mask> made only a handful of appearances in a strong Sarajevo side led on the pitch by Bosnian Safet Sušić. <mask> was a part of the Sarajevo side that won the 1984–85 Yugoslav First League, but made only two league appearances for them. His time at Sarajevo was interrupted by two brief stints elsewhere: first, a successful time with Rudar Prijedor where <mask> showed good scoring ability; and then a less successful season in the Yugoslav Second League with a poor NK Koper side which was relegated after finishing last. <mask> emigrated from Yugoslavia in 1987, leaving FK Sarajevo and moving permanently to Switzerland, where he joined second division club Chur 97. After a season with Chur, <mask> moved to the Swiss top division, joining a strong Sion side.Sion achieved a third-place finish in the Nationalliga but <mask> left the club at the end of the season after only making six league appearances. After leaving Sion, <mask> moved back into the lower tiers, first joining Martigny-Sports before returning to his first Swiss club, Chur 97. <mask> enjoyed a career as a regular goalscoring midfielder in the Swiss second division, which included two more stints at Bellinzona and Lugano. <mask> completed his playing career as a player-manager with Bellinzona and Malcantone Agno, the latter having later merged with financially stricken Lugano. Managerial career
After his retirement from playing, <mask> became a coach and his first job was player-manager at Bellinzona in 1997. In 2004, he took over the reins at Lugano before returning to Bellinzona for the fourth time in his career, where he led the club to the 2008 Swiss Cup final, only to lose out to Basel, and promotion to the Swiss Super League. At the beginning of the 2008–09 season, he was appointed as manager of Young Boys.After taking charge at the club, <mask> installed a 3–4–3 formation and took the Bern side to a second-placed league finish. After two more seasons with Young Boys, he was sacked after a 1–1 draw against Luzern on 7 May 2011. The club finished in third place in the league behind their rivals Zürich and Basel. In 2011, he became the new manager of Turkish side Samsunspor. He resigned from that position in January 2012 with the club in the relegation zone. On 15 May 2012, he was named the new temporary manager of Sion until the end of the 2011–12 season. On 2 June 2012, <mask> became the new manager of Italian side Lazio in Serie A.With the club, he won the Coppa Italia in 2013, thanks to a goal from Senad Lulić. On 23 December 2013, it was announced that <mask> was to succeed Ottmar Hitzfeld as the manager of the Switzerland national team after the 2014 FIFA World Cup. As a result, Claudio Lotito fired <mask> claiming a breach of the contract due to not having been duly informed by <mask> about the latter's ongoing negotiations with the Swiss Football Association. <mask> was sacked as Lazio manager on 4 January 2014 and was replaced by Edy Reja. The legal dispute concerning the contract termination between Lazio and <mask> is still ongoing. Since his appointment to the national team spot in July 2014, <mask> has guided the Swiss to the Round of 16 stages of both the UEFA Euro 2016 and the 2018 FIFA World Cup, along with the quarter-finals of UEFA Euro 2020. They also reached the 2019 UEFA Nations League Finals.At the UEFA Euro 2020, he led Switzerland to defeat world champions France 5–4 on penalties in the Round of 16, after a 3–3 draw, to qualify to the quarter-finals of the European Championship for the first time in their history. In late July 2021, <mask> became the manager of French club Bordeaux. Charitable work

<mask>  (born 21 May 1949) is a Scottish journalist and broadcaster who is chairman of The Spectator. He was editor of The Sunday Times from 1983 to 1994. He formerly presented BBC political programmes and was chairman of GB News. Born in Paisley, Renfrewshire, <mask> attended Paisley Grammar School, before studying at the University of Glasgow. He entered journalism in 1973 as a correspondent for The Economist. <mask> was appointed editor of The Sunday Times by Rupert Murdoch in 1983, and held this position until 1994. After this, he became a contributor to the Daily Mail.He was formerly chief executive and editor-in-chief of Press Holdings Media Group. In 1988, he became founding chairman of Sky TV, also part of Murdoch's News Corporation. He worked for the BBC for 25 years until 2020, fronting various programmes, including Sunday Politics and This Week on BBC One and Daily Politics, Politics Live and The <mask> Show on BBC Two. Since 2008 he has been chairman of Press Holdings, whose titles include The Spectator, and ITP Media Group. Following his departure from the BBC, he became founding chairman of GB News and a presenter on the channel, but resigned in September 2021. Early life
<mask> was born on 21 May 1949 in Paisley, Renfrewshire, to Mary and <mask>. His mother worked in cotton mills during the second world war and his father ran the war-time Cairo fire brigade, worked as an electrician and was a major in the Territorial Army in Renfrewshire.He grew up in the Glenburn area and attended the local Lancraigs Primary School. At 11, <mask> passed the qualifying examination and obtained entrance to the selective Paisley Grammar School. After school, <mask> attended the University of Glasgow, where he edited the student newspaper, the Glasgow University Guardian, and dabbled in student television. He was a member of the Dialectic Society and the Conservative Club, and participated in Glasgow University Union inter-varsity debates. In 1971, he was chairman of the Federation of Conservative Students. He graduated in 1971, with an MA with honours in political economy and political science. He had been tutored by Vince Cable and had a focus on American history.Press career
After his graduation, <mask> briefly worked as a sports correspondent for a local newspaper, the Paisley Daily Express, before working for the Conservative Party. In 1973, he joined The Economist as a correspondent and was later promoted as editor of the publication's section on Britain. The Sunday Times
<mask> was editor of The Sunday Times from 1983 to 1994. His hiring was controversial: it was argued he was appointed by Rupert Murdoch over more experienced colleagues, such as Hugo Young and Brian MacArthur. <mask> told Murdoch before he was appointed editor that The Sunday Times was intellectually stuck in a 1960s time warp and that it needed to "shake off its collectivist mind-set to become the champion of a market-led revolution that would shake the British Establishment to its bones and transform the economy and society". <mask> later claimed that although he shared some of Murdoch's right-wing views, "on many matters Rupert was well to the right of me politically. He was a monetarist.I was not. Nor did I share his conservative social outlook". In his first editorial, on 9 October 1983, <mask> advised Margaret Thatcher's government to "move to the right on industrial policy (trust-bust, deregulate, privatise wherever it produces more competition and efficiency) and centre-left in economic strategy (a few billion extra in capital spending would have little impact on interest rates or inflation but could give a lift to a shaky economic recovery)". The Sunday Times strongly supported the stationing of American cruise missiles in bases in Britain after the Soviet Union installed SS-20s in Eastern Europe, and it criticised the resurgent Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. <mask> also wrote editorials supporting the United States invasion of Grenada because it would restore democracy there, despite opposition from Hugo Young. <mask> replied to Young that he wanted the editorial stance of The Sunday Times to be "neo-Keynesian in economic policy, radical right in industrial policy, liberal on social matters and European and Atlanticist on foreign policy". In <mask>'s first year as the paper's editor, The Sunday Times had revealed the date of the deployment of cruise missiles, exposed how Mark Thatcher had channelled the gains from his consultancy business into a bank account and reported on Robert Mugabe's atrocities in Matabeleland.<mask> also printed extracts from Germaine Greer's Sex and Destiny and from Francis Pym's anti-Thatcher autobiography, as well as a study of the "Patels of Britain", a celebration of the success of Britain's Asian community. <mask> regards the newspaper's revelation of details of Israel's nuclear weapons programme in 1986, by using photographs and testimony from former Israeli nuclear technician Mordechai Vanunu, as his greatest scoop as an editor. During his editorship, the newspaper lost a libel case over claims that it had made concerning a witness, Carmen Proetta, who was interviewed after her appearance in the Death on the Rock documentary on the Gibraltar shootings. One of The Sunday Times journalists involved, Rosie Waterhouse, resigned not long afterwards. On 20 July 1986, The Sunday Times printed a front-page article (titled 'Queen dismayed by "uncaring" Thatcher') alleging that the Queen believed that Margaret Thatcher's policies were "uncaring, confrontational and socially divisive". The main source of information was the Queen's press secretary, Michael Shea. When Buckingham Palace issued a statement rebutting the story, <mask> was so angry at what he considered to be the Palace's double-dealing that he refused to print the statement in later editions of The Sunday Times.In 1987, the Labour-controlled Strathclyde Regional Authority wanted to close down <mask>'s old school, Paisley Grammar School. After finding the Secretary of State for Scotland, Malcolm Rifkind, indifferent to the school's future, <mask> contacted Margaret Thatcher's policy adviser, Brian Griffiths, to try and save the school. When Griffiths informed Thatcher of Strathclyde's plan to close it she issued a new regulation that gave the Scottish Secretary the power to save schools where 80 per cent of the parents were opposed to the local authority's closure plan, thereby saving Paisley Grammar. While at The Sunday Times in 1988, <mask> met the former Miss India, Pamella Bordes, in a nightclub, an inappropriate place for someone with <mask>'s job according to Peregrine Worsthorne. The News of the World suggested Bordes was a call girl. Worsthorne argued in an editorial article "Playboys as Editors" in March 1989 for The Sunday Telegraph that <mask> was not fit to edit a serious Sunday newspaper. Worsthorne effectively accused <mask> of knowing that Bordes was a prostitute.He apparently did not know about Bordes, which the Telegraph had accepted by the time the libel case came to High Court of Justice in January 1990, but the paper still defended their coverage as fair comment. <mask> won both the case and £1,000 in damages plus costs. In a July 1988 editorial ("Morals for the majority") <mask> claimed that in Britain there were emerging pockets of social decay and unsocial behaviour: "a social rot...has gone deeper than the industrial decay of the 1960s and 1970s". Having been impressed with Charles Murray's study of the American welfare state, Losing Ground, <mask> invited Murray to Britain in 1989 to study Britain's emerging underclass. The Sunday Times Magazine of 26 November 1989 was largely devoted to Murray's report, which found that the British underclass consisted of people existing on welfare, the black economy and crime, with illegitimacy being the single most reliable predictor. The accompanying editorial said Britain was in the midst of a "social tragedy of Dickensian proportions", with an underclass "characterized by drugs, casual violence, petty crime, illegitimate children, homelessness, work avoidance and contempt for conventional values". Under <mask>'s editorship, The Sunday Times opposed the poll tax.In his memoirs, <mask> claimed that his opposition to the poll tax crystallised when he discovered that his cleaner would be paying more poll tax than himself at a time when his income tax had just been reduced to 40% from 60%. During the 1990 Conservative Party leadership election, The Sunday Times was the only Murdoch-owned newspaper to support Michael Heseltine against Thatcher. <mask> blamed Thatcher for high inflation, "misplaced chauvinism" over Europe, and the poll tax, concluding that she had become an "electoral liability" and must therefore be replaced by Heseltine. In an editorial of January 1988 ("Modernize the monarchy"), <mask> advocated the abolition of both the preference for males in the law of succession and of the exclusion of Catholics from the throne. Subsequent editorials of The Sunday Times called for the Queen to pay income tax and advocated a scaled-down monarchy that would not be class-based but which would be "an institution with close links to all classes. That meant clearing out the old-school courtiers...and creating a court which was far more representative of the multi-racial meritocracy that Britain was becoming". In an editorial of February 1991 <mask> criticised some minor members of the Royal Family for their behaviour while the country was at war in the Gulf.In 1992 <mask> obtained for The Sunday Times the serialisation rights for <mask>'s book Diana: Her True Story, which revealed the breakdown of Princess Diana's marriage as well as her bulimia and her suicide attempts. In 1992 <mask> was criticised by anti-Nazi groups and historians like Hugh Trevor-Roper for employing the Holocaust denier David Irving to translate the diaries of Joseph Goebbels. End of the Murdoch connection
According to <mask>, he was replaced as Sunday Times editor in 1994 because Murdoch had become envious of his celebrity. Many years later, in November 2017, former Conservative cabinet minister Kenneth Clarke said <mask> had been removed because <mask>'s article about corruption in the Malaysian government of Mahathir Mohamad conflicted with Murdoch's desire to acquire a television franchise in the country. The Malaysian prime minister at the time told Clarke on a ministerial visit that he had achieved <mask>'s sacking after a telephone conversation with Murdoch. The conflict between <mask> and Mohamad did become public knowledge at the time. The British minister of state for trade Richard Needham criticised <mask> and the newspaper for potentially putting thousands of jobs at risk.<mask>'s departure from his role as Sunday Times editor was officially reported in 1994 as being merely temporary, as he was to present and edit a current affairs programme for Fox in New York. "During my time, the Sunday Times has been at the centre of every major controversy in Britain", he said at the time. "These are the kind of journalistic values I want to reproduce at Fox". <mask>'s new television programme did not make it to air. A pilot produced in September had a mixed internal response, and Murdoch cancelled the entire project in late October. <mask> did not return to his job as Sunday Times editor. Post-News Corp career
<mask> became a contributor to the Daily Mail.In 1996, he became editor-in-chief of the Barclay brothers' Press Holdings group of newspapers, owner of The Scotsman, Sunday Business (later just The Business) and The European. Press Holdings sold The Scotsman in December 2005, ending <mask>'s relationship with the newspaper. <mask> has not enjoyed great success with the circulations of the newspapers (indeed The European folded shortly after he took over). The Business closed down in February 2008. He exchanged his role as chief executive of Press Holdings for chairman in July 2008. He is chairman of the Press Holdings title The Spectator. Since 2006 <mask> has been chair of the Dubai-based publishing company ITP Media Group.In June 2008, <mask> led a consortium which bought talent agency Peters, Fraser & Dunlop (PFD) from CSS Stellar plc for £4 million, making him chairman of the new company in addition to his other activities. <mask> served as Lord Rector of the University of St Andrews from 1999 to 2002. Broadcasting career
As well as <mask>'s newspaper activities he has maintained a television career. While he worked for The Economist, he provided news reports to American networks. His regular interview series for Channel 4, Is This Your Life? (made by Open Media), was nominated for a BAFTA award for "Best Talk Show". In the course of the series <mask> interviewed a wide variety of personalities, from Albert Reynolds and Morris Cerullo to Jimmy Savile and Max Clifford.He acted as a television newsreader in two films: Dirty Weekend (1993) and Parting Shots (1999), both directed by Michael Winner. Sky

In 1988 he became founding chairman of Sky TV, also part of Murdoch's News Corporation. <mask> was instrumental in the company's launch, overseeing the transformation of a downmarket, single-channel satellite service into a four-channel network in less than a year. <mask> and Murdoch stood side by side at Sky's new headquarters in Isleworth on 5 February 1989 to witness the launch of the service. Sky was not an instant success; the uncertainty caused by the competition provided by British Satellite Broadcasting (BSB) and the initial shortage of satellite dishes were early problems. The failure of BSB in November 1990 led to a merger, but a few programmes acquired by BSB were screened on Sky One and BSB's satellites were sold. The new company was called
