This is a site about the books and other writing by James Rodgers, author of Assignment Moscow: Reporting on Russia From Lenin to Putin ( new edition 2023 ; first published July 2020); Headlines from the Holy Land (2015 and 2017); No Road Home: Fighting for Land and Faith in Gaza (2013); Reporting Conflict (2012). My work looks at how stories of international affairs, especially armed conflict, are told to the world.

I am an author and journalist. During two decades of covering international news, I reported on the end of the Soviet Union; the wars in Chechnya; the coming to power of Vladimir Putin; 9/11; the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; the 2003 war in Iraq; Russia’s war with Georgia in 2008. I completed correspondent postings for the BBC in Moscow, Brussels, and Gaza. I now teach in the Journalism Department at City, University of London.

Now Out: Assignment Moscow ‘Beautifully written, fascinating throughout’

MY NEW BOOK , Assignment Moscow: Reporting on Russia from Lenin to Putin has now been published in the U.S. and the U.K.

You can order copies, and read more about the book, here for the U.K, edition ( here for the U.S. edition).

These are the reviews so far

“Reporting from Russia has never been easy; Rodgers vividly captures the changing fortunes of Moscow correspondents over the past hundred years, as they penetrated the mysteries of life in Russia and brought them to our newspapers and screens. Some were duped, some were fellow-travellers or spies; most battled against censors and blank-faced politicians; all have helped to shape our understanding of the world’s biggest country.” –  Angus Roxburgh, former Moscow correspondent for the BBC, Sunday Times and Economist

“Writing about journalism in Russia since the revolution, James Rodgers rightly emphasises that to understand Russia you have to talk to people of all kinds. But he argues that even correspondents who knew the language and the history found it hard to report dispassionately because of official obstruction and their own emotional involvement.” –  Rodric Braithwaite

“A highly original, engrossing and accessible book, Assignment Moscow stands out among journalistic accounts of Russia for its subtlety, humility and historic scope. It tells the story of British and American journalists who aimed to throw light on Russia from Lenin to Putin, and in the process illuminated the West itself.” –  Arkady Ostrovsky, Author of The Invention of Russia: The Rise of Putin and the age of Fake News, Winner of the 2016 Orwell Prize

“It is hard to believe that in the torrent of books published on Russia each year, that one could come along as original and valuable as Assignment Moscow. One comes to appreciate the service of our reporting men and women in Moscow. For all their fallibilities, without their dedication, we wouldn’t have half the understanding of Russia that we have today, imperfect as it will always be. We therefore owe them – and especially Rodgers as journalist, teacher, analyst and cataloguer – a huge debt.” –  James Nixey, Chatham House

I was also delighted to get this endorsement on Twitter from Peter Frankopan, Professor of Global History at the University of Oxford, and author of The Silk Roads and The New Silk Roads .

Royals and riots: uk’s king charles criticised for staying silent.

LONDON: Britain’s King Charles III has faced criticism for remaining silent on the near-daily riots seen since early last week following a deadly knife attack that killed three children.

While the monarch and his wife Camilla conveyed their condolences to the families of the three girls killed in the mass stabbing on July 29, Buckingham Palace has not commented on the riots which ensued.

“I am surprised that the king as head of state hasn’t come out more forcefully, given that it’s a perilous moment for the United Kingdom,” said historian and royal commentator Ed Owens.

{try{this.style.height=this.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight+'px';}catch{}}, 100)" width="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="height:250px;position:relative" src="https://www.dawn.com/news/card/1851128" sandbox="allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-popups allow-modals allow-forms">

However, according to constitutional law expert Craig Prescott, “the monarchy does not comment on current political events”.

“Once the riots have subsided, you might expect members of the royal family to visit places affected and perhaps to see them more in multicultural settings,” Prescott said in a post on X. “If the king speaks out about this, then what about the next big issue, and the one after that?”

“Too ‘combustible’”?

Charles’s silence is in keeping with his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, who remained similarly quiet during the last wave of riots which shook England in 2011. It is typically explained by the expectation that British monarchs avoid commenting on anything deemed political.

Owens argued Charles, who has gradually resumed public duties after a cancer diagnosis earlier this year, may not have publicly reacted due to two main reasons.

On the one hand, he may have been “advised by his government that it would be unwise at this stage of intervene directly”. On the other, the monarch might himself have deemed the issue too “combustible”.

About the author

James rodgers.

James Rodgers writes books on international affairs, especially armed conflict. His work has a focus on how the stories of those events are told to the world. Much of his writing draws on his own experience reporting from the former Soviet Union and the Middle East as a journalist from the 1990s onwards. During his BBC career (1995-2010), James completed postings in Moscow, Brussels, and Gaza where, from 2002-2004, he was the only international correspondent based in the territory. His numerous other assignments included New York and Washington following the September 11th attacks; reporting from Iraq in 2003 and 2004 during the United States-led invasion; and covering the wars in Chechnya.

James now lectures in International Journalism at City, University of London. He still works as a journalist, too--contributing work to the BBC, NBC Think, Forbes.com, Monocle Radio, and others.

Does the Law Ever Run Out?

62 Pages Posted:

Charles F. Capps

Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law

Date Written: July 29, 2024

Although laypeople commonly believe that the job of a judge is to decide every case as the law requires, a broad consensus exists among legal scholars that the law not infrequently “runs out,” leaving the judge with no choice but to settle the parties’ dispute on extralegal grounds. That consensus is difficult to square with the plausible claim that deciding even close cases by coin toss is not only morally but legally objectionable. If following all the procedures prescribed by law for deciding a case fails to lead the judge to an outcome, then it is hard to see why the judge violates her legal duties if she settles the dispute by flipping a coin. This Article offers a tentative defense of the popular idea that the judge’s job in every case is to follow the law to an outcome. The Article examines the features of the law that allegedly cause it to run out, including permissive rules, balancing tests, vagueness, ambiguity, silence, contradictions, and uncertainty. Tentatively, the Article concludes that none of these features causes the law to run out. More confidently, it maintains that the extent, if any, to which the law runs out depends on difficult issues in the philosophy of law, language, and value—issues that parties to the consensus that the law runs out in a significant range of cases do not appear to have worked through to resolution. When, if ever, the law runs out has several important implications: for judicial ethics, for the proper scope of Auer deference and other legal doctrines, and for adjacent scholarly debates such as the debate over the interpretation-construction distinction. 

Keywords: legal formalism, legal realism, vagueness, ambiguity, epistemicism, law and philosophy, judicial discretion, legal indeterminacy, public trust, auer deference

Online trading platforms down for thousands, Downdetector shows

By Kate Gibson

Edited By Anne Marie Lee

Updated on: August 5, 2024 / 2:43 PM EDT / CBS News

Charles Schwab, Fidelity Investments and Vanguard were among the online brokerages that went down for several hours on Monday amid a global stock market rout.

The reported outages topped 15,000 Charles Schwab users roughly 15 minutes after Wall Street's opening bell, and then dwindled to a negligible number by early afternoon, according to Downdetector.com, a website that tracks outages.

"Due to a technical issue, some clients may have difficulty logging in to Schwab platforms," the brokerage posted on X. The company is working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible, it added.

Outage reports on Fidelity surpassed 3,000, and Vanguard and TD Ameritrade also had thousands of outage reports, Downdetector showed earlier on.

"We are aware some customers may have experienced issues logging in to Fidelity platforms earlier today. This is now resolved. We apologize for any inconvenience," Fidelity posted early Monday afternoon in response  to a complaint on social media about its outage. 

Online trading firm Robinhood remained in service Monday.

The reported outages came as U.S. stocks plummeted for a third consecutive trading day , with the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping more than 1,200 points in early trade, continuing a global selloff sparked by concerns about the economy. 

Kate Gibson is a reporter for CBS MoneyWatch in New York, where she covers business and consumer finance.

Wisconsin Watch partners with  Gigafact  to produce fact briefs — bite-sized fact checks of trending claims. Read our methodology to learn how we check claims.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, signed legislation allowing Minnesota courts to take “temporary emergency jurisdiction” in a child custody case involving “gender-affirming” care.

The April 2023 law does not change when the state can take custody away from parents or enable the state to take away custody in connection with such care.

The law defines gender-affirming care as “medically necessary” care that can include aligning “the patient’s appearance … with the patient’s gender identity.”

The law enables Minnesota to take temporary jurisdiction in a child custody dispute between parents in another state if one wants a child to obtain gender-affirming care in Minnesota.

Twenty-five states restrict gender-affirming care.

A spokesperson for Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance cited the Minnesota law to back Vance’s claim Aug. 7, 2024, in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, that Walz supports removing custody from parents who “don’t want to consent to sex changes.” This fact brief is responsive to conversations such as  this one .

Britain's King Charles calls for unity, thanks police in wake of far-right riots

Aug. 10 (UPI) -- King Charles III has appealed for "mutual respect and understanding" in the wake of the wave of anti-immigrant, far-right violence that has swept through Britain this month.

In a statement distributed to media outlets on Friday, a Buckingham Palace spokesman said Charles had spoken to Prime Minister Keir Starmer and key police officials, praising them for their actions in facing down violent protesters in cities across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

"The King shared how he had been greatly encouraged by the many examples of community spirit that had countered the aggression and criminality from a few with the compassion and resilience of the many," the spokesman said.

• British prime minister condemns spreading violent protests as 'far-right thuggery'
• British protests, counter-protests erupt after children killed in stabbing spree

"It remains His Majesty's hope that shared values of mutual respect and understanding will continue to strengthen and unite the nation," the Palace said.

In the worst civil disorder seen in Britain in more than a decade, the wave of far-right violence first erupted late last month after three children were killed and eight others were wounded, five critically, in a stabbing spree committed July 29 at a Taylor Swift -themed dance class in the seaside town of Southport, England.

Protests linked to the anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant English Defense League spread to other cities across the country over the next 10 days as rioters targeted mosques and hotels known for being occupied by asylum seekers.

Massive counter-demonstrations organized by anti-racist groups staged across British cities on Wednesday, as well as a beefed-up police response, appeared to have calmed the situation, but police remained on guard over the weekend should trouble again flare.

More than 100 police officers have been injured during the unrest, with some requiring hospitalization, the leader of the Police Federation of England and Wales told the BBC .

More than 600 arrests had been made as of Friday with more than 150 people charged, the broadcaster reported.

Assignment Moscow: Reporting on Russia From Lenin to Putin

Reviewed by maria lipman, by james rodgers.

Rodgers, a British journalist who has worked in Russia at various times since the 1990s, writes about the plight of the English-speaking correspondents who have covered Russia, going all the way back to the Russian Revolution in 1917. That their task was not easy is hardly surprising, yet Rodgers repeatedly emphasizes the difficulties they faced (the word “difficult” is used to describe their job at least two dozen times): strict censorship (foreign journalists were forced to clear their dispatches with Soviet authorities until 1961), travel restrictions, limited access to senior officials and ordinary people alike, and the government’s suspicion that Anglo-American correspondents were spies in disguise. Even Rodgers’s discussion of the American journalist Hedrick Smith—who, despite the restrictions, famously managed to produce exceptionally rich and insightful coverage of the Soviet Union and its people in the 1970s—is reduced to Smith’s reflections on how difficult his work was. Rodgers’s narrative rests on an enormous number of articles in Anglo-American media, books by and about journalists, and his own interviews with many Moscow correspondents. He quotes some of them as saying that journalists knew and understood Russia better than diplomats or policymakers did. This may or may not be true. Unfortunately, Rodgers doesn’t give the diplomats and policymakers a chance to respond.

The prime minister and senior police officers have warned the full force of the law will be used to swiftly punish any offenders.

The King has asked for daily updates on the evolving situation after unrest around the UK, Sky News understands.

He is said to be engaging privately in the issues it has generated.

The King has a record of involvement in issues around community cohesion and interfaith dialogue.

It comes as thousands of specialist police have been mobilised tonight amid fears of further unrest.

The trouble began after the stabbing of three young girls in Southport last week and amid false rumours the suspected attacker was an asylum seeker who had arrived by boat.

Many businesses have chosen to shut early in case the gatherings again descend into serious violence.

Dozens of people accused of being involved in the violence have already appeared in courts around the country.

They include Derek Drummond, 58, who has been jailed for three years after admitting violent disorder and punching a police officer in the face in Southport.

Liam Riley, 41, is another who's been sentenced.

He admitted violent disorder and a racially aggravated public order offence in Liverpool city centre on Saturday night.

Riley, who has no previous convictions but two previous cautions, was jailed for 20 months.

Declan Geiran, 29, also admitted being involved in the violence in Liverpool, as well as sending threatening messages to a woman.

A court heard he was caught on CCTV setting a police van on fire before sitting down and looking "casually" back at what he had done.

He was jailed for two-and-a-half years.

The unrest has also led to a row between Tory leadership rivals after Robert Jenrick told Sky News people shouting Allahu Akbar on the streets should be "immediately arrested".

Mel Stride said "wholesale criminalisation" of the words - used by many Muslims every day - was "unwise and insensitive".

Former Tory Foreign Office minister Lord Ahmad said the comments fuelled Islamophobia "at a time when communal tensions are high".

Following the backlash, Mr Jenrick posted a video on X of a march through Bolton with people chanting the phrase.

He said: "'Allahu Akbar' is spoken peacefully and spiritually by millions of British Muslims in their daily lives. But the aggressive chanting below is intimidatory and threatening."

In Malpractice Suit Against Anesthesiologist, $4.2M Settlement Is Far Greater Than Insurance Coverage

"What I think the plaintiffs bar really needs to focus on is you can get more than the coverage, and for some reason, it's not been done very often," the plaintiff's attorney said.

The family of a woman who died after undergoing the removal of an intrauterine device at an outpatient surgery center has agreed to a $4.2 million settlement of their Essex County suit.

The settlement amount represents $2.2 million more than the defendant’s insurance coverage.

Michelle Crisafulli, 46, of Scotch Plains, died on Aug. 16, 2018, which was approximately a month after she underwent removal of an IUD under general anesthesia at Gregori Surgery Center in West Orange, said Bruce Nagel of Nagel Rice in Roseland. Nagel represented Crisafulli’s estate and her husband, John Crisafulli, along with Susan F. Connors  of his firm.

When she underwent surgery on July 24, 2018, Crisafulli experienced a drop in blood pressure and oxygenation level, indicating trouble, but the surgery was not stopped, Nagel said. Crisafulli never regained consciousness, Nagel said.

Removal of an IUD is typically performed in a doctor’s office and without anesthesia, and it’s unclear why surgery was required for Crisafulli’s procedure, Nagel said.

Nagel said the anesthesiologist who treated Crisafulli, Peter L. Scala, erred by failing to stop the surgery when the patient showed signs of distress.

Crisafulli’s estate sued Scala, as well as his employer, American Anesthesia of New Jersey, and PMG Services, also known as Mednax. Mednax purchased American Anesthesia, Nagel said.

In a mediation with Raymond Reddin , a former Superior Court judge now with Hall Booth Smith in Saddle Brook, the defendants offered to settle for the coverage limit of $2 million. But Nagel refused to accept that amount, he said. Nagel said Essex County Superior Court Judge Thomas Moore helped the parties reach an agreement calling for the settlement to reach $4.2 million.

“What I think the plaintiffs bar really needs to focus on is you can get more than the coverage, and for some reason, it’s not been done very often,” Nagel said.

The case was ready for trial when the second part of the settlement was reached, Nagel said. Jurors would have likely found Crisafulli a sympathetic and likable person, he said. She was married and a mother of daughters who were 17 and 11 when she died, Nagel said. Crisafulli was a longtime first-grade teacher in the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Regional School District and was named the district’s teacher of the year in 2016, he said.

Ultimately, MedPro paid $2 million and Mednax paid another $2.2 million in a settlement reached May 31.

Michael R. Ricciardulli , of Ruprecht, Hart, Ricciardulli & Sherman in Westfield, representing the defendants, did not respond to a call about the settlement.
