A Siberian cult leader who claims to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ was sentenced to 12 years in a Russian prison camp after his conviction for physically and financially harming his followers.Sergei Torop, a former traffic policeman known to his followers as "Vissarion," meaning "he who gives new life," and two aides used psychological pressure to extract money from his followers and cause serious harm to their mental and physical health, Reuters reported.Torop, 64, set up the Church of the Last Testament in a remote part of Siberia's Krasnoyarsk region in 1991, the year the Soviet Union broke up.NOTORIOUS IRANIAN PRISON BOSS FLEES MINUTES BEFORE ISRAELI AIRSTRIKES AFTER SECRET WARNINGHe was one of three men convicted Monday in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk. Torop and Vladimir Vedernikov were sentenced to 12 years, and Vadim Redkin was sentenced to 11 years in a maximum-security prison camp.All three men were arrested in 2020 in a helicopter raid that involved the FSB security service, the successor agency to the Soviet KGB.BELARUSIAN DISSIDENT THANKS TRUMP ADMIN FOR HIS FREEDOM, DEMANDS THE UN ACTA bearded self-styled mystic with long hair, Torop claimed to have been "reborn" to convey the word of God. He attracted thousands of followers, some of whom flocked to live in a settlement known as the "Abode of Dawn" or "Sun City" at a time when Russia was battling poverty and lawlessness, according to Reuters.He told his followers not to eat meat, smoke, drink alcohol or swear and to stop using money.Investigators said the men brought "moral harm" to 16 people, damage to the physical health of six people and moderate damage to another person's health.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPVedernikov had also been accused of committing fraud, the RIA state news agency reported.

One of the most anticipated college football offseason programs is the Manning Passing Academy, which brings together some of the nation's top quarterbacks and others to compete, learn and prepare for the upcoming season.Of course, the camp had a Manning participating instead of teaching, as Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning garnered tons of attention from virtually everyone in-person and looking on at home.Arch will be leading the Longhorns this season after spending two years as Quinn Ewers' backup in Austin, and if he has the Heisman-level season some predict for him, perhaps he will make the leap to the NFL after his junior year.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMDespite not even being in the league yet, comparisons to his Super Bowl-champion uncles, Peyton and Eli Manning, have already begun.Peyton made an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," where he explained his excitement for his nephew this season. However, he knows Arch, his brother and Arch's father Cooper, and others have already prepared the Texas signal caller for what's to come."You know Pat, Eli and I are his uncles," Peyton said to McAfee. "We try to be there as a resource for him, but Cooper has done a great job with Arch, and theyve handled all the different things that have kind of come their way in the right way. Im excited to watch Arch play. Hes been very patient. I thought he threw the ball really well at the camp."TEXAS' ARCH MANNING SHARES ADVICE FROM MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY AS POPULARITY GROWSIt wasn't just Arch that turned heads at the Manning Passing Academy, though."[Arch] and [LSU QB] Garrett Nussmeier, in kind of our three throwing exhibitions, really threw the ball well. All the quarterbacks threw it well. Its impressive. They make throws that I wouldnt even think about making. I mean, Arch made a throw the other day I had to hit the cutoff man to get the ball to the actual receiver. Nussmeier, LaNorris [Sellers] from South Carolina, its impressive all the way around."While there has been a spotlight on Arch since he chose the Longhorns out of high school, it's been rather dim because he's had to wait his turn behind Ewers, who stayed last season to help lead Texas to the College Football Playoff.But two years learning head coach Steve Sarkisian's offensive scheme is something the Indianapolis Colts legend believes did his nephew good."But, look, hes been patient," Peyton explained. "Its been well-documented, hes been there two years. Im such a believer in mastering the system that youre in. When you have new coordinators every single year in the NFL and college, thats just frustrating to me. I was lucky. The fact that Sarkisian calls the plays and Arch has been there for two years already and is going to know the system, thats going to be a huge advantage for him."Im looking forward to seeing him get out on the field. Hes worked real hard. I love seeing him go to that camp for his teammates. Thats being a good teammate. Thats being a good wingman. Im excited to get down there and watch a few games in Austin."One of the main things football fans point out when comparing Arch to his NFL-star uncles is the fact that he can really hit the ground running, making defenders miss when he tucks and heads outside the pocket.As Peyton pointed out, Cooper was a wide receiver, so his wheels must come from his father.What's also moved on to the next generation is the "swagger" he thinks Cooper passed down to Arch."The moxy, that was his dad," Peyton said. "Cooper was a cocky wide receiver that was open every time in the huddle. I think about sophomore year in high school, I was the quarterback, and Cooper was a senior. I think I completed 120 passes that year, and I think 90 of them to my brother. He wouldve liked all 120. He did not care about his teammates or friends. I think that little swagger comes from his dad, and thats good to see."But Arch has to be his own person, and he can move. My dads sort of speed, sort of skipped a generation, skipped me and Eli. Arch has that, which helps him. But I still think with all quarterbacks, weve gotta be able to throw from the pocket first, throw on time and not take a lot of hits. Thats what we talked about with all of them."Arch will be tested right away as the Longhorns starter, as Texas will travel to Ohio State to face the reigning national champions on Aug. 30.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Mayor Eric Adams, chief among Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani's detractors, quickly undercut Mamdani's ambitious policy agenda after the socialist declared victory in New York City's mayoral primary last Tuesday, arguing Mamdani does not have authority to deliver key campaign promises as mayor."Hes a snake-oil salesman," Adams said of Mamdani on "Fox & Friends." "He would say and do anything to get elected."The 33-year-old democratic socialist, who was born in Uganda and would be New York City's first Muslim mayor if elected this November, has a laundry list of radical campaign promises readily available on his website. Those promises include freezing the rent, city-owned grocery stores, free buses, free childcare, raising corporate taxes and increasing the minimum wage.CITY-RUN GROCERY STORES, DEFUNDING POLICE, SAFE INJECTION SITES: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT NYC'S NEXT POTENTIAL MAYORMamdani triggered a political earthquake with his decisive Democratic primary win last week as Republicans and moderate Democrats criticized his socialist policies and accused him of being antisemitic. His opponents have claimed that Mamdani does not have the authority to deliver many of his campaign promises. The reality is a little more complicated.ERIC ADAMS WARNS ZOHRAN MAMDANI IS A 'SNAKE-OIL SALESMAN' AFTER DEM SOCIALIST'S NYC MAYORAL PRIMARY WIN"As Mayor, Zohran will immediately freeze the rent for all stabilized tenants, and use every available resource to build the housing New Yorkers need and bring down the rent," according to Mamdani's campaign website.Mamdani has accused Adams of appointing Rent Guidelines Board members to raise rents on stabilized apartments. While landlords and advocates argue the freeze would be illegal, Mamdani can accomplish this goal by appointing members to the board who wouldn't vote to increase the rent.Former Mayor Bill de Blasio's board voted to freeze the rent three times during his tenure.Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who lost the primary to Mamadani, called the socialist's plan to freeze rent "politically convenient posture," and said such a move would hurt landlords who would be "unable to maintain their buildings."Mamdani has committed to creating a "network of city-owned grocery stores focused on keeping prices low, not making a profit.""Without having to pay rent or property taxes, they will reduce overhead and pass on savings to shoppers. They will buy and sell at wholesale prices, centralize warehousing and distribution, and partner with local neighborhoods on products and sourcing," Mamdani has promised.The mayor of New York City has control over city-run programs, so he can accomplish this goal by securing New York City Council approval. Other cities have implemented similar programs.John Catsimatidis, Owner of Gristedes and DAgostinos, the largest independent supermarket chain in New York City, held a rally this week protesting Mamdani's proposal, calling it a "direct threat to the jobs, dignity, and livelihoods of the tens of thousands of hardworking New Yorkers who keep our city fed every single day."Mamdani has vowed to "permanently eliminate the fare on every city bus and make them faster by rapidly building priority lanes, expanding bus queue-jump signals, and dedicated loading zones to keep double parkers out of the way."This proposal would require coordination with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). MTA is a state-run agency, which the mayor of New York City does not have direct control over.According to City & State New York, Mamdani's free bus fare promise would require an additional expense, possibly more than $700 million. It's unclear how Mamdani plans to pay for the additional fee."Zohran will implement free childcare for every New Yorker aged 6 weeks to 5 years, ensuring high quality programming for all families," according to Mamdani's campaign website.This would likely require a series of steps, including sign-off from state legislators in Albany, as reported by Bloomberg. Mamdani has floated a tax increase on the wealthiest New Yorkers and corporations to pay for the increased services, which would require state-level approval.New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has vocalized her opposition to tax hikes, which could create some hurdles for Mamdani. However, Hochul pushed for an increase in the state's child tax credit earlier this year, and she has nearly doubled funding for state-subsidized child care programs to about $2 million, according to The New York Times.Mamdani said he will fund his programs through a "revenue plan" that would "raise the corporate tax rate to match New Jerseys 11.5%, bringing in $5 billion. And he will tax the wealthiest 1% of New Yorkers those earning above $1 million annually a flat 2% tax."While Mamdani has certainly done the math, a plan like this requires approval from the state legislature and the signature of the governor.As Hochul doubles down on her opposition to tax hikes, Mamdani could face some roadblocks in delivering this marquee campaign promise, as reported in The New York Times."As Mayor, Zohran will champion a new local law bringing the NYC wage floor up to $30/hour by 2030. After that, the minimum wage will automatically increase based on the cost of living and productivity increases," Mamdani claims on his campaign website.It's unclear if the mayor has that power.By allowing the City Council to create its own minimum wage law, Mamdani has proposed a way to raise the minimum wage in New York City without the state's approval.But a state-level increase is unlikely, since a similar effort by the state legislature to raise the minimum wage statewide to $21.25 failed to garner much support, as reported by The New York Times.Bill Ackman, the billionaire founder of Pershing Square Capital Management, said on X, "His policies would be disastrous for NYC. Socialism has no place in the economic capital of our country."Mamdani did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

A dual U.S.-Canadian citizen was arrested last month for his alleged role in an attempt to smuggle a Romanian family of four into the United States, which left them dead, including two young children.Timothy Oakes, 34, from the Akwesasne Mohawk Indian Reservation (AMIR) in Canada, was arrested on June 15 while trying to enter the U.S. via the Massena, New York, port of entry, the Justice Department said.He is charged with conspiring with others to engage in alien smuggling, four counts of alien smuggling for profit, and four counts of alien smuggling resulting in death. He appeared in a federal court on Tuesday and was ordered held.HUMAN SMUGGLERS SENTENCED IN HORRIFIC TEXAS TRUCK DEATHS OF 53 MIGRANTSHis U.S.-based co-conspirators Dakota Montour, 31, and Kawisiiostha Celecia Sharrow, 43, both of Akwesasne-Mohawk, New York, and Janet Terrance, 45, of Hogansburg, New York have all entered guilty pleas."Oakes and his co-conspirators profited from a human smuggling operation with a singular, cold-hearted aim: making money by bringing illegal aliens into the United States, regardless of the danger to human life involved," said Matthew Galeotti, head of the Justice Departments Criminal Division. "Their greed resulted in the deaths of a mother, a father, and two small children, as well as one of the defendants own brothers."Oakes smuggled illegal immigrants from Canada into northern New York using boats to get across the St. Lawrence River, federal prosecutors said.KNIFE-WIELDING ILLEGAL MIGRANT ACCUSED OF THREATENING US ATTORNEY ON ALBANY, NY STREETSHe earned $1,000 per person, authorities said. In March 2023, Oakes housed a Romanian family of four, together with other aliens, for about 24 hours before allegedly taking them on his boat in an attempt to illegally bring them into the U.S. Oakes, his brother Casey, and the Romanian family were on the vessel when it capsized, killing the family, including two children under the age of 3, and his brother."Two toddler-aged children and their parents were the tragic victims of an alien smuggling attempt gone horribly wrong," said Chief Patrol Agent Robert Garcia of the U.S. Border Patrols Swanton Sector. "Their deaths were a direct result of callous smugglers who exploited the vulnerable."Terrance, Montour, and Sharrow admitted in their plea agreements that they were employed to illegally transport the Romanian family a mother, father, 1-year-old boy, and 2-year-old girl from Canada into New York. Montour admitted that he was aware of the dangerous weather conditions on the day of the smuggling attempt high winds, freezing temperatures, and limited visibility, the Justice Department said.

Israel has agreed to a proposal led by the Trump administration for a 60-day ceasefire, during which time President Donald Trump said all parties will work to end the war in the Middle East."My Representatives had a long and productive meeting with the Israelis today on Gaza," Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Tuesday. "Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60 Day CEASEFIRE, during which time we will work with all parties to end the War."The Qataris and Egyptians, who have worked very hard to help bring Peace, will deliver this final proposal," Trump added. "I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa'ar said Monday, "Israel is serious in its will to reach a hostage deal and ceasefire in Gaza."TRUMP PRESSURES ISRAEL TO END GAZA CONFLICT AS HE EYES ABRAHAM ACCORDS EXPANSIONHe pointed to Jerusalems acceptance of a recent proposal presented by Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, but which Hamas rejected as it did not include a solution to a permanent ceasefire and a plan to withdraw Israeli forces from Gaza.Witkoff is expected to head to Cairo in the coming days to begin hashing out new negotiations.TRUMP ANNOUNCES HISTORIC IRAN AND ISRAEL CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT TO END '12 DAY WAR'The president has been pushing for Israel to end its conflict in Gaza and to secure a hostage deal.Ending Israels military operations in Gaza will prove a crucial step in expanding Trumps ambitions to bring new nations into the Abraham Accords.ISRAEL AGREES TO TRUMP-BACKED CEASEFIRE PROPOSAL TO FREE GAZA HOSTAGES: WHITE HOUSE"We have opportunities in front of us," Saar said, echoing Jerusalems ambitions to reach a deal. "We paid for the new reality in the Middle East with the blood of our soldiers and citizens.""Israel is interested in expanding the Abraham Accords circle of peace and normalization. We have an interest in adding countries, such as Syria and Lebanon, our neighbors, to the circle of peace and normalization while safeguarding Israel's essential and security interests," he added.Prior to today, Trump had not detailed which nations are interested in normalizing diplomatic relations with Israel, though nations like Saudi Arabia have made clear that so long as Palestinians continue to suffer in the Israel-Hamas conflict, normalization is off the table.Fox News Digitals Caitlin McFall contributed to this report.

A Georgia immigration judge granted bond for a Spanish-language journalist who was arrested last month while covering a demonstration in DeKalb County, though his challenges are not over as the federal government is seeking to deport him.The Associated Press reported that 47-year-old Mario Guevara, a native of El Salvador, was arrested by local police on June 14 while covering a protest in DeKalb County, just outside Atlanta.Several days after his arrest, local police turned Guevara over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which has kept him in an immigration detention center in Folkston ever since.Guevara started the digital news outlet MG News nearly a year ago, and on Tuesday, the outlet shared on social media that a judge granted him bond.JUDGE SETS STRICT CONDITIONS FOR ABREGO GARCIA'S RELEASE AS TRUMP OFFICIALS PURSUE CASE AGAINST HIM"The immigration judge has granted bail to Mario Guevara," a post on the outlets Facebook feed read. "The immigration process continues but free and in Atlanta."The post also thanks Guevaras attorneys for assisting with the legal process and getting bail for Guevara.In another post, MG News stated Guevara was able to pay $7,500 bail after his arrest while covering the "No Kings" protest on June 14.Guevara left El Salvador 20 years ago and has since built a following covering immigration in Atlanta as a journalist.TRUMP ADMIN FIGHTS TO DEPORT CONVICTED MURDERER SHIELDED BY BIDEN-ERA TORTURE PROTECTIONAt the time of his arrest, Guevara was livestreaming on social media from a DeKalb County "No Kings" rally against President Donald Trump and his administration, when police arrested him.In video captured by Guevara, the Spanish-speaking journalist is seen wearing a helmet, red shirt and a vest that read "PRESS." Guevara captured video clips of riot police moving in formation, while he also described the scene in Spanish.Then, police can be seen on the video approaching Guevara, when he said, "Officer. Officer. Im a member of the media, officer."Guevaras phone then goes blurry until he asks the officer to pick up his phone because he needs it for work.DeKalb police charged Guevara with obstruction of police, unlawful assembly and being a pedestrian on the roadway.RETURNED ILLEGAL ABREGO GARCIA PLEADS NOT GUILTY; JUDGE YET TO RULE ON PRETRIAL CUSTODYCounty Solicitor-General Donna Coleman-Stribling dismissed the charges last week, noting that there was not enough evidence to support a prosecution, though there was probable cause to support Guevaras arrest."At the time of his arrest, the video evidence shows Mr. Guevara generally in compliance and does not demonstrate the intent to disregard law enforcement directives," Coleman-Striblings office said in a press release.At that point, though, Guevara was already in ICE custody.Guevara had warrants issued for his arrest in connection with charges of distracted driving, failing to obey a traffic control device and reckless driving, which were secured by the Gwinnett County Sheriffs Office on June 20.FEDERAL JUDGE DELIVERS ONE-TWO PUNCH TO TRUMP IN ABREGO GARCIA CASEThe charges stemmed from a May 20 incident that was reported on June 17, the AP reported.Guevaras attorney, Giovanni Diaz, has said his client is not a legal resident though he has authorization to work in the U.S. Guevara also has a pending green card application, which was sponsored by his U.S. citizen son, the AP reported.The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said on its site that it welcomed the courts order to release Guevara, adding that the organization is concerned by the prosecutions argument that livestreaming the protest "presented a danger to the public by compromising the integrity and safety of law enforcement activities.""We are heartened to see that Mario Guevara was ordered to be released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody at his bond hearing, though we remain concerned about the arguments the prosecution made that Guevaras work as a reporter presented a danger to the community," CPJ U.S., Canada, and Caribbean Program Coordinator Katherine Jacobsen said. "The fact that Guevara was arrested while exercising his First Amendment rights as a journalist and was subsequently held for over two weeks by various law enforcement bodies sends an alarming message to the media and has effectively silenced Guevaras coverage of his community. We urge law enforcement to thoroughly investigate why Guevara was arrested in the first place."The Associated Press contributed to this report.
