There was a dissenting judge who said that actually you needed an actual conflict of interest or actual impropriety rather than just removing to one because of the appearance of it.

I mean, it's not really clear. I mean, Fannie Willis could appeal this decision to the state Supreme Court. It's possible another prosecutor could take over the case. But if you talk to legal experts, they say any prosecution is unlikely to be brought until after Donald Trump leaves office. And this, interestingly, was the last outstanding sort of criminal case that Donald Trump faced.

If you remember, he was convicted in New York. of hush money payments. But two other criminal charges that he was facing were stopped by the federal government over a legal precedent that you couldn't prosecute a sitting president. And obviously, Donald Trump takes office January 20th.

His campaigner issued a statement saying people are calling for the end of what they called the political weaponization of the justice system. Donald Trump's been fairly outspoken about how he feels about the way these prosecutions have been handled.

So this is 42-year-old Robert Duffy and 32-year-old Jeremy Falkick, who were arrested by Boston police after Boston police detected what they called a device dangerously close to Boston airport. Effectively, they were then arrested on a nearby island. Boston's got a sort of bunch of islands that are just off its coast.

They were arrested on one of those and police found a drone in a backpack carried by Robert Duffy, one of those two men. They are due to appear in court on charges of trespassing, but police say they might face further charges because flying a drone in restricted airspace is an offence, and clearly that is extremely dangerous.

If it hits an aircraft, that can cause significant problems, or a helicopter, or equally just causing pilots to have to veer off course, that can cause problems in itself. So their activities, if they were indeed flying a drone near an airport, could be extremely serious. But I think it's unlikely that those are linked to the

The broader issue that we're talking about, about drones that have been spotted around the northeast of the United States.

Yeah, I mean, it's interesting. The FBI set up a tip line because there were so many calls coming into the emergency services about these things. You know, I was reading a briefing that was given by the FBI. They said they'd had 5,000 calls into their tip line, 5,000 leads that they received. Of those, less than 100, they said, have been actionable.

And someone said, you know, do you think panic has set in here? And the FBI person said, I think there's been a slight overreaction. You know, if you talk to the White House, they say they've no evidence that these drones pose any sort of national security or public safety threat. nor indeed their work of any sort of foreign malicious actor. Having said that, there is clearly something going on.
