 Former ESPN anchor Sage Steele apologized to her kids before suing network Sage Steele, former ESPN anchor turned conservative commentator, recently revealed the candid conversation she had with her children before filing a lawsuit against the network.  Steele, who shares three adult children with ex-husband Jonathan Bailey, explained that she warned them about the backlash they might face, urging them not to defend her but to stand firm in the importance of “diversity of thought.”  Her son encouraged her, telling her it was “about time” she stood up for herself.

 Libya PM warns country could become a 'battlefield'


Libyan Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah expressed concerns on Thursday that the North African country could become a "battlefield", following reports of Russian weapon transfers from Syria after Bashar al-Assad's fall, AFP reported.


"We have concerns about moving international conflicts to Libya, and that it will become a battlefield between countries," Dbeibah said during a news conference.


Oil-rich Libya has struggled to recover from years of conflict since the 2011 NATO-backed uprising that ended Muammar Gaddafi's four-decade rule.


It remains divided between the UN-recognised government in Tripoli and a rival administration in the east, backed by military leader Khalifa Haftar.


Imposing 'hegemony'


In recent days reported indicated Russian forces were transferring military equipment from Syria's Tartus naval base and Hmeimim air base to eastern Libya, where the rival administration has received Russian support for years.


"No one with an ounce of patriotism wants a foreign power to come and impose its hegemony and authority over the country and the people," Dbeibah said.


Such a presence, he added, could only be tolerated "within the framework of agreements between countries for training, instruction or equipment, but for forces to enter by force and against the will of the Libyan people, we totally reject it."


While Dbeibah did not confirm the weapon transfers, Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto has said that "Moscow is transferring resources from its Syrian base in Tartus to Libya."


'Not a good thing'


"It's not a good thing," Crosetto told La Repubblica on Wednesday.


"Russian ships and submarines in the Mediterranean are always a source of concern, especially if they are just a few steps away from us rather than a 1,000 kilometres away."


Russia's Tartus naval base and Hmeimim air base have been key to the Kremlin's activities in Africa and the Middle East.


But with the fall of Assad this month, their fate became unclear.


Haftar's relations with Russia


Haftar, with the support of Russia, launched in 2019 an unsuccessful offensive to seize Tripoli.


Since then, Moscow has maintained close relations with the eastern administration.
