She discussed how her team plans to turn podcasts into TV shows, and how "Scamanda" could be a doc. The show was produced by Lionsgate Sound, the Hollywood giant's new audio division that launched last year. Lionsgate is one of several television companies to start its own audio arm — like Netflix and HBO, which produce audio companions to their TV shows. Pilgrim is a Lionsgate-owned production company that specializes in unscripted TV, and also a minority owner in Lionsgate Sound. Conversely, the podcast division can also leverage the success of existing TV shows and programs by producing companion audio works for them.

FRANKFURT, April 26 (Reuters) - Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE) is undertaking its biggest management shake-up since 2019, the German bank said on Wednesday as it announced the departure of Christiana Riley, who oversaw its U.S. operations. "It is time to focus the management board on the next phase of the bank's growth strategy, which is now more than ever about sustainable profitability, efficiency and effective controls," Wynaendts said. Riley was one of two women on Deutsche's 10-member board, which will now only consist of only nine people - eight men and one woman - in what Deutsche said would be a "leaner" team. Claudio de Sanctis, a Deutsche veteran who has overseen wealth management, will join the board to oversee the retail bank, Deutsche said. And Chief Financial Officer James von Moltke will take on oversight of asset management, which includes its DWS fund management business.

WASHINGTON — A former Capitol Police officer who warned a Jan. 6 defendant about a post that said he was inside the Capitol building was found guilty on one count of felony obstruction of justice by a jury on Friday. Michael Riley was indicted in October 2021 on two counts of obstruction of justice and resigned from the Capitol Police force shortly thereafter. The jury had been deliberating since Tuesday afternoon, by far the lengthiest deliberations of any Jan. 6-related jury trial. “I never intended for any of this to happen.”Jacob Hiles, circled in red, at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. “He was thinking, how do I get this rioter, my Facebook friend, from being caught up in this grand jury investigation," Dohrmann argued.

A jury found former Capitol police officer Michael Riley guilty Friday of obstructing the investigation into the January 6, 2021, attack. The jury could not reach a unanimous verdict on the charge related to his urging the rioter to remove posts. During the weeklong trial, prosecutors presented multiple messages Riley exchanged with Hiles beginning on January 7. In the first message, Riley introduced himself as a Capitol police officer and warned Hiles to delete social media posts placing him inside the Capitol on January 6. "Hey Jake, im a capitol police officer who agrees with your political stance," Riley wrote to Hiles.

Riley testified that he regrets reaching out to Hiles “every day” and that this has been “the worst year" of his life. Riley was charged in October 2021, and resigned from the department that month, although the details of his departure and current status have been concealed from jurors. Riley, who fishes in his free time, befriended Hiles, a boat captain with a social media following, shortly before the Capitol attack. “I was mad at myself and I was mad at Jake,” Riley testified. Assistant U.S. Attorney Anne P. McNamara asked Riley if he had wanted Hiles charged.

WASHINGTON — An ex-police officer "betrayed" his sworn oath by warning a fellow Donald Trump supporter who entered the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 to remove his Facebook content about the attack, a federal prosecutor told a jury Tuesday. Afterward, Riley told Hiles he would give him a tour of the Capitol next time. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary Dohrmann told jurors Tuesday that "there was nothing legal or funny about what happened at the Capitol on Jan. "He was duped" by Hiles, Macchiaroli said. "He made a mistake, he had a lapse in judgment," Macchiaroli added, arguing that Riley didn't intend to obstruct a federal grand jury.

Prosecutors accused a former Capitol police officer of telling a January 6 rioter to delete evidence. But the following day, prosecutors say, Riley messaged Hiles directly over Facebook to urge him to remove posts — including selfies and videos — admitting his presence inside the Capitol. Kicking off Riley's trial on Tuesday, Dohrmann displayed several messages Riley exchanged with Hiles over Facebook in the weeks after January 6. "You see, the defendant never wanted these Facebook messages to see the light of day," she said. Despite Riley's encouragement to delete his Facebook messages, Hiles never removed them, allowing them to be used as evidence against the former Capitol police officer, Dohrmann said.

☆ Investors shouldn't wait for the Fed to rescue the market this time

"There may well be someplace where the Fed says they've turned the screws too hard. But, it's going to have to be something more exogenous," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B Riley Wealth Management. "If in fact there is a Fed put, it's certainly got a strike price that's much lower than where we are now." The Fed has had only limited success in slowing price increases, and a resilient labor market is pointing to continued inflation pressures. The result has been a Fed tightening policy more aggressively than it has done in at least 30 years, posing threats to economic and financial stability.

Investors have looked to health care as a port in the storm during the stock market's volatility over the last year. In health care, "you still have companies that are throwing off good yield, so you get stability and good dividend yields." Biotech and pharmaceuticals industries have an average dividend yield of 2.6%, ranking just behind the consumer staples, utilities, and energy sectors. Just two stocks made the grade: drug maker AbbVie and pharmacy and health services giant CVS Health. The company, which includes pharmacy benefits as well the Aetna health insurance division, has a dividend yield of 2.1%.
