Fox News Digital spoke to Guy Fieri on Sunday at his event — Guy Flavortown Tailgate – ahead of the Super Bowl. 

“Before I started coming to the Super Bowl I was always the guy that threw the big party at the house and always had the best food. And now getting a chance to come here and put on the Flavortown Tailgate, it takes it to the next level,” he said.

“Not everybody gets to go to the Super Bowl, so we’re trying to create an experience here so everybody can feel that energy and feel the enthusiasm that goes on, and as you can see with all the great sponsors and all the great support — we got 15,000 fans showing up. 3,000… 3,500 veterans and first responders to get their tickets first,” Fieri added.

“This is it, man. This is celebrating… I think the greatest game in the world… the pinnacle of sports, so it’s going to be a good time,” Fieri said.

GUY FIERI CHAMPIONS VETERANS AND MILITARY WHO “KEEP THIS COUNTRY FREE” IN EXCHANGE WITH KEVIN COSTNER

At the Saturday night Fanatics bash, Fox News Digital caught up with Jamie Foxx, who said he was looking forward to Bad Bunny.

The actor explained that he saw the artist in concert two years ago: “Man, when I saw Bad Bunny at concert, I said, ‘Oh my gosh.’ I ain’t speak no Spanish. But I had a ball, I was like, ‘Oh yeah.’”

At the Fanatics party on Friday, Fieri was interrupted by actor Kevin Costner during an interview with Fox News Digital, and the two bonded about their shared passion for giving back to veterans and first responders.

“I heard you do this amazing program down in Santa Barbara for veterans and first responders, and I’ve heard a bunch of my buddies talk about that you and I are supposed to collaborate,” Fieri told Costner.

He went on to call Costner “the real deal” for what he does for veterans and first responders, adding that he “want[s] to help out because we gotta celebrate all the people that keep this country free.”

Fieri said the motto for the Guy Fieri Foundation is “serving those who serve us.”

“So we go around, when there’s a disaster, all we do is feed first responders,” he said. “And then, when we don’t have disasters, we just go around the country and just recognize all the first responders and veterans. Go to veterans’ homes, go to military bases, and so forth. So I’ve heard about your program that you do down in Santa Barbara. I would love to do it.”

Kendall Jenner attended the pre-Super Bowl bash, as well as Tom Brady, Alix Earle, Jon Bon Jovi, Machine Gun Kelly, Sofia Vergara and more.

On what she is looking forward to most for Super Bowl weekend, Alix Earle told Fox News Digital while at the Madden Bowl Party on Friday: “Bad Bunny. I’m so excited to see Bad Bunny. I’m freaking out.”

Justin Bieber and wife Hailey Bieber attended the SI The Party Presented by Draft Kings on Saturday.

Other celebrities in attendance include Travis Scott, Kevin Hart, Travis and Jason Kelce, Kane Brown, Madelyn Cline, Alix Earle and more.

Zac Efron was spotted attending the Raising Cane’s pre-Super Bowl LX party with America’s Got Talent alum Angelina Green.

Earle and Brady were seen together at a private pre-Super Bowl party, according to TMZ — after they were first seen together during New Year’s Eve.

Molly Sims chatted with Fox News Digital about her time as a Sports Illustrated model while attending the SI Swimsuit’s “Under the Swimfluence” special with SiriusXM on Friday.

On her most memorable SI moments: “Falling off a horse, being in a river so cold I couldn’t move, modeling in a wheel barrel, Argentina my room almost burning down because a log fell out of my fireplace. Wearing a $100 million bikini that I wanted it to be $150 million to cover more… probably, yeah,” she said with a smile.

Linus Torvalds confirms next Linux will be version 7.0 • The Register

0

Penguin emperor Linus Torvalds has announced the next version of the Linux kernel will be version 7.0, a matter of some small interest, because it continues his convention of not using version numbers he can’t count on his fingers and toes, and perhaps cements a numbering convention that sees kernel series end with version 19.

Linux kernel version numbering became more predictable with the 3.x series, which saw the release of 19 kernels before ticking over to 4.0.

Torvalds had some fun along the way, dubbing version 3.11 Linux for Workgroups, a reference to the name Microsoft gave Windows 3.11. He later pondered using version 4.0 as a special release dedicated to cleaning up bugs.

He then released 20 versions of the 4.x kernel series, and chat on the Linux kernel mailing list then included mention of version 4.21, before Torvalds decided to rename the next release version 5.0 because “I ran out of fingers and toes to count on.” He’s also often said that version numbers are essentially meaningless. An x.0 release is no more significant than any other, and usually less important than whichever release kernel maintainers decide will receive long-term support.

The 5.x series ended after 19 releases, and now the 6.x series will do the same as Torvalds on Sunday announced the next release will be version 7.0, again because “I’m getting to the point where I’m being confused by large numbers (almost running out of fingers and toes again).”

Torvalds’ post also references “some random sporting event” that he says will bring the USA “to a complete standstill later today watching the latest batch of televised commercials.”

“The betting man would expect them all to be AI-generated, but maybe some enterprising company decides to buck the trend? Doubtful, but there’s always a slight chance,” he wrote, in what The Register assumes is a reference to the Superbowl.

Torvalds appears not to be a fan, and urges those outside the USA to take version 6.19 of the kernel for a spin.

Per the kernel-watchers at Phoronix, the new release includes a Live Update Orchestrator that allows kernel upgrades without disrupting virtual machines, and adds encrypted comms between PCIe devices and VMs.

As usual, the release includes many additions that improve access to features in recent Intel and AMD silicon, plus improved support for emerging RISC-V and Chinese processors, plus tweaks to filesystems.

Among the many networking changes, one that removes a busy lock means some data transfers could mean queues clear more quickly and data flows up to four times faster than is currently possible under some circumstances.

Jimmy Lai sentencing: Hong Kong court to rule on pro-democracy media mogul after conviction – live updates | Jimmy Lai

0

Progressing from child labourer to billionaire, Jimmy Lai used his power and wealth to promote democracy, which ultimately pitted him against authorities in Beijing.

The Guardian’s Helen Davidson and Amy Hawkins chronicle Lai’s raise and fall:

Lai’s trial was one of the last unfinished national security prosecutions of Hong Kong’s high profile activists, over their involvement in the 2019 protests. Hundreds of activists, lawyers, and politicians have been pursued and jailed, or chased into exile. But few have captured global attention like Lai, whose life and career has developed in tangent with Hong Kong’s sputtering walk towards democracy, and then its fall.

“The trajectory of his life reflects the history of Hong Kong itself,” said Kevin Yam, a Australian-Hong Kong lawyer, who is subject to a Hong Kong arrest warrant for his pro-democracy activism.

Democratic Socialists of America accused of ‘malign foreign influence’ in new report

0

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Late last month, after the killing of local Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti by federal agents working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, MS NOW interviewed a protester identified as “Andrew” who said he flew in from Colorado to help drive the feds out of the city.

Hours later, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) framed the killing as a “murder,” identified “Andrew” as “DSA National Political Committee member Andrew, @andrewized who “joined community members in Minneapolis today, to protest the murder of Alex Pretti. ‘We are going to beat the Trump administration.’”

Soon after, in a rhetorical stab at law enforcement officials, the local chapter organized a training on personal protective equipment to use against what “the pigs are using.”

A week later, media outlets reported that “demonstrators” were protesting at a Target store in the Dinkytown neighborhood of Minneapolis, demanding the company stop supporting the alleged “campaign of terror that ICE is waging” against area residents and workers.

In an anti-Trump march, Democratic Socialists of America members carried signs against "fascism."

On Inauguration Day on Jan. 20, 2025, Democratic Socialists of America members marched in Washington, D.C., carrying signs that said, “SOCIALISM BEATS FASCISM,” equating the incoming Trump administration to “fascism.” A new report says that language parrots the rhetoric of foreign adversaries. (Asra Q. Nomani/Fox News Digital)

Soon enough, the official Instagram account of the local DSA chapter published a post, boasting about how its members “hosted an ICE Out of MN action that shut down the Target in Dinkytown!” On camera, Minneapolis City Council member Robin Wonsley proudly described herself as “minority leader of the Democratic Socialists caucus” and said openly she was “joining tons of socialists” to blast Target and ICE.

In Boston, as agitators compared ICE to Hitler’s Gestapo, a demonstrator wearing a Democratic Socialists of America hat carried a sign depicting an eagle similar to the logo of the Nazis, only with “ICE” written on it.

Then, this weekend, as students skipped school in the Los Angeles Unified School District, the Los Angeles DSA chapter lauded how its adult members “stood in solidarity with” the students to “demand an end to ICE raids.”

The messaging campaign against U.S. federal authorities isn’t coincidental, according to a scathing new report by the Network Contagion Research Institute, a research nonprofit based in Princeton, N.J. The report found the DSA’s rhetoric matches the anti-U.S. propaganda of foreign adversaries. The finding is important as the organization amasses more political power in the U.S., with wins like longtime member Zohran Mamdani’s election as mayor of New York City.

“The same rhetoric used to attack America abroad gets recycled at home to attack American law enforcement. Different stage, same script,” said Adam Sohn, co-founder of the Network Contagion Research Institute, which has a staff of neuroscientists, computer engineers, data analysts, psychologists and open-source analysts doing deep analysis on “malicious narratives,” threats and malign foreign influence. 

“The language doesn’t stop overseas,” Sohn said.

Sohn is scheduled to testify Tuesday at a 10 a.m. hearing before the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, titled, “Foreign Influence in American Non-profits: Unmasking Threats from Beijing and Beyond.” The hearing will be broadcast online at the committee’s website. Democratic Socialists of America didn’t respond to a request for comment.

ANTI-ICE ‘DIGITAL MINUTEMEN’ USE MILITARY-GRADE SURVEILLANCE TACTICS AGAINST FEDS

The hearing is expected to examine a network of nonprofits, including organizations funded by Neville Roy Singham, an American-born tech tycoon and self-styled Marxist-Leninist, living in Shanghai. Singham has funded nonprofit groups, including the People’s Forum, CodePink, BreakThrough BT Media, the ANSWER Coalition and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which have worked closely with Democratic Socialists of America in dispatching socialist, Marxist-Leninist and communist foot soldiers into the streets to disrupt federal immigration law enforcement agents and stoke chaos.

According to the Network Contagion Research Institute’s new report, “Democratic Socialists of America: Policy, Advocacy and Narrative Convergence with Hostile Foreign States,” the organization has been engaging in a dynamic called “narrative convergence,” advancing narratives that stoke domestic unrest and delegitimize state institutions while advancing talking points aligned with “hostile foreign governments.”

One of the messages it regularly puts on posters equates the Trump administration to “fascism,” declaring, “Socialism Beats Fascism.”

WATCH: HARDCORE SOCIALIST GROUPS STAGE-MANAGE ANTI-ICE PROTEST IN WASHINGTON

For example, this network coordinated last month to demand a “National Shutdown,” with a “General Strike,” a typical communist tactic to force a state into economic failure. DSA is also actively engaged in the network that is training “rapid responders” and “observers” to trail, monitor and document law enforcement movements in at least 13 databases that military and intelligence experts call a serious national security threat.

In the report, the institute concludes that DSA “exhibits multiple indicators” that warrant registration under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. It currently receives benefits registered as a nonprofit under Section 501(c)(4) of the tax code. 

The report cites “repeated foreign-facilitated engagements, receipt of apparent in-kind benefits, and subsequent U.S. political advocacy aligned with the interests of the Venezuelan, Cuban and Chinese governments.”

The researchers say DSA applies “the same anti-legitimacy frame to domestic enforcement and to U.S. foreign-policy posture.”

The demonstrations, the report finds, “explicitly link domestic immigration enforcement to broader U.S. foreign policy actions.”

‘WHITE SAVIORS” USE OF WHISTLES CAUSES BITTER INTERNAL RIFT INSIDE ANTI-ICE MOVEMENT

The institute documents that chapters organized rallies using slogans such as “No ICE, No War,” “ICE Out for Good” and “Hands Off Venezuela,” framing ICE as “an instrument of domestic state terror that mirrors U.S. imperialism abroad.” 

It’s also trained its members to also blow whistles as “rapid responders,” tracking law enforcement officers.

Over the past year, activists affiliated with DSA and groups including the Singham network portrayed ICE raids as “extensions of the same hegemonic project that bombs foreign nations for resource control, while domestic enforcement terrorizes vulnerable communities.”

According to the Network Contagion Research Institute, this rhetoric reflects a consistent ideological structure. 

Its analysis found that DSA “employs a consistent anti-legitimacy and moralized resistance framing toward state enforcement across both foreign and domestic contexts,” using “the same narrative structures to defend sanctioned foreign regimes abroad and to delegitimize U.S. enforcement institutions at home.”

The report connects the domestic messaging to the organization’s extensive foreign engagement. It documents six delegations sent by DSA to Venezuela, Cuba and China since 2021, involving official invitations, government-linked hosts, luxury accommodations, transportation and meetings with senior regime officials, including Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel. 

The report said that after the trips, the DSA engaged in “coordinated, time-locked advocacy and messaging that directly advanced foreign regime priorities, including anti-sanctions campaigns and electoral defenses.”

After a trip to China, the report documented, the Democratic Socialists of America’s “International Committee” hosted an event in late 2021, headlined, “NO COLD WAR: OPPOSING…US ESCALATION ON CHINA.” After a trip to Cuba, the report noted, the organization hosted an event to stop the U.S. economic blockade on Cuba, titled, “How to break the Blockade.”

After the U.S. extradited Maduro to the U.S. in early June, DSA joined other groups in the socialist network with protests against the “kidnapping.”

SENATOR CALLS OUT ‘GRASSROOTS’ ANTI-ICE GROUPS, URGES DOJ INVESTIGATION INTO ‘COORDINATED NATIONAL OPERATION’

Over months of reporting, Fox News Digital has documented how far-left socialist, Marxist and communist networks, aligned with foreign interests, have funded, organized and stage-managed street protests, using carefully coordinated messaging, social media amplification and nonprofit funding streams to allegedly launder ideological narratives into mainstream media coverage as if they are “grassroots” and “organic.”

The DSA and allied groups, including the People’s Forum and other groups in the Singham network, have acted as logistical chiefs, field marshals, amplifiers and message disciplinarians, busing members to protests, creating digital tool kits and mass-producing pre-printed signs they hand out to demonstrators, shaping protest narratives for the cause célèbre of the day, according to reporting.

From Israel to Tesla, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), ICE, police, Venezuela or other headlines, researchers say these street protests and propaganda cast the U.S. as “terrorists,” “genocide” enablers, the “Gestapo,” “Nazi” and other smears that echo language used by anti-U.S. authoritarian regimes abroad to delegitimize the U.S. as “imperialist” “colonizers” that must be dismantled through a “resistance.”

To assess whether this overlap was incidental, analysts at the Network Contagion Research Institute conducted a large-scale analysis of DSA communications using classifications based on “large language model.” 

The institute coded domestic anti-ICE activism and foreign-policy advocacy to assess “blame attribution,” “legitimacy framing” and policy prescriptions, finding a “consistent pattern of blame convergence on U.S. institutions across all contexts.” 

It described it as evidence of a “shared narrative structure rather than issue-specific framing.”

In its assessment, that convergence carries broader implications. 

WHEN ANTI-ICE CLASHES TRIGGER FEDERAL INTERVENTION — EXPERTS EXPLAIN THE CONSTITUTIONAL BREAKING POINT

The report concludes that “the anti-ICE movement, much of it under DSA direction, serves as a domestic front in a global conflict between states,” and that the organization promotes a narrative vision that “absolutely converges with the interests of Venezuela, Cuba and China.”

The Network Contagion Research Institute emphasized that its findings don’t allege criminal wrongdoing but state that the pattern of conduct, narrative alignment and foreign engagement “warrants further scrutiny,” particularly as protests continue, and congressional investigators investigate a phenomenon known as “malign foreign influence” operating inside the United States.

The Tuesday hearing will feature testimony from multiple experts focused on malign foreign influence and nonprofit transparency. 

With a majority of the seats in the House of Representatives, Republican lawmakers have five witnesses: Sohn; Scott Walter, president of Capital Research Center; Caitlin Sutherland, executive director of Americans for Public Trust; and Bruce Dubinsky, founder of Dubinsky Consulting. Robert Weissman, co-president of Public Citizen, is scheduled to speak as a witness on behalf of Democratic lawmakers.

Illustrating its synchronicity with foreign adversaries questioning the legitimacy of the U.S. government, the DSA’s local chapter in Minneapolis bragged in a new Facebook post on Sunday that “ICE’s legitimacy is dwindling” but cautioned “their terror continues.”

It’s promoting a digital toolkit among members with pre-scripted messages, signs and “community letter” for another anti-ICE action on Feb. 11 against the “violent federal immigration enforcement surge” that has been “destabilizing communities, and is violating our freedom across the country.” 

The DSA’s target: more Target stores.

    Christchurch gunman seeks to appeal convictions and withdraw guilty plea | New Zealand

    0

    The Australian white supremacist who murdered 51 Muslim worshippers at two mosques in Christchurch in 2019, in the worst mass shooting in the New Zealand’s history, is asking one of the country’s highest courts to vacate his guilty pleas and hold a new trial.

    Brenton Tarrant pleaded guilty in March 2020 to 51 counts of murder, 40 counts of attempted murder and a terrorism charge, after initially saying he would defend the charges. In August 2020, Tarrant became the first person in New Zealand under current laws to be sentenced to life in prison without the chance of ever walking free.

    But in 2022 he filed an appeal at the court of appeal for both his convictions and his sentence. The court will consider whether the appeal can proceed because it was filed outside the legislated time frame to do so.

    The 35-year-old is expected to give evidence via video link during the week-long hearing in Wellington, which begins on 9 February.

    According to court documents, the court will be primarily considering the application to vacate the guilty pleas.

    “The central issue before the Court will be whether at the time Mr Tarrant entered his guilty pleas he was incapable of making rational decisions as a result of the conditions of his imprisonment, which he says were torturous and inhumane,” it said.

    If the court grants the application to vacate the pleas, the case will be sent back to the high court for the terrorist to stand trial. If it declines the application then a further hearing will consider the sentence appeal later this year.

    Security has been ramped up at the court, with only media, counsel and authorised people permitted to attend the hearing inside the courtroom. Limited space for the public has been made in an adjoining room, while provision has been made for victims and family members to view the hearing in Christchurch via a delayed broadcast. Tarrant’s legal counsel have been granted permanent name suppression.

    Aya Al-Umari, whose brother Hussein al-Umari was murdered at Masjid al-Noor, told The Post the hearing made her uncomfortable and listening to Tarrant give evidence for the first time would be difficult.

    “For the sake of my sanity … I have to think of them as just words with absolutely no meaning behind them,” she said. “But at the same time it is reopening a wound that you try so hard to close and try and move forward with life.”

    Tarrant moved to New Zealand in 2017 planning to carrying out a white supremacist attack. He planned the mass shooting for months, conducted reconnaissance at the mosques, distributed a manifesto expressing his racist views before he opened fire, and live-streamed part of the assault on Facebook.

    In the wake of the attacks, the former Jacinda Ardern-led government banned military-style semi-automatic rifles and created a firearms registry.

    An inquiry into the attacks is the largest coronial investigation New Zealand has seen and is still under way. In October 2025, the high court left the door open for Tarrant to be called as a witness at the inquest, despite objections from survivors and families of the victims.

    Manipur Unrest: Violence erupts again in Ukhrul, Manipur; 21 houses burnt, administration trying to restore peace – Manipur Violence Ukhrul District Tensions Law And Order Manipur Houses Set On Fire Community Conflict

    0



    What is the matter?

    U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., Jeanine Pirro said the U.S. would never stop seeking justice for Americans killed by terrorists after the arrest of Zubayr Al-Bakoush, who is alleged to be one of the leaders of the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

    “The American cavalry never came, to our disappointment, in 2012,” Pirro said Sunday on “Fox & Friends Weekend.”

    “We’re coming for you now. We’ve got him. We’ve got a lot more coming,” she added.

    She slammed then-President Barack Obama for not bringing consequences for Al-Bakoush and the others responsible for the attack that left four Americans dead.

    “The president said we did everything we could. They didn’t do everything they could. Americans watched in horror as four Americans are being killed, not by peaceful protests that went awry,” she said.

    On Sept. 11, 2012, a terror attack on the U.S. Special Mission in Benghazi, Libya, left four dead. A group of assailants armed with AK-47 rifles, grenades and other weapons, stormed the compound and began shooting, setting fires and breaking into buildings.

    Pirro claimed that the Obama administration at the time knew immediately that the attack was a coordinated assault and not a protest that spiraled out of control, as was widely reported at the time of the event.

    She questioned why more was not done to protect the Americans on the ground, like flying F-16s overhead to disperse the crowd or sending a rapid response team that she claimed could have arrived in a few hours.

    “Benghazi was the most dangerous place on earth for Americans, and they put them there without protection. And they lied to us on the Sunday morning talk shows. They lied to us in Congress… It was only through President Trump that we’re now going to get some kind of justice,” Piroo said. 

    Attorney General Pam Bondi said Al-Bakoush was charged with murder, terror and arson, all related to the 2012 attack.

    Landslide win for centre-left candidate António José Seguro in Portugal’s presidential runoff | Portugal

    0

    Moderate socialist António José Seguro secured a landslide victory and a five-year term as Portugal’s president in a runoff vote on Sunday, beating his far-right, anti-establishment rival André Ventura, exit polls and partial results showed.

    A succession of storms in recent days failed to deter voters, with turnout at about the same level as in the first round on 18 January, even though three municipal councils in southern and central Portugal had to postpone voting by a week due to floods.

    “The response the Portuguese people gave today, their commitment to freedom, democracy, and the future of our country, leaves me naturally moved and proud of our nation,” Seguro, 63, told reporters.

    The postponement affected about 37,000 registered voters, or about 0.3% of the total, and is unlikely to influence the overall result. With nearly 70% of votes counted, Seguro garnered 64%. Ventura trailed behind at 36%, still likely to secure a much stronger result than the 22.8% his anti-immigration Chega party achieved in last year’s general election. Ballots in large cities such as Lisbon and Porto are counted towards the end.

    Two exit polls placed Seguro in the 67%-73% range and Ventura at 27%-33%.

    Last year, Chega became the second-largest parliamentary force, overtaking the Socialists and landing behind the centre-right ruling alliance, which garnered 31.2%.

    Despite his loss on Sunday, 43-year-old Ventura, a charismatic former TV sports commentator, can now boast increased support, reflecting the growing influence of the far right in Portugal and much of Europe.

    “The entire political system, across both right and left, united against me,” Ventura told reporters as he left a Catholic mass in central Lisbon. “Even so … I believe the leadership of the right has been defined and secured today. I expect to lead that political space from this day forward.“

    Seguro has cast himself as the candidate of a “modern and moderate” left who can actively mediate to avert political crises and defend democratic values. He received backing from prominent conservatives after the first round amid concerns over what many see as Ventura’s populist, authoritarian tendencies.

    Portugal’s presidency is a largely ceremonial role but holds some important powers, including the ability to dissolve parliament under certain circumstances. Ventura had said he would be a more “interventionist” president, advocating increased powers for the head of state.

    Seguro has positioned himself as a moderate candidate who will cooperate with Portugal’s centre-right minority government, repudiating Ventura’s anti-establishment and anti-immigrant tirades.

    The longstanding Socialist politician has won the support of other mainstream politicians on the left and right who want to halt the rising populist tide.

    In Portugal, the president is largely a figurehead with no executive power. Traditionally, the head of state stands above the political fray, mediating disputes and defusing tensions.

    However, the president is an influential voice and has some powerful tools at their disposal, being able to veto legislation from parliament, although the veto can be overturned. The head of state also possesses what in Portuguese political jargon is called an “atomic bomb”, the power to dissolve parliament and call early elections.

    In May, Portugal held its third general election in three years in the country’s worst bout of political instability for decades, and steadying the ship is a key challenge for the next president.

    Ventura, an eloquent and theatrical politician, has rejected political accommodation in favour of a more combative stance. One of his main targets has been what he calls excessive immigration, as foreign workers have become more conspicuous in Portugal in recent years. “Portugal is ours,” he said.

    During the campaign, Ventura put up billboards across the country that said: “This isn’t Bangladesh” and “Immigrants shouldn’t be allowed to live on welfare.”

    Although he founded Chega less than seven years ago, its rise in public support made it the second-largest party in Portugal’s parliament in the 18 May general election.

    In March, the winner will replace the centre-right president, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, who has served the limit of two five-year terms.
