Austrian to plead guilty to plotting terror attack on Taylor Swift concert

Swifties try to make best of canceled Vienna shows 04:15

CBS News CBS News

The trial of a man accused of pledging allegiance toISISand plotting to attack one of superstar singerTaylor Swift's concertsin Vienna nearly two years ago has begun in Austria.

The plot was thwarted, but Austrian authorities stillcanceled Swift's three performances in August 2024. The singer's fans, known as Swifties, who had flown to Austria from across the globe to attend a performance in her record-setting Eras Tour were devastated, but rallied to turn Vienna into a citywide trading post for friendship bracelets and singalongs.

The defendant, a 21-year-old Austrian citizen known only as Beran A., in line with Austrian privacy rules, faces charges including terrorist offenses and membership in a terrorist organization. He could be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison.

He is being tried alongside Arda K., whose full name also has not been made public. They, along with a third man, planned to carry out simultaneous attacks in Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates during Ramadan in 2024 in the name of ISIS. Beran A. and Arda K. never carried out their attacks.

Beran A.'s defense attorney, Anna Mair, told The Associated Press on Monday that her client plans to plead guilty to most of the charges but did not specify which ones. Only Beran A. is charged in connection with the Taylor Swift plot.

He allegedly planned to target onlookers gathered outside Ernst Happel Stadium – up to 30,000 each night, with another 65,000 inside the venue – with knives or homemade explosives. The suspect hoped to "kill as many people as possible," authorities said in 2024. The U.S. provided intelligence that led to the arrests.

"They were plotting to kill a huge number — tens of thousands of people at this concert, including, I am sure, many Americans — and were quite advanced in this," CIA Deputy Director David Cohen said a few weeks after the arrests. "The Austrians were able to make those arrests because the agency and our partners in the intelligence community provided them (with) information about what this ISIS-connected group was planning to do."

Beran A. also allegedly networked with other ISIS members ahead of the planned attack. Prosecutors say they discussed purchasing weapons and making bombs, and that the defendant also sought to illegally buy weapons in the days ahead of the performance. In addition, he swore allegiance to the militant group.

Authorities searched his apartment on Aug. 7, 2024 and found bomb-making materials. The concerts were scheduled to begin the next day.

Swift learned of the bomb plot while on a plane flying to Austria, according to her Eras Tour documentary.

"Having our Vienna shows cancelled was devastating," Swift wrote in a statement posted to Instagram two weeks later. "The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear, and a tremendous amount of guilt because so many people had planned on coming to those shows."

The trial is being held in Wiener Neustadt, about an hour south of Vienna. The proceedings are set to continue May 12.

Prosecutors have also filed terrorism-related charges against Arda K. in the trial in connection with the plan for simultaneous attacks in Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.

The third man in that plot, Hasan E., allegedly stabbed a security guard with a knife at the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, on March 11, 2024. He was arrested and remains in pretrial detention in Saudi Arabia, Austrian prosecutors said.

Beran A. and Arda K. did not carry out their alleged plans in Turkey and the UAE. Beran A. returned to Vienna and then allegedly began plotting to attack a Swift concert there.

The Vienna plot drew comparisons toa 2017 attack by a suicide bomberat an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, that killed 22 people. The bomb detonated at the end of Grande's concert as thousands of young fans were leaving, becoming the deadliest extremist attack in the United Kingdom in recent years.

The nearly 150-show Eras Tour, which began in March 2023 and ended in December 2024, covered five continents and sold more than 10 million tickets – making it the first tour in history to surpass $1billion in ticket sales.

Sarah Ferguson's Stay at Luxury Resort Is Not What It Looks Like — Source

After months of hiding following her controversy,Sarah Fergusonwas finally spotted at a luxury ski resort in Austria. While many were surprised to think of the former royal spending money at a luxury resort, a source hinted that it is not what it looks like. As per the tipster, the former Duchess of York is believed to be living out of staff quarters to keep a low profile amid scandal.

Sarah Ferguson believed to be living out of staff quarters at Austrian resort, per source

Sarah Ferguson wasspotted for the first time in seven monthsat an exclusive resort in Austria amid the ongoing controversy. The former Duchess of York has been photographed at a luxury ski village in Austria, wearing a blue coat and pants with hair tucked in. Her outfit choice reflected that it was “carefully chosen to help her avoid being recognised.”

While it was earlier believed that the firmer royal is living in a luxurious place, sources have now toldRadarOnlinethat it might not be the case. Ferguson is believed to be living out of staff quarters at the resort to keep a low profile. “From the outside, it looks like she is staying in one of the resort’s most exclusive chalets, but the reality is far more modest. There is a growing belief that she is actually based in staff accommodation,” revealed a source.

The tipster added, “Living in staff quarters would allow her to maintain a presence at the resort” since scrutiny around her circumstances is intensifying. Moreover, with this move, she is “disappearing from view at a moment when attention on her is at its highest.” Thus, staying somewhere discreet in a basic accommodation reportedly helps the former royal member “avoid the kind of visibility” that would come if she had chosen a “more conventional luxury stay.”

Ferguson’s stay in the Alps is understood to be part of a broader pattern of temporary arrangements. “There has been a deliberate effort to obscure where she is and how she is living, and only a very small group of people know the full details,” noted the source.

A growing amateur choir brings joy and community to hundreds in Serbia

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — An amateur pop choir that started with a couple dozen singers in a small Serbian town has found unexpected success across the country. Its motto? Anyone can sing.

Serbia Sing for Joy

While communitychoirsare common in other countries, they are relatively rare inSerbia. The no-stress and fun approach has attracted hundreds of people, mostly women of all ages.

Modeled after similar projects abroad, the choir is encouraging “everyone from 5 to 105” to join and sing for joy and stress relief.

Since starting out in a small town in central Serbia four years ago, Pop Hor has spread to 10 towns across the Balkan country with an ambition to grow further. There are no auditions or voice tests, and newcomers don’t have to know how to read music.

“People come as total amateurs, most of them say they have no clue about singing,” said Nenad Azanjac, who trained as a music teacher and who founded Pop Hor, or Pop Choir, with his wife.

Nevenka Bila, 72, said the choir has provided a much-needed positive contrast to the everyday reality of political tensions andpro-democracy protestsin thetroubled Balkan country.

“In this madness that we are living, where I spend half of my free time in the streets fighting for basic human rights, I found something that feels so good for me,” Bila said. “I discovered a new world.”

The group packs halls and venues across the country weekly to belt out popular tunes — mostly in Serbian, though sometimes they also sing songs by Croatian and Bosnian bands and singers. Though amateur, the choir often performs at festivals and events in Serbia and abroad.

“I never miss a class,” said Radmila Kozarac, a 62-year-old economist. The choir has changed her life for the better, she said, adding that she has made wonderful new friends and can’t wait for their after-class chat and coffee together.

The choir has had “a very positive effect on me, psychologically,” she said. "It is joyful, it reduces stress.”

Music is known for positive neurobiological and psychological effects, psychologist and Singidunum University professor Aleksandra Djuric said. In a group, she added, “we release the energy together, cortisol (levels) come down and positive hormones rise out of union and happiness.”

“I keep telling my students that we can’t be exposed on a daily basis to information, to be bombarded by information and follow everything all the time,” Djuric said. “We need to find a space to calm down, relax and connect.”

Serbia endured years of wars, international sanctions and economic crisis in the 1990s. The country remains politically divided and struggles economically. Youth-led protests against populistPresident Aleksandar Vucicerupted in 2024 over a train station tragedy blamed on widespread negligence and corruption in big state-run infrastructure projects.

Azanjac said many people have joined his choir after their therapists recommended singing as an anti-stress activity. They “find a sense of belonging here, they enjoy it,” he added, describing a ”feeling of togetherness."

“Singing comes second, socializing comes first," Azanjac said.

In total, some 2,000 people have sung with Pop Hor since it started in the town of Gornji Milanovac in 2022. Azanjac said he's not stopping there.

The plan is “to have the whole region sing," he said.

Charlize Theron scales billboard in New York's Times Square to promote Netflix movie “Apex”

Charlize Theron shocked New Yorkers on Friday when she scaled a massive billboard in the heart of Times Square.

Key Points

  • The stunt was to promote her new action flick, Apex, costarring Taron Egerton and streaming now on Netflix.

  • Theron trained with "badass" rock climber Beth Rodden and performed all her own stunts in the film.

Charlize Theronjust proved she performs her own stunts.

On Friday, the Oscar winner scaled a massive billboard atop Times Square's Pentacular to promoteApex, her new action flick streaming now onNetflix.

As curious New Yorkers watched from below on 7th Avenue, Theron – wearing a safety harness, of course – climbed a faux rock wall several stories high. At the summit, she waved to onlookers and danced as they cheered.

"That's actually her?" marveled a pedestrian in a video captured by New York digital creatorMickey Blank.

InApex, Theron stars as a rock climber who finds herself being hunted by a serial killer (Taron Egerton) while stranded in the Australian Outback.

For the action-packed film, she trained with rock climber Beth Rodden, who famously ascended Yosemite's difficult Meltdown surface.

"Hearing her story and her expertise, I thought, this is the most badass, best climber you could be with," Theron toldNetflix. "She's the OG."

But she wasn't so convinced of her own capabilities. "I'd never climbed before, except as a kid in Africa climbing trees, which I loved," said Theron. "And I weirdly climbed barefoot, so I was kind of prepping for this movie without knowing it."

Theron began training on a rock-climbing wall, and although strength and endurance are obviously a big part of it, so is instinct.

"I just remember on the first day I would ask her, 'So what should I do?'" recalled Theron. "I kept asking that a couple of times, and then it finally sank in to me. Her response was always, 'I don't know.'"

Along the way, the actress also channeled her character, Sasha, a widow who finds solace in climbing after the tragic death of her husband during one of their tandem excursions.

“NCIS” Star Mark Harmon Reflects on the Phone Call That Changed His Life

Mark Harmon recently reflected on his early career and how he initially worked in advertising before deciding to pursue acting

NEED TO KNOW

  • The now-74-year-old explained that a chance phone call helped open the door to his first real opportunity in Hollywood

  • Now, Harmon has become synonymous with NCIS after playing Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs for nearly two decades

Although now synonymous withNCIS,Mark Harmon's pathinto acting wasn't exactly straightforward.

During a recent appearance onThe Fifth Columnpodcast, the 74-year-old reflected on the unexpected turns thatled him into acting.

Before landing major roles, Harmon revealed he was working as a merchandising director, trying to build a stable career outside of Hollywood. That chapter of his life, however, never quite felt like the right fit.

“When the advertising stuff kind of stopped being… I just knew I had to get out of that and do something else, and I said that to my parents,” Harmon told hosts Kmele Foster, Michael Moynihan and Matt Welch.

“I had been in acting class, and I had been going and doing that, and I didn't know where to go from there. I didn't have an agent. I didn't know what to do," he continued.

As the son of actress Elyse Knox and football star-turned-broadcaster Tom Harmon, Mark grew up around both entertainment and sports. His first on-screen opportunity came in 1973 with a guest role onOzzie's Girls, a connection made possible through his sister Kristin and her husband, singer and actor Ricky Nelson, who were already part of the television world.

Still, breaking into the industry wasn't seamless. At one point, Mark found himself watchingDragnetwhen he saw the studio ident for Mark VII Limited.

Acting on impulse, he tracked down the company's number and called on a whim. On the other end was a secretary who could have easily dismissed the unknown caller — but didn't. That moment of chance led to a conversation with Jack Webb, the man behind the company.

“We talked for a couple minutes and [Webb] said, ‘Why don't you come in and talk to me?'” Mark recalled. “And I said ‘Okay,' and I went into Universal, and I went into Mark VII, which at that time... Universal was a big enchilada, man."

During their conversation, Mark noted that Webb "just kinda listened to me." Webb pointed to the actor's experience as a college quarterback as why he might make a good actor, noting that he "always pretended that [he] had the ball when [he] didn't," an element of "make believe" just like in acting.

That meeting ended up opening doors for Mark and led to a steady climb through film and television — including an early role playing Officer Gus Corbin in a 1975 episode ofAdam-12.

Mark later made guest appearances onPolice Womanin 1975 andLaverne & Shirleyin 1976. Around the same time, he transitioned into film, appearing in projects likeComes a HorsemanandBeyond the Poseidon Adventure.

Since then, he has appeared in projects likeSummer School,The Presidio,Crossfire TrailandFreaky Friday.

His most defining role arrived when he was cast as Leroy Jethro Gibbs onNCIS, a character that would anchor the series for nearly two decades. Mark ultimatelystepped away from the role in 2021after 18 seasons, but has since reprised his character in afew scenes forNCIS: Origins.

"As an executive producer and dear friend, Mark continues to be an integral part of the fabric of the show. Our north star has always been staying true to our characters, and that truth has always guided the stories we tell and where those characters go," Steven Binder, executive producer,told PEOPLEin a statement at the time of the actor's departure.

"So regarding the future of Gibbs, as long-time fans of the show may have noticed over the years…never count Leroy Jethro Gibbs out."

  • Cates took a break from acting to raise the couple's two kids, Owen and Greta

Together for nearly 40 years,Phoebe CatesandKevin Klineare one of Hollywood's most enduring couples.

Klinetold Business Insiderin October 2024 that he and his wife don't consider themselves to have a "Hollywood marriage" because they've lived on N.Y.C.'s Upper East Side, where Cates runs a store, for so long.

Their strength may have less to do with location than with their love for each other, with the Oscar winner telling the outlet that one of the main reasons their relationship is so strong is Cates' support for him.

"She's got her head on her shoulders, unlike me. I usually have my head on her shoulders, too. She's a great wife, a great mother, great person, and she keeps me honest," he said, before joking: "Except for in interviews."
