Local 10’s Glenna Milberg takes a closer look at how we got here, and both sides of the Amendment 3 debate.

The Local 10 Special Report: “The Florida Property Tax Crisis” airs on Local 10 at 7 p.m. Sunday.

Jeffries also slapped back at President Donald Trump’s abrupt decision to waive sanctions on Russia and said there will be a bipartisan effort in the House to pursue a new sanctions package that the president would not have the ability to waive.

“It’s shocking, but not surprising, that an American president would do so much to undermine the cause of democracy, freedom and dignity for the Ukrainian people,” Jeffries told The Associated Press after visiting church services in Toledo.

Jeffries, who is in line to become House speaker if Democrats win back the majority, has traveled to some 50 cities campaigning for Democratic candidates. He said the House Republicans are “divorced from reality” in thinking — as Speaker Mike Johnson recently suggested — that the Nov. 3 election will be a repeat of the 2024 sweep that put Trump in the White House and Republicans in Congress.

“We are working hard across the county, continuing to make the case that we need dramatic change as opposed to the status quo,” Jeffries said, “and that Democrats are going to be the only ones to fight to make this country affordable.”

Ohio races are key to control of Congress

The Buckeye State is being fiercely contested in these midterm elections that will determine control of Congress. While much attention has been on the Senate race between Republican Sen. Jon Husted and Democrat Sherrod Brown, the House races are a district-by-district slog key to unlocking control of that chamber.

The Toldeo-area House seat has been a top priority. Kaptur, who has held office for decades, is the longest-serving woman in the House. But Trump has carried the district and Republicans are trying to flip it. Kaptur defeated GOP candidate Derek Merrin two years ago, but he is making a repeat play for the seat.

“We work very hard,” Kaptur told AP. “We don’t just work at elections. We work to make a difference in the lives of people.”

In August, Kaptur, 80, was heading to church when the vehicle she was riding in as a passenger was struck. She was hospitalized with injuries suffered in the car accident, but said she has since recovered.

Jeffries said Kaptur is a legendary figure in the Great Lakes Region. “Once again, she's going to defy all expectations,” he said.

Trump's waiver of Russia sanctions roils campaigns

The area has been home to a large Ukrainian American population, and Kaptur is founder and co-chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, a bipartisan group of lawmakers with particular focus on the country.

She had harsh words for Trump’s decision late Friday to waive provisions of the Russia sanctions bill named for Lindsey Graham, which Congress had passed to help Ukraine as it battles Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion.

“What he did is just un-American,” she said. “He has sided with Putin.”

Members of Congress, Democrats and Republicans, expressed outrage over the weekend at Trump’s decision to waive the sanctions, which were due to take effect Sunday. The president had just signed the bill into law last month.

Johnson said Sunday on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that a number of his colleagues have raised concerns. He said he had yet to talk about it with Trump, but said he knows the president is evaluating the situation.

“We need to talk about it and I think carefully consider the unintended consequences,” Johnson said.

Reddick's No. 45 Toyota overtook Chase Briscoe with 17 laps remaining and held on for the win. The 23XI driver had the hottest car in the sport early in the year, winning four of the season's first six races, but had a big lull over the summer.

Now he's moved within striking distance of the No. 1 spot in the Chase with three races remaining.

“This group never lost motivation, never lost the drive to keep searching and keep trying to find ways to make ourselves better, just be an all-around better team,” Reddick said. "Something about today ... I had a really good feeling.”

Larson is now just five points ahead of Christopher Bell in the Cup Series standings heading into Talladega next week. Briscoe is in third, 24 points back, while Denny Hamlin (31), Ryan Blaney (40), Joey Logano (44) and Reddick (56) are still in the hunt.

“It’s going to be a battle, that’s for sure,” Bell said. “We’re right there in it. Really proud of our team. They’ve been doing a really good job of bringing fast race cars, executing races. We’ve been able to qualify well and run up front in stages.”

Blaney — who had won two straight races in Phoenix — finished second on Sunday while Chase Elliott was third and Bell fourth. Briscoe finished eighth after back-to-back wins in Las Vegas and Charlotte and picked up more points in Phoenix.

Bubba Wallace led 52 laps in the second half of the race, but a pit road speeding penalty ended the 23XI driver’s chance at a win.

Larson's very bad day

Larson's No. 5 Chevrolet struggled all day and then smacked the wall late in the race after his right front tire went flat going into a turn. His day was over and he finished 34th.

Larson entered the day with a 49-point lead in the playoff standings over the second-place Hamlin, but had a disappointing qualifying effort on Saturday and started 22nd, well behind most of the other title contenders.

“I was just trying to salvage anything — in the top 20 would have been great,” Larson said. “It's a bummer, but it is what it is. It happens.”

He wasn't any better on Sunday — the Hendrick Motorsports star stayed in the middle to back of the pack most of the afternoon and fell a lap behind the field midway through the second stage. The flat tire made things even worse.

It was a surprising hiccup after a dominant six-race postseason run that included two wins, two second-place finishes and an average finish of 2.83.

Hamlin — who is still looking for his first Cup Series championship — couldn't take full advantage of Larson's tough day after a flat right rear tire while running fourth on lap 221. The No. 11 Toyota was also penalized for speeding on pit road as he struggled to control the car coming off the track. He finished 28th.

Logano wins both stages for 20 points

Logano won both the 60-lap first stage and 125-lap second stage, picking up the maximum possible 20 points.

He took four fresh tires during a yellow-flag stop late in the first stage before grabbing the lead from Hamlin, who took just two. Blaney led the first 46 laps but a slow pit stop dropped him back to eighth. He recovered to place fourth in the stage.

Logano — who has won four times in Phoenix — breezed to the second stage win, finishing well ahead of Briscoe and Bell.

Up next

The Cup Series heads to Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama next weekend for the eighth of 10 postseason races.

The Davie-Cooper City Branch Library is one of dozens of early voting locations across Broward County. Cones were in place and campaign signs lined the edge of the parking lot as early voting got underway.

Voters can cast their ballots daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Nov. 1.

During the August primary election, more than 61,000 people voted early in person in Broward County, according to the state. More than 58,000 voted early in Miami-Dade County and just over 4,000 in Monroe County.

Across Florida, more than 818,000 people cast their ballots in person before Election Day.

With the election approaching, candidates are using the final weeks of the campaign to reach undecided voters and turn out their supporters.

In the race for governor, Democratic nominee David Jolly stopped at a church in northwest Miami-Dade on Sunday morning. He also spoke with Glenna Milberg on This Week in South Florida Sunday morning.

Jolly described his political journey as one of building a bigger table.

“I was a lifelong Republican,” Jolly said. “I served in Congress, then I was an independent for six or seven years. I found my home in the Democratic Party, but I’m in a very post-partisan space, a post-ideological space.”

Republican gubernatorial nominee Byron Donalds said he is focused on talking directly with voters.

“We’ve now knocked 1.2 million doors in the general election to be Florida’s next governor,” Donalds said. He added that his campaign expects to reach around 1.5 million doors, or possibly more, by the general election.

Aries Wilson told Local 10 News’ Bridgette Matter that her 8-month-old toy poodle Blu was swiped from her North Miami home on Thursday.

She said Blu was in his fenced back yard for playtime and to use the bathroom when he escaped.

He crawled under a small space under the fence and was then seen on video in the front yard of the home located off Northwest 128th Terrace and Tenth Avenue.

Then the video showed a dark colored sedan pull up.

“My neighbor next door, I knocked on her door and asked her if she’d see Blu, and we eventually rewinded all the camera footage that we have and saw that someone lured him to them and basically took him,” said Wilson. “He basically honked and kept calling him over to I guess get him to get to the streets.”

Blu ran over to the car, and instead of knocking on the door to return him, the driver seen wearing a blue vest got out and then when he drove away, Blu was nowhere to be found.

“The dog barked at him, went around him and he then I guess said, ‘Hey, let me just get out of the car and grab him,’” said Wilson.

Blu had an AirTag in his collar that Wilson said was removed.

She said Blu is like a family member and hopes the person will find it in his heart to return him.

“Blu is my support dog, so I need him,” said Wilson

A $1,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to the dog being located.

“Just bring the dog back,” said Wilson. “No questions asked.”

She said that while she is waiting on a call from a detective, if the person who took Blu brings him back, she will not press charges.

Keila Maldonado, 21, was taken into custody for the crash that occurred around 1:30 a.m. Saturday near the 200 block of Sheridan Street in Dania Beach.

First responders arrived to find a man lying in the street. He was later pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators spent hours combing over the evidence, including pieces of what they said was Maldonado’s Hyundai Sonata.

From the parts at the scene, detectives were able to determine the make and model of the car, and who they believe was behind the wheel.

Maldonado is now facing charges of failure to remain at an accident scene causing death and tampering with evidence.

As of Sunday afternoon, she remained behind bars at the Broward Main Jail on a $51,000 bond.

No injuries were reported in the 11 a.m. mishap at Harry Reid International Airport, said airport spokesperson Monika Bertaki. She didn't say what caused the plane, a Dassault Falcon 50, to go off the runway.

Two runways were closed for inspection after the incident and the Federal Aviation Administration temporarily paused planned flights to the airport, causing delays.

As of August, the airport had over 370,000 operations and more than 34 million passengers so far in 2026.

Health Ministry Director-General Dr. Patrick Amoth said the eighth case involved a 49-year-old patient attendant who had attended to the first Ebola patient, who died at Nairobi Hospital two days after arriving in the country from Congo via Uganda.

Amoth said people in quarantine were being tested after developing symptoms. He added that the other six patients were stable after receiving supportive treatment.

Some 130 contacts, including health workers, were listed after the first patient died on Oct. 5, with 128 remaining in quarantine.

Ebola is highly contagious and spreads through direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person, including blood and vomit, or through contact with contaminated materials and surfaces, such as bedding and clothing. Congo has been experiencing its deadliest outbreak, with at least 4,000 deaths since May.

Kenya’s first case involved a 40-year-old Kenyan man who traveled from Congo through Uganda, arriving in Kenya on Oct. 3. A relative drove him to the hospital, and he died on Oct. 5.

Three of his close relatives are among those who have tested positive for the virus. Three health workers have also tested positive for Ebola.

Kenya’s neighbor, Tanzania, has tightened border screenings and introduced mandatory health declarations and 21-day monitoring for travelers arriving from high-risk countries.

Kenya’s first case exposed gaps in screening measures at border points. The country has since strengthened screening and established an emergency hotline for anyone who suspects they may have been in contact with an Ebola patient or develops symptoms.

The country has designated a gate at Nairobi’s main airport for all flights arriving from 10 countries identified as being at the center of the Ebola outbreak.

The Browns (4-2) gave first-year coach Todd Monken — a former Ravens offensive coordinator — an improbable victory over his former employer by relying on their defense and getting just enough playmaking from Watson in the end.

Watson completed 16 of 26 passes for 164 yards. Szmyt's game-winner atoned for a miss from 48 yards a few minutes earlier.

The Ravens (4-2) blocked Szmyt's first attempt to win it but were called for offside. Szmyt's try from 5 yards closer was down the middle to pull the surprising Browns (4-2) into a tie with Baltimore atop the AFC North.

Despite missing quarterback Lamar Jackson — out for a second straight game with an ankle injury — the Ravens appeared in firm control against an inept Browns offense, but Cleveland defensive back Tyson Campbell provided the spark the Browns needed when he pounced on Derrick Henry's fumble midway through the fourth quarter at the Baltimore 35.

Audric Estime's 2-yard touchdown run tied the game at 10-all with 8:33 remaining.

Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley, who played brilliantly in an overtime win over Atlanta last Sunday, and the rest of the Baltimore offense had two chances to take the lead but failed to produce a first down either time.

Cleveland took over at its 20 with 1:59 remaining, and Watson shook off a nightmarish first three quarters — the Browns had 107 yards of offense after 45 minutes — to guide his team 62 yards in nine plays.

It was an exciting finish to a game that often felt like a slog in the brilliant fall sunshine, with one of the biggest pops from the crowd coming in the fourth quarter when it was encouraged to support baseball's Cleveland Guardians, who were set to host Tampa Bay in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series about a mile south.

The Ravens scored on their first two possessions to take a 10-0 lead, with Huntley hitting rookie tight end Josh Cuevas for his first career touchdown from 2 yards out and Tyler Loop drilling a 34-yard field goal.

Baltimore's offense did nothing from there. Huntley finished 19 of 31 for 165 yards, but the Ravens went scoreless over their final nine possessions, with Loop missing a 49-yarder early in the fourth quarter that would have made it a two-score game.

After that kick drifted wide, the momentum shifted and the Browns pulled off their second last-second win over a division rival at home in three weeks.

Injuries

Ravens: WR Rashod Bateman (shoulder) left in the second quarter and did not return.

Browns: S Grant Delpit exited in the first quarter and was placed in the concussion protocol. ... LB Justin Jefferson injured his hip.

Up next

Ravens: Host AFC North rival Cincinnati next Sunday.

Browns: At Tennessee next Sunday.

McCarthy threw for 243 yards in just over 11 minutes, including a touchdown pass to Isaiah Likely after getting picked off on his first possession. Coach John Harbaugh said after the Giants' 34-27 loss to the Saints that it was too early to say whether Winston or McCarthy would start next weekend at Houston.

“I can’t answer that now,” Harbaugh said. “It’s not even up for discussion or conversation right now. We’ve got to go back and go to work. I have no problem with Jameis whatsoever. I love the way he competes, I love the way he fights — all those kind of things. His play was up and down today, for sure, but those things will all be decided not 10 minutes after a game.”

The Giants were down 34-10 when McCarthy went in for Winston, who was 14 of 26 for 152 yards, a touchdown pass to Tracy and the two picks.

“I myself, personally, just left a lot of plays out there that I could have executed better on,” Winston said.

McCarthy's 271 total yards were second only to Drew Brees' 294 for New Orleans against Atlanta on Nov. 9, 2008, among QBs in the fourth quarter since at least 1991. His 243 yards passing tied Eli Manning from Sept. 16, 2012, versus Tampa Bay for the most by a Giants QB over at least the past 35 years.

“Not pleased when you lose,” McCarthy said. “I was just really proud of the guys around me just responding and always keeping that belief that we can go win this thing. That’s going to be huge going down the stretch.”

McCarthy joined New York in a trade from Minnesota on Sept. 28. The 10th pick in the 2024 NFL draft had two carries last week at Washington and one in the second quarter Sunday after the coaching staff identified situational spots for McCarthy to get on the field.

He had not thrown a pass with his new team until taking over for Winston. McCarthy was 11 of 21, including a fourth-and-1 miss on an attempt to Likely in the end zone with 12 seconds left.

“I thought he came in there and did a heck of a job given the circumstances: kind of desperation time,” Harbaugh said. “It’s different than normal football. But he made some plays and gave us a chance at the end to win the game.”

That's the full list of those who managed to win three consecutive NBA Most Valuable Player awards. Nobody has pulled off that feat in 40 years, and the star power not on that list — names like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar — speaks to how difficult it is to accomplish.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder has a chance to get there this season, whether he wants to or not. His focus — as it has been in past years as well — is on winning and on championships, not on anything of the individual variety.

“I’ve just got to be the best player I can be for this basketball team, win as many games as possible," Gilgeous-Alexander said. “That kind of recipe for me in the past has kind of worked, and I’ve been fortunate to win two in a row. No different for me going into this season.”

He is the best player on the team that is essentially the co-favorite, along with the San Antonio Spurs, to win the NBA championship. He's collected more than 75% of the first-place MVP votes over the last two seasons, and his scoring average of 32 points per game is tops in the NBA over that span.

He doesn't think he's been at his peak yet, either.

“I feel like I’m a better basketball player, more versatile as a basketball player,” Gilgeous-Alexander said. “In better shape, too.”

Thunder general manager Sam Presti has been around Hall of Fame players. He sees the traits in Gilgeous-Alexander, saying in his preseason news conference last month that greats at that level have “something that separates them from the others that makes them uniquely different.”

“He has the baseline stuff of his work ethic, his discipline, his character, things that you have to have to be a consistent elite performer in the NBA or anywhere,” Presti said. “But his emotional awareness and regulation is superior, in my opinion. It’s extraordinary. His view is layered. He doesn’t live in a pass-fail world, and I think that’s part of what’s allowed him to come kind of from the back of the pack as a lightly recruited college player to this ascent.”

The game has changed, and Gilgeous-Alexander is one of the players who has changed it.

International players have won the last eight MVP awards; if the annual polling of the league's general managers proves accurate, that run will go to nine this season — since the Spurs' Victor Wembanyama is their preseason pick to emerge as the trophy winner next spring.

And with Joel Embiid — the No. 3 pick in 2014 and MVP in 2022-23 — being the exception, many of those eventual international-born MVPs weren't exactly expected by many to reach that level when they entered the league. Giannis Antetokounmpo, then of Milwaukee and now of Miami, was the 15th overall pick in the 2013 draft; he won two MVPs in this international run. Denver's Nikola Jokic was drafted No. 41 overall; he's a three-time MVP. Gilgeous-Alexander was drafted 11th; he's now gone back-to-back.

“He’s still going,” Presti said. “He’s got a lot more levels to go, and his mindset, I think, is the No. 1 thing that drives all that.”

Winning brings individual success as well, and Gilgeous-Alexander knows that. But he often reminds people that things like MVP seasons come because so many people — not just the actual trophy winner — did their part.

If the Thunder are contenders again, he'll likely be a top candidate. The best player on the best teams tends to be right in the MVP mix. And if he wins it again, it'll be costly: Gilgeous-Alexander has showered teammates with thank-you gifts after his first two MVP seasons, including fancy watches, Burberry coats and much more.

Leadership, to Gilgeous-Alexander, is far more important than trophies.

“It’s something that I’ve been intentional with, but also just I think naturally it’s just grown because I’ve grown as a man,” he said. “Becoming a father has helped with that. You’re an example for somebody every day and it’s a little bit different in the real world, but it’s essentially the same thing. You lead by example — and it’s hard to get people to follow you if you don’t do the right things and you don’t walk the walk.”

Better Williams than coach Natalie Nakase, that's for sure.

“What’s her obsession with math?” Nakase inquired when told about Williams' process.

“I don’t do math. I do more like coverages and schemes and seeing people’s energy and more connectivity with our group. That’s all Gabby. I’m not that smart. I’m not doing math out there. I didn’t do math since the UCLA days.”

Whatever it is that Williams does, it's working well during her first playoff run with the Valkyries after coming to the Bay Area for just this: a chance at a championship. Golden State leads the Atlanta Dream 1-0 in their best-of-seven WNBA Finals.

Even members of Golden State's athletic training staff have noticed Williams making her mental notes down the stretch.

The veteran guard scored 26 points in a 68-64 Game 1 win Saturday, missing her initial four shots before scoring 16 of her 26 points in the second quarter. She was the only Valkyries player in double figures as Golden State shot 32.1% and 7 of 33 from 3-point range.

“Yeah, same thing, doing math,” Williams explained of her mindset. "One of our trainers, she was like, ‘In the fourth quarter, you always do this thing and I know you’re going to start taking over, you look at the clock.’ And I’m like: ‘Yeah, I’m counting. I’m counting possessions, I’m counting points, what do we need now, what’s the most timely time to go.’

“I think it’s just like the best way to kind of take the pressure off things, too, is just to break them down possession by possession.”

The Dream had been outstanding down the stretch during their first two series, both sweeps, to reach the franchise's fourth finals. Yet Atlanta is still yet to win a finals game.

Coach Karl Smesko can't wait for his team to find a way to bounce back Monday night. Atlanta shot 2 for 19 in the fourth quarter.

“I just think we need to maintain how we want to play for a whole four quarters. We had a couple dry spells where we just weren’t working together as well as you need to against this defense. They are not just going to give you easy shots,” he said. “So we are going to need to work together to create these advantages.”

Execution is especially challenging in the hostile environment that is Golden State's deafening “Ballhalla” sellout home crowd — with rally towels waving and thunder sticks cracking all game long.

While Smesko was pleased with how the Dream handled the noise, he will challenge his players to communicate even better next time out.

“I thought the environment was great. I thought the crowd was great. They were loud. They were cheering at all the right times,” Smesko said. “But I think when we had a breakdown, it was something that we worked on and we just would have a miscommunication or something like that. ... When we have an opportunity to finish a game, we’ve just got to do it.”

Nakase challenged her team's loyal, violet-loving fans once more to bring all their energy again Monday.

“Great job but hey, level up, right? Like we’ve got to go Game 2, it has to be better. We’re going to ask more from our players. So I’d say, check for Game 1,” she said. “Let’s get a better Game 2. Rest and recover, Ballhalla. Careful what you drink tonight.”

Saudi Arabia has been pressing allies for military assistance. The Houthis have repeatedly attacked airports and oil infrastructure across the kingdom with drones and missiles that can change direction during flight, posing a challenge to interceptors. At least 19 people have been killed, thousands of flights have been affected and global markets have been rattled.

Also on Sunday, the Saudi defense minister was meeting with the United Arab Emirates president about ways to strengthen cooperation, according to the UAE’s news agency WAM. The countries have had tense relations in the recent past as they backed different factions in the Yemeni coalition fighting the rebels.

The Egyptian announcement on military assistance came a month after a visit by the Saudi crown prince. Chaired by President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, the National Defense Council decided to provide “all possible forms of support” to enable Saudi Arabia to defend its security, according to a presidential statement.

It didn’t provide details. El-Sissi on Saturday called for parliament to grant him the authorization to deploy troops and military equipment abroad.

Later Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said he and Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty spoke by phone about “the latest regional developments.”

Civilians in both Yemen and Saudi Arabia have died

The surge in fighting has threatened civilians in both Saudi Arabia and Yemen, which has seen a return to civil war. The interim capital of Yemen’s internationally recognized government, Aden, has seen its airport and a palace used by the government attacked in the past week.

On Sunday, an airstrike killed at least nine people, including five children and two women, in Yemen’s rebel-held northern province of Saada, the Houthi-run Health Ministry said.

Spokesperson Anees al-Asbahi said the strike hit a house in Sahar district and wounded 19 others, including 11 children. Some were in critical condition, he said.

Al-Asbahi blamed Saudi Arabia. There was no immediate comment from the kingdom. The Houthi-run al-Masirah satellite channel aired footage of people clearing debris with their hands and pulling two young people out of the rubble.

The rebels said attacks by Saudi-led forces had killed or wounded over 30 people in the past 24 hours. Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree, the Houthis' military spokesperson, said 110 missiles or airstrikes were carried out against civilian sites in Sanaa and other cities. The Associated Press could not independently verify the claim.

Across the border in Saudi Arabia, a Saudi helicopter gunship crashed near the city of Najran in the southwest, killing its two-member crew, a Saudi military spokesperson said, citing a technical malfunction. The Houthis earlier claimed to have downed it.

Later, Saudi Civil Defense authorities said a projectile fired by the Houthis landed in a residential area of Najran province, wounding six people.

Accusations are traded and a call for mediation is made

The Houthis have resumed attacks on Saudi Arabia in recent weeks because the kingdom has supported Yemen’s internationally recognized government in the civil war. The rebels recently seized more territory along Yemen’s Red Sea coast and near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a crucial shipping alternative to the Strait of Hormuz.

The Houthis’ chief negotiator on Sunday blamed Saudi Arabia for the escalation. Mohamed Abdulsalam said on social media that the rebels had warned the kingdom against striking the rebel-held Sanaa airport in mid-July.

That strike prevented the landing of an Iranian flight carrying a Houthi delegation returning from the funeral of Iran’s supreme leader, who had been killed in the opening strikes of the war in February.

The Houthis, angry over the longstanding Saudi blockade on them, declared their own blockade on the kingdom.

Oman had offered a five-day truce during which the two sides would meet and settle their dispute, Abdulsalam said. He said the Houthis agreed to stop attacks if Saudi Arabia agreed to “humanitarian demands.” He didn’t elaborate.

He said Saudi Arabia didn’t show “any indication that it is ready to deal positively” with the demands. The rebels shortly after that launched their offensive down the Red Sea coast.

A Saudi diplomat last week in a rare briefing said the kingdom had called for a meeting in Oman with the Houthis in July “to resolve outstanding differences and bring an end to this escalation,” but the rebels refused to participate.

On Sunday, the Sunni Muslim world’s foremost religious institution, Al-Azhar in Egypt, called for the formation of an “urgent mediation committee” to end conflicts across the Arab region.

"She said that it was a Troy supporter. She accused me of setting that up. I had no idea who it was,” said Jackson, a former president of the state Senate who is trying to deny Collins, the longest-serving Republican woman in Senate history, a sixth-term. He spoke in an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union” that aired Sunday.

During their final debate Thursday night in the closely contested race, as the Nov. 3 election nears a protester opposing data centers began yelling as Collins spoke. While moderators asked for that person to be removed, the senator said the demonstrator was “obviously one of Troy’s supporters.”

Jackson responded: “Oh, shut up. I don’t even know that kid.”

The Sunrise Movement group posted on its Instagram page that the outburst came from one of its members. In a caption of an Instagram post, the group's page said: “We’re proud of this Sunrise volunteer who took action yesterday.”

The New York Times said the protester, Henry Elgie, a 19-year-old student at Bowdoin College in Maine, told the newspaper in an interview Saturday that he had “zero coordination” with Jackson's campaign. "I do not know Troy Jackson personally or at all,” he was quoted as saying.

The Sunrise Movement is a left-wing political advocacy organization that champions the Green New Deal, aimed at transitioning the U.S. economy to 100% renewable energy. The group, which has local arms around the country, regularly organizes protests, sit-ins and climate strikes.

Jackson told CNN that he shook hands with Collins after each of their debates.

“But what I’m not going to be is talked down to by Sen. Collins,” he said. He added: "I’m fighting for Mainers and I just think that was another situation where she was talking down to me and I’m not going to apologize for that.”

Collins told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Friday that she was “struck by how reflective the response, ‘Oh, shut up,’ was.” Collins said "the fact that it seemed like such an automatic, quick reply was very telling.”

She cited what she said was “the reputation” that Jackson had in the Legislature “particularly when he’s dealing with women with whom he disagrees. So in some ways it didn’t surprise me.”

Some state lawmakers who worked with Jackson have criticized him as having a temper, including once throwing a plastic water bottle on the ground in frustration while disagreeing with a female lawmaker. Asked by reporters during the campaign about the confrontations, Jackson said, "I wear my heart on my sleeve.” He took responsibility for his outburst and apologized to those he had confrontations with at the time.

Jackson was asked on CNN about some Republicans who are saying there were stories that he was aggressive in his tone to women from his time in the Legislature and that his remark Thursday night was another example of that.

Jackson said some Republicans have been spending millions “attacking me and my family, making untrue claims. … So it doesn’t surprise me."

Jacksonville tied the game at 31-31, but Stroud didn't stress about it.

“His mindset was 'Hey, I got you Coach, don’t worry about it,” Houston coach DeMeco Ryans said.

With just under two minutes left, Stroud led a drive to set up Ka’imi Fairbairn's 49-yard field goal as time expired and the Texans won 34-31 on the slick grass of Wembley Stadium.

“When a player tells me that, that just gives me the confidence that I need,” Ryans said. “He responded in an outstanding way.”

Stroud threw three touchdown passes and Marvin Harrison Jr. made his debut for the Texans (2-4) as Houston earned back-to-back wins to gain ground on the AFC South-leading Jaguars (4-2).

Cam Little’s 60-yard field goal had tied the game — a week after his 57-yarder won it for Jacksonville against the Eagles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium — after Travis Hunter intercepted Stroud’s pass in the end zone.

Hunter also hauled in a 7-yard touchdown pass at the other end — becoming just the fifth player in the Super Bowl era, including the playoffs, to both score a touchdown and intercept a pass in the same game.

“Just made a mistake,” Stroud said of Hunter's pick. “I've learned in my life I've got to flush my failures and flush my successes and just move on. Our defense did a great job holding them to three points, and then gave me the ball back, and went down and had a game-winning drive.”

Stroud said he appreciated hearing words of support from Ryans and his teammates.

“What they did for me in that moment really meant a lot,” he said.

Tight end Foster Moreau caught two touchdown passes from Stroud, who also connected with Jaylin Noel for a 13-yard score in the third quarter for a 24-14 lead.

Moreau scored on a 6-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter and a 1-yarder just before the end of the half.

Penalties dogged the Jaguars for a third straight week. They were flagged for too many men on the field on a Houston punt — extending a Texans drive that ended with Noel’s touchdown.

Trevor Lawrence threw four touchdown passes, including a pair to Bhayshul Tuten. His 1-yard pass to rookie tight end Nate Boerkircher cut Houston’s lead to 24-21.

Houston responded with Jawhar Jordan’s 25-yard touchdown run to restore a 10-point lead, 31-21, late in the third quarter.

Two-way star Hunter, who scored his first NFL touchdown at Wembley a year ago, snagged his second when he hauled in a pass over the middle to reduce Houston’s lead to 31-28 in the fourth quarter.

Hunter's interception led to Jacksonville's drive and Little’s game-tying field goal.

“We didn’t get the result we wanted,” Jags coach Liam Coen said. “(But) I’m extremely proud of this team in the way they kept fighting today, going down 10 points ... kept fighting.”

Stroud completed 24 of 34 passes for 312 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. The interception was his first of the season.

Harrison, who joined the Texans this week in a trade with Arizona, made three catches for 34 yards. Woody Marks had 15 carries for 56 yards, the first running back to break 40 yards in a game this season against Jacksonville.

Lawrence finished 24 of 41 for 306 yards, four TDs and an interception.

The Texans were at 2-4 at this point last season and finished 12-5 to earn a wild-card playoff spot.

Slippery surface

Early rain made the Wembley grass slippery — and not just for players. Umpire Larry Smith slipped and hurt his knee in the first quarter. He left on a cart.

Houston receiver Nico Collins changed cleats for longer spikes in first half. Tight end Dalton Schultz made a third down catch in the red zone but slipped just before the first down marker. The Texans opted for Fairbairn’s 25-yard field for a 10-7 lead.

Injuries

Texans: LB Azeez Al-Shaair was evaluated for a concussion in the second quarter, headed to the locker room afterward, and returned in the third quarter ... S Reed Blankenship also left in the first half.

Jaguars: RB Ameer Abdullah was helped off after a kickoff return. He later came back into the game.... All-Pro long snapper Ross Matiscik (shoulder) had been ruled out Friday, replaced by newly signed Jacob Bobenmoyer.

Up next

Texans: Host the New York Giants next Sunday before a bye in Week 8.

Jaguars: Bye.

While Paramount’s “Street Fighter” took the first-place spot, earning $31 million from 3,575 theaters according to studio estimates on Sunday, most of the attention and cultural discourse was elsewhere: On the nearly three-hour Elizabeth Holmes documentary, “You Can See Everything.”

‘You Can See Everything’ had thousands of sellouts

Buzz and box office don’t always line up, but “You Can See Everything” made an extraordinary $15 million from only 855 screens, with over 2,000 sellout showings over the weekend, according to A24. It also had the biggest opening for a film playing on under 1,000 screens since “Borat” opened to $26.5 million in 2006, and the biggest nonmusic documentary opening in two decades, since “Fahrenheit 9/11” made nearly $24 million from 868 theaters. Those numbers do not account for inflation.

Like other hits this year, like the Gen-Z driven “Backrooms” and “Obsession,” ticket sales for “You Can See Everything” were driven by a largely younger audience. Over 70% of the opening weekend crowd was under 35.

The film, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, was made in secret over three years. Fielder spent over a month with the disgraced Theranos founder and her family, including two young children and partner Billy Evans, in her final days before reporting to federal prison. The reviews have been extremely positive, with 99% on Rotten Tomatoes and 99 on Metacritic. It also got an unprecedented 91% “definite recommend” from audiences, according to PostTrak exit polls.

“You Can See Everything” reportedly cost under $7 million to make and less than $10 million to market.

“Everybody underestimated the movie, because on paper this is like, wait, a three-hour documentary?” said Paul Dergarabedian, the head of marketplace trends for Rentrak. “But he (Fielder) is a huge draw, and he has a huge following on social media, and then Elizabeth Holmes is just a character that you couldn’t even make up. It’s stranger than fiction, and that’s really compelling.”

‘Street Fighter’ knocks out ‘Whalefall’

“Street Fighter” topped the charts as expected with a $51 million global opening, including $20 million from international showings. The movie starring Callina Liang, Noah Centineo and Andrew Koji cost a reported $82 million to make, not accounting for marketing and promotion. Audiences were 69% male.

Both “Street Fighter” and “You Can See Everything” may have contributed to “Whalefall’s” relative failure this weekend. The $60 million survival thriller starring Austin Abrams and Josh Brolin made $8 million from 3,065 locations in the U.S. and Canada, despite being better reviewed than “Street Fighter.” With $9.5 million from international showings, the Disney release had a $17.5 million global launch.

“Whalefall” opened in fourth place, behind the Jessica Chastain horror “Other Mommy.” The Universal Pictures release added $8.4 million in its second weekend, bringing its domestic total to $44.9 million.

Fifth place went to “Sense and Sensibility,” which earned an estimated $7.3 million from 2,545 theaters. The well-reviewed Austen adaptation starring Daisy Edgar-Jones drew a predominantly younger (58% between the ages of 14 and 18) and female crowd (84%). It also got the strongest CinemaScore of the week (A-).

Warner Bros. Clockwork also released a restored presentation of Ken Russell’s 1971 film “The Devils” in 350 locations, where it made $1.6 million. It’s the first release from the studio’s specialty label.

‘Musk’ documentary facing advertising blocks and Netflix shares box office for ‘La Bola Negra’

Alex Gibney's Elon Musk documentary “Musk” also expanded to 472 screens in the U.S. and Canada, where it made $306,702. The film, which runs nearly four hours, has faced issues advertising on major social media platforms including X, which Musk owns, and TikTok, according to distributor Bleecker Street, which said TikTok this weekend permanently suspended the film’s ad account.

Netflix also shared ticket sales for the first time for the queer Spanish epic “La Bola Negra,” which made $277,500 from four locations this weekend. The streamer has not historically reported box office for its theatrical releases, but this film is breaking new ground as it's being positioned as a possible best picture contender. It will be in theaters for 47 days before it will be available to watch on Netflix.

According to Rentrak, the weekend overall generated about $101.6 million in ticket sales, up 45% from the same weekend last year. The year to date stands at $8.2 billion, which is up almost 20% from 2025.

Top 10 movies by domestic box office

With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak:

1. “Street Fighter,” $31 million.

2. “You Can See Everything,” $15 million.

3. “Other Mommy,” $8.4 million.

4. “Whalefall,” $8 million.

5. “Sense and Sensibility,” $7.3 million.

6. “Verity,” $6.2 million.

7. “Resident Evil,” $5.5 million.

8. “Heart of the Beast,” $4.8 million.

9. “Jailer 2,” $3.2 million.

10. “Forgotten Island,” $2.3 million.

The Health Ministry has recorded two cases, including one death, in Nord-Ubangi province, bordering the Central African Republic. The ministry said both patients were men in their 20s living in the Wapinda health zone, which borders Bas-Uele province, where Ebola cases have been reported previously.

Authorities have recorded at least 9,400 cases, including over 4,500 deaths, in the outbreak declared in mid-May, making it the deadliest in Congo’s history.

The virus has spilled over into other countries including neighboring Uganda, which has since declared itself free of the disease, and Kenya, which recorded a seventh case on Saturday. The Central African Republic has not recorded any confirmed cases.

“We see pockets of Ebola generally going down, but unfortunately geographically it’s spreading out,” World Health Organization Regional Director for Africa Mohamed Yakub Janabi told The Associated Press in an interview in Beni, eastern Congo, on Friday.

Janabi said one of the biggest challenges has been convincing those who are infected to seek medical assistance, adding that some deaths occur in the community outside of health centers.

Serge Ngalebato, epidemiologist and field coordinator for the Wamba health zone in Haut-Uele province, told the AP health workers in his health zone introduced periodic home visits because people were too afraid to go to hospital.

Nord-Ubangi is located between Sud-Ubangi and Bas-Uele, the last two provinces the disease had spread to along the border with the Central African Republic, where recurring armed violence has forced thousands to flee and take refuge in Congolese border communities. Access in the region can be difficult due to poor roads and limited communication networks.

Ituri province in eastern Congo remains the disease's epicenter, accounting for almost three quarters of confirmed cases, according to the government’s most recent data, which shows 66 health zones have been affected since the start of the outbreak.

Congo's state-news agency ACP reported Sunday that authorities in North Kivu province - where WHO says substantial transmission continues - will introduce a one-week ban from Monday on people entering the province from Ituri in an effort to slow the spread of the virus.

Other measures that will be introduced include prohibiting carrying more than two people on a motorcycle or four people in a car, as well as suspending big public gatherings such as at mass sports activities, nightclubs and political demonstrations.

The spread of the outbreak, caused by the rare Bundibugyo virus for which there is no approved vaccine or treatment, is fueled by mass population movements, rebel violence, mistrust and poor working conditions of front line workers.

Ngalebato said efforts to contain the virus in the Wamba health zone were initially met with resistance among local residents, but as time went on the community became more understanding and began reporting positive cases.

“Ebola is a community disease. If the community does not cooperate, it will be very difficult,” he said.

He added most of the cases reported in his health zone are around mining areas where the population moves constantly, so a lot of deaths were reported in these areas.

Miami landed the No. 1 spot for the first time since 2002, No. 2 BYU has its highest ranking since its 1984 national championship season and Ohio State slid in at No. 3.

Despite their losses, Notre Dame, Georgia and Indiana held tight in the top six, thanks to capital they built up with their 6-0 starts. Plus, the losses by the Fighting Irish and Hoosiers were against top-10 opponents.

Follow live analysis and see what to look for this season below.

Here’s what to know:

Big 12 is on the rise

By MAURA CAREY

The Big 12 has a season-high of five teams in the AP Top 25 this week, led by No. 2 BYU, followed by No. 8 Texas Tech, No. 10 Utah, No. 14 Houston and No. 25 Arizona.

BYU’s No. 2 ranking is its highest since 1984, when the Cougars sat atop the poll for four weeks.

Arizona is the conference’s only newcomer this week, benefitting from an idle week after a Week 6 win over West Virginia.

The Big 12 also boasts half of the nation’s six remaining undefeated teams, with BYU, Texas Tech and Utah all still unbeaten.

Ask a voter: Why didn’t Georgia fall further after losing to an unranked Auburn?

By KIRK BOHLS

I don’t think Georgia should fall below 5. That’s where I had the Dawgs.

But they did drop 4 spots after losing on a walk-off field goal.

It wasn’t like Georgia got trounced. I’d defy anybody who says the Bulldogs don’t pass the eyeball test.

They’re damn good. ___ Bohls has been an AP Top 25 voter since 1989.

Kentucky’s rise continues

By MAURA CAREY

Kentucky, one of the more unexpected contenders in the AP Top 25 this year, continues to ascend in the ranks. The Wildcats moved up three spots to No. 12, marking the program’s highest ranking since 2022.

Kentucky is now the fourth-highest-ranked SEC team, behind only No. 5 Georgia, No. 7 Ole Miss and No. 11 Tennessee. A 21-13 win over Oklahoma, paired with Alabama’s loss to Tennessee, boosted the Wildcats over the Crimson Tide in the rankings.

The Wildcats pulled off a late comeback with two fourth-quarter touchdowns. The latter was a 41-yard pick-six with just over a minute remaining, putting the game out of reach for Oklahoma.

Ask a voter: Why is Notre Dame ranked so high?

By KIRK BOHLS

That’s a great question.

Notre Dame was my preseason No. 1. I think the Irish are loaded with a great QB in CJ Carr, a great CB in Leonard Moore and a terrific defense.

I totally agree with you about ND’s schedule. It’s a joke. I hate that it has canceled series with USC (but bringing it back partly) and Michigan back in the day. ND’s schedule may really hurt it in any tiebreaker with another deserving CFP.

Texas is scheduled to play a home-and-home with ND in 2028-2029. I hope they don’t cancel it.

James Madison is unbeaten and unranked

By MAURA CAREY

Five of the six unbeaten teams sit comfortably in the AP Top 25. James Madison is the exception.

The Dukes are 7-0 overall and 4-0 in conference play, but they haven’t faced the same level of competition as most ranked teams. They also don’t have a ranked opponent remaining on their schedule, making it harder to land the kind of marquee win that could boost their case.

JMU’s best path into the rankings may be to keep stacking wins and let their unbeaten record do the talking.

Auburn pulls off a stunner but can’t crack the rankings

By MAURA CAREY

Auburn knocked off then-No. 1 Georgia as underdogs of more than 20 points in Bulldogs territory, but that wasn’t enough to convince voters to add them to the rankings this week.

Auburn received the third-most votes of any unranked team behind Oklahoma State and Oregon.

The 4-2 Tigers’ two losses came against a then-unranked Florida team in mid-September and then No. 17-ranked Tennessee at Neyland Stadium two weeks ago.

Byrum Brown’s versatility was on full display against Georgia, as the former South Florida quarterback surpassed 100 yards on foot and in the air.

Conference breakdown

By MAURA CAREY

The SEC leads the pack with nine ranked teams: Georgia (5), Ole Miss (7), Tennessee (12), Kentucky (12), Alabama (13), LSU (18), Texas (19), Florida (20), Missouri (22).

The Big Ten has six ranked teams: Ohio State (3), Indiana (6), UCLA (9), Iowa (15), USC (16), Northwestern (24).

The Big 12 has five ranked teams: BYU (2), Texas Tech (8), Utah (10), Houston (14), Arizona (25).

The ACC has three ranked teams: Miami (1), Wake Forest (17), SMU (23).

Notre Dame (4) is independent.

What’s next for Miami?

By MAURA CAREY

The top-ranked Canes have six regular season games remaining, and Nov. 7 is likely highlighted, bolded and underlined on the calendar.

Miami’s only remaining ranked matchup is against No. 4 Notre Dame – one that will inevitably impact the playoff picture.

The Canes host Pittsburgh next week and travel to UNC the following week before their trip to South Bend, Indiana.

Ask a voter: Why is the SEC constantly overrated?

By KIRK BOHLS

I’ll agree to disagree. I do not think the SEC is overrated.

Listen, I covered Texas and the Big 12 for 28 years, and I’m sorry but in no way does it compare to the SEC after covering Texas and SEC teams for three years now.

There really isn’t a bad team in the SEC, save maybe for Vanderbilt. Arkansas is thin without the firepower of some SEC teams, but still has three wins.

Alabama and Texas suffer back-to-back losses

By MAURA CAREY

Two of the SEC’s top teams this year, Alabama and Texas, have now turned one-off losses into back-to-backs.

Florida upset the 11.5-point favorite Longhorns with a 27-24 road win, while Alabama fell 26-10 at Tennessee in the third Saturday in October rivalry game.

Both teams now have their backs against the wall with two losses, and it doesn’t necessarily get easier as SEC teams continue to beat on each other.

The Longhorns have Ole Miss up next and Alabama faces Texas A&M before taking on LSU at Death Valley.

Ask a voter: How much do you consider injuries when ranking teams?

By KIRK BOHLS

I do consider injuries.

I think that’s an important metric because it may not be the same team as it would obviously be without the injury.

Of course, sometimes, as was the case with Florida, the Gators were actually better with their backup quarterback. I probably would have put Ohio State No. 2 if Julian Sayin was healthy.

Quick turns at No. 1

By TIM REYNOLDS

Miami’s climb to No. 1 marks the first time in nearly 14 years that three different schools have been atop the poll in a three-week span.

Texas held the No. 1 spot two weeks ago and Georgia held it last week. In 2012, Alabama (Week 10), Oregon (Week 11) and Notre Dame (Week 12) all took a turn at No. 1 in a three-poll span.

Ohio State also has been No. 1 at times this season. That makes this the first time since 2008 that at least four different schools have been No. 1 in the first eight weeks of a season.

AP Top 25 temperature check

By MAURA CAREY

Not a single team stayed put in this week’s AP Top 25.

Heating up: Miami (1), BYU (2), Ohio State (3), Ole Miss (7), Texas Tech (8), UCLA (9), Utah (10), Tennessee (11), Kentucky (12), Houston (14), Iowa (15), USC (16), Wake Forest (17), LSU (18), Florida (20), Boise State (21), SMU (23), Northwestern (24), Arizona (25).

Cooling down: Notre Dame (4), Georgia (5), Indiana (6), Alabama (13), Texas (19), Missouri (22), Oklahoma State (OUT), Mississippi State (OUT).

Major poll shuffle

By DAVE ZELIO

Not a single team stayed put from last week’s Top 25: Every slot has a new team this week.

The biggest movers were No. 14 Houston, which climbed six spots, and No. 19 Texas (down 12), No. 22 Missouri (down 9) and No. 13 Alabama (down 7).

No. 20 Florida returned to the poll and No. 25 Arizona also made the rankings. Oklahoma State and Mississippi State dropped out.

Notre Dame-BYU could have unfolded differently

By MAURA CAREY

Notre Dame’s last chance to beat BYU fell incomplete in the end zone, but according to the Big 12, there was an officiating mistake and there was time for one last attempt in the 28-24 upset.

“Following the Big 12’s review of the final play of Saturday’s Notre Dame-BYU game, it was determined that time remained on the clock when the ball hit the ground and the play was incorrectly cleared by the replay officiating crew,” the Big 12 said in a statement. “The Conference will conduct a complete review of its end-of-game officiating process in advance of next week’s games.”

Who decides the rankings?

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AP Top 25 voters are writers and broadcasters who cover college football.

AP employees do not vote, but they do choose the voters, and they seek wide representation from all over the country. This season, there are 69 voters.

The focus begins with voter representation in states with a Bowl Subdivision school, and the total number of voters from each state increases with the number of FBS teams. There are also spots reserved for national voters.

The AP allows broad latitude for voters to determine their rankings. They are urged to base their votes on performance, not reputation or preseason speculation (except, of course, for the always provocative preseason poll); to avoid regional bias, for or against; to pay attention to head-to-head results; and to make significant changes if desired.

A historic week in the Top 25

By ERIC OLSON

After a weekend never before seen for teams in The Associated Press Top 25, a major shake-up is on tap.

Five of the top seven teams in the rankings — No. 1 Georgia, No. 2 Notre Dame, No. 5 Indiana, No. 6 Alabama and No. 7 Texas — lost on the same day in the regular season for the first time in the history of the poll that began in 1936. It’s the first time Nos. 1 and 2 lost on the same day in the regular season since 2012 and eight Top 25 teams lost in all.

Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. also is active and expected to start after leaving last week's 30-23 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens with a rib injury.

Penix suffered the rib injury in the fourth quarter and Tua Tagovailoa threw an interception in overtime to end the game for the Falcons (2-3).

Williams and Penix were listed as having full participation in practice this week. Williams expressed confidence on Thursday he would be ready to start against Atlanta.

Chicago running back Kyle Monangai (thumb, toe) is inactive. Falcons defensive end Za'Darius Smith (neck) is active after being listed as questionable.

The Bears (3-2) were 2-1 since losing Williams in a 9-3 loss to Minnesota on Sept. 20. Sunday marks four weeks since the injury.

Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum filled in for Williams. Keenum is listed as inactive as the Bears' emergency third quarterback on Sunday.

She joined host Glenna Milberg on the latest episode of “This Week in South Florida”, and their conversation can be seen at the top of this page.

The attack on Heidi Levine and Palestinians during the sensitive olive harvest — followed a day later by an attack on European diplomats in a Christian village — again highlights the rampant settler violence that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has blamed on a small number of troublemakers.

Levine, from her hospital bed, has told The Associated Press she was “shocked and insulted” that Netanyahu referred to the attack on her and others as “alleged,” adding that the prime minister “had all the evidence on the table.”

In contrast, she described the sharp condemnation of settler violence expressed to her in a call from Israel’s president, and in a letter signed by several of the country’s top former security and intelligence officials. All expressed shame over the attack.

Netanyahu, two weeks out from close elections that could end his time in power, is again confronted with an issue that has drawn growing international condemnation. Much of the world considers the settlements in the West Bank illegal, and yet construction and expansion continue.

Hundreds of Palestinians have been attacked and a few have been killed this olive harvest alone, which started in late September, rights groups have said. Olive trees, a central part of history and heritage for Palestinians, have been destroyed.

Levine blamed “Jewish terrorists” for Friday's attack and added: “I’ve been covering this region for over 40 years, and I have never seen this country in such a state as it is today.”

Levine praises a call from Israel's president

Levine was recovering Sunday from injuries that included what appeared to be stab wounds in her buttocks, which required stitches. There was nothing new from police on the case, she said.

U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee, whose recent comments have condemned settler attacks on U.S. citizens but not on Palestinians overall, called the attack on Levine a “despicable act of terror carried out by masked cowards” and said they should spend years in prison.

Separately, Israeli President Isaac Herzog called Levine, and Yair Golan, a former general and leader of the opposition Democrats party, visited. Netanyahu’s main rival in the elections, Gadi Eisenkot, said on X that “a handful of criminals is burning up the last shreds of legitimacy left to the state of Israel.”

Herzog was “actually very sweet,” Levine said Sunday. “Down to earth, calling them thugs, inviting me for a personal hug. He’s ashamed for what happened: ‘These people are a stain on Israeli society.’”

She said she has not heard from Netanyahu. His outgoing government is dominated by West Bank settlers and their supporters.

Levine did receive, however, a letter signed by over a dozen former Israeli security, intelligence and other officials, including former Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon, former Mossad director Tamir Pardo and former Shin Bet director Ami Ayalon.

“We are deeply ashamed that Jewish terrorists in the West Bank continue to inflict suffering on innocent Palestinians, assault those who come to their defense, and target those who document and expose their despicable conduct,” said the letter, shared with the AP.

“Their brutality brings disgrace upon Israel and the Jewish people. Such acts undermine Israel’s security, its regional and international standing, and the moral fabric of our society. They represent a betrayal of everything we have devoted our lives to defending.”

The letter noted that “alas, with encouragement from the highest echelons of government,” only a fundamental change in policy can end the “disgraceful phenomenon.”

Levine says she plans to return to work

Levine told the AP that “I never wanted the story to be about me but about the people I’ve tried to document” over decades. She said she has sought to show how the violence is “increasing, becoming more and more dangerous.”

She has said the attackers — armed with bottles and slingshots — “were kicking me for like 10 minutes and I was trying to hold on to my cameras and my bag.” Her helmet and protective vest, which was marked “PRESS,” likely saved her from more serious injuries.

But she and others have openly wondered who will protect Palestinians. Rights groups have said few settlers are ever punished for the attacks that have surged in recent years.

“It’s about time you do something, Mr. Prime Minister,” Levine said.

As for herself, she plans to return to work.

“I’ve invested decades of blood, sweat and tears into this,” she said. “They cracked my bones, they haven’t cracked my spirit.”

This version corrects to say the attack was Friday.

They joined host Glenna Milberg on the latest episode of “This Week in South Florida”, and their conversation can be seen at the top of this page.

Trump posted on social media about his intent to shutter the East Potomac Golf Course, not far from the White House, starting Nov. 15 to make it “one of the Best and Most Spectacular Golf Courses anywhere in the World.”

A judge last week, however, ordered a halt to his redevelopment plans until at least Oct. 26 after scolding the government for starting a large-scale tree removal at the course over a holiday weekend while providing little notice to the court or the plaintiffs trying to stop the makeover.

Trump did not acknowledge the legal fight in his post, which included an artist's rendering for the course redesign.

“When completed, it will be open to the Public while, at the same time, designed to the Highest Level of Golf and able to hold World Class Tournaments such as the U.S. Open, the PGA Championship, the Ryder Cup, and the Presidents Cup,” Trump wrote.

Democracy Forward, which is representing the plaintiffs challenging his renovation plans, responded by saying that the course is part of a national park and recreation facility that is meant for everyone to enjoy.

“Our litigation is intended to protect this community jewel for the people and communities it serves and we will continue to work with our plaintiffs to defend it from unlawful and harmful intrusion,” Skye Perryman, the president and CEO of the group, said in a statement.

The judge in the case took notice of Trump's online message and ordered the government to notify her by 8 p.m. EDT Sunday whether its position had changed from a court filing Friday that said “at most” Trump has given “preliminary thought” to the rebuilding plan and “there is no final agency action.”

Capital makeover extends well beyond the fairways

Trump, a golf aficionado who plays often, had already announced plans to makeover the links as part of his broader push to renovate and refurbish places around Washington, including the White House and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Many of his projects, including plans for a huge ballroom at the White House, the installation of his own name on the Kennedy Center and construction of a massive arch, have been challenged in courts.

The 106-year-old park and course has been the subject of many emergency hearings as the president has sought to renovate it. While it has been open to Washingtonians of all income levels, opponents of Trump's plans to turn it into a high-end course have argued it will alter the character of the space and make it less affordable to people.

Trump in his post echoed arguments he has made to justify his plans to remake the Kennedy Center, arguing it is in such dangerous condition that it needs to close.

“The current Course is old, broken, dilapidated, and of no further use or effect. It is in very poor condition, with falling, dangerous, and disease infested trees and, importantly, a collapsing and hazardous seawall,” Trump wrote.

Debris from the demolition of the White House East Wing to make way for his ballroom project has also been dumped on the grounds. The National Park Service has said the debris tested positive for lead, chromium and other toxic metals.

Trump also sought to justify the National Park Service's removal of hundreds of trees that the judge paused, writing in his announcement that when the golf course was originally built, “it was famous for no trees, with views of Washington, D.C., for all to see, but now, it is completely overgrown, dysfunctional, and unsafe.”

Legal case returns to court and the administration seeks to remove the judge

Trump’s post outlining a clear plan for construction complicates a federal court hearing scheduled for Monday in a lawsuit filed by the DC Preservation League and two golfers opposing the construction.

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes has ordered key members of the Republican administration to testify on the recent tree-cutting and whether those actions are tied to the president’s plans for the historical public links.

The administration on Friday asked for Reyes to be replaced on the case, questioning her impartiality and citing what it called “egregious” behavior from the bench in response to an emergency hearing Oct. 12. Her frustration boiled over in a three-hour hearing when she lambasted the government’s attorney for the lack of notification she and the plaintiffs received before the trees were chopped down.

At the upcoming hearing, the judge is expected to address the request that she step aside. Meanwhile, over the weekend the plaintiffs asked that she grant them a more long-standing preliminary injunction in the case and/or a stay.

Las manifestaciones forman parte de un movimiento que se opone a lo que los participantes describen como un abuso autoritario de poder por parte de la administración Trump y un deterioro de las normas democráticas.

La primera protesta nacional “No Kings” se realizó en junio de 2025, organizada por grupos como la Unión Estadounidense por las Libertades Civiles (ACLU) y la Liga de Mujeres Votantes. Las manifestaciones coincidieron con un desfile militar en Washington, D.C., realizado para conmemorar el cumpleaños del presidente Donald Trump.

Desde entonces, se han llevado a cabo otras dos protestas nacionales, dando continuidad a una serie de manifestaciones centradas en las preocupaciones sobre el poder presidencial y las instituciones democráticas.

Se espera que la protesta de hoy haga énfasis en las elecciones de medio término, con especial atención al acceso al voto y la participación electoral, mientras los votantes se preparan para acudir a las urnas.

Los organizadores y participantes están utilizando las manifestaciones para llamar la atención sobre las preocupaciones relacionadas con las elecciones y fomentar la participación pública en el proceso democrático.

Según la declaración jurada, la Unidad de Gestión de Amenazas de la Oficina del Sheriff de Broward fue notificada el 21 de agosto sobre dos publicaciones en Facebook realizadas desde una cuenta con el nombre de usuario “elijahdmanley”, que los investigadores creen que pertenece a Manley.

Los agentes indicaron que las publicaciones contenían amenazas de causar daño físico a dos personas. La persona que presentó la denuncia proporcionó a los investigadores capturas de pantalla de los mensajes.

Una de las publicaciones decía: “Les estoy hablando a ustedes. Vi sus comentarios anteriormente. Ya estoy bastante enojado, no me hagan enojar más. Lo juro por Dios, si me llevan a una guerra por esta mujer negra, les prometo que quemaré su maldito castillo hasta los cimientos y a cualquiera que se interponga en mi camino”, según la declaración jurada.

La declaración jurada señala que la disputa aparentemente surgió de un desacuerdo sobre un candidato político y las diferentes posturas de las partes respecto a ese candidato.

Los investigadores también documentaron mensajes adicionales de Facebook presuntamente publicados por Manley, incluido uno que decía: “Este es el tipo de cosas que harán que pierda el control”.

Otro mensaje estaba dirigido a personas que no apoyaban a la representante estatal Angie Nixon, según la declaración jurada.

“A cualquiera de ustedes que no apoye a Angie Nixon, les prometo que les haré la vida un verdadero infierno hasta el final”, decía el mensaje. “Más les vale ponerse detrás de la candidata demócrata, como siempre lo hacemos”.

Otra publicación decía: “Todos los demócratas deben apoyar a la candidata demócrata al Senado. Cualquiera que no lo haga, les prometo que le cortaré la maldita cabeza”, según la declaración jurada.

La declaración jurada indica que los investigadores hablaron con las víctimas, cuyos nombres fueron censurados en el documento. Una de las víctimas dijo a los agentes que los comentarios le habían “provocado temor”. También afirmó que anteriormente se había iniciado sesión en la cuenta de Facebook asociada con “elijahdmanley” desde su vivienda durante actividades de recaudación de fondos, según los investigadores.

Aunque las publicaciones habían sido eliminadas cuando los investigadores documentaron el caso, las autoridades indicaron que los mensajes fueron publicados el 20 de agosto, entre las 8 p.m. y las 9:30 p.m.

Al menos dos personas proporcionaron declaraciones a los agentes en las que expresaron preocupación por su seguridad, según la declaración jurada.

Los registros de la cárcel muestran que Manley fue arrestado y enfrenta dos cargos de intimidación por presuntamente escribir o enviar amenazas de muerte o de causar lesiones a alguien.

Manley estuvo entre varios candidatos que participaron en las elecciones primarias demócratas del verano de 2026 por el Distrito Congresional 20 de Florida. No consiguió la nominación.

La Fiscalía Estatal de Broward informó anteriormente a Local 10 News que un juez emitió una orden en la que estableció las condiciones de la fianza de Manley. Estas incluyen la libertad provisional antes del juicio, la prohibición de poseer armas o municiones, no tener contacto con las víctimas y la prohibición de publicar contenido en redes sociales.

La Fiscalía Estatal también indicó que no se encargará del caso debido a un conflicto de intereses.

En un comunicado enviado a Local 10, la fiscalía señaló que había solicitado a la oficina del gobernador Ron DeSantis que asignara el caso a otra fiscalía estatal, debido a que las víctimas mencionadas habían participado en campañas benéficas organizadas por la Fiscalía Estatal de Broward a lo largo de los años.

Los registros muestran que Manley fue liberado de la cárcel principal del condado Broward la mañana del sábado después de pagar una fianza de $40,000 USD.

El domingo por la mañana, Samiar Nefzi, de Local 10, estuvo en Pompano Beach, en la Northeast 20th Avenue, cerca de Atlantic Boulevard.

Allí se registraron inundaciones en toda la zona, pero no fue el único lugar afectado.

Las cámaras de Local 10 también captaron grandes acumulaciones de agua a lo largo de Hallandale Beach Boulevard.

Un poco más al oeste, en Miramar, las calles anegadas afectaban el tráfico, mientras una lluvia lenta en las primeras horas de la mañana mantenía el terreno saturado.

Todo esto llega después de una noche de sábado muy húmeda, con fuertes aguaceros durante el gran partido entre la University of Miami y Florida State en el Hard Rock Stadium.

Los Hurricanes se llevaron la victoria, aunque el clima fuera del estadio fue toda una experiencia para los fanáticos del fútbol americano.

Más al sur, en Wynwood, la lluvia no logró apagar la música en el Three Points Music Festival.

Se espera que la lluvia continúe durante toda la mañana del domingo y dé paso a una tarde con mucho viento.

And once again, end-of-game officiating was under fire.

Dramatic — and sometimes controversial — endings were the story of a wild college football Saturday, with late-game calls deciding some outcomes and potentially even having an effect on how the College Football Playoff shapes up a couple months from now.

Notre Dame's 28-24 loss at BYU ended one second earlier than it should have, the Big 12 Conference said — and some suggested the Irish were the victims of an uncalled pass interference on what became their final play of the evening, after looking at how BYU’s Evan Johnson defended Notre Dame’s Jaden Greathouse.

“I think it warranted a flag,” ESPN and ABC rules analyst Matt Austin said over a replay of the final play on the broadcast, as BYU's celebration was just beginning to get underway. "That’s a lot of contact where you’re not playing the ball. You're just playing the receiver."

For their part, the Irish — who lobbied for the flag — shrugged the no-call off afterward, at least publicly.

“It is what it is,” Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman said after his team’s 16-game winning streak was snapped. “I know people are going to look for me to put blame on somebody else. That’s not what we do around here. We own it. We’ve got to be better and we’ve got to execute no matter what the situation is.”

Pass interference — marking the second straight week that a late non-call played a major role in an outcome of a marquee game, after one that certainly seemed like it should have been called against Georgia wasn't and helped the Bulldogs beat Alabama on Oct. 10 — could have been debated.

The game clock miscue seemed absolute, after replays proved one second remained when Notre Dame's final pass fell incomplete. It is at least the second time that a last-second game clock miscue became a national talking point, after Michigan won 13-12 on a Hail Mary pass in Week 1 over Western Michigan after the replay official put one second back on the clock in a game that it seemed the Wolverines should have lost.

“Following the Big 12’s review of the final play of Saturday’s Notre Dame-BYU game, it was determined that time remained on the clock when the ball hit the ground and the play was incorrectly cleared by the replay officiating crew,” the Big 12 said in a statement early Sunday. “The Conference will conduct a complete review of its end-of-game officiating process in advance of next week’s games.”

There were other calls that loomed huge, such as officials correctly ruling that Indiana wide receiver Nick Marsh was out of bounds on a potentially game-winning play in the Hoosiers' loss to Ohio State, and a roughing-the-passer penalty on Georgia in the final moments of what became the winning drive for Auburn.

“It takes great restraint not to do it,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. “And we didn’t have great restraint.”

Florida State went back-and-forth with Miami all night and needed a miracle at the end to try and send the game to a third overtime.

The Seminoles think they got that miracle. Two, actually. Neither counted and the Hurricanes won, 43-35.

On fourth-and-21 in the second overtime, Seminoles quarterback Ashton Daniels heaved the ball into the end zone and it was caught by Micahi Danzy for a touchdown — one that was called back after a holding call that Florida State felt didn't exist.

“Go watch the film,” Florida State coach Mike Norvell said.

A play later, now facing fourth-and-31, Daniels sent an even deeper throw into the right corner of the end zone. A maze of bodies leaped for the catch and it appeared that Florida State's Duce Robinson and Miami's Bryce Fitzgerald both had their hands on the ball. Florida State players signaled touchdown. Miami players signaled interception. Fitzgerald emerged with the ball, the Atlantic Coast Conference replay officials agreed, and the Hurricanes won to stay unbeaten.

In fairness, Florida State still would have needed a 2-point conversion to extend the game even if either of the Hail Mary touchdowns had counted. The loss sent Florida State to 3-4, put the embattled Norvell under even more fire, and kept Miami's hopes of a perfect season alive.

“We don't understand it," Daniels said. “Obviously, it hurts.”

As for Arsenal, the defending champion just needed one goal — a late one from substitute Noni Madueke — to see off Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Manchester United ended a turbulent week by scrapping out a 1-1 draw at fierce rival Leeds.

Gomez scores from the halfway line for Brighton

Evoking memories of David Beckham’s famous goal from the halfway line for Man United 30 years ago, Brighton midfielder Diego Gomez boldly launched a shot from just inside Crystal Palace's half and the ball flew over stranded Palace goalkeeper Walter Benitez into the net for an instant goal-of-the-season contender in England's top division.

It was the second of three goals in the opening 10 minutes for Brighton, which swept to a 5-0 win over Palace and another statement victory in a campaign that has already seen the south-coast team overwhelm Arsenal 3-0.

As well as an own-goal, Brighton also had goals from Yasin Ayari, Charalampos Kostoulas and Jack Hinshelwood at Amex Stadium and moved up to third place with the win.

Only three teams — Arsenal (2009-10), Man United (2011-12) and Manchester City (2019-20) — in Premier League history have scored more after seven matches than Brighton's 23 goals, according to stat supplier Opta.

It was the worst possible result for Palace manager Pierre Sage, who was under pressure even before a heavy loss to his club’s biggest rival.

The Frenchman apologized to fans and said he didn’t know if he’d be given time to turn things around after two wins in seven matches.

Arsenal squeezes past Forest to go 3 points behind City

Unlike Brighton, goals aren't proving so easily to come by for Arsenal, which has 11 from seven games at the start of its title defense.

Madueke was the matchwinner for the defending champions after coming on as a halftime substitute, with the England winger cutting inside in the 80th minute and sending in a shot that deflected past Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels.

That was Arsenal's only shot on target in the entire match.

“We showed grit, determination — we showed a champion spirit here tonight,” Madueke said.

Arsenal moved back into second place, three points behind Manchester City in a title race that is clouded in controversy now that City has been found guilty of large-scale financial breaches that are set to result in severe sanctions should the team lose its appeal.

Man United hangs on for draw at Leeds

Four days after his headline-grabbing outburst following a Champions League loss, Lisandro Martinez started for Man United at Elland Road but was substituted at halftime — by which time his team was leading Leeds thanks to Bryan Mbeumo's 35th-minute strike.

Leeds equalized in the 51st through Dominic Calvert-Lewin, leaving Man United with just one win from its first seven league games this season — the fewest by this stage for the club in 40 years — and just two victories from 10 games in all competitions.

Still, under-pressure United manager Michael Carrick regarded the hard-earned point as “a platform to build on, for sure.”

“It felt like a bit of a fresh start, if I’m honest, today in where we’re at and accepting it and doing something about it," Carrick said.

“It definitely shows that the boys are desperate to do well for each other."

Bournemouth finally wins

In the other early kickoff, Brazilian striker Evanilson scored one goal and set up the other for Marcus Tavernier in Bournemouth's 2-0 win over Sunderland, which was a man down from the 17th minute after a red card for defender Kevin Danso.

It was Bournemouth's first league win of the season.

Trump said in a post on social media that Netanyahu “has been a Great Warrior Prime Minister, and an even greater Partner for Peace in combatting the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

Israelis are set to vote Oct. 27, in the first national elections since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

The absence of an endorsement was a setback for the Likud politician, who had billed his tight ties to the Republican president as a selling point for staying in power.

“Thank you, President Trump, for the tremendous support and work together,” Netanyahu said in a statement in Hebrew posted on X. “Together we will complete the mission!”

His Likud Party attached to the statement a 35-second video showing clips of the two leaders together and Trump praising Netanyahu.

It was not immediately clear what impact the endorsement would have on what is expected to be a tight race. Trump is still popular in Israel, but many Israelis, including leading commentators, have expressed disappointment over the inconclusive outcome of the Iran war and Trump’s ceasefire proposal, which fell short of many of the countries’ key goals when they jointly launched the war in February.

In his post, Trump again threatened to “soon finish the job” against Iran “unless they change their ways, rapidly,” but added he might not want to if Netanyahu loses the election. “If Israel has the wrong Leader, which would be anyone other than Bibi, America will have to do this work ourselves, and I am not inclined to do so,” Trump said.

He said Netanyahu had been “Strong, Brave, and Brilliant in the face of tremendous opposition, including that coming from even Israel, itself.”

Trump endorsed Netanyahu in past elections and in November he sent a letter to Israeli President Isaac Herzog asking him to pardon Netanyahu on corruption charges.

But Trump's comments about Netanyahu in recent months had been much more subdued, and he repeatedly demurred when asking if he would back the prime minister. The president, when asked in a Time magazine interview published this month about backing the Israeli leader, said, ”I’m not involved in politics anymore,” despite his campaigning for and endorsing U.S. politicians.

Trump, especially in his second term, has sought to give his stamp of approval to candidates in foreign elections and claimed credit when they have been successful. He endorsed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in his unsuccessful bid for a fifth term, as well as Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and Polish President Karol Nawrocki, and several Latin American leaders.

Trump and Netanyahu have been close allies and seemed more aligned than ever in the wake of the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities in 2025. But over the course of the nearly eight-month war with Iran this year, they have had disagreements.

Trump criticized Israel’s decision to attack a key Iranian gas field in the first weeks of the war. In June, he called Netanyahu “crazy." Trump also said that he was “a little bit perturbed” as Israel’s fighting with Hezbollah militants in Lebanon was holding back peace talks with Iran.

Beyond Iran, Netanyahu in August rejected Trump’s latest plan to advance a stalled ceasefire in Gaza, pushing back on the U.S. administration’s call for Israel to withdraw from territory it controls in Gaza until Hamas has been disarmed.

Associated Press writer Josef Federman in Jerusalem contributed to this report.

Fire crews scrambled late into the night as fierce winds whipped flames beyond Canadian Forces Base Wainwright and into the surrounding rural area.

It was not immediately clear how many people were killed or injured, but a doctor at a hospital in the city of Edmonton, 180 kilometers (120 miles) northwest, told Canada’s national broadcaster that patients were being brought to hospitals across the city as healthcare facilities around the base became “completely overwhelmed” by the number of people needing care.

“This number of patients would overwhelm the city of Edmonton,” Dr. Warren Thirsk, an emergency department physician at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, told CBC News. “It is more patients than any of us want to count right now. It’s a disaster. It’s a one in every 15- to 25-year disaster.”

Acute Care Alberta said several hospitals across the province had activated a “Code Orange,” an emergency designation used when multiple severely injured patients require coordinated medical care. The agency said emergency medical resources were stretched so thin that extremely few ambulances were available in the Edmonton area. It urged people to avoid the University of Alberta Hospital emergency department if possible.

Wainwright Mayor Bruce Pugh said the town’s small hospital was not designed to handle a mass-casualty incident but praised the response of local medical personnel. He said helicopters and planes had been transporting patients to other facilities for treatment.

At least 10 ambulances were parked in and around the Wainwright health centre late Saturday as paramedics and soldiers rushed about. One patient was seen being loaded into an ambulance.

The town of Wainwright, near the base, has about 7,000 residents.

Defense Minister David McGuinty said the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were involved in investigating the incident and described the situation as “very, very active and delicate.” He said authorities were still working to determine what happened and expected to provide further information.

The Canadian Armed Forces said it would not release casualty figures until relatives had been notified. “The full extent of the impact remains under assessment,” the military said in a statement late Saturday.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said officers were called shortly after 4 p.m. Saturday following reports of a fire in a training area at the base.

Firefighters faced a volatile situation. Large areas of the province were hit during the day by a windstorm with gusts up to 100 kilometres an hour. The wind toppled some trees and sent signs flying and garbage cans rolling down streets.

By 11 p.m., the Municipal District of Wainwright said on social media the fire was being held and that property and critical infrastructure were protected. There was no evacuation order for residents.

McGuinty, speaking to reporters in Ottawa, confirmed the casualties but had no other details to share.

“I cannot recall such an incident in my short time for sure as a minister, but I cannot recall an incident like this in recent memory,” McGuinty said.

“We will have more to say in the coming hours and days,” he added.

He said Armed Forces members were at the scene and that RCMP were also involved. “This is an active and delicate situation and soon to be an active and delicate investigation.”

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said his province was sending assistance to Alberta but did not specify what resources were being deployed.

“Our thoughts are with all the brave women and men affected,” Prime Minister Mark Carney said earlier in a social media post.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith described the fire as “significant and tragic” and said it was affecting many military personnel.

CFB Wainwright is one of Canada’s busiest military training bases, where soldiers prepare for combat operations. It is home to the Canadian Manoeuvre Training Centre, which conducts realistic battlefield exercises, and the 3rd Canadian Division Training Centre, which provides military training.

Canadian Conservative opposition leader Pierre Poilievre said he had spoken with Carney and the defense minister to offer support to those affected by the fire.

“Pray for Wainwright, everyone,” Poilievre said in a social media post. He urged people in the area to follow emergency instructions and keep roads clear for first responders.

The fire also disrupted advance voting ahead of Monday’s referendum on whether Alberta should begin a process that could lead to independence from Canada. Elections Alberta said two polling locations, in Lloydminster and Vermilion, closed early Saturday and the ballots were transported securely.

“This midterm election, our democracy is on the line,” said voter Charmelle Gambile. “That’s the most important thing.”

Usually, the ‘No Kings’ protests denounce President Donald Trump’s policies and actions, however this year’s demonstration was different, focused on energizing voters to cast their ballot early.

In Florida, early voting sites across the state open up on Monday.

Meanwhile, Trump responded to the ‘No Kings’ demonstrations during a rally Saturday.

“They’re paid protesters,” said Trump. “They get paid to do that, they pay them $250 dollars. We have them all over the place, they stand up, they say something, they get $250. It’s disgraceful.”

According to the affidavit, the Broward Sheriff’s Office Threat Management Unit was notified on Aug. 21 of two social media postings on Facebook using the vanity name “elijahdmanley,” which investigators believe belongs to Manley.

Deputies said the posts contained threats of physical harm against two people. The reporting person provided screenshots of the messages to investigators.

One of the posts stated: “I’m talking to yall. I saw yall comments earlier. I’m already pissed off, do not piss me off more. I swear to God, take me to war over this black woman and I promise yall I will burn y’all mf castle to the ground and anyone else in my way,” according to the affidavit.

The affidavit states that the dispute appeared to stem from a disagreement over a political candidate and the parties’ differing positions on that candidate.

Investigators also documented additional Facebook messages allegedly posted by Manley, including one that stated, “This is the type of shii that will make me snap.”

Another message targeted people who did not support state Rep. Angie Nixon, according to the affidavit.

“Any of you that don’t support Angie Nixon, I promise you, I will make your life a living hell to the very end,” the message stated. “You better lineup behind the Democratic nominee like we always do.”

A separate post stated: “Every democrat needs to get behind the democratic nominee for Senate. Anybody not doing that, I promise you I’m going to cut your f---ing head off, according to the affidavit.

The affidavit states that investigators spoke with the victims, whose name were redacted from the document. One of the victims told deputies the comments had “placed her in fear.” She also said the Facebook account associated with “elijahdmanley” had previously been logged into at her home during fundraising activities, according to investigators.

Although the posts had been removed by the time investigators documented the case, authorities said the messages were made Aug. 20 between 8 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.

At least two people provided statements to deputies expressing concern for their safety, according to the affidavit.

Jail records show Manley was arrested and faces two counts of intimidation for allegedly writing or sending threats to kill or injure someone.

Manley was among several candidates who ran in the summer 2026 Democratic primary for Florida’s 20th Congressional District. He did not win the nomination.

The Broward State Attorney’s Office previously told Local 10 News that a judge issued an order outlining Manley’s bond conditions. The conditions include pretrial release, a prohibition on possessing weapons or ammunition, no contact with the victims and a prohibition on posting to social media.

The State Attorney’s Office also said it would not handle the case because of a conflict of interest.

In a statement to Local 10, the office said it had asked Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office to assign the case to another state attorney’s office because the listed victims had participated in charitable drives organized by the Broward State Attorney’s Office over the years.

Records show Manley was released from the Broward County Main Jail on Saturday morning after posting his $40,000 bond.

Manley’s counsel released a statement on Saturday regarding the situation:

“Mr. Manley has surrendered to authorities and has been released on conditions of bail. He denies the allegations. These are all allegations. The social media post in question was a discussion about politics that all parties had mutually engaged in over the course of weeks. We are confident that a trier of fact will see there is no intent to carry out any act of violence. It is unfortunate that our political differences have led some to weaponizing the police instead of using dialogue.”

Khurrum Wahid,

On Sunday morning, Local 10’s Samiar Nefzi was in Pompano Beach, along Northeast 20t h Avenue near Atlantic Boulevard.

Flooding was observed throughout the area, and it wasn’t just there.

Local 10 cameras also captured lots of water along Hallandale Beach Boulevard.

A little further west in Miramar, floodwaters were impacting traffic, with a slow early-morning rain keeping the area saturated.

It all comes after a very wet Saturday night, which also featured downpours during the big game between the University of Miami and Florida State at Hard Rock Stadium.

The Hurricanes took home the win, but the weather outside the stadium was quite a vibe for football fans.

Further south in Wynwood, the rain didn’t stop the beat at the Three Points Music Festival.

Rain is expected throughout Sunday morning, giving way to a windy afternoon.

Collecting the ball near the halfway line, the Brighton midfielder advanced just inside Crystal Palace's half and launched a 50-meter shot over stranded goalkeeper Walter Benitez and into the net for a spectacular goal in the seventh minute of the Premier League match at Amex Stadium on Sunday.

The Paraguay international's shot revived memories of a strike from a similar range from David Beckham when playing for Manchester United against Wimbledon on the opening day of the 1996-97 Premier League season.

It remains one of English soccer’s most famous goals and thrusted Beckham into the global spotlight.

Gomez's goal put Brighton 2-0 ahead against its biggest rival — and the team went 3-0 up three minutes later before running out a 5-0 winner.

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler said Gomez tried a similar effort in the 2-0 win at Sunderland last weekend.

“There the wind wasn’t perfect for this try,” Hurzeler said. "Now the wind was better for him.

“I’m really happy that he gets this reward for all of the effort he’s putting into the club, into his own development, and into the team.”

Although drier air is now filtering in there’s still a chance for a few showers moving through with blustery northeasterly winds bringing some residual moisture in off the ocean. Winds could get over 30 mph today and tomorrow especially right along the coast so a small craft advisory is in effect for boaters with a dangerously high risk of rip current at the beaches.

Drier air takes hold by Tuesday and Wednesday with mostly sunny skies, breezy, very pleasant weather. Rain chances could increase again by the end of the week so stay tuned for updates on that. Temperatures will be mild throughout the week with highs in the lower to middle 80s and overnight lows in the lower 70s with some 60s in the suburbs.

More than a dozen Indigenous representatives from Peru, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador are participating in the Oct. 19-23 U.N. conference on transnational organized crime, known as COP13.

The leaders want governments to tackle the financial networks behind environmental crimes while giving Indigenous peoples a greater role in protecting their ancestral territories and shaping a proposed international agreement.

Criminal networks threaten Indigenous territories

Galois Flores, a representative of Peru’s Autonomous Territorial Government of the Wampis Nation, told The Associated Press that illegal gold mining, logging and drug trafficking are putting growing pressure on Indigenous communities.

“Deforestation and pollution in the Amazon are no longer just environmental problems, but a crisis of transnational organized crime and security,” Flores said.

Mercury from gold mining is contaminating rivers used for fishing and drinking water, Flores said, while criminal networks have access to weapons, money and the ability to intimidate communities. In response, the Wampis have established two monitoring posts, each staffed by 14 Indigenous guards, to confront illegal mining. But those resisting criminal groups face threats and violence, Flores said.

Similar dangers confront the Kakataibo people in Peru’s central Amazon, where drug traffickers have established illegal coca plantations and processing laboratories in ancestral forests, according to Indigenous leaders. Marcelo Odicio, president of the Federation of Native Kakataibo Communities, said six Kakataibo leaders have been killed since 2020, while community representatives routinely face threats.

Across the border in Brazil, Francisco Piyako Apiwtxa, an Ashaninka leader, described threats from illegal logging, drug trafficking and roads used to transport illicit goods. In July, he said, at least five heavily armed, masked men entered an Ashaninka community, threatening families and searching for Indigenous leaders. Piyako said inadequate government protection has left Indigenous communities confronting criminal groups themselves.

“Our territories, our homes, our waters, the future of our children are at stake,” he said.

In Colombia’s southern Putumayo region, Indigenous leader Ingry Mojanajinsoy said armed groups that previously relied on drug trafficking for money are increasingly turning to illegal mining. Even when mining takes place outside Indigenous territories, she said, pollution travels downstream, contaminating rivers and fish that communities depend on for food.

At least 105 land and environmental defenders were killed in Latin America in 2025, accounting for 85% of the 124 killings documented worldwide, according to environmental and human rights group Global Witness. Colombia recorded 39 killings, followed by Brazil with 26.

Push for an international environmental crime agreement

The Vienna conference brings together countries working under a U.N. treaty to combat transnational organized crime. Governments are expected to consider launching negotiations on a new protocol addressing environmental crimes, including illegal mining, logging and wildlife trafficking.

Raphael Hoetmer, Western Amazon Program Director at Amazon Watch, said organized crime and illicit economies have become major threats to the Amazon, Indigenous peoples and the global climate.

He criticized governments’ reliance on military operations and raids, arguing they fail to address underlying causes and can leave Indigenous communities caught in the violence.

Instead, delegates want stronger Indigenous land rights, support for community-led territorial protection and a greater voice in international negotiations.

“The conference should not only agree to begin negotiating a protocol against crimes that affect the environment, but also ensure that Indigenous peoples are seriously consulted in the process,” Hoetmer said.

The U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime said it works with Indigenous communities across Latin America to combat organized crime and environmental threats, pointing to a project in Brazil that helps communities monitor illegal gold mining and work more closely with authorities.

The project has also helped lay the groundwork for a national system to detect and respond to environmental crimes, said UNODC spokesperson Alejandra Silva. The agency did not say whether Indigenous representatives would have a formal role in negotiating the proposed protocol.

Flores called for environmental crimes to be treated as seriously as drug and arms trafficking, including tracing illicit financial flows and disrupting markets for illegally mined gold. Odicio urged governments to recognize Indigenous territorial guards and protect threatened leaders.

Flores said isolated police operations are insufficient because illegal operators often return once security forces withdraw. Soldiers made a similar observation to AP during an illegal mining raid in Peru in August, saying miners would wait for troops to leave before restarting work.

“We do not want to leave future generations rivers poisoned with mercury, destroyed forests and communities controlled by criminal violence,” Flores said.

Trump did a “heck of a good job” back then, the 70-year-old school custodian said. But now Roethler laments an economy in which “it's the middle-class families that are taking the big hit" while Trump is “going to come out way ahead.” He scoffs at the Republican president's effort to win accolades such as the Nobel Peace Prize or a spot on Mount Rushmore.

“I think he has delusions of grandeur,” said Roethler, who plans to support Democrats next month in a state that has become a midterm battleground after Trump carried it by 13 percentage points two years ago. The president will return to Iowa twice before the election to rally supporters.

Democrats face a steep challenge in winning rural communities like this one in Chickasaw County, a onetime party stronghold that swung sharply to the right in the Trump era as a broader realignment swept through much of the agricultural Midwest. But by simply narrowing their losses with appeals to voters such as Roethler, Democrats hope to become newly competitive from Iowa and Kansas to Nebraska and Ohio.

Josh Turek, the Democrat running for a U.S. Senate seat in Iowa, said his party has “looked at this math problem incorrectly.”

“You've got to go out there in these rural counties and trim the margins,” he said in an interview.

Competitive races in states that usually aren't

Republicans know they are on defense in these states. Trump recently held a rally in Nebraska to boost U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts and will do the same for U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall in Kansas on Monday. Republicans are pumping money into both states before the Nov. 3 election.

Few places represent the party's challenge like Iowa, where Democrats are mounting spirited campaigns for governor, U.S. Senate and several U.S. House seats, including the 2nd Congressional District, which encompasses much of the state's northeast and was considered reliably Republican until recently.

With tariffs disrupting the agricultural economy and the war in Iran driving up gas prices — diesel surpasses $6 a gallon in Iowa — U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., swung through the district to ask voters to keep his fragile majority in place.

“This state is so important to us,” Johnson said in Cedar Falls.

The Republican erosion was evident about 45 miles north in New Hampton. A few houses away from Roethler, 69-year-old Bill Stonecypher voted for Trump in 2016, expecting him to apply his business acumen to governing. Now Stonecypher plans to vote for every Democrat on the ballot for the first time in his life.

“I just know it’s a mess and it’s going to take years to fix," he said.

Another neighbor, 70-year-old Deb Thorne backed Trump in 2024 but said he hasn't followed through on his pledge to lower costs.

“He lied to us,” she said. “I’m looking more at Democrats for everything.”

How a candidate for governor is reaching beyond the party base

Democrats in Iowa are buoyed by Rob Sand, the state auditor whose campaign for governor is built on explicit overtures to independents and disaffected Republicans.

A few dozen people gathered recently in an American Legion hall in St. Ansgar, a square-mile town near the Minnesota border. Sand opened by describing a “pretty standard upbringing” centered on hunting, fishing and church.

He distanced himself from the fighting over cultural issues that has bogged down the national party. A few heads in the room nodded as he spoke of opposition to transgender girls playing on female sports teams.

“All that stuff was stuff that nobody was talking about back when we were in high school," said Sand, whose opponent is Republican Zach Lahn, a political newcomer.

The only reason he was a Democrat at all, Sand said, was that he had to pick a party to participate in primaries and he thought Democrats were stronger on issues like clean water and protecting public land.

Jim Wherry, a Republican member of the Mitchell County Board of Supervisors, attended the event and said Sand “has a pretty good chance.”

“My big thing is sometimes things get focused on urban areas,” he said. “So I like that he's actually incorporating rural Iowa.”

Sand, who has won two statewide elections as state auditor, said he's received support from voters who also backed Trump.

“One of the things that people who vote for both of us find in common is that we say what we think and we're dissatisfied with the political system,” he said.

Democrats are boosting rural investments

Democrats are stepping up their rural investments. The Democratic Governors Association has directed $10 million each to campaigns in Iowa, Georgia, Ohio and Wisconsin and could spend elsewhere ahead of the election.

“What I see is a map that has grown and grown and grown and that is good for Democrats,” Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, who leads the DGA, said in an interview.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which is focused on retaking the House, launched a rural engagement program for the first time this election cycle, including polling, paid media and staff. The group has made a six-figure investment in television advertising in Iowa's 2nd Congressional District alone.

Democratic candidate Lindsay James, a chaplain who often speaks of her faith to connect with voters, could see a boost because the district includes Sand's hometown of Decorah. She's competing against Republican Joe Mitchell, a former state representative who worked in the Trump administration.

In an interview, James said she was “committed to showing up everywhere.” When asked why Democrats lost rural voters in previous elections, she was blunt in her assessment.

“Democrats in Washington have left the Midwest behind," she said.

Economic concerns could give Democrats an opening

The economic headwinds in Iowa could give James and other Democrats an opening.

A poll conducted in August by The Associated Press, in partnership with KFF, found that rural voters in the United States are economically frustrated with Trump. About half of rural voters believe the national economy is “worse off” than when Trump returned to office in January 2025. The survey found about 6 in 10 rural voters disapprove of Trump's handling of the war with Iran.

Still, the survey found that rural voters were unlikely to support Democrats on a large scale in November.

Mark DeVries, a 64-year-old farmer in Franklin County, Iowa, said he does not agree with everything Trump does and acknowledged the president's tariffs have hurt his business. But he said he was sticking with Trump and Republicans.

“He's doing stuff that needs to get done,” DeVries said of Trump.

Campaigning with Mitchell, Johnson drew on that loyalty to Trump to warn of the consequences of Democrats regaining control of Congress. A Trump impeachment, he said, “is the first thing that would happen.”

But the Democrats hoping to go to Congress avoided being drawn into that fight.

Turek said he had “no interest” in impeachment and that Democrats “need to look forward, not back."

James, who has made fighting corruption a campaign theme, said she's “not interested in political theater.”

“I'm certainly interested in accountability,” she said. “But I'm singularly focused on policies that are going to provide, immediately, relief for families.”

The 28-year-old maintenance technician from Casa Grande, Arizona, voted for the Republican president expecting to get a thriving economy and no wars.

Instead, gas prices are so high that Martinez returned one of his vehicles to the lender, he shifted his food shopping to a discount grocer and he has watched as the United States has spent months in conflict with Iran.

“He’s doing nothing for us, to benefit us," Martinez said. "And it kind of sucks because I got duped and I feel like a dummy.”

As a group, Latinos shifted toward Trump two years ago, helping return him to the White House with a Republican-controlled Congress. Now, many like Martinez are souring on the president and his party, which could upend the balance of power in Washington in the Nov. 3 elections.

“I went right for a while, but I’m back to the middle," Martinez said.

The path to a U.S. House majority runs through heavily Latino districts in states such as Arizona, Colorado and Texas, where Democrats are counting on disaffected Trump supporters to swing back their way. It is unclear, however, whether Democrats have sealed the deal with voters who lack strong allegiance to either party.

Martinez, for one, is not sure if he is going to vote at all in the midterms.

An Arizona farming town faces a transition

Casa Grande, the town of 70,000 people where Martinez lives, sits at a crossroads between Phoenix and Tucson, an hour’s drive from each. There is a quaint downtown surrounded by master-planned developments offering affordable housing for people priced out of larger cities. Gated golf-course communities attract retirees.

Much of the town sits at the northern tip of Arizona’s 6th Congressional District, historically one of the most closely matched in the country. Republican Juan Ciscomani is seeking a third term. Two years ago, Ciscomani won by 2.5 percentage points and Trump won by less than 1 point.

This time, Ciscomani is subtly creating distance from Trump without directly criticizing the president or his policies. The congressman talks up his immigrant story — he was born in Mexico and moved to the U.S. as a kid — and frames himself as independent and bipartisan.

“I’m not a rubber stamp for anyone,” he says in one advertisement.

If Ciscomani retains his seat, it will be thanks to people like Chris Durant, 61, who has been voting for Republicans in recent elections and will probably do so again next month.

“We really don’t worry about gas and prices and what not,” Durant said as he and his wife loaded their pickup with groceries for his mother-in-law.

Ciscomani's Democratic opponent is JoAnna Mendoza. The former Marine emphasizes her own hardscrabble upbringing as the daughter of immigrant farmworkers who worked the fields close to Casa Grande.

“People trust you if they know that you came from the community and understand their way of life,” Mendoza said in an interview earlier this year.

Most Hispanic voters disapprove of Trump

Trump made broad gains among Hispanics during the 2024 campaign that returned him to the White House.

Back then, about 7 in 10 Hispanic voters were “very concerned” about the cost of food and groceries, slightly more than about two-thirds of voters overall, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters nationwide. Trump had a clear advantage among those voters.

Now, about 6 in 10 Hispanic voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of the presidency, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll from October. More than 7 in 10 disapprove of his performance on the economy.

An AP-NORC poll conducted in September showed that Hispanic voters are more concerned than voters overall about the cost of groceries and housing, and 70% blame Trump's policies more than factors outside his control for higher prices.

Their potential shift away from Republicans this year would be driven by anti-Trump sentiment, not a love of Democrats, said Mike Madrid, a political consultant who wrote “The Latino Century,” a book about Latino voters, and co-hosts “The Latino Vote” podcast.

Latinos are in the midst of a “dealignment,” rejecting strong associations with both parties because neither is speaking effectively to working class economic concerns, he said.

“The Latino electorate is moving from a racial-and-ethnic voting bloc to an economic, pocketbook, class-based voter,” Madrid said. “And the party that figures that out first is the party that will probably dominate for the next generation.”

Hispanics are about evenly split on their view of the Democratic Party, according to the October AP-NORC poll. Their views of the Republican Party are more negative, with 55% having an unfavorable view and 38% having a favorable one.

The economy is at the center of a Colorado contest

On a recent morning in Denver, Democratic state lawmaker Manny Rutinel stood before a crowd of union carpenters and rolled up his sleeve to show off a scar. The mark is from when he sold his blood more than 100 times to make ends meet.

“I’m the son of a single mom. She came to America to give me the American Dream. We worked hard for this country,” Rutinel told the boisterous crowd that fanned out to canvas for him in one of the country’s most-watched races.

Rutinel is challenging Republican Rep. Gabe Evans in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, which stretches from blue-collar Denver suburbs to energy-rich farm and ranchland in the northern stretch of the state. Latinos are the district’s single largest ethnic group, and both the incumbent and challenger are Hispanic. Evans won by less than 1 percentage point while Trump won by 2 points.

Rutinel has focused relentlessly on the economy since winning the nomination.

“The folks around the district feel they’ve been lied to and betrayed,” he said in an interview.

Evans, a 40-year-old former police lieutenant, has portrayed Rutinel as having a record as a left-wing activist and liberal lawmaker.

“Go ask any Hispanic in the district, do you think we should secure the border? Do you think we should get rid of the bad guys? Do you think we should help the good guys? They'll say yes,” Evans, whose grandfather was a Mexican immigrant, said in an interview.

Jose Montalvo, a 47-year-old trucker, voted for Evans even though he supported Democrat Kamala Harris for president in 2024. He likes to split his ticket between the parties but does not think he will do that this year after he needed to change insurers and cellphone providers to save money.

Montalvo is frustrated by Trump's handling of gas prices, saying “I blame him for the fuel side of things." That is a criticism he extends to all Republicans.

Maria del Carmen Rojas, a naturalized citizen who has lived in the United States for 36 years, said she is shocked that any Latinos could back Trump and a modern Republican Party that she thinks regularly denigrates immigrants.

She has four children who are U.S. citizens, including a son who served in the war in Afghanistan. She has spent her life working in factories and serving as a nanny to raise her children. Now she struggles to buy groceries.

“We Latinos contribute very much to this country, the taxes we pay, the service we provide,” she said.

Frustration mounts in Texas' Rio Grande Valley

A wooden sign that said “need prayer?” sat on a table with free Bibles along a busy suburban walking trail in Edinburg, Texas, on a hot October evening.

The town is part of the state's 15th Congressional District, which Trump carried by 18 percentage points but is now viewed as a top Election Day battleground.

Standing behind the table, Thomas Centrella, 42, said he has grown disillusioned with politics and finds himself fast-forwarding through campaign advertisements. Even though he tends to vote Republican, he might not in the future.

During Trump's first term, Centrella said, “I feel like he was going in a good direction, but I think now that it’s just gotten weird.” He doubts he would ever vote for a Democrat but said he might skip elections or turn independent in the future.

Maria Elsa Gonzalez, who is retired, said she will again support the district's Republican congresswoman, Monica de la Cruz, instead of Democrat Bobby Pulido, a Tejano music star. Speaking in Spanish, Gonzalez said Pulido “doesn’t have any preparation other than a pretty face and the fame of singing pretty.”

Priscilla Olivarez, 46, a public education teacher who was walking the trail is undecided in the midterms. She grew up as a Democrat and voted Republican in the last presidential election. Today, she is disappointed with an economy where costs seem to be growing faster than wages and she often digs into her own pocket to help pay for things in the classroom.

“I stand independent right now because I don’t agree with either side right now,” she said.

Riccardi reported from Denver and Gonzalez from Edinburg, Texas.

The 25th-seeded Spaniard had lost the first five finals of his career, including the Monte Carlo Masters in 2022.

His other titles this year came on grass in Mallorca in June and at the Chengdu Open in China last month. Both were ATP 250 tournaments.

He clutched the Shanghai trophy tightly and then kissed it.

“I don’t have any words right now,” Davidovich Fokina said. “I have a blank mind. I don’t know what to say and I don’t know how I feel. Just a huge relief.”

Davidovich Fokina was close to going out of the tournament, saving a match point in the third round against three-time U.S. Open semifinalist Frances Tiafoe. He then rallied from a set down against future No. 1 Alexander Zverev in the semifinals.

The 20-year-old Spaniard Rafael Jodar, seeded No. 12, was also appearing in his first Masters 1000 final and looked set for a second career title following a dominant first set.

But like against Zverev, Davidovich Fokina fought back again.

He used his court speed to break back to 3-3 in the second set, retrieving a drop shot by pushing a backhand pass down the line, despite being off balance. He fell on his back and spread his arms out to celebrate winning that point.

Jodar called for a trainer at 4-3 in the third set and had a massage on his right thigh.

In the next game, he grimaced in pain and clutched his left foot after slightly twisting it when running to the net. He then had a massage on his left thigh at the changeover.

“In the third set, maybe I had a bit more fitness physically,” the 27-year-old Davidovich Fokina said. "He's an amazing player and it was very tough to play against him.”

He won on his second match point when Jodar, who beat former Shanghai champion Daniil Medvedev in the semifinal, could not return his serve.

Macron echoed other government officials in blaming much of the violence on far-left activists, accusing them of attacking police and public buildings to foment chaos.

“Those who looted will have to pay for the damage, and those who sought to bring down the Republic will be held accountable,” Macron said in a televised address to the nation.

He denounced “unrestrained violence” by “insurrectionist elements from radical far-left groups, joined by numerous criminals.”

Macron earlier held an emergency meeting with senior government officials, a day after masked groups set fires and attacked city halls in several cities. He said he had instructed prefects to work with mayors to protect public buildings and businesses in the coming weeks, including by banning protests when necessary.

Flames engulfed the 19th-century City Hall in the city of Limoges, in central France, causing its roof to collapse and nearly destroying the building.

New tensions erupted in Paris on Sunday

In Paris, hundreds of protesters gathered again on Sunday at the Place de la République amid a heavy police presence. Officers used tear gas as tensions flared sporadically in the neighborhood, with small groups of people trying to set bicycles and trash bins on fire.

“The right to protest is a fundamental right. Deliberately and collectively sowing disorder through violence is not,” Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez wrote on X, citing the looting of hundreds of businesses across the country.

Authorities estimated Saturday's marches had a turnout of about 550,000, while organizers put it at 800,000. Demonstrators answered calls from a labor union, student organizations and activists hoping to revive the “yellow vest” movement, which emerged in 2018 to protest social injustice.

Mass protests in France are often marred by violence on the fringes of otherwise peaceful marches, leading to clashes with police. The arrest tally reported Sunday approached the nearly 2,000 recorded nationwide during a single day of yellow vest protests in December 2018.

Paris police said one person died of a heart attack, without providing details. The Paris prosecutor’s office said it was investigating.

Parisians deplore shattered shops and a damaged square

Dislodged cobblestones, shattered storefronts and broken glass littered the area around Paris’ Place de la République on Sunday. Looting and damage were also reported in other tourist and shopping districts.

Paris police said 855 people were arrested in the capital region. Prosecutors said 557 remained in police custody.

“I am actually stunned by the level of destruction and violence that was expressed,” said government employee Marie Peyreigne, 57, wondering what had led to the mayhem.

Parisians inspecting the damage photographed the partially dismantled base of the square’s central monument, a statue of Marianne, a symbol of France.

Jean Foissy, 74, said he had wanted to join the protest but encountered “a wall of riot police and fires everywhere” and returned home.

“I was very scared,” he said. “I’ve been a Parisian since I was born, so when I got here, it almost made me want to cry because I find it so bad, it hurts me.”

Margaux Eude, 26, said she supported the protest movement but “didn’t think it would escalate like this.”

“It’s the troublemakers who came, and it breaks my heart because it delegitimizes the movement,” she said.

Political leaders trade blame ahead of presidential election

Political leaders traded accusations over Saturday’s violence ahead of next spring’s presidential election.

Far-right leader and presidential hopeful Marine Le Pen criticized Macron's centrist government as “exhausted, disoriented and seemingly incapable of doing anything other than commenting on its own powerlessness,” in a video posted on social media.

Far-left contender Jean-Luc Mélenchon accused Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu of “playing with fire,” alleging that “by banking on degradation, you have only succeeded in uniting all youths and workers’ unions.”

Mélenchon, who joined the Paris march Saturday, insisted that “my message is clear: those who share our fight have no business in looting or destruction.”

U.S. President Donald Trump posted “France is burning!” on his Truth Social platform, apparently linking the unrest to “the immigration of people from an entirely different world.”

“Close your Borders and take control, before it is too late!” he wrote.

French authorities and police have not linked immigrants to the rioting. Macron, speaking about troublemakers, asked: "How can French people do this to France?”

Hundreds of businesses looted across the country

“The scale of the damage is considerable and unprecedented,” Paris Mayor Emmanuel Grégoire wrote in an open letter. “Paris is a city of freedoms, debate and demonstrations. It must remain so. But it must also be a city where everyone can work and run a business safely.”

The mayors of Paris, Marseille and Lyon, the three largest cities, requested a meeting with the prime minister in the coming days “given the extent of the damage and the seriousness of the situation.”

In Marseille, some protesters briefly forced their way into City Hall's lobby and a group of people wearing hoods and masks damaged a police station. In Lyon, a fire broke out inside a tourist office.

In Limoges, the City Hall was ravaged by flames after “radical troublemakers” broke in while elected officials, employees, security personnel and members of the public were inside, Haute-Vienne prefect Maurice Barate said. “They deliberately set the building on fire. It is an extremely serious and unspeakable act,” he said.

In eastern France, the Mulhouse prosecutor’s office said an investigation has been opened after a 17-year-old girl was injured during the protests and lost an eye. On Saturday, another investigation was opened after a young protester lost a hand in Saint-Etienne.

The injuries come as police have drawn sharp scrutiny over their use of grenades and other riot-control weapons during recent demonstrations.

The strikes came as tensions between Kyiv and Washington deepened, with U.S. President Donald Trump criticizing Kyiv’s attacks on Russian oil infrastructure and the prospect of further U.S. sanctions against Moscow still uncertain.

Trump said Sunday that he decided to hold off on implementing new sanctions on Russia because he doesn’t “want to do anything that will drive, foolishly, Russia away from the bargaining table.”

In a social media post, the U.S. president defended his Friday order to issue a waiver to prevent new sanctions from being placed on Moscow from bipartisan criticism that he was favoring Russian President Vladimir Putin’s interests over those of Ukraine. Trump said he believed new sanctions would undermine negotiations to bring about a diplomatic end to the war in Ukraine.

“I can sign it later, or any time that I want!” Trump added of the sanctions.

Trump also lashed out at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has been critical of Trump’s recent outreach to Putin, for launching strikes on Russian energy infrastructure during the conflict, claiming Zelenskyy “doesn’t want to end this war.”

Zelenskyy: Waiving sanctions strengthens Russia

Speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press” earlier on Sunday, Zelenskyy said waiving sanctions against Russia would strengthen Putin’s war effort. He also said U.S.-Ukraine intelligence sharing had resumed after being “blocked for some period of time.”

Zelenskyy said that while he trusted Trump, siding with Moscow would be a tragedy and a “historic mistake” for Washington.

“People want to forget what’s going on. But we can’t give this possibility to forget, or to change reality, or to change the truth,” Zelenskyy said. “We can’t compare me and Putin. He’s (an) aggressor. He occupied us. He killed adults and children, his soldiers. He’s a terrorist. And that’s why I hope that President Trump will be very clear with this position.”

Later Sunday, Zelenskyy said on social media that he had spoken with U.S. presidential envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner about the results of an Oct. 9 meeting between U.S. and Ukrainian negotiating teams in Miami, as well as “next steps in diplomacy.”

Two killed as Russia and Ukraine trade blows

One person was killed and five others were wounded in the St. Petersburg attack, which sparked fires at the Petersburg Oil Terminal and the city’s Ruchi oil depot, local Gov. Alexander Beglov said. A logistics center belonging to Russian retailer Ozon and a data center operated by Russian tech giant VK were also targeted, the companies confirmed.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said Sunday that its forces had destroyed 1,015 Ukrainian drones over 15 Russian regions, the annexed Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea and the Black Sea.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told Russian state news agency Tass that Kyiv was “resisting” Moscow’s invasion but could not “change the current course of events.”

Meanwhile, in Ukraine, a woman was killed and a 6-year-old girl was among at least two other people wounded in two Russian attacks on the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, local officials said Sunday.

Russia continues energy attacks, Kyiv says

Trump announced on Oct. 11 that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an “energy ceasefire” in the 4½-year-old war, but offered no details. Kyiv reported Russian attacks on energy sites continued after Trump's announcement, and on Thursday said it had resumed strikes on Russian oil facilities after a three-day pause.

Zelenskyy wrote on X on Sunday that Russia had attacked Ukraine’s energy, oil and gas sectors 76 times in the week since Trump’s announcement. The Ukrainian government initially said it was observing the ceasefire.

Energy facilities in four Ukrainian regions were struck overnight, leaving tens of thousands of families without power, he said, accusing Russia of trying to cause a blackout.

“America should see that Russia is not taking any reciprocal steps in response to sanctions relief or agreements. On the contrary, they take every signal of an opportunity to make money as proof that their bet on war is paying off and they can keep fighting,” the Ukrainian president wrote.

Ukraine apology to Lithuania over drone alert

Ukraine's Foreign Ministry apologized on Sunday after a drone entered Lithuania’s airspace, prompting authorities to issue an air raid warning.

Russian electronic warfare may have diverted the drone during a Ukrainian operation against legitimate military targets in Russia, ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi said in a statement.

Lithuanian authorities urged residents in two northern counties along the Latvian border to take cover early Sunday because of a possible drone incursion, public broadcaster LRT reported.

A drone entered the northern Pasvalys region and damaged a moving car, LRT said, citing Lithuania’s National Crisis Management Center. No injuries were reported.

The crowd erupted in cheers when the pontiff showed himself in the window overlooking the square, where a week ago on the same occasion of the traditional Angelus blessing he revealed that a nodule had been located on his lung, and that it would be surgically removed.

’’Now that this delicate phase is behind me, I will gradually resume my activities, always with God’s help and your prayers," Leo said, his voice sounding strong four days after the lower lobe of his right lung was removed.

The pontiff said the experience of the last week “has made me feel especially close to those facing illness and infirmity.” He told the faithful that he had ‘’truly felt your support,'' and expressed ‘’particular gratitude to the doctors, nurses and all the staff at Gemelli hospital'' where he was treated.

The pope paused for a moment and waved to the crowd before retreating into his apartment in the Apostolic Palace.

A delegation from Africa in Rome for a congress danced and ululated after the pope’s blessing.

‘’He was always in our prayers when he was sick, and we are happy to see him today,″ said Alain Kalembu of the Democratic Republic of Congo. ″This is an expression of our joy.″

The 71-year-old pontiff had the lower lobe of his right lung removed on Tuesday in the first major health event of his 17-month pontificate. The surgery confirmed he had adenocarcinoma, the most common type of lung cancer.

He told a reporter in English that he was doing ‘’much better’’ as he drove away from Rome’s Gemelli hospital to return to the Vatican, after a shorter hospital stay than had initially been anticipated.

“I don’t believe it, because he was just operated on the other day,” Cosimo Mastrocinque, a retired factory worker visiting the Vatican from the southern region of Puglia, said. “It is a miracle that he recovered already.”

American tourists were especially eager to pray alongside the first pope born in the United States. Marla Marsala of Michigan was supposed to attend a Mass with the pope last week that was canceled due to his hospitalization.

‘’I am just happy that we are praying with him today instead of for him, like we were before,’’ Marsala said. "It was a tough week for all of the people who love him, which are many. He seems like a very strong soul. So I think he will pull through and fight it, and succeed and keep doing the wonderful work he is doing.''

Claire Holland from Jacksonville, Florida, said she felt “very blessed” to be present for the pope’s return to his flock.

“I’m so happy that he has recovered so quickly. I think there have been millions and millions of prayers. And he is a strong, determined man, and I am so happy that he is feeling well enough to do this,” Holland said.

Leo's next major engagement is an ambitious Nov. 6-17 trip to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru, including a dozen flights and two helicopter rides to high altitudes. His surgeon, Dr. Stefano Margaritora, told Vatican News on Saturday that "there are no clinical reasons why it should not take place.”

“The Holy Father has put his heart and soul into his recovery,” Margaritora told Vatican News, adding that he expected the pope to recover fully from surgery “in another 10 days or so.”

Histological testing of the tumor and related lymph nodes was underway. The results, along with details of the tumor’s molecular and genetic makeup, will help doctors determine whether the pope needs additional treatment. Options include chemotherapy, a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, or targeted oral therapy based on the tumor’s genetic characteristics.

Meanwhile, the U.S. ambassador to Israel condemned a settler attack on an American journalist that left her needing surgery, in some of the latest violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

Here is the latest news from the Middle East on Sunday. Read our full coverage here.

Airstrike kills at least 9 in rebel-held Yemen

An airstrike killed at least nine people, including five children and two women, in Yemen’s northern province of Saada, the Houthi-run Health Ministry said.

Spokesperson Anees al-Asbahi said in a statement the strike hit a house in Sahar district and also wounded 19, including 11 children. Some were in critical condition, he said.

Al-Asbahi blamed Saudi Arabia for the strike. There was no immediate comment from the Saudi government.

The fighting has reignited Yemen’s civil war after four years of ceasefire.

US ambassador condemns settler attack on American journalist

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee sharply condemned settler violence during an olive harvest in the West Bank that injured several Palestinians and Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine as “a despicable act of terror carried out by masked cowards.”

In a post on X, he called for “a full investigation, arrest, and prosecution to the fullest extent of the law to whoever participated in this.”

Levine was seriously injured in the attack Friday in the village of Abu Falah. Israeli police are also investigating an attack by Israeli settlers on European diplomats Saturday in another West Bank village.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was ambiguous in addressing Levine’s assault, condemning “violence against anyone” but referring to the attack as “alleged” and saying its circumstances remain unclear. Huckabee noted that Levine was clearly identified as a journalist.

Saudi helicopter crashes near border with Yemen, killing pilots

A Saudi helicopter gunship crashed in southwestern Saudi Arabia, killing its two-member crew close to the border with Yemen, due to a technical malfunction, a Saudi military spokesperson said. The helicopter crashed near the city of Najran, in an area that has been caught up in fierce fighting between the Iran-backed Yemeni Houthi militants and a Saudi-led coalition.

Coalition spokesman Maj. Gen. Turki al-Maliki made the statement hours after the Houthis claimed to have downed the Saudi helicopter.

The Houthis, a Shiite religious and political movement rooted in northern Yemen, are attacking Saudi Arabia because it supports Yemen’s internationally recognized government in the civil war. The Saudis have struggled to counter the latest attacks, even with far superior U.S.-supplied arms.

Egypt agrees to provide defense support for Saudi Arabia

Egypt’s National Defense Council, which decides on high-level military and security affairs, has agreed to support its close ally Saudi Arabia in the major escalation of fighting between the kingdom and the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen.

Chaired by President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, the council decided to provide “all possible forms of support” to enable Saudi Arabia to defend its security and stability, according to a statement from the Egyptian presidency.

It didn’t provide further details, but the council said it will also continue diplomatic efforts with regional and international parties to de-escalate the conflict.

Iran's top diplomat says Tehran is reviewing US response

Iran’s top diplomat says his country is reviewing Washington’s response to its latest proposal to end the eight-month war. U.S. President Donald Trump publicly rejected it, but further indirect messaging has continued.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had said the strait would reopen in a week if the U.S. agreed to lift its blockade of Iranian ports, release frozen Iranian assets and waive sanctions on Iranian oil sales, among other conditions.

Araghchi said if the U.S. complies with those conditions, the strait would open on the sixth day and negotiations would begin on the seventh day.

Iran approves new defense minister, vows to defend itself

Iran appointed Mehrdad Akhlaghi, a longtime official in the defense industry, as the new defense minister. His predecessor, Aziz Nasirzadeh, was killed on the first day of U.S.-Israeli attacks Feb. 28, along with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several senior Iranian military commanders.

During a confirmation hearing, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed that Iran would not yield to pressure or demands from other countries. Akhlaghi vowed that any miscalculation from Israel or the U.S. would prompt a “surprising and extensive” response.

World Food Program cuts aid to many in Gaza

The acting executive director of the U.N. World Food Program, Carl Skau, said Sunday the program has been forced to reduce the number of people receiving assistance in Gaza by half a million people, from 1.6 million to 1.1 million, as winter approaches, citing funding challenges.

“Life is at a standstill, it is absolutely brutal,” Skau said during a visit to the Palestinian territory just over a year after a fragile ceasefire took effect. Most of the population still relies on aid.

WFP says food rations have been halved and cash assistance has been reduced for 75,000 families across Gaza, and daily hot meals have dropped from 250,000 to 150,000.

Skau said some people in Gaza eat just once a day and do not have fresh food, vegetables or cooking gas.

This report will be updated throughout the day as new developments emerge.

Digital price tags are rapidly replacing paper ones in grocery aisles. Artificial intelligence tools help businesses decide what to charge by predicting how customers might respond. Terms like “dynamic pricing” and “surveillance pricing” are stirring anxiety on social media, where users wonder if different people are getting different prices for the same product.

Americans have grown accustomed to changing prices when booking flights, hotel rooms and rides, but the prospect of everyday spending shaped by algorithms they don’t understand and personal data they may not realize they’re sharing has touched a nerve.

“There are major tensions happening right now between who’s really going to have the power with some of these algorithms and usage of bots and AI: the companies or the shopper,” said Katie Thomas, who leads an internal consumer behavior think tank at the management consulting firm Kearney.

Companies using the technology say some concerns stem from misconceptions about how their pricing tools work. Walmart CEO John Furner said in a blog post last month that digital price tags save workers’ time and keep prices up to date. He said the labels aren’t used to raise prices based on the weather, time of day or individual shopper.

“We price the product, not the person,” Furner wrote.

But companies aren't always transparent about the customer data they collect and how it's used, which has made consumers suspicious and led to speculation. For example, social media posts falsely imply that electronic shelf labels Walmart plans to put in all its U.S. stores scan shoppers’ faces or cellphones to set individualized prices, Thomas said.

Lawmakers and regulators are taking action. Legislators in at least 30 states have considered pricing bills this year, including measures addressing algorithmic and personalized pricing, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

The Federal Trade Commission has proposed an enforcement policy warning businesses that failing to disclose their use of personal data to set individualized prices could violate consumer protection law.

Here are some of the pricing practices and technologies drawing scrutiny.

Dynamic pricing can raise and lower prices

What it is: Dynamic pricing means adjusting prices in response to changing market conditions, including supply and demand. An airline that adjusts ticket prices as departures approach is using dynamic pricing. Uber's practice of lifting fares when demand outstrips the supply of available drivers, such as during rush hour, is a type of dynamic pricing known as surge pricing.

Why it matters: Frequent price changes extend well beyond food. Decodo, a web data company, tracked price changes in 2025 across products ranging from electronics to clothing and home improvement supplies. About half the U.S. changes it recorded were decreases, contrary to consumers’ assumptions that dynamic pricing only raises prices, said Gabriele Vitke, a senior product marketing manager.

Digital price labels are coming to more US stores

What they are: Digital displays that let stores update shelf prices electronically instead of replacing paper tags.

Why it matters: Digital price labels, long used in Europe and Asia, are drawing more attention as they spread to major U.S. retailers like Walmart and Whole Foods. Consumer advocates have argued that digital labels could eventually be used for surge pricing or personalized pricing. Labor unions also have opposed the technology.

The electronic shelf labels make frequent changes easier but don’t necessarily lead to higher prices during periods of strong demand. Retailers typically update electronic shelf prices on a regular schedule, often weekly, because shoppers value consistency, said Asa Farquhar of Relex Solutions, a retail technology company. Researchers who tracked prices at an unnamed grocery chain found “virtually no surge pricing” after the labels were introduced.

“Changing prices throughout the day, the way airlines or rideshare apps do, is exceedingly rare in grocery and general merchandise today,” Farquhar said.

Personalized pricing, also called surveillance pricing, draws on customer data

What it is: Personalized pricing means offering customers different prices and discounts based on their locations, incomes, web-browsing habits and other information about individuals or groups of shoppers. Some advocacy groups and regulators use the term “surveillance pricing" for the same practice.

Why it matters: It’s unclear how widely businesses use personal information to customize prices. An FTC staff report released in January 2025 found that intermediaries offering tools that can tailor prices and promotions worked with at least 250 clients, including grocery and clothing retailers.

Lawmakers in Maryland, New Jersey and Connecticut recently enacted restrictions on using shoppers’ personal data to determine what they pay. The Maryland and New Jersey laws focus on groceries, with exceptions for certain loyalty discounts and other promotional offers. Connecticut’s legislation covers a broader range of retail purchases.

California prosecutors sued Target in 2022, alleging that the retailer's app displayed lower prices before shoppers entered stores and raised them once they were inside.

Target agreed to a $5 million settlement and a ban on using so-called geofencing technology to increase prices.

Target said the app functionality at issue was used to “provide guests with accurate pricing, which can vary across stores and channels.” The retailer said it didn't personalize prices based on a guest’s data or behavior and remains “committed to clear, transparent pricing.”

Different prices do not necessarily mean personal data was used. Last year, an investigation by Consumer Reports, Groundwork Collaborative and More Perfect Union found that shoppers on Instacart were shown different prices for identical products at the same stores. Instacart subsequently ended what it described as tests that randomly assigned shoppers to groups rather than setting prices based on their personal information.

Algorithmic pricing gets an assist from AI

What it is: Algorithmic pricing uses software to recommend or automatically set prices. Companies have used such systems for decades. AI can help the software identify patterns in sales, competitors’ prices and other information to predict demand and estimate how different prices would affect sales and profits. These tools can support both dynamic and personalized pricing.

Why it matters: It’s unclear how widely retailers use AI to help set prices, but research suggests businesses across industries are adopting it.

Simon-Kucher, a global consulting company, surveyed more than 2,200 business leaders in 28 countries and 39 industries last year, and 41% said they used AI software to gather market intelligence, including competitors’ prices. Another 28% said they used it for “real-time price optimization.” Price optimization means choosing prices that advance business goals, such as increasing profits, attracting shoppers or clearing unsold goods.

The National Retail Federation, which represents big and small stores, said algorithmic pricing is a new method of doing what retailers have always done: monitor and adjust prices depending on supply, demand, seasonality, competitors' prices and other factors.

Some lawsuits have alleged companies used pricing algorithms to undermine competition.

A 2023 anti-monopoly lawsuit the FTC brought against Amazon challenged, among other practices, an algorithmic tool codenamed Project Nessie. The agency alleged Amazon used the tool to identify products whose prices it could raise with competitors likely to follow, generating more than $1 billion in excess profits.

A trial is scheduled for next year. Amazon said the FTC allegations “grossly mischaracterize” the pricing tool.

Project Nessie was intended to stop retail price-matching practices from creating unsustainably low prices, the e-commerce giant said. Amazon said it tested the tool for a few years but it didn't work as intended and was scrapped before the federal agency's lawsuit.

A recent consumer lawsuit against McDonald’s alleged that its pricing system use nonpublic sales data from competing locations to coordinate prices. The Chicago-based burger giant said the lawsuit was “filled with inaccuracies” and that the company makes the tool available to U.S. franchisees to help them set prices at their individual restaurants.

El huracán de categoría 2 registraba vientos máximos sostenidos de 155 kilómetros por hora (100 millas por hora) y se desplazaba hacia el noroeste a 9 km/h (6 mph), según el NHC.

El centro de Trudy debe mantenerse cerca de la costa mexicana hasta la noche del domingo antes de desplazarse al sur de la península de Baja California el lunes y martes.

El NHC señaló que se tiene previsto que Trudy pierda fuerza rápidamente en las próximas horas, pero que “los intereses en el suroeste y el centro-oeste de México, así como en Baja California Sur, deben seguir monitoreando” su avance.

La Marina de México instó a los navegantes y a los residentes costeros a extremar precauciones debido al oleaje elevado, las lluvias intensas y el riesgo de crecida de ríos, inundaciones y deslaves.

Autoridades de Colima señalaron que los riesgos seguían siendo bajos, pero advirtieron que las lluvias fuertes podrían causar daños porque el suelo ya estaba saturado por tormentas sucesivas que han pasado por la costa del Pacífico.

Se esperaba que Trudy dejara entre 10 y 20 centímetros (de 4 a 8 pulgadas) de lluvia durante el fin de semana, con acumulados aislados de alrededor de 30 centímetros (12 pulgadas) a lo largo de la costa y en zonas cercanas en Michoacán, Colima y Jalisco. El centro de huracanes advirtió sobre inundaciones y deslaves potencialmente mortales, especialmente en áreas con terreno escarpado.

Tifón Champi se aleja de Guam

También en el Pacífico, el tifón Champi se alejaba de Guam el domingo tras pasar cerca del extremo sur de la isla, con vientos sostenidos de 225 km/h (140 mph). Para última hora de la tarde del domingo, se encontraba a 418 kilómetros (260 millas) al oeste de Guam y avanzaba hacia el oeste a 19 km/h (12 mph), según el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional de Estados Unidos.

Champi debe debilitarse el domingo aunque luego podría fortalecerse hasta convertirse en un tifón de categoría 5 para la noche del lunes, informó la Agencia Federal para el Manejo de Emergencias (FEMA, por sus siglas en inglés), que forma parte del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional de Estados Unidos.

Se cancelaron todas las vigilancias y alertas por ciclón tropical para Guam, Rota, Tinian y Saipán.

Los gobernadores de Guam y de las Islas Marianas del Norte solicitaron declaraciones de emergencia por desastre el viernes.

El presidente Donald Trump aprobó una declaración de emergencia para Guam el sábado, autorizando a FEMA a coordinar todos los esfuerzos federales de ayuda por desastre. La entidad anunció que había asistencia federal disponible para el territorio de Guam a fin de complementar las labores de respuesta local tras el tifón Champi.

Se cerraron aeropuertos, puertos y algunas instalaciones de salud en los territorios. Es poco probable que la ayuda llegue a las islas antes de tres a cinco días, según la FEMA.

Los territorios aún se recuperan de los súper tifones Sinlaku y Bavi, que impactaron en abril y julio, respectivamente.

The Category 2 storm had maximum sustained winds of 100 mph (155 kph) and was moving northwest at 6 mph (9 kph), according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center.

Trudy’s center was expected to remain near the Mexican coast through Sunday evening before passing south of the Baja California Peninsula on Monday and Tuesday.

The hurricane center said that Trudy was expected to weaken rapidly later Sunday but “interests in southwestern and west-central Mexico, as well as Baja California Sur, should continue to monitor” its progress.

Earlier, the Mexican navy urged mariners and coastal residents to exercise extreme caution, citing high waves, heavy rain and the risk of rising rivers, flooding and landslides.

Authorities in Colima said the risks remained low but warned that heavy rainfall could cause damage because successive storms had already saturated the ground along the Pacific coast.

Trudy was expected to bring 4-8 inches (10-20 centimeters) of rain through the weekend, with isolated totals of around 12 inches (30 centimeters) along and near the coast in Michoacan, Colima and Jalisco. The hurricane center warned of potentially life-threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in areas with steep terrain.

Typhoon Champi blows away from Guam

Also in the Pacific, Typhoon Champi was moving away from Guam on Sunday after passing close to the island’s southern tip, packing sustained winds of 140 mph (225 kph). By late Sunday afternoon, it was 260 miles (418 kilometers) west of Guam and moving west at 12 mph (19 kph), according to the U.S. National Weather Service.

Champi was forecast to weaken Sunday before potentially strengthening into a Category 5 typhoon by Monday evening, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, said.

All tropical cyclone watches and warnings for Guam, Rota, Tinian and Saipan had been canceled.

The governors of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands requested emergency disaster declarations on Friday.

On Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump approved an emergency declaration for Guam authorizing FEMA to coordinate all federal disaster relief efforts. FEMA announced that federal disaster assistance was available for the territory of Guam to supplement local response efforts following Typhoon Champi.

Airports, harbors and some health facilities in the territories were closed. Relief supplies were unlikely to reach the islands for three to five days, according to Saturday updates from FEMA.

The territories are still recovering from super typhoons Sinlaku and Bavi, which struck in April and July, respectively.

The wildest and wackiest week of the college football season so far saw five of the top seven teams lose — a first in the AP poll's 90-year history. Miami and BYU were the biggest beneficiaries of the chaos and were joined by Ohio State in a tightly bunched top three.

The Hurricanes took over the top spot from Georgia, which lasted one week at No. 1 after losing to Auburn at home. The Bulldogs were the second No. 1 team in two weeks — Texas was the other — to lose to an unranked opponent.

Miami survived end-of-game drama to beat rival Florida State in double overtime and stay unbeaten. The Hurricanes' two-spot jump made them No. 1 for the first time since the 2002 season ended in the national championship game against Ohio State.

The Hurricanes received 40 of the 70 first-place votes from the media voting panel and were just 22 points ahead of BYU, which won a thriller at home over Notre Dame. The Cougars got 20 first-place votes and were 26 points ahead of Ohio State. The Buckeyes got nine first-place votes and were well ahead of No. 4 Notre Dame and No. 5 Georgia.

Miami is the first No. 1 team from the Atlantic Coast Conference team since Clemson in 2020. Other than Clemson, there had not been another ACC team ranked No. 1 since Florida State in 2014.

BYU went into its game against Notre Dame as a 10.5-point underdog and came out with a 28-24 win to go 6-0 for a third straight year. Since their championship season 42 years ago, the Cougars hadn't been higher than No. 4 in a poll or in the top five since 1996.

Every single spot in the Top 25 has a new team this week, but only two teams dropped out of the rankings. A wholesale shakeup of the top 10 did not happen largely because Notre Dame, Georgia and No. 6 Indiana had built-up capital with their 6-0 starts, plus the losses by the Fighting Irish and Hoosiers were against top-10 opponents.

Indiana, which lost at home to Ohio State, was followed by Mississippi, Texas Tech, UCLA and Utah. Texas Tech received the remaining first-place vote.

Alabama's loss at Tennessee dropped the Crimson Tide seven spots to No. 13 and Texas plummeted 12 rungs to No. 19 after its home loss to Florida.

In and out

In: No. 20 Florida, which dropped out last week after consecutive lopsided losses, is back after going to Texas and handing the Longhorns a second loss in a row.

In: No. 25 Arizona, which had an open date, has four straight double-digit wins since losing to BYU and makes its season debut in the poll.

Out: Oklahoma State's loss at Houston brought an end to the Cowboys' three-week run in the poll.

Out: Mississippi State got bounced for the 31-0 loss at LSU that followed a 23-point home loss to Alabama.

Poll points

— The last time the SEC's top team in the rankings — it's No. 5 Georgia this week — was behind teams from each of the other power conferences was Dec. 3, 2023, when Alabama was No. 5 behind teams from the Big Ten (Michigan), Pac-12 (Washington), Big 12 (Texas) and ACC (Florida State).

— The last time the Nos. 1 and 2 teams lost in the same week in the regular season was 2017, when No. 1 Alabama lost to Auburn and No. 2 Miami lost to Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving weekend.

— The last time unranked teams knocked off No. 1s in consecutive weeks was 1990. Miami hosts unranked Pittsburgh on Saturday.

— No. 9 UCLA has matched its highest ranking since 2022 and No. 14 Houston has its highest ranking since it was No. 11 at midseason in 2016.

Conference call

SEC (9 ranked teams): No. 5 Georgia, No. 7 Mississippi, No. 11 Tennessee, No. 12 Kentucky, No. 13 Alabama, No. 18 LSU, No. 19 Texas, No. 20 Florida, No. 22 Missouri.

Big Ten (6): No. 3 Ohio State, No. 6 Indiana, No. 9 UCLA, No. 15 Iowa, No. 16 USC, No. 24 Northwestern.

Big 12 (5): No. 2 BYU, No. 8 Texas Tech, No. 10 Utah, No. 14 Houston, No. 25 Arizona.

ACC (3): No. 1 Miami, No. 17 Wake Forest, No. 23 SMU/

Pac-12 (1): No. 21 Boise State.

Independent (1): No. 4 Notre Dame.

Ranked vs. ranked

No. 7 Mississippi at No. 19 Texas: The Rebels have found their footing after that 24-point loss to Florida, outscoring Vanderbilt and Missouri by a combined 83-20. Longhorns are reeling and might have a new QB this week.

No. 14 Houston at No. 10 Utah: The Cougars have beaten one ranked team each of the last three seasons and will go for a second against an unbeaten Utah team that escaped Colorado as a 15.5-point favorite.

The 21-year-old was 23 of 33 for 264 yards with one sack and one interception in the Bruins' 17-7 victory over Wisconsin on Saturday night in his first start of the season.

“What a warrior, all the way around,” Bruins coach Bob Chesney said. “To stand in there and have the confidence to do what he did, the third-down throws that he was able to make and see the game clean as can be, it was a really reassuring day.”

Dieffenbach took over in the second half of last week's win at then-No. 13 Oregon after Nico Iamaleava injured his leg. He leapfrogged Maddon Iamaleava, Nico’s younger brother, on the depth chart.

“We all were very confident in him and felt like he can have this type of game,” Chesney said. “He sees the game well, he throws a nice football, he's accurate, he's on time.”

The Bruins (6-0, 4-0 Big Ten) are sure to move into the top 10 on Monday, a stunning turnaround from last year when they won just three games and coach DeShaun Foster was fired after an 0-3 start.

“We're just getting started, for real,” Dieffenbach said.

Dieffenbach commanded the Rose Bowl field, where he used to attend games with his older brother who was a UCLA student. Among the 36,045 fans on Saturday was a contingent from his hometown of Agoura, about 38 miles away.

“It was awesome seeing all them show up,” he said. “I love all them and I appreciate them.”

Hearing “California Love” blare from the speakers before the fourth quarter, with lights flashing and fans holding up four fingers in the school's traditional 4's Up gesture, brought back memories for Dieffenbach.

“Five years ago I was sitting in the stands like watching guys do this, and now I'm there," he said. “It was just special to me.”

Dieffenbach traveled a circuitous route to Westwood. In high school, he began as a wide receiver but impressed his coach with his throwing in practice enough that he switched to quarterback to fill a need.

He moved on to Pitt, where in two seasons he never appeared in a game. The Panthers wanted him to move to tight end, but he wanted to remain a quarterback, so he hit the transfer portal.

Dieffenbach headed back to California, ending up at Cal Poly in the central coast town of San Luis Obispo. He started nine of 11 games, throwing for 1,305 yards, nine TDs and nine interceptions while rushing for 321 yards and four scores.

In January, he transferred to UCLA, where Chesney had just arrived from James Madison tasked with reviving the once proud program.

The Badgers bottled up UCLA's run game while cutting the lead to 10-7 going into the fourth quarter, but Dieffenbach stayed cool. He made clutch throws and converted third downs in a gutsy performance.

“His confidence never wavered and our confidence in him never wavered,” Chesney said. “His belief in himself and his receivers certainly stood out.”

He has 3,000 Arabic songs on his smart phone. His wife, an American, learned from his mother how to cook the Lebanese dishes he loves. When he speaks with his siblings, he uses a mixture of Arabic and French, like many citizens of Lebanon, a former French protectorate.

The once-thriving Lebanese Jewish community has been largely forgotten in the decades since most of them left the country. But the latest Israel-Hezbollah war — which pushed Lebanon and Israel into direct negotiations — has brought them under the spotlight again.

Last month, Israel agreed to release five civilians detained by Israeli forces in southern Lebanon in exchange for Lebanon's help in searching for the bodies of Lebanese Jewish leaders abducted and killed in the 1980s, during Lebanon’s civil war.

The news stirred painful memories for Lebanese Jews like Abadie, 65, who was born and raised in Beirut to parents who moved to Lebanon from Syria. Abadie left his country of birth at 10 and settled for some years in Mexico. He is now based in Dubai, serving as the senior rabbi emeritus of the United Arab Emirates and the Gulf states.

He remembers the Lebanon of his childhood in the 1960s in its “best days” with “beautiful beaches and rivieras, mountain resorts, skiing resorts.”

His family, like many Lebanese Jews, left as anti-Jewish sentiment rose after the 1967 war between Israel and Arab countries. Security fears have kept him away since, but Abadie hopes to come back one day to reopen Beirut's long-shuttered central synagogue.

“It is unfortunately a sad reality that, since Lebanon and the Jews go back over 3,000 years from the time of King Solomon and King Hiram of Tyre and their peaceful and friendly relations, the situation in the last 50 years marked such a decline in Jewish population and life in Lebanon,” he said.

A once-thriving community has scattered

Nada Abdelsamad, a Lebanese journalist who wrote two books about Lebanon’s Jewish community, said the country once had between 18,000 and 20,000 Jews, many of them living in the central Beirut district of Wadi Abu Jmil, which was nicknamed the Valley of the Jews.

After the war surrounding the creation of Israel in 1948, many Jews fled other Arab countries like Syria and Iraq, where they faced increasing discrimination and sometimes violence, and came to Lebanon, a religiously diverse country where they felt safer. Some were then smuggled into Israel, but many stayed in Lebanon.

That changed after the 1967 war in which Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt and the Golan Heights from Syria in addition to east Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Lebanon was polarized between pro-West groups and others that supported Palestinian factions and Egyptian leader Gamal Abdul-Nasser.

In 1969, Lebanon and Palestinian factions signed the Cairo Agreement, allowing the Palestinian groups to operate freely in Lebanon.

“From that day on, the Jewish community in Lebanon felt very insecure and threatened,” recalls Abadie. “We started seeing marches and protests in the streets of Lebanon, chanting, ‘Death to Israel and to the Jews.’”

His family left.

The situation deteriorated further after the outbreak of the Lebanese civil war in 1975. With kidnappings by armed groups rampant, prominent figures from Lebanon’s dwindling Jewish community were taken by force from their homes, work or the streets. An organization calling itself the Organization of the Oppressed on Earth — believed to be linked to Hezbollah — was blamed.

Former Jewish leaders are among 17,000 missing since the civil war ended

At least seven Jews are among the 17,000 missing Lebanese people whose fate remains unknown decades after the 15-year war ended, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

The Jewish news agency says they include Isac Sasson, then-president of Lebanon’s Jewish community; doctor Elie Hallak, known for treating people from all religious sects at his Beirut clinic; and Salim Jamous, the Jewish community’s former secretary general. Several others were confirmed killed and their bodies recovered at the time.

Lebanese officials have not announced any breakthrough in discovering the fate of the missing Jews. It's not clear what will be done with their remains if they are found.

“In the end these are Lebanese citizens, and there is a legal process if they want to move them outside the country,” said Bassem El Hout, an attorney representing Lebanon's Jewish community.

Asked about Israel's interest in the disappeared Lebanese Jews, Doron Spielman, a spokesperson for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, said, “Israel, as the nation-state of the Jewish people, has a profound and enduring responsibility to Jews throughout the world" which “does not end at Israel’s borders, nor does it end with death.”

A small community remains

Judaism is still one of Lebanon’s 18 officially-recognized religious sects, but only a handful of Jews remain. El Hout said no one knows the exact number. Abadie estimated that about 20 Jews are scattered across the country.

“Not all of them profess publicly about their Jewish religion, except for maybe to close friends and neighbors," he said.

On voting lists of Lebanese citizens, about 4,000 Jews are still listed in Beirut and about 1,000 in the southern port city of Sidon, but many are likely living abroad.

El Hout said there are five remaining synagogues in Lebanon, the oldest of which is in Sidon.

A sign reading “the Jewish quarter” still stands in the narrow alleyways of Sidon’s old quarter, where the synagogue and some Jewish-owned homes are shuttered.

Taleb Kara Ahmed, who wrote several books about the city's Jewish community, said many left to Latin America before Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon. When Israeli troops withdrew from Sidon in 1985, the last Jews left with them, taking copies of the Torah from the city’s synagogue, he said.

The current head of Lebanon's Jewish community, Samo Behar, declined to be interviewed or to give The Associated Press permission to film inside the shuttered century-old Maghen Abraham Synagogue in Beirut, which was damaged during the civil war and renovated nearly two decades ago.

History left people with complicated identities

Dany Liniado left months after the outbreak of the civil war in 1975. She moved through several countries, including Israel, eventually settling in Mexico, which has a significant Lebanese Jewish diaspora. Many Lebanese Jews settled in the U.S., France and Brazil, as well as in Israel.

Two months after she left Lebanon, her father was detained in Beirut and beaten by gunmen who referred to him as “an Israeli agent,” before a prominent Lebanese politician secured his release and advised him to leave the country.

“When he reached me in Milan, he was not the same person,” Liniado said.

She has no plans to return, even to visit.

“For me, it's too late,” she said.

She cooks Lebanese dishes, listens to Lebanese songs and is proud of her “Lebanese DNA.” But now her identity is complicated. She lived in Israel for six years and also identifies as Israeli. Despite recent negotiations between their governments, the two countries remain officially at war.

“I am a Lebanese Jew but now I am everything. I can be Israeli, I can be French, I can be Mexican. You know what, I am a citizen of the world,” Liniado said by telephone from Mexico City. “I’m a Jewish citizen of the world."

Associated Press writer Natalie Melzer contributed to this report from Nahariya, Israel.

Fundora stopped Ermal Hadribeaj with a left hand at 2:59 of the 12th round Saturday night at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas to retain his WBC super welterweight title.

Fundora (25-1-1, 17 KOs) had his fourth successful title defense and handed Hadribeaj (23-1-1) his first professional loss.

“It was an interesting fight,” Fundora said. “I had to go back and fight on the inside and show everyone again that I can still do that. It was dramatic to knock him out at the last second. But we’ll go back to the gym and fix some things.”

Fundora entered the bout looking toward a chance to unify the 154-pound division, but first had to get past a stubborn mandatory challenger.

Hadribeaj attacked the body early, crouching beneath Fundora’s punches and landing looping shots over the top. Fundora caught him in the second round, and Hadribeaj increasingly turned to holding to disrupt the champion’s offense.

Hadribeaj lost points for holding in the third and 11th rounds. Fundora found room for uppercuts inside and applied pressure through the middle rounds before delivering the decisive left in the final second.

“I told the ref in the fourth round that I was hurting him,” Fundora said. “I kept landing body shots and was looking for that special shot to get him out of there.

“I was hitting him in the rib cage the whole time with the left hand and when I went up the middle, I heard the noise that he made. So I just kept touching that and knew it would break him.”

Fundora, 28, has won five straight since Brian Mendoza knocked him out in April 2023. The 6-foot-5 southpaw from Coachella, California, captured the WBC and WBO titles against Tim Tszyu in March 2024, then stopped Chordale Booker, Tszyu and Keith Thurman in successive defenses.

“I want to go for undisputed in this division,” Fundora said. “We’ll break either Jaron Ennis or Josh Kelly down. Just like the last guy and the guy before that. We’ll keep breaking them down.”

Hadribeaj, an Albanian fighter based in Miami, earned his title opportunity with a victory over previously unbeaten Bakary Samake earlier this year.

In the co-main event, Armando Resendiz (17-3) outlasted Australia’s Koen Mazoudier (16-5-1) by unanimous decision in a 10-round super middleweight bout. The judges scored it 98-92, 97-93 and 97-93.

Resendiz landed punishing left hands through the middle rounds, but Mazoudier kept trading inside and rallied late. Resendiz finished strongly, sending Mazoudier stumbling backward in the final minute.

“We pulled this off because we had great preparation,” Resendiz said. “This was the kind of fight that I expected. I had to change my game plan and box and move a little bit because this was a very tough fight.”

Marco Romero (16-0, 14 KOs) stopped Matias Ferreira (8-4) with a crushing right hand at 1:54 of the first round in their scheduled eight-round super middleweight bout.

“He was too slow,” Romero said. “His speed and experience didn’t matter.”

Jaime Osuna (12-0) remained unbeaten with a majority decision over Cristian Cangelosi (13-1-1) in an eight-round middleweight bout.

“It was a fight that took everything I had from beginning to end,” Osuna said.

This tour is intended to promote U.S. economic and security ties with Central and South Asia. But it has only tangential links to the Trump administration’s current main foreign policy dilemmas in the Middle East and with the Russia-Ukraine war.

Rubio has been unapologetic about his role as both President Donald Trump’s chief diplomat and national security adviser and has brushed aside suggestions that he is eschewing the most difficult issues in favor of taking on lower-hanging diplomatic fruit with less risk of failure and political damage.

“It's an important relationship,” Rubio told reporters Saturday before departing Washington, noting that he selected a time when the Central Asian leaders would be able to meet. “One of the things that suffers is the strategic visits — you’re always visiting someplace where there’s a crisis or there’s a problem, or you’re going because there’s a conference, but there’s countries you'd like to get to because we want to build our relationships with them.”

The State Department pushed back on any criticism of Rubio's schedule. It says Rubio's “responsibility is not to generate a public profile around every challenge; it is to help the president develop and execute a strategy that advances American interests. Some of the most consequential diplomatic work takes place outside the public spotlight.”

In both roles, Rubio must also "look at these challenges as part of a larger strategic picture,” the department said in a lengthy emailed reply to queries from The Associated Press. “The Iran, Gaza, and the Russia-Ukraine conflicts each demand serious attention, but they cannot be approached in isolation from the president’s broader national security objectives. The right question is not whether the secretary is visible enough on a particular issue.”

Rubio is involved in many things at once

Rubio is involved in behind-the-scenes discussions on Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, Russia-Ukraine and China, although he has not been the public face of any of them. The Republican president's special envoys such as Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner and Tom Barrack have taken the lead on those matters.

The State Department says there is nothing unusual about this and maintains that Rubio “hasn’t shied away from any issue.”

"He’s directly involved and serves as a trusted and capable adviser to the president on what matters most,” the department said. “While he has multiple jobs, he isn’t the White House press secretary and his job isn’t to be in the press 24/7.”

Rubio has concentrated on Latin America, particularly Venezuela and Cuba, bolstering ties with a new generation of Trump-friendly conservative leaders and shoring up relations with NATO allies nervous about the administration’s intentions toward Europe, especially in the Arctic.

Delegating onerous and particularly time-consuming challenges is not new for secretaries of state. When Hillary Clinton was in office during Democratic President Barack Obama’s first term, she appointed former Sen. George Mitchell, D-Maine, to handle the Israeli-Palestinian file and veteran diplomat Richard Holbrooke to steer the Afghanistan-Pakistan portfolio.

Both Clinton and Rubio had made runs for their parties’ respective presidential nominations before becoming secretary of state, and both had and have clear political ambitions for their post-diplomatic careers. Rubio, however, bristles at any discussion of his political intentions. He has refused to discuss speculation about the subject or on the more delicate topic of a rivalry with Vice President JD Vance over who might succeed Trump at the helm of the “Make America Great Again” movement.

Rubio’s most recent foreign travels have avoided the world’s main hot spots, although they have focused on areas in which the administration has shown particular interest. Rubio’s aides are quick to point out that the secretary plays a key role in interagency discussions on all national security matters and has been a major behind-the-scenes actor in most, if not all, discussions on the administration’s diplomatic strategy.

Since the beginning of this month and before his current travels to Uzbekistan and India, Rubio went to Iceland, Greece and Portugal. Before that, he visited Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.

Rubio's schedule "is driven by the president’s foreign policy and national security priorities, not by a desire to focus on some regions at the expense of others,” the State Department said. “Every trip, meeting, and diplomatic engagement has to serve a purpose within that broader strategy. Sometimes that means addressing an immediate crisis; other times, it means building relationships, advancing economic and security partnerships, or addressing emerging challenges before they become more difficult to manage.”

His travel agenda is being critiqued

Still, some former senior U.S. diplomats have found fault with his travel agenda.

“None (of these places) is where American foreign policy is being made,” said Ivo Daalder, U.S. ambassador to NATO under Obama. “The trip fits a pattern. Twenty months into the job, Rubio has largely avoided the capitals, the crises, and the negotiations that define the office.”

In a lengthy critique, Daalder wrote that Rubio, as both secretary of state and national security adviser, either has too much on his plate or “has calculated that his future is best served by keeping clear of policies likely to end badly. Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, and China are all candidates.”

On negotiations over big topics such as the Middle East, Russia and Ukraine, and China “the Secretary of State is not in the room where they happen,” he said. “For allies, the message of Reykjavik, Athens, and Lisbon is clear. The secretary will come to see you when you are not the problem. When you are, call someone else.”

Rubio and his staff take umbrage at such assessments.

Rubio’s No. 2, Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau, fired back at Daalder, saying it was typical of the turgid thinking of the foreign policy establishment — the one that he, Rubio and Trump are trying to remake.

“In this view, a U.S. secretary of state is only ‘supposed’ to travel to NATO capitals because a successful U.S. foreign policy is what makes diplomatic counterparts in Paris, Berlin, and Brussels raise a champagne toast to ‘shared values’ while flinging open their borders, destroying their economies and apologizing for Western civilization,” Landau wrote, denouncing the suggestion that Latin America is not worth the secretary’s time.

“This smug approach led not only to predictably catastrophic results in the Western Hemisphere but also in Europe itself, where the combination of moral vanity and strategic incoherence also proved toxic,” Landau said. “But sure: keep holding your academic seminars, writing your unread articles, awarding each other meaningless prizes, and looking down your noses at Donald Trump and Marco Rubio.”

“Look at this beautiful guy," Trump said at a Saturday rally in Kentucky, referring to U.S. House candidate Ed Gallrein, a former U.S. Navy SEAL with an angular face who stood nearby the stage. “Central casting.”

That's a common refrain from Trump, who owned the Miss Universe beauty pageant and grew his clout on the reality television show “The Apprentice” before entering politics. Aesthetics have long been part of the president's measuring stick, either as a source of praise or target for ridicule.

Now, Trump is deploying his handsomeness appraisals as he boosts Republican candidates in a midterm election which already includes debates over which candidates are more masculine. The outcome will determine whether Republicans keep control of Congress or Trump faces emboldened Democratic opposition in Washington.

Soon after Trump touted Gallrein's beauty on Saturday, he mentioned Sen. Jon Husted, the Ohio Republican running for reelection, and described him as “a perfect person, good-looking guy.”

“I examined his ass,” said Trump, eliciting laughter. “I never did that with a man before. I examined his ass. And then I looked at his shoulders. I looked at his feet. I looked at his hand. I looked at his jawline."

It was a reprise of Trump's droll assessment from an earlier rally in Ohio, when he also touted Husted's past as a college football player.

Not all Republicans are so lucky, as Ken Paxton has learned.

“I don’t really like the way he looks,” Trump said about the Republican Senate candidate in Texas during the party's midterm convention as Paxton stood nearby grinning.

Trump previously said that “it’s so insulting to him, but I might as well say it." He added that Paxton's conservative record as attorney general “speaks a lot louder than the suit he’s wearing that doesn’t look so great.”

Democrats are far from safe from the president's visual judgments. Trump says Paxton’s opponent, Democratic candidate James Talarico, reminds him of Alfred E. Neuman, the freckled, gap-toothed MAD magazine mascot.

And he had a disparaging assessment of Sen. Jon Ossoff, a Democratic heartthrob with a jawline rivaling Husted's. Trump compared him to Pee-wee Herman, the comedy character with a waxy face and widow's peak, while rallying for Ossoff's opponent, Rep. Mike Collins, in Georgia on Friday.

“Somebody said, 'He's a good-looking man,' I don't think he's a good-looking man,” Trump said. “I actually think Mike Collins is a good-looking man, and he's all man.”

He then moved on to Republicans' nominee for Georgia governor.

“And I actually think that Rick Jackson is a very handsome, distinguished, beautiful-looking guy," Trump said.

"But anyway."

He's on his own.

Sure, father Carlos, a two-time NBA All-Star and 13-year veteran, is just a phone call or text away. The biggest difference on the court and in daily life is twin brother Cayden isn't in Memphis with him. Cadyn stayed in college at Duke when Cam decided to enter the NBA draft.

“The biggest thing is just not going through the tough moments and the great moments with him,” Boozer said during the Grizzlies' training camp. “But I mean me and him are prepared for this. We played with a lot of players over the years, and I think it’s exciting for both of us. Both of us having a new step in our journey.”

That first step came in June when the Memphis Grizzlies made Cam Boozer the No. 3 overall pick hoping the 6-foot-10, 250-pound forward is the key piece for a franchise rebuilding yet again through the draft. That could be a lot of pressure on someone who just turned 19 with one year of college at Duke.

Luckily, growing up a Boozer has helped Cam prepare for this moment.

“Oh, man, I definitely think it helped for sure," Boozer said. "I think at the end of the day, everybody has to get tossed into it, and I think it helps you get prepared hearing your parents give you advice and things like that, but at the end of the day, you’ve got to go through it yourself.”

Grizzlies leaning into Boozer's versatility

Boozer slides into a young Grizzlies roster that includes center Zach Edey, Cedric Coward, Jaylen Wells, Scotty Pippen Jr. and G.G. Jackson. Memphis execs rave about all that Boozer brings with his shooting, rebounding, toughness and focus on winning.

“That’s what we want him to keep focusing on ...,” general manager Zach Kleiman said. “He’s obviously going to play a significant role. We’ll give him what he’s ready for. I suspect he’ll, as he always has, he’ll find a way to make even more of an impact than people expect of him.”

The Grizzlies aren't ready to define exactly what Boozer will do, giving him some freedom to slide out to the perimeter and shoot from outside. The AP men's player of the year averaged 22.5 points a game and grabbed 10.2 rebounds a game in his only season at Duke. He also shot 39.1% outside the arc.

“Not going to put him in a box, not going to say anything that he won’t be able to do,” Kleiman said.

Coach Tuomas Iisalo expects Boozer to have an adjustment period and that the rookie will play inside as well as in the post. Iisalo likes Boozer's ball-handling skills giving Memphis versatility in and around the paint. Boozer averaged 4.1 assists at Duke.

“His passing already is at a very, very high level, and I think that is something we will definitely utilize whether he’s a handler, whether he’s a receiver in screening situations,” Iisalo said.

Betting favorite for NBA Rookie of the Year

Boozer at least has a teammate who understands being a second-generation NBA player. Pippen's father, Scottie, had six championships with Chicago, and the Grizzlies guard has been impressed with how the rookie doesn't really make mistakes.

“He’s been someone that, on both ends of the floor, he kind of has it all,” Pippen said. “I think he’s someone that’s going to hopefully change this franchise and do a lot of good things for us.”

Boozer joins a Memphis squad that revamped its roster with big trades sending away Jaren Jackson Jr. and Ja Morant earlier this year. The rookie sees his young teammates eager and motivated to make their mark on the league.

The Grizzlies forward already is a betting favorite to be the NBA Rookie of the Year, which would be Memphis' first since Morant in 2020. Boozer said he knows achieving any goals like Rookie of the Year depend on winning, so that's what he's focused on doing.

That's part of the advice his father gave him to stay in each moment.

“When you get caught looking ahead and you want to do this or you want to do that, you kind of lose focus of today,” Boozer said. “The biggest thing, if you maximize today, you’re going to put yourself in a good position for those things.”

A sea of orange filled the stadium, with nearly 67,000 fans in attendance despite rain that fell for much of the day.

The atmosphere matched the intensity of a rivalry game that remained undecided until Miami defensive back Bryce Fitzgerald intercepted a pass in the second overtime to preserve the Hurricanes’ victory.

Quarterback Darian Mensah threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns, while freshman running back Javian Mallory rushed for 108 yards and two scores. Wide receiver Malachi Toney caught 10 passes for 151 yards and a touchdown as Miami found its footing after a frustrating first half.

Miami opened the game with an efficient scoring drive, capped by Mark Fletcher Jr.’s 7-yard touchdown run. The offensive line created a sizeable opening on the left side, allowing Fletcher to reach the end zone untouched.

Mensah connected with tight end Elija Lofton on the first play of the drive and later found former Duke teammate Cooper Barkate for a 13-yard gain on third-and-9. A 30-yard reception by Toney helped extend the possession before Fletcher put the Hurricanes ahead.

Florida State responded after Miami defensive back Zechariah Poyser was ejected for targeting on a 14-yard run by quarterback Ashton Daniels. The ejection was an early setback for a Miami secondary that was already dealing with injuries.

The Seminoles capitalized on a defensive penalty when Chase Smith was flagged for a face mask on third-and-18. Daniels then found tight end Desirrio Riles on a screen pass for a touchdown to tie the game at 7.

Mensah answered with one of Miami’s most impressive plays of the night. Escaping pressure and rolling to his left, he found Daylyn Upshaw for a 44-yard gain. A play-action pass to Toney later produced Mensah’s 16th touchdown pass of the season and gave Miami a 14-7 lead.

Florida State tied the game before halftime when Daniels kept the ball for a 2-yard touchdown run. The Seminoles had matched Miami’s production despite entering the break with the Hurricanes holding a narrow 220-214 advantage in total yards.

Miami’s first-half performance was marred by penalties. The Hurricanes committed six for 61 yards, including an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, while Poyser’s ejection further complicated their defensive plans.

The second half brought more trouble for Miami.

Mensah threw his first interception of the season on a deep attempt toward Barkate in the end zone, with Florida State defensive back Ashlynd Barker in coverage.

Miami turned to its ground game, and Mallory responded with runs of 25 and 17 yards as the freshman repeatedly found openings along the offensive line. But the Hurricanes’ drive stalled when Mensah’s fourth-down pass to Mallory fell incomplete.

Florida State took advantage. Daniels found running back Quintrevion Wisner on a screen pass that turned into a 28-yard touchdown, putting the Seminoles ahead 21-14.

The Seminoles’ defense continued to frustrate Miami, stopping Fletcher on fourth-and-1 to force a turnover on downs.

Miami finally responded with a big play from Toney, who caught a 35-yard pass from Mensah before taking a handoff for a 30-yard run to set up the Hurricanes inside the 5-yard line. Mallory finished the drive with a touchdown to tie the game.

The Hurricanes then regained possession after Ethan O’Connor forced a fumble by Wisner and cornerback Xavier Lucas recovered it.

Miami moved downfield behind a 15-yard catch by Upshaw and a 14-yard run by Mallory. Toney added another first-down reception before Mensah found Lofton for a touchdown, completing one of the Hurricanes’ best drives of the night.

Florida State needed only one play to answer.

Daniels connected with Duce Robinson for a 75-yard touchdown, beating Lucas in one-on-one coverage to tie the game and send it toward a dramatic finish.

Miami had a chance to respond but went three-and-out, and the Hurricanes punted rather than putting together a final scoring drive in regulation. The teams headed to overtime tied at 28.

In the first overtime, Daniels found Robinson for a 20-yard touchdown pass on third-and-5, giving Florida State a 34-28 lead. Miami answered with another rushing score from Mallory, who took a draw play, made a defender miss and raced 25 yards into the end zone to tie the game at 35.

The game moved to a second overtime, where Mensah found Upshaw for 20 yards before connecting with Toney for a touchdown. On the two-point conversion, Toney took a handoff and threw to Barkate, extending Miami’s lead to 43-35.

Florida State still had an opportunity to answer, but Miami’s defense delivered when it mattered. Defensive back Omar Thornton, who had a rough night in coverage, brought Daniels down for a 6-yard sack, putting the Seminoles in a difficult situation.

Florida State appeared to convert a fourth-and-20 into a 36-yard touchdown, but a holding penalty wiped out the score. On the ensuing play, Fitzgerald snatched Daniels’ pass to the endzone out of Robinson hands, ending the Seminoles’ comeback attempt and sealing Miami’s victory.

Mallory’s emergence proved crucial for Miami, particularly after Mensah’s interception and the Hurricanes’ struggles to establish consistency through the air. The freshman finished with 13 carries for 108 yards and two touchdowns, providing a spark when Miami needed it most.

Toney was equally important, finishing with 151 receiving yards and a touchdown while also contributing as a runner and passer.

Miami’s victory came despite a series of missed opportunities and defensive lapses that allowed Florida State to remain in contention throughout the night.

It was a night where the Hurricanes’ pass defense struggled and allowed 298 yards pass and four touchdowns to Daniels.

But the Hurricanes’ ability to make big plays in overtime and force a decisive turnover ultimately helped them avoid an upset and potentially move into the No. 1 spot in the college football rankings after Notre Dame, Georgia, Alabama and Texas all lost on Saturday.

The last time Miami was No. 1 in the AP Poll was in the 2002 season.

Up next:

Miami (6-0) hosts Pittsburgh (5-2) on Oct. 24. Florida State (3-4) has a bye before hosting Clemson (4-2) on Oct. 31.

The Fighting Irish’s last chance to win the game, an incomplete pass in the end zone from inside the 10-yard line with time running down, shouldn’t have been the final play, according to the Big 12.

“Following the Big 12’s review of the final play of Saturday’s Notre Dame-BYU game, it was determined that time remained on the clock when the ball hit the ground and the play was incorrectly cleared by the replay officiating crew,” the Big 12 said in a statement. “The Conference will conduct a complete review of its end-of-game officiating process in advance of next week’s games.”

The thriller capped a wild Saturday in which five of the top 8 teams in the AP Top 25 lost on the same regular-season day for the first time, per Sportradar. Paired with No. 1 Georgia’s 27-24 loss to Auburn, the top two teams in the country lost on the same day for the first time in the regular season since Nov. 17, 2012.

Bachmeier ran for two TDs, caught another and had 224 yards passing to help the Cougars (6-0) beat the Irish for the first time since 2004. Preston Rex added 66 yards on 10 carries to help BYU start 6-0 for the third consecutive season.

The Cougars earned their first win over a top-10 opponent since 2018.

“We’re tired of being disrespected,” Bachmeier said. “We know who we are. This was a great win for sure.”

After Bachmeier’s go-ahead score, CJ Carr completed several clutch passes to drive the Irish (6-1) into Cougar territory, including a fourth-down pass to Micah Gilbert that put Notre Dame at the BYU 9 with four seconds left. His final pass fell incomplete in the end zone.

“We had them on the ropes, and we couldn’t find a way to finish,” Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman said. “They found a way to get a stop when they needed it the most.”

The Irish cut an 11-point halftime deficit to five going into the fourth quarter after scoring field goals following a muffed punt return and a failed fake punt by the Cougars. Jonaz Walton plowed across the goal line on a 3-yard run to put Notre Dame in front with 9:31 left.

Bachmeier led BYU into Notre Dame territory, but Jayden Sanders picked off a pass at the Irish 15 with 8:05 remaining.

“We knew our offense could score and we knew they could get us in position to take the lead,” BYU coach Kalani Sitake said. “We’ve been in these tight games before. It felt normal for us.”

After the Cougars forced a 3-and-out, Bachmeier drove BYU 55 yards in 10 plays and found Walker Lyons on a go-ahead 6-yard grab with 1:47 left.

Carr threw for 261 yards and Nolan James Jr. added 77 yards and a touchdown on the ground for the Irish. Notre Dame ended a 16-game winning streak.

“I thought we moved the ball well and just didn’t end up punching in some of those red zone opportunities we had,” Carr said.

Bachmeier used a combination of efficient passing and tough running to put the Irish on their heels early. He completed 72% of his passes in the first half.

BYU capped its opening drive with Bachmeier’s five-yard TD run up the middle.

Notre Dame took a 10-7 lead on an 8-yard run from James. Then Bachmeier punished the Irish defense on back-to-back drives. He caught a short pass from Kyler Kasper and rumbled 15 yards to put BYU back in front. Then Bachmeier dove over the goal line from a yard out to extend the Cougars’ lead to 21-10 going into halftime.

The Takeaway

Notre Dame: The Irish struggled to finish drives at critical times, turning the ball over once in the red zone and settling for field goals after twice starting drives in BYU territory.

BYU: The Cougars had a chance to go up 28-10 in the third quarter before a pick penalty by Kasper wiped out a 39-yard touchdown catch by JoJo Phillips. The Cougars then committed back-to-back special teams gaffes that let the Irish back in the game.

Touchdown trifecta

With his second quarter touchdown catch, Bachmeier became the only FBS quarterback over the last 30 seasons to have a rushing TD and a receiving TD against an AP Top 25 opponent. He also became the first quarterback since Steve Young in the 1983 Holiday Bowl to record a passing, rushing and receiving touchdown in the same game.

“It’s nice to be able to use him in so many different ways,” Sitake said. “With Bear’s skills, you can do a lot of different things with him.”

Bachmeier said he had something extra to prove to the Irish after being lightly recruited by Notre Dame.

“Out of high school, Notre Dame disrespected me and my family pretty badly and I wasn’t going to lose to those guys,” Bachmeier said. “There was no way I was going to lose to those guys tonight.”

Spike failure

The Irish drove to the BYU 5 in the final seconds of the first half. Carr fumbled while trying to spike the ball, and Isaiah Glasker pounced on it to help the Cougars maintain a two-score lead going into the locker room.

It was just the second turnover of the season for Notre Dame.

“It’s a crucial, crucial play,” Freeman said. “That again, I’ve never seen it happen with us. Obviously, maybe it just happened at other places, but we can't allow that to happen."

Up next

Notre Dame is at Navy on Oct. 31.

BYU is at UCF on Oct. 24.

The string of sharp queries, some from voters who said they had supported him and President Donald Trump, previewed the rocky path he may face trying to answer for the administration’s record if he runs for president himself in 2028.

Vance, who said during the town hall there's “of course” a chance he doesn't run for president, faced an especially pointed question about “a failure of leadership” posted by the widow of one of six U.S. soldiers killed by an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait, which occurred the day after Trump started the war with Iran.

“This literally is the first time I’ve heard of this,” Vance said in response.

As he went on, he said, “This job is an amazing honor, but you live in a bit of a bubble and sometimes information doesn’t filter up.”

Questions about Iran war strategy and costs

After telling the vice president about his late wife, Master Sgt. Nicole Amor, who was killed on March 1, Joey Amor asked about mistakes and fundamental failures that led up to the deaths of those soldiers and how leaders would be held accountable.

Vance seemed taken aback by Amor’s questions, saying, “This literally is the first time I’ve heard of this,” and said he wanted to talk with Amor to learn more after.

But as Vance went on, he acknowledged mistakes were made and said, “there were issues with where troops were located that we realized was a huge mistake that we could do better on, and we have changed that."

A Michigan man who said he voted for Trump and Vance in 2024 but now plans to vote for Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed pressed Vance about the high gasoline prices resulting from the war. In response, Vance said he recognized that gas prices were too high, and said, “I think it’s important to be honest about why they’re so elevated.”

He said it was because of “what’s happening in the Middle East” and said the administration was taking steps to try to lower prices.

“We’ve never had a situation like this where you have effectively, the largest state sponsor of terrorism that’s trying to choke off world energy supply,” Vance said, without acknowledging that situation occurred because of the war Trump launched.

He also blamed former President Joe Biden, saying that during his tenure, America’s refining capacity was diminished.

But when Vance was pressed on the Trump administration owning the current situation, the vice president suggested that looking backward for blame was not the way.

“Fundamentally, we are where we are, and you have to, in my view, I’d like to know what is Abdul El-Sayed’s solution for the problem that we have right now,” Vance said. "It’s easy to criticize something that happened seven months ago.”

Immigration enforcement tactics and the rhetoric around immigrants

A nun who spoke to Vance about their shared Catholic faith questioned the administration’s hardline immigration enforcement tactics, including children who are separated from their parents when the adults are swept up in sweeps, and how that squared with their values.

“We’re trying to strike the right balance,” Vance said. When moderator Tony Dokoupil asked Vance if the administration is not striking that balance, Vance replied, “I think that is constantly a work in progress.”

He admitted that, “Sometimes you have some people who made mistakes. Sometimes you have some people who really screw up.”

When Dokoupil asked for specific examples, Vance said there are a number of cases the administration has investigated that resulted in further training or discipline for immigration enforcement officers, but said they don’t advertise it publicly in order to let investigations play out.

Another voter, who said she became an immigrant five years ago and voted for Vance after becoming a U.S. citizen, asked him pointedly about his recent remarks referring to H1-B visa holders as, “foreign indentured servants,” and accused him of “scapegoating immigrants for the issues you’re supposed to be solving.”

“To the extent that my rhetoric has been imperfect here, that’s on me,” Vance said, before explaining that he was trying to criticize the companies that bring in the workers, not the immigrant workers themselves.

Selling access to the White House is ‘disgusting and despicable’

Dokoupil pressed Vance on whether Trump and others in his administration were profiting off the presidency, including the nearly $1.2 billion the president took in from his crypto businesses last year, according to a federal filing. When asked if he'd seen anything in the White House that made him squeamish, Vance said, “I've never seen anything like that from the president.”

He said, though, that there is evidence of corruption in Washington, but he doesn't see evidence of it from the president or the administration.

Vance said he's read articles about allegations, but said he goes to investigate claims himself and finds that they are not true.

Dokoupil asked Vance about the president's crypto profits, along with the recent resignation of his ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, over allegations she denies that she was leveraging her position for benefits.

“If somebody's selling access to the White House, that's disgusting and despicable and they should suffer consequences,” Vance said.

Darian Mensah threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns, the last of them a 3-yarder to Malachi Toney in the second overtime, and No. 3 Miami held on to beat archrival Florida State 43-35 in a back-and-forth classic on Saturday night.

“This is what great teams do, find a way to win,” Mensah said.

No. 1 Georgia lost to Auburn and No. 2 Notre Dame lost to BYU, making Saturday the first instance of the nation’s two top-ranked teams falling on the same regular-season day since Nov. 17, 2012, according to Sportradar.

That clears a path for Miami to be No. 1 when the new poll comes out Sunday.

“We have a good enough sample size of 2026 to know that's absolutely insignificant and irrelevant with the changing of the guard from week to week,” Miami coach Mario Cristobal said. “It just has no value to our processes and whatnot. I'll focus on the real ‘1’ that's important — the 1-0.”

Toney had 11 catches for 154 yards and two scores, plus threw a 2-point conversion pass to Cooper Barkate after his OT score for Miami (6-0, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference).

Bryce Fitzgerald — who left the game with injury early before returning — sealed the win with an end-zone interception for the Hurricanes on the final play, amid claims from Florida State (3-4, 1-3) that it should have been ruled a touchdown.

“I thought it was a touchdown ... but we're not the ones out there calling the shots,” said Florida State quarterback Ashton Daniels, who threw for 298 yards and four scores. “We can't control the decisions and all that. We don't understand it. It hurts, but there's nothing we can do about it.”

Mensah completed 23 of 34 passes for Miami, which has now won seven of its last 10 games against the Seminoles. Javian Mallory rushed for 108 yards and two touchdowns, including one in the first OT and Mark Fletcher Jr. added a rushing score for the Hurricanes.

Duce Robinson had a pair of TD catches late for Florida State, including a 75-yarder that tied the game with 2:49 left in regulation and a 20-yard score to open the first overtime. Robinson was the intended receiver on the last play as well, but the Hurricanes found a way.

“This rivalry is bigger than me,” Toney said. “I haven't been alive for half of it, but I'm still playing for the standard that the generations before me created.”

Florida State appeared to give itself a chance when Daniels connected on a fourth-and-21, 36-yard heave that would have made it 43-41 — only to have the play called back by holding.

Florida State disagreed with that call as well. “Go watch the film,” said embattled Florida State coach Mike Norvell, whose team is now 10-22 in its last 32 games.

The next play was an even longer heave into a maze of bodies in the end zone, called an interception before going to review. Fitzgerald was ruled to have come down with the ball, and the Hurricanes stormed the field in celebration.

“Since the start of football, if it's a tie it goes to the receiver,” Norvell said. “I guess they had a different angle.”

The entire game saw one team going up by a TD, then the other team coming back to tie it.

Miami had leads of 7-0 and 14-7; FSU tied the game both times. FSU went up 21-14; Miami answered to tie that time. The Hurricanes went back on top; FSU answered. FSU scored first in overtime; Miami answered.

In the end, Florida State — which lost top rusher Ousmane Kromah late in the first half with a left leg injury — ran out of answers.

“We overcame the adversity,” Toney said. “That says a lot about our identity.”

The takeaway

Florida State: The Seminoles’ loss last week at Louisville was sparked by a fourth-down stop near the goal line, and Florida State had two such fourth-down misfires from inside the Miami 5 on Saturday. In the end, not kicking field goals in those situations proved costly.

Miami: Mensah had gone 153 passes to start his Miami career without throwing an interception, a streak that ended when he tried to force one to Barkate in the end zone during the third quarter. Ashlynd Barker made the interception for Florida State, preserving what was then a 14-14 tie.

Up next

Florida State: Host Clemson on Oct. 31.

Miami: Host Pitt on Oct. 24.

Dozens of demonstrators gathered along University Drive near Sample Road in Coral Springs for the protest, with a local grassroots group using the demonstration to encourage voter participation ahead of the Nov. 3 election.

The demonstration, organized by Joyful Resistance South Florida, drew people from across northwest Broward County and included at least one visitor from Jacksonville. Protesters held signs and gathered near City Hall to make their voices heard.

While previous “No Kings” demonstrations have largely focused on President Donald Trump and his policies, organizers said Saturday’s rally also emphasized the importance of voting.

“This rally is different because today we’re out here to make sure that our community knows that their vote is their voice and that’s something that is really important that they can do,” said Mari Kraljic, who is with Joyful Resistance.

Kraljic said the group wants residents to make a plan to vote, whether through early voting or by returning a mail-in ballot at a secure drop box.

“And remembering that November 3rd is not just election day, that’s your final deadline to vote. There’s no excuse not to,” she said.

Kraljic also encouraged residents to bring friends with them when they vote, emphasizing the importance of participation after what she described as low voter turnout in the primary.

Joyful Resistance is a local grassroots activism organization based in Coral Springs that supports surrounding communities. Kraljic said the group has been active for nearly two years and works with other organizations involved in demonstrations across South Florida.

“We’ve built a lot of relationships, and we have a lot of fun out here,” Kraljic said. “That’s why we have ‘Joyful’ in our name.”

The nationwide “No Kings” protests have brought demonstrators together to oppose what participants describe as authoritarian overreach and threats to democratic norms.

In Coral Springs, Saturday’s gathering combined protest with a call to action, urging residents to use their voices at the ballot box.

The second day of the two-day festival runs from 4 p.m. to 4 a.m., with rave and techno music spread across a dozen stages. The event also features food and draws tens of thousands of people over two days.

But the rain wasn’t enough to keep some concertgoers away.

Inara Gulla, a Miami resident attending the festival, said the music mattered more than the weather.

“It doesn’t matter the conditions,” Gulla said. “The music is everything about rave.”

Even the rain didn’t stop the fashion, with Gulla showing off her waterproof boots and distinctive shirt as she embraced the festival look.

2026 could be one of the final years for the festival at its current location. Carnage Mellon recently announced plans to open a campus on the land where the event is held.

The Panthers became the first team in NHL history with natural hat tricks in three consecutive games, after Brady Tkachuk had them in wins over Columbus on Tuesday and Vancouver on Thursday. Florida also became only the third team in 30 years to have a hat trick — of any variety — in three consecutive games.

With four hat tricks already this season — all coming in the last three games — Florida has matched its total from the last three regular seasons combined. Niko Mikkola and Sam Reinhart also scored for the Panthers, and Matthew Tkachuk had three assists.

Freddy Gaudreau, Shane Wright and Ryker Evans had goals for Seattle, while Kaapo Kakko and Berkly Catton both had two-assist games.

Verhaeghe got his first two goals of the night 1:11 apart late in the first period, then struck again with 13:58 left in the second to push Florida’s lead to 4-1. Bennett opened the scoring for Florida just 1:05 into the game, and he added goals in both the second and third periods.

Former Panthers forward Mackie Samoskevich made his return to Florida, after joining the Kraken this offseason.

Samoskevich scored 27 goals in 156 games with Florida over the last three seasons, getting his name on the Stanley Cup after the Panthers won their second consecutive title in 2025. Florida traded him to Seattle in June for a pair of picks, one of which was used that same day to help complete the Panthers’ trade with Ottawa for Brady Tkachuk.

Samoskevich had three goals and an assist for the Kraken in their first seven games.

Cientos de bomberos trabajaron toda la noche en un incendio que ardía en las colinas que se extienden entre las ciudades costeras de San Juan Capistrano y San Clemente, en el condado de Orange. En una colina panorámica popular entre los excursionistas, solo quedaba una bandera estadounidense entre el terreno calcinado.

El incendio Norte, de rápida propagación, se inició el viernes en San Clemente en medio de los vientos cálidos y fuertes de Santa Ana que lo empujaron hacia San Juan Capistrano, lo que provocó la evacuación de unos 16.000 residentes.

Fue uno de los distintos incendios ocurridos en la región, azotada por ráfagas secas y cálidas conocidas como vientos de Santa Ana, que soplan desde el interior hacia la costa. Los vientos más fuertes golpearon la zona el viernes por la tarde. Pero se esperaba que las condiciones que incrementan el riesgo de incendio se mantuvieran hasta la noche del sábado, con un aviso de calor vigente hasta las 8 de la noche del sábado en la costa de los condados de Orange y San Diego, informó el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional.

El incendio abarcaba poco menos de 2 kilómetros cuadrados (una milla cuadrada) y estaba contenido en un 5% el sábado, cuando los bomberos aún rociaban agua sobre los escombros humeantes de una vivienda que se quemó.

El incendio ha dañado o destruido al menos seis viviendas, algunas de ellas en laderas con amplias vistas al océano, indicaron las autoridades.

Algunas órdenes de evacuación se levantaron el sábado, pero las autoridades señalaron que la gran mayoría seguía vigente e instaron a la gente a mantenerse alejada de la zona.

“Tenemos una línea de fuego activa, tenemos viento y hay un aviso de calor vigente, así que todavía existe un riesgo; por eso pedimos a todos que cooperen, sigan nuestras recomendaciones y se mantengan fuera de esas áreas”, señaló Greg Balta, portavoz de la Autoridad de Bomberos del Condado de Orange.

The youngest shooting survivor, 7-year-old Saylor Graham, is a feisty, vibrant fighter with a sweet nature whose story inspired other children, said Matt Sampson, executive director of Sparrow Clubs, where she was a member. She has a genetic disorder, usually uses a wheelchair and is non-verbal, but “she doesn’t even need words to connect with people,” he said.

“She’s just an amazing spirit who just immediately draws people to her and you just feel inspired by Saylor when you meet her,” Sampson said. “And she's always wearing these iconic glasses, whether they’re pink or they’re red. She’s just such a cutie.”

Teacher Becky Drury, 54, is recovering in a Bend hospital with wounds to her arm and hand but hopes to go home soon, said Zack Hall, a family friend who is serving as her family's spokesperson.

Three children — ages 5, 8 and 11 — and a teacher were killed at the Silver Rail Elementary school in Bend, Oregon, Thursday when a former student there, 16-year-old Griffin J. John II, entered a special needs classroom and began firing with a shotgun.

One teacher was grappling with John for the weapon when the father of two students came in and shot him to death. They were credited with stopping the rampage and saving many people's lives.

While police continued to investigate John's motive, distraught parents, teachers and others gathered outside the school Saturday to leave flowers, pray and cry.

Savannah Patton, a mother who has a 1st and 4th grader at the school, sat on the grass Saturday across from a memorial of flowers, stuffed animals and balloons, and wiped tears from her eyes.

She told an Associated Press reporter that the teacher who died, Megan Lambert, 25, had been a substitute for her daughter’s class last year.

Patton said she has struggled to explain what happened to her daughter, who asked her, “Mommy, why would someone want to take a gun and kill us at school?” Patton said it was a question she didn’t know how to answer.

Physical challenges won't keep her from “living with joy”

For several years, Saylor worked with students from Bend High School through the Sparrow Clubs, a volunteer group whose mission is to empower “kids to help kids in medical need” through kindness and community service, according to their website.

In a video on the Sparrow Clubs page, Saylor introduces herself, saying she loves watching Bluey and being around other kids, especially her brother. She said that while she is challenged by physical and cognitive issues, she can communicate with her eyes and a computer tablet.

“I prove every day that I’m a fighter who doesn’t give up," she wrote in the video. "Living with CASK-related challenges is full of unknowns, which can be very hard and scary for my whole family,” she said, “But it doesn’t keep me from smiling, laughing and living with joy!”

Some of the high school students who worked with Saylor said helping her gave them hope that there is still humanity in this world.

After the shooting, she was taken to a hospital in Portland. A Go-Fund-Me for her family has raised almost $400,000.

“We will not let her name be forgotten”

Devon Johnson visited the memorial outside the school Saturday morning. Her husband teaches at Bend High School, and she is a volleyball coach at High Desert Middle School, so they are close with many of the staff at the elementary school.

“It's just hard to take in,” she said. “I'm so glad to see that Bend is rallying and just wrapping their arms around this community, but it's going to take a long time to get through this.”

Heidi Wood, the director of the Central Oregon Volleyball Club where Lambert coached, said in a social media post that she was “an amazing coach, ”an amazing teacher” and “an amazing person who would do anything” for her students.

“To the shooter, she would have given you the shirt off her back,” Wood said. “But you didn’t give her a chance.”

Wood said that Lambert wouldn’t take her volleyball coaching pay in her first year so the money could be used for scholarships for players who couldn’t afford to play instead.

“That was her, and that is her,” Wood said. “We will carry on her love, her passion and we will not let her name be forgotten.”

Bellisle reported from Seattle. Associated Press writer Haven Daley contributed to his report.

The Crimson Tide (5-2, 3-2 Southeastern Conference) have lost consecutive regular-season games for the first time since 2007 after also losing to No. 1 Georgia last week.

Tennessee has won three of its last five games against Alabama following a run of 15 consecutive defeats. All three of those wins came at home.

The Volunteers (6-1, 3-1) relied on a stout defense and the steady play of quarterback George MacIntyre (197 passing yards) to win their third straight game. Alabama had just 201 yards of total offense, including 54 rushing, turned the ball over four times and converted on just 2 of 13 third-down attempts.

“Great win,” Tennessee coach Josh Heupel said. “Defense, suffocating, elite performance. Really proud of those guys.”

The Vols were determined to contain quarterback Keelon Russell and succeeded. He threw for 147 yards and scored the only touchdown on a 19-yard run. Alabama lost two fumbles, and Russell threw two interceptions.

“It's a tough environment,” Russell said. “I wouldn't say it was the environment that shook me. It was just a lack of a plan that I had. Just wasn't playing my game today.”

Bishop had 64 rushing yards at halftime and 95 in the second half.

“At halftime, I told him he was going to have a big second half,” Heupel said. “He just smiled.”

Bishop was a key part of a fourth-quarter drive that lasted 9 minutes, 32 seconds and ended in his 5-yard touchdown run.

"(Bishop) is a special back," Heupel said. “Smart, tough, physical, great vision.”

MacIntyre completed 21 of 31 passes for 197 yards.

“He did a good job getting rid of the football and escaping pressure,” Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer said. “The key was they were able to run the football.”

Tennessee led 12-10 at halftime after both offenses struggled. The teams combined for five turnovers and were 3 of 17 in third-down conversions.

The Crimson Tide generated just 93 yards of offense in the first half while coming up empty on all seven third-down tries. The Vols knocked on the door throughout the half but could only manage four field goals by Cooper Ranvier.

The Takeaway

Alabama: Receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams missed the game dealing with several injuries, including a concussion. The team captain’s presence on the field adds another dimension that the Tennessee defense didn’t have to deal with.

Tennessee: Though the quarterback position is still very much a work in progress, it was good enough to pull out the victory. The Vols’ running game, led by Bishop, continues to be the effective part of the offense. Tennessee will likely emerge in the top 10 of the AP Top 25 and is a legitimate contender for a College Football Playoff spot.

Up next

Alabama: The Crimson Tide will be at home against Texas A&M on Saturday.

Tennessee: The Vols will be on the road against South Carolina on Saturday.

The reigning champion Red Raiders (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) broke a school record with their eighth consecutive regular-season conference victory since a 26-22 loss last year at Arizona State. Their 12th home win in a row is one short of the longest streak in school history set in 1942.

Texas Tech led for good on Roberts' 24-yard pick-6, the fourth time in three games a Red Raiders linebacker returned an interception for a touchdown. That came three plays after Williams' fumble at the Sun Devils 2 on the 13th play of the game's opening possession.

The Red Raiders scored on the last seven drives of the first half, with four TDs and three field goals by Stone Harrington (31, 42 and 37 yards) for a 43-10 halftime lead. They already had 404 of their 502 total yards by then.

“That was something that was totally different,” coach Joey McGuire said. “We’ve been really slow starting and playing great in the second half. I was really excited the way we started. It wasn’t that we did anything different. We just executed better and played at a really high level.”

Reed Harris had his Big 12-leading eighth TD catch for Arizona State (3-3, 1-2) on the first drive after halftime, on a 2-yard pass from backup Mikey Keene.

Will Hammond, the starter for Tech in last year's game at Arizona State when Behren Morton was injured, completed 18 of 26 passes for 232 yards with an 11-yard TD to Coy Eakin. Hammond also had a 9-yard TD run. Kenny Johnson had seven catches for 120 yards.

“Will grew today as a quarterback,” McGuire said. “He did some things today, extremely composed, that I haven’t seen. You’ve seen flashes. But I haven’t seen a half like that out of him.”

Williams had only 11 carries and his two TD runs covered 100 yards. His 62-yard sprint down the left sideline put the Red Raiders up 21-0 in the first quarter, and he later added a 38-yard score when he went through a gap on the left side, got by one defender and then spun past another.

Texas Tech was without Williams' backfield mate, Cameron Dickey, who has a high ankle sprain.

“Everybody needs a J'Koby Williams in their life,” McGuire said. “He's just one of those guys that just lights up the room. He knew he had a lot on his shoulders not having Cam Dickey.”

The takeaway

Arizona State: While the loser in this game each of the past two seasons went on to win the Big 12 title, this Sun Devils team is reeling in conference play. They lost 55-19 at home to Baylor two weeks ago when they gave up 564 yards.

Texas Tech: The Red Raiders are 18-2 since the start of the 2025 season, and 17 of those wins are by double-digits. They are 41-18 in coach Joey McGuire's five seasons with a 26-5 mark at home.

Sun Devils QB switch

Keene took over after halftime and completed 25 of 34 passes for 256 yards and two TDs. Kentucky transfer Cutter Boley was 5-of-10 passing in the first half with two interceptions and 124 yards — 74 of those on a TD to Raiden Vines-Bright.

“I'm going to assess all personnel after I watch the tape on all phases,” coach Kenny Dillingham said. “But I was very, very happy with how Mikey went in, and I was very, very happy with Mikey's leadership and command and his veteran presence in that group.”

Arizona State is home against Kansas State next Saturday.

It’s the second straight week the top team in the AP Top 25 lost to an unranked foe after then-No. 1 Texas fell to Oklahoma last Saturday. Auburn’s win meant the team ranked No. 1 in the AP Top 25 lost in consecutive weeks for the first time since October 1990, according to ESPN.

Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton led a long game-tying touchdown drive in the fourth quarter but lost a fumble with 58 seconds remaining and the Bulldogs driving for a potential go-ahead field goal.

Stockton, who also threw two interceptions, fumbled on a run from the Auburn 46. Safety Sylvester Smith-Reed recovered for the Tigers at the Auburn 44. A roughing-the-passer penalty on Georgia's Gabe Harris Jr. helped set up McPherson's game-winning kick. Auburn players swarmed the field.

“It’s pretty neat,” said Auburn first-year coach Alex Golesh. “I’m really proud of our guys. Really proud of them.

“We’re going to build Auburn back to where everybody wants it, one game at a time. Just hang with us.”

Brown ran for 115 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries and added a scoring pass.

Georgia (6-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) saw its streaks of nine straight wins over Auburn and 53 consecutive wins over unranked teams come to an end in a loss that also will end the Bulldogs’ short one-week stay atop the AP Top 25.

Auburn (4-2, 2-2) beat the Bulldogs on the ground, outrushing Georgia 192-113. Tailback Nate Frazier returned from a rib injury to start for Georgia but was ineffective, gaining only 19 yards on nine carries.

Georgia trailed 24-14 before rallying with a 42-yard field goal by Peyton Woodring. Stockton led a tying touchdown drive that began at the Georgia 6 and covered 94 yards in 13 plays, capped by his 4-yard pass to London Humphreys.

Stockton’s two interceptions doubled his previous season total through six games. The Bulldogs also were hurt by mistakes, including three personal foul penalties.

“We helped them,” said Georgia coach Kirby Smart. “We had three turnovers and critical penalties. ... We had some really, really untimely, uncharacteristic and undisciplined penalties.”

After Georgia took a 14-0 lead, Auburn scored the next 24 points.

Georgia looked dominant in the opening minutes, even after Stockton had to leave after hitting the field helmet-first on the first play of the game. Ryan Puglisi completed each of his three passes, including a 41-yarder to Craig Dandridge Jr., before Dwight Phillips’ 15-yard scoring run.

Stockton returned for the next possession and threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to tight end Lawson Luckie for the 14-0 lead.

Auburn responded with a physical run-first attack led by the 235-pound Brown, who was effective both on designed runs and when taking off after dropping back to pass.

Another streak ends

Top-ranked teams had won 93 consecutive home games against unranked teams since LSU lost to Arkansas 50-48 in two overtimes on Nov. 23, 2007.

Another TD pass for Neptune

Auburn's first touchdown came on a trick play. Brown pitched to wide receiver Christian Neptune, who launched a 28-yard touchdown pass to Keshaun Singleton. Georgia defensive backs Ja'Marley Riddle and Ellis Robinson IV collided in the end zone. Riddle was the fill-in starter for KJ Bolden, who wore a walking boot on his right foot and did not play.

It was Neptune's second completion — and second touchdown pass — of the season.

Brown completed 15 of 26 passes for 150 yards and one touchdown.

Stinger for Stockton

Smart said Stockton was cleared after being checked for a concussion following the opening drive but also was seen by trainers following a hit to his throwing shoulder.

“He had a stinger in his shoulder that numbs your shoulder,” Smart said. “That happens a lot in football.”

Stockton completed 22 of 34 passes for 272 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.

The takeaway

Auburn: The Tigers, coming off an open week, scored the final 17 points of the first half in an impressive answer to giving up the first 14 points. Brown threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Chas Nimrod, but his lead role in the Tigers’ running attack was most valuable. Brown wore down the Georgia defense with his physical runs. Jeremiah Cobb also was effective, running for 61 yards, as the running back complement to Brown’s lead role.

Georgia: One week after a much-anticipated 20-17 win at No. 6 Alabama, the Bulldogs appeared to fade in the second quarter as their defense was on the field for 45 plays in the first half. The failure to maintain momentum after taking a 14-0 lead on its first two possessions was due to more than fatigue, however.

A personal foul on a late hit on Brown by freshman linebacker Khamari Brooks was the big play in Auburn’s tying touchdown drive. Stockton looked at intended receiver Humphreys too long on a pass that was intercepted by Anquon Fegans later in the first half.

Up Next

Auburn plays No. 22 Louisiana State, which beat No. 16 Mississippi State 31-0 on Saturday, at Auburn next Saturday.

Georgia has an off week before playing Florida, which upset No. 7 Texas 27-24 on Saturday, on Oct. 31 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

The fast-moving Norte Fire sparked the previous day in San Clemente amid hot, strong Santa Ana winds that drove it into San Juan Capistrano, prompting the evacuation of about 16,000 residents.

Hundreds of firefighters deployed to combat the blaze in the hills of Orange County. At one home engulfed in smoke and fire, photos showed them using hoses to try to douse the flames.

Most of the evacuations were lifted Saturday evening, except for one street in San Clemente.

The Norte Fire was one of several in the region hit by the Santa Anas, which blow from the interior and toward the coast.

The strongest winds hit the area Friday afternoon, but conditions of increased fire risk were expected to last through Saturday night, with a heat advisory in effect until 8 p.m. on the coast of Orange and San Diego counties, the National Weather Service said.

The blaze area remained under 1 square mile (2 square kilometers), and Chief TJ McGovern of the Orange County Fire Authority said crews increased containment to 25%.

Hurts will miss at least four games and it's uncertain when he will be cleared to resume playing.

Hurts was initially ruled out Thursday for the Eagles' upcoming game against Carolina. The Eagles said then that Hurts was injured when he took a cleat to his calf area on Oct. 4 against the Los Angeles Rams.

Hurts informed the medical staff of the injury after practice on Oct. 8. The Super Bowl 59 MVP was back at practice the next day before the team left for London to play Jacksonville.

“Out of an abundance of caution, an ultrasound was performed on Saturday (Oct. 10) following the team’s flight to London and walk-through,” the Eagles said in Thursday's statement. “The ultrasound revealed a superficial blood clot. Our medical staff and doctors in London reviewed the results and concluded that activity and mobility were important and that Jalen could safely play. Doctors recommended a follow-up ultrasound within 72 hours of the game and the return flight to Philadelphia.”

Tanner McKee, a fourth-year pro who was drafted in the sixth round in 2023, will replace Hurts. He'll make his third career start for the Eagles (2-3) against the Panthers (2-2) on Sunday. McKee started in Week 18 in 2024 and 2025 after Philadelphia had locked up a playoff berth.

Rookie Cole Payton, a fifth-round pick, will be the backup. The Eagles signed QB Joe Milton off the Cowboys' practice squad on Friday.

Hurts hadn't missed more than two games in a season since becoming the full-time starter in 2021. He's led the Eagles to five straight playoff appearances, three NFC East titles and two Super Bowl appearances, beating the Chiefs 40-22 two years ago.

Hurts is the latest starter sidelined for Philadelphia, which has played without star running back Saquon Barkley, No. 1 receiver DeVonta Smith and offensive linemen Lane Johnson, Cam Jurgens and Landon Dickerson. Johnson retired last week and Jurgens was traded to Baltimore a day later. Smith is expected to return Sunday, but Dickerson will miss the game.

La alerta estaba programada para expirar alrededor de las 5:15 p.m.

También estaba vigente un aviso de inundaciones para sectores de Deerfield Beach, al norte de Pompano Beach, el cual estaba programado para expirar alrededor de las 6 p.m.

Se instó a los residentes a tener precaución en las carreteras, ya que las lluvias y tormentas podrían provocar acumulaciones significativas de agua.

Las estimaciones de lluvia basadas en el radar se acercaban a las 5 pulgadas en los alrededores de Parkland y a las 6.5 pulgadas en Deerfield Beach.

Se esperaba que las lluvias y tormentas continuaran durante la tarde y hasta la noche. La actividad de tormentas sobre los Everglades podría volver a desarrollarse hacia los vecindarios locales, manteniendo el riesgo de inundaciones.

Las lluvias estaban asociadas con un frente frío que se extendía sobre la mitad sur del estado. La profunda humedad tropical que se desplazaba por la región estaba alimentando las lluvias y tormentas, permitiendo que produjeran fuertes precipitaciones.

Se esperaba que las condiciones inestables continuaran hasta el domingo.

Local 10 continuará proporcionando actualizaciones sobre las condiciones meteorológicas en desarrollo.

The warning was set to expire around 5:15 p.m.

A flood advisory was also in effect for portions of Deerfield Beach north of Pompano Beach, with that advisory set to expire around 6 p.m.

Residents were urged to use caution on the roadways as the showers and storms could lead to significant standing water.

Radar-estimated rainfall totals were approaching 5 inches around Parkland and 6.5 inches in Deerfield Beach.

Showers and storms were expected to continue through the evening and into the night. Storm activity over the Everglades could build back into local neighborhoods, keeping the potential for flooding in place.

The rainfall was associated with a cold front draped across the southern half of the state. Deep tropical moisture moving across the region was fueling the showers and storms, allowing them to produce heavy rainfall.

Unsettled conditions were expected to continue into Sunday.

Local 10 will continue to provide updates on the developing weather conditions.

Two losses later, the Longhorns' playoff hopes look shaky, their best player had to leave the game with an injury, and their most famous player, quarterback Arch Manning, is in such a funk that head coach Steve Sarkisian hinted that his job could be in jeopardy.

“Everything is going to be evaluated," Sarkisian said after Texas lost 27-24 to unranked Florida on Saturday.

Sarkisian was pressed whether that includes Manning, who has struggled to live up to the expectations surrounding his famous last name ever since he arrived on campus in 2023 as the nation's top recruit.

“Everything," Sarkisian said, "means everything.”

Texas (4-1, 1-2 Southeastern Conference) has lost consecutive regular-season games for the first time since a 5-7 finish in 2021. That was Sarkisian's first year at Texas. Since then, the Longhorns have been to the College Football Playoff twice, and been ranked No. 1 at some point in each of the last three seasons.

But this season now suddenly feels like it's hanging by a thread. After dropping a bitter loss to unranked arch rival Oklahoma, the Longhorns were throttled by the worst defense in the Southeastern Conference and gave up a two-score lead at home.

Texas started this season No. 5 and jumped to No. 1 when Manning led a 21-point fourth-quarter comeback against top-ranked Ohio State. Few wins get better than that one and propelled Texas to the top.

Manning and the Texas offense have struggled ever since. He has four games of 200 yards passing or less, and his pass protection has broken down over the last three. He was sacked five times by Florida and coughed up the game-clinching fumble before the Gators ran out the clock.

Manning was asked about Sarkisian's evaluation comment.

“Everyone is evaluated every week,” Manning said after the loss to Florida. “That's how it is at a school like this ... Everyone's got to get better and it starts with me.”

Sarkisian said the problems go deeper than Manning's play.

A stagnant run game looked like it could break out against Florida when Raleek Brown scampered 32 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter. It was Texas' longest scoring run of the season.

Texas averaged just 3.3 yards per run the rest of the game. A defense that was so good over the first five games couldn't get off the field against Florida and quarterback Tramell Jones Jr., who was making his first career start.

Jones led a methodical Florida rally from a 17-3 deficit. He threw two short touchdown passes in the rally and scrambled for the clinching first down at the end of the game.

Topping it off, Texas now has a big injury concern with All-American edge rusher Colin Simmons. He fell to the turf clutching his lower right leg in the fourth quarter and needed help getting to the sideline. He eventually went to the locker room on a golf cart.

Simmons set a school record with 5 1/2 sacks earlier this season against Tennessee, and had another one in the second half against Florida. He appeared to be injured while engaged with a blocker, twisting his leg.

Sarkisian said he did not yet know the extent of the injury.

Texas hosts No. 9 Mississippi next Saturday. The Longhorns likely need to avoid a third loss this season if they hope to make the playoff.

“Men only die when they give up, when they don’t believe any more," Texas defensive tackle Hero Kanu said. "We still believe.”

“Several of the individuals rescued were suffering from severe injuries consistent with shark bites, and the Coast Guard provided life-saving first aid while en route (to) San Diego,” said the agency in a statement on Saturday.

The U.S. Coast Guard and Navy are searching the waters using multiple aircraft and boats, along with assistance from the Mexican Navy. An additional helicopter will be deployed later today, according to the Coast Guard.

The boat capsized in an area frequented by smugglers and did not happen in U.S. waters, according to the Coast Guard. Survivors told officials there were 27 people on board.

“We were able to help, and that’s why we launched our assets," said Petty Officer Charlie Valor on Saturday.

The region is popular with fishing and leisure boats, but fatal attempts to transport migrants from Mexico to the U.S. have occurred in the past.

The Mexican consulate in San Diego said all those rescued were Mexican nationals. The Coast Guard said Customs and Border Protection was investigating and interviewing the survivors, but the agency did not immediately respond to requests for updates.

If survivors were witnesses to a crime, they may be eligible for humanitarian parole and permitted to remain in the country for a limited period.

Rescuers were searching the area with helicopters, a fixed-wing plane, a cutter and a Navy combat ship on Saturday. The efforts remain ongoing.

Mayday call around 1 a.m.

A mayday call was transmitted from someone on the boat around 1 a.m. Friday, said Coast Guard Lt. Santiago Tamburini. A rescue helicopter reached the site about two hours later. It took about 90 minutes for the crew, which included a rescue swimmer, to pull the 16 people from the water, Tamburini said.

The boat went down about 140 miles (225 kilometers) west of Ensenada, Mexico. There have been several episodes where migrant vessels capsized en route to California in recent years.

In May of 2025, at least three people died when a boat flipped off the coast about 35 miles (56 km) north of the U.S.-Mexico border. In 2023, eight people were killed in one of the deadliest maritime smuggling accidents off the U.S. coast, when two boats approached a San Diego beach in heavy fog and one capsized in the surf.

Associated Press writers Julie Watson, Matt Brown, Gabriela Aoun Angueira, Amy Taxin, Fabiola Sanchez and Laura Turbay contributed to this story.

Engelbert announced last month that she'd retire at the end of the calendar year.

“I met with the search firm and been getting updates periodically as they start to reach out to potential candidates,” Engelbert said before Game 1 of the WNBA Finals on Saturday. “I had candidates that I submitted, a lot of us did, and a lot of people have called. So the good news is, there’s people who really want to take on this role, which I think is great.”

Engelbert described traits that would help her successor.

“It's like a multi-dimensional role. You have to have very thick skin,” Engelbert said. “So I say that’s one characteristic you have to have. And, you have to have confidence that we can continue this growth trajectory and confidence and building relationships with players and agents and the Board of Governors, the owners and the stakeholders. so it is a multi-dimensional role.”

Engelbert is the second-longest tenured WNBA president or commissioner, and she helped negotiate a lucrative collective bargaining agreement this past spring that resulted in the league’s first set of million-dollar player salaries.

That growth has been accompanied by a series of headline-grabbing distractions for the league under her leadership, especially in the past year. She had a strained relationship with the players during the contract negotiations, and the 2026 season has been dominated by controversies surrounding officiating and the transgender debate along with a large amounts of social media backlash against WNBA participants.

Engelbert didn't address any of those in her final state-of-the-league speech other than to say that the league needs to continue to support the players against the social media vitriol.

“To continue to condemn those that are using behind a keyboard to spew vitriol and hate and racism and misogyny at our players continues to be unacceptable,” Engelbert said.

“We obviously have worked on the cyber side of that. We worked on the physical security side of that by putting more, physical security around our players and arenas outside of arenas as they travel and things like that, which, again, none of that existed a few years ago. So we’ve made those investments.”

The WNBA has grown at an exponential rate during Engelbert’s tenure as commissioner, with record TV ratings, strong attendance, a new long-term media rights deal and expansion to 18 teams by the end of the decade.

There were 51 telecasts this year with more than one million viewers, compared to 19 last season. More than 320 million hours of WNBA basketball were watched by fans around the world. A total of 3.8 million fans attended games during the regular season — the most in league history. More than 67% of the games were sold out.

Officials replay center

Engelbert said that the league, along with the NBA, completed a multi-million dollar renovation in New Jersey to the official replay center. It will be fully operational next season. The league is working to upgrade techonology and video infrastructure at arenas to help the process.

“As I said at All-Star, this represents one of the largest investments we've made in basketball operations,” said Engelbert, who first announced the new replay center at this year's All-Star Game.

On future of league internationally

Engelbert said that people in 240 countries and territories around the world watched the WNBA as viewership was up more than 200% on Amazon this past season.

“Turn those players into global superstars is on the horizon,” Engelbert said.

Her legacy

Engelbert was proud of all she's accomplished in her seven-year plus tenure as commissioner, but stopped short of wanting to discuss her own mark on the league.

“Someone else can write legacy in the history books will write that. But I’m just proud of the team we’ve built,” Engelbert said.

She's increased the amount of people in the league office which has helped the overall growth of the WNBA.

“It’s really about people and investment and I’d say, you know, the one thing I did, I think we had 12 people — and it’s not even about the number — we’re close to 100 now. It was the capabilities we built. So I’d say that’s what we did. You grow a business by hiring great people who have capabilities to take your weaknesses and turn them into strengths, to drive a business, to drive growth.”

Engelbert added a chief growth officer and chief marketing officer and gave them resources to succeed.

"Those two leaders in our organization today have 30 to 40 people working for them now. There was zero back then, so it’s really a great story of how you build a business that quite frankly, when I came in was struggling, financially struggling with digital. So we had no social, we had no digital.”

Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell are still lurking, too.

But it remains to be seen if anyone can catch up to the steady excellence of Kyle Larson as the “Chase” heads to Phoenix Raceway on Sunday.

Larson, who is looking for his third championship overall, leads regular-season champion Hamlin by 49 points with four races remaining. His average finish of 2.83 is the best pace over the first six postseason races since the Chase was introduced in 2004 and he already has two postseason victories and two second-place finishes.

Now Larson heads to a track where he's had consistent success — even though he views Phoenix Raceway with more trepidation than one might expect. He won in Phoenix back in 2021, has 12 top-five finishes over 24 starts and finished third in the spring race.

Larson had a disappointing qualifying run on Saturday and will start 22nd. Ryan Blaney won the pole and Joey Logano was second to give Team Penske the front row.

“It's just not been a historically good track for us from start to finish,” Larson said. “We're able to finish well, but I think that has a lot to do with team execution. We've done that time and time again here. I feel like our average (speed) ranking, we're probably an eighth-to 13th-place car most times. We've had a couple decent ones, but we never come here and we're like the fastest.”

It's been a dominant run for the Hendrick Motorsports driver, reminiscent of Jimmie Johnson's peak in the 2000s. He finished sixth last week in Charlotte, which was his worst finish of the postseason.

Bell is currently in third place in the standings, 51 points behind Larson. Briscoe's two straight wins have pushed him into fourth place, 65 points back. Blaney (85 points back), Logano (92) and Tyler Reddick (114) are in spots five through seven.

Hamlin and Joe Gibbs Racing are still trying to regain the form that allowed him to dominate during the regular season. The No. 11 Toyota finished fifth last week in Charlotte, which was his second-best performance of the postseason.

“No desperation, but the gap needs to close, starting now,” Hamlin said. "I think that's probably pretty accurate with our position. Just to get back on our front foot. You've got to start with winning the day and then go from there.

“But ultimately, with the races winding down, we've got to start chopping into this.”

Logano, Blaney have had success at Phoenix

Logano and Blaney are among the drivers hoping that past success in the desert can help spark a rally.

Logano is a four-time winner at Phoenix Raceway while Blaney has won the past two races at the mile, tri-oval track. He can become the third driver to win three consecutive races in Phoenix, joining Kevin Harvick, who won four straight from 2013 to 2015 and Johnson, who won three in a row in 2007 and 2008.

Blaney said that past success doesn't predict the future and he's always trying to grow, even at a track where he's been so good.

“You're always having to get better — from a car side and a driver side,” Blaney said. “There's things you do poorly even if you win the race. At least I look at it like — ‘I could have done better here. I could have done a better job with my approach or my mindset.’”

Briscoe tries to stay hot

Briscoe's on a roll after wins in Las Vegas and Charlotte, but Phoenix hasn't been his best track in recent years.

He did get his first career win in Phoenix back in 2022, but has struggled lately at the track, with four straight finishes of 18th or worse, with an average of 30th place. Most of the problems have been related to blown tires, but Briscoe believes his Joe Gibbs Racing team has figured out some answers.

“I know that we've brought a different approach — at least that's the plan,” Briscoe said. “So we'll find out here in a little bit if that plan worked out.”

Late-race drama in the desert

Phoenix Raceway is known for its dogleg section that features a widely-used shortcut option, particularly during restarts and late-race situations.

That's produced several memorable finishes: Both of last year's races had a last-lap pass for the win and 11 races have ended in overtime, which is third most among all tracks behind Daytona and Talladega.

What’s up next?

After Phoenix, the Cup series heads to Talladega and Martinsville before the season finale Nov. 8 at Homestead-Miami.

Sayin threw a 38-yard touchdown pass to Jeremiah Smith on fourth-and-1 early in the fourth quarter before leaving, and the Buckeyes held on Saturday for a 19-15 victory over No. 5 Indiana when wide receiver Nick Marsh's left foot came down out of bounds on what would have been the go-ahead score for the Hoosiers with 1:02 to go.

The defending national champions had won 22 straight overall and 19 in a row at home, the two longest active streaks in the Football Bowl Subdivision. The Buckeyes (6-1, 4-0 Big Ten) also got a measure of revenge for last December's loss to the Hoosiers in the league's title game.

“I don’t have a ton of details, but it looks like Julian will be out several weeks,” said Buckeyes coach Ryan Day, who described the game as wild and hard to put into words. “When the ball was in the air (to Marsh), I started thinking about getting a 2-minute drill ready to go.”

Instead, the Buckeyes simply ran out the clock.

But the Hoosiers (6-1, 3-1 Big Ten) sure didn't go down easily.

After Smith's score gave the Buckeyes a 19-7 lead, Josh Hoover returned from a right arm injury, led the Hoosiers down the field and capped the 75-yard drive with a 19-yard TD pass to Marsh and a 2-point conversion pass to Turbo Richard to cut the deficit to 19-15 with 10:30 left.

Hoover got one last chance after Sayin's departure and quickly got the Hoosiers into position for a second straight fourth-quarter comeback. But as the wide open Marsh sprinted toward the front corner of the end zone for the catch, his left foot came down on the white paint. Marsh knew it, putting his hands on his helmet as the crowd roared and the stadium fireworks went off.

Marsh did not speak to reporters following the game.

Indiana coach Curt Cignetti suffered his first home loss in three seasons in the first top five game ever played at Memorial Stadium.

“That was our blitz check,” Cignetti said. “We had it, we just didn't make it happen. This one is a tough one to swallow.”

While the Buckeyes were relieved to hang on, they weren't celebrating long with Sayin hurting.

“We’ll regroup,” Day said, referring to who will lead the Buckeyes in Sayin’s absence. “This is bigger than one person. Obviously, you don’t want to see him get hurt. If Luke is in there, we may have to do things a little differently, but we’ve got a bye week to put our heads together and figure that out.”

While the game lived up to the hype, the quarterbacks did not.

Sayin was 15 of 29 for 235 yards with two interceptions for the second straight week before getting hurt. Hoover was 20 of 40 for 296 yards with one TD and one lost fumble, his first turnover of the year. Charlie Becker caught nine passes for 165 yards.

Smith also had an uncharacteristic day, catching only four passes for 68 yards.

“We remember what happened Dec. 6,” Smith said, referring to the Big Ten title game. “And we knew we had to come out here and win today.”

The Takeaway

Ohio State: It's unclear what will happen next for the Buckeyes. Freshman Luke Fahey finished the game but looked sped up, at times, in his first significant action. The Buckeyes still managed to snap a three-game losing streak against top 10 foes. Whether they'll move up in the AP Top 25 will depend on what voters think about the quarterback situation.

Indiana: The Hoosiers played uncharacteristically poorly Saturday. After losing no fumbles in 1,487 snaps since the 2025 season opener, they lost two early in the third quarter. They held Smith largely in check but still gave up the one score. They certainly will fall in the rankings, the question is how far.

A champions' ride

Cignetti drove the pace car in May's Indianapolis 500 and on Saturday five-time IndyCar champ Alex Palou returned the favor by replacing Hoosier the Bison in the pregame IndyCar drive.

That tradition began this season, and while Cignetti bemoaned the fact Indiana missed out on so many opportunities, the Hoosiers can take a message from the Spaniard's dominant six-season run. Palou didn't win every race this year as he defended his title.

“The sun comes up tomorrow and we've got to get ready for Michigan,” Cignetti said.

Up next

Ohio State: Has a well-timed bye week before visiting No. 19 Southern California on Oct. 31.

Indiana: Will try to win two straight over Michigan for the first time since 1958-59 when it heads to Ann Arbor next weekend.

Trump, who spoke in the city of Highland Heights to boost Republican candidates including Ed Gallrein for the U.S. House, was riffing on his decision to change how the U.S. government refers to the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

“I don’t think I could have done this in my first term. This is a much more powerful term,” Trump said. “Google wouldn’t have taken my call in the first. Now, they kiss my ass."

“Well, I also changed the name of a lake in Canada to the Lake America," he continued, referring to Lake Ontario.

Trump's self-proclaimed power is set against voter frustration with how he's wielded it, with tariffs and the Iran war driving up prices and more Americans seeing the president looking out for his own interests and not those of the country.

With control of both chambers of Congress on the line, and with it the prospects of Democratic-led investigations of his administration should they win, Trump has put himself at the fore for voters, asking them to “pretend that I’m on the ballot.” But Republicans privately worry that growing disapproval of his administration is a liability.

Trump nominated one of his personal lawyers to serve as attorney general, ordered military strikes on accused drug smuggling boats, is trying to put his name on the Kennedy Center, and has enriched himself and his family while he's been in office.

While meandering through topics onstage in Kentucky, Trump touched on gas prices, saying that the war with Iran was going to end soon — an assertion he's made many times over the course of the nearly eight-month conflict — and that gas prices will drop to lower than previously. The crowd cheered.

Facing the electoral headwinds, Trump is working to paint a portentous picture of Democrats in the final weeks before the midterms. That includes the claim that if his opposing party wins, the U.S. will “have a depression,” and that the Democratic platform includes abolishing the U.S. Senate and U.S. Supreme Court.

Those are not on the Democratic Party's platform. But Trump is trying to lump them in with the Democratic Socialists of America, which have had a few candidates win in this year's primary elections.

Trump also rehashed his dubious promise that if Republicans win the House and the Senate then every adult American would get $5,000. That would most likely cost more than $1 trillion and require congressional approval, while exacerbating the country’s nearly $1.8 trillion annual budget deficit.

Trump added a new, seemingly conditional promise for Kentucky. That if Republicans win, he said, the Department of Defense would invest in revitalizing a drug manufacturing facility in the state.

The president pulled Gallrein on stage, the Republican candidate for the U.S. House district who beat Rep. Thomas Massie in the GOP primary. Massie had aggravated Trump by pushing for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files and opposing the Iran war, and the president responded by successfully backing Gallrein in the party's primary.

Massie, however, still has a following for standing on his staunchly conservative principles, even when it meant voting against his own party. When Trump lashed out at Massie as a “jerk” and “loser” and trumpeted Gallrein as a more loyal replacement, the crowd’s response was tepid, with about half the arena clapping at Trump’s barbs and other half silent.

The shooting happened around 12:20 p.m. at the station at 7th Avenue and 53rd Street, a short walk from several Broadway theaters and Carnegie Hall.

Police found an adult man with a gunshot wound to his chest. A police spokesperson said the shooting took place on the E train platform. The dispute involved two or three men.

Emergency crews responded and transported the victim to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

No arrests were immediately reported. Trains that normally stop at that station were bypassing the area as a police investigation took place.

Violent crime has been dropping steadily in New York City since a spike during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and deadly violence inside the subway system remains rare, despite the trains being used by millions of people each day.

Through mid-October, the city was on pace to have its lowest number of killings in decades, with reported homicides down 20% from the same point last year.

Florida (5-2, 3-2 Southeastern Conference) had risen as high as No. 8 after a 4-0 start under first-year coach Jon Sumrall before consecutive blowout losses, but delivered what could be a season-saving victory.

The Gators earned the program's first road win at a top-10 opponent since 2012. After the game, some Florida players did the “Gator Chomp” or flashed the upside down “hook'em horns” hand sign to their cheering fans as they left the field.

“We kept fighting. We didn’t do that the past couple of weeks, to be honest with you. When things got tough, we flinched the last couple weeks,” Sumrall said. "Our team grew today ... because we fought.”

The Florida defense, ranked last the Southeastern Conference, shut down quarterback Arch Manning and the Longhorns offense, holding Texas (4-2, 1-2) under 300 yards. They sacked Manning five times and the last one by Myles Graham forced a fumble on Texas' final possession.

Jones started in place of the injured Aaron Philo and after a slow start led a methodical Gators offense that rallied from a 17-3 deficit in the second quarter.

“I didn’t take it any bigger than it was," Jones said. “It feels great, but this is just the start. It’s not over.”

His first touchdown pass cut the Texas lead to 17-10 with 18 seconds left in second quarter. The second capped a 15-play drive that chewed up eight minutes of the third.

“We didn’t play good football today. Kind of bled out," Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said. "They controlled the ball in the second half and our inability to convert on short yardage.”

A 28-yard field goal by Patrick Durkin gave Florida its first lead before Baugh broke outside for an 11-yard touchdown.

Texas quickly answered on Manning's 9-yard touchdown pass to Cam Coleman. That score came after Manning avoided a sack on a fourth down and found Emmett Mosley V for 62 yards to set up the TD pass.

Texas led 17-3 in the second quarter after Ryan Niblett returned a punt 63 yards for a touchdown, the third of his career.

The Takeaway

Florida: The Gators had looked awful on defense the previous two games but the unit was excellent against Texas after the first two drives. They limited Texas' big play receivers and allowed only one first down on the Longhorns' first three drives of the second half as the Gators took the lead.

Texas: The Longhorns have lots of problems. Manning struggled for the fourth consecutive game. The defense, one of the best in the country, gave up scoring drives of 15 and 14 plays in the second half. And star edge rusher Colin Simmons left the game in the fourth with an apparent ankle injury.

“It’s not great right now,” Manning said. “Coming off two losses in a row, it stings.”

Up next

Florida plays at No. 1 Georgia on Oct. 31.

Texas hosts No. 9 Mississippi on Oct. 24.

Local 10 no ha podido encontrar ni verificar de manera independiente la publicación en redes sociales que Manley está acusado de escribir.

Manley fue uno de varios candidatos que participaron en las elecciones del verano de 2026 para convertirse en el candidato demócrata por el Distrito Congresional 20 de Florida. No ganó la contienda.

La Fiscalía Estatal de Broward informó a Local 10 que un juez emitió una orden el jueves en la que estableció las condiciones de la fianza de Manley. Estas incluyen la libertad provisional bajo condiciones estándar, la prohibición de poseer armas o municiones, no tener contacto con las víctimas y la prohibición de publicar contenido en redes sociales.

La fiscalía también confirmó que no se encargará del caso de Manley debido a un conflicto de intereses.

En un comunicado enviado a Local 10, la fiscalía indicó que solicitó a la oficina del gobernador que asignara el caso a otra fiscalía estatal, debido a que las víctimas mencionadas han participado en varias campañas benéficas organizadas por la Fiscalía Estatal de Broward a lo largo de los años.

Los registros de la cárcel muestran que Manley pagó una fianza de $40,000 USD. Hasta la mañana del sábado, permanecía detenido en la cárcel principal del condado Broward.

Local 10 has not been able to find or independently verify the social media post Manley is accused of writing.

Manley was one of several candidates who ran in summer 2026 to become the Democratic nominee for Florida’s 20th Congressional District. He did not win the race.

The Broward State Attorney’s Office told Local 10 that a judge issued an order Thursday outlining Manley’s bond conditions. They include standard pretrial release, no possession of weapons or ammunition, no contact with the victims and a prohibition on posting to social media.

The office also confirmed it will not handle Manley’s case because of a conflict of interest.

In a statement to Local 10, the office said it requested that the governor’s office assign the case to another state attorney’s office because the listed victims have participated in several charitable drives organized by the Broward State Attorney’s Office over the years.

Records show Manley was released from jail on Saturday morning after posting his $40,000 bond.

They believe in each other to make the play in the biggest of moments.

Williams converted two free throws with 1:18 left to put Golden State ahead, two more with 4.1 seconds to go on the way to scoring 26 points while facing constant pressure from Atlanta's stingy defense, and the Valkyries held off the Dream 68-64 in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals on Saturday.

“Even though we were down with a few minutes left I think we had the game right where we wanted it because it just came down to getting stops,” Williams said. “That's been our bread and butter all season. That's why we harp on it so much because we've built great defensive habits for these moments.”

It was the first loss all postseason for Atlanta, snapping a 10-game winning streak overall. And coach Karl Smesko was ready to get right back to work watching film to figure out what to do better in Game 2. The Dream are still yet to win a finals game, swept in each of their previous three trips.

“We were right there, right there, so that's why it hurts a little bit but it also motivates us,” he said. “We know what we're capable of doing so we'll have one day to get ourselves as ready as possible and then I think we'll play even better.”

Finding a way to slow down Williams — and all of her capable supporting cast — is going to be a challenge.

After a quiet first quarter, she scored 16 of her points in the second and no other Valkyries finished in double figures as they shot 32.1% and 7 of 33 from 3-point range.

“We always knew we were going to find a way somehow,” Williams said on the microphone postgame as fans chanted “Gabby! Gabby!”

Rhyne Howard missed a 3-point try with 1:09 left but Angel Reese made a steal moments later. Naz Hillmon also missed from deep. Kiah Stokes gave the Dream another chance she missed the first of two free throws with 23.8 seconds left. Then Allisha Gray couldn't knock down a 3 with 9 seconds left.

Williams converted two free throws with just over 4 seconds left to seal it.

Game 2 in the best-of-seven series is Monday night back at Chase Center, where the ear-piercing noise from a raucous “Ballhalla” crowd made for the exact hostile environment Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase requested from the home fans.

One of these two franchises will capture its first championship, and if the first game is any indication it’s going to be an all-out defensive fight.

Gray returned from injury to score 19 points, while Reese added 14 points and 12 rebounds. Jordin Canada contributed eight points, seven assists and five rebounds for the Dream, hitting a timely 13-foot jumper with 4:23 remaining.

Williams made a driving layup with 3:22 to play that pulled Golden State within 62-61. Canada banged awkwardly into Williams’ knee on a box out during her late free throws and the Valkyries star was being cared for by an athletic trainer on the bench in the waning moments.

“I'm OK, it was a long, physical game,” she said afterward.

Gray was in the starting lineup and had gone through a light practice Friday after missing the last two games of Atlanta’s sweep of the New York Liberty in the best-of-three semifinal series with an injured left ring finger — on her shooting hand.

Golden State guard Tiffany Hayes hit her face hard on the floor trying to make a steal in the closing minutes and was down with 2:38 remaining before walking off the court on her own to the locker room.

Nakase said “so far” her indication was Hayes would be good for Game 2, “so I'll know when the medical tells me.” She was undergoing her normal treatment.

The 37-year-old Hayes spent her first 10 WNBA seasons with Atlanta.

“It was a physical game, we understand, it's playoffs, that's just part of it. Tip's OK, I just gave her a little hug," Nakase said. “I'll tell you what, she's a fighter. I don't think there's someone more, maybe our whole team, but she wants this. And I can I say I'm going to put a little bit more energy tonight in film because I want to win this for Tip.”

The officials also said Pakistani troops killed an unspecified number of Pakistani Taliban militants trying to cross into Pakistan from a remote area of eastern Afghanistan during the clashes.

The fighting lasted for hours along the border in Kurram district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, according to three Pakistani security officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

There was no immediate comment from Afghanistan’s Taliban government.

Tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan have escalated under repeated border clashes and Pakistani airstrikes in Afghanistan this year, deepening a longstanding dispute over militant activity.

The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan said in September that it had documented more than 1,100 civilian deaths and injuries from cross-border violence in Afghanistan this year.

Militant violence has surged in Pakistan in recent months, with much of it blamed on the Pakistani Taliban, who are formerly known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan or TTP, which is separate from but closely allied with the Afghan Taliban. Pakistan says many TTP leaders and insurgents have found sanctuary in Afghanistan since the Taliban returned to power there in 2021, an allegation Kabul denies.

Pakistani authorities say more than 2,800 militant attacks since January have killed 3,000 people across Pakistan, mainly in the northwest and the southwestern province of Balochistan.

The hundreds of planned events were billed as nonpartisan, though they sought to build on nearly two years’ worth of No Kings marches and demonstrations by people upset with Trump’s presidency.

A band entertained what appeared to be a few hundred people in caps and coats at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. Despite the chilly weather, many in the crowd danced to the tunes. “VOTE EARLY” and “HANDS OFF MY VOTE!” were among the many signs held aloft.

At an Atlanta rally, City Councilman Michael Julian Bond told the crowd to urge others to vote ahead of the Nov. 3 general election.

“The Constitution gives you one power, right? That is the power to vote. Are you gonna use that power?” he said.

“You don't see Superman giving up his power,” Bond continued. “You don't see Black Panther giving up his power. You don't see Wonder Woman giving up her magic lasso. So why would you give up your right, your power, your obligation to vote? Be a super hero, use your power. Go to the polls and vote.”

Trump has long been suspicious of mail voting and has claimed without evidence that voting fraud cost him the 2020 presidential election.

His administration sued California election officials Thursday, asking a judge to bar the state from counting mail-in ballots for the midterm elections from people whom the federal government has identified as “likely” noncitizens until their immigration status can be confirmed.

On Friday the Justice Department warned that local officials who process and tabulate ballots submitted by suspected noncitizen voters are putting themselves at risk of criminal investigation and potential prosecution.

Earlier that day Democratic Sens. Alex Padilla of California, Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and Dick Durbin of Illinois wrote to Attorney General Todd Blanche demanding that the Justice Department commit to not seizing ballots or other election materials before the midterm elections are certified.

Caitlin Pechin of the Humane Society joined Local 10’s “Adopt a Pet” segment to introduce the playful pair and discuss the shelter’s available pets. Maggie and Cowboy were among the animals transferred to the shelter as part of an effort to help a shelter in the Florida Panhandle affected by a hurricane. The Humane Society transferred more than 50 pets.

The shelter currently has cats and kittens of various ages, sizes and breeds available for adoption.

Pechin reminded prospective adopters that while kittens are playful and entertaining, adopting a cat is a long-term commitment. Cats can live more than 20 years and require proper care, training, enrichment and financial support.

Those interested in adopting can visit Humanebroward.com to complete a pre-adoption application and meet available pets. The shelter is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Pechin also encouraged people considering adopting a kitten to consider adopting two, as having a companion can help keep them entertained and ease their transition into a new home.

Caitlin Pechin, de la Sociedad Protectora de Animales, participó en el segmento “Adopt a Pet” de Local 10 para presentar a la juguetona pareja y hablar sobre las mascotas disponibles en el refugio. Maggie y Cowboy estuvieron entre los animales trasladados al refugio como parte de un esfuerzo para ayudar a un refugio del noroeste de Florida afectado por un huracán. La Sociedad Protectora de Animales trasladó a más de 50 mascotas.

El refugio cuenta actualmente con gatos y gatitos de diferentes edades, tamaños y razas disponibles para adopción.

Pechin recordó a las personas interesadas en adoptar que, aunque los gatitos son juguetones y entretenidos, adoptar un gato es un compromiso a largo plazo. Los gatos pueden vivir más de 20 años y requieren cuidados adecuados, entrenamiento, estimulación y apoyo económico.

Las personas interesadas en adoptar pueden visitar Humanebroward.com para completar una solicitud previa de adopción y conocer a las mascotas disponibles. El refugio está abierto los siete días de la semana, de 11 a.m. a 6 p.m.

Pechin también alentó a quienes estén considerando adoptar un gatito a que consideren adoptar dos, ya que tener un compañero puede ayudar a mantenerlos entretenidos y facilitar su adaptación a un nuevo hogar.

Steven Hamilton of Winter Garden was standing on the shore of Lake Apopka at Dr. Bradford Memorial Park, 15 miles (24 kilometers) northwest of Orlando, when he was attacked around 5 p.m., the Winter Garden Police Department said.

The presence of other active alligators in the water complicated any chance of rescuing Hamilton, whose body was recovered about two hours later, Winter Garden Fire Chief Jose Gainza told FOX35.

Police Capt. Michael Mason said authorities were not alerted in advance that an alligator was near the lake's shore, possibly because it “has tons of alligators in it.” He said police launched a joint investigation with the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, whose trappers captured and killed the alligator.

Mason reminded people to be aware of their surroundings and respect wildlife.

“Keep your distance,” he said. “It looks like it’s docile, it looks like your Florida emblem, but it can be dangerous.”

After a 31-year-old Oviedo woman, Brittany Clark, was killed by a 13-foot alligator near her home in June, Republican U.S. Rep. Greg Steube introduced a resolution calling for the Comptroller General and U.S. Department of the Interior to study the impacts of the American alligator's listing as “threatened due to similarity of appearance” on Florida's ability to remove nuisance alligators from residential and commercial waterways.

He said the species has been fully recovered since 1987 but remains protected to prevent trafficking and hunting of the similar-looking American crocodile.

Using Florida state data, the two 2026 deaths bring the total number of individuals killed by alligators since 1948 to 34. Among them were a 61-year-old woman tipped out of her canoe by an alligator in 2025 and an 85-year-old widow who was dragged out of her backyard by an alligator while walking her dog in 2023.

How do they keep doing it?

The Brewers play in Major League Baseball’s smallest market. They have a payroll in the bottom half of the majors. They typically trade away their big-name players a year before they reach free agency.

Yet they posted the best record in the majors for a second straight year, earned their eighth playoff berth in nine seasons and won a fourth straight NL Central title. It’s a stunning run for a franchise that had a 25-year playoff drought from 1983-2007.

The one knock against the Brewers was their lack of postseason success. Nobody can make that criticism anymore, now that they’re in the Fall Classic for the first time since 1982 — and second time ever — after sweeping the two-time defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers out of the playoffs.

Conventional wisdom suggested this run of success would end for the Brewers after the departures of president of baseball operations David Stearns and manager Craig Counsell. Stearns stepped down after the 2022 season and left for the New York Mets a year later. Counsell left for the NL Central rival Chicago Cubs after Milwaukee’s 2023 playoff loss.

Instead, the Brewers promoted from within and got even better with Matt Arnold as president of baseball operations and Pat Murphy as manager.

Arnold, who also made it to the World Series while working in Tampa Bay’s front office in 2008, had served as Stearns’ right-hand man before taking over for him. He has utilized Milwaukee’s outstanding farm system by signing outfielders Jackson Chourio and Luis Lara, and shortstop Cooper Pratt to long-term deals before they had ever reached the major leagues. All three have played major roles this season.

Perhaps his best move was deciding on Murphy to take over as manager after Counsell’s departure. Murphy, who had been Counsell’s bench coach since 2016, was selected as NL manager of the year each of the last two seasons.

“He’s tremendous, I think, and well-rounded in a way where he has a great way about going about his business with the push-pull,” Arnold said. “He’s good at pushing when you need it and pulling back when you need it as well. He does a fantastic job.”

Here’s a chronological look at other major moves the Brewers have made over the last several years to produce a roster capable of winning their first World Series title.

Trading for Christian Yelich

Stearns’ greatest trade was acquiring Christian Yelich from the Miami Marlins in January 2018 for Lewis Brinson, Isan Díaz, Monte Harrison and Jordan Yamamoto. Yelich won the MVP in 2018, finished second in the voting in 2019 and signed a nine-year, $215 million contract in March 2020. He was named the first captain in Brewers history last month.

Brinson, Díaz and Harrison all hit below .200 in their major league careers. Yamamoto pitched in the majors from 2019-21 and posted a 6.05 ERA.

Drafting Garrett Mitchell

The Brewers selected Garrett Mitchell out of UCLA with the 20th overall pick in the 2020 draft. Mitchell, who has Type 1 diabetes, dealt with a multitude of injuries for much of his career but played 145 regular-season games this year and hit two homers in the NLCS.

Drafting Jacob Misiorowski

Jacob Misiorowski had committed to LSU when the Brewers selected the hard-throwing right-hander out of Crowder College in Neosho, Missouri, in the second round of the 2022 draft. Misiorowski could have teamed up with 2025 Cy Young Award winner Paul Skenes on a Tigers team that won the 2023 College World Series. He instead joined the Brewers and developed into this year’s Cy Young Award favorite.

Misiorowski isn't the only former Crowder College pitcher on Milwaukee's roster. Aaron Ashby, who has thrown 12 1/3 scoreless innings in the playoffs, also pitched for Crowder before the Brewers drafted him in the fourth round in 2018.

Trading away Josh Hader

The Brewers led the NL Central when they dealt star closer Josh Hader to San Diego at the 2022 trade deadline in exchange for pitchers Taylor Rogers, Robert Gasser and Dinelson Lamet as well as outfielder Esteury Ruiz. This seemed at the time like the biggest misstep of Stearns’ tenure, as the Brewers faded afterward and missed the playoffs.

But after Tommy John surgery in 2024 slowed his development, Gasser developed into a major weapon late this season. The left-hander has allowed one run in nine innings in the playoffs.

This deal also indirectly led to the next move on the list, which proved much more fruitful.

Trading for William Contreras

William Contreras was coming off an All-Star season when Atlanta dealt him to Milwaukee as part of a December 2022 three-team trade in which the Braves also acquired Sean Murphy from the Athletics. All the Brewers had to give up was Ruiz, who went to the Athletics. Contreras has made two All-Star teams with Milwaukee and finished fifth in the 2024 MVP voting. He’s hitting .367 with a 1.157 OPS in this postseason.

Also in this deal, the Brewers acquired Joel Payamps, who played a key bullpen role for a couple of years. Ruiz, who is now with Miami, has hit .234 with 111 steals in 306 career major league games.

Trading for Trevor Megill

After the Minnesota Twins designated Trevor Megill for assignment in April 2023, the Brewers acquired the reliever for Taylor Floyd, who hasn't appeared in a major league game. Megill has recorded 81 saves over the last three seasons and was an All-Star in 2025. He has pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings with four saves this postseason.

Trading for Jake Bauers

The Brewers acquired Jake Bauers from the New York Yankees for minor leaguers Jace Avina and Brian Sanchez in November 2023. Bauers returned to Milwaukee on a minor league deal in 2025 and is playing this season on a $2.7 million contract. Bauers broke through this year to post an .874 OPS in the regular season before getting named the NLCS MVP.

Avina and Sanchez haven’t yet reached the major leagues.

Trading away Corbin Burnes

Corbin Burnes had one year remaining until free agency when the Brewers sent the 2021 Cy Young Award winner to the Baltimore Orioles in February 2024 for infielder Joey Ortiz and pitcher DL Hall. Ortiz hit .270 with a .730 OPS in 134 games this season while alternating between third base and shortstop. Hall has pitched 5 1/3 innings of shutout relief in the postseason.

Trading for Andrew Vaughn

Andrew Vaughn had slumped so badly that he’d been sent to the minors before the Brewers acquired him from the White Sox in a June 2025 trade that sent pitcher Aaron Civale to Chicago. Vaughn has posted an .849 OPS in 168 games with the Brewers over the last two seasons.

Adding Kyle Harrison, Shane Drohan and David Hamilton

The Brewers traded third baseman Caleb Durbin and infielders Andruw Monasterio and Anthony Seigler to the Boston Red Sox in February after Durbin had finished third in the NL rookie of the year balloting last season. The Brewers acquired pitchers Kyle Harrison and Shane Drohan, and infielder David Hamilton in the deal. Harrison arguably was Milwaukee’s second-best starting pitcher before slumping late to finish 11-5 with a 4.20 ERA. Drohan was 7-5 with a 4.19 ERA. Hamilton stole 30 bases during the regular season and went 4 for 7 with a homer and three steals in the NLCS.

Detectives say Maraisa Toussaint was last seen at approximately 3:30 p.m. on Friday near the 5100 block of Northeast Eighth Avenue. They say she has since been located.

Authorities have not said what led to her disappearance.

Ausar signed with the Heat on Thursday but did not play in any preseason games. During the Summer League, he appeared in three games and averaged 7.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and one steal per game.

Kelley joined the team on Oct. 8 and played in two preseason games, recording six points, two rebounds and one block.

Madsen, who also signed on Oct. 8, appeared in one preseason game and played a total of 7 minutes and 49 seconds.

Mbeng was claimed off waivers by Miami on Sept. 22. He played in three preseason games, finishing with 20 points, six assists, five rebounds and three steals.

Following these moves, the Heat’s roster now includes 14 players, along with three players on two-way contracts.

With the regular season approaching, both teams may be cautious with their starters’ playing time as they wrap up their final preseason preparations.

At least four people have been killed and over 100 injured since the harvest began earlier this month, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Activists say Israeli authorities do little to stop attacks that involve weapons ranging from slingshots to guns. An attack on Friday seriously injured a Washington Post photographer and others.

In the attack in the Christian village of Taybeh on Saturday, settlers targeted Belgium’s consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives, Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said. He linked the attack to Israel's “illegal settlement policy” and pledged to push for further European Union sanctions. “Impunity for violent settlers must end," he added.

Bernard Baudoux, a French mayor among those attacked, described it in a Facebook post. “Three vehicles arrived. Several masked individuals, armed with metal bars, got out and came toward us with extreme aggressiveness,” he wrote.

Baudoux said he put on his French tricolor sash. “That didn’t stop them. I was struck with metal bars and kicked before being thrown to the ground. We were finally able to get back to our vehicles.”

He said he was fine. He and others had traveled to Taybeh to formalize a twinning agreement between the village and his community, and then participated in the residents' olive harvest. Religious leaders in Taybeh also confirmed the attack.

Video shows masked men approaching a vehicle

Video shared by an activist at the scene, Amit Orfali, shows Baudoux leaning against a vehicle while sitting on the dusty ground. Other clips showed young masked men knocking insistently on a driver's side window and asking for IDs, while other masked men carrying sticks advanced in the distance.

Orfali said the masked men “threatened to kill us.”

The attacks came less than two weeks before closely contested elections that could end Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s time in office. His government, the most nationalist and far-right in Israel’s history, faces domestic criticism over security failures and international criticism over the treatment of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. Some of the government's senior officials are settlers themselves.

The French mayor was “violently assaulted by extremist settlers,” France's foreign minister, Jean-Noël Barrot, said on X, adding that Israeli authorities "must urgently put an end to this criminal violence and ensure the safety of civilians, as they are required to do under international law.”

“We are deeply outraged by this incident,” Poland’s foreign ministry said in a statement.

Israel’s military in a statement confirmed the attack on the diplomats and called it a “severe act of violence,” but said the visit had not been coordinated with it and no soldiers were at the scene.

Israeli police said they had opened an investigation and vowed to work “until everyone who took part in these cases is brought to justice.” Foreign Minister Gideon Saar on X condemned the "severe acts of violence by Israeli rioters,” adding that his ministry was in contact with ambassadors from the countries concerned.

Netanyahu warns against ‘premature conclusions’

But Netanyahu's office later issued a statement warning against “premature conclusions” in the incident and noted concerns about “a coordinated campaign to smear Israel."

Netanyahu's main rival in the elections, Gadi Eisenkot, said on X that “a handful of criminals is burning up the last shreds of legitimacy left to the state of Israel.”

Eisenkot called it “Jewish terror” — the same term the photographer for The Washington Post, Heidi Levine, used when speaking to The Associated Press on Saturday from her hospital bed.

“I've been covering this region for over 40 years, and I have never seen this country in such a state as it is today,” Levine said, adding that she was “shocked and insulted” that Netanyahu referred to the attack on her and others as an alleged one.

Netanyahu in the past has attributed the violence to a small number of troublemakers. But cars have been burned, trees damaged and people hurt in communities across the Palestinian territory, with some people calling this the most dangerous season yet.

The U.N. and much of the international community consider the settlements, many of them resembling developed suburbs, in the West Bank to be illegally occupied. Settlers have established hundreds of additional outposts without government authorization, while still enjoying protection from the Israeli military.

Israel captured the West Bank, along with Gaza and east Jerusalem, in the 1967 Mideast war, territories the Palestinians want for a future state. The West Bank remains under Israeli military rule.

One of the latest criticisms has come from China, whose foreign minister, Wang Yi, told Israeli President Isaac Herzog this week that Israel should “stop and revoke the act of forcibly establishing settlements in the West Bank,” a spokesperson said on Friday.

Associated Press writers Sam Mednick in Tel Aviv, Israel, and Sylvie Corbet in Paris contributed.

PSG also won, coming from behind with substitute Ousmane Dembélé missing a penalty before later scoring in a 3-1 victory at Strasbourg in the French league.

Under-fire Manchester City stayed perfect in the Premier League, while Bayern Munich hit six goals against visiting Leipzig in the Bundesliga.

The Yamal Show

Yamal scored arguably the day's finest goal across all the European leagues, but was later booked after clashing with a rival player, who was sent off.

The 19-year-old Ballon d’Or contender scored the opening goal when he eluded Facundo Bernal by rolling his foot over the ball just outside the penalty area, from where he sent it sailing inside the far post in the 10th minute. He justifiably looked very pleased with himself.

Valentín Gómez headed Betis’ reply, Rodri restored Barcelona’s lead, and Giovani Lo Celso had an equalizer before the break ruled out through VAR. Betis coach Manuel Pellegrini was booked for his protests.

After the break, Yamal set up Gabriel Jesus for Barça’s third goal, only for Abde Ezzalzouli to reply for Betis two minutes later, when Yamal and Bernal clashed off the ball.

It appeared Bernal pushed Yamal, who barged back into Bernal and the two tussled. Bernal moved his head toward Yamal, touching his forehead. Yamal immediately dropped to the ground and rolled on the field, clutching his forehead. Bernal was shown a red card, Yamal a yellow.

Eric Garcia got Barcelona’s fourth goal shortly afterward, before Dani Olmo completed the scoring late.

Barcelona has won every game, 11 so far, this season, including nine in La Liga. It next faces two-time defending champion PSG away in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Álex Baena scored in the 89th for Atlético Madrid to beat Espanyol 1-0 away and stretch his team's winning run to six games across all competitions. The result increased the pressure on Espanyol coach Manolo González after a fifth defeat from nine games for the club owned by American Alan Pace.

Valencia and Athletic Bilbao drew the late game 0-0.

PSG recovers to beat Strasbourg

PSG rallied against Strasbourg after United States midfielder Gio Reyna had broken the deadlock in the 17th with a low shot.

PSG coach Luis Enrique evidently had the upcoming clash with Barcelona in mind as he had Dembélé, Désiré Doué, Vitinha, Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi on the bench.

They were all on the field by the time Dembélé fired the spot kick wide in the 72nd. But Ukraine defender Illya Zabarnyi finally equalized five minutes later, Dembélé popped up with what seemed the winner in the 85th, and Doué made sure in stoppage time.

Lille missed the chance to go top in a 1-1 draw at home against Brest, and Lens enjoyed a 3-1 win at Troyes.

Martínez injury concern, City wins again

Pedro Neto scored early and late in the second half to lead Chelsea to a 2-0 win at previously undefeated Everton in a Premier League match marred by a serious-looking head injury to Chelsea goalkeeper Emi Martínez.

Scandal-hit Man City maintained its perfect start with a 3-2 home win over Ipswich. City became only the third team to open a Premier League season with seven straight wins.

Liverpool rallied to win 2-1 at Brentford, and Johan Manzambi's brilliant week continued when he scored for Aston Villa in a 1-0 win at Newcastle. Manzambi celebrated his 21st birthday Wednesday by scoring on his Champions League debut.

Bayern bounces back in Germany

Harry Kane took his tally to 102 goals in 100 Bundesliga games as Bayern rebounded from an uncharacteristic 2-game winless run with a 6-1 rout of visiting Leipzig.

Luis Díaz scored a hat trick for the Bavarian powerhouse, which next faces Arsenal in the Champions League in Munich on Wednesday.

Borussia Dortmund was winning before the international break and has not won since after being held 0-0 at Union Berlin for its second straight Bundesliga draw. It comes after Wednesday’s Champions League loss at Bodø/Glimt.

Dortmund had greater concerns about Konstantinos Karetsas, however. The 18-year-old Greece winger went on as a substitute only to be helped off eight minutes later with what looked like a right ankle injury. There was no immediate update from the club.

Promoted Elversberg won 4-3 at home against Augsburg, Hamburger SV held on for a 1-0 win over Stuttgart, Mainz won at promoted Schalke 1-0 and Werder Bremen fought back to draw 2-2 against promoted Paderborn.

Napoli stunned by previously winless Venezia

Napoli slumped to another defeat with Akor Adams’ strike giving Venezia a 1-0 win for its first Serie A points of the season.

Kevin De Bruyne saw his penalty saved by Venezia goalkeeper Filip Stanković as Massimiliano Allegri’s team suffered its second straight loss — after its Champions League defeat to Villarreal — and a third loss from seven games in the Italian league.

It gave new Venezia coach Davide Nicola a winning start after replacing Giovanni Stroppa on Wednesday.

Inter Milan won 3-1 at Bologna and Roma rebounded from a Champions League loss with a 2-0 home win over Genoa.

Another person linked to the first Ebola case also tested positive while in quarantine, bringing the total number of infections in Kenya to seven.

The ministry said the four new patients were in isolation and receiving care. The other two patients were in stable condition. The first patient died on Oct. 5, days after he arrived in Kenya from Congo, where an outbreak has killed at least 4,300 people since May, accounting for nearly half of all confirmed cases there.

The outbreak involves the rare Bundibugyo virus, for which there is no approved vaccine or treatment.

Ebola is highly contagious and spreads through direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person, including blood and vomit, or through contact with contaminated materials and surfaces, such as bedding and clothing.

About 130 people who had been in contact with the first patient, a 40-year-old Kenyan man, were identified, the ministry said. Of those, 128 were in quarantine and two were being traced, it said.

Kenya has strengthened screening and established an emergency hotline for anyone who suspects they may have been in contact with an Ebola patient or develops symptoms.

The Explorers, who entered the game at 7-1, seized control early behind quarterback Kai Moore, who connected with Tyler Bryant on a pass that gave the receiver room to run for a touchdown.

Columbus maintained its advantage against the Rockets (6-2), building a 25-point lead before severe weather brought the contest to an early end.

The game was called late in the third quarter because of weather, leaving Columbus with a 28-3 victory.

Lawmakers from both parties blasted the executive order late Friday, the latest in a series of steps that the Republican president has taken drawing the United States closer to Russia's Vladimir Putin. Trump recently announced a diesel deal with Putin to import Russian energy in a long-shot effort to curb high gas prices in the U.S. that are roiling the midterm elections on Nov. 3.

“I think it’s clear Russia is the aggressor, and we’ve got to do everything we can to put economic pressure on Russia,” Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., said in an interview with The Associated Press. “So it’s not the first thing I would be doing.”

“Beyond irresponsible,” said Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., on social media, hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed hope that the sanctions that were supposed to take effect Sunday targeting Russia's economy could be revived.

“What part of enforcing a law passed 86-11 by the Senate does the President and his advisors not understand?” Tillis said. “It’s unconscionable that this administration is capitulating to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine.”

Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas said “Lindsey would be appalled,” referring to the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who worked endlessly on the bill before he died this summer. The bill is known as the Lindsey Graham Russian Sanctions Act.

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York said in a statement that “by giving the Russian economy life support, Trump’s deal with the devil keeps getting dirtier.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said Trump is “thumbing his nose” at Congress and “enabling Vladimir Putin to continue his war of aggression.” She urged her colleagues to take action to reverse course.

Next steps uncertain with Congress out until after Election Day

Trump's actions come as Ukraine is bracing for a stark winter confronting Russia's ongoing attacks on its energy infrastructure to heat homes and keep the lights on. Zelenskyy, who has endured a rocky relationship with Trump but stayed close to the U.S. lawmakers, urged supporters to speak out on behalf of the sanctions.

The next steps are highly uncertain with the House and Senate on recess until after Election Day. Trump had indicated he was waiving the sanctions indefinitely, citing national security concerns.

Later Saturday, Trump told reporters that they don’t know what his decision is yet regarding sanctions in Russia, despite the executive order he signed Friday night, citing a U.S national interest.

“We’ll figure it out, and you’ll figure it out. But it’s a very good decision, and it’s going to be a decision that’s good for the country, and I think good for the world,” Trump said at a fundraising dinner at his Florida estate.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, separately addressing reporters Saturday before departing for Central Asia, suggested Trump would take 60 days to review global and U.S. economic impacts from imposing proposed sanctions on Russia and other countries, in light of tariffs already in place. Pointing to high energy prices and the Iran war, “we need that period of time to sort of study all this and figure out what the right combination is," he said.

It is unlikely Congress would be in a position to take any action to challenge Trump’s moves until lawmakers return to Washington.

Skeptics in Congress warned Trump would not follow the law

It took almost a year for Graham to persuade Trump to agree to the Russian sanctions package. It was designed to impose steep tariffs on countries that import large amounts of Russian oil and energy products and was promoted as a way to halt the flow of funds fueling Putin's four-year war against Ukraine.

But even as Zelenskyy had watched from the visitor gallery as the Senate advanced the package after Graham's death, skeptics in Congress warned Trump would be unlikely to follow the bill once he had signed it into law a month ago.

Last week, a bipartisan group of senators urged the Trump administration to more quickly clamp down on Russia, particularly the “shadow fleet” of tankers that Moscow is using to transport oil and bypass America’s sanctions. The senators noted that the bulk of the new law's provisions were to be effective Sunday.

Instead, Trump soon announced the diesel deal with Putin, saying that Russia had agreed to supply tons of fuel to the U.S., where gas prices have skyrocketed in some areas and voters are saying affordability issues are a top concern.

Outraged lawmakers have pledged to stop the Trump-Putin deal.

New York Rep. Gregory Meeks, the ranking Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee who had led opposition to the Graham bill — warning that Trump would flout the law — introduced legislation Friday that would block Trump's diesel deal with Putin. “At a time when the United States should be increasing pressure on the Kremlin, Donald Trump is cozying up to Putin and striking self-enriching deals instead of standing with Ukraine," Meeks said in a statement.

He called the deal “corrupt” and said it “goes against everything the United States stands for.”

On Saturday, he said that "Congress is not helpless" and must act.

Graham's legacy on the line

Graham's sister, Darline Graham of South Carolina, helped ensure Senate passage of the bill, once she was appointed by the state's governor to fill her brother's seat.

She is now running against Democrat Annie Andrews in a tight race. Trump is expected in the state next week to rally voters.

“Look, the president and I share the same goal, which is to end the war, to get gas and diesel prices down, and the sanctions bill is one of the tools he can use to do that,” Darline Graham said at a campaign stop Saturday.

“It’s up to him whether or not he chooses to use it. Personally, I would choose to keep the pressure on Russia,” she said, “because I don’t trust Putin and I don’t trust Russia.”

Like her brother, who often publicly parted ways with the president, Darline Graham said she and Trump can have their differences.

“I am proud of it to help get across the finish line. It meant a lot to Lindsey,” she said. “But you know, like Lindsey, he disagreed with the president sometimes they had that relationship where they could agree to disagree sometimes. And I think that just happens."

The teams enter the game heading in opposite directions. Miami is 5-0 and looking to keep its undefeated season intact, while Florida State is 3-3 and trying to get back on track.

But records don’t always mean much in this rivalry, and Miami quarterback Darian Mensah knows to expect a fight.

“No matter how high ranked one team is and the disparity between the teams, it’s always gonna be a dog fight, and we’ve prepared ourselves for that this week during practice,” he said. “We know it’s gonna be a war out there and I’m super excited to be a part of the rivalry.”

Mensah, a Duke transfer who is in his first season at Miami, will lead an offense that has been among the nation’s most productive through the first five games. The Hurricanes are averaging 49.6 points and 554.8 yards per game.

Florida State, meanwhile, is coming off a 44-20 loss at Louisville. The Seminoles will need to find a way to slow Miami’s offense while avoiding the mistakes that have contributed to their uneven start.

Key things to watch

1. Can Florida State slow down Darian Mensah?

Miami is averaging 49.6 points and 554.8 yards per game, ranking first nationally in scoring and total offense. Mensah has completed 84.2% of his passes and thrown 15 touchdowns without an interception.

2. Miami’s run defense against FSU’s rushing attack

Miami has allowed just 42.6 rushing yards per game, the fewest in the country. Florida State running back Ousmane Kromah has rushed for 565 yards this season, giving the Seminoles a potential way to challenge the Hurricanes.

3. Can Miami exploit Florida State’s struggling defense?

Florida State is allowing 410.2 yards per game, ranking 122nd nationally, while Miami averages 334.4 passing yards per game. That creates a significant matchup advantage for the Hurricanes’ passing attack.

4. Can FSU avoid another second-half collapse?

Florida State lost 44-20 to Louisville after taking a 14-0 first-quarter lead. The Seminoles will need to sustain their early momentum against Miami rather than let the game get away from them.

5. How will the weather the game?

Rain and thunderstorms are forecast in South Florida around game time. Wet conditions could affect ball security, passing accuracy and special teams, making turnovers and the ground game especially important.

Kickoff for FSU-Miami is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Los equipos llegan al partido en direcciones opuestas. Miami tiene un récord de 5-0 y busca mantener su temporada invicta, mientras que Florida State tiene un récord de 3-3 e intenta retomar el rumbo.

Sin embargo, los récords no siempre significan mucho en esta rivalidad, y el mariscal de campo de Miami, Darian Mensah, sabe que debe esperar una dura batalla.

“Sin importar qué tan alto esté clasificado un equipo y la diferencia entre ambos, siempre será una batalla intensa, y nos hemos preparado para eso durante los entrenamientos de esta semana”, afirmó. “Sabemos que será una guerra en el campo y estoy muy emocionado de formar parte de esta rivalidad”.

Mensah, quien llegó transferido de Duke y está en su primera temporada con Miami, liderará una ofensiva que ha estado entre las más productivas del país durante los primeros cinco partidos. Los Hurricanes promedian 49.6 puntos y 554.8 yardas por partido.

Mientras tanto, Florida State viene de una derrota de 44-20 ante Louisville. Los Seminoles tendrán que encontrar la manera de frenar la ofensiva de Miami y evitar los errores que han contribuido a su irregular comienzo de temporada.

Aspectos clave a seguir

1. ¿Podrá Florida State frenar a Darian Mensah?

Miami promedia 49.6 puntos y 554.8 yardas por partido, ocupando el primer lugar a nivel nacional en anotaciones y ofensiva total. Mensah ha completado el 84.2% de sus pases y ha lanzado 15 pases de touchdown sin ninguna intercepción.

2. La defensa terrestre de Miami frente al ataque terrestre de FSU

Miami ha permitido apenas 42.6 yardas terrestres por partido, la cifra más baja del país. El corredor de Florida State, Ousmane Kromah, ha acumulado 565 yardas terrestres esta temporada, lo que ofrece a los Seminoles una posible manera de desafiar a los Hurricanes.

3. ¿Podrá Miami aprovechar las dificultades defensivas de Florida State?

Florida State permite 410.2 yardas por partido, ubicándose en el puesto 122 a nivel nacional, mientras que Miami promedia 334.4 yardas por pase por partido. Esto representa una ventaja significativa para el ataque aéreo de los Hurricanes.

4. ¿Podrá FSU evitar otro desplome en la segunda mitad?

Florida State perdió 44-20 ante Louisville después de tomar una ventaja de 14-0 en el primer cuarto. Los Seminoles necesitarán mantener su impulso inicial contra Miami en lugar de permitir que el partido se les escape de las manos.

5. ¿Cómo afectará el clima al partido?

Se pronostican lluvias y tormentas eléctricas en el sur de Florida alrededor de la hora del partido. Las condiciones húmedas podrían afectar el control del balón, la precisión de los pases y los equipos especiales, haciendo que las pérdidas de balón y el juego terrestre sean especialmente importantes.

El inicio del partido entre FSU y Miami está programado para las 7 p.m.

The race kicked off before sunrise, with participants of different ages and abilities running or walking toward the same goal: crossing the finish line.

Organizers said about 1,100 runners took part in the event, which offered participants a scenic route along Hollywood Beach.

For some, the race was also a family affair, with parents and children sharing the experience. Others traveled from out of state to participate, including runners visiting from North Carolina.

Rapper N.O.R.E. was among the familiar faces at the event.

Despite the challenging weather, the atmosphere remained upbeat, with runners celebrating their finishes and cheering on fellow participants.

For those who took part, the race was about more than speed or distance. It was an opportunity to challenge themselves, connect with the community and enjoy a shared experience along the beach.

With the heat and humidity making for a demanding morning, finishing strong was a victory in itself.

The next elite event in Hollywood is scheduled for Jan. 16.
