Rosa Flores, 19, was a passenger in a car when it was involved in a violent crash outside Miami Dade College’s Kendall Campus on Sept. 3.

“When they were turning into the campus, they were gonna turn in, they were struck by a truck,” said Martinez.

Flores was rushed to a hospital in critical condition, where she remained in a medically-induced coma for three weeks.

“She had bleeding inside and the skull, so they had to go in there to drain her,” said Martinez. “She had bruises all over.”

Flores was a freshman at MDC aspiring to work in MRI technology.

The teen underwent several surgeries, and doctors told her mother she will have to re-learn how to walk, swallow, and even speak again.

Flores still has a feeding tube and is in a rehab facility, but is far from recovered.

Rodriguez said she had to quit job to be Flores’ full-time caregiver.

“I don’t know when I’m going to be able to work again,” she said. “She needs assistance 24/7.”

Martinez believes Flores will have a full recovery and pursue her college and career goals. She hopes her daughter’s story touches someone and is a reminder to drive safe.

Anyone looking to help can donate at a GoFundMe page created by the family.

Rosa Flores, de 19 años, viajaba como pasajera en un automóvil cuando se vio involucrada en un violento accidente frente al campus Kendall del Miami Dade College el 3 de septiembre.

“Cuando estaban girando para entrar al campus, iban a ingresar cuando una camioneta los impactó”, dijo Martinez.

Flores fue trasladada de urgencia a un hospital en estado crítico, donde permaneció en coma inducido médicamente durante tres semanas.

“Tenía una hemorragia interna y en el cráneo, así que tuvieron que intervenirla para drenar la sangre”, dijo Martinez. “Tenía moretones por todo el cuerpo”.

Flores cursaba su primer año en el Miami Dade College y aspiraba a trabajar en el campo de la tecnología de imágenes por resonancia magnética.

La joven fue sometida a varias cirugías y los médicos le dijeron a su madre que tendrá que aprender nuevamente a caminar, tragar e incluso hablar.

Flores todavía tiene una sonda de alimentación y se encuentra en un centro de rehabilitación, pero aún está lejos de recuperarse.

Rodriguez dijo que tuvo que renunciar a su trabajo para convertirse en la cuidadora de Flores a tiempo completo.

“No sé cuándo podré volver a trabajar”, dijo. “Ella necesita asistencia las 24 horas del día, los siete días de la semana”.

Martinez cree que Flores se recuperará por completo y podrá continuar con sus estudios universitarios y sus metas profesionales. Espera que la historia de su hija conmueva a alguien y sirva como recordatorio de la importancia de conducir con precaución.

The mailers are sponsored by Enough Promises Ohio PAC and began arriving in voters' mailboxes in recent days. They promote independent candidate Greg Levy over Brown with messages such as “Join the Revolution” and “Send a Worker to the Senate." Levy describes himself as “Socialist running for the U.S. Senate to represent Ohio in 2026” on his X account.

Levy condemned the fliers for falsely impersonating his campaign and engaging in “dirty tricks” designed to mislead voters. He said he is considering legal action.

“This is a highly undemocratic practice and does a disservice to voters in Ohio and throughout the country,” he wrote on X.

According to Federal Election Commission filings, Enough Promises Ohio was founded on Sept. 29. It has not yet had to disclose its contributors, but additional federal filings lay out a trail of associations linked to Republicans.

Enough Promises paid the firm Seven Farms more than $397,000 on two dates last week for printing, postage and mail services either supporting Levy or opposing Brown. Seven Farms, also a new entity, lists as its address the same South Carolina business suite as the one used by Whistlestop Strategies LLC.

Whistlestop is a direct mail outfit operated by Big Dog Strategies LLC, the strategy firm that advises Trump's MAGA Inc. super PAC and that managed Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno's successful campaign against Brown in 2024.

Messages seeking comment were left with Enough Promises Ohio and Big Dog.

MAGA Inc. and affiliated groups began pouring huge sums of cash into midterm races in September, after party officials had been urging Trump to begin spending some of the fortune he had amassed to help embattled Republicans before it was too late.

Volusia Sheriff’s Office divers found 3-year-old Kashh Williams and 5-year-old Elijah Hawkins dead in a retention pond on Sunday morning, according to the Daytona Beach Police Department.

“The mother, she is a single mother, she fed the children at about 11 a.m. They ate breakfast. She turned around and put out lunch for them at about 5 p.m. She then went to lie down to take a short nap,” Chief Jakari E. Young said on Monday afternoon during a news conference.

When the mother woke up on Saturday evening, the boys had vanished — despite a child-safety lock at the apartment’s door in Daytona Beach’s Clyde Morris area, according to Young.

Surveillance video showed the boys and the family dog going into the retention pond shortly after 5:55 p.m. on Saturday, and both boys drowning minutes later, according to Young.

“At 6:06 p.m., we can see mom searching the area, and she calls for the dog because she can still see the dog,” Young said, adding that she called 911 shortly before 6:20 p.m.

There was a search in the area of The Reserve at Clyde Morries Landings, an apartment complex at 1361 North Clyde Morris Boulevard, according to police.

Elijah, who was diagnosed with autism, was a student at Turie T. Small Elementary School, at 839 Loomis Ave., according to Young.

“Several teachers, as well as the principal, came out. Once they found out what was happening, they participated in the search. And in my opinion, they went above and beyond their call of duty as educators because they are also a part of this community,” Young said.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement had activated a statewide missing child alert before DBPD announced that VCSO divers had found the boys dead early Sunday morning in the pond south of LPGA Boulevard and east of North Clyde Morris Boulevard.

“I think there was maybe approximately an hour in between locating one from the other ... the emotional toll it takes on them as first responders and their very difficult job, to get down in that water and recover those kids, I can’t thank them enough,” Young said about the VCSO divers who met with a therapist on Sunday.

Mourners dropped off balloons, plush toys, and candles in a grassy area on Sunday near the retention pond. There was a vigil on Sunday evening.

“This is still an ongoing investigation ... there is no obvious signs of foul play ... This appears to be an extremely tragic accident,” Young said.

Detectives asked anyone with information about the case to call the DBPD at 386-671-5100.

Buzos de la Oficina del Sheriff de Volusia encontraron sin vida a Kashh Williams, de 3 años, y Elijah Hawkins, de 5 años, en un estanque de retención de aguas pluviales la mañana del domingo, según el Departamento de Policía de Daytona Beach.

“La madre es soltera. Alimentó a los niños alrededor de las 11 a.m. Desayunaron. Luego, alrededor de las 5 p.m., les sirvió el almuerzo. Después se fue a acostar para tomar una siesta corta”, dijo el jefe de policía Jakari E. Young durante una conferencia de prensa la tarde del lunes.

Cuando la madre despertó la noche del sábado, los niños habían desaparecido, a pesar de que la puerta del apartamento tenía un seguro de protección infantil en el área de Clyde Morris, en Daytona Beach, según Young.

Un video de vigilancia mostró a los niños y al perro de la familia entrando al estanque de retención poco después de las 5:55 p.m. del sábado, y a ambos niños ahogándose minutos después, según Young.

“A las 6:06 p.m., podemos ver a la madre buscando por el área y llamando al perro porque todavía podía verlo”, dijo Young, y agregó que llamó al 911 poco antes de las 6:20 p.m.

Se realizó una búsqueda en el área de The Reserve at Clyde Morris Landings, un complejo de apartamentos ubicado en 1361 North Clyde Morris Boulevard, según la policía.

Elijah, quien había sido diagnosticado con autismo, era estudiante de la escuela primaria Turie T. Small, ubicada en 839 Loomis Ave., según Young.

“Varios maestros, así como el director, acudieron al lugar. Una vez que se enteraron de lo que estaba sucediendo, participaron en la búsqueda. Y, en mi opinión, hicieron mucho más de lo que les correspondía como educadores porque también forman parte de esta comunidad”, dijo Young.

El Departamento de Aplicación de la Ley de Florida había activado una alerta estatal por menores desaparecidos antes de que el Departamento de Policía de Daytona Beach anunciara que buzos de la Oficina del Sheriff de Volusia habían encontrado a los niños sin vida la madrugada del domingo en el estanque ubicado al sur de LPGA Boulevard y al este de North Clyde Morris Boulevard.

“Creo que transcurrió aproximadamente una hora entre el hallazgo de uno y el otro, el impacto emocional que esto tiene en ellos como socorristas y el trabajo tan difícil que realizan, al tener que entrar en esa agua y recuperar a esos niños, no puedo agradecerles lo suficiente”, dijo Young sobre los buzos de la Oficina del Sheriff de Volusia, quienes se reunieron con un terapeuta el domingo.

Personas que acudieron a rendir homenaje a los niños dejaron globos, peluches y velas en una zona de césped cerca del estanque de retención el domingo. Esa noche se realizó una vigilia.

“Esta sigue siendo una investigación en curso, no hay señales evidentes de que se haya cometido un delito, todo parece indicar que se trató de un accidente extremadamente trágico”, dijo Young.

Los detectives pidieron a cualquier persona que tenga información sobre el caso que llame al Departamento de Policía de Daytona Beach al 386-671-5100.

The shooter in Friday's attack was Matthew Stone Sr., 45, according to Erie County coroner Lyell Cook. Stone took his own life at the home, Erie Police Chief Rick Lorah said.

According to Cook, the adult victims were Michelle Stone, 44; Angelina Stone, 24, who was due to give birth Monday; Jonathan Stone, 19; Matthew Stone, 21, and two women who lived at other addresses: Lora Roberts, 37, and Twila Tanner, 51. He said a 5-year-old boy and a 1-year-old girl also died, but that state law prevented him from releasing their names.

At a memorial to the victims, Julius Windham said his daughter Amarianna was the toddler who was killed. The girl's mother was Angelina Stone, who was also the mother of the boy who died, he said, noting that attacker was a grandfather and the family patriarch.

Family friend Nicole Eller said Roberts frequently went to the house to help during the pregnancy of her niece and neighbor, Angelina Stone.

Roberts, identified by friends as a mother of five who was engaged to be married, was a volunteer and former board member for a community group that helped homeless people. She wrote a July 15 Facebook post decrying recent shootings in Erie.

“Erie we need to do better!!" she wrote. "Life is precious and its heartbreaking to see so much pain and violence. Check on the people you love, and always choose kindness.”

Video and audio evidence recovered by investigators included muffled gunshot sounds coming from inside the home just before two “distressed” women arrived and began pounding on the door, Lorah said. The gunman then came out and shot them as they ran toward him, before returning inside.

Roberts and Tanner, who was the only non-relative, were killed outside the home, Lorah said.

The police chief hasn't said what the gunman's possible motives were, but he suggested that his mental health could have been a factor. He said investigators would talk to relatives and examine the cellphones of the women who were killed outside the home.

Erie is about 120 miles (190 kilometers) north of Pittsburgh.

Police took Blair, 54, into custody late Sunday when the Delta Air Lines plane was parked at the gate at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said in a statement. The Associated Press contacted the airline for comment on Monday afternoon.

Blair and one of the flight attendants were taken to a hospital for evaluation, the Port Authority said.

The FBI, which is responsible for investigating all assaults aboard aircraft, declined to release details.

“Yesterday, we were informed by our partners at Port Authority Police Department of a potential assault aboard a flight that arrived into JFK. As per long-standing DOJ policy, we do not comment on ongoing investigations,” said Sydney Kleinmann, a spokesperson for the FBI NY.

Messages seeking comment from the state and federal prosecutors' offices in New York, as well as Blair's publicist, were also sent on Monday.

In a statement to several media outlets, a Blair representative said she had a medical emergency that led to the alleged conduct.

Blair had major roles in films including 1999's “Cruel Intentions,” 2001's “Legally Blonde” and 2004's “Hellboy.”

In recent years, she has advocated for disability rights. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018. In 2023, she joined President Joe Biden at the White House to celebrate the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

In 2016, Blair apologized for making statements she regretted on a flight from Cancun to Los Angeles, saying that she mixed alcohol with medication, which made her black out.

Las Vegas igualó un récord histórico de precipitación diaria para el mes de octubre tras recibir 2,74 centímetros (1,08 pulgadas) de lluvia hasta la mañana del domingo, según el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional. La última vez que cayó tanta lluvia en la ciudad en un solo día de octubre fue en 1947.

Videos publicados en redes sociales mostraron un torrente de agua chocando contra una calle cerca del Strip de Las Vegas, con una noria y casinos al fondo.

Andrew Orrison, meteorólogo del servicio meteorológico, indicó que las inundaciones seguían siendo un riesgo para la región el lunes.

“Hemos visto lo peor de lo que trajo Rachel... pero, por desgracia, estamos viendo que el tiempo inestable aún persiste”, declaró Orrison.

El servicio meteorológico emitió alertas por inundaciones hasta la tarde del lunes para una amplia franja de Utah, el sureste de Idaho y el norte y centro de Arizona, incluido el Gran Cañón.

Orrison explicó que la lluvia adicional no está asociada con Rachel, sino con otro sistema meteorológico que se desplaza por el Oeste. Se prevé que las precipitaciones terminen para el miércoles.

El viento, la lluvia y olas provocadas por Rachel azotaron la costa del sur de California durante el fin de semana, lo que obligó a residentes junto al océano en Long Beach a evacuar. Las olas destrozaron un malecón histórico y golpearon viviendas costeras.

Se prevé clima despejado en la Costa Este ahora que el huracán Isaías se ha desplazado mar adentro.

Al menos cuatro muertes han sido vinculadas con Isaías, el primer huracán de la temporada del Atlántico, que tocó tierra como huracán de categoría 2 el viernes cerca de Destin, Florida, un destino vacacional de la Costa del Golfo lleno de edificios altos y tiendas para turistas. Luego, la tormenta irrumpió en Alabama con vientos de fuerza de tormenta tropical antes de dirigirse más al norte.

Unos 158.000 clientes seguían sin electricidad la mañana del lunes en el Panhandle de Florida y el sur de Alabama, según poweroutage.com. El gobernador de Florida, Ron DeSantis, estimó que casi todos tendrán el servicio restablecido para la noche del martes.

Se espera un tiempo más seco durante los próximos días en zonas del Atlántico medio hacia el sureste, incluidos los Apalaches del sur.

Orrison comentó que en algunas de esas zonas se sentirá “un poco veraniego”, con temperaturas superiores a lo normal esta semana.

The NFL issued the suspension on Monday, saying the headbutt of a player without a helmet during Sunday's 32-29 win against Seattle was "contrary to the generally understood principles of sportsmanship.”

Greenlaw will miss San Francisco's game next Monday night against Washington pending an appeal on Tuesday.

“I was disappointed they decided to do that. But it is what it is,” coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday. “Hopefully the appeal process can go better tomorrow and we can get it rescinded. But I’ll wait to see how that goes.”

Greenlaw has a history of infractions. He has been ejected two other times in his career. He had a sideline altercation with Philadelphia’s head of security Dom DiSandro in 2023 and was also disqualified for a helmet-to-helmet hit on the Chargers’ Justin Herbert in 2022.

Greenlaw was also suspended for one game last season when he played in Denver for berating an official after a win over the New York Giants.

Greenlaw was fined $11,941 for taunting the Broncos’ sideline in a win last week.

The latest infraction came in the second quarter on Sunday, when Sam Darnold scrambled and was hit late by Greenlaw after going out of bounds, leading to a personal foul in a game San Francisco went on to win 32-29.

Several Seahawks defenders immediately confronted Greenlaw after the hit and Greenlaw responded by head-butting Jones. Jones was bleeding after the hit and Greenlaw was ejected.

Greenlaw returned to San Francisco this season after playing for the Broncos in 2025. He has 37 tackles in five games.

Reyes issued the order following a tense three-hour hearing in which she blistered the government for having deceived her with its actions over the holiday weekend.

Reyes said the 24-hour temporary order could be extended to 14 days if necessary. It was limited to one day while the government tries to find a key Trump administration official to discuss why a massive tree-cutting at the park needed to occur over the holiday weekend, with little notification to plaintiffs in a lawsuit trying to halt renovation plans or the judge.

It’s the latest example of the erosion of trust between the government and the independent judiciary, as the Trump administration tries to steamroll scrutiny of its actions, from the White House ballroom to immigration enforcement.

The hearing started with a blistering 15-minute statement from Reyes, who has declined repeated motions from the plaintiffs to halt work by the administration out of concern that its strategy has seemed to be move ahead on projects despite court actions.

“I am thoroughly unamused right now," Reyes said. “I do not know how I could have made it any plainer that I did not want what was to happen, to happen.” The judge added, “I have given the government every single benefit of the doubt that it would not do precisely what it has done.”

She told the government's lawyers sharply, “I wanted you all to be better than you have been.”

The emergency hearing on a holiday expanded as the judge ordered the government to get various participants in the decision-making process into the hearing remotely.

Reyes plans to hold another hearing Tuesday and wants to hear from Greg Wischer, deputy chief of staff at the Interior Department. Wischer pushed for the work to be done urgently, according to testimony from Frank Lands, deputy director of operations for the National Park Service.

Reyes and plaintiff’s attorney Abbe Lowell raised numerous questions about the timeline and chain of command for the decision and whether the witnesses were aware of other plans by the administration.

Kevin Griess, the superintendent of the National Mall and Memorial Parks, cited a 2019 National Park Service Cultural Landscape Report as the guide for the work.

Lands said it was part of Trump’s 2025 order to make D.C. safe and beautiful. Under questioning from Reyes, he acknowledged that while other city golf courses were also mentioned in the Cultural Landscape Report, there had been no discussions of work at them.

Broglio, in a statement Monday, also stipulated that any Catholic soldier assigned to the U.S. Army firing squad should ask to be excused from that duty, which he described as contrary to the teachings of the church. He joins other Catholic leaders in speaking out against the death penalty and the livestream plans.

Hasan, an Army psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people in 2009 at Fort Hood in Texas, is scheduled to be executed by firing squad on Dec. 3.

Broglio recalled that he presided over the funeral of Michael Grant Cahill, the only civilian killed in that attack.

The crime committed by Hasan "was heinous, but does exposing the public to his execution serve any purpose?" Broglio asked.

“The US military generally enjoys a good reputation in the world,” Broglio added. “Is there really a value to throwing them in the same boat with terrorists by broadcasting the image of the execution of a man in a wheelchair to the whole world?"

It happened at around noon, a few miles west of Miami Executive Airport, near Krome Avenue and Southwest 122nd Street.

According to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, nobody was hurt.

Authorities have not yet said what led the pilot to put the plane down.

Federal Aviation Administration records show it’s a Cessna 172R Skyhawk single-engine plane manufactured in 1997 and registered to Silver Express, doing business as Flight Academy, which is based at Miami Executive.

El incidente ocurrió alrededor del mediodía, a unas pocas millas al oeste del Aeropuerto Ejecutivo de Miami, cerca de Krome Avenue y Southwest 122nd Street.

Según los Bomberos de Miami-Dade, nadie resultó herido.

Las autoridades aún no han informado qué llevó al piloto a realizar el aterrizaje de emergencia.

Los registros de la Administración Federal de Aviación (FAA) muestran que se trata de una avioneta monomotor Cessna 172R Skyhawk, fabricada en 1997 y registrada a nombre de Silver Express, que opera bajo el nombre comercial Flight Academy, con sede en el Aeropuerto Ejecutivo de Miami.

Las Vegas tied an all-time daily rainfall record for the month of October after receiving 1.08 inches of rain into Sunday morning, according to the National Weather Service. The last time that much rain fell on the city in one October day was in 1947.

Videos posted on social media showed a torrent of water rushing through a street near the Las Vegas Strip, with a Ferris wheel and casinos in the background.

Andrew Orrison, a weather service meteorologist, said localized flash flooding was still a risk for the region Monday.

“We’ve seen the worst of what Rachel brought ... but unfortunately we are looking at the disturbed weather still lingering,” Orrison said.

The weather service issued flood watches through Monday afternoon for a large swath of Utah, southeast Idaho, and northern and central Arizona, including the Grand Canyon.

The additional rainfall is not associated with Rachel, but a different weather system moving across the West, Orrison said. The precipitation is forecast to end by Wednesday.

Wind, rain, and unusually large waves caused by Rachel battered the Southern California coast over the weekend, forcing oceanside residents in Long Beach to evacuate. Waves tore apart a historic boardwalk and smashed against coastal homes.

The East Coast is forecast to remain clear since Hurricane Isaias has moved well offshore.

At least four deaths have been linked to Isaias, the first hurricane of the Atlantic season, which came ashore as a Category 2 hurricane Friday near Destin, Florida, a Gulf Coast vacation spot filled with high-rises and tourist shops. The storm then roared into Alabama with tropical-force winds before heading farther north.

About 158,000 customers remained without power Monday morning in the Florida Panhandle and southern Alabama, according to poweroutage.com. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he expected nearly everyone to have it restored by Tuesday night.

Drier weather is expected over the next few days across areas of the mid-Atlantic down through the Southeast, including the southern Appalachians.

It will feel “a little summerish” in some of those areas with higher than normal temperatures this week, Orrison said.

While the size of Russia's diesel exports is relatively small and unlikely to significantly impact prices, the revenue will help Moscow replenish its war coffers and — more importantly — undermine efforts by Kyiv and its European allies to put up a united front against President Vladimir Putin.

Along with President Donald Trump suggesting that Ukraine should get a new leader to replace President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the developments strengthen the Kremlin’s hand at a critical junction of the war, amid relentless attacks by Russia on energy systems and other vital infrastructure.

Ahead of next month's midterm elections, Trump blamed a spike in diesel prices on Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries, even though the U.S.-led war in Iran has sent global energy prices soaring.

Mark Galeotti, a Russia expert who heads the Mayak Intelligence consultancy, described the deal that Trump announced Friday as an “astonishing birthday present” for Putin, two days after he turned 74.

While Russia’s diesel exports could be a “drop in the ocean compared with actual overall demand,” Galeotti said it was “a gift for Putin, even if a single barrel of diesel is not exported.”

That's because “it drives another and increasingly thick wedge between Trump and Zelenskyy,” he said in a podcast Sunday.

Russian strikes continue despite Trump's ‘energy truce’

Even though Trump declared Sunday that Moscow and Kyiv had agreed to an “energy truce” effective immediately, Russia continued attacking Ukraine’s energy facilities, said Zelenskyy, who has criticized the diesel deal as a show of weakness.

Zelenskyy emphasized that he is open to an energy ceasefire if it includes a halt to Russian attacks on Ukraine's power grid.

Russia has not said whether it agrees to such a ceasefire, and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday only that “contacts are ongoing."

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov shrugged off Zelenskyy’s comments as an attempt “to promote his interest in a ceasefire.”

“I don’t think he deserves a respite,” Lavrov said.

Galeotti predicted that Putin is unlikely to halt attacks on Ukraine’s energy facilities, which he sees as “absolutely central to his winter air war strategy.”

Russia stepped up aerial attacks on Ukraine in recent months with ballistic missiles and new jet-powered drones, taking advantage of Kyiv's shortage of U.S.-made Patriot interceptors whose stockpiles have been drained by the war in Iran.

Putin has repeatedly emphasized that Moscow wants a comprehensive, long-term agreement, not a temporary halt to hostilities.

Asked to comment on Zelenskyy’s statement that Ukraine needs a minimum of 60 days to prepare elections, Peskov said Putin could order a ceasefire only on the day of voting.

Russia’s fuel crisis causes doubts about export capacity

In recent months, Ukraine launched successful aerial attacks that knocked out over half of Russia's oil refining capacity, according to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry. The strikes caused a severe fuel crisis with long lines at gas stations, bringing the war home to millions.

Ukraine also methodically struck oil terminals at the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk and targeted dozens of tankers at sea, seeking to derail Moscow’s oil exports and drain Moscow’s revenues.

Putin acknowledged the damage but noted that Moscow is capable of inflicting much bigger blows to Ukraine.

Some officials and analysts questioned whether Russia will be able to provide diesel supplies under the deal announced by Trump.

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski voiced doubts about it, saying that even the Russian capital is experiencing fuel shortages.

Others say Moscow actually has a surplus of diesel, now that demand has eased following the end of the harvest season.

“Russia planned to export more diesel anyway,” said Janis Kluge, head of the Eastern Europe and Eurasia Division at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs.

Still, some Russian motorists exhausted by months of waiting at gas stations were worried the new deal could leave fewer supplies for the domestic market.

“I don’t think that’s very good, because you can see what’s going on at gas stations — people are standing in line around the clock," said Marat Salavatov, waiting to refuel at a Moscow gas station.

Russian officials sought to quell such fears, saying there will be enough supply to keep the domestic market stable.

The volume of production is able "to fully satisfy the needs of the local market while delivering the agreed amounts to the global market,” Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said in a government statement announcing the lifting of the diesel export ban that had been in place since July.

Trump’s criticism of Zelenskyy is seen as aiding Russia

In addition to the diesel deal, Trump unleashed biting criticism of Zelenskyy that marks perhaps the lowest point in their relationship since the disastrous Oval Office meeting in February 2025.

That could be even more important for the Kremlin.

Trump’s remark that it was time for a new president in Ukraine and his suggestion that Zelenskyy has not done enough to end the war topped the news on Russian state television and was widely discussed by pro-Kremlin commentators and military bloggers.

Officials in Kyiv viewed the diesel deal and the hostile rhetoric as a political move aimed at making Zelenskyy a scapegoat for U.S. voters ahead of the midterms, said Oleksandr Merezhko, a lawmaker from Zelenskyy’s party.

“We are not happy when our ally and partner gives money to a dictator who is killing us,” Merezhko said. “By demanding that Ukraine stop striking Russian oil refineries, Trump looks as though he cares more about the Russian war machine than about the civilians Putin is killing."

Kyiv fears that easing sanctions without meaningful concessions from Russia could weaken Washington’s leverage over the Kremlin and further diminish prospects for fair terms to end the war.

The Trump-Zelenskyy tensions come as Kyiv continues to rely heavily on Washington for military assistance, including Patriot systems and vital intelligence. A disruption of that support could leave Ukraine more vulnerable.

Galeotti said Trump’s comments casting Zelenskyy as an obstacle to peace were “benefit No. 1 for Putin.”

Trump’s move also raises questions about the European Union’s efforts to go after Russia’s so-called shadow fleet of tankers carrying oil to global markets, he said, observing that Europe has been left in a position "where it’s obviously just regarded as a vassal region that has to accept whatever policy comes from the White House.”

The diesel deal also will boost Russia’s credentials with developing countries, helping its posture as a great global player worthy of being a partner, Galeotti said.

Tatiana Stanovaya of the Carnegie Russia and Eurasia Center said the move could look like a “moment of triumph” for Putin.

"He has secured an economic deal, albeit a modest one, before a peace settlement, departing from Washington’s previous position,” Stanovaya said in a commentary.

She argued that Putin will see Trump’s current stance as “creating more favorable conditions for intensifying military pressure, aimed primarily at triggering an internal political breakdown in Ukraine rather than achieving a battlefield breakthrough.”

Still, Dmitry Medvedev, who served as a placeholder president in 2008-12 to allow Putin to get around constitutional term limits, warned against excessive optimism over Trump's comments.

“Only our guys, ballistics and Geranium (drones) make victory closer,” said Medvedev, now deputy head of Russia’s Security Council.

El gobernador de Florida, Ron DeSantis, confirmó dos muertes relacionadas con la tormenta en Florida. Otras dos personas murieron en Alabama después de que un árbol cayera sobre su vivienda.

El noroeste de Florida sufrió algunos de los peores daños después de que Isaias tocara tierra cerca de Destin a última hora del viernes, con vientos de hasta 110 millas por hora.

La poderosa tormenta arrancó árboles de raíz, derribó líneas eléctricas y dejó varias pulgadas de lluvia a lo largo de la costa del Golfo. Algunas gasolineras sufrieron graves daños.

DeSantis dijo que Florida planea solicitar asistencia federal por desastre una vez que los funcionarios locales completen sus evaluaciones.

“Vamos a presentar una declaración de desastre una vez que recibamos los datos de los condados”, dijo el gobernador.

Labores de limpieza en marcha en todo el sureste

Equipos de Global Empowerment Mission estuvieron entre los que ayudaron a los residentes de Pensacola mientras las comunidades comenzaban a recuperarse de la tormenta.

En un vecindario, una vivienda que todavía estaba en construcción quedó destruida.

“Esta casa que estaba en construcción quedó derribada hasta los cimientos”, dijo un trabajador.

La destrucción se extendió más allá de Florida.

En el suroeste de Georgia, un conductor captó en video un tornado generado por el huracán.

Andrea Corbett, propietaria de una vivienda en el condado DeKalb, Georgia, describió los aterradores momentos mientras la tormenta atravesaba su vecindario.

“Me levanté, no podía ver nada por la ventana y comencé a entrar un poco en pánico, pero, eh, finalmente logré tranquilizarme y llamé al 911”, dijo Corbett.

Más al norte, las fuertes lluvias provocaron que el agua se precipitara sobre una carretera en Chimney Rock, Carolina del Norte.

Los fuertes vientos también volcaron varios vehículos en un estacionamiento de Fayetteville, incluido un camión de carga.

FEMA evalúa los daños y las necesidades de recuperación

Mientras continúan las labores de limpieza, la Agencia Federal para el Manejo de Emergencias (FEMA) trabaja para determinar el alcance de la destrucción y qué asistencia podrían necesitar las comunidades afectadas.

El ex administrador de FEMA, Craig Fugate, dijo que los funcionarios deben evaluar los daños a las viviendas y determinar cuántos residentes se han visto afectados.

“¿Cuáles son los daños a las viviendas? ¿Será necesaria asistencia para alojamiento temporal? ¿Cuántas personas se han visto afectadas?”, dijo Fugate.

Explicó que esas evaluaciones ayudarán a determinar si es necesaria la asistencia federal.

“Esas son cosas que formarán parte de la evaluación de daños y, en última instancia, de las recomendaciones al presidente si se requiere asistencia”, dijo Fugate.

Equipos de rescate del sur de Florida regresan a casa

Mientras tanto, se espera que los equipos Florida Task Force One y Florida Task Force Two regresen al sur de Florida después de sus despliegues en el noroeste del estado.

Se espera que los socorristas de Florida Task Force Two regresen alrededor de las 2 p.m. del lunes, mientras que el personal de Florida Task Force One tiene previsto regresar alrededor de las 3 p.m.

El Departamento de Bomberos y Rescate de la ciudad de Miami publicó un video captado durante el despliegue de Florida Task Force Two, en el que se observa a los equipos enfrentando carreteras inundadas y utilizando botes de aire y vehículos todoterreno para ayudar a los residentes de Mossy Head.

Los equipos fueron desplegados para ayudar en la respuesta al huracán Isaias mientras las comunidades de toda la región comienzan el proceso de recuperación.

Según el teniente de la FHP, Alex Camacho, los agentes intentaron detener al conductor de un BMW plateado por exceso de velocidad alrededor de las 4:13 a.m. en la carretera estatal 826 en dirección sur, cerca de Northwest 47th Avenue.

El conductor se negó a detenerse, lo que llevó a los agentes a iniciar una persecución, dijo Camacho.

Las autoridades indicaron que el conductor intentó salir de la autopista hacia Northwest 154th Street, pero no logró tomar una curva.

El BMW se salió de la carretera y descendió por un terraplén junto al arcén, donde chocó contra una alcantarilla de drenaje y volcó, dijo Camacho.

Según Camacho, una patrulla identificada de la FHP también descendió por el terraplén y chocó contra el BMW.

Los tres ocupantes del BMW sufrieron lesiones que no fueron consideradas potencialmente mortales y fueron trasladados a un hospital cercano para recibir tratamiento, informaron las autoridades.

El agente de la FHP involucrado en el accidente no resultó herido.

Las autoridades no divulgaron de inmediato las identidades de los ocupantes del BMW ni proporcionaron información sobre posibles cargos.

At about 7 a.m. on Saturday, Williams, 47, got the attention of a woman who was drinking coffee in an apartment building’s rear stairwell, on the second floor, according to the police officer’s arrest report.

Williams, who is homeless, “made a gesture indicating for her to remain quiet ... exposed his genitals ... and engaged in masturbating ... walked up the stairs past her while still exposing himself,” the police officer wrote, according to the arrest report.

The woman reported that she then ran into her apartment for safety and said she recorded Williams because he had engaged in “similar incidents” in the past, according to the report.

Williams “entered a secured, fully fenced residential property reserved for residents,” and there were “trespassing signs” on display, according to the report.

Williams’s criminal record in Miami-Dade includes eight arrests for trespassing, going back to 2012, and four arrests for cocaine possession, going back to 2022, according to court records.

Miami police officers arrested Williams again shortly before 6:50 p.m. on Saturday near the intersection of Southwest 10th Avenue and Fourth Street, according to the report.

Miami-Dade corrections booked Williams shortly after 8:15 p.m. on Saturday at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, according to inmate records.

Williams appeared in Miami-Dade bond court on Sunday, according to court records. He faced four new charges in two new cases.

In one case, Williams faced charges of cocaine possession and possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to use. His bond was $3,000.

For the case at the apartment building in Little Havana, Williams faced charges of indecent exposure and burglary of an occupied structure. His bond was yet to be set.

Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Michelle Delancy was set to preside over both cases.

Alrededor de las 7 a.m. del sábado, Williams, de 47 años, llamó la atención de una mujer que estaba tomando café en la escalera trasera de un edificio de apartamentos, en el segundo piso, según el informe de arresto del agente de policía.

Williams, quien no tiene hogar, “hizo un gesto indicándole que permaneciera en silencio, se expuso los genitales y comenzó a masturbarse, subió las escaleras pasando junto a ella mientras continuaba exhibiéndose”, escribió el agente de policía, según el informe de arresto.

La mujer informó que luego corrió hacia su apartamento para ponerse a salvo y dijo que grabó a Williams porque había protagonizado “incidentes similares” en el pasado, según el informe.

Williams “ingresó a una propiedad residencial privada, completamente cercada y reservada para los residentes”, donde había “letreros de prohibido el paso” visibles, según el informe.

Los antecedentes penales de Williams en Miami-Dade incluyen ocho arrestos por ingresar ilegalmente a propiedades desde 2012 y cuatro arrestos por posesión de cocaína desde 2022, según los registros judiciales.

Agentes de la policía de Miami arrestaron nuevamente a Williams poco antes de las 6:50 p.m. del sábado cerca de la intersección de Southwest 10th Avenue y Fourth Street, según el informe.

El Departamento de Correcciones de Miami-Dade ingresó a Williams en el Centro Correccional Turner Guilford Knight poco después de las 8:15 p.m. del sábado, según los registros de reclusos.

Williams compareció ante un tribunal de fianzas de Miami-Dade el domingo, según los registros judiciales. Enfrentaba cuatro nuevos cargos en dos casos nuevos.

En uno de los casos, Williams enfrentaba cargos de posesión de cocaína y posesión de parafernalia de drogas con intención de uso. Su fianza fue fijada en $3,000 USD.

En el caso ocurrido en el edificio de apartamentos de La Pequeña Habana, Williams enfrentaba cargos de exhibicionismo indecente y allanamiento de una estructura ocupada. Su fianza aún no había sido fijada.

La jueza del Tribunal de Circuito del Condado Miami-Dade, Michelle Delancy, estaba prevista para presidir ambos casos.

According to FHP Lt. Alex Camacho, troopers attempted to stop a the driver of a silver BMW for excessive speeding around 4:13 a.m. on southbound State Road 826 near Northwest 47th Avenue.

The driver refused to stop, leading troopers on a chase, Camacho said.

Authorities said the driver attempted to exit the highway onto Northwest 154th Street but failed to negotiate a curve.

The BMW veered off the roadway and down a shoulder embankment, where it struck a culvert drain and overturned, Camacho said.

According to Camacho, a marked FHP patrol vehicle also traveled down the embankment and collided with the BMW.

All three occupants of the BMW suffered injuries that were not considered life-threatening and were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment, authorities said.

The FHP trooper involved in the crash was not injured.

Authorities did not immediately release the identities of the BMW’s occupants or provide information about possible charges.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis confirmed two storm-related deaths in Florida. Two additional people were killed in Alabama after a tree fell onto their home.

The Florida Panhandle sustained some of the worst damage after Isaias made landfall near Destin late Friday, bringing winds of up to 110 mph.

The powerful storm uprooted trees, knocked down power lines and dumped several inches of rain across the Gulf Coast. Some gas stations were left heavily damaged.

DeSantis said Florida plans to seek federal disaster assistance after local officials complete their assessments.

“We are going to submit a disaster declaration once we get the data from the counties,” the governor said.

Cleanup efforts underway across the Southeast

Crews with Global Empowerment Mission were among those assisting residents in Pensacola as communities began recovering from the storm.

In one neighborhood, a home that was still under construction was destroyed.

“This house that was under construction was knocked down to the foundation,” a worker said.

The destruction extended beyond Florida.

In southwest Georgia, a driver captured video of a tornado spawned by the hurricane.

Andrea Corbett, a homeowner in DeKalb County, Georgia, described the frightening moments as the storm moved through her neighborhood.

“I got up, I couldn’t see out of the window, and I started to panic a little bit, but, um, eventually pulled myself together, called 911,” Corbett said.

Farther north, heavy rain sent water rushing onto a roadway in Chimney Rock, North Carolina.

Strong winds also overturned several vehicles in a Fayetteville parking lot, including a semitruck.

FEMA assessing damage, recovery needs

As cleanup continues, the Federal Emergency Management Agency is working to determine the extent of the destruction and what assistance affected communities may need.

Former FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate said officials must evaluate damage to homes and determine how many residents have been affected.

“What are the impacts to housing? Is there going to be a need for temporary housing assistance? How many people have been impacted?” Fugate said.

He explained that those assessments will help determine whether federal assistance is necessary.

“Those are things that will go into the damage assessment and ultimately in the recommendations to the president if assistance is required,” Fugate said.

South Florida rescue teams returning home

Meanwhile, Florida Task Force One and Florida Task Force Two are expected to return to South Florida following their deployments to the Panhandle.

Florida Task Force Two first responders are expected back around 2 p.m. Monday, while Florida Task Force One personnel are expected to return around 3 p.m.

City of Miami Fire Rescue released video captured during the deployment of Florida Task Force Two encountering flooded roads, using airboats and ATVs to help residents in Mossy Head.

The teams were deployed to assist with the response to Hurricane Isaias as communities across the region begin the recovery process.

On Monday, Manuel Antonio Farfán Cabello was at the Broward County Main Jail in Fort Lauderdale, accused of fatally stabbing his mother, Ylda Lucia Cabello Ynocente, on Friday in Tamarac, records show.

“My nephew is schizophrenic, and it’s painful. I know that people might look at him and not understand. They may judge him, but my nephew, as the law says, he has rights too,” Farfán Cabello’s aunt Rocio Untiveros, who lives in Peru, told Local 10 News in Spanish.

A Facebook account showed photos and videos of Cabello Ynocente and Farfán Cabello sharing a love of soccer. She identified as a native of Huancayo, Peru, who had studied accounting at the public university there.

“He was at Boca High School. He was a soccer player too. He was very good,” Oscar Montero, Cabello Ynocente’s ex-husband, told Local 10 News about Farfán Cabello.

Neighbors in Tamarac said a surveillance video shows Farfán Cabello running from house to house asking for money on Friday afternoon.

Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested Farfán Cabello at the two-bedroom house at 5301 NW 28 Ave., after fire rescue personnel declared Cabello Ynocente dead at about 7:45 p.m. on Friday, records show.

On Saturday, a BSO dive team searched for evidence in a canal along Prospect Road, near Northwest 28th Avenue.

Broward County Circuit Judge George Odom was set to preside over the capital homicide case that prosecutors filed against Farfán Cabello on Saturday, according to court records.

Farfán Cabello faced a first-degree premeditated murder charge. He appeared in bond court on Sunday morning. A judge denied him bond and ordered a mental health evaluation.

Farfán Cabello turns 29 on Oct. 16. Untiveros said she wants to help reunite him with family and to make sure that Cabello Ynocente has a funeral and burial in Peru.

El lunes, Manuel Antonio Farfán Cabello permanecía detenido en la cárcel principal del condado Broward, en Fort Lauderdale, acusado de apuñalar mortalmente a su madre, Ylda Lucia Cabello Ynocente, el viernes en Tamarac, según muestran los registros.

“Mi sobrino es esquizofrénico y es doloroso. Sé que las personas pueden verlo y no entender. Pueden juzgarlo, pero mi sobrino, como dice la ley, también tiene derechos”, dijo en español a Local 10 News Rocio Untiveros, tía de Farfán Cabello, quien vive en Perú.

Una cuenta de Facebook mostraba fotografías y videos de Cabello Ynocente y Farfán Cabello compartiendo su pasión por el fútbol. Ella se identificaba como originaria de Huancayo, Perú, donde había estudiado contabilidad en la universidad pública de esa ciudad.

“Él estudiaba en Boca High School. También era futbolista. Era muy bueno”, dijo a Local 10 News Oscar Montero, ex esposo de Cabello Ynocente, sobre Farfán Cabello.

Vecinos de Tamarac dijeron que un video de vigilancia muestra a Farfán Cabello corriendo de casa en casa pidiendo dinero la tarde del viernes.

Agentes de la Oficina del Sheriff de Broward (BSO) arrestaron a Farfán Cabello en la vivienda de dos habitaciones ubicada en 5301 NW 28 Ave., después de que el personal de bomberos y rescate declarara muerta a Cabello Ynocente alrededor de las 7:45 p.m. del viernes, según los registros.

El sábado, un equipo de buzos de la BSO buscó pruebas en un canal a lo largo de Prospect Road, cerca de Northwest 28th Avenue.

El juez del Tribunal de Circuito del Condado Broward, George Odom, estaba previsto para presidir el caso de homicidio capital que los fiscales presentaron contra Farfán Cabello el sábado, según los registros judiciales.

Farfán Cabello enfrentaba un cargo de asesinato premeditado en primer grado. Compareció ante un tribunal de fianzas la mañana del domingo. Un juez le negó el derecho a fianza y ordenó una evaluación de salud mental.

Farfán Cabello cumple 29 años el 16 de octubre. Untiveros dijo que quiere ayudar a reunirlo con su familia y asegurarse de que Cabello Ynocente tenga un funeral y sea sepultada en Perú.

El centro del huracán, que hace pocas horas actuaba como una tormenta de categoría 3, se desplazaba paralelo a las costas mexicanas y se localizaba a 95 kilómetros al oeste-suroeste de Cabo Corrientes, en el estado occidental de Jalisco, ocasionando fuertes lluvias y vientos sostenidos de 165 kilómetros por hora (105 millas por hora), según el Centro Nacional de Huracanes de Estados Unidos en Miami (NHC según sus siglas en inglés). Se anticipa que permanezca como un peligroso huracán.

Las bandas nubosas de Simón están ocasionando inundaciones y deslaves a lo largo de la costa del Pacífico mexicano impactando en los estados de Guerrero, Michoacán, Colima, Jalisco, Nayarit y Sinaloa.

Las autoridades mexicanas informaron el lunes sobre la muerte de una mujer de 71 años por la caída de un muro en la ciudad de Chilpancingo, capital de Guerrero.

Ante el avance del huracán hacia el norte del país, específicamente en dirección hacia las costas de la ciudad portuaria de Mazatlán, en Sinaloa, las autoridades iniciaron operaciones preventivas, indicó el lunes la coordinadora nacional de Protección Civil, Laura Velázquez, en la conferencia presidencial matutina.

El cese de las lluvias en la ciudad turística de Puerto Vallarta, en Jalisco, llevó a sus habitantes a retomar el lunes progresivamente las actividades normales, aunque las escuelas y el aeropuerto permanecían cerrados.

Las autoridades de Jalisco suspendieron las clases desde el pasado viernes hasta el lunes en 22 municipios costeros, mientras pedían al sector turístico que garantizara que tanto trabajadores como visitantes estuvieran plenamente alojados en refugios o zonas seguras.

A pesar de los riesgos que plantea Simón, los turistas seguían llegando a Puerto Vallarta.

Ricardo Ramírez y Brenda Villarreal, quienes nunca antes habían experimentado un huracán, salieron a buscar comida por el malecón y se encontraron con policías pidiendo a la gente que se resguardara. Ramírez dijo que no estaban preparados en absoluto para esta situación.

“El malecón está cerrado. Sean responsables. ¡Entiendan!”, dijo la policía a los transeúntes a través de un altavoz.

Ramírez indicó que él y Villarreal tenían planeada su vacación de cuatro días desde el año pasado y viajaron desde Guadalajara, la capital de Jalisco.

“No sabemos todavía el tamaño del peligro”, reconoció Villarreal. “Apenas estamos viendo”.

Los impactos de Rachel

En tanto la tormenta tropical Rachel ocasionó graves afectaciones en el estado mexicano de Baja California, donde las fuertes lluvias generaron desbordamientos de ríos, inundaciones y deslaves que dejaron incomunicadas a varias comunidades.

Joe Burrow threw four touchdown passes, and Cincinnati improved to 3-2 while handing Miami its fifth consecutive loss to open the season.

“The plan needs to be better, and the execution needs to be better,” Hafley said. “There’s some good execution and there’s some poor execution, but it’s just not good enough to win.”

The Dolphins had opportunities to challenge the Bengals but struggled with turnovers and missed chances in the red zone. Quarterback Malik Willis threw two interceptions and lost a fumble, while Miami failed to turn a possession at the 1-yard line into a touchdown.

“You’re never going to win a game turning the ball over three times,” Hafley said. “And then when we get down to the one-yard line, we got to score.”

Miami’s offense found some success on the ground, finishing with 217 net rushing yards against what Hafley called one of the best defensive lines the team had faced this season. Running back Ollie Gordon II led the way with 88 yards on 18 carries and a touchdown in his second career start.

But the Dolphins’ inability to protect the ball and sustain drives undermined their rushing production.

“We got to look hard at it during the bye week,” Hafley said of Willis’ ball security. “We talk about ball security all the time and we work on it. We’ve got to do a better job of putting him in those situations and he’s got to have the awareness to protect the ball as well.”

Willis finished with 136 passing yards and two touchdowns, one passing and one rushing, along with two interceptions. He also provided a spark with a 39-yard run, the second-longest rushing attempt by a quarterback in Dolphins history, but Miami could not overcome the mistakes.

Willis said the Dolphins’ late push showed their ability to fight back but acknowledged that repeated execution errors left too many opportunities unused.

“I think we fought and we gave ourselves a chance at the end,” Willis said. “Obviously, it didn’t go the way we wanted to, turnovers, missed assignments, all the same stuff.”

Willis said the team must use the bye week to determine how to start games more effectively and limit the damage when mistakes happen.

“You are inspired by the fight that we put on tape, and you are let down by the results,” Willis added. “I think that’s what we got to figure out over the bye weekend. How can we start faster? How can we attack these execution mishaps?”

“There are opportunities in that game that we just leave out on the field that turn into disastrous plays,” he said. “We got to figure out. If we’re going to mess up, let’s not make it disastrous.”

Bengals safety Jordan Battle intercepted Willis twice, helping Cincinnati maintain control despite Miami’s late rally. Battle had said during the week that he noticed Willis patting the ball before throwing, which he described as a potential tell for defensive backs.

Willis dismissed the suggestion that the interceptions were connected to the habit.

— Ryan Mackey (@RyanMackeyWPLG) October 11, 2026

“Well, no, that’s not a tell. He got tipped balls. I mean, good for him. That’s what defenses are supposed to do at this level,” Willis said. “They’re a great defense and they have a great front. We talked about that all week.”

Willis said the first interception involved a batted pass and described the second as a scramble-drill mistake.

“That has nothing to do with tells,” Willis said. “I don’t think I patted either one of those. I don’t think those are correlated, but I appreciate it.”

Asked whether he had heard Battle’s comments before the game, Willis said reporters had brought them to his attention.

“Y’all told me, I think,” Willis said. “But I didn’t think much of it. Everybody pats the ball. That’s funny. Really funny.”

The Bengals built a 28-7 lead when Burrow connected with Ja’Marr Chase for his fourth touchdown pass. Burrow completed 23 of 32 passes for 190 yards without an interception, spreading the ball to at least nine different receivers.

Miami rallied behind Willis’ mobility and a touchdown pass to Kevin Coleman Jr., followed by a successful two-point conversion to Greg Dulcich. The Dolphins later pulled within a touchdown when Willis scored on a quarterback sneak after connecting with Coleman to move the ball to the 1-yard line.

Cincinnati’s defense forced another fumble late in the game, setting up kicker Evan McPherson’s field goal to extend the lead to 31-18. Miami’s late touchdown made the final margin seven points, but the comeback fell short.

Defensive lineman Zach Sieler said the Dolphins must correct recurring mistakes and respond better when games are on the line.

“We got to make corrections. We got to make them faster if they’re in the game, or if they’re a part of the game plan, we got to do it together, coaches, players alike,” he said. “We got to pull together when the time’s tough in the fourth quarter and if we have a chance to take it, we’ve got to take it.”

Sieler said the team had an opportunity to regroup at halftime but could not finish the job.

Miami’s struggles have tested a young roster that entered the season with hopes of establishing consistency. EDGE Chop Robinson said the team must examine all three phases — offense, defense and special teams — during the upcoming bye week.

“Don’t nobody want to be 0-5, but I’m here, I’m fighting for these guys, and we keep playing hard for these guys and these coaches and we’re going to get it right,” Robinson said. “I believe we’re going to turn it around, so we just got to tune into the details and get better every week.”

Gordon echoed that message, saying the Dolphins must remain united despite outside criticism.

“It just shows with our back against the wall, we’re still going to fight together,” he said. “We just got to continue to ignore the outside noise and not worry about what everybody has to say about us and just stay true to each other. I feel, as long as we stick together, we’ll be fine moving forward.”

Gordon said he also wants to improve his composure after making his second career start. He entered the game coming off a career-high 100-yard rushing performance on nine carries against Minnesota in Week 4.

— Ryan Mackey (@RyanMackeyWPLG) October 11, 2026

“We’ve lost five in a row, so I think this bye week will be good for us if we treat it the right way,” Brooks said. “Use that time to self-reflect. You know what I mean? Everybody looks at what you can do better individually and use that time to rest and recover and kind of reset like you said and try to come back to the next half of the season and put on a better result.”

Hafley said he does not expect the team’s winless start to undermine its commitment to the process.

“It’s who we are. It’s what we have to be,” he said. “We got really good guys. I don’t even think that’s going to be an issue.”

The Dolphins (0-5) enter their bye week with a chance to regroup before traveling to face the New York Jets (2-3) in Week 7.

Joe Burrow lanzó cuatro pases de touchdown y Cincinnati mejoró su récord a 3-2, propinándole a Miami su quinta derrota consecutiva al inicio de la temporada.

“El plan tiene que ser mejor, y la ejecución también”, dijo Hafley. “Hay momentos de buena ejecución y momentos de mala ejecución, pero simplemente no es suficiente para ganar”.

Los Dolphins tuvieron oportunidades para plantar cara a los Bengals, pero sufrieron pérdidas de balón y fallaron ocasiones en la zona roja. El quarterback Malik Willis lanzó dos intercepciones y perdió un balón suelto, mientras que Miami no logró convertir una posesión en la línea de una yarda en un touchdown.

— Ryan Mackey (@RyanMackeyWPLG) 11 de octubre de 2026

“Nunca vas a ganar un partido perdiendo el balón tres veces”, dijo Hafley. “Y cuando llegamos a la línea de una yarda, tenemos que anotar”.

La ofensiva de Miami tuvo cierto éxito por tierra, terminando con 217 yardas netas de carrera contra lo que Hafley describió como una de las mejores líneas defensivas a las que el equipo se había enfrentado esta temporada. El corredor Ollie Gordon II lideró el ataque con 88 yardas en 18 acarreos y un touchdown en su segundo partido como titular.

Pero la incapacidad de los Dolphins para proteger el balón y mantener las series ofensivas perjudicó su producción por tierra.

“Tenemos que analizarlo detenidamente durante la semana de descanso”, dijo Hafley sobre la seguridad de Willis con el balón. “Hablamos de la seguridad con el balón todo el tiempo y trabajamos en ello. Tenemos que hacer un mejor trabajo al ponerlo en esas situaciones y él también tiene que estar atento para proteger el balón”.

Willis terminó con 136 yardas por pase y dos touchdowns, uno por pase y otro por tierra, además de dos intercepciones. También aportó un impulso con una carrera de 39 yardas, la segunda más larga de un quarterback en la historia de los Dolphins, pero Miami no pudo superar los errores.

Willis afirmó que el último esfuerzo de los Dolphins demostró su capacidad de reacción, pero reconoció que los repetidos errores de ejecución dejaron demasiadas oportunidades sin aprovechar.

“Creo que luchamos y nos dimos una oportunidad al final”, dijo Willis. “Obviamente, no salió como queríamos: pérdidas de balón, errores de asignación, lo de siempre”.

Willis afirmó que el equipo debe aprovechar la semana de descanso para determinar cómo empezar los partidos de forma más eficaz y minimizar los daños cuando se produzcan errores.

“Les inspira la pelea que mostramos en el video, pero los resultados los decepcionan”, agregó Willis. “Creo que eso es lo que tenemos que analizar durante el fin de semana de descanso. ¿Cómo podemos empezar con más fuerza? ¿Cómo podemos corregir estos fallos de ejecución?”

“Hay oportunidades en ese partido que dejamos escapar y que terminan en jugadas desastrosas”, dijo. “Tenemos que solucionarlo. Si vamos a cometer un error, que no sea desastroso”.

El safety de los Bengals, Jordan Battle, interceptó dos pases de Willis, lo que ayudó a Cincinnati a mantener el control a pesar de la remontada tardía de Miami. Battle había comentado durante la semana que notó que Willis palmeaba el balón antes de lanzarlo, lo que describió como una señal que podría delatar a los defensas.

Willis desestimó la sugerencia de que las interceptaciones estuvieran relacionadas con el hábito.

— Ryan Mackey (@RyanMackeyWPLG) 11 de octubre de 2026

“Bueno, no, eso no es una señal. Le desviaron algunos pases. O sea, bien por él. Eso es lo que se supone que deben hacer las defensas a este nivel”, dijo Willis. “Son una gran defensa y tienen una gran línea defensiva. Hablamos de eso toda la semana”.

Willis dijo que la primera intercepción se produjo tras un pase desviado y describió la segunda como un error en una jugada improvisada.

“Eso no tiene nada que ver con las señales”, dijo Willis. “No creo haber tocado ninguna de las dos. No creo que estén relacionadas, pero lo agradezco”.

Al preguntársele si había escuchado los comentarios de Battle antes del partido, Willis dijo que los periodistas se los habían hecho llegar.

“Creo que me lo dijeron”, dijo Willis. “Pero no le di mucha importancia. Todos le dan palmaditas a la pelota. Es gracioso. Muy gracioso”.

Los Bengals se pusieron arriba 28-7 cuando Burrow conectó con Ja’Marr Chase para su cuarto pase de touchdown. Burrow completó 23 de 32 pases para 190 yardas sin intercepciones, distribuyendo el balón a al menos nueve receptores diferentes.

Miami reaccionó gracias a la movilidad de Willis y un pase de touchdown a Kevin Coleman Jr., seguido de una conversión de dos puntos exitosa de Greg Dulcich. Los Dolphins se acercaron a un touchdown cuando Willis anotó con una jugada de engaño tras conectar con Coleman, llevando el balón hasta la línea de una yarda.

La defensa de Cincinnati forzó otro balón suelto al final del partido, lo que preparó el terreno para el gol de campo del pateador Evan McPherson, que amplió la ventaja a 31-18. El touchdown de Miami en los últimos minutos redujo la diferencia final a siete puntos, pero la remontada no fue suficiente.

El liniero defensivo Zach Sieler dijo que los Dolphins deben corregir los errores recurrentes y responder mejor cuando los partidos están en juego.

“Tenemos que corregir errores. Tenemos que hacerlos más rápido si están en juego, o si forman parte del plan de juego, tenemos que hacerlo juntos, entrenadores y jugadores por igual”, dijo. “Tenemos que unirnos cuando las cosas se pongan difíciles en el último cuarto y si tenemos la oportunidad de ganar, tenemos que aprovecharla”.

Sieler dijo que el equipo tuvo la oportunidad de reagruparse en el descanso, pero no pudo rematar la faena.

Los problemas de Miami han puesto a prueba a una plantilla joven que comenzó la temporada con la esperanza de lograr consistencia. El ala defensiva Chop Robinson dijo que el equipo debe analizar las tres fases —ataque, defensa y equipos especiales— durante la próxima semana de descanso.

“Nadie quiere tener un récord de 0-5, pero estoy aquí, luchando por estos chicos, y seguimos jugando duro por ellos y por estos entrenadores, y vamos a lograrlo”, dijo Robinson. “Creo que vamos a darle la vuelta a la situación, así que solo tenemos que prestar atención a los detalles y mejorar cada semana”.

Gordon se hizo eco de ese mensaje, diciendo que los Dolphins deben permanecer unidos a pesar de las críticas externas.

“Esto demuestra que, incluso contra las cuerdas, seguiremos luchando juntos”, dijo. “Solo tenemos que seguir ignorando las críticas externas, no preocuparnos por lo que digan los demás y mantenernos unidos. Creo que, mientras permanezcamos juntos, saldremos adelante”.

Gordon dijo que también quiere mejorar su serenidad después de ser titular por segunda vez en su carrera. Llegó al partido tras una actuación estelar de 100 yardas terrestres en nueve acarreos contra Minnesota en la semana 4.

Todos debemos analizar qué podemos mejorar individualmente y usar ese tiempo para descansar, recuperarnos y recargar energías, como dijiste, para luego volver a la segunda mitad de la temporada y obtener un mejor resultado”.

Hafley afirmó que no espera que el inicio sin victorias del equipo socave su compromiso con el proceso.

“Así somos. Así tenemos que ser”, dijo. “Tenemos muy buenos jugadores. Ni siquiera creo que eso vaya a ser un problema”.

This time, the property owner is facing more than a dozen charges.

Authorities said the investigation began on the morning of Oct. 3, after FBI agents raiding the 10-acre property at 12300 SW 51st St., owned by Marcie Rochell Newmark, discovered “several thousand game fowl roosters” along with cockfighting paraphernalia.

The FBI then got MDSO involved, according to arrest reports. It wasn’t clear whether the initial federal raid was related to animal fighting or a separate investigation.

An arrest report states that deputies spoke to Newmark, 70, on the day of the raid.

She “stated that she subleases the property to various individuals but stated that she was unaware of the training and care of game fowl roosters,” deputies said.

According to MDSO, county animal services staffers euthanized 3,110 roosters found on the property.

Additionally, deputies said they found several animals in poor condition, including multiple pigs in a raised corral with no roaming space “and no food or water;” a “visibly distressed, extremely malnourished” pony that was “actively suffering from an infection” and “tied to a wooden post with no visible food or water;” plus 16 dogs, three cats, turtles and “various birds” in “a visibly dire state of neglect.”

Deputies said they also found a goat with two eyes sealed shut from infections and unable to stand and another in a trash bag, “improperly disposed of.”

“While on scene, a medium sized, dark colored goat was found deceased laying on the ground and a third goat was located laying down, struggling to breath (sic) and on the verge of being deceased,“ one of Newmark’s arrest reports states. “It is to be noted that when the (living) goats were taken by animal services, their condition was so deplorable, that two more goats were pronounced deceased, on the way to (the South Florida Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).”

Newmark, deputies said, was “aware” of the animals’ conditions. But she would not be the first arrest in the case.

Deputies first arrested Carlos Rafael Lezcano, 52, of southwest Miami-Dade, on Oct. 4 and then arrested Sergio Ruiz Osorio, 54, of Lehigh Acres, on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Newmark was taken into custody on Friday on five felony animal cruelty charges and a felony charge related to the ownership or leasing of property used for animal fighting. She also faces several misdemeanors.

She posted a bond of more than $31,000 on Saturday, according to the Miami-Dade court docket.

Miami-Dade Property Appraiser records indicate that she’s owned the site since at least 1989.

County inspectors cited the property for code violations in 2007, 2009 and 2012, online records show.

Esta vez, la propietaria del inmueble enfrenta más de una docena de cargos.

Las autoridades indicaron que la investigación comenzó la mañana del 3 de octubre, después de que agentes del FBI, durante un allanamiento en una propiedad de 10 acres ubicada en 12300 SW 51st St., perteneciente a Marcie Rochell Newmark, descubrieran “varios miles de gallos de pelea”, junto con artículos utilizados para las peleas de gallos.

Posteriormente, el FBI involucró a la Oficina del Sheriff de Miami-Dade (MDSO), según los informes de arresto. No quedó claro si el allanamiento federal inicial estaba relacionado con las peleas de animales o con una investigación independiente.

Un informe de arresto señala que los agentes hablaron con Newmark, de 70 años, el día del allanamiento.

“Ella declaró que subarrienda la propiedad a varias personas, pero afirmó que desconocía el entrenamiento y cuidado de los gallos de pelea”, indicaron los agentes.

Según la MDSO, el personal de Servicios para Animales del condado sacrificó a 3,110 gallos encontrados en la propiedad.

Además, los agentes informaron que encontraron varios animales en malas condiciones, incluidos varios cerdos en un corral elevado sin espacio para moverse “y sin comida ni agua”; un poni “visiblemente angustiado y extremadamente desnutrido” que “sufría activamente una infección” y estaba “atado a un poste de madera sin comida ni agua a la vista”; además de 16 perros, tres gatos, tortugas y “varias aves” en “un estado visiblemente grave de abandono”.

Los agentes indicaron que también encontraron una cabra con ambos ojos cerrados debido a infecciones e incapaz de mantenerse en pie, y otra dentro de una bolsa de basura, “desechada de manera inapropiada”.

“Mientras se encontraban en el lugar, encontraron una cabra de tamaño mediano y color oscuro muerta en el suelo, y una tercera cabra fue localizada acostada, con dificultades para respirar y al borde de la muerte”, señala uno de los informes de arresto de Newmark. “Cabe señalar que cuando las cabras vivas fueron recogidas por Servicios para Animales, su condición era tan deplorable que otras dos cabras fueron declaradas muertas durante el traslado a la Sociedad para la Prevención de la Crueldad contra los Animales del Sur de Florida”.

Según los agentes, Newmark estaba “al tanto” de las condiciones en las que se encontraban los animales. Sin embargo, su arresto no sería el primero en este caso.

Los agentes arrestaron primero a Carlos Rafael Lezcano, de 52 años, residente del suroeste de Miami-Dade, el 4 de octubre, y posteriormente arrestaron a Sergio Ruiz Osorio, de 54 años, residente de Lehigh Acres, el miércoles.

Mientras tanto, Newmark fue detenida el viernes por cinco cargos graves de crueldad animal y un cargo grave relacionado con la propiedad o el arrendamiento de un inmueble utilizado para peleas de animales. También enfrenta varios cargos menores.

Pagó una fianza de más de $31,000 USD el sábado, según el registro judicial de Miami-Dade.

Los registros de la Oficina del Tasador de Propiedades de Miami-Dade indican que es propietaria del terreno desde al menos 1989.

Los inspectores del condado emitieron citaciones por violaciones al código en la propiedad en 2007, 2009 y 2012, según muestran los registros en línea.

Burnham said Moscow's “campaign of hybrid attacks” and efforts by Russia to destabilize democracies and interfere in votes, including Britain’s 2016 EU membership referendum, highlight the importance of strengthening the U.K.'s ties with its neighbors, years after they were weakened by Brexit.

He told lawmakers in the House of Commons that it would be “a dereliction of duty” not to seek stronger ties with the 27-nation bloc that the U.K. left in 2020.

The statement comes after Burnham told the Labour Party’s annual conference last month that “Brexit has done more harm than good” and that the bare-bones trade deal Britain has with the EU is holding the country back. He said he will seek political consensus on a new relationship, with future options including rejoining the bloc.

The U.K. and the EU announced Monday that they will hold a summit in Brussels on Nov. 20 as a step toward strengthening ties. Burnham said the two sides will discuss a trade deal for food and drink, agreements on energy and emissions trading, “a new youth experience scheme and deeper co-operation on immigration.”

He said that after the summit, Britain should have “a serious dialogue about the different options for our relationship in the long-term.”

“If we are serious about promoting growth, controlling immigration, upholding our values and security, it is a conversation we must have,” he said.

Burnham’s approach marks a departure after years in which both Conservative and Labour governments have avoided reopening the painful Brexit debate. Burnham remains bound by the pledge of his Labour predecessor, Keir Starmer, not to rejoin the bloc’s frictionless single market or its customs union.

But that could change in campaigning for the next national election, which must be held by 2029.

The EU has welcomed Britain’s warmer tone, but its leaders are wary of U.K. attempts to secure some of the benefits reserved for members only. The Brussels summit was initially due to be held in July, but was delayed by wrangling over the bloc’s “made in Europe” rules, which Britain says will hurt its producers.

Burnham says Russia sought to influence Brexit

U.K. lawmakers and intelligence agencies have warned about the increasing threat of Russian interference in Britain’s democratic institutions, and Burnham on Sunday said Moscow had tried to influence the Brexit vote.

Interviewed on “The Rest is Politics” podcast, he said that when he became prime minister in July he asked his advisers whether Russia had interfered with the 2016 referendum, and was told the answer was yes.

The government later clarified that Moscow’s attempts to interfere were unsuccessful. Burnham’s spokesman, Tom Wells, said the government considers the result of the 2016 referendum to be legitimate.

Pressed by Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch on what evidence he had that Russia had tried to influence the referendum, Burnham told lawmakers that “it is a matter of record that Russian actors sought to interfere” in the U.K.’s 2019 election, and “it is inconceivable that this was the first time.”

Russia has long said it does not meddle in other countries’ elections or referendums. Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage, one of the leading backers of Brexit, said Burnham’s claim was “outrageous.”

“There was no Russian interference, and the Russia hoax has run all the way through this,” he said at a news conference on Monday.

Rain chances will increase for the second half of the week as we pick up some showers off the water. This will especially be the case next weekend with wind gusts over 30 mph and on and off downpours.

“Players need to make a choice,” Guy Kinnings, CEO of the European tour, said in a statement Monday first reported by the BBC.

The DP World Tour, as it is commercially known, previously let LIV players to keep their European membership as long as they paid fines for playing LIV events that conflicted with the tour.

It extended an olive branch earlier this year to nine players, allowing them to play LIV events without sanctions provided they settled all previous fines and agreed to add European tour events to their 2026 schedules.

Kinnings delivered a far stronger message — us or them — as LIV is trying to emerge from bankruptcy stemming from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund cutting off the financial support. LIV has spent more than $5 billion since its launch in 2022.

LIV has the backing of up to $300 million from BC Partners as it leans into a 10-tournament season with a focus on team competition and players owning equity in LIV 2.0. Players have until Oct. 25 to decide whether to stick with LIV, which could determine whether the beleaguered circuit can move forward out of bankruptcy.

The European tour, however, is requiring anyone seeking to join to disclose where they intend to play in 2027. The tour said it would terminate membership if the disclosures prove false.

“As we have said for many years, we have rules and regulations which are there to protect our tour and which our members must all abide by,” Kinnings said. "Players who are not willing to comply with our rules and regulations should not be seeking to join our tour.”

Players must be European tour members to compete in the Ryder Cup next September, adding pressure to the likes of Tyrrell Hatton of England, Tom McKibbin of Northern Ireland, Adrian Meronk of Poland and Thomas Detry of Belgium.

An attorney for Jon Rahm said last week in a bankruptcy hearing for LIV that the former No. 1 wanted to terminate his LIV contract. The question for Rahm, a two-time major champion, is how he works his way back to the PGA Tour.

Sergio Garcia also asked to end his LIV contract, and David Puig of Spain has indicated he is ready to take on a European tour schedule.

The European tour is negotiating a renewed alliance with the PGA Tour, which involves commercial opportunities and a path for the leading 10 players on the Race to Dubai to get PGA Tour cards.

Patrick Reed and Eugenio Chacarra, who both previously played for LIV Golf, are a lock to earn PGA Tour cards this year off the European tour points list. Bernd Wiesberger of Austria, another player who signed early with LIV, also has a chance at a tour card.

The plan of LIV 2.0 is to have such a streamlined schedule to allow players to compete elsewhere. But the PGA Tour bans LIV players for at least one year dating to their last LIV appearance, and now the European tour is demanding them to pick a tour.

Scott O'Neil, who took over as LIV CEO when Greg Norman left, has been preaching the phrase, “Complete, not compete,” as he sees the new version of his league — without Saudi funding to offer as much as nine-figure signing bonuses — to be complementary to other golf tours.

“We shouldn’t live in a world where one group of golfers is uniquely restricted from playing elsewhere,” O'Neil said in August when laying the groundwork for LIV Golf 2.0. “Our goal isn’t to replace or restrict any tour. Our mission is to bring something distinctive to the ecosystem that elevates it and makes the whole game better.”

Burrow went 23 of 32 for 190 yards without an interception as Cincinnati improved to 3-2 against a Miami team still searching for its first victory. Malik Willis threw for 136 yards, threw and ran for a touchdown but was intercepted twice, both times by Bengals safety Jordan Battle.

The Bengals took an early lead after wide receiver Dohnte Meyers opened the game with an 81-yard kickoff return. Burrow capitalized on the field position, connecting with former Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki for a 4-yard touchdown to put Cincinnati ahead 7-0.

Miami responded on its next drive when rookie running back Ollie Gordon II powered into the end zone from 1 yard out to tie the game at 7. Gordon, making the second start of his career, added a 22-yard run during the drive after rushing for a career-high 100 yards on nine carries against Minnesota in Week 4.

Gordon entered Sunday averaging 5.1 yards per carry, the eighth-best mark in the NFL, and was given an opportunity to build on his strong performance against the Vikings.

Gordon finished the game with 18 carries 88 yards and a score.

Cincinnati regained the lead when Burrow found running back Samaje Perine for a 6-yard touchdown. The Bengals continued to exploit Miami’s defense through the middle of the field, with all three of their tight ends recording receptions.

Tight end Tanner Hudson caught Burrow’s third touchdown pass of the day, extending Cincinnati’s lead to 21-7.

Miami struggled to establish an offensive rhythm in the first half.

Willis did not complete a pass until the second quarter and threw two interceptions to Battle. He finished the half 5 of 12 for 60 yards, while Miami’s leading receiver at the break, wide receiver Jalen Tolbert, had 22 yards.

Burrow completed 16 of 21 passes for 111 yards and three touchdowns in the first half.

The Dolphins’ struggles continued after halftime.

Willis was sacked by Bengals defensive end Boye Mafe, and an illegal-shift penalty helped force Miami into a three-and-out

Burrow then delivered his fourth touchdown pass, connecting with Ja’Marr Chase on an impressive catch after Dolphins defensive back Jason Marshall Jr. mistimed his jump. Chase, who cleared concussion protocol before the game, finished the play in the end zone to give Cincinnati a 28-7 advantage.

Miami eventually found a spark through Willis’ running ability.

The quarterback broke free for a 39-yard run, the second-longest rushing attempt by a quarterback in Dolphins history, behind Ryan Tannehill’s 48-yard run vs. the Arizona Cardinals in 2013.

Willis later rolled to his right and connected with Kevin Coleman Jr. for a touchdown. Miami converted the ensuing two-point attempt on a pass to tight end Greg Dulcich, cutting Cincinnati’s lead to 28-18.

The Dolphins could not complete the comeback.

Miami also dealt with several injury concerns.

Linebacker Jordyn Brooks temporarily left the game after sustaining a foot injury, while rookie safety Michael Taaffe returned to the sideline after appearing to injure his shoulder and later returned to the game. The Dolphins initially listed Taaffe with a chest injury and questionable to return.

The Dolphins’ defense had a notable contribution from cornerback Chris Johnson, who forced a fumble on running back Chase Brown. EDGE Chop Robinson recovered the ball but fumbled during the return before Miami recovered it in a chaotic sequence.

Robinson also appeared to record a sack before an offsides penalty negated the play and gave Cincinnati a first down.

The Bengals were able to force a fumble with just a few minutes to go and tacked on a field goal by kicker Evan McPherson to put them up 31-18.

Willis answered back after finding Coleman on a pass that brought Miami to the 1-yard line. He then finished the drive with a quarterback sneak to cut the Bengals lead to 31-24. Patterson missed the following extra points.

It was a tough day passing overall for Willis, who threw two interceptions, while Burrow and the Bengals offense continued to test the Dolphins linebackers and eat up yards in the middle of the field.

Burrow completed passes to at least nine different players.

Up next

Miami (0-5) will have their bye week in Week 6 and then look to end its winless start on the road against the New York Jets (2-3) in Week 7. Cincinnati (3-2) enters its bye week in Week 6 and then face the Baltimore Ravens (4-1) in Week 7.

Now, the driver of the No. 19 Toyota is hoping to replicate what “Smoke" accomplished in 2011 when he stunned the racing world by rallying to win the NASCAR Cup Series championship by winning five of 10 playoff races, including the season finale at Homestead to register one of the sport's biggest comebacks.

“He made a pretty unbelievable run, and hopefully we can do the same thing,” Briscoe said of Stewart.

Briscoe is certainly giving it his best effort after winning back-to-back playoff races.

That included Sunday when he edged out Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Christopher Bell by .029 seconds to win the second closest race in Charlotte Motor Speedway's 66-year history.

He also won the previous week at Las Vegas.

The wins have vaulted Chase back into the “Chase.”

Two weeks ago Briscoe was 123 points behind playoff points leader Kyle Larson. He's since trimmed that deficit to 65 with four races remaining before a champion is crowned.

Denny Hamlin, at 49 points back, and Bell, 51 back, also remain ahead of Briscoe heading into the stretch run.

Now it's just a matter of whether it's too little, too late for Briscoe.

“I think we are certainly in contention," Briscoe said. "We probably need to win another race or two, but we at least put ourselves in the ballgame. That’s all you can ask for.”

Briscoe lamented four laps in the playoffs which he said have cost him 75 points due to miscues.

But he added the focus is on next week when the circuit heads to Phoenix.

“We never know how it’s going to look in four weeks from now but just have to go to the racetrack and keep winning races ultimately, and if we can do that, the points are going to be what they’re going to be at the end," he said.

Briscoe's crew chief James Small is hoping to seize on the momentum from the two wins.

“I think we’ve got to step on their throats while we can,” Small said. “I’m not going to let off the throttle pedal right now.”

When asked if the mild-mannered Briscoe was the type to step on someone’s throat, Small laughed and said, “Definitely not.”

But then Small added, “When he puts his helmet on and he’s silent, but he’s like a silent assassin.”

Briscoe got a chuckle when informed of Small's comments after the race.

“You can be a nice guy outside of the race car, but in the race car I think you have to be a killer,” Briscoe said. “For us, that’s the whole approach.”

Briscoe is expected to continue his “ultra aggressive” approach next week.

“The only way you’re going to cut into the gap is by winning races,” Briscoe said. “If you just run second or third and Larson runs second or third with you, like you’re not going to gain 65 points in four weeks. Yeah, just have to go win races and just have to be ultra aggressive truthfully and try to do everything we can in our power, and if it’s enough, it’ll be enough at the end.”

Larson's crew chief Cliff Daniels told reporters that Sunday was a good reality check for his team that the season isn't over.

Larson finished sixth on Sunday, marking the first time he has finished outside of the top five in the postseason. Still, he was able to add nine points to his lead over the second place Hamlin.

But Briscoe is the driver that clearly has his attention.

“I won’t feel comfortable until it’s over," Larson said. "Obviously, Briscoe winning and having a good day; you can take big chunks out of (the lead) if you win. We’re going to go to some tracks where others are really good coming up, so we just have to keep putting together days like (Sunday). We weren’t the fastest, but we got good points.”

European nations have in recent months faced an escalation of covert Russian activity, including an arson attack on an Estonian defense company and a failed attempt to attack a Ukrainian aircraft at a German airport.

If Russia decides to attack NATO, the alliance will respond by using sensors, autonomous systems and military force to stop any assault, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander U.S. General Alexus Grynkewich said in Warsaw Monday.

Grynkewich spoke at the Warsaw Security Forum to set out what he called NATO’s “Theory of Victory.” The NATO commander said he does not believe that a conflict is imminent or inevitable and that the most effective way to preserve peace is to prepare for war and to maintain open lines of communication to “resolve misunderstandings.”

NATO will break the enemy's forces if necessary, Grynkewich says

Grynkewich provided no specific details about what kind of attack NATO is preparing for, nor where, nor with what kind of forces. But outlining what a response to a Russian attack could look like, Grynkewich said NATO’s combined land, sea and air forces will move to stop Moscow seizing territory and deny Russia the ability to hold ground.

“My theory of victory is simple,” he told the Warsaw conference.

“We will block the initial attack. If the attack persists, we will blunt it and prevent any enemy advance. And if required, we will break the enemy’s forces and the operational war-fighting system arrayed against us.”

That includes not just the attacking force but anything and everything that supports, sustains and controls it, he said.

In recent weeks, senior European officials and intelligence services have warned that Russia may be planning to test the NATO alliance with increased covert attacks or even an incursion after a spate of sabotage incidents across the continent. Denmark's defense intelligence service specifically warned Russia could use such tactics to split the NATO alliance.

But, at the same time, President Donald Trump has also sent shock waves through Europe by agreeing to a deal to buy diesel from Russia in a bid to try lower prices in the U.S. ahead of the midterm elections.

Earlier this year, the U.S. president said he was pulling American troops from Europe and his war with Iran has led to critical shortages of advanced air defense missiles in Europe.

“Ultimately it’s a political decision,” as to where troops are deployed but “no one should question the U.S. commitment to the alliance,” Grynkewich said.

It is important, Grynkewich said, that alliance members coordinate a “coherent” response to Russian activity to make it clear to Moscow “where our red lines are.” The response to increased Russian malign activity and sabotage, he said, should be to double down on support for Ukraine.

Some NATO countries still lack readiness to respond to threats

While Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that Russia is planning to escalate with drone or rocket strikes on European allies supporting Ukraine, other countries have called for calm.

Denmark’s Defense Intelligence Agency said there is a “low but growing risk” that Russia will launch a limited military attack against one or several NATO countries bordering Russia.

NATO does not seek war with anyone but will see a military attack coming and “is unlikely to be caught by surprise,” Grynkewich said.

Although Grynkewich said NATO would defend against any attack by Russia using a network of sensors and autonomous systems, some NATO nations have previously struggled to perform in exercises simulating drone warfare. They have also faced challenges detecting and responding to incursions of drones which have entered their airspace.

Multiple attack drones have crashed in NATO countries bordering Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. And in May, residents in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius were told to seek shelter after a drone strayed into Lithuanian airspace.

When asked if NATO could deter Russia in the way Grynkewich described, his spokesperson, Col. Martin O’Donnell said NATO nations are increasingly deploying ground sensors and other technology to detect and counter drones. The network that connects systems to shoot down drones and sensors is in the process of being established, although they have not yet taken down any drones, he said.

Western officials blame Moscow for more than 200 incidents since 2022

In September, Germany accused Russia of being behind a plot at Leipzig airport to use a drone laden with explosives to attack a Ukrainian aircraft. British officials also said they thwarted a Russian plot to target a drone facility outside London while Estonian officials said Russia was behind a fire at a defense company.

The incidents are among at least 211 blamed on Russia by Western officials since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine and tracked by The Associated Press.

In its assessment released earlier in September, Denmark’s defense intelligence service suggested Russia could try to acquire Ukrainian drones and use them to attack Europe, in order to obfuscate any Russian involvement. Tusk suggested Russia will likely pretend any attacks are “accidental” in order to “paralyze or at least weaken the motivation of NATO countries” to rush to the defense of a member state coming under attack.

The Danish service said the aim of any such attack would be to divert European resources away from supporting Ukraine and sow division in NATO. But both the Danish service and O'Donnell said while Russia is fighting in Ukraine, it would be difficult to launch an outright attack on NATO.

The award ceremonies will be held on Dec. 10, the anniversary of the death of Alfred Nobel, who founded the prizes.

The prize money this year was 12 million Swedish kronor (about $1.2 million), whether for an individual, a small group of laureates, or an organization.

Here are this year’s winners:

Medicine

On Oct. 5, the Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded to three scientists whose work led to a tool that uses light to help unravel how the brain works.

Dr. Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel conducted research that opened a new field with the wonky name optogenetics, combining light and genes to switch neurons on and off in living brains.

Physics

On Oct. 6, the Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to Belgian-born scientist Francis Halzen for his efforts to demystify a rare group of neutrinos, tiny cosmic particles that researchers believe offer clues to how the universe evolved.

Neutrinos are tiny cosmic particles with no electric charge and extraordinarily small mass, making them difficult to detect.

Scientists cannot glimpse the mysterious ghost particles zooming around on their own, so they measure what happens when the particles collide with other bits of matter. Halzen had the idea to turn the vast Antarctic ice into a detector for such collisions.

Chemistry

On Oct. 7, the Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded to scientists Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai for untangling mysterious mirror images in molecules, a discovery that has been used to develop countless drugs and transformed modern medicine.

Many molecules come in versions that look alike but are not exactly identical, like right and left hands. Kagan and Soai found ways to make chemistry pick a side, describing and designing reactions to produce the desired mirror image.

Literature

On Oct. 8, the Nobel Prize in literature was awarded to Canadian poet, essayist and translator Anne Carson for “bold and inventive” works that fuse the classical and the modern and blur the boundaries of poetry and prose.

The Toronto-born Carson, 76, has drawn on themes from classical Greek and Roman literature, modern influences, and personal experience for genre-blending titles ranging from translations of ancient Greek poets to collaborations with dancers and musicians.

Peace

On Oct. 9, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Navi Pillay, a South African-born jurist and former U.N. human rights chief, for efforts that the award committee said promoted international law as it comes under attack.

Her win is sure to be seen as a high-profile rebuke to U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who have both rejected the findings of the U.N. commission she led on Gaza.

Hours after the award was announced in Norway, the Trump administration imposed sweeping new sanctions on the International Criminal Court.

Trump, who has coveted the peace prize for years, also railed against the Nobel Committee's decision on Friday.

Pillay on Monday, in an interview with The Associated Press, had sharp words for the U.S. president and called Washington’s attacks on the International Criminal Court “completely unlawful” as well as “negative and cruel.”

Economics

Monday brought the economics prize to American economists Robert E. Hall and Michael Woodford for models that have helped governments and central banks manage economic fluctuations, such as energy crises and inflation.

Their work created the theoretical foundation to better understand how consumers decide whether to save or spend, insights that make it easier for policymakers worldwide to stabilize economies after major changes.

AP Nobel Prizes: https://apnews.com/hub/nobel-prizes

Over the past few weeks, Musk has posted on X that Gibney is an “idiot,” a “horrible human,” a “shill for the far left,” and a “tinfoil hat crackpot” with “zero credibility.” When the documentary was announced three years ago, he called it a “hit piece.”

After its premiere at the Venice Film Festival last month, Musk wrote that dog feces are “worth more respect than Gibney.” The trillionaire has reportedly not yet seen the film and did not respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press.

Paid advertisements for ‘Musk’ are being rejected by X

The documentary is facing more than a war of words from Musk, however. The film's distributor, Bleecker Street, has not been able to run paid advertisements on several major social media platforms. As of Sept. 25, YouTube, Meta, TikTok and X had all refused. YouTube, where the trailer had been available through regular channels, and Meta have since reversed course, saying that it had been flagged for “political content.”

There are also concerns about whether “Musk” will eventually land on HBO as originally planned in the aftermath of the Skydance merger, the new entertainment giant created by Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery. CEO David Ellison’s father, Larry Ellison, is friendly with Musk.

“Would Musk be able to call Larry or David and say, you know, don’t put this doc on? Yeah,” Gibney said in an interview with the AP. “We live in that world now, particularly a world that’s become so transactional in the political realm … it’s literally pay to play.”

There have been threats of lawsuits from Musk's camp as well. But Gibney is also leaning into it, posting regularly on X from his own account and through a newly created one called @muskfilmfacts, which is actively dispelling false narratives and highlighting suspicions of suppressed content. Recently, Gibney wrote on X that his film is “about a ‘free-speech absolutist’ who has threatened a lawsuit to try to stop the film from being seen.”

The Oscar-winner learned from making his Scientology documentary “Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief” that the best way to fight back is to “not let them get inside your head.”

“We also have a lawyer who’s really, really good,” he said. “Because, of course, we vet this stuff very carefully.”

Musk did not sit for an interview with the filmmakers

Gibney spent nearly four years making the film, a sweeping portrait of the power and influence of the world’s richest man, charting his rise from his early days in Silicon Valley through SpaceX, Tesla and DOGE, the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency that overhauled the federal workforce last year.

It runs nearly four hours and features on-camera interviews with Musk’s family, including his father Errol Musk, his first wife and another mother of one of his children, as well as journalists, business associates, former friends, colleagues and government officials.

The project became a “runaway story,” said Gibney, who was finalizing a two-hour cut when Musk endorsed Donald Trump following the 2024 assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. HBO leadership encouraged Gibney to keep going.

“I started out doing the film because it was about 21st century power,” Gibney said. “I didn’t have a sense at that time that he was literally going to accrete the power of a kind of shadow president. … But that’s what he did, so we had to follow that story where it went.”

Musk did not sit for an interview, so Gibney and his team did something a little unconventional: They made a computer-generated Musk that speaks directly to the camera. The image might be a visual effect, both flattering and a bit uncanny, but the voice and the words it says are all Musk's own, taken directly from recordings of things he’s said in interviews and at public appearances. Gibney's team used artificial intelligence to help sync the words to his mouth.

The lasers in space statement comes from a Musk text message

One of the sticking points for Musk and his supporters that has emerged since the film started screening for press and festival audiences has to do with “space lasers” and the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

The source is a text exchange between Musk and Ashley St. Clair, the mother of one of Musk's children who provided the messages. Musk writes to her about feeling optimistic about Trump’s chances, and how he has “10,000 lasers in space right now.”

Its inclusion in the documentary has provided ammunition for Musk supporters and his lawyers to discredit the film, pointing to an unfounded conspiracy theory about SpaceX’s Starlink satellites interfering in the election. But neither the film, nor St. Clair, make that claim. It simply presents his text messages and lets the audience decide what to make of it.

St. Clair also provides an audio recording of Musk associate Jared Birchall trying to negotiate an NDA with her, on which parental support would be contingent, after she gave birth to their child. She said she turned down some $40 million to maintain her right to speak freely.

Free speech and the benefits of synthesizing information in a film

With attentions fractured in modern life, Gibney hopes there is some benefit in synthesizing information into a narrative. He’s also quick to credit the journalists whose work they draw upon.

The runtime might be longer than your average movie, but it’s an engaging watch. For the first 45 minutes, he said, “you’re kind of rooting for Elon.”

“He’s trying to get those rockets up in the air. Fails three times. He’s got that critical fourth launch, and you see those incredible images of the reusable rockets. It’s Elon at his best,” he said. “But then you have to ask the question, what happened?”

There is also a six-hour version, Gibney said. But they edited it down to stick to the most pressing information, including questions about the data gathered on U.S. citizens during Musk's DOGE tenure.

“I hope that people will look at some of the stuff that we present in the film and then take it further,” he said. “You know, should there be an investigation in Congress about the data and what happened to the data? And is it sitting in a hard drive in SpaceX or Tesla?”

As for who he thinks the audience might be, he hopes that it’s not just Musk skeptics.

“If you’re in a cult and you assume that he’s your supreme leader, then maybe just like the folks in Scientology, you’ll criticize the film and you won’t see it,” Gibney said. “But if you’re intrigued by the guy, and even if you have some affection and admiration for his accomplishments, I would hope you go see it.”

Burnham previously said there are strong indications Iran was linked to the apparent plan last month to attack the RAF Fairford air base, which has been used by American bombers to strike Iran in the ongoing war.

Police have arrested seven men in the investigation into the alleged plot, but all suspects have been released on bail and no one has been charged so far.

Iran has denied involvement, although it has previously said that it considers any base used to attack its territory a legitimate target.

“I can confirm our assessment that it is highly likely to have been coordinated in Iran, almost certainly directed by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard," Burnham told lawmakers. "We will not tolerate these threats on our soil.”

Police found gasoline but no explosives in the suspects' vehicles

Scores of residents near the air base were evacuated from their homes on Sept. 27 as armed police officers and army bomb-disposal experts swarmed the rural area.

Police later said they had found a quantity of an accelerant — gasoline — in three vans linked to the initial five suspects who were arrested on the scene, but no explosives.

All the suspects arrested are in their 20s. None has been identified, though police said six are British nationals while one is a dual U.K.-Iranian citizen.

On Monday, the British government summoned the Iranian ambassador, who reiterated that Tehran was not involved in the suspected plot and urged the U.K. to provide evidence supporting its claims.

The U.K. also said it added two Iranians, including the head of counterespionage operations in the Revolutionary Guard, to its sanctions list. Authorities said the two were involved in conducting espionage and attacks on behalf of Iran’s government in Europe and the U.S.

The U.S. pulled its bombers last week from RAF Fairford, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) west of London, and the aircraft have now been redeployed to their home bases, the Pentagon said.

The Trump administration has said it believed the base faced Iranian threats intended to kill as many American troops and destroy as many U.S. planes as possible.

The British government allowed the U.S. military to use RAF Fairford for what it called defensive strikes on Iranian missiles and their launch sites following Iranian attacks on U.K. interests and Britain’s allies in the Gulf.

US joins many Western countries in condemning Iranian proxy attacks

Officials have said that local proxies linked to Iran were behind a string of arson and other attacks on the U.S., Britain and other countries, many of them targeting Jewish communities and intended to sow fear.

British officials have said the number of national security cases involving activity by hostile states, including Iran, increased by 50% in the six months to December 2025.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said Monday that the Fairford air base incident “speaks to a wider trend.”

“States like Iran are using proxies to conduct hostile activity here in Britain. They pay criminals or exploit naive volunteers, attacking our country and its citizens while maintaining an air of plausible deniability,” she said.

In a joint statement released Monday, the foreign ministers of the U.K., U.S. and about two dozen Western countries condemned Iranian attacks on their territory. They said the Fairford incident demonstrated Iran's “continued willingness to project hostile activity beyond its borders through covert networks and proxy actors.”

“Anyone who conducts hostile activities on behalf of Iran, or any other state, should know that we will take action to identify, investigate, disrupt, and prosecute these acts,” the statement said.

The numbers, first reported by the New York Times ahead of this week's federal filing deadline, were confirmed by Andrew Romeo, a spokesperson for Musk's super PAC.

The money includes $158 million given to the Senate Leadership Fund, the main super PAC supporting Republican Senate candidates, one of the largest known political donations in American history, according to the Times.

Another $76 million went to America PAC, a Musk super PAC, which has once again built out a major turnout operation like the one it used to help elect President Donald Trump by knocking on doors in 2024.

Musk also provided $10 million to Lone Star Liberty PAC, a group that supports the Republican nominee for Senate in Texas, Ken Paxton. The race has been a major focus of Musk's efforts.

It's a dramatic turnaround since last May, when Musk said he intended to cut back on future political spending. “I think I’ve done enough," he said at the time.

Despite the cash infusion, Musk has generally kept a lower profile than in 2024, when he appeared on stage next to Trump at rallies, and in the early days of the president's second term, when he led the Department of Government Efficiency.

He had a falling out with Trump while leaving his government post, but the two have since reconciled. Trump presented Musk with the National Medal of Science last week.

Musk's net worth has fluctuated around the trillion-dollar line this year based on changes in stock prices, but he topped $1 trillion again last week according to Forbes magazine.

Republican have a gaping financial advantage over their Democratic counterparts — a disparity that has been a rare bright spot for a party that is bracing for major potential losses amid deep voter frustration over the president's performance, stubbornly high prices and the unpopular war with Iran.

They have been using the money to blanket the airwaves in the race's final stretch.

“These robust investments have allowed the G.O.P. apparatus to get its message out so Republicans can have a fighting chance to defy history," Romeo told the Times.

Democrats responded to the news by accusing Republicans of using vast amounts of cash to mask their shortcomings.

“Republicans are hoping to buy these elections, injecting tens of millions into races to try and outrun their unpopular candidates, unpopular president, and unpopular economy,” said Lauren French, a spokesperson for Democrats' Senate Majority PAC.

November hurricane strikes can happen – as we most recently saw with Hurricane Nicole on November 10^th, 2022 – but they’re exceedingly rare. Only four hurricanes on record (back to 1851) have hit the U.S. in November, which makes it about a 1-in-50 year event.

Nevertheless, if Isaias last week showed us anything, it’s that strong hurricanes can happen, often quickly, and even during big El Niño years like this one. So it’s worth staying vigilant during the waning weeks of the hurricane season.

Lone area to watch far, far away

The only development candidate showing any consistent signal from our forecast models is way out off Africa in the far eastern Atlantic.

An area of low pressure is producing a large area of storminess west of the Cabo Verde Islands, but strong upper-level winds from the west are keeping the thunderstorm activity disorganized and displaced east of the low-pressure area.

Models are mostly ho-hum about this, giving it only a small chance of development. NHC similarly gives it minimal odds to develop over the next day or two before increasingly hostile upper-level winds overtake it.

Interestingly, some of our forecast models do show a second development window in about a week, but the odds remain low, and regardless, the system will stay over the far corners of the open Atlantic.

Isaias bumps the season to the 3 quietest of the modern record

The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season had been the least active season to date – as measured by the Accumulated Cyclone Energy or ACE – of the reliable record (since 1950) until Isaias powered up late last week. The Category 3 hurricane racked up over 7 ACE units, not a significant amount in a typical season, but adding 70% to the 2026 seasonal ACE scorecard.

Through October 12^th, 2026 is running slightly ahead of 1983 and 1994 in terms of overall activity. 1994 and 1983 both recorded more hurricanes than we’ve seen so far in 2026 (3 hurricanes total during each compared to the 1 so far in 2026).

Even if the season ended today, 1983 would still best 2026 as the least active hurricane season of the modern record. Despite both being “quiet” seasons, significant hurricanes still struck the U.S. – Category 3 Alicia in 1983 and Category 2 Isaias last week.

Los huracanes pueden tocar tierra en noviembre, como vimos más recientemente con el huracán Nicole el 10 de noviembre de 2022, pero son extremadamente poco frecuentes. Solo cuatro huracanes registrados desde 1851 han impactado a Estados Unidos en noviembre, lo que equivale aproximadamente a un evento que ocurre una vez cada 50 años.

Sin embargo, si Isaias nos demostró algo la semana pasada, es que pueden formarse huracanes fuertes, a menudo rápidamente, e incluso durante años de El Niño intenso como este. Por lo tanto, vale la pena mantenerse alerta durante las últimas semanas de la temporada de huracanes.

Única área bajo vigilancia muy lejos de Estados Unidos

La única zona con potencial de desarrollo que muestra alguna señal constante en nuestros modelos de pronóstico se encuentra muy lejos, frente a la costa de África, en el extremo oriental del Atlántico.

Un área de baja presión está produciendo una extensa zona de tormentas al oeste de las islas de Cabo Verde, pero los fuertes vientos del oeste en los niveles altos de la atmósfera mantienen la actividad de tormentas eléctricas desorganizada y desplazada hacia el este del área de baja presión.

Los modelos muestran poco interés en este sistema y le otorgan solo una pequeña probabilidad de desarrollo. De manera similar, el Centro Nacional de Huracanes (NHC) le asigna probabilidades mínimas de desarrollo durante los próximos uno o dos días, antes de que vientos cada vez más desfavorables en los niveles altos de la atmósfera afecten al sistema.

Curiosamente, algunos de nuestros modelos de pronóstico muestran una segunda oportunidad de desarrollo dentro de aproximadamente una semana, pero las probabilidades siguen siendo bajas y, en cualquier caso, el sistema permanecerá en zonas remotas del Atlántico abierto.

Isaias sitúa la temporada entre las tres menos activas de los registros modernos

La temporada de huracanes del Atlántico de 2026 había sido la menos activa hasta la fecha, según la Energía Ciclónica Acumulada (ACE), desde que comenzaron los registros confiables en 1950, hasta que Isaias se intensificó a finales de la semana pasada. El huracán de categoría 3 acumuló más de 7 unidades de ACE, una cantidad poco significativa en una temporada típica, pero que aumentó en un 70% el índice de ACE acumulado de la temporada de 2026.

Hasta el 12 de octubre, la temporada de 2026 registra una actividad general ligeramente superior a la de 1983 y 1994. Tanto en 1994 como en 1983 se registraron más huracanes de los que hemos visto hasta ahora en 2026 (tres huracanes en total durante cada una de esas temporadas, en comparación con solo uno hasta ahora en 2026).

Incluso si la temporada terminara hoy, 1983 seguiría superando a 2026 como la temporada de huracanes menos activa de los registros modernos. A pesar de que ambas fueron temporadas “tranquilas”, huracanes importantes impactaron a Estados Unidos: Alicia, de categoría 3, en 1983, e Isaias, de categoría 2, la semana pasada.

Bogen discussed the dispute with Local 10’s Janine Stanwood on “This Week in South Florida” Sunday morning, saying the issue comes down to transparency.

“There’s a theme. The theme is a lack of disclosure, lack of transparency,” Bogen said.

He said taxpayers deserve to know how their money is being spent.

“They deserve to know, ‘Is my dollar going for law enforcement, or is it going for a massage table,’” Bogen said.

The Broward County Commission announced an investigation Friday into the Broward Sheriff’s Office’s spending.

But Tony pushed back on social media, saying BSO is already audited.

“Public safety is not a joke, this commission is deliberately tearing apart the largest public safety organization in our state,” Tony said. “All of you are an embarrassment not only to Broward County but (to) the state of Florida.”

Bogen responded that the audit doesn’t show how the money is being spent.

Another focus of the dispute is BSO’s new training facility, which Bogen said costs much more than expected.

“Finding massage tables and saunas and spas and having this wellness center, spending millions of dollars, and he never disclosed it on the initial scope. That is the thing,” Bogen said.

The dispute comes amid an ongoing budget battle between the county and the sheriff.

The commission recently voted to take back fire rescue from the sheriff. It has also considered removing BSO from both Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades.

Those moves prompted statewide prosecutors to subpoena the commission, demanding records related to the county’s hiring of a consulting firm.

“It’s absolutely nonsense,” Bogen said. “When he initiated this investigation, it crossed the line. It’s a tactic of his for intimidation.”

Tony responded to Bogen’s “This Week in South Florida” interview on social media late Sunday morning, saying Bogen was wrong and that he would have evidence in the coming days.

“The supporting records will be made public next week. More receipts,” Tony wrote.

Bogen, alongside commissioners and members of the media, will visit the training facility on Monday.

The sheriff added that BSO would provide commissioners with video footage and photographs of the entire training center for their review.

“We welcome transparency — and we will uphold it,” Tony said.

Tony had previously declined interview requests with Local 10, but said on social media that he looks forward to appearing on the show and discussing the dispute.

Bogen habló sobre la disputa con Janine Stanwood, de Local 10, en el programa “This Week in South Florida” el domingo por la mañana, afirmando que el problema se centra en la transparencia.

“Hay un patrón. El patrón es la falta de divulgación, la falta de transparencia”, dijo Bogen.

Afirmó que los contribuyentes merecen saber cómo se está gastando su dinero.

“Merecen saber: ‘¿Mi dinero se está destinando a las fuerzas del orden o a una camilla de masajes?’”, dijo Bogen.

La Comisión del Condado Broward anunció el viernes una investigación sobre los gastos de la Oficina del Sheriff de Broward (BSO).

Sin embargo, Tony respondió en redes sociales, afirmando que la BSO ya está sujeta a auditorías.

“La seguridad pública no es una broma, esta comisión está desmantelando deliberadamente la organización de seguridad pública más grande de nuestro estado”, dijo Tony. “Todos ustedes son una vergüenza no solo para el condado Broward, sino también para el estado de Florida”.

Bogen respondió que la auditoría no muestra cómo se está gastando el dinero.

Otro punto central de la disputa es el nuevo centro de entrenamiento de la BSO, que, según Bogen, cuesta mucho más de lo previsto.

“Encontrar camillas de masajes, saunas y spas, y tener este centro de bienestar, gastando millones de dólares, cuando él nunca lo reveló en el alcance inicial del proyecto. Ese es el problema”, dijo Bogen.

La disputa se produce en medio de una batalla presupuestaria en curso entre el condado y el sheriff.

La comisión votó recientemente a favor de recuperar el control de los servicios de bomberos y rescate que estaban bajo la responsabilidad del sheriff. También ha considerado retirar a la BSO tanto del Aeropuerto Internacional de Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood como de Port Everglades.

Esas medidas llevaron a fiscales estatales a emitir citaciones a la comisión, exigiendo documentos relacionados con la contratación de una empresa consultora por parte del condado.

“Es absolutamente absurdo”, dijo Bogen. “Cuando inició esta investigación, cruzó la línea. Es una táctica suya para intimidar”.

Tony respondió a la entrevista de Bogen en “This Week in South Florida” a través de redes sociales a última hora de la mañana del domingo, afirmando que Bogen estaba equivocado y que presentaría pruebas en los próximos días.

“Los documentos de respaldo se harán públicos la próxima semana. Más pruebas”, escribió Tony.

Bogen, junto con comisionados y miembros de los medios de comunicación, visitará el centro de entrenamiento el lunes.

El sheriff agregó que la BSO proporcionaría a los comisionados videos y fotografías de todo el centro de entrenamiento para su revisión.

“Damos la bienvenida a la transparencia y la mantendremos”, dijo Tony.

Tony había rechazado anteriormente solicitudes de entrevista de Local 10, pero afirmó en redes sociales que espera participar en el programa y hablar sobre la disputa.

FWC officials said FWC officers responded to the boating incident around 11:09 a.m. in Norris Cut, just outside the marina.

According to preliminary information released by the FWC, a 17.5-foot boat carrying three adults was in the area when one of the occupants, a 63-year-old man, entered the water.

Authorities said the man was struck by the boat’s propeller while in the water.

The victim was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Officials have not released information about the severity of his injuries or the circumstances leading up to the incident.

FWC officials said the incident remains under investigation.

No additional details were immediately available.

There is a “deteriorating humanitarian situation” across greater Darfur and Kordofan, including areas identified as at risk of famine, as well as other locations, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, or IPC.

Severe drought linked to El Niño is affecting more than half of Sudan, causing localized crop failures and depriving households of food and income, it said.

In May, nearly 19.5 million people — more than 40% of the population — were facing high levels of acute food insecurity, according to an IPC assessment. Of those, 135,000 were in Phase 5, the most severe classification, characterized by extreme food shortages, starvation, very high levels of malnutrition and deaths from disease or acute malnutrition.

Sudan’s war erupted in April 2023 when tensions between the military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, escalated into open fighting in the capital, Khartoum, before spreading across the country. The conflict has killed at least 150,000 people, according to conflict monitor ACLED, though aid groups say the true toll is likely higher.

The war has also displaced about 13 million people and pushed parts of the country into famine.

Farmers' livelihoods have also changed as they’re now relying more on markets and assistance, said the IPC, which further warned that without a quick significant increase in assistance, “food insecurity, acute malnutrition, and excess mortality will likely intensify.”

Poor vegetation growth affects 64% of croplands in North Darfur and about half in South Darfur, West Kordofan and South Kordofan, where severe water deficits and limited opportunity for agricultural recovery threaten livelihoods.

The IPC reported worsening acute malnutrition in additional areas, including Nyala, where children accessing nutrition services who were admitted for severe acute malnutrition doubled from approximately 5% to 11% between January and August. Two displacement camps in South Darfur also recorded global acute malnutrition above famine thresholds.

In North Darfur, delayed rains that impacted crop cultivation and “critically low” food stocks have worsened food insecurity. Meanwhile, Western Kordofan is experiencing one of its worst droughts since 2004, the IPC said, citing rainfall levels.

Humanitarian organizations have repeatedly said that ending the conflict and ensuring safe, sustained humanitarian access are essential to improving conditions across Sudan. But repeated efforts to achieve peace have yet to bring the war to an end.

In the latest bout of violence, an airstrike killed at least 72 civilian miners in a border area between Sudan and Egypt where artisanal and small gold mining is widespread, local rights group Emergency Lawyers said Sunday.

The group, which tracks violence across Sudan, said without providing evidence that Egyptian warplanes targeted the miners in Sudan’s North Wadi area. The Associated Press couldn’t independently verify that claim.

In June, Egyptian security forces detained hundreds of people, including foreigners, on the border with Sudan, accusing them of illegal gold mining and smuggling.

Detectives de la BSO informaron que Manuel Antonio Farfán Cabello apuñaló varias veces a su madre, Ylda Lucia Cabello Ynocente, el viernes por la noche, según la BSO.

Personal de rescate declaró muerta a Cabello Ynocente alrededor de las 7:45 p.m. del viernes en la vivienda de dos habitaciones que compartía con Farfán Cabello en Tamarac, según la BSO.

Una cuenta de Facebook mostraba fotos y videos de Cabello Ynocente y Farfán Cabello compartiendo su amor por el fútbol. Ella se identificaba como originaria de Huancayo, Perú, donde había estudiado contabilidad en la universidad pública.

Vecinos dijeron que los videos muestran a Farfán Cabello corriendo de casa en casa y pidiendo dinero el viernes.

Agentes arrestaron a Farfán Cabello el viernes por la noche en 5301 NW 28 Ave., y el personal penitenciario lo ingresó en la cárcel principal del condado de Broward, en Fort Lauderdale, donde permanecía el sábado.

Farfán Cabello, quien cumple 29 años el 16 de octubre, enfrentaba un cargo de asesinato premeditado en primer grado, según los registros judiciales del condado de Broward.

El juez del Tribunal de Circuito del condado de Broward, George Odom, tenía previsto presidir el caso de homicidio punible con la pena capital que los fiscales presentaron el sábado.

Helped by a season-ending injury to Jannik Sinner, the 29-year-old Zverev will become the oldest player to achieve the year-end honor for the first time, the ATP Tour announced.

Zverev is currently No. 2 but will overtake No. 1 Sinner before the season ends next month. The first possible date that Zverev could become No. 1 is Nov. 2 — while he is mathematically certain of the top spot by the season's final rankings on Nov. 23.

Zverev became assured of finishing No. 1 when No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz was beaten by Zizou Bergs at the Shanghai Masters.

Zverev won the French Open and U.S. Open titles this year and also reached the Australian Open semifinals and the Wimbledon final.

Before this year, his best Grand Slam results were three finals.

“It’s been a fantastic season for me winning in Paris and New York and knowing that I will finish the year on top of the rankings is just a dream come true,” Zverev said.

“So much work and effort have been put into achieving this goal, especially after coming back from the ankle injury,” Zverev added, referring to when he severely twisted his right ankle during a 2022 French Open semifinal against Rafael Nadal and was pushed away in a wheelchair.

Zverev is next due to play Alexander Bublik in Shanghai on Tuesday.

Sinner, who hasn’t played since beating Zverev in the Wimbledon final in July, announced last week that he is sitting out the rest of the season due to inflammation in his right knee.

In 2024, Zverev finished as year-end No. 2 for the first time.

Abuse allegations

Zverev's ascension to the top ranking comes after two of his ex-girlfriends accused him of physical abuse.

One case was resolved following an agreement between German prosecutors, lawyers for Zverev and his former partner. The ATP Tour investigated another case and in January 2023 concluded there was insufficient evidence.

Four men were given preliminary charges in the investigation into the Sept. 8 theft from the small Renoir Museum in the town of Cagnes-sur-Mer on the French Riviera. The charges include organized theft and criminal association, Marseille prosecutor Nicolas Bessone said.

One painting, “Portrait of Madame Colonna Romano,” suffered a tear. The other, “Young Woman at the Well,” had slight damage to its frame, Bessone said. He estimated their combined value at 4.2 million euros ($4.7 million).

The thieves used an electric saw to cut through a fence, entered the museum through the ground floor and cut clips securing the frames of four paintings. An alarm sounded and police officers arrived four minutes later, a swift response that “apparently caused the perpetrators to panic,” Bessone said.

"As they fled, they were unable to take all four paintings and abandoned two of them, which were later found in a protective sleeve,” he said.

Vehicle tracking led to the suspects

The DNA found on the abandoned cover matched that of a 29-year-old already under investigation in a drug trafficking case in which police were tracking his vehicle, Bessone said.

Vehicle-tracking data showed that the suspect, accompanied by a 41-year-old man, went to the home of a third man shortly after the theft, Bessone said.

Police surveillance also showed that the 29-year-old on Oct. 3 visited the Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul-de-Vence — home to a large modern art collection.

The suspect then met with a fourth man known to police from art theft and forgery cases in 2001 and 2003.

Bessone said the arrests were prompted by the “very strong suspicion that another heist was imminent.”

The paintings were hidden behind a wall

The two men suspected of carrying out the museum theft have been given preliminary charges of “theft committed by an organized gang” and “criminal association,” among other counts. They were sent to prison pending further investigation. The have denied wrongdoing, Bessone said.

The third suspect acknowledged receiving the paintings at his home and hiding them behind a wall built beneath a staircase after the theft. Investigators recovered the Renoirs from the hiding place, Bessone said.

The fourth suspect acknowledged seeing photographs of the paintings but said he did not immediately recognize them. Both of those suspects were given preliminary charges of “concealment” of stolen paintings. They were released under judicial supervision and barred from leaving France.

Two additional people who had been arrested were released without charge.

The theft renews concerns about museum security

The Renoir Museum occupies the final home of the leading French Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, who lived there until his death in 1919. It is the best-known attraction in Cagnes-sur-Mer, a Mediterranean coastal town between Cannes and Nice.

The theft revived painful memories of the spectacular theft of crown jewels from the Louvre Museum in Paris last year and renewed calls for better security and funding at the many cultural sites across France.

Christian Sainte, national director of judicial police, said Monday that the country “is repeatedly targeted by organized criminal groups that carry out theft operations targeting valuable objects that are part of our cultural heritage” in museums, castles, places of worship, private homes and art galleries.

French museums recorded 23 cases in 2025 and about 10 this year, he said.

Corbet wrote from Paris.

Pennsylvania-based Hunt Auctions announced the private treaty sale and identified the buyer as Miami real estate investor Ron Firman. The red jersey is the one Jordan wore in Game 2 of that series on June 5, 1998; he and the Chicago Bulls beat the Utah Jazz that night to even the matchup at a game apiece.

Jordan and the Bulls would go on to win the series in six games, the sixth and final title of his Hall of Fame career. That 1997-98 season was the subject of the 10-episode “Last Dance” documentary series that was released in 2020.

“While Michael Jordan’s importance within the sports memorabilia marketplace has long been established it has now escalated to an elite asset class more typically reserved for iconic works of art,” said David Hunt, president of Hunt Auctions. "We are very pleased to have been able to facilitate this historic sale which serves as another benchmark for our industry.”

The $14 million price would be the second-biggest known cost for a game-worn jersey, behind the $24.12 million paid in 2024 for the jersey worn by Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees when he hit the “called shot” home run against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field in Game 3 of the 1932 World Series.

This sale becomes at least the third time a Jordan jersey from that 1998 finals has fetched at least $10 million. A jersey from Game 1 was sold at auction for about $10.1 million in 2022 and a jersey from Game 3 was auctioned last month for about $12.3 million.

“Michael Jordan was an incredibly talented player who is admired around the world.” Firman said in a news release distributed by the auction house. “I’m very excited about the purchase."

The jersey that Firman purchased was originally bought from the Bulls by a private collector in 2003, Hunt said, adding that it “has remained within a succinct chain of custody having only changed hands once from the original purchaser.”

Just about anything related to the 1998 finals and Jordan's final season with the Bulls has been the subject of massive interest in the collector space. In 2023, a pair of Air Jordan sneakers that he wore in Game 2 against the Jazz was sold by Sotheby's for $2.2 million, touted at the time as “a new world record for the most valuable sneakers ever sold.”

Bergs converted his first match point with a ninth ace to beat the tournament favorite in the biggest win of his career. It was second encounter on the tour between the pair and a first victory for Bergs.

After the match Bergs said he has “too much respect for (top players), which is part of my culture and I’m proud of that. But it gets a little bit in the way when you have to play them.”

He added this result can help him change that.

“To have this moment, for me it is a little bit of a relief. I feel like now I really can win against these guys. Not just I can play against them, but I can win against them.”

He hit 24 winners on the way to victory, compared to 16 of his opponent at their round of 32 match in the ATP 1000 tennis event.

Next, Bergs will face Tommy Paul after the American knocked out defending champion Valentin Vacherot 6-4, 6-2.

The loss for Alcaraz means that Alexander Zverev will complete the year as the No. 1.

Breaking Alcaraz for the second time to take a 6-5 lead in the opening set, Bergs used his fourth set point to serve it out after Alcaraz hit the net.

The 39th-ranked Belgian broke Alcaraz for a 6-5 lead in the second set but failed to serve out the match with the Spaniard breaking back to force the tiebreaker.

Alcaraz, who won last week’s Japan Open, fought back from 4-2 down to tie it at 4 but Bergs then recovered to build two match points. The Belgian only needed one.

“I’m very happy how I handled the tiebreak,” Bergs said. “It’s never easy to get broken when you are serving for the match, but to get back in the tiebreak and play those key moments, serve big, I’m very happy with that one especially.”

Also, fifth-seeded Daniil Medvedev eased past Dalibor Svrcina 6-2, 6-3.

In his second straight victory since being disqualified at the China Open for hitting a spectator in the eye with a ball, Medvedev converted his fourth match point when his Czech opponent sent a backhand volley wide.

Fourth-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime eliminated Pablo Carreno Busta 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 and Stefanos Tsitsipas came from a set down to knock out 11th-seeded Taylor Fritz 3-6, 7-5, 6-3.

But while the vehicle is real, the world that the drivers are experiencing is not. Instead, they're inside a simulator; a 360-degree, immersive environment where their every eye movement, heart stress, sweating and other reactions are measured against countless driving tests. Here, GM is testing a human driver's response in vehicles just as much as it’s testing the vehicle tech itself.

That simulation is how GM — and other automakers — are testing future iterations of their advanced driver assistance systems. Also called ADAS, this technology so far allows for well-known vehicle features such as automatic emergency braking, blind spot warnings, lane departure warnings, lane-centering assist, surround-view cameras, driver attention monitors and many more.

These features let drivers go “hands-free” at certain times, particularly while on the highway.

Automakers anticipate that these systems will eventually grow so advanced that drivers will be allowed to safely take their hands off the wheel, and their eyes off the road. But the race is not only about the technology itself, but the payoff, which is a big one. Automakers with the best tech will get more consumers to subscribe to those capabilities, making automated driving a lucrative play for the industry.

“Going eyes off is really the turning point where consumers will be more willing to pay for this feature, because when you go eyes off, now you’re really potentially giving the driver back some time, because they don’t have to be paying attention to the road,” said Sam Abuelsamid, vice president of market research at firm Telemetry. “That’s where they see the real value proposition.”

GM says its version will be possible by 2028, when it's launching the next Super Cruise on the Cadillac Escalade IQ luxury electric sport utility vehicle. Others are on their heels.

“2028 is the broad timeline when there’s a whole group of companies that are all targeting launching systems like this that can operate at highway speeds," Abuelsamid added, "on a wider variety of roads than what we see with a lot of the systems today."

GM's tech evolving from ‘hands-free’ to ‘eyes-off’

Since 2017, GM has sold vehicles with Super Cruise, a hands-free, assisted driving system — notably not self-driving — that's available to use on over 630,000 roads in the U.S. and Canada, and more around the world.

“You can take your hands off the wheel and keep your eyes on the roads, but safely enjoy a de-stressed drive on those roads in your normal, everyday commutes,” said Tyson Becker, GM executive director for autonomous vehicle strategy and product.

There are now more than 20 different GM models across its four brands — Cadillac, GMC, Buick and Chevrolet — equipped with the technology. The automaker plans to expand the number of models available with Super Cruise in the coming years with the ultimate goal of launching the next generation of Super Cruise, technology that allows for safe, “eyes-off" driving.

“What we’re talking about is truly a technology that is so safe that it allows you to take your eyes off the road while it’s active, and do other things in the cabin, whether that is looking at your phone, looking at your laptop, taking a meeting, watching a movie,” Becker added.

Simulation is part of what makes that future possible

One of the most challenging aspects of developing autonomous technology is predicting, and getting a vehicle to respond to countless, unexpected scenarios while on the road.

That could mean a dog, deer, or even a child, sprinting onto a road; a detour unforeseen on a navigation app or a suddenly active construction zone. A driver — or in this case, the technology — needs to be able to recognize that the immediate environment has changed, and to respond in a safe way.

That's largely where simulation, combined with data collection and artificial intelligence, comes in.

In GM simulations, drivers of all experience levels take the wheel and face a multitude of computer-generated scenarios on highways or urban landscapes replete with other “humans” and roadway signage.

“We want to really be able to take anything that our customers could experience out on the road,” said Maureen August, senior manager at GM Research & Development.

The ultimate GM challenge for drivers ... Candy Crush

As participants drive in the simulator, GM looks at key data points, like heart rate, stress, where the driver's eyes are going, how long they are looking at one part of the road or another and how they are attending to the road, all from a nearby control room.

One of the best ways to test driver attention these days: inviting drivers to play Candy Crush.

“We found it’s very effective for getting people involved and wanting to get the highest score,” August said. “It’s a great way for us to get you engaged and then have to pull you away from a task.”

After participants drive, they're asked how they felt, how they understood the system, and whether it was intuitive. Other factors GM looks at include comfort, how convenient certain features are to use, whether a driver feels the system is trustworthy and how many seconds are required for a driver to take full control of a moving vehicle.

“We want to make sure that you’re responding effectively and that we’ve given you the alert far enough ahead that you can take over if needed," August said. "But we also want to be sure that if you feel comfortable and the vehicle is capable, that you don’t take over, that you let the vehicle do what it’s capable of doing.”

Other automakers racing to advanced technology

Hands-off technology is being deployed by many automakers today; Ford's BlueCruise is among the more notable examples.

BlueCruise is available in equipped Ford vehicles for use on more than 130,000 miles of certain North American roads.

Tesla lists technology used in its cars as “Full Self-Driving,” but it still requires human oversight.

As for more advanced systems, there aren't any passenger vehicles in production with eyes-off technology now — some tech companies, however, offer autonomous commercial robotaxi services in select cities.

Far smaller rollouts of sophisticated light-duty driving systems from various auto companies have been available in limited markets in recent years, but have been discontinued.

In addition to the technology challenges, there are regulatory hurdles, experts say.

“There isn’t really much in the way of real regulation that governs these systems today,” Telemetry's Abuelsamid said. “And so, the automakers are basically going state by state to get approvals for where they can operate these systems.”

Because of that, he said, “it remains to be seen where GM will be able to offer their eyes off system come 2028.”

Ultimately, automakers are racing toward more advanced tech, not only to make their vehicles more enticing, but also to leverage subscription fees customers will pay to have the technology onboard.

The name of the game, Abuelsamid said, is “to provide enough convenience and safety, the consumers will be willing to pay a recurring fee to use it ... so drivers can do things like watch a video, read a book, text — without having to watch the road all the time.”

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly, said the initial probe showed that Yemen's Houthis first fired multiple drones to pave the way for a mix of cruise and ballistic missiles to reach Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport.

The Houthis possess ballistic missiles and advanced systems fitted with warheads that can change direction during flight and pose a challenge to Patriot interceptors and other defense systems used by the Saudis.

One of the officials said the investigation also aims to find out why air defense systems did not provide earlier warning of the attack in which the Houthi missiles and drones flew over 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) to reach Riyadh.

The incident, one of a string of Houthi attacks since last week on Saudi airports, has exposed vulnerabilities in Saudi Arabia's defense system and signaled a dangerous inflection point in an expanding Mideast conflict that began more than seven months ago when the U.S. and Israel launched their war against Iran.

The Saudi-led coalition also said it had twice intercepted and destroyed ballistic missiles launched Monday by the Houthis toward Riyadh. At least three explosions could be heard Monday night in the city. Civil defense officials later said the danger had passed.

The rebels later said they had targeted King Khalid Airport on Monday, warning international airlines that all Saudi airports, except those in the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina, were unsafe.

Earlier on Monday, the Saudi state-run media reported that its military was responding to a new attack involving drones and cruise missiles, but provided no details.

“The events of recent weeks are serious,” Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdul Aziz bin Salman told the World Petroleum Energy Congress in Riyadh on Monday. “Our response must be equally serious.”

The Saudi government-run Center for International Communication, which oversees foreign media, did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the probe into defense failures.

Saudi officials want more US help in countering Houthi attacks

The Saudis want the U.S. to become more directly involved in their fight against the Houthis. The U.S. has provided intelligence sharing, target identification and planning for a Saudi-led offensive, but has held off on carrying out strikes against the Houthis.

A U.S. intervention could prompt the Houthis to try to halt shipping through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait at the southern end of the Red Sea off Yemen, restricting the flow of oil out of the Persian Gulf.

The flow of Mideast oil has already been complicated by Iranian efforts to choke off the Strait of Hormuz, where about one-fifth of the world's oil flowed before the U.S.-Iran war began.

The rebels seized key areas along the Bab el-Mandeb last month. The Saudi-led coalition, backing forces aligned with Yemen’s internationally recognized government, has been trying to retake them.

U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters on Saturday after the deadly airport strike that he was looking at the possibility of carrying out U.S. attacks against the Houthis.

But the conflict comes at a delicate time for Trump, just weeks before U.S. midterm elections that will decide if his Republican Party keeps control of Congress.

Persistent inflation and high gas prices fueled by the ongoing conflict with Iran have driven widespread American disapproval of that war. Expanding U.S. military involvement in the region risks further stoking voters' resentment.

Houthis say Saudis launch new attacks

Yemen’s Houthi-run health ministry said Monday that airstrikes on a government complex and a house in the northern province of al-Jawf killed nine people, including five children and a woman, and wounded seven others, according to the Houthi-controlled SABA news agency.

Houthi officials also said that Saudi Arabia carried out new strikes on the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, killing one person and wounding 12.

Ministry spokesperson Anees al-Asbahi said 107 Yemenis have been killed by the Saudi-led coalition since Sept. 3, and 278 were injured. Over 60% of casualties were women and children, he said.

The Riyadh airport remained closed on Monday and workers in the capital's financial district were told to work from home.

However, the Saudis on Monday continued with the second day of the World Petroleum Energy Congress.

UAE diplomat suggests Gulf allies respond to Houthis jointly

Separately, an Emirati diplomat on Monday called for “joint Gulf action” to defend against attacks by Iran and its allied groups.

Anwar Gargash, a diplomatic adviser to the rulers of the United Arab Emirates, said Iran and its allies wrongly assessed that Gulf Arabs were “the weakest link” in the U.S. war against Iran, during which Tehran and its allies repeatedly attacked Arab countries on the other side of the Gulf.

“It has become clear that we are all targeted, and that our security is indivisible,” he wrote on social media.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry on Monday expressed concern about fighting between the Saudis and Houthis and said Iran would be ready to settle disputes.

“We are severely concerned about developments in the Arabian Peninsula,” spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said at his weekly briefing. “We have many times announced readiness for applying our good offices in order to facilitate talks between the two sides.”

Baghaei said Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and his Saudi counterpart, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud, spoke by phone on Sunday about the situation but did not offer details.

Funeral held for Jordanian killed in airport attack

Dozens of mourners attended the Monday funeral for a Jordanian killed in the missile strike on King Khalid International Airport.

Mahmoud Al-Barqawi, 33, who worked in a Riyadh cafe and was the father of two children, was buried after a funeral procession began at a mosque in Amman.

His father, Hasan al-Barqawi, said the family was struggling to cope.

“No one can truly feel the pain of this tragedy,” he said.

The strike also wounded four Jordanian citizens.

Jordan’s Royal Court chief Yousef Al-Issawi attended the funeral, offering condolences on behalf of the king and crown prince.

Associated Press writers Aamer Madhani in Jerusalem, Fatma Khaled in Cairo and Nasser Karimi in Tehran, Iran, contributed to this report.

Sibiya was set to face a disciplinary hearing on Monday but his lawyers tendered his letter of resignation at the start of the proceeding, police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe said.

“As the former senior officer had an ongoing disciplinary case against him at the time of his resignation, his departure from the service is therefore regarded as a dishonorable discharge,” said Mathe.

Sibiya is currently in prison after he was arrested for alleged rape and grooming of a minor last month. He has denied the charges. His application to be released on bail has been postponed to Oct. 13.

Sibiya has been the subject of a judicial commission of inquiry investigating wide-ranging allegations of corruption within the South African police and alleged ties to the country's criminal networks.

At the commission, which is chaired by retired Judge Mbuyiseni Madlanga, Sibiya has been accused of receiving large sums of cash and gifts from alleged criminals.

During his testimony at the commission, Sibiya denied all allegations against him.

He had been suspended since September last year.

The Justice Department confirmed that a judicially authorized search warrant of Omar’s home was executed by Homeland Security Investigations but provided no other details. Trump administration officials have repeatedly hinted at the existence of an inquiry targeting the Minnesota representative. Omar called the search an “attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement.”

A senior U.S. official said President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are considering firing U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle after a series of reports alleging she has engaged in improper and possibly illegal conduct before and during her tenure in Athens.

And a bipartisan group of senators is calling on the Trump administration to “immediately reverse course” on a plan to purchase diesel from Russia despite a U.S. sanctions law.

The Latest:

Trump administration says it didn’t have time to cancel ads that aired after a judge’s deadline

A federal judge on Sunday ordered the Trump administration to cancel any remaining TV commercials in its pro-Trump ad campaign that has cost taxpayers millions.

But even after the judge’s 6:45 p.m. deadline, a few of the spots labeled as paid for by the U.S. government aired on television, data from AdImpact shows.

The Department of Homeland Security did not receive notice from the court in time to cancel those final ad buys, the White House said in an email.

The White House said the ads, which it refers to as public service announcements, will be paid for by outside groups going forward.

Trump says he’ll have a rally in Kansas to boost Sen. Roger Marshall

The president said he’ll have a “Kansas Style Rally, in Roger’s Honor, very soon,” in a lengthy social media post Monday attacking Democratic candidate Adam Hamilton’s leadership at the nation’s largest United Methodist church.

Marshall’s race is considered a tossup, even though Democrats haven’t won a Senate seat in Kansas since 1932.

Hamilton founded the Kansas City-area Church of the Resurrection in 1990, which has grown to 25,000 members. That’s been among his key selling points as a candidate.

When Trump previously denounced Hamilton as a “lunatic,” Hamilton told a crowd in Topeka, “That is so cool! I love this!”

Iowa GOP Senate candidate says Russia should still face sanctions

Rep. Ashley Hinson said “it makes me a little bit nervous anytime we’re talking about relieving a sanction on Russia.”

Hinson is the Republican facing a competitive race for U.S. Senate in Iowa, where $6 diesel prices have become an issue in the campaign against Democrat Josh Turek.

Trump said last week he struck a deal to obtain diesel from Russia, reversing years of U.S. pressure on Moscow over its war with Ukraine.

After touring an ethanol plant in Dyersville, Iowa, Hinson told reporters that fuel prices are a priority for her. But she also said the U.S. should be “strong” on Russia, noting her support for a sanctions package that the House passed last month.

Top of the ticket in Georgia will share the stage with Trump

Georgia GOP gubernatorial nominee Rick Jackson hasn’t rushed to share stages with Republican Senate nominee Mike Collins.

But Trump’s trip Friday to Dalton, in north Georgia, will get the two nominees in front of the same audience, their spokesmen confirmed.

Jackson, a self-funding billionaire, is viewed as being in a considerably stronger position against Democratic nominee Keisha Lance Bottoms than Collins is in his challenge of Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff.

Strategists from both parties say Georgia could see a split result this fall.

Despite their different courses, Collins and Jackson both have Trump’s endorsement — at least now. Trump endorsed Collins ahead of the GOP runoff.

Trump had endorsed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in 2025 and offered his support only after Jackson defeated Jones in a runoff.

Mailers pushing socialist candidate over Sherrod Brown linked to MAGA-tied vendor

Campaign mailers urging Ohio voters to support a socialist U.S. Senate candidate over Democratic nominee Sherrod Brown are being underwritten by a newly incorporated PAC with ties to businesses associated with Trump’s MAGA Inc. super PAC.

The mailers sponsored by Enough Promises Ohio PAC began arriving in voter mailboxes in recent days.

They promote independent Greg Levy over Brown with messages such as “Join the Revolution” and “Send a Worker to the Senate.”

Levy has condemned the mailers as misleading “dirty tricks.”

Brown is locked in a tight race against Republican Sen. Jon Husted.

Collins announces Bath shipyard clears hurdle to order destroyer

Bath Iron Works, a subsidiary of General Dynamics, is a shipyard in Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins’ home state.

It was certified Monday by the Pentagon as having made operational and managerial improvements to allow the department to order a guided-missile Navy destroyer. It would be the second to be built in fiscal year 2027.

Collins is chair of the appropriations committee and is in a competitive campaign for a sixth term against Democrat Troy Jackson.

During debates with Jackson last week, Collins argued that she uses her leadership on the key committee to benefit the Maine economy, while Jackson has criticized her for supporting the Trump administration’s agenda.

Committee staff say the Bath project has a budget of $2 billion to $2.5 billion and is estimated to include roughly 6,800 jobs.

Congressional Black Caucus condemns ‘politically motivated’ search of Omar’s home

In a statement, Chair Yvette Clarke blamed the search on Trump’s “fixation” on Omar, a vocal critic of the president and his policies. Omar is a member of the caucus.

“The sustained campaign of attacks against Congresswoman Omar by the President and his allies should raise grave concerns about the politicization of federal law enforcement and the use of government power to intimidate political opponents,” the statement read.

“Over the past year alone, (Trump) has repeatedly targeted Somali Americans and the state of Minnesota with vile, racist rhetoric while deploying thousands of armed ICE agents to the Twin Cities in operations targeting Somali American communities, resulting in the deaths of two Americans in broad daylight.”

Judge orders Trump administration to halt work for a day on DC golf course

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to halt work for a day on a historic D.C. golf course, pending more court action. U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes issued the order Monday after a tense three-hour hearing in which she blistered the government for having deceived her with its actions over the holiday weekend.

Republicans react to Omar by using her own words

Responding to Omar’s social media reaction addressing the search, the Republican National Committee posted a screen grab of an X post from Omar in which she wrote, “No one is above the law.”

The screen grab wasn’t dated, but Omar posted that phrase on social media as the House debated Trump’s first impeachment case in 2019.

The Republican Party in Omar’s home state of Minnesota circulated remarks it attributed to Omar from 2023, when she reacted to Trump’s indictment on charges in New York by calling for people to “support accountability and to follow the facts where they lead.”

Democrats condemn Omar search as political targeting ahead of election

Across social media, congressional Democrats criticized Trump for the search of Omar’s home.

Calling it “unprecedented, but unfortunately not surprising,” Michigan Rep. Debbie Dingell wrote that Trump had “repeatedly targeted Congresswoman Omar with hateful rhetoric, contributing to death threats and violence.”

Arizona Rep. Adellita Grijalva said it represented “the latest — and darkest — chapter of Trump’s racist political persecution against Ilhan Omar and the entire Somali-American community.”

Saying Trump was “weaponizing our government against his perceived political opponents,” Colorado Rep. Jason Crow referenced the administration’s unsuccessful attempt to indict him and other congressional Democrats for a video calling on service members to defy “illegal orders.”

Kremlin relishes in the US-Russia diesel deal

The deal between Moscow and Washington on exports of Russian diesel and fresh U.S. criticism of Ukraine’s leader mark important political victories for the Kremlin.

While the size of Russia’s diesel exports is relatively small and unlikely to significantly impact prices, the revenue will help Moscow replenish its war coffers.

More importantly, it will undermine efforts by Kyiv and its European allies to put up a united front to Putin.

Remarks by Trump suggesting that Ukraine should get a new leader also strengthen the Kremlin’s hand.

Khanna calls search of Omar’s home ‘chilling’

Fellow progressive Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California also called it “disturbing” that the Trump administration is “targeting Muslim Americans and a Muslim American woman legislator.” Khanna made the remarks in a video posted on social media.

Khanna added that “any decent American needs to stand up and speak out.”

Fellow members of The Squad express support for Omar

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York called the search of Omar’s home “an unprecedented abuse of power,” saying Trump’s administration had long “launched slanderous attacks” against the Minnesota Democrat.

Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib said the search is “exactly what a fascist police state does.”

Omar, Tlaib and Ocasio-Cortez are part of The Squad, a group of progressive lawmakers who have endured repeated attacks from Trump, dating back to his first term.

Both Tlaib and Ocasio-Cortez off on their social media posts by saying, “I stand with Ilhan.”

Archbishop says Catholic soldiers should not serve on firing squad

Archbishop Timothy Broglio, who oversees the Catholic Church’s pastoral services to Catholics in the U.S. military, is condemning the proposed livestream of the firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan.

Broglio also is stipulating that any Catholic soldier assigned to the firing squad should ask to be excused from that duty, which he described as contrary to the teachings of the church. He joins other Catholic leaders in speaking out against the death penalty and the livestream plans.

Hasan, an Army psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people in 2009 at Fort Hood in Texas, is scheduled to be executed by firing squad on Dec. 3.

“The US military generally enjoys a good reputation in the world,” Broglio said. “Is there really a value to throwing them in the same boat with terrorists by broadcasting the image of the execution of a man in a wheelchair to the whole world?”

Omar’s spokesperson calls search ‘outrageous’ and ‘unprecedented’

“This raid by Trump’s DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies,” Jacklyn Rogers, Omar’s spokesperson, said in a statement. “For a decade, Donald Trump has relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, repeatedly putting a target on her back. Now, those attacks have escalated to a pointless federal raid. The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong. No president should be able to use the power of the federal government to intimidate his political enemies.”

Omar calls search the 'latest escalation' in Trump’s 'intimidation' campaign

“For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns,” she said. “This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.”

Trump said at campaign rally that ‘our people’ were investigating Omar

Trump and fellow Republicans from the highest ranks of party leadership have repeatedly and publicly criticized the Somali-born Omar over her status as an immigrant and her progressive views. Trump as recently as this past weekend brought up Omar at a rally in Tennessee, where he attacked her upbringing and suggested that Vice President JD Vance “and our people” were investigating her.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said last month that there was an “ongoing investigation” related in part to whether Omar lied on her immigration forms and that “something’s going to happen.”

House Democratic leaders condemn the search of congresswoman's home as an ‘abuse of power’

“For years, Donald Trump and far-right extremists have relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Omar with vile personal attacks and baseless accusations,” House Democratic leaders said in a statement. “Now, less than 30 days until the midterm election, his violent mass deportation machine has descended upon the home of a duly elected Member of Congress and her family.”

The search of the Minnesota congresswoman ’s home so close to next month’s midterm contests that will determine control of the House and Senate was swiftly condemned by top Democrats in Congress and raised questions about the timing given longstanding Justice Department protocol to avoid overt investigative steps involving political candidates in the direct run-up to an election.

Paid advertisements for ‘Musk’ are being rejected by social media companies

As of Sept. 25, YouTube, Meta, TikTok and X had all refused advertisements for the film paid by its distributor, Bleecker Street. YouTube and Meta later reversed course, saying the trailer had been flagged for “political content.”

There are also concerns about whether “Musk” will eventually land on HBO as originally planned, in the aftermath of the Skydance merger created by Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery. CEO David Ellison’s father, Larry Ellison, is friendly with Musk.

“Would Musk be able to call Larry or David and say, you know, don’t put this doc on? Yeah,” Gibney said in an interview with the AP.

Gibney wrote on X that his film is “about a ‘free-speech absolutist’ who has threatened a lawsuit to try to stop the film from being seen.”

Elon Musk lashes out as ‘Musk’ arrives in theaters

Elon Musk has called filmmaker Alex Gibney a lot of names leading up to this week’s nationwide release of the documentary “Musk,” a sweeping portrait of the power and influence of the world’s richest man.

The nearly four-hour film features interviews with Musk’s family, journalists, business associates, former friends, colleagues and government officials as it charts his rise from Silicon Valley through SpaceX, Tesla and DOGE, the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency that overhauled the federal workforce.

Musk has posted on X that Gibney is an “idiot,” a “horrible human,” a “shill for the far left,” and a “tinfoil hat crackpot” with “zero credibility.” After its Venice Film Festival premiere, Musk wrote that dog feces are “worth more respect than Gibney.”

The Oscar-winner said he learned from making his Scientology documentary “not let them get inside your head.”

“We also have a lawyer who’s really, really good,” Gibney said. “Because, of course, we vet this stuff very carefully.”

Nobel Peace laureate Navi Pillay defends international justice, slams US moves against ICC

Navi Pillay, the South African-born jurist who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last week, told The Associated Press in an interview Monday that “it does affect the whole world if the rule of law is not respected.”

Pillay had sharp words for Trump, who has coveted the peace prize for years, calling Washington’s attacks on the International Criminal Court “completely unlawful” as well as “negative and cruel.”

Pillay’s career has ranged from defending the rights of an imprisoned Nelson Mandela to leading a panel that found that Israel committed genocide in Gaza to serving as a judge on three international courts. Pillay’s win is seen as a high-profile rebuke to Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Both have rejected the findings of the U.N. commission she led on Gaza and criticized the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, where she has served as a judge.

Schumer says he’s running for another term as leader, confident of regaining majority

Interviews with more than a dozen Democratic senators in recent weeks indicate that Schumer has recovered his political standing with many in his caucus. If Democrats gain seats in the election, colleagues expect him to easily win enough support in the closed-door leadership election, likely the week after Election Day.

Interviewed by The Associated Press earlier this month, Schumer stated unequivocally that he’s running for another term as leader and that Democrats have a shot at winning the majority after fighting Trump’s tariffs, forcing more than a dozen votes to end the war in Iran and focusing on affordability, corruption and healthcare.

“I think our caucus is strong, it’s united,” Schumer said. “A year ago, everyone said it was out of reach. Today, we have a broader map, strong candidates, a clear contrast.”

Chuck Schumer has broad support from his caucus, but midterms could decide his leadership

Chuck Schumer has won and lost Senate majorities since becoming Democratic leader a decade ago. But this year’s midterm elections could be his most important yet, with some in the party having said he needs to step down and make way for a new generation.

Schumer, who has directly or indirectly overseen his party’s Senate campaign arm in almost every election cycle over the last 20 years, has regained trust within his caucus, for now, as Democrats are hopeful of making gains in the midterm elections despite a difficult map that favors Republicans.

Allies of the New York Democrat say it’s a significant turnaround from last year, when the party was still reeling from major election losses. A low point came in the spring of 2025, when the party’s base erupted at Schumer for voting to keep Trump’s government open.

Elon Musk quietly becomes this year’s biggest known campaign donor as he tries to save Republicans

The world’s only trillionaire has donated more than $276 million since July to try to save the GOP’s control of Congress.

The numbers, first reported by the New York Times ahead of this week’s federal filing deadline, were confirmed by Andrew Romeo, a spokesperson for Musk’s super PAC.

Musk’s $158 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, the main super PAC supporting Republican Senate candidates, is one of the largest known political donations in American history. Another $76 million went to a Musk super PAC that has built out a major turnout operation like the one it used to help elect Trump in 2024. And $10 million went to a PAC supporting Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton in Texas.

It’s a dramatic turnaround since last May, when Musk said he intended to cut back on future political spending.

Seventy-one of 121 overall challenges under ABS prevailed during the 25 games of the Wild Card Series and Division Series. The 59% success rate was up from 54% during the regular season. That includes an improvement for batters to 57% (29 of 51) from 49%.

It's not that hitters are necessarily being more conservative, either. Teams are challenging more in the postseason overall, with 4.8 per game compared to 4.3 during the regular season. Batter challenges are up to 2.04 per game from 1.96.

Teams exhaust their challenges when they are unsuccessful twice in the game, so the more times they win appeals the more opportunities they can have.

Catchers had won 60% (42 of 70) of challenges, just above their 59% during the regular season. Pitchers were 1 for 1, with Tampa Bay's Griffin Jax making the only challenge.

“Maybe a little more cautious,” Rays catcher Liam Hicks said. “It’s more just in the back of your head, you’re like, you want to save these for a meaningful situation.”

Among the four teams advancing to the League Championship Series, Cleveland won 7 of 13, Milwaukee 8 of 16, Tampa Bay 3 of 5 (with no tries by batters) and the Dodgers 2 of 6.

Atlanta had the most challenges, winning 14 of 22 over seven games and the White Sox 12 of 31.

Among batters, Milwaukee's Jake Bauers and Atlanta's Austin Riley won both their challenges.

Munetaka Murakami of the Chicago White Sox went 0 for 2 and the Braves' Ronald Acuña Jr. had the most challenges, splitting on four.

“It’s a new muscle for these guys to instinctually have, so I think if this is the route we go for the next few years guys will get more and more instinctually,” New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “Some guys have been really good and really adept at it early on. Other guys have been more of a work in progress. Some guys have struggled with it.”

Braves catcher Sean Murphy was 4 for 4 and the Phillies' J.T. Realmuto won 5 of 6. Realmuto had the first game-ending ABS challenge in postseason history in Game 2 of Philadelphia's Wild Card Series against Atlanta.

Kyle Teel of the White Sox had the most challenges, winning 8 of 12, and the Guardians' Patrick Bailey was second, succeeding on just 4 of 10. The Brewers' William Contreras won 4 of 9.

“Some of the first-inning challenges, 1-0 counts, it’s like, let’s let those go and save them for when we might need them later in the game," Realmuto said. “With that being said, we have a lot of guys that know the strike zone really well.”

Just 17 challenges were defined by Statcast as in high-leverage situations, and eight of 17 were successful.

“You’ve got to be careful trying to script it or dictate the perfect situation for it. You don’t know what it’s going to lead to, even if it’s early," Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said. “My message has always been, the lower the leverage, the more certainty you need to have and vice versa. But at the end of the day, trust your eyes.”

Among 25 umpires who worked the first two rounds, four had perfect rates and were confirmed on all challenges. Tripp Gibson, James Hoye, Nic Lentz and Gabe Morales all were challenged twice and confirmed twice.

Lance Barrett was overturned on 10 of 12 challenges during Milwaukee's Game 2 Division Series victory over San Diego and Adam Beck on seven of 10 during Philadelphia's Game 2 Wild Card Series win over Atlanta.

Roberto Ortiz was overturned on 6 of 9, Jansen Visconti and Todd Tichenor on 4 of 7, Shane Livensparger on 5 of 6, Cory Blaser and Chris Guccione on 4 of 5 and Alex MacKay on 4 of 6.

The search of the Minnesota congresswoman's home so close to next month's midterm contests that will determine control of the House and the Senate was swiftly condemned by top Democrats in Congress, who raised questions about the timing given longstanding Justice Department protocol to avoid overt investigative steps involving political candidates in the direct run-up to an election. Omar, an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, said separately that she was being targeted as one of the Republican's “political enemies.”

The nature and scope of the investigation were unclear, though Trump and officials in his administration have repeatedly referred in recent months to the existence of an inquiry into Omar, a Somali-born Democrat whose status as an immigrant to the U.S. and left-wing views have drawn scrutiny from the White House and other Republicans.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin last month cited an “ongoing investigation” that he suggested was examining potential fraud on her family's immigration paperwork. “Something's going to happen,” he said.

In a statement on X on Monday, Omar called the search an “attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement.”

“For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation,” she said. “I will not be silenced.”

Though the Republican focus on Omar's background dates back years, the search notably took place three weeks before the November midterms, in which Omar is on the ballot for reelection. The Justice Department has historically sought to avoid public investigative actions involving a candidate within 60 days of a primary or general election. Top Democrats seized on the timing as the latest instance in what they said was the “continued corrupt weaponization” of law enforcement against Trump's perceived adversaries.

“For years, Donald Trump and far-right extremists have relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Omar with vile personal attacks and baseless accusations,” said a joint statement issued from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and other top congressional Democrats. “Now, less than 30 days until the midterm election, his violent mass deportation machine has descended upon the home of a duly elected Member of Congress and her family.”

Trump referenced Omar as recently as this past weekend

The search was carried out by agents with Homeland Security Investigations, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security.

A DHS spokesperson referred questions to the Justice Department, which said in a statement that HSI agents had executed a judicially authorized search warrant in the Washington, D.C., area related to an ongoing federal criminal investigation. It provided no other details.

The street around Omar's home was blocked off Monday morning as HSI agents carried out the search, with some removing boxes from “seized property evidence.”

The operation came just two days after Trump referred pejoratively to Omar at a rally in Tennessee as coming from a country of “crime and squalor" and suggested that Vice President JD Vance “and our people” were investigating her.

Vance has in the past accused Omar of committing immigration fraud, an allegation she has denied, and has said that the White House was looking for pathways to investigate her.

Omar has long been a target for Republicans

Omar, who was first elected to the House in 2018, represents Minnesota’s 5th District, including Minneapolis. She is part of The Squad of progressive lawmakers who are a vibrant political force on the left wing of Congress but have also endured repeated attacks from Trump, dating back to his first term. She was one of the first two Muslim-American women in the House and the first African refugee to be elected to Congress.

When Republicans swept control of the House in 2023, they voted to oust Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee, citing her anti-Israel remarks.

In January, Trump lashed out at Omar during a rally in Iowa hours before an assailant sprayed the congresswoman during her own town hall meeting in Minneapolis with a substance that turned out to be vinegar. The attacker was sentenced to 14 months in prison.

Republicans have raised questions about Omar's past since before she was even elected, including asserting that she had married her brother and committed immigration fraud. Omar has broadly denied the allegations as “disgusting lies.”

“It certainly seems like something fishy is there, but everybody's entitled to equal justice under the laws,” Vance told reporters in May. “So we're going to investigate it. We're going to take a look at it. If we think there's a crime, we're going to prosecute that crime. And that's something the Department of Justice is looking at right now."

In an interview last March with conservative podcaster Benny Johnson, Vance said without offering evidence that “we actually think that Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America.”

Omar’s office at the time dismissed Vance’s claims as fabricated and defamatory, saying in a statement that, ‘“This is rich coming from someone who literally said they were willing to ‘create stories’ to redirect the media.’"

Last month, when the podcaster Johnson reminded Mullin about Vance's past comments on Omar and asked whether anything would happen as a result of that investigation, the Homeland Security secretary responded: “Something's going to happen.”

He cited an “ongoing investigation” that he suggested was looking at potential fraud in the family's immigration paperwork.

“If we actually move a case forward, it's not a political case. It's actually a case because they did things wrong,” Mullin said. “If you decided to break the law or law on the information that you gave to the United States...there's no expiration to that.”

Sean Kotowich and Anthony Perez are the engaged couple behind Chubby Boy Rolls, a queer-owned micro-bakery in Fort Lauderdale specializing in oversized cinnamon rolls that have been selling out week after week.

The couple’s journey began shortly after they started dating, when Perez invited Kotowich to spend Christmas with his uncle’s family.

Not wanting to arrive empty-handed, Kotowich decided to bring homemade cinnamon rolls.

“I’ve learned that the Cubans in Miami really love cinnamon rolls. So what did I do? I came up with the recipe and I brought cinnamon rolls and everybody loved it,” Kotowich said. “They were like, you need to sell these, you need to sell these.”

That enthusiastic response sparked an idea.

Perez, who has an entrepreneurial spirit, saw an opportunity to turn the popular treats into something bigger.

“We decided to kinda come up with a fun name, but also sell something that’s actually nice or fun or happy that brings a lot of happiness to people while building a community,” Perez said.

And just like that, Chubby Boy Rolls was born.

More than just cinnamon rolls

For the couple, their business is about more than satisfying a sweet tooth.

They also want to create an inclusive community and turn a word that can carry negative associations into something positive.

“So Chubby itself is a term that’s kind of, you know, gone through a negative stigma at times. I mean, I’ve definitely felt that way,” Kotowich said. “And so for us to, you know, take Chubby Boy and make it more positive and uplifting and enjoyable is definitely a key to building our community.”

Their oversized cinnamon rolls have become a hit, with the couple regularly selling out while balancing the demands of their full-time jobs.

Much of their free time is devoted to preparing orders, handling special requests and catering.

“Between pre-orders, special orders, when we do a little bit of catering on the side, that kind of thing keeps us busy Saturdays and Sundays,” Perez said.

The couple has also embraced social media to help grow their business.

Perez creates humorous videos for YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, giving followers a glimpse into their personalities and the work behind their baked goods.

Kotowich credits his fiancé with bringing a little extra excitement into his life.

“Anthony came in and he brought this chaos into my life,” Kotowich joked. “And I couldn’t live without it at this point.”

A family affair

The couple also has some important help behind the scenes.

Perez’s mother, who came to the United States from Cuba several decades ago, plays a significant role in their growing business.

Perez said she helps refine ideas, offers feedback and provides encouragement as they work to expand.

“So my mom is my rock. My mom is my angel,” Perez said. “Literally I throw something at her and she’s willing to grab it, perfect it, give me feedback and let me know how I can become better.”

With her support, the couple hopes to take Chubby Boy Rolls beyond its current pop-up model.

Their ultimate goal is to purchase an RV trailer that would allow them to bring their desserts directly into South Florida neighborhoods.

“We really wanna go the route of owning a little RV trailer,” Perez said. “Take it out into the neighborhoods and become what essentially has stuck with us since the very beginning, which is becoming the neighborhood roll dealers.”

For Kotowich, building a business alongside his future husband makes the experience even more meaningful.

“We’re building something together. And so we’re building our lives together. We’re building a company together. And I think it’s going to all end up perfect,” he said.

Using a Spanish interpreter, Manuel Farfan Cabello, 28, stood in front of a judge to officially hear about his charges.

He was ultimately denied bond and ordered to undergo a mental health screening.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office said Cabello stabbed his mother, Ylda Cabello-Ynocente, multiple times Friday evening.

First responders pronounced her dead at the scene.

Deputies said they were called to a home on Northwest 28th Avenue in Tamarac around 7:45 p.m. Friday.

For several hours from Friday night into Saturday, BSO investigators could be seen combing through the area, searching for evidence.

The investigation stretched beyond the house to the other side of the street, and at one point, a dive team entered a nearby lake to continue their search for evidence.

Several hours before the deadly stabbing, neighbors told Local 10 News that Farfan Cabello was going door to door, asking for money.

Family members returned to the home on Sunday to clean up.

Farfan Cabello’s aunt told Local 10 that he suffers from schizophrenia and needs help.

She said her nephew receives treatment, but she doesn’t have access to his medical records or history.

Despite what happened, she said she wants to get him help.

Schumer, who has directly or indirectly overseen his party’s Senate campaign arm in almost every election cycle over the last 20 years, has regained trust within his caucus, for now, as Democrats are hopeful of making gains in the midterm elections despite a difficult map that favors Republicans.

Allies of the New York Democrat say it’s a significant turnaround from last year, when the party was still reeling from major election losses. A low point came in the spring of 2025, when the party's base erupted at Schumer for voting to keep President Donald Trump’s government open.

Interviews with more than a dozen Democratic senators in recent weeks indicate that Schumer has recovered his political standing with many in his caucus. If Democrats gain seats in the election, colleagues expect him to easily win enough support in the closed-door leadership election, likely the week after Election Day.

Should they win a majority, a feat once seen as improbable, another term as leader would be nearly assured, many said. Both parties pick their Senate leaders by secret ballot, so no senator has to reveal their vote.

Still, nothing is guaranteed. While no Democrat has stepped up to challenge Schumer, that could quickly change if his party suffers an unexpected level of losses. And several Democratic candidates around the country have said publicly that they won't vote for Schumer or have remained noncommittal.

Interviewed by The Associated Press earlier this month, Schumer stated unequivocally that he's running for another term as leader. He said he believes Democrats have won more favor with voters over the last year and have a shot at winning the majority after fighting Trump’s tariffs, forcing more than a dozen votes to end the war in Iran and focusing on affordability, corruption and healthcare.

“I think our caucus is strong, it’s united,” Schumer said. “A year ago, everyone said it was out of reach. Today, we have a broader map, strong candidates, a clear contrast.”

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., said that “Senate seats in some ruby red states seem to be in play” because of candidates Schumer recruited.

Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat who has served with Schumer for almost 30 years, said that “if you had told us in 2025 that we’d be in the home stretch with a really good shot of taking the majority, it would have been like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me.’ You can’t argue with results.”

And if Democrats don’t win additional seats? “I’m not thinking about that,” Wyden said.

Some senators won’t commit to supporting Schumer

While Schumer appears to be in a good position at the moment, many Democratic senators won’t say publicly whether they will support him — particularly those in the most progressive wing of the party.

“It’s a little bit too early to speculate on that right now,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with Democrats.

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren said she is focused on November’s elections. “We’ll know a lot more after the midterms,” she said.

Freshman Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan has called for a “new generation” of leaders across the party.

"It’s not a secret that Democrats still haven’t totally found their footing after Trump,” Slotkin said in a recent interview, adding that “we have to see what the results of the election are.”

It’s unclear if anyone else wants the job

Even if there are losses in Senate races, it’s unclear if any other Democrat wants the burden of being leader. Many are instead eyeing runs for the White House in 2028.

Speculation about a challenge to Schumer has centered on Sens. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Brian Schatz of Hawaii, who has already said he’s running for the No. 2 leadership spot to replace retiring Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin.

Asked about Schumer, Van Hollen said he doesn’t want to discuss it yet.

“Look, I think everybody wants to get through this election, and then we’ll go from there,” Van Hollen said in an interview before the Senate left Washington to campaign.

Several Senate candidates around the country have either said they won’t vote for Schumer if they are elected or remained noncommittal, including Troy Jackson in Maine, Adam Hamilton in Kansas and Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan.

At the same time, the Senate Majority PAC, which is closely aligned with Schumer, has put millions of dollars into those campaigns and others. Schumer backed El-Sayed's primary opponent, but the two met in Washington last month.

El-Sayed said after the meeting that the party is united and “we’re having really productive conversations about what it takes to win.”

Schumer has kept his caucus close

Several of the Democratic senators who insisted on anonymity to share their views agreed that Schumer is likely to win another term as leader. There have been very few discussions about a change, said one, partially because Schumer has stayed close to almost everyone in his caucus, keeping them on speed dial in his famous flip phone. Another senator said that they aren’t aware of Schumer asking for any commitments just yet.

At the same time, some said they would like to see Schumer, who is up for reelection in 2028, announce that this is his last term as leader and commit to helping transition to a successor. A commitment like that could end the conversation, one senator said.

Another senator said that a commitment from Schumer about the future isn’t as important — what will matter is if they win in November.

All of the senators agreed that there are no obvious contenders right now to challenge him, but that could change quickly if Democrats lose Senate seats in November.

Schumer has turned the tables since 2025

Attitudes within the Democratic caucus have improved since last year, when the base revolted against Schumer for the March vote to keep the Republican president's government open. Progressive groups like MoveOn called for him to step down, arguing that Democrats needed to fight harder against Trump and Republicans.

Schumer regained some favor with Democrats inside and outside the Capitol during a prolonged government shutdown a year ago and as he has repeatedly blocked Trump’s nominees and Republican legislation.

But while the calls to resign or step aside have waned, many are still agitating for change.

“Our priority right now is organizing and making sure we elect a new generation laser-focused on affordability and fighting corruption,” said Joel Payne, a national spokesman for MoveOn.

Referring to the 2025 calls for Schumer to step aside, Payne said the group’s members have “already rendered a judgment on Schumer’s tenure and made clear they’re eager for new leadership that energizes the party base.”

It’s unclear, though, whether calls from the progressive wing of the party will influence the secret ballot vote, in which Schumer needs only a majority to win.

Sen. Ben Ray Lujan, D-N.M., dismissed the talk about Schumer’s future.

“It’s hard to lose if no one else is challenging you,” he said.

The lower humidity will only last a day or two as moisture moves back into the region by the end of the week with an onshore breeze. This will bring the chance for showers and warmer weather for the weekend.

In the biggest single listing of sanctions since the Kremlin launched full-scale war on Ukraine almost five years ago, the EU also targeted 77 people accused of organizing, working on, or running in “sham elections” in occupied parts of Ukraine.

Announcing the sanctions, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said that more than half of them “address the production chain for the ballistic missiles Russia uses to kill Ukrainian civilians every day.”

“This is not the time to ease pressure on Moscow but to increase it,” she said.

The EU said the companies are on a list established by the Russian government itself “that identifies them as belonging to the Russian military-industrial complex, and they are therefore entitled to receive subsidies.”

The EU considers those officials running the companies to be “supporting Russia’s military and industrial complex.” It said the sanctions are aimed at “mid-level suppliers that represent the ‘core’ of the Russian military industry.”

The components they provide include electronics, communication equipment, radar and navigation systems, satellite and missile systems, as well as explosives and ammunition.

The move brings the total number of Russian officials and “entities” targeted by the EU to more than 4,500, including President Vladimir Putin, oligarchs suspected of backing him and scores of lawmakers, as well as banks and the shadow fleet illicitly shipping oil.

None of those moves succeeded in time to affect this year's midterm elections. It's a different matter in the states.

More than three dozen voting laws passed in Republican-controlled states are taking effect for the first time this year, many of them containing elements of Trump's stalled proposals. They include changes to what IDs are acceptable to register for the first time and requirements to show proof of citizenship, an issue the Republican president has tried but failed to get through Congress.

“Trump’s attacks on our elections are deeply damaging, but they are not happening in isolation,” said Sophia Lin Lakin, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Voting Rights Project. ”Across the country, states are also advancing restrictions that make it harder for eligible voters to cast a ballot."

Republican lawmakers who support the tighter voting laws, especially around voter ID, describe them as common sense changes that help build trust in elections.

Trump and other Republicans have been pushing for more restrictive rules since the president's false claims of widespread fraud in his 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden. Trump’s false claims have resonated with Republican voters, a majority of whom believe Biden was not legitimately elected despite all evidence to the contrary. Trump lost dozens of court challenges, his own attorney general found no evidence of widespread fraud, and reviews, audits and recounts in the battleground states where he contested his loss all affirmed Biden’s victory.

Among the changes confronting voters as early voting gets underway: Students in New Hampshire can no longer use student IDs; Utah voters returning mail ballots must include more information on the envelope; and some voters in Mississippi might need birth certificates or passports to verify their identities.

Changes to voter ID requirements are challenged

New Hampshire state Rep. Donald McFarlane said he sponsored the bill to eliminate student IDs as acceptable for voting because colleges don’t have the same controls when issuing those cards as government agencies.

“The change removes a special exception and applies the same government-issued ID standard to all voters,” he said, adding that his bill had bipartisan support.

Students, he said, can still get state IDs free of charge.

The new requirements have not gone unchallenged.

In South Dakota, the ACLU has filed a lawsuit seeking to halt a new law that includes requiring voters registering for the first time to present the most common forms of ID — driver's licenses, Tribal IDs and non-driver state IDs. They must be presented in person at places that accept registration.

“Proof of citizenship in itself is not terrible,” said Kathryn Johnson, president of the League of Women Voters of South Dakota.

Her concern is the requirement to present the IDs in person.

“We’re kind of a remote state, so sometimes it takes a drive, and you have to coordinate, you have to take off work, and all of these kinds of things,” she said.

Some Democrats also have expressed support for voter ID during recent debates. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said he was open to the idea as long as it wasn't based on “conspiracy theories.” When legislatures change their state's voting laws, they typically give election offices and voters time to adjust. Trump wanted federal voter ID and proof-of-citizenship legislation to take effect immediately, forcing election officials and voters to comply in the middle of the midterms.

Ohio seeks to scrub voter rolls

Ohio has a proof of citizenship requirement in effect for the first time this year for those registering to vote or updating their voter registration information at a Bureau of Motor Vehicles location. The state also eliminated its four-day grace period for mail ballots, which now must be received at local election offices by Election Day.

Yet the biggest concern for voting rights groups is an ongoing purge of the state's voter rolls. The databases used to check citizenship against voter registration lists can be outdated, said Freda Levenson, legal director of the ACLU of Ohio, which has sued to overturn the law.

“Vast numbers of perfectly eligible voters are vulnerable to being disenfranchised,” she said.

Republican state Sen. Theresa Gavarone, one of the primary sponsors of the bill, challenged the ACLU's legal action and said the problem it addresses is a real one.

“In the past two years, hundreds of noncitizens have been removed from Ohio’s voter rolls," she said in an email. "Every single vote cast by a noncitizen disenfranchises a lawful Ohio voter.”

Voters have mixed views on the changes

Outside an early voting center in Wayne County, Ohio, retired steel worker Dan Walter, an independent voter, said he opposes requiring documentary proof of citizenship to vote.

“It’s to keep people from voting, it sounds to me like,” he said.

His wife, Jody, a retired aerospace executive and a Democrat, said she felt the same way about Ohio's new requirement for registering to vote.

“A driver’s license doesn’t prove citizenship, and that’s all they ask for now,” she said. “It’s going to be an obstacle for so many people.”

Genia Fortune had a different view. A nurse, the Millersburg resident described herself as an independent and said she voted for President Barack Obama, a Democrat, and later for Trump. She believes Trump's false claims that the 2020 election was stolen and sees requiring documentary proof of citizenship as a necessary precaution.

“I just feel like you need to be a citizen and show proof of ID,” she said.

Voting and election laws have become a regular target for legislatures

The Trump administration has pushed multiple strategies to influence this year’s midterm elections, most of them stymied by Congress or the courts.

Chris Diaz, director of legislative tracking at the Voting Rights Lab, said the group has seen several versions of the Republican president’s proposals passed by his allies in the states.

A recently released report by the group highlighted some of the key areas drawing Republican lawmakers’ attention, including mail balloting, voter ID and the hunt for noncitizens on voter rolls.

Noncitizen voting has been a focus of the Trump administration despite it being a rare problem. The U.S. Department of Justice recently announced it had brought charges in roughly 90 cases for various types of election misconduct, including 50 against people who are alleged to have voted as noncitizens. The U.S. had 227 million registered voters for the 2024 presidential election.

The Brennan Center for Justice has identified nearly 40 laws in 21 states taking effect this election season that will make it harder for eligible voters to register, stay on the rolls or cast ballots.

The report from the center, part of the New York University School of Law, found that many of the new laws target subsets of voters.

“What I want voters to take away from this is that elections are still run by the states and there are still people in many states who are trying to make it harder for you to vote," said Sean Morales-Doyle, senior director of the center’s Voting Rights and Elections Program. “But that's all the more reason to go make a plan to vote and participate.”

Fields reported from Washington, and Smyth reported from Wooster and Millersburg, Ohio.

The surgery will require a weeklong recovery in the hospital, and the Vatican on Monday canceled all Leo's audiences through Oct. 20.

Leo himself revealed the discovery of the nodule during his Sunday noon prayer and said he was following doctors’ advice to have it removed. The Vatican press office said Monday that no particular issue precipitated the tests, denying Italian media reports suggesting an inflammation had prompted Leo to have the checkup.

On the eve of his departure for Rome's Gemelli hospital, it was business as usual Monday at the Vatican.

The 71-year-old Leo presided over an audience with members of a Rome-based charity, the Circolo San Pietro, and received a donation from them. He spoke in a strong, clear voice, praising their service and sacrifice. The crowd gave him a rousing round of applause afterward.

He had six other private audiences, made three appointments and the Vatican released a letter he had penned to the outgoing dean of the College of Cardinals, thanking him for his service. The letter was signed on Sunday.

In the afternoon, he had been expected to rejoin a weeklong conference he convened on ministering to families. But in the evening, the two conference organizers released a statement saying that given Leo's absence, they were changing plans and would delay publishing the final statement from the meeting until after he recovers.

The surgery was clearly unexpected and took participants of the family conference by surprise. Leo was also supposed to have presided over a Wednesday Mass, but on Monday the Vatican announced a replacement.

“Of course, it comes as a surprise to all of us that the Holy Father needs to be hospitalized for a few days for an intervention," said Quebec Cardinal Gérald Cyprien Lacroix. "But it will not change what we’re doing.”

Leo had summoned the presidents of bishops conferences around the world for a week of discussion about how one of Pope Francis' most important and controversial documents is being implemented.

“The Joy of Love” aimed to help the church better minister to families coping with today's challenges, including poverty and war but also divorce and LGBTQ+ children. It was controversial because Francis opened the door to letting divorced and civilly remarried Catholics have access to the sacraments.

A first medical event for the papacy

Leo's surgery marks the first major health event of his 17-month pontificate. It was significant because the pope himself revealed the news, in perhaps the most public way possible: at the end of his Sunday noon blessing, with thousands of people in St. Peter's Square.

The Vatican has for centuries zealously guarded the pope's health and has often sent out confusing information, or none at all, about papal illnesses. Pope Francis tried to change that by being upfront about his frailties and musing on his eventual death. But even during his pontificate, information was tightly controlled.

Leo's decision and reveal suggested an unusual level of transparency by the American pope.

“I really appreciated yesterday at the end of the Angelus, he himself said, ‘This is what’s going on — very transparent — and ask for prayers,’” Lacroix said.

A lung nodule is a small abnormal area measuring less than 3 centimeters (1 inch) that sometimes appears on a CT scan of the chest or abdomen. Often, the scans are done to investigate trauma or a lung infection, unrelated to a lung cancer screening. A nodule can be benign or malignant, and oftentimes surgical removal is recommended to ascertain whether it is cancerous since performing a lung biopsy by needle can be difficult.

Oncologists say if the nodule turns out to be cancerous, Leo's prognosis is “excellent” since it will have been removed at an early stage.

Unlike his predecessor Pope Francis, whose decade-long respiratory problems made him speak in a whisper, Leo tends to project his voice and frequently sings his prayers.

A staff member at the Joseph Lakanal middle school in Aubagne disarmed the boy after he fired multiple shots while roaming on two floors of the school, prosecutors said. Police then took him into custody. Aubagne is about 15 kilometers (9 miles) east of the Mediterranean port city of Marseille.

Gun violence perpetrated by pupils in schools is rare in France.

Marseille prosecutor Nicolas Bessone said in a statement that the pupil fired once or twice on the first floor, wounding the principal and the teacher in the legs. They were hit with pellets used in 12-gauge shotguns, according to Marseille deputy prosecutor Audrey Jouaneton and police. They were transported to a hospital with injuries that weren’t life threatening.

The boy's motives were unknown, Jouaneton said.

“We still don't have sufficiently precise evidence to say that he wanted to target the teaching staff — this principal and the teacher — but they were in any case hit by the shots,” she said.

The boy then went to the second floor and opened fire again, twice — the first at the floor in front of a teacher and the second in a classroom, hitting the teaching board. The shots didn't hit any teachers or the pupils in the classroom, but they were “very shocked," Bessone said.

The boy was then intercepted by a staff member in a stairwell, with what Jouaneton praised as “extreme courage.”

In a post on X, French President Emmanuel Macron praised the staff's “composure and exemplary response,” saying they “prevented an even worse outcome.”

Mental health counseling was offered to pupils.

There was no immediate information to suggest that the shooting was in any way connected to protests by high school pupils demanding better-resourced schools that have been shaking France for several weeks.

The middle school wasn't impacted on Monday by the protests, police said.

On X, Education Minister Édouard Geffray posted that “this unacceptable act once again highlights the rise of unbridled violence in our society, against which we must all mobilize. In words as well as deeds.”

Still, such events remain uncommon. In 2017, a 16-year-old student armed with a rifle, pistols and a small grenade opened fire at a high school in southern France, wounding three students and the principal.

Stabbings by pupils in schools are also unusual. Last year, a middle school employee in eastern France was stabbed to death by a 14-year-old student during a bag check.

Also in 2025, a 15-year-old student stabbed four other students at a high school in western France, killing one and wounding three others before he was arrested.

Leicester reported from Paris.

The hearing at Southwark Crown Court was adjourned until Tuesday after a morning of jury selection. The prosecution is due to open its case later in the week.

Brand, who is on bail, left the court building beside the River Thames holding hands with his wife, Laura Gallacher. He had earlier arrived at court flanked by security guards and accompanied by his wife.

Brand, 51, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and one count of indecent assault. The charges involve six women and alleged offenses between 1999 and 2009. The trial is expected to last up to 10 weeks.

Prosecutors said at previous hearings that Brand is accused of raping a woman in a hotel room at a Labour Party conference, grabbing a TV worker’s breasts and forcing her into a sex act in a toilet, and kissing and groping a radio station worker.

Known for risque stand-up routines and battles with drugs and alcohol, Brand rose to prominence in the early 2000s, hosting television programs and his own BBC radio show. He appeared in Hollywood films including “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and “Get Him to the Greek.”

In recent years he has moved away from mainstream media, relocated to Florida and built a large online following with videos mixing wellness, conspiracy theories and discussions of his religious devotion.

The Associated Press doesn’t name victims of alleged sexual violence, and British law protects their identities from the media for life.

Pete jugó apenas seis jugadas, pero regresó a la banda para recibir una ovación de pie, una poderosa muestra de apoyo para el primer integrante de la Nación Navajo en firmar con un equipo de la NFL.

Ahora, como agente libre tras ser dado de baja por los Cowboys, Pete ha regresado a casa, a la Nación Navajo, donde ha estado agradeciendo a los aficionados por su apoyo mientras busca su próxima oportunidad en la NFL. Sorprendió a estudiantes de su antigua escuela, Shiprock High School, con una aparición en el mitin de ánimo del regreso a casa y fungió como gran mariscal del desfile de la Feria del Norte de la Nación Navajo.

Pete se reunirá y saludará a los aficionados el lunes en un evento del Día de los Pueblos Indígenas en Albuquerque, Nuevo México.

Pete se suma a una larga lista de deportistas indígenas que han derribado barreras en el deporte, han inspirado orgullo en sus comunidades y se han convertido en modelos a seguir para niños indígenas. Desde campeones olímpicos hasta jugadores profesionales de baloncesto, estos atletas han ayudado a moldear la historia del deporte mientras abrían puertas para quienes vienen detrás.

Deportistas indígenas en el podio olímpico

Jim Thorpe, de la Nación Sac y Fox en Oklahoma, aún es considerado ampliamente como el mejor deportista de todos los tiempos, y ganó el decatlón y el pentatlón en los Juegos Olímpicos de 1912. También jugó seis temporadas en las Grandes Ligas de Béisbol y 12 en el fútbol americano profesional, incluida la American Professional Football Association, precursora de la National Football League.

Compañero de Thorpe en atletismo en la Carlisle Indian Industrial School en Pensilvania, Louis Tewanima mantuvo la práctica espiritual hopi de correr para obtener reconocimiento en esa institución represiva. Terminó noveno en el maratón de los Juegos Olímpicos de 1908 en Londres y segundo en los 10.000 metros en los Juegos Olímpicos de 1912 en Estocolmo, estableciendo un récord estadounidense en la prueba.

La historia del surf moderno tiene su origen en el hawaiano nativo Duke Kahanamoku. Sus logros internacionales, como medallas de oro y plata en natación en los Juegos Olímpicos de 1912, 1920 y 1924, hicieron que el surf se conociera ampliamente. Kahanamoku ayudó a establecer las tablas de surf como equipo estándar para rescates en el océano. Actuó en películas y se desempeñó de 1935 a 1961 como jefe de policía de Honolulu.

Corredores indígenas marcaron el ritmo durante el siglo XX

El maratonista Ellison Myers “Tarzan” Brown, de la tribu Narragansett en Rhode Island, ganó el Maratón de Boston en 1936 y 1939 y compitió por Estados Unidos en los Juegos Olímpicos de 1936 en Berlín. Brown iba a correr el maratón en los Juegos Olímpicos de 1940, pero los juegos fueron cancelados debido a la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

El corredor oglala lakota Billy Mills fue el primer no europeo en ganar el oro olímpico en los 10 kilómetros con su sorpresiva carrera, con récord olímpico, en los Juegos Olímpicos de 1964 en Tokio. Esa carrera fue el mejor resultado de medalla para Estados Unidos en esa prueba olímpica desde la plata de Tewanima más de medio siglo antes, y el oro de Mills en 10 kilómetros aún no ha sido igualado por un olímpico estadounidense.

La primera mujer estadounidense en terminar un maratón por debajo de 2 horas y 30 minutos, Patti Catalano Dillon, es de ascendencia mi’kmaw y creció en Massachusetts. Dillon fue subcampeona en el Maratón de Nueva York de 1980 y en los maratones de Boston de 1979, 1980 y 1981. Dillon tuvo récords mundiales en el medio maratón y en las carreras de 30 kilómetros y 20 kilómetros.

Jugadores indígenas en el deporte profesional

Ryneldi Becenti fue la primera atleta indígena estadounidense en la WNBA, al jugar para las Phoenix Mercury en la temporada de 1997. Becenti creció jugando el vertiginoso “rez ball” en la Nación Navajo y fue una figura destacada en Scottsdale Community College y en Arizona State University antes de hacerse profesional como jugadora en Europa.

La jugadora de Los Angeles Sparks Aaliyah Nye es ciudadana de la Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi en Michigan. Máxima anotadora en la preparatoria y luego en Alabama, Nye se incorporó a la WNBA en 2025 como selección del draft de Las Vegas Aces. En 2026, fue seleccionada en el draft y luego dada de baja por Toronto Tempo y Atlanta Dream antes de ser reclamada por las Sparks.

El golfista Notah Begay III consiguió cuatro victorias en el PGA Tour en 1999 y 2000. Indígena estadounidense con ascendencia navajo, de San Felipe e Isleta, Begay estableció una fundación para promover la salud y el bienestar de los indígenas estadounidenses mediante programas de fútbol y golf. Es analista de golf en televisión.

Speaking at the Warsaw Security Forum in Poland, Zelenskyy said Ukraine had been “horribly surprised” that Moscow struck a power plant in the northeastern city of Kharkiv, as well as a gas production facility and a civilian gas station hours after Trump announced the purported “energy ceasefire” in the 4 1/2-year-old war.

Later on Monday, during an interview on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Zelenksyy said his government had refrained from striking Russian energy sites since Trump’s announcement Sunday, and was ready to honor an energy ceasefire as “a good first step” toward closing the war.

But, he said, "I’m not sure that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin is ready."

“Even after yesterday’s messages from (Trump) ... Putin attacked our gas infrastructure,” Zelenskyy said. “When we speak about energy ceasefire, it means only one thing: that they don’t attack our energy infrastructure and we don’t respond on their energy infrastructure.”

Trump’s brief social media post Sunday offered few details but said the energy ceasefire took effect immediately, adding: “Do not break it!” On Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov wouldn’t say whether Russia had agreed to such a ceasefire, saying only: “Contacts are ongoing."

Energy strikes have caused pain for both Ukraine and Russia

Trump previously announced a similar agreement on ceasing energy strikes that did not come to fruition. In a social media post on Sept. 14, he said both countries had agreed “not to hit” each other’s energy infrastructure, but offered no details on that proposal either.

Russia has used attacks on energy facilities in order to deny Ukrainian civilians power, heat and running water during the war, hoping to wear down public support for Ukraine's response to Moscow’s full-scale invasion. Ukrainian officials describe the strategy as “weaponizing winter," and fear Russia could ramp up such attacks as cold weather approaches.

Ukraine, meanwhile, has launched strikes against Russian energy sites like oil refineries, sometimes deep within Russian territory. That's prompted Trump to blame Zelenskyy for record U.S. diesel prices — rather than the U.S.-led war in Iran — and to strike a deal with Putin on Friday to import diesel from Russia in an attempt to bring fuel prices down ahead of U.S. midterm elections.

Speaking on Fox News on Monday, Zelenskyy pushed back on Trump's claims that Ukrainian strikes in Russia were driving up fuel prices, saying: “Everybody understands that the prices on diesel (don't) depend on our attacks on diesel in Russia. Everybody understands that it depends on the blocking (of the) Strait of Hormuz.”

EU foreign policy chief skeptical of energy ceasefire

The European Union’s top diplomat on Monday welcomed the prospect of a pause in energy strikes on Ukraine, but said she sees no sign that Russia is willing to respect it.

“We haven’t yet seen that ... Russia will stick to it,” EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said at a meeting of the bloc's foreign ministers in Luxembourg. “Personally, I would also welcome that the ceasefire would include people not being killed, not only energy.”

Trump's deal with Putin to purchase diesel from Russia dismayed officials in the U.S., Ukraine and around Europe. A bipartisan group of six U.S. senators, including four Republicans, called Sunday on the Trump administration to “immediately reverse course” on the deal, saying the U.S. should “not provide Putin with a financial lifeline” while Russia is killing Ukrainian civilians.

Kallas also pushed back on Trump's comments Saturday that it was time for Ukraine to get a new president and that Zelenskyy has not done enough to end the war. She said that now is not the time to hold elections in Ukraine, at least not without a ceasefire.

On Monday, Zelenskyy said holding elections in Ukraine was impossible during war time, especially with new Russian tactics involving attacks day and night. He added, however, that he would be ready to work toward doing so if Ukraine secured a full ceasefire lasting at least 60 days.

In response, Kremlin spokesman Peskov said in a statement that in case of a Ukrainian election, Putin would be ready to halt strikes on Ukraine “specifically on election day,” and that Kyiv only wanted a 60-day ceasefire “to gather their strength, heal their wounds, and continue the war.”

Russian attacks kill 5 and injure others, including children

Meanwhile, Zelenskyy called for greater pressure on Russia to end the war after a Russian drone struck a high-rise apartment building in Kyiv on Monday evening, killing two people and injuring nine.

“This is further proof that Russia must face greater pressure. They are the ones continuing the brutal strikes. They are the ones prolonging the war,” he said in a post on X.

He called the attack a “response” to the U.S. proposal for an energy ceasefire.

“We count on the United States to recognize these signals from Russia and act with strength. Strength is needed to force Russia to end this war,” Zelenskyy said.

Monday's attack came a day after a Russian drone struck the village of Pisochyn in the Kharkiv district, killing three people and injuring nine others, including children, according to the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office.

Ukrainian air defense forces shot down or suppressed 89 of 121 Russian drones overnight Monday, Ukraine’s Air Force said in a Telegram post. The attacks included one Kh-59 guided air-to-surface missile and 76 jet-powered Shahed-type drones, the statement said. Strikes were recorded at 15 locations in Ukraine, while debris from downed drones fell at four locations.

Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry said Monday its air defenses overnight intercepted 151 Ukrainian drones over Russian regions as well as the illegally annexed Crimea and the waters of the Black Sea.

In a separate statement, the ministry said its forces carried out drone strikes overnight on Ukraine’s port infrastructure and a bulk carrier heading to Ukraine's port city of Odesa with military cargo on board.

Iran again denied involvement in a suspected attempt to attack a U.S.-run military airbase in England. Meanwhile, Saudi forces responded to a drone and cruise missile attack on the kingdom launched from Yemen, according to state-run media, while Iran-backed Houthi rebels said airstrikes on two districts in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and in the country’s north killed 10 people and wounded 19 others.

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

Cluster munition detonates during school outing in Israel

An unexploded munition detonated during a school trip along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon on Monday, killing a teenage boy and injuring 24 others, Israeli authorities and rescue workers said.

The Israeli military said the munition was believed to belong to the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. An initial examination of the scene indicated it had been left in the area, the military said.

Local officials said the students were on an annual school trip. Defense Minister Israel Katz said the blast was under investigation.

Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue service said two people were seriously injured.

Iran denies involvement in military airbase incident in England

Iran’s ambassador to Britain on Monday again rejected allegations of Tehran’s involvement in an incident at a U.S.-run military air base, urging British authorities to provide evidence supporting their claims, state-run IRNA reported.

Ambassador Ali Mousavi made the remarks during a meeting with Stephen Doughty, Britain’s minister for the Middle East, at the Foreign Office in London. Mousavi told Doughty that Iran had no involvement in the Sept. 27 incident at RAF Fairford and reiterated Tehran’s willingness to cooperate with British authorities in the investigation.

The meeting came as British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the incident was “almost certainly” directed by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.

“We will not tolerate these threats on our soil," he told lawmakers Monday.

Police have arrested seven men in the investigation into the alleged plot on the airbase, which has been used by American bombers to strike Iran, but all have been released on bail and no one has been charged.

Saudi forces respond to attacks from Yemen

Saudi state-run media say their forces have responded to attacks on the kingdom, but gave no further details.

The report came after Yemen's Houthi-run Health Ministry and the Houthi-controlled SABA news agency said airstrikes on the capital, Sanaa, and in the northern province of al-Jawf killed 10 people and wounded 19 others.

The rebels' media center blamed Saudi Arabia for the Sanaa strikes, which came as the Houthis continued to fire missiles and drones toward the kingdom’s airports. Repeated rebel attacks on King Khalid Airport in the capital, Riyadh, have killed at least 14 people, wounded at least 320 others and caused the facility to close temporarily.

Saudi authorities are investigating the failure by air defense systems to respond to the missiles that hit King Khalid Airport, which is in one of the most secure areas in the kingdom.

Two regional officials said Monday an initial probe showed the Houthis had first fired multiple drones to pave the way for a mix of cruise and ballistic missiles. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because they're not authorized to speak to the media.

One official said the probe also wants to know why there was no early warning of the attack, since the Houthi missiles and drones traveled over 1,000 kilometers to reach Riyadh.

Indian sailors missing after drone hits tanker

India's Foreign Ministry said Monday two Indian seafarers are missing after a drone struck the MT Petro Dolphin in the Strait of Hormuz area. The commercial tanker had 11 Indian sailors on board when it was hit Sunday, the ministry said.

A second vessel, the Marshall Islands-flagged MT Valthera, was struck by an unknown projectile, sparking a fire on board, but all 11 Indian sailors on the tanker were safe, the ministry said.

At least three vessels were attacked by unknown projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, according to reports issued Monday by the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Center. But it was not clear if those reports included the vessels carrying the Indian sailors.

EU to step up support

for Lebanese army

The European Union's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Monday a new support mission to Lebanon will help train the country's army and security forces “to strengthen territorial control, border security, and internal security.”

She told a meeting of foreign ministers in Luxembourg the new mission would strengthen EU support of Lebanese efforts to restore the government’s full sovereignty and build stability. She described the mission as “a major update of our security ties.”

The mission follows long-serving U.N. peacekeepers leaving at the end of the year.

Helicópteros de rescate y soldados llevaron alimentos y otros materiales de ayuda a comunidades a lo largo del río Budhi Gandaki, en el centro-norte de Nepal. No se han informado fallecimientos.

El gobierno indicó que una alerta temprana permitió que la mayoría de las personas llegara a terrenos más altos antes de que llegara el agua.

La inundación del domingo fue causada por un deslizamiento de tierra que inicialmente bloqueó el río cerca de la aldea de Chumchure. Dañó o destruyó cinco puentes, las obras de construcción de tres centrales hidroeléctricas y decenas de viviendas y granjas.

Dharmendra Kumar Mishra, principal administrador gubernamental del distrito de Gorkha, dijo que más de 200 personas fueron evacuadas el lunes.

Los fuertes vientos detuvieron los vuelos de helicópteros por la tarde, pero se reanudarán el martes para entregar suministros de ayuda, dijo Mishra. Los extensos daños en las carreteras significan que los helicópteros seguirán abasteciendo a las aldeas aisladas por las inundaciones, añadió.

La Autoridad Nacional de Reducción y Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres de Nepal informó más temprano el lunes que entre los rescatados había nueve extranjeros, quienes fueron trasladados a localidades cercanas.

La zona inundada cuenta con rutas de senderismo populares entre excursionistas, y octubre es una de las épocas de mayor afluencia de visitantes.

Entre los rescatados estaba la turista china Weiwei Zhao, quien estaba haciendo senderismo con una amiga, pero regresó debido a las fuertes nevadas.

“En la mañana escuchamos una voz (sonido) muy fuerte como de terremoto, pero después supimos lo que pasó frente a nuestro camino”, dijo.

Se enviaron camiones con alimentos, tiendas de campaña, medicinas y otros suministros a las áreas a las que se puede llegar por carretera, mientras helicópteros del ejército transportaban provisiones a aldeas montañosas remotas.

El río Budhi Gandaki desemboca en el río Trishuli y es una vía fluvial clave cerca de la capital, Katmandú.

Videos en redes sociales muestran casas y cobertizos arrastrados por el río crecido, que fluye entre altas montañas. No estaba claro de inmediato cuántas aldeas resultaron afectadas.

Nepal aún se recupera de una devastadora inundación que arrasó en agosto la zona montañosa de la frontera entre Nepal y China, dejando más de 1.400 muertos y miles más desaparecidos.

La oficina del primer ministro de Nepal, Balendra Shah, anunció el fin de las operaciones de búsqueda y rescate el 5 de octubre, mientras los esfuerzos de recuperación pasan a centrarse en la reparación de la infraestructura.

It's been that kind of October for Los Angeles so far.

The Dodgers went 1 for 6 with runners in scoring position during Sunday night's 2-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. They grounded into three double plays and left nine runners on base.

“Any loss in the playoffs is not great but it’s a long series and it’s just the first game,” first baseman Freddie Freeman said.

The Dodgers have scored a total of 15 runs in their five playoff games so far. They are 2 for 22 with runners in scoring position, adding to the difficulty of their pursuit of a third consecutive World Series championship.

They scored 24 runs and hit .324 with runners in scoring position over their first five postseason games in 2024. They scored 29 times and batted .265 with runners in scoring position over the same period in last year's playoffs.

“We had our chances, but they made plays, pitches when they needed to,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after Game 1 against Milwaukee. “We’ve just got to reset.”

Catcher Will Smith is 1 for 19 in the postseason after going 0 for 3 with a walk against the Brewers. Shohei Ohtani is 3 for 16 with no extra-base hits or RBIs. Mookie Betts is 4 for 18.

Betts was the leadoff hitter for the NLCS opener. Smith batted third, and Ohtani was in the cleanup spot. Asked about changing the lineup to help Smith, Roberts acknowledged that was a possibility.

“I think there’s always lineup construction,” Roberts said. “I can think through — yeah, he’s not swinging the bat well. Yeah, we’ll see. I just — it’s hard because the body of work, and he just has that knack to get a hit, to get a big hit.”

Smith batted .276 (16 for 58) with eight RBIs in the postseason last year. He homered twice in the World Series against Toronto.

Los Angeles scored its only run Sunday night when Ohtani scampered home on Andy Pages' single in the second. The Dodgers had the bases loaded when Kiké Hernández bounced into an inning-ending double play against Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski.

Pages struck out with runners on the corners for the final out of the sixth. Batting with two on and two down in the ninth, Betts flied to the warning track in center.

“That’s a great pitching staff," Freeman said. "That’s two great pitching staffs. Two great teams going at it. It’s kind of what we envisioned.”

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the winners in Stockholm, noting that their work created the theoretical foundation to better understand how consumers decide whether to save or spend, insights that make it easier for policymakers worldwide to stabilize economies after fluctuations.

“The laureates’ research has made it possible to manage major macroeconomic crises far more effectively than before,” the Nobel committee wrote in a paper explaining the economists' work. “It has been hugely beneficial during the pandemic and the energy crises of recent years.”

Hall, 83, is affiliated with Stanford University in California. Woodford, who was born in 1955, is affiliated with Columbia University in New York.

Woodford spoke to the committee by phone from New York: “It’s a tremendous honor. It’s a surprise.”

Hall also said the award was a “wonderful surprise.”

“I’ve spent my career trying to understand how the economy works, following interesting questions wherever they led. When I thought I had a new idea, the next step was to find out whether it was actually new, whether it was right, and whether it mattered," he said in a statement released by Stanford.

Duo overturned earlier economic assumptions

For decades, governments responded to economic shocks by following the Depression-era prescriptions of the British economist John Maynard Keynes: Intervene in the economy by lowering interest rates and taxes and hiking government spending, thereby encouraging consumers and businesses to spend and invest and help restart growth.

“This is the Keynesian recipe and it worked well — until it didn’t,” said Timo Boppart of the Nobel economics committee.

Policymakers had thought economic management involved simple trade-offs — unemployment, for instance, would stay low at a time of high inflation and rise when inflation fell. But the “ stagflation ” of the 1970s — when the world economy experienced simultaneous high inflation and high unemployment — proved the formula was simplistic.

Some economists argued that government attempts to intervene in the economy were doomed to fail. But Hall and Woodford, in separate contributions, set about improving the Keynesian model to take into account how consumers and businesses actually make decisions about whether to invest and spend.

“Economic outcomes are the result of millions of decisions made at the microlevel by households and businesses,’’ the Nobel committee wrote. “Using models based upon this approach, rather than simply studying the economy from a macro perspective, like a bird’s eye view,” Hall and Woodford’s research “generated a paradigm shift in the theory of stabilization policy.”

Hall studied consumer choices

Hall studied the way that consumers' decisions about whether and how much to spend depend on what they expect their future income to be.

“If they are optimistic, they will consume more than if they are pessimistic,’’ the committee wrote. But consumer expectations can change unexpectedly as new information about the economy comes in. Hall found that forecasting future consumer spending is virtually impossible.

The idea that consumption is mostly unpredictable “is not good news for forecasters, or policymakers,” Olivier Blanchard, who was chief economist at the International Monetary Fund during the 2008 financial crisis, said by email. “But it is news they must take into account in thinking about the effects of policy.”

Hall also explored the idea that some households are so strapped financially that they can’t borrow or tap savings in response to economic changes. In a 1982 paper with the economist Fredric Mishkin, Hall found that around 80% of households made spending decisions based on their expectations for the future “while the rest lived hand to mouth," the committee wrote.

“The prize is for research that pushes our understanding of macroeconomics from the bottom up, from families and firms making decisions over time, while looking ahead,” Ivan Werning, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said in an email.

Woodford analyzed how businesses make decisions

Woodford’s research established that businesses make decisions about prices based on where they think interest rates will go in the future.

“If the business believes that its competitors’ prices and its own costs will increase, it is best to set a higher price than it would with the opposite expectation,” the Nobel committee wrote. “Businesses’ decisions are thus also governed by their expectations."

Therefore, central banks such as the U.S. Federal Reserve, which set short-term interest rates, should provide “clear and credible communication about how they reason and what they plan to do." Central banks have responded to this insight by working harder to explain what they are doing.

The new Fed chair, Kevin Warsh, has said the trend toward such “forward guidance” went too far. He's trying to scale back how much the U.S. central bank talks about its thinking and its intentions.

Woodford's research also offered guidance on how central banks should respond to energy price shocks — like the one that followed the U.S. and Israeli attack on Iran in February — that can both feed inflation and send unemployment higher.

“Unlike the traditional Keynesian models, Woodford’s model recommends a cooling measure, such as increased interest rates, to avoid uncontrolled inflation,” the Nobel committee wrote. “His insight has made it possible to respond to recent supply shocks more effectively than during the oil crises of the 1970s.”

During the phone call broadcast at a news conference, Woodford said his work has stressed “the understanding of the people who are in the markets and making decisions about spending.”

Economics prize is last Nobel announcement this year

The economics prize is formally known as the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. The central bank established it in 1968 as a memorial to Nobel, the 19th-century Swedish businessman and chemist who invented dynamite and established the five Nobel Prizes.

Nobel purists stress that the economics prize is technically not a Nobel Prize, but it is always presented together with the others on Dec. 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death in 1896.

Nobel honors were announced last week in medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and peace.

Monday’s award was the second Nobel win for a Stanford University professor this year. Dr. Karl Deisseroth shared the medicine prize with Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel for their work that led to a tool that uses light to help unravel how the brain works.

The prize money this year is 12 million Swedish kronor (about $1.2 million), whether for an individual, small group of laureates or organization.

Helicopters and soldiers brought food and other relief supplies to communities along the Budhi Gandaki River in north-central Nepal. No deaths have been reported.

The government said an early warning allowed most people to reach higher ground before the flood struck.

Sunday’s flood followed a landslide that blocked the river near Chumchure village. The floodwaters damaged or destroyed five bridges, construction sites for three hydropower plants, and dozens of houses and farms.

Dharmendra Kumar Mishra, Gorkha district’s chief government administrator, said more than 200 people were evacuated on Monday.

High winds halted helicopter flights in the afternoon, but they will resume Tuesday to deliver relief supplies, Mishra said. Extensive road damage means helicopters will continue supplying villages cut off by the flooding, he added.

Nepal’s National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority said earlier on Monday that those rescued included nine foreigners, who were taken to nearby towns.

The affected area includes popular trekking routes, and October is one of the busiest months for visitors.

Among those rescued was Chinese tourist Weiwei Zhao, who had been trekking with a friend but turned back because of heavy snowfall.

“In the morning time we heard a very loud earthquake like voice (sound) but later we know that what happened in front of our path,” she said.

Trucks were carrying food, tents, medicine and other supplies to communities accessible by road, while army helicopters delivered aid to remote mountain villages.

The Budhi Gandaki flows into the Trishuli River and is a key waterway near Kathmandu, the capital.

Videos on social media showed houses and sheds being swept away by the swollen river as it surged between steep mountains. It was not immediately clear how many villages had been affected.

Nepal is still recovering from a devastating flood that swept through the mountainous Nepal-China border region in August, leaving more than 1,400 people dead and thousands missing.

Prime Minister Balendra Shah’s office announced an end to search and rescue operations on Oct. 5 as recovery efforts shifted toward repairing infrastructure.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back for updates. AP’s earlier story follows below.

Stocks kicked off a busy week on Monday with mixed trading on Wall Street that is keeping the market hovering around its all-time high.

The S&P 500 slipped 0.1% and is trading around its record set last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 161 points, or 0.3%, as of 3:34 p.m. Eastern time. The Nasdaq composite fell 0.5%.

Shares in 60% of the companies in the S&P 500 rose, led by communication services stocks. Meta Platforms rose 3.2%, T-Mobile added 2.4%, AT&T gained 1.5% and Verizon Communications rose 2.5%.

Energy stocks had some of the biggest gains as oil prices jumped. Chevron rose 1.5%.

However, a slide in technology stocks dragged the market lower. Micron Technology fell 3.9%, Advanced Micro Devices fell 2.7%, and Nvidia dropped 1.2%%. They are among several companies in the sector with big stock values that tend to have a heavy influence on the market. They have also been the driving force behind the broader market's record gains throughout the year.

Those companies could face more scrutiny from investors during this round of corporate earnings as Wall Street tries to get a better sense of whether the stock gains made during the frenzy over artificial intelligence can translate into future growth.

“AI continues to support growth, reinforcing the outlook for tech and critical suppliers across the supply chain," wrote Magdalena Ocampo, market strategist at Principal Asset Management, in a report. ”Yet uncertainty about AI’s long-term impact persists, making future gains more reliant on earnings delivery rather than potential."

Stocks are reaching for records often because of the tech sector, but remain very volatile on a daily basis, partly because of big shifts in oil prices and their impact on bond yields and inflation.

The price of Brent crude, the international standard, rose 1.8% to settle at $106.65 per barrel. Prices have been swinging between $96 and nearly $110 over the last month over uncertainty about the U.S. war with Iran and its continued impact on global energy supplies and inflation.

Prices jumped despite President Donald Trump's announcement on social media Friday that he struck a deal to buy Russian diesel with Russian President Vladimir Putin, aiming to tamp down a spike in fuel prices ahead of the Nov. 3 U.S. midterm elections. The plan, though, runs counter to U.S. efforts to cut the flow of money Russia gets from oil and gas sales that can be used to pay for its war against Ukraine.

Higher oil prices have been driving gasoline prices higher. That's a direct hit to many people's wallets, as gasoline is usually a necessary expense. The rise in diesel is more indirect, raising the costs for just about any shipped product, which usually results in higher prices for everything from food to clothing.

The surge in energy prices and its impact on the broader economy will be a key focus this week as Wall Street reviews several important economic updates. They include fresh data on the housing market, inflation and retail sales.

The big updates this week involve reports about inflation hitting consumers and businesses. On Wednesday, the government will release the closely-watched consumer price index, or CPI, which measures price changes for a wide range of products and services. Economists expect the index to show the rate of inflation worsened to 3.6% in September from 3.4% in August.

A report on inflation called the producer price index will be released on Thursday and is also expected to show that inflation remains stubbornly high. It measures inflation faced by businesses before it hits consumers.

An update on how consumers are reacting to high prices will be released on Thursday. Economists expect the report on retail sales for September to show that households pulled back on spending.

The rate of inflation by any measure remains well above the Federal Reserve's target rate of 2%. That prompted the central bank to raise its benchmark interest rate at its last meeting in an effort to cool inflation. Wall Street expects another rate hike before the year ends.

Inflation and expectations for high interest rates have been driving Treasury yields higher in the bond market. The 10-year Treasury yield, which influences mortgage rates, recently touched its highest level since 2002. It has since eased a bit and stood at 5.24% late Friday. U.S. bond trading was closed Monday for the Columbus Day holiday.

Higher mortgage rates have been weighing on the housing market and Wall Street will get an update on home sales on Tuesday.

The latest round of corporate earnings updates ramps up this week with financial results from banks. Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo will report their results on Tuesday and Bank of America will report its results on Wednesday. They have been reporting record profits throughout the year and Wall Street expects more of the same for the latest quarter.

Markets in Europe gained ground and markets in Asia were mostly lower. Markets in Tokyo were closed for a holiday.

Pete played just six snaps, but returned to the sideline to a standing ovation — a powerful show of support for the first member of the Navajo Nation to sign with an NFL team.

Now a free agent after being waived by the Cowboys, Pete has returned home to the Navajo Nation, where he has been thanking fans for their support as he looks for his next NFL opportunity. He surprised students at his alma mater, Shiprock High School, with an appearance at their homecoming pep rally and served as grand marshal of the Northern Navajo Nation Fair Parade.

On Monday, Pete will meet and greet fans at an Indigenous Peoples Day event in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Pete joins a long list of Native athletes who have broken barriers in sports, inspired pride in their communities and become role models for Native children. From Olympic champions to professional basketball players, these athletes have helped shape sports history while opening doors for those who follow.

Native athletes stood on Olympic podium

Still widely considered the greatest athlete of all time, Jim Thorpe, of the Sac and Fox Nation in Oklahoma, won the decathlon and pentathlon in the 1912 Olympics. He also played six seasons in Major League Baseball and 12 in professional football, including in the American Professional Football Association, the precursor to the National Football League.

A track and field teammate of Thorpe’s at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania, Louis Tewanima carried on the Hopi spiritual practice of running to gain recognition at the repressive institution. He finished ninth in the marathon at the 1908 Olympics in London and second in the 10,000 meters at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, setting an American record in the event.

Modern surfing traces its history to Native Hawaiian Duke Kahanamoku. His international demonstrations between winning gold and silver swimming medals at the 1912, 1920 and 1924 Olympics made surfing widely known. Kahanamoku helped establish surfboards as standard ocean lifeguarding equipment. He acted in movies and served from 1935 to 1961 as sheriff of Honolulu.

Native runners set the pace through the 20th century

Marathoner Ellison Myers “Tarzan” Brown, of the Narragansett Tribe in Rhode Island, won the Boston Marathon in 1936 and 1939 and competed for the U.S. in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. Brown was to run the marathon in the 1940 Olympics, but the games were canceled due to World War II.

Oglala Lakota runner Billy Mills was the first non-European to win Olympic gold in the 10-kilometer run with his upset, Olympic-record race at the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo. The run was the best U.S. medal finish in that Olympic event since Tewanima's silver more than half a century earlier — and Mills' 10K gold has yet to be equaled by a U.S. Olympian.

The first American woman to finish a marathon under 2 hours, 30 minutes, Patti Catalano Dillon, is of Mi’kmaw descent and grew up in Massachusetts.

This story is published through the Global Indigenous Reporting Network at The Associated Press.

The calls started rolling in. Someone mentioned the $5,000 payout that Trump promised if Republicans keep control of Congress, which Martinez thought was so hilarious that he played a laugh track.

Then a trucker shared a silver lining from high diesel prices — he was expecting to take an unplanned vacation because he could no longer afford to fill up his rig.

Martinez has been hosting his show for nearly a decade in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley, where Latinos have gone from a fifth to nearly a quarter of the population over the same time period. He added an hour of politics to his morning talk show at the end of Trump's first term, and listeners flooded his phone with their worries about the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, their unhappiness with inflation and their concern over Joe Biden's age.

Now, at the halfway mark of Trump's second term, Martinez said people are just as frustrated as they were then. They're angry about higher prices for fuel and groceries, and Republicans could face the consequences in the midterm elections.

“It’s the economy, stupid. That’s what it is. I mean, things have gotten so bad,” Martinez said. “People didn’t think Biden did a good job. Everything was expensive and now it’s worse.”

Latinos make up a key part of a winning coalition

Martinez broadcasts from a fourth floor studio with hardwood floors and a view of an old church in downtown Allentown. He operates the show's control board like an orchestra conductor and sits in front of a poster with campaign signs for Democrats and Republicans.

The studio is located in Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District, where freshman incumbent Ryan Mackenzie faces Democratic challenger Bob Brooks, a retired firefighter and union official, in one of the most closely watched races in the country.

Latinos are about a quarter of the district's population, and they were a key part of Trump's winning coalition two years ago.

Both candidates have organized Latino outreach efforts.

Brooks calls himself “Bombero Bob” — Spanish for firefighter — and recently stopped by a Mexican restaurant and a barber shop with a Dominican flag hanging inside. Mackenzie's campaign has promoted support from Latino voters and officials, and the congressman opened a district office in downtown Allentown with Spanish-speaking staff.

Martinez is a longtime critic of the president, and this year is backing Brooks. But he said his political roots are in the Republican Party. He supported candidates like Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush, and he opposed Biden's decision to seek reelection because he was too old.

Martinez said he uses his show to keep people engaged with politics when some have despaired about the prospect of things getting better.

“I got a call yesterday from a guy that said that he was just not going to vote,” Martinez said. “I understand that feeling of frustration, but not doing nothing is not the answer.”

Economic stress looms over the campaign

Republicans know Martinez's show is an avenue to reach voters, and they're buying advertising time on it.

Jackie Rivera, vice chair of Lehigh County Republicans, said the party wants to hold on to the support from Latino voters that Trump won over two years ago, and that means connecting with them on issues like “faith and family.”

Although Trump often brags about the economy under his leadership, she said her party wasn't making the same mistake as Democrats did before.

“We’re not pretending everything is great right now,” she said. “You have to be honest with them so that they can believe in you and actually trust in what you’re stating to them.”

Matt Tuerk, Allentown’s Democratic mayor, said this year’s election has the “same vibes” as two years ago, when Biden was trying to convince people that the economy was strong.

“People on the street were like, ‘Yeah, but my monthly childcare bill is higher and then my monthly mortgage, the price of groceries is ridiculously high,’” he said. “That’s the same story that you hear right now. There’s been no improvement.”

Gas and grocery prices contribute to living ‘day by day’

Claudia Parrales-DeLeon, a Democratic listener from Allentown, said Martinez’s show helps people feel connected as they pay more for gas and groceries and face Trump’s immigration crackdown.

“I don’t know if it makes people less afraid, as much as it makes people more informed,” she said.

She recalled listening one day when a particular caller's story brought tears to her eyes.

“This one gentleman who shared how he just lost his job, he can’t find work, doesn’t even know where he’s going to get his next meal for him and his children," she said.

Alberto Pena isn’t a regular listener to Martinez, but his concerns are similar. For nearly two decades, Pena and his wife have run a Dominican restaurant in Allentown, where the aroma of crispy pastelillos and savory rice fills the dining room.

He voted for Trump hoping he’d turn things around after high inflation under Biden. But they're still “living day by day,” and he's leaning toward Brooks this year.

“This is not what we expected,” he said. “The economy is completely on the ground."

Penix was hopeful to return and play in overtime, but during the Ravens' opening possession of the extra session, Penix said the pain was getting worse and worse as his body cooled down.

“I did take some throws on the sideline to see how I felt, and I did not feel like I was going to be able to give our team what we needed to to be able to help us win that football game because of the pain that I was feeling,” Penix said.

After he was sacked with 27 seconds left in regulation, Penix stayed down and was attended to by athletic trainers. He was replaced for one play by Tua Tagovailoa, but then reentered the game for one play, throwing an incomplete pass on third down. The Falcons then punted on the final play of regulation.

“I was trying to get out there,” he said. “I feel like if we had the ball first in overtime, I probably would have been out there.”

Penix was hopeful this will not be a long-term injury.

“Knowing me, I’m going to be ready to go next week because I sat out enough in my career,” he said. “I’m going to do everything I can in the training room, make sure I get back to where I want to be.”

Penix missed the first two games of the regular season recovering from Achilles tendon surgery last November, during which the Falcons lost twice and the offense did not enter the red zone in either game. He returned in blowout wins over the Packers and Saints, and played fairly well against the Ravens. Penix was 19 of 32 for 240 yards and a touchdown while getting sacked three times.

“I thought versus a tough defense up front, a tough coverage, I thought he made some plays,” Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski said. “Like every quarterback, you’re not going to make every play, but there’s things that he can certainly improve upon. But I thought he battled.”

Should Penix be sidelined, it will be Tagovailoa who would start against the Bears, not Cooper Rush, who played in Atlanta's first two games. Tagovailoa came on for the Falcons' overtime possession Sunday. He completed one pass in his Falcons debut and then had a pass intercepted by Kyle Hamilton to end the game.

Penix had a towel over his head in overtime sitting on the bench, revealing some of the frustration of having to deal with another injury. Since becoming the full-time starter at the start of last season, the former 2024 first-round draft pick has only played in 12 of his team's 22 games.

“It’s frustrating, you know?” he said. “But I think the biggest thing is just, I want to be out there, especially in a big moment in a game like that.”

When “Snoop” Huntley is leading the offense, the Ravens don't feel like a backup is on the field.

Huntley led Baltimore to a tying touchdown and 2-point conversion in the last minute of regulation and then scored on a 1-yard sneak in overtime as the Ravens rallied to beat the Atlanta Falcons 30-23 on Sunday night.

“There's not a locker room in the NFL that has more confidence in their backup quarterback than we have in Snoop,” coach Jesse Minter said.

Added safety Kyle Hamilton, whose interception in overtime ended the game: “When Snoop gets a chance to go out there, it's a Snoop game. It's not a backup quarterback, and he's done it so any times. It's a blessing to have him.”

Derrick Henry ran for 102 yards against the Falcons' top-ranked run defense for the Ravens (4-1).

“If we let it be, this can be a launching point for us to really get this thing rolling,” said Minter after the Ravens took sole possession of first place in the AFC North.

After Michael Penix Jr. suffered a rib injury late in the fourth quarter, Tua Tagovailoa took over at quarterback for the Falcons (2-3) in overtime. Tagovailoa's pass for Drake London was intercepted by Hamilton to end the game.

“We didn't do enough to win the game,” Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski said.

Huntley completed 24 of 32 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns as the fill-in starter for Lamar Jackson, who has an ankle injury and cheered from the sideline in street clothes.

Penix overcame a slow start to pass for 240 yards and a touchdown but could only watch from the bench with a towel on his head as the Ravens put the game away.

Jessie Bates III returned a recovered fumble 36 yards for a score for Atlanta in the first quarter.

Bijan Robinson ran for 86 yards, but Penix's 5-yard scoring pass to Kyle Pitts was Atlanta's only offensive touchdown.

With Baltimore trailing 23-15, Huntley threw a 7-yard scoring pass to Devontez Walker with 40 seconds remaining in regulation and Henry took the direct snap and ran left for the tying conversion. Huntley targeted Falcons backup cornerback Mike Ford for the touchdown pass a play after Mike Hughes left the game with an injury.

After Huntley's third-down pass to tight end Mark Andrews was broken up by a big hit from Falcons safety Xavier Watts with 6:28 remaining, the Ravens were forced to punt.

Hometown hero

Hamilton grew up in Atlanta and attended Marist School. There was a strong showing from Ravens fans at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and many were there to cheer for Hamilton.

“I probably know 500 people or something in the stadium right now,” Hamilton said. “It was a pretty special moment.”

Sneaky Snoop

Huntley scored on a second-down run from the 1 to give Baltimore the lead late in regulation.

“I was just doing my job,” Huntley said. “Once you get in the end zone you give off an ”Ah!" and I was ready to get on the sideline and cheer our defense on."

Penix finds his form to help Falcons build first-half lead

Bates' return for a first-quarter touchdown gave Atlanta the early lead. Safety Sydney Brown forced the fumble by Andrews.

Penix was a combined 0-for-4 passing on Atlanta's first three possessions before finally reclaiming the form he showed while leading the Falcons to back-to-back wins. A screen pass to Pitts seemed to spark Penix, who was 5-for-5 on a touchdown drive that included a 25-yard completion to London and a 36-yard pass to Jahan Dotson to the Ravens 6.

Penix found Pitts again over the middle for a 5-yard touchdown pass.

The Ravens were more effective than the Falcons in moving the ball most of the first half but had to settle for Tyler Loop's field goals of 21, 51 and 51 yards as Atlanta led 14-9 at halftime.

Baltimore opened the second half with a drive built around a 47-yard run by Justice Hill. Huntley's 18-yard scoring pass to Henry cut the Falcons' lead to 17-15 when the 2-point pass to Andrews was incomplete.

Matthews almost gets a TD in 200th straight start

Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews almost added a touchdown to the celebration of his 200th consecutive start, the longest active streak in the NFL.

The son of Pro Football Hall of Fame lineman Bruce Matthews lined up as an eligible receiver on second down from the Baltimore 5-yard line in the third quarter.

Matthews slipped into the end zone and was wide open, and Penix lofted a pass that forced Matthews to jump. He touched the ball with both hands, but the pass was too high and fell incomplete.

Injuries

Ravens: Starting RG Andrew Vorhees (foot) was inactive after being listed as questionable. Emery Jones Jr. made his first career start. Rookie TE Matt Hibner left in the first half with a hand injury but returned in the third quarter. DLs Broderick Washington (ankle) and Travis Jones left in the fourth quarter.

Falcons: Penix predicted he will return next week from the rib injury. CB C.J. Henderson was listed as questionable with a groin injury in the third quarter. Matthews played after having been listed as questionable with a groin injury.

Up next

Ravens: At Cleveland next Sunday.

Falcons: Host Chicago next Sunday.

Looking for a breakthrough, the Brewers are off to a flying start in the NL Championship Series.

Turang homered off Tarik Skubal and four Milwaukee relievers shut down the Los Angeles Dodgers after Jacob Misiorowski’s taxing outing, sending the Brewers to a 2-1 victory in Game 1 on Sunday night.

Lara hit a tiebreaking single off Skubal in the fifth inning as Milwaukee jumped ahead in the first NLCS matchup of 100-win teams since the Cincinnati Reds eliminated the Philadelphia Phillies in 1976. Milwaukee had dropped seven consecutive postseason games against Los Angeles, including a sweep in last year's NLCS.

The Brewers are among five current teams that have never won it all.

“The dream for me is to win the World Series,” Lara said through an interpreter. “That will be the dream moment, is we’re able to complete that. Obviously very happy that I was able to come through and come through for my teammates.”

Game 2 is on Monday in Milwaukee. Yoshinobu Yamamoto starts for the Dodgers, and Logan Henderson takes the mound for the Brewers.

Los Angeles, looking to become the first team to win three straight championships since the 1998-2000 New York Yankees, grounded into three double plays, stranded nine runners and went 1 for 6 with runners in scoring position, dropping to 2 for 22 in the playoffs.

“You can’t go into a long series against a team that has the best record in baseball and expect to just win four,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “It’s going to be a long series. We knew it coming in.”

Los Angeles chased Misiorowski, the favorite for the NL Cy Young Award, in the fifth inning, but managed just two hits against a Milwaukee bullpen that has allowed one earned run in 23 2/3 postseason innings.

“Those guys are grinding out there,” Misiorowski said. “Every day being able to put up zeros, that’s the game. That’s the goal. It’s amazing what they’re doing and the work they’re putting in.”

DL Hall replaced Misiorowski with a runner aboard and got Freddie Freeman to ground into a double play, sending a charge through the rollicking crowd of 42,617. Abner Uribe allowed two hits in the sixth, then struck out Andy Pages with runners at the corners for the final out of the inning.

Aaron Ashby pitched two innings, and Trevor Megill got three outs for the save. Kyle Tucker and pinch-hitter Josue De Paula walked with two down in the ninth before Mookie Betts flied to the warning track in center.

“Miz and their ’pen are about the same," Freeman said. "That’s a great pitching staff. That’s two great pitching staffs. Two great teams going at it. It’s kind of what we envisioned.”

Los Angeles made Misiorowski throw 35 pitches in the second. Pages drove in Shohei Ohtani on a grounded single into right field, and Tucker loaded the bases when he reached on a 10-pitch walk that included four foul balls.

But Misiorowski limited the damage when he got Kiké Hernández to bounce into an inning-ending double play.

“You didn’t see 105 (mph), whatever, but whenever he got in a jam, he got better,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. “His stuff wasn’t great, no, it wasn’t, but it’s still pretty darn good.”

Turang responded with a leadoff drive into the home bullpen in left-center in the fourth, going the other way on a 95.5 mph sinker inside. It was the second career postseason homer for Turang, who went 1 for 15 with six strikeouts in last year's NLCS.

“I didn’t want to foul a ball off my knee again, so I was like I’m going to stay inside of this one,” Turang said. "Not try to do too much, just drive back up the middle and get inside of it.

Sticking with the same brand of baseball that resulted in the majors' best record this year, Milwaukee went ahead to stay in the fifth. The Brewers have come from behind in three of their four postseason wins.

Garrett Mitchell reached on a leadoff walk and advanced on rookie Cooper Pratt's sacrifice bunt. Lara, another rookie, then grounded an RBI single into center field. The Brewers loaded the bases with two down, but Skubal escaped the jam when William Contreras flied to right.

“A leadoff walk just can’t happen," Skubal said. “A leadoff walk in that inning, then you give them the ability to bunt the ball over and then all they need is a base hit, and they got it.”

Up next

Yamamoto is 8-1 with a 2.14 ERA in 11 postseason appearances. The Japanese right-hander pitched a three-hitter in a 5-1 victory at Milwaukee in Game 2 of last year's NLCS.

Henderson is making his second career postseason start. The right-hander tossed five-plus innings of two-run ball in Milwaukee's 4-3 win over San Diego in Game 2 of their NL Division Series. He went 2-0 with a 0.75 ERA in two starts against Los Angeles this season.

Martinook did to Forester what the Stanley Cup champion Hurricanes and the rest of the NHL have done to the Flyers.

Used him as a punching bag.

Bam! One shot to the left side of Foerster's face. Wham! A second shot to the left side of Foerster's face.

Foerster had little fight and neither did the Flyers.

The Hurricanes scored only moments later — oh, there was no penalty called on the blows to the head — and went on Sunday night to beat the Flyers 4-1.

The winless Flyers.

After teasing Flyers fans last season that perhaps a rebuild was yielding a promising future after they won their first playoff series since 2020, coach Rick Tocchet's team is 0-5-2 and the only winless team in the Eastern Conference.

In the waning moments of the loss, pockets of fans that stuck around for another anemic loss chanted “Fire Tocchet! Fire Tocchet!” The rest, they simply booed the team off the ice.

“I think we go off the rails at certain points of the game,” Tocchet said. “I don't know if it's experience, pressure, I don't know.”

The Flyers weren't quite ready this season — especially after Anaheim matched Philadelphia's five-year, $90 million offer sheet to Leo Carlsson — to move into the Stanely Cup conversation.

But play this poorly?

Flyers general manager told reporters over the weekend in Boston that “it's not the time to panic because of a bad stretch.”

It's getting close.

The Flyers were crushed by Pittsburgh 7-0 on opening night and have been outscored 28-8 this season en route to the worst start in franchise history. The Flyers had twice before in 1999-00 and 2008-09 gone six straight winless games to open a season. Both of those teams rebounded to make the playoffs.

Since taking a 3-0 series lead in the opening round of the playoffs against Pittsburgh, the Flyers have lost 13 of 14 games — including a 4-0 sweep in the second round to the Hurricanes.

The Hurricanes' social media team even rubbed it in the Flyers' faces with a post Sunday night that read, “We've won more games in Philly in the last nine days than the Flyers, Eagles, and Phillies combined this month.”

“There's still a lot of hockey left,” Flyers captain Sean Couturier said. “Of course, if we don't figure this out soon, we'll be chasing and it's going to be too late. But yeah, there's no quitting.”

The Flyers are playing undermanned with forward Travis Konecny, defenseman Cam York, and defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen out with injuries. Even with all three healthy, the Flyers aren't suddenly going to turn the season around.

“We can't skill our way out of this one,” Couturier said. “We have a lot of talent, but we can't skill ourselves out of it. We're going to have to work and grind and it starts the next practice. We better figure it out.”

The Flyers signed forward Trevor Zegras to a four-year, $36.5 million extension after he had a career-high 26 goals and 67 points last season, the second-most on the team. He's been perhaps the biggest disappointment this season with just two points and no goals.

“What happened last year was pretty cool, and maybe you feel like it’s just going to keep happening, and you’ve made it,” Briere said in Boston. “But the reality is we’re a team that needs to have everybody working in the same direction. The way we’re built, the full team is important to have everybody. We don’t have a superstar that’s going to come out and score four or five goals in a game to win a game by himself."

Something has to change, and fast. The effort, the execution, the power play — maybe even the coach if Tocchet can't find the solutions.

Zegras said Sunday night the Flyers were “fully behind” Tocchet, who played parts of 11 seasons across two stints with the franchise and became one of their most beloved and gritty figures. That goodwill could be diminished as the losses pile up and the Flyers show little spirit in the blowout losses.

They have four losses by three or more goals.

“You start thinking about the long term, then you're really going to be in trouble,” Tocchet said. “You've got to try to win. How you win the next game.”

The crash was reported shortly before 12:30 p.m. near NW 21st Avenue and NW 79th Street. The vehicle remained at the scene, and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded and determined the man was dead.

The sheriff’s office Traffic Homicide Unit is investigating the crash and working to determine what led to it.

The investigation is in its early stages. It is not yet known whether the driver will receive any citations or face charges.

Five seasons in, the club team is getting bigger, better and a whole lot more ambitious. Alex Meola and Anna Baurle are at the center of it.

As co-president, Meola saw what the program was missing.

“Being a competitive hockey player for a really long time, I saw what UM women’s hockey was missing in terms of media, recruitment. We just were not getting what we deserve,” Meola said.

Now, the challenge is turning that potential into a program that can compete.

“We’re hungry. We wanna play for fun, obviously, but the best thing that comes with it is that these girls want to play competitively as well,” Baurle said.

The team moved up to ACHA Division Two last season, bringing tougher opponents and a bigger challenge.

“When we made the jump, it was a little bit of an eye-opener. We were still going to be competing with a lot of the same schools, but we started to realize we were going to have more eyes on us,” Baurle said.

Meola said the move also pushed the team to take things more seriously.

“I think it made us realize as a program we want to take it a little more seriously and take it to the next level,” she said.

But at the club level, there will always be a range of experience. Some players have competed in high school, junior and club hockey, while others are still learning the equipment and developing their skating skills.

“It’s a spectrum,” Meola said. “We have a couple girls who literally just joined the program last year and we wouldn’t have a team if they weren’t here, and then we have girls who have been playing their whole life.”

And unlike an NCAA program, much of the work behind the scenes falls on the students themselves.

Funding, ice time, travel, recruiting and the time it takes to keep a club program moving all present challenges.

“It has been really, really difficult. However, our girls really are eager,” Baurle said.

In 2026, the team is incorporating player dues, which she said helps show players where the money is going.

Meola said building the program also requires support from people who care about hockey and have the financial means to help.

“It takes a really big village. It takes people who care about hockey. We can’t raise money from nothing,” Meola said. “It takes people who have revenue and have the financial freedom and are passionate about us, but that starts with us being able to share our story.”

One of the biggest ways the team is doing that is getting Miami hockey in front of more people.

The team has built a media team and expanded its social media presence, gaining thousands of new followers on Instagram. Parents of young players have also started reaching out.

“We’ve had multiple dads and moms reach out to us on Instagram saying, ‘Can I get a practice jersey?’” Meola said.

That attention matters because the program is bigger than the players on the ice today.

Baurle credited Justina Holland, who started the program in 2021, with laying the foundation for what the team is becoming.

“If Justina didn’t tie those shoes and wear those skates and put them on this program, I don’t know if we would’ve ever really taken the time to become something,” Baurle said.

Now, five seasons later, Meola and Baurle are trying to take what they inherited to new heights.

“I really have a vision for this program, five, six years being an NCAA program and me still being a part of that,” Meola said. “I literally get the chills when I talk about it.”

That’s the long-term dream. For now, the focus is on making Miami women’s hockey strong enough to keep growing.

Baurle said the time and effort the team puts in now could help build something lasting for future players.

“We definitely probably [put in] full-time, 40 hours a week,” she said. “Those hours I know are gonna go towards something bigger than myself. Girls that come after me are gonna have a really great program on its feet.”

Jang Do-young, spokesperson of South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, said missiles of various types were fired from an area around the North Korean capital of Pyongyang, where the country’s main airport has been a major launch site in recent years.

Jang said one of the missiles flew more than 900 kilometers (559 miles) before falling into the sea but didn’t comment on the flight details of the other weapons. The joint chiefs didn’t specify how many missiles it detected.

Japan’s Deputy Defense Minister Takashi Koyari said Japan detected at least two missiles launched 17 minutes apart and that the weapons landed in waters outside of its exclusive economic zone. Koyari said the first missile flew about 220 kilometers (137 miles) and the second more than 910 kilometers (565 miles), following an “irregular” flight path, a term Japanese officials have previously used to describe hypersonic weapons. There were no reports of damage to aircraft or vessels, he said.

While maintaining a hard line toward Seoul, North Korea has been ramping up weapons testing as it seeks to expand its arsenal of nuclear-capable systems, including an Oct. 3 test of what the North described as a hypersonic intermediate-range missile designed to evade missile defenses in South Korea and Japan.

North Korea has also conducted other missile tests and live-fire drills and commissioned a new warship as leader Kim Jong Un continues to flaunt his nuclear weapons program while rejecting U.S. and South Korean offers to resume long-stalled diplomacy.

The latest launch came days after South Korea on Friday flight-tested its own domestically developed hypersonic weapon, designed to fly at least five times the speed of sound and evade missile defense systems, which President Lee Jae Myung described as critical in strengthening the South’s conventional defense capabilities. Without directly addressing the growing threat from North Korea, Lee’s office said the hypersonic weapon, once fully developed, would enhance South Korea’s ability to strike key targets by surprise in the “Korean Peninsula theater of operations.”

Jang, the South Korean military official, said the latest North Korean launches likely were intended to advance the country’s missile technologies while also serving as a possible response to South Korea’s hypersonic test.

The South’s presidential national security office called for North Korea to “immediately cease” its repeated ballistic launches, which violate U.N. Security Council resolutions against the North and “do not help manage the current situation on the Korean Peninsula.” Koyari said Japan lodged a protest to North Korea through their embassies in Beijing.

Tensions were further worsened after three South Korean soldiers were injured in land mine explosions last month near the heavily armed inter-Korean border. The South’s military and the U.S.-led United Nations Command concluded the blasts were caused by devices planted by North Korea, which has denied responsibility and ridiculed the South’s demands for an apology.

Kim in recent years has halted all diplomacy and cooperation with South Korea and described the neighbor as a permanent enemy during a prolonged stalemate in larger nuclear negotiations with Washington. He has so far rebuffed U.S. President Donald Trump’s calls to revive their diplomacy, which broke down in 2019, with his government demanding that Washington abandon its “hostile” policy toward Pyongyang and drop demands for North Korea’s denuclearization as a precondition for talks.

U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Rochon in New York sided with a coalition, including the nonpartisan watchdog Common Cause, that challenged the ads as an illegal misuse of funds. She told the administration to cancel any remaining ads, including any set to air Sunday night, in granting a temporary restraining order.

“Defendants shall not enter into, renew, or expand any agreement authorizing the development, creation, dissemination, placement, or airing of the challenged advertisements” during the two-week duration of her order, the judge said.

Asked for comment, the White House referred to an Oct. 5 social media post from Trump in which he defended the taxpayer-funded ads as “rather standard” but, amid backlash, said he would pay for them from his political fundraising. In a court filing late Saturday, the Justice Department argued that the temporary restraining order was unnecessary because “the alleged offending conduct will end tomorrow.”

The Department of Homeland Security tapped $20 million in taxpayer money for the ads. Legal experts have suggested that violated a federal statute against congressionally appropriated money being used for “publicity or propaganda” and potentially other laws.

“We are pleased the court acted swiftly to prevent more taxpayer dollars from being used for such blatantly unlawful political propaganda,” the plaintiffs said in a statement issued by Democracy Forward, the nonprofit legal organization that represents them. “There is no legal justification — and no precedent — for the president to use the machinery of the government and funds set aside by Congress for other uses to influence electoral outcomes that further his own agenda.”

In a court declaration Saturday, senior DHS official Holly Mehringer wrote that the money came from funds appropriated by Congress that are “available for, among other things, ‘commemorating efforts and events related to border security.’”

The White House has defended the ads as public service announcements akin to what past administrations have done to promote various policies. But the recent ads differ from many past public service announcements because they aren’t aimed at helping members of the public benefit from specific government programs.

The ads, which began airing in late September, glorify Trump and echo his political messaging going into the midterms. One features a clip of Trump talking about the threat of communism and another is a replay of an ad from his last presidential campaign. The fifth ad in the campaign began airing Tuesday, focusing on the Trump administration’s capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.

The use of public funds to pay for the ads drew heavy criticism — including from some in the GOP.

"It shouldn’t be paid for with taxpayer dollars,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters.

The Democratic National Committee has separately sued the Republican administration over the ads.

Amid the backlash, Trump said he would start paying for the ads with a campaign account. A White House official said there were no immediate plans to reimburse the government for money already spent.

After Evan Stewart’s 44-yard scoring catch from Brock Thomas pulled the Ducks within 17-15 with 2:16 left, UCLA was flagged for a facemask penalty on Oregon’s 2-point conversion try.

Officials spotted the ball 1 1/2 yards from the goal line and UCLA’s defense smothered rusher Jordon Davison to thwart the Ducks' second chance.

The Big Ten said that officials erred in spotting the ball half the distance from the line of scrimmage. Instead, the ball should have been a half-yard from the goal line.

“Per rule, the ball should have been spotted half-the-distance to the goal from the end of the run of the first attempt,” the Big Ten's statement said.

The Ducks had one final drive with less than a minute left but a lost fumble — one of seven Oregon turnovers in the game. With the 17-15 loss, the Ducks (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten) dropped out of the AP Top 25.

“The Big Ten has been in contact with its officiating team from Saturday’s game regarding the error and will continue to emphasize consistent application of the playing rules,” the conference statement said.

Purdy found Evans repeatedly on the go-ahead touchdown drive and then led the Niners down the field again for a 43-yard field goal by Eddy Pineiro with 1:56 to play that gave San Francisco a 32-29 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday in a playoff rematch.

The win for the 49ers (5-0) offered a small bit of payback for their two late-season losses to Seattle (3-2) last season, including a 41-6 defeat in the divisional round of the playoffs with a short-handed roster.

San Francisco was healthier on defense for the first meeting this season, and also had Evans after signing him in March. That was a big reason why Purdy was able to deliver late for the undefeated Niners.

“He's a game changer,” Purdy said. “True X receiver that if you get the right look and stuff and you give him a chance, he can make defenses pay. I thought today he did a great job with that, going up and getting the ball multiple times and just using his length and everything to create some separation. So as a quarterback, any time I have an (opportunity) to go to him, it always feels good.”

The game featured an NFL season-high seven combined turnovers, an ejection of 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw and no touchdown drives of more than 25 yards before San Francisco took over trailing 26-21 late in the third quarter.

“That’s what we expected, honestly,” Niners linebacker Fred Warner said. “It was going to be a heavyweight bout. Seattle, they’re the guys who won it all last year and they’re ones that you have to go through.”

Purdy and Evans responded with an impressive drive against the vaunted Seahawks defense, connecting four times for 75 yards with the biggest play coming on a 28-yard pass to Evans after an intentional grounding penalty left the Niners in a precarious second-and-21 situation.

“I do feel like I’m one of the best receivers in the game,” Evans said. “I got a big frame, so if you throw it around me, I’m going to do my best to try to make those contested grabs.”

That helped set up Purdy's 7-yard touchdown pass to newcomer Brandin Cooks, and San Francisco took a 29-26 lead following a 2-point conversion to Evans.

Sam Darnold responded by leading Seattle on a game-tying field goal drive before Purdy and the 49ers moved the ball 43 yards for Pineiro's go-ahead kick.

The Seahawks had one last chance, but Jaxon Smith-Njigba dropped a third-down pass from the 50 at the San Francisco 25, and Cooper Kupp was stopped 1 yard short of the first down by Malik Mustapha on fourth down.

“We had an opportunity to go down there and win the game,” Smith-Njigba said. “I have to reel those ones in. I know that.”

Purdy finished 19 of 29 for 189 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, with almost all of his production coming in the fourth quarter.

“That’s one of the best defenses in the league,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “There were some ups and downs, by no means was everything perfect. But I thought he was really good in the fourth quarter.”

The 49ers failed to score a touchdown in their final two games against Seattle last season. They got into the end zone three times in the first half to take a 21-13 lead but it was the defense that did much of the work.

They scored on drives of 11 yards and 18 yards after turnovers by Seattle and extended the lead to 21-13 when the Seahawks' decision to use timeouts on defense to get the ball back late in the half backfired. The Seahawks took over on their 4 with 18 seconds left and San Francisco holding three timeouts. Gracen Halton then stripped George Halani on the first play and recovered the fumble in the end zone for a touchdown.

“We want to stay aggressive,” coach Mike Macdonald said. “We got to be able to execute our run game and hold onto the football.”

The Seahawks took advantage of turnovers by San Francisco to take the lead in the second half. They turned an interception by Nehemiah Pritchett into a 23-yard drive capped by Darnold's 16-yard pass to Smith-Njigba for a 23-21 lead. Deebo Samuel then lost a fumble on the next possession to set up another field goal to make it a five-point game.

Greenlaw ejected for 49ers

Greenlaw was ejected after head-butting Seattle’s Ernest Jones IV after he delivered a late hit on the Seahawks sideline. The infraction came in the second quarter when Darnold scrambled and was hit late by Greenlaw after going out of bounds. Greenlaw was flagged for a personal foul.

Several Seahawks defenders immediately confronted Greenlaw after the hit and Greenlaw responded by head-butting Jones, who wasn’t wearing a helmet. Jones was bleeding after the hit and Greenlaw was ejected. Greenlaw has been ejected at least two other times in his career.

The Bolts blew a seven-point lead in the fourth quarter, when the Denver Broncos scored the final 13 points, including a tiebreaking 19-yard field goal from Wil Lutz with 5:07 remaining, in a 23-17 win Sunday.

Los Angeles quarterback Justin Herbert failed to pick up a first down on a crucial fourth-and-1 try early in the fourth, and the Broncos capitalized by tying the score at 17-all and dominating the rest of the way.

“It was the wrong decision,” Harbaugh said after the Chargers dropped to 0-5 for the first time since 2003. “Can’t think of a time where I’ve ever been more mad at myself.”

The failed fourth-down conversion sent the Chargers spiraling, with Herbert’s fumble and interception leaving them one of three winless teams in the league. He tied his career record with a turnover in five consecutive games.

“When I saw them gap down, I felt like I should call timeout out there and punt the ball,” Harbaugh said. “Right now, the only thing I can think of is that I screwed that up.”

Lutz’s go-ahead kick came with 5:07 remaining, and his 36-yarder with 1:08 left extended the lead for the Broncos (3-2), who had plenty of orange-clad fans in the stands cheering their first win at SoFi Stadium since 2023.

Denver earned its first division win coach Sean Payton calling the plays. He took those duties away from offensive coordinator Davis Webb earlier in the week. The Broncos won without injured cornerbacks Pat Surtain II (ankle) and Riley Moss (ribs).

“There were some things that were good,” Payton said, “and then specifically staying on the field and just converting four or five more third downs. You know, just I’ve got to be a little bit better, too.”

Denver quarterback Bo Nix called the play calling switch “smooth,” adding, “It was a collaboration.”

The Chargers came in with a decimated offensive line that featured four rookies trying to protect Herbert, who was 14 of 24 for 121 yards passing with a touchdown and an interception while getting sacked five times.

The stuffed run on fourth-and-1 might have been bigger than all the sacks.

“Got to find a way to get a yard and I didn’t do that,” a curt Herbert said. “It’s on me to go get a yard. I have complete faith in our guys and myself, and it’s on us to go get a yard and convert.”

Jake Slaughter, one of the four rookie linemen, said, “We’re just going to keep swinging.”

Courtland Sutton caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Nix, tying the score at 17 midway through the fourth. The Broncos got the ball back after stopping Herbert short, and the Chargers sputtered the rest of the way.

The ensuing LA drive fell apart when Herbert got sacked for an 8-yard loss at his 24-yard line by Zach Allen, who forced a fumble that was recovered by Que Robinson.

After Lutz’s go-ahead field goal, Herbert fumbled but recovered, then scrambled up the middle for a 12-yard gain before getting intercepted by Brandon Jones on fourth down.

The Chargers took a 17-10 lead late in the third quarter on Kimani Vidal’s 42-yard TD run the first play after Tuli Tuipulotu forced and recovered a fumble when Nix tried to scramble.

Nix was 16 of 27 for 123 yards and a TD.

The Chargers tied the game 10-all on Hayden Rucci’s first career TD, a 7-yard pass from Herbert in the third. Playing his 100th career game, Herbert set up the score with a quarterback sweep. With Charlie Kolar blocking, Herbert ran 23 yards to the Denver 7 for the first down.

The Broncos took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter after Kolar’s first career fumble. After a face mask penalty by the Chargers, J.K. Dobbins scored a 2-yard TD — his first rushing score of the season.

The Chargers cut the lead to 7-3 on Cameron Dicker’s 42-yard field goal in the second quarter.

Lutz’s 42-yard field goal gave Denver a 10-3 lead on its next possession, when Harbaugh twice unsuccessfully challenged calls, making him 16 of 45 on challenges in his NFL career.

2 minutes remaining, the Giants are seemingly in control

It was first-and-10 from the Washington 24. Since it was the third possession of overtime, this was a sudden-death situation. The Giants could have kicked a field goal right then, but Dominic Zvada had already missed from 50, 57 and 46 yards — and New York coach John Harbaugh's tenure in Baltimore ended last season on a missed field goal from 44 yards.

“That field goal is very makeable, but it's not a gimme,” Harbaugh said. “I've had some experience with that.”

So the plan was to try to advance a little bit closer while also running more time off the clock. The Commanders were out of timeouts — remember that for later — and the Giants could have run so much time off that even if Zvada missed again, Washington would have had no chance to drive the other way and the game would end in a tie.

“That's the strategy we'll probably do next time, too,” Harbaugh said.

Skattebo fumbles, giving Washington a lifeline

The Giants could have run the clock down by simply taking a knee a couple of times. Instead, Cam Skattebo took a handoff and was met behind the line of scrimmage. Washington's Daron Payne knocked the ball loose and Shy Tuttle recovered for the Commanders.

“There's 11 guys on the other team just screaming at you,” Skattebo said. “Telling you you messed up, it's your fault, you sold the game, everything. You get that.”

55 seconds left, Washington in field goal range

Two passes and a run had the Commanders across midfield. Then Jayden Daniels threw a pass to Treylon Burks, who went out of bounds with 55 seconds left. It was now first-and-10 from the New York 26. Washington was in the same position the Giants had just squandered — with a chance to run the clock down and try a field goal for the win on the final play.

“Defense did a great job of getting a stop and forcing the turnover,” Daniels said. “At that point, it was like, OK, we got to go win this football game.”

Rachaad White ran the ball 2 yards to the New York 24 — and the clock started ticking.

27 seconds left, the Commanders are in no rush

Once the clock was under 40 seconds, Washington could have taken a knee, let the time run all the way down and then had Daniels spike the ball with under 5 seconds remaining. Instead, the Commanders went into a huddle, and with 27 seconds to go they were still in it.

The plan was apparently to throw the ball — to someone who could easily get out of bounds. If need be, Daniels could always toss the ball away for a clock-stopping incompletion.

“It’s an outside throw or a clock — an out-of-bounds throw, or a clock,” coach Dan Quinn said.

13 seconds left, Washington finally snaps the ball

The Commanders broke the huddle and Daniels lined up under center. Someone even went in motion. By the time the play began, the Commanders could not risk having someone tackled in bounds, because the clock could run out.

“We have to stop the clock. We have to know the situation,” Daniels said. “We have to relay that as an offense. It starts with everyone, top down. Ultimately, it's on me.”

8 seconds left, Daniels is tackled

After the snap, Daniels rolled to his left and Ben Sinnott ran a route toward the sideline. Instead of throwing, Daniels turned inside and was tackled. It's still not clear if he knew Washington was out of timeouts.

“We just got to communicate that,” he said. “That's the whole thing. As I said, it starts with me communicating to the whole offense in the huddle, and I think everyone will say that top down.”

3 seconds left, Commanders in chaos

Washington's fate might have been sealed the moment Daniels was tackled, but the clock would still have stopped if the Commanders could have lined up legally and had the quarterback spike the ball before it expired. It's hard to say how many players realized exactly what the situation was.

Daniels stayed down for a couple seconds, looking around. Tackle Josh Conerly Jr. started making a bit of a spiking motion with his hand as if to tell Daniels what was needed. Sinnett headed back toward the line of scrimmage with nowhere near enough urgency. New York edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux stood with his hands on his hips.

Tight end John Bates lined up out wide to the far side, motioning to hurry up.

“The right call is honestly like we can go clock it early and don't put ourselves in that spot,” Quinn said. “That is my responsibility.”

No time left: Giants 27, Commanders 27

The clock ran out. Defensive lineman Shelby Harris started waving both arms to indicate the game should be over. Cornerback Deonte Banks leaped in the air, ran across the line of scrimmage, then leaped again in celebration. Quinn ripped off his headset and threw it to the ground.

A tie snatched first from the jaws of victory and then from the jaws of defeat.

“I wanted to get off the field before they could take it away from us, I guess,” Harbaugh said. “I was surprised. I can't say that I wasn't. It was a pretty shocking end there.”

And for Skattebo, relief.

“I probably won't get reamed as much,” he said. “But I'm still going to get reamed.”

Are you ready for a reprieve from the high humidity? A cold front is on the move and set to arrive early Tuesday. Showers will clear, and drier air will take over. Expect a comfortable fall feel across South Florida Tuesday and Wednesday, with highs near normal in the upper 80s. Enjoy the drop in humidity while it lasts. Dew points are set to creep up by the end of the week.

Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sonia Friedman Productions announced Sunday that the Oscar-winning filmmaker’s first stage play, “The Popinjay Cavalier,” will open in London’s West End in March.

It’s set in 1830s Europe, and the producers call it “a rambunctious comedy of deception and disguise inspired by the grand swashbuckling epics of stage and screen.”

The play will be directed by Tarantino and marks the West End debut of Baron Cohen, creator of comic characters Borat and Ali G.

“When the best director in the world calls, you don’t ask questions,” Baron Cohen said.

“The Popinjay Cavalier” begins previews Feb. 23 and opens March 18 at London’s Phoenix Theatre.

Tarantino, best known for films including “Reservoir Dogs,” “Pulp Fiction” and “Inglourious Basterds,” hasn’t directed a feature film since “Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood,” which came out in 2019.

He wrote the screenplay for a sequel, “The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth,” due for release in November. David Fincher is directing, with Brad Pitt returning in the title role of a former Hollywood stuntman.

Tarantino wrote a novelization of “Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood” as well as one for the new film, which will be published Dec. 8 by Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins.

Briscoe held off Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Christopher Bell to win his second straight NASCAR playoff race in a photo finish on Sunday at Charlotte Motor Speedway, vaulting him into contention to earn his first Cup Series championship.

The .029-second margin of victory was the second closest since CMS opened in 1960, ranking behind only Jimmie Johnson's .027-second win over Bobby Labonte in 2005.

The two drivers traded paint on the final lap, but Briscoe maintained control of his No. 19 Toyota and reached the finish line about a half-car length ahead of Bell.

“I don’t know what it is about these finishes. I have to quit making it so exciting at the end,” said Briscoe, who had to hold off playoff points leader Kyle Larson to win last week at Las Vegas.

It was the eighth win of Briscoe's career and third this season. He led 62 laps.

Briscoe said he felt like his right front tire was going down on the final laps, but was able to hold it together.

“When I got beyond those final lapped cars with five or six (laps) to go, I felt like I was going to knock the wall down,” Briscoe said. “At one point it just quit turning.”

Ryan Blaney finished third, followed by Josh Berry, Denny Hamlin and Larson.

Briscoe was 123 points behind Larson prior to last week's win, but the back-to-back victories have cut the deficit to 65 points and put him in fourth place with four races left.

Gibbs said he was just happy his drivers didn’t wreck each other.

“That’s always when I’m the most nervous, when a couple of our guys are running up front,” Gibbs said. “I know how badly all of our guys want to win. ... That's when my blood pressure and heartbeat gets accelerated.”

Hamlin is now 49 points behind Larson in the Chase, followed by Bell, who is 51 points back.

Larson called it a “good, solid day” and was happy to extend his playoff lead by nine points.

Hamlin can't seem to find momentum in playoffs

Hamlin won the regular season championship, but has struggled to find victory lane in the playoffs. He seemed perplexed why he hasn’t been able to regain the speed he had before the postseason.

“We got to execute better, be a little faster — all of the above,” Hamlin said. “We’re giving it all we got right now.”

It didn't help that Hamlin was sent to the rear of the field for a loose tire penalty on pit road on his first stop.

Larson starts on the pole, dominates early

Larson, who entered the race with five top five finishes including two wins in the postseason, started on the pole based on NASCAR's metric system after Saturday's qualifying was rained out.

He made the most of the pole position, dominating the race early by leading 68 of the 80 laps in the first stage to collect the maximum number of points in stage one.

Bell caught Larson and won the second stage.

Tough start for playoff contenders in first 50 laps

Several Chase contenders ran into problems in the first stage.

Ty Gibbs broke a toe link in his No. 54 Toyota causing him to hit the outside wall. Joey Logano, with nowhere to go, slammed into Gibbs from behind. Gibbs headed behind the wall for repairs and fell several laps behind, while Logano was sent to the back of the field.

And, near the end of the first stage, Alex Bowman's car got loose and ran up the track and into Bubba Wallace's car, collecting William Byron in the mix. Wallace climbed out of his car, but was taken to the infield medical center in an ambulance.

The crash sent all three cars behind the wall.

“I just got loose," Bowman said. “Honestly, I had been really tight. As soon as it got to the exit of the corner, it snapped and it kind of didn’t stand a chance. Unfortunately, I grabbed too much wheel, overcorrected it and got in those two guys’ (Wallace and Byron) way. I hate that for the No. 24 and No. 23 teams. It’s one thing to get loose and crash, but to ruin their days too really sucks.”

NASCAR, CMS say goodbye to the “roval,” welcome back oval racing

After eight years, CMS and NASCAR said goodbye to the “roval,” changing the fall race from a road course back to the traditional 1 1/2-mile oval course. That came as NASCAR shifted away from road courses and placed more emphasis on intermediate oval tracks before the season.

Drivers seemed to be in favor of the change.

“I appreciate the roval for what it was, and I’ve enjoyed the handful of years that we did it to start," Chris Buescher said. "Charlotte has so much character. It’s put on some really good races and I think that was the big push to get us back on the oval.”

“I think that was a front for him,” Julius Windham said as he stood at a memorial to victims of Friday’s shooting, including his 1-year-old daughter Amarianna, her pregnant mother and the woman’s 5-year-old son and unborn baby.

“Him every day, him smiling and being just — you would think of nothing like that would happen,” Windham said.

The 45-year-old gunman took his own life. Authorities have not released his name, but Erie Police Chief Rick Lorah said he was related to seven of the victims. The eighth was a friend of the pregnant woman, he said. Police have not made their names public, either.

Those killed include 2 women outside the home

Mourners on Sunday placed candles, flowers and stuffed animals outside the home where the man opened fire shortly before 5 p.m. Friday. Windham wore a T-shirt with pictures of the women and children and the words, “Forever In My Heart.”

“Words can’t even explain what I’m going through right now,” Windham said. “But I gotta be strong for my community, you know what I'm saying? My family, my daughters, my sons, everybody.”

Video and audio evidence recovered by investigators included muffled gunshot sounds coming from inside the home just before two “distressed” women arrived and began pounding on the door, Lorah said. The gunman then came out and shot them as they ran toward him, before returning inside.

Responding officers found the two women dead outside. After deploying a drone and robot, they went inside and found the bodies of the 5-year-old boy and 1-year-old girl on the first floor; two more women and two young men in a stairwell; and the shooter on the second floor.

“Out of respect for the victims and the families, I will not discuss the details of what our officers encountered inside that home,” the chief said at a news conference.

“But I want our community to understand the gravity of what happened and the profound impact this tragedy has had on those involved and on our community as a whole,” he said.

Police decline to discuss motive as investigation continues

Erie is about 120 miles (190 kilometers) north of Pittsburgh.

Lorah declined to discuss motive but suggested mental health could be a factor. He said investigators would talk to relatives and examine the cellphones of the women who were killed outside the home.

“They knew something was going on at that house,” Lorah said. “We have to figure out what that is.”

Nicole and Debra Eller, whose best friend was among the victims, said they've known the family for more than 30 years. Nicole Eller said the shooter “was a good guy, and then he started going downhill with everything.”

“They were a lovely family. Who would have thought this would ever happen?” Debra Eller said. “Oh my gosh, this is so upsetting. This should have never happened to her or the kids or anybody. His grandchildren, his kids, how can you do that?”

The Erie shooting was reminiscent of a 1982 massacre in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, in which a man killed 13 people, including five of his own children.

At a news conference on Saturday, Erie Mayor Daria Devlin addressed a portion of her remarks directly to the victims’ families.

“I am so deeply sorry,” Devlin said. “What happened to you was horrific, and there is nothing that any of us can say today that will make this any easier. ... Our entire community is with you, we’re grieving with you. And we are here to support you.”

BSO detectives reported that Manuel Antonio Farfán Cabello stabbed his mother, Ylda Lucia Cabello Ynocente, several times on Friday night, according to BSO.

Fire rescue personnel declared Cabello Ynocente dead at about 7:45 p.m. on Friday at the two-bedroom home she had shared with Farfán Cabello in Tamarac, according to BSO.

A Facebook account showed photos and videos of Cabello Ynocente and Farfán Cabello sharing a love of soccer. She identified as a native of Huancayo, Peru, who had studied accounting at the public university there.

Neighbors said videos show Farfán Cabello running from house to house asking for money on Friday.

Deputies arrested Farfán Cabello on Friday night at 5301 NW 28 Ave., and corrections booked him at the Broward County Main Jail in Fort Lauderdale, where he remained on Saturday.

Farfán Cabello, who turns 29 on Oct. 16, faced a first-degree premeditated murder charge, according to Broward County court records.

He went before a Broward County judge on Sunday morning and was given no bond while being ordered to undergo a medical evaluation.

Broward County Circuit Judge George Odom was set to preside over the capital homicide case that prosecutors filed on Saturday.

Con la ayuda de un intérprete de español, Manuel Farfan Cabello, de 28 años, se presentó ante un juez para escuchar formalmente los cargos en su contra.

Finalmente, no se le concedió derecho a fianza y se ordenó que se sometiera a una evaluación de salud mental.

La Oficina del Sheriff de Broward informó que Cabello apuñaló varias veces a su madre, Ylda Cabello-Ynocente, el viernes por la noche.

Los equipos de emergencia la declararon muerta en el lugar.

Los agentes dijeron que fueron llamados a esta vivienda en Northwest 28th Avenue, en Tamarac, alrededor de las 7:45 p.m. del viernes.

Durante varias horas, desde la noche del viernes hasta el sábado, se pudo ver a los investigadores de la BSO recorriendo el área en busca de pruebas.

La investigación se extendió más allá de la casa, hasta el otro lado de la calle, y en un momento dado, un equipo de buzos ingresó a un lago cercano para continuar la búsqueda de pruebas.

Varias horas antes del apuñalamiento mortal, vecinos dijeron a Local 10 News que Cabello iba de puerta en puerta pidiendo dinero.

“Quiero hacerle llegar al papa León XIV mi afecto y mis mejores deseos ante la intervención a la que será sometido”, expresó el mandatario. “Toda la Argentina acompaña con afecto y oración a su santidad, deseándole una pronta y completa recuperación”.

Milei también afirmó que el país sudamericano se une “en oración por su salud, con la esperanza de que pronto pueda continuar guiando a la Iglesia con la sabiduría y fortaleza que lo caracterizan”.

El papa León XIV anunció el domingo que en los próximos días se someterá a una cirugía para extirpar un nódulo en un pulmón, el primer gran episodio de salud en sus 17 meses de pontificado.

El pontífice de 71 años indicó que el nódulo se detectó en una etapa temprana y que estaba “circunscrito”. El Vaticano indicó que el tiempo de recuperación previsto tras la cirugía sería de una semana.

El papa estadounidense hizo el anuncio durante su bendición del mediodía del domingo. Dio las gracias a la multitud por su cercanía y se encomendó a sus oraciones.

El Vaticano no precisó cuándo se llevará a cabo la cirugía, más allá de que sería en los primeros días de esta semana. León tiene un próximo acto principal: la misa de clausura el miércoles de una conferencia de una semana sobre el ministerio familiar, pero funcionarios del Vaticano dejaron entrever que podría perdérsela.

Fujimori se suma a los buenos deseos para el pontífice

La presidenta de Perú Keiko Fujimori se sumó al deseo de pronta recuperación de León XIV y espera que el pontífice “pueda superar plena y exitosamente” sus circunstancias de salud.

“Nuestros corazones y nuestras oraciones lo acompañan, con el deseo de tenerlo pronto entre nosotros”, señaló la mandataria en la red social X.

La anticipada visita del papa a seis ciudades del Perú es especialmente significativa por su vínculo afectivo con el país en el que pasó décadas como misionero y responsable de su Iglesia, además de poseer la ciudadanía peruana.

The Texans also received a 2027 seventh-round draft pick in the deal, while the Cardinals added a 2027 second-round and sixth-round pick, according to a person familiar with the deal, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the full terms had not been announced.

The trade reunites Harrison with quarterback C.J. Stroud, who was his college teammate at Ohio State.

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans announced the trade after his team's 26-3 victory over the Titans. Houston (1-4) made the deal despite being three games back in the AFC South behind Jacksonville.

“We traded for Marvin Harrison,” Ryans said to close his news conference in Nashville. “See ya!”

Texans receiver Nico Collins celebrated the trade, which was more surprising for its timing than the actual transaction.

“That’s official? Is that official? That’s what’s up. That’s dope, man,” Collins said. “Glad he’s here. Another playmaker, another ability. Let’s get to work.”

Harrison — the No. 4 pick in 2024 — has had a disappointing two-plus seasons in Arizona. The 24-year-old was on the Cardinals' inactive list on Sunday as the team pursued a trade.

The 6-foot-3, 220-pound Harrison's production plummeted through the first four games this season, with just five catches for 85 yards and a touchdown. The Texans hope to figure out how to get the most out of the receiver, who was widely seen as a can't-miss prospect after a stellar college career with the Buckeyes.

Stroud said he talked to some people in the Texans organization about Harrison before the trade and had high praise for his former teammate.

“I think he brings a dynamic playmaker, somebody who runs great routes, can catch really any ball, and I’m just super excited to get with him,” Stroud said. “I loved him in college. He’s probably the hardest worker I’ve ever been around in my life. And then just who he is off the field, he’s a great dude, quiet guy, but definitely you feel his presence.”

The Texans certainly hope Harrison has more of a presence in their offense than he did in the desert.

First-year Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur and quarterback Jacoby Brissett have been supportive of Harrison despite his sparse usage, saying he was doing everything he can to be productive. But the emergence of Michael Wilson — who had his first 1,000-yard receiving season last year — and the presence of All-Pro tight end Trey McBride made Harrison an afterthought in LaFleur’s offense.

Harrison is the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, who was an eight-time Pro Bowl selection with the Indianapolis Colts.

He completed 68% of his passes, combined for 302 yards passing and rushing, and showcased his speed with two long touchdown runs. Most important, he stayed healthy.

But a gaffe in overtime, when Daniels took off on an ill-advised scramble in the closing seconds, cost Washington a chance at victory, ending Sunday's game against the New York Giants in a 27-27 tie. With 12 seconds left and the ball at the Giants 24, Washington called a pass play, but Daniels held onto the ball and went down for no gain.

Washington had no timeouts left and couldn't spike the ball before the clock hit zero, ending a mistake-filled final period with zero points by either team.

“The sequencing of that does not fall on (Daniels),” Commanders coach Dan Quinn said. “It's an outside throw or a clock — an out of bounds throw, or a clock. That has to come from me. I have to put him in that spot. I can do that earlier and we can finish the kick earlier. We don't need to gain more yards.”

The final play overshadowed Daniels' return from a dislocated left elbow. Daniels suffered the ugly-looking injury in a Week 2 loss to the Cowboys, the second time he has dislocated his non-throwing arm.

Wearing a brace on the arm, Daniels showed the playmaking ability he brought to the Commanders during his standout rookie season in 2024. He was 17 of 25 passing for 199 yards, and he rushed for 103 yards and two TDs on nine carries.

He wasn't the only player to make a critical mistake in overtime.

Washington (1-3-1) got the ball with 2 minutes left in OT when Daron Payne stripped the ball from Cam Skattebo with New York in range for a game-ending field goal.

“I’ve got to hold onto the ball, and make sure that these guys know that when my name is called, that we’re going to be OK,” Skattebo said.

Coach John Harbaugh said the Giants' goal on their final drive was to run the ball twice, get as close as they could to the end zone and then kick a field goal.

“It’s a heck of a lot better than a loss, but it’s not as good as a win,” Harbaugh said. “I know that just sounds so obvious, but that’s kind of how you feel. We’ll take it, we’ll take it right now.”

A kick by the Giants wouldn't have been a sure thing, given the struggles of Dominic Zvada, who missed his third field goal of the game on New York's first possession of OT.

“He'll learn from that,” Harbaugh said. “He was going to miss at some point, now he's got his first miss — he's got his first three misses.”

Winston, Nabers and Likely rally the Giants

The Commanders had a two-touchdown lead in the fourth quarter before Jameis Winston led a furious comeback for the NFC East-leading Giants (3-1-1). He connected with Isaiah Likely for a 17-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter — Likely's second TD catch of the game — and then found Malik Nabers for the tying score, also from 17 yards out, with 1:43 left.

Winston finished with 326 yards passing and three touchdowns.

“I thought he was amazing in the fourth quarter, I thought he was amazing in the second half,” Harbaugh said. “I thought his ability to come out and change like that, we changed our offense up and tried some different things, he really settled into the things we did offensively. He was amazing. First half, he wasn’t, and he’ll be the first to tell you that.”

Daniels had rushing TDs of 38 and 26 yards in the second half, the latter of which gave the Commanders a seemingly comfortable 27-13 lead.

But the Giants rallied behind Winston and his two top targets, Nabers (11 catches for 121 yards and a TD) and Likely (11 receptions for 94 yards and the two scores). On his second TD, Likely had the ball punched out just after he crossed the goal line, and the score was awarded after a replay review.

After Nabers' touchdown, the Commanders had one last chance to win in regulation, but their drive stalled at midfield.

The Commanders opened the game with a four-play drive that included two passes by Daniels that covered 34 yards, a scramble by the elusive QB and a 33-yard touchdown run by Jacory Croskey-Merritt.

Washington's Drew Stevens missed the extra point. He kicked two first-half field goals, while the Giants missed two field goals of their own to trail 12-3 at halftime.

Injuries

Giants: RT Jermaine Eluemunor had to be carried off the field with a left calf injury. CB Colton Hood was injured on a kickoff late in the third quarter and was helped off the field. He was evaluated for a concussion. S Tyler Nubin was helped off the field in the fourth with a neck injury.

Washington WR Terry McLaurin returned after missing last week's game with a hamstring injury, finishing with four catches for 62 yards.

Burrow completó 23 de 32 pases para 190 yardas sin intercepciones, mientras Cincinnati mejoró su marca a 3-2 frente a un equipo de Miami que sigue buscando su primera victoria. Malik Willis lanzó para 113 yardas y un touchdown, pero sufrió dos intercepciones, ambas a manos del safety de los Bengals Jordan Battle.

Los Bengals tomaron una ventaja temprana después de que el receptor abierto Dohnte Meyers abrió el partido con un regreso de patada inicial de 81 yardas. Burrow aprovechó la buena posición de campo y conectó con el ex Dolphin Mike Gesicki para un touchdown de 4 yardas que puso a Cincinnati arriba 7-0.

Miami respondió en su siguiente serie ofensiva cuando el corredor novato Ollie Gordon II avanzó con fuerza hasta la zona de anotación desde la yarda uno para empatar el partido 7-7. Gordon, quien hacía la segunda titularidad de su carrera, añadió una carrera de 22 yardas durante la serie después de correr para un máximo personal de 100 yardas en nueve acarreos contra Minnesota en la Semana 4.

Gordon llegó al domingo con un promedio de 5.1 yardas por acarreo, la octava mejor marca de la NFL, y recibió la oportunidad de ampliar su buena actuación contra los Vikings.

Terminó con

Cincinnati recuperó la ventaja cuando Burrow encontró al corredor Samaje Perine para un touchdown de 6 yardas. Los Bengals continuaron aprovechando la defensa de Miami por el centro del campo, con sus tres alas cerradas registrando recepciones.

El ala cerrada Tanner Hudson atrapó el tercer pase de touchdown de Burrow en el día, ampliando la ventaja de Cincinnati a 21-7.

Miami tuvo dificultades para establecer un ritmo ofensivo durante la primera mitad.

Willis no completó un pase hasta el segundo cuarto y lanzó dos intercepciones a Battle. Terminó la primera mitad con 5 pases completos en 12 intentos para 60 yardas, mientras que el principal receptor de Miami al descanso, el receptor abierto Jalen Tolbert, tenía 22 yardas.

Burrow completó 16 de 21 pases para 111 yardas y tres touchdowns en la primera mitad.

Las dificultades de los Dolphins continuaron después del descanso.

Willis fue capturado por el ala defensiva de los Bengals Boye Mafe, y un castigo por cambio ilegal de formación ayudó a obligar a Miami a despejar después de tres jugadas sin conseguir un primer down.

Burrow lanzó entonces su cuarto pase de touchdown al conectar con Ja’Marr Chase, quien realizó una impresionante recepción después de que el defensivo de los Dolphins Jason Marshall Jr. calculó mal su salto. Chase, quien superó el protocolo de conmoción cerebral antes del partido, completó la jugada en la zona de anotación para darle a Cincinnati una ventaja de 28-7.

Miami finalmente encontró una chispa gracias a la capacidad de Willis para correr.

El quarterback se escapó para una carrera de 39 yardas, la segunda carrera más larga de un quarterback en la historia de los Dolphins, detrás de la carrera de 48 yardas de Ryan Tannehill contra los Arizona Cardinals en 2013.

Más tarde, Willis rodó hacia su derecha y conectó con Kevin Coleman Jr. para un touchdown. Miami convirtió el intento de dos puntos posterior con un pase al ala cerrada Greg Dulcich, reduciendo la ventaja de Cincinnati a 28-18.

Los Dolphins no pudieron completar la remontada.

Miami también enfrentó varias preocupaciones por lesiones.

El linebacker Jordyn Brooks fue descartado después de sufrir una lesión en el pie, mientras que el safety novato Michael Taaffe regresó a la banda tras aparentemente lesionarse el hombro y luego volvió al partido. Inicialmente, los Dolphins incluyeron a Taaffe en el reporte por una lesión en el pecho y lo catalogaron como cuestionable para regresar.

La defensa de los Dolphins tuvo una contribución destacada de Chris Johnson, quien provocó un balón suelto de Chase Brown. El EDGE Chop Robinson recuperó el balón, pero lo perdió durante el regreso antes de que Miami lo recuperara en una secuencia caótica.

Robinson también pareció registrar una captura antes de que un castigo por fuera de lugar anulara la jugada y le diera a Cincinnati un primer down.

Los Bengals lograron provocar un balón suelto cuando faltaban solo unos minutos y añadieron un gol de campo de Evan McPherson para ponerse arriba 31-18.

Willis respondió después de encontrar a Coleman con un pase que llevó a Miami hasta la yarda uno. Luego terminó la serie con una carrera corta del quarterback para reducir la ventaja de los Bengals a 31-24. Patterson falló los puntos extra posteriores.

Fue un día difícil en general para Malik Willis en el juego aéreo, quien lanzó dos intercepciones, mientras Burrow y la ofensiva de los Bengals continuaron poniendo a prueba a los linebackers de los Dolphins y ganando yardas por el centro del campo.

Completó pases con al menos nueve jugadores diferentes.

Lo que viene

Miami (0-5) buscará poner fin a su inicio sin victorias el próximo domingo como visitante contra los New York Jets (1-3). Cincinnati entrará en su semana de descanso después de la victoria.
