Rising interest rates have the US on a collision course with the need to finally deal with its bloated debt pile, Goldman Sachs warns.
"Persistently higher rates would boost interest expense as a share of GDP — a key gauge of the cash outflows needed to service the debt — and push the debt-to-GDP ratio up to 132% by 2035, 10 percentage points above our baseline, raising the odds that deficit reduction becomes necessary sooner to stabilize the debt," Goldman Sachs strategist Pierfrancesco Mei wrote in a new note on Tuesday.
US Treasury yields have climbed aggressively this year, effectively pushing up the country's debt servicing costs. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX) has surged more than 115 basis points, from around 4.10% late last year to a 24-year high of around 5.28% at present.

This sustained sell-off across the bond market has been fueled by inflation brought on by the US war on Iran, which prompted the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates last month. The economy's resilience in the face of pricing pressures has also contributed to the sell-off.

US actor Tom Cruise has surprised a British man who spent a year completing a series of extreme sporting challenges to raise money for charity.
Lloyd Kembrey, a facilities manager at the University of Bristol, took on the challenges to fundraise for children's hospice charity Jessie May.
His connection to the charity was born from his twin cousins, Francesca and Josephine, who were diagnosed with the life-limiting condition Sanfilippo disease type A when they were three-and-a-half years old. Both died in their teens.
Kembrey was inspired to undertake a number of exhilarating challenges in order to honour their memory and support other families facing similar circumstances.
The challenges he faced included a 31-mile ice skating ultramarathon in Finland, climbing the height of Mount Everest on a climbing wall and a 94-mile hike along southern England's Jurassic Coast.

Como had a night to remember in the history of their football club, taking part in the Champions League for the first time.
The Italian side's rise to the top has been nothing short of remarkable, and under the astute guidance of Cesc Fabregas, they have reached the biggest competition in club football.
Como faced RB Leipzig on their Champions League debut, securing a 4-1 victory to mark the occasion, with Nico Paz starring for the Italians.
He delivered another reminder of his development away from Real Madrid, and the 22-year-old has become a star in his own right.
The former Madrid academy attacking midfielder produced two ***** ists as Como secured the win against the Bundesliga side.

Cesc Fabregas has been left seriously impressed by Barcelona's current level under Hansi Flick, describing the Blaugrana's performances as "frightening" ahead of their eventual Champions League meeting with his Como side.
Fabregas, who came through Barcelona's academy and later played for the first team, watched Barça's recent European victory over Feyenoord and highlighted their ability to escape almost any tactical problem thrown at them.
The Como manager was speaking after his own team made an emphatic start to their Champions League campaign, beating Leipzig 4–1 in a statement result on their European debut.
Barcelona's ability to find answers regardless of the opposition's approach stood out most to Fabregas.
"I watched Barça's match yesterday and I can tell you that Feyenoord are a very good side, but the thing is, Barça make you look bad because they find a way out of every situation at all times.

Blaming declining mall traffic for retail store failures ignores what's actually happening.
"Malls' H1 2026 momentum continued going into the second half of the year, with year-over-year (YoY) visits to shopping centers up across all three formats ******* yzed (indoor, open-air, and outlet) in July 2026," according to data from Placer.ai.
Retailers like Claire's, Joann, and Macy's, which have either fully closed or have shut down dozens of locations, may have failed to capitalize on mall foot traffic, but it's unfair to say that people did not visit malls.
"Open-air shopping centers — which have led the category since the beginning of the year — continued their outperformance, with YoY traffic up 5.1%, followed closely by indoor malls (+4.3%)," the data showed.
Francesca's, a mall staple since its launch in 1999, closed all its more than 450 stores in March and has now received court permission to liquidate its remaining ******* ets.

RB Leipzig suffered a 4-1 defeat away to Como 1907 in their opening Champions League game on 10th September 2026.
Como begin on the front foot, pressing high and putting our boys under pressure from the outset. The first chances fell to Cesc Fàbregas' side.
Maarten Vandevoordt produced a fine save to deny Anastasios Douvikas in the 13th minute, but the goalkeeper was beaten two minutes later. Martin Baturina was able to get a shot away from close range inside the penalty area and found the back of the net to put Como 1-0 ahead (15').
RBL almost responded immediately. Straight from the restart, Antonio Nusa found himself one-on-one with Como goalkeeper Jean Butez after getting on the end of a long ball, but his finish was too central and Butez made the save (16').
Leipzig then began to create more opportunities. Andrija Maksimović and Marc Guiu, who were both making their first starts for the club, went close in quick succession. Butez first made an excellent save to keep out Maksimović's curling effort, before Guiu sent a promising header wide just seconds later (36').

Roma is in, but Francesco Totti prefers not to rush things.
The former Giallorossi captain, now an advisor for Maxima Roma, spoke to Rai Sport on the sidelines of the presentation of the capital's basketball team, also focusing on the ***** le race.
Regarding the potential battle for first place, Totti names two teams but postpones any decision: "Roma and Inter are the candidates for the ***** le, we're not saying anything and we'll wait for the rest of the season. We'll see in 10 or 15 matchdays."
Meanwhile, his bond with the Giallorossi remains intact. Totti doesn't hide his satisfaction with the team's start and reiterates what Roma means to him: "I will never put Roma aside, it's my skin. We're here, we've started well, and I hope it can continue at this level."
The former number 10 then rejected the idea that the new adventure could be a response to those who didn't involve him in other projects: "Am I taking revenge on those who didn't seek me out? It's not a reprisal, but a project that's excited me. I'm happy because for me, sport comes first."

GENEVA, Sept 7 (Reuters) - A U.N. expert said on Monday that Israeli clearance of rubble in Gaza could destroy valuable evidence of "atrocity crimes" and prevent the recovery of human remains.
Israel's ****** ault on Gaza — started after the deadly raid into Israel by Hamas in October 2023 — has generated around 61 million tons of wreckage and debris that could take seven years to clear, according to the United Nations.
Francesca Albanese, the U.N. expert on the Palestinian territories, said evidence should be gathered and human remains identified before full clearance started.
She issued a statement headlined: "UN expert warns Israeli rubble-clearing could erase traces of atrocity crimes" and said Palestinians should be behind any plans to remove waste.

Few retail chains that filled malls in the 1980s and 1990s still exist today.
Teenage me could have shopped at Chess King for shiny shirts, visited Gadzooks for baggy pants, or gone a little classier and purchased dressier clothes at Structure. All of those chains were fairly, if not very, popular for a minute, and none of them exist now.
Former Tory Burch Chief Client Officer Francesca Danzi told Forbes that it's a major challenge for a brand to remain relevant across decades.
"Enhancing retail experience is key and goes beyond adding omnichannel capabilities that boost convenience. We are witnessing the rise of experiential retail that is reshaping the store of the future," she said.
Danzi does not see the so-called retail apocalypse as a crisis where stores are closing, but as an opportunity to right-size store portfolios.

Como fought back from a debut Milutin Osmajic goal to crush Genoa 4-1, including an **** ane Diao brace, Martin Baturina and Nico Paz, with Moise Kean providing an **** ist.
The Lariani were fresh from a 2-1 victory away to Napoli, plus deadline day signings Moise Kean and Robert Sanchez on the bench waiting for their debuts. Only Jayden Addai remained on the treatment table. Genoa were in crisis after losing to both Napoli and Lazio without scoring a goal, as Lorenzo Venturino, Joi Nuredini, Hamed Traore and Elias Havel were still out of action, but Djibril Sow and Milutin Osmajic got their first starts.

British number one Katie Boulter was dumped out of the US Open in the second round as she won just one game in a 58-minute demolition by Karolina Muchova.
The match, originally scheduled to be played on one of the outer courts, was moved to the 14,000-capacity Louis Armstrong Stadium after heavy rain in New York.
But fans who had counted themselves lucky to have gained a third match on their day session ticket may have been left feeling short-changed, as Boulter fell to a swift 6-1 6-0 defeat by the Czech seventh seed.
Francesca Jones had better fortune as she returned to win her first-round match against Poland's Magda Linette after it was interrupted by rain on Tuesday.
Boulter's serve let her down as she hit eight double faults and no aces, while she won just 33% of points behind her first serve.

After their 4-0 opening-day victory against Fiorentina, Roma are eager to confirm their form at 6:00 PM at the Via del Mare against Eusebio Di Francesco's Lecce.
Gian Piero Gasperini will certainly start with the Dybala-Malen pairing, with Mora ahead of Soulè for the third-choice attack. The other contender is on the right flank: Lulli or Molina?
The 2007-born player, who trained in the Giallorossi youth system, is expected to be retained, with the former Atletico Madrid player possibly coming on during the match.
In fact, Roma could take the field in Lecce with the same team that won 4-0 against Fiorentina.

Como director Carlalberto Ludi admits advanced talks with Fiorentina for Moise Kean, but warns they are 'stalling' on Samuele Ricci from Milan. 'We're not sure yet.'
The director of sport spoke to Sky Sport Italia in the wake of the Champions League draw, the first in the club's history.
It will see them face the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and Manchester United in the tournament, a remarkable achievement considering they were in Serie B just three years ago.

As a result, they have had to spend big this summer to reinforce the squad for coach Cesc Fabregas, and the latest deal would seem to be for Fiorentina striker Kean.
