WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military said it attacked a boat suspected of being used to smuggle drugs in the Caribbean Sea on Sunday, killing four people, as the Trump administration continues its yearlong campaign against alleged traffickers in Latin America.
The latest attack brings the number of people who have been killed in boat strikes by the U.S. military to at least 235 in 70 strikes since the Trump administration began targeting those it calls "narcoterrorists" in September 2025. As with most of the military's statements on strikes in the eastern Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea, U.S. Southern Command said it targeted the alleged drug traffickers along known smuggling routes.
The military did not provide evidence that the vessel was ferrying drugs. A video posted on X showed what appeared to be an explosion destroying a moving boat, which the military said was a go-fast vessel.
The Trump administration is pursuing deals with allied nations to extend its offensive to land across multiple Latin American countries. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said during a visit to Panama in August that Colombia, Guatemala and Honduras had agreed to allow the U.S. to carry out joint military operations against criminal groups on their soil. Guatemala denied reaching such a deal. Ecuador launched similar missions with the U.S. in March.
President Donald Trump has said the U.S. is in "armed conflict" with cartels in Latin America and has justified the attacks as a necessary escalation to stem the flow of drugs into the United States and fatal overdoses claiming American lives. But his administration has offered little evidence to support its claims of killing smugglers.

Another round of layoffs has brought dramatic cuts to a city's local newspaper.
On Monday, Hornets beat reporter Rod Boone of the Charlotte Observer shared on social media that the paper eliminated his position, along with seven colleagues, in the latest round of McClatchy cuts.
Boone said that the news came "less than 48 hours after being told corporate had given the green light to bring back my podcast they whacked two years earlier." He also noted that the cuts meant that the paper will no longer have a writer dedicated to covering the Hornets, a first since the team's inception in 1987.
The cuts are just the latest in a series of layoffs made at papers controlled by McClatchy. The Miami Herald also laid off staffers this week, including sportswriter Greg Cote, who went back five decades with the paper. The Sacramento Bee was also caught in the wreckage, losing its sports department entirely.
Media layoffs have only become more common in recent years, and local newspapers are especially suffering. They have also often come with a shocking lack of respect from those in charge of deciding who stays and who goes. As Boone says, he got the news of his release just days before his fifth anniversary at the paper, and just days after he was ****** ured that he was clear to bring his podcast back on the air. Similarly, Cote's dismissal from the Herald came after 54 years of service, and he got the news on his birthday.

GLASTONBURY - Eli Showerda kept the ball on an option from 1 yard out with 20 seconds remaining to lift the Maloney football team to a 35-28 season-opening victory over Glastonbury on Thursday night.
The senior quarterback did damage through the air, too, throwing two first-half touchdown passes before delivering the game-winning score on the ground.
His first touchdown pass, a 15-yarder to senior running back Devan Bacote, tied the game 14-14 in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Showerda connected with Jayden Soto over the middle for an 83-yard touchdown that gave the Spartans a 21-14 lead.
The game, however, was far from over.
Leading by eight with 4:41 remaining, Maloney watched Glastonbury put together a game-tying drive after Shane Santora returned the kickoff past midfield to give the Guardians excellent field position. Quarterback Matthew Cartwright capped the drive with a 20-yard touchdown run before Glastonbury converted the 2-point conversion to tie the game 28-28 with 3:31 left.

Gary Player is someone who never shirks responsibility when it comes to speaking out about issues with the current state of the game.
Player enjoyed a fabulous career at the highest level of the sport, winning 159 times professionally worldwide, including nine major championships.
Because of that record, the diminutive South African has a certain authority when he speaks.
Gary Player is often highly critical of numerous issues with the modern-day game.

Lamine Camara (22) is currently undergoing a medical ahead of a move to Chelsea from Monaco before the transfer deadline, according to a report from Fabrizio Romano. As reported by RMC Sport, the Premier League club have reached an agreement in the region of €50m plus bonuses to sign the Senegalese international midfielder before the transfer window closes.
Chelsea had been in negotiations with Les Monégasques throughout deadline day to sign the 22-year-old as they searched for a replacement for Enzo Fernández (25), who looks set to join Manchester City for a record-equalling British fee of £125m. The Côte d'Azur outfit originally commanded a fee in the region of €70m, due to their lack of need to sell with Folarin Balogun seemingly joining Everton. However, after the USMNT forward failed his medical, the club have been forced to negotiate with the Blues at a much lower price in order to raise funds before the end of the window. Everything now points towards Camara joining the Blues.

Celtic have reportedly missed out on a defensive transfer target. The Hoops are in the market for cover in the fullback areas but it appears that OGC Nice are on the verge of securing the services of Eintracht Frankfurt's Niels Nkounkou. The 25-year-old was wanted by Celtic but, according to L'Équipe, he has opted to move to the Cote D'Azur.
The article states that the Frenchman has decided to make the switch from the Bundesliga to the Ligue 1 side on a loan deal with the French side holding an option to buy.
The Scottish Champions appear to have swiftly moved onto Jordan Lotomba as they look to add to their backline. The 27-year-old has one year remaining on his deal at Feyenoord and Celtic are reportedly in talks over a loan deal for the Swiss fullback.
It appears that Celtic are scrambling for transfers in the closing phases of the window. Whilst it is always possible for quality to be found, given the amount of time to replace players, often quality is at a premium and a number of deals are already in progress, making it harder to interfere and hijack proceedings.

The name Dolly Parton immediately conjures an image of a larger-than-life figure with big hair, loud makeup, dazzling clothes, enhanced features, and a personality as magnificent as the music legacy ******* ociated with it. This multi-dimensional visual is only fitting for a cultural icon who fashioned a persona so colorful that to honor Parton's amazing life as an artist would be incomplete without celebrating her unmatched style.
The Grammy-winning country singer, who died on August 25, 2026, of cancer, was a truly original fashion icon — even though she demurred at the notion of being considered one. Right from her girlhood days in Tennessee, where she grew up as a poor farmer's daughter who found creative ways to beautify herself, to her time as a globally beloved celebrity who, despite relentless lampooning, stayed true to her authentic tastes, Parton was a masterclass in catching every curveball and turning it into an opportunity for greatness.
The best part was that she refused to compromise. "It took me probably years longer to be taken serious, but I wasn't willing to change it, and I figured if I had the talent, it'd show up sooner or later," she told The Guardian. And she did; the industry could overlook a talent as exceptional as Parton for only so long. There have been few, after all, who could play perfect chords with extra-long acrylic nails. Here is the significance behind Dolly Parton's signature style and why she was never seen without it.

DUBAI, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Six months after the airstrikes that began the war and propelled a badly wounded Mojtaba Khamenei into the role of Iran's supreme leader, he remains entirely unseen and unheard by Iranians — a vacuum at the heart of his country's leadership.
Questions over his condition and role are growing increasingly fraught, with Iran facing critical decisions over a war that has set the Middle East aflame while trashing the country's already fragile economy.
Iranian officials and other senior sources in the country say Khamenei remains in control, ruling from the shadows for security reasons as he recovers from disfiguring wounds while delegating broad daily authority to a coterie of top figures.
But with no photograph, video or audio message released since his appointment a week into the war, Iranians are ever more sceptical about his position in an Islamic Republic in which the leader's voice is meant to be absolute.

An unnamed Premier League club are preparing a concrete offer in a bid to secure the services of OGC Nice's Melvin Bard (25), according to information from Foot Mercato.
A key figure in Les Aiglons' dressing room, the left-back – who can also play as a wing-back – was notably targeted by AFC Sunderland last summer. And whilst his contract runs until 2028, Nice's management are reportedly unwilling to let him go for less than €10m.
Having come through the ranks at Olympique Lyonnais' academy, Bard joined the Côte d'Azur side in the summer of 2021 for a fee of €3m. Since then, the Écully-born player has established himself as a regular starter for the red and black side, and has now made nearly 192 appearances for OGCN.
Having been named captain on several occasions in recent months, Bard rounded off his 2025-26 season with 44 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals and providing one ****** ist.

Elye Wahi touched down in Nice late last night ahead of his loan move to Le Gym from Eintracht Frankfurt. The Ivory Coast international also spent last season on loan at OGC Nice.
Fans gathered at Nice Airport late on Sunday night to welcome Wahi. The former Olympique de Marseille, RC Lens, and Montpellier HSC forward spent the second half of last season on loan at the Allianz Riviera. It was his goals that ultimately kept the club in Ligue 1. After netting in the promotion/ relegation playoff against AS Saint-Étienne, keeping Nice in the top flight, Wahi gave an interview in which he was very emotional and grateful to the club.
However, due to Nice's finances, it was not possible to include a buy option. Another loan move would be beyond Nice, it was thought, however, they have succeeded in reaching an agreement with their German counterparts. Wahi has arrived on the Côte d'Azur ahead of his medical. This time, his loan will include a buy option valued at €15m, Nice-Matin understands.
Speaking in a press conference attended by Get French Football News on Saturday night, following a 0-0 draw against FC Lorient, Olivier Pantaloni said that he was "impatient to have a signing" in attack. He added that he would be having talks with his superiors to understand the status of any deal(s). And just hours later, Wahi is in Nice and expected to complete a return.

LEXINGTON – It took three weeks longer than expected to complete the 93rd News Journal Tennis Tournament, but once action resumed Jake Chilcote – or should we say, Mr. Tiebreaker – simply picked up where he left off.
He beat former Lexington High School teammate and 2024 champ Ethan Remy 6-1, 1-6, 10-8 for the men's singles ***** le Saturday at Lakewood Racquet Club.
Since Nicky Wong capped his four-year reign in 2022, there have been four different champions over the last four years. There was Justin Csepe in 2023, Remy in 2024 and Dylan Catanese in 2025, paving the way for Chilcote's run to the championship this summer.
No one can say he didn't earn it.
Chilcote's last three wins in the tournament were all decided by 10-point tiebreakers. He went the distance – first to 10 points by two in a decisive mini-set – to beat former champ Alex "Bones" McCann in the quarterfinals and again in the semis against 2024 finalist Cooper Remy, Ethan's younger brother.

It may have taken decades, but Heather Locklear and Lorenzo Lamas have finally fallen into one another's arms. Sadly, love doesn't pay the bills, which is something Lamas, who rose to fame starring in nine seasons of "Falcon Crest" and five seasons of "Renegade," needed to learn the hard way. Lamas found himself in a financial pickle when the roles started to dry up, and with added divorce costs and Lamas' many ex-wives who came calling for their alimony, he was out $6,123 a month. On top of that was the cost of raising six children, and it didn't help that the actor had expensive habits. When he filed for bankruptcy in 2004, Lamas was over $600,000 in debt, with items like his Harley-Davidson, Hummer, and private plane hanging over his head.
Lamas filed for bankruptcy a second time in 2014. Where the actor had over $400,000 in ***** ets in '04, in the '14 listing, he was down to just $9,100, with only $430 in the bank. The good news was that his debt had been cut in half. The bad news was that even half the debt was still over $300,000. The "Bold and the Beautiful" star opened up on "Oprah: Where Are They Now" (via HuffPost), saying, "My greatest regret would be that I took my success for granted, because it was given to me at such a young age. I thought my acting career was going to just last forever ..." But the star wasn't going to sit around and wait to see what would happen. He took responsibility and found a way out of the hole he had dug.

Lorenzo Lamas/X
The son of Hollywood legends Arlene Dahl and Fernando Lamas, Lorenzo Lamas was in his 40s when he had to do something he had never done before: get a regular job. Being a man with many talents, Lamas landed a pretty cool job, becoming a helicopter pilot touring people around Los Angeles and New York, but the change in profession wasn't easy for him, explaining, "It was a very difficult lesson to learn at 40 years old." But it was a lesson that taught the star what he needed to learn, as he went on to opine, "Put some money away and not spend it so ... frivolously on boats and airplanes and houses behind gates, and all that stuff that really doesn't matter."

I thought my acting career was going to just last forever ..." But the star wasn't going to sit around and wait to see what would happen. He took responsibility and found a way out of the hole he had dug.

Lorenzo Lamas/X
The son of Hollywood legends Arlene Dahl and Fernando Lamas, Lorenzo Lamas was in his 40s when he had to do something he had never done before: get a regular job. Being a man with many talents, Lamas landed a pretty cool job, becoming a helicopter pilot touring people around Los Angeles and New York, but the change in profession wasn't easy for him, explaining, "It was a very difficult lesson to learn at 40 years old." But it was a lesson that taught the star what he needed to learn, as he went on to opine, "Put some money away and not spend it so ... frivolously on boats and airplanes and houses behind gates, and all that stuff that really doesn't matter."

Last week was busy for Veritas Capital.
On Thursday, the New York-based private equity firm, which makes investments in government-adjacent and regulated industries, agreed to acquire Texas-based Saber Power Services, marking its third acquisition announcement in less than a week.
Days earlier, it agreed to acquire federal contractor Steampunk and environmental consultancy Trinity Consultants, and submitted a 914 pence-per-share proposal for London-listed Bodycote, valuing the industrial services company's equity at about £1.56 billion ($2.1 billion).
The bid places Veritas in a takeover contest with CVC Capital Partners, which proposed 915 pence per share. The bidders face a Sept. 2 deadline.
This dealmaking spree followed Veritas's July agreement to buy facilities management and engineering business BGIS.

Demi Vollering raced clear to win stage eight of the Tour de France Femmes and ***** the leader's yellow jersey with just one stage remaining.
The race lead has changed hands for the second day running, with Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney having won on Mont Ventoux to replace Marlen Reusser at the top of the general classification.
That gave the Polish Canyon-SRAM rider a 15-second lead over Vollering heading into Saturday's penultimate stage, a mostly flat 171.9km ride from Sisteron to Nice.
It was the longest stage of this year's race and looked set to suit the sprinters, but they were dropped on the Cote de la Ginestiere - the final climb of the day - about 8km from the finish.
Dutch FDJ-Suez rider Vollering then attacked in a bid to drop Niewiadoma-Phinney and Elisa Longo Borghini, and went clear right before she crested the final climb, with 6km to the finish.

With the LIV Golf Tour hanging on by a thread, Bryson DeChambeau hosted a players only meeting to discuss the future of the league. The meeting took place subsequently after LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil and other executives met with the captains of the LIV Golf teams. While few players commented on the happenings, there are some indicators.
Richard Bland said, "Bryson just ran through what he knows, and obviously, we're trying to do it as a group, but we're individuals as well, so I think the next two to three weeks is going to be where it's at. We're in this together; we're fully backing Scott. I think probably in the next two to three weeks we'll have a bigger picture. We're just in that kind of stage at the minute that we're positive with what's going on, but we just need everything to be fully signed off so you can go forward."
LIV Golf has yet to confirm if their Team Championship will occur as scheduled at The Cardinal in Plymouth, Michigan on August 27th-30th. The preparations for the event still need completion, which is unusual. It seems unlikely they will be finished.

BUCYRUS - Monday was the first time Parker Tinch was cleared to walk 18 holes this summer.
The Galion senior received injections to treat knee pain after summer basketball which sidelined him for a crucial part of golf preparation.
"It put me out for about four or five weeks," Tinch said. "I couldn't really swing a club, so I was just getting back into it about two weeks ago.
"I rode in a cart for qualifiers ... so really no prep at all. I just came out (today) and if it hurt, it hurt."

LEXINGTON – The stage is set for the finals of the marquee event in the 93rd News Journal Tennis Tournament.
Now it's just a matter of waiting. And it should be worth the wait.
Former Lexington High School teammates and current Ohio Athletic Conference college rivals Ethan Remy and Jake Chilcote emerged from Sunday's marathon slate of action to reach the finals of men's singles.
Originally set for Monday night at the high school courts, the **** le match has been postponed until Saturday, August 22, time TBA. Chilcote is having his wisdom teeth pulled Monday and Remy is flying back to New York, where he has been working this summer at the John McEnroe Tennis Academy.
Both of them played four matches, singles and doubles, on Sunday, so squeezing in the championship bout that night was not a realistic option.

Hull City are reportedly interested in OGC Nice's Mohamed-Ali Cho (20), according to information from Nice-Matin.
With a move on the cards, the forward could even be the subject of a bid worth €20m from the Tigers very soon. Having been relatively quiet in the transfer market so far (spending just €3.5m), the newly promoted Premier League side could therefore be set to splash the cash.
Having joined Nice from Real Sociedad for a €10m cheque in the winter of 2024, the Stains-born player has established himself as a regular starter in the Côte d'Azur side's line-up. Making 37 appearances for Les Aiglons last season, Cho proved decisive on 10 occasions, scoring five goals and providing five ****** ists.
And whilst he has never played in the Premier League, England is by no means unfamiliar territory for the 22-year-old, having spent five years, between 2015 and 2020, training at Everton's academy.

Wood Mackenzie now estimates that the global upstream oil and gas sector could generate $495 billion in free cash flow in 2026 if crude averages $90 per barrel, more than doubling its previous forecast based on a $60 oil price **** umption. The revision follows the sharp jump in crude prices triggered by the Middle East conflict, turning what had been expected to be another year of disciplined cash generation into one of the industry's most lucrative windfalls in recent years. Yet the gains will be concentrated among the world's largest producers, with the 49 national and international oil companies covered by Wood Mackenzie expected to capture $272 billion of the total.
Wood Mackenzie expects the conflict to reduce global oil production by at least 3%, with Iraq accounting for roughly 3 million barrels per day of lost output, while damage to infrastructure in Qatar is projected to cut global LNG supply by 2%. The stronger cash flow outlook does not alter the industry's longer-term production trajectory. Wood Mackenzie projects average production across the 155 upstream companies it tracks will fall 30% between 2030 and 2040, with more than 70 producers facing declines of more than 50% unless they make significant new investments.
However, WoodMac says energy companies are likely to maintain capital discipline despite the unexpected influx of cash, with capex budgets expected to largely remain flat while share buybacks are projected to decrease by 5% as boards prioritize balance sheet strength and deleveraging.
Related: War Sends Saudi Oil Output Down and Revenue Up
Meanwhile, energy companies are expected to continue to deploy the excess cash to purchase attractive oil and gas **** ets. Upstream M&A surged to a two-year high in the first half of the year, including Shell Plc's (NYSE:SHEL) $16 billion acquisition of ARC Resources, Devon's (NYSE:DVN) $25 billion merger with Coterra and Mitsubishi's (OTCPK:MSBHF) $7.5 billion purchase of Aethon. Dealmakers are increasingly prioritizing stable, low-cost regions and natural gas/LNG **** ets to ensure supply chain security.

Eni raised its 2026 oil and gas production outlook and expanded its share buyback program after reporting significantly stronger second-quarter results, supported by double-digit production growth, higher commodity prices and improved performance across several business segments.
The Italian energy company now expects underlying full-year hydrocarbon production growth of around 5%, up from its previous guidance of 3% to 4%, following 11% year-over-year underlying production growth in the second quarter to 1.79 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, excluding price effects.
The improved outlook prompted Eni to increase its planned 2026 share repurchase program to €3.4 billion, up from the previously revised €2.8 billion, while reaffirming its planned dividend of €1.10 per share. The company also said an extraordinary dividend could be considered later this year if refining margins remain well above budget ****** umptions.
Second-quarter adjusted EBIT more than doubled year over year to €5.38 billion, while adjusted net profit rose to €2.3 billion. The upstream business generated €4.77 billion in adjusted EBIT, benefiting from higher production, favorable oil realizations and continued cost discipline. Cash flow before working capital reached €4.47 billion, comfortably covering €1.84 billion in capital spending and €1.35 billion returned to shareholders through dividends and buybacks during the quarter.
Strategically, Eni continued expanding its upstream portfolio and transition businesses. During the quarter it established the Searah joint venture with Petronas, creating a regional platform spanning Indonesia and Malaysia that will develop major gas discoveries in the Kutei Basin. The company also approved final investment decisions for the Baleine Phase 3 development offshore Côte d'Ivoire, the Greater PAJ project offshore Angola, and the Cronos gas project offshore Cyprus.

Multiple French reports suggest Randal Kolo Muani will fly out over the next 48 hours to join Juventus, after they finally agreed a mandatory purchase option with Paris Saint-Germain.
The matter has been dragging on since the moment he first arrived on loan in January 2025, but when they failed to work out a permanent agreement that summer, he was loaned to Tottenham Hotspur instead.
Negotiations carried on in recent months to find a breakthrough, and it seems today they finally managed to settle on a transfer format both clubs could be happy with.

Several reports confirmed Yan Diomande is open to joining Real Madrid after positive talks on contract terms. RB Leipzig rejected Real Madrid's initial €100m offer for the Ivorian attacker, but the record Champions League winners are expected to return with a new bid.
PSG were the frontrunners in the mega transfer for weeks, but there is still no club-to-club agreement with RB Leipzig so far. Meanwhile, Real Madrid's new coach Jose Mourinho reportedly indicated to his board to add "even more speed and fresh legs upfront", according to Fabrizio Romano.
There are also fresh reports linking Premier League giants Manchester City and **** nal with the club, but the player wasn't interested after their calls over the last 10 days. RB Leipzig rejected both bids they received for the player from PSG and Real Madrid.
Diomande scored 13 goals in his debut Bundesliga season after joining from CD Leganés for only €20 million. He also had an impressive World Cup campaign with Côte d'Ivoire as he helped his country reach the knockout stages for the first time.

In a recent post on X, journalist Ben Jacobs mentioned that ***** nal are showing interest in Red Bull Leipzig winger Yan Diomande this summer. It has been claimed that the Gunners have made an enquiry about the Ivory Coast international, who has his heart set on a move to Paris Saint-Germain this off-season.
Diomande enjoyed a brilliant campaign at the German club in the previous campiagn when he put in a series of impressive displays for them on the offensive end of the field. The 19-year-old banged in 13 goals and grabbed ten ***** ists in 36 matches for Red Bull Leipzig last season across all competitions.
The Ivory Coast talent is currently among the most feared wingers in the Bundesliga. Thus, ***** nal would do well to get him on board in this summer transfer window.
His current contract at the Red Bull Arena will run out in the summer of 2030, which could make it tough for the Gunners to sign him on the cheap this off-season.

When celebrities need a change in their lives or careers, one of the first places they go to is the salon. Keri Russell and the executive producers of "Felicity" created cultural panic when Russell cut her hair on screen, a short hair makeover she later regretted. And in recent years, Kaley Cuoco, Katy Perry, and Zoë Kravitz are a few of the celebs who totally rocked short hair transformations. Whether those ladies knew it or not, in the late '80s, an up-and-coming model named Linda Evangelista paved the way for women to take those big risks with their hair — and it almost ruined her career. Evangelista's cut is now part of fashion industry history. In the 2023 Apple TV+ docuseries "The Super Models" (via Us Weekly), Evangelista said that she lost work immediately after stylist Julien d'Ys cut her long brown waves into a pixie at the suggestion of photographer Peter Lindbergh.

"I went to Milano to do the fashion shows where I was booked for 20 shows. As I was doing my fittings, and as they were seeing me, they all started canceling me," Evangelista recalled on the series. She said she only ended up doing four shows that year, but then her luck changed. Her open schedule allowed her to book a job with Vogue Italia to be photographed by Steven Meisel. She made the cover, which led to other Vogue features, and suddenly she was booked and busy. In fact, she said her rate quadrupled as she set a trend, leading women to ask their hairdressers for the short, androgynous cut dubbed "The Linda."
