Tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets across France on Tuesday, as unions and teachers joined high school students who for days have been demanding better learning conditions in protests punctuated by violent confrontations.
Students have blocked the entrances to hundreds of high schools for 15- to 17-year-olds since late September, complaining of missing teachers, overloaded timetables, dilapidated classrooms and buildings that cannot cope with rising temperatures.
Unions, rights groups and the children have accused the authorities of using disproportionate force -- a police stun grenade tore the hand off one teenager on Monday and another youngster had his teeth knocked out last week after police fired a grenade launcher at his head.
"I'm afraid for my future," Selma, 15, told AFP without giving her surname, among the thousands marching in the country's second largest city of Marseille.
The unrest has erupted with just months to go before the 2027 election to choose a successor to centrist President Emmanuel Macron, with far-right veteran candidate Marine Le Pen riding high in the polls despite a graft conviction.

It's been a disappointing couple of years for shareholders of biotechnology outfit CRISPR Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CRSP). This stock's barely up since the end of 2022, lagging the broad market's gains. It's not the performance that investors keeping tabs on this company were expecting, given its potential.
Don't be discouraged, though. While still speculative like most young biotech names, CRISPR Therapeutics remains a compelling prospect for investors who can stomach the risk and its inevitable volatility. Here's why.
Missed AI's "Act 1"? Act 2 Could Be 15x Bigger. Most investors think they missed the AI boat because they didn't buy Nvidia in 2005. But according to our **** ysts, we're only at the end of "Act 1"—the R&D phase. "Act 2" is the global rollout. Continue »
On the off-chance you're reading this and aren't already familiar with the company, CRISPR Therapeutics is a drug developer that specializes in gene editing.
It's probably an area you've heard a great deal about. No gene-editing drugs were actually on the market in the United States until CRISPR Therapeutics' Casgevy was approved by the FDA as a treatment for sickle cell disease in late 2023. Any and all gene therapies currently on the market followed this pioneer's foray. Being first is a well-deserved accolade for the company, too, which was co-founded by Dr. Emmanuelle Charpentier, who was one of the co-discoverers of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing mechanism that makes Casgevy work.

Lazio are eyeing a deal to bring Croatian midfielder Marcelo Brozović back to Serie A following the expiration of his contract with Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr.
The experienced midfielder spent eight years at Inter between 2015 and 2023, making over 300 appearances for the Nerazzurri, and according to Calciomercato.it, he is open to a return to Italian football.

Furthermore, the reports claim that Lazio head coach Gennaro Gattuso has specifically asked the upper management for a midfielder of similar qualities to Brozovic and the club are therefore considering a move.
After a slow start to the summer transfer window, Lazio accelerated their business in the closing stages of the market, securing deals for the likes of Albert Guðmundsson, Andrea Pinamonti, and Josip Šutalo.

On its face, France and India do not have much in common. France is a NATO ally; India has remained outside any alliance system. France had numerous colonies around the world and maintains relations with many of them since they achieved independence. India was not one of those countries — it was the jewel in the British crown.
Yet both states have a common self-perception as independent poles in a multipolar world.
Despite its membership of NATO, France's long-standing refusal to join NATO's nuclear planning group reflects both its determination to maintain the independence of its nuclear deterrent and policy of what president Emmanuel Macron calls "strategic autonomy." And he is extending a French nuclear umbrella to other European states.
India, like France, is a nuclear power. It too has long pursued an independent national security policy. New Delhi did have close military and economic relations with the Soviet Union and still is a major purchaser of Russian oil. Nevertheless, the former leader of the non-aligned group of nations has no formal alliances and does not seek any.
Although France and India have maintained good relations since India achieved independence in 1947, their ties reached a turning point in 1998. That was when India conducted five nuclear tests and Washington issued sanctions against India. France did not. Indeed, France upgraded its strategic relationship with India that year.

Cam Newton is calling out the commonality between Troy Aikman, Tom Brady, Cris Collinsworth, Kirk Herbstreit, Tony Romo, and J.J. Watt.
After Dan Le Batard highlighted the perpetual cycle of white guys getting most NFL broadcasting jobs, especially in primetime, Newton continued the conversation on his 4th & 1 show, wondering what metric networks use to hire ******* ysts.
"Is it the position you played? Is it your resume as a player?" Newton asked. "Or is it just the likability? Because if we're talking about how did Kirk Herbstreit get that deal? We know how Tom Brady got his deal. How does Tony Romo get his deal? We know how Troy Aikman got his deal. How does Cris Collinsworth get his deal? These are all mainstream color commentators that we see. We're seeing these faces, as if to say Charles Davis is not capable…RGIII is not capable. Jonathan Vilma, is he capable? Jason McCourty, is he capable?"
Newton went on to note Louis Riddick briefly had a primetime ******* yst role on Monday Night Football until ESPN tapped him on the shoulder to say Joe Buck and Troy Aikman were taking over. Newton also cited Nate Burleson and Michael Strahan as NFL players turned media personalities who are more than qualified to be a lead ******* yst on a primetime game.
"Do you not think Ryan Clark is capable? We've seen it," Newton continued. "Brandon Marshall, he's a sharp guy. You got a guy like Emmanuel Acho, who verbally, his vernacular can hold its own with whoever. Do you always have to be a quarterback? Well, J.J. Watt's not a quarterback. Luke Kuechly is not a quarterback. So what's the metric here?"

Kris Boyd has delivered a brutal verdict on the £2.5m Rangers centre-back after a shaky display against Falkirk, arguing that his uncertainty spread through the Rangers defence during Wednesday's 2-1 Premiership win.
The Glasgow Times reported Boyd's comments, made during Sky Sports coverage, after Emmanuel Fernandez endured a difficult night despite his side taking all three points. Boyd focused on the opening half incident that led to Falkirk's equaliser. Fernandez followed an opponent too far, went down looking for a foul and left ******* e behind him. Ethan Ross then delivered the cross, with Kosta Nedeljkovic turning it into his own net.
Boyd saw little excuse for Fernandez's decision-making. He pointed to a loose square pass after the interval, when Jacob Murrell intercepted inside the penalty area before Ivor Pandur rescued Rangers with a save.
He said: "There's a tug, but I'd be more disappointed that my centre-back goes in and attempts to tackle like that.
"It summed up Emmanuel Fernandez's first half. He was really, really sloppy with the ball. You speak about good players making the people around them better — he's the opposite.

Former NFL player Emmanuel Acho came to Tua Tagovailoa's defense after the Miami Dolphins quarterback became the subject of a social media controversy involving an alleged burner account. Acho urged critics to ease up, suggesting the situation may have been the result of someone close to the quarterback managing his online presence rather than Tagovailoa praising himself.
The controversy began after a social media account ******* ociated with Tagovailoa appeared to post supportive comments about the quarterback. Fans quickly questioned whether the Dolphins star was operating a burner account, creating another viral NFL discussion centered on athletes and their sometimes complicated relationship with social media.

Acho offered a different explanation for the unusual exchange. He suggested that a family member, possibly Tagovailoa's wife, could manage the quarterback's social media accounts and may have forgotten to switch back to a personal profile before posting praise.
The former NFL linebacker noted that athletes increasingly rely on relatives, representatives and other trusted people to help manage their social media activity. The arrangement can provide distance from criticism and online harassment, allowing players to protect their mental health while maintaining an active public presence.

King Charles and Queen Camilla attended a garden party marking the 125th anniversary of a charity organization, where the monarch met Pakistan's national cricket team while the Queen mingled with dancers. The outing also marked their first public appearance since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returned to the UK last month.
King Charles and Queen Camilla attended the Victoria League for Commonwealth Friendship's 125th anniversary. At Clarence House, the monarch also met Pakistan's national cricket team. On the other hand, Queen Camilla conversed with dancers from the Royal Academy of Dance at the London headquarters.
There, she met professionals from various classes, including those aged 55 and over, those undergoing cancer treatments, and people from underprivileged backgrounds. During her visit, she also handed over the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Award to Christopher Wheeldon, OBE.
Following their royal engagements, they then headed to the British Museum, where they were also joined by French President Emmanuel Macron and first lady Brigitte Macron. Moreover, U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham and his wife, Marie-France van Heel, were also present at the museum.
In this visit, they viewed the Bayeux Tapestry, which showcases the Norman conquest of England. The tapestry was loaned to the UK for the first time since its creation, and in exchange, the country promised to send some national treasures to France (via PEOPLE).

King Charles has been as busy as usual on Wednesday with the monarch returning to work following the summer break and the return of his son, Prince Harry.
After hosting a garden party and meeting with members of the Pakistani cricket team, Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla, joined Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron, the President and First Lady of France, at the British Museum.
The group, who were also accompanied by British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, all headed out to view the Bayeux Tapestry after it was temporarily loaned to Britain. They enjoyed a private viewing of the iconic artwork before an exhibition at the museum opens to the public on 10 September.
While Charles and Emmanuel looked smart in their suits, their glamorous wives stole the show as they arrived in stylish, matching white dresses.

ESPN's NFL Live will have some new competition this season, or maybe it's old competition depending on how you look at it.
Front Office Sports reported Trey Wingo is getting the band back together, launching a new NFL show and YouTube channel with former ESPN colleagues Merril Hoge, Mark Schlereth, and Damien Woody. The OG Football Crew will debut with a NFL season preview Sept. 7, with the show continuing through the Super Bowl.
Wingo teased the idea a few weeks ago, quoting a social media post praising Hoge by saying, "What if I told you. We were putting the band back together?" It became clear Wingo was being serious about the idea when he added "stay tuned" with a link to his YouTube channel. Two weeks later, the idea seems to be coming to fruition just in time for the NFL regular season.
According to Front Office Sports, The OG Football Crew featuring a cast of former NFL Live contributors will air on YouTube every Monday to recap four NFL games from the previous day. Like NFL Live, Wingo will anchor the show with Hoge, Schlereth, and Woody contributing as ******* ysts.
The old guard of NFL Live was pitted against the new guard earlier this summer when Emmanuel Acho claimed Ryan Clark "built" the show "into the juggernaut it is today" after he was controversially laid off by ESPN. Acho added "nobody was watching NFL Live" when it premiered in 1998. The ESPN studio show might have a larger audience and following today than it did in earlier years, but it's ridiculous to claim "nobody was watching." The silly take received plenty of pushback from ex-NFL Live hosts, all who deserve credit for building the show into the juggernaut it is today.

The Seattle Seahawks made the somewhat surprising decision to not just release veteran wide receiver Cody White, but to not even retain him on the practice squad like has been the norm over the past couple of seasons. We now know that the next chapter of White's career will be with his former Seahawks offensive coordinator.
White has signed with the Las Vegas Raiders practice squad, which will reunite him with new Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak.
The Raiders have scarcely looked at signing available former Seahawks players, but now they have Cody on the practice squad and free agent signing Dareke Young on their 53-man active roster. If you've taken a look at the Raiders' receiver depth chart, there is a more viable path to game day elevations if not an outright promotion to the active roster for Cody. White joins the waiver-claimed Jared Ivey as the first two Seahawks roster cuts confirmed to be heading elsewhere this season.
White was in competition with Ricky White III, Montorie Foster Jr, and Emmanuel Henderson Jr for the bottom-end of Seattle's wide receiver depth chart. With Jake Bobo out for the year, there figured to be a reasonable chance that Cody would either be on the active roster or signed back to Seattle's practice squad. The fact that neither happened is yet another strong endorsement for the rise of Foster, who appeared to separate himself pretty clearly from Ricky White and Henderson throughout camp and preseason.
We'll always have this moment, Cody White! And you've got a ring as a result.

White has signed with the Las Vegas Raiders practice squad, which will reunite him with new Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak.
The Raiders have scarcely looked at signing available former Seahawks players, but now they have Cody on the practice squad and free agent signing Dareke Young on their 53-man active roster.

First Pitch (CT): 6:40 PM

Know Yo' Foe: Bless You Boys
The Twins' postseason hopes aren't dead yet, but a disastrous 8-17 August has put them firmly as a long shot. They are only four games out of a playoff spot, but teams like the Guardians, Blue Jays, and Orioles are trending in the right direction while the Twins and Mariners fade out of the picture.
At this point, the Twins need to pivot to 2027 evaluation mode and if a few bonus wins come, all the better. Walker Jenkins and Kaelen Culpepper should be in the lineup nearly every day from here on out, Gabriel Gonzalez should see every possible PA against lefties, and Emmanuel Rodriguez and Alan Roden likely need to start taking playing time away from Trevor Larnach and Josh Bell when rosters expand tomorrow.
Part of the issue recent Twins teams have run into is simply not knowing whether certain young players are truly ready to take on a bigger role, and they can't afford that heading into 2027 on a team in need of upgrades in both the lineup and pitching staff.
Speaking of pitching, after 2027, Joe Ryan, Pablo Lopez, Dean Kremer, and Bailey Ober are all free agents. Connor Prielipp and Zebby Matthews have shown flashes of brilliance this season, while Mick Abel and Kendry Rojas will be back from injury with nothing left to prove in AAA, to say nothing of pitching prospects like Riley Quick, Ryan Gallagher, and Adrian Bohorquez who will likely be ready at different points next season. Jeremy Zoll and Co. will need to sort through who of that group is worth keeping, who should be traded, who could thrive in the bullpen, and who (looking at you, Ober) maybe shouldn't be tendered a contract at all.

It was a bit of a surprise when the Seahawks waived wide receiver and return man Emmanuel Henderson yesterday, as he was a sixth-round pick who looked good in the preseason. But Henderson remains in the Seahawks' plans.
Henderson cleared waivers today, and the Seahawks are planning to bring him back to the practice squad.
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said during the preseason that he wanted Henderson thinking about being a great NFL wide receiver and an All-Pro kick returner. The Seahawks love his potential, even if they don't think he's ready to contribute in Week One.
Henderson is accustomed to having to bide his time before making a big contribution: He spent three years at Alabama but didn't get on the field much before transferring to Kansas last year. In his one year at Kansas, Henderson was chosen by the Big 12 coaches as a first-team All-Big 12 returner and a third-team All-Big 12 receiver. Now the Seahawks will hope Henderson can once again take some time to develop and turn into a significant contributor.

The NFL's waiver claims period has passed, which means teams can start forming their practice squads. For the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, they were not awarded any players off waivers, but they did end up losing one player they might have been hoping to sneak through.
Defensive lineman Jared Ivey, who stayed on Seattle's active roster as an undrafted rookie throughout last year, was claimed by the Atlanta Falcons. Ivey started out as a big edge rusher, but spent a good chunk of training camp and preseason getting work as a more traditional interior defensive lineman.
It's worth noting that the Seahawks were last in the waiver wire order, so if they had interest in any of the 28 non-Seahawks players claimed, they might have been out of luck just by being at the back of the line.
The good news for Seattle is that Michael Dansby, Andre Fuller, Deven Eastern, and Emmanuel Henderson Jr, all players whom they drafted this year but ultimately waived during roster cuts, cleared waivers and are now eligible to sign with the practice squad right this minute.

Compared to last year's initial 53-man roster, the Jacksonville Jaguars have a number of newcomers on this year's initial 53.
The first change is at the quarterback position, with Quinn Ewers now listed as the backup, whereas last season it was Nick Mullens. With the departure of Travis Etienne Jr, the running back room has also changed with additions Chris Rodriguez and Ameer Abdullah.
At wide receiver, Jakobi Meyers was not on the initial roster last season because Jacksonville traded for him mid-season. Besides Meyers, there are two other additions in the wide receiver room - CJ Williams and Josh Cameron. Williams and Cameron are both rookies the Jaguars drafted in the sixth round.
The tight end position is also much different. Jacksonville had three tight ends last year, and Brenton Strange is the only one of those three who is still on the roster. The Jaguars now have four tight ends, with their three new additions being Nate Boerkircher, Tanner Koziel, and Quintin Morris. Boerkircher was the Jaguars' second-round pick in this most recent draft, while Koziel was a fifth-rounder. Morris started last season on Jacksonville's practice squad but was later elevated to the active roster and played in 14 games last season.
On the offensive line, there are two new additions - rookie third-round pick Emmanuel Pregnon, who is expected to be the starting left guard, and Daniel Faalele, who spent the past four years with the Baltimore Ravens and is expected to be a depth piece for the Jaguars.

Emmanuel Christian volleyball players get together for an overnight outing to create memories while occasionally missing out on some sleep in the process.
That sleepiness has not been enough to keep down the play of Macey Hudson.
Hudson is a junior volleyball player at Emmanuel Christian. In a recent match against Northeastern on Aug. 22, she had 27 kills and 25 digs in a four-set victory for the Lions.
For her efforts, Hudson was named the Dayton Daily News Athlete of the Week, presented by Orthopaedic Institute of Dayton, for Aug. 17-23, earning the honor through reader voting at DaytonDailyNews.com.
"I have had people from our school get nominated and I thought it was really cool, and to have myself get nominated for it was just really an honor," Hudson said.

CLEVELAND — Last summer, the Guardians found themselves embroiled in one of the wildest storylines around baseball, as closer Emmanuel Clase and starter Luis Ortiz were placed on leave for their alleged roles in a gambling scheme.
It's possible the Guardians might end up being involved in one of the oddest stories around the league in 2026 as well.
Major League Baseball reportedly opened an investigation and then suspended a sought-after Dominican prospect for an alleged scheme that included a fake name, age, birth certificate and even gravestone in order to falsify his identity and make him appear to be younger, according to an ESPN report.
David Severino was purportedly a switch-hitting infielder around the age of 14. He reportedly agreed to a $2.8 million deal with the Guardians that would be finalized in 2029, when he'd turn 17 and be eligible to sign.
But, it turns out his real name is Daury David Severino Damaso, and he's actually 16 years old, according to the reported investigation. Allegedly, with the consent of his parents and with the help of a trainer, the identity of David Severino Damaso was created to appear to be Daury's younger brother. A fake, late-filed birth registration was made under that name, along with falsified medical records.

The Twins have officially selected the contract of top prospect Walker Jenkins, who will make his long-awaited MLB debut on Friday night at Target Field against the Chicago White Sox.
Interestingly, the corresponding roster move was to option outfielder Alan Roden back to Triple-A St. Paul. What that means, at least for now, is that Byron Buxton isn't going back to the injured list after aggravating his hip injury on Tuesday in Sacramento.
Saints reliever Woo-Suk Go was designated for **** ignment to make room for Jenkins on the Twins' 40-man roster.
Roden was one of the two players the Twins got back from the Blue Jays in last summer's already-infamous Louis Varland trade. The 26-year-old hasn't yet proven to be anything more than a "Quad-A" player. He had a .909 OPS in 33 games for St. Paul this year but has a .647 OPS with no home runs in 79 plate appearances for the 2026 Twins.
Dating back to his time with the Blue Jays, Roden has a career .915 OPS in 136 Triple-A games and a .586 OPS in 232 MLB PAs. The Twins aren't necessarily giving up on him, but it's hard to see how he fits into their future plans with Jenkins and Emmanuel Rodriguez penciled in as long-term outfield options.

A Florida high school football player has been held on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) hold for over a week, as first reported by TCPalm, part of the USA TODAY Network.
Emmanuel Nelson, an 18-year-old senior at Port St. Lucie High School, was driving a silver Toyota SUV when he was pulled over for going 45 mph in a 20-mph school zone, according to St. Lucie County court records obtained by USA TODAY. He received a citation for unlawful speed in a school zone on Wednesday, Aug. 19.
According to the police report, which was obtained by USA TODAY on Aug. 27, in the midst of the traffic stop, the officer ran Nelson's driver's license, which revealed he wasn't a U.S. citizen and that his working permits had expired. Nelson is originally from Haiti.
Because Nelson is a documented non-U.S. citizen, the officer contacted ICE, which placed a detainer on Nelson to determine where he should be placed into deportation proceedings. He was then arrested in handcuffs and transported to the St. Lucie County jail, where he was held for a week before being transferred to ICE custody in Broward County, where he remains as of this publication.
"It's just been a weird situation for the whole team, and it's not just for me," Port St. Lucie head coach Everette Alford told TCPalm. "All of his best friends are out there on the field, and they're missing him."

Chelsea's Carabao Cup campaign begins at Stamford Bridge on Thursday against a Luton Town side still chasing a repeat of their sole major trophy, the 1988 League Cup.
History is firmly against the visitors: Luton have been eliminated in eight of their last nine EFL Cup ties against Premier League opposition, while Chelsea have advanced from 27 of their last 28 EFL Cup ties against sides from outside the top flight, a run stretching back to a penalty-shootout exit to Burnley in November 2008.
Luton head into the match unbeaten across three fixtures this season, coming from behind to beat Reading 4-3 on the opening weekend before a 2-2 draw with newly-promoted Notts County and a 3-0 win over Gillingham in the first round. Chelsea, by contrast, are still finding their feet under Xabi Alonso, whose competitive debut brought a 3-2 win at Fulham three days earlier. Thursday offers the new head coach an early look at squad depth before a testing run of fixtures ahead.
Date: Thursday, 27 August 2026Kick-off: 19:30 BSTVenue: Stamford BridgeReferee: Elliot BellLast meeting: Luton Town 2-3 Chelsea, Premier League, 30 December 2023
Jordan Henderson (wrist) and Emmanuel Emegha (hamstring) remain sidelined, and Wesley Fofana is suspended, serving the second of a two-match ban carried over from a red card against Sunderland last season. Moises Caicedo and Marco Palestra both missed the win at Fulham after picking up injuries in training and remain doubts, with Caicedo more likely to return for the weekend. Alonso is expected to make wholesale changes and could hand full debuts to several summer signings.

The Jacksonville Jaguars' offensive line unit took its lumps during Tuesday's joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, specifically in pass protection.
John Shipley of Jaguars on SI put together his good and not-so-good from the practice, and in the latter category was the offensive line's play in pass pro.
Shipley noted that the Bucs' defensive front was generating pressure from "a few different spots." In a separate article, Shipley noted that Reuben Bain Jr. found his share of success against the Jaguars' tackles not named Anton Harrison.
From the Jaguars' perspective, hopefully this was just a down day against a stout Bucs' pass rush and not a sign of what's to come this season.
Jacksonville has been getting healthier up front and potentially had their Week 1 offensive line configuration on the field. This unit consisted of Harrison at left tackle, followed by Emmanuel Pregnon, Robert Hainsey, Ezra Cleveland, and Walker Little, according to Shipley.

Seahawks rookie receiver Emmanuel Henderson was a sixth-round pick, which means he has to compete just to make the roster. But head coach Mike Macdonald wants Henderson thinking about a lot more than just making the roster.
Macdonald said after Sunday night's preseason game, in which Henderson caught one pass, returned to kickoffs, and was a gunner on punts, that he wants Henderson to fulfill his potential, which should mean a lot more than just making a team.
Asked whether special teams is the reason Henderson is in Seattle, Macdonald answered, "It's one of the reasons, for sure, but why stop there?"
"That's the stuff that really popped, and gets you excited from his college tape, the return game," Macdonald said. "He should be trying to be an All-Pro returner, too. He should be thinking of being a great receiver in our league as well."
Henderson spent three years at Alabama but didn't get on the field much before transferring to Kansas last year. In his one year at Kansas, Henderson was chosen by the Big 12 coaches as a first-team All-Big 12 returner and a third-team All-Big 12 receiver. Macdonald thinks Henderson has just scratched the surface of what he can do.
