TOKYO (AP) — Record-breaking rainfall flooded cities east of Tokyo overnight, killing at least five people, injuring over two dozen others and stranding thousands, authorities said Friday.
As the deluge subsided, the **** an Meteorological Agency downgraded its most severe heavy-rain warning in more than a dozen municipalities in the prefecture of Chiba while forecasting more rain later Friday.
The prefecture saw unprecedented rainfall levels Thursday, with 1.5 centimeters (4.5 inches) in just one hour in Chiba City and 9.7 centimeters (3.8 inches) fell in one hour in the city of Sakura, JMA said.
Photos and television footage showed widespread damage, with homes, cars and parts of railway tracks filled with muddy water. Roads and dozens of homes were also flooded and some areas remained without power.
Chiba prefecture officials said the five deaths included a man found floating on a flooded road in Ichikawa city and a woman who had been stuck in a flooded car in Sakura. Two others were presumed dead after being pulled from flooded cars in the cities of Kashiwa and Chiba.

Detroit – Couldn't catch them. Not in the standings, not in either of the first two games.
The Central Division-leading Chicago White Sox, for the second straight game, jumped on the Tigers early and didn't relent, taking the second game of the series Saturday, 4-3, in front of another big crowd (33,119) at Comerica Park.
The loss drops the Tigers 4.5 games back.
The White Sox broke a 3-3 tie in the seventh with an RBI single by Andrew Benintendi on a ball that deflected off diving shortstop Kevin McGonigle's glove.
The White Sox, after banging out 14 hits and four homers Friday night, flooded the bases again with 12 hits. They had a runner at second base and no outs in five of the first seven innings, including the seventh when right-handed pinch-hitter Randal Grichuk doubled off lefty Drew Sommers.

Milan legend Roberto Donadoni reveals how he would've dealt with Rafael Leao in the dressing room. 'I'd grab him by the dreadlocks every now and then.'
The winger is looking to leave the club this summer, insisting that he is ready to move beyond the Rossoneri, but in turn the fans are frustrated with his inconsistent performances.

That is also why the expected big offers have not flooded in this summer, as only Turkish teams like Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Besiktas have made genuine approaches, and none are prepared to pay the €50m plus add-ons asking price.
MilanNews turned to club legend Donadoni to ask how he would've dealt with a teammate like Rafael Leao, and the response was not positive.

Social media has recently been flooded with clips of pro athletes lamenting that their multimillion-dollar contracts don't go as far as people think. While such complaints can be easy to dunk on, the underlying point is important. The problem is the messenger.
The recent wave may have started with resurfaced clips of JJ Redick, one from February 2024 and another from March 2024, explaining how taxes and other costs can dramatically reduce a player's take-home pay.
"I think people should listen, because they're telling the truth," Chris Bosh recently told Front Office Sports. "And it's really interesting how people don't want to listen to that, but if I told you that player X is signing a three-year, $150 million deal, you'll believe it. It's not $150 million. That's what they're trying to get people to understand."
Financial advisors who work with athletes say the public often overestimates how wealthy professional athletes actually are, especially given taxes, short careers, and, in some cases, financial mismanagement.
"The general public ******* umption—which is that if you make it to the pros you are set for life—is far from true," says Perigon Wealth Management's head of sports and entertainment Marc Specht.

Baseball fans in Greenville were in for a wild night on Wednesday. They witnessed a home run and a full-fledged brawl within a matter of seconds. During Greenville Drive's victory over the Hub City Spartanburgers, a home run celebration by one of the Red Sox's top prospects sparked a benches-clearing brawl as players from both teams clashed on the field. The 19-year-old Red Sox prospect was eventually ejected from the game.
"Red Sox #3 prospect Justin Gonzales got ejected for slapping the catcher after his home run," Jomboy Media captioned their X post.
Against Hub City, Gonzales drove in the winning runs with a massive three-run blast. He came to bat with Greenville already leading and extended it to 13-6. After launching his 13 homer of the season, Gonzales took his time around the bases while admiring his shot. As he crossed home plate, catcher Cal Stark threw some words in Gonzales' way, which clearly did not sit well with the young outfielder.
Teammates rushed in to hold him back, but keeping the 6-foot-5, 210-pound Gonzales in check was easier said than done. Even the umpires were reduced to mere spectators as Gonzales broke free and slapped Stark's mask, which absorbed most of the impact of the slap.
As the incident unfolded, both teams flooded the field, and the heat of the moment was hard to miss. Meanwhile, Gonzales' Greenville teammates struggled to get him away from the field and inside the dugout.

NEW YORK, July 22 (Reuters) - Many patients have opted for injectable forms of the wildly popular GLP-1 obesity medications through a pilot program of the U.S. government's Medicare health insurance program for Americans aged 65 and older, according to early indications from doctors and ‌analysts.
The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services this month launched an 18-month trial program that for the first time opens access to Novo Nordisk's Wegovy and ‌Eli Lilly's Foundayo and Zepbound as weight-loss treatment alone for a monthly cost of $50.
Millions of people are expected to qualify, and doctors are already being flooded with interest from patients aged 65 and older. For the most part, they say the process is going well — with some hiccups.
Many pharmaceutical industry experts had expected that patients would prefer pills over injections, for convenience. Novo's U.S. chief Jamey Millar in June said the firm's research indicated that Medicare beneficiaries prefer the oral pill to the injectable on a two-to-one basis.

A night to remember, and these videos are the visual proof.

The Colombian football federation has condemned death threats directed at midfielder Jaminton Campaz and his family following the national team's elimination from the World Cup.
Colombia's tournament ended in a penalty shootout loss to Switzerland in the round of 16. During extra time, Campaz - who plays for Argentine club Rosario Central - missed a critical scoring opportunity when his shot went wide.
After the match, the player's social media accounts were flooded with negative comments and threats. He decided to limit comments on his social media and, as a precaution, did not take the return flight to his home country with his teammates.
"No athlete, nor any member of their inner circle, should be subjected to intimidation for representing their country in a sporting arena," the federation said in a statement.
On Instagram, Campaz shared a photo of himself covering his face in frustration, alongside a plea for respect.

A recent appearance by Queen Camilla alongside J.K. Rowling has sparked strong reactions online. The photo, taken at an event to promote the importance of reading, was shared by The Royal Family on social media. Supporters of the women praised the collaboration, while critics questioned the Queen's decision to pose with the author amid the ongoing controversy surrounding Rowling's public views.
On June 30, the last day of Pride Month, the Royal Family social media accounts posted a photo of Queen Camilla smiling for the camera alongside controversial Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.
It was taken at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, Scotland, where an event was held to discuss the women's shared support for literacy and "commitment to children reading for pleasure." As the caption noted, "Her Majesty and Ms Rowling discussed the importance of ensuring that young people have access to books and the vital part reading plays in opening doors for future generations."
Although the meeting was meant to highlight reading, many online users criticized Camilla for **** ociating with Rowling, whose past comments about transgender issues generated intense public debate.
The comments section flooded with comments, many expressing disappointment and anger over Camilla and Rowling's collaboration. "As an admirer of the Queen and her Reading Room I'm deeply disappointed in her giving a platform to JKR, any month but especially during Pride Month," one user wrote, adding that the Queen could have chosen other "admirable individuals" for her cause.

New York Knicks fans flooded the streets of lower Manhattan on Thursday for the first championship parade in franchise history. And just as they did throughout the playoffs, many of the team's celebrity fans turned out to celebrate their 2026 NBA **** le — and the end of a 53-year championship drought.
Among the luminaries were Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor, Timothée Chalamet, Tracy Morgan, Chris Rock, Mariska Hargitay, Edie Falco, Jon Stewart, Martha Stewart, Steve Schirripa, Matthew Modine, Teyana Taylor and Ja Rule.
Some took part in the parade itself as passengers on the dozens of floats that made their way along the Canyon of Heroes to City Hall.
Stiller, who is directing an HBO documentary series about the Knicks, was on one.
Chalamet — who like Stiller attended all five games of the NBA Finals, including three in San Antonio — led parade-goers in a "Let's Go Knicks" chant atop one of the double-decker buses.

Tech stocks 8 on Thursday as blowout Micron (MU) earnings helped boost sagging confidence in the AI trade and offset a fresh inflation report that showed prices rising again in May.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) shot up 0.9%, while the S&P 500 (^GSPC) rose 0.8%, following several tough days for Wall Street stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI), which includes fewer tech names, climbed 0.7%.

The ETF industry is only gaining momentum, with over 5,400 ETFs trading and $1 trillion in flows notched at nearly the halfway point of 2026. Tune into the conversation with this week's Zoo crew that covers thematic and leveraged ETF flows, ****** eX ETF controversies, and more. Host Dave Nadig, President & Director of Research at ETF.com is joined this week by freelancer Lara Crigger; Mike Akins, founding partner of ETF Action; and Todd Sohn, Senior ETF & Technical Strategist at Strategas Securities.
ETF Flows Hit Historic Milestone The ETF industry crossed $1 trillion in net inflows before the halfway point of the year, a pace that stunned even the most seasoned veterans on this week's ETF Zoo. While eye-catching money has flooded into leveraged, inverse, and options-income products, the bulk of ****** ets continue flowing into low-cost, broad-market index funds. Vanguard has claimed the top spot in the ETF league table for the first time, while firms like Schwab, Fidelity, and a new wave of active managers are reshaping the competitive landscape below them.
The ****** eX ETF Controversy Raises Red Flags Defiance quietly amended the prospectus for its fund SPCL just two days before the ****** eX IPO, pivoting the fund's entire investment strategy from a broad ****** e-themed basket to a single-stock focus — without any obligation to notify shareholders. The fund traded for roughly two hours before being halted, pulling in strong inflows during that window as retail investors scrambled to find a way to access ****** eX stock on its first day of trading.
Thematic ETFs Are Promising More Than They Deliver The thematic ETF ****** e is approaching 400 funds and $300 billion in ****** ets, yet over 60% of those funds carry a Sharpe ratio below 1.0, meaning most are delivering poor risk-adjusted returns. The category is further muddied by inconsistent construction, with funds sharing the same "AI" or technology label holding wildly different underlying stocks, leaving advisors and investors struggling to compare or deploy them effectively.
AI and Structural Shifts Are Accelerating an Already Crowded Market Issuers are increasingly turning to AI to draft ETF prospectuses, slashing filing costs by as much as 80% and raising real questions about the depth of review going into each new product. With 5,400 ETFs already on the market and filings accelerating, the Zoo crew warned that market makers may eventually struggle to provide adequate liquidity across such a sprawling product landscape. Broader structural questions around share class conversions, leveraged product proliferation, and the limits of the ETF wrapper itself are all converging at once, suggesting the industry's next chapter may be defined as much by growing pains as by growth.

A barge of Miller Lite beer docked in the port of Miami ahead of tonight’s World Cup showdown between Scotland and Brazil. Call it a floating advertisement or call it a godsend; however you want to look at it, fans in Florida will surely put the resupply to good use.
Between 10,000 and 20,000 Scottish soccer fans — otherwise known as the Tartan Army — have descended upon Miami for a much-anticipated match at the Hard Rock Stadium. Videos circulating online show flags, bagpipers and kilts galore marching through the streets of the Magic City as Scotland prepares to face off against the most successful national team in FIFA World Cup history.
Locals are already anticipating a booze shortage, and for good reason. Following Scotland’s 1-0 victory over Haiti last week, Boston bars and convenience stores were flooded with unprecedented demand that left many scrambling to restock. According to the Boston Beer Company, fans consumed roughly four times the amount of Samuel Adams beer compared to a typical four-day holiday weekend, forcing the brand to arrange an emergency lager delivery.
From the looks of it, Miller Lite sensed an opportunity in the making.
On Tuesday, the brand announced it was sending a barge complete with beer, bagpipers and a freight container decorated with the slogan “Restock the Scots.” The shipment was accompanied by a Miller Lite-branded pontoon, on which Scottish artist and former professional footballer Craig Black sailed into the city.

New York Knicks fans flooded the streets of lower Manhattan on Thursday for the first championship parade in franchise history.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been considered an all-time footballer for well over a decade, but he’s getting a refresher course on “heavy is the head that wears the crown” at the 2026 FIFA men’s World Cup.
Ronaldo, 41, and Argentina’s Lionel Messi, 38, are appearing in their sixth World Cup this summer — the only two men to accomplish that feat. It should be a cherry on top to still be able to watch them play, but that’s sadly not how it works when you’re in the GOAT conversation.
And it’s definitely not how it works when you look like Portugal did last week.
Ronaldo and Portugal slogged to a 1-1 draw with Congo DR on June 17, and Ronaldo shouldered the blame for holding an extremely talented Portuguese side back. There were calls for Ronaldo’s benching, and even the great Thierry Henry called him out for a selfish approach.
Ronaldo fans, or Instagram accounts claiming to be Ronaldo fans, flooded Portugal players’ comments sections with demands to pass the ball to Ronaldo and other inappropriate claims.

Linda Nosková surprised Jessica Pegula to win the Berlin Tennis Open grass event 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 on Sunday following a severe thunderstorm and a big delay.
Lightning, high winds and torrential rain led to the Berlin venue being evacuated before the final, which eventually started five hours late.
Organizers said they were prepared for the forecast weather and took precautionary measures but that "the intensity and speed of the storm made additional actions necessary at very short notice."
The deluged ground took time to drain and infrastructure needed fixing after high winds at the Steffi Graf Stadium. A tunnel leading to a nearby railway station was also flooded.
But Czech eighth seed Nosková initially coped with the chaos better and raced to a 3-0 lead before wrapping up the first set.

Boston is preparing itself for a baby boom of little Scots in nine months after American women declared their "faith in men has been restored" by the city's wave of celebrating Scotland supporters.
The Tartan Army flooded into the Massachusetts capital to witness Scotland's first World Cup appearance in 28 years. And their impact extended far beyond the field. While the squad delivered their part with a 1-0 triumph over Haiti, the supporters were equally busy making waves in the city's nightlife venues.
Hundreds of Boston women took to TikTok with clips of themselves drinking, dancing, and partying alongside kilt-wearing Scots. One blonde arranged a date night, encouraging Scots to head to a bar where 100 single American women were waiting to meet them.

Scotland's final 2026 FIFA World Cup match in Foxborough is here — and the energy from the "Tartan Army" has turned into a story that's captured national attention.
Over the past two weeks, Scottish fans have flooded the area, packing stadiums, filling bars, and embracing the local community. From kilts to chants echoing through the streets, many say it's created a unique bond between Boston and Scotland — one that fans will be sad to see end.
Players from Morocco arrived in the Boston area on Wednesday, landing at Hanscom Air Force Base. Team Scotland has been in town since last week, having played in the first World Cup game in Foxborough on Saturday, when they defeated Haiti 1-0. Morocco played to a 1-1 draw against powerhouse Brazil on Saturday as well.
On Friday night, Scotland faces Morocco at Boston Stadium, with kickoff set for 6 p.m.

Thomas Muller only wanted to get to soccer training in New York, but the New York Knicks’ championship parade made him an accidental part of the celebration.
The German soccer star was in the city as Knicks fans flooded Lower Manhattan for the franchise’s first NBA ****** le parade in more than five decades.
What should have been a simple bike ride quickly turned into a reminder of how completely the parade had taken over the city. Thomas Muller found the funny side of it.
Muller’s video showed him trying to move through New York while the Knicks celebration filled the streets around him.
“I wanted to go to my training session today, to the soccer field, took the bike, but I don’t know why, but I struggled a little bit,” Muller said.
