Atlético de Madrid have officially announced Diego Pablo Simeone's squad for the trip to Germany. The Rojiblancos face VfB Stuttgart in a decisive match on the third matchday of the UEFA Champions League league phase, with the Argentine coach taking a squad offering a range of tactical options.
The main news in Atlético's travelling squad is the return of Johnny Cardoso. The midfielder is back after missing the last league fixture against Espanyol through injury, providing a key defensive option to strengthen the midfield against the German side.
As for absentees, alongside captain Koke Resurrección, Cuti Romero will also be unavailable, joining Atlético's injury list for this Champions League clash. The defender has a muscle problem and will not be available to Simeone.
In goal, Jan Oblak heads a list of goalkeepers that also includes Juan Musso and academy product Salvador Esquivel. Meanwhile, the defensive options include Dávid Hancko, Marc Pubill, Robin Le Normand and Alejandro Grimaldo, who will underpin the structure set out by the coaching staff.
The squad is rounded out by creative talents such as Álex Baena, Lee Kang-in and Morten Hjulmand, alongside an attacking line led by Julián Álvarez, Alexander Sørloth and Giuliano Simeone. With this squad, Atlético will look to secure three vital points at the Neckarstadion.

Caleb Williams' injury return proves Bears can still win NFC North despite debacles vs. Packers, Vikings appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Coach Ben Johnson's Chicago Bears got back on the winning track with a 31-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium that had coach Ben Johnson breaking out a new dance move. Williams broke a Bears record held by Mitchell Trubisky as he lit up the scoreboard against Kevin Stefanski's Dirty Birds.
Now 4-2 on the season, the Bears are firmly in the NFC North Division chase alongside three potential playoff teams: the undefeated Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions.
Things looked grim after a 31-7 waxing at the hands of the Packers in Week 5, but the Bears are back in business after Williams' latest gem of a performance. A Thursday Night Football game against the Patriots could be just the stage Williams and the Bears need to show they are serious about contending for a Super Bowl again.

Well, there's not much to say about this lineup. David Peterson throws with his left hand. The Braves don't have Lane Thomas on hand anymore, so it's basically your standard lineup with Sean Murphy and Ha-Seong Kim bringing up the rear.
This is the same lineup the Braves used in what ended up being that 12-2 game against the Phillies. Given that Peterson probably won't last long given his inefficiency, the Braves may be hoping for a similar result.
I guess I'll talk about Ozzie Albies. He's hitting cleanup for the 21st time this season. His season is basically tanking. He started out with a near-.400 wOBA in April while running an average xwOBA, had a poor May, an okay-ish June, and then ran another huge xwOBA overperformance on a bad xwOBA in July. Since then, it's been absolutely grim. In August, he had a .275 wOBA and .283 xwOBA. In September, he's down to a .212 wOBA and .218 xwOBA. As has also been the case for a while, Albies is no longer terrorizing lefties. In his first seven seasons, he had five where he hit lefties super-well, and one of the ones where he didn't was a tiny-sample 2020 where he was hurt. In both 2024 and 2025, his xwOBA against lefties dwindled to an okay .325ish. This year? He's down to .282. He's only posted an xwOBA at or above .300 against lefties this season in April and July. In September so far, it's .171. There's not really that much time for Albies to change the script of his season, but this is a really disappointing follow-up to 2025 and it's going to be the third straight year where Albies turns in an underwhelming season.
Anyway, should we do batter versus pitcher while waiting for the Cubs to post their lineup? Sure, I guess. These guys are very familiar with Peterson, after all. Amazingly, neither Drake Baldwin nor Mauricio Dubon have ever faced Peterson, and Kim only has four PAs against him, but everyone else has somewhere between 12 and 30. Ronald Acuña Jr. and Matt Olson have destroyed Peterson in their careers, and Riley's been fine, but everyone else has struggled a bit. Add this all up, and you get a .318 wOBA and .347 xwOBA in 141 career head-to-head PAs.
As for the Cubs, well…

This weekend marks a solemn anniversary in our nation's history. 25 years ago on September 11, 2001, the United States was attacked by terrorists that hijacked commercial airlines and flew them into both towers of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. On Saturday, both the Texas Longhorns and Ohio State Buckeyes will honor that tragedy on their helmets.
It has been called this generation's Pearl Harbor. 9/11 is a day that everyone remembers exactly what they were doing when they found out America had been attacked. 2,977 died as a result of the terrorist attacks. The horrific memories are vivid even now. Every year, there are remembrances on the anniversary. But this year is different. 25 years is a grim milestone of morning that changed the world forever.
Remembering those we lost, and those who answered the call#NeverForget pic.twitter.com/8QXhqaPFwB
Texas and Ohio State will wear commemorative decals on their helmets to honor the victims and first responders that America lost on that day. 441 emergency workers died on 9/11, making it the largest loss of first responders in a single day in U.S. history.
We will never forget those whose lives were lost on September 11th, 2001.

Tomorrow, we’ll wear these decals in remembrance and honor of their memory. 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/FuPSLpqN14

Cooper Rush is about as good of a third quarterback as you'll find in today's NFL, and is certainly one of the most experienced. That said, when you're staring down the barrel of starting your QB3 in Week 1 of the NFL season, something has gone terribly awry.
We'll get more updates tomorrow, but that seems like a real possibility after Tua Tagovailoa left practice today with what the injury report classified as an oblique injury. He was listed as a limited participant—because he did participate before he got injured!—but we have no idea how significant that injury is at this point.
11Alive's Reggie Chatman Jr. got footage of the injury and aftermath.
If Tua's fine, he's starting against the Steelers in Week 1. If not, Cooper Rush will take the start with Jack Strand as his backup, and it would not be stunning to see the increasingly snakebitten Falcons adding another veteran quarterback to the practice squad. Things are getting real grim, real fast.
If Rush is up, he'll be making his 17th career start. He's completed 364 of 596 passes for 3,766 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions with 62 rushing attempts for 20 yards. The Falcons will be a little more likely to attack downfield with Rush under center in theory, but in practice I imagine he'll get an ultra-conservative gameplan that features a lot of Bijan Robinson.

Lyft Inc (NASDAQ:LYFT) is slightly lower this afternoon, down 0.2% at $14.86. Heading for a fifth-straight daily drop, the Uber Technologies (UBER) rival is trading near its late-July lows, sporting a grim 23.3% year-to-date deficit. All may not be lost, however, as this pullback looks to be placing Lyft stock near a trendline with historically bullish implications.
According to Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative ****** yst Rocky White, LYFT shares are within 0.75 of their 126-day moving average's 20-day average true range (ATR), after remaining below it 80% of the time in the past two weeks and in 80% of the last 42 trading sessions.
This signal has occurred five times in the last 10 years, after which Lyft stock was higher one month later 60% of the time, averaging a 9.4% gain. From its current perch, a surge of this magnitude would put the shares back above the $16 area.
Put traders have been circling, per LYFT's 10-day put/call volume ratio at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), which stands higher than 76% of all other readings from the past year. Echoing this, the stock's Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR) of ranks higher than all other readings from the past 12 months. Should this bearish sentiment begin to unwind, it could trigger tailwinds for the shares.
Options are attractively priced as well, per the stock's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 51%, which stands higher than just 18% of all other readings from the past year, implying that near-term option traders are pricing in relatively low volatility expectations.

It is time for Week 3 of Iowa high school football in the state of Iowa for the 2026 season.
Week 3 will feature a full state of games play on Sept. 11.
The big showdown in Week 3 is between Class 5A No. 1 Dowling Catholic (2-0) and No. 7 Dallas Center-Grimes (2-0) at West Des Moines. Dowling is coming off a 41-35 win over Johnston in what was a 5A No. 1 vs No. 2 showdown, and DCG crushed Ottumwa, 54-0.
Dowling running back Henry Smid is coming off a tremendous 250-yard night versus Johnston and Maroon receiver Beau Williams caught four passe for 197 yards and three scores in the win. The Maroon defense is led by defensive lineman Brady Hagen and linebacker Chris Blount.
Kellen Wegner (three sacks) leads a DCG defense that has only given up seven points through the first two games. The Mustang offense is led by senior quarterback Chase Engel, who has completed 68% of his passes for 380 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions, running back Osborn Grimm (280 yards and four touchdowns rushing) and receivers Chase Heitland (164 yards and two scores) and Gabriel Wright (122 yards and three scores).

GENAZZANO, Italy (AP) — Pope Leo XIV returned Monday to a sanctuary where he prayed just after his election and revealed a permanent sign of his devotion to the place: a fresco depicting him praying that now adorns an upper cornice of the basilica.
Leo unveiled the portrait before celebrating Mass with his fellow Augustinian brothers at the Sanctuary of Our Mother of Good Counsel in the medieval village of Genazzano south of Rome. He joins a handful of past popes whose visits to the sanctuary were commemorated with portraits that adorn its walls, going back to Pope Urban VIII in 1630.
Leo visited the sanctuary on May 10, 2025, just two days after his election and in his first outing as pope. The former Robert Prevost had been there many times before, since the place has special significance for the pope's Augustinian religious order.
The sanctuary is managed by Augustinian friars and has been a place of pilgrimage since the 15th century. Leo's namesake, Pope Leo XIII, elevated it to a minor basilica and expanded the adjacent convent in the early 1900s.
Leo referred to that 2025 outing during his homily at the basilica Monday, which commemorates the birth of Mary. Leo recalled what he wrote then in the sanctuary's guest book.

Sidney Starr's family and inner circle are speaking out after a judge refused to release the reality star from jail. Starr, whose legal name is Sidney Favors, remains locked up on felony charges involving a 13-year-old boy, but those closest to her say the accusations do not match the person they know—and that she is unraveling behind bars.
"Sidney is still in good spirits and asks that the public try not to make a judgment of guilt based on this decision," her camp said in a statement following the bond hearing.
Her manager, however, offered a far grimmer account of Starr's condition. "She's not doing well at all," the manager told TSR Investigates. "She tears up. She cries on the phone just about how scared for her safety she is."
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
Starr's friends were equally adamant that the allegations are out of character. "We're gonna get through this," one supporter said outside the courthouse. "This is not her at all."

Pamela Anderson spent years living with the belief that her life could be cut dramatically short after receiving a hepatitis C diagnosis in the late 1990s.
Variety reported on Monday, September 7, that Anderson, 59, revisited that frightening period while accepting amfAR's Award of Courage in Venice on September 6. The actress received the Award of Courage for her philanthropic work and longtime support in the fight against AIDS.
In a powerful speech, the Baywatch star revealed that the doctors gave her a grim outlook at a time when treatment options were far more limited.
"It was a death sentence. That's what my doctor told me — that I probably had around 10 years to live," she said. "I'm sure that colored and corrupted my decisions. It was not fear of death, but fear of what might happen to my young children. It turned my life inside out."

The general expectation around the NBA is that the Los Angeles Lakers will take at least half a step backward this season without LeBron James. Last season, they went 53-29 and finished fourth in the Western Conference, but now, they may not have a true third scorer, and the belief is that they still lack enough plus defenders on the perimeter.
But the Lakers still do have a competitive roster, and in fact, their roster does look more balanced and versatile this time around. Derek Fisher, a guard who won five NBA ****** les with the Lakers back in the day, feels there won't be much of a drop-off this season with James now on the Philadelphia 76ers, via Lakers Nation.
"You think about the few organizations where LeBron has been, you tell me where their record has gotten dramatically better after he left," Fisher said during his show on 97.1 The Fan LA. "So it's not going to fall off that much because Luka [Doncic] is there. I think Luka and Austin Reaves are basically an All-Star backcourt that you can roll out every night, and then Walker Kessler is a young developing almost All-Star-ish type of big in terms of his elite defense and rebounding. So I think you have a chance…45 to 50 wins, a lot of things are going to have to go right, but it feels fair to me."
When James left the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2010, they went 19-63 the following season and didn't make the playoffs until he returned for the 2014-15 campaign. The results were similar for the four seasons following James' second departure from the Cavaliers in 2018.
Kessler was L.A.'s big offseason addition, and by himself, he could improve its defense. It also brought in Quentin Grimes and Collin ****** ton to boost its offense and its backcourt, Sandro Mamukelashvili could be a nice utility big man, and Matisse Thybulle and Ziaire Williams could be reliable 3-and-D role players. In addition, rookie guard Cameron Carr could break into the rotation before too long.

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Thousands of young Orthodox Christians gathered in Romania's capital for a candlelit procession that illuminated a trail from the giant National Cathedral to Patriarchate Hill, a historic site considered sacred to Romanian Orthodoxy.
The Procession of Lights was part of a four-day program for the eighth edition of the International Meeting of Orthodox Youth in Bucharest. The annual gathering brings together 2,400 people aged 16 to 35, many from Romania and its diaspora and other Orthodox churches.
Pilgrims from dozens of countries carried candles and flags through Bucharest's streets as they made their way to Patriarchate Hill, home to the headquarters of the Romanian Patriarchate, and the Patriarchal Residence and Cathedral.
Romania is one of the most pious countries in the European Union, with around 85% of the population identifying as religious. The Romanian Orthodox Church is a powerful institution that plays a central role in many people's lives.
In his opening speech Tuesday, Patriarch Daniel said the gathering provides "a concrete opportunity to intensify the mission of young people in the life of the Church today" in what he described as a "rapidly secularizing society."

The Los Angeles Lakers experienced a major roster overhaul this summer, replacing LeBron James, Rui Hachimura, and Marcus Smart (among others) with Walker Kessler, Collin **** ton, Quentin Grimes, Kevon Looney, and Sandro Mamukelashvili.
Among the losses, however, backup forward Jarred Vanderbilt was not included, setting the stage for his fourth straight full season with the Purple and Gold. As much as the Lakers have tried to trade Vanderbilt, no teams have answered the call, forcing head coach JJ Redick to begrudgingly accept Vando's return for at least some of the 2026-27 campaign.
"The Lakers have been trying to find a taker for Vanderbilt, but no one has been eager to take on his contract," wrote Heavy's Sean Deveney. "It's possible the Lakers will use him in their rotation, much to JJ Redick's chagrin, and attempt to trade him during the season."
Vanderbilt, 27, was on three different teams before being sent to the Lakers in 2023. Known primarily as a wing defender, he seems like the ideal fit on paper for a Lakers team that has struggled to contain perimeter shooters. With a modest career stat line of 5.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.4 **** ists, 1.0 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game on 54.6% shooting from the field, Vanderbilt has never played a huge role on his teams, but he provides a spark off the bench as a 6'8″ athlete with natural defensive instincts.
Unfortunately, Vanderbilt's flaws as a shooter and scorer have kept him on the fringe of JJ Redick's rotation. With an average of 1.5 three-point attempts on 29.3% shooting per game, he failed to fulfill his role as a three-and-d wing, which made him virtually unplayable in the postseason. Without the confidence or ability to stretch the floor, Vanderbilt becomes more of a liability than anything else. If not for injuries, he might have played significantly less throughout the season, revealing just how much the Lakers value his impact.

After a busy summer reshaping the entire squad to fit the needs of Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, the Los Angeles Lakers spent the recent weeks trying to add Jonathan ****** inga, but the 23-year-old forward chose the Timberwolves instead, signing a two-year, $13.0 million deal while rejecting more money from the Lakers.
This team keeps having the same athletic questions now, as they obviously rebuilt the roster around defense for Luka and Reaves, but they still don't have the young athletic forward they hoped ****** inga could become for them. Matisse Thybulle gives them defense, Quentin Grimes helps on both ends, and Ziaire Williams adds some size, but there is still room for another bigger wing who can guard from guards to forwards.
There is another issue too: the Lakers currently have 16 guaranteed contracts, one more than they can carry into the regular season. So unless somebody gets waived, another move is already coming before Opening Night.
That is why a three-for-two trade makes a lot of sense right now. Instead of simply cutting somebody from the bottom of the roster, the Lakers could use that extra body as part of a bigger deal and still attack the hole ****** inga was supposed to fill.
This three-team mock trade with the Bulls and Grizzlies would do exactly that.

I feel as though I have already written this recap about 20 times this season. The Dbacks starting pitching was able to keep the team in the game, but the offense never got going in this one as they have yet to get a hit with RISP this series.
Perhaps the tone of the day was set before the game even started when the team announced the reinforcements have finally arrived! In the form of Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Blake Walston…. Yawn. Definitely not what the fans had in mind when the reinforcements kept getting brought up going into the trade deadline. Feels a lot like the game today, yawn.
Eduardo Rodriguez was ok allowing 3 runs, but labored through a couple of long innings that knocked him out of the game after just 5 innings. He threw 31 pitches in the first inning alone.
Gerardo Carillo really struggled in this one as he came in and could not throw strikes and wound up walking a batter and giving up 2 hits resulting in 3 ER. The Philles were really able to execute on offense tonight as they were able to do the job and put the ball in play with runners on base and hit sac fly RBI's to go along with 13 hits against the Dbacks pitching staff.
The top 4 of the Dbacks order Perdomo, Carroll, Moreno, and Marte went a combined 1-15 tonight. This group flat out needs to start producing if this team is going to contend. And specifically Corbin Carroll continues to really be struggling as of late as he is just 1-9 in the series so far and 2-19 since the start of the Giants series. Its also worth noting that Carroll appeared to be grimacing while running up the line in the 6th inning and may be worth monitoring as he may be playing through something. According to Torey in the postgame, Carroll has some low back discomfort the last couple of days but in Torey's words "its that time of the year" and is "in there tomorrow".

Atlético de Madrid on Tuesday pulled out of negotiations with Olympique Lyonnais to sign veteran left-back Nicolás Tagliafico before the summer transfer window shut.
Atlético's interest in Argentina international Tagliafico first came to us via David Medina and Isaac Suárez in Marca. Atlético were seeking a backup for Alejandro Grimaldo after long negotiations for Racing Santander teenager Jorge Salinas fell apart Tuesday; Salinas is staying at Racing after no club paid his €16 million release clause.
Tagliafico had been in negotiations to join Juventus before Atlético entered the race. According to Fabrizio Romano **** ociate Matteo Moretto, Tagliafico spoke directly to Diego Simeone and prioritized a move to Atleti, having accepted his role would be as a substitute. To make room for Tagliafico and his roughly €3 million gross salary, Mateu Alemany had to clear **** e in the squad by finding new destinations for multiple players, including Josema Giménez, Thomas Lemar, Carlos Martín and Obed Vargas.
While the sporting director moved out Giménez and Lemar on deadline day, Vargas and Carlos Martín stayed. That meant Atleti could not move forward with a Tagliafico transfer, especially as Lyon could not secure a replacement. French media first reported its collapse before Spanish media corroborated later in the day.
Tagliafico, who turned 34 on Monday, has spent the previous four seasons playing for Lyon, but the French side's aggregate loss to Fenerbahçe in the UEFA Champions League play-off round last week has put it in a bind. With Champions League income lost, Lyon need to sell players, and Tagliafico — entering the final year of his contract — was poised to be one of the casualties.

Ayesha Curry has opened up about her husband Stephen Curry's future with the Golden State Warriors in a recent interview.
As of September 1, 2026, Curry is eligible to sign a contract extension with the Warriors that could pay him up to $136.7 million.
The 38-year-old legend has always been considered a one-team man by fans, but GSW's recent competitive struggles and grim immediate future have created uncertainty until Curry signs on the dotted line.
The Currys were interviewed by Dalton Johnson, with Ayesha being asked about Curry's playing future. She reaffirmed that Steph can easily continue his career, while hinting at incoming 'fun surprises.'
"Of course, (Steph) is the hardest-working man in the room. He has no days off. He hasn't stopped since last season ended. He's ready. He's ready to get out there. I think we're going to be in for some fun surprises over the next couple of years."

Ziaire Williams has the opportunity to become a key contributor for the Los Angeles Lakers this season. The 6-foot-9 forward, whom the team signed to a one-year, $2.45 million contract in July, is not a finished product yet, but if he continues to improve and refine different aspects of his game, he could perhaps earn more playing time than he has gotten thus far in his NBA career.
Last season, he averaged 10.2 points and 1.4 steals in 22.9 minutes a game with the Brooklyn Nets. At this point in his career, the 24-year-old is known as a capable defender who has ample athleticism.
Per Benjamin Royer of the Southern California News Group, Williams talked to coach JJ Redick and general manager Rob Pelinka about his role. Redick and Pelinka laid out a specific role for him on the defensive end.
"Williams said in his early conversations with Lakers coach JJ Redick and President of Basketball Operations Rob Pelinka, they have told him that their focus for him is "first and foremost, being a main defender, point-of-attack defender."
The Lakers have lacked plus defenders on the perimeter for the last few years. In Williams, Quentin Grimes and Matisse Thybulle, they have three men who could help fill that void right away.

Questions over whether the Russia-Ukraine war is entering a new phase are mounting as Kyiv endures repeated drone attacks and near-constant air raid alerts, including growing waves during daylight hours — an expansion beyond the nighttime barrages that have become grimly familiar to residents of the Ukrainian capital.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia launched nearly 1,500 drones over four days, more than half of them jet-powered, accusing Moscow of attempting to wear down Ukraine and its population. The attacks have repeatedly interrupted Kyiv's metro system and daily commutes, Reuters reported Aug. 31, as residents are forced to seek shelter during daytime air raid alerts.
As Ukrainians seek some semblance of normalcy at the end of the summer and prepare for the start of the school year, the relentless attacks are again sending already exhausted Kyiv residents underground.

NEW YORK — He moped around the court for most of the 4 hours, 36 minutes he spent at Arthur Ashe Stadium, applied ice bags to his head every few minutes as he grimaced in agony and in certain moments looked like he was barely interested in making his stay at the US Open a long one.
Here was arguably the greatest men's tennis player of all time, drained and dizzy just a handful of games into his first-round match Monday against Mariano Navone. As the night went on, here was the most physically fit athlete in the history of the sport visibly struggling to endure long points without looking like a staggering boxer who needs the ropes to keep him from falling down.
And finally, here was one of the great competitors in all of sports giving in, his body screaming at him that enough is enough.

If you went to Kroger Field the last couple of years, you probably left with a sour taste in your mouth. Kentucky was just 1-8 over the last 2 seasons against Power 5 schools at home. But it wasn't just the on-field performance that left a lot to be desired.
Fans saw places like Bryant-Denny and Williams-Brice come alive with lights, music, and great sound. The pregame atmosphere was electric. For Kentucky, everything had seemed a little stale. There was Grove Street but not much else. And a lot of fans complained about the speaker system that felt like it was only being played on one end of the stadium. And the stadium itself needed a good, deep cleaning after a couple of years of grime had built up on the outside.
Will Stein heard those comments.
The new head coach said he wanted new traditions; he talked about how he would love to extend the Wildcat walk and have different songs and an electric atmosphere. He and new AD J Batt even delivered pizzas to fans who wanted to set up their tailgating spots.
They power-washed the stadium and cleaned up the inside and out. It was announced that they have now put in field-level speakers to help boost the sound, and they will have a new game-day host to help keep the atmosphere rocking all night long.

(NewsNation) — An advocate for AI safeguards has grim predictions about what the technology will be able to do in the next five to 10 years if the industry does not develop guardrails.
David Krueger, a University of Montreal ****** istant professor of machine learning, said the recent rogue actions of OpenAI models that hacked into a competitor's servers were a "warning shot" that shouldn't be ignored.
"The next one, these AI agents could be hacking into peoples' bank accounts, hacking into critical infrastructure … that's the sort of thing that could happen in the next year," Krueger told "NewsNation Prime" on Saturday.

NUWAKOT, Nepal, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Nepal and China resumed rescue operations in the flood-hit Himalayas on Friday, with a Chinese rescue team reaching the all-but-obliterated Gyirong border crossing complex for the first time and finding "nothing but ruins."
A glacier collapse on Wednesday unleashed a huge torrent of rock, ice, mud and debris through Himalayan mountain river systems, killing at least 579 people in Nepal ‌and seven in China's Tibet.
The number of missing in Nepal has nearly doubled to 1,924, the country's disaster authority said on Friday. At least 558 were missing in Tibet's Gyirong County, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said on Thursday. ‌Of those missing in the disaster, at least 540 are foreigners, many of them Hindu pilgrims from India.
Surveillance camera footage from the worst-hit Gyirong border crossing complex showed huge torrents of water and debris engulfing buildings and people trying to flee.

An Israeli court has acquitted a Jewish man who attacked a nun in Jerusalem, in an incident caught on CCTV which drew widespread condemnation.

Aston Villa are on the verge of signing Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that personal terms between the player's camp and the club are nearly finalised. Aston Villa have now entered official club-to-club negotiations with Chelsea, with Unai Emery personally pushing the deal forward. The total package on the table exceeds £60 million. Jackson, 25, is not part of new Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso's plans after returning from a season-long loan at Bayern Munich.
This isn't panic buying. Jackson spent the 2025/26 season at Bayern, scoring 8 goals in 23 Bundesliga appearances and contributing 3 goals and 2 ***** ists across 10 Champions League matches. He also scored twice for Senegal at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. A regular in Senegal's 2026 World Cup campaign too. He has proven he can function at the highest level.
Chelsea want him gone. That changes the negotiation entirely.
At £60m, Villa are acquiring a Premier League-tested, Champions League-experienced centre-forward who is 25 years old. The market for that profile is brutal right now, so the fee isn't outrageous; it's the going rate.
