CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — The Trump administration has provided a $99.6 million loan to a U.S.-owned cell phone network operator in Africa to expand American tech presence on a continent where China's Huawei is a leading player.
The loan from the U.S. government's Export-Import Bank was announced by the operator Africell on Friday. It is the only U.S.-owned cell network operator in Africa.
Africell said in a statement the loan would "boost U.S.-based employment in the telecommunications sector and strengthen American technology leadership abroad." It said the money would allow it to invest specifically in American and European technology for its operations in the southern African country of Angola.
Africell also operates in Congo, Sierra Leone and Gambia, it said.
Huawei is the world's biggest supplier of telecommunications network equipment and is estimated to have supplied more than half the 4G and 5G network infrastructure in Africa.

KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — The fastest-growing Ebola outbreak on record in eastern Congo is rapidly spreading beyond its epicenter, Africa's top health body said Thursday.
In recent weeks, new cases and deaths have declined in Ituri province, the outbreak's epicenter, but risen sharply in neighboring North Kivu and Haut-Uele, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention said at a weekly briefing.
According to the latest government figures released on Thursday, 6,843 cases have been reported, including 3,310 deaths. Ituri province remains the hardest-hit province, with more than 5,400 cases while North Kivu has reported over 1,000 cases since the outbreak was declared in May.
The outbreak in eastern Congo is spreading under extremely difficult conditions, fueled by insecurity, displacement, a health workers' strike and intense population movements. The situation is particularly concerning at displacement sites, where residents already live in extremely precarious conditions.
The World Health Organization has said the outbreak remains out of control and is on track to surpass the 2014-2016 West Africa Ebola outbreak, the deadliest on record, which killed more than 11,000 people, primarily in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Silicon Valley billionaire Douglas Leone challenged himself to the ultimate test of pain by purposely undergoing a root canal without Novocain.
The Sequoia Capital chairman, 69, opened up about the experience during an interview with podcaster David Senra over the weekend, where he went into detail about the difficult dental work.
Leone shared that he had to get the dental work done before heading to a meeting and ordered his dentist to skip the anesthetic.
"My whole life I wanted to see if I was a [expletive] or not," the exec said on Senra's Founders podcast. "In other words, I'm a fake [expletive] that has this envelope ****** ody could tell, or am I really a [expletive] on the inside?"
"Drill without any Novocain," Leone recalled telling the dentist, who said the venture capitalist was "out of [his] mind" for passing on the pain medication.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is warning that subpoenas are on the table if county prosecutors accused of going easy on illegal immigrants who commit crimes do not cooperate.
Jordan's committee is investigating district attorneys for so-called "sanctuary jurisdictions" who have been accused of taking immigration status into account when pursuing criminal complaints, even when the alleged crime has nothing to do with the suspect's legal status.
"If we have to, we'll use subpoenas to get the documents that we think they may not be giving us. There's a process we always go through. We ask for things, we ask again, we explain why, we work with their office — in some cases their counsel — and back and forth," Jordan explained in an interview with Fox News Digital. "And then if we have to use subpoenas, we certainly will do that ... but we want to know the facts."
Doj Opens Investigation Into Soros-backed Da Accused Of Shielding Illegal Immigrants From Consequences
Of particular concern, Jordan said, is Fairfax County, Virginia, DA Steve Descano. Descano was recently thrust under scrutiny after the stabbing death of 41-year-old U.S. citizen Stephanie Minter, whose accused killer came to the U.S. illegally from Sierra Leone in 2012.

SAN MARINO (AP) — Pope Leo XIV used a visit to the tiny landlocked San Marino and a major Catholic gathering in the Italian city of Rimini on Saturday to issue one of his strongest appeals yet against war, polarization and social division, urging believers to foster dialogue and friendship in a fractured world.
Speaking to tens of thousands in Rimini, Leo warned against a culture that "rearms minds, words and nations" and argued that Christians must respond with mercy, encounter and a commitment to peace.
He also delivered a message of encouragement to young Catholics, telling them they are "a sign that the future is promising, and not a threat!"
Earlier, in San Marino, Leo addressed local authorities of the world's oldest surviving republic and reflected on the legacy of Saints Marino and Leone, whom he credited with helping create a society rooted in freedom, mutual respect and community.
The pope said the two saints translated the Christian message into "a new community and political model, strongly characterized by the Christian principles of freedom, mutual respect and communion" — a legacy that he said continues to shape the republic today.

IslamMakhachev has named the ideal next challenger for his Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight **** le.

Makhachev retained his belt with a hard-fought victory overIanGarry at UFC330 in Philadelphia. The Russian revealed that CarlosPrates is the preferred next opponent after recording his firsttitle defense at welterweight.
Prates and MichaelMorales, who were both in attendance at UFC 330, are in therunning for the next **** le shot, with Makhachev believing theBrazilian currently has the stronger case. He dismissed ShavkatRakhmonov, who's been sidelined with injuries since December2024, and Morales, who hasn't been as active as Prates.

"If you ask me today, Shavkat [Rakhmonov] is not fighting; Pratesis still fighting, still active," Makhachev said during theParamount+ post-fight show. "Morales also is good, but I don'tremember the last time he fought. If you ask who is more deserving,I think Carlos Prates."

Morales and Rakhmonov are both unbeaten, while Prates holds arecord of 24-7. The latter's last loss came against Garry in April2025, but he has remained active since then, picking up finishesagainst Geoff Nealand two former champs: LeonEdwards and JackDella Maddalena.

Pumas struggled at home in a 0-0 tie against Queretaro. After an improving start to the Apertura 2026, their terrible Leagues Cup participation seemed to have influenced their Liga MX campaign as they had trouble in a match they were favored to win.

Pumas will stay at home before taking on Necaxa on Sunday while Queretaro will also host but will have a tougher match when they face off against Toluca.
The 1st half started with Pumas taking the surprising decision of starting with Uriel Antuna to take the place of Alvaro Angulo, a strange move especially with Cristian Calderon on the bench. From outside the area, Adalberto Carrasquilla was given time and **** e to get off a great left footed shot that forced a wonderful save from Queretaro's goalkeeper, Guillermo Allison. In the ensuing corner kick, the ball would eventually fall to Robert Morales but his right footed volley went well wide. A cross into the area was headed wide from close range by Juninho. A cross into the area was just missed by Daniel Parra but he would not get to it, had he gotten to it, he would have had a close range empty net chance. Antuna got the ball in the area but his shot went wide. A cross into the area was headed wide by Juninho. The 1st half ended with neither team making much out of their play in a very even match.
The 2nd half started with neither team making a substitution. Santiago Homenchenko got off a left footed shot that would go just wide. From outside the area, Carrasquilla got off a left footed shot that Allison easily saved. A left footed cross from Antuna turned into a shot that was just wide. Queretaro subbed out Paolo Victor and Alejandro Alcala for Erik Dueñas and Waldo Madrid. After getting into the area, Dueñas got off a right footed shot that went wide.

Rain and wind sent the University of Cincinnati Bearcats football training camp indoors for the first time on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
It's something that wouldn't have been possible had the troops been at Camp Higher Ground, their previous preseason location for 27 years. Under the lights in the morning, the Bearcats put some spirited work in with some big plays and a few scuffles.
UC Bearcats coaches Scott Satterfield Scott Satterfield, Luke Fickell on coaching hot seat, report says
Also during the practice, the Bearcats found out that starting left guard Evan Tengesdahl made the Wuerffel Award watch list. The Wuerffel Trophy is presented annually to the FBS player who best combines exemplary community service with leadership achievement on and off the field.
This is in addition to Tengesdahl's appearance on the Bruce Feldman Freak List published by the New York Times. UC has recently had several players listed, including defensive lineman Dontay Corleone, linebacker Jake Golday and receiver Jeff Caldwell.

DAKAR, Aug 5 (Reuters) - The Ebola epidemic in Democratic Republic of Congo is on track to surpass 4,000 cases this week and has been described as the fastest spreading on record since it was officially declared in May.
It is already the world's second-largest ‌epidemic after West Africa's 2014-16 outbreak in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, when the World Health Organization recorded more than 28,000 cases and 11,000 deaths.
Delayed detection, ‌overwhelmed surveillance, military conflict and a lack of vaccines and treatments for the species of the virus involved have allowed the disease to outrun containment efforts this time.
HOW FAST IS IT SPREADING?

Mister Rodgers's neighborhood was not a happy place on Monday.
Aaron Rodgers took the opportunity of a live interview with The Pat McAfee Show to eviscerate a "cowardly" Anthony Fauci, "gutless" ESPN, and other enemies, real or imagined.
This was Michael Corleone at the end of The Godfather settling all family business. It was gonzo but wildly entertaining sports TV. When McAfee & Co. tried to gently steer the 42-year-old football legend to safer topics, he ran right over them. ProFootballTalk wrote the four-time MVP took a "flamethrower" to Fauci and ESPN. But they weren't alone. Here are seven targets who took fire from Rodgers's blunderbuss:
Back in 2021, Rodgers was publicly roasted for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine. Turnabout's fair play. Rodgers immediately took aim at Fauci, calling him an "absolute coward" for pleading the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times before the U.S. Senate last week. "Are you kidding me? You got a pardon, and you plead over 100 times? What are you scared of, Tony?" asked Rodgers. "I thought you were the science?—'I am science.' And you get up there, and you can't answer a question? What are we doing?"
Rodgers was similarly displeased with ESPN's coverage of his vaccination status and other controversies in recent years. What a coincidence. He used ESPN's own air to call out McAfee's business partner as a "gutless organization" with "no integrity," while the host squirmed uncomfortably. According to Rodgers, now that he's been vindicated in the COVID debate and reconciled with his family, ESPN's reporters have nothing left to bash him over. "I just don't care anymore," he said. "I cared a little bit. Now, I don't care at all."

Axel Tuanzebe has urged more English-raised footballers to represent their countries of origin to raise the level of African football.
Tuanzebe was part of the DR Congo side eliminated byEngland in the 2026 World Cup last 32 on Wednesday evening. The 28-year-old was born in DR Congo but relocated to England at a young age.
The centre-back represented England at youth level, before pledging his international allegiance to his birth country in 2024. This summer, he has formed part of a DR Congo side that has reached theWorld Cup knockout rounds for the first time.
He urged other English-raised footballers to consider representing African nations at international level.
England internationals Marc Guehi (Ivory Coast) and Trevoh Chalobah (Sierre Leone) with were both born in Africa, while teammates Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze, Noni Madueke, Ezri Konsa and Kobbie Mainoo were all eligible to represent African nations alongside the Three Lions.

At Wimbledon, stewards in military uniforms are a common sight in the walkways and even on courts, as hundreds of armed forces members volunteer in a tradition dating back eight decades.
Active personnel from the army, navy and air force have been helping out annually since the aftermath of World War II, with the arrangement a quintessential part of the world's oldest tennis championships.
This year they number around 500 -- featuring as many women as men -- and take care of everything from checking tickets and guiding spectators to their seats to ensuring that peace and quiet prevails on-court.
Dave McGarr, 48, an army captain who has served in Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq and Sierra Leone, has been offering his services at Wimbledon for 13 years and is now one of two officers overseeing the stewarding operation.
"I like the excitement," he told AFP, as the only grass court grand slam tournament got underway this week in southwest London.

DanielRodriguez was calling for a matchup against LeonEdwards before he got booked for UFCBelgrade .

Rodriguez (20-5) is set to fight Uros Medic (13-3) in a welterweight bout at UFC Belgrade on Aug. 1. "D-Rod"recently revealed that he was originally rallying for a bookingagainst Edwards at UFC 329 during International Fight Week. However, Rodriguez believesEdwards was not keen on the matchup. Rodriguez plans to continuethe pursuit by calling out "Rocky" if he beats Medic at UFCBelgrade.
"We wanted the fight; we asked for the fight," Rodriguez told Homeof Fight. "I guess on his end, they were leaning towards anotherdirection. That would've been crazy to have fought on theInternational Fight Week card. But I got a better opportunity.Another tough matchup as well. We'll see; we'll definitely becalling him out after."

While Rodriguez is currently on a three-fight winning streak, hehasn't fought since July 2025, as he was arrested in Mexico lastyear. Rodriguez was released this past April after spending eightmonths in a jail in Tijuana, Mexico, for crossing the border withweed. Meanwhile, Edwards (22-6) is currently on a three-fightslump, starting with his ******* le loss to BelalMuhammad in 2024. The Englishman hasn't fought since a brutalstoppage loss against CarlosPrates this past November.

When Antonio Rudiger entered the fray as a substitute during Germany's World Cup opener - a 7-1 victory over Curacao at the Houston Stadium - he knew his large extended family would be watching on proudly.
But things could have been very different if the Real Madrid defender's parents had not managed to flee Sierra Leone's decade-long civil war for a new life in Europe.
"There was only the decision to get out of there," Rudiger told BBC Sport Africa.
"I spoke many times with my brother about it, and he told me the stories of what he saw there and what a march they made from Kono [the family's home district in the far east of Sierra Leone] to the capital city to find a bit of safety."
The distance between Kono and the capital Freetown is approximately 210 miles (340km) and the journey proved perilous, with Rudiger's uncle taking extreme action to prevent his nieces and nephews being swept up by rebels and turned into one of the thousands of child soldiers forced into battle during the conflict.
