A top Border Patrol commander touted dozens of arrests in North Carolina’s largest city on Sunday as Charlotte residents reported encounters with federal immigration agents near churches, apartment complexes and stores. The Trump administration has made the Democratic city of about 950,000 people its latest target for an immigration enforcement surge it says will combat crime, despite fierce objections from local leaders and downtrending crime rates. Gregory Bovino, who led hundreds of U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents in a similar effort in Chicago, took to X to document a few of the more than 80 arrests he said agents…

Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa said that Wilmer Chavarria, also known as “Pipo,” was captured in the Spanish city of Malaga in a joint operation with Spanish police.

Lebanon’s government is set to complain to the UN over allegations that Israel is building a wall in occupied territory in the south. On Friday, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) said the Israeli army had built walls in south Lebanon near the UN-demarcated Blue Line. Israel has denied the allegations, but on Sunday, President Joseph Aoun’s office said he had instructed officials “to file an urgent complaint to the United Nations Security Council against Israel for constructing a concrete wall on Lebanon’s southern border exceeding the Blue Line”. Unifil said last month that its peacekeepers had surveyed…

South African activists have alleged that Israel is using a shadowy humanitarian group to force Palestinians out of Gaza, in what they decried as the latest form of ethnic cleansing to take place since October 2023. On Thursday, a plane carrying 153 Palestinians from Gaza landed at South Africa’s OR Tambo International Airport, but the plane was held on the tarmac for around 12 hours, with passengers not allowed to disembark – triggering confusion and anger against local authorities. Within hours, however, activists and South African authorities discovered several irregularities in the way the Palestinians’ travel had been organised by a body called Al-Majd Europe. Activists found that not only…

It’s a goal that seemed…

The historical significance and civilisational contributions of Pharaonic Egypt are beyond dispute. But the recent opening ceremony of the Grand Egyptian Museum was not a cultural celebration of ancient glory. It was a political affair and, contrary to appearances, a symptom of compromised sovereignty and national underachievement. The lavish gala, held on 1 November against the backdrop of the Giza pyramids, bore all the hallmarks of political propaganda in modern history. Similar high-profile spectacles have been staged in the past to prop up regimes during times of subservience to foreign powers, growing dependency on private money or extractive wealth, and…

He has been at ESPN since 2019.We have officially reached the “nerd zone” of the 2025-26 European soccer season. It is said (by the nerds, of course) that it takes about 10 matches for expected goal (xG) figures to start telling you a semi-accurate, predictive story about a given team. We should probably think of that as more of a range of about eight to 15 games, but regardless, the European season has officially entered that range. France’s Ligue 1…
