TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — NASCAR driver Jordan Anderson suffered second-degree burns across his neck, face, right arm and both knees as he desperately jumped from his burning vehicle Saturday at Talladega Superspeedway.
The 31-year-old journeyman was running fourth in the Truck Series race on Saturday when his truck spun across the track and flames began shooting from underneath the Chevrolet. The truck continued to spin and slide toward an interior wall and Anderson appeared to be halfway out of the window when it came to a rest aligned with the wall.
Anderson scrambled to the top of the wall and away from the flames. He was initially seen in the infield care center and then airlifted to a Birmingham hospital.
It was the fifth start of the season for Anderson, who posted on social media he expected to be released from the hospital later Saturday.
“Scariest moment of my racing career by far,” Anderson wrote. “Doctors say everything should be healing up within a few weeks.”

Bollywood star couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh put all rumours about their separation to rest by sharing flirty exchanges on social media.
MUMBAI : Bollywood star couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh put all rumours about their separation to rest by sharing flirty exchanges on social media.
Ranveer shared a picture of him on Instagram, where he is seen dressed in a bubble gum pink suit. He completed the look by keeping his hair untied.
He captioned it with a pink heart emoji.
Putting a full stop to speculations about their split, Deepika dropped a flirty message on the comment section.
She wrote: "Edible."
To which, Ranveer replied with a smirk and a kiss emoji.
This is not the first time Deepika and Ranveer have engaged on PDA on social media. The power-couple keep sharing pictures and loved-up comments on their social media for each other.
Ranveer and Deepika tied the knot in December 2018 after falling in love with each other on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Goliyon Ki Raasleela.. Ram-Leela', which released in 2013.

India condemns hate crime at Shri Bhagavad Gita Park in Canada, urges prompt action against perpetrators
We urge Canadian authorities PeelPolice to investigate and take prompt action on the perpetrators, the High Commission of India in Canada tweeted.The attack came days after another temple in Canada was vandalised.Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown on Sunday confirmed the vandalism at the park and said that Canada has zero tolerance for such attacks.We are aware that the recently unveiled Shri Bhagavad Gita Park sign has been vandalized.
- Country:

India on Sunday condemned the vandalism at a recently unveiled park named 'Shri Bhagavad Gita' in Canada's Brampton and urged the authorities to investigate and take prompt action against the perpetrators of the hate crime.
The park – previously called Troyers Park – was renamed as Shri Bhagavad Gita Park and unveiled on September 28.
“We condemn the hate crime at the Shri Bhagvad Gita Park in Brampton. We urge Canadian authorities & @PeelPolice to investigate and take prompt action on the perpetrators,” the High Commission of India in Canada tweeted.
The attack came days after another temple in Canada was vandalised.
Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown on Sunday confirmed the vandalism at the park and said that Canada has ''zero tolerance'' for such attacks.
''We are aware that the recently unveiled Shri Bhagavad Gita Park sign has been vandalized. We have zero tolerance for this. We have flagged Peel Regional Police for further investigation. Our Parks department is working to resolve and correct the sign as soon as possible,'' Brown tweeted on Sunday.
On September 28, Mayor Brown said, ''Today, the @CityBrampton unveiled the renaming of Brampton's Troyers Park to Shri Bhagavad Gita Park. Brampton is a Mosaic, and this renaming commemorates the Hindu community and all they contribute to our City. We celebrate all cultures and all faiths in our City.'' On September 15, a prominent Hindu temple, BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir, was defaced by “Canadian Khalistani extremists” with anti-India graffiti in an apparent hate crime.
Last month, India issued an advisory to its citizens in Canada warning of increased hate crimes.

ANAHEIM Calif. (AP) — José Suarez of the Los Angeles Angels lost a perfect game in the seventh inning when the Texas Rangers’ Marcus Semien led off with a single.
Suarez ran into more trouble in the inning when Nathaniel Lowe hit a two-run homer to right field to give the Rangers a 2-1 lead.
The Venezuelan left-hander threw 77 pitches and struck out five in retiring the first 18 batters.
It was the first time Suarez had a no-hitter through six innings. His previous low in hits allowed at that point of a game was two, which has happened twice this season.
There hasn’t been a perfect game in the majors since Seattle’s Felix Hernandez threw one on Aug. 15, 2012, against Tampa Bay.
Suarez was trying for the Angels’ second no-hitter of the season. Los Angeles rookie Reid Detmers did it against the Rays on May 10. Shohei Ohtani took a no-hitter into the eighth inning Thursday night against Oakland.
There have been two other no-hitters this season, with five New York Mets pitchers combining against Philadelphia on April 29, and three Houston Astros hurlers against the New York Yankees on June 25.

Actress Parineeti Chopra has shared that she had to learn Israeli martial art form Krav Maga for three months to perfect her role as an elite agent in the film 'Code Name Tiranga'.
MUMBAI: Actress Parineeti Chopra has shared that she had to learn Israeli martial art form Krav Maga for three months to perfect her role as an elite agent in the film 'Code Name Tiranga'.
Developed for the Israel Defence Forces, Krav Maga is derived from a combination of techniques used in aikido, judo, karate, and boxing and wrestling.
Parineeti says, "One of the key action techniques of an agent is hand to hand combat, so I learnt Krav Maga, a form of martial arts, for a total of 3 months to get my action sequences right."
"It is a very physically and mentally demanding form of martial arts as its not only just movements but it also needs a lot of mental awareness of the surroundings one is in which is what exactly an agent needs to do on a mission."
She adds: "Most of my fight sequences were against men who were a lot taller than me like the stunt men and co-actor Sharad Kelkar and sometimes the fight sequences would require them to fight with their full body weight."
Parineeti said that at the end of most days she had injures and bruises all over her body.
"And the next day the most amount of make up would be needed not on my face but rather to cover up my injuries. I'm extremely happy with the way people are liking my action shots in the trailer and it is a big thing for someone like me who has never done action as a genre before."
'Code Name Tiranga' also stars Harrdy Sandhu opposite Parineeti and is set to release on October 14.

Britain will acquire two specialist ships to protect underwater infrastructure such as cables and pipelines, defence minister Ben Wallace said on Sunday, following leaks in the Nord Stream gas pipelines from Russia to Europe.
"I can announce we have recently committed to two specialist ships with the capability to keep our cables and pipelines safe," Wallace told the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham, central England.

The NFL Players Association has fired the unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant who evaluated Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa after he stumbled off the field against Buffalo last weekend, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Saturday.
The person who confirmed the firing, which was first reported by Pro Football Talk, spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because a joint review by the NFL and its players’ union into Tagovailoa’s quick return to Sunday’s game is ongoing.
There are three unaffiliated neurotrauma consultants (UNC) at each game. They are jointly paid by the league and the players’ union to work with team physicians to diagnose concussions. The NFLPA is exercising its right to terminate the UNC directly involved in the decision to clear Tagovailoa, who sustained a concussion following a frightening hit just four days later at Cincinnati on Thursday night.
Tagovailoa initially seemed to exhibit concussion symptoms after the hit to his head during the home game against Buffalo, but he was cleared by a team physician and UNC to return. He and the team later explained his legs were wobbly because of a back injury.
After the hit on Thursday, when 6-foot-3, 340-pound Bengals defensive tackle Josh Tupou slammed him backward into the turf, Tagovailoa’s hands froze up and his fingers flexed awkwardly in front of his facemask for several seconds as he laid on the turf in Cincinnati. He remained on the ground for several minutes until he was taken away on a stretcher and sent to a hospital. He was released from the hospital and flew home with the team hours later.
It’s unknown whether there’s any correlation between the two injuries. Concussions are common in the NFL, especially when a player is thrown to the ground by a man Tupou’s size and his head hits the turf.
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel defended the team’s handling of the quarterback’s injury against the Bills, when he took a hit from linebacker Matt Milano late in the first half and appeared to knock his head on the turf. Tagovailoa stumbled when he got up and was taken to the locker room for evaluation, then returned to the game at the start of the third quarter.
McDaniel reiterated Friday that Tagovailoa was cleared by several layers of medical professionals during that game and said the QB did not have a head injury, which is why he was not in the concussion protocol heading into Thursday’s game. McDaniel said Friday there is no timetable for Tagovailoa’s return.
Many observers questioned why Tagovailoa was allowed to return to the field against the Bills.
The league and the NFLPA issued a statement that said they had made no conclusions about “medical errors or protocol violations” while the investigation is still underway. But the two added that “modifications are needed … to enhance player safety” and that they expect “changes to the (concussion) protocol” to happen “in the coming days based on what has been learned thus far in the review process.”

UK sees improving 'mood music' on Northern Ireland protocol
The prospects for the Northern Ireland protocol seem to be improving as the United Kingdom tries to renegotiate part of the Brexit deal with the European Union and re-establish the province's devolved assembly, a British minister said on Sunday. The event at the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham, central England, saw a softening in tone from some former hardliners in the dispute with the EU, matching a shift from the foreign minister James Cleverly, who is leading talks.

The prospects for the Northern Ireland protocol seem to be improving as the United Kingdom tries to renegotiate part of the Brexit deal with the European Union and re-establish the province's devolved assembly, a British minister said on Sunday.
The event at the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham, central England, saw a softening in tone from some former hardliners in the dispute with the EU, matching a shift from the foreign minister James Cleverly, who is leading talks. "I understand the complications and maybe we could have understood them a bit better, sooner. But now the mood music certainly seems to be changing and I very much hope that we get some solutions," said Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris.
"Let's hope we can put the protocol to bed, get the assembly going, and then everyone can move forward in a peaceful and prosperous Northern Ireland." Both Britain and the EU agreed to the Northern Ireland protocol as a way to avoid reinstating border controls between the British-run province of Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland after Britain left the EU, seen as key to protecting peace on the island.
Heaton-Harris said that the protocol wasn't written to complicate trade between Northern Ireland and Britain, but it had done, and needed to be renegotiated so that unionists would rejoin the devolved Stormont executive. He added that "discussions reopened with gusto" on the protocol in a call with Cleverly and EU negotiator Maros Sefcovic last week.
Heaton-Harris once co-chaired the European Research Group (ERG) with Steve Baker, a self-styled "hard man of Brexit". Baker organised lawmaker rebellions against Theresa May's deal, pushing for a harder form of Brexit. Baker said that having acted with "ferocious determination" to get Britain out of the EU, he regretted how that might have damaged relations with the bloc.
"It's with humility that I want to accept and acknowledge that I and others did not always behave in a way which encouraged Ireland and the European Union to trust us," Baker said, adding that both had legitimate interests that Britain was willing to respect. "I'm sorry about that, because relations with Ireland are not where they should be, and we all need to work extremely hard to improve them."

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Devin Williams blew a ninth-inning lead and the Milwaukee Brewers squandered a great opportunity to pull even in the race for the final National League playoff spot, losing to the Miami Marlins 4-3 on Saturday night.
Bryan De La Cruz hit a two-run single off Williams that put Miami ahead in the ninth. Milwaukee (84-74) fell a game behind the Phillies (85-73), who split a doubleheader with Washington, for the third NL wild-card berth.
Philadelphia holds the head-to-head tiebreaker between the teams. Both clubs have four games left.
Williams (6-4) walked two in the ninth and both runners advanced on a wild pitch before De La Cruz lined a single to left field that scored Jon Berti and Brian Anderson.
“I thought his stuff was fine,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “No issues with his stuff. They had some good at-bats. In the end, the wild pitch is probably what hurt us in the inning.”
Berti walked and swiped second one out later for his major league-leading 39th stolen base.
“When Berti gets on, you have to deal with him the whole time,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. “It looked like the wild pitch, he was trying to keep him on at second and one got away from him. That really helped us, obviously.”
Williams downplayed Berti being a threat to steal.
“I just didn’t execute my pitches. That’s really what it comes down to,” the reliever said.
Peter Strzelecki relieved Williams and got the final two outs of the inning.
De La Cruz was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sept. 2. He’s hit safely in 15 of 20 games since then with four home runs and 16 RBIs.
“Since he’s come back from Triple-A, he’s been really good,” Mattingly said. “He hung in there enough to get into that count. He got enough on it and hit it in the right spot.”
Richard Bleier pitched a scoreless ninth for his first save of the season. Tommy Nance (2-3) picked up the win with a scoreless eighth.
Milwaukee pushed across two runs in the sixth.
Huascar Brazoban relieved Jeff Fishman with two on and one out. Andrew McCutchen walked to load the bases. Brazoban hit Luis Urías with a pitch to force in a run and then Victor Caratini’s run-scoring groundout gave the Brewers the lead.
Peyton Burdick drove a 2-0 sinker from Milwaukee starter Alan Ashby off the bottom of the scoreboard in center field for a two-run shot in the third. Jordan Groshans was aboard on a check-swing roller.
Marlins starter Edward Cabrera completed his warmup pitches before the Brewers batted in the fourth, but couldn’t continue.
Andrew Nardi replaced him and promptly served up Christian Yelich’s first home run since Sept. 6 at Colorado.
Cabrera retired the nine batters he faced, five on strikeouts. The 23-year-old left-hander was looking to bounce back from his last start against Washington on Sept. 25 when he left after 3 2/3 innings with a right ankle strain.
Mattingly explained that Cabrera appeared to catch that same ankle on the mound on a strikeout pitch to Tyrone Taylor to end the third.
“He worked his way back to make this start,” Mattingly said. “It’s just unfortunate he catches it.”
Ashby made his 26th appearance and 19th start in a season marred by two stints on the injured list. The left-hander was out with left forearm inflammation from June 17 to July 1 and left shoulder inflammation from Aug. 20 to Sept. 19.
Trevor Gott relieved Ashby with one out and one on in the fifth. Gott retired the next two batters and then three in the sixth.
NOT DRIVING ‘EM IN
The Brewers were 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position and left nine on base overall.
“We just haven’t been able to break it open,” Yelich said. “We’ve given ourselves opportunities and put ourselves in good positions. We haven’t really cashed in on it.”
ALCANTARA DONE
Marlins ace Sandy Alcántara, a top contender for the NL Cy Young Award, was shut down for the rest of the season.
“We’ve got to do the best thing for Sandy, and we felt like this is it,” Mattingly said.
Alcántara is 14-9 with a 2.28 ERA over 32 starts. He leads the majors with 228 2/3 innings and six complete games, four of which have come against the NL division leaders — Atlanta, Los Angeles and St. Louis.
“They made that decision and I respect that,” Alcántara said.
He had a one-word description for his 2022 season.
“Amazing,” he said. “They know I’m here to compete and that’s what I do.”
Alcántara will continue to stay with the team.
UP NEXT
The series concludes Sunday with Marlins right-hander Pablo López (10-10, 3.90 ERA) facing Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta (4-4, 3.77).

NEW YORK (AP) — Zack Britton’s season is over, his comeback from Tommy John surgery cut short after just three relief appearances for the New York Yankees.
New York put the 34-year-old left-hander on the 60-day injured list Saturday and selected the contract of right-hander Jacob Barnes from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Britton was removed after throwing a tiebreaking wild pitch in Friday’s 2-1 loss to Baltimore, an outing that lasted just nine pitches. The two-time All-Star had Tommy John surgery on Sept. 8, 2021, and made eight minor league injury rehabilitation appearances starting Aug. 24 and three big league appearances beginning Sept. 24. He threw 36 pitches to nine batters with a 13.50 ERA, six walks and one strikeout.
“Kind of running out of time here and having a little bit of fatigue last night, it’s like one of those things, you don’t want to power through that and reach for more and then do some damage as you’re coming back,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Saturday. “He’s in a good spot heading into the offseason.”
Britton had hoped to be able to help the Yankees in the postseason. He is eligible for free agency after the World Series.
“It’s just that final sharpness,” Boone said. “At this point in the season, just kind of up against it there. But he worked his tail off to put himself in this position and give himself an opportunity and certainly admire that.”
Barnes, 32, started the season with Detroit and was released on June 18 after going 3-1 with a 6.10 ERA in 22 relief appearances. He struck out 10 and walked nine in 20 2/3 innings.
Barnes signed a minor league contract with Seattle, made four relief appearances for Triple-A Tacoma, then was brought up by the Mariners and designated for assignment two days later without playing in a game. He refused an outright assignment, signed back with the Tigers and made five appearances at Triple-A Toledo. Released by the Mud Hens, he signed with Scranton on Aug. 30 and had a 2.25 ERA in 10 games for the RailRiders.
Boone said reliever Clay Holmes will not go on the IL after receiving a cortisone injection on Thursday for inflammation in his right rotator cuff. If the Yankees had put Holmes on the IL, he would not be available for the Division Series.
After playing his first game since Sept. 4 and going 0 for 3 on Froday, DJ LeMahieu said his injured right second toe felt fine and he anticipated playing Sunday. He is in a 2-for-41 slide.
“It felt good to play again,” LeMahieu said. “I felt like a baseball player.”
Matt Carpenter, sidelined since breaking his left toot on Aug. 8, ran on the field and will be among players reporting to training camp for Double-A Somerset, where there will be eight or nine pitchers. Boone anticipates Carpenter being available for the postseason as a pinch-hitter or designated hitter.
Right-hander Frankie Montas, sidelined since Sept. 16 by inflammation in his pitching shoulder, has resumed throwing.
“I don’t know about the Division Series,” Boone said, “more likely beyond.”
After taking Thursday off, the Yankees will work out in the Bronx on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Rapper Kanye West isn't done attacking his former mother-in-law Kris Jenner. The 'Famous' hitmaker, who didn't mince his words about Kris in his Instagram rants earlier this month, took a subtle jab at the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch with his social media activity.
MUMBAI: Rapper Kanye West isn't done attacking his former mother-in-law Kris Jenner. The 'Famous' hitmaker, who didn't mince his words about Kris in his Instagram rants earlier this month, took a subtle jab at the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch with his social media activity.
Fans noticed that Kanye changed his Instagram profile picture to a picture of Kris.
While his move doesn't violate any rules, he obviously did it to provoke 'The Kardashians' star. It was only for a moment though, as Ye has now replaced the picture of his ex mother-in-law with a plain black image, reports aceshowbiz.com.
Prior to this, Kanye called out Kris in headline-making Instagram rants.
On September 1, the Yeezy designer praised Travis Scott (II) and Scott Disick for standing up against the momager.
"These my brothers I'm only one I ever seen stand up to Kris though," he wrote along with an image of Trav and Scott's name over a black screen. He then seemingly sent a message to Kris as writing, "Come fight me I love pain."
The 'Donda' rapper also called out ex-wife Kim Kardashian's mother for supporting her daughters when they shot for Playboy. In the post, he admitted to having an addiction to porn, saying it "destroyed" his family.
"Don't let Kris make you do playboy like she made (Kylie Jenner) and Kim do," the 45-year-old hip-hop star wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of Kylie's former assistant, Victoria Villarroel.
"Hollywood is a giant brothel Pornography destroyed my family I deal with the addiction instagram promotes it Not gonna let it happen to Northy and Chicago."
Kanye then shared a screenshot of a message from Kim, who relayed a message from Kris. "From my mom- PLEASE. Tell him to please stop mentioning my name. I'm almost 67 years old and I don't always feel great and this stresses me to no end," Kim's alleged text read.
To that, he replied, "Y'all don't have so so over my black children and where they go to school. They will not do playboy and sex tapes."
He also revealed that they were beefing over his and Kim's childrens' schooling.
The rapper apparently wanted their children, who currently attend a leading private school in Los Angeles, to be transferred to his own newly opened Donda Academy.
Not stopping there, the rapper additionally posted a screenshot of his text messages where Kim asked him "to stop". Later, Kanye insinuated that he and Kim had found a solution regarding their children's education.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Myles Garrett will not play in Sunday’s game against Atlanta, giving the Browns star defensive end more time to recover from multiple injuries suffered when he crashed his Porsche earlier in the week.
The All-Pro hurt his shoulder, biceps, had several cuts and bruises, and broke a blood vessel in his left eye when he lost control while speeding near his home. Garrett veered into a ditch, hit a fire hydrant and flipped his car several times on Monday after practice.
The Browns listed him as questionable Friday before downgrading the 26-year-old to out on Saturday before flying to Georgia to take on the Falcons. Garrett, who cleared concussion protocol, did not make the trip.
Speaking more softly than usual on Friday with signs of his accident apparent in an abrasion on his forehead and bright redness in his injured eye, Garrett said he felt fortunate to walk away from the wreck. A female passenger also suffered minor injuries.
“I’m glad that everything worked out in a positive light,” Garrett said. “We’re both healthy, both walking around. Just blessed with another day.”
Garrett has been cited numerous times by police for speeding in the past few years. He said the accident was a “wake-up” call and pledged to be more careful driving.
“I don’t think it takes something as drastic as this to tell me that I need to slow down,” Garrett said. “It’s about listening to my loved ones, hearing them out, and understanding that it is serious every time you get into the car.”
Garrett was cited by the Ohio Highway Patrol for losing control of his car. Garrett told an officer he thought he was going 65 mph in a 45 mph zone. In a post-crash report, the highway patrol said Garrett was driving at an “unsafe speed for the road being traveled.”
The highway patrol ruled out alcohol, drugs or distracted driving as causes for the accident.
One the NFL’s elite pass rushers, Garrett is one sack away from passing Clay Matthews for the team’s career mark.
The Browns defense, plagued by communication breakdowns in Weeks 1 and 2, has been dealing with numerous injuries lately. Cleveland could also be without their other starting end, Jadeveon Clowney, who is listed as questionable for Sunday with an ankle injury.
Clowney sat out last week’s win over Pittsburgh with the injury and hasn’t practiced. If he’s also out, the Browns will start rookie Alex Wright and Isaac Rochell.
Top cornerback Denzel Ward (back, ribs) and linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (groin) missed practice earlier this week. Starting linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. suffered a season-ending quadriceps injury against the Steelers. Jacob Phillips will take Walker’s spot.
“I don’t believe that there are backups in the NFL,” defensive coordinator Joe Woods said. “I just believe there are starters-in-waiting. Some of the guys are still developing and learning, but I trust those guys.”
Before traveling, the Browns signed tight end Miller Forristall to the active roster from the practice squad, and elevated defensive tackle Roderick Perry II and defensive end Curtis Weaver from the practice squad.

Mediator: Ousted Burkina Faso leader offers resignation

- Country:
- Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso's ousted coup leader has offered his resignation as long as his security and other conditions were met, and the new junta leader who overthrew him has accepted the deal, religious leaders mediating the West African nation's latest political crisis said Sunday.
A junta spokesman later announced on state television that their leader, Capt. Ibrahim Traore, officially has been named head of state following the Friday coup that ousted Lt. Col. Paul Henri Sandaogo Damiba. Their power grab marked Burkina Faso's second military coup this year, deepening fears that the political chaos could divert attention from an Islamic insurgency whose violence has killed thousands and forced 2 million to flee their homes. It followed unrest in Ouagadougou, the capital, in which mobs on Saturday attacked the French embassy and other French-related sites, wrongly believing that they were sheltering Damiba.
Along with agreeing not to harm or prosecute him, Damiba also asked Traore and the new junta leadership to respect the commitments already made to the West African regional bloc ECOWAS. Damiba, who came to power in a coup last January, had recently reached an agreement to hold an election by 2024.
“President Paul Henri Sandaogo Damiba proposed his own resignation in order to avoid clashes,” said Hamidou Yameogo, a spokesman for the mediation efforts.
Traore accepted the conditions, religious leaders said, but there was no immediate confirmation by Damiba himself of an official resignation. His whereabouts have remained unknown since the Friday night coup.
Amid the mediation, the new junta leadership also called for an end to the unrest.
In a statement broadcast on state television, junta spokesman Capt. Kiswendsida Farouk Azaria Sorgho called on people to “desist from any act of violence and vandalism'' especially those against the French Embassy or the French military base. Anti-French sentiment rose sharply after the new junta alleged that interim president Damiba was sheltering at a French military base following his ouster. France vehemently denied the allegation, but soon protesters with torches thronged the perimeter of the French Embassy in Ouagadougou.
Saturday's violence was condemned by the French Foreign Ministry, which denied any involvement in the rapidly developing events. French Institutes in Ouagadougou and the country's second-largest city, Bobo-Dioulasso, had also been targeted and French citizens were urged to be very cautious.
“The situation is very volatile in Burkina Faso,” a French spokeswoman told The Associated Press on Sunday. Damiba came to power in January promising to secure the country from jihadi violence. However, the situation only deteriorated as jihadis imposed blockades on towns and have intensified attacks. Last week, at least 11 soldiers were killed and 50 civilians went missing after a supply convoy was attacked by gunmen in Gaskinde commune in the Sahel. The group of officers led by Traore said Friday that Damiba had failed and was being removed.
To some in Burkina Faso's military, Damiba also was seen as too cozy with former colonizer France, which maintains a military presence in Africa's Sahel region to help countries fight Islamic extremists.
Some who support the new coup leader, Traore, have called on Burkina Faso's government to seek Russian support instead. Outside the state broadcaster on Sunday, supporters of Traore were seen cheering and waving Russian flags. In neighboring Mali, the coup leader has invited Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group to help with security, a move than has drawn global condemnation and accusations of human rights abuses.
Conflict analysts say Damiba was probably too optimistic about what he could achieve in the short term but that a change at the top didn't mean that the country's security situation would improve. “The problems are too profound and the crisis is deeply rooted,” said Heni Nsaibia, a senior researcher at the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project, adding that ''militant groups will most likely continue to exploit'' the country's political disarray.
The international community widely condemned the ouster of Damiba, who himself overthrew the country's democratically elected president in January. U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price said the United States “is deeply concerned by events in Burkina Faso.” “We call on those responsible to de-escalate the situation, prevent harm to citizens and soldiers, and return to a constitutional order,” he said.
The African Union and the West African region bloc known as ECOWAS also sharply criticized the developments, urging the military to “avoid escalation and in all circumstances to protect civilians.”

Hollywood star Angelina Jolie wants the world to divert its attention to what's happening in Iran currently.
MUMBAI: Hollywood star Angelina Jolie wants the world to divert its attention to what's happening in Iran currently.
The middle-eastern country is currently gripped by protests from women following the death of a 22-year-old woman named Mahsa Amini, reports 'People' magazine. Amini died on September 16 in Iran after being detained by the country's Morality Police for allegedly wearing a Hijab too loosely.
'People' further states that demonstrations broke out following Amini's death, and the ongoing unrest has seen women burning their Hijabs or cutting their hair in protest. The Academy Award winner shared several images taken in the streets of Iran to Instagram, raising awareness about the ongoing situation in the Middle East.
"Respect to the brave, defiant, fearless women of Iran," Jolie wrote in the caption of her post. "All those who have survived and resisted for decades, those taking to the streets today, and Mahsa Amini and all young Iranians like her."
"Women don't need their morals policed, their minds re-educated, or their bodies controlled. They need freedom to live and breathe without violence or threats," Jolie, 47, continued. "To the women of Iran, we see you #WomanLifeFreedom #MahsaAmini."
In the post, Jolie also included a statement that briefly explained the conflict taking place in the country, "Protests in Iran are in their 12th consecutive night," the slide read. "They started in response to the death of 22 year old Mahsa Amini while in morality police custody (sic)."
"Since the protests began, riot police have attacked protestors with brutal force, and more than 70 people have reportedly been killed," it added.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and the Los Angeles Dodgers became the first National League team in more than a century to win 110 regular-season games, taking advantage of 10 walks to rally past the Colorado Rockies 6-4 on Saturday night.
Cody Bellinger had three hits and two RBIs for the NL West champions, who are 110-48 after overcoming a three-run deficit with the help of six free passes in the seventh inning.
Honus Wagner and the 1909 Pittsburgh Pirates (110-42) were the previous NL club to win 110 games. The last big league team to accomplish the feat was the 2001 Seattle Mariners (116-46).
“I know his baseball card is worth a lot of money — a lot of money,” Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner said when asked what he knew about Wagner. “And it recently sold for a lot of money, too.”
Joey Gallo had a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the eighth for the Dodgers, and Bellinger added an RBI single to make it 6-4. Bellinger also tied the score with a sac fly in the seventh.
Los Angeles won for the sixth time in seven games and has already clinched home-field advantage through the World Series. The Dodgers have four regular-season games remaining, not enough to catch the 2001 Mariners and 1906 Chicago Cubs (116-36) for the most wins in major league history.
“That’s a round number (of wins); it’s a big number,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “To celebrate that is a great thing and hopefully we are having this conversation tomorrow with 111. I think our guys are in the moment appreciating it, but we have our eye on some bigger things, too.”
Ryan McMahon and Randal Grichuk homered for the last-place Rockies, who lost their seventh consecutive game and 11th in the past 12.
Dodgers rookie starter Michael Grove gave four runs and six hits over five innings. Evan Phillips (7-3) pitched a scoreless eighth and Brusdar Graterol worked the ninth for his fourth save.
With the Rockies leading 4-1 in the seventh, Colorado right-handers Dinelson Lamet and Chad Smith each walked three batters in the inning. The first five Dodgers batters all walked, with free passes to Gallo and Austin Barnes forcing home runs to cut the deficit to 4-3.
“That was not a major league inning, I’ll put it that way,” Colorado manager Bud Black said. “It was ugly, no doubt about it. And you know, we gifted the Dodgers that seventh inning. Yeah, obviously they have a really good record, but tonight, you look at it, you’ve got to feel like you beat yourself.”
Bellinger’s sacrifice fly tied the score. It came on the 31st pitch of the inning, but the first one to be put in play.
“When those kind of situations happen, you become even more patient,” Freeman said. “That’s just kind of our M.O. We’re going to work pitchers, we’re going to make you throw a lot of pitches. You would think you would get one hit in a situation like that, but we did what we needed to do to tie the game.”
The Dodgers loaded the bases with none out in the eighth on singles by Trea Turner and Freeman, and a walk to Trayce Thompson. Gallo’s sacrifice fly made it 5-4, and Bellinger added an RBI single.
Gavin Hollowell (0-2) gave up two runs over 1 1/3 innings in relief. Colorado starter Kyle Freeland permitted one run in 5 2/3 innings.
The Dodgers took a 1-0 lead in the third when Betts scored on a one-out single by Freeman, the major league batting leader. Betts led off the inning with a double, making him just the second Dodgers player with at least 35 home runs and 40 doubles in a season after Babe Herman in 1930.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Dodgers: OF Chris Taylor was a late scratch from the lineup with neck tightness. … Justin Turner, who has not played since Tuesday because of a bruised shin, also was scratched but is expected to return Sunday.
UP NEXT
Rockies: RHP German Marquez (8-13, 5.12 ERA) has seven career starts at Dodger Stadium with a 2.62 ERA in 60 innings.
Dodgers: LHP Tyler Anderson (15-4, 2.54) lost at Colorado on June 27 when he matched a season high with 10 hits allowed.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — TCU quarterback Max Duggan outran the Oklahoma defense for a long touchdown and lofted passes to wide-open receivers for other lengthy scores.
Oklahoma’s Dillon Gabriel never got much of a chance to match him.
Duggan went 67 yards for one of his two rushing TDs and threw for three scores, leading the Horned Frogs to a 55-24 rout of the 18th-ranked Sooners on Saturday in a second consecutive loss for first-year coach Brent Venables.
“We’re not very good obviously right now,” Venables said. “We’ve got a lot to get better at. We’ve got to give them answers and we’ve got to help get them better quickly.”
Gabriel was knocked out of the game in the second quarter when he was hit in the head while sliding by TCU linebacker Jamoi Hodge, who was ejected for targeting.
Players had to be separated after Hodge’s hit while Gabriel stayed down for several minutes, surrounded by the medical staff, before the Central Florida transfer walked off the field on his own.
Gabriel remained on the sideline without his helmet, and Venables said after the game his quarterback was being evaluated for a concussion. Pittsburgh transfer Davis Beville replaced Gabriel and struggled.
There was an even longer delay in the fourth quarter when Oklahoma defensive back Damond Harmon was carted off after being immobilized on a stretcher. Harmon flashed a thumbs-up as he was put on the cart in an emotional scene that included Oklahoma linebacker Kelvin Gilliam, a childhood friend and high school teammate, appearing to fight back tears.
Venables said a surgeon on site believed Harmon’s neck was stable, and a precautionary MRI was planned. The coach said Harmon had a history of back issues.
When Lincoln Riley shocked the Sooners by leaving for Southern California, they hired their former defensive coordinator after Venables won two national titles in that role at Clemson.
His defense was no match for Duggan and company as Oklahoma lost consecutive regular-season games for just the second time since 1999. The Sooners (3-2, 0-2 Big 12) opened conference with a home loss to Kansas State.
“We’re just not playing with great cohesion right now,” Venables said. “Giving up big plays on defense and turning the ball over, or just not being efficient on offense, are recipes for disaster.”
It’s the most points Oklahoma has allowed since a 63-28 loss to LSU in the 2019 national semifinals. The Horned Frogs (4-0, 1-0) had four touchdowns of at least 62 yards, topped by Taye Barber’s 73-yard catch during a 27-point first quarter.
TCU led 41-17 at halftime with 479 yards while finishing with 668 yards in coach Sonny Dykes’ Big 12 debut after four seasons at crosstown rival SMU.
Kendre Miller ran 69 yards for a touchdown to put TCU up 48-17 early in the second half and finished with 136 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries. The active FBS career leader in yards per carry increased his mark by averaging 10.5 yards.
“Had a bunch of big plays on offense,” Dykes said. “That’s the formula for us right now is if we can make big plays and take care of the ball, then good things are going to happen for us.”
Duggan took off to the right and beat everyone to the sideline on the long score, then added a 35-yard run before capping the final TD drive with a 2-yard run, finishing his day in the third quarter.
“I don’t think really (it’s about) the way we won, it’s just that we won,” said Duggan, who had 302 yards passing and 116 rushing said. “It doesn’t matter how much you win by, how it looks. You get the win, that’s a big deal, especially in this league.”
Both teams had committed just one turnover apiece coming in, but Oklahoma opened with a mistake that would be a sign of things to come. The Sooners won the toss and decided to take the ball instead of deferring, but receiver Marvin Mims fumbled on the third play of the game. TCU took advantage and opened the scoring when Duggan’s 19-yard scoring pass to Savion Williams finished a 46-yard drive.
When the Sooners weren’t being penalized for defensive pass interference (three times in the first quarter), they were leaving receivers wide open in the secondary. Taye was alone on his long TD, as was Gunnar Henderson on a 62-yard score.
Jovantae Barnes had 100 yards rushing and two touchdowns for the Sooners.
THE TAKEAWAY
Oklahoma: This is the second time in three seasons the Sooners have started 0-2 in the Big 12. They rallied to win the league in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, but were never manhandled like this.
TCU: The Horned Frogs averaged 10.2 yards per play while building their big halftime lead and finished at 8.9 after coming in second nationally at 8.1 yards per play.
POLL IMPLICATIONS
Oklahoma’s 31-week streak of being in the Top 25 is in jeopardy, while TCU has a good chance to get in for the first time since a one-week showing at 25th early in the 2019 season.
UP NEXT
Oklahoma: The Sooners come back to the Dallas-Fort Worth area for the Red River rivalry against Texas at the Cotton Bowl next Saturday.
TCU: The Horned Frogs will go for their first 2-0 start in the Big 12 since 2017 with a visit to resurgent Kansas next Saturday.

U.S. and Turkish officials discuss Ukraine and NATO in unannounced meeting
U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan met with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan's chief adviser Ibrahim Kalin in Istanbul on Sunday and discussed "progress on NATO accession for Finland and Sweden", the White House said in a statement. The two, whose meeting was unannounced to the media beforehand, also discussed Turkey's condemnation of Russia's annexation of Ukrainian territory.
U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan met with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan's chief adviser Ibrahim Kalin in Istanbul on Sunday and discussed "progress on NATO accession for Finland and Sweden", the White House said in a statement.
The two, whose meeting was unannounced to the media beforehand, also discussed Turkey's condemnation of Russia's annexation of Ukrainian territory. Turkey, a NATO member, has conducted a diplomatic balancing act since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. Ankara opposes Western sanctions on Russia and has close ties with both Moscow and Kyiv, its Black Sea neighbours. It has also criticised Russia's invasion and sent armed drones to Ukraine.
Sweden and Finland applied to join the military alliance in the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but NATO ally Turkey expressed concerns about their candidacies. The three countries reached a breakthrough agreement on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Madrid in June, with Turkey lifting its veto and Sweden and Finland agreeing to a set of steps to be taken to address Turkey's concerns.
During their meeting, Sullivan and Kalin also discussed "their support for peace negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the importance of dialogue and diplomacy to resolve any disagreements in the Eastern Mediterranean, and their condemnation of Russia’s attempted, illegal annexation of Ukrainian territory," the statement said.

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is hosting quiz-based reality show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati, says that each hour on the set has been a revelation for him and has brought an emotion that he had not experienced in such volume.
MUMBAI: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is hosting quiz-based reality show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati, says that each hour on the set has been a revelation for him and has brought an emotion that he had not experienced in such volume.
Amitabh has been a part of the show since its inception in 2000. However, it was in 2003, when he was not a part of the show and superstar Shah Rukh Khan stepped into his shoes for the third season.
"Each hour on the sets of KBC has been a huge revelation for me and has brought an emotion that perhaps I had not experienced in such volume and fervour .. " he wrote in his blog.
Big B added: "Love presents an immense gravity that pulls one down from whatever perched position they have been in .. gives its immense environ to encompass all .. its so involving and at times for keeps .. the affection in speech and form .."
"The words of togetherness and admiration have always been so inspiring .. they are the reason for the liberated fervour .. they .. the audience .. the younger generation the older and the mid range .. when there is none of this .. life lies listless and weak."
On the film front, Amitabh, who was last seen on the big screen in Ayan Mukerji's 'Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva', is gearing up for the release of upcoming film 'Good Bye'.

BJP has again proved its incompetence in Swachh rankings, says AAP; MCD refutes
- Country:
- India
The Aam Aadmi Party on Sunday said the positions secured by the erstwhile civic bodies of Delhi in the latest cleanliness survey have once again proved the BJP's ''incompetence'' and demanded that the municipal polls be held at the earliest in the national capital.
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) shot back, saying it categorically dismisses the allegation that the corporations' rankings have dropped in Swachh Survekshan 2022 vis-a-vis the previous year.
The AAP's reaction came a day after the annual cleanliness survey conducted by the Centre placed the erstwhile North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) in the bottom 10 among 45 cities in the country.
In Swachh Survekshan 2022, the NDMC was ranked 37th, the EDMC 34th and the SDMC 28th.
AAP's MCD election in-charge Durgesh Pathak said Delhi's rank in Swachh Survekshan 2022 is a ''matter of shame'', adding that it has once again proved the ''incompetence of the BJP, which has been ruling the MCD for 15 years''.
''The BJP has brought shame to Delhi yet again. The BJP-ruled MCD has been adjudged as the worst of the lot in the swachhta survey this year,'' he said.
The MCD, in a statement, pointed out that the erstwhile SDMC has bagged the 28th rank, which is three ranks better than its position last year, the EDMC has got the 34th rank, which is an improvement of six ranks, and the NDMC has got the 37th rank, which is a substantive improvement of eight ranks than its last year's performance in the category of cities with a population of more than 10 lakh.
In the previous edition of the survey, the NDMC was ranked 45th, the EDMC 40th and the SDMC 31st.
''Thus, to say that the MCD's ranks have only fallen in the last five-six years is not only a falsehood but also discredits the efforts put in by individuals, RWAs/MTAs and civil society to make Delhi clean,'' the civic body said.
In the last few years, ''no efforts have been missed in crippling the civic corporations'' of the city, it alleged, adding that funds under various heads were not provided regularly.
Despite these hardships, all the erstwhile corporations have ''improved their previous year's rankings'', the MCD said.
''We are pleased to see the civic bodies climbing up the ladder. Various initiatives taken by the three corporations until they merged into one MCD, particularly by the SDMC, have paid off. Next year, we would like to see ourselves among the top contenders,'' a senior civic official had said on Saturday after the results of the survey were announced.
All three erstwhile municipal corporations were ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) till their unification as the MCD in May.
Pathak, the MLA from Rajinder Nagar, alleged that the MCD, under the saffron party, has made the capital a centre of garbage and dirt.
''Today, there is a garbage problem all across Delhi and people want to get rid of it. We demand that the MCD polls are held at the earliest,'' he said, asserting that the Arvind Kejriwal-led party will record a landslide victory in the election and transform the MCD.
If voted to power, the AAP will make Delhi the cleanest city, Pathak added.
Polls to reconstitute a new civic body are yet to be announced by the BJP-led Centre.
However, hoping that the election will be held by the year-end, the AAP's Delhi unit has intensified its preparations.
With an eye on the MCD polls, the AAP launched a month-long campaign recently to corner the BJP on various civic issues, primarily cleanliness.

Haiti confirms case of cholera and is investigating suspect cases
Haitian authorities confirmed one case of cholera and are reviewing several suspected cases, its Health Ministry said on Sunday, two years after the country emerged from a massive cholera outbreak that has been blamed on a United Nations peacekeeping force sent to the Caribbean country.
A new bout of cholera would be devastating for Haiti, where economic activity has ground to a halt due to blockade by armed gangs that has prevented fuel distribution, leading to critical shortages that have shuttered businesses and many hospitals.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mark Hubbard ran off five straight birdies on the back nine and ended with a superb shot to 4 feet, giving him a 7-under 65 and a one-shot lead Saturday n the Sanderson Farms Championship as he goes for his first PGA Tour victory.
Hubbard has gone 163 starts over six years without winning, and this would be as good a chance as any. It’s his first time to hold a 54-hole lead on tour.
Mackenzie Hughes of Canada showed how much can change in so little time at the Country Club of Jackson.
Hughes sent his approach long on the 18th and faced a difficult putt up closely mown grass to a green and raced away from him. Right went it looked as though Hubbard might have a three-shot lead, Hughes holed the putt from 30 feet for birdie and a 68.
Hubbard was at 15-under 201, one shot ahead of Hughes.
Scott Stallings also in the mix when he chipped out of the bushes to 10 feet on the reachable par-4 15th to reach 14 under. But then after going 51 straight holes without a bogey, Stallings missed the fairways to the left on the 16th and 18th holes and made bogey on both of them.
He shot 68 and was three shots behind along with Honda Classic winner Sepp Straka (69) and Garrick Higgo (68), who bounced back nicely from a double bogey on the 12th hole when he had wedge in his hand from 119 yards in the fairway.
Thomas Detry of Belgium, who started the third round tied with Hughes, had only one birdie on a day of good scoring, shot 74 and fell seven shots behind.
Former PGA champion Keegan Bradley set the tone early with a 64 that left him four behind at the end of the day. On this course, it’s important to take advantage of a stretch on the back nine with a pair of par 5s and a reachable par 4.
That’s what the 33-year-old Hubbard did as well as anyone.
“I did a good job taking advantage of the gettable holes,” he said.
His streak of five birdies began on the par-5 11th with a pitch to tap-in range. He made a pair of 8-foot birdies on the next two holes, two-putted from 50 feet on the par-5 14th and then chipped nicely behind the green on the short 16th for a 4-foot birdie.
His day ended with a beautiful mid-iron that covered the flag and settled just to the right.
“It didn’t feel as exciting as I’m sure the scorecard looks because I was in the right spot every time,” Hubbard said.
Hughes also did well through the scoring stretch and nearly pulled off a birdie from the bushes, just like Stallings did, on the 15th. He dropped back with a tee shot that left him no room between the trees to reach the green. But the finish was ideal.
“It was big,” Hughes said. “I thought when I put myself back there it was going to be a tough two-putt. To see that ball go in was a big bonus. It puts me one back tomorrow, and I wanted to be as close to Mark as I can.”
Hubbard’s best career finish is a runner-up finish in Houston in 2020. He didn’t have great expectations this week, mainly because of a minor injury. Seems his daughter accidentally knocked a knife off the table and onto his foot last week.
“So I had a hole in my foot this whole week, and I didn’t get to practice at all last week, so I was just kind of coming here trying to get ready for Vegas, to be honest,” he said. “I think that probably has a lot to do with expectations being low.
“That being said, I felt incredible about my game for the last six, seven months, so I’m just kind of trying to go with it and keep those expectations low and just try and hit good golf shots.”

NEW YORK (AP) — The numbers were aligned for Aaron Judge. The pitches were not.
Judge remained at 61 home runs on the 61st anniversary of Roger Maris’ 61st — he even came to the plate at the exact time Maris went deep.
Just eight of 25 Baltimore’s pitches to Judge were strikes. He walked twice and was hit by a pitch on an 0-for-2 afternoon, sparking a three-run first and a four-run seventh in the New York Yankees’ 8-0 rout of the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday.
“We know we got to capitalize on that. Otherwise, they’re going to keep on doing it,” said Giancarlo Stanton, whose 447-foot drive into the left-field bleachers capped the first. “I think they will either way, but it’s a good extra punch when we do capitalize.”
Judge was grazed on the left arm by a cutter from Austin Voth (5-4) leading off the first, walked in the second and struck out on a full-count curveball in the fourth — at 2:43 p.m., 61 years to the minute when Maris hit his 61st off Boston’s Tracy Stallard across the street at old Yankee Stadium on Oct. 1, 1961.
Against Spenser Watkins, he walked starting in the seventh and struck out on a changeup in the eighth.
“That’s probably a little bit weird for every pitcher,” Boone said. “You’re striking that balance between `I want to attack him,’ but `It’s the best hitter in the world.’”
Fans in the rowd of 45,428 booed every ball and chanted profanely at Orioles pitchers.
“It was pretty loud. Of course I heard it,” Watkins said. “It’s just Yankees fans.”
Judge is in contention to become the first Triple Crown winner in a decade. He leads in RBIs with 130 and at .313 is second in batting to Minnesota’s Luis Arraez, and also is tops with 110 walks.
AL East champion New York (97-60) has five games remaining: Sunday’s rain-threatened home finale followed by a four-game series at Texas.
“There’s no bigger stage and there’s no tougher place to do it,” Stanton said. “He’s at the top of the top and he’s made it look easy.”
Nestor Cortes (12-4) matched his career high with 12 strikeouts, pitching one-hit ball for 7 1/3 innings and walking two. Jorge Mateo singled inches over the outstretched glove of leaping shortstop Oswald Peraza with two outs in the fifth.
Cortes got 19 swings and misses among 93 pitches. He lowered his ERA to 2.48 ERA and would be seventh in the AL except he is 3 2/3 innings shy of qualifying. He got a standing ovation when he walked back to the dugout after his last pitch and tipped his cap to fans.
“I got a chip on my shoulder every time I go out there, a sense of urgency,” he said. “Every time I go out there and pitch, I always feel like it could be the last one.”
With second baseman Gleyber Torres moved to right as part of a four-man outfield — and waving to fans in the seats behind him — Cortes used his hesitation delivery to fan Ryan Mountcastle ending the sixth inning.
“I do it on the spot,” Cortes said. “I don’t really know what I’m doing until it happens.”
Jacob Barnes finished with two-hit relief in his Yankees debut, completing New York’s 16th shutout, its most since 1998.
Kyle Higashioka had three of New York’s 14 hits, including his ninth home run, and Torres and Josh Donaldson had two RBIs each.
Voth gave up four runs and seven hits in five innings for the surprising Orioles (81-77), who following a 110-loss season remained in postseason contention until mathematically eliminated by Seattle’s late-night win Friday.
Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde knew his team disappointed fans wanting to see No. 62.
“I get it. They want to see something special. It’s a cool moment,” he said. “We’re not trying to walk him. We’re trying to pitch him carefully.”
OUCH!
Anthony Rizzo was hit on the left knee by a pitch in the Yankees second, the 200th time he was hit by a pitch in his career.
HOME COOKING
New York’s 57 home wins matched 2009 and ’19 for its most at new Yankee Stadium.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Yankees: LHP Zack Britton was put on the 60-day IL, ending his season, his comeback from Tommy John surgery cut short after just three relief appearances because of arm fatigue. New York selected the contract of Barnes from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. … INF-OF Matt Carpenter, sidelined since breaking his left toot on Aug. 8, ran on the field and will be among players reporting to training camp for Double-A Somerset. Boone anticipates Carpenter being available for the postseason as a pinch-hitter or designated hitter. … RHP Frankie Montas, sidelined since Sept. 16 by inflammation in his pitching shoulder, has resumed throwing but may not be available until after the Division Series.
UP NEXT
RHP Chi Chi González will be brought up from Triple-A to make his Yankees debut and start against Baltimore RHP Kyle Bradish (4-7, 5.11) on Sunday. González made four appearances this season for Minnesota and Milwaukee. Luis Severino was pushed back to Monday, with Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon starting in Tuesday’s doubleheader and Domingo Germán on Wednesday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The shouts came from everywhere around the visitor’s clubhouse. From the showers, the cafeteria, the trainer’s room — from wherever Kyle Schwarber and other members of the Philadelphia Phillies were following along to see if they would take a lead in the race for the NL’s last playoff spot.
It was Schwarber who had just delivered two of Philadelphia’s five homers in the first four innings to help the Phillies earn a much-needed win as they try to end an 11-year playoff drought, salvaging a split of a day-night doubleheader with an 8-2 victory over the worst-in-the-majors Washington Nationals in a rainy Game 2 on Saturday.
And he was among those excited to see that Philadelphia (85-73) did, indeed, go up by one game on Milwaukee (84-74) with four remaining. The Brewers blew a lead and lost to the Miami Marlins 4-3.
That game ended about 25 minutes after the Phillies’ nightcap did.
Cue the cacophony.
“A lot of people aren’t in this position we’re in right now. A lot of people are making their offseason plans right now,” Schwarber said, “and we’re trying to make sure we’re not doing that.”
The Phillies made it to the postseason every year from 2007-11 — including winning the World Series in 2008 — but haven’t been back since.
Alec Bohm, Brandon Marsh and Matt Vierling also went deep in Game 2 for the Phillies, who quickly recovered from a 13-4 loss in the opener.
That was Philadelphia’s sixth defeat in seven games and left interim manager Rob Thomson answering questions about whether his players were panicking.
“I don’t sense panic,” Thomson said after Game 1. “I really don’t. I sense a group that really wants to get in the playoffs.”
It helped that Schwarber got things going on the second pitch of Game 2 from rookie Tommy Romero (1-1), who was claimed off waivers by the Nationals on Aug. 25.
Schwarber’s sixth leadoff homer of the season, and 19th of his career, landed in the second deck in right.
“That’s what’s special about this team — the ability to forget and move on. That was a really crucial, pivotal moment,” said Noah Syndergaard, who got the win with 5 2/3 scoreless innings as light rain fell for much of the evening. “That got us back on the right track and just going to skyrocket from here.”
Syndergaard (5-2) gave up two singles and two walks. Rookie Cristopher Sánchez threw the last three innings for his first career save.
Thomson on Syndergaard: “Impressive.” Schwarber’s superlative of choice for the pitcher’s performance: “Massive.”
Romero lasted 3 2/3 innings and gave up five homers. In all, he allowed eight runs — six earned — eight hits and four walks.
“Got to have a short memory here,” Romero said.
Schwarber homered off him again to begin the fourth, making it 8-0. That gave Schwarber his seventh multi-homer game of the season, 21st of his career, and raised his 2022 total to an NL-leading 44 long balls.
In the third, Bohm and Marsh hit back-to-back homers, before Vierling added his own homer to an earlier RBI triple.
“That was big,” Thomson said. “Getting out front. Then adding on. … That kind of settled everything down.”
In Game 1, which began after a 41-minute rain delay, Kyle Gibson (10-8) allowed seven runs in six innings.
“Any time you feel like you give one away, it’s frustrating,” he said.
In Gibson’s six starts in September and October, his ERA is 9.73 and Philadelphia’s record is 1-5. He has allowed at least five earned runs in three straight starts.
Luke Voit, Joey Meneses and Luis García homered in the afternoon for Washington, which is 55-103.
García, who drove in a career-best five runs, and Meneses, who scored four and knocked in four, each had three hits in Game 1.
Meneses, a 30-year-old rookie, has 13 homers in 52 games.
“Unbelievable,” García said.
That lopsided loss — which included poor pitching, shaky defense and so-so hitting — could have rattled the Phillies.
“We just made sure that we were able to kind of flush that, get it out of our head for tonight,” Schwarber said. “Because if you’re thinking about that stuff, you don’t know what could happen.”
SCHWARBER VS. NATIONALS
Schwarber, who played for Washington in 2021, has 10 homers against the Nationals this year, the most by a Phillies player against one opponent in a season since Mike Schmidt hit 10 against the Chicago Cubs in 1980.
PITCHING IN
Each team used a position player to pitch: Philadelphia’s Nick Maton in Game 1, Washington’s Ildemaro Vargas in Game 2. Vargas got a couple of hitters out with 39 mph offerings.
UP NEXT
The series finale Sunday — when showers are in the forecast — features Phillies RHP Zack Wheeler (11-7, 2.42 ERA) against Nationals LHP Patrick Corbin (6-18, 6.08). Philadelphia closes the regular season with three games at AL West champion Houston.

Ankita murder case: Resort had a presidential suite for VIPs, says SIT
- Country:
- India
The resort where Ankita Bhandari worked as a receptionist had a ‘presidential suite’ meant for VIP guests, DIG P Renuka Devi who is heading the SIT looking into the case said on Sunday.
''There was a presidential suite at the resort and whoever stayed there was called a VIP guest,'' she said.
She said that the team has made progress in the case and has interrogated all employees of the resort and revenue police personnel in the area, recording their statements.
''We have in our possession all the evidence that we collected during the interrogations, apart from the electronic evidence gathered from the crime scene which give important clues about the motive behind the crime,'' Renuka Devi told reporters here.
''The victim's friend has also been interrogated and has his statement recorded,'' she added.
Resort owner Pulkit Arya -- son of local BJP leader Vinod Arya -- and his two accomplices were taken by the SIT to the crime scene to understand the sequence of events at the resort on the day of the incident, the DIG said.
A Kotdwar court had earlier remanded the three men to a three-day police custody beginning Friday.
Renuka Devi said the investigation is now moving towards the role of the presidential suite at the resort.
''We are trying to conclude the probe as soon as possible,'' she said.
Rumours are rife in Uttarakhand about the identity of the “VIP” whom Bhandari was under pressure to offer “special services” to.
Bhandari, 19, worked as a receptionist at Vanantara resort – owned by Pulkit Arya – in Pauri district’s Yamkeshwar block. Her body was fished out from Cheela canal near Rishikesh.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The two most important characteristics that Georgia coach Kirby Smart seeks in his team are composure and resiliency, and the top-ranked Bulldogs needed to rely on both to rally past Missouri on Saturday night.
Or, as Smart put it: “We had to OD on those.”
Kept out of the end zone until the fourth quarter and facing a 10-point deficit, the Bulldogs got their run game going just in time to avoid the upset. Kendall Milton finished off one long drive with a touchdown, then Daijun Edwards got into the end zone with just over four minutes to go, lifting the Bulldogs to a 26-22 victory.
“They played really physical and really hard and whipped us up front, but I’m really proud of us,” Smart said. “We always talk about rising to the competitive nature of the opportunity and we did that tonight.”
The Bulldogs (5-0, 2-0 SEC) trailed almost the entire way before finally solving the red-zone woes that forced Jack Podlesny into kicking four field goals. Quarterback Stetson Bennett also struggled all night against the blitzing Missouri defense, but the leader of the defending national champions still wound up with 312 yards passing and no interceptions.
“It felt like an SEC game in the fourth quarter that we had to win,” Bennett said afterward. “They have pride too. They expect to win too. And they played hard, too.”
Brady Cook had 192 yards passing and a touchdown for the Tigers (2-3, 0-2), who have never beaten a top-ranked team in 17 tries. But they also struggled to reach the end zone against one of the country’s best defenses, forcing Harrison Mevis into kicking five field goals one week after he missed a potential game-winner in an overtime loss at Auburn.
“We were self-inflicted wounds away from winning that game,” Tigers coach Eli Drinkwitz said.
Georgia riled up the Tigers long before kickoff when several of them walked through their pregame drills, and Bulldogs defensive tackle Jalen Carter and Missouri’s Darius Robinson had to be physically separated.
The Tigers carried their angst right into the game. Their rebuilt defense behind coordinator Blake Baker forced an early fumble and bunch of punts, and Missouri capitalized on the good field position. Mevis made the first of his field goals to put the Bulldogs in their first hole of the season.
They wound up spending the rest of the night digging out of it.
Taking advantage of breakdowns by Georgia’s top-ranked scoring defense, Cook found Dominic Lovett for a 36-yard gain, then got 6-foot-6 tight end Tyler Stephens to make a slick one-handed grab for a walk-in touchdown and 10-0 lead.
After another fumble by the Bulldogs, Mevis added a 49-yarder to extend the Tigers’ advantage.
“We knew we were going to get everything they had,” Georgia center Sedrick Van Pran said.
The Bulldogs finally got on the score board on Podlesny’s 40-yard field goal, only to watch Division II transfer Cody Schrader rip off a 63-yard run on the Tigers’ next possession. He was finally tackled at the goal line, and the Bulldogs made a much-needed stand, but Mevis nevertheless added a chip-shot field goal to restore the 16-3 lead.
Even when the Bulldogs successfully faked a field goal late in the first half only to settle for one anyway, then had to kick another after a 16-play drive that took up half the third quarter.
The teams traded field goals again to make it 19-12 heading into the fourth quarter, and Mevis added a 54-yarder to extend the lead to 22-12 with 14 minutes to go.
Bennett began finding holes in the Missouri defense, leading Georgia on a 75-yard drive that Milton finished with a 1-yard run. After the Tigers were forced to punt — thanks in part to a personal foul penalty on right guard Mitchell Walters — the Bulldogs swiftly moved 68 yards for the go-ahead touchdown.
“This team bonded tonight,” Smart said. “Don’t get me wrong: We have a long way to go. But the resiliency that they showed tonight made me proud.”
FILLING IN
Tykee Smith started at the STAR position in the Georgia defense after starter Javon Bullard was arrested early Sunday and charged with seven misdemeanors, including driving under the influence of alcohol. Bullard did not make the trip.
HALL OF FAMER
Missouri honored former coach Gary Pinkel, who will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in December. He also is being inducted into the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame.
THE TAKEAWAY
Georgia had three turnovers, numerous drops and plenty of penalties in a lackluster win over Kent State last week. The Bulldogs had to overcome many of the same miscues against the Tigers, including a pair of lost fumbles early in the game.
Missouri did everything right for more than three quarters Saturday night. But penalties at important moments ruined a pair of drives, and a defense that had caused Georgia fits the entire way finally showed cracks when it mattered the most.
UP NEXT
Georgia: The Bulldogs return home to face Auburn next Saturday.
Missouri: The Tigers visit Florida next Saturday.

Burkina Faso president resigns on condition coup leader guarantees his safety
notably that against the French embassy and the French military base," the officer loyal to Traore said, urging people to remain calm. RUSSIAN FLAGS Damiba himself led a coup earlier this year against a civilian government that had lost support over rising violence by Islamist extremists.
Burkina Faso's self-declared military leader Captain Ibrahim Traore has accepted a conditional resignation offered by President Paul-Henri Damiba to avoid further violence after Friday's coup, religious and traditional leaders said on Sunday. According to the deal, announced at a press conference, Traore had agreed to seven conditions, including a guarantee of Damiba's safety and the security of soldiers who backed him, and the honouring of promises made to the West Africa regional bloc to return to constitutional rule by July 2024.
Damiba could not be reached for comment. A close family member told Reuters he left the country on Sunday. Traore said earlier that order was being restored after violent protests against the French embassy and days of fighting as his faction moved to topple the government.
Splits have emerged within the army, with many soldiers appearing to seek Russian support as the influence of former colonial power France wanes. At least three separate videos shared on online on Saturday and Sunday showed soldiers atop armoured personnel carriers, waving Russian flags, while the crowd around chanted "Russia! Russia!". Reuters has not verified the videos.
Traore's team urged people to halt attacks on the French embassy, targeted by protesters after an officer said France had sheltered Damiba at a French military base in the West African country and that he was planning a counter-offensive. The French foreign ministry denied the base had hosted Damiba after his ouster on Friday. Damiba also denied he was at the base, saying the reports were a deliberate manipulation of public opinion.
"We want to inform the population that the situation is under control and order is being restored," an army officer said in a statement broadcast on national television. Another statement said Traore would continue to act as president until a transitional civilian or military president is designated in the coming weeks.
Ouagadougou was mostly calm on Sunday after sporadic gunfire across the capital throughout Saturday between opposing army factions. "We invite you to continue with your activities and refrain from all acts of violence and vandalism... notably that against the French embassy and the French military base," the officer loyal to Traore said, urging people to remain calm.
RUSSIAN FLAGS Damiba himself led a coup earlier this year against a civilian government that had lost support over rising violence by Islamist extremists. Damiba's failure to stop the militant groups had led to anger in the ranks of the armed forces in the former French protectorate.
Divisions have emerged within the army also over whether to seek help from other international partners to combat the militants. The soldiers who ousted Damiba said the former leader, whom they had helped to seize power in January, reneged on a plan to seek other partners.
They did not name the partners, but observers and supporters said the soldiers want closer partnership with Russia, as did the soldiers who seized power in neighbouring Mali in August 2020. Hundreds of people, some waving Russian flags and supporting Traore's takeover, gathered in protest in front of the French embassy on Saturday and Sunday, throwing stones and burning tires and debris on Saturday and early on Sunday.
"We want cooperation with Russia. We want the departure of Damiba and France," said Alassane Thiemtore who was among the protesters. Anti-French demonstrators also gathered and stoned the French Cultural Centre in the Southern town of Bobo-Dioulasso. French business interests were also vandalised on Sunday morning.
Burkina Faso has become the epicentre of attacks carried out by groups linked to al Qaeda and Islamic State, after violence that began in neighbouring Mali in 2012 spread to other countries south of the Sahara Desert. Thousands have been killed in raids on rural communities and millions have been forced to flee despite Damiba's promise to tackle insecurity following his coup in January.
This week, at least 11 soldiers died in an attack in northern Burkina Faso. Dozens of civilians are missing following the attack.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Alabama did it once. That was probably enough for Nick Saban’s tastes.
The second-ranked Crimson Tide lost starting quarterback Bryce Young to a shoulder injury in the second quarter against Arkansas on Saturday in a 49-26 win over No. 20 Arkansas. For a period, though, Alabama appeared in trouble without the reigning Heisman Trophy winner.
Saban, who has never lost to Arkansas in his 16 years as Alabama coach, is hopeful Young would be fine for the Crimson Tide’s game next week against Texas A&M — the only team to beat Alabama in the regular season last year.
“Bryce has a little AC sprain in his shoulder. We’ll have to take it day-to-day,” Saban said. “I think he’s OK. He doesn’t have a serious injury.”
After opening a 28-0 lead in the second quarter behind two touchdown series from Young and another two from his replacement, redshirt freshman Jalen Milroe, the Alabama offense began to sputter. Arkansas capitalized.
Milroe, who finished just 4 of 9 passing for 65 yards and a touchdown, and the Alabama offense had minus-1 yard in the third quarter. Then they saw their 28-point lead evaporate to five entering the fourth.
Arkansas rallied with its running game, trickery and Alabama’s own mistakes.
Arkansas ran for 187 yards on the ground, the most Alabama has allowed since Week 3 last year. Rocket Sanders, who entered the game as the SEC’s leading rusher, had his fourth 100-yard game of the season, going for 101 on 22 carries. His touchdown with 19 seconds left in the third quarter trimmed Alabama’s lead to five.
It came after a bad snap on a punt attempt resulted in the Razorbacks taking over on the Crimson Tide 3.
“We didn’t maintain our intensity. We let them get back in the game at one point,” Saban said. “The kicking game errors, the onside kick, the bad snap on the punt. Those were really our errors.”
They stopped making them in the fourth. Ahead by just five and facing a third-and-15 from his own 20, Milroe scrambled for 77 yards inside the Arkansas five. Three plays later, Jase McClellan scored from three yards and the lead was back to double-digits. Arkansas never recovered.
“It stopped the bleeding for sure because that was third-and-long in bad field position,” Saban said. “That was a huge momentum swing in the game, in my opinion. After that, we played better. After that, I think they didn’t play as well.”
Jahmyr Gibbs tacked on two more touchdowns in the fourth on runs of 72 and 76 yards. He finished with 202 yards and two scores on 18 carries.
Arkansas quarterback KJ Jefferson was 13 of 24 passing with 155 yards and a touchdown. Arkansas coach Sam Pittman said the quarterback hit his head on a play before exiting and with the outcome not in doubt, he chose not to put the quarterback back into the game. It was unclear whether that was because of injury or the score.
“Right now, we’re one-dimensional,” Pittman said. “We’ve got to be able to throw and catch and protect. We can’t just turn around and hand the ball off and beat really good teams.”
THE TAKEAWAY
Alabama: Always has answers. Without Young, it simply leaned into its running game.
Arkansas: Pittman was bold with an onside kick to steal a possession, but the Razorbacks’ defense couldn’t take advantage of Young’s absence.
HOPEFUL FOR THE HEISMAN
Young is among the favorites again for the Heisman Trophy in 2022. Saban said he didn’t put him back into the game because the injury limited his throwing ability.
“He couldn’t go back in the game today because I didn’t think he had much steam throwing the ball,” Saban said. “He’s had these before and in a few days he’s responded really well. We’ll just have to see how it goes.
BACK TO EARTH
Arkansas cracked the Top 10 two weeks ago after starting 3-0, but could fall out of the rankings after two straight losses to Alabama and Texas A&M. The Razorbacks lost three straight games last year before winning five of their last six.
“We’ve got to regroup,” Pittman said. “Last year we lost three in a row and turned it around. We’ve got to find a way to turn it around.”
POLL IMPLICATIONS
Alabama will likely stay at No. 2 in the rankings, but with more than half the season to play, Young’s status will likely determine whether they stay there for the long term.
Arkansas could drop out of the Top 25 following a second straight loss.
UP NEXT
Alabama: Hosts Texas A&M next week.
Arkansas: Travels to Mississippi State for Week 6.

Polls close as Bosnians choose between nationalists and reformists
Observers believe that Serb and Croat nationalist parties will remain in power, but some polls have suggested that separatist pro-Russian leader Milorad Dodik, who is running for the role of president of the Serb Republic, is facing strong competition from opposition economist Jelena Trivic. "Those who win the elections will also be held accountable to the people for finding the best possible solutions and answers to the world's and Europe's challenges, which will be anything but easy," Dodik, who boasts about his close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin, said after casting his ballot.
Bosnia's polls closed on Sunday as voters turned out to choose the country's new collective presidency and lawmakers at national, regional and local levels, in a contest between entrenched nationalists and economy-focused reformists. Election authorities said that 35% of nearly 3.4 million people eligible to vote had turned out to cast their ballots by 3 p.m (1300 GMT). Despite reports of irregularities and the detention of some people over ballot fraud, officials said the vote had proceeded in a satisfactory manner.
Bosnia is going through its worst political crisis since the end of its war in the 1990s, prompted by separatist policies of the Serb leadership and threats of blockades by Bosnian Croats. "I expect some changes at least for our youth," said Mubera Sarac, a pensioner arriving at a polling station in Sarajevo.
"It does not matter if old or new (politicians) win, they just need to change something in their minds for the sake of our young people," Sarac added. The first official results are expected at midnight, but political parties are expected to come out with their own results around 10 p.m.
Bosnia comprises two autonomous regions, the Serb-dominated Serb Republic and the Federation shared by Bosniaks, or Bosnian Muslims, and Croats, linked by a weak central government. The Federation is further split into 10 cantons. There is also the neutral Brcko district in the north. Election campaigning by ruling ethnic parties was dominated by nationalist rhetoric, focusing on themes of protection of national interests and criticism of opponents more than on issues such as jobs and soaring inflation.
NATIONALISTS SEEN STAYING DOMINANT A lack of reliable polls has made it difficult to predict the outcome, but many analysts believe nationalist parties will remain dominant and that the biggest change may come in the Bosniak camp, which is the largest and most politically diverse.
The leader of the largest Party of Democratic Action (SDA), Bakir Izetbegovic, is running for the role of Bosniak presidency member in what is seen as a tight race with Denis Becirovic of the anti-nationalist Social Democratic Party (SDP), whose bid is supported by 11 civic-oriented opposition parties. Observers believe that Serb and Croat nationalist parties will remain in power, but some polls have suggested that separatist pro-Russian leader Milorad Dodik, who is running for the role of president of the Serb Republic, is facing strong competition from opposition economist Jelena Trivic.
"Those who win the elections will also be held accountable to the people for finding the best possible solutions and answers to the world's and Europe's challenges, which will be anything but easy," Dodik, who boasts about his close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin, said after casting his ballot. The Croat parties have warned they may block the formation of a government after the vote if moderate Zeljko Komsic wins the post of Croat presidency member.
They say his victory would be based on votes by majority Bosniaks, and that they will not regard him as the legitimate Croat representative. "I think that finally, after 30 years, it should be better for the people in whole of Bosnia," said Milenko Crnjak, after he voted in the western town of Livno.
"We have so much potential ... but young people are departing and the old are staying and dying." (Additional reporting by Reuters TV; Editing by Nick Macfie, Jan Harvey and Alexander Smith)

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — DJ Uiagalelei played well as he has all season to power No. 5 Clemson’s offense. The Tigers’ defense finally looked like the stellar group it was projected to be.
The result was Clemson’s most complete game of the season: a 30-20 win over 10th-ranked North Carolina State on Saturday night.
“That was a great thing to see on both sides of the ball,” fifth-year defensive end K.J. Henry said.
Uiagalelei ran for two touchdowns and threw for a third as Clemson beat the Wolfpack (4-1, 0-1) for the ninth time in 10 seasons.
The Tigers (5-0, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) won their ACC-record tying 37th straight at home, their 11th in row overall and a clear path back to league championship game they won annually from 2015 through 2020.
Clemson followed up its 51-45 overtime victory at No. 22 Wake Forest last week by shutting down North Carolina State in the second half to hold division tiebreakers over the two teams many figured would be the most likely to knock the Tigers out of title contention for a second straight year.
Instead, Clemson once more looked like the class of the league.
“I thought we did a great job tonight,” Uiagalelei said. “I thought we did a great job in execution, a great job taking what the defense gave us.”
It was Uiagalelei front and center at the game’s most critical stretch. After North Carolina State passer Devin Leary connected with Cedd Seabrough on the game’s first touchdown for a 10-6 less than two minutes before the half, Uiagalelei led a 75-yard drive he ended by stretching the ball over the goalline to send Clemson into the break ahead instead of behind.
When Clemson stuffed Leary with a pair of sacks to start the third quarter, Uiagalelei cashed in again with a 7-yard pass to tight end Jake Briningstool for a 20-10 lead.
“I thought DJ was in total command of what we were doing,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said.
Clemson’s defense did the rest, holding the potent Wolfpack to just a field goal over the first 29 minutes of the second half in building a 17-point lead. The Tigers also picked off Leary and recovered a fumble when N.C. State went for it on 4th-and-13 down 10 with less than nine minutes left.
“Lost the turnover margin, lost the line of scrimmage, you don’t win many games like that,” Wolfpack coach Dave Doeren said.
Clemson, which hasn’t lost at home since November 2016, matched Florida State’s ACC mark of 37 straight at home set from 1992-2001. The Tigers’ 11 in a row since last season in the longest current streak in the FBS.
“We’re definitely not there yet,” Henry said. “But I can say the mindset for four quarters definitely showed up tonight.”
Clemson also holds tiebreakers in the division over the Demon Deacons and Wolfpack.
Uiagalelei completed 21 of 30 passes for 209 yards and ran for a team-high 73 yards. He sealed the victory with 9-yard scoring run with about three minutes to play for a 31-13 lead.
Leary was 28 of 47 passing for 245 yards and an interception. He also rushed for a 4-yard TD with less than a minute left as the Wolfpack finished with their fewest points this season.
THE TAKEAWAY
North Carolina State: The Wolfpack have plenty of talented players, but got rattled right around halftime, when they allowed Clemson’s two touchdowns. N.C. State now has to cross its fingers that the Tigers lose twice in their final five ACC games.
Clemson: The Tigers have had to prove their offense was legit all season and, while they didn’t pile up the points like in their first four games, they made enough plays to show themselves once again as the ACC’s top contender.
BRESEE OUT
Starting defensive tackle Bryan Bresee missed his second game of the past three after dealing with a non-football medical condition that Clemson said involved blood tests and observation. Bresee and his family are still mourning 15-year-old Ella Bresee, who died of brain cancer last month and has been an inspiration to her brother’s team with the phrase, “Ella Strong.” Bryan Bresee got good news about the tests late this week and his condition won’t have a long-term impact, Clemson said.
HURT ‘PACK
North Carolina State thought it had turned a corner in its one-sided series with Clemson after a 27-21 OT win last year, largely knocking the Tigers from title contention. But Wolfpack still have some work to do. Leary said the team was “heartbroken and a little (ticked)-off” by the defeat.
UP NEXT
North Carolina plays No. 23 Florida State at home next Saturday.
Clemson goes to Boston College next Saturday night.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Shohei Ohtani has agreed to a $30 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels for the 2023 season in the two-way superstar’s final year of arbitration eligibility before free agency.
The Angels announced the deal Saturday, avoiding a potentially complicated arbitration case with the 2021 AL MVP.
Ohtani’s deal is fully guaranteed, with no other provisions. The deal is the largest one-year contract ever given to an arbitration-eligible player, surpassing the $27 million given to Mookie Betts by the Boston Red Sox in January 2020, a month before he was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Ohtani’s $24.5 million raise from his 2022 salary is by far the largest for an arbitration-eligible player in major league history. He shattered the previous record of $9.6 million set by Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom of the New York Mets when his pay was bumped from $7.4 million to $17 million before the 2019 season.
Ohtani is having another incredible season at the plate and on the mound for the Angels, regularly accomplishing and surpassing feats that haven’t occurred in the major leagues since Babe Ruth’s heyday. He is a strong contender for the AL MVP award again alongside the Yankees’ Aaron Judge, who has tied the AL home run record and is closing in on the batting Triple Crown.
Ohtani is batting .276 with 34 homers, 94 RBIs and a .888 OPS. The designated hitter is fourth in the AL in homers and seventh in RBIs, and he is on a 15-game hitting streak heading into the Angels’ home game against Texas on Saturday night after racking up four multi-hit games in his last five outings.
Ohtani is even more impressive on the mound, going 15-8 with a 2.35 ERA and 213 strikeouts. Opponents are batting only .207 against the Angels ace, who got within four outs of a no-hitter against the Athletics in his most recent start Thursday.
The 28-year-old Ohtani is slated to make his final mound start of the season Wednesday in Oakland, and he needs to pitch just one inning to reach 162 for the season, which would allow him to qualify for the season-ending AL leaders in pitching statistics. He is currently fourth in the league in victories, third in strikeouts and fourth in ERA.
Ohtani still will be a free agent after the 2023 season, and his future could be tied to the immediate fortunes of the Angels, who will complete their seventh consecutive losing season next week. The Angels didn’t trade Ohtani at the deadline despite being out of the playoff race again, and Ohtani is wildly popular among the club’s fans.
Ohtani repeatedly has said winning will be an important factor in choosing his home beyond 2023, and Angels owner Arte Moreno is currently exploring a sale of the team.
Moreno’s leadership has been widely criticized during the Angels’ mostly miserable run of play since 2009, and a fresh start with deep-pocketed new owners could be the best chance to persuade Ohtani to stay with the franchise he joined in 2018 from Japan. Ohtani immediately won the AL Rookie of the Year award, and he rounded into unique form last season after recovering fully from Tommy John surgery.

While his brother Shivpal Singh Yadav is already there, Samajwadi Party president and Mulayam's son Akhilesh Yadav visited the hospital after getting the news, party sources said.

In a tweet in Hindi, Singh said, ''On getting information about the ill health of former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mulayam Singh Yadav, I talked to his son Akhilesh Yadav over phone and enquired about his well-being. I pray to god that he gets well soon.'' In a tweet in Hindi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said, ''Received the news of Mulayam Singh ji's ill health. I wish him a speedy recovery.'' Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said, ''We all are concerned about the deteriorating health condition of Mulayam Singh Yadav and are praying for his health.'' ''Hope Shri Mulayam Singh ji is back to best health soon,'' RLD president Jayant Singh said on Twitter.

South star Trisha Krishnan read all five volumes of Kalki Krishnamurthy's book Ponniyin Selvan to prepare for her role in Mani Ratnam's movie 'Ponniyin Selvan: I'(PS 1).
MUMBAI: South star Trisha Krishnan read all five volumes of Kalki Krishnamurthy's book Ponniyin Selvan to prepare for her role in Mani Ratnam's movie 'Ponniyin Selvan: I'(PS 1).
She said: "When we started shooting for the film, the entire world was hit by the pandemic which led to a lockdown. So, during that period, I read all 5 volumes of the novel. I used to believe that historic fictional novels are hard to read but this was very interesting."
The 39-year-old actress rose to fame with Tamil movies such as 'Saamy', 'Ghilli', 'Aaru' and she also acted in several Telugu projects including 'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana' and 'Athadu'.
She appeared on 'The Kapil Sharma Show' along with 'PS 1' co-stars Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Karthi,and Sobhita Dhulipala.
She spoke further on her preparations for the role: "After finishing one book, you will be compelled to pick the next one, it's that intriguing. But the novel and the film are quite different because the way Mani sir beautifully summarised 5 books into 2 films is beyond my imagination. So, I call this film Mani Ratnam's 'PS 1'."
Vikram also added to the conversation in a hilarious way: "Half the payment was for reading the book!"
'The Kapil Sharma Show' airs on Sony Entertainment Television.

ATLANTA (AP) — Dansby Swanson isn’t surprised the Atlanta Braves have fought back to climb atop the NL East.
He’s just surprised it took this long to get there.
“Just keep going,” Swanson said. “This is no time to celebrate. There’s four games left. So much left to be had of this season.”
Swanson and Matt Olson homered off Max Scherzer, lifting the Braves to a crucial 4-2 victory Saturday night over the New York Mets and a one-game lead in the NL East.
The defending World Series champions beat aces Jacob deGrom and Scherzer on consecutive nights to take their biggest lead of the season in the division. New York, which held a 10 1/2-game cushion on June 1, faces its biggest deficit of the year with four games remaining.
Atlanta will try for a three-game sweep Sunday night, when Charlie Morton faces Mets right-hander Chris Bassitt, with the winner earning the season-series tiebreaker between the teams. Even though both teams are headed to the postseason, that’s important because the NL East champion gets a first-round bye in the playoffs.
“We’ve just got to take the same approach,” Olson said. “We know those guys are good that they started the last two days and we know Bassitt is a competitor as well.”
Swanson’s 24th homer, a go-ahead, two-run shot in the fifth inning, touched off a frenzy among the sold-out crowd at Truist Park, the ball sailing a few rows up into the seats in left-center to make it 3-2.
“In those big spots, he’s one of those guys I like up there,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “Ever since he’s been here, he’s shined in that spot. He keeps the game slowed down and stays in the moment and gives himself a chance.”
Olson hit his 32nd homer in the sixth, a solo shot into the Chop House seats in right to put Atlanta up 4-2.
Austin Riley led off the fourth with a double and scored on Olson’s single to make it 1-all.
Kyle Wright (21-5) gave up two runs and seven hits with one walk and three strikeouts in five innings as he won his eighth straight decision. The Braves have won 16 of his last 17 starts.
New York went up 2-1 in the fifth when Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor and Jeff McNeil hit consecutive two-out singles.
“We’ve scored four runs in 18 innings,” Mets manager Buck Showalter said. “It’s a real tribute to their pitching, but Max gave us a chance. He competed.”
The Mets led 1-0 in the first when Brandon Nimmo singled, advanced on a walk and a single and scored on Eduardo Escobar’s groundout. Wright, who threw 30 pitches in the first, stranded two runners in scoring position to prevent further damage.
Scherzer (11-5) allowed a first-inning single to Riley and a third-inning infield single to Ronald Acuña Jr., who advanced to third on a fielding error by Lindor at shortstop but was stranded when Michael Harris II lined out to center. Scherzer patted his glove and pumped his fist as he walked off the mound.
Scherzer was charged with nine hits and four runs with no walks and four strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings as the Mets were knocked out of first place for only the third day all season.
“I felt like mechanically I was working east-west and me I want to work north-south,” Scherzer said. “I didn’t feel like I had good put-away pitches. I didn’t feel like my two-strike pitches tonight were as sharp as I usually have them. When I made mistakes, they made me pay and just couldn’t efficiently pitch tonight.”
The Braves have won five of the last six against New York to tie the season series 9-all, outscoring the Mets 37-16 over that stretch.
Atlanta’s bullpen, which posted a 1.70 ERA in September, got a perfect inning from Dylan Lee in the sixth. Jesse Chavez faced four batters in the seventh, Raisel Iglesias faced the minimum in the eighth and closer Kenley Jansen pitched a perfect ninth for his NL-leading 39th save in 46 chances.
Since the Braves were a season low-tying four games under .500 at 23-27 after play on May 31, they have gone 76-32, tying the Los Angeles Dodgers for the best record in the majors over that span. They were a season-worst 10 1/2 games behind the first-place Mets on June 1.
Wright, the only 20-game winner in baseball this season, hasn’t officially become the first Braves pitcher to lead the league in wins outright since Russ Ortiz had 21 in 2003, but the Dodgers’ Julio Urias has 17 and can’t reach 20 before the regular season ends.
The right-hander will become the first Braves pitcher since Hall of Famer Tom Glavine in 2000 to lead the majors in wins. Houston ace Justin Verlander also has 17.
Wright began the game 1-4 with a 6.75 ERA in six career starts and one relief appearance against the Mets.
The Braves, who got home runs from Riley, Olson and Swanson off deGrom on Friday, lead the NL with 240 homers.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Mets: All-Star RF Starling Marte (right middle finger fracture) has yet to begin swinging or throwing. Showalter said Marte is experiencing less pain but not enough to take the next step in his recovery. Marte has been sidelined since Sept. 7.
Braves: RHP Spencer Strider still has not thrown as he gets treatment on a sore left oblique. Snitker said there is no timetable for the rookie’s return. Strider has been sidelined since Sept. 21.
NICE GLOVE
Harris ran back and jumped to catch Nimmo’s fly against the wall in center field for the first out of the third.
UP NEXT
Bassitt (15-8, 3.27 ERA) pitches against Morton (9-6, 4.29) as the teams conclude a three-game series.

Political parties condemn Gandhi look-alike as 'Asura' in Kolkata puja pandal
As a responsible citizen I abide by their request, Alt News Senior Editor Indradeep Bhattacharyya said in a fresh post.He said that a police officer informed him that the matter was being looked into.The views of the police or the organiser of the puja were not immediately available.Political parties such as the Trinamool Congress and the BJP condemned the alleged depiction of Gandhi as Mahisasura.The ruling Trinamool Congress state spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said if this was really done, it was nothing but sacrilege.It is an insult to the Father of Nation.
- Country:
- India
A Durga idol in Kolkata in which the ‘Mahisasura’ (Buffalo demon) was allegedly replaced by a crudely crafted Mahatma Gandhi-look alike has created controversy on Sunday, the birth anniversary of the father of the nation.
A journalist tweeted a purported photograph of the Durga idol, before deleting the post claiming that the police asked him to do so as it might create tension during the festival.
PTI did not independently verify the authenticity of that image shared on Twitter. It is claimed that the idol was found in a pandal in southeast Kolkata.
“I have been requested by @KolkataPolice cyber cell @DCCyberKP to delete my tweet on a particular puja in Kolkata as they think it might create tension amid the festivities. As a responsible citizen I abide by their request,” Alt News Senior Editor Indradeep Bhattacharyya said in a fresh post.
He said that a police officer informed him that the matter was being looked into.
The views of the police or the organiser of the puja were not immediately available.
Political parties such as the Trinamool Congress and the BJP condemned the alleged depiction of Gandhi as ‘Mahisasura’.
The ruling Trinamool Congress state spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said if this was really done, it was nothing but sacrilege.
''It is an insult to the Father of Nation. It is an insult to every citizen of the country. What would the BJP say about such an insult? We know the assassin of Gandhiji belonged to which ideological camp,'' Ghosh added.
The state BJP too castigated such a representation.
“If such a move had been made, it is unfortunate. We condemn it. This is in poor taste,'' BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar told reporters.
Every year, many puja organisers choose a theme, mainly social issues, and use their pandals, idols and lighting arrangements to depict it. And, may a time, the traditional Mahisasura was replaced by something else that represents social evil.

MUMBAI : Ace stand-up comedian, actor, and host Kapil Sharma revealed that he had auditioned for singing reality show 'Indian Idol' once. He also opened up about trying his luck in a similar kind of reality show 'Awaz Punjab di' in which he got selected but unfortunately he was not shortlisted in 'Indian Idol'.
While having a conversation with the guests and 'Indian Idol 13' judges Vishal Dadlani, Neha Kakkar, and Himesh Reshammiya, and contestants Vineet Singh, Rishi Singh, Navdeep Vadali, and Sanchari Sengupta, he told them that he used to participate in every reality show with the hope of getting selected.
"I have given 'Indian Idol' auditions during one of the seasons. The auditions took place in Amritsar and I was not selected. Then there was this 'Indian Idol' copy 'Awaz Punjab Di' in our area where I was selected."
At the same time, he got selected for the comedy-based reality show 'The Laughter Challenge' and decided to go for it.
"During that very time, I also got selected for 'The Laughter Challenge'. However, I had self-analysed and made a decision and I finally chose 'The Laughter Challenge'."
"Honestly, I used to give auditions in all kinds of shows with the simple motivation that 'kahin na kahin toh ghuss hi jaunga'(I will get an entry somewhere). But I am extremely delighted to see how 'Indian Idol' judges are here as the guests of our show."
'The Kapil Sharma Show' airs on Sony Entertainment Television.

SYDNEY (AP) — A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart are keenly aware of the legacy of success they are part of with the U.S. women’s basketball team.
They don’t plan on letting the incredible run end any time soon.
“I don’t think we’re showing signs of stopping, that’s for sure,” Stewart said. “We have a lot of people are entering their prime or are in their prime.”
Wilson and Stewart helped the U.S. to a fourth consecutive World Cup championship Saturday with an 83-61 win over China, setting a record margin for a gold-medal game.
“Everyone knows that when you come here, when you wear USA across your chest the (pressure) that comes with it,” Stewart said. “It’s just embracing that. All the legends before us and what they’ve done, how they’ve won. Each team is different and we need to make our imprint on history.”
This team left its mark on the World Cup as one of the most dominant teams in the Americans’ storied history, winning four straight gold medals and 30 games in a row in the tournament. Next up for this group is the 2024 Olympics in Paris. The Americans will be trying for an eighth consecutive gold medal there.
“This is something that’s special to us. It’s not lost on us what’s been done since 1996. I hear about it all the time,” U.S. coach Cheryl Reeve said. “What I wanted to do is make sure this journey was fun. Because I think there’s some times when you have pressure to win or the perceived pressure, it takes the enjoyment out of it.”
What started with Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi has now been passed down to Wilson and Stewart. With Alyssa Thomas the oldest player at 30, the domination could continue for years to come.
“It’s been an incredible journey just to continue to lay that foundation down like so many of the greats in front of us have,” Wilson said. “Now it’s our turn to step up and be in that situation.”
The U.S. (8-0) finished the World Cup averaging 98.8 points — just short of the mark held by the 1994 team that averaged 99.1. They won by an average of 40.8 points, topping the amount by the 2010 team.
“Maybe around the world they kind of looked at it and said, ‘Hey now’s the time to get the USA,’” Reeve said. “I think what we showed is that our league, the WNBA and professional basketball players in the United States are really, really good.”
As they’ve done all tournament, the Americans did it on both ends of the court, playing stellar defense as well as using a high-powered offense.
The game was a sellout with nearly 16,000 fans — the biggest crowd to attend a women’s World Cup game since the inaugural tournament in 1953 in Chile.
“You can’t say people don’t support women’s basketball,” Stewart said of the crowd. “If you look at all these people in this arena tonight. There was a lot of people cheering for us and against us, but they’re here watching women’s basketball.”
While the U.S. will be the heavy favorite to win the gold in Paris, there are new teams emerging. China won its first medal since the 1994 World Cup, and Canada reached the medal round for the first-time since 1986.
“I think every team will learn from this experience. You gain a lot of knowledge in the World Cup,” Reeve said.

When rain gods decide...NCP recalls Pawar rally after Rahul's rain-drenched speech in Mysuru
Several other Congress leaders too shared pictures and videos on social media of Rahuls speech in pouring rain in Mysuru on Sunday.Pawar had addressed the rally on October 18, 2019, canvassing for NCP candidate Shriniwas Patil for the bypoll, necessitated due to the resignation of NCP member Udayanraje Bhosale, who had joined the BJP.
- Country:
- India
NCP on Sunday drew parallels between Sharad Pawar's rain-drenched speech during a bypoll campaign in 2019 and Rahul Gandhi's address amid showers in Mysuru. '''Time has Proved and Time will Prove'. When the Rain Gods decide to Bless you, there will soon be a Storm in the Opposition Camp,'' NCP national spokesman Clyde Crasto said in a tweet, referring to Gandhi's speech at a rally in Mysuru during his ongoing Bharat Jodo Yatra. Crasto also posted pictures on Twitter of Pawar addressing a rally in Satara during a Lok Sabha bypoll in October 2019, and Gandhi's rally on Sunday. Several other Congress leaders too shared pictures and videos on social media of Rahul's speech in pouring rain in Mysuru on Sunday.
Pawar had addressed the rally on October 18, 2019, canvassing for NCP candidate Shriniwas Patil for the bypoll, necessitated due to the resignation of NCP member Udayanraje Bhosale, who had joined the BJP. Bhosale contested the bypoll as a BJP candidate and Patil defeated him by a margin of over 87,000 votes. NCP leaders had credited the victory to Pawar, whose rally in pouring rain in Satara was much-talked about in the elections.

Britain to acquire two specialist ships to protect underwater infrastructure
Britain will acquire two specialist ships to protect underwater infrastructure such as cables and pipelines, defence minister Ben Wallace said on Sunday, following leaks in the Nord Stream gas pipelines from Russia to Europe. European countries say the Nord Stream pipelines were damaged by "sabotage" but have stopped short of blaming Moscow.
Britain will acquire two specialist ships to protect underwater infrastructure such as cables and pipelines, defence minister Ben Wallace said on Sunday, following leaks in the Nord Stream gas pipelines from Russia to Europe.
European countries say the Nord Stream pipelines were damaged by "sabotage" but have stopped short of blaming Moscow. Russian President Vladimir Putin has blamed Western countries. Speaking at the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham, central England, Wallace spoke about "mysterious damage" inflicted to the pipelines but made clear that he saw the threat to Britain's infrastructure as coming from Russia.
"It should remind us all how fragile our economy and infrastructure is to such to such hybrid attacks ... Our internet and our energy are highly reliant on pipelines and cables. Russia makes no secret of its ability to target such infrastructure," Wallace said. "So for that reason I can announce we have recently committed to two specialist ships with the capability to keep our cables and pipelines safe."
Wallace said the first "multi-role survey ship for seabed warfare" would be bought this year and would be operational by the end of next year, while the second ship would be built in the United Kingdom.

ANAHEIM Calif. (AP)Jose Suarez of the Los Angeles Angels lost a perfect game in the seventh inning when the Texas Rangers’ Marcus Semien led off with a single.
Suarez ran into more trouble in the inning when Nathaniel Lowe hit a two-run homer to right field to give the Rangers a 2-1 lead.
The Venezuelan left-hander threw 77 pitches and struck out five in retiring the first 18 batters.
It was the first time Suarez had a no-hitter through six innings. His previous low in hits allowed at that point of a game was two, which has happened twice this season.
There hasn’t been a perfect game in the majors since Seattle’s Felix Hernandez threw one on Aug. 15, 2012, against Tampa Bay.
Suarez was trying for the Angels’ second no-hitter of the season. Los Angeles rookie Reid Detmers did it against the Rays on May 10. Shohei Ohtani took a no-hitter into the eighth inning Thursday night against Oakland.
There have been two other no-hitters this season, with five New York Mets pitchers combining against Philadelphia on April 29, and three Houston Astros hurlers against the New York Yankees on June 25.

Tensions mount as Brazilians vote in polarized presidential election
Brazilians voted on Sunday in the first round of their country's most polarized election in decades, with leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva favored to beat right-wing incumbent Jair Bolsonaro. I want to try to help my country to return to normal." Bolsonaro voted in Rio, and said he expected to win the election in Sunday's first round, despite his poor showing in surveys.
Brazilians voted on Sunday in the first round of their country's most polarized election in decades, with leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva favored to beat right-wing incumbent Jair Bolsonaro. There were reports of long, snaking lines across Brazil as many turned out to vote in a tense election, punctuated by episodes of violence and fears over a sharp uptick in gun ownership under Bolsonaro. Military police in Sao Paulo said a man entered a voting station in the Cidade Dutra neighborhood and fired at two police officers.
"The officers are conscious and receiving medical attention," they wrote on Twitter. Most opinion polls have shown Lula with a 10-15 percentage point lead, but Bolsonaro has signaled he may refuse to accept defeat, stoking fears of institutional crisis. If Lula wins over 50% of valid votes, which several pollsters show within reach, he would clinch an outright victory, foregoing a run-off.
Wearing a "Get Out Bozo" shirt, Rio de Janeiro resident Anna Luisa, 70, said she was voting for Lula for the first time. "I have to take down Bolsonaro," she said, citing his "homophobia" and his stance over Brazil's 1964-85 military dictatorship, which Bolsonaro has long supported.
Beloved by his fans, Lula is also loathed by many Brazilians for his graft conviction. Bolsonaro often refers to him as "the inmate." The leftist, who was president from 2003 to 2010, was jailed during the last election. But his conviction was later overturned by the Supreme Court, allowing him to face his rival Bolsonaro this year. Voting in São Bernardo do Campo, Lula acknowledged the dramatic turnaround in his fortunes after a conviction that he says was politically motivated.
"It's an important day for me," he said. "Four years ago I couldn't vote because I was the victim of a lie ... I want to try to help my country to return to normal." Bolsonaro voted in Rio, and said he expected to win the election in Sunday's first round, despite his poor showing in surveys. The former army captain does not trust the pollsters, saying their results do not correspond with the support at his campaign events.
"If we have clean elections, we will win today with at least 60% of the votes," Bolsonaro said in a social media video. "All the evidence we have is favorable to us." A winner could be announced within hours after polling stations close at 5 p.m. Brasilia time (2000 GMT). If no candidate wins over half of the votes, excluding blank and spoiled ballots, the top two go to an Oct. 30 run-off.
Bolsonaro has threatened to contest the result of the vote, after making baseless allegations of fraud, accusing electoral authorities of plotting against him and suggesting the military should conduct a parallel tally, which they declined to do. CONGRESS
Brazilians are also voting on Sunday for all 513 members of the lower chamber of Congress, a third of the 81 members of the Senate and state governors and legislatures. Though Lula leads the presidential race, Bolsonaro's conservative coalition is expected to hold a majority in both chambers of Congress. That could present challenges for the leftist to govern a country with rising hunger, high unemployment and an uneven recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lula and Bolsonaro have both promised more generous welfare spending next year, adding to pressure on the federal budget. The newly established autonomy of Brazil's central bank and Lula's choice of a centrist former rival as running mate have reassured some investors that he would not trigger a disruptive break in economic policy.
Lula has vowed to make a sharp departure from Bolsonaro's environmental policies after deforestation in the Amazon rainforest hit a 15-year high. Lula has pledged to combat logging, step up protection of the biome and local tribes, and make Brazil a protagonist in climate diplomacy. As in past elections, Brazil's military has been mobilized to heighten security at some 477,000 polling stations, using electronic voting machines that allow for swift tabulation of results by the national electoral authority (TSE).
Following Bolsonaro's criticisms of Brazil's voting systems, the TSE invited a record number of foreign election observers, including first-time missions from U.S. observers at the Carter Center and the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES).

SEATTLE (AP)Luis Castillo struck out eight in six innings of two-hit ball and the Seattle Mariners beat the Oakland Athletics 5-1 on Saturday to keep pace with the Toronto Blue Jays in their bid to host an AL wild-card series.
Castillo (8-6) retired 16 in a row to help Seattle to its fourth consecutive win. The right-hander settled down after giving up two quick hits and a walk in the first inning to fall behind 1-0 – about 12 hours after most Mariners left the ballpark after clinching the club’s first playoff appearance in 21 years.
”He was really in total control of the game and I would say that was probably the most stress-free game that we’ve had here in quite some time,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said. ”I felt with him out on the mound and how the game was going, the way the crowd was into it today coming off last night, it was a nice, perfectly executed ballgame with a W behind it. So we’ll see about sweeping them tomorrow.”
Jordan Diaz’s RBI single scored leadoff batter Tony Kemp, who singled on Castillo’s first pitch. But then Castillo recovered and struck out Conner Capel to end the first inning. Using his slider in concert with a two-seam fastball, he was flawless the rest of the way, teaming with Carlos Santana for three putouts at first base. Castillo finished off his outing with a strikeout of Sean Murphy.
”The slider is really good,” Servais said. ”And it’s a pitch he should probably lean on a little bit more. We saw it today with the movement with his fastball. It’s a heck of a combination. He likes to compete. There’s no question about it.”
Coming off two mediocre outings, Castillo’s best move Saturday might have come in the wee hours when he celebrated briefly with his teammates before going home early and getting to bed before the day-game start.
Castillo’s next outing will be in the playoffs, the goal general manager Jerry Dipoto had in mind when the Mariners traded for the All-Star before the deadline this summer. The fact that his slider is now working well has him ready for the role.
”Confidence was the key there to be able to throw that pitch,” Castillo said through a translator. ”It didn’t matter what the pitch count was.”
The Mariners rested most of their key starters a day after securing a wild-card berth, ending the longest playoff drought in major professional sports in North America. They’ve got five more games – Sunday against the A’s and four games against the Detroit Tigers next week – to catch the Blue Jays and stay ahead of Tampa Bay. The No. 1 wild card hosts a best-of-three series beginning Friday.
Leadoff hitter Dylan Moore doubled off opener Adam Oller (2-8) to start the game and scored on Santana’s RBI single two batters later. Sam Haggerty’s two-out single brought home Santana and Luis Torrens later in the inning for a 3-1 lead.
”I think he’s playing as well right now as he has at any point he’s been a Mariner,” Servais said. ”He’s got it rolling and you need guys going like that this time of year. He really set the tone today.”
Oakland’s J.P Sears kept the Mariners from extending the lead after entering the game to start the second. He struck out six, walked two and gave up just two hits, both of which the A’s wiped away with double plays.
”I thought Sears did a great job today commanding the baseball, utilizing the fastball at the top of the zone,” A’s manager Mark Kotsay said. ”His off-speed pitches got some swings and misses. …. The outing was great to end the year on.”
A near collision between outfielders Seth Brown and Capel on Torrens’ double in right-center helped Seattle start a rally for two more runs in the eighth. Matthew Boyd, Diego Castillo and Matt Festa provided three innings of hitless relief, sending the A’s to their sixth straight loss – their 102nd of the season.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Athletics: Oller came off the 15-day injured list Friday from a bout of rib costochondritis, the swelling of cartilage between the ribcage and breast bone. He gave up three runs and three hits, striking out two and walking two before yielding to Sears to start the second. Kotsay said using Oller as the opener allowed the team to manage the former starter’s work in a way he was familiar with.
UP NEXT
Athletics: RHP James Kaprielian (4-9, 4.43 ERA) finishes off the series. Kaprielian is 1-0 with a 2.37 ERA in his last three starts.
Mariners: LHP Robbie Ray (12-11, 3.58) attempts to halt a three-game losing streak in his last appearance of the regular season.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)Sergio Alcantara had a pair of two-run doubles for Arizona in the Diamondbacks’ 8-4 win over San Francisco which eliminated the Giants from postseason contention on Saturday.
Christian Walker went 3 for 5 with an RBI double, finishing a homer shy of hitting for the cycle, for Arizona.
D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said Walker is ”in a really good spot offensively.”
”I think he’s got an all-field approach and he can change mentalities,” Lovullo said. ”He can drive baseballs, he can stay on it and deliver clutch base hits like he did today.”
Josh Rojas added two RBIs and Cooper Hummel had a sacrifice fly for Arizona. Jordan Luplow had three hits.
J.D. Davis and Mike Yastrzemski homered for San Francisco, which ended its five-game winning streak. The Giants have won 10 of their last 12 games.
”I think the fight this team has shown, particularly in September, was really, really impressive,” manager Gabe Kapler said. ”Today was disappointing. We didn’t play our best baseball. I think that was pretty clear. But I think even in a game that wasn’t a quality game for us, we were still fighting at the end of that game.”
Drey Jameson (3-0) won for the third time in his fourth career start, allowing two runs on six hits in six innings. The right-hander struck out seven and walked two.
”I’m definitely OK with the outcomes of the last four outings I’ve had up here,” Jameson said. ”I personally don’t like giving up runs. I personally don’t like giving up hits. So there’s obviously a lot of work that can still be done to limit that. But what’s happened, I’m pleased with it.”
Scott Alexander served as an opener for the Giants, pitching 1 1/3 scoreless innings.
Jakob Junis (5-7) followed with 4 2/3 frames, surrendering four runs on eight hits to take the loss. He struck out four and walked two.
Thairo Estrada put San Francisco ahead in the third inning with an RBI fielder’s choice.
Arizona responded with three runs in the fourth on a sacrifice fly by Rojas and Alcantara’s first two-run double.
Davis homered to center in the sixth to bring San Francisco within one, but the D-backs erupted for five runs in the seventh, capped by Alcantara’s second two-run double.
Yastrzemski homered to right in the eighth. Ford Proctor added a sacrifice fly in the ninth.
THE BIG 2-0
Estrada stole his 20th and 21st bases of the season, becoming the first Giants player to steal at least 20 bases since Hunter Pence had 22 in 2013.
Rojas stole his 22nd base for Arizona.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Diamondbacks: 3B Emmanuel Rivera was a late scratch after an MRI revealed a small fracture in his left wrist. He will miss the rest of the season.
Giants: OF/IB LaMonte Wade Jr. returned after missing four games with thumb soreness, batting second and going 1 for 4. … RHP Logan Webb will be placed on the 15-day injured list with back stiffness, ending his season. ”He’s feeling a little bit of lower back stiffness, tightness, but this is much more about his workload and understanding where we are in the season,” Kapler said. Webb pitched a career-high 192 1/3 innings this year.
ROSTER MOVE
The Giants reinstated LHP Jarlin Garcia from the paternity list and optioned RHP Sean Hjelle to Triple-A Sacramento.
UP NEXT
RHP Zach Davies (2-5, 4.18 ERA) starts Sunday’s series finale for Arizona. He has lost four straight decisions since his last win on May 13. Alexander will open for San Francisco again.

Trump staffers not returning White House records, National Archives says
Trump is facing a criminal investigation by the Justice Department for retaining government records - some marked as highly classified, including "top secret" - at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida after leaving office in January 2021. The FBI seized more than 11,000 records, including about 100 documents marked as classified, in a court-approved Aug. 8 search at Mar-a-Lago.
Former President Donald Trump's administration has not turned over all presidential records and the National Archives will consult with the Justice Department on whether to move to get them back, the agency has told Congress.
A congressional panel on Sept. 13 sought an urgent review by the National Archives and Records Administration after agency staff members acknowledged that they did not know if all presidential records from Trump's White House had been turned over. "While there is no easy way to establish absolute accountability, we do know that we do not have custody of everything we should," acting Archivist Debra Wall said in a letter Friday to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
The Archives knows some White House staffers conducted official business on personal electronic messaging accounts that were that were not copied or forwarded to their official accounts, in violation of the Presidential Records Act, Wall said. "NARA has been able to obtain such records from a number of former officials and will continue to pursue the return of similar types of presidential records from former officials," Wall said in the letter, first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
She said the Archives, the federal agency charged with preserving government records, would consult with the Department of Justice on "whether to initiate an action for the recovery of records unlawfully removed." The Oversight Committee shared a copy of the letter with Reuters but has not issued a statement on it yet.
Representatives for Trump did not immediately return a request for comment on the matter. Trump is facing a criminal investigation by the Justice Department for retaining government records - some marked as highly classified, including "top secret" - at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida after leaving office in January 2021.
The FBI seized more than 11,000 records, including about 100 documents marked as classified, in a court-approved Aug. 8 search at Mar-a-Lago. The Justice Department and Trump's lawyers have been locked in a legal battle over how the records are handled. Government lawyers have been granted access to the classified documents but on Friday asked an appeals court to expedite its ability to access the non-classified documents seized in Florida.

DETROIT (AP)Eric Haase had three hits, including a home run, and the Detroit Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins 3-2 on Saturday night.
The Tigers have won seven of eight.
The Twins will have to win their final four games to finish with a .500 season.
”I don’t usually worry about things like our final record,” said Twins manager Rocco Baldelli. ”Our goal here is to build a team that can win a World Series, not finish with 81 wins. But they print the standings every day, so it isn’t like we can avoid seeing them. It would have been nice to have a winning record, but we have a lot more important issues ahead of us.”
With the score tied at 2 in the sixth, Javier Baez was hit by a pitch from Ronny Henriquez (0-1). Baez moved to second on a fly ball. Harold Castro grounded to first baseman Luis Arraez, but he missed Henriquez with his throw, allowing Baez to score the go-ahead run.
Daniel Norris (2-0) picked up the win with 1 1/3 scoreless innings. Andrew Chafin picked up his second save after A.J. Hinch used closer Gregory Soto in the eighth.
”When you have to go to the bullpen in the fifth, it is going to create matchup problems at some point, because you only have so many guys out there,” Hinch said. ”We had a plan, but we had to adjust it a lot as the game went on.”
Tigers starter Drew Hutchison allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks in 4 1/3 innings, while Minnesota’s Dylan Bundy gave up two runs on five hits in five innings.
”Our season started out pretty dang good for the first four months, and then it didn’t happen for us in the last two,” said Bundy, who led the Twins with 29 starts. ”We’ve got these last four games, and then I’m going to take a break before I sit down and assess everything that happened this year.”
After being shut out for the 22nd time on Friday – the most by an AL team in the DH era – the Tigers only needed three batters to score. After Akil Baddoo flew out, Riley Greene singled to right and the ball got by Matt Wallner for a two-base error. Baez followed with an RBI single.
The Tigers added a run on Eric Haase’s fourth-inning home run, but Mark Contreras made it 2-1 with a lead-off homer in the fifth. Two of the next three batters singled, bringing Jose Cisnero out of the Tigers bullpen. He struck out Jose Miranda, but Gio Urshela tied the game with a base hit.
Miranda led off the eighth with a base hit, and the Twins put in Billy Hamilton as a pinch runner. Alex Lange threw his 15th wild pitch of the season, moving him one ahead of Shohei Ohtani for the major-league lead, and Hamilton took third on Urshela’s ground out.
WELCOME TO THE MAJORS
Brendon Davis made his major-league debut for the Tigers, playing third base. He flew out in his first at-bat before striking out twice.
FILLING IN AS NEEDED
Hutchison, who didn’t make his first start until June 14, will finish the season ranked second on the Tigers in both starts (18) and innings (105 1/3). The 31-year-old hadn’t started more than five games in a season since starting 50 for the Blue Jays in 2014-15.
”Those were very meaningful innings for us,” Hinch said. ”In a year where we’ve used 17 starting pitchers, he’s been a guy who we’ve been able to keep in the rotation. He’s someone who has started Opening Days in the past, and now he’s been able to reinvent himself as a pitcher.”
UP NEXT
The teams finish their season series on Sunday afternoon. The game will start at 12:10, less than an hour before the scheduled start of the Lions-Seahawks game across the street at Ford Field. Joey Wentz (2-2, 3.54) will start against Twins prospect Simeon Woods Richardson, who will be making his major-league debut.

Gandhi look-alike as Asura in Kolkata puja pandal stokes controversy
- Country:
- India
A Durga idol in Kolkata in which the ‘Mahisasura’ (Buffalo demon) was replaced by a crudely crafted Mahatma Gandhi-look alike has created controversy on Sunday, the birth anniversary of the father of the nation.
Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha, organisers of the puja near Ruby Crossing in southwest Kolkata, changed the appearance of the idol that looked like Gandhi following instructions from the police after a complaint was lodged.
The organisers said the similarities were “just a coincidence”.
According to mythology, Goddess Durga slew Mahusasur in an epic battle to end his evil reign.
''The Durga idol that was worshipped here initially had a Mahisasur whose face looked similar to that of Mahatma Gandhi. The similarities are just a coincidence. After photos of it went viral, a police team visited the marquee and asked us to change the face,'' Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha state working President Chandrachur Goswami told PTI.
A journalist had earlier in the day tweeted a photograph of the Durga idol, tagging the Kolkata Police. He deleted the post later claiming that the police asked him to do so as it might create tension during the festival.
“I have been requested by @KolkataPolice cyber cell @DCCyberKP to delete my tweet on a particular puja in Kolkata as they think it might create tension amid the festivities. As a responsible citizen I abide by their request,” Alt News Senior Editor Indradeep Bhattacharyya said in a fresh post.
Goswami said the organisation didn't mean to hurt anybody's sentiments.
''The police asked us to change it, and we obliged. We put a moustache and hair on Mahishasur's idol,'' he said.
The move drew condemnation from various quarters.
''We don't support what Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha did. We condemn it. We too had differences with Gandhi ji's views, but this is not a way to protest against it,'' said Sandip Mukherjee, President, Bangiya Parishad Hindu Mahasabha.
Political parties such as the Trinamool Congress and the BJP also slammed the alleged depiction of Gandhi as ‘Mahisasura’.
The ruling Trinamool Congress state spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said if this was really done, it was nothing but sacrilege.
''It is an insult to the Father of Nation. It is an insult to every citizen of the country. What would the BJP say about such an insult? We know the assassin of Gandhiji belonged to which ideological camp,'' Ghosh added.
The state BJP too castigated such a representation.
“If such a move had been made, it is unfortunate. We condemn it. This is in poor taste,'' BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar told reporters.
Every year, many puja organisers choose a theme, mainly social issues, and use their pandals, idols and lighting arrangements to depict it. Many a time, the traditional Mahisasura was replaced by something else that represents social evil.

TORONTO (AP)Teoscar Hernandez homered, doubled twice and singled, Danny Jansen drove in five runs and the Toronto Blue Jays moved one step closer to wrapping up the top spot in the AL wild-card race, routing the Boston Red Sox 10-0 Saturday.
The Blue Jays maintained a 1 1/2-game lead over Seattle atop the wild-card standings with four to play. The Mariners have five games remaining following their victory over Oakland. Seattle holds the head-to-head tiebreaker.
Ross Stripling and four relievers combined on a four-hitter as Toronto shut out the Red Sox for the second straight day. The Blue Jays blanked Boston 9-0 Friday night.
”For us to come out and take care of business like we have the last two days l think is pretty telling of where we are as a team and getting hot at the right time,” Stripling said.
Jansen homered, doubled and singled and Bo Bichette went 4 for 4 in his major league-leading 56th multi-hit game as Toronto opened October with a 21-hit outburst, delighting a sellout crowd of 44,612.
”This year, we’ve seen every pitcher against the Boston Red Sox really well and we’ve taken advantage,” Hernandez said.
The Blue Jays are 15-3 against the Red Sox this season, matching the most wins they’ve ever had in a season against a single opponent. Toronto went 15-4 against Baltimore in 2002 and again in 2010.
Toronto’s 15 wins versus Boston are the most by any AL team against a division opponent this season. Houston won 14 of 19 meetings with Texas.
The Blue Jays have won eight straight over the Red Sox and 10 of the past 11.
”It’s been unreal, to be honest,” Boston manager Alex Cora said. ”They just have dominated us in every aspect. We talk about their offense, but we haven’t hit against them. We haven’t played well against them. There’s no excuses here.”
The Red Sox are 23-49 against AL East opponents.
”Next year we have to show up against the division,” Cora said. ”I’ve never seen anything like this.”
Stripling (10-4) allowed four hits and struck out three in six innings, reaching double-digit wins for the first time.
”It just seems like we’re clicking at the right time,” he said. ”We’ve been streaky, we’ve had our ups and downs, but we’ve always said this team is too talented not to click and it just seems like it’s happening here at the right time.”
Anthony Bass worked the seventh, David Phelps pitched the eighth and Jordan Romano got two outs in the ninth before Adam Cimber came on and struck out Triston Casas to finish it.
Making his final start of the season, rookie right-hander Brayan Bello (2-8) allowed four runs and a career-high 10 hits in four innings.
”For everything that went wrong this year, that went right,” Cora said of Bello. ”We feel that we’re in a great place with him.”
Jansen hit an RBI single in the second inning and doubled home two runs in the third.
Hernandez and Jansen each hit a solo home run off Zack Kelly in the fifth. Hernandez connected for the 23rd time, while Jansen’s homer was his 15th.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Blue Jays: Interim manager John Schneider said INF Santiago Espinal has ”sped up” in his recovery from a strained left oblique. The Blue Jays hope Espinal and OF Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (left hamstring) will be able to return in the final series of the regular season at Baltimore next week.
ROSTER MOVES
The Red Sox reinstated RHP Kaleb Ort from the restricted list and recalled RHP Josh Winckowski from Triple-A Worcester. Boston optioned RHP Tyler Danish and OF Jarren Duran to Triple-A. Ort became eligible to come off the restricted list with the expiration Saturday of a Canadian requirement preventing foreign nationals who aren’t vaccinated against COVID-19 from entering the country.
MILESTONE MOMENT
Batting for Bichette in the seventh, infielder Otto Lopez got his first big league hit with a single up the middle. Lopez celebrated his 24th birthday Saturday.
BIRTHDAY BOY
Boston’s Xander Bogaerts went 0 for 4 with a strikeout on his 30th birthday.
UP NEXT
RHP Michael Wacha (11-1, 3.06 ERA) starts for the Red Sox on Sunday against Blue Jays RHP Kevin Gausman. Wacha allowed season worsts of six earned runs and three homers against Baltimore in his previous start.

Bulgarian GERB ahead in election, but coalition outlook uncertain
Bulgaria's GERB party of ex-Prime Minister Boyko Borissov looked set for a narrow win in Sunday's election, the fourth in less two years, as voters sought predictability from a former leader amid steep inflation and the war in Ukraine. Exit polls by Gallup International and Alpha Research showed the centre-right GERB with 23.6%-25.5% of ballots.
Bulgaria's GERB party of ex-Prime Minister Boyko Borissov looked set for a narrow win in Sunday's election, the fourth in less two years, as voters sought predictability from a former leader amid steep inflation and the war in Ukraine.
Exit polls by Gallup International and Alpha Research showed the centre-right GERB with 23.6%-25.5% of ballots. Its main rival, the reformist We Continue the Change of Kiril Petkov, whose cabinet collapsed in June, was next with 19.5%-19.9%. If confirmed, the result would herald tough coalition talks ahead that could still end in a hung parliament or even another election.
Either would prolong policy instability and raise the prospect of Sofia missing its 2024 target date for entry into the euro zone. Many of Borissov's political adversaries accuse him of allowing widespread corruption to fester during his decade-long rule that ended last year, complicating efforts to put together a functioning majority.
But for some voters in the European Union's poorest member state, Borissov spells a promise of stability and diplomatic maturity needed to navigate Bulgaria's complex relationship with Russia. Once Moscow's key ally in the EU, Sofia has turned away following Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine, becoming the first EU member alongside Poland, an anti-Russian hawk, to see its gas supplies cut off by Gazprom.
During the campaign, Borissov appeared to thread carefully, saying he would toe the EU and NATO line on Russia policy but has also sent a signal to the pro-Russian electorate that he would be able to restore relations once the war ends. "There is a war in the world... It is important for the country to stay on its Euro-Atlantic course," he said after casting his ballot.
Petkov, a 42-year-old Harvard graduate, who refuses to govern with Borissov, said on Sunday Bulgarians were choosing between the politics of the transition period that was marred by endemic graft and a more transparent Bulgaria that would be a reliable EU member. Analysts say political parties, aware of economic risks from the war in Ukraine, a difficult winter ahead and voters' frustration with political instability, could shelve their differences and opt for a technocrat government.
"Many Bulgarians expect that compromises will be made and want to see a government. It will not be easy, but that is what the politicians are for," Boryana Dimitrova, with pollster Alpha Research, said after exit polls were released. Up to six other groups were expected to enter parliament, including the ethnic Turkish MRF party, the Socialists and the pro-Russian, nationalist Revival.

HOUSTON (AP)Cristian Javier threw six shutout innings and Jake Meyers had two hits in the Houston Astros’ 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night.
It’s the 103rd victory for the American League-leading Astros. They are tied with the 2018 team for second-most wins in franchise history behind the 107 piled up in 2019.
Javier (11-9) allowed two hits and struck out seven to extend his scoreless streak to 25 1/3 innings, which is the longest active streak in the majors.
”He was real good,” manager Dusty Baker said. ”He was locating his fastball, threw in a couple different sliders, threw more changeups and Maldy (catcher Martin Maldonado) directed him great through the game. I don’t think he shook him off all night that I saw. Boy, he was very good.”
Closer Ryan Pressly walked consecutive batters with one out in the ninth before pinch-hitter Yandy Diaz hit an RBI single on a grounder to left field with two outs to cut the lead to 2-1.
But Pressly retired pinch-hitter Harold Ramirez on a fly ball to end it and get his 32nd save.
”It just looked like he was a little rusty because he hadn’t been out there in a few days and hadn’t been in a save situation in I don’t know the last time,” Baker said. ”He couldn’t find his location and didn’t have the feel on his breaking ball but he made his pitches when he had to. We’ll take it any kind of way you can get it.”
Jake Meyers, who had two hits, got things going with a single to start Houston’s third and he advanced to second on a wild pitch by Shane McClanahan. Meyers moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by Maldonado before Jose Altuve walked.
Jeremy Pena put Houston up 1-0 on an RBI single. Yordan Alvarez then grounded into a forceout that left Pena out at second base.
A second wild pitch by McClanahan allowed Altuve to score and extend the lead to 2-0.
McClanahan (12-8) yielded five hits and two runs in five innings for his third straight loss.
Rays manager Kevin Cash was disappointed in the wild pitches.
”We’ve got to do a better job of executing in those moments,” he said. ”Good teams are going to take advantage, and they did.”
David Peralta singled twice for two of Tampa Bay’s three hits to reach 1,000 hits for his career.
The Astros had a chance to add to the lead in the fifth inning when Maldonado singled with one out before a double by Altuve. McClanahan then struck out Pena before retiring Alvarez on a long fly ball for the third out.
There were two outs in the sixth inning when Peralta hit an infield single for his 1,000th career hit. Randy Arozarena was out on a fly ball to end that inning.
Ji-Man Choi doubled with one out in the seventh inning. But rookie Hunter Brown retired the next two batters to leave him stranded.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Astros: RHP Josh James had surgery on his right forearm this week. Baker said he did not have a timetable for his return.
CLOSING TIME
Pressly extended his career-high with his 32nd save Saturday. He has converted 10 straight save opportunities since Aug. 9.
His 32 saves rank fourth in the AL this season.
UP NEXT

MILWAUKEE (AP)The Miami Marlins are shutting down ace right-hander Sandy Alcantara for the rest of the season.
Manager Don Mattingly announced the move Saturday before the Marlins played the Milwaukee Brewers. The decision was not Alcantara’s, according to Mattingly.
”Sandy was, obviously, he’s one of those guys that wants to keep going,” Mattingly said.
Alcantara (14-9) had a 2.28 ERA over 32 starts and leads the majors with 228 2/3 innings. He pitched his sixth complete game of the season Friday night. He allowed one run and five hits through eight innings in a 1-0 loss to the Brewers.
Alcantara struck out 207 and walked 50 batters. He also had a complete game June 29 when he beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3.
”It’s pretty incredible really what Sandy’s been able to do,” Mattingly said. ”There’s no reason to have him continue this year. We got to take care of Sandy first.”
Alcantara would have started Wednesday in the Marlins’ final game of the season against the Atlanta Braves.
”We got to do the best thing for Sandy, and we felt like this it,” Mattingly said.

Scientists find link between fast-melting Arctic ice and ocean acidification
An international team of researchers has found acidity levels increasing three to four times faster than ocean waters elsewhere and a strong correlation between the accelerated rate of melting ice in the region and the rate of ocean acidification. This threatens the Earth's climate and the survival of plants, shellfish, coral reefs and other marine life.

An international team of researchers has found acidity levels increasing three to four times faster than ocean waters elsewhere and a strong correlation between the accelerated rate of melting ice in the region and the rate of ocean acidification. This threatens the Earth's climate and the survival of plants, shellfish, coral reefs and other marine life. The team, which includes University of Delaware marine chemistry expert Wei-Jun Cai, also identified a strong correlation between the accelerated rate of melting ice in the region and the rate of ocean acidification, a perilous combination that threatens the survival of plants, shellfish, coral reefs and other marine life and biological processes throughout the planet's ecosystem.
The new study, published on Thursday, Sept. 30 in Science, the flagship journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, is the first analysis of Arctic acidification that includes data from more than two decades, spanning the period from 1994 to 2020. Scientists have predicted that by 2050 -- if not sooner -- Arctic sea ice in this region will no longer survive the increasingly warm summer seasons. As a result of this sea-ice retreat each summer, the ocean's chemistry will grow more acidic, with no persistent ice cover to slow or otherwise mitigate the advance.
That creates life-threatening problems for the enormously diverse population of sea creatures, plants and other living things that depend on a healthy ocean for survival. Crabs, for example, live in a crusty shell built from the calcium carbonate prevalent in ocean water. Polar bears rely on healthy fish populations for food, fish and sea birds rely on plankton and plants, and seafood is a key element of many humans' diets. That makes acidification of these distant waters a big deal for many of the planet's inhabitants.
First, a quick refresher course on pH levels, which indicate how acidic or alkaline a given liquid is. Any liquid that contains water can be characterized by its pH level, which ranges from 0 to 14, with pure water considered neutral with a pH of 7. All levels lower than 7 are acidic, all levels greater than 7 are basic or alkaline, with each full step representing a tenfold difference in the hydrogen ion concentration. Examples on the acidic side include battery acid, which checks in at 0 pH, gastric acid (1), black coffee (5) and milk (6.5). Tilting toward basic are blood (7.4), baking soda (9.5), ammonia (11) and drain cleaner (14). Seawater is normally alkaline, with a pH value of around 8.1. Cai, the Mary A.S. Lighthipe Professor in the School of Marine Science and Policy in UD's College of Earth, Ocean and Environment, has published significant research on the changing chemistry of the planet's oceans and this month completed a cruise from Nova Scotia to Florida, serving as chief scientist among 27 aboard the research vessel. The work, supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), includes four areas of study: The East Coast, the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific Coast and the Alaska/Arctic region.
The new study in Science included UD postdoctoral researcher Zhangxian Ouyang, who participated in a recent voyage to collect data in the Chukchi Sea and Canada Basin in the Arctic Ocean. The first author on the publication was Di Qi, who works with Chinese research institutes in Xiamen and Qingdao. Also collaborating on this publication were scientists from Seattle, Sweden, Russia and six other Chinese research sites.
"You can't just go by yourself," Cai said. "This international collaboration is very important for collecting long-term data over a large area in the remote ocean. In recent years, we have also collaborated with Japanese scientists as accessing the Arctic water was even harder in the past three years due to COVID-19. And we always have European scientists participating." Cai said he and Qi both were baffled when they first reviewed the Arctic data together during a conference in Shanghai. The acidity of the water was increasing three to four times faster than ocean waters elsewhere.
That was stunning indeed. But why was it happening? Cai soon identified a prime suspect: the increased melt of sea ice during the Arctic's summer season.
Historically, the Arctic's sea ice has melted in shallow marginal regions during the summer seasons. That started to change in the 1980s, Cai said, but waxed and waned periodically. In the past 15 years, the ice melt has accelerated, advancing into the deep basin in the north. For a while, scientists thought the melting ice could provide a promising "carbon sink," where carbon dioxide from the atmosphere would be sucked into the cold, carbon-hungry waters that had been hidden under the ice. That cold water would hold more carbon dioxide than warmer waters could and might help to offset the effects of increased carbon dioxide elsewhere in the atmosphere.
When Cai first studied the Arctic Ocean in 2008, he saw that the ice had melted beyond the Chukchi Sea in the northwest corner of the region, all the way to the Canada Basin -- far beyond its typical range. He and his collaborators found that the fresh meltwater did not mix into deeper waters, which would have diluted the carbon dioxide. Instead, the surface water soaked up the carbon dioxide until it reached about the same levels as in the atmosphere and then stopped collecting it. They reported this result in a paper in Science in 2010. That would also change the pH level of the Arctic waters, they knew, reducing the alkaline levels of the seawater and reducing its ability to resist acidification. But how much? And how soon? It took them another decade to collect enough data to derive a sound conclusion on the long-term acidification trend.
Analyzing data gathered from 1994 to 2020 -- the first time such a long-term perspective was possible -- Cai, Qi and their collaborators found an extraordinary increase in acidification and a strong correlation with the increasing rate of melting ice. They point to sea-ice melt as the key mechanism to explain this rapid pH decrease, because it changes the physics and chemistry of the surface water in three primary ways:
The water under the sea ice, which had a deficit of carbon dioxide, now is exposed to the atmospheric carbon dioxide and can take up carbon dioxide freely. The seawater mixed with meltwater is light and cannot mix easily into deeper waters, which means the carbon dioxide taken from the atmosphere is concentrated at the surface.
The meltwater dilutes the carbonate ion concentration in the seawater, weakening its ability to neutralize the carbon dioxide into bicarbonate and rapidly decreasing ocean pH. Cai said more research is required to further refine the above mechanism and better predict future changes, but the data so far show again the far-reaching ripple effects of climate change.
"If all of the multiple-year ice is replaced by first-year ice, then there will be lower alkalinity and lower buffer capacity and acidification continues," he said. "By 2050, we think all of the ice will be gone in the summer. Some papers predict that will happen by 2030. And if we follow the current trend for 20 more years, the summer acidification will be really, really strong." No one knows exactly what that will do to the creatures and plants and other living things that depend on healthy ocean waters.
"How will this affect the biology there?" Cai asked. "That is why this is important." (ANI)

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)Shohei Ohtani has agreed to a $30 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels for the 2023 season in the two-way superstar’s final year of arbitration eligibility before free agency.
The Angels announced the deal Saturday, avoiding a potentially complicated arbitration case with the 2021 AL MVP.
Ohtani’s deal is fully guaranteed, with no other provisions. The deal is the largest one-year contract ever given to an arbitration-eligible player, surpassing the $27 million given to Mookie Betts by the Boston Red Sox in January 2020, a month before he was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Ohtani’s $24.5 million raise from his 2022 salary is by far the largest for an arbitration-eligible player in major league history. He shattered the previous record of $9.6 million set by Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom of the New York Mets when his pay was bumped from $7.4 million to $17 million before the 2019 season.
Ohtani is having another incredible season at the plate and on the mound for the Angels, regularly accomplishing and surpassing feats that haven’t occurred in the major leagues since Babe Ruth’s heyday. He is a strong contender for the AL MVP award again alongside the Yankees’ Aaron Judge, who has tied the AL home run record and is closing in on the batting Triple Crown.
Ohtani is batting .276 with 34 homers, 94 RBIs and a .888 OPS. The designated hitter is fourth in the AL in homers and seventh in RBIs, and he is on a 15-game hitting streak heading into the Angels’ home game against Texas on Saturday night after racking up four multi-hit games in his last five outings.
Ohtani is even more impressive on the mound, going 15-8 with a 2.35 ERA and 213 strikeouts. Opponents are batting only .207 against the Angels ace, who got within four outs of a no-hitter against the Athletics in his most recent start Thursday.
The 28-year-old Ohtani is slated to make his final mound start of the season Wednesday in Oakland, and he needs to pitch just one inning to reach 162 for the season, which would allow him to qualify for the season-ending AL leaders in pitching statistics. He is currently fourth in the league in victories, third in strikeouts and fourth in ERA.
Ohtani still will be a free agent after the 2023 season, and his future could be tied to the immediate fortunes of the Angels, who will complete their seventh consecutive losing season next week. The Angels didn’t trade Ohtani at the deadline despite being out of the playoff race again, and Ohtani is wildly popular among the club’s fans.
Ohtani repeatedly has said winning will be an important factor in choosing his home beyond 2023, and Angels owner Arte Moreno is currently exploring a sale of the team.
Moreno’s leadership has been widely criticized during the Angels’ mostly miserable run of play since 2009, and a fresh start with deep-pocketed new owners could be the best chance to persuade Ohtani to stay with the franchise he joined in 2018 from Japan. Ohtani immediately won the AL Rookie of the Year award, and he rounded into unique form last season after recovering fully from Tommy John surgery.

- Country:
- United States
A team of scientists has developed a system that uses carbon dioxide, CO2, to produce biodegradable plastics, or bioplastics, that could replace the nondegradable plastics used today. The research addresses two challenges: the accumulation of nondegradable plastics and the remediation of greenhouse gas emissions. Published Sept. 28 in Chem, the research was a collaboration of Susie Dai, Ph.D., associate professor in the Texas A&M Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology, and Joshua Yuan, Ph.D., formerly with the Texas A&M Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology as chair for synthetic biology and renewable products and now Lopata professor and chair in the Washington University in St. Louis Department of Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering.
The research was made possible by the John '90 and Sally '92 Hood Fund for Sustainability and Renewable Products, Texas A&M AgriLife and Texas A&M University. Dai said today's petroleum-based plastics do not degrade easily and create a massive issue in the ecosystems and, ultimately, oceans.
To address these issues, the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences researchers and their teams worked for almost two years to develop an integrated system that uses CO2 as a feedstock for bacteria to grow in a nutrient solution and produce bioplastics. Peng Zhang, Ph.D., postdoctoral research associate, and Kainan Chen, doctoral student, both in the Texas A&M Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology, contributed to the work. The Texas A&M University System has filed a patent application for the integrated system. "Carbon dioxide has been used in concert with bacteria to produce many chemicals, including bioplastics, but this design produces a highly efficient, smooth flow through our carbon dioxide-to-bioplastics pipeline," Dai said.
"In theory, it is kind of like a train with units connected to each other," Dai said. "The first unit uses electricity to convert the carbon dioxide to ethanol and other two-carbon molecules -- a process called electrocatalysis. In the second unit, the bacteria consume the ethanol and carbon molecules to become a machine to produce bioplastics, which are different from petroleum-based plastic polymers that are harder to degrade." Using CO2 in the process could also help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Many manufacturing processes emit CO2 as a waste product.
"If we can capture the waste carbon dioxide, we reduce greenhouse gas emission and can use it as a feedstock to produce something," Dai said. "This new platform has great potential to address sustainability challenges and transform the future design of carbon dioxide reduction." The major strength of the new platform is a much faster reaction rate than photosynthesis and higher energy efficiency.
"We are expanding the capacity of this platform to broad product areas such as fuels, commodity chemicals and diverse materials," Dai said. "The study demonstrated the blueprint for 'decarbonized biomanufacturing' that could transform our manufacturing sector." Dai said currently, bioplastics are more expensive than petroleum-based plastics. But if the technology is successful enough to produce bioplastics at an economic scale, industries could replace traditional plastic products with ones that have fewer negative environmental impacts. In addition, mitigating CO2 emissions from energy sectors such as gas and electric facilities would also be a benefit.
"This innovation opens the door for new products if the bacterium is engineered to consume carbon dioxide-derived molecules and produce target products," Dai said. "One of the advantages of this design is the condition the bacteria grow in is mild and adaptable to industry-scale conditions." (ANI)

CLEVELAND (AP)Salvador Perez had four hits and drove in a pair of runs, Kris Bubic struck out a season-high eight and the Kansas City Royals beat the AL Central champion Cleveland Guardians 7-1 on Saturday night.
Perez collected three singles and a solo homer in four plate appearances, spoiling the return of Cleveland right-hander Zach Plesac (3-12) following a one-month stay on the injured list with a broken pitching hand.
The Guardians will host either Toronto, Seattle or Tampa Bay in a best-of-three wild-card series next weekend. Cleveland has won 10 of 12 and is an MLB-best 21-5 since Sept. 5.
”It was a hard night to evaluate Zach,” Guardians manager Terry Francona said. ”He wasn’t in midseason form, but it’s not fair to expect that to be the case. The good part was he feels like he can pitch without feeling like he’s rehabbing.”
Bubic (3-13) tossed five scoreless innings, allowing five hits, in snapping his career-long losing streak at seven. The left-hander had not won since July 24 against Tampa Bay, posting a 6.14 ERA over his previous 11 starts.
”They’re a pretty smart lineup and don’t strike out much, so it feels good to shut down a playoff team,” Bubic said. ”Finishing like this doesn’t dismiss the rest of the year, but it gives a look at what could be in the future.”
Drew Waters homered for the second straight day, Kyle Isbel had a two-run double and MJ Melendez doubled twice for Kansas City. Bobby Witt Jr. singled and stole his AL rookie-leading 29th base.
Plesac was activated to make his first start since punching the mound in anger on Aug. 27 in Seattle. He gave up four runs, one earned, in 3 2/3 innings and will work out of the bullpen going forward.
”I’m going to embrace whatever role is given to me in the postseason,” Plesac said. ”We’re going to do everything in our power to win and I’m going to do everything I can be to be as sharp as possible.”
Owen Miller doubled home Oscar Gonzalez in the sixth to pull Cleveland within 5-1, but Perez homered off Kirk McCarty in the seventh and Melendez scored on a fielder’s choice in the eighth for the Royals.
Perez’s home run gave him 1,274 career hits, moving into eighth place in Royals history. He was removed from the game following the at-bat because of discomfort in his surgically repaired left thumb.
”Salvy is special,” Kansas City manager Mike Matheny said. ”He’s one of the most unique players I’ve ever been around in my entire life. He actually got banged up on his third hit, but stayed in and hit the homer onto the porch.”
Catcher Bo Naylor became the 17th Guardians player to make his major-league debut this season, equaling the franchise record set in 1912 and tied in 1914. He went 0 for 2 and threw out Isbel on an attempted steal of second.
Naylor’s older brother, Josh, is Cleveland’s primary first baseman. The last siblings with the franchise were Roberto and Sandy Alomar Jr. in 2000.
”We wanted to let the kid get some nerves out of the way tonight,” Francona said.
COMING AND GOING
The Guardians selected the contract of Naylor from Triple-A Columbus, adding a third catcher to their roster. Naylor batted .263 with 21 homers, 68 RBIs and 20 stolen bases in 118 games, split between the Clippers and Double-A Akron.
RHP Bryan Shaw, who was 6-2 with a 5.40 ERA in 60 games, was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. A longtime Francona favorite, Shaw is Cleveland’s career leader with 517 relief appearances.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Guardians: 3B Gabriel Arias (right wrist bruise) was in the lineup and committed an error, one night after being hit by a Brady Singer pitch in the first inning. All-Star 3B Jose Ramirez was given the day off.
UP NEXT
Royals: RHP Max Castillo (0-1, 4.98 ERA), acquired from Toronto as part of an Aug. 2 trade for Whit Merrifield, makes his fourth start with Kansas City. The rookie is 0-1 with a 3.43 ERA in six road appearances.
Guardians: RHP Shane Bieber (12-8, 2.91 ERA) has an 8-2 record with a 2.05 ERA and 85 strikeouts over his last 12 outings. The 2020 AL Cy Young winner will start Cleveland’s first postseason game on Oct. 7.

Haiti confirms case of cholera, investigates suspected cases
Haiti on Sunday said it has confirmed one case of cholera and was studying several suspected cases, signaling the return of the disease that killed some 10,000 people in a 2010 outbreak that has been blamed on a United Nations peacekeeping force.

Haiti on Sunday said it has confirmed one case of cholera and was studying several suspected cases, signaling the return of the disease that killed some 10,000 people in a 2010 outbreak that has been blamed on a United Nations peacekeeping force. Haiti's Health Ministry said in a statement that one case had been confirmed in the Port-au-Prince area and that there were suspect cases in the town of Cite Soleil outside the capital.
The ministry urged citizens to take sanitary measures such as washing hands and consuming clean drinking water to avoid catching the disease. A new bout of cholera would be devastating for Haiti, where economic activity ground to a halt last month due to a gang blockade that has prevented fuel distribution, leading to shortages that have shuttered businesses and many hospitals.
The Pan American Health Organization in 2020 said Haiti had gone a year with no confirmed cases of cholera. Troops from Nepal, where cholera is endemic, were in Haiti as part of a U.N. peacekeeping force established in 2004 after the overthrow of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. The force size was increased after Haiti's 2010 earthquake.
The United Nations in 2016 apologized for the outbreak, without taking responsibility. An independent panel appointed by then-U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon issued a 2011 report that did not determine conclusively how cholera was introduced to Haiti.
The panel members in 2013 independently published an article that concluded personnel associated with the U.N. peacekeeping mission were "the most likely source."

ST. LOUIS (AP)Albert Pujols hit a two-run single and Corey Dickerson had a grand slam in a six-run first inning to help the NL Central champion St. Louis Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 13-3 on Saturday night.
Pujols singled to left with the bases loaded in the first inning driving in Brendan Donovan and Lars Nootbaar to give St. Louis a 2-0 lead. The 42-year-old Pujols, retiring after the season, hit his 701st homer a night earlier. He has 2,211 RBIs, three behind Babe Ruth for the second-most in major league history.
”It’s really hard to even really fathom because how long that would take for any individual to to do that,” Dickerson said. ”It’s amazing. I don’t think anybody can really comprehend it unless you played with him every single year and watched it. I don’t think you can really put it in words.”
Two batters later, Dickerson lined an 0-1 fastball 433 feet into the right-center field bleachers for his sixth home run of the season and his second career grand slam to increase the Cardinals’ lead to 6-0.
”To do that and this close to postseason just kind of gets your confidence going,” Dickerson said ”It just feels good to do it and know that you can help the team in a drastic way whenever the time may be.”
Jordan Montgomery (9-6) allowed two runs on four hits in six innings and struck out five batters after losing his previous three starts. Montgomery went 5-0 in his first eight starts since being acquired from the New York Yankees on Aug. 2.
”I left a lot of heaters up tonight,” Montgomery said. ”Curveball and changeup got me through the game, but I made fastball pitches when I needed to today.”
Luis Ortiz (0-2) allowed six runs on three hits and walked three batters in 2/3 of an inning in his fourth career start.
”This kid’s had a really good year at all levels from double-A to triple-A and here,” Pirates manager Derek Shelton said. ”He had a bad outing and had trouble finding his arm slot. This is one club in the National League that you have to throw the ball over the plate to, and we just didn’t do that today.”
Jason Delay hit a two-run single in the second inning to pull cut Pittsburgh’s deficit to 6-2.
Nolan Arenado stroked an RBI double, Alec Burleson added a two-run single, and Pujols scored when Yadier Molina grounded into a fielder’s choice in the bottom of the inning to expand the lead to 10-2.
SATURDAY SUCCESS
The Cardinals improved to a major league-best 21-7 (.750) and 11-3 at home on Saturdays this season. The 21 Saturday wins are the most in franchise history.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Pirates: Placed RHP Wil Crowe (right elbow inflammation) on the 15-day injured list and recalled RHP Junior Fernandez from triple-A Indianapolis. Fernandez went 0-0 with a 2.93 ERA in 13 games for St. Louis before he was claimed off waivers by the Pirates on Sept. 7 after being designated for assignment.
”It’s nothing that we’re concerned about,” Shelton said. ”It’s something that if we didn’t have five games left we’d probably be having a different conversation.”
Cardinals: RHP Jordan Hicks (right arm fatigue and neck spasms) threw a bullpen session before Friday night’s game and is scheduled to throw another on Sunday. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Hicks will be with the team in Pittsburgh for its final regular-season series that starts Monday.
UP NEXT:
RHP Adam Wainwright (11-11, 3.51 ERA) will make his major league record 328th career start with longtime batterymate Molina Sunday in what will likely be Molina and Pujols’ final career regular-season home game. Molina and Pujols both announced prior to the season that they intend to retire after the season. RHP Roansy Contreras (5-5, 3.72 ERA) will start for Pittsburgh.
