Former President Donald Trump is projected to win the presidential race by ABC News, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in a frenzied contest to stage an improbable historic comeback. Trump ended up with at least 279 electoral votes after clinching wins in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Georgia and Wisconsin. Harris has won at least 219 votes. The race was marked by literal history, including two assassination attempts and 34 felony convictions against Trump, already having been impeached twice and faulted for mismanaging the COVID-19 pandemic response. Maybe even more memorable was President Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the race after a…

The 17-year-old midfielder curled in a superb first-half effort after Gabriel Jesus’ first goal since January had set Arsenal on their way. Substitute Kai Havertz rounded off the scoring after the break for the Gunners, who will face Crystal Palace at home in the quarter-finals in the week commencing 16 December. Academy product Nwaneri, who registered his first senior goals in the 5-1 win over Bolton in the previous round of the competition, also hit the crossbar on Wednesday and was serenaded by the visiting fans after being substituted late on. “He’s a big talent, he’s got the right attitude and he’s…

A topsy-turvy game was turned upside down at its halfway point as the Dodgers exploited Yankees fielding errors in the top of the fifth inning to level the scores. “We just took advantage of every mistake they made in that inning and scored five runs,” left fielder Teoscar Hernandez said. “The bullpen and the pitching staff gave us the chance to stay in the game. It’s a dream come true.” It is a second title in five years for the National League champions, who had previously won in the Covid-shortened 2020 season. Facing elimination, the Yankees came out swinging in…

Argentina’s president, Javier Milei, has sacked his foreign minister, Diana Mondino, after the country voted in favour of lifting the US economic embargo on Cuba at the United Nations. Argentina was one of 187 countries that supported the non-binding UN resolution on Wednesday. Only the US and Israel voted to oppose the resolution. It was the first time since Milei’s arrival in office that Argentina has not aligned itself with the US and Israeli governments. Mondino has been replaced by the ambassador to Washington, Gerardo Werthein. Following the move, President Milei’s office said Argentina was “categorically opposed to the Cuban…

Civil rights leaders believe that a decision handed down by the Supreme Court on Wednesday could lay the framework for post-election challenges. The high court’s conservative majority ruled to block an order from a federal judge that would have reinstated some 1,600 individuals to Virginia’s registered voter count. Those individuals were removed in accordance with an executive order by Gov. Glenn Youngkin that required the daily purge of self-identified noncitizens from the state’s voter rolls. The Aug. 7 executive order brought lawsuits from immigration and civil rights groups, as well as the Justice Department, all of which alleged that it violated…

England captain Ben Stokes is a doubt for the first Test against Pakistan in Multan as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury. Stokes, 33, has been out since the beginning of August, missing the 2-1 series victory over Sri Lanka. England trained in Multan for the first time on Friday. All-rounder Stokes batted in the nets and bowled a handful of deliveries off a few paces. He indicated last week he is unlikely to bowl at the beginning of this three-match series, which gets under way on Monday. Opener Zak Crawley told BBC Sport: “He seems to be…

Belgium captain Kevin de Bruyne has asked for time off from the national team as the Manchester City playmaker looks to manage his playing time. The 33-year-old has missed City’s past four fixtures after sustaining a thigh injury in September’s 0-0 draw against Inter Milan in the Champions League. De Bruyne, who is on course to return to action in mid-October, was set to be left out of Belgium’s Nations League squad for matches against Italy and France later this month through injury. But Belgium boss Domenico Tedesco says De Bruyne has requested to miss November’s matches against Italy and Israel in…

The Indian government has opposed petitions in the top court that seek criminalisation of marital rape, saying it would be “excessively harsh”. The federal home ministry told the Supreme Court that “a man does not have a fundamental right” to force sex on his wife, but there were enough laws to protect married women against sexual violence. The top court is hearing petitions seeking to amend a British-era law that says a man cannot be prosecuted for rape within marriage. Violence within marriage is rampant in India – according to a recent government survey, one in 25 women have faced…

A long-running legal battle between ex-Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder Lassana Diarra and Fifa has ended with the European Court of Justice finding in favour of the former player. Diarra’s legal team challenged some of Fifa’s rules after the termination of his contract with Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow in 2014. They argued some of the rules imposed by football’s global governing body restricted his freedom of movement and breached competition law, and sued Fifa for damages. The court’s judgement says that, by refusing to provide Diarra with an international transfer certificate (ITC) for a proposed move to Belgian club Charleroi in…

Former President Barack Obama will hit the campaign trail for Vice President Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz starting next Thursday, Oct. 10, through election day, according to a senior campaign official. The first stop will be in Pennsylvania in the Pittsburgh area before Obama embarks on a campaign blitz across the battleground states in the final 27 days. Obama held a Los Angeles fundraiser for Harris in September and — along with former First Lady Michelle Obama — gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention in August. Meanwhile, Harris recently enlisted the help of former Republican Rep. Liz…
