The 'Gunners' got a crazy ending at the Emirates in one of the last plays of the match, when in a corner, Rice, who cost more than 100 million, hit the ball with his soul, the ball touched Johnny Evans and He went to the net to knock down a United team that minutes before thought they had the game in hand, when only the VAR could prevent Garnacho's goal. Thus, Arsenal confirmed a superiority that had been palpable from the beginning and despite United taking the lead on the scoreboard, with a counterattacking play led by Christian Eriksen and finished brilliantly by Rashford with a shot at the far post; because the feeling of the 'Red Devils' in these matches is one of inferiority, of a small team.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared to freeze for about 30 seconds on Wednesday while speaking with reporters after a speech in Covington, Kentucky. The incident is similar to an episode McConnell experienced at the US Capitol late last month and is likely to raise additional questions about the fitness of the 81-year-old to lead the Senate Republican caucus.Wednesday’s episode occurred when a reporter asked the Republican leader if he was planning to run for reelection in 2026. McConnell had to ask him to repeat the question several times, chuckled for a moment, and then paused, closing his mouth and staring straight ahead. Someone at his side then asked him, “Did you hear the question, senator, running for reelection in 2026?” McConnell did not respond. “I’m sorry you all, we’re gonna need a minute,” the aide told reporters. A member of the senator’s detail spoke quietly to him for a moment, and McConnell was able to whisper an answer to him. McConnell turned back to reporters, said, “OK,” and his aide asked if anyone had another question, and if reporters could “speak up.” A spokesman for McConnell told CNN that the Kentucky Republican “felt momentarily lightheaded and paused during his press conference today.” A McConnell aide added: “While he feels fine, as a prudential measure, the leader will be consulting a physician prior to his next event.” He later attended a fundraiser for Rep. Jim Banks, who is running for a Senate seat in Indiana – a sign of how he carried on with his schedule as questions persisted Wednesday about his health. McConnell, the leader of the Senate Republican caucus since 2007, has faced questions about his health throughout the year. He was treated for a concussion and fractured rib after falling at a hotel in Washington in March, returning to the Senate several weeks later. In late July, McConnell froze for 30 seconds during a news conference on Capitol Hill. At the time, his office said the Kentucky Republican was “lightheaded” and Republicans later said that he was dehydrated. Speaking to reporters after the incident, McConnell insisted he was “fine.” McConnell and his top deputy, Senate Republican Whip John Thune, spoke Wednesday afternoon after the incident.“The leader sounded like his usual self and was in good spirits,” Thune spokesman Ryan Wrasse said. A source at Banks’ fundraiser told CNN that McConnell was in a “great mood” and didn’t address the freezing episode. The two discussed issues pertaining to Kentucky and Indiana, the source said. Banks in a social media post said that they had a “wide-ranging” discussion and included a picture of the two men talking. Another source said McConnell was “very dialed in” about Banks’ Senate race and was engaging in his discussion. President Joe Biden also told reporters Wednesday afternoon that he plans to try to “get in touch” with McConnell. “Mitch is a friend, as you know – not a joke, I know people don’t believe that’s the case. We have disagreements politically but he’s a good friend and so I’m going to try and get in touch with him later this afternoon. I don’t know enough to know,” Biden told reporters following remarks on the federal response to Hurricane Idalia and the wildfires in Maui.

Luffy (Iñaki Godoy, center) recruits the thief Nami (Emily Rudd) and swordsman Roronoa Zoro (Mackenyu Arata) for his pirate crew in "One Piece," Netflix's live-action adaptation of the popular Japanese manga series. Seeking a map to the mythical Grand Line, an oceanic path said to hold danger as well as potential riches, Luffy runs afoul of the Marines, an armed force led by volatile Vice Admiral Garp (Vincent Regan) that keeps the seas orderly with an iron hand.

Instead of smartphones there are snail phones, and the bad guys are like an endless parade of retro He-Man villains, including a bizarre clown pirate, a dastardly butler with long Freddy Krueger-style claws and a cocky warlord with an absurdly large blade. Netflix:Are password sharing rules angering fans? Yes, but subscriptions are still up The Marines' Vice-Admiral Garp (Vincent Regan) uses a snail as a loudspeaker in "One Piece." It’s a pretty wild show to take in, and there's some tonal whiplash with so many genres in the mix, from slapstick comedy to slasher horror. But "One Piece" doesn't go completely overboard with over-the-top action, and the storytelling is also mostly well-paced. Multiepisode adventures feature our heroes finding a ship and crashing a fine-dining establishment in the shape of a big-mouth bass, while picking up new crew members – including slingshot marksman Usopp (Jacob Romero) and charismatic cook Sanji (Taz Skylar) – and doling out backstories. But while there’s very much a Saturday morning cartoon vibe to “One Piece” (which also spawned an animated series in 1999), it’s also packed with sailor-ready language, violence and heady themes, so beware if the little bucs in the house beg to check it out.The mythology of “One Piece” will be new to American audiences, as will the fresh faces of the cast: Rudd had a supporting role in Netflix’s “Fear Street” trilogy, while Arata is the son of martial-arts movie icon Sonny Chiba. But Godoy is the heart of the show as the excitable Luffy, and the character gives “One Piece” an important, unshakable moral compass. Bad things happen, everyone kind of hates pirates – because they tend to be looting, scurrilous types – yet Luffy sticks up for his friends and those in need. “Who says pirates have to be scary?” he says in his many efforts to change hearts and minds. From enjoyable oddballs to epic battles, “One Piece” offers plenty of colorful booty to binge.

With no trade materializing Tuesday, Taylor remains on the physically unable to perform list, making him ineligible to play in at least the first four games of the season. Taylor will at least miss games against the Jacksonville Jaguars, at the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens and against the Los Angeles Rams. EDITOR'S PICKS Tracking NFL cuts: Who's out as teams trim down to 53-man rosters 7hNFL Nation Jonathan Taylor's fantasy value takes big hit while he remains on PUP list 11hTristan H. Cockcroft The Colts' next-best opportunity to deal Taylor could be before the NFL's Oct. 31 trade deadline. If there's no deal by then, the Colts could use the franchise tag on Taylor and try to trade him again next offseason. The Colts last week granted Taylor and his representatives permission to engage with other teams in an effort to find a trade partner, an atypical approach to shopping a player. The team issued a deadline of 4 p.m. Tuesday for a deal to come together, a timeline that lined up with the NFL's deadline requiring teams to trim rosters from 90 to 53 players. It also was a deadline for the Colts to make a determination on Taylor's roster status, as he had been relegated to the active/physically unable to perform list until now. Taylor has not practiced or played in the preseason, having been sidelined since undergoing ankle surgery. Taylor's standoff with Indianapolis harks back to the team's decision in May not to offer him a contract extension as he enters the final year of his rookie deal. Taylor led the NFL in rushing in 2021 with more than 1,800 yards before struggling with multiple setbacks with his ankle last season. After seeing teammates like Shaquille Leonard and Quenton Nelson receive extensions with a full season remaining on their rookie deals, Taylor expected he'd receive the same treatment. But when it became apparent the team was not interested in reconsidering its stance -- and as Taylor observed the financial landscape for elite running backs like Josh Jacobs and Saquon Barkley -- he began to dig in. General manager Chris Ballard was asked about Taylor's contract as training camp arrived. "We'll make those decisions when we need to make those decisions," he said. Later that day, Taylor quietly requested a trade. The Miami Dolphins had been among the teams most intrigued by Taylor, but the Colts' compensation requests -- they initially were seeking a first-round pick in exchange -- proved too rich for the rest of the league. The Colts' running-back unit in Taylor's absence consists of veterans Zack Moss and Deon Jackson and rookie Evan Hull. Moss, who is still recovering from a broken arm sustained in training camp, has never rushed for more than 481 yards in a single season. Jackson's career high, set last season, is 236 rushing yards. The Colts released veteran Kenyan Drake on Sunday among several other players at the positions. ESPN's Stephen Holder contributed to this report

Watch the game highlights between the Seattle Seahawks and the Green Bay Packers during Week 3 of the 2023 NFL preseason.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen won the Dutch Grand Prix, the 13th round of the 2023 Formula 1 World Championship, at Zandvoort.

A graduate student allegedly shot and killed a faculty member at UNC-Chapel Hill Monday afternoon, according to university officials and police, locking down the campus for several hours. The suspect, Tailei Qi, a graduate student in applied physical sciences, was taken into custody Monday afternoon. Formal charges are pending, police said at a press conference Monday evening. University officials and police did not identify the deceased faculty member as they worked to notify their family. Police have not pinpointed a motive, but Qi’s Twitter posts expressed frustration, stress and depression. This year and last, he made a series of vague posts about conflict with other students and his “PI” or principal investigator, usually a faculty member assigned by the university to work with students on research projects. It is not clear whether that PI is the faculty member who was killed.

Credit: Photo: Eros Hoagland/Getty Images A gunman killed a UNC-Chapel Hill faculty member in a laboratory building in the center of campus Monday, setting off a confusing and anxious three-hour lockdown at the university and nearby K-12 schools. The latest: Campus officials and police confirmed in a Monday evening press conference that a person was taken into custody, but they did not identify that person or the faculty member who died. All UNC classes and activities are canceled for Monday night and all day Tuesday. Zoom out: The shooting at Caudill Labs occurred on the first day of the university's second week of classes. It was also the first day for Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools. The initial 911 call reporting shots fired came in at 1:02pm, UNC Police Chief Brian James said, and lockdowns throughout the community soon followed. UNC didn't issue an all-clear until nearly 4:15pm. In between, students took to social media to post videos and pictures, police detained and released a person who wound up not being the suspected shooter, and parents and community members refreshed their phones for updates. Meanwhile, false social media posts and other uncorroborated reports only fueled fear and distractions, as Axios' Katie Peralta Soloff noted. Zoom in: UNC issued an initial alert saying an "armed and dangerous person" on or near campus at 1:03pm, one minute after the 911 call. Alerts asking students to shelter in place and stay away from windows began at 1:21pm. James, the campus police chief, said police detained the suspected shooter at 2:31pm, nearly 90 minutes after the initial 911 call. Four minutes later they posted a photo of a person of interest on social media. But the shelter-in-place remained in effect — and UNC alerts continued to say the suspect was at large — until after 4pm. James said the delay was because police needed time to identify the shooter. They had detained another person and released him in the meantime, James said. Chapel Hill-Carrboro Public Schools system posted that it had received the "all clear" to dismiss at 3:40pm. Between the lines: Police and university officials didn't confirm that a shooting took place until the 5:45pm press conference. The only official acknowledgement of a shooting during the afternoon hours came from Gov. Roy Cooper, whose office confirmed to Axios that a shooting occurred after issuing a statement pledging all state resources "to capture the shooter." The big picture: The alerts sent the campus and surrounding areas into a state of uncertainty. A large police presence centered on several lab buildings on South Road near the school's bell tower, one of the most photographed landmarks in the state. And for many, the events brought back horrifying memories of Feb. 10, 2015, when three Muslim students — two UNC dentistry students and one N.C. State student — were killed in an off-campus house. What they're saying: "This is a time for the community to come together," UNC Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz said in the evening press conference. "These tragic events are sadly happening across the nation."

The 49ers will receive a 2024 fourth-round pick in exchange for Lance, per NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero. The Niners, who traded three first-round picks to Miami to move up to select Lance No. 3 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, announced earlier in the week that Lance would be the team's No. 3 quarterback on the depth chart behind Brock Purdy and Sam Darnold after the latter won the competition for the backup role. "Really hard day, such a wonderful young man," 49ers general manager John Lynch said Friday night during the broadcast of San Francisco's preseason game. "We took a shot and it didn't work out. We own that. We take accountability for it. But I think, as I think you guys do, his story is still very much unwritten. I'm excited for Trey. Dallas stepped up and really wanted him and they came after him. And I think it's going to be a great landing spot for him. I can tell everybody, it wasn't for lack of effort on Trey's part or on our part, that it didn't work. Circumstances took hold and he struggled through injuries and this team's ready to win. We like our quarterback room. We like Brock Purdy a lot, we like Sam Darnold and we like Brandon Allen. So we wish Trey all the best in Dallas. We'll always care about that young man and admire his work ethic and the person that he is." Head coach Kyle Shanahan said after the announcement that he still believed the young QB could find success "with us or someone else ever in the future." Having played just eight games in two years for the 49ers, Lance competed in the fewest games by a top-five pick for the team he debuted with since the start of the common draft era 1967, per NFL Research. Now, Lance will have a fresh start in Dallas. San Francisco will only recoup a fraction of the value it sent to Miami by dealing the player who was expected to be the future of the franchise to Dallas. Lance's opportunities to start for the Niners were limited, with injuries partially to blame. He broke his finger and sprained his knee in his first campaign, and then broke his ankle just two games into the 2022 season, taking him out for the year and continuing a chain of events that opened the door for current starter Purdy to take over. Overall Lance, who was originally slated to play in the Niners' preseason finale versus the Los Angeles Chargers, is 2-2 as a starter, finishing his tenure in the Bay Area with 797 passing yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions. With a new destination solidified, the question now is how Lance will fit into the Cowboys' existing depth chart. Dak Prescott is still the starter in Dallas, and behind him sit backup Cooper Rush and Will Grier. Lance is expected to be the team's third-string signal-caller, per Rapoport, with the opportunity to develop into more. Still only 23 years old, Lance has a new team that's taking a low-price chance he could develop into something special, as was initially predicted of him

Republican debate: Who were the winners and losers? US election 2024 Ron DeSantis (left) and Vivek Ramaswamy (right) The first Republican presidential debate was a rowdy affair that saw the eight candidates leap headlong into heated exchanges. There were some who thought it would be boring without Donald Trump - the ultimate showman - but that was decidedly not the case. The former president may have been the life of the party during primary debates back in 2016, but the eight rivals who travelled to Wisconsin proved they could bring some excitement without his help. Some candidates stood out from the pack, however - and some seemed to languish on the side-lines. Here's a rundown of the winners and losers. WINNERS Vivek Ramaswamy: The man who never ran for public office - and didn't even vote for a president from 2004 to 2020 - simply dominated this Republican debate.

Trump, Pence’s former running mate, is currently facing dozens of charges across four indictments. In one case, a federal indictment against Trump related to his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, Pence could end up serving as a key witness against the former president. “If I am president of the United States, we’ll give fair consideration to any pardon requests,” Pence said onstage Wednesday night. Candidates say they would support Trump — even if he’s convicted Asked if they would support Trump as the party’s nominee even if he was convicted of a crime, 6 of 8 candidates raised their hands — with varying degrees of enthusiasm — with only Christie and Hutchinson indicating they would not support the former president again. Christie, shaking his fist slightly, spoke up first after the question, side-stepping the issue of prosecutors that many Republicans have criticized as politicized, but calling attention to Trump’s underlying behavior. “Someone has to stop normalizing this conduct,” the former New Jersey governor said, though his comments were met with displeasure by some in the audience as well as on the stage. “Booing is allowed, but it does not change the truth,” Christie added. Attacks on Ramaswamy dominated the first hour Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis may have had the No. 1 spot on the debate stage. But it’s the man in the No. 2 spot, Vivek Ramaswamy, who’s taken the most incoming over the first hour of the two-hour melee in Milwaukee. Mike Pence and Chris Christie piled on Ramaswamy, who entered the debate as a star on the rise while DeSantis has been sliding in polls. They’ve attacked him on his age and his political inexperience — Pence called Ramaswamy a “rookie,” Christie derided him as an “amateur” — as they look to stop his climb. Pence to Ramaswamy: ‘We don’t need to bring in a rookie’ SharePlay Video And the former federal prosecutor took Ramaswamy, who’s repeatedly pledged to pardon Trump if elected president, to task for defending the former president against the multiple criminal investigations he’s facing. “You’ve never done anything to try to advance the interests of this government except to put yourself forward as a candidate tonight,” Christie said. “I did it as U.S. attorney, I did it as governor. And I am not going to bow to anyone.” It all made DeSantis somewhat of an afterthought over the first hour, limiting his screen time and his speaking time. Pence’s rivals defended him on Jan. 6: ‘Mike did his duty’ GOP presidential candidates were faced with a key question Wednesday night: Did Pence do the right thing on Jan. 6? “Absolutely,” Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) said, who was the first candidate to answer the question. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum agreed with Scott, though Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis danced around the question. “It’s not about Jan. 6, 2021, it’s about Jan. 20, 2025, when the president is going to take office,” DeSantis said. DeSantis later clarified and said “Mike did his duty. I got no beef with him.” Pence has defended his actions on Jan. 6 and has said former President Donald Trump “had no right to overturn the election” on Jan. 6. Pence refused former President Donald Trump’s pressure to overturn President Joe Biden’s 2020 victory when presiding over the certification of the election results. “I made it clear and hoped that the issues surrounding the 2020 election and the controversies around Jan. 6 would not come to this, come to criminal proceedings,” Pence said. “The American people deserve to know that the president asked me in his request that I reject or return votes. He asked me to put him over the Constitution and I chose the Constitution.” Candidates clash over a national abortion ban DeSantis touted signing a six-week abortion ban in Florida — which has yet to take effect, pending a court review — but dodged a direct question on whether he would sign a similar federal ban into law, saying only that he would. “I will stand on the side of life,” he responded. “I understand Wisconsin will do it different than Texas. I understand Iowa and New Hampshire will do it different. But I will support the cause of life as governor and as president.” Haley also ducked a direct answer on the question, as she has in the past, arguing that a national ban isn’t likely to garner the needed 60 Senate votes to pass. Instead, she called for narrower legislation. “Can’t we all agree that we should ban late-term abortions? Can’t we all agree that we should encourage adoptions? Can’t we all agree that doctors and nurses who don’t believe in abortions shouldn’t have to perform them? Can’t we agree that contraception should be available? Can’t we all agree that we are not going to put a woman in jail or give her the death penalty if she gets an abortion?” Former Governor from South Carolina and UN ambassador Nikki Haley is seen on large screens as she speaks during the first Republican Presidential primary debate.

Pence and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) voiced support for a national ban, arguing that failing to do so would allow blue states to continue providing abortions. “We can’t leave it to Illinois. We can’t leave it to Minnesota,” Scott said. 📣 Want more POLITICO? Download our mobile app to save stories, get notifications and more. In iOS or Android. Pence also hit Haley for her answer, calling it “the opposite of leadership.” Burgum, who signed a 6-week ban in North Dakota, was the sole candidate to come out swinging against a federal ban, saying it would violate the principles of federalism in the Constitution. It’s notable, as the candidates struggle with how far right they want to go on abortion, that the field in general is to the right of voters in New Hampshire, the first primary state, on the issue. Six in 10 New Hampshire voters opposed overturning Roe v. Wade. More than 70 percent identify as “pro-choice.” The state allows abortions up to 24 weeks of pregnancy, with some exceptions afterward. Candidates tend to downplay or not mention their abortion stances when campaigning in the state. DeSantis, for instance, doesn’t talk about the six-week ban he said in the debate he was “proud” to sign. Haley touts the effectiveness of being a woman Nikki Haley was the only woman on the Milwaukee debate stage Wednesday night. And, within the first half hour of the program, the former South Carolina governor and U.N. ambassador made sure people knew that — stepping into a spat between former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and biotechnology entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy on climate change. Haley offered up a riff on a Margaret Thatcher quote, “This is exactly why Margaret Thatcher said, ‘If you want something done, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.’” Minutes later, Haley fired back at former Vice President Mike Pence for touting that he would sign a 15-week abortion ban into law at the federal level — pointing out that there aren’t enough votes in the Senate to pass such a measure. “No Republican president can ban abortions any more than a Democrat president can ban all those state laws,” Haley said. “Don’t make women feel like they have to decide on this issue when you know we don’t have 60 Senate votes.” Haley has been eager to distinguish herself as the only prominent female candidate in a field full of men. GOP voters, however, haven’t been quick to embrace Haley just because of her gender. ‘Climate change is a hoax’ GOP candidates during the first Republican debate argued over climate change, with Vivek Ramaswamy calling it a hoax. “I’m the only candidate on stage who isn’t bought and paid for, so I can say this,” Ramaswamy said, though he caught some shade. “Climate change is a hoax…The reality is more people are dying of bad climate change policies than they are of actual climate change.” Ramaswamy’s remarks were booed by the crowd and slammed by former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who compared the entrepreneur to ChatGPT and former President Barack Obama.

Raise your hand if you do.” Before anyone could make a move, Ron DeSantis took the floor. “We are not schoolchildren. Let’s have the debate,” DeSantis said, before launching into a response bashing Biden and the media. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, meanwhile, called for China and India to cut emissions. “First of all, we do care about clean air, clean water. We want to see that taken care of, but there is a right way to do it. The right way is first of all, yes, is climate change real? Yes, it is. But if you want to go and really change the environment, we need to start telling China and India that they have to lower their emissions.” Candidates clash over the war in Ukraine The GOP divide on Ukraine was on full display during the debate, with Vivek Ramaswamy and Ron DeSantis saying they would cut off funding to Kyiv while others defended U.S. aid to the embattled nation. “I find it offensive that we have professional politicians who will make a pilgrimage to Kyiv, to their pope, Zelenskyy, without doing the same for the people in Maui or the south side of Chicago,” he said, referring to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine. DeSantis was more hedging, saying that he would stop aid to Ukraine unless European governments stepped up to “pull their weight.” Those calls to stop Ukraine funding earned applause in the room, but were not shared by all candidates. Nikki Haley accused Ramaswamy of wanting to “hand Ukraine to Russia” and “let China eat Taiwan.” “You are choosing a murderer” over an ally of the U.S., Haley said, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin. “I wish you success on your future career on the boards of Lockheed and Raytheon,” Ramaswamy retorted, naming two large U.S. weapons manufacturers. “You have no foreign policy experience and it shows,” Haley shot back, earning raucous applause in the arena. Haley goes after her competitors on spending Former South Carolina governor and U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley laid into four of her opponents for raising the national debt during the opening moments of the first GOP presidential debate in Milwaukee on Wednesday. Haley took aim at former President Donald Trump for adding $8 trillion to the national debt, while also taking shots at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and former Vice President Mike Pence for voting to raise the debt ceiling during their time in Congress. Republicans, she said, are responsible for the nation’s ailing economy, not President Joe Biden. “No one is telling the American people the truth. The truth is that Biden didn’t do this to us, our Republicans did this to us too,” Haley said. Haley pointed to $7.4 billion in earmarks requested by Republicans in the 2024 budget compared to the $2.8 billion asked for by Democrats. “So you tell me who are the big spenders,” she said. “I think it’s time for an accountant in the White House. Haley additionally criticized the passage of the $2.2 trillion Covid-19 stimulus bill, as well as congressional action that required states to keep more than 90 million people continuously enrolled in Medicaid during the pandemic.

The first episode of “Ahsoka,” the new “Star Wars” mini-series on Disney+, is titled “Master and Apprentice,” because of course it is. Obi-Wan and Luke, Yoda and Luke, Obi-Wan and Anakin, Anakin and Ahsoka, the Mandalorian and the floating baby. “Star Wars” has one story and it’s sticking to it. “Ahsoka,” two of whose eight episodes were available for review (they premiere on Tuesday night), is particularly true to the time-tested narrative of fractious mentorship and surrogate parenthood. It pits against each other two master-apprentice pairs, the lapsed Jedi Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) and her young Mandalorian protégé, Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo), on the side of good and the former Jedi Baylan Skoll (Ray Stevenson) and his grim sidekick, Shin Hati (Ivanna Sakhno), on the side of not good. These four jump through space, clown around with droids (cute when they’re on the side of good, clanky and forbidding when they’re not), duke it out with lightsabers and summon the force with varying degrees of effectiveness while they search for Thrawn, an officer of the evil Empire. If found, he could be a danger to the nascent New Republic, which is in power after the events of the original “Star Wars” trilogy but not yet facing the existential threats it encounters in the most recent movies.
