Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had a romantic relationship with a woman U.S. intelligence concluded was recruited by China's top intelligence agency, according to reports. Alice Huang was a top executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data center company previously suspected of helping divert Nvidia chips to China. Surveillance revealed communications between the two, though what information may have been passed to Beijing and its value remain unclear.

The revelation comes as Huang has played a central role in shaping U.S. export controls on advanced chips to China and maintains close ties to President Donald Trump. Nvidia's board announced a probe but expressed confidence in Huang's leadership. Huang apologized in a statement, saying he was unfaithful to his wife and deeply sorry for hurting his family.

Nvidia's board announced an independent investigation after CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, who U.S. officials believe was recruited by Chinese intelligence to influence him on chip export policy.

Nvidia's board of directors announced Sunday that it is launching an independent investigation following reports that CEO Jensen Huang was targeted by a Chinese spy operation, after Huang admitted in a company message that he had an affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based chip company Megaspeed. The board action and personal admission follow congressional scrutiny that began last week, when House Republican committee chairs requested a briefing from Huang by November 11 and Sen.

House Republican leaders expect enough GOP defections to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth when Representative Thomas Massie forces a vote this week on his resolution accusing

The political calculus shifted after Republicans suffered major losses in Tuesday's midterm elections, with defeated and retiring members now more willing to back impeachment against a defense secretary whose support has eroded since the Iran war began. Speaker Mike Johnson had canceled votes and sent lawmakers home early before Election Day to avoid the politically difficult impeachment measure.

President Donald Trump announced Friday that he is replacing Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff with longtime adviser Stephen Miller, following Republican losses in Tuesday'

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is positioning himself for a 2028 presidential campaign while Secretary of State Marco Rubio has dismissed reports he is considering a White House bid

The maneuvering by both Florida Republicans underscores volatility in the early stages of the 2028 primary, where Vice President Vance had been viewed as a likely frontrunner before Tuesday's election results. DeSantis, whose term as governor ends in January, has fueled speculation through a postelection media campaign that included appearances on podcasts and CNN.

The Secret Service arrested a man Thursday night near the White House after officers found him in a parked vehicle with multiple guns and ammunition and he told them he heard voice

Officers approached Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos after observing him acting suspiciously in a parked car, according to a Department of Homeland Security statement. Chrinos described hearing voices instructing him to come to Washington and kill the president, the statement said.

Nvidia's board of directors announced Sunday that it is opening an independent investigation following reports that CEO Jensen Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence effort, and hours later President Donald Trump publicly defended Huang, calling him an honorable guy who has done an amazing job for the country.

Trump said he would support bringing Huang on his upcoming trip through Asia and when asked by reporters if he wished he had acted on intelligence about Alice Huang, the president said no. The investigation comes after The New York Times and Financial Times reported that Huang had a relationship with Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman the newspapers said had been recruited to spy for China.

South African police arrested nine foreign nationals at Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport and a nearby hotel as they allegedly prepared to board flights to fight in the Russia-Ukraine war. The group, aged 20 to 26, was detained by a team that included Interpol. Authorities said none of the suspects reside in South Africa but declined to disclose their nationalities or which side they intended to join.

The arrests reflect a broader pattern of recruitment across Africa. A Ukrainian intelligence assessment estimated that more than 1,700 people from 36 African countries have been recruited to fight for Russia, with many allegedly deceived about their destinations. Kenya, Ghana, and South Africa have previously reported citizens killed or recruited into the conflict.

Meta is expanding the artificial intelligence technology it uses to identify teenagers on Instagram who have not correctly disclosed their age to users worldwide. The rollout, announced Sunday, will automatically place millions more teens into Instagram Teen Account protections after launching in the United States, European Union, and Brazil last year. The expansion follows a $17.1 billion lawsuit settlement in August in which Meta agreed to strengthen its age assurance practices and impose stricter restrictions on teen users.

The age detection tools search for signals indicating whether Instagram users are under 18 years old, including the profiles and content they interact with, birthday messages they receive, and visual cues from uploaded photos and videos such as height and bone structure. Meta said it has also started using Apple's age-range signal as an additional detection method in Australia.

The age assurance system removes Instagram users believed to be under 13, the minimum age required for Meta social accounts, and automatically places users between 13 and 17 under more restrictive Teen Accounts, even when they signed up using a fake adult birthday. Teen Accounts are private by default, limit what content teens can see, and prevent strangers from sending direct messages. Parents and guardians can supervise Teen Accounts to set time limits and monitor usage, and users 16 or younger cannot adjust Teen Account settings without parental permission.

Meta said parents in the United States will start receiving a notification on Instagram next month explaining the age estimation process and how to ensure their teen's age is accurately reflected on the platform. Meta has not announced whether automatic age assurance checks on Facebook, which rolled out to U.S. accounts in May, will expand to other regions.

Tesla said it will launch its robotaxi service in San Antonio starting at 5 a.m., marking its fourth Texas city for autonomous ride-hailing operations. The company did not disclose details about hours of operation, vehicle types, or whether safety monitors will be aboard.

Tesla now operates robotaxis in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Miami, and Orlando, though fleets outside Austin remain small. Its rival Waymo, a subsidiary of Alphabet, also runs autonomous ride-hailing in San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, and Houston using driverless Jaguar I-Pace and Zeekr vehicles.

Elon Musk's business empire faces investigations from congressional Democrats following his emergence as the largest individual donor in the midterm elections, spending at least $475 million on candidates who largely lost. Armed with subpoena power, Democrats are preparing to examine Musk's Department of Government Efficiency operation, its access to sensitive government data, and whether his companies benefited from his influence over the Trump administration.

More than 99 percent of Musk's traceable spending went to losing candidates, according to WIRED. His most significant defeat came in Texas, where a $160 million investment in Ken Paxton ended with a Democratic sweep of the Senate seat, governorship, and attorney general's office. Musk responded to conciliatory remarks from Senator-elect James Talarico, who praised him as a great business leader despite Musk previously claiming Talarico hates Texas.

The congressional scrutiny extends to national security questions, with lawmakers demanding answers about Musk's reported communications with Vladimir Putin and his role in an October slowdown of Starshield that disrupted Ukraine's drone operations. Musk has downplayed his dependence on government contracts, claiming they will account for less than five percent of SpaceX revenue within a year and posting that he is happy to cancel any the government does not want.

In Texas, where Musk relocated the headquarters of Tesla, SpaceX, and X, the Democratic takeover threatens regulatory challenges. Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa is suing to uncover 1,374 pages of largely redacted communications with outgoing Governor Greg Abbott, while incoming Attorney General Nathan Johnson pledged to scrutinize state broadband grants awarded to Starlink. Tesla and SpaceX lost roughly $460 billion in combined market value in the two days after the election before rebounding as investors reassessed risks to Musk's companies.

Democrats are attempting to court voters aligned with the Make America Healthy Again movement on food safety and pesticide issues, but the effort faces resistance from MAHA leaders who view attacks on Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a dealbreaker. Lawmakers including Senator Cory Booker have expressed willingness to work with Kennedy on school lunches and pesticide bans, but Democrats have ruled out embracing Kennedy's vaccine safety claims.

MAHA leaders, whose endorsed candidates mostly lost in last week's midterm elections, said they remain loyal to Kennedy and warned that Democrats targeting him for oversight will not win their support. The movement's platform on food and environmental issues retains cross-party appeal even as its political influence remains limited.

Open-weight AI models have advanced to the point where they can automatically identify software vulnerabilities, write exploits, and break into targets simultaneously, collapsing what was traditionally a multi-step process requiring teams of skilled hackers. Stamos described a wave of breaches in recent weeks affecting major technology companies, including a chain of attacks that began with a compromise of Fireworks, an AI services provider.

Researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany have solved a years-long mystery that has troubled grid managers worldwide: unexplained frequency drops occurring every 60 second

The culprit is battery backup systems, including those in data centers, that check their charge status at precisely the same time every minute due to internet-synchronized clocks. Director Dirk Witthaut led the investigation after Germany's largest transmission system operator, Tennet Germany, brought the puzzle to his team.

Major restaurant chains are prioritizing food quality improvements to reverse declining customer traffic. Wendy's unveiled a five-part turnaround strategy Thursday that includes testing thicker bacon, creamier Frosty desserts and improved salads, the same day it reported a seventh consecutive quarter of same-store sales declines and rejected a $1.4 billion takeover bid from Nelson Peltz's Trian Partners.

Burger King overhauled its Whopper and chicken nuggets this year, contributing to 8.4 percent U.S. same-store sales growth in the third quarter. Chipotle returned its brisket to menus, while Chili's plans improvements to steaks and salads after three years of sales gains. Industry executives say better-tasting food, not just discounts, is essential for long-term growth.

Asian stock markets climbed on Monday following a sharp rebound on Wall Street, recovering from a sell-off last week that wiped $2.5 trillion in value from U.S. markets after Democrats won sweeping control in midterm elections. Taipei's Taiex rose 4.94 percent and Tokyo's Nikkei 225 gained 2.33 percent, while Sydney's S&P/ASX 200 edged up 0.099 percent. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index dipped 0.22 percent, and Seoul's KOSPI fell 0.8 percent after rising earlier in the session.

The Thursday sell-off was driven by investor concern that Democratic-controlled legislatures could slow the rollout of data centers used to power artificial intelligence. The rout spilled into Asian markets on Friday, with the Nikkei 225 and KOSPI plunging about 6 percent and 9 percent respectively, and the Hang Seng Index dropping more than 1 percent.

Nvidia announced that its board of directors would launch an independent inquiry into Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang over a romantic relationship he had with a woman accused of being a Chinese spy. The board said it had confidence in Huang and no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised, but that the inquiry would examine all available information. Huang supported the inquiry and pledged full cooperation. The company said the board prioritizes U.S. national and economic security as paramount to the interests of Nvidia and its shareholders.

Cameron Chui, Asia equity strategist at JP Morgan Private Bank in Hong Kong, attributed the recent decline in AI infrastructure stocks to tighter financial conditions, growing scrutiny over credit availability for neocloud companies, and uncertainty over potential delays to AI buildout following the midterm election results. Chui said AI demand and adoption remain strong, 2027 capital expenditure visibility remains high, and valuations have reset to partly account for investor concerns.

Prosecutors have formally charged former President Santiago Peña with breach of trust and administration for personal gain, following his impeachment and arrest over the Ueno Bank collapse that left three million Paraguayans unable to access their savings.

Peña was impeached and placed under house arrest Friday after lawmakers unanimously voted to remove him from office over the digital bank's demise, which has left more than half of Paraguay's population—an estimated three million depositors—unable to access their savings and pensions. Vice President Pedro Alliana was sworn in as interim president and will serve until 2028.

A sentencing hearing for Russell Brand is underway at Southwark Crown Court in London, where prosecutors are seeking a 10 to 15 year prison term for rape and sexual assault convictions. Prosecutor Riel Karmy-Jones KC called for a serious category one sentence, arguing Brand abused his position and degraded and humiliated his victims.

Karmy-Jones told the judge that Brand held the view he could abuse without impunity and must bear responsibility for the culture around him that enabled his offending for years. She read victim impact statements from three women, all describing debilitating impacts on their relationships, careers, self-worth, and daily lives. One woman delivered her statement in person, saying she had carried an undeserved feeling of shame for 20 years. All victims said they still carried the trauma and described the stressful experience of going to court.

Brand's defense lawyer, Ian Winter KC, argued Brand is a fundamentally changed man and that the crimes, which occurred 17 years ago, were isolated incidents. Winter described the rape as a short and momentary failure of consent and said any major sentence would have a catastrophic impact on Brand's young family, urging the judge to show mercy. Winter pointed to Brand's rehabilitation and religious care efforts in recent years, calling him a fundamentally different person today.

Judge Joel Bennathan adjourned the court to consider his sentencing decision and said he will return at 2 p.m. to deliver his remarks, which will be televised. For the other sexual assault offenses, the prosecution has asked for custodial sentences of one to four years for each count. Brand's wife, father, and security guard are in the public gallery.

House Democrats plan to relocate a memorial plaque honoring law enforcement officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, from its current basement location to a more prominent spot when they retake the majority in January. Representative Joe Morelle of New York, the top Democrat on the House Administration Committee, confirmed the planned move.

Congress passed legislation in 2022 authorizing the plaque to honor Capitol Police, D.C. Metropolitan Police, and others who protected the building. After Republicans took control of Congress, Speaker Mike Johnson said the authorization was not implementable. The plaque was eventually mounted in March 2026 in a basement hallway on the Senate side of the Capitol.

Blades Brown became the youngest winner on the PGA Tour in 95 years after defeating Ben James in a playoff at the World Wide Technology Championship in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Brown, at 19 years and 171 days old, beat his fellow American on the second playoff hole after shooting a nine-under-par 63 in the final round, which included a birdie on the 18th hole to complete a comeback from seven shots behind.

Brown is the youngest PGA Tour winner since 18-year-old Charles Kocsis won the 1931 Michigan Open, which was considered a regional event in the early years of the tour. He is the first teenage winner on the tour since Jordan Spieth won the John Deere Classic in 2013 at 19 years and 352 days old.

Brown and James finished at 23 under par for the tournament. Michael Kim finished third at 22 under, with Kensei Hirata of Japan one shot further back at 21 under.

Brown turned professional at 17 and earned his PGA Tour card by finishing in the top 20 on the Korn Ferry Tour points list earlier this year. After his victory, Brown said the magnitude of being a PGA Tour winner had not yet set in and reflected on watching Tiger Woods and other players win major championships as a five-year-old. He added that he is obsessed with the game and looks forward to what comes next.

Tesla will wind down production of its Cybertruck vehicles at its Texas factory next year, Elon Musk said Friday. Musk did not specify whether the company plans to stop making the

Musk did not specify whether the company plans to stop making the trucks entirely or shift production elsewhere, but said the decision was to make room for building more of its self-driving Cybercab cars. Wes Morrill, the project's lead engineer, wrote on social media that Cybertruck was an incredible technology development platform and lives on through Cybercab, appearing to suggest the vehicle is being discontinued.

Elon Musk told investors on November 6 that SpaceX could acquire a legacy telecommunications carrier and use its airwaves ten times more effectively than current operators, though

Musk made the comments by video at the Baron Investment Conference in New York, adding that any purchase would be conditional on SpaceX using spectrum better than the incumbent. Verizon and AT&T each declined 0.89 percent following the remarks, while SpaceX rose 8.62 percent to $134.27.

The 2030 Rugby League World Cup will be held in the United States and the Pacific Islands, with concurrent men's and women's tournaments, International Rugby League announced at its annual general meeting in Sydney. The five host cities have not been confirmed.

The men's tournament will expand from 10 teams to 12, while the women's event will grow from eight teams to 10. IRL chairman Tony Grant said the decision aims to maximize interest from broadcasters and fans while expanding into regions where the World Cup has not previously been played. The 2030 Wheelchair World Cup will be held separately in France.

Ramla Ali secured her first world title at age 36 after defeating Mikiah Kreps by split decision in Arlington, Texas. The British boxer claimed the WBO and IBF super-bantamweight championships with scorecards reading 97-92, 96-93, and 98-91 in her favor. Ali fell to her knees in tears after the announcement, dedicating the victory to her father who died in May.

Ali knocked down the previously undefeated Kreps in the third round with a left hook but faced constant pressure as Kreps outlanded her 115 punches to 78. Ali, who fled war-torn Somalia as a child and became Britain's first Somali Olympian, was knocked out in her first world title attempt in 2023.

Coco Gauff defeated Jessica Pegula 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-2 in her opening match at the WTA Finals in Indian Wells, California. The 22-year-old, who won the tournament in 2024, became the youngest player to appear at five consecutive Finals since Martina Hingis in 2000.

Gauff won the first set after breaking Pegula at 5-4, then rallied from a 5-1 deficit in the second set before Pegula forced a tiebreak. Gauff dominated the third set, winning the first three games and converting her third match point. She will next face Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova in the round-robin format.

A bicycle demonstration organized to promote a boycott of Jewish-owned restaurants drew roughly 300 pro-Palestinian protesters and 200 counter-protesters to Philadelphia on Sunday, resulting in three arrests as the groups clashed verbally in Rittenhouse Square. Philadelphia police arrested a woman on an assault charge, a man on disorderly conduct, and a 17-year-old on an assault on police charge, according to a police spokesperson. Officers formed lines to keep the opposing groups separated as tensions escalated.

The event was organized by Philly Bike On Your Left, which describes itself as an anti-fascist, anti-Zionist social cycling collective. The group announced plans on Oct. 31 to boycott what it called Zionist establishments in solidarity with Palestinians, naming six restaurants including Mac Mart, K'Far Café, Huda, Goldie, Schlesinger's and Dizengoff. Half are owned by restaurant group CookNSolo, whose Israeli co-owners have publicly supported and fundraised for Israel. The restaurants reported long lines of customers showing support during the demonstration.

The planned boycott drew widespread criticism from Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday, who condemned it on social media. The Anti-Defamation League called the protest an attempt to intimidate a Jewish community that has faced generations of violence and to hold Jewish businesses responsible for events in the Middle East, describing it as antisemitic. Nonprofit organization JewBelong installed billboards at 14 locations across Philadelphia urging residents to support Jewish-owned businesses.

Philly Bike On Your Left said in a statement that the ride had been grossly misrepresented and that the group stands against racism and oppression including antisemitism. The organization said the event was planned around schedules and rejected implications about its timing, which fell on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the 1938 Nazi-organized attacks on Jewish communities in Germany, Austria and Sudetenland.

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker said he wants to stay at the club beyond the end of the season, when his current contract expires. The 34-year-old, who joined from Roma for £66.8 million in 2018 and has made 347 appearances for Liverpool, said his family is happy and he remains hungry for titles. He has not spoken directly with the club about a new deal, but his agent is in talks with Liverpool.

Alisson considered a move to Juventus earlier this year but chose to stay at Anfield. Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola said last week he hopes the goalkeeper can continue for more time. Giorgi Mamardashvili is waiting to join the club, and 18-year-old Lucca Brughmans will arrive from Genk in the summer.

Director Denis Villeneuve said Saturday that he is putting final touches on the 70mm Imax print of Dune: Part Three while simultaneously starting work on his James Bond film. Speak

Speaking at the LACMA Art and Film Gala in Los Angeles, where he was honored, Villeneuve called the third Dune installment a very personal project and the completion of 10 years of work in the desert. Villeneuve declined to comment on Bond casting speculation on the red carpet, saying every word would be scrutinized, but added that he is having a great time.

David Warner says former teammate Usman Khawaja is "100% accurate" in his account of Australia's 2018 ball-tampering scandal and called Cricket Australia's investigation "rushed and botched." Warner, who retired from international cricket in 2024, made the statement in a video posted to Instagram supporting Khawaja's recent claim that the entire Australia team knew about the use of sandpaper during the third Test against South Africa in Cape Town.

Warner, captain Steve Smith, and Cameron Bancroft were banned following the incident—Warner and Smith for one year, Bancroft for nine months—while four bowlers denied knowledge of the plan. Warner said he delayed his response to explain the incident to his daughters, adding that "lies will eventually get out." Cricket Australia has not reopened its investigation.

Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull's Max Verstappen will start from the back of the grid at Sunday's São Paulo Grand Prix after power-unit changes resulted in penalties for both

Samsung plans to equip the Galaxy S27 Ultra with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 processor in all markets, according to a report citing leaker yeux1122. The decision follows earlier speculation that Samsung might abandon Qualcomm's chip after reports of overheating and internal benchmark tests showed Samsung's Exynos 2700 processor outperformed the Snapdragon by 15 to 20 percent in multi-core and high-stress tests. Qualcomm has denied overheating claims.

Samsung will reportedly use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 for the Galaxy S27 Pro globally and for the standard S27 and S27 Plus models in the United States, Canada, China, and Japan. Those two models will feature the Exynos 2700 in other markets.

The next James Bond actor is expected to be announced in November or December after final screen tests reportedly took place in late October, according to producer Amy Pascal. Three frontrunners have emerged: Jack Lowden, Josh O'Connor, and Callum Turner, all 36. Other actors in consideration include Nicholas Hoult, Robert Pattinson, Jacob Elordi, and Paul Mescal, though producers have not confirmed any names.

The 26th Bond film will be directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Steven Knight. Production is expected to begin in 2027 for a 2028 release. The announcement may come through Amazon MGM's Prime Video streaming service rather than a traditional press conference.

Nicholas Denton will portray cult British horror filmmaker Michael Reeves opposite Tim Downie as Vincent Price in "Tragedy Man: The Making of Michael Reeves," with Hugh Bonneville cast as producer Tony Tenser.

The screenplay, based on an unpublished short story by film historian Richard Sheppard, was adapted by Sheppard and producer Justin Stanley.

Attorney General Todd Blanche on Sunday dismissed corruption allegations made by former Trump health adviser Calley Means against senior White House officials, calling Means a disg

Blanche told CNN he would not investigate claims Means made on a podcast, even as former FDA Commissioner Marty Makary corroborated aspects of the allegations and Representative Marlin Stutzman, an Indiana Republican, said any impropriety claims should be examined. Means alleged in a Friday interview that former White House chief of staff Susie Wiles blocked an initiative to examine children's sugar consumption because she wanted sugar industry donations for midterm elections.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope study of 37 nearby dwarf galaxies found they retain an average of just 11 percent of the oxygen their stars produce over time, far less than larger galaxies. The most efficient dwarf galaxies held onto about a quarter of their oxygen, while the least efficient retained only 4 percent. The rest likely escaped when exploding stars unleashed winds strong enough to push gas out of the galaxies, which have weak gravity.

Where the missing oxygen ends up remains unknown. Earlier studies found only one to 7 percent in the hot gas halos surrounding these galaxies. Much of the oxygen likely escaped into intergalactic space, but scientists cannot confirm this. The research appears in The Astrophysical Journal.

"Somewhere in the South," a Malaysian feature written and directed by Tan Ce Ding and produced by Anthony Chen, won the $35,000 TAICCA × CNC Feature Film Grand Award at the 2026 Taiwan Creative Content Fest pitching awards in Taipei.

Several other projects received two awards each across categories including series, animation, and documentary. The festival featured 92 pitches across film, series, animation, documentaries, publishing, and comics, with industry participants from 28 countries attending.

John Oliver opened Sunday's episode of "Last Week Tonight" celebrating Democratic victories in the midterm elections, which returned Congress to Democratic control. Oliver highlighted multiple wins, including Texas turning blue, 22 state trifectas, and historic firsts for LGBTQ and minority candidates.

Oliver mocked Elon Musk for spending nearly $500 million during the election cycle, including $200 million unsuccessfully opposing Senator-elect James Talarico in Texas. He also criticized Haley Stevens, a Democrat who backed Republican Mike Rogers over Democratic primary winner Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, saying Stevens "imploded her own political career for nothing."

Singer and broadcaster Michael Ball surprised a couple at their wedding Sunday at Weston Hall in Stafford after facilitating their radio proposal earlier in the summer. Dawn Lloyd and Dave, from Cannock, were married at the venue where Dave first proposed in the late 1990s. Ball appeared without warning during the ceremony and performed Love Changes Everything.

Dave had secretly arranged the summer proposal on Ball's BBC Radio 2 program, reading a love letter on air before proposing to Dawn, his partner of more than 25 years. The couple, who now have three children, finally married at the same venue where their engagement story began decades earlier.

Chelsea has warned staff to avoid inadvertently revealing team news through Fantasy Premier League after forward Joao Pedro's injury appeared to have been disclosed through team selections. An email reminded staff of the consequences of using inside information on public gaming platforms, where changes could reveal unavailable players.

The warning followed leaks before Chelsea's 2-0 home defeat by Tottenham, when Pedro was a surprise absentee with what later emerged to be a quad injury. Fantasy Premier League content creators reported that forward Morgan Rogers and several Chelsea staff members had removed Pedro from their teams before kickoff, despite no club announcement. Chelsea regards the incident as isolated and expects no further restrictions beyond greater awareness.

Microsoft executives clarified that a newly discovered modern Registry Editor application is a sample app demonstrating Microsoft.UI.Reactor technology for developers, not a planned replacement for Windows 11's existing Registry Editor. The app sparked criticism online after some reports suggested it was a real modernization effort, prompting Microsoft Vice President Scott Hanselman and Corporate Vice President Marcus Ash to confirm on social media that the app is not coming to Windows 11.

The sample app was designed to showcase what developers can build with the technology. Microsoft has not announced plans to ship a modernized Registry Editor, though the existing tool remains on a list for potential future updates under the company's Windows K2 effort.

At least 34 people died after a boat carrying migrants capsized off the coast of Senegal while heading toward Spain's Canary Islands, according to the Senegalese Press Agency. One person was rescued from the wooden vessel, which sank between Dakar and Saint-Louis. The number of people still missing remained unconfirmed. All bodies recovered so far were Senegalese, according to a local migrant aid group.

The sinking comes amid a deadly surge on the Atlantic migration route. A migrant rights group recorded 635 deaths between January and May on the route to the Canary Islands, estimating 21 deaths for every 100 arrivals. Spain declared a state of emergency on El Hierro on Saturday after more than 3,300 migrants arrived in early November, nearly one-third of the island's population.

Three children and one woman were killed when a sand embankment collapsed onto tents in central Gaza following heavy rain, the Hamas-run health ministry said Monday. Five injured people were rescued after the incident Sunday night at a displacement camp south of Deir al-Balah. The victims were identified as Tahrir Nabhan, children Mariam and Salah Nabhan, and Habiba al-Zein.

Torrential rain on Saturday flooded tens of thousands of tents across Gaza, with water levels reaching up to 1.5 meters in some areas. Gaza's 2.1 million population is confined to 30 percent of the territory, with many displaced people living in makeshift camps. The Civil Defence service said it responded to only 10 percent of the 2,100 distress calls received during the flooding.

Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness said forward Jamal Musiala may never regain his previous performance level after the 23-year-old Germany international was diagnosed with a treatable neurological dysfunction. Musiala collapsed twice in four days during pre-season, and Hoeness said the condition cannot be cured but can be controlled with medication. Musiala has scored two goals in four games for Bayern this season.

Former Germany captain Lothar Matthaus said Hoeness was trying to motivate Musiala rather than simply support him. Musiala, who is under contract until 2030, shared the Golden Boot as joint leading scorer at Euro 2024. He has not played since sustaining a hamstring injury in September but recently returned to training.

A minister said early investigations indicate he was inspired by far-right ideologies and described him as an ultra-nationalist.
