Thousands of travellers faced chaos on Friday as more than 5,000 flights across the United States were cancelled or delayed. The disruption followed new federal mandates forcing airlines to scale back operations amid the prolonged government shutdown. The new measures, imposed at 40 of the nation’s busiest airports, aim to relieve strain on unpaid air traffic controllers and other essential workers. Many federal employees have been missing shifts or seeking side jobs as the shutdown drags into its second month. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ordered a 4% reduction in flights nationwide, warning the cuts could rise to 10% by…

David Raya’s remarkable run of form continued as Arsenal matched a 122-year-old club record with their eighth consecutive clean sheet in all competitions. The Spanish goalkeeper was rarely troubled during Arsenal’s 3–0 Champions League win over Slavia Prague, but his alertness never wavered — even sprinting to the touchline to consult goalkeeping coach Iñaki Caña when a late penalty was awarded, before VAR overturned the decision. Since Nick Woltemade’s goal for Newcastle on 28 September, Raya has gone nearly 13 hours without conceding, facing only 12 shots on target during that period. His 50th clean sheet in 110 appearances since…

The Italian made seven changes to his starting XI in Baku, prompting questions after the result, but club officials see his approach as essential to sustaining performance across four competitions. Chelsea view Maresca’s rotation as a strategic long-term plan, not a gamble, ensuring player freshness in a season shortened by a disrupted pre-season and multiple injuries. Key players Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill and Benoît Badiashile were unavailable, while Moisés Caicedo and Enzo Fernández started on…

President Donald Trump’s sweeping use of tariffs faced a storm of questions at the Supreme Court on Wednesday in a case that could reshape presidential authority and global trade policy. Several conservative justices appeared skeptical of the administration’s argument that the import duties were needed to protect American industry and fix trade imbalances. A coalition of small businesses and several states brought the challenge, claiming Trump exceeded his authority by imposing what they called an unlawful tax. The court’s 6–3 conservative majority usually takes months to decide major cases, but many expect a quicker ruling in this politically sensitive fight…

Sir David Attenborough’s new BBC series Kingdom captures extraordinary wildlife moments — including a lion rescuing a pregnant hyena from a pack of wild dogs. Filmed over five years in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley, the series follows lions, hyenas, leopards, and wild dogs as they battle for survival. “Only nature could write this script,” said executive producer Mike Gunton.
