Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is monitoring the NFL from home as he continues to recover from the season-ending knee injury he suffered in Week 4. During the Dolphins’ lone win over the New York Jets, Hill suffered a gruesome injury, dislocating his knee and tearing his ACL (among other ligaments). He recently underwent surgery and will not return for Miami this season. Hill sent a message to his Dolphins teammates on social media as they struggled against the Cleveland Browns in their Week 7 matchup. “Let’s go fins let’s turn this thing around in the second half,” Hill wrote on X after the Dolphins trailed 17-6 at the halftime break. Hill then turned his attention toward his former team, the Kansas City Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ offense is absolutely rolling against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, leading 31-0 at the end of the third quarter. Wide receiver Rashee Rice has been excellent in his first game back since his NFL suspension, reeling in seven catches for 42 yards and two touchdowns. Mahomes was replaced by backup QB Gardner Minshew for the fourth quarter. The MVP candidate finished his day with 289 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions on 26/35 passing. “Also Rashee Rice is so dangerous !! Chiefs back rolling love to see it,” Hill wrote on X.

Through six seasons in Kansas City, the superstar wide receiver caught 479 passes for 6,630 yards and 56 touchdowns — earning three All-Pro selections and six Pro-Bowl appearances. With Sunday’s Week 7 win, the Chiefs improve their 2025 season record to 4-3. The reigning AFC champions have now won four of their last five games.

But he’s be warned to avoid making a huge unforced error. Benedict BrookUS Correspondent @BenedictBrook October 20, 2025 - 6:09AM Share via Email Share on Facebook Share on Whatsapp Listen to this article Copied URL to clipboard Trump snubs Australia at UN General Assembly Trump snubs Australia at UN General Assembly #trump #auspol #unitednations #UN Donald Trump has snubbed Anthony Albanese at... Anthony Albanese is set to – finally – get his face-to-face meeting with Donald Trump on Monday, a mere 10 months after his inauguration. He won’t be alone. Ambassador to the US and former PM Kevin Rudd, Treasurer Jim Chalmers and Minister for the Defence Industry Pat Conroy will be in tow. Some commentators have suggested the lack of an Oval Office invite had been a sign America no longer cares about Australia; that the previously rock solid relationship has deteriorated. But a watcher of US-Australia affairs has said the lack of a meeting until now might even prove the exact opposite: that Canberra and Washington are in a great place. However, Jared Mondschein, the research director at the United States Studies Centre, located at the University of Sydney, told news.com.au there’s a mistake the Prime Minister should avoid making when he goes into the lion’s den with the famously mercurial Mr Trump. And a subject that was huge a few months ago – but might not be worth even raising now. Copied URL to clipboard Trump claims no other president "has ended any wars" Donald Trump has said India has agreed to stop... Mr Albanese had planned to speak to Mr Trump at June’s G7 summit in Canada. But the US President – who is said to be no fan of long winded international meetings – headed back to DC early. Mr Trump’s Irish Exit left Australia without the promised pow wow. Last month, Mr Albanese did get a selfie with Mr Trump at the United Nations in New York, but a sit down still eluded him. It’s a selfie but not a sit-down chat. Picture: PMO Contrast that with Finland’s President Alexander Stubb. A man who leads a country with a population the same size as Sydney has met Mr Trump three times this year in the US alone. Mr Albanese will finally get his first meeting on Monday (early Tuesday, Australia time) with the full White House treatment: flags, fireside chat and a formal meeting over lunch. The United States Studies Centre’s Mr Mondschein told news.com.au Mr Albanese shouldn’t compare his access to that of the Finnish leader. For one, Finland borders Russia so it makes sense for him to stay close to Mr Trump; Mr Stubb also happens to be a former championship golfer so has the ability to indulge in some fairway diplomacy. “It’s still less than a year into the Trump administration – which is unconventional even compared to the first Trump administration – and there are two major wars, so there have been some more pressing issues (for Mr Trump),” he said. Indeed, Mr Mondschein said, the lack of a meeting so far likely showed relations were generally stable. “There’s not that much wrong between the US and Australia, there’s not all that much that needs to be fixed,” he said. Finland’s Alexander Stubb has met Donald Trump three times in the US this year, once for a round of golf. Picture: Truth Social “Australia has decades of a security treaty with the US, a free-trade agreement, intelligence co-operation as well as over a century of fighting with the US in every major war. “From a bilateral perspective, everything is going great.” But, said Mr Mondschein, it was still critical that the two leaders spoke due to the worsening security situation in the Indo-Pacific due to China’s actions. “It’s just gotten worse and worse, and that’s why Australia has never been more important, more consequential or more influential in DC in the history of the US Australia alliance,” he said. Polling from the United States Studies Centre has found a mere 16 per cent of Australians surveyed thought the Trump administration was a positive for Australia. Yet, 69 per cent see the US as an ally and 47 per cent say it needs the American alliance “now more than ever”. Australian Ambassador to the United States Kevin Rudd will likely join Anthony Albanese in the Oval Office. Picture: Lukas Koch/AAP The big issue PM needs to discuss Mr Albanese would dearly love for Mr Trump to emphatically recommit to the AUKUS alliance on Monday. The White House has had the military pact under review for months with the worst possibility being it scraps the $368 billion project depriving Australia of nuclear powered subs to deter China’s threats. That review may not be finished by Monday but there have been rumblings the Trump administration sees AUKUS positively. Nonetheless, Mr Mondschein told news.com.au Mr Albanese will have to drill home to Mr Trump the pact’s benefits to the US. “AUKUS sees Australia pay for second-hand US submarines, pay for the expansion of the US defence industrial base, take up more of the burden of security in its own region and give US naval vessels more capacity to stay in the Indo-Pacific region,” he said. “AUKUS is a pretty good deal for the United States.” A benefit of waiting months for a meeting is Mr Albanese can learn the lessons of those who have gone before – from the train wreck of the first visit of Volodymyr Zelensky to Mr Trump’s pally chats with Finland’s Mr Stubb and Britain’s Keir Starmer. Lashings of flattery from the PM, which could be awkward for the Australian ear to hear, will almost certainly be on offer. Render of the SSN-AUKUS Nuclear-Powered Submarine. Credit: BAE Systems Mistakes not to make But Mr Mondschein warned Mr Albanese not to fall into the trap of being either too meek or too emotional, like Mr Zelensky in February. Mr Trump won’t mind a bit of push back, he said, as he’s had from Canada’s Mark Carney when any talk of the “51st state” has come up. “You have to stay calm, cool and collected, which shouldn’t be difficult for democratically elected politicians who, by definition, have to deal with opponents,” he said. Yet Australia shouldn’t go cap-in-hand either, begging for the scraps off America’s table. Canberra has cards to play, he said: it can offer what the US needs. Be that military support in a key region or access to critical minerals, which Australia has in abundance and America needs. Subject to steer clear off Tariffs – which caused a geopolitical earthquake earlier this year – may come up over lunch. But, said Mr Mondschein, it’s best for the PM to not get too bogged down, considering Australia currently has just about the lowest levies globally. “Australia has a lot of political capital with the US. By no means should we ignore the fact that (tariffs) is not something you generally do on free trade partners and close allies,” he said. “But I don’t think that focusing on bilateral tariffs is really the most important of agenda items for this administration.” Australia’s recognition of Palestine was potentially a pain point. But given the Gaza ceasefire that risk may have faded. Even if a White House meeting with Donald Trump goes badly, things can still be patched up – just ask Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky.

More Coverage Stern letter to Albo before Trump meet Joseph Olbrycht-Palmer Albo’s Trump selfie instantly goes viral Joseph Olbrycht-Palmer, Benedict Brook and Jessica Wang Maybe not, said Mr Mondschein. After all, just look at Mr Zelensky’s rehabilitation. It showed the Trump administration could be brought around. “If this meeting were to go negatively, I don’t think there would be long or even medium term implications,” he said. “It’s one meeting, there’s opportunities to do a lot more. I don’t think that they’re going to completely sidetrack US-Australian relations.” Read related topics:Anthony AlbaneseDonald Trump More related stories Travel Updates ‘Fundamental shift’: US, Aus losing power The US used to be a mainstay in the top 10 of this global index, but places ‘resting on past privilege’ are now being left behind, experts say.

Israeli forces have clashed with Hamas in a new sign of pressure on a peace deal in Gaza, blocking the flow of food and medical supplies to Palestinians while the two sides blame each other for flouting a ceasefire. The Israel Defence Forces launched airstrikes and artillery fire against militants on Sunday in the southern part of the war-torn territory near the Rafah crossing into Egypt, saying it was responding to being fired upon. Israel said Hamas fighters had fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire at the soldiers in an area that was controlled by Israeli under the terms of the ceasefire, and it vowed to fire back if the attacks continued. But Hamas said the Israeli forces had repeatedly violated the ceasefire and claimed, without verification by any other source, that 46 people had been killed in recent days. In a dramatic escalation of tensions, Israel said it would suspend the delivery of all humanitarian aid into Gaza until further notice. Read the full report by Europe correspondent David Crowe.
“I look forward to a positive and constructive meeting with President Trump at the White House,” Albanese said on Sunday before heading to the US, where he will remain until Tuesday. “Our meeting is an important opportunity to consolidate and strengthen the Australia-US relationship.” On Wall Street on Friday, a jittery week for US stocks ended on a positive note as the White House soothed anxiety around trade tensions while regional banks rebounded. The S&P 500 rose 0.5 per cent, as did the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq composite. Bonds, gold and silver fell. Indexes had careened through several jarring swings over the week as worries built about the financial health of America’s small and midsized banks, as well as the souring trade relationship between the US and China. However, Friday’s bounce sent the S&P 500 to its best week since August, with Trump expressing optimism that talks with Chinese officials could yield an agreement to defuse the tariff spat between the world’s two biggest economies. A batch of solid results from various regional lenders lifted the banking industry after a rout triggered by concern over credit quality in the economy.

A festival that pays homage to Madrid's agriculture saw a sea of wool baa-dly jam the streets. Revellers of the Transhumance Festival were left amused after seeing 1,100 sheep and 200 goats next to the city's iconic landmarks. Throughout the streets, onlookers could see parades of mutton and hear bells, bleats, baas, and horn music, which attracted crowds of thousands. The Transhumance Festival has been running since 1994 and aims to highlight environmental benefits of traditional grazing, where livestock clear brush and other flammable undergrowth to reduce the spread of wildfires. Transhumance is the term used to describe the movement between seasonal pastures. Every year, festival organisers recreate the pastoral practice of moving livestock to new grazing grounds. Environmentalist, Juan García Vicente, who's been part of the festival for 30 years, said Spain's summer was one of the most destructive wildfire seasons recorded in its history. 'We have to fight this along several fronts,' Vicente said of climate change, also warning of the 'total abandonment of the rural world' in Spain. American tourist, Jennifer Granda said, 'It's a very interesting concept... we appreciated the idea that they're promoting agriculture.' Madrid is part of an ancient migration route that's part of a vast grid of farming paths that cover the Iberian Peninsula. Festival organisers pay a symbolic fee to let livestock pass safely. The payment in medieval coins is 50 maravedis, presented at Madrid's city hall, dates back to an agreement between the city and shepherds from 1418. California and other parts of Europe, including towns and smaller cities around Italy and France, hold similar events. The festival was cancelled last year due to concerns about a bluetongue disease variant. The rate of traditional farming methods has decreased to a small group of farmers who keep the tradition of transhumance alive for both environmental factors and cultural value. Madrid local, Ana Vásquez caught the end of the festival in a congested Puerta del Sol square with her husband. 'It's another traditional festival,' she said, in reference to the many other "fiestas" Spaniards celebrate. 'It recalls another era, and, well, it's nice.
