Mediji: SAD modernizuju bazu u Portoriku

Američka vojska sprovodi modernizaciju svoje odavno napuštene pomorske baze u Portoriku iz vremena Hladnog rata, što sugeriše pripreme za prolongirane operacije protiv Venecuele, prenosi Rojters. Modernizacija u bivšoj bazi “Ruzvelt Rouds”, koju je američka mornarica zatvorila pre više od dve decenije, u toku je od 17. septembra, pokazuju snimci agencije. Do povlačenja mornarice SAD 2004. ova baza je bila jedna od najvećih američkih pomorskih stanica na svetu. Kako navodi agencija, modernizacija baze nagoveštava da su u toku pripreme za operaciju koja bi mogla da bude podrška eventualnim akcijama unutar Venecuele. Baza zauzima stratešku lokaciju i ima veliki prostor na koji može da se smesti oprema, naveo je neimenovani američki zvaničnik za Rojters. Pored modernizacije baze i piste u njenom sklopu, SAD proširuju i objekte na civilnim aerodromima u Portoriku i na Devičanskim ostrvima. Obe ove američke teritorije udaljene su oko 500 milja od Venecuele. Predsednik te zemlje Nikolas Maduro u više navrata je ponovio da SAD nastoje da ga svrgnu s vlasti, podseća Rojters. Od početka septembra, SAD su izvele najmanje 14 udara na plovila za koja navode da prevoze drogu u regionu Kariba i na Pacifiku, a u njima je ubijena 61 osoba. Ovi napadi pojačali su tenzije SAD sa Venecuelom i Kolumbijom, navodi Rojters.

GPL 2025/26: Sampson Eduku first half strike downs Young Apostles 

Bibiani GoldStars continued their good run of form following their win on matchday eight of the Ghana Premier League. The Miners recorded a 1-0 win over Young Apostles to make it three wins in their last four games. Sampson Eduku scored the only goal of a keenly-contested game at the Dun’s Park. Gold Stars enjoyed a great spell of possession in the opening minutes of the game and created some decent chances. However, they were unable to convert their chances and make the visiting team pay for leaving spaces behind their defence. Eduku changed that narrative before the break as he scored in added time of the opening half to break the deadlock. GoldStars went into the break with just the 1-0 lead from Eduku’s goal. After the recess, the two teams continued to have a go at each other. Young Apostles had opportunities to draw level but the home team were keen to keep a clean sheet and ensure they claim all three points. Having achieved their mission, GoldStars now climb to third position on the league table, two points behind league leaders Aduana FC and one behind second-placed Medeama. GoldStars are up against Basake Holy Stars in their next league game while Young Apostles face Bechem United at home.

Red Cross received remains of 3 hostages in Gaza, will be handed to Israel's military

Israel said the Red Cross has received the remains of three hostages in Gaza and they will be handed over to Israel's military. A Hamas statement earlier said the remains were found Sunday in a tunnel in southern Gaza. Since the ceasefire in Gaza took effect on October 10, Palestinian militants had released the remains of 17 hostages, with 11 remaining in Gaza. Militants have released one or two bodies every few days. Israel has urged faster progress, and in certain cases it has said the remains aren't of any hostage. Hamas has said the work is complicated by widespread devastation. Israel's military said official identification of these remains would be provided to families first. Israel in turn has been releasing the remains of 15 Palestinians for the return of the remains of an Israeli hostage. Health officials in Gaza have struggled to identify bodies without access to DNA kits. Only 75 of the 225 Palestinian bodies returned since the ceasefire began have been identified, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which has posted photos of remains in the hope that families will recognise them. It is unclear if the Palestinians returned were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel that sparked the war, died in Israeli custody as detainees or were recovered from Gaza by troops during the war. The exchange has been the central part of the initial phase of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire. The 20-point plan includes the formation of an international stabilisation force of Arab and other partners that would work with Egypt and Jordan on securing Gaza's borders and ensure the ceasefire is respected. Multiple nations have shown interest in taking part in a peacekeeping force but called for a clear UN Security Council mandate before committing troops. Other difficult questions include Hamas' disarmament and the governance of a postwar Gaza, as well as when and how humanitarian aid will be increased. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier Sunday that “there are still pockets of Hamas” in parts of Gaza controlled by Israeli forces. “There are actually two in Rafah and Khan Younis, and they will be eliminated,” Mr. Netanyahu said during a Cabinet meeting. The deadliest and most destructive war ever fought between Israel and Hamas began with the Hamas-led 2023 attack that killed about 1,200 people and took 251 others hostage. Israel's military offensive has killed more than 68,600 Palestinians in Gaza, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which doesn't distinguish between civilians and combatants. The Ministry, part of the Hamas-run government and staffed by medical professionals, maintains detailed records viewed as generally reliable by independent experts. Israel, which has denied accusations by a UN commission of inquiry and others of committing genocide in Gaza, has disputed the Ministry's figures without providing a contradicting toll.

Chevron's Hess Megadeal Is Quickly Paying Off

Chevron's Hess Megadeal Is Quickly Paying Off

After a long, hard-fought battle, Chevron (CVX +2.74%) finally closed its roughly $60 billion acquisition of Hess this July, and that megadeal has quickly paid dividends. It helped fuel a significant increase in Chevron's production and free cash flow (FCF) during the third quarter. Here's a look at Chevron's recent quarterly results and what's ahead for the oil company. Drilling down into Chevron's third-quarter results Chevron produced $3.6 billion of adjusted earnings during the third quarter and $9.4 billion in cash from operations. The oil giant also produced $7 billion of adjusted free cash flow. Its earnings were down compared to the year-ago period ($4.5 billion) due to lower oil prices as the average Brent crude price declined from $80 to $69 a barrel, but its FCF soared 50%. The company produced a record-breaking 4.1 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day during the period. That was up 21% compared to last year, fueled by the acquisition of Hess, its continued development in the Permian Basin, and recently completed projects in the Gulf of Mexico (the Gulf of America, per President Donald Trump) and Kazakhstan. It delivered an impressive 27% increase in U.S. production, primarily driven by Hess, the Permian, and its Gulf projects. Chevron's robust FCF enabled it to return $6 billion to shareholders in the quarter. It made $3.4 billion of dividend payments and completed $2.6 billion of share repurchases. The company has now returned $78 billion to its shareholders over the past three years. An even bigger free cash flow gusher awaits in 2026 Chevron's investments in growing its legacy operations, combined with the recently completed Hess deal, give it considerable momentum as it heads into 2026. Given the timing and ramp-up of its projects in Kazakhstan, the Gulf, and the Permian Basin, these catalysts will deliver a meaningful step up in FCF next year. At $70 oil, the company's legacy business would produce an incremental $10 billion in annualized FCF next year. Meanwhile, the Hess deal will add to that total and extend its production and FCF growth outlook into the 2030s. Chevron expects Hess to contribute an additional $2.5 billion in annual FCF next year at a $70 oil price. In addition to the contribution of that company's legacy operations, the merger is expected to generate $1 billion in cost savings by the end of this year. Hess' partner in Guyana, ExxonMobil, also recently completed the fourth project (Yellowtail), which will add to its production and cash flow over the coming year. Exxon and its partners in Guyana recently approved the $6.8 billion Hammerhead project, which should start producing in 2029. That's the seventh project they have either completed or expect to bring on line over the next few years. These expansion projects will fuel production and FCF growth for Chevron through the early part of the next decade. Chevron's growing FCF will enable it to continue returning substantial cash to shareholders. It has raised its dividend for 38 straight years, growing its payout at a peer-leading pace over the past decade. The oil giant also expects to repurchase between $10 billion and $20 billion of its shares each year. Hess was worth the wait It took Chevron more than a year to close the Hess deal due to a dispute with its new partner, Exxon, over Guyana. It has been worth the wait and the effort to finalize the deal. Hess helped accelerate the company's production growth in the third quarter, contributing to its robust FCF. The deal should continue paying dividends in 2026 and beyond. That visible growth makes Chevron a very compelling oil stock to buy and hold for the long term.

Strictly fan favourite eliminated from show after ‘amazing journey’ with partner

Strictly 2025 is now down to just nine competitors following the latest exit (Picture: BBC/Guy Levy) A Strictly Come Dancing contestant who was tipped to be the favourite at the start of the competition has been eliminated in an emotional results show. Tonight’s show saw Ellie Goldstein and Vito Coppola leave the competition following a dance-off against Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon. Both couples performed their routines again, with Ellie and Vito doing their tango to Abracadabra by Lady Gaga and Balvinder and Julian dancing a rumba to Stay by Shakespears Sister. After both couples had danced for a second time, the judges delivered their verdicts, with Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse choosing to save Balvinder and Julian. Head Judge Shirley Ballas – who this week was the judge with the casting vote – said that she would have chosen to save Balvinder and Julian also if her vote was required. Asked about her time on the show, she added of trailblazing model Ellie, 23: ‘Ellie was outstanding throughout the whole competition’. Ellie Goldstein and Vito Coppola were eliminated on Halloween night (Picture: Guy Levy/BBC/PA Wire) Fans described Ellie as being ‘incredible’ on the show (Picture: Guy Levy/BBC/PA Wire) Responding to the news of Ellie’s exit on social media, several fans praised her performances throughout the contest and said how sad they were to see her leave. ‘Ellie brought so much joy and happiness to the dance floor each week and Vito is honestly the most kind hearted soul. They had the most beautiful partnership this season. Ellie should be so proud of what she has achieved’, wrote @Steph832 on X. @lucymaygoodwin added: ‘Ellie has been such a joy to watch on Strictly, she’s clearly had the time of her life and Vito has supported her journey so perfectly with the right level of sensitivity; like any big brother would. Someone pass me a tissue’. ‘Ellie has really been such a joyful presence on #strictly this year, bringing the sass, bringing the performance skills from day ONE!! A true STAR and I hope she’s made people question their own expectations’, wrote @scddevereaux. Others were keen to heap praise on ‘resilient’ soap actress Balvinder, who has faced several dance-offs already this year. ‘Bal is facing an uphill battle. week after week, she dances through bias, double standards & unfair scores — yet her light never dims. she fights back, shines on that floor & proves why she belongs. improving & inspiring with grace & grit. she’s a warrior’, tweeted @itsamy_xo. Vito promised Ellie that they would continue to dance (Picture: Ken McKay/ITV/Shutterstock) The model made history with her casting this year (Picture: Guy Levy/BBC/PA Wire) Following the moment she was voted out, host Tess Daly said to Vito about Ellie: ‘Everyone behind the scenes, everyone in front of the camera, everyone at home, can see what an incredible partnership you have had with Ellie and just how much it means to you.’ Vito then told Ellie: ‘Honestly, there are no words I can use to describe how proud I am of you, and you did really change my life so much. You made me such a better person. ‘At the beginning of this year, I said to myself, “Please, please, please, can you send me a beautiful angel into my life?” And now you arrived. I’ve never had a little sister, but I always wanted one. Now, I have you, and you’re my little sister forever, and your big brother is always by your side.’ Comment nowWho are you backing to win Strictly 2025?Comment Now Responding to Vito, Ellie added: ‘I’ve enjoyed it so much! He is a kind person, and all I wanted from day one. You have been so heartwarming, thank you to you [Vito].’ Vito, who previously lifted the Glitter Ball with Ellie Leach and made the final with with partners Fleur East and Sarah Hadland, then promised Ellie that they would keep dancing together. Ellie made history with her Strictly casting, having been the first celebrity with Down syndrome to compete on the main series. Viewers have praised Balvinder Sopal for her ‘resilience’ after surviving several dance-offs (Picture: Guy Levy/BBC/PA Wire) Speaking ahead of launch night, the Vogue cover star declared that she wanted to be an ‘inspiration’ to others. Ellie, who doctors said might ‘never walk or talk’ when she was born, told the Daily Mail: ‘Being the first contestant with Down syndrome in the main Strictly series gives me the chance to show everyone who I am, what I’ve achieved, and what I’m capable of. ‘I hope I can be an inspiration to others watching at home—and most of all, I hope I make people smile and feel happy when they see me dancing!’ Elsewhere in Sunday night’s results, there was a special performance of How to Be Human by Cat Burns, accompanied by a routine from professional dancers Michelle Tsiakkas and Nancy Xu. Next week’s results will see the professionals joined by the Band of the Royal Air Force Regiment to mark Remembrance Sunday. Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Saturday, 8 November, at 6:25pm, with the results show on Sunday, 9 November, at 7:10pm. Got a story?

Nicki Minaj Applauds Trump’s Bid to Bomb and Invade Nigeria

American rapper Nicki Minaj has publicly thanked Donald Trump for taking a strong stance on the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, a move that has drawn mixed reactions both in the United States and across Africa. Minaj took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her appreciation after the former U.S. president issued a statement condemning the ongoing violence against Christians in Nigeria, vowing to prioritise religious freedom and consider further U.S. action. “We live in a country where we can freely worship God. No group should ever be persecuted for practising their religion,” Minaj wrote, adding that Trump’s comments gave her “a deep sense of gratitude.” Trump, who recently designated Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” under the 1998 International Religious Freedom Act, stated on Truth Social that Christianity faces “an existential threat” in the West African nation. He alleged that “thousands of Christians are being killed” by extremist groups and warned that “the United States cannot stand by while such atrocities continue.” The Grammy-winning artist, who has been increasingly open about her Christian faith, urged her 130 million followers to “lift them up in prayer,” referencing persecuted Christians worldwide. She also emphasised the need for mutual respect among faiths, writing: “We don’t have to share the same beliefs to respect each other. It’s dangerous to pretend we don’t see what’s happening.” U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz praised Minaj for “using her platform to speak out in defence of persecuted Christians,” saying her message “helps draw attention to a humanitarian tragedy the world has too often ignored.” However, the controversy quickly took a geopolitical turn. The Nigerian government dismissed Trump’s comments and rejected his threat of potential U.S. military intervention. Presidential spokesman Daniel Bwala told the Associated Press that Trump’s remarks were “based on misleading reports” and “part of his aggressive style of forcing dialogue.” Bwala stressed that Nigeria is a sovereign nation and that “no foreign power can unilaterally carry out military operations” within its borders. He added that while Nigeria faces widespread violence, the conflict affects both Christians and Muslims, not one religious group exclusively. Experts agree that the crisis is complex, involving terrorism, ethnic tensions, and competition over land and resources. “The geography of violence largely determines who becomes the victim,” said Taiwo Hassan Adebayo of the Institute for Security Studies. “It’s not strictly a religious war but a reflection of state failure to maintain security.” Analysts warn that the escalating rhetoric from Washington could strain U.S.–Nigeria relations if it leads to sanctions or military threats. As one researcher, Cheta Nwanze of SBM Intelligence, put it: “The criticism from Washington did not happen in a vacuum — it’s the result of years of inaction against armed groups.” Meanwhile, Minaj’s statement continues to divide opinion, with some applauding her compassion and others accusing her of endorsing Trump’s controversial foreign policy stance. Nonetheless, her post has reignited global discussion on faith, freedom, and the human cost of religious violence in Africa’s most populous nation.

Google: AI pretraga dobija reklame, ali biće drugačije

Kako je Google saopštio, oglašavanje će i dalje imati centralnu ulogu u Google pretrazi, ali će se prilagoditi novom načinu na koji korisnici komuniciraju sa rezultatima kroz AI modele. U okviru novog sistema “AI Overviews” i “AI Mode”, korisnici dobijaju sažete odgovore i preporuke zasnovane na veštačkoj inteligenciji, često bez potrebe da kliknu na pojedinačne linkove. Upravo zato Google traži način da reklame u tom kontekstu budu prirodno integrisane u AI rezultate, a ne da samo zauzimaju prostor iznad njih. Kompanija nije precizirala tačan format oglasa, ali navodi da bi oni mogli biti dinamičniji i personalizovani u zavisnosti od pitanja korisnika. Na primer, korisnik bi mogao da uslika svoje patike i upita: “Koje druge slične modele preporučujete?” a sistem bi uz AI odgovor mogao da prikaže i relevantne sponzorisane ponude. Testiranja novog modela prikazivanja oglasa već su u toku u okviru “AI Mode” režima pretrage, dok se šira primena očekuje naredne godine. Google tvrdi da će sve reklame u AI pretrazi biti jasno označene, kako bi korisnici mogli da razlikuju plaćeni sadržaj od organskih AI preporuka.

No trades imminent for Saints WRs Rashid Shaheed, Chris Olave

New Orleans’ receiver tandem of Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed has drawn significant interest recently, and the latter represents a logical candidate to be dealt. New Orleans is open to moving on from Shaheed, a pending free agent, but a drop in asking price would likely be needed for that to take place. The team has already reportedly requested a third-round pick from an AFC suitor. No movement on the Shaheed front has taken place, while an Olave extension remains a possbility. Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com confirms the trade markets in both cases have been “tepid” up to this point. It would come as a surprise if a buyer were to part with a Day 2 selection for a rental, although there is of course precedent in that regard. In any event, Duncan predicts there will not be any substantial deals finalized over the next few days. There are several other Saints players who could be on the radar of contending teams ahead of the deadline. According to Duncan, though, there has been “little interest” shown in New Orleans’ veterans. A swap involving the likes of running back Alvin Kamara or defensive end Cameron Jordan would be surprising, but Brandin Cooks represents an experienced option who would be affordable. No stranger to being dealt, Cooks is attached to a 2025 salary of just $1.26MM and with a small portion of his scheduled compensation for next guaranteed he could easily be cut after the campaign by any acquiring team. It will be interesting to see if teams which bow out of the Shaheed sweepstakes turn their attention to Cooks as a fallback WR option prior to Tuesday afternoon’s deadline. Failing a move along those lines, it could very well prove to be a quiet deadline for the Saints.
