Couple killed in hit & run on way to family dinner could have pushed daughter to safety as tragic new details emergeThe Gunners delivered the statement Champions League victory their manager had demanded to bounce back from a narrow defeat at Inter Milan last time out. Goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard got their continental campaign back on track, lifting them to seventh place with 10 points in the new-look 36-team table. It was Arsenal’s biggest away win in the Champions League since beating Inter by the same scoreline in 2003. “For sure, especially against opposition we played at their home who have not lost a game in 18 months – they have been in top form here – so to play with the level, the determination, the purpose and the fluidity we showed today, I am very pleased,” said Arteta. “The team played with so much courage, because they are so good. When I’m watching them live they are so good! They were all exceptional today. It was a big performance, a big win and we are really happy. “The performance was there a few times when we have played big teams. That’s the level that we have to be able to cope and you have to make it happen, and that creates belief.” A memorable victory also ended Sporting’s unbeaten start to the season, a streak of 17 wins and one draw, the vast majority of which prompted Manchester United to prise away head coach Ruben Amorim. The Gunners took the lead after only seven minutes when Martinelli tucked in Jurrien Timber’s cross, and Saka teed up Havertz for a tap-in to double the advantage. Arsenal added a third on the stroke of half-time, Gabriel charging in to head Declan Rice’s corner into the back of the net. To rub salt in the wound, the Brazilian defender mimicked Viktor Gyokeres’ hands-over-his-face goal celebration. That may have wound Sporting up as they came out after the interval meaning business, and they pulled one back after David Raya tipped Hidemasa Morita’s shot behind, with Goncalo Inacio netting at the near post from the corner. But when Martin Odegaard’s darting run into the area was halted by Ousmane Diomande’s foul, Saka tucked away the penalty. Substitute Trossard added the fifth with eight minutes remaining, heading in the rebound after Mikel Merino’s shot was saved. A miserable night for prolific Sporting striker Gyokeres was summed up when his late shot crashed back off the post.Trump brings back government by social media

Senegal's prime minister Ousmane Sonko reasserted that all foreign military bases will be closed "in the very near future" as the West struggles to maintain its presence in Africa. Senegal 's Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko spoke for hours in parliament on Friday, laying out the new government's plans barely a month after the decisive parliamentary election victory cementing the authority of President Diomaye Faye, elected earlier in the year . He touched on multiple domestic issues, not least a contentious plan to waive amnesty rules passed by the previous government, potentially with a view to prosecuting rivals like former President Macky Sall. Sonko also declared all foreign military bases in the country should be closed, saying this idea had first been put forward by President Faye. "The President of the Republic has decided to close all foreign military bases in the very near future," Sonko said, to applause from the chamber. Western footprint in francophone Sahel fading fast Faye, who dissolved parliament and called snap elections during his first months in office , last month expressed the desire to close French military bases in Senegal. "Senegal is an independent country, it is a sovereign country, and sovereignty does not accommodate the presence of foreign military bases," he said during a rare media interview. Western powers have been struggling to maintain their presence in the Sahel region amid a series of coups in countries like Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, with the military governments all subsequently turning to Russia for assistance instead. They've ramped up diplomatic efforts with countries like Senegal and the Ivory Coast in response, but the change of government in Dakar looks set to pose further challenges. France has now left Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso entirely, and on Thursday said it had also pulled its last troops out of a base in Chad. It is believed to have around 350 troops in Senegal. Germany looks to expand cooperation with West Africa To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Sonko's other plans — revoking amnesty for former President Sall The Senegalese prime minister told the lawmakers that the government was working to repeal a mass amnesty law that was one of the last major acts of former President Macky Sall. A project aimed at revoking the initiative would be put forward "in the coming weeks," Sonko said. Sall passed the law amid mass protests in the run-up to the presidential election , seemingly in a bid to calm tensions, releasing hundreds of people imprisoned on charges connected with stoking public violence. This amnesty ultimately allowed both Faye and Sonko to run for public office , and win power, though Sall's critics claim it was also designed to shield him in the future. "This is not a witch hunt, much less revenge," Sonko told parliament. "It is about justice, the pillar without which no social peace can be built." Will Senegal's Diomaye deliver? To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video What else did Sonko pledge? Sonko said his government would change its visa policy with a number of European countries, including France, as well as the US, saying it would demand "free visas for Senegalese nationals on the basis of the principle of reciprocity." Senegal had scrapped its visa fees in 2015 in a bid to boost tourism. Sonko said his government would seek to bolster public finances by "broadening the tax base" while gradually lowering the average tax rates. He defined the goal as to "make all Senegalese pay less, but make all Senegalese pay" to "achieve effective and equitable taxation." He said the country would improve its economy by starting to exploit natural gas, as Senegal plans to in 2025 , but also by boosting the industrial sector. Sonko also said his government would promote "multilingualism," introducing more English and national languages into an education system dominated by French. msh/dj (AFP, AP)

The S&P 500 edged up by 2 points, or less than 0.1%, to set an all-time high for the 55th time this year. It’s climbed in 10 of the last 11 days and is on track for one of its best years since the turn of the millennium. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 76 points, or 0.2%, while the Nasdaq composite added 0.4% to its own record set a day earlier. AT&T rose 4.6% after it boosted its profit forecast for the year. It also announced a $10 billion plan to send cash to its investors by buying back its own stock, while saying it expects to authorize another $10 billion of repurchases in 2027. On the losing end of Wall Street was U.S. Steel, which fell 8%. President-elect Donald Trump reiterated on social media that he would not let Japan’s Nippon Steel take over the iconic Pennsylvania steelmaker. Nippon Steel announced plans last December to buy the Pittsburgh-based steel producer for $14.1 billion in cash, raising concerns about what the transaction could mean for unionized workers, supply chains and U.S. national security. Earlier this year, President Joe Biden also came out against the acquisition. Tesla sank 1.6% after a judge in Delaware reaffirmed a previous ruling that the electric car maker must revoke Elon Musk’s multibillion-dollar pay package. The judge denied a request by attorneys for Musk and Tesla’s corporate directors to vacate her ruling earlier this year requiring the company to rescind the unprecedented pay package. All told, the S&P 500 rose 2.73 points to 6,049.88. The Dow fell 76.47 to 44,705.53, and the Nasdaq composite gained 76.96 to 19,480.91. In the bond market, Treasury yields held relatively steady after a report showed U.S. employers were advertising slightly more job openings at the end of October than a month earlier. Continued strength there would raise optimism that the economy could remain out of a recession that many investors had earlier worried was inevitable. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.23% from 4.20% from late Monday. Yields have seesawed since Election Day amid worries that Trump’s preferences for lower tax rates and bigger tariffs could spur higher inflation along with economic growth. But traders are still confident the Federal Reserve will cut its main interest rate again at its next meeting in two weeks. They’re betting on a nearly three-in-four chance of that, according to data from CME Group. Lower rates can give the economy more juice, but they can also give inflation more fuel. The key report this week that could guide the Fed’s next move will arrive on Friday. It’s the monthly jobs report , which will show how many workers U.S. employers hired and fired during November. It could be difficult to parse given how much storms and strikes distorted figures in October. Based on trading in the options market, Friday’s jobs report appears to be the biggest potential market mover until the Fed announces its next decision on interest rates Dec. 18, according to strategists at Barclays Capital. In financial markets abroad, the value of South Korea’s currency fell 1.1% against the U.S. dollar following a frenetic night where President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law and then later said he’d lift it after lawmakers voted to reject military rule. Stocks of Korean companies that trade in the United States also fell, including a 1.6% drop for SK Telecom. Japan’s Nikkei 225 jumped 1.9% to help lead global markets. Some analysts think Japanese stocks could end up benefiting from Trump’s threats to raise tariffs , including for goods coming from China . Trade relations between the U.S. and China took another step backward after China said it is banning exports to the U.S. of gallium, germanium, antimony and other key high-tech materials with potential military applications. The counterpunch came swiftly after the U.S. Commerce Department expanded the list of Chinese technology companies subject to export controls to include many that make equipment used to make computer chips, chipmaking tools and software. The 140 companies newly included in the so-called “entity list” are nearly all based in China. In China, stock indexes rose 1% in Hong Kong and 0.4% in Shanghai amid unconfirmed reports that Chinese leaders would meet next week to discuss planning for the coming year. Investors are hoping it may bring fresh stimulus to help spur growth in the world’s second-largest economy. In France, the CAC 40 rose 0.3% amid continued worries about politics in Paris , where the government is battling over the budget. AP Business Writers Yuri Kageyama and Matt Ott contributed.
"The Young Turks" host Cenk Uygur attacked historian Allan Lichtman for being "preposterously, stupidly wrong" on his presidential election predictions. Leftist "The Young Turks" co-host and longtime anti-Trumper Cenk Uygur admitted that President-elect Donald Trump’s victory earlier this month brings him "optimistic." Uygur, who routinely railed against Trump for years on his progressive online talk show , posted to his X account on Friday that he had accepted Trump’s win because it meant that "the establishment" had been defeated. "I've been trying to figure out why I'm more optimistic now than I was before the election, even though I was so against the guy who won. I know now. MAGA is not my mortal enemy (and neither is the extreme left). My mortal enemy is the establishment. And they have been defeated!" he wrote. CANADIAN PM JUSTIN TRUDEAU VISITS TRUMP AT MAR-A-LAGO AMID STEEP TARIFF THREATS: REPORT Cenk Uygur, host of "The Young Turks," admitted on Friday he's feeling "optimistic" following President-elect Trump's win. (Seb Daly/Sportsfile via Getty Images) The point represents a notable turnaround for the progressive host who, just weeks before the election, was calling Trump an "unstable madman" during an episode of "Piers Morgan Uncensored." During the British journalist’s popular web show, Uygur trotted out various anti-Trump talking points. "He thinks we should terminate our Constitution. He had no problem trampling our democracy. I’m not letting that clown come in here and destroy this country," he told Morgan and his guest panel. But on Friday, Uygur seemed pleased that not only the "establishment candidate" was beaten, but that the mainstream media suffered a major blow as well. In a follow-up X post he added, "It's not just that the establishment candidate lost, it's that their media is mortally wounded. The source of their strength was not insipid politicians like Mitch McConnell and Joe Biden. The source of their strength was their propaganda machine - the mainstream media." He continued, noting that independent media is now freer following Trump’s win. "Now, online media is strong enough that their oppressive monopoly on the American mind has been broken. Now, we're in the jungle. They hate that! I love it! This uncontrolled marketplace of ideas is where I'm home. I'd rather be in the populist woods than an establishment prison."

(Screenshots/The Joe Rogan Experience) Various commentators and the Trump campaign itself have credited independent media for the president-elect’s victory on Election Day. Ahead of the vote, then-candidate Trump chose to appear on popular podcasts and take interviews with major influencers, including Joe Rogan, The Nelk Boys, and others. Trump leaning into podcasts this election cycle, as opposed to traditional media interviews, paid off among Gen Z men and millennials. The Fox News Voter Survey published earlier this month found that men aged 18-44 supported Trump at 53% compared to Vice President Kamala Harris’ 45%. Ex-Young Turks alum Jimmy Dore wasn't convinced of his former colleague's new stance, posting on X , "Cenk is a phony & a willing propagandist who is a cancer on the political discourse in America." Uygur made headlines earlier this month for calling out presidential historian Allan Lichtman on Morgan’s talk show for getting his 2024 election prediction wrong with his famous "Key to the White House" prediction model. The historian had predicted that Harris would win. "Look, I debated Professor Lichtman before. I told him his theories about the keys are absurd. I was right. He was wrong. I said he'd lose his keys," Uygur told the panel about Lichtman, who was present as well. Lichtman fired back, "No, you were not right, and I was not wrong!" Lichtman interrupted. "And that's a cheap shot. And I will not stand for it." Fox News Digital’s Emma Colton contributed to this report.
