In the occupied West Bank, at least 13 Palestinians have been injured in clashes with Israeli forces in Ramallah. As the army raided foreign currency exchanges, soldiers videoed soldiers firing directly at civilians and journalists.
Manuel Akanji, a defender for Manchester City, is a subject of an approach from Crystal Palace.
Palace has inquired about the availability of the Swiss international, according to sources who spoke to BBC Sport.
Akanji, who hasn’t played in either of their Premier League games this season, is expected to cost City around £15 million.
Galatasaray, a champion of Turkey, are also interested in the 30-year-old.
Akanji joined City from Borussia Dortmund in 2022, where he spearheaded the Champions League triumph over Inter Milan.
Pep Guardiola, City boss, suggested earlier this month that the city’s focus should be on spending money after spending more than £150 million on six players so far this summer.
The Spaniard claimed that having so many players in his squad was “not healthy” and that “people will talk with players and agents to find a solution”.
Tottenham are in talks to sign winger Savinho, while goalkeeper Ederson has been closely linked with a move to Galatasaray.
James Trafford, who joined City in the summer, started both of his league games while City have four senior goalkeepers on their books.
With Ederson watching from the bench as the England Under-21 keeper watched on from the substitutes’ bench, the England Under-21 keeper struggled in the 2-0 defeat by Tottenham on Saturday.
Similar to Akanji, the Brazil international has long been linked to Galatasaray, but no deal has yet been reached between the two clubs.
If City were to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris St-Germain, Ederson would need to leave, but club sources claim that no personal agreements have been made with the Italian international.
Stefan Ortega is expected to be leaving by Monday’s deadline, but the German is not yet close to leaving.
Due to tactical reasons, City are likely to look into any offers for the 34-year-old midfielder and he was left out of the Spurs game.
Guardiola claims that Brazil’s Savinho, who is currently a Tottenham target, is out injured.
Although it is unknown whether Savinho and City officials discussed him on Saturday, there were earlier discussions in the window.
Venus Williams, the two-time champion, praised the opportunity to “play more healthy” at Flushing Meadows despite suffering defeat in the US Open’s first round to 11th seed Karolina Muchova.

Australia’s accusations were “absolutely rejected,” according to Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei on Tuesday, saying that “any inappropriate and unjustified action on a diplomatic level will have a reciprocal reaction.”
Baghaei added that the measures appeared to be “influenced by internal developments” in Australia, including weekend protests against Israel’s occupation of Gaza, which organisers claimed were the biggest pro-Palestine demonstrations in Australia’s history.
He continued, “It appears that this action is taken to make up for the limited criticism the Australian side has directed toward Israel.”
Australia’s prime minister Anthony Albanese earlier on Tuesday claimed Iran was responsible for the devastating destruction of a kosher cafe in Sydney in October and that it was responsible for the major arson attack on a synagogue in Melbourne in December.
In neither of the attacks, where assailants set fire to the homes and extensive damage, there were no fatalities.
Tohid Asadi, a journalist from Tehran, reported for Al Jazeera that Iran views Australia’s actions as a continuation of its hostility toward Australia.
Iran has been subject to a number of sanctions from Australia, such as those imposed on Iran in 2024, he said, adding that Tehran sees these most recent actions as “another sign that Australia is siding with the Israelis.”
Ahmad Sadeghi, the Iranian ambassador, was declared a “persona non grata” by Australia, who also required him and three other officials to leave the nation in less than seven days. The move, according to Australia’s Foreign Minister Penny Wong, was the first time since World War II that Australia has expelled an ambassador.
Australia also suspended operations at its Tehran embassy, which opened in 1968, and withdrew its ambassador there.
Wong added that in order to advance Canberra’s interests, the government will continue to maintain diplomatic ties with Iran.
According to Foad Izadi, a professor of world studies at the University of Tehran, Sadeghi “vocal in his support for the Palestinian cause.”
“Australia’s decision to expel him is primarily due to that,” he said. The largest pro-Palestine demonstrations took place just a few days ago in numerous Australian cities.
The Australian government’s recent expelling of a country’s ambassador is an indication that they are afraid of their own population and afraid of the demands that this population [makes] in relation to the issue of genocide in Palestine.
The government will pass legislation to designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, as a terrorist organization, according to PM Albanese.
Since Israel’s occupation of Gaza began in October 2023, the Australian Security Intelligence Organization is looking into IRGC involvement in other anti-Jewish attacks.
Izadi refuted those assertions, saying that it “hasn’t provided any evidence.” He believes that the Australian government made these decisions because it is concerned about the Australian people’s serious objections to Israel and calls for greater political activism against the genocide in Palestine.
Australia’s actions against Iran coincide with Israel’s ties with the country’s decision to support France, the UK, and Canada’s recognition of a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described Albanese as a “weak politician who betrayed Israel and abandoned Australia’s Jews” last week.
Meghan Markle has refused to speak out on President Donald Trump’s latest actions, after a years-long war of words between the US leader and the Sussexes.
In an interview on The Circuit YouTube show, host Emily Chang quizzed Meghan, who comes from Los Angeles, about the recent riots between locals and ICE agents, after tough immigration laws came into effect.
Chang recalled Meghan’s interview on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore in 2016, when the Duchess was still working as an actress before she met Prince Harry, and spoke about her “choice words” she had for Trump at the time.

During the 2016 interview, Meghan called Trump “divisive and misogynistic”, before she explained: “You don’t really want that kind of world.” Emily asked Meghan about the comments, saying: “Are there things you’re dying to say or do right now but you feel like you can’t?”
Meghan responded, “No, I just make a choice based on what I care about and what I care about.” And certainly at a different time in 2016, that year. I believe I would say something if I felt the need to do it, but that’s not where I am at at the moment. Since 2016, which is before I met my husband, I haven’t said anything [political].”
The podcast host continued to push as she continued, “We are living in such a heated time, and it seems like no one is speaking up, because it’s scary to speak up.” What do you think the country is taking now?
Meghan conceded and responded, “I believe the world is currently in a really interesting time.” I just hope that people will be able to keep the values that they consider most important, feel secure, and remember that through it all, we are human.
You simply go back to the fact that we are all human beings and try to connect rather than divide, no matter how divided the world may feel.
The war of words between President Trump and the Sussexes has been going on for several years. When Harry and Meghan moved from Canada to California in 2020 after they fled the UK, there was mounting speculation over who would foot the bill for their private security.
Trump was adamant it would not be the US government. He tweeted in March 2020: “I am a great friend and admirer of the Queen & the United Kingdom. It was reported that Harry and Meghan, who left the Kingdom, would reside permanently in Canada. Now they have left Canada for the U.S. however, the U.S. will not pay for their security protection. They must pay!” It was later clarified that the couple had no intention of asking for security from the government and would foot the bill themselves.
At the conclusion of his first term in office, Trump and Joe Biden squared off in front of a potential reelection challenge. The Sussexes pleaded with Americans to “vote against hate speech” in a video released during the campaign.
Some people claimed it was a violation of the Sandringham Summit agreement, which was written up when the couple left their royal duties in 2020, but the remarks were interpreted as referring to Trump and as an endorsement of Biden. Later, Trump stated that he was “no fan” of Meghan and that he would be grateful for it.
Harry has recently been at the center of a dispute over his visa, which allows him to live in California. A lawsuit brought by the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation claimed that the US government should release information about the Duke’s US visa application to determine whether his drug use was disclosed after he admitted using marijuana, cocaine, and psychedelic mushrooms in his divisive memoir Spare.
Trump criticized the Biden administration for keeping Harry’s immigration application private in order to “protect Harry” before a decision was reached in the case.
Days later Trump was also challenged on Harry during an interview with Nigel Farage on GB News. Farage asked if there would be any “special privileges” for the prince, and the Republican candidate said: “No. We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action.”
Trump, however, stated in February that he would not be pursuing Harry because he had “enough problems with his wife” and called her terrible.
In the last few weeks, Trump spoke out about the Royal Family on a trip to Scotland,, with King Charles set to host him on a state visit in the coming weeks.
He added, “Being with Charles, Camilla, and everyone in between, I’ve got to know a lot of the family.” They are excellent individuals. They are incredibly talented people.
He continued, “And in that regard, I think the UK is very lucky, you could have people who weren’t great people.” You might have people who weren’t there, but I’m not sure if I can say that. And some people on social media saw his words as “calling out” Harry and Meghan.
