Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa greeted flag-waving supporters outside of the White House after his meeting with US President Trump. The US Treasury said it is extending a waiver on Caesar Act sanctions for another 180 days, the most allowed without Congressional approval.
A pop star sparked panic among fans after collapsing during her set at a musical festival. She was mid-song when she fell and had to be carried of by a member of security – and later admitted to having no memory of the incident.
Hyuna, a pop icon in South Korea, was at the Waterbomb Macau festival on Sunday (9 November). The 33-year-old was performing her 2011 hit Bubble Pop! when she fainted.
Fans caught video footage of the terrifying moment, which showed Hyuna stumbled and fell as she sang, and two back-up dancers rushed to her aid. The singer had to be carried off stage by a member of security.

She later took to Instagram to apologise to her fans and reassure them that she was okay. She wrote: “I’m truly sorry. It was only a short time since my last performance, but I wanted to show you my best side.”
She added that she had no memory of what happened: “I don’t think I’ve been able to be a pro. Actually I don’t remember anything either.” But, she continued to say she wanted to “work hard consistently” to improve her stamina.
The singer, who has been part of K-Pop groups Wonder Girls, 4Minute and Triple H, said: “I’ll try to build up my stamina and work hard consistently. It will be so great if everything goes my way, but I’ll try my best.”
This comes only weeks after the singer worried fans by posting about her “strict diet”. Sharing on Instagram, she wrote that she had eaten “way too much” and needed to “snap out of it”.
“Hyun-ah, you ate way too much. Let’s snap out of it and go on a strict diet,” she posted in early October. “You liked being skinny, right? Let’s do it again.”
Earlier this month, she sparked concern again as she revealed that she had lost 10kg in the last month and weighed only 49kg. For her height, 164cm, this is considered an unhealthy weight by the NHS.
Despite this, Hyuna suggested that she wanted to lose more weight. Alongside her post about her weight loss, she said: “It’s so hard to change the first digit from the 50s. I still have a long way to go.” Fans urged the singer to take care of her health.
This is not the first time the singer, real name Kim Hyun-ah, has struggled with her health. In 2020, she had to delay the release of her single Good Girl and later her album I’m Not Cool after developing a fainting condition caused by low blood pressure. The year before, Hyuna revealed that she had been battling depression and a panic disorder.
Fans have flocked to her comment section once again to express their concern for Hyuna. One wrote: “I want to see you healthy and happy, sis. Take good care of yourself.”
Another added: “Hyuna we love you!! Hope you are healthy.” While a third said: “Please take care!!! Don’t fight too hard to lose weight. Health and happiness is the most important thing.”

Week 10 again delivered, with a huge upset for the Buffalo Bills proving the ‘any given Sunday’ mantra that draws so many people into the NFL.
That result may have opened things up for the New England Patriots to creep back into a leading position they used to occupy, with a schedule that gives them an edge over their 8-2 rivals.
Over in the NFC the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams had perfect results to set up a monster clash next week, while our player of the week is chasing records as well as the MVP.
Was it just an emotional comedown from beating the Chiefs last week or something more? That’s the question for the Bills to answer.
The Bills had won seven in a row against Miami but were second best from the start as the Dolphins ran out 30-13 winners in an eye-opening result – and performance.
MVP Josh Allen only got the team’s opening first down in the third quarter and first points in the fourth – yes Miami had 10 days to prepare but it was still a massive egg laid by one of the league’s top offences.
Tua Tagovailoa threw two touchdowns but running back De’Von Achane was the devastating difference, with 225 total yards and two scores.
Bottling up the league’s best rushing attack was also key, with James Cook and company registering just 86 yards, their fewest of the season and just over half their 161.5-yard average.
Then there were the three crucial turnovers, and the two from Allen in particular. An interception in the end zone meaning a nine-minute drive produced nothing, and his fourth-quarter fumble that Miami turned into seven points just two plays later.
It was classic ‘old Buffalo’ as they shot themselves in the foot, getting into a hole on defence and Allen trying to do too much to dig his team out of it – not the calm, controlled, well-balanced Bills we’ve seen this season.
Speaking of the Patriots, they’re one of three 8-2 teams in the NFL, all AFC sides, but are they the best?
You can pick holes in New England, Denver and Indianapolis really for feasting on the lesser sides, with only five of their combined 24 victories coming against teams with a winning record – and one of those was the Colts beating the Broncos.
Denver beat the champion Eagles in Philadelphia and are kings of the fourth-quarter while Indy can ride Jonathan Taylor, but the Patriots adding Sunday’s win in Tampa Bay to their primtime success in Buffalo seems like a statement.
Their two defeats came in new head coach Mike Vrabel’s first three games, with seven straight wins, just like Denver, since then – but taking down Baker Mayfield after the Bucs had a bye to prepare was huge.
Drake Maye’s MVP claims won’t go away, and he certainly deserves point for bravery after taking some savage hits in Tampa Bay but hanging in there to steer his side to victory.
The defence is solid and rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson exploded on Sunday with 147 yards and two exhilerating touchdowns of 55 and 69 yards – becoming just the fourth ball carrier to break 22mph this season on his first score.
While you can argue who ‘the best’ is technically, the Pats should be favourites to finish with the best record thanks to their schedule – which includes just one game against a winning team, albeit a huge one against Buffalo.
Visiting Baltimore is also tough, but Denver have it even tougher in the AFC West with the Chiefs to play twice, the Chargers (who could also challenge for top seed but face the same problem) and also the Packers on the schedule.
Two teams with solid claims to be better than all of the three 8-2 sides are NFC West rivals the Seahawks and Rams, who both put up 40 burgers to go to 7-2 ahead of next week’s Hollywood blockbuster meeting between the two in LA.
They’ve both won four in a row, have quarterbacks in Matthew Stafford and Sam Darnold playing at an elite level (although Darnold had turnover issues on Sunday) with top receivers, and defences allowing under 20 points a game.
Both could easily be undefeated as well – especially the Rams as their two defeats came in overtime against th 49ers and then that agonising loss in Philadelphia when they had a game-winning field goal with the last kick blocked and returned by the Eagles for a touchdown.
Seattle also lost to San Francisco, with a late touchdown in week one, before losing to the last kick of the game against the Buccaneers – so they’re genuinely two of the best sides in the NFL.
Jonathan Taylor could be on for a record season after his incredible display in Berlin – running for 244 yards, scoring three touchdowns and adding another 42 receiving yards.
He’s currently on pace for 1,936 rushing yards, so Eric Dickerson’s long-held record of 2,105 is still within his grasp with more big games like this one.
Taylor could also have Chris Johnson’s scrimmage yards record of 2,509 in his sights as he’s on target for 2,378 – and he’s shown he can break off for big runs and touchdowns at any moment.
A fourth hat-trick of the season on Sunday is the most any player has managed through 10 weeks, and with 15 rushing touchdowns and 17 overall he can also chase LaDainian Tomlinson’s records of 28 rushing and 31 overall scores.
His 83-yard touchdown on Sunday is the longest of the season, he’s also clocked the fastest speed of the season at 22.38mph, but has strength to accompany that speed, with 228 yards after contact against the Falcons, which the NFL’s NextGen Stats says is the most in eight years.
The Baltimore Ravens looked dead and buried earlier this season, but a win over the Vikings plus Pittsburgh’s defeat at the Chargers means the AFC North is up for grabs now – with the two fierce rivals still to face each other twice, including in the final game of the season.
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell took over offensive play calling duties from coordinator John Morton after three below-par games, admittedly against good defences.
The result in Washington was 44 points scored, 546 yards, 30 first downs and Jared Goff going largely untouched. Campbell may have the clipboard and glasses on for a few more games going forward.
Matthew Stafford became just the ninth player to eclipse 400 regular season touchdown passes as the Rams beat the 49ers – while also becoming the first player ever with four touchdowns and no interceptions in three straight games.
It’s not often the New York Jets and ‘amazing’ have gone together this season, but in their win over Cleveland they scored on a 99-yard kick return and then a 74-yard punt return in the space of 36 seconds.
Jaxson Dart became the only rookie quarterback in NFL history with a rushing touchdown in five straight games, but the Giants lost him to concussion before losing a 10-point lead to the Bears.
Another defeat left the Giants 2-8 this season and they fired head coach Brian Daboll, who had been in charge since 2022, on Monday.
Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka will be interim head coach against the Green Bay Packers in week 11.
Imogen Thomas posed for pics in the sunshine on holiday in Dubai. The Welsh model wore a bikini as she soaked up the heat, showing off the results of her recent boob op.
The 42-year-old, best known for her stint on Big Brother in 2006, took to Instagram on Saturday (8 November) to share a video comprised of a series of pictures from her holiday. In them, she wore an orange and blue striped bikini, with a pair of sunglasses. The post was captioned: “It’s good to be back”.
In a pic added to her Instagram, the following day, she also donned a white snake skin bikini whilst pouring champagne. She included another video of her strutting towards the camera, showing off her amazing figure.

Another post saw her in a brown bikini and black, wide-brimmed hat. All three outfits showed off the results of Imogen’s recent surgery to have her implants removed.
On Instagram, Imogen gushed about her surgery, sharing that it was the “best decision” she’d made. She wrote: “Getting my implants removed is the best decision I made…. And I have one person to thank @dr.salihonurbasat. Girls if your thinking about it please just go for it! My only regret is that I didn’t go sooner.”
Imogen had shared her thoughts about her surgery on social media just before going under the knife. She asked her fans whether or not she should go natural after her implants were removed or have an uplift surgery, and ultimately decided on the latter.
She flew to Turkey for the operation and shared her excitement, as her breasts felt “big” for her. She said: “I cannot wait, my boobs right now are really big for me. I’ve lost quite a bit of weight, and I just can’t have this anymore. So I found the best surgeon in Istanbul.”
The reality TV star admitted to The Mirror that she doesn’t usually pay for her surgeries and instead ‘collaborates’ with her surgeons on social media.
When asked whether the price of surgeries bothered her, she said: “I don’t pay for it! I do collaborations.” She added, though, that she wouldn’t want her daughters to undergo any form of boob job. “No, I really don’t want them to. I’d do everything to avoid it, because I know they would regret it.”
Imogen appeared on the seventh series of Big Brother in 2006. Before that she became the winner of Miss Wales 2003 and was a model.
Her series of Big Brother was the third most watched in the show’s history, averaging at 4.7 million viewers. Imogen was voted out on Day 86, and placed seventh overall.
Jess Glynne thinks Alex Scott is “mental” for appearing on I’m A Celeb. The Lioness icon joins the likes of comic Ruby Wax, Martin Kemp, Jack Osbourne, Kelly Brook, Lisa Riley, Angryginge, Aitch, and Eddie Kadi.
But while former Lioness Alex is excited to make her debut in the Australian jungle, her popstar girlfriend, Jess, had a completely different view on the topic. Alex admits that she hopes the show will allow fans to see her in a completely different light than how they already know her, on and off the pitch.
Despite fronting and taking part in some of the biggest sporting events, Alex is extremely shy and describes herself as an introvert. But while she’s excited to showcase herself, her girlfriend thinks she’s “mental.”

“Jess thinks I am absolutely mental, but she will be my biggest supporter, and my mum absolutely loves the show. Thinking of her tuning in every night will bring a tear,” Alex commented.
However, Alex admits that while she’s terrified of heights, that won’t be her only concern while Down Under. She said: “I will need to push myself to speak out around all of the different and big personalities. Not going into myself for being the shy one will be my big challenge.
“People see you on TV and they assume you are outgoing, that loud person but take me to red carpets or events and I am the one in the corner going, ‘Talk to me, please give me a plus one so I don’t have to be that person who walks in on my own,’ it’s going to be a challenge.”
Alex and Jess went public with their relationship in 2023 following months of speculation about their bond. Since they shared their happy news, they’ve often appeared alongside one another at a string of glitzy events, including the Elle Style Awards.
The couple often share glimpses of their luxury holidays together on social media. When previously asked about their relationship, Alex said she was “happy and in love,” before joking that she and the Hold My Hand hitmaker had become the “same person”.
Initially, Alex had been hesitant about signing up for the show, which will see her take on a string of gruesome Bushtucker Trials – some including confined spaces, while others include eating fish eyes and animal genitalia. “But this is an amazing opportunity to test myself,” she said, adding: “I am super competitive but with myself and not other people.”
Alex also hinted she won’t be afraid of the trials, despite being scared of heights, as she has no intentions of letting her campmates go hungry during their stay in the jungle. “I don’t want to make myself look stupid, even if I do have fears, I will just throw myself into it,” she said.
Earlier today, Alex was spotted at Heathrow Airport with Jess as they waved goodbye to one another. The footballing icon exuded glamour as she made her way through departures, wearing a brown tracksuit and carrying an expensive Louis Vuitton holdall bag, her hair styled into loose curls. Before heading through to security, she and Jess hugged one another before exchanging a kiss.
